{} "You are going to join this war? Why is this?" After taking a deep breath, Wu Shaoting asked seriously. "

In fact, this question is a bit unnecessary for him, because he has already guessed some of the probable reasons. Not to mention the so-called high-sounding reasons for "weaking the allies and strengthening the Allies", but only the United States has purchased a large number of war bonds from the Allies before, and these bonds are still valid. If there is a chance to exchange them, it is of course the best.

In addition, the "global policy" of the German Empire also had a great impact on the United States.

If we say that the "global policy" of the German Empire had not been popularized before, and it only implemented this power expansionism in Europe and Africa and other regions, it would not have much impact on the United States. However, judging from the series of hegemonic policies adopted by Germany in China, it is not difficult for American diplomats to realize that Germany is truly trying to promote this power expansionism around the world.

Instead of waiting for Germany to pose a huge threat, it is better to take the opportunity to take the initiative and deal with Germany in a tit-for-tat way.

However, for Wu Shaoting, he now not only needs to figure out all the intentions of the United States, but also know what the United States will do after joining the Allies. Only in this way can we ensure that China will not be betrayal or inexplicably lose benefits in the "Washington Plan".

"You are very clear about this principle, Master, you are very clear. Only when a new force joins the Allied Power can you give the Allied Powers confidence from top to bottom and keep them hope to continue fighting. Supporting the Allied Powers does not want to weaken the Allied Powers as simple as supporting the Allied Powers. After all, the Allied Powers have long been trapped in the atmosphere of despair of war. We not only need to instigate the rulers of the Allied Powers, but also to inspire the soldiers and people of the Allied Powers." Lai Yinshi said slowly.

"I understand what you mean, but I can't understand how you will develop war business opportunities at that time. If I'm right, your country's arms merchants are now interested in ways to make profits from both ends. If you join the Allies, then there must be some restrictions on arms foreign trade, otherwise it will be easy for people to find flaws." Wu Shaoting said.

"This aspect is actually very simple. We have already secretly established overseas companies in Switzerland, Finland and other countries. At that time, arms trade can be operated through these overseas companies. Not only that, as partners, your country can also provide considerable help in this regard. Of course, we will inevitably arrange reasonable returns for the help you provide." Jackson took over and explained.

Wu Shaoting nodded slowly. If it were to sell arms to both the Allies and the Allies simply through overseas companies, it would be a very troublesome thing. After all, commercial spies can find out where the goods from overseas companies come from by just conducting a little in-depth investigation. Even if the United States has its own set of rhetoric at that time, for the Allies and the Allies, it will completely leave a deep-rooted speculative impression.

Of course, how to do all this, he knew that the United States could not tell him everything, and he could not care about so many other parties' affairs. In fact, if the United States really wanted to join the Allied Power, it had solved many problems of China's worries, such as any changes in the United States, or letting China be a scapegoat.

Once the United States joins the Allies, the world war will naturally continue to fight, and no one cares about China's choice to withdraw from the Allies at this time.

However, there was another new question before Wu Shaoting, and he asked: "Mr. Ambassador, I must ask another question. I hope you can answer me honestly. According to the original idea of ​​the Washington Plan, if this world war continues successfully, which will the US government hope to win in the end?"

This is an obvious question, but Lai Yinshi heard another meaning from it.

Wu Shaoting's purpose of asking knowingly was to give the United States a reminder that China can completely gain more benefits after the victory of the allies. If it becomes an Allies, how should the US government ensure that China's interests will not be damaged?

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that since Sino-US cooperation is naturally a win-win cooperation. No matter which side wins the final victory of this war, since your country is out of the matter, your political influence will certainly not be too great, but in terms of actual profits, it is guaranteed to have something satisfactory." Lai Yinshi said seriously.

"If this is the case, I think we have reached a preliminary consensus." Wu Shaoting nodded slowly and said.

"I am very pleased to hear your Excellency the Head of State reply." Lai Yinshi said with a smile.

In the next few hours, China and the United States held detailed discussions in the conference room.

