In the last months of 1941, the whole of Britain was eager to abolish the "evil" Anglo-American Washington Accord.

However, at present, the British have fallen to the fifth weak navy in the world, and how can they have the ability to confront the US navy, which is several times more powerful. Although Britain gritted its teeth against the "Anglo-American Washington Accord", it really did not have the courage to stand up and unilaterally abolish it, and could only use some small means in secret.

The biggest "small means" of the British was to lure the Japanese into Southeast Asia to fight the Americans, and in the process, the hapless Dutch became sacrifices on the table.

Ever since the Japanese sent a special envoy to the United Kingdom to discuss the topic of Kalimantan, the "enlightened" British tried in every possible way to drag the Japanese into the water, and after a round of bickering between the two sides, the British agreed to "maintain neutrality" on the Kalimantan issue.

But how is it possible to satisfy the hungry appetite of the Japanese on the island of Kalimantan?

If it had been in the past, without the Japanese "god" of "Yamato Nadeshiko" secretly guiding behind his back, seeing the incense bait released by the British, the short-sighted Japanese military headquarters would have been eager to bite into it, and then this triggered a series of chain reactions, which eventually led to the conflict between Japan and the United States.

But after Li Huamei colluded with the upper echelons to remind her, on this issue, Japan, which was originally hungry, suddenly learned to "wait patiently".

At that time, Li Huamei said to the high-ranking officials in Japan: "The timing of the empire's action is extremely important. To learn to strike later, the longer we wait, the more we get. ”

After the "collusion" between Britain and Japan was completed in March, the British waited left and right, but they could not wait for the "incident" of the Japanese to stir up trouble on Kalimantan Island. The time dragged on until October, and the British themselves could not bear it anymore and took the initiative to ask the Japanese. The reply was: "The U.S. Navy is too strong, and if it really forcibly occupies Kalimantan, it may trigger a sensitive war for the Americans."

The British envoy in charge of the negotiations. When I heard this reply, I suddenly felt a thousand grass and mud horses running by in my heart. Because until 1941. There were still 60,000 Japanese troops in the Malay Peninsula who refused to leave. The Japanese, who stretched their hands too long, had long been at odds with the US Navy in Southeast Asia.

After nearly seven months of fermentation, the current British government has become more and more unable to tolerate the countless American goods wreaking havoc in their colonies. 、

By November 9, 1941, with the two armored aircraft carriers INS Victory and INS Indomitable commissioned, and the five George V-class battleships nearing completion, the British government felt more and more about how glaring the humiliating Anglo-American Warsaw Agreement was.

But the British government at this time was threatened by the German Navy. "Uncle Sam", who still doesn't have the courage to provoke the horror, can only play the trick of killing people with a knife, just like the Russo-Japanese War in history.

British politicians have not failed to see that the hostility between the United States and Japan is constantly increasing. During the visit of the Japanese envoy to Britain in March 1941, the question of the return of the advance payment for the expulsion of the ten ships cancelled by the British and Japanese was discussed. Of course, the black-hearted Japanese were tempted to swallow the advances in the name of "default", but the poor British were extremely unwilling. As a result of the discussions between the two sides, the British government sold a batch of high-tech coveted by the Japanese, and Japan returned part of the money.

As a result, during the months that the British "silently" waited, a large number of technologies were sold to the United States. It was also packaged and sold to the Japanese. After receiving the technical information of the British government in their left and right hands, the Japanese turned around and traded with the Germans for re-exchange.

As Li Huamei said, Japan is in this matter. The more patient they are, the more anxious the British will be, and the more they will get out of it.

Since appearing in front of Japan's high-level officials, Li Huamei's prediction of the international shape has always been surprisingly accurate in the past few years. Relying on Li Huamei's prediction, Japan has made a lot of windfalls in recent years.

The most recent windfall came from the assassination of Hitler, which triggered a short-term sharp rise in the US stock market. Beforehand, Li Huadi reminded the Japanese top leaders headed by the emperor that such a shift in Germany to the left would inevitably lead to violent turmoil. Under the chain reaction, it will inevitably lead to violent fluctuations in the US stock market.

Be reminded by her. A month before the incident, several chaebols in Japan. At the time of the assassination, the Japanese side, at Li Huamei's strong request, immediately threw away all the stocks it had previously purchased, thus earning a lot of votes.

