I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 539

However, after the battle, the eight islands must be defended, Oahu is still ours, you go to the remaining seven islands!"

Niu Dao nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay, then it's decided like this!"

Fang Xianjue hesitated: "But we are not familiar with Oahu..."

Kuribayashi Tadamichi said proudly: "Don't worry, we can give you the most detailed maps and information.

At this time, we can say that we know everything about the American Hawaii like the back of our hands!"

Jiang Weiguo said with a meaningful smile: "It can't be better than this, then we would like to thank you!" He knew well that the Japanese had put a lot of effort into intelligence gathering in order to sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and a large number of Japanese spies sneaked into Hawaii all-pervasively, collecting intelligence day and night, so that the Japanese really "knew everything about Hawaii."

After discussing a lot of details, the meeting came to an end. At this time, the warships of the Japanese Navy participating in the war were gradually gathering towards the four northern islands of Japan in the Sea of ​​Japan. The main warships of the fleet include: light cruisers Anhai and Dinghai (formerly two light cruisers of the Soviet Navy’s Pacific Fleet), auxiliary cruisers Jingtao, Fulang, and Kuanglan (all aided by Germany, and the three ships were originally named A The Atlantis, the Orion, and the Vedel all have a tonnage of more than 2 tons. They are actually warships refitted from civilian ships and disguised as civilian ships, because the three ships have a large tonnage and are essentially large civilian merchant ships. It can carry a large number of personnel and materials. In this battle, the three warships are mainly responsible for transportation tasks), Weiguo (formerly Japan's Shigure), Hirajin (formerly Japan's Sea Breeze), Taiyuan (formerly Japan's Yamato Kaze), Xuzhou (formerly Jiangfeng in Japan), Songhu (formerly Tianjin Kaze in Japan), Zijinshan (formerly Japan's Xuekaze) destroyers, and more than a dozen transport ships, one A number of torpedo boats, more than a dozen submarines and other auxiliary ships.

"Ah, General Yamamoto, I have one last question for you!" When the meeting was over, Jiang Weiguo stopped Yamamoto.

"Please tell me!" Yamamoto smiled.

Jiang Weiguo also smiled: "Will you notify the Americans in advance?"

"Of course!" Yamamoto was very serious, "If war is not declared, it is not a surprise attack, but an out-and-out sneak attack, and the reputation of the Japanese Navy will be ruined.

We will issue a declaration of war against the U.S. government half an hour before the war begins!"

"Yeah, that's good!" Jiang Weiguo secretly wanted to laugh. He remembered that in the original history, whether it was intentional or unintentional, the Japanese embassy in the United States "due to the delay in translating the telegram", the Japanese bomb had already fallen on Pearl Harbor. It was only an hour later that the declaration of war was submitted, which made Yamamoto 56's "surprise attack" completely a contemptible sneak attack.

After the meeting, the Chinese personnel got together individually.

"We are about to set off!" Xu Zushan, Huang Wentian, Bao Changyi, Fang Xianjue, and Sheng Wen all looked at Jiang Weiguo, Chen Xunyong, Chen Ce, and Li Shijia with resolute and resolute eyes. Among them, Bao Changyi, Fang Xianjue, The resolute look in Sheng Wen's eyes obviously surpassed that of Xu Zushan and Huang Wentian, because Xu and Huang were the chief and deputy commanders of the fleet, and they could return by boat after going to Hawaii, but Bao Changyi, Fang Xianjue, and Sheng Wen wanted to take three Thousands of officers and soldiers have been stationed in Hawaii for a long time. The war is dangerous, and the allies around them are Japanese. Hawaii is thousands of miles away from the mainland of China. First of all, they may never return, and they will be buried on the island far away from the mainland of China and their hometown. First, and secondly, even if they are alive, homesickness will torment them day and night.

Li Shijia sighed: "You all take care of yourself!"

Bao Changyi smiled: "Don't worry, sir! We will fulfill our mission!"

Fang Xianjue said: "I have already bid farewell to my family, I have written my suicide note, and I have prepared all the things to take with me, including fruits, vegetables, seeds, poultry and livestock!"

