"Oh... Yamamoto-kun's suggestion is very timely. We really have to make a decision now, because the war between China, Germany and Britain and France is imminent." Nagata Tieshan took the topic first, his fingers unconscious He knocked on the small Japanese-style square table, thinking about his words. "Actually, from the bottom of my heart, I agree with Masaki-kun's opinion. China is indeed the enemy of the Japanese Empire, and it is indeed a bitter drink to form an alliance with them. But the military power of China and Germany is there. They are quite sure of winning the war, and Japan can only share the fruits of victory after the war if it stands on the side of the victor..."

"But after the empire forms an alliance with China, can the interests of the empire be guaranteed? If China and Germany defeat Britain and France, they will be the hegemons of the world... Is it necessary for them to share the fruits of victory with the empire? China swallows the entire eastern world alone Wouldn't it be better with Australia?" Masaki Jinzaburo paused, turned to look at Yamamoto, "Yamamoto-kun, tell me, if you were Luo Yaoguo, would you agree to distribute Australia and Lanyin to the empire?"

"Australia is absolutely not!" Yamamoto 56 said firmly.He went on to say: "If the empire acquires Australia and Lanyin, there will be no bottlenecks in its development in the next few decades. Moreover, the Japanese Empire, without land and resource constraints, will be able to catch up with Upper China in less than 10 years. Within a year, the empire's heavy industry will far surpass that of China! At that time, it will be hard to say who will be the overlord of the East. From the perspective of China's chief of staff, Luo Yaoguo, it is impossible for him not to see this, so he will not sincerely agree with the empire. Allied!"

Regarding the analysis of Yamamoto 56, Nagata Tieshan also nodded slightly to express his temporary agreement, his eyebrows gradually twitched, and sighed: "Yamamoto-kun's analysis is very reasonable, but the problem is that the military strength of the German and Chinese countries is far greater than that of Britain and France are strong, if the empire follows Britain and France and goes to war with Germany, if Britain and France fail in the end, the fate of the empire will be..."

Seeing that Nagata Tieshan has been shaken, Yamamoto 56 showed a smile: "Your Excellency, please don't forget the United States! The industry of the United States exceeds the sum of Germany, China, Britain and France. In the last world war, Britain and France were because of The United States won the victory. I believe that in this world war, the United States will also adopt the same attitude of supporting Britain and France, and even directly participate in the war! If the empire stands with Britain and France, it is tantamount to standing with the United States Yes. If Britain and France fall, the United States will not allow the empire to follow in the footsteps of Britain and France. They will definitely support the empire with all their strength... With the weapons of the United States and the samurai of the empire, the Japanese empire will definitely be invincible. At that time, perhaps China will consider wooing the Empire, after all, the Empire is very close to China, and will become the bridgehead for the United States to threaten to contain China!"

Nagata Tieshan was silent. He only considered the balance of power between Britain, France and China and Germany before, but he did not think of the strong industrial strength and war potential of the behemoth of the United States.Once the United States joins Britain and France, the situation of the world war may be reversed.If the alliance of Japan, the United States, Britain and France can defeat the Sino-German alliance, Japan will definitely be able to achieve its expansion goals on the Asian continent!But the question is can Japan survive until the United States joins the war?

"Yamamoto-kun, is the navy capable of ensuring that the mainland will not be invaded by China?" Nagata Tieshan hesitated for a while, and then said: "Isolationism is prevalent in the United States, and there is a "Neutrality Act" that constrains their government there. Therefore It may not be a matter of time for the United States to directly participate in the war. Maybe the empire will have to rely on the navy to defend it for a long time... If the armored corps of China is allowed to land on the Japanese mainland, then I will become the eternal glory of the Great Japanese Empire Sinner!"

Masaki Jinsaburo also echoed: "Yes! If the navy is not sure about defeating the Chinese navy, then the empire would rather follow China to eat some leftovers than stand with Britain and France at the risk of being ravaged by the Chinese army."

