The expansion of Japanese aggression in the South China Sea region has become an inevitable situation, and there is intelligence that the Japanese Zuihe aircraft carrier is about to be launched, so Japan has three large aircraft carriers, plus the Fengxiang and Longxiang, Japan has three large, two small and five aircraft carriers, and the total tonnage has undoubtedly exceeded the original limit of 90,000 tons.

Moreover, the Japanese, who have a great appetite, have designed a new type of aircraft carrier, named the Taiho, which is said to have a tonnage of more than 50,000 tons; if it continues to develop according to this plan, Japan is bound to become a powerful maritime force in the Asia-Pacific region, capable of directly threatening the two big men of China and the United States.

The purpose of such a frantic development of armaments by a small country is very simple, it can only expand aggression, and all countries in the world are aware of Japan's madness, so everyone's attention is focused on the Asia-Pacific region.

At this juncture, Chinese Field Marshal and Defense Minister Wu Tong issued a proposal to the United States to establish a Sino-US intelligence communication mechanism to make every effort to maintain peace in the Pacific region.

Once the intelligence between China and the United States is shared, Japan's sandwich will become very embarrassing, and US President Roosevelt immediately agreed, and sent Secretary of State Hull to visit China, hoping to strengthen cooperation with China, and Hull also brought Roosevelt's invitation, hoping that Qiao Yu can visit the United States at the right time.

The current leaders of various countries are far from moving around as frequently as the leaders of later generations, and everyone will not leave their countries easily, especially the powerful dictators, and the invitation issued by the United States at this time is undoubtedly an expression of a strong desire to strengthen cooperation.

The Chinese side also responded positively, and Hull received unprecedented courtesy in China, and Vice Premier Yan Xishan personally greeted him at the airport, and the two countries immediately began a positive dialogue.

In fact, although the United States at this time had an industrial system that was proud of the world, the Americans were not strong enough to ignore any opponent, especially a huge country like China. Attention must be paid to it. The biggest fear for the United States is that China and Japan will come together and then jointly target the United States, which will increase the pressure on the United States in the Pacific region.

At this time, China sent a goodwill signal to the United States, and the Americans naturally did not want it, and the secretary of state personally came to China to negotiate.

Foreign Minister Gu Weijun and Hull had a frank conversation, and the two sides pledged to conduct close intelligence exchanges and establish a military mutual trust mechanism. With regard to the Nanyang issue, which the two countries are most concerned about, China once again pledged to respect the sphere of influence of various countries in the Nanyang and prevent aggression, and at the same time to promote the opening of the door and expand economic and trade exchanges.

Portal development has always been a slogan shouted by the United States, and it is also a means for the United States to expand the market. China's proposal is just in line with the appetite of the United States, and Hull seems very satisfied, of course, the Americans will not be stupid enough to believe whatever China says, and at present it is just a greeting, and the real core issue will be decided by higher-level figures.

Hull visited Beijing for a total of seven days, exchanged views with all walks of life in the military and government, and visited Beijing's famous attractions, and Qiao Yu also told him before returning to China. An official goodwill visit to the United States will be conducted within three months.

The rapid warming of relations between China and the United States has made Japan extremely angry. From Japan's point of view, the cooperation between the two great powers on the east and west sides of the Pacific Ocean is undoubtedly aimed at Japan. The innate sense of crisis of the island nation has once again erupted.

A large number of well-known Japanese scholars went so far as to declare in the newspapers that China's behavior was a betrayal, that it was capitulating to the white people, that it had undermined the great cause of anti-colonialism in Asia, and that while watching its brothers in Asia suffer from the oppression of colonialism, China surrendered to the great powers at this critical moment, ruthlessly betraying the interests of various Asian countries, and seriously dampened the feelings of all ethnic groups in Asia.

Looking at Asia now, only Japan is qualified to lead the great cause of anti-colonialism and lead other countries to independence, and the Japanese government and military must overcome all difficulties and dangers under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor and strive for the future of Greater East Asia.

Naturally, these things are not something that the Japanese official dares to say, most of them are some folk scholars who stand up and shout, and what this kind of voice can play a role in is just fooling, fooling others, and fooling themselves, satisfying the vanity of the Japanese as the leader of Asia, but the void is still the void after all!

If you want to speak with weight, you must have more powerful strength, China Jingyuan is about to be launched at this time, Ningyuan has also entered the final stage, and at the same time China has begun to build a new class of aircraft carriers, and at the same time ocean-going submarines, in addition to these two, China has focused on long-range bombers, these things are the real killer features, and when necessary, they can shut up the island countries!

At this time, an invitation from Germany was also sent, hoping that Qiao Yu could visit Germany and deepen the cooperation between the two countries, and there was also a major plan in this, that is, to send the starting point to Germany.

Open buying and selling of aircraft carriers will never work, Britain and France are like watchdogs, staring at Germany to the death, if there is anything else to retreat, aircraft carriers will definitely not relax, after all, the Atlantic, the English Channel is the home of the British Royal Navy.

