822 Heroes Conference Seven You Rush! I cover ......

A big hand full of fat knocked on the map at that location in the United States. Then he pressed it hard there. It's a long, beautifully printed millionths map of North America, with a black cross on a red background, and it looks like it's in original German.

"Can your country launch an attack on the continental United States or the Panama Canal in the first quarter of 1939? Even if it's just a medium-sized offense. ”

The question was asked by Marshal Goering, a super-fat man who had just flown from Berlin to Shanghai on a plane for more than ten hours. Although it had been a long flight, the Luftwaffe commander-in-chief, Minister of War, seemed to be in good spirits. As soon as he got off the plane, he asked Luo Yaoguo to arrange for him to meet with Japanese War Minister Nagata Tetsuyama to negotiate Japan's formal accession to the "Iron and Steel Alliance."

The tripartite negotiations took place in a small conference room in the French Club. The Chinese side was represented by Luo Yaoguo, Chief of the General Staff, and Zhang Yiming, Chief of Naval Operations; The representative of Germany is the super dead fat Hermann. Goering, Chief of the Army General Staff Keitel; On the Japanese side, it was the Minister of War Nagata Tetsuyama and the Vice-Minister of the Navy Command Department Onishi Takijiro. The leaders of the six fascists, plus an equal number of attachés, sat around a long table covered with green tweed tablecloths. A map of the Americas was spread out on the table, and it seemed that the focus of today's negotiations was on the United States.

Hearing Goering's question, the representative of the Japanese Navy, Onishi Takijiro, chuckled in his heart. He glanced at Nagata Tetsuyama beside him, took a deep breath, and did not speak. Nagata Tieshan still didn't look like he was happy or angry, but he was also shocked in his heart. Because in the previous trial between the two sides, Nagata once put forward the demand that China, Germany and Japan jointly fight against the United States, but Luo Yaoguo and Goering vetoed it in unison.

And now, Goering has made a proposal for Japan to attack the American mainland alone! Obviously, the Germans also have the intention of using Japan as cannon fodder to contain the United States...... It is estimated that in April and May 1939, Germany should launch an offensive on the Western Front! Until then, they need Japan to attract the attention of the United States, so that the United States does not come to the aid of Britain and France at a critical moment.

"This ...... Before March 1939, there were indeed considerable difficulties. "Nagata Tetsuyama had studied in Germany and could speak German fluently, so he didn't use a translator and directly communicated with Goering in German.

He furrowed his brows tightly, and the corners of his mouth drooped downward, looking embarrassed. "Your Excellency, Marshal. To tell you the truth, Japan has already exhausted everything for this Hawaiian campaign, mobilizing almost all of its navy and 30 percent of Japan's maritime capacity to transport a mere 150,000 offensive troops to the Hawaiian Islands. If you want to attack the continental United States...... That's not what 150,000 or 200,000 people can do. And even if Japan were to sacrifice these 150,000 men to fight with Germany, it would not be possible at the moment. ”

When he heard the words that Japan was going to sacrifice 150,000 people, Goering's fat face showed a hint of surprise, but then he heard that it was not possible, and the fat man's face suddenly became gloomy again. "Why is it not possible? If your country has any difficulties that you can raise, we and the Chinese side will certainly find ways to solve them for your country. ”

After speaking, the dead fat man turned his head to look at Luo Yaoguo. Luo Yaoguo didn't care about Goering's good ideas, but nodded slightly: "Yes, if Japan has any difficulties, as long as you can launch an attack on the US mainland or the Panama Canal before March 1939, we will definitely go all out to assist your country!" ”

Well, the meaning of this sentence seems to be "You rush!" I covered ...... "It's really worthless to be a little Japan's life!" But hearing this, Nagata Tieshan's face showed an expression of joy that could not be concealed. 150,000 lives is nothing to Japan with a population of 70 million! If these lives can be exchanged for steel, oil, airplanes, and ships, which can make Japan go further in this world war, then this account will naturally not be a loss.

"Humph! Go all out to assist the Empire...... It's not just talking! Nagata hadn't answered yet, but Onishi Takijiro on the side had already finished listening to the translation and shouted loudly: "The Japanese Combined Fleet now does not have sufficient fuel, does not have high-performance aircraft, does not have sufficient transportation capacity, and even excellent pilots ......"

At this moment, Nagata Tetsuyama suddenly coughed lightly, stopped Onishi Takijiro's "nonsense", and took over the topic. "Of course, the empire cannot devote all its forces to attacking the continental United States, and the operation in the South Pacific is the most important thing. Therefore, the Combined Fleet can only devote a part of its aircraft carriers and some inexperienced pilots to the operation of attacking the continental United States. As he spoke, he sighed lightly: "In addition, attacking the US mainland will inevitably involve a large-scale land war, and our Japanese army strength has developed slowly in recent years, and without enough tanks and new artillery, I am afraid it will be difficult to exist on the US mainland for too long." ”

"Both airplanes and tanks can be supplied by Germany!" The dead fat man Goering and Keitel beside him whispered a few words, and then replied loudly: "Germany can provide Japan with 500 BF-109T and 500 Ju-88C before January 1939, both of which are carrier-based aircraft with very advanced performance, which are more advanced than the American P-37 and SBD dreadnought dive bombers." As for tanks...... he asked Luo Yaoguo, "Can the Chinese side provide it?" ”

"Yes, we can deliver 500 No. 2 tanks to the DPRK in half a month." Luo Yaoguo is quite generous this time. But he also knows that these 1,000 planes and 500 tanks are definitely not so easy to get! And most of the mainland of the United States is also a tiger's den in Longtan that has no return...... Let the Japanese break through and explore the truth and reality.

