Both sides suffer? The United States should be injured and Europe should die! Lin Wei is still very clear about the gap between Europe and the United States. If Europe's industry is integrated, the industry will be similar to that of the United States. However, the United States is one country, but Europe is many countries, and a large amount of resources will be consumed in In every country! If you want to surpass the United States in terms of industrial strength, you must destroy the Soviet Union. If you add the Soviet Union's industrial base, you will have a chance of winning against the United States! "Dear Her Majesty the Queen!" Lin Wei now seemed to have been arrogant in front of the queen, and said with a smile, "I have never had the idea of going to war with the Americans! In addition to the United States, aren't there many countries in the world? Africa, Australia is an opportunity for us to flex our muscles, and we can strengthen our power in the colonies, which is also a good thing for our colonial rule!"

Wilhelmina and Leopold III looked at each other and said cautiously, "We all know about launching wars to gain benefits. If it can strengthen the power of the colonies, it will be a good thing for us, but The current situation is not stable. As far as I know, Japan in East Asia is now very ambitious! The young general probably doesn’t know this!"

"I don't know? How could I not know?" Lin Wei knows the virtues of this country too well. As a neighbor of this country, there is only one thing he can do, and that is to always surpass him in strength. If you are surpassed by him, Well, you are just waiting for bad luck. However, this country still has a little role to play. Lin Wei can no longer think of the idea of losing both sides, so he said, "To be honest with Her Majesty the Queen, Japan has had contact with Germany a few years ago, but I have always opposed forming an alliance with Japan because This is too dangerous! This country is too adventurous, and being its ally is very dangerous! But now I have changed my attention. If it is used well, the effect Japan can achieve is still huge!"

Queen Wilhelmina nodded, knowingly not asking about the specific plan. This was an internal decision within Germany, and it was not the turn of other countries to take charge. Lin Wei's answer to Queen Wilhelmina's question just now was already a great sign of respect. . Lin Wei and Wilhelmina's daughter and son-in-law had a brief unpleasantness in Amsterdam. If it really got serious, the queen of a defeated country might not be able to protect her son-in-law.

Whether it is said that Lin Wei is strong or a villain, Lin Wei has no good feelings for these royal families now and does not deserve to be beaten. Who knows whether these countries will cause some trouble in the future if they obey Germany. In the end, This will allow Germany to mobilize the armies of these countries when it is specifically engaged in war. Anyway, the armies of these countries cannot be allowed to stay in the country. If they play the trick of starting in Cao's camp and focusing on Han, Germany will not even have a place to cry.

Lin Wei is confident that he can hide his thoughts from many people, but unfortunately, the people here now include Lin Wei's father Gustav. Although he cannot see through many things about his son, he can grasp Lin Wei's The mood was still very easy. The indifference in Lin Wei's eyes did not escape Gustave's eyes. At this time, Gustave also knew that this topic could not be discussed any longer, so he said instead, "Lampard, today His Majesty and I will discuss with the royal family members of these countries the issue of industrial integration so that the strengths of our respective countries can complement each other. Do you see anything to add to this matter?"

Gustav just changed the topic and did not expect Lin Wei to answer at all. Although Lin Wei successfully predicted or guessed the time of the financial crisis, in Gustav's view, this guy has no economic vision at all. No, there is definitely no answer to this question. However, beyond Gustav's expectation, Lin Wei pondered for a moment, "The best integration is to set up an agency to manage and distribute the resources of the entire Europe. It is best for this agency not to be controlled by any country. It belongs to any country." ! This way, we can be united together to the greatest extent!”

When Lin Wei finished speaking, Gustav was not only surprised this time, he certainly knew the benefits Lin Wei said. Unified management can reduce resource consumption to a greater extent, and the benefits are really huge. Gustave found that his conclusion seemed a bit arbitrary, so he asked, "So Lampard, do you have a plan in mind?"

"Father, it's just an immature suggestion!" Lin Wei said humbly. Lin Wei's expression was not easy to see. Only in front of those closest to him, Lin Wei showed such an attitude. The arrogant person suddenly felt a huge contrast.

"Go on!" Gustave narrated simply. Regarding his son, Gustave did not need to be as polite as he treated others. Instead, he naturally entered the role of a father, as if this was not Sanssouci Palace. The hall, but the cold office in Hugel's villa.

