Text Chapter 490 Five-Party Talks

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Amsterdam, the Netherlands, this seaside city in the Netherlands facing the North Sea, has become the focus of the world for the third time in four years.

    There are many reasons why meetings are always held in the Netherlands.

    First, the Netherlands is sandwiched between the United Kingdom and Germany, not far from the Soviet Union, and its geographical location is very "suitable".  In Europe today, most countries are either embracing the Soviet Union, Germany, or the United Kingdom.  Only a few countries, such as the Netherlands and Switzerland, still maintain their detached neutral status.

    Second, the Netherlands is close to the sea. It is very convenient for the envoys from Britain and Germany to come here to show off their skills. In contrast, Switzerland, another neutral country, is not very suitable.

    The third is the "compensation" given by the British to the Dutch.  In 1942, the British teamed up with Japan and an uninvited China, and the three countries worked together to carve up Dutch Indonesia.  After losing their last colony, the Dutch's life was like Wang Xiaoer's Chinese New Year, and every year was worse than the last.

    The British decided to hold the conference in the Netherlands, and they also wanted to "make some extra money" for the Dutch as compensation.  Every time an international conference is held in the Netherlands, journalists and foreign guests from all over the world flock in. These crowded outsiders can also bring some economic income to the Netherlands.

    Lin Han¡¯s family has changed history indiscriminately, causing some ¡°old¡± rogue countries in Europe, such as the Netherlands and Spain, to fall into the miserable state of being able to make a living by being other people¡¯s ¡°meeting venues¡±.

    However, no one in the "Big Five" in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, cares about the thoughts of the declining sea coachman in the Netherlands.  They gathered here to discuss topics related to the world island, especially "peace" in the North Pacific.

    There are three contents of the topic.

    1. How to intervene in the U.S-Japanese war, which is about to enter the "first phase", is a topic that no one among the five countries can escape.  Even China, which has the weakest maritime capabilities among the five, has a direct territorial border with China under the control of Japan, and Japan occupies the Taiwan Bend of China.  If we don¡¯t talk about the Taiwan bend issue.  China is very likely to side with the United States because of this issue - in order to win over China, the United States has put forward a lot of very attractive conditions for the new China on the Taiwan issue.

    2. The topic of how to drive American power back to the Americas after the war.

    3. The topic of establishing a new international order after the war.

    Since every topic is important, the meeting was attended by the top leaders of the four countries.  Worried about sabotage by outsiders, each of the four countries sent specialized security personnel to Amsterdam, where the leaders of the four countries were staying, to make arrangements beforehand.  the resulting costs.  It also made the host Dutch a small fortune.

    Among the three topics, the first and second issues are closely related. As long as the U.S. Navy is defeated, the United States will naturally have no choice but to withdraw to the Americas.  The third issue of the new Eurasian order is not urgent and can be discussed slowly.

    The focus of the discussion among the five countries was the topic of the Pacific War, but among the two protagonists of this war, the Americans and the Japanese, only the Japanese sent their prime minister to participate.  As for the Americans, the United States also wants to send people to participate.  However, it was declined by the four countries that convened the meeting, and the reason was: the name of this meeting was the Eurasian Talks, and the United States is an American country.

    When Europe¡¯s official newspapers reported this incident, their front-page headlines already followed the official request and carried the slogan of the talks: Eurasia is Eurasia for Eurasians.

    The five ill-intentioned companies have shut out Americans from the beginning.  After President Dewey saw this report.  Suddenly, a thousand grass and mud horses ran through my heart.

    The five families held a secret trial in Amsterdam, and most of the content was deliberately not kept secret.  Publicly speaking, the five countries also want to use this to jointly put pressure on the United States and force the United States' tentacles out of Eurasia.

    The reason why the Germans are enthusiastic about this matter is that, first, they want to completely default on their debts and at the same time eliminate the big threat of the United States once and for all.

    ??In Hannah¡¯s view, World War I and World War II in history.  Germany almost touched the skirt of the goddess of victory twice, but both times it failed because of the intervention of the United States.  Eurasia is for Eurasians. This slogan is to completely eliminate the possibility of Americans interfering in the political situation of Eurasia.

