    Chapter 204

    Hurley was in chaos. The United States had no grasp of this situation before. Churchill knew about it, but he had no intention of telling the United States this information.  The United States' plan was to mediate the Sino-Soviet war and then take the opportunity to turn both countries into allies.  In this way, Europe has set up an Eastern Front rival for Germany. In Asia, China and Japan are fighting for their money. The United States can make full use of its geographical advantages. As long as it holds Britain, it can sit back and watch other countries fight.  Defending the English Channel is still easy to do with the strength of Britain and the United States. As for the British in Africa being more interested than the Americans, Churchill will not sit back and watch Germany push to the edge of the Suez Canal. The British army will definitely fight the German army to death.

    We cannot but say that this is an insidious strategy. In parallel history, the United States was reluctant to open up the Western Front battlefield because it wanted to use the Germans to weaken the Soviet Union.  In the end, they suffered a big loss. The Soviet Union occupied Berlin, and the Allied forces met at the Elbe River.

    This was a completely new situation. Hurley was unprepared and was immediately thrown into confusion. All the words he had prepared before were useless.  Looking at President Fang with a sneer and indifferent expression, Hurley felt powerless.  Originally, the United States was somewhat confident in persuading China and the Soviet Union to cease the war. After all, neither country was willing to fight on two fronts.  Now it was suddenly discovered that the Soviet Union and Germany were already involved, and the entire U.S. strategy was greatly affected.

    "I need time to report this situation to the country! I think I can't make any decisions before the country sends instructions." Hurley said this sentence with difficulty, and after speaking, he lowered his head silently and waited.  The initiative has been completely lost.  China was originally judged to be caught between the threats from the Soviet Union and Japan.  I desperately hoped for an armistice with the Soviet Union, but now I discovered that this was not the case at all.  From China's standpoint, it may have to face a pincer attack from the two powers. From this perspective.  There is a reason why China needs more aid.  Otherwise, the Chinese government would rather maintain the status quo than join the British and American camps.  Maybe the Soviet Union has the same idea. We will fight ours, and you will fight yours.

    "Okay, I still have some patience! I can wait!" Fang Jianxiong showed a cute smile, stood up gracefully, and made a gesture of invitation.  Hurley didn't have the time to care about this, and nodded and left in a hurry.  Give Fisher a look.  Fisher stopped knowingly and did not leave.

    Watching Hurley leave, Fisher said helplessly: "Dear President, if I guess correctly, you should have known this information for a long time." Fang Jianxiong did not hide his intention, nodded and said: "Not bad  , I knew it when the Soviet Union first came into contact with Germany. At first it was the Germans who took the initiative, because Churchill killed the French fleet in Africa, and later it was the Soviets who took the initiative. I don¡¯t think I need to say more about the reasons.¡±

    "As a result, the entire U.S. war strategy has been greatly affected." Fisher told the truth, and Fang Jianxiong said with a proud expression: "Thanks to the Japanese! We also have to thank the Americans for their consistent contempt for Easterners.  ! And I have to thank the incompetence of the US intelligence department! In any case, China now has the absolute initiative. In fact, I just want Americans to know that American lives are valuable, and Chinese lives are equally valuable. China will never do this.  The United States bleeds in vain. Don¡¯t mention traditional friendship to me. When I handed friendship to the U.S. government with both hands, it was the U.S. government that threw it to the ground with its own hands and stepped on it. Now, I only talk about interests. There is not enough.  interests, I will not consider joining the Allies."

    The identity of Fisher has undergone a huge change, and he is no longer the poor and unemployed Fisher he was before.  It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him in such a polite tone.  And this person is still his son-in-law!  Standing in front of Fang Jianxiong, Fisher found the feeling he had before, the feeling of needing to be respectful enough to talk to others.

