Republic of China game

Although the two thought so in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it on the surface, and they both nodded in agreement.Zeng Qi said loudly in Mandarin with a Sichuan accent: "The advice from the assistant commander couldn't be more timely. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received many temptations from European countries in the past few days, and they all hope that we can come forward to mediate between the United States and Germany. Atomic war, especially countries such as Italy, France, Britain, and Spain, who are now Germany’s shields, are afraid that the atomic bomb of the United States will accidentally injure them. Therefore, after we jointly propose this proposal with Russia, many countries should respond of."

Wu Ziliang also echoed with a smile: "Actually, Hitler was screaming fiercely, and he was also very afraid that Germany would be attacked by an American suicide atomic bomb. According to the information we have, after the attack in Paria Bay, Germany has obviously stepped up its patrols in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, and every incoming ship has been searched inside and out. Even the main roads entering Germany from land are closely checked by the Waffen-SS.

Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly: "Of course, after this world war, the Germans have realized their long-cherished wish for many years, and it is time to enjoy the prosperity and affluence brought by the colonies and large new territories... Their German lives Naturally, it has become valuable. Even Hitler can't help but consider this, right? Anas, this time the international conference on 'prohibiting the use of atomic weapons' was initiated by our two countries, and the meeting place is in Wuhan, Europe Over there, you can find a way to get in touch, and we will do the work in the United States. That's it, I still have some military affairs to deal with, and I will have dinner with you when I am done."

After speaking, Luo Yaoguo, Zeng Qi, Wu Ziliang and others got up to say goodbye to Anastasinia.Then he took the BMW-1937 limousine and left quietly through the side gate of Anas Palace.

When Luo Yaoguo returned to his office, both Bai Chongxi and He Yingqin were already waiting there.Both held in their hands a stack of reports on the Great War with Germany and the Civil Wars in Japan and India that had just been sorted out.These three wars are more or less related to the future national destiny of the Chinese imperialists, so the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff have to send a summary of the situation to the Presidential Palace and the Executive Yuan almost every day, so that the high-level national government can have an overview of the progress of the war. A general understanding of emotions.

Luo Yaoguo nodded and smiled at the two of them, and without saying anything polite, he took the report and looked down.Bai Chongxi also explained from the side: "The situation in the Caribbean Sea is still very tense. Both the United States and Germany seem to be ready for a decisive battle. This morning, the combined German and Italian fleets escorted nearly 200 transport ships to leave Paseo. The purpose of the Gulf of Ria may be to seize the Panama Canal! The United States dispatched nearly 2000 sorties of bombers to bomb Puerto Rico indiscriminately last night, and continued to send bombers to attack the island during the day... , The Norfolk Naval Base of the United States also concentrates the main force of the American and Free British naval fleets in the Atlantic Ocean, and there are also a large number of transport ships on standby in various ports in the southeastern United States. It is expected that the Americans are preparing to counterattack Puerto Rico.”

Then, He Yingqin began to explain the two civil wars in Asia. He said: "India's domestic situation has become tense again. The Communist International Army is ready to seek a breakthrough and a decisive battle in central India. Into the anti-fascist war', saying that the Gandhi authorities are the lackeys of the German and Russian fascists, and have sent over [-] divisions that were originally prepared to attack North Korea. The current situation of the Gandhi authorities in India is very difficult, because of the long-term civil war, The economy has been overwhelmed, the rupee has depreciated severely, the morale of the army and the people are very unstable, and domestic capitalists have transferred their capital to Southeast Asia and Australia. Now the army loyal to Gandhi has retreated to the front line of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. State, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh were all handed over to the Communist Party. Assistant Commander, let’s not take it too lightly in India. If the Communist International becomes a force, we will have a challenger in the eastern world ..."

Luo Yaoguo nodded noncommittally, and asked again: "How is the situation in Japan?" He Yingqin glanced at the other party, sighed slightly, and began to introduce the situation in Japan again.

