Chapter 403: Total Annihilation of the Japanese Army (1): Japan-US Defense Resolution
After the signing of the Second Sino-German Hanjing Agreement, the world situation has undergone major changes, and the allied countries, in particular, have felt an unprecedented pressure.
US President Harry S. Truman, whose political prestige was far inferior to that of the previous President Roosevelt, had not yet completely sorted out a series of problems at home as a result of his full-scale entry into the war, and he perceived a major change in the situation of World War II.
"Mr. President, General Eisenhower is here."
From time to time, the Supreme Allied Commander, the commander of the wartime military forces of the United States, five-star General Dwight D. Eisenhower walked into Truman's White House office.
"My general, I must inform you of the very bad news, according to the latest intelligence just obtained by the intelligence services, the Chinese and the Germans have reached the latest war agreement, and judging from the intelligence obtained by our agents in Germany, the content of the agreement includes at least attacking the Indian and Ukrainian regions."
Truman said in a solemn tone, the seriousness of the problem can be seen even if the military knowledge is only scratching the surface, and when his intelligence adviser analyzed him just now, the intelligence adviser only drew two lines on the map to mark the seriousness of the problem.
"Your Excellency, this, this is really shocking bad news."
Admiral Dwight D. Eisenhower took the intelligence document handed over by the president's secretary and looked through it roughly, and his face became difficult to look at.
Truman: "According to the secret agreement between China and Germany, our India, Afghanistan, and even the Soviet Union will probably fall into the hands of the Axis powers within the next year." Moreover, our lurking ace agents have even received some kind of intelligence, and China and Germany may have reached an agreement to completely carve up the Soviet Union and even more regions. ”
"Are they already negotiating in advance for the post-World War II partition feast?"
Eisenhower quickly realized the problem and wondered.
"It's possible." Truman got up and walked to the map, looked at the map of China, and sighed, "The southernmost territory of the Chinese has reached the whole territory of Australia, the northernmost is about to seize the coast of the Arctic Ocean, the easternmost will be the Bering Strait, and the westernmost will reach Central Asia." ”
He turned around, stared at Eisenhower, and said in an unusually serious tone, "My general, is this the enemy that we America cannot defeat?" Throughout the history of civilization on the entire earth, there has never been such a powerful empire, and what is even more frightening is that they are different from the Germans, they have a huge population, huge war potential, the world's first military strength, almost two American economic strength, scientific and technological strength is Jiang We are far behind.
Yes, it is the economic strength of the two United States, a serious economic statistics report in 1946 shows that the economic strength of the Chinese is already twice that of ours, the industrial production capacity is 2.5 times, and the scientific and technological strength is even more unable to weigh the gap.
Here's a copy of the top-secret information. ”
He then handed Eisenhower a second document marked top secret and told the secretary to leave.
Eisenhower saw that it was actually intelligence about the Chinese's development of missile technology and nuclear weapons technology. As a five-star general, he was able to participate in national decision-making, and he naturally knew these things, but President Truman was so solemn that he was a little surprised.
Eisenhower's brow furrowed more and more as he opened the document and continued to look down, and finally slowly put down the document, lit a cigarette and smoked it.
"Since the discovery and confirmation of the enormous power of atomic energy, we were one of the first countries to carry out nuclear weapons research, and our Manhattan has mobilized enormous human and material resources to create this theoretically powerful bomb." Truman tapped the document and said, "From the intelligence point of view, the Chinese set up a nuclear program earlier than us, and have conducted at least many live-fire nuclear tests, and although it is difficult for our intelligence officers to infiltrate their western desert, they know from some other sources that huge mushroom clouds have been seen over the desert in northwest China." ”
"The Chinese destroyed our nuclear program at great cost and slowed it down for at least a decade. Otherwise, our nuclear weapons may well have been developed. Eisenhower said with depression that the US political axe is well aware of the power of nuclear weapons, and the strategic projects that it wants to engage in at the expense of billions of dollars have finally been destroyed by the Chinese at any cost, and some important scientists have been kidnapped and assassinated, which has greatly affected the progress of nuclear weapons development.
