I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 637

In the conference room, Truman looked at the Japanese who came uninvited again with disgust. He drove Shigeru Yoshida away last time, but he didn't expect the thick skin of the Japanese to surprise him, and they came again.

Although he didn't intend to listen to the other party's words of flattery, arrogance, or begging for mercy, Truman still found out that Shigeru Yoshida who came last time was from the Japanese government, but this time it was a Japanese soldier. Will.

"Say something quickly!" Truman said impatiently.

"I fully understand your disdain, hatred, and disgust towards us Japanese at this time, and I also know that you are very reluctant to sit here, so I will make a long story short.

First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Ishihara Wanji, and I am the deputy chief of staff of the Japanese Army; secondly, I am here to represent the Japanese government to make a deal with your government, not to beg for peace!" Japanese Army Central Said in a calm tone.

"A deal?" Truman was a little surprised at first, and then felt ridiculous, "What else can you Japanese have to make a deal with us?"

Ishihara smiled slightly: "Mr. Truman, I am not speaking to you, but to President Roosevelt, please pass it on to President Roosevelt.

Although this world war is not over yet, the overall situation has become clear. The Soviet Union and France have been eliminated. Italy is not a climate and is only a subsidiary of Germany. Japan and the United Kingdom will lose. The post-war world will be dominated by the three major powers of the United States, China and Germany. A big situation in which the Three Kingdoms rule the roost and the three pillars stand together is formed.

The relationship between China and Germany is extremely close. There is no doubt that after the war, China and Germany will continue to form an alliance to fight against the United States. Lay the groundwork.

In Europe, the United States has tried its best to assist the United Kingdom in order to turn the United Kingdom into a pawn for the United States to place in Europe and restrict Germany. In East Asia, the United States does not have a suitable pawn to restrict China. Australia is too far away from China. It is hard to say who will fall into the hands. Under such circumstances, Japan will be the most ideal choice for the United States.

Germany and the UK, China and Japan are very similar. Germany is a country in continental Europe, while the UK is an island off the continent of Europe. China is a country on the continent of East Asia, and Japan is an island off the continent of East Asia.

Yes, we, Japan, are willing to become a pawn for the United States to weaken China now and restrict China after the war.

Although there is hatred between Japan and the United States, those hatreds are actually nothing compared to national interests.

President Roosevelt is a statesman and strategist with great wisdom, great mind, courage and vision, and we believe he knows what he should do!"

The impatience in Truman's heart was rapidly diminishing, and he narrowed his eyes: "Specifically?"

Ishihara smiled and said seriously: "China and the United States are about to fight Japan together. China and the United States seem to be comrades-in-arms, but not allies. China and the United States join hands to defeat Japan. It is not worthwhile to share the fruits of victory.

Therefore, in the coming war, the U.S. military only needs to put on a show on the battlefield, so that the Japanese army can go all out to fight the Chinese army and consume China's national strength and military power. Isn't this not good for the United States?After the war, whether Japan was defeated, surrendered or negotiated a truce, Japan took the initiative to fall into the arms of the United States, allowing the United States to monopolize Japan, to have a military base on the edge of China, and to put tanks, aircraft and warships at the gate of the Chinese people. Isn’t that right? Is it beneficial for the United States to compete with China for hegemony after the war? "

Truman looked at Ishihara and smiled. After 1 minute, he told the adjutant beside him: "Contact me the president!"

Chapter 727 The Horn of the Great Battle (7)

War is commonplace for human beings. Although there are many reasons for the outbreak of war, they are always the same, and the core is the word "interest".

Human beings fight for profit. If the consumption of war exceeds the profit after winning the war, then the war is very likely to end when neither warring party is willing to continue and a balance of interests is reached.

Right now, this world war has entered a new stage. The original eight major powers in the world, the Soviet Union and France, have been eliminated. The Soviet Union is slowly dying like a terminally ill patient in a corner where no one cares about it. France is completely overwhelmed by Germany. In the other six countries, Italy is completely subordinate to Germany and has no autonomy. Britain is also completely dependent on the United States and completely obeys the orders of the United States. It also does not have autonomy. : United States, Germany, China, Japan.

In the four countries, Germany, China and Japan were originally a group, but Japan has been expelled from the Germany-China-Japan alliance and has become a loner. Therefore, the four countries are now divided into three camps: the United States, Germany, China, and Japan.

Among them, the interests of Germany and China are completely integrated, and the alliance is unbreakable.

The interests of the four countries and the three camps are intricately intertwined.

