Zhou Enlai smiled, and instead of asking Stalin any more questions, he changed the subject and got straight to the point. "Chairman Kruskaya, the purpose of inviting Comrades Jin Jiu and Comrade Nosaka here today is to discuss the Korean and Japanese revolutions. The current world revolutionary situation is developing very rapidly, especially in Korea and Japan. Molecular oppression has reached the point where it is unbearable, and the storm of the Great Revolution is about to break out in a blink of an eye."

"Oh, that's great." Kruskaya didn't know much about the Asian revolution, and she didn't have much interest in it. Since Zhou Enlai said so, she went along with it. "I don't know if Vice Chairman Zhou has any good suggestions for this?"

"I have a suggestion," Zhou Enlai nodded, glanced at Nosaka Sanzo, and said with a smile: "At present, the focus of the world revolution is on Asia, while the focus of the Asian revolution is on India and Japan. India is a weak spot under imperialist colonial rule. Japan is the weakest link in the international imperialist camp, and under the attack of China and the United States, it is believed that it will collapse soon. Of course, North Korea can regain its independence by then, and even Japan itself is very Hope for a Soviet Republic!"

"What!" Zhou Enlai said these words in Chinese, Jin Jiu and Nosaka Sansan in the conference room could understand them, and the two exclaimed almost at the same time.Judging from the current situation, there is a great possibility that China and Japan will go to war. Once Japan is defeated, there will be no problem with North Korea's independence. Chinese imperialism will not turn North Korea into its own territory.But what the Soviet Republic of Japan is a bit unexpected!Even Nosaka Sanzo, a Japanese revolutionary, did not believe in such a good thing.

"Yes, the Soviet Republic of Japan!" Mao Zedong took the topic at this time, nodded with certainty, and said with a smile: "This country will be established soon, and I invite you to the meeting today to discuss the establishment of the Soviet Republic of Japan in Sakhalin Island. , it is still Japanese territory now!" He said, looking at Jin Jiu again, "Comrade Jin Jiu, the current situation of the world revolution requires you Korean revolutionaries to help Japanese revolutionaries establish the Soviet Republic first, and then gain independence and establish your own The Soviet state, do you see any problems?"

"Help the Japanese revolutionaries..." Jin Jiu was stunned for a while, staring fixedly at Mao Zedong, not knowing how to answer such absurd question.

Mao Zedong smiled faintly, looked at the bewildered Jin Jiu, and explained: "The world revolution has developed into a very critical period. The Second World War will soon resume the war after a short truce. And this time It is likely to be a turning point in the entire world’s anti-fascist war! Due to the leadership and promotion of the Chinese Communist Party, the anti-fascist democratic forces in China are currently at an all-time high, and the imperialist groups that rule China no longer dare to stand with the German, Japanese, and Italian fascist groups... ...The main task of the Comintern and the CCP in the recent period is to actively promote China to join the world anti-fascist camp, so as to form an anti-fascist united front composed of China, the United States and the Comintern with the Comintern at its core.”

"At the same time, this world anti-fascist united front is also the key to the national liberation of North Korea and the rebirth of the Japanese nation after the war. In order to successfully establish this anti-fascist front, our Comintern must do everything possible to prompt China and Japan to go to war as soon as possible. And Ku Our attack on Page Island will definitely break the already tense Sino-Japanese relations. Of course, there are some special arrangements behind this matter, and we will tell our North Korean and Japanese comrades in the future.

In addition, it is also very important for the peace-loving Japanese people to unfurl the flag of the Japanese Soviet Republic as soon as possible to obtain the recognition of most countries in the world anti-fascist front.Because what we want to oppose is Japanese fascism, not the Japanese people... If we don’t fly the flag of the Japanese Soviet Republic now, Japan is likely to become a colony of Chinese imperialism in the future. This is also inconsistent with the consistent position of our Communist International Compatible.

That's why we want the Korean comrades to land on Sakhalin Island in the name of the Japanese People's Liberation Army, and establish a revolutionary base, and at the same time fly the flag of the Japanese Socialist Soviet Republic.And let Soviet Japan also join the world's anti-fascist camp, so that Soviet Japan can naturally acquire fascist Japan after the war! "

Finally, Mao Zedong waved his hand and said with great confidence: "In this way, even if our Communist International's layout in Asia is complete, the world revolution will surely usher in a new climax in the near future!"

……

"The battle of fate is about to begin!"

