Age of Rebirth

Of course Ribbentrop understood, "My head of state really needs careful study. I will first organize the relevant departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to conduct careful research before submitting a report to you. It may take a little longer. I hope you can understand the head of state! "

"I understand very much! And I am very satisfied with the work efficiency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" Hitler said with a smile.

After Ribbentrop left the official residence of the head of state, he didn't go back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at all, and ran back home directly to enjoy the family happiness with his wife and children.

This study lasted another three days, and Heisaburo Kaga was going crazy. He went to the German Foreign Office every day to ask about the results. Ribbentrop did not avoid it on purpose, but his answer was just a few words, "The head of state and the relevant The staff of the department are studying your country's negotiation conditions, and I believe there will be results soon!"

Another three days passed, and the Germans were still studying, but there was an urgent call every day in Japan, asking about the results of the negotiations. Kaga Heisaburo once again walked into Ribbentrop's office and looked at this old fox-like German diplomat. Minister, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, he jumped up and blatantly accused the Germans, his face turned purple with excitement, and his saliva flew around. If you don't know the inside story, you think he has been greatly wronged?

Ribbentrop is absolutely good-natured. Facing the angry Kaga Heisaburo, he was neither in a hurry nor annoyed, with a surprisingly gentle attitude, a face of sympathy and helplessness, and a look of regret that he could not help, which made Kaga Heisaburo angry. Nowhere to vent!

After getting the reply of "still studying" again, Kaga Heisaburo walked away dejectedly, and Ribbentrop immediately changed his face, and angrily dropped the coffee cup in his hand.He hit the ground fiercely, who said he has no temper.If it weren't for the benefit of Germany, it would be this thin and dry.A bald Japanese man dares to show his teeth and claws in his office?

After returning to the hotel, Kaga Heisaburo, who was in an extremely bad mood, first called together a dozen of his entourage, drove them away after a scolding meal, and sat on the sofa thinking about it. By this time, he had already seen that the Germans Ghost thoughts.What research, nonsense plus nonsense!

A week has passed, and there are only a few clauses, but there is still no result. You Germans are not as stupid as pigs, are you? This is obviously to slow down your rhythm!

Kaga Heisaburo knew why the Germans resorted to the "dragging" tactic. There was only one reason, the interests of the Japanese Empire.It didn't impress the hearts of the Germans. In other words, the appetite of the Germans was much greater than previously expected by the top officials of the empire!

Now the biggest problem is.I don't know what the bottom line of the Germans is, and I can't take targeted measures. After a night of half-asleep and half-awake, tossing and turning.Early the next morning, Kaga Heisaburo rushed to the German Foreign Office.Seeing Ribbentrop, he immediately asked: "Mr. Minister, there is no need to go around in circles between us. Please explain clearly, what is Germany's bottom line?"

"I'm in a hurry! I can't hold my breath anymore!" Ribbentrop smiled secretly, with a very surprised expression on his face, "Mr. Chief Representative, I don't understand what you are talking about. Your country asked for negotiations. Your terms , the head of state is studying, why do you say it is the bottom line of our Germany, are you mistaken? In your capacity, saying such a thing will hurt the ally relationship between Germany and Japan!"

In front of Ribbentrop, Kaga Heisaburo could not take advantage of any advantages, so he could only go back to the hotel dejectedly. After thinking about it again and again, he felt that negotiating with the Germans should not be delayed any longer. The Germans delayed. Domestic pressure, the one who is uncomfortable in the middle is myself.

Therefore, Kaga drafted a telegram to the country, except for the detailed embrace, all the details after arriving in Germany, of course, concealed the scandal of being drunk and drunk, and at the end of the telegram, He wrote: "To sum up, the Germans have very big plans for the interests of North America. The conditions of the previous empire are obviously unacceptable to the Germans!"

"In order to promote the conclusion of the negotiation as soon as possible, please carefully consider whether to change our conditions and make greater concessions to meet the requirements of the Germans. The above are only my personal suggestions!"

After Kaga's telegram arrived in Tokyo, it immediately caused an uproar among the top decision-makers in Japan. First, Emperor Hirohito, who was so angry that his face was blue, yelled at the Germans for taking advantage of others. Hitler is an out-and-out villain. , with an unprecedented and unanimous attitude, they will stick to the bottom line of the Great Japanese Empire and will no longer make any concessions on the interests of North America.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately called Kaga back, "Given the endless greedy appetite of the Germans, the Empire will not make any further concessions on the interests of North America. The previous conditions are already the last bottom line of the Empire. Seek to negotiate with the Germans!"

After receiving the instructions from the country, Kaga Gensaburo breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the yàoshi country does not force him to negotiate, he is too lazy to deal with the fox-like cunning German foreign minister every day. I'm suffocated to death.Coming back with nothing, that feeling is not human!

