One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-One

"It is impossible to defeat the Germans in the air. According to the analysis of news obtained from some special channels, the Germans seem to have an absolute advantage in aircraft... Our fighter pilots can no longer be consumed in land wars. This is The consensus of all the generals in the base camp," a general of the Army Aviation Corps, leaning on the back of his chair, said to his colleagues in front of him.

The German Ta-152 fighter jets and the ace pilots above left the Japanese Army Aviation with indelible wounds. For these eagles soaring in the sky, shooting down Japanese planes is as simple and pleasant as eating chocolate candy. The nightmare over Nomenkan has not woken up until now - they lost about 100 skilled fighter pilots, which almost left Japan with few experienced pilots in the entire northeast of China .

As soon as his words fell, the people on the army side began to pour out their bitterness. The expression is so sincere - the whole face is covered with a miserable expression: "The army's counterattack risk is too great, the German tanks are stronger than the most brutal enemy tanks we have ever seen, I don't know why they stopped attacking, but whatever the reason, there is no reason for us to actively provoke them."

Compared with the Army Aviation, the wounds left by the Germans in the Army are also deeply rooted and difficult to heal: Japan's widely equipped tanks were pierced by German tanks at a distance of 1,000 meters. What is even more annoying is that in night battles The Japanese garrison lost its headquarters and even the whereabouts of the commander are unknown-what is more painful than being slapped in the face in terms of strength? Think about Japan being slapped in the face by the German army and you will know the answer.

The admiral sat at the conference table, sneered and did not speak. He didn't bother to explain the terrible things that had happened in the past few days: a fleet of German submarines appeared in the Sea of ​​​​Japan, which sank hundreds of Japanese ships and began to make Japan's economy still Important industries have been affected.

Those ships that were sunk were carrying important supplies, and it was precisely because Japan's family background was relatively thin that every transport ship was used to the best of its ability. And because of this, the sinking of each of these Japanese transport ships means incalculable losses.

"This meeting was proposed by our navy... Before our navy even spoke, your army started to complain?" After sneering, the officer of the Japanese navy looked at the army generals attending the meeting, and said slowly : "Recently, more and more ships have been sunk in the navy. Our anti-submarine capabilities are not enough. What do you think?"

"Is there any good way? Our army's tanks and infantry can't go to sea, so there is no way to help." An army general said to the navy general in front of him with a somewhat mocking expression on his face. .

Hearing these familiar words, the Japanese admiral's complexion immediately became ugly. It turns out that in the Far East, when the Japanese army was retreating steadily, the Japanese navy laughed at the other side. A favorite sarcastic saying of the navy is: "Our warships can't go to land,

There's nothing I can do to help..."

According to the usual practice, the meeting can get down to business after some cynicism. The leading general of the base camp coughed softly, signaling everyone to be quiet, and the meeting room immediately became silent: "I hope everyone will unite sincerely... Contribute your own strength to the holy war of the empire! Instead of tearing each other down , that will only become a sinner of the empire and be cast aside by everyone!"

"Hi!" All the Japanese generals in the meeting stood up, stood at attention and bowed their heads, and answered the speaker's words.

The leading general is Hideki Tojo, who just arrived in Dalian from the base camp. In order to stabilize the battlefield of the Puppet Manchukuo in the Far East and control the decadent situation in Japan, he was ordered to take over this hot potato when he was in danger.

Wearing round glasses, this active responder and participant of the Empire of Japan's war of aggression said slowly: "The meaning of the base camp is to allow us to avenge the German submarine attack on the Sea of ​​Japan. I thought about our There are not many weapons that can defeat the Germans with the power at hand."

"This is really the tragedy of our Great Japanese Empire! The majestic Great Japanese Empire, in terms of weapon research and development, lags behind a country that was completely defeated in the last war... This is a great shame, I hope everyone here can remember it in their hearts! "Speaking of this, Hideki Tojo also felt a little annoyed. Japan's overall backwardness in war weapons made this war madman feel uncomfortable all over.

"Hi!" Knowing that their commander was in a bad mood when he mentioned this, all the officers bowed their heads again, and agreed with Hideki Tojo's speech in unison.

