The signing of the "Australia-East Security Treaty" was a slap in the face of the British royal family and cabinet.

The British Empire, which declared no war, became the biggest laughing stock in the world for a while.

This time, however, Churchill was surprisingly silent, rather than jumping up and down again. No matter which country reporters came to interview him, he did not say anything about the AUS-TESE Security Treaty.

At a time when countries around the world were analysing and speculating about what decision Britain would make about losing its colony, a major event occurred that shocked all the governments.

At 4:45 a.m. on July 8, 1939, the German Air Force B29 bomber group roared towards Polish territory, targeting Polish troops, arsenals, airfields, railways, roads and bridges.

Five minutes later, the Poles had a deep understanding of how the Australians felt when faced with the bombing of the Donghui Air Force.

This sudden death and destruction, the largest in the history of Europe, for the first time, undoubtedly made all the countries of Europe collectively lose their voices.

ON THE GERMANIAN-POLISH BORDER, 5,000 ARTILLERY GROUPS OF 75MM, 105MM, 155MM, 203MM AND OTHER DIFFERENT CALIBERS ROARED AT THE SAME TIME, AND SHELLS RAINED DOWN ON THE POSITIONS OF THE POLISH ARMY.

At 5:50 in Lingli, the German ground forces launched an offensive on all fronts from the north, west, and southwest.

At the same time, the German battleship "Holstein", which was anchored outside the port of Danzig under the guise of a friendly visit, also suddenly opened fire on the Polish military base.

The Polish army, which was caught off guard, was blown up at the airfield before more than 500 planes deployed on the front line could take off. Countless artillery, automobiles, and other baggage were destroyed before they could retreat. Transport hubs and command centers were destroyed, and troops were thrown into disarray.

However, the German attack on Poland alone was not enough to shock the whole world.

At the same time as the German army launched a surprise attack on Poland, the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, in coordination with the Japanese Army's 250,000 landing force, launched an all-out attack on Hong Kong and the Malay Peninsula.

Two battleships, the Prince of Wales and the Enemy, the capital ships of the Royal Navy's Eastern Fleet, as well as more than 20 cruisers, destroyers, and frigates, were all sunk by the AD-1 torpedo attack aircraft group of the Japanese naval air force in the port of Singapore.

At 7 a.m. on 8 July, the Japanese army successfully landed on the beach in Hong Kong, Kota Bharu in Malaya, Songkhla and Pattanii in Thailand, and established a solid beachhead to open up a landing ground for the follow-up offensive troops.

At ten o'clock in the morning, in Berlin, Germany, Hitler excitedly announced to the Reichstag that the Reichsian army had invaded Poland and Germany was in a state of war. He declared: "From now on, I am only a soldier of the German Empire, and I am wearing this military uniform, which is the most sacred and precious to me." Before the final victory, I will never take off this military uniform, or I will die for my country! Hitler's impromptu speech provoked a wave of fanatical shouting from all the members of the National Assembly.

At half past ten in the morning, in Tokyo, Japan, Emperor Hirohito solemnly delivered a radio speech to the military and civilians of all Japan, and the Great East Asian Holy War of the Empire officially began! For the sake of the prosperity of the Yamato nation and the lofty ideal of common prosperity in Greater East Asia, I hope that all Japanese military and civilians will closely rally around the imperial leadership with the Imperial Emperor at the core, fully carry forward the spirit of fearless bushido, which is not afraid of hardship or death, and lay a broad living space for future generations of the Yamato nation that is free from natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes.

Although the Allied bloc led by Britain, France, and the United States had long predicted that Germany and Japan would definitely provoke war in Europe and Asia, it was a bit unexpected that Hitler and Hirohito would choose the opportunity for Donghui to suddenly start a war less than 20 hours after the signing of the "Australia-East China Security Treaty" with Australia.

Obviously, Germany and Japan made it clear that they wanted to tie Donghui to the chariot of the Axis powers!

It seems that the German and Japanese armies have completely learned from the Donghui Wehrmacht what is the military theory of modern warfare in which air, ground, and sea are integrated and coordinated operations. At the beginning of the war, the speed of the German army's advance in Poland and the momentum of the Japanese army's attack in Southeast Asia were basically no different from the unstoppable blitzkrieg mode of the Donghui Wehrmacht against the Australian battlefield. Every day at a speed of at least 80 kilometers to advance in the direction of the enemy's depth.

On July 10, Britain and France formally declared war on Germany and Japan. Germany and Japan also officially declared war on Britain and France on the same day.

It was at this time that Australia's military and civilians suddenly understood how wise their new prime minister, John Curtin, was.

As if in response to the declaration of war by Germany and Japan on Britain and France, Cheng Gong held a press conference in Port Moresby on July 10, 1939, announcing that from now on, the Donghui Kingdom would be renamed the Donghua Empire.

The territory of the Donghua Empire is the entire island of New Guinea and the surrounding islands, as well as the Special Administrative Region of Paradise Island, and the dependent state of the Federal Republic of Australia.

Port Moresby has since changed its name to Chang'an, becoming the official imperial capital of the Donghua Empire, Cheng Gong is the founding emperor of the Donghua Empire, the emperor's name is Jincheng, and he is scheduled to officially ascend the throne on October 1, 1939 is also known as the first year of Jincheng.

The Donghui Defence Force was renamed the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force and the Royal Army.

Cheng Gong's press conference was not over, and the foreign ministries of Japan and Germany announced their recognition of the Donghua Empire at the first time, and applied to His Majesty Emperor Jincheng for the establishment of diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level, and the two sides exchanged ambassadors and built embassies for each other.

An hour later, the Soviet Union and the United States announced at about the same time that they recognized the Donghua Empire and hoped to establish normal diplomatic relations with the Donghua Empire at the ambassadorial level. The Soviet Foreign Ministry also released an hour to the outside world that Soviet Supreme Leader Joseph Stalin will pay a state-style visit to the East China Empire on a later date.

The anti-Japanese democratic government of Peking and the Nationalist government of Nanjing, after the Soviet Union and the United States, announced their recognition of the Donghua Empire.

In less than a day, all countries in the world, with the exception of Britain and France, announced their recognition of the Donghua Empire and applied for diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level.

On the same day, the Australian federal government also issued an official statement that the head of state of Australia was the Emperor of the Donghua Empire, and applied to His Majesty the Emperor Jincheng to appoint the Governor of Australia as his representative.

In terms of foreign affairs, Cheng Gong was all handed over to the chamberlain and Foreign Minister Zeng Guanghong to deal with. The only thing to explain was that when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs replied to the Soviet Union, it proposed that Stalin not come to the imperial mainland when he visited Donghua, but to go to the Paradise Island Special Administrative Region. The reason for this was that it was closer to the Soviet Far East and that it was safer to travel to.

Why did Stalin suddenly decide to visit the Donghua Empire, Cheng Gong didn't have to guess to think that the Soviet Union was going to do something to Afghanistan!

The Donghui Kingdom changed its name to the Donghua Empire, and Cheng Gong only mentioned Australia as a vassal state of the Donghua Empire, in addition to declaring the sovereignty of the Donghua Empire's territory, airspace, and territorial waters. As for whether the Donghua Empire inherited the original Donghui Kingdom and declared war on Britain and France, which was the most concerned matter of various governments, there was no mention of it.