"To this day, they have not given up on sabotaging our nuclear program, two days ago a heavy water plant was blown up, claiming that it was a boiler explosion, but it was actually sabotage carried out by Chinese agents.
Now there are three countries in the world developing nuclear programs, China, the United States and Germany, the nuclear weapons of the Chinese are already ready for actual combat, the Germans will test their nuclear weapons in three years at the latest, and the bombing campaign we discussed last time seems to need to be advanced. Truman was referring to a recent high-level secret research resolution in the United States, whereby the Germans' nuclear weapons research program had gone ahead of the United States based on the intelligence provided by a 'very good undercover agent', and Hitler himself was clamoring internally to retaliate against the Allies with a powerful weapon in the future.
The agent provided not only intelligence, but also the location of factories for the German nuclear weapons program, and the secret locations of some important scientists' research centers, including those of nuclear weapons research centers. He received $500,000 in intelligence money from the U.S. political axe.
Correspondingly, Washington soon decided to use strategic long-range bombers to bomb the Germans' nuclear weapons factories and research centers while the European landings bombed Germany.
"Although the Chinese's missiles are more advanced than the Germans, looking at the surrounding countries of the Chinese, there is no one who can be their enemy's opponent. They should not spend huge financial resources to use such missiles. However, the report says that the Chinese's missiles have reached an astonishing range, and I have doubts about this. ”
Eisenhower's judgment was based on the Germans' extravagant missiles that could reach London, England, and the missiles that now have a range of 150 kilometers in the United States. They generally have a point, which is expensive to build, but the actual use effect is not good. For example, the United States, there is no enemy for thousands of kilometers around, who will it be launched to? If they were to be moved to Alaska and waited for them to cross the Northern Strait, it would be too clumsy and inconvenient to transport.
"Well, I also find it hard to believe that there will be a huge development of missiles for the Chinese, and my scientific adviser told me that it is difficult to have an effective missile with a range of 500 kilometers in the next ten years." In addition to flying far, they must also be accurate, and at the same time, they must consider power, and scientists believe that we do not need to worry about it at the moment.
As for nuclear bombs, if the Chinese have them, they can be airdropped by airplanes. Truman concluded.
The threat of a nuclear bomb is deadly, although no country in the world has yet used this weapon, but countless scientific experiments have proven its terrible, as for missiles, like the Germans, countless V1 and V2 missiles were launched into London, and then exploded within a hundred meters, perhaps killing some people, but not changing the course of the war. The Chinese may be more technologically advanced, but Truman never believed that their missiles could hit the United States. As for transporting missiles to Central Asia and hitting Europe, it is even more absurd, too difficult, and less effective if the number is small. So he believes that the most threatening thing is nuclear weapons.
The two discussed for a while, and Eisenhower made his own proposal, "We must now strengthen our support for Libhon, and if Libon falls, it will be difficult for the Allied system to cope with any new situation." Once the Chinese intensify their coordinated offensive against Europe, we are likely to suffer defeat in the war.
Therefore, I suggest that Mr. President authorize the Eighth Air Force and the Ninth Air Force to garrison Yueben, and we must do our utmost to prevent the Chinese from landing in Yueben.
In addition, Plan A, which opens up a second theater of war in Europe, must be intensified, mobilize more troops, and more aircraft and aircraft carrier fleets to ensure the success of the operation. ”
This was the best way Eisenhower could think of, to help defend and defend the capital, and at the same time launch a fierce attack on the German Nazi legions in Europe, in a sense, to avoid the powerful middle [***] regiment, and concentrate the forces of the Allies to solve the German bloc.
Just as China is concentrating its forces to solve the problem of the Chinese themselves, the Americans are doing the same.
"Perhaps this is the only way to salvage some of the situation. Although we in the United States are far from the continents, if we suffer defeat in World War II, we will probably not be able to compete with the Germans in Europe and Chinese Asia, even if we can occupy the ...... of the Americas in the future."
Truman couldn't help but think of the adviser's suggestion to him that if the situation turned out to be the worst, the defeat of World War II, the Germans dominating Europe, and the Chinese's sphere of influence across Europe and Asia, the United States would probably have to choose to take further action in the Americas.
