Chapter 1564 The Japanese leaving a way out 2

After losing the original German Pacific Islands, the base of the US fleet can advance thousands of kilometers directly from Hawaii in the Pacific! It is even possible to deploy the base of the Pacific Fleet here. This is undoubtedly equivalent to putting a sharp blade at the waist of the Japanese. As long as the situation changes slightly, the Americans can easily cut off the East Indies and the East Indies under Japanese control. This severing of the connection between the mainland has nothing to do with the battle of the Grand Fleet! Just rely on submarines! Therefore, after giving up the German East Indies, the strategic offensive momentum of both sides was completely reversed!

"If this matter can be settled by just losing the original German Pacific colonies, that would undoubtedly be the best! But I am afraid that virtue will not be satisfied." Yamamoto Gonbei shook his head and said.

"This doesn't work? What else do they want to do?!" Shanxian Youpeng suddenly raised his voice, and the anger in his words was like an erupting volcano.

"Haha, we and the Americans are mortal enemies. What do you think they want to do?" Yamamoto Gonbei glanced at the other party and said. "If possible, I naturally hope that we will be killed!"

"I feel that the Germans are definitely unwilling. After all, after the war, Britain and France will inevitably weaken, and they will focus on Europe. If the Far East does not have enough power to compete with the United States, then European countries, whether it is Britain, France or Germany and Austria, will Affected. This is definitely not the result that the Germans want to see." Yamagata Aritomo said.

"What Mr. Yamagata said makes sense. This is why we will not be killed. The Germans will keep their promises to help the United States take back the former German Pacific Islands. Of course, this is not only because of commitments and treaties, but more importantly It is economic interests. We cannot resist this, but it is hard to say whether it will join the United States in forcing us to spit out the colonies of the Dutch East Indies!" said Gongwang of Saionji Temple.

"But even if we spit it out, the Americans have no reason to occupy it. If we spit it out, it will be returned to the Netherlands. If the United States and Germany dare to divide it among themselves, it will be notorious in international public opinion." Yamaxian Youpeng When I said this, I obviously didn’t expect that Japan is not clean either!

"Judging from the current situation, the Germans seem to have no territorial claims to the Far East, and considering the attitude of the Netherlands towards Germany, I think they are willing to obtain for their quasi-allies through an action of subduing troops without fighting. Some interests, as for the Americans? I feel that they may not have territorial claims here either." Xiyuanji Gongwang said.

I have to say that Xiyuanji Temple’s public opinion is very vicious! Americans may really just have to do a living**! In fact, compared to other capitalist powers, the Americans did not seem to have that much of a territorial claim after entering the 20th century. They were more concerned about economic interests and strategic considerations. After the end of World War I, when the United States and Japan When there was a dispute over the Pacific islands, the Americans launched a seven-wound punch and proposed a plan to return the former German Pacific colonies to Germany.

Of course, this is just a proposal. Not to mention Japan, even Britain and France will not agree to it.

But from this incident, we can see the attitude of the United States towards Japan, that is, I may not take advantage, but you must suffer... If you look at it from this perspective, the possibility of the United States doing this is very high! After all, it is obviously better for the Netherlands to control the East Indies than Japan, and the Netherlands may even offer some benefits in order to thank them for their virtue! What's more, the Netherlands provided a lot of help to Germany during the war (mainly in the re-export trade), and Germany also needs to reward this little brother.

From this point of view, the military threat of the United States and the redistribution of the colonies occupied by Japan to the three countries is definitely the best result. The three people here all believe that if they stand from the other side's perspective, this must be done. .

"The Dutch East Indies are different from the German islands in the Pacific. These places are vast. If they want to occupy these areas, it is impossible to rely on the navy alone. They must rely on the army, and the army means mass casualties, even if the Germans The army is the best in the world, and they will never cross the ocean to fight in Southeast Asia again after experiencing World War I. Apart from anything else, the heat and malaria in Southeast Asia are enough for the Germans to endure," said Aritomo Yamagata. .

Friends from Shanxian County can’t be wrong when they say this. After all, even NB’s army has its moments when it can’t adapt to the climate. Malaria is something that no army fighting in Southeast Asia can ignore, and quinine, the specific drug for treating malaria, is mainly produced here. , So, this is embarrassing. Before there was no synthetic quinine, the Japanese controlled the main production area of ​​this drug. Therefore, considering the special conditions in the tropics, this kind of non-combat attrition is even more terrifying than the combat attrition!

"If it really comes to the point where we need to use the army to drag down our opponent to death, we have actually lost." Xiyuanji Gongwang helplessly shook his head. "Because by that time, our sea lines of communication should have been cut off by the United States and the United States. Even the best result for the combined fleet is to huddle in the Philippines or a port in the mainland and linger. And if there is a big fight, Virtue can withstand this loss, and no matter what the outcome, we will be set back at least 10 years or more!"

"So it seems that this is an unsolvable situation? In that case, why are you looking for us? It's not to let the empire prepare for the funeral, right?" Shanxian Youpeng said.

"That's not the case. The worst result is that the achievements of the empire's southward march in the past two years are in vain. If we give up these two places, virtue will never push too far. The Americans' money is not enough to make Germany People thousands of miles away are trying their best to fight us, and at the same time, Germany is not willing to let the United States dominate."

"There is an old saying in China, what is lost is harvested in the east. If our expansion in the south is doomed to end in failure, then we can also make up for it in the north. Russia's defeat is also good news for us." After Yuan Temple Gongwang finished speaking, he looked at Shanxian Youpeng.

"Are you talking about the Outer Xing'an Mountains, Vladivostok, and the entire Sakhalin Island?" Youpeng from Shanxian County said.

"Yes, these areas are still of some use. We can't control further north, and those areas are also worthless. There is no meat left in the food, but it has a taste." Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple nodded and said.

"I have long said that advancing north is more impressive than advancing south, and some people always like to be smart." Shanxian Youpeng's words were full of the tone of a winner.