"The situation of the Japanese Communist Party is also very good. Last week, after Nagata Tieshan and Asaka Miya Jinhiko returned to Tokyo, the so-called "Sino-Japanese Secret Treaty" to destroy Japan was spread...The Japanese Communist Party used this as an excuse, He jumped out publicly, declaring his opposition to the aggressive conspiracy of the Chinese imperialists. In the past few days, there have been demonstrations and protests organized by the Japanese Communist Party in Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka and other places, and they have also launched a boycott of Chinese goods. It is really a bit fierce. Chiang Kai-shek They are also under a lot of pressure, Fushuai, do you think we..."

Luo Yaoguo waved his hands indifferently, and said with a light smile, "Let the Japanese Communist Party make trouble. This is Japan's internal affairs, so it's not easy for us to interfere. Moreover, the Japanese Communist Party accepts the leadership of the Comintern, and our Chinese Communist Party It is the leading party of the Communist International, so they will naturally restrain the excessive behavior of the Japanese Communist Party...you know, next year is the election year!"

"The problem on the Japanese side is not too big, but the Indian side can't go on like this!" He Yingqin hesitated for a while, but still made a suggestion: "India's National Congress Party and the New Delhi authorities are worse than the Indian Communist Party in terms of organization and mobilization capabilities." It’s not one or two points, if we don’t have several times the financial and military strength, I’m afraid it will be difficult to maintain the situation, we can’t let it go any longer!”

Luo Yaoguo frowned, and slowly said: "Then I will discuss with the President, first cut off diplomatic relations with Calcutta (Indian Soviet Socialist Republic), impose an arms embargo, and then let the navy blockade the coastline of northeast India. "

Chapter 1011 Virtue and Nuclear Balance ([-]) Balance

Beginning in late April 1940, the mediation surrounding the US-Germany War was like a whirlwind, blowing from Wuhan and Moscow to America and Europe at the same time.The situation is already obvious, the war has entered the atomic age, both the United States and Germany already have the ability to manufacture atomic bombs in large quantities!

The United States opened their huge Oak Ridge plant to the outside world for the first time on April 4. According to the information disclosed by the US side, the Oak Ridge plant currently has nearly 20 gas diffusers (including those that are being assembled and debugged).If all these gas diffusion machines are put into production, at least 150 kilograms of weapons-grade enriched uranium can be produced every month!It can be assembled into 5 atomic bombs!In addition, the United States also revealed that they have built a reactor capable of producing plutonium-239 at a secret base in the northern part of the United States near Canada... In other words, the industrial base of the United States still shows great energy in the atomic age.Therefore, the United States can definitely win the war in the atomic age!

The German side was also not to be outdone. On April 4, German newspapers of all sizes published photos of Hitler visiting an isotope separation factory in the Czech Republic.The big fat Air Marshal Goering who accompanied Hitler on the tour declared at the press conference that Germany has 21 gas diffusion machines (obviously an exaggeration), which can produce 250 kilograms of weapons-grade enriched uranium every month!And Germany has also built a nuclear reactor for the production of plutonium-239 in Ukraine!In short, the social system of Nazi totalitarianism is the most suitable for war in the atomic age!Therefore, the final victory must belong to Germany!

Things seem to be a bit unexpected. After China and Russia put forward the proposal of "prohibiting the use of atomic weapons", the propaganda machines of the United States and Germany have all started to promote their countries' huge atomic warfare capabilities.

At the same time, the battles of Puerto Rico and Panama started almost simultaneously!Millions of armies armed to the teeth, thousands of various combat aircraft, and hundreds of military ships set up battlefields in the Caribbean and Central America.The daily human life and material consumption is an astronomical figure.However, the United States has the most powerful industry in the world, a population of 1.6 million, and the backing of Chinese resources transported from the Pacific Ocean, so it is not afraid of such losses at all!Germany, on the other hand, has integrated the human and material resources of the whole of Europe and Africa, and has received the support of a group of South American fascist brothers, so it can also bear the same loss.Under such circumstances, observers in China and European countries all believe that in order to win this round of war and gain the most favorable position for them in the future world structure, the United States and Germany may soon use atomic weapons again up.Peace-loving people all over the world are looking at what Wuhan and Moscow can do to save the world, which is about to fall into the quagmire of atomic war.