For two days in a row, I didn't see the Japanese Kaga Heisaburo coming to the door to chat. Ribbentrop was not used to it. After quietly inquiring, he found out that the Japanese delegation of more than a dozen people was going to the outskirts of Berlin to play. up.

Although Ribbentrop couldn't figure it out, how could the Japanese, who were so anxious to go to the house a few days ago, have the leisure to go sightseeing? However, if the Japanese don't take the initiative to come to them, let alone I will take the initiative to strike up a conversation, anyway, I am not in a hurry!

Kaga Heisaburo and Ribbentrop both had time to play more patient games, but they shouted that the interests of the Great Japanese Empire in North America, Emperor Hirohito and the big bosses in the base camp who would never give in, couldn't bear it. It's hard, talking can't solve the actual problems on the battlefield, and it can't change the decline of the imperial army.

On the battlefields of the various islands in the Southwest Pacific, the situation that is unfavorable to the imperial defenders has become more and more serious. Although the chief of the general staff of the base battalion in charge of retreating the defenders, General Mi Neiguang, adopted the suggestion of Prince Zain and tried every means to almost All the large bathtubs have been requisitioned, but the final calculation results show that there is still a gap of about one-fifth in the ships that transport the Imperial Army troops to evacuate.

This also means that there will be 10,000+ people in the imperial army on the various islands in the Southwest Pacific Ocean without boats. Among them, the shortage of transportation boats in Luzon Island and Mindanao Island is the most serious. This is still a boat problem, and another is imminent. The problem is that the imperial defenders on the various islands face the oppression of China's independent division troops, strong troops and superior equipment.

The imperial defenders on various battlefields in the Southwest Pacific retreated all the way. Now, most of them are gathered in the southern regions of the islands. danger of annihilation.

After asking Emperor Hirohito for instructions, General Mitsuko Minai, in the name of the General Staff of the headquarters, issued an order to the Japanese commanders on various battlefields in the Southwest Pacific, "From now on, we will begin to withdraw troops in batches. The principle is that no matter which troops When you arrive at the assembly point, immediately board the ship and retreat!" In a word, one group at a time and one group at a time.

From the end of June, the Japanese troops from all over the country began to retreat towards Australia one after another. The Japanese base camp, including Minai Koichi, did not know that Tang Qiuli had already formulated a plan to intercept and kill all the warships of the independent division fleet, divided into several combat units, Going deep into the inland sea between the various islands, just waiting for the troop carrier full of Japanese infantry to arrive, to have a one-pot end, this is much less loss than fighting an annihilation battle on land.

At the same time, Le Yiqin's aviation Southern Flying Group also transferred the main combat force to the new occupied area one after another, and expanded the field airport on a large scale. His headquarters also moved to Sumatra Island.

The offensives of the various corps of the Independent Division are also proceeding according to the scheduled plan. The Marine Corps Hantie Division, which is responsible for attacking Luzon Island, captured Manila on June 23 and oppressed more than [-] Japanese troops to the southern area of ​​Luzon Island. .

On the same day, the No.20 Ninth Corps Jingzhan Banner, which was in charge of attacking Mindanao, captured Davao, the capital of Mindanao, and captured the first part of the No.30 Fifth Division of the Japanese Mindanao garrison in the Digos area south of Davao. , about [-] people, are being surrounded!

The eight brigades directly under the corps and the first, second, third and fourth brigades of the Songhu Garrison Corps, a total of twelve brigades, under the command of the division chief of staff Zhao Yuhe, were stationed in Baba, northern Sumatra. Yan Yabi landed on the first line and divided the Seventh and Ninth Divisions of the Japanese defenders on Sumatra Island into two parts. They are currently being pursued. After the division commander Tang Qiuli arrived in Sumatra Island, he began to command the overall combat operations.

On June 25, the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, Feng Jiwu's Division, and the Songhu Garrison Corps, Jiang Yanming's troops, captured the capital of Kalimantan Island, Samarinda, and compressed the Japanese garrison to the south. Prahari area.

Afterwards, Jiang Yanming's Songhu Garrison Corps crossed the Makassar Strait, attacked Sulawesi Island, and under the cover of the fleet and aviation, successfully landed and defeated Sulawesi Island to the Japanese garrison. The regiment's blocking, advancing in depth.

The Ma Chaoyang Division of the Southeast Mobile Corps, which was in charge of attacking Java Island, captured Jakarta, the capital of Java Island, on June 26, and oppressed the Japanese troops defending the island to the southeast of Malang.

Yuan Jinghao’s unit of the North China Field Corps, which was in charge of attacking Irian Island, captured the capital of Irian Island, Moresby, on June 27, and defended the Japanese army. Otherwise, Yuan Jinghao is sure to take over the Japanese army on Irian Island!

By the end of June, the Japanese army had been completely defeated on the battlefields of the islands in the Southwest Pacific. After Tang Qiuli recovered, he took over the command from Zhao Yuhe. Yes, it is a great battlefield situation.
