Although Japan's two aircraft carriers took the initiative to retreat, the impact on the Far East has not ended, and it can even be said that it has just begun.

With the Japanese occupation of Sumatra, the Strait of Malacca already occupied by Japan, and the construction of military bases and the deployment of hundreds of combat aircraft on the island, the lifeline of the Far East is increasingly precarious under the threat of Japan.

At this time, Britain's influence in the Far East has shrunk significantly, and Lao Qiu has no choice but to ask China again to come forward to ensure the safety of the route!

Since Qiao Yu decided to help Britain at this time, he would definitely take action, but Qiao Yu prescribed a new prescription for Churchill, that is, to abandon Singapore and take the Kra Canal.

The Kra Canal is a project that Qiao Yu has always attached great importance to, this canal can greatly shorten the distance from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean, both economically and militarily has important value, China spent eight years for this, invested more than 100,000 laborers, in the construction process of more than 3,000 Nanyang indigenous labor exhaustion, the consumption of funds reached 500 million Chinese yuan.

It is China's largest project in Southeast Asia, and it is also the key to China's control of the entire South Seas. Of course, the construction of this canal will seriously damage the interests of Singapore, in the past, Singapore held the sea, and it was enough to live a comfortable life by collecting tolls alone, not to mention the ships that came and went here to replenish fresh water and oil, etc., which brought huge demand.

Now that the Kra Canal has been successfully built, Singapore's unique position has been completely broken, and the British are simply unspeakably resentful, and have tried to sabotage the canal construction several times, but they have been successfully resolved by China.

Eventually, the canal was built. The international situation, however, has undergone earth-shaking changes. The canal, which the British had hated so much, turned out to be an important retreat for them. As long as the canal remains, supplies from the East will continue to be transported to Europe to support the British war, even if the Strait of Malacca is blocked.

Thus Churchill had a feeling of great falsehood. Is it that the Chinese foresaw such a day and would spend a lot of money to build the Kra Canal, but anyway, with this lifeline. It's a good thing for the UK.

Of course, China will not be without demands, and the Chinese government has formally asked Britain to hand over the Andaman Islands, which are a series of small north-south islands on the eastern side of the Bay of Bengal, like a column of guards blocking the western part of the Kra Canal, and if China cannot take it, the road out of the Indian Ocean will be blocked.

Even before China passed the Lend-Lease Act, Britain had agreed to renegotiate the Sino-Indian border, including the Andaman Islands, which Britain knew would not be able to keep sooner or later. I just didn't expect it to be so fast.

After some weighing, Churchill had to sadly discover that the Far East was indeed incapable of confronting Japan. Had to rely on the power of China.

"Congratulations to the president, you have won another strategic place!" Jiang Baili smiled and said to Qiao Yu that Jiang Baili's health has not been very good in recent years, and he has been cultivating most of the time, but with the outbreak of World War II and the increasingly tense situation in the Far East, he can't help but plan for China's future.

Jiang Baili and Qiao Yu had worked together a few years ago to deduce the changes in the world situation, and after China extended its hand to the South Seas, it completely became a two-ocean country, with the Pacific Ocean in front and the Indian Ocean in the rear.

After several discussions, Qiao Yu and Jiang Baili teamed up to finalize a grand strategy, adopting a defensive strategy in the Pacific direction, and actively attacking and expanding their power in the Indian Ocean.

The United States will be the largest industrial power for a long time, and it is inconvenient for China to directly clash with the United States when its foundation is not yet strong, so it will take a defensive position in the Pacific region to ensure China's interests and prevent the United States from interfering in Asia.

In the Indian Ocean coastal region, no country can compete with China, so it is a good opportunity for China to expand its sphere of influence, in Qiao Yu's mind, the Indian Ocean has become China's backyard, meddling in India, supporting Abyssinian is part of this strategic layout.

Now that he has the Andaman Islands in his hands, he has undoubtedly taken another solid step towards the set goal, and Qiao Yu's heart is inevitably a little proud.

"This time, even if Britain can achieve the final victory, the decline of the country is inevitable, and the many colonies controlled by the British in the past will definitely fall apart, this is a feast, how much can be grabbed, it depends on their own ability!"

"In fact, the biggest piece of fat is still Europe, where is the birthplace of modern industry, both talent and technology are the world's top, and it can be used when it is in hand, even if China has more colonies, it must invest heavily in development. Therefore, in my opinion, after this big war, the Americans will definitely get the most benefits, and the two consecutive war revenues are really God's favor to the United States! ”

The geographical superiority of the United States is not comparable to that of any country, the local resources are abundant to the extreme, and it is far away from the Eurasian continent, which is full of right and wrong, and the Americans paid the least and benefited the most in the two world wars, and became a superpower and sat on the status of world hegemon.