Bao Changyi, Fang Xianjue, Sheng Wen and other [-] officers and soldiers went to Hawaii this time, not only bringing a large amount of weapons and ammunition, but also a large amount of crop seeds, poultry and livestock, because they wanted to live a self-sufficient life there.

Xu Zushan said with some guilt: "There is no way, our navy is too weak, and the transportation capacity is too low, it is difficult to provide you with sufficient logistics supplies. The supplies you can solve by yourself must be solved by yourself, and the food can only be grown there by yourself. up!"

Sheng Wen said with a smile: "Sirs, don't be so sad! Hawaii is a world-famous resort. We are actually very lucky to be sent there! Soldiers, we should guard the frontier for our country. We are going to It’s a beautiful place with picturesque scenery, what I wish for! It’s better than being sent to the snowfields of North Asia and the deserts of Central Asia, right?”

Everyone laughed.

Chen Ce asked Jiang Weiguo: "Second son, why did you choose the first of the two proposals proposed by Niu Daoman?"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Chen Ce: "Deputy Chen is here, can't you think of a reason?"

Chen Ce shook his head: "Oahu is the core of the Hawaiian Islands. Honolulu and Pearl Harbor are all on this island. There are three-quarters of the population of Hawaii. There are eight islands. Oahu is the most difficult to fight. Americans And the most, the Japanese want us to have more American blood on our hands than theirs!"

"So let's do what we like!" Jiang Weiguo sneered, "Why did the Japanese divide the eight islands into one and seven? I don't know the intention? You think, if we choose to attack the other seven islands, then First of all, it will be very troublesome when fighting. Although we also have a fleet to go to Hawaii, our strength is too weak and we must get the assistance of the Japanese fleet. It is too troublesome to fight the seven islands one by one. We have to rely on the Japanese everywhere. It is easy for the Japanese to sit on the ground and ask for a price; secondly, after the seven islands have been defeated, if we defend the seven islands next, wouldn’t we disperse our forces? It will be troublesome to defend, and we will not be reconciled if we let some of them be given to the Japanese. After all, it is the territory we have conquered; therefore, we simply choose to attack Oahu Island, which seems to be the most difficult to attack! In fact, Oahu Island is not difficult to attack, as long as the US fleet and aircraft are eliminated, the US Army and Marine Corps on the island There are not many people, you can take them down. As for the Americans on the island, the Japanese want us to kill them. Remember, don’t kill them. Try not to slaughter, abuse or humiliate those Americans. Treat them kindly and turn them into us Is it not good? Besides, Oahu is the core and essence of Hawaii, and there are many good things on the island! Like Pearl Harbor, the port itself is very valuable, and the port Facilities, factories, and those American warships, even if they were blown up by the Japanese army, we will definitely be able to get a batch of warships by repairing them. In addition, I remember that there are several super large oil depots near Pearl Harbor, with a total storage of more than 400 Ten thousand tons of fuel oil, tsk tsk tsk, wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could seize these fuel oils intact, not only solve your own oil consumption problem, but also use those fuel oils to blackmail the Japanese? If the Japanese transport it from the mainland to Hawaii Fuel, how troublesome? We have so much fuel directly, why don’t the Japanese let us go everywhere?”

Everyone was suddenly enlightened.

"There is one more thing I must tell you!" Jiang Weiguo looked at Bao Changyi, Fang Xianjue, and Sheng Wen, "You must remember that although the Japanese are our allies and the Americans are our enemies, but friends and enemies The relationship will change suddenly. The Americans will not always be our enemies, and the Japanese will not always be our allies. When you are in Hawaii, you must not only deal with the Americans, but also remember to always beware of the Japanese.

Understand? "

"Understood!" Bao Changyi and the other three felt solemn.

Jiang Weiguo looked at the sky: "What's the date today?"

Chen Ce replied: "March 3!"

Jiang Weiguo looked at the sea and sky in the distance: "Well, it's time for you to set off, I wish you all smooth sailing and a safe return!"