Standing on the roof of the Yokohama Kim Jong Bank headquarters building with a view of Yokohama Port, Nagata Tieshan muttered to himself. "The spies of the Chinese people must be mixed in with the farewell crowd now. I hope they will fall into our plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

At this moment, the wharf of Yokohama Port is full of cargo ships and merchant ships, all of which are ready to go, and the smoke conflicts.

And the scene on the pier is even more compelling.It is full of neat rows of tanks, assault vehicles, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and rows of heavy artillery towed by crawler tractors, as well as trucks full of infantry.Such an elite mechanized unit has never been seen before, not to mention the Japanese people who held up the flag to see them off. Even the Japanese Army Minister Nagata Tieshan couldn't help but feel excited when he saw it, and a sense of pride emerged from the bottom of his heart.

"It is estimated that the General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Force must be full of surprises... Such elites are unprecedented in the Japanese Empire. Even the armored forces of China and Germany are like this."

He turned his head slowly and looked at Ishihara Waner standing respectfully behind him in a neat military uniform.

"Mr. Ishihara, this time depends on whether your plan will be successful. The Chinese must mistake our four chariot divisions for six, and think that all of our six chariot divisions must be transferred. Going to Australia... At least in my opinion, this scam has been flawless! Hehe, those Chinese spies must not guess that our chariot division left Yokohama Port during the day and returned quietly from Kisarazu Port at night .If it works this time, you will be the next Secretary of State for War."

Ishihara smiled slightly: "It's just doing my best for the country, ministers and so on, I don't dare to expect extravagantly in humble positions."

Yongtian Tieshan smiled: "Ishihara-kun, do you think the odds of winning this battle are high?" Although he had a confident smile on his face, he was a little uneasy in his heart.

Hearing this question, Ishihara Waner didn't know how to answer for a moment. Although he wanted to say that Japan would win, it was really hard to tell such a lie.Although his arrangements are ingenious, most of the Chinese will fall into the trap and transfer more troops to Australia.But with the current strength of the Japanese army, can it deal with the part of the Chinese National Defense Forces that remain in the country?Even if the Chinese have transferred all 8 armored divisions to Australia, their powerful tactical air force is no less than that of the United States and Germany!Relying on a few hundred Zero fighter jets simply cannot win air supremacy.In this regard, Ishihara Waner is also helpless, and can only hope and weather factors, as well as night battles.

In addition, Yamamoto 56, the commander of the Navy's Joint Fleet, seemed to have a very ugly face when he heard Ishihara's "Special No. [-] Operation Plan" at the Army-Navy Joint Meeting...

Nagata looked at Shi Yuan with serious eyes: "Ishi Yuan-kun, don't you have the confidence to win?"

Ishihara was silent for a while, then nodded and replied: "With the strength gap between the empire and China, how can it be possible to say that it will win? Can there be..." He thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "There is a [-]% chance of winning. It's the limit."

"Is it only [-]%?" Nagata frowned.

Ishihara smiled wryly and nodded.In fact, it is an exaggeration to say that the [-]% chance of winning is already exaggerated!If Ishihara were to evaluate it from a neutral standpoint, the "Special One Operation" would not be able to win at all. At most, it could delay the Sino-Japanese War until after Germany defeated the United States... But will Germany be able to defeat the United States?In case of a tie between the two countries, Japan will be attacked by China and the United States.

At this moment, a staff officer of the Army Ministry suddenly ran up in a panic, and before he stopped, he loudly reported the urgent telegram he had just received.

"Your Excellency, General! The 8th Division stationed on Huatai Island sent an urgent call. Pogibi Port on the Amur Bay side of the North Island of Huatai Island was suddenly attacked by an armed force claiming to be the Japanese People's Liberation Army. Now it has fallen!"

……

"Long live the Japanese People's Liberation Army! Long live! Long live!"

Soldiers in blue-gray military uniforms standing one upon another on the hillside cheered loudly in hard Japanese with a Korean accent.At the highest point of the hillside, a strange red flag was planted, with a white gear and golden ears of wheat in the center of the red flag.Jin Wuting, commander of the "First Army of the Japanese People's Liberation Army" standing under the red flag, also showed a look of excitement.

The First Division of the Japanese People's Liberation Army was reorganized from the armed forces controlled by the Workers' Party of Korea in exile in the Far East Republic. It had more than 75 soldiers and an artillery battalion with twelve [-]mm mountain guns.

