Chapter 788: Military Parade Deterrence

In a way, the new Leopard tank unveiled at the parade was an improved version of the historical Russian T-44: it moderately increased the slightly small interior space, and changed the turret shape to the semi-ovate shape of the T-54, thus eliminating the presence of ammunition in the front of the turret. Coupled with a 105mm L52 gun with a depression angle of 8 degrees, and strong armor with only 15mm thinner than the Tiger on the sides of the hull, this type of vehicle has achieved the perfect balance of performance and cost, and is the absolute first choice of the German Army's new generation of main tanks!

There was a high-pitched roar in the sky, like a giant train speeding towards it with a long whistle; Several black dots rapidly grew larger at low altitude, and then over the square of the palace, their resolute and elegant winged body like a dragon eagle appeared. The Germans, who were staring into the air with their necks raised, erupted in exclamation, and their arms began to point to the sky; Because they were shocked to find that these fighters not only adopted a new shape with wings and fuselage, but also could not find a propeller above and below the fuselage! After a brief moment of shock and stunned, the crowd erupted in a loud cheer: this never-before-seen flying machine is owned by its own country, and this undoubtedly proves that the scientific and technological strength of its own army has reached a new level!

A short time later, several warplanes whizzed over the square in front of the palace. These aircraft have a distinct fuselage-wing distinction, but still don't have any propellers; The people, who knew a little bit about the flight mechanism, were puzzled by the source of power for these fighters, and their faces were full of surprise and doubt. Seeing these divine eagles across the sky, the corners of Qingying's mouth were filled with a smile of pleasure: with his full support. Germany's jet fighters have moved from drawing designs to blue skies. And in today's military parade, it surprised the four with its revolutionary breakthrough in technology. Both the Twin-Engine Fighter-Bomber Go-229 in the shape of a flying wing. or the single-engine fighter Ta-183, which has just skimmed over the square, its performance far exceeds that of its current piston counterparts who are currently the main force in the Air Force; With the passage of time and the pouring of money, the few flaws in the engine life and other mechanics of the two prototypes will also be completely cured by the efforts of the technicians.

"General Suyamamoto, what do you think of the equipment and military appearance of the German Empire?" When the crow-like figure of the Ta-183 disappeared from view, Qingying turned her head and smiled at a short old man in a gorgeous ribbon beside her. Different from the appearance of everyone around him, the old man standing next to Qingying had a typical Asian yellow face. It was none other than the Japanese War Minister Motoyama, who recently visited Germany for exchanges. At this moment, his small mung bean-like eyes were staring blankly at the direction in which the German fighter plane disappeared without blinking, and when he heard Qingying's words, he woke up like a dream, and replied respectfully with admiration and admiration from his heart: "Your country's science and technology are the best in the world, and Japan is far from being able to reach it." We are glad that your country is our ally, not our enemy. ”

"I hope that your country will always regard Germany as a friend and maintain the present peaceful situation." Qing Ying looked at the foreign general in front of him with a look like substance, and said in a calm tone. Shan Yuan was slightly stunned, feeling that the other party seemed to mean something else. His mind was racing, and he already understood the slightly warning voice of the monarch in front of him.

In the Houston peace talks, which have just ended. Japan was at odds with Germany's will in a number of areas: the base camp not only demanded the annexation of Hawaii, which had hitherto remained unconquered, but also wanted to acquire a portion of the West Coast of the United States in order to firmly assert its absolute hegemony in the Pacific. In addition, China's appetite for post-war reparations is also staggering: the base camp has proposed to obtain 30 percent of the huge indemnity payments from the United States, a total of more than 400,000 tons of naval warships, and intends to acquire all the cutting-edge technology of the United States in nuclear weapons, radar machinery, and aircraft engines. The Tokyo government wanted to make up for its economic, military, and technological disadvantages over the world's top countries in the economic, military, and technological fields, and thus become the second largest country in the world after Germany and far ahead of the rest of the world.

Such an appetite was clearly not acceptable to Germany, which dominated the war. Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Newwright immediately lodged a stern protest to the Japanese delegates: While German bombers had already dropped nuclear bombs over American cities, the Japanese navy was still on patrol in Hawaii, thousands of kilometers away from the US mainland, and Japan had absolutely no reason to receive such a high reward in terms of its vital contribution to the battlefield. It took Germany more than a year, untold quantities of material and wealth, to project its power across the ocean, from South America to the interior of North America, and deserved an absolute share of the post-war returns. However, the Japanese side insisted that it was precisely because of its containment of American power in the Pacific that the United States was unable to devote all its strength to the Eastern Front, thus greatly promoting and benefiting Germany's victory. It can be said that Japan made an indelible contribution to the victory of this war, and these current demands are completely within the scope of reason.

