Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The beginning of AD 1938 was dark, cold and devoid of light for the world.  As the war in Afghanistan continued, the Soviet Union secretly contacted Germany, Germany annexed Austria, and the Chinese Foreign Minister arrived in Tehran, the U.S. Congress passed the second Carl Vinson Act, announcing that it would increase the annual naval appropriation to one billion U.S. dollars, build three South Dakota-class battleships, and  The overall size of the navy will be expanded by 20%.

    Breaking news one after another has caused a secret war in Eurasia.  From England and Hokkaido, even the United States, which is strategically located, has begun to quietly prepare.  Many people understand that an all-out war is only a matter of time.  On the tense eve before the birth of this new international order, every country and person who wants to compete in the world has come on stage to win over, bribe, form alliances, exchange, etc., each showing their talents and scheming to compete.

    The three countries that were the first to take action, China, the Soviet Union and Germany, jointly opened the curtain of competition and gradually spread to every corner of the world. While Gu Weijun was waiting for Reza Khan's decision in Tehran, Ribbentrop stepped into the mysterious Kremlin as the German envoy.  While at the palace, a cargo ship flying the Brazilian flag quietly arrived at the port of Odessa carrying two thousand tons of cocoa.  "Nagata-kun, it's been a long time no see. Are your eyes better?" Tetszan Nagata, who was wearing thick glasses and disguised as a passenger, had just disembarked from the ship. The Japanese ambassador to the Soviet Union, Hota, came up to him. He shook hands enthusiastically and asked how he was doing.  .

    "Thank you, Hota-kun, for your concern. You have worked hard here. Is there anything new during this period?" Nagata Tetsuzan has been ignored by the Japanese military headquarters, but he does not give up because he proposed the plan to go south, so even if it is far away  Working quietly in East Timor, still unwilling to give up.  Fortunately, as Yamamoto Isoroku was promoted step by step, as his biggest supporter, Yamamoto provided him with a large amount of intelligence for analysis. When he learned that Soviet Germany had secretly met in Berlin and Gu Weijun visited Saudi Arabia and Iran, he immediately recognized the opportunity.  .  So he immediately took a naval plane back to China and asked to come to the Soviet Union to investigate the inside story of Soviet Germany.

    The movements of the Soviet Union are too important to Japan!  Especially since the war in Afghanistan began, the reality of the Soviet army's overall backwardness made Moscow, which had once ignored Japan, realize the value of Japan, so it recently began exporting raw materials to Japan. The Soviet ambassador to Japan also began to ask Japan to fulfill its obligations as soon as possible to attack China.  Tojo Hideki and others were very moved by this suggestion, but Nagata Tetsuzan was particularly opposed to taking action immediately, so he rushed back to Tokyo and volunteered to serve as a special envoy to the Soviet Union to inquire about the situation.  Probably because he felt that his too much influence in the country would threaten their political status, Konoe Fumimaro and Tojo Hideki were eager to send him away and agreed to let him serve as a special envoy.

    Hotta is a diplomat of the Nagata faction.  He was also the most active member of the Japanese-German alliance. After welcoming Nagata Tetsuzan into the car and driving to the train station, he became excited when talking about the recent situation in Europe: "Nagata-kun, the opportunity for the empire is coming soon! I have already found out that Hitler  After annexing Austria, it was ready to attack Czechoslovakia."

    After the split of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there have been calls for autonomy in the Sudetenland region of the Czech Republic because of the large number of Germans.  As the German army annexed Austria without bloodshed, the Nazis in the Sudetenland region colluded with Germany, and Hitler also took advantage of this sentiment.  Begins to build up troops towards the Czech border.  Since the Czech Republic has signed protection agreements with France and the Soviet Union, Hota believes that as long as the German army attacks the Czech Republic, it will inevitably trigger a melee between the Soviet Union, France and Germany, and Britain will inevitably be dragged into Europe.  There is one less obstacle for Japan to move south.