    "Fang, there is one thing that I have been entrusted by. The Zionist Organization hopes to allow some students who graduated from the Chinese ** School to join the Chinese ** Corps. It also hopes that the original quota of fifty military academy students per year will be increased.  To two hundred. The money that should be paid will not be less. They also hope that it is best to organize an army to help China fight." While making the request, Fisher observed the changes in Fang Jianxiong's expression and secretly pondered in his heart.  What would Fang Jianxiong think about this matter.

    "Don't mention participating in the war. This is non-negotiable. The number of military cadets can be increased to one hundred. If there are more, there will be no need. I know what you mean by the organization. China has admitted five hundred  There are tens of thousands of Jews who have always been very friendly. But I want to emphasize that accepting the Jews who fled Europe is out of humanitarianism and does not mean that China supports Zionism." Fang Jianxiong has a reputation for being righteous and demanding benefits but refusing to support the establishment of a Jewish state.  , Jewish money is hot to the touch, but President Fang¡¯s skin is thick enough and he is not afraid of it.  Fang Jianxiong would not do anything like publicly supporting the establishment of a Jewish nation, even to death. For the sake of the future, Fang JianxiongFang Jianxiong wants to fight over the oil underground in the Middle East and compete with Britain for territory under the banner of liberating the people of the Middle East.

    "Among Americans, the only one who knows the details of Fang Jianxiong best is Fisher. Because he understands him, he is in awe.  You don't need to guess at this time to know that Fang Jianxiong must have some bad ideas, and he doesn't know who is going to be unlucky.  Looking at the problem from the perspective of a relative, this is a very reliable relative. If there is any benefit, he will not forget to call Fisher, provided that the benefit is obtained from European and American people.  Looking at this guy from the perspective of the US government's China advisor, he is definitely a dangerous person.  He has amazing insight and judgment. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap he designed and you will be in danger!  At the same time, he is also a nationalist who will only put China's national interests first at all times.

    Fisher¡¯s temptation was undoubtedly a blow, but he was not discouraged. According to his understanding, as long as there were enough benefits, he was not afraid of being unable to impress this guy.  "We can persuade the U.S. Congress to pass some bills that are beneficial to China!" Fisher offered the price and waited patiently for Fang Jianxiong's reply.

    "No need to bargain, now is not the time to talk. Your people can serve in the British and American armies, don't hang themselves from a tree. As for the future, as long as the opportunity is right. Even if the Chinese government has the ability to influence the Zionist  The plan will not set up obstacles for you." This should be regarded as a promise. After the war is over, as long as Zionism can pay enough.  China will not oppose Zionism.  To put it simply, when the management is done, don¡¯t expect help, just don¡¯t make trouble for you.  As for the outcome of the war, Fisher had enough confidence in Fang Jianxiong and also in the United States.  Well, the other party Jianxiong is more confident.

    "Well, I think I should go see Alice." Fisher, who was very knowledgeable, got up and left. The old fox changed with the changes around him.  He is no longer the loser who followed Fang Jianxiong's advice.  Fang Jianxiong has no resentment towards the changes. Fisher has done a lot for him and is on his side at all critical moments.  Now his identity is very subtle. On the one hand, he is a Jew, and on the other hand, he controls a large amount of Fang's properties in the United States. To put it bluntly, these properties are reserved for Alice's children.  Of course, it is still up to Fang Jianxiong to decide whether to stay in these industries.

    Hurley¡¯s telegram was immediately placed on Roosevelt¡¯s desk.  Looking at the contents of the telegram, Roosevelt's eyes widened and he whispered to himself in disbelief: "How could this happen? How could this happen?" The most valuable card in his mind was scrapped before it was played.  This was a big blow to Roosevelt.  All previous plans based on Sino-Soviet reconciliation must be overturned and restarted.

    Roosevelt, who had a big heart, resisted the feeling of dizziness, shook his head and said: "Inform Mr. Churchill and see his attitude."

    Soon Churchill¡¯s call back came.  The authenticity of this information was confirmed.  British intelligence services compared to the current US intelligence services.  It is undoubtedly much more professional and powerful.  This idea, the ubiquitous f**king US intelligence services.  There is no opportunity to develop after World War II.

