Chapter 935: Kill Little Japan
The Japanese did not conceal information about the kamikaze, but instead publicized it in their own country, calling those rookie pilots who volunteered to die for their country heroes. Hirohito even personally met with the families of some of the soldiers who died in battle. Their spirit tablets were also sent to the Yasukuni Shrine Toilet.
There is even a frenzy in Japan.
"When we set foot on the soil of that country, we have to deal with the madness that often fills the air! They are proud to die in battle, and death is not terrible for them! Even the document that was sent to Roosevelt was filled with mysterious and crazy words.
"Japan's domestic economy was already very difficult, after losing the granary of Southeast Asia and the inability to transport grain from India, the famine in Japan became more and more intense, and even the families of some Japanese soldiers could not have enough to eat. The families of the pilots who committed suicide were treated well, as well as honored, which made the flight cadets who were only sixteen or seventeen years old willing to die. If this continues, perhaps with a little coercive means, Japan can organize at least 3,000 such suicide attack aircraft! The Americans verified the information and quickly came to a somewhat frustrating conclusion.
The first kamikaze troops, driven by honor and profit, were selected to become the majority of fanatical and voluntary soldiers. During the battle, there were no longer a few people who shouted "Long live the locusts". Only in the middle and late stages, benefits and honors are being reduced, the element of threat and coercion becomes larger, and in the face of the shadow of death, there are fewer shouts of long live, and there are more cursing superiors and mental numbness.
And the typical results of these surveys have taken Americans by surprise.
Some people have estimated that if one in 1,000 Japanese people fall into such a state of madness, the losses of the United States all the way to the Japanese mainland will be unbearable. If one percent of the Japanese go berserk, the Americans will see no hope of victory.
"If we continue like this, our losses are too great! Since the Japanese have promised to return the Philippines and want to fight China with us, why should we continue to fight? "The proposal for peace talks put forward by the Japanese. Not only can the interests of the Philippines be recovered in a timely manner, so as not to have too many dreams at night, but also can be used to contain and consume China through Japan, and many people are moved.
"Are we just going to take back the Philippines? What about Guam? And what about the wealth that the Japanese looted in the Philippines? What about the compensation we have sacrificed in recent years? Roosevelt questioned.
The Japanese are still extremely petty in their compromises.
Although they surrendered to the Philippines, they refused to return the island chain of the Northern Mariana Islands, which protected the mainland, and even reminded the United States to return the Marshall Islands.
In the eyes of the Japanese, who are still arrogant, the return of the Philippines while they still have the strength to fight is already a big compromise with the United States. But this is obviously not enough to satisfy the appetite of the Americans.
The Americans spent a lot of money. After fighting for most of the day, he did not get enough compensation for the benefits, and the money-losing business was criticized.
Although the United States will be criticized for giving up, many people now have various goals. Shouting to end the war with the Japanese.
"For the United States of America to reach the pinnacle of world power, it must have convincing strength. Only through one war after another, the opponents who dare to offend us will be completely defeated. That's how our American dream can continue. Roosevelt said in a tough manner, "If Japan doesn't give us sincerity, we can take it ourselves!" ”
However, in the face of Japan's desperate posture, the pace of the United States' war against Japan has slowed down, and even MacArthur's plan to attack Mindanao in the Philippines has been postponed.
"Let's take a look at what the Huaxia people should do next!" Roosevelt finally said helplessly. The increasingly strong anti-American sentiment in China has given the Americans an excuse to become ambiguous toward Japan.
……
"It's not that the little devil's suicide attack has never been seen, it's nothing to be afraid of!" Fan Chong was dismissive of the kamikaze's attack.
When it comes to suicide attacks, in Eastern cultures, it is a very common way of fighting.
Not to mention the dead soldiers in ancient times, the modern death squads also put life and death aside from the beginning.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. The Chinese played more suicidal attacks than the Japanese. The Central Army of China and the local armies relied on flesh and blood to make up for the gap with the well-equipped Japanese army.
As for the vanguard army, the backward Japanese in turn organized meat bombs against the vanguard army, and the vanguard army had already sorted out a set of detailed and feasible measures, so that the Japanese could not take advantage of it at all.
Of course, this refers to the Army. The kamikaze squads of the Japanese have not yet been used against the Huaxia Navy, which they look down upon.
However, under Meng Xiang's early prevention, the Huaxia Navy also had similar exercises and operations early.
