Hello, this is my first time posting at this board. Anyway, I thought of this scenario, and I was wondering if it is plausible. I’m sure someone have already thought of this, and please feel free to correct any of my error or just plain slam me.
June, 1941 - Wehrmacht launches Operation Barbarossa and blitz into the USSR
July 1941 - Rippentrop meets with Tojo to discuss an invasion of Siberia. Rippentrop promise after the fall of the Soviets to supply 1 million kl of oil to Japan a year, after the Middle East and Carcausus oil field are secured. (Japan have oil reserves estimate to last till late 1942 without American oil) Tojo agrees and immediately delay all operations in the Southern Pacific. Pearl Harbor attacked delayed till June of 1942.
August 1941 - Churchill and Roosevelt issue the Atlantic Charter.
Early September 1941 - All Japanese offensive operations in China were stopped, and the Japanese Army blitz across the Siberian border from Manchukuo and Sakhalin Island. Main objective was Vladivostok, and the entire Sakhalin Island. Japanese naval ships bombards major cities on the Russian coast. The Japanese had initial success with the invasion, but were stop at the gate of Vladivostok. Russian tank divisions counterattacked and the Japanese line barely held on, and finally stabilized after a few days of good weather for Jap airforce to operate. All diplomatic relations between the US and Japan are stopped.
October 1941 - Operation Typhoon begins. Sakhalin belong to the Japanese, but the battles on main land continue to be a stalemate and draining the Soviet's manpower and resources.
Early December 1941 - Moscow falls to the Nazi and Stalin was killed in the city. The rest of the Soviet Union on the verge of a revolution. Turkey enters the war with the Axis and made a half hearted attack on the Caucausus. Britain declares war on Turkey.
Early January 1942 - Leningrad falls to the Nazis. Molotov establish a new government and end all hostilities with the Axis. A peace treaty slightly more lenient than Vichy was given to the Russian people, which still include raw materials being delivered to the Axis (including Japan). European Axis controls all land east of the Volga, and the Japanese was awarded the entire east coast of the Soviet Union. Japan's honor is finally restored from the defeat she suffered against the Russians in 1939.
Late January 1942 - US begin organizing volunteer units to Europe, and all lend - lease equipment are send to England or China. Japanese troops begin to refit for the future South Pacific campaign. Axis troops in Russia begin refitting for Africa, and summer offensive down to the Middle East.
February 1942 - With new intelligent reports, Pearl Harbor attack plan revised to include the submarine shipyards, and oil storage facilities.
April 1942 - First American volunteer divisions arrive at Egypt to reinforce the British. Hitler was anger by this and order Rommel to be reinforced immediately.
May 1942 - Rommel reinforced, and the Germans and Americans meet at the battlefield for the first time. The bulk of the German army are either transferred to North Africa or Turkey. Japanese oil supply running desperately low.
June 7 1942 - The first order of 200,000 kl of oil was delivered to the Japanese, way less than the Jap expected. Japanese launches sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, US enters WWII; Japanese attack Malaysia, Philippines, Guam, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Wake Island. Pearl Harbor was a complete success, most US ships were either heavily damage or sunk. The Lexington and Enterprise were included in the ships that were sunk. The Japanese have destroyed all the harboring and oil storage facilities. All damaged US ships were towed to either San Francisco, San Diego, or Seattle for repair.
Late June, 1942 - Germany invades from Turkey with two armies. One head toward Cairo, and the other head toward Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan. Rommel's army attack from the west, but was stopped by Allied troops at El Alamein. Germany declares war on the US.
Late July 1942 - Egypt falls to the Axis from the attack on both sides, and the Allied troops retreat to Sedan. British Med. fleet redeploy to either India or merge with the home fleet.
Late August 1942 - Germans reached Pakistan and halt the advance at the border of India. All Middle Eastern countries are now either pro-Axis or Axis controlled.
September 1942 - With India in danger, British halt all material support going through India to China. China now stand alone without supports from other Allied powers due to the Japanese blockade.
December 1942 - Japan secure her own resources by controlling all of Asia and the Pacific, excluding Hawaii, Australia, India and China. Germany can now deliver the amount of oil supply as needed by Japan with the new oil field secured in the Middle East. China is on the verge of throwing in the towel...
Will this scenario have work? Will the Allies still attempt a Torch or Overlord with most the Axis forces still intact? Will the wonder weapons come sooner with the Luftwaffe keeping the Allies bombing campaign at bay? Will the Allies throw in the towel before the atomic bomb is ready in 1945?
