"So... how is your country ready to mediate the war between our empire and the United States, China, and the Soviet Union?"

Hiroshima was silent for a while. After knowing that the German-Japanese alliance was irreversible, he began to ask about the way for German mediation.

“About peace,” Hessman said, “we had an open and honest discussion with Comrade Zhou, the Chinese Prime Minister and Foreign Minister who was visiting Europe.”

The German Empire was actually one of the two countries in the world to recognize the Chinese revolutionary government. It established diplomatic relations as early as 1928. Moreover, because the southern government at that time also implemented socialism and was of the same clan as national socialism, after the Soviet-German honeymoon period began, the leaders of both China and Germany were already communicative.

This title did not change even after the Soviet-Germany turned against each other and started the war. Because Germany hoped that China could mediate the war between the Soviet-Germany, it still regarded China as a friend. It was not until later that it met many Chinese internationalist fighters on the battlefield that the relationship between the two sides became cold.

However, as Japan's defeat in the East Asian continent became a foregone conclusion, Sino-German relations began to improve again. This is because although China and the European Community are actually inaccessible, they are neighboring countries on the map. On the European Community map, the Soviet Union does not exist, and the eastern part of Russia is bordering China! Therefore, after the Sino-Soviet army defeated the Japanese army and preserved the dominance of the East Asian continent, Germany must draw a red line for China and the Soviet Union can comrades and brothers, but they must not merge! Moreover, the Chinese cannot enter the vast land of the Soviet Union to support the construction of GCism in the Soviet Union.

Otherwise, when the Russian Empire achieves unification in the future, hundreds of millions of Chinese people will suddenly become more than one hundred million in the eastern part of Russia! This is a big deal... For the current Germany and the European community, it is best for the Chinese to feed the Slavic masters of the Soviet Union with food, so as not to let the Soviet Union collapse too early, and at the same time, hundreds of millions of Chinese people cannot go to the Russian territory controlled by the Soviet Union.

As for the option to assist Japan in defeating China and the Soviet Union at all costs, there is no feasibility. Not to mention whether Japan will die in the bacterial weapon war, this possibility is relatively high, even if Germany helps Japan win at all costs. Japan will definitely be powerful in taking over the East Asian continent, and the Soviet Union will definitely not survive without China's support. At that time, the European community will have to increase the Slavic master by tens of millions or even one hundred million, which is completely self-inflicted!

So the Chinese national leaders received a warm invitation from the European Community not long ago. Now the Chinese Prime Minister and Foreign Minister are visiting Europe and are affectionately called "comrade" by the German government.

Hearing Hessman calling the Chinese Prime Minister a "comrade", Hiroshima's face turned as if it was as gray as black. He knew that this meant that Germany actually had a request for China, and Japan now had a request for Germany...

Hessman continued: "The Chinese believe that the Treaty of Shimonoseki, signed in 1895, can now be invalidated."

"This is impossible!" Oshima Hiroshima roared. The Treaty of Shimonoseki not only involves compensation of 230 million taels of silver, but also involves the ownership of the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan Island (and its affiliated islands).

If this treaty is invalidated, Japan will need to pay 230 million taels of silver to China and return it to Taiwan Island and its affiliated islands. In addition, Japan's rule over North Korea will also have huge controversy because it is the Treaty of Shimonoseki that gives North Korea "independence". It can be said that the Treaty of Shimonoseki is the basis of the Treaty of Japan-South Korea Merger.

Hessman raised his wrist, looked at the time in a pretentious manner, and said, "Then in 24 hours, there will be 300 b-17 and b-29 full of plague fleas, anthrax spores and napalm bombs to visit major industrial cities in Japan... This time, at least 1,000 tons of bacterial weapons will be thrown down!"

"The Japanese Empire will take the same revenge!" Hiroshima said tremblingly.

Hessman shook his head: "The Chinese say they are not afraid of fighting bacterial warfare... This time they are preparing to die 100 million people! Oshima Jun, in the era of bacterial weapons, population is combat power! And now the bacterial weapons used to attack Japan seem to be invented by you yourself, and you also first used bacterial weapons against the Americans and the Chinese. Their current revenge is completely reasonable and legal!"

