Chapter 839: Dividing Germany
When Wang Meng saw that this "British bulldog" started to bite people, he directly shifted the blame to someone else. Stalin could no longer sit still.
"I am planning to send troops to the Northeast, otherwise I would not want the main island of Japan, and this is a matter between China and me, so you, a British man, should not make indirect accusations!"
Churchill was confused. What did this have to do with anything? He was just targeting China, not trying to take on two enemies at once.
"No, Mr. Stalin, I'm referring to the distribution of rights and interests in Germany after the war. It has nothing to do with Japan."
"Okay, then why should we give it to France? As far as I know, France only resisted for forty days before surrendering. Is this the contribution you, Mr. Churchill, are talking about?"
Churchill never expected that his secret dream of bringing France into the alliance would be exposed by Wang Meng.
Roosevelt remained calm, but Stalin was furious.
After all, France is an old-fashioned capitalist country and will definitely stand on the side of Britain and the United States. Roosevelt also hopes that Britain and France can check and balance the red regime.
Therefore, Country M certainly had no objection to France carving up a piece of German territory to help them speed up their reconstruction.
Stalin was very unhappy. The meeting hasn't even started yet, but you, Roosevelt and Churchill, have decided this?
Fuck off!
"President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, I don't think France is qualified to share Germany with us. Because France's contribution is not even as good as... not as good as... China!"
Stalin was finally forced to acknowledge China's outstanding contribution to the fight against the fascist alliance.
Wang Meng spread his hands.
“So, can we discuss how to distribute Germany’s post-war benefits?”
Roosevelt and Churchill looked at each other and could only temporarily adjourn the meeting and continue the discussion the next day.
After the recess, Roosevelt and Churchill held another quiet meeting in the room, and Wang Meng immediately informed Li Yunlong of today's situation and asked him to pass it on to Lin Shubing.
In addition, Wang Meng also specifically instructed Li Yunlong to strive for all possible forces, expand the army as much as possible, and make full preparations for future stationing in Japan.
Li Yunlong frowned, it seemed that the original plan of fighting on two fronts was going to be implemented, so he quickly ordered all the army groups to incorporate the local armed forces developed by the Eighth Route Army into the troops on the spot. Of course, he did so in exchange for weapons and equipment.
In addition, the Kunming Sanatorium received more than 5,000 veterans of the Central Army. Li Yunlong immediately asked Zhao Gang to send political cadres to do ideological work for them, and to stay to fight the Japanese. He also sent a telegram to Li Muzhi to poach Fang Xianjue, who was teaching at the Army University.
According to Li Yunlong's plan, the new soldiers recruited from Guangxi and Yunnan were integrated with the 5,000 veterans in Kunming and directly organized into an army with three mountain infantry divisions in preparation for crossing the Nujiang River.
In addition, the Aviation College of the National Defense University also graduated more than 300 pilots, and three more aviation divisions were directly added, namely the 7th Aviation Division, the 8th Aviation Division and the 9th Aviation Division, which were stationed in Xilin Gol to support the Northeast battlefield.
Li Yunlong was busy and a week had passed. It turned out that this was all Wang Meng's work. It's like a mountain between two different fields. If it weren't for Lin Shubing's help, it would have been a bit difficult to handle.
Fortunately, these major tasks have been almost completed.
Meanwhile, the meeting on Wang Meng's side was drawing to a close. Roosevelt's health was deteriorating, and he no longer had the energy to fight with Stalin. Moreover, the Japanese in southern Burma seemed to be gathering in India, preparing to attack the M army.
He now urgently needs all the participating countries to reach a consensus and immediately launch an attack on the fascist alliance.
"Mr. Stalin, Prime Minister Churchill and I have reached an agreement that France will not participate in the division of German rights and interests, but will take out 10% of Germany's war reparations as compensation. Do you agree?"
Stalin did not say anything, which was considered as his tacit agreement to the result.
"Although China did not directly participate in the attack on Germany, I personally believe that as a victorious country, it should enjoy some rights and interests."
Stalin still didn't say anything, but looked at Wang Meng quietly, waiting for him to open his mouth.
"Mr. Stalin, I know that Country E wants Berlin, and your troops will be able to reach Berlin soon.
And you, President Roosevelt, you want northwestern Germany because it has the industrial center of the Ruhr and is close to the sea, making it convenient for you to dismantle the equipment and ship it back to the United States.
As for other countries, I won’t say anything, because there are always some people who want to take advantage of the situation.
We Chinese don't want land, compensation, or industrial equipment, we just need their people! China is now beaten to pieces, we need a large number of workers and technicians, so China has only one condition, after occupying Germany, we will transport 500,000 Germans from Germany, and you are not allowed to stop us! "
Stalin finally calmed down, as he thought Wang Meng would ask for a huge amount of money and equipment, but it turned out that he just wanted a person. So, give it to him!
Anyway, Country E has already formulated its post-occupation policy: it wants land but not people. All the Germans should get out!
After all the Germans are gone, their country E will then support a pro-E regime and solve the problem once and for all.
"I agree with China's request. After all, China is just like our E country. It is riddled with holes and has suffered at least $500 billion in losses, so it needs a large number of workers to rebuild. Therefore, I not only want the land of Berlin, I also want to dismantle 75% of Germany's industrial equipment and ship it back to E country as compensation!
In addition, I want 500 million Germans to be forced to work for Country E as compensation!"
Churchill jumped out at this time. He had been eyeing those industrial equipment for a long time. How could he let Country E take them away?
"I object! Germany's industrial equipment should be divided equally!"
Roosevelt was dumbfounded. Wasn't the Ruhr, Germany's industrial center, originally in his pocket? Why did Country E want to take away 75% of it and then divide it equally? Have you considered my feelings?
Seeing that the topic was about to get stuck here again, Roosevelt had no choice but to "carry forward his style" and cede the northwestern region and the industrial center of the Ruhr to the Northwest, then give 75% of the industrial equipment to the Soviet Union and pick up the rest for himself.
He also agreed to China's request that after Germany was "liberated", the independent column would use ships to pull people away.
It’s not that Roosevelt was really generous, but he was afraid that his body would not survive until the day of victory in the war, so he intervened to bring the meeting to a relatively satisfactory end.
So, Wang Meng, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin signed the Yalta Agreement together, which also meant that the major agreement affecting the post-war layout was officially implemented.
In a sense, China has become one of the four major powers in the world. From another perspective, the Independent Column has become the most influential force in China.
So, when the agreement was being signed, Jiang Yunchu could only stand aside and watch.
