"The Japanese refused to let our army board their territory, which was a bottom line in their negotiations!" Edward Stutinus reported to Roosevelt.

Because the Japanese attacks first and then declared war in the Pearl Harbor incident, Secretary of State Hull was very disgusted with negotiations with the Japanese. Edward, who was about to take over as the next Secretary of State, became the main representative of negotiations with the Japanese.

"What they need is our guarantee that we will relax the control of them and not cross the Ryukyu Islands and the Southern Islands. As for the Chinese people in their native areas, they will solve it themselves!" Edward continued.

"The Japanese cannot stop the Chinese offensive!" Truman rumored beside him, "We need to attack the Japanese mainland immediately!"

"But we still have to recover the Philippines. Our current strength is not enough to go to war with Japan, and China is at the same time." Marshall retorted, "Besides, once our relationship with China becomes bad, the war situation in Europe will be affected. Don't forget that the relationship between the Germans and the Chinese has always been very good!"

"The best way is to temporarily cease the war with the Japanese and accept the preliminary plan recognized by both sides. Let the Japanese and Chinese consume each other first." Lexi said next to him.

"But the British would not agree!" Hull spread his hands and said.

This time the Japanese made great determination. In the new round of Japan-US negotiations, they decided to give up the Philippines and the Northern Mariana Islands. Even the Irian Islands and Marshall Islands, which still occupy some areas, were all given up, and only the Caroline Islands were retained. The US team needed to stop in the Ryukyu Islands and the Southern Islands, and also opened various strategic resources such as oil, rubber, and food to Japan, and may even open some weapons and ammunition transactions.

After China controlled most of Southeast Asia and recovered Sakhalin Island, the Japanese's oil sources had been cut off. After so long consumption of their half-year inventory, they could only last for two months. If they needed to deal with the war, they could even only take one month. This is also one of the reasons why the Japanese were eager to seek peace with the Americans.

Moreover, after the journeys between the North Korean Peninsula and Southeast Asia were stuck, there was a shortage of labor in China, and agriculture was not prosperous in the past two years, which now led to insufficient food.

The Japanese can no longer hold back.

After China declared war on Japan, the Germans deliberately favored China, which cut off even the transactions of neutral countries. They had only a lot of wealth they had plundered but could not spend them.

At this time, no matter how arrogant the Japanese were, they knew that they could not fight against the two major powers of the United States and China. Faced with the nearby threat from China, they chose to compromise with the United States.

As long as the Americans relax the blockade, they will quickly recover and resist the Chinese attack. It will not be too late to expand outward after digesting the spoils.

It should be said that until now, the gains of robbery are greater than their losses, and the Japanese still make money. Even if they abandon the archipelago in the distance, the same is true. Their fleet can be drawn out and dealt with China with all their strength.

However, there is one place where the Japanese still can’t bear to let go, that is India.

The Japanese's crazy tax collection in India has gained even more than Southeast Asia where there is no time to rob the Chinese.

After all, the Chinese had the support of China, and the Japanese were still a little concerned at that time. When they were about to start, they found that they could not chew. The essence of wealth in the entire Southeast Asia, except for the wealth that had been transported to the European colonial suzerain countries, was mostly concentrated in the hands of the Chinese.

When they arrived in India, the Japanese were not polite. The British were confiscated, the Indians were confiscated, and the things in temples and tombs were not spared. Even the docile Ah San who occupied the land felt that the Japanese were too greedy and even more exaggerated than the British.

India's rich products and large population are creating new wealth all the time. As long as India is in hand, it can support the fragile finances of the Japanese and provide a continuous impetus for its future rise again.

This is something that the Japanese don’t want to let go. And they are also sure to continue to guard that half of India.

Unlike the archipelago in the Pacific, this place does not need to face the increasingly powerful naval threat of the Americans. The American army level is still looked down upon by the Japanese.

To this day, the Japanese still control almost one-third of the Irian Island, which makes the Americans unable to swallow.

And even if Americans want to come from the Pacific Ocean, Chinese people who have stuck in the Strait of Malacca may not agree.

The Japanese have been thinking about the relationship between China, the United States, Japan and the three countries.

They believe that China, whose ambitions are also expanding, is also unwilling to let casual Americans get involved in this generation, just as they give up the Northern Mariana Islands with confidence, and will not be too worried that Americans will not keep their promises and continue to rush forward.

