In today's East Asia, Britain is destined to lose most of its interests after the war. It may not even be able to retreat to the Lion City. In the future, the world will be divided between southern Africa and the United States.
Introducing Russia can create a tripartite balance of power in East Asia, and Britain may still have a chance.
Roque does not want to see Russia return to East Asia.
The fundamental reason why the war in East Asia has not ended yet is that the conditions have not been agreed upon. Southern Africa and the United States have not yet reached an agreement on the Japanese issue.
Roosevelt was busy with the election some time ago and had no time to discuss with Rock how to deal with the Japanese issue.
Now that the dust of the US election has settled and Roosevelt was re-elected for the fourth time, it is time to solve this problem.
As for Winston’s suggestion——
Sorry, Rock can refer to Winston's proposal on how to deal with Germany after the war.
But on the Japanese issue, Britain has lost its right to speak.
Roosevelt arrived in Cyprus one day later than Winston.
Roark first congratulated Roosevelt on his fourth re-election, which is unique in American history.
Needless to say, Roosevelt's abilities were extremely outstanding, but his ability to be re-elected four times had a lot to do with special historical circumstances.
Roosevelt was appointed during the Great Depression, leading the United States out of the economic crisis and initially gaining the trust of Americans.
After the Second World War, Roosevelt's power was further consolidated. When he ran for the fourth time, some people in the United States pointed out that Roosevelt's physical condition should be chosen to lead the United States with a healthier and better image.
.
This proposal was spurned by the entire United States, and even Roosevelt's competitors said meaningfully: It is best not to change boats when you are on the river.
It can be seen that Roosevelt's physical condition is indeed not as good as before. He is very thin, his eye sockets are sunken, and his vision is probably affected to some extent. He can't focus when looking at people, but he is in good spirits. When he sees Rock
At the time, he also expressed his congratulations to Roque for his successful re-election.
this--
Did Southern Africa also hold elections last year?
Unexpectedly, Rock didn't even pay much attention to this matter.
In the United States, some people still dare to question Roosevelt's physical condition.
In southern Africa, anyone who dares to question Roque will become a public enemy in minutes.
Of course, compared with Winston, both Rock and Roosevelt were lucky.
"If we don't act soon, Berlin will be occupied by the Russians -" Winston expressed dissatisfaction with the inactivity of the Allied forces on the Western Front during the past winter.
Both Rock and Roosevelt smiled and said nothing.
France does not send a single soldier now, and Britain only wants to put the Southern African Expeditionary Force and American soldiers in the front. This is a war breaking out in Europe.
As for Russia, Roark and Roosevelt were unable to stop the Russians' actions.
The crimes committed by the German army in Russia are too numerous to mention. Now that the Russians have the opportunity to retaliate against the Germans, they will definitely do whatever they want to do.
If Roark and Roosevelt prevent the Russians from retaliating at this time, they will immediately incur the hatred of the Russians.
A falling out is unlikely. Rock and Roosevelt's think tanks have judged the current situation. Although there is a risk of World War Three, the possibility is extremely low.
The key is still lack of strength.
No matter how great Russia's war potential is, it always has a limit.
How many people are there in Germany?
Less than 70 million.
Southern Africa and the United States are both large countries with a total population of over 100 million, similar to Russia.
The United States has the support of all of South America, and Southern Africa has the Southern African Union. It needs people and guns.
Russia has lost 35 million young adults, how many more 35 million can it mobilize?
So despite the fact that the bearded man is so aggressive, he is actually at the end of his game, otherwise he would not agree to Arthur's proposal to establish a coalition government in Hungary.
With the bearded character, if Russia takes advantage, it will never sit down and talk slowly with its allies, let alone break up the talks several times if they cannot reach an agreement at one time.
"Yesterday Locke and I exchanged views on the East Asian battlefield. I believe that if we want to end the war in East Asia as soon as possible, we must ask for Russia's cooperation. This will not only end the war as quickly as possible, but also reduce our pressure in Europe.
