Chapter 1818 The change is undecided

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun was still hanging in the eastern sky, and the blazing light had already scorched the air into a heat wave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the road leading from the Dead Sea to the port of Aqaba in the south, the commander of the Western Route Army of the Japanese Indian Ocean Front and the commander of the Second Division, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, was soaked in sweat. At this moment, Yoshimoto sat upright, listening to the incessant roar of the airplane motor outside, and closed his eyes and was silent.

Major General Toyoji Nakano, chief of staff, who was also covered in sweat, cautiously poked his head out to check the South China fighters of about a squadron flying from east to west in the sky outside, and whispered:

"Commander, why did the Germans allow the South China Air Force to control the airspace over the Middle East and North Africa? I heard that Germany has more than 1,000 fighters in North Africa, the Middle East, and Turkey combined, and even we have more than 160 fighters. ”

Yoshimoto Sadaichi felt that the Anjia Army fighter plane in the sky was gradually moving away, and his heart was much more relaxed, so he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Major General Nakano Toyoji with an expectant face, and said calmly:

"The Germans were very cunning and did not want to use their air power in vain in a contest with the numerically superior South China Air Force, so they preferred to retreat rather than tear their faces with the enemy, thinking that it was just a transit, and that a day or two would be enough, and that they would not miss a major event. What is odious is that the enemy chieftain An Yi has been staying in the Azores for a long time, and his movements are still unknown, resulting in the fact that today is the seventh day of the no-fly, and the British army and its servant troops surrounded by us in the Sinai Peninsula have withdrawn!

"Now the situation is already obvious, the South China government has openly set up a no-fly zone in the name of the return of its head of state, which is simply a deception negotiated with the British, and the purpose is to get the British troops on the Sinai Peninsula out of trouble! It is estimated that the Germans have never suffered such a big loss, and this time they summoned all the ministers to Aqaba for a meeting to discuss the matter of counterattack. ”

Toyoji Nakano perked up: "Is Germany going to an all-out war with South China?" If that's the case, then for the big *** empire, it is tantamount to great news! ”

"Perhaps!"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi said with some uncertainty: "The German command has transferred the latest information on the operation between the Soviet Union and the Far Eastern Army, and the Far Eastern Army has actually carried out a counter-encirclement of the Soviet army, and the result of the Battle of Kazan may be the annihilation of the Soviet army that took the initiative to attack." Now that the pressure on the Eastern Front of the Germans is suddenly gone, they can completely draw troops and march into Asia! Of course, the purpose of the meeting will only be known when you arrive at your destination! ”

The car was too stuffy, and in order to divert attention, Toyoji Nakano said without words:

"Commander, I heard the news from Lu Da, a classmate who works in the Southern Army Command, that the progress of the Imperial Army in Australia is extremely difficult now! Australia is so big, the continent is bigger than Europe combined, and the population is extremely small. In response to our thunderous offensive, the U.S. and Australian coalition forces suddenly changed their tactics and took the initiative to shrink their defensive lines, resulting in an elongation of our battle line and an increasingly tight supply of ammunition and food.

"Fortunately, several large iron ore mines are within two to three hundred kilometers of coastal port cities such as Padu, Hedland and Dampier, and are connected by rail and port. It is said that the iron ore deposits there are thick, large-scale, good continuity, and stable ore grades, and the mining companies set up by the Americans have not had time to destroy the facilities and hurriedly evacuate, and now the mines have completely fallen into the hands of the emperor's team, so that the empire has obtained the much-needed iron ore resources! From this point of view, the empire is worth the trip! ”

"The information you got is undoubtedly correct!"

Yoshimoto Sadashi nodded, and when he saw Toyoji Nakano showing a smile, the words suddenly changed: "However, that is already outdated news." The empire is exporting its labor to Australia with all its might, and the Indians, Malayans, and Landins are all among them, some of them to develop mines, and the other part is learning from our old adversary, the Republic of South China, setting up group farms, asking for land in the desert and the Gobi, planting drought-tolerant crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, and gradually improving our situation through farming.

"In response to the change in the tactics of the U.S. and Australian coalition forces, Chief of Staff Ishihara quickly came up with countermeasures......"

