I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 528

It is obvious that the United States does not want to see us expand in Southeast Asia and Australia any more, and it is becoming more and more powerful to contain us!"

"What is your plan?" Jiang Weiguo seemed to have a premonition in his heart.

Yamamoto sullenly said, "Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. It should be broken continuously, and we will suffer from it! It's time for us to go to war with the United States! We must act first!"

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette, knowing in his heart: This guy is about to attack Pearl Harbor.

Section 612 Economic Outcomes

Before meeting with Yamamoto 56, Jiang Weiguo was listening to the national economic construction report of the previous year.

It was March 1942. After two months of work, all aspects of the national economic construction achievements in 3 last year had been statistically sorted out. Jiang Weiguo attached great importance to this, so after the statistical report just came out, He couldn't wait to know the result.

Speaking of it, Jiang Weiguo can be called the "Chief Architect, Chief Planner, and Chief Constructor" of China's economic construction at this time. Naturally, he is most concerned about the results of his own efforts, not to mention that China is currently in the midst of "great changes in the world". During World War II, if you want to take advantage of the situation to revive, you must fight, and if you want to fight, you must have capital, that is, national strength.

Good news on the front line and construction achievements in the rear are indispensable.

Those who reported to Jiang Weiguo were Yu Wangde, the second, Wang Wenying, the fourth, and Ju Boqiang, the sixth, among the ten brothers of the "princelings".

Jiang Weiguo and his nine brothers were all working in various important government departments at this time. The eldest Jiang Jingguo was in the party headquarters, the second eldest Yu Wangde was in the Ministry of Economic Affairs (formerly the Ministry of Industry, equivalent to the Development and Reform Commission in later generations), and the third eldest Dai Anguo was overseas. The fourth child Wang Wenying is in the Ministry of Finance, the fifth child Sun Zhiping is in the Ministry of Industry, the sixth child Ju Boqiang is in the Ministry of Military Industry, the seventh child Sun Zhiqiang is in the Ministry of Communications, the eighth child Jiang Weiguo is in the Military Commission, the ninth child Jin Dingguo is in the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the tenth child Zhang Following is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The positions of the ten brothers are not very high. For example, Jiang Weiguo is only the director of the Wuhan Military Commission, but the actual status and power of the ten brothers are very high, and they hold the key points of their departments. This is naturally because of Jiang Weiguo. His nine brothers are equivalent to the "supervisors" he arranged in the government department. They are all "imperial envoys". No one dares to touch or provoke anyone. Jiang Weiguo also trusts them the most. He lied, but it was absolutely impossible for his brothers to play tricks on him. His nine brothers were just like him, they had nothing to do and were dedicated to the country.

"Second brother, fourth brother, and sixth brother, you have worked hard!" Jiang Weiguo greeted Yu Wangde, Wang Wenying, and Ju Boqiang in the office with a smile on his face. "Please sit down, come, and drink tea!" A brother pours tea.

"Weiguo are all my brothers, why are you so polite?" Yu Wangde said with a smile.

"Second brother, you are right. We are all brothers of our own family. Why should I be polite to you? I sincerely thank you. I am responsible for fighting on the front line. You are responsible for construction and development in the rear. No You, I am alone! Three brothers, thank you very much, as a younger brother, I should pour tea for the three brothers, I should!" Jiang Weiguo said with a smile.

Wang Wenying said with a smile: "Second brother, don't look at how majestic Weiguo is outside, but at home, he is our eighth brother.

Well, Weiguo, you are very busy, and we are also very busy, forget about the red tape in the officialdom of our fathers, we are not interested, let’s get straight to the point, don’t waste time!" He opened a thick copy that he carried with him Yu Wangde and Ju Boqiang also took out the documents from the briefcase one after another.

"Fourth brother, second brother, and sixth brother, put away all your reports for me!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "What I hate the most are government reports that look like foot wraps, long-winded and full of nonsense.

