ZTE 13th year, October.

The world's major media have received a secret manuscript detailing the massacre of the Japanese army in Indonesia, Southeast Asia. However, this manuscript arrived more than four months after the beginning of the Japanese Holocaust.

The photographs and detailed records in the manuscript shocked the world. Major media and newspapers also published them one after another, and suddenly the whole world set off a wave of condemnation of Japan. Once again, Japan's reputation has gone to an extreme, and Japanese citizens are often pointed at abroad.

Everyone put the names of executioners and butchers and inhumane names on the Japanese, and many countries began to impose trade sanctions on Japan. It is worth mentioning the United States.

When Japan had declared war on the Allies and occupied French Indochina, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia, the United States had already declared an embargo on any products to Japan. After the photos of the massacre in Japan were exposed, the United States directly announced that it would freeze all Japanese assets in the United States and restrict the movement of Japanese officials in the United States.

Such a decision by the United States is not far from a declaration of war.

There is no way around it, and many American citizens have asked the government to punish Japan, and many have even demanded that the government declare war on Japan and free the civilians who are under the Japanese butcher's knife. Roosevelt's decision can be regarded as a response to domestic public opinion.

The decision of the United States has greatly shaken the whole of Japan, and it has become resentful of the United States from the bottom of its heart. While resenting the United States in their hearts, the Japanese authorities also vigorously denied these things, claiming that the news published in those newspapers was fabricated in order to smear the Japanese army in order to damage the international image of the Imperial Japanese Army.

At the same time, Japan has also asked countries to send journalists to Southeast Asia and Indonesia to investigate in order to prove Japan's innocence.

Japan's explanation pales, because now more than four months have passed and Japan's sweeping plan has been completed. There is no intention of raising the butcher's knife again, and Japan is ready to show journalists from all over the world a very harmonious occupation zone.

However, the turmoil of this incident has not passed, and the fighting over Europe has become more and more intense.

The Germans, having annihilated more than 300,000 Allied troops at Dunkirk, did not stop, and the German Baltic Fleet fleet launched an artillery bombardment of London before the British fleet returned, and the shelling lasted for six hours. In total, the German fleet vented several thousand tons of shells on London, and the whole of London became a sea of fire. According to incomplete statistics, not counting the previous air raids, more than 20,000 British civilians died under the ship's guns, and the number of casualties reached 100,000 with the added wounded. It was the biggest disaster London has ever faced, with countless buildings collapsing, and the streets no longer bustling as before, and even more so in a cool autumn breeze.

The German fleet left early and disappeared into the North Atlantic as soon as the Allied fleet arrived. And in the skies over London, the air battle continues, and there is a possibility that it will continue for a long time.

The British side did not show weakness either, and Churchill directly sent the most powerful bomber force at his disposal at this time. 500 bombers of various types formed a joint bombing formation, and under the cover of more than 1,000 fighters, bombed all the major cities on the German mainland. Although the British side also lost a lot of aircraft, the results of the battle were quite fruitful, resulting in many civilian casualties, and many factories were being blown up by British bombers, which was a great blow to German morale. It saved the Allied decline from the bombing and shelling of London and boosted its own morale.

However, this move by the British completely angered Hitler, at the suggestion of Colin. Hitler planned the Luftwaffe to launch a retaliatory bombing of London, England. Now that the British mainland was protected by the Allied fleet, the German fleet could not get close effectively, and could only rely on aircraft to retaliate.

For a time, planes could be seen every day over Europe, and perhaps every minute that passed, a plane that was not known whether it was Germany or the Allies was shot down. Although the British have vigorously produced aircraft, over time, the speed of production has not been able to cope with the speed of consumption.

During this period, German bombers were able to drop bombs over London every day, and the British side did not show weakness and repeatedly adopted the method of tailgating sneak attacks to bomb major German cities. Such an air war caused huge losses to Germany and Britain, and many of the residents of the big cities of the two countries had already fled to the suburbs and did not dare to stay in the cities at all. People everywhere are panicking, afraid that they may be killed by a bomb one day.

The number of aircraft production lines in Britain is insufficient, and German aircraft are losing every day. Britain began to buy planes from the United States, and Germany also increased the number of planes purchased from China. Especially for bombers, according to Colin's suggestion, Germany was to form at least three air bomber army groups.

In the course of several months, the American and Chinese planes for sale arrived in the hands of their respective customers, and the air battle began to become more intense. Originally, there were still many aircraft that were made in China, but by August, basically eighty percent of them were purchased aircraft. On the Allied side was the American P-47, and on the German side was the Chinese Warhawk-2.

