On 20 August, Germany openly announced that it would propose Japan to the Axis bloc and that the news of its declaration of war on Japan was instantly transmitted through radio waves to every corner of the earth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, without waiting for the people of the world who did not know the truth to regain their calm from the shock, another news that attracted worldwide attention spread throughout the world that afternoon.

Italy, another initiator of the Axis bloc and a pioneer of fascism, issued a statement in support of Germany's just actions and declared Italy and Japan in a state of war.

People around the world who don't know the truth have been asking one after another, what is the truth behind the incident? What heinous crimes did Japan commit?

As the event spread, several key words appeared in front of the eyes of the people of the world.

"Rabe's Diary, the Holocaust, ******・・・・・・"

Among the various keywords, the most eye-catching is naturally "Rabe's Diary".

In Germany, because of the rush of time, "Rabe's Diary" was promoted by a certain behind-the-scenes mastermind, and even though it spread rapidly in German military circles, it did not attract much attention among the people.

With the declaration of war by Germany and Italy on Japan, newspapers reprinted the restricted content of Rabe's Diary in large volumes, which succeeded in arousing the curiosity of the German people.

Driven by curiosity, Germans flocked to bookstores to buy books to see Rabe's Diary in its entirety.

The same thing happened in Italy, Norway, Spain and other Axis countries.

Driven by the huge force of the market, the copyright owner of "Rabe's Diary", Blizzard Publishing House, a subsidiary of the Sauron Group, in the printing workshop, the crazy printing press is rolling, and tens of thousands of "Rabe's Diary" are packaged and sent to all parts of Europe.

As the contents of "Rabe's Diary" became known to the public, "scum, scum, hang them, kill the Japanese・・・・・・"

and all kinds of vicious language have been blessed to the Japanese.

Under the guidance of the propaganda departments of Germany, Italy, and other countries, Japan has successfully enjoyed the super-standard treatment that everyone shouts at on the European continent.

On 21 August, Dr. Goebbels, head of the German Propaganda Department, personally took action and drafted an article entitled "Expelling Japan from Earth's Planetary Membership," which pushed the shouting and beating of Japan to a climax.

Italy, Rome, on Piazza Venezia, Mussolini's official residence Palazzo Venezia.

Mussolini, with his shiny bald head, scratched his head in front of a two-meter-high dressing mirror, and after confirming that he was wearing an impeccable military uniform and that his image was perfect, he picked up a bottle of perfume on the dresser next to him and sprayed it wildly.

With a pungent scent, Mussolini walked to the next office and circled the oversized world hanging on the wall.

"Where is the colony of the Kingdom of Italy in the Far East? Myanmar? Indochina? Thailand? Malaysia? An ally cannot be abandoned in vain, it is necessary to grab a piece of the most fertile land・・・・・・ well, before the Germans. But it is still necessary to stabilize it first, and wait for the Americans and the British to take the initiative to send it to the door. ”

・・・・・・

In a conference room at the White House in Washington, D.C., USA.

Roosevelt said to Secretary of State Hull and other attendees: "Gentlemen, we are not hallucinating, Germany and Italy have declared war on Japan, and this will be a turning point in the Pacific War. Although, the navies of Germany and Italy were not very strong and far from being comparable to the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, but they appeared when we needed them the most. We will instruct the Foreign Office to negotiate with Germany and Italy as soon as possible to organize a conference with the military leaders of the Allies and the Axis bloc, but before this meeting begins, I need you to come up with a plan for joint operations. ”

Admiral Ernest King, Chief of Naval Operations, said: "The requirements of the Navy are simple, Germany and Italy are in Europe, and Japan has no means to threaten Europe, so they only need to send as many navies as possible to the Pacific to fight." ”

Roosevelt nodded heavily and said, "I know that after the Battle of Midway, the Navy is under a lot of pressure, and I will consider it." What are the requirements on the part of the Army? ”

Army Chief of Staff Admiral Marshall shook his head and said: "The U.S. Army does not have any requirements for the German Army, we only ask the German Navy to be able to enter the Pacific Ocean to escort our troop carriers and supply ships to Australia." ”

Admiral Kim continued: "After the Battle of Midway, the main force of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet has not been dispatched, which is obviously not their style. According to the intelligence provided, it is likely that a major operation is brewing in the Japanese Navy. Now, the Axis bloc's declaration of war on Japan is likely to prompt them to accelerate the pace of their actions. ”

"What do you think the Japanese will do next?" Roosevelt asked.

