The third weapon is the real weapon of mass destruction, which is completely in line with the appetite of the Japanese. As for the United States and even for China, their truest thoughts are that if they are inferior to Japan alone, but if one has a strong industrial strength and a large population, and if it is really like the last war and fights an overall war, Japan will have no chance of winning, so seeking opportunities for peace talks after a sneak attack is the supreme 'right way'.

At this time, I heard that the people of the United States have money and can't spend it, and although they don't have money, they can use it 100%, but they have an advantage, which suddenly makes the little devil feel uplifted. From the beginning of the knock of the black ships, Japan has always been worried about another invasion of American animals, and this time, it has finally gained an advantage on paper. Seeing the sparkle in the eyes of the Japanese, Yang Rui had to say again: "Even if we have an advantage in the fleet, we still need to do three things well." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak!" Hirohito said loudly, his right hand raised excitedly.

"First, although the Americans are backward in shipbuilding, they have an extremely developed automobile manufacturing industry, and automobile factories and aircraft factories are easy to switch in wartime, which means that the Americans are inferior to us in aircraft carrier production, but the aircraft production must be much higher than ours. With such a huge production capacity, the biggest concern is that the United States will make large bombers to bomb our factories and dockyards and weaken our wartime production capacity, so the west of the Mariana Islands must be fortified now and permanent underground fortifications that can be held for five years. Otherwise, no matter how efficient our industry is, it will be destroyed by bombers. ”

"Your Excellency, is it impossible for bombers to intercept?" Fushimi said.

"A bomber at an altitude of 10,000 meters is difficult to intercept unless a jet is practical." "Even if we build jets. As I said earlier, the UK and Germany are also working on jets. Once we use it, so will the Americans. One of the belligerent principles with the United States is: if there is no overwhelming superiority in technology. And it's easy to get by your opponent, so don't use new weapons in engagements. Because the Americans can reverse copy, and the performance of the imitation will be higher than that of the imitation product.

Compared with undersea acoustic scouts, jet planes can be seen, and once we use them, the United States, with the help of Britain and Germany, will soon make them, and the performance will surpass ours. Hence the strategic bombing of the Americans. The best thing to do is to leave them without an airport. The other has another principle of engagement with the United States: try to fight as much as possible by sea and not by air; As for land warfare, we also have to fight less, we don't have so much money to toss. ”

Seeing that several people no longer had any doubts about the first point, Yang Rui said again: "Second, China, Japan, and the DPRK must set up a joint staff department, establish an effective military command mechanism, and plan and coordinate all military actions. If there is a contradiction, it is only a contradiction in the General Staff. Combat units must enforce orders and prohibitions, and in particular, the navy and army must coordinate with each other. ”

I heard that Yang Rui deliberately emphasized that the navy and army should cooperate in unison, and the Japanese all bowed their heads, and the army built submarines and the navy built tanks. Although this was something that the Japanese did later, many things have now begun to take shape.

The Japanese bowed their heads, but Yang Rui didn't dig too deep. He cleared his throat before he said that so much nonsense was finally going to be said, and it was also the ultimate purpose of his visit to Japan - only to hear him: "Third. Compared with the United States, China and Japan can only have a chance of winning if they pool all their resources. However, it is difficult to achieve the allocation of resources by administrative order alone, and only by using a unified currency can the resources of the three countries be effectively allocated, otherwise there will be people who will contribute unevenly and eventually become unhappy. Your Majesty, the Asian dollar must be issued as soon as possible! ”

Financial integration, monetary integration, this is the top priority. It is very difficult to grasp the balance between using the threat of war to get Japan to agree to the issuance of the Asian dollar, and preventing the Japanese, who think they have something to rely on, from taking risks and brazenly going to war.

