"Onishi-kun, Kuroshima-kun, what do you think?"

"Similar to what His Excellency the Commander thought, I also think that the military operation against Borneo should be temporarily suspended." Inside the aircraft carrier Soryu, looking at Yamamoto Isoroku who asked for his opinion, Onishi Takijiro pointed to Borneo and said: "The uprising in Borneo GCD has caused China's interference, and the Brunei oil fields are very likely to be controlled by China, unless we want to tear our faces with China, we can only watch the entire Brunei oil fields and the entire North Borneo being seized by China."

If you don't get the 1 million tonnes per year Brunei Siria oil field, it's not worth risking the 2nd Fleet for a low-production Balikpapan oil field. Therefore, I believe that we should first concentrate our efforts on seizing the Philippine Islands, Guam, and Wake Island, and wait for the First Air Fleet to complete its recuperation, and then carry out the Malaya and Dutch East Indies strategy. ”

Yamamoto looked at Kuroshima Turtle Man, who was known as the Immortal Counselor, and Kuroshima frowned: "But what if the Chinese take the entire Borneo before us?" He paused and said, "This armed uprising in the Borneo GCD happened very strangely, and the reaction of the Chinese South Sea Fleet was unusually fast. ”

Yamamoto smiled slightly bitterly, is there a cat behind the GCD uprising in Borneo, a discerning person can see it at a glance, but in this situation, Britain will go to compare with the Chinese for the sake of small North Borneo? Not to mention that the Chinese have also tried their best to make a big drama of planting bribes and bribes, even if they tear their faces and rob them, the British have to knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs!

As for Japan, it is even more out of line, Britain and the United States are already mortal enemies. If there is another war with China, will there be a chance of survival? Now not to mention that China has grabbed the whole of Borneo, even the Palembang oil field in Sumatra. Japan can only hold on to its nose and endure it.

"It's better if Chinese be willing to take the whole of Borneo," Onishi Takijiro held his hand to the edge of the chart platform, stared for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It would be better if they could take Sumatra, so that our oil supply would simply depend on China...... Unless he wants to see us wiped out by Britain and the United States, he will have to supply us with millions of tons of oil every year. And Borneo and Sumatra are in his hands, so we don't have to worry about wēixié in the west. It's time to concentrate your forces on Australia. It was an entire continent, and if it could be defeated, more than 50 million Japanese citizens would be relocated. It doesn't matter if the land is ceded to China. ”

"It's a dream." The Black Island Turtle Man shook his head and said, "Chinese are not really on our side, they and Britain are still allies in the common anti-Soviet Union, and the tricks they played in order to get North Borneo have already explained the problem...... I think at most they will take the whole of Borneo and will not touch Sumatra. He sighed and said to Yamamoto Fifty-six, "Your Excellency, Commander." The lowly also supported a moratorium on the offensive against Borneo. Let Borneo GCD and the Chinese make such a fuss, and the attention of the British must have been attracted to it. However, I am not in favor of the First Air Fleet returning to the mainland to recuperate, we should go to the Truk base to rest. ”

"To Truk?" After listening to Kuroshima's words, Yamamoto Fifty-six thought for a while and said, "Kuroshima-kun means to attack Australia?" ”

"No, not to attack Australia." The Black Island Turtle Man shook his head: "We can't reach Australia for the time being, but we can attack the British islands and New Guinea islands in the South Pacific, and lead the British Far East Fleet and the Australian Fleet to the South Pacific to fight us in a decisive battle!" ”

Yamamoto fifty-six squinted his eyes, and the sharp light flashed: "The island of New Guinea, the Bismarck Islands, and the Solomon Islands are the gateways to Australia. Australia was also a territory that the British Empire had to defend, so British naval power in the Pacific and the South Seas would be drawn to the South Pacific...... The South Seas side will be relatively empty. The 2nd and 3rd fleets have a chance, right? ”

"Yes, as long as we show our face near Truk Atoll, it will be much easier for the 2nd and 3rd fleets to attack in the South Sea."

"What if the British don't take the bait?"

