Chapter 967: Giving aid is not enough, what else do you want, President?
Nothing serious?
Zhou Weiguo looked at Ruth with a smile for a while and then asked, "Do you think the agreement you signed was humiliating?"
Ruth twitched her eyes slightly and hummed. "It's indeed humiliating."
"That's incredible. Think about London. Hundreds of years ago, who signed an unequal treaty with them? One that ceded land, anyway?"
"That's different. They gave it up so that we could help them, but we still have to send troops." Asaka Hiderei said indignantly.
Zhou Weiguo leaned back on the sofa and sneered twice. "Let's not talk about anything else, just tell me whether they ceded the land or not."
Asaka Hiderei stopped talking. She couldn't deny it. After all, these things were really ceded.
"That's right. They haven't ceded any land in all these years, yet poor people like us have had a piece of land snatched away. It can be said that this is the first unequal treaty they have signed in all the years they have dominated the world. Moreover, this treaty was signed with the mountain city they despise."
Ruth, squatting at the door, chuckled and said, "I understand. It's like an adult who has always bullied a child, and suddenly the child blackmails them. Not only do they have to pay money, but they also have to pay their own land. And this child is the kind they have always looked down upon."
"That's about right. So, I won't allow this to happen, and I can't let it happen. Since he hates us, then either he dies, or he survives and we die, so..."
"Press him to death and he will never get up again in his life." Chaoxiang Xiuling said from the side.
Seeing that the two understood, Zhou Weiguo smiled and nodded. "That's all that matters, but we don't have the ability to do that. We can only use a borrowed knife to kill people. But if a knife kills too many people, a gap will appear. What we need to do is to maintain this gap. This knife will eventually become useless, but until it completes its mission, it needs to remain sharp."
Ruth listened attentively and drank quickly, finishing a bottle of beer in no time. She put the bottle aside and made a partition, then said, "But General, we are talking about it loud and clear here, but the premise is that Berlin is willing to do it. If they are not willing to do it, then no matter how nice our words are, it will be useless."
"Don't worry, they will do it."
After Zhou Weiguo left, Guderian returned to his study and wrote a document overnight. After making sure there were no problems, he closed the document.
The adjutant beside him immediately brought him coffee. After waiting for him to wake up, the adjutant asked in confusion, "Your Excellency the General seems to care a lot about Zhou Weiguo's advice."
"It's not that we care, but we need it." Guderian put down his coffee cup and looked up to see his adjutant looking worried. He hummed and asked, "What do you seem to be worried about?"
"General, I feel like they are using us."
"It's not just that they seem to be using us, they are definitely using us. But as I said before, no matter how they use us, we need them, and that's enough." Guderian waved his hand. "Well, as long as it doesn't affect the fundamental interests of our empire, even if we become a knife in their hands, it's nothing."
The next morning, after going to the office to make sure everything was fine, he went to the President's Palace with the documents.
Adolf, who was painting in the drawing room of the Führer's Palace, heard that Guderian had arrived. He came out of the drawing room and sat down at his seat. He looked at Guderian and asked, "How is it?"
"The leader is wise. They did come prepared, and it was because of the North Soviet issue."
"There's a saying in Shancheng that goes, 'All the people come for profit.' If they're here, it means it's beneficial for them." Adolf took the document, looked through it, then used a pen to mark it and handed it to the secretary beside him. "Copy what I've circled. Have the Chief of Staff, the Minister of the Interior, and the Minister of Commerce discuss this matter and come up with a reasonable solution."
Guderian took a quick look and circled what Zhou Weiguo had mentioned, which was the issue of fighting to support the war once a three-front war broke out. After careful analysis and calculation, he finally added some things on his own. He used the territory occupied by Canada as a basis to form an independent combat range, support the formation of troops, and send technical personnel to build arsenals, etc. During this period, the empire used the materials surrendered by the other small countries to transport them, so that after the war broke out, with the cooperation of the Japanese army, a separate combat area could be formed. After all, this ocean transportation would also consume a lot of materials.
The secretary took a look, nodded, and went to his seat.
Adolf motioned Guderian to sit down, and then asked him, "What do you think about the North Soviet issue?"
"Your Excellency, I'm ashamed to say I don't know where to begin. But judging by what Zhou Weiguo said last night, he seems to have a plan. It's just that this man is very good at planning, and he stopped me midway with some words."
Adolf hummed and then smiled. "Tell me about it."
Guderian recounted yesterday's events. Adolf laughed after hearing them, "What they said was true. They're being so vague now, just to get more benefits from us."
Are there any other benefits?
Guderian frowned slightly.
Since the battle between Yamashiro and the Japanese, the Northern Soviet Union has provided them with a lot of assistance, even involving aircraft, tanks, and other military technical assistance. In addition, London has also provided them with a lot of weapons assistance.
This group of people wants to take control of all the technologies in the world.
"Do you think there's something wrong with this?" Adolf asked.
Guderian nodded without hiding anything. "Yes, they have received a lot of assistance. Why is it so..."
"Given the current state of the country, they don't have many options. Coupled with decades of shopping, they've long since developed the habit of grabbing anything good. You have to understand this."
Having said that, Adolf turned sideways, made a very comfortable gesture, and looked at Guderian. "What do you think we should give them this time?"
"What they lack is artillery and air force strength. Leader, I think we can give them some bombers, fighter jets, and even tank artillery this time. This will help us test the feasibility of the weapons we have developed."
Adolf nodded slightly. "You're right, but that's far from enough."
what?
Guderian's eyes widened instantly; "Your Excellency the Führer said that this is far from enough. Does that mean that Your Excellency the Führer is planning to..." No, that's not what he thought.
