"Of course we want to meet," Roosevelt said. "After all, France still has a powerful fleet and a large number of overseas colonies. Even if the mainland falls, they can continue to fight, and the United States must give them hope of fighting." ...Wars are waged by hope!"

"And what about the post-war world arrangements?" Harry Hopkins asked.

Roosevelt seemed to have thought about this question for a long time, and now he just thought about it for a while, and then slowly said:

"Although the current situation is unfavorable to the United States, the United States should still shoulder its own responsibility and put forward its own opinions on the arrangement of the post-war world... First, the United States, Britain, and France should publicly declare that they will not pursue territorial or other expansion; Secondly, the United States, Britain, and France do not recognize the territorial changes caused by fascism through aggression, and respect the right of the people of all countries to choose their form of government; third, they support the restoration of the sovereignty of the peoples of all countries deprived of violence; Equal treatment of raw materials to promote the most comprehensive economic cooperation among all countries; fifth, rebuilding peace after the destruction of fascist tyranny; sixth, freedom of navigation on the high seas; seventh, all countries must renounce force and reduce armaments; eighth, dismantle aggressive countries armed."

"Mr. President, Britain and France will never agree to your third opinion, because Britain and France have also used violence to deprive the people of many countries of their sovereignty." Harry Hopkins reminded in a low voice: "In addition , the Soviet Union will definitely join our camp, then do we no longer recognize the territories acquired by China, Germany and Poland in the anti-Soviet war? And what position should we take towards the Russian Empire? Besides, Italy is also fascist The country has also acquired African territory through aggression, are we going to..."

Facing a lot of questions from Harry Hopkins, Roosevelt waved his hand impatiently. "Harry, the opinions we put forward represent the position of the United States on the above-mentioned issues, but for the sake of the overall situation of the world's anti-fascist cause, the United States is not incapable of compromise! You can negotiate with Britain and France on the basis of these 8 points, the first of which is Fourth, the sixth article cannot be compromised, and the rest can be modified as appropriate.” At this point, he emphasized: “It is a modification as appropriate, not a complete abandonment! Otherwise, what is the difference between us and Germany and China?”

……

"Fuwen, Admiral Nagata has arrived." Natalie pushed the door and walked into the study.

Luo Yaoguo put down the documents in his hands, stood up and straightened his military uniform, and said to Natalie, "Did Yongtian Tieshan come here alone?"

Natalie helped him tidy up the documents, paper and pens spread out on the table, and replied: "There are also Japanese ambassador Shigemitsu Aoi, representative of the Japanese Navy Takiro Onishi, and Nagata Isa, the adopted daughter of Nagata Tieshan." At the last name of the Japanese female spy, she couldn't help but glance at Luo Yaoguo.

Luo Yaoguo didn't pay attention at all, just smiled lightly and walked out. "Go, let's meet our Japanese friends, this world war... still needs these cannon fodder!" There was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was about to do a very interesting prank.Natalie looked at his back, frowned slightly, sighed quietly, and said in an inaudible voice: "I'm really afraid that the world will not be chaotic..."

The two of them walked along the corridor of the French Club all the way to the living room on the first floor, one behind the other.The two went down the stairs, walked through a long corridor, and came to the entrance of the living room. There were two guards in woolen military uniforms standing at the entrance. When they saw Luo Yaoguo and Natalie approaching, they both snapped. stand at attention.Natalie stepped forward and opened the door, and Luo Yaoguo swaggered in. As soon as he entered, he saw five or six people sitting in a spacious and bright hall.A man in a khaki woolen uniform is the visiting Japanese Army Minister Nagata Tieshan, who is talking and laughing with him is Zhou Fohai, the Chinese ambassador to Japan.

On the right side of Nagata is Nagata Isa, a mixed-race beauty with a variety of styles. Although she is no longer a cardamom youth, she has a little more charm of a young woman.Today, this mixed-race beauty wore a French court dress with her entire shoulders exposed, very much like Queen Anastasia.Miss Yisha's big light blue eyes were watching the door all the time, when she saw Luo Yaoguo coming in, she was the first to stand up, and went forward enthusiastically.Walking in front of Luo Yaoguo, he raised his skirt with both hands, bowed slightly, and performed European court etiquette.