"Then if we capture the Bismarck Archipelago and land in the north of the island of New Guinea at the same time, I don't believe that the British will really ignore Australia!" The Black Island Turtle Man's finger pressed the island of New Guinea in northeastern Australia.

Looking at the island of New Guinea on the map, Yamamoto Isoroku and Onishi Takijiro both took a deep breath, a flash of longing flashing in their eyes but quickly shook their heads again. "The island of New Guinea and the Bismarck Islands are more than 4,000 kilometers from the Japanese mainland, and intelligence indicates that the British have deployed nearly 80,000 defenders and hundreds of warplanes there, and that we will need at least 100,000 attacking troops to occupy them, and we do not have enough ships to transport that many troops...... Our ships were used to raid in the South Seas. Onishi Takijiro sighed.

"Report, Naval Command telegram."

As soon as Onishi's words fell, the communications staff officer interrupted this small meeting, and Yamamoto 56 took the telegram, and after reading it, the corners of his mouth twitched, showing a satisfied smile: "The 16th Division, under the cover of the 3rd Fleet, has successfully landed in Legazpi, Naga, and Dart in the south of Luzon and occupied the airfield, and the Philippine defenders are not vulnerable at all!" He paused and said, "In addition, Commander Kobayashi (the commander of the Japanese Red Navy, equivalent to the pre-revolutionary Navy Minister) also proposed to build yì, and wanted to transfer the 2nd Fleet and the 6th Division to the strategy of northern Luzon to carry out landings in Apari and Vigan. Commander Kobayashi also built the 1st Air Fleet and sailed to the Truk base to rest...... Kuroshima-kun, it seems that Commander Kobayashi and you are going to go soon. ”

In fact, it was not Kobayashi Takuzo and Kuroshima who thought of it together, but the decision made at the just-concluded emergency meeting of the Japanese Revolutionary Military Council implicitly coincided with Kuroshima's vision. Before the start of this meeting, the GC International Nanyang Bureau and the Japanese Central Committee had already discovered that there was a great deal of suspicion about the "uprising" of the GCD in Borneo. A secret radio station lurking in Bandar Seri Begawan reported about the capture of Brunei by the "Japanese army", and the Moscow headquarters of GC International also confirmed through special channels that the city of Bandar Seri Begawan was occupied by the "Japanese army".

After getting this information, Takeda Heng immediately realized that it was the Chinese who were fishing in troubled waters. Pretending to be the Japanese Red Army, the British drove away and captured Brunei! But knowing the truth does not mean revealing the truth, and all Takeda can do now is to "communicate" with the Chinese side. Yasuda Yasuo was immediately put on a plane to Nanjing to negotiate with Chang Ruiqing, wanting to suspend the delivery of South Korea as a condition. Ending the "controversy" in North Borneo. At the same time, Takeda was afraid that China would have to stretch out its hand to the Philippine Islands, so he wanted the 2nd Fleet to participate in the combat operation of attacking the Philippines, and as for the 1st Air Fleet to be stationed in Truk Atoll, it was built by Ishihara Waner, the first director of the Red Army's General Staff, in order to attract the main force of the British fleet back to defend Australia, so as not to reinforce the Philippines.

……

After arriving in Nanjing by plane. Yasuo Yasuda ignored the fatigue of the journey, and had a secret conversation with Zhang Guotao who came to greet him at the airport for about a quarter of an hour, and was taken by Zhang Guotao to the official residence of Prime Minister Tangshan.

Chang Ruiqing also did not hold any welcoming ceremony for the Japanese envoy. In his living room, he asked Sun Yuexun to make some Japanese-style refreshments, and then asked straight to the point, "Mr. Yasuda is here for the affairs of North Borneo, right?" I wonder how Chairman Takeda intends to resolve this matter? ”

"Prime Minister, it's not how Takeda Heng wants to solve it in North Borneo, it's how you want to solve it. Don't say a little Brunei. You just took the whole of British Malaya plus the Dutch East Indies, what can Takeda Hengyu do? At best, it was to turn the direction of expansion to Australia, and before his subordinates left Tokyo, Takeda had ordered the 1st Air Fleet to move towards Truk Atoll. Yasuo Yasuda replied with a smile on his face.

