Alexander really didn’t have time to answer the phone. A few hours ago, the convoy of His Royal Highness the Prince and the Pasha was attacked. Now someone drove into the strait and drowned. The director was directing the investigation. He really didn’t have time to pick up Murdu.
phone number.
Assisting in investigations generally does not exceed twenty-four hours, which may or may not be long, but it is enough to determine the fate of many people.
During the period when Colonel Mustafa was grounded, Prince Said was greatly mentally frightened and has not yet returned to normal.
Pasha was seriously injured and was still receiving treatment in the hospital of the League of Nations troops. It is said that a critical illness notice has been issued.
Anatolia became the biggest winner. After meeting Arthur, he returned to his house and did nothing.
On February 3rd, amidst the commotion, the Ottoman Republic was proclaimed, Anatolia became the acting president, Colonel Mustafa became the prime minister, and the League of Nations soon transferred control of the Black Sea outlet to the Ottoman Republic.
On the 4th, Winston's body recovered at a miraculous speed, Rock was also released from isolation, and the Big Four could finally sit together and chat happily.
Someone is unhappy.
Big Beard was indeed prepared to raise the issue of the Black Sea outlet on the first day of the meeting. Now this opportunity seems to have disappeared. As the successor of the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Republic should gain control of the Black Sea outlet.
Big Beard doesn't think so.
The Ottoman Empire fell in 1922, more than 20 years ago.
Big Beard believes that the Ottoman Republic no longer has any legal inheritance relationship with the Ottoman Empire, and the issue of the Black Sea outlet should be re-discussed.
"We should re-discuss the ownership of the Black Sea outlet, otherwise this will definitely affect our cooperation. Russia's security cannot be left to others and must be firmly controlled by the Russians." The bearded man was firm and made it clear that he was not
Recognize the Ottoman Republic.
Rock and Winston looked at each other, they had already anticipated today's situation.
Roosevelt's eyes wandered between Rock, Winston, and the bearded man. The United States did not take a position on the issue of the Black Sea outlet. The United States cared more about the Suez Canal than the Black Sea outlet.
But now is not a good time to discuss the Suez Canal. Southern Africa and the United Kingdom have reached a consensus on the issue of the Black Sea outlet. Rock and Winston have become temporary allies. The Ottoman Republic is a temporary alliance between Rock and Winston.
Damn it, Roosevelt hasn't decided who to support yet.
“The Ottoman Republic has promised to use the Black Sea outlets, including the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles Strait, as international permanent open waterways. The Ottoman Republic has promised not to do so under any circumstances.
Blockade the Black Sea, the Federal Government of Southern Africa and the United Kingdom guarantee the validity of this commitment, and Russia can always enjoy the freedom of peaceful access to the Black Sea." During the isolation period, Roque would talk to Winston on the phone every day, which was what they discussed to appease Russia.
plan.
As the Russian battlefield improves, Big Beard is now full of confidence, and his ambitions are also expanding as the Russian army becomes stronger.
Rock and Winston have been mentally prepared for the Russian lion to open his mouth. As long as the bearded man's request is not outrageous, Rock and Winston will make appropriate concessions.
For example, on the Baltic Sea coast and some territorial issues in Eastern Europe, Rock and Winston were ready to make concessions.
You have to give in. The Russians are extremely greedy on all issues related to land.
I think before the outbreak of the World War, Russia had secret negotiations with the Axis Powers. If it had not been for the failure to reach an agreement on the Romanian oil fields, Russia would have joined the Axis Powers. In that case, the World War would have been another situation.
Now in order to appease the Russians, we must also make certain concessions on the territorial issue. This is not a compromise, but what the Russians deserve.
In any case, in the process of fighting the Axis Powers, Russia paid a huge price that other countries could not bear. Reasonably and logically, Russia should gain certain advantages in the distribution of interests after the war.
"This promise has no meaning. The Ottomans can overturn the promise at any time. Who will guarantee Russia's interests then?" Roque's plan obviously did not satisfy Big Beard.
