At the same time that the Japanese people were determined to fight the Chinese invaders to the end. In Tokyo's Akasaka Imperial Palace, Takeda Heng's face was pale, and a telegram from Japanese Ambassador to China Shigemitsu Aoi was on his desk, the content of which was the full text of Chang Ruiqing's Lantern Festival speech and the news that the Great China Federal Assembly would vote to declare war on Japan on February 10, that is, today. As soon as the three of them walked into Takeda's office, their butts were not yet seated, and the office door was pushed open again, and Yasuo Yasuda walked in quickly.

Nagano Shu knew that Germany had officially announced that it would send troops to defend Australia, which showed that the life-saving straw of "going south to Australia" was a trap for the Germans, and the purpose was to use Japan's threat to Australia to penetrate deep into this almost uncultivated continent. Now that their goal has been achieved, it is naturally impossible to offend China for the sake of Japanese GCD.

"Comrade Yasuda, the achievements of your Combined Fleet in the South Pacific are worthy of recognition, but your behavior of ignoring the defense of the South Sea Islands is extremely wrong, and we have suffered great losses!"

Before Yasuo Yasuda could speak, Takeda Heng reprimanded him unceremoniously, Yasuo Yasuda naturally didn't dare to distinguish half a sentence, but respectfully let Chairman Takeda teach him.

"The Nanyang Islands are our great rear to resist the invasion of China, and they are also the main transportation routes for us to unite the Soviet Union and India, and at the same time bear the task of blockading the mainland of China, so we can't afford to lose!" Takeda Heng's face was very stern, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he criticized the mistakes of the Combined Fleet in the southward advance operation: "You made the mistake of left-leaning blind activism in the southward advance operation, regardless of the actual situation. Blindly adventuring will result in the imperialists taking the opportunity to break through the South Sea defense line, and you must first defeat the American fleet that has broken through to the South Sea Islands. Then the battle plan of going south to Australia will be implemented. ”

Yasuda Yasuo knew that Takeda's anger was not aimed at the mistake of the Combined Fleet in the southward operation, but that there was nowhere to vent his anger, and it was more to hide the fear in his heart. Seeing that Takeda Heng had calmed down, he cautiously spoke: "Comrade Chairman, what we have learned is that we are summing up the lessons and have decided to send Comrade Vice Takeshi Toyoda to command the 2nd Fleet to the South Seas to expel the American fleet. ”

"Can the 2nd Fleet defeat the American fleet that has broken through into the South Seas?" Takeda asked casually. The establishment of the naval fleet is completely different from that of the army, and the 2nd fleet is theoretically equivalent to the establishment of army divisions. However, the specific number of warships under its jurisdiction and what class of warships are not fixed, and there may be only one light cruiser and a few destroyers, or it may include all the main forces of the combined fleet.

"The 2nd Fleet included the battlecruisers Akagi, Amagi (Akagi-class), Fuji, Kaga, Tosa, and Soryu. The strength is very strong. ”

Yasuda reported a bunch of ship names, and this time Yamamoto 56 handed over all five new capital ships under his command to Vice Takeshi Toyoda to take to the South Seas. It is not that they are particularly confident in the combat effectiveness of these new capital ships, believing that they can defeat more than a dozen capital ships of the Americans. Rather, it is not believed that the American fleet will really remain in the South Seas forever, although they will be able to use the ports of the Great China Federation for replenishment. But now the Americans no longer have any interests in the South Sea Islands. On the contrary, they still have a lot of interests to grasp in Australia, even if they can't stop Germany from entering, but they will not watch the Germans dominate Australia. Therefore, this US fleet will definitely return to Australia after it has had enough of the wilderness in the South Sea Islands, and the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet will be waiting for work in Port Moresby, and it will certainly have a good harvest.

"Comrade Terauchi, Comrade Nagano, can we launch an offensive in the Nanyang region in the near future?" Takeda did not inquire about the deployment of the Combined Fleet, but instead asked if Shouichi Terauchi and Shusei Nagano could launch an offensive in the South Seas. Although China and Japan have not yet declared war. But Chang Ruiqing's Lantern Festival speech made it clear that the carriage and horses were going to destroy Japan! At this time, of course, the last fantasy in Takeda's mind was gone, if there was any omission in the deployment of the Chinese in Nanyang. He doesn't mind striking first!

