Republic of China game

Seeing this one in front of him, Nagata Tieshan smiled wryly in his heart. This major general is named Kazuyoshi Sakanishi, the veteran of the secret service agency, and the son-in-law of Rihachiro Sakanishi who has been engaged in spy activities in China for many years.At present, the official is attached to the Japanese Army's General Staff Headquarters, and he is also a talent favored by the army's top brass. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a guy who can only boast and talk.

This Sakanishi Kazuyoshi is obviously the leader of this group of young military officers, and as soon as he fell, the surrounding officers also echoed.They were all beating their chests and feet, as if they wanted to defend the Far East colonies at all costs.However, Yongtian Tieshan, who has long been a master, saw through the true intentions of these people at a glance.To put it bluntly, it was the Japanese army, a living creature that already had its own will, that was at work.Because the Asian continent is the real battlefield of the Japanese army, and in the Pacific Ocean, the army is just a supporting role for the navy...

Of course, these army elites in front of them know that once China and Japan turn against each other, the Far East will never be able to defend.The current Chinese army far surpasses Japan in both quantity and weaponry!Moreover, they have accumulated valuable experience in mechanized warfare in the war against the Soviet Union. Such an army is simply not something the Japanese army can compete with.Even if China is now in order to drive Japan to act as cannon fodder to contain the United States, so what if it temporarily accommodates Japan?When this war is over, everything will still be settled!

However, for the immediate benefit, in order to grasp more resources and obtain promotion opportunities more easily, most of the officers of the Japanese Army will still unconsciously set their sights on the Asian continent, which has long been out of touch with Japan.Even if you just use the "Continental Policy" as an excuse to gain benefits for yourself and the army.At least until the end of World War II, everyone can always have a good time, right?

But how long can this Second World War last?two years?Or three years?Nagata Tieshan never for a moment forgot that China, Germany and the United States are stepping up to make uranium bombs!Although Japan does not have the strength to develop a uranium bomb for the time being, it can determine the approximate power of this bomb through certain scientific experiments and calculations.

After this kind of bomb is owned by China, the United States and Germany, even if the United States is reluctant, it can only accept the fact that it will carve up the world with China and Germany.And whose sphere of influence will Japan be divided into?

Yongtian Tieshan folded his arms, quietly enjoying the performances of these young officers in front of him, and waited for everyone to vent their anger for a while. After they gradually calmed down, he sighed bitterly: "All the gentlemen are indeed from the Great Japanese Empire." Dongliang, but do you know the huge crisis the empire is currently facing?"

Huge crisis! ?The officers of the Young Forces were taken aback for a moment, and they all frowned and thought about it.Nagata did not wait for their answer, but went on talking on his own.

"You guys don't think that the just-concluded naval battle in Hawaii was really like what the Asahi Shimbun and the Yomiuri Shimbun said?" Nagata shook his head lightly, showing a worried expression. "The Battle of Hawaii was indeed a great victory, but the combat effectiveness displayed by the U.S. Navy was stronger than expected. Therefore, the loss of the United Fleet also exceeded the original expectation. It can be said that in this naval battle, both the United States and Japan will suffer losses. !"

"What! Both losers!" Several voices exclaimed at the same time. "But, Your Excellency, Admiral! We have also read the internal battle report of the United Fleet. They didn't even lose a single light cruiser, while the United States lost four motherships and eight battleships..."

"You didn't look carefully!" Yongtian Tieshan interrupted them impatiently, with a look of disappointment on his face. "The United Fleet lost 671 crew members of the carrier-based aircraft, of which more than 300 were the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft! This loss is certainly not great for China, Germany, and the United Kingdom, which have thousands or tens of thousands of air force powers. What is it, but do you know how many pilots there are in the Imperial Navy and Air Force?"

The officers were taken aback, and there was no sound in the office. Nagata Tieshan paused for a moment, and said with a gloomy face: "You don't know, so let me tell you that the empire had a total of 1283 pilots before the Hawaiian naval battle! Moreover, this The figures already include Lieutenant General Yamamoto 56 and Lieutenant General Yoshitoshi Tokugawa, who are unlikely to fly the aircraft into combat."

"You should also know that the pilots who can fly carrier-based aircraft to battle are all the elite among the elite! That is to say, in this battle, more than half of Japan's best pilots have been lost! Although the aircraft carrier is still there, the combat effectiveness But it’s been greatly discounted.”

"And one more thing, I don't know if you have noticed that our Japanese fighters, including the Type 96 ship battle, the Type 97 ship attack, and the Type 98 ship explosion, all performed poorly in this naval battle, or else those naval elites The pilots will not suffer heavy casualties... If we cannot replenish the lost pilots as soon as possible, and cannot provide the performance of the carrier-based aircraft as soon as possible, then the next naval battle will lose the United Fleet! Do you understand?"

