Chapter 500 Tiger, Tiger, Tiger 4

"President, the Imperial Council of Japan held on July 10 this year has adopted a new national policy outline called the "Imperial National Policy Outline to Adapt to Changing Situations," and this is a copy."

U.S. Secretary of State Hull placed a stack of handwritten documents on the large desk in front of President Roosevelt. President Roosevelt was stunned for a moment, immediately took out his reading glasses and put them on, then picked up the document and read it carefully.

The document is written in Japanese, Russian and English. The Japanese is obviously the original text, and the Russian and English are the translations.

"This..." Roosevelt looked up at Hull, "was it given by Litvinov?"

"The Soviet ambassador personally handed it to me!" Hull said. "Litvinov said that there are secret party members of the Third International within the Japanese government, and they have a high status and have access to the highest secrets."

The secret party member of the Third International was named Ozaki Hidemi, and he was the secretary of former Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro. Through him, the intelligence personnel of the Third International stationed in Japan obtained the "Outline of Imperial National Policy to Adapt to Changing Situations" at the first opportunity.

Different from the situation in history, now the Soviet Union and the United States are about to wear a pair of trousers, so Stalin asked Litvinov to make a copy of the "Outline of the Imperial State Policy to Adapt to the Changing Situation" and gave it to the U.S. Secretary of State Hull. . Hull got the document and rushed to the White House immediately.

This "outline" mainly contains two aspects. The first is to strengthen war preparations against the Soviet Union. Sixteen elite divisions were deployed in Manchuria and North Korea, ready to forcibly solve the northern problem if necessary.

"Cordell, do you know how many people there are in the Soviet Far East Front?" President Roosevelt asked with a frown.

Hull replied: "Litvinov told me that the Soviet Union has deployed three army groups, one air force group and one mechanized army in the Far East. In addition, it has deployed one group army in Mongolia."

The Soviet Red Army's main war preparation direction is now the west, so there are not many troops stationed in the Far East. The Army has only 3 group armies and 1 mechanized corps. Its strength includes 25 infantry divisions, 5 cavalry divisions and 4 tank brigades. In addition, there are 3 infantry divisions, 2 cavalry divisions and 1 tank brigade in Mongolia. There are only 35 divisions and 5 brigades in total, and these troops are not full. The actual number is only 500,000-600,000. They only have more than 2,300 tanks, and there are no KV1, KV2 and T34, they are all T-26 and light tanks like the BT-5. There are also 1,700 combat aircraft, most of which are old models that have been eliminated by the Soviet Army in the west.

But even so, this force is not something that 16 Japanese divisions can deal with. The Japanese's "forced solution when necessary" is just a Japanese language art, because the "necessary" time is not a definite time at all - the Soviets made an annotation next to this paragraph, explaining that Japan is actually There is no intention to go north or west.

Seeing Roosevelt's confusion, Hull added: "Litvinov also told me that the Bolshevik Party and Government Bureau of the Soviet Union had made a decision to store a large amount of obsolete weapons, equipment and ammunition in Siberia in case of emergency. ”

The weapons and equipment that have been eliminated are mainly light tanks, insufficiently powerful light anti-tank guns, and some old-fashioned artillery pieces left over from the Tsarist Russia era and the Civil War era. The purpose of storing these weapons in Siberia is to expand the Red Army in Siberia to fight Japan when necessary (when Japan attacks). Although there were not many residents in Siberia at this time, there were countless political prisoners undergoing labor reform, and they could be mobilized to join the army if necessary.

Roosevelt nodded slightly. Although the Japanese Army claimed to have 3 million soldiers, its equipment was very poor and there was no mechanization or motorization. It was an outdated World War I army. They may be a powerful force in tropical rainforests and islands that are not suitable for mechanized troops to fight, but in plains and grasslands, they cannot defeat the mechanized Soviet Red Army.

Roosevelt then looked down, his frown gradually loosening. Because he saw the second part of the "National Policy Outline" - to strengthen war preparations for the South against Britain and the United States by the end of November. It also established the general principle of "quickly occupying the enemy's strategic military locations and resource-rich areas at the beginning of the war" and proposed the principle of "ensuring strategic locations in the Southwest Pacific region, maintaining a posture of inviolability, and establishing a long-term operational foundation." Require.

And it was also clearly pointed out: The success or failure of the first phase of the operation has a great bearing on the success or failure of the long-term operation. In order to ensure greater success in the first phase of the operation, the following three points are very important. First, based on the actual situation of the enemy's and ours' combat capabilities, we should quickly decide to start a war; second, we should not let the other side make the first move, but let us take the lead; third, in order for the operation to proceed smoothly, the climatic conditions of the combat area must be taken into consideration.

