Age of Rebirth

"Opportunity?..." Looking at the unpredictable expression of His Excellency the Head of State, Marshal Strongs realized that he really didn't understand. Since he didn't understand the meaning of the Head of State, then silence is the best way.

Hitler didn't expect that this confidant and beloved general could act like the roundworm in his stomach in everything. If that was the case, he would feel very uncomfortable.

Hitler did not explain, but suddenly said with murderous intent: "Strance, in the name of the General Staff, issued an order to agree with the plan of Rommel, the commander of the South American Army Group, to mobilize heavy troops into the central region of the United States and attack the Japanese. Form an absolute military superiority!"

"At the same time, tell Rommel that if the Japanese dare to obstruct or take any behavior beyond their control, they must resolutely counterattack, and there is no need to consult the country. Strong, as I said, the central region of the United States must It belongs to the German Empire, and now, I am very interested in the western part of the United States!"

The last sentence was the finishing touch. In an instant, Marshal Strong understood why Your Excellency the Führer didn't get angry or explode after receiving Rommel's telegram. It turned out that it was a stupid Japanese. Giving the Führer an excuse to swallow the American West!

"But, my head of state, if the Japanese put all their eggs in one basket, it will be a big war!" Marshal Strong is a soldier. He must remind the head of state from a military point of view that although he is not afraid of the Japanese, he is not afraid of the Japanese in the United States. It is not the best policy to fight the Japanese before the people are completely wiped out!

"Do the Japanese dare? Dare to take action against the German army?" Hitler's mouth showed a trace of undisguised contempt.Said: "If the Japanese really dare to attack the German army, then I don't mind killing all the Japanese on the North American continent before destroying the Americans. Dear Strong, you know, Long Mei You have this ability and this strength, all right. Go and deliver my order!"

Field Marshal Strong walked away with a hint of worry and apprehension, and Hitler smiled.There are many secrets that it is impossible for all subordinates to know, for example, the matter that is about to start.They just need to do their part.That's it!

"Let Himmler come to my office immediately!" Hitler picked up the phone and said a few simple words.

Twenty minutes later, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the office, "Bang bang!" The people in the office were knocked lightly.

"Come in! Himmler!" Hitler shouted peacefully.

Himmler, dressed in SS uniform, appeared in front of Hitler energetically, "My Führer. I don't know what order you have summoned me!" Himmler gave a standard Nazi military salute.asked directly.

This is exactly what Hitler admired Himmler very much. In front of him, this loyal old subordinate never talked nonsense, and, for his own instructions, he never hesitated to implement them, never Suspect!

Hitler looked at Himmler with a smile, and said slowly: "Himmler, I have one thing for you, this is the order given to Rommel just now, and the plan reported by Rommel to mobilize heavy troops in the central region of the United States , you immediately send this order and the original text of the Rommel plan verbatim to my old Chinese friend Tang Qiuli through the secret radio station, and at the end of the telegram, tell him what the Japanese did, It's beyond the limit of my patience!"

"Okay, my Führer, carry out your orders immediately!" Himmler took the two telegrams, saluted, and turned to leave. However, in the corridor of the Führer's office, he glanced at the contents of the telegrams. , an idea immediately came to mind, "It seems that the head of state is going to attack those annoying Japanese!"

However, this matter obviously has little to do with him. As for Your Excellency the Führer, why did you attack the Japanese who are still allies? Himmler did not see the telegram sent by Rommel. The content of the previous part is also Hitler’s control One of the methods, every party, government and army officer in Germany only needs to know what they should know, unless they want everyone to know!

In the office, Hitler was considering whether to ask Foreign Minister Ribbentrop to express to the Japanese the anger of Germany through diplomatic channels, and to make some superficial articles, but then he denied his idea. Since he wanted to use The stupidity of the Japanese, swallowing the American West, then there is no need to do it.

If the Japanese, in the face of Germany's strong protests and military pressure, take concessions and give up the fight for the interests of the central United States, then it is a matter of course to continue to occupy the western United States. After all, it was brought down by the Japanese , so it is not beautiful, let the Japanese swallow the bitter fruit for their own stupidity!

"Hehehe!" At this moment, Hitler smiled sinisterly and triumphantly.

In Tokyo, Japan, in the Emperor's Palace, an urgent imperial military meeting is being held in the meeting room. The atmosphere in the meeting place is very heavy. The two-time Japanese military and political leaders who participated in the meeting all looked worried.

