Chapter 370: The Fall of the Japanese Navy
In May 1943, with the gradual escalation of contradictions and the expulsion of Japanese troops, the military plan of the Eastern European Union was finally put on the agenda, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Eastern European Union declared that Jeju Island was the inherent territory of the Qin State and no one could infringe on it.
When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced it, in fact, the Far East Fleet was ready to take it by force, and when the Japanese Foreign Ministry saw this scene, it could only helplessly protest while assembling a fleet to prepare to strike a fatal blow on the Far East Fleet and intercept the Far East Fleet on the way.
Of course, all this is just a temporary thought, the Far Eastern Fleet at this time is not a few old warships a few years ago, the Eastern European Alliance in terms of science and technology is well-deserved in the world, and the Far Eastern Fleet has not risen only for time and geographical reasons.
In the waters of Japan, when three behemoths appeared in front of the Japanese Navy, the Japanese Navy soldiers were full of incredulity, because the flag of the Eastern European Union Navy was hung on it.
The eagle soars, the three emperors cross, this means the power of the Habsburgs, means the absolute authority of Ernst, the entire Eastern European Alliance 5 million army is not the Eastern European Union army, in short, they are Ernst's private army, Ernst trained to protect Ernst's private territory.
More than a dozen escort ships immediately appeared in front of the Japanese Navy, and it was at this time that their attention looked from the behemoth in front of them to the cruisers of the Eastern European Alliance, which had already prepared their guns.
Rumble!
There was a fluctuation in the sea level, and it was the guns of a cruiser, and the target of this shell was undoubtedly the converted Japanese aircraft carrier.
The captain's hoarse shouts made the aircraft carrier dodge, and to be honest, the cruiser was not very accurate, so the Japanese aircraft carrier did not do any damage, but...... This is just the beginning.
Countless fighter-bombers suddenly appeared in the sky over Japanese aircraft carriers, and this number, naturally, was not carried by aircraft carriers, but directly from Busan......
Admiralty, Tokyo, Japan
At this time, the Admiralty can be said to be very busy. Because they had already received many requests for help from the Japanese fleet, and the content of the request for help was basically the same, that is, they were attacked by the powerful attack of the Eastern European Alliance Navy. The attack was very ferocious, so fierce that it could not be resisted at all.
From the arrogant and invincible to the present, the status of the Japanese military has continued to decline, and the combat effectiveness of the Eastern European Alliance has really poured cold water on them.
The Japanese cabinet is also clamoring at this time. At this time, the Japanese military was not as powerful as before, and the defeat in several major battles had already caused them to lose the new positions of the domestic conglomerates, that is, the military itself began to split into multiple factions and quarreled with each other every day.
Of course, before this time, their clamor and quarrel were not as serious as they are now, after all, in their eyes, Japan was still strong, and the defeat of the military was an opportunity for them to regain power.
Right now? Now it is naturally very different, because with the continuous loss of the war and now that the Far Eastern Fleet of the Eastern European Alliance has hit its own doorstep, how can Japanese politics still sit still? In fact, don't talk about them, isn't it the same with the emperor who has always been mysterious?
Surrender, compromise, peace. Similar remarks began to dominate the main trend of Japanese government affairs, not only those cabinet officials, but also some veteran military generals.
It was only the young generals who insisted on the hawks, who believed that they were invincible, that the emperor could bring them victory and hope, and that even if they were killed, they would be promoted to the god of war!
Most of the young generals of this group of hawks are middle- and lower-level officers in the army. High-ranking generals? How can they believe these things if they are not stupid, everything is bluffing.
But after all, it's these bluffing things that are now making them all start to lose control of the war, and not even just the war. The same is not true for the Japanese army?
Some mid-ranking officers even openly said that it would not matter if the Eastern European Union Army landed in Japan. They also have tens of millions of Japanese expatriates, and if they are armed, even if Japan is destroyed, they will make the Eastern European alliance pay a high price.
Honestly, if that's the case, then maybe it will really turn out the way he says, but will things really go that way? The answer, of course, is no, because too many people's interests and lives are involved. Those high-ranking officials and high-ranking generals did not want to sacrifice in vain.
It doesn't matter if the country is not there, as long as they are alive and their interests are safeguarded, then what does it matter who Japan belongs to? In fact, this is not just the thoughts of those high-ranking generals and high-ranking officials, but also the worst-case plan of the emperor.
The top does not agree and the bottom does not support, so this mid-level officer is just a fantasy. Things simply wouldn't have turned out the way he thought they would.
In July 1945, the Eastern European Union navy won a great victory, and even one-third of the Japanese navy chose to surrender outright, which was also a very strong increase in the naval strength of the Eastern European Union.
Without the threat of the navy, taking Jeju Island would have been as easy as digging for something, and the war in Europe had officially started with the failure of a negotiation between Hitler and Ernst.
It was just a small border city, and Germany refused to let go, so the angry Eastern European Union naturally issued a direct public warning to Germany.
If a city can really avoid war, then it is impossible for Germany not to cede it, after all, in the confrontation with the Eastern European Union, Germany belongs to the weaker side.
If a city can be exchanged for a year of development, then I believe that Hitler will directly cede a province to Ernst and to the Eastern European Union, because it is all worth it. But Hitler knew very well that it was impossible, that the Eastern European Union would never give Germany a chance to develop, and therefore there was no need to cede the cities to disturb the hearts of the soldiers.
Germany's unification of Western Europe made the German Army at this time very arrogant, and its morale was almost raised to the full level, and the same was true for the Eastern European Union, so it was a real battle of the century.
The official start of the European battlefield made the commanders of the group armies attacking the Japanese side suddenly a little impatient, because they were urging themselves to attack Japan in the hope that they could participate in the European theater.
Ernst said that whoever could take Tokyo would be the fourth marshal, but the position of a marshal could not meet their needs at all, and at the same time, no one wanted to give Ernst favors, so it was the perfect way to end the war in the Far East as soon as possible and then go to Europe.