"Most likely to capture Pearl Harbor." Admiral Kim said worriedly.

"If the Japanese really did that, how long would Pearl Harbor last?" Roosevelt asked.

Before Admiral King could reply, there was a knock on the door, and a secretary walked into the conference room and handed a blank piece of paper to Secretary of State Hull.

Hull read the contents and handed the blank paper to Roosevelt.

Mr. Wilson, the ambassador to Germany, replied that he had asked the German Foreign Office and received the reply that the main German forces were currently fighting in Russia, and that it would be two months later at the earliest, that they would be able to draw troops to participate in the war against Japan. The German Foreign Office also expressed the hope that a joint meeting could be held with the military of Japan and the United Kingdom to decide on the specific way in which the Axis bloc would fight against Japan. Hull told Marshall and Admiral King what was on the telegram.

"Two months is just too long for us to wait. The operation against Russia is mainly the German army and air force, and there is not much need for the navy, can you first suggest that the German navy form an aircraft carrier battle group to fight in the Pacific region? As far as I know, the German Navy has at least two aircraft carriers, which is a force that we desperately need. Admiral Kim said.

Roosevelt put the telegram on the table and said to Hull: "Let the Navy send someone to Europe to consult with the Germans with the personnel of the Foreign Office. ”

"By the time the new capital ship is commissioned, we will have to hold out for at least four months, and these four months will be the most difficult days of the Pacific War for the United States of America. With the addition of Axis military power, we have a little more certainty that we will get through this difficult time. God willing, "Rabe's Diary" appeared when we needed it most. Hull said.

"yes, by the end of the year, everything will be fine." Roosevelt said.

・・・・・・

Tokyo, Japan, in the conference room of the Imperial Palace.

Hideki Tojo knelt on the tatami mat, his head bowed, silently bearing the anger of a person like an angry bag.

Hirohito leaned forward, a distorted face almost pressed against Hideki Tojo's shiny bald head.

"Tojo-ki, you have betrayed my trust. I entrusted you with the affairs of the military state, but now, the Great Japanese Empire has been reduced to the point of being betrayed by its allies and spurned by the whole world, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, should you give me an explanation? Most importantly, should you tell me how you intend to deal with the current situation facing the Empire, and where will the Empire go next? Is it true that the Great Japanese Empire will be expelled from the Earth, as the Germans said on the radio. ”

After Hirohito finished speaking, he gasped and picked up the teacup on the table, moistening his dry throat with tea.

Hideki Tojo looked up when he noticed that the spittle had stopped falling on his bald head.

For Hirohito's anger, Hideki Tojo had been prepared, but he didn't panic, just because he still had a hole card in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the current situation facing the empire is very critical, but it has not yet reached the point of despair, and as for the expulsion from Japan mentioned by the Germans, it is just German propaganda language, and there is no need to take it seriously."

"Tojo-ki, I need a specific way to solve the problem, do you understand?" Hirohito said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I have already thought of a way to solve the current crisis."

"Say."

"The last telegram sent by the Imperial ambassador to Germany, Hiroshi Oshima, said that General Rosen, the German Polish governor-general, had personally promised him that he would find a way to delay the dispatch of German troops."

"How long can he delay for us?" Hirohito asked.

"He promised to delay for us for a maximum of six months, but he also said that even if he could not succeed in delaying time, he would try to personally lead troops to fight against our country."

"What does he mean by that?" Hirohito asked, confused.

"What he means is that if he leads the troops to fight against our country, the war between the German army and our country will remain a mere formality, and there will be no real large-scale fighting." Tojo said, secretly checking Hirohito's face.

