After finding a way to deal with acoustic homing torpedoes, the Japanese thought that this operation would not pose much of a problem. However, when the Japanese transported Indian troops back to Australia through the fleet, they suffered heavy losses in the face of the newly equipped Weiyueyan-class submarines and wire-guided torpedoes of the National Defense Force.
And unlike the acoustic homing torpedoes of the past, these wire-guided torpedoes are not only faster and more accurate, but also more powerful!
As a result, when the Japanese transported their troops in India back to Australia, they had already paid the price of several divisions in the vast Indian Ocean.
Fortunately, the Japanese finally transported most of their troops back to Australia. Otherwise, facing the losses on the list, I am afraid they would really cry without tears.
In addition, after inspecting the nuclear industry base in Lop Nur, Yan Guang quickly returned to Beijing to prepare for another major event.
Just as Yan Guang once said, he is also very busy.
And now, there is such a big thing that he needs to do, and that is to rush to Tehran to attend a meeting
It is also known as the Tehran Conference
Historically, because of Iran¡¯s pro-German tendencies, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union once joined forces to invade Iran, which was the so-called Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran.
The Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran was a military operation in which the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union jointly sent troops to intervene in Iran from August 25 to September 17, 1941, in order to ensure the safety of Iran¡¯s oil fields and aid channels to the Soviet Union. The result of the invasion was the abdication of Shah Reza Khan of Iran and the elimination of all Nazi Germany's influence in Iran.
However, unlike history, before the British and Soviet Union invaded Iran, the National Defense Forces stationed in Central Asia had already invaded Iran under Yan Guang's instructions and completely annexed Iran and made it a province of China.
Let¡¯s not mention for the moment the uprisings that took place in Iran after the annexation of Iran. After China annexed Iran, Britain and the Soviet Union had no excuse to invade Iran.
And because they needed China¡¯s support, Britain and Russia had to recognize China¡¯s annexation of Iran.
Of course, they will definitely not be willing to do so.
When the time entered 1943, the entire pattern of the war began to change.
It was originally in 1939, when World War II just broke out. The Allied forces retreated all the way. First, France surrendered more than a month after the war began, and then came the Dunkirk evacuation. Britain had to abandon the entire European continent and hide in the British Isles to endure the German bombing.
And when Operation Barbarossa began, Russia, which was originally entrenched in Eastern Europe, was surprisingly swept by the German army. Millions of Russian troops suffered heavy losses, and even the capital Moscow was threatened by the Germans.
On the other hand, Japan is also wreaking havoc in Southeast Asia.
Since there were basically no opponents in Southeast Asia, and with China at the time providing support in all aspects, the Japanese almost swept all the way in Southeast Asia. In the end, the Japanese expeditionary force even reached India, conquered the entire Australia, and finally even launched a surprise attack on the Americans in Hawaii.
The result of the raid was that the U.S. Pacific Fleet was completely annihilated, and Japan took advantage of the situation to seize Hawaii, which the United States was forced to abandon
In short, the Allies were in terrible shape during the first two years of the war.
¡°However, all this has changed a lot since China also participated. First, Japan was beaten so hard by China in Southeast Asia. Then Germany was also driven out of Moscow.
The situation of the Allies has begun to reverse
Now, Yan Guang is going to take a plane to Tehran to hold a meeting with other allied heads of government on the war with the Axis Powers.
This meeting was originally scheduled to be held in Cairo or Casablanca, but in the end it was chosen in Tehran, partly because it is relatively close. Another reason is China¡¯s strong demands.
Although at this time several other members of the Allied Forces have become very wary of China. But at this time, the Allies still need China very much, and naturally they are not willing to have a stalemate with China on this matter.
So the National Defense Force fully occupied the Nanyang Islands. And as they began to prepare for the offensive against New Zealand and Australia, the heads of allied countries also went to Tehran
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
With heads of state heading to Tehran, Tehran¡¯s security work will naturally become important. Although I came to Tehran at the request of China, to be honest, since China has just annexed Tehran a few years ago, there are still many unstable factors in Tehran.
Especially due to Tehran¡¯s pro-German tendencies in the past, you must know that the reason why Britain and the Soviet Union invaded Iran was because the Shah of Iran refused to expel the Germans in Iran.
And now, with the help of the Iranian resistance organization, there are countless German spies hidden in Iran.
In the historical year of 1943, in order to negotiate accelerating the war process and the arrangement of the post-war world, the leaders of the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain decided to hold a meeting in Tehran, the capital of Iran, at the end of that year. Unwilling to fail, Hitler appointed his confidant and Nazi SS Special Forces leader Skorzeni to be responsible for the assassination of the "Big Three". The latter had successfully rescued Italian dictator Mussolini on September 12, 1943. action.
Therefore, security work must be stepped up
"But to be honest, I really should have done this a long time ago"
When he said this, Yan Guang was lying on a bed.
