Chapter 11 Severance of diplomatic relations between Germany and Japan
"Yaga, why is this happening? What are the Germans trying to do? "A diplomatic note signed by Hitler himself was slammed on the table, and several other people in the room approached, with a striking line on the diplomatic note, "Evacuation Plan for All Japanese in Germany and the German-Occupied Zones." Why did the Germans evacuate the Reich diaspora at this time? Are they going to sever their alliance with the Empire? Nomura tapped his fingers on the table with a grim face, Nomura was nominally the military attache counselor of the Japanese Embassy in Germany, but in fact he was a special agent in charge of European affairs, and several other embassy staff in the room were his subordinates.
The diplomatic note that Nomura threw on the table was probably read by everyone, and as Nomura said, it was a written statement by the German government that the Japanese expatriates had left Germany and the German-occupied zone, and it was more of a notice that the Germans wanted to sever all relations with Japan, including the former Axis Alliance. "Could it be that something is wrong within the German government?" Ono Miji, who has always been valued by Nomura, cautiously said his inference, this diplomatic note from the Germans came too suddenly, their ambassador had just attended Marshal Goering's reception a few days ago, and the Germans did not show any warning, so Ono Miji would deduce the authenticity of this note.
"No, there is Hitler's autograph on it, the Germans will not and dare not pretend to be their Führer's signature, those SS are not idle meals" Nomura glanced at Ono Miji angrily, this damn guy is really brainless, such a simple thing can't be imagined. Hitler's position in Germany had reached the point of being in full swing after successfully taking over half of France and capturing Buckingham Palace in Britain, and strictly speaking, Hitler was no less important in the minds of the Germans than the existence of God, who would have the audacity to pass off his signature.
An alliance with Germany has always been Japan's strategic goal second only to the occupation of China, and it is easy to form an alliance with Germany, so why did the Germans turn their faces when they said they would turn their faces, and they also wanted to dismiss all the Japanese fighters in the German-controlled areas, and what was the reason for this? Nomura knew that Hitler was not a person who liked to change the order of the day, and the Germans kept their promises, if it were not for the abnormality, the Germans would not have severed relations with Japan, after all, the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in northeast China was still helping the Germans to exert pressure on the Soviets.
Nomura is not a person who likes to make a noise, he just hides these questions deep in his heart, and the most important thing to do now is to immediately send the news back to the Tokyo base camp, and immediately contact those German high-level officials who are friendly with Japan to find out the news, even if Japan is abandoned by Germany, Nomura must find out the secret behind this note. "Okay, let's all go out" Nomura waved his hand, signaling the embassy staff in the room to go out, and he nestled in a chair alone, hiding his body in the dark, thinking carefully about the questions in his heart.
Nomura, who was far away in Berlin, would never have thought that this diplomatic note delivered to the Japanese embassy had anything to do with Zhao Zhi, who grew up in the United States in his previous life, and naturally would not forget the famous Pearl Harbor attack in the history of World War II. After the German army occupied half of France, it successfully planned a landing operation against Britain, and Japan, which was eager to board the German chariots, immediately drove out all the British expatriates in China and seized British interests in China.
In order to teach the Japanese army a lesson, the United States, which has been providing materials for Japan's material export, froze normal trade with Japan, including the high-octane oil that must be used in the war, without oil, many of the Japanese army's combat equipment could not be driven, and the ships broke anchor, which was equivalent to not being able to continue the invasion, in order to ensure normal aggression and plunder oil, the Japanese army decided to take a risk, and after synthesizing all the intelligence, the Japanese base camp felt that the main target of launching an attack on the US Navy was the US Pacific Fleet.
Pearl Harbor in the Pacific Ocean is a transportation hub, with Hawaii to the east coast of the United States, Japan to the west, islands to the southwest, and Alaska and the Bering Strait to the north. Japan believed that in order to gain air and sea supremacy in the Pacific, it must first destroy the US Pacific Fleet stationed at Pearl Harbor, and only in this way could Japan ensure the smooth implementation of their plan to go south, and only in this way could the Japanese army, which was in dire need of fuel, obtain a large amount of resources from the Southeast Asian countries to ensure the continuation of their holy war. With this in mind, after the Germans launched a landing operation against Britain and the Allied defenses in France were already crumbling, the Japanese base camp decided to launch an early attack on Pearl Harbor.
