Tokyo, Imperial Palace of Japan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the Republic of China declared war on Japan, the people of the Republic of China cheered and millions of soldiers were excited.

Japan, which had been declared a warring country, was plunged into a cloud of gloom because the defeat in the Battle of the Tsushima Strait and the Battle of Kyushu Island had seriously wounded the arrogance and pride of the Japanese people.

They have questioned their blind trust in the invincibility of their own army.

Coupled with the deliberate propaganda of the Japanese authorities and the hatred of the Japanese people against China, they believe that Kyushu has become a purgatory on earth.

 &pig&pig&island&novel{}. {zhuzhu} {dao}. {}; I am afraid that after this declaration of war, the Chinese army will hit their Honshu Island.

This atmosphere of panic and gloom also enveloped Emperor Hirohito's palace.

"Aiqing Ishihara, did the Americans and the British really promise to give us assistance?" Emperor Hirohito asked uncertainly, and Ishihara Waner, who was standing in front of him very respectfully, lowered his head.

As the Imperial Envoy, he had successively sent missions to North America, Europe, and other countries, and won many valuable and urgently needed strategic resources for the Empire of Japan, and even emergency military loans.

Emperor Hirohito was very satisfied with this, and he already regarded the young Ishihara as a minister of the humerus and the best choice to resolve the crisis of the empire.

Ishihara said respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to the treaties signed by Wechen with the American Republic and the British Empire, once we are attacked, they are obliged to send troops to assist in the defense of our homeland. ”

Emperor Hirohito said with some trepidation: "However, Britain did not have a good relationship with us before. ”

Ishihara continued: "Your Majesty, at this time and then, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies between countries, there are only common interests, and in the face of interests, former enemies can also become close allies. It's the same vice versa. ”

Emperor Hirohito nodded appreciatively, "Yo Xi, this is reasonable.

Ishihara-kun, if the Shina people really launch an attack on our Honshu Island at this stage, what will be our defensive strength? Will it be able to hold out until Allied reinforcements arrive? ”

Ishihara said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, at present, the empire has assembled no less than twenty divisions on Honshu Island, in addition, there are a large number of reservists, and the arsenals in Kyoto and other places are with the help of the British and American allies. The production capacity has already been greatly increased, and we already have a large stock of weapons and ammunition.

We can open the munitions warehouses everywhere at any time, and expand the force to 50 to 60 divisions and regiments within a week, with an army of more than a million.

In addition to these millions of troops, we also have tens of millions of loyal citizens of the Japanese Empire, and in the event of an emergency, you can only give an order from Your Majesty the Emperor.

They're all going to fight back, and there's that. We will definitely be able to keep the people of China out of the Seto Strait. ”

After saying this, Ishihara Wan'er said: "Besides, according to the analysis of the ministers, I am afraid that the people of China will not be able to launch an attack on my Honshu Island and other mainland areas in a short period of time. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Hirohito said with some curiosity: "Why did Ishihara Aiqing say that?" ”

Ishihara said, "Your Majesty." This is the judgment of the humble post based on the current situation at home and abroad in China, first, the northern faction headed by Zhang Xinghan defeated the southern faction headed by Chiang.

He was able to successfully reorganize the Nationalist Government and take control of the current regime. But the strength and influence of the southern faction led by Chiang and others still existed.

The situation in the country is far from stable, and then there is the military and industrial aspects.

The people of China urgently need to rectify and develop, and these cannot be accomplished overnight. Therefore, the people of China do not have the strength to capture all of Japan in a short period of time. ”

Emperor Hirohito nodded and said, "If it makes sense, then I will be relieved." ”

Emperor Hirohito's heart had just landed on the big stone, but Ishihara Wan'er said: "However, Your Majesty, although the people of China are now unable to continue to conquer our homeland, I am afraid that it will be dangerous to be isolated outside the empire's homeland." ”

"Oh? Overseas territories? What does Aiqing Ishihara refer to? Emperor Hirohito asked.

"Taiwan as well as the Penghu Islands, and even the Ryukyu Islands." Ishihara said: "Due to the defeat of the Imperial Navy and the land and sea-based air forces, we have lost sea and air supremacy, so that these overseas territories that are isolated outside the mainland and the mainland can easily be cut off.

The garrisons of the Taiwan and Ryukyu islands are not sufficient, and once a state of war is fought, the mainland will not be able to provide them with any resources or military support.

In addition, none of these overseas territories were really native to the empire, but were taken from the Chinese people.

If the Chinese attacked these areas, Britain, the United States, France, and other allied friends would probably not be able to interfere, after all, these are the territories of the Chinese people.

