The Second Battle of Hawaii Breaks Out! The American air carriers USS Lexing and USS Ranger sank! Within a day, the Japanese Marines landed on Niyo Island and Kauai Island at the same time, and thousands of American troops on the two islands were in a bitter battle!

The war in the Pacific Ocean entered the most advanced with the Japanese Red Navy's devastating attack on the Hawaiian Islands. This storm of Red Japan immediately attracted the attention of the entire Western world, and even the news that the French government had gone to Bordeaux and declared Paris an undefended city was obviously overshadowed by the news of the Pacific War.

In the eyes of most people in the world, this world war is ultimately a life-and-death struggle between two social systems, socialism and capitalism. If the defeat of France bankrupted the efforts of the socialist Soviet Union to divide the capitalist camp, then the United States, the number one power in the capitalist camp, will inevitably have no time to take care of the Eurasian theater as Japan triumphs in the Pacific, and such a situation is undoubtedly very advantageous to the Soviet Union.

As if to confirm this point of view, the day after the start of the Second Battle of Hawaii, when the "good news" of Japan's sinking of the aircraft carrier Lexington and the aircraft carrier Ranger reached Moscow, the Central Committee of the United Nations immediately issued an enthusiastic public statement, giving the Japanese Red Navy the highest praise, and also declaring that the Second Battle of Hawaii would be the beginning of the liberation of the American people! Pravda also published a long report on the heroic deeds of Soviet aviation volunteers in the first and second naval battles of Hawaii.

But no one would have thought that at this moment the Kremlin has fallen into agitation.

"Why did Takeda attack Hawaii! What's so good about Hawaii, isn't it just a few rotten reefs, how can it be compared to Australia? He must have gone crazy if he didn't want Australia to fight Hawaii, crazy! Now that France is finished and Japan is crazy, what should the USSR do? What to do? At the military meeting of the Soviet High Command, Trotsky slapped the table so vigorously that all the generals were silent.

Trotsky was really angry, he hadn't been so angry for many years, because the shape of the Soviet Union was now the most sinister it had been in years. According to his previous calculations, France should be able to contain half of Germany's forces on the Western Front. Japan did not agree to attack Australia for the time being, but sooner or later it agreed, because it would not be harmful to Japan -- as long as Japan attacked Australia, Britain would draw troops from India and Northern Europe to defend Australia. Then India would be liberated quickly, and then the Indian Red Army would march into Burma and Tibet, so that it could stab the Chinese in the soft abdomen. Chang Ruiqing will have to draw troops from Siberia and Central Asia to counterattack India......

However, no one expected that France, which is known as one of the world's four major military powers, would be quickly defeated by Belgium's imminent defection, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive June. Tukhachevsky had just telegraphed from Bordeaux that the French caretaker prime minister, Daladier, had stepped down and had been replaced by Marshal Petain, the hero of the First World War, but that the only way Petain had come up with to save France was to accept the Germans' terms of peace. At his strong request, the French cabinet meeting finally made a decision on "conditional surrender". The terms of their surrender were, of course, harsher than they had been before the loss of Paris, with an additional 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 gold francs in reparations (which could be repaid by the French factories for German and Italian cars).

Now France is really finished!

If Trotsky was already mentally prepared for the conditional surrender of France, then Japan's attack on the Hawaiian Islands again was completely beyond his imagination! After all, Japan's strength is far worse than that of the United States, and the United States has already burned incense if it does not come to the door, how can Japan dare to attack Hawaii? And looking at the current posture, it's not about hitting and running, but about the idea of long-term occupation!

This Takeda Heng is completely insane to let aside millions of square kilometers of fertile land in Australia and not seize it, but to drag thousands of kilometers of logistics lines to occupy a few lonely islands!

However, the Soviet Union had to pinch its nose to endorse this madman, although the consequence of this was to incur the bitter hatred of the American people, make the situation of the US GCD more difficult, and make the United States, the world's first industrial power, an enemy of the Soviet Union little by little・・・・・・

But what if you don't? You can't make a statement condemning the Japanese GCDE, right? In this way, the entire international communist movement will not directly collapse! And even if the USSR sold the Japanese GCD, the Americans would have regarded the USSR as a friend? Taking a step back, even if the Americans were willing to ease up with the Soviet Union because the Soviet Union betrayed Japan, it would be difficult for the millions of members of the Soviet GCD and the 100 million Soviet people to give an account! How can the Japanese GCD be GCD, US imperialism is imperialism after all, and GCD fighting imperialism is a world revolution, how can the Soviet GCD oppose it? Wouldn't that be a counter-revolution?

In the past ten years, the Soviet GCD has been using the world revolution to liberate all mankind and realize GCISM every day, fooling the Soviet people to tighten their belts and work hard. If this layer of camouflage is suddenly torn off, saying that the world revolution will not be reformed, mankind will not be liberated, and that it will help US imperialism to deal with Soviet Japan・・・・・・ then the red country of the Soviet GCD will come to an end! Although the Russian people are simple and relatively deceived, they are not cowardly, and once the lies are exposed, they will never lack the courage to overthrow the dictatorship of the crooks.

