Beiyang reactionaries

After Hideki Tojo entered 1942, the pressure has been very high, even to the point where he couldn't sleep all night.Japan is currently caught in a dilemma.Hideki Tojo's previous goal was very clear, to force the United States to sit on the negotiating table, to take down Australia and Burma.Once this is done, Japan will inevitably become a world power and can wrestle with any country in the world.

But now?

The first is Australia, which is a headache for Japan.Before, Japan really didn't put Australia in its eyes, thinking that it could be easily defeated.But after fighting the Australian army on Illian Island (New Guinea), the Japanese army was very surprised.Although the Japanese army won in the end, the combat effectiveness and tenacity displayed by the Australian army still surprised the Japanese army.

Too fierce.

The two sides fought a big battle, and in the end the Japanese army themselves suffered heavy losses.In the Battle of Irian Island, four divisions of the Japanese army were disabled, and two divisions were seriously injured.This is the biggest loss Japan has suffered since its invasion of Southeast Asia.Such casualties made the Japanese base camp unacceptable.

Now Australia has mobilized millions of troops in order to defend the country.Of course, it is said that millions of troops have been mobilized, but in fact the main force is only 50 million people.But these 50 million people have already made Hideki Tojo dare not underestimate him.Hideki Tojo knew that it was impossible to solve Australia without a million troops.However, it is absolutely very difficult to mobilize millions of troops and transport by sea. With the current strength of Japan, it is absolutely very difficult.

Because of the mobilization of troops with a scale of one million troops, more than 2000 landing craft and about 2000 transport ships must be mobilized.Where does Japan have such strength now.

In the world, only the United States, which produces more than 1000 million tons of various ships a year, can transport troops of this size by sea.Of course, Japan is not impossible, but Japan wants to do this, and all domestic ships must participate in this kind of transportation.

Australia's problems are complicated by difficulties in shipping.Then Myanmar is still unsolvable, especially the last Myitkyina area is still unavailable, which will deal the biggest blow to the Japanese army.

Having failed to capture Myitkyina, the British and Indian troops have been threatening the overall strategy of the Japanese army.Of course, what annoyed the Japanese army the most was that the result of being unable to win Myitkyina was that many countries in Southeast Asia began to separate from Germany.

Originally, when they saw the Japanese army sweeping across Southeast Asia, they felt that the Japanese army was really powerful.After all, Japan is the first country in Asia that dares to compete with these European and American whites.But when Japan failed to take Myitkyina after several attacks, everyone's thinking began to change. Everyone began to doubt whether Japan could really win, and whether the Japanese army could really take Myitkyina.As a result of this suspicion, they began to work with Japan.

Before Japan fought wars, they were very active in sending troops, but now they have left an excuse and right an excuse.They are all worried that Japan will fail in the end, and they will be liquidated by European and American countries.The fear of white people in Europe and America has been deeply engraved in their souls.

Of course these are small things.

What annoys Hideki Tojo the most is that the Americans are really not "interested".I have already lowered my stance and is willing to make concessions on certain issues, but the United States turned out to be indifferent.Roosevelt, the damn bastard, didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​negotiating.

And the United States also made Tojo Hideki a little afraid.

why?

American industry is really too strong.The Japanese navy has already hit the U.S. Navy several times, and it does not know how many U.S. warships have been sunk.Not to mention anything else, the large aircraft carrier alone sank 9 ships, and the light aircraft carrier and escort aircraft carrier combined sank more than 20 ships.Other battleships and cruisers also sank nearly 20 ships, and as for destroyers and escort destroyers, hundreds of ships were sunk.The same is true for submarines. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan sank more than 50 American submarines.

Also in the Indian Ocean, the Japanese Navy sank many US transport ships bound for India.

But what about the results?

American shipyards are like making dumplings. While supporting a large number of warships from the United States and the United Kingdom, they also have a large number of warships to use.Destroy a batch, produce a batch, and equip a batch.

Recently, there have also been small-scale naval battles between the U.S. and Japanese navies, and the U.S. Pacific Fleet has begun to arm large aircraft carriers and battleships again.This made Tojo Hideki a little overwhelmed.

Hideki Tojo was really worried.

I am worried that if this continues, the U.S. Navy will have more and more aircraft carriers and battleships.In comparison, Japan's industrial potential has almost been tapped, but the United States has only just exerted its strength.That's why Hideki Tojo was even more nervous.

