I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Gentlemen, Japan will definitely be defeated, conquered and even perish, but we cannot make wedding dresses for the Chinese. How can we end up with nothing after paying so much?At the very least, after the defeat, Japan should be occupied equally by the United States and China, and we will also take back the Philippines and other territories that belonged to us!"

"But...Mr. President, the Chinese are still clinging to our Oahu Island!" Admiral Marshall whispered, "One day until Oahu Island is recovered, it will be difficult for us to compete with the Chinese. Get the initiative!"

"Yes, that's why Oahu is the key!" Roosevelt narrowed his eyes, "China has already gone to war with Japan, and now I have nothing under Jiang Weiguo's control, and the only thing he still controls is Oahu.

After recovering Oahu Island, the Chinese will be fully dominated by us, and the initiative will be completely in our hands. At that time, I will take the initiative to propose comprehensive cooperation to the Chinese high-level, and the United States and China will defeat Japan together. They will not refuse. , because they have no more cards to play, and they are not qualified to bargain with us.

After the U.S. and China jointly defeated Japan, the Korean Peninsula and Hokkaido Island could be allocated to China, and perhaps an additional Ryukyu Islands could be allocated to the Chinese to appease them, but Japan’s Honshu Island, Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island, the Philippine Islands, The islands must all be given to us!Gentlemen, on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, only we, the United States, dominate. On the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, there are two powerful countries, China and Japan. Japan is weaker and can be defeated and conquered. China is much stronger and bigger than Japan. It is indeed difficult to defeat and conquer. After this war is over, the Japanese Empire will no longer exist, and half of Japan will become a tool for us to encircle, blockade, and contain China after the war. Suppressed in the Asian continent, so that it cannot expand into the Pacific Ocean, this is the best war outcome for the United States!Gentlemen, we must take Oahu! "

At the Supreme Military Conference in Nanjing.

"Oahu is the last card we have to restrain the Americans!" Jiang Weiguo's eyes were burning and his tone was iron, "Once the U.S. military regains Oahu, we will no longer be able to speak confidently to the Americans.

If Oahu is lost, in the next war, although it is almost impossible for the United States to start a war against China, it does not rule out that the United States will collude with Japan to start a war against China. Even if the Americans are willing to join us to defeat Japan, how to fight, after the fight How to divide the results of the war, we all have to obey the arrangements of the Americans. Obviously, we can only share the leftovers after the Americans eat.

In order to be able to obtain the greatest victory after the war, we must be on an equal footing with the Americans and even allow the Americans to be controlled by us. Oahu Island is the key among the keys and cannot be lost. As long as Oahu Island is under our control, the Americans will be Had to come up with more benefits to us.

In fact, as long as we control the island of Oahu, we control the whole of Hawaii. This is an extremely heavy chip, enough to make the Americans bow their proud heads to us.

As long as we defeat and repel the U.S. military on Oahu, we will take the initiative to invite the U.S. government to join us in defeating Japan. The U.S. government cannot refuse, and it is even more impossible to secretly collude with the Japanese to deal with us. At that time, China and the U.S. will defeat Japan together and share equally For the Japanese territory, we will use Oahu Island to exchange the Japanese territory won by the US military with the Americans. This is the best outcome of the war against China.

Guys, we must hold Oahu! "

He Yingqin said hesitantly: "After all, Oahu Island is only a tiny place. The area of ​​the island is only more than 1500 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a county. Even the entire Hawaiian Islands are only more than 700 square kilometers. Such a small place can really Force the U.S. government to give us an area dozens or even hundreds of times the size of Hawaii after the war?"

Jiang Weiguo smiled and said: "Taiwan Island has an area of ​​about 3.58 square kilometers, and Alaska has an area of ​​about 172 million square kilometers, which is 48 times that of Taiwan Island.

Mr. He, if the US government proposes to exchange their Alaska for our Taiwan island, would you be willing? "

He Yingqin shook his head: "Of course not!"

Jiang Weiguo deliberately looked surprised: "Why don't you want to? Alaska is so big! Much bigger than Taiwan Island.

