Winston is actually very aware of the situation that Britain is currently facing, he is just unwilling to accept the result.
Roque's attitude is also very clear. Even if Roque and Southern Africa do not add insult to injury, the United States and Russia will not allow Britain to maintain its current influence. Give to God what is God's and to Caesar what is Caesar's.
"If Southern Africa and the United Kingdom join hands, we will still rule the world." Winston expressed his best intentions and said that Rock and Southern Africa were the best choices.
Of course, if Rock disagrees with this suggestion, Winston will turn around and find Roosevelt or Beard tomorrow.
"Winston, you have to accept this reality." Rock doesn't want to join hands. Britain is not a good ally.
Unless Roque is crazy, Roque will choose to join hands with Britain.
Putting aside whether joining hands can achieve the goal, France's current situation has fully demonstrated the dangers of joining forces with Britain.
If he really had to choose an ally, Rock would rather be Roosevelt or Big Beard, at least they are relatively strong.
Forget about the UK, the only thing that the UK can use now is the Royal Navy, but the Royal Navy is nothing but an empty frame. The strength of the US Navy and the Southern African Navy has far exceeded the Royal Navy, and it is difficult to lose.
The strength of the Royal Navy is there, and its well-trained officers and experienced sailors are enviable.
The key is that the Royal Navy has chosen the wrong direction. It is extremely difficult to catch up with southern Africa and the United States. The United Kingdom is currently unable to provide sufficient support to the Royal Navy.
The main reason is the number of aircraft carriers.
Before the outbreak of the world war, Southern Africa already had 12 standard aircraft carriers. In addition to the 20 fleet aircraft carriers that were urgently refitted after the outbreak of the world war, the number of aircraft carriers currently ranks third in the world.
The number one ranking is undoubtedly the United States. The United States alone has 117 escort aircraft carriers converted from merchant ships. Although the combat effectiveness of a single ship is not strong, too many ants will kill an elephant.
In second place is the United Kingdom.
Before the outbreak of the World War, Britain already had 27 aircraft carriers. After the outbreak of the World War, they were refitted and leased. At its peak, the number of aircraft carriers reached 96, and the scale was equally terrifying.
Like the United States, although the number of British aircraft carriers is large, they have few achievements, and the performance of carrier-based aircraft is lagging behind and their role is not great.
Relatively speaking, although the number of aircraft carriers in Southern Africa is not large, their combat effectiveness is very strong. Both in terms of carrier-based aircraft performance and pilot skills, they are the best among the allies.
Big Beard has expressed to Rock many times that he hopes to get help from Southern Africa to imitate the "Island" class aircraft carrier in Southern Africa.
One can only think about this matter, Roark will never let Russia obtain the relevant technology of the "Island" class aircraft carrier.
"Locke, whether it's from the interests of the British Empire or from my personal feelings, I can't accept it, never!" Winston dropped these words and stood up to leave.
This is considered an unhappy ending.
Rock had no choice. Regardless of whether Winston accepted it or not, Britain's weakness could not be changed.
The meeting continued the next day, and the topic was still the handling of Germany.
After going back in the evening, Big Beard probably discussed Roque's proposal with his think tank all night long, so as soon as today, Big Beard said that he could accept the compensation amount of 100 billion rubles and agreed to only take 50%.
Winston still disagreed.
The world war lasted for five years. From 1942 to 1944, Britain's military expenditure was as high as 20 billion pounds and 100 billion rubles, all of which were paid to Britain, but they were unable to make up for Britain's losses.
Of course, this is not how the accounts are calculated. Referring to the British calculation method, Russia's military expenditure in the past three years has reached 490 billion rubles. It is not enough to compensate the entire Germany to Russia.
Military expenditures in Southern Africa are higher, with expenditures reaching 280 billion rand in three years, so Roque is eager to end the war, because if the war continues, Southern Africa will not be able to hold on.
"If you don't agree with this distribution method, we will talk about our strength and take as much as we can." The bearded man was confident. At the same time as the Yalta Conference was being held, the Russian army once again launched a new round of offensive against the German army.
The Allies on the Western Front did not attack because they had not yet reached an agreement. In order to avoid misfire, the offensive was suspended.
