Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    During the competition between China and Germany on the Japanese battlefield, both sides invested huge manpower, material and financial resources to test each other's military strength, plunging the island country into a fifteen-year war.

    Japan has become a quagmire of war between the Chinese Empire and the German Alliance. Even for the super-developed country of the Chinese Empire, the military expenditure of up to 500 billion dragon coins in fifteen years is too much for it to bear, not to mention the economy that lags behind the Chinese Empire.  Delian is so extreme that its investment in Japan is more than that of the Chinese Empire due to the long distance, accumulating 1.2 trillion euros, equivalent to 635 billion dragon coins.

    The German League cannot stand this endless military expenditure. In addition, the German League's strategic nuclear deterrent force against the Chinese Empire is constantly weakened by the Chinese Empire's national missile defense system. The delicate nuclear balance between China and Germany is being rapidly broken. Therefore,  Hitler decided to end the war in Japan and deploy ballistic missile nuclear forces to Japan.  It can not only force the Chinese Empire to withdraw its troops from Japan, but also threaten the Chinese Empire's homeland at close range, killing two birds with one stone.

    But Hitler¡¯s calculation was wrong this time.  He grossly underestimated the extent to which the Chinese Empire cared about its own backyard.

    In March of the 1960s, at the invitation of Hitler, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo visited Berlin and was warmly welcomed by Hitler and the German League.

    In response to Japan's war situation, Hitler decided to provide the Tojo government with free offensive ballistic missile systems and anti-aircraft missile systems used to intercept missiles of the Chinese Empire.  In exchange, Tojo announced that Japan would join NATO and become a comprehensive political, economic and military ally of the German Alliance.

    The Chinese Empire issued a solemn protest and warning against the German Allied Forces' export of offensive missiles to Japan, but Hitler denied it.  His explanation was that he would only export defensive missile weapons to Japan.

    Since the Chinese Empire has no definite evidence, it has not taken any action for the time being.  The Imperial Chinese military used the excuse of testing Delian's missile defense system.  Prevent the cabinet from putting pressure on the German coalition government.  It just so happens that the cabinet coincides with the general election period, and the ruling party does not want a Sino-German war to occur during the election period.  Therefore, it acquiesced in the export of missile defense systems to Japan by the German Federation.

    However, the German military was not sure about this. After providing the Tojo government with the newly successfully developed Standard 2 land-based air defense missile by the German military, it secretly exported the R17 short-range ballistic missile and the R21 medium-range ballistic missile.  system.

    On July 12, the Imperial Space Administration of China launched a new type of reconnaissance satellite, which is mainly responsible for reconnaissance and surveillance missions in the Asia-Pacific region, especially the Japanese archipelago.

    Three days later, the reconnaissance satellite transmitted back photos of Japan¡¯s key military facilities taken from space.  NASA believes that what the Japanese military is building is not a short-range missile defense system. Several facilities appear to be medium-range ballistic missile launch sites.  But because the resolution of the sky photos is insufficient, the space agency is not completely sure.

    But this matter attracted great attention from the Chinese Imperial Military. The next day.  Eight e-2 long-range reconnaissance aircraft took off from the Chinese Empire's Baitan Military Base in Ryukyu, the Vladivostok Military Base in the Eastern Xinjiang Military Region, the Jeju Island Military Base in the Kingdom of Korea, and the Pearl Harbor Military Base in Hawaii.  Conduct a comprehensive survey of the Japanese archipelago and surrounding waters.

    Two days later, the investigation results came out, shocking the Chinese Imperial Military.  Aerial photos taken by the e-2 reconnaissance aircraft showed that the Japanese military began to install Delian Standard 2 anti-aircraft missiles, and also saw Delian ships carrying surface-to-surface ballistic missiles heading towards Japan.  Combined with the report of the Central Intelligence Agency of the Chinese Empire, it was concluded that the Delian transport ship was carrying medium-range ballistic missiles.

    On August 4, the Chinese Imperial Reichstag issued a statement confirming the military¡¯s disclosure of the German Federation¡¯s military assistance to Japan, including the installation of Standard 2 anti-aircraft missiles, R17, R21 ballistic missiles and approximately 5,200 Germans on the island nation.  Make technical service decisions.

