China and Japan fought again with seven tricks

Zhou Elai looked at Luo Yaoguo quietly, carefully analyzing the meaning of the other party's words in his heart.

Behind the division of the theater of operations, I am afraid, it will be directly related to the distribution of interests after the war! He smiled slightly: "Okay, we can not talk about the problem of Japan's handling after the war, let's discuss how to defeat this fierce enemy first!" This understatement seems to resolve the embarrassing problem at hand. He paused and said, "As for the distribution of war zones, of course, we GC International are willing to take on more obligations and are also prepared to make the necessary sacrifices. It's just that our weapons and equipment are still insufficient, and if the Nationalist Government and the United States can provide enough equipment, there will be no problem if we are responsible for liberating the Japanese mainland. ”

Luo Yaoguo thought secretly: "This Premier Zhou is really shrewd enough, and he will talk about military aid before the war." The U.S. ambassador Rockefeller frowned and asked suspiciously, "You are responsible for attacking the Japanese mainland...... Do you have a navy? If the United States were to provide a small sum of money to procure weapons from the Chinese national government to arm the GC international army, it would be possible. But that's limited to the Army, and the Navy doesn't have it right away after spending money. Without a strong enough navy, your army simply won't be able to reach the Japanese mainland. ”

Zhou Elai was stunned and wanted to say that the GC International Army was only responsible for land warfare. But after thinking about it, I felt that it was not safe, what if the Kuomintang left the landing force of the GC International Army on the Japanese beach? He was silent for a moment, looked at Luo Yaoguo and Rockefeller and smiled, and said, "Thank you Mr. Ambassador for reminding me, I was negligent for a while and forgot about the problem of the navy." In this way, Sakhalin and the Korean Peninsula will be liberated by our GC International Army. However, the National Government and the United States are to provide the necessary weapons and equipment to our GC International Army. ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled politely and respectfully at Zhou Elai, and asked rhetorically, "May I ask what the necessary weapons and equipment are?" I hope GC International can give a definite number so that we can consider whether to provide it or not. Also, how many troops are you going to send? And where did it come from? In addition, the weapons that we can provide free of charge are very limited. ”

Zhou Elai smiled faintly: "Since we GC International are important members of the World Anti-Fascist War, of course we will bear the necessary obligations. We will mobilize GC international forces from India to liberate Korea and Sakhalin, and in addition, the Korean troops stationed in the Far East and the Japanese People's Liberation Army in Sakhalin will also participate in the war, with a total strength of about 25 divisions and about 300,000 men. We hope that the Nationalist Government and the United States will be able to provide the weapons and equipment needed for these armies to fight, and that the infantry divisions will be equipped according to the standards of light infantry divisions, and each division will have at least one 105mm heavy artillery battalion. In addition, 200 No. 2 tanks, 200 150mm heavy guns were needed. As for the price...... We will pay 50% of the maximum and let China and the United States share the rest.

Also, since we are mainly sending Indian troops, the Nationalist Government needs to transport these weapons to India and wait for our troops to become familiar with the capabilities of these weapons before transporting them to the Korean front. ”

Luo Yaoguo rolled his eyes, it is estimated that the remaining 100,000 or so bones and blood of the Soviet Red Army will also be sent to the Korean battlefield, right? It seems that the open and secret struggle between the Chinese and Soviet parties is still going on after the meeting...... But this abacus is well played, using the Soviets and Indians to play the turf for themselves! However, Japan seems to have stationed heavy troops in Korea, and also spent a lot of money to build the defense line of the Yalu River, relying on the remnants of the 300,000 Soviet Red Army, the Indian Asan, and the North Korean stick can be defeated? I really don't know what this person is having? Could it be that he wanted to wait for the defeat of Japan before taking Korea?

