"But now we urgently need British and French aircraft carriers to maintain the war situation in the Pacific!" Chief of Naval Operations Leahy reminded: "News from Shanghai, Japanese Army Minister Nagata Tieshan is currently negotiating with Marshal Luo Yaoguo of China and Marshal Göring of Germany. ... Japan will likely have the support of China and Germany. Then Japan may launch a new offensive in the first quarter of next year. Without the six aircraft carriers promised by Britain and France, it will be difficult for us to maintain the situation."

As soon as Lexi said these words, the entire officer's room fell silent.The industry of the United States is very strong, but a strong industry does not mean a strong military.The United States needs time to transform its strong industrial capabilities into military strength. This time is estimated to take 1 to 2 years. In the next 6 months, the United States may be quite vulnerable.Therefore, the six motherships that Britain and France are going to provide are very important to the security of the United States!

As for the proposal put forward by China, the United States and Germany to carve up the world.Uh, none of you here are three-year-olds. Naturally, we know that this kind of thing must be based on military strength. The United States is a typical "rich but not strong". What, isn't it all a mirror image?Both Hitler and Luo Yaoguo were dishonest masters.

……

"Mr. Prime Minister, do you think it possible for President Roosevelt to accept the conditions proposed by our two countries to amend the Atlantic Charter?"

In the luxurious officer's room of the British battlecruiser HMS Renown not far from Augusta, the visiting French Prime Minister Daladier was discussing the same issue with British Prime Minister Chamberlain.

"It will definitely be, because those Yankees have no choice!" Churchill, the first British Admiralty, took the question, holding a cigar in his mouth, holding a recently received telegram in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "This is According to our intelligence network in Shanghai, China, Germany, and Japan are meeting secretly, and I believe they will reach an agreement soon. China and Germany should provide assistance to Japan, and let this group of lunatics find trouble with the United States.”

Britain and France have operated in Shanghai for many years, so they naturally have a complete intelligence network, and the Shanghai meeting initiated by China is not confidential.So French Prime Minister Daladier actually got the same information.

"Will China and Germany declare war on the United States?" General Gan Molin, the commander-in-chief of the French Army and the commander-in-chief of the British and French Allied Forces, asked with concern.

"That's up to you, my dear General," said Churchill. "As long as our troops can beat Hitler's brutes in battle next year, the Americans will join us. I suppose there's nothing wrong with that?"

"No problem." Gan Maling smiled and said: "The Maginot Line is unbreakable, whether it is with infantry or tanks! Therefore, we estimate that the Germans will follow the old path of World War I, and the main force will come from Belgium. A breakthrough attack on the northern part of France may involve 18 to 20 armored divisions in a so-called blitzkrieg. Just like the Soviets, but we are fully prepared, 14 armored divisions are already in place, all infantry corps With anti-tank training and enough anti-tank weapons, we're sure to hit these damn Germans hard."

"Then there's no problem." Churchill said with a sigh of relief: "If there is no military guarantee, all political and extra efforts will be in vain after all. Just like that Uncle Joseph, like a beggar, begging for mercy everywhere. It's just Don't know what the Americans will give him."

Stalin's representative Molotov also arrived in the Azores early in the morning.After arriving in this archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, Molotov met frequently with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wells, who arrived earlier, and issued statements one after another, expressing support for all the propositions put forward by the United States.He also told the United States that after the Soviet government counterattacked and regained the country, the Soviet Union would implement the New Economic Policy, open its market to the United States, welcome American companies to invest in the Soviet Union, and ensure that Soviet workers will never go on strike and will not ask for wage increases!

In addition, before the Pearl Harbor incident, the Communist International, which was still controlled by Stalin, instructed the American Communist Party to support all policies of the Roosevelt administration, mobilized the American working class to actively sign up for the army, and organized demonstrations and rallies in support of the United States' participation in the war.In short, the Soviet Union is now trying its best to show favor to the United States.However, the U.S. government responded indifferently to this. After all, the Empress Anastasia expressed the permanent "neutral position" of the Russian Empire early on... The U.S. is also unwilling to completely force such a behemoth to the side of China and Germany?