"And fuel and transport ships......" Nagata Tetsuyama hesitated for a moment and said again.

"No problem! We can supply 1.5 million tons of heavy fuel oil and 1 million barrels of jet gasoline in 1 month. In addition, 30 cargo ships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons can be leased to Japan. After saying these words, Luo Yaoguo gritted his teeth and looked like a pain.

1.5 million tons of heavy oil, 1 million barrels of aviation gasoline and 300,000 tons of freighters. It may sound like a lot, but in fact, it really takes so much material to get the Japanese Combined Fleet to go to the United States. The Japanese Combined Fleet is a big fuel guster, and if all the ships are dispatched together, it will cost about 8,000 to 10,000 tons of fuel a day. 1.5 million tons of heavy oil is only a little more than a hundred days' volume. According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the fuel reserves of the Japanese Combined Fleet are only more than 1 million tons, and the current naval battle of Hawaii and the previous special training have used up almost 500,000 tons. If China does not provide fuel oil, it will not be long before the combined fleet of small Japan will have to lie on its stomach and will not be able to go to the United States at all. Besides, if you want people to play with their lives, you should always give some sweetness, right?

Moreover, for the Chinese imperialists, who own the two major oil bases of the Heilongjiang Oilfield (Daqing Oilfield) and the Maoming Oil Shale, and will soon seize the Borneo oilfield, 1.5 million tons of oil and 1 million barrels of aviation gasoline are not a large amount.

"1.5 million tons of heavy oil, this ...... It's too little, right? Hearing Luo Yaoguo's offer, Yongtian Tieshan's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his head shook like a rattle. If the Empire's Combined Fleet were to fight in the Eastern Pacific and the West Coast of the United States, the attrition would be greatly increased. According to calculations from the base camp, Japan needs at least 5 million tons of oil a year to sustain the war, and Japan now has no more than 300,000 tons of oil production. In addition, the production of special steel and electrolytic aluminum in the empire is also insufficient, and various agricultural products are also insufficient, and most of the strategic resources are not self-sufficient, and they are in urgent need of the help of their allies, and I wonder if China and Germany can ...... Alas, without these things, the empire could not sustain the war. If the Empire is defeated......"

Yongtian's posture was very low, and his tone sounded like he was pleading with Zhongde, but Luo Yaoguo heard the meaning of coercion. Japan has now succeeded in dragging the United States into this world war, and once this industrial giant has fully mobilized its formidable war potential, the pressure on China and Germany is self-evident. If Japan, which has stabbed a hornet's nest, is defeated by the United States in a short period of time, even if the United States, which is carrying the threat of a great victory, is willing to carve up the world with China and Germany, the asking price will inevitably rise! On the other hand, if the United States were to get bogged down in the war with Japan, most of their ambitions to lead the world would be diminished, right?

Hum! These hateful little Japan have eaten big.

Luo Yaoguo's expression was slightly gloomy, he just gritted his teeth and smiled: "We will discuss the issue of how Japan will maintain the war in the future, and the top priority now is to coordinate the obligations that China, Japan and Germany need to undertake in the next stage of the war." At this point, his tone became a little more aggravated, "As an ally of China and Germany, Japan should have the consciousness of taking on its obligations!" If we want us to provide everything, then what else do we want Japan as an ally? ”

"Yes! We will do everything, so what else do you want Japan to do? Fat Goering echoed.

A hint of gloom flashed on Nagata's face, and in a blink of an eye, he changed to a smiling face, and slowly spoke: "The biggest advantage of the United States is that it has a strong industrial base and rich resources. Even the industrial power of China and Germany is far inferior to that of the United States! If China and Germany were to defeat the United States by competing for industrial strength, Japan would indeed not be needed. But are you so sure? If the contemptible expectation is good, China and Germany should have extended an olive branch to the United States more than once, right? And how did the United States respond? Hehe, in this case, China and Germany are still unwilling to tear their faces with the United States, can this be explained by the lack of confidence in China and Germany to defeat the industrial strength of the United States? ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly and asked rhetorically: "Yes, we are not sure of defeating the United States, does Japan have the industrial strength to defeat the United States?" ”

"Humph!" Nagata sneered twice, "Of course, Japan's industrial strength is not as good as that of the United States, but the bushido spirit of our great Japanese emperor can defeat the industrial giant of the United States with the least amount of material!" This is something that the Chinese and German soldiers simply cannot do! This is the value of Japan as an ally of China and Germany. ”

"What!"

The voices of the fat Goering and Keitel sounded at the same time, and they both looked indignant.

