But when Stalin turned his attention to countries such as Britain and France, these countries turned a blind eye to the rise of Germany, as if they had forgotten the harm they suffered from Germany in World War I, and made every possible effort to make things difficult for their former ally, the Soviet Union.
This phenomenon made Stalin very disappointed. He had neither the confidence nor the motivation to fight Germany independently without the support of Britain, France and other countries. Therefore, he chose to stop military negotiations with Britain, France and other countries and instead sought peace with Germany.
Politics is really a magical thing, it often turns the impossible into the possible. It stands to reason that Germany and the Soviet Union are mortal enemies in every aspect, but due to the considerations of their own interests and the opposition to each other,
Concerned about the surrounding environment at that time, they actually abandoned the ideological gap that most Western countries thought was impossible to bridge, and began to collude in secret.
Since the current history has been changed by the South China Sea Federation and there is no Japanese military expansion in Asia, the Soviet Union's military strength in Europe is slightly stronger than at the same time in history because they no longer need to deploy heavy troops to defend Japan's attacks in the Far East.
Liu Fu had nothing to do with this situation. He was deeply afraid that some of his actions would greatly affect the course of history, thereby causing him to lose one of his greatest abilities, prediction.
In order to make up for this shortcoming, the South China Sea Federal Government secretly negotiated a plan with the Government of the Republic of China. With the South China Sea Federation as the backing, the Government of the Republic of China proposed to the Soviet Government to take back all the Chinese territory originally occupied by Russia.
This aroused the attention of the Soviet government and strengthened the Soviet military strength in the Far East.
In fact, the Soviet Union did exactly this. When the Republic of China government made this request to the Soviet government, it was categorically vetoed by Stalin, and began to transport troops to the Far East via railway to strengthen the Soviet military strength in the Far East. When the Soviet Union
After making this move, the government of the Republic of China became a little scared. After all, the Bald Comrade had not yet completely stabilized the situation in the country. He was deeply afraid that the Soviet Union would take advantage of this issue.
Faced with Baldhead's retreat, the South China Sea Federation had to step forward to help him. The federal government issued a formal notice to the Soviet government, warning the Soviet government not to provoke any trouble in the Far East. All issues can be resolved at the negotiation table. It also stated that
The federal government is willing to act as this middleman.
After receiving the protest from the federal government, the Soviet government immediately realized that there was not only one China in the east of Asia, but also a more powerful South China Sea Federation, and many of the Soviet military projects, especially the navy, relied on the federal government's support.
Technical assistance. So the Soviet government immediately conveyed through the embassy that it had no intention of provoking a war in the Far East. However, the federal government’s proposal to resolve the dispute through negotiations was also rejected by Stalin. And from this time on, the Soviet government began to gradually reduce
Military cooperation with the South China Sea Federation and began to alienate relations between the two countries.
In fact, Stalin's move was not unexpected by Liu Fu. Based on his understanding of Stalin, he was a very strong-armed figure, and his character would never succumb to the threat of force from other countries. When he was with the South China Sea Federation,
The reason for developing military cooperation relations was not that the Soviet government wanted to become an ally with the South China Sea Federation, but because the blockade of various countries against the Soviet Union at that time forced the Soviet government to seek help from the federal government.
However, the federal government has not been soft on these military projects. At the beginning, the federal navy made a lot of real money from the Soviet Union on submarines and torpedo boats. Therefore, the Soviet Union’s attitude towards the federal government was just that of a business partner, and the federal government’s attitude towards the Soviet Union was also
It’s just that you’re a bastard who doesn’t make money.
When conflicts arose between the South China Sea Federation and the Soviet Union on the Sino-Soviet border issue, the Soviet government truly realized that there was such a beast hiding under its belly, and from an emotional or ideological point of view, the South China Sea Federation
They were more resistant to the Soviet government than those capitalist countries in Europe. The reason why the relationship between the two sides did not worsen was entirely because the two countries were not bordering each other, and there was a huge China between them.
However, in the eyes of the Soviet government, the South China Sea Federation was deliberately suppressing the Soviet Union for China's sake. It was not just that, it was also a form of imperialism's suppression of the red regime, so the Soviet government simply refused.
