The current situation in the world is very delicate. The Axis Power with Germany at its core has declared war on the East Asian Group led by Japan. The Allies are also in inseparable relations with Japan. What is interesting is that the Axis Powers and the Allied Powers are also in full swing in North Africa.
At the same time, neither China nor the United States in the Allied Power declared war on Germany, but the Soviet Union did not declare war on Japan. Japan declared war on all countries in the Allied Power, but it did not tear its face with the Soviet Union. Both sides exercised restraint in the long East Asian region, and no one would take a step.
The Japanese are now fearless, after all, Germany now has no energy and ability to send troops to the Pacific battlefield. And Australia is now a huge temptation that is almost undefended. If you do n’t eat it, you will be sorry for the Americans ’good intentions. Japan ’s base camp took almost no time to analyze the pros and cons of the two trade-offs. Almost all Japanese executives believed that Germany ’s interests in the Pacific region were not core and could be compromised.
As a matter of course, the Japanese spirit of optimism has risen again, and they think that the Germans will not be fooled and will not want Australia's chicken ribs. As for the declaration of war between the two sides, it was just a bargaining chip. Once Japan defeated the United States and dominated the Asia-Pacific region, the Germans could only use their noses to compromise.
Some sensible Japanese officers felt that it was unwise to start a war like the Germans, because in many cases, the Japanese knew more about the once ally of Germany than the Americans, and because of this, they knew the real terrible place of the Germans.
The German tanks have always been optimistic about the Japanese, but because of the destruction of the head of state Akado, the two countries did not cooperate on the tank project. As a result, when the German military tiger tanks and leopard tanks swept across the east line and wiped out the millions of troops of the Soviet Red Army, the Japanese small tanks were okay. It is obviously a bit exaggerated to call this kind of tank, but it is indeed called a tank Do n’t mind ... Japanese small tanks can only bully squadrons that lack heavy weapons in Asia.
The opposite example appeared in the navy. The cooperation between the Japanese navy and the Germans has been faster than the Army. So when the Japanese Army is still using a 20-ton "heavy tank", the Japanese Navy ’s aircraft carrier has already Started experimenting with a new type of zero-based carrier aircraft. Therefore, the Japanese Navy's carrier-based aircraft first attacked Pearl Harbor, and then battled Wake Island, playing the name of the zero war devil.
Zero war is the ultimate product of Japan-Germany cooperation. At least in terms of materials and partial design, the Germans have come up with many useful things to support Japan to go further on the road of fighter jets. Unfortunately, the cooperation between the two countries soon ended because of Akado's strategy of running China and disrupting the situation in the Pacific Ocean. The Japanese navy did not get the German engine they dreamed of.
The Japanese knew that while the U.S. Navy was still keeping its radar detectors secret, the Germans had begun to study how to use radar beams to guide weapons at long range. The Japanese knew that while the Americans were still using the m3 tank to bully Japanese small tanks in the Philippine jungle, the German Tiger tank could already penetrate two m3 tanks in one shot. The Japanese also know that the Germans have many staggering advanced weapons, from individual tactical camouflage blouses to terrible ultra-long-range early warning radars on huge Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers.
These middle- and lower-level Japanese military officers who had genuine contact with the Germans knew how terrible the country was when his emperor His Majesty had just declared war. They even feel that they are far behind the German Third Reich, which has already been so popular in Europe, from tactics to strategy to equipment to technology. Unfortunately, this country has changed from an ally to a deadly enemy.
"Hopefully our bosses are just making a joke, I hope we can have peace talks with the Germans in a few months." Japanese designer Horiyoshi Hori, who knows well about the Germans, said to his assistant after hearing the news of the war He was able to design a zero-type fighter, and the final design was largely based on the inspiration given by the Germans.
A Japanese officer who had accompanied the German advisory team during the Battle of Nomenkane was even more explicit. When he mentioned the declaration of war in his letter to his wife, he wrote this passage: "I heard the declaration of war with Germany, I am really very pessimistic, the German people I know are undoubtedly very good, and I have nothing to fight against them. I dare not feel lucky. My most beloved person is you, so I have to tell you about my frustration. Our emperor declared war on Germany, which in my eyes is more foolish than our war with the United States. "
However, the views of these people will never be passed on to the ears of senior staff in the base camp. These senior Japanese bureaucrats are very certain that the Germans cannot appear on the Pacific Ocean: first, the Germans are not capable; second, even if they are capable There is no need to come; in the end, Americans and Japanese do not want Germany to come. With these three points as a basis, all senior officials, including the emperor, do not feel that there is anything wrong with declaring war on the Axis Powers.
