The British in the British Isles did not know that Germany had begun to plot how to defeat them, and they were still complaining that Roosevelt was too magnanimous to the coalition government.

"Prime Minister, I really don't understand why those Americans would promise so many benefits to the coalition government!" It was the British business secretary who complained, and he gritted his teeth and said indignantly to Churchill.

"At the end of the day, they're white. Why do you give so many benefits to those yellow-skinned monkeys! How many resources are there in the whole of Southeast Asia! Did you just let it out?! ”

Not to mention the Minister of Commerce, even the other cabinet members don't look good. For a long time, the largest source of resources for Britain and even Europe is Southeast Asia, and no one can accept it without it.

"Do you think I'd like to see that?! But now hundreds of thousands of Japanese are entrenched in Southeast Asia, and they have also taken more than 300,000 prisoners of us and the Americans, what do you say we should do?! ”

Churchill almost jumped up and pointed at the business secretary's nose and scolded him for being an idiot! Do you think the Americans are willing to cede Southeast Asia?! Why is it that now that all his own people are trapped there, MacArthur has already withdrawn to Australia.

Who's going to get those lands back?! The most serious thing is that Britain is now unable to defend itself under the onslaught of Germany. Not to mention crossing the ocean to fight in Southeast Asia, it is a question of whether or not the current British Isles can be saved.

Unfortunately, the short-sighted or self-interested ministers still focused on the benefits of Southeast Asia, but no one mentioned the fact that Southeast Asia had been occupied by the Japanese.

"Even if it is occupied by the Japanese, we will still be able to recapture it in the future......" The Secretary of War said to Churchill with some displeasure, "Anyway." Those resources are so cheap, that tiger. ”

Churchill sneered, don't these idiots know the terrible nature of the Japanese getting those resources?! If the Japanese were given ample resources, who could guarantee that they would not choose to attack Australia ?!

Australia can't hold on. So what about them coming to Europe to fight for the dividends of the war ?! What about them going to Africa?! What will be the consequences if they frantically attack the United States and cause the United States to be unable to provide effective support to Britain?!

Churchill was suddenly a little lonely, and there were few offices in Downing Street that really had the long-term interests of Britain in mind. They value their own interests and what benefits they can get in the short term.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, in fact, Churchill clearly knows that the reason why Britain has come to this point is not unrelated to this way of thinking of these people.

Britain is lonely, and lonely for a fast state. What was once an empire on which the sun never sets, may now have sunset. Churchill lamented. All I can do is ensure the last bit of dignity of this country of the sunset.

At least, the British Empire could not be discarded in his hands.

"Gentlemen, I would like to make only two points on this subject." Churchill paused. To the crowd: "First, Southeast Asia is no longer in our hands. Although we are reluctant to admit it, the fact is that we will not be able to support Southeast Asia in the short term. ”

"Second, the Japanese are, after all, our enemies. And the Wehrmacht still has our allies in the end. Is it better for resources to fall into the hands of the enemy or in the hands of allies. I don't need to explain this. ”

There was a pause. Churchill said coldly to the cabinet members who gave him a headache: "In the end, I want to say: if we still have the mentality of focusing on our own interests, then we will not win this war!" ”

Churchill had some resentment at these bastards, even though they were now his own colleagues. But this extermination exempted Churchill from his contempt for them.

"A long time ago, I was in contact with the then Prime Minister Mike? Downer spoke about the German threat, but unfortunately no one in England listened to me at the time. When Churchill said this, everyone bowed their heads in shame.

Yes, they were among those who were reluctant to listen to Churchill at that time.

"I know, I know from the bottom of my heart that you are not blind to the danger of Germany. It's the chaos that you think is only continental Europe. Only then can Britain develop calmly. ”

"But what did we get?! What we got was hundreds of thousands of heroic British Emperors killed or captured, and the Germans drove us straight out of France to the sea! Here's why. Gentlemen, do you know?! ”

Everyone was silent again, and they knew very well why this was. If they could have contained it long before Germany showed its ambitions, if they could have stopped it in time when Germany was expanding its army.

If they had been determined when Germany was trying to expand, perhaps the situation would have been very different. It's a pity that there are no regret pills to buy in the world.

The British could only continue their regret after paying a great price, but it was a pity that their habitual way of thinking once again allowed them to repeat the mistakes they had made in Europe.

They tried to get the Japanese to wear down the Wehrmacht, but they proudly hoped that their original interests would be preserved. Perhaps these people still have in mind that they want to make some secret compromise with the Japanese.

They had not done such a thing before, and in the face of the resolute opposition of France, the British secretly chose to compromise with Germany. Germany was given the opportunity to stir up the European continent.

Of course, this seems to be good for the UK in the short term. Because in doing so, Britain stood on the commanding heights of Europe. Both Germany and France needed the support of Britain to be able to act.

