Glorious Mission 1937

During this period of time, Chen Feng lived a very carefree life. He wandered around every day accompanied by the Soviet high-level officials, and occasionally went back to watch Wang Chonghui chatting with the Soviet representatives. He lived a beautiful life.

However, just at this moment, a piece of news from the South Pacific broke this short-lived peace—the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and the United States declared war on Japan.

This happened so suddenly that even Chen Feng himself was not prepared, even though it was said that Japan would sneak attack on the United States and the United States and Japan would declare war.But isn't December still in this world, so although Chen Feng told Li Zong and others who were far away in Japan to pay close attention to the dynamics of the Japanese government and the headquarters, he never expected that Japan would launch a war at this time.

在排出了恶作剧之外，确定日本确实与1941年7月22日早晨对美国夏威夷珍珠港海军基地发动偷袭，造成停泊在珍珠港基地的大量战舰被击沉击伤，另外还造成了大量的兵员伤亡，共计被击沉的美**舰有：战列舰6艘、重巡洋舰1艘、油船2艘，重创和中创战列舰2艘、重巡洋舰1艘、乙级巡洋舰6艘、驱逐舰3艘、补助舰3艘；击毁陆海军飞机总计达300架。

另外日本海军的偷袭还对港湾、机场以及其他各种设施也给予了相当大的损害；美方战死、重伤人员分别达2403名和1178名。日军方面的损失，仅仅是未返回的战斗机8架、舰载轰炸机15架、舰攻机5架，总计28架，中弹机74架。

Except for the time, the tactics of this sneak attack and the final results of the Warring States Period are the same as in history.Nothing has changed.When the news came, the world shook.

After receiving the news from the country, Chen Feng immediately bid farewell to him. He needs to return to the country immediately in order to cope with the changes in the general situation.

But before leaving, Stalin once again invited Chen Feng to the Kremlin for talks with him.

Chen Feng did not refuse Stalin's invitation. The world situation has changed so much, and Chen Feng also wanted to hear Stalin's opinion. After all, the Soviet Union was also an important part of the world's anti-fascist forces, and this was far more important than China.

Or that study.Or these two people.One drank Chinese tea, the other drank European coffee, nothing changed.But now the mood of Chen Feng and Stalin was very different from the last meeting, when Stalin was choked by Chen Feng like a grandson.But he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

However.The news that the United States and Japan declared war on each other at the same time came.Stalin is in a good mood. The war between the United States and Japan is undoubtedly good news for the Soviet Union. Once these two countries go to war.There are three major benefits to the Soviet Union. First, the threat from the Far East is eliminated. Stalin does not think that Japan will attack the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time.

In fact, this is indeed the case. This morning, the Japanese ambassador to the Soviet Union proposed to hold talks with Stalin, but Stalin refused. He just arranged for the Soviet foreign minister to meet with the Japanese ambassador for a while.In fact, you don’t need to meet Stalin to know what the Japanese mean. It’s the same as what he meant by sending people to Tokyo after the outbreak of the Soviet-German War.

Now that Japan is at war with the United States, the Japanese are of course afraid that the Soviet Union will attack the puppet Manchukuo at this time, and hope that the Soviet Union can stick to the neutrality agreement.

This is very good news for the crumbling Soviet Union. At least the Soviet Union can concentrate on dealing with Germany without being distracted from dealing with the Japanese.

Secondly, the war between the United States and Japan means that the United States has also been involved in this war. Whether the United States is willing or not, it has been tied to a chariot with the Soviet Union. Agree to aid the Soviet Union, then the Soviet Union will have the confidence to continue fighting.

The last point is about the relationship between China and the Soviet Union. What Stalin was most worried about before was that Chen Feng, a bastard, was forced to hand over the territory of millions of square kilometers to the Soviet Union. But deep down, Stalin was very unhappy. I am willing to do this. As I said before, although those territories were forcibly plundered from the Chinese government, in order to develop these lands, the Tsarist government has invested a lot of human, financial and material resources. Now the return involves hundreds of cities and towns The issue of ownership involves tens of millions of Soviet people.

Before, there was no way. After all, Chen Feng nakedly showed his butcher knife. If he doesn't agree, he will beat you, and if he agrees, he will help you. That's why the Soviet Union surrendered.

But now it is different. Once the United States and Japan declared war, the Soviet Union felt that its opportunity had come, the threat was lifted, and the aid materials could be expected.The most important thing is that the U.S. and the Nationalist government have good relations. The two sides have frequent exchanges now, and the relationship between the U.S. and Chen Feng is also very good. Chen Feng will definitely not let Chen Feng send troops to attack the Soviet Union. Therefore, Stalin has other ideas about the ongoing negotiations .

"Chen, Japan attacked the US naval base, and Roosevelt has declared war on Japan!" Stalin said with emotion.

