Chapter 464: Mediterranean Situation (21)
What the British are thinking, Cheng Gong knows what he wants. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that the Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar are too fat and delicious. Even if he knew that it was poisonous, Cheng Gong would swallow it without hesitation.
People are tigers, and tigers are also people.
Qiu Fatzi would never have thought that Emperor Cheng had decided to collude with Hitler, gather the strength of the three major fleets of the Royal Navy of Donghua, the Mediterranean Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet, and cooperate with the German Navy's High Seas Fleet and Atlantic Fleet to completely wipe out the British Navy in one fell swoop.
Don't look at the fact that Britain is now being beaten by Germany and can only parry and has no power to fight back, and its overseas colonies have also lost 8/9 out of ten. But Cheng Gong was even more wary of Britain than Japan.
In Cheng Gong's view, without the instigation and connivance of the British government and the royal family and consortium family behind it, Little Japan would never have been able to challenge the Tianwei of China.
If you really want to talk about the source of the disasters in the modern century of China, the number one culprit is none other than Britain!
As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
The Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran had seriously damaged British interests in Asia. Coupled with the irreconcilable contradictions between communism and capitalism, when Donghua and Germany joined forces to attack Britain proper, inducing the Soviet Union to continue to extend its hand to the Indian subcontinent, it would definitely be possible to sprinkle salt and pepper on the bloody wounds of the British Empire!
There is no need for Britain to pull back, to establish an EU organization headed by Germany in Europe, and to fight against the Soviet Union's red expansion of Europe after the war.
As for whether India will be torn apart by the national independence and liberation movement, Cheng Gong basically chose to ignore it.
With Churchill's resolute and tough personality, as long as he became British Prime Minister for one day, he would never bow down to Hitler. Moreover, as the pride of the former empire on which the sun never sets, it will not allow the British Empire to sign the defeat agreement.
Therefore, Britain was destined to fight Germany to the end.
With the accumulation of more than 100 years of history of the Industrial Revolution, the depth of the British Empire is definitely not as weak as it seems on the surface. Even if industrial powers such as Germany and the United States lag behind in terms of national industrial strength, Britain's industrial technology and industrial worker ranks are still enough to ensure that it can firmly rank among the world's industrial powers.
Modern warfare is fought on the country's overall industrial strength. As long as Britain's national industrial system does not collapse, Britain will be able to continue the war.
No matter how the "wolf pack" of the German Navy fought against the British mainland, the British Royal Navy, with its world's largest strength, could still ensure the continuous supply of industrial materials imported by Britain from the Indian subcontinent.
If the British Royal Navy's home fleet could not be solved, Germany would not be able to cross the English Channel and deal a complete blow to the British Empire, even if it defeated the Soviet Union.
On the North American battlefield, Japan has also now reached the tipping point of its strategic limits.
Hoover saw from Chiang Baili's "On National Defense" what was the key to the victory of the United States in defeating the Japanese aggressors. The size of the United States is enough for the United States to trade space for time. The industrial essence of the eastern region of the United States can also ensure that the United States will not be short of guns and ammunition in the War of Resistance against Japan.
Regardless of the fact that Japan now occupies large swathes of territory and factories in the western United States, there are not many American residents in these occupied areas. Because the U.S. government headed by Hoover has profoundly comprehended the essence of Chinese wisdom that "people and land are saved, people and land are saved, and people and people are lost".
Not only did the U.S. military not allow the U.S. military to fight a war of attrition with the Japanese army, but it also evacuated the vast majority of workers and moved them to the east.
As the United States entered the stalemate stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the United States' powerful industrial production capacity also began to blow out.
The only way for little Japan to secure its strategic superiority on the North American continent was to increase its troops and emigrate.
The large number of factories seized by the Japanese army in Canada, as well as the various factories lost in the western United States, required Japan to mobilize a large number of workers from the mainland and the Japanese-occupied areas of Southeast Asia to restore production, so as to ensure the logistics supply of the Japanese expeditionary force in the North American theater.
It was on the basis of this situation that the Japanese North American Expeditionary Force had to stop its sharp forces on the west bank of the Mississippi River. Even if they knew that this move would allow the defeated US-Canadian forces to survive, they could only follow the orders of the Tokyo base camp.
Both Japan and the United States need time. Now the competition between the two countries is who can train a large number of industrial workers to operate various machines and machine tools in the shortest possible time.
It has to be said that Japan, which was not mired in the quagmire of the Chinese War, was not at all inferior to Germany's invincibility in Europe on the surface of the North American battlefield.
Seeing that Japan was moving a large number of immigrants from within its country to Canada, and a new Japan was taking shape on the North American continent, Cheng Gong did not stumble.
Only by allowing the Japanese and Americans to forge an irresolvable blood feud, coupled with irreconcilable racial contradictions between black and white people in North America, the North American continent will be at peace forever from now on.
Since Cheng Gong intends to turn Africa into a harmonious Africa, the most unstable and turbulent region in the world can only be North America!
Let the black people, who have been oppressed and exploited for hundreds of years, launch a comprehensive challenge and reckoning with the white world, Cheng Gong feels that the world will become more interesting.
The great military strength displayed by Germany and Japan really frightened Stalin.
Before the war, the Soviet Union was most worried about Germany and Japan joining forces to attack the Soviet Union from east to west. Even though the Soviet Union had signed non-aggression pacties with Germany and Japan, Stalin never relaxed his vigilance against Germany and Japan.
Stalin's greatest fear now is that after Japan stabilized the situation in the North American theater, it would turn Canada and the western United States into Japan's war industrial base. With the semblance of the hubris of the Japanese, their greedy coveting of the Soviet Far East and Siberia would certainly not have died of thieves.
No country thinks its territory is too big.
If Britain and the United States were defeated by Germany and Japan, the Soviet Union would certainly face the danger of being caught between Germany and Japan.
The only way to defuse this crisis of annihilation was to persuade the Donghua Empire to join the Allied camp and declare war on Germany and Japan. And this is the main reason why Stalin took the initiative to come out of Nairobi to meet with Cheng Gong this time.
As for Stalin's thoughts, Cheng Gong naturally knew it.
The fundamental purpose of the so-called military conflict in the Arabian Sea between the East Soviet Navy and the Soviet Union was nothing more than Cheng Gong's desire to use this as an opportunity to beat Stalin.
The Soviet military operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran were so smooth that Cheng Gong felt the need to appropriately block the Soviet Union.
The Middle East and the Persian Gulf region can only be the sphere of influence of the Great Donghua Empire in the future, no matter if a country wants to put its hand in, Cheng Gong will definitely reach out and cut off his hands, stretch out his feet and cut off his feet, and stretch out his head to cut off his head!
As a qualified international politician, Emperor Cheng certainly knew that it was far easier to support proxies against other countries' forces than to go into battle shirtless. Moreover, this can also ensure that the Great Donghua Empire will continue to hold high the banner of maintaining world peace and stability in the international community, and play the role of peace ambassador to the end.
