As the Flying Dragon sank into the bottom of the sea with Yamaguchi Daoshima, the magnificent Battle of Midway finally came to an end. In this naval battle, the Japanese combined fleet suffered heavy losses, with six aircraft carriers, two battleships and several cruisers and destroyers sunk, and the personnel losses were more than 5ooo people. It can be said that the battle was exhausted by most of the elite reserved before the war, especially the pilots suffered heavy losses. A considerable old birds who participated in the Pearl Harbor incident were buried in the belly of fish. This will greatly change the situation on the Pacific battlefield and allow the Allies to shift from strategic defense to strategic offensive.

Of course, these were of little significance to the Soviet Union. The biggest gain of the Russians through this naval battle was that they won the respect of Britain and the United States. Even though the Red Navy had preserved relatively strong strength before, the British and Americans, especially the British, seemed to the Red Navy as a fancy, and they could not rank in the world's advanced level, regardless of their equipment or personnel.

Why do the British look down on the Red Navy so much? In addition to the naval pride that originated from Niu Niu for hundreds of years, the most important thing is that the Russian navy has never won a decent opponent. During the Crimean War, the Black Sea Fleet carefully built by Tsarist Russia was almost wiped out, and the Battle of Tsuma was even shaved by the newly rising Japanese devils. After finally taking a breath, the navy had just begun to rebuild a revolution and almost brought the Russian navy to the origin.

Especially in the 1920s and 1930s, although the tonnage of the main ship of the Red Navy was considered a world-class naval power, the time to go out to sea to train every year was very small. In the eyes of the world, such a navy might be a flower stand and a paper tiger. It is okay to scare people, but if you act seriously, you will find your true form.

However, through the Battle of Midway, after a fierce naval battle and night battle, the Americans deeply felt that the Red Navy was not a fancy, but was quite capable of fighting. The Americans even found that the Red Navy had come to the forefront in the future naval construction direction. Let’s not talk about the aviation force, even the two old battle cruisers modified aircraft carriers were quite sharp, and their operation methods and aviation equipment were considered world-class. In a lot of places, even the US Navy had to learn from and learn from.

In addition to aviation, other surface ships also performed quite well, with particularly high technical level. The fire network composed of high-efficiency air defense cruisers and destroyers gave the US liaison officer a deep impression. Compared with the air defense circle of the US special mixed fleet, the Red Navy's air defense network is more efficient and more advanced.

What surprised the Americans was that every Red Sea ship participating in the war had a complete radar, sonar and command and control system. It could show the enemy first and attack the enemy first. Even if there were certain flaws in reliability, even the Americans had to admit it. This represents the future direction.

In addition to these hardware facilities, what made the Americans respect the fighting will and military qualities of the Red Navy officers and soldiers. Needless to mention the feat of the Kokang, in the fierce night battle, every Red Navy warship persisted until the end, and no warship took the initiative to evacuate or escape. No officer and soldier stood on the battlefield with his homely death, fighting to the end with extremely strong will and fighting spirit.

For example, after inspecting the ships of the Red Navy returning to Pearl Harbor, Nimitz said that the Red Navy is definitely a team that can only fight hard battles and is a real soldier.

Don’t underestimate these evaluations from outside, because this will greatly affect international status. It depends on the past, for example, during the Spanish Civil War, even if the Red Navy sent a fleet, to be honest, did Britain and France think the Red Navy is a threat? I’m afraid there is no!

But after this battle, when the Red Navy performs similar tasks, will anyone still underestimate their existence? Force is a deterrent. This deterrence cannot be obtained by hiding it. Only by showing existence and showing strength can one win respect.

To be honest, after the Battle of Midway, the Soviet Union's voice will be greatly enhanced in the future on issues of Asian and even the world's maritime interests. It will no longer be a force that can be ignored.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and there is no end to arms construction. As long as there are violent machines like the state, military expenditures must keep up. Once the chain is lost, it may cost a considerable price to catch up.