"Stalin can't get anything, because the weapons and equipment that the United States can provide must first meet the needs of the Western European battlefield, especially aircraft." Admiral Gamelin reminded: "Although in terms of land and armor, the British and French coalition forces can certainly handle it." The attack of the Germans, but the strength of the French Air Force is far inferior to that of Germany. According to intelligence, the Germans have more than 8000 aircraft, while France only has 2500, including 1200 fighters, 400 bombers, 250 reconnaissance aircraft and 650 aircraft. A dive bomber. Although the Block MB.152 fighters we have can compete with the German Bf-109 and Fw-190 in terms of performance, the number is still too small. Therefore, we not only need the United States to provide more The P-37, also needs the help of the Royal Air Force."

Hearing that Gan Malin had changed the topic to Britain's provision of air force to France, Chamberlain and Churchill both showed embarrassing expressions at the same time.The British Royal Air Force suffered heavy losses in the just-concluded North Sea naval battle. 20 fighter squadrons were disabled, 157 fighter jets were lost, and 112 bombers and torpedo attack aircraft were shot down.Since the British and German air forces were fighting over the North Sea at that time, once the plane was shot down, it was almost impossible for the pilots on it to survive.Therefore, the British Royal Air Force is also hurting its vitality now, and in the air battle in the North Sea, the United Kingdom also realized that their Hurricane fighter jets are not the opponents of the German Bf-109, let alone the Fw-109, which has better performance than the Bf-190. Omissions in the air force's cooperation have given the British Air Force an absolute advantage in numbers in this battle. It is really hard to say whether it can severely damage the German aircraft carrier formation in the end.

After the North Sea War, the United Kingdom, which was afraid of the strength of the German Air Force, tried every means to supplement the loss of fighter jets, and on the other hand, it quietly stopped its plan to send fighter jets to France.According to Churchill's suggestion, Prime Minister Chamberlain has ordered that the Royal Air Force must leave at least 50 full fighter squadrons to defend the British mainland.This move, of course, caused extreme dissatisfaction in France. France, which is also aware of the power of the Luftwaffe, is eager to get these 50 life-saving fighter squadrons from the British.But the United Kingdom refused to let go. Obviously, they were not as optimistic about the outcome of the upcoming Western European campaign as they appeared on the surface...

……

Early the next morning, the leaders of Britain and France were invited to the American heavy cruiser Augusta.The French's previous attempt to get fighter squadrons from the British had once again failed, but Prime Minister Chamberlain still stated that the British could transfer to France all the P-37s obtained (purchased or leased) from the United States.As for how much you can get, it depends on how the leaders of Britain and France work hard today.

"...Mr. President, you also know that the justice and justice of the world are facing the greatest danger. The collusion between the Germanic people and the yellow race has brought great damage to the whole of Eastern and Central Europe. Wanton destruction of the original good order in the Pacific Ocean. The entire civilized world has reached a critical juncture, and the only way to save the world and defeat the unprecedentedly powerful fascist enemy is to let the three great countries on the old and new continents Unite, at all sacrifices, and lead people all over the world who believe in justice and love peace, against the common enemy of all mankind, fascism!"

This solemn and provocative speech was naturally delivered by the British First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill.However, the President of the United States, who sat across from him and listened to his speech, was listless and a little impatient.Seeing that Roosevelt couldn't be moved by the nonsense of "fake big empty", Churchill went straight to the topic as soon as he changed the subject.

"For this Atlantic meeting, Britain and France believe that there should be two priorities. One is to formulate a programmatic document for the world anti-fascist war; the other is to strengthen the alliance between Britain, the United States, and France, and the upcoming The Armageddon in Western Europe and the Pacific will draw up a unified plan and plan to maximize the military strength of the three countries."