And the consequence of this is what it is now, they fattened Germany. In the end, they were beaten to the ground by the Germans, and hundreds of thousands of British troops were lost in Dunkirk.

But even so, these "big shots" still maintain their habits. They still want to do it in Asia, but they forget that Britain is nothing in Asia now.

Even their "pearl of the British Empire" India, which is seriously threatened by Japan, who said that after occupying Southeast Asia, Japan will not set its sights on India?!

"Gentlemen. I want you to know that now we have basically lost our influence in Asia. Churchill said bitterly: "We still expect that Tiger General to help us protect India, and if we still hold on to Southeast Asia at this time, do you think he will help us defend India?!" ”

Look at me, everyone, and I'll see you don't speak. The toughness of the tiger. It's not that they haven't seen it. The British never took advantage of him in several deals. It can even be said that there is a slight loss.

In fact, this is also the place where the British are indignant against the slaughter of the tiger, or the British Empire! How can you suffer at the hands of a yellow person?!

Unfortunately, the situation faced in the UK at the time was that it had to be sold. If they don't sell, maybe the Americans and the French will sell, and then they will only lose even more.

But the British secretly wrote down this account, always thinking of finding an opportunity to repay it to Tu Menghu. Unfortunately, later because of the rise of Germany and the threat of the Soviet Union. Their gaze has been drawn from the Far East.

Even their resources, Southeast Asia, don't have much energy to pay attention to, let alone slaughter tigers.

"Gentlemen, now our eyes should not be on the Far East or Southeast Asia." Churchill looked at the cabinet leaders. "We need to know that the most seriously threatened right now is the British Isles!" ”

In Jakarta, Philippines, in the office of the commander of the Philippine Dispatch Army, Masaharu Honma was looking at the report in his hand with satisfaction, and his eyebrows were full of smiles.

This is the recent mining of minerals in the Philippines, which is about 30% higher than before. The empire's endless stream of freighters departs from Tokyo and Yokohama. I came to the Philippines and shipped these minerals back to Japan in batches.

The base camp is positive about Masaharu Honma's contribution. sent a phone report to warn him to make persistent efforts. And told Masaharu Honma that if he could increase production by another two percent by the end of the year, then his position as general was just around the corner.

"Yo Si! Tanaka, I'm very satisfied with your results! "Honma Masaharu knew that if he supervised it himself, he might not have such a high yield.

To be able to have such a high yield, the "Tanaka Nosuke" in front of him has contributed a lot. It was he who organized a large number of people to exploit the mineral deposits.

He was the one who communicated with the local families and merchants who were willing to cooperate with the Japanese, and with the help of these people, a large number of prisoners of war were converted into mining laborers.

Most of these families were white families who worked with the United States during the white period, and they already knew how to mine minerals. With their efforts and supervision, no one has a chance to be lazy.

Hundreds of thousands of U.S. prisoners of war and a large number of Filipino troops. All of them have become ground rats in the mines. Under the threat of machine guns and bayonets, they worked hard to mine.

Because they know. The "poet general" who captured them was not a good man. He never had the intention of feeding these prisoners of war in vain.

Quite simply, if the slightest thing is wrong or that these prisoners of war do not work hard, then death awaits them. ** The threat to the naked life of these American prisoners of war made these American prisoners of war have no choice but to work hard.

The Filipino families who had taken refuge in the Japanese were extremely excited. Once they were prostrate at the feet of the white man, now they can finally drive the white people who used to be high up into the mine like rats.

Under their whips, these white men who were originally high above could only tremble. The Japanese, on the other hand, began to teach them how to use firearms and gave some of the Filipino surveillance tasks to the Filipinos.

After all, Japan's current strategy in Southeast Asia is to use Southeast Asia's manpower and resources to continuously support its expansion plans. The latest thing on the agenda is how to use human resources in Southeast Asia.

After all, such a large amount of human resources is really a waste if not used. And the base camp's current requirement is to let the Southeast Asian dispatch troops test these Southeast Asian natives.

To see if they are suitable for military missions and how they fit into them, where they are likely to appear......

"Shina!" Ishihara Wan'er bowed slightly to Xianyuan Gong Zairen and said, "In the eyes of his subordinates, the key to solving the situation in China lies in Southeast Asia!" ”

"According to Shogun Honma and Shogun Yamashita in return, most of the locals in Southeast Asia are willing to cooperate with the Empire. This is good news for us. After a pause, Ishihara said, "So, my subordinates have asked General Honma and others to start investigating whether those local natives in Southeast Asia are suitable to become soldiers. ”

"If you can. Then sending them to China after a little training would be a good option. Ishihara said with a smile: "Even if there is a loss, then it is okay for the overall situation." ”

"As long as they can hold out until we take the region, including India, then the empire will be able to have enough troops to start a full-scale war against China!" As he spoke, Ishihara's eyes lit up. Said: "This, too, will eventually push the empire to the top!" When the time comes, we will be able to truly be proud of Europe and the United States and achieve hegemony! ”

Ishihara Wan'er, who listened to the words of Ishihara Wan'er, couldn't help but boil with his blood, the hegemony of the empire! It will be proud of Europe and the United States, which Japan has been pursuing since the Meiji Restoration.

