When the Japanese troops in the Chinese theater began to retreat in large strides, the situation in North America took a turn for the worse. The latest chapter of the Temple.com
Beginning in late July, with an order from the Japanese base camp, the "August Offensive" formulated by the General Staff Headquarters was officially implemented. The three armies of the left, center and right of the Japanese army attacking from north to south, with the arrival of backup troops, simultaneously strengthened
With the intensity of the offensive, the US frontline troops were exhausted and had to actively mobilize strategic reserves from the south and east to consolidate the front line. The entire United States was in chaos.
The Japanese army deployed more than 6,000 fighter planes on the North American battlefield, many of which were the latest model Feiyan fighters.
This fighter has absorbed the advantages of German fighters. Its main weapon is a 20mm cannon produced with German mg151 cannon technology. It has extremely powerful firepower and is equipped with armor and self-sealing fuel tanks. In particular, it can quickly enter a 45-degree dive.
Compared with other fighter jets, it provides Feiyan with certain advantages in encounters with US fighter jets.
Once its tail is bitten by a U.S. fighter jet, the Feiyan can quickly escape in a semi-roll dive. In the North American battlefield, in many encounters with advanced U.S. fighter jets produced by Nanhua Aviation Technology, both sides won and lost, but due to the Japanese pilot's skills
It is more outstanding and achieves far greater results than its opponents.
Although it is difficult to maintain the hydraulic engine of the Feiyan fighter in tropical areas, there is absolutely no problem in using it in the dry climate of North America. At the same time, in order to accommodate the large-sized cannon, a fairing was specially added to the wing to strengthen the wing.
Its structural strength has made it a star model on the North American battlefield.
At the same time, the new generation Thunder fighter developed by the Japanese army based on the US military fighters captured on the battlefield has also been put into trials. This model almost integrates the advantages of the South China Air Force A29 fighter and the U.S. Air Force P51 Mustang fighter, and combines the characteristics of Japan's own fighters.
, once it is put into actual combat, it will have a huge impact on the U.S. Air Force.
However, An Yi, who learned the news, did not care very much. The Aeronautical Research Institute of the Xufu Research Institute had long given up on research on propeller fighters. The jet fighters equipped in small quantities by the South China Air Force have gone through experimental, hybrid, and improved types, until the new
One model has been upgraded to the fourth generation. At the same time, radar and guided missile technology have begun to be put on fighter jets for actual combat testing. You can fully imagine the invincible and spectacular scene when it is fully put into use.
The United States is a country with an extremely complex ethnic composition. Whites alone come from multiple ethnic groups across Europe, not to mention blacks, Chinese, Indians and other Hispanic groups who are inferior to whites.
This country, which only has a history of more than a hundred years, has a history of attacking other countries since Japan and frantically expanding its territory to plunder markets and resources without entering from other countries. This has covered up many contradictions. Now the Japanese simply don’t care.
Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, they were just like idiots who were killing each other like crazy, and everything was in chaos.
Fortunately for the Chinese, since both Chinese countries have joined the Allied camp, the Chinese have firmly stood on the side of the U.S. government. After the Japanese troops landed in Alaska, various Chinese consortiums quickly organized the relocation of factories. Thanks to the unity and concerted efforts, now
These Chinese companies have relocated their factories to the eastern region for production and continue to provide combat supplies to the U.S. government and military.
The situation is most complicated for black people.
Among the 130 million people in the United States, there are more than 12 million blacks, accounting for 9.7% of the total population. Like Indians and Hispanics, they have always been discriminated against by whites.
, work and other aspects are restricted. Even after the outbreak of World War II, human resources were tight, black people were excluded from the defense industry sector. For example, according to statistics last year, there were nearly 90,000 people employed in the aviation industry, and only 17 black people.
There are 350,000 employees in the steel industry, of which 245 are black. The shipbuilding industry, which has the highest proportion of black workers, has only 1.7% black workers. This has resulted in a situation where as the war spreads,
While there is a shortage of workers in major factories in the United States, most black people are still unemployed and have no food or clothing. (《》网7*
After the Japanese army invaded the United States, black people who were bewitched by Japan's reactionary propaganda went into riots many times to protest against the unfair treatment of the US government. This once again aggravated the antagonism between white people and black people. Therefore, when the Japanese army established puppet troops in the occupied areas,
Black people enthusiastically signed up to join the army and took the initiative to help the Japanese army manage white people. A large number of Indians and Latinos who suffered from racial discrimination also joined the puppet army. In just a few months, millions of puppet soldiers had been armed.
