After hearing the suggestion from the foot of the mountain, Ishihara nodded. He also felt that Japan had invested a lot of troops in all directions, which was too much. The long-term direction dispersed Japan's forces and made it unable to achieve victory in changing the war situation on every front.

"Mr. Yamashita, I think it's time to end the war in one or two strategic directions. Maybe we should talk to the Third Reich. Originally, we were members of the axis powers, but we had some misunderstandings about Australia." Without waiting to speak at the foot of the mountain, Ishihara said with a smile, "now the problem of Australia no longer exists. It's in the hands of the Americans. It's time to make peace with the Germans."

At the foot of the mountain, looking at the general in front of him, who is known as a wise general, I suddenly felt that it was too late to meet him. Those Japanese soldiers who are clamoring for the common prosperity of the Greater East Asia all day have little political mind, which makes Yamashita feel that it's torture to work with such a group of idiots. Now that he saw the rare Japanese generals who had the same political mind as himself, he directly expressed his ideas.

After a sip of sake, he said to the general of the Kwantung Army who rushed back to Mukden from the front line: "with all due respect, if we make peace with the Third Reich, we'd better start peace talks with both sides... In fact, just making peace with the axis powers can't change our declining situation in the Pacific battlefield... We'd better make peace with both sides at the same time, As long as we can make the world recognize our rule within the existing territory, we have won the war. "

Ishihara is very appreciative of Yamashita's proposal. He even thinks that it is not an impossible concession to spit out part of the occupied area. As long as we keep the occupied area in China, Japan will also transform into a world-class power in a few years. At that time, there will be another war to dominate the world. Japan will have more capital and a better hand than it is now.

So Ishihara nodded and said to Yamashita with approval: "in fact, I agree with you... Sometimes war can't solve all problems, especially when the whole country has fallen into the mire of war. It's time to take some other measures."

But he changed the subject and continued: "however, the Germans and Americans are in the upper hand. It is not easy to be sure whether they will let us end the war at will."

After hearing this, Yamashita laughed and said in a very confident tone: "Sir, this is the difference between the soldiers and our politicians. What you see is the apparent strengths and weaknesses, but what we see is more."

Speaking of this, there is a sense of endless talk. In the context of military action and almost stagnant diplomacy, he, a famous diplomat and politician, has been suppressed for a long time: "you know, general Ishihara, the Germans have no reason to fight any more. They have lost enough and they have gained enough, So they should be more willing to end the war with dignity. For the Far East members of the axis powers, appropriate and limited support is the main theme. "

He pointed to the map of the world hanging on the wall, drew his finger from the vast Pacific Ocean to the cold Atlantic Ocean, and then continued to say: "the United States and Germany are not allies, they also have battlefields with each other. Compared with the declining US, the threat of Germany in the Atlantic ocean is what the United States cares more about."

With these words, the mountain looked at Ishihara and said confidently, "well, now, general Ishihara, do you still think that we are inferior and have no chance to quit the war with dignity? Now I can tell you with great confidence that the United States and Germany, which force will make peace with us first, will defeat the other force and lose the world! "

At the foot of the mountain, Ishihara smiles. It seems that the great Japanese Empire, which has shown a declining trend on all fronts and has to withdraw from the war, has suddenly become a key force for both the two forces. Ishihara couldn't help nodding and agreed: "Mr. Yamashita, your words are worth 100000 troops."

In the eyes of Yamashita, a European affairs expert, although Japan has shown a declining trend on several fronts, it can still become an important bargaining chip for Germany and the United States through diplomatic operation. After hearing this statement, Ishihara immediately felt the correctness of this road. The best way for Japan is to find the right and left, stabilize its vested interests and withdraw from the war with dignity.

So the two men wrote a report of their ideas and sent them back to the base camp in China. Of course, they didn't hear from each other for ten days. So Ishihara still wanted to go back to the far east front. Similarly, he had no way to prevent the German army from transporting a whole armored division to the far east front slowly through the Far East Railway.

