Chapter 24: Different reactions
"Boss, I just got the news that the Japanese army attacking the American continent and the Mexican army have captured the whole territory of New Mexico, and the Japanese army has now advanced eastward into Texas." Zhuo Fei fell into a state of sluggishness for a moment when this new news came, Zhuo Fei spent most of his energy on the new Australian base during this time, but he didn't expect the Japanese army to attack so fast, if New Mexico was lost, then where would the Americans' nuclear test base be built?
The most powerful weapon in World War II was the atomic bomb created by the Americans, and only two atomic bombs were used to completely surrender Japan, which had been struggling to hold on. Now that New Mexico has been jointly captured by the Japanese army and the Mexican army, the Los Alamos base that the Americans originally planned to build in New Mexico is estimated to be useless.
Could it be that the frequency of the little butterfly's flapping wings too fast will cause the Americans' plan to build an atomic bomb to deviate? Zhuo Fei, who came back to his senses, couldn't help but start looking at himself. After Zhuo Fei carefully looked at the map, he realized that the Japanese army attacking the west coast of the United States was actually advancing so fast with the cooperation of the Mexican army. The Japanese army currently attacking the continental United States not only captured California, Arizona, and Nevada alone, but also cooperated with the Mexican army to capture New Mexico while attacking Nevada.
Once the Japanese army continues to attack, Utah, Colorado, and Texas will become the new offensive direction of the Japanese-Mexican alliance, so that the Japanese army can reach into the central hinterland of the United States. After carefully looking at the map, Zhuo Fei also realized that most of the places that the Japanese army is currently attacking are vast and sparsely populated, and the difficulty of the attack is relatively simple. But in any case, if the Japanese army had maintained such an offensive momentum and speed, it would definitely not have been easy for the Americans to drive the Japanese army back to Asia.
Zhuo Fei was vigilant when the war in the Americas deviated, and immediately ordered the umbrella recruit units deployed in South Asia and Sumatra to speed up the pace of training. The Americans lost New Mexico, this exciting news not only made Zhuo Fei panic, but also made the Chongqing government dumbfounded instantly, could it be that even the invincible Americans were not opponents of the Japanese army?
After the surrender of France and the siege of Britain, the United States represented the interests of the Allied powers in the world. But before anyone could see anything suspicious from the Soviet-German war, the Americans lost another state, and this sudden change made the onlookers panic. "Gentlemen, toast to the victory of the Imperial Army in the Americas, ten thousand victories." While the news that the Americans have lost New Mexico has caused panic in most countries around the world, Japan itself is jubilant, especially the Japanese cabinet, which is preoccupied with Southeast Asian issues, has reinvigorated.
"According to a report from the War Department, the forces of the Imperial Expedition to the Americas have taken full control of the three continents on the west coast of the United States, and will take New Mexico together with the Mexican army. According to the army's previous offensive plan, the next step of the imperial army was to unite with the Mexican army to attack Texas, and then march east along Louisiana to control the entire Gulf of Mexico. As long as we control the Gulf of Mexico and Florida, the Reich will have the conditions and the basis to manufacture and repair ships in the Americas, and with the cooperation of the German submarine forces, the Reich's plan to control the entire territory of the United States is just around the corner. ”
The Japanese cabinet members who participated in the celebration shouted in unison long live the emperor, and with such a strong advantage, the Japanese cabinet members had already begun to fantasize about the prosperity of Japan after occupying the whole of the United States. Equally encouraged was the German army, which was fighting against the Soviet army, and even Hitler did not expect that the Asian allies had such combat effectiveness, and with the Japanese and Mexican armies in check, Hitler seemed to have seen the absolute certainty of victory over the Soviet Union.
Over the next week, the world was completely disorganized, and the Japanese-Mexican forces that had taken New Mexico were attacking Texas non-stop, and the Americans had to gather heavy forces to stop the Japanese-Mexican attack. Because of the emptiness of troops, the U.S. military even pulled the new recruits who were still in the training camp into the battlefield, and even the cowboys in Texas spontaneously formed cavalry units, learning from the methods of their ancestors to deal with the Indians, relying on the ability of the cavalry to move quickly to attack the Japanese-Mexican coalition forces along the road.
The German army that fought with the Soviet army on the Eastern Front was also like a chicken blood, and all kinds of heavy weapons took turns to fight, causing heavy casualties to the Soviet army. "Chairman Kim, now is the time for us to attack, if the Far East cannot stop the Japanese army, if there is no Soviet army in the Far East to deter the Japanese army, then North Korea will lose hope of recovering the country." In the base camp of the Korean Restoration Army, which had been entrenched in the mountains of northern Korea, Malyukochev was fooling Kim Young-hee, who was undecided, and immediately sent troops.
