Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The last stop of the two German Navy nuclear submarines' round-the-world voyage was Japan.  When the two German nuclear submarines arrived in Tokyo Bay, they shocked the Chinese Empire.

    Although the Imperial Chinese Navy has vigorously strengthened its anti-submarine capabilities, in addition to the Osprey Y-2 anti-submarine patrol aircraft entering combat readiness duty, many helicopter carriers have also been equipped with Z-6 anti-submarine helicopters equipped with the same anti-submarine equipment.  The anti-submarine power from the air of the Chinese Empire continued to increase, leaving the German submarines with almost nowhere to hide. However, this did not break the nuclear balance between China and Germany, but instead took further counterattacks than the German alliance.

    After two German nuclear submarines visited Japan, Hitler sent his right-hand man von Treskov to visit Japan to pave the way for Hitler's official visit to Japan.

    In fact, the contact between Germany and Japan is no longer a matter of one or two days.  As early as the middle of World War II, Hitler began to have contact with East Japan, West Japan, and North Japan.  Germany's strategy at that time was to contain the Chinese Empire, with the intention of supporting three Japanese countries to contain the Chinese Empire in the Pacific, and delaying the Chinese Empire's participation in the war as long as possible.

    But at that time, Germany was busy with the war and did not provide enough support to the three Japanese countries, so it failed to complete the strategic task of containing the Chinese Empire.

    The end of World War II saved Germany from death, but Hitler¡¯s ambitions remained unchanged.  He was actively preparing for World War III, so Japan remained his strategic focus.

    As the Chinese Empire vigorously strengthens its missile defense system and air anti-submarine capabilities, the deterrence of Delian's intercontinental ballistic missiles against the Chinese Empire continues to decline. Delian's nuclear submarines almost dare not leave the port, and the secondary nuclear counterattack force has also been greatly weakened.  .

    The situation became increasingly unfavorable to the German Alliance, and Hitler had to take more extreme measures to balance the delicate nuclear balance between China and Germany.

    The Japanese Island War in the Pacific made Hitler see new opportunities.

    On March 5, the forty-sixth year of Guanghua, East Japan, West Japan, and North Japan avoided the intervention of the Chinese Empire and held a secret meeting on the unification of Japan in Edo.  At the meeting, Tojo proposed various plans to end the melee situation among Japan's three kingdoms, unify Japan, and restore the former glory of the Japanese Empire.  It was unanimously agreed by representatives of the three countries.

    The Chinese Empire¡¯s strategy towards Japan has always been to maintain the status quo, that is, to keep Japan in a state of three-nation separation and fighting.  Now the three Japanese governments plan to unify, which is the outcome that the Chinese Empire is least willing to see.

    Diplomatic pressure has been of no avail. The three governments have decided to form a coalition government on May 1 and restore the title of Imperial Japan.  Therefore, the Chinese Imperial Cabinet and the Ministry of Defense immediately held consecutive meetings and finally decided to send troops to intervene in the unification of Japan.

    The Chinese Empire has always retained a certain amount of military power in Japan. Among them, there are not many army troops, and there is only one marine brigade at the Sasebo base.  The Navy's Seventh Cruiser Squadron of the Pacific Fleet is stationed in Sasebo.  There were only a dozen cruisers, destroyers, and submarines.

    In its strategy against Japan, the Chinese Empire has always pursued the tactic of using Japan to control Japan.  The number of times the Chinese Imperial Army directly participated in combat operations was very small. They always used Japanese servant troops to raid and suppress the Japanese guerrillas who resisted the Chinese Empire.

    With the compromise and reunification of the three parties in Japan, the Japanese Civil War ended.  Hideki Tojo became the supreme commander of the 450,000-strong Japanese army.  This man was extremely militant and a firm believer in Hitler's prison diary.  At the same time, he is also one of the people with the most hostile attitude towards the Chinese Empire.