Having said that, Churchill looked up at Roosevelt, saw that he was still absent-minded, frowned slightly, and continued: "As for the draft of the Atlantic Charter proposed by Your Excellency, Britain and France are After careful study, the following aspects are acceptable: first, the three countries do not seek any territorial or other expansion; second, the three countries do not wish to see any conflict with the free expression of the people concerned Corresponding territorial changes; fourth; respecting their existing obligations, the three countries should strive to promote all countries, regardless of size, victory or defeat, to have the opportunity to participate in world trade in order to achieve their economic prosperity under equal conditions. And access to raw materials from the world... However, for the third article of the draft, the British and French governments feel that some amendments must be made. The two governments hope that it can be expressed in this way: the three governments respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, and they hope to see the The countries that have been deprived of their sovereignty or territory by force by the fascist countries will regain their sovereignty and territorial integrity. I hope to see all the nations enslaved and oppressed by the fascist countries gain independence or self-government.”

Roosevelt sighed secretly in his heart. After the failure of the Battle of Hawaii, not only China and Germany began to openly support Japan, but even Britain and France did not respect the opinions of the United States so much!If the United States still can't let the damn Japanese devils suffer a little bit in the next war...

Chapter 0816 I died for the king (a) betrayal

Shanghai, Nanshi Old Town.

This is a neat and elegant single-family two-story building surrounded by a green brick wall. Although the yard is not big, it is not something that ordinary people can own in Shanghai Bund where land is very expensive.What makes people feel a little strange is that such a house is hidden among the houses of poor people.Neighbors all know that when the owner of this small house built it, he bought several dilapidated Hui-style old houses in a row at a very high price, and then demolished them all to free up the land. Such a small yard was built.This cost is enough to buy a beautiful garden house in a location like Ma Sinan Road!But the owner of the house, who probably has too much money to spend, is quite a mysterious figure. It seems that after the small courtyard was built, he never came back to live in it. Maybe it was because he came back too short that no one had seen him...

During this period of time, the doors of this mysterious small building are still closed, all the doors and windows are also closed, and the thick curtains are drawn. It looks as if no one lives at all.The street outside the small building is very busy with people coming and going. The neighbors who have long been familiar with it will not take a second look at this yard, let alone think that in a certain room in this two-story small building .Some background figures have been talking all night.

"China, Japan, and Germany have formally drawn up the declaration of the Shanghai Conference. According to the news, there is nothing in this declaration to help the oppressed nations of the colonies become independent! Moreover, China and Germany will also provide assistance to Japan in order to Help them fight America!"

"The Workers' Party of Korea has also received news. It seems that the Chinese side has asked them to leave the base of Changbai Mountain immediately and go to North Korea. Moreover...the Chinese will cut off all economic and military aid. It seems that Chinese imperialism and Japanese imperialism have colluded. Get up, China has betrayed the interests of the Korean nation!"

"Your Excellency Jin Zuozhen has been placed under residential surveillance, and other leaders of the Independent Army have also been warned. Those of our friends in the National Defense Forces now intend to keep a distance from us... the Independent Army cadres who serve in the Chinese National Defense Army are also They were gathered together and arranged to serve in the Central Asian Republic. Luo Yaoguo, the traitor, is already going to attack us, we North Korean patriots must quickly unite!"

"But what about after we are united? It turns out that we all rely on China to carry out our independent struggle. All the activities are funded by the Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau, and personnel training and military operations are also carried out under the guidance of the Chinese. If the Chinese If you don’t support us, I’m afraid we won’t even have food to eat, so why talk about independence struggle! Moreover, North Korea has been occupied by Japan for more than 20 years, and the people there have already gotten used to Japan’s rule, and their support for us is getting more and more Not much. If the China-Japan-Germany Alliance finally wins this world war, then North Korea will really be over! There will never be such a country in the future, and I am afraid that no one will know it in decades. Such a great country!"

Those present here are originally some Korean Independence Army fighters, full of grief and indignation, filled with righteous indignation at the sudden "betrayal" of the imperialists in China today.It turned out that after Japan was defeated by the United States, they could return to North Korea to govern with the support of China. Who knew that the Chinese suddenly made a 180-degree turn and colluded with Japanese imperialism!And the Korean independence movement, which has struggled so hard for so many years, was regarded as an abandoned child by the Chinese without hesitation!Is it true that the cause of Korean independence they are fighting for cannot be realized?

