    The Japanese went to war in the Philippines, and then used airborne troops to seize two major oil fields in Indonesia. In everyone's eyes, this was a precursor to their imminent all-out attack on Southeast Asia.  Because if the Japanese really want to invade Indonesia on a large scale and obtain scarce oil resources from Indonesia, they must capture Malaya and Singapore, otherwise their waterways will be threatened by the British.  To attack Malaya and Singapore, Siam must be used as a springboard. However, as long as Japan enters Siam, it will be threatened by the British army in Burma. Therefore, as long as the Japanese want to go south to Indonesia, they must join Burma.  beat.  But the Japanese just didn't follow the conventional path. They first made full use of their momentum to attack the British, but then suddenly turned around and kicked the American troops who were organizing their forward positions in New Guinea.  Tadashi Nagumo once again showed his level as a first-class navigator. He led a huge fleet to raid Port Moresby in New Guinea, catching the Australians and Americans there by surprise.  While the Americans hurriedly organized their defense, the Japanese Army came on stage.  Since the Australians and Americans did not expect that they would be the first targets of the Japanese attack, their performance was worse than that of the Philippines.  In less than two days, the entire Port Moresby was lost. Except for a few of the guards who escaped, most of them were captured.  But the Japanese did not intend to stop there.  After Nagumo Chuichi¡¯s fleet abandoned the army in Port Moresby, it headed south directly to Australia.  If anyone is familiar with world maps, they will know that Papua New Guinea is the big turtle-like island above Australia.  Port Moresby is on the lower right side of this "turtle".  In other words, continuing to the southeast from Port Moresby is the most prosperous, important and densely populated eastern region of Australia.  From north to south, Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne Not far from the northwest of Australia is Indonesia.  Japan invaded Southeast Asia, and its strategic purpose was obvious.  In order to fight against it, the United States chose Australia as its frontline. This is absolutely the right thing to do.  But no one expected that the Japanese did not follow common sense, did not care that they did not have two relay stations in Malaya and Indonesia, and did not care that logistics was difficult to handle, but they actually carried out another "long-distance attack".  However, considering the previous Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor and even the United States, this sudden attack on Australia does not seem to be a surprise.  The United States, Australia, and Australia's suzerain country, the United Kingdom, lost.  In fact, I lost in four words: I don¡¯t have a long memory!  ¡­ ¡­ ¡°Those baggage items¡ª¡ª¡± Upon hearing that New Guinea was lost, Qin Wei was so angry that he beat his chest.  In order to support the defense and counterattack against Japan with Australia and New Guinea as the fulcrum, the Americans accumulated a large amount of supplies in Port Moresby.  The total quantity has now reached hundreds of thousands of tons.  There are more than 200,000 tons of supplies in Port Moresby alone.  This is what the Americans intend to keep for their own troops.  But now everything is cheaper for the Japanese.  Based on the combat and equipment habits of the U.S. Army, one can imagine the richness of this batch of supplies.  You can be sure that you will get this batch of baggage.  The war potential of the Japanese can be extended for a long time Of course, the Japanese can last a little longer.  On the whole, it is a good thing for China now.  But whenever he thinks of so many supplies, Qin Wei can't help but feel distressed.  In fact, it wasn't just him. Everyone in China, from Chiang Kai-shek to Chiang Kai-shek, was furious when they heard the news.  "This is a lesson! A lesson for those Americans!" He Yingqin's eyes were all red.  As Minister of Defense.  He was constantly busy dealing with various material requirements from various war zones every day, but there were only so few things, no matter how generous he was, he could only dig them out bit by bit.  But the Americans would rather "send" so many supplies to the Japanese.  Nor are they willing to use it to support China.  How could he not be angry?  How can you avoid pinkeye?  "If it were just a loss in baggage, the Americans wouldn't care." Chen Cheng said goodbye to He Yingqin.  On the surface, this old guy was talking about the Americans, but in fact he was jealous of the things in Chiang Kai-shek's hands.  It was rumored that Qin Wei, Du Yuming, Sun Liren and others obtained dozens of tons of gold and hundreds of tons of silver from Southeast Asia, but Chiang Kai-shek refused to admit it and refused to use the money to subsidize various ministries.  Although this may be for the sake of long-term development and long-term planning, He Yingqin is responsible for "spending money", so who can take care of this?  Moreover, people in all war zones seemed to have received similar news, and some even said that the gold was worth hundreds of tons. As a result, everyone's eyes were as red as rabbits, and they all sent people to Chongqing to catch the autumn wind.  He Yingqin was almost driven crazy and went to see Chiang Kai-shek countless times.  But Chiang Kai-shek just didn't tell the truth.  So, now He Yingqin seizes the opportunity and wants to use the example of the Yankees to "admonish" Chiang Kai-shek Keep it?  What's the use of keeping it?  If something goes wrong one day, these gold and silver will not be yours.  However, Chen Cheng and He Ying??'s position is different. He is in charge of the Political Department, and the Ninth War Zone under his command has always been the most valued by Chiang Kai-shek. He gives priority to everything he does, and he doesn't care about such trivial things: "Now  The key is strategy! If Australia is lost, the Americans can only rely on Hawaii as an outpost. It is located in the Pacific Ocean, further away from Southeast Asia than from the Japanese mainland, and has no strategic depth. Before the Pacific Fleet regains its combat effectiveness,  It would be effortless for the Japanese navy to clean up there" "That's right. If I were Japanese, after taking Australia, I would immediately send troops north to take Pearl Harbor." Zhang Zhizhong sighed, "That's it.  