Section 479 Kick the Yankees out
Because of historical reasons, more than half of Hawaii's population is Japanese, and there are a large number of Chinese, and more than 70% of Chinese and Japanese immigrants are located in this tropical archipelago. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"I think the Japanese government should be able to instigate an uprising among the Hawaiian people. Well, I think it's in the common interest of our two countries to build a country where the people of Hawaii are in charge. β
Sure enough, it was Hawaii, Hirohito guessed correctly, but it was easy to instigate an uprising of Japanese expatriates, but how to end it, Hawaii had a military base in the United States, and the Americans could easily suppress the Hawaiian uprising, except for letting the Japanese expatriates die in vain, he really couldn't see any other ending.
"And if the Americans suppressed it militarily? I want to know your attitude. β
Hirohito needed clear assurances from Yang Chao.
Yang Chao smiled: "Wrong, it's not me who guarantees you." Once there is an uprising in Hawaii, I would like to see the Japanese government stand up for the Hawaiian people's choice as soon as possible. At the same time, I think the wisest choice for the Japanese government is to urgently meet with the Chinese government to jointly support the choice of the Hawaiian people, demand that the United States not use illegal military action to suppress the Hawaiian people, and demand that the US government respect the choice of the Hawaiian people. Didn't the Europeans advocate national self-determination after the war, and they used this to negotiate with Britain and France to gain their support as much as possible. β
Yang Chao still did not indicate his attitude.
Hirohito is still not at ease, this matter is too big, and once the Japanese government instigates the Japanese uprising in Hawaii and is then suppressed by the United States, the Japanese government does nothing, and the national sentiment it has aroused will not only fail to inspire the confidence of the Japanese nation again, but on the contrary, it can turn into a raging fire that will burn the Japanese regime to the ground.
National sentiment has always been a double-edged sword, and this is something that everyone knows about, so the Japanese government, which is on the cusp of the storm, must be cautious now.
So Hirohito continued to ask for assurances: "What if the Americans forcibly suppress the Hawaiian people's uprising despite the strong demands of China and Japan, I would like to know the attitude of the Chinese government." β
Yang Chao smiled: "Isn't this obvious enough? If President Pan Xun does not send warships to the waters of Hawaii, then he is not Pan Xun. As soon as our warships start, do you think the Americans will risk war and forcibly suppress them. Since you are so uneasy, then I will give you a guarantee: once the Americans dare to take action, I will vigorously urge the Chinese government to take military measures against the United States. β
"China does not hesitate to fight the United States?"
Hirohito asked cautiously again.
Yang Chao said: "That's right, because the Chinese government wants the United States to get out, their hand is too long, don't you think that the position of the Philippines makes the whole of East Asia very uncomfortable?" β
Hirohito understood that the original purpose of the Chinese was the Philippines, and the reaction of the Americans in the Philippines to the Chinese exclusion has always been strong, more than the Chinese exclusion in the United States, because the Chinese have lived in the Philippines for hundreds of years, longer than the history of the United States. The earliest records show that China visited the Philippines during the Three Kingdoms period, when the Philippines was still a tribal era.
"But can Americans accept the loss of the Philippines?"
Hirohito is completely salty and eats radishes and doesn't worry about it, can he take care of the Americans' affairs?
Yang Chao smiled: "Do you think Americans will care so much about the Philippines?" β
Of course, the United States cares, but it doesn't care either. There have always been idealists and realists in the United States who refuse to colonize other countries, idealists are really naΓ―ve, and realists believe that colonization is simply a unprofitable enterprise, and it is simply a thankless task to spend huge sums of money to maintain a large colonial territory like Britain.
Therefore, the United States has always sought a new path in the colonial cause of the Philippines, and in the name of letting the Filipinos govern the Philippines, they have implemented a civilian government in the Philippines, and successive US presidents have unashamedly declared that they are helping the Philippines to become independent, but the Filipino people are not yet capable of managing themselves, so they need the "help" of the United States, but when the Filipinos do not want the United States to "help", the American military will use guns to make them accept "help".
In fact, it is just that the United States wants to enjoy the benefits of the colonies, but does not want to pay the costs for the construction and operation of the colonies, this is the thinking of businessmen.
But this claim is so deceptive that even a century later, when the Philippines claims to have never been colonized by the United States, there is a group of Filipino elites who are as grateful to American Dad as Singapore's elites are to their British mothers.
If the Americans did not regard the Philippines as their colony, they would not have implemented the Chinese Exclusion Act in the Philippines, and the Americans believed that the Filipino Chinese were mainly engaged in commercial activities, which formed a competition with American businessmen, and as for the influence of the Chinese on the Filipinos, this was really not.
Therefore, the Americans attach great importance to the Philippines, but will they fight a war with the Chinese for the Philippines?
If the Americans really have this kind of courage, they will not have to wait until after World War II to sit in the position of world hegemon.
