Chapter 2472： Ten final preparations for the Japanese

? But it may be because the conditions given by the Japanese are not enough, it may be because the United States and Germany still need to use each other, and it may be because Germany estimates its international reputation. Therefore, the final result is that Germany did not give Japan a chance for peace talks at all, and it came directly!

If it is fundamental, the direct cause of Japan's current situation is the original southward plan. The Japanese navy is now in vain to attack the Japanese army's air consumption rate, but in fact, the Japanese navy is the root cause of Japan's current strategic passiveness. Of course, this kind of thing is unclear. After all, even if there is no southward move, who can guarantee that after the victory of the Allies, virtue will not act on Japan? After all, Japan is a member of the Allied Powers, and the Germans have too many reasons to act on Japan! Whether it is for the sake of lining or saving face!

Needless to say, although Germany does not have a colony and military power in the Far East, Germany also values ​​the economic interests of the Far East. For the Japanese to be more "acquainted", Germany naturally needs to beat Japan, and Japan has excluded the navy and army from participating in the war. As a victorious country, Germany can't claim some war reparations from Japan after the war, right?

As for face? This clarification point is that those who violate our German Empire will be punishable even if they are far away! The relationship between Japan and Germany has always been bad, but Germany has never been able to spare enough power to deal with Japan, which is thousands of miles away. The Germans believe that because of geographical restrictions, the Japanese may make a misjudgment. I think that Japan is far away from Germany so there is no need to worry about this superpower.

And now, Germany is drawing its sword around, and Europe has no enemies worth fighting. Well, now there are Americans who are willing to pay and beat Japan with Germany. Why did Germany participate?

From a purely strategic point of view, Japan’s southward strategy has actually failed. But if you fail, it doesn't mean you can withdraw and not play! There are many things in the world that cannot be stopped once they start, or when to stop is not your decision. Do you say you don’t want to play? Have you ever asked an American? Did the Germans agree?

Therefore, even if Germany will not let Japan completely die, the long-term confrontation between the United States and Japan in the former Dutch East Indies will become inevitable. This incident is definitely not a good thing for Japan. It is like the United States, a long-standing enemy, aiming a knife at Japan’s fragile abdomen. People may stab it at any time. Does Japan dare to relax? Obviously dare not! The prolonged military confrontation and competition are definitely a huge loss to national power, and because of the strong enemy on the side, most of Japan's power is limited, and there is no other strategic direction to choose.

Therefore, although Japan now supports the deployment of most of its military power in the Pacific, it does not mean that the Japanese high-level officials have no opinion on the behavior of the navy... And if after this war is over, some people in the Japanese government, with the support of the veterans and the army, prepare to liquidate the navy, then the future status of the Japanese navy will be terrible. You know, if the Japanese naval forces want to attack each other, they will never be cruel... Yamamoto Kwonbei was calculated by friends from Shan County!

What the Japanese navy worries most is that after the war, Japan declared war to suspend its southward strategy, and then the army will dominate Japan’s military operations. This is no different from the domestic political Waterloo for the navy... Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of the current US and German forces to suppress the border, the Japanese Navy must gain military and political advantages as much as possible, and then fight the Pacific War, strive to vomit less, and then prove the value and correctness of the southward advance.

Is it valuable to go south? There must be some. Even though some places must be spit out, one thing is certain is that as long as Kalimantan Island can be preserved, then Japan's gains in this war will be far greater than those in the Philippines. Several times bigger! After all, there are a lot of mineral resources, agricultural products and natural rubber. The most important thing is the oil that Japan is in short supply! The largest oil field in the entire Far East! As long as there is Kalimantan Island, then Japan is a self-sufficient country, which is of great strategic significance to Japan.

And if you can maintain your military presence in the former Dutch East Indies, then in the future, even if there is American pressure, the United States and Britain can still rely on each other’s colonies to form a solid front to resist future American pressure. . Kalimantan is Japan's last bottom line, and it must be desperately persisted. Because this is not only related to economic interests, but also related to the overall strategic situation of Japan in the future.

Well, just imagine, what if Japan loses Kalimantan? If this bottom line is broken, then Japan's strategic territory will return to the level before World War I, that is, the southern border is the Philippines. Geographically, the direct link between Britain and Japan was severed. This is not only because there is a gap that is difficult to bridge in the future Anglo-Japanese alliance in the Far East, but more importantly, the United Kingdom will reassess the value of Japan!

If the previous Anglo-Japanese alliance was the need of both parties and the only choice, it is not necessarily the case now. One of the important reasons why the current Anglo-Japanese alliance can be maintained is that Japan has the ability to destroy the British colony in the Far East... .... In other words, to some extent, it is now Japan who is forcing Britain to maintain the current alliance relationship! And if Japan loses Kalimantan Island, then the direct result is to maintain a certain distance from the British colony, and in this way, Japan's threat to Britain will be greatly reduced! At this time, Britain has the opportunity to reconsider its diplomatic strategy. Should it continue to maintain the Anglo-Japanese alliance? Or take the middle course? Or come together with the Americans to deal with Japan? The latter two results are very difficult for Japan to accept!

The convoy quickly arrived at the official residence of Saienji Gongwang and just as Yamamoto Gonhei and Shimamura Hayao were about to enter, an attendant suddenly walked out of the courtyard and whispered in Yamamoto Gonho's ear. Muttered a few words.

"What's wrong?" Shimamura Hayao asked.

"Teauchi Masaichi is here, it seems that today is the time for a showdown." Yamamoto Quanhei said.

"It's a bit early. We still have a lot of things to prepare. Saiyuanji Gongwang may also have some other thoughts." Shimura Hayao smelled something strange from it.

"Well, let's not talk about those, we always have to learn to face some special situations, although the situation has changed, but the overall situation is still beneficial to us." Yamamoto Quanhei walked in first after speaking.
