"Then I really thank you two for whispering and bringing me into this kind of thing by the way."

To be honest, Richter didn't notice that she was mentally exhausted, maybe it had something to do with being a straight man, not as meticulous as a woman.

Goethe cared about Griffin, like her sister, and she shouldn't be lying when she said that Griffin was tired.When she mentioned it like this, Richter also began to think that maybe there was such a thing.

Maybe I ignored her state, after all, I just glanced at her from a distance that day.Just understanding things like the promise that she came to Germany to fulfill, Richter felt that his brain was already overloaded, and he didn't have extra attention to focus on other things.

In fact, in his heart, Richter had already believed [-]%.

He nodded and said, "I see. I also want to see with my own eyes whether she is really what you said. "

"That's good." The former nurse nodded and was about to leave.

When passing by Richter, the boy suddenly stopped her. "You just... didn't spy on my thoughts, did you?"

He recalled the previous communication between the two of them. He should not have been thinking wildly, but he was inexplicably guilty.

These words hurt Goethe so much that even the interval between replies was extended a lot.It doesn't matter what outsiders say to her, but people she knows also think so, which still makes her emotionally broken for a while.

"What? Even you don't trust me? I won't use this ability on my friends."

"It's nothing, it's just...forget it, I was suspicious, sorry." He instinctively wanted to explain a few words, but finally gave up.

I really doubted her, and even suspected that she had controlled her own thoughts, thus subconsciously speaking in favor of her conclusions.

Judging from Goethe's control ability, it's not like she can't do this.

After all, the ability to read minds and capture souls is so unreasonable. When dealing with the other party, any thoughts that Richter has will subconsciously doubt whether the real source comes from himself or the other party.

Goethe laughed twice, his expression hard to hide his bitterness.She opened the lock, and the moment she pushed the door open, all negative expressions quickly disappeared, and she appeared in front of her subordinates as a frosty-faced strong woman.

It's just that the pace of leaving is a little fast.

Back in the car, she uttered only one word. "Let's go."

When Augusta started the car, he took a look at Goethe and asked tentatively, "What should we do next? The guardian of the Rubik's Cube has returned to Germany. Shouldn't we find a way to meet her?"

Goethe said coldly: "If you are not afraid of dying by the light, go and have a try."

"No way?" Augusta couldn't believe it.

We are all Germans, so we are not going to kill us when we meet, right?

Volume 161: [-] Germany should be the heart of Europe

"There is no need to meet. The whole of Europe and North America are paying attention to her whereabouts. Now we will be exposed to the spotlight in everything we do. At this time, our best way to deal with her is not to contact her. Germany is her motherland, she will not It’s perfunctory like it is for other countries. What we should do now is to follow the marshal’s original plan and implement step by step. As long as there are still people who support the marshal in the new government, they will provide us with the energy and maturity of the Rubik’s Cube Technology, we don’t need to worry about that at all.”

Goethe has always had a very clear understanding of this, and the reason why he couldn't help looking for her today is more out of selfishness.

As someone who stayed in the country, I just wanted to welcome her back home.

It is also rare that Goethe would be so patient to explain this to this muscular man. It is hard to say that it was not because of successive setbacks from former friends, so he wanted to find someone to say something to ease his emotions.

Although Augusta is tall, his IQ is not inversely proportional to his body size. Goethe's words have been made very clear, of course he can understand.

While driving, the big man said regretfully, "It's a pity, it's such a rare opportunity to come to Germany but I didn't get to see her."

Noticing Goethe's gaze staring at him, he quickly explained: "I've heard about some of her deeds. The Marshal spoke highly of her, and you, Doctor, do the same. That's why I'm just curious, nothing else."

Jodl, who was sitting in the back seat, was closing his eyes and resting his mind. Hearing this explanation, his shadowed face couldn't help showing a disapproving expression.

Jodl, unlike Goethe, has no sense of identification with the girl.

He admits that the other party has indeed made many devices that provide convenience to the world, but as a naturally militant Aryan superman, Jodl always believes that such behavior is better than fighting the remaining Nazi Hydra in Germany. It looks weak and weak like a sick moan.

Nowhere near the itch, the more itchy the more itchy.He obviously has the power to destroy the world, but has been hiding it, never thinking about using it where it should be used. This is Griffin's biggest failure as the guardian of the Rubik's Cube.

Even if the idea of ​​following the Red Skull is followed to create energy weapons, as a result, there has not been much development in armaments for more than a year, but a lot of effort has been devoted to civilian use. Isn't this a kind of regression and waste of technology?

The three people in the car gradually drove to the suburbs in a silent atmosphere with their own concerns.

Acheson, who received a late-night visit from Griffin, disclosed the important information she had obtained to the White House overnight. Truman was ecstatic about the release of the energy core. His country not only had the guardian of the Rubik's Cube, but also obtained the original space stone. Energy core, double BUFF blessing in hand, another energy core in Germany is not so important.

