According to the plan, the two Panzergrenadier divisions will each draw an infantry division from the 18th Army and the 17th Army, which performed well in the war against the Soviet Union, and transform them into Panzergrenadier divisions.The other three armored divisions and the troops directly under the two armored corps will be transported to Germany by rail after the Siberian Railway is resumed.It is expected to be fully in place by the end of 1938.
And the purpose of the First Armored Army, which has half of China's armored divisions, going to Germany is naturally to support fascist Germany's attack on France!In addition, the Chinese Navy has already produced four expensive battleships, and is preparing to join the German Navy to deal with the United Kingdom... Such an arrangement is nothing to the young generals of the German-friendly Wehrmacht.But in the eyes of some party and state veterans, this is really not worth it. Why should the Chinese shed blood and sacrifice for the German war?
"According to intelligence, Britain and France have fully seen the power of armored forces in the anti-Soviet war, so the two countries are currently trying their best to expand their armored forces! According to investigations, France has now expanded their armored divisions to 10, And the UK has formed 4 armored divisions. Germany now only has 14 armored divisions, which is basically the same as the number of armored divisions owned by Britain and France.” An Sihua, who has half German blood, is of course pro-German, while drinking While sipping coffee, he was explaining the reason for the increase of troops in Europe to the surrounding dignitaries.He said:
"The more difficult the situation for Germany in Europe, the higher the possibility that the United States will support Britain and France. In the end, there will even be a situation during World War I-the United States will directly participate in the war! Such a situation is very dangerous for China and Germany Yes. So it is necessary for us to send 4 armored divisions to Europe, in fact, these armored divisions are not useful in the rainforests of Southeast Asia. It is only used to defend the coastal areas, which is basically nothing. And Germany got these armors divisions, the Sino-German coalition forces can have 18 armored divisions on the European battlefield, which is 4 more than the British and French coalition forces, and the chances of winning are naturally much greater."
"Are the British and French tanks powerful?" Wang Jingwei asked the question. In this time and space, this great traitor in history has no chance to be a traitor.I had no choice but to be a foreign minister obediently. I have always gone to Britain and France for the past few years. I still have a feeling for the prosperity and strength of Britain and France. Now I heard that Britain and France have 14 armored divisions, and a white and elegant face is also revealed. A somewhat worried look.
"The best tank for the British at present is the Matilda 2. This tank has just been equipped with troops. We don't know the specific data. We only know that its defense is very good and it is equipped with a 40mm anti-tank gun. Such a firepower estimate It does not threaten our No. 20 tank, but it may pose a certain threat to No. 35. The French tanks are mainly 47-ton S1 tanks. This tank is similar to the No. 35 tank, but the protection is better than the No. 75 tank. No. 45.5 is weak, it is a 88mm anti-tank gun. In addition, the French have recently owned a battle tank called G[-]R, which weighs [-] tons and has a [-]mm anti-tank gun. The firepower is similar to No. [-] , but the defense is estimated to be stronger. However, compared with the [-] tons jointly developed by us and Germany, the Panzer IV equipped with an [-]mm gun still has a certain gap."
Speaking of this, An Sihua sighed with some regret, and said: "It's a pity that the No. [-] tank is expensive and the production process is relatively complicated, so the current output is very low, and only one battalion can be equipped for each armored division."
"45.5-ton tank!" It was the first time that Chiang Kai-shek heard of such a good thing. This man has been out of the military for two years, and he really doesn't know much about the latest weapons and equipment.He frowned and said with emotion: "I didn't expect China to have such advanced weapons! It seems that this war is definitely won."
An Sihua took this topic and said with a wry smile: "Our tanks and aircraft are currently better than those of Britain, France, the United States and Japan, but none of these advanced weapons were designed and developed by our Chinese engineers! Basically, they all rely on Germans. Technology. For example, the BF-109, Fw-190, He-111, Ju-88 and other fighters currently used by the Chinese Air Force are all designed by German companies, and our factory has only barely achieved localization with the help of the Germans. The only A-4 series designed by China was designed by Belarusian engineers, and it also used the BMW-801 engine designed by BMW. The 45.5-ton Panzer IV tank was designed by the German company MAN. In fact, we The foundation of the world empire of China is still very shallow. If Germany fails, we will not be able to maintain it for long. That's why Chief of Staff Luo insisted on helping Germany defeat Britain and France... At the same time, avoid the United States from participating in the war, and strive to form China and Germany after the war A balanced situation among the three countries of the United States."