Hirohito is obviously very aware of the US operations in the Philippines, because when Japan was the hegemon in Asia, they also had a strong interest in the Philippines, and Japan's all-pervasive spy agency had already thoroughly studied the Philippines, but it was a pity that they did not have the confidence to fight the United States alone, so they did not take action against the Philippines.
But China is too confident, if China wants to make a move against the Philippines, the Americans will not be able to stop it, once the Chinese navy captures the Philippines, the Americans have only two paths, the first is to declare war, fight an undefeated war and then negotiate, the second is to directly negotiate to solve the problem, the final result will not have any impact on Japan, at least it will not endanger Japan's interests, for Hirohito, this is enough.
So as long as he is sure that China has ambitions for the Philippines, then this confrontation is between China and the United States, and the Japanese don't have to rush to the front line at all, and they don't have the ability to rush to the front line, so they can't let the Japanese swim to Hawaii.
"And what about the end of Hawaii?"
Hirohito asked worriedly, fearing that China would use Hawaii as a bargaining chip to compromise with the United States, accepting the Americans' suppression of the Japanese diaspora in Hawaii in exchange for the United States abandoning the Philippines.
Yang Chao knew what he was worried about, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Japanese were petty, and even the emperor was virtuous.
He said to Hirohito: "I can tell you clearly that this time China will oppress the United States to the greatest extent, because we really want to fight with the United States." β
It is not necessarily a good thing for China to completely defeat the United States before it has the power to dominate the world.
Because of this war, Yang Chao is confident enough to be undefeated, as long as he is undefeated, he does not need to land on the US mainland, he only needs to fight an invincible war with the US Navy, disrupt the current world situation, disrupt the United States' turmoil in Europe, and let the United States shrink its power back to the Americas.
If the position of world hegemony of the Americans after World War II was ceded by the British, then the Americans had already completed the layout in Europe long before World War II, and then took advantage of the threat of Soviet Russia to Britain to force Britain to give up its world hegemony and transfer all the military bases throughout the world to the US Navy.
The Dawes plan is a key step in the layout of the United States, and it has just begun, if Yang Chao plays a military conflict with the United States at this time, the Americans do not know if they still have the heart to continue to deploy in Europe, if they shrink, Yang Chao will continue to support Germany through Britain, so that Germany can guarantee the ability to start World War II, and greatly reduce the influence of the United States in Europe.
If this does not allow the British to choose to cede the world hegemony to China in the future, then it is impossible to say that Yang Chao can only choose to let China personally destroy the Anglo-American world system, so fighting the United States now is also planning for the future.
As for whether the Chinese Navy will be annihilated by the U.S. Navy in a complete defeat, and then the United States threatens the Chinese mainland and signs an alliance with China, it is theoretically unlikely to happen in the case of artillery giants, and it is difficult to completely eliminate the other side in naval battles in the era of artillery giants, and the Anglo-German naval battle is an example, hundreds of warships fought for a day and a night, and none of the dreadnought-class battleships were sunk.
The most disparity in naval warfare in the era of artillery and giant ships was the Russo-Japanese naval battle, but it was the pre-dreadnought era, and the firepower of warships had a great advantage over defense, and the defense of warships in the dreadnought era was the same as the battlefield of World War I, which was greater in defense than in attack, and it was the emergence of tank and aircraft lightning tactics that broke the balance in land warfare, and the emergence of aircraft carriers that broke the balance in naval warfare.
The battleships, China, the United States, and Britain were at the same level, but due to the large number of warships in the Chinese Navy at that time, as compensation, they obtained more modified aircraft carriers, and the Washington Naval Treaty stipulated that China's aircraft carrier tonnage was twice that of Britain and the United States, and that it would conduct a naval war with the Americans with twice the tonnage of aircraft carriers.
Of course, they will not die, because the Chinese navy, which has experienced the baptism of naval warfare in which the Chinese and Japanese armies were annihilated, has long been a navy with a military soul, and the main commanders of the navy are all survivors of that naval battle, and the other officers are not rich in combat experience, but they all have professional knowledge backgrounds, and the captains of each warship are professional naval officers who graduated from the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau or the Yantai Naval School.
The only thing they lack is actual combat experience, but unfortunately, the US Navy is even less experienced than them, but a large number of commanders of the Chinese Navy have fought a life-and-death duel with the Japanese Navy, but what about the US Navy? The biggest combat experience is participating in the escort, against the German submarines, the real ship-to-ship battle, that is more than 20 years ago in the era of the Spanish-American War, when Spain was still using wooden warships, this is a fart experience.
On the basis of the equal number of capital warships, the age of China's warships, and the aircraft carriers twice that of the United States, it is sometimes really difficult to fail.
Therefore, the most optimistic outcome for the Americans is to be completely driven out of Asia, and the least optimistic outcome is to fight a naval war with China, and if they win, the Americans can get a decent treaty, and if they fail, they will have to face the danger of landing the troops of the five East Asian countries on the American mainland. I can say so. β
Hirohito's tone was already lighthearted. (To be continued.) )
