Chapter 1055
Berlin quickly responded to the Maple Leaf Country’s overture.
Foreign Education Minister Ribbentrop personally took an airship to North America and went to the capital of the Maple Leaf Country to meet with the Prime Minister of the Maple Leaf Country.
The day this news was released, it caused a sensation around the world.
The Maple Leaf Country announced its separation from the British Empire, and the Third Reich announced that it would send the Minister of Foreign Education to pay an official visit to the Maple Leaf Country. To say that there is no connection between the two, no one would believe it!
Everyone speculated that the actions of the Maple Leaf Country must have touched the Third Reich, so this visit was facilitated.
However, in order to get Ribbentrop to come in person, the Maple Leaf Country must have bleed heavily. It is definitely not enough to just separate from the British Empire. They must at least come up with something else!
But, what does the Maple Leaf Country have that the Third Reich is interested in?
“Ribbentrop is coming, how should we receive him?”
Just when the eyes of the whole world were attracted by this matter, a meeting on how to entertain Ribbentrop and how to deal with the harsh conditions that Ribbentrop might mention in the talks was being held intensely inside the Maple Leaf Country!
Everyone in the Maple Leaf Country knew very well that this was the best opportunity for them to exchange for peace.
If they missed this opportunity, they might not have such an opportunity again in the future.
Once the negotiations broke down, after solving the Eagle Sauce, the German army would most likely continue to move north and destroy them.
A superpower as strong as the Eagle Sauce could not last long in the face of the German offensive.
The Maple Leaf Country was far less powerful than the Eagle Sauce.
If they were attacked by the German army, they would probably be quickly destroyed!
After all, judging from the current population distribution of the Maple Leaf Country, as long as the German army occupied their cities near the border area, they could basically declare that their country had been destroyed! Compared with being destroyed by the German army, agreeing to some conditions of the Third Reich in exchange for peace was a good deal no matter how you looked at it!
However, the problem now was that even the people of the Maple Leaf Country themselves did not know what they had that the Third Reich valued!
“Market and resources!”
Faced with his student’s inquiry, Ribbentrop did not hide his shortcomings at all, and told the other party the purpose of his trip very frankly!
Although the population of the Maple Leaf Country is not large, it is at least more than 10 million. At this time, the world’s population is only about 2 billion. It is no problem for a population of more than 10 million to rank in the top 20 in the world. There are many countries in Europe with a smaller population than this!
Therefore, as a consumer market, although the market size of the Maple Leaf Country is not large, if it can be opened up, it will be of great benefit to the sales of the empire’s industrial products!
As for resources, this is also very important to the Third Reich.
Although the Third Reich can obtain a lot of resources in Europe and Africa, they don’t have to obtain resources from the Maple Leaf Country in North America.
However, after conquering the Eagle Sauce After that, the situation is completely different. The Eagle Sauce itself has a large population and a good industrial base. After controlling it, the Empire will certainly continue to develop the Eagle Sauce’s industry.
If the Eagle Sauce’s industry is to operate, it needs to rely on the resources of the Maple Leaf Country. After all, the American continent is isolated overseas and is not close to Europe, Asia, and Africa. In this case, the fastest and cheapest way to obtain resources is to buy them from neighboring countries!
And coincidentally, the reserves of many minerals in the Maple Leaf Country are among the best in the world!
For example, potash mines. The Maple Leaf Country’s reserves are as high as 4.5 billion tons, ranking first in the world!
Potash mines are not only important raw materials for fertilizers, but also indispensable in the medical field!
In addition, the Maple Leaf Country’s uranium reserves are also very high. Their uranium reserves are as high as 440,000 tons. Ranked second in the world!
Uranium ore is not very useful at present, but in the future, especially after the success of nuclear fission reaction, uranium ore will be more useful!
At that time, these uranium ores can be used to produce and manufacture nuclear weapons to increase the deterrence and killing capabilities against the enemy. It can also be used to develop civilian nuclear energy, build nuclear power plants, and set up nuclear power generating units. It can also be used to build nuclear submarines, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and other nuclear-powered ships!
In addition, Maple Leaf Country’s tungsten (260,000 tons, second), cadmium (550,000 tons, third), nickel (4.9 million tons, fourth), lead (2 million tons, fifth), etc. are all among the best in the world!
Almost all of these materials are important materials needed for industrial production!
Therefore, let Maple Leaf Country become the resource library of the empire and provide sources for the industrialization development of the empire. Continuous assistance is still very important for the empire!
The climatic conditions in Maple Leaf Country are very bad. Most of the Third Reich’s energy in North America is invested in Eagle Sauce. It is impossible to spend more energy on the development and construction of Maple Leaf Country!
Therefore, maintaining the independence of Maple Leaf Country, letting them act as coolies, and providing the Third Reich with all kinds of resources needed by the Third Reich, this is a very cost-effective deal!
Of course, Ribbentrop wants to achieve far more than these two things!
He also wants Maple Leaf Country to become the younger brother and follower of the Third Reich, and let the German army control the army and finance of Maple Leaf Country. In this way, from the perspective of people’s livelihood, finance and military, the Third Reich can form a firm control over Maple Leaf Country, which is of great significance to maintaining the stability of the situation in North America!
Just as Maple Leaf Country was nervously preparing for Ribbentrop’s welcome ceremony and preparing to welcome his arrival.
Thousands of miles away in the capital of the sun that never sets, in the city of New Fog, the senior officials of the sun that never sets all had a sad face!
“How is it?���No response?”
Although the Maple Leaf Country’s betrayal made them furious, the British wanted to tear the traitor of the Maple Leaf Country apart with their bare hands.
However, after losing the navy, they could no longer cross the ocean to North America to deal with the other party!
What’s more terrible is that because of the Maple Leaf Country’s betrayal, many of the British’s younger brothers began to stir up trouble. Some countries even began to refuse to provide various materials to the British, and some even simply ignored the British’s requests!
Although these countries have not officially announced to the world like the Maple Leaf Country, announcing their separation from the British’s rule.
