Chapter 767 The Cairo Conference of the Axis Powers - Three Heroes and Five Permanent Members

On Roda Island in the Nile River, protected by majestic and solemn tall walls, is the splendid Muhammad Ali Palace. The great leader of the new Roman Empire, Mussolini, is now lying here. He is wearing a straight fascist black shirt military uniform, surrounded by a large number of Roman Empire dignitaries in straight uniforms, in a marble building surrounded by brass columns and arches. A banquet was held in the hall to solemnly entertain visiting Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Foreign Minister Tani Masayuki and Marine Minister Isoroku Yamamoto.

In sharp contrast to the indifference of Germany was the enthusiasm of the leaders of New Rome. At the banquet, Mussolini talked loudly about the new world order under the dominance of the Axis powers in the future - the Cairo Conference was probably discussing this matter.

So Mussolini had already done his homework. It seemed to him that the war would soon be won. Britain will be finished soon, and then the New Roman Empire will join Germany in helping the Romanov dynasty restore itself in Russia, and finally the isolated United States will have no choice but to succumb.

Therefore, now is the time for Axis giants like Italy to lay out their plans for the post-war world!

In the Axis camp that is bound to win, there are now three giants - Germany, New Rome and Japan!

What? And France and England? They are defeated countries, and defeated countries must run their country honestly. How can they be on an equal footing with the victorious Germany, New Rome, and Japan?

So the postwar world was led by the three giants.

Among the three countries of Germany, Japan, and Romania, Germany's current strength is definitely the strongest, but Germany's potential seems to be limited. Because the geopolitical situation in which Germany is located is not as good as New Rome and Japan.

No matter how dilapidated France, Britain and Russia are, they are still powerful countries and cannot be annexed by Germany, and Italy blocks Germany's southward expansion channel. Therefore, Germany in the future will be a European regional power with a territory of 2 million square kilometers, while the New Roman Empire spans the two continents of Europe and Africa, and can continue to expand southward. The future is very bright.

Of course, New Rome, which has a bright future, certainly cannot compete with Germany at the moment. Because Germany ruled 2 million square kilometers that had been developed, and most of the 7.5 million square kilometers owned by New Rome were barbaric land.

Therefore, the New Roman Empire must remain low-key for decades before it will usher in the most glorious era of the New Roman Empire.

However, during the decades when the New Roman Empire kept a low profile, New Rome must also play its due role in international affairs and cannot let Germany decide everything. But New Rome can't stand out alone, it must win over a few friends.

But who in this world can be the friend of New Rome?

France will definitely not do it. The French have always been jealous of Rome and want to be like Rome. Moreover, the French were beaten to the core by Germany in this world war, and they will definitely be the followers of the Germans in the future.

It is impossible for Russia, because Queen Olga's heir, Grand Duchess Kira, is the German Crown Princess. In the foreseeable future, Russia will definitely follow Germany.

As for the UK...the British and the Germans are "cousins", they say the same thing, and most of them will be followers of Germany in the future.

After Mussolini calculated for a long time, he felt that all European countries were unreliable, and the only one that could be friends with Italy was the Japanese Empire in the East.

Moreover, the Japanese Empire, like New Rome, has a bright future!

Because there are no powerful countries around the Japanese Empire, after defeating the United States, it can develop in Asia with peace of mind. Most of them can also use the opportunity of the Soviet Union's defeat to gain large territories in East and Northeast Asia. In the future, it will definitely be a great intercontinental empire that can be compared with Italy.

Therefore, Japan and Italy can become very close friends...

"No problem, no problem at all. The Roman Empire fully agrees to the request of Japanese friends!" Mussolini nodded while speaking fluent English - both Yamamoto Isoroku and Tani Masayuki spoke English very well, so Mussolini I chose to talk to Japanese guests in English.

Mussolini readily agreed to the Japanese requests for coordinated Caribbean-Pacific operations and the introduction of advanced aviation technology.

"Coordinated operations are necessary. Only in this way can we defeat the United States." Mussolini said, "As for aviation technology cooperation... We in Italy have very good aviation technology. Although we are not as good as Germany in piston engine technology, we There are also areas where we are advanced, such as our long-range heavy bombers, which are very good, and the Germans also learn from us, and we are leading in many frontier fields..."

At this point, Mussolini glanced at Italian Air Force Chief of Staff Priccolo, who immediately reminded: "We have a very advanced front-wing aircraft SS-4 (the famous seismic local fighter is in the SS-4) 4) and the Campini N.1 jet aircraft of Caproni."