"I can't." Shouichi Terauchi and Shusei Nagano exchanged glances, shook their heads and explained: "Comrade President, the so-called Nanyang region is actually composed of two major parts, one is the Indochina Peninsula connected to Chinese mainland; The second is the Nanyang Islands. Now the Indochina Peninsula is completely controlled by China, and the South Sea Islands are basically under our control. If the Japanese Red Army were to launch an offensive in the South Seas, the target of the attack could only be the Indochina Peninsula, which borders Chinese mainland. However, China's powerful army can continue to reinforce the Indochina Peninsula, while the Japanese Red Army is weak, and the army deployed in the Nanyang Islands is not large, so if a war starts on the Indochina Peninsula, it will definitely suffer a big loss......"

"We can't just be beaten!" Takeda Heng's expression was very stern, and he unceremoniously interrupted Terauchi Shouichi, and said extremely arbitrarily: "We cannot allow the enemy to devote all their naval and air forces to the operation of attacking the Japanese mainland, so the General Staff must draw up a plan for engaging the Chinese army in the Nanyang region in the near future, even if the attack on the Indochina Peninsula cannot be successful, as long as it can disperse their naval and air forces, it is worth trying." ”

Nagano Xiushen nodded secretly, although Takeda Heng, the leader of the Japanese GCD, has not systematically studied military affairs, he still has a bit of military talent, and it can be seen at a glance that strong sea and air strength is the key to China's invasion of the Japanese mainland. The best tactic for the Japanese Red Army to defend the motherland is to defend the enemy at sea, and if the Chinese army, which swept through the Soviet Union and India, is allowed to land on the Japanese mainland, then the war will be lost. The best way to defend the enemy at sea is not to concentrate Japan's naval and air forces on its own territory, which will only be destructively attacked by China's superior air and naval air forces -- the principle of concentrating forces does not apply here, but on the contrary, it is necessary to adopt the method of avoiding the real and making up for the hypocritical, turning the Nanyang Islands into a battlefield to attract the naval and air forces of the Chinese army, and reducing the pressure on the mainland by dispersing the naval and air forces of the Chinese army.

Thinking of this, Nagano Shuren stepped forward and said loudly: "Comrade Chairman, the Navy will resolutely carry out your instructions!" ”

Shouichi Terauchi was stunned for a moment. I didn't understand what was going on for a while, but I could only follow Nagano to express my obedience to Takeda's supreme instructions.

……

"Yasuda-kun, Kato-kun...... Do you think there is still hope for GCD in Japan? ”

Shouichi Terauchi and Shusei Nagano, two giants of the Japanese Red Army, army and navy, left. Takeda Heng's office is only left with him, Yasuo Yasuda, and Hiroshi Kato. Compared with those military leaders who came out of the old Japanese Empire, these two GC fighters in front of him are Takeda's real henchmen. So Takeda's speech in front of the two of them didn't take any care about it, and he basically said whatever came to mind.

However, the great leader of the Japanese GCD actually asked, "Is there still hope for the Japanese g?" "It's a surprising question. There was silence in the room, and the two henchmen didn't know what to say for a while, and it was Yasuo Yasuda who broke the silence in the middle of the night: "Chairman, the future of the cause of GCISM is bright, and a temporary setback doesn't mean anything. Even though...... Even if the Japanese mainland is occupied by Chinese imperialism, the Japanese people will not give in, and they will persist in guerrilla warfare under the leadership of the Japanese GCD. Until the advent of the Second World Revolution**! ”

Takeda's gaze suddenly shot at Yasuda like lightning, and Yasuo Yasuda looked solemn, looking convinced of what he had said.

"Yasuda-kun, do you really think so?"

Yasuo Yasuda nodded heavily.