"Your Excellency Marshal, I'm very glad to see you here." He stretched out a slender hand as he spoke.

Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, took that jade hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it lightly.Afterwards, he just nodded at Yisha, strode up to Nagata Tieshan, and reached out to shake hands with the Japanese general.

"Mr. Nagata, your country's United Fleet fought a beautiful battle in Hawaii that is worthy of being recorded in history! I really admire it." He looked at the side, who was wearing a dark blue military uniform, and had a Zhang Guozi face. Rear Admiral of the Japanese Navy, asked: "Is this the well-known Rear Admiral Jiro Nishitaki, Deputy Chief of the Military Command Department of your country?"

Yongtian Tieshan was taken aback when he heard the words. He never expected that the other party would recognize Takiro Onishi at a glance. He didn't remember any intersection between Luo Yaoguo and the Japanese Navy.Could it be that the Chinese side has long regarded the Japanese navy as an imaginary enemy in research?But the thought was only fleeting.He bowed slightly to Luo Yaoguo, and said with a smile: "This is indeed our country's Navy Vice Chief Jiro Nishiki." Then he introduced Luo Yaoguo to Jiro Onishiki in Japanese.

As soon as everyone was seated, Major General Onishi Takijiro got straight to the point before they had time to chatter. "Your Excellency Marshal, it is a critical moment in the Pacific War, and I believe you already know it very well."

Onishi speaks English with a London accent fluently, and Luo Yaoguo knows that the Etajima Naval Academy in Japan uses English for teaching.So he switched to American English and asked, "After capturing Hawaii, where is your country planning to attack next? Will it threaten further west coast of the United States?"

Daxi raised his eyes to look at Luo Yaoguo, and thought to himself: "This Marshal of China is really cunning. I wanted to talk to him about aid, but he changed the topic to the direction of attack."

Seeing Onishi's gloomy face, Nagata Tieshan smiled slightly: "Where to attack next depends on the logistics and supply situation. If the supplies are sufficient and there is no problem with transportation, why not hit the mainland of the United States in one go?" He gave Daxi another wink.

Daxi nodded hurriedly, and shouted: "Yes! If the material transportation capacity is sufficient, now is the best time to attack the mainland of the United States! But..." At this point, he sighed deeply and began to cry poorly. "Now the fuel reserves of the United Fleet have bottomed out, and even the fuel for the return flight from Hawaii can hardly be obtained. What's the point of attacking! In addition, Japan's aircraft technology is too backward, and the performance of the Type 96 is too outdated. The new fighter jets It got stuck on the engine again. If technical support cannot be obtained as soon as possible, the United Fleet will probably be defeated in the next battle. Besides, Japan’s shipbuilding capabilities are not enough, despite the fact that there are now 8 aircraft carriers controlling the sea in the Pacific Ocean. However, if the follow-up ship construction cannot keep up, these motherships will soon be completely consumed by the continuous construction of aircraft carriers by the United States..."

Hearing Daxi's words, Luo Yaoguo also sneered in his heart. These Japanese devils have no steel, no fuel, no advanced technology, and insufficient shipbuilding capabilities...basically nothing, yet they dare to poke a hornet's nest in the United States!It is obvious that they want to play the trick of empty-handed white wolves, and want to use the resources of China and Germany to conquer their own world.

"So how much material does Japan need to realize its plan to attack the continental United States?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly picked up the topic of Onishi Takijiro, Luo Yaoguo followed the voice, and it turned out to be Zhou Fohai, the big traitor in history!

