Although the meeting between the heads of state of China and the Soviet Union was hidden, it was difficult to be completely unaware, not to mention that as allies, China and the Soviet Union had the obligation to provide the United States and Britain and other allies with the content of the talks, of course, this content was only what the two countries wanted the United States and Britain to know, and it was impossible for the United States and Britain to know about the real secret deal.

However, the intelligence personnel of all countries are not vegetarians, and judging from the actions of China and the Soviet Union, this brief meeting of the heads of state still achieved a lot of important results, China increased the export of materials to the Soviet Union, and at the same time, the navy, land and air forces also moved frequently, and it was obvious that a big war was just around the corner.

And the Soviet Union was even more so, with the strong support of China, Stalin had a great grasp of the next war, a large number of newly armed troops were sent to the Stalingrad front in a steady stream, many of these troops were Chinese-equipped divisions, and most of the members of these Chinese-equipped troops were recruited from the Far East, they were all yellow.

After these troops appeared on the front line, the Germans panicked, and they even thought that China had sent troops to fight on the side of the Soviet Union, which was something that Hitler had always feared, the Soviet Union's human resources were already very amazing, and compared to the Soviet Union, China could become endless, and Hitler even felt hopeless at the thought of countless Chinese armed to the teeth from Eastern Europe.

That's probably what the Yellow Peril says. Fortunately, the Germans later figured out that these yellow people were just residents of the Russian Far East, and not Chinese troops at all. Although it was a false alarm, Germany was still vigilant enough that the fighting must be ended quickly, otherwise China might indeed send troops to the Soviet-German battlefield, and then Germany's situation would be really dangerous.

Hitler attacked Stalingrad with all his might, and Stalin commanded the Soviet military and civilians at all costs. Resist to the death. The two sides are completely a contest of steel and will. There's nothing fancy about it.

From the outset, the war was unprecedentedly brutal and stalemate, with the Germans paying a heavy price for every step forward, especially after entering the city. The distance of the advance is even measured in meters, and a street, a building often changes hands back and forth a dozen times.

And the USSR was supported by Chinese crude oil, especially high-octane aviation gasoline. The Soviet Air Force was rejuvenated all at once, the Soviet Union increased the power of the Air Force, and the excellent pilots of the Soviet Union and Germany were constantly depleted.

China's oil is far less abundant than that of the United States, and it has to support the needs of the navy and air force, and the cost is also very huge, but China has prepared for war several years in advance, built a large number of oil storage warehouses, and has a strong strategic reserve capacity, and now it is finally fully functioning.

Although the United States has a strong oil industry, Pearl Harbor suffered heavy losses. As a result, the United States had to spend a lot of fuel on the Pacific theater, and the Soviet Union was very limited in what it could do. Now that China has provided the Soviet Union with sufficient fuel, the power of the red chariot has increased a lot.

In particular, China provided the Soviet Union with a large number of trucks and maintenance equipment, so that the armored forces could give full play to their speed advantage and quickly repair the tanks, which greatly improved the efficiency of the war.

The life-and-death struggle between the Soviet Union and Germany on the Eastern Front was indistinguishable for a while, while Australia's situation was in an unprecedented crisis.

Australia occupies a continent alone, the geographical location is unique, as a traditional British colony, before World War II, Australia was firmly following the United Kingdom, even if the British Empire became the British Commonwealth, Britain's control has been seriously reduced, Australia is still very loyal to the United Kingdom.

At the beginning of World War II, Australia did not hesitate to send its elite forces to the British Isles to help Britain defend its homeland, but with Japan's entry into the war, the U.S. Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses, and all the islands in the South Seas fell into the hands of Japan, and Australia's situation was unprecedentedly dangerous.

At this time, Australia's head of state is the new Prime Minister Curtin, in the face of an unprecedentedly grim situation, Curtin announced a change in Australia's policy as soon as he took office, Curtin is very clear that Australia, with a population of only 7 million, cannot resist either side at all, and has no ability to maintain neutrality.

Therefore, Australia must completely fall into a strong country in order to use the power of the other side to protect itself, there is no doubt that Britain no longer has this ability, no matter how close to this old suzerainty in the hearts of Australians, Britain is too busy to take care of itself, and can not help at all.

The United States is the only one who can cover Australia, especially MacArthur ran to Australia, and was regarded as a patron saint by Australia, and the United States immediately transferred the main aircraft carrier to Australia and established the Southwest Pacific Theater, which made the Australians feel a lot more relieved.

Tied to the United States, there was a guarantee of security, and Australia transferred its troops back from England to the mainland despite British opposition.