After talking about the naval battle, let's take a look at the form of the Pacific battlefield. With Midway defeat, the Japanese Navy basically lost its ability to attack in full swing, and its claws extending to the eastern Pacific were cut off. At this time, the only thing they could do was to go south to move towards Australia. If they could cut off the ties between Australia and the United States, or even occupy Australia, they could still maintain the "half of the country" of the Western Pacific.

But the Americans will not watch the Japanese do whatever they want. They had already fought fiercely with the Japanese in the Coral Sea before, and that one was a draw. And there will be another fierce battle in Guadalcanal next.

However, this fierce battle has nothing to do with the Red Navy's special-mix fleet for the time being. After the fierce battle in Midway, the fleet got the opportunity to rest. The Americans sent a special-mix fleet with the Essex and Saratoga aircraft carriers to Guadalcanal. Including the Hornet and Enterprise were all stayed at Pearl Harbor for rest. Of course, it was not that the Americans did not want to send more aircraft carriers over there, but that the pilots and aircraft could not keep up. The carrier-based aircraft on the Hornet and Enterprise were lost in the Battle of Midway, and the pilots also needed supplementary services, so they could not go there for the time being.

As for why not sending Kiev and Minsk, the official Americans said that allies should rest and recuperate first after they have worked hard, and Minsk needs to be repaired. Of course, the real reason is that the Americans feel a little embarrassed. In the Battle of Midway, the Red Navy solved two aircraft carriers, two battleships and several cruisers and destroyers alone. The results obtained were much more brilliant than the US special-mix fleet. If the Russians continue to show their popularity, where will Uncle Sam's face be put?

Anyway, with the Essex and Saratoga, plus two South Dakota-class battleships and a light cruiser, the Guadalone direction is already strong enough, so don't let the Russians come and take credit again.

The Americans were a little dissatisfied at the time and thought they could do better than their Russian friends, so they were ready to brush the Guadalam copy. However, we all know that Japan was not an ATM at this time and could brush it at will. Since August 1943, the sea and air wars around Guadalam were finally laughing, but the loss was quite heavy.

In addition to the US imperial part, another big part of the Pacific battlefield is in China. The raiding army is still not strong on the front battlefield. Anyway, it is difficult to recover lost territory, but it is easier to fall into the country than to drink water. Overall, the raiding army is more focused on the land. The communist rather than the Japanese. In the front battlefield, the Japanese temporarily gave up on their attacks and maintained their stagnation.

As for the Turkish Communist Party, it is much more active, because with a reliable source of arms, there is no need to count bullets to attack the Japanese. The people's war in North China and Northeast China is in full swing. The Japanese and puppet troops can only hide in the city. The vast countryside is a paradise for the anti-Japanese military and civilians.

This situation made the two people feel heartbroken. One of them was naturally the Japanese. For the Japanese, China was a large resource collection site. The precious industrial raw materials and grain supply needed by the Japanese war machines depended on China. As North China, the main grain-producing area, had a turmoil, the imperial army was hungry in isolated islands in the Pacific and rainforests in Southeast Asia.

If this situation does not change, the battle will be difficult to fight. Of course, this is not the most important thing. What is even more serious is that a large number of troops are trapped in North China and the East China region cannot move, which makes the Japanese seem a little stretched in other directions. How to withdraw from the mud pit of public security war as soon as possible without hindering the acquisition of Chinese resources is what the top Japanese leaders are focusing on.

At this time, the top leaders of the Japanese still had the idea of ​​luring surrender and scrambling the army. If Chiang Kai-shek could persuade the surrender, everything would be easy. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek went to suppress the Communist and imperial army to fight the beautiful animals, wouldn’t everyone be happy?

Lao Jiang also felt that everyone was happy about this matter, but now he didn't count it. It was impossible for the American father and the British godfather to agree. Even these two men strongly asked him to show his courage to attract more Japanese to share the pressure for their fathers. As for your desire to surrender, do you believe it or not!

