In the northwest of the new capital, adjacent to Xiaonanhai, the Tang Palace City is located in the conference room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government Council in the ancient courtyard of Honglu Temple, and the atmosphere is warm.
Prior to An Yi's arrival, Prime Minister Xu Ziliang and Foreign Minister Ngo Dinh Diem had a cordial and friendly exchange with the visitors, and the two government officials were proud of Nanhua's high status in the international community and their Chinese identity.
Before the war, the ambassadors of these European and American countries to Asia and Africa all regarded themselves as emperors, flying and domineering, where they were so gentle and polite as now, the topic revolved around the meaning of the master, and the tone was full of envy and flattery, this feeling of a big country and a strong country was really wonderful.
After An Yi arrived, Xu Ziliang and Wu Tingyan respectfully saluted An Yi and briefly greeted him, then apologized to the guests with a smile, left the conference room, and handed over the leadership to An Yi.
The British and American ambassadors naturally know An Yi's identity and status in South China, and the military and political circles of this emerging country all look to An Yi first, and anyone who does not take the initiative to integrate into this circle will be ostracized, and they understand the humility shown by Xu Ziliang and Wu Tingyan and the respect for An Yi from the heart.
After the guests and hosts sat down, the ambassadors of the two countries first congratulated South China on its gratifying victories on the eastern and western fronts, and then inquired about the current progress in the West Asian theater. At present, most of the attention of British and American reporters is focused on the war in North America, and there is no time to be distracted from Asia, which is thousands of miles away.
After expressing his gratitude, An Yi briefly introduced the situation of the self-defense operation against Germany that took place on the border defense line, saying that so far, the German army has only occupied the Mukan steppe area of Azerbaijan that the An Jia army voluntarily abandoned, and the German army has not advanced an inch of land in the rest of the area, and has suffered heavy casualties. The intended operational objectives were basically achieved.
As Germany's old rival, the British are strong against the German ** team. It has a more intuitive impression. British Ambassador Darwin heard that the An Army had not only supported the defensive line under the surprise attack of the German army. It also gave the Germans a huge amount of damage, and I was very curious, but I couldn't help but be relieved when I thought of the mysterious long-range missiles of the An Jiajun that came from the intelligence department. I wondered when I was going to get to the point.
An Yi introduced several representative battlefield situations, especially mentioning yesterday's thrilling air battle. Of course, surface-to-air missiles and jet fighters are still kept strictly secret, mainly talking about the great damage caused by anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns operated by fire control systems to Japanese and German fighters, as well as the important role played by radar in early warning and air combat. The British and American ambassadors were amazed.
When one of the data is heard. U.S. Ambassador Alfrede anxiously asked: "Mr. President, you said that the loss of Japanese fighters was about 6,000 aircraft, which is simply unbelievable. If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the Japanese Navy and Army Air Force will not be able to replenish it for at least half a year? ā
"Is there any benefit to me lying?"
An Yi smiled slightly: "Your intelligence department, sooner or later, will know the truth, if I brag." Aren't you afraid of being smiling and generous? Rest assured! The Japanese did steal chickens and rice this time, and the original intention of their base camp was to draw our attention. Cover for the 'air blitzkrieg' launched by the Germans. Not wanting our air force to be in a tight position, coupled with the fact that their commanders were hot-headed and regarded the feint mission as a great opportunity to save face, all army and navy air forces went all out, and if they did not succeed, they became benevolent, and finally suffered such a crushing defeat!
"Seriously, I didn't expect such a big result. I thought it would be great to have a harvest of two or three thousand at most! You must know that in the air battle of Britain for more than three years, the total number of fighters lost by Germany was only about 5,000, and the loss of more than 20,000 air crews was indeed unexpected.