These puppet soldiers, who were full of prejudice against white people, were very cruel because of their deep-rooted feelings of revenge. Whenever there was local resistance, they would immediately mobilize in full force to suppress them bloodyly. They committed robbery, rape and murder, which greatly deterred the resistance of white people in occupied areas.
This caused the whites in the warring areas to change their expressions, and a large number of whites fled to the eastern and southern regions. The Japanese army was also able to free up its troops and continuously devote them to frontline operations.
In the early morning of August 12, under a starry sky, Mexican President Camacho and Japanese Deputy Chief of Staff Kenji Doihara suddenly appeared in Juarez, a city on the northern border of the United States and Mexico.
Two weeks ago, 300,000 Mexican troops gathered at the border area between the two countries at the request of the U.S. government. The U.S. and Mexican staffs even conducted a four-day map operation together, agreeing that as long as the Japanese troops marched from the north to the south of California,
Asia and Arizona, the Mexican army immediately went north to fight with the US military to resist the Japanese invasion.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to assemble troops, the Japanese troops of six divisions quietly landed at ports along the Gulf of California, and were then transported by rail to the long border between the United States and Mexico. As a large number of Mexican troops were mobilized for cover, the Japanese troops magically
We arrived at the U.S. border without even realizing it.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, President Camacho suddenly delivered a radio speech to the entire country of Mexico, reviewing the history of Mexico since independence, especially emphasizing the humiliating history of repeated aggression and subversion by the United States since the U.S.-Mexican War in 1846, and denounced the Monroe Doctrine.
Shameless and the cruel oppression of Mexico and other Latin American countries by the United States, I hope the Mexican people and military can stand unswervingly with the government that safeguards national sovereignty and national honor, and fight to the end for Mexico's tomorrow!
Finally, Camacho, as the President of Mexico and the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, declared that Mexico and the United States would enter a state of war from now on, which also meant that Mexico formally declared war on the United States.
As early as half an hour before the declaration of war, Mexican Ambassador Rudy Var submitted the declaration of war to U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, then hurriedly returned to the embassy, disguised himself, escaped to an adjacent neighborhood through a tunnel built in the garden, and then took a bus
The car that had been waiting for him escaped from the suburbs of Washington, waiting for an opportunity to return to Mexico and participate in the "holy war" to regain his homeland.
Three hundred thousand Mexican troops and almost the same number of Japanese troops fired fiercely at the unsuspecting U.S. troops on the other side of the border. On the Juarez line alone, thousands of cannons of various types fired fiercely at the U.S. troops.
Although the United States has built a complete group of permanent fortifications on the US-Mexico border, Mexico is now its ally, and the two countries have reached a number of cooperation agreements. No one expected that the Mexican government would suddenly turn its back!
Besides, frontline officers and soldiers, who wants to lie down in damp fortifications and shell-proof holes? Therefore, most of the officers and soldiers chose to work and rest normally in the military camp. It happened that the Mexican army’s shelling happened during breakfast, and the consequences were almost catastrophic.
, in just a quarter of an hour, nearly half of the more than 60,000 U.S. troops in El Paso and surrounding fronts were killed. By the time the remaining U.S. troops entered the position, the Japanese and Mexican coalition forces had already crossed the border, and a fierce battle ensued.
(《》网7*
After half a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese-Mexican coalition forces, which had an absolute advantage in strength, broke through the U.S. military's defense and attacked San Diego and Los Angeles in the northwest direction of the country; in the north of the country, they attacked the U.S. oil and gas center Pecos, Odessa and Hobbs;
To the northeast, the Japanese-Mexican coalition captured the border cities of Laredo, McAllen, and Harlingen, and then marched toward San Antonio and Corpus Christi respectively. The entire southwestern states of the United States quickly fell into war.
...
Washington, White House.
The past six months have been the most difficult years of Roosevelt's life. He broke with convention and was elected president for three consecutive terms during the war. He has faced the darkest moment in his life. Now some people are questioning the diplomatic strategy of the United States hiding behind the scenes to fuel Japan's invasion of China.
, regardless of the isolationist sentiment that was the mainstream of American society at that time, Roosevelt was just complying with public opinion at the time.
After receiving warnings from Texas, Western Mexico, Arizona, California and other states, Roosevelt immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
The meeting had just been held for a while when Colonel Bratton from the Intelligence Bureau of the Army Department hurried into the conference room and handed a telegram to Chief of General Staff George Marshall. After reading it, Marshall stood up in a hurry and said anxiously:
"Mexican natives and immigrants in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and other places launched large-scale riots. Black people in the city and outside the city responded. Hispanic groups took the opportunity to loot everywhere. The National Guards in each state have been fighting with the rebels.
