Chapter 227 Defeat before fighting
Don't order it yet, I'll change it in ten minutes, it's an anti-piracy update
"Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods."
Faced with the emperor's inquiry, Li Huamei suddenly remembered this sentence. Japan's current predicament has been clearly visible to her in the past two months.
"Your Majesty, no matter how strong I am, I can't win against the whole world. No matter how strong the empire is, even if the empire is preparing to negotiate a new alliance agreement with Britain, it is impossible to win against China, the Soviet Union, and the United States. ”
What Li Huamei said is precisely that British policy has recently extended an olive branch to Japan, and it has taken the initiative to sign a second Anglo-Japanese alliance agreement with Japan, in addition to dealing with the threat from Germany, which is becoming more and more powerful in Europe, but also to suppress the rising China.
Unlike Japan, which was rampant in the middle of the two countries, the British suffered enough in the 1936 war of intervention against China, and they realized the threat from China earlier than Japan. Although Germany was rapidly rising strongly, a single English Channel and a navy with a huge gap between the two sides were enough to make Great Britain "feel safe".
But China is different.
China and India, the crown jewel of the British Empire, are closely linked, and once the war breaks out in Europe and Britain is unflawed, as long as China "exports revolution" to India like the Soviet Union, then India will never be at peace. Not to mention the possibility of China directly sending troops to Burma and entering India. Although China is a backward country, the British saw the shadow of the Soviet Union and the Germans in the 1936 war.
As soon as the war broke out, the thought of arming China at the same time as the Soviet Union and Germany. With tens of millions of People's Liberation Army (PLA) flooding into Myanmar and then into India, the Downing Street parliamentarians are not at peace. In the war of 1936, the Soviet Union and Germany joined forces to support the Chinese revolution behind the scenes, which had already made Britain see the terrible shadow of the Red and Brown Alliance.
In this Anglo-Japanese alliance treaty, the British even pulled the French in, ready to sign the so-called Triple Alliance Treaty, tying the interests of the three countries together. The reason why Japan has not yet signed this treaty is because of the poor economic situation in Japan, and Japan has asked Britain and France to open their colonial markets to them. It was agreed to consider acceding to the treaty. And the British suffered heavy losses because of China. In addition, he was sniped and slaughtered by the United States, the Soviet Union and Germany in the securities market, and he was desperately trying to draw blood from his colonies to replenish his vitality, where was he willing to open the market lightly.
The idea of the British was "simple", it was nothing more than asking Japan to help suppress China in East Asia. Once the war between China and Japan is rekindled. The British Empire could provide Japan with arms loans and supplies. But the British Empire sent troops to help, which was basically impossible.
And the idea of the Japanese is just as realistic, it is nothing more than that you open the market to me. As for whether Japan will take responsibility for Britain in the event of a war in Europe in the future, it will depend on our mood.
After the war in 1936, both Britain and Japan were hit hard, and now they have to "huddle together for warmth", but unfortunately both sides have not been happy in this kind of huddle. Japan does not see a rabbit and does not scatter eagles, Britain is a delusional white wolf with empty gloves, and both sides want to only take advantage of the convenience and not take responsibility.
At this time, the attitude of the Americans is very subtle.
Historically, with the help of the Washington Naval Treaty, the Americans finally broke up the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Now that Britain and Japan are talking about an "alliance" agreement, the Americans should have seriously opposed it. However, after seeing the posture of China, the Soviet Union and Germany joining forces, as well as the current "embarrassment" of the British and Japanese governments, the Americans, who inherited the British Empire's idea of "balancing continental policy," also had the idea of "stirring up" in East Asia.
Privately, they expressed to the Japanese side that they could support Japan on the Tohoku issue.
In 1936, before China's foreign shipping was completely blocked, the U.S. government took the opportunity to sell a large amount of fuel and chemicals to the Chinese Communists. If there was no gasoline in the United States, the planes of the Chinese communists would not have been able to fly at all, and the situation of intervening in the war would have been completely different.
At that time, the Americans did this in order to deal a heavy blow to the British colonial system. With the founding of New China, the United States has also gained certain benefits from this strategic goal after accomplishing this strategic goal. However, more than these interests, the Americans also value the "continental balance policy." In the eyes of the Americans, New China was too close to the Soviet Union and Germany, and the momentum of its rise was too fierce to be restrained, so the Americans only showed a limited "vigilance" against the realignment between Britain and Japan.
Britain and Japan were now devastated by the 1936 war, and the two countries will put a lot of pressure on the expansion of American interests in the Pacific Rim. But the United States also has a biting dog in Europe -- Germany. With Germany pinning down Britain in Europe, what is the Anglo-Japanese alliance? Compared with the Japanese, who were so poor that they did not even have the money to build new ships, the Americans were more wary of Red China, which has a population of 460 million.
The most interesting part of the history of World War II is here, which affects the whole body, and the interests of countries conflict and entangle with each other. If you curry favor with one party, you will inevitably offend the other. It is not very strange that yesterday was a friend, and it is not very strange to become an enemy today.
Li Huamei said to the emperor: "I am not the only god in this world, and because of the huge gap in the population base, the one in China, his ability is above mine. Moreover, even the gods, in terms of the general trend of the country, can only take advantage of the situation and follow the trend, but cannot go against the trend. After all, human affairs have to be solved by human beings themselves, and what I can do is not as big as His Majesty imagined. I can only put the most important chip in the key moment, and that's it. ”
The emperor was silent.

But China is different.
China and India, the crown jewel of the British Empire, were closely linked, and Britain was distracted by the war in Europe. China only needs to "export revolution" to India, as the Soviet Union did. Then there will be no peace in India. Not to mention China's direct military presence in Burma. Possibility of entering India. Although China is a backward country, the British saw the shadow of the Soviet Union and the Germans in the 1936 war.
As soon as the war broke out. The Downing Street parliamentarians could not dream of a flood of the Soviet Union and Germany arming China at the same time, and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) flooding into Burma and then into India in tens of millions. In the war of 1936, the Soviet Union and Germany joined forces to support the Chinese revolution behind the scenes, which had already made Britain see the terrible shadow of the Red and Brown Alliance.

Li Huamei said to the emperor: "I am not the only god in this world, and because of the huge gap in the population base, the one in China. His power is above mine. And. Even the gods, in terms of the general trend of the country, can only take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the trend. And not against the trend. Human things. After all, it will be up to humanity to solve it themselves. What I can do is not as big as I imagined. I can only put the most important chip at the crucial time. That's all. ”
The emperor was silent.
