Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Sir Dill nodded happily and said with a smile: "That's good! That's good!"

With the success of German military operations, the ambitions of the Japanese government are also expanding.

In early September 1940, Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka publicly put forward the slogan of "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", and greatly expanded the scope of this "circle".

From the original "East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" including China and North Korea, it expanded to include India, Malaya, India, Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and all the islands in the Southwest Pacific.

At the beginning of October, the Japanese army began to invade and occupy Vietnam, entered Vietnam from Guangxi, China, and attacked the French army that prevented the Japanese army from moving, and then bombed the urban area of ​​Haiphong and landed on the beach.

Japan's outrageous move aroused the vigilance of the United Kingdom. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill ignored Japan's opposition and opened the Burma Road again.

The artery leading to the southwest of Huaxia has started to transfuse blood again.

On November 11, the Japanese government recognized the Wang Jingwei puppet regime established in Nanjing in April.

On the same day, the United States announced that it would provide China with a loan of [-] million U.S. dollars and [-] new fighter jets, and also allowed Americans to come to China to serve as voluntary pilots.

Hopkins came back from a circle in the Soviet Union. He told Roosevelt that we must assist the Soviet Union. The Soviet army's will to fight is still extremely strong, and they can hold back the German army on the battlefield.

Therefore, in mid-December 1940, Roosevelt and Churchill met in the Atlantic Ocean. The two finalized a plan to assist the Soviet Union, allowing the Soviet army to hold back the German army and buy time for Britain and the United States to prepare for war.

At this time, in order to continue to expand to the south, Japan also requested to set up a base in the southern part of French India, exerting pressure on the Vichy government through Germany, and at the same time pretending to occupy it by force to force it to agree to Japan's request.

Britain, the United States, the Netherlands and other countries regarded this situation as the first step of Japan's southward invasion. As a warning, they froze Japanese assets and began to completely ban the export of oil and scrap iron to Japan. Japan's hostility was a foregone conclusion.

Imperial Palace, Tokyo, Japan.

Army Chief of Staff Kanin Miyazaihito, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Minister of the Army Hata Toshiroku, Navy Commander Fushimi Miya Hirakashi, Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yonei, Minister of Foreign Affairs Yosuke Matsuoka and other ministers were all present.

Hirohito's sharp eyes swept over everyone's faces, and then he said loudly: "Gentlemen, the German army once again wiped out more than 60 Soviet Red Army in the Vyazma area, occupied the periphery of Moscow, and destroyed several Soviet defense lines.

The Soviet Union has been seriously injured, and it is no match for the German army. If there are no accidents, Moscow will fall this winter, and the demise of the Soviet Union will be just around the corner! "

"Your Majesty, if the empire sends troops to the Far East to attack the Soviet Union on both sides at this time, it will definitely speed up the demise of the Soviet Union!"

Just when Hirohito was about to get to the point, Minai Mitsumasa suddenly said in a discordant voice:

"In this way, the empire can not only obtain abundant oil resources, but also the heavy military group stationed in Manchuria can also send troops to Southeast Asia, bringing the whole of Southeast Asia into the Empire's Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. At the same time, the domestic burden can be greatly reduced, and there is no need to mobilize a large number of reserves. Go to war."

Chapter 712

The dispute between going north and going south in Japan has been going on for many years. Although the mainstream consciousness has been inclined to go south, there are still many high-level Japanese who oppose going south.

Among them are Yamamoto 56, Ishihara Kanji, Konoe Fumimaro, etc. They are worried that a war with the world's largest industrial power whose economic strength has exploded will cause Japan to completely go nowhere.

As the Minister of the Navy, Minai Mitsumasa is really not confident. He is very worried that after the war with the United States, the Japanese Navy will suffer a catastrophe.

In this case, being a polished commander is still secondary, and being a prisoner is what Minai Mitsumasa fears most.

Mitsumasa Yonei, who had a strong desire to survive, still strongly advocated sending troops to the Far East at this time, because only in this way, he would not send troops to Southeast Asia in the short term, and the Japanese navy would not have to go to war with the powerful United States now.

"Baga! Send troops to the Far East to attack the Soviet Union. Even if the Soviet Union is really destroyed, how much benefit can the empire gain?"