    The British are enthusiastic about this because they understand the United States' coveting and ambitions for British colonies. They like the slogan "Eurasia is Eurasia for Eurasians" more than the Germans, if possible.  The British even wanted to change the word Eurasia to "Old World" to "The Old World is the Old World of Old World people."

    China is enthusiastic about this matter, firstly because Japan is about to become a plaything in the hands of China, and also because it knows from Lin Han how much of a threat the Americans will pose to China in the future when their hands reach into Eurasia.  No matter what, Japan cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the United States, and no matter what, the Americans cannot be given the opportunity to extend their hands into the Western Pacific. This is China's bottom line.

    Only the Soviet Union has an ambiguous attitude on this matter.

      The thing that Hannah, Artoria and Lin Han are most afraid of seeing is the alliance between the United States and the Soviet Union.  It was precisely because of this concern that Lin Han persuaded Katyusha to let her return to China.  Otherwise, after the Holy Impact begins, Stalin, who is the country's "god envoy", will not be available, and it will be difficult for the rabbit to do unpredictable things under the instigation of the United States.

    In the last two months of 1945, the Soviet Union had a great international strategic situation, but there were also some headaches for them.

    The Soviet Union was "stretched" during the one-year war.

    They defeated Turkey and seized land within 50 kilometers of the east coast of the Dardania Strait, ensuring smooth access to the Mediterranean.  In addition, Afghanistan and Pakistan were acquired.

    But things were not going well for the Soviets in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

    Both countries have average economies, especially Afghanistan, which is almost barren. The country is mountainous and although there are some mineral resources, the transportation is extremely poor. For the Soviet Union, the ratio of input to output here is  , is completely negative.  What's terrible is that the folk customs here are tough.  The Soviet Union wanted to implement land reform here that they considered "very correct", but they encountered strong resistance from the locals.  After the Holy Impact began, this resistance became even more religious.  The situation in Pakistan is slightly better than in Afghanistan, but not much better.  All kinds of scattered resistance have never stopped.  Before abandoning Afghanistan, the British deliberately opened up local arms depots so that local tribal leaders could take arms at will.  After the war, various means were used to smuggle arms to the local area.

    The Soviet Red Army nominally opened a channel to enter the Indian Ocean, but in fact it paid a huge price to maintain the absolute security of this channel.  After the war ended in 1941, the Soviets continued to invest more and more in security, transportation, and administration here.  It really gave them the feeling of "eating a piece of stinky beef".

    The Soviet Union used "Stalin-style" brutality and relied on the Cheka's bloody methods to powerfully suppress the local resistance forces. The effect currently seems pretty good, but the headaches go beyond that.  The main problem is transportation, from the Indian Ocean coast to the Soviet Union.  It is thousands of kilometers long, and there are still parts of the railway left by the British in Pakistan, but Afghanistan is completely mountainous, and the problem of rebuilding the road alone is enough to make the Soviet Union vomit blood.

    Another problem is that even if the window to the Indian Ocean is opened, how will the Soviets send the built warships into the Indian Ocean.

    At the Amsterdam Conference, the British promised Stalin that if Stalin joined the war against the United States, Britain would agree to open the Suez Canal.  for the Soviet Red Navy to pass through.

    The British are actually not very kind at this point.  The problem of the Soviet Navy was the same as that of the Russian Navy in history. Its navy was divided by separate oceans into parts that were tens of thousands of kilometers apart and difficult to support each other - think about it, the Arctic Ocean, the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, the Pacific Ocean, plus a new  The Indian Ocean is thousands of miles apart from each other, and a navy must be placed in each place. What will the Soviet Red Navy be like?

    If the Soviet navy really enters the Indian Ocean, it will pose a certain threat to the United Kingdom.  But it will also disperse their power even more.  Once the Soviet Union does something evil, the fate of these scattered fleets will be like the Russo-Japanese War in history.  When the First and Second Pacific Fleets are destroyed, they will usually be defeated one by one.