The big traitor Zhou didn't seem to see Luo Yaoguo's cold eyes, and he was still speaking generously. "As far as I know, the United States has always defended the country with its navy. Their army is very weak, and the training is insufficient and the equipment is poor...Although the United States is the largest industrial country in the world, it is necessary to convert civilian industries into military use and reproduce them. It is not a matter of one day to equip the troops with weapons. Moreover, the troops still need to be recruited, organized, and trained. It may not be possible to form combat effectiveness within three to five months. And this period of time is the best time to land on the west coast of the United States and strike the mainland of the United States And weakening the United States to the greatest extent, attacking the United States is the best time for our East Asian yellow race to defeat the European and American white race and win this world war!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Fohai peeked at Luo Yaoguo again out of the corner of his eye. Seeing his calm face, he seemed to be nodding slightly, so he let out a sigh of relief, and continued, "As long as the Japanese side can seize this good opportunity, it will serve the people of East Asia." What is there to worry about in terms of materials and technology? As long as China and Japan reach an agreement on some suspenseful issues and sign an alliance, China will naturally fulfill its obligations as an ally."

Chapter 0811 Hero Conference ([-]) Utilization Value

On the night of November 11th, Shanghai French Club Garden.

Luo Yaoguo is drinking tea and "chatting" with Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai who came from Wuhan.If there is anyone in China who is pro-Japanese, it should be these two.Knowing the crimes committed by the two of them in history, Luo Yaoguo always treated them differently and tried every means to suppress them.Otherwise, with Wang Jingwei's qualifications and talents, he should be the head of the executive branch, and Zhou Fohai is enough to be a minister.

To be honest, in this time and space, it is a bit unfair for these two people to be regarded as "traitors" for no reason.Luo Yaoguo secretly ordered the Military Intelligence Bureau to closely monitor it!After several years of monitoring, Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai did not find any behavior of betraying the country and surrendering to the enemy.In fact, after the September 9.18th War, the Japanese basically stopped wooing political figures from various factions in China.Because in the face of China's strong military and economic strength, relying on a little trick will not have any effect at all, it is just a waste of money.

Of course, Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai have always been relatively friendly towards Japan.But the starting point is completely different from the history.In this time and space, Wang Jingwei stayed away from the throne left by Sun Yat-sen early in the morning. Even with the help of the Japanese, it is impossible to bring down Hu Hanmin and Luo's uncle and nephew.Now these two people, especially Wang Jingwei's pro-Japanese, just want to regard Japan as China's assistant in ruling the Eastern world, not as an opponent... But today, Wang Jingwei came from Wuhan, just to lobby Luo Yaoguo to support Japan's official joining of the "Iron Alliance" .

"...According to the information held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the leaders of the United States, Britain and France are currently preparing to hold a leaders' meeting, the purpose of which is to coordinate their respective positions in the 'anti-fascist war'. Against us China, as well as wars against Germany and Japan! Hey, look, we have always wanted to coexist peacefully with the United States, but they regard us as fascists, and we want to get rid of them quickly! Facing this kind of country, we Apart from uniting with Germany and Japan, is there any way out? Are we waiting to be defeated by them one by one?"

"The meeting of the leaders of the three countries? Where did the news come from? When will it be held? Where will it be?" Luo Yaoguo suddenly interrupted Wang Jingwei's words and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Fuwen, this news is unmistakable. It has been spread in the circle of diplomats in Washington for a long time. During this period of time, the American Harry Hopkins is flying back and forth on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and he is doing this. It seems that the United States, Britain, and France are planning to adopt a "charter" after this meeting, oh, it seems that there are rumors that it is called the "Atlantic Charter"! I heard that the United States, Britain, and France will not recognize that we and Germany have entered into a war of aggression The acquired territories, including Eastern Siberia and eastern Central Asia, are not recognized by China! Supplementary text, look, are the three countries of Britain, the United States and France deceiving people too much! Don’t even look at your own situation , dare to point fingers at us like this..."

Luo Yaoguo murmured to himself in a low voice: "Oh! It's "Atlantic Charter". Hehe, I didn't expect this thing to come out. It's really interesting..." He turned to look at Wang Jingwei who looked resentful. "Brother Zhaoming, if there is such a "Atlantic Charter", what will Japan think? Is it possible for Nagata Tieshan to use this opportunity to drive out those who advocate compromise with Britain and the United States from the political arena, so as to firmly control Japan's military and political power? ? And can we provide him with some assistance?"

