Chapter 64: Return to the Wolfenstein (Part II)
Nazi Germany's Führer Hitler himself loved China and preferred to form an alliance with China, but unfortunately, the reality of China's warlordism and the weakness of the industrial system completely made him lose his mind and turned his attention to Japan, which was a powerful country. THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS, AT THAT TIME, THE HITLER GOVERNMENT SENT OFFICERS TO HELP THE THEN NATIONALIST GOVERNMENT, TRAIN THE ARMY AND PROVIDE MILITARY ASSISTANCE, AND ALSO PROVIDED ASSISTANCE FOR ITS ENCIRCLEMENT AND SUPPRESSION OF THE HONG% ARMY, AIMING TO STABILIZE THE RULE OF THE KUOMINTANG, THE WISH IS GOOD, THE FACT IS THAT THE VICTORY OF THE HONGCHENG ARMY IN FIVE ANTI-ENCIRCLEMENT AND SUPPRESSION HAS PROVED THAT THE KUOMINTANG IS INDEED "MUD CANNOT SUPPORT THE WALL", THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT CAN NOT EVEN BEAT A "LOCAL WARLORD", WHAT ELSE CAN BE EXPECTED. In that era when the law of the jungle was the strongest, there were only eternal interests between countries, and it was indeed more in the national interest to choose Japan, which was beneficial to Germany.
In 1938, Hitler still had no intention of forming an alliance with Japan, only when Hitler launched the war, he felt the need to use Japan to drag the United States in Asia, and at the same time attack the Soviet Far East from the three northeastern provinces, the result! Little Japan did not succeed in a single thing, and dragged the United States into the war.
You must know that domestic isolationism was prevalent in the United States at that time, and the American people did not support the United States to enter the war. In order to break this deadlock, the US Government pretended not to know even though it knew that the Japanese Navy was going to attack Pearl Harbor by surprise, and only transferred its own aircraft carrier out of Pearl Harbor. British spy Dasco Popov reported to the US Intelligence Agency that Japan was about to attack Pearl Harbor, but the US government pretended that it was impossible. Therefore, the Pearl Harbor incident in the United States was deliberately allowed by the US Government to succeed in order to arouse the enthusiasm of the people at home to support and participate in the war. (If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself!) The Pearl Harbor attack was mostly a "bitter ploy" staged by the Americans themselves.
Hitler's strategic vision was not short-sighted, and even if he occupied the whole of Europe, he would always have to face the United States, which had a strong industrial capacity on the other side of the ocean, and Japan might be able to act as a constraint. Hitler was not unaware that Japan's goal of external expansion was nothing more than China and Southeast Asia, and the United States had a large number of interests in both regions, and in the face of Japan's invasion, the United States could not sit idly by, and it was only a matter of time before a conflict broke out between Japan and the United States. Germany hoped that the conflict between Japan and the United States would break out only after it occupied the whole of Europe, but unfortunately, Germany seriously underestimated Japan's fanatical ambitions, and actually dared to attack Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, so that the United States had an excuse to participate in the war in Europe, and underestimated the powerful industrial capacity of the United States.
It is said that after Hitler knew that the United States had declared war on Japan because of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, he scolded Japan and secretly thought: I am still careful in Europe to avoid a premature outbreak of conflict with the United States, and if you dare to declare war with the United States in a country the size of your nose, you must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. The lesson of blood proves that if you are not afraid of enemies like wolves, you are afraid of teammates like pigs.
It can be said that the German-Japanese alliance is a world joke, the two countries are fighting their own interests, there is no coordinated campaign organized at all, not a single one, the two countries have no common operational objectives, no common imaginary enemy, no agreed staff body, no common intelligence agency, is this the Central Powers??? Laugh off big teeth. Don't want a pig teammate like Little Japan!! It is purely a two-B pit cargo, and the identification has been completed.
Li Mo quickly read some diplomatic documents between Germany and Japan, this content is very little, the most is the information of Germany and the Republic of China, the Republic of China at this time is being invaded by Japan, seeing this Li Mo is full of righteous indignation, the Republic of China government is in urgent need of all kinds of arms, at this time Germany still has military instructors in Nanjing.
Nanjing, seeing this, Li Mo's heart chuckled, is there a deviation between the current war situation and history, at this time it was June 1938, and the "Nanjing Massacre" in history had happened for a few months, could it be that Japan had not occupied Nanjing yet.
"Ondete, I've already found the information you need, we don't have much contact with Germany and Japan, so that's all there is to it."
As soon as Li Mo thought of the Nanjing problem, Miss Anne returned to the office with a thin stack of documents, and as soon as Li Mo saw Miss Anne, he hurriedly asked:
"Miss Annie, our headquarters has information on the Sino-Japanese war, find it out and I'll take a look."
"Don't look for it, it's in the drawer of my office, it was transferred to me yesterday, I'll give it to you first,...... Oh! That's not right! Ondet, I feel like I'm about to become your personal secretary. ”
"Hehe, please have a Chinese dinner......"
"That's pretty much it."
Miss Anne took out a stack of documents in her drawer, and then handed it to Li Mo, who quickly took it and flipped through the latest report on the Sino-Japanese War:
“…… China and Japan have been fighting in the Songhu battlefield for more than half a year, the Chinese side has invested a total of more than one million troops, more than 300,000 killed, countless wounded, the Japanese army invested more than 300,000 troops in the Songhu battlefield, about 100,000 killed, the Japanese army has increased its troops several times, three changes of its commander, and finally took Shanghai on June 3, 1938, and the national army retreated to the national defense line to resist steadily, although the national army fought tenaciously, but the Japanese army occupied the air and naval superiority, the national army is really difficult to support for a long time, it is estimated that after one month, the Japanese army will come to the capital of the Republic of China - Nanjing, The German mechanics trained and armed by us also suffered heavy casualties...... Touch...... Good!!! He is worthy of being a good son of China. ”
Seeing this, Li Mo suddenly smashed his fist on his desk, and burst out a sentence in Chinese, of course, Miss Anne could not understand Chinese, but this loud noise still scared Anne, looking at Li Mo in a panic, Li Mo had to smile apologetically at Miss Anne:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a little out of control, you're busy."
Now that Little Japan has not yet hit Nanjing, it means that the "Nanjing Massacre" in this history has not yet happened, so Li Mo, as a traverser, must help his motherland no matter what, and at the same time, Li Mo also needs to go to China to provoke the conflict between Japan and Germany! This is an important part of my plan, so let's kill two birds with one stone now.
Li Mo stopped thinking nonsense, quickly found a blank paper, and began to write a report on the strategic relationship between Germany and Japan:
"The Great Führer:
I would like to analyze Japan in several ways;
First, the geography of Japan is generally mountainous, with few plains and scattered. It is not conducive to the large-scale cultivation of crops, so Japan's agriculture cannot go on the path of commercialization, and can only be self-sufficient. The island countries are relatively scarce in natural minerals, and heavy industrial raw materials such as coal and iron are heavily dependent on external imports, which affects Japan's economic security. In addition, Japan is located in the western Pacific Ocean, close to the Eurasian continent, and is located in an earthquake zone, so it is plagued by earthquakes and typhoons all year round.
