Another imperial meeting was held, and various parties argued with each other. Hirohito heard that all parties seemed to be reasonable and hesitated. Finally, he decided to establish military bases in Indochina, especially air force bases, to station troops and accumulate food.
He led a diplomatic team to further negotiate with the United States, hoping that the United States would not interfere in Southeast Asian affairs.
Tokyo
Jiang Cheng saw that most of the passers-by on the streets of Tokyo were dishonest, and couldn't help but shook his head. Japan's foreign aggression did not benefit the people at all. All the resources plundered in China were turned into new weapons. As far as Jiang Cheng knew, the Japanese army now
China has begun to replace its divisions with new equipment, such as the Type 99 rifle with light weapons, the Type 99 light machine gun with heavy weapons, the Type 1 47mm anti-tank gun with heavy weapons Type 2 120mm mortars, the Type 1 and Type 2 tanks, and other new types of equipment.
The Type Zero tanks and aircraft have begun mass production, and the Type 1 fighter jets of the Army Aviation have also begun to enlist in the army. In the past half a year, the weapons level of the Japanese army has reached a higher level.
Jiang Cheng came here not for anything else, but to prepare to detonate the financial bomb.
When Bashun saw Jiang Cheng, he almost burst into tears with excitement. He hugged Jiang Cheng and shouted to his boss in Japanese, probably because he realized that he had spoken the wrong language. Bashun quickly said it again in Chinese.
Jiang Cheng quickly pushed him away and looked at Bashun, who looked like a man in a suit and leather suit. He smiled and said, "That's good. I'm basically relieved to see you dressed like this. It seems like you're enjoying a lot. How about it, you're a little bit happy and reluctant to think about Shu's power."
Bashun quickly defended, "Don't say that, Dongjia. You don't know that there are Japanese people everywhere here. I really live like a year. Dongjia, please change me back quickly."
Jiang Cheng said nonchalantly that he wanted to go back. It's easy. When the little devil surrenders, you can go back.
Ah, the little devil surrendered. Bashun suddenly looked bitter.
Next to him, Mashiro asked Jiang Cheng whether his boss had gotten some news, whether it was the United States that was planning to attack Japan.
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Well, Roosevelt's fireside speech a few days ago was a signal that the United States has begun mobilizing domestically. However, the United States will not take the initiative to attack. He will force Japan to attack the United States."
Mashiro asked incredulously. Japan took the initiative to attack the United States. Although I am Japanese, I have to admit that the gap between Japan's national power and the United States is basically the same as the gap between Japan's national power and China.
This metaphor...
Jiang Cheng twisted his mouth, and finally said, you just have to look at this, I ask you, what is the situation in Japan now?
Mashiro immediately said that the situation is both good and bad. We cooperate with many factories. Due to our participation, the scrap rates of these factories remain high. We also received a large amount of materials. The Japanese yen provided by the employer is indeed very useful.
, but in current Japan, if there is no corresponding household registration book, it is impossible to purchase daily necessities. As for large-scale private purchases, it is even more unthinkable.
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes. Japan has indeed resorted to various methods since Konoe came to power again. At least economically, due to the forced joint monopoly of the military and government consortiums, it has been difficult to create inflation. From this point of view, Chongqing
A group of people are much worse.
Jiang Cheng let out a breath and said it's okay, have you found all the chess pieces I asked you to find?
Mashiro nodded and said that we currently have a dozen companies in our hands, all of which are European and American, and we can get rid of them at any time.
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, I have shipped one billion yen to you this time. When my order comes, you will immediately use the names of those companies to purchase the materials shipped to the port from the United States, and then wait for my next order."
It was Mashiro who vaguely thought of something. Bashun interrupted at this time and said, "Dongjia, there is another news that just came. I don't know if you know it, Dongjia. The Japanese army has begun to build an airport in Indochina. It is said that its threat range includes
singapore and philippines
Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up. He thought that Japan would restrain itself because of Roosevelt's fireside speech, but he didn't expect that Japan would still be so crazy. He smiled and said, "That's great. It seems that our friends from the Japanese military department are not at all."
I wasn't scared by Roosevelt.
Indeed, although at the imperial meeting, Konoe once again expressed concerns about the possible participation of the United States in the war, the Japanese army was not angry but happy. Some staff members even privately modified the combat plan that was initially targeted only at the British and Dutch to target all Southeast Asian, European and American
nation.
