Whether it is the Cairo Declaration, the Axis Global Operations Command, or the slogans of the Three Kingdoms clamoring for "war to the end", they are actually released to intimidate the United States to admit defeat as soon as possible.

The reason is very simple. In this era when there are no satellites and the communication methods are extremely low, it is impossible to rely on a command headquarters that is thousands of kilometers away from the front line to command the front line. Even Germany's major battles on the Eastern Front were not formulated by the Supreme Commander far away in Berlin. Hoffmann never did anything about the matter of Hitler's favorite to interfere with the front-line army or even the first-level commander of the army. He even spent very little time on the Eastern Front after becoming the commander-in-chief of the Army.

The only exception is probably the Battle of Kungunier. That time, Hoffman went to the front line because the success or failure of the battle was very critical. If he lost, not only would the entire army be destroyed, but even the troops of Guderian who retreated and lured Montgomery to take the bait would be severely damaged. So he thought this was a critical turning point battle, but even so he did not interfere with Rommel's command, but only came forward to boost morale and waited quietly to listen to the telegram in the command center.

Not to mention that Berlin cannot control the front line, even Manstein cannot control the millions of troops on the Eastern Front. Most of the time, the operations rely on Germany's unique target management system to coordinate and rely on the experience, skills, wisdom and courage of front-line commanders to advance. This is also the last era of generals' flashes. When high-tech is flying all over the sky, combatants can hide in security bunkers and rely on various satellites, sensors, and telemetry to sense opponent information, control combat units, and even realize automatic operation, the war has lost its original charm and gradually becomes an e-sports game, which is technology rather than tactics and command, and determines the success or failure of the battle.

Therefore, the North African General Command is just a sign, at most it is just to carry out some materials, equipment, and intelligence exchanges. It is impossible to take on the heavy responsibility of command, nor can it truly command all the axial troops. The Japanese army and navy themselves cannot command unifiedly. How can it be said that it is under German command?

As for "war to the end", it is also a smoke bomb released by the three countries after forming a political tacit understanding. The three countries have reached an understanding: allowing Germany, Italy or Japan to achieve separate peace with the United States without damaging the interests of other allies and not giving up the axis camp.

The bottom line of peace between Germany is that Europe, Africa, the Middle East and most of South America are controlled by axial forces, and Germany and the United States are controlled by half (Germany is carried out through Britain because there are many British colonies here);

Japan's original bottom line of peace was that the United States recognized Japan's current occupied areas, and Japan returned the Philippines and some Pacific islands, and the two families jointly governed the Pacific. However, after the United States flatly refused, the angered base camp decided to fight to the end: to introduce German forces into the Pacific to compete with the United States, not only not to return the Philippines, but also demand that Australia and New Zealand, Hawaii and Aleutian Islands be neutralized and de-armed. If Germany intends to eat Australia and New Zealand (including Fiji, etc.), Japan requires that it eat half of it.

But the US obviously does not know the essence of this false intimidation, and only regards this meeting as a charge to the American general attack, especially from the battlefield situation.

On August 19, the day before the Cairo Declaration, Recife's US Army Air Force observed that the huge German main fleet was on the coast of West Africa. Although the 2,100-kilometer range was within the range of the B-29 attack, the B-29 without fighter escort obviously could not defeat the German fleet with high-performance fighter escort. In the end, only a few American submarines launched an attack and sank three cargo ships, but these four brave US submarines were also sunk.

On August 20, Pacific time, one hour before the Cairo Declaration was published, the Joint Fleet launched an attack on Midway. Of course, such a huge offensive echelon could not be hidden from the United States. When the main force of the fleet was more than 1,200 kilometers away from Midway, the US military discovered the fierce Japanese fleet.

But what if I find it? There are only more than 100 aircraft on Midway Island, and nearly 5,000 ground troops. The entire island is not large in size, the terrain is flat, and there is basically no danger to defend. You must rely on the support of the naval fleet to have a way out. In the first Midway Battle, Nimitz used Japanese carrier-based pilots to discover the US fleet on the way to Midway Island and temporarily better ammunition to eliminate the Japanese main fleet, but this time the situation was completely different.

During the first Midway Battle, the Japanese army only dispatched a mobile fleet, and larger battleship units watched the show in the rear. This time, Tsukahara Nishiso San took three Yamato and Nagato personally charge, and rushed straight to Midway under the cover of carrier-based aircraft. The maneuvered fleet consisting of six fleet aircraft carriers followed. A transportation and landing troops composed of eight escort aircraft carriers advanced step by step.

The joint fleet did not hide its intentions at all. Not only did it not do a bunch of dazzling small moves like the last battle, but even let the US reconnaissance planes see enough before the offensive battle was launched. It was confirmed that the opponent had sent a telegram before it rushed forward to shoot it down.