Among the four countries of the United States, Germany, China, and Japan, the United States is the strongest, followed by Germany, followed by China, and Japan is the weakest. Therefore, Japan has the highest level of war danger.

On January 1944, 1, Jiang Weiguo "died" in Tokyo, Japan due to the murder of the Japanese;

At the end of January, China held a "state funeral" for Jiang Weiguo, and China and Japan substantially severed diplomatic relations;

At the end of February, the Allied forces defeated the Japanese army on the Australian battlefield, and the Japanese army was completely expelled from Australia;

On April 4, Germany announced that Japan would be expelled from the camp of the Allied Powers for "murdering Jiang Weiguo and unilaterally negotiating peace with the United States in secret." Announcing support for China's foreign policy means that China will fully support China whether it is war or peace with Japan.

Washington, Berlin, Nanjing, Tokyo...all entered a state of emergency because of this new situation of world war with twists and turns.

The high-level decision makers of the four countries are doing their best to turn their heads together, thinking hard about strategies that can break through the predicament of their own countries or allow their countries to take advantage of the new situation of the world war to gain more and maximize benefits.

In Berlin, in the conference hall of the Chancellery, Hitler stared at the German decision-makers gathered in front of him: "The current new situation does not surprise me at all. China and Japan have always been bitter enemies. It was before the formation of the Confederate faction, and it was still after the formation of the Confederate faction.

There are many things that were inconvenient to say before, but now I can say them.

Most of the top Chinese leaders, headed by and represented by General Jiang Weiguo, never really wanted to turn enemies into friends with the Japanese.

The demise of Japan is their unswerving and unwavering belief.

Even if they agreed to negotiate a peace and armistice with Japan and form an alliance with Japan, they only wanted to make full use of Japan's value and destroy Japan better.

After the Sino-Japanese alliance, China and Japan just take advantage of each other's relationship, nothing more.

Right now, Japan has no value to use. It is true for China, and it is also true for Germany. Naturally, we can abandon it and destroy it.

These are all in the plans of General Jiang Weiguo and me, so you don't need to be surprised.

On the other hand, you don't need to sympathize with the Japanese or have a bad conscience, because China and Germany have not broken their promises to Japan, and the Japanese are in this besieged situation, which is actually their own fault and their own fault.

According to the information sent to us by the Chinese intelligence agency, in the past year or so, the Japanese have been deliberately trying to murder General Jiang Weiguo, overthrow the current Chinese regime, and support the pro-Japanese faction in China’s top ranks to rule China, so as to let them The purpose of indirectly controlling China is just that they lost the secret war between China and Japan, so their wishful thinking did not come true, and they dug their own graves.

Do not sympathize with the Japanese, this is what they asked for!I hereby solemnly emphasize that, first of all, Germany’s policy toward China remains unchanging. Without China, Germany cannot win this war, and without Germany, China cannot be the winner of this war. As long as Germany and China National energy is always integrated, no group can defeat the German-Chinese alliance, and Germany will remain invincible!Secondly, Germany's policy toward Japan must closely follow that of China. If China wants to fight against Japan, even if Germany cannot directly fight against Japan, it must declare war on Japan and firmly support China in fighting against Japan. If China wants to negotiate peace with Japan, so will Germany. Negotiating a peace with Japan, that’s it. In fact, East Asia has nothing to do with Germany’s core interests, and Japan’s life or death has little to do with Germany. The reason why we keep pace with China’s policy toward Japan is to consolidate Germany-China relations; Therefore, Germany's US policy needs to be adjusted to a certain extent.

We have no way to defeat the United States. Even if we have the atomic bomb ahead of the United States, it will be difficult to force the United States to surrender with the atomic bomb. In fact, North America has nothing to do with the core interests of Germany. At the same time, the United States has no way to defeat us. Roosevelt knew that, Even if his army can set foot on the European continent, it is impossible to enter Berlin and defeat Germany, unless the US government can cover the entire European continent with American corpses.

The essence of the German-American War is to compete for Britain. We need to occupy Britain, completely expel the American forces from Europe, and make Europe completely Germany's Europe. After the war, Germany and the United States can dominate each other across the Atlantic Ocean and cannot threaten each other. With each other, North America and even the whole of America is the territory of the United States, while Europe must be the exclusive territory of Germany; however, the United States also wants to control the United Kingdom, and saving the United Kingdom is just a moral excuse. The United States wants to turn the United Kingdom into its A foothold in Europe, a military base that threatens the European continent, and a forward springboard to enter the European continent.

