Chapter 822 War and Peace (The Book Has Been Released, Please Subscribe)

"Ludwig, take a look at this."

In a luxurious suite in the White Crane Hotel in Geneva, Switzerland, Mrs. Kollontai, who was old but still dressed very fashionably, handed a stack of photos to the Imperial Marshal Hersman who was visiting in plain clothes.

Hersman took the photo and looked at it. There were two old men hugging each other or holding hands. Hersman recognized one of them at a glance. It was clearly Comrade Stalin, the great leader of the Soviet Union. The other one was an Oriental, with a bald head, a small mustache, inverted eyebrows and small eyes, and a pair of round glasses with black wooden frames.

"Is this Japanese Matsuoka Yosuke?" Hersman had seen Matsuoka before, but that was a long time ago and he could not remember his appearance clearly.

"Yes, he is the former Japanese Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yosuke, and he was the one who facilitated the "Japan-Soviet Neutrality Treaty." Mrs. Kollontai replied with a smile, "This time he visited Moscow as a special envoy of Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, with the purpose of seeking a decent peace... It is peace between Japan and the United States and the Soviet Union, not including Germany!"

"But this is impossible," Hersman smiled and shook his head, "Roosevelt will not let Japan go. This is determined by the national conditions of the United States. Unless the United States loses millions of people in the war against Japan, the Americans will never forgive Japan, let alone give up half of the Pacific Ocean!"

Although most of the American financial elites agree with the "Europe First" argument, they know that they must first deal with Germany, the enemy that can compete with the United States for white world hegemony. But those American white**s who think they are superior don't think so. In their eyes, Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, occupation of Hawaii, bombing of the West Coast, and destruction of the Panama Canal are no different from black brothers sleeping with their wives. They are all violations of heaven.

In their view, the war in Europe was a fight between a group of white people. It was a matter for white people in Europe. Whether it was the hegemony of Britain or Germany, it had little to do with the United States.

If Britain (local) and Germany continued to fight, the American financial elites could still guide public opinion. But now the battle for hegemony in Europe has been decided. It is obvious that the United States can no longer intervene in Europe. What is the point of fighting? The United States should of course make peace with Germany as soon as possible. Then go to Japan to get back the place - the white master was beaten so badly by the yellow Japanese, it was really embarrassing, how could he not retaliate?

So now the public opinion in the United States is that Japan cannot be spared. If Roosevelt dared to negotiate peace with Japan and turn around to fight Germany, then his presidency would be over and he would be impeached.

But then again, the situation in Germany is similar to that in the United States. The ruling Nazi Party is largely racist, and determines closeness based on Aryan blood. Today, the mainstream of American society is still white, among which Americans with strong Germanic blood such as German, British and Dutch account for a large proportion.

Therefore, the German people were not very interested in continuing to fight with their "American brothers". According to the intelligence obtained by Hersman, Hitler himself had secretly met with Kennedy, the US ambassador to Switzerland, and they had a good chat - Kennedy was Irish, because Ireland was independent from Britain with the support of Germany, so the Irish Americans were also a little pro-German.

In addition, the two things of US aid to the Soviet Union and German aid to Japan were actually the United States and Germany hurting each other. The Red Army with US aid could kill more German soldiers, and the Japanese with German aid could kill more American soldiers. This exchange was not a good thing for the Nazi Party, which was essentially a workers' party... The current Nazis still needed German workers and farmers who served in the war to vote for them!

If it weren't for the obstruction of Roosevelt and Hersman, two warmongers, it is estimated that a peace treaty of "Germany sells Japan and the United States sells the Soviet Union" would have been reached now!

However, Hersman, the warmongerer, did not see the possibility of stepping down for the time being, but Roosevelt's presidency was not long.

"Madam," Hersman returned the photos to Mrs. Kollontai, and then said with a smile, "I didn't receive these photos, and I hope you will keep them confidential. Because the Japanese issue is the biggest obstacle on our road to peace with the United States. The other two major obstacles are probably me and President Roosevelt, because we don't want to miss the opportunity to attack each other's country.

But President Roosevelt is an elderly leader in poor health, and his presidency is less than 2 years away. I believe he will not have a fourth term as president, and the person who becomes the president of the United States in 1945 must be a politician who is willing to make peace with Germany. So it is better not to show these photos to Chancellor Hitler for the time being."

Hearing that Roosevelt only had 2 years left in his term, Mrs. Kollontai's face changed slightly. Because he knew that the domestic public opinion in the United States had begun to change, and everyone believed that the United States should not participate in the European war... With Mrs. Kollontai's understanding of the United States (she had lived in the United States for many years), this matter did not need to wait until Roosevelt stepped down, as long as it was the primary elections of the two parties, it might be bad!