In my opinion, this deal looks very cost-effective! "

He Yingqin said helplessly: "First, although Taiwan Island is small, it is close to the mainland of our country. It is not only the necessary place for our country to reach the Pacific Ocean, but also the throat of maritime traffic in East Asia, Southeast Asia and other places. It has great strategic value. High, is it comparable to Alaska, which is desolate and bitterly cold, located on the border of the Arctic? Second, no matter how small Taiwan Island is, it is Chinese territory after all. No matter how small the Chinese territory is, it will be more important to us Chinese than any foreign land more meaningful!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded with a smile: "So, for the same reason, the U.S. government will definitely exchange Hawaii with other places that are dozens or even hundreds of times larger in size!"

The game between countries is like playing cards. The more good cards you have in your hand and the more banknotes you have in front of you, the more confident you will be, and the more choices you will have when playing cards to bet.

Undoubtedly, in this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the Pacific", the Japanese with the fewest cards naturally have the fewest choices, and the risk is also the greatest when playing cards.

Roosevelt and Jiang Weiguo were cautious when thinking about the situation and formulating strategies. In comparison, the mood of the Japanese high-level leaders when thinking about the situation and formulating strategies was completely on thin ice, because Japan is the most unaffected among the three countries. , the price will be the subjugation of the country and species.

"The Americans and the Chinese are now completely tearing their skins apart and even fighting. It is really a blessing for the empire!" Nagano's self-cultivation is full of red. Over the past year or so, especially after the Battle of Guadalcanal, which is known as the "turning point of the Pacific War", he has become more and more serious. The deteriorating war situation made him anxious. After China and Japan turned against each other, Nagano Xiushen and many Japanese high-level officials were even more out of their wits, because the United States alone has made Japan continue to slide into the abyss. Adding China, Japan is destined to be lost forever. And the date of death was greatly advanced, but unexpectedly, not only did China and the United States not join forces to deal with Japan, but they fought each other. Such a new situation of "no good luck" made Nagano Shoushen and others feel very happy. When they are in a good mood, their complexions will naturally change "The complexion is ruddy and shiny".

Shigetaro Shimada nodded with a smile on his face: "Masters, I believe that such a twisted situation must be the spirit of Emperor Jimmu protecting Japan.

Back then, the Mongol Empire tried to cross the sea to invade Japan twice in a row, but the fleet was overturned and sunk by the strong winds raised by Emperor Jimmu's heroic spirit twice in a row. Now, Emperor Jimmu has appeared again!Japan will surely save the day and turn the crisis into safety!As long as we seize the opportunity and follow the sky, the empire can stand forever!The great cause of the empire is also God's will! "

Gu Hefeng was relatively calm, he said: "Although the current new situation is indeed bright, we must not relax, let alone waste time.

The U.S. and Chinese armies are engaged in a fierce battle in Hawaii. Both countries have no time to take care of the empire. The empire must take advantage of this opportunity to prepare its troops, reorganize its troops, shrink the defense area, consolidate the front line, and do the best possible combat preparations. Don’t forget, the empire During the war with the United States, the empire and China have already started a substantial war, and the war is far from over! "

Fubu Takeshi Toyoda added: "When the US and China start a war, the empire must seize the time to prepare for the war with a strong army, and on the other hand, it must make full use of the contradictions between the US and China.

Before the Battle of Oahu, the relationship between the United States and China has always been "neither enemy nor friend, nor enemy nor friend". Now, the two countries are completely enemies.

The empire is sandwiched between the United States and China, and it is bound to have both sides.

China was unable to deal with both the empire and the United States, and it was difficult for the United States to deal with both the empire and China.

In my opinion, the feud between the Empire and China is as deep as the sea, and the Chinese people are even more despicable and shameless, using the Empire first and then abandoning the Empire with sinister intentions. The empire can rely on the United States to counteract China, and the United States also needs the empire to deal with China. Since the two sides have common interests, they can shake hands and make peace!"

High-level Japanese leaders have repeatedly studied the situation of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the Pacific", and believe that the three countries of the United States, China and Japan will eventually have the following four outcomes:

First, the armistice of the Three Kingdoms coexisted, presenting a tripartite confrontation.