"At the end of November!" Roosevelt laughed. "It seems that the time when the Japanese launched the war should be early December... If this news is reliable, those Soviet spies are really powerful!"

"They have Christian beliefs that can confuse people."

"So, are there any believers in GCism among us?" Roosevelt suddenly frowned and asked, and then said to himself, without waiting for Hull's answer, "I think there must be some. This will happen in the future." It will be a problem, a big problem!”

After Roosevelt said this, he suddenly looked up at Hull, "Go to London immediately, take the documents given by the Soviet Union, and let Prime Minister Churchill see it. Tell Churchill to be prepared to destroy the oil fields in Borneo and Sumatra!" And... we must defend the Singapore Fortress!" He lowered his tone, "Japan is just the key to the door to victory, not a big trouble that hinders our progress."

…

Japan, Kagoshima Military Airport.

Little Hersman piloted a He-112 fighter jet that had been reduced in weight (with weapons removed and less fuel installed). He landed steadily on the runway of the airport and taxied for more than three hundred meters before landing the aircraft. Stop. He yanked open the cabin hood and got out. At this time, a Zero fighter had also landed, and a Japanese pilot in his thirties, with a short build, a Chinese character face, and a samurai sword in his hand emerged from the cabin.

Little Hersman glanced at the very long katana and shook his head slightly. To be honest, little Hersman never thought about the pilot carrying a machete on the plane before coming to Japan. What's the point of carrying a big knife when you're flying a plane? Is it possible to use a machete to chop down enemy planes?

For this reason, he also made rational suggestions to Genda Minoru - there should be no obstructions in the cabin, especially large knives. If you consider the unlucky situation when parachuting into an enemy battle zone, you can bring an extra pistol. Even a submachine gun is better than a machete. That knife is so long. How inconvenient would it be to skydive with it?

However, he later discovered that Lieutenant Commander Minoru Genda also carried a big knife when he flew the plane... and he didn't even bring a parachute!

The Japanese pilot with a Chinese character who had just had a simulated fight with little Hersman in the sky, Major Itaya Shigeru, also didn’t bring a parachute today. He walked over with a big knife and smiled, looking at it with one hand. Little Hersman, who has a parachute, speaks fluent English.

"Captain Hessman, if it were an actual battle today, you would have been shot down by me."

Today, Hersman Jr. flew a He-112 to simulate the American P51/P40. However, the He-112 he drove was an "old aircraft" after all. The engine power was insufficient, so the speed was relatively slow. After reducing some weight, he could only It barely reaches the top speed of 520 kilometers per hour.

But Hersman was still able to use two very simple tactical actions, dive attack and dive escape, to give Japanese HNA Zero fighter pilots a headache. However, after a month of simulated air combat, the elite Japanese pilots flying the Zero have adapted to this "one-hit-and-away" style of play.

"If in actual combat, I would parachute!" Little Hersman said in a serious tone. "I was shot down three times on the European battlefield and was captured by the Belgians once. There is nothing shameful about this!"

Isn’t it shameful to be a prisoner? Major Shigeru Itani did not understand the cowardly thoughts of these German pilots.

"The life of a pilot is very precious! It should be cherished!" Little Hersman continued to brainwash Itani, a granite head, as he and Shigeru Itani walked to the airport lounge.

As he walked, he said: "Everyone should carry a parachute on their back and get into the cabin, and they cannot bring such a big knife. This is common sense. Doesn't anyone here know it? In addition, the search and rescue of parachute pilots is also very important. A professional search and rescue team should be established as soon as possible, and large seaplanes need to be equipped... Damn it, these are common knowledge in Europe, how come no one in Japan knows about it? You are about to go to war, even these? I don’t even know how to fight this battle?”

Little Hersman obviously regretted not listening to his mother. When he arrived in Japan, he discovered that the people here were a little abnormal. They all had the tendency to commit suicide! He would also cut his own belly with a knife, and believed that this behavior, which would definitely lead to hell, was a symbol of courage.

As for Japanese pilots, they are all very bad guys. They like to get on the plane with a machete and do not bring a parachute. They also think that this is the embodiment of the Bushido spirit... Don't they know that their skills are provided by ordinary Japanese people with their hard-earned money? After coming out, this life is no longer yours, how can you waste it casually?

Moreover, the morals of these people are very bad. They are keen on prostitution regardless of whether they have wives or not. The Kagoshima base is surrounded by brothels. Every night, these brothels are full of Japanese officers holding women in their arms and having sex. When little Hersman and several other German pilots joined the 2nd Squadron of the "Akagi" (Squadron Captain Shigeru Itani), Shigeru Itani also brought the entire squadron of Japanese soldiers to treat guests to wine in a high-end-looking brothel. , and even found a 12-year-old underage girl to sleep with little Hessman!