By then, the bigwigs of the two parties and members of Congress (Congress is also elected at about the same time) will have to come out and express their views on the European war! If the war in Europe goes on like this, politicians running for election will definitely criticize it. By then, everyone will be against going to war with Germany, and even the Lend-Lease Act might be repealed. How could Roosevelt, a lame president, help the Soviet Union?

"Madam," Hessman said with some seriousness, "you must know more about the internal affairs of the United States than I do. I don't want the Soviet Union and Germany to be divided into life-and-death battles. If we can reach a treaty to end the war in 1943, , it must be the most beneficial to the Soviet Union and Germany. If the pro-German faction in the United States comes to power, then... my friend Olga will most likely become the Empress of Russia! You know, this empress is in the United States! Very popular.”

There are many White Russians in the United States now, and there are also many rich and wealthy men who bought titles from the Queen and became Russian royalists! Therefore, during the 1944 U.S. election, some people may make the issue of restoring Tsarist Russia a theme.

…

"Roosevelt asked what do we need?"

In Moscow, inside the Kremlin, the fatherly leader of the Soviet people smoked his pipe and said to the members of the Political Bureau: "What we need most is a decent peace... Comrades, what do you think?"

Stalin was obviously not dazzled by the American victory, and the offensive and defensive positions in the Pacific Theater would indeed change hands.

But what good did this do to the Soviet Union? No matter how powerful the Americans were, they could never capture Tokyo in 1943. Germany is very likely to occupy Leningrad and Moscow!

Considering that the Germans still have a "legal queen" for all Russia, once Leningrad and Moscow fall, the Soviet Union will be destroyed.

Moreover, in the telegram, Mrs. Kollontai mentioned the "Virtue Peace" and the inevitable presidential and congressional elections in the United States - Comrade Stalin almost hated this kind of bourgeois democracy that changed the president for nothing! It would be great to let Roosevelt cut the D, why do we need to replace him? And even if someone needs to be replaced, everyone must listen to Roosevelt's opinion and not replace the kind of bad guy who wants to engage in appeasement with Germany.

However, it would be difficult for the Soviet Union to interfere in the U.S. election. Stalin now had no choice but to find a way to end this unfortunate war before Roosevelt went home to retire.

"Comrade General Secretary, I fully support your wise decision." Khrushchev was the first to speak. He said with a very sad expression, "After the fall of the British mainland, we will have to face a Germany that can dominate Europe for a long time. Empire... Since it is impossible to destroy the enemy, we can only turn to other directions, such as India. "

Khrushchev's speech seemed to be the starting gun, and all political bureau members and alternate members present at the meeting expressed their stance.

Of course they all firmly support Comrade Stalin!

Stalin nodded, and then turned his attention to Marshal Pavlov and Marshal Shaposhnikov who were attending the meeting. The two of them were attending the meeting and were not qualified to speak actively. They could only wait for Stalin's inquiry.

And Stalin's eyes were asking questions - decent peace cannot be achieved by talking, it must be fought!

On the northern front, the Soviet army must lift the long siege of Leningrad - the city has been besieged for more than half a year, and the reserves of supplies will be exhausted. If they do not lift the siege, they are afraid that all the Soviets with Leningrad registered residence will rebel and surrender to the enemy.

In the center, the Red Army's plan was to hold East Belarus and Warsaw, ensure the security of Moscow, and at the same time use Warsaw as a condition for peace.

On the southern front, the Dnieper River defense line cannot be lost. The Dnieper River defense line protects Ukraine on the left bank. Once it is breached, the Soviet Union may lose the important Donetsk heavy industrial zone.

"Comrade General Secretary," Pavlov said, "the People's Commissariat of Defense and the Red Army General Staff agree that it is possible for the German army to maintain the Leningrad encirclement and at the same time advance towards Moscow!"

"The Germans intend to restore the Romanov dynasty?" Stalin asked uncertainly.

"It may also be to obtain the maximum bargaining chip at the negotiating table!" said Marshal Shaposhnikov, Chief of the General Staff. "If we lose Leningrad and Moscow at the same time, there will be a terrible civil war and division in the Soviet Union..."

Stalin waved his hand and interrupted Shalashnikov, who was careful with his words. He smiled bitterly: "No, it's not civil war and division, but we are completely finished! Moscow will be like Paris in March 1815..."

March 1, 1815 was the moment when Napoleon, who had escaped from Elba Island, landed on French soil. At that time, public opinion in Paris was overwhelmingly against the emperor, just as people in Moscow are now against the Russian Empress Olga.

But when Napoleon came to Paris as a victor, he had transformed from the "Devil of Corsica" and the "man-eating monster" into His Majesty the Emperor loved by the people of Paris!
