The explosion of the Japanese munitions ship and the earth-shattering sound naturally attracted the attention of the British, who soon found the body of Jiro Miura, even if the British were stupid, they knew that it was the Japanese who reached out to India, but they didn't know what was the excitement that killed Miura and others, I'm afraid things are very complicated.

However, no matter how complicated it is, the British must also express their position, Japan has already touched India, which Britain cannot tolerate, although China has long intervened in Indian affairs, but Britain can not grasp the real evidence, the two countries can only fight, and Britain is on the weak side, can only swallow its anger.

But now the situation is completely different, there are more than a dozen Japanese corpses here, and this is the best evidence, so the Chamberlain government immediately passed a sanctions bill and launched economic sanctions against Japan, especially the oil embargo.

Japan was also angry at the failure of the operation at this time, but the economic sanctions were useless at all, Japan had occupied Indonesia, had a solid oil-producing area, and was not afraid of British sanctions at all, and Japan had thoroughly tasted the benefits of expansion, especially after seeing the wealth of the South Seas, the Japanese could not stop.

Indonesia alone is seven times larger than Japan, and the richness of its products is far greater than that of Japan, and it has to be said that most of the areas controlled by Western colonial forces are very resource-rich areas, which have a fatal attraction for a resource-hungry country like Japan, just like drugs, as long as they are consumed, it is difficult to get rid of them.

And this is not only the idea of the Japanese upper class, even the ordinary Japanese people have joined in, many people will say that the people are innocent, in fact, there is no innocent, as far as the Japanese are concerned, their army expands in the front, and the people follow up the immigrants to do business and obtain huge profits.

After the occupation of Indonesia, the price of rice in Japan was reduced by one-third, and the supply was abundant, so that the Japanese, who had always been stingy, could eat rice as they pleased. Drink sake. This was unthinkable in the past.

This huge war dividend has plunged the Japanese into a kind of madness from top to bottom, and the common people send their children into the army, and let the government build them into expansion machines to occupy better territory, grab more profits, and make life better at home.

The media in Japan also changed their critical attitude towards the military after the Sino-Japanese War and began to flatter. Praise them with the most sensual words, Hirohito was also praised as the reincarnation of the Meiji era, and the image of the imperial army was invincible again.

In addition, Britain's weakness also moved Japan with sufficient confidence, and in the face of Japan's provocation, it should be enough to wave the economic stick, so that Japan can see more and more through Britain's hole cards.

Britain did not dare to go to war with Germany. Of course, the Indian side temporarily lost the opportunity to get involved, and Japan set its sights on New Guinea.

The island of New Guinea is the second largest island in the world after Greenland, and the island is divided into two parts, the western half of which is in Indonesia's territory and the eastern half of which is under the trusteeship of Australia. Petroleum. Natural gas and, above all, large copper and gold mines. It's all mouth-watering.

Japan has already occupied the western half of the country, and now it is natural to want to take the whole island into its hands, and Japan is like a restless child, looking at everything around it is good, and it wants to occupy every piece of territory, and it will not stop for a moment.

Both the United States and Britain felt heartfelt disgust at Japan's move, but they were not yet willing to provoke the island nation, because the real tiger in Europe had risen, and after Germany annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia, its strength expanded rapidly, especially the military industry developed faster.

The production of arms and weapons has surpassed that of Britain and France, and now Germany has once again shown its greedy eyes, this time they are targeting Poland, but it is not easy to annex Poland, at least two layers of obstacles must be broken, the first is the Anglo-French guarantee treaty on Poland, and the second is the Soviet Union.

Poland was between the Soviet Union and Germany, and if Germany occupied Poland, it would inevitably border the Soviet Union, and if it was not done well, it would lead to Soviet intervention, and the two-front engagement in World War I had always been a nightmare for Germany, so it was necessary to avoid fighting on two fronts anyway.

Therefore, Germany had to choose an opponent between Britain and France and the Soviet Union, choose a friend, and after careful consideration, Hitler made Britain the first opponent, these two countries were so weak that they were simply vulnerable, and after cleaning them up, they would be liquidated with the Soviet Union.

With this in mind, Hitler sent Foreign Minister Ribbentrop to contact the Soviet Union in order to reach a peace agreement in every possible way and avoid falling into the nightmare of fighting on two fronts.