However, although the American P-47 was very advanced and a very good fighter in World War II, it was a little stretched when it encountered the Warhawk-2, and the British Air Force soon fell behind. The Allies urgently need a fighter that can resist the Warhawk-2, at least to a tie with the Warhawk-2 and maintain a confrontational situation.

The aircraft designers of the American side have improved a lot of things through the combat test of the P-47 in the UK. And it also quickly came up with a very outstanding aircraft, the P-51 Mustang fighter. After the emergency production of twenty Mustangs, after competing with the German Warhawk-2, the Allies found that the two fighters were basically evenly matched.

Subsequently, Britain ordered a large number of this type of fighters, and the United States also finalized this P-51 fighter, and since then, almost every day, parts of fighters have been sent to Britain, and after Britain's own assembly, they will directly join the battle......

Germany lost air superiority, and the air battle between the two sides continued to stalemate. This made Hitler very angry, and on the one hand, he urged the domestic fighter research and development to speed up. On the one hand, it has been applying to China to purchase an improved version of the Warhawk-2. However, the Chinese side did not agree, claiming that the Warhawk-2G fighter still has many defects, and it is looking for death on the battlefield. He also said that the Chinese aircraft designers are already trying their best to fix these defects, and as soon as the results are available, they will immediately accept the German order.

Hitler had no choice but to give up on China's refusal. Instead, increase the order for the Warhawk-2. Although the advantage of the Warhawk-2 is not as great as before, the effect is still very good, and it also has a good effect on the American Mustang fighter.

Of course, Hitler did not make Britain any better, and German submarines began to make large-scale sorties, roaming the Atlantic, attacking all Allied merchant ships. Any ship flying the flag of the Central Powers will be sunk. And the German fleet also cooperated with submarines, Hitler wanted to directly block the British sea lifeline in the Atlantic, but Hitler did not lose his mind, and did not order the navy to attack third-party ships, but to seize them. In this way, there was no way for American ships to enter the UK.

Soon the United States lodged a serious protest against Germany's actions and seized a third-party vessel for no reason, which was a very unfriendly move to the United States. Germany quickly replied that if the United States sent more weapons of war to the Allies, it would not be seized, but sunk.

Germany's hard-line attitude severely cut the face of the United States, and for a time the two countries began to fight a war of words. On the Allied side, in the face of the German blockade, in just one month, more than one million tons of cargo ships were lost, which directly reduced Britain's transportation capacity by one-tenth. The British Isles are also beginning to face shortages.

Soon Britain set its sights on China, you Germany can blockade the Atlantic Ocean and dare to seize American ships, but it is impossible to seize even Chinese ships!

In order to get China to agree to sell things to Britain, Churchill personally wrote a letter to Chen Shao.

The general content of the letter is: to agree to China's previous request to directly transfer to China the Middle Eastern land that is now leased to China, and also to agree to set aside a larger area to China.

Chen Shao was very unhappy before, the Jews emigrated from Europe, and the Jewish organization also persuaded Churchill many times, but Churchill only agreed to extend the lease period, and did not agree to China's request to expand the scope of the lease and increase the garrison. Now that the Allies are in trouble, Churchill still hopes that China will agree.

Chen Shao also quickly replied to Churchill that Britain only had to promise to transfer the entire Gulf region to China and not limit the number of troops stationed in China. China could sell weapons to the Allies, but they had to be exchanged for gold, and with each transaction, Britain had to return a portion of the antiquities they had previously stolen from China.

Churchill did not immediately agree to Chen Shao's requests, because they were too harsh for him. But in the face of the growing air threat from Germany, Churchill had no choice. All the underground aircraft factories in the UK are producing aircraft at full capacity every day, but there are still not enough. You can only rely on external forces, and you can make money if you don't have anything else, but if you are attacked by Germany, you won't lose this point.

After that, Churchill reluctantly agreed to China's request. However, Churchill also hoped that this trade would be used to damage relations between China and Germany.

Aircraft factories in China began to produce parts for the British Spitfire and Hurricane very soon opened, and also produced American Mustang fighter engines. China did not sell the Warhawk-2 directly to Britain, mainly because it did not want to provoke Hitler in Germany.

But this deal between China and Britain had deeply stimulated Hitler, making him directly believe that this was a betrayal of Germany by China. Even if China did not form an alliance with Germany, Hitler would not have been able to force this. But to help Germany's opponents in this way is itself a phenomenon of hostility towards Germany.

For this reason, Chen Shao also personally sent a telegram to Hitler, mainly to dispel the unhappiness in his heart. At the time of the decision to sell weapons to the British, he had already prepared his words.

When Hitler saw Chen Shao's telegram, his anger disappeared a lot, but only Hitler knew his inner thoughts.
