China's bombing of the Japanese mainland is by no means just one, in fact, from the moment the war began, the war for air supremacy between the two sides has already begun, China launched a large-scale bombing of the southern part of Korea and the coastal area of the Far East, as long as the weather permits, hundreds of bombers will fly over the border line, and indiscriminately bomb Japanese military targets, important factories, transportation hubs, and residential areas.

In addition, China's submarine formations also infested a large number of the waters near China and Japan, and the way to maintain Japan's wartime maritime lifeline was sea transportation, and the Japanese transported all the raw materials plundered from the colonies back to the mainland, and then shipped them out into weapons to support the continuation of the war.

Sea ships are like the blood vessels of Japan, and China has targeted these key points from the very beginning, and the damage caused to Japan is extremely serious.

Of course, Japan will not be honestly beaten, and their naval and air forces will also counterattack, from the Yellow Sea to the South China Sea for a time, and then extend to the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, everywhere is the battlefield of China and Japan.

At present, the war is still mainly sabotage and sabotage, and both China and Japan are preparing for a large-scale decisive battle.

In the past few months, the Americans have finally come out of the shadow of the total annihilation of the Pacific Fleet, but the huge loss of Pearl Harbor is still irreparable in a short period of time, and this is not a matter of losing three aircraft carriers, you must know that the United States still has nine aircraft carriers, and Roosevelt has mobilized seven aircraft carriers to form a new Pacific Fleet.

The problem was that there was no forward base with this fleet, and it was absolutely impossible to attack Japan from San Diego on the west coast of the United States, and the Americans had to find a suitable forward base in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean.

After some trade-offs, the Americans came up with a new plan, which was to temporarily use Australia as a base for the United States to advance. The main forces of the Navy are deployed in Australia. At the same time, the restoration of Pearl Harbor was intensified. Restore the function of Pearl Harbor. The United States made this request, and Britain naturally agreed to it, and at this time Japan had already occupied the island of New Guinea, and the next step was undoubtedly to attack Australia. It would also be a good thing for Britain to be able to station the newly formed Pacific Fleet of the United States.

Australia does not have the capacity to undertake such a large fleet, and needs to build large military ports and stock up on oil supplies. It is also necessary to establish a tight air defense system, each of which requires a lot of investment and time.

In fact, the United States has a more economical option, that is, to use China to send the main naval and air forces to China, and then attack the Japanese mainland, as long as the mainland is captured, even if Japan occupies more colonies, it is useless, and the main supporter of this plan is Marshall, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.

But the biggest opposition was President Roosevelt, and Roosevelt knew it all too well. From a military point of view, using China is the best option, but from a political point of view, it is not the best way. Too much reliance on China. After victory, how will the benefits be divided?

The main force in the European theater has become the Soviet Union, and if the dominance of the Asia-Pacific theater falls into the hands of China again, how can the US government divide up the fruits of victory after the war?

Formally with this consideration, Roosevelt insisted that the US military should cross the Pacific Ocean and attack Japan in the east and west directions with China, so that it could maintain a favorable political position.

Once the United States has made up its mind, the United States quickly mobilized to form a powerful Southwest Pacific Theater, and within two months it established a brand-new naval base in Australia, and four large aircraft carriers were officially stationed in Australia.

What makes the United States even more excited is that Japan has not obstructed the US route to Australia at all, has neither sent submarines to harass nor aircraft carriers to intercept it, and has thus allowed the United States to establish a completely new theater of operations.

Roosevelt was also quite satisfied with the high efficiency of the US military, and the situation in the Pacific theater gradually showed signs of reversing, especially after China sank the Japanese aircraft carrier Soryu, the Japanese fleet lost its superiority in both quantity and quality, so Roosevelt judged that it would not be difficult to solve this island nation.

What the United States needed to do was to coordinate the relations between the various belligerent countries as soon as possible, and then establish the leadership of the United States, and lay the foundation for the division of post-war interests, and Roosevelt knew very well that it was China that could challenge the dominance of the United States.

Britain is in a precarious situation, without the assistance of the United States, it will be finished at any time, the Soviet Union is in a bloody war, and the situation is not optimistic, both countries have turned to the United States, as for China, not only does not need to turn to the United States, on the contrary, the United States has to rely on China to share the pressure on Japan.

If China were to stand up and snatch the banner of the Allies at this time, it would not be a good thing for the United States, and Roosevelt had no choice but to test China's attitude first, and he proposed to China that all anti-fascist countries should unite and sign a programmatic document to guide the entire war.

Roosevelt's telegram arrived in Beijing, and Qiao Yu immediately guessed the plan of Roosevelt, the old fox, because the Americans wanted to dominate the course of the war, and they were worried that China would obstruct it, so they thought of testing their attitude.