I just asked some of the most critical data, I asked, you tell me, it's that simple, okay? "

Wang Wenying reluctantly put the document back into the briefcase: "Okay, you can ask, we know everything, and I can recite all the key data by heart, and the second and sixth brothers must be the same!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Fourth brother, you are in the Ministry of Finance, and you are in charge of the overall situation. Tell me first, what was the GDP of our country last year (1941)?"

Wang Wenying grinned: "It's almost more than 220 billion US dollars!"

Jiang Weiguo was overjoyed and pleasantly surprised: "Damn it! More than 220 billion US dollars? I remember that the year before last (1940) was only about [-] billion! Why did it more than double all of a sudden? Are you right?"

Wang Wenying was very proud: "Nonsense! First, your army won the Soviet war, plundered so many industrial machines, real wealth, and got back so much money. Can the country not get rich? It’s just burning money, but after all, you haven’t lost the battle. Not only have you plundered a lot of foreign wealth, but also stimulated the vigorous development of domestic industries. Of course, the economy is booming! Second, didn’t you recover the Northeast, Tianjin, Shanghai and other places? Needless to say, the Northeast has been built by the Japanese for a full ten years, and most of the results belong to us. Tianjin and Shanghai have developed increasingly prosperous due to the continuous expansion of Sino-Japanese trade in recent years. After taking it back, it naturally made us a lot of money; third, the original domestic industrial foundation is not fake. We have worked hard for several years, and all walks of life have been on the right track, naturally forming a self-consistent virtuous circle , Our country's vast land and resources are also not empty. So many rich resources have been developed rationally, correctly, and with all our strength. With the help of overseas Chinese, can our economy not develop like a raging fire?" He sighed, "To be honest, more than half of the GDP that increased by more than 100 billion U.S. dollars last year compared to the previous year was obtained by using the army from abroad. It’s a real way to make money!”

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette, feeling joyful and excited. At the same time, he was very moved by Wang Wenying's last sentence, "War is really a way to make money." It tells the story of Yamamoto 56 who opposed Japan's alliance with Germany and Japan's war against the United States before the Pacific War, but then involuntarily started and directed the Japan-US Pacific War until his death. The film has the suspicion of beautifying Yamamoto and Japan , but many of the details are intriguing. For example, before the Pacific War, Japan was eager to "launch a new war." In a tavern, several guests were chatting while eating. Complained: "Hitler gave up the alliance with Japan because of our hesitation, it's over!" "Thanks to the cowards in the navy, we don't have to fight the Americans!" My factory is going to close down!" A dancer next to me asked in surprise: "So, once the war starts, the economy will get better?" A reporter next to him said: "When the First World War broke out 56 years ago, Japan's sluggish economy at that time has indeed recovered in an all-round way!" The businessman said repeatedly: "That's right! Fighting is the best!" This scene in the movie is the epitome of the description of the Japanese grassroots society at that time. , Ordinary people are eager to fight because of propaganda and brainwashing. Although there is a real war, regardless of victory or defeat, they are the people who have to pay the heaviest price and pay for the government's actions. After all, the vast majority of Japanese soldiers died on the battlefield They are all from ordinary people; military and political leaders are also eager to fight, because only after fighting can they hope to realize their ideal (ambition) of establishing a great cause in vain, and have the opportunity to realize their life value in war; businessmen are more eager to fight. Fight the war, because if you fight the war, they will get rich.

For example, if a businessman runs a bicycle factory, the bicycle orders his factory usually receives must come from the private sector, but the bicycles demanded by the private sector must be a fixed value, and the amount will not suddenly increase on a large scale. However, a war broke out and the army needs to fight. Naturally, a lot of materials are needed, including bicycles. The army needs a lot of bicycles, so it will naturally place large orders to domestic bicycle factories. Therefore, businessmen who start bicycles can make a fortune. Then, the army buys bicycles from domestic bicycle factories Where does your money come from?From the treasury, where does the money in the treasury come from?From foreign wealth looted by armies on foreign battlefields.

