Japan, known as Yingzhou in ancient times, has a thousand-year-old cultural heritage, and can barely be regarded as an ancient civilization. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but what really makes it stand out is its unique location. The Nippon Islands are the most important island chain in Northeast Asia facing the Pacific Ocean.

To the north, the Japanese islands form a chain of islands with the Kuril Islands, the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands, which lock the northern part of the Asian continent like a chain. And in the south of Japan, stretching the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan. Bay Island, Luzon Islands, and the islands of the South Seas. It became a southern island chain that unites the Asian continent. This shows how important Japan's geographical location was to the Asian continent's powerful countries in entering and exiting the Pacific Ocean.

For many years before, Japan was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire island chain around Asia was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Daming didn't think Japan was very important. Because Da Ming's eyes are all over the world, he has never cared too much about the little brother in front of him. It wasn't until the Japanese turned their faces that Daming felt the pain of his skin.

The Japanese mutiny made it very difficult for the Ming to go out of the Pacific Ocean. The connection with Hawaii, an important support point, can only be carried out through distant Australia.

The South Seas, Australia, and the core areas of the mainland, which were originally regarded as the back garden, were all exposed to the eyes of the enemy overnight. The core area, which had not been exposed to the baptism of war for many years, sounded the alarm and carried out wartime control. Regardless of the final result, this has dealt a certain blow to the morale of the Ming Dynasty's military morale.

In addition, the enemy who was so close contained a lot of Ming's strength, so that Ming's strategic plan had to be postponed or adjusted because of this enemy. Gives distant enemies plenty of time to make them stronger.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty must destroy the extremely annoying Japan first. Only after dealing with Japan can the Ming Dynasty truly ensure the safety of its core area, and then free up its hands to deal with distant enemies with peace of mind.

At the end of September 1940, the Ming air raids on Japan intensified. In just a few days, the only remaining anti-aircraft fighters of the Japanese homeland air defense forces suffered heavy losses. The U.S. air force for Japan was almost disabled, and the number of air defense fighters over Japan was sharply reduced.

At the same time, in addition to the strategic bomber units of the Army Aviation, which constantly bombed various urban industrial areas in Japan. The ordinary bomber units of the Daming Navy and Army also stepped up their attendance and fiercely attacked military targets in various parts of Japan.

The Japanese are not stupid, and they can also detect through the continuous movements of the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Dynasty is about to launch a large-scale landing operation on the Japanese mainland.

On the one hand, the Japanese desperately asked the United States for help, and on the other hand, they began to carry out large-scale mobilization on the mainland, intending to prevent the landing operation of the Ming Dynasty. They shouted the slogan of 80 million people to defend their homeland, and began to formulate a kamikaze battle plan aimed at resisting the Ming attack.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Continental Empire launched two landing operations against Japan. However, in the end, they all failed due to a typhoon. The Japanese called their battle plan a kamikaze, in order to try to escape death again with the help of good luck in history.

"How's the operation going over there?" In the Supreme Command of the Ming Imperial Capital, Zhang Cheng asked Wang Yan softly about the progress of Wang Yan's operations in the United States.

"Most of the targets have already been achieved." Wang Yan replied respectfully: "There are only some important targets that have not been able to succeed because of their strong defensive forces. However, our agents managed to sabotage their centrifuge line, and it will take at least half a year to resume production again and reach the required quantities. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he commanded in a deep voice, "This matter must be taken seriously." The plans of the Americans must not be allowed to succeed, at least not until the end of the war. Those important scientists have to be disposed of. No matter what the cost. As for those important instruments and raw materials, they should also be destroyed as much as possible. ”

Wang Yan's expression froze, and he nodded in response, "I know." "Forcing an attack would mean massive losses for those important spy agents and the destruction of intelligence networks. These are all things that require a lot of investment and time to operate. However, Zhang Cheng's order cannot be disobeyed.

"I know it's going to be a big loss." Zhang Cheng understood Wang Yan's hesitation and explained softly, "But this matter must be done." Once the Americans have successfully completed the Manhattan Project, we will not be able to win the war perfectly. For the sake of ultimate victory, sacrifices in any situation are acceptable. The reason why I had to risk huge casualties to advance the landing operation against Japan was also because I had wasted too much time on the Japanese, and I needed to free up my hands as soon as possible to knock the Americans down. ”

Zhang Cheng, who comes from modern time and space, naturally understands the terminal power of nuclear weapons. He had already invested heavily in the research and development of nuclear weapons, but it was unlikely that there would have been progress so quickly, otherwise it would have been used in the heads of the Japanese.

