Chapter 1162 Gaoqibao Project - Tongde Gate

Montazah Palace, Alexandria, Egypt.

Today, Joseph Kennedy met with Rudolf Hess and Caesar of the Roman Empire with great trepidation.

Because through the U.S. Consulate General in Alexandria, Kennedy already knew about the inhumane bombing of Buenos Aires. In Kennedy's view, although this major bombing can win some bargaining chips for the United States, it may also anger the Germans and end its peaceful exploratory activities early.

But it was a bit beyond his expectation. Rudolf Hess and Mussolini seemed not to know that the capital of their South American brother, the New Asbania Federation, had been hit by many bombs. After the meeting began, this issue was not mentioned at all. It seems that the Germans are quite sincere in pursuing peace.

At the beginning of the talks, Rudolf Hess put forward a proposal to form a federal state in the post-war Caribbean region. This federal state should include all independent countries in the Caribbean, with the United States, Britain, France, and the Netherlands joining together. Caribbean colony, British colony in Central America, British Honduras.

Kennedy knew as soon as he heard that such a country would of course create difficulties for the United States. However, he did not immediately express his dissent, because in his view, the establishment of a Caribbean federation actually has two sides.

On the one hand, there is a "powerful country" around the United States, but of course it is not much stronger; on the other hand, the establishment of the Caribbean Federation also means the complete withdrawal of the European Community's power from the Caribbean - of course, the European Community is in The power in the Caribbean is fictitious, inherited from Britain, France, and the Netherlands. In fact, there are no soldiers there.

However, it is good that the European Community is willing to hand over its identity. Otherwise, if it really engages in national self-determination, God knows what the outcome will be. Do the people in places such as Trinidad, Tobago, the Bahamas, and British Honduras definitely want independence? What will happen to the United States if they vote to join the European Union?

Moreover, Hess also guaranteed that the Caribbean Federation is a neutral country - in fact, it is a buffer country, and neither the European Community nor the United States station troops on its territory. If this is true, it will not be unacceptable to the United States.

After thinking for a long time, Kennedy felt that this Caribbean federation was acceptable. But he can't make any promises now, after all, he is not the president.

"Okay, I will convey your opinions to the President (referring to Truman)." Kennedy paused and then asked, "As for the reparations...the nominal issue and the amount, is there a more reasonable plan? "

Hess's demand for reparations was for gold, silver, oil, agricultural products, livestock products and ships worth US$200 billion (1944 currency). And it must be paid within 3 months after the peace treaty is signed.

It was difficult for President Truman to accept this, and even though Truman agreed to the German demands at the risk of his collapse. It will also be difficult for Congress to pass it, unless Truman is willing to destroy the Democratic Party and make a deal with the Republican Party. But the question is, even if Truman is willing, will those members of Congress in the Democratic Party be willing? It’s not like the members of Congress were appointed by Truman...

"Joseph, the demand for compensation is not high, just 200 billion US dollars." Rudolf Hess smiled and said, "And we believe that President Truman will definitely accept it. The development of the war situation will make him realize it sooner or later. Reality. I think as an American patriot, President Truman will not lack the courage to take responsibility, right?"

What's the meaning? Kennedy thought to himself, you Germans are going to fight until Truman has a nervous breakdown and surrenders? Are they really that powerful?

He looked at Mussolini, as if he wanted to ask this old friend of the American people to speak.

"Joseph," Mussolini exaggeratedly waved his hands, "That's it...there is no need to discuss the issue of reparations. I think President Truman will accept it sooner or later. He will not let the war continue endlessly. That will only Destroy the United States. Although my German friends will not use atomic bombs to kill the American people, they can still show their power when the conditions are right, or use them on the battlefield. This kind of weapon is simply impossible for your American soldiers to fight against."

Kennedy frowned deeply, pondering over the words of Mussolini and Hess over and over in his mind - from their tone, it seemed as if they were sure of victory. However, they have no intention of further raising the asking price, and they have no intention of killing the American people with atomic bombs...

Just when he was thinking about it over and over but couldn't figure it out, Hess changed the subject and talked about the internal affairs of the United States.

"Joseph," he asked, "if President Truman takes responsibility for the defeat, does that mean he will be impeached by Congress?"