This unit was stationed on Temple Street opposite Sakhalin Island in the name of "The 30th Army of the Second Front Army of the Communist International" before it hung the sign of "Japanese Liberation Army".On September 1939, 9, that is, three days ago, the unit suddenly received a secret order from the Comintern Military Committee, asking them to set off from Temple Street under the signboard of the Japanese Communist Party. Each soldier carried 22 rounds of ammunition. Dry food, boarded several rented Chinese ships, and under the escort of two gunboats with a displacement of about 120 tons, quietly sailed to the opposite bank of Sakhalin Island, which is what the Japanese call Kata Island, and then used it by surprise. The sneak attack of the Japanese occupied the small port named Pogibi, which was guarded by only one garrison squadron.Then a telegram was sent from here, announcing that the "Japanese People's Liberation Army" was established, and it also called on the Japanese people to launch an uprising, overthrow the reactionary emperor's autocratic rule, and establish a Soviet Republic!

Jin Wuting had just read this absurd-sounding telegram to the entire army, and announced the Communist International's instructions to "liberate Japan first, and then liberate Korea."What greeted him was the sound of cheers and shouts that had been arranged long ago, and several hand-cranked cameras recorded all the scenes here, and some flashing lights kept flashing. In a few days, this "Japanese People's Liberation Army" It should attract a lot of attention.

Jin Wuting raised his fist high and pointed to the south, "Comrades! That is Japan. Japanese imperialism is now enslaving our 2000 million compatriots in the three thousand miles! If we want to liberate the three thousand miles, we must To overthrow Japanese imperialism! And we have come across the sea... just to overthrow this evil Japanese empire! Down with Japanese imperialism! Long live the independence of Korea! Long live!"

Chapter 0914 China and Japan fight again (five) the dawn of peace?

"The war is about to begin!" In the conference room of the General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces, the room was already full of senior officers.Everyone looked at Bai Chongxi and Long Tenghui with serious faces.The two of them stood in front of a huge map of the Pacific and Australia that took up half the wall.The eyes are dignified.The atmosphere in the conference room also became dignified.Behind this solemnity, there is also an indescribable excitement and expectation.A big war is coming again, and it is very likely that the generals here will fight the last large-scale war in their lives!At least that's what Luo Yaoguo said...

On the map, there are three areas where arrows, small needles, and symbols representing troops are particularly dense.The first area is the two sides of the Yalu River on the border between China and Japan (North Korea). Jiangbei is densely packed with blue marks, and Jiangnan is a black mark representing the Japanese army, but it is a bit sparser than the blue of Jiangbei.

The second area is the junction of East, West and southern Australia. Here is also a scene of confrontation between the two armies. In the Japanese-controlled area to the east, the numbers of the Japanese troops that have been detected are already marked.The highest commanding body of the Japanese army in Australia is the Japanese Australian Expeditionary Force Command, which is located in Sydney, East Australia, which is now also known as "Xinjing".Below the headquarters of the dispatched army are the numbers of a full twenty divisions, including six tank divisions representing the strongest combat power of the army in this era!According to intelligence, the Japanese Army has sent all six tank divisions they have to Australia. Judging from this posture, the Japanese are going to compete with the Chinese National Defense Forces in Australia.Maybe they also plan to abandon their homeland and move the whole country to the rich continent of Australia?However, the specific locations of these six tank divisions were not marked, and the intelligence department of the Chinese Australian Front Army did not find their locations...but this is also very normal. After all, Australia is too big, and it is necessary to hide tens of thousands of troops and 1000 troops. Multiple tanks are still very easy.

The third area densely covered with unit numbers is the coastal area of ​​Nanyang. From the north of Singapore Province to Guangnan Province, there are at least dozens of division-level combat unit numbers of the National Defense Forces, and there are more than 30 units that are being formed. Colonial Division.In addition, the main force of the Chinese navy, the Nanyang Fleet and the Western Fleet, are also deployed in Zhanjiang Military Port in Guangdong and Zhangyi Military Port in Singapore Province.