At that time, some people in Japan greedily did not want to throw it out, but Li Huamei bluntly said to them: "This is probably a farce written and directed by Hitler", which directly dispelled the thoughts of these people, and a series of events that occurred afterwards also once again proved how accurate the prophetic ability of the god "Yamato Nadeshiko" is.

Under Li Huamei's strong intervention, the Japanese dragged on and on the war against Kalimantan Island until the British couldn't help but jump out and urge.

Seeing that the Japanese did not dare to provoke the United States, the British, who could no longer bear the "Anglo-American Washington Accord," finally took the initiative to come to the door in November of that year, made more promises, and vigorously encouraged Japan to forcibly occupy the Dutch colony. At that time, when the British diplomat met the emperor and mentioned the matter, his attitude could be described as "the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry".

When the British envoys met with the emperor, in addition to the Dutch Indonesia issue, another topic they discussed was the cooperation between Britain and Japan to use the Strait of Malacca as a wall to prevent American forces from entering the Bay of Bengal.

When the British envoy secretly met with the Emperor, Nadeshiko Yamato was staying at the Yokosuka shipyard in Yokojin, helping to speed up the construction of the battleship Shinano, the second ship of the Yamato-class (the original second ship, the Musashi, was built according to the standards of a supercarrier from the beginning, and the serial number was vacated, and the original third ship, the Shinano, became the second ship).

Although she was not in Tokyo, the emperor opened a special wired telephone for Li Huamei in the shipyard in Yokosuka, and informed her of the contents of the secret conversation with the British envoy at any time.

In order to bring Japan to their side, the British offered to give the Japanese all the islands of Rikalimantan and Sulawesi in the Dutch Indonesian region, while the British themselves took a fancy to the islands of Sumatra and Java.

The British, who were as hungry as the Japanese, also wanted to cut flesh from the Dutch to replenish their lost vitality. The British could not afford to provoke the mighty bald eagle, but bullied a small country like the Netherlands. Still full of confidence.

Chapter 343 The United States, which is isolated and helpless, is the enemy of the whole world

In the old colonial era before World War I, the sun never set on the empire with the largest navy in the world at that time. Therefore, there are two reasons why it can tolerate the Netherlands, a small country with "boogers", in Southeast Asia.

One is that the sun never sets at this time, and the empire encloses territory all over the world. has long been eaten to the point of "hard to eat".

The second is the state of "I can't eat it, but I still have to find someone who can calm down to help occupy this pit and prevent others from robbing it". The country of the Netherlands, the wonderful thing is that it is a "small country with a booggy", even if it occupies a large colony of Indonesia, it will not pose any threat to a large colony of the nearby empire on which the sun never sets. There was the Dutch "helping" to squat in the pit here to take up a place, and the British were very relieved. In order to maintain the interests here, the British signed a treaty with the Netherlands, and the British came forward to guarantee the interests of the Dutch here. The fundamental reason is not because the British are Lei Feng, but to prevent other powerful countries from interfering here.

But the "friendliness" of the British towards the Dutch lasted only until 1941. After the defeat of the war in 1940, the British lost a large number of colonies in India and Pakistan, and the Americans took advantage of the danger to put a "vampire vine" around their necks. The British, who urgently need to suck blood to regain their vitality, do not have the courage to directly tear up the "Anglo-American Washington Accord" and resist the bloodsucking of the Americans.

The elites of the Attlee government, open the map and take a look. In the colonies of the world, the soft persimmons they could gnaw on, now only the Dutch family remains.

There was a precedent of plotting against the French Navy, an ally. The European-stirring countries, which have long been exhausted, have long since had no psychological obstacles to black hands on their allies.

There was a treaty between Britain and the Netherlands, and when the British were a little embarrassed to openly tear their faces at them, and were pretending to hesitate, the Japanese first came to the door for the Dutch colony, and the British government was overjoyed to have someone to do the dirty work for them.

But Japan, a second-year boy who has been in secondary school for decades, suddenly became less greedy and stupid. After waiting for more than eight and a half years, the British were stunned and refused to take action. The Japanese repeatedly expressed themselves to the British. Once smoke ignites in Southeast Asia, it is very likely to trigger the intervention of the US Navy. So in order to do something to the Dutch, the Japanese side needed the commitment of the British. He promised that in the event of a war between the United States and Japan, the British government would stand on Japan's side.