"Impeachment?" Kennedy was stunned. It was difficult to answer this question, and he was not very clear. However, in order to show the stubbornness of the "militant forces" in the United States, he nodded and said, "Yes, this possibility is very high. …It will not only be President Truman who will collapse, but also the Democratic Party!”

"Oh." Hess looked at Kennedy. "You're going to be president?"

"Under the Constitution, I will be president," Kennedy said, "but... they can also remove me."

"No, it won't." Hess shook his head and said with a smile, "We are friends, you are friends with the leader and the Roman leader."

What's the meaning? Kennedy didn't understand and just looked at Hess and Mussolini blankly.

Caesar laughed and said, "Joseph, I think we should keep in touch."

"Oh." Kennedy nodded, and suddenly felt something was wrong. "Your Excellency Caesar, do you mean...keep in touch through official channels?"

Official channels mean through the United States. For example, Kennedy went to Alexandria this time through channels. Although the talks in the Montazah Palace were secret and no American people participated - this was Mussolini's request that the talks must be conducted in complete confidentiality and no memorandums be made - but after each meeting, Kennedy had to report to the United States.

"Of course not official channels." Mussolini said, "It's private, private channels... This is not for personal interests, but for the United States."

For the United States?

Seeing that Kennedy was still very hesitant, Hess said on the side: "Joseph, I know that such a relationship does not conform to the political rules of the United States, but it is sometimes a good thing for the leaders of two countries to maintain friendship in private. For example, there is a special friendship between the Roman leader and the German leader. And the relationship between our imperial marshal and the Russian empress is also extraordinary."

This is a completely different situation. Hitler and Mussolini were originally allies, and Olga's White Russians were basically supported by Germany. Moreover, Olga's heir is the German Crown Princess, and she is a family member of Germany. It's okay for Hessman to do diplomatic work in the Queen's bed - although Junkers don't like this, the Queen or the Queen is always an exception.

The United States represented by Kennedy and Germany represented by Hess are enemies! Maintaining unofficial contact between them is collusion with the enemy, and friendship with leaders of friendly countries and the European royal circle is two different things.

Thinking of this, Kennedy was about to refuse. However, Mussolini waved his hand to stop him. Caesar of the Roman Empire said very seriously: "Joseph, my friend... We are in an era of great change, so we can no longer abide by the rules and regulations of the old era. We must make a breakthrough.

The defeat of the United States this time is inevitable! But whether it can revive or fall apart in the future is still unknown. But there is one thing I am sure of, that is, only fascism can save the United States! If the United States does not want to sink forever, it must join the world trend of fascism and become a great country like Rome and the European Community. Comrade Hitler and I are eagerly looking forward to this day. This will mean that the United States of Europe, the Roman Empire and the United States of America will become allies with common values ​​and ideals.

The world will be ours!"

Mussolini was of course good at boasting, and he fooled Kennedy with a few words.

Kennedy was silent for a while: "How should we keep in touch?"

Mussolini and Hess looked at each other, then laughed: "Rockefeller! The Rockefeller family will arrange it!"

"What? Rockefeller also..." Kennedy looked at Mussolini in surprise.

"They are my friends, and also friends of Comrade Hess!"

"Then I'm relieved." Kennedy breathed a sigh of relief, he was really relieved.

Because in the United States, except for great men like Roosevelt, most politicians are just "agents" of the rich. So this country has high requirements for politicians and low requirements for the rich. If Kennedy himself was not elected vice president, or was really in favor of Germany, no one could do anything to him. If he had to go through the judicial process, he, Kennedy, could hire a luxurious defense lawyer team. Not to mention the super rich family like the Rockefeller family.

So the FBI would not find out anything if the Rockefeller family was the middleman. Even if the FBI found out that the Rockefeller family was colluding with Rome, Hoover would not be able to bring down the Rockefeller family in a short period of time. The FBI did not have the power to judge and convict.

And...are the Rockefellers the only big financial groups colluding with Rome? I'm afraid there are more than that? Kennedy was also an insider on Wall Street. He naturally knew how many big American financial groups had invested in the Roman Empire since the US-Roman Peace Treaty in 1944. When these guys invested money in Rome, they probably became good friends with people like Mussolini and Ciano, right?
