In the United States in 1945, the manufacturing industry had not yet been hollowed out, and the industry was still very strong.
Without Southern Africa, the United States would be the undisputed number one blue star.
The current position of the United States is very embarrassing. It has not completed the harvest of Europe with its strong industrial capabilities like in another time and space. For the United States, its mission has only been half completed.
The United States has indeed hollowed out Europe through the war, but the biggest beneficiary country is not the United States, but southern Africa. Even Russia's gains are much greater than those of the United States.
Before the World War, Russia was not accepted by the international community and had great war potential, but was locked in the Arctic Circle and unable to escape.
Although Russia was severely damaged by the war, it broke the blockade jointly set up by Britain and France, and even extended its influence to Western Europe, which was the dream of all Russian tsars.
Compared with Southern Africa, the biggest problem of the United States is that it has been separated from Europe for too long and its influence on Europe is seriously insufficient. To the extent that few European countries want the loans provided by the U.S. government. Compared with the United States, Southern Africa
conditions are more favorable.
Southern Africa not only provides money, but also provides the technology, materials, plans needed for reconstruction, and most importantly, security guarantees. This is what European countries value most.
It’s not that the United States lacks strength, but the key is that it lacks credibility.
In each of the two world wars, the United States fanned the flames before the war. After the war broke out, it had both sides. In the end, it couldn't squeeze out any profits, so it ended up personally.
Southern Africa is not much better than the United States. It earns no less money than it deserves. But the amazing thing is that European countries trust Southern Africa much more than the United States.
"The Americas are the Americas of the United States, Africa is the Africa of southern Africa, and Europe should also be the Europe of Europeans. We cannot completely fall to a certain country." Winston said earnestly at Charles de Gaulle's official residence in Paris.
After walking around from Pretoria to Washington, Winston discovered that the country most likely to join forces with Britain was actually France.
Although there are constant conflicts between Britain and France, they are generally cooperative. In many key areas, the interests of Britain and France are consistent.
For example, on the colonial issue.
After Roosevelt's funeral, Truman reiterated in Washington the Fourteen Points proposed by Wilson after World War I, regarding reduction of armaments, free trade, and the correct handling of colonial issues, hoping to use this as the basis for rebuilding the international system after the war.
Twenty-seven years have passed since Wilson proposed the "Fourteen Points." The Fourteen Points proposed by Wilson became an international laughing stock because of their impracticality. As a result, the United States did not even join the League of Nations and picked up the Monroe Doctrine again, starting a new era.
reincarnation.
Looking back now, the United States' isolation from the League of Nations system was the League's biggest failure and also paved the way for the outbreak of World War II.
Wilson put forward the Fourteen Points with a very clear purpose: to break the world system established by Britain and France, maximize the industrial advantages of the United States, and then reshape the international system led by the United States.
Britain and France were proud of themselves for excluding the United States from the League of Nations.
Unexpectedly, the United States did not follow the script given by Britain and France, but completely broke the dominance of Britain and France through World War II.
At the end of the last world war, Wilson proposed the Fourteen Points and was ridiculed by everyone.
This time Truman reiterated the Fourteen Points, but Winston and De Gaulle were powerless.
The "Fourteen Points" proposed by Truman were in-depth based on Wilson's work, especially the parts about free trade and colonial issues, which were supported by southern Africa.
27 years ago, Southern Africa did not have the ability to challenge Britain and France, nor did the United States. At that time, the British and French colonial systems were still monolithic and could not be leveraged at all.
At that time, Roque was not the Prime Minister of Southern Africa and was not capable of making decisions on behalf of Southern Africa.
Now that Southern Africa and the United States have joined forces, they already have the ability to overthrow Britain and France, so after returning to Pretoria, Roque clearly expressed his support for the "Fourteen Points".
Without the support of Southern Africa, Winston would still have the confidence to suppress the ambitions of the United States. Even with the cooperation of Southern Africa, Winston would have the confidence to drive the United States back to the Americas.
