As Zhuo Fei guessed, the Japanese cabinet sent Kazuo Suzuki to Java to meet Zhuo Fei, simply to stabilize the offensive independent army first, after getting the Chongqing government, the only war plan of the Japanese now is to attack the Far East in the north, and form a flank with the German army against the Soviet Union. In order to persuade the Japanese government to send troops to the Far East, Hitler sent an unprecedented envoy to Japan and promised to hand over Siberia to Japan after the war.

Alaska, an overseas enclave of the United States, is across the sea from Siberia, and as long as it occupies Siberia, it can take advantage of the situation to occupy Alaska. Taking Alaska would be separated from the mainland of the United States by only one Canada, and even Hitler would not have imagined that the Japanese would have planned such a big game of chess. Arrogance is in the nature of the Japanese, and after receiving the help of Mexico to expand the war in the Americas, the Japanese are now arrogant to the extreme.

Fortunately, there are still sober people in Japan, so the Japanese cabinet will hold armistice and peace talks with the Chongqing government, and will use a large amount of gold to buy Zhuo Fei. Kazuo Suzuki's futile return caused a change in the game of chess planned by the Japanese cabinet, and if it was not handled well, the game would eventually end in defeat. The Japanese are arrogant, so they will never allow to lose, especially this game of chess about Japan's national fortunes.

Zhuo Fei did not accept the 200 kilograms of gold brought by Kazuo Suzuki this time, and in order to show his sincerity, he also took the initiative to return the Japanese prisoners of war captured by the Independent Army to Kazuo Suzuki. But all this done by Zhuo Fei did not completely dissipate the anger of the Japanese cabinet members, because just one later, the intelligence officers of the Japanese Special High School who were lurking on the island of Java found out that the Soviet envoy had rushed to Java to meet Zhuo Fei.

The Japanese didn't know that this news was deliberately released by Zhuo Fei, they only knew that the Soviets and the umbrella must not be allowed to agree, so Kazuo Suzuki, who escorted the prisoners of war back home, turned around directly from the Philippines and came to Java Island again. "Mr. Suzuki, the umbrella company is an independent joint-stock company, and as for who the umbrella company meets, this is our own private matter, and I personally believe that even if Japan is a sovereign country, it should not accuse us casually."

Zhuo Fei showed his indignation in a timely manner, but in Suzuki Kazuo's view, this is precisely the performance of Zhuo Fei's fierce inwardness, in Suzuki Kazuo's opinion, almost everyone will react in the same way as Zhuo Fei when they are caught with a sore foot. "General Zhuo, I always thought that the Great Japanese Empire and the Umbrella Company would become partners, compared to us who are also yellow-skinned, those white-skinned Europeans are not trustworthy people, General Zhuo, haven't you seen the strength and advantages of the Great Japanese Empire until now?"

For what Suzuki Kazuo said, Zhuo Fei chose to remain silent, and Suzuki Kazuo seized the opportunity to start preaching to Zhuo Fei as much as possible about the set of remarks that good birds choose trees to perch on, and all the words in and out of the words were words to persuade Zhuo Fei to cooperate with Japan. "Mr. Suzuki, I personally have no objection to cooperating with Japan." Zhuo Fei's words made Kazuo Suzuki instantly excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, if he could pull the umbrella onto the Japanese chariot, it would be a big boost to the overall strategy of the empire.

But before Kazuo Suzuki's excitement continued, Zhuo Fei suddenly changed his meaning, "The umbrella company is a joint-stock company, and I am also responsible for those shareholders, after all, the umbrella company is not something I can say alone." If Japan is serious about cooperating with our Umbrella, I hope that Japan will recognize the Umbrella Company's de facto control over the areas currently controlled by the Independence Army, provided that I promise that it will not continue to attack the Japanese army. ”

After getting Zhuo Fei's conditions, Kazuo Suzuki sent a telegram to the Japanese mainland as soon as possible, and the Japanese cabinet members who received Kazuo Suzuki's telegram also met again to discuss the matter. The area controlled by the Independence Army is not small, from the five countries of South Asia to the south, along West Malaysia, Sumatra and Java, and if the Japanese Adult Umbrella Company has actual control of these areas, it means that the area controlled by the Umbrella Company directly cuts off the sea route between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.

In the eyes of the Japanese cabinet members, the condition proposed by Zhuo Fei can no longer be described as harsh, and it can even be said that if the Japanese government agrees to this condition, then the Japanese government will have to pay almost everything that the Southern Advance Corps has gained, except for the Philippines and a small part of Indonesian territory. And this is something that the Japanese government will never agree to, so it is not even necessary for the cabinet to make a decision, and the representatives of the military have already shouted loudly.