Chapter 624 The Wind Blows (7)

On March 3th and 14th, Jiang Weiguo, on behalf of the Chinese government, reached a number of relevant agreements with Japanese high-level officials on Jeju Island on "New Cooperation between China and Japan after the War against the United States". The main items include seven points:

First, Japan needs to declare war on the United States. China may not declare war on the United States, but it must declare war on the United States and fulfill its ally obligations to Japan during the war (that is, fully support Japan in fighting against the United States). Correspondingly, Japan will also fight against the United States during the war. China fulfills its ally obligations (that is, fully supports China in fighting against the United States);

Second, the military strikes against Pearl Harbor, the general base of the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet, and the U.S. Hawaii area will be jointly launched by the Chinese and Japanese militaries;

Third, after the Chinese and Japanese troops launched amphibious landings and ground operations on the eight main islands of Hawaii, Oahu was in charge of the Chinese army, and the remaining seven islands were in charge of the Japanese army. After the Chinese and Japanese troops jointly occupied the Hawaiian Islands, the defense of Oahu The affairs are in charge of the Chinese army, and the remaining seven islands are in charge of the Japanese army;

Fourth, the Chinese army must launch a military strike against the Philippine Islands belonging to the United States within [-] hours after the outbreak of the Hawaiian war (the raid on Pearl Harbor) with the purpose of completely occupying the local area. The Japanese army will attack China during the Philippine war. the full cooperation of the military;

Fifth, after the Chinese army completely occupied the Philippine Islands, the Japanese government promised to complete the exchange of the entire territory of the Philippine Islands with China within one month with the Taiwan Islands and Sakhalin Islands that belonged to China and now belong to Japan;

Sixth, China and Japan officially agreed that the entire territory of Oceania and all areas of British India except a small area in the northeast of India and the island of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) belong to Japan; the Middle East is divided between China and Germany, and Japan does not participate; African region again.

Seventh, China, Japan, and Germany had equal status during the war against the United States, and there was no relationship of affiliation with each other. The headquarters of the Allied Powers had the right to guide, not command.

After signing the new Sino-Japanese treaty, Jiang Weiguo let out a long breath: "It's done! Next, it depends on the Japanese. Whether it is a good start or a bad start, we will wait and see!"

War against the United States is a major event, and China and Japan will certainly not hide it from Germany. Hitler and a very small number of high-level German officials knew that "the Japanese are about to launch an attack on the United States" more than a month ago. The first target of the attack is the general base of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet.

After the meeting on Jeju Island, Jiang Weiguo returned to Qingdao on the gunboat Dashengguan. Then, a plane took off from Qingdao and flew to Wuhan. Then, eight bf-109 fighter jets protected a "Panda" strategic bomber that took off from Wuhan. , passed through Xi'an, Dihua (Urumqi), Changping City (Novosibirsk), Champion City (Omsk), Hitlergrad (Stalingrad), Kiev, and finally arrived at a suburb of Berlin after refueling in the above cities. Airport.

At the airport, Shang Zhen, the Chinese military delegation to Germany, was already waiting, and he stepped off the plane to Dai Anguo.

"General Shang!" After saluting, Dai Anguo carefully took out a sealed file bag from his briefcase that was stamped with the words "Super Secret" and "Strictly No Leakage". Führer Hitler!"

"Thank you!" Shang Zhen looked serious, and he solemnly took the portfolio, "Go, go to the German Chancellery immediately!"

Shang Zhen didn't know the contents of the documents in the portfolio, he just received a telegram from Jiang Weiguo, "Dai Anguo will arrive in Germany soon, and discuss important matters with you", that's all.

It was only after Hitler opened the file bag that Shang Zhen knew the top-secret content inside, which surprised him, because the top-secret content inside was "The Japanese-Chinese coalition forces are scheduled to attack Hawaii in the United States at a certain time. A good countermeasure is to face the next new situation, and please keep it strictly confidential and never leak the secrets.”