The Washington Plan is a huge and complex plan. What Wu Shaoting and Lai Yinshi talked about before was just a premise for China and the United States to cooperate. When the specific details of the conversation were that Gu Weijun, Lu Jianzhang and others, the US ambassador and the business counselor, did not dare to take it lightly. Since it was a cooperation, many terms must be clearly divided, just like a contract fit, the two sides were almost at the point of being able to compete for their own right.

During the first talks, China and the United States determined the formal cooperation relationship and also discussed the time to start the implementation of the plan.

China promised the United States that it would announce its withdrawal from the Allies within one month, but the premise was that the United States must transfer a batch of arms worth $30 million to China in advance and keep it on its custody. Before this batch of arms was officially put into the European market, it was the "hostages" mortgaged to China by the United States. Once the United States reneged on its word or violated the cooperation treaty, China would confiscate the materials without hesitation.

As for the United States, it began to conduct secret talks with the Allies since the end of August, released relevant information to the Allies, and formally established a strategic diplomatic and cooperative relationship with the Allies within fifteen days after China announced its withdrawal from the Allies' camp.

This talk is not all about Washington's plan, but due to time, we can only talk about this first.

After the talks, Lai Yinshi and Gu Weijun agreed that the second talks would be scheduled three days later. Although the two sides now plan to catch up with the process for Washington, if China and the United States meet too frequently, it will easily attract the attention of international spies.

In the next half month, Wu Shaoting was given full power to Gu Weijun, Lu Jianzhang and others to take charge of the matter of continuing contact with the Americans. As for him, he still has other important official duties to deal with. Not only how to break away from the Allies, but also the political means after the announcement of withdrawal, these must be considered in detail. In addition, he will not focus all his attention on the Washington plan. It can only be said that the main body of the Washington plan is still the United States, and China plays a role in this plan as a participant and a helper.

On August 22, Cai E finally handled all military affairs in the three northeastern provinces and North Korea and returned to Nanjing from Fengtian.

Wu Shaoting met Cai E that afternoon and discussed with Cai E the current threat to Germany by the Republic of China regime, and also vaguely mentioned some things about Washington's plan.

Before this, although Cai E was in the three northeastern provinces and traveled between North Korea, and my love ended in Ryukyu, "The two places were gone, but he still had a certain understanding of the situation in Germany. After all, the War Situation Bureau and the Commander Command shared information sources. Regarding the Germans' "**yin plan", he had always thought about the relative solutions.

This time Wu Shaoting mentioned his withdrawal from the Allied camp, and Cai E did not immediately make a statement about this. He knew that China and the United States were conducting some secret talks, and China's withdrawal from the Allied camp must be related to this matter. However, his consideration was not on international diplomatic politics, but whether this matter was beneficial to respond to the German threat.

Wu Shaoting said to Cai E: "International diplomatic politics is the real unpredictable. A few years ago, China-Germany relations were very good, but in the blink of an eye, there were many contradictions. After all, it was still one sentence. We want complete sovereignty, while Germany wants more hegemony. This is the fundamental reason for the contradiction between China and Germany."

Cai E nodded slightly and said, "This is not difficult to understand. It's just the head of state. This time we have had a quarrel with Germany and cooperated with the United States. However, the United States has always been a mercantilist country. They are profit-oriented, but they are afraid that China will be betrayed by the Americans if they don't do it well."

Wu Shaoting said: "I have not thought about what you said. I have always been worried about the speculative thoughts of Americans. In their eyes, there will be no 100% of allies. They will always consider the interests. But no matter what, since we are going to break with Germany, it is still a bit difficult to rely on our own country alone. It is rare that we have certain interests in common with the United States now, so we naturally have to cooperate with the Americans first."

Cai E pondered for a moment, then said, "Even so, we must be careful. I doubt the Americans' minds. Perhaps once there is a mistake in this cooperation plan, Americans will definitely try their best to put the blame on our China, and it will be difficult to deal with it."

Wu Shaoting took a deep breath, and said in a far-sighted tone: "What I worry most about now is not the mistakes in the plan. After all, if something happens, it will also be a heavy blow to the Americans. I think they will not let this plan be ruined easily in the face of interests. You must know that the investment in this plan is not small. If there is a mistake, the losses of the United States will definitely be very heavy."

