Cheng Gong was immersed in the development of the second-generation fighters of the Great Air Force of the Donghua Empire, and the first-generation jet fighters of Germany, Japan, the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom also began to appear in the European and Asian theaters.

During this period, Hirohito and Hitler frequently sent special envoys to negotiate, and the core of the discussion was whether the Japanese army should give up the Chinese battlefield, when to give up, and how to give up.

The strong industrial capacity of the Donghua Empire, coupled with the world's most powerful scientific and technological development level in Donghua, made Hitler and Hirohito more and more afraid of Cheng Gong.

If it could not cut off China's foreign aid, the Japanese army would inevitably fall deeper and deeper into the Chinese battlefield.

As the Chinese people's call for declaring war on Japan became stronger and stronger, batch after batch of Chinese hot-blooded men threw themselves into the anti-Japanese battlefield, and the Chinese army became stronger and stronger, and the number of troops became more and more. Once the Huaxia army begins to launch a strategic counterattack against the Japanese army, Japan wants to negotiate peace with the Chinese again, but I am afraid that the price to be paid will definitely not be light.

Faced with such a grim situation, Hirohito had to calm down and re-examine Japan's China strategy.

Whether it is the Kwantung Army or the Southern Dispatch Army, the current battle losses and consumption of war materials have far exceeded the war costs when the Japanese army swept the British and French armies in the Southeast Asian theater. However, the benefits are almost nil. On the contrary, Japan has completely angered the Chinese military and civilians this time, which has made Japan lose even more points strategically.

The pay and the gain are seriously disproportionate, and if such a war continues, Hirohito even feels that he will despise himself deeply.

Kenji Dohihara, the biggest spy leader in the Japanese intelligence community, left a suicide note before committing suicide by seppuku to apologize for his crimes, making it clear that the fundamental reason why the empire lost one after another in the Chinese battlefield was that the Chinese army could accurately obtain the deployment and mobilization of Japanese troops every time. If we can't uncover the spy network hidden deep in Japan's top level, the empire will lose this war more and more.

Kenji Dohihara's dying words were approved by senior military generals such as Ishihara Wanji and Yamamoto Isoroku. They all believed that the Empire's top priority was not to defeat the Chinese army, but to counter-espionage and dig out all those spy agents lurking in Japan.

It's a pity that the invisible spy network that Kenji Dohihara suspects about lurking in the top echelons of the Japanese military and government does not exist at all. Although the "suppression" campaign launched by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs also caught some spies, it made everyone in the Japanese military feel that they were in danger, their trust dropped sharply, and the morale and morale of the military became more and more depressed.

On March 20, 1941, Japan and China reached a temporary armistice agreement between the two countries, under which the two sides set up a non-military buffer zone between the two countries and their military defense zones with the existing defense lines of their respective armies as the boundary.

It was from this day that the new concept of "peacekeeping forces" began to circulate around the world.

The sudden truce between Japan and China was, of course, a great deal of trouble for the British government.

Although the Battle of Britain caused Britain to be bloodied by Germany, Churchill resolutely refused to admit defeat.

While constantly calling on the British people to unite in resisting the German fascist aggression, Churchill frequently contacted and consulted with the new US President Edgar Hoover to comprehensively and profoundly analyze the war crisis that the United States would face after Britain's defeat in World War II.

With Hoover's usual strength, he certainly would not allow the Philippines, America's only colony, to be lost during his presidency. To this end, Hoover constantly transferred the main force of the US Pacific Fleet to the Philippines, and at the same time ordered the US Army and the newly established US Air Force to expand their forces in a big way.

By the end of March 1941, the United States had invested more than 300,000 US troops in the Philippines, organized 500,000 Philippine servants, 1,200 combat aircraft, and 115 warships of various types, and expanded Clark Air Base and Cavite Naval Base on a large scale, posing a serious threat to Japan's southern dispatch forces and Japan's mainland security.

It can be said that the large-scale increase of US troops in the Philippines is also another important reason for the armistice between Japan and China.

On the other hand, after the Soviet Red Army occupied Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, Hitler also became deeply wary of communist expansion in the Persian Gulf region of Western Asia.

Stalin took advantage of Germany's attack on Britain and easily seized British colonies in Central and West Asia, which of course made Hitler extremely unhappy.

The Germans fought desperately in the English Channel, but the Soviet Red Army reaped the fruits of victory in the back. Although everyone was dealing with the common enemy of Britain, in Hitler's mind, Germany and the Soviet Union could not be friends, but only enemies.

The Soviet Union could fight Britain, but it was absolutely intolerable to Hitler to get involved in the dividends of the war that belonged to Germany.

With the invasion of Iran by the Soviet Red Army, Turkey, which has been openly declaring its neutrality to the outside world, has become somewhat unbreathing.

In the event that the Soviet Red Army attacked Turkey, what kind of foreign policy should Turkey adopt? Will it join the Allies, or will it join the Axis? Or did you simply take the initiative to turn to the Donghua Empire and ask to join the Paradise Island Cooperation Organization?

When Italy declared war on France, the British government demanded that Turkey sever diplomatic relations with Italy and provide various facilities for the Anglo-French forces to close the Black Sea straits and prohibit the passage of Axis ships from there, but Turkish Foreign Minister Sarajolu politely refused.

As tensions in Europe have grown, the Turkish government's foreign policy has become increasingly cautious. After the defeat of France, British Foreign Secretary Eden pinched his nose and pretended to be generous and issued a statement, claiming that it was understandable that Turkey did not side with Britain and France to participate in the war to jointly fight against German fascism, and expressed the hope that the friendship between Britain and Turkey would continue.

Faced with the outcome of the trilateral mutual assistance treaty between Britain, France and Turkey, Britain could only slap its swollen face and become fat, and swallow the bitter fruit of Turkey's non-compliance.

When Italy declared war on Greece and war broke out in the Eastern Mediterranean, Britain did not even ask Turkey to take joint action against Italy, and Turkey was happy to sit idly by and watch from the other side.

The Soviet Union suddenly launched war operations against Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, and war in the Balkans was on the verge of breaking out. At this time, Turkey had to adopt a more flexible foreign policy, stepping on a tightrope between Germany, Britain and the Soviet Union.

Turkish Foreign Minister Sarajolu held urgent consultations with the Soviet Foreign Affairs Commissioner, making it clear that the Turkish-Soviet non-aggression pact of neutrality between the Turkish-Soviet Union, signed in 1925 and extended in 1935, was still in force, and a new endorsement was signed. It shows that Turkey has absolutely no unfriendly position towards the Soviet Union.

In the face of Turkey's initiative to show goodwill and relent, the Soviet Red Army really stopped moving on the Turkish-Soviet border and the Turkish-Iranian border.

However, Turkey wants to continue to remain neutral in this world war as it has historically done, and Cheng Gong will not let Turkey get its wish in any way.

Cheng Gong told the CIA that he had disclosed to the Soviet intelligence services the non-aggression pact signed between Turkey and Bulgaria, which was very close to Germany, and Turkey's endorsement of the promise to British Foreign Secretary Eden that Turkey would not hesitate to join the Allies in the war if necessary.

At the same time, Cheng Gong also called Stalin, saying that he was very unoptimistic about Turkey, a country that was on both sides between Britain, Germany and the Soviet Union. In the future, Turkey will certainly become an extremely unstable security security in the Mediterranean. The Black Sea straits must not be left under the control of Turkey and must belong to the Soviet Union.

If Comrade Stalin felt the need, the East China Empire could form a coalition with the Soviet Red Army and divide Turkey.
