Luo Yaoguo also stood up with a smile, and shook hands with Zhou Enlai, Pan Hannian, and Rockefeller who were about to leave: "I also hope that Japan can be wiped out as soon as possible, but it will take about a year, right? As far as I know, the Japanese But very stubborn!"
Zhou Enlai nodded with a wry smile again, exchanged some pleasantries with Luo Yaoguo, and left in a hurry with Pan Hannian. Rockefeller also left at the same time, and went back to report the good news to the US government... During the previous negotiations with Luo Yaoguo, the Chinese government had already Promised to declare war on Japan within October!Luo Yaoguo politely sent them to the door, squinting his eyes and looking at the cars going away, wondering what was on his mind.After a while, he suddenly turned his head and said to Wu Ziliang: "Chonglou, what kind of medicine do you think the CCP sells in the gourd?" Wu Ziliang shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I don't know, but I'm sure, Most likely it was set up somewhere by this Zhou Enlai."
"Natalie, what do you think?" Luo Yaoguo asked Natalie beside him again.
Natalie snorted: "Of course they borrowed knives to kill people. They borrowed Japanese knives to kill Stalin! Moreover, we must also beware of what tricks they are doing in the Northeast. It is best to use a few Panzergrenadier divisions to watch them , if there is any change, disarm them!"
Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, noncommittal.But at this time, he still has not seen through the real intention of the Communist International... These troops armed with Chinese weapons will set off waves of bloody storms in the South Asian subcontinent in the near future!
……
The maids brought tea sets and snacks, and then bent over and stepped back, the door of the tea room was also gently pulled open.In the small room sat two Japanese navy generals and a Japanese army general, and a Japanese officer with the rank of major general on his military uniform was sitting kneeling behind the general. This person was the new Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters. A minister Ishihara smiled.The two admirals are both surnamed Yamamoto, one is the Minister of the Navy Yamamoto Hidesuke, and the other is the Commander-in-Chief of the United Fleet Yamamoto 56.As for the general of the army, it is naturally the Minister of Army Nagata Tieshan.
"Mr. Yongtian, based on what you know about Luo Yaoguo, will he refuse the invitation of the Russian Empress and not attend the Tehran Conference?"
The questioner was Yamamoto 56, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet. This admiral in his early fifties is now the soul of the Japanese Navy.Without his nodding, even the battle plan agreed by Eisuke Yamamoto, the navy would have no way to implement it!This time, the "Special No. [-] Decisive Battle" plan proposed by Ishihara Wanji has not won the support of Commander Yamamoto for a long time.And the reason for his opposition is also very simple, the navy's surprise attack will not succeed!Because China's Nanyang and Western fleets are in a wartime state of high vigilance, it is absolutely impossible to be attacked.Unless there is some way to make the Chinese paralyzed, then there may be some chances of winning.
"Luo Yaoguo will definitely go, because he doesn't want to get into too much trouble with Hitler. After all, after this German-American war, no matter what the outcome is, Germany will be the most powerful country in the world!" After thinking for a while, Nagata Tetsu Shan nodded positively, "If we pretend to make larger concessions at the Tehran meeting...the Chinese should relax their vigilance, and the possibility of a successful raid will be very high!"
Yamamoto 56 straightened up and stared at Nagata with piercing eyes: "Your Excellency, no matter how we arrange tricks, the probability of the success of the raid will not exceed 30%, but if there is a 30% certainty of success, it is worth Japan's gamble !” He took another deep breath as he spoke, “Your Excellency, I want to know how likely your army is to succeed in raiding Manchuria when the Chinese relax their vigilance? Because my fleet is inseparable from oil, if there is no Oil in Manchuria, at most six months, the United Fleet will become a pile of scrap metal!"
Yongtian Tieshan glanced back at Ishihara, "Ishihara-kun, this question is up to you to answer."
Ishihara Waner nodded heavily, and said loudly: "The army will concentrate four tank divisions, 25 infantry divisions, three aviation divisions, five independent heavy artillery brigades, and two independent cavalry brigades in North Korea. , plus some other auxiliary arms, the total strength exceeds 80! There are 1200 tanks and self-propelled artillery of various types, 3500 cannons, and more than 700 aircraft. According to intelligence, the Chinese army deployed in Manchuria has at most 10 troops , about 50 people, and all of them are infantry corps... Their two armored armies, one is in Australia, and the other is unknown, but it is definitely not in Manchuria. In addition, the weather forecast also estimates that in mid-October this year, Manchuria, China There may be an autumn rain that lasts for several days. If the army chooses to launch a surprise attack at this time, it will have a high chance of winning, estimated to be more than 10%!"