Luo Yaoguo thought for a moment and replied: "At most, we can provide weapons and equipment at a discount of 25 light infantry divisions, and there is no problem with tanks and heavy artillery, but you must dispatch all your troops within 45 days and launch a full-scale attack within 60 days." Remember, it's too late...... I'm afraid that there will be no need for the GC international army, and we will be able to bring down the DPRK ourselves. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Rockefeller, who was drinking coffee, "Mr. Ambassador, the division of the theater of operations between our two countries is bounded by Midway, with China in charge of the west and the United States in the east, how about it?" And how about your country also responsible for the remaining 30% of the GC international arms purchases? ”

The U.S. ambassador smiled and put down his coffee cup as well. With a smile: "It is also the intention of the U.S. government to divide the war zone with Midway Island as the boundary. In addition, the United States could provide the remaining 30 percent of the arms purchases, but only at low interest rates, and we had to sign a binding agreement to that end, and the forces of the GC International would have to be used against Japanese forces in Korea by November 1939. ”

Zhou Elai was silent for a moment when he heard this, and his thick eyebrows gradually locked, looking a little embarrassed. In the end, he still smiled bitterly and nodded: "Okay, the issue of principle will be finalized first, and the specific negotiations can be discussed by Comrade Han Nian and your representatives." As he spoke, he pointed to the ambassador of the Far Eastern Republic to China beside him. Pan Hannian stood up and nodded at Luo Yaoguo and Rockefeller: "I hope that we can reach a final agreement with you as soon as possible, so that Japanese imperialism can be eliminated as soon as possible." ”

Luo Yaoguo also stood up with a smile, and shook hands with Zhou Elai, Pan Hannian, and Rockefeller, who were about to leave: "I also hope that Japan can be eliminated as soon as possible, but it will take about a year soon, right?" As far as I know, the Japanese are very stubborn! ”

Zhou Elai nodded with a wry smile, exchanged a few more greetings with Luo Yaoguo, and left in a hurry with Pan Hannian, and Rockefeller also left at the same time and went back to report the good news to the US government...... In previous negotiations with Luo Yaoguo, the Chinese government had promised to declare war on Japan within October! Luo Yaoguo politely sent them to the door, squinting at a few cars that were going away, not knowing what they were thinking. After a while, he suddenly turned his head to Wu Ziliang and said, "Chonglou, what kind of medicine do you think is sold in the gourd of Zhong G?" Wu Ziliang shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I don't know about this, but I'm sure that most of us have been put together by this Zhou E somewhere." ”

"Natalie, what do you think?" Luo Yaoguo asked Natalie beside him again.

Natalie snorted: "Naturally, I borrowed a knife to kill someone, borrowed a Japanese knife, and killed Stalin's people!" Moreover, we must also beware of what tricks they are doing in the Northeast. It's better to watch them with a couple of Panzergrenadier divisions and disarm them if something goes wrong! ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, noncommittal. However, at this time, he still did not see through the true intentions of GC International...... These armies, armed with Chinese weapons, will also set off a bloody storm on the South Asian subcontinent in the near future!

……

The maids brought tea sets and snacks, and then bent down and retreated, and the door of the tea room was gently pulled up. In the small room, there were two Japanese admirals and a Japanese army general, and a Japanese officer with the rank of major general on his uniform kneeling behind the general, who was the new head of the first department of the Japanese Army General Headquarters, Ishihara Wanji. And the two admirals are both surnamed Yamamoto, one is Admiral Eisuke Yamamoto, and the other is Yamamoto Isoroku, commander of the Combined Fleet. As for the army general, it is naturally the Minister of War Nagata Tetsuyama.

"Nagata-kun, with your understanding of Luo Yaoguo, will he refuse the invitation of the Russian Empress and not attend the Tehran Conference?"

The question was asked by Isoroku Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, a naval admiral in his early fifties who is now the soul of the Japanese Navy. Without his nod, even if it was the battle plan agreed by Eisuke Yamamoto, the navy would not have been able to carry it out! This time, Ishihara Waner's plan for the "special No. 1 decisive battle" was not supported by Commander Yamamoto for a long time. And the reason for his opposition is simple, the surprise attack of the Navy will not be successful! Because China's South and Western fleets are in a wartime state of high vigilance, it is absolutely impossible to be attacked by surprise. Unless there is something to paralyze the Chinese, there may be some chance of victory.