Wang Jingwei was taken aback when he heard the words, shook his head and smiled wryly: "This... To be honest, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has never thought about it, nor has it studied it. But I know that maintaining unclear relations with foreign governments is very taboo in the Japanese political circle. If you fail, you will be regarded as a national thief and be punished by the heavens."

"Tianzhu?" Luo Yaoguo shook his head slightly, with a smile on his face, as if he had thought of something, he pondered for a while: "Brother Zhaoming, I will find other channels to carry out this matter. The focus of work is to prepare for the 'Shanghai Conference'. How many leaders of countries have accepted the invitation?"

Wang Jingwei thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Now the Empress of Russia, Marshal Goering of Germany, and Japan's Nagata Tieshan have all accepted the invitation. Among them, General Nagata Tieshan has already arrived in Shanghai, and Marshal Goering has to deal with Some military affairs, so the departure will be a few days late, and the Russian Empress will leave for Shanghai immediately after completing her visit to the Balkans and Germany, but the Italian side has not yet responded to us.”

Luo Yaoguo picked up the teacup and took a sip, but his eyebrows frowned slightly. Yongtian Tieshan had already met, and the Russian Empress Anastasia would definitely come... The number one fat man in Germany said If you want to come, there should be no problem.What's up with just the Italians?Could it be that Mussolini was hotheaded and ready to join the 'Anti-Fascist League'?Isn't this 'fascism' invented by him?

"Fuwen, we don't need to worry about Italy. Hitler will naturally have a way to convince his old friend." Wang Jingwei reminded. "The most important thing for us now is to finalize the alliance with Japan. In addition... it is best to bring the Russian Empire into the Iron and Steel Alliance." Speaking of this, Minister Wang looked at Luo Yaoguo with a very strange look.

"Uh! Let's put aside the Russian matter." Luo Yaoguo glared at Wang Jingwei, and said in his heart, "Anas, this woman's bed is very clear about state affairs! Now Russia is waiting to be done, Anas said. Nothing will agree to join the war at this time, the lesson of her father Nicholas II is right in front of you!"

Seeing Luo Yaoguo's expression, Wang Jingwei knew that he had made a suggestion that should not be made, so he quickly gave Zhou Fohai a wink.Zhou Fohai immediately took out a document from his purse, handed it to Luo Yaoguo, and said with a smile, "Assistant Marshal, this is the summary of the negotiations between the humble official and the Japanese side, please have a look."

"How's the negotiation going?" Luo Yaoguo took the negotiation minutes and flipped through a few pages. Suddenly, he seemed to see something, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face. "What? Japan agreed to exchange the territory of the Far East for the Philippines!"

Zhou Fohai said with a look of color on his face: "Exactly, this is a secret agreement that I finally reached after talking with General Nagata Tieshan for two days. Of course, this secret agreement cannot be written in the agreement, it can only be used as a private agreement between the two parties. Agreed. After China takes over the trusteeship of the Philippines, it will hand over the trusteeship of the entire Philippine archipelago except for Palawan Island, the Kalamian Islands, and the Babuyan Islands to Japan. At the same time, Japan will hand over the coastal areas of the Far East to China, and at the same time Relinquish claims to sovereignty over Taiwan, Penghu and their affiliated islands."

"Did you negotiate with the Japanese?" Luo Yaoguo asked.

"The thing is like this." Zhou Fohai smiled and explained: "Didn't we reach an agreement with the United States to temporarily take over the trusteeship of the Philippines from the United States on the condition of helping the US troops and American nationals evacuate and ensuring the process of Philippine independence?"

Luo Yaoguo nodded. This matter is most likely a conspiracy by the United States to divide the relationship between China and Japan, leaving the Philippines, which cannot be defended at all, to China, and making Japan's hard work in vain... But after China agreed to "manage" the Philippines , but formulated a three-point method for the Philippines.Incorporate some important islands, including Palawan Island, into China, and divide the remaining parts with Japan in half to appease Japan's emotions.Of course, negotiations in this regard are still in the stage of behind-the-scenes operations, and no treaty has been signed between China and Japan.

