For the first time in a meeting of the High Headquarters, the Führer put Japan in the position of the enemy, and everyone had already had a premonition, so no one present at the time was surprised by this.

Because Japan has long been a British lackey in history, few Germans have a favorable opinion of Japan. Under Japan's intervention, Sino-German military exchanges were forced to be suspended, which had already aroused the dissatisfaction of many high-ranking military officers at that time. In addition, some merchants and military officers who returned from China brought back the news of Japan's burning, killing, and looting on the battlefield in China, which made some German people with a sense of justice feel disgusted by this.

It was only Hitler's eagerness to find an international political ally that led to a fit with the island nation to the east, when Germany and Japan had no conflict of interests, and after the conclusion of an alliance treaty under the guise of an anti-communist pact, the two countries began a series of military and economic cooperation.

As a result, the Germans found themselves as if they had been trapped, and the Japanese only knew that they were desperately absorbing Germany's high-tech military technology, and they did not give Germany any help in the economic field at all.

At the political level, Japan is very hard to cheer for Germany, but let's not forget that Japan has long since withdrawn from the League of Nations, itself has been isolated by the Western world, and Germany has not only not been able to use Japan's influence, but on the contrary, it has been used by the other side, becoming a springboard and help for Japan to obtain European technology and capital.

Hitler liked to think geopolitically, and he needed Japan to contain the Soviet Union in Asia and the United States on the western side of the Pacific, so he showed an unusual tolerance for Japan's use of Germany.

However, now that Hitler had died on the French front, it was the new Führer Xu Jun who was in charge of the German Empire. Most of the people who worked around him knew that the new head of state had always had a bad opinion of Japan, but no one knew exactly why the apostle of God was so disgusted with the small island nation on the other side of the world.

Some people say that the Führer was bullied by the Japanese in Germany when he was a teenager, which is obviously an unreliable rumor, the Stadler family was a powerful place even during the Weimar Republic, and the young master of the Städel family was a top gentleman who could walk sideways in the city of Munich.

Ever since Germany began to intervene in Asian affairs, the elites of the High Command have smelled something strange, and most of the Führer's decisions are clearly targeted, and the target is Japan, Germany's former "close ally".

"There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests", Palmerston's sentence is also known to the Germans, although it has often been used to satirize the shamelessness of the British, but the Germans still agree with the connotation of this sentence in their hearts.

There are no permanent friends, not to mention that Germany and Japan are not really friends, but if they turn over old accounts, they will have a lot of money with Japan.

Since the victory of the Franco-Prussian War, the rising Second German Reich has replaced France and become a role model for Japanese army soldiers.

The Japanese government and the opposition also once blew a [German wind], and the fashionable Tokyoites even regarded drinking German dark beer as a fashion, but if you think that Japan is pro-German, it is deceived by this appearance, when the First World War broke out, Japan did not hesitate to declare war on the Allies and sided with the German enemy.

However, from the perspective of international politics at the time, it was understandable that Japan made such a choice, and who made His Majesty the Emperor of Germany at that time a brain-dead.

"I already have conclusive information that Japan's army and navy are working on a massive offensive plan. Just a week ago, at a special meeting at the Japanese base camp, there was a special discussion between the Japanese cabinet and the top military leadership, and as far as I know, the Japanese emperor had agreed to this strategy. Xu Jun stood up and walked to the blackboard placed on the wall, picked up chalk and wrote two Chinese characters on the blackboard.

These two characters are Chinese, and as a member of the Chinese civilization, the Japanese learned and used this square script invented by Chinese. These two words mean to march south, that is, to march south. So where is the southern part of Japan? Of course, this one, French Indochina, the Philippines, Siam, Malaya, the Dutch East Indies, and Burma. The Imperial Führer walked to the map and drew a circle along the first island chain in Southeast Asia with his whip in hand.

"Don't ask any questions until I'm done, Marshal Bock." Xu Jun raised his hand to Feng who wanted to ask a question. Marshal Bock shook his head.

"Our intelligence is accurate, I am convinced of that. The Japanese have long shown time and again great ambitions that are not in keeping with their national strength. They called the ultimate goal..."The Führer picked up chalk and wrote four more Chinese characters on the blackboard.

The word is pronounced "Hago Yijiyu" [八篮一宇], which means to conquer the land in all directions and put the world under one roof. I have to admit that this is a lofty goal, but for a country like Japan, such an idea seems arrogant. The Führer paced back and forth in front of the blackboard with a whip.

"It can now be seen that all their previous actions have been carried out to achieve this goal. Everything was premeditated, and they weren't the reckless fools that some people imagined. I've never believed in them, never! "The Führer held the whip in one hand and clenched his fist in the other hand on his chest, as if the former Führer had possessed him.

Brauchitsch and Keitel were clear about this, both of whom were involved in the development of the Asia strategy, and the yodel... Yes, you're part of the project, and you can put your hands down. The Führer walked back to his place, picked up a glass of water and moistened his throat.

"As I said before, the center of this plan is a trap, a trap tailored for the Japanese." Xu Jun put down the water glass, and Brauchitsch hurriedly poured him full of water.

"Thank you, Brauchitsch." The Führer smiled and thanked him, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Army nodded respectfully.

"We already know that Siam and Japan signed the Japan-Thailand Treaty of Good Neighborliness and Friendship in June this year, but what we didn't know was that they also signed a secret military cooperation agreement.

In this secret agreement, Japan pledged to help the Kingdom of Siam develop its army, navy, and air force, and that the Japanese government would provide Siam with the most advanced Japanese weaponry and equipment, as well as provide training for officers and soldiers. In exchange, the Siamese side agreed to gradually open their domestic markets to Japan and, if necessary, allow Japan to use their airports, barracks, and ports.

By "when necessary", we mean when Siam comes into conflict with other European countries. For example, as in the present situation, Japan could have sent troops into the country under the pretext of assisting in the defense of Siam's territory. Xu Jun walked back to the map, holding a whip and pointing at Siam.

"Of course, the Japanese will not let go of this opportunity, in fact they had prepared a naval fleet to intervene before the conflict broke out. So this conflict was premeditated, and the Japanese were the ones who were hiding behind the scenes.

And this is exactly what we want to see, as I said before, the high command has also confirmed that in order to complete this huge offensive strategy, they must deploy a large number of troops in Siam, and also hoard enough supplies to support a battle group army in the local area, which will be a huge burden for Japan today.

At the same time, their current strength is seriously insufficient, and in order to complete this plan, they can only draw troops from the Chinese battlefield, which will upset the balance of power in the Chinese battlefield. And we only need to monitor the situation in Siam, such as the movement of troops, the progress of preparations, to estimate the approximate location and time of the offensive. The Imperial Führer waved his whip triumphantly.

"We turned Siam into a decoy and drew all the attention of Japan here. We have calculated that it will take at least nine months to a year to complete operational readiness. In this way, we will have enough time to make targeted deployments, and I am ready to shrink the power of Indochina, strengthen the defenses of the Malay Peninsula and the Dutch East Indies, and I will turn this arc of island chains into our impregnable walls and lock Japan in the South China Sea. The Imperial Führer turned around violently, his cold eyes sweeping over everyone present. Now you can ask questions, gentlemen. ”