Therefore, the German side devised a plan, that is, to let China send the starting point to visit Germany in the name of a naval visit, so that it could break through the opposition of Britain and France, and then after the warship arrived in Germany, it would be under the protection of shore-based aircraft, and when the raw rice was cooked and cooked, it would be too late for Britain to object.

This idea is completely scoundrel's way, but it is also the only way to work, otherwise it would be impossible to get a ship of more than 20,000 tons to Germany.

And in Qiao Yu's view, Britain and France are robbers, and they should use rogue means to deal with robbers, and the Chinese side finally agreed to this proposal after research, of course, the two sides must also ensure that the action is concealed and do not leak the news.

As a result, the United States and Germany have become the destination countries of Qiao Yu's first state visit, the Chinese side is intensively preparing for the visit, and the Japanese government is also holding an emergency meeting, Qiao Yu's visit to the United States will inevitably promote close exchanges between the two sides of the Pacific Ocean, and Japan will be sandwiched between the two countries at that time, which will definitely be uncomfortable, and the Japanese government is still very worried that the two countries will reach a treaty against Japan.

Therefore, the Japanese government urgently formulated a plan of action, that is, to occupy as many islands as possible and expand its territory before China reaches an intention to cooperate, so as to create an established fact. Wait until China and the United States communicate well. Japan has taken the land into its hands.

Emperor Hirohito finally approved the plan after some consideration, of course, he knew that if he did so, he would offend China and the United States, but the ambition to expand its territory had overridden everything, and Japan had to have enough room to survive, otherwise it would be a dead end.

Soon the news broke that the Japanese side had captured a large number of Dutch spies in Borneo, and the media, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, would take the opportunity to stir up hype up again. Coupled with all the previous propaganda, the reputation of the Netherlands in Japan was completely discredited, and a large number of people took to the streets to demand that the government punish the Netherlands.

Relations between the two countries quickly fell to a freezing point, and Japan sent the light aircraft carrier Fengxiang to Java Island, and the situation in Southeast Asia became delicate again in an instant.

Japan had already played it once last time, and this time it took that attitude again. Obviously, it is the cowardice and incompetence of the Netherlands, bullying to the death, but the Netherlands has no friends to count on, the British Empire was already unreliable last time, and the Netherlands naturally has no confidence.

In addition, the only ones who still have the strength to stop Japan are China and the United States, and the relationship between the Netherlands and China is not good, and the United States is probably beyond the reach of the whip.

While the Dutch were at a loss, Japan's two large aircraft carriers, the Soryu and the Flying Dragon, had already left for the south from Saipan. Directly stationed in Machen. A sharp blade was already hanging over the heads of the Dutch, and war could break out at any moment.

Facing the fierce and vicious Japanese. The Netherlands is a lamb to the slaughter, helpless, and the Dutch government is constantly asking for help from the major powers.

At this time, the U.S. Congress passed a bill to impose trade sanctions on Japan, and Roosevelt issued a sternly worded warning, demanding that Japan must abandon its erroneous expansionist actions, or it will be unanimously sanctioned by the world.

Just after the United States made a move, China also followed suit with economic sanctions, and the close cooperation of the two major powers is undoubtedly to show the results of Hull's visit to China, and also to create a friendly atmosphere for Qiao Yu's next visit to the United States.

The essence of the content is not much, the United States sanctions do not include oil, scrap steel in the embargo list, and China also does not include food, coal and other materials, the two countries only restrict the products that compete with their own countries, to put it bluntly, in the name of sanctions, trade protection.

As soon as the cannon goes off, ten thousand taels of gold! The U.S. consortium also hopes to make war money, but as for China's mind, it is more complicated, China needs to be on strict guard against Japan, and it also needs Japan to attract hatred, especially now that the South Seas are gathered by various forces, Japan's action is just to clear the field.

The Chinese business community made a windfall in Japan's exploitation of Borneo, and this time it was the same, so instead of taking stronger measures to sanction Japan, Japan began to swell its confidence, with three aircraft carriers and a no-fly zone over Java.

At this time, Qiao Yu also took the aircraft carrier Zhenyuan and began his visit to the United States, and not long after Qiao Yu left China, Jiang Baili also sailed to Europe on China's first large aircraft carrier, and China's two aircraft carriers will finally converge in Germany.

The Chinese president and chief of staff visited the United States and Germany almost simultaneously on a powerful Chinese aircraft carrier, which was no less effective than the Great White Fleet of the United States, which undoubtedly swore to the world that a maritime power has officially stepped on the world stage, and the Chinese Navy is no longer satisfied with the sea area at its doorstep, but wants to embrace the broader ocean.

Zhenyuan slowly left the port of Tianjin under the escort of two cruisers and four destroyers, as China's first completely self-built warship, it can reflect China's shipbuilding level, the fully enclosed bow can easily resist the invasion of wind and waves, and a large number of activity facilities are arranged on the ship, and the soldiers are not too dull.

Qiao Yu can be regarded as having a rare time to rest and relax, looking at the calm Pacific Ocean, Qiao Yu's heart is constantly imagining, the Pacific Ocean will soon lose its peace, become a turbulent battlefield, and a new international order will be born! (To be continued.) )