Big Beard has no such worries. He can grab as much as he can now. The larger the territory he occupies, the more Russia will have a voice at the negotiating table.
In the direction of Eastern Europe, the Second and Third Ukrainian Fronts have begun to attack Vienna after ending the Battle of Budapest.
The Russian army in the Nordic direction has advanced to less than 60 kilometers away from Berlin. According to Big Beard's plan, the Russian army in Northern Europe will continue to attack Berlin in January this year.
The problem still lies with Poland.
Do you still remember the performance of the Russian army when the Polish rebels fought fiercely with the German army in Warsaw?
At that time, the Russian army watched the fire from across the bank. Although the battle line had advanced to the point where it was only across the river from Warsaw, the Russian army used the excuse of winter to stop fighting and watched the Warsaw resistance forces being strangled by the German army.
This excuse is just funny. During the Russo-German War, even when the weather was the coldest, the Russian army did not stop fighting the German army. The weather became the biggest boost to the Russian army, and it was known as the "Winter General".
Poland's climate is far less cold than Russia's.
Within Russia, the Russian army can brave the severe cold.
When they arrived in Poland, the Russian army stopped attacking in the winter. This excuse was even worse than the British excuse for the North African campaign to delay opening a second battlefield in Europe.
From July to October, the fighting in Poland lasted for 81 days, and the Polish rebels did not stop fighting until October 2.
In order to punish the Poles, Mustache ordered Warsaw to be completely destroyed, and 90,000 Poles, including 17,000 rebels, were thrown into concentration camps.
The Russian army did not resume the offensive until Warsaw was completely destroyed on January 16 and entered Warsaw on January 17.
Note that it means "entering", not "attacking".
As mentioned many times before, the Poles hate the Russians no less than the Germans.
In a sense, Poles even hate Russians more.
After the Russian army resumed its offensive, the German army retreated across the board, and Russia occupied most of Poland's territory, which aroused strong hatred among the Poles.
At the St. Petersburg Conference, Bearded Man insisted on not giving up any acquired land in accordance with the provisions of the "Russian-German Border Friendship Treaty".
In order to compensate Poland, Beard agreed to set aside part of the territory from Germany to compensate the Poles.
This proposal was not passed at the St. Petersburg Conference and was supposed to be kept secret. However, for some unknown reason, the Polish resistance made this plan public, and the Poles' hatred of Russia reached a new height.
Even the bearded man did not expect that after Russia and Germany carved up Poland, the Poles behaved quite calmly. In the German-occupied areas, the activities of the resistance forces were not frequent.
After Russia defeated the German army and took control of most of Poland's territory, the activities of the Polish resistance suddenly became more frequent. Not only were Russian logistics lines frequently attacked, but the Russian-supported provisional government was also opposed by the vast majority of Poles.
Just last month, Zelinski, the interior minister of the Polish interim government, was shot and killed while observing the destruction in Warsaw, and the Polish rebels later claimed responsibility.
This situation angered Big Beard. Just after Zelinski was assassinated, Big Beard ordered the Russian army in Poland to begin clearing out Polish rebels. This action also affected the Russian army's attacks on the northern front.
After defeating the Budapest garrison, the German defenses on the Eastern Front have completely collapsed. The Vienna garrison is far from the Budapest German army in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will. The Russian army is progressing smoothly and is currently going smoothly.
Invasion of Vienna city.
If you look at it this way, the Russian army gained significantly more on the battlefield than the British army.
"Is this your attitude towards cooperation between Russia and civilized society?" Winston sneered. Barbarians are barbarians, and they are not civilized at all.
This involves another issue at the Yalta Conference.
After the end of the last world war, Russia failed to join the League of Nations due to the rejection of Britain and France. As a result, countries around the world lacked understanding of Russia. Even the mustache was confused by the performance of the Russian army in Finland and brazenly launched the Russo-German War.
Now no one dares to look down upon Russia. Russia has become a force that cannot be ignored. One of the main purposes of Rock, Roosevelt, and Winston's trip is to reintegrate Russia into the international community.
"Civilization - what qualifications do you have to speak of civilization in front of me? Is the United Kingdom a civilized country?" The bearded man immediately turned his back and treated Winston extremely badly.