To be precise, I should be lying on a bed installed on an airplane
It takes about 4 hours to fly from Beijing to Lop Nur. How long does it take to fly from Beijing to Tehran?
The last trip to Lop Nur made Yan Guang suffer enough, so before leaving this time, Yan Guang specially asked people to remove most of the seats on the plane and install a bed on them. Even during the flight, Yan Guang can rest comfortably on the bed.
If necessary, Yan Guang can even choose to sleep on this bed
Anyway, Yan Guang doesn¡¯t need to fly to the battlefield to inspect the situation and issue some random orders like Principal Jiang
Yan Guang not only installed a bed on the plane, but also made a small room in it. Although there was no TV or anything for him to watch - there was already a TV in this era. In the early years, At the Berlin Olympics, which was the Olympics before the war broke out, Germans had already started watching the Olympics on television.
However, the technical level of televisions in this era is still relatively low. And watching TV on a plane requires too much technology
But it doesn¡¯t matter, I¡¯m lying on the bed now anyway. There is an adjutant on each side, and a secretary in his arms. He is holding a book to turn the pages for Yan Guang, but it is much more enjoyable than watching TV
¡°Ding-deng-deng¡¡±
A series of knocks on the door.
"What's up?"
I heard a knock on the door. An adjutant stood up from Yan Guang's arms, straightened his clothes and asked crisply.
"The plane is about to arrive in Tehran"
After hearing the adjutant¡¯s question, an accompanying official spoke outside the door.
"Okay" said the adjutant and turned his head to Yan Guang. "Master, the plane is coming soon"
"I know" He nodded and straightened his clothes. Yan Guang also stood up. "Let's go."
After about two or three minutes, the plane began to land at the Tehran airport. After taxiing for a while on the runway, the fuselage vibrated and the plane landed on the runway
"Huh, Tehran"
Looking at the completely different scenery outside and inland, Yan Guang slowly stepped off the plane.
At this time, the mayor of Tehran, an Iranian official who originally served in the Pahlavi dynasty, came over.
"Mr President¡"
"How many people have come already?"
"The heads of state have almost arrived"
In fact, they all arrived, and Yan Guang was the slowest one.
The heads of state who came to Tehran this time. Almost all are major members of the Allied Forces. Such as the British Churchill, the Russian Stalin and the American Roosevelt, as well as the free French de Gaulle and Henri Giraud.
Henri Giraud is a five-star general in the French Army (equivalent to a four-star general in NATO countries such as the United States). During World War II, he commanded the army in northern France. He was captured by the Germans in 1940. After escaping in 1942, he served as commander-in-chief of the French army in North Africa. In 1943, he served as chairman of the French Committee for National Liberation with de Gaulle. In 1944, he retired due to differences with de Gaulle.
At this time, Henri Giraud had not yet had any disagreements with de Gaulle. He has not retired from his current position, so this is the Tehran meeting. Henri Giraud also came with de Gaulle.
As for why France participated in this meeting, it was because of the requirements of the United States, Britain and Russia.
Because at this time, China¡¯s influence has even expanded to Europe. Therefore, the United States, Britain and other countries also began to discuss plans to support France. Although France's performance in World War II was really ugly, France is, after all, one of the most powerful countries in European history, not to mention that today's Vichy France also hasWith certain strength, if France can stand up again, it will still be very effective in checking and balancing China's influence in Europe.
Of course, it is also to check and balance Russia. After all, Russia is also a threat to Western countries.
For the United States, it is also very important to use France to balance the United Kingdom. After all, after Germany's defeat, if a country like France does not exist, it is difficult to say that the United Kingdom will not become the dominant one
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
"Is everyone here?"
Hearing what the mayor of Tehran said, Yan Guang nodded.
"Where do they live now?"
"Right now, we are staying in the consulates of various countries in Tehran. In addition, we have made appropriate arrangements, so please rest assured, President, there will definitely be no problems"
When he said this, the mayor of Tehran acted loyally.
In order to attack Iran, Yan Guang made a lot of infiltrations into Iran, and he was one of the results.
Of course, knowing people knows faces but doesn¡¯t know hearts. No one knows whether this guy¡¯s loyalty is on the surface or even in his heart. But letting him be the mayor here is indeed a good choice. After all, he is relatively obedient among Iranians.
In fact, there is nothing we can do about this. Although China has an overwhelming advantage over Iran, it is not easy to eliminate the resistance of the Iranians. Therefore, the National Socialist Government always needs to release some goodwill
While Yan Guang was still chatting there, Roosevelt, Churchill and De Gaulle also gathered together at the U.S. Consulate to discuss matters related to the Tehran Conference. As for Stalin? He has been automatically excluded.
After all, almost no one here likes the hammer-and-sickle Soviet Union.
