Chapter 1151: I Will Prancing Horse Tokyo Bay (II)
"It seems that Rì himself has some ideas, but I don't know what the Americans think......" Tu Mengben quickly put down the telegram and sneered at Su Zongzhe.
Su Zongzhen nodded and said, "It's normal for rì to have ideas, after all, they have been cornered by us. They know better than anyone else that we won't let them go so easily once we retaliate......"
"So, in contrast, they prefer the United States on the other side of the ocean to intervene in this matter. On the one hand, we will lay a nail for us, and on the other hand, we will also protect ourselves" Su Zongzhe paused and said: "After all, we are allies with the United States, and the relationship still needs to be taken into account." ”
Rì's own abacus is very jīng, but this also shows their bet. They are betting that the United States will be motivated by interests, and they are betting that the United States will be motivated by the containment of the Wehrmacht.
However, they did not calculate the consequences of a mistake, and you must know that once the United States resolutely chooses to hand over the Rì Ben to the Wehrmacht after weighing the pros and cons, then the fate of the Rì Ben will undoubtedly be even more miserable.
The joint zhèngfǔ and the Wehrmacht will not let go of this kind of zhèngfǔ who tries to take refuge in others, and the demolition of rìben will be more complete. At the same time, Rìben would also be severely suppressed after the war.
The Wehrmacht and the United Armed Forces will not give Rì Ben any more chance, as this capriciousness has ruined their national credibility.
"Let's see how the U.S. side reacts first, I'm curious about what Roosevelt will do......" Tu Mengben smiled and put down the telegram in his hand.
"We have done deductions and statistics, if it was just President Roosevelt, then Rìben's proposal would not have been passed......" Su Zongzhen paused and said, "But if it is the US Congress, then it may not be ......"
"The U.S. still has an interest in the Rì Ben. Especially the interests in the Pacific, and the United States certainly does not want to divide the Pacific Ocean equally among us. They will certainly try to curb our post-war rise......"
"Rì Ben is a good bargaining chip, and the feud between us and Rì Ben makes it impossible for us to cooperate with them. And Rì Ben was also worried about retaliation, so he could only just hug the thigh of the American......"
"The United States can now get an outlet to the Pacific Ocean to contain us, and in Southeast Asia, because we are fast enough and have too strong roots, the United States has no way to return again. In other words, rì is an important area for them to contain our development in the Pacific......"
Tu Mengben smiled and nodded continuously, the staff and the joint zhèngfǔ think tank analyzed it correctly. If it had been Roosevelt, the relationship between the two sides would have certainly been taken into account.
In particular, Roosevelt would consider using China to contain the post-war Soviet Union, so in order not to force China into an alliance with the Soviet Union, they could only cede part of their interests.
Let China hold back the hands of the USSR. And those members of Congress may not think so. They think more about the interests of the consortium.
How to make the consortium get more benefits is related to their political future and interest prospects. So, inevitably they value this more.
"I also want to see the reaction of those consortia, and I also want to see the reaction of those Jews......" Tu Mengben smiled and said softly: "I want to see how many people will stand up for our interests when we show that we don't know anything." ”
"If there are such people, then in the future they will be our allies. If they are still on the opposite side of us at this time, then I will definitely not consider their share in the distribution of benefits after the war in the future! ”
Su Zongzhe and Tu Mengben were discussing, and the US Congress was also caught in a fierce quarrel. As Tu Mengben and Su Zongzhe had predicted, Rìben's proposal was supported by some members of the U.S. Congress.
For this proposal, the most supportive group is the US military-industrial complex. They were very curious about the design ideas and concepts of the Zero fighter.
There are also those weapons that Rìben obtained from Germany, and the design ideas and manufacturing talents accumulated by Rìben.
"We need to see long-term benefits, not immediate benefits!" Marshall's face was ugly, and the opposing congressmen said too much, and said less and too little.
They hold one-fifth of the votes in the entire Congress. Roosevelt and Marshall knew very well whose interests this part of the people represented. Marshall tried to convince them that he could not accept Ben's offer.
But these congressmen had apparently been given insistent instructions, and one by one they continued to debate with Marshall. Their eloquence can be imagined when they were elected to parliament.
Although Marshall can also make some speeches and debates, he is far inferior to these old fritters who eat political meals.
"General Marshall! We know you're looking out for the good of the United States, and we're also looking out for the good of America! One of the councillors jumped up and said loudly.
"Who can guarantee that in the future China will not have the ambition to challenge us in the Pacific?! Who will guarantee that China will not have a dispute with us in the Pacific?! Once such a dispute occurs, how can the interests of the United States be protected?! ”
"We need a buffer that allows us to deploy our forces for defense. This buffer allows China to be wary of trying to compete with us for interests in the Pacific......"
The congressman crackled and said a lot, but the core meaning was that no one can guarantee long-term cooperation between China and the United States, and for the sake of American interests in the Pacific, Rìben's surrender should be accepted.
At the same time, it will be cultivated as a bargaining chip for the United States to contain China in the Pacific.
