Chapter 256: Adding fuel to the fire (1)

On 12 December, when the US fleet engaged in a fierce armed confrontation off the coast of Natuna, members of the Chinese embassy in the Netherlands in Western Europe got up early in the morning to find that the entrance of the embassy was surrounded by countless white people.

The Dutchman in front of the embassy shouted "Down with the Bolsheviks!" "Evil Red China, die!" Journalists from all over the world who rushed to hear the news were even more fortunate to take a very commemorative photo in front of the Chinese Embassy in the Netherlands.

A few young Dutch people held aloft a huge placard with a few square words crookedly written: Fight Chinese imperialism.

This scene, which only appeared in Japan or Southeast Asian countries after the 21st century, was staged in the Netherlands in the 40s of the 20th century in advance because of the appearance of the traveler Lin Han.

If Lin Han was lucky enough to be here, seeing this scene, he would definitely be unable to help but vomit: "I am relieved to see the motherland so rogues." ”

On the same day, in addition to the Chinese Embassy in the Netherlands, the British and Japanese embassies in the Netherlands were also full of Dutch people who spontaneously protested. Although the Dutch were turned miserably by China, Britain and Japan, fortunately, the upper-level leaders were quite rational and did not excessively indulge in the protests of the people, and the embassies of the three countries did not suffer much loss except for being thrown with countless garbage and smashing a little glass.

In the face of the joint division of the three families, but the resistance of the Dutch finally stopped there.

The crisis in Dutch Indonesia and Western Asia, which occurred in Southeast Asia, completely ignited the fuse of the contradictions between Britain, the United States, and Japan. But it will take some time before the wire burns to the end.

In the last month of 1941, the world's attention was focused on Dutch Indonesia and Western Asia. On 12 July, after the US Navy suffered humiliation in the waters off the Natuna Islands and was forced to withdraw by Britain and Japan, on 15 July, US President Wilkie personally ordered seven main warships, including aircraft carriers, and dozens of auxiliary warships to be stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, to be dispatched at the port of Manila in the Philippines.

For a time, the smell of gunpowder rose sharply throughout East Asia.

At this sensitive period, the Japanese side sent a secret envoy to No. 10 Downing Street to secretly contact them, and began to open up their hearts and discuss with the British the topic of British and Japanese joining forces to attack the US Navy in the waters of the western Pacific. For the Japanese, in the future Pacific War, it is naturally the most ideal scene to be able to pull the British into their chariots to deal with American ghost animals.

However, the British, who were at the forefront of Europe and were under pressure from both the Soviet Union and Germany, had the courage to challenge the Americans at this time. The British received the "good intentions" of the Japanese, but they only wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and to use the hands of the Japanese to make the Americans bleed, and in the course of the Anglo-Japanese negotiations, the British kept saying that the British Empire would show "goodwill" neutrality to Japan in the future conflict between Japan and the United States, but they did not mention the topic of soldiers helping Japan in the war.

Li Huamei also knew the characteristics of the British Empire's "-stirring sticks", and she did not expect the British to personally go to war with the United States. She just wanted to take this opportunity to ask the British for more benefits and covert support.