"Ishihara, you can do this matter yourself!" Try to calm your mood. Xianyuan Palace said in a deep voice to Ishihara Wan'er: "The century-old hegemony of the empire is all here!" As long as you succeed, I will take you with me to ask His Majesty the Emperor for credit! ”

"Hail!! The subordinates will definitely do their best. Live up to His Highness's trust! ”

The imperial capital of China, the headquarters of the Wehrmacht. Tu Menghu was looking through the documents about Southeast Asia submitted by the intelligence department in front of him, which recorded the current movements of the Japanese army and the situation of prisoners of war.

There is no doubt that the Anglo-American prisoners of war are now used as coolies in Southeast Asia, so the losses are naturally not small. More than 1,000 people have died in just over a month.

More than five thousand people were wounded and sick. The Japanese didn't care about the Geneva Conventions. All they want now is minerals from Southeast Asia. They don't care about anything but that.

The lives and deaths of these prisoners of war are now in the hands of the nations of Southeast Asia for whom they once lived for their humble lives. The families who chose to cooperate with Japan are now the masters of these people.

Under their whips, the POWs began to dig up ore in large numbers in exchange for their own rations.

"There are too few deaths, there should be more deaths." Tu Menghu put down the report and said with a sneer: "The British seem to be reluctant to hand over Nanyang. Tell the people in Singapore that if the British are reluctant, let the British there die a little more. ”

"Yes!" A middle-aged man with an ordinary face sitting on the sofa stood up and gave a military salute to Tu Menghu and said, "The Nanyang Theater has sent a request for war telegrams, and they think that it should be possible to carry out small-scale operations now." ”

Ordered the table. Tu Menghu shook his head: "It's not the time yet, tell them to continue lurking." ”

said. Tu Menghu stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the west, and said, "Let them calm down, only a small part is exposed now." Wait until there are enough people, and when Europe and the United States are angry enough, we will do it. ”

Tu Mengben's purpose is very simple, he just wants Britain and the United States to be provoked. Let those local natives cooperate more and more deeply with the Japanese. Causing more prisoners of war to die.

Only then will the British and Americans be eager to let the Wehrmacht into Southeast Asia. And not so reluctantly and secretly trying to make a stumbling block.

"There aren't enough dead, we need more." Tu Menghu said coldly: "Those sins done by white people in Southeast Asia, I can't take them back with my own hands for the time being. But it is also appropriate to ask the Japanese to help collect some interest. ”

The man nodded, gave a military salute, and turned to walk away slowly. And Tu Mengben didn't stay in the office for long, and he was going to hold a military meeting in a while. What I heard was a report on the battle situation from Shanghai.

"At present, the Sixth Army of our Second Army Corps has firmly occupied the front-line positions of the Japanese army. But we only occupied the first line of positions, and the Japanese army was much more cautious after a night battle with our army. The Sixth Army launched several night attacks, but they were unsuccessful......"

Su Zongzhe took the battle report and flipped through the pages of it, and said to Tu Mengben and others in the conference room: "After the Japanese army lost the first battle, it transported a large number of 75mm guns to the front line. These guns and their anti-tank grenades posed a great threat to our tanks, and for the time being, the tanks could not pose a threat to the Japanese positions......"

The current situation in Shanghai was not good, and the attacking troops suffered a great setback. The Japanese adjusted their fortifications and supplemented them with a large number of artillery pieces.

After several air raids, they chose to bombard the artillery with their guns flat in the fortifications. This undoubtedly caused a great obstacle to the offensive of the Wehrmacht.

"The Japanese army is constantly increasing the slope in front of their positions, which also makes our attack very difficult......" Su Zongzhen paused, and continued: "Although the air force can provide some support, it is difficult for the bombs to threaten the Japanese fortifications now......"

"The 14.5mm twin machine gun worked well and caused great damage to the Japanese positional fortifications. However, the Japanese army's setting of firepower points is too complete, and it is difficult to destroy them all at once......"

One by one, difficulties are placed in front of the Wehrmacht, and I have to admit that Shunroku Hata is indeed a strong general. Under his leadership, the Japanese army reinvigorated its morale and adjusted and strengthened its positions.

“…… This is the situation now, the Sixth Army called to ask if it was necessary to storm the positions of the Japanese army?! Su Zongzhen closed the document and asked Tu Mengben.

The generals present stared at each other, knowing that with just a word from the commander-in-chief, the entire Sixth Army might face tens of thousands of casualties.

However, Tu Mengben did not force the Sixth Army to attack as he did last time. He remained silent, and the silence was suffocating......