Start the war, state governments ask for help!"
"These ignorant white-eyed wolves!"
The anxious Roosevelt changed his good temper before, couldn't help scolding, and then looked at Marshall: "Why are you hesitating? At this time, we cannot condone any behavior that disrupts social order. We must go all out to deal with all commotions and riots with determination and determination."
Suppress it!"
Marshall nodded and immediately ordered: "Order troops to be stationed in various places. No matter what, we must put out the rebellion within today. Whoever has problems will be held accountable!"
"yes!"
As Colonel Bratton was ordered to leave, Marshall continued to report: "Now that the southwestern states have become the front line and the situation is in chaos, the Japanese army on the northern front will definitely not give up such a good opportunity and will definitely increase their attack intensity. The situation is very critical! This time
It was a serious dereliction of duty that the intelligence department did not discover such a large-scale military deployment by the Japanese army beforehand!"
FBI Director Hoover stood up: "The strength of our intelligence department is still a little weak, especially overseas... Recently, our FBI has been focusing on the mysterious fall of Chicago, which is well-defended. Look,
Let’s see if there was any malfeasance in the process... After investigation, it was confirmed that the Japanese army sent paratroopers to sneak attack our biochemical factory in the east of Chicago, causing a large-scale leak of poison gas and covering the entire city and the western defense line. Wearing gas masks
The Japanese army took the opportunity to move in, occupied Chicago, and pushed the front line to Michigan City and La Porte!
"According to air sampling and inspection, the air and water quality in Lake Michigan are still heavily polluted. Approximately tens of thousands of Japanese engineers wearing chemical protective suits dismantled machinery and equipment, transported them to the western region via the East-West Railway, and shipped them to Australia to resume production. In order to stop the Japanese army,
Our air force and the Japanese aviation force frequently fought over this area, but they failed to gain air supremacy, and the war situation remains stalemate to this day!"
"I know all this, and I don't mean to blame you FBI..."
At this point, Roosevelt stroked his forehead: "Chicago has been lost, and it is meaningless to pursue responsibility. The key now is to hold the Fort Wayne-Indianapolis-St. Louis defense line, otherwise the Japanese army will attack eastward.
military production will be greatly affected..."
Before Roosevelt finished speaking, Major General Myers, director of the Army Intelligence Bureau, walked into the conference room again. Marshall took the telegram, glanced at it, his expression changed, and immediately handed it to Roosevelt:
"This is from Major General Milligan, commander of the Cotulla garrison. Now our defense forces on the Laredo front line have been basically annihilated by the Japanese-Mexican coalition forces. The city of Cotulla, which is on the important route to San Antonio, even counts
There are less than 20,000 National Guardsmen and policemen, and they request that the bridge be blown up immediately, otherwise it will be too late!"
Upon hearing this, Roosevelt quickly took the telegram. After reading it, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Cotulla Bridge was built during the New Deal, right? I didn't expect that this bridge, which was originally designed to be navigable for a hundred years, would be destroyed in just a few years."
.....However, in order to resist the invasion of the Japanese-Mexican coalition, all bridges leading to the eastern region must be blown up, and all railway tracks must be demolished...We cannot let the Japanese and Mexicans use our railways
Send troops!"
Marshall nodded and said to Major General Myers: "Immediately follow the president's advice!"
Major General Myers asked hesitantly: "But a large number of civilians are evacuating to the eastern region. If these bridges are blown up, wouldn't they be abandoned? This..."
Marshall did not dare to express his position at this time. If the Japanese were defeated in the future, it would definitely be a major sin to cut off the evacuation of civilians. Marshall, who still dreamed of going further, did not want his life to bear any stain, and looked forward to it again.
To Roosevelt.
Seeing that Roosevelt was getting angry, he said angrily: "Major General Myers, don't forget that you are a soldier. At this time, we can only sacrifice the interests of a few people to preserve the overall situation. If we don't keep the enemy in the west,
The United States will suffer greater losses in the future, do you understand?"
"Yes, Mr. President!" Major General Miles did not dare to bear the president's anger and left in a hurry.
Roosevelt looked at Marshall: "Do you have any countermeasures against the Mexicans?"
Marshall said: "The navy has assembled its fleet and is preparing to bombard all the port cities in Mexico on the Gulf Coast. At the same time, the air force has also begun bombing major cities in Mexico, blowing up the other side's railways and roads, and cutting off its supply lines. I believe there will be one soon.
