The details of the naval battle in the Indian Ocean were introduced to the military attachés, ambassadors and Italian envoys by a naval colonel from the General Staff, and the report in his hand was directly summarized from the encrypted telegram sent back by the Chinese naval task force still cruising the Bay of Bengal.

According to the content of this war report, in that naval battle, the British Royal Navy's battleships "Royal Oak" and "Rodney" were the first to sink, followed by the British Royal Navy's new aircraft carrier "Ark Royal", which had just been built and put into service for less than half a year, and in the subsequent supplementary attack, the British Royal Navy's heavy cruisers "Exeter" and "Cumberland", and light cruisers "Ajak" and "Egilis" were also fatally attacked. They sank or ran aground on the way to India, while none of the combat ships of the Chinese Navy's task force sank, but they lost some combat aircraft and pilots.

There is no doubt that, according to this war report, the British Indian Ocean Squadron has been devastated, after this naval battle, the balance of naval forces in the Indian Ocean will be fundamentally changed, and the whole world situation will also change drastically, and more importantly, in the eyes of the military attachés of various countries, the results of this naval battle show that aircraft carriers and naval aviation will play a vital role in future naval conflicts, perhaps battleships should really withdraw from the stage of history.

The governments of Japan, Germany, and Italy are all strongly looking forward to drastic changes in the world situation, and in the view of these military attaches and ambassadors who listened to the war reports, perhaps now is the best time for all countries to "seize the initiative" and to take advantage of this opportunity to redefine the way in which world interests are distributed and the rules of the game.

According to him, this was a paraphrase of the Italian leader Benito Mussolini, and this statement was unanimously endorsed by the German and Japanese ambassadors and military attaches present, who looked at the Chinese president, Mr. President, only to find that he was only listening quietly and did not express his opinion on the statement of this "common enemy."

"Mr. President, in your opinion, if China, Japan, Germany, and Italy can unite, will it be possible to put an end to the current irrational status quo of international distribution of interests in one fell swoop?"

Perhaps seeing that Mr. President was a little inscrutable, Mr. Ziano began to talk about the issue of the four-nation alliance in a roundabout way, and his words were very explicit and very beautiful, which made the ambassadors and military attaches of all countries present pricked up their ears and eagerly wanted to hear what Mr. President's position was.

"If these four countries are united, I am afraid that what will follow is a worldwide war. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for this global conflict? ”

According to his "historical experience", the heads of state and governments of Japan, Germany, and Italy do not exclude a war to resolve the political and economic crisis, but Zhao Bei is also very clear that the "Second World War" is not what the governments of these three countries really want. The countries with vested interests, especially the United States, would not risk all-out war against them, but it turned out that they were wrong, so Nazi Germany had to face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts again, and the Japanese Empire was also caught in a so-called "ABCD encirclement" from which it was difficult to break free, and even the self-confident Italian "leader" was abandoned by the king and the people, and finally hung his body in the streets, becoming a clown who mocked history.

It is worth mentioning that Mussolini was later overthrown by a coup d'état, which included his son-in-law, the Italian Foreign Minister Count Ciano, and later he also paid the price of his life for this "betrayal".

It doesn't matter whether Ziano is a staunch main fighter or not, the important thing is that Zhao Bei really needs a world war now, but this world war must break out according to his will, and it can no longer run according to the trajectory of history.

History has eloquently proved that in the face of defending their own interests, no one and no country will remain calm, the reason why Zhao Bei was in a hurry to provoke the Sino-British war this time was to rush to take the lead before the outbreak of the world war, and deliberately carried a banner of "liberating Asia", in order to occupy the commanding heights morally, and then, he was eagerly waiting for the world situation to take a sharp turn for the worse, and now, he needed the outbreak of World War II ahead of schedule.

This is Zhao Bei's current strategy, on the one hand, to distance himself from Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, to militaristic Japan, but on the other hand, he needs these belligerent countries to share the pressure of war with him, so that they can serve as cannon fodder for China in a sense.

