Victory is always a pleasure.
About ten days later, a telegram arrived in front of Zhou Weiguo, "The devils actually hid the news of the defeat in the naval battle of Midway from their people, and the people even carried out a lantern parade under such circumstances."
"It's incredible, or rather, is it stupid or obstinate" Liu Yuan shook his head and said helplessly, "Devil, this is to go all the way to the black, Midway The devil lost so many aircraft carriers, and actually concealed this, I really don't know what the devil thinks." ” "Tokyo has just been attacked by us, counting the one in the United States, Tokyo has been attacked 4 times, if the Japanese people know at this time that they lost the Battle of Midway, and they also lost so many main aircraft carriers and pilots, do you think, will they still let the Japanese high-level and military continue to fight like this" Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "However, this move is indeed smart, we sneak attacked Tokyo, and they won a big victory at Midway, at this moment, I am afraid that Japan's domestic momentum is like a rainbow, shouting to punish us." , and even other appeasements are not needed. ” "Huh."
Liu Yuan sighed, "It's really, complicated." ” "Desire, on the other hand, is the demand of human nature to achieve a certain end.
There is no good or evil desire, the key is how to control it, it is the most primitive and basic instinct of all animals in the world, in short, it is love and dissatisfaction.
The Japanese, from the beginning of the war, were not satisfied with their status quo.
They want a large piece of land, a lot of resources, a lot of wealth, after the July Seven Incident, the devils from our China, plundered countless gold, silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, countless.
Then, in our hands, Britain was deflated in the hands of Germany, and he finally started the idea of Southeast Asia again, in the final analysis, he was not satisfied.
Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "At this point, they have almost given everything for this war, and if they give up now, they will really have nothing." ” "But if they don't give up, they will end up with nothing."
"So, brother, you must not have been on the gambling table" Zhou Weiguo smiled, "The current Japanese are like gamblers who want to gamble at the end, and give up now, they have given up but continue to gamble, they still have hope, so, of course they will not give up, and even, they will get worse."
Tokyo was attacked, and even after more than ten days, Tokyo is still in ruins, but its popularity has recovered slightly.
Command of the Navy "Now, the United States and Australia are united, and the pressure on the empire is somewhat great.
If the empire wants to counteract, it must occupy the islands in the southwest Pacific and cut off the strategic ties between Australia and the United States.
Yamamoto Fifty-six spoke, although, Midway failed, although, he said that he was responsible, but, in the face of the current situation, Emperor Showa could not really punish Yamamoto Fifty-six, not to mention, in his opinion, Yamamoto Fifty-six's plan and strategic vision are very correct and excellent, not to mention, the Battle of Midway, they were victorious, in such a situation, Yamamoto Fifty-six is even more unlikely to be punished.
"Hmm.
Yamamoto-kun was right.
The other admirals also nodded, now, Midway is a big defeat, although it is claimed to be a victory, but they know that they have failed, fortunately, their navy still has some strength.
"Therefore, we should occupy the important islands in eastern New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, consolidate the control position of the Japanese army in the southwest Pacific, cut off the communication lines between the United States and Australia, and protect the important military bases of the Japanese army in Rabaul and Truk, so that Australia will not be able to rely on US assistance to enhance its anti-Japanese ability in the future, and at the same time, the United States will lose its counteroffensive base against Japan in the South Pacific, and the connection between the United States and Australia through the Pacific will be paralyzed."
Yamamoto fifty-six summed it up.
"Yo Xi, let's just adjust it like this."
As the Minister of the Navy, Shigetaro Shimada nodded, "Yamamoto-kun, please make a plan and policy, and I will report it to His Excellency the Prime Minister and His Majesty." ” "Hi" As a result, in the summer of 1942, the Japanese base camp adjusted its policy on the Pacific theater.
This heralded the rigors of war on the islands of the Southwest Pacific, and its importance was highlighted by the head-to-head confrontation between the Allies and the Japanese.
In June 1942, the Chinese and American governments signed the China-US Lend-Lease Act, and the United States provided the Nationalist Government with a total of $8.4 billion in Lend-Lease materials.
In addition, the United States has provided a total of $74.7 billion in government loans to the national government.
Through these loans, the United States imported large quantities of military supplies into China, and a large amount of China's strategic minerals and agricultural products were exported to the United States through barter and debt repayment trade.
The main exports of the Kuomintang are earmarked for barter debt repayment.
For a time, the national army was also strong.
Command of the Kwantung Army "Therefore, I believe that now, in order to win the war, it is necessary to end the war on one side first."
Yoshimoto Sadachi looked at Umezu Mijiro and opened his mouth to analyze.
Umezu Mijiro frowned, then nodded, "Indeed, the China incident has dragged too many troops from the empire. ” "However, the empire will not give up the land acquired by the China incident, so the only way to do this is to continue the offensive and end the incident as soon as possible."
Yoshimoto pointed to the map, "Let's say, Wuhan, Changsha, western China. ” "But, Yoshimoto-kun, have you thought about what to do with the independent division" Umezu Mijiro spoke, the independent division, is a hurdle that they can't get around.
"Nowadays, the friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China has become bigger and bigger."
Yoshimoto smiled, "Plus, the defeat of the Imperial Navy, our enemies, don't think that the Empire will win the final victory. ” "Indeed."
"Under such circumstances, I believe that it is best for the troops on the battlefield of China to remain unmoved for the time being, and to continue to provoke the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party with all kinds of spies, and that the Kuomintang will encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army so that no matter who wins or loses, what is consumed is the strength of their Chinese."
"Go on."
"Hi Independent Division, it is well known that it is not in harmony with the national army.
If the Kuomintang and the Communist Party go to war, then, it doesn't matter who he wants to help or which side he helps, it doesn't matter to the empire, of course, it is best to help the Eighth Route fight the national army, after all, for now, the national army is still the main enemy of the empire. ” "If there is really civil strife in China, then it should not be so difficult for the empire to take China again."
"Yoshimoto-kun, you're naïve."
Umezu Mijiro shook his head, "It's right to provoke a dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but it is unlikely that the two sides will fight at all costs, unless, the imperial warriors withdraw from the land of China":
