Chapter 769 Axis Powers' Cairo Conference - Declaration

Her brows furrowed when he heard Yamamoto Isoroku propose to "open up the Caribbean battlefield".

Opening up a battlefield is not the same as launching a diversionary feint. Although Germany has now extended its claws into the back garden of the United States by entering Guyana and is still considering invading Venezuela by land, it has no intention of spreading the war to the Caribbean.

In fact, there are also differences within Germany on whether to have a war with the United States in South America.

Hitler and the Nazi Party tend to reach an agreement with the United States to circle the United States' influence in the New World of America.

Hersman, on the other hand, tends to reduce the United States' sphere of influence in the Americas as much as possible to stifle the United States' development potential.

Hersman prepared two specific plans. One is to march into Venezuela from land and fight a decisive ground battle with the US military. After winning, march into Colombia and Ecuador. Then merge Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Guyana to form a Greater Colombian Republic, and use this country to block the United States' access to South America.

Another plan is to pull Brazil into the water, using Venezuela, which is rich in oil, to lure Brazil, the largest country in South America, while the European Community continues to retain control of Guyana.

As long as Brazil is willing to join the Axis and fight against the United States together with Germany, Germany will promote the incorporation of Venezuela, an "oil-poor country", into the Brazilian Federation after conquering Venezuela.

Of course, such a fertile territory as Venezuela cannot be given to Brazil for free. This country is now the world's second largest oil producer after the United States, and it also has relatively scarce coal resources in South America, and of course rich iron ore (which Brazil has no shortage of), and the territory area is 916,000 square kilometers. If Brazil eats it, it will immediately become developed. Brazil also has to pay a certain price for this - agree to the separation of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Carina and Paraná in southern Brazil. These three states are states where German and Italian immigrants are concentrated, and they have always been in disharmony with the Brazilian government in Rio de Janeiro. Moreover, after Vargas came to power, the Brazilian Nazi Party in that area was suppressed again.

So Hersman wanted to separate these three states from Brazil, and then promote the merger of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Carina, and Paraná with Argentina, which is currently very pro-German. If possible, try to merge Uruguay and Paraguay into Argentina, and turn this Greater Argentina Federation into a place to export Europe's surplus population in the future - eventually turning it into a small Germany in South America! In this way, even if Brazil is unreliable in the end, Germany still has a German-speaking Argentina to rely on, which is a double insurance.

With the Greater Brazil Federation and the Greater Argentina Federation, South America has two relatively powerful pro-German countries. As long as these two countries can unite under the support of the European Community, they should be able to block the United States' future flexible expansion into South America.

Among the two options of supporting Greater Colombia and supporting Greater Brazil (Greater Argentina), Hersman tends to implement the second option, that is, to use Greater Brazil to fight against the US empire. Brazil, a "BRICS country", is certainly not as strong and potential as the United States, but it is still stronger than Greater Colombia.

Moreover, the current Brazilian dictator Vargas has a good relationship with Schleicher and Hitler, and also has the idea of ​​strengthening Brazil to dominate South America.

Historically, Vargas was pro-German and then pro-American during World War II, because the situation of the World War was unfavorable, and his vision was still very accurate. However, in this time and space, the situation of the World War was obviously favorable to Germany, and Vargas would naturally not turn to the United States.

So it is still a very good option to support Brazil now. Hirschmann's confidant, Admiral Stockhausen, the head of the Imperial Security Bureau, has frequently been in and out of Rio de Janeiro during this period, secretly negotiating with President Getulio Vargas on the conditions for Brazil to join the Axis.

As for controlling the Caribbean and occupying Panama, they were not in Hirschmann's plan. Relying on Brazil, fighting the United States on the land of South America is one thing, and going to the Caribbean to fight a naval battle with the American tycoons is another thing.

After the United States lost most of its control over the Atlantic, the American tycoons have been strengthening the defense of the Caribbean region. Almost all important islands have large troops and aircraft stationed, and the United States has at least 5 fleet aircraft carriers (two of which are British) available in the Atlantic. Therefore, the risk of opening up the Caribbean battlefield is very high. Once the European joint fleet is defeated in the Caribbean Sea, the United States may regain control of the Atlantic Ocean.

In this way, the plan to support the Greater Brazil Federation or establish Greater Colombia will be ruined!

"General Yamamoto, regarding the issue of the Caribbean battlefield..." Hessman spoke slowly. He already knew that the hot-headed Mussolini had agreed to open up the Caribbean battlefield. And in order to maintain the unity of the Axis powers, he couldn't deny it completely.

He said: "We believe that the Caribbean battlefield does not exist alone, but is a component of the South American battlefield. So what we need to open up next is the South American battlefield, not the Caribbean battlefield."