And this method, on May 1940, 5, finally appeared.On this day, China’s General Staff, Armaments, Ministry of National Defense and U Engineering Committee jointly held a press conference, and disclosed to the public the latest discoveries of China’s U Engineering Committee in the field of atomic weapon research—nuclear fusion weapons, hydrogen bombs!Of course, it is not that China has actually successfully developed such a super weapon that is far more powerful than the atomic bomb, but that Chinese scientists inferred that the energy provided by the explosion of the atomic bomb was enough to ignite the hydrogen nucleus and cause a nuclear fusion reaction during the process of developing the atomic bomb. , so that a super bomb with unimaginable power can be created!Moreover, the Chinese side unexpectedly penetrated their scientific conclusions after a lot of "serious and meticulous calculations" this time, proving that at the high temperature generated by the atomic bomb explosion, it is indeed possible for the mixture of deuterium and tritium to start a fusion reaction.

According to the calculations of Professor Edward Teller, an Israeli scientist serving the China U Engineering Committee, theoretically, there is no upper limit to the power of this kind of nuclear fusion bomb explosion, even if it reaches the equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT explosives, it is completely possible. of!

In fact, the fusion reaction of light nuclei was discovered earlier than the fission phenomenon of heavy nuclei. Because the high temperature required to initiate nuclear fusion reactions is difficult to achieve, it is impossible to manufacture hydrogen bombs earlier than atomic bombs.And after the atomic bomb, a weapon that can generate tens of millions of degrees of ultra-high temperature, appeared, nuclear physicists in Western countries have also realized the same problem!It's just that the final raw materials that can be used to make nuclear fusion bombs have not been found yet, but China has suddenly revealed the answer to this mystery when such a worldwide atomic war has begun.

Although it is theoretically feasible, it will take a long time to actually manufacture such a big killer as a hydrogen bomb. However, with the technological and industrial strength of the United States and Germany, in wartime conditions, if we go all out, it may not take much time. too long.And 2 tons of TNT equivalent and 2000 million tons of TNT equivalent are obviously not the same thing. If a 2000 million-ton hydrogen bomb carried by a suicide submarine explodes on the coast of Germany or the United States, it may be the end of the world. coming!

At a time when the end of the world seemed to be approaching, a great deal of diplomacy and dealing was finally taking place both in front of and behind the scenes.Ambassadors, representatives, and special envoys of various neutral or warring countries haunted Berlin, Moscow, Wuhan, and Washington.Secret telegrams were shuttled between countries, and ideas for peace or the prohibition of the use of atomic weapons were put forward one by one.All sorts of proposals have also surfaced in front of big figures from various countries.All plans and suggestions have only one purpose, that is, the scale of the war between the United States and Germany must be limited, at least neither side can use atomic weapons anymore!

The top leaders of the United States and Germany naturally summoned the top nuclear physicists in their respective countries immediately to listen to their reports on the possibility of making a "nuclear fusion bomb".And the answers of those scientists were all unanimous: "It is completely possible to make a nuclear fusion bomb! In theory, the power of this bomb can easily reach tens of millions of tons of TNT equivalent!"

Faced with such an answer, Roosevelt and Hitler, the old enemies, finally reached a rare agreement.The leader of the democratic world and the world's largest dictator issued the instruction to develop "nuclear fusion knowledge" immediately!At the same time, they all publicly issued statements expressing their willingness to send representatives to the Wuhan Conference on Prohibiting the Use of Atomic Weapons.After all, it is not the goal of the United States or Germany to destroy the world and humans.

However, the United States and Germany did not give any positive response to China and Russia's hypocritical proposal to realize world peace in an all-round way... Nuclear wars may not be fought for the time being, but conventional wars must continue!In Hitler's view, South America is almost in Germany's pocket, and the United States must not be allowed to get involved again, so Germany must control the Panama Canal and completely block the way for the United States to go south!From Roosevelt's standpoint, the United States must not tolerate Germany's deployment of atomic weapons at the doorstep of the United States-Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands!So the United States must seize these two regions at all costs.At the same time, the U.S. cannot abandon the Panama Canal, an important place in North and South America. It is not only a traffic artery connecting the east coast and west coast of the United States, but also a key stronghold for the United States to compete with Germany for South America. Once it falls into the hands of Germany, Then the United States will forever lose the fertile back garden of South America.