Logically speaking, the Shina were recovering their lost territory.

This is the most worrying headache for the lowly position. ”

Ishihara's words made Emperor Hirohito, who had just quietly breathed a sigh of relief, feel heavy again, and his spirit tensed.

He said with a sad face: "Then according to what you say, aren't these precious territories of the empire that were hard-won and won by tens of thousands of loyal and brave soldiers fighting bravely to be lost?" ”

Ishihara Wan'er looked guilty, bowed his head and said: "The ministers are incompetent, they are worthy of the tens of millions of Yamato people, and they are worthy of the ancestors of my Yamato nation, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Hirohito sighed and said, "That's it, today's predicament is not the fault of Ishihara Aiqing alone. ”

Seeing that Emperor Hirohito was so sad, Ishihara felt even more guilty, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed and bled and said: "Your Majesty must not be sad, the minister will do everything possible to defend these hard-won overseas territories for the empire and the Yamato nation." ”

Washington, USA.

In the early thirties of the twentieth century, the United States fell into an unprecedented period of economic depression, and a large number of banks, factories and other enterprises collapsed.

The number of unemployed people has reached a high of more than 13 million.

However, since three years ago, one of the greatest presidents in American history, Franklin D. Roosevelt, took office.

In the past three years, stimulated by Roosevelt's New Deal, the US economy has recovered, the unemployment rate has dropped significantly, and industrial production has also increased at a higher level than three years ago.

Roosevelt, the awesome president who led Americans to win World War II, is now rising in the hearts of Americans.

In a secret conference room at the White House in Washington, Roosevelt was briefing his staff and intelligence officers on the situation in Asia.

Since the First World War, the British Empire, which has dominated the world for nearly two centuries, is now on the wane, and the European powers have lived up to their glory.

Across the globe, there is no country that can be compared to the United States geographically.

The Americans are blessed with a unique geographical condition and strategic location.

This gives the United States a chance to rise.

Today, the United States is ahead of its time, and the gap between it and other countries is widening.

However, this has not yet been noticed by other Western countries.

Otherwise, some old European powers and hegemons will find that what they really need to contain development is the United States, a new beast of low-key development.

And not in China in the Far East.

The continuous rise of military strength and strategic potential must be accompanied by the expansion of ambitions.

At this time, the Americans had already begun to set their sights on the whole world and prepare in advance for future hegemony.

So, when China is in turmoil, an alternative emerges, Zhang Xinghan, and under his integration, China's sleeping lion of the East is faintly showing signs of awakening.

Roosevelt and other U.S. leaders immediately decided to provide as much support as possible to Japan, China's hostile country, in order to contain China's development and rise.

"Mr. President, according to the latest intelligence from the Far East, the Chinese have officially declared war on the Japanese, and the domestic war machine has begun to operate.

However, after discussion, we analyzed that the Chinese should not be able to truly attack the Japanese mainland at this stage, and have achieved the strategic goal of capturing the whole of Japan and dominating Asia and the Pacific. An American with the rank of major general on his shoulder said.

"Tell me why you think so." Roosevelt said as he sat behind his desk.

Because Zhang Xinghan's new government has not yet been fully integrated, there are still many factions in the army and government, but Zhang Xinghan's personal prestige is too high, and his military strength is too strong, and other opposition, such as the southern faction led by Chiang, are powerless to resist.

China is a poor and backward country, since the Xinhai Revolution overthrew the Manchu Dynasty, it has fallen into many years of warlord warfare, and the level of industry and education is almost in a state of zero start.

Even if Zhang Xinghan makes great strides and leaps forward, he will not have the ability to launch an all-out war against the outside world in the short term.

Moreover, from the perspective of the Zhang government, it is impossible not to see that once they really start a full-scale war with Japan, we will intervene with the British Empire and France.

Therefore, before the national strength and military strength are really strong, they do not dare to start a war rashly. Yankees analyzed.

After listening to this, Roosevelt nodded with satisfaction and said: "What he said is very reasonable, but with what Zhang Xinghan did before, since his government has openly declared war on Japan, it should not just be a mouthful, otherwise, he should not be able to explain to his people." ”

"President, your analysis is very correct, we believe that Zhang Xinghan is likely to launch an attack on the Taiwan archipelago and other China's inherent territory under the banner of recovering lost territory.

After all, now the Japanese have lost air and sea supremacy in the Pacific Ocean. The American Major General said.

Roosevelt frowned when he heard this, and said: "If this is the case, the matter will still be a little troublesome, and the Taiwan archipelago is not the mainland of Japan and is not within our cooperative defense treaty." ”
