Beiyang reactionaries

"Vice-Chairman Yang's words are old-fashioned."

Duan Xun smiled.

What Yang Wei thought was what Duan Xun thought.

After all, Europe, especially Western Europe, is where old-fashioned imperialism exists.Western European countries suffered heavy losses in this war, so now they can only accept the leadership of the United States.But their ancestors were bullish after all, and used to be the hegemon of the world.Therefore, they surrender to the United States on the surface, but they cannot be completely convinced.

It is also impossible for their diplomacy to completely follow the baton of the United States.

Otherwise, in history, Britain and France would not disobey the command of the United States and flirt with China for their own interests.Britain was the first to recognize New China, and soon established a semi-diplomatic relationship with China.France is the first major country among Western countries to establish diplomatic relations with China.

Former world hegemons like Britain and France all have their own little ones.

So what China has to do is not to compete with the Soviet Union and the United States for hegemony in Europe.Today's China does not have that kind of strength and cannot reach out to European countries.In other words, China should not strive for that kind of so-called hegemony.Britain and France will not be willing to become the younger brothers of the United States, so they must also be willing to maintain friendly relations with a big country like China.In this way, Britain and France can use China to gain more benefits from the United States.

The same goes for the socialist camp.

Like Tito's Yugoslavia, they did not follow the orders of the Soviet Union very much.These are things that China can strive for.

"Vice Chairman Wang (Wang Jingwei), now is the time for our diplomacy to play a big role. Our diplomatic department must take the initiative to cooperate with European countries, whether it is the Nordic countries, Western European countries, or Eastern European countries. Take the initiative to contact them and become friends with them. Of course, there is no need to be courteous, because we are the ones who take the initiative. First increase some communication with them, I think they should be more anxious than us. To get our support, they should be more anxious than us urgent."

"Yes."

Wang Jingwei nodded.

But Wang Jingwei quickly said: "But Chairman, should we send a person in charge from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Europe to be in charge of European diplomacy as a whole, as well as the next cooperation and negotiation issues. Compared with the individual ambassadors in Europe In combat, it should be much better to have someone in charge of the overall situation.”

"Do you have a choice?"

"Chairman, how is He Fengshan? In the eight years since He Fengshan returned to China, he has done very well, whether it is working in the Northern Bureau or being transferred to Vientiane City to be in charge of diplomacy and supplies in the Indochina Peninsula. The main reason is that He Fengshan made trouble in Europe back then. There is a lot of movement. After eight years, helping the Jews has become a politically correct thing. If we guide the public opinion a little bit, He Fengshan’s prestige in Europe and even in the world will be very high. He will go to Europe to take charge, I think the most Suitable."

"Where is He Fengshan now?"

"It was originally responsible for the affairs of the Chinese Federation on behalf of Wei Chen's group. However, recently, our country has more negotiations with Southeast Asian and South Asian countries, so it was transferred to Changsha to participate in the Asian Joint Conference, and is mainly responsible for negotiating with Southeast Asian and South Asian countries."

"He Fengshan's level has also arrived. In this way, appoint He Fengshan as the vice minister of foreign affairs, as the ambassador to Europe, and when the United Nations is established in Greece, he will be appointed as the ambassador to the United Nations. Let him set off immediately and go to Europe to take charge of diplomatic affairs. He is now I'm still young, I have experienced a few years in Europe, and I can use it in the future."

Duan Xun agreed with Wang Jingwei's recommendation.

He Fengshan is only 43 years old, but he has already experienced many things.After a period of experience in Europe, if the results are excellent, there is still a lot of room for future development.

"Yes."

On April 1945, 4, the Soviet Union concentrated 11 million troops, equipped with more than 300 combat aircraft, more than 5000 cannons, 16000 tanks and self-propelled artillery, and began the final battle of World War II, the famous Battle of Berlin.

Germany is also not to be outdone.

More than 120 million troops, about 3500 combat aircraft, more than 10000 infantry guns and mortars, and about 1500 tanks and self-propelled artillery were deployed in Berlin. With a solid defensive position, they will live and die with Berlin.

苏军对于柏林进行了猛烈攻击，几天之内接连突破柏林外围防线。1945年4月20日，苏军包围了柏林。1945年4月22日，苏联军队攻入柏林。1945年4月23日，经过了惨烈的巷战，苏联军队已经是来到了柏林市中心。1945年4月24日，苏联军队拿下了离德国总理府只有一条街的波茨坦广场。

On April 1945, 4, when Soviet troops captured Potsdamer Platz, Mussolini was captured by Italian partisans. On April 24, 1945, Mussolini, who was once Hitler's greatest ally, was shot and his dead body was found in Milan Square. On April 4, 25, facing an unfavorable situation, Hitler chose to commit suicide in despair.

The Soviet army carried out the Battle of Berlin. When Berlin was fighting bloody battles, the British and American troops also reached the periphery of Berlin.However, the British and American troops have been watching the Battle of Berlin and did not directly participate in the Battle of Berlin.Because the British and American troops are still very afraid of the German army.