At the same time, Zhang Cheng could not bear the fact that such a destructive weapon was in the hands of other countries, and sabotage the Manhattan Project of the Americans became a top priority.

"What's going on with the Japanese?" After asking about the Manhattan Project, Zhang Cheng asked out loud, "How strong is their will to resist?" ”

"There is a division." Wang Yan smiled and said, "Although the mouth is fierce, many powerful people in Japan have begun to prepare to flee to the United States. They are all busy transferring assets now, and there are very few who really want to stay and fight to the end. The Japanese emperor is now very hesitant, he wants to abdicate in exchange for the continuation of Japan, but the vast majority of the Japanese elite will not allow it. ”

"Of course not." Zhang Cheng sneered and said, "If they really surrender, then they will have nothing." And many will face court-martials. How could they possibly agree if they weren't crazy? ”

"If you fight on the ground, the casualties will be very large." Wang Yan said with some hesitation, "Domestic public opinion ......"

"As long as victory can be achieved, any casualties are acceptable." Zhang Cheng waved his hand and interrupted Wang Yan's words: "We must win." Because the next war will definitely not be the current mode of security. ”

Zhang Cheng knew very well in his heart that once the era of nuclear weapons was opened, the war would never be the same as it is now. When the world is facing destruction, a large-scale war of destruction cannot be fought.

Before the era of nuclear weapons arrives, Zhang Cheng must crush his opponents as much as possible and lay a solid foundation for a new era in the future. The casualties of the present are all for the hegemony of the next hundred years!

The Japanese have done everything they can for the Ming Dynasty's recent series of frequent military moves. They mobilized a large number of militia forces, distributed old-fashioned weapons and even knives to equip them, and tried to counter the landing operations of the Ming Dynasty through numbers. At the same time, the Japanese began to gather and assemble various aircraft in preparation for a kamikaze battle plan.

While the young people of Japan were shouting slogans to defend Japan and entering the barracks, the top leaders of Japan were quietly fleeing the American continent one after another. They took a lot of capital with them, from bonds and stocks to forex gold. Japan's foundation has been completely emptied.

Anyone can go, but the emperor can't. As the supreme ruler of a country, the emperor cannot leave his country under any circumstances.

The Oriental peoples are not interested in going into exile to establish a government-in-exile, and they prefer to live and die with the state. Oriental peoples attach great importance to reputation, and many times they are unwilling to leave themselves a smeared reputation even if they choose to die.

At this time, Japan had no ability to continue fighting because of the non-stop bombing of the Ming Dynasty that lasted for many days. They had nothing left but people. Many of the massively organized militia forces did not even have old-fashioned rifles, and fought with all their blood. Fighting in such a situation is basically equivalent to suicide.

The Japanese, who were devastated by the Ming bombers, were forced by reality to explode into a small universe, and they developed five types of 150mm super anti-aircraft guns in a very short time. This new gun is powerful and equipped with an automatic loader and radar guidance. With its high rate of fire and high accuracy, it was the most powerful super long-range anti-aircraft gun among the belligerents at this time. This was used by the Japanese specifically against the Daming strategic bombers.

This super anti-aircraft gun has just been put into service and has shown its might in the Tokyo air defense operation, shooting down more than ten Ming strategic bombers in the first battle! It's a pity that this super anti-aircraft gun, which could turn the course of the war, appeared too late. Most of Japan's worthwhile targets have been destroyed, and there are not many of them that they can protect, namely the Imperial Palace and some important buildings near Tokyo.

The most important point was that the production of this anti-aircraft gun was too small. Japan is no longer able to produce such weapons on a large scale, so it can only hand over these technical materials to the United States.

By the beginning of October, the Ming bombing of Japan had reached a fever pitch. The entire Kyushu was scorched, and the sky was full of Ming fighters flying in the sky. In addition to bombers, there are also a large number of fighter jets that hunt in the air. Any Japanese fighter that dares to take to the skies will face encirclement and annihilation. The Japanese fortifications in various important parts of the island were almost completely destroyed, and they could only sit and wait for the Ming to attack.

The Ming Dynasty was in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and assembled an extremely large landing force on Jeju Island. From battleships to aircraft carriers, from cruisers to destroyers. From a transport ship to a landing craft. There are thousands of warships of all kinds! And more than 10,000 aircraft of all kinds were providing support for the landing combat force!

The million-strong army drawn from all directions is ready for the final preparations! (To be continued.) )
