Battle of the Third Reich

Japan has previously had very high expectations for the establishment of the German-Japanese alliance. The most enthusiastic about this idea is the strength of the Japanese army. On the contrary, the Japanese navy has always been opposed by a force. Warlords.

After Germany defeated Britain and France, the army’s call for alliances became louder, and the Japanese seemed to see the hope of dominating Asia. They believed that as long as they received the support of the Third Reich, Japan could use European traditional colonial power without scruples. All expelled from Asia.

These affluent Asian colonies have already made Japan fall for a long time. As long as they occupy the Anglo-French Dutch colony with rich metal and oil resources, Japan can continue this difficult Sina War and eventually create an absolute **** by the Japanese. Of "Asian Asia".

In the so-called Great East Asia Co-prosperity Circle, this concept has already appeared in Japan, but it has not been officially publicized, because Japan also knows that this kind of speech will definitely stimulate many Western powers and even cause a rebound in the entire white society. Japan is not yet ready to challenge all the powerful enemies. At present, it can only hide its body and lower its body. Only after accumulating enough strength, it can give the strong enemy a thunder blow and push the enemy into hell.

Japan’s Southward Expedition plan was officially put on the table after the Germans landed in the UK in early September. The planned South Asian Raiders have begun to gather along the coast of Shanghai and Zhejiang. The Army has also concentrated a group of staff officers sent to Taiwan Island, where In the tropical rain forest, research and experiments on combat in the tropical regions have been launched.

The Japanese Cabinet estimates that all the preparation work will be completed in about a year. It takes a lot of effort to reserve the military materials needed for this battle, plus the deployment of troops, the recruitment of soldiers, adaptive tactical training in line with the local environment, joint combat exercises in the army and navy, etc. , Lin Lin always came down, and now this preparation time is actually very fast.

The problem is that most of Japan’s current plans, the setting of its international environment are based on the background of Germany’s overall tendency to Japan. Japan hopes that after the war, Germany will contain the hostile forces of Europe and America for Japan.

If the support of Germany is lost, these actions of Japan are equal to challenging the entire Western white world. Even the craziest Japanese staff will dare not make such a decision.

Therefore, all German actions have affected Japan's follow-up national strategy. Japanese military and political officials cannot help but feel panicked about the German mission to China.

Germany is obviously not following the path that Japan had originally expected. The German head of state suddenly seemed interested in Asia. This is really not a happy news for Japan. Germany is extending its tentacles to Asian colonies in various European countries. Japanese intelligence agencies have discovered traces of German armed forces throughout Asia. These signs can't help but cause Japan to have some doubts about Germany's attitude.

Is Germany ready to be an enemy of Japan? In theory, this should not be the case. Japan and Germany have always maintained a close and good relationship. Except for several recent conflicts caused by accidents, red face has never happened before. Countless Japanese army officers once went to Germany to study military affairs. German heroes and heroes were also admired by Japanese soldiers. The Japanese regarded Germany as a mentor and friend who was far away from a foreign land. This is the heart of the entire country.

Is Germany going to abandon Japan? Many people flashed this question in their hearts, and thought about the consequences carefully, people could not help but shudder. Germany has controlled most of Europe, and France and the United Kingdom have allied with it. Once Germany turns to enemies with Japan, Japan will definitely not be faced with a single power, and may be an entire European coalition.

The Japanese navy can guarantee to keep its opponents out of Asia in a short time, but no one can tell how long this situation can last. And don’t forget that Japan still has two strong enemies, looking at this tiny island nation at both ends of the Pacific Ocean.

Although the Soviet Union in the North intended to reconcile with Japan, the Japanese knew the conduct of the Russian nation and could not be trusted. They must always be vigilant about this beast. The Army has long been aware of it. No matter what happens, North Korea and Manchuria China’s border defense cannot be relaxed at all times.

Another powerful enemy is the United States, which is far away from the ocean. Japan has long seen the true face of this country that advertises freedom. While talking about the declaration against war, it continues to deliver the strategic materials that Japan desperately needs to Japan. Here, at least 30% of the results and resources captured by Japanese soldiers in China were thrown into the pockets of the greedy American chaebols.

There is no justice at all in this world of weak meat and strong food. Capitalists and chaebols only have eternal interests. If they can get enough profit, they can even trade with demons, even if they need to sell their own souls.

Many people in Japan hold the idea that almost all the powers in Western history have been able to rise rapidly through war and plunder. Japan is only adhering to the consistent path of Western powers. Now you cruel imperialists have taken off their **** coats and acted as a gentleman's face, and began to accuse Japan of waging a war of aggression, but don't think that what Japan is doing is actually what they did.

This kind of speech is very concealed, and it is very marketable among some people with simple thinking. It seems reasonable, but in fact it is playing tricks to secretly change the concept, in order to free itself from the war crimes committed. To put it bluntly, a small robber was suppressed by a group of big robbers, and the Japanese even felt quite wronged.

The attitude of the United States towards the Sino-Japanese war has been wavering. This has nothing to do with its domestic political struggle. The Roosevelt New Deal did not make the US economy much better. The domestic trend of isolationism once dominated. People think that anything that happens outside the country has nothing to do with the United States. They refuse to intervene in any foreign conflict. In their view, the most important thing is to restructure the country's economy. It is better to do more business with that leisure.