On this issue, it is rare for the two factions of the Imperial Army and the Control of the Japanese Army to reach an agreement.During this period of time, all the newspapers in western countries have introduced the armored forces of Germany and China at length. According to those western reporters, the armored forces of China and Germany are absolutely invincible!In front of thousands of surging tanks, the infantry is as small as ants, as if there is no other way out except to be crushed into meat paste and surrender.Such reports naturally made the soldiers of the Japanese Army feel terrified. After all, the Great Japanese Imperial Army in this time and space is not as ignorant as in history.

Yamamoto 56 smiled and said: "That's why I invite you two to support the Navy's plan." Speaking of this, he waved at the Kabuki who accompanied him, and the women bowed one after another.The young naval captain Kanfu Kengoro who accompanied Yamamoto 56 also stood up, left the room, and went to the corridor to watch the wind.

After seeing the idlers leave, Yamamoto 56's expression became serious.He said: "If the navy and the Chinese navy are pitted against each other, there is no chance of winning!"

"What!?" The two army generals exclaimed and looked at each other again.Nagata Tieshan said: "The Navy has 7 aircraft carriers, and China has only 5. How could it not be defeated?"

山本56苦笑道：“航空母舰多有什么用？真正作战的还是航空母舰上的舰载机呀！现在海军的舰上战斗机是96式舰上战斗机，而支那估计是BF-109或Fw-190战斗机的舰上型。两者根本就不是一个时代的产品，96式装备的是610匹马力的气冷9缸发动机，而BF-109装备的是1200匹马力的液冷式发动机，Fw-190则是1400匹马力的14缸气冷式发动机……光看发动机的性能，就知道帝国的96式打不过人家了！此外，支那海军航空兵还装备有A-4系列的俯冲轰炸机和鱼雷攻击机，这一款飞机的陆军型在同苏联的作战中表现极为优异！我们的97式舰攻和98式舰爆肯定不能和它们相比的。”

Speaking of this, a murderous look flashed across Yamamoto's face, and he lowered his voice a little. "Therefore, I propose to adopt the method of surprise attack, without declaring war, and raid Zhanjiang Naval Port, the home port of China's Nanyang Fleet! As long as all China's aircraft carriers can be bombed and sunk! Within two years, the entire Western Pacific Ocean will be the empire's world. China's No matter how strong the army is, at most it will conquer the Far East. The Japanese army should be able to rely on the mountains of North Korea to block the attack of the Chinese. And without command of the sea, it will not be able to reach the Japanese mainland. At that time, the empire can decide based on the situation on the European battlefield. The goal of the next expansion!"

"What does Yamamoto-kun mean?" Nagata Tieshan asked puzzled.

Yamamoto 56 smiled coldly and said: "Nagata-kun, in fact, the new living space of the empire does not have to be obtained from the enemy, but also from the allies! If the armies of Germany and China are defeated by Britain and France on the European battlefield, then the empire Naturally, new territory can be obtained from the mainland. On the contrary, if Britain and France are defeated, France, which lost its homeland, Britain, which is trapped in the British Isles, and the United States will need the force of the empire to curb the pace of China’s southward movement. For this reason, Lan It is entirely possible that India and Papua New Guinea will be handed over to the empire, at least Britain will acquiesce in the empire's occupation of India and India... unless they want to force the empire to the side of China and Germany."

Lanyin is the abbreviation of the Dutch East Indies, which is the future Indonesia, with a territorial area of ​​190 million square kilometers, while Papua New Guinea is currently a British territory, with a land area of ​​about 46 square kilometers.The two add up to 236 million square kilometers, which is several times larger than the total area of ​​Japan plus North Korea and the Far East!Moreover, Lanyin is also rich in oil, and the Netherlands that ruled there has long been weakened, so it has long been coveted by the Japanese navy.

"Yamamoto-kun's suggestion is completely feasible." Masaki Jinzaburo chuckled, "Even if you can only get the Lan seal, it is completely worthwhile for the empire to pay for the Far East. Moreover, the empire can also hand over the Far East to the CCP to occupy. The CCP and the current control The Kuomintang of the Nationalist government is seemingly incompatible... If the CCP grows stronger, it may cause civil strife in China, and the empire will be able to sit back and relax."

