To make the British happy to conduct trade, allow military alliance and at least be slightly compliant I was thinking about this.
Britain is about to surrender. Hitler demands all of the fleet knowing he won't get it but he knows the reaction that will come from America/Canada. Roosevelt flips the fuck out. He thinks Halifax will do it since him and Chamberlain have been pretty weak links in the relationship and he thinks they'll bend at the slightest pressure. Roosevelt demands the Canadian's go get that fleet to make sure it doesn't end up in the wrong hands. Doesn't end well, USA cuts off Britain from trade and anything else. Ultimately Halifax says no to that and Hitler is fine with it. Damage is already done though. Britain kind of allies against America in spite. This causes some problems for the pacific war. British troops are ordered to stand down and not allow American forces onto their land if they do arrive. Panzer III's are given to the Japanese when they are no longer deemed worhty on the Eastern Front. They would do fairly well against the M4 especially the ones with the 5cm KwK 39 gun. But not only tanks. Thousands of captured soviet Anti Tank guns and shells are handed over. I think Oil is also supplied. This is some form of lend lease but is more based around "We don't want it, you can have it". It draws out the conflict a little longer mainly because only America is fighting them, they have access to decent anti tank guns and tanks and they have lost less men.