"General Zhuo, such conditions are too aggressive, and my country will never agree to them." After receiving a reply telegram from the cabinet, Kazuo Suzuki immediately went to see Zhuo Fei, who did not choose to hide it, but told Zhuo Fei the truth, and tried to persuade Zhuo Fei to withdraw this condition that embarrassed the cabinet.

But Zhuo Fei only bowed slightly. Opening. "I can understand your country's feelings, but I believe that your country itself knows very well what kind of situation your country is in today. I believe that your country is anxious to negotiate peace with the Chungking government in order to send troops north to fight the Germans in front and back to flank the Soviet troops, and I have already received confirmation from the Soviet envoy. Zhuo Fei's words made Suzuki Kazuo disgraced, he was most worried about this along the way, he didn't expect Zhuo Fei to really see the empire's strategy.

"Mr. Suzuki..."Zhuo Fei's tone paused slightly, and took Kazuo Suzuki to look at his life, and Zhuo Fei continued, "Actually, the umbrella company doesn't care who it works with, but the premise is that the partner does not put the umbrella company on the brink of danger. It is very wise for your country to abandon the strategy of sorting out China, China is much bigger than you, and it will definitely not happen overnight if you want to annex the whole of China. ”

"What I want to say is, since your country's war on the American continent is going very well, why don't you send heavy troops to expand the scale of the war, and why do you have to go north to the Far East? Could it be that there is a great treasure buried beneath the desolate Siberia? How can it attract the attention of your cabinet and military even more than the rich American continent? If it were me, I would never have made such a decision. The content of Zhuo Fei's conversation with Kazuo Suzuki was soon transmitted back to Japan in the form of a telegram, but the Japanese cabinet did not stop the plan while reflecting on the northbound strategy, because the German envoy stayed in Tokyo and did not leave.

Hitler's envoy did not leave Japan in order to urge the Japanese army to go north to start the Far East War, but Zhuo Fei's remarks made the Japanese cabinet members loosen. Japan has already paid a lot in this war, and if it does not reap the rich war dividends in return, then Japan will be in a situation from which it will never recover. The Japanese cabinet members saw an opportunity to annex the entire American continent, but they also admitted that Zhuo Fei was right, that it would take too much of Japan's resources and troops.

Compared with Zhuo Fei's conditions, the Japanese government could make very little concessions, and just when the meeting between Kazuo Suzuki and Zhuo Fei had reached a stalemate, the Japanese troops originally stationed in Northeast China and Korea suddenly made a change. However, in the past two or three days, except for a few places where Japanese troops were still stationed in the entire territory of Korea, the vast majority of the Japanese troops had already marched to the Far East according to the order.

After all, the armistice negotiations between China and Japan are still ongoing, and the Japanese army is so strange that the movement of troops, is it not afraid that the Chinese army will take the opportunity to outflank their back road? When the Japanese army was trying its best to draw troops north to the Far East, most of the Chinese troops who had been given a chance to breathe remained in place, and even if there were signs of movement of the Chinese army, it was to prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking again.

Did the Chinese succeed in peace talks with Japan? The devastated allies who were ravaged by the Axis were shocked, and they never took the war in Asia seriously, but they did not want the Asian countries that had been ignored by them to become a weighing stone capable of shaping the world situation. As a result of the changes in Asia, European countries have sent so-called special envoys to Asia to China, and the allies led by the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union have also actively lobbied China to join and tried to persuade China to raise the banner of resistance against Japan again.

The situation would change so strangely that Zhuo Fei never expected it, and he didn't know that all this was because of the strong appearance of the umbrella company. The talks with Kazuo Suzuki have not been fruitful, and Zhuo Fei is not in a hurry, anyway, the whole of Java is already under the control of the independence army, and the first batch of coalition prisoners of war who left by boat have successfully returned to Australia.

What he has to do now is to build Western Australia into a livable city suitable for the survival and development of the umbrella company as much as possible before the Australian new army attacks Southeast Asia. The Far East Campaign began as scheduled, and hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops deployed in the Far East immediately fell into the frenzied offensive of the Japanese army, and in just a few days, the frenzied Japanese army had already torn through several lines of defense of the Soviet army and took the opportunity to march into the hinterland of the Far East.

While marveling at the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Zhuo Fei secretly ordered the elite of the Independent Army to go to Western Australia to receive the territory, and at the same time sent a large number of engineers and machinery from Ruili to Australia. The five South Asian countries controlled by the Independence Army have become the export of supplies for the construction of Western Australia by the umbrella company, and a large number of rough-processed minerals and timber are transported from the five South Asian countries to Western Australia, and the fleets that transport these materials to Australia will be ordered to carry varying numbers of indigenous laborers on the return journey.
