readx; "What does China say?" Yamamoto said: "What do they think about the chaos in Indonesia? ”

Inoue Narumi said: "Our people have made extensive contacts in China, not only visited many of their military and political leaders, but also met with Chen Jingyun, and the reported news shows that they, especially Chen Jingyun personally, are willing for us to break out a conflict with the Netherlands, of course, this does not rule out that they are related to the fact that the Chinese have also suffered serious damage in this turmoil!" In the turmoil in Indonesia, although the casualties of Chinese expatriates were not many, the property losses were extremely serious! ”

Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia have always been very active, many Chinese expatriates control the local economy and finances, and a large number of Chinese property has been looted during the turmoil. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"In the case of Indonesia, the interests of the Chinese are the same as ours. However, it seems that the Chinese have no intention of sending troops, and according to our intelligence, their relations with the United States are very tense because of the killing of Philippine American troops two months ago, and although they signed an armistice agreement with Soviet Russia, intelligence shows that they have not stopped increasing troops in the northern region. Mitsumasa Yonechi said: "If analyzed in this way, the Sino-Soviet armistice agreement is just a cover, and the Sino-Soviet war will inevitably break out again within half a year or as long as a year." And the specific process depends on when Germany will be able to take France in Europe! ”

The German attack on France in Europe went smoothly beyond all expectations, Belgium and the Netherlands simply did not last long, and the current German Panzer Corps had rapidly advanced along the western part of Europe to the northwestern part of France, and the target was definitely Paris. Anyone with a little military vision can see that it is impossible for France to reach a protracted positional war with Germany in this war as it did during World War I. Chen Jingyun waited for France's complete defeat, and said, "Ben is also waiting for when the French will die."

Yamamoto Fifty-six said: "Chen Jingyun's intentions are very sinister, and their support for us is nothing more than to want us to attract the attention of Britain, France and the United States, so that they can devote themselves to preparing for the war against Soviet Russia. ”

Speaking of this, Yamamoto 56 paused, but this is not our chance: "At present, China needs to fully prepare for the war against Soviet Russia and the United States to enter the war, and they need our support more than ever before. If the Chinese side can give up part of the interests in the Nanyang region, then there is no chance for cooperation between our two countries, as long as China does not stab us in the back, as long as China can provide us with sufficient resources, then we can completely take Indonesia with our strength. At that time, Britain and France were too busy to take care of themselves, and naturally they had no chance to deal with the life and death of the Dutch colonies. But the attitude of the United States is noteworthy! ”

Over the past few years, the United States has been very much wooing the United States, and after China's national strength has risen, it has replaced the number one threat country in the Pacific region, but this kind of co-optation is of greater verbal significance than actual interests. Different from history, history says that "this is very dependent on the resources of the United States, and the United States has put this in a difficult situation when the United States has imposed an economic blockade on China, but this is not the case now, and it is said that the most dependent on China is China, and almost all kinds of resources are dependent on China's supply, and the serious dependence of this economy on China is also the fundamental reason for the emergence of a large number of pro-Chinese factions in China, and no matter how serious the nationalist sentiment is, it will not be difficult to get along with money. There was mutual hatred among the people, and occasional skirmishes broke out, but the economic ties were very close, and it was said that "we had to rely on China's raw materials and markets to maintain the economic system, and we said that "we had to rely on China's raw materials and markets to maintain the economic system, and we said that we had provided a vast export market for Chinese industry."

Although the national sentiment did not allow the two countries to form an alliance, and although the two defeats made it possible to say that "Ben is full of hatred for China, from the perspective of national and national interests, it is very advantageous for Ben to form an alliance with China, and when the time comes, China can send troops to Soviet Russia, the Indochina Peninsula, and even India and the Middle East, and Ben can send troops to the South Pacific region and even Australia." This kind of strategic concept has appeared in the minds of the top brass more than once, but they also know that it is just an unrealistic illusion.

It is impossible to form an alliance, but it is relatively easy to win China's support for the country, and it is very simple for China to support the country, as long as it continues to maintain the supply of resources to the country, then it will be able to do without worry, once it occupies Indonesia and even the entire South Pacific region, then the resources of the South Ocean region will be able to supply the country in a steady stream, so that the country can completely get rid of its dependence on China's resources, and then it will be able to truly become a big country, with China to compete for hegemony in Asia.