By analogy, when a war is fought, domestic industry and commerce will be stimulated, showing a momentum of vigorous development and prosperity. Therefore, businessmen like to fight. Of course, the premise is that the country’s army wins the war. Instead, they lost everything with the government and lost everything. Therefore, when a country goes to war, the country’s chaebol consortia will fully support it. On the one hand, they can get rich profits from the war by cooperating with the government and the army Interest, on the other hand, if the country defeats the war, they will be buried with the government and the army. Naturally, they will fully support the government and the army to fight and win the war.

Right now, Wang Wenying's sigh represents the thoughts of many businessmen in China at this time: After the country went to war, the army looted a lot of wealth from abroad, and a large part of this wealth will flow into the pockets of domestic businessmen.

Although this kind of thinking is incorrect, if it continues to develop, it will lead to a warlike path of militarism, but it is an indisputable fact: the army can indeed gain a lot of wealth for the country and stimulate the country's economy by fighting and winning wars abroad. Rapid development.

In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence: How can the speed of making money be compared to stealing money?For example, in the First Sino-Japanese War, the price Japan paid for this war was 1132 deaths and more than 12200 injuries. It can be said that it was not serious, but how much wealth did Japan gain because of its victory in this war?The indemnity alone received a huge amount of 3000 million taels of silver, and the value of the material trophies seized by the Japanese army was as high as more than 1 million yen, a total of about 5000 million yen. At that time, Japan’s annual fiscal revenue was only With only 8000 million yen, Japan has obtained nearly four and a half years of fiscal revenue through the victory of the Sino-Japanese War of 2016-75. Can winning a war not make a fortune?Can the Japanese not love war?In the same way, can the Chinese army win battles without getting rich?Can some people in China not sigh, "War is really a way to make money"?In later generations, China's GDP in one year (330) was about [-] trillion yuan. If China plundered nearly four and a half years of wealth equivalent to [-] billion yuan through a foreign war similar to the Sino-Japanese War, it is conceivable that the The money comes as fast as the victory.

Jiang Weiguo made China a lot of money by winning the Soviet Union's war. In fact, China's increased wealth was part of the original Soviet Union's wealth (after all, China was not the only one that divided the Soviet Union), and the Soviet Union was squeezed dry by uniting with Germany and other allies. Now, China will be so "rich" at this time.

"Hehehe!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't help laughing, "Damn! The hard and poor days are finally over!" He immediately thought of the second question, "By the way, we can't compare vertically, but horizontally. What was the GDP of Germany, Japan, Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries last year?"

Wang Wenying laughed: "I knew you would ask this, I have already obtained relevant information.

Germany was 450 billion the year before last, and it rose to more than 500 billion the year before last. Last year, it broke through 700 billion. We defeated the Soviet Union. We made a lot of money, and the Germans made a lot of money. More than 120 billion, dropped to less than 100 billion the year before last, and rose to more than 130 billion last year, a small profit, far less than ours; Italy is similar to Japan, also about 100 billion; the Soviet Union originally had more than 430 billion, It is estimated that there are still 30 billion, which is not bad; both Britain and France are about 400 billion, and Britain is slightly higher than France. France is now defeated, the economy has suffered a lot, and a lot of wealth belongs to Germany. It is estimated that it is not as good as us. Britain is now The Germans suffered heavy losses, but they have not lost the war after all, so there should be more than 300 billion; as for the United States..." Wang Wenying's smile disappeared, replaced by a kind of awe, "The United States is too powerful!Really too powerful! 2200 billion!It is ten times as much as ours!The most frightening thing is that the gdp of the United States was only 1000 billion four years ago, but it has more than doubled in four years, and it is either the wealth plundered from the outside, or the wealth produced by the country. Before getting the maximum stimulation, it has already reached the point where the mountain is standing still!If there is a war, it's still worth it!The strength, potential, and explosive power of the United States are unparalleled!I really don’t know how many years it will take for China to catch up with the United States. Even, whether China can hope to catch up with the United States is a big question. It’s like a race. They are not only far ahead, but also faster than us. Stop and accelerate! "

Jiang Weiguo sympathized with Wang Wenying's lament of "increasing the ambition of others and destroying one's own prestige". He remembered that in the past, when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, the GDP of the United States was about 1000 billion U.S. dollars, and when the Pacific War broke out, it was the U.S. When it officially participated in World War II, the GDP of the United States had soared to about 2000 billion U.S. dollars. At the end of World War II, the U.S. GDP exceeded 3000 billion U.S. dollars.

