As with the German invasion of Poland, the Soviet Union, led by Germany, invaded Poland immediately after the signing of the non-aggression pact with Japan on the war on the border between Japan and the Soviet Union. In the face of the attack of the two countries, the Polish army was even more embarrassed.

At the same time, after learning of the Soviet invasion of Poland, France, Great Britain and all countries, including the Central Powers, declared war on Germany, but the Allies did not declare war on the Soviet Union, and Poland alone declared war on the Soviet Union. At this time, most of the people in the Allies believed that the Soviet Union could still be fought for, and the Soviet-German relations were definitely not as good as they seemed. Despite the Allied Treaty, Britain and France did not fulfill it in full, at least in the case of the USSR.

France, Great Britain, and the members of the British Commonwealth formally declared war on Germany, but in essence they provided little support to Poland, with only small attacks on the Saarland in France. The British and French teams only kept on guard on the Maginot Line and defended, and did not mean to attack the German ** team on a large scale.

This was followed by Japan and Italy also declaring war on the Allied member states. However, after the declaration of war in Italy, there was no substantive military move, and it was very calm. However, Japan was different, and less than five minutes after declaring war on the Allies, the Japanese Combined Fleet, which had quietly approached Cam Ranh Bay, launched a surprise attack on the Vietnamese French ** team. Under the cover of carrier-based aircraft and naval guns, Japanese troops of a brigade of Japanese marines landed in Cam Ranh Bay, occupied the beachhead, and then attacked inland. The troop carriers followed, and under the cover of naval guns and aircraft, a shipload of Japan was sent to the shore.

With the outbreak of war in Europe, the war in Southeast Asia also began.

The French army in Vietnam was stunned by the Japanese for the first time, and there was no time to react. Coupled with the general lack of training of the colonial garrisons, they were no match for the wolf-like Japanese army, and soon, pieces of land were occupied by the Japanese army.

The Japanese offensive was rapid, and in less than half a day, the whole of Cam Ranh was captured, and then all the land forces in the fleet landed. With the size of the division as the main force of the attack, it radiated to all sides. At this time, the Japanese army did not rest at all, and the battle reached a white-hot level in an instant, but it was a one-sided white-hot one, because the French army was more like a duck being chased away, running for its life, unable to organize an effective resistance.

The reason why France lost so quickly was that there was a huge disparity in troops. In the Vietnamese colony, the French garrison was only tens of thousands of people, and they had to be dispersed throughout Vietnam. The Japanese, on the other hand, had ten divisions and two armored brigades, which were much stronger than the French army. In addition, Japan also has the support of naval guns and carrier-based aircraft, and the French army only has some old-fashioned aircraft, which are not at all the opponents of Japan's latest Zero, and they are completely abused. In addition, the Japanese carried out a surprise attack, and there was no warning before, so it is not surprising that the French army was defeated.

The Allies were in a great position of passivity at the moment, with the Soviet Union and Germany attacking Poland and Japan attacking Southeast Asia. At this moment, they all reacted, the Axis countries were singing to them before, but they couldn't do anything for a while. The preparation is not in place, and it is beyond the reach of the whip.

British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain resigned as prime minister as soon as possible, and Churchill reorganized the cabinet to lead the next stage of the British war. The formation of the government was very fast, Chamberlain stepped down as prime minister, and Churchill immediately took office. At the beginning of the war, Chamberlain also felt that he could no longer grasp the authority of the prime minister, and the people in the country and the upper and lower houses did not support him, and there was no way to resign.

Immediately after taking office, Churchill issued several orders, ordering a part of the naval forces to blockade the German seas, hoping to disrupt Germany's economic development and provide some support for the war situation. He also ordered the British army in Southeast Asia to gather legal troops to resist the Japanese attack. Subsequently, he ordered the Mediterranean Navy to keep a close eye on the movements of the German and Italian navies, looking for opportunities to strike at the German navy as much as possible.

The outbreak of the war has attracted a lot of attention, but there are also some people who look at China and the United States to see what they have to say. Relations between China and Germany have always been good, as have relations between the United States and Britain and France. The attitude of the two great powers is very likely to change the situation of the war, and it has to be paid attention to.

China didn't keep people waiting, and the official spokesman was quick to give China's position.

"Right after the Olympics, there were wars in Europe and Southeast Asia. China has always hoped for world peace, but due to the factor of strength, it has not been able to truly maintain peace. China can only deeply regret this. ......, here, the Chinese Association will firmly stand its own position, resolutely maintain neutrality, and will never help any party. ”

The United States followed suit and also released official information. As a result, like China, the United States also declared its neutrality.

The attitude of China and the United States has made many people feel that the two countries are not wary of each other, and neither of them wants to join the war first, so as not to suffer losses. This is not impossible, and mutual vigilance is inevitable. Of course, the two countries have not announced a treaty between them, and they are silent about it.

