710 Open up the third battlefield

"Self-boat, suicide plane!? Comrade Yasuda, aren't you kidding?"

Yasuo Yasuda surprised Lu Yi. He suggested that the pilot of the Indian Red Air Force fly a plane full of bombs to hit the British Indian Ocean fleet parked in Ceylon! Lu Yi San cursed in his heart, this style of play is stupid enough. Which pilot is willing to do this?

Yasuda introduced: "The Japanese Red Navy Air Force has established a 'Kamikaze Special Attack Team', and this unit is carrying out suicide attack missions! As of the end of July, more than 3,500 Red Army soldiers have signed up for the special Attack Team. Now these suicide squads are training in the Japanese Navy's aviation school. High-quality updates are just in my opinion. The Communist Youth League members are not afraid of death than Japanese Red Army soldiers, right? As long as Comrade Lu Yi gives orders, thousands of comrades will definitely come to sign up."

There are so many Japanese who are stupid! Lu Yi exchanged glances with Trotsky, and then said helplessly: "Of course, there must be many such Indian comrades, but there are very few air force pilots, and they have not been trained in attacking surface ships. I am afraid that they will not be able to complete such a difficult task."

Yasuo Yasuda waved his hand and said, "Comrade Lu Yi, training special attack players is actually very simple. There is no need to recruit from experienced active pilots, just ordinary Red Army soldiers. This way, as long as you can recruit suicide squadrons, we will help solve the training. In addition, we can also provide samples and drawings of special attack aircraft, which should be manufactured quickly with the Soviet aviation industry level."

"But this kind of lack of heart... well, what if the brave and fearless style of play cannot destroy the British Indian Ocean fleet?" Lu Yi asked with a frown.

Yasuo Yasuda looked at Trotsky with a gloomy face and gritted his teeth and said, "If it doesn't work, then the Japanese Red Navy will send a fleet into the Indian Ocean. In addition, Japan can provide India with 10 destroyers, 5 submarines and 2 cruisers. And help India train naval officers and soldiers."

"So can Japan send an expeditionary force to the Middle East?" Trotsky asked again.

Faced with Trotsky's aggressiveness, Yasuo Yasuda complained in his heart. He forced a smile and explained to Trotsky: "The first thing to send an army to obtain the Indian Ocean's sea control power. As long as the special offensive tactics of the Indian Red Air Force are effective, the Japanese army can be sent to the Middle East immediately. This is no problem. Before this, Japan can only send a small number of personnel to the Middle East or India."

This result was quite satisfactory to Trotsky. In fact, he did not expect Japan to agree to send troops to the Indian Ocean. He was aware of the tacit understanding between China and Japan, and he also agreed. However, Lu Yi made such a request, and he couldn't refute the face of the newly released secretary of the GC International Asia Bureau. He had to put pressure on Japan.

...

At this moment, Chang Ruiqing was having dinner with US President Roosevelt in a luxurious restaurant at the Caesarhof Hotel. He had a French meal. The menu was printed in Chinese and English on light yellow paper with the official American heraldry badges, including fish, soup, game, steak, chicken, vegetable salad and grilled lamb. The high-quality update was when the blonde waiter started serving one by one, and more waiters were diligently pouring wine for the guests. Although the morning meeting with Hopkins was not very pleasant, it was a pleasant atmosphere of guests and hosts having fun.

A long dining table in the magnificent restaurant was filled with powerful figures. Today's banquet was filled with American taxpayers' money. So President Roosevelt sat in the main seat at the top of the dining table, sitting on both sides of Hitler and Mussolini. The three of them seemed to be having a very speculative conversation, especially the Italian leader wearing blue Italian naval uniforms seemed to be endless. It was obvious that Mr. Mussolini was excited to appear in this restaurant as the leader of one of the five powerful countries in the world.

Chang Ruiqing sat next to Hitler, opposite him was British Prime Minister Chamberlain sitting next to Mussolini. They both began to whisper the issue of India from the beginning of the banquet. A few days later it will be the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of India. This news is undoubtedly very bad for Chamberlain, which shows that 350 million Indians have united under the red flag of the Indian GCD and officially got rid of the colonial rule of the British Empire. What made Chamberlain even more frustrated was that there are two opinions on the establishment of the People's Republic of India in the UK. One opinion is to recognize India's independence. The Indian war in the past 10 years has exhausted the British Empire. Perhaps it is time to get rid of this trouble. The other opinion is of course to counterattack India, and the representative is British Navy Minister Churchill.

He also attended today's banquet, sitting next to Chamberlain, listening to Chang Ruiqing and Chamberlain's conversation with his ears. When he heard Chang Ruiqing say that China had helped the Indian M Slin Alliance and Hezbollah recruit one million troops and was preparing to divide the east and west into counterattack India after completing the training, he immediately asked: "His Excellency Prime Minister, what role do you plan to let the British Empire play in the war against India? If those M Slins successfully gain the rule of India, how will their relationship with the British Empire be positioned?"

