In addition to the Korean Peninsula in the Far East, the entire Soviet battlefield spent 1942 in silence. As the New Year bell rang, time entered 1943.

The luxury of the New Year concert in Vienna is still there, and it seems that this war has little impact on the daily life of the entire Austro-Hungarian capital.

The calmness on the surface is actually a surging tide behind it.

The Americans are ready for a counterattack. In the first half of 1943, they will have eight "Essex" class aircraft carriers in service one after another. On average, the US Navy will add one main aircraft carrier in less than a month. As their strength continues to increase, their asking price during the peace talks is gradually increasing.

"Haha, they asked us to return Gibraltar, Egypt, South Africa, Myanmar, Malaya, the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies, and to return us only to the German Pacific colonies? What do you think? Since they are unwilling to truce with the existing occupied areas as the boundary, then continue to fight and see who will lose more in the end." In the Palace of Offburg, Lee Hayden threw aside a document handed over by Foreign Minister Shisnig, and his face became bad.

The strategy formulated by Germany and Austria was to temporarily stop the offensive after forcing Japan to surrender in the Far East. In fact, the benefits obtained by the German-Austrian axis, including Italy, in this war were far from the original expectations. This only shows that the decline of the British Empire was too fast, and almost one-third of their colonial heritage was divided again by Germany and Austria.

As for the current strategic situation, Germany and Austria are satisfied, but the problem is that the empire is not willing to lose a large colony of the past so easily. They are still immersed in the glory of the past and have not woken up. The Americans who hope to get enough money in this war and become the new overlords are fully supported by the British to continue the war.

Paying a huge price to land on the British Isles is not in the fundamental interests of Germany and Austria. The Soviet Union, which retains a huge threat to neighboring countries for a moment, will also help Finland, the three Baltic countries, Belarus, Ukraine, the Don, the Caucasus Federation and those new countries in Central Asia rely more on the Axis Alliance.

For example, if Gibraltar is handed over to Spain, there will always be gaps in the relationship between Britain and Spain. If the Falkland Islands are handed over to Argentina, the Argentines will always expect the Axis Alliance to support it on this issue. As for the arrangements in the Far East, Malaya and West Ilian Islands will be handed over to Germany, Austro-Hungary will be handed over to Sumatra and East Ilian Islands, Italians will be handed over to Java and Timor Islands, Chinese will be handed over to the Kingdom of Spain with the mediation of Austro-Hungary.

Japan needs to return all the colonies he annexed and ced the Tsukuma Islands. According to the plan, Tsukuma Island will be handed over to the new North Korean rule. The Ryukyu Islands will be handed over to China.

In this way, in order to protect the results of this war, the Axis Alliance, which has gained great benefits in this war, will inevitably stand on the same front on the international issues after the war and become the main makers and executors of the new world's rules of the game. All countries that oppose the Axis Group will be suppressed and unified sanctioned, isolated from the entire world's economic circle, and cannot obtain normal trade benefits, thereby affecting the development of their economy and technology.

If you challenge the new world rules, it is equivalent to challenging the entire group of Yield-loss countries at the same time. Unless you have strong enough strength to reshuffle the world, it is impossible to succeed.

In this way, the entire world will be held in the hands of the Axis Group led by Germany and Austria, and the formulation of the entire world rules will inevitably be in line with the fundamental interests of several major powers within the Axis Group.

"Our initial strategic vision was to share half of the colonial interests from the British, and since they were still dissatisfied, they would lose more. Now the Australian Operations Plan can be implemented. The German Navy will fully undertake combat tasks on the Atlantic battlefield, and we, including the Italian Navy and the Chinese Navy, will be mainly responsible for combat operations in the Pacific. From now on, the outcome of the entire war will depend on our performance in the maritime war. The main depends on the efforts of the navy and air force, and the focus of domestic production will also be tilted towards shipbuilding and aircraft manufacturing. The Americans' naval construction plan for this year's naval construction plan for 2.6 million ships, including 12 aircraft carriers, and we will reach at least 70% of their tonnage. Among them, at least 8 aircraft carriers will be included.