"President Luo is here!" At this time, a loud roll call sounded.There was a commotion in the living room, and everyone stood up.They saw Luo Yiqun and Luo Yaoguo walking in together wearing neat military uniforms.Luo Yaoguo and Luo Yiqun were talking about something with a smile.President Luo nodded frequently, expressing his approval.Seeing everyone standing up to greet him, the President hurriedly smiled and nodded to everyone.And Luo Yaoguo strode towards Foreign Minister Wang Jingwei, pulled him aside, and started talking with him in a low voice.
Chapter 0781 of a new war (three) a year of accidental covenants
"Mr. Wang, this is a telegram sent to us by Nagata Tieshan, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army, through a secret channel." Luo Yaoguo handed a yellow copy of the newspaper to Foreign Minister Wang Jingwei, and said with a smile: "They plan to send the big traitor Pu Yi Extradition to us, and a secret delegation will be sent to Wuhan to negotiate with us. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be responsible for the negotiation, do you have any ideas?"
Wang Jingwei finished copying the paper with a glance at ten lines, and the worried look on his face was gone.He smiled and said: "China and Japan are friendly neighbors separated by a strip of water. Peace will benefit both, and division will harm both. The victory of this anti-Soviet war is also due to the goodwill between China and Japan. The struggle requires the participation of our friend Japan, so I am [-]% in favor of the Sino-Japanese peace talks."
Luo Yaoguo nodded, Wang Jingwei's attitude did not exceed his expectations.Although this Minister Wang is not a traitor now, he still has the hat of the pro-Japanese faction.Of course, in this time and space, China is now bullying Japan, not Japan bullying China, so being pro-Japanese is no longer a crime.Luo Yaoguo exchanged opinions with Wang Jingwei again in a low voice, and then seriously said to the smiling pro-Japanese Foreign Minister: "Mr. Zhaoming, I have read the report on the analysis of Japan's war potential made by your Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Yes. It’s very comprehensive and insightful, and there are a lot of data listed. But... Are these data really reliable? Is Japan’s war potential estimated too small? Once a war breaks out, they really can only maintain 6 to 8 months?"
This report was submitted by Wang Jingwei to President Luo Yiqun. After reading it, President Luo naturally forwarded the report to Luo Yaoguo.Wang Jingwei heard that Luo Yaoguo was questioning his own analysis, a slight haze flashed across his face, but he returned to normal in a blink of an eye, he smiled and said: "I believe that Chief Luo still has his own intelligence channels, such as the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Bureau of Investigation. What... but I believe that using the data they sent to analyze Japan's war potential, I'm afraid it won't be able to last for 6 months! Because the data of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs are all public information released by Japanese officials. In my opinion The Japanese understand that these data can only be exaggerated, not reduced."
Luo Yaoguo thought about it carefully, and nodded.Indeed, Japan is now directly under the emperor's command of the army and navy. In fact, it is the emperor's dictatorship.Of course, countries with this type of government like to make great achievements, and all kinds of data will be whitewashed.
Wang Jingwei smiled and said again: "Of course, this judgment is based on Japan's ability to maintain the war with all its strength without the inflow of foreign aid. The most optimistic estimate is 8 months. If there is water in the data released by Japan If so, it should have bottomed out in 6 months. The last 9.18 war was the Soviet Union’s blood transfusion to them, and the war did not affect the Japanese mainland, so they only lasted for a few months. And the intensity of the 9.18 war can’t be helped Compared with the anti-Soviet war that just ended, if the anti-Soviet war was fought according to the intensity of the anti-Soviet war, it would be a miracle that the Japanese could last for 3 months. Therefore, I think the Japanese are sincere in negotiating with us this time. They did not negotiate with us. The strength of our World War I, unless they are completely crazy, how can they rely on a barren island to fight against an industrial power with 2000 million square kilometers?"
