Therefore, China's attitude is very clear. The Chinese government will not disregard commercial credit for the sake of peace and drive away those Germans now. However, in order to show its sincerity for peace, China still made concessions as much as possible and stated that it would treat the two ships as
After the battleship is completed and commissioned, the Chinese government will require the German Far East Fleet to leave China within a month, and all cooperation between China and Germany before that will be suspended.
But this is still unacceptable to the US and British governments. Once the two battleships are put into service, coupled with the two aircraft carriers that have already formed combat effectiveness, the strength of the German Far East Fleet will be extraordinary. The US and British navies will not know it by then.
How much does it cost to pay
It can only be eliminated at a high price. What's more, the United States and the United Kingdom, as traditional naval powers, are also worried that China's help in building battleships for Germany will greatly enhance its own shipbuilding capabilities and lay the foundation for it to become a new maritime power. Besides, China alone estimates
The two-year time limit (actually
It won’t take that long, but you have to report a little more, which not only leaves room for the United States and Britain to underestimate the progress of our shipbuilding industry.), which is intolerable to the capitals of the United States and Britain. If it weren’t for the fact that China’s air force has already
It's so prestigious, the number of anti-aircraft guns
It is also increasing day by day that Qingdao, the most important shipbuilding base, must have super strong anti-air defense, which cannot be resisted by the limited number of aircraft carrier-based aircraft. Roosevelt would even order the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier formation in Okinawa to attack the Qingdao shipyard.
a surgical strike
Both sides were unwilling to make fundamental concessions on this issue, but in the end representatives of the three parties still signed the peace treaty. This was because a series of changes that occurred in December disrupted Roosevelt's wishful thinking and forced him to make drastic changes.
Strengthen the strength of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. It will take time to expand the fleet and launch new ships.
Therefore, the United States must shrink its power accordingly in the Asia-Pacific region. The fleets in Manila and Okinawa have successively withdrawn to Hawaii, and some ships have been ordered to continue eastward through the Panama Canal to join the Atlantic Fleet. As a result, the United States no longer has the ability to directly threaten China.
Strength, of course, cannot be assertive in negotiations.
Moreover, the further deterioration of the war situation in Europe made Roosevelt realize that Nazi Germany's strength exceeded his expectations, so he would not even think about forcing China into the Axis camp. Moreover, China had promised to sell to the United States and Britain as long as the peace agreement was reached.
Cloud explosion, this also has great appeal to the United States. After all, although the United States navy and air force are super strong, if it wants to defeat the Nazi regime, it must land in Europe.
With the cloudburst, a powerful tool for attacking difficult situations, it is doubtless that the casualties of the US military can be greatly reduced. But even Roosevelt did not expect that the cloudburst purchased by the US government from China at a huge expense was too advanced. Although the technology and industry of the United States are developed,
But it is not as easy as they originally thought to copy the finished products just by blowing them up. However, the Chinese government has made a lot of money from it. Of course, this is a story for another day.
The withdrawal of the U.S. fleet from Okinawa made Japan relieved, but the Japanese government's war preparations have further accelerated. Takahito and his ministers knew that they must take advantage of the opportunity when the national resentment against the United States has not dissipated to go to war with the United States, otherwise
Once the breath is released, it will be difficult to raise it again[
The prince who had predicted these changes in the current situation was therefore more important. Not only was he promoted again, he became the youngest naval commander in Japanese history (excluding members of the royal family). Emperor Takahito also agreed with him to follow China's example and form a military force.
Japan's special forces are affiliated with the Navy. This can somewhat resolve the Navy's dissatisfaction with the recent reconstruction of the Army and the independence of the Air Force.
In fact, long before the "July 7th Incident", the Japanese Army had established a similar special forces establishment. However, because their positioning of special forces was very vague, let alone compared with the Chinese Red Party's special forces, in terms of actual effectiveness,
Even the military workers behind enemy lines couldn't compare. However, the Japanese army was also an army that was good at learning. By the end of the Sino-Japanese War,
At the end of the period, the Japanese special forces had developed to the size of a brigade. If the reserve members were included, the number would be even greater, and the quality and special tactics level of these people had also been greatly improved. But at this time
However, a coup broke out in Japan. The army disappeared for a time, and the establishment of the special forces was naturally abolished.
Although most of Japan's special operations personnel were selected into the Marine Corps after the Navy's reorganization based on their excellent personal abilities after the collapse of the Army, due to the deep traces of the old Army on these people, it is difficult to be reused and can be mixed up.
There are not many people who have reached the rank of Captain Cao, let alone a lieutenant. That’s why the prince has to be in the naval establishment.
After the news of the reconstruction of the special forces came out, these guys immediately flocked to him. In Wang Zicai's view, although their special tactics were still very backward, most of their personal qualities could barely meet his requirements. In addition, some of the technical troops were selected from
The elites who come out should be able to develop combat effectiveness after a few months of hard training.
But the prince did not ask for this mission to help Japan train its troops. In order for this armed force to help him trap Japan to death, the prince had to completely control it in his own hands, and the reason for the corresponding measures was
It's not hard to find. Just tell the boss it's to prevent the "lower overcoming the upper" from happening again.
Although Chongren and the Japanese Navy Ministry did not know that Wang Zicai was actually a Chinese, they would not sit back and watch him turn an army into his own private army. However, Wang Zicai dispelled the concerns above by continuously streamlining the establishment. In addition, preparations were made.
There are only more than 800 people. No matter how elite they are, their overall strength is extremely limited.
And according to Wang Zicai's plan, after the three-month training is completed, these special forces, including himself, will be sent to the United States to conduct special operations. By then, I am afraid that few of them will be alive, and not even one of them will be alive.
How could they threaten the country? But the subsequent evolution of the situation completely exceeded their imagination.
The effects of special operations are very exciting, but Chongren and his ministers know very well that in order to win this world war, relying on these little tricks alone is of little significance, and whether Japan can suffer heavy losses in the early stages of its participation in the war,
Only by destroying the U.S. Pacific Fleet can the overall trend of the Pacific War and even this world war be determined. (To be continued...)
