Since this period of time, Cyric has been commanding the war on the Eastern Front, and has not paid special attention to the Far East.
Recently, in the Far East, the progress of the island countries looks good on the surface.
They defeated their opponents in the Coral Sea battle. Although they had losses themselves, they killed two American aircraft carriers.
But after that, they didn't have any decent record. Their planned sneak attack on Midway Island has never been carried out.
The reason is hard to tell, the conflict between the navy and the army.
The Navy hopes to continue to attack Midway Island and completely destroy the US Pacific Fleet. Once the American war machine is activated, it is really terrible. The American Navy has suffered huge losses in Pearl Harbor, but the US shipyard continues to build rapidly. The warship quickly re-armed the Pacific Fleet.
They want to continue bombing, and Midway Island is their inevitable target.
However, the Army disagreed. The Army hopes to continue to advance south. Southeast Asia and Australia are targets that the Army cannot wait to occupy quickly.
The two sides were in constant disputes. Under this circumstance, there was a compromise plan. The navy allocated a part of its forces and carried out a strategy of southward advancement to capture Southeast Asia and Australia.
In this way, the remaining ships of the Navy will not be enough.
(Historically, the failure of the naval battle on Midway Island was also due to this. I couldn't do my best and was divided by the southward plan.)
But now, people from the island country are obviously related to this aspect.
"My dear, you continue to bask in the sun here." Sirikla said with his wife's hand, and kissed her gently on the cheek.
Hannah showed a knowing smile and her eyes were full of happiness. Although she was an old husband and wife, she still felt like first love. This feeling is really wonderful.
Cyric left the terrace and came to the meeting room. As soon as he entered the door, several islanders stood up and welcomed him.
"Head of Cyric, it's nice to meet you, please take care of me." It was the person Cyric had met several times before, Pheasant Fifty-Six.
(Keep it consistent, for the same reason, just to avoid taboos.)
As the head of the island nation’s navy, Pheasant Fifty-Six was very beautiful during this period. After he won the Pearl Harbor battle, he was already the most famous warlord in the island nation. Now, his face is It was full of strange expressions, excitement, anticipation, and anxiety. At this time, his mood was written on his face.
"Sit down, what can we help?" Cyric said.
Now, Germany has occupied the whole of Europe and is also engaged in the process of European integration. The Axis powers have been greatly expanded and become the European Union. While doing all this, Cyrek secretly rejected the island nations. of.
It can be said that the island countries can get some benefits from Germany, but the relationship between the two sides is not always allies, which seems to imply something. Of course, the current islanders would not consider those.
There are only tacticians in island countries, not strategists at all.
A few people sat down, Pheasant Fifty-Six knew Cyrek’s character, so there was not much greeting. After thanking Germany for helping the island country and letting the island country win the naval battle, he immediately cut to the topic.
"Just a few months ago, after we bombed Pearl Harbor, the Americans actually used aircraft carriers to carry bombers and bombed our Tokyo. Although it didn't cause much damage, the shock was huge for us. "Pheasant Fifty-Six said.
"So, if we want to avoid this situation, we need to have a suitable foothold in the Pacific. This time, we not only have to meet the mission goal of bombing the US fleet, we have to land and fight, we have to step on. Midway Island, turning it into a sea base for us, from there, we can radiate to the entire Pacific Ocean."
Compared with the history, the goal of the island navy is more radical. They want to obtain a naval base on Midway Island!
In this way, the navy of the island nation can cruise in the Pacific, can block any US warships attempting to sail in the Pacific, and can even take off bombers from Midway Island and easily bomb the west coast of the United States, exploding those shipyards to a sparse amount.
The island navy can’t wait.
Midway Island is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 2100 kilometers northwest of Honolulu. It belongs to the Polynesian Islands. It is an unincorporated territory of the United States. It occupies here and radiates to the entire Pacific Ocean. This is the lofty ideal of the island navy.
If the navy of the island nation can occupy this place, then there is no need to fear the threat of the US fleet anymore and conquer Southeast Asia with confidence and boldness.
"So, we want to lease your landing ship." Pheasant Fifty-Six stated his goal this time: "We lack large ocean-going landing ships, and you now have a large number of landing ships. Before your landing in the United States, can you lease the landing ship to us?"
In the past few years, in order to achieve the purpose of cross-sea landing in the UK, Germany built a batch of 4,000-ton tank landing ships Some of them were built in Spain. These tank landing ships were in the battle that year. , And indeed played a role.
After that, Germany didn't need these landing ships to fight for the time being. Germany made a false shot. When everyone thought that Germany was going to attack the United States, it suddenly went to fight the Soviet Union.
Before the Soviet Union was defeated, Germany didn't need a landing ship. So, just rent a German landing ship. Isn't this the best of both worlds?
Indeed, for island countries, it has the best of both worlds, but what are the benefits for Germany? Self-denial is not the thinking of leaders.
When Pheasant Fifty-Six said so, Cyric frowned, of course not! What if these landing ships suffer losses in the course of combat?
Empty glove white wolf, what if they don't return the equipment?
In the past, to help them fight Pearl Harbor, Germany only sent a commander to assist in the command. Now, the islanders actually want to borrow equipment?
Seeing Cyric's expression, the people from the island nations at the scene knew it was not good. If they could not exchange enough benefits, the Germans would not agree.
Fortunately, they have hole cards.
If you want Germany to help, they must of course have enough sincerity. Pheasant Fifty-Six continued: "We are willing to find a suitable port among the four northern islands in the north of Hokkaido and lease it to you as your party. Submarine base."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present was stunned. Even Cyric felt that there was a tumble in his mind, and the islanders, who had always wanted to expand their territory, could actually give up their sovereignty and take a port. Loan to yourself?
Moreover, it happens to be what you like. ()