So for Chiang Kai-shek, surrendering is absolutely impossible, but he is still willing to maintain the status quo. If he can reach a tacit understanding with the Japanese and both sides tacitly take their own needs, wouldn’t it be nice? In that way, the great cause of communism can be continued. Yes. The second one mentioned above is Chairman Chiang who is highly dissatisfied with the Communist Party’s grand exhibition in North China.

I have to say that our Chairman Jiang really took possession of the pit and did not shit. He refused to let other patriots who wanted to fight the Japanese in a passive war and did not let other patriots who wanted to fight the Japanese. He was really domineering and stupid. So at the end of June 1943, President Jiang secretly had a new round of contact with the Japanese, and the venue of the talks was in Macau.

As mentioned earlier, there is a underground organization code-named Nanyue in Guangzhou, whose main intelligence officers Man Long and Jiaofeng quickly noticed this underground undercurrent.

"What is the principal doing!"

When Manlong learned the news, his eyes were bleak. Although he joined the Tumen Communist Party, Manlong believed that the main problem of slaughtering the Democratic Party was the middle and lower classes. He thought that Chiang Kai-shek was still good. However, this last psychological pillar was also shattered like a soap bubble. Mr. Jiang told him with practical actions that the problem of slaughtering the Democratic Party was that there were problems at the top and bottom, especially the person who took the lead did not set a correct role model.

This attack was too great for the Barbarian Dragon. Fortunately, he no longer put all his hopes on the side of the Democratic Party. The vigorous anti-Japanese movement behind enemy lines was achieved quite good results. How to destroy the secret peace between the Democratic Party and Japan became the most concerned issue for Barbarian Dragon.

In his words: "This sinister and mean behind-the-scenes deal must be exposed!"

On July 2, 1943, a very clear photo was suddenly published in American newspapers. The photo did not attract the attention of the American people at the beginning, but the following notes and comments soon made them understand the ugly truth. The high-level representatives of the most important ally of the East were secretly meeting with the Japanese. As for what they were talking about, do you still need to explain it clearly?

This photo was soon circulated in China, and major newspapers rushed to reprint it. It was a big criticism for a time that the Democratic Party was criticized by thousands of people. So who was the person who secretly talked with the Japanese in that photo? Why could he uproar in the public opinion?

One of them is Du Shishan, who is a member of the Blue-Clothing Society, which is the famous Fuxing Society. As for what Fuxing Society does, comrades search for it themselves.

In fact, this is not the first time Du Shishan's representative had a secret contact with Japan. As early as March 17, 194o, Liu Yunlong, Du Shishan, and Xuanye Nagachi negotiated in Room 35o, Hong Kong Hotel. However, at that time, the Japanese were at their peak and the conditions could not be reached.

In addition to Du Shishan, the main character in the photo, another key person is also worthy of attention, that is Miao Bin, a real traitor. In history, with Wang Jingwei, he treason and surrendered to the enemy. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was once commended by Chiang Chiang for the secret communication of the music. Later, with Dai Li dead, he was a dead dog without a backstage. Later, when the US occupation forces in Japan received files from Japan's wartime cabinet, Miao Bin's identity was found, and at the strong demand of the Soviet Union, he demanded to extradite Miao Bin to testify at the Far East Military Court. Seeing that the secret peace of the allies during the War of Resistance Against Japan was about to be exposed, Chiang Kai-shek quickly killed Miao Bin and silenced him.

It is conceivable what kind of shock it would cause when the American newspaper published the news that Chiang Kai-shek's confidant Blue-Yi Society members met with Miao Bin and the Japanese in Macau. That was really shocked the whole country and strongly demanded that the Democratic Party give an explanation.

What's the result? The result is similar to that in history. Chiang Kai-shek was particularly good at abandoning the car to protect the generals. He slaughtered Du Shishan on the charge of treason and surrendering to the enemy, which calmed the public outcry. However, this incident was very difficult for the old benefactor Dai Li, the Barbarian Dragon. After all, Du Shishan was also his person, and Dai Li arranged this meeting. Who would have thought that it would be exposed and exposed to the newspapers of friendly countries. This greatly affected the national government and Chiang Kai-shek's reputation in the international community, which made Chiang quite embarrassed.