At this time, the Soviet Union was also under great pressure, which mainly originated from China, a huge China, the strength is getting stronger day by day, and the relationship between China and the ground workers is still very close, if the two countries form an alliance, plus a nasty Japan, the Soviet Union is bound to face the siege of many countries, and even the disaster of the country.

Prior to this, the Soviet Union also tried to form an alliance with Britain and France against Germany, but these two countries were obviously unwilling to play with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union had no choice but to conclude a "German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact" with Germany

The polar bear unceremoniously showed his greed in this treaty, put aside all the slogans he usually propagated, and reached a partition agreement, including not only Poland, but also the three Baltic states, Romania, the Soviet Union and Germany in an approximately one-to-one exchange, and there was also a secret treaty that once Germany was declared war by Britain and France because of its entry into Poland, the Soviet Union would maintain strict neutrality.

The attitude of the Soviet Union finally gave Hitler the final green light, Germany's expansion was unstoppable, and there was another thing that excited Hitler at this time, that is, the first German aircraft carrier had been launched, which lasted almost two years and was designed exactly according to the drawings of the Zhenyuan provided by China, with a displacement of more than 28,000 tons.

A total of more than 20 German engineers died in the line of duty, and it can be said that the speed of this warship is also bloody, but without the sacrifices of these people, I am afraid that the sacrifice will be even greater and more unbearable in the future.

The launch of the cutting-edge aircraft carrier gave Hitler great confidence, and he personally named the aircraft carrier Bismarck, to commemorate the great hero of the unification of Germany, former Chancellor Bismarck, who should have been a battleship in history became an aircraft carrier, and his sister ship Tirpitz is also under intense construction, and will soon be able to launch.

Germany was soon able to have three aircraft carriers, which inflated Hitler's self-confidence and gave him the confidence to launch the Polish campaign.

Poland's military strength is not weak, the standing army in peacetime reaches 300,000, and after full mobilization, the total strength can reach 1.3 million, although the equipment is old and backward, but the Poles are still very determined to defend their homeland and country, as long as they get the strong support of the big countries, Poland will be able to avoid the fate of falling.

But the Poles were doomed, with greedy polar bears to the east, Britain and France as few junk allies, and Germany as a prodigious force to fight the country, which soon to be partitioned for the fourth time in history.

In order to completely defeat Poland, Germany invested a total of 44 divisions, including 7 armored divisions, 4 light armored divisions, 4 motorized divisions, and 1,939 aircraft, 2,800 tanks, and a total strength of 887,000 troops.

History repeats itself, with German bomber groups roaring towards Polish territory, targeting Polish troops, arsenals, airfields, railways, roads, and bridges. A few minutes later, for the first time, the Poles tasted the greatest sudden death and destruction from the sky in human history.

The large-scale use of the air force is also one of the experiences that Germany has gained from China, and all the battles in China have been started on the basis of controlling air supremacy, and since the appearance of airplanes, the battlefield has become three-dimensional, and the war has become more brutal.

The overall quality of the German people is the highest in this era, and the Nazi war eagles are also the sharpest.

At this time, thousands of artillery pieces were also fired on the border, and shells rained down on the Polish positions. About an hour later, 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 was caught off guard, and 500 first-line planes were blown up at the airport before they could take off.

Numerous artillery, automobiles, and other baggage were destroyed before they could retreat, transportation hubs and command centers were destroyed, and the troops were thrown into disarray, and the Germans took advantage of the situation, led by armored and motorized units, and quickly broke through the Polish lines from several major points.

The war showed a one-sided situation from the beginning, the Polish army was defeated and embarrassed in the face of the sharp German offensive, and Britain and France could no longer sit idly by at this time, they sent ultimatums to Germany respectively, but Germany ignored it, Britain and France had to declare war on Germany, and a world war finally came.

The whole world was also shaken by the news of this declaration of war, the Chinese side had long expected a war, and formulated a set of plans for this, although there were a large number of people in the country calling for an alliance with Germany and joining the war together, but Qiao Yu suppressed all these voices.

And solemnly declared strict neutrality, imposed an arms embargo on both warring sides, and important strategic materials are also in the ranks of restrictions, of course, this is just an attitude, China will definitely not get along with money, as long as it can make money, it will never let go.

However, China's statement is very important, which at least reassures the world that China will not get mixed up with Germany, and this alone is enough to make Britain breathe a sigh of relief, and they have given great appreciation for China's attitude, and the United States and the Soviet Union have also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, without the backing of China's behemoth, Hitler is not fatal, no matter how fierce he is.