Mussolini nodded, smiled and said to Yamamoto Isoroku: "We have very advanced forward-wing aircraft and jet aircraft. If you are interested, we can cooperate in research and development."

…

"General, do you want to send ground troops to participate in the battle on the British Isles? This is a very meaningful thing. It can be seen as an end to the centuries-old feud between Britain and France. In the future, France and the United Kingdom will join Germany as The three pillars of the European Community.”

Saladin Fort, in a dimly lit and somewhat gloomy restaurant (the Saladin Fort massacre occurred here, where Muhammad Ali held a banquet and killed hundreds of Mamluk military leaders), Hitler and Hersmann was entertaining the visiting French Prime Minister Darlan, who was representing France at the Cairo Conference.

The Cairo Conference was a summit meeting of the Axis Powers. It was attended not only by the heads of the "Big Three" of Germany, New Rome and Japan, but also by French Prime Minister Darlan, Prime Minister Horthy of the Kingdom of Croatia and Hungary, and Prime Minister Antonescu of Romania. , King Boris III of Bulgaria and others.

And French Prime Minister Darlan is of course a very important figure among them!

Although the French Republic is not as big as the New Roman Empire on the map, in terms of industrial strength and military power, it is actually far greater than Italy.

So during dinner, Hessmann very enthusiastically invited the French army to participate in the Battle of Britain. It was not to allow the French to gain any benefits from Britain, but to fulfill France's long-cherished wish to conquer England. For the Pétain-Darlan authorities, this was also a matter of great pride.

"Marshal Reich, do you say that Britain will become the pillar of the European Community with us in the future?" Darlan spoke less fluent German - now many schools in France have had their last English class, and German will become the pillar of the European community in the future. The first foreign language in many countries including France (the first foreign language in Germany will be French). As Prime Minister, Darlan also brushed up on the German he had forgotten for many years, and was now able to talk to Hessmann and Hitler.

"Of course," Hitler nodded, "Although Britain has made serious mistakes, it is still a big country. A united European community is indispensable for Britain, so we must recognize its status as a big country. It is not only Europe's It will also become the pillar of the new world order in the future.”

"What is the basis of the new world order in the future?" Darlan asked.

"It's the League of Nations mechanism," Hitler replied.

The League of Nations still exists, but it has become a tool of Germany.

Hitler went on to say: "The future Council of the League of Nations will have five permanent members, Germany, France, Great Britain, Rome and Japan."

France not only gained 3 million square kilometers of new territory (which was originally a French colony), but also gained the status of the five permanent members of the League of Nations. Although it cannot be compared with Germany, it can be on an equal footing with New Rome and Japan.

The Germans are quite generous!

If Darlan was still dissatisfied, he would be shameless. He quickly smiled and said: "Leader, Marshal of the Empire, we France will send troops to participate in the Battle of Britain. We will send as many troops as you need."

Hersmann smiled and waved to Adjutant Stauffenberg, who was standing behind him, and the latter immediately handed Darlan some photos he had prepared.

"This is……"

What Darlan saw in the photos were some tanks and aircraft that he had never seen before. The appearance of the tank has simple lines and is very beautiful. The plane has no propellers and is obviously the latest jet aircraft!

"This is the E-50 tank and the Me262 jet aircraft," Hersman replied with a smile. "This is our most advanced weaponry and is still being developed and improved. We hope to work with France on the E-50 tank and the Me-262 jet aircraft. The E-50 tank and the Me-262 jet aircraft should become the standard weapons and equipment of the European Community.”

Darlan didn't seem to understand. He asked after careful consideration: "Marshal of the Empire, do you mean...that this kind of E-50 tanks and Me262 aircraft can also be produced in French factories?"

The French Prime Minister thought to himself: If the Germans are really willing to let France learn the most advanced tank and jet aircraft technology, that will be a good opportunity that cannot be refused!

"Yes," Hersman smiled. "The joint development and production of E-50 tanks and Me262 aircraft should be a new starting point. From this starting point, the European Community should produce and equip standardized weapons. Germany, France and the United Kingdom should We should follow the path of joint research and development, joint production and joint equipment. Not only should the standards of weapons be unified, but the industrial standards of all countries in the European Community should also be unified. In this regard, we must learn from the United States and develop standardization and large-scale production.”
