Chapter 527: The Final Madness and Collapse of the Postcolonial Era

Another round of economic crisis that broke out in the United States was centered on it, and its shockwaves soon spread to the whole world.

Britain is the first to bear the brunt and the country that has been hit the hardest apart from the United States.

The United States and Germany jointly sniped at the financial speculation industry of the United States, and Britain also participated, and even the countries that benefited the most from it. As a large old capitalist country, Britain and the United States are closely linked in the financial field, and can invest the most capital in the process. This operation to rob and harvest the United States while the fire is burning can be successful, and Britain, which has invested the most, will naturally also profit the most.

However, China, Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union are all just passers-by who passed by the "melon orchard" before the disaster and "casually picked a fruit to "satisfy hunger and quench thirst." The real biggest profiteers are the big conglomerates in the United States. After all, if foreign capital operates too arrogantly and openly in the United States, it will be sent off by the American referee with a red card.

The collapse of the US economy will also deal a heavy blow to Britain, but the British government is willing to bear the losses caused by this "seven wounds". First, because the British believed that a crisis in the United States was inevitable, they simply pushed the United States on this matter and took the opportunity to make up for themselves through this speculation. The second is that the United States still maintains the world's largest navy, which is too dazzling, and if the Americans are not tormented again in this matter, how can the British sleep well at night?

The Germans were the second to be hit, but Germany had been prepared for it before. One of the reasons why Germany previously gave Palawan and its surrounding waters to China was to take this into account. Increase the friendly relations between China and Germany, so as to grab more industrial orders from the new China, and help Germany avoid the next storm that will sweep the world.

The size of the U.S. economy is so large that the impact on Germany, which has an "export-oriented economic structure," is very huge. Although Hitler came to power, he did his best to change the direction of the German industrial goods market. However, the market share of the United States is still above that of China, after all, the market of New China has just started, and the demand is still very limited.

Fortunately, Germany is now a "moral" country, and under the strong intervention and regulation of the government, in the first year of the shock, although the share of Germany's exports has declined. But the situation is not too serious.

As for the other three countries in Eurasia, the Soviet Union and China, all of which are socialist countries, coupled with their planned economic system and minimal dependence on the American market, the only feeling in this turmoil is that it is time to prepare money and go to the United States to dismantle factories and move machines in due time.

As for Japan, after the end of the war in 1947, although there was an armistice between the United States and Japan. But how could the Americans, who regarded Japan as their sworn enemy, be so quick to "forgive" the Japanese, and trade between the United States and Japan fell to the bottom, and did not recover to a quarter of the pre-war level until the outbreak of the economic crisis. So the impact of this crisis on Japan's economy is not too great.

At this time, after the Red Revolution launched by Yamato Nadeshiko, the national living standards of the whole country were rebounding after a long period of suppression. After the supplies that Japan had plundered from the Nanyang colonies and Korea were shipped back to Japan, they were finally able to sell them to civilians at a "right" price. The standard of living of the people has improved dramatically compared to before the war, although the economic crisis that broke out in the United States has had a certain impact on Japan. But there is no discomfort among the people.

Throughout 1950, the Japanese government headed by Yamato Nadeshiko. The main headache was the colonial question. Three years have passed since the end of the Pacific War, and the two major socialist powers, the Soviet Union and China, have begun to "find trouble" with the colonial imperialist countries all over the world.

Yamato Nadeshiko very much wants to reconcile with China, but the current Japan, which is dressed in the skin of socialism, is actually a "four dislikes" with various chaotic economic systems and various political forces. Its "socialist" nature was not recognized by China and the Soviet Union at all. Pseudo-socialism, Japanese socialism, is what China and the Soviet Union have been talking about all day long to criticize Japan.

Although both countries had diplomatic relations with the Japanese government, the Soviet Union believed that Japan should carry out a more in-depth "revolution". Wash away the "feudal legacy" that is mixed with the current Japanese government. Although the Chinese side has stated that it will not interfere in Japan's internal affairs in line with the "Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence," it also believes that Japan's practices in Korea, the Philippines, and Dutch Indonesia are not at all worthy of being called a socialist country, and it has not been less than attacking Japan in terms of propaganda. It is precisely because of this factor that the Sino-Japanese alliance that Yamato Nadeshiko has always wanted has always had a thorn in it, and a certain distance has always been maintained between China and Japan.

