In a defensive position in the Far East, a Maxim heavy machine gun was pointed at several Japanese men with white flags, who were negotiating with the former Soviet officers in charge of defending the area, accompanied by interpreters who translated a bunch of honorifics to each other, but the main point was not difficult to understand: they wanted to meet with representatives of the Axis powers to discuss an end to the war......

The Soviet officer who received him was now a border guard officer in the Far Eastern Republics, and he was still wearing a Soviet uniform, but he had torn off his rank insignia and had a swastika armband on his arm—a symbol that, to be honest, was not very practical in the field, but most people found it safer to distinguish Soviet troops from Axis forces.

"Sir, these Japanese say that they have been ordered to deliver the message of peace, that they wish to conclude a peace treaty with us, and that they are willing to return the land they occupy us. The officer walked back to his headquarters and used the phone to contact the higher command, after all, this kind of thing is not something that a small character like him can receive, and even the matter of peace negotiated by the Japanese, even General Chuikov himself can't be the master now.

By the time Yamashita met with German diplomats such as Merkel and Ribbentrop with his delegation, the Luftwaffe had shot down a full 80 Japanese planes of all kinds in the Far East. Because of this, when Yamashita and the others saw the German diplomatic mission, they all had a bitter taste on their faces.

"Dear Mr. Ribbentrop, Mr. Merkel...... I know that you two have come to the Far East on behalf of the Führer...... In fact, we, the Empire of Japan, are making various preparations for this meeting. Yamashita spoke to the German envoy with the characteristic Japanese courtesy, with flattery and respect.

These days, when he was close to the Far Eastern battlefield, he experienced more personally the horror of the German war machine -- in just ten days, the German planes had inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army in the crash of more than 40 planes before they had even formed a scale. If you think of the border between the Siberian Federation and Inner Mongolia in China, you have to make Rumang even more restless at the foot of the mountain behind him.

If the Chinese had received direct assistance from Germany, the situation of the Japanese on the Chinese battlefield would have been even worse. Thinking of this, Yamashita had to put his posture very low, and paid as much attention to his tone as possible when he spoke: "There is a long-standing friendship between our two countries......

"I think what Mr. Yamamoto said is true, but we in the Third Reich have always maintained friendship with many countries, even China, which your Japanese empire is invading. Merkel came to the Far East as a confidant of Accardo, as the personal representative of the head of the Third Reich, and he had a meeting with the head of state before he came, and he experienced the Führer's attitude towards Japan.

He said straight to the point: "The Third Reich and the Axis Group have many, many established strategic goals, for example, the Eurasian and African Union, which the Führer has been mentioning recently, is an ideal that the Reich has been working on......

Only then did we, the Great Japanese Empire, dare to call out a so-called Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere...... Yamashita felt that he had an urge to scold his mother, but now that the situation was stronger than others, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and continue to laugh and say: "Isn't the head of the Third Reich not at all worried that Japan will eventually be forced to sue for peace with the United States?"

......

"Oh, Japan wants to make peace with the United States?" Accardo, who was far away in the office of the Führer's Mansion in Berlin, smiled at Dominis, who was drinking coffee, and said: "If they can really reach a peace agreement with Japan, we can let people bring the peace treaty and talk to the Chinese." ”

"The Führer is so optimistic about the barren land of China rather than the powerful and advanced Japanese Empire?" Dominis narrowed his eyes, hoping to see the clue in the Führer in front of him.

It is not surprising that there are many rumors about the German Führer, some of which are related to ancient China. Legend has it that the Führer once had a superstitious belief in mystical powers, and even sought out witch doctors and psychics...... Of course, the Führer was also proficient in the Chinese language, and even claimed to have been inspired by Sun Tzu's Art of War and many other ancient Chinese books.

All sorts of things show that the Führer was a man who was deeply influenced by China, and even that Sickert helped China achieve the grand progress of partial industrialization. That's why Dominis asked Accardo in front of him, he really wanted to know what his leader thought on the Sino-Japanese issue.

