Japan has been dormant for 20 years since it was almost blown back to the Stone Age by China's 45-day "Goddess of Dawn" strategic bombing in the Second Sino-Japanese War. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info: Japan, having lost almost all of its overseas colonies, now has only a continental foothold in the southern part of Sakhalin. The garrison of the Chinese Navy and Air Force in the Ryukyu Kingdom is like a sharp blade on Japan's chest, allowing the Japanese Navy to act cautiously, and it no longer has the demeanor of the little overlord of East Asia in the past.

However, Germany fought in Europe, and even the Czech Republic, Poland, Benelux, Norway, Denmark, France, and even England, the former overlord of the Seven Seas, were occupied by Germany a quarter, and they were forced to move their capital to Belfast on the island of Ireland to survive. Although the ashes of the mustache and the invasion of Red Russia have frustrated Germany's momentum, no one is optimistic about the fierce Red Russia, after all, Germany has withstood the first round of Red Russia's offensive, and a large number of elite troops who have experienced a hundred battles have been transferred eastward, and it is still uncertain whether Red Russia can launch a second wave of offensive.

Japan's old enemy, the Democratic Empire of China, took advantage of the Sino-British War to occupy part of India, and quickly swept the South Seas when Britain and the United States could not pull out, nominally liberating the colonial people, but these liberated people were probably just changing masters with the same skin color as themselves. Seeing the three countries of Central and South Africa, the Dutch East Indies, Singapore, and Thailand becoming members of the Greater China vassal states one after another, China in particular seems to be planning to swallow the Australian mainland. Japan can't sit still anymore, what else is there to do with the Japanese Empire if it goes on like this, is it possible that it can't beat China, and it still has to be a little brother behind a group of Nanyang monkeys?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fortunes of the empire rise and fall, and the well-being of the people depends on this war...... I also hope that all the Qings will cooperate sincerely, and I hope that the military luck will last for a long time. Although General Mu Mu is close to the age of the sixtieth year, he still sounds like a bell, although it is not a crane, but the Japanese army generals who are in the palace are all lying on the ground and listening. When the Emperor's decree was announced, Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi, head of the Navy's Military Command, Admiral Sakamoto Guizang, commander of the Royal Air Force (modeled after the system of the Royal Chinese Air Force), Admiral Toshiichi Terauchi, chief of staff of the army, and a number of generals and lieutenant generals looked at each other and smiled, their expressions of excitement indescribable. The last insurance to carry out Operation Z was opened by the emperor himself, and Japan gambled on its national fortunes again twenty years later.

In the southern part of the Pacific Ocean, the Southern Cluster of the National Defense Force launched an attack on the region at the very beginning of the war in order to cut off the sea lines of communication between the United States and Australia and dismantle the vast base of Australia, which could later become a springboard for the United States to carry out a counteroffensive. In January of the twentieth year of the Twentieth century, the Defence Force, which set out from West Borneo, occupied the islands of New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, and built airfields on the islands of Bougenville and Guadalcanal. This poses a huge threat to the sea lines of communication between the United States and Australia, and could push the war into the Australian continent. From the first day of the war, the Wehrmacht concentrated its forces to carry out surprise attacks in the main offensive direction, quickly grasped air and sea supremacy in the vast areas of the western Pacific, and then carried out coordinated operations between the army and navy, completed the predetermined battle plan, and gained temporary superiority in the early stage of the war. It controls more than 7 million square kilometers of land and up to 150 million people. On a front of more than 10,000 kilometers stretching from the Aleutian Islands in the north, to Australia in the south, from the Indian Ocean in the west, to the Ryukyu Islands in the east, a semi-encirclement of Japan and a deterrent to the US sphere of influence in the Pacific have already been constituted.

In mid-February, the Chinese National Defense Forces had already occupied the Australian territory of New Britain and also occupied the island of Bougainville in the Solomon Islands. At dawn on 7 March, the cities of Lae and Salamoa on the British island of New Guinea were captured. On 8 March, it occupied the Dutch dependency in the western part of the island of New Guinea. At this time, however, the regular army of the Chinese National Defense Forces in Nanyang had only one main force of the 15th Group Army, and of course the troops of the three Koreas, Vietnamese, Belarusians, and even the Gurkha mountain troops all participated in the battle, and the foreign aid of these subject countries or mercenaries had a total strength of more than 20 divisions and 1780,000 people, thus solving the dilemma of the Wehrmacht being stationed in various places.

Japan faced the triple sandwich of China, with the Chinese Far North Province and the White Russian Reservation in the north, the mainland of the Chinese Democratic Empire in the west, the Indochina Peninsula and the Dutch East Indies newly occupied by China in the south, and the resource-poor Philippines under the wing of the United States. Advancing eastward became the only option for Japan, and they could no longer afford the baptism of the "Goddess of Dawn". Except for a small amount of coal resources, Japan relies on imports for almost all its resources, and although China has not banned free trade, Japan does not have an advantage in all aspects, except for a few labor-intensive industries that almost rely on women's bellies for foreign exchange, and it is even more difficult for Japan to continue its militaristic nature.