As Yang Rui thought, as soon as he talked about unifying the currency and discovering the Asian dollar, the Japanese who were full of war excitement all withered, but after all, they were discussing the war against rice and livestock, if there was no unified currency, it would be difficult to allocate the resources of various countries, and only when the three countries became one country financially could various conflicts be avoided. Therefore, several people did not oppose on the spot, only Xianyuan Gong said: "Your Excellency, the monetary unification is a big matter, can't the material allocation of the three countries be handled like the military joint command?" Or like a shipyard? ”

"The soldiers are organized, obey orders, and have no worries about food and clothing, and so are the workers, of course, it is not difficult to unify the command, but can the people do it?" Yang Rui asked rhetorically: "The essence of war is to deprive the people of their wealth and give it to the army, even if they are obedient, they will be disobedient when they are hungry." Moreover, after the customs union, the markets of the three countries are integrated, and under the comparative advantage, the industries of each country have made trade-offs and are extremely closely linked, and the result is that no one can do without the other. If there is no unified currency, what if the yen will not be able to buy grain and coal? ”

Yang Rui looked at the Japanese who still didn't believe him, and said seriously: "I'm not joking, there are many people who only want their own selfish interests regardless of national righteousness, and this kind of person wants us to lose the war." Each has its own interests, and it is difficult for the executive order to allocate resources, and only a unified currency can accomplish this purpose. Only in this way can the potential of the war be tapped to a great extent, and at the same time, everyone's contribution will be even, otherwise you will contribute more and I will contribute less, and then the economic problems will not be clear, and how can the military be unified? ”

If you really start a war with the Americans, Japan must be at the forefront, and at the same time, among the three countries, the Japanese are the richest, but Japan is not enough to support the war military spending, Yang Rui's suggestion is for the sake of Japan from that point of view, so that people can't find a reason to oppose it, but is it really that simple?

The Japanese were suspicious, and Yang Rui was already drinking tea. It's no better than when he was young, he could talk about three days and three nights, and he said that he would be a little out of breath, which couldn't help but make him think of the matter of negotiating MSG equipment with Zheng Weigang of Chanchen Foreign Bank, and this negotiation seemed to be as critical as that time.

The Japanese looked at each other for a long time, and then Fushimi Palace opened his mouth and asked, "Your Excellency, let's ...... Are we going to war with the Americans? ”

"Of course not!" Yang Rui, who put down the teacup, denied.

"Then we ......" Fushimi remembered that Yang Rui said that the best strategy was to sign a contract, the middle strategy was to start a war, and the next strategy was an arms race, and he was a little confused about which strategy he was going to take.

"Sign up!" Yang Rui smiled. "Of course, the Americans will definitely not sign with us. But the British, the French will. If we sign a contract with the United Kingdom, France, and the United States also contracts with the United Kingdom, France. Does this mean that we have indirectly signed a contract with the United States? So that everyone is constrained, will not get bogged down in an arms race, and there is no possibility of war? ”

"But the specific proportion ......, what should I do?" Fushimi said again, and he seemed to understand something.

"Proportion is not a problem, but I am afraid that there is no proportion." Yang Rui said. "Before we have established that aircraft carriers are the main force of naval warfare, we have to create a situation in which aircraft carriers are useless, and even if the Americans do not get it, their internal inertia will make him focus on battleships rather than aircraft carriers. The result is that the Americans do have more aircraft carriers than us, but not overwhelmingly, the battleships are overwhelming.

We can't build any more aircraft carriers, ten will be ten, we will build one, the Americans will build two, one to two is still a chance to be lucky, ten to twenty, twenty to forty there is no luck.

In addition, the signing of the contract with Britain and France would not affect the construction of fortifications west of the Mariana Islands, because we could not rush to build fortifications on these islands after the start of the war. It is difficult to hold on to such fortifications, and once the supplies are cut off, you can only surrender without fighting to the death, as long as the Americans do not sign a contract with us directly. The construction of fortifications is urgent! ”

"But what if the people of the United States don't sign a contract with Britain and France?" Fushimi listened to Yang Rui finish talking about one situation, and then asked another situation.

"That means the Americans are going to deliberately provoke a war!" Yang Rui said, "He will definitely throw out one navy bill after another." tempted us to engage in an arms race with him, and he knew that we would certainly not be able to match him. In the end, we had no money to build a ship, so we had only two choices, or agree to his harsh conditions. Undefeated and defeated; Either take the initiative to sneak attack in order to seize the opportunity of the war.

