Long live A Japanese soldier standing on the beach of Wake Island, holding his hands high and a long rifle in one hand, cheered loudly. Behind him, more and more Japanese soldiers sang in unison, one wave higher than the other.
They have captured an island of the United States. At this moment, the American commander on the island is standing beside the triumphant Japanese commander, while the American prisoners of war who have laid down their weapons are being watched and escorted by the Japanese soldiers with bayonet rifles, and slowly walk onto the transport ship ready to carry them away.
Like Germany, Japan is seriously short of labor force, but the countries invaded by Japan are slightly different from those invaded by Germany, so the composition of labor force in the two countries is also different - the cultural level of labor force in Japan is obviously lower than that in Germany, and the countries invaded by Japan, such as China and Vietnam, can provide a large number of labor force, However, it can not make up for the serious shortage of high-tech talents in Japan. Germany, on the other hand, has more prisoners of war than Japan. In terms of pure coolie, Germany has countless Soviet prisoners; If we want high-tech talents, Germany has highly educated prisoners of war in France and Britain, which can alleviate the problem of lack of labor force to a certain extent.
Therefore, after the war between Japan and the United States, concentration camps were set up in the Philippines, lvbin and Taiwan Province of China to train prisoners of war and engage in the production of military marginal products. All of them came from Germany. When Japan and Germany were friendly, the Japanese were very interested in this concentration camp reproduction system and naturally learned a lot.
On several fronts, if any American prisoners are captured, the Japanese will immediately send them back to Taiwan or even northeast China, so that these prisoners of war will become slaves who work for Japan and produce military materials for the expansion of Japanese aggression.
With the fall of Wake Island, the United States lost an important Pacific stronghold. What's more terrible is that the United States lost its naval fleet to defend against Japanese attack. Now the whole Pacific Ocean is like a girl in open clothes, who is coveted by others.
Roosevelt urgently summoned the British special envoy and put forward a way to relieve the pressure on the Pacific battlefield. This strategy was just a magic stroke. When Roosevelt worked out this plan, he could not help crying for help. Once this plan is implemented, the whole world will be in a complete mess.
"Mr. President, what are you in such a hurry to call me here for?" Britain's special envoy looked anxiously at Roosevelt for fear that the US government might come up with something strange to make war money by betraying the interests of the British. Obviously, this time he guessed right again, and the United States did turn its mind to its ally, Britain.
Roosevelt, with a smile of embarrassment, stood up and went to the British envoy. He said, "there are 15 divisions in Australia training. I want to use the navy to transport these troops back to the United States."
"Why? At this time, the deployment of Australian troops will allow the Japanese to take advantage of the situation. " Although the British special envoy is not a military general, he also knows that the current situation is very unfavorable to Australia. Japan is likely to mobilize troops in a short time and invade Australia which is short of troops.
"It is not only the new Australian army of 15 divisions, but also the US troops of five divisions deployed in Australia. These troops will be transported back to the United States to prepare for further Japanese attacks." Roosevelt said solemnly that he knew that he would make the British special envoy furious, and that it was really bad for the British royal government, but he had to do so to make the United States get the maximum benefit.
Nimitz's naval assessment report has come out. The new commander who took over the Pacific fleet of the US Navy thinks that it is absolutely like a dream to defeat the Japanese joint fleet with the existing US naval forces.
So Nimitz drew up a bold battle plan, which included abandoning Pearl Harbor and almost all the islands of the US Navy in the Pacific Ocean. Roosevelt agreed with this plan, and supported Nimitz's idea of training the Navy as much as possible, expanding the size of the aircraft carrier of the Pacific Fleet, and conducting a strategic decisive battle when the size of the aircraft carrier is larger than that of Japan.
To put it bluntly, this strategy is the Navy's version of land for time tactics, and the vast Pacific Ocean for delaying Japan's attack time. The Americans even gave up Wake Island and Hawaii, and asked Japan to let Japan bear the unforgettable pain of the US military.
However, the Americans do not want to hand over these islands to Japan. In other words, if Japan takes these islands without bloodshed, it may threaten the US mainland in half a year. This is not the result that the US government wants to see.
So the American staff thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, that is, to deploy British troops in Australia to help the United States defend these islands until the United States finally produced a huge fleet to fight against Japan.
