The Rise of the Third Reich

"Marshal Reich, you mean... we don't need to warn the Japanese?" Adolf Hitler was a little confused about Hessmann's attitude. "Japan is our friend after all, right?"

"Friends?" Hessman smiled coldly, "Aren't the people preventing us from entering the Asia-Pacific region right now our Japanese friends?"

Germany has little interest in Southeast Asia and the East Asian continent, but it wants to win Australia and New Zealand, but Japan has been trying every means to prevent Germany from entering the Asia-Pacific. It also "allowed" the United States to massively strengthen Australia and New Zealand. In the eyes of the German Wehrmacht General Staff, this was betrayal.

Therefore, Hessmann's dislike of Japan was entirely due to the will of the Wehrmacht. In this regard, the Nazi Party, like the Wehrmacht, was very angry at Japan's connivance with the so-called "Australia and New Zealand Freedom Fortress".

"And," Hessman smiled, "Japan is a friend, but China is not a friend?"

Although China gradually became a country like the Soviet Union in the second half of the 1930s. However, it had a very good relationship with Germany before, and after the Soviet-German expansion, China did not follow the Soviet Union in declaring war on Germany. The relationship between the two parties was still maintained at least on the surface. Now we are far away, and Japan is in the way, so we can only be friends and cannot become enemies.

"They are also friends," Hitler spread his hands, "but they don't have much sense of existence."

"It's better if you don't have a sense of presence," Hessman snorted. "The Japanese have a strong sense of presence and they always like to act recklessly, which is why they give people a headache."

In the view of the people in the German General Staff, the Japanese encountered Sino-Soviet attacks on the mainland and suffered a complete defeat on the battlefield in Northeast Asia. There was also a crisis in the rule of Indochina (also bordering China) - Japan had placed With an army of hundreds of thousands, if the Chinese and Soviet troops really wanted to fight hard, they probably wouldn't be able to defend it! However, the Central and Soviet armies never took action in Southeast Asia, and they were obviously unwilling to let Germany take advantage of the collapse of Japan's rule in Southeast Asia to restore the British and Dutch colonies.

To China, the Japanese Empire was both an enemy and a barrier, and it was also a chain linking friendship between the two sides of the Pacific. If Japan hadn't existed as a source of hatred, American bosses wouldn't have given machines and arms.

For Germany, Japan's most ideal position is to be stuck between China, the Soviet Union, Australia, New Zealand and the United States, preventing these three parties from joining together. So the more hatred it can create with these three aspects, the better. The greater the contradiction between Japan and China, the Soviet Union, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, the lower its sense of security will be, and the deeper its dependence on the United States of Europe will be. In the end, it will only become a vicious dog of the United States of Europe in the Pacific.

But after Hersmann left Hitler's office to inspect the Victory Day parade that would be held on the 28th. Hitler then hung up the phone to Ribbentrop, who was attending the peace conference in Rome, and asked Ribbentrop to reveal the intelligence that the United States was preparing to bomb Tokyo with bacterial weapons to the head of the Japanese delegation, Lieutenant General Hiroshi Oshima.

…

"No, not from the Korean Peninsula and Vladivostok."

The White House Cabinet Military Conference is currently discussing the use of bacterial weapons to attack the Japanese capital Tokyo. After Truman proposed this idea, Army Aviation Commander General Arnold immediately proposed a tactic of sending B-17 bombers from the Korean Peninsula and Vladivostok airports to conduct night attacks on Tokyo. This is a familiar tactic. From July 1944 to the present, B-17 bombers deployed in Soviet Russia, China and the Korean Peninsula have bombed Japan two to three hundred times. Chinese, American and Soviet pilots flying B-17s could find the location of Tokyo at night with their eyes closed. Moreover, the United States had long ago given plague bacterium ceramic bombs and anthrax bombs to China and the Soviet Union, and also helped them establish biological factories to produce plague fleas and anthrax bacilli.

So as long as an order is given, Tokyo, the capital of Japan, will suffer!

However, Truman chose to go far away from the near today, because he had another purpose of using bacterial weapons to bomb Tokyo, which was to kill the chicken to show the monkeys.

"Send B-29Cs from Oahu," Truman ordered, "and then land at the airport in Vladivostok after completing the bombing mission."

The B-29C is an extended-range model of the B-29, equipped with an R-3350 "Twin Cyclone" 18-cylinder dual-exhaust-cooled engine. The maximum output power is as high as 2,500 horsepower without using the afterburning system. The maximum combat range of the B-29C, which is equipped with four R-3350 engines and has undergone certain weight reduction treatments, has reached 7,500 kilometers - this is a range with combat value, not the maximum range achieved purely in testing.