"Are you saying that the dual commitments of the Southern African federal government and the United Kingdom have no meaning?" Roque's concessions also have a bottom line, and the Black Sea outlet is the bottom line.
Emotionally, Rock sympathizes with the Russians.
But sympathy does not mean there is no bottom line. Roque is not Neville, and he will not make unrestricted compromises with the Russians.
Big Beard is right, the Ottomans' promise is indeed meaningless.
But with the addition of the Southern African Federal Government and the United Kingdom, the weight is completely different.
The UK has not yet fallen to the point of following a certain country and waving its flag.
Southern Africa is in a period of rapid rise in international status, and national credibility must be guaranteed, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.
Russia has not yet become one of the two poles, and the bearded man is not that confident. Russia still needs the assistance of the Allies to consolidate the advantageous position it gained after losing 25 million people on the battlefield.
"The British Empire can guarantee the validity of the promise of the Ottoman Republic. If the Ottomans overturn their promises, we have a hundred ways to stop the Ottomans." Winston took a chance and gambled on the honor of the British Empire.
Now Britain does have this strength.
But Winston certainly could not have imagined how quickly Britain's strength would decline.
"Of course I believe in the commitments of the Southern African Federal Government and the United Kingdom, but I still reserve my attitude on the issue of the Ottomans." The bearded man prefers retreat to advance, let's wait and see.
After passing the most difficult stage, the Russian army has regained its strength and is better than ever in terms of quantity and quality of its troops.
Before the outbreak of the war, the Russian army had a total of 2.9 million men. Although the number of tanks and aircraft was large, their performance was backward, logistics was chaotic, and combat effectiveness was low.
After three years of bloody war, the Russian army has been reborn. The addition of a large number of advanced Allied weapons has effectively improved the combat effectiveness of the Russian army. Russia's military industrial capabilities have also improved rapidly. Last year alone, Russia produced nearly 30,000 new tanks.
and self-propelled artillery.
If there had been no world war, the Russian army would have been extremely slow to upgrade its weapons. The war accelerated this process. Russia has now begun to develop the T44 medium tank. The specific data is not known to the outside world. The Allies speculate that the combat effectiveness should be no less than that of the United States.
Sherman.
Russia's model is very terrifying once it enters the explosive mode. Within a year, it can form millions of troops and produce tens of thousands of tanks and aircraft. Even the United Kingdom and the United States have begun to fear the Russians.
It's not enough to be afraid.
The key is that both Britain and the United States lack Russia's determination to win at all costs.
Russia can sacrifice a generation for victory, but Britain and the United States cannot do it anyway.
So the bearded man's confidence lies in time.
As time goes by, Russia's strength will become stronger and stronger, and by then the ownership of the Black Sea outlet will be a matter of course.
With this premise, it is logical for both parties to make appropriate concessions.
So at the dinner party in the evening, the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
This is the first group dinner attended by various countries since they gathered in Tehran.
This dinner was proposed by Big Beard. In order to show Russia's national strength, Big Beard held the dinner in Pahlavi's palace, but Pahlavi himself was not invited.
For Pahlavi, the king, this was a Russian-style humiliation.
The bearded man is indeed very arrogant, and there are not many people who are qualified to be invited. In southern Africa, in addition to Yang Smuts, Rock also brought Gavin with him.
Unlike the tense meetings during the day, the atmosphere at the dinner seemed harmonious, like a gathering of old friends.
Some people in the West will say that we should separate work and life, not bring work into life, and enjoy life while working hard.
In fact, they are all deceiving themselves. If you want to have fun, just say so. There is no need to create a clever name. The state will pay for it anyway.
Bearded's dinner party inherits the tradition of the Russians, which is luxurious and luxurious, with bells and whistles, hundreds of alcoholic beverages, and all kinds of delicacies, open to the public.
But at the level of Rock and Winston, appetite is no longer important. Rock's health doctor has very strict dietary requirements for Rock. He rarely eats at night. Even if there are many delicious things, Rock will turn a blind eye.
.
The key is communication.
