The Second World War will come as scheduled, after all, Fengtian is only stirring up trouble in Asia, and has not intervened in the situation in Europe, which will undoubtedly continue to run the same trajectory as before. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Tian made preparations for the Second World War in a step-by-step manner, and after building a large number of small and medium-sized ships, he began to build large warships.

In particular, the manufacture of new aircraft carriers, which is not much difficult for Fengtian, which is engaged in the manufacture of heavy industry, belongs to the old business.

Moreover, Fengtian transplanted the shipbuilding industry technology of later generations to its own shipyard and adopted a modular shipbuilding process, which greatly saved time. To put it simply, it is to divide a huge ship into several modules and build them separately, and finally combine them into a hull.

The standard of the new aircraft carrier surpasses this era, displacement: standard 61,170 tons, full load 81,700 tons, the main engine uses 4 steam turbines, 209,000KW, 4-shaft propulsion, and a speed of 32 knots. The cruising range is 4,000 nautical miles/30 knots, 12,000 nautical miles/20 knots.

Crew: 2,930 crews, including 155 officers; There are 2,480 aviation personnel, including 320 officers.

Hull: length 318.5 m, width 39.5 m, flight deck: length 326 m, width 76.8 m, draft: 10.8 m.

Armament: Equipped with 3 8-mounted "Exocet" ship-to-air missile launchers, 3 "Phalanx" melee weapon systems, 4 electronic countermeasure decoy launchers, and 1 "Mermaid" towed decoy.

Carrier-based aircraft: 80 aircraft are expected to be deployed. and configure navigation radar and fire control systems.

The power plant is 8 boilers, 4 steam turbines with propulsion power: 209,000 kilowatts, maximum speed: 30 knots.

The most important thing is that the new aircraft carrier is prepared for supersonic fighters, and no longer the old ones of the past. Moreover, missiles, a new type of weapon, have already been installed in combat sequences.

As a short-term defense strategy, the original two aircraft carriers are sufficient.

At this stage, these two aircraft carriers, as training ships, are training a large number of naval pilots for the Northland Volunteer Navy, and once the new aircraft carriers are installed, they will form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

Feng Tian's plan is to build six aircraft carrier formations, so he will use these two aircraft carrier formations to train six aircraft carrier formations of naval combatants in the next few years.

This is an ambitious plan, six aircraft carriers are being built at the same time, and such a scene is quite spectacular.

In fact, the manufacture of six aircraft carriers is similar to the manufacture of one, and the manufacture of the same type of warship in a set of drawings is just a simultaneous copy of every component, using more people and more materials.

Since it is a modular manufacturing process, it does not add much difficulty.

Although Feng Tian had just established a navy, the emergence of super-era weapons undoubtedly made Feng Tian invincible.

Although Feng Tian did not want to engage in a naval battle with the Japanese army during this time, he was not afraid of the attack of the Japanese navy, and the fighters taking off from the land airfield in Han Province were enough to destroy the threat of the Japanese naval fleet.

Of course, it is not Fengtian's will to start a war with the Japanese now, and Fengtian does not want to expose the equipment of the Beidi Volunteer Army missiles for the time being. Therefore, it is better not to go to war as a last resort.

At the beginning of the upcoming Second World War, Fengtian would not participate in the war.

Therefore, the Northland Volunteer Navy has enough time to prepare.

As a bystander, Feng Tian needs to do two things, the first is to make a fortune, make war money, and provide weapons, energy, and strategic materials for both sides of the war, whether on the side of the Allies or the Axis powers, as long as they want.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the other party is willing to use gold.

The second is to vigorously develop armaments and wait for the opportunity to strike. The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and Feng Tian wants to be the yellow finch, or rather, he hopes to become a fisherman.

After the Japanese army occupied the three countries of the Indochina Peninsula, it did not stop and continued to advance south and west.

The strategic order of the Japanese was to occupy Indochina first, then move closer to Malaysia, then invade Indonesia, and finally the Philippine Island.

This is because the invasion of the Philippines will inevitably anger the United States, and the two sides will inevitably become belligerents, and it will also affect the United States' provision of loans and strategic material support to the Japanese.

The Japanese were not sure how the United States would react to the capture of the British and French colonies by the Japanese army and whether it would cut off energy supplies.

For this reason, the Japanese have hoarded some resources, and as for whether the Americans will react violently, it will only be left to fate.