The cause was the telegram sent by the commander of the Imperial North American Combat Command, General Yamamoto, about the conflict with the Germans in the central part of the United States during the war against the United States.

This telegram, like a mountain, weighed heavily on the hearts of Emperor Hirohito and a group of bigwigs. The Japanese can be arrogant, overconfident, and greedy, but they are not fools, let alone idiots.

If there are two people in this world who absolutely cannot be offended, or in other words, with Japan’s current national strength, they cannot be offended, one is the sworn enemy of the Great Japanese Empire, that Chinese American Tang Qiuli, and the other is not Hitler, the head of state of Germany none other than.

The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's army of several million gathered in the Indochina Peninsula. Fortunately, he seemed to have no intention of provoking any trouble. He was indifferent to the war that took place on the other side of the ocean, which made the Japanese feel a little relieved.

But this guy Yamamoto 56 has now provoked the Germans, whom the Empire of Japan didn’t even want to provoke and did not dare to provoke. He not only sent troops to rob the Germans’ territory, but also killed and injured more than 500 German soldiers. It's definitely a big hit!

The Empire of Japan can fight with anyone, but it doesn't have the capital to deal with the Germans. The two sides are not in the same weight class at all. Otherwise, the Germans will not be drawn together to deal with the United States.

Emperor Hirohito knew this very well. Therefore, after seeing Yamamoto's telegram, he immediately became overwhelmed and confused. He really asked Yamamoto to occupy the central part of the United States as his only task and divide the United States with the Germans. , and the Empire of Japan can occupy the second. This is an established strategy and cannot be changed.

But the premise is that the imperial army preemptively occupied the central region of the United States, instead of snatching from the Germans as it is now, killing and wounding German soldiers, and encircling three 10,000+ German troops. Yamamoto’s approach is similar to Attacking the Germans made no difference, already touched Hitler's bottom line.

Emperor Hirohito himself didn't know how to deal with the aftermath of this matter, so he summoned all his ministers to discuss, "My dear friends, you have listened to the contents of Aiqing Yamamoto's telegram, what should you do?" After the official read the telegram, Emperor Hirohito asked expectantly.

There was a moment of silence, all the ministers, none of them spoke, not because they didn’t want to express their opinions, but because this matter was too big, that guy Yamamoto was really a restless master, he actually did something to the Germans, with the current arrogance of the Germans And strength, how can this matter be improved?

The Japanese army minister and chief of staff of the base camp, General Mitsuko Minai, his mind was churning violently. It is said that Yamamoto, a member of the Navy, has caused such a big trouble. He should be happy. , are not normal.

However, when it comes to conflicts of interest between countries, Minai Koichi's thinking temporarily breaks free from the old grievances of the factional disputes between the army and the navy. He must exhaust his wisdom and think hard about the future and destiny of the Japanese Empire. in order to bring the Empire out of this crisis.

What's more, it is His Majesty's great wish to occupy the central part of the United States. Yamamoto is only executing an edict. If he takes the opportunity to make trouble, he will not only displease His Majesty, but also arouse the hatred of his colleagues. The pros and cons of it, Minai The general was very clear in his heart.

After thinking about it, General Minai still felt that he should stand up and speak out, who made himself No. 1 in the imperial army!

Minai stood up together, bowed deeply to Hirohito, and then said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, the conflict with the Germans on the battlefield in the central United States is a foregone conclusion, regardless of the relevant command of the Imperial North American War Command Officer, no punishment will help, what we need to consider now is how to deal with the aftermath!"

Emperor Hirohito's eyes lit up when he saw the top military man standing up to speak, and what made him even more gratified was that Miuchi Koichi did not take the opportunity to make things worse and severely hit the navy department. big picture!

"Aiqing Minai, I am so relieved that you can say that!" Emperor Hirohito said kindly: "The purpose of my convening this imperial meeting is to deal with the aftermath. Aiqing Minai, you can speak out as much as you want!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!" Minai Koichi bowed again, and then said: "In my opinion, first, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will immediately send a special person to form a delegation to Germany to explain the work, in order to obtain the understanding of the Germans, and You can promise to pay the highest amount of compensation to the casualties of the German soldiers!"

"Secondly, the imperial army can take a step back and give up half of the central area of ​​the United States currently occupied by the Germans. In this way, the excuse for the Germans to retaliate will be eliminated. This is my humble opinion. Please also His Majesty the Emperor decides!"
