Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qin Wei wants to drive MacArthur out of Asia, because this guy was the commander of the US military's Western Pacific Theater in the original history. After defeating the main force of the Japanese navy, the "leapfrog" tactic designed by him and Admiral Nimitz made  The U.S. military no longer paid attention to the Japanese military dens hiding on the small islands, and directly abandoned the traditional front-line push tactics, and instead jumped forward and attacked across the islands.  As a result, under their command, the Allied forces in the Pacific Theater advanced in two directions, taking advantage of their naval superiority to avoid the Japanese frontline defense points and capture the weakly defended islands in their strategic depth. After success, they could use this as a support to continue their offensive.  , thus greatly accelerating the progress of the war, and it took just over half a year to break through the Japanese army's internal defense circle.  It can be seen from here that this American five-star general who has been acting all his life is indeed a genius in war.  If it weren't for him and Nimitz, the war in the Pacific might have continued for an unknown amount of time. Anyway, the possibility of Japan surrendering in 1945 was extremely slim.  And even if the Japanese are forced by the pressure of Germany and Italy to surrender and are no longer willing to fight alone and are willing to surrender, I am afraid it will not be unconditional.  Because their homeland had not been attacked at that time.  In this way, Japan will still be the most powerful country in Asia and will always maintain military pressure on East Asian countries, especially China.  That is not in China¡¯s interests.  But Qin Wei still decided to drive MacArthur and his American troops out of Asia.  He hates this "leapfrog tactic"!  Because he is now confident that if the Americans do not intervene, the Chinese team will definitely be the one to attack the Japanese at sea in the end.  For the Chinese ** team, this so-called "leapfrog" tactic is nothing but useless.  Does China need to "leapfrog" if it wants to attack Japan?  How many small islands are there between China and Japan that can be continuously jumped?  Most importantly, the premature ending of the Pacific War is now extremely inconsistent with China's interests.  Qin Wei wanted to use this war to drive Britain, the United States and other countries out of Southeast Asia.  And it does not want the United States to become the world's economic hegemon in the future, but also to become a military hegemon.  Because it is now unlikely that the Soviet Union will rise and compete with the United States.  Without the Soviet Union, if the United States remained as powerful as before, which country in the world could resist?  But the United States is "protected" by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and its own strength is extremely strong, so the possibility of damage to its homeland is too small.  Therefore, Qin Wei could only let it bleed profusely on the European battlefield until it could no longer move freely within ten or twenty years.  But this all has a premise: there can be no US military presence in Southeast Asia.  If there were US troops, Qin Wei's plan would be basically bankrupt, and his plan to plunder Japanese industry would be even more difficult to realize.  Because China lacks a navy.     so.  Qin Wei has been encouraging Chiang Kai-shek to show the momentum that a leader of a one-man country should have and fight for China's due power and interests in front of Britain and the United States.  This is why he handed over the Philippine treasury and gold and silver from Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam to Chiang Kai-shek.  Without this money, Chiang Kai-shek would have no confidence.  However, Chiang Kai-shek, who was confident, did cause a lot of trouble for Britain and the United States.  ¡­¡­ ¡°What Asian war zone? I firmly oppose it! Objection!¡± Shangri-La!  Note, this is not Shangri-La in Tibet, China.  This is America.  1938.  That was the year Qin Wei arrived in Chongqing, which is located in Maryland, USA.  A resort mountain resort was built only 120 kilometers away from the capital Washington.  It was originally named "Catoctin Mountain Villa", named after the Catoctin Mountains where it is located.  Originally, it was a vacation spot for U.S. federal government workers and their families. But in 1939, it became Roosevelt's exclusive sanatorium, and has since been used as a summer resort exclusively for the President of the United States.  Roosevelt was in poor health.  So he often came here to recuperate, and gave it a poetic name: "Shangri-La" ("Shangri-La" is Tibetan, meaning "Shangri-La") based on the novel "Lost Horizon" published by British writer James Hilton in 1933.  "The sun and moon in our hearts". It is the ideal state that people yearn for - "Utopia"). However, this is only its current name. After Eisenhower became president, this resort was renamed after his favorite grandson.  The name became the famous "Camp David" in later generations!  Roosevelt is very busy now, so of course he cannot come here to recuperate. Moreover, he did not come here alone. He also brought Churchill, two representatives of China: Song Ziwen and Yan Huiqing, and their respective entourages.  There is only one reason for coming here: to complete the negotiations between the three countries without being disturbed by the outside world.  But Roosevelt obviously had the wrong idea.  From the beginning of the negotiations, the Chinese were very uncooperative.  "I also think that the establishment of an Asian theater is too unrealistic." Looking at the short fat man who did not live there and stamped his feet, Roosevelt didn't know how many times he rubbed his forehead."Asia is too big. No country or alliance in the world has the ability to command a campaign on such a large scale. Moreover, the current battle is only limited to East Asia and Southeast Asia, and we do not think it is necessary to include the entire Asia."  "But the Japanese have now begun to attack Indonesia and are progressing smoothly. Therefore, it will not be long before they launch attacks on Malaya, Singapore and Myanmar. As long as they complete their strategic goals, their next target will definitely be India."  ." After arguing with the leaders of the two countries, Song Ziwen is now more confident, "Once India falls, West Asia will face tremendous pressure Prime Minister Churchill, you don't think that most of the oil that Britain needs now comes from Iran.  Let the Japanese navy block the Persian Gulf? "It's ridiculous. If the Japanese can't even break through Burma and Malaya, how can they attack India? How can they block the Persian Gulf if they can't attack India?"  .  "According to the deductions of our military department, your country's military arrangements in Malaya and Burma are simply unable to withstand the Japanese attack. With all due respect, if you still don't listen to our advice and insist on going your own way, then in the middle of this year  , the Japanese warships will cross India and reach the Persian Gulf. "By then, it will be too late." "It's ridiculous! You Chinese can't beat the Japanese."  Do you think everyone will be like you when you are so embarrassed? The British Empire not only has a strong navy, but also an equally strong army. The Japanese did not dare to attack Malaya and Burma, which we have heavily deployed, but instead attacked Indonesia first. This is proof.  . Even the Japanese have no confidence in victory. Where do you get this confidence? In my opinion, this is simply a false judgment made by you in order to seize the interests of the entire Asia." Churchill shouted.  "Until now, many military predictions made by our military department have not deviated greatly. Especially for the Siberian Campaign, they are almost exactly the same as our judgments." Yan Huiqing kept squinting his eyes.  .  At this time, he suddenly said: "Mr. Prime Minister, the Soviet Union has paid a huge price for their arrogance, and they now have to face tremendous pressure from two directions. But you still despise Japan You are also a soldier,  But you obviously lack the sense and prudence that a soldier should have. "It is because of my sense and prudence that I see the shadow of greed in you. You are like the giant wolf Fenrir in Norse mythology."  You are too greedy. China does not have the ability to lead the whole of Asia. It will only cause the allies to fall into endless disputes.  Churchill shouted.  "Are we greedy?" It seems a bit greedy.  But if you don't seize the opportunity at this time.  I will still have to follow you as a follower from now on.  Are you bullying me?  Song Ziwen sneered at Churchill's words.  The current situation is that Britain and the United States cannot live without China, let alone force China to the side of the Axis powers.  According to domestic arrangements, a rumor began to spread in the United States and even Europe: Japan did not gain anything in China, and now it has gained huge Siberia, and its military strength is tight.  Therefore, the Japanese cabinet seems to be interested in negotiating peace with China and intends to give up all occupied Chinese territory except the three northeastern provinces in exchange for a freer strategic space.  and the cooperation of the Chinese government.  Of course, this rumor also reached the ears of Roosevelt and Churchill in front of him. Although these two people had not said anything until now, he still felt the tension of these two people: the Japanese had armed Siberian labor reform prisoners, and  As a result, a large number of troops were obtained. If China was addedthen the Allies would not need to fight at all.  Because of China¡¯s population base, the Axis powers can kill them even if they just pile up people.  It can be said that if we didn¡¯t know the virtues of the Japanese and know that the Japanese always eat without spitting out and would never give up the fat in their mouths, even Song Ziwen himself would be tempted by this rumor.  You can easily take back most of the fallen country. Why not do such a good thing?  "If we were really greedy, we would not give up Cambodia and Vietnam! We are doing this just for the benefit of the allies." Song Ziwen said again.  "The interests of the Allies? You just don't want to go to war with the Japanese before you get enough benefits." Churchill snorted coldly.  "We no longer have the capital to fight the Japanese on a large scale." Yan Huiqing shouted, "China does not have enough industry, let alone enough resources. But we have to maintain the operation of millions of troops. Our entire country is  The battlefield is depleted everywhere. Our people are hungry, and our soldiers don¡¯t even have enough guns and bullets. In this case, do you want us to fight the Japanese with fire sticks?¡±  But you guys were obviously following me beforeI have won several battles.  "Churchill retorted. "So our baggage has consumed most of it.  Colonel Jimmy Doolittle's report has been sent to the U.S. War Department. You should know this!  "Song Ziwen also said loudly. "Since you can't even support your own domestic war, why are you so anxious to establish an Asian theater?  Can you handle it?  "Churchill snorted coldly. "Mr. Prime Minister, do you think we are willing to do this?  Only by taking on a wider range of responsibilities will it be possible to receive more support from you.  And now that the cooperation between the Allies has not officially begun, you are pushing back and blocking us. How can you ask us to trust you?  Yan Huiqing asked. "If China gives up its intention to establish an Asian theater, our first batch of aid can be sent out immediately."  "Roosevelt said suddenly. "Help should be sent immediately.  Because the Japanese will soon launch a full-scale attack on Southeast Asia!  Without our support, the British team will definitely be destined to fail.  Song Ziwen said. "What do you mean?"  " Churchill was furious. "It doesn't mean anything," Yan Huiqing added, "We also hope that your country's army can listen to our command, because only in this way can greater losses be avoided Because according to deductions, you are in Malaya and  Myanmar's fate of failure is inevitable.  " "Arrogant¡ª¡ª" Churchill stood up, turned around and walked away: "It's simply unreasonable!  " "Mr. Prime Minister" Roosevelt tried to stop the short fat man from behind, but unfortunately he failed. He could only watch Churchill leave angrily. And in this way, his impression of the two Chinese representatives in front of him became even worse.  : "You two, is this your purpose?  You have no intention of cooperating with the British, do you?  " "The British are too arrogant. They will not cooperate with anyone sincerely until they really suffer.  "Yan Huiqing sighed. "Moreover, if we cooperate with them at this time, then when they are defeated, our people will definitely be betrayed by them and be pushed out to stop the Japanese for them!  We won't do such stupid things.  "Song Ziwen was expressionless. "We are allies, and we need trust between us" Roosevelt said feebly. "Mr. President, speaking of trust We would like to make a suggestion to you about the establishment of the European Theater of Operations through British-American cooperation.  "Song Ziwen and Yan Huiqing looked at each other and said again. "European theater?  What does this have to do with you?  "Too greedy! Where do these Chinese people want to stretch their hands? Roosevelt felt that he should be stunned. These people actually want to intervene in the European theater? "It's just a small suggestion.  Song Ziwen shrugged, "We believe that your country would be better off nominating Colonel Eisenhower as the candidate for the Allied Commander-in-Chief of the European Theater of Operations!"  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