Chang Ruiqing coughed, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "It seems that I should not answer these two questions, right? The key now is, what role is your British Empire ready to play in the counterattack? If you still plan to maintain colonial rule in India after the war, you should assume the corresponding obligations now, otherwise it is unlikely that those M Slings obey the command of London, right? After all, we now provide the weapons, funds, and instructors of the M Slings army. Where is the British Empire's enthusiasm for counterattack against India? I really don't see it, but I heard some rumors that the British Empire was preparing to give up India."

Churchill looked at Chang Ruiqing coldly: "The British Empire will never give up India! But everyone knows that the focus of this world war is not in South Asia, but in Europe! So we must allocate our main force in Europe and resolve India after defeating the Soviet Union."

Chang Ruiqing looked at Chamberlain. The British Prime Minister nodded slightly, as if he recognized Churchill's words: "...The British Empire will certainly not give up its obligation to help the Indian people. The current problem. High-quality updates are just some details on military deployment. We have also considered that launching a counterattack from Central Asia and East Bangladesh at this time is not a big deal. The total strength of the Indian Red Army is as large as 10 million, and relying on a 1 million m Slin army does not seem to be enough to defeat them. So we believe that counterattacking India should be put after the resolution of the Soviet Union. Now we have only two focuses, one is Europe and the other is the Middle East. We hope that China can also focus on these two points and carry out military deployment."

"Of course, of course. Our deployment has always been to defeat the Soviet Union first. As long as we defeat the Soviet Union, Japan and India, the two Soviet countries, will not be worrying. So defeating the Soviet Union is to defeat India and Japan!"

Chang Ruiqing's words seemed to be for Roosevelt to hear. The US President was very dedicated. While talking to Hitler and Mussolini, the two historical counter-revolutionaries, had a great time, and stretched their ears to pay attention to the conversation between Chang Ruiqing and Chamberlain. So as soon as Chang Ruiqing finished speaking, he coughed gently and smiled and said, "Everyone, I think it should be the consensus of our five countries to resolve the Soviet Union first. Mr. Hitler and Mr. Mussolini, you also hold the same view, right?"

Hitler nodded slightly at Roosevelt after hearing this, and then said: "From the map, the only countries that can directly attack the Soviet Union are Germany and China in the East. In the past two years, China and Germany have been fighting hard with the Soviet Union. Although they have achieved considerable victory, they are still far from the evil axis of the eradication of the Soviet Union. Because the Soviet Union is a very, very powerful country. According to the exact information we have, the total strength of the Soviet Red Army has exceeded 20 million! No matter what the weapons and equipment of these troops are, this huge number alone cannot be eliminated in the short term. Therefore, we need more friends to fight against the Soviet Union with us, and at the same time we must be prepared to fight for a long time and open up the third battlefield."

The concept of "third battlefield" was proposed by German General Staff Rudendolf. He called the front battlefield on the Western Front, including the Nordic battlefield and the Balkan battlefield, the "first battlefield"; the battlefield on the eastern front of China and the Soviet Union was called the "second battlefield"; and the "third battlefield" refers to the Middle East battlefield.

Rudendolf also claimed that due to the offensives of the Chinese and German armies on the east and west fronts, the main force of the Soviet army has now shrunk to the first and second battlefields, and its strength in the Middle East is very weak, so it is a good opportunity to open up the third battlefield in the Middle East. Moreover, as long as the Middle East is captured, the anti-Soviet Allied forces can deploy medium- and long-range bombers in Persia and northern Iraq to bomb Baku and Grozny, a major oil town in the Soviet Union. As long as the Soviet oil base is destroyed, the Soviet heavy industry can be paralyzed and the 20 million Red Army lose their necessary weapons and equipment. Therefore, opening up the third battlefield is a necessary means to defeat the Soviet enemy and should be implemented immediately.

Hitler's statement seemed to hit the British, and Chamberlain immediately took over the topic and announced: "The mission of opening up the third battlefield can be completed by the British Empire. We are currently concentrating heavy troops in Egypt, and we will start counterattacking the Middle East at the latest from early December this year! Of course, the empire also hopes to get help from allies."

Roosevelt glanced at Chang Ruiqing with the corner of his eyes and immediately spoke: "The United States is preparing to send an expeditionary force to Egypt after declaring war on the Soviet Union to cooperate with the British counterattack. However, while we declare war on the Soviet Union, we also hope that all the parties to the Anti-Soviet Agreement can declare war on Japan."

The US President's speech was obviously directed at China. Now among the five countries of China, the United States, Britain, Germany and Italy, only China has not declared war on Japan. All eyes and pressure have been focused on Chang Ruiqing, but Chang Ruiqing did not care at all. He picked up a glass of wine and took a sip and smiled and said, "Everyone, there are not only two Soviet powers in the world. There is also a People's Republic of India with a population of 350 million and at least 10 million Red Army. Although everyone here does not recognize this country, it does not mean it does not exist! Now we have 500,000 expeditionary forces fighting India in the East Bangladesh region, and our Central Asia

The front also exchanged fire with the Indian Red Army in the upper reaches of the Amu River. In addition, with our help, Central Asia and Indian Mslins formed a 1 million army to fight against the Indian GCD. It can be said that the pressure of fighting against India, the third largest Soviet country in the world, is all borne by China, and we are also responsible for the pressure to go to war with at least 30% of the Soviet military force. Japan is our neighbor. The declaration of war between China and Japan is not just announcing in vernacular! Do you think China should assume the mission of fighting with most of the Soviet troops in the world? We do not seem to be the most powerful country in the international anti-Soviet camp!"