    "Well, it seems we have to re-examine the impact of this war on the United States." Roosevelt looked at a group of silent staff and dignitaries. This information is for the US government.  It was indeed a big blow.

    "Mr. President, this is a multiple-choice question that must be answered. I would like to remind everyone that the core interests of the United States are in Europe." The speaker was Secretary of State Hull, whose preference was still to ally with the Soviet Union.

    "If Prime Minister Churchill knew what you said, he would jump into the sea in a hurry."

    "Without the Soviet Union, we would have faced Germany alone, and there were not many people in the British Army. The Germans defeated the once largest army power in Europe in just one month."

    "The Soviets are retreating steadily. Doesn't that explain the problem? In Central Asia, the Soviet army has already wiped out 1.5 million people. According to the latest news from the military observation group, the Soviet army will lose another one in a month at most.  An army of one million. If this momentum continues, the Soviet army will have as many as one million to supplement it. Although our intelligence personnel are not very competent, their estimate of the Soviet military industrial capacity is quite accurate. It will not take long before the Soviet Union  In the army, two soldiers have to share a rifle, and I heard that they already do this."

    "I hope you understand one thing. There is no longer a U.S-flagged battleship or aircraft carrier in the Pacific that can go to war. Damn the London Treaty. Our battleships are still in the dock. Someone in the Pacific Fleet must be responsible for the military operation that ventured into Midway.  .¡±

    The conference room was noisy, and everyone was arguing with each other. Roosevelt glanced at Hopkins, turned around and rolled the wheelchair with both hands. Hopkins immediately went up the wall and pushed Roosevelt to the corner.The quarrel continued, and Roosevelt said calmly: "My friend, what do you think you should choose?"

    Hopkins said calmly: "This is actually not just one multiple-choice question, but can be divided into two choices."

    Um?  Roosevelt was stunned!  He quickly reacted and smiled: "Okay, very good!"

    After reaching an agreement, Roosevelt returned to his desk. Seeing everyone still arguing, he knocked on the table gently. After it was quiet, he slowly said: "I have an interesting suggestion. You might as well listen to it." Everyone was excited.  Staring at him together, Roosevelt was very satisfied with the state of things that everyone expected. This was probably one of the reasons why Hopkins was trusted. Any suggestions he had were kept in private.

    "China's joining the Allies must be reached as soon as possible, but we must treat the Soviet Union's issue with special treatment. Since the Soviet Union has not yet clearly aligned itself with Germany, Japan, and Italy, and the Soviet government has not taken the initiative to declare war, the United States will not declare war on the Soviet Union for the time being! As for the rest. I  I think everyone knows what to do, right?" After Roosevelt finished speaking, everyone's eyes stopped rolling. What kind of logic is this?  But I soon realized the beauty of it, which was to force China to fight the Soviet Union alone.  We still have to fight Japan, and U.S. aid is not that easy to get.

    The news was quickly fed back to China, and Hurley was a little confused after receiving the telegram. Isn't this too shameless?  Will this anger that bastard dictator?  This thing is really, who came up with this idea?  How wonderful!

    Full of uneasiness, Hurley asked to see Fang Jianxiong all night long, and got the chance to meet him immediately.  After he conveyed the intention of the U.S. government, he added uneasily, "On the issue of aid, the U.S. government has given me full authority to negotiate with Mr. Fisher. We will not declare war on the Soviet Union for the time being. This is the bottom line of the U.S. government."  "

    Fang Jianxiong¡¯s anger filled his chest, and he clenched his hands unconsciously, revealing the veins on the back of his hands.  Although he looked expressionless, Hurley clearly understood the anger in Fang Jianxiong's heart at this moment.  He also knew very well that if Fang Jianxiong wanted to form an alliance with Germany and Japan, he would not be sitting in this place.  China and Japan are both powerful countries in Asia. In Chinese terms, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.  In contrast, China and the United States do not have much conflict of interest, and the alliance between China and the United States is almost a foregone conclusion.  It was precisely because he saw this that Roosevelt dared to risk angering Fang Jianxiong.  Put forward such a condition?