The person who presided over the convening of this meeting was Mr. Li Dongning, a 68-year-old (already old in 1938) North Korean independence activist, who is also the current chairman of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.The old man is already in his dying years, but he looks sad and doesn't speak.The current situation is indeed helpless. He knows that the biggest trouble for these North Korean patriots is not what to do with the independence movement in the future?But how to maintain their livelihood in the future!Fighting for independence and revolution can't be eaten as food!These people are all living on the salaries issued by the Independence Army and the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, and the source of income of these two North Korean independence organizations is mainly from the secret appropriation of the Chinese government, except for a small amount of donations from North Korean expatriates.But now the parents of food and clothing suddenly turned their faces, how should they live in the future!

Thinking of this, Chairman Li couldn't help but secretly glanced out of the corner of his eye at a young woman in her 20s sitting next to him.Uh, of course she is a beauty, with snow-skinned skin, picturesque eyebrows, and a pair of slender red phoenix eyes revealing all kinds of amorous feelings... She is the little beauty Zheng Yingji who was given to Luo Yaoguo by Jin Zuozhen as a gift, but now she is gone. It's not that ignorant little girl anymore, but she's transformed into a goblin who is so obsessed with people that she doesn't pay for her life.

However, the little goblin has never forgotten her parents' last wishes and her own mission, and is doing her best to help North Korea become independent, and this house is also the little goblin's property.It used to be the old house where the goblin lived in when she was a child, and she has a good memory, so she bought it at a big price and renovated it after she made a fortune.The Kuomintang agents in Shanghai and the top figures in both black and white are aware of this matter.Therefore, although North Korean patriots have been restricted to a certain extent, it is still very safe to gather here.

It's just that I don't know if this little fairy can still blow the pillow wind at Luo Yaoguo, and what is the effect of the pillow wind?

While Chairman Li Da was thinking wildly, the little goblin Zheng Yingji frowned slightly and sighed softly. "For so many years, we are just a tool used by the Chinese to make trouble for Japan. Now the strength and weakness between China and Japan have been reversed long ago. The Chinese have obvious advantages, and Japan has also subdued. We can still count on the Chinese to help as they did in the past. Us?"

"Ma'am, can't you... ask the assistant commander to reconsider?" A forty-year-old man with lofty ideals who had been worrying about the livelihood of his family shouted cheekily.

Zheng Yingji squinted her phoenix eyes, glanced at the uncle, and said with a faint smile, "Who do you always think I am? Lu Xiaobei or Natalie? I don't even have a name with him. I didn't come with him this time. In Shanghai, I just went out to relax by myself." Speaking of this, a trace of sadness quietly flashed across her pretty face. "Besides, we and the Chinese have no common enemy for a long time. Even if Luo Fuwenken continues to pay us a little money, it is impossible to help our cause anymore! But it doesn't matter. The Chinese no longer support us. There will be others to support. As long as Japan has a sworn enemy, there will be room for our North Korean independence movement to survive!"

"Yingji, do you mean to seek the support of the United States? But we are still in the territory of the Chinese, what if they want to..." Li Dongning was startled when he heard this, and turned to look at Zheng Yingji, with a hint of surprise on his face expression.

Zheng Yingji smiled sweetly, with a rather mysterious look on her face. "Please rest assured that Ying Ji is quite sure of this point. Although China and Japan have formed an alliance for the time being, it does not mean that there are no conflicts between them. It is just that they have just formed an alliance with Japan and have to make some gestures. " As she spoke, Yingji took out an envelope from nowhere, and handed it to Li Dongning with both hands. "Chairman Li, this is some of my private savings. There are 100 million French currency. You can use it to maintain the daily expenses of the interim government. It should be enough before contacting the Americans."

……

The water in the Pacific Ocean is blue, and the sky is also blue, which is more pure than the sky in Japan.A fleet painted blue and black was moving on the sea. The core of this fleet was the aircraft carrier "Akagi" flying the flag of the rising sun of the Japanese Navy. Beside the Akagi, there were two light ships, the Kawauchi and the Shentong, who served as escorts. cruisers, and several destroyers.