It is not unreasonable for bacterial weapons to be called the atomic bomb of a poor country in later generations! Its production cost is much lower than that of nuclear weapons, but the effect is actually to fight for population and determination! If China exchanges 100 million deaths for Japan's 70 million deaths, then China still has more than 500 million people, and Japan has no one.

And "100 million deaths" are just a sign of determination. With China's current population distribution, if we have to fight with Japan for bacterial war, the Japanese will definitely die more than the Chinese! About a fraction of the Chinese population can be used to exchange the Japanese twice.

"But..." Hiroshima's mouth couldn't be hard either. No matter how hard the Japanese were, they would be 100 million. In fact, there were no 100 million people at all. And the Chinese leader said that they had 100 million deaths and had 500 million deaths, so there were really people!

If you want to buy bacterial weapons, Japan will definitely be defeated! And... these damn bacterial weapons were invented by the Japanese and used first!

"Mr. Oshima," Adolf Hitler said sympathetically, "we will not watch Japan perish under the attack of bacterial weapons, so... as long as you are willing to achieve a ceasefire on the basis of abolishing the Treaty of Japan-Shenzhen Shimonoseki and withdrawing from Russia's Sakhalin Island (Sakhalin Island), agreeing to return 230 million taels of silver and North Korea, the general principle of Taiwan's sovereignty, and specific issues can still be found through formal peace talks.

Only when the two sides cease fire first can these issues be discussed! Otherwise, bacterial weapons will be thrown around, or how long will there be no humans in Japan."

"Yes," Hessman also spoke on the side, "Even if the treaty is abolished, it does not mean that the Chinese can immediately recover Taiwan's rule and compensation. Without a navy, it is impossible for them to cross the sea to attack Taiwan. At most, a few police officers (or tens of thousands of police officers) will be sent to Taiwan. As for returning the compensation... what can they do if you don't have money?"

He did not mention the Korean Peninsula, because the Japanese Kwantung Army can no longer stop the tide of the Red Army, and the Korean Peninsula is about to fall into the hands of the Sino-Soviet Army.

Moreover, Hessmann did not believe that Japan and China and the Soviet Union could negotiate through peace negotiations, just to continue military confrontation after a ceasefire, just like the Korean Peninsula in history.

"The Chinese agree?" Hiroshima was silent for a while, knowing that Japan had no choice but to do anything now.

"In principle, it was agreed," Hessman said, "but they also put forward two additional conditions. First, during the ceasefire, all foreign trade and transportation of China will not be disturbed by Japan; second, during the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan should be autonomous and demilitarized."

"Autonomous and demilitarized?" Hiroshima asked with a frown, "Is autonomy completely autonomous?"

"Of course not," Hessman smiled, "autonomousness does not achieve independence. And demilitarization is limited to regular troops not allowed to enter, and non-military police and militia can still exist."

Theoretically, after the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the sovereignty of Taiwan and its affiliated islands should be returned to China, which is beyond doubt. However, there are obstacles to the ownership of the Korean Peninsula. Because the Kingdom of Korea was a vassal of the Qing Empire before the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and it was not a territory of the Qing Empire. Moreover, the legal basis for Japan's annexation of North Korea was the Treaty of Japan-South Korea Merger, which was not signed by the Qing Dynasty and Japan, so China had no right to propose abolition.

Of course, in the face of absolute force, treaties and international law are waste paper. However, China and Japan now have no absolute force to suppress the other party except for extreme methods such as bacterial weapons.

Therefore, the ceasefire between China and the Soviet Union and Japan can only be achieved, and the ownership of the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan must be negotiated later. In this case, it is impossible for the Korean Peninsula to immediately establish an independent country. It can only be custodialized by China and the Soviet Union. Autonomy can only be custodialized by custodial.

The situation on Taiwan Island is similar. Although there is no dispute over sovereignty there, the governance is controversial. Because China and the Soviet Union do not have a strong navy, it cannot be defeated! At most, tens of thousands of people's police and party representatives are sent.