Of course, the 30% chance of success is not too high, but the three Japanese generals in the room were all relieved at the same time... Compared with sure defeat, 30% chance of winning is indeed not low!But at this time, if they knew that each of the 10 Chinese infantry corps would be assigned an armored grenadier division with nearly 10 assault guns by October, what expression would they have?
"It can be a game." Yamamoto 56 nodded with difficulty, thought for a while, and said: "However, the navy's combat plan must also be revised. 500 kamikaze aircraft will be deployed on Luzon Island and Java Island at the same time, and Singapore and Singapore will be attacked at the same time. The Zhanjiang military port is not feasible. There are too many unexpected factors to consider, as long as there is a small accident, the whole game may be lost, and there are too few kamikaze aircraft on each battlefield. My idea is to only attack the Zhanjiang military port In one place, an aircraft carrier will be dispatched. The aircraft carrier will carry 500 kamikaze aircraft, and another 500 kamikaze aircraft will be deployed at the airport in the Philippines. A total of 1000 kamikaze aircraft will be dispatched... In this battle, we must cut off one finger, not Hurting his ten fingers!"
……
"Supplementary text, Zhao Ming, your empress wants to hold a peace conference in Tehran and invite Hitler and Mussolini to mediate the conflict between us and Japan. Do you think we should go?" Wuhan Moshan Inside the presidential mansion, President Luo Yiqun held a telegram and looked at his nephew Luo Yaoguo and Executive President Wang Jingwei with a half-smile.
This time, Russian Empress Anastasinia had already greeted Luo Yaoguo in private.This mediation was proposed by Hitler, and Her Majesty, the Empress, did not dare to disobey the Head of State's wishes, so she could only invite Marshal Luo Haihan.Moreover, the empress told Luo Yaoguo in the secret telegram that Hitler's mediation was actually just a formality, he was busy invading the United States right now, and really didn't have much thought to deal with the conflict between China and Japan.However, this head of state has always regarded himself as the leader of the Axis powers. Now that his two "little brothers" are about to fight, he always wants to come forward to make peace.
In addition, Hitler also wanted to take this opportunity to discuss with Luo Yaoguo the new world order after the demise of the United States... The current head of state of Germany is very sure that the United States will close its doors within 6 months!
"President, my subordinates feel that we should go to Tehran once." Wang Jingwei was the first to answer. He had already learned from Zhou Fohai the attitude of the Japanese high-level officials towards this mediation.However, he still felt that he should give it a try, after all, it would be good to win without fighting.He smiled and said: "President, Brother Fuwen, Ambassador Zhou had another meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe this morning. Japan's current offer is to cede Java Island and the Philippine Islands. But to keep eastern Australia, you still have to We want us to lift the sanctions against Japan and cancel the demilitarized zone north of 42 degrees north latitude... Although this condition is still far from our request, the other party is making concessions after all."
"Concession?" Luo Yaoguo sneered. "A war between China and Japan is inevitable! Regardless of whether Germany can defeat the United States, we cannot keep such an old enemy by our side. I think the Japanese side will not understand this truth? Their current concessions and negotiations are [-]% What kind of trick is there!"
Luo Yaoguo clearly remembered that before the Pearl Harbor incident in history, Japan was negotiating with the United States on the issue of "withdrawing troops from China".Right now these Japanese devils are cornered by the rising China, and most of them are already thinking about jumping the wall. This mediation or something is very likely to be used by the Japanese as a cover for their conspiracy.
"Fu Wen, what do you mean...we reject the invitation of the Russian Empress? Will this not offend Hitler?" Wang Jingwei shook his head slightly.
Luo Yaoguo smiled, and replied: "Tehran is definitely going, but the military preparations against Japan cannot be stopped, and the military's combat readiness level cannot be lowered. We must always be ready to go to war against Japan! If Japan pretends to accept our conditions, we will wait for them to attack first, otherwise, if they reject our conditions, then we will act first as soon as the meeting is over!"