Luo Yaoguo nodded silently. In fact, he had already received three such analysis reports. The Military Intelligence Bureau, the Central Bureau of Investigation, and the Korean Independence Army had all sent similar reports.In fact, Japan's industry is very dependent on foreign countries, with both raw materials and markets outside.After the rise of China in this time and space, high tariffs were used to deport Japanese goods and restrict the export of raw materials to Japan.Especially during the Great Depression, China's silk industry has also adopted a series of latest technologies, and its competitiveness has increased rapidly. Now it has competed with Japanese silk in the international market!As a result, Japan's foreign trade became more difficult, and the raw materials needed for the development of military industry and heavy industry were very scarce.Even the domestic food supply is very difficult!However, it is a scholar's opinion to think that Japan is unable to sustain a long-term war.Because Japan can also import raw materials, machinery, equipment, and even weapons and ammunition from countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and France...Unless China can defeat the Japanese navy at the beginning and completely block the Japanese archipelago, Japan, with a population of 6 to 7000 million, can really explode. 500 million troops came and slowly consumed by China!And the quality of these Japanese infantry is no worse than that of Chinese infantry.
At this moment, Luo Yiqun had finished chatting and laughing with the government officials, and the living room gradually became quiet.Luo Yaoguo and Wang Jingwei also hurried back to their seats.An informal high-level meeting of the national government began immediately.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, President Luo smiled and nodded at the big guy, and began his speech: "Comrades, now the anti-Soviet war has basically come to an end, except for Comrade Jieshi, we have to work hard." A trip to Russia, commanded 6 armies to cooperate with the Russian army to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Bolshevik army who fled to the Transcaucasus. However, this world war has only just begun, the old enemy has just been defeated, and the new enemy is already eager to try. And our Republic of China must be prepared to fight for our own safety and to strive for a post-war situation that is most beneficial to us... especially for war preparations against Britain, France and Japan, especially preparations for war with Japan! The war between China and Japan is likely to be the first to break out. Of course, this is just the analysis of the Presidential Palace and the General Staff, it does not mean that war will definitely break out, and we will not completely close the door to peace talks. If an agreement can be reached, the direction of the war will immediately change. In addition, the Sino-German alliance will continue to be maintained and strengthened. If we have a war with Britain, France and Japan in the future, we will fight side by side with Germany! There is also the friendship with the United States Relations must also be maintained, and conflicts with the United States must be avoided no matter what. The above are the basic principles that our country will adhere to in international issues for a period of time to come."
……
In Setagaya District, Tokyo, inside a Japanese-style mansion with a "Kawashima House" sign hanging in front of the door.She is 32 years old this year, but she is still glamorous and graceful, and Yoshiko Kawashima is sitting lazily cross-legged on the tatami, holding a letter from China in her hand, and carefully looking at it over and over again.In front of her was a Japanese-style low table, on which were placed the Four Treasures of the Study, and a Japanese-style incense burner, and the smell of incense lingered in the room.
She was dispatched by Luo Yaoguo to leave Wuhan. She arrived in Japan on May 5, and she has been in Japan for 1 months now!If it were said that she had already completed the task of sending the message this time, she had already sent a telegram to Luo Yaoguo expressing that she wanted to go home and "serve the master".But that Marshal Luo wanted her to stay in Japan and keep in touch with acquaintances from all walks of life in the Japanese military and government... Then he ignored her!No matter how many low-key letters the Prince Su wrote to the Chinese embassy back to Wuhan, there was no reply.Until yesterday, a letter written by Luo Yaoguo was delivered to Yoshiko Kawashima's residence in Japan by a third secretary of the Chinese embassy.
It's a pity that this letter did not call her back to Wuhan, and there was no similar suffering revealed between the lines.It's just a few hundred words, and it's all about explaining tasks.Luo Yaoguo ordered Kawashima Yoshiko to start negotiations with Japanese high-level officials in the name of a secret envoy, the content of which was the conclusion of an alliance between China and Japan.And the condition for forming an alliance is... In short, it is another secret mission that I don't know how long it will take to complete!Even Yoshiko Kawashima vaguely felt that this mission would not be completed at all. If China had not completely eliminated the Soviet Union in May, it might still be possible to negotiate peace with Japan.But now, the Soviet Union has almost perished!Why does China need to form an alliance with Japan?What qualifications does Japan, a tiny country, have to form an equal alliance with China?It seems that this time it is a complete scam again, but I don't know who cheated whom?