The raid on Pearl Harbor and the capture of Hawaii, this top-secret plan was basically planned entirely by the Japanese. Objectively speaking, the Japanese have done a good job of keeping it secret, and it can be called seamless and watertight (although some clues have been leaked, but all It is nothing to worry about, completely submerged in a large amount of true and false information), as for the high-level Chinese, only Jiang Weiguo is dumb and eats dumplings. The Japanese had a formal showdown", and they were completely unclear about the specific battle plan of the Japanese. When the last moment came, Yamamoto 56 only informed Jiang Weiguo to go to Jeju Island to hold a meeting. Although there were constant telegrams between China and Japan, none of them involved For the Japanese army's plan, Yamamoto just said in a very ordinary tone in the telegram sent to Jiang Weiguo, "Please come to a certain place (the code name of Jeju Island) to discuss new issues between China and Japan at a certain time." U.S. intelligence agencies intercepted and deciphered these telegrams, and it is completely impossible to smell any troubles. Next, China and Japan have planned together, and Germany must be notified. Although the more people who know, the easier it is to leak the secrets. One of the three core countries of the Allied Powers, and even the "big brother" of the Allied Powers. Since China and Japan are going to do such a big thing, it is absolutely impossible not to notify Germany in advance. In addition, Japan's war against the United States also directly involves Germany Notifying Germany in advance will allow Germany to prepare early, and secondly, it will also allow Germany to keep pace with China and Japan in the war, preventing Germany, China and Japan from losing their coordination and fighting on their own (in the original history, Japan did not attack Pearl Harbor at all. Germany was caught off guard by not notifying Germany of the incident. Similarly, Germany did not notify Japan before its blitz on the Soviet Union, which caught Japan off guard. Germany and Japan had no cooperation in the entire world war, and many serious strategies emerged. mistake.

For example, before Germany blitzed the Soviet Union, the Battle of Nomonhan broke out between Japan and the Soviet Union. At that time, there were fierce disputes among the Japanese high-level officials. The two factions quarreled fiercely, and then consulted Germany's opinion. At that time, Germany was ready to strike the Soviet Union, but in order to paralyze the Soviet Union, it signed a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, and did not tell Japan its true intention, making Japan The Japanese high-level officials mistakenly believed that Germany had no war plan to attack the Soviet Union. Therefore, the Japanese high-level officials believed that if Germany and Japan fought the Soviet Union together, Germany and Japan would definitely win, but Germany did not plan to attack the Soviet Union. The "Northward" route was abandoned. Therefore, after the Battle of Nomonhan, the Japanese high-level officials chose to calm down and gave up attacking the Soviet Union.

From this point of view, it was actually Germany's own responsibility that Germany did not receive Japan's cooperation during the German-Soviet War.

In addition, if Japan knew that Germany was actually going to attack the Soviet Union, then the following historical trajectory may be like this: Japan is likely to choose to attack the Soviet Union with Germany. In order to prepare, the Japanese Army must get out of the Chinese battlefield Naturally, the Japanese government will lower the terms of the armistice, negotiate a peace with China, and perhaps agree to "restore the situation between China and Japan to the level before the July [-]th Incident." At that time, the Sino-Japanese war will be suspended, and China can withdraw from the war. He was transferred to the northeast and joined the German army in attacking the Soviet Union when Germany launched Operation Barbarossa.

China and Japan are in the easternmost part of the Eurasian continent, while Germany is in the westernmost part of the Eurasian continent. Although the territories of China and Germany are bordering at this time, the distance between Berlin and Wuhan and Tokyo is still too far. Jiang Weiguo and Yamamoto 56 want to To tell Hitler about this, sending a telegram is the most convenient and fastest way, but it is also the most dangerous way, because once the telegram is intercepted by the US and British intelligence agencies, everything will be over.

Jiang Weiguo remembered that there were more than one enemy intelligence agencies lurking in Germany during World War II, one of them seemed to be called the "Black Band", and the German Enigma cipher machine was eventually cracked by British intelligence agencies (Jiang Weiguo does not remember Enigma When the Nygma cipher machine was cracked, maybe it was earlier because of the "butterfly effect", maybe it was delayed because of the "butterfly effect", this is unclear), so Jiang Weiguo opposed the use of telegraph Yamamoto agreed with this, and his 1 "surprise attack on Pearl Harbor" plan that he didn't want him to spare was leaked by the Germans at the last moment. In the end, Jiang Weiguo adopted the most primitive but safest method : Send people to fly all the way from China to Germany, and hand over the information to Hitler face to face.

According to Shang Zhen's recollection, Hitler's reaction after reading this top-secret information was as follows: "...Since Hitler also didn't know that this information was about the war between Japan and the United States, but he should have estimated that 'it must be at what height' Confidential', because it was the first time that the Second Young Master used this method to send him documents, so although he was very surprised, he was still surprised after reading it.

