Chapter 85 Sino-German Agreement
Before and even after the outbreak of World War II, China and Germany had a considerable honeymoon period.
Everything has a reason, why are Germany and China so good? This has to start with Chiang Kai-shek and Hitler, the rulers of the two countries at that time.
Lao Jiang once believed that if China's traditional culture was combined with the theory of fascism, it would be a magic weapon to govern the troubled times in China at that time. During the Republic of China, there was an organization called the "Fuxing Society" that made people shudder, to put it bluntly, it was a spy organization, and this organization was the product of Lao Chiang's imitation of the German fascists.
After Hitler became the German chancellor, in order to promote his idea of aggression and expansion, he decided to vigorously develop the military industry, the development of the military industry needs a lot of resources to support, Germany is a resource-poor country, where do these resources come from? Hitler set his sights on China.
In Hitler's eyes, China was Germany's "source of stable strategic information." This is interesting, Chiang admired Hitler and wanted to increase international trade with Germany, and Hitler needed China's resources, so the two hit it off.
In May 1936, when the "German-Chinese Credit Loan Contract" was signed, the relations between China and Germany gradually improved, and Hitler presented Chiang Kai-shek with the honorary saber of the German Wehrmacht and a photo of himself to express his "admiration for Junzuo and your country". Chiang Kai-shek also took advantage of Hitler's birthday to call a telegram to praise Hitler.
And that's not even counting the fact that Germany also gifted Chiang Kai-shek three cars, one of which was identical to the one Hitler used when he inspected the army. Chiang Kai-shek directly presented honors to the German Minister of Defense, Minister of Economy, Minister of Aviation, and other dignitaries.
Germany also sent a large number of military advisers to China, and in addition to this, the trade in strategic materials and arms between the two countries developed rapidly.
As for strategic materials, China mainly exports tungsten sand (an indispensable strategic raw material for making guns and cannons) and heavy metal raw materials such as antimony and tin to Germany. The arms trade is mainly due to Germany's exports of guns and other materials to China.
The arms that Germany exported to China also included minelayerers, field guns, anti-aircraft guns, tractors, gunboats, speedboats, and anti-aircraft guns. When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in 1937, the Kuomintang authorities already had a force of more than 80,000 people with all German-style equipment, which was used as the main force on the Songhu battlefield.
After Japan's full-scale invasion of China, China and Japan are no longer at odds. However, on September 27, 1940, Germany, Italy, and Japan formed an alliance, and it did not matter if the alliance was formed, but it had to show some sincerity, and Germany's sincerity was to "recognize and respect Japan's leading position in the establishment of a new order in Greater East Asia."
That's not all, Hitler even announced the recognition of Wang Jingwei's puppet regime, the Kuomintang couldn't bear it, and Lao Jiang scolded in his mouth, "Niang Pixi!" Then it was officially announced that diplomatic relations with Germany would be severed. In 1941, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Kuomintang declared war on Germany, Italy and Japan at the same time.
Sure enough, there is no 100-day red flower, and there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests. China and Germany are a pair of good friends, and they are completely evil. However, in 1942, the turning point came.
In the year of 1942, Hitler began to raise eyebrows at China again, trying to lure China to sign a "Sino-German Military Secret Treaty", what did Hitler want to do? They want to tie China to the chariot of the Axis powers and win over China to "raid India and cooperate with Germany."
The recollections of Halder, chief of the General Staff of the German Army, even more clearly exposed Hitler's conspiracy, and the reason why he wanted to win over China to encircle India was to "divide his troops to cross Iran, enter the Persian Gulf, and join forces with Japan in the Indian Ocean."