"Our General Staff Headquarters and Air Force Department held a meeting overnight last night to sum up the battle situation, and came to the conclusion that the key to the Japanese army's fiasco lies in the fact that most of its pilots are newcomers who have just left the gate of the aviation school, and there are even many aviation school cadets, who have no experience in air combat but have been entrusted with heavy responsibilities by the Japanese army's top brass, and they do not know how to be flexible in the attack, and before our army's radar gives early warning and makes targeted responses, they are like moths to a fire, which has led to this jaw-dropping windfall.
"But that's okay, after this battle, there has been a gap in the training of pilots of the Japanese Navy and Army, and it will be impossible to replenish new personnel to their air force for a long time, and its huge consumption of fighters will also seriously reduce the number of planes that Japan has put into the Americas to fight, so that your country's counterattack is more certain!"
Alfred looked excited: "In this way, in order to make up for the losses on the mainland, the Japanese army may even send an air force in the Americas to reinforce it...... As long as our American Air Force can grasp the opportunity and grasp air supremacy, the entire war situation may change positively. ā
An Yi nodded: "I don't rule out this possibility, but I also have to beware of the Japanese army's desperate gamble to deal with the counterattack of your ** team, and even you have to do a good job in JapanIn order to recover the losses in the Japanese archipelago, the air force suddenly dispatched to launch a full-line attack on the cities in your country's rear to accelerate the process of the war in North America."
"Alas, speaking of which, your country is also too careless about keeping high-tech weapons and technologies secret...... As far as I know, Japan acquired radar and fire control technology from your country, and after the successful attack on Pearl Harbor, they had an extraordinary bumper harvest, and their navy gained what it could not get from normal trade, and its strength was multiplied, which directly led to a series of defeats for the Allied navies.
"After the invasion of the United States, Japan has gained a lot of money, not only receiving a large number of steel plants, arsenals, and aircraft factories that your country has not had time to relocate on the West Coast, but even obtaining from you the research and development materials of fighter aircraft that have a large number of our technical patents. Up to now, they have the technology and production line to manufacture advanced fighters such as P47 and P51, and even built ultra-long-range bombers such as B24 and B29, which are specially used for operations in the Americas.
"If your country directly or indirectly finances the enemy like this, even if we have new technologies and new weapons, we will not dare to boldly hand them over to you for use!"
Alfred's face turned red, and after a while he explained: "The Japanese wolf son ambition. Every time it was a surprise attack with or without intention, and we have many factories and enterprises on the West Coast. Where can the migration be completed in a while? Moreover. Human nature is evil, and seeing that Japan and Germany are in a big way, there are not a few speculators who secretly collude with them, and they also bring many core secrets. This is something that no country or nation can avoid. The only way to do this is to win a few more battles. It is the right thing to encourage the morale of the army and the people, otherwise the war will continue, and the future will be worrying! ā
An Yi asked in surprise: "The United States is known as the arsenal of democratic countries. Could there be any difficulties? ā
Alfred smiled bitterly and said:
"That was before...... Since the landing of Japanese troops in Alaska. The situation has changed unexpectedly. Although there are many factories and enterprises lost in the western, northwestern and southwestern regions of our country, it is harmless to the huge industrial base of the United States!
"The most unacceptable thing is the lack of energy and mineral resources! California, Texas and other places are the main oil producing areas of the United States. The oil and minerals of Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and other countries have always been dominated by the United States. There is no need to worry about the lack of operation, we just need to start the machine and produce vigorously.
"But now everything is different...... Not only did we lose half of Canada's territory, but the whole of Latin America was also in chaos because of the Japanese attack, coupled with the harassment of the German submarine forces in the Caribbean and the Atlantic, resulting in our factories and enterprises being unable to obtain sufficient supplies from the outside world. ā
"Is all this true?"
An Yi looked at the British ambassador Darwin in disbelief, wanting to find something in his face.