Hitler first opened the seal of the file bag seriously and solemnly, and took out a thin sheet of paper, on which was the content of the document that had been translated into German. As soon as he saw it for the first time, his eyes widened, and his gray-blue eyeballs shot enthusiastically. Bright, his face was changing drastically, first surprised, then very obvious surprised, then incredible surprised, finally overjoyed, he was very happy, his whole face was shining, even his mustache was greasy.

'Ha ha! ’ Hitler waved the paper at me, “Shang, guess what’s in it?”

I asked cautiously: 'Führer, do I have the right to know? '

Hitler laughed: "Although General Jiang didn't say whether he could tell you, I know you. You have always been very tight-lipped."

As long as you don't tell others, I can tell you.

'

I tentatively guessed: "Is it related to the war between Japan and the United States?" '

'Shang, you got it right, but the details will surprise you.

You know, I once commented on the Japanese in "Mein Kampf" that they lack imagination. I'm afraid I have to change my comment and my opinion on the Japanese now, because I just discovered that the Japanese His imagination is simply whimsical.

Yes, the Japanese are going to make a serious move on the Yankees. Guess where they attacked first at the beginning of the war? '

'the Philippines? '

'You guessed wrong! 'Hitler smiled,' you can't guess, can you?The first goal of the Japanese after the start of the war was the general base of the Pacific Fleet of the Yankees, Pearl Harbor!They not only want to destroy Pearl Harbor, but also occupy the whole of Hawaii! '

'What? ' I was flabbergasted, I could hardly believe my ears, 'Is this...is this possible?Hawaii is more than 200 kilometers away from the Japanese mainland!Are they going to storm Hawaii? ’ I turned my thoughts eagerly, ‘Could it be... that the Japanese naval fleet plans to head to Hawaii with open fire to lure out the U.S. troops, and then start a fleet decisive battle with the U.S. Pacific Fleet in the Western Pacific between Japan and Hawaii? '

'No!The Japanese are planning to raid Pearl Harbor! 'Hitler looked at the shocked expression on my face with satisfaction, 'Is it very surprising?Me too!I really didn't expect that the Japanese actually wanted to do such an incredible thing! '

'It is indeed unbelievable!The Japanese are... what the hell are they trying to do? '

Hitler smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, I have no right to mobilize the Japanese navy, let us wait and see!"Maybe those Japanese people will really give us a big surprise!Although I also feel that the Japanese are simply joking, I still look forward to the Yankees' Pearl Harbor being blown up by the Japanese.

'

My mind was in turmoil, and after I managed to sort it out, I asked Hitler: 'The Japanese intend to go to war without declaring it?Sneak attack? 'I have already thought about it. If the Japanese fleet wants to sail near Hawaii and catch the U.S. military by surprise, there is no other way but to sneak attack without declaring war.

Don't the Japanese just like and are the best at doing such despicable things?

Hitler put the top-secret document in a drawer in his office: "The Japanese said they would send Roosevelt a declaration of war half an hour before officially attacking Hawaii. In fact, this behavior is no different from a sneak attack."

'

I made up my mind and said: 'Führer, Germany has to make preparations early.

If the Japanese succeeded, what should Germany do?What should Germany do if the Japanese miss? '

Hitler pondered for a while, and then a look of sternness flashed across his face: "If the Japanese succeed, then Germany will follow Japan in declaring war on the United States. I will immediately notify Dönitz (the commander of the German Navy's submarine force) and ask him to dispatch half of them immediately." The submarine is going to stand by in the eastern waters of the United States. As long as the Japanese succeed, my swallowing of Roosevelt will be completely over. For so long, those merchant ships and freighters flying the Stars and Stripes have swaggered back and forth to and from the UK under my nose Between the U.S. and the U.S., German submarines, warships, and planes can only watch but can't do anything. I've had enough of this, and the German army can't bear it anymore. After the Japanese succeeded, at that time, Japan had already treated The United States has declared war, well, Germany will immediately declare war on the United States, and German submarines in the waters around the British mainland and in the eastern waters of the United States will officially attack all ships flying the American flag!Not only the American ships coming to the UK, but also the American ships near the mainland of the United States, can also be hit!This is what the Americans asked for!The US government has been looking down on Germany, it's time for them to taste what they are doing! '

I nodded, waiting for Hitler's next words.