Bai Chongxi's baton was pointed at the Nanyang region, but the field marshal who was second only to Luo Yaoguo in the National Defense Forces regarded the Nanyang theater, where the navy played the leading role, as the key to this battle.As for the Australian theater and the Northeast Asian theater (North Korea), he didn't worry about it at all.With the super strength of the Chinese Army and Air Force, it will never lose!So what if the six tank divisions of Japan go into battle together?Will the four armored divisions and two armored grenadier divisions of an armored army of the Australian Front not be able to deal with it?What really worries him is the navy. Compared with the Japanese navy, the strength of the Chinese navy does not occupy an overwhelming advantage, and the prestige of the Japanese navy in the Pacific battlefield, especially their famous kamikaze squadron, also makes the Chinese National Defense Force The senior generals felt uncertain.

"I have exchanged views with Minister Long and Minister Zhang of the Navy, as well as Commander Zhao and Commander Chen. Everyone agrees that Nanyang is the key to the Sino-Japanese war." He turned his head while speaking. Glancing at Luo Yaoguo who was sitting upright in the first row below, he went on to explain his point of view.

"The transportation between our country and Australia mainly depends on sea transportation, and our sea transportation line must pass through the South China Sea, the Karimata Strait, the Java Sea, the Sunda Strait, and the Indian Ocean... and the Philippine Islands and Java Island controlled by Japan are opposite Our route to the south is a huge threat! Among them, the Philippine Islands are close to the South China Sea, and Japanese submarines and planes can attack from the Philippines, threatening our logistics line. Java Island is simply stuck in our transportation line. Once the Japanese army deploys mines in the narrow Sunda Strait , our logistics line must be diverted around the Strait of Malacca and the Indian Ocean, which will be very inconvenient!

Judging from the current situation, if we want to capture Australia, we must ensure the logistics of the Australian Front Army, and to ensure the logistics line of this aspect, we must capture the Philippine Islands and Java Island!Only in this way can the logistics line be guaranteed.The Australian Front Army can only launch an attack to seize Eastern Australia when it has gained an advantage in the South China Sea theater.Because the materials they are currently stockpiling cannot support a long-term battle of more than 6 months, and if they want to launch an attack, they can last at most 3 months.With the vast area of ​​Australia and the number of Japanese divisions as many as 20, it is impossible to end the war in 3 months.

As for the Northeast Asia theater, my opinion is to launch an offensive along the Korean peninsula... We can concentrate more than 10 Panzergrenadier divisions, plus 10 to 15 infantry divisions, 10 Central Asian colonial divisions, 1 air force, Coupled with the huge force of a part of the directly subordinate artillery unit, under the cover of the Beiyang Fleet, the Japanese army was expelled from the Korean Peninsula.Then we can build a military airport in the Pusan ​​area south of the Korean peninsula, deploy our medium-range bombers such as He-111, Ju-88 and Fw-200, and level Japan's industrial bases and major cities from the air!This forced Japan to surrender.

Therefore, in this war against Japan, there are two ways for us to win. One is to win the decisive battle in the South China Sea, capture the Philippines and Java Island, and ensure the logistics line of the Australian Front Army; The navy was the main force along the way, first capturing the Ryukyu Islands, then landing in Kyushu, Japan, and finally defeating the Japanese army to occupy all of Japan.

The second is to use the Korean Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula as bases to send powerful air forces to use strategic bombing to force Japan to surrender when the naval battle cannot be achieved.

Of course, these two offensive routes will start at the same time, striving to completely defeat the Japanese Empire in the shortest possible time, or even perish!Now let Minister Long of the Navy talk about the plans of the Navy and the tasks that the Army needs to undertake. "

Obviously, Ishihara Wanji and Nagata Tieshan overestimated the Japanese armored forces. If they were sitting in this conference room now, they would be so depressed that they would commit seppuku.The generals of the Chinese army here didn't take the "six Japanese tank divisions" seriously at all. Instead, they attached great importance to the Japanese navy. Therefore, when Long Tenghui began to speak, everyone listened attentively with bated breath.

"The strength of our navy is fourteen large aircraft carriers, three 'Zhenyuan'-class battleships, five 'Polish Legion'-class armored ships, eight 'Admiral Hipper'-class heavy cruisers, and more than 20 light cruisers ( Including air defense cruisers) and more than 100 destroyers of various types, less than 200 submarines, and some auxiliary ships. The strength is relatively strong, but 14 of our 8 aircraft carriers are rebuilt from 15000-ton merchant ships. The combat power is relatively weak."