The attitude of Japan is also intriguing. Yoshiko Kawashima knows people like Nagata Tieshan and Okamura Neiji very well, and they are not naive enough to believe that China and Japan can really "coexist and co-prosper", right?Thinking back to when Japan was strong and China was weak, they thought day and night that they wanted to seize territory from China!Now it is China's turn to become a first-class power, so why would it complain about virtue and take Japan to carve up the world?What's more, Luo Yaoguo is not a master who can repay evil with kindness at all!Those who have offended him these years, in the end, are they so miserable that they can't tell?Even my ice-snow and smart Fourteen Gege is now his... and I am still willing to enjoy it, think about it, I am really ashamed of my ancestors!
At this time, the voice of the announcement outside the door pulled Yoshiko Kawashima out of her thoughts.The one who came was General Nagata Tieshan, the head of the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters!Yoshiko Kawashima didn't dare to neglect, she hurriedly adjusted her kimono, got up and greeted her outside the door.
General Yongtian came here quietly today by Qingche Jiancong, and the only entourage he brought with him was his adopted daughter Yongtian Yisha.After the two exchanged a few words with Yoshiko Kawashima in the yard, they followed Yoshiko to a small Japanese-style living room and knelt down respectively.Nagata Tieshan smiled and said to Kawashima Yoshiko: "Miss Fangzi, it's really great that Luo Fushuai can send you to negotiate with me on his behalf this time."
Yoshiko Kawashima smiled sweetly, and bent slightly: "I am not qualified to negotiate with Your Excellency the General. I am just the mouthpiece of the Assistant Commander. If you have any conditions, just ask, and I will definitely bring them for you next time."
Nagata Tieshan sighed softly, "Miss Yoshiko, Japan is...very disgusted with China at present. I believe Miss Yoshiko knows the reason. So I hope that China can first show some sincerity and honor the Japanese at that time. The promise China made when it participated in the anti-Soviet war."
Yoshiko Kawashima frowned and nodded, "Is there any more?"
Nagata Tetsuyama went on to say: "In addition, the Japanese Empire hopes that China will promise to divide the Dutch East Indies, British Papua New Guinea, British Australia, and British New Zealand into Japanese combat areas after Japan's participation in the war against Britain and France."
"Divide the combat area?" Yoshiko Kawashima was taken aback when she heard the words, and then let out a burst of laughter like silver bells, "This one doesn't have to wait for the assistant commander to reply, because it is completely unfeasible!"
"Why?" Yongtian Tieshan's face suddenly darkened.
Yoshiko Kawashima smiled lightly: "If Lanyin, Papua New Guinea and Australia are divided into Japan's combat areas, does that mean that as long as the enemy escapes into these areas, the Chinese army will not be able to attack? If you Japan cannot fight ...Then China can’t fight? If so, how long will the war last?”
Nagata Tieshan was stunned for a while, but just about to refute, Kawashima Yoshiko said quietly: "I don't think it's better than this, let's agree on a time, for example, within a year, the above-mentioned areas will be attacked by Japan, and the rest of the areas will be attacked by Japan." China is in charge of attacking. If after a year, it still cannot be defeated...then the other party has the right to enter the war zone under the other party's responsibility to fight, and whoever takes down the territory first will get it. Your Excellency General, what do you think of this?"
Is one year enough?Yongtian Tieshan's eyebrows gradually furrowed, as if he was thinking hard.Inside the room, there was silence. In the end, Nagata gritted his teeth and nodded heavily: "Okay! One year is one year! If you can't take it down, the imperial warriors are incompetent! It's only natural for China to take it again."
……
"A one-year appointment? Hahaha... This dead girl is getting more and more weird. She actually came up with such an excuse to fool Yongtian Tieshan! When she comes back from Japan, I have to love her well."
In the office of the chief of staff of Luo Da, at this time, someone suddenly burst out with hearty laughter.It turned out that our chief of staff, Luo Da, had just received a confidential telegram from Yoshiko Kawashima from Tokyo, and the telegram reported in detail how Miss Yoshiko fought wits and courage with the Japanese devil Nagata.
"My lord assistant commander, don't be too happy too early, whoever is lying doesn't know about this!" It was Natalie who spoke, the big beauty is 39 years old this year, and she is also the mother of two children .But the appearance is still radiant, the only thing that has changed is that the jealousy of the big beauty has begun to grow.
Of course, Natalie's words are not without some basis.A secret report submitted by the Korean Independence Army is now on Luo Yaoguo's desk.This report revealed a shocking conspiracy against China's Nanyang Fleet, and this conspiracy was planned by a Japanese Navy vice admiral named Yamamoto 56!
