"My head of state, I don’t understand why the Japanese cabinet agreed to this plan. It is preparing to become an enemy of the whole of Europe and even the whole world. Are these Japanese going crazy?" General Busch’s perspective is very keen. Questions were immediately raised to Xu Jun.
"I agree with General Busch's opinion. This may be the intelligence released by the Japanese, a smog used to mislead us, because if it is true, it would be too stupid. If it is due to the suddenness of the war, short Some results may be achieved within time, just like the command deduced by the high command, but once the war is deadlocked, it will inevitably evolve into a war of attrition, and Japan cannot win the final victory.
What's more, we have learned of their plan, so that the suddenness of the war does not exist. "General William Liszt put forward his views. This army admiral has just returned from Italy. Standing beside him is the mountain soldier Lieutenant General Scherner who returned to Berlin on the same plane with him.
"This is a losing bet, my head of state." Seeing Xu Jun's gaze turned to him, Schoerner raised his chest and said loudly.
"Very good, very good, who else has the same opinion about this?" Xu Jun nodded in satisfaction, and turned his gaze to the marshals and generals on the other side of the map table.
"It seems that everyone's opinions are the same. I am very happy because I think so." Xu Jun waved his hand and prevented others from speaking. He turned around and walked to the map with one hand behind him, and the other Holding a slender pointer in one hand.
"Schelner is right. This is a gamble that must be lost." The head of the Empire slammed the map with a backhand.
"Maybe they still have a chance to win by three points before we know about it, but now, they don’t see any possibility of victory. But gentlemen, we have to pay attention to the problem we are seeing now The Japanese don’t know, and they don’t know about these issues. The Japanese have been trying to use their ancient mindset to interpret the world, and they spend most of their time in their dreams. Few Japanese The Japanese who can take a sober look at these strategic issues and think so are regarded as aliens and squeezed out by their own people. They are like us five years ago. Perhaps Blumberg and Loeb would The feeling is very deep."
Speaking of this, Xu Jun found that this question seemed a little sensitive. He clenched his fist and coughed in front of his mouth, giving everyone time to forget the above sentence.
"Well, I’m here to explain briefly to you, I believe you are full of doubts about this plan. First of all, I declare once again that the information we have obtained is accurate, not the smoke released by the Japanese, we The work of collecting intelligence on Japan started before the war began. The minutes of these cabinet meetings are only an appetizer. There is a problem with their mainland strategy. Although the Chiang Kai-shek government has been losing ground on the battlefield, China itself is vast. This is the strongest weapon to contain Japan’s power." Xu Jun pointed at the East China region on the map with his pointer.
"Our intelligence team in China is sending the latest intelligence to Berlin every day. China's battlefield situation has undergone a subtle change, and many theaters have fallen into a stalemate at the same time. Japan obviously needs time to digest these six months. The result obtained is not a task that can be completed in a short time.
Their forces are far from sufficient to complete the goal of fully occupying this land. At present, the Japanese army can only deploy garrisons in some key cities along roads, railways and river supply lines, and large areas of land outside the city actually do not accept them. Therefore, Japan hired a group of old Chinese bureaucrats and soldiers who took refuge in them and asked them to help them manage the occupied territories.
The Chinese Communist Party is armed. You should have seen reports about them in the newspapers, and you must already know them. The troops under their command launched flexible guerrilla warfare in the Japanese-occupied area of northern China, and contained a large number of mobile forces of the Japanese army. The materials that Japan consumes in such security operations every day are a human being compared to us. Surprised numbers.
Japan has exhausted the national power they have spent half a century to accumulate on the Chinese battlefield, and the war dividends obtained on the Chinese battlefield are only enough to barely maintain the daily operation of this war machine. Some intelligence confirms that if China's war situation fails to make breakthrough progress within a year, the Japanese government's national finances may face the threat of bankruptcy.
But for this war, Japan has already paid a great price. They cannot withdraw from the battlefield at this time, so no matter how expensive it is, they must fight this war to an end. "The head of state used his pointer to gesture between China and Japan on the map.
"The goal of Japan’s southward strategy is the precious resources that these colonies have. They now spend a lot of money every month to buy precious minerals and oil from the colonies. To be honest, we have also made money on this. A lot of money." Xu Jun paused when he said, and the generals and marshals laughed happily.
“But at present, the Japanese obviously don’t want to spend this money anymore. They are starting to think about using force to seize this area, and then use the cheap resources of these colonies to support them in the long war with China.” Xu Jun shook his pointer, and the marshals nodded neatly to express understanding.
"What the German Empire needs to do at present is to make the Japanese feel that Germany will support their actions. This is also the task I gave to Marshal Blumberg. For this reason, I also sent him a message. Letter from the Emperor of Japan. Gentlemen, you can now express your views." Xu Jun threw the pointer back to the staff and strode back to the map table.
"The head of state meant that we are not going to prevent Japan from encroaching on the colony, on the contrary, we must do our best to push them to implement this...south advancement plan?" Fu Shi asked puzzled.
"But I remember that our previous goal was to maintain the strategic balance in Asia and protect the interests of European countries in the Asian colonies. Will there be conflicts between these?" von Bok said nonsense.
"There is not the kind of conflict you think, your marshal, because the ultimate goal is the same. Japan is a huge threat to the world. What we are doing now is to resolve it at the least cost. This question." Yodel replied.
"I understand what you mean. This requires a good grasp of diplomacy and early communication with European countries." Paulus said loudly with hands on hips.
"What you said, the command has already begun, and these countries have expressed their full cooperation with our actions." Keitel said.
"I think I understand what the Führer said~ IndoMTL.com~ This is indeed a trap, a trap that allows the Japanese to jump in willingly. The premise is that he must feel safe. The support of the Third Reich is The guarantee to push them on this adventure." Manstein's eyes flashed with excitement.
"After getting the empire's tacit approval, they will be at ease to send supplies and troops to Siam." Yodel said.
"Once the plan is officially launched, they will only continue to invest their precious resources into this bottomless pit. At that time, no matter how the situation changes, they will not be able to turn back." Manstein Because of that.
"Their actions can only be carried out around this strategic plan, and we have obtained enough time to use the limited power in our hands to arrange a defensive line against this strategy." Yodel smiled triumphantly.
"Finally locked Japan in the South China Sea." The two generals uttered the same sentence at the same time, and immediately laughed happily.
"So what about the Siam issue?" Paulus raised his hand on one side: "Is the purpose of our attack on Siam the same?"
"If the armed forces of the Kingdom of Siam are not weakened as much as possible, they will not completely fall to Japan. The Prime Minister of Siam is an ambitious soldier, he will not be willing to become a puppet at the mercy of others." Kyle Te said with a sneer.
"After the prime minister lost the troops he had in hand, in order to maintain his status and power, he could only seek outside support."
"So he will fall to Japan?" Busch thoughtfully.
"Because this is the only choice he can make." The Chief of Staff said with his head held up.