    Fang Jianxiong¡¯s mood was hit hard at this moment. He underestimated the heroes of the world!  I thought that the U.S. Navy had suffered a heavy blow from the Japanese Navy and would not dare to make a fuss about the conditions of the alliance. Now it seems that things are not like that at all.  Why is this so?  After Fang Jianxiong calmed down, he thought about this question from the perspective of the United States and quickly came up with the answer.  Quite simply, the continental United States was safe from Japanese attack.  Even if it loses Australia, Japan will not be able to attack the United States.  Why do you say that?  Because Japan¡¯s transportation capacity is insufficient.  Japan wants to cross the Pacific to fight the United States. If it lacks troops, it will die.  What will we use to transport more troops?  Cross the Pacific to fight the United States.  The required transportation tonnage is almost an impossible task for Japan.  Even if Japan can reach Hawaii, it may not be able to attack the fortress of Hawaii.

    Look at it the other way around.  The distance between China and Japan is very close. It is impossible for China to sit back and watch Japan grow rapidly after acquiring the resources of Nanyang, and then bite China in turn.  There can only be one winner between China and Japan.  There can be no simultaneous winners.  Because of this fundamental premise, no matter how painstakingly Fang Jianxiong tried to create a proactive situation, he would eventually have to face a geographical disadvantage.  After modern times, the cowardly Qing Dynasty led to the rapid rise of Japan, plus a bad thing.

    After thinking for a while, Fang Jianxiong picked up the phone. Hurley's expression changed and his heart tightened. The last moment had arrived.

    "Chang Qing, come here." After putting down the phone, Yang Yongtai came in, and Fang Jianxiong said calmly: "You will be responsible for the negotiations between China and the United States on the terms of the alliance."

    Hurley was completely relieved. This was the final decision. He stood up and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Yang, please take care of me!"

    "Each other! Each other!" Yang Yongtai was smiling, thinking in his mind how to bleed the United States.

    "Let's start talking tomorrow afternoon. Chang Qing will see off Mr. Ambassador." Fang Jianxiong remained calm and waved his hand gently.

    A few minutes later, Yang Yongtai came back and was secretly surprised when he saw the tired look on Fang Jianxiong's face.  "President! When it comes to negotiations, where is the bottom line? You have to come up with this big idea."

    "Hey, the Americans are so emboldened! They have proposed not to declare war on the Soviet Union for the time being. I can only bear this breath for now." Fang Jianxiong took a breath, picked up the cigarette and lit it: "But this is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as we can  With enough U.S. aid, it would be nothing for China to arm 10 million people.question.  Okay, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Go call everyone here and discuss how to price it. Two billion yuan in aid a year is not enough to cause pain to the United States.  "

    Fang Jianxiong¡¯s staff quickly arrived. After a brief briefing on the specific situation, everyone stopped talking nonsense and began to calculate the bottom line that the United States could receive.  Fang Jianxiong remained silent and listened patiently to everyone's speeches.  It was late at night soon, and the guard came in and asked if he wanted a midnight snack, and then Fang Jianxiong spoke.

    "Let's do this for now. Let's sort it out based on this and talk to the Americans tomorrow. There are three points that must be nailed down. First, we need half a year to prepare. Second, within half a year, the United States must send the first batch of aid supplies.  Sent. Third, China does not consider sending troops to Europe. But when necessary, the United States has an obligation to persuade Britain to make concessions to China."

    This third one, everyone thinks it¡¯s India¡¯s problem!  Fang Jianxiong had no intention of explaining to everyone.

    The negotiations began at two o'clock in the afternoon the next day.  Both parties were very efficient and there was not much wrangling!  A draft was quickly agreed upon and Hurley sent it back to the United States to await final results.

    Roosevelt smiled proudly when he saw the draft, and Fang Jianxiong really compromised.  But after opening it, he soon stopped laughing because the conditions offered by the Chinese were too harsh.