Such a large combat range is naturally the ultimate trump card prepared to use bacterial weapons to counter Europe. As early as 1944, this extended-range B-29 was a key project of the US aviation industry. In addition to the B-29C, there was also an XB-44 project (later renamed B-29D). However, the B-29C was born at the wrong time. Before it could show its skills over Europe, the Atlantic battlefield ceased operations. Moreover, the Germans did not bomb large cities in the United States with terrifying "200,000-ton-yield" atomic bombs. Therefore, it is impossible for the Americans to ask for trouble and send B-29Cs to Europe to attract hatred.

"We should let the Germans know that we have a killer weapon like the B-29C in our hands!" Truman said, "This will be good for the ongoing peace negotiations."

"Understood, Mr. President." General Arnold thought for a moment, "There are already two wings of B-29Cs ready for combat, and there are also runways on Oahu for B-29Cs to take off and land."

There are F-13 early warning aircraft stationed on Oahu, which are also modified from B-29s, so naturally there is a runway on the island for B-29C to take off and land. In addition, the Soviet Red Air Force Airport in Vladivostok is also very large. Not only are F-13 early warning aircraft deployed there, but also C-69 long-range transport aircraft can take off and land. Therefore, it is not difficult to fly from Oahu to Vladivostok and randomly drop some bacterial bombs in Tokyo in the middle.

As for finding Tokyo, it is not a problem, because the US military has long built very large Lorenz beam base stations in Pyongyang and Vladivostok in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula (the Lorenz beam system is used to guide aircraft to land, and there were civilian versions sold to Britain and the United States, therefore, also developed the military "X-directional beacon system"), which can emit X-intersecting Lorenz beams to Tokyo. American bombers only need to use instruments to fly near Tokyo, turn on the radio and tune to a specific frequency, you can receive the Lorenz beam from Pyongyang or Vladivostok, and then you can follow the beam north or northwest. When you receive another beam, you will be in Tokyo.

…

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellency Prime Minister! Wake up quickly!" Yamamoto Isoroku was hurriedly and abruptly awakened from his groggy sleep. The prime minister and great hero of the Japanese Empire would often be woken up from his sleep by his secretary these days, and then he would have to face all kinds of bad things that suddenly happened. It wasn't that a certain fleet carrying various valuable supplies was besieged by the enemy's "wolf pack" and suffered heavy losses! It was the Chinese on the Korean Peninsula who launched a wave of attacks!

Or perhaps the garrisons in Vietnam and Myanmar reported frightening news again - these news were later proven to be false news without exception, but Yamamoto still did not dare to neglect, whenever the Annan garrison (this is the latest establishment of the Japanese Army) General Army, responsible for the defense of the Indochina Peninsula. The main enemy is the Chinese Red Army.) When an emergency report comes, Yamamoto’s secretary will report it immediately. Whether Yamamoto is sleeping or exercising with his wife, he must stop and deal with it immediately. Emergency military affairs!

When Yamamoto was woken up by his secretary tonight, he was sleeping alone on the tatami in the bedroom of the Prime Minister's official residence. He yawned and sat up from the tatami. It took dozens of seconds to fully wake up and confirm that it was not a nightmare. He fumbled for his eyes and put them on, and saw his secretary and Lu Xiang Ananwei sitting on their knees in front of his couch. The secretary's face was already livid, and beads of sweat could not help rolling down Anan Weiji's face. It was obvious at first glance that something big had happened.

"Is... are the Chinese attacking the Annan Army?" Yamamoto Isoroku asked with a trembling voice.

The situation on the Korean peninsula is now corrupted, but that is not the most fatal impact on the Japanese Empire. What can really kill the Japanese Empire is the fall of the Indochina Peninsula... That piece of land is larger than the Korean Peninsula, and it is the hope of the Japanese Empire in the future. If it is taken away by the Chinese, the future of the empire will be gone!

"No, no." Ananwei shook his head several times, "Tokyo is going to be hit by a major air raid."

Yamamoto was greatly relieved when he heard the news. It was not just a day or two since Tokyo was bombed, but the Japanese people's will to fight has not diminished at all, so there is nothing to worry about.

But just as Yamamoto breathed a sigh of relief, Anami Weiji hurriedly added: "This time the enemy is going to throw plague bombs and anthrax bombs!"

"Wha...what!" Yamamoto Isoroku jumped up, "Anan-kun, are you serious?"

Anami nodded: "It was a message sent by Lieutenant General Oshima in Rome via a secret cable... It is said that the German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop personally informed him! The Americans want to use bacterial weapons to destroy Tokyo!"

Yamamoto Isoroku took a breath. He knew that the Americans could do this kind of thing, because they had used submarines to launch bacterial rockets to attack the coast of Japan as early as last year.

"Do you know what day it is?" Yamamoto asked quickly.

"I don't know." Anan replied, "I don't know what date it is...but I am sure that the bombing of bacterial weapons will begin soon."

"Baga!" Yamamoto Isoroku cursed, "The war is almost over, why don't these American devils give up? Are they really willing to destroy the Japanese Empire?"
