Bloody Heart

At the beginning of 1/9/4/3, a new heroic city was born on the huge territory of the Soviet Union - S/Da/Ling/Ge/Le.The heroic army here has indeed shown a will of steel.The victory of this battle brought about subtle changes in the balance of power on the Eastern Front. After the industrial production of Paul's family made up for the initial losses, it gradually began to turn to the upper hand.

In the summer of the same year, the failure of Ludwig's "Acropolis" combat plan[1] caused him to completely lose the initiative on the Eastern Front, and the slight advantage brought by advanced equipment was completely offset. The era of "blitzkrieg" has passed, and industrial production capacity has increasingly become an important factor affecting the war situation.And this is precisely Ludwig's biggest disadvantage compared to Paul.

The worse news is that Feliciano surrendered in North/Africa on the eve of the end of the "Acropolis" operation.This means that Alfred and Arthur can land from West/West/Li/Island and stick a sharp knife in Ludwig's back.He had to withdraw some troops from the Eastern Front to ensure the safety of the South.Of course Paul will seize/seize this opportunity and overwhelm Ludwig on the battlefield.

The Allies began to slowly become optimistic about the war situation.At the end of the year, Alfred, Arthur, and Paul Braginski finally had time to sit down at the negotiating table and talk about things that the military could not solve.

"Good morning Mr. Soviet, HERO is so happy to see you alive!"

"Thank you for missing me, as long as you don't curse me, that's enough."

"Oh, how can you say that! HERO, I'm really worried. You have been beaten so badly by Ludwig for the past two years. It's really worrying that you almost perished! But S/Da/Lin /G/Le finally had a victory, although more than 110 million people were killed or injured, it doesn’t matter how many of you there are, right?”

"This sounds sincere, but I think no matter how many casualties I suffer, I am much nobler than some people who intend to stand on the sidelines all the time, right? It's ugly to be kicked on the door and reluctantly come out. ..."

Watching two people bickering in their own language (the scene was very weird), Arthur finally stood up unbearably: "Are you two enough? Shut up!" The two stopped, Arthur Glaring at each of them, "Are we here for a meeting or a quarrel?"

"Meeting, meeting, Arthur, don't be angry," Alfred patted Arthur like a cat with fur, "Mr. Soviet and I just haven't seen each other for a few days and I really miss it."

Paul glanced at him with a half-smile, but said nothing.

Arthur sat down again, took out the meeting minutes compiled last night, and handed each of them a copy. "As you two can see," he cleared his throat, "this is the result of our discussion yesterday, and I compiled it into an agreement that complies with the rules. It mainly includes two items: first, to attack West/Europe and France/ The campaign against China will be launched at the same time in May next year; second, Mr. Braginski participated in the battle against Honda Ju in half a year after Ludwig's defeat, and won Wang Yao's Unfreezing Hong Kong University/Company. The two commented on yesterday's Is there any doubt about the result?"

"No." Alfred said.

Paul shook his head and said, "Next, we should discuss the issue of dealing with Ludwig after the war, right? Or are we going to talk about Felix first?"

Arthur said: "Ludwig. I think everyone must have reached a consensus on the occupation of the German/country partition after the war."

"Hmm," Alfred nodded vigorously, "Hero said when it first arrived that I plan to divide Germany into five districts."

"Who is in charge of each? The occupying army?" Arthur asked.

"correct."

No/L/B gentleman shook his head: "I'm afraid we don't have the energy to manage Ludwig's affairs."

Alfred wondered: "How?"

Arthur glanced at him, and said lightly: "You are different from us. In short, I suggest that the southeastern part of Ludwig's territory should form a federation with other countries, such as Roderich, Catalina, etc., and let them These neighboring countries clean up the mess on their own territory. If necessary and conditions permit, we can also give them some limited help."

"What about Gilbert?" Paul's voice cut in at this time, "I mean, East/Prussia/Russia. Don't you two think that East/Prussia/Russia is the German/National Army? source of patriotism?"

"What do you want to say?" Arthur had a vague premonition.

Paul leaned on the back of the chair, folded his hands in front of his chest: "I'm thinking about how to deal with East/Prussia/Russia after the war. Should it be divided and merged into other countries? Or should it simply be revoked? ? In short, definitely can’t stay.”

Alfred grinned and said sarcastically: "Actually, you can say 'ah, should I cut the body into pieces or chop it up after Gilbert is executed?' That kind of feeling is more suitable for you."

Arthur quickly took up the conversation before Paul could refute: "I think this matter should be considered carefully. After all," his tone was a little hesitant, "Al is right, it sounds like Gilbert Like execution, I think this must be decided carefully. We all have known him for hundreds of years, um, we must be cautious." After speaking, he was almost muttering to himself.

"Why don't we talk about Felix first." As if he didn't want to continue on Gilbert's topic, Arthur changed the topic in time.

This time both his and Alfred's eyes fell on Paul. "Mr. Soviet," Alfred said with a half-smile, "Arthur and I insist that Felix's border should be restored to the position it was before 1/9/3/9."