Of course, Dai Li was inevitably beaten by Lao Jiang again afterwards. It is said that he was beaten very miserably. If Dai Li had not been very capable and useful, Lao Jiang would have been willing to kill him. It is said that after Dai Li got the Military Control Commission, he would have been punished by a cadre. Of course, the most important thing is that Dai Li also wanted to figure out how this news leaked? I know that there are not many people in Du Shishan's contact with Japan, and even fewer in the Military Control Commission. Is there any insider?

At that time, Dai Li did not go to investigate with great fanfare because he knew that this would not result. He believed that this matter could only be carried out in secret, so he entrusted several confidants to detect the matter on a small scale. However, what is interesting is that Dai Li's confidant who was responsible for reconnaissance of the insider was exactly one of the manlongs, which can be imagined. This investigation operation could not be effective.

The barbarian dragon continued to lurk, and Chiang Kai-shek was in the thunder. This was the impact of the Battle of Midway on China. However, while the Democratic Party members were busy with national disasters and wealth, the anti-fascist movements in other countries around the world were in full swing.

In mid-July 1943, after a full six months of fierce battle, the form of the Soviet-German battlefield changed drastically. The front line moved westward on average 600 kilometers. The front line began to move from close to the Russian border to Romania, near the western borders of Ukraine and Belarus. Let's put it this way, the German army and the Red Army basically returned to the situation around November 1941.

After the fierce battle in the past six months, the Red Army not only recovered a large number of territory, but more importantly, it killed and injured a large number of living forces of the Axis powers. Preliminary statistics of annihilation, captives and wounded the German army more than 50,000. Other servants and teams also lost about 10,000 people. What is particularly important is that it forced Romania to turn against each other, and the Romanian army chose to put down its weapons or turn to the Red Army, which forced Germany to draw troops from other fronts to fill the gap.

It can be said that in July 1943, Germany had basically lost its ability to attack strategically and could only turn to passive defense. The Red Army needed to make great strides, and the time to recover Poland as quickly as possible and attack Germany's local strategic counterattack was basically ripe.

In other words, the allies now need to coordinate and argue again about the strategic counter-offensive and the distribution of interests after the war. In this context, it is necessary to hold a Cairo meeting that coordinates the overall situation.

However, there are still many troubles in this meeting, first of all, the Soviet Union's problem. Because this is a coordinated meeting for the entire Axis powers. The Soviet Union has not declared war on Japan at this time, so the Soviet Union may not be able to sign the possible agreement. Even the Soviet Union will not attend the meeting openly.

If the Soviet Union cannot attend the meeting, the significance of this talk may be reduced. Whether it is Roosevelt or Churchill, he still hopes to invite the supreme leader of the Soviet Union to attend the meeting as much as possible and continue to do the work of the Soviet Union.

The second problem is that Chiang Kai-shek brought about. Because of the issue of the Turkish Communist Party, the conflict between him and the Soviet Union was not very big. Chiang Kai-shek hoped that the three countries of China, the United States and Britain would be discussed, and he thought it would be more appropriate.

Let me put it this way, Chiang Kai-shek actually wanted to reach a deal with his own father and godfather first, and then put pressure on the Soviet Union to force the Soviet Union to make concessions to the civilian government. However, his wishful thinking could not be reached at all. If Britain and the United States had agreed in history, Britain and the United States might have agreed. After all, the Soviet Union was not that important in the issue of Japan at that time, and it would be fine to give Chiang a face.

But the situation is completely different now. The Soviet Union has made great efforts in combat against Japan and has a wide influence. It cannot leave the Soviet Union aside for a small meeting in reason or reason. What's more, both Roosevelt and Churchill want to use the meeting to prompt the Soviet Union to declare war on Japan, so naturally they cannot leave the Soviet Union aside (to be continued.)