The Japanese also wanted to continue to obtain loans and strategic materials from the United States, and the more money and materials they could get at this stage, the better.

In Southeast Asia, the Japanese swept the French occupation forces southward, and after quickly occupying Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, the next target of the attack was Thailand.

Thailand's strategic position was very important: bordering Myanmar to the northwest and Malaya to the south, it was an advance base that the Japanese invaders had long coveted.

When the powerful Japanese army was massed on the border, the Thai government saw no hope of resisting the Japanese army.

As a result, the Thai government sent an appeal to London and Washington for help, hoping that they would provide weapons, including aircraft and ammunition.

However, both the United Kingdom and the United States said they could not afford to provide it.

The Japanese War Department authorized the Southern Commander, General Terauchi Toshiichi, to negotiate with the Thai authorities on all military issues concerning the entry of Japanese troops into Thailand, but the Thai Government refused.

On May 7, 1939, the Japanese ambassador to Bangkok, Sajiji Tsubogami, warned the Thai government that regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, Japanese troops would enter Thailand as planned.

At that time, the Thai prime minister was not in Bangkok, and his colleagues still expressed their unwillingness to accept the Japanese side's request despite the warnings of the Japanese ambassador.

As a result, the Japanese army really began to act.

On the morning of May 8, the Japanese 15th Army crossed the eastern border of Thailand from southern Indochina.

At dawn on 9 May, the advance force entered Bangkok.

Another Japanese army, advancing from the sea, also landed near Bangkok at dawn on the 8th.

In the face of a powerful Japanese attack, the Thai government was forced to agree to the Japanese demands.

On 21 May, the two sides signed a treaty of alliance.

The treaty stipulates that the two sides respect each other's sovereignty and independence, and that in the event of a conflict between either party and a third country, the other side shall provide comprehensive political, military and economic assistance.

In this way, Japanese imperialism tied Thailand to its chariot and brought untold disasters to the Thai people.

The Battle of Malaya was one of the most important battles in which the Japanese army invaded and occupied various parts of the South Seas, and the 25th Army, a strong Japanese army under the command of Lieutenant General Yamashita Fumi, was responsible for the land operation.

The 25th Army was originally composed of four divisions, but when the attack on Malaya began, three divisions, the 5th, 18th, and Guards, as well as 600 army and navy aircraft, participated in the landing battle.

Lieutenant General Yamashita Fumi's battle plan was to make a surprise attack and landing at New Kola and the First Division at Bataya and Kotabar on July 8.

When the landing was successful, the landing force, with the support of the air force, covered the follow-up troops ashore. Subsequently, Lieutenant General Yamashita followed the 5th Division and the 18th Division of the first landing force to the Malay Peninsula.

In the early morning of the 8th, the 1st Division of the Japanese 5th Division made a surprise landing in Songkhla and Pattani, the southernmost part of Thailand; The 1st Division of the 18th Division made a surprise landing at Kota Bharu, Malaya. After the 5th Division went ashore, it encountered almost no resistance and proceeded relatively smoothly; At Kota Bharu, the Japanese 18th Division encountered stubborn resistance from the British and for a time put the Japanese in a bitter battle.

On the same day, Vice Admiral Phillips, commander of the British Far East Fleet, learned of the Japanese attack, immediately convened an emergency operational meeting and resolved to personally lead the fleet in a counterattack.

The next day, Vice Admiral Phillips sailed out of Singapore with a task force consisting of two large battleships and four destroyers, ready to intercept the Japanese troop carriers.

At noon on the 10th, the battleships "Prince of Wales" and "Counterattack" were discovered by Japanese planes about 40 miles east of Kuantan.

Subsequently, a naval assault began.

Japanese bombers and torpedo planes that took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier flew one after another over the head of the Far East Fleet and attacked the Far East Fleet of the British Empire in turn.

The Prince of Wales, the main force of the British Empire's Far East fleet, was equipped with 175 anti-aircraft guns and could fire 60,000 shells per minute, but it could not stop the accurate dive of the Japanese torpedo planes.

The Far East Fleet of the British Empire represents traditional naval warfare, and the Japanese aircraft carrier formation represents the new tactics of modern naval warfare, and at 12:23, the 26,500-ton "Counterattack" was hit by a torpedo and sank. At 1:20 p.m., the Prince of Wales, known as the "unsinkable ship of the Royal Navy", suffered the same fate.