"If the Japanese miss..." Hitler showed a sly expression, "then, no matter whether the Japanese have declared war on the United States or not, since the Japanese have dropped bombs on the Americans, it is inevitable that Japan and the United States will go to war." Well, by that time, however, the Japanese have missed it...there will be big troubles, China will not declare war on the United States, and Germany may be the same!Maybe we need to think about it in the long run. Anyway, even if the Japanese are reluctant, they are the Americans they provoked themselves. Let them carry it on their own! '

I couldn't help laughing immediately. Obviously, what Hitler meant was: if the Japanese attacked the Americans but unfortunately missed, Germany might be able to protect itself and protect itself wisely.

In that way, both Germany and China stood by and watched Japan single out the United States one-on-one. In other words, Japan was completely abandoned by Germany and China.

Thinking of this, a strange thought came to my mind. As a Chinese, do I really want the Japanese to succeed?Or miss it? ..."

Jiang Weiguo was also struggling with this question at this time: Did he want the Japanese to succeed?Or miss it?More precisely, is the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor more beneficial to China if it succeeds, or is it more beneficial to China if it fails?

This issue is very complicated and requires Jiang Weiguo to think carefully.

First of all, the Japanese army's current military strength for attacking Pearl Harbor is much stronger than in the original history. In the original history, the Japanese army used 6 aircraft carriers to attack Pearl Harbor, Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu , Xianghe, Ruihe, the six ships add up to a total of 493 carrier-based aircraft, dispatched about 350 to attack Pearl Harbor (need to leave a part to protect the fleet itself), and now there are 10 aircraft carriers, 4 more The Yamato class has increased the number of carrier-based aircraft to 993 (this is the number of aircraft carrier-based aircraft, excluding seaplanes). According to the plan of the Japanese army, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet will dispatch almost 700 carrier-based aircraft to attack China. Doubled, the combat power, attack power, and destructive power have also doubled.

Secondly, in terms of the number of capital ships, the Japanese army currently has 10 aircraft carriers (excluding the Ryujo and the sunk Fengxiang number leased to the Chinese Navy), the US military has 8 aircraft carriers, the Japanese army has 10 battleships, and the US military has 18 aircraft carriers. The comparison is obvious. The U.S. Army is stronger than the Japanese Army in battleships, and the Japanese Army is stronger than the U.S. Army in aircraft carriers. It seems that each has its own strengths and weaknesses. In fact, the Japanese Army has a great advantage, because as we all know, naval battles during World War II have already been dominated by aircraft carriers. Battleships It is no match for the aircraft carrier.

Although the strength of the US shipbuilding industry greatly exceeds that of Japan (the size of the US shipbuilding industry is more than four times that of Japan, this is still the current data, because the US shipbuilding industry, like the US industry, also has a strong potential and explosive power that Japan cannot match) , However, the U.S. Navy needs to fight on two fronts, while fighting the Japanese army in the Pacific Ocean, while also fighting the German army, Italian army, and the French navy controlled by the German army in the Atlantic Ocean.

Of course, it is an indisputable fact that the U.S. military is much stronger than the Japanese. What Jiang Weiguo is most worried about is: if the Japanese win extremely brilliant results at the beginning of the war and gain a great strategic advantage, the Americans will directly persuade them. so what should I do now?

The battle of Hawaii is about to start, and the result of the battle is nothing more than the following three possibilities:

First, the Japanese army won a complete victory and wiped out or severely damaged the US Pacific Fleet with only a small price, and Hawaii was successfully occupied by the Chinese and Japanese coalition forces;

Second, the Japanese army won, but suffered relatively large losses. It is possible that they only achieved the purpose of attacking Pearl Harbor, but failed to achieve the purpose of occupying Hawaii;

Third, the Japanese army failed, suffered heavy losses, failed to achieve any goal, and returned home in a state of embarrassment.

Jiang Weiguo is Chinese, and he must seek to maximize the benefits for China. He is thinking, which of the three possibilities is the most beneficial to China?Which is the most detrimental to China?