The federal government's proposal was that it was unwilling to use the federal government as an intermediary to launch any territorial negotiations with the government of the Republic of China, because the Soviet government felt that the federal government would definitely not go toward them.
Regarding this attitude of the Soviet government, the federal government did not express anything. It only made some regrettable remarks in diplomatic rhetoric. In fact, Liu Fu did not really want to be the peacemaker, because he knew very well that like
There is basically no hope for a government like the Soviet Union, which is more proud than the French, to rely on negotiation to steal meat from its mouth. For this kind of problem, you can only knock it down and then do it yourself to take away what you used to steal from me.
Grab the stuff back, and then grab some more as you go.
Moreover, Liu Fu's ultimate goal was achieved. The Soviet government became even more confused when it saw the nonchalant reaction of the South China Sea federal government, so it added another army group in the Far East. In this way, the Soviet military strength on the Western Front was reduced to
It has been reduced so that the Soviets cannot focus all their attention on Europe. This is the only goal Liu Fu wants to achieve.
Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the 11th Olympic Games is approaching again. The host country of this Olympic Games is Germany, and the venue is Berlin. As a member of the Olympic Committee, the South China Sea Federation has naturally received an invitation from the German Olympic Committee.
Invitation. Unlike other countries, the Federation not only received an invitation from the German Olympic Committee, the federal government also received a formal diplomatic invitation from the German government. German Chancellor Hitler hoped that Federal President Liu Fu could use the Olympic Games to conduct a visit to Germany.
state visit.
After Liu Fu got the invitation, he suddenly felt a little dazed. Ever since he excused himself to attend the 9th Olympic Games in Amsterdam in 1928 and met Mustache in Germany, eight years had passed in the blink of an eye. Now he is
He is already 65 years old, his hair is all white, and he doesn’t know how many years he can live. Whether he can survive until then depends on God’s will.
Over the years, as he has grown older, Liu Fu has rarely visited abroad. Apart from working as a semi-immortal in the research institute, he can also make do with wandering around the federal government. But after receiving an invitation from the German government
, Liu Fu’s heart is alive again
He wanted to go to Germany very much and see how the guy he had high hopes for was doing. Although the news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs showed that Mustache was really an all-rounder, his ears were in vain and his eyes were in vain.
Actually, Liu Fu still wanted to see it for himself.
After consulting several doctors, Liu Fu finally received approval to conduct this state visit. And just like the one in 2028, Liu Fu chose to take a warship to Germany. The South China Sea Federation Olympic delegation will also travel with them.
He was traveling with him, but this time there was no European tour. Liu Fu had only one destination, the Port of Hamburg.
Liu Fu was accompanied by a heavy cruiser this time, but it was no longer a continental heavy cruiser. That heavy cruiser had withdrawn from the main force of the Federal Navy and became a defensive warship of the Federal Strait Fleet, and no longer carried out long-distance voyages.
.This time Liu Fu is carrying a brand new continental class heavy cruiser. It replaces the original heavy cruiser class and becomes the largest surface ship of the Federation Navy besides aircraft carriers.
This heavy cruiser has a displacement of more than 27,000 tons. It uses a new gas turbine as power, 3-axis propulsion, and a speed of up to 34 knots. Compared with the original steam turbine, the new power system starts quickly and does not need to be advanced one time.
The boiler can be preheated and pressurized every hour, and its size is also smaller, freeing up valuable space to load more weapons or fuel.
However, this new power plant also has a big disadvantage, which is that it consumes fuel, because it burns basically the same fuel at high speed and low speed. In order to save some fuel, the Federal Naval Research Institute had to install a separate power plant on the hull.
A small gas turbine is used for daily cruising, while the remaining
The two gas turbines at the bottom will only be started when the ship needs to travel at high speed, so this new heavy cruiser will have a strange 3-axis propulsion. The middle axis is the main thruster at normal cruising speed. It can make the continental class
The heavy cruiser traveled steadily at a speed of about 15 knots. (To be continued...)