If the United States, Germany, the Soviet Union, Britain, France, Japan, Italy, and China are the eight major planets in the solar system, then the United States is the boss of Jupiter, not only a giant, but also occupying an absolute advantage, far away from No. 2 (Germany), because the mass of No.2 Saturn is 95 times that of the earth, and the mass of No.1 Jupiter is 318 times that of the earth, which is terrible.

"In any case, our China has officially surpassed Japan, our sworn enemy. It is still a gratifying, great achievement worthy of our pride!" Jiang Weiguo was still in a very happy mood.

Wang Wenying said: "Weiguo, don't be too happy. my country's gdp was more than 100 billion last year, and it soared to 220 billion last year. More than half of such a large range is the wealth plundered through the victory of the war against the Soviet Union. This year, If there is not such a big war victory, then the growth rate of my country's gdp will return to normal, 20.00%, [-]% are normal!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "I understand!"

Yu Wangde said: "Weiguo, I have to repeat what the fourth brother said just now, don't be too happy, gdp is the total amount after all, the total amount is very important, and the composition is also very important.

During the Opium War, the gdp of the Qing Dynasty surpassed that of Britain, but so what?Wasn't it completely defeated by the British on the battlefield?Why?Because the gdp of the qing dynasty was mainly based on agricultural income, while the gdp of the UK was mainly based on industrial and commercial income. Although the total amount was not as good as that of the qing dynasty, it was stronger, tougher, and advanced.

We are in the same predicament now.

"Whether the total economic output is large" is not as meaningful as "whether the industrial output value is large or not".

Is the gold content of the money we make from farming comparable to the money people make from opening factories and mining?So I want to tell you about our industrial output.

The United States, Germany, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Italy, and China are the eight major countries. The Soviet Union has already existed in name only, so we will not mention it. The remaining seven countries are ranked according to their economic aggregates, which are the United States, Germany, Britain, and China. , France, Japan, Italy, we have surpassed France, Japan and Italy, but have we really surpassed them?In our total economic output of 220 billion yuan, the total industrial output value is only more than 100 billion yuan, which can be divided into three parts. One is the self-construction of our mainland, which is about 30 billion yuan. The second is the recovered Northeast industry, which is about 30 billion yuan. The third is The industry seized back from the Soviet Union is about 40 billion. Our industrial output value accounts for about 45% of the total economic output; while Germany’s 700 billion is more than 500 billion in industrial output value, accounting for more than 70%. The same is true for Britain and France. Seventy percent of the total economic output is industrial output. Even Italy has about 90% industrial output. Japan’s GDP is not as good as ours, but its industrial output is more than [-] billion US dollars, accounting for about [-]% of its total economic output. As for the United States, That number is scary.

Weiguo, do you understand?The proportion of our industrial output value is not high, if it were not for the recovery of the Northeast and the plundering of the Soviet Union, the total industrial output value and the proportion would be even lower!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded solemnly: "Yes, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan and Italy have already completed industrialization, and we are still halfway. We were originally an agricultural country, but now we are not an industrial country, a mixture of half-agricultural and half-industrial!"

Yu Wangde sighed: "The gap between us and Western powers in industry is not only this! Industry is a complex concept, and there are many differences. For example, mining, if Western powers can do it, we can do it too; metallurgy, the gap Then it came out that the Germans and Japanese could smelt more advanced metals, but we couldn’t match them; manufacturing was even more our weakness. It can be said that this is our biggest weakness in industry.

Mining iron ore and smelting it into steel is just a primary industry, and then we have to make steel into machines. The German manufacturing industry is world-class, and the Japanese are also good. The Japanese aircraft aluminum alloy armor is very good. Excellent, we just can't do it.