In terms of aircraft manufacturing, the number of aircraft produced by the Americans this year is expected to be 65,000, including 7,000 heavy bombers and 6,000 large transport aircraft. The scale of our aircraft manufacturing industry also needs to reach 70% of the US aircraft manufacturing industry, that is, at least 42,000, of which the number of heavy bombers and large transport aircraft is no less than 10,000. Only in this way can we gain a relatively active position on the battlefield.

The result of this war depends on our industrial production, on our ships, machine tools and production lines in factories, domestic energy, electricity and raw materials, and military production should be given priority.

Even if they don’t want to end the war now, then we will make them lose more!”

Just after the New Year, Germany and Austria approved the Australian Operation Plan formulated by the Navy. According to the emperor's suggestion, the Navy gave up the plan to cut off the entire Australian maritime connection from the Coral Overseas Line, and instead chose the inside combat plan to land directly on the Australian continent from the East Indies.

In another world, due to the lack of cooperation between the navy and the army, the army refused to use the navy's combat plan to land on Australia, which ultimately forced the joint fleet to choose the outer combat plan that gradually went south from the Central Pacific Islands. In the end, the joint fleet was defeated by the Americans, taking advantage of their geographical advantages and with the cooperation of land-based aviation, and successively won the two naval battles between the Coral Sea and Midway Island, thus completely reversing the situation on the Pacific battlefield.

If the Army was willing to cooperate with the Navy and chose to land from Australia, thus forcing the US fleet to enter the Alafra Sea and the Timor-Leste Sea to prevent the Japanese from landing, the result of the naval battle would never be like this. In fact, it was precisely because of the dispute between the Army and the Navy and the unworthy army of the Army that the entire joint fleet was killed.

Of course, given the huge gap in industrial capabilities, on the Pacific battlefield, the Americans could eventually kill Japan, but they would never be able to reverse the situation on the entire battlefield so easily.

Lee Haydn's advice to the Navy is to advance steadily, thus forcing the US Navy to fight decisively in the waters controlled by the Axis land-based aviation forces. If the Americans give up their defense of the western waters of Australia, then the Axis will take advantage of the Chinese's military source advantage to engage in a protracted war of attrition with the US on the Australian continent.

In terms of the long-term war of attrition, most of the military supplies can be supplied by mainland China, while the Axis powers only need to transport heavy equipment such as tanks, aircraft, cannons from Europe. Compared with the United States, which is thousands of miles away, the Axis powers have more advantages.

In another world, the Japanese could not engage in a long war of attrition with the United States. In this world, the Axis coalition forces, mainly Germany, Austria and China, have enough strength to engage in a long war of attrition with the Americans here. It is almost impossible to swallow the entire Australia in one go, but it is not very difficult to land on the Australian continent with only 270,000 troops, with weak defenses and capture the entire Western Australia.

Germany and Austria, the "Germany brothers" and the Chinese, beat the fourth among the "Anglo-Saxon Brothers". Now the British are half-disabled and are too busy to take care of themselves. Only the Americans who have been promoted from the second to the eldest for less than 30 years are willing to help. The fifth New Zealand is too weak, and it is estimated that everyone is half a dozen. No one can beat their opponents at once.

But after a long time, Americans probably won't be able to bear it.

Can the Chinese provide tens of millions of troops, and everyone in the United States can do it?

There are so many Chinese people that even one person and one kitchen knife are scary.

If you want to fundamentally weaken China, you can only start by reducing China's population, otherwise the country will never be conquered. Even if you become a conqueror, you will only be assimilated. The Chinese have not been stronger for thousands of years, but they have not died because of the huge population base, which forces all alien rulers to adapt to the language and culture of the Han people in turn, and eventually be assimilated.

In another world, on the Korean Peninsula after the war, even the US military armed to the teeth could not engage in a long-term attributable war with the Chinese who were absolutely backward in equipment. Moreover, now, with Germany and Austria behind the scenes, the equipment level of the Chinese army is not much worse than that of the US military.

At most, Americans who can dispatch 150 troops on the Australian battlefield want to win eventually, the possibility is basically zero.

When everyone is tired of playing, you can sit down and have a good chat. (To be continued.)