However, at this time, Japan had already conquered Port Moresby, which is an important port in the eastern part of the island of New Guinea, which had been controlled by Australia, and Japan used three aircraft carriers to capture it, and bombed Port Moresby indiscriminately, destroying all port facilities.

After the Japanese army occupied here, it was not only able to attack Australia in the south, but also to cut off the maritime lifeline between the United States and Australia, and completely isolate Australia.

Isoroku Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was well aware of Japan's dangerous situation at this time, and although the United States suffered heavy losses at Pearl Harbor, the United States, which had a strong foundation, was not defeated, but on the contrary, it threw itself into World War II with all its might.

The victory at Pearl Harbor brought Yamamoto Isoroku to the pinnacle of his life, and he was regarded as the patron saint of Japan and a symbol of victory, but Yamamoto Isoroku did not have much joy, he knew what kind of giant Japan had awakened, so he urgently advocated that Japan should take advantage of the victory as soon as possible, completely wipe out the US Navy, and then turn around to deal with China.

In fact, Yamamoto Isoroku was very disgusted with the battle on the Korean Peninsula, and in his opinion, it was the most stupid thing to fight with China in the absence of naval and air superiority and sufficient strategic depth, and it was impossible to win at all, and he could only waste his life in vain.

The key to Japan's victory lies in the sea, and only by firmly controlling the sea can it win a real victory. According to his theory of naval supremacy, Yamamoto Isoroku proposed his combat strategy to the Japanese base camp, that is, to capture Port Moresby and the Solomon Islands as soon as possible and cut off the connection between the United States and Australia. Then Japan will land in Australia, completely occupy this isolated continent, and use Australia as a strategic rear, whether it is to resist the United States or to deal with China, Japan will be at ease.

The dispute between the Japanese navy and the army was also very serious, and both armies tried to fight for their own interests as much as possible, but the disastrous defeat in South Korea dealt another blow to the Japanese army, and Yamamoto's proposal was finally adopted.

When Yamamoto 56 went on the expedition, Emperor Hirohito personally summoned him, Hirohito was very polite to this great hero who destroyed Pearl Harbor, and personally greeted him with warmth, especially Hirohito knew that Yamamoto 56 had been fighting at sea all year round and suffered from serious stomach problems, and specially sent the imperial doctor to examine his body.

Hirohito's courtesy naturally justified, and he urgently needed Yamamoto Isoroku to create another miracle of Pearl Harbor. Japan already knew that Qiao Yu and Stalin met, what agreement was reached between the two heads of state, although Hirohito did not know, but China's next army movements are becoming more and more frequent, and the transportation of materials is also increasing.

Japan could not help but be worried, so Hirohito especially hoped that Yamamoto Isoroku would be able to quickly eliminate the American influence in Australia, and then Japan would be able to concentrate its naval and air forces against China as planned.

Yamamoto Isoroku was also sincerely afraid of the emperor's love, and repeatedly assured Hirohito that he would be able to achieve victory, expand the territory of the empire, and establish eternal meritorious deeds.

Yamamoto Isoroku personally led the Shinano, Zuizuru and Shozuru three aircraft carriers as the core of the fleet, towards the Solomon Islands, the Shinano aircraft carrier is the largest aircraft carrier built by Japan before the war, adhering to the Japanese has always been one-sided pursuit of large ships, the pursuit of attack capability of the temperament, Shinano displacement of more than 60,000 tons, can carry carrier-based aircraft up to 130, under the limit conditions can carry 150.

Such a supercarrier is enough to compare with two other aircraft carriers, after the completion of the Shinano, it was regarded as the biggest secret weapon of the Japanese Navy, but also the pride of the Japanese Navy, this time Yamamoto 56 used the Shinano, it can be said that it is a must-win.

The work of the Japanese Navy was soon learned by the Americans, and the United States also sent three large aircraft carriers to fight, namely the Hornet, Yorktown, and the Wasp.

The navies of the United States and Japan met in the waters of the Coral Sea, and the first aircraft carrier contest between the United States and Japan in the real sense finally began, and each side sent three aircraft carriers, the advantage of the United States lies in intelligence, and Japan's advantage is in combat effectiveness, the Shinano far surpasses other aircraft carriers of the same era, and the Japanese pilots are also better than the United States.

The aircraft carrier formations of the two countries discovered each other almost simultaneously, and the carrier-based planes fought to the death, and the planes were like dumplings. Constantly falling into the sea, a battle ended, the American Wasp was sunk, and the Yorktown was heavily damaged.

Japan also paid for the aircraft carrier Zuizuru, but the sea supremacy has begun to tilt in favor of Japan, Australia is in an unprecedented crisis, and the Americans' hearts are like a big stone. (To be continued.) )