Now with the support of southern Africa, Winston is alone and needs a reliable ally.
Then Winston sadly discovered that the most reliable one was actually France.
"France and the British Empire both have huge overseas colonies. It is precisely because of the benefits conveyed by the colonies that Britain and France can maintain their due international status. Now it is obvious that someone is replacing Germany and becoming a challenger to the international order.
, we have no way to retreat. If we lose our overseas colonies, the British Empire and France will become a third-rate country like Spain or Italy." Winston really did not fool de Gaulle this time. The situation is really as dangerous as he said.
, if you are not careful, you will never recover.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the situation is far from as serious as you said. What's more, we are still allies now -" De Gaulle was weird. It wasn't that he didn't realize it, but that Britain had stabbed him in the back too many times, and France had already done so.
A better choice.
Britain only established an alliance with France after the Second Boer War, when its national power was greatly weakened and coupled with the threat of Germany.
This relationship is not strong. Although Britain sent expeditionary forces during the two world wars, it was also prepared to abandon France at any time and return to the British Isles.
During World War I, the situation was not serious enough to abandon France, and Britain's purpose was not exposed.
No one expected that after the outbreak of World War II, Germany's offensive power would be so strong. Britain simply failed to fulfill its promise and took the initiative to evacuate from Dunkirk at the beginning of the war. This also became an important factor in France's rapid defeat.
If Britain's evil deeds ended here, de Gaulle could barely accept it. He was not an unreasonable person. If it were him, he would make the same decision.
What made de Gaulle completely disappointed with Britain was Britain's attitude towards Free France.
When Free France was established, the United Kingdom not only refused to recognize it, but also kept the French troops that had withdrawn from Dunkirk to the British mainland to assist in the defense. If Southern Africa had not come to help, De Gaulle would not have been able to save North Africa.
In such a Britain, de Gaulle would never dare to show his back.
"I know your agreement with the Southern Africans, and you should also know that Locke and I are good friends, old friends for decades. We have known each other since the Boer War, and our relationship continues to this day, but the relationship between us
relations will definitely not affect the relationship between southern Africa and the British Empire." Winston distinguished between public and private affairs, and also hoped that de Gaulle could distinguish between right and wrong on major issues.
"Is Britain capable and willing to help France rebuild?" De Gaulle asked the most critical question.
For France now, security is not the most important issue, reconstruction is.
The biggest source of threats to France has disappeared. The threats from Britain and Russia are potential. De Gaulle believed that if a war broke out between France and Britain and Russia, Southern Africa would never sit idly by.
For the French, they don't really care whether the foreign troops stationed in France are Southern Africans or Germans.
The key is who can provide them with tangible benefits.
This is what the French really care about.
"Of course!" Winston vowed.
De Gaulle was unmoved and watched Winston's performance quietly with a sneer on his lips.
The UK may have the ability, but it definitely has no will.
Although Britain suffered heavy losses in the war, it still has the ability to sort out its assets and rebuild after the war. The key lies in whether it is willing or not.
There is a saying in later generations: Your friends want you to live well, but you cannot be better than them.
France was once occupied during the war and suffered much greater losses than Britain. The funds required for reconstruction were astronomical and may take decades.
If De Gaulle listens to Winston and unites with the United Kingdom to close the market to southern Africa and the United States, then it will be the British who have the final say on how much they can give. This kind of thing cannot be written in black and white.
It's useless to write in black and white. The biggest impact of World War II on the world was to completely destroy the country's credibility.
From this perspective, international relations indeed need to be rebuilt.
"If we don't do something, Europe will have no choice but to become a vassal of Southern Africa and the United States in the near future. It will be at the forefront of the fight against Russia, sandwiched between Russia and Southern Africa, and the United States will be attacked from both sides. By then we will
What should I do?" Winston also has a sharp tongue, and he understands human nature.
France has always been known as the most "democratic and free" country, and the French are proud of it.
