Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After being ordered to sneak into the Japanese-occupied area in the Southwest Pacific, one of Chutian's special operations detachment sent back the first intelligence about the Japanese Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force, which was fighting fierce battles with the Allies on the Australian battlefield.

    The content of the intelligence is very simple, "After reconnaissance, it was discovered that the Japanese troops of two divisions left the Australian battlefield and returned north, but their specific whereabouts are unknown, and further reconnaissance is underway!"

    The transfer of Japanese troops from the two divisions was nothing to make a fuss about. After all, there were more than 1.3 million Japanese troops on the Australian battlefield. However, the most critical word in the intelligence, "return north," had to be revealed to Tang Qiu.  There is more to think about.

    Tang Qiuli¡¯s judgment is that it is very possible that the two divisions returning north are Japanese.  It was to strengthen the defense forces of Kalimantan and Sumatra, which are across the sea from Indochina. But why did the Japanese do this when they were in a stalemate with the Allies on the Australian battlefield?

    Is the transfer of Japanese troops of the two divisions northward just that, or there will be subsequent transfers of troops. If it is the latter, it means that firstly, the Japanese army has the determination and possibility to win in the Australian battlefield.  Within two months, we will see the outcome.

    The second is that the Japanese are planning a bigger move. They are worried that the independent division troops will launch an attack in the Japanese-occupied areas during this period. They are sending troops back north to prevent such things from happening. The problem that follows is  , what kind of big move are the Japanese planning, and they do not hesitate to deploy troops from the Australian battlefield where the fierce fighting is going on to defend themselves?

    Tang Qiuli thought about it for a hundred times but could not figure it out or make a judgment.  What exactly the Japanese want to do, but one thing is for sure, is not to target the independent divisions on the Indochina Peninsula.  The Japanese are not idiots, nor do they have the strength to fight fiercely with the Allies in Australia, and then turn around and actively attack themselves, fighting on two fronts.

    Since we can¡¯t see the steps of the Japanese for the time being, let¡¯s wait and see what happens. Tang Qiuli sent a secret message to Chu Tian, ??the leader of the special operations detachment.  "Closely monitor the movements of all Japanese troops, especially those on the Australian battlefield!"

    The telegram from the domestic Joint Chiefs of Staff made Lieutenant General Bahlisman, commander of the Australian Allied Forces, look grim.  It was as ugly as a bitter gourd. Within three months, there were no follow-up reinforcements. After changing the way of fighting against the Japanese army.  For the Allied forces, who were suddenly in a tight situation.  It is undoubtedly adding insult to injury, "I hope I can withstand three months!" Lieutenant General Bachlisman said with a sigh to the deputy commander, the British General Fernandez.

    ??In the Reichstag Building in Berlin, the capital of Germany, in the Office of the Head of State, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop walked in with a document bag under his arm, after being briefly interrogated by eight SS guards.  He knocked gently on the door of the head of state's office.

    "Come in!" Hitler's calm voice came out, since he destroyed the Soviets.  The head of state was always in a very good mood, smiling all day long, and treating his subordinates very kindly. Not only that, but the whole of Germany was filled with excitement.

    After pushing the door open, Ribbentrop gave a standard Nazi military salute and shouted: "My F¨¹hrer!"

    Hitler stood up from his huge desk, still with the same exaggerated expression, and said: "Ah, dear Ribbentrop, it's been a long time since you came to my office, right? Remember the last time  Meet me, still in Kiev, when I meet my old Chinese friends? "

    "Of course, this is not your fault. Who allowed our German army to wipe out all the countries on the European continent, especially the Russians, leaving you, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, with nothing to do? Look, this is victory.  My dear Ribbentrop, come to see me today. What's the matter?"

    In response to Hitler's ridicule, Ribbentrop could only smile bitterly. The F¨¹hrer's words were correct. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs today is basically an idle office with not much to do. There is almost no stage for him to display his diplomatic talents.  However, I came today because I have something important to do.

    Ribbentrop said very seriously: "My head of state, just this morning, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly received a letter of negotiation from US Secretary of State Shulke through diplomatic channels!"

    "Oh! Americans?" Hitler moved his mustache a few times and asked with interest: "What is the content?"

    "We solemnly state the position of the U.S. government, which will never allow a single German soldier to set foot on the South American continent. This is the U.S. government's final bottom line!" Ribbentrop answered truthfully.

    "Hahaha!" Hitler suddenly laughed loudly, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world. His shoulders shook with laughter, almost leaning forward and back.

    Ribbentrop was helpless at the F¨¹hrer¡¯s laughter. As a professional diplomat, he always treated such matters very seriously, ¡°F¨¹hrer, how should we reply to the Americans?¡±??he asked.