For example, the Germans smelt 100 million tons of steel, and then use it to make 100 machines within a year. The Japanese also smelt 100 million tons of steel, and then use it to make [-] machines within a year. One million tons of steel can also be smelted, but we can only manufacture one hundred machines in a year, and the quality of the machines is not as good as that of the Germans and Japanese.

Vigo, this is where the real gap in industry lies!"

Jiang Weiguo's expression became more dignified and his heart became heavier: "Second brother, what you said is really penetrating.

Yes, the gap between us and the Western powers is still very large!"

Yu Wangde saw that Jiang Weiguo's originally sunny expression suddenly turned cloudy, smiled, and comforted him: "We need to realize our own shortcomings, and then strive to catch up with others, and at the same time, we should not underestimate ourselves." , to recognize their own strengths.

Although our industry still has many shortcomings, the total output value of more than 100 billion US dollars is not blown out. We have many characteristics and advantages of our own.

The four major countries of the Allied Powers, Germany, China, Japan, and Italy, we, China, are the largest provider of industrial raw materials and strategic materials, and Germany, Japan, and Italy cannot do without us.

Our ability to manufacture machines is indeed inferior to that of the Germans and Japanese, but the mines we dug, the steel we smelt, and the oil we produced were not inferior to those of Germany and Japan, or even greatly surpassed them!"

Jiang Weiguo immediately cheered up a little: "Oh? Tell me!"

Yu Wangde took out a stack of documents with joy on his face: "Last year, my country's steel output exceeded 1000 million tons, while the year before last, my country's steel output was 600 million tons. Four years ago, in 1937, my country's steel output was 50 tons, in just four years, my country's steel production has increased by a full twenty-fold! This is so remarkable! Of course, the recovery of the Northeast and the acquisition of a large number of machines from the Soviet Union are the reasons why my country's steel production has continued to soar important reason.

In the same year, Germany’s steel output was more than 2400 million tons, Japan’s was 580 million tons, Italy’s was 250 million tons, the United Kingdom’s was 1200 million tons, France’s was 700 million tons, and the United States’ was 7500 million tons (historically, the Soviet Union’s output in the same year Steel production is 1900 million tons)!"

"Good!" Jiang Weiguo was excited, "It is indeed a remarkable achievement! It has surpassed France, Japan and Italy, and is second to the United States, Germany and Britain, ranking fourth in the world!"

Yu Wangde continued to report: "There is nothing to say about coal, let's talk about the more important oil. Last year, my country's oil output was more than 2200 million tons, of which Shengli Oilfield produced about 400 million tons, and Daqing Oilfield produced about 300 million tons. Karamay Oilfield produced about 150 million tons, Yumen Oilfield produced about 100 million tons, half of our oil-producing areas in Baku produced more than 1100 million tons, plus other oilfields, The total amount exceeds 2200 million tons.

Italy has only one million tons, Japan has only two million tons, and Germany has more than 2000 million tons, which is a little less than ours. Moreover, half of Germany's oil comes from Baku, a quarter from Romania, and four One-third is chemically synthesized.

Of course, although we are incomparable with the nearly [-] million tons of oil produced by the United States last year, it can already meet the needs of our country's existing industries and can also greatly support Japan.

Germany can be self-sufficient in oil, and can also help Italy, while the oil produced by Japan itself cannot meet its own needs at all, so it has to rely heavily on us!"

"Good!" Jiang Weiguo praised again.

Yu Wangde also said: "Car output is an important standard for measuring industrial manufacturing. Last year, Germany produced 50 cars, Italy 7, Japan 4, the United States 400 million, and the United Kingdom 40. 25 in France and 5 in ours.

However, objectively speaking, the automobile manufacturing industry is not particularly complicated, so we can develop rapidly!"

"Okay!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Ju Boqiang said with a smile on his face: "Now, it's my turn to report on the development and current situation of the military industry.

Let me also directly give an overview conclusion!First of all, the production of light weapons and ammunition can basically meet the needs of the troops. Secondly, in terms of important weapons, we can now produce more than 1000 aircraft and more than 300 tanks per month. By the end of the year, the production of aircraft can be increased to monthly If there are more than 1500 tanks, the output of tanks can be increased to more than 400; large-caliber artillery can now produce more than 1000 pieces per month!"