Darwin nodded heavily: "The situation is indeed quite bad, our British army has not been resupplied by the United States for two months. As the war continues to the present, Britain's strategic reserves for many years have been depleted, and now almost all of its colonies are lost except for south-central Africa...... If it weren't for the just cause of mankind, we wouldn't have struggled like this. Therefore, both of our countries hope that the South China government and the military will take more responsibility, otherwise the situation will get worse and worse. ā
An Yi never imagined that the United States and the United Kingdom, which were once extremely beautiful, would be so bad that the real situation would be so bad.
But think about it, even in the most difficult times in history, Britain possessed India, West Asia, and most of Africa, and the food and human resources were effectively guaranteed, and the abundant fuel supply in the Persian region allowed it to continue the war.
Looking at the Pacific Theater again, Japan, which had no strategic planning to fight wherever it wanted, never launched an attack on the American mainland, and although the Japanese Navy succeeded in its sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, it did not expect to launch a landing operation or even station troops on the Hawaiian Islands, thus leaving the United States with an advance base that could be reactivated after a little repair.
Before launching the Battle of Midway, the Japanese navy and army wasted a lot of time, and they did not even touch Australia, of course, this is also related to the lack of development of Australia in history, but in any case, if the battlefield can be opened up in Australia, it can greatly divert the attention of the US military and ensure the safety of the "absolute defense circle".
It is precisely because Japan does not have a long-term plan that the United States, which is at peace at home, can calmly obtain sufficient resources from Australia, Latin America, Canada, and other places, and even the Americans are still in the mood to go to the Gulf region to explore and unearth a large amount of oil, fully operate its world's largest production machine, and manufacture countless warships, transport ships, aircraft, tanks, guns, and artillery. In addition to easily responding to the Japanese attack, the United States also had spare strength to support the world's operations.
But now this time and space is completely different, due to the enclosure and development of the Chinese American consortium, coupled with the southward relocation of the Shanghai Jewish chaebol after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Australia's industry has made rapid progress, and Japan, which has the power to go south and has a long-term plan, not only won Hawaii and Australia in one fell swoop, but also burned the war to the Americas in one fell swoop, and messed up the original unimpeded material supply channels of the United States.
If this kind of interference was not obvious at the beginning, but the war on home has been going on for almost two years now, and even if the United States has more reserves, it is not enough to consume them, no wonder the US government has behaved so low-profile from top to bottom.
An Yi also did not want Britain and the United States to fall. After thinking about it, he said, "We will never shirk the responsibility." But reality must be respected. You can't be too ambitious, that won't help. Our long coastline is not only threatened by the Japanese navy, but also the territory of West Asia is also under fierce attack by the German army. Presumably, the two ambassadors also knew that the German army, which had just conquered the Soviet Union. What a terrible behemoth, we have to give it our all.
"Only after the situation on the Western Front is completely stabilized will we have the strength to open up a new battlefield. I'm also bitter here. In fact, the war continues to this day. We are also facing a series of difficulties, the main problem being that the two fronts are too wide apart, and it is difficult to transfer troops and supplies. At the same time, while we have expanded our production capacity as much as possible, our growing number of machine tools and production lines is currently only one-third of that in the United States. At the same time, there are too few skilled workers, and they must go through a period of training before they can take up their posts. We also have to fulfill your country's orders to support the Soviet army in the war, the production of materials has reached the limit, and it is unlikely that a large increase in production capacity will be carried out in a short time.
"Previously, in order to launch the war in the Northeast and the Far East and cooperate with other battlefields, we had hoarded materials for more than half a year before we dared to do it. Fortunately, the Japanese army also faced the same problem as ours, the front was too long, and at the same time it had to deal with many battlefields such as Africa, Australia, and the Americas, and the resistance was not fierce.
"However, the ongoing war on the Western Front, the scale and intensity of the operation are absolutely unprecedented for us, and the difficulties are also very great, and I do not expect it to end in a short time, we must be prepared for a long-term battle, and we must not dare to cause extraneous branches and lead to the collapse of the front line, and no one can afford this responsibility."
