790 New War: There Must Be a War Between the United States and Japan?

Vice Admiral Fifty-Six Yamamoto strode into the office of Admiral Eisuke Yamamoto. The newly baked commander of the Combined Fleet has been full of ambition lately, but today he is a little angry. The short, stout body was like a rampaging bull, and the guard at the door of the Admiralty's office crashed into it at once.

The admiralty minister sat behind his desk, raised his head and looked at Yamamoto Fifty-six fixedly, and it took him a while to react, and he said in a calm voice: "Commander Yamamoto, when did you arrive in Tokyo?" Is there anything that matters? Oh, sit down, sit down, have something to say slowly. ”

Commander Yamamoto walked up to Minister Yamamoto and gave a military salute, and then suddenly burst out: "Your Excellency, General! Didn't you say it well, you want to sneak attack the Zhanjiang Military Port in China? If the negotiations with China are just to paralyze the other side, then I can understand that we need a surprise sneak attack, even if it is a peace treaty, there is no problem! But why did you cancel the order to attack the Zhanjiang military port? Is it really necessary to form an alliance with China to deal with Britain and France? This is a joke on the future and fate of the country, and it will have to deal with China for a while, and Britain and France for a while...... So what credibility does the empire have in the international arena? Even China and Germany would look down on the Empire, and besides, it would be impossible for the Empire to conquer the entire Dutch East Indies, British Papua New Guinea and Australia in a year! And the empire simply does not have a safe way to the south! It is simply not realistic to go south to Australia, because the Philippines, Guam, and Midway are like a chain that locks the empire's path south, and at the other end of this chain are Hawaii and the US Pacific Fleet! The empire is not China, the Americans do not take the empire in their eyes at all, they will not allow the empire to get involved in Australia! Therefore, the risk of going south is no less than that of going west, so please be sure to raise objections on behalf of the Navy at the cabinet meeting. ”

Eisuke Yamamoto smacked his mouth bitterly. It was difficult for Japan to move south to seize the territory of Britain and the Netherlands, but it was easier to move west to the Asian continent? Yamamoto's plan to attack the Zhanjiang military port was a big gamble. You must know that the current China has completely transferred to the wartime system, and the air force is far stronger than Japan, claiming to have 8,000 combat aircraft! Now that the war against the Soviet Union has basically ended, China's next combat target must be the South Seas, so their planes must have been transferred to various military airfields in the south. Perhaps two or three thousand warplanes were deployed near the Zhanjiang military port...... If the combined fleet is not careful, it will be blown up by these planes to the point that there is no scum left! If you have to make a choice between Pearl Harbor and Zhanjiang Military Port, then you would rather attack the US Pacific Fleet than fight Zhanjiang. Although both are almost suicides, it is a chronic suicide to provoke the United States in peacetime, and it may be possible to find some panacea to save your life before you die. And most of the tigers who touch the imperialist ass will not live for more than 6 months......

He sighed and looked up at Yamamoto Fifty-six, whose face was a little excited. Shaking his head slightly: "Yamamoto-kun, you should understand the predicament we are facing now. The army is no match for the China Army at all, and even if we succeed in a sneak attack on the Zhanjiang military port and temporarily paralyze the China Navy, it will not be possible for the army to acquire new land from the mainland. Even North Korea and the Far East will be lost! ”

"But we can at least get Dutch Indochina, which has 1.9 million square kilometers, which is bigger than the Far East and Korea combined! And we can still get the support of Britain and the United States, so that will be enough to contain China. ”

"But the He-111 and Ju-88 bombers of the Shina Air Force can cover Kyushu and western Honshu, and if they seize the Korean Peninsula, even Tokyo will be under their threat!"

Yamamoto Fifty-six was stunned when he heard this, and his two thick and short eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and he seemed to be in a dilemma. Eisuke Yamamoto stood up and pressed Yamamoto Fifty-six's shoulder: "Yamamoto-kun, you should have heard of the tragedy of the bombing of Moscow, right?" The Germans used more than 1,000 He-111s and Ju-88s to drop bombs in the Soviet capital every day, of which more than 200 He-111s belonged to the 7th Air Division of the China Air Force! According to intelligence, the China Air Force can also organize an air raid of this scale, if 1,000 bombers come to Tokyo every day to drop bombs...... How sad His Majesty must be! And how can we, as courtiers, let Your Majesty live every day in the bomb that will fall at any time? If Your Majesty has something to do, won't I be a sinner for the ages? Therefore, if you can not challenge China, it is better not to try not to challenge it.

At present, some progress has been made in the Japan-China negotiations under the chairmanship of the army's Admiral Nagata. China had promised to make Landin, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand the empire's theater of operations within a year of the war with Britain and France. Even after a year, these areas are still owned by whoever occupies them first.