The United States does not actually involve much interest in China. He entered the Chinese market too late, and it is not as deep-rooted as the veteran imperialists. Therefore, he has been clamoring for open door interests. In fact, he is eyeing that most of the Chinese market share is European. The other powers took over.

US capital has been cruising on the edge of the interest circle in the Republic of China, and has not established much real economy on this land. Most of the time, it only does some import and export of raw materials in the cracks between the United Kingdom and France. There is not much interest worthy of their attention.

From the beginning of the opening of the Chinese gateway until 1940, the total investment of the United States in China was only US$110 million, while his investment in Japan during the same period exceeded US$170 million, which was divided by the capital of the great powers. The independent markets of China and Japan are more favored by American capital.

The more important point is that the United States does not have much interest in the development of the economically backward Far East market. They just regard this as a source of raw materials for production. At this time, the United States is mainly dealing with Europe. Fifty percent of U.S. exports are sold to European countries. Compared to the Asian market, which only occupies 12% of foreign trade exports, European trade interests make Americans more concerned, and this is also history A major reason why the upper US will choose the strategy of Europe before Asia.

Now, Japan's strong rise in Asia has caused the US official to be vigilant. The country is becoming more and more industrialized. The exported products have begun to seize the share that originally belonged to the United States. The dominance of the Chinese market has seriously violated American businessmen. For the benefit of mosquitoes, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also a piece of meat. Coupled with the superiority of the white race, it is pushed out of the market by a group of Asian yellow skins.

The attitude of the United States towards Japan is rapidly becoming cold. The first is that the United States found that Japan’s oil and water have been almost squeezed out. The wartime economy has caused serious damage to normal business activities. The economy has shown signs of decline. The United States has found that its products are already very good. It is difficult to enter the Japanese market. Originally, Japan was the largest source of raw silk in the United States, and exports accounted for more than 90% of the total raw silk imported from the United States. However, as the war continued, the export of Japanese textile raw materials began to decline rapidly, and American manufacturers had to start looking for other raw materials. Source, Japan has become less important to the United States.

Another reason is that because of the end of the European War, the threat of the United States in the direction of the Atlantic is increasing. The US government is considering shifting the national defense center to the east coast line. The corresponding west coast defense force will be weakened in a short time. Therefore, in order to maintain the national security of the United States in the Pacific direction, the United States believes that it is necessary to beat Japan in advance, and under the current situation that the situation can still be controlled, the arrogance of Japan will be eliminated.

This island country currently has the second navy in the world, and the US Navy is always the ultimate imaginary enemy all year round. Once he takes advantage of the decline of the US Asia-Pacific defense force, if he takes some small actions, it will inevitably affect US national security. There is a serious threat.

At this time, Americans are very happy that the Japanese empire has a weakness that cannot be hidden. That is, this small island is poor in resources, and 90% of the raw materials and energy need to be imported from abroad. With the information currently available to Americans, most of the country’s strategic reserves have been consumed, and now it is only necessary to cut off its source of resources, not afraid that it will refuse to obey. Because if there is no fuel, no matter how powerful the ship is just a piece of scrap iron floating on the sea.

At present, the international situation facing Japan is already very severe. If the United States begins to exert pressure on Japan, then Germany will change its diplomatic attitude towards Japan. This will be a completely unbearable impact on Japan. The Japanese have never forgotten that year. The humiliation when the three countries interfered in the return of the Jiaodong Peninsula, is this scene now before them again?

The Japanese Cabinet looks forward to Oshima’s trip to learn from the Germans the other party’s real intentions. At this time, even if it is only a verbal guarantee from the head of the one-nation, it can also restore the domestic panic's heart.

Even if the single country temporarily maintains friendship and harmony with Japan, it only needs to survive this year and a half to allow Japan to get a chance to breathe, and wait until the empire has accumulated enough power to win the source of South Asian resources and gain stability in one fell swoop. After the war resources, winning the war in China will no longer be a problem. At that time, the Great Japanese Empire, which occupies the whole of Asia, will not be afraid of any enemy threats, even if the opponent is an invincible and independent country.

"Germany will not change the neutral policy it holds during the Sino-Japanese War. This point of your country does not need to worry at all. If there is any policy change in Germany, it will definitely notify your country in advance." Xu Jun replied with a smile.

"I believe that the Japanese Cabinet and His Majesty the Emperor will be very happy to hear the news. Japan will never forget the friendship with the German Empire. If possible, my country hopes to invite Marshal Blumberg to go to Japan after completing China’s mission. Visit. We are looking forward to the visit of Your Excellency Marshal, and I guarantee that the German mission will be received at the highest level." Oshima was recognized by Xu Jun himself, and he was overjoyed, but he finally remembered his mission and quickly proposed An invitation for a diplomatic visit to the Special Envoy of Blumberg.

"This may require some communication with the Marshal. I personally don't think there is much problem. After all, Japan is very close to China. I believe that Marshal Blumberg will look forward to a trip to Japan. If it is not for Germany now, It’s too busy. I want to go to Japan to see it in person. I’ve heard from my subordinates in your country. The scenery there is great and the food is delicious.” Xu Jun rarely quipped with the Japanese ambassador.

"On behalf of the Imperial Government of Japan, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the head of state. I will pass on the friendly feelings of the head of state to Japan. I can be praised by the head of state. All Japanese people will be proud and happy." Shimahiro stood up with an excited expression, and bowed deeply to Xu Jun.