Hirohito nodded slowly.

"Yo Xi, I can't imagine that this General Lawson is such a loving and righteous person, it is really a blessing for the Japanese Empire to have such a friend, if I have the opportunity to see him again in the future, I must thank him in person for his contribution to the Empire."

"Your Majesty's words are very true, but what General Rosen has done is only to stall for time, and if we want to win the war, we have to rely on ourselves. We must use the time that General Rosen has bought us to try to win as many major battles as possible, to weaken the Allies as much as possible, and we are running out of time. ”

"Oh? How? Hirohito asked.

"It's up to General Eternal Night to answer this." Hideki Tojo said.

Hirohito's gaze turned to Admiral Eternal Night, the head of the Naval Command.

"The plan of the Navy is to use the time that Admiral Rosen has delayed for us to launch a three-month Pacific sweeping war against the US Navy, in an effort to annihilate the remnants of the US Pacific Fleet and minimize the threat of the US Navy to the Japanese Empire.

A month and a half have passed since the Battle of Midway, and the Combined Fleet has been summing up the experience gained from the Battle of Midway, and has achieved gratifying results, with damaged warships and aircraft repaired and replenished. Now because of the declaration of war between Germany and Italy, the people must be in fear, and victory is urgently needed to cheer up. As long as the Combined Fleet is allowed to go on the expedition, I can assure you that in the next three months there will be frequent reports of good news before Your Majesty. ”

Hirohito looked at Nagano with relief.

"The Imperial Navy can have such confidence, and it really lives up to the Empire's expectations of the Navy. Since the navy has the confidence of victory, and the Eternal Night Qing is right, the empire needs victory at this time to cheer up. Tojo-ki, don't waste any more time, let the Combined Fleet attack, and bring me news of victory as soon as possible. ”

Hideki Tojo smiled and nodded to Hirohito, a sinister smile flashing in his eyes hidden behind his glasses.

The navy swears that it can win, but the battlefield information is ever-changing, and no general dares to say that he can always win undefeated, and if the navy can have an accident in the battle・・・・・・ well, it is most appropriate to be a scapegoat.

The dark thoughts in Hideki Tojo's mind flashed, and he suddenly reacted and asked Eternal Night Cultivation, "What did General Eternal Night say?" ”

Hirohito saw that Hideki Tojo was distracted, and said dissatisfiedly: "Eiyo Kai just said that when the navy was fighting for the empire, he also asked Tojo to urge the army to prepare for the Axis army. ”

Hideki Tojo raised his head and collided with the gaze of Nagano Xiu on the opposite side: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire are invincible." ”

Two hours later, Eternal Night Slim appeared at the Combined Fleet Command in the port of Yokosuka.

"Your Majesty has given us permission to carry out a Pacific sweep war, and you will soon be ordered to go to war. The empire is currently in a critical moment, and this battle can only be won and not lost. ”

Yamamoto fifty-six nodded repeatedly.

"General, you have seen the battle plan, this operation is not so much a battle as a sea target exercise, you just have to wait to report to Your Majesty."

・・・・・・

Berlin, Germany.

After Germany and Italy declared war on Japan, Marshal Goering's heart attack also inexplicably improved.

Chen Dao personally went out and completed the discharge procedures for Goering.

As soon as the car started, Goering couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any news from the Americans?" ”

"The situation is more optimistic, the US ambassador has already asked about the time of our troop dispatch once, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has perfunctory it. Now the Americans and the British have jointly proposed that a joint military conference be convened to discuss the war plan against Japan. But my feeling is that the Americans and the British are just a little bit of pressure right now, and the pressure is not so great that they lose their minds, and we have to find a way to put a little more pressure on them. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Since they are going to convene a joint military conference, then it will be convened, I will go there in person, see what they think, and then plan it, design a routine for them, and send more achievements to the Japanese."

"Well, the more pressure they have, the more we can gain in the future. It's just that the Russian side also has to make some adjustments. ”

"Of course, take Ukraine and Leningrad, and this year's task will be completed." (To be continued.) )
