Chapter 211: Blockade of Japan

During the talks, Hitler directly told Chamberlain and Faraday what he wanted, that is, Czech territory. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sure enough, the heads of state of the two countries did not express much resistance, and directly agreed to the German demand, and then put pressure on the Czech Republic to surrender the Sudetenland.

Originally, the Czechs were ready to resist desperately under the pressure of Germany, but as a result, Britain and France came, not only did not help, but helped the Germans to put pressure on them. At this time, the Czech Republic was completely dead and was forced to surrender the Sudetenland.

Immediately after the Czech agreement was granted, the British Chamberlain went to Germany again to inform him of the fact that the Czech Republic had agreed. As a result, Hitler opened his mouth again and made more territorial claims.

Chamberlain did not insist on refusing, but made an appointment to bring in French Prime Minister Farah for the first time to negotiate with Hitler and Mussolini. In the end, Britain and France betrayed the Czech Republic again, and helped Germany to cut off the Czech Republic.

"Hahahaha......" After his request was easily satisfied, Hitler was very excited, the first thing he was excited about was that nature was the immediate benefit, and the other was to prove what Wei Qidong said, and after the facts proved that it was true, Wei Qidong's value was further reflected.

At this time, the war situation in China, the Chinese and Japanese armies formed a confrontation situation along the Shanxi and Hebei lines, due to the continuous strengthening of the Japanese army and the continuous reinforcement of fortifications, the Chinese army did not rush to attack, and also built a large number of fortifications. Of course, one of the most important reasons was that the Chinese army was waiting for all kinds of equipment to come from Germany.

After Wei Qidong helped the Chinese side to finalize cooperation with Germany, he and Tang Xinyi started to act again, and they also had a very important thing to do, that is, to completely block the waterway ports from Japan to China with mines.

During the war in Shanghai, Wei Qidong gained a lot, he purchased all kinds of mines in batches, and during his trip to Germany, Wei Qidong also deliberately asked Germany to produce and provide a batch of mines according to his requirements. Germany gave it, of course, it was free, and it also saved Wei Qi the eastward system to buy, and it could also save a lot of money.

Of course, the blockade from the source is the most direct, so the two of them drove mine-laying submarines around various ports in Central Japan, starting with ports close to North Korea and China.

Sasebo, Tsukishima, Kure Port, Nagasaki and other ports in southwestern Japan were blocked by Wei Qidong in the first step, and when the Japanese ships touched the first mine, they realized that Wei Qidong might have moved.

In fact, after knowing that Wei Qidong had mine-laying methods, the Japanese knew that one day, Wei Qidong would come to blockade their Japanese ports. Sure enough, after finishing the urgent matter at hand, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi lurked underwater to lay mines with peace of mind.

If it was to lay mines on the surface of the water, the Japanese Navy would have many means to send Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi to the bottom of the sea, but under the vast sea, the Japanese were a little helpless, because they could not find out where Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi were, and the submarines sent did not make any achievements.

Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi are like ghosts in the water, coming and going without a trace, it is difficult to be locked, the Japanese army always feels that there are always a pair of eyes staring at them under the water, and once they make a move, the owner of these eyes will quickly leave and move to other directions.

Such an underwater operation could be stopped unless a large number of submarines were sent to blockade the ports, but this showed that it would not work. Not to mention Japan, there is no country in the whole world right now that can do this.

At present, the only way the Japanese can do is to send surface ships and underwater submarines to patrol around, and at the same time send minesweepers to constantly think of various ways to clear mines, they no longer expect to be able to find out Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi directly, but rather expect the blind cat to run into a dead mouse, waiting for Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi to accidentally bump into their muzzles.

Obviously, this is very unlikely, but at least there is a thought.

Naturally, the speed of mine-laying is not comparable to the speed of mine-clearing, and at present, the Japanese army's demining technology is very backward, and the success rate is also very low.

Under the tireless deployment of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, in just a week or so, a few ports in the southwest of Japan alone have been blocked by more than 2,000 torpedoes.

Moreover, looking at this posture, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi had no intention of stopping at all, and the Chinese and Japanese armies faced off in the direction of North China, and the two of them often lurked underwater to lay mines.

As the port was slowly sealed, the Japanese were very sad, which greatly affected the connection between Japan and the outside world, you know, Japan is an island country, and the resources are very poor, so the degree of dependence on the outside world is very high.

It is conceivable that when all the ports of Japan were sealed on that day, even if they were not completely sealed, as long as they were sealed, the whole of Japan would be more difficult to deliver.

With more and more mines in the port, the Japanese base camp has turned the sky upside down.

"Baga, why do they have so many mines, they have used so many during the battle in Shanghai, how can there be so many ......"

"Moreover, there are so many types of mines, and there are even quite a few mines with very good performance, it is very difficult to eliminate ......"

"No, to find a way, the Japanese Empire can't sit still......"

It can be said that in the face of the two opponents Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, the Japanese felt the chill for the first time.

However, there was no way, the Japanese knew very well that unless they withdrew their troops from China, it would be impossible for Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi to stop their operations. The withdrawal of troops from China is also a very small loss for Japan, and it is not a death point, and this decision will definitely not be made lightly.

As a result, while intensifying research on the means of dealing with mines, Japan has also strengthened the production capacity of minesweepers, and in addition, Japan has also called on some people who voluntarily use human bombs to drain mines, and even criminals have used them.

The family of a condemned prisoner receives a pension for each mine cleared, and the condemned prisoner is certain to die until he dies during the demining process, but the amount of the pension is linked to the number of mines cleared and can be stacked.

For felons, one mine per row reduces the crime, and if he dies during the demining process, his family can also receive a pension.

At this time, Japan was a crazy nation, and many of these prisoners went to fight under the persecution or instigation of the Japanese military. Even some old people, fishermen, and so on, under the banner of saving the Japanese Empire, threw themselves into the vast sea to clear mines, and most of them never returned.

The madness of the Japanese also made their demining speed exceed the minelaying speed of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, after all, the Japanese have so many people in various means, and Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi only have two people and one submarine.

Wei Qidong didn't care that the Japanese were faster than him, but the consumption was too great, and he didn't expect that the little devil used so many civilians, criminals and the like who had no military positions, and the system stipulated that in addition to the soldiers, there would be no reward for killing other personnel.

In other words, many of Wei Qidong's mines were directly consumed without any return, and his and Tang Xinyi's combat operations were to nourish the war with war, and it would be difficult to sustain themselves if they could not make ends meet for a long time.

Fortunately, Wei Qidong took precautions and asked the Germans to provide some mines on a regular basis, this kind of low-cost weapon was a piece of cake for Germany, so there was no refusal at all, after all, they also got a lot of advanced mines from Wei Qidong, and they could also draw a lot of advanced technology from them, and they did not lose at all.

With a reserve of resources, Wei Qidong is not afraid of wasting it, anyway, these mines can only be used around the ports of Little Japan at the moment. No matter how effective it is, it is also very good to be able to delay the actions of the Japanese army and consume a lot of their resources.