    Tojo Hideki became the head of the Japanese Empire as he wished. He refused to recognize the various unequal treaties imposed by the Chinese Empire on Japan, and demanded that the Chinese imperial troops withdraw from Japanese territory and other extremely provocative military behaviors.

    The Chinese Empire regards the Pacific as the inner lake and backyard of the empire. It will never allow the emergence of a disobedient country and a leader with a hostile attitude towards the Chinese Empire.

    On May 2, the 46th year of Guanghua, the day after Tojo Hideki came to power, the Chinese Empire used the new Japanese government's refusal to recognize various treaties previously signed with the Chinese Empire as an excuse and to develop offensive military forces.  Economic sanctions, military blockade and political isolation were imposed on Japan.

    The government of Hideki Tojo was expelled from the United Nations and the Warsaw Pact military bloc, leaving Japan politically isolated. No country in the entire Pacific Rim was willing to dialogue with it.  Even the German League and NATO countries as far away as Europe did not have the legitimacy of the new Japanese government, because during World War II, there were many Japanese servants in the Chinese empire, and they caused serious disasters to Germany and Italy at that time.  After the Japanese slave army entered Europe, they burned, killed, raped, and looted wherever they went.  Europeans hate it.

    The government of Tojo Hideki was politically isolated by the world, but this did not affect his rule of the Japanese Empire.  The Chinese Empire imposed a military blockade and economic sanctions on Japan, which completely disrupted Japan's maritime trade and caused heavy economic losses.  However, Tojo Hideki did notInstead of surrendering, they took the opportunity to stir up nationalist hatred and carried out wanton military expansion and war preparations.

    On July 7, the forty-sixth year of Guanghua, three aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy entered Tokyo Bay.  A large-scale sea, land and air military exercise was held near Tokyo Bay with more than a dozen warships and marine brigades of the Pacific Fleet's Ninth Squadron stationed at the Yokosuka base.

    At nine o'clock in the evening that day, the Chinese imperialists used the excuse that an imperial soldier was missing from the Yokosuka Naval Base and requested to send marines into Tokyo to search.  Tojo Hideki's government immediately refused, and the Chinese imperialists then launched an attack on Tokyo.

    As the fighter group of the Imperial Chinese Navy Air Force dropped aerial bombs on the Japanese barracks in Tokyo Bay, the 17th Armored Brigade of the Imperial Chinese Marine Corps launched a surprise attack on the Mari Camp in Tokyo. The Japanese army fought back under the authorization of Tojo Hideki.  China and Japan went to war without declaring it.

    When the Sino-Japanese war broke out, there was a huge gap in military power between China and Japan.  The army, navy and air force of the Chinese Empire have already achieved mechanization and modernization, and have experienced the baptism of war in World War II. Whether it is equipment, tactics, or the combat quality of the personnel, they far surpass the Japanese army.

    The Tojo Hideki government has just completed the reunification. The military development of the original three Japanese countries is extremely uneven. Western Japan, which was once supported by the Chinese Empire, has better equipment. It is basically the world's mainstream equipment during World War II, and its military power is relatively stronger.  , with a scale of about 50,000.  The equipment of Northern Japan, which has always been against the Chinese Empire, is very backward. It is basically the equipment of World War I. However, it has a large number of troops, with a scale of more than 450,000, and is good at jungle guerrilla warfare.  East Japan has always been neutral, and its equipment and military strength are between those of the former two countries.

    Japan has just completed its unification.  All aspects of work are far from coordinated, and the merger of military commands is particularly divisive.  Tojo Hideki hoped to reuse his direct subordinates, but was opposed and resisted by the other two giants.

    As a result, the inconsistency in political and military orders made the Japanese army even more passive given that it was already lagging behind the Chinese Empire.

    On the night of the war, the Imperial Chinese Marine Corps, with strong naval and air force fire support, broke through the Japanese defense position at Mali, and the 50,000 Japanese troops collapsed without a fight.  The Chinese Emperor completely occupied Tokyo at noon the next day.  Tojo Hideki's government fled to Edo overnight.