The situation in which China, the Soviet Union and Japan are caught in a long-term confrontation and marathon negotiations due to Taiwan and Korean Peninsula issues is the most welcome situation in Germany.

This means that the two giants of Greater East Asian civilization will be hostile to each other for a long time and will not be able to unite to revitalize their civilization.

In addition, the United States will also face the problem of choosing sides between China and Japan in the future. If the United States continues its current pro-China route, Japan will hold Europe's thighs tightly as a vicious dog in the Pacific. It will isolated China, the Soviet Union, the United States and Australia militarily. On the contrary, if the United States is pro-Japanese, then China will fall into the arms of Europe. At that time, the world islands are united, and it will not be easy to crush the US, Japan and Australia alliance?

"In addition, we plan to mediate the war between the United States and Japan." Adolf Hitler changed the topic and knew that Japan had no capital to disobey Germany at all, and Japan could only accept Germany's arrangements for East Asia.

Hitler said: "The United States and Japan must have a ceasefire! Because only in this way can we limit the U.S. naval strength in the EC-US Peace Treaty."

The EC-US Peace Treaty under discussion will not only force the United States to lose money, but will also limit the United States' military strength, especially its naval strength.

"Oh, how do your country plan to limit the US naval military equipment?" Hiroshima became interested immediately. Although he was a Japanese army big red deer, the issue of restricting the naval military equipment was also very important to him. Because the Japanese Empire only used the two money to build warships, the army could only reduce its expenses.

German Defense Secretary Schletcher took over the question and replied: "We plan to attach an arms restriction treaty to the EC-US Peace Treaty, which not only limits the development of the United States' navy, but also limits the development of jet fighters and atomic weapons... The United States must not develop jet aircraft and also atomic bombs before 1955.

"As for the Navy," Hessman continued, "the total tonnage of combat ships in the United States cannot exceed 500,000 tons, and large ships with displacement of more than 15,000 tons are not allowed, aircraft carriers, aircraft carrier battleships, aircraft carrier cruisers and battleships are not allowed."

This restriction is actually very loose. Because the German General Staff headed by Hessman believes that the era when large surface ships dominate the ocean is actually over. It is not that large surface ships are useless, but they cannot be used as weapons for the decisive battle of major powers, and can only be used to bully weak countries.

In the future, the battle between great powers will still rely on nuclear weapons! No matter how powerful an aircraft carrier team is, a nuclear bomb with an equivalent of 200,000 tons will be destroyed if it explodes underwater.

So there is no problem in attacking aircraft carriers with ballistic missiles. The problem is just what warhead is used?

Therefore, the Germans (United States of Europe) themselves do not intend to invest too much resources to build an overly large naval surface fleet. As long as there are about 10 aircraft carrier battle groups to show off and scare the small countries.

"Then... your country, oh, should be the future United States of Europe, how many tens of thousands of tons of naval surface ships are prepared to own?" Hiroshima asked tentatively.

Although Hitler and Hessmann and others have not mentioned it, he has expected a global "Naval Arms Restriction Treaty" to control the strength of the navies of various countries and allow the United States of Europe to maintain hegemony at a lower cost.

"1.5 million tons," Hessman replied, "After the peace treaty is signed, the European Community Navy will cut and organize, and will eliminate most of the old-fashioned ships that cannot adapt to the missile-era combat. And rebuild a batch of new ships with missiles and carrier-based jets as their main weapons."

The elimination of old ships and the reconstruction of new ships is not good news for Japan, a traditional maritime power!

"So," Hessman looked at Hiroshima Oshima, whose face looked ugly again, and then said, "We plan to sign a naval arms treaty that all major countries around the world participate in later. We will impose certain restrictions on the naval arms of each country... Of course, except for the United States, the rest of the countries need to be restricted only by missile ships and aircraft carriers, aircraft cruisers and aircraft-borne battleships with missiles as the main means of combat. Most of the old ships have no practical value, so there is no need to restrict them."