However, the British, who had been emboldened by the war in Europe, were like rich landowners in the countryside, and they wanted to do and were very good at inciting others to fight to the death, but they could not muster the courage to go to war with the Yankees, who had more war potential than the Germans.

In the past six months, the British have stood behind the Japanese, constantly lobbying and encouraging the Japanese to take the lead first, but the Japanese who provoked the head, except for the initial temptation, shrank back like eggs, and refused to bite the hook lightly.

With Li Huamei's reminder, the Japanese guessed the bottom line of the British, although the Japanese side had long coveted the Dutch colony in their hearts, but before they started, they wanted to squeeze as much benefit as possible from the British.

On the evening of 25 November, half a month after the British envoy arrived in Tokyo, the Mikasa Palace, where Emperor Takahito lived, quietly drove into a mysterious car after 10 o'clock that night, and a distinguished guest was the Lady Yamato Nadeshiko, the patron saint of Japan.

Half an hour earlier, Mikasa Palace, including the Emperor, the Prime Minister, the Sea Minister, the Land Minister, and the Commander of the Combined Fleet had gathered all respectfully awaiting the arrival of Yamato Nadeshiko.

Today's Li Huamei, when she appeared, was once again traveling alone as before. When she stepped out of the chariot that the emperor had prepared for her, eight Shinto shamans led the way, scattering flowers, and then she stepped on the petal-paved road all the way to the council chamber of Mikasa.

This kind of extravagant and stinky ceremony was not requested by Li Huamei on his own initiative. It is the state religion of Japan, and the Shinto gang of gods came up with their own brains in order to please His Excellency "Yamato Nadeshiko" and make her more "sacred".

After entering the council chamber of Mikasagu Palace, Li Huamei and Chong Rentian knelt side by side on a Japanese-style tatami mat, and a Shinto shrine maiden made a good cup of tea for her.

Li Huamei asked straight to the point: "Did you get what we wanted?" ”

"Got it. Got it all! ”

Emperor Takahito, with an excited face, handed over a list of the latest technologies that the British had decided to resell to Japan as he spoke. The first of these is aero-engine technology.

In order to provoke the Japanese to rush to the front to resist the infiltration of American forces for them, they deliberately harbored the British who had been hiding. After waiting for half a year, I finally came up with a real thing.

In addition to the liquid-cooled Merlin engine technology sold to Japan and the related engine production line, the British also sold the Centaur air-cooled engine technology to Japan this time, and these two technologies are not only coveted by the Japanese for a long time, but even Germany, a technological power in the eyes of the Japanese, is also red-eyed.

Which country was the first in aero engine technology in World War II?

Not the United States. It is not Germany, but the old imperialist country, Britain, which can be called a typical example of liquid-cooled air-cooling. Even Germany, which now has the help of the traversers, does not dare to claim to be superior to Britain in this respect.

Li Huamei glanced at the list of technology transfers and asked, "What does the German side say?" ”

Prime Minister Mitsumasa Michime replied: "They are willing to exchange jet engines, as well as BMW801 engines, for the engine design of the British." ”

"That's good, the technology exchange action should be fast, we are running out of time."

A group of high-ranking officials in the room www.biquge.info Li Huamei and said that after seeing the miraculous results achieved by the German Navy with the blessing of the ship's spirit, the prospects for the US-Japan war are now optimistic in Japan. From inferiority complex to self-confidence, there was a 180-degree reversal. In front of them, Li Huamei, an external undercover agent's "cautious and cautious", seemed a little conservative.

Li Huamei asked again: "The problem of the universality of the navy and the army's armament has been almost solved now, right?" ”

The sea and land phases blush together. Then he nodded and said, "After coordination, it has basically been resolved." ”

One of the biggest problems of the Japanese army during World War II was the contradiction between land and sea. Although there are contradictions between different arms of the armed forces on land and sea in various countries because of the competition for military spending, there is no other situation where the contradictions are so huge as Japan's. For example, the bolts used in aircraft, the Navy is one specification, and the Army is another, in order to show the difference, the two sides even rotate in completely opposite ways, as for what Army made the Army Naval Corps. Not to mention the "funny things" that the Navy made such things as the Marine Corps.

However, these problems were successful in Li Huamei's undercover Japan. After the high-level management of Noh Tong Guò directly influenced Japan's national policy, it began to reverse.

Li Huamei was so "kind" to "aid Japan". In fact, she and Lin Han knew very well how huge the gap in strength between the Japanese and the American ghost animals was -- this gap was ten times the difference. In order to make the United States shed more blood through Japan, after China recovered Northeast China, Lin Han's family also worked very hard to help Japan improve its strength.