Gentlemen, the British island is too close to the European mainland and the German mainland!If the United States can control Britain, station millions of troops in Britain for a long time, deploy the US Atlantic Fleet in British coastal ports, and deploy tens of thousands of planes, tanks, artillery and even missiles and atomic bombs in Britain, then we can still Have a good night's sleep?The American sword of Damox will always hang above our heads!The German people will always be under the shadow of the US military's war!Therefore, for the long-term stability of Germany after the war, we must occupy Britain!Completely and completely expel American influence from Europe!Europe, only Germany's Europe!Do not allow other countries to meddle! "

After taking a short breath, Hitler continued: "After our missile submarine successfully launched its first attack on the United States and its capital, Washington, we have conveyed our meaning to Roosevelt through the Chinese channel. According to the Chinese Roosevelt was really shocked by the information conveyed by the side. He understood that Germany already had the ability and power to truly threaten the continental United States. He had to think twice about the German-American war. "

Admiral Dönitz, deputy commander-in-chief of the German Navy and commander of the German Navy's submarine force, couldn't help but say: "My head of state, with all due respect, I must remind you that although our missile submarines have been successfully developed and successfully used In actual combat, however, we do not yet have the technology to use missile submarines to launch missiles carrying atomic bombs.

We have consulted experts who developed the atomic bomb. Although the atomic bomb itself is not big, it is still very difficult to miniaturize it. It will take time. Using strategic bombers to drop atomic bombs on enemy territory is currently the most reliable and possibly the only way In addition, we have not really succeeded in the project of jointly developing the atomic bomb with the Chinese and the Jews. Also, I have doubts about the power of the atomic bomb. An atomic bomb can really destroy a city in an instant. How many 10 people?I can't believe it!"

Hitler showed a confident expression: "General Doenitz, you are an excellent soldier and an outstanding tactician, but you still have some shortcomings in strategy and strategy.

General Doenitz, if you think about it, if our atomic bomb has been successfully developed and miniaturized, it can be installed on a missile, and then launched to the continental United States by a missile submarine, can we really do that?If you do that, hundreds of thousands of American civilians will be killed at once, and the relationship between Germany and the United States will be endless.

Perhaps, the US government and Americans will be completely terrified and surrender to us because of this, but another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the US government and Americans will hate us to the bone because of this, and then use everything to the extreme Take revenge on us.

We are developing the atomic bomb, and the Americans and the British must also be developing it. According to the information provided by General Jiang Weiguo, he is very sure that we are ahead of the United States and Britain in the development of the atomic bomb, but he is not too clear about the progress of the development of the atomic bomb in the United States and Britain. To what extent, maybe three months after our successful development, the United States and the United Kingdom will also succeed, and it will be troublesome then.

Even if the U.S. government succumbs, the U.S. government can secretly transfer the atomic bomb development base abroad, or to Oceania, or to South America, and at the same time establish a government-in-exile to control the atomic bomb development base. What should we do?When the U.S. and the U.K. successfully develop the atomic bomb, and the U.S. and U.K. governments in exile retaliate against us with the atomic bomb, we will lose more than we gain.

Gentlemen, there is no doubt about the power of the atomic bomb. One can destroy a city and kill hundreds of thousands of people. The appearance of the atomic bomb is as epoch-making and revolutionary as the emergence of hot weapons at the end of the era of cold weapons.

General Jiang Weiguo said very incisively that the atomic bomb is most powerful when it is on the launch pad because of its great lethality.

Atomic bombs should be used to scare, not kill.

In addition, our warships cannot cross the Atlantic Ocean, and our bombers cannot fly to North America, but we have missile submarines, and Roosevelt will understand that even if the United States and Britain succeed in developing the atomic bomb before us, we still have the ability to retaliate. Don't dare to act rashly together.

From Germany's point of view, a thorough deterioration of German-US relations is not conducive to Germany's interests. It may be beneficial to Germany's immediate interests, but it is not conducive to Germany's long-term interests.

Gentlemen, we must take the long view!"

Marshal Goering, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, asked: "Führer, what should we do next?"

Hitler seemed to have a plan in mind, and he talked radiantly: "There is indeed a big gap between Germany and the United States in terms of national strength, but the atomic bomb has put Germany and the United States on the same starting line.

A small country with an atomic bomb is essentially the same as a big country with an atomic bomb. It is a wonderful balance.

