Hearing Yamamoto Isoroku propose to "open up the Caribbean theater", Hersman's brows furrowed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Opening up a battlefield is not the same thing as launching a diversionary feint. At present, although Germany has put its claws into the backyard of the United States by stationing in Guyana and is still considering the issue of invading Venezuela by land, it has no intention of spreading the flames of war to the Caribbean.

In fact, there was also disagreement within Germany about whether or not to have a big war with the United States in South America.

Hitler and the Nazi Party preferred to make a deal with the United States and simply encircle American influence in the New World.

Hersman, on the other hand, tended to reduce the sphere of influence of the United States in the Americas as much as possible in order to stifle the development potential of the United States.

The specific plan for Hersman was to march into Venezuela by land, engage in a decisive ground battle with the U.S. military, and then march into Colombia and Ecuador after victory. Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Guyana were then united to form the Republic of Gran Colombia, which was used to block U.S. access to South America.

Another option is to pull Brazil into the water, using oil-rich Venezuela to lure Brazil, the largest country in South America, while the European Community retains control of Guyana.

As long as Brazil is willing to join the Axis powers in fighting Germany against the United States, then Germany will facilitate the annexation of the "oil-poor country" Venezuela to the Brazilian Federation after the capture of Venezuela.

Of course, Venezuela cannot give such a fertile territory to Brazil, which is now the world's second largest oil producer after the United States, and there are relatively scarce coal resources in South America, of course, there are rich iron ore (this Brazil is not lacking), and the territory covers an area of 916,000 square kilometers. Brazil also has to pay a certain benefit - agreeing to the secession of the southern states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Carina and Paraná. These three states are home to a high concentration of immigrants of German and Italian origin, and have not been at odds with the Brazilian government in Rio de Janeiro. And after Vargas came to power, the Brazilian Nazi Party in that area was suppressed again.

So Hersmann wanted to separate these three states from Brazil, and then to bring about the merger of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Carina, Paraná, and Argentina, which is now very pro-German, and, if possible, to integrate Uruguay and Paraguay into Argentina, and to turn this Greater Argentine federation into the future export of Europe's surplus population - and eventually into a small South American Germany! In this way, even if Brazil is unreliable in the end, Germany still has a German-speaking Argentina to rely on, which can be regarded as a double insurance.

With the Federation of Greater Brazil and the Federation of Greater Argentina, there are two relatively strong pro-German countries in South America, and as long as these two countries can unite with the support of the European Community, they should be able to block the future flexible expansion of the United States into South America.

Of the two options for the promotion of Gran Colombia and the support of Greater Brazil (Greater Argentina), Hersman tended to realize the second option, that is, to use Greater Brazil against US imperialism. Brazil, the "BRICS", is certainly not as strong and potential as the United States, but it is still stronger than Gran Colombia.

Moreover, Vargas, the dictator of Brazil, now has a good relationship with Schleicher and Hitler, and has the idea of strengthening Brazil to dominate South America.

Historically, during World War II, Vargas was first pro-Germany and then defected to the United States, which was due to the unfavorable situation of the world war, but his vision was still very accurate. However, in this time and space, the situation of the world war is clearly in Germany's favor, and Vargas naturally will not fall to the United States.

So it's still a good option to support Brazil right now. Hersmann's henchman, the head of the Imperial Security Bureau, Admiral Stockhausen, was in and out of Rio de Janeiro frequently during this time. President Vargas secretly negotiated the terms of Brazil's accession to the axis.

As for the control of the Caribbean and the occupation of Panama, it was not in Hersman's plans. Relying on Brazil, it is one thing to go to war with the United States on the land of South America, and quite another to go to the Caribbean to fight a water war with the American tyrants.

Since the United States lost most of its control of the Atlantic, American tycoons have been strengthening the defense of the Caribbean. Nearly all of the important islands have large military aircraft stationed, and the United States has at least five fleet aircraft carriers (two of which are British) available in the Atlantic. Therefore, the risk of opening up the Caribbean theater is very great, and once the European Combined Fleet is defeated in the Caribbean, it is possible for the United States to regain control of the Atlantic.

In this way, the plan to foster the Federation of Greater Brazil or to establish Gran Colombia will be in vain!

"Admiral Yamamoto, ...... about the Caribbean theater" Hersman said slowly, already knowing that the hot-headed Mussolini had agreed to open up the Caribbean theater. And in order to maintain the unity of the Axis powers, he could not deny it entirely.

