The guest was a young white man in his thirties, with a boxy Chinese character face and a pair of black wooden-rimmed glasses, looking a bit rigid.He is the new US ambassador to China, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller.In Luo Yaoguo's memory, this person was re-elected as the Governor of New York State four times, and also served as the Vice President of the United States from 30 to 1974.And his father is the famous American billionaire John D. Rockefeller Jr. Ten years ago, when Luo Yaoguo went to the United States to raise funds for domestic heavy industry construction, he had some contacts with John D. Rockefeller Jr.
"Mr. Ambassador, welcome to China." Luo Yaoguo stretched out his hand and shook Nelson Rockefeller lightly, then waved his hand to signal him to sit down on a high-back armrest sofa, and then sat beside him.
"Your Excellency Marshal, you can call me Nelson, because I am here to meet you today not as an American ambassador, but as an ordinary American." Nelson Rockefeller also glanced at the night scene of Wuhan outside the window, and sighed softly , said: "The night scene in Wuhan is much more depressed than when I saw it last year."
"War, it's all caused by this war, even the United States is probably depressed because of this war?"
Luo Yaoguo's voice was not loud, but Nelson Rockefeller's expression changed.Luo Yaoguo stood up and took a few steps, then turned his head and said coldly: "In November last year, I proposed that the new post-war world order should be jointly dominated by China, the United States, and Germany. But at that time, President Roosevelt was against such a Suggestions are not interested at all... As a result, Japan's crazy adventures have pushed the United States and the future world to a dangerous point."
Doesn't the Chinese marshal support Japan's war against the United States?Then it seems that his mission is possible to achieve.Nelson Rockefeller wondered to himself.
In the United States, high-level people already know that the United States can always win the war against Japan.But China and Germany do not seem to be something the United States can defeat.
Although the United States is the richest country in the world, it is not more money than anyone else in wars!Otherwise, a poor Japan would not embarrass the United States so much.While suffering successive failures in the Pacific battlefield, some disharmonious factors also appeared in the United States.Of course, this factor is by no means "anti-war" as many people imagined. The US territory is being invaded!Under such circumstances, the vast majority of American citizens still firmly stand on the standpoint of defending the country.
Rather, it was once very active in the 30s, and the American Nazi forces that gradually died out after Roosevelt's New Deal began to revive!
Recently, such a public opinion has begun to appear in American newspapers: the fundamental reason for the unfavorable situation of the United States in the Pacific War is American liberalism!It is precisely because of liberalism that the U.S. Army was in an extremely weak state before the war, and it is precisely because of this liberalism that the United States has become a rich but not strong country!puts the United States at great risk.
And to save the United States of America in distress, the only way out is to learn from the rapidly rising Germany and China, and turn a weak liberal United States into a powerful fascist United States!
This kind of sound is not mainstream now, but it is already how many times louder than when the Hawaiian Islands fell!At the beginning, it was only some non-mainstream small newspapers advocating, but now, including the "New York Times", "Washington Post" and other major newspapers, such articles are being published.And Nelson Rockefeller came to China to become the US ambassador to China, which is also related to these trends of thought.
The big conglomerates who actually rule the United States certainly do not want the United States to become a fascist country, which means that the bosses of these consortiums lose the possibility of manipulating American politics behind the scenes.A powerful fascist government has a thousand ways to make consortiums become slaves of the government... However, if one must choose between losing America and a fascist America, apart from Jewish chaebols like the Morgan family, other major American The consortium is still willing to choose the fascist United States.
Even before Nelson Rockefeller came to the United States, he heard that the heads of several large conglomerates in the United States (not including the Morgan family, of course) held a secret meeting in an office on Wall Street and reached an agreement that "if it doesn't work, we will support the fascist decision".At the same time, these American capitalists with a sense of social responsibility also decided that before this "in case" comes, they should cooperate with the government to save the United States as much as possible!After all, the United States actually belongs to them.Moreover, there are rumors that President Roosevelt's Secretary of Commerce, Harry Hopkins, also participated in this secret meeting...
Regarding the veracity of these rumors, Nelson Rockefeller did not go to his father to confirm. If his father thought it was necessary to let him know, he would naturally tell him.However, he was appointed as the US ambassador to China on the third day after hearing these rumors!Then he took the dual special mission of the US government and the US consortium, and traveled to Wuhan, the capital of the Republic of China.
Luo Yaoguo seemed to understand his special mission, and looked at him coldly, "Mr. Rockefeller, you already know that rich and strong are not the same thing? It is impossible for the rich to dominate the world! Only the strong can dominate everything."
"Unfortunately, China is not really strong, you are just big!" Rockefeller shrugged and smiled mockingly: "Marshal, in the eyes of a real strong, big and rich are probably a piece of fat, right? Then we Why don't two pieces of fat join together?"
"What about the conditions of the union?" Luo Yaoguo didn't beat around the bush, and started to inquire directly.
