On August 17, Japan and Britain signed the Cairo Armistice Agreement, officially announcing the termination of geo-friendly relations between Japan and Great Britain (London). Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The first of the main articles included the recognition of the independence of British India and the establishment of a Dominion of Pakistan with Jinnah as Prime Minister, which had different characteristics compared with the historical partition of India and Pakistan: first, there was no East Pakistan - within the framework of Japanese India; The second is to get the Kashmir region, which is not as suspenseful as history, controlled by India and Pakistan each; Finally, the western boundary with Iran was adjusted in favor of Iran, and Pahlavido fished more than 40,000 square kilometers - although it was mountainous and barren land, it was also a frontier.

All of this was expected, but the only surprise was that Japan agreed to the independence of Gorkor (Nepal) and its inclusion in the British Dominion, for which the British made an additional offer.

Was it Japan that coveted British arms? Of course not. The size of the Gurgor is also a piece of meat, and it is stuck in the Tibet region of China, so the location is very important. However, the Gurkor people are different from the Indians, they are very untamed after the Japanese occupation, and they make trouble at both ends in three days, and the Gurkor men have a machete in their hands, which is very strong, and it is a vicious incident if it is not confiscated, and it is a mass incident if it is confiscated. Coupled with the special humanities and environment, it makes Yamashita Fengwen a headache.

But it is a strange thing that Gurgle has a good impression of the British. In the end, the Tokyo base camp simply waved a pen and let Gorkor become independent, and it could be regarded as the Dominion of Great Britain, provided that Britain was not allowed to garrison troops, and could only be notified by civilian officials. The London government was overjoyed and immediately paid for it.

As a result, the final British reparations to Japan and the purchase price of Pakistan and Gurkup were changed to:

1. 4 Giant-class aircraft carriers, 1.2 million tons of commercial ship tonnage;

2. 3,000 tanks (1,000 Cromwell, 1,000 Crusaders, 1,000 Churchills), 6,000 aircraft (2,000 Hurricanes, 1,000 Spitfires, 1,000 Mosquitoes, 1,000 Wellington or Handsome Warriors, 1,000 Halifax or Lancasters), 500 guns of 100mm caliber or more;

3. 3 million tons of oil (Iranian compensation);

4. 4 million tons of steel, of which special steel accounts for half;

5. Transfer the three technologies of radar, Merlin engine, and 17-pounder gun.

6. The delivery time of all equipment, warships and materials shall be counted as 2 years from September 1, 1944, and shall be delivered according to the schedule and guaranteed by Germany and other EU countries.

The last three technologies were specially selected by Japan, and the British side was quite reluctant, but in the end they handed it over, because they had all shown their faces on the battlefield in India, and they could not keep it secret if they wanted to. Hoffman believed that Japan really had to understand it thoroughly, and it was impossible to build it without 5-8 years of accumulation, and he instructed Britain not to hand over other technologies that Japan did not know, such as jet engines, Griffin engines, superalloy formulas, etc., and of course could not hide it from Germany.

Looking at the signing of King Minoru Higashikunomiya and Masayuki Tani, Tada Jun was very satisfied: When this batch of munitions arrives, plus the number of Germany here, Japan is also a large army country with more than 10,000 mechas, and in this world, except for Germany and the United States, there are more than 10,000 tanks in other countries. As soon as the wolf-bellied infantry fighting vehicle supervised by Germany is equipped, the mecha power will be perfect!

Japan and France also discussed the idea of exchanging weapons, materials and equipment for southern Indochina, but French weapons in addition to artillery do not have much that Japan can see, and France can't pay the money, oil and steel France is not a strong point, and in the end it has been stuck here without an inch, but France has now obtained and laughed at the full set of technology of No. 3 and No. 4 from Germany, obtained the production authorization of DB601\605 and BWM801 engines, and also got a full set of technology for the will wheel and axis stage. The technical equipment is rapidly approaching and unifying with Germany.

Therefore, Japan has left a living mouth, if the quality of the German tanks and engines and Axis aircraft carriers built by France is passed, this part can be considered to offset the purchase cost of Indochina, provided that there must be a large number of products first, and the two sides agreed to talk in detail after a few months, which France also accepted, and now the French military industry is still recovering, and the overall output is not high, even if the number is discounted according to the British side, France will not be able to take it out at once, and the French Wehrmacht's own armament is not fully equipped - after France officially declared war on Britain, Hoffmann agreed to expand the French army to 1.2 million, including no more than 800,000 in the army and 400,000 in the navy and air force, and then agreed to expand the army to 1.5 million by the end of 1945.

Germany and Japan signed a memorandum of understanding to formally implement the German New Guinea Settlement Treaty after the end of the South African War, which was just as it was possible to carry troops and weapons on ships, and Japan was satisfied with this, and of course had to go through the procedures in Japan.