"The premise of this idea is to eliminate the five aircraft carriers of the Nanyang Fleet of the China Navy!" Nagata Tieshan seemed to have discovered something at this time, and he shook his head. What about the Zhanjiang military port? Could it be through the Bashi Strait? According to intelligence, China can deploy powerful air forces in Taiwan."

"Of course we can't pass through the Bashi Channel." Yamamoto 56 smiled mysteriously, "The representative of the British Navy has already hinted that if the combined fleet goes south to fight, the UK has a way to arrange for them to pass near the US-owned Philippines... Theoretically, the US The territorial waters belonging to the Philippines are only 3 nautical miles, and as long as the Americans do not obstruct them, the combined fleet can pass through the high seas."

"Oh?" Nagata and Masaki exclaimed at the same time.

They know that the Japanese navy has turned pro-British since the September 9.18th War.The British and Japanese navies also often hold some exchange activities, and they also sent delegations to each other.After the signing of the "British-Japanese Alliance Treaty", the relationship between the navies of the two countries has gone a step further. They have begun to discuss various combat plans against China. Among them is the joint fleet of the Japanese Navy going south to Nanyang to fight with the Chinese Nanyang Fleet. plan.However, the specific southward route has always troubled the Japanese combined fleet, because Taiwan has been firmly occupied by China, Japan has no possibility to go south from Taiwan, and the Philippines is the sphere of influence of the United States-the United States is a neutral country!But now the United Kingdom has made a guarantee, saying that it can arrange for the Japanese joint fleet to pass through the Philippines.Does this mean that Britain and the United States are getting closer?

"If the United Fleet can pass through the Philippines and approach Zhanjiang Naval Port secretly, how sure is Yamamoto-kun that he can destroy the China Nanyang Fleet?" Nagata Tieshan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"The navy is 56% sure!" Yamamoto 7 smiled deeply: "Although the Japanese aircraft are not as good as China, but that refers to the decisive battle at sea under normal circumstances. It does not mean being attacked by the Imperial Navy when the China Navy is unprepared! That is 600 aircraft carriers, which can use more than 5 carrier-based aircraft! As long as one successful sneak attack, the combined fleet can destroy all [-] Chinese aircraft carriers!"

"When will the navy be ready for a sneak attack?" Yongtian Tieshan asked again.

Yamamoto 56 took a deep breath, "All the preparatory work will be completed in September this year! At that time, I will serve as the commander-in-chief of the United Fleet and personally command the First Air Fleet to attack!"

"Okay!" Nagata Tieshan turned around and bowed to Yamamoto 56. "Then I wish Commander Yamamoto a long life!" He straightened up and fixed his eyes on Yamamoto. "But before that, if China can agree to divide Lanyin, Papua New Guinea, and at least half of Australia to Japan, then the sneak attack plan should be stopped immediately! At the same time, the empire will participate in the war with Britain, France, and even the United States !"

Chapter 0780 new war (two) overall situation

In the same night, in the living room of Luo Yiqun's official residence in Lushan, Jiangxi, a room full of people were already sitting in random places.Everyone was talking about something in a low voice.The people present here include the big bosses of the Kuomintang, the heads of various important departments of the National Government, and some senior officers of the National Defense Army, Army and Navy.

President Luo Yiqun and chief of staff Luo Yaoguo have not yet arrived.The military and political officials of the Kuomintang were whispering there, and there were only humming and low voices in the conference room.The staff of the President's Attendant in military uniform brought fragrant tea and some snacks to all the people present.

Tonight's meeting is a rather unusual one.Because just this afternoon, German head of state Adolf Hitler officially notified China and Russia that the German Army's military operations in Russia had officially ended, and the main force of the German army would withdraw from Russian territory by the end of September 1938.Everyone here knows that Hitler's move means that Germany is about to launch a war on the Western Front!And China will definitely follow Germany to participate in the war against Britain and France, because this rising imperialist China has long coveted the rich Nanyang colonies occupied by Britain, France and the Netherlands.And the only way to claim and hold that rich land forever is to join Germany in defeating England and France, and possibly Japan!And today's conference is to discuss whether China and Japan will be war or peace in the next few years.

