    "The telegram has been sent, and your 'victim' has probably been caught by the Japanese now."

    In the Ziguang Military Base, Wang Weiyi just said a faint "Oh".

    The last fuse has been lit!

    "I'm sorry," Yuan Wang and Wang Weiyi whispered in their hearts.

    When the war was over, he vowed that he would let everyone know the outstanding contribution Yuan Wang and other "victims" made to victory!

    But not now.

    "Directly send electricity to President Roosevelt of the United States." Wang Weiyi said calmly: "Japan is about to launch a sneak attack on the US military base at Pearl Harbor. Sign it, Ernst Alexson von Brahm!"

    "The telegram has been sent. I think this is what President Roosevelt would like to see."

    "Like in history, President Roosevelt will just pretend that he has never seen this telegram. He needs this sneak attack and this war." Wang Weiyi held his chin and whispered: "President Roosevelt has long wanted to actively intervene.  He went to war, but he was under great pressure, and the economic crisis that spread throughout the United States made him eager to use war to divert domestic dissatisfaction. Therefore, only those pearls could suffer.  American soldiers in Hong Kong¡±

    "The attack on Pearl Harbor will still happen, but at another point in time, another person will take the lead.

    Xiao Ling said at this time: "I think this sneak attack on Pearl Harbor is very different from the one that happened in history. One person will gain huge benefits from it."

    "Who?" Wang Weiyi asked with a half-smile.

    "You" Xiaoling said unceremoniously: "After the economic crisis broke out in the United States, the Wittgenstein family frantically waved their checks and acquired a large number of companies. Once the war breaks out, what will be brought to the ordinary people is war.  The pain you bring to the big capitalists is endless wealth and benefits. Those huge American companies you acquire will bring you endless money."

    "Look, what did you call me?" Wang Weiyi said with a smile on his face: "I just used part of the war wealth made by the United States for myself. Moreover, this Japanese sneak attack is very different from those in history.  , Germany will gain as much benefit from the war as I will."

    "It's been more than ten days since you left Germany. When are you going to go back?"

    Wang Weiyi thought for a moment: "Send a telegram to Adolf Hitler, saying that I am dealing with some things and it will be some time before I can go back. Ha, anyway, the Germans are already used to my disappearance."

    "President Roosevelt called back." Xiao Ling's voice interrupted Wang Weiyi: "There is only one sentence in the telegram. 'Thank you, my dear friend'"

    Wang Weiyi smiled even brighter. With President Roosevelt¡¯s words, everything is enough.

    Now, all he has to do is wait for the Japanese¡¯s final reaction

    "The intelligence has been confirmed. Judging from the China military spy case we uncovered in Manchuria, China is also preparing to launch a full-scale counterattack on the China battlefield after the United States launches a sneak attack!" Qing Shuidong's face was extremely serious: "It should be said that we are in Manchuria  The work of the intelligence agency is still very good, which confirms the authenticity of the intelligence brought back by Wilder at the risk of his life! "

    "A large amount of intelligence shows that a war between the United States and Japan is inevitable!" Tojo Hideki said with a gloomy face: "Admiral Yamamoto, as the commander of the combined fleet, what do you think?"

    Yamamoto Isoroku was silent for a moment: "From May to September 1939, as planned, the empire launched a large-scale exploratory strategic offensive against the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces in the Nomonhan area, 200 kilometers south of Hailar on the Sino-Mongolian border. Both sides  Hundreds of thousands of elite troops and advanced military equipment were mobilized to engage in a fierce battle that lasted for more than four months in a wilderness overgrown with weeds and rolling sand dunes. However, the empire suffered its most devastating blow since the Russo-Japanese War.  Therefore, this can prove that 'going north' will not work at all. Only 'going south' is our most correct choice. Going south will capture greater war resources for the empire. Resources mean everything to the war. But in Nanyang, there is Britain.  , the Netherlands, an American colony, which adds difficulties to the empire's plan to move south, coupled with the shortage of oil, so although I do not agree with an all-out war with the United States, I think that under the current circumstances, we should still take the risk and bomb it.  Drop America¡¯s Pearl Harbor¡±

    Yamamoto Isoroku has always been a hardliner on the United States.

    In 1925, Yamamoto served as the naval attache of the Japanese Embassy in the United States. In 1928, Yamamoto returned from the United States and served as captain on the cruiser "Isuzu" and the aircraft carrier Akagi.  In 1929, Yamamoto was promoted to rear admiral and served as the technical director of the Naval Aviation Department and the commander of the First Air Force.  1929, 1934Went to London twice to attend meetings on limiting naval armaments.  At that time, he was also an out-and-out fleet fan and opposed to compromise with the United States.  The representative sent by the Ministry of Finance at the Second London Conference was the later Minister of Finance, Class-A war criminal Konobu Kagoya. From the perspective of financial burden, Kaya advocated that the British and American plans should be accepted. Yamamoto Isoroku said to Kaya fiercely  : "Shut up, or I'll beat you up if you don't shut up!"

