Taking action against the Soviet Union personally may not have a high chance of winning, and it may be used as a wedding dress for others. At the same time, it is not in line with the profound tradition of isolationism in the United States. Without a strong excuse, it will also attract criticism from domestic and foreign public opinion.
Roosevelt would naturally not be so stupid. In his opinion, finding a thug to test the true strength of the Soviet army first and consume some of its power is a wiser approach that is more in line with American tradition.
The United States initially pinned its hopes on Mustache, but this guy had his own ideas and was not willing to become a thug of the United States. Although Mustache relied on the power of the United States to restore Germany's economy, he was not ready to take action on behalf of the United States, Britain and France.
The Soviet Union is a chore
However, the Nazis have only been talking about the Nazis loudly, and they have been quite ruthless towards their own country's revolutionaries. However, they have never taken any substantial action against the Soviet Union, which the United States is really afraid of, and even secretly attacked the Soviet Union.
Broken ties with the Soviet Union (Note 1)
Although Roosevelt believed that Mustache would attack the Soviet Union sooner or later because of his ideology and the need to fight for hegemony in Europe, seeing that the Soviet Union was getting stronger day by day, he really couldn't wait any longer. And if the current situation continues to develop, the Soviet Union will by no means rely solely on
Germany could be defeated. Therefore, for the sake of safety, the United States could not help but pay attention to another thug Japan that was originally supported by it to deal with the Soviet Union, but had been abandoned by the United States due to its poor performance on the battlefield.
..
However, given the current situation of Japan, they will never take chestnuts from the fire for the United States without giving some benefits. However, if the United States provides support to Japan, it will undoubtedly seriously damage Sino-US relations. Roosevelt is not unaware of this, but the Soviet Union
The threat undoubtedly made him more uneasy, especially
The rise of the Soviet Union was something he deliberately allowed to get out of the economic crisis. Once the Soviet Union really failed to check and balance, his responsibility could not be cleared. In addition, the current Sino-US trade is of greater significance to China. Roosevelt believed that
The Red Party will not fall out with the United States over this.
In fact, the Red Party Central Committee is really unwilling to break with the United States and destroy the great opportunity that China Fortune International has finally won, because if we wait until the U.S. economy recovers, I am afraid that even if the Red Party is willing to swallow its anger and pretend to be a grandson, they will
They may not be willing to fulfill the contract. But no matter what, this incident pierced a deep thorn in the hearts of Taizu and other Red Party leaders, and also laid the groundwork for the subsequent deterioration of relations between China and the United States.
Although Roosevelt's wishful thinking was a good one, Japan himself is not a fool. Germany, which is stronger, does not dare to fight to the death with the Soviet Union, let alone Japan, whose national and military power are obviously weaker? But the problem is Japan's Zheng
Fu is just an empty shelf. The army and navy have separate systems but they don't buy into each other at all, so the Americans finally found a breakthrough.
Everyone in the Japanese Navy was ashamed of the fact that the two battleships were captured by the Chinese and sold to the Soviets. The main force of the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy was stationed in the strategically located Weihai Guard Port, which made the Japanese even more ashamed.
The Naval Command felt like it was stuck in its throat. Unless it was not very sure (primary), it would be difficult to get the emperor's permission (minor). He
They have already started a war against the Soviet Union on their own. However, as long as they obtain the advanced wireless communication technology from the United States, the performance and reliability of Japan's HNA airborne radio stations will be greatly improved. Even though the Soviet Union has already begun to strengthen the defense of the Weihai Guard Port
, but as long as Japan's Hainan Airlines can dispatch a large-scale bomber formation that could not be dispatched before, the chance of winning is still very high.
In addition, the U.S. government and some U.S. companies with government background have also provided processing orders totaling no less than 50 million U.S. dollars to some companies that are closely related to the Japanese Navy. That is, the raw materials are all provided by the United States, and Japanese companies will
They are processed into semi-finished products or finished products and sold back to the United States. Although Japan can only earn a little labor fee from them, it is undoubtedly a timely help for Japan, whose domestic economic situation is deteriorating.
Moreover, these two conditions, which are very generous in the eyes of the Japanese people, are just a deposit placed by the United States to induce Japan to start a war with the Soviet Union. Once a war actually breaks out, the benefits will be indispensable to them. This will undoubtedly further increase the private war between the Japanese navy and the Soviet Union.
Su's courage to start a war. Of course, the top brass of the Japanese navy did not know that once a war started, the Soviet Union would definitely be attacked.
The Japanese army's crazy revenge, and Japan, which has lost too many effective forces in the war between Japan and China, will be difficult to compete with the world's number one Soviet Red Army on land even if it receives economic and technical support from the United States (Note 2), but even if
If the Soviet Union did not join the war, would Japan, whose domestic economy was on the verge of collapse, be able to stop Japan's rapid development without receiving U.S. aid?
The growing Chinese army marches into the Northeast? Since the results are similar, why not give it a try? Anyway, the Soviet Red Navy is not strong enough to attack Japan's homeland, and the Japanese navy will only lose Lushun and Dalian at most.
Compared with the local military ports, this is actually not very important (Lushun and Dalian do not even have a 10,000-ton shipyard, while ri
Japan's local shipyards can build super ships of 60,000 to 70,000 tons. This gap is very large.) The naval base. In contrast, Japan's domestic economic difficulties and the possible national workers' and peasants' revolution it may induce
That's the bigger threat. Besides, the Japanese Army has always cheated the Navy, so it's their turn for the Navy to cheat the Army?
In fact, even so, the Japanese Navy's Military Command still could not make up its mind, because the main forces of the 15th Group Army and the two major air forces were in the Qingdao area at the time. After the Japanese Navy sneak attacked Weihaiwei Port, the Soviets would definitely ask them for help.
, Japanese Marine Corps War
The combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the field divisions of the Japanese Army, let alone the 15th Group Army. Japan's Hainan Airlines may not be able to defeat thousands of Chinese and Soviet fighter jets over Weihaiwei, so a sneak attack will be
It is likely to become a big joke. And by that time, the United States
People will definitely give up Japan without hesitation, and even take the opportunity to add insult to injury. Japan, which has always been afraid of bullying, knows this in its heart. Therefore, as long as the 15th Group Army and the two major air forces that cooperate with it are still in Qingdao,
The Japanese navy did not dare to act rashly at all. As a result,
It didn't take long for Hu Weidong to lead the main force of the 15th Army to leave Qingdao to participate in the Central Plains Battle. Afterwards, a civil war suddenly broke out between the two parties in China, which pinned the main force of the 15th Army and the North China Aviation Corps to the Jianghuai area. The Japanese Navy
The long-awaited opportunity finally appeared
Note 1: After the defeat in World War I, the German government secretly cooperated with the Soviet Union for a long time in order to gain opportunities for revival. It was not until Mustache came to power that it basically stopped. However, the private contacts between the two countries were not completely severed. Without this basis, the two countries would
It would not be so easy for the country to reach an agreement to carve up Poland later.
Note 2: The Japanese Navy has many more knowledgeable people than the Army. There will be no stupid ideas like "one Japanese division can defeat three Soviet divisions." In history, the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was also carried out by the Army and the Japanese.
The economic situation has forced us to have no choice. (To be continued.)