    The German government naturally denied the judgment made by the Chinese Empire Congress Building.  Hitler, the head of the German League, sent a letter to the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao and the Prime Minister Li Kuimin, guaranteeing that the German League would not do anything that would harm the relations between China and Germany.  The Berlin Gazette also issued a statement on the 11th.  Denied that the German League transported offensive weapons to Japan because "the German League has the ability to provide support to any peace-loving country from its own territory."

    At this critical moment of the Zhengzheng election, Li Kuimin, the current Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire, encountered fierce competition from his strong opponent, candidate Zhou Laian from the People's Livelihood Party.  One-third of the country's 72 states and provinces have confirmed their support for Zhou Lane to be elected as the next imperial prime minister.  Lee Kyu-min's vote fell behind the opponent's because the long-term war against Japan has been criticized by the imperial citizens.  If Sino-German relations are not properly handled at this time, Li Kuimin's wish for re-election will not be realized.

    Therefore, Li Kuimin promised in his cabinet report to Wang Chenhao that the situation would not get out of control.  We do not believe that the weapons provided by Delian to Japan constituted a threat to China.A substantial and serious threat to the country.  There was no need for the Imperial Chinese government to take preemptive measures.  But he emphasized that as long as this threat arises or Japan becomes the base for the German Alliance to attack the Eastern Hemisphere.  He will take decisive measures to fight back.  And Wang Chenhao also chose to believe in Li Kuimin because of his feelings because he was Li Hongzhang's great-great-grandson.

    This matter was suppressed for the time being.

    Hitler¡¯s strategic advisory group believes.  Taking advantage of the Chinese Empire's cabinet election, when all political parties have no time to consider foreign affairs, they should take active actions to fully implement the plan to deploy ballistic missiles in Japan. Once it is a fait accompli, the Chinese Empire will have no chance to oppose it again.

    Hitler listened to the advice of his advisory group and instructed the German military to speed up the export of offensive ballistic missiles to Japan, and requested that the ballistic missile deployment plan in Japan be completed before the end of the election in the Chinese Empire.

    But paper cannot contain the fire.  People's Livelihood Party candidate Zhou Laian made full use of the power of public opinion. In addition to criticizing the incompetence of the Li Kuimin government for being unable to solve the Chinese Imperial Army's long-term quagmire in the Japanese war, he criticized the current government for ignoring the Delian's deployment of ballistic missiles in Japan and disregarding the people of the Chinese Empire.  Security again made accusations and received support from most of the country.

    After entering October, there were constant reports in the Chinese Empire about the establishment of a medium-range missile base in Japan by the German Federation.

    Wang Chenhao could no longer ignore the matter, so he ordered the Ministry of National Defense and the Intelligence Bureau to conduct in-depth investigation and evidence collection.  The Imperial Chinese military stepped up aerial reconnaissance and surveillance of Japan.  On the 12th, the E-2 reconnaissance aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Air Force obtained evidence that the Deutsche Alliance had built six medium-range missile bases in Japan.

    Three days later, the materials were compiled and sent to Wang Chenhao.

    Once Japan possesses medium-range ballistic missiles, it will directly threaten the eastern region of the Chinese Empire, and the capital Forbidden City will also be within its strike range.  Wang Chenhao was shocked and immediately convened an emergency imperial meeting. All members of the National Security Council stopped their election activities to attend the meeting and study countermeasures together.

    The meeting started at 9 a.m. on the 12th and lasted until the afternoon of the 20th.  The Executive Committee of the National Security Council, headed by Zhang Zizhong, was fully empowered to handle matters related to Japan. The key issue was to force the German Federation to withdraw its medium-range missiles from Japan.  Wang Chenhao finally made a decision: impose a complete blockade on Japan.

    Because of this incident, Li Kuimin ultimately lost his chance to be re-elected as Prime Minister, and Zhou Laian was elected as the 17th Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire.

    On the morning of the 22nd, Wang Chenhao issued a decree to formally appoint Zhou Laian as the Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire and ordered him to form a cabinet immediately.  Zhou Laian then completed the reorganization of the new government cabinet within one day, showing considerable strength.  At the same time, the Zhou Laian government carried out active activities for this purpose. On the one hand, it strengthened the military posture of the Chinese Empire in Northeast Asia and issued a level three combat readiness warning to all members of the Warsaw Pact. At the same time, it sought more diplomatic support.  (To be continued.)
