In 1936, Hirohito made a long-planned and meticulous political reform, changing the medal on the Japanese Empire's Order from the original "Japan Empire" to the "Emperor of the Great Japanese Empire".

How to say it?

...

After the State Administration of Intelligence and the Central Military Intelligence Department all transferred the focus of intelligence work to the Japanese region, various intelligence collected from Japan increasingly proved that Japan was going to attack Sanduo Ao and formulated a combat plan, although this plan was still

Without sufficient understanding, the Central Military Commission still found out through its own multiple speculations that Japan could adopt three most probable tactical plans.

No matter which tactical plan it is, the Japanese army has a difficult problem to solve, that is, if its fighter jets and carrier-based torpedo bombers want to enter Sanduoao for combat, their aircraft carrier cluster will inevitably be no more than 300 kilometers away from the mainland of the Empire.

Above this distance, the Imperial Air Force and Navy have extremely strong counterattack strength.

This means that Japan will succeed if it fails. As long as it comes, it will never be able to escape.

If the Japanese aircraft carrier cluster wants to escape the counterattack after the attack, it will have at least five hours of flight. If the carrier-based aircraft cluster needs to return, the time will be as long as 7 hours. In such a long time, the Imperial Air Force has drawn from the local area.

If fighter jets rushed to the southeastern waters to fight, they could also smash the Japanese Navy aircraft carrier cluster.

There is no doubt that this is also the best time to defeat the main force of the Japanese Navy.

The Central Military Commission certainly hopes to induce Japan to adopt this extremely risky strategy, but to deceive Japan, it is necessary to give enough bait. Even if we know that Japan is planning this matter and preparing to declare war on China in a comprehensive manner, the Military Commission will remain normal.

In the situation, the military headquarters did not send new troops on the battlefields of North and South Korea.

It seems like everything is normal.

Gu Weijun's central cabinet continued to work hard to delay the war, trying as much as possible to force Japan and South Korea to recognize the legitimacy of the Northern North Korean government, or even if it does not recognize it, it would not take extreme measures such as war.

The war has obviously arrived and it is impossible to avoid it. Japan will not accept a situation where there is no Korean colony. They would rather fight for it. Today, today, tomorrow, and tomorrow, what will Japan have left in the end?

Since the Chinese Empire has always adopted this kind of gradual suppression and cutting tactic of boiling frogs with warm fire, Japan might as well burst out all its strength suddenly, smashing the Chinese Empire's navy in one battle, making Japan truly a powerful country in the world and domineering.

The whole of East Asia.

Japan came in vain and silently.

The Japanese cabinet is also working hard, hoping to resolve the North Korean issue through peace talks and stop the adventurous opportunism of the military. However, at this point, although Fumikoto Kobe met and negotiated in person in Pyongyang, the two failed to reach a conclusion that Japan could basically satisfy

conditions.

After March 1939, the Sino-Japanese War became inevitable.

At the same time, with Gu Weijun's strong persuasion, Poland agreed to accept Germany's alliance treaty. Although this treaty basically declared that Poland had lost its diplomatic and military autonomy, it could at least preserve the Republic of Poland.

In order to force Poland to sign this mandatory so-called alliance treaty, Germany forcibly annexed the entire Czechoslovakia. Previously, Gu Weijun reached an oral agreement with Hitler, and Hitler promised not to annex the non-German-speaking Czech Republic.

The promise is always a lie to Hitler.

Of course Gu Weijun was very angry, but he had no choice but to sit still. He could only wait and see Germany use the alliance treaty to force Poland to be under his wings, and also incorporate the Czech Republic into the territory of Nazi Germany, because Germany used the alliance treaty, and Britain and France formed an alliance with Germany and Poland.

It cannot be stopped, and at the same time, it also hopes to pour the Nazi disaster on the Soviet Union.

It was precisely under the condolence of the appeasement and tolerance policy of China, Britain and France that Nazi Germany had the conditions to launch an attack on the Soviet Union. Of course, if Nazi Germany suddenly turned its gun and launched an attack on France, it would be truly terrible.

Although Nazi Germany's sudden attack on France now caught France off guard, in terms of military and international political environment, this is the worst choice. It depends on how Hitler himself weighs the trade-offs. He can expand according to normal logic and rely on China first

How would it be a strategic plan to defeat the Soviet Union, occupy the Soviet Union, and then use the Soviet Union's resources and heavy industrial base to attack France? Even if Britain and the United States want to stop it, the price they pay will be unprecedentedly astonishing.

Before Nazi Germany decided the final direction, on March 4, 1939, General Hermann Goring, Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, visited China as the special envoy of the Head of Hitler, out of importance to Commander-in-Chief of Hermann Goring.