Even many high-level officials believe that when Japan provoked the Pacific War, the Axis Powers not only failed to fulfill their allied obligations, but also expelled Japan from the Axis Powers Group. Such humiliation must be brought back. At that time, the war was not declared immediately because the time was not ripe. Now that the time is ripe, it is natural to let the Germans see the prestige of the Japanese.
However, the Japanese do not understand Germany too well, or the Japanese do not understand Germany with such a head as Akado. Akado always felt that the Han dynasty's sentence, "Those who offend me to Huaxia, although far away will be blamed." It makes people feel comfortable in their bones. It is a very heartening slogan; How much with a little bit of indignation against the devils; Akado must give the Axis ally an explanation to consolidate the political status of his European leader.
These things Japanese devil can guess that the last one is already good, even if he wants to break his head, he can't think of why the German head of state made the idea of pitting Japan because of it. Therefore, although the Japanese assumptions and analysis are very reasonable, they were wrong from the beginning and ridiculously wrong.
On the day of the declaration of war, the German navy dispatched its expeditionary fleet and rushed toward the Pacific Ocean in a fierce manner. There are as many as 10 ships in this fleet, and it is considered to have assembled a lot of elite German navies. Instead of dispatching his main fleet, he dispatched 10 submarines to kill Japan in such a mighty way.
In order to supplement this submarine force, the German Navy also sent three destroyers from the northern United Kingdom to protect three supply ships to Australia to provide logistics support for these submarines.
Akado studied Japan so thoroughly that even he felt a little embarrassed. He knows that the battle between land and sea in Japan has a long history. He knows the Japanese navy ’s big ship artillery complex. He knows that the Japanese navy does not attach importance to anti-submarine warfare. He also knows that the Japanese do not have radar ...
In another time and space, even an American submarine force that has n’t fought a war can cause a devastating blow to the Japanese maritime transportation supply line. It can sink Japanese aircraft carriers off the coast of Japan and then escape. If the US submarine force is replaced by What will happen to Germany's ace submarine force? Akado involuntarily touched his forehead, and he felt sorry for the price Japan was about to pay.
Not paying attention to anti-submarine warfare has always been a weakness of the Japanese navy. What is surprising is that the Japanese navy has never intended to correct this error. They endured huge losses and bit their teeth to turn a blind eye to the record of the American submarine, but their precious submarines were Used to do something similar to moving companies and taxis (the Japanese Navy likes to use submarines to transport personnel supplies and even food for the frontline trapped islands). If you still feel that it is not strange enough, you ca n’t find a more strange naval decision. coming.
Moreover, the core of the Japanese Navy ’s submarine tactics is to attack high-value targets, which is essentially different from what the German Navy ’s submarine force caught and hit. The German navy is cold-hearted. The 3,000-ton transport ship and the 30,000-ton battleship attack as long as they have the chance, so the German navy's submarine record is so staggering. The Japanese Navy is just the opposite. They were ordered to attack each other ’s core warships, and they did not hesitate to launch suicide attacks for this reason, so the performance of the Japanese Navy submarine force in another time and space was so pitiful and pitiful.
So Akado did not send his own high seas fleet to fight a Japanese fishnet with a Japanese air force, which would be useless except for cheap Americans. He calculated the weakness of the Japanese, and the submarine went to fight the autumn wind, interfered with the speed of Japan ’s eastward movement, and avoided Japan ’s true possession this time, surrendering the United States.
Akado must also be careful to deal with the problems he is facing. Many of the things he knows can only be used as a reference, and the current world trend has already been the cruel second time he knew. World wars are very different. The space-time axis nations dismantled each other to challenge the allies, which is considered a bipolar hegemony. Now, in this space-time, because this butterfly instigates its wings, it has changed beyond recognition.
This three-legged tripod is definitely a true three-legged tripod. The three groups declare war on each other. Everyone has to worry about another opponent coming over to pick up the bargain after a full blow. Thinking of this, Akado smiled involuntarily. He looked at the report of the Battle of Tobruk written by Rommel, and looked up the window: the world is different, this head of state, how far can this time go?
