Sitting down in the living room, Leon began to quarrel with Hiroshi Oshima.
Gradually, from Hiroshi Oshima's absent-minded dialogue and slightly eager expression, Leon understood that Hiroshi Oshima's visit was definitely not all to congratulate him, but for something else.
Leon sneered twice in his heart and asked, "Mr. Hiroshi Oshima's visit, is there anything else compared to it?"
Hiroshi Oshima breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, at least he was able to get to the point.
"Mr. Lyon, to be honest, in addition to congratulating you on this trip, I really want to ask for a German friend on behalf of the Empire of Japan." Hiroshi Oshima said with a sincere expression, and after saying this, he rolled his eyes and said again. Added, "Of course, the main purpose is to congratulate you!"
"If you have anything, you might as well say it directly." Leon replied lightly, ignoring the words behind Hiroshi Oshima.
"Hey, you must have heard that some time ago we called a hand with the Soviets in Nomonhan, and we were defeated." Hiroshi Oshima said in frustration, "Our base camp has been looking for the reason for the failure, and we have been thinking about it. I still think it's a problem with the armored troops, if we have armored troops that can compete with the Soviet Union, we will never lose the battle of Nomonhan!"
"So..." Leon touched his chin and said coldly, "Are you thinking of purchasing a batch of tanks from us? Or do you want us to directly assist you?"
"No, no, no!" Hiroshi Oshima waved his hands again and again, "How embarrassed to ask you to help? We are thinking about whether your country can form an alliance with us and join our 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Plan' to help us contain the Soviet Union's Armor power?"
Leon almost laughed when he heard the words. He thought Hiroshi Oshima's words were very funny. You would be embarrassed to directly assist you. Would you be embarrassed to let us directly confront the Soviet Union and help you attract firepower?
As expected of the Japanese!
Hiroshi Oshima understood Leon's meaning when he saw Leon's expression, and he quickly said, "Mr. Leon! Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you haven't heard the benefits of joining us!"
"Oh?!" Leon refused directly without being in a hurry. He wanted to see what the Japanese could do, "The benefits of joining you? Let's hear it!"
Seeing that Leon did not refuse, Oshima Hiroshi gave him the opportunity to continue talking, which made him extremely happy. He stood up with a ninety-degree bow: "Hayi! As long as your country joins us, we can give you a lot in the future. resource!"
resource? You, Japan, are short of it to death, and you give it to me? Leon felt even more amused.
Seeing that Leon was unmoved, Oshima Hiroshi gritted his teeth and continued to increase his weight: "After we achieve the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia, we can give part of the land in our co-prosperity sphere to German friends! The location can be chosen by you!"
Divide the land, this is a good condition, but you want to fight the British and American colonies, have you asked the British and American opinions? Leon thought.
"Sorry, let me tell the truth, forming an alliance with your country is not in line with our strategic plan. No matter how much you increase, we will not agree." After watching the molestation, Leon coldly refused.
Hiroshi Oshima was shocked. Before he came, he expected that Leon would refuse, but he did not expect that Leon would refuse so quickly and so thoroughly.
He and the top management of the base camp have always believed that not only Japan needs Germany, but Germany should also need Japan. As long as Japan adds enough code, there is no need to worry about Germany not joining, but now it seems that the situation is not as expected by himself and the base camp. That way.
"Why?" Hiroshi Oshima asked in surprise, "Why did you refuse to join the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere'? After all, the concept of the Co-Prosperity Sphere was also the first thing you told Mr. Togo Shigeru!"
Leon almost died of laughter in his heart. He wanted to tell Hiroshi Oshima directly that the reason why he would tell Togo Shigeru this was to fool Japan into attacking the British and American colonies, so as to delay the powerful American emperor and buy time for himself. .
But Lyon obviously can't say that.
"This plan is indeed in the interests of your country, and out of friendship, I told Mr. Shigeru Togo about this plan." Leon said with an expression of "I'm all for your own good", "But this does not mean that Are we going to join? This plan is in your country's interest, but not in our German interest."
"Okay." Hiroshi Oshima said frustratedly, "Since German friends don't want to join us, can we join your country's organization? I heard that German friends and Italy and other countries signed a pact of mutual aid in attack and defense."
"This..." Leon said embarrassedly, "Mr. Hiroshi Oshima, you also know that although this covenant was proposed by Germany, we Germany is only a member state in it, and we are not qualified to directly allow a certain country to join. Therefore, if your country wants to join us, all members are required. The country can only decide after discussion!"
In fact, Lyon is nonsense. In the Axis powers, except for Italy, which is arrogant (ao), other countries only follow Germany's lead. Germany says East is East, and Germany says that whoever wants to join can join, and Leon said this to Oshima Hiroshi entirely because he did not want Japan to join.
Hiroshi Oshima didn't know the internal situation of the Axis powers, so he foolishly thought that Germany had let Japan join in, but it just needed to be discussed.
This made Hiroshi Oshima very happy. Although Germany did not agree to join the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Plan", Japan's participation in the Axis powers had the same effect.
"Doo~Mo, Aunt Aligato Goza is dead!" Oshima Hao, who had just sat down again, was overjoyed, and stood up again with a standard ninety-degree bow.
Leon smiled and waved his hand, while sneering in his heart, if I told you in a few days that you couldn't come in, you could still laugh so much.
"Then I won't disturb Mr. Leon to accompany his family!" Hiroshi Oshima stood up straight after bowing and said with a smile. He was very happy after completing the task, "Then I'll go first, I wish Mr. Leon a Merry Christmas!"
Finally gone! Leon sighed in his heart, stood up at the same time, and sent Hiroshi Oshima out the door.
Watching Oshima Hiroshi's car drive farther and farther, Leon sneered again.
He sneered more times a day today than in the last month combined.
Going back to Sophia and looking at her belly, Leon returned from being a domineering head of state to a cute new dad with a look of happiness and contentment.
"Dear, what did Mr. Hiroshi Oshima find you for?" Sophia asked with great interest.
"It's nothing, I just want to join us and Mussolini's alliance." Leon waved his hand and said casually.
In his eyes now, no one is more important than his wife and children.
"Then will you agree to join them?"
"Of course not." Leon replied, "Okay, let's not talk about that, let's go back to the beginning of the topic, what name should we name this little guy?"
Said, the two were sweet and tired together, thinking about one name after another.
Everyone had a very happy Christmas this Christmas. After all, this may be the last stable Christmas for many people.