This outcome is the most favorable for Japan, but also the most difficult to achieve;

Second, Japan surrenders to the United States (or surrenders to the United States) and becomes a vassal state of the United States; - in the eyes of the Japanese, as long as the emperor does not become a prisoner of the Americans and the Japanese territory is not occupied by the US military (as the last resort, it can Handing over some of Japan's remote and remote areas to the U.S. military for "symbolic occupation"), Japan is not a defeated country, even if it has achieved a "decent truce";

Third, Japan was defeated and divided between the United States and China;

Fourth, Japan is defeated and dominated by China—this is the worst possible outcome. Japan can still survive if it loses to the United States. If it loses to China, it will directly destroy the country, because the purpose of the war in the United States is to defeat Japan, and the purpose of the war in China It is the destruction of Japan.

Japan's high-level officials naturally hope that the outcome of the war will be the first, but the possibility of realization is too low, so they have to retreat to the second and hope that Japan will "surrender to the United States" instead of "surrender to the United States."

However, the Americans will not accept the Japanese's refuge without conditions. They will definitely settle accounts with some Japanese. This "some Japanese" is naturally the "small group of Japanese war madmen" who provoked the Pacific War. The Americans What they hate the most is them, that is, many high-level members of the Japanese navy. In addition, because the Japanese army has done bad things in the Philippines, Australia and other battlefields, the Americans also hate some people in the Japanese army.

It is conceivable that even if Japan takes refuge in the United States and the United States is willing to accept Japan's support, a large number of high-level personnel and activists in the Japanese army and navy will definitely be hanged or sent to prison by the Americans, such as Yamamoto 56, he Destined to be one of the top ten Japanese who Americans want to settle accounts after the fall, but the "sacrifice" of these people is worth it, because their "sacrifice" can be exchanged for Japan's survival from desperation, and they will basically choose He died without regret and was willingly handed over to the US government as a scapegoat by the Japanese government to kill or imprison him.

In this regard, Yamamoto 56 and others have actually thought of it more or less and are mentally prepared.

Prince Bo Gong looked at Shi Yuan and smiled: "Shi Yuan, what do you think?"

Ishihara smiled sneeringly: "Your optimism and self-confidence really amaze me!" He opened the document bag he brought, and took out a piece of rice paper, "A few days ago, I felt something and drew it down. After reading this clumsy painting, please give me some pointers!" He said, spreading out the rice paper.

Seeing the painting on the paper, the smiles or relaxed expressions on the faces of Prince Bo Gong and others froze, and then faded away.

In the painting, a rabbit that is forced to the edge of a cliff is trembling. Near the rabbit, a vicious python and a hungry eagle are fighting inextricably.

Prince Bo Gong is a smart person, of course he knows that the hungry eagle refers to the United States, the symbol of the United States is the bald eagle, the evil python refers to China, the symbol of China is the dragon, and the python is similar to the dragon. As for which rabbit refers to China, the answer is self-evident, Prince Bogong and others are extremely reluctant to admit it but have to admit it in their hearts.

"The rabbit has been forced to the edge of the cliff, and there is no way to escape. It will either be swallowed by the evil python, eaten by the hungry eagle, or torn in half by the evil python and the hungry eagle. The reason why the evil python and the hungry eagle The fight was so intense that it was just to decide who would own the rabbit to itself!" Ishihara said coldly, "Would the rabbit be happy to see the vicious python fighting with the hungry eagle? It even took its own Isn't it absurd to pin the hope of survival on the small possibility that the evil python and the hungry eagle will die together? Doesn't it know that no matter who wins or loses, the evil python and the hungry eagle will be reduced to a meal?"

Undoubtedly, Ishihara Waner's words were the same as many words he had said before, harsh and ugly, and even seemed very unlucky and unlucky, but no one refuted or scolded at the scene.

Everyone at the scene is high-level decision makers in Japan, and they disdain to deceive themselves like those grassroots soldiers and ordinary civilians.