"We believe that the Caribbean theater does not exist in its own right, but is an integral part of the South American theater," he said. So the next step we need to open up is the South American theater, not the Caribbean theater. ”

"Opening up the South American battlefield?" Yamamoto Fifty-six seemed to hear something that excited him, and immediately asked, "Imperial Marshal, is your country ready to assert its power in South America?" ”

South America is certainly more important to the United States than Asia, and if the United States and Germany go to war in South America, the pressure on Japan will be greatly reduced. If the United States and Germany are inextricably linked in South America, Japan may be able to negotiate peace with the United States alone and then sit back and watch the tiger fight......

"Yes," Hirschman replied, "our goal is to confine the United States to the North American continent...... South America should have its own leader, not rely on the United States, the imperialist country of North America. ”

Is this going to fight the United States to the death? Tojo, Yamamoto and Masayuki Tani are all snickering in their hearts.

At this time, Hitler took over Hersmann's topic, and he said in a hurry and quickly: "This Cairo conference should come up with a plan for victory, and at the same time lay the foundation stone for the post-war world order." Considering that both the United States and the USSR were continental countries with vast territories and large populations, the possibility of complete extinction was none. Therefore...... The victory formula should be reserved for the United States and Russia. ”

Keeping the United States is a certainty, Hitler and Hersmann had never thought of destroying the United States at all, and they could not do it. The argument of retaining Russia is ambiguous, and it can be either Soviet Russia or Tsarist Russia -- although Hersmann did not want to restore Tsarist Russia, many big figures in Germany were very interested in it, so Hirschmann was ambiguous. In short, both Ukraine and Belarus will be stripped of their land from the USSR (Russia), and it will be enough to keep a castrated "Gazprom".

Hitler stood up, waved his arms a few times, and said in an accentuated tone, "Now is the time to issue a declaration of victory, and we must make known to everyone what our Axis powers think about victory and the post-war world." Let the people of the neutral countries and the countries that are fighting against us know what we want to do and what kind of new world order we want to build, and this will help us achieve victory at an early date. ”

"Victory Declaration?" Hideki Tojo asked, "What is the content of the manifesto?" ”

Hitler did not answer, but gave Foreign Minister Ribbentrop a look. The latter immediately handed Tojo a document drafted in both Japanese and German languages, saying: "Mr. Prime Minister, the main content of the declaration is to stipulate the status of the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain in the post-war period, and at the same time to strengthen the system of the League of Nations after the war. ”

Tojo took the draft of the manifesto and read it, which reads: "The meeting of Prime Minister Hitler, Prime Minister Mussolini, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Prime Minister Darrang, Prime Minister Horty, Prime Minister Antonescu, Regent Franco, King Boris III, Field Marshal Mannerheim, together with military and diplomatic advisers of various countries, has been held in Cairo, and the following summary statement is made:

The military personnel of the Axis countries have agreed on a plan for future war against Britain and the United States, and we are determined to inflict unrelenting pressure on a brutal enemy on all sides, land, and sea, and this pressure is growing.

The purpose of this war waged by the Axis powers is to relieve the oppression and exploitation of the whole world by the Anglo-American capital bloc, not to eliminate the Anglo-American and their allies themselves. The British Isles, the Dominions of Canada, and the Dominions of Australia will remain as they are, and the status quo of the Indian Empire will remain largely until a new consensus is reached between the British monarch and the indigenous political forces of India, and no outside forces are allowed to interfere.

Germany, France, Croatia-Hungary, Finland and other Axis powers participating in the war against the Soviet Union were fighting against the Soviet Union with the aim of stopping and punishing Soviet aggression and oppression. In view of the misfortunes suffered by the Ukrainian and Belarusian nationalities under the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union, the Axis powers that declared war on the Soviet Union unanimously decided to give the Ukrainian and Belarusian peoples the right to choose their future destiny. For the rest of the Soviet Union, the Axis powers agreed that unity should be maintained and that the government chosen by their people should be respected.

The Axis countries also believed that the intervention of the League of Nations in international affairs should be resumed and strengthened after the end of the war, with a view to maintaining peace and stopping the war.

In accordance with the objectives set forth above, the Axis powers will be stoic in their major and protracted wars in order to compel Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union to admit defeat and to observe the reasonable order of the world. ”

The draft of the declaration was written after testing the attitudes of Japan and Italy, so it only mentioned the intact United States homeland, which was not yet the mainland of Hawaii, and the removal of the New Zealand Dominion from the British name. It can be regarded as satisfying Japan's demands to the greatest extent, and as for whether they can hold the Hawaiian Islands and take New Zealand, it depends on their own skills.
