    The Tehran Conference lasted for a long time, and it lasted for such a long time, probably mainly because this conference was the sum of the Casablanca Conference, the Cairo Conference and the Tehran Conference, so it required a lot more time.

    For example, the Tehran Conference was held in history from November 28 to December 1, 1943, and it only lasted three days in total.

    ??In the original history, Casablanca mainly discussed the European battlefield, the Cairo Conference discussed issues on the Asian battlefield and post-war issues, and the Tehran Conference discussed the fatal blow to Nazi Germany.

    As for the Yalta Conference and the Potsdam Conference, these two extremely important conferences, in the previous life, China did not participate at all because of insufficient strength

    But this is not surprising, because the Yalta Conference itself involves China, especially Russia wants to encroach on some interests that originally belong to China, so inviting China in is a strange thing.

    The Yalta Conference was a key summit meeting held by the leaders of the United States, Britain and Russia at the Livadia Palace in Yalta, Crimea, from February 4 to February 11, 1945. The meeting formulated the post-war  The new world order and the interest distribution policy of the great powers formed the "Yalta System", which had a profound impact on the world situation after World War II.

    This meeting was the second Allied summit after the Tehran Conference in 1943. The conclusion of the meeting was controversial. Many people criticized the Potsdam Conference from July to August 1945 for allowing the Soviet Union and other countries to control Central Europe.  Many countries in Eastern Europe and Asia did not demand that the countries "liberated" by the Soviet Union after the war be handed over to the United Nations in accordance with the expectations of the occupied countries at the meeting.  In addition, in order to obtain the Soviet Union's declaration of war on Japan, some contents in the meeting seriously infringed on China's rights.  Other countries did not know about it before the meeting, so its conclusion is also known as the "Yalta Secret Treaty".

    On July 19, 1944, Roosevelt sent a letter to Stalin.  It is expected that another summit meeting between the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union will be held.  Stalin wrote back saying that he would personally command the Soviet army to fight against Germany and could not be distracted.  In October 1944, British Prime Minister Churchill went to Moscow to meet with Stalin, and Britain and the Soviet Union discussed European and Balkan issues alone.  Harriman, the U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union, attended the talks between Churchill and Stalin (known in history as the Fourth Moscow Conference) as an observer.  In December 1944, Harriman was ordered to visit Stalin and inquire about the Soviet Union's participation in the war against Japan and its conditions.

    From February 4 to 11, 1945, the Big Three - Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Stalin - gathered in Yalta, Crimea, in the presence of former Tsar Nicholas II.  The conference held in the Wazir Palace was during World War II, following the Tehran Conference in 1943.  Second important meeting of Allied leaders.  After Roosevelt's death, the Potsdam Conference was held.

    This meeting was held in the Soviet Union because Stalin refused to hold the meeting outside the Black Tower Palace.  As a result, Churchill and Rosewood once again traveled across the ocean.

    Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme commander of the Allied China Theater, was not invited to the meeting.  On the one hand, Stalin had always hated Chiang Kai-shek; on the other hand, some scholars believed that Roosevelt had lost confidence in Chiang Kai-shek at this time.

    However, in this era, China is likely to be the strongest among the five countries, whether in terms of industry, economy or resources. Therefore, China has a great say in the Tehran Conference.

    On the contrary, it is France, the former world power.  Since it was in a vassal status at this time, although Britain and the United States supported France in participating in this meeting in order to contain Russia and China, de Gaulle actually had no say in this meeting.

    In fact, it was not just de Gaulle, but also Churchill.

    After all, after losing most of its colonies, Britain¡¯s current strength is no longer enough to maintain the glory of the British Empire in the past

    However, Yan Guang did not ask for much at this meeting, he just asked to ensure China's existing interests.

    Yan Guang knows very well that all of this may have begun to touch the bottom line of various countries, if they continue to push the envelope.  After the Axis Powers are eliminated, I am afraid it will not take a few years for the five existing countries to start fighting again, and I am afraid it will be a 4v1 situation.