After a long time, Prince Bo Gong let out a long and heart-wrenching sigh. In his opinion, it is a shame and sorrow for every Japanese that the great Japanese Empire has been reduced to such a situation today. The Great Japanese Empire should It was one of the tiger wolves participating in the competition, not the deer being chased by the tiger wolf.

"No matter how much the evil python and the hungry eagle try to swallow that rabbit alone, they will not lose their lives for it!" Ishihara smiled calmly, "The empire has a deep hatred with the United States, and the empire has a deep hatred with China, but there is a deep hatred between the United States and China. There is not much hatred, just like the vicious python and the hungry eagle, they attack each other not to kill each other, but just to snatch the rabbit, if the price to be paid is too high, they can choose to give up Fight each other and choose which rabbit to share.

Whether it is a vicious python or a hungry eagle, neither will, will not, and there is no need to risk their own lives for a piece of meat to fill their stomachs.

As you can see, although the United States and China have fought on Oahu, the governments of the two countries have not declared war on each other, and the militaries of the two countries have not taken much action elsewhere.

China is afraid of the United States, and the United States is also afraid of China, no matter how tempting that rabbit is, they will not fight with their lives, they will only click to the end!"

Yong Ye Xiushen and others were silent, expressing their acquiescence, and Prince Bogong nodded, signaling Ishihara Waner to continue.

Ishihara sighed with a smile: "The fierce battle between the United States and China on Oahu is naturally a good thing for the empire, but it is by no means a turning point.

The reason why the Battle of Oahu broke out was actually a struggle between the governments of the United States and China.

China wants to defeat and monopolize Japan, and so does the United States. The intentions of the two sides are the same. Both countries have bargaining chips. The bargaining chip of the United States is its strength.

Let me use a very vulgar but vivid analogy. Both the United States and China want to own a piece of the cake, so they fight. The testicles of the United States—Oahu Island is held by China. As long as China keeps holding the testicles of the United States, no matter how strong the United States is, it has to listen to China. On the contrary, the United States only needs to let its testicles be freed , China has to listen to the United States, it's that simple.

What the United States is doing now is to recover Oahu Island, and make itself the protagonist and China a supporting role in the next joint war with China against Japan. In Japan's war, let itself be the protagonist and the United States a supporting role, that's all.

If you think that the United States and China will break out in an all-out war because of this, it is a big mistake, naive and superficial thinking, and the Battle of Oahu Island will not be fought for long, if the price the United States needs to pay to regain Oahu Island It's too big. Why doesn't the U.S. government find another way to resolve this matter with China at the negotiating table?In fact, neither the United States nor China wants to waste too much time and spend too much military power on Oahu, because they know that what they really want to defeat is not the other side, but Japan, which is watching from the sidelines.

I estimate that if the U.S. military spends two months on Oahu with more than 10 casualties but still fails to capture Oahu, the U.S. government will give up using force to regain Oahu and choose to start negotiations with the Chinese government instead. !"

"So..." Ugaki said sullenly, "No matter what the outcome of the Battle of Oahu is, the empire can only wait for death?"

Ishihara smiled silently for a moment. Obviously, as a Japanese, even though he has a brilliant mind, it is difficult for him to accept the status quo that Japan has fallen into such a situation of being a mermaid.

After a pause, Ishihara smiled and continued: "According to the current situation of Oahu's tenacious resistance of the Chinese army and the frustration of the US offensive, this battle is nothing more than two results. Second, the U.S. military suffered a disastrous defeat and was repulsed by the Chinese army. Oahu Island continues to be in the hands of the Chinese army, and the result will inevitably be decided within two months, because time is also very critical for the United States and China. , none of them want to give us too much breathing room because of their fighting.

In my opinion, there are only two ways for the empire to go now. One is to take a prudent line and adopt an attitude of sitting on the hills and watching the tigers fight against the US-China struggle. The joint attack of the U.S. and Chinese troops after the acceptance of the Battle of Taiwan Island; the second is to take the route of seeking victory while taking risks!"

Prince Bo Gong's eyes flashed brightly: "How to win in danger?"