The banquet hall was silent, and everyone was silent. Chang Ruiqing's words made sense. Although the United States, Britain, Germany and Italy have declared war on Japan. However, Germany and Italy have not actually fought against the Japanese, but only made verbal announcements. The British also hid far away in Australia and the Indian Ocean, and were in a state of declaring no war with Japan. The only one who really started a war with Japan was not under great pressure. The United States actually did not put heavy troops to the first and second battlefields even if they started a war against the Soviet Union.

It is just to send a small number of troops to the third battlefield of the Middle East. The only enemy that the United States really wants to deal with is Japan. On the contrary, China, as well as the Soviet Union, Japan and India, is close neighbors. Once war is declared, it will be a real fight! Now China has already been under the military pressure of almost the entire India and one-third of the Soviet Union. It seems a bit too much to let them bear half of Japan's military power. In order to cope with the pressure from Japan, the main force of the army will be transferred from Siberia and Central Asia to the east. Germany's pressure on the Western Front will be too great!

Moreover, the joint efforts of China and the United States will inevitably lead to a rapid defeat in Japan. The United States, which has escaped from the Pacific Ocean, will inevitably throw its main force to Europe... So Hitler was the first to break the silence after humming twice: "Gentlemen, I think everyone is very clear that Japan is not the main enemy, the main enemy is the Soviet Union! Now the main force of the Chinese team is attacking the Soviet Union. If they transfer their troops from the Soviet Union to Japan at this time, I think that it will prolong the war rather than shorten the time to defeat the Soviet enemy."

Mussolini immediately agreed: "I agree with Prime Minister Hitler's opinion that we should now concentrate our efforts against the Soviet Union, not only strengthen the offensives of the first and second battlefields, but also seize the time to open up the third battlefield."

Before he could speak, Churchill immediately interrupted: "Let us leave the task of opening up the third battlefield. Germany and Italy only need to manage the first battlefield well. China should focus on the second battlefield, while the United States mainly deals with Japan. The Middle East has always been the sphere of influence of our British Empire, so we will regain where we are now."

"But if, ah, what do I mean if the British Empire failed to counterattack against the Middle East?" Hitler suddenly asked Churchill's words.

Churchill cursed in his heart that this greedy German nodded to Hitler and replied: "This kind of thing is impossible! The British Empire is preparing to send 1 million troops to Egypt, and the United States will provide 300,000 troops. At the same time, we will also send 300,000 troops to Ceylon, and the original British and Indian troops on Mumbai and Ceylon Island will have a total of 1.9 million troops to counterattack the Middle East! So it is absolutely impossible to fail!"

Hitler and Chang Ruiqing's faces changed at the same time. They did not expect that the British and Americans had such great determination to counterattack the Middle East, nor did they expect that the British would not allow the Caliph Hussein's army to participate in the counterattack! This means that the Middle East after the war will likely be jointly governed by Britain and the United States, without the share of China and Germany!

Faced with the pressure of the United Kingdom and the United States joining forces, Hitler and Chang Ruiqing exchanged glances, and then said helplessly: "Okay, then we are here to wish Britain and the United States a victory in the Middle East!"

At this end of the banquet, all the guests were no longer interested in food. In the following banquet process, everyone continued to discuss issues that should have been discussed in the meeting in the next few days.

Chamberlain, who had prepared a 1.9 million counterattack army, seemed to be somewhat lacking in confidence, and proposed to China and Germany to launch an attack on the first and second battlefields to cooperate with the British counterattack. Chang Ruiqing and Hitler both looked embarrassed. Finally, when Chamberlain repeatedly guaranteed that the interests of China Ke Petroleum Corporation and Germany's right to exploit oil in Iraq would be protected, these two reluctantly agreed to launch a feint attack on Ukraine and Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan under the control of the Soviet army before the end of 1934 to restrain the Soviet troops.

This result was quite satisfactory to the British, because their 1.6 million army was very rich, with an actual number of less than 1.3 million, including more than 100,000 officers and soldiers serving in the Mediterranean Fleet and the British naval bases in the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean regions. In addition, more than 200,000 Sikhs and Gorga mercenaries brought from India were also included. The British Army and Royal Air Force officers and soldiers who were truly able to go to the battlefield were only more than 90.

Moreover, the equipment and training level of the army troops in these armies is not satisfactory. Without the equipment of strong armored vehicles like the hunter, only the Matilda tanks and cruisers produced by the UK, and the infantry anti-tank weapons are insufficient. If you encounter a powerful Soviet armored force in the Middle East, it will be in danger. So you can only expect China and Germany to attract the main force of the Soviet army and let them get cheap in the Middle East.