However, Hirohito had already made up his mind to send troops to Southeast Asia, how could he hear such noise, and immediately reprimanded him in a cold tone:

"Germany is very powerful, and it is indeed a great thing to have such a strong ally at this stage, but you have to remember that the Reich and Germany are allies, not affiliations.

There are only eternal interests between countries. Being an ally today does not mean that you will always be an ally in the future, so no matter when and where the interests of the empire must be put first! "

After a pause, Hirohito continued to instruct:

"Once Germany annexes the Soviet Union, Germany will gain vast land, a large population, and abundant war resources.

Relying on Germany's profound industrial background and science and technology, Germany will become the number one power in the world in a short time.

At that time, it will be unknown whether Germany will continue to maintain an ally relationship with the Empire. If that is the case, do you still think it is a good thing to help Germany destroy the Soviet Union?

Therefore, the best result is to make both the Soviet Union and Germany lose, not to help Germany reach the top and become the number one power! "

Minei Guangzheng nodded with shame on his face: "Hayi! I'm stupid, I know I'm wrong!"

However, Hirohito was still angry and said angrily: "The United States has completely banned the export of imperial oil, and has also set up checkpoints in the waters of Malacca to prevent oil tankers from other countries from entering Japan.

Our oil reserves are only enough for 10 months. If the oil problem cannot be solved quickly, the empire's planes, tanks, and cars will not be able to operate, and the warships will only be able to dock at the harbor. This will be an unimaginable disaster for the empire!

The United States is really deceiving people. I don’t know how much gold and silver they have obtained from the empire over the years, but their greedy desires cannot be satisfied at all, and they don’t pay attention to friendship at all. They always use oil, rubber, steel and other war resources as threats. , in a vain attempt to make the Great Japanese Empire submit to obedience.

How long do you want to live in such a suffocating life? How can the majestic Japanese Empire beg for mercy from the Americans and let them be slaughtered? "

The more Hirohito talked, the more angry he was, the feeling of being strangled by others was really bad. He tried every means to search for wealth everywhere, but most of it fell into the pockets of Americans!

Hearing Hirohito's increasingly high-pitched voice, Minai Mitsumasa knew that he had stabbed a hornet's nest today, and was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground and begged for forgiveness: "Your Majesty, I have let Your Majesty down because of my stupidity!"

"Yo Xi!"

Hirohito's complexion eased, he turned his head to look at Hideki Tojo and said: "Recently, the United States has noticed the movement of the empire, not only increased sanctions, but also promulgated the Lend-Lease Act, which is obviously a warning and defense against the empire!

Therefore, civil war mobilization must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Don't make it too obvious. Just follow the steps of routine drills in previous years. "

"Hay."

Hideki Tojo paused and said: "Please rest assured His Majesty the Emperor, everything is under control."

"Yo Xi!"

Hirohito nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yosuke Matsuoka and said, "Don't stop the US negotiations, and send higher-level officials to have serious talks with the Americans!

We must convince the Americans that the empire has enough sincerity. The goal of the empire lies in the Soviet Union and not in Southeast Asia. The empire does not have enough strength and courage to go to war with Britain and the United States. The empire cannot do without their oil and steel!

At the same time, it was clearly told to the Soviet Union that the Empire has no plans to send troops to the Far East now, and it will never have any plans in the future, so that the Soviet Union can safely draw out the Far East defenders to fight the Germans to the death. "

"Hayi! I will fulfill my mission!"

Matsuoka Hiroyuki nodded heavily.

Dongxing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, Zhucheng County, Shandong Province.

After a month of full-scale construction and production commissioning, Dongxing Aircraft Manufacturing Plant can finally be officially put into operation.

And those two American experts naturally retired at this moment, and they found an excuse to leave this world.

Today, the Dongxing Aircraft Manufacturing Plant was officially put into operation. As the supreme leader, Yang Fan naturally had to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Due to confidentiality requirements, there were no journalists from other newspapers in today's ribbon-cutting ceremony except military newspaper reporters, and the guests present were all important party, government and military officials within the system.