Cai E nodded in agreement. He didn't say anything, but knew that Wu Shaoting had the following words, so he waited for a while.

"What I'm most worried about now," Wu Shaoting said again after pausing, "that is, China withdrew from the Allies' camp and withdrew on the grounds of conflict with Germany. At that time, there will be disputes with the entire Allies' camp. What's more, we offended the British in South Asia before, and I'm afraid that both sides will be unpleasant at that time."

"Actually," Cai E said thoughtfully, "the head of state has such concerns, and is still worried that China is not strong enough and cannot compete with the Western powers in diplomatic politics. After all, if China has enough strength, there is no need to worry about so much. If we want to get rid of Germany, we can get rid of Germany. Maybe it will make the Allies feel relieved and resolve the contradiction between us and the Allies."

"You are right, it is precisely because our China is not strong, the allies look down on us, and the Allies look down on us. Even the United States has come together because of common interests. But then again, the national strength of a country cannot be improved by just talking casually. The seven-year development plan I formulated is just the first step to developing national strength, and it even requires the efforts of the next generation to completely strengthen our China's national strength." Wu Shaoting said deeply.

"If this is the case, it may be possible to create an illusion to mihuo the Westerners." Cai E suddenly said.

"Create an illusion... Brother Songpo, what do you mean?" Wu Shaoting asked in confusion.

"If we do it according to my wishes, we can hold a large military parade to show the powerful military powers of the Republic of China to the world." Cai E said with the answer.

Wu Shaoting thought about it. Most of the military parades from ancient times to the present are to publicize the country's military power to the outside world to deter potential enemies. Of course, he believes that China's current military strength is not weak. Even if it is not ranked among the top ten in the world, it can at least reach the top fifteen. What's more, China's military technology can be said to have reached the level of advanced world, such as aviation battleships, second-generation fighter jets and many other technologies that have been successfully studied, which are enough to shock the world.

Of course, if you simply consider technical confidentiality, there is no need for this.

After all, many of China's technologies are cooperated with foreign countries, especially Germany. Basically, most of the military technologies developed by China are shared with Germany. I believe that scientific and technological spies from various countries have long been sniffed.

Where China's real weak strength is the backwardness in the national economic foundation and education. In other words, China can compete with the great powers in strategic and tactical terms, but it does not have a strong enough logistical foundation to ensure continuous combat.

A large military parade to show China's military strength and military qualities to diplomacy can just cover up the weak side of logistics and show the advantageous side as much as possible.

In addition, what Cai E said was to create an illusion, and he could bluff during the military parade, and even some weapons that China has not yet developed successfully or are not practical can be used as a facade. The purpose is to make foreigners mistakenly believe that China has very powerful technological power, and even if it cannot launch a war on the outside, it is still more than enough to defend its territory.

"This is really a solution. Brother Songpo, do you have any plans for this?" Wu Shaoting asked.

"This is just an idea that I just remembered. As for the specific plan, it may still be considered in the long run. However, since it is to create a momentum and make Western powers dare not underestimate our China, we must promote it in some weak places, such as our Chinese navy, and logistics supply." Cai E said with a note.

"The Navy has no problem. After all, the Pacific Fleet is quite good and can participate in the military parade. But how should you reflect the logistics supply capacity you mentioned?" Wu Shaoting asked.

"We can allow some logistics transport vehicles, airships and speedboats to participate in the military parade to show our more advanced transportation capabilities." Cai E said after thinking about it.

"In this case... it's too one-sided. Logistics is not just transportation." Wu Shaoting murmured to himself. He knew that the Western powers were not fools, and the logistics transportation capacity was just a silhouette, and he could not see the aspects of the later-stage security force from it.

"In short, as long as the head of state gives an order for this matter, I will definitely negotiate in detail with the Ministry of Land and Defense, and try to be the best and most effective." Cai E said.

"Okay, you do it first, this matter will never be harmful." Wu Shaoting nodded deeply and said.

[The recent updates will be reduced. This book should be close to the end, so I have to conceive the content of the new book. I have to say that the Warlord book is the longest book I have ever written. It is inevitable that I will feel exhausted when I write it at the end. I hope you can include it. I also hope you can continue to support it!]
