The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1564: The Japanese who stayed behind

Slide 1564

After losing the former German Pacific Islands, the base of the US fleet can advance thousands of kilometers directly from Hawaii in the Pacific! It is even possible to deploy the base of the Pacific Fleet here. This is undoubtedly equivalent to putting a sharp blade on the waist of the Japanese. As long as the situation changes slightly, the Americans can easily cut off the East India and East India under Japanese control. This severance of the connection between the mainland has nothing to do with the battle of the large fleet! Just rely on submarines! Therefore, after abandoning the German East Indies, the strategic offensive on both sides was completely reversed!

"If this matter can be settled just by losing the former German Pacific colony, it is undoubtedly the best! However, I am afraid that virtue is not satisfied." Yamamoto Quanhei shook his head and said.

"None of this? What else do they want to do?!" Shanxian Youpeng suddenly raised his voice, the anger in his words was like an erupting volcano.

"Hehe, we and the Americans are mortal enemies, what do you say they want to do?" Gonbei Yamamoto glanced at each other and said. "If you can, I naturally hope that we will be killed!"

"I feel that the Germans are definitely not willing. After the war, Britain and France will inevitably weaken. They will focus on Europe. If the Far East does not have enough power to counter the United States, then European countries, whether it is Britain, France or Germany and Austria, will Affected. This is definitely not the result that Germans would like to see." Youpeng Shanxian said.

"Your Excellency Shanxian made sense. This is why we will not be killed. The Germans will keep their promises to help the United States get back the original German Pacific islands. Of course, this is not only because of promises and treaties, but more importantly. It is economic interest. We cannot resist this point, but it is hard to say whether we will work with the United States to force us to spit out the Dutch East Indies colony!" Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

"But even if we spit it out, the Americans have no reason to occupy it. We spit it out and return it to the Netherlands. If the United States and Germany dare to divide it up by themselves, then they will be notorious in international public opinion." When I said this, I obviously didn't expect Japan to be unclean!

"From the current situation, the Germans seem to have no territorial claim to the Far East, and considering the attitude of the Netherlands towards Germany, I think they are willing to obtain for their quasi allies through an action of defeating soldiers without a fight. Some interests, as for the Americans? I feel that they may not have territorial claims for this place either." Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

I have to say that Xiyuan Temple's gong looks at the problem is vicious! Americans may really do it once! In fact, compared with other capitalist powers, the Americans' requirements for territoriality after entering the 20th century do not seem to be so great. They are more concerned about economic interests and strategic considerations. After the end of the First World War, the United States and Japan When there was a dispute over the Pacific islands, the Americans played a seven-stroke punch and proposed a plan to return the German Pacific colony to Germany. Of course, this is just a proposal, not to mention Japan, even Britain and France would not agree to it.

But from this incident, we can see the attitude of the United States towards Japan, that is, I can not take advantage of it, but you must suffer... If you look at it from this perspective, the possibility of the United States doing so is very high! After all, it is obviously better for the Netherlands to control the East India region than Japan, and the Netherlands may have to come up with some benefits in order to thank the virtues! What's more, the Netherlands provided a lot of help to Germany in the war, (mainly in transit trade) Germany also needs to thank this little brother.

From this perspective, the military threat of the United States and Germany, and then the direct redistribution of the three colonies invaded by Japan is absolutely the best result. All three of you here believe that if you stand on the other side's perspective, this must be done. .

"Dutch East Indies and Germany are not the same islands in the Pacific. These areas are vast. If they want to occupy these areas, it is impossible to rely on the navy alone. They must rely on the army. The army means mass casualties, even if Germany The army is number one in the world, and they will never cross the oceans to fight in Southeast Asia again after experiencing the First World War. Not to mention, just the heat and malaria in Southeast Asia are enough for the Germans to bear.” Youpeng Shanxian said. .

You can’t be wrong when you say this in Shanxian County. After all, even the NB army can’t accept it. Malaria cannot be ignored by any army fighting in Southeast Asia, and quinine, the special medicine for malaria, is mainly produced here. So, this is embarrassing. Before there was no synthetic quinine, the Japanese controlled the main producing area of ​​this drug. Therefore, considering the special situation in tropical areas, this kind of non-combat attrition is even more terrible than combat attrition!

"If, when it comes time to use the army to drag the opponent to death, we have actually lost." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang shook his head helplessly. "Because at that time, our maritime communication lines should have been cut off by the United States and Germany, and even the best result of the combined fleet was to shrink in the Philippines or a certain port on the mainland. If there is a big fight, Virtue can withstand this loss, and no matter what the outcome, we will go back at least 10 years!"

"So it seems that this is an unsolvable situation? In that case, what are you looking for us to do? Isn't it about letting the empire prepare for fun, right?" Shanxian Youpeng said.

"It's not that ~lightnovelpub.net~ The worst result is that the empire's achievements in the southward advancement in the past two years have been in vain. If we abandon these two places, virtue will never force too much. The money is not enough for the Germans to do their best to fight us thousands of miles away, and Germany is not willing to let the United States dominate."

"There is an old saying in China, if we lose the east and harvest the mulberry, if our development in the south is doomed to fail, then we can also make up for it in the north. The defeat of Russia is also good news for us." After Gongwang Yuansi finished speaking, he looked at Youfriend in Xiangshan County.

"You mean, Waixinganling, Vladivostok, the entire Sakhalin island?" said Youpeng in Shanxian County.

"Yes, these areas are still useful, and we can't control them further north, and there are also chicken ribs. There is no meat and a taste." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang nodded and said.

"I've said that going north is more revealing than going south, and some people always like to be smart." Shanxian Youpeng's words are full of the tone of a winner.