Seeing that his subordinates all bowed their heads in silence, Nagata's anger subsided a little, and he sighed: "The pilots lost by the Navy can still be transferred from the Army, but the high-performance aircraft and fuel that the United Fleet urgently needs, as well as the supplies needed to build warships Where can I get special steel? Without these things, how can the expansion of the empire go on? Gentlemen! Now it’s not just China that is using the empire, the empire is actually using China too!”

Chapter 0812 Hero Conference ([-]) Two Hero Posts

In the territory of the Socialist Republic of the Far East, it has come to the season when the sky is full of snow, and the space between the sky and the earth is a vast expanse of whiteness.The cold wind blows, and the forest on both sides of the Amur River is like fog.The Amur River and the Ussuri River, which flow from the east and north sides of Khabarovsk, the capital of the Far Eastern Republic, have already formed a thick layer of solid ice.Vehicles and pedestrians coming from the territory of the Republic of China passed directly on the ice that had already been frozen like a steel plate.

A Buick car walked proudly on the ice surface of the Ussuri River, with a star-spangled banner fluttering dazzlingly in the car, waving in the cold winter wind.Behind this car was a group of Ford trucks, which were piled with sundries and well-made furniture, and a few foreign devil soldiers with live ammunition sat lazily behind the truck.This scene seems to be that the security personnel of several American embassies and consulates are protecting a certain American diplomat stationed in China from moving.

And the goal of this small convoy is Khabarovsk in the Far Eastern Republic on the other side of the Ussuri River, which is the capital of the utopia established by the Chinese Communists.As soon as the convoy crossed the Ussuri River, there were more and more checkpoints of the Communist Army on the road, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger, as if a big war was coming.The tacticians of the Far East Army of the Comintern all wore gray-blue military uniforms with white smocks on their backs, and carried Mosin Nagant rifles on their backs. They looked at the worried-looking American in the back seat of the car with curiosity and vigilance. General.Their pass was issued by the Eastern Bureau of the Comintern, and it was stated on it that this American major general is the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the Socialist Republic of the Far East!Uh, looking at the gloom on the American ambassador's face, could it be that the capitalist society is on the brink of collapse...

This American major general is naturally Joseph Stilwell, who took office in Burleigh. In early November, he visited Tianjin, Baotou, and Burleigh as a special envoy of the U.S. president. Zhang Guotao, President of the Far Eastern Republic, met with them and completed the negotiations on the establishment of diplomatic relations.In less than a month, the ambassador Stilwell completed all the work started by the US embassy in the Far East with the highest efficiency.In contrast, Comrade Li Shuoxun, the ambassador of the Far East to the United States, has just arrived in the United States.

Khabarovsk's American embassy is located in a Russian-style two-story house built in the 19th century.However, the building that was destroyed in the war was only repaired hastily, without any furniture in it.Of course, there was nothing good to buy in Khabarovsk, where supplies were scarce, so Stilwell had to go to Harbin himself.While at the U.S. Consulate in Harbin, he received a telegram from Washington seeking to invite the Far Eastern Republic to send representatives to the upcoming Atlantic Conference in the Azores.

"The Atlantic Conference..."

The car meanders all the way.He has already entered Khabarovsk. This small Far Eastern city is probably the smallest and most dilapidated capital city Stilwell has ever seen.But the security may also be the most heavily guarded one.I don't know how many checkpoints there are along the way, and cavalry on tall horses pass by from time to time, and there are several imitation I-16 fighter jets hovering in the air.The barracks outside the city were densely packed, and Stilwell knew that this new socialist country was currently in a tense confrontation with the Japanese Far East Army.However, a tense confrontation does not necessarily mean that a war will break out, because in this land, the real master is the behemoth on the other side of the Ussuri River-Chinese imperialism!

And the current war between Japan and the United States is actually a proxy war between Chinese imperialism and the United States!

When the car stopped at the gate of the embassy, ​​Stilwell saw the embassy counselor Gao Si strode out with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Gaosi, what happened? Is it Japan..." Stilwell immediately asked as soon as he got out of the car.

"No, it's not Japan, it's China!" Gao Si gave Stilwell a hand and hurried towards the embassy. "China, Germany, and Japan are also preparing to hold a leaders' meeting in Shanghai recently, and they have also invited some leaders from other countries to participate."

