Chapter 74: Japan-Burma Agreement
From March ~ December 7, 1941, the United States and Japan held a nine-month "marathon" negotiation, which bought time for Japan to start a war [33] . During this period, Japan completed the deployment of combat forces in the south; In 1941, Japan produced 6 million tons of pig iron, 5.5 million tons of steel, more than 5,000 aircraft, and 48 ships (including 5 aircraft carriers, 1 battleship, and 1 cruiser), completing the final preparations for war.
Colonization in Southeast Asia
On the eve of World War II, except for Thailand, which was formally an independent country, all other countries in Southeast Asia were colonies of European and American countries, among which Britain occupied Burma, Malaysia and Singapore; U.S. occupation of the Philippines; French occupation of Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia); Dutch occupation of Indonesia; Portugal occupies Timor. Due to their own weak strength and inability to get rid of the status of colonial rule, the leaders and nationalists of some Southeast Asian countries pinned their hopes for independence on Japan, believing that Japan was their ally in resisting Western colonial rule, and fantasized about using Japan's strength to overthrow European and American colonial rule. The colonial rule of Europe and the United States created conditions for Japan's "southward expansion", and Japanese spies spared no effort to infiltrate Southeast Asia. At the beginning of 1941, Japan favored Thailand on the pretext of "mediating" the dispute between Indochina and Thailand, prompting Thailand to lean toward Japan and preparing the conditions for Japan's attack on Burma and the Malay Peninsula. In early 1941, the Burmese People's Revolutionary Party signed a secret agreement with Japan, asking Japan to help form the "Burma Independence Army" and sending 2,000 young people to Taiwan and Hainan Island for training.
The Japanese base camp planned to attack Pearl Harbor and then bombed Davao City in Mindanao, followed by Clark Airfield and Naval Base Carvette. Manila was bombed on December 9, 1941. On December 10, 1941, two days after the Japanese landed at Apari and Vigan in North Luzon, they landed at Legaspi in South Luzon. On December 24, 1941, the main force of the Japanese army landed at Inyain. On the same day, Japanese troops landed at Artimonan and then launched a centripetal attack on Manila. On January 2, 1942, the Japanese occupied Manila. The American and Filipino defenders under MacArthur were unable to resist and retreated to Bataan. Later, in order to prevent MacArthur from becoming a prisoner, the United States ordered him to transfer command to Wainwright and go to Australia to serve as the commander of the Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific Theater, commanding the Allied forces in the region.
This document is a Japanese militarist element, concealing the Japanese emperor's secret attack plan with the Japanese base camp, the people of the year did not know these plans at all, and stupidly formed the Chinese expeditionary force helper countries, including Britain and France, small countries in Southeast Asia secretly helped the Japanese imperialists in Southeast Asia to plague the Chinese troops, including the British army deliberately leaked information to the Japanese devils, exposing the location of the national army, resulting in heavy losses for the expeditionary force.
Japan occupied Southeast Asia and plundered resources and waged war machines, but in Vietnam the monkey country thought that this was a rescue army to help them, including Burma also cooperated with the Japanese army, more than 1 million Burmese allied troops to the devil training, and then deal with the expeditionary force, in the later historical archives declassified found that the Burmese devil just did not recognize you...
The trajectory of time and space led to Japan's attack on Southeast Asia in advance, but the plot that should have happened also happened, not that Japan's high-level militarism beat Li Ming very badly in the north, and did not take any advantage, and now it is beginning to have ideas about the US military, and has been instigating the Japanese Emperor Hirohito, Yamamoto Isoroku, Okamura Ninji, and Motozhufan These militarists, since they fled back to Japan, began to plan a naval war against the Pacific Oceanγγγγγγγ
Your Majesty, since the Yankees don't give it to us, we will take it, their troops are vulnerable to our imperial warriors, if it succeeds, Your Majesty will give us these resources for free, it is better for them to surrender themselves, like Myitkyina.
Yo Xi, Yo Xi, these stupid pigs only deserve to eat shit, our Imperial Japanese Army will unify the world just around the corner, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperorγγγγγγγγ
I know that later in the diary of a Japanese veteran, I wrote how arrogant and ignorant the Japanese ** was, how bad the weather was in Myitkyina, the climate was hot, humid and most imperial soldiers could not adapt to the environment, and there were many sick non-combat attrition caused by the lack of adaptation, and with the increase in the occupation of the territory by Japanese imperialism, there was a shortage of soldiers, and even ** forcibly arrested batches of students, migrant workers, teachers, and dragged women in. The veteran recalled that this war may have been wrong from the beginning, and the wrong line ended up going down and losing its wayγγγγγγγ
War is the basis of politics, the fighting in Myitkyina continues, but the consulates of Japan and the United States, the Japanese and British, Japanese and French consuls are still going on, on the surface it seems to be fine, everything is calm, the war continues to fight, the two sides continue to exchange and negotiate, this is the rule, stop and stop, stop and stop, as the saying goes, there are no permanent friends, only interests.
This is true, for example, in modern history, the Chinese head of state called Ho Chi Minh of Vietnam a good brother and brother, and even made him independent, but as a result, everyone only knows that a monkey is a monkey, and if you give him a banana to eat, he will recognize you as the master, but when he is dying of hunger, after he has eaten enough, are you the master? When the power is big, throw the banana peel at us, and immediately turn its face, so the monkey must not let it run around, someone must manage it, this is a rule.
The above is a little personal opinion of my own monkey country, just look at the history... Hahaha desperate for support...