U.S. negotiator Secretary of State Hull and German foreign minister Ribbentrop came to the Chinese capital Wuhan when the battles of Puerto Rico and Panama were in full swing.Before the first meeting between the US and German delegations, Chinese Foreign Minister Zeng Qi and Russian Foreign Minister Nikolaevich jointly proposed two preliminary plans for the US and Germany to choose.

The first plan is a comprehensive peace between the United States and Germany. The specific plan is that Germany withdraws from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and returns them to the United States; while the United States withdraws from the east of the Panama Canal and hands over half of Panama to Germany. The Panama Canal will be implemented Virtue condominium.Neither the United States nor Germany will be liable for war reparations, and Italy will get several islands in the West Indies; Russia and other countries that participated in the war but did not send troops will neither gain nor lose anything; in addition, Free Britain will would become the Kingdom of Canada, an independent country ruled by Queen Elizabeth.

The second plan is jointly endorsed by China, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Poland, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries. Germany, Italy, the United States, and Free Britain promise not to use atomic weapons in the next war. The combat areas of both sides are limited to the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.In addition, Russia and other countries that have not officially sent combat troops before will also withdraw from the war and become neutral countries.

……

United States, the White House, President Roosevelt took a telegram from Secretary of State Hull, frowned and asked Marshall, "George, what do you think? Should we accept the first option or the second option, or simply reject both options at the same time?" "

Marshall also had a puzzled expression on his face. Now that the Battle of Puerto Rico and the Battle of Panama have reached their climax, it is a time when the outcome is uncertain.Although the United States had the upper hand on the battlefields of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, which were closer to the mainland, it was clearly on the defensive on the battlefield of Panama.The suicide atomic bomb attack launched by the United States on Paria Bay on April 4 obviously did not achieve the expected good results. The unscathed German and Italian combined fleets still firmly occupy the sea dominance in the southern Caribbean Sea.Moreover, Venezuela and Colombia, two South American countries, also joined the war against the United States under the pressure of Germany, allowing the German army to advance by sea and land, and invaded Panama, which had just been completely controlled by the United States.

"Mr. President, to tell you the truth, we are indeed not sure of defeating Germany in a short period of time, but once we accept the first plan proposed by China, although the United States can also obtain a decent peace, in the long run, the United States It will lose room for future development.”

Roosevelt nodded in agreement, and took a deep puff on his cigar: "But can we win if we fight?"

Marshall thought for a while, then nodded heavily: "Victory! Definitely victorious! Mr. President, the final result of a war is strength! And the industrial strength of the United States is at least two to three times that of Germany! The population is [-] times that of Germany The Caribbean Sea is at the doorstep of our United States, but it is thousands of miles away from the German mainland, so as long as this war can continue for a long time, it will definitely be Germany that cannot sustain it!"

"What about China? They seem to be the biggest winners of this world war so far. If we and Germany end up in a situation where both sides suffer, will China..." Roosevelt thought for a while, then turned to his number one confidant, Hope Kings said: "Harry, what do you think? Will the world's number one power in the future become China?"

Of course, Hopkins understood Roosevelt's thoughts. Although the term of the American president was running out, it did not prevent Roosevelt from continuing to plan for the century-old plan of the United States.

Although Germany is the biggest enemy in front of the United States, it has become one of the three major powers in the world, and it is also the country with the largest territory, the largest population, and the richest resources in the world-China is undoubtedly a country that cannot be ignored opponent!

But the problem is that in the current United States, there are not many political forces aware of the "China threat"!Even some right-wing politicians who stubbornly insist on anti-Chinese advocates, their appeal is nothing more than driving the Chinese in the United States back to their own sphere of influence in the East!Even China's acquisition of the right to use Pearl Harbor for 30 years did not express much objection.Because in the eyes of these political forces, the natural sphere of influence of the United States is the Americas. As long as North and South America are under control, Americans can comfortably live a wealthy and isolated life.In their words, "South America is the backyard of the Americans!" And now the villain Hitler has put his claws into the backyard of the United States, er, no longer into the backyard of the United States, but the entire backyard of the United States—— South America has been taken!Under such circumstances, all foreign policies of the United States should revolve around retaking South America... and all other issues are insignificant compared with retaking South America!Of course, this view was made before the great threat of atomic weapons.