"You mean that the Far East Republic has also received the invitation? Now it's a little troublesome." Stilwell frowned slightly, feeling that things were a little tricky.Although he has a good impression of the CCP and believes that they are fundamentally different from the Kuomintang that currently rules China, he also knows that these communists have to temporarily maintain a good relationship with the Chinese imperialists for the sake of their own cause. ...

……

"Papa." With two soft sounds, Zhang Guotao threw the two documents on the desk.

Of these two documents, one is an invitation letter issued by the Chinese Nationalist Government inviting the Far Eastern Republic to send representatives to the Shanghai Conference.One was an invitation letter issued by the U.S. government to invite representatives of the Far Eastern Republic to the Azores to attend the Atlantic Conference.

Chairman Zhang Guotao of the Far East Republic certainly knows the meaning behind these two invitation letters!The leaders of the two hostile camps in this world war, the fascist camp and the anti-fascist camp, wanted to use these two meetings to determine some of the principled issues of their respective camps, and at the same time try to fight as much as possible. The support of neutral countries!

Once you accept the invitation from one of the parties, it means joining this camp!And for the Far Eastern Republic surrounded by the fascist camp, I am afraid there is no choice, right?

Sitting opposite him at the moment is Chen Changhao, director of the Political Department of the Far East Army of the Comintern. This person is Zhang Guotao's most trusted subordinate and has been serving under Zhang Guotao since he returned from the Soviet Union.The other is Feng Yuxiang, commander-in-chief of the Far East Army of the Communist International.This Commander-in-Chief Feng has been in the Communist Party for some years. Although his combat skills are not very good, he is still diligent and hardworking.What's even more rare is that this warlord who once dominated one side has now been transformed by the CCP into a revolutionary soldier who resolutely obeys the party's orders and follows the party!In this regard, compared to the somewhat half-hearted Young Master Zhang, I don't know how much better it is.

It's just that this Commander-in-Chief Feng is too submissive. There is no problem with obedience, but it is impossible to ask him to help with ideas.Zhang Guotao simply ignored Feng Yuxiang, but asked Chen Changhao: "Changhao, do you think our Far Eastern Republic should participate in the Atlantic Conference or the Shanghai Conference?"

Hearing this question, Feng Yuxiang, who looked like a stone statue, suddenly raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of surprise.Not for anything else, but because the Oriental Bureau of the Comintern has already taken a decision on this question!The Eastern Bureau requested that the Far Eastern Republic neither send representatives to the Atlantic Conference nor the Shanghai Conference, and remain neutral between the two camps!But why did Zhang Guotao raise such a question?Maybe there is something hidden behind this?

Chen Changhao was obviously not as sensitive as Feng Yuxiang. He took a look at the two beautifully crafted invitation letters sent by the two embassies, and then put down the invitation letter from the American embassy. "Chairman Zhang, the United States is very powerful, but it is far away... and the Kuomintang is reactionary, but it is only across the river from us. And... Hasn't the Central Committee already sent a southward army to attack India? Under the circumstances, it should be the safest thing for us to send representatives to Shanghai."

Zhang Guotao bowed his head and pondered for a while, "It is safe to be safe, but the central government's instructions cannot be taken lightly. Changhao, Huanzhang, do you think you should send someone to Baotou to explain to the central government?"

Chen Changhao smiled lightly, and put the invitation letter from the national government on the table. "How about I go to Baotou and explain it to Chairman Zhou and Vice Chairman Mao. I believe they can understand."

Zhang Guotao smiled without answering, then turned his head to look at Feng Yuxiang who was bowing his head and saying nothing. "Brother Huanzhang, what do you think?"

"Oh! Me...Of course I listen to Chairman Zhang, hehe, my old Feng is a rough person, I don't understand anything, I don't understand anything..."

"Listen to me?" Zhang Guotao said coldly: "Okay then, since that's the case, I would like to ask Brother Huanzhang to go to Baotou to explain to Chairman Zhou and Vice Chairman Mao, and tell them that the Far East is being attacked. Japan threatened, we urgently need the national government to maintain the situation, so we have to deal with the Kuomintang reactionaries.”

Feng Yuxiang hurriedly stood at attention, closed his hat, saluted and left. "Chairman Zhang, don't worry, I will leave for Baotou immediately, and I will definitely discuss it with the central leadership comrades."

Watching Feng Yuxiang walk out of the office, Zhang Guotao turned his attention to Chen Changhao.He said indifferently: "Changhao, I plan to go to Shanghai in person. Here in the Far East, you and Comrade Qianqian will be responsible."

Chen Changhao was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Zhang Guotao. "Chairman Zhang, you have to go to Shanghai in person...I'm afraid it's not appropriate? If something happens here in the Far East, I can't control the situation."

