Chapter 1443 Conditions are very attractive
For some time, Cialek has been commanding the war on the Eastern Front, and has not paid special attention to the Far East.
Recently, in the Far East, the progress of island countries has been pretty good on the surface.
They defeated their opponents in the Coral Sea Battle. Although they themselves suffered losses, they killed two American aircraft carriers.
But after that, they had no decent record, and the planned sneak attack on Midway Island was never carried out.
The reason is difficult to describe, the conflict between the navy and the army.
The Navy hopes to continue to attack Midway and completely destroy the American Pacific Fleet. Once the American war machine is started, it is really terrible. The American navy suffered huge losses in Pearl Harbor, but the American shipyards continue to quickly build warships and quickly re-armed the Pacific Fleet.
They want to continue bombing, and Midway is their inevitable goal.
However, the Army disagrees. The Army hopes to continue to move south. Southeast Asia and Australia are all targets that the Army can't wait to quickly occupy.
The two sides were arguing endlessly, and under this circumstance, a compromise plan appeared. The navy divided some of its troops to carry out a strategy of advancing southward to conquer Southeast Asia and Australia.
In this way, the remaining ships of the Navy are not enough.
(In history, the failure of the Midway Naval Battle also had this reason. I was unable to do my best and was assigned to the South Advance Plan.)
Now, people from the island country are obviously related to this aspect.
"Dear, you can continue to bask in the sun here." Cialic said, holding his wife's hand, and kissed her gently on the cheek.
Hannah smiled knowingly, her eyes full of happiness. Although she was already an old couple, she was still like her first love. This feeling was really beautiful.
Cialek left the terrace and came to the conference room. As soon as he entered the door, several islanders stood up to greet him.
"Biden Cialek, I am very happy to see you. Please take care of me." The person who spoke was a person who Cialek had met several times before, Fifty-six of the pheasant.
(Keep the same thing in the front and back, it's the same reason, to avoid it.)
As the head of the island country's navy, Shan Ji Fifty-six has been very glorious during this period. After he won the Battle of Pearl Harbor, he was already the most famous general in the island country. But now, his face is full of strange expressions, excitement, expectation, and uneasiness. At this time, his mood is written on his face.
"Sit down, what do you need our help?" Cialek said.
Now, Germany has occupied the entire Europe and is also engaging in the process of European integration. The Axis powers have been greatly expanded to become the European Union. When doing all this, Cialek secretly rejected the island countries.
It can be said that the island country can get some benefits from Germany, but the relationship between the two sides is never an ally, which seems to imply something. Of course, the island people nowadays will not consider those.
There are only tacticians in the island country, but no strategists at all.
Several people sat down, and Shan Ji Fifty-six knew about Cirick's character, so he didn't have much greeting. After thanking Germany for helping the island country and allowing the island country to win the naval battle, he immediately got to the point.
"Just a few months ago, after we bombed Pearl Harbor, the Americans actually used aircraft carriers to carry bombers and bombed our Tokyo. Although it did not cause much damage, the vibration was very huge for us." said Peach Fifty-six.
"So, if we want to avoid this, we need to have a suitable place in the Pacific Ocean. This time, we not only need to meet the mission goal of bombing the US fleet, but also to land on the battlefield. We have to pedal Midway and build it into one of our maritime bases, from there, we can radiate to the entire Pacific Ocean."
Compared with history, the island nation's navy has become more radical in their goal, and they want to obtain a naval base on Midway!
In this way, the island navy can cruise in the Pacific Ocean, block any American warships trying to sail in the Pacific Ocean, and even take off bombers from Midway Island, easily bomb the west coast of the United States, and blow up those shipyards to pieces.
The island navy can't wait.
Midway Island is located in the central Pacific Ocean, 200 kilometers northwest of Honolulu. It belongs to the Polynesian Islands and is an unincorporated territory of the United States. It occupys this place and radiates to the entire Pacific Ocean. This is the great ideal of the island country's navy.
If the island navy can occupy this place, then you will no longer have to be afraid of the threat of the US fleet and will be confident and boldly conquered Southeast Asia from now on.
"So, we want to rent your landing ship." Shan Ji Fifty-six expressed his goal this time: "We lack large ocean landing ships, and you now have a large number of landing ships. Can you rent the landing ships to us before your landing in the United States?"
A few years ago, in order to achieve the purpose of cross-sea landing in Britain, Germany built a batch of 4,000-ton tank landing ships, some of which were built in Spain. These tank landing ships did play a certain role in the battle that year.
After that, Germany did not need these landing ships to fight for the moment. Germany shot a flick, and when everyone thought Germany was going to attack the United States, they suddenly ran to attack the Soviet Union.
Before defeating the Soviet Union, Germany did not need a landing ship. So, just rent the German landing ship. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?
Indeed, for island countries, it is the best of both worlds, but what are the benefits for Germany? Self-sacrificing oneself is not the leader's thinking.
When Chirick heard what Shan Ji Fifty-six said, Cirick frowned immediately. Of course not! What if these landing ships suffered losses during the battle?
What if they borrowed equipment and didn't pay it back?
In the past, when Germany helped them fight Pearl Harbor, they just sent a commander to assist in command. Now, the islanders actually want to borrow equipment?
Seeing Cyric's expression, the several islanders present knew that it was not good. If they could not provide enough interests to exchange, the Germans would not agree.
Fortunately, they have trump cards
If Germany wants to help, of course they must have enough sincerity. Jiji Wuliu continued: "We are willing to find a suitable port among the four northern islands in the north of Hokkaido and rent it to you as your submarine base."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present was stunned. Even Cialek felt a rumbling in his mind, and he was silent. The islanders who had always hoped to expand their territory could actually give up their sovereignty and rent a port to their own side?