Of course, they would not believe in the kindness and promises of the Americans, but at least before the Japanese could resist the continued attack of China, the Americans would be more willing to enjoy the benefits of fishermen.

The Chinese attack on India was also confident that the Japanese would defend it.

The population advantage of the Chinese people is no longer obvious in front of the Indians, and the dedicated A San puppet army is more useful than the Chinese puppet army.

The survival status of those three at the bottom is already bad and cannot be worse. Only when Japan is willing to give a little charity will it have a steady stream of cannon fodder, which is enough to fill any gap in external power.

The war at the border between India and Myanmar is still ongoing, and both sides have filled in more than one million cannon fodder there, but the war situation has always been tug-of-war in the jungle of hundreds of kilometers.

Compared with the equipment and strength of the elite Chinese troops, and those indigenous troops with heavy thunder and little rain, the elite Japanese have already understood that China's intentions have been seen. Although China is dominant and is moving forward step by step, at this speed, the Japanese may have survived the crisis and may have even brought back the whole situation.

With the Indians' cannon fodder power, the Japanese who accelerated the production and equipment of new weapons, and might even get some support from the Americans, were confident that they would block the Chinese's ambitions for India.

The British were too busy to take care of themselves and wanted to attack India, and whether the Americans who also coveted India would support the British was another statement.

"British? Let's talk about it until the European problems are solved!" Lexi smiled.

When the European war is over, all problems will no longer be problems. The Americans who took out their hands are sure of China and the Japanese alone. What is important now is the alliance that separates China and Germany.

"Maybe there will be three months left." Roosevelt, who had just consulted the doctor and learned that his physical condition was not a big problem for the time being, carefully considered his physical recovery time. After the election at the end of the year and the entire situation in Europe, he finally let go:

"Then let the Japanese fight first... On September 18, 2018, just as the Chinese people had just captured the entire Hokkaido for the Chinese army and washed away the shame from 13 years ago, in the waters near the large reef of Nanto Island, the United States was on a re-scheduled Indianapolis, and Japan and the United States had just signed a temporary peace talks and secret agreement.

The deadline is only three months, and it is not as long-term contract as the Japanese imagine, but it is enough to make the Japanese feel relieved.

"Three months is enough to urge the Japanese and China to completely break up!" Edward, who signed the secret contract, later defended himself in his memoir.

He was the director of the Leasing Law Administration before and was in charge of industrial raw materials and transportation. Next, he needed to cooperate to draw out parts of the materials from the Concession Act to carry out the next step of action, or rather, performance.

The American Army then showed courage in the Philippines, regaining lost territory continuously and completely recovered without any casualties. A group of Japanese soldiers who had previously had puppet troops marked were included in the military merit files.

On the islands in the Pacific, the Japanese were also evacuating step by step, with the main force unharmed, and they often plundered the American supplies, transport ships filled with oil, food and even weapons, and even the ships were completely captured by the Japanese.

What's even more ridiculous is that there was an American tanker trek that took the initiative to drive near Japan and was captured. Of course, the Japanese were much more kind. In addition to deducting oil, they would never hurt people, and even send them back to ships.

The war between Japan and the United States continues, but except for the sound of guns and cannons, there are no more intense bloody rains.

A classic scene recorded in later generations as "no war on the Eastern Front" is constantly being staged.

The American soldiers even felt the ease in the war and could go to pick up girls casually.

As the Japanese gradually pulled the main forces of the navy and army back to their homeland, the war on Japan became more intense.

Although China has occupied Hokkaido, there are more and more Japanese warships in the Tsugu Strait.

Although the Chinese army had already invaded Xiaguan, and the Chinese national flag and the Chinese National Defense Forces were erected on the Chunfan Building where Li Hongzhang signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki that year, the Chinese National Defense Forces used the five-star military flag of the Pioneer Army, but there were more Japanese warships that were hitting the Guanmen Strait with the bombardment of the vanguard artillery. Even Japanese planes attacked the Pioneer Artillery with high muzzles every day.

More and more Japanese fighter jets are flying in the local sky again and are challenging Chinese fighter jets regardless of their own.

"Just fight, who is afraid of whom!" Meng Xiang, who was a step later, heard the news of the secret agreement between Japan and the United States, said with a dissatisfaction.