After a set of grand and enthusiastic procedures, it was already [-] o'clock in the morning. Yang Fan did not leave directly, but visited the aircraft factory with great interest, accompanied by the factory director Mao Weifeng, chief engineer Wang Yongchen and others.

The area directly under the jurisdiction of Dongxing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is as high as 30 square kilometers. Two infantry regiments are responsible for daily security on the outside, and the internal defense is jointly in charge of the security department of the factory and the gendarmerie.

The entire factory area implements militarized closed management. In addition to the necessary building facilities such as administrative office buildings, R&D laboratories, production workshops, and warehouses, dormitory buildings, canteens, bathhouses, cinemas, sports fields, swimming pools, gymnasiums, supermarkets, and other supporting facilities Everything is available.

It took more than an hour to go around casually, and then taking advantage of the interest, Yang Fan held an impromptu high-level management meeting of the factory, emphasizing important matters such as confidentiality system, safe production, quality management, and personnel management.

"Okay, that's it for today!"

After talking eloquently for another hour, Yang Fan finally ended the meeting, and finally told the factory director Mao Weifeng and chief engineer Wang Yongchen:

"The current world situation is getting more and more severe, and the Japanese devils will soon make a big move. Whether they send troops to the Far East to attack the Soviet Union, or attack Southeast Asia with all their eggs in one basket, for us, it will only be a mixed blessing.

Because if the Soviet Union is destroyed, Japan and Germany will be connected together, China will face an unprecedented survival crisis, and if the devils sweep Southeast Asia, they will gain abundant war resources.

Therefore, the responsibility of the aircraft manufacturer is no less than that of the frontline officers and soldiers. They must be efficient and high-energy at all times. As long as you build one more fighter jet, it means that the Air Force will grow stronger! "

Chapter 713 Emergency Telegram

Mao Weifeng and Wang Yongchen quickly stood up and nodded to Yang Fan: "Please rest assured, the chief, we will do our best to ensure the full-speed and efficient operation of the factory, and contribute all our strength to the Anti-Japanese War and national independence and liberation."

"very good!"

Yang Fan nodded, and said to Wang Yongchen: "You are a top student at MIT, I hope that in addition to solving the daily engineering problems of the aircraft factory, you can spare part of your energy to innovate and develop new models.

Although the current aircraft production line is considered top-notch in the world, the aircraft industry is never-ending, and if we do not make progress, we will easily be left behind by others.

Although our industrial manufacturing foundation is very weak, not comparable to industrial powers such as the United States, Britain, Germany, and Japan, we have a large number of outstanding professionals and extremely superior hardware conditions.

At the same time, I will do my best to collect various advanced technical materials for you, and create excellent research and development test conditions for you!

Therefore, I have reason to believe that everyone will work together and not be afraid of difficulties, and will eventually form their own strong R&D team and develop advanced aircraft ahead of the world! "

"Dedicate yourself to death and die, and never dare to live up to the high expectations and cultivation of the chief!"

Wang Yongchen's blood boiled when he heard it. Two years ago in the United States, he was just a poor student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Later, at the invitation of Meng Wu'an, he moved his family to Gaomi.

When he arrived in Gaomi, Wang Yongchen discovered that the impoverished and backward Chinese country in his impression had such a magical land. The appearance of a modern city is not much worse than that of the United States.

Later, when Wang Yongchen came into contact with advanced books and equipment that even the United States did not have, he was even more shocked, and the only trace of pride in his heart was completely obliterated.

After two years of painstaking research and work practice, now Wang Yongchen has been reborn. He is no longer the self-important college student two years ago, but has become a mature, stable and skilled chief engineer.

At the same time, a large number of young talents with similar experiences to Wang Yongchen were recruited by Yang Fan. After careful cultivation and training, they all grew into technical backbones and management backbones, and they went to all walks of life!

"Okay, I won't waste everyone's time, what should I do!"

After finishing the business, Yang Fan didn't stay long, and flew back to Gaomi directly by helicopter.

"Report to the chief, there is an urgent message from the United States!"

As soon as Yang Fan got off the helicopter, Wu Juan trotted to Yang Fan with a telegram.

Yang Fan glanced at the little wife who had regained her beautiful figure with a smile, and asked with a smile, "What's going on? You're in such a hurry!"