Gu Weijun sent Foreign Minister Guo Taiqi to the airport to greet him in person.

At the Central Government Building, Commander-in-Chief Hermann Goring and Prime Minister Gu Weijun held talks. On the afternoon of the next day, he got the opportunity to formally go to the Ziguang Hall of the Central Palace to meet His Majesty Hua.

Among the palace groups of the Central Palace, the status of the Ziguang Hall is second only to the Huangji Hall and the Taihe Hall. These three halls are ranked as the first three halls, while the Ziguang Hall is dedicated to meeting guests at the level of foreign heads of state, allowing Hermann.

Gorene received an audience at the Tsinghua Temple, which was a special courtesy to him.

That afternoon, Song Biao also arrived at Longli Pavilion in Ziguang Hall twenty minutes in advance to prepare for the preparations.

Longli Pavilion is a place to receive foreign heads of state, so it does not emphasize the etiquette of the monarch and ministers like the Huangji Hall and Taihe Hall. The emperor's dragon chaise is not more luxurious in terms of level than the seats of the foreign head of state. The overall decoration is naturally exquisite and luxurious.

, demonstrating the prosperity and strength of the empire.

When General Hermann Goring walked into Longli Pavilion, Song Biao also stood in front of the dragon throne to greet him. When he led the German visiting delegation to bow and salute, Song Biao reached out and shook hands with him.

After shaking hands with other visitors, they were invited to sit down.

The Nazi diplomatic lineup that accompanied Hermann Goring to visit this time was extremely luxurious. Not only were the newly appointed Deputy Minister of the German Foreign Ministry Joachim von Ribbentrop, and the commander of the German submarine fleet, Karl Deng.

Nitz, as well as Nazi Party’s thought leader Alfred Rosenberg, Chief Deputy Chief of Staff of the German Army Department Major General Fritz von Manstein.

Such a luxurious lineup was of course not for the so-called friendship. Nazi Germany had already begun to prepare for attacking the Soviet Union, and Alfred Rosenberg's "Eastern Colony" theory was the dominant idea of ​​Germany's attack on the Soviet Union.

According to Rosenberg's conception, Germany would occupy Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, establish a huge rear colony, and at the same time fight against Britain and France in the front until it conquered the entire Europe and became the new world hegemon on the basis of the Lord of Europe.

Joachim von Ribbentrop is a special Nazi diplomat. The Iron and Steel Alliance of the Axis Powers of Germany, Italy and Japan was his great merit, and of course it completely pulled Germany into hell.

Even now, Ribbentrop still supports the alliance between Germany and Italy and prepares for fighting with Britain and France. Compared with Hermann Goring, Alfred Rosenberg and others, Joachi supports the eastward expansion route.

M Ribbintrov insisted on going to war with Britain and France first, and then attacking the Soviet Union after defeating Britain and France.

Song Biao is still not sure why this person was involved in the visit.

Commander-in-Chief Hermann Goring praised the Emperor of China as always. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to praise him: "Great Emperor of China, this is my first visit to your territory and set foot on this great one.

My soul has been sublimated in the ancient Eastern Empire. In my eyes, this is completely your greatness. The empire is definitely worthy of the honorific title of the most powerful empire in human history."

Song Biao accepted the praise with a smile and thanked Hermann Goring: "You can visit our country in person and see what the real Eastern Empire looks like. I am still very happy about it. I am very welcome.

.I once said that if you have time to visit our country, I will definitely accompany you to visit some places that truly represent our empire. Our Chinese nation is a nation that attaches great importance to commitments. More than two thousand years ago

During the Qin Empire, we had an allusion that promised a thousand gold, saying that a promise was more important than a thousand taels of gold. For a country like us, the emperor's promise was even more true and we would never regret it. So, I know you want it.

After visiting China, I asked the inner court to arrange six good tourist attractions and areas. At that time, I will accompany you everywhere and take a look, and I hope you can make the trip worthwhile."

Such treatment should have never been seen in the history of the empire. Hermann Goring was extremely surprised when he heard it and exclaimed: "His Majesty the Great Emperor, this is really my lifelong honor!"

Song Biao said: "China is a country that is grateful for gratitude. This is the inheritance and morality of a nation. Without Germany's ten years of support before World War I, the empire could not have risen to become the largest country in Asia, although it is a pity.

, due to some differences, China and Germany eventually took different directions during World War I, but this did not change our welcome and gratitude to Germany. The war is cruel, and there is no right or wrong.

There is no distinction between friends and enemies, but without war, China and Germany will still be very important countries of cooperation and friendship."

Hermann Goring praised: "The Chinese are really a great nation, and the Chinese Empire is also one of the greatest and glorious empires in the world. We Germans are also sincerely proud of having such a country of friends."