The house of the head of state, Berlin, Germany.

Akado listened with a smile to his staff and advisers, constantly promoting the benefits of uniting Japan and defeating the United States to end the war: "my head of state! Relying on the strength of Germany and the occupied areas, it is impossible to defeat the United States in a short time to end the war. At this stage of the war, it is time to consider the end of the war. It is undoubtedly the most economical and practical way to unite one of the forces and force the rest to compromise. "

"We have no essential conflict with Japan. As long as the Japanese pay a certain price to appease the mood of northern Britain, we can achieve peace between the two countries..." another politician said: "Australia is now dominated by the Americans and has little to do with Japan." Akado nodded, then put his hand on his desk and said slowly, "I don't want to continue the war, because everyone has earned enough. Isn't it? We have countless iron and steel plants, power plants, businesses, and even more industrial production projects... "He said these carelessly, but people familiar with the head of state all know that such a careless beginning often breeds a terrible storm. Krupp also has a few tycoons who look away wisely and even don't want to speak. They don't want to offend the head of state at this time. After all, Linus is still alive in a sense“ But who are you going to sell these products to? Where are they going? Promise a bunch of humiliating conditions, then pray to Japan for a short-term peace, and lose a large part of the Asian market, just to make the war end a few days earlier? " Asked akado, with a sneer. His eyes flashed over the politicians and businessmen who had just said they wanted to achieve peace as soon as possible. Everywhere he looked, everyone lowered his head in shame“ At such times, any attempt to woo Japan is an act of defecting to the enemy! Pull up a piece of garbage that has been defeated in four wars, and then throw away a large area of Asian land? We don't have to wait long, just 20 days! Let's see if the Americans will make peace with the Japanese! Unless Roosevelt is stupid, the Americans will not talk about peace to the Japanese! " Akado looked at his men and said out loud. Office of the president of the White House, Washington, USA. Roosevelt, sitting in a wheelchair, looked up at his men, and was saying the same words to akado: "gentlemen, if you want to win over Japan, you have to admit their vested interests in Asia. What can we win in the end after we have lost so many soldiers and gone through so many bloody battles?"“ Even if the Japanese finally spit out Southeast Asia, what can we get? On the Chinese side, will Japan compromise with us? " As if he was nagging, he kept asking questions, but unfortunately, none of these questions could be answered by his subordinates who proposed peace with Japan“ To win over Japan, but to retreat our ally China to Germany... To trade one for another. What more do we get after wasting time? Relying on Japan to consume Germany in the Far East? I'm kidding... As long as Germany arms 20 Chinese divisions casually, Japan will live on relief food. " Roosevelt sneered and looked at his men ironically“ What do we say to our ally China? Because we are going to compromise with Japan, most of your occupied areas will give up. As for other unequal treaties, just hold your nose and admit them Roosevelt looked at his men and asked in a voice that had begun to breathe“ Mr. President, have a drink and have a rest. I don't think you really want to make peace with Japan, just to ask if it is possible. After all, our opponent Germany does not have so many grudges between us and Japan, if they come together with Japan first... "His waiter gently advised Roosevelt while feeding him water. After drinking a mouthful of water, Roosevelt heard his waiter say so, waved his hand, and then looked at his subordinates. He slowly said, "gentlemen, I know you still don't believe what I said, but I'm very responsible to tell you that if the Germans are willing to accept a Japan that doesn't listen to the manipulation and give up the large Asian market, So it's worth fighting this war in the United States... At least, we didn't lose! " He continued with a pause: "if you don't believe it... We can wait! In 20 days, if the Germans make peace with Japan, I will stand up and never use my wheelchair—— Recommended friends novel: iron man, mercenary king, the tip of the knife licking blood, muzzle alive, in order to drink the strongest wine, on the most beautiful woman, highlight the true nature of men, "the strongest mercenary" you deserve to have!!!