Arthur also said: "Any boundary changes he made on 1/9/3/9 were illegal."

Paul got off the back of his chair and asked rhetorically, "What is the criterion for judging whether a border change is legal or not? Before the outbreak of the war or after the outbreak of the war?"

Arthur nodded: "So far we have basically followed this principle."

"That's good," Paul nodded, "Our war with Ludwig didn't start until 1941, so according to your rules, I will keep the border where it was in 1941. I'm very happy with that."

Arthur's face was vaguely annoyed and sullen. He forgot that there was a two-year time difference between the two sides.At this time, Alfred replaced him: "No, Mr. Soviet, you forgot that we usually follow a common sense when determining a country's border: this border is formed without invading other countries. Your new border It was formed after the invasion of Felix, so that doesn't count."

Paul sneered: "That's an interesting thing to say—is Mr. Arthur's territory in the colony illegal? The so-called 'Empire on which the sun never sets' is actually just a collection of illegal enclosures—— Because the way to achieve occupation is aggression?"

"This has nothing to do with the subject of our meeting!" Arthur retorted coldly, "Mr. Braginski, you signed a treaty with Ludwig and obtained Felix's territory. This act itself constitutes Aggression, there is no doubt about it. Therefore, the international community has the right not to recognize your newly increased territory!"

"Or," Alfred continued with a smile, "do you also want to follow Arthur's example and establish a colony? This is not a good idea, 'comrade Braginsky', you are not fighting for the liberation of all mankind Is it?" He deliberately emphasized the word "comrade".

Paul shrugged: "This also has nothing to do with the theme of this meeting. In any case, my boundary has become a fait accompli, and I do not accept any forced changes. If some external forces insist on doing this, then I think I It can also be seen as an aggression and taken."

Arthur was expressionless, and Alfred raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Very well, then we're done talking." Then he stood up, "HERO doesn't accept your unreasonable demands for territory—HERO has always Objections are not accepted, you know that."

Paul also stood up and counterattacked nonchalantly: "I don't care whether you accept it or not, and you know that."

So this day's meeting broke up unhappy.

Arthur and Alfred left together, the two walked in the corridor in silence, and suddenly Arthur said, "Al, I'm worried about one thing now."

"Huh?" Alfred was a little absent-minded.

Arthur said: "You have to know that Braginsky's industrial production capacity is very strong, and he has an absolute advantage in front of our countries that have been destroyed by the war. Although you support us, you are too far away from us I'm worried... as he wins on the battlefield, his advantage will grow and eventually spread to the whole of Eastern/Europe. Then it's not just a Felix problem."

Only then did Alfred's eyes fall on him: "...so?"

"So I think I can consider meeting some of his requirements." Arthur said boldly.

Alfred showed a "you're kidding me" expression: "Stop joking, you were firmly against it just now, okay?"

"I didn't think of this layer just now." Arthur looked a little irritable.

"There's no need to worry about that," Alfred tried to convey his disapproval to Arthur, "I'm still here, and I won't let him occupy the whole of Eastern/Europe."

"I said you were too far away..."

Alfred plucked the hair on his head/raised/raised: "Please, this is not a problem at all! Arthur, you always worry too much, this time you can rest assured. I will help you, You don't have to compromise with him."

The green-eyed gentleman sighed and finally nodded.

However, after Arthur went back alone, he thought for a long time, finally picked up the phone, and dialed the number of Paul's station.

When they met again at the round table the next day, Alfred watched in surprise as Arthur calmly announced to himself that he had "reached an agreement" with Paul last night and was going to "compensate Poland with Germany's territory" .When Arthur said all this, Alfred glanced at Paul behind him, and the guy looked at him and smiled, like a bear picking its teeth with satisfaction.

It's just... Alfred gripped the fabric on his knees under the table, it's too cheap for him!I really want to punch that squishy face!No, don't slap your face, he looks too much like Ivan.

After listening to Arthur's statement, Alfred showed a sunny smile, perfectly concealing the urge to beat someone: "Arthur, you can't be such a saint, are you? A communist tyrant, what benefits do you give him?"

Paul said leisurely: "I will recognize Mr. Arthur's interests in Ba/er/gan." There is no obstacle for him to agree to this, because he himself knows that it is difficult for Ba/er/gan to become his power now scope.

Alfred suddenly realized: "I see, it's very good, very good, it's really a noble reciprocity!"

After the meeting, Arthur stopped Alfred dissatisfied.Emerald green eyes looked at Alfred reproachfully: "What's the matter with you today? You ate explosives, and you won't even let me go?"

Alfred was taken aback: "Huh? Has HERO done anything outrageous?"

Arthur said sarcastically: "You didn't do it, but listening to you sounds like I did something outrageous. Isn't it fair to exchange interests between countries? Why do you make it sound like I betrayed you—— Is there really such a thing as betrayal or not between us?"

Now Alfred was really stunned. "I didn't—Arthur, when did I say you betrayed me? Also, what do you mean there is no such thing as betrayal or not between us—aren't we allies?"