The battle report has arrived!"
Admiral William Seeley, Roosevelt's chief naval staff and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, expressed concern:
"Mr. President, there is no way for us to be passively beaten all the time... As far as I know, the situation on the battlefield in China has changed dramatically. It will be a matter of time before the Japanese army, which has suffered consecutive defeats, will be defeated on the Asian continent. We have to find a way
Hold our allies more accountable!"
"oh!?"
Roosevelt asked with interest: "Dear William, do you have any good ideas?"
William Seeley nodded and said: "We can definitely send a fleet to bypass Madagascar where the Japanese army is stationed, directly arrive at the east and west coasts of the subcontinent or the seaports of Myanmar, and then carry an elite division from South China to Madagascar to help us fight against the Japanese.
Soldiers, as long as we take Madagascar and pull out the nail that stands between us and South China, we can transport more troops from the Chinese battlefield to Australia and other battlefields, and then everyone will be alive!"
When Roosevelt heard this, he was greatly moved:
"This suggestion is very good. I have also received telegrams from General Stilwell and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the Nanjing Government... At present, the South China Army and the Chinese Army have switched to a full-scale counterattack. If we can really make the Chinese
Opening up a new battlefield behind the Japanese army is undoubtedly a great thing for us! It seems that we have to send representatives to China as soon as possible to negotiate and resolve this matter!"
Deputy Secretary of State Sumner Wells, who was highly regarded by Roosevelt, stood up and volunteered:
"Dear Franklin, let me go to China. It is best if Prime Minister Churchill also sends a representative to China. Only when we see with our own eyes the defeat of the Japanese army in Asia can we feel relieved, which will greatly inspire the determination and courage of the Allied citizens to fight to the end! China
It took people five years to defeat the Japanese, and we can use the same time to defeat the Japanese and Germans; secondly, we need to sit down and negotiate to see how to deal with the current unfavorable situation!"
Roosevelt immediately agreed: "Okay, that's it... If we don't find a way to let the Japanese continue to be so unscrupulous and crazy, we may really be in big trouble!"
After the meeting, Roosevelt kept Sumner Wells behind and gave him face-to-face advice: "Since he took office as Chief of Staff of the China Theater, there has been a deep conflict between General Stilwell and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the Nanjing government...
General Stilwell was very angry at Chairman Chiang's attempt to preserve his strength. He believed that Nanjing had five to six million elite troops but was afraid of the Japanese army of less than one million. It was really abhorrent...
"According to General Stilwell's secret report, this time they agreed to counterattack across the entire front, but the Kuomintang army still took three steps forward and two steps back. They were too cautious and were not aggressive at all. If they followed the Kuomintang army's approach, it would most likely destroy northern China.
The Japanese troops in the area safely withdrew from China to join other battlefields, so General Stilwell left Nanjing in anger and went to Yan'an, hoping to retain as many Japanese troops as possible through the hands of the Japanese army!
"When you go to China this time, it's best to reconcile the conflicts between the two sides. If it doesn't work, you can only grievance General Stilwell and appoint another person to serve as the Allied Chief of Staff. In the next war, we will rely on Nanhua and the Chinese Army in many places.
Especially in the battle to regain Southeast Asia, Australia and other places, we must rely on the Chinese Army!"
Sumner Wells nodded:
"I understand what the president means... The British are already worried about the loss of colonies in West Asia, the subcontinent, Burma and Malaya. If the South Chinese army is allowed to invade Australia again, they can never let them swallow up the territory.
Give it up... Judging from various aspects of the situation, the Nanjing government, which has always been unkind to us, will most likely transfer its troops back to China in order to deal with the domestic disputes between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the future. Then the United Kingdom can take advantage of this opportunity.
Take back control of Australia and New Guinea! Therefore, logically and logically we need to take care of Nanjing’s sentiments!”
Roosevelt was deeply satisfied with Wells' political wisdom and continued: "Another reason is that Germany's next target of attack is most likely to be West Asia and South Asia. Persia in West Asia is rich in oil, while South Asia is the whole country.
The world's most famous granary, the Germans must have more living space and use the remaining power of conquering the European continent to conquer West Asia and South Asia in one sentence! In this case, South China will be plunged into continuous war, and then there will be no
The rival Nanjing government can free up its hands to help us attack Australia and relieve the pressure we face!"
"Understood!"
Sumner Wells was convinced and began to think about how to achieve President Roosevelt's wishes during this trip to Asia.