"President, if the United States loses South America, our economy will have to rely on the markets and resources of the Eastern world, and our military deployment will inevitably focus on Central America and the Caribbean." Hopkins said after deliberation: "Unless Germany is willing to withdraw from South America, there is no possibility of reconciliation between us and Germany. In order to fight against Germany, cooperation and even alliance between China and the United States will become an inevitable choice for the US government in the future. To become the world's number one power in the future, the United States will have to unite with them."

Roosevelt nodded slightly. A United States that has lost South America is no longer qualified to compete for the throne of world hegemony, and Germany, which controls South America, will undoubtedly overwhelm the two superpowers China and the United States and become the master of the future world!In this case, the only option for the United States is Lianhua to make Germany.As for the possibility that Germany will take the initiative to spit out the South America that has been eaten in its mouth and return it to the United States, it basically does not exist.

"Mr. President, as long as we can limit the scale of the war to conventional wars, we will surely be able to win the final victory with our strong industrial strength." Marshall emphasized his tone at this time, and once again put forward his own point of view.

"But will Hitler agree?" Roosevelt thought for a while and said, "Even if he agrees now, when the German army is in a disadvantageous situation on the battlefield, I think he will use the atomic bomb without hesitation!"

"President, no one will agree to give up South America, so we must continue to fight!" Seeing that Roosevelt was a little shaken, Marshall quickly raised his voice and reminded.

"Oh, I know, and I won't agree to give up South America, but we shouldn't rule out diplomatic efforts now." Roosevelt exhaled blue smoke, fell silent for a while, and said again: "The relationship between the United States and Germany There shouldn’t be only one solution to the differences between virtues, since the Chinese have built a bridge of communication between virtues, why don’t we go down this path?” He glanced at the puzzled man Marshall smiled and said: "We can agree to the second plan proposed by the Chinese, first ban the use of atomic weapons, and at the same time use this channel to start further negotiations with Germany under the mediation of China and Russia. Of course, at the same time We can proceed as usual, we can fight and talk with Germany... I don’t think Hitler wants to see China take advantage of the US-Germany war to grow and become the number one power in the world, right?”

……

"Auxiliary commander, the United States has agreed to our second plan. In addition, the United States also hopes to start further negotiations with Germany to find a way to end the war."

Zeng Qi appeared in front of Luo Yaoguo with a proud face, holding the telegram he had just received in his hand.On the other hand, Luo Yaoguo's eyes seemed to be closed but not closed. He propped his head up and just looked at a report on the table that was jointly submitted by the Armament Department and the U Engineering Committee. Funds and key technical equipment required for the project.The total amount of loans to Russia involved here is as high as 15 billion French currency!Although most of this huge sum of money will be used to purchase machinery, equipment and construction materials produced in China, there is also a reliable collateral-a large oil field located in the Kingdom of Persia.However, it is impossible for Congress to approve this loan. The biggest obstacle is that the project to help Russia build an atomic bomb must be kept absolutely secret!That is to say, the national government cannot inform Congress of the specific purpose of this loan, and it is absolutely impossible for the current Congress to pass such a huge budget with unknown purpose and unknown funds, even if the Kuomintang occupies the majority of seats in Congress.

"... Italian Foreign Minister Count Ciano also told our ambassador in Rome yesterday that the Italian leader (referring to Mussolini) has rushed to Berlin to persuade Hitler to accept our and Russia's ban on the use of atomic weapons Second plan.