"Yes, ally, that's all. I am not a state or a dependent country of yours. Therefore, I also have the right to negotiate terms with others for my own benefit!" His voice was sharp and severe.

"I didn't stop you..."

"Ah, so can you explain the reasons for your irregular behavior since I told you I made a deal with Braginski?"

Alfred stood there as if frozen, and Arthur folded his hands on his chest, looking at him teasingly.

After a while, Arthur waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't intend to explain, and I'm not interested in listening." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Alfred stretched out his hand reflexively: "Arthur——"

Arthur turned his head and looked at him intently.Alfred had to surrender and rubbed his hair in annoyance: "Well, I admit, I do feel betrayed. I apologize to you, Arthur, I shouldn't bring personal emotions into national behavior .”

"Oh? So you think I hurt you personally?" Arthur asked strangely, "What does that mean?"

"Okay," Alfred simply confessed, "Arthur, you first promise that you won't take me as a pervert after listening to my explanation...Okay, you promise. The fact is, HERO I like a certain Personally - don't be surprised, this happened many centuries ago - I learned his terrible language for it, made every opportunity to meet him, and confessed to him - but obviously, I was rejected —but I still like him, for centuries, you know Arthur, it's like a drug, you can't stop when you're addicted.

"Even though I knew I was being used by him, I stupidly agreed to his request-God, that freak always puts national interests first-I'm so jealous of those who can be by his side every day, those who have the same interests as him, Because they all f/m/ could possibly be with him and I damn well never can!

"I hate Paul Braginsky, because Russia is the main body of his alliance, and the national interests of the two of them are exactly the same! That kid with strange eyes is the closest person in the world to him, I'm so jealous. God, I wish I could just beat him up, but goddammit, I can't even take one look at his face - so fucking like... ..."

Alfred held his head in frustration.Arthur was really shocked at first, but the shock was over now.But he still didn't know what to say.At this moment Alfred put down his hand and looked at him blankly: "Arthur, do you think you can still get along with me?"

"Of course," Arthur replied bluntly, "I don't think there will be any problem with that. I won't interfere in your private affairs, Alfred. I think our alliance is still very strong. And I'll make the decision Try to make the relationship stronger by taking your personal feelings into consideration."

This made Alfred a little embarrassed: "Uh, actually, you don't have to take care of my personal thoughts. After all, we are a country..."

Arthur smiled, and he patted Alfred on the shoulder. "What does it matter? No matter who we are, we used to be brothers."

Alfred's eyes widened.Arthur loved the pleasant shades of blue, as bright as the warm South Pacific.

In 1/9/4/5, on the eve of the victory of the war, the same three people met again, and the discussion this time was basically a continuation of the previous meeting.The divisional occupation of Ludwig has been determined, and a consensus has finally been reached on the disposal of Gilbert under Paul's insistence.Thanks to Arthur's efforts, the boundary of Felix was resolved smoothly last time, and this time the composition of his government has been determined.And Paul promised to join the battle against Honda Ju within 2-3 months after the victory of the war, and took the opportunity to reap more benefits from Wang Yao's territory.The biggest difference between this meeting and the previous one is the decision to establish an international organization with five major victorious countries as permanent members after the war.It will become a stage for all parties to compete in power in the future.

At this time, the war is a foregone conclusion.The Germanic brothers tried in vain to get rid of the shadow cast on them by the last war through another war, but only dragged themselves into a deeper abyss.

1/9/4/5年4月30日，第三帝国的领袖在地堡里自杀。

The next day, under the cover of his companions, Sergeant Ye/Ge/Roo/Fu went through the hail of bullets and planted the red flag of the Soviet Union on the dilapidated Reichstag.

A week later, Ludwig unconditionally surrendered.

After the war, all matters were carried out step by step according to the plan.Of course, in some areas, the two powers of the East and the West have begun to secretly wrestle for the legacy of the Third Reich.But on the bright side, the allies continued their peaceful coexistence during the war.

The only thing that surprised everyone was that Gilbert survived after the resolution of "abolishing the Prussia/Russian system" was passed.He entered the same state of suspended animation as Ivan's domestic revolution/revolution period, but this state lasted longer than Ivan's, and lasted until 1/9/4/9 years.At that time, the chaos after the war was gradually replaced by order, and a country called "Germany/Italy/Zhi/Democracy/Republic/Republic" appeared on the European continent. The national will of this new country was suspended. The Prussia/Russia who had lived for two years was reborn.

So Paul took it for granted that the reborn Gilbert was his ally and included in his sphere of influence just like Eastern/European countries.Ludwig endured the forcible separation of the same country on the other side of the wall without being able to speak a single word.

War always bears the bitterest fruit on its initiator.

The author has something to say:

[1] "Acropolis" combat plan: In the summer of 1943, the German/German Eastern Front's combat plan centered on the Battle of Kur/S/S/K, which ended without a problem.There are many translations of it, and the author chooses the one he likes the most here.

Yes, Alfred in this article is a hard-working single arrow...I think Lei’s classmates should consider whether to continue watching 0.0 because there is a special episode about his hard-working history. Dang, so Gilbert unscientifically isn't dead :)
