Chapter 1565： The Japanese who stayed behind

Slide 1565

"However, we may not have gained nothing in the south." Saiyuan Temple said after looking at the embarrassed Yamamoto Gonhei. "If the Germans are rational enough, then they should not follow in the footsteps of the Americans, because after this war is over, the United States will become the most powerful country, and its influence will extend from the Americas to the world. And for a long time, even Germany, as a victorious country, may not be able to match this kind of influence, so they should not weaken us excessively."

"Haha, are we going to please the Germans who are already enemies at this time? Why don't you say, let us join the Allied Powers directly?" There are friends in Shan County who sneered at Xiyuan Temple Gongwang's statement. To a certain extent, it is considered "surrender".

"Because we still need British pounds and French money! Moreover, Britain and France also don't want to see Americans dominate Central Asia!" Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said with a smile, not at all displeased by Shan County's accusations.

"But we always need to come up with something that Germans are interested in? Even if they don't want to see the United States dominate the Far East from a strategic point of view, we can't not pay the price." Yamamoto Quanhei said.

"This is indeed a problem. Once Germany acquires part of Russia's Eastern European territory, Germany's natural resource endowment will be greatly improved. Under this circumstance, it is really difficult for us to give an overweight that satisfies the Germans, but Even so, the Germans still lack two things, one is tin ore and non-ferrous metals, and the other is rubber. Therefore, if we are willing to share the resources in the East India region with Germany, they will probably be very willing." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang Said.

"This is far from enough. If the Dutch can get back the occupied territories, they can do better!" said Youpeng in Shan County.

"In fact, there is one more thing. We can give it. That is the market, the Philippines, and even the Northeast market!" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang squeezed this sentence from his teeth.

"What's a joke?! Don't say that we remove the tariff barrier. Even if the barrier is not high enough or strong enough, German goods with extremely high cost performance will run rampant here, squeezing us out. A colonial power cannot lose two things, one is raw materials. The place of production is the market! This is tantamount to killing us!" Yamamoto Quanhei said in shock.

"I don't want to do this, but we only have one chance to decide. If we estimate the situation wrong, then it will be forever for the Japanese Empire. This is the last step, and I don't want to go. So, if virtue is not If we are satisfied with taking back the former German colony in the Pacific region, then we can only hope that the resistance in Southeast Asia will allow the Americans to retreat!" Saiyuanji Gongwang said.

"The Russian civil war cannot be stopped in a short time, and our goal of marching north is limited, so don't worry. The key is to defend the colonies in Southeast Asia. The combined fleet cannot fight the German fleet head-on, but we can use submarines. For sneak attacks on the transportation fleets of the United States and Germany, the elite of the combined fleet should be concentrated in the Philippines. In this way, not only can it maintain a deterrent against the US fleet, but it can also identify opportunities to attack."

"As for the blockade of virtue, we can only rely on Britain and France to provide us with supplies as a neutral country, and also obtain supplies from the mainland through North Korea. If Britain and France are willing, we can fight a limited war with the Americans in Southeast Asia. If Britain and France refuse to help, then we can only come up with the last bargaining chip." Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

Up to now, the Japanese are still planning to fight. They are betting that the Germans will not do their best, and that Britain and France will not abandon Japan just after the war. At the same time, it is also betting that the Americans' tolerance for casualties is not high! Don't even think about naval battles. If the US-German fleet is always in a group, then Japan will not have any chance. Therefore, Japan's only idea is to fight a few land battles with the Americans on some important islands in East India!

"I have also thought about this question. Although there are many islands in the East Indies, there are not many of them that are really valuable. Sulawesi does not have a guarded value. Part of Java Island is still in the hands of the Dutch (the Japanese are implementing At that time, we did not abide by the agreement with the British, occupying a small part), the Americans can easily land and get help from the Dutch. What we want to keep is twice the result. There are only two places that really need to be guarded and must be guarded, one is The other island of Kalimantan is the western part of New Guinea!'

"I chose these two places for a reason. The islands of Kaliman and New Guinea are rich in resources. Petroleum, rubber, coal, gold, silver, copper, and various other non-ferrous metals are our indispensable resources. And Gary The northwestern part of Mantan Island is a British colony, and we can get supplies and help from here, while the southern part of New Guinea is Australia. Unless virtue encloses this 700,000 square kilometer island, we can always get something. , And this is really a battlefield for military strategists, we can't give up." Yamamoto Quanhei said.

"So, what if the Americans take the Philippines directly?" asked a friend from Shan County.

"It is unlikely The front here is too long. The Americans do not have the help of the British. The journey from Hawaii to New Guinea is already a long time, unless they completely control the area and establish a A complete base system, otherwise it is not advisable to jump directly to the Philippines, it is a dead end." Yamamoto Quanhei said.

Although the Americans’ island-hopping strategy in World War II is very NB, this is a battle... Many technical limitations make it too difficult for the United States to replicate the island-hopping tactics nowadays. Other than that, it is very difficult from the power of battleships alone. Battleship 2 burns oil and battle 1 burns coal.. ..... This is not just an issue of endurance, more importantly, it is more difficult to maintain coal-fired warships. Frequent coal filling and flue cleaning operations make the actual attendance rate of battleships not high. And don’t forget, the United States and Britain are allies in the 2nd World War. The Americans can get help from Australia, but now? The United States and Britain are almost non-declared enemies, and all American supplies must be transported from the mainland.

Of course, the most important thing is that in this era, the Americans did not directly violently violently kill the other side after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in history. Therefore, the Japanese estimated that there must be someone in the top Americans who wanted to kill Japan. , But the mainstream public opinion in American society definitely has no plans to enter a protracted war!