Today's meeting is nominally a "negotiation", but in fact there is really nothing to bargain with, not to mention that Yasuda was originally a spy under Zhang Guotao, even if it is not Yasuda, there is no card to play in Japan at the moment. The only thing you can do is to be able to hide if you can't afford it. If the Chinese want British Malaya and the Dutch East Indies, then Japan should turn to Australia.

After Yasuda revealed Japan's hole cards. Chang Ruiqing began to calculate in his heart. For China now, it is not impossible to seize British Malaya and the Dutch East Indies, at most it will offend Britain, but so what? Will the British go to war with China for a mere Malaya? This is obviously impossible, and if China can give Britain more support in India and the Middle East, the alliance between the two sides will not be affected. But is it really feasible to turn Japan to Australia? This question must be thought about clearly, in case Japan really defeats Australia, will it have the spare strength to take it from Japan?

No, Japan will definitely not be able to defeat Australia, because the United States has already entered the war, and Roosevelt, the old fox, will definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen. Moreover, Australia is too far away from Japan, and the logistics line of more than 4,000 kilometers is all exposed under the noses of British and American submarines and attack ships. Does China have to bear the cost of Japan's attack on Australia? In addition, Australia was no less important to Britain than India, and if Britain lost the battle to defend Australia, they would certainly seek American support at any cost. That'...... The United States will take over the world hegemony of the British Empire very smoothly!

Thinking that the United States would become the ultimate beneficiary of Japan's invasion of Australia, Chang Ruiqing's face sank, shook his head, and said: "You go back and sue Yasuda, my target is only North Borneo and East Kalimantan, because the residents of those two territories are dominated by Chinese, and I have the obligation to protect their property and life." As for the rest of the Malay Peninsula and the Dutch East Indies, I have no interest and only ask the Japanese authorities to protect the interests of the local Chinese. ”

Yasuo Yasuda had been in the Soviet Union for many years, and he was also an old acquaintance of Trotsky, and he had long compared Chang Ruiqing and Trotsky in his heart, and felt that his boss's political talent and statecraft far surpassed Trotsky's, but he was a little conservative on the issue of foreign expansion. Now that Japan has temporarily driven the main force of the US Pacific Fleet back to the west coast, the British Empire has let the Soviet Union fight only half a life, while China is strong and strong, and the strength of the navy, land and air forces is at its peak. Where would it be like Chang Ruiqing, swallowing a small Brunei to do so many tricks, this good deck of cards in his hands is really a bit of a waste.

Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart and replied unhurriedly, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister." Chairman Takeda also had a small condition, which he hoped would be able to postpone the delivery of South Korea for at least one year. ”

"This condition?" Chang Ruiqing squinted at Zhang Guotao, who was sitting next to him, and said in his heart: "What does Takeda mean?" Do you want to go back on not ceding South Korea? It's a bit of a hassle. While it would be easy for the National Defense Forces to defeat South Korea, now is not the time to weaken Japan. ”

Zhang Guotao smiled slightly and said to Chang Ruiqing: "Prime Minister, Shaoqing (Yasuo Yasuda) has already told his subordinates about this at the airport. The postponement of the delivery of South Korea was actually proposed by Shaoqing to Takeda Heng, not because Takeda Heng wanted to break the contract, but because of Shaoqing's serial plan. ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded, it's not that Takeda wants to break the contract. Otherwise, it's really a bit of trouble. But what does this serial scheme mean? He looked at Yasuo Yasuda. The latter smiled slightly and explained: "Prime Minister, the subordinate serial plan is a colonial serial plan that weakens the Japanese Yamato nation. The specific method was to colonize the Philippines and the East Indies with the Japanese people from the Japanese mainland, and then to immigrate to the Japanese mainland with Koreans from South Korea and the inhabitants of the Philippines and the East Indies. As a first step, all 8 million people from South Korea will be relocated to Japan, and another 10 million farmers from Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Yamaguchi, Hiroshima, Miyagi, Niigata, and Yamanashi prefectures will be relocated to the Philippines and the East Indies. The second step was to recruit 10 million laborers from the East Indies and the Philippines to Japan itself. At the same time, another 10 million people were relocated from the Japanese mainland to the East Indies and the Philippines. And in the two Great Migrations. The focus of the mobilization will be on Japan's samurai class and Japan's traditional elite conscription sites. ”