As the main force of the Japanese Navy, several senior generals have already begun to simulate how to deal with the situation of the United States entering the war.
At this time, the Japanese Navy had more than 20 battleships, aircraft carriers, 40 cruisers, more than 100 destroyers, and more than 60 submarines. The tonnage of the aircraft carriers was 94 times that of the US military. Considering that the US military needed to take care of both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Japanese Navy's response to the US military was
My confidence gradually became stronger.
Of course, the Japanese Navy is not without rationalists. Yamamoto Isoroku, as a senior general of the Japanese Navy, has always opposed the Japanese military's war with foreign countries, especially the United States. Having studied in the United States, he has an incomparable understanding of the industrial strength of the United States. He uses his
In other words, there are more things with four wheels in the United States than with two wheels in Japan.
He was even famous for his opposition to Japan joining the Axis Powers. In order to prevent being assassinated as a national traitor, he had to write a suicide note in advance to express his feelings. At this time, he was already a navy general.
Yamamoto Isoroku knew very well that the strength of the United States did not lie in its military power or equipment, but in its unparalleled domestic productivity. He began to suggest to the navy that instead of a defensive plan that hoped to weaken first and then fight decisively, it would be better to take the initiative to attack.
This was completely inconsistent with the Japanese military's strategic thinking, and immediately caused an uproar.
I have to say that Japan is a very interesting nation. What they do often does not depend on whether it is reasonable, but on the loudness of the voice. When Yamamoto Isoroku yelled his combat theory crazily, the Navy Ministry actually had what if Yamamoto was like this?
If he is confident, then let’s do what he says. Such a weird theory.
This is a national policy
But how to take the initiative to attack? Although Yamamoto Isoroku has an idea in his mind, he is not sure yet. After all, there is no precedent to follow. Attacks using aircraft to bomb battleships have been carried out in simulation exercises in various countries, and some are said to be successful.
Some say it failed. No one knows whether it is suitable or not.
At this time, the British did Yamamoto Isoroku a big favor.
Just when Jiang Cheng was making plans in Japan, a large sea battle broke out in the Mediterranean Sea in Europe.
This attack was also a choice that Britain was forced to make. Since the first battle in North Africa, the situation in Egypt has become increasingly bad, especially after the news about Germany's involvement in Spain was revealed.
So the goal of controlling the Mediterranean was set on the canals of Egypt. Supplies from Italy to North Africa were being transported ship by ship. The British, Vichy, French and Italian navies came and went, and the fight was endless. German submarines
From time to time, they would step in and launch a few torpedoes to cause trouble, but the greatest threat to Britain was the Italian Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. Who knows that Italy's geographical location is in the Mediterranean, and its fleet was originally designed to compete for the Mediterranean.
.
British Admiral Cunningham, at the suggestion of Rear Admiral Lister, Commander of the Mediterranean Aircraft Carrier Force, unexpectedly used carrier-based aircraft to carry out night attacks with torpedoes. More than 20 Swordfish aircraft loaded with torpedoes and bombs were divided into two groups to attack
The important Italian military port of Taranto launched an air attack, but unlike in the history of Italy, which had no radar and was completely unprepared, the German radar that had just arrived in North Africa discovered the British aircraft and immediately informed the Italian Navy. Unfortunately, the Italian Navy reacted too much.
It was slow, but the result was heavy losses. Two battleships were damaged, one cruiser was sunk, and the ratio of British and Italian forces in the Mediterranean almost changed from 4:6 to evenly divided.
After the news of the battle came out, the whole world was in an uproar. This was not only the biggest victory for Britain since the war began, but also made everyone discover that the battleship was so vulnerable to torpedoes and bombs from aircraft. Of course, many people said that this
It was because of the British night attack that the Italian army was completely unprepared. After all, there were 300 anti-aircraft guns, searchlights and blocking balloons around the port of Taranto. There was also a mine protection net in the port, and the defense was very tight. If it were done in an upright place
Naval battles still have to be dominated by battleships.
But the Battle of Taranto gave Yamamoto Isoroku a confidence, and the plan that was just a shadow in his mind immediately began to take shape.
Not to mention Yamamoto Isoroku working hard, the modern Jiang Cheng is looking at his mobile phone factory accompanied by Sun Ningkou with a look of surprise on his face.
Jiang Cheng looked at the four identical mobile phones placed in front of him. These were the latest four types of mobile phones produced by the mobile phone factory.
