Okinawa, the base camp of Operation Downfall.

"General, general......"

Colonel Layton, the chief intelligence officer, rushed into the headquarters of five-star General MacArthur.

Such a rude action attracted the attention of many senior officers in the base camp, and everyone started talking about it.

MacArthur did not dwell on Colonel Layton's gaffe. He seemed to have thought of something and took the initiative to grab Colonel Layton's hand to help him stand firm.

Colonel Layton took a sharp breath and said quickly:

"The bandit war has begun in mid-summer, and we are preparing to enter the Kitakyushu region of Japan."

MacArthur, who had just walked into the office, was stunned. He murmured unconsciously:

"How come it's so fast?"

Colonel Layton continued to report:

"Judging from the intelligence we have received, Zhongxia has organized at least 4,000 warships, 4,000 aircraft, and 600,000 troops for this landing operation!"

"The firepower of the sea and air is unprecedentedly powerful, and the Japanese simply cannot stop it."

MacArthur walked back to his desk with heavy steps, sat down and said:

"Inform all senior generals to come over for a meeting, immediately, immediately!"

"Yes, General!"

Not long after, Nimitz, Spruance, General Stilwell and others all rushed to the base camp conference room.

Colonel Layton was the host of the meeting. He took the lead in telling the generals about the landing operations in Zhongxia.

After listening, everyone lamented that the Zhongxia people were too fast.

After all, the Allies will need at least another week to complete preparations for the second phase of Operation Downfall.

At the end of the military briefing, Colonel Layton said:

"The Zhongxia people will definitely be able to successfully land in Japan!"

"After landing, the situation will undergo other changes. We must prepare in advance!"

MacArthur and Nimitz looked at each other, and the latter looked at General Stilwell and asked:

"Washington has agreed to our combat plan. When can we launch a landing at the earliest?"

General Stilwell was also shocked by the rapid actions of the Jiangdong and Zhongxia armies. He thought for a while and then said:

"At present, the main participating troops have arrived in Okinawa, but they still lack sufficient land, sea and air firepower!"

"Everything will be ready in a week at the latest and in five days at the fastest!"

Although MacArthur was anxious, landing in Japan was a very serious matter, and he had to be cautious, saying:

"The intelligence department continues to pay attention to the gangster operations in Zhongxia, and other departments should seize the time to prepare for the landing!"

…………

London.

When the news of the mid-summer invasion of Japan reached here, Allied Commander-in-Chief General Eisenhower had just fallen asleep for two hours.

The first person the staff members woke up was their chief of staff. After reading the intelligence, the chief of staff immediately decided to wake Eisenhower.

Eisenhower, wearing pajamas, quickly read the telegram in his hand with a calm expression.

The chief of staff waited for Eisenhower to ask about the specific situation, but Eisenhower did not pay attention to the content of the telegram, but asked:

"Has Great Britain received the same message?"

The chief of staff nodded.

Eisenhower asked again:

"Where is the Zhongxia people's fleet?"

He was referring to the First and Second Expeditionary Fleets of Zhongxia.

The chief of staff immediately replied:

"The First Expeditionary Fleet has left the Norwegian waters and seems to be planning to retreat towards the Soviet Union."

"The Second Expeditionary Fleet left the Mediterranean and headed to the Djibouti base for supplies!"

Eisenhower returned the telegram to his chief of staff and said:

"Continue to pay attention to the development of the situation, that's all."

After the chief of staff left, Eisenhower turned off the lights and lay back on the bed.

As the supreme commander of the Allied forces on the Western Front, he was very aware of the impact that the mid-summer landing on Japan would have on the entire world situation.

He didn't fall asleep after closing his eyes, his brain was running rapidly.

Although Japan has prepared a crazy plan of 100 million pieces of jade, the disparity in strength between the two sides makes it difficult for Japan to persist until the second half of next year.

After the victory in the Eastern battlefield, based on the foreign policy of the new government, the Central Xia army will definitely march westward without hesitation.

This is a good opportunity to directly insert power into the core area of ​​imperialism, and the new leader will not miss it.

Everyone can see that Zhongxia is working hard to expand its global influence.

There have been some secret agreements within the Allies, requiring them to curb the growth of the East while fighting fascism.

Eisenhauer, who was accustomed to looking at things from a global perspective, stayed up all night.

..

The loving fathers of Moscow, Vasilevsky, Zhukov and others were also awakened.

Zhongxia's actions were very decisive and even revealed a domineering attitude that could not be violated.

The strength of its military has reached a new level, as has the self-confidence of its officers and soldiers.

Japan once caused the great Soviet Union to almost fall into a two-front war situation. Moscow has a better understanding of the fighting style of Japanese soldiers and the strength of the country.

It has only been a few years, and the enemy has already landed on our homeland. It is a complete defeat.

After solving the Japanese, a serious enemy of the war, China's support for the Eastern Front battlefield will definitely increase.

By then the situation is likely to be beyond the control of the Supreme Command.

My loving father vaguely knew that the Central Xia Special Forces were supporting the Resistance Army in Eastern Europe and cultivating some anti-Soviet forces.

These things were just speculation, but he felt very uneasy in his heart.

"Comrade Vasilevsky, when can we regain Leningrad?" the loving father asked.

Vasilevsky replied:

"The Red Army and the Nazis are currently engaged in fierce street fighting, but the enemy's decline has become apparent. Comrade Stalin will definitely be able to recapture Leningrad in 10 days at most."

The loving father's face was hidden in the smoke, and he continued to ask:

"Comrade Zhukov, what do you think of the center counterattack plan proposed by the Chinese people?"

Zhukov thought for a moment and replied:

"The Central Xia people proposed a counterattack from the middle at this time. I think they wanted to completely stabilize the situation before the severe cold came and live a relatively stable winter."

"After all, it is difficult for the Central Xia people to withstand the cold winter of the Soviet Union. Their lethality is much greater than that of the Third Reich's army."

My loving father agreed with this statement,

"Winter is our close comrade-in-arms. Both the Chinese and the Nazis are very afraid of it, but the Red Army soldiers are not afraid!"

Zhukov nodded:

"I agree with the Zhongxia people's counterattack plan. After the real severe cold comes, the great people will continue to attack the Nazis based on the results of the counterattack!"

"Very good! Very good!" The loving father's face appeared from the smoke,

"We are the masters of this world and we must show the power of the great Soviet!"

.

Berlin.

When the intelligence department reported that Xia Ran launched a landing operation, Mustache, who was accustomed to sleeping late, was still at work.

While he was sipping expensive red wine, he was thinking about how to deal with the arrival of winter.

After listening to Dongfang's information, Mustache put all the red liquid into his belly.

He smoothed the oily hair on his forehead and said to the people around him:

"Inform all ministers to come for a meeting tomorrow morning!"

Mustache did not wake up Goebbels, Goering and others. This was an expected thing, but it happened a little too quickly.

Naturally, Mustache also considered the issues that MacArthur, Eisenhower and Loving Father considered.

There is no use in being anxious. The most urgent task is to think about countermeasures.