Hearing the answers from his subordinates, Hideki Tojo seemed very satisfied with the atmosphere, so he continued, saying the plan he advocated: "I thought about the weapons in our hands, and it seems that conventional weapons cannot be used in war. In the middle of the war, the weapons to defeat the Germans are equipped...so I can only work on some special weapons...Fortunately, General Ishii provided me with a brand new plan, which made me think that using poisonous gas and bacterial weapons, Retaliation against Germany is a perfectly feasible plan."

"Your Excellency General... General Ishihara has considered your plan..." An army officer heard that Hideki Tojo had once again paid attention to poison gas and bacterial weapons, and persuaded him: "But we have previously The Soviet Union used these weapons, was condemned by the whole world, and was very passive internationally...”

"Baga!" Tojo heard that his proposal was criticized, and interrupted the other party's words with a loud drink. He is very unwilling to hear the news that his proposal was rejected, not to mention that it was rejected in the name of Ishihara Waner, who had a gap with him: "Now, if we don't use our secret weapon, what else can we do?" To reverse the situation in front of you?"

"But your Excellency, General... Will this cause Germany to react more violently?" A naval officer looked at Tojo and asked his concern: "If the Germans send more planes, there will be more shocks." Tanks, more submarines attacking us, are we going to use more poison gas and bacteriological weapons?"

"Yes! We will use more bacterial weapons and poison gas to repel their provocation!" Hideki Tojo said angrily: "If we don't win this war, we will all become sinners of the Japanese people! His Majesty the Emperor will also be ashamed because of us! Therefore, in this holy war, we must fight on no matter what, until all enemies are defeated!"

After speaking, Hideki Tojo clapped his hands, the door behind him was pushed open by the guards, and a Japanese general walked into the meeting room. This person is Ishii Shiro who was beaten by Akado. He stood behind Hideki Tojo with a smile and said to the people in the conference room: "My factory will produce enough for the sacred Great East Asian War. Bacteria and poisonous gas shells, even if the enemy retaliates, they cannot match us in terms of poisonous gas production... I am confident that with the weapons I have developed, I will help the empire win the final victory!"

"Very good! Gentlemen! I hope you all have the same firm belief as Mr. Ishii that we will win in the end... Long live the Empire of Japan, long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Hideki Tojo stood up, raised his hands high, and shouted loudly shouted the loudest slogan.

Everyone raised their hands and shouted the slogan they shouted several times a day: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Great Japanese Empire!"

...

Germany, Berlin, an inconspicuous building, there is no plaque hanging on the door, and few people know that this is the residence of the Chinese special envoy to Germany. Germany and China have been in touch throughout the war, and the two countries are the only countries that have not declared war on each other.

At the door, a German SS soldier with a weapon on his back checked the German officer who came to deliver things, and then signaled that he could let him go. The German officer pushed open the concealed door and walked into the building.

"Good afternoon! Mr. Chen, Ms. Chen..." Seeing the owner of this building, the German military officer bowed slightly politely.

The Chinese couple in front of me are very well dressed. The woman is a little bloated because of her age, and the man is slightly bald in a suit. The two are China's special envoys stationed in Germany responsible for delivering news to each other. Although they look ordinary, they have amazing identities. One of them is a German translator and the other is a diplomat. They have worked together for many years and have stayed in Germany since Akado.

"Good afternoon! Mr. Gascoll." The hostess smiled and greeted the son of the head of the German intelligence agency who walked into the room: "Do you drink red wine? The Führer sent someone to deliver a bottle last time. We haven't Willing to let go."

"No! Ms. Chen... I don't have the guts to drink the red wine given to you by the head of state during working hours." Little Gascoll chuckled, then handed an invitation to the diplomat surnamed Chen, and then said: "The head of state has made a new toy and wants everyone to take a look. After all, this toy is very interesting, and even I don't know what it will make the future look like."

"Toys? You, a senior German military officer, personally sent invitations. It's definitely not that simple... Where can I go to see the head of state's new toys?" Ms. Chen and Mr. Chen have been married for many years, and they have an extraordinary understanding. Asked what Mr. Chen wanted to ask.

A bright smile appeared on Gaskle Jr.'s face, and he answered simply and clearly: "Africa!"
