Chapter 819 Mutual Benefit, Why Don’t I Agree
Presidential Palace.
The short Adolf put down his brush and stood up. "There are many schemes going on over there in the mountain city, and this one is an open one for us."
"Yes, Head of State, this is an open conspiracy for us, and there is also an element of gambling in it. Among them, we will have to launch a joint attack on the North Soviet Union at that time. That's it."
"What do you think?" Adolf came to the window, looked at the wide street with his hands behind his back and asked for a while.
Guderian didn't answer the question, but instead handed over a document. "This is a map of the troop deployment along the northern Soviet border, as well as the production capacity of their military-industrial enterprises. Additionally, I've included dozens of companies producing civilian vehicles in this map. After all, they're all collectively planned. If war breaks out, these factories will be immediately converted to military use."
Adolf flipped through the pages for a while and said, "You don't suggest we take action against Beisu."
"Yes, we don't recommend it because the chances of success are slim. If we fail to quickly capture these areas, the British will quickly gather their forces and launch a counterattack. This will put us in a situation where we are fighting on two fronts. If we fully attack the Fog City, then the Northern Soviet Union will also attack us to protect its own interests. Zhou Weiguo mentioned this issue last time."
After closing the document, Adolf went to sit on the sofa. He glanced at Guderian, then motioned him to sit down and said, "In this case, we and Shancheng are actually in the same situation. To break this situation, we need to open up a new area. This area is Canada for both Shancheng and our empire. As long as we occupy it, we can deter the United States and force it to retreat and not dare to act recklessly. In this way, Britain's colonies in South Asia and Southeast Asia will be tied down by the Japanese army, which is beneficial to us. As for the Japanese army, we can use it as a vanguard to deal with the United States."
"This is a matter of mutual benefit. I have no objection. As long as they can convince Fog City to clear the way for us to occupy an area on the Canadian side, I can carry out this plan on my own."
Adolf's affirmation made Guderian nod slightly; "The Führer is wise. I will go tell Zhou Weiguo and the others right away."
Adolf signaled his secretary to send Guderian back, and then he returned to his drawing room.
"Prime Minister, I don't understand. Yamashiro is clearly using us, so why are we agreeing to them?" the secretary approached him. "If we do this, we'll likely come into direct conflict with the US."
"The US has huge ambitions. Since the war began, they've sent a large amount of supplies to Britain. This can be considered an indirect act of war. There's a saying in Yamashiro: 'Nothing can be built without destruction.' Furthermore, there's one benefit to us going there: we can collaborate with Tokyo and respond together. No country would want to send supplies to others after being attacked on its own soil."
Adolf said this and turned to look at his secretary. "I think you can understand what I'm saying."
"Just agreed so easily. I thought we still needed to spend some time talking." After pouring tea for Zhou Weiguo and others, Ruth couldn't believe that Berlin would agree so readily.
Zhou Weiguo took a sip of tea and, noticing she was still standing, he raised his hand slightly, pointed to the sofa across from her, and asked her to sit down. He then smiled and said, "It's mutually beneficial. This will benefit both Berlin and us. Why wouldn't Berlin do it? Besides, it's also a way for them to accumulate and acquire supplies. Naturally, he wouldn't refuse such a good thing that benefits all parties."
"Then our next step is to head to the Fog City. After all, only by convincing them can our plan be considered a true success." Chaoxiang Xiuling said with a sigh, "But how do we convince them?"
From that perspective, there is no interest involved with him.
Asaka Hiderei's words made everyone fall into deep thought.
Xiao Ya put down the teacup in her hand and said, "We can find a breakthrough by looking at their position."
status?
Chao Xiang Xiuling raised her head and looked at Xiao Ya; "Sister, what do you mean?"
"Having held a dominant economic position for hundreds of years, I don't believe that Britain really wants to give up this position of power. But now, there is indeed such a crisis. This crisis is that if the United States does not participate in the war and just makes money like it did in the war 30 years ago, then Britain will have to give up this position.
"Yes, I have been the king for hundreds of years, and now I may suddenly become the second in command or even a scumbag. No one would be happy about this. I won't be happy about this anyway."
Zhou Weiguo knocked on the table. "Then we can start from here. But Xiuling, you have to stay here this time and ask Guderian for something."
"What do you want?" When Chaoxiang Xiuling heard that she would be staying to negotiate with Guderian, she instantly became interested. She wasn't one to run around. And when it came to negotiations, she was okay with some planning and strategy, but negotiation was her forte.
"Berlin and we are in a secret alliance, and fighting against the North Soviet Union is based on our shared interests. Tell them that we need their help and ask them to come to our mountain city and secretly assist in the search for mineral resources."
He couldn't trust people from any other country. As for the people in the mountain city, they were all half-baked and basically impossible to find.
"Is this all you want?" Asaka Hiderei blinked. She thought this was not difficult. Yamashiro had to be stronger than it is now to become a qualified ally of Berlin, so Berlin would not refuse.
"As for the rest, you can handle it as you see fit. We're in need of everything in our mountain city anyway. Get it for me if you can, and get it done within this short period of time. After all, our return means the deal is done. We can use this to put pressure on them, but it absolutely cannot be done openly."
"Don't worry, I'm not as good as my elder sister at negotiation, but I still think I'm better than her in this area."
Zhou Weiguo patted her head. "That's right. Don't you see who you are? In that case, I'll leave this to you."
Chao Xiang Xiuling nodded, then she looked at Zhou Weiguo and said, "Ruth, you have to stay with me."
She didn't understand the specific situation here, so by leaving Ruth behind, she could understand more clearly how to talk to Guderian.
"Okay, Ruth, stay. As for what you want, you decide for yourself," Zhou Weiguo said. Xiao Ya, standing beside him, suddenly thought of something and said, "Xiuling, you can refer to someone else's suggestion for this matter."
Chao Xiang Xiuling looked at Xiao Ya in confusion; "Sister, who are you referring to?"
