Chapter 1884 Luàn Bureau Succession

In July, South Africa, located in the southern hemisphere, enters the coldest season of the year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Snow, ice, and fog often appeared in the plateau area, which greatly slowed the pace of the Allied advance, but on the whole, the Japanese army, which suffered a heavy loss of strength, was still losing ground on all fronts. Under such circumstances, the Japanese Navy, which had already recovered its combat strength, once again showed its grandeur.

On July 9, the port area in the south of Huoqu City, the capital of Liangzhou Province.

Now the Caspian Sea, is in the century of the rotation of precipitation period, the port area originally 16 wharves, but now only eight can be used, the berth water depth is eight meters, the sea ship can enter the port along the Ural River, the channel is 150 meters wide, industry and commerce are relatively developed, the Soviet Union has oil refineries, chemical plants, machine factories, shipyards, food processing plants and other factories.

After An Jiajun took over, it was transformed and expanded on this basis, forming a coastal industrial zone, which was more than ten times larger than the original.

In the conference room of the No. 1 Caspian Sea Naval Base, Colonel Chen Yi, commander of the base, gave An Yi a summary report on the work of the base:

"In the more than two years since the First Naval Base was ordered to be built, it has developed rapidly; first, it has used a part of the original port and a ship repair yard in Huoqu Sick Port to repair and renovate more than 40 large and small ships that we have captured on the way to the south in the past 38 years, and have formed a river defense and coastal defense team; Second, nearly 6,000 Russian employees and most of the equipment of the former Far East Vladivostok Shipyard have been relocated, and more than 4,000 shipbuilders have been relocated from China, forming a strong shipbuilding team. the third is the strong support of major domestic shipyards from technology to manpower and material resources; Fourth, it has received strong support from the military region, which has enabled the smooth development of our first naval base.

"Since the summer of last year, we have successively built three 4,000-ton cruisers, nine 1,000-ton destroyers, twelve 680-ton submarines, and 24 river gunboats of about 500 tons.

"At the same time, our base shipyard has also built four 1,500-ton passenger ships and ten 1,500-ton self-propelled cargo barges for inland waterway shipping, alleviating the situation of old, old, small and small number of inland waterway shipping ships and tight capacity, and promoting the development of river transportation.

"In addition, we have built a 3,000-ton and 1,500-ton winch dredger, the larger one for the dredging of the Ural River outlet channel and the coastal port channel, and the smaller one for the dredging of the inland waterway to widen and deepen the waterway.

"At present, 1,500-ton passenger and cargo ships can travel north from the mouth of the Caspian Sea to the Ural City, with a total of 580 kilometers of shipping trunk lines, and can also go directly south to communicate the cities along the Caspian Sea. Since the Soviet Red Navy had no intention of expanding in the Caspian Sea for the time being, the main strength of our shipyard was the construction of various new types of fishing boats, and thanks to the technical support of the major local shipyards, the comprehensive shipbuilding capacity of our shipyard was excellent, and so far 105 small-tonnage fishing boats have been built, and 22 fishing boats have been built for the Aral Sea Fishing Company, which are sent by rail to the port cities in the northern part of the Aral Sea. ”

An Yi was very satisfied after listening to the briefing, and the fact that the No. 1 Caspian Sea Naval Base has achieved both military and civilian purposes and has developed in a healthy and orderly manner shows that the leading bodies of the military region and the base are still effective.

Since the Soviet Red Army had almost lost the cities along the Caspian Sea at this time, its navy could not pose a threat to the security of South China's territorial waters, and it was no longer necessary to build more warships; when the missile destroyers were successfully developed in the future, it would not be too late to choose an opportunity to develop the navy depending on the growth of the opponent.

Just when An Yi was about to go to the slipway and comfort the shipyard workers, Shen Fengdao brought a jaw-dropping news: Five days ago, the Japanese army landed in the port of Buenaventura on the Pacific coast of Colombia, and then the first two divisions to land sneaked all the way to the Panama Canal, and at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, they officially captured Panama City and captured nine American warships sailing on the Panama Canal.