Both of these choices are what he expects, the former only costs money and does not die, and he can't ask for it; The latter is even better, because there are still many anti-war forces in the United States, and we will fall into their hands as soon as we sneak attack. ”

"Your Excellency, what are we going to do......" Fushimi swallowed his saliva and asked, "If we don't engage in an arms race with the United States and do not take the initiative to provoke the United States, can the war be avoided?" ”

"In my estimation, it's hard to avoid." Yang Rui said solemnly. "If we don't attack the United States and don't have an arms race with him, then it will be the third result: one day the flagship of the Asian fleet suddenly explodes while sailing in East Asian waters, and only a very small number of soldiers survive, and then these soldiers all say that our submarine fired a torpedo, and even one or two people will say that they saw our submarine float with their own eyes, and then sink after firing the torpedo. …… The U.S. government will issue us an ultimatum, and if we don't accept it, it's war, and if we accept it, it's an insult and more harsh terms......"

"I understand! I understand! Everyone present nodded, this is the old routine of the Americans, thirty-eight years ago, the Americans dealt with the Spaniards like this.

"What we need is time, the later the war starts, the better our chances of winning, and the United States is still stuck in the quagmire of economic crisis, and now it seems that the American economy is good and prosperous, but this is driven by Roosevelt's additional currency, which is like a person who lacks food can only eat his own meat, once the secondary part is eaten, then whether to eat the main part is death.

The real purpose of sending troops to East Africa is to help Europe balance the situation, and if there is no war in Europe, the US economy will really collapse without external stimulus. When Roosevelt is gone, the United States, which cannot get out of the economic crisis, will completely decline and will no longer be our opponent; And that's why I think war with the United States is inevitable: when there is no way to pull the economy internally, a war may be a good way to deflect internal contradictions, especially if we don't have an arms race with the United States, and they think they have won, just like they did thirty-eight years ago. ”

Yang Rui talked eloquently, and kept talking far away, and when he turned around and found that the Japanese were still looking at him, he remembered Fushimi's question just now, so he turned to say: "I think the best strategy for the London negotiations in the second half of the year is: not to accept the conditions for the United States to dissolve the alliance, even if it does not sign a contract with the United States; However, whether or not the United States signed a contract with Britain and France, we must sign a contract with Britain and France to guarantee their vested interests in East Asia and to keep them as neutral as possible in a possible Pacific war.

In the treaty with Britain and France, it is enough to maintain the previous proportion of the tonnage of the main force, and if the United States withdraws from the treaty and builds ships one bill after another, then the anti-war public opinion in its country will attack the government. In other words, it is equivalent to the endorsement of Britain and France, and they guarantee that our navy is not enough to threaten the United States, thus buying us time. ”

The London naval negotiations were handled in a somewhat tortuous manner, but they fully captured the essence of naval disarmament, which was mutual trust and the fact that the signatories would abide by the treaty to prevent a war caused by an increase in military strength. Fushimi, who understood this meaning, nodded deeply, but it was the first time that Bei Shoutong, who heard about this treatment plan, wanted to speak and stopped. Yang Rui didn't expect his own people to have opinions, and he didn't shy away from laughing: "You have a problem?" ”

"This..., now, what if Britain and France are not willing to sign a contract with us?" "From their point of view, it is in their best interest for us to have a war with the United States, which will not only stimulate the European economy like the last war, but also allow the two great power blocs to consume each other......"

Although Pei Shoutong didn't finish speaking, Yang Rui, who understood what he meant, smiled, "The British are-stirring sticks, I understand it very well." If Britain doesn't sign a contract with us, if we want us to fight with the United States, then we will sign with France. The French wanted us to help her contain Germany, as they did in the last war, so she would sign it.

But without the backing of the United Kingdom, it is a question of whether the American people believe it or not, but even so, it is important that we sign a contract with France and promise to help suppress Germany and stimulate the recovery of the American economy by preventing war in Europe. Germany did not want to go to war, although the pressure of the Soviet Union would be relaxed, but at this time the Soviet Union Stalin was purging, and if the equipment of the Soviet army was not fully tested in the following Spanish Civil War, or if it was tested, it did not get the correct and beneficial experience, then it is not to be afraid of us.

As for the British, if they don't sign, then don't sign. What we have to do is try to get its commitment to neutrality in a possible Pacific war. However, since they are not willing to sign a contract with us, they will certainly not promise neutrality, so in the end of the matter we have to speak with strength, as long as we do not touch the interests of Britain, he will not completely fall to the United States until the war situation is clear. He will most likely be a good boxing referee, exhausting the fighters from fighting without letting them die on the spot, as in the Russo-Japanese War. (To be continued.) )