Takeda was silent for a moment. Nodding his head, he said, "The Japanese people have always been heroic. It should not be so easy to succumb to the coercion of Chinese imperialism, and the complex terrain of the Japanese mainland is very suitable for fighting guerrilla warfare. He suddenly accentuated his tone and said through gritted teeth: "Once the homeland falls, we will use guerrilla warfare Chinese...... Drag it to death! ”

The last four words have a bit of a vicious curse! Things have come to this point, and Takeda Heng also knows that the general trend has gone, but when he thinks that the great Japan under the leadership of a red Takeda Thought is about to be taken away by the Chinese, he really can't wait for Japan and China to die together. As long as China can be dragged down from the throne of the world's three major powers, even if more than 50 million Japanese are wiped out, they will not hesitate!

Yasuda suddenly snapped at this time. He bowed to Takeda Heng: "Comrade Chairman, subordinates...... The subordinates are willing to stay on the soil and lead the Japanese people in guerrilla warfare after the fall! ”

Hearing this statement, Takeda Heng and Kato Hiroshi were stunned at the same time. Although Yasuda has always been quite favored by Takeda, he is diligent in his work, his mind is exquisite, and there is probably no doubt about his loyalty, but he has nothing to do with the word "brave". Today, he actually took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in China to lead the guerrilla war, which is a task of nine deaths, I really didn't expect this Yasuo Yasuda to show great loyalty and courage at a critical moment.

Takeda's eyes turned to Hiroshi Kato, who was originally the "pillar of the party-state" who was the most suitable person in his mind to stay in Japan and lead the guerrilla war against China. Hiroshi Kato didn't understand what Takeda meant, and now as long as he took the initiative to ask Ying, this nine-life errand would not have to run. He met Takeda's gaze and said loudly: "Chairman, it's too early to discuss local guerrilla warfare, after all, Chinese haven't officially declared war yet, maybe there is still room for redemption, or let's follow the path of the United States and Germany, even if we cut out the Nanyang Islands and Huatai Island, and pay another $1 billion in compensation......

Takeda Heng just shook his head: "There is no way, there is no way, there is no way, the path of virtue will definitely not work......"

Yasuo Yasuda frowned and said, "Chairman, we might as well set our sights on the future." The subordinates feel that the Great China Federation established by Chang Ruiqing is actually a foreign powerhouse and a middle cadre, and it will not be long before it prospers, as long as we maintain our strength, we will definitely be able to make a comeback if we find the right opportunity in the future! ”

Takeda looked at him: "Yasuda-kun, what do you mean ......"

Yasuo Yasuda showed a contemptuous look, crossed his fingers and said eloquently: "Although on the surface, the Great China Federation may be the largest and most populous country in the world, and its military strength is also extremely powerful. But this kind of power is only a superficial and temporary phenomenon, and it is absolutely impossible to last. This is because the social and economic system of the Federation of Great China is full of loopholes.

One of the biggest loopholes is their democratic constitutional system! Such a system may be appropriate in a small country with a developed economy, but it would be useful for a country with a large population like the Great Chinese Federation. The ethnic composition is very complex, the economy is relatively backward, and the regional development is extremely unbalanced. There is also a superpower with strong feudal remnants that are absolutely not feasible, and sooner or later it will be chaotic and end up falling apart! Now the Great China Federation can still be maintained. However, Chang Ruiqing's prestige is too high, enough to control the army, manipulate the three parties of the Central G, the Gongrong Association and the National Society, and suppress the opposition, including the Kuomintang and the Nanyang national separatist forces. Even so, during this time, the Indochina Independence League openly organized demonstrations and protests in Nanjing!

You must know that the world war is not over yet, and the contradictions between the various monopoly chaebol groups in the Greater China Federation, and between the monopoly chaebols and the working class. The contradictions between the military and the chaebols, between the military and politicians, and between the oppressed nationalities and the Han nationality were all suppressed by the war and were not exposed for the time being. Once the world war ended. There will be a time when contradictions in all aspects will erupt. If the Great China Federation implements the dictatorship of the proletariat under the leadership of the GCD, as in Japan, then relying on the strong leadership of the GCD and the resolute support of the proletariat, the whole country can always maintain stability. At the same time, some measures to suppress the chaebols, strengthen economic control, and appease various ethnic minorities and the military may really be able to maintain the Great China Federation.