These regions, especially Papua New Guinea, were simply under the nose of the Empire. If an attack were to be made from the Truk Islands, in a few months, the Imperial Army would be able to sweep through the whole of Papua New Guinea, so that the door to Australia in the south and Lanyin in the west would be completely open. If China wants to go south to Lanyin and Australia, it must seize the Singapore fortress. The British have been operating there for hundreds of years, especially in the last two years, and they have invested heavily in building Singapore into an impregnable fortress capable of defending against both sea and land attacks. The people of China don't have a year to fight at all. Thus in this one-year covenant, the empire took advantage. ”

"But the difficulty of the empire going south is even greater!" Yamamoto Fifty-six shook his head and retorted: "There is the US Pacific Fleet blocking the way of the empire on the way south, and the Americans will never allow Australia to fall into the hands of the empire!" And the Americans are not taking the empire seriously at all now! In the eyes of the Americans, the Sino-German alliance may have sufficient deterrent power, but our Great Japanese Empire is simply a second-rate country in Asia that is vulnerable to attack! When the time comes, they will not hesitate to choose to interfere in the actions of the Empire. ”

Yamamoto Isoroku once served as a military attache at the Japanese Embassy in the United States, and he is considered a rare "American school" in Japan. His words silenced Eisuke Yamamoto, and from the bottom of his heart, what Eisuke Yamamoto wanted to do most was to take advantage of the fire and rob, neither to go to war with China nor to the United States. Only fight the two outrageous world empires of Britain and the Netherlands......

"Yamamoto-kun, aren't Americans all anti-war? What else is there in their country, and there is isolationism. ”

"Your Excellency, that's because the Americans think they gave too much in World War I and gained too little." Yamamoto Isoroku smiled bitterly: "If it is the idea of defeating the Soviet Union's China and wanting to fight Australia, the United States may not dare to make a move." But if you want to change it to an empire...... It is still possible for the American people to support the US government in intervening, after all, they only need to defeat a weak Japan to turn a vast country like Australia into a protectorate of the United States! ”

"Nonsense! The Great Japanese Empire is not weak! ”

"But the American people don't know." Yamamoto said with a wry smile: "Since the 9/18 war, public opinion in the United States has regarded Japan as a weak country. ”

"Ridiculous!" Eisuke Yamamoto looked at the other party coldly, "Then what should the empire do?" Do you want to abandon your plan to go south and become a vassal of China forever? ”

After a long silence, Lieutenant General Yamamoto Fifty-six finally shook his head heavily and took a deep breath, "If the empire must choose to go south, then it should be ready for war with the United States!" There must be no chance of any chances. ”

"War with the United States...... Can you win? Eisuke Yamamoto asked himself and replied, "I'm afraid I don't have a good chance of winning, right?" ”

Yamamoto pondered for a moment, walked to a chart of the Pacific region the size of a half-wall, picked up his whip and pointed at Pearl Harbor on the chart, and said: "It's not that we can't fight, but we still have to strike first, and we must completely defeat the US Navy at the first moment of war, and if possible, we will ......."

Immediately after that, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, who was fond of gambling, said a war plan against the United States that surprised Eisuke Yamamoto and, of course, shocked the whole world in the future!

……

"Stand upright!"

With a loud command sounded, all the officers in the war room of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Volgograd stood straight. There was a loud sound of boots at the door, and the first person who walked in quickly was Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, with a serious face, followed by General Chen Cheng, deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, General Wei Lihuang, commander of the 18th Group Army, and Lieutenant General Du Yuming, chief of staff of the expeditionary force, and other important figures of the expeditionary force. In addition, there were the number one general of the White Russian army, Marshal Duke Tukhachevsky, and other White Russian military officers.

On August 1, 1938, Chiang Kai-shek, together with Soong Meiling, Chen Cheng, Chen Lifu and others, left Lushan, boarded an FW-200 transport plane at Jiujiang Airport, and arrived in Volgograd at 6:30 p.m. Moscow time on August 1, after a long-distance flight. The current Volgograd is the original Stalingrad, an important transportation hub in the lower reaches of the Volga River, and at the same time an important heavy industrial center of the Soviet Union. But by the time Chiang arrived here, the Bolsheviks had already destroyed all the factories in Volgograd! After this war, Russia's vitality has been greatly damaged, and it has not been ten or twenty years before it can recover.

To restore the Russian economy, of course, a lot of money is needed, and the best way to get it is oil near the Greater Caucasus Mountains! In this era, the Greater Caucasus region, with its two major oil fields, Grozny and Baku, was one of the largest oil-producing regions in the world. Moreover, in the near future, it is very likely that a new war will break out in Europe, and the value of oil, as a strategic resource, will definitely double by then.

Therefore, the "proletarian" empress of Petersburg also attached great importance to the Transcaucasian war, and specially created the Transcaucasian Front with Marshal Tukhachevsky as its commander. This side is equipped with 10 infantry corps, an air division, and more than 500,000 infantry, 2,000 artillery pieces and 500 aircraft, ready to completely wipe out the remnants of Stalin in one fell swoop! By the way, on the Urals side, Empress Anastasia also sent the Ural Front, with Marshal Blyukhel as its commander and a total strength of 600,000 troops, to encircle and suppress the Red Army entrenched in the Urals!

In short, the end of the Soviet Bolshevik Party looked like it was coming soon. And Chiang Kai-shek, who had no chance to realize the ideal of suppressing G in China, can finally dream of being able to do so in Russia, and he is still the Lao Tzu Party of Su G.