Now that the Philippine Campaign Joint Command has been formed, some army units have boarded the transport ship, or are waiting to board the ship, and all the ammunition and supplies required for the landing operation have been loaded on the ship.The navy and air force are already on the highest alert. For the commanders on the frontline in Nanyang, all that is left is an order.
The Australian Front Army has now hoarded enough supplies to maintain the defense of 65 troops for half a year, or all the materials needed for offensive operations for three months.Even if the Philippine campaign cannot be won, the front army is sufficient to maintain the defense until Japan runs out of war supplies.
As for the Beiyang Front Army Command, where Marshal Bai Chongxi served as the commander-in-chief, it was also secretly established in Shenyang. 10 Panzergrenadier divisions have been loaded and transported to the north, and they will all be in place within a week at most!Moreover, the First Armored Army also moved to the Manzhouli area in Heilongjiang Province.The two main squadrons of the Beiyang Fleet, the 10th and 11th Fleets, have also entered the Vladivostok and Lushun Forts respectively. Naturally, these two large defense fortresses are in a state of battle!
More than 6300 combat aircraft of the five major aviation armies of the Air Force and more than 1500 fighter jets of the Naval Air Force were also concentrated in their designated positions and were on standby.Hundreds of reconnaissance aircraft of various types patrolled day and night.
In addition, nearly one-third of the more than 200 submarines belonging to the three major fleets of the Chinese Navy have arrived in the waters around the Japanese archipelago!As long as they receive an order, they will immediately engage in unlimited submarine warfare, destroying the external maritime traffic of the Japanese archipelago... If you count the US and Canadian (British) submarines active in the Pacific region, after the war between China and Japan, there will be almost more than 400 submarines will be used to block the Japanese archipelago!
Chapter 0917 Sino-Japanese War ([-]) Tehran Conference
On the afternoon of October 1939, 10 AD, Tehran, Kingdom of Persia.
When Luo Yaoguo and Wang Jingwei got off the plane, the welcome crowd at the airport was packed with journalists from all over the world.Anastasia I, Queen of Russia and Queen of Persia, as the host, naturally brought her ministers and waited here long ago.The only strange thing is that the German head of state Adolf Hitler and the Italian leader Mussolini who had arrived the day before were not present, and the German and Italian delegations did not even send a few important officials. Only Germany and Italy The envoy to Persia stood beside the queen, looking at the Eastern leader disembarking from the plane with some anxiety.
Before leaving Wuhan, Wang Jingwei, the executive director of the Nationalist Government, expressed his views on the Tehran meeting at the press conference. The Tehran meeting will discuss the four major countries, Germany, China, Italy, and Russia, in rebuilding the world order. obligations.There is no mention of Japan, which has become a big country from the map, as if this country does not exist in this world at all!Also, he didn't say a single bad word about the United States... Hitler was of course dissatisfied with these remarks. The two superpowers that have almost won this world war have obviously disagreed on the future world order.Therefore, it is understandable that the head of state said that he was tired from the journey and rested in the "Grand Palace" on the outskirts of Tehran.
However, the Empress of Russia still organized a grand welcome scene for the visit of the Chinese delegation. When Luo Yaoguo and Wang Jingwei stepped off the Fw-200 airliner at a steady pace, the military band of the Russian Imperial Guard played the Three People's Principles The music of the country.Empress Anastasia stood under the gangway of the plane, looking affectionately at Luo Yaoguo, who was dressed in a marshal's uniform. Of course, Luo Yaoguo had already seen his "good fellow", and he walked down the gangway quickly, Smiling, he took the jade hand extended by Her Majesty the Queen, and kissed it lightly.The queen said to Luo Yaoguo in a low voice in fluent Chinese: "My dear, it's great that you can come."
Luo Yaoguo also looked at the queen with a smile, and also replied in a low voice: "Anas, I will never refuse your invitation. Even if there will be some unpleasantness in this meeting, as long as I can see you, I will always let you go." I am happy...By the way, Mr. Hitler and Mr. Mussolini have arrived in Tehran, right? Have you met them? Do you know the real purpose of their coming to Tehran to meet me?"