Rockefeller smiled, and slapped Luo Yaoguo in front of him, "We will give China 50 billion dollars! In exchange for you completely giving up supporting Japan! Stop all exports of strategic materials to Japan, and close the transportation lines to East Siberia."
"50 billion US dollars? Grant or loan?" Luo Yaoguo raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Loan with 3% interest and a term of 50 years."
"This...can your Congress approve it?"
Hearing this, Nelson Rockefeller grinned. "My marshal, you seem to have misunderstood. The money is paid by us, not by the US government."
"you!"
Rockefeller smiled deeply: "Yes, we are the Rockefeller family, the Morgan family, the Dupont family, the Mellon family, and some other American billionaire families. The 50 billion US dollars was pooled by our few families."
Luo Yaoguo took a breath, looked at the young master of the Rockefeller family in front of him, and said with a smile: "Since the funds are provided by the consortium, then... I want 100 billion US dollars! In your United States, private money is much more than the state."
Hearing the asking price, Nelson Rockefeller nodded without the slightest hesitation, and said with a smile, "Deal! $100 billion is $100 billion. For the sake of the country, these small sums are nothing."
After the two reached an agreement on the principle of betraying Japan, they spent most of the night negotiating some details. It was not until the next day, when the sky was light, that Nelson Rockefeller quietly left by car through the back door of the General Staff Building. .
After sending Nelson Rockefeller away, Luo Yaoguo returned to his office, sat down on a sofa, let out a long sigh, and said to Natalie, "Natalie, go to Beihai Provincial Chairman Shen Xingye Telegram, ask him to restore the operation of the Siberian Railway. Then call Minister Deng of the Ministry of Communications and try our best to rush to transport the "materials to aid Japan", and we must complete all plans for this year before the end of April."
"What? Didn't you already..." Natalie froze for a moment, but didn't even move.
Luo Yaoguo looked up at the woman who had followed him for many years, and smiled lightly: "Americans will not be able to pay their down payment to our secret Swiss bank account until May 5st. From May 1st, Japan will no longer Got any supplies from China! However, before that... we still have to fulfill our ally obligations!"
"Then you are not afraid of Japan becoming bigger in America? If Hitler really defeats France in May or June, he may be able to directly export supplies and troops from Europe to America."
Luo Yaoguo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Now everyone is confused by a false impression, thinking that the United States is rich but not strong, and that the American army is vulnerable... This is actually not the case. The Japanese style of play was caught off guard. Their army was too small before the war, and the navy suffered heavy losses due to surprise attacks by Japan, so the scene was so ugly. Wait a few more months for the Americans to recover Now that the son is here, it is Japan's turn to fight hard."
"Then will Germany land in North America?"
"Hitler has already changed his mind." Luo Yaoguo's face sank, he nodded, and said in thought: "He tried it in Petersburg once, and his mind is very clear, knowing that Germany is the most powerful of China, the United States and Germany, and China is next, and the United States is the weakest... If he joins us to destroy the United States after defeating Britain and France, then the whole world will belong to Germany."
"Then what should we do then?" Natalie looked anxious.
"He has big thoughts! And since this Hitler has made up his mind, he won't give up easily! We can only take one step at a time." At this point, Luo Yaoguo frowned and didn't continue.
……
China suddenly "lifted the ban" on the Siberian Railway and began to provide supplies to Japan with all its strength, which immediately excited the Japanese side.In their view, there is only one explanation for this behavior, and that is China's concession under pressure from Germany!Japan, on the other hand, successfully captured China and became Germany's agent in the Eastern world... Maybe not yet, but as long as Japan behaves well and let Hitler see the value of Japan, then one day, the German-Japanese alliance will replace China. The German alliance, and Japan's national fortune will also be reversed.
In order to repay Germany's "gratitude", the Japanese Minister of Army and Navy unanimously proposed a new offensive plan at the cabinet meeting-the A battle plan.This battle plan called for concentrating most of the forces of the combined fleet and as much sealift capacity as possible, and then launching a large-scale attack on the west coast of North America.Strive to bring the flames of war to the continental United States!
Seeing such an "extremely crazy" combat plan, Japanese Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe was greatly shocked. He questioned Nagata Tetsuzan and Yamamoto Eisuke at a cabinet meeting: "Have the army and navy gone crazy? With Japan's national strength It is already a miracle to be able to support the war on such a scale! How could it be possible to launch another offensive against the continental United States? Have you calculated how much transport capacity, fuel, and supplies would be needed? Such an irresponsible plan, As prime minister, I cannot agree!"
Nagata Tieshan and Yamamoto Eisuke were full of confidence, and they exchanged glances before Nagata Tieshan spoke: "Your Excellency, we have exchanged views with Germany on the current international situation, and we think it is entirely possible for Germany to Defeat Britain, France, the Netherlands and Belgium within 3 months, conquer the whole of Europe, and then start to attack the United States! This will be a golden opportunity for the empire, if the empire can lay down a territory on the west coast of the United States... at least It can also be used as a threat to obtain huge war reparations from the United States."