Li Huamei asked again: "What is the situation of the imitation of the M2 machine gun?" ”

"The production line has already begun production, the first batch of 200 M2 machine guns has been equipped with the Navy, and the 500 M2 aviation machine guns sent by the German side have also been put in place."

The 500 American-made M2 aviation machine guns from Germany were trophies of the German Navy during the European War last year. This batch of aviation machine guns was mainly from the P39 Flying Snake and supplementary spare parts. The American-made M2 aviation machine gun has a caliber of 12.7 mm, which is not the same as the German 13 mm. So the Germans sold all the aviation machine guns and captured bullets to the Japanese at a very cheap price. Along with the aviation machine guns, 20 captured P39 and P40 fighters were also sent to the Japanese, so that they could familiarize themselves with the specific performance of American aircraft.

In order to "help Japanese friends", the Germans, who broke heads with the Japanese in China a few years ago, are now generously sending good things to Japan. In addition to exchanging its own engines, aircraft guns, and technology with Japan, it also sent American equipment captured in the Atlantic Ocean to Japan ship by ship in the name of "war surplus materials." This year alone, the Japanese side received a full 150 M2 light tanks from the Germans at a price not much higher than scrap metal. For the bitter Japanese Army, these tanks that the German Army looked down upon were already advanced weapons that made them "burst into tears".

The Northeast Incident, the robbery of the gold of the Mukden Bank, the rifle used by the SS special forces at that time was a 6.5 mm caliber G32 semi-automatic rifle. Afterwards in order not to allow the Soviets to get the design of this rifle. The Germans have not been able to provide assistance to these rifles with 6.5 mm bullets*.

As a result, these rifles, which had been held in the hands of the Germans, became "aid to Japan" materials after many years. Directly as a "plus" to that arms deal, it was given to the Japanese in vain.

"Targeted training of the aviation forces on the performance of the P39 and P40. How's the preparation? ”

Yamamoto replied: "We have been using the planes sent by Germany for the past three months, and we have been conducting air combat simulation training, and our Zero will not have a problem dealing with these two aircraft." ”

"The advantage of the Zero will not last long, and after we get the engine technology sent by the British, we must quickly digest it, and the development of new fighters must keep up."

Sitting among the high-ranking officials of the devils, including the emperor, these Japanese elites now admire His Excellency "Yamato Nadeshiko" to the ground. And the young Emperor Chonghito even had the idea of excessive "superstition".

In 1939, under the persuasion of Li Huamei, Emperor Takahito asked the Kwantung Army to voluntarily abandon the northeast and return it to China, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction within the Japanese army. The few officers of the Japanese Army who knew about Yamato Nadeshiko Cun Zài even thought that she was a bewitch who bewitched the Lord.

But then a series of wars broke out in Europe, but these army red deer, who were most hostile to Li Huamei, slowly became convinced of her.

All the Japanese here know very well that it is precisely because they spit out this piece of "puffer fish meat" in northeast China in time. It was only in the European war that broke out a few months later that Japan was able to free up its hands and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune in the war, and even more successfully hammered a nail in Southeast Asia. If you refuse to give up the Northeast at that time. Still entangled there, and continuing to be mired in this terrible quagmire of war, how can Japan be as it is now, between the British, American, and German forces, and reap the benefits.

Not to mention anything else, just by accurately foreseeing the outbreak of the war in Europe, the Japanese government speculated in the stock market and the international futures market in advance, and this alone has made huge profits like sky-high numbers, so Japan now has the ability to build a large-scale naval army. And that's what it looks like. And in this feast caused by the European war, there were more than a dozen high-ranking officials of Japanese devils present. Before the war, they also invested their own private money in the U.S. stock market, and each of them made a small profit.

No one will hate the God of Wealth, who has brought great benefits to him.

When Li Huamei first arrived in Japan three years ago. At that time, there were still many people in the Japanese top who were secretly hostile to her, but now there are no more of these people.

After entering Mikasa Palace, Li Huamei asked more than a dozen questions one after another, all about Japan's current preparations for war, and after receiving satisfactory answers. She nodded slowly and finally concluded:

"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must be investigated."

