    Leap, the stroke of genius that shakes the world and the empire, the final chapter (the ending) (3146751).  (Please remember me) The disastrous defeat of the Third Mariana Battle ended the myth of the Japanese combined fleet being invincible since the Battle of the Yellow Sea in 1894, the raid on Port Arthur in 1904, and the Battle of Tsushima in 1905.  The powerful fleet was destroyed, and only the flagship "Yamato" led a group of defeated troops to retreat back to the mainland in great embarrassment. However, German reconnaissance planes flying day and night were monitoring the Japanese archipelago all the time, and the U.S. military departing from Saipan  Bombers frequently flew to Tokyo and other important cities to carry out bombings. The casualties of Japanese soldiers and civilians continued to increase, but the best defense had little effect.  Novel 0m In this case, the extreme right wing was strongly anti-German and carried out demonstrations by kidnapping German citizens and attacking German embassies abroad, controlled areas and even its domestic targets, which once caused panic in Germany.  In the summer of 1943, due to severe economic and financial crisis, the Italian government finally announced the end of its military operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since the beginning of the year, and launched armistice negotiations with the United States government. On the day the armistice agreement was reached, it also announced the lifting of the  All military alliances between the Japanese Empire.  After that, loans and aid from Germany and the United States began to flow into Italy, allowing this poor country with far higher self-esteem than strength to alleviate the crisis.  After that, the European United Fleet was officially announced. Its fleet headquarters was located in the beautiful maritime city of Venice. Italy, Germany, France, Britain, Finland, and then Spain, Portugal, Russia, Turkey and other pan-European countries joined in at the invitation of Germany and Britain.  , the United States officially stationed an observation liaison officer at the European Combined Fleet headquarters.  In September 1943, the United States officially launched the Philippines Campaign and once again severely defeated the Japanese combined fleet in the Battle of Medan. The last batch of elite ships such as the "Yamato" sank.  In the autumn of 1943, Japanese extreme right-wingers kidnapped Prince Oscar, a former member of the German royal family, and his children who were traveling to the United States. They used this to threaten the German government to withdraw long-range reconnaissance aircraft from the Far East and end military cooperation with the United States.  Prince Oscar, the fifth son of former Kaiser Wilhelm II, like most members of the royal family, has announced that he will no longer be involved in politics since Germany's defeat.  Although the era of the royal family has long ended, the kidnapping of former royal members still aroused strong indignation in Germany, with calls for the German government to put pressure on Japan, severely punish the murderers, and even declare war on Japan.  Under strong international pressure, the Japanese government had to step in to "rescue" the hostages and then return them to Germany.  As a result, the German government suspended the dispatch of reconnaissance aircraft to the Japanese archipelago for military reconnaissance. However, reconnaissance aircraft spray-painted with the U.S. Army Air Force logo began to frequently appear over the Japanese mainland. The German and American governments quickly reached a secret agreement.  That is, the United States will lease the aviation bases and corresponding equipment established by Germany in the Far East on a long-term basis in exchange for military bases located on the Atlantic Ocean.  In the winter of 1943, the U.S. "Manhattan Project" led by Oppenheim made a breakthrough in the atomic bomb work, and the first batch of enriched uranium was about to be produced.  By this time, the United States was ahead of Germany in nuclear engineering.  After long and difficult negotiations, based on Germany's concessions, Germany and the United States finally reached a secret agreement in January 1944 to cooperate in the development of atomic bombs. The German Royal Physical Laboratory sent technicians to the United States and provided support in terms of materials and funds.  Appropriate assistance.  Two months later, with the help of American technicians, Germany finally built its first graphite reactor and reached criticality. Germany's self-built heavy water reactor also successfully reached criticality not long after.  In December 1943, the Kingdom of Britain formally made a request to the Japanese government for the return of its former South Asian colonies. After being rejected, Britain declared war on Japan and sent troops to South Asia using Iran as a stepping stone.  Although the combat effectiveness of the British Kings was not comparable to that of the British Empire in the past, with the support of Germany and the United States and the positive response of the local people, they quickly recovered large areas of territory in Bangladesh and southern India.  In March 1944, the half-year-long Battle of the Philippines ended with the US military successfully occupying the entire territory. Due to the acquisition of an aviation base closer to the Japanese Islands, a large number of B-17s and B-24s flooded into the sky of the Japanese Islands like dark clouds.  The strategic bombing quickly destroyed Japan's domestic industry and razed cities to the ground Under this situation, Germany launched diplomatic mediation as a neutral country, trying to promote negotiations between the United States and Japan to end the war. The conditions included  Withdraw troops from all overseas occupied areas including China and North Korea, reduce the size of the Japanese army and navy, and re-sign and abide by the London Naval Agreement.  The Oiso cabinet considered accepting this mediation, but the Army's tough attitude and the coup launched by junior officers after hearing the news completely ruined this hope for peace.  