Is this an attempt to make Japan a multi-ethnic state? What are the benefits of Takeda doing this? Did he think that his Korean countrymen would support him more than the Japanese? Chang Ruiqing had a lot of question marks in his heart, so he put on a serious expression and thought about it.

Zhang Guotao, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly glanced at Yasuda, and Yasuda smiled and explained: "Don't hide it from the Prime Minister, in fact, such a policy of weakening and dispersing the power of the Yamato nation is beneficial to Yasuda and Japan's GCD, so they will gladly adopt it." The greatest wēixié of the reign of Takeda Heng and Nichig over the past almost 10 years did not come from the outside world, but precisely from traditional Japanese bushido culture! This culture has caused a considerable part of the Japanese people to be aggressive. and rename and die...... It is the true people who are not afraid of death!

Therefore, the Japanese were never able to establish a high-pressure rule similar to that of the Soviet GCD and the Polish GCD, and Takeda Heng had no way to turn himself into a Japanese Trotsky. Say something incredible. Although the oppression exerted by the Japanese in South Korea was far greater than that of the mainland, and no one knew that Takeda himself was a Korean, the obedience of the South Koreans to the Japanese and the worship of Takeda exceeded that of the Japanese, I don't know how many times! What the Japanese and the Japanese could not do on their own soil, they were able to do in South Korea, and they never met with any resistance. ”

It turned out that Takeda Heng and the Japanese high-level officials felt that the Japanese were too fierce and difficult to rule, so they wanted to get the most fierce people to Nanyang, and then migrate 10 million Shun people from South Korea and Nanyang to Japan. This policy of weakening the Juche nation in order to strengthen the stability of the regime seems to have been adopted by both the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia in history, and in the end, both countries fell apart because of the insufficient weakening of the Juche nation, which caused a backlash. I wonder if Takeda Heng and the Japanese GCD can succeed?

Without waiting for Chang Ruiqing to think about this problem clearly, Zhang Guotao leaned into his ear and reminded: "Prime Minister, I think Shaoqing's serial plan is good, if 55 million Japanese form a group, it is really not easy for us to destroy them." If 20 million of them can be dispersed to the South Seas, it will be much easier to deal with. And you can also use the Japanese to clean up the indigenous people of the Philippines and the East Indies, which can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone. ”

Chang Ruiqing was also moved by Zhang Guotao's words, this is indeed a good way, and he also seized the weakness of Takeda Heng and Rig who wanted to strengthen their rule and weaken the "counter-revolutionary samurai class". However, such a 20 million immigration plan is not so easy to complete, especially since Japan is still in wartime, and it seems that China will have to help. At least China's merchant ships can help transport migrants, and most of them have little to do because of the shrinking of international trade after the outbreak of the world war.

Thinking of this, Chang Ruiqing smiled, looked at Zhang Guotao and Yasuo Yasuda, the two big spies, and said with a smile: "That's a good idea...... I agreed to Takeda's request, and the delivery of South Korea could be postponed. In addition, Kaiyin, we should help with the immigration plan of the Japanese. The International Intelligence Agency can participate, and I'll get the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association to participate in the future. However, China's neutrality still needs to be maintained, and personnel and materials cannot be directly transported into or out of the Japanese-controlled areas. Let's transit between Korea and North Borneo, so that the logistical pressure on the Japanese side can be greatly reduced. ”

Hearing Chang Ruiqing's promise, Yasuda finally showed a happy smile on his face, and he knew that his mission this time was successfully completed. And whether it is Chang Ruiqing or Takeda, they will favor themselves because of this, which is probably the highest state of left and right.
