Chapter 776 Impossible Conditions
Hitler was really unwilling to break up the British Empire. In fact, most Germans had the same idea as Hitler. There were very few Germans like Hessman who were determined to break up the British Empire.
However, Hessman would not force himself to make a move for the sake of the Japanese, and he was not reincarnated by the Japanese devils.
"Also," Hitler said, "Japan needs to give up Hawaii and Aleutian Islands, which must be returned to the United States. Only in this way can peace be restored between Japan and the United States."
It seems that Hitler did not intend to leave Japan alone. Hessman said in his heart: This guy is quite kind to his allies, but I don’t know if Japan will appreciate it.
"The Japanese should accept it," Marshal Radell, who knew about the war in the Pacific, "they got enough...the whole of Southeast Asia is their territory, which is rich in oil, rice, non-ferrous metals, various spices and rubber. It is a very good territory, and they are still fighting a war that they cannot afford at all."
"Yes, they can't beat the United States," Hitler nodded, "Their advantage is only temporary. If we hadn't restrained most of the United States' power, Japan would have lost the war long ago. So letting them hand over the peace talks between Hawaii and Aleutian Islands is also the most beneficial for them. After all, we cannot continue to fight with the United States for the sake of Japan's interests."
Obviously, Hitler not only planned to make peace with the United Kingdom, but also prepared to make peace with the United States.
He looked at Hessman, "Marshal of the Empire, I think you agree with me, right?"
Hessman nodded and said, "Of course, we do not have the strength to conquer the United States, this is a war that we cannot bear."
Although Germany may have the atomic bomb in 1944, it is not so easy for a V2 rocket to become an intercontinental missile, so Germany actually does not have a particularly good tool to throw atomic bombs.
If a long-range bomber takes off from the Azores with a me264, it may be possible to get the United States, but the Americans' p47 is not easy to deal with the p47. It is equipped with a turbocharger and an 18-cylinder air-cooled engine, and its high-altitude performance is definitely not below the He219. Unless there is a jet escort, the me264 will not break into the sky above the big cities in the United States.
Therefore, the attack on the United States is very difficult for Germany. If it cannot threaten the United States, then the war with the United States will continue to continue.
Hitler said slowly: "As long as the Americans are willing to withdraw from Europe and Australia and negotiate peace with Japan at the same time, we no longer need to interfere in South America."
This... seems to be OK. Hessman was thinking in his mind that according to the plan proposed by Hitler, the European community with Germany, France, and Britain as its core in the future, including Italy, will not only control most of the territory of Europe, but also control Africa, Australia and India, and the oil-rich Middle East.
Japan will control the entire Southeast Asia and half of the Pacific Ocean, and will continue to hold on to the thighs of the European Community led by Germany.
The Soviet Union will be severely weakened but can still rely on each other with their East Asian allies to survive, while the United States has another half of the Pacific Ocean and continues to control North and South America. In the future, the United States and the Soviet Union will most likely continue to join forces to fight against the alliance between Europe and Japan.
Of course, the future confrontation between Europe, Japan and the United States and the Soviet Union will not be a big World War III, but a long-term Cold War!
Just as everyone in the commando combat room was discussing how to end the war with the smile of the victors, Natalie Lesskaya, director of the Ministry of Defense Policy Research Institute (the original Army Policy Association), suddenly walked in quickly, came to Hessman, and whispered: "Your Excellency, I just received the news that Stalin appointed Mrs. Curente as the ambassador to Switzerland."
Hessman waved at Natalie and asked her to leave the war room, then smiled and said to Hitler, Kesselin, Raidel and others: "Stalin appointed Mrs. Curente as the Soviet ambassador to Switzerland. I think she came to us for secret talks on behalf of Stalin."
"Marshal of the Empire, do you think the peace talks will be successful?" Hitler asked.
Hessman thought for a while and said, "We have high requirements, so the peace talks will not be successful soon. But as long as we can incorporate Britain into the framework of the European Community, sign a truce treaty with the United States, and have a great advantage on the battlefield, the Soviet Union can only accept humiliating peace."
...
"Baga!"
“Unacceptable!”
"This is selling off the interests of the empire!"
"The Imperial Army must not return the Hawaiian Islands that have been obtained through hard fighting to the United States!"
The discussion on peace issues at the German Command Conference finally turned into a diplomatic memorandum, which was personally handed over to Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo by the German Empire ambassador to the Japanese Empire, Count Carl von Househofer (Chloe's teacher at the University of Munich).
Tojo informed the content of the diplomatic memorandum to the congregation at the base camp meeting, which immediately caused an uproar.
Mr. Hitler's kindness finally made the Japanese army and navy a rare unanimous agreement! The army and the deputy chief of the navy who attended the meeting all expressed their opposition.