Seeing the curiosity in Toyoji Nakano's originally somewhat embarrassed eyes, Yoshimoto Sadachi said smugly:

"Using the existing mine railway, our Australian Front has stabilized the defense line in the edge areas of several large deserts in the western highlands of Western Australia, and is not in a hurry to advance inland.

"Didn't the U.S. military want us to stretch our front? We were not deceived, so we took advantage of the superior navy, army, and air force to attack the hard. According to the battle report issued by the Southern Army Command, yesterday our forward troops had crossed Cape Slippe in Shak Bay and were forcibly crossing the Murchison River, and would soon occupy Northampton and Geraldton Harbor, threaten Perth, the capital of Western Australia, and force the US and Australian coalition forces to fight a decisive battle with us.

"If the enemy continues to choose to retreat, we will continue to use this tactic to squeeze his living space. Chief of Staff Ishihara said that as long as we occupy all of Australia's coastline, the US troops who have lost their supplies will become fish and meat on our board, and we can toss them as much as we want! ”

"It's worthy of the Ishihara military god!"

Toyoji Nakano looked adoring: "Sure enough, only a genius general like him can crack the seemingly foolproof tactics of the US military!" As long as there is the wise guidance of the Ishihara military god, the imperial army will occupy Australia in the near future. Once the continent is completely owned, the empire will be equivalent to gaining the heart and soul of the Pacific Ocean, a precious land that can be used for the Yamato nation to reproduce for thousands of years and ten thousand years, and the foundation for the empire to dominate the world! ”

Yoshimoto was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he graduated from the 20th Infantry Section of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and Ishihara graduated one year later than him. In terms of Lu University, Yoshimoto Sadachi graduated from the 28th class of the Army University, but Ishihara Waner graduated from the thirtieth class of Lu University, no matter from which point of view, Yoshimoto Sadachi should be a senior. However, now Ishihara Wan'er is already the military god praised by the whole country, but he is in the distant Middle East, serving as the commander of the two main divisions and the five Lanyin servant divisions, and the identity gap is not ordinarily large.

Yoshimoto Sada: "It's a pity, Nakano-kun, we are too far away from Australia, and now we can only fight to the end for the cause of the empire in the Middle East on the other side of the world!" As far as the overall situation is concerned, the current world pattern is extremely favorable to the Axis countries, and I hope that after this military conference, the current good situation can be continued, the British and American devilish defenses can be gradually dismantled, and finally the sun flag will be planted on the American continent! ”

Yoshimoto's words were similar to those of a summary that made Nakano Toyoji agitated, and just as he was about to express his inner feelings in an impassioned speech, the armored vehicle suddenly stopped.

The two glanced at each other, and just wanted to go to the window to see what was going on, the armored car door was opened from the outside, and it turned out that it had arrived at the destination - the coalition military camp in the port of Aqaba, and the former division and regimental combat staff officer Yasuda Noboru Osa, who was stationed at the headquarters of the coalition forces of the Middle East Axis Powers (referred to as the Middle East Army), opened the car door, and when he saw the two commanders, he "snapped", put his legs together and saluted, and then said respectfully:

"Commander, Chief of Staff, Werner. Feng. Field Marshal Bloomberg heard the sound of the engine of the armored car and knew that it was you who had arrived. He told me to come out to meet you on his behalf! At this moment, the marshal was in the war room, discussing the situation in the Middle East with the staff officers. The messenger from Berlin is already in the conference room, waiting for you to meet as soon as you arrive! ”

Yoshimoto Sadachi got out of the car, first sorted out the military appearance, and then turned his head and asked, "Yasuda-kun, do you know what the topic of this meeting is?" ”

Noboru Yasuda glanced left and right, leaned close to Sadachi Yoshimoto's ear, and whispered: "It may be related to the war against Nanhua!" Just now, the marshal was in the war room, conducting a battle situation, and the main direction of the attack was the border between Turkey and Persia. ”

Seeing the ecstasy on Yoshimoto's face, he continued to show off what he had seen: "I heard that this time the Middle East Axis coalition forces will send some troops north, join forces with the Wehrmacht from Germany and the SS troops composed of Nazi youth from Western European countries, and enter the borders of Turkey with Persia and Iraq.