When Chiang Kai-shek stepped into this war room, he felt a murderous atmosphere, and he suddenly felt a slight feeling of discomfort. He found that the young Wehrmacht officer standing here was no longer the "good student" he used to be. These young officers who had gone through the baptism of the anti-Soviet war, both in terms of battlefield experience and military theory, had far surpassed Chiang Kai-shek as a principal. And everyone knows that the person who brought the Wehrmacht and the Republic of China to the current peak step by step was not Chiang Kai-shek, but Luo Yaoguo, Chief of the General Staff of the Wehrmacht! Now the young soldiers just stood proudly and greeted him, the old headmaster, with a strange look like a blade. And the element of reverence, to be honest, Chiang Kai-shek did not feel much. Lao Jiang faintly felt that in order to win the respect of these young officers who defeated millions of Soviet Russian troops, he could only use more brilliant military exploits! But where should he go to make a greater contribution than the destruction of Soviet Russia?

While he was thinking wildly, the expeditionary force had already walked from the chief of staff Du Yuming to the front of the large map in the war room, ready to explain the latest battle situation to him, the newly baked commander-in-chief Chiang.

In front of the large map, two seats were placed side by side, undoubtedly for Chiang Kai-shek and Tukhachevsky. The two glanced at each other, and without greetings, they sat down separately. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek, who liked to reprimand his subordinates very much in the past, suddenly found that in the face of this group of proud soldiers and fierce generals of the Wehrmacht, he even lacked the confidence to speak. He finally managed to squeeze out a few smiles, nodded at Du Yuming, and highlighted a few words: "Guangting, you can start." ”

Du Yuming nodded at Chiang Kai-shek and Tukhachevsky, and then made another gesture, and several lights in front of the large map suddenly lit up, illuminating the huge map in one fell swoop. The blue arrows became extremely conspicuous in the light, as if they were sharp swords, which were about to penetrate the majestic Caucasus Mountains and pierce Comrade Stalin's heart.

"Now the vanguard of the Russian Caucasian Front has advanced to Rostov, an important city on the north bank of the Don River." Du Yuming pointed to a small dot on the map on the Sea of Azov with his whip. Most of the generals here had already memorized the map of Russia by heart, and Du Yuming's move was purely for the consideration of Chiang Kai-shek, who did not know much about the situation on the front line.

"The next step of our army will be to use Rostov as the base camp for the southward attack on the Greater Caucasus Mountains. After the restoration of transport facilities and port and airport facilities in the vicinity of Rostov-on-Don. Then the main forces were advanced to the south of the Don River, and then the tactics of steady advance and step by step were adopted to approach and seize Grozny, Stavropol, Sochi and other places, forcing the Red Army into the Greater Caucasus Mountains.

While seizing the area north of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, the air force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force will join the Russian Royal Air Force, the Luftwaffe, the Polish Air Force (Poland received the Ukrainian territory from Vinnytsia to Odessa to compensate for the loss of Danzesk), and the Polish Navy (after losing the port of Danzig, the Polish Navy entered the Black Sea and was deployed in the port of Odessa) to annihilate the Red Army's Black Sea Fleet and seize sea supremacy in the Black Sea.

After the destruction of the Red Army's Black Sea Fleet, after taking control of the Black Sea. The combined forces of China and Russia will launch a full-front offensive against the Red Army in various mountain passes in the Greater Caucasus Mountains and on the Black Sea coast! The focus of the attack will be on the Black Sea coast, which is relatively flat, and the armored ship "Polish Legion" of the Polish Black Sea Fleet can provide fire support, and the air force of China and Russia and Poland can also provide air fire support. Therefore, we will adopt the tactics of a slow advance on this front, so that the Red Army will mistakenly believe that it is possible to block the advance of our troops, and constantly throw the main forces into the battlefield on the Black Sea coast......

According to intelligence, the Red Army in the Greater Caucasus Mountains currently numbered about 300,000 to 400,000 men, a large part of which came from the former Soviet Interior Guard, which was the most loyal to the Bolshevik Party. Moreover, at the time of Stalin's battle in Moscow, a large number of weapons, ammunition and military supplies were transported to Tbilisi, so the battle for bandits in the Caucasus would still be very fierce. The Red Army is likely to hold out against all odds, hoping that the units will be prepared to fight hard and suffer casualties! ”

Then Du Yuming began to explain the specific troop configuration and deployment of the Russian coalition forces. The whip in his hand slowly sketched north of the Caucasus Mountains, dotting the numbers of one infantry division after another, crossing one important road after another, and important cities, as if a large-scale battle was displayed on this huge map. And Chiang Kai-shek, who was sitting there listening to the report, already had a feeling of being breathless, and he had a completely unfamiliar feeling about the war in front of him! In this war, which does not seem to be too large-scale, 16 corps, 48 divisions, 64 artillery regiments, 800,000 officers and soldiers participating in the battle, 5,500 artillery pieces of various kinds, more than 1,500 aircraft, more than 500 tanks, and dozens of ships were mobilized...... A war of this scale, so many technical weapons, and the coordination of the navy, land and air force are completely unimaginable to Chiang Kai-shek.
