Chapter five hundred and ninety first division of war zones
Churchill was jumping up and down to attract allies from the beginning of the war, even putting aside the face of the British Empire. Among all allies, the United States was undoubtedly the most important. Churchill often flew across the Atlantic and rushed to Roosevelt.
Everything was discussed with Roosevelt. Before the United States formally declared war, Churchill and Roosevelt worked out a so-called Atlantic Charter.
In order to gain the support of the United States, Churchill went to the extent of flattery. Once when Roosevelt went to visit Churchill, Churchill was taking a bath. He actually greeted Roosevelt naked and said that the Prime Minister of Great Britain had nothing to hide in front of the President of the United States.
of.
Is there really nothing to hide? Of course not. Churchill knew very well that the biggest threat to Britain's world hegemony is no longer Germany, but the rapidly expanding United States. Britain will lose its world hegemony under the conditions of victory.
status.
The most painful thing for Churchill was that he knew the situation was like this, but he still had to work hard to please Roosevelt, otherwise Britain would not even have the possibility of survival. Although he tried his best, the British still did not occupy an important position in the balance of the United States.
.
The arrival of Chinese Foreign Minister Gu Weijun aroused unanimous welcome from all walks of life in the United States. Roosevelt paid unprecedented attention to it. The national flags of China and the United States were hung on both sides of the streets in Washington. The United States must first ask China's opinion on all matters. Although Gu Weijun still
He was just a foreign minister, but he received far more courtesy than Churchill, the prime minister.
Lao Qiu only felt a strong sense of jealousy, but he also knew that respect was won by strength. On the first day after Gu Weijun arrived in Washington, he announced that China would take on more war tasks, in the Asia-Pacific battlefield, and everything needed.
Chinese soldiers will appear on the battlefield.
This statement is really exciting for the world. It means that the Anti-Fascist Alliance has received a steady supply of reserve troops, and there is no need to worry at all. This gives all countries, including the Soviet Union, a reassurance.
.
The People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union Molotov also expressed great appreciation for China's position. Gu Weijun and Molotov also held several talks. Gu Weijun clearly told Molotov that China was willing to be a powerful force for the Soviet Union.
China is willing to provide all the help it can, and even directly send troops to the battlefield in Eastern Europe.'
Molotov expressed great gratitude to China for its generosity, and at the same time declined China's request to directly send troops. The Soviets knew very well that if China directly sent troops, it would have a great impact on the Soviet Union's status in the entire alliance.
It would undoubtedly put the Soviet Union under China.
What the Soviet Union needs more now is various supplies, weapons, food, etc. The Soviet Union has a huge gap. It urgently needs the allies to provide it. Of course, China and the Soviet Union have not always been so happy. Gu Weijun and Molotov had a dispute because of the problem in the Far East.
Fierce quarrel.
When China and Japan intervened in the Soviet Union, both China and Japan were interventionist forces. Japan took the opportunity to seize the Soviet Union's Far Eastern Frontier. After many years of operation, it has become one of Japan's important raw material supply bases.
Now that China and the Soviet Union have declared war on Japan, the issue of the ownership of this land sandwiched between China, the Soviet Union and Japan has been put on the agenda. Gu Weijun's attitude is very clear. This land has been China's since ancient times. Soon China will
The army will be sent to drive out the Japanese invaders and take back their homeland.
Molotov firmly opposed it. He emphasized that China's statement was not in line with the principles of international law. This land was seized by Japan with the help of the Russian Civil War. It was the result of illegal aggression and should be returned to Russia instead of being removed from the pile of old papers.
Find a bunch of things that have no value and determine where they belong.
Gu Weijun knew very well that he could not reason with Russia. All he could talk about was strength, so Gu Weijun suggested that the two sides simply stop arguing. Whoever defeats it will belong to whom, and China will soon launch a land attack. The Korean Peninsula and the Far East are all in China.
Within the attack range, if the Soviet Union has the ability, it can launch an attack immediately.
As soon as these words were spoken, Molotov was furious. Who didn't know that the Soviet Union had put all its efforts on dealing with Germany and could not spare any troops to deal with Japan. How could it possibly compete with China?
In the face of the dispute between China and the Soviet Union, Roosevelt seemed very happy. This old fox was very aware of the intrigues between the allies. China and the Soviet Union had conflicts of interest, as did China and the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom never dealt with it. They only continued to
The United States, which is far away from the circle of right and wrong, does not have many direct conflicts. What the United States wants is to use the conflicts between these countries to push itself into the position of mediator and then become the overall leader of the allies.
Therefore, Roosevelt proposed a way to make peace, which is to wait for the next meeting of heads of state to agree on a solution. It is still winter in the Far East, and the extreme cold has hindered the possibility of China entering the army, at least until after May. Therefore, China and the Soviet Union
The two countries also accepted the United States' peaceful behavior.