As soon as An Yi heard that his mind had changed greatly, he immediately hurried back to the front army headquarters in Huo Qu's sick city to learn more about it.

It turned out that a month ago, a military force opposed the current Colombian government entered the capital city of Santa Fe Bogo in a strange way, and immediately announced the formation of a new Colombian government, and the United States quickly made a tough response.

After the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident, especially the bombing and destruction of the Panama Canal by Japanese carrier-based aircraft, the US government immediately sent a note to the countries of the Americas, demanding the convening of a meeting of the foreign ministers of the Americas, and issuing a murderous warning that "either friend or foe" was issued.

Under these circumstances, nine Latin American countries, which are deeply dependent on the United States, including Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and El Salvoa, quickly declared war on Japan and its European allies, and Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela broke off with Japan, Germany, and Italy.

Among the countries in the Americas, only Argentina has explicitly opposed any strong anti-Axis action, while Chile has supported Argentina, Peru and Ecuador have been ambiguous, and Brazil has considered itself to be a strict defender.

After the issuance of the "Three Nations Charter" and the "Declaration of the United Nations," representatives of the American countries met in Washington, D.C., on the defense cooperation of the Western Hemisphere, the supply of supplies to the American countries, the unified management and protection of the security of shipping between the American countries, and the military cooperation between the United States and Latin American countries.

Subsequently, the United States signed joint defense treaties with Mexico, Ecuador, and Caribbean littoral countries, and stated that the concession bill would apply to all countries in South America.

In the past year, the United States has integrated the resources of the Americas, and all the rubber, cotton, grain, oil, minerals, grease, and materials from the Americas have flowed into the United States and turned into aircraft, tanks, artillery, guns, and ammunition to support the frontline fighting.

In order to maintain the stability of South American countries, and at the same time, Colombia still has oil resources urgently needed by the United States, for this reason, the US government immediately dispatched the 43rd Infantry Division, which was preparing to sail for the Pacific theater, to land in Santa Marta and Barranquilla Harbor to prepare for the use of force to quell the rebellion and restore the rule of Colombia's "legitimate government."

On the one hand, the rebels wantonly set fire to the Eldifisil and Tivu oil fields, and planted minefields of up to dozens of kilometers in the valley of the Magdalena River between the central and eastern Cordillera Mountains to prevent the US troops from moving south, and on the other hand, they quietly asked the Japanese government for help.

The Japanese government could not ask for it, and the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, which had already moved to the waters of Hawaii, quickly swooped down to the southeast.

In fact, the reason why the Colombian rebels sprung up and successfully defeated the Zhengfu army was because of the performance of the Japanese army's "Pig Turquoise Special Attack Division" and the "Sakura Huā Special Brigade".

As early as the beginning of the year, nearly 20,000 officers and men of the Japanese special forces went ashore in pro-Axis Argentina under various pretexts, and then used Argentina as a springboard to sneak into Brazil.

At the beginning of the forties, there were 500,000 people of Japanese descent in Brazil, the largest number in the Americas, and this unique phenomenon has special historical roots.

As a large country in South America, Brazil has a land area of millions of square kilometers, but the population has always been sparse. After the declaration of independence at the beginning of the nineteenth century, in addition to millions of indigenous people, Brazil also had five or six million other immigrants, and the labor force was obviously insufficient, which made many places undeveloped.

In this context, the Brazilian government began to search for labor around the world. In addition to the desire for European immigration, the Brazilian government set its sights on East Asia, especially the populous China, and for this reason, at the end of the 19th century, the Brazilian government sent people to China to negotiate with the Qing government, hoping that the populous Chinese would emigrate to Brazil.

At that time, the Brazilian government put forward three conditions: first, all Chinese who wish to move to Brazil must become Brazilian nationality; Second, Chinese who wish to move to Brazil must bring their families with them, and bachelors are not allowed to immigrate; Third, Chinese who wish to move to Brazil must be agricultural and industrial workers, and homeless people will not be accepted.

