Gu Zhengzhi raised the third question: "The specific idea that our country originally expected to win against Britain first is that on the one hand, we hope that Germany and Italy will make progress in the war against the Middle East and North Africa, and on the other hand, we hope to cut off the ties between Britain, India and Australia through various means, and then expel the British forces in Myanmar to promote and encourage India. With the progress of the initial war in the south, the joint meeting of the base government made a decision on January 10 this year: to cut off the traffic between India and the United States and Britain, refuse to assist the UK and actively carry out the

The anti-British movement was aimed at, and the policy was gradually strengthened in combination with the progress of combat. Later, it was clear that the policy to India was mainly held by the Ministry of Army. According to the Japan-Germany, and Italy Military Agreement concluded on January 18, the regional boundary between the Japanese Army and Navy and the German-Italy Defense Forces was set to the 70th degree east longitude line. Most of India and the Indian Ocean belong to the Japanese combat area. Our country has no choice but to do so, but the Middle East and Arabian Peninsula areas in this combat mission that your country hopes for is not Japan's combat scope..."

"The Head of State also knows this issue. Due to the limitations of the combat situation and objective environment, the originally agreed combat areas and corresponding responsibilities may change." Kerr explained, "Our country has some advantages on the battlefield of North Africa. We can also use naval and air force to cut off the Mediterranean routes of Britain and the United States. However, Britain and the United States can still continuously deploy troops to the above areas through the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. Therefore, our country hopes to get strong assistance from Japan when attacking, use all forces, especially naval forces, to block the Western Indian Ocean, and ensure that the British and American reinforcements cannot land on the peninsula. This requirement does not mean that our country shifts the responsibilities that should have been fulfilled by Germany and Italy to your country. On the contrary, in order to achieve the above goals better and faster, we believe that your country should play a greater value in this battle. Given that Japan has exceeded its original responsibilities and scope, our country has decided to compensate accordingly - the conditions can be asked to ask your country to speak."

Cole knew that this was the real intention and purpose of Japan, and the printing degree was also forgotten. It was originally in Japan's strategic intention. If you still want to go to the Middle East and Arab regions to "help punches", who will do the unhealthy things?

The Germans made Japan speak so poorly. The three Japanese representatives began to twist. They pushed me and pushed me for a long time. In the end, Gu Zhengzhi came forward to be the villain. He handed over a document with the words top secret and said embarrassedly: "This is a request from our country to ensure the smooth battle, make up for consumption, and fill in other war zones due to the additional losses caused by the main force's western transfer. Please check it out."

Cole took it and saw that the request clause listed above really opened his eyes:

1. 2 million tons of high-quality steel, which should include 200,000 tons of special steel;

2. The transport ship carries a tonnage of 1 million tons. Both new and old can be used, but the tonnage of a single ship is required to be no less than 2,000 tons and the maximum speed is no less than 12 knots;

3,1,000 latest tanks are equipped with corresponding shells, and at the same time transfer drawings, patents and shell production lines;

4,1000 other vehicles (recommended for 500 trucks and 500 armored vehicles);

5,2,000 latest aircraft of all types (recommended 1,000 day/night fighters, 700 bombers, 300 reconnaissance aircraft and other special aircraft). If the aircraft is difficult to provide, it can also be changed to provide 4,000 advanced engines, or comprehensive adjustments are carried out according to this proportion;

6. Provide the latest models of aircraft engines, radars, and Zeiss optical instrument technical data and samples;

7. Ensure the future supply of crude oil to Japan, and the price will be agreed separately;

8. After the operation is completed, ensure that sufficient fuel and materials are supplemented to the joint fleet participating in the operation;

9. The above supply of materials is expected to be completed within two years. Among them, no less than 60% of them are the first year.

When he saw the eighth article, Cole couldn't help laughing out loud. The conditions were quite grand. At this point, the Japanese's petty aura was revealed - this supply requirement should be listed in the formal terms in a noble way? (Of course, he underestimated the Japanese's appetite, and later he couldn't laugh when he saw this clause, but this is a later story, so I won't mention it here for now)

Cole looked carefully twice, and did not rush to express his opinion, and asked back: "If my country agrees to the above conditions, how much help is your country willing to give us?"

"This..." The three people on the opposite side thought Cole would express their opinions first, and even prepared to get angry. Unexpectedly, Cole said so simply, and they were stunned for a moment. Shimomura Tatsuya asked stutter: "I think these terms can be agreed?"

"Can you agree to the final decision of the head of state? I am cautious and optimistic." Cole gently pushed the question over, "But at least the head of state also needs to understand your country's ideas. If you consider signing an agreement... well... are the right, responsibility and profit equal?"