However, the topic to be discussed next becomes very sensitive, that is, the division of theaters. From a global perspective, there are mainly two theaters, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Among them, the European theater can be divided into two main theaters, the east and west. In addition, there are
Three secondary theaters: North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic.
The Eastern European battlefield is undoubtedly undertaken by the Soviet Union. The main forces in other battlefields are the British and American Allied Forces. The most important question is whether the Chinese army will join the European battlefield, whether it will participate in the Soviet attack direction, or participate in the Western Front. In the future,
Join the United States and Britain in counterattacking the European continent.
In addition, the Asia-Pacific battlefield is also divided into several areas. The United States is responsible for the Pacific Theater and the Southwest Pacific Theater. China is responsible for the Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia theaters. These battlefields intersect. After the forces of allied countries intersect, command
To whom does the power belong?
These are very thorny issues that must be discussed. If they are not finalized, the Allies themselves may start to get into chaos.
While countries were still quarreling, unfortunate news suddenly came: India's largest opposition leader, Chandra, officially announced that he would join the fascist side to fight and become a slave state of Japan.
Chandra was originally supported by China, and he also successfully disrupted the British colonial order. When the guerrillas were at their strongest, they controlled more than half of the Indian territory.
However, as the situation in Europe became tense, relations between China and Britain quickly eased, and China was unwilling to let India embark on the path of complete revolution, so it relaxed its support for Chandra. At the same time, China began to support the Indian government led by Gandhi.
Congress Party to curb the growth of Chandra's power.
Chandra's power was shrinking more and more, and Chandra also learned the hard way. He knew that China had turned from a friend into a potential enemy, so he hooked up with Japan, hoping to use Japan's power to completely realize his ideas, and
Japan is in urgent need of sleepwalking at this time. India was originally a British colony. If India fell into the hands of Japan, it would not only greatly weaken the power of Britain, but also threaten the security of China's southwest border.
How could Japan give up this opportunity? Therefore, Japan put a lot of effort into Chandra and finally pulled him into its own camp.
When Churchill in London heard that something was happening again in India, he was immediately furious. It was the brightest jewel in the British crown, and now there was a fascist force. How could he not be frightened?
Among the politicians from various countries, only Gu Weijun was the most calm. He persuaded Churchill: "Mr. Prime Minister, there is a saying in China that soldiers will come to block the water and cover it up with the earth. Chandra is a cancer in South Asia. He has joined the fascist side. This is completely asking for his own death."
Lu, for this kind of clown, it doesn’t take much effort at all!”
When Churchill saw Gu Weijun's calm and calm look, he suddenly became very angry. Chandra was able to get to where he is today entirely because of China's support. Without China's support, Chandra would have never been able to survive.
If there is no trouble, China creates trouble and then comes out to solve it.
In this process, China has deeply inserted its influence into the land of South Asia. You must know that this was originally British land, and Chinese crops were about to grow. Churchill felt extremely uncomfortable.
He knew very well that Gu Weijun was completely waiting for him to beg China to send troops to assist Britain. Churchill felt extremely uncomfortable. He even deliberately refused Gu Weijun's proposal, then poured the coffee in front of him on Gu Weijun's face, and then said fiercely
Only by spitting can Churchill feel more comfortable. But he also knows that this can only be thought about. If you want to solve India's problems, you cannot do without China's help. Who makes Britain's strength far inferior to China's.
"Mr. Foreign Minister, the British Empire has used all its power to deal with the evil Germany, and there is no extra power."
"Mr. Prime Minister, China is willing to take care of such small matters. China is willing to send troops to restore order in South Asia and eradicate fascist forces!"
"Your country now has to deal with the Japanese on the Korean Peninsula and defend its long national border. Do you still have the energy to enter India?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Prime Minister, China currently has seven million well-trained soldiers, and the number will soon exceed 10 million. The minor troubles in South Asia will be resolved soon."
Churchill read a hint of contempt in Gu Weijun's smile. Even if Britain tried its best, it would not be able to arm five million soldiers. However, China could easily build an army of more than ten million, and still have
It does not affect the country's production capacity at all, which is a reflection of the gap in national power.
"The United Kingdom agrees in principle to establish a South Asian theater. China can send troops to fight alongside the United Kingdom to completely eliminate Chandra and defend the South Asian subcontinent!"
"It's not about assisting, it's about sending China's top commander to command independently. We can't give our best efforts only to be commanded by others!"
Churchill thought for a long time and said angrily: "Yes, but please abide by the spirit of the Atlantic Charter and do not illegally expand territory!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at Qidian (),