In his heart, he secretly sighed that Meng enjoyed the prescient model, and he was naturally full of confidence.
"The Japanese sent naval and air forces to the Northern Mariana Islands to deter the Americans, and the homeland defense was much weaker, but it was cheaper for us." Meng Xiang said with a smile. "In this way, we don't go to the Japanese mainland for a walk, but I'm sorry that the Japanese opened the door to welcome us!"
"It's still a step early!" Fan Chong sighed.
Meng Xiang knew what he meant.
When the vanguard army first emerged in 38, Meng Xiang began to formulate a series of plans for the consumption of Japan and the United States with the assistance of Fan Chong. In the past six years, the General Staff has been adjusting and perfecting a series of plans for the benefit of Chinese fishermen.
From Japan's southward advance to the American counteroffensive. Every step of the way is also expected in these plans.
However, as China has become more and more powerful, it has become more and more difficult for the struggle between Japan and the United States to follow the strategic baton of China.
The strength of the Americans was not shaken by the Japanese, and it was not consumed much. And the Japanese still have the foundation to fight to the death after fighting hard.
This is a little different from Fan Chongxiang's imagination at the beginning, both of which were dying, and only waiting for Huaxia to complete the final blow to pick up the cheap. As a model who strives to make every plan perfect, it is naturally a bit regrettable.
"Do it yourself, it's more fulfilling!" Meng Xiang smiled and comforted.
From the very beginning, Meng Xiang did not have too high expectations for the defeat of Japan and the United States.
Meng Xiang, who knew more about the strength of the United States in later generations, was obviously unable to raise his confidence to the same level as the Japanese.
Although there are also small actions to constantly supply the Japanese, Meng Xiang also has a bit of luck in his heart, but the most important thing is not to beat the Americans to the point that they are unable to fight again, but to make the Japanese kitchen knife dance more violently, so that he can buy more time for the development and speculation of China.
In the face of the threat of an increasingly powerful China beside them, Japan and the United States will not fight to the death.
To be able to fight to this point, Meng Xiang is already quite satisfied.
With the Japanese opening the way in front, China has gained a firm foothold in Australia and Southeast Asia.
With the Japanese fighting, the American war machine, which was already running at full power, also felt struggling.
With the heavy blow of the Americans in advance of the Asian movement, the Japanese also lost most of their naval and air power, and the rest was used for the actual combat training of the nascent Chinese National Defense Force's navy to establish confidence.
Although we can continue to wait and wait for Japan and the United States to consume some of each other's strength, it is difficult to make greater gains under the watchful eye of China, and even under other unexpected circumstances, Japan-US relations will be eased and they will join forces to deal with China.
In addition to reassuring Japan and the Americans to continue the fight to the death, Meng Xiang dragged on for a long time, because once they gnawed on this cake, the Americans would certainly not sit idly by and watch China eliminate the last obstacle in Asia. There is no room for relaxation in the entanglement of interests between China and the United States, and the spark of war can easily burst out.
But before tearing up the face with the United States, it is also necessary to deal with Japan.
The harm inflicted on China by the Japanese has made China always regard Japan as its most hateful enemy.
If the Japanese do not fight and go directly to the trouble of the Americans, who have not shown great evil against China, there will certainly be many people who will not be able to think of it, or even drag it out.
Now the 814 accident has intensified the contradictions between China and the United States. At this time, it is even more likely that we will have to face pressure from Japan and the United States at the same time.
Meng Xiang's launch of the war plan against the United States is to prepare in advance.
Of course, fighting against Japan before this can also buy more time for Huaxia.
After all, the Americans are also thinking of picking up bargains.
"This time we can ask the Japanese for as much as we want! The harder the Japanese are beaten, the more our Chinese people will resolve their hatred! Meng Xiang said again.
"That's right! We must completely shatter the confidence of the Japanese people, lest they will not have a restless life in the future! Fan Chong also smiled.
"In the future? There is no future for the Japanese! Meng Xiang shook his head slightly and said leisurely,
……
"I order, all attack!" At 2 o'clock in the morning on August 21, Meng Xiang, who had been waiting all night, issued an order to attack the Japanese mainland. When the staff officers hurriedly prepared to send an attack signal to the generals waiting in various places, Meng Xiang added a sentence in the end:
"Kill Little Japan completely!"