    But Stalin was not stupid. He easily saw the trap in the British conditions.  While attending the Amsterdam Conference, the Soviet Union was also conducting secret negotiations with the United States.  The Soviet Union's request was to participate in the disposal of Japan after the war. In addition to the four northern islands, it also demanded the right to occupy most of Japan.  And the Soviet Union's contribution in this war.  But it was disproportionate to what it got - it just agreed to lease several northern islands to the United States for use in the war against Japan.  As for dispatching the Soviet Red Army to launch a landing operation in Japan, Stalin expressed no interest.

    How could President Dewey agree to Stalin's speculative mentality of taking advantage of others' dangers?  Although the U.S. Navy currently has an absolute numerical advantage over the Japanese Navy, Japan's main force is almost intact.  The war that follows.  The Americans themselves estimated that at least two million people would be killed or injured in the final defeat of Japan.

    Having barely defeated Japan with two million casualties, he wanted to give most of the spoils to the Soviet Union, which barely contributed any effort. President Dewey could not agree to such a request.

    The Soviets couldn't get what they wanted from the Americans. Stalin, who was betting on both sides, saw signs that China, Germany, Britain, and Japan were gradually joining forces. After weighing the pros and cons, he felt that he stood with China, Germany, Britain, and Japan on this matter.  This side had a better chance of winning, so it ended with its own hesitation. In the end, it even shook its head and said no to leasing the island to the United States.

    Stalin finally decided to choose Eurasia instead of joining forces with the United States. The most important reason was that he found that the Soviet Union's position on the map was precisely surrounded by these four countries.  If we join forces with the United States,The Soviet Union, which was surrounded by the four countries, was bound to be attacked by the four countries at the first opportunity.  Although the U.S. Navy is powerful, it is impossible for them to reach the shore.  Germany in the west was an opponent that Stalin was extremely afraid of.  China's little brother facing the southeast, New China, which is undergoing its second five-year plan, is already capable of producing tanks and cars.  In recent years, in order to gain China's support and increase pressure on the Soviet Union in the Far East, Germany has spared no effort in helping China's industrialization and sold everything.

    The latest intelligence obtained by Stalin is that the Germans have even transferred the entire technology of the Leopard tank and the latest jet fighter that had just been equipped with the army to China.  The latter is a high-tech technology that the Soviet Union itself has not yet mastered.  When thinking of the "close friendship" between China's "heroic spirits" and Germany's "heroic spirits", as well as Lin Han's huge influence on China's political situation, Stalin had to worry about the situation in which the Soviet Union faced a siege from China and Germany after he was "on the wrong team."  .

    Today¡¯s Soviet-German relations are actually a fight between two ends.  Germany is afraid that the "T34 Sea" that has appeared in history will crazily move westward and flood Germany.  And Stalin was afraid of the situation where China and Germany would join forces and join forces in Moscow.  Today's China is a big country with a population of more than 500 million, with endless sources of troops, and it has been squeezed into a rope by the Communist Party.  Stalin had a headache just thinking about going to war with such a country.

    Since the founding of the People¡¯s Republic of China in 1937, New China has been in existence for nearly nine years.  In these nine years, except for the impact of the one-year war, the pace of industrialization in New China has never stopped in the rest of the time.  This year, China announced its steel production.  It has already surpassed Japan and Italy, and this year, China's steel output has surpassed the split of Southern and Northern France, becoming the fifth largest steel power in the world after the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

    The Soviet Union also had close ties with New China. In order to win over China, the Soviet Union also sent some Soviet experts to help with industrialization in China - of course, Stalin's motivation in this matter was more out of helplessness and the need to collect Chinese intelligence.  from these intelligence lines.  Stalin was very aware of China's current industrial development status.

    Today's China has grown to the point where Stalin is very taboo.

    The negotiations that began on November 20, 1945, spent most of the time between Britain and Germany fighting for the Soviet Union.  During this process, China's opinions were also on the side of the British and German families.  China said that the Western Pacific belongs to the Western Pacific countries, and it is too dangerous for the United States, a giant with a navy of more than 5 million tons, to set its paws on Japan.

    Although China does not have a decent navy, the whole world knows about it.  During the One Year War, China's "god" Lin Han also secretly joined the German Navy.  Directly participated in the battle that knocked the British Navy off the altar.  Compared with the navy with the blessing of "gods" and the navy without the blessing of gods, they are two completely different fleets.  If we want to start a war with the United States in the North Pacific, we cannot avoid China.