The Japanese army, which had mobilized heavy troops, attacked the Soviet army in the Far East strongly, and while the Soviet army fought back strongly, it also suffered heavy casualties and losses, and Malyukochev had to instigate the Restoration Army, which had just been renamed the Korean People's Army, to support the Soviet army in the Far East. In order to be able to fully control the People's Army, with the instigation and support of her family, Kim Young-hee forced Zhuo Yan away, but on the issue of how to support the Soviet Army in the Far East, Kim Young-hee, who had already served as the chairman of the Military Commission of the People's Army, had her own ideas.
"Mr. Malyukochev, the Soviet Union and the DPRK are close neighbors, and the Soviet government has provided our People's Army with a large amount of weapons and equipment. In this regard, we, the Korean People's Army, will not forget the Soviet Union, a good friend, but I personally have a different view on the issue of sending troops to support the Soviet troops in the Far East. "I have been in charge of the Restoration Army for a long time, and Kim Young-hee has a little more of a high-ranking and powerful spirit, even Malyukochev is not good at turning his face with Kim Young-hee in person.
Kim Ying-hee has made up her mind that she will not rashly support the Soviet Army in the Far East, because the Japanese army attacking the Soviet Army in the Far East has a million people, and the 30,000 horses of the People's Army are probably not enough for the Japanese army. "Mr. Malyukochev, at the moment we have to face the fact that our KPA is weak. At present, the People's Army has only more than 30,000 Manchu Communists, and if they want to support the Far East with this amount of troops, I am afraid that they will only add to the Japanese army's achievements in vain. Kim Young-hee tried her best to make her voice sound sincere, but before she could finish her words, Malyukochev couldn't help but shout.
"Chairman Kim, do you really want to watch the Far East be controlled by the Japanese army? Don't forget, once the Japanese army has settled the Soviet forces in the Far East, their next target will be your People's Army. According to the consistent character of the Japanese army, after the Soviet army in the Far East is eliminated, it will definitely transfer troops to completely deal with the Korean People's Army units entrenched in the northern mountains.
In the face of Malyukochev's questioning, instead of getting angry, Kim Ying-hee explained in a good-natured manner, "Mr. Malyukochev, I think you misunderstood me, I didn't say that the People's Army would not support the Soviet Army in the Far East. Seeing that the anger in Malyukochev's eyes was slowly dissipating with his explanation, Kim Young-hee, who was smiling secretly in her heart, continued. Mr. Malyukochev, I know that the Soviet Union has the support of the Chinese, and we should treat the People's Army as a surprise army, and find the right time to attack the Japanese army when the Chinese army moves north to attack the Japanese army. ”
Kim Young-hee explained this, and Malyukochev, who had calmed down, finally couldn't help but think to himself in the direction that Kim Young-hee said, the KPA was weak, and even if it supported the Far East, it could not pose a real threat to the Japanese army, but it might be used as a surprise soldier to achieve unexpected results. Malyukochev sent the situation of the People's Army back to Moscow by radio, and after deliberations and discussions among the Soviet high-level leaders, the Soviet Union decided to urge China to transfer troops north as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, drag with the Soviets first, and only get half of the military aid promised to us, when will the rest be delivered, and when will we go north." The officials in charge of liaising with the Soviet envoys returned to Chongqing to bring the Soviets' opinions to Chiang Kai-shek, but they did not want Chiang Kai-shek to instruct the negotiators to engage in tai chi with the Soviets. "Stalin is treating us all as fools, using some weapons that are not needed and wants us Chinese to help them with their lives, and if they don't come out with something real this time, we will directly treat it as if nothing has happened."
Chiang Kai-shek decided to be a scoundrel this time, so he specially asked Mao Zedong to exchange opinions, and after seeking Mao Zedong's opinion, Chiang Kai-shek rarely toughened up for the first time. The Soviet envoy failed to get a positive answer in Chongqing, and Stalin, who was far away in Moscow, flew into a rage and even scolded the Chinese government as a scoundrel. But the situation in the Far East was already precarious, and Stalin, even though he was angry with the Chinese government, had to accept Chiang Kai-shek's new conditions.
A large number of Soviet-style weapons and equipment entered China from Mongolia, including Chiang Kai-shek's newly proposed large-caliber artillery and heavy tanks. Knowing that the Soviets had supported the Chinese army with a large number of weapons and equipment, the Japanese troops assembled in the northeast had to be mobilized to concentrate on guarding against the Chinese troops that might move north, and the clouds of war began to converge in the northern region.
