Chapter 474: Mediterranean Situation (31)

The current situation in China not only made the allies speechless, but even Emperor Cheng felt a pain in his brain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

While dividing their forces to fight against the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Southern Dispatch Army, the Kuomintang and Communist armies fought in a stalemate in the five provinces of Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Shandong, and Jiangsu. No one can help anyone in the short term.

In order to enable the Kuomintang and Communist armies to devote their energies to dealing with the Japanese, the United States and Britain have set up a special military mediation group. It's a pity that the generals of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party on the front line are all disobedient to these so-called military transfer personnel.

The East China CIA has recently received reliable information that Japan is sending a special envoy to contact the Nanjing side with the intention of returning the northeastern region to the Nationalist Government, on the condition that the Nanjing Nationalist Government announce its withdrawal from the Allied camp.

Lao Chiang was obviously a little hesitant about the signing of the non-aggression pact between China and Japan proposed by the Japanese.

Withdrawing from the Allies at this time would definitely offend the three major powers of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union to death.

If Germany can defeat Britain and Japan can defeat the United States, it would not be a bad thing to withdraw from the Allies and go to the Axis. The problem, however, was that the senior officials of the national government all agreed that it was impossible for Japan to defeat the United States.

As for Britain, if the East China Empire did not join the Axis powers, it would be impossible for the Luftwaffe and Army to cross the English Channel and land on British soil alone.

Lao Chiang's staff members and senior staff all suggested that it was right to follow the Donghua Empire. As for the diplomatic pressure and threats exerted by the US and British governments on the Nationalist Government in Nanjing, they can turn to Cheng Jincheng for help.

For Lao Jiang's cheap brother's request for help, Cheng Gong agreed. Directly told Song Ziwen that the British would be dealt with by Cheng Jincheng, and that the government would try not to participate in the struggle of interests between the Allies and the Axis powers.

You must know that since the Second World War, China has nominally been a member of the Allied camp, but in fact, the Chinese Kuomintang and the Communist Party have not received any penny of aid from the Allied camp.

Although China and Japan were still in a state of war when they declared war, the Japanese government had long sent people to fight with the Nationalist Government in Nanjing. China and Japan were in fact in a state of semi-armistice.

To paraphrase the official statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanjing, what broke out between the Eighth Route Army and the Kwantung Army in the northeast was not a war, but a military conflict.

As Japan has readjusted its strategic focus, the puppet state of Manchukuo has become a small piece of chicken for the Japanese government.

Japan's relocation to the North American continent was a foregone conclusion. According to the immigration plan announced by the Japanese cabinet, less than 5 million fishermen and farmers will be left in the four islands of Japan, and all the urban population will have migrated to the former Canada, and now the new Japan.

Receiving large amounts of industrial resources from Canada and the western United States, as well as frenzied plundering of resources from Southeast Asian countries, Japan's economy not only did not collapse due to the expansion of the war, but showed a kind of prosperous and benign development.

Without logistical supplies from the mainland, the 500,000 Kwantung Army wanted to rely solely on the industrial capacity of the puppet Manchukuo to meet the needs of the war, which was obviously not a long-term solution.

Having acquired more than 10 million square kilometers of new territory on the North American continent, the new Japan had no choice but to prepare for a long-term war with the United States and Britain if it wanted to gain a firm foothold in North America and take root and develop.

Based on such strategic considerations, it is obviously not in the development interests of New Japan to regard China as an enemy at present.

In Japan today, there is a rare and unprecedented unity in Japan, whether it is the imperial faction or the unification faction, and all they are thinking about is how to make the new Japan grow and develop on the American continent.

Landing in North America and occupying Canada was an all-encompassing strategic concept put forward by Emperor Hirohito. With the success of this strategic plan, the worship of the emperor and the imperial family has reached an unprecedented height.

Hirohito's view now is very clear, based on North America and looking at Central and South America. If the new Japan wanted to secure the interests of the occupied areas in Southeast Asia, it would either cooperate with China or the Eastern Chinese Empire.

If you are willing to give up, you will get if you are willing to give up.

As long as the development of the new Japan in the Americas can be guaranteed, some of Japan's interests in Asia must be resolutely discarded. Otherwise, these interests will not only not turn into interests, but will become a huge burden for the new Japan.

Cooperation with the Donghua Empire to share the interests of Southeast Asia was indeed in the interests of the new Japan on the surface. However, it is the so-called big bullying shop. The Donghua Empire is too powerful, and these territories will be swallowed up by the Donghua Empire one by one.

Huaxia is different. With the strength of New Japan, it can be guaranteed at any time that China will not easily encroach on the interests that belong to New Japan. The most important thing is that the Nationalist government in Nanjing, China, has always been in awe of the Japanese. Even if they lend them courage, they don't dare to play the trick of bullying the store.

Japan is attacking China's idea, and the United States and Britain are also moving China's bad ideas. However, the Donghua Empire did not dare to have any idea of getting involved in China.

Emperor Cheng, who was extremely depressed, was of course very angry. The consequences are naturally very serious.

No, Cheng Gong decided to send all the grievances in his heart to the British. That's why he single-handedly concocted the "Galaxy Incident" that happened in the Mediterranean.

As long as the British government has the slightest bit of radical words and deeds against this incident, the Donghua Empire can confidently launch war punishment against the evil British government.

There is no need to have this kind of trick, which has always been the specialty of Chinese people.

In the words of Emperor Cheng, I said that if you British are guilty, you must be guilty.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Donghua Empire would not explicitly reject the British government's proposal to form an investigation team with professionals from the United States, Free France, China, and the Soviet Union to prove that the British freighter Galaxy had been framed.

However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Donghua Empire made it clear that in order to ensure the impartiality of this investigation team, it must be led by the Donghua Empire.

The Donghua Empire should lead the investigation team, and the British government of course did not agree.

The British "Times" published a commentator's article on the front page of this matter, pointing out that this is a typical thief catching a thief, and it is completely a serious diplomatic conspiracy of the Donghua Empire against the British Empire.

The Guangming Daily of the Donghua Empire also published an article. The author of the article first recalls the "September 18 Incident" that occurred on September 18, 1931, and then describes how the League of Nations sent an investigation team to help the Japanese pull the strings. Finally, the author points out that there is never such an absolute truth as just and equitable in this world. Whoever has a big fist will be justified.

Coincidentally, the Imperial Times, another mainstream newspaper of the Donghua Empire, had a front-page headline on the day listing the crimes committed by Britain in the course of colonial expansion around the world since the First Revolution. In particular, Britain launched two opium wars against China with its strong ships and artillery, which made China degenerate into a semi-feudal and semi-colonial tragedy.

With the press and public opinion offensive launched by the propaganda department of the Donghua Empire against Britain's evil colonial history, a wave of anti-British was quickly set off in the Donghua Empire and among the 24 members of the African Union.

The Donghua Empire suddenly sent out an anti-British direction, which immediately made the entire Allied camp feel frightened.

Churchill, who had planned to fly to Moscow to meet with Stalin, immediately canceled his trip and immediately convened a cabinet meeting to discuss how to deal with the anti-British behavior that was taking place in the East China Empire. (To be continued.) )