At that time, although the Qing court had opened up the country, it still had the mentality of the heavenly kingdom, and a distant Brazil, which did not know where the sacred, wanted to let China emigrate? And what are the three conditions? The Qing Dynasty government thought it was detrimental to his dignity, so he did not agree.

After being rejected by the Qing Dynasty, the Brazilian government had no choice but to go to Japan, another populous country. As a result, Japan was very happy to hear this, and strongly supported the immigration to Brazil. After the Meiji Restoration, a large number of peasants lost their land and became jobless vagrants. At that time, the Japanese government was struggling with this, and now the Brazilian government is proposing to immigrate, so it is natural to hit it off.

In order to immigrate, the Japanese special Mén established the Royal Immigration Company. At the beginning of this century, the Kasato Maru, a passenger ship carrying nearly 800 Japanese, departed from Kobe for the port of São Dos, São Paulo, Brazil, becoming the first Japanese immigrants to Brazil. In the six years that followed, 10 groups of about 150,000 Japanese immigrated to Brazil.

These immigrants generally have the development funds provided by the Japanese government, and at the same time, in order to attract immigrants, the Brazilian government has provided convenience in many aspects, so that these Japanese immigrants who have just arrived in Brazil have benefited a lot. After the news of the fortune of these Japanese immigrants reached Japan, it was not long before Japan really set off a craze for immigrants to Brazil. From the mid-twenties until the outbreak of the war, more than 300,000 Japanese emigrated to Brazil in more than a decade, and the total number of Japanese people who had multiplied over several generations had reached 500,000, which could effectively cover the military operations of the Japanese army.

Sure enough, a division and a brigade of Japanese special forces, in various capacities, arrived safely on the Colombian border, and then came into contact with the anti-political forces instigated by the Ministry of Intelligence.

Special warfare and conventional warfare are completely two concepts, and in a very short period of time, the generals and leaders of the political and military forces and leaders at all levels have died violently one after another, and then the political officials have also had problems one after another, and the troops on duty and patrol have always disappeared inexplicably, and the people are panicking.

It was not until the anti-political forces launched an attack on the capital Santa Fe Bocota that those political and military dignitaries woke up, but at this time, the "Pig Turquoise Special Attack Division" and the "Sakura Huā Special Brigade" had already controlled all strategic points in Colombia and had all control over the situation, and the political and military dignitaries of Colombia had actually become hostages in the hands of the Japanese army.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the United States, all the actions of the Japanese army were carried out under the banner of the rebels, and the rebels urgently needed to open up the situation and develop their own political influence, especially to draw the surrounding countries together to confront the United States, and they had to rely on the performance of the Japanese army. So the two sides worked closely together to try to mihuo and delay the advance of the American army.

After the U.S. military entered the territory of Colombia, it was not going well everywhere, and was often attacked by inexplicable armed forces and suffered heavy losses. In addition, in order to save the oil wells that were spewing fires, the American forces had to divide their forces, which led to slow progress, and even lingered in the mountain pass water network between the central and eastern Cordillera mountains for a month, which opened up the convenience of the Japanese army's movement.

Late on the night of July 3, American time, the Japanese aircraft carrier Tehun flotilla covered a large number of transport ships and loaded four divisions of the Japanese 19th Army to land in the port of Buenaventura.

The 19th Army was originally stationed on the island of New Guinea, but at the beginning of the year, it moved to the Hawaiian Islands with supply ships, and had four first-class divisions under its jurisdiction, including the 5th, 36th, 103rd, and 109th, and its combat effectiveness was extremely strong. The landing operation of the Japanese army this time is only one link in the huge battle plan of the Japanese army's base camp, and more tricks are in the pipeline.

The Fifth Division and the 109th Division, under the guidance of the Japanese army's "Pig Turf Special Attack Division" and the "Sakura Huā Special Brigade," crossed the Panamanian border without danger all the way, and launched an attack on Panama City, which was not at all guarded at 2 a.m. American time, and completely annihilated two regiments of the defenders, capturing 62 fighters that had not yet taken off, including 26 B-17 bombers and 18 P-38 fighters independently developed by the US military, in addition to reconnaissance planes and transport planes.