Lao Chiang is a ** lake, Hitler's tricks naturally can't hide from Lao Chiang's eyes, for Hitler's attitude, he wrote very clearly in his diary, "For the German line, it is advisable not to explore it again, it is better to strictly refuse it." ”
Due to the appearance of Li Ming, Japan has kicked Hitler out of the Axis powers, Lao Chiang rejected Hitler, Hitler has found Li Ming, Li Ming has an industry in Europe, and now Myitkyina is too large in size, the Japanese army is strong, and the commander of the British First Army, Harold. General Alexander, who calmly commanded the orderly retreat of the British army on the battlefield and followed the last British troops to evacuate Dunkirk. It was because of General Alexander's outstanding performance in this great retreat that the Japanese army immediately captured the British colonies in Southeast Asia shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the British troops in Burma and other places were also in a very dangerous situation at that time. So General Alexander was sent by Churchill to Burma, but General Alexander soon found that the British army in Burma was ineffective, especially demoralized, and even more unexpected. Due to the British colonialists' expropriation in the area, many Burmese natives volunteered to become accomplices of the Japanese army and became guides for the Japanese army. At this time, General Alexander knew very well that if he defended Burma again, he was afraid that the last bit of troops would be lost.
So he thought of withdrawing to India, and everyone should know that the reason why Alexander was able to retreat safely from Dunkirk was because of the desperate resistance of tens of thousands of French troops. Now after coming to Burma, he naturally set his sights on the Chinese Expeditionary Force, after all, these Chinese soldiers with backward equipment saved the lives of 7,000 British troops in Ringanqiang. At this time, the supreme commander of the Allied forces in Southeast Asia was Stilwell, and Alexander did a shameless thing, and actually asked the elite of the expeditionary force to be transferred to Chokba in the name of organizing the Battle of Mandalay, in order to ensure the safe retreat of the British army. Eventually, the Chinese Expeditionary Force was forced to accept Stilwell's military command, and the British fled westward, leaving behind all their weapons and equipment, and withdrew all the way to India. According to statistics, there were 30,000 British troops who safely withdrew to India at that time, and Alexander once again succeeded in saving the lives of tens of thousands of British soldiers, but everyone should know that the reason why Alexander was able to successfully retreat was because he betrayed the Chinese expeditionary force.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force fought a bloody battle with the ferocious Japanese army, and after successfully completing the blocking mission, it suddenly found that the so-called British allies had already withdrawn to India. And what makes people feel even more speechless is that the British soldiers burned a large amount of canned food and oil and other important resources on the way to escape, and never thought of leaving them to the Chinese army, when the Japanese army realized it and captured Myitkyina, everyone should know that this is the only way for the expeditionary force to return home. In such a critical situation, Du Yuming was forced to lead tens of thousands of soldiers of the expeditionary force into the Savage Mountain, and unfortunately was attacked by devils and suffered heavy losses.
Li Ming knew that a choice must be made, Britain, France and the United States on one front, must take advantage of the chaos to take back the lost territory, the small partners know that in the future China's southern Tibet, Southeast Asia, ** are the troubles left by Britain and the United States to us led to one country, two systems, historical data Japan invaded China for 14 years, brought endless harm to the Chinese people, and finally in 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and World War II also ended completely with Japan's surrender, and after it ended, began to liquidate the defeated countries.
At that time, many people were arguing about the matter of demanding reparations from Japan, because at that time Japan hugged the thigh of the United States, but for our country, first of all, we did not want Japan's innocent citizens to experience war and have to bear huge compensation, and secondly, we needed it more.
When the Japanese devils were in China and occupied so much of our land, we had to take it back first, and the Northeast was the first to return to China, and as soon as the puppet Manchukuo regime was dissolved and Pu Yi was captured as a prisoner of war by the Soviet army, the Northeast returned to the embrace of the motherland, and later in 1945, Taiwan also returned to the motherland.
**It has always been the territory of China, isn't it right to take it back? The attitude of the country towards the territorial issue is not to give up an inch of land, and it is also the policy and strategy of the past dynasties, defending the territory and defending the territory is the responsibility of the state, but also the responsibility of the military, Li Ming has no room for negotiation on the territory and territorial issues.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, ** has been a British colony, and later after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the United States participated in World War II, Britain and the United States and other major powers, and China formed an alliance.
At that time, at the time of the division, ** belonged to China, which meant that the surrender of troops in the ** region was accepted by China**, and many people in the Kuomintang also proposed to take the opportunity to take back **, and Japan was also willing to return ** at that time, and the United States also expressed support for China to reclaim **.
But there were always some accidents, the British prime minister couldn't sit still, and Churchill stood up to accuse, saying that ** was a British region, and sent a telegram to the United States, saying that he had sent a fleet to solve the matter of Japan's surrender, and the final result was that the United States fell to the British side.
