Third Reich Episode 482
Being fooled by Ribbentrop, Hiroshi Oshima is also ambitious.What's more, he also knows that in China, Yamamoto 56's "first-hand strategy" has achieved a large part of the consensus among naval officers and soldiers, which coincides with the German's suggestion.
Therefore, the hot-headed Hiroshi Oshima advised Japan to be resolute in the ongoing negotiations in Washington, to speak simply, and not to be afraid of the power of the Americans.

Few people know that Reinhardt once vowed to make a promise to Japan. After a series of talks with the pro-German Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka, he made a guarantee that reassured the Japanese.
It all stemmed from Reinhardt's policy toward the United States, but in the first few years of the war, Reinhardt was doing his best to keep the United States out of the war.
Keeping the United States out of the war is also the top priority of the German embassy in Washington.
To this end, they used all means, including bribing members of Congress, trying to subsidize famous German-friendly American writers, and funding the "America First Committee", to support American isolationists and keep the United States from participating in the war against Germany's enemy.
Reinhardt fully believed that as long as the United States was led by President Roosevelt, the ideal of the Third Reich to dominate the world would not be realized.He also made this very clear in private conversations with his cronies.
Reinhardt confessed frankly to almost everyone he trusted around him that the German Third Reich would deal with the United States sooner or later, and it would have to deal with the United States "hardly".
But Germany can only deal with one superpower at a time, which has been the recipe for his strategy's success thus far.
The time will surely come to deal with the United States, but only after defeating the Soviet Union.At that time, with the assistance of the entire Allied military group, he will gather powerful external forces to deal with the nouveau riche Americans.
In that case, it would be nothing more than Europe, Asia and Africa confronting North and South America, and the Americans' "chosen place" advantage will eventually limit their hands and feet.
The Americans who are isolated and helpless can only be blocked in the Americas in the end.
Therefore, Reinhardt has been trying his best to avoid provoking the United States and preventing the US military from joining the war before the preparations for attacking the United States are ready.
And to do this, Japan is the key!
Not only Reinhardt, but even Field Marshal Brauchich agreed that Japan has the power to contain the United States. It can prevent the United States from sending troops to Europe to fight against Germany like it did in World War I.
For this reason, after the start of the war with Britain, when dealing with the Japanese, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop initially emphasized repeatedly the importance of not provoking the United States to give up its neutrality.
By the beginning of 1941, when the Soviet Union and Germany were fighting fiercely across the board and the British army was defeated at home, Ribbentrop, following Reinhardt's request, was particularly eager to drag Japan into the war, not to fight the United States, let alone cooperate with the German army on the two fronts. Instead of flanking the Soviet Union, go to Britain, which has clearly failed but still has a large number of overseas colonies.
After the British government moved its capital to Northern Ireland, Germany put more pressure on Japan.
At that time, Ribbentrop received the Japanese ambassador, General Hiroshi Oshima, in his mansion near Salzburg, and preached to Hiroshi Oshima provocatively: Although the German sea lion operation has been victorious, the Japanese "For its own benefit," it should enter the war "as soon as possible" and occupy the territories of the British Empire in Asia.
Ribbentrop also admitted frankly that Japan's sudden dispatch of troops would definitely prevent the United States from participating in the war.According to information personally guaranteed by Reinhardt, the U.S. military is not yet fully armed, and it will not want its navy to be endangered west of Hawaii.In the case of Japan sending troops, the United States is less likely to enter the war.
Ribbentrop also imitated Reinhardt's tone to fool Japan: "As long as the Japanese government respects the interests of the United States in other respects, it is impossible for Roosevelt to persuade the Americans to fight with any reliable arguments. Had the United States also had to stand by while Japan invaded the Philippines, it would have been unlikely to declare war.
Finally, Troff said that even if the United States really entered the war, the Japanese fleet would definitely defeat the American fleet with ease.If the Japanese Navy wanted the aircraft carrier technology that the German Navy could use to defeat the British Royal Navy, the Germans even offered to give it generously.
Under such arguments, Ribbentrop preached to Hiroshi Oshima that the war would end quickly with the collapse of the US government.As a bridge connecting the governments of Japan and Germany, Hiroshi Oshima's achievements will be indelible after the war.
Being fooled by Ribbentrop, Hiroshi Oshima is also ambitious.What's more, he also knows that in China, Yamamoto 56's "first-hand strategy" has achieved a large part of the consensus among naval officers and soldiers, which coincides with the German's suggestion.

Text 729 The arrow is on the string
(Please...no, please watch it later)
早在6月23日,由日本海军中将南云忠一指挥的,包括6艘航空母舰、2艘配备有14英寸口径大炮的快速战列舰、2艘重型巡洋舰、1艘轻型巡洋舰、9艘驱逐舰、3艘油船和1艘给养船的“机动部队”,就已经根据山本56的指令,集结完毕并做好了远航最后准备。
6月24日,山本56向南云忠一发出了绝密作战命令:“机动部队务于6月25日出发,竭力保持行动隐蔽,7月2日傍晚进入待机海域并加油完毕。1”
Therefore, at 6 a.m. on June 25, Nagumo Chuichi led the fleet code-named "Mobile Force" and anchored out of the port. Guided by three submarines manufactured according to German technology, they quietly sailed in the North Pacific Ocean, trying their best to Concealedly sail to the standby sea area at 6° north latitude and 3° west longitude.
Will be there, they will wait for the final order to attack, and then attack the United States, a country that has been out of war! .
On June 6th, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet was already on its way to Pearl Harbor.Tokyo can't wait for Germany to formally sign the alliance war treaty against the United States.
So Hiroshi Oshima, the Japanese ambassador to Germany, received instructions that the Germans must immediately sign the agreement to declare war on the United States.
On the same day that Hiroshi Oshima received this instruction, the Japanese foreign minister also held talks with the German ambassador in Tokyo in person.He emphasized to the German ambassador that the talks in Washington had collapsed after Japan refused to back down on U.S. demands for it to stay away from the German-Italian-dominated military bloc of the Iron Allies.Japan hopes that Germany will rightly value this sacrifice it has made to the common cause.
Of course, the German ambassador Ott would naturally not believe such a statement.The Japanese government is not a fool, they will not fall out with the United States for the benefit of Germany and Italy, let alone the benefit of the allies.
Ota bets that if the United States abandons the oil embargo against Japan, this country may even be able to call the United States emperor a godfather.
However, the current Japanese Foreign Minister Togo is still trying to persuade the German ambassador Ott: "Now it is the last moment to make a serious decision! The United States is seriously preparing for war... Although Japan is not afraid of the breakdown of negotiations, But we also hope that if that happens, Germany and Italy will stand firmly on Japan's side as the two heads of state promised."
For such a request, Ott, as a diplomatic ambassador, also fully learned from Ribbentrop's experience, and agreed to all of Japan's requests.
He said in a telegram to Berlin: "I answered him and promised that Germany's future position was beyond doubt. The Japanese Foreign Minister then said that he understood from my words that Germany would in this case I would consider my relationship with Japan to be a relationship of shared fate. Afterwards, I replied that, in my opinion, Germany would of course like to have a mutual agreement between the two countries in this situation.”
Under Ott's repeated assurances, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs reassured a little.They thought that there should be no problem with what the German government's local officials and officials stationed in Japan promised, and what their heads of state personally promised.
......
At the same time, Hiroshi Oshima, who had just arrived in Austria and was preparing to participate in the Mozart Music Festival, also rushed back to Berlin in a hurry.
(Sorry, the situation is very special today, please refresh the first one.)