If the United States has an atomic bomb, it can be dropped to Germany by bomber (although the Luftwaffe closely protects the German mainland, it is certainly not truly invulnerable. American bombers carrying atomic bombs can still find opportunities and loopholes to fly into German airspace. But the possibility of being shot down by the German army is also very high), if Germany has an atomic bomb, it can be launched to the United States through a missile submarine (in fact, Germany cannot do it within one or two years, from launching missiles with submarines to using submarines There is still a big technical gap in launching missiles equipped with atomic bombs, but the top leaders of the United States are not sure whether Germany can use missile submarines to launch atomic bombs, so they dare not take risks, and then dare not carry out nuclear strikes on Germany after possessing atomic bombs), thus A strategic balance has been formed.

I can be sure that Roosevelt has hesitated now. First, if Germany possesses an atomic bomb ahead of the United States, and this is very possible, then the US military’s achievements on the battlefield will be greatly reduced. Second, even if it is conventional The United States and the US military have also paid a heavy price for the war.

Gentlemen, if the German army is attacking the mainland of the United States, the Americans will accept that the U.S. military has suffered countless casualties to defend the United States. But now the U.S. military has suffered countless casualties to save the United Kingdom. If the price is too high, the Americans will certainly not accept it.

Germany and the United States have reached a strategic balance of power, and if they reach a balance of interests, the war will naturally end.

Next, we can talk to the Americans while fighting!"

The German-American war took Britain as the main battlefield. After fighting for so long, Germany and the United States almost became a tie.

In Ireland, the German-Irish Allied Forces outperformed the Allied Forces (U.S. Army, British Army, and Canadian Army). First, the Irish military and civilians fully cooperated with the German Army. They regarded the German Army as a liberator and the Allied Forces as invaders. Britain, "Keep Britain first, keep Ireland second". Most of the Allied forces were used on the British battlefield, so naturally they were insufficient in the Irish battlefield; At the point of fighting, but the progress was indeed slow, and from time to time, the Allied forces counterattacked.

Overall, the German casualties were higher than those of the U.S. military (on the British battlefield, the German army had the support of the British army, while the U.S. military had the British and Canadian troops to assist the battle. Since this battle took place in the UK, the British army must fight desperately and cannot back down. To a large extent, the armed British army blocked bullets and topped the artillery fire in front of the US army. The British army borne a large number of casualties of the Allied forces, so the US military casualties were lower than the German army). It surpassed the U.S. military, so it can still hold on. Although the U.S. military has lower casualties than the German army, due to reasons that are well known and needless to say, the U.S. military has been somewhat unable to hold on. In addition, fighting requires a lot of national power. The British campaign It is completely a protracted war between Germany and the United States that consumes national power. On the British battlefield, the national power consumption of the United States is greater than that of Germany, but the overall national power of the United States greatly exceeds that of Germany. Not very strong.

For this British campaign, the German high-level officials were worried about "consuming too much national power (although the United States consumed more national power)", while the American high-level officials were worried about "too many casualties (although the German casualties were greater)". Everyone in the depths hopes that the Battle of Britain will end as soon as possible.

General Manstein, Chief of the Army General Staff, said: "My Fuhrer, I have a worry!"

"General Manstein, please speak!"

"My head of state, according to this trend, China will soon go to war against Japan. Although China and the United States are not allies, the two countries have a common enemy. In fact, the hatred between China and Japan is much greater than the hatred between the United States and Japan. Therefore, China wants to destroy Japan more than the United States.

I believe that the top leaders of the United States must be aware of this point. China is about to join the United States in attacking Japan. The burden on the United States will be greatly reduced, and China wants to destroy Japan even more. Then, the United States can completely reduce its military strength on the battlefield against Japan.

To put it bluntly, if we need to invest 100 military forces to eliminate Japan, at least 100 of the 90 military forces previously came from the United States, and 10 were from the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. After China joined the war against Japan, The United States can reduce its 90 shares of military power to 50 or even 30 shares. First, if China joins the war, the United States can certainly reduce its military input. Second, no matter how much the United States reduces its military input, China will make up for it.

My head of state, you can imagine such a picture, the Japanese army is in front, the Chinese army and the US military are preparing to attack the Japanese army, but the US military deliberately dawdles, procrastinates, and even eats chocolate and drinks coffee to watch the fun, aboveboard The land is passive and sabotage, what about the Chinese army?Even if the Chinese army knows that the U.S. military is unwilling to contribute, even if it does not get the cooperation of the U.S. military, it will attack the Japanese army alone. Why?Because China's participation in the battlefield against Japan is to destroy Japan, China is more urgent and urgent than the United States.