However, the Chinese have taken the evil road of democratic constitutionalism that cannot suppress the sharp contradictions in all aspects. There is no strong leadership group at the core. Without the backing of a huge proletariat, relying solely on Chang Ruiqing's personal prestige to maintain, I am afraid that it will not be long before we can see the general outbreak of contradictions within the Great China Federation. At that time, it will be the best time for our Japanese GCD to make a comeback! ”

Takeda Heng stood up in silence, walked to the window, looked at the tall and majestic castle of the imperial palace in the distance, and pondered Yasuo Yasuda's words. Yasuda's analysis is obviously very reasonable, and the Federation of Great China is indeed a superpower with a strong foreign power and a strong middle power. It has a population of 60,000,000, a land area of 30 million square kilometers and the second most powerful military force in the world. There is also the world's third-largest heavy industry...... This qiē is a miracle created by Chang Ruiqing in less than 20 years (of course, there is also the credit of the Japanese GCD, if it were not for their revolution to drive the entire Japanese elite to China, China's heavy industry development would never have been so smooth)!

But Chang Ruiqing made the wrong choice on the most critical issue, perhaps because this person was too selfish? He was unwilling to dedicate everything to the Japanese people and to the cause of GCISM - including the happiness of children and grandchildren, as he did himself! Chang Ruiqing only wants to enjoy power but is unwilling to take responsibility, only wants to create a "Chang family dynasty" but is unwilling to let his children and grandchildren go through brutal political struggles, and only wants to use the risk-free model of democratic constitutionalism and family economics to achieve power inheritance. However, how can the politicians cultivated in such a greenhouse suppress various interest groups and separatist forces and sit firmly in the country of the Great China Federation?

Takeda turned to Yasuo Yasuda and said, "Comrade Yasuda, your analysis is very correct! A superpower like the Great China Federation, which follows the evil path of democratic constitutionalism, will not be able to last long at all, because for such a large country with a complicated situation, a large population, and a vast land, it is simply impossible to maintain stability and unity without a strong centralized central government! Therefore, as long as we can preserve our strength, we will surely revive Japan one day in the future...... Yasuda-kun, when you are leading the guerrilla war in Japan, you must pay attention to the issue of preserving your strength, and you must not fight hard with the enemy, do you know? ”

Yasuo Yasuda breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, to be honest, his evaluation of the evil path of democratic constitutionalism in the Federation of Great China just now was not entirely fooling Takeda Heng. In fact, he is really not very optimistic about the path Chang Ruiqing has chosen for China, and he does not believe that a country with a population of 60,000, has been feudal for more than 2,000 years, and has no democratic tradition can engage in democratic constitutionalism. This kind of system is completely inconsistent with China's national conditions, and in the end it will inevitably cause turmoil in China's domestic political situation, and may really give Japan a chance to break away from the federation and achieve independence......

……

At this time, in the parliament building of the Great China Federation, in the halls of the Senate and the Legislative Yuan, the parliamentarians of the GCD, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association, the National Socialist Workers' Party, and the Chinese Kuomintang all shouted one after another: "Agree, agree, agree...... their arms raised. Zhou Elai and Soong Ching-ling loudly announced on the rostrums of the Senate and the Legislative Yuan almost at the same time: "This motion is unanimously approved, thank you members for your support for the Greater East Asian Reunification War!" ”

With the banging of the gavel by the leaders of the Senate and the Senate, the decisive battle between the two military powers in Greater East Asia, the Great Chinese Federation and the Great Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic, is finally about to begin! According to the description in the "War for the Unification of Greater East Asia" and the later history textbooks of the Great China Federation, the trend of the unification of Greater East Asia is unstoppable, and this war will only determine whether the future Greater East Asia will be unified with the democratic constitutional system of the Great China Federation or the Soviet of the Japanese Soviet**, and this war is not a war between the two fraternal nations of China and Japan, but a decisive battle of life and death between the two social systems......