    Another important issue discussed at this meeting was the issue of Taiwan Bend.

    Before Japan decided to go to war with the United States in 1942, Emperor Takahito visited China to seek China¡¯s support.  One of the conditions he offered at that time was to return Taiwan and the surrounding islands after 1945.

    The time has now come.  In Amsterdam, the issue of platform bends was also put on the table.

    On this issue, China and Japan have been conducting secret negotiations over the past two years.  At first, Japan pushed left and right, but with the recovery of the U.S. Navy, the Americans put increasing pressure on Japan in the Pacific. The Essex was launched like dumplings at the rate of one or even two ships a month.  - class aircraft carrier, Japan's top brass are becoming more and more panicked.

    Japan, which was in urgent need of seeking external allies, only then thought of China.

    During the "Three Gods Gathering", Arturia represented the United Kingdom and Hannah represented Germany. They had already made their attitude clear to Japan: to deal with the Americans, the power of all countries in Eurasia must be gathered, and China is an indispensable part.  It would be extremely stupid to force China to go to the United States because of the Taiwan issue.

    Regarding the issue of Taiwan, the British are of course the troublemakers who want Taiwan to be occupied by Japan, so as to make China and Japan permanently hostile.  But Artoria is on China's side on this issue - this is the result of private transactions between her, Lin Han and the Chinese side.

    Using the Taiwan issue in exchange for China not ¡°exporting revolution¡± to South Asia.  Arturia is very aware of the current situation in China, and she also understands that her "father" Lin Han is just a nationalist and not a true revolutionary.  She is very aware of Lin Han's influence on the politics of New China. As long as she can persuade him, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle.

    Times are moving forward, and the British colonial system in India will definitely collapse. Arturia knows this very well.  Collapse is inevitable, but what matters is how it collapses.  For Britain, the system naturally collapsedThe later the better.

    To achieve this goal, the UK needs external support.  Germany often sides with Britain on this issue. Although China opposes Britain's global colonial system on this issue, Artoria is very clear about her father's attitude on this matter.

    Lin Han is a big variable.  She only needs Lin Han to "suggest" to the Chinese side on this issue that he or she should postpone the issue for ten or twenty years and not "stir up troubles" in South Asia.

    Arturia¡¯s moving plan is a long and huge one that will take ten to twenty years to complete.  In order to complete this plan, the British sided with China on the Taiwan issue precisely to make political deals in exchange for Chinese guarantees.

    This behind-the-scenes deal was completed before the Amsterdam meeting.

    As for Japan, under the pressure of the four countries, the Japanese government finally made concessions in Amsterdam.  It promised to return the Taiwan Islands to China before June 1945.

    Regarding the Taiwan Bend issue, the four countries plus Japan finally signed an agreement in Amsterdam.  The date of Taiwan's return was determined with the endorsement of the four countries.

    After the agreement was signed, the Big Four and Japanese Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi stood to take photos.  The five people faced the reporter's camera and smiled hypocritically together.

    At that time, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi¡¯s idea was: after winning the war with the United States, the worst possible outcome would be to continue cheating.

    British Prime Minister Attlee had a similar idea: after winning the war with the Americans, Britain changed its position on this issue and favored Japan.  Credit is this thing?  Anyway, the head of state Hitler next to me had already cheated and pushed the lower limit once on the Czech issue in 1939

    ¡°As for the Soviet Union, which ostensibly sided with China on this issue, Stalin¡¯s idea was to support China in words but inaction in actions, and continue to worsen the relationship between Japan and China.

    In this matter, these three countries actually do not really want Taiwan to return to China.

    At that time, Chairman Li Runshi, the Chinese leader who came to Western Europe for the first time, had this idea: After winning the war with the United States, Japan would soon have a revolution. By then, Japan would be turbulent both at home and abroad.  By then, China will get more than just Taiwan.

    Everyone in front of the camera is smiling.

    The scene of these five giants standing together and smiling falsely at the camera lens was captured by the camera and became the epitome of this era.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