During the meeting, all countries discussed with each other about future bilateral cooperation, Vlasov personally went into battle to show goodwill to the developed countries in Europe, and was ready to engage in "attracting investment" and developing "three to one supplement" trade, and West Russia would give preferential conditions, and even agriculture hoped that all countries could invest, and the largest and best land and industries would certainly be booked by Germany, but Germany could not take care of everything, and there were still many opportunities for cooperation waiting for various countries.

The Japanese delegation was also quite moved after reading it, and expressed the hope that European countries would invest and set up factories in India in the future, and at the same time, they were willing to provide rubber and other tropical specialties to other countries openly. Now that Brazil is in the midst of war and rubber plantations are stagnant, rubber from Southeast Asia has become Japan's largest export product, and it is widely needed by all countries.

As for the actual text of the "Cairo Declaration," it was sent to various countries for examination and approval long before the conference began, and they generally agreed with it, and even the second and third leaders of the axis such as Italy and Japan rushed to express their approval and echo at the meeting.

On 20 August, the Cairo Declaration was officially promulgated.

Head of the Great German Empire, Prime Minister of the Empire of Japan, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, Head of the French Republic, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Newfoundland, Head of State of the Russian National Socialist Republic...... The political leaders, diplomatic representatives, and military advisers of the 47 Axis Allies have recently met in North Africa, and now that they have concluded, they hereby issue the following summary statement:

The nations of our Axis have agreed on their plans for future operations against the United States and its vassals: Our allies are determined to continue to inflict unwavering pressure on a brutal enemy by sea, land, and air, and this pressure is growing. On the occasion of the issuance of this declaration, the Combined European Fleet was heading to South America to engage in fierce battles with the United States, and the Combined Fleet of the Empire of Japan was heading to Midway to engage the enemy in fierce battles...... Our Axis allies are determined to advance east and west to destroy the enemy.

The purpose of the war waged by our Axis allies is to resist the oppression and aggression of American capital, and to relieve the toiling masses of all countries who are groaning and suffering under the oppression of American capitalists.

To this day, the Axis allies still call on the US government to renounce the war and conclude a fair contract with the Axis that will not pay reparations, cede land, and punish those responsible, but the brutal corporations and unscrupulous politicians who manipulate the US government turn a deaf ear, continue to squander the well-being of the American people, continue to deceive the people with lies, and continue to sacrifice the lives of the vast number of officers and soldiers to fight against the Axis camp, so our allies have no choice but to fight together.

The Axis's war objectives have long been articulated: to stop the ability of American capital to continue to export oppression and aggression to the outside world; It aims to promote the genuine establishment of a democratic and free political system in the United States; Aimed at depriving the United States of the overseas territories and territories occupied since the 1880s, and causing the United States to declare independence of the territories stolen by the United States, such as Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Samoa, the Philippines, Cuba, etc.; The aim is to enable South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Colombia and other countries under the control of the United States to truly gain independence and autonomy.

In accordance with the objectives set forth above, our allies will wage a major and protracted war of perseverance, depriving the United States of the ability to continue the war, and punishing the United States for starting the war.

The Axis countries once again told the American people that our allies had no intention of enslaving the American people; no attempt to claim the property and liberty of the people; There is no attempt to deprive the United States of its own territory; However, the war continues, and the entire territory of the United States is a battlefield, and the people of the United States are not spared.

After the official issuance of the "Declaration", the three main leaders of Hoffmann, Ziano, and Minoru Higashikuremiya were interviewed by reporters and made their statements clear:

“…… The speculation that Germany, Italy, or Japan would make peace with the United States alone, leaving aside the other allies and abandoning the Axis Covenant is pure nonsense. Since the establishment of the alliance, the founding countries of the three axes have always been of one heart and one mind, supported each other, fought together, and withstood the test of history; their iron will, common faith, and fighting friendship cemented by the blood of soldiers are unbreakable, their pursuit of establishing a new international order has never changed, and their determination to oppose the oppression of American capital has not wavered. In future operations, the three countries will further strengthen the coordination mechanism, support and cooperate with each other with equipment, materials, personnel, and other elements, realize the global strategy, and jointly fight against the United States and persist to the end.

The three countries agreed to set up a Global Operations Command in North Africa, with the German Führer as the supreme presidential commander and the Italian prime minister and the Japanese prime minister as the supreme deputy commander-in-chief, and to establish a joint chiefs of staff mechanism of the Axis Alliance, so as to fully deploy the armed forces of the Axis and realize the ...... of joint operations."

In the end, the three of them joined hands in the newspaper, chanting "Long live Axis!" ......