This small aircraft carrier formation is the so-called Japan Second Air Fleet.It was a squadron formed shortly after the end of the Hawaiian War.I have been wandering around the waters around Hawaii for more than ten days, and now I have finally completed some special training tasks and am preparing to return to Pearl Harbor on Oahu.Over the Hawaiian Islands, the most dazzling pearl in the Central Pacific Ocean, the flag of Hinomaru is now flying everywhere, and the Japanese Empire is already the master here!And Pearl Harbor, the former home port of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, has now become an important anchorage for the Japanese United Fleet, and it has a new name-Hawaii tutelary fort.A very Japanese name, which probably means "Navy District".The military installations and naval garrison on Oahu Island, naval shore-based aircraft, and naval schools are all under the jurisdiction of this township, and the most important of these is the newly established Navy Hawaiian Flight Training School.

The "Akagi" went to sea this time to cooperate with the first training class of this "flight training school" for special training.There are a total of 80 students in this training class, all of whom are "elites" selected from aviation schools in Japan.Of course, these elites are all filled with water, at least in the eyes of Zhongzuo Fukengoro, the aviation staff officer of the United Fleet who is in charge of this special training, all of these guys are stupid to death.Watching them take off from the flight deck is literally putting your heart to the test!Looking at the appearance of these people flying crookedly in the sky with the 98-type blaster, Gan Fu really doubts whether these guys can fly over the US fleet in future battles?

However, one thing that pleased Gan Fu was that he didn't have to teach these rookie pilots to land on an aircraft carrier.For the past ten days, they all took off on the aircraft carrier, and then flew back to Oahu to land under the guidance of the Type 98 bomber piloted by the old pilot of the Akagi, and then returned to the Akagi by a destroyer.Their planes will be flown back to the Akagi by other professional pilots for their training needs the next day.

The reason why there is such a strange training mode is that this group of rookies will never have the opportunity to land on an aircraft carrier on the battlefield in the future. They only need to learn relatively simple take-off.These people are the Japanese kamikaze commandos that have already "frightened" the US imperialists!

"Gan Fujun, these ten days have exhausted you, right? How is it? Can those young people be dispatched in March?"

As soon as he returned to Pearl Harbor, Ganfu Kengoro immediately returned to the flagship Nagato of the United Fleet to meet Yamamoto.As soon as he walked into the command room, before he had time to report to Yamamoto 56, the other party asked first.

"Your Excellency, I think these people should be dispatched at that time." Gan Fu's voice was a little hoarse probably due to the exhaustion from the work of the past ten days. "Your Excellency! Did you just say that in March, you were going to fight in the South Pacific?"

"Hehe, this question... I slipped my tongue just now." Yamamoto 56 shrugged and smiled wryly: "But it's nothing, I'll let you know sooner or later. The United Fleet will have two important military operations in March. All aircraft carriers, including the Ryujō, will be dispatched! Four of the aircraft carriers are going to the South Pacific...the other four may be going to attack the continental United States!"

"Continental America!?" Gan Fu cried out violently. "General, you are saying that we are going to attack the mainland of the United States! How is this possible? It is too risky, even if the supplies are not enough! How can we waste so much fuel..."

"Don't worry about supplies and fuel. We now have two rich and powerful allies who will provide everything, and Japan only needs to provide life!" Yamamoto 56 sneered: "Hmph, isn't this our attack on Hawaii? Is the goal I want to achieve? Now I have finally achieved my wish, but why can't I be happy?"

"General, temporary patience is necessary for the victory of the Empire."

"That being said. But, after all, we are exchanging the lives of Japanese youths for the chance that the empire can go further on the road to hegemony. What if this chance is just a dream?"

"Then we shall apologize to these patriots who sacrificed their lives for the country!"

Yamamoto 56 nodded bitterly. "Hmph, it's really Japanese style of loyalty to gamble with the luck of the country, and cut seppuku if you lose. Gan Fujun, remember what you said today, and don't be afraid of pain if one day comes!"

"Your Excellency, the final victory must belong to the Empire!"

Yamamoto 56 was silent for a while, his sharp eyes looked back and forth at Gan Fu, and then he took out a letter of appointment from the drawer.
