For some time, Ciric had been directing the war on the Eastern Front, and had not paid much attention to the Far East.

Recently, in the Far East, the progress of the island countries is also superficially good.

In the Battle of the Coral Sea, they defeated their opponents, although they themselves had losses, but they took out two aircraft carriers of the Americans.

But after that, they didn't have any decent records, and their planned sneak attack on Midway never carried out.

The reason is unspeakable, the contradiction between the Navy and the Army.

The Navy wanted to continue the attack on Midway and completely destroy the American Pacific Fleet, once the American war machine was in motion, it was really terrible, the American Navy suffered huge losses at Pearl Harbor, but the American shipyards continued to build warships quickly, and soon rearmed the Pacific Fleet.

They want to continue bombing, and Midway is their inevitable target.

However, the Army did not agree, and the Army wanted to continue its advance to the south, Southeast Asia, Australia, were all targets that the Army could not wait to occupy quickly.

The two sides were arguing, and in this case, a compromise plan emerged, and the navy divided part of its forces to carry out a strategy of southward expansion, conquering Southeast Asia and Australia.

In this way, the remaining ships of the Navy will not be enough.

(Historically, the failure of the Battle of Midway also had this reason, and it was unable to do its best, and it was divided by the southward expansion plan.) ）

And now, the people from the island country are obviously related to this aspect.

"Honey, you can continue to bask in the sun here." Ciri took his wife's hand and said, kissing her lightly on the cheek.

Hannah showed a knowing smile, her eyes were full of happiness, although she was already an old husband and wife, she was still like her first love, this feeling was really beautiful.

Ciric left the terrace and made his way to the conference room, where several islanders stood up to greet him as soon as he entered.

"Führer Ciric, it's a pleasure to see you, please take care of me." It was the man who had met Shirek a few times before, Pheasant Fifty-Six.

(Let's keep it consistent, it's still that reason, for the sake of avoidance.) ）

As the head of the island country's navy, Pheasant 56 was very beautiful during this time, when he won the Battle of Pearl Harbor, he was already the most famous general in the island country, and now, his face is full of strange looks, excitement, expectation, uneasiness, at this time his mood is written on his face.

"Sit down, what do you need our help with?" Ciric said.

Now, Germany has occupied the whole of Europe, and is also engaged in the process of European integration, and the Axis powers have been greatly expanded to become the European Union, and in doing all this, Ciric is secretly rejecting the island countries.

It can be said that the island nation can get some benefits from Germany, but the relationship between the two sides has never been an ally, which seems to imply something. Of course, the current islanders will not consider that.

There are only tacticians in the island countries, and there are no strategists at all.

A few people sat down, Pheasant Fifty-Six knew Shirek's character, so he didn't have too many pleasantries, and after thanking Germany for its help to the island country and allowing the island country to win the naval battle, he immediately cut to the chase.

"Just a few months ago, after we bombed Pearl Harbor, the Americans actually used aircraft carriers to carry bombers and bombed our Tokyo, although it didn't cause much damage, but for us, the shock was very huge." Pheasant Fifty-Six said.

"So, if we want to avoid this situation, we need to have a suitable foothold in the Pacific Ocean, and this time, we will not only meet the mission goal of bombing the American fleet, but we will also have a landing operation, and we will step on Midway Island and make it our sea base, from there, we can radiate to the entire Pacific Ocean."

Compared to history, the goal of the island nation's navy is more aggressive, they want to get a naval base at Midway!

In this way, the navies of the island countries can cruise in the Pacific Ocean, can block any US warship that vainly tries to sail in the Pacific Ocean, and can even take off bombers from Midway Island to easily bomb the west coast of the United States, blowing those shipyards to shreds.

The island's navy can't wait.

Midway Island is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 2,100 kilometers northwest of Honolulu, belonging to the Polynesian Islands, is an unorganized territory of the United States, occupy here, radiate to the entire Pacific Ocean, this is the lofty ideal of the island nation's navy.

If the navy of the island nation can occupy this place, then it will no longer have to fear the threat of the American fleet, and it will be safe and bold to conquer Southeast Asia.

"So, we want to lease your landing ship." Pheasant 56 stated his goal this time: "We lack large ocean-going landing ships, and you now have a large number of landing ships, can you lease the landing ships to us before you land in the United States?" ”

A few years ago, in order to achieve the purpose of landing in Britain across the sea, Germany built a number of 4,000-ton tank landing ships, some of which were built in Spain, and these tank landing ships did play a certain role in the battle that year.

After that, Germany did not need these landing ships to fight for the time being, and Germany flicked a shot, and when everyone thought that Germany was going to attack the United States, it suddenly ran to fight the Soviet Union.

Before the defeat of the USSR, Germany did not need landing ships, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to simply lease the landing ships of the Germans?

Indeed, for the island nation, it is the best of both worlds, but what good is it for Germany? Self-sacrifice is not the mindset of a leader.

Hearing Pheasant Fifty-Six say this, Ciric immediately frowned, of course not! What if these landing ships suffered losses in the course of the operation?

Empty gloves white wolf, what if they borrow equipment and don't return it?

In the past, to help them fight Pearl Harbor, Germany only sent a commander to assist in command, and now, the islanders actually want to borrow equipment?

Seeing Ciric's expression, the few islanders present knew that it was not good, and if they could not exchange enough benefits, the Germans would not agree.

The good thing is that they have hole cards.

In order for Germany to help, of course, they must be sincere enough, and Pheasant Fifty-Six continued: "We are willing to find a suitable port on the four northern islands in northern Hokkaido and lease it to you as your submarine base. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, in an instant, everyone present was stunned, even Ciric felt a churning in his mind, a dime a hair, the islanders who had always hoped to expand their territory could actually give up their sovereignty and lease a port to themselves?

Moreover, it is exactly what you like.
