This is completely contrary to our current strategy. We have decided before that we cannot participate in the war between imperialism, so we should find ways to show our strong armed forces from other aspects."

Stalin thought for a while with his pipe in his mouth, and agreed to Zhukov's opinion:

"Then you tell me how to show our strong armed forces. Don't talk about the exercises at the Romanian border. Germany is already starting the exercises. It is very unwise for us to anger the Germans at this time. Let's talk about other methods."

Stalin's political sensitivity was very powerful. Although Stalin's command level was only equivalent to that of an infantry regiment commander, few people could catch up with Stalin's iron-blooded political skills. China's Chiang Kai-shek's command ability was only at the level of a battalion commander. It seems that Stalin is not at the bottom.

Cuikov took Stalin's words and began to talk about his thoughts:

"Comrade Stalin, since we cannot find a way on the Romanian border, we can take action against the three countries of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. These three small Baltic countries have a large number of coastlines and will also be used by us. To deal with these three small countries, we only need to mobilize 200,000 troops."

"Well, Comrade Cui Kefu's idea is very good and feasible. I think it can be considered."

Stalin set the tone for Cuikov's opinion. It seems that the fate of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia is almost over.

"Comrade Stalin, I think that just attacking three small Baltic countries cannot reflect our strength. We can attack Finland after fighting these three small countries, so that we can grab the Finnish port of Hanko."

"I agree."

“I agree too”

...

Britain and France are not as domineering as the Soviet Union. Their methods are much more tactful. It is not that Britain and France do not want to be tough on Romania or use force to threaten them, but that Britain and France have secret agreements with Germany. Therefore, Britain and France cannot and dare not openly destroy the arms-for-oil transaction between Germany and Romania. Could it be that Britain and France just watch Germany blockade on Germany's oil? Of course it is impossible. Britain and France have their own methods. Churchill still summoned cabinet members to discuss countermeasures.

Of course it is impossible. Britain and France have their own methods, so Churchill still summoned cabinet members to discuss countermeasures.

Since Britain and France want to instigate Germany to attack the Soviet Union, they can cause trouble to the east and give Britain enough time to develop advanced weapons. At the same time, they can join forces with the Soviet Union when Germany and the Soviet Union are both defeated and completely kill Germany. Of course, they can also join forces with Germany and completely divide the Soviet Union. If the situation is really what Britain and France expected, Britain and France will make a lot of money. Germany's industry and technology, the Soviet territory and resources, and Britain and France will gain huge amounts of harvest regardless of which country they divide.

Now Britain and France do not want Germany to get rid of the oil blockade. If Germany does not attack the Soviet Union and turns around and do Britain and France first, wouldn’t Britain and France shoot themselves in the foot? Therefore, this secret sabotage activity is absolutely indispensable. The British and French coalition forces don’t have to consider sending troops to Romania, and they can only attack.

Churchill held a cabinet meeting on September 26, at No. 10 Downing Street, British Prime Minister's Office. This cabinet is different from the usual cabinet, called the wartime cabinet. Due to the outbreak of the war, in order to increase decision-making efficiency and confidentiality, only a few people were among the wartime cabinets.

Churchill was obviously much older, and Germany's aggressive voice and strong attack ability did make Churchill restless and exhausted.

"Dear ministers, I think you have finished reading all the documents in your hands. Now I will ask a question: How to destroy Germany's arms exchange plan without Germany's knowledge or without arousing Germany's anger? Let's talk about your own strategy."

This time, the British Minister of Defense made the first speech. Churchill asked twice, but no one answered it. This made the atmosphere a little awkward. Churchill had a strategy, but Churchill didn't want to express his opinion immediately.

"Mr. Prime Minister, your request is difficult to achieve. You want to destroy the German transaction, and you don't know about Germany, or you don't get angry if you know about it. I think there is no such perfect thing in the world."

After the British Minister of Defense finished speaking, he stopped expressing his opinion. Churchill had no choice but to name Churchill and let Churchill speak. Churchill is not willing to have a head-on conflict with Churchill now. The British king has told Churchill very clearly that Britain now needs Churchill to deal with Germany. When the British-German War broke out, it will be when Churchill stepped down.

"Ahem...Mr. Prime Minister, I think we can directly find Antonescu, the Romanian dictator. We will use money to pay, and we will give him as much as he wants, and then let him blow up the oil field by himself. This oil field he blew up himself, or an accident caused the oil field to be blown up. It's nothing to us."

Churchill said this, but the British Minister of Finance quit. He quickly grabbed Churchill's words and shouted in dissatisfaction:

"I said Mr. Churchill, your proposal is feasible. If Antonescu's lion opens his mouth! It costs hundreds of millions of pounds to open his mouth. Do we also give it? Even if we buy all the oil in Romania, it will cost no more than 100 million pounds. In addition, our current fiscal budget has been completed, and all projects are investing heavily, especially weapons research and development, which has spent a lot of money. Now we really don't have much money. I can take out at most 20 million pounds to implement Mr. Churchill's plan."

Churchill didn't speak before to avoid arguing with Churchill, but it didn't mean that Churchill's hot temper was corrected. Churchill heard that the Finance Minister was calling him poor again, so he sucked a cigarette hard, and "pop" a large mouthful of thick smoke, which almost smoged the people in the conference room to death.

"I say to the Minister of Finance, you know that it is a big deal that concerns the life and death of the United Kingdom. You only take 20 million yuan to do anything. Antonescu will blow up his oil fields for your 20 million pounds. You are dreaming. If the United Kingdom is full of people like you who want money but don't live, then it will be a matter of time before the United Kingdom was destroyed by the Germans. If that is true, even if you have a lot of property, you will still rob the Germans. Even their wife and daughter were snatched from the Germans and rode on the bed as horses."

Churchill still couldn't change his mouth, so he had to attack him personally if he said it well. Now even the wife and daughter of the Finance Minister were brought with him.
