People can be wrong with their names, but they are never wrong with their nicknames, and the same can be said for evaluating a country.

Since the era of the Napoleonic Wars, the British Empire has been known as the-stirring stick in the world, and even after more than 200 years, in the 21st century, the hat of this "-stirring stick" has still not been taken off.

Although the British Empire was tormented to death by the Triple Alliance of China, the Soviet Union and Germany, and was forced to cede a large amount of colonial interests to the United States in exchange for support, the old and spicy John Bull still secretly kept a back hand.

This is Japan.

After three naval battles in the Norwegian Sea, the Royal Navy fell from the first place in the world to the fifth place in the world in just three months. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that no matter what the war turns out in the future, the British-dominated colonial system will fall apart.

However, as a veteran empire that had been "stirring up" for 200 years 40 years in the 20th century, the British Empire's "balancing policy" had long been cultivated.

With the navy completely wiped out, Britain's influence in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, can almost be described as a "vacuum". After being forced to sign the Washington Treaty, which was humiliating to the U.S. government, the occupation of Southeast Asia by the United States was almost a certainty. Although the current U.S. government is still "ashamed" to not swallow this land in the most ugly way because of treaty restrictions, it is only a matter of time.

The politicians of the British Empire, of course, were not willing to lose Southeast Asia so lightly. Although the United States is currently an indispensable and important ally of the British Empire, the British Empire also does not want the United States to swallow this piece of fat too easily.

Although the situation of Britain in Southeast Asia was bad, their greatest enemy in Southeast Asia, China, had a natural weakness: the navy was almost none. The right to supremacy of the sea is almost equal to zero.

No matter how much Red China "exports the red plague", the scope of its penetration in Southeast Asia is only limited to the Malay Peninsula. Bringing the Japanese into the Malay Peninsula was a trick that the British Conservative government came up with to make the Americans "uncomfortable."

Southeast Asia is the only one, and the weakened Great Britain and Ti have no say here, only many parties hinder each other. in order to reflect their "weight".

Even before the outbreak of the French War, the Conservative government began to think about this issue in secret. And after the Battle of Dunkirk, the British finally threw this incense bait at the Japanese in a hurry.

"The British are luring wolves into the house!"

Lin Han said to Hannah.

"This is exactly what we want, and your daughter must be happy now. It's really smart, if you introduce the Japanese into Southeast Asia, the contradictions between Japan and the United States will increase, and Cactus Ghana, he will not tolerate the Japanese putting their hands on the Malay Peninsula, a key place in Southeast Asia. ”

However, although the British government took the initiative to invite Japan to enter Southeast Asia to "help in the war", it still stubbornly held on to the key place of Singapore. It was just that a large area of land west of Singapore was assigned to the Japanese to "assist in defense". The British took the initiative to throw away the "stinky meat" of the Maya Peninsula that was difficult to keep, which suddenly made China, Japan, and the United States feel uncomfortable, and their natural-stirring skills are really amazing.

Britain's "wonderful move" is also a joy for Hannah. Once Japan accepts the "invitation" of the British to assist in defense, its influence will penetrate deep into East Asia, and the result will inevitably be an even greater conflict with the United States, which has long coveted this area.

Hannah said to Lin Han:

"In December last year, the Chinese side reached the Thai border, but you have been holding your ground for five months. It's been delayed for too long. ”

Hannah's complaint was to express her dissatisfaction with the "sit-down war" between China and the Soviet Union in the Asian theater over the past six months or so. In her opinion. The heads of these two countries were too cunning: Germany bore the greatest military pressure from Britain and France, while China and the Soviet Union, with a good hand of cards, remained inactive for a long time, refusing to help Germany share the pressure.

Lin Han sighed: "It is not easy for China to be willing to send troops to Vietnam and Burma at this time. On the Chinese side. The upper echelons consider this war to be an "imperialist" war, and there are many who oppose this kind of expansionist behavior with a clear imperialist flavor."

The issue of Thailand's borrowing has not yet been resolved, and there are many reasons, on the one hand, it is the pressure of Britain and the United States on Thailand, and on the other hand, it is the problem of China's own internal perception. Enter the Malay Peninsula via Thailand. This approach is too explicit, and the distance is too long, and the transportation and supply lines are too long. Considering the threat from the United States, as well as the overly sensitive and unfavorable operational environment here, the CCP upper echelons are not overzealous about this issue. At present, China's main military strength and attention are focused on the northeast of India.

Before the outbreak of the war in Europe, Lin Han had traveled to China and discussed with the leaders of the Chinese upper echelons about the strategic direction of the Asian war. In Chairman Lee Run-seok's view, the Indian issue is the main problem, and as long as the British's power in India collapses, the chain reaction will lead to the collapse of their power in Southeast Asia.

If it weren't for Li Huamei's successful undercover attack on Japan, which already has a strong ability to influence Japan's foreign policy, the British's plan of cannibalism between the two tigers might have succeeded, and the ideal state might even have achieved the effect of killing three soldiers with two peaches, causing China, the United States, and Japan to fight hard here in the Malay Peninsula.

So far, the British have invited Japan to enter the Maya Peninsula to assist in the defense, and this important piece of information is still highly classified, even hidden from Britain's ally, the United States. As for the news from Li Huamei's side, the Japanese upper echelons gladly accepted the "invitation" of the British, and preparations are now being made in Japan to send troops to the South Seas.

After the Battle of Dunkirk, Li Huamei returned to China on an intercontinental flight from the Soviet Union to China, and then secretly smuggled back to Japan from China. As soon as she returned to the "main body" of the Yamato and woke up, the British made the decision to hand over the Malay Peninsula to Japan for "assistance", and this important information was immediately transmitted by her. The German side received one, and the Chinese side also received one.

The defeat of France is already a certainty, and in half a month at most, Germany will be able to force France to surrender. As for the German Navy, since many large warships that participated in the French campaign need to return to the port for maintenance, the German Navy will not have large-scale operations until the middle of the sixties, so there is no need for Lin Han to help in the war here for the time being.