The former is exclusive to the United States, while the latter has to be supplied to dozens of countries, large and small, throughout Europe. Just the wrangling between countries and the strong intervention of the Soviet Union can hinder their development.Not to mention that there are many foreign scientists in the United States who came from the old continent to study or escape, and they will also play a vital role.

After urgent discussions with think tanks, Truman decided that he could temporarily show a certain degree of compromise to the red camp for the future of the United States' global military strategy.

"On behalf of the United States, I can agree to the proposal to merge the four occupied regions of Germany, and I can also try to persuade the United Kingdom. As for France, they may have different opinions, but they will definitely not choose to cooperate with the Soviet Union, so that Germany will lose its buffer zone. It makes sense. What you have to do is to convince the Soviets that there is only one energy core." Truman repeatedly emphasized this point on the phone. "As for the share of research distributed among European countries, my idea is to divide it in proportion to the occupied area."

"I fully agree with your point of view, Mr. President." Acheson replied, and he also made additional comments. "But shouldn't we also allocate part of it to other countries without troops? After all, the exchange we propose is to make Germany a neutral zone and an unarmed country. On this premise, the energy core of the European zone can be placed there. "

In addition to the energy core, Griffin also imagined with Acheson about the future development direction of Germany.As the initiator of the two world wars, the world has already known the bravery and audacity of Germany. At the same time, the two defeats also made the Germans realize how terrible they are.In order to avoid head fever in the future, Germany should pay more attention to economic and cultural construction in the future, and its military power should only be maintained at the minimum for self-protection.

In this way, it is also easier to place the energy core in Berlin, otherwise it will cause headaches for neighboring countries if Germany expands its arms and prepares for war again.

Her words may not necessarily work, but there is nothing wrong with just chatting.

It would be nice to make Germany a neutral country like Switzerland. It should be used as a buffer zone anyway, so why create two Germanys?When the heart of Europe is not good?The location is just right too.

Although I think so in my heart, the actual situation depends on whether the Soviet Union will give me this opportunity.

"Yes, you can mention it. We have to fully consider the interests of other victorious countries." It is one thing to mention it, but another to admit it or not.Truman, who has always been cautious, showed a rare generosity at this moment, as if he had already pocketed the unrealized energy core. "Even if these benefits are not given to them, the United Nations has promised to use part of the new energy for the construction of other members."

It is nothing more than "diluted" infinite energy of the next level.

According to Griffin's development plan for infinite energy, new and old energy are divided into several levels according to types and proportions.The first class is naturally the new energy produced by the purest infinite rough stone, but this type of energy is also the rarest and most precious. The United States has not done enough research. How could Truman be willing to give away these precious energy for nothing.

And why do these small countries have the nerve to jump out and share?When facing the iron heel of Nazi Germany, it is clear that each of you fell faster than the other.

"There is another problem. If some member states of the United Nations propose to place the energy core in Switzerland, a permanently neutral country, we should also have corresponding countermeasures." Acheson put forward another hypothesis.

"Indeed, your worries are very reasonable." Truman thought for a moment, and then he said disapprovingly: "It's nothing more than the protest of the losers. The feelings of the guardians of the Rubik's Cube, the geographical location of Germany, and the ideas of the Soviets , These are enough to reject them. In addition, we also agree that they join the research on the energy core and share new energy sources. If these still cannot satisfy them, we still have the ultimate weapon as a deterrent."

Volume 162.1: [-] Restarting Negotiations

In fact, after having unlimited energy, he no longer thinks highly of atomic bombs that can only show fists.After all, no matter how hard a fist is, it is just a fist.You have it, and so do others.

Unless infinite energy is added.

Truman believed that since its guardian could create an energy core, there would be a way to destroy it.But she definitely has no way to destroy the body of the Infinity Stone, after all, she is just a guardian, not a creator.So he didn't panic at all, on the contrary, he would use this opportunity to get closer to the other party.

There are infinite possibilities of new energy in hand, which is much easier to use than pure nuclear deterrence.

"Remember, Mr. Deputy Secretary, your task will always be to convince the Soviets of the number of power cores and of the fact that you have taken advantage of them. Everything else is trivial " Truman who said this firmly believed that as long as he fooled the bears in the east, he would have a way to persuade the loose sand in the west.

Acheson, who was fully informed, knew what he should do.

Negotiations will resume the next day.

Facing the tough and aggressive Marshal of the Soviet Union across the table, Acheson first proposed the idea of ​​annexing Germany and making it a neutral country, but was unexpectedly rejected by the other party.However, when he went on to say that the reason for doing so was to place the energy core separated from the Rubik's Cube in Berlin near the east, the marshal who had always regarded the western capital world as a scourge finally showed signs of loosening.