    But what makes Yamamoto feel humiliated is that after asking Kaiya to shut up, the Japanese must also shut up in front of Britain and the United States.  In order to solve this problem, the method proposed by Yamamoto was aviation combat.  At the Second London Naval Armaments Conference in 1930, Yamamoto Isoroku's advice to Deputy Minister of Military Command Nobuyasa Suezugu was: "The Imperial Navy, which is forced to accept a disadvantageous proportion, can only use air strikes from the beginning when fighting against the superior U.S. Navy.  way to give the enemy a hard blow."

    In a letter to his subordinates, he said: "The war with Britain and the United States will not be too far away. How to make a leap forward in aviation before the war is the most urgent priority!"

    He glanced at everyone: "We have been preparing for this war for a long time, but we have not yet debated the outcome. Everyone, I still have the same view as before. A war with the United States is simply unavoidable, and our army  The first strategy that should be adopted in the war between Japan and the United States should be to attack and destroy the enemy's main fleet as soon as the war begins, putting the U.S. Navy and American citizens in a hopeless position and demoralizing them, so that they can occupy the key barriers in East Asia and ensure that they are not defeated.  Once the main fleet of the United States is defeated, the morale of the idle troops south of the Philippines will be demoralized, and it will be difficult to think of fighting bravely."

    Tojo Hideki listened very carefully, and then asked slowly: "What if it fails? The possibility of failure is much greater than the possibility of success. How should we deal with it?"

    Yamamoto Isoroku didn't even hesitate for a second: "If Japan has God's blessing, the Hawaii operation will definitely succeed. If it fails midway, that means there is no God's blessing, just give up the entire operation! We actually don't have many choices.  Either withdraw troops from China, stop external expansion, and move closer to the United States diplomatically, or form a flag, go south to seize strategic resources, and continue to strengthen foreign wars. The purpose of attacking Pearl Harbor is to at least temporarily eliminate the main force of the U.S. Navy in the Pacific.  An attack would give the empire a huge strategic advantage."

    Japan is a very strange country.  The Japanese army went through the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and from these two wars, the Japanese inexplicably confused war with battles, believing that as long as they won one key battle, the entire war would be considered a victory.

    Driven by this kind of thinking, a large number of Japanese generals believe that as long as they win a battle against the United States, they can firmly grasp the dominance of the war victory in their own hands.

    Now, all the intelligence is telling the Japanese that they must start this battle earlier than the Americans!

    At this time, Yamamoto Isoroku emphasized his tone: "Everyone, Pearl Harbor in the Pacific is a major transportation hub. Hawaii is located on the west coast of the United States to the east, Japan to the west, the Islands to the southwest, and Alaska and the Bering Strait to the north.  , all between 2,000 nautical miles and 3,000 nautical miles, and aircraft traveling from north to south across the Pacific Ocean all use Hawaii as a stopover. To first seize air and sea control in the Pacific Ocean, it means that the road to the south is clear, and the Pearl must be destroyed first.  port!"

    Yamamoto Isoroku has been implementing this plan for a long time.

    In 1921, the United States published the book "Pacific Maritime Hegemony".  Four years later, part of the book was created into a novel, titled "The Great Pacific War," which describes a Japanese fleet's sneak attacks on Pearl Harbor, Guam, and the Philippine Islands.  This book was translated into Japanese by the Japanese Naval Staff and included in the curriculum of the Naval University.  When the book was published, Yamamoto was serving as military attache in Washington. It was impossible for Yamamoto, who tirelessly studied naval academics and had considerable English proficiency, not to notice this book.  The creation of the plan to attack Pearl Harbor was also closely related to Yamamoto's character traits.

    Someone in the West said about the attack on Pearl Harbor that only gamblers dare to take such big risks.  Yamamoto is an adventurer, especially fascinated by gambling.  Gambling and games of chance are more important than food, and he is an expert at playing poker, bridge, Go, and betting.  He bets with his colleagues, his subordinates, and often artists, and he bets seriously.

    In short, American novels, coupled with various factors such as Yamamoto¡¯s personal temperament, contributed to the formation of the plan to attack Pearl Harbor.

    Tojo Hideki was silent, silent, and after a long time, he slowly said:

    "Since you want to do it, then do it!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