"From the attitude of the Chinese, guaranteeing the supply of resources to us should not be a problem, after all, from another point of view, we are their shield, how can it be if we don't pay something!" Inoue Narumi said: "On the American side, the situation in Europe is so tense now, and Europe is much more important to the United States than Asia, even if the United States enters the war, it will definitely intervene in the European war first." Moreover, the interests of the United States in Asia lie in the Philippines, and as long as we promise not to touch the Philippines, they should not have the courage to declare war on us. ”

"There is a lot of isolationism in the United States right now, and there is serious opposition in the United States to sending troops to Europe, let alone in Asia!"

When Yamamoto Fifty-six said this, he showed ruthlessness: "As long as we can expand the living space of the nation, as long as we can obtain the resources and markets of the Nanyang region, our imperial navy will be fearless!" ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six's words made Mitsumasa Yonechi and Inoue Narumi also show a trace of ruthlessness, for the sake of the country and the nation, how can they not take risks, even if they know that the risk of entering Indonesia is very large, but they just want to gamble, bet that China will support Britain, France and the United States in order to contain Britain, France and the United States will support Ben, bet that the United States will not declare war on Ben because of Ben's invasion of Indonesia, and bet that Britain and France will not be able to take care of Indonesia's life and death because of the situation in Europe.

This is a gamble, and it is a gamble with great risks but also great benefits, and if Indonesia can be occupied, then it will be able to obtain a large amount of oil resources and rubber and other resources from the Indonesian region, so as to get rid of China, Britain, France, the Netherlands, and the United States oil dependence, which is very tempting for the future strategy of the country.

Although the risk was great, the strategy of attacking Indonesia was extremely feasible, because Ben was not as greedy as he was in the past, and did not have the idea of entering the Philippines and the British and French colonies, and only set his goal on the Indonesian archipelago. If it goes well, then it is very likely that this act of picking chestnuts in the fire will succeed.

In addition to the old battleships, there are two 45,000-ton high-speed battleships Yamato and Musashi, which were built in 1937 and launched this year, and will be commissioned in the near future. Due to the influence of the Chinese Navy, these two battleships did not build 60,000 or 70,000 tons of super battleships as in history, but built high-speed battleships with a speed of up to 30 knots.

In addition to the two cruiser converted aircraft carriers and the two Flying Dragon-class aircraft carriers in the early thirties, the Navy successively started construction of three aircraft carriers in 1936 and 1937, and the aircraft carrier of this class was the Xianghe-class, which was built at the end of last year, after the outbreak of the Great War in Europe. So the construction of a large aircraft carrier, that is, the Taiho.

In addition to these fleet aircraft carriers, the Navy also has some escort aircraft carriers and seaplane carriers, which can also be used as air fleet decisive battles when necessary.

He said: "The air power of this navy is actually second only to China."

Of course, China has more aircraft carriers than it says, and although four of the six existing aircraft carriers are old, in 1938, the Chinese Navy was determined to develop 20,000-ton large cruisers, and the two 16,000-ton heavy cruisers, which had already started construction to the halfway point, were suspended, and then continued to be built by the Navy as aircraft carriers, which were completed in 1939 and entered service in early 1940. The name of the ship still follows the rule of naming Chinese aircraft carriers with mountains and rivers, the first ship is named Qingchengshan, and the second ship is named Longhushan.

Because these two aircraft carriers are heavy cruisers, they are naturally some differences from the regular fleet aircraft carriers, which are shown to be faster and have better protection, but relatively speaking, the aircraft carrying capacity is less, only about 50 aircraft, but the speed of 34.5 knots makes them the fastest aircraft carriers in the Chinese Navy.

At present, the Chinese Navy is carrying out a refit program on several civilian merchant ships to further enhance the Navy's aviation strength, and these merchant ships were built by the Chinese Navy in the high-speed merchant ship program during the thirties, and the room for conversion into aircraft carriers was booked at the beginning of the design and construction, so the modification is also convenient, and the refit period will not be too long. After the successful refit, these modified aircraft carriers, with a displacement of about 20,000 tons, a speed of 256 knots, and a carrying capacity of 30 to 50 aircraft, will become escort aircraft carriers, providing escort for the transport fleet and supporting the fleet aircraft carriers to participate in the decisive battle of the fleet.

In the future, with the Qingshan-class and Tianshan-class aircraft carriers as the core, plus other aircraft carriers owned by China, it will be enough to make the Chinese Navy's world's largest aircraft carrier group proud of the world.

And it is said that although the aircraft carrier strength of this navy is inferior to that of the Chinese navy, it should not be underestimated, at least it is much stronger than the United States and the United Kingdom.

He said, "The strong strength of the navy even if they carried out the confidence guarantee of the South Sea strategy, and the continuous defeat of France in Europe injected a shot in the arm for the invasion of Indonesia."