"Luo Yaoguo will definitely go, because he doesn't want to get into too much trouble with Hitler. After all, after this German-American war, no matter what the outcome, Germany will be the most powerful country in the world! After thinking for a while, Nagata Tetsuyama nodded affirmatively, "If we pretend to make big concessions at the Tehran meeting...... It should make the Chinese let their guard down, so that the possibility of a successful raid is very high! ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six straightened up and looked at Nagata with blazing eyes: "Your Excellency, no matter how we arrange the trick, the probability of a successful raid will not exceed 30%, but with a 30% chance of success, it is worth the gamble of Japan!" Saying that, he took another deep breath, "Your Excellency, I would like to know, how likely is it that your army will succeed in raiding Manchuria with the Chinese letting their guard down?" Because, my fleet is inseparable from oil, and if there is no oil from Manchuria, at most six months, the combined fleet will become a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron! ”

Nagata Tetsuyama glanced back at Ishihara, "Ishihara-kun, it's up to you to answer this question." ”

Ishihara lowered his head and said loudly: "The army will concentrate four tank divisions, twenty-five infantry divisions, three aviation divisions, five independent heavy artillery brigades, two independent cavalry brigades, plus some other auxiliary arms, with a total strength of more than 800,000!" There are 1,200 combat vehicles and self-propelled guns of various types, 3,500 cannons, and more than 700 aircraft. According to intelligence, the squadron deployed in Manchuria has only 10 armies at most, about 500,000 people, and all of them are infantry troops...... Their two Panzer armies, one in Australia and the other unaccounted for, but certainly not in Manchuria. In addition, the weather forecast also estimates that there may be an autumn rain in Manchuria in China for several days in mid-October this year. If the army chooses to launch a surprise attack at this time, it will have a good chance of winning, estimated to be more than 30%! ”

Of course, the 30% probability of success is not too high, but the three Japanese generals in the room are all relieved at the same time...... Compared to the inevitable defeat, the probability of winning 30% is indeed not low! But at this time, if they knew that among the 10 Chinese infantry corps, each of them would be equipped with an Panzergrenadier Division with nearly 190 assault guns by October, they don't know what their expressions would be?

"It's okay." Yamamoto Fifty-six nodded with difficulty, thought for a while, and said: "However, the navy's battle plan must also be revised, and it is not feasible to deploy 500 kamikaze planes on Luzon and Java at the same time, and attack Singapore and Zhanjiang military ports at the same time. There are too many unexpected factors to consider, as long as there is a little accident, it is possible to lose the whole game, and there are too few kamikaze planes invested in each battlefield. My idea is to attack only one military port in Zhanjiang, and I will also dispatch aircraft carriers, with 500 kamikaze aircraft on board the aircraft carrier, and another 500 on Philippine airfields, for a total of 1,000 kamikaze aircraft...... In this battle, we must cut off one finger, not hurt ten fingers! ”

……

"Fuwen, Zhaoming, your empress wants to hold a peace conference in Tehran and invite Hitler and Mussolini to mediate the contradictions between us and Japan, do you think we should go?" In the presidential residence in Moshan, Wuhan, President Luo Yiqun held a telegram and looked at his nephew Luo Yaoguo and Executive Premier Wang Jingwei with a smile.

This time, the Russian Empress Anastasia had already greeted Luo Yaoguo in private. This mediation was proposed by Hitler, and she, Her Majesty the Empress, did not dare to go against the will of the Führer, so she could only ask Generalissimo Luo Haihan. Moreover, the empress also informed Luo Yaoguo in a secret telegram that Hitler's mediation was actually just a formality, and he was currently busy invading the United States, so he really didn't have much mind to deal with the contradictions between China and Japan. However, the Führer has always regarded himself as the leader of the Axis alliance, and now that his two "little brothers" are about to fight, he will always come forward to make peace.