Out of instinctive hostility and disgust, Sokolovsky did not believe that this group of capitalist demons would give up their benefits so kindly. He has always been very vigilant against threats from the West.But the temptation of infinite energy is too great. As early as during the war, Moscow’s top management had already exchanged opinions on the former Cosmic Rubik’s Cube and the current Infinite Rough Stone, and a consensus has been formed.That is to say, under the premise that the original stone body cannot be obtained, it is acceptable to have half of the energy core scientific research and use rights.

And the American ambassador also made it clear that this allocation is not included in the use of unlimited rough stones in the United Nations, which means that the Soviet Union can still extract purer energy from the rough stones.

Marshal Sokolovsky was assigned by Moscow to be responsible for the defense of the German Eastern Occupied Zone. Although he had the authority to act cheaply, he was still a military post.This matter was at the diplomatic level, and he could not act arbitrarily, so it was rare for him to propose to report the progress of the meeting to Moscow with a pleasing face.

Seeing that he had successfully persuaded the stubborn marshal, Acheson finally breathed a sigh of relief.As long as the border boss is willing to let it go, half of the matter will be accomplished.

During the intermission, Griffin learned about the latest progress of the meeting from Acheson, and she gained a deeper understanding of the adult world.

Countries can become friends only when their interests are aligned.

People who play politics are very dirty, but the layout feels really enjoyable.

"No matter what the final outcome of this matter is, I would like to thank you for your efforts to unify Germany." Enduring the sadness in her heart, the girl expressed her gratitude to the other party sincerely. "The Guardian of the Rubik's Cube will always be in my heart."

What I said made me feel embarrassed.

Faced with Griffin's sincere thanks, Acheson, who has developed a thick skin, couldn't help but feel hot.In fact, he had never considered the reunification of Germany at all before. After all, the Soviet Union still occupied the eastern region, and he always had to take people's feelings into consideration.Even if he learned last night that the infinite rough stone can separate the energy core, he didn't really take this matter to heart, at best it was only mentioned incidentally when discussing the business.

It's just that I didn't expect the Soviets to be so talkative today, and the situation seems to be developing in a good direction, which contributed to the appearance of the second half of the sentence.

For Acheson, this was simply a windfall.This means that even after he retires, he will not be left alone.We must know that few people can get such a guarantee from Griffin, maybe besides Howard and Steve, he is the third?

Acheson, who hadn't planned to do his best, became serious after receiving the kindness from the Guardian of the Rubik's Cube.

As for thinking that this is a trick used by the other party to deliberately let him concentrate on his work?Ha, how is it possible?What evil could this kind little girl have?

Even if that was the case, he didn't think it was a shame to be used.

It's worth it to get her own guarantee in exchange!

When the news came back to Moscow via a telegram from Marshal Sokolovsky, Stalin immediately convened an impromptu council of ministers.

"Comrades, I have some good news for you. I just received a call from Marshal Sokolovski from Berlin. The guardian of the Rubik's Cube is willing to give us half of the energy core condensed with infinite energy." As soon as several committee members entered the meeting room, Stalin, holding a big pipe, announced a surprise to them.

half?Why not all of them?Marshal Konev, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Minister of Defense, could not help but think so when he heard this.

As a handsome talent who overwhelmed the German army with a swift offensive, Konev instinctively wanted to breathe out the fragrance when faced with the conditions put forward by the Guardian of the Rubik's Cube, who was also a German.

But before he was about to show his psychological advantage over Germany, Marshal Vasilevsky, Chief of Staff, spoke first.

"That's good news indeed, Comrade Stalin. But the Americans ask for it. What do they want from us?"

"This is the crux of the problem!" Stalin nodded approvingly, the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes gradually narrowed. "The Americans proposed to merge the four major German occupation areas, and the unified Germany will become a central European neutral country like Switzerland. The defense force will be completely handed over to the United Nations Army. The energy core extracted from the infinite rough stone will be placed in the East Berlin area, And proposed to use Berlin as a permanent 'undefended' city. And we will get the geographical advantage closer to our border, 49% of the right to use and scientific research rights. At the same time, the Americans also agree that we retain the right to station troops in Germany, but must Move the station at least thirty kilometers out of Berlin."

After saying this, he deliberately gave everyone present some time to digest these contents.After a period of silence, he named Konev and said, "Our Comrade Minister of Defense seems to have something to say just now?"

"Yes, my great comrade leader." Originally, Konev was still immersed in thinking, but after being named, he simply expressed his thoughts. "I think we have received too little. The motherland has sacrificed too much to fight against German fascism, but the Americans are like sending beggars, full of charity to us. With our current strength, we can definitely win more. War It's not just Germany that needs recovery in post-Europe, we need it."

