Chapter 238: Dewey (10)

The military situation in January was not optimistic, but whether it was the island's planes, fuel, or ammunition, they all rely on local inputs, and use a little less. Now they can rely on inventory hard caps. What should I do if I have a long time? Judging from the Japanese army's posture, the siege of Hawaii may not be a week or two, and January or two months, which may last for half a year. Without subsequent input of materials, it can only be the result of waiting for death.

Whether it is submarine smuggling, dispatching Los Angeles Express or San Francisco Express, it is not worth the effort in front of the Japanese fleet that is constantly cruising around.

But even if the gain is not worth the loss, the navy must grit its teeth and persevere, because Hawaii is the home port of the navy and the Pacific Fleet. Once it is abandoned, more than 70,000 defenders on the two islands and more than 100,000 people will become prisoners. In addition, the worse consequence is that the United States has fallen into the hands of the enemy. Since Canada briefly attacked the United States in 1812, no country has ever attacked the United States. This is a very severe historical test.

Faced with numerous blockades and uninterrupted harassment, the morale of Hawaii is falling day by day, and the distribution of materials has developed to an extremely strict quantitative distribution stage, and various social management systems are also very strict. This student system is a piece of cake for the Soviets. The strictest quantitative distribution in Hawaii is better than the most relaxed period of the Soviet Union, but how can the American people who are used to being free and unrestrained can bear this? It’s nothing to eat less, you can lose weight. You can only curl up in the basement every day and live a life of stagnation.

What's more, this strict regulation is just the beginning, and it is still unknown when it will end. People's greatest fear comes from fear of themselves. With the end of the Pacific Fleet, people with a little common sense know that Hawaii will have no hope in the short term, which further aggravates pessimism and despair.

Some congressmen asked whether they could discuss with the Japanese and move civilians to the west coast?

Dulite of course strongly opposed this behavior that shakes the morale of the army. He said that the existing materials can last for two years, the army also has sufficient materials and ammunition, and Hawaii has relatively sufficient basements and bunkers, so it can be completely insisted on.

However, he could not resist the pressure from the municipal authorities, and the other party listed many benefits for him: first, it is conducive to protecting the people; second, retreating women first, children are conducive to fighting and relaxing their hands and feet, and implementing humanitarian promotion; third, personnel retreat helps reduce consumption and helps the army better defend.

In the end, although Dolite reluctantly agreed to contact the Japanese army once, he hoped that the Japanese army would refuse to "accelerate the consumption of defending materials". If he was an ordinary Japanese commander, he might think so, but his "good" wish met Tsukahara Nizuki.

After hearing this, he initially expressed his approval: "In the spirit of humanitarianism, our commander released a group of wounded people last time, and this time is no exception. I agree that these wounded people will retreat to the west coast first. Just prepare a hospital ship to transport people."

The other party seemed not to believe that he was so cheerful and asked hesitantly: "What price does it cost to us?"

"The price?" Tsukahara Nishisan smiled, "You can give it to me. Didn't you give us a batch of medicines last time? If you don't mind, give us a little more."

"I wonder how many of your army's numbers are required?"

Kusato Ryunosuke interrupted, "You can see the quantity, how many people are, the commander is in a good mood, and the next time you put women and children, you will be more happy; if the number is small, the commander will find it difficult to convince his subordinates, this."

"I understand, I understand." The people who came to understand it, nodded repeatedly, said goodbye and left.

The other staff members were very surprised by the attitude of Tsukahara, and I don’t know why the superiors did this: these people stayed on the island for one day.

It can consume a day's US military supplies and force the opponent to speed up surrender. If all the civilians are let go and only the army is left, will it be even more difficult to attack.

Tsukahara smiled and shook his head: "If you force Americans to get angry, you can only share the same hatred for the enemy. Let some wounded people go. On the one hand, it can improve the image of our army. On the other hand, the iron-clad US army is also a disintegration. With my understanding of the Americans, I can guarantee you that there must be something tricky in it."