Not to mention other things, just looking at the name of Yamamoto 56, Luo Yaoguo believed it [-]% to [-]%!Concentrate all Japanese aircraft carriers, raid Zhanjiang Port, and secure the victory with a big gamble.Isn't this a Pearl Harbor-style surprise attack?If it wasn't for the small secret agent who was ambushed by the North Korean Independence Army more than ten years ago, and now he has finally grown up, he might have really fallen for the Japanese this time.
Reminded by Natalie, he now feels that Yoshiko Kawashima is most likely to be fooled this time.With a snap, Luo Yaoguo dropped the telegram in his hand on the desk.I picked up the report sent by the Korean Independence Army again, and read it carefully page by page.Finally, he smiled coldly, "Since the Japanese are coming to your door! That's good, we don't have to go all the way to attack Wujun Port."
"Fuwen, do you mean to ambush the Japanese fleet in the South China Sea?" Natalie has been in the army for many years, and naturally has a lot of military experience, so she guessed Luo Yaoguo's plan immediately.
Luo Yaoguo glanced at Natalie, stood up and paced in the open space of the office. After a while, he said, "Send a telegram to Yoshiko Kawashima and ask her to tell Natalie Tieshan: The Vladivostok problem is a relationship between Japan and Russia." The conflict between Japan and Russia should be resolved through negotiations. The Far Eastern Republic is a sovereign and independent country, and this country is not a protectorate of China. Therefore, the Japanese side proposed that China hand over part of the territory south of Vladivostok and the Amur River. The request to Japan cannot be realized! Because if China forcibly seizes Vladivostok, it may put itself in a state of war with the Russian Empire, and the German Empire is an ally of the Russian Empire, so China cannot do this, and I hope Japan will fully consider Germany. Don’t take drastic actions.” He thought for a while, “The Chinese side can agree to Japan’s request that Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and the Dutch East Indies should be designated as Japan’s combat areas within one year after the start of the war.” .If the Japanese side has no other demands, China can sign a secret treaty with Japan against Britain and France.”
Luo Yaoguo had just finished dictating the order, and Natalie had already completed the recording. She handed over the notebook, and Luo Yaoguo took it over to look at it. He didn't find any omissions, and signed his name.Then he said to Natalie: "Go and ask the Secretary of the Navy Chen Si to come to my office, um, ask the Minister of the Air Force Li Shunen to come too."
"Okay." Natalie nodded and turned to leave.
Luo Yaoguo walked to a wall hung with a huge military map of East Asia, folded his arms, stared at the map, motionless, like an old monk in meditation.
At this time, in Luo Yaoguo's mind, a fierce Sino-Japanese naval and air battle is being deduced step by step.At present, the main carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy has three models, namely the Type 96 ship-based fighter, the Type 97 ship-based attack aircraft and the Type 98 ship-based bomber.Among them, the Type 96 fighter jet and the Type 97 attack aircraft are both models that existed in history, while the Type 98 is not in history, and it may also be an immature model of the Type 99 critical strike aircraft.According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Korean Independence Army, the range of these three aircrafts is relatively limited. Among them, the Type 98 has the shortest range. That is to say, the Nanyang Fleet should send their submarines to the waters 1000 to 250 kilometers away from the Zhanjiang Military Port to perform alert missions. With the overwhelmingly superior naval and air force aircraft, there is no problem in staging another great victory in the South China Sea...
Chapter 0782 of a new war (four) the United States and Japan must have a war?
Vice Admiral Yamamoto 56 strode into the office of Navy Minister Eisuke Yamamoto.The freshly-baked United Fleet Commander had a smug look on his face recently, but today he was a little angry.His stocky and stocky body was like a rampaging bull, never leaving the guard at the door of the Secretary of the Navy's office, and ran into it at once.
The Secretary of the Navy, who was full of surprise, sat behind the desk, raised his head and stared at Yamamoto 56. It took him a while to react, and said in a calm voice: "Commander Yamamoto, when did you arrive in Tokyo? Is there anything important? ? Oh, sit down, please sit down, and talk slowly if you have something to say."