"I already know this, the Americans have lost a lot!" Chen Feng replied.

"Chen, you are an excellent tactician. Who do you think will win the final victory, the United States or Japan?" Stalin asked with a smile.

Chen Feng looked at Stalin and said, "Your Excellency Stalin, do you think Japan can win the final victory of the war?"

"This is not necessarily the case, but the Japanese navy is indeed very powerful. Although the U.S. navy has developed rapidly in strength, it is not enough to compete with the Japanese navy. Especially this sneak attack on the United States has suffered such heavy losses. It is difficult to do anything in a short time." Stalin said.

Before Chen Feng could answer, Stalin continued: "The Japanese Navy not only has a powerful fleet, but also has a group of experienced naval commanders. No one has more say than our Soviet Navy."

Chen Feng knew what Stalin meant. The reason why the Soviet Union knew the Japanese navy so well was because the Soviet navy had suffered losses in the hands of the Japanese navy, and it was still a big loss.During the Russo-Japanese War, in addition to competing on land, the two sides also engaged in strategic decisive battles on the sea. In 1905, the two countries fought a naval battle in the Tsushima Strait between the Korean Peninsula and Honshu, Japan. The Combined Fleet commanded by Togo Heihachiro faced the Russian Second Pacific Fleet commanded by Vice Admiral Rozd Stefansky.

In this battle, 38 of the 21 Russian warships were sunk, 9 were captured, and a total of 27 tons of ships were lost. 4830 people were killed and 5917 were captured; the Japanese army only lost 3 torpedo boats, less than 300 tons, 117 people died, With 587 people, Japan has achieved an unprecedented victory. The Soviet Navy, which is in the same line as Russia, has always attached great importance to the Japanese Navy.

Chen Feng also agrees with what Stalin said, especially the use of carrier-based aircraft to sneak attack on the US naval base, this tactic is absolutely advanced.

"Your Excellency Stalin, the Japanese navy is indeed powerful, there is no doubt about it, but I think that even so, the Japanese will not be able to win the final victory of the war, because Japan is just a snake, and this snake is now trying to kill the nearby It's impossible for an elephant to swallow them all, because a snake is a snake, no matter how powerful a snake is, it can't swallow an elephant." Chen Feng said seriously.

"But the Japanese did succeed. The U.S. Pacific Fleet was severely damaged. The U.S., which lost its air and sea supremacy, could not defend their colonies at all. When the warships transferred by the Americans from the U.S. arrived in the South Pacific, the Japanese would have already All the islands in the South Pacific are occupied, of course, including your territory and Australia, with the support of resources in these places, the Japanese are fully capable of carrying on the war, aren't they?" Stalin retorted.

Chen Feng smiled and said: "Your Excellency Stalin, you are thinking too simply. The Japanese navy has indeed won an unprecedented victory. As you said, on the premise that the navy has achieved an unprecedented victory, the Japanese army will also achieve an unprecedented victory. , the entire South Pacific region will fall, but it does not include my territory and Australia."

"But the Japanese's victory was a fluke, not because their strength was truly superior to that of the United States and Britain, but for another reason!"

Stalin chuckled and said, "Chen, are you talking about changes in the international situation? The Japanese victory was indeed a bit of a fluke, but victory is victory. In fact, sometimes luck is strength. Many people have excellent conditions in all aspects, but they are still unable to succeed, and some people may have various shortcomings, but they succeed. This is luck, and sometimes luck is far behind. More important than strength."

"What if it's not luck?"

Stalin obviously didn't understand Chen Feng's words, he frowned and asked, "How do you understand this sentence?"

"Hehe, what I mean is, what if the Japanese's victory wasn't just a fluke or luck?" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"It's not luck, what is it? According to the information obtained by our intelligence agencies, it was the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet that attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States this time. This is a team consisting of 6 aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, 3 cruisers and 9 destroyers. They sailed eastward from the Thousand Islands, passing through the northern route with windy winter and fewer ships, and adopted concealed means such as radio silence, approaching Pearl Harbor, the main base of the US Pacific Fleet."

"Moreover, Japan used a new tactic to attack the U.S. naval base this time. This new tactic is to use carrier-based aircraft to carry heavy aerial bombs and torpedoes to attack the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor. Facts have proved that this tactic is very successful. After more than two years The U.S. Pacific Fleet was severely damaged in the attack of the hour. It is said that the U.S. radar had spotted the Japanese planes when they approached Pearl Harbor, but they thought they were their own planes, so they ignored them. Otherwise, the casualties would be much smaller. It can only be said that the Japanese are very lucky." Stalin said.

Chen Feng smiled and said: "Your Excellency only saw superficial phenomena. In fact, the Pearl Harbor incident was a conspiracy!" (To be continued...)