This is of course a demonstration of confidence and domineeringness. After two years of accumulation, the joint fleet has become strong again. Not only has it gathered more troops and warships than in the first Midway Battle, it has more advanced aircraft and weapons, better and more experienced pilots, but the commander also leads the army to attack, rather than watching the show from afar like Yamamoto Iroru at that time. This is a very inspiring behavior for the Japanese army, which has always been concerned about the tradition of superiority and inferiority.

The morale of the joint fleet has been rising after leaving the port. After Tsukahara Nishiso San raised his command to command the battle order, the morale of the fleet has exceeded the triple bonus and has been directly reached.

The first additional force comparison is completely beneficial: the United Fleet has 6 regular aircraft carriers and 3 super battleships. All carrier-based aircraft have been replaced. The pilots have also rested and worked hard for a long time. Not only did they make up for the previous gap, but they also filled the carrier-based aircraft pilots of new warships. The US Pacific Fleet only had 2 battleships, no regular aircraft carriers, and they did not even dare to leave the port to fight, which completely overwhelmed the opponent in terms of momentum;

The second bonus axis is unstoppable: the three countries have won consecutive victories, Germany went south to Britain and the Soviet Union, successfully ending the European war, Japan finally took India, and could fight the Pacific direction with all its might. In contrast, the US military not only lost European troops, but also infiltrated the traditional South American plate by Germany. After hearing that Ozawa led the German main fleet to attack, all the officers and soldiers understood that this time it was attacking the US military from the east and west;

The third bonus incentive system is maximized: the highest commander General Tsukahara took the Yamato to prepare to shell Midway Island. Before departure, all carrier-based pilots were awarded the rank of officers or reserve officers based on their past military achievements and qualifications. More importantly, Japan imitated Germany's use of oil funds to launch military merit rewards, stipulating that anyone who received a certain level of medal will be distributed to Indian land in the future. High-level people can even be rated to Indian servants by the government.

Many officers and soldiers who were officials of Qianli were just for money, and they were struggling to fight on their belts. Many of them were born in miserable origins. The Japanese government’s call for “loyalty to the emperor” and “decisive death to become a god”. Now they have finally offered rewards, and it is the land that farmers attach the most importance to.

This strategy was proposed by Hori Teiki after the failure of peace with the United States. Because it is so important that cabinet meetings, five ministers, imperial meetings, and important ministers were held one after another. Many conservative officials did not agree and could not pass many discussions. Because they had long booked this batch of land for major chaebols to solve the national debt problem, if they were allocated to officers and soldiers, they would not get compensation at that time, and the government would inevitably be in debt in the future.

At the last meeting of important officials, Hori Teiki, who had been patiently convinced this group of red deer, finally couldn't bear it. She slapped the table during the meeting. The sound was so loud that she kept silent on the throne. Hirohito, who was watching the show coldly, was so scared that he shivered.

He angrily rebuked: "On this day, the United States fights to the death. When I am invincible, I need to stimulate morale. The three armies are trying their best to do it. I will not agree to it, but will not agree to it. Will the Americans hold the knife around their necks before saying they will?"

Ishihara Kaner also came out to agree, and as soon as he spoke, he was murderous: "Millions of Imperial Army soldiers lie on ice and taste the snow, fight the flames and fire, and are killed and injured. The bones are covered with East Asia and the Pacific Ocean. They have opened up endless borders for the empire and become the largest empire in the world. Will there be no place to settle after the war? The country is stingy, and if there are consequences, I dare not hear about it!"

In the reward of meritorious soldiers, the army and the navy have common interests. Therefore, when Hori Teiki proposed it, the base camp immediately reached an agreement. It was just that the army was surrounded by hills. The Ishihara sect did not dare to take the lead, so they encouraged Hori Teiki to come forward, saying that "the navy rushed first, the army followed." Hori Teiki didn't want to do things too much. Under the persuasion of King Minorhiko Higakimiya, he was going to discuss it with the meeting. Who knew that the fleet was about to set off, and the group of red deer was still unwilling to give a good word, and he was immediately anxious.

Ishihara Kanr was already quite relaxed. When Hori Teiki got angry, he knew that the time was ripe. If he didn't cooperate, the Navy would have to fight for the second "Heavenly Punishing the National Pirates" tomorrow. Last time he worked hard to transfer the Marine Corps from Mamao Island. This time, he was even better. All the main forces of the Navy gathered, and the Yamato was just in Tokyo Bay, and the city could be swept away in less than an hour.

Japan is now a system where the army and the navy can do things unanimously. Seeing that the army and the navy threatened with force, the important officials who bullied the weak and feared the strong immediately retreated: Ishihara Kanji still has someone to control, but Hori Teiki is now unable to control it, and he can do anything like changing the emperor if he is in a hurry.

Three days before departure, Hirohito announced the edict to reward military merits with land in the form of a Yuyin broadcast, but who among the middle-level officers and above the Navy did not know that this was taken by Hori Shumi on the table?

No matter what, the things that Hori Teiki had been planning were finally done...