"Winston failed to fool Rock, so he tried to fool Roosevelt again.
"My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours -" Roosevelt said slowly, and this is not easy to fool: "-It is precisely because of the constraints on the East Asian battlefield that Russia cannot use all its forces in Europe, otherwise the pressure we face may
Bigger.”
What is obfuscation?
What does it mean to confuse right and wrong?
What does thief mean and catch a thief?
That’s it!
Although southern Africa and the United States often have conflicts.
But on the issue of carving up the British sphere of influence, the interests of Southern Africa and the United States are consistent.
The British have too many colonies around the world. Places like Canada and Australia have no chance to start with. Since East Asia has expelled British influence through the hands of the Japanese, then don't come back and never see them again.
As for India——
Sorry, neither Southern Africa nor the United States has much interest in India.
To be precise, Southern Africa and the United States are not interested in Dalits in India. However, Southern Africa and the United States are still willing to coax a small number of high-quality talents with certain labor capabilities.
In later generations in the United States, the management of many large companies was basically occupied by Indians. The Chinese had a so-called glass ceiling and could only work honestly.
Many people lament that the world is unfair. In fact, the bosses of big companies are not stupid. They know very well what kind of people can provide them with what benefits. Those who are pushed to high positions are not necessarily the most capable, and may also be scapegoats.
There is a Chinese saying that the higher you stand, the harder you fall. There is a cultured saying that there will be disaster if morality is not matched. It is appropriate to put it here.
"How many people does Russia's Far East Army have? How many troops can the Japanese contain?" Winston frowned. After all, when Rock rejected Winston yesterday, he also raised the banner of public sentiment. Roosevelt simply said
Nonsense.
"Japan's Kwantung Army has more than 700,000 people--" Rock added slowly. More than 700,000 people sounded like a lot.
In fact, it is gold and jade that is corrupted on the outside.
The Kwantung Army was indeed very powerful at one time. It was formed from the Japanese Type-A Corps, and all of them were Japanese. The servant army was not eligible to join.
Now Japan is in a worse situation than Germany. The experienced veterans have been exhausted, leaving only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled in the army who have not experienced much training, let alone the test of war.
"If we cannot reach an agreement in advance, then it is best not to have too many illusions about this meeting." Winston's words were a reminder, but also a threat.
Everyone is very busy. If we can't achieve any results, we might as well go back to our respective homes and see the real results on the battlefield.
As for why we couldn’t reach an agreement——
Winston said that he would never and would never interfere with it.
"What we have to consider is how much price we have to pay to get Russia to take action." Roosevelt's attitude was not firm.
Southern Africa and the United States divide the interests of East Asia. This is the most perfect situation.
Considering the relationship between southern Africa, the United States, and East Asian countries, Americans are obviously at a disadvantage.
The United States only has one Philippines in East Asia, and it is still alienated from Germany. It will soon be like southern Africa, where the investment far exceeds the gain, and it will eventually have to give up.
The key point is that southern Africa itself has potential. It needs resources and area. If Britain managed it well, it could become the most dazzling jewel in the crown of the British King.
The blind British people easily allowed southern Africa to become independent, which became the biggest joke of the twentieth century.
The U.S. government is now considering whether to abandon the Philippines.
Don't give up. The Philippines cannot provide any benefits to the United States. What southern Africa provided to the United Kingdom was gold to stabilize the status of the pound. What can the Philippines provide to the United States?
Filipino maid?
Sorry, American families are more accustomed to hiring Mexicans.
But if it wants to give up, the United States will lose its only foothold in East Asia. For this reason, Harry Hopkins, Roosevelt's special assistant and chief adviser to the White House, proposed to divide the Philippines into two parts, one of which will be controlled by the U.S. government.
management, and the other part allows independence.
The core of this plan is to gather all the Philippines into an independent part, and then move some people from the United States to truly turn the Philippines into American territory.
I won’t tell you what Roosevelt thought of this plan, but it looked too familiar to Rock.