"What could happen?" Zhang Guotao sneered. "The National Defense Forces even wiped out the Soviet Union, and those Japanese dare to move the Far East? Hehe, even if they move, they will not gain anything. When the National Defense Forces once cross the Ussuri River, those little Japanese will be beaten like eggs!"

"Then...will the central government blame..."

"No." Zhang Guotao waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "What does the central government want? It is to develop and grow the power of the party! It is not to fight head-on with the powerful reactionaries. And the first task of our Far Eastern Republic is to preserve the strength of the base area , This is also what Chairman Zhou personally ordered before we came to the Far East. I went to Shanghai to meet Luo Yaoguo precisely to achieve this goal. How can the central government blame it?"

Zhang Guotao spoke plausibly, but Chen Changhao felt something was wrong when he heard it.But I don't know where the problem is...

……

At the same time, a draft of the top-secret "Atlantic Charter" appeared on Zhou Enlai's desk through unknown channels. "Report on the Situation of National Liberation Movements in Southeast Asia and South Asia" co-authored byAfter Zhou Enlai received these two reports, he immediately summoned the members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in Baotou to his office for a meeting. The meeting lasted all day until night fell, but the lights in Zhou Enlai’s office were still on and the meeting was still going on. with.

"The draft of the "Atlantic Charter" proposed by the Americans is obviously progressive. Its progressive significance lies in the full respect for the weak and small nations, the oppressed nations and the colonial people's pursuit of national independence and national liberation, and the establishment of national independent governments. rights, and a guarantee that all human beings in the world will have a free life after the final destruction of Fascist tyranny... If such a charter is finally promulgated, it will undoubtedly be able to mobilize the oppressed nations of the world, especially the German and Japanese fascists If the working people in the enslaved colonies oppressed by Chinese and Chinese imperialism join the anti-fascist camp, this will be a heavy blow to the German, Chinese and Japanese fascists! It is very likely to become a turning point in the world anti-fascist war. And our party is in the At this critical moment, we should firmly adhere to the anti-aggression and anti-fascist stance, and strive to play an important role in the world's anti-fascist struggle."

It was Zhang Wentian who spoke. He adjusted his pince-nez and said to the comrades present with great sincerity: "Comrades, you must not underestimate such a declaration. This world war is likely to be caused by this "Declaration." From an imperialist hegemony war with no righteous side, it has evolved into a life-and-death contest between the world's progressive forces and fascist imperialism!"

"It is said that those who get what is right will get more help, but those who are not right will get little help... Now, this "Declaration" has only been circulated in a small area, and it has already attracted the attention of Comrade Nguyen Aiguo (Ho Chi Minh), the leader of the Communist Party of Indochina, and Comrade Lu Yi, the leader of the Communist Party of India. .” As he spoke, Zhang Wentian pointed to a document placed on the left side in front of Zhou Enlai. "They also all desperately hope that China can also come up with a similar declaration at the Shanghai meeting. Otherwise, they will not be able to guarantee the support of the working people of India and Indochina to our cause. After all, we are going to rely on the power of Chinese imperialism To liberate the people of India..."

"How is this possible!"

Before Zhang Wentian finished speaking, he was interrupted by an impatient voice. Everyone followed the voice and saw Zhang Xueliang shaking his head vigorously.

"The "Atlantic Charter" was proposed by the Americans. They don't have many colonies. They only have one Philippines, and it is the richest country in the world. They don't expect to get rich by exploiting those Filipino maids. Of course they can It’s a sarcastic talk. But we, China and Germany, are poor people. According to Hitler’s words, we need living space very much! How could it be possible to issue such a bullshit declaration? So what do the brothers below want to do with their lives and deaths?”

"You can't invade and expand for nothing!" Zhang Wentian glanced at the young master Zhang who had never studied the works of "Marxism-Leninism" seriously, and said coldly: "It has only been a few days since this "Manifesto" was circulated? The leader of the national independence movement has been shaken a little! If there is no tit-for-tat on China's side, and it is only thinking about expansion, I am afraid that it will fall into a complete passivity."

Zhang Xueliang sneered, "Comrade Luo Fu, why are you staring at me? It doesn't matter what I said about the "Declaration", it has to be proposed by the Kuomintang reactionaries! But people are willing to shed blood for the liberation of oppressed nations all over the world." Khan, then they are not reactionaries, but the Communist Party!"

"Then we should draw a clear line with the Kuomintang reactionaries!" Zhang Wentian shouted as if angry: "The current world war is no longer a war between two imperialist blocs, but a war between the world's anti-aggressive forces and the aggressors." A life-and-death struggle between the opponents!"