The war between China and Britain is a "war for the liberation of Asia", at least in Asia, this war provoked by China occupies the commanding heights morally, and at this time, if Germany, Italy, and Japan also start a war, no matter what their slogans and excuses are, China has already made its position clear in advance, that is, "liberate Asia" and "smash the colonial yoke", then, if Germany, Italy and Japan also launch a war under the pretext of "smashing the colonial yoke" and "liberating the colony", they are parroting, If Germany, Italy, and Japan do not use this as an excuse, then even if they are defeated in the future, China will have severed its ties with the wars of aggression launched by these countries, and no one will dare to point fingers at this in the future, which will be conducive to the further development and implementation of the national strategy.

If the French government finally decides to stand on the side of the British government to declare war on China, then swallow France's sphere of influence in Southeast Asia, if the forces at hand are insufficient, it may be able to pull Japan in when attacking France, but there must be a premise, that is, Japan cannot implement direct military colonial rule over the former French colonies, but can only obtain benefits through economic means.

If Japan also joins the war, then Europe should also fall into the war as soon as possible, which requires the assistance of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, as long as the European war breaks out, the resistance of Britain and France in Asia will be quickly collapsed, at that time, China will restore the "neutral" situation in due course, and at the same time begin to receive the Asian heritage left by Britain and France, and seriously manage it, if possible, China will also use the war in Europe to obtain war dividends, and even share the fruits of victory after the war.

This is Zhao Bei's "Asia Strategy", and the war against Britain is precisely to serve this strategy, which is also directly related to China's global strategy and is a key step in determining China's role in the world in the coming years.

However, strategic conception and strategic implementation are not exactly the same thing, and the international situation is changing at any time. How did the French government choose a side in the ensuing Sino-British war? Will the Japanese government heed the advice of the Chinese government and not touch Australia during the Sino-British War? …… All this is unknown, and it requires Zhao Bei's cautious deployment strategy and careful action.

Yesterday afternoon, when Zhao Bei was rejoicing at the task force's defeat of the British Indian Ocean Squadron, the US ambassador to China handed over a diplomatic memorandum to the Department of Foreign Affairs, and according to the content of this diplomatic memorandum with "not very euphemistic" wording, the US Government was very shocked by the British Navy's defeat in the northern waters of the Indian Ocean, and in the face of a Sino-British war that was likely to be "another * disaster" type, the US Government was determined to pull Britain along, so it reminded the Chinese Government that on the issue of Southeast Asia, the US Government " also has a considerable say", and again put forward a proposal for good offices.

What exactly does this diplomatic memorandum from the U.S. government mean? Zhao Bei is a little worried, he is not worried about what trade sanctions or raw material embargo the United States imposes, China is not the "historical" Japan in this regard, this trick does not work for China, Zhao Bei is really worried about the US fleet deployed in the Pacific.

At present, the balance of naval power in the Pacific Ocean is very delicate, and the strength of the Japanese Navy exceeds the strength of the US Pacific Fleet, but because Japan already has a large number of colonies and spheres of influence in the South Seas, and has sufficient supplies of oil, tin ore, rubber, and iron ore from the South Seas, and does not have to painstakingly manage the East Asian continent, Japan's industry and agriculture are no longer as heavily dependent on the supply of the United States and Europe as they were in the "past". This is also an unknown, and it is a variable, and Zhao Bei's strategy must also take this into account.

More importantly, Europe has not yet started a war, although European countries are very worried about the momentum of German expansion, but as long as Germany's armored forces do not cross the German-Polish, German-French border for a day, then the European powers still have the strength to support the position of Britain, France, and the United States, and more importantly, because of Zhao Bei's intervention in history, the Soviet Union has signed a mutual defense treaty with Britain and France in this plane of time and space, and now the governments of Poland and Czechoslovakia are also seeking to join this mutual defense treaty. In this way, will Germany still have the courage to attack first? If Germany does not do anything, when will Italy add fuel to the war in Europe?

……

This is the international situation that Zhao Bei must face now, this situation is far more complicated than the situation in "history", Zhao Bei must take bold steps in caution, instigate a global conflict, and strive to ignite the flames of World War II in advance to serve his strategy.

If this conspiracy is successful, then the "Munich Conspiracy" that occurred in Europe not long ago is nothing, and perhaps this conspiracy can be called a "house conspiracy." v
