Due to the strength of the Tang Empire, after the defeat of Japan, four countries were established in the Japanese archipelago, and the governments were formed by different parties in Japan itself. Under the intervention of the Tang Empire, the territories under the jurisdiction of the four governments were intertwined with each other, laying a hidden danger for Japan to fall into a long-term civil war in the future.

This was deliberately done by the Tang Empire, and thanks to Zhang Meng's proposal, a divided Japan was in the interests of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region.

After the end of Japanese rule, the Korean Peninsula was temporarily taken over by the Tang Army, and the regime was also divided into two parts, South Korea and North Korea, with the 38th parallel as the demarcation point. The leader of North Korea is the Jin family group that resists Japan in China all the year round, and has a high reputation on the Korean Peninsula, but it is a pity that Zhang Meng does not trust the Jin family, knowing that they will develop nuclear weapons in the future and threaten nuclear security in the Asia-Pacific region.

The father and son of the Jin family were very ambitious, and when they learned that the background of the Li family in South Korea was the Tang Empire, they were unwilling and wanted to seek the support of the comrades of the Federation of China, but they said that they would go all out to carry out economic construction and would not care about anything else.

As a result, the Kim family wanted dictatorship, so they could only set their sights on the Soviet Union and seek Stalin's help.

Stalin has always been angry about the Tang Empire's looting of millions of square kilometers of land in the Far East when it took advantage of the fire, although the Tang and the Soviet Union had signed a border treaty, and the Far East belonged to the Soviet Union that was sold to the Tang Empire, and it was impossible to go back on the investigation. But he couldn't swallow that breath, and as the Soviet Union became the shijie triumvirate, its economic and military power skyrocketed. After all-out confrontation with Europe and the United States, he was dissatisfied with the neutral attitude of the Tang Empire, did not want the Tang Empire to be a bystander, and wanted to muddy the waters of Asia.

The Soviet Union, seeking global hegemony, was frantically developing nuclear weapons at this time, and was no longer afraid of the nuclear blackmail of the Tang Empire, so Stalin decided to support the Jin family and his son. They wanted to establish a foothold of the Soviet army on the Korean Peninsula and establish naval and air bases, extending their tentacles to Asia.

The Soviet Union produced tens of thousands of tanks, artillery, airplanes during World War II. Millions of guns, these weapons and equipment quickly became obsolete after the war, and with the arms race of the United States, Tang and the Soviet Union, all kinds of advanced aircraft, tanks, artillery and guns were updated at an extremely rapid rate. These weapons and equipment, which were mass-produced by the Soviet Union during World War II, could not be used on their own. It's a pity to throw it away, but it can just be supported to the Jin family father and son.

In March 1949, the Soviet naval fleet visited North Korea for the first time, and formed 6 armored divisions, 10 mechanized infantry divisions, 20 infantry divisions, 3 artillery divisions, and 2 air divisions for the Kim Army. As a result, the strength of the North Korean military has increased dramatically, and it has an overwhelming advantage over South Korea.

In return. The Kim family and his son leased the port of Najin near Vladivostok in North Korea and the port of Donglin at the mouth of the Yalu River next to the Union China to the Soviet Navy, making the Soviet Navy directly facing the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea, posing a military threat to both the Tang Empire and the Federal China.

The Tang Empire strongly protested against this, and Zhang Meng talked to Stalin on the phone and had a big quarrel, but Stalin believed that he also had nuclear weapons and did not sell Zhang Meng's face, which made Zhang Meng very annoyed.

Zhang Meng would not wait for North Korea to launch a surprise attack on South Korea, so he urgently convened a royal council and ordered the Ministry of Defense to begin sending troops to South Korea's Jeju Island, an overseas military base for the Tang Army.

Cai Zhenghua said: "Your Highness, rest assured, not only does the Soviet Union have a large number of outdated weapons and equipment, but we also have a considerable number of weapons and equipment in Datang, and even if we retire weapons and equipment, they are much stronger than the Soviet army, and we can completely arm the South Korean army within three months." ”

Zhang Meng nodded and said: "Don't be careless, the Soviet Union has a lot of nuclear weapons, and we have not yet completed the national missile defense, so we can't push the Soviet Union into a hurry." In addition, we need to maintain a divided Korean Peninsula, so we don't want to expand the scale of the war. ”

"The minister understands!" Cai Zhenghua received the order and deployed immediately after going down.

The large-scale arms race between the Tang Dynasty and the United States and the Soviet Union has always been caused by the Tang Empire, which has taken advantage of the leading scientific and technological advantages not only in the nuclear arms race, but also in the conventional arms race, with second-generation jet aircraft, second-generation aircraft carriers, second-generation tanks, second-generation combat vehicles, second-generation submarines, first-generation helicopters, first-generation missiles, and so on. Even the United States was a little overwhelmed by the fact that it was too much to bear, not to mention that the Soviet Union was poorer after the war, and it was even more tired and panting to catch up.