"I'm very sorry."

Gu Zhengzhi frowned.

Then he said: "They have a lot of negotiations, and there are not many problems in some peripheral negotiations. We can find out. But the core content, that is, the summit meeting of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union, is too confidential, and we have not been able to get accurate information so far. content of the meeting."

"If you can't get it, you can't get it. This negotiation between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union cannot be for us, it should be for the European battlefield."

Hideki Tojo waved his hand.

Although Hideki Tojo attaches great importance to the Quebec meeting, Hideki Tojo understands one thing.In the current situation, the main target of the negotiations between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union should be Germany, which has nothing to do with Japan.

The Soviet Union was beaten by China and had no influence in the Far East and could not threaten Japan.Britain and Japan are fighting in Burma, but in the current situation, Britain has been beaten by Germany and has no energy to take care of Asian affairs.

Judging from the current situation, their meeting should be to discuss how to deal with Germany.

"China participated in this meeting, what exactly was discussed? This is the important thing."

Hideki Tojo was not concerned about the negotiations between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, but China, and wanted to know what the purpose of China's participation in this meeting was.

There are not many countries participating in the Quebec conference, but there are also many.

Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union are the core, and they are the main negotiating countries.But in addition to the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union, some other countries also sent representatives.Such as Free France, Canada, South Africa, and Australia, of course, these countries are all anti-fascist alliance countries, so it is logical to participate in this meeting.After all, these countries are all followers, and the British, American and Soviet Union held meetings, and of course their younger brothers would also participate.

But there are also some neutral countries participating in this meeting.

Mainly China, Türkiye, and Spain are several heavyweight neutral countries.

The Quebec conference invited the three most important neutral countries at present.Speaking of neutral countries, the first thing everyone thinks of is Sweden and Switzerland, but in fact the two most important neutral countries in World War II are Turkey and Spain.

Especially Türkiye.

That's a really smart country.During World War II, Turkey was a neutral country, and neither the Axis nor the Anti-Fascist Alliance wanted to offend Turkey.It is because Türkiye's geographical location is too important.If Türkiye falls to any group, it will deal a big blow to the other party.Therefore, both the Axis and the Anti-Fascist Alliance are wooing Türkiye.

The result is that Britain helps Turkey develop technology and develop infrastructure.And Germany is helping Türkiye's national defense construction.Turkey is swinging between the Axis powers and the anti-fascist alliance, and has gained a lot of benefits.

In fact, there are many smart countries in the world.

The neutral countries in World War II claimed to be neutral countries on the surface, but in fact they were all beneficiaries of the war, a group of "sanctified" bastard countries.Like Switzerland, that was the largest money laundering country in Europe during World War II.How much Nazi money flowed into Switzerland, and Switzerland also helped Germany purchase a large amount of supplies.

After the cooperation between Spain and China, it became an important trade center in Europe.Chinese goods flowed into the Axis countries such as Germany and Italy, and also into the anti-fascist alliance countries such as Britain.Relying on this in the middle, Spain makes a lot of money in the middle and restores the economy damaged by the civil war.

Even those countries as far away as South America were beneficiaries of World War II.Non-stop selling supplies to both sides of the war to obtain a lot of economic benefits.

It can be seen that these so-called neutral countries are all making war fortunes.

For the Quebec meeting, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union also invited China, neutral countries such as Turkey and Spain.

"We have complete information on this. Countries like China, Turkey, and Spain are not heavyweights. Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union negotiated with them to let these countries sever relations with us."

"The results of it?"

"None of these three countries has made a clear statement. The representatives of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union have not been too forceful, but the meaning is already obvious. They are ready to let these neutral countries choose their camp."

"damn it."

Hideki Tojo looked ugly.

These neutral countries, whether it be the Axis powers or the anti-fascist alliance, are very annoying.Because these neutral countries stepped on two boats and made a lot of war fortune.Now Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union hope that these neutral countries will stand in the anti-fascist alliance.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Come in."

"Prime Minister, news from Kunming in China. China, North Korea, Thailand, Myanmar, and Vientiane have issued the 'Kunming Statement' and signed the 'Kunming Treaty'. Formally announced the establishment of the Chinese Federation."

712

"The five countries officially announced the establishment of the Chinese Federation."

"Damn."

"boom--"