The two ** people in China have an indifferent expression, and the Chinese certainly understand the bushido spirit of the Japanese devils. In the armies of other countries of the world, the kind of suicide attacks that cost not killing were only a few special cases that could be written in the history of the army, but in the armies of the Japanese Empire, such crazy acts were very commonplace, and appeared in the thousands!

Nagata glanced at Onishi beside him, and Onishi Tajiro spoke: "Mr. Goering, Mr. Keitel, in this battle between the Combined Fleet and the US Pacific Fleet, our Combined Fleet used the newly formed 'kamikaze special attack team' to launch a decisive attack on the US aircraft carrier!" He paused, staring at Goering. 200 dead soldiers of the kamikaze team, piloting bomb-laden planes to ram American warships, and perished with the enemy! Excuse me, Your Excellency, did the Luftwaffe have such a tactic? ”

"Ahh Is this all true? After listening to the translation, the fat man Goering was obviously taken aback, and was stunned for a long time before turning his head to look at Luo Yaoguo. Luo Yaoguo didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Marshal Goering, Marshal Luo," Nagata Tieshan's complexion had sunken, and he said coldly:

"For this holy war for the liberation of the East Asian nations, our 70 million citizens have gambled everything, and are ready to fight to the last drop of blood against the United States, Britain, France and other enemies under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor. And this is not just a casual statement, schools have been established to train kamikaze fighters, and about 10,000 young people from all over Japan have volunteered to enter these schools for special training, and they can go to the battlefield to serve His Majesty the Emperor in just three months of training. ”

"In addition, special aircraft and man-operated torpedoes specially designed for special attack operations have already entered the research and development stage. It is estimated that by March 1939, the 'kamikaze special assault team' will be able to form a strong combat force! Japan will fight with the United States with the exchange ratio of 'one man, one plane, and one bomb' for 'one ship'! In that case, even if the United States has ten times the material resources of the empire, it will not be able to sustain itself! I wonder if the two marshals think Japan is qualified to be an ally of Germany and China? ”

After Nagata finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room, only the heavy breathing of two Japanese, and Luo Yaoguo and the fat man Goering frowned tightly, as if they were thinking hard.

Luo Yaoguo knew a lot about Japan's "kamikaze special attack team" in his previous life, and the first organized air kamikaze special attack team was planned and launched by Onishi Takijiro, who came to Shanghai with Nagata Tieshan. Historically, it was in the autumn of 1944, and in this time and space, I don't know why, it was actually advanced to the winter of 1938. The Japanese used this crazy tactic almost as soon as the war began, and they achieved amazing results.

From Nagata's words, it seems to reveal such a message. It is quite possible that the "kamikaze attack" in the air will become the main means of attack of the Japanese Navy! Moreover, the Japanese also used this crazy way of fighting as a bargaining chip with China and Germany. Or maybe this tactic had to be used in order to occupy a favorable position in the Sino-German-Japanese alliance, right? Is it possible that Japan, which used the killer weapon of "kamikaze attack" six years earlier, really made the United States suffer? You know, at the moment, the Japanese Combined Fleet still controls the sea supremacy in the Pacific......

"For the German Empire, with or without the participation of Japan, it could defeat Britain, France, and, of course, the United States. There was no problem with this, Germany and Germany's ally China already controlled most of Eurasia and therefore had enough resources to fight any enemy. However, Japan's accession to us is a cause for celebration, and the sacrificial spirit of the Japanese soldiers will still help us to defeat the British, French, and American imperialist alliance at an early date. ”

The fat man Goering was the first to break the silence, apparently frightened by the madness of the Japanese. Although the German Nazis were crazy, they still dare not imagine that there would be a way of fighting in this world with planes full of explosives piloted by thousands of young people to ram warships! Such a madman should be of some use to the cause of the German Empire, right?

Goering paused, secretly glanced at Luo Yaoguo's face out of the corner of his eye, and continued. "Therefore, Germany hopes that China will help Japan as much as possible and provide them with the materials they need for the war, and the German side can provide the price for half of the materials, but the total amount of aid cannot exceed 300 million Reichsmarks in the next three years."

At present, 1 Reichsmark is equivalent to 2.5 US dollars, and 300 million Reichsmarks is 120 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 480 million legal currency. In 1938, the revenue of the national government was estimated to be 6 billion legal currency, and the expenditure was as high as 6.3 billion legal currency. Therefore, the crazy move of 480 million yuan to support Japan can still be bearable, not to mention that the 960 million (including the part borne by Germany) will be used to purchase materials in China and the Chinese colonies, and almost 20 of them will be converted into various taxes and become the income of the national government. In other words, the expenditure of the national government for this is less than 300 million legal currency, and it will be paid in three years, which is only 100 million per year. The annual aid of 320 million fiat currency, according to the current price level, can buy millions of tons of oil or more than a million tons of steel, which should be able to meet Japan's demand for imports of strategic materials.

Seeing that Goering had already spoken on behalf of Germany, Luo Yaoguo had to sigh softly and reluctantly agreed to bear the other half of the amount of aid.

The Pacific War also evolved into a situation in which China and Germany "paid for the guns" and Japan fought for the United States......
