Kotaro was born in the countryside of Nagoya, and from a young age he had great ambitions and wanted to be a hero like the three heroes of Nagoya, especially Toyotomi Hideyoshi, because that guy was born as a farmer like himself.

Japanese farmers are also ambitious!

So, Kotaro joined the army, he wanted to be a hero, he wanted to serve the emperor, so he had to join the army now, he didn't have to be a ashigaru like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Kotaro knew what Ashigaru was, and he had to run on the ground when others rode horses, how tired he was.

It has to be said that the Great Japanese Empire is progressing!

And now, for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, Kotaro has come to Iwo Jima, which does not seem to be too far from Tokyo...... Well, it's really not close, and this island is really not having a good time!

This place smells weird! Iwo Jima!

But, for His Majesty the Emperor! Onboard!

Kotaro's idea is similar to that of almost all Japanese soldiers, the conditions here on Iwo Jima are very difficult, but fortunately, at least there is no dengue fever here due to the latitude, and as for whether there is malaria, it is not known yet.

But though, it's been half a month since Kotaro and his troops came to Iwo Jima, and they still haven't caught a single battle!

"Didn't you say those American devils were coming to attack Iwo Jima?" Kotaro was a little depressed, because he couldn't dedicate himself to His Majesty the Emperor.

Kotaro didn't expect it, the battle was not fought, but there was news coming......

Imperial Army of the United States, landing in Taiwan!

Landing in Taiwan, then that's what to say. Don't hit Iwo Jima anymore?

Kotaro really didn't understand. So these officers of the Japanese army. Do they understand?

Seem......

Why hit Taiwan? A direct attack on Iwo Jima would be a direct threat to Japan's main island, which is not far from Tokyo.

Obviously, this is Li Mengyang's strategy!

Because of the speed of message transmission, after Li Mengyang received letters from his four wives, he knew that his wives wanted to be active. Anyway, a few of them are not afraid of big things.

However, at this time, it is also completely feasible to knock Japan from the sea, after all, these guys went to attack Pearl Harbor like death...... Well, Li Mengyang was very emotional, the coincidence of history.

Actually, just look at the personality of the Japanese, and although there is a huge difference in strength, they will definitely do it, not now. That is, in the future, they will not be able to settle down.

In the original history that Li Mengyang knew. The Japanese also attacked Pearl Harbor, but didn't the Japanese know that the United States was stronger than them at that time?

Of course, they knew that the Japanese had done a lot of intelligence work before they started, and this intelligence naturally included the situation in the United States, because there were many Japanese in the United States at that time, and like Chinese workers, they came here to beg for a living at the beginning, and there were even many Japanese in South America.

Therefore, it turns out that the sneak attack in history, in fact, Japan has a mirror in its heart, and it can even be said that the sneak attack is far more aware of the gap in strength than this sneak attack, because most of the Japanese still don't know the situation in the outside world, even most of the ministers.

Now that people are coming to sneak attack, you can't be a turtle with a shrunken head, so Li Mengyang is resolute in the decision of the four wives, this ...... You don't need to take out the washboard or something...... But how can this battle be fought?

Fighting one war after another, that is the idea of ordinary people, but in fact, combined with the geographical location, you know that this battle is very difficult to fight!

This is the Pacific Ocean, but this sea area is too big, so it is very difficult to find fighters at sea, as long as the Japanese do not fight you, then it will be difficult for you to find opportunities.

This is a physical reality, and there is no way to change it, but however, Li Mengyang has a trick.

Li Mengyang's plan is to hit Taiwan first!

The advantage of fighting Taiwan is not only to get this treasure island back, but also to have a more important significance, that is, after taking Taiwan, basically this sea route from Southeast Asia to Japan will be completely strangled by our Pacific Rim Federation Empire!

Judging from the current situation, the Philippines is now Li Mengyang's, and he also has the help of Lan Fangguo, of course, it is doubtful how much of a role this Lan Fang country can have, but this can close part of the South China Sea route!

And with the addition of Taiwan and the blockade of the Taiwan Strait, then the supplies from Southeast Asia will definitely not be able to pass through Japan.

Japan is an island nation, they are a country with poor materials...... Li Mengyang is really clear about this.

Then the trick that Li Mengyang is using now is resource warfare!

North Korea is about to be taken there, so a large part of it is blocked, and Southeast Asia is blocked, so Japan has almost only two places to get resources.