After the Normandy landing, the British and American troops and the German army also fought head-to-head several tough battles.The result was heavy casualties for the British and American troops.In fact, the offensive strength of the German army is now completely inferior to that when World War II broke out, but it still caused a lot of casualties to the British and American troops.Therefore, the British and American troops did not want to storm Berlin.For Britain and the United States, the continued expansion of casualties is unbearable for them.

It should be said that Germany is really tenacious.

At this time, Germany still deployed millions of troops in Berlin, established a large number of defensive positions, and the resistance was very fierce.Throughout the Battle of Berlin, the Soviet army suffered more than 30 casualties, and nearly 10 were killed.

Really paid the price in blood.

The British and American troops watched the progress of the Battle of Berlin and the Soviet attack, and they were still very apprehensive on the whole.Because they saw the Soviet Union's desperate style of play and saw the Soviet army's strong firepower advantage.The Soviet Union suffered heavy casualties throughout World War II.It can even be said that young and middle-aged people were killed and injured, almost a generation was cut off.

Under such circumstances, the Soviet army was still able to launch the Battle of Berlin, and was able to withstand casualties on such a scale.This is definitely a shock to Britain and the United States, but also a kind of fear.

Britain and the United States absolutely cannot afford the price of the Soviet Union.

Not to mention the scale of casualties in Britain and the United States, even if it is half, or even one-third, one-fifth, Britain and the United States cannot bear it.But the Soviet Union not only withstood it, but also reversed Germany.Paid 30 in the Battle of Berlin and won Berlin.It is impossible for Britain and the United States not to be afraid of such a country and army that are not afraid of death.

After the Battle of Berlin, the Anglo-American, Soviet-French armies met in Berlin soon. On May 1945, 5, Hitler's successor, the commander-in-chief of the German submarine force in the early years, and later the commander-in-chief of the German Navy, Admiral Dönitz signed the unconditional surrender on behalf of the German government.

So far the Second World War officially ended.

On August 1938, 8, the Japanese attack on the British forces in Machen is considered by many historians to be the beginning of World War II.Of course, many historians believe that Japan's attack on Machen was not the beginning of World War II.The German invasion of Poland on September 19, 1938 was considered the prologue of World War II.

But no matter which one it is, the Second World War, which began in 1938, ended completely with the signing of the unconditional surrender by Germany.The nearly 7-year World War II caused more than 8000 million deaths and more than 2 million casualties.With China behind the back to support the Axis powers, the result was that the Second World War was much more tragic than in history, and the casualties were also much more than in history.

The heaviest casualties were, of course, the Soviet Union.

Throughout World War II, the Soviet Union suffered more than 8000 million casualties.Among them, more than 1000 million soldiers died, and more than 2000 million other civilians died.As for the disabled soldiers and civilians, there are too many to count.A generation of young and middle-aged people in the Soviet Union died. It is definitely not a joke.Even among young adults who are alive, most of them are physically disabled.

Then there are countries like Germany and Japan.

The casualties in Germany were also very large, more than 2000 million people, and more than 1000 million soldiers and civilians died.Compared with the Soviet Union and Germany, Japan suffered much fewer casualties, but its military and civilian casualties also exceeded 1000 million.

Even the loss of Britain and the United States is staggering.

The United States was severely beaten by Japan on the Pacific battlefield, with nearly 70 dead and more than 200 million casualties.Including the casualties of the United States in the European battlefield, the total exceeds 300 million people.

British losses were not small.

Of course, Britain also had the Commonwealth and colonial troops to help fight the war, so the casualties of the British army were greatly reduced.But British civilian casualties were still high.Especially when Germany was the most bullish in the early days, the Luftwaffe carried out large-scale bombing of the United Kingdom.Millions of British civilian casualties were caused.

In 1944, Germany launched a large number of missiles to Britain again.There are a lot of missiles, and more than [-] missiles have been fired.These German missiles are still very powerful.

More than 4 structures were destroyed and nearly 20 were damaged.More than 13 casualties were caused.

In fact, compared with these direct casualties, indirect casualties are the most serious.

Those who died of starvation, those who died of disease, and various indirect deaths due to wars are the most numerous.The entire world has a population of just over 30 billion people.But more than 2 million casualties, what kind of concept is this.

Especially when the war is concentrated in several countries in Europe and Asia, the proportion of such casualties is even more astonishing.Anyway, World War II is finally over.

"What's going on over there in the Marshall Islands?"

"Troops have taken over the Marshall Islands' military ports. The U.S. Navy has all withdrawn from the Marshall Islands."

"it is good."

During this period of time, many things happened in the world, and Duan Xun also had to deal with many things.

On March 1945, 3, the founding meeting of the United Nations was held in San Francisco.Many countries participated in this meeting, 16 countries participated, and 63 countries in Asia alone participated, and a series of rules and regulations of the United Nations were formulated.

The content adopted by the "Yalta Conference" was confirmed again.