However, there is another fatal problem, that is, who will defend Australia? If Australia is ceded to Japan, it is not in the fundamental interests of the United States. So an insidious plan was launched to the front desk: pull the axis power into the water.
There are two French in the world at the same time, which is also the fundamental reason for the French battleship's power in the battle of Tobruk. Vichy France sent battleships to show its attitude because of the dispute in Somalia. This incident made the Americans suddenly think of a countermeasure, a countermeasure to turn the face of the German and the Japanese.
"Mr President, who will be responsible for Australia's defense? Do we want the British Empire to give Australia to the Japanese? " The British envoy was obviously very angry, he said, biting his teeth. Roosevelt shook his head, laughed and handed a plan to the British special envoy: "Australia is not going to give it to the Japanese, but to the British government in exchange. Australia will issue a statement declaring its obedience to the leadership of the Chamberlain government of Scotland."“ This... "The British special envoy was stunned, and then reacted instantly. This is obviously different from giving up Australia to Japan. The colony swayed back and forth between the two British governments, which could have been accepted by the British. It was absolutely different from the Japanese occupation of the colony. After thinking for more than ten seconds, he found that there was room to operate with Australia as bait. Once the operation is completed, the result is that Germany will ignore the magnificent trap of Australia's safety. If the Japanese do not dare to invade Australia, then a statement is worth 100000 soldiers. It is obvious that the Americans have taken advantage of it. If the Japanese really break into Australia, it is already a colony of Scotland and Britain. It has nothing to do with the Americans. It should be Scotland and Britain. Of course, Scotland and Britain do not have this ability, but the German standing behind Scotland must come forward and give his ally a statement. And Germany is good for the United States whether it is in charge or not. This move to retreat is absolutely a wonderful move, which can be called a rare diplomatic strategy in World War II. After weighing the pros and cons, the British royal family accepted the terms of the Americans. They ordered the removal of a large number of young Australians, and then asked the Australian government to announce a power on plan. On July 1, the Australian government announced that, for its own reasons, it recognized that it was still a colony of the British government in Scotland. A formal written document would be sent to Prime Minister Chamberlain's residence in a few days. The first colony in the world to recognize northern Britain was born. When the German government heard the news, it could only smile bitterly. Mr. Augustus had no choice but to hold a meeting of the imperial prime ministers to discuss how to deal with it. As a result, he could only passively accept Australia's accession to the axis system as a colony of northern Britain. This decision is also inspired by akkado. He thinks it's a thankless decision. It's better to make the best choice for himself. Now that Australia has posted it, there is no reason not to welcome it. As for the problems behind, let's leave them to the Japanese. Akkado also wants to know whether the flag of Germany, the leader of Europe, and the invincible skin of the third empire can frighten Japan as far away as Asia. On the same day that Australia announced its recognition of British rule in the north, Tobruk was occupied by Rommel. The Australian troops in Tobruk laid down their arms and surrendered, and even the rest of the British Indian troops gave up their resistance. Rommel won in North Africa and drove into Tobruk to personally review his African Legion. The axis powers were in the limelight for a while. Tobruk was captured in Africa, and Australia was subdued in the Pacific. It seems that Germany really has the momentum of dominating the world. Unfortunately, this momentum only lasted until July 15 and was completely broken by another country. On July 13, 1938, because of the loss of support, American troops withdrew from several fortresses in the Philippines, and 19000 US troops laid down their arms and surrendered to Japan. Japanese army troops occupied the Philippines and Malaysia in Southeast Asia. The long sharpened Japanese army did not stop its aggressive steps. Instead, it shocked the world to prove how ambitious the Japanese were. The Japanese Empire, together with puppet Manchuria and puppet Vietnam, declared war on the axis powers at one go and entered Australia at the same time. In the early morning of July 15, 1938, the German people who had only had a dream of world hegemony for more than ten days were awakened by the news that Japan invaded Australia, its ally, and declared war on Germany. They marched on the streets together and demanded that the Empire respond to the despicable Japanese idiots. In the early morning of July 16, 1938, the holy Third Reich of Germany, together with the kingdom of Italy, Vichy France, northern Britain, Ireland, Spain, Romania, Turkey and other countries declared war on Japan. A second World War unfamiliar to akkado broke out.