This is the opening words of Sun Tzu's Art of War, after Li Huamei said this,

"If the empire wants to expand its sphere of influence in Southeast Asia, it will inevitably have a war conflict with the Americans. The battle was going to be difficult and arduous, and I couldn't afford not to be cautious. ”

All the high-ranking officials of the Japanese military department here understood what she meant, and they nodded their heads together.

"In the past year, the reason why I have repeatedly asked for the delay of the empire to go to war is because the international situation is not yet suitable for the empire and the United States to be enemies, but now, the time is ripe."

In the past six months, they who have been even more "confident" than Li Huamei, even the calmest of the three Ben Fifty-six, have been full of confidence that the Japanese Navy is capable of defeating the United States in the Pacific. They repeatedly asked the emperor to raid the U.S. Navy, but they were always blocked back on Li Huamei's side on the grounds that the time was not ripe.

But today, Li Huamei finally relented.

Li Huamei asked:

"In the 38th year of the Meiji era (referring to 1905), during the Sun-Lu War, Lucia's national strength and military strength were ten times that of the empire, but why did the war end in a great victory for the empire?"

Mitsumasa Minai said: "That's because the Lucia army is a labor expedition, and the imperial army is recuperated and ready to work, so it can be broken in one blow." ”

Li Huamei shook her head and said: "Not only that, the most important reason is that Lucia at that time was actually the enemy of the whole world with the power of one country!" ”

The Japanese high-ranking officials in the room were slightly stunned at first, and then nodded in unison: "Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi's diplomatic methods in the past are indeed impressive. ”

During the Russo-Japanese War, Japan, a weak country at the time, was able to defeat Russia in the Far East, which was inseparable from the blood transfusion of Britain and the United States behind the scenes, and Germany, which seemed to be friendly to Russia at that time, had its army to contain Russia in Europe. As for France, Russia's ally, it was only neutral at the time.

Li Huamei's eyes widened, and her gaze swept over the people in the room one by one, and then she said loudly:

"At that time, the Russian steam rollers seemed to be powerful, but in fact they were isolated and helpless. The empire seems to be weak, but it has many friends, which is the real reason for the empire's final victory. In addition to the reason why the empire's sea and land are not fully ready, the more important factor is "

As she spoke, Li Huamei slapped the table hard, and with a palm print, the thick wooden table was actually cracked by her palm.

Looking at the tea that had been splashed on the table, Li Huamei said:

"Wait for the United States to emerge in a situation where the United States is isolated and the whole world is the enemy! This strategic shape, we have finally arrived! ”

As soon as these words came out, many high-ranking Japanese officials in the room admired Li Huamei together.

In the last two months of 1941, with the intensification of the conflict between Britain and the United States because of colonial trade, the Americans at this time were really in a state of isolation from the enemy of the world.

For the sake of their own colonial interests, the British wished that the Japanese would jump out at this time and cut each other with the Americans, so as to reap the benefits of the fishermen, and now they are encouraging Japan to send troops to provoke the United States, and the most enthusiastic person is the British.

Needless to say, Germany is now the "own store" "opened" by Lin Han's family. Its foreign strategic national policy is completely controlled by the personal will of Lin Han's family. In Japan, even ordinary people know that Germany and the United States are now hostile to each other. In the past few months, the British envoy has been a frequent visitor to Mikasa, but the German ambassador has also been running to Mikasa Palace twice in three days. Both Britain and Germany now regard Japan as a sharp knife for slicing flesh and bleeding the Americans, just as it did during the Dew War.

The intentions behind the sale of technology by the British and the cheap sale of arms by the Germans are already evident.

China in Asia has also recently shown "goodwill" to Japan, and this year China has exported a batch of precious and rare minerals to Japan, as well as a large amount of tungsten. And in September this year, a small town called Datong, located in the Songnen Plain in northeast China, developed a high-yield oil field. After negotiations with Japan, the Chinese side agreed to export one million tons of oil to Japan every year for the next two years. The Chinese side has kindly stated that its export efforts will increase as domestic oil production increases. Japan's other "neighbor" in the Far East, the Soviet Union, also showed great "goodwill" in the export of minerals and oil.

In the course of diplomatic mediation with these two countries, the Japanese side found that both China and the Soviet Union had the idea of pushing the tide of trouble to the east, and they vigorously encouraged Japan to move south and eastward, and in the future war with the United States, these two countries at least would not drag their feet behind the scenes.

On November 25, the fuse of the Pacific War was ignited in Mikasanomiya, Japan.