"Quite simply, in my judgment, in Asia, it is far more important to win over China than to win over Japan in the fundamental interests of the Third Reich. Accardo said firmly: "First of all, geographically, it is more reliable to win over China and consolidate the barriers at both ends of the Eurasian continent than to trust Japan's promises." ”

Accardo pointed to the slender island on the Japanese mainland, and continued in a mocking tone: "Yes, it is true that Japan is stronger than China now, but it is not capable of eating the whole of China...... If we support Japan, we will make China completely fall to the United States, and Japan will not be able to defeat China on its own, and the result will be that it will have to wait for our support. ”

He looked at Dominis, and saw the same helplessness on the other side's face: "We gave up the Eurasian Union, which was at our fingertips, in exchange for an ally who could drag us to continue the war at any time...... This deal doesn't seem as tempting as it seems, does it?"

Dominis nodded, and he and some neutrals could see that a large part of the reason for their dilemma between China and Japan was precisely this -- Japan could not handle China on its own, and it was unrealistic to rely on Japan to resist the pressure of the United States and China and hold the eastern part of Asia. In the end, Germany will still commit troops in the Far East, the difference is only by how much.

However, China is obviously not Japan's opponent, and it is also unrealistic to expect China to immediately counterattack Japan and take over the Asian theater of operations on its own. That's why Dominis is in a dilemma, not knowing which country to put Germany's future strategy on.

"Since you can't figure it out, then let's make an assumption...... Accardo said confidently to Dominis: "Let's assume that we are on the side of the Japanese, and then deduce downwards, the advantage of the American fleet in the Pacific Ocean is very obvious, and we do not have the ability to project troops to the Pacific in a short period of time...... It is only a matter of time before the Japanese fleet is taken out, and the Americans will achieve the same victory in Southeast Asia, do you think there is anything wrong with what I am talking about?"

"My Führer, what you said is something that has been deduced by the strategic department, and I agree with it. Dominis nodded.

"Very well, since you agree, then I will continue to say, at this time, we must be involved in the Chinese battlefield, if we stand idly by, then Japan will be killed," Accardo continued to analyze: "The Americans are connected to Southeast Asia, and we have to invest at least 1 million troops in poor China and lack of transportation and infrastructure to maintain the situation there." ”

Hearing this, Dominis's face was already pale with fright, because he really didn't dare to imagine how much turmoil it would cause in the country if another 1 million troops were dispatched to expedition to a foreign land under the condition of continuous campaigns. What scared Dominis even more was that the huge industrial body of the United States had an extra year of activation time for no reason, and once this behemoth began to produce weapons and equipment unscrupulously, although Germany would not be defeated, it would be inevitable that it would fall into a bitter war.

"The war dragged on for a few more months, and even if we did come up with an atomic bomb, we would not dare to say that we would defeat the United States steadily...... We all know that it is impossible to produce enough atomic bombs in a short period of time to end the war. Accardo looked at Dominis and said word by word: "We will fall into the quagmire of Asia, where we will lose the lives of hundreds of thousands of German soldiers, and all this is to wipe the ass for what the Japanese provoked." ”

He walked up to Dominis, stretched out his palm, patted Dominis on the shoulder, and continued: "What if we are on the side of the Chinese?"

Dominis had been so dazzled by the Führer that he could only look at his Führer and wait for the Führer to continue. Accardo continued to speak: "We have won over China, and the gifts have been prepared, so don't worry about Chinese refusal...... We give more than the Americans, so they have no reason to refuse us...... Mongolia is already in our hands, and the Americans can't give such an attractive gift. ”

Seeing that Prime Minister Dominis nodded, Accardo continued: "Then we don't care whether the Americans and the Japanese continue to fight or make peace, as long as we support the Chinese and provide weapons for them to regain lost territory, right?"

Accardo stretched out his hand and pointed at the ancient eastern power: "They have a population of 300 million, and it is not a problem to send another 3 million troops to fight at present, and we can still arm 1 million Russians in the Far East...... Add 100,000 Germans, and Americans would have to fill at least 5 million lives if they wanted to bargain in Asia. ”――