"I'm going to be very happy. In fact, their representative of the Emperor has lobbied our Diet countless times for our increased support. ”
Eisenhower ended the conversation in a joking tone.
Soon, a few days later, the news of the United States' decision to intensify its support for the United States was transmitted back to the United States, and the US Congress even passed a special "Resolution on Coordinated Defense of the United States," and the entire United States immediately boiled.
The whole body immediately cheered, saying that Ben had finally been saved, and that more than one million Yue troops had been heavily surrounded in the Far East for several months, and they could not retreat back to this day, which was the greatest shame for Yue himself.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, this is a great event!! The Americans finally passed the resolution on coordinated defense between the United States and the United States, retained all the members of the Eighth and Ninth Air Forces, which had been planned to be transferred, and ordered some of the main forces of the New Pacific Fleet to participate in the rescue of our trapped troops, which was really a turning point in the fate of the empire. ”
In the Emperor's underground secret palace, a group of high-ranking military and political officials gathered together, including Hideki Tojo, Ishihara Wanji, Seishiro Itagaki, Isoroku Yamamoto, Masao Hiromoto, and other principal leaders of the military department, the army, navy, and even the air force, and everyone was full of smiles and excitement.
The United States has been reluctant to raise its military aid and support to China to the level of Britain, and he believes that this is the biggest reason why he has been unable to contend with China.
In a jubilant atmosphere, the dignitaries of the newspaper made enthusiastic speeches one after another, as if the Americans had raised their support to China to the same level as the British.
In fact, China's land offensive has already reached Pyongyang, and in the Far East, the encirclement has been reduced to a circle with a diameter of more than 80 kilometers.
For a long time, the emperor, who had already been happy, only felt that he was in a better mood than ever, and he had not felt so happy since Tokyo was bombed and burned by the air raids, "Lords, now that the Americans' two major air fleets have all arrived in Yuben, on the one hand, we need to strengthen air battles with the Chinese in the Yellow Sea and the Yuben Sea, and over Korea, and we must show unprecedented courage to fight to the death with the Chinese in the skies over Wannino in the Far East."
Our warriors were waiting for us to come to the rescue, it was the cowardice and incompetence of the Soviets who had put them in a dangerous situation, and now, with the greatest support of the Americans, we would rescue them back, and we would stage a victorious strategic retreat that would have completely different results from the great Dunkirk retreat. ”
Tojo Hideki couldn't help but think of the secret conversation with the emperor earlier, and the emperor's request was also to save these soldiers at any cost, and the plan that satisfied the bigwigs of all parties was very cruel. Yes, even Hideki Tojo thinks this plan is full of cruelty. But for the sake of the long-term national fortune of the country, in the current situation, he knows that no matter how cruel this filing plan is, it must be implemented.
Thinking of this, Hideki Tojo bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, the Empire will do whatever it takes to rescue our bravest samurai. ”
As a result, a very large evacuation plan, which was even several times greater than the Dunkirk retreat, began to be planned at an accelerated pace, and the two major US air units that arrived in Yueben, as well as some of the main forces of the US New Pacific Fleet, which were about to arrive, had already delivered more military aid and materials to Yueben soon, and all of them gave Yue himself unprecedented confidence.
What I didn't know was that while they were stepping up to formulate a very cruel retreat plan, China was also intensively formulating a plan to finally annihilate the Yue army.
...... "Chairman, I have just received information that the Americans have passed a resolution on coordinated defense between the United States and the United States, and Washington has decided to help defend the defense at all costs, and has decided to help the Americans in the Far East to withdraw their troops. ”
Su Yuren, the head of operations, solemnly handed over a copy of the latest information to Zhang Shusheng.
Zhang Shusheng just looked at it after taking it, and then said to Mao Yunxian, "Yunxian, you go and inform Director Luo Feng of the Special Intelligence Department, Chief of General Staff Jiang Baili will come over, and we will hold a small meeting in twenty minutes." ”
At this time, there was still a piece of information in his drawer that had been sent back by the sleeper agent, a few days ago, about the retreat plan that he was discussing and revising.