However, there is one thing worth thinking about, that is, such good conditions on the American continent did not give birth to a glorious ancient civilization, which is simply incomprehensible, and other major river basins basically have civilizations, but the Mississippi River does not, which is really incomprehensible.

This question was not raised by others, but Qiao Rui, the eldest daughter of Qiao Yu, who found several alumni of Sichuan University to do a lot of research together, and finally they really found a reason, this discovery made them ecstatic, and called the United States a land cursed by God!

The reason is very simple, it is the climate problem, the warmth and cold of the earth are cyclical, a cycle of hundreds of years, although the natural conditions of the United States are superior, but due to the lack of east-west mountain ranges, the cold air of the Arctic can go directly south, once the global temperature drops, the cold air of the Arctic invades the American continent, the United States will suffer an unprecedented scale of heavy snow, and the temperature in winter will even be lower than 50 degrees.

Under such conditions, a large number of people will freeze to death, the population will plummet, and the process of civilization will be interrupted. When the climate warms up, the remnants of people multiply again, waiting for the next cycle to come, which is why the Indians in the United States have always been in a primitive society.

In contrast, the east where China is located is blocked by many mountains, and the temperature drop is not so amazing, although there will be cold periods, and even cause the prosperity of dynasties, but it is not enough to destroy civilization, and China can continue.

When the Western colonizers entered the Americas, it happened to be a warm period, so they were able to survive, and after Qiao Rui made this discovery, she excitedly reported to her father, telling him that he didn't have to worry about finding a way to deal with the Americans, as long as he waited for the next cold period to come, the land of the United States, which seemed to make the heavens jealous, would become a big ice cellar, and nature would wipe out the civilization of this continent with unparalleled power!

Qiao Yu just looked at this kind of inference, even if this is the case, it will be hundreds of years later, what should be done about the struggle between the internationals, and what should be done.

"Brother Baili, what you said is right, the United States and Europe have the same roots and species, and have the same religious beliefs, they can indeed get the biggest dividends, but there is another country that cannot be ignored, that is, the Soviet Union, France is finished on the European continent, and only the Soviet Union can compete with Germany!"

"Well, the big president means that he can support the Soviet Union to defeat Germany first, and then balance the United States and Britain!"

"That's right, the Soviet Union is a country that is insatiable and has many contradictions with the United States and Britain, if it can promote the confrontation between them, it will be able to give China another twenty years of development, and by that time, even if the Western world targets us, China will have enough strength to deal with them!"

"The president's vision is still so far-reaching, we were preparing for this big war more than 20 years ago, and now the war has not really begun, but it is not easy to make a plan after the war and come through step by step!"

Qiao Yu also sighed constantly, if it weren't for his century-old knowledge, Qiao Yu would definitely not have been able to make such a long-term plan.

"As long as this step goes smoothly, China will be able to rule the world smoothly, our generation is destined to lay a good foundation for future generations, and the predecessors will plant trees and the future generations will enjoy the shade! Brother Baili, I weighed it again and again, and I think it is more advantageous to force Japan to start a war as soon as possible, and eliminate Japan first, and our next layout will be much easier! ”

While the discussion was underway, the secretary sent a notice from US President Roosevelt, and the US intelligence agencies had once again discovered that the Japanese government was using Japanese-Americans to spy on US intelligence, and the American people's disgust with Japan continued to rise, and Roosevelt was ready to comply with public opinion and freeze all Japanese assets in the United States.

This is the prelude to the further intervention of the United States in the war, it seems that the United States is also a little impatient, now the situation in Europe is becoming more and more tense, Britain is crumbling, the United States wants to enter the war but there is not enough reason, Hitler has adopted a tolerant attitude towards the United States, no matter how the United States helps Britain, Hitler does not provoke the United States, let Roosevelt be in a hurry, there is no excuse to enter the war.

After thinking about it, the Americans put the breakthrough on Japan, sanctioned the island country to death, forced Japan to go crazy, and then dragged Germany into the water.

The United States is still very shrewd in its calculations, and Qiao Yu immediately ordered that China would follow closely with the United States to freeze all Japanese property, expel Japanese nationals, and continue to tighten the ropes around Japan's neck, and at the same time Qiao Yu ordered the establishment of the Northeast Asian Theater to raise the country's combat readiness level!