After suffering a defeat in the continental policy, the dream of attacking China and occupying the East Asian continent came to naught, so they turned around and planned to "go south" to seize greater war resources (oil) and so on, so as to annex the world's reserve and successor resources in the future. The Nanyang region is already in China's pocket, and Japan has no plans to get involved. In this way, only Alaska and Canada on the other side of the ocean can satisfy Japan's thirst for land and resources, if it weren't for the fact that the mustache had landed in Britain and almost picked up soap for the British Empire, the little devil would not dare to fight Canada's idea, as for Alaska, it can't be bypassed anyway, and it is rich in resources, and the place that the Americans spent millions of dollars to buy it, it is a big deal that Japan bought it at a premium of three or five times. As a result, since Japan and the United States pursue a completely antagonistic Pacific policy, there will inevitably be a collision of interests between Japan and the United States, and the arrogant Americans still think that Japan is his domestic sheepdog, responsible for guarding the East Asian dragon.

In the spring and summer of the 19th year of the Taichu Dynasty, there were two surges in Japan. From the first upsurge of the theory of southward expansion in the spring and summer of the 19th year of the beginning of the 19th century to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor at the end of the 20th year of the first century, which led to the outbreak of the Pacific War, there was a year and a half. The main reason why Japan has been reluctant to start a war against the United States for a long time and has repeatedly canceled or postponed the scheduled time for its southward advance is that China's moves in the South Seas have bagged Japan's original goals one by one, forcing Japanese militarism to watch with a dry saliva on its face. Japan's oil reserves are less than 50 percent of the military's security reserves, and steel and coal have been repeatedly in a hurry, and Japan has been forced to a dead end at this time, and it does not hesitate to take risks and prepare to take out the US Pacific Fleet and open up a passage to the North American continent.

Pearl Harbor in the Pacific Ocean is the main hub of transportation, Hawaii is east of the United States West Coast, west of Japan, southwest to the islands, north to Alaska and the Bering Strait, all between 2,000 nautical miles and 3,000 nautical miles, across the Pacific Ocean from the south to the north of the plane, all with Hawaii as the stopover. Japan believed that seizing air and sea supremacy in the Pacific Ocean first meant that the road to the south was unimpeded, and Pearl Harbor must be destroyed first, so Japan planned the Pearl Harbor raid.

The Japanese government's decision to occupy Alaska's resources was an answer to the U.S. further increase in taxes on resource goods. They can't assume that if they start to act, the United States will stand by and watch? This is the reason why Nagumo Tadaichi considered destroying the power of the United States in the Pacific in advance. The plan of the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Tadaichi Nagumo, to attack the naval base at Pearl Harbor was a tactical step in achieving this strategic objective. Japanese information shows that the Japanese Naval Command Department began to consider attacking Pearl Harbor in the early 19th century. A few months later, after some preliminary investigations, he was given the go-ahead to begin preparations for the operation. There was a strong opposition to such an action within the Japanese Navy. Nagumo tactfully said that if the operation was aborted, he would retire. In the summer of the twentieth year of the First Dynasty, this action was officially approved at a meeting of the Imperial Council attended by the Emperor of Japan himself. In November, at another imperial council attended by the emperor himself, the decision to send troops to the Pacific was approved. At the November meeting, it was also decided to abandon the operation only if the United States fully agreed to Japan's main demands.

At this time, the Wehrmacht was not carried away by the easy victory, and in the early days of the war, in less than six months, the Wehrmacht continued to fan in a southeasterly direction, and it was indeed invincible. All the plans before the outbreak of the war have been fully realized. A total of 3.8 million square kilometers of land were liberated and 150 million people were controlled.

At this time, the Wehrmacht Navy proposed to attack Australia first and asked the Army to send an additional army group, but after the deduction of the General Staff Headquarters, it still did not approve the strategy of further southward attack to Australia. Although the army did not increase reinforcements, four motorized divisions were transferred to the Indochina Peninsula and Java Island from the independent reserve units formed, and the 15th Army was completely liberated from the task of local garrisons.

Although Japan's national policy of expanding eastward has been decided, the strategic thinking of the Japanese army and navy is different, and it is difficult to coordinate with each other in the overall war situation and local battlefields. After a fierce debate, in the end, the army and navy decided on the next offensive plan in the form of a compromise. The specific sequence is: the first step is to fight MO, blitzkrieg the US Pacific Fleet, inflicting heavy damage or annihilating its main forces; The second step was Operation ML, attacking Midway and the Aleutian Islands west of Alaska; The third step is an FS operation, attacking Fiji and the Samoan islands.

The main purpose of this first step is to cut off the supply lines between the United States and Australia, so that the American army cannot threaten the flank of the Japanese army through the southern flank, and at the same time, it can also force the United States to temporarily withdraw from the ocean-going area in the eastern Pacific Ocean to provide a guarantee for the next Alaska offensive. Without naval support, Alaska would have had little resistance, and the western part of Canada was a wilderness, with no support for resistance except for a few towns. The Japanese army could have completed the occupation as soon as possible through a quick assault, and then made a posture of threatening the northwestern territory of the United States, striving to make peace with the United States under strong conditions. As for Britain, if it still exists, it will not be able to regain these occupied lands, and Japan will have a territory more than five times larger than that of the mainland and rich oil and gas mineral resources, although not as rich as the South Seas, but it will be enough to support the reproduction of the Yamato nation in the future.