This is actually true. British "civilization" has always been just talk.
"You two, calm down, we are here to solve the problem, not to quarrel -" Rock took the initiative to make peace. If the argument continued, it would be dark.
"Adjourn the meeting temporarily -" Roosevelt proposed adjourning the meeting, preparing for a protracted war.
It's normal. This kind of meeting, which is likely to be related to the future international situation, cannot be reached in a day or two. It has to be adjusted slowly.
Except for countries with deep pockets such as southern Africa and the United States, no one can easily give in on the issue of reparations. After all, a decimal point is worth billions.
Then adjourn the meeting temporarily. Rock and Roosevelt are of the same mind. Roosevelt goes to persuade Winston, and Rock goes to persuade the bearded man.
Although he had heard about it for a long time, Rock was still shocked when he came to Yusupov Palace.
The Vorontsov Palace where Rock lives is already heavily guarded. There are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. The Russian army is responsible for the external security, and the internal security is responsible for the Palace of Justice Secret Service. The defense circle has several layers.
, mosquitoes can’t fly in.
The Yusupov Palace was completely transformed into a fortress by the Russians. The cement layer on the top was two meters thick, and one meter of sand and gravel was paved on top. It felt like even if an atomic bomb was dropped, it would not be able to break through the Yusupov Palace.
defense.
"Why do you target Winston everywhere?" In private, Rock's communication with the bearded man was very casual.
Everyone has the same status, no one is nobler than anyone else, and everyone is comfortable if their attitude is casual.
When Big Beard faced Roque, his attitude was much better. The heating in Yusupov Palace was turned on quite well, and Big Beard only wore a shirt.
"You know what the British have done. As a Russian, I have every reason to hate the British." The bearded man made no secret of his hatred for the British, and Rock could understand it.
Probably as much as Rock hates the Japanese.
"So what? Most of the time, we can't do whatever we want." Luo Ke was helpless, he couldn't help himself in the world.
If possible, Rock hopes to use atomic bombs to raze Japan to the ground, hopes to turn the British Isles into a colony in southern Africa, and hopes to get all Americans to Antarctica——
I can only think about it. If I try hard at the first step, it might still be possible.
Southern Africa is currently working hard to accumulate atomic bombs. As soon as the war in Europe ends, the Southern African Expeditionary Force will drop all atomic bombs on Japan and then negotiate with the Japanese.
If there are still people alive in Japan by then.
"The Angsa people are the worms of this world. Only by overthrowing the Angsa people's rule of the world can our world usher in true peace." The bearded man carefully observed Rock's expression.
After all, Britain was once the suzerain country of Southern Africa. Although Southern Africa and Britain are now two independent countries, Big Beard is not sure how much feelings Roark has for Britain.
Rock doesn't have Stockholm Syndrome. He hates the Angsa people no less than Big Beard.
It is said that it was Britain that opened the door to the Qing Empire with its strong ships and cannons. Britain owes the Chinese a much greater blood debt than the Germans.
"Then how should we overthrow it? Start a new war? That may lead to the destruction of our world." Rock seeks the skin of a tiger and deals with the Angsa people. Of course, the Angsa people have to use their own way.
"If we join forces, it's not impossible -" The bearded man smiled, not as if he was joking.
Roque believed that if he nodded at this time, the alliance between Russia and Southern Africa could be established now.
The crux of the problem is that Britain is not a suitable ally, and neither is Russia——
Bearded Man's desire to control is too strong. He treats enemies and allies alike. Those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish.
But then again, who are the trustworthy allies?
Neither is the United States.
For now, the only countries that Roque can trust are the countries of the Southern African Union.
Therefore, Rock has always been enthusiastic about establishing new international organizations.
Needless to say, after the new international organization is established, Southern Africa and the Southern African Union countries will join, so that Southern Africa will have a considerable say. When the time comes, Southern Africa will not be afraid of either the United States or Russia.
Isn't it just a vote by show of hands, one country, one vote? If Roque is willing, Southern Africa can become dozens of countries in minutes.
Of course the United States can do that, but as long as Roosevelt is not crazy, he will not do that.
Russia's hidden dangers are much greater than those in southern Africa.