Commander-in-Chief, it seems that the wind of the nuclear fusion bomb we released really frightened many people!According to the situation grasped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during this period, not only Mussolini was working for Hitler, the leaders of France, Britain, Poland and other countries, even the former German Emperor Wilhelm II who was in exile in the Netherlands gave Hitler a gift. Go to a personal letter, or go to Berlin to lobby the German head of state.The big capitalists in Germany and the senior generals of the Wehrmacht also spoke to Hitler one after another, asking him to treat atomic weapons with caution. "

Zeng Qi's expression was extremely complacent, and he could see the current situation clearly. There is no way to resolve the hatred or conflict of interests between the United States and Germany in the short term!Moreover, due to the threat of atomic weapons, the two countries actually dare not let go of their hands and feet to fight a big fight!The proposal of "prohibiting the use of atomic weapons" put forward by China and Russia and the theoretically feasible super nuclear fusion bomb only gave the leaders of the United States and Germany a step to step down.In this way, in the future, the virtues and virtues will inevitably be in a situation where they can neither fight happily nor reach a reconciliation by turning hostility into friendship.It is almost a long-term pain instead of a short-term pain. Under the double influence of the interests of South America and the hatred caused by the previous war between the two countries, even if there are more than ten or twenty years, it may not be enough for the two countries to find a country that can walk together. path together?Wouldn't China's future international environment be extremely good?

Luo Yaoguo was also well aware of Zeng Qi's thoughts.However, he is not as optimistic as Zeng Qi. There are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in the world. Didn’t Communist China and American imperialism in history join forces for a short time under the pressure of the Soviet Union?Moreover, the United States is an extremely realistic country. Once they realize that they can no longer monopolize South America, they are likely to turn to seek to "share" South America with Germany... Doesn't the United States now propose further negotiations with Germany? Yet?

Once the virtues and virtues are reconciled, China, the "second most powerful country in the world", will surely become the main target of the world hegemon Germany!Therefore, efforts to divide and disintegrate the European camp under German control must be carried out to the end!

Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo whispered to Zeng Qi: "Mu Han, I want you to secretly go to Free Britain to meet Churchill, and you tell him that China is willing to provide the Free Britain with atomic bomb manufacturing technology and Equipment! The condition is that Free Britain will try to help an oil development project in Persia get a loan totaling 6 million U.S. dollars."

"Free Britain!?" Zeng Qi was stunned for a moment, then fixedly looked at Luo Yaoguo, why does this guy like to spread atomic weapons so much...

Luo Yaoguo smiled deeply: "Britain has not completely surrendered to the Nazis yet! Besides, Canada is now the second most powerful country in North America. I think they also need atomic weapons very urgently, right?"

Chapter 1012 Finale ([-]) Election Program

In the land of China in the early summer of 1940, world wars seemed to have become a thing of the past.Although on the other side of the world, the United States and Germany are still fighting bloody battles in the Caribbean and nearby Central America, but what does this have to do with ordinary Chinese people?At most, it's just a topic for chatting after dinner. Even if those foreigners use the legendary "hydrogen bomb" to destroy each other and blow up half the world, isn't our side in the other half of the world?

Today's Chinese people are a bit like the isolationist Yankees in history. They are indifferent to what is happening in Europe and the United States, and they are also satisfied with China's huge benefits in this world war.For them, it's time to enjoy the peace and prosperity that they paid a lot of blood to win (in fact, the mentality of the Germans is similar at the moment).If anything else they care about, it's how to turn everything China has gained in this world war into something that will make their daily lives more comfortable and affluent...

First of all, how should the vast land looted through war be distributed?Chinese people, especially Chinese peasants, have an unimaginable desire for land. For them, land is almost equal to life, and the biggest driving force of Chinese revolution in history is also the land issue!But now, Chinese peasants no longer need to go through armed uprisings to acquire land.As the election year is approaching, as farmers who still account for the majority of China's population, their votes are enough to make the ruling Kuomintang, the opposition left-wing party alliance, and several far-right fascist parties all crazy about it!One after another, the allocation plans for "state-owned land" (referring to land plundered by foreign wars) have been written into their election platforms by various political parties, and without exception, they are doing everything they can to curry favor with Chinese farmers.Even the Communist Party and the alliance of left-wing political parties, which have been criticizing the national government's policy of aggression and expansion, took for granted the fertile land that should have belonged to the aborigines of Nanyang as a small gift to please Chinese farmers... and the extreme right Youth Party The election platforms of the Fascist Party, the National Socialist Workers Party, and the National Socialist Workers Party even put forward the "apartheid" policy. The land is handed over to farmers with Chinese nationality and votes for farming!Uh, it seems that things like parliamentary democracy and elections are indeed evil paths in legends!