The era of battleships came to an end, the commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Phillips, along with 870 officers and men, was killed, while the Japanese lost only 3 aircraft.

In this naval battle in the East, the collapse of the British Far East Fleet had a great impact on the British army. The next day, newspapers in Singapore published a black-framed photo of the Prince of Wales in mourning.

When the British Prime Minister heard the Secretary of the Admiralty's report, he was extremely sad and sighed that "he has never suffered such a big blow."

The British Chief of Staff, General Brooke, summed up this tremendous loss in his diary as follows: "This means that we have lost our sea supremacy from Africa eastward through the Indian and Pacific Oceans to the Americas. ”

This naval battle had a profound impact on the subsequent naval battles. Because it announced that the era of large ships and huge guns dominating the seas dominated by battleships is gone forever.

The victory in the naval battle enabled the Japanese army to successfully establish an air base in Malaya, grasp air supremacy, and effectively support the army's operations.

Under the cover of air superiority, the Japanese army quickly advanced from north to south along the Malay Peninsula.

The 25th Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Yamashita Fumi, took control of the southern part of the Malay Peninsula in one fell swoop.

At this time, Lieutenant General Yamashita was still not very satisfied with the results of his subordinates.

Therefore, he arranged the 5th Division on the main road and the Guards Division on the west coast, and adopted the tactics of echoing the 18th Division from the east bank and accelerating the pursuit. This method of warfare is called "electric drill warfare" by Yamashita .

On August 11, 1939, the Japanese 5th Division stormed Kuala Lumpur.

On 30 August, British forces on the east and west shores of the Malay Peninsula retreated to the southern tip of the peninsula.

On the 31st, all British troops retreated to Singapore.

In this way, the Japanese army occupied Malaya in just over a month.

Because of this battle, Lieutenant General Yamashita received the nickname "Malay Tiger".

On 8 September, after several days of thorough preparations, Yamashita finally gave the order to attack Singapore.

That night, the Japanese 5th and 18th Divisions began to cross the river at the same time and engaged in fierce battles with the British on the riverbank.

On the 9th, the Japanese army entered the Tianluo airfield.

On the night of the 9th, near the Krankey River on both sides of the aqueduct bridge, the Guards Division also landed successfully.

At this point, the Guards Division of the 25th Army attacked from the north, the 5th Division from the west, and the 18th Division from the right flank of the 5th Division along the south bank and from three fronts towards the center of the island.

On the 10th, the troops under the mountain had advanced to the heights of Bukitima.

The Burkitema Heights were the highest in Singapore, and if captured, the island would be enough to kill the whole island, and the British commander, General Percibal, was determined to fight the Japanese army to the end.

Fierce battles on the heights of Bukitima, including white-knuckle battles, continued until the next day.

The British commander, General Percibal, fought to the death, which did make the Japanese army suffer, and the Guards Division finally forced the high ground from the eastern slope of the water source, and finally captured the Bukitema Heights, but the 25th Army was also heavily damaged.

On October 15, under the powerful Japanese offensive, General Parsibal was forced to surrender unconditionally due to lack of water and shells.

In this battle, the Japanese and British each suffered 10,000 casualties.

Of the 138,708 defenders of the British Empire, 100,000 were captured.

In this way, the "Gibraltar of the East," which Britain had painstakingly operated for 20 years, and Singapore, the world's famous fourth-largest military port, fell into the hands of the Japanese army, and the gateway to the Indian Ocean was opened.

The former empire on which the sun never sets has been going downhill, whether they admit it or not, the Japanese and Japanese countries, which were originally inconspicuous, rode on their heads and, one can imagine how helpless the British Empire is.

During the Japanese invasion of Malay, the British, who had already gotten along well with the Northland Volunteers, once again approached the Northland Volunteers and asked the Northland Volunteers on the Himalayan South Road to intervene.

Paralyzed, the British Empire is thinking about good things, do you think Feng Tian is a fool?

Just kidding, Lao Tzu is thinking about watching the excitement, but your British Empire wants to pull me into this troubled water, let's play, Lao Tzu doesn't do such stupid things!

Feng Tian did not hesitate at all, and asked Gu Weijun to refuse the request of the British Empire.

Gu Weijun is an expert in foreign affairs, and he will definitely not be as reckless as Feng Tian, and the wording he uses is very diplomatic, and he also achieves the purpose of refusal.
