Chapter 79 The Cairo Declaration (End, 4500
On August 17, Japan and Britain signed the Cairo Armistice Agreement, officially announcing the cessation of the local relations between Japan and Great Britain (London). Although both sides tried to keep it confidential, most of the content was known by senior officials from all countries.
The first article of the main clause includes the recognition of British India's independence and the establishment of Pakistan's Dominion, with Jinnah as prime minister. This dominion has different characteristics compared to the history of India-Pakistan partition: first, there is no East Pakistan within the Japanese Indian framework; second, it has obtained the Kashmir region, rather than being suspenseful like history, controlled by India and Pakistan; finally, the western boundary with Iran was adjusted in favor of Iran. Pahlavido has saved more than 40,000 square kilometers, although they are mountainous areas and barren lands, but they are also considered to be expanding territory.
These are all within the expectations of various countries. The only unexpected thing is that Japan agreed to Guerrol (Nepal) independence and belonged to the British Dominion, and for this reason the United Kingdom gave another offer.
Is it Japan greedy for British arms? Of course not. Guerla is also a piece of meat in size, and it is stuck in China's Tibet region, and its location is very important. However, Guerla people are different from Indians. They are very untamed after the Japanese occupation and cause trouble every few days. Guerla men have a machete, which is very fierce. If they are not confiscated, they are a vicious incident. Confiscated is a mass incident. In addition, the special humanities and environment make Yamashita Fengwen very troubled.
But Guerreu had a good impression of the British, which was really strange. In the end, the Tokyo Base Camp simply wrote a big pen and let Guerreu make it independent. He was also considered the dominant of Great Britain, as long as the British were not allowed to garrison troops, so he could only inform the civil servants. The London government was overjoyed and immediately paid for it.
So the UK finally paid compensation to Japan and Pakistan, and the purchase price of Guerre was changed to:
1,4 Giant-class aircraft carriers, 1.2 million tons of commercial ship tonnage;
2,3,000 tanks (1,000 Cromwell, 1,000 Crusaders, 1,000 Churchills), 6,000 aircraft (2,000 hurricanes, 1,000 spitfires, 1,000 mosquitoes, 1,000 Wellington or handsome warriors, 1,000 Halifax or Lancaster), 500 artillery with a caliber or above 100mm;
33 million tons of oil (Iran compensation);
44 million tons of steel, of which special steel accounts for half;
5. Transfer radar, Merlin engine, and 17-pound gun three technologies.
6. The delivery time for all equipment, warships and materials will be calculated as 2 years from September 1, 1944. The delivery will be carried out according to the progress and will be guaranteed by Germany and other EU countries.
The last three technologies were specially selected by Japan. The UK was quite reluctant, but in the end it was handed over because these were all revealed on the Indian battlefield and could not be kept secret. Hoffman believed that Japan really wanted to understand it thoroughly. It was impossible for self-made ones to be accumulated without 5-8 years. Other technologies that Japan did not know about, such as jet engines, Griffin engines, high-temperature alloy formulas, etc., he instructed the UK not to hand over Germany, of course it could not be hidden.
Seeing that King Minami Tokuromiya and Masayuki Tani signed the letter, Tada Jun was very satisfied: When this batch of arms was obtained, plus the number of Germany, Japan is also an army power with over 10,000 mechas. In this world, except for Germany, the United States has over 10,000, and it seems that no other country can have over 10,000 tanks. Once the Wolf-Car Infantry Fighting Vehicles were equipped with equipment, the mecha power would be perfect!
Japan and France also negotiated the idea of exchanging weapons and materials and equipment in southern Indochina. However, there were not many French weapons that Japan could like, and France could not pay for them even if they paid for them. Oil and steel were not strong enough, and they were stuck here in the end. However, France has now obtained and joked about the complete set of technologies of No. 3 and No. 4 from Germany, and obtained the production authorization of the DB601605 and BWM801 engines, and also obtained the will wheel, axial-level full set of technologies, and the technical equipment is quickly moving closer and unified with Germany.
Therefore, Japan left a living opportunity. If the German tanks and engines built by France pass the quality of the axis aircraft carrier, they can consider using this part to offset the Indochina purchase fee, as long as there must be a large number of products. The two sides agreed to discuss in detail in a few months. France also accepted this. Now the French military industry is still recovering and the overall output is not high. Even if the number is discounted in half, France will not be able to take it out at once. Besides, the French Defense Forces' own military equipment has not been fully equipped. After France officially declared war on Britain, Hoffman agreed to expand the French army to 1.2 million, of which the army will not exceed 800,000, and the navy and air force will not exceed 400,000, and then agreed to expand the army to 1.5 million by the end of 1945. Now France is catching up.
