As for Japan's germ warfare, in the eyes of Germany, it is just a child's game. If Japan and Germany start a dirty war, Lin Wei has no doubt that as long as Germany throws its stockpile of poison gas bombs into Japan, the results will be achieved. It will definitely not be smaller than the US strategic bombing plus atomic bomb. The result can only be that Japan will be destroyed. The Battle of Nomenkan proved that Lin Wei has always imagined that Japan's army is not comparable to Europe at all. If Japan's land is in Europe, Poland will be his role model.
However, Crawford had some distrust of this kind of weapon that had not been tested in war. Feeling the mood of his subordinates, Lin Wei said seriously, "When you feel the power of this kind of bomb in war, you will definitely be surprised. !" When Lin Wei said this, he had already thought of the fate of this inhumane weapon, which was nothing more than being banned from use. But this must have happened after the war.
During this year, apart from concentrating on expanding his favor with the SS, Lin Wei was not prepared to intervene in the British Campaign. All of this is for the war that will break out next year. In Lin Wei's eyes, the United States poses a greater long-term threat than the Soviet Union, but the United States is far away, and the Soviet Union is already close to Germany. It is possible for Germany and the United States to avoid war if they play their cards right. However, war with the Soviet Union was almost inevitable. Germany could not tolerate the Soviet Union's expansion ambitions, and the Soviet Union also took strict precautions against Germany. The Soviet-German war will come sooner or later, but the target of the war will definitely be Germany. The longer the time goes by, the greater the Soviet Union's threat to Germany.
After Crawford left, Lin Wei and the others no longer had any conversation. The anxious state of the British side was obviously not good news. The German armored forces across Europe were held back by the most primitive tactic in the world, which was the sea of people. tactics. Although it is not uncommon in the history of war to defeat more with less, in most cases, generals are more comfortable commanding wars with more to fight less.
"The situation is not too bad!" Goering said after a long silence, "Although our army is still suppressed in the southeast of England, it is still in an offensive posture. You must know that the initiative in the war lies with In our hands, if possible, we can mobilize the army to land again. Aren't the French and Italian armies already ready? We can land from the other side, the city of Exeter in southwest England, as long as the success of the landing can be guaranteed , we can encircle Southampton in the middle, so that the British defense line will collapse and we can establish victory."
"Even so, it's not easy to open up a new landing site, and we might suffer a lot of losses!" Lin Wei was quite hesitant.
At this time, Goebbels saw Linwei's indecision and said in a reproachful tone, "Lampard, even if the loss is huge, the dead are still French and Italians, although we are now in a de facto alliance. . But don’t you think Europe is crowded with so many military powers? As long as we don’t actively harm the French, it would be good to weaken them at the critical moment!”
"We don't want colonies, we want territory! Germany's future expansion power will be in the east. As for those colonies, let France and Italy fight for them!" Hess sneered, "It's better to give Mussolini some hints. It is best for Germany to keep the two countries in a different state!"
"This kind of thing cannot be done too obviously. After all, Britain's balance of power policy has failed, so we took the opportunity to successfully drive a wedge between Britain and France!" Goebbels said. The two people talked more and more passionately. They faced politicians every day and had become natural conspirators. Listening to the incredible and extremely vicious attentions from the two people, Lin Wei and Golin looked at each other and felt their scalps go numb.
However, under the influence of the conspiracy theories of Goebbels and Hess, Linwei and Goering felt that at least it was not so boring. Hearing the heated discussion between Hess and Lin Wei, they finally joined in. Unknown to Marshal Pétain and Mussolini, who were urgently allocating supplies and preparing to land in the UK, they learned that the four giants of the German National Socialist Party Discuss how to drive a wedge between them and what they will think.
The four of them discussed it until nine o'clock in the evening, and Linda had been sent to the bedroom by Lin Wei. Lin Wei only asked a few servants to stay, and the rest were ordered to rest. Ribbentrop finally came back at this time. Looking at Ribbentrop's haggard appearance, Lin Wei almost thought that the foreign minister had gone to England to become a war correspondent.
"Hey, have you used this short period of time to experience the career of a war correspondent?" Lin Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Dear Minister of Foreign Affairs, if your son sees you like this, I think he will be very disappointed. Maybe I will stay in the SS forever and never go back!"