Ishihara Wanji did not directly answer Prince Bogong's question, but calmly analyzed: "Last time, when I was on a mission to the United States, I presented my idea to Roosevelt face to face. I could tell that Roosevelt was really interested, but he didn't He was not really tempted. According to my guess, the reason why Roosevelt was only interested but not really tempted was because the United States feared China and Germany behind China. Japan and China are sworn enemies. It is equivalent to directly making enemies with China, and Roosevelt has to think carefully about this; secondly, Roosevelt does not believe us, he maintains deep vigilance against us, and suspects that we are playing some conspiracy and tricks, Jiang Weiguo has already used him, he does not want to We are used again; the third is that Roosevelt doubts our value, if we want to be used by Americans, we must have enough use value, and Americans have not clearly realized this yet!"

"So?" Yu Yuantang was a little impatient and repelled.

Ugaki Sen is a typical Japanese soldier. He has always been arrogant and has a strong "great power mentality". He firmly believes that Japan is a "noble and exclusive" country. A small role on the stage made Ugaraki feel unbearably disgusted.

Ishihara Waner showed a strange look, and he said slowly: "I never pinned my hope of success on the possibility of small probability. When I launched the 'Manchuria Incident' (September [-] Incident), many people thought I was It is risky, but in fact, after long-term and accurate calculations, I think the success rate is as high as [-]%, so I launched it boldly.

I am not an adventurous person.

Please forgive me, there are only three ways for Japan to go in the future. One is to die in China, the other is to lose to the United States, and the third is to lose half to China and half to the United States.

Among the three ways, the best is the second one, which is defeated by the United States and has become a subsidiary country of the United States since then.

If it is the first article, Japan is really doomed.

As long as we recognize this cruel fact, we should rationally and rationally plan ahead.

Although the United States is powerful, it is now deeply involved in three major battlefields. One is the war between the United States and Germany, the other is the war with the empire, and the third is a local war with China. Tired.

Under such circumstances, if we let the United States get out of the Japan-US war earlier, wouldn't we be able to get more benefits and more relaxed truce conditions?Please imagine that a friend in adversity is a friend in adversity. We are now in the most troubled period for the United States to take the initiative to take refuge in the United States, end the Japan-US war, and let the United States withdraw from one of the three major battlefields, so that it can better deal with Germany and China. Isn’t this a move to the United States? The best way to prove our sincerity?In addition, if we fight the United States to the end, and make the United States exhausted, consume countless national power, delay a lot of time, and kill and wound countless soldiers before defeating us, can we still get a good end after turning to the United States?The stronger the resistance, the more miserable the end will be after failure, isn't it?Right now, it is precisely our best chance to take refuge in the United States!We must take practical measures, such as immediately handing over a large number of sites, sending troops to help the US military seize Oahu Island, and the Chinese Navy's fleet..."

"Enough!" Prince Bogong's face turned black when he heard it, "Ishihara, you are indeed very smart, but your ideas are really unflattering! Because your thinking is completely contrary to the spirit of the Yamato nation! You have a strong Analyzing the war with a negative and pessimistic attitude has led to such a depressing and gloomy result! Our Yamato nation has been established for more than 3000 years! What is the basis of the national system that has lasted for more than 3000 years? Waquan's Yamato soul! What the empire needs now is victory! It is not a sum! I thought you would talk about some clever strategy of "seeking victory in danger", but I didn't expect you to talk about how to surrender more comfortably! Ishihara, you really disappoint me!"

Shi Yuan smiled and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute, but in the end he didn't speak, because he knew it was useless.

Most of the rest of the people at the scene had expressions of displeasure and dissatisfaction. At first, they thought that Ishihara Waner would have some "smart tricks", but they didn't expect that the more they listened, the more wrong they became. In the end, Ishihara Waner's words had already made them feel Disgusted.

Prince Hiroko held back his anger, but the remaining anger still persisted. He waved his hand and looked at Yamamoto 56, who had never said anything: "Now, let's talk about the fleet of the China Navy! What does the China Navy want to do? Do you want it?" Cooperate with its army to attack the imperial Korean peninsula? Is the imperial navy going to intercept it?"