Kusato Ryunosuke had already understood: "Who should I check the trick?"

"Let Nishimura kun go and he has experience!"

"Nisimura? He has experience?" Kusato Ryunosuke was stunned at first, then immediately remembered something and burst into laughter. Tsukahara then laughed.

A group of advisers, monks, were confused and did not understand why the superior was laughing.

"You will understand in two days, let me keep it aside."

Someone asked boldly: "If you release these wounded people, will women and children really be released next time?"

"Why don't you put it on? But Americans have to exchange things for it." Kusato Ryunosuke talked about his business with great experience. "Gas, equipment, ammunition, medicine, and ships can all be exchanged. The United States is rich, so the people are valuable, and things don't matter; Japan is poor, things are still important, gold and silver are also OK, oil paintings are not allowed!"

The staff members looked dark, and the emotional commander and the chief of staff followed the commander and became businessmen.

On January 10, just as Hawaii was intensively relocating the wounded on board, after several days of consultation and negotiation, the communiqué of Germany and Ireland on the establishment of a "comprehensive partnership and cooperation relationship" was met:

"After in-depth, friendly and frank exchanges between the two sides, the Irish government fully agrees with Germany's construction of the 'New European Order' and various international treaties, and is willing to contribute its own strength to the EU and the United Nations. The German government fully understands and recognizes the principle of 'there is only one Ireland in the world'. The two sides have reached a series of agreements in the fields of politics, economy, culture, education, military, technology, etc.."

Overall, Ireland has fully opened up to Germany in relevant fields. Germany has transferred some industries and technology to help Ireland achieve development and help Ireland carry out industrialization according to local conditions from agricultural countries. Ireland will be fully in line with Germany in terms of industrial norms, legal systems, weights and measures in the future. In addition to open agreements, the two sides have also formed principled opinions on Ireland providing military bases for European joint forces and joint fleets, monitoring and suppressing Great Britain.

Overall, the agreement means that Ireland will go from following Great Britain to following Germany. Except for not being incorporated into Germany, all other social norms and ideologies will be almost the same as Germany. This is what Irish people do not think there is anything wrong with it, but think that they have finally gotten rid of the British, the sovereign country. Germany's support for "there is only one Ireland in the world" has further enhanced Ireland's national self-confidence.

When the head of state car convoy moved from the ground to the pier and was about to leave Ireland, Dublin was empty alleys. The Dublin people who came to see him off were spontaneously pinned the streets on both sides of the street. All vehicles were stopped. Flowers and arches were arranged on each important intersection. All the signs were celebrating Germany, friendship and mutual assistance, leaving only the spacious roads in the middle for the convoy to use. The Mercedes-Benz 770k bulletproof sedans with the flags of Germany and Ireland were driven by the tsunami and the arms of the forest. Hoffmann specially asked someone to lower the car glass windows and waved his hand to greet the people. In just over 10 kilometers of road, it drove for an hour and a half.

"It's rare to see such a scene. I remember you had this welcome last time in Austria." Eva asked in a low voice, "Will you consider turning the Irish into Germans in the future?"

Hoffman was stunned and shook his head with a smile: "This is impossible. The Irish people are pro-German because the British oppression is too deep. If I try to turn them into Germans, I will die without a burial place. Isn't this good? Maybe I can still come to Ireland to live a peaceful retirement life after I withdraw from politics in the future."

"You want to retire?" Eva covered her mouth in disbelief. "Don't you still have many grand goals and wishes?"

"I think, I dream of it, but what should I do now?" Hoffman smiled dissatisfiedly, "As for the goal of achieving an old one, there is always a new one. Now, my biggest private goal is to live a few years of quiet life and a rural pastoral life. I have been worried about the German people for too long, so I should also leave some time to spend more time with you and Kohler."

"Adolf" Eva blushed and grabbed Hoffman's hand tightly, "I can't believe it!"