In fact, the military power of Britain and France in Asia is not worth mentioning at all.If Japan stands on the side of China and Germany at this time, then the whole of Southeast Asia, South Asia, and even Australia can easily succeed.On the contrary, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of fighting between China and Japan, especially the United States is very likely to adopt a strategy of supporting Japan to contain China!But the question is, how much does it cost to win over Japan?And how much of a threat will a Japan, which has grown stronger in World War II, pose to China's long-term interests?For this reason, the party and state officials who attended the meeting had different opinions, and there was no unanimous opinion.

Luo Yaoguo, the de facto helm of the Republic of China, also thought about this for a long time.At this time, he has discovered that the Second World War in this time and space is completely different from the history!China and Germany jointly annihilated the Soviet Union, and each gained rich spoils. Under the rule of China and Germany!Although there is still a Russian Empire with a relatively small territory and population, it is already very weak, and it still has to face the problem of "communist suppression" in the country.Therefore, Queen Anastasia and her government absolutely dare not challenge China and Germany.

As long as China and Germany, which rule almost the entire Eurasian continent, are truly united, defeating Britain, France, and Japan is no problem. The only threat that needs to be considered is the United States!At present, the industrial strength of the United States may exceed the sum of China, Germany, Britain, France, Japan and Italy.Moreover, the population of the United States is not small, and its resources are also very rich.In addition, according to intelligence, the United States has now launched the massive "Manhattan Project", and it is estimated that in 2 to 3 years, the United States will also become a nuclear country with atomic bombs!

Another point that Luo Yaoguo had to consider was that the Sino-German alliance would not last forever!Because to maintain a military alliance, one of the most basic factors is to have a common enemy.In the past, the common enemy of China and Germany was the Soviet Union, now it is Britain and France, and in the future it may be the United States... But what if there is a war between China and Germany and the United States?If China and Germany are united, it is still possible to defeat the United States, but after the defeat, will China and Germany become rivals?Moreover, will Germany, which defeated the United States, become the leader of the white world?How strong would a white world under German leadership be?

Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo couldn't help but feel shivers down his spine!This guy Hitler is an outright racist. In this guy's mind, the yellow-skinned Chinese must be an inferior race... It is estimated that there is no possibility for Hitler to agree with Germany and China to share world hegemony!So it was decided not to let the whole white world surrender at the feet of Hitler and Germany.

Similarly, if the United States defeats Germany and becomes the leader of the white world, China will also have no good fruit to eat.The US-Soviet Cold War in history, nine out of ten will become the Sino-US Cold War!In the end, China's end will not be any better than that of the Soviet Union.As for China defeating Virtue, or Virtue losing both in the war, and China winning to dominate the world... Hitler and Roosevelt were not fools.They will not give China the opportunity to stay out of the matter and reap the benefits.

Therefore, China's national policy can only pursue a situation where China, Germany and the United States stand side by side. Only a worldwide "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the most in line with China's national interests, and it is also the most realistic choice.As for using Japan as a weapon against the United States, uh, will Japan, which produces 200 million tons of steel per year, fight against the United States, which produces 5000 million tons of steel per year and is about to have an atomic bomb?Besides, right now, Nagata Tieshan is leading the Japanese army.This kind of thing should never happen, right?

……

Luo Yiqun gently put down the folder in his hand, and unconsciously knocked on the table with his fingers.His nephew, Marshal Luo Yaoguo, Chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, was sitting opposite him holding a cup of tea.The uncle and nephew have been discussing for a whole afternoon in this plainly decorated office.The content of the discussion was also the next phase of the war and the relationship between China and Japan.

To be honest, the current top KMT leaders are not particularly rowdy.After all, Japan has been a lot more honest after the 9.18 war, and it seems that it has given up its ambitions for Chinese territory.At the same time, the Chinese have no ambitions for Japanese territory.Those few small islands with volcanoes everywhere, earthquakes every now and then, and with poor resources and narrow land, can be of great help to the Chinese imperialists who already have a territory of more than 2000 million square kilometers (including the Central Asian Republic). How attractive is it?It seems that there is not much profit in occupying Japan. Not only is there no profit, but you also have to worry about the stomachs of 7000 to [-] million Japanese... So President Luo did not approve of his nephew's proposal to go to war against Japan, but wanted to draw Japan into the anti-British and French movement alliance.