    Although with China's current strength, it doesn't matter even if all the remaining four are taken up - anyway, the only ones with real combat effectiveness are Russia and the United States.

    The key is when will this war end, although China only became involved in the middle of the war.  But to be honest, although the war has only started for more than a year, it has already caused a great burden on the National Socialist Government.

    This can be seen from Britain during World War I. Before World War I, the United States owed Britain almost 400 million pounds in foreign debt.  But after the war ended, Britain was almost in debt.800 million pounds from the United States.

    800 million pounds?

    During World War I, 800 million pounds was equivalent to more than 8 billion silver dollars based on the exchange rate. At that time, the Qing government's annual fiscal revenue was only more than 400 million silver dollars.  In other words, the war that lasted for four years cost the Qing government a total of twenty years of fiscal revenue

    Although China¡¯s burden is not as big as the UK¡¯s burden, it will be over one year.  The National Socialist Government's finances also turned into a deficit.

    China today is not like in the past. Even with oil funding, the financial burden is still huge.

    Not to mention the free education that has been fully implemented across the country. Since a large number of disabled soldiers have appeared in a series of wars and conflicts in the past, the government must also shoulder the responsibility of taking care of them.  After all, you can't just ignore it when it's no longer useful.

    After closing all the Invalid Farms across the country¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªThere is no way to close them. After all, twenty years have passed since the last war.  The Invalids Farm is of no use either.

    So after the closure of the Invalid Farms across the country, the disabled soldiers can receive a sum of money every month. In addition, ordinary civilians can also receive it as long as they are unable to work normally, but it can only be half of that of the soldiers. After all,  Those soldiers paid for it with their own lives

    On the other hand, when soldiers and their immediate family members go to the hospital for medical treatment, the government needs to reimburse at least half of it, which is another huge expense.

    ? plus other zero-zero totals and various welfare policies.

    While making China the country with the best welfare in this era.  It also places a huge burden on the government, which is why Yan Guang has always been opposed when domestic lawmakers often call for oil and other resources to be de-stated.

    On the one hand, it¡¯s because Yan Guang doesn¡¯t want his country to become a country controlled by oil companies, and on the other hand, it¡¯s also because the government cannot do without oil¡¯s financial subsidies.

    But the financial problem is not the most important. The most important thing is that the United States also has nuclear weapons

    Based on the current progress, the National Socialist Government is likely to obtain the first atomic bomb by the end of 1944. The problem is that the United States will only be able to do so in 45 years at the latest.

    Although there is a great advantage in being so far in advance, an atomic bomb is not something that can be easily made after all, especially when the refining technology is not yet mature.  When the atomic bomb was first invented.  Except for the two dropped on the heads of the Japanese, the number of atomic bombs in the United States remained in single digits in the first few years

    In this case, what can China do even if it is one year ahead of the United States?

    Atomic bombs are very useful, but they are not absolutely effective, especially when they are only in single digits.  And when the production of atomic bombs increases, it is estimated that the other party will be almost there.

    By that time, are we going to throw atomic bombs at each other?

    If that were the case, the world would probably have been destroyed. If it really came to that point, why would we fight?

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    During the Tehran meeting.  As Yan Guang expected, the Germans did send spies over, preparing to assassinate the German leaders meeting in Tehran.

    Fortunately, the security work during the period was very strict, so in the end not only no one was attacked, but also all the more than 20 German spies responsible for the assassination mission in Tehran were arrested.

    It¡¯s gratifying, it¡¯s gratifying, it¡¯s gratifying¡­

    But if the assassination is successful as the Germans think, I'm afraid the Allies will really be in chaos. After all, the heads of state of the five most important countries among the Allied Powers are present at this meeting. What if they all die?  It is impossible not to be chaotic.

    by that time.  Even if Germany and Japan cannot take advantage of the situation and make a comeback, they can at least persist for a few more years.

    On the other hand, the situation of the Allies is also very good.

    In the Hawaiian battlefield, although Japan and the United States are still fighting at an equal level, it is normal for the situation to have begun to reverse in the direction of the United States.  After all, Japan's industrial strength cannot compare with that of the United States. What's more, many of the colonies occupied by Japan in the early days of the war have now been lost. Now only North Korea, Australia, and New Zealand are still in Japanese hands.