The subsequent cabinet reshuffle fully demonstrated the characteristics of Japanese politics serving the military. The Japanese base camp immediately launched their plan for a decisive battle on the mainland: Make full use of the favorable terrain conditions of Japan's mainland to mobilize 100 million citizens who are loyal to the empire and have the spirit of Yamato to cooperate with the army.  combat??Use the remaining navy and air force to carry out special offensive operations, striving to eliminate the landing enemy forces at sea; the ground forces are concentrated in important areas of the mainland, deployed in depth, and carry out continuous counterattacks against the landing enemy forces, deciding the outcome of the war in one fell swoop. June 1944  In August, the U.S. military landed on Okinawa. Although it invested 200,000 troops and had absolute superiority in the sea and air, the battle took three months to end under the desperate resistance of 100,000 Japanese defenders. The Americans won the victory.  The team suffered extremely heavy casualties, and it also made U.S. senior officials seriously consider the price of landing in Japan.  After the Battle of Okinawa, the U.S. military suspended its landing operations on the southern islands of Japan, and then used all its bombers to bomb Japan.  The B-29 "Super Flying Fortress" officially entered service in the summer of 1943, more than 600 JU-490s purchased from Germany, and thousands of B-17s and B-24s were stationed at various airports in Okinawa.  The bombing was changed to day and night air raids, and the targets gradually shifted from industrial areas and large cities to medium-sized cities.  In January 1945, with the joint efforts of German and American scientists and technicians, the first experimental atomic bomb was successfully detonated in the desert of New Mexico, United States.  By February of that year, Germany and the United States had assembled three atomic bombs that could be used in actual combat. According to the agreement between Germany and the United States, the ownership of two of them belonged to the United States and one to Germany.  Finally, after urging the Japanese government to cease the war but being rejected, the United States decided to use atomic bombs. After secret deliberations, senior German politicians decided to donate the atomic bombs belonging to Germany to the US military for free.  On March 2, 1945, Hiroshima, Niigata, and Kokura became the first cities in human history to be hit by nuclear weapons. Urban buildings were razed to the ground, and there were countless casualties On April 1, 1945, another  On April Fool's Day, the Japanese government announced its unconditional surrender.  A few days later, the U.S. military landed on the Japanese mainland, and representatives of the participating countries and Japan formally signed an armistice agreement in Tokyo Bay.  Subsequently, the remaining Japanese troops began to withdraw from northern India, Thailand, China and North Korea, and were disarmed under the supervision of the victorious powers.  Also in April, 50 countries including Germany, the United States, France, Russia, and China sent representatives to participate in the "United States Conference on International Organizations" held in Munich, Germany, and finally adopted the "United Nations Charter." However, the nature of this international organization  The initiator, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, unfortunately died of illness during the meeting.  The war that spread to most of the world has finally ended, but international competition and local wars still exist.  With their strong military, industrial and economic strength, Germany and the United States have become superpowers capable of influencing the world structure. However, people are surprised to find that as the instigator of the European part of this world war, Germany has experienced a series of political changes in the middle and late stages of the war.  The revolution has transformed from an evil fascist country into a democratic and free country. Their new leaders advocate building new international relations and international order based on mutual respect, and harsh nationalism and racism have been ruthlessly thrown into the mix.  The garbage dump of history, disarmament, fee reduction, and emerging overseas trade are developing at an alarming rate. It is likely to succeed the United Kingdom as the world's largest trading power, and a large amount of government funds have been invested in supporting the development of high-tech and cutting-edge technology industries.  superior.  Regarding the surging national independence movements in the colonies and occupied areas, Berlin's rulers also showed a tolerant mind. As long as Germany's local economic interests were maintained to the maximum extent, everything was acceptable.  "Mutual respect, regardless of strength or weakness, rich or poor, is the fundamental prerequisite for harmonious coexistence between countries." As a representative of the German government at the first session of the United Nations General Assembly, Hans Rogen said this.  That year, he shared the Nobel Peace Prize with the late President Roosevelt.  Many years later, when people look back at that period of history, they will find that there once was such a person. He had a keen historical vision and was able to assess the situation and control the overall situation. Every step he took was strategically forward-looking, and the competition and cooperation between the two powers  Although the relationship has existed for a long time, it has not evolved into vicious competition. Instead, it has restrained each other to prevent the other party from dominating and doing whatever they want.  Scholars who studied carefully also found that this distinctive military strategist and politician had a unique understanding of Eastern culture. During his long reign, he had repeatedly helped the great man with five thousand years of history.  An ancient country in the history of civilization, it has ushered in another historical spring in a relatively tolerant and balanced atmosphere Although Germany has escaped from the shadows under his rule, its rising national economy, strong industrial strength, and harmonious society have  A series of era-leading achievements such as satellites and moon landings have led people to jokingly call it the "Fourth German Reich", and he is regarded as a figure comparable to any great man in German history.  The uncrowned king.
