"The talk broke again?" Facing Dulles' report, Dewey was speechless and didn't know what to say.

In mid-May, with the war in Hawaii coming to an end, Japan and the United States once again negotiated the issue of peace through third countries. Due to the strong suppression of Hori Teiki, the conditions for Japan to be offered this time are not as harsh as last time. However, since the battlefield situation is better than last time, we can only slightly lower our psychological expectations. The most important thing is three points:

First, the United States either gives it to Hawaii or New Zealand, and at least one of both;

Second, the $50 billion compensation cannot be lower;

Third, Japan's debts owed to Germany have accumulated to more than 36 billion US dollars. Japan requires the United States to resolve the issue, whether the United States pays money or other exchanges of interests with Germany, in short, the United States needs to resolve the issue.

These three conditions are the lowest conditions that the top leaders of the base camp can accept. If it weren't for the situation of Hori Teiki's connection, the army's center was unwilling to accept this result. No matter how low the request was, Hori Teiki could not agree. If he agreed, the navy would not be able to settle down.

The conditions given by Dulles are naturally worse:

First, the United States has paid $20 billion to redeem Hawaii, and Japan has promised that it will not deal with Australia and will take a new move;

Second, the United States agreed to provide a loan of $40 billion to help Japan pay off its debts, but the loan term is only 20 years, with an annual interest rate of 1% in the United States defined it as a business practice.

There are actually some differences in opinions and differences between the two sides, but New Zealand or Hawaii and the United States do not agree to give them to Japan. Some people originally agreed to Japan's control of New Zealand as a guarantee of peace. This suggestion led by Turner was echoed by many people, but Dulles firmly opposed it. Considering that the impact was too bad, it was left unresolved.

Clark asked: "Have you told the Japanese that if they want New Zealand so much, let them attack by themselves, and if they fight, wouldn't it be better if they fight?"

Dulles was very upset, but answered: "The Japanese said that if they conquer New Zealand, then Hawaii would take other territory or claim 1,000 tons of gold."

It is obviously impossible to give out 1,000 tons of gold. Although 1,000 tons of gold is not worth 50 billion US dollars on the surface, other materials can now be filled with 50 billion US dollars at will. However, gold is a currency hegemony and cannot be simply handed over, so it is stuck here. There are certain differences between Japan and the United States on other terms, but the main conditions cannot be reached, and the details and conditions are not in the same mood.

Of course, some small agreements were reached. The Hawaiian defenders and civilians who fell into Japan as a peaceful and sincere manner, allowed the United States to redeem them. The redemption was in the order of wounded and sick first, followed by civilians and then officers and soldiers. The price was $4,000 per person. The Americans gritted their teeth and agreed, and this ticket alone was hundreds of millions of dollars.

It could have been a little bit more talked about, but after the plan of "Gaobao Strange Man" was sent to Tokyo by Kerr, the situation changed dramatically. The base camp, especially the army center, began to become more active again. Hori Teki knew this and couldn't directly refute it. The relationship between him and Kerr became embarrassing. Now Germany is involved in military affairs and desperately destroying the peace talks between Japan and the United States. Hori Teki hopes to eliminate interference from Germany, but he cannot completely give up the alliance with Germany, so he has begun to stalemate. However, there is one thing that Hori Teki is sober: Germany can make trouble for Japan-US relations, but Japan does not have the ability to make trouble for the US-German relations, so he can't even make trouble for him.

The negotiations on Germany were also very unsuccessful, and Germany had high requirements for opening. Especially after Ribbentrop knew that the European joint exercises and the "Gaoburger Strange Man" plan caused a considerable deterrence to the United States, he was even more imposing during the negotiations and refused to give in at all. Dulles clearly had the ability to negotiate diplomaticly, but he could not get hard because of the unfavorable battlefield situation. Especially when the Venezuela war was in a bad position, his situation was even more embarrassing.

By June 2, although the German-US negotiations had not broken down, they were on the verge of breaking down. Because Germany defeated all the US troops in Venezuela and occupied the area intact, the only US stronghold in South America was left in Recife, and the situation in Recife was also very bad. On the one hand, Germany used aircraft and rockets from time to time to carry out air strikes, and on the other hand, Denitz's U-boat troops blocked the US supply line tightly, making the US military in Recife very sad.

Hoffman was very interested in the way the US military redeemed Hawaiian prisoners of war and desperately fought. He had offered a price of $6,000 per agreed to the US military retreat on the condition that all the equipment was left. Turner thought it was acceptable, but MacArthur expressed his opposition to stand on the standpoint of pure military personnel. If these people put down their weapons and surrendered and then redeemed, they had lost their spirit. This was not the Dunkirk retreat, it was a military miracle, an independent act, and redemption was completely passive. Judging from the situation of the Battle of Hawaii, as long as there was a little noise, the morale of the army would be completely destroyed. Moreover, Li Qiwei also restrained at least 150,000 German troops in Recife. Once the Germans were allowed to free up these 150,000 troops, China, the United States and the Caribbean would be completely destroyed.

"The problem now is that the Battle of Bermuda, which was originally scheduled to be launched in June, faces variables." Nimitz's wry smile revealed the current very dangerous situation.

With Germany using v3 and v4 rockets frequently raiding the three nearest main shipyards on the east coast, the United States faces a very difficult situation. It was originally scheduled to be completed in May, and the two Essex-class ships that were put into service in June were greeted by the German army. It would take at least 2 months to repair it. The construction of other warships was also under great threat. It was originally the minimum requirement to build two Essex-class aircraft carriers in a month. Now, due to the need to defend and protect shipyard workers at night, night construction has been suspended. Although this blocked the mouths of demonstrators, it also slowed down the construction speed. What's worse, the Pissachek Bay near Virginia was originally the area where the Navy conducted trial sailings for new warships, but it became difficult because of the German fire blockade.

So far, the United States has only five regular aircraft carriers, and the Bermuda Squadron also has five regular aircraft carriers. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to launch a counterattack against Bermuda in June. In Clark's statement, it is difficult for the US Army, which does not have air and sea control, to seize the island. Unless it intends to continue to die, the problem of death is not so simple. If a person dies, he can send troops from Costa Rica to continuously attack Panama, rather than counterattack with a rocket of initial scale. Although the US rocket forces already have certain practical combat capabilities, Panama's ability to resist rockets is obviously much greater than that of the United States' estimates. The German army completely ignores the threat of rockets and still fights hard, which makes the US military frightened.

Now that the negotiation table cannot be reached, and it cannot be defeated on the battlefield, the Joint Conference is at a loss
Chapter completed!