"And Japan and Germany can also establish a solid alliance when they jointly fight against the United States! With the Japan-Germany alliance, the empire no longer needs to be afraid of China!" Eisuke Yamamoto added another reason.
Konoe Fumimaro's eyebrows gradually twitched. This battle is undoubtedly another big adventure, but in the past few months, hasn't every Japanese adventure been a great success?And the combat power of the United States does not seem to be that strong...
"What's the situation in Europe now? Have the Germans started to attack?" Konoe Fumimaro asked thoughtfully.The scale of the A battle plan placed in front of him is quite astonishing. The troops and supplies that need to be invested are astronomical, and ships must be allocated as much as possible.It is impossible to complete all preparations within a month. After the preparations are completed, the troops must be transported to Hawaii before the official combat can begin.In this way, it will take at least 3 months before the war can be burned to the mainland of the United States!At that time, it is likely that Hitler has "unified" Europe.Under such a situation, it is not impossible for Japan to increase the scale of operations in the Americas.
"Just in the early hours of this morning, the German army has begun to launch the Dutch-Belgian campaign!" Nagata Tieshan said: "The base camp is estimated to be at most three months, and Britain and France will completely fail!"
"What about Australia? That's where the future hope of the empire lies." Konoe Fumimaro asked after thinking for a while.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured that Hitler promised in his meeting with the humble officials that Eastern Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and other places will all be handed over to Japan." Foreign Minister Hiroyuki Matsuoka stood up and replied. "If the Chinese side raises objections, Germany will come forward to safeguard Japan's interests."
Chapter 0844 Sunset of the Old Empire ([-]) Sunset Plan
A white finger tapped on the location of Singapore on the map, and then lightly slid across the map.Singapore, Sumatra, the Sunda Strait, the Indian Ocean...and that rich and huge Australia.This almost undeveloped continent is the living space left by the heavens for the oriental civilization!It was only temporarily occupied by less than 1000 million Western colonists.
This is a one-millionth map of the Eastern Hemisphere hanging on the wall of the office of the Chief of Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces.The words "Top Secret" were marked on it in bold letters.Because on this map, there are already all kinds of tactical marks, some representing the naval fleet, some representing the naval fortress, some representing the air force base, and some representing the numbers of the various units of the army...Anyone who is proficient in military As long as people in China see these symbols, they can immediately think that this is part of a comprehensive aggressive war plan carefully formulated by the staff elites of the Chinese National Defense Forces.Of course, looking at the place where this map hangs, you know that this plan is probably the final one!
On this map, Singapore seems to be the core of the entire military operation!There are two giant blue arrows extending south and west from Singapore.
Among them, the westward arrow is divided into two in the Andaman Islands, pointing respectively to Calcutta, the capital of Bengal, India, and Ceylon, the pearl of the Indian Ocean.The arrow pointing to Calcutta was divided into three after extending from Calcutta. The three CCP infantry armies divided into three groups, all the way along the Ganges to the west and rushed to New Delhi; The Imphal fortress, which is heavily guarded by the British and Indian troops; and the other road is active in the area around Kolkata, attacking East and West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha and other places to expand the "Red India" base.In addition, the words "Socialist People's Republic of Bangladesh" were written squarely in red ink on the positions of East and West Bengal on the map.And in the northeast of "Bangladesh", south of the Yarlung Zangbo River (Brahmaputra River), and west of the Myanmar Autonomous Region, there is also a "Naga People's Republic" that also looks like a red star.In addition, the name of "Odisha-Bihar People's Republic" is also marked on this map...
The arrow pointing to the island of Ceylon is much simpler. A naval fleet called the "Western Fleet" will escort three infantry corps of the Chinese National Defense Forces to capture the island, which is firmly guarded by more than 3 Commonwealth troops.And this small island and the Maldives archipelago will constitute China's Ceylon province.
In addition to these two roads, there are two arrows, one of which is a huge green arrow extending from the northwest of India. The 10,000+ Muslim coalition forces funded by the government of the Chinese colonial Central Asian Autonomous Republic will, together with the Afghan army, attack the northwestern states of India.
The last arrow is to insert India from Persia along the coastline of the Arabian Sea. After capturing Karachi and Hyderabad, it rushes straight to the wealthy areas on the west coast of India... The soldiers point directly at Mumbai, the economic center of India!
Obviously, launching a full-scale attack on British India, liberating the people of all ethnic groups in British India, and completely controlling the Indian Ocean is one of the two important components of this "Sunset Project".
Another important part of this "sunset plan" is "combat Australia".
Compared with "Operation India", the scale of "Operation Australia" is undoubtedly ten times larger!
In order to seize this continent with more than 760 million square kilometers, and annihilate more than 60 troops in the British Australia and New Zealand theater and the Australian fleet.The General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces has issued an order to form the "Australian Front Army".