One is Australia, and the other is Russia to the north.

However, Russia's development of the Far East is still relatively average, and as for Sakhalin, although Li Mengyang does not recognize the previous unequal treaties, he has no time to recover this island now, but this island has not been developed too much.

Therefore, on the Russian side, Japan can't count on it, then they have only one place to import raw materials, and that is Australia!

So, how do you get Australia? Hit it?

……

"What? The American Empire, oh no, is it the Pacific Rim Federacy that is willing to raise the price of iron ore by a penny? ”

"What? Is the Pacific Rim Federation willing to pay a higher price for copper? ”

"What more do these guys want? I'm willing to sell all my a**! ”

This place in Australia was originally not populated, but because of another wave of gold rush, by the way, it is similar to that time in California, Melbourne is now known as the new gold mountain, so that there are more talents, and the main thing in this place is that it is rich in mineral resources, and the market has suddenly boomed recently!

Isn't it a good thing that the Pacific Rim Empire, which has deep pockets, is willing to pay a higher price for the acquisition, and anyway, it is more money than others?

Fools don't sell it!

As a result, the buyers from Japan, they were sad......

More money is obtained, but the yen is obviously not comparable to the New Tang Dynasty, that is, the original American dollar, and now that the two countries are at war, the yen has a certain depreciation.

It should be said that this kind of thing is not going to make the current currency of a country depreciate immediately at the beginning, and everyone will wait and see who wins and sees, but in the current situation, Japan is going to fight the original United States and the current Pacific Rim Federation, and this is simply not to be seen.

In fact, Japan, like most countries now, has passed the law to determine the value of its currency, that is, how much gold and silver can be exchanged, but unfortunately, the market's judgment is sometimes cruel.

This is actually Li Mengyang's plan, he wants to blockade Japan in terms of strategic resources!

Resources are basically Japan's seven inches, and as long as we grasp it, then we can take what we want, and as for the result...... This has to wait for a while, so Kotaro didn't wait for the big battle that was supposed to happen......

If you want to say that this is the case on the Japanese side for the time being, the next thing is to take your time, let's just consume it, but at this time, there is a big event, a very, very big thing, but Li Mengyang ignored it, this incident happened in Europe, to be precise, in Tsarist Russia.

But when Li Mengyang knew, this incident had already happened, and it had caused a very big wave, and this incident was ......

Alexander II was assassinated not so long ago, in mid-March, and this tsar died!

Of course, Li Mengyang knows about this historical event, but now he is completely devoted to his motherland, and he has too many things, so he knows about this matter really late, and the impact of this matter is really not small.

You must know that although the relationship between Tsarist Russia and Britain is not good, the Tsar and the Queen of England are really close relatives and a very close family.

Well, let's not care why Queen Victoria fell in love with Alexander II during her budding period......

Therefore, the impact of this matter on the whole of Europe is really great, and there is not only a royal problem, but also a more important problem.

After the assassination of Alexander II, the Tsarist side quickly took an extreme approach, that is, they slaughtered more than 5,000 Jews!

It should be said, well, this assassination seems to have been done by the Jews, and as far as Tsarist Russia is concerned, it is really in line with their usual way of doing things, they are in this style, but there are a lot of legacy problems in this, and those Jews have a certain organization......

After this incident, several Jews met in Bonn, a small town in Germany......

"Comrade Plekhanov, I understand the situation in your homeland, but the current form of struggle is extremely serious, we have to launch an offensive against those ruling classes, and we have to accumulate strength, and the sacrifice of the Russian comrades is an example!"

"Comrade Lee Poker Nexi! I understand what you say, but my heart tells me that the sacrifice of the comrades of the motherland is nothing, but the abominable Romanovs slaughtered so many Jews, which is simply an atrocity! I must avenge them! ”

"Comrade Plekhanov! Don't be rash! ”

"Comrade Lee Poker Nexi! I'm definitely not a hot head! ”

These two people, this is ......

If Li Mengyang could see these two people and hear their conversation, he would definitely exclaim, this is not William. Lee Poker, Nessy and Georgi. Valentinovic. Comrade Plekhanov?

The latter is Comrade Vladimir's teacher! (To be continued.) )

PS: Thank you! Thank you, Brother Feng! Thank you so much!

Many places around the world are turning to the right, and to be honest, we in China have a chance, really.
