Few people know that Reinhardt had made a commitment to Japan, and after a series of talks with the pro-German Japanese Foreign Minister Yoyo Matsuoka, he made a reassuring assurance.

It all stemmed from Reinhardt's policy toward the United States, but in the first years of the war, Reinhardt did his best to keep the United States from getting involved in the war.

Don't involve the United States in the war is also the top priority of the German embassy in Washington.

To this end, they used all means, including bribing members of Congress, trying to subsidize prominent pro-German American writers, and funding the "American First Committee" to support American isolationists and keep the United States out of the enemy side of Germany in the war.

Reinhardt was fully convinced that the ideal of world domination of the Third Reich would not be realized as long as the United States was led by President Roosevelt. He made this very clear in private conversations with his cronies.

Reinhardt frankly admitted to almost everyone around him that the Third Reich would have to deal with the United States sooner or later, and it would have to deal with the United States "fiercely."

However, Germany could only deal with one superpower at a time, and this is the secret of the success of his strategy so far.

The time will come when the United States will be dealt with, but only after the defeat of the USSR. At that time, he will assemble a powerful external force against the nouveau riche Americans, with the assistance of the entire Allied military bloc.

In that case, it will be nothing more than Europe, Asia and Africa confronting North and South America, and the Americans' advantage of the "chosen place" will eventually limit their hands and feet.

The isolated Americans will eventually be locked down in the Americas.

Therefore, Reinhardt has been trying to avoid provoking the United States and preventing the American military from entering the war until preparations for an attack on the United States are ready.

And to do that, Japan is the key!

Not only Reinhardt, but also Field Marshal Blachcich agreed that Japan had the power to contain the United States, and that it could prevent the United States from sending troops to Europe to fight against Germany, as it had done in World War I.

For this reason, after the beginning of the relationship with the British, the German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, in his dealings with the Japanese, initially repeatedly emphasized the importance of not provoking the United States to abandon its neutrality.

At the beginning of 1941, when the Soviets and Germany fought fiercely on all fronts and the British army was defeated on its own soil, Ribbentrop, in accordance with Reinhardt's requirements, was particularly eager to drag Japan into the war, not to fight the United States, let alone cooperate with the German army to attack the Soviet Union on two fronts, but to fight Britain, which had obviously failed but still had a large number of overseas colonies.

After the British government moved its capital to Northern Ireland, Germany put even more pressure on Japan.

At that time, Ribbentrop met with the Japanese ambassador, General Hiroshi Oshima, at his mansion near Salzburg, and instigated Hiroshi Oshima to preach that although the German Sea Lion Operation had been victorious, Japan should enter the war "as soon as possible" and occupy the British Empire's territory in Asia "for its own interests."

Ribbentrop also frankly said that Japan's sudden dispatch of troops would certainly prevent the United States from entering the war. According to Reinhardt's personal corroboration, the U.S. military is not yet fully armed, and it will not want its navy to be in danger west of Hawaii. In the case of Japanese troops, it is less likely that the United States will enter the war.

Ribbentrop also learned from Reinhardt's tone and fooled Japan: "As long as the Japanese government respects the interests of the United States in other respects, it will be impossible for Roosevelt to convince the Americans to fight the war even if he concocts any reliable arguments." If the United States had to stand idly by while Japan invaded the Philippines, it would have been very unlikely that it would have declared war.

Finally, Trove said that even if the United States did enter the war, the Japanese fleet would easily defeat the American fleet. If the Japanese Navy wanted to get the aircraft carrier technology that the German Navy would use to defeat the British Royal Navy, the Germans could even deliver it generously.

Under this rhetoric, Ribbentrop preached to Hiroshi Oshima that the war would end quickly with the collapse of the U.S. government. As a bridge between the governments of Japan and Germany, Hiroshi Oshima's legacy will remain indelible after the war.

Being fooled by Ribbentrop like this, Hiroshi Oshima is also ambitious. What's more, he also knew that at home, Yamamoto Isoroku's "first-mover strategy" had already won the consensus of a large part of the officers and men of the navy, which coincided with the suggestions of the Germans.

Therefore, Hiroshi Oshima, who had a hot head, advised Japan to be resolute in its attitude and speak simply in the negotiations being held in Washington, and not to be afraid of the power of the Americans.
