Spy Wars: I signed in at the Military Police at the beginning
Chapter 267: New Situation in the Pacific Theater
"Commander, I don't quite understand what you mean. In the future, the whole of Australia will be yours. Isn't this benefit enough for you to convince others?" Jules asked with a puzzled look.
"Mr. Jules, it seems that your family has done a lot of business of getting something for nothing! But I still say the same thing. If you need us to send troops, there is no problem. But you have to pay more!"
In order to avoid being tricked by the shrewd German businessman in front of him, Zhou Ke had a firm principle before the conversation. That is, don't do anything that doesn't bring immediate benefits! No matter how lucrative the future benefits described by the other party are, don't do it!
Of course, if Jules could use his family funds, which were rich enough to rival a country, to pay some commissions in advance and send some real money, Zhou believed that it would not be impossible to send some recently integrated fanatical militarists to loosen up the local soil in Australia.
"Commander, we will discuss the issue of additional money later. I would like to ask if you have any other requests?" Seeing that Zhou Ke was a little stubborn, Yule temporarily put aside the issue of fees and asked about other requests.
"We don't have too many requirements in other aspects, but there is one thing I must make clear in advance!"
"Just tell me. As long as money is not an issue, I think our family should have no reason to refuse you! Of course, if you are planning to arrange a marriage, just ask! We currently have 15 girls of the right age in our family. I have no objection even if you marry five at a time..."
Suddenly remembering that Zhou Ke was not married, Yule's eyes turned and he excitedly introduced to Zhou Ke the various advantages of the girls in his family.
"Ahem... Mr. Jules, you're talking too much! I'm getting married next month, and what I want to say is about public opinion!"
"Based on what I know about your family from David, your family currently controls a lot of news audience resources internationally besides Australia, right?" Zhou Ke coughed twice and asked Jules, who was gradually going off topic.
"Of course, Commander, we still have a certain advantage in public opinion in non-Axis occupied areas!"
"Do you need us to describe your sending troops to Australia as a just thing? Excuse me, but it may be a bit difficult!" When Yule heard Zhou Ke's words, he was happy at first but then he was troubled again.
He was happy that Zhou Ke must have been thinking of sending troops to Australia when asking this, but he was troubled because Japan's international reputation has not been good since it formed an alliance with Germany, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to change it by force.
"Mr. Jules, although it's difficult now, it should be much better after a while. If you still think this is a troublesome matter, we can choose not to send troops!"
"Commander, how long will it take? Our family is in a very tense situation right now. There will definitely be problems within half a year..."
"Report, Commander, this is a telegram from the Sasebo Naval Base, sent specially to you by Marshal Shimazu!" Before he could finish his words, a major knocked on the door and came in and handed a compiled telegram to Zhou Ke personally.
"Mr. Jules, it won't take that long. You'll know the reason in a month at most. Now you can think about the cost. I'm going to go out and make a phone call and I'll be back later."
"Mr. Osamu Ozawa, take this opportunity to tell Mr. Jules about our current 'real' situation!" After reading the telegram, Zhou Ke said hello to Jules and left the reception room.
.........
The telegram was sent by Shimazu Chinobu. The Americans did not know from which source they got the detailed information about the unrest on the Japanese island. Thinking that the Japanese would fight among themselves, the Americans took advantage of the chaos to attack Midway Island again, launching the third Battle of Midway.
Perhaps it was because the turmoil ended too quickly with the concerted efforts of Zhou Ke and others, the American attack seemed to be merely a test.
The battle lasted only half a day, with much ado about nothing. After the first round of attacks was blocked, the American troops quickly stopped their efforts.
"Father, I have received the telegram you sent, but are you sure the Americans don't intend to fight us?" Zhou Ke felt a little strange about the peace talks mentioned by Shimazu Chinobu at the end of the telegram.
Zhou Ke really couldn't think of any reason for the United States to negotiate in secret. Even if Yamamoto Kiseki and others had carried out a certain degree of harassment and sabotage on the U.S. mainland before they turned into ashes, based on the U.S.'s recovery speed, it should not be weak now.
"Zhen Ping, the peace talks are definitely real, but it's hard to say how long they will last. According to the latest intelligence I've received, because too many Americans have died in the Pacific in the past two years, a serious anti-war trend has erupted in the United States."
"Many people are walking around the streets with the slogan 'We want peace, not war', and fewer and fewer young people are actively joining the army. They now need some time to deal with domestic issues," explained Shimazu Chinobu.
"Father, if this is the case, will we still negotiate with the Americans?" Zhou Ke asked the question that concerned him most.
The war with the Americans can be said to have a ripple effect. If the Pacific War enters a white-hot stage, then this future war will inevitably have a significant impact on Zhou Ke's subsequent arrangements.
Without mentioning the distant past, let's just say that Zhou Ke intends to stop the invasion of China and withdraw from the Chinese battlefield. Once the Americans interfere, many things will not go smoothly. Fortunately, the Americans don't have atomic bombs now, otherwise things will be even more difficult!
"The military's current discussion suggests that we should do the same as the Americans, pretending to be accommodating for now. They will deal with their problems, and we can take this opportunity to rest and recuperate."
"After all, if we push too hard, the anti-war voices in their country will surely die down, and we will end up losing more than we gain."
"Moreover, I guess the Americans now are probably hoping that we will take the opportunity to attack, so that they can take advantage of it!" Shimazu Chinobu replied.
"Father, I agree with your point of view, but since the Americans are planning to negotiate, we might as well take advantage of it!"
"Combine the peace talks with the Americans with the issuance of an anti-war statement. I believe that will be more beneficial to us. At least we can gain the upper hand in international public opinion!" Zhou Ke suggested after thinking for a while.
"Jinping, are you saying that we should take this opportunity to get rid of Emperor Showa and some opponents of the previous coup, and use this opportunity to get out of the quagmire of war?"
"But Zhen Ping, you should know that we cannot withdraw our troops from many places, otherwise our domestic economic system will collapse in an instant!" Shimazu Chinobu pondered for a moment and felt that Zhou Ke's method was a bit too idealistic.
