At this time, in order to better grasp the front-line battle situation and adjust the front-line troops at any time, Ouyang Yun's headquarters had moved to Jinzhou. Coincidentally, on the day he arrived in Jinzhou, Guo Muyi sent back a top-secret secret message from Washington. .
The decryption procedure for this kind of secret message was quite complicated, so it was not until nine hours later, that is, around 11 o'clock that night, that Ouyang Yun saw the content of the message. After reading the message, his expression suddenly changed. Tieqing, he slapped the table hard and cursed: "Mother Xipi."
"Brother, what's wrong?" The message was sent by Pan Meiren, she asked with concern.
"You should also take a look." After handing the message to her, Ouyang Yun lit up a cigarette, took a long puff, and walked around the room.
Pan Meiren took the message and glanced at it and was shocked by the content. After reading it carefully, she raised her head and looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "Do you want to verify it? This, this is incredible."
If he didn't know Guo Muyi's personality and knew that he couldn't joke about this kind of thing, Ouyang Yun would definitely doubt the authenticity of the contents of the telegram. But now, with Guo Muyi revealing the final answer, all kinds of conflicts between the United States and Japan in the past few months have Ambiguity surfaced before his eyes, and Ouyang Yun knew that he had been tricked by the Americans.
At the beginning of the Third Australian War, because of the defeat of New Guinea, the United States sent a special representative (Stilwell) to stare at Ouyang Yun every day, hoping that China would send troops to help the war. In the middle and later stages, as the U.S. military began to gain the upper hand, the Chinese government focused Based in the Northeast, China hoped that the United States could contain the focus of the Japanese military in Southeast Asia in Australia, so it basically met all the requirements put forward by the United States. It was also during this period that China transferred information on missiles and Golden Eagle fighter jets to the United States for the first time. Core production technologies, although these technologies have been eliminated by the Chinese military industry sector, can enable relevant US scientific research departments to avoid many detours and save American scientists a lot of time...
Just a week ago, Song Ziwen called Ouyang Yun, saying that Roosevelt suddenly fell into a coma and asking if government officials of a certain weight should be sent to visit...
Ouyang Yun originally had great respect for Roosevelt. When he heard about his serious illness, he originally intended to send Song Ziwen to the United States to check on his condition in person. But now, with the arrival of Guo Muyi's confidential message, he had to wonder if this was a spy from the U.S. government. This is a strategy, and its purpose is to cover up the secret talks in Melbourne.
"I have to go back to Chongqing. The sooner the better. Ask Zhang Liang to prepare the plane immediately." Ouyang Yun suddenly stopped and said to Pan Meiren.
Pan Meiren responded and walked out quickly.
In Singapore, the carnival of the Japanese has just begun. In the courtyard of the official residence of Koizumi Minichiro, the civilian and military attachés from Japan's Southeast Asia Governor's Palace, the Southwest Front Command and the Takeku Aircraft Carrier Fleet Headquarters gathered together, enjoying fine wines, delicacies and the local atmosphere. A wonderful performance by a kabuki, while in Koizumi's living room, Koizumi Minichiro, Inoue Narumi and Honma Masaharu were sitting around a coffee table, each holding a glass of red wine and talking.
The Japanese do have reason to rejoice, because if the United States can really fulfill the terms of the secret treaty, it will mean that Japan will not only get rid of fighting alone in Southeast Asia, but will also gain a powerful ally.
As for whether the United States will sincerely form an alliance with Japan and jointly fight against China in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, Koizumi Minichiro is not worried about this. When positioning the United States as Japan's number one enemy, Koizumi Minichiro cannot see this, that is, : China’s dominance in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions will harm not only the interests of Japan, but also the interests of the United States; in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, the United States and Japan actually have common aspirations.
From being mortal enemies to suddenly becoming allies, Inoue Narumi and Honma Masaharu still have many things they are not accustomed to. Among them, Inoue Narumi, who adheres to Yamamoto Isoroku's ideas and has always regarded the United States as the biggest obstacle to Japan's rise, is particularly uncomfortable.
However, after listening to Koizumi Minichiro's analysis, both of them felt suddenly enlightened. When they looked at Koizumi Minichiro again, their eyes were different.
"In terms of distance, Asia and even the Pacific are actually quite far away from the United States. So why does the United States waste its national power and frequently increase its troops in Asia and even help Australia fight us? It's not about how just Americans are, but it involves the country of the United States. Interests, we all know that the United States is currently the most industrialized country in the world, and the result of high industrialization is that the U.S. domestic market has completely digested the products produced by American companies. At this time, the United States needs to open up other markets to consume these products. In order to maintain the continued prosperity of domestic industry...not only to occupy the market, but also to plunder resources from Asia is the main reason why the United States is so concerned about the situation in Asia. Therefore, the U.S. government cannot tolerate our occupation of the Philippines and South Asian countries, so they will send troops to intervene. , the current situation in Asia is that China is strong and we are weak. In other words, China is very likely to replace us and become the new hegemon in Asia. This will inevitably harm the interests of the United States. Because of the nature of the United States, even if it is not now, they will be in the future. They will also regard China as a competitor, so they will try their best to weaken its strength in an attempt to regain the largest market in the world... What I do is actually just to help Americans see the reality of Asia clearly earlier. As long as Americans are not fools , even if they cooperate with us emotionally now, in the near future, they will become proactive because they will taste the sweetness, so I think instead of worrying about whether the United States is sincerely cooperating with us, it is better to make more sacrifices and give first The Americans have a little more sweet taste. South Asia is so big. With the current situation of the empire, it is impossible to maintain long-term occupation. Instead of taking advantage of the Chinese people, why not exchange it for an ally? As long as the Americans still want to get involved in Asia, they will sooner or later make peace with China. If a conflict occurs, I think there are definitely people at the top levels of the U.S. government who can see through this, and as long as they can see through this, they will never reject my goodwill."
"I always feel it is a pity that the Philippines is the fruit bowl of Asia, so it was handed over to the Americans."
"It's no pity. It's true that the Philippines is the fruit plate of Asia, but it is also the front line against China. And for the empire, oil and iron ore are the most important. Mr. Honma, as long as the fruit trees are still there, the fruits will be There will be no shortage, but oil and iron ore will be used less."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
"I am always worried that Americans will go back on their word if they break their promise."
"Inoue-kun, it seems that you don't understand the United States. As a contract-based country, Americans may hesitate and curse before signing, but as long as they sign, haha, then there is nothing to worry about. I firmly believe in this No doubt."