"Open up the South American battlefield?" Yamamoto Fifty-roku seemed to have heard something that made him excited, and immediately asked, "Imperial Marshal, is your country ready to expand its influence in South America?"

The importance of South America to the United States is definitely higher than that of Asia. Once the United States and Germany go to war in South America, the pressure on Japan will be greatly reduced. If the United States and Germany fight hard in South America, Japan may be able to negotiate peace with the United States alone, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight...

"Yes," Herschman replied, "Our goal is to limit the United States to the North American continent... South America should have its own leaders, rather than relying on the United States, the imperialist country in North America."

Are we going to have a fight with the United States? The three Japanese Japs, Tojo, Yamamoto and Tanimasa, felt a burst of joy in their hearts.

At this time, Hitler took over Hessmann's topic. He said urgently and quickly: "This Cairo Conference should come up with a victory plan and at the same time lay the foundation for the post-war world order. Considering that the United States and The Soviet Union is a continental country with a vast territory and a large population, and there is no possibility of complete destruction. Therefore... the victory plan should be to retain the United States and Russia. "

Preserving the United States is certain. Hitler and Hersman never thought about destroying the United States, and they couldn't do it. The idea of ​​retaining Russia is ambiguous. It can be either Soviet Russia or Tsarist Russia. Although Hessmann does not want to restore Tsarist Russia, many big figures in Germany are very interested in it, so Hessmann will do it. Ambiguous. In short, the land of Ukraine and Belarus must be deprived of the Soviet Union (Russia), and a castrated "Gazneft" will be retained.

Hitler stood up, waved his arms a few times, and said in an emphatic tone, "Now is the time to issue a declaration of victory. We must publicly tell everyone our Axis powers' views on victory and the post-war world. Let neutral countries and those who fight against us The people of this country all know what we want to do and what kind of new world order we want to establish, which will help us achieve victory as soon as possible.”

"Declaration of victory?" Tojo asked, "What is the content of the declaration?"

Hitler did not answer, but glanced at Foreign Minister Ribbentrop. The latter immediately handed the document drafted in Japanese and German to Tojo and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, the main content of the declaration is to stipulate the status of the United States, the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom after the war, and at the same time determine the strengthening of the League of Nations system after the war. ”

Tojo took over the draft of the declaration and read it, which read: "Prime Minister Hitler, Prime Minister Mussolini, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Prime Minister Darlan, Prime Minister Horthy, Prime Minister Antonescu, Franc The Prince Regent of Colombia, King Boris III, Marshal Mannerheim, together with military and diplomatic advisers from various countries, have held a meeting in Cairo. The meeting has been completed and we hereby issue the following summary statement:

The military personnel of the Axis countries have reached consensus on future combat plans against Britain and the United States. We, the Axis countries, are determined to use unrelenting pressure to impose brutal enemies from all aspects of the sea, land and air. This pressure is already increasing. .

The purpose of our axis countries' war this time is to relieve the oppression and exploitation of the world by the Anglo-American capital group, not to eliminate Britain, the United States and its allied countries themselves. After the oppression of the people of the world by the Anglo-American capital group is lifted, the United States will Remain intact, and all sovereignty will be inviolable; the British Isles, the Dominion of Canada, and the Dominion of Australia will still maintain the status quo, and the status quo of the Indian Empire will remain roughly the same until the British monarch and the local political forces in India reach a new consensus, and all external forces No interference.

The purpose of the Axis powers participating in the war against the Soviet Union, including Germany, France, Croatia-Hungary, and Finland, was to stop and punish the Soviet Union's aggression and oppression. In view of the misfortunes suffered by the Ukrainian and Belarusian nations under the rule of the Bolshevik Party in the Soviet Union, the axis countries that declared war on the Soviet Union unanimously decided to give the people of Ukraine and Belarus the right to choose their future destiny. As for the rest of the Soviet Union, the Axis powers agreed that a government should remain unified and respect the choice of its people.

The Axis countries participating in the war also believed that the League of Nations' intervention in international affairs should be restored and strengthened after the war, in order to maintain peace and prevent war.

Based on the goals identified above, our axis countries will persist in carrying out their major and long-term war in order to force Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union to admit defeat and abide by the reasonable order of the world. "

The draft of this declaration was written after testing the attitudes of Japan and Italy, so it only mentioned that the mainland United States remained intact - the Hawaiian Islands were not yet mainland, and the Dominion of New Zealand was taken away from the British name. It can be regarded as satisfying Japan's requirements to the greatest extent. As for whether they can hold the Hawaiian Islands and capture New Zealand, it depends on their own abilities.