-- After all, the leaders of the new China in this era are still very disciplined on this issue, and they are far from being like those imperialist countries, which can play "national egoism" without shame for the sake of interests.

In the eyes of the Chinese side, Japan was the "beneficiary" of the Pacific War, and the Japanese, who gambled heavily on the fortunes of the country, won the bet again with the help of the "Lin Han family." They even took advantage of the death of the emperor and the subsequent purge of the entire high-level Chinese family, and came to a beautiful turn to "change (crab)".

But that's not enough.

In New China after 1950, there was finally no longer a terrible bald eagle lying on its stomach at the door, but a "mud bombed chicken" that ate a little fat.

"It's time to make some trouble and bleed this fat mud bomb chicken!"

This was not only Lin Han's idea, but also the idea of China and even the Soviet Union.

In 1950, the United States was mired in an economic crisis, which was an opportunity for both China and the Soviet Union.

During the five years of the war, the Japanese expropriated and purged the population in the Philippines, and a large number of seedlings of resistance were cultivated. After the war, although the United States was forced to abandon the Philippines, it still did not add to the obstacles of the Japanese. The U.S. military and intelligence services have worked together to select and train fugitive Filipino refugees and former government officials, and have been training local rebels and guerrillas to be able to return to the Philippines through various channels after the war.

After Japan's discoloration in 1947, the oppression of the locals eased, but the nature of its colonization remained unchanged. In Yamato's view, although she knew that the traditional colonial era had passed, she still refused to give up the fat piece of the Philippines easily - as long as the benefits of colonization outweighed the costs, Japan could not give up.

Over the past seven years, the Japanese and the British, in collusion, have almost completely wiped out the indigenous people of the Medan region. During and after the war, the Japanese side continued to emigrate here. On several larger islands, such as Sarmat, Leyte, Negros, and Panay, the Japanese cleaned up and "forced migration" work. It also does not stop during and after the war.

In Yamato Nadeshiko's view, Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines in the future, will eventually be forced to give up due to the international trend, but these small surrounding islands can be completely included in Japan's pocket through the method of "people leaving the land and staying".

Japan is not alone in this, Britain is in Oceania and on the islands of Papua New Guinea. That's what we're doing.

Lin Han's two daughters, Artoria and Yamato Nadeshiko, know the future, and they both understand the truth of "people go to the land and stay", and the two of them have already left all morality behind for the sake of the future "luck" of their race.

During the past war, because of the war blockade. As well as the "false disregard" of China and the Soviet Union, the world does not yet know about this.

But after the end of the war in 1947. The two are still doing this, which is very glaring internationally.

After 1947, Artoria's "moving plan" continued. In order to make more room for the relocation of British immigrants from the mainland, the British did only 50 steps to do the dirty work in the Pacific compared to the Japanese.

The defeated Americans, standing on the moral high ground, attacked with all their might in public opinion propaganda against what the Japanese and British were doing in the Pacific.

In such a situation. What the Japanese did made China and the Soviet Union very uncomfortable, how could they be "intimate" with such a country?

From the beginning to the end, neither China nor the Soviet Union regarded the discolored Japan as their "socialist brothers." After 1950, in order to bleed this "fattened footpot chicken". China, the United States, and the Soviet Union announced economic sanctions against Japan on the grounds that Japan's actions in the Philippines were "humanitarian violations."

Not only that, but the three countries also began to dismember Britain under the banner of "opposing colonialism".

There are no eternal friends and no enemies, only eternal interests.

The reason why China and the Soviet Union united with the United States to put pressure on Britain was not because of what the British did in the Pacific, but because of the black oil, because of the Middle East.

In 1950, the Middle East, which represented the world's most important pipeline location for the next 100 years, was still firmly in the hands of the British, with the exception of Iran.