"Ahem, cough, cough... Don't be ridiculous!" Ribbentrop said in embarrassment, obviously aware of his current appearance; "As expected, Molotov's main purpose is to come to our Vienna to mediate, but there is really no such thing. Thinking that the Soviets are so well-informed, Lampard, your Gestapo should pay attention!"
"Okay, let's talk about the situation!" Lin Wei didn't want to get too entangled in this kind of intelligence issue. This time Lin Wei didn't block the information at all. Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, it also paralyzed the Soviet Union and made them think that it was his. Intelligence personnel remain safe.
After Molotov came to Berlin, a grand banquet was held for him at the Soviet Embassy on Unter den Linden. Upon learning of Molotov's arrival, Ribbentrop quickly arrived at the Russian Embassy. After a simple polite exchange, the first round of confrontation between the two began. Molotov demanded that Germany withdraw its troops from Finland. Ribbentrop denied that the Germans had occupied Finland. The German army simply moved through Finland to Norway. But he wanted to know whether Russia intended to go to war with Finland.
Ribbentrop said resolutely, "There must be no war in the Baltic Sea. This will make the relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union extremely tense." It was a threat, he added a minute later, and the tension could have unforeseen consequences. Germany wanted to know what else the Soviet Union wanted in Finland. While Molotov replied that it wanted "a solution like that in the Romanian province of Bessarabia," Ribbentrop understood that this meant open annexation.
"What a greedy Soviet people!" After hearing Ribbentrop's words, Lin Wei and the four of them looked at each other, and they could see that the people around them had the same view as themselves. If the Soviet Union annexed Finland, it would mean handing over to Norway, which is now controlled by Germany, and even the entire Scandinavian Peninsula would be unstable. Sweden, Germany's largest iron ore supplier, will be under the threat of the Soviet Union. Once the war starts, it will definitely affect the operation of the German war machine. Germany cannot give in on the Finnish issue because Germany cannot afford the price.
"Please continue..." At Hess's signal, Ribbentrop went on to introduce the situation this afternoon. When the two sides were in a stalemate over the issue of Finland, Ribbentrop changed the subject and said, "Can't the colonial power vacuum that will appear after the collapse of the British Empire impress Russia?" Obviously, Ribbentrop wanted to use British colonies in Asia drew Soviet attention to Finland.
"Has he been fooled?" Goebbels asked.
Ribbentrop shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Molotov is really difficult to deal with. This kind of trick can't confuse this old fox at all!"
The terms Ribbentrop proposed were by no means unattractive. After the conquest of Britain, the 40 million square kilometers of British Empire territory spread around the world will be divided up like a huge bankrupt industry. In this bankrupt industry, Russia could gain access to the unfrozen, truly open ocean. Up to now, a minority of 45 million British people have ruled over the 600 million inhabitants of the British Empire. Is he about to crush this minority? ? In this case, what will be the prospect of world-wide expansion? ? The powers which might have an interest in this bankrupt industry must cease all quarrels among themselves, and devote themselves exclusively to the question of the partition of the British Empire. This applies to Germany, France, Italy, Russia, and even Japan in Asia.
Molotov, who remained calm, was not moved by Ribbentrop's wonderful prospect. He just said calmly, "Now we should discuss issues closer to Europe. For example, Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania. The Soviet government believes that Germany’s guarantee to Romania is against the interests of Soviet Russia. If we can express our opinions so frankly, I hope that the German government can cancel the guarantee to Romania!”
After Ribbentrop finished speaking, Lin Wei asked, "Molotov mentioned Romania?"
"Yes, our negotiations have come to an end! Molotov and I refuse to give in, so we can only talk about it later!" Ribbentrop replied.
"Talk? Talk about nonsense!" Lin Wei cursed, then looked back upstairs to make sure that he had not disturbed his wife, Lin Wei cursed in a low voice, "These greedy polar bears, they will pay the price , one day they will know how much they will pay for their heart-to-heart talk!"
Romania's status to Germany is as important as Finland, or even more important. Germany's invincible armored cluster will become a pile of scrap metal once it loses its oil supply. However, there are only two countries in Europe that produce oil, one is the Soviet Union. Once a war starts, this country will become a pile of scrap metal. The other road is definitely unworkable, and the other is Romania. Now the Soviet Union actually wants to annex Romania, which is simply adding fuel to the fire of Soviet-German relations, which are at a delicate stage.