Chapter 745 Intrigue (2)

Yamamoto 56 could have been Jiang Weiguo's "best friend" in the Japanese navy, but he never dreamed that Jiang Weiguo had been using him, the Japanese navy, and the whole of Japan. Mercilessly kicked him away, kicked away the Japanese navy, and kicked away the whole of Japan. Only then did Yamamoto 56 wake up from a dream, and then he realized that in Jiang Wei's domestic heart, Japan was never regarded as an ally of China at all, and there was no such thing as an ally of China. Consider yourself his friend.

It is conceivable that Yamamoto 56 suffered a heavy psychological blow. In fact, Jiang Weiguo made a "false friend" with him and used him to "betray" him, not the main reason why he felt disillusioned. He found out with a icy coldness that the whole of Japan was going to a dead end under Jiang Weiguo's calculation.

A German newspaper once published such a four-frame cartoon: On the first frame, a frog with "Japan" written on its body was dying in the desert, and was about to die of thirst. Jiang Weiguo's face was full of sincerity. He brought a pot of cold water with a smile, and invited the "Japanese" frog to jump in; on the second frame, the "Japanese" frog took a bath in the pot of cold water comfortably and thanked Jiang Weiguo, but Jiang Weiguo lit the bottom of the pot. A fire; on the third frame, the water in the pot was slowly heated up and steam began to come out. The "Japanese" frog said to Jiang Weiguo, "The water seems to be getting hotter." Jiang Weiguo picked up a pot with a sincere smile The lid of the pot is ready to be put on the pot; in the fourth frame, the screams of "Japanese" frogs can be heard from the pot where the water has been completely boiled, and the sincere smile on Jiang Weiguo's face turned into a grin at the same time.

I don't know who created this four-frame cartoon, but I have to say that the cartoon is really ingenious and realistic.

The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Guadalcanal made Yamamoto 56 almost lose his head overnight. Although it is said that "victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs", some defeats are indeed unaffordable to lose.

After the Battle of Guadalcanal, Yamamoto 56 and other high-level Japanese knew that it was impossible for Japan to defeat the United States. The only hope for Japan was to fight the United States to the end with the full assistance of allies such as China and Germany, especially China, in order to obtain a decent As a result of the armistice, I did not expect that China or Jiang Weiguo would suddenly "rebel against the water" at the most difficult time for Japan, which caused Japan's already completely unfavorable war situation to deteriorate completely.

At this time, no one could know what Yamamoto 56 thought of Jiang Weiguo in his heart.

It is said that Wanji Ishihara, who "has always seen through the true face of Jiang Weiguo", once found Yamamoto 56 in private, and said in a faint tone: "You are just like the whole of Japan, so naive that you believed in Jiang Weiguo's malicious 'friendship', and you died in the end. Only at the end of the day did I realize that I was a big fool!" Suffering two major setbacks in succession, the Guadalcanal fiasco and "being ruthlessly betrayed by a close friend", Yamamoto 56 at this time was completely different from before. He is at least ten years older than his real age, most of his hair has turned gray, his face is haggard, his expression is dull, and his mental state is as muddled and drowsy as sleepwalking.

Many Japanese high-ranking officials thought that "General Yamamoto's health and spirit are not as good as before, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue to shoulder the important task of leading the combined fleet." An idle job, "go home and recuperate", but many people think that "it is a taboo for military strategists to change generals just before the battle. The imperial navy is currently fighting in full swing, so it is not appropriate to replace the commander of the joint fleet who was the commander of the joint fleet before the war and who is in the imperial navy." Yamamoto with high prestige and almost no one to replace", this allowed Yamamoto 56 to continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet.

"Yamamoto-kun?" Seeing that Yamamoto 56 was still looking too fuzzy, Prince Hiroko slightly accentuated his tone.

Yamamoto 56 came back to his senses and put his thoughts on the business: "His Royal Highness, gentlemen, this aircraft carrier fleet of the Chinese Navy is going to Hawaii to fight the US military!"

"What?" Everyone at the scene was taken aback, only Ishihara Waner showed a thoughtful expression.

"Why do you think so?" Prince Bogong's eyes shot out again.

"Because..." Yamamoto 56 showed an extremely complicated wry smile, "Jiang Weiguo told me this!"