Narimi Inoue didn't say anything, but just gave her a thumbs up quietly. This was the second time that Cole forced Shimomura to get busy: After all, the army's group of red deer were always seen too few international scenes.

"This is a constructive idea of ​​our country's base. You have not yet submitted your Majesty the final decision, but you can give your envoy a reference." Gu Zhengzhi took out another document, which reads Japan's obligations:

1. The joint fleet draws the main fleet to block the Western Indian Ocean, ensure that the British and American reinforcements cannot land and does not constitute a combat threat to the German and Italian army, and waits for an opportunity to annihilate its reinforcements. Considering the sustainability of combat, the time cannot exceed one month;

2. Support the German and Italian troops to occupy the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula, and provide aviation and fleet support if necessary;

3. If conditions permit, provide aviation and fleet support and support the German and Italian troops to occupy Madagascar;

4. Supply 100,000 tons of rubber, 10 tons of gold, 20 tons of tungsten and chromium ore, and 100 tons of tin and lead ore;

5. Give Germany the latest aircraft carriers, battleships and super-large submarine design drawings;

6. Ensure the future supply of German rubber, raw silk, mica and other tropical products, and the prices will be agreed separately;

7. All material transportation is provided by Japan.

After reading it, Kerr expressed his understanding. He silently put away the two documents and asked: "If possible, when will your country complete all preparations and break into the Indian Ocean?"

Komatsuki couldn't answer this question. He turned his attention to the two sub-district officials of the army and navy. Of course, Shimomura Taki could not decide either, because the departure and arrival time depended entirely on the navy. Inoue Narimi pondered for a moment, as if she had made up her final determination and said: "If your country can reply and accept the package agreement within 5 days, our country will immediately petition the Holy Punishment. If a consensus is reached within three days, our fleet will break into the Western Indian Ocean no later than December 15 this year..."

"I will go back to Germany immediately to report to the head of state and expect to give your country a clear reply within 3 days."

"My country is waiting for good news."

The staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs arranged for Cole to leave first, and the other three had to discuss it again, and this discussion could not be heard by Cole.

"Will some lions speak out in these conditions?" Gu Zhengzhi rubbed his hands uneasyly, "If the Germans invest so many resources, they can win themselves, and we still need our help?"

"Otherwise, Germany may be able to provide these resources, but it will definitely not be fully transferred in the short term, let alone investing in the Middle East battlefield at one time." Inoue Narimi said carefully, "The envoy should be very clear that Japan is not strong enough and needs these materials and equipment to promote the Indian Ocean strategy. If these things are available, India's success in combat will be much more likely."

"But I'm very curious, how likely is the Germans to agree to these conditions? These supplies are almost the supply required by Japan in a year." Gu Zhengzhi smiled embarrassedly.

"If Germany is eager to do so, I think it should be possible..." Shimomura Tatsuya scratched his scalp, "I mean that Germany can agree at least 80%.

"In fact, it is better to have Germany provide 2,000 aircraft than to have them provide 4,000 engines. In terms of transportation difficulty, the engine is small in size and light in weight. There is not much difference between us and Germany in aluminum, and our pilots may not be used to flying German or Italian aircraft..."

"The Germans won't fool us with backward models, right?"

"The Germans disdained to do this. We also have diplomatic envoys and military officers in Berlin. How advanced can be seen at a glance." Speaking of this, Inoue Narimi suddenly asked Komatsuyuki strangely, "In the past, the ambassadors of Oshima had long telegrams to inform Germany, but they have not seen any notification of the situation recently."

"Don't mention... the password he used was deciphered. The Germans were very annoyed by him. Last time it was said that he was severely scolded by Minister Ribintrop." Gu Zhengzhi took the opportunity to say, "The new crypto machine provided by Germany also needs to be considered for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"Yes, yes, if the password is not deciphered, the Navy would not have been defeated in Midway Island." Tadashi Shimomura said casually, and after a while he realized that Inoue Nakami was sitting next to him and quickly explained, "I'm not blaming the Navy, I mean that those four aircraft carriers are really a pity. If they were still there, why would we transfer from Guadalam now..."

"Kun Shimomura, all these have passed. It's time to unite and look forward." Inoue Narimi was not annoyed, but said lightly.

"Suddenly, I'm looking forward to the Indian Ocean strategy." Shimomura said in an excited tone, "If Germany agrees, Japan's materials and equipment will be completely renewed. The Army believes that steel, aircraft, materials and other technical information can be divided into two parts by the Army and Navy, and the Army requires 30%, and all tanks and trucks belong to the Army..."

Inoue Naimi stopped Shimomura Tatsuma, who was still unsatisfied, "Don't you think it's too early to distribute supplies now? It's not certain whether the Indian Ocean battle can start."

"This, am I in a hurry..."