"President, the Americans' calculations are clanging, Germany's main forces are being held back by the Soviet Union, and more than seventy percent of Japan's troops are also pressed on China, and the United States is not the main force in both theaters, but they want to dominate the war, which seems to be a bit excessive!"

Qiao Yu nodded: "Brother Baili is right, but the ultimate difference between countries depends on the strength of the United States, the industrial strength of the United States is proud of the world, which is also the reason why Roosevelt is full of confidence, I think there is no need for China to compete with the Americans for anything, we just need to restore our sphere of influence, and then calm down and completely complete industrialization." Sooner or later, the status of the world's largest industrial country will fall to China, and there is no point in competing for the so-called global leader now, we have to take a long-term view! ”

Another important reason why Qiao Yu is reluctant to compete with the United States is that the protagonist of this war is still white, most of the countries participating in the war are white, China has a huge difference from them, and there are still big obstacles to leading the group, and it is enough for China to get the hegemony of the Asia-Pacific region.

Therefore, Qiao Yu immediately found Foreign Minister Gu Weijun and asked him to go to Washington on his behalf to hold talks with representatives of various countries, and the meeting place was chosen in Washington, which is undoubtedly the greatest respect for the United States, and for security reasons, Gu Weijun's special plane first flew to Tehran, the capital of Iran, and then arrived in the United States via Africa.

Roosevelt was very happy that the Chinese delegation was able to come, and he gave Gu Weijun and his entourage the highest courtesy, and Roosevelt personally greeted him at the airport.

"The fact that China's allies have just won a major victory in the war against Japan is a great encouragement to the international just cause, and I sincerely hope that China can achieve even more brilliant results."

"Mr. President, China's attitude is consistent, any country that provokes a war must be severely punished, and they must pay tenfold, or even a hundredfold, only in this way can the world be alerted and let them know that aggression is wrong!"

Gu Weijun's words are very angry with the Americans, they already hate Japan, this time the Japanese air raid on Pearl Harbor caused tens of thousands of casualties, the former tourist resort, leisure paradise was almost burned by the fire, countless American citizens lives were ruthlessly devoured by the fire.

The miserable scene was photographed, and any American who saw the afterimage was completely enraged, they wanted to destroy Japan completely, and any soothing voice was worthless, and the Americans had to take a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.

After the brief but warm welcoming ceremony, Gu Weijun entered the state of work, held talks with representatives of various countries, and agreed on a strategy for joint operations, which involved two main contents of China, one was assistance to the Soviet Union, and the other was the issue of Sino-US joint operations in the Pacific.

The Soviet Union was the main battlefield against Germany, and the pressure was very great, because the Soviet Union paid attention to the problem of tank warfare and was well aware of the power of the blitzkrieg, so the Soviet Union did not suffer heavy losses on the border line as in history, and the Soviets adopted the strategy of defense in depth and gradually weakened the German army.

However, the Soviets still underestimated the sharpness of the German military machine, and their continuous defeat and loss of more than 2.7 million troops, at a time when the German heavy army group was storming Moscow, if the Soviet Union lost its political center, it might cause a serious rout, the situation is simply unimaginable.

Fortunately, China also formally declared war on Germany before this, and the Soviet Union could confidently and boldly transfer all the main forces in the Far East to the European direction, and China provided the Soviet Union with 2,000 tanks, 1,500 combat aircraft, 1,000 heavy artillery, 5,000 mortars, and a large number of shells, bullets, bombs, mines, and other materials.

Thirty percent of these weapons are new, the rest are stockpiled second-hand, and China's soon-to-be-eliminated garbage has once again played an important role on the battlefields of the Soviet Union.

The United States also provided the Soviet Union with a huge amount of supplies, and now China, the United States, and the Soviet Union are about to reach an aid agreement, the scope of which is not limited to arms and materials, but also includes trucks, jeeps, grain, oil, fuel, and so on.

In addition, the Soviet Union also put forward a whimsical idea, that is, to lease China's human resources, China has a population of more than 500 million, there is a large surplus labor force, the Soviet Union hopes that China can provide some workers to join the Soviet factory, in addition to China's northeast, northwest and other places to set up factories specializing in the production of Soviet-made weapons, the Soviet Union provides technical standards and management personnel, China is responsible for production personnel, plants, raw materials and production lines.

The United States was also very interested in this proposal, because Germany's momentum was too strong, and the United States was really afraid that the Soviet Union would not be able to bear it, so Roosevelt also said that the United States could provide financial assistance for this plan to lend human resources.

There were no longer a few countries attending the meeting, but the busiest were the representatives of China, the United States, and the Soviet Union, who discussed cooperation plans and operational strategies, and other countries could only watch from the sidelines, including British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who had traveled thousands of miles to the meeting, and he was also excluded from the inner circle.