"If Japan joins us, the victory of this world war should be sealed, right?" Luo Yiqun paused for a moment, and then continued: "If we start a war against Japan, if we can't wipe out the Japanese navy in the first place, Japan will become a Even if Britain and France fail, Japan may turn to the United States and become a pawn for the United States to contain China, unless we occupy Japan, but the resistance of the Japanese..."

"Uncle, don't worry, we will occupy Japan!" Luo Yaoguo's answer was very affirmative, and his face seemed to be full of confidence.

"What? You really want to occupy Japan!" Luo Yiqun had a surprised expression on his face, and he looked up at his nephew.

"That's right, Japan is a very important country, and it is also the gateway to the east of mainland China." Luo Yaoguo said calmly, "So it is necessary to occupy Japan, and it will definitely be occupied."

Luo Yiqun was very worried about his nephew's growing ambitions, he sighed lightly and shook his head slightly. "Fuwen, you don't understand the Japanese, they can't obey our leadership, and everyone will take up arms to resist the Wehrmacht that landed! Unless we kill all the Japanese, the people on that land will Keep resisting!"

It is not surprising that President Luo had this kind of thinking. Historically, Americans also thought so at the end of World War II, but the development of things later was unexpected.Luo Yaoguo, who is familiar with this period of history, just smiled slightly when he heard his uncle's words, and said, "Uncle, you can rest assured. As long as we conquer the Japanese, they will definitely obey us wholeheartedly. Maybe at that time Japan will be China's most reliable helper."

Luo Yiqun shook his head suspiciously, and sighed: "Will Japan be our helper? Fuwen, you are too far-fetched!"

"Whether it's whimsical or not, we'll know when the time comes." Luo Yaoguo smiled and put down the teacup in his hand. "Uncle, there can only be one leader in the entire eastern world, and that is China! So conquering Japan is the only option. At that time, Japan will either obey or be destroyed. There will never be a third way out."

"Destroy Japan..." Luo Yiqun seemed to have thought of something, his eyebrows were tightly knit together, and he muttered: "Why can't China and Japan unite to deal with the Western powers? Aren't we all of the same language and the same race?" Asian?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled deeply, "It is precisely because we are all in Asia and are neighboring countries that we cannot coexist peacefully. If we allow Japan to follow us in this world war, it will definitely breed tigers in the future. And what conditions are we going to use to win over Japan? Give Australia to Japan? Why can’t we take such a good territory by ourselves? That will be the foundation of our dominance for the next 1000 years.” Having said that, he stood up and directed Uncle made a military salute. "President, the time is almost up, it's time to announce our latest national policy to the outsiders!"

"The latest national policy?"

"Yes! Our ultimate goal in this world war should be to pursue the three countries of China, Germany and the United States to carve up the world! And in Asia and Oceania, China should become the sole hegemon. As for Japan, it must be dealt a heavy blow from the very beginning!"

Just when the two were about to leave the office, Lieutenant General Fan Hanjie, the director of the presidential palace's attendant office, suddenly walked in quickly, holding a stack of telegrams in his hand.

"President, Assistant Marshal." Fan Hanjie gave a military salute to the two, and then passed the telegram to Luo Yaoguo. "It was sent to the assistant commander in person by Director Wu of the Military Intelligence Bureau."

Luo Yaoguo took the telegram and glanced at it hastily, then handed it to his uncle. "It's news from Japan. The situation seems to have changed. Yongtian Tieshan is going to send Puyi back, and he will make peace with us."

……

At this time, in the living room of the Luo Mansion, the important party and state officials who had been waiting for a while had automatically formed a circle, where they were arguing about the upcoming new round of European war.And the core of this circle is Chiang Kai-shek and An Sihua, the two of them get together, not because they have colluded together.It's that both of them are about to leave China to fight in the West!

Chiang Kai-shek has just been appointed as the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and he will go to Volgograd, where the headquarters of the Expeditionary Force is located, to command the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which is composed of 6 infantry corps, to attack the Bolshevik Army in Transcaucasus.And An Sihua's latest position is the commander of the First Armored Group Army of the Chinese National Defense Forces.