Lin Wei didn't feel uncomfortable and didn't care about the opinions of these people. He talked eloquently, "The reason why there are always wars in Europe is inevitably related to the uneven distribution of resources in us. Therefore, the integration process develops together." , it is imperative! This can increase the competitiveness of Europe as a whole, so that we will not be at a disadvantage when comparing with the United States! The most important things for us now are coal and steel. Although oil is also very important, As we all know Europe does not produce oil, so we won’t consider it for now!”

"In this way, we can avoid war, especially..." Leopold III looked at William II and did not continue.

Lin Wei guessed what Leopold III wanted to say and added, "Especially for us Germany and France, if we implement this plan, there will be no more wars in the future. As long as Germany and France are stable, there will be no more wars in Europe." They are killing each other, and I think Belgium, as a middle country, should be very happy about this!"

Leopold III did not deny Lin Wei's view. For Belgium, it is indeed a great good thing that Germany and France are safe and sound. When these two behemoths, Germany and France, fight, Belgium in the middle can't stand the splint. You must stand in line. No one can bear it after a long time. Leopold III looked at Marshal Pétain, who had been silent, and wanted to know the opinion of the current head of state of France. If there was no war between Germany and France, it would mean that France would permanently lose the opportunity to recapture Alsace and Lorraine. , I don’t know what Marshal Pétain thinks.

"I have no objection!" The old Marshal Pétain has already expressed his opinion. In the eyes of Marshal Pétain, France has now lost the capital to compete with Germany for hegemony. Now Marshal Pétain just hopes that France's reputation will not decline. , although Europe is dominated by Germany, it would be fine as long as it is not suppressed by the second country. Give yourself time. Marshal Pétain is confident that France will regain its strength sooner or later. Among the many suggestions made by Lin Wei just now, what Marshal Pétain really pays attention to is actually increasing the control of the colonies. Since the end of World War I, many colonies have When the independence movement began, Marshal Pétain set up a strong force to suppress it, but in the end he was unsuccessful.

Germany has repeatedly promised that it is not interested in colonies. If France gets help from Germany on this issue, it will be a very advantageous thing for France to maintain its status as a great power. Therefore, Marshal Pétain fully agreed with what Lin Wei said about keeping the colony in his hands forever, just like the territory.

In exchange for Germany's support on this issue, Marshal Pétain was willing to give up Alsace and Lorraine, which Germany and France had fought for hundreds of years. Anyway, they were originally German-speaking areas. From a legal perspective, the evidence presented by Germany was not More convincing.

"I wonder if the heads of state have any opinions on General Lampard's suggestion? If not, I think you can give it a try. After all, this is a huge good thing for the peace and development of Europe!" William II said with a full face. A hearty smile. Among these countries, Germany has the strongest industrial strength and capital. If it is truly integrated, Germany will be the country that will benefit the most. William II will certainly not object.

No one in the entire hall raised any objection, not even the neutral country Sweden, and the matter was settled. Just when Lin Wei was about to go back to rest, he suddenly saw the Swiss representative, and then suddenly stopped, walked into a Swiss man who looked like the leader of the police department, and looked at him.

Lin Wei suddenly smiled and said, "May I ask your name!" Lin Wei had already seen some military style in him. As we all know, Switzerland has no army, and Lin Wei suddenly became interested in this person.

"Bernice Finn" the middle-aged man replied.

Lin Wei tilted his head and looked at the Swiss in front of him, and suddenly remembered the allusion between Germany and Switzerland. German Air Marshal Goering once asked a Swiss officer: "How many of you can fight with us?" Swiss officer "500,000" Göring said: "If we send a million troops to suppress the border, what will you do?" The Swiss officer replied, "Two shots per person!" His face was calm.

Lin Wei has never heard of such a thing in this time and space, and Lin Wei does not believe it. At least now Lin Wei is confident that he can lead 100,000 armed SS troops to occupy all of Switzerland in one week. Even if all the people in Switzerland are soldiers, they are no match for real soldiers. If the Swiss thought they could defeat aircraft and tanks with rifles, they would not cooperate with Germany in the war.

"Mr. Bernice Finn, I want you to tell your president something after you return to Switzerland!" Lin Wei said with a smile.