Song Biao nodded and went straight to the point: "I am a person who doesn't like to talk nonsense. The Prime Minister has conveyed to me some of your ideas and goals for this time, about your request to visit the Imperial Defense Forces, and

In principle, we fully agree with the requirements for carrying out more cooperation. As for some discussions, exchanges and coordination between the two countries on foreign policy, I think Premier Gu has explained it to you more clearly, Italy is here to us.

It is not an important enemy, we just don't want any country to invade East Africa. In the entire Indian Ocean region, China is hoping to establish a free environment. Based on some explanations from Prime Minister Gu, I will say a little more about this.

First of all, we do not oppose the alliance between Germany and Italy, and there is no reason or power to interfere in this matter. But I personally want to remind German friends that in the East African War, we have fully proved that Italy is a country with insufficient success and failure,

Military, they were useless, but they wanted to re-establish a new Roman empire. To be precise, most Italians did not have this idea at all, but the Italian fascist party and their leaders thought so. If Germany and Italy allied,

Italy will expand to East Africa and the Balkans, which we absolutely do not allow. If Germany cannot effectively limit this matter, we will send troops to attack Italy before Italy expands its military to the Asian League, and it will definitely not

Leave any room for attack. In the Asian League and surrounding areas, the empire will never allow any country to establish colonial hegemony, nor will it allow any country to threaten the security of the Asian League. Italy's so-called new Roman Empire will directly threaten the Asian League's Middle East

And West Asian countries, and this is the center of interest of the empire, it is absolutely impossible for the empire to sit and watch Italy's expansion."

Speaking of this, Song Biao paused for a moment, and added Hermann Goring: "I hope you can understand my straightforwardness. Maybe we should first talk about some very friendly topics, but obviously, friendly topics are always

There is not much need to negotiate. As long as both parties are willing to cooperate, cooperation is always infinite. So, our only difference is to treat Italy. Simply put, I like Germany, but I hate Italy, Germany and our country.

There is a wide space for strategic cooperation, while Italy and our country only have competition. If Germany needs allies, my suggestion is that Germany can find allies willing to work together among weak bullied countries, rather than Italy, which seems powerful, but in fact

Weak and incompetent countries, but too many ambitions, will always cause endless troubles.”

Hermann Goring nodded in agreement and said, "My opinion on this matter is surprisingly similar to yours. Recently, we have also noticed that Japan seems to have challenged your country's authority in Asia, and it is not ruled out that Japan will

Start a stupid war, I would like to know your opinion on this regard."

Song Biao thought for a while and replied: "For our neighbors, peace is always the best thing to live in peace. We will try our best to coordinate and negotiate with Japan to strive for a not-too-bad result. As for the war, I

I guess Japan has this kind of courage, but it is hard to say whether they have this strength. In short, we should still talk more with our opponents. Negotiations can often solve the most complex problems, but it just requires more patience."

Hermann Goring still praised: "You are very right."

During the conversation with Hermann Goring, Song Biao consciously looked at Joachim Ribbintrov more, and felt his face looked ugly.

There is never a lack of ambition in this world, seemingly smart, but in fact, stupid people like pigs. Joachim Ribbintrov is such a person. No matter how you look at him actively promoting the German-Italy Steel Alliance, it is the same.

The stupidest idea.

Joachim Ribbentrop, a man who is very proud of himself. He has always had a deep hatred towards the British and always constantly proposes that Hitler attack Britain and France first. What is strange is that Hitler is against this person

It has always had a very special favor.

For China, Britain and the United States, of course, everyone should try their best to encourage Nazi Germany to invade the Soviet Union. If Nazi Germany must want to expand, it will always be the best thing to let the two madmen of the Soviet Union fight to the death.

For China, China's ideas may not be the same as Britain and the United States, because China and Germany are too far away. They hope that Germany will drag Britain, France and the United States into the sea together, and will completely destroy the entire European industry.

Although such a result will not benefit China, China's position as the world's number one hegemony will no longer be shaken.

Therefore, China should not only encourage Germany to fight the Soviet Union, but also provide Germany with more reliable and advanced new technologies, new equipment and new tactical ideas to help Germany rage the entire Europe.

Of course, Germany knew that the Empire was also studying missiles and jet aircraft. As for the results, Germany was not clear about it, but it was very hoped to personally send the highest envoy to visit, and propose bidirectional exchanges and joint development, make progress together, and fight the Soviet Union together.

The Empire not only did not object, but also welcomed this kind of exchange.

After all, China and Germany are too far away, and the possibility of direct war is too low. If Germany can be provided with some technology, exchange and gain something from each other, and support Germany to mess up Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and France, what is the pleasure of China?