The declaration of neutrality by the two world's industrial powers has also reassured many countries. The most direct is Britain and France, after all, India and Southeast Asia are too close to China, and if China comes to troubled waters, the result can be imagined. Neutrality is neutrality, and it is better than helping one side.

In an antagonistic relationship, one party is happy, and the other is not. It's just that this unhappiness is buried deep in the bottom of my heart and is not revealed. On the surface, it is still necessary for the relationship to be good.

On 5 September, half a month after the start of the war, Poland was divided between Germany and the Soviet Union, while Lithuania and Slovakia were given some land. However, despite this, the Polish government never announced its surrender, but instead organized the Polish Underground State and the Polish Home Army, which continued to fight together with the Allied forces deployed on various fronts around Poland. In addition, about 100,000 Polish military personnel were evacuated to Romania and the Baltic States, and these soldiers later joined the ranks of the German offensive against the German forces.

After intervening in Poland and Lithuania, the Soviet Union forced the Baltic states to "assist in the stationing of Soviet troops in their countries" under the terms of the German-Soviet Treaty on the Delimitation of the Border of Friendship and Cooperation.

In the ――――――――――――― and a half months, Japan's offensive in Southeast Asia was also very fierce, and it was completely a posture of not wanting to die. Within half a month, two more groups of Japanese troops landed in Southeast Asia, and Japan's strength in Southeast Asia reached 20 divisions and regiments, plus independent brigades, and the number reached 600,000, five or six times that of the British and French forces.

After Poland was partitioned by the Soviet Union, Japan also completed its occupation of Southeast Asia except Burma. The Anglo-French allies were forced directly into Burma, and the road ahead was in a dilemma. Because there is a line in Burma, a line that they dare not cross. This line cut off their route to India, preventing Indian reinforcements from coming to their aid.

Since China remains neutral, there is another China-Myanmar railway in Burma, which belongs to China's territory. Because of the principle of neutrality, it was even more impossible to allow the Anglo-French allies or the Japanese army to pass, because that would not be in line with the principle of neutrality. As long as one side is allowed to pass through the territory and achieve military objectives, it is tantamount to actively undermining the neutral position.

Chen Shao has spent most of these days in the command center of the Ministry of National Defense, and he has handed over all domestic affairs to Zong Li, Weiren and others, and he now has to focus on world wars. After cultivating Zong Li and Weiren for so many years, Chen Shao trusted the abilities of the two very much, and he was also relieved to hand over state affairs to them.

"Your Majesty, the Allies have sent another request, hoping that we will let the Southeast Asian Allies pass." Jiang Baili walked up to Chen Shao and said.

"The principle is immutable, he wants the allies to retreat, what if Japan wants to attack? Do we also want to let the Japanese pass, since we are neutral, then we will not help each other. Reply, unless the Allies surrender their weapons to China and are detained and guarded by China, we will not let them enter the border. Otherwise, it would be better for Japan to take those tens of thousands of allied troops as prisoners, and its position will never change. Chen Shao said.

Seeing that tens of thousands of Allied troops were besieged, there was no way to retreat. Chen Shao couldn't help but think of the ** heroes who were disarmed by the British army in the Sixing Warehouse in later generations, but now things are just the opposite.

Britain and France wanted to rescue the tens of thousands of Allied troops, and at this moment the entire Southeast Asian region was surrounded by Japan, and the only way to withdraw was through that railway. But an active group army is also stationed here, and its combat effectiveness is very strong. The Anglo-French allies did not shout at all, and the Anglo-French allies repeatedly asked for it, blocking the front of the Anglo-French allies like an impassable mountain. In addition, this is just people's land, and tens of thousands of troops have to pass through, so in order to avoid "misunderstandings", it is necessary to get China's consent, otherwise it is easy to break out into military conflicts.

Chen Shao naturally couldn't let them pass, and the area around the Burma Railway was already within the territory of China, that is, the land of China. How can other ** teams pass casually, they are not allies of China. What's more, let the Allies pass, what about the Japanese! It's so hard that you have to let the Japanese go over, isn't that nonsense!

However, Chen Shao did not say anything to death, he can help your allies save the lives of those soldiers from falling into the hands of the Japanese, but you must unconditionally surrender to the Chinese army. In this way, China would have an excuse to watch the Allies, and it would be equally protective of their safety. As for whether Japan will have an opinion, Chen Shao doesn't care at all, this can be regarded as helping Japan "eliminate" tens of thousands of allied troops, how dare Japan have an opinion.

At this time, Churchill, who was already anxious, received a reply from China, and felt inexplicable sadness in his heart. What is such a thing? But now he has no choice, since he is wiped out by the Japanese, it is better to disarm the Chinese army, at least one life can be saved. But in this way, the face of the allies was disgraced.

"That's it, that's it, it's a big shame anyway, and it's not bad for this." After thinking about it for a long time, Churchill could only comfort himself in this way.

ps: The dragon set only received a dragon set, which is too much! Anyway, isn't it really fashionable to ask for a trick now? It's not that it takes a little less to make it gorgeous.