Historically, the time when the Japanese army launched the Pearl Harbor attack was actually 1941, and there was still a year to go, but the CIA's agents in Southeast Asia discovered that the Japanese Navy had recently moved abnormally, and Yamamoto Isoroku, who had been sitting in Japan, was nowhere to be seen. It is said that there is nothing normal for the Japanese Navy, but the information fed back by the CIA agents shows that before the Japanese Navy left the Japanese harbor, their warship transferred a batch of strange aerial bombs with wooden tails.
Why the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in advance is not something that Zhao Zhi is concerned about, what he cares about is that the reason why the United States entered the war was because the Pacific Fleet was heavily damaged by the Japanese Navy at Pearl Harbor. The German offensive looked very smooth, in fact, it was still far from the established strategic intentions, and Zhao Zhi tried his best to prevent Hitler from turning his face with the Soviets, because the German army was still fighting with the British and French forces, and Germany, which lacked follow-up troops, was not suitable for a two-way war. Japan's choice of this time to drag the United States, which had been watching from the sidelines, into the war would to a great extent have serious consequences for Germany's overall strategy, because the world knows that Germany and Japan are allies.
The Americans, whose interests are paramount, will not always watch Germany grow stronger, but Zhao Zhi does not want the United States to join the ranks of resisting the German army at this time, even if Germany and the United States eventually have a war, it will have to wait until the German army has pacified Britain and France. In order to persuade Hitler to break off the alliance with Japan, Zhao Zhi sent more than 200 telegrams to Berlin in one day, and four operators in the armored training camp in Rangoon were serving Zhao Zhi at the same time, and he and Hitler almost used the transmitter as a telephone.
In Zhao Zhi's encrypted message to Berlin, Zhao Zhi made a detailed analysis of Hitler of the intelligence collected by CIA agents, and in Zhao Zhi's narrative, the problems that the German army is now facing and the drawbacks of the United States joining the war are very clear, and after repeated measurements, Hitler also has deep doubts about the combat strength of his ally Japan, if the Japanese army is really as strong as they say, then why is the Japanese Kwantung Army in a stalemate with the Soviets in Nomenhan, and is the Kwantung Army not the most powerful unit in the Japanese army?
Hitler also did not have a good impression of the United States, which put interests first, but just like Zhao Zhi's analysis, the current Germany is not enough to deal with the combat power from other powers, and Germany is not suitable for conflict with the Soviet Union and the United States before taking Britain and France. Before Zhao Zhi left for the United States, he had formulated a subversion plan for the Soviet Union, and in order to persuade Hitler to sever his alliance with Japan, Zhao Zhi had to inform Hitler of this plan in advance.
At the same time that Zhao Zhi went to the United States, the Russian mercenaries in the mercenary unit had sneaked back to Ukraine and the Caucasus through Outer Mongolia under the leadership of Eugene. In Stalin's purge, the White Russians in Ukraine and the Caucasus suffered heavy casualties, and a large number of ordinary Soviet families who sympathized with the White Russian forces were also purged, and Zhao Zhi's subversive plan was aimed at the remnants of the White Russians. There are a large number of White Russians in Ukraine, and Eugene's task is to try to incite these White Russians to rebel against Stalin's rule, delay the progress of the Soviet army while the Soviet Union wants to attack the German-occupied areas, and help the German army when the German army attacks the Soviet Union.
Hitler, who had a deep conversation with Zhao Zhi, always wanted to invite Zhao Zhi to stay in Germany, and now he has learned of Zhao Zhi's earth-shattering plan, and he is even more impressed with Zhao Zhi. If, as Zhao Zhi planned, the help of the White Russian partisans when the German army attacked the Soviet Union, the invincible German armored forces would be sharper, and the vast land of the Soviet Union would belong to the German Empire. Not afraid of wolf-like opponents, afraid of pig-like teammates, the sharp-eyed Hitler compares the two, compared with the arrogant Japan, Zhao Zhi, who has just exposed his claws, is more suitable to be an ally of the German Empire.
After convening the high-level of the German high command to discuss and analyze, Hillet decided to immediately break off the alliance with Japan according to Zhao Zhi's proposal, and secretly sent envoys to the other side of the ocean to contact Roosevelt. The cunning Hitler did not inform the Americans of Zhao Zhi's intelligence analysis, and he hoped that Japan would attack the US Pacific Fleet because he wanted to teach the arrogant Japanese a lesson. At the same time that Germany had signed a secret agreement with the United States, he had already signed the latest battle order, and the Germans would gather more than 500,000 troops from the French occupation zone to land on British soil, and by the time the United States declared war on Japan, the arrogant British would have already become slaves of the German Empire.