    At this time, new warships from the United States are constantly being launched.  Especially new models of aircraft carriers.

    Although Japan is also constantly building Yunlong-class aircraft carriers, the Yunlong-class cannot be compared with the American Essex-class, not to mention that it is completely incomparable in terms of the number of constructions and the number of constructions.

    You must know that the Essex-class aircraft carrier is the largest number of large aircraft carriers built in the history of the United States, and served as the main force in the Pacific War and the Korean War., a few Essex class even participated in the Vietnam War.

    Historically, the United States originally planned to build 32 Essex-class ships.  In fact, 24 ships were completed, and another 8 ships were cancelled.

    As for the Unryu class, the Imperial Japanese Navy had many aircraft carrier models during World War II, and many of the parts were not interchangeable, causing a lot of inconvenience. On the contrary, the U.S. Navy built 24 Essex class aircraft carriers and 9 aircraft carriers in one go*  *-class light aircraft carrier.  Not only does it overwhelm Japan in terms of quantity, but each ship can be built with standardized parts that can be used in common. Not only is it easy to use, but even if it is damaged in battle and needs to be scrapped, the useful parts can be dismantled and used on other aircraft carriers. Therefore, in 1942, Midway Island  After the war, Japan proposed to build 16 standardized Yunlong-class aircraft carriers.

    However, the Yunlong class cannot be compared with the American Essex class, both in terms of quantity and quality

    In addition, the American industry is much more efficient than Japan, so the situation arises

    Although Japan is currently relying on the Army's aviation force to support itself in the Hawaiian Islands, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Japanese can no longer hold on for much longer.

    In the European battlefield, with the passage of time, the Russian army under the command of Zhukov has now recovered to a certain extent. Especially under Zhukov's idea of ????training the troops in actual combat, many of the new and immature troops were originally.  Now we have gained a lot of practical experience.

    By now, these former rabble-rousers have possessed a certain degree of combat effectiveness and can also play some role in some secondary battlefields.

    On the frontal battlefield, Cai E's National Defense Force is mainly responsible. In this case, the coalition forces are naturally invincible.

    ??Especially when the coalition forces have begun to gain an advantage, whether in terms of numbers or other aspects.

    Although under the command of Manstein, the German army has not suffered any major casualties so far, at least not in the early stages of Project Barbarossa, when the Russians suffered a series of casualties.

    But gradually, the German front line has begun to extend into Germany, and the nearest point is less than a hundred miles away from the German border.

    In Germany, due to Manstein¡¯s record, there have been discussions about whether to bring Manstein back.  However, due to Manstein's extremely important position in the German team, and because he has not yet had a major conflict with Hillem and others, this is just a voice.

    ¡°But if this continues, maybe this voice may become a reality¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªIf this is the case, it would be really great for the coalition forces.

    And just when the Allied and coalition forces were making good progress on the European battlefield and the Pacific battlefield, the same was true for the National Defense Forces on the Southeast Asian battlefield.

    Especially on the Nanyang Islands, with the use of a large number of chemical weapons, what was originally extremely troublesome for the National Defense Forces became much easier for the Japanese troops hiding in the jungles of the archipelago.

    After discovering a jungle where Japanese troops had broken down, the National Defense Forces did not go in to clean it up and directly called the air force to throw a few poison gas bombs into the jungle. They could then go in and collect the bodies after a few days.

    ¡°On the battlefield outside the jungle, the Japanese army was no match for the National Defense Forces.

    So not long after the Tehran Conference, the National Defense Forces had completely occupied the entire Nanyang Islands. Although there is still sporadic resistance from the Japanese army on the islands, it does not affect the overall situation.  Now the next target of the National Defense Force is only one, and that is the only two countries in Oceania, Australia and New Zealand

    As long as the Americans take over Australia first, then this war will be over for China

    Next, even if the Russians are really allowed to enter Berlin first, it won¡¯t matter, because China can already have nothing to ask for
