After all, Japan's national strength is far inferior to that of the United States, and it is difficult to produce many important weapons and equipment on its own, so if it can get the covert support of the British and provide key materials, it will be able to release more blood from the Americans in the future Pacific War.

In the last month of 1941, just before Christmas, the vice president of the German Nazi Party, Rudolf Brown. Hess, at the behest of Führer Hitler, made a secret visit to Britain.

Hess brought Chancellor Hitler's "goodwill" and hoped that Germany would form an alliance with Britain against "the American ghost animals living on the other side of the Atlantic."

In order to curry favor with the British, the Germans were the first to recognize the "interests" of several large colonial islands forcibly seized by the British government.

Of course, in this era, the contradictions between Britain and Germany were not much less than those between Britain and the United States, and the British government unceremoniously fought back the olive branch extended by the Germans. But the British government saw from this incident that since the Anglo-American war, the Germans are unlikely to be on the side of the United States.

At a time when both Japan and Germany were expressing increasingly strong anti-American tendencies, the British government was already secretly discussing the topic of unilaterally abolishing the Anglo-American Washington Accord.

However, in December, the British government had just eaten the Indonesian region, and it was in the process of "digesting", and it did not dare to go so far for the time being. The best-case scenario for the British, of course, was for the Japanese to declare war on the United States immediately, and the British government could easily rescind the agreement when the attention of the United States had been drawn to the Japanese.

However, the Japanese side, due to the influence of Li Huamei, was very aware of the mentality of the British government at this time. They took the initiative to collude with the British, of course, they did not come to be the Japanese Lei Feng. It is purely to reap more benefits before the war with the United States. In this war with the United States, Japan's strategic goal is to seize the Philippines after annihilating the U.S. Navy, so that the U.S. Navy can be completely expelled from East Asia.

Similar to the British. The Japanese side, which has just seized several large islands in Indonesia, also needs time to digest its territory, so in recent months, it has not been able to turn against the Americans for the time being.

In addition, Japan's diplomatic exchanges with Germany, the Soviet Union, and even China are continuing to seek support from all sides. Even the Soviets, who currently have no conflict of interest with the United States. It is also glad to see Japan and the United States at loggerheads.

Under the secret plot of the Lin Han family, the establishment of a secret united anti-American camp from Europe to Asia is taking shape.

The great drama that took place in the last month of 1941 was spent in the laughter of China, Britain and Japan, the crying of the Dutch, and the anger of the Americans.

The year entered 1942, on January 1 of that year, that is, the fourth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. On this day, in the former residence of the Dutch City Government in Pontianak, on a temporary rostrum, the representative of overseas Chinese, Lin Han, the leader of the Xuanjun Sect, dressed in a traditional Lin Han, stood on a high place and faced the microphone. Solemnly proclaiming to the whole world: "The Republic of Lanfang, which has disappeared for nearly half a century," announced its restoration today. And this newly established country was named: Lanfang Socialist People's Democratic Republic.

At this point, a new member has been added to the big socialist family.

The brothers of the socialist camp of New China, the Soviet Union, and Germany all recognized this newly established Chinese state at the first time.

And what surprised the whole world the most was that Japan, China's feud, constantly sent special envoys to participate in the founding ceremony of the Republic of Lanfang. It was also recognized for the first time that this country was built in the South Seas, and diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level were soon established between the two sides.

With Lin Han's character, he was originally very reluctant to stand at the forefront and serve as the head of state NO1, he just wanted to be a master of a white paper fan. However, the backbone members of this Southeast Asian overseas Chinese organization established by Lin Han are all too young -- except for a few people. The big votes are all "young people" in their thirties. Almost all of the older people were people sent by the CCP in New China to help.

The newly established Republic of Lanfang can be said to be the youngest country in the world with the youngest leadership team.

The main reason for this factor is that after the Northeast Incident in 1932, when Lin Han began to recruit talents and establish his own organizational group, almost all of the talents recruited and reused were students in their early twenties. Because of his hobby of using the young and not the old, and Lin Han has always deliberately pulled out these students who he regarded as his confidants, the average age of the backbone of his organization is really frighteningly young. People like Wang Yaqiao and Dai Yunong, who joined later, are already very rare.

Lin Han has always wanted to find someone to sit in the position of the big dragon so that he can hide in the background and command remotely, but when the founding of the People's Republic of China, he found that his subordinates could not find a "replacement" with enough prestige and fame to sit in this position. He didn't want to sit in this position, but his left and right subordinates, including a cadre of students, all unanimously recommended him to the position, and in the end he could only be reluctantly "added to the yellow robe", ascended to the rostrum, and passed the addiction of "founding emperor".

This newly formed Republic of Lan Phong has Pontianak as its capital. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it had an army of 20,000 people, hundreds of artillery pieces, 20 tanks, and more than 40 aircraft, with a total population of about 1.6 million, of which 1.3 million were Chinese, including overseas Chinese who had "immigrated" from various "immigrants" during this period, and support from the mainland of the motherland. Its territory was "dug up" from the island of Kalimantan in Dutch Indonesia, with Pontianak as the center, and about 50,000 square kilometers of land around it. Compared with the old Lanfang, the newly established Republic of Lanfang temporarily included only a small corner of the western part of Kalimantan, and compared with the Lanfang Kingdom that was destroyed by the Dutch, there was a big difference in location and area. As for the Brunei region, it was still under British control at this time, and it was still a British colony.

The establishment of the Republic of Lanfang was "supported" by the Japanese, and the scope of the territory was discussed with the Japanese side in advance. The Limhan side occupied only a corner of the western corner of Kalimantan, and the rest was occupied by the Japanese.

On the same day, in front of the former Pontianak city government, the newly established Republic of Lan Phong held a brief military parade. First of all, thousands of PLA troops, carrying British-made Lee Enfeld rifles on their shoulders, neatly passed the guò rostrum and waved to Lin Han standing on the stage in salute.

This was followed by eight tanks from China Support No. 2 rumbling past the rostrum, followed by artillery trucks pulling artillery. and a patchwork of cavalry infantry and so on. The biggest highlight is the latter part of the parade. There were also twenty HE112 fighters whizzing overhead.

Compared with the military parades played by those big countries, the military parades held by Lan Fang, a small country, made Lin Han, as the protagonist, feel bad in the process of participating. When he raised his hand to salute the troops on the rostrum of Tongguò, he always recalled the childish scene he saw on the Internet before the crossing of those "small monkey countries" in Southeast Asia. He himself has become the head of state of such a "small country", and a similar military parade is being held.

After the establishment of the Lanfang Republic, the first decree promulgated by the "head of state" Lin Han was the universal military service system, implementing the "military nationalism" of all the people being soldiers, and requiring all young men and women of school age in the Lanfang area to receive military training as long as their health permits.

In terms of weapons, New China provided more than 30,000 Lee Enfield rifles to the Lanfang Republic in one go -- all of which were captured from the British during previous wars. Hannah, on the other hand, also supported more than 70,000 Lee Enfelds. This is, of course, the spoils of war in Europe. As for the British-made Bren machine guns and Lewy machine guns, there were also hundreds of them. Neither British-made weapons belong to the mainstream of equipment in China and Germany, and for both of them, these weapons are redundant, just for Lin Han to use.

Not only that, but New China also transferred the domestic production line of British-made rifle bullets to Lanfanglai. After the end of the war, New China was in the process of unifying the caliber of weapons and ammunition, and the British caliber was being eliminated.

After Lin Han obtained these weapons, he used the grassroots organizations he had established earlier, as well as the help of pro-China parties. The rifles were soon distributed to grassroots militia groups. 、

New China's greatest support to the Republic