    The battle did not stop here, and Tojo Hideki did not give in and continued to fight against the Chinese Empire.

    In the following three months, the Chinese Empire successively dispatched eight aircraft carrier battle groups.  More than 790 warships were deployed, 300,000 aircraft sorties were mobilized, 130,000 troops were mobilized to attack Japan, and more than 70 large and medium-sized cities in Japan were occupied.

    By mid-October, all coastal areas of Japan were under the control of the Chinese Empire.

    But Tojo Hideki and his army were not defeated. They retreated to the inland mountains and continued to fight the Chinese Empire.  The mechanized troops of the Chinese Empire were unable to launch a decent offensive in the backward mountainous areas of Japan. Instead, they were attacked by the Japanese troops fighting guerrillas everywhere, making logistical supplies difficult.  The offensive soon ended in the coastal plain area.  The attack on mountainous areas relied on naval and air force.

    Tojo Hideki has always refused to surrender. The Japanese army abandoned the city and accumulated strength in remote mountain villages. They used guerrilla warfare as the main method of combat. They refused to fight the Chinese imperialists head-on. They only made sneak attacks everywhere to attack the Chinese imperialist army's logistics supply lines.

    This war lasted for fifteen years.  The Japanese army paid a huge price with millions of casualties.  Finally a turning point came.

    The Chinese Empire was mired in the quagmire of the Japanese battlefield and could not extricate itself. Every year, huge military expenditures were spent on encircling and suppressing Japanese guerrillas, but they were still unable to eliminate Tojo. On the contrary, the Japanese people became more and more inclined to support Tojo.

    Hitler was originally not optimistic about Hideki Tojo. He did not think that Hideki Tojo could survive for long under the huge ships and artillery of the Chinese Empire.  But for more than ten years, Tojo Hideki not only has not been eliminated, but has become stronger and stronger.  At the same time, the German League was at a disadvantage in the Sino-German struggle for hegemony, and the military and economic advantages of the Chinese Empire almost overwhelmed Hitler.  In this unfavorable situation, Hitler decided to cooperate with Hideki Tojo.

    Hitler provided military equipment and technology to Tojo Hideki, and even gave Japan a large amount of free loans and financial assistance.  Tojo Hideki also believed that Japan's own capabilities could not compete with the Chinese Empire. He needed the military equipment and funds of the German Alliance. Therefore, Japan and Germany finally established diplomatic relations and soon became intimate like a honeymooning couple.

    at first.  The Chinese Imperial Government originally wanted to prevent the German Federation from getting closer to Japan, but the Chinese Imperial Party believed that the various military equipment and combat tactics of the Chinese Empire could be tested through the war in Japan. The Japanese army's use of the German Federation's equipment and military tactics was just right.  Accumulate experience for the Chinese Emperor.

    Therefore, the Chinese Imperial Government did not prevent the German Union from making peace with Japan.  The Japanese army was very fastA large amount of German military equipment was obtained and quickly modernized and armed.

    However, in the following years of war, the Japanese army was still no match for the Chinese Empire.  Although the Japanese army had advanced tanks, aircraft and artillery provided by the German Federation, the Japanese army did not have naval power, and sea control was completely in the hands of the Chinese Empire. However, the Japanese army lacked strategic depth and could not gain air control.

    In every battle, the Chinese Empire had the absolute advantage, causing the Japanese army to suffer heavy losses.

    The Chinese Emperor is happy to see this kind of war. By fighting the Japanese army, the Chinese Emperor can understand the performance and development direction of Delian's latest military equipment.

    Seeing that continuing this kind of war would not bring any benefit to the German Alliance, Hitler decided to take a desperate risk and deploy ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons in Japan.

    The National Security Bureau of the Chinese Empire soon discovered the military intentions of the German Federation. Regarding the German Federation¡¯s decision to deploy nuclear weapons in Japan, the Chinese Imperial Government was shocked and finally became angry.