Akahoshi No. 1, this is the name of the mobile phone. As for the price, Sun Ning said with a stroke of pen, the low-end is 5555, the mid-range is 8888, the high-end is 15555, the limited edition is 10,000 units, each unit is 880,000
Kou Kou was shocked when she saw the price of the mobile phone. She quickly advised Jiang Cheng, Brother Cheng, is the price too high? The best Apple mobile phone on the market now only costs 8,000, and our mobile phone system is different from
The popular systems now are completely different. They can be said to be independent systems. If the price is so high all of a sudden, it may be difficult to open up the market.
Sun Ning said without worrying, Sister Kou Kou, don't worry, you also know the intelligence level of the Red Queen, it is much more advanced than Apple's so-called SO, and our new system is compatible with all software on the market now.
, as for the configuration, it is not low at all, and the battery of the mobile phone is our latest material. The standby and charging time are much better than those on the market. I have lowered the price for domestic reasons. It is higher in foreign markets.
One or two is done.
The logo of the Red Star mobile phone is a red five-star. After Jiang Cheng opened it, he only saw the most eye-catching icon of the red queen housekeeper. As soon as he opened it, a huge red round egg appeared, which slowly opened, and a small
When the girl climbed out and saw Jiang Cheng, she immediately lowered her head and said sorry. You already have your own elf. Please put your original mobile phone on the same local area network as this mobile phone so that the original elf information can be migrated.
Sun Ning said next to us that according to the recommendations, one person can only have one Red Queen Elf now. When the Red Queen Elf is initialized for production, it will read the holder's retina and other information based on the camera to determine whether the holder has been
There is the Red Queen Elf. Similarly, if the holder's mobile phone is stolen, as long as the holder reports the crime online. The Red Queen will immediately report all the information of the thief and transmit Beidou information at the same time. It can be said that unless the holder is violently
Dismantle the phone, otherwise the Akahoshi phone will never be stolen. And if the phone is violently dismantled, a lot of information about the person who violently disassembles the phone will be collected and then uploaded to report the crime.
Jiang Cheng nodded and asked what were the differences between our four types of mobile phones.
Sun Ning replied that in addition to memory, the main factor is the level of intelligence. Low-end machines cannot set the appearance and personality of the Red Queen on their own. The level of intelligence is also low and cannot handle more complex problems.
The character of the mid-range phone can be set. At the same time, the character will be changed according to the holder's attitude towards the Red Queen, making it more like a real person. In terms of problem handling, some phone messages can even be determined according to the holder's environment. self-reply.
In addition to the personality of high-end phones, you can also set the appearance, from human to non-human, from two-dimensional cute creatures to hot girls. The intelligent processing can also be used when the holder is asleep or otherwise inconvenient to answer the phone. Answer the call by yourself, talk to the caller, and only inform the holder if it is important.
To be honest, the limited edition is a complete waste of money. In addition to the high-quality materials and the capacity of up to 1t, it also adds a new business processing function in terms of intelligence. It can make suggestions for the holder based on the latest various information. Business advice is basically the same function as a secretary.
The Red Queen in Jiang Cheng's cell phone was a little quit at this time, and ran out and said, "I don't want the boss, they all call me the Red Queen."
Jiang Cheng scratched his face, looked at Sun Ning and Kou Kou who were snickering, and said, let's change them to White Queen, otherwise, I can't stand the anger of this little guy, our mobile phones can be mass-produced and put on the market soon Got it
Sun Ning replied that the domestic production line has almost been set up, and 70% of the foreign production line has been completed. Large-scale production will be possible within two months, and the monthly output is expected to be more than one million units.
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "It's too little. Our goal is the whole world. We will continue to increase the scale of production and reach a monthly output of more than two million units. In addition, you can go to Huawei and the domestic mobile phone giants and show them our products." For mobile phones, tell them if they are willing to take a share of the pie. I am willing to open a low-end version of their mobile phones, but the price of their mobile phones cannot be lower than 10% of the price of our mobile phones. Of course, we need patent fees.
Sun Ning raised his eyes and said, "That's good. One more friend is better than one more enemy. By the way..." After saying that, Sun Ning stopped and looked at Kou Kou.
Kou Kou pinched her nose and left under the pretext of going to the bathroom. Sun Ning looked at Jiang Cheng with a teasing smile. Jiang Cheng tilted his mouth, a little embarrassed, and changed the subject by asking, "Is it the biochemical man's business?" To be continued...
