Battle of the Third Reich

"My head of state, I don't understand why the Japanese cabinet agreed to this plan. This is prepared to be hostile to the whole of Europe and even the whole world. Are these Japanese people going crazy?" General Busch's perspective on the issue was very keen, he immediately asked Xu Jun raised questions.

"I agree with General Busch’s opinion that this may be information released by the Japanese, a smoke used to mislead us, because if it is true, this is really stupid. If the suddenness of the war may be used in a short time, Some results can be achieved, just like the deduction of the headquarters, but once the war is stalemate, it will surely evolve into a war of attrition, and Japan cannot win the final victory.

What's more, we have learned their plans so that the suddenness of the war no longer exists. "General William Liszt offered his opinion. The army general had just returned from Italy. Standing next to him was Mountaineer Lieutenant Scherner who returned to Berlin on the same plane as him.

"This is a gamble that must be lost, my head of state." Seeing Xu Jun's eyes turned to himself, Scherner said with a chest lift.

"Very good, very good, who else has the same view on this?" Xu Jun nodded with satisfaction, his eyes turned to the marshals and generals on the other side of the map table.

"It seems that everyone's opinions are the same, and I am very happy, because I think so." Xu Jun waved his hand and prevented others from speaking. He turned back and walked to the map, with one hand behind his back and the other holding Slender pointer.

"Sherner is right, this is a gamble that must be lost." The empire's backhand lashed fiercely on the map.

"Maybe before we know about it, they still have a chance to win by three points, but now, they have not seen any possibility of victory. But gentlemen, we have to pay attention to one point, the problem we see now, the Japanese I don’t know, they have no knowledge of these issues. The Japanese have been trying to analyze the world with their ancient thinking patterns. They spend most of their time in their dreams. Few Japanese can sober Looking at these strategic issues, Japanese people who think like this are regarded as aliens and excluded from their own people. They are like us five years ago, maybe Blumberg and Loeb will feel very deeply about this ."

Speaking of which, Xu Jun found that this problem seemed a bit sensitive. He coughed his fist in front of his mouth and gave a slight cough, giving everyone time to forget the above sentence.

"Okay, I will explain to you briefly here, I believe you are full of doubts about this plan. First of all, I declare again that the information we obtained is accurate, not the smoke emitted by the Japanese. The intelligence gathering started before the war, and these cabinet meeting minutes were only appetizers. Their mainland strategy had problems. Although the Chiang Kai-shek government was losing ground on the battlefield, China itself has vast territory. This is the strongest weapon to contain Japanese forces." Xu Jun pointed his pointer at East China on the map.

"Our intelligence team in China is sending the latest intelligence to Berlin every day. The situation in China's battlefield has undergone a subtle change. Many theaters have also fallen into a stalemate confrontation. Japan obviously needs time to digest what it has gained in the past six months. As a result, this is not a job that can be completed in a short time.

Their military strength is far from enough to complete the goal of fully occupying this land. At present, the Japanese army can only deploy garrisons in some key cities along the road, railway and river supply lines, and the large areas outside the city do not actually accept their management. Therefore, Japan hired a group of old Chinese bureaucrats and soldiers who had surrendered to them to help them manage the occupied area.

China’s armed forces, everyone should have seen reports about them in the newspapers, and they must have some understanding of them. The troops they commanded carried out flexible guerrilla warfare in the Japanese-occupied area of ​​northern China, which contained a large amount of the Japanese army’s mobile forces. Every day, the materials Japan consumes in this kind of security operations are relatively human. Surprised figures.

Japan has exhausted the national power they have spent half a century on the Chinese battlefield, and the war dividends obtained on the Chinese battlefield can only barely maintain the daily operation of this war machine. It has been confirmed by the intelligence that if there is no breakthrough in China’s war situation within one year, the Japanese government’s national finances may face the threat of bankruptcy.

However, for this war, Japan has paid a great price. They cannot withdraw from the battlefield at this time, so even if it is costly, they must fight this war to the end. "The head of state used a pointer to mark between China and Japan on the map.

"The goal of Japan’s southward advancement is the precious resources that these colonies have. They now spend a lot of money every month to buy precious minerals and oil from the colonies. To be honest, we have also made a lot of money on this. "Xu Jun said that there was a pause, and the generals and marshals laughed happily.

"But for now, the Japanese obviously don't want to spend this money anymore. They started thinking about seizing this area by force and then using these colonial cheap resources to support them in their long war with China." Xu Junshui The marshals nodded their heads in an orderly understanding after throwing the pointer.

"What the German Empire needs to do now is to make the Japanese feel that Germany will support their actions. This is also the task I gave to Marshal Blumberg. For this purpose, I also specially sent him what I wrote to the Japanese emperor. An autograph. Gentlemen, you can now express your views." Xu Jun threw the teaching pointer back to the staff and strode back to the map table.

"The head of state means that we are not going to stop Japan from encroaching on the colony, but on the contrary, we must try our best to push them to implement this... Southward plan?" Busch asked doubtfully.

"But I remember that our previous goal was to maintain the strategic balance of Asia and protect the interests of Asian colonies in European countries. Will there be any conflicts between them?" Feng Boke said with a braces.

"There is no conflict as you think, Marshal, because the ultimate goal is the same. Japan is a huge threat to the world. What we are doing now is to solve this problem at the minimum cost. "Yordel answered.

"I understand what you mean. This must have a good grasp of diplomacy, and we must communicate early with European countries." Paulus said loudly with his hands on his hips.

"What you said, the headquarters has already begun, and these countries have indicated that they will fully cooperate with our actions." Kettle said.

"I think I understand what the head of state said. This is indeed a trap, a trap that allows the Japanese to jump in willingly, provided that he must feel safe, and the support of the Third Reich is to promote them in this adventure. Guarantee." Manstein's eyes flashed with excitement.

"After receiving the tacit consent of the empire, they will transport supplies and troops to Siam with peace of mind." Yoder said in a word.

"Once the plan is officially launched, they will only continue to invest precious resources in this bottomless hole. At that time, no matter how the situation changes, they will not be able to turn their heads again." Manstein said .

"Their actions can only be carried out around this strategic plan, and we got enough time to use the limited power in our hands to lay out a line of defense against this strategy." Yodell smiled proudly.

"Eventually locked Japan in the South China Sea." The two generals said the same sentence coincidentally, and then laughed happily.

"So what about the Siamese problem?" Paulus raised his hand on the side: "Are we fighting Siam now with the same purpose?"

"If the armed forces of the Kingdom of Siam are not weakened as much as possible, they will not fall completely to Japan. The Prime Minister of Siam is an ambitious soldier, and he will not be willing to be a puppet at his mercy." Celtic sneered. Speaking.

"After the prime minister lost the troops in his hands, in order to maintain his status and power, he could only seek support from the outside world."

"So he will fall to Japan?" Busch thought thoughtfully.

"Because this is the only choice he can make." The chief of staff said with his head raised.
