The deputy prime minister of Thailand's Khan Song cabinet, Shinawatra, with the help of the Scholar Army, overthrew Kham Song's rule and established the "Red Cabinet", and the Thai government and China formed an alliance, followed by the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in India, Wavell, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Graduate Army held a press conference in Bangkok to release the "Bangkok Talks Minutes...... These news reached Tokyo intermittently, and immediately caused an uproar in Japanese military circles. Under pressure, Mitsumasa Yonechi telegraphed and reprimanded Yamamoto, ordering him to fully occupy Burma within three months in order to open up a western front against China, and at the same time sent a note to the Thai government, threatening the "Red Cabinet" to sever all diplomatic relations with China, otherwise it would regard Thailand as a hostile country.

Not to mention how Shinawatra responded to the Japanese threat, on June 21, Toshiichiro Koizumi, the headquarters of Yamamoto in Singapore, arrived here from Sumatra. Koizumi rushed over to see Yamamoto in such a hurry because he had sensed his hesitation in carrying out his strategy toward the United States from the previous telegrams. Yamamoto was quite strange about his unannounced coming, and Koizumi said straight to the point when he explained his intention: "Your Excellency, I am here to witness one thing with you. ”

Yamamoto was even more curious and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Tomorrow, tomorrow something earth-shattering will happen in Europe," Koizumi said mysteriously.

Kazurin Yamamoto asked, "Does it have anything to do with the Empire?" ”

"Of course. Your Excellency, what is your view on the current situation in the world? ”

When Koizumi mentioned this topic, Yamamoto became angry, and he said in a calm tone: "I don't have an opinion on the situation in the world, but I am very worried about the situation in Southeast Asia. The base camp has limited us to occupy Burma within three months, but with the current combat strength of our army, it will not be easy to achieve this goal. ”

Yamamoto has recently changed his attitude towards himself, and Koizumi already feels it, but he doesn't care about it. He still maintained a respectful enough tone and said, "Your Excellency, the people in the base camp don't know the actual situation here, so you don't need to pay attention to them at all. I have good news for you, the Dutch oil wells in Sumatra have all returned to normal production, and the refineries have all resumed production. Your Excellency, in three months at most, the Empire will be self-sufficient in fuel. Your Excellency, when we take the Philippines, in the Far East, there will be no one who will be able to resist the pace of imperial expansion. ”

The fact that the United States has cut off oil supplies to Japan is the biggest concern of the Japanese people, and under such circumstances, Koizumi's "good news" is worthy of its name. It seems that it was not until this time that he saw that Koizumi was still sticking to the mud, and Yamamoto said with a slightly gentle face: "Koizumi-kun has worked hard." ”

"Everything is for the future of the empire, this is what the humble duty should do," Koizumi bowed his head and said respectfully, raised his head to look at Yamamoto, and the topic returned to "tomorrow", he said: "Your Excellency, for the current pattern of the world, the lowly position has a little unfavorable opinion, and please give guidance - Your Excellency, if you compare the current pattern of the world to a game of chess, then among the countries in the current world, only Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and Germany are qualified to settle on it, and then our Great Japanese Empire." So far, neither the USSR nor the USA have joined, but tomorrow the pattern will be broken-"

Yamamoto was taken aback, stood up and said, "What do you mean, Germany will attack the Soviet Union?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you have any of the above?"

"No, that's why I'm here to witness it to you."

Suddenly remembering the identity of Koizumi Traveler, Yamamoto looked at him and asked, "This is the history of that time and space?" ”

"Yes."

"But don't you say that many things have changed? This plane—"

"Your Excellency, some things have changed, but the general direction of history will not change. For example, the war between Japan and the United States. ”

"According to you, won't the empire be doomed in the end?"

"That's why we need to strike first, and we can't repeat the mistakes of the past."

Yamamoto was silent - the war was not over, but it was a pain in the coffin to learn that the side was going to lose.

Koizumi continued the previous topic and said carefully: "Compared with Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, and Japan, Italy and China can only be regarded as pawns with a certain sense of autonomy at best, and this is the fundamental reason why I have asked the base camp to suspend the offensive against China and shift the center of the war to the Indian Ocean. For the empire to truly rise, both the United States and the Soviet Union must be defeated. As for Britain, if the United States were defeated, it would have no other way but to surrender to Germany and the Reich. So strictly speaking, only the empire and Germany, the United States and the Soviet Union are really qualified to fall on this big chessboard. ”

"And what about the Cadet Army?" Yamamoto reminded of what happened to the Marines in Thailand during this time.

Koizumi smiled reservedly: "Your Excellency, China is not qualified to fall on the chessboard, what can a warlord army in China turn upside down?" Yes, the Cadet Army is in the limelight at the moment, but that's because we can't concentrate on attacking him. Once we've dealt with the strongest enemy and we've been able to free up our hands, isn't it the same as pinching an ant to death to deal with the Cadet Army? ”

Koizumi had already made an incisive discussion on the issue of the Cadet Army, and Yamamoto remembered his argument about the speed of development, and his mind became lively again.

"Your Excellency, there is actually good news about the US strategy."

"What?"

"Do you remember the Super Bomb I mentioned to you?"

Yamamoto immediately understood, after all, some time ago, the U.S. government had lodged a strong protest with Japan about this matter.

Koizumi said: "Although their operation did not succeed, they killed Oppenheimer and Teller, and in this case, although there is no guarantee that the Americans will not be able to develop a super bomb, there must be some delays in time." And if Germany develops a super bomb before the United States, it will be difficult to say the final outcome of this world war. Your Excellency, in any case, we must annihilate the Pacific Fleet before the Americans even notice it, and the sooner the better. Your Excellency, Ouyang Yun must also know this, if he reports to the Americans, whether the Americans believe it or not, they will definitely raise their vigilance, and even if we want to do it, we won't have a chance......"

While Yamamoto and Koizumi were waiting for June 22 to arrive, Ouyang Yun was also waiting.

Except for those in the know, the two of them knew what was going to happen tomorrow. Of course, before the German blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union became a fact, they had some apprehension in their hearts.

As far as Koizumi is concerned, he wants to strengthen Yamamoto's determination to agree with his strategic vision of the United States, so his mood is particularly uncalm. As for Ouyang Yun, he was not sure what scale the butterfly effect caused by him and Koizumi had reached, and he wanted to take this opportunity to confirm it.