Volume I: 162.2 Council of Ministers

If we hadn't attracted the main force of the German army, it would be a joke for the Allies to open up a second front.Konev even felt that the appearance of this group of capitalist lackeys hindered the possibility of his side taking over the entire territory of Germany, otherwise there would be no need to divide any occupied areas.

So what is the serious condition of merging the occupied areas?

"So Comrade Konev thinks...we got less, is that true?" Holding a pipe, Stalin reconfirmed.

Konev nodded emphatically on his square bald head. "Yes, Comrade Stalin."

"What do other people think?" The gaze from the loving father shifted to several other people.

Bella lowered her head.

In fact, as early as the war, he had been paying attention to the magic cube, an extraterritorial artifact.

After learning that the Rubik's Cube was obtained by the Nazi Hydra, he organized several capture plans and lost many agents, but none of the plans succeeded.Although Stalin didn't say anything, he always felt that the other party looked at him with blame, because he indirectly caused huge losses to the comrades fighting on the Eastern Front.

And when the guardian of the Rubik's Cube came to Europe again, his first reaction was to plan a kidnapping. Although he promised that after intensive training, the agents in the red room were all very skilled, and they were not what they used to be. He was severely criticized by the leader.

"The large-scale war is over, put away your bad intentions of provoking war. We cannot be passive in diplomacy!"

At this time, it was too late for him to reflect, and he had no thought of raising opinions.

I only heard Foreign Minister Molotov say slowly: "Judging from the current conditions, the Americans are still very sincere."

There is one thing to say, he was really surprised and pleasantly surprised that the Americans who have always been stingy can propose such a large concession.But because he couldn't guess the leader's thoughts for the time being, Molotov didn't fully express his inner joy.

He thought for a minute and offered his opinion: "I think we should 'go further'."

"So Comrade Molotov thinks so too?"

"Partially agree, my great Comrade Leader," Molotov explained unhurriedly. "It is true that the motherland paid a huge sacrifice in the war, and the price is high. We should strive for more opportunities for national reconstruction, but we should also fully consider the ideas of other joining countries. I think , we should get at least 50% of the distribution. This is not only for the construction of our own country, but also for other alliance countries that belong to the same camp, which helps to unite the centripetal force."

"After all, they are engaged in diplomacy, and the direction of thinking is more open." Stalin nodded in agreement. "Comrade Vasilevsky, what do you think?"

Vasilevsky also thought of a countermeasure at this time, and he immediately expressed his position. "Before expressing my opinion, Comrade Stalin, please forgive me for saying a few unpleasant words."

Hearing this, Stalin couldn't help correcting his sitting posture. He stretched out his hand holding the pipe and said: "Of course, you have the right to express your own opinions, Comrade Vasilevsky."

"I think we should just let it go."

"Take it as soon as it's good?" Stalin frowned. This word seemed to say that he was greedy and unsatisfactory.However, he still waited patiently for the other party's next speech.

"Indeed, as the victorious country, we could have demanded more from the defeated country, but this will not be conducive to our image in the international arena." Vasilevsky elaborated earnestly. "Although the Western world regards us as scourges, only we know in our hearts how pure and noble the great ideals we fought and sacrificed for are."

"The Americans think this is their sincerity, but in my opinion, this is their temptation! Just like the early reconnaissance before the launch of the campaign, it is a temptation of the Comintern by Western capital. They want to use unlimited energy To find out how much war potential we have left, and also to lose us in the face of great temptations, so that they can more confidently divide our allies - who can be sure that this will not be possible?"

"For the victory of the war, we lost tens of millions of lives. Energy can certainly improve the economy of the country, but the lost lives cannot be awakened again. For a long time to come, we will be extremely weak. At this time We will need the help of our allies more than ever. Instead of wasting 'surplus' resources, let the motherland use it to unite her 'friends' who need it more."

We cannot let the West perceive our weakness, and any possibility should be contained.

The Soviet Union is now typically vast and sparsely populated, so it is completely meaningless to ask for so much energy.What they need more is population, but unlimited energy cannot produce population.

Stalin understood the part that the chief of staff did not say clearly. "The friend you mentioned, do you mean..."

Vasilevsky nodded affirmatively. "Yes, Comrade Leader, we should use part of our quota to support Germany."

Hearing this, Konev couldn't sit still.He jumped up from his seat on the spot. "What!? I oppose the opinion of Comrade Chief of Staff C! Germany is our enemy. It is because of them that the motherland has the status quo you mentioned. Do we still have to use the opportunity that our brothers and sisters sacrificed for? , to fatten our former enemies?"

"Calm down, Comrade Commander-in-Chief of our Army." Stalin comforted him. He motioned for the other party to sit down first, and then looked at the Chief of the General C with serious eyes. "You'd better have a plausible explanation, Comrade Vasilevsky."