"Okay!" Jiang Weiguo said yes again, and he sighed in his heart. He has worked hard for several years, and today, he finally looks like a powerful country!

"But..." Ju Boqiang shrugged, "It's not a big problem for us to build guns, cannons, planes and tanks, but there is one thing that is powerless!"

Jiang Weiguo knew it well: "Warship!"

"Yes!" Ju Boqiang nodded, "Our shipbuilding industry is the weakest.

The annual shipbuilding tonnage of the American shipbuilding industry at this time can reach 150 million tons. It is conservatively estimated that after full operation, it can exceed 200 million tons (equivalent to 100 medium-sized aircraft carriers). The annual shipbuilding tonnage of the Japanese shipbuilding industry at this time is 35 tons. Well... only 3.5 tons.

It can be said that except for the shipbuilding industry, we are not much different from Japan or even surpass Japan in other aspects. Only in the shipbuilding industry, we are greatly inferior to Japan.

Because, first, our country’s shipbuilding industry is very backward. Second, our country is a continental country. Unlike Japan and the United Kingdom, we do not rely on navigation and transportation. The cost is too huge, the time-consuming is too long, and the development is shelved. Naturally, the shipbuilding industry cannot be stimulated and supported by the military, so although there has been progress, the progress has not been great. The only bright spot is that our country can now produce German U-shaped Submarines, about 10 can be produced every year.

Submarines, torpedo boats, and gunboats are the three major weapons of our navy, and if they are bigger, they are gunboats (the so-called light cruisers built by the Republic of China are actually gunboats, which are even inferior to real destroyers)!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "This is also impossible.

In a few years, we can build a strong army and a strong navy, but we cannot build a strong navy. If we insist on building it, we will not be able to keep up with this war, and it will even drag down the army and navy. Alas! "

Jiang Weiguo discussed with Yu Wangde, Wang Wenying, and Ju Boqiang for more than an hour, and repeatedly discussed the construction of the domestic economy. Overall, the results are huge, but the gap with the big powers is also huge. When comparing, Several people use Germany as a reference point, but not the United States, because there is no comparison at all. If China is on par with the United States at this time, the gap is so big that people will lose confidence in their struggle.

When Jiang Weiguo sent the three of Yu Wangde away, Yamamoto 56 just arrived.

Chapter 613 Seeking Sun and Beauty

Yamamoto 56 is also a big man, but he came to China very frequently to find Jiang Weiguo in person. The reason is also very simple: every time he came to China, he would discuss with Jiang Weiguo important and confidential matters that he had to personally discuss with Jiang Weiguo. thing.

Yamamoto 56 is 58 years old this year, and Jiang Weiguo is 26 years old this year. The age difference between the two is 32 years old, and one is Japanese and the other is Chinese (in the eyes of many Japanese at this time, Jiang Weiguo is "half Japanese and half Chinese." ”), but the relationship between the two is very good, and their friendship can be called a long-lasting friendship. However, Jiang Weiguo certainly did not really regard Yamamoto as a friend in his heart, but Yamamoto really regarded Jiang Weiguo as a friend to a large extent.

Jiang Weiguo regarded Yamamoto as a "friend". First, because Yamamoto did not support Japan's invasion of China, whether in the original history or at this time, and he did not have much Chinese blood on his hands. In other words, the "utility value" of his body is very great, and it is worth Jiang Weiguo's hypocritical "befriending" with him; Yamamoto regards Jiang Weiguo as a friend, one is out of admiration, and the other is out of gratitude.