"Do you really want to do this? I think it might be better to stop the war just like that" When he said this, Churchill looked at Roosevelt and de Gaulle. "The power of the Chinese has been expanding faster and faster. If we do not retain as many countries as possible that can compete with China, the world in the future may"
Just now, Churchill put forward his own idea, which was to stop the war like this.
in other words. That is to say, a peace treaty is proposed to Germany and Japan. As long as these two countries are willing to occupy some of the countries they currently occupy, it is not impossible to have conditional peace talks with the Axis powers.
After being successfully dismembered in India, for Churchill. The most important thing at the moment is to limit China's expansion and prevent China from occupying Australia.
Obviously, if Germany and Japan, which still have considerable strength, can continue to exist, it will undoubtedly be a very favorable condition for checking and balancing China. After all, both Germany and Japan are quite hostile to China now.
And if China does not agree. Then Britain and the United States can take this opportunity to break away from the war and let China face Germany and Japan at the same time. Countries such as Britain and the United States can even take advantage of this opportunity to support Germany and Japan behind their backs, allowing these countries that Churchill hates from the bottom of his heart to fight each other.
As for forgiving Germany and Japan, that is naturally impossible, but in order to win this war, Churchill was even willing to cooperate with Russia, whom he hated the most. That being the case. So what's the point of cooperating with the Axis powers once?
For Churchill. As long as China, the 'biggest threat to the civilized world', can be eliminated, then it is okay to cooperate with the damn fascists.
However, after listening to Churchill's words, Roosevelt and de Gaulle both shook their heads after a moment of silence.
"it's out of the question¡"
When Roosevelt said this, he used an affirmative tone.
"Because of the incident at Pearl Harbor, the people in the country had an extremely strong dislike for Japan, and in order to boost morale during the war, we also used many methods. Now is the time when the Allied forces are in good condition. But suddenly they have to It is absolutely impossible for the people in the country to accept an announcement to stop the war."
De Gaulle on the side also nodded. However, since France during this period was completely dependent on Britain and the United States, de Gaulle did not speak.
At this time, Roosevelt also continued.
"And even if we agree at the same time, will the British people agree?"
During the bombing of London, an unknown number of ordinary people in Britain died. Many people in Britain already hated Germany, especially the Nazis. Now is the time to counterattack. If Churchill suddenly announced a ceasefireIn the event of a war, even if he was once the Prime Minister of the British, he would probably be torn into pieces by ordinary people.
And thinking of this, Churchill could only remain silent
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Not long after Churchill¡¯s proposal was refuted, the summit meeting among the five countries, which was the Tehran Conference in the true sense, was held.
At this meeting, the five heads of state had direct contact for the first time and had many conversations with each other. However, Yan Guang could clearly feel that the other four heads of state were clearly resistant to him. Regarding this emotion, Yan Guang just smiled softly in his heart.
At the same time, the five countries also raised many issues at the meeting.
After the normal meeting lasted for about half a month, the entire Tehran meeting finally came to an end. At this meeting, many countries resolved many issues and reached agreement on some points.
But the most important thing is about the division of the post-war world pattern.
At the meeting, the heads of state reached a consensus. After the meeting, President Roosevelt announced at a press conference in Casablanca on the 24th that the Allies would continue the war between Germany, Italy, and Japan until the three countries "unconditionally surrender." ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªIn other words, the war will continue until these Axis powers are defeated
The meeting also discussed the war situation in Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific in the late World War II and the subsequent war against the Axis Powers, and negotiated on strengthening the bombing of Germany, Turkey's position in the war, and the fate of the colonies. It also determined that Japan would return all islands it had occupied in the Pacific since World War I.
In addition, the Soviet Union can receive some land in eastern Poland as reward, and Russia promises to participate in the war against Japan after the war with Germany is over. In addition, the decision was adopted to open a second battlefield in Europe before May 1, 1944, that is, the Normandy landing.
But the most important thing is about the United Nations.
After consultations among the heads of state, it was decided to establish the United Nations to replace the past League of Nations. It has to be said that the League of Nations did not play any role in the past.
At the same time, the heads of state also discussed the location of the United Nations headquarters.
There are currently several options, such as London in the United Kingdom, Paris in France, Brussels in Belgium, and Moscow in Russia¡ªthis hope is the smallest.
In addition, there are Beijing and Shanghai in China, Washington and New York in the United States, and even Berlin in Germany and Tokyo in Japan are included, and even Rome in Italy is included¡ª¡ªaccording to them , if the headquarters is in Rome, you can also go to the Vatican to see God in the future.
But the most popular one right now is Hawaii, because according to the consensus reached by China and the United States, Hawaii will completely become a world-class country in the future. At the same time, China and the United States will also form a line on the location of Hawaii and rate each other in the Pacific
In short, the entire conference is probably equivalent to the sum of the Casablanca, Cairo and Tehran conferences in history (To be continued.)