    After drifting at sea for more than half a month, Nagata Tieshan could not help but be a little excited when he suddenly learned that the Sudetenland was in crisis.  But Japan is no longer the Japan it was before. The balance of national power between China and Japan has gradually become unbalanced.  Japan has become increasingly cautious, especially when the Afghan civil war broke out.  Amid the chants in China that "the time is ripe to go south," he still wrote a letter to the emperor personally asking for a postponement.  Although the current Sudetenland crisis will drag Britain into Europe, a war between the Soviet Union and Germany is something he does not want to see.  "Hotita-kun, do you think the Soviet Union and Germany will form an alliance?" After thinking about it several times, he asked the question.

    Will Su De and Su De get together?

    This is probably what the intelligence agencies of various countries want to know most!  If the Soviet Union and Germany join forces, Britain and France will be completely dragged into Europe, and Japan can quickly move south to control the Southeast Asia, and then attack India and join the Soviet Union in the Indian Ocean, forming a huge encirclement of China and relying on its strong navy to cut off China's communication with the outside world.  Then use the wealth of Nanyang to rapidly expand armaments, and then turn around to cooperate with the Soviet Union and China in a decisive battle!

    This is the path Nagata Tetsuzan designed for Japan. As a die-hard, Hotta naturally knew about this plan, but he did not think highly of Su De: "Nagata-kun, I'm afraid this matter is not optimistic. Soviet special envoy Motolov  After arriving in Berlin, no agreement could be reached, and Hitler had personally promised the British envoy that he would not compromise with gcism. Even the United States sent an envoy to visit Moscow, so the situation is not optimistic."

    "This is too bad, China Yang QiuWe will definitely not be on the opposite side of Britain. The situation going south is not good  "

    Hota¡¯s words made Nagata¡¯s heart suddenly sink.  Through these years of research, he knew Yang Qiu's character very well.  If Britain and France encouraged Germany to attack the Soviet Union first, then Yang Qiu would definitely not be stupid enough to attack Germany from a flank. Instead, he would be very willing to see Europe destroyed. At that time, the Soviet Union would definitely be willing to compromise with Beijing.  Once there is no pressure from the northwest, millions of fully equipped National Defense Forces can easily be deployed on the battlefields of Korea and Southeast Asia. Unless they surrender to the United States, Japan will definitely lose in this battle!

    ¡°After ten years of hard work and exhaustion of national power and armaments, do we have to become the lackey of the United States without firing a single shot?

    "Nagata-kun, don't be too upset. We can arrive in Moscow tomorrow night to find out what the Soviets are thinking. Anyway, Moscow needs us now." Hota saw that Nagata Tetsuyama's face was abnormally flushed, and the tip of his nose was filled with thoughts.  There were still drops of sweat, fearing that he would harm his body by worrying too much, so he quickly comforted her.

    "Thank you, Hota-kun." Nagata Tetsuzan thanked him and slowly closed his eyes.

    ?¡­

    "Mr. Motolov, I am here to uphold the will of the German head of state and express the most sincere goodwill to Mr. Stalin and the Soviet people on behalf of Germany. You should know that since the end of the last war,  The conflicts and misunderstandings between our two countries will be resolved. Since 1921, our two countries have cooperated on thousands of projects, and the exchanges between the two militaries are even more frequent. This shows that there are no crises or conflicts between us, and the current tension is completely  It is a conspiracy deliberately created by Britain and France! The head of state has always been very concerned about the ongoing war in Afghanistan. He is very worried that the "yellow peril" will spread to Europe. In order to maintain the glory of our Europe, he is willing to sell it to you and the people of your country.  Military equipment including the L¨¹tzow cruiser, BF109 fighter jets and HE111 bombers help your country defeat the invasion from the east.

