"While inspecting the front line, Admiral Yamamoto Nanichijohachi was attacked by a U.S. air attack and was burned to death by a new type of U.S. bomb."
Wei Wu looked at the top-secret telegram in his hand with a smile on his face.
"General Jonathan, I have good news for you. Yamamoto was killed."
Wei Wu threw the telegram to Jonathan.
"real?"
Jonathan stood up excitedly after hearing this.
Yamamoto is Admiral, the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, and the core of the Japanese Navy.
Being able to kill him will definitely greatly improve the morale of the Allied Forces.
"We must vigorously publicize and severely combat the arrogance of these Japanese devils."
After saying that, Jonathan remembered that Wei Wu seemed to be Japanese too.
He quickly added: "Sorry, I didn't mean you..."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not Japanese anyway."
Wei Wu waved his hand: "I'll tell you a secret. In fact, my birthplace was in Ryukyu, but it was forcibly occupied by Japan. I hope that after Japan is defeated, Ryukyu can regain its independence."
"This is easy to handle. If you can go back, I will definitely help you fight for it. Moreover, with your contribution, it shouldn't be difficult to restore Ryukyu to the country."
Jonathan glanced at the map.
On the map, Ryukyu is just a series of inconspicuous islands.
To Jonathan, this was just an insignificant place.
Letting it regain its independence is just a matter of words.
Jonathan didn't know the importance of Ryukyu, but Wei Wu did.
There are a large number of natural deep-water harbors here.
And guard the central core area of the first island chain.
After the airport was built, it became an unsinkable aircraft carrier.
The radiation range is from Tokyo to Manila, from Mount Kumgang to Sun Moon Lake, all within its coverage area.
It is an important strategic hub for the entire Far East.
Whoever controls this place controls the main routes to the Far East.
Therefore, in the future, this place must no longer be controlled by Mi Ri.
At least let it be independent.
However, Jonathan's guarantee alone is not enough, more forces are needed to participate.
If you muddy the water, things will be easier to handle.
"Fighting Japan is a big deal and we need to unite all our forces."
Wei Wu said from the side.
"Yes, all forces should be united."
Jonathan nodded repeatedly.
During the Battle of Bataan Fortress, the Japanese's desperate look frightened him.
If possible, he certainly didn't want to have a direct conflict with these mad dogs.
It's best to bring in more people to share the firepower.
"Currently, the entire Southeast Asia has become a Japanese colony, and the only independent country, Thailand, has also turned to Japan. Therefore, we can only rely on the power of surrounding countries."
Wei Wu said as he unfolded the map.
"There are four forces in total around Southeast Asia."
"Although the Soviet Union in the north does not border Japan on land, it still has the Pacific Fleet, which is separated from Hokkaido by the Soya Strait."
"As long as the combined fleet is destroyed, they can use transport ships to transport soldiers to Hokkaido."
Wei Wu pointed at the giant bear in the north with his pointer and said.
"The Soviets are indeed powerful, but are they willing to take action? I heard that they are fighting a bloody battle with the Germans in Stalingrad."
Jonathan asked.
"They would be willing because here is the ice-free harbor they have always dreamed of."
Wei Wu's pointer pointed to the south of Hokkaido.
"Moreover, it doesn't mean that they need to take action now. Their Pacific Fleet is not enough to fight against the Combined Fleet. But as long as the Combined Fleet is destroyed, they can take action without any scruples to contain Japan's forces from the north."
Wei Wu said.
"If the port is not frozen, they will definitely take action."
Jonathan also knows the lure of ice-free harbors for furry bears.
Since the time of Peter the Great, Tsarist Russia has been looking for an ice-free port.
The ten Russo-Turkish wars, the eastward expansion movement, and the Russo-Japanese War were all fought around the ice-free port.
The furry bears in the north are willing to pay any price if it can get them a frost-free port.
"I agree in principle with this, but we still need to convince the country. Although we have different ideologies, for the sake of our common enemy, I believe they will agree."
Jonathan said.
Wei Wu had no doubt about this.
When the Soviet Union was in the most difficult times, the United States had been assisting the Soviet Union with cars and food.
Although it is also based on interest considerations, both sides are still willing to put aside their prejudices when facing a common enemy.
Otherwise, in history, Miying would not have repeatedly urged the Soviet Union to go south to destroy the Kwantung Army after defeating Desan.
"In addition to the Soviet Union, the northern powers are also a target that can be won over."
Wei Wu's pointer moved downwards.
"Aren't they attacking the Japanese? Can they still spare their troops?"
Jonathan asked.
"Your news is out of date."
Wei Wu said with a smile: "They have regained their territory and eliminated 2.7 million Japanese troops. They have also formed a large number of artillery and tank troops."
"Their shortcomings are the lack of shipyards and equipment, the lack of a navy, and the inability to go to sea to fight."
"My opinion is that the United States will provide some engineers and equipment to help them build shipyards. They will go south from the land and harass the Japanese troops in Southeast Asia. This will leave the Japanese army free to look at the direction of Guadalcanal, thus reducing the number of American troops in the south. resistance."
Wei Wu said.
"Are you so powerful?"
Jonathan stood up and looked at the map.
The border between the northern power and Southeast Asia stretches for thousands of miles.
If they really have the ability to go south to harass the Japanese army, they will be able to greatly contain the Japanese army's power.
Although the American army had an advantage on Guadalcanal, it also suffered a lot.
It would be great if someone could restrain it.
As for aid in building shipyards, that's not even a problem.
Now that the United States has overcapacity, it happens to relocate some of its production abroad and consume some of its production capacity.
"Any more?"
Jonathan asked excitedly.
“British Indian Subcontinent.”
Wei Wu's pointer pointed west.
"They are closely connected to Southeast Asia. If they can send troops, they may be able to contain it."
Wei Wu said.
"Ah this..."
Jonathan hesitated.
Even in the United States, he is well aware of the unreliability of the British.
It is almost commonplace to betray teammates and run away alone.
And, what's even worse is that their men are led by Indians who are even more unreliable.
Is there anything more catastrophic than this?
When you need them, they will most likely pull a big one for you on the spot.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Allies were interested.
Moreover, these guys are extremely greedy, with little ability and a lot of appetite.
It is not enough to forget one's righteousness and take advantage.
However, based on the idea that one more person is also a strength.
Jonathan still said: "You can contact them, but it is best to regulate their combat areas so as not to affect our overall situation."