Isn't this how Southern Africa has expanded its territory from the original Cape to nearly 30 states now?
Of course, this plan has its shortcomings. Let’s not talk about whether the Filipinos are willing to accept it. How to move people from the United States is a big problem. After investing huge amounts of money in development, whether it can achieve the goal is another matter.
Think about how MacArthur managed the Philippines. If you encounter another MacArthur, you will lose all your money. It is better to stop the loss in time.
So regardless of whether this plan is feasible or not, the Philippines will hold a referendum sooner or later.
Don't count on the results of the referendum, it's just a formality, and the final result will definitely be consistent with the US government's decision.
"Return the rights that Russia lost in the Russo-Japanese War to Russia, and the Russians will definitely agree." Winston was in a hurry and couldn't care less about Rock's attitude.
This condition is not to seduce Russia, but to provoke the feelings of Roque and all southern Africans.
What did Russia lose in the Russo-Japanese War?
In addition to Russia's dignity as a European power, it also transferred most of Russia's interests in the Far East to Japan.
I won’t say whether Roosevelt can accept it or not.
Rock would never accept this proposal.
"no!"
So Rock's attitude was very straightforward.
"Does what Russia lost in the Russo-Japanese War have anything to do with southern Africa?" Winston became angry and clearly exceeded his expectations for this meeting.
That's right, Winston's troubles now are not just in Russia, but the bigger troubles are at home.
Both Roark and Roosevelt had unparalleled influence in the country, and no one could shake them.
Winston's status in the UK was in turmoil. The war was not over yet, but he was frequently attacked by domestic political enemies. Looking at this situation, when the war is over, Winston will most likely be abandoned by the UK again.
Winston urgently needs results to increase Winston's contribution to the war effort.
So if Russia can be persuaded to return to the Far East and end the war as quickly as possible during this meeting, then Winston's report card will be even more dazzling.
"Winston, we can no longer decide the fate of a third country without the presence of its representatives like the Paris Peace Conference -" Roque is determined to create a new international order.
Roosevelt's eyes lit up and his spirits immediately lifted.
This was also Roosevelt's ideal.
To dismantle the international system jointly established by Britain and France, it is not just about dismantling the colonial system. The key is the spiritual colonization of people by European countries for hundreds of years.
Being unable to stand up after kneeling for a long time is really not a taunt. The scary thing is that many people don't even have the awareness of "kneeling". The so-called "stand up" is actually just whether the kneeling posture is standard.
"Come on Locke, fairness never exists. The trend of this world has always been determined by a few countries -" Winston didn't even bother to pretend. He was determined not to be the gravedigger of the British Empire.
Whether you want to do it or not is one thing, but whether you do it or not is another thing.
According to Winston, the fate of Britain is no longer determined by Britain, but by southern Africa and the United States, or Russia.
And it has to be without Winston present.
The reality is so cruel.
"Yes, we are doing that." Roosevelt smiled and nodded. You are right, everything is right.
Winston was furious and walked away. This was the first time since Winston met Roark.
Rock is not angry.
Now that Winston is gone, it's up to Roark and Roosevelt to discuss how to dismantle the British Empire—and how to end this war.
"When are you going to end the war in East Asia?" Roosevelt, unlike Winston, had a very clear understanding of East Asia.
In fact, as long as Roque is willing, East Asia, Europe, and Southern Africa all have the ability to end the war in a short period of time.
"You can wait for the war in Europe to end at any time!" Roque showed strong confidence.
Today's Japan is even more desperate than at the end of the war. The Southern African Expeditionary Force only needs to drop a few atomic bombs on certain major cities, and Japan will surrender unconditionally immediately.
Don't think that the Japanese high-level officials are very determined to spend 100 million yuan. They are all to deceive the Japanese people into being loyal to the country in order to obtain better conditions for an honorable surrender.
If Japan's top leaders realize that no matter how hard they struggle, the outcome cannot be changed, then they will surrender unconditionally at any time.
Dignity is something that exists in some people who never surrender no matter what difficulties they face.