"Auxiliary Commander, for China, after obtaining the Far East Coast, no one can threaten the safety of the Northeast. Moreover, the Far East and Northeast have become one again, and all communication lines have been opened up. The region is also very beneficial. For Japan, it is also beneficial and harmless to give up the tasteless Far East coastal area in exchange for the Philippines, a springboard for going south to Lanyin and Australia. After they give up the Far East, they can basically withdraw from the Asian continent. All of our strength can be used to go south, which is also very beneficial to future wars with Britain and the United States.”

Speaking of this, Zhou Fohai paused for a moment, and whispered: "It's just that there is still a force in Japan who doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and can't forget the so-called 'mainland dream' for a long time, and there are also a group of hot-headed young officers in the Japanese army. Need to be appeased. Therefore, when the final treaty with Japan is signed, Nagata should have a better step. The treaty should not say that Luzon Island will be exchanged for the Far East Coastal Area, but the Philippines will be exchanged for the Far East Coastal Area, and Japan will give up its relationship with Taiwan. , Penghu Islands and its affiliated islands claiming sovereignty.”

"I understand." Luo Yaoguo sneered, "This southern Philippines was originally intended to be used to appease Japan, so writing it like this will not hurt us, and it can also give Nagata a step up. It's a good idea, so let's do it. But... this Yongtian Tieshan might not be so easy to talk to, right?"

"Not necessarily." Zhou Fohai shook his head and said with a smile: "The agreement reached by the humble staff and Yongtian Tieshan is only a preliminary agreement, and there are still some important negotiations because it involves military matters. General Yongtian and the assistant commander you Negotiated in person. Including military assistance, technical assistance, and the direction of the Japanese army’s next offensive, all can be discussed.”

"Haha... What a little Japan! You really have the consciousness to be cannon fodder." Luo Yaoguo couldn't help laughing, "However, Japan's cannon fodder is still very useful, as long as we can fight a few more battles like the Hawaiian naval battle, We will win this World War II! The shitty charter of the United States and Britain will not win the war for them, and in the end we must rely on our real ability on the battlefield to speak."

……

"Your Excellency, General! The Far East was bought with my [-] heroic spirits of the Japanese Imperial Army. It must not be given to the Chinese!"

Several officers of the army's young men who followed Nagata Tieshan to visit China were standing in front of the Minister of the Army at this moment, and they shouted loudly with all their dantian spirit.

Yongtian Tieshan put down the official document in his hand, raised his head, and stared at these young officers with half-closed eyes. After a long while, he sighed leisurely, and said in a low voice to one of the Japanese lieutenant officers who had a big shaved head: "Imai Lieutenant Commander, do you really think so? I clearly remember that in the report submitted by your Chinese class, you were extremely pessimistic about the defense of the Far East, thinking that once the Chinese army attacked, the Far East Army would definitely not be able to last for half a month, right?"

This Imai is Takeo Imai, the current head of the China Division of the Army Staff Department. After hearing Nagata's question, he just lowered his head slightly and replied blankly: "The situation referred to in that report is that the Empire is at war with China, and Not now..."

"What's the matter now?" Nagata glanced sharply at the several army officers in front of him.He snorted coldly: "You don't really think that Japan and China are unbreakable allies, do you?"

"Of course not!" A major general who looked a little domineering stepped forward and replied loudly. "Your Excellency! China is only using Japan to weaken the United States and contain the United States, so as to prevent the United States from fully supporting Britain and France. Once China and Germany defeat Britain and France, Japan is likely to become an abandoned child!" The major general gritted his teeth, "but failed in Britain and France Before, China did not dare to break face with the empire. Therefore, not only does the empire not have to give up the Far East, but it should also take this opportunity to capture Vladivostok, eliminate the Communist Army in the Far East, and seize all the land south of the Amur River!"