    In addition, to express our sincerity, the head of state has given me full authority to define clear areas of control to avoid conflicts.  The idea is to leave Finland and the Baltic States to Mr. Stalin's administration.  And jointly manage the troubles that lie between us, Poland!  At the same time, we will recognize that Iran, Afghanistan, India and the Far East are your country's areas of interest, and are willing to work with you to manage the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits.  "When Nagata Tieshan rushed to Moscow anxiously, Ribbentrop was also talking in a suit in the spacious Kremlin confidential conference room. In his words, it seemed that the Soviet Union and Germany were destined to be natural partners.  and friends.

    This negotiation has been going on for more than ten days. Hitler, who was waiting in Berlin, was already a little impatient because he had decided to attack the Sudetenland and the Czech Republic.  If the Soviet Union sends troops to protect the Czech Republic because there is no agreement, Germany will face the disadvantage of fighting on two fronts.  But he did not win over the Soviet Union unconditionally. After repeated consideration, he eliminated key tactical weapons such as the JU87 dive bomber.

    But even so, the list of weapons and the division of forces thrown out by Ribbentrop still made the Soviet delegation and military officers particularly envious.  If Stalin hadn't hesitated to speak, Voroshilov sitting next to him would have nodded in agreement without hesitation.  Germany's promise this time was something the Soviet Union had never thought of before, especially the three Baltic countries, Iran and Turkey. It was simply naked seduction!  But the recent situation of Germany's concentration of troops on the Sudetenland.  But it brought the negotiations to a deadlock because there was a protection agreement between the Soviet Union and the Czech Republic.  This new situation made Motolov cautious: "Mr. Ribbentrop, your country has recently mobilized troops to the Czech border. I don't know what the reason is? We, the Soviet Union and the Czech Republic, have a protection agreement."

    Facing the stern Mottolov, the cunning Ribbentrop picked up the tea cup unhurriedly.  He knew that Hitler was anxious in Berlin, but he would not show any urgency on his face, because he knew that Stalin was more anxious than himself now!  Deliberately handed the news he had just received to Motolov and negotiator Voroshilov: "Mr. Motolov, Mr. Marshal, the Czech Republic is just a small problem. The 3 million Germans in the Sudetenland are being treated unfairly. We  These oceans are just to prevent persecution! But before talking about the Czech Republic, I have something to give you two."

    thing?  What is it?  In Motolov's surprise, Ribbentrop had already taken out a telegram, put it on the table and pushed it in front of him: "This is what our technical personnel in Iran have just learned about. I believe you will be interested."  .¡±

    Everyone here knows that Germany has penetrated Iran very deeply in recent years, even more than the Soviet Union. In addition, not long after Beria came to power, the intelligence system was seriously damaged by the purge, so Motolov really doesn¡¯t know what happened to Iran.  When he opened the telegram and saw the message above, he couldn't help but his expression changed drastically.

    Has China intervened in Iran?  !

    Voroshilov even gasped in public.These subtle movements made Ribbentrop secretly happy, but also somewhat despised the Soviet army's idiot marshal.  To be honest, even if the Soviet Union and China went into full-scale war, no matter how bad the Eastern Front was, they could still use the weather and distance to delay the war for two or three years. This time would be enough for Moscow to recruit more troops and manufacture more weapons and equipment.  But Iran is different!  If China intervenes in Iran and eventually forms an alliance to garrison troops, it will be equivalent to inserting its blade into Baku, the Caspian Sea and the hinterland of the Caucasus at once!

    You know, Baku is known as the Soviet oil warehouse, and 70% of the country's refining capacity is there.  Without Baku, the West Siberian oil fields alone cannot sustain a war of attrition with China, so even a seasoned politician like Motolov became solemn: "Mr. Ribbentrop, is this news true?"

    "certainly!"

    Ribbentrop curled his lips slightly. He liked this feeling of taking the initiative.  He smiled and said: "We in Germany will never sell false information. You can confirm this news. And we have received the exact information that the British government has acquiesced to this transaction!"