During the daytime meeting, Roosevelt rarely spoke. Rock wanted to take this opportunity to communicate with Roosevelt and find out Roosevelt's opinions on the war.
"The war has progressed to this point. We must win a complete victory and gain leadership of the future world. This is a big reshuffle. Each of us has a chance." Roosevelt was in poor physical condition, and every time he spoke,
Just pause.
Rock couldn't remember when Roosevelt died. It seemed that his fourth term was not over.
"You don't seem to be in good health. You should pay attention to your health." Rock and Roosevelt are also old friends. Their relationship is not very good, mainly because they know each other a lot.
"I have been in a wheelchair for 20 years. No matter how good my body is, I will become old without regular exercise. I am ready to face death. This is something that all of us cannot avoid." Roosevelt was open-minded and looked at
Rock's face was filled with envy.
Roark was about the same age as Roosevelt, but his health was completely different.
Rock pays great attention to exercise and is still in good health, unlike a 60-year-old.
"Yes, we are all old, and the future belongs to their young people." Rock looked at Gavin inadvertently and found that Gavin was chatting with a young man.
"That's my son, Franklin Roosevelt Jr." Roosevelt looked proud, and the name was chosen so casually.
Now Roosevelt is a naval officer, commanding a destroyer operating in the Atlantic Ocean. Rock doesn't know under what name Roosevelt came to Tehran.
Certainly not in his capacity as Roosevelt's secretary.
Roosevelt Jr. attracted much attention because of his identity as Roosevelt. He was a very forthright person. He once smashed a reporter's camera and contributed a lot of news to the first family.
Roosevelt's wife, Ethel Dupont, was a member of the famous DuPont family in the United States. This was the best example of the "combination of government and business" in the United States, and was known as the "Romeo and Juliet" of the United States.
Roosevelt was a man unwilling to be left alone. He was discussing with Gavin the possibility of introducing southern African cars to the U.S. market.
At one time, southern African cars accounted for half of the U.S. market.
During the Great Depression, the United States significantly increased import tariffs to protect American companies and the American market.
Southern African car companies have changed their business methods, switching from exporting complete vehicles to exporting parts, and producing them in the United States under the name of local American companies.
Although this method has achieved good results, it does not meet the needs of some Americans. Many Americans are eager for real southern African cars. For example, Lord cars have a large number of fans in the United States.
"If southern African car companies are willing to sell cars to the United States, then I can help. You should know that the Roosevelt family has huge influence in American politics and American business circles. We are a prominent family." Roosevelt Jr. said bluntly.
He is really straightforward, to the point of being unscrupulous.
Roosevelt Jr. has a famous saying: There are no aristocratic families in the United States, only prominent families.
This sentence opened the deepest scars in the hearts of Americans. Many Americans believed that Roosevelt's behavior was unacceptable.
"Southern African car companies have tried to enter the U.S. market to provide better services to American users, but this has caused concerns among some U.S. car companies and American politicians." Gavin is very low-key, and he is at the other end of the spectrum from Roosevelt.
In terms of prominent status, the Locke family's status in southern Africa is definitely higher than the Roosevelt family's status in the United States.
However, the members of the Locke family are very low-key, so low-key that their photos cannot be published in newspapers. Photos of Gavin and Alvin have not appeared in newspapers for a long time. Many southern Africans’ impression of Gavin has even remained in Nigeria.
In the laboratory at Asalan University, it was thought that Gavin was still studying animal embryos.
"There is no reason to worry about this. The United States is a country that advocates freedom and democracy. Only full business competition can stimulate market vitality. If Americans like Southern African cars, then the U.S. government should protect the rights of Americans and obtain southern African cars."
The power of the automobile." Roosevelt did not seem to realize the lethality of his words.
Tell a joke: American liberal democracy.
Roosevelt's love for wealth is well known in the United States.
The marriage with the DuPont family did not satisfy Roosevelt Jr. Roosevelt had a total of four marriages, which caused him to be removed from the "Blue Book" social registration recognized by American society.
However, when these words came out of Roosevelt's mouth, it was not that he was arrogant, but that he really thought so.