Hideki Tojo frowned and glanced at the unmoved Naval Minister Marshal Izuru Yamamoto, the hero who could not move, as soon as Shimada Shintaro obediently went to become a military senator. Then the Navy naturally recommended Yamamoto as the minister. Hideki Tojo certainly did not dare to refuse a number one hero like Yamamoto entering the cabinet.
After Yamamoto Iroku became the minister, of course, he was not as easy to talk to Shintaro Shimada. He had been asking for trouble for Tojo on the budget and resource allocation issues in Showa 18.
"Yamamoto," When a group of officials finished clamoring, Hideki Tojo asked Yamamoto, "Can the Hawaiian Islands give up?"
This is kicking the ball to Yamamoto Izuru.
"Of course not!" Yamamoto Iroku replied firmly, "The Hawaiian Islands are non-sinking aircraft carriers. One Oahu Island is equivalent to at least 10 Dafeng-class aircraft carriers. How can such a strategic location be given up?"
"So... does the Navy oppose peace talks with the United States?" Hideki Tojo asked again.
"No objection." Yamamoto Iroku's face was solemn, "According to reliable information, the first Essex-class aircraft carrier in the United States has been in service a few days ago... This aircraft carrier was started on April 28, 1941 at the Newport News Shipyard in the United States. It took only 19 months to complete and put into service. This is a large aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 35,000 tons, and it seems to be our Dafeng Class. In just 19 months... Such a speed is really terrible!
Therefore, if peace talks with the United States can be successful, it will be quite beneficial to the empire. However, the Hawaiian Islands must not be returned to the United States, because the Hawaiian Islands are the strongest barrier for the empire to resist the powerful American aircraft carrier forces that will appear in the future. If lost, the Dafeng-class alone cannot withstand dozens of Essex-class aircraft carriers in any case."
By the way, the first Japanese ship Dafeng-class Dafeng-class was started at Kobe Kawasaki Shipbuilding on July 10, 1941. It was more than two months later than the start date of the Essex, but the hull has not been completed, let alone service. According to the plan, this large aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of about the same as that of Essex will not be completed and put into service until March 1944.
As for the four Dafeng-class aircraft carriers that Japan built after the Battle of Hawaii, even one of them has not started construction (two are planned to be started after the launch of the Dafeng). The Yunlong-class aircraft carrier with a tonnage of only more than 22,000 tons is planned to be built, and now only the three ships of Yunlong, Tiancheng and Kazushi have started construction, and these three aircraft carriers will not be completed until 1944.
By then, the American Essex-class aircraft carriers will probably be driven out in groups!
Moreover, the biggest problem facing the Japanese Navy now is that the aircraft carriers are insufficient, but the disconnection of new carrier-based aircraft models.
The lightning fighter developed after the Zero fighter jet cannot meet the requirements of the Navy at all, and the new "Seventeen Ship Test Battle" project has just begun. It would be good to be put into production within 44 years, and I can't count on it at the moment.
As for importing from Germany, it is impossible. After being tested by Japanese naval test pilots, several F-190t and Folk Zero D are considered to be inferior to Japan's own Zero 22 model.
The f-190t is a model that focuses on medium and high altitudes, and it takes the "one-hit" route. The medium and low altitude combat performance is very poor, and of course it cannot reach the eyes of Japanese pilots.
The Fokker Zero D-type has become a bit bulky after strengthening its firepower, and its armor and body structure (of course, compared with the Zero 22), and its fighting performance is indeed not as good as the Zero 22. With the help of a high-power engine and a sturdy fuselage, its climbing is comparable to that of the 22, and its dive capability is far higher than that of the Zero 22. However, it still does not have the value of large-scale introduction.
In desperation, the Japanese Navy could only learn the "high and low matching" tactics from the Germans and search for high-altitude partners for their babies in zero battles. The ideal model they found was the Japanese Army's ki84 (Four-type "Breathing") fighter.
This Ki84 fighter is a model that is still under development and has reached the end of its development work. This aircraft has the characteristics of high horsepower and high speed, and also has the possibility of installing a turbocharger. It is an ideal high-altitude fighter.
However, the wind is a "heavy aircraft", and it is impossible to convert it into a carrier-based aircraft. It can only be deployed as a shore-based aircraft in the Hawaiian Islands, and cooperate with Zero to fight against the US counterattack. This is actually a route of land-to-sea resistance.
To this end, Yamamoto also plans to mass-produce the "Deep Mountain" long-range bomber that was once prepared to give up. He plans to have this four-round heavy bomber equipped with remote-controlled gliding bombs introduced from Germany, attack under the cover of Ki84 and Zero 22, and open a huge defense network in the central Pacific with Hawaii as a base.