"Moreover, this time it is not that we forced our side to surrender to us. Rather, it was the present side that took the initiative to find us to surrender. In this regard, we are not violating the alliance agreement! ”
The congressman summed up his speech with the last sentence, while Marshall was speechless. The MP seemed to be right, but he didn't say what the risks were......
Now is the most critical moment of the war between the Allies and the Axis powers, and if the United States stabs China in the ribs at this time, I believe that China will no longer trust the United States after the war.
The more likely object of their alliance will become the USSR. Once an alliance is formed between China and the Soviet Union, Europe will face tremendous pressure. At the same time, the United States itself is threatened.
Rì is too far away from the United States, but too close to China. China could well have installed a pro-China regime and then expelled American power from there.
Unless the United States intends to use force at all times to safeguard its interests in the Pacific.
"We really should see the long-term benefits. Especially for the Wehrmacht! Roosevelt, who had not spoken in his seat, spoke coldly, but saw him say to the congressman: "The long-term interest is: the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union!" ”
Roosevelt stood up and looked at the congressmen with mockery in their eyes. These fools are essentially no different from the fools who killed the British Empire.
The only thing that's better than the idiots is that these fools will at least look out for America's interests at a critical moment. And once the crisis is over, they will go their own way.
"The USSR and ours are fundamentally different ideologically. There will inevitably be great competition between the two sides after the war. This kind of competition will range from politics and economics to the military. ”
"And China, at that time, will become a bargaining chip that both sides want to woo. If we occupy the rì capital, we will inevitably be hostile to China. Once they are moved by the Soviet Union and join the camp of the Soviet Union, this is our greatest harm! ”
After a pause, Roosevelt said coldly: "This proposal cannot be passed." ”
"I propose to adjourn the meeting for half an hour and we will each have another small discussion. After forming a unified opinion and suggestions, the meeting will be held again! ”
After saying that, Roosevelt stood up directly and brushed his sleeves away. The MPs who stayed behind were watching.
Marshall followed Roosevelt back to his office without saying a word, and as soon as he returned to the office, Roosevelt's face immediately changed, and he slapped the table and scolded.
"These idiots! They only take care of their own interests, how can they think about the interests of the United States?! Roosevelt was furious and roared, "Long-term interests?!" If they really thought about this, we wouldn't have to be so embarrassed now! ”
Marshall did not squeak until Roosevelt had lost his temper before whispering to him: "Your Excellency, I do not believe that the Tiger will not receive the news. ”
"They were even able to gather the battle plan of the rì army, and they certainly would not be ignorant of the fact that rìben had proposed to us to surrender. They may be waiting for us to speak, as they did last time in Southeast Asia. ”
"They seem to be confirming which side they should stand on after the war. Even now, our relations with the USSR are not very good. If we take the opportunity to take the rìben at this time, it will be a great blow to the relationship between us and them......"
Roosevelt waved his hand and said, "Marshall, you let people find those consortia." Tell me about the relationship in the middle, and at the same time ensure that as long as they don't make trouble, I will apply for more investment places and projects from that tiger. ”
"They want to make money, and I'm not against that. But only if they put America's interests first. If not, then let them fuck off! ”
At this time, Fukuoka was facing a saturated bombardment by the Wehrmacht. At the same time, up to 500 fighters arrived over Rìben, who were responsible for clearing the road and escorting the bombers.
After receiving the news, the army aviation unit of the "Buzz ......" army urgently took off more than 100 new fighters of the Tripliquity III.
The two sides fought fiercely in the air, and the Wehrmacht fighters surrounded the Rì Army fighters and carried out inhumane beatings.
In more than an hour of air combat, more than 30 warplanes of the Rì Army were shot down. At the same time, the Wehrmacht itself lost three bombers and eight fighters.
The rì army, which was fighting on the mainland, had some advantage in terms of range. However, due to the huge gap in numbers and combat experience, and at the same time the large gap in the ability of fighters led to heavy losses for the army.
"Don't care what they talk about with the Americans, let's talk about it!" Tu Mengben said coldly: "The Americans are still on Iwo Jima, even if they finish talking and then rush over, we will start landing early!" ”
Su Zongzhen listened to Tu Mengben's words, and his face was happy. He knew what Tu Mengben wanted to do, it was a very simple question. Tu Mengben directly attacked Shangrì himself before he could determine the negotiation matters.
So that even if you surrender, you can only surrender to me. The United States were too far away, and they could not have turned to attack Wehrmacht units in order to accept surrender.
As soon as the Wehrmacht troops landed on the Rìben homeland, then all the tricks of the Rìben were forced to crush.
This incomparably brutal way of fighting is the most barbaric. But at the same time, it is the most direct and effective. No matter how many moves you make or ten thousand moves, I will break it with one move!
Knocking on your door, the U.S. military can only accept the surrender of Iwo Jima. And they had to restrain the combined fleet of the Rì Navy, and not allow them to fight back against the Wehrmacht's attack.