After a fierce game, Newright finally made some concessions under the instructions of Qing Ying: the clause in the Houston Peace Treaty for the Japanese occupation of California was the most obvious illustration of Germany's territorial satisfaction. In addition, Japan received as much as 25 percent of the war reparations and 300,000 tons of naval warships, including four Essex-class aircraft carriers, which undoubtedly far exceeded the benefits of Austria-Hungary and Italy, which also sent troops to assist Germany in the war effort, and both Vienna and Rome complained about this situation. The only thing Germany did not allow Japan to succeed in was the latter's demands in the field of science and technology. Since Germany took the lead in invading the United States, those cutting-edge talents, archives, and core equipment have long been looted under the sweep of the German Army's orderly organization and clear division of labor; Especially in the treatment of the Manhattan base, the German army moved the entire scientific research base to the bottom, even the graphite moderation reactor with a very high radiation dose. When the Japanese came to the United States across tens of thousands of kilometers, they were left with nothing but empty factories; The Japanese, who were taken first by the other party, could only suffer this dumb loss, and in the end they got very little.

Although the fact that Japan had not been able to claim a piece of the pie with their European allies on the corpse of the British Empire because of their entry into the war, they had undoubtedly made a lot of money. From north of Dutch Indochina to west of California, nearly 100 million square kilometers of the ocean are firmly occupied by plaster-flagged fleets. Encouraged by such a brilliant victory, the Japanese base camp, which had tasted the sweetness of the war, was already eager for such low-risk and high-return actions; According to the latest information from the German military attaché in Japan, the other side has already begun planning the next war, and its hypothetical targets are the vast areas to the west and south - Siberia, which declared independence from the collapsed Russian Empire in 1914, the ancient eastern states bordering Korea, and Dutch Indochina, south of the Philippines, are all within Japan's strategic targets!

For Germany, an insatiable and conscriptive Japan was definitely not a situation it wanted. This would not only destabilize the situation in East Asia as a whole, but would also put Japan at risk of becoming a real superpower. Once its ambitions for Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity succeed, the land, population, and resources under its control will be able to rival those of Germany. And if in time they assimilate and absorb all the occupied territories, a behemoth will appear in the East, and its power will be a tricky existence even in the eyes of Germany!

For these reasons, Qing Ying specially invited the visiting Japanese Army General Suiyama Gen to attend the military parade, intending to play a deterrent role in striking the mountain and shaking the tiger and deterring Japan's possible post-war expansion. Germany's current military strength is by no means comparable to that of Japan, so it is better for Japan to respect the will of Berlin and not to make any reckless moves in the Far East; Germany had already tolerated Japan once in the Houston Peace Treaty, and the next time there would not be such a good situation. The reason why Qingying chose Suyama Moto, is because he attaches great importance to and single-handedly promotes the development of the Japanese Army Aviation during his tenure; When he saw the German jet fighter without a propeller, the shock in his heart would be stronger than that of any Japanese general!

"The Empire of Japan will always be committed to deepening its friendship with your country." Suyama replied in a tone full of respect. Qingying smiled and did not say anything more on this topic. The Japanese in front of them have already understood the meaning of their words, and as for whether the gang of war-cancerd guys in the Japanese base camp can learn their way back from this, it all depends on their creation. If they choose to follow the moderate line, then Qingying will not start a new war; And if he insists on going straight to the black along the path of military expansion, Qingying can only start another war to completely remove this last unstable factor from the world stage.

In terms of the choice of means of war against Japan, Qingying did not completely count on conventional means. The ideology of the Japanese people is fundamentally different from that of the United States, and it is their highest honor to die for the emperor. On the other side, thousands of Japanese youths were involved in special offensive operations aimed at destroying the enemy, and even after the end of the war, the Japanese military was determined to defend its homeland, using the so-called "100 million jade fragments" to fight the Allies to the end. Germany's current technological reserves already made it possible for him to quickly end the war with Japan in a simpler and more terrifying way. (To be continued......)