If the Americans want to compete with me in Asia, they can only cross the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and then the Indian Ocean The logistical pressure will increase exponentially. "Should the Americans know the lesson now?" Qin Wei suddenly asked.  "Of course I know." Lao Jiang snorted coldly, "The news from Song Ziwen said that the US government is putting pressure on them to establish a Pan-Western Pacific theater to lead the war in East Asia and Southeast Asia. However, this Southeast Asia is not allowed to include the Malays.  Yahe Burma!¡± ¡°Regardless of food,¡± Qin Wei said with a disdainful smile.  "That's not necessarily the case." Bai Chongxi rolled her eyes at him, "It is very likely that Australia will fall. With the speed at which Nan Yunzhong is advancing, the Americans will most likely not have time to assist And once Australia falls, as Brother Wenbai said,  , they have to take the waterway controlled by the British. At this time, they cannot provoke the British too much. "It is not that it is too late to provide assistance, but it is definitely too late!" He Yingqin said: "The Japanese Navy launched a large-scale attack.  It is still dilapidated. Even if the Americans bring over all the naval forces in the Atlantic, they may not be able to guarantee victory. What's more, they still have to guard against the Germans. In this way, they cannot mobilize many warships.  There is only a hastily expanded army. But without the protection of the navy, how can the army cross the ocean and enter Australia? "Now it depends on the Japanese army, but I guess they will not let us down too much." Qin Wei said with a smile.  "I guess I won't be too disappointed, but this has nothing to do with the Japanese Army." Lao Jiang said again.  "According to the news from the United States, the main force attacking Australia is not the Japanese." "Not the Japanese?" Qin Wei was startled, "Who is that person? It can't be the Germans or Italians, right?  "What are you thinking about?" Bai Zongxi rolled his eyes at him, "Germany and Italy don't have enough people." "Then the French won't surrender."  Are you there? As a slave country, you should contribute to the war of the sovereign country." "It's those labor reform prisoners in Siberia." Lao Jiang was impatient to hear Qin Wei's jokes.  He directly announced the answer: "And it is said that they are all wearing Soviet military uniforms and flying the flag of the Soviet Red Army." "Soviet Red Army?" Qin Wei was stunned: "Have they not, haven't they all rebelled, and now they are mortal enemies with the Soviet Union?  "Are you there?" "Wonderful!" Zhang Zhizhong slapped him, "These Japanese are really going to any lengths to help their allies even though everyone knows that these reform-through-labor prisoners are from the Soviet Union.  Traitors. But ordinary people may not care about this. They invaded Australia under the banner of the Soviet Red Army. What do the people of Britain and the United States think? The Soviet Union has now begun to ask for help. If it is for strategic reasons, everyone will definitely agree.  One is socialism and the other is capitalism. They are sworn enemies, and now they see such a drama directed by the Japanese. "What do ordinary people know? As long as the two governments spread more propaganda and ban the Soviet Union in Australia."  Who cares about the news about the Red Army?" Chen Cheng didn't believe it.  "That's hard to say." Qin Wei tilted his head and thought for a while, "Do you still remember the publicity the Japanese launched after they conquered the labor camps in Siberia some time ago? How many of those labor camp prisoners were tortured beyond human form? The British and American claim to be '  Democracy', for this matter, they once criticized the Soviet Union, especially the United States, and the commotion was not small Now the Japanese have gathered these labor reform prisoners again. People with a discerning eye know that this may be because they have insufficient troops, or it may be to better control Siberia.  But the first thing most people think of is the disgraceful past of the Soviet government Although this may not affect the overall strategies of several countries, as long as there is a slight problem at a critical moment, it may be enough for them. " " Press  According to your opinion, the Japanese are pursuing the idea of ??'planting more and reaping less'?" He Yingqin asked.  "Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Japanese, Germans, Italians, even the French, must have a way to make people in Britain and the United States notice these things.  "Qin Weidao, "Think about it, if the Soviet Union is defined as an 'evil' country by then, what will be the nature of the countries that support evil countries?  If your definition of yourself changes, what impact will it have on the war?  Especially the United States. Putting aside the factors of Japanese sneak attacks, they almost actively participated in the war.  In the eyes of many ordinary Americans, and even many extraordinary Americans, this war could have had nothing to do with them It can be said that if it had not been for the Japanese sneak attack, Roosevelt would have been charged with the crime of the United States' participation in the war.  People bear it." "A dike of thousands of miles collapsed in an ant nest!  If the Japanese really had this idea, they would have to guard against it.  But don¡¯t worry too much.  "Bai Chongxi said, "The question now is, what should we do?  " "The U.S. government has issued a notice that it will send people to pick up MacArthur and go to command the war in Australia.  But the US troops under him are not easy to handle.  "Lao Jiang said, "The Americans want to form a coalition with us to fight together in Southeast Asia.  But they need to send someone else to serve as the commander of the US military.  " "Isn't there Wainwright?  "Qin Wei asked. "Who knows what they are planning.  "Lao Jiang said, "But I heard that this newly sent guy has a good relationship with their general chief of staff, Marshall, and is very valued.  "    "oh?  who is it?  Qin Wei asked, "Isn't it Eisenhower?"  " "You know an Eisenhower.  "Bai Chongxi rolled her eyes at him. "It's not Eisenhower," Old Jiang said with a pity in his tone. He actually liked Eisenhower very much. After all, there are not many foreigners who have a peaceful attitude and know how to be polite. "It seems to be called Shi.  Deewe!  " "Stilwell?  Qin Wei's eyes suddenly froze: "No, this guy can't do it!"  Absolutely unacceptable!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