Neither China nor the Soviet Union, which knew the divine envoys, could tolerate Britain alone controlling the oil wells in the Middle East, and even Germany, which was currently "friendly" with Britain. After the war, the United States, which hated Britain even more, coincided with China and the Soviet Union on this issue. On the German side, Germany also could not tolerate Britain's control of the vast majority of oil-producing countries in the Middle East, and soon the Germans also joined the "accusation" of the Middle East under British control.

Three years ago, it was the Bald Eagle of China, the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, Japan, and the five major rogues of Eurasia who joined forces to PK the New World, and three years later, the situation became that China, the Soviet Union, Germany, and the United States joined forces to exert pressure on Britain and Japan.

"The Philippines must be restored!"

"Let the Middle Easterners be autonomous!"

"The Arab region is the Arabia of the Arabs!"

Similar voices began to sound constantly in the international community.

In East Asia, Japan, which is small and weak, was first subjected to the joint sanctions of China, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Europe, and the Chinese side took advantage of the Korean issue to continue to beat Japan, and secretly, the Chinese side even revealed the bottom line of the Chinese side to Yamato Nadeshiko through Lin Han: Japan must give up the right of independent autonomy to the Filipinos on Luzon, otherwise the Chinese side will make a big move on the Korean issue.

In this regard, Yamato Nadeshiko, who had secretly met with Lin Han at that time, was so angry that he cried, made trouble and scolded in front of Lin Han, and wantonly accused Lin Han of being ruthless in pulling birds, and turned his face after receiving benefits - in order to curry favor with Lin Han, when Japan changed color in 1947, Yamato Nadeshiko ordered the Japanese garrison in Kalimantan to abandon one-third of the territory and hand it over to the Republic of Lanfang as a price for buying Lin Han.

At that time, Lin Han said to his cheap daughter: "On the islands other than Luzon, the people have been almost killed by you, and they have eaten everything, and here I can intercede with the Chinese side." However, it is our bottom line that Luzon must be completely independent and self-governing and return to the political status quo before Japan entered it. ”

At this time, Japan was facing tremendous pressure from the United States in the east in the Pacific Ocean, and China and the Soviet Union in the west. In 1951, under the combined pressure of the three countries, he was forced to surrender Luzon Island, which occupies nearly two-thirds of the land area of the Philippines, and was forced to surrender several cities in North Korea to the newly established Republic of Korea.

On the other hand, the British are in a bad situation.

In the Iraqi region, the Iraqi king, with the covert support of the Soviet Union and Germany, made a request to Britain to withdraw its troops from Iraq. (Note: Although Iraq was an independent country at the time of World War II, it was still a British sphere of influence, and there were British troops stationed in the country.) So they once wanted to assist Nazi Germany in order to get rid of the British control. by Rashid. Ali. Agra led the Iraqi army in a mutiny in Habbaniyah, a suburb of Baghdad, on April 3, 1941, in an attempt to cooperate with the Germans to drive out the British forces in Iraq. Later, Wavell sent the 10th Indian Division to suppress it, and the German reinforcements were also wiped out by the British, known as the Second Battle of Britain, which avoided the terrible situation of German control of Middle Eastern oil. Later, the Iraqi government declared war on Germany, but did not send troops to enter the war. )

Although Germany had very few troops in the Middle East, it had little influence on the surface. But at this time, Britain's energy was all about "moving" and dealing with the economic crisis. Artoria also understood that it was impossible for Britain to monopolize all the oil interests in the Middle East and the Arab region. So he made a high-profile gesture on this matter and took the initiative to withdraw the garrison here.

Privately, Aralto and Hannah agreed that the British government would give up all oil interests in the northern Persian Gulf. But the Germans had to guarantee the oil interests of Britain in the southern part of the Persian Gulf, in the area of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

One sentence can explain the change in foreign policy of the British at this time: by abandoning Iraq, they took the initiative to give this piece of meat to the Germans, turning the enemy into their "friend", but this was a last resort......

Despite Artoria's efforts to keep Britain alive, Britain's global colonial system inevitably began to crumble in the fifties. (To be continued......)