Therefore, the drama of liberating all mankind must be sung with gritted teeth, and the suicide of the Japanese GCD to challenge US imperialism must also be well encouraged, so that they can drag down the United States, a potential enemy -- although President Roosevelt proceeded from the high plane of striving for world hegemony and was not hostile to the Soviet Union, the anti-Soviet atmosphere among the American people tended to become more and more intense.

However, the United States, a potential enemy, will not be able to threaten the Soviet Union for a while, and the real urgent need is still China and Germany, especially Germany, which has solved its worries! No, it should be said that the whole of Central and Western Europe was a threat to the USSR! In the final analysis, the victory or defeat of the war was still strong or weak, and Germany was already the hegemon of Central and Western Europe after defeating France. If you wait until Germany completes the integration of heavy industries in France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Sweden and other countries, it will become part of the German war machine. Then the western part of the Soviet Union will not face less than 20 million tons of steel in Germany, but more than 10,000 tons of steel in the whole of Central and Western Europe, and this figure has even exceeded the total steel production of the United States! If you add to that the steel produced by China, which is growing rapidly, and the steel of the old industrial power, Britain, the countries that stood opposite to the Soviet Union are likely to have a total steel production of close to 100 million tons! And the Soviet Union only had 18 million tons, which is more than 5 times the difference・・・・・・

So the Soviet Union had to find a way to turn things around before Germany could consolidate its hegemony in Central and Western Europe. But what can ・・・・・・ do? Tukhachevsky was not in Moscow, and the question could only be answered by Vatsettis, whose eyes flashed: "Comrade Chairman and the General Staff of the Red Army believe that Germany will not be able to launch a large-scale attack on the Soviet Union within the year, so we should take advantage of this opportunity to transfer part of the forces in the west to Central Asia and to inflict heavy losses on China in the n@ of the Pelley Sr." ”

"Heavy blows? What is the process of creation? Trotsky said coldly: "China has a population, who cares if it kills 23 million?" And the Germans will soon be able to control 10,000 tons of steel, if the Chinese lose too many tanks and artillery, Hitler can easily help them replenish! How significant can such a blow be? ”

Vatsetis was stunned for a moment, and felt that Trotsky's analysis was reasonable. After the defeat of France, the strength of heavy industry in Germany was already on a par with that of the United States! And with an almost infinite population in China, such an alliance is impossible to defeat! In other words, the Soviet Union had no way to win, and could only consider maintaining peace. Thinking of this, he cautiously probed: "Chairman, we may be able to make peace with Britain and withdraw the troops from the Middle East and India..."

It was clear that Trotsky did not want to hear this, and the faces of the revolutionary prophets became more and more ugly. It is certainly possible to cede India and the Middle East to make peace with Britain, but Britain will not side with the Soviet Union against China and Germany because of this. If France had not failed, perhaps they would have supported France and blockaded Germany to maintain the balance in Europe. But now, Britain will not dare to provoke Germany, which is in the limelight. Instead of provoking, they will continue to supply Germany with oil from the Persian Gulf and food from India, so that Germany's last resource bottleneck will no longer exist. So Vatsettis's idea didn't work, probably seeing this, Vatsettis stopped halfway through his words.

Trotsky did not say anything, but turned his gaze to the Deputy General Staff, Shaposhnikov, and slowly asked: "Has it already begun in Krasnoyarsk?" What is the situation now? And how was the battle in Central Asia fought? Are the Chinese still attacking the Ferghana Basin? ”

"Comrade President, the Chinese began their march in the direction of Krasnoyarsk on June 15 and have now advanced to Cheremkhovo. It is estimated that it will not advance to the vicinity of Krasnoyarsk until early July at the earliest, and the Eastern Front led by Comrade Kamenev is now ready and confident that it will inflict heavy losses on the Chinese Siberian Front under the city of Krasnoyarsk.

The situation in Central Asia is a bit strange, and the Chinese have stopped attacking the Fergana Basin since May 10. ”

"Stop attacking?" Trotsky was stunned for a moment, the war reports of the two Central Asian fronts were of course sent to his desk every day, but during this time his mind was on Europe, and his eyes and mind were only on France and Germany, so he could not remember what the report of the Tianshan Front said. He thought for a moment and muttered, "It seems that the Khujand fortified area dealt a heavy blow to the Chinese invaders and forced them to abandon the attack, right?" ”

Shaposhnikov's memory is excellent, and anyone who has read the battle report will not forget the contents of the jì, he thought for a while and said: "The Chinese attack on the Kuzhan fortified area lasted only about two weeks, and the loss of personnel should not exceed 20,000, during which they also used Stuka bombers to destroy the ground buildings of the Khujand fortress. However, the comrades of the Tien Shan Front still relied on the ruins of the fortress and the fortified tunnels built on the hills on both sides to resist and make it difficult for the enemy to advance. ”

Trotsky nodded, and said absentmindedly: "Okay, the Tianshan Front has done a good job, and the whole army is ordered to learn from the Tianshan Front, and Comrade Baranov will be awarded a Red Banner Lenin Medal." ”

"Comrade President, you already gave the same order in May." Shaposhnikov looked at the somewhat absent-minded Trotsky and reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, really?" Trotsky pressed his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, for this was indeed the case. "Then even if one Red Banner Lenin Medal is enough to show Comrade Baranov's hard work, if he still wants to get one, he will make more contributions to the party and the people." After saying this, he furrowed his brow and pondered again, and everyone in the conference room looked at their leader, but no one dared to disturb his thoughts.