Wu Juan quickly replied: "Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka arrived in Washington DC today and had a 3-hour negotiation with President Roosevelt!

The content of the negotiation between the two parties is unknown at present, and Meng Wuan is sending people to spy on the information!

But Meng Wuan also mentioned, "

As Yang Fan had ordered, Wu Juan could only grasp the code and translate the information from the United States, so she could only send the information in person.

"Oh?"

Yang Fan took the telegram and looked down, smiled and shook his head for a minute and said: "The Japanese devils are playing Mingxiu Plank Road to secretly hide Chen Cang. It seems that the Yankees are going to be severely tricked by the devils!"

On the surface, this information really looks like a little devil who is afraid of the sanctions and warnings from the United States and urgently dispatches the foreign minister to negotiate in person, but Yang Fan is relieved instead.

Because in the original history, the Japanese confuse the Americans in this way, and because the Japanese ambassador to the United States submitted the declaration of war a few hours late, it really hammered Japan's despicable sneak attack!

Wu Juan asked with some puzzlement: "Boss, do you mean that the Japanese will send troops to Southeast Asia soon, and even attack Luzon Island where the United States is stationed?"

"That's right, according to my judgment, it is a foregone conclusion that the Japanese army will send troops to Southeast Asia, and it will not take more than half a month."

Yang Fan nodded, and then explained with a smile: "After the German army advanced to the outskirts of Moscow, it wiped out more than 60 Soviet troops again, but the cold season made it difficult for Germany to attack, and now a stalemate has formed.

The Soviet Union has no time to look east. Although the United States and Britain claim to provide assistance to the Soviet Union on the surface, there is no reality at present!

So this time is the best time for Japan to send troops to Southeast Asia! "

The historical trajectory has shifted, and Yang Fan can no longer clearly know the time of Japan's action, but he can still smell it keenly.

"Ah, is this day really coming? But fortunately, Little Japan didn't attack the Soviet Union, otherwise we would have had a hard time!"

Wu Juan sighed softly. She heard Yang Fan mention these things in a chat a long time ago. At that time, she always felt that it was far away, but now everything has gradually become a reality.

After a pause, Wu Juan then asked: "Then what do we need to do? Should we remind the Nationalist government, or let the Americans take precautions?"

Wu Juan said this not because she was worried about the country and the world, but because she was afraid that the devils would go too smoothly. Not only did she not suffer serious consumption due to the expansion of the scale of the war, but the bonuses from the war quickly inflated.

"No, let's wait and see what happens, and just do our own thing! It's better to ask yourself than to ask others. Let's not rely too much on external forces!"

Yang Fan shook his head, the butterfly effect has changed the course of history, the world in front of him is no longer the one he knows well, it is really inappropriate to intervene indiscriminately at this time, otherwise the ghost knows what chain reaction will happen!

Wu Juan nodded and said, "I understand!"

Yang Fan continued: "By the way, how is the evacuation of overseas Chinese in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia going?

Especially in Singapore, we must let those patriotic overseas Chinese evacuate to the United States, so that they can dispel their worries, and everything will be taken care of after they arrive in the United States.

Anyway, don't stay where you are, because within half a year most of Southeast Asia will fall, and no area can be avoided. "

Among other things, after the Japanese occupation of Singapore, they systematically targeted the local Chinese for ethnic cleansing, creating the inhumane Singapore massacre.

Yang Fan does not want these patriotic overseas Chinese who have made great efforts in the war of resistance to die tragically under the butcher's knife of the Japanese!

At the same time, Yang Fan hopes that after the end of World War II, these overseas Chinese will be able to return to Singapore to complete the war of liberation and independence against Singapore, and make Singapore an overseas enclave of China!

Wu Juan replied: "I started working according to your instructions half a month ago. The evacuation work is in progress. There should be no problems. We sent special service members so early, and we have our own international ships."

Yang Fan said with a serious tone: "Tell our people to be polite first and then to fight. If they don't want to leave, they will use coercive means. Anyway, everyone on the list must be brought to the United States."

As the saying goes, a broken family is worth ten thousand yuan. Most of those overseas Chinese have already established deep roots in the local area. It is really not easy to leave, especially when they are still thinking about luck.