Long Tenghui's voice was a little low, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he was worried about the Japanese kamikaze.The Ministry of the Navy and the three major fleets (North, South, and Western Fleets) have conducted many exercises and deduction on the map. To be honest, they still haven’t found a way to deal with the "Kamikaze"...especially the 14 treasures of the Navy Aircraft carriers are built somewhat thinly, with excessive pursuit of the number of carrier-based aircraft and high speed, without additional bulletproof decks, and it is indeed a headache to encounter those desperate "kamikazes".

Long Tenghui shook his head and said: "Although our opponent, the Japanese United Fleet, is not as strong as ours, it only has 10 aircraft carriers and 5 battleships. But everyone knows that they have a very crazy tactic——to use planes to hit Warship! This style of play poses a great threat to our aircraft carrier force. In the Pacific War some time ago, Japan almost wiped out the US Pacific Fleet with this special tactic! And we are currently dealing with this There is no special countermeasure for the tactics... The only way the navy can think of is pre-emptive strikes to annihilate the Japanese aircraft carrier in a decisive battle at sea! Minimize the threat of the Japanese kamikaze special forces.

After repeated discussions by the navy and deduction on the map.We will put forward a proposal to launch the Philippine campaign, using the waters around the Philippines as a battlefield to attract Japanese aircraft carriers to come to the decisive battle.The specific plan is being prepared by the Navy's Nanyang Fleet.Here I just put forward a few key points related to the Army and Air Force. "

Long Tenghui pointed the baton at the position of Taiwan.Since the island was retaken by China in the 9.18 War, it has become an important military base and coastal defense stronghold.More than a dozen large airports belonging to the navy and the air force have been successively built on the entire island of Taiwan, and a complete air defense and early warning system has also been deployed.

"In the first phase of the Philippine campaign, more than 1000 medium and long-range bombers will be deployed on Taiwan Island to bomb the identified Japanese airports on the entire Luzon Island. They must be completely destroyed at the beginning of the war! The Japanese Kamikaze agents cannot use these airfields. In addition, the island of Taiwan will also become the main base for the Army and Marine Corps to attack the Philippines, because the expected landing place will be in the northern part of Luzon Island. The entire Philippine campaign, we estimate will be Use 10 to 15 infantry divisions or jungle divisions, and 10 colonial divisions to maintain local law and order. These land forces will be commanded by the Nanyang Front Army, and the entire Philippine campaign, the Navy hopes that the commander of the Nanyang Fleet will be in charge of the overall command.”

After saying these words, Long Tenghui gave a respectful military salute to Luo Yaoguo, and then sat back in his seat.Luo Yaoguo stood up and strode to the front of the map. Facing the generals, he said loudly, "The Philippine operation will start from mid-October to late October! This battle will establish a joint command composed of the three armies of the sea, land and air. , the commander-in-chief will be General Zhao Zheng, commander of the Nanyang Fleet, the deputy commander will be Admiral Sun Liren, commander of the Nanyang Front Army, and the chief of staff will be Admiral Zhang Yiming, Chief of Naval Operations. In addition, the Navy’s Western Fleet will also be assigned to the Joint Commander of Philippine Operations department command.

At the same time as the Philippine operation started, the Beiyang operation will also start in early November.Now it is announced that the Beiyang Front Army Command will be established to be fully responsible for the combat missions against Japan in Northeast Asia and East Siberia.The commander-in-chief of the Beiyang Front Army was appointed by Marshal Bai Chongxi, the deputy commander-in-chief was appointed by General Li Zongren, and the chief of staff was appointed by General Liu Fei...

This battle between China and Japan will be the foundational battle for China to dominate the East. I hope that you will fight hard to promote the national prestige of China and live up to the high hopes of hundreds of millions of Chinese people! "

All the officers in the conference room stood up at the same time, saluted Luo Yaoguo and accepted the mission.And Luo Yaoguo also looked solemnly, slowly raised his right hand, and returned the military salute.At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Natalie walked quickly to Luo Yaoguo, and whispered in his ear: "I just received the news that Japan has declared war on the Far East Republic! It seems that the Far East The Japanese People's Liberation Army supported by the Republic suddenly attacked Japan's Sakhalin Island. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also reported that Pan Hannian, the ambassador of the Far East Republic, raised the issue of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic in a meeting with Minister Zeng Muhan. In addition, Ambassador Pan also proposed to Mr. Mu Han that Zhou Enlai, the leader of the Communist Party of China, would like to meet with you to discuss the joint war against Japan by the Far Eastern Republic, the Japanese Soviet Republic, the Socialist Union Republic of India and the Republic of China.”