"Three days, I gave the Air Force three days to sweep all the air forces in the Fukuoka area. You're going to blow up all the air defenses and destroy more than 90% of the beach defenses! ”
Tu Mengben looked at Chen Haihua, took a deep breath and said, "This time, I'm going to smash these!" ”
"Yes!!" Chen Haihua, Gao Zhihang and others answered loudly, and then turned to leave. Tu Mengben immediately returned to his chair and looked at the documents, asking as he looked at them.
"How's the preparation on the front line of the Minjiang River?!" When Su Zongzhen saw Tu Mengben asking, he immediately replied: "The marines on the front line of the Minjiang River have already been prepared!" ”
"Let Chen Shaokuan sneak to the Minjiang area, and the air force will act according to the 'Viper' plan three days later!" Tu Mengben closed the document and said, "After assisting the marines in the Minjiang area, the navy will come back to assist us in landing operations!" ”
"How is the Second Artillery Corps' naval combat capability being trained now?!" As he spoke, Tu Mengben paused and asked Li Yannian, who had been sitting on the chair.
"Having completed the basic training, our sports cars are already familiar with how to fire shè rockets on the bumpy sea." Li Yannian stood up and said, "Of course, the accuracy of jīng still can't be compared to Lu Fa shè......"
"Enough! Smash down their shore fortifications first, and then go ashore after the Marines have taken the beach. Tu Mengben waved his hand and said, "When the time comes, cooperate with the troops to attack all the way in-depth!" ”
What the Marines lacked most was heavy firepower, especially in the case of beachhead attacks. Although the navy can provide naval artillery and fighter support, if they can be covered by the firepower of the Second Artillery Corps, then they will be more powerful.
Yizhou used to be a proud record of this side. It's a pity that no one is paying attention to it here now. Korea was captured, and Wehrmacht warplanes wreaked havoc on the mainland.
These are the most fatal problems for Rìben, and the situation in Yizhou is directly ignored.
In the Yizhou Governor's Palace, the current governor of Yizhou, Kobayashi Tatsuzo, the current commander of the Yizhou local jǐng preparation headquarters, Kodama Tomoo, and the current chief of staff of the Yizhou local jǐng preparation headquarters, Higuchi Keitchiro...... and others are meeting in the conference room.
At the meeting, everyone's faces were gloomy.
"The mainland has been heavily bombed by the Wehrmacht, and I have called the base camp several times but have not received any instructions......" Kodama Tomoo pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, and said, "The base camp is no longer able to take care of us......"
"But at present, several of the Wehrmacht activities in the Minjiang area are active, and I am worried that their target will be Yizhou......" Keishichiro Higuchi frowned and sighed, "I know, now that the base camp is under attack on the mainland, it is no longer possible to take care of us......
"If we had known this was the case, why didn't we withdraw to assist in the defense of the homeland?! At the very least, we can do our part to defend the Empire. It's not just waiting for death here......"
The troops gathered in Taiwan can also be regarded as the jīng rui troops of the rì army. They are also equipped with the most advanced warplanes and tanks of the Rì Army, and the garrison force also has tens of thousands of people.
At the same time, there are also more than 100,000 people in their Jǐng inspection troops and auxiliary defense forces in various parts of Yizhou!
"It's not that the base camp doesn't want to take us back to assist in the war, but the empire simply doesn't have extra fuel to give ships to pick us up and drop us off......"
"That's why we were forced to stop here." Kobayashi took a deep breath and said, "I know some cabinet news that the Kwantung Army was completely annihilated due to the defeat in the Korean Campaign. His Excellency Tojo has been forced to resign......"
"The Imperial Navy took all the seafaring fuel with them because of the expedition to Iwo Jima. Now even the War Department headquarters doesn't have much oil ......"
Kobayashi's words caused everyone to sigh for a while. Once upon a time, the Great Rì Empire dominated the world in Asia. And now, it's not an exaggeration to say that you're down like a dog.
"Is there any action on the dark line on the other side of the river that has detected them?!" Tomoo Kodama asked tiredly.
"Except for the intensified training, we can't receive any other news from the dark line for the time being......" Keishichiro Higuchi shook his head and said, "The Wehrmacht is very tightly blocked, and the vicious dogs they raise are very powerful!" We have paid more than 20 dark lines, but we have not been able to detect useful information......"
The Rì army on Yizhou Island was in a gloomy fog, and the North Korean side of the Defense Force Air Force fighters began a high-intensity bombing of the Rì mainland.
Wehrmacht fighters were divided into three groups and bombed the Fukuoka area around the clock. Every time there was a bombing, there were fighter planes to escort it. As soon as the rì fighters appeared, they would pounce on them and tear them to shreds!
"Tell the troops that I'll only give them two days to prepare!" Tu Mengben looked at Yan Chenghan, commander of the Wehrmacht Marine Corps, who had arrived from the Minjiang area at his last military meeting before the war.
"Three days later! Regain Yizhou, our prancing horse Tokyo Bay!! (To be continued.) )