Germany and Japan signed a memorandum to officially implement the German New Guinea delivery treaty after the war in South Africa ended, and the troops were in full force and weapons could be carried on ships. Japan expressed satisfaction with this, and of course it would have to return to China to go through the procedures.
During the meeting, all countries discussed future bilateral cooperation with each other. Vlasov personally took action to show goodwill to the developed European countries, preparing to "invest investment" and develop "three-in-one-supplement" trade. Western and Russian will give preferential conditions. Even agriculture hopes that all countries can invest. The largest and best territories and industries will definitely be booked by Germany, but Germany cannot take everything, and there are still many cooperation opportunities waiting for all countries.
After reading it, the Japanese delegation was also quite moved, expressing its hope that European countries will invest in factories in India in the future, and are willing to openly provide rubber and other tropical specialties to all countries. Now Brazil is in war, rubber plantations are stagnant, and rubber in Southeast Asia has become Japan's largest export foreign exchange-making product, which is generally needed by all countries.
As for the text of the real Cairo Declaration, it was sent to various countries for review long before the conference was launched, and generally expressed their agreement. Even the second and third leaders of the axis such as Italy and Japan rushed to express their agreement and agreement at the conference. Smart people would never jump out to object to the German-dominated world order. Besides, the plan given by Germany was also discussed, brewed and mediated by many parties, and no one could deny it clearly.
On August 20, the Cairo Declaration was officially announced.
The head of the Great German Empire, the prime minister of the Great Japanese Empire, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Italy, the head of the French Republic, the prime minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Newfoundland, the head of the Russian State Socialist Republic... and other political leaders, diplomatic representatives and military advisers, held a meeting in North Africa a few days ago. It has been completed. Here is a summary statement as follows:
Our Axis countries have reached unanimous agreement on future combat plans against the United States and its vassals: Our allies are determined to continue to impose brutal enemies from sea, land and air with unrelaxed pressure, and this pressure is growing. On the occasion of this declaration, the European Combined Fleet is going to South America to fight fiercely with the US military, and the Great Japanese Empire Combined Fleet went to Midway to fight fiercely with the enemy... Our Axis allies are determined to advance east and west to eliminate the enemy.
The purpose of our Axis allies' war this time is to resist the oppression and aggression of US capital and to rescue the working people of all countries who are groaning and suffering under the oppression of American capitalists. All countries will never seek profit for themselves, nor have the ambition to expand their territory.
To this day, the Axis Allies still call on the US government to give up the war, conclude no compensation, no cede land, and no fair contracts of responsible persons. They can manipulate the brutal consortium and bad politicians of the US government to ignore it, continue to squander the welfare of the American people, continue to deceive the people with lies, and continue to sacrifice the lives of the vast number of officers and soldiers to be hostile to the Axis camp. Therefore, our allies have to work together.
The goal of the war in the axis has long been clarified: it aims to stop the ability of US capital to continue to export oppression and aggression to the outside world; it aims to promote the United States to truly establish a democratic and free political system; it aims to deprive the overseas territories and territories occupied by the United States since the 1880s, and make the territories stolen by the United States, such as Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Samoa, the Philippines, Cuba, etc., declare independence; it aims to enable South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Colombia and other countries under the control of the United States to truly gain independence and autonomy.
Based on the goals identified above, our allies will engage in a major and long-term war of perseverance, deprive the United States of America of its ability to continue war and punish the culprit of the United States of America for launching war.
The countries in the Axis once again warned the American people: Our allies have no attempt to enslave the American people; no attempt to demand people's property and freedom; no attempt to deprive America of its own territory; but the war continues, the entire United States is a battlefield, and the whole American people are not spared. Please reflect on what to do.
After the official publication of the Declaration, the three main leaders of Hoffman, Ziano and Tokuro Miyaki Murahiko were interviewed by reporters and made clear statements:
"...The so-called Germany, Italy or Japan will make peace with the United States alone, leaving other allies aside, abandoning the axis covenant is purely nonsense. Since the establishment of the three axial founding countries, they have always been united in spirit, supported each other, fought together and endured the test of history. Their steel will, common beliefs, and the fighting friendship formed by the blood of soldiers is unbreakable. The pursuit of establishing a new international order has never changed, and their determination to oppose American capital oppression is unshakable. In future operations, the three countries will further strengthen coordination mechanisms, support each other with equipment, materials, personnel and other elements, cooperate with each other, realize a global strategy, fight against the United States together and persist to the end.
The three countries discussed establishing the Global Operations Command in North Africa, with the head of state of Germany as the supreme president, the prime minister of Italy and the prime minister of Japan as the supreme deputy commander, establishing the joint meeting mechanism of the chiefs of staff of the Axis Alliance, all dispatched the armed forces of each axis and realized joint combat..."
Finally frozen in the newspaper was a photo of the three of them joining hands and shouting "Long live the axis!"...