"After taking control of northern Persia and then threatening the security of the Central Asian territories of South China and Afghanistan and India, we will move south with a thunderous momentum to cut off the retreat route of the troops stationed in Iraq and the coastal areas of the Persian Gulf, and completely annihilate this part of the army divided and surrounded by our coalition forces, and then continue to attack westward, occupy Afghanistan and India, and join forces with the imperial army in East India. Subsequently, whether it is attacking South China itself or attacking Central Asia to the north, the initiative is in the hands of our coalition forces, and the world pattern will be fundamentally reversed! ”

Major General Toyoji Nakano, who came over to listen attentively, was also full of joy:

"Wonderful! If we can eliminate South China in one fell swoop, then the East Indies of the empire and the territory of the Indian Peninsula will be connected, and we can use northern Myanmar and northern Vietnam as a springboard to attack the mainland. ”

The three Japanese generals came to the conference room excitedly, only to see that the spacious room was already full of people, and the generals of the German Wehrmacht, the SS, and the Turkish, Bulgarian, Hungarian, and Romanian teams were all together.

Werner standing on the podium. Feng. Field Marshal Bloomberg, who was Hitler's Minister of Defense, assisted Hitler in the expansion of his army. Bloomberg, who was also commander-in-chief of the armed forces of Nazi Germany in 1935 and was awarded the rank of field marshal in 1936, disagreed with Hitler's war plan at a meeting in November of that year. The following year, Bloomberg remarried, and the bride was his secretary in her twenties, and the Gestapo and Goering were told that the bride had worked as a prostitute before. Goering relayed the matter to Hitler, who demanded that Bloomberg annul the marriage, but the other party refused, and Bloomberg resigned from all his positions in the army in January 38.

With Germany's victories in Poland, France, and the Balkans, Field Marshal Bloomberg, who was at home, under the persuasion of Heydrich, the No. 3 person in the Nazi Party, understood that Hitler was not alienated from him because of his bride, but because of his attitude against the war, and finally mustered up the courage to apologize to Hitler, saying that he lacked sufficient strategic vision, and without Hitler, there would be nothing in Germany now.

Hitler was very happy to see that his old comrades-in-arms were relenting, but at present, the marshals and generals of the Eastern and Western Fronts were performing their duties and could not vacate the vacant seats for the time being, so he sent Werner . Feng. Field Marshal Bloomberg went to the Middle East to serve as commander of the newly formed Middle East Army, the Axis of Unified Jurisdiction over the region.

Werner. Feng. Field Marshal Bloomberg also lived up to Hitler's expectations, led his troops to victory after victory, and Rommel one west and one east, with tacit understanding, in a short period of time to achieve a decisive victory against the Allied team, not long ago was recalled to Berlin by Hitler and awarded an Iron Cross.

As Sadachi Yoshimoto and the three of them sat down in the three empty seats on the left side of the first row, Bloomberg began to speak: "Generals, the Führer orders me to salute you all on his behalf! It was with the sincere cooperation of the generals that we achieved a brilliant victory in the Middle East operation! ”

There was warm applause in the conference room, and when the applause stopped, Bloomberg continued: "The Führer's latest order has been issued, and I will leave for Ankara, the capital of Turkey, to formally form the Turkish Army Group. In the future, a new army group will be formed in North Africa and the Middle East, the Mediterranean Cluster, and some of you here will continue to follow me, while the rest will be under the unified command of Field Marshal Rommel.

"I would like to invite Reinhard, Governor of Imperial Poland, Commander of Naval Aviation, and Director of the German Intelligence and Security Service. General Heydrich presented the medal to everyone and read out the transfer order......"

At this time, most of the generals in the conference room knew that the messenger sent by Hitler was actually the third person in the Nazi Party. Thinking of the secret police organization created by Heydrich, everyone present tried to squeeze out a smile on their faces, pretended to be excited, and came to the stage to accept the award of the beautiful man with good manners and accept the new appointment.

Yoshimoto Sadaichi and Nakano Toyoji glanced at each other, secretly happy in their hearts. In their view, this newly established Turkish cluster was clearly aimed at the Republic of South China, and it was immediately decided that whether they were transferred to the Mediterranean cluster or the Turkish cluster, they would report the matter to the Southern Army Command and the Imperial Base Camp when they returned, so that the top brass would have time to formulate a plan to get a piece of the German military operation.
