1086 support Japan
"Japan has asked us to purchase 100 of the latest fighter jets and wants us to lease them more than 150 fighter pilots." Air Marshal Milch threw the papers in his hand on the table with a look of disdain.
In his opinion, in the Führer's pilot development plan, his own pilots are not enough, how can he lend them to Japan.
What's more, according to the analysis of the Führer's "intelligence department", Japan has lost about 600 elite pilots since the beginning of the war, and the proportion of casualties is too high.
Sending the pilots they have worked so hard to train to such a cruel battlefield is an unbearable problem for the German top brass.
"This is impossible, how can our fighter pilots be sent to the Pacific Ocean to die?" Sure enough, as soon as he heard this request from the Japanese, Goering on the side immediately exploded.
Every pilot is the hard work he has cultivated, and it hurts him to cede it to the navy, let alone send it to a foreign land to die.
He had also read the war report on the Japanese side, and although the report sent by the Japanese avoided the important and trivialized, the defeat in the Battle of Solomon was already known to everyone.
There is no need to deliberately go to Japan to look for clues in this regard, just go to New York and buy two newspapers, and you can see the grandeur of the Battle of Solomon, which has been exaggerated tenfold.
Although the German top brass did not believe the news that the United States had sunk a large number of Japanese warships, since the US newspapers were able to claim by name that they had sunk the two aircraft carriers, Akagi and Shozuru, they were almost "true" in this respect.
While the generals of the Air Force were dismissive of the Japanese pleas, the officials of finance and production had more ideas.
An official looked at the Fuhrer, who was silent, and suggested: "It is not impossible, the Japanese have made a very high price, and they are even willing to give up India and demarcate the border with us in Burma." ”
In fact, he still has a lot to say, including the large amount of gold and rare metals and a large amount of rubber promised by Japan.
However, there is an additional condition attached to these things, that Germany will declare war on the United States and launch an attack on the United States when Japan is in decline, so as to pin down the main forces of the American Navy back to the Atlantic.
This condition is not willing to be considered by the German top brass at all, they want to cooperate with a limited amount of money: for example, to lend some pilots and so on.
"Giving up India? Are they still in the mood to meddle with India's side of the business? Mind their own business! Field Marshal Keitel, Chief of Staff of the Supreme High Command, sneered and mocked.
He has a say in land matters, and he has studied them in India. Japan had basically given up its plan to attack India before, and now it seems that it is too cheap to use it as a favor.
"The Führer's opinion is our attitude, and what you say here is useless!" Another official retorted with annoyance.
"Yes! The Führer's opinion is the main thing! Everyone agrees on this, but the Führer's attitude on the Japanese issue is vacillating.
The Führer hoped that Japan would give up its interests in East Asia, but Japan's attitude was resolute. When it came to refusing Japan's entry into the Axis powers, the Führer was a staunch anti-Japanese faction.
However, the Führer's attitude was again positive on the issue of arms exports and support for Japan's attack on the United States.
The Fuhrer single-handedly brokered a large number of arms and technology deals between Germany and Japan. As long as it is not the most advanced weapons and equipment, the Führer seems willing to sell them to Japan in exchange for resources and gold.
But now, this potential "eastern ally" seems to have been defeated. Moreover, the defeat was miserable, and the help of Germany was urgently needed.
"We can't help Japan make up for the loss of the Battle of Solomon, and Japan's mistake in this matter is also doomed to its national fortune." The head of state, who had not spoken all this time, was like a bodhisattva, and finally spoke slowly at this time.
His sentences are slow and firm, and every word is bitten accurately, revealing an unmistakable flavor.
"If the Japanese want radar, they will sell them our previous generation radar technology!" Li Le said as he looked at the officer in charge of technology.
"The Japanese want warships, and we will sell them those tattered destroyers that the Americans pit the British!" Then, he looked at several admirals of the navy and continued.
"If the Japanese want fighters, I can sell ME109 fighters, but the engines must be exported as a whole, at least 1,000 units before the technology can be exported!"
"But the Japanese want technicians, they want pilots...... Not a single one! That's our bottom line! It's something we have to stick to! Führer Li Le, pressed his hand on the table and gave his bottom line.
"German warriors can fight for Germany, but they can't fight for the Japanese!" After Li Le finished speaking, he closed his mouth and looked at all the high-level leaders in the meeting.
"We are ashamed of your greatness!" Hearing what the Führer said, Goering smiled and agreed - he was against the Air Force going to support Japan, so the Führer was on his side, and he was very happy.
"The Führer is right, we don't have extra personnel to support Japan!" Marshal Milch also agreed.
"It's not just that there are no extra personnel, but I don't even want to waste extra resources on those idiots in Japan." Li Le said sarcastically in a depressed voice.
It is really unpleasant that the German army is playing a triumphant song on the front line, but Japan has lost a clear good situation in the Pacific.
It was also because of their distrust of the Japanese Navy's combat effectiveness that many people at the top of Germany were reluctant to devote too much energy to the Japanese Navy.
It is a pity that relying on Japan to drag the United States behind seems to be impossible to do.