The queen nodded with a smile, but she didn't answer right away. Instead, she shook hands with Wang Jingwei, Chen Bijun, Zeng Qi, Chen Gongbo, Natalie and others who had already got off the plane.Finally, in front of hundreds of reporters and Russian and Persian princes and ministers at the scene, he took Luo Yaoguo's arm and walked towards a Maybach limousine waiting on the side of the airport runway without any scruples. I hate the dictatorial monarch... Fortunately, the Russian people have just gotten rid of the Bolshevik Communist Party rule, and they are very satisfied with the current peaceful and "rich" life, and they don't care much about the monarch's private life.As for the imams in Persia, although their eyes were burning, in this time and space, the colonial system is still unbreakable!Of course, these "subjugated slaves" did not have the right to express their wishes.
Inside the Maybach sedan, Anastasia told Luo Yaoguo in a low voice that Hitler, Mussolini, and Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro had all arrived. After arriving in Tehran this morning, Fumimaro Konoe went to the "Grand Palace" to visit Hitler and Mussolini.
"So, the three of them are discussing how to deal with China in the Grand Palace right now." Luo Yaoguo's expression was slightly solemn, as China seemed a little isolated in this Tehran meeting.Germany, Italy, and Japan seem to have formed a united front. As for Russia... Although their empress has a special relationship with them, they dare not offend Hitler, the vicious tiger lying in front of their house.
The Russian Empress nodded with a wry smile. Her Russian Empire is not what it used to be. Although it still has the pretensions of being one of the top five in the world, it is caught between the two superpowers of China and Germany. Choose sides.And what she is most worried about is that China and Germany are going to confront each other. At that time, her empire will have to choose a "master" among these two superpowers.But she also knows that no matter who wins or loses in this confrontation, the Russian Empire caught in the middle will definitely be the victim!
"Tell me about the new post-war order that Hitler imagined. He should have mentioned it to you, right? Colonialism will continue." Luo Yaoguo asked, looking at the dilapidated and messy Tehran city outside the car window.
"Of course, the post-war order in the head of state's mind is a pyramid structure of superpowers, big countries, independent countries and semi-independent countries." The queen looked at Luo Yaoguo, frowned and said:
"Germany and China are, of course, the two superpowers that dominate the world; below you are Italy, Japan, and our three great powers, Russia; below you are the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, India Independent countries such as Spain, Spain, etc.; at the bottom are semi-independent countries and colonies attached to various superpowers and major powers. In addition, there will be an arbitrator in the future world to act as the leader of the entire world. the two superpowers and the three superpowers vote every 10 years."
Luo Yaoguo sneered, "This set of things sounds like a replica of the electoral system of the Holy Roman Empire in history. It's just that the United States and Britain (Canada) are missing. It seems that Hitler believed that the United States was bound to perish. "
……
When Luo Yaoguo and Anastasinia's convoy passed through the central area of Tehran to the Rose Palace, Hitler was walking with Eva Braun in the garden of the Grand Palace outside Tehran.
Mussolini and Konoe Fumimaro walked in through the porch side by side.There was some deviation from Luo Yaoguo's guess. After the Japanese Prime Minister came to the Grand Palace, he was not immediately received by Hitler. Instead, he had a long talk with Mussolini for several hours. He came with Mussolini.
"Your Excellency the Führer, did you rest well last night?" Fumimaro Konoe took off his politeness and bowed to Hitler at 45 degrees, with an expression on his face as respectful as if he was meeting the emperor.
"Very good." Hitler glanced at the Japanese Prime Minister and said coldly.
"Your Excellency, the whole country is very grateful to you for standing up for justice and helping the empire resist the ambitions of the Chinese." Fumimaro Konoe spoke fluent German with a grateful expression on his face.
"No, no, I have no interest in things like upholding justice, and there is no justice in this world." Hitler's expression was still indifferent, "strength is what determines everything, and Japan occupies a position that is not equal to her strength. A worthy spoil."
"Strength really determines everything," Konoe Fumimaro said with a calm face, following Hitler's words: "If China gets the whole of Australia, their national power will surpass that of Germany in less than 20 years. At that time, the world will be dominated by the Chinese." .This is not good news for us Imperial Japan and German Reich."
"Originally East Australia belonged to the United Kingdom! If you hadn't been desperate to invade, the United Kingdom would not be divided into two, and my plan to destroy the United States would be much smoother." Hitler crossed the Japanese Prime Minister with a look in his eyes. They couldn't hide their anger.The Chinese had already accepted the "Rome Peace Treaty" and agreed to leave most of Australia's territory to Britain.With the guarantee from the German Empire, most of the Chinese would not break their face and invade Dongao. At the same time, with the "hostage" of Dongao in hand, those British guys would not dare to play tricks.