Although the banner of the world revolution cannot be lowered yet, from now on, the purpose of the Soviet Union's struggle is no longer to liberate all mankind, but to survive the party and the country! The chances of winning the world war were extremely low, and Germany, which had taken the lead of Central and Western Europe, was almost invincible. It was difficult for China on the eastern front to be completely defeated, and even if the Red Army were to win in Siberia and Central Asia, it would only be a few hundred to a thousand kilometers eastward. Therefore, the only feasible strategy is to maintain a draw, and if you want to maintain a draw, you must break the sinister situation of China and Germany sandwiching the Soviet Union.

Perhaps the whole of India could be liberated first, and then the 100,000-strong Indian Red Army could be armed eastward into Burma and Tibet and invade the Chinese's backyard. With the Indians and the Chinese, China's reactionary army is following the path of mechanization, and it is difficult to exert its advantages in the jungles of Southeast Asia and the mountains of Tibet. Moreover, their national policy of forming the Great China Federation also pushed the progressive forces of the Southeast Asian nation to the side of the Soviet Union, and then the Chinese would be caught in the vast sea of people's war in the Southeast Asian rainforest. If the situation in Indochina opens up, Japan is likely to return to the arms of the Soviet Union, so that China will be embattled, and Chang Ruiqing may consider sitting down at the negotiating table.

But how should the battlefield on the Western Front be dealt with? If they can't stop the sea of tanks of the Germans and let them enter Ninggrad and Moscow, then it will be difficult to save the overall situation if the @life shìbk@ of the Indian LK and the East SR is high......

But Trotsky probably could not have imagined at this time, when he was struggling with how to get out of the great crisis facing the Soviet Union. The Tianshan Front, which had just been praised by him, was about to face a test of life and death.

On the outskirts of Almaty, the capital of China's outer Xinjiang province, the Friendship Airport (formerly known as the Sino-Soviet Friendship Airport) is a busy scene.

By this time, it was already 10 p.m. Central Asia time on June 17.

Although it was late at night, 36 high-powered searchlights illuminated the four runways in the airport. On each runway is a JU52 transport plane that is turning its propellers for takeoff. On the tarmac on the left side of the runway, nearly 200 identical Ji′52s are neatly parked. Hundreds of fuel trucks and maintenance trucks shuttle between planes, and thousands of heavily armed paratroopers line up to board the planes.

Of course, these JV52s are not the original goods of the German Junkers company, but are produced by the Junkers company authorized by the China First Central Aircraft Factory, but the performance indicators are exactly the same as the original products. Each JU52 can carry 1 heavily armed paratrooper, a figure that is certainly not comparable to the large transport aircraft of later generations, but it is not bad in the 30s of the century. However, the high-cost means of transportation such as air transport is not favored by the Chinese National Defense Forces that take the low-cost route, so the number of J′52 transport planes of the Chinese Air Force is not large, with a total of only more than 600 planes, although they have been transferred to several large military airports in Almaty, Bishkek, Kashgar and other places, but it is not enough to transport paratroopers and corresponding weapons and equipment.

So, on the other side of the tarmac, there were He-111 bombers and Ju-88 bombers, as well as the same number of 1933 gliders made of canvas, wood, and steel pipes. The glider had no engine, but it could carry 4 tons of cargo or 36 heavily armed paratroopers and could be towed by HE111 bombers or JU88 bombers over the target area. Due to the lack of enough transport aircraft, this kind of cheap and high-quality glider, which can also carry some heavy equipment such as 75 recoilless guns and 120MWR heavy mortars, has become one of the most important means of airborne landing for Chinese paratroopers.

A small command led by Lieutenant General Jiang Chunlin, commander-in-chief of the Air Force paratroopers, now also boarded a Type 1933 glider and landed with his officers and men in the Ferghana Basin.

"Commander Chiang, this is the weather forecast for the target area, it's a good weather." An Air Force staff officer hurriedly boarded the glider and handed a copy to Jiang Chunlin. "Also, Commander Huang asked me to tell you that the first batch of 4 JU52 transport planes will be..." he looked at his watch, and then said: "It will take off in 2 minutes, then 4 JV52s will take off every two minutes, and when all J′52s have finished taking off, it will be the turn of the gliders." It is estimated that the entire take-off process will take two and a half hours. At the same time, the same number of J′′52 and gliders will take off from Kashgar and Bishkek airports, and by 3:30 a.m. tomorrow, all planes will arrive over the target and begin to land! ”

After speaking, the staff officer snapped up again, and solemnly gave Jiang Chunlin and everyone on the plane a solemn military salute: "Commander Huang asked me to convey to you that he wishes the airborne troops a victory!" Good luck to everyone! ”