Alfred and Darwin looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
An Yi comforted: "Actually, the two ambassadors don't have to worry too much, although we are in difficulty, why not Germany and Japan?" Japan and Germany seem to have stood at the top of their glory, but the war has been going on so far, their national strength is about to be exhausted, if nothing else, let's talk about the two ** teams, if we wait for the opportunity to eliminate one million to two million German troops and Japanese troops in the next year, then these two countries that have risen completely by aggression will definitely fall into the brink of collapse because the front is too long and the troops are insufficient. I predict that by at least the middle of next year, the tide of the war will change radically. ā
Darwin's heart moved: "What do you mean, Mr. President...... Are you confident that you will win a decisive victory in the Middle East by June next year? ā
"I didn't say that!"
An Yi waved his hand: "You can understand that this is a beautiful outlook for me on the future changes in the international situation!" A general who does not want to win a battle is unqualified, and if I had only three or four percent hope of victory before, after more than a day of contact with the German army, this may have increased to six or seven percent. ā
After thinking hard, the two ambassadors still didn't understand the essentials, and looked at An Yi curiously.
An Yi reminded with a smile: "Germany can produce 10 to 2 million tons of oil on its own, and with coal chemical oil technology, they can rely on themselves to solve 400 to 5 million tons of fuel oil, but the overall consumption of Germany and the occupied territories is at least about 15 million tons." In previous operations, we managed to destroy the Baku oil fields, dealt a devastating blow to the oil port of Batumi, and last night air strikes on the oil fields of Romania and Egypt, and Germany's fuel supplies will soon be in trouble. What would be the result if Germany's mechanized army could not be activated? ā
Darwin was ecstatic, the news of An Jiajun's air raids on the above areas, he only got it from China before he came to the Government Council, and he did not connect it with the current war situation for a while, and now An Yi pushed it a little, and he suddenly realized that he admired the young leader in front of him more and more.
Alfred was also greatly impressed, he thought for a while, and said: "Mr. President, I heard that your country used an ultra-long-range offensive weapon when attacking Japan, can we get this weapon to defend our American and British land?" ā
An Yi pretended to be embarrassed: "It stands to reason that as a member of the allies, I should indeed share our good weapons with our allies...... However, the secrecy of your country is only poor, and I am very worried that the Japanese will get such weapons from your country, then our territorial security will be greatly threatened, and in principle we are not ready to sell such weapons to the outside world! ā
Alfred bowed his head sadly, and Darwin was silent when he wanted to speak.
An Yi smiled and comforted: "Of course, if your country can ensure that the weapons will not leak, we are still willing to help, but this needs to be discussed carefully with me and Mr. Hull, and I don't think it will become an obstacle to our friendly relations." In addition, I would like to correct that the range of this weapon is not very long, the maximum is only 350 kilometers, and the reason why we can attack Japanese territory is that we have used the special projection weapon of airships, and I will discuss the specific information in detail when Mr. Hull comes. ā
When Alfred heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up with excitement. As long as An Yi's door to negotiation is not closed, then everything is negotiable.
An Yi also has his own plans, the Syrian Institute of Finance has specially developed a foreign trade surface-to-ground attack missile based on F-2 missile technology, which can not only be launched on land, but also can be carried on an airship and thrown at an altitude of 20,000 meters, it uses electronic ignition, and then guided by radar, its technology is at least one generation behind the F-3 missile, not to mention the latest F-4 missile.
Moreover, there are many things that seem important but are actually of no practical use in the key electronic components, which is enough to lead the British and American reverse reasoning research astray, and when it does not work and return to the original path, Nanhua's research has become even more advanced.
After listening to the introductions of Alfred and Darwin, An Yi had a more wonderful idea, since the United States is now facing the problem of tight supply of raw materials, can it be exchanged for missiles for some machine tools and production lines to vigorously expand the production capacity of Nanhua? Maybe it's a win-win exchange!