Although Jiang Weiguo killed many Japanese, most of the Japanese he killed were Japanese army officers and soldiers. Yamamoto belonged to the Japanese navy. In addition, after the armistice between China and Japan, Jiang Weiguo vigorously promoted the joint cooperation between China and Japan, allowing Japan to benefit greatly from the alliance of Germany, China and Japan, which caused psychological problems for many Japanese, including Yamamoto. It has the effect of "giving a handful of dates with a stick", dilutes their hatred of Jiang Weiguo and China, and even feels ashamed and grateful. Not only that, Jiang Weiguo has impressive skills in building a modern navy and how to conduct modern naval warfare. Yamamoto admired and appreciated the amazing "sights and insights". Because of Jiang Weiguo's "pointing the maze", the Japanese navy promptly abandoned the original wrong route and found the correct development direction, which made Yamamoto very grateful to Jiang Weiguo, especially Jiang Weiguo. The Malay naval battle that broke out between Japan and Britain thoroughly proved that the development direction of the Japanese navy at this time was completely correct. This victory not only made the Japanese navy extremely proud, but also made Yamamoto further grateful to Jiang Weiguo. Therefore, Yamamoto sincerely Those who regard Jiang Weiguo as a friend and highly value Jiang Weiguo's suggestions to the Japanese navy seem to regard Jiang Weiguo as "the chief think tank of the Japanese navy" and "Yamamoto himself's first adviser."

Yamamoto would not lie to Jiang Weiguo. Without revealing the secrets of Japan and the Japanese Navy, he was very willing to confide in Jiang Weiguo, and then hoped to get "instructions that benefited him a lot and enlightened him" from Jiang Weiguo. After all, After all, China and Japan are allies now.

In Jiang Weiguo's office, after receiving the tea poured by Jiang Weiguo, Yamamoto didn't say any polite words to Jiang Weiguo, his face was very ugly, and he went straight to the point: "Little General Jiang, what we are most worried about has happened.

Britain, France and the Netherlands control large tracts of land in the Far East and Australia. France has been conquered by Germany and obediently spit out their territory. The Netherlands has been defeated by Germany. Its Indonesian colony has fallen into Japan's pocket. Britain has been defeated by the joint attack of China and Japan. , Britain's Malaya, Singapore, Brunei, Myanmar and other places will sooner or later become Chinese territories. It can be said that the expansion of China and Japan in Southeast Asia is very smooth. Facing this situation, the United States cannot sit still.

In fact, the United States has never really stayed out of it, and we should be soberly aware of this.

Many people have been deceived by the "isolationism" and "neutrality policy" that the US government talks about, mistakenly thinking that the United States is really a neutral country that does not participate in world disputes, but what is the truth?In fact, the U.S. government has never done what they said. U.S. President Roosevelt and more and more high-level U.S. officials have gradually shown more and more obvious signs of wanting to intervene, intervene, and participate in the world war. Five years ago, the U.S. Congress passed the "Vinson Expansion of the Naval Act", allocating one billion dollars for the expansion of the U.S. Navy. Last year, the U.S. government blatantly abolished the embargo clause, passed the Concession Act, and blatantly sold and leased to the United Kingdom. A large number of weapons and equipment, including a total of 50 destroyers, the U.S. Army is also rapidly expanding its military. The original more than 100 people have been expanded to more than [-] million at once. The arsenal of the arsenal expanded its arms production day by day.

With such an obvious behavior, if anyone really believes that the United States is a neutral country that has no intention of meddling, interfering, or participating in the world war, then he is a fool! "He looked quite angry and anxious.

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Before the last world war, the United States also kept claiming that it was a neutral country, but it took the opportunity to join the war when Britain, France, Germany and Austria and other countries were defeated and their vitality was greatly damaged. In the end, they only paid a small price to become the last time. The biggest winner of the world war, today, we have no reason not to suspect that the US government is now repeating its old tricks.

As the saying goes, 'When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits'!The U.S. government is already familiar with this trick and has rich experience!"

Yamamoto also nodded: "The Soviet Union is finished, and France has surrendered. The enemy of the Allied Powers is the United Kingdom. It will be a matter of time before Britain is defeated by the Allied Powers. I don't believe that the United States will really sit back and watch the British fall, because the United Kingdom is already America's last ally.

What the U.S. government lacks at this time is an excuse to join the war.

It is an excuse, it is too easy to find, even if there is no excuse, you can fabricate one!"
