Section 737 Adolf of the East
A large number of military orders will definitely allow Chinese companies to complete the conversion of production before France surrenders and Britain falls into a desperate situation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, this time China could not have a share of the cake alone, not to mention the United States, which has strong industrial strength, even in Asia, there are competitors, and the outbreak of the European war, the Japanese are also ecstatic, and intend to usher in another wartime boom.
In Tokyo, at a party, Prime Minister Fumima Konoe wore a suit and a mustache and walked into the venue.
A group of guests immediately gave a warm applause, because Konoe Fumima was dressed exactly like Adolf.
This isn't the first time Konoe has dressed up like this, the last time his niece got married, he was dressed like this.
It is clear that he was an admirer of Adolf Hitler, and no one doubts this, because many times, when he was drunk, he shouted Long live Hitler.
The first time was because Adolf's army entered the Rhineland, the French acquiesced to this result, and the Germans resorted to the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles.
The second time was when Germany annexed Austria, Britain and France once again chose to acquiesce, and Nazi Germany, which unified the Germanic nations, became a superpower with a population of nearly 80 million and the largest industrial strength in Europe in one fell swoop, which greatly encouraged the Japanese fascists.
The third time was when Germany annexed the Sudetenland and soon occupied the whole of Czechoslovakia, which combined with more than Britain and France combined.
Germany has risen, but the Japanese feel that they themselves have been treated a lot of injustice, people are inferior, the Germans feel unfair, but they have not considered that they are defeated countries, and the Japanese do not consider how much suffering they have brought to their neighbors, they will only see that they are treated unfairly, only see that they cannot have a navy to defend themselves, but they do not want to think more about why they once had the most powerful navy, but now they cannot have a navy.
Konoe Funma is such a person, from the perspective of origin, he is still very different from ordinary fascists, he is from the old aristocratic duke family, their family is probably prosperous for hundreds of years, and the shogunate era is a daimyo.
But there is such a thing as thinking, he can make a rich man become a GC fighter, and he can make a rogue feel that he is very great, and Konoe Funma agrees with fascist ideas very much in his thinking.
He had close contacts with the fascist leaders of the former army, such as Nagata Tetsuyama, Akira Muto, and Hideki Tojo, and although these people were only middle-level officers, they were already able to enter and leave the Konoe Mansion.
Later, the leader of the army control faction, Nagata Tetsuyama, was assassinated by a coup d'état launched by the more fanatical fascist faction, the imperial faction, and then Emperor Hirohito sided with the imperial faction and purged the imperial faction in the army, and even veteran officers like Sadao Araki were assigned to the reserves, and then the control faction soared, but due to the lack of seniority, the backbone of Hideki Tojo was only a lieutenant general.
However, they were very powerful in the middle and lower ranks of the army, and they were an organization that united more than half of the middle and lower ranks of the army, and it can be said that they basically controlled the Japanese army.
It was also with their support that Fumima Konoe, a guy from an aristocratic background, was able to become the prime minister of Japan.
Fumima Konoe also became prime minister, and the army fascist organization completed the coming to power.
During Konoe's tenure, although Japan's political struggles were still there, they were much less than before, especially since the economy had slowly come out of the economic crisis. The power of the non-governmental political parties declined, and many of them even took the initiative to dissolve, and in response to the Taisei Wing Zan Association established by Konoe Fumima, all political parties were settled, and a unified system was established. I want to emulate the fascist system of Mussolini and Adolf, because the fascist system has been too bright in the economic crisis.
After Konoe Fumima's reforms, Japan's political arena has reduced internal friction, and by expanding the deficit and other methods, the military industry has been frantically expanded, the military industry has been considerable, infantry light and heavy weapons are naturally not to mention, but also to create a complete aviation industry, Mitsui and other companies have launched the Zero fighter. The only weakness is the restricted shipbuilding industry, which China and North Koreans, especially the North Koreans, are staring at them very hard, and the last time they secretly engaged in shipbuilding, although they were moved to Hokkaido, they were discovered by North Korean spies.
Without a navy, Japan would have no sense of security, and Japan would not be able to determine its own destiny on its own, which made these fascists extremely dissatisfied.
Putting these aside, after the war began, the Japanese political circles felt that they had encountered a good opportunity, and once the world war broke out, Japan might have a chance to change the current status quo and lift the shackles imposed on them by Chinese and North Korean imperialism.
The premise is that China is drawn into the war, and finally defeated, so that Japan can turn over, but this hope is very slim, in general, after industrial civilization, the whole of Asia is on the periphery of the center of European civilization, and the war that broke out in Europe wants to affect China, which is very difficult.
So the Japanese know very well that they can only rely on themselves, but at the same time they have a natural sympathy for the challenger to the world order, the German Nazis, and after the First World War, the Germans carried a yoke that made them feel the same way.
Now Germany is not only strong under the leadership of Adolf, but also launched the second European war, which is likely to turn into a world war, how can this not make people like Konoe Fumima feel rejoicing, many Japanese officers in World War II have Adolf-style mustaches, this is not without reason, it is because of the Japanese military and political circles, there is a general Nazi worship, by chance, the process has changed, but the result has not changed, the Japanese still worship fascism.
Therefore, they had close contacts with the Nazis before the war, but they did not sign any alliance treaties with the Nazis as they did in history, and even if they were anti-GC International, they did not dare to sign them for fear of being contradicted by the East Asian Alliance. However, treaties such as trade agreements have long been signed.
Japan was on the side of the Nazis, both emotionally and profitably, so the Nazis launched the war and took Poland in a lightning flash, and the Japanese were so excited.
"Hitler, onboard!"
At the small gathering, Konoe Fumima also shouted the slogan of Hitler for the fourth time, and he could not hide his excitement.
Konoe Fumima had already negotiated with German diplomats, and although it was impossible to sign a military alliance with them, he decided to engage in secret military cooperation, Germany helped Japan develop tank technology, and Japan provided Germany with some military supplies necessary for the war, such as tin ore and rubber in the South Seas, and Japan was willing to transfer them on his behalf.
And if Germany has demand, the Japanese military industry is more than happy to provide military products for the German army. (To be continued.) )