The Tang Army's replacement of conventional weapons was extremely fast, even if most of the weapons and equipment eliminated were more advanced than those in service with the US and Soviet armies, not to mention that the Soviet Union's support to North Korea was only the weapons and equipment that were eliminated after World War II, which was not a grade at all.

South Korea's Li family also felt the military pressure and threat of North Korea, and hurriedly asked the Tang Empire for help, the two sides coincided, and the arms dealers of the Tang Empire also wanted to make money, so they immediately launched the Tang and South Korea arms procurement cooperation, and the 42-year version of the Tang Army's TM16 assault rifle was approved to be exported to South Korea to replace the AK47 assault rifle used in South Korea to prevent weapons and ammunition from financing the enemy during the war.

At the same time, 300 TZ42 armed helicopters, 500 second-generation Raptor interceptors, 500 "Tiger" 2A7+ main battle tanks, 100 Bobcat light tanks, 5,000 artillery pieces, 500 M2 heavy machine guns, 3 billion rounds of shells and bullets of various types were exported to South Korea, and there were other full sets of equipment for armored divisions and mechanized infantry divisions, from steel helmets to socks, all of which were made by Datang.

Such a huge military purchase order was sold to South Korea, but South Korea did not have so much money, so the Tang Empire lent money to South Korea, not only did the Tang arms dealers make a huge amount of money, but the Tang Empire also achieved the goal of further controlling South Korea economically.

These weapons and equipment were arranged by the South Korean army to form an army on its own, and the Tang Empire only sent instructors and jishu personnel to help, and the Tang Empire did not expect the South Korean army to be able to defeat the North Korean army, but purely to appease South Korea and make money.

The Tang Army increased its troops by 20,000 troops to the military base on Jeju Island, and the Far Eastern Military District also increased its troops by 50,000 troops in the direction of Vladivostok, putting pressure on North Korea to dare not act rashly.

However, the move did not frighten the Kim family, and soon the North Korean army stirred up trouble near the 38th parallel.

In the early morning of May 3, 1951, North Korea launched a sudden attack on South Korea, and 10,000 artillery pieces of various kinds opened fire fiercely, instantly turning the South Korean military position stationed near the 38th parallel into a sea of fire, and then more than 1,200 North Korean first-generation planes took to the air and destroyed the nearby South Korean army's airfield, and a large number of second-generation fighters of the South Korean army were destroyed on the runway before they could take off.

Immediately afterwards, the North Korean army of 2 million crossed the 38th parallel and broke into South Korea under the opening of more than 2,000 first-generation tanks, which caught the South Korean army by surprise and hundreds of thousands of troops were routed in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, Inchon fell, and the South Korean government moved directly to Jeju Island to seek protection from the Tang Empire.

On the same day, the Tang Empire presided over an emergency meeting of the United Nations and forcibly passed a resolution on military sanctions against North Korea under the condition that the Soviet Union voted against it, and the United States and Western countries were happy to see the Tang Empire and the Soviet Union working against each other, and they also expressed their willingness to send troops.

Subsequently, led by the Tang Empire, more than 30 countries including the United States, Britain, France, and China jointly formed a United Nations Army to go to the Korean Peninsula to participate in the war.

However, the United Nations forces were only a face-saving gesture that the Tang Empire had sold to Britain, France, the United States, and other countries in order to deter the Soviet Union, warn the Soviet Union that it was going to be an enemy of the whole country, and make it exercise restraint on the Korean issue.

In fact, Zhang Meng did not intend to involve the United Nations forces in the Korean War, and the entire Asia-Pacific region belonged to the Tang Empire, and foreign countries were not allowed to participate.

At the same time, the Tang Empire has reached a secret agreement with the Federation of China to jointly send troops to Korea, and the Northeast Theater Command of the Federation of China sent 300,000 troops to the Yalu River, and the Tang Far East Theater of Operations annexed Vladivostok, looking at the Soviet army of Luojin on the opposite side, so that it did not dare to act rashly.

On the other side, in the military base on Jeju Island, the Tang Army's four armored divisions and two mechanized infantry divisions were already ready to go, and at the same time, the four aircraft carrier battle groups of the Tang Empire's Pacific Fleet, which were conducting military exercises in the Pacific Ocean, quickly headed for the Yellow Sea, and more than 3,000 strategic bombers of the Tang Army's homeland roared and flew into the sky, aiming directly at North Korea.
