Chapter 43, Killing Monkeys and Respecting Chickens

Tokyo

The Japanese government was about to cry, and the British suddenly surrendered, and there was no desperate resistance at all, which was undoubtedly pitting their teammates.

Three months ago, in order to control the South Seas, the Japanese South Sea Front sent troops to occupy the Strait of Malacca, and the Japanese-Dutch War broke out.

Bulgaria was too busy with the British to declare war on them, but the Holy Alliance imposed the harshest sanctions, and all trade between Japan and the Western world was cut off.

The Dutch, who knew that they could not win the war, were also very disgraceful, and they blew up the mines and oil fields themselves, and they could not recover in a year and a half, and the Japanese army's plan to obtain oil from the South Seas was shattered.

As soon as the war in Europe ended, Bulgaria's eyes were about to enter Asia. There is no doubt that they are the targets of repression.

Without waiting for the results of their discussions, the Holy Alliance issued the Far East Proclamation, which directly delineated the scope of Japan's legal sovereignty and responsible the Japanese government to withdraw from all illegally occupied land.

With Ferdinand's personal intervention, the content of this announcement was naturally very harsh to the Japanese government, and it can be said that it once returned to a hundred years ago.

Japan's sovereignty over all islands, including Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, with the exception of Honshu, must be reviewed by the United Nations, which will soon be established, before it can be determined whether sovereignty belongs to Japan.

All the overseas colonies were illegally gained, and the Japanese government was ordered to hand them over immediately and return all the goods to their original owners.

The sky-high asking price, landing to pay back.

As soon as the news spread, the Japanese were furious, and under the temptation of the British, the Nanyang Front, led by the Japanese radicals, did another stupid thing, and on January 7, 1940, the Japanese army attacked the Philippine Islands.

This was similar to the consequences of the attack on Pearl Harbor, in which Bulgaria, which had only been exerting political pressure outside the chessboard, was dragged into the war.

Militarily speaking, the Japanese did the right thing, the location of the Philippine Islands blocked their connection with the South Seas, and everyone was fighting the British before, so this kind of problem naturally did not exist.

Since the release of the "Far East Proclamation", the Japanese military has known that the time has come to turn the other cheek with the Holy Alliance, and how can it not pay the price for embezzling so many interests of others in the war?

After the surprise attack on the Philippine Islands, the Japanese government had no choice but to turn into an alliance with the British, and the war between the two sides was going on and ended.

It is very vividly explained to the outside world what is: "There are only eternal interests, there are no eternal enemies"!

The British colonies, which threatened Japan's strategic security, were destroyed, and the Australian Dominion also fell, and the Anglo-Japanese contradictions were only hatred.

In order to meet the needs of the war, the British government decisively reconciled with the Japanese and jointly faced the military threat of the Holy Alliance.

If the pan-international front wins the war, or perhaps a draw, then this wave of maneuvers by the Tokyo government can be written into the history of diplomacy and become the most successful diplomatic case of this century.

It is a pity that there is no what if, and soon after joining the Pan-International Front, the British Commonwealth, as the hegemon, surrendered.

This can be regarded as the last wave of John Bull's classic diplomatic operation, which successfully killed the Japanese and avenged the Japanese for their invasion of the South Seas.

Without their efforts, it is estimated that the Japanese government would still have to bargain, and it would not have been possible to attack the Philippine Islands so extreme and jump onto the broken ship of the pan-international front.

You must know that the Japanese government was only fooled by the British into boarding the ship in January 1941, but the British surrendered in March.

There is even speculation that the British government had a secret treaty with Bulgaria, and in order not to be liquidated after the war, it cheated the Japanese.

Judging from the post-war treatment of Britain, this statement is very marketable, whether it is war reparations or the liquidation of war criminals, Bulgaria has not put forward harsh conditions, and even the mainland has not been drastically reduced.

The British were not the only ones who died? There are so many allies of the pan-international front, and this time they have all been pitted, don't want it.

Why don't you give some reaction time so that everyone has time to change jobs? They are not Italian, they don't have such a fast nervous reaction rate.

In other words, is it too late to quit the pan-international front and join the Holy Alliance?

The answer is no!

The countries of the Americas are separated by oceans, and the Holy Alliance will indeed not be able to fight for a while, but this time is only a few months at most.

Militarily, it is impossible to win, so the best way is naturally to surrender conditionally, and the Holy Alliance needs the name of the victorious country, and this must be satisfied.

They can completely package themselves, saying that they were coerced by the British, hand over a few scapegoats, and pay a war reparation, even if they understand.

Unless they became the chickens in the monkey slaughter, it would not have been possible for Bulgaria to cross the sea to liquidate these little trash fish under normal circumstances.

"Father, why do you have to drag the Japanese into the war? If the conditions in the Far Eastern Proclamation had been a little more relaxed, they would not have taken risks! Ferdinand Jr. asked suspiciously

In his mind, Ferdinand was great, he could take one step at a time and see three steps no matter what he did, and he would not do things that didn't make sense.

"Killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys, how can there be a deterrent effect of killing monkeys and setting an example for chickens?" Ferdinand said with a smile

Looking at the map, little Ferdinand made up his own mind. In his view, taking Japan as a knife is not only to deter countries in the Americas, but also to show several allies.

It doesn't matter what Ferdinand really thinks, Bulgaria can fight Japan, and naturally it can attack the countries of the Americas, and everyone will be at peace for decades to come.

"But father, the cost of the cross-sea expedition is not small, and the income from the Nanyang region may not be enough to make up for the war expenses, and everyone may not be too active in this war!" Ferdinand Jr. said with a frown

"The weapons are made to be used, when the Japanese Navy is assembled, give them a moment, and the battle will be easy to fight later!" Ferdinand said indifferently

The power of the nuclear bomb is too great, and if it were dropped on a populous city, the aftermath would be quite serious and would be criticized for decades to come, but if it was used on the enemy's army, it would not matter.

War always kills people, no matter what weapon is used, and the Japanese army is now using poison gas bombs on a large scale.

If it had not been for Bulgaria's military assistance, I am afraid that the allies in the Far East would have been unable to stop it.

"This is a good solution, it was originally intended for the Royal Navy, but the British coaxed it, and now it should be the Japanese who are unlucky!" Little Ferdinand said with a smile

If you let go of the use of nuclear bombs, the cost of this war can be controlled, and the main force of the Japanese Navy will be killed.

Without a naval tandem, the overseas colonies occupied by the Japanese would be isolated islands, and the first place could not take care of each other.

Moreover, Japan is still a resource-poor island nation, and as long as the supplies from these colonies cannot be shipped back to China, it will not be long before they collapse on their own.

……

Although the British surrendered, the coalition formed by the Holy Alliance did not disband, and directly turned around and went to the Far East to find the bad luck of the Japanese.

Together with the captured British Royal Fleet, the superiority of the Holy Alliance Navy at this time was impossible for the Japanese to catch up with in any case.

The coalition forces directly divided into two routes, one from the Indian Ocean and the other from the Pacific, killing the past with great momentum.

On June 15, 1941, the Japanese Navy, which was preparing to break through one by one, was lured out of the mainland and went to Midway Island to ambush the Pacific Fleet's partial division.

"General, the enemy has our eighth-story capital ship in this detachment in the Pacific Ocean alone, and I'm afraid this battle will not be easy to fight!" Yunzhong Temple said worriedly

Yamamoto Fifty-six shook his head and said: "Yun Zhongjun, I know what you are worried about, there is still a certain gap between us and the European powers in terms of naval shipbuilding technology, and the enemy's capital ship is only eight layers of ours, but the combat effectiveness is not necessarily much worse than ours!"

But you forgot that there is an old saying in the East, the arrogant army will be defeated! At this time, the enemy army was still indulging in the joy of victory over the British, thinking that we were vulnerable.

Otherwise, if they wait a few more months to digest the British naval fleet and then attack, then we will really be powerless! ”

As the most outstanding admiral of the Japanese Navy in World War II history, Yamamoto 56 has long recognized the difference in strength between the two sides.

Don't look at him as if he is winning, in fact, Yamamoto Isoroku is not optimistic about the prospects of this war, so what if he wins this battle?

If the Holy Alliance loses, they can't afford to lose. For every warship built in Japan, the Holy Alliance could build ten, if not more, warships.

Unless it can occupy Southeast Asia before the coordination within the Holy Alliance is completed, leaving no foothold for the enemy, then the Japanese government will have a chance of victory.

"Enemy attack!"

The alarm sounded, and a group of enemy fighters suddenly appeared in the sky, heading towards the location of the fleet.

"Intercept immediately!"

Yamamoto Fifty-six said calmly.

The air battle soon broke out, and the strange thing was that the enemy planes were circling at an altitude of several thousand meters, and there was no intention of coming down to dive and bomb.

Many bombs fell from the sky, and the error distance was often hundreds of meters, and the enemy was not seen to lower the altitude.

"Ready, Jack Bomb!"

"Okay, Tom!"

The door of the plane opened, and a bomb fell from the sky, and at the same time as the bomb was dropped, the Holy Alliance fighters in the sky also began to get rid of the enemy and leave.

This time was very short, so short that the Japanese army did not react at all, a mushroom cloud rose, and then there was no more.

In addition to these Japanese fighters in the sky who were chasing the enemy, the Japanese naval fleet below has become history.

Although many warships have survived, no one can use them after the nuclear radiation, and even many Japanese fighters in the sky have been affected.

They had not done any radiation protection treatment, and many of the Japanese pilots inside the planes had become blind and deaf, and even the Bulgarian fighter group, which had been prepared for a long time, had been unlucky.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Bulgarian fighters in the sky pulled their legs and ran, such a devilish weapon, no wonder before taking off, the commander repeatedly emphasized that in order to use weapons of mass destruction, it is necessary to keep a sufficient distance, and it is better to stay away from it now.

The Japanese fighters staying in mid-air are no longer in charge, anyway, the big fish are in the vast sea, and they can go wherever they like.