Commander Yamamoto walked up to Minister Yamamoto, gave a military salute, and then suddenly burst out: "Your Excellency! Didn't you say it well, did you plan to sneak attack the Zhanjiang military port in China? If the negotiation with China is just to paralyze the other party, then I can understand that we need a surprise attack, even if we sign a peace treaty, there is no problem! But why did you cancel the order to attack Zhanjiang Military Port? Is it really necessary to form an alliance with China to deal with Britain and France? This is taking the country The future and fate are just a joke. You have to deal with China for a while, and you have to deal with Britain and France for a while... So what credibility does the empire have in the world? Even China and Germany will look down on the empire. Besides, it is impossible for the empire to win within a year. The entire Dutch East Indies, British Papua New Guinea, and Australia! And the empire simply does not have a safe way to go south! It is simply unrealistic to go south to Australia, because the Philippines, Guam, and Midway are like a chain that locks the empire The road to the south, and the other end of this chain is tied to Hawaii and the U.S. Pacific Fleet! The empire is not China, and the Americans don’t care about the empire at all. They will not allow the empire to get involved in Australia! Therefore, the southbound The risk is no less than going west, please express your objection on behalf of the navy at the cabinet meeting!"
Eisuke Yamamoto smacked his mouth bitterly.It is difficult for Japan to go south to seize the territory of Britain and the Netherlands, but it is easy to go west to the Asian continent?Yamamoto 56's plan to attack Zhanjiang Naval Port was a gamble.We must know that the current China has completely transferred to the wartime system, and the air force is far stronger than Japan, claiming to have 8000 combat aircraft!Now that the anti-Soviet war has basically ended, China's next combat target must be Nanyang, so their aircraft must have been transferred to various military airports in the south.Maybe 6 to [-] fighter planes were deployed near the Zhanjiang military port... If the United Fleet is not careful, it will be blown to nothing by these planes!If I had to choose between Pearl Harbor and Zhanjiang Naval Port, I would rather attack the US Pacific Fleet than attack Zhanjiang.Although both are almost suicides, provoking the United States in peacetime is a slow suicide. Maybe there is some panacea to save your life before you die.And to touch the buttocks of Chinese imperialist tigers, most of them will not survive [-] months...
He sighed, and looked up at Yamamoto 56 who was a little excited.He shook his head slightly: "Yamamoto-kun, you should understand the predicament we are facing now. The Army is not an opponent of the Chinese Army at all. Even if we successfully attacked the Zhanjiang Naval Port and temporarily paralyzed the Chinese Navy, the Army would not be able to come from the mainland. Get new land on the ground. Maybe even North Korea and the Far East will be lost!"
"But we can at least get the Dutch Indochina, which has 190 million square kilometers, which is larger than the Far East and North Korea combined! And we can also get the support of Britain and the United States, which is enough to contain China."
"However, the He-111 and Ju-88 bombers of the China Air Force can cover Kyushu and the western part of Honshu. If they seize the Korean Peninsula, even Tokyo will be under their threat!"
Yamamoto 56 was taken aback when he heard the words, his thick and short eyebrows were tightly knit into a ball, and he seemed to be caught in a dilemma.Eisuke Yamamoto stood up and pressed Yamamoto 56's shoulder: "Yamamoto-kun, you should have heard of the tragedy of the Moscow bombing, right? The Germans used more than 1000 He-111s and Ju-88s to drop bombs in the Soviet capital every day. , of which more than 200 He-111s belong to the 7th Air Division of the China Air Force! According to intelligence, the China Air Force can organize an air strike of this scale. If 1000 bombers come to Tokyo every day to drop bombs... The Emperor How sad Your Majesty must be! And how can we, the courtiers, allow Your Majesty to live in the midst of the China bombs that fall at any time? In case His Majesty has something good or bad, aren’t we sinners through the ages? So, can we not challenge China, It's better not to challenge as much as possible.
At present, the Japan-branch negotiations chaired by General Nagata of the Army have made some progress.China has promised to use Lanyin, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand as the empire's combat areas within one year of going to war with Britain and France.Even after a year, these areas still belong to whoever occupies them first.
These areas, especially Papua New Guinea, are simply under the nose of the empire.If it were to attack from the Truk Islands, the imperial army would be able to sweep the entire Papua New Guinea in a few months at most, so that the door to Australia in the south and Lanyin in the west would be completely open.If China wants to go south to Lanyin and Australia, it must seize the fortress of Singapore.The British have been operating there for hundreds of years, especially in the past two years, and they have invested heavily in building Singapore into an impregnable fortress that can defend against attacks from both sea and land.The Chinese don't even think about taking it down for less than a year.Therefore, in this one-year agreement, the empire took advantage. "