In addition, Hitler also wanted to take this opportunity to discuss with Luo Yaoguo the new world order after the demise of the United States...... The current German Führer is already very sure that the United States will shut down in six months!

"President, my subordinates think they should go to Tehran once." The first to answer was Wang Jingwei, who had already learned from Zhou Fohai about the attitude of the Japanese high-level toward the mediation. However, he still felt that he should give it a try, after all, it was good to win without a fight. He smiled and said, "President, Brother Fufu, Ambassador Zhou had another meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe this morning. The Japanese side is now offering to cede the islands of Java and the Philippine Islands. However, to keep the eastern part of Australia, we also need to lift sanctions against Japan and cancel the demilitarized zone north of the 42nd parallel...... Although this condition is still a certain distance from our requirements, the other party is making concessions after all. ”

"Concessions?" Luo Yaoguo sneered. "A war between China and Japan is inevitable! Regardless of whether Germany can defeat the United States or not, we cannot afford to keep such an old enemy by our side. I don't think the Japanese side will not understand this truth, right? What kind of trickery are they are making concessions and negotiating now! ”

Luo Yaoguo clearly remembered that before the Pearl Harbor incident in history, Japan was also negotiating with the United States on the issue of "withdrawing troops from China", but as a result, they came to the door to attack while talking! At present, these Japanese devils are cornered by the rising China, and most of them are already thinking about jumping over the wall, and this mediation or something is very likely to be used by the Japanese as a cover for their conspiracy.

"Fuwen, what do you mean...... We refuse the invitation of the Empress of Russia? Doesn't this offend Hitler, right? Wang Jingwei shook his head slightly.

Luo Yaoguo smiled and replied: "Tehran is definitely going, but the military preparations against Japan cannot be stopped, and the combat readiness level of the army cannot be lowered, and we must be ready for war against Japan at any time!" If Japan pretends to accept our terms, we will wait for them to attack first, otherwise, if they reject our conditions, then we will strike first as soon as the meeting is over! ”

Now that the Philippine Campaign Joint Command has been formed, a part of the Army has boarded the transport ship or is waiting to board the ship, and all the ammunition and supplies necessary for the landing operation have been loaded onto the ship. The navy and air force are also on the highest alert, and for the commanders of the South Sea front, all that remains is an order.

The Australian Front has now stockpiled enough supplies to sustain the defense of 650,000 troops for half a year, or for three months of offensive operations. Even if the Philippine campaign could not be won, the front would be enough to maintain the defense until the Japanese ran out of war materials.

As for the headquarters of the Beiyang Front, of which Marshal Bai Chongxi was the commander-in-chief, it was also secretly established in Shenyang. 10 Panzergrenadier divisions have been loaded and transported north, and they will all be in place in a week at most! Moreover, the 1st Panzer Army also moved to the Manzhouli region of Heilongjiang Province. The two main detachments of the Beiyang Fleet, the 10th and 11th fleets, also entered Vladivostok and Arthur fortresses respectively, and these two sea defense fortresses were naturally in a state of imminent battle!

More than 6,300 combat planes of the five major air forces of the Air Force and more than 1,500 fighters of the Naval Air Force have also been concentrated at their designated positions and are on standby. Among them, hundreds of reconnaissance planes of various types are patrolling day and night.

In addition, almost a third of the more than 200 submarines belonging to the three major fleets of the Chinese Navy have already arrived in the waters around the Japanese archipelago! At the moment of order, they will immediately engage in unrestricted submarine warfare to disrupt the sea communications of the Japanese archipelago...... If you include the American and Canadian submarines active in the Pacific region, by the time the war between China and Japan begins, there will be more than 400 submarines that will be used to blockade the Japanese archipelago!