    Hitler had laughed to tears. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes. He still couldn't help but smile and said: "Dear Ribbentrop, do you think that the protests of the Americans can prevent Germany from taking over the former European Union?"  Country, a colony on the South American continent?"

    "No! Americans do not have this power, nor the ability!" Ribbentrop replied simply.

    "That's right!" Hitler glanced at his foreign minister with admiration and said, "It seems that our army's entry into the South American continent touched the sensitive nerves of the lame Roosevelt. Even Churchill, who was full of lies and lost his dog, did not want to  See, the German army is too close to them!"

    "Ribbentrop, in the Battle of the European Continent and the British Isles, the Americans and British have been frightened by us. They are in a disadvantageous situation when fighting the Japanese on the Australian battlefield, and naturally they do not want to  The German army entered the South American continent. Perhaps, taking our action as a response to the Japanese, Roosevelt and Churchill were afraid! "

    "Very good. During the First World War, the Americans took enough advantage to make the Americans uneasy. It was also very good. The final bottom line? Hum! I want to see the final bottom line of the Americans.  Where?"

    Since then, Ribbentrop has fully understood the F¨¹hrer's intention, "F¨¹hrer, we will ignore it. The protests of the Americans will not affect the actions of the German army!" he suggested.

    "No, no, no!" Hitler's head shook like a rattle, "Dear Ribbentrop, we Germans are gentlemen, polite gentlemen. Such impolite things are not allowed.  Tell the Americans that the German army is performing its duties and does not need interference from other countries! "Do you understand?" Hitler's tone was very meaningful.

    "Understood, my F¨¹hrer!" Ribbentrop understood completely. The F¨¹hrer wanted to humiliate Roosevelt. Germany's attitude was just four words: "Protests are ineffective!"

    The reply letter from the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs soon reached the hands of US Secretary of State Schulke. He sighed longly, saying that diplomatic efforts failed. This was expected. How could Germany, which was in the limelight, not because of the United States?  What about the government's protest and halt of their military operations?

    However, after getting the confirmation, Shulk still felt sad for a while. What did the German attitude mean? It showed that the national power of the United States has declined very badly and is not enough to have any, even the slightest, deterrent effect on the Germans. Simply  Four words, "Protest is ineffective!" represent too many meanings, including contempt and humiliation.  .  .  .  .  .

    Schulke, who was in a depressed mood, drove to the President's Office in the White House and reported the Germans' reply to President Stanford. Of course, it was mixed with some of his personal judgment. As the Secretary of State in charge of foreign affairs, he had the responsibility to obtain the response.  Give your own opinion.

    Roosevelt was silent for a long time, and the worry on his sallow face became more intense. What he was thinking about was not the humiliation and contempt in the German's reply. As a successful politician, among all the previous American presidents, he was very powerful.  A leader will not get angry or behave in a panic because of this humiliation and contempt. What he is worried about is the severe situation that the United States will face after the Germans make up their mind to invade the South American continent.

    After thinking for a long time, Roosevelt called General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Secretary of Defense Voxillo. After briefing the Germans on their response, he said simply but seriously: "Prepare for war with all your strength!  The second batch of troops transferred to the southern U.S-Mexico border must speed up!¡±

    Following President Roosevelt's words, the strategic center of gravity of the United States had no choice but to move south. Even the war in Australia was relegated to a secondary position, because what the United States was about to face was a Germany that was countless times stronger and more terrifying than Japan.  , a behemoth with profound foundation!

    Thanks to Hitler, he attracted all the attention of the top leaders of the United States. After arriving in Hawaii, General Yamamoto and General Minamino quietly made preparations to attack the United States mainland, including Midway Island, Wake Island, Johnston Island, etc.  The field airfields on the main islands were expanded at an alarming rate under the control of the Japanese's fanatical emotions. These three islands, plus Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, would become the forward base for Japanese land-based aviation to bomb the United States.

    In Japan, apart from the basic need to maintain the Australian battlefield, everything revolves around opening up a battlefield in the United States. This matter is related to the fate of the Japanese Empire. A large number of ships are deployed every day on the maritime logistics supply line from the mainland to the Hawaiian Islands.  The fleet carrying military supplies is sailing, and it is absolutely safe for the fleet to sail on the vast Pacific Ocean. The Imperial Navy's combined fleet provides all-round security protection for the supply fleet.

    Preparations for opening a battlefield on American soil, aEverything is proceeding according to the plans of General Yamamoto and General Minamino, and the speed is satisfactory to the two frontline commanders. The next step is also the most important step. General Yamamoto begins to integrate the troops under his command.