In addition, although China and the United States attack Japan together, they are only comrades-in-arms and not allies. China has no way to force the United States to go all out to attack Japan with China. In this way, the United States can sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight when China and Japan are at war. , and even reap the benefits of fishermen!"

"Oh, yes!" Goering nodded again and again, "Although there is not much conflict of interest between China and the United States, that little second Jiang has been tricking Roosevelt for the past two years, playing tricks on Roosevelt many times, and even more than He blackmailed Roosevelt once, and extorted at least one billion dollars from Roosevelt. It is no wonder that Roosevelt did not hold grudges! After the Sino-Japanese war broke out, the United States sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, and the serious ones secretly helped Japan and used Japan to consume China.

It is in the best interest of the United States that both China and Japan will suffer!"

Hitler frowned suddenly.

Manstein nodded: "The Chinese will fall into a difficult situation. At the same time, Germany and China are completely integrated, and the difficult situation of the Chinese will inevitably affect us.

My head of state, please think about it, after China goes to war with Japan, the United States can draw a large amount of military power from the battlefield against Japan, and then put it into the British battlefield to deal with us!My head of state, we will be in a difficult situation with the Chinese.

Although Japan is abominable, after all, it was with us to deal with the United States before, and now we have kicked it away, making it continue to be the enemy of the United States on the one hand, but can be used by the United States on the other hand.

My Führer, the situation is very complicated! "

Hitler's frown deepened.

The four main warring countries, the United States, Germany, China, and Japan, are divided into three camps, the American camp, the German-Chinese camp, and the Japanese camp. In the three camps of the four countries, the United States and Germany are at war, the United States and Japan are at war, China and Japan are at war, and China is at war with Japan. Together with the United States to deal with Japan, but China is in an alliance with Germany, the enemy of the United States.

Such a relationship cannot but be said to be intricate, and it is difficult to control the balance point.

After pondering for a while, Hitler ordered: "Call General Shang (Shang Zhen) over immediately!"

Washington, White House, Roosevelt's office.

After lighting a menthol-flavored cigarette, Roosevelt looked calmly at Ishihara, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "It's been a long time since a Japanese came to my office!"

"It is estimated that Chinese people come here often!" Ishihara Waner looked neither humble nor overbearing, but his words were hidden in the needle.

"From Hawaii to the Philippines, from the Southwest Pacific Islands to Australia, you Japanese have our American blood on your hands!" Roosevelt spewed out a smoke ring, "You kill American soldiers on the battlefield, not yours." Sin, the battlefield, you kill me and I kill you, everyone is the same, what I can't forgive is your brutal and cruel treatment of those American civilians and American prisoners who fell into your hands, you tortured them, abused them, and killed them As far as this is concerned, the United States will not be able to forgive Japan.

At this moment, countless American soldiers are fighting bloody battles to defeat you, and countless American workers are working desperately to defeat you, but I receive you in my office, which makes me deeply ashamed of my people.

Well, I believe you can understand my mood at this time.

Just talk if you have something to say, I only give you 15 minutes!"

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your profound understanding!" Ishihara nodded with a smile, and then said in an orderly manner, "The four major countries in the world, the United States, Germany, China and Japan, the United States has already fought Japan, and China is about to fight Japan. Germany's policy towards Japan must be the same as that of China Similarly, even if Germany does not directly go to war with Japan, it will support China to go to war with Japan.

Japan is indeed unable to resist the joint attack of the three major powers in the United States and Germany. If this fight continues, Japan will undoubtedly lose.

However, fortunately, God still left a glimmer of hope for Japan. Although the three major powers of the United States and Germany have to deal with Japan, the United States and Germany and China are not friends.

In fact, although Germany will fully support China, Germany's core interests are not in the Asia-Pacific region after all. Therefore, the next situation in the Asia-Pacific region will be three countries competing for hegemony, the United States, China, and Japan.

The United States has to deal with Japan, and China has to deal with Japan. Although the United States and China have to deal with Japan together, they are not friends. China's friend, Germany, is still the enemy of the United States.

Mr. President, the relationship between the United States, China and Japan is really interesting, isn't it? "

Roosevelt narrowed his eyes and showed a mocking smile: "Yes, it's really interesting!"

Ishihara smiled and continued: "Among the three countries of the United States, China and Japan, Japan's national strength is the weakest, and after nearly two years of war with the United States, Japan's national strength has been greatly damaged. Therefore, whether it is the United States and Japan one-on-one or China If Japan is one-on-one, Japan will be defeated. Both the United States and China have the strength to defeat Japan, not to mention that the United States and China will objectively deal with Japan together. Indeed, Japan is doomed!"