What made Hitler even more in a dilemma was that now that China and Japan were at war with each other, Japan naturally had no way to pose any threat to the west coast of America.For Germany, the only value of Japan at present is probably to contain China, an overly powerful ally.If Germany sits idly by China's attack on Japan, then China will soon defeat Japan and dominate the entire Eastern world.At that time, even if Germany defeats the United States, I am afraid that it will have nothing to do with China.However, if Germany wants to interfere in the Sino-Japanese war, it will inevitably offend China again. If China is pushed to the side of the United States, and China and the United States form an alliance, Germany's plot to destroy the United States will come to naught, and the world pattern will also change. It has become a "co-governance" by China, the United States, and Germany.
Seeing Hitler's attitude, Konoe Fumimaro, who had high expectations for this Tehran meeting, felt a little bit in his heart, but on the surface he still looked calm.He smiled slightly and said, "President Wang Jingwei and Marshal Luo Yaoguo of China have also arrived, and they are now on their way to the Rose Palace. Mr. Yuan, can you and Prime Minister Mussolini come forward to mediate the dispute between the Japanese Empire and China?" Contradictions, as long as China no longer threatens the interests of the Japanese Empire, Japan will naturally cooperate with Germany and Italy to eliminate the United States, the scourge of world peace." He paused for a while, and then said: "According to what our Japanese intelligence agencies have Intelligence, the large consortium of the United States has invested almost 11 billion US dollars in China since November last year! The Chinese have also designated the Pacific Ocean north of 200 degrees north latitude as a demilitarized zone for the convenience of machinery and equipment produced by the United States. , agricultural products and industrial products are shipped to China.”
Hitler snorted softly. It was within his expectation that China and the United States would get closer.In fact, the relationship between China and the United States has always been good, and after seizing large areas of territory and colonies, China has also entered a period of major construction.Of course, only the United States can provide capital, technology and equipment for China's construction boom.Compared with the United States, Germany's industrial scale and capital strength are much smaller, and Germany itself has a large number of new territories and colonies to build... Besides, Germany no longer recognizes the US dollar, and China is unwilling to pay gold for Sino-German trade .Therefore, the trade between China and Germany began to shrink after the Western European War ended, and now the monthly trade volume is less than 30% of the Sino-US trade.
If this situation is allowed to continue, before China completes industrialization in the future, the friendly relationship between China and the United States will become closer driven by this economic interest, and the situation that Germany will face by then will also be very serious. unfavorable.
And the only way to break this potentially unfavorable situation is to take advantage of the peak of Germany's military power and unite the power of all Europe to destroy the United States!Without the United States as a technology and capital exporter, China, which is rich in resources but relatively backward in industrial technology, can only be continuously suppressed by Germany.
However, the actual ruler of China, Luo Yaoguo, had also realized this a long time ago, and had resolutely opposed Germany's plan to destroy the United States from the very beginning.Hitler was even a little worried that China was likely to join the war to support the United States against Germany when the United States was difficult to maintain!And in order to avoid this situation, only the stupid Japanese can be sacrificed...
Thinking of this, the German head of state smiled slightly: "Both China and Japan are important allies of the German Empire and important guarantees for the future world order. Therefore, China and Japan should coexist peacefully. This is why I entrusted the Empress of Russia to convene this peace conference. .Now I wonder, where is the bottom line for Japan to make concessions to China?"
Konoe Fumimaro raised his head and looked at Hitler gratefully, "Your Excellency, Eastern Australia involves the fundamental interests of Japan. Even if we don't want the mainland, we can't give up Australia!" When Konoe said this, he looked nervously at Hitler. Hitler's face.Before he came to Tehran, the five ministers of the Japanese cabinet held another imperial meeting. In addition to passing the revised "Toku No. [-] Operation Plan" jointly submitted by the Japanese army and navy, this meeting also reached an agreement on possible peace conditions. agreed.Australia is Japan's bottom line!If China can hand over Western Australia to Japan, then Japan can relocate the whole country to Australia!Give all the Asian territories and colonies to China... Uh, it's a bit of a shame to hide!