If the situation described by Winston occurs, while France will lose its democracy and freedom, de Gaulle will also lose the support of the French people.
Well, regarding the latter point, it has actually already happened.
France is indeed democratic and free. The French are grateful to de Gaulle, but they are only grateful and have not yet reached an irreplaceable level.
De Gaulle was a former soldier and had been fighting wars while leading the Free France. At least so far, De Gaulle has not had much outstanding performance in governing the country.
Compared with France's political veterans, de Gaulle is a poor novice. How can such a person lead France back to its peak?
"Prime Minister, if the Communist International can lead France back to its peak, then I won't mind if France becomes a country on the Russian model." De Gaulle's love for France has transcended belief.
"Are you serious?" Winston couldn't believe it. He never made any secret of his hatred of the Russian model.
"Of course, if France can return to its peak, I am willing to retire on the spot, go back to my hometown to buy a vineyard, go fishing, go hunting with my hunting dogs, and go home to have a barbecue with my family in the evening, drink some home-brewed wine, and we will eat
Meat, hounds gnawing bones -" De Gaulle was fascinated. Compared with the turbulent Paris, De Gaulle truly envied the pastoral life.
"May your dreams come true -" Winston glared at de Gaulle fiercely, just like the look in the famous photo.
"Thank you!" De Gaulle accepted Winston's blessing with a smile.
It doesn't matter whether the eyes are fierce or not, it can make Winston feel embarrassed, and de Gaulle feels that he should have a drink at night.
When leaving De Gaulle's official residence, Winston was not disappointed.
It should be said that Winston did not have much hope for de Gaulle.
Without de Gaulle, Winston had other options.
Even de Gaulle is not considered the best choice, because in Paris opinion polls, most people are not optimistic about de Gaulle's election.
The two most powerful people in the French Provisional Government, besides de Gaulle, were Reynard.
There is no need to look for Leonard. His relationship with Southern Africa is unbreakable. He is the biggest representative of Southern Africa's interests in France. If Leonard changes his nationality to Southern Africa tomorrow, Winston will not be surprised at all.
The No. 3 figure is Felix Guin, the interim speaker of parliament who was born in the Comintern.
There is no need to look for this person. Winston is worried that after seeing him, he will be tempted to beat him with a cane.
Some people hate the Communist International, while others like it.
Just when Winston was thinking about who to go to next, Felix Guin also welcomed his guest.
Felix Guin's guest was none other than Winston's biggest rival in the UK, Clement Attlee, leader of the British Labor Party.
Winston does not yet know that the British Labor Party led by Clement Attlee is about to withdraw from the coalition cabinet and launch a general attack on Winston.
According to Winston's plan, Britain should hold a general election after the war. At that time, Winston, who led Britain to victory in World War II, was confident of defeating any competitor.
Attlee didn't want to let Winston get his wish. He didn't even want to wait for the war to end, for the same reason that Winston wanted.
Once the war is over, Winston will have the most dazzling aura. At that time, if Attlee wants to unseat Winston, he will have to make more efforts.
Now is the best time.
"We might as well unite and hold general elections at the same time, so that we can respond to each other. If we win at the same time, we will dominate the world." Attlee did not mention a word at this time. The British Labor Party and the French Workers' International were completely different things.
Compared with the French Workers' International, the British Labor Party is just selling sheep over dogs, with only one front.
The pretense also has value. After all, under the banner of "workers", Attlee came to France hoping to get the support of the Workers' International, so that Attlee would be more confident in defeating Winston.
"France is a democratic and free country and has no interest in dominating the world -" Felix Gouin was lukewarm and did not respond much to Attlee's enthusiasm.
Unlike the British Labor Party, the French Workers International is an organization that truly represents the interests of French workers. Felix Gouin has little interest in British hypocrisy. Even without the support of the British Labor Party, Felix Gouin is confident of defeating de Gaulle.
After all, how much of a threat can a political amateur pose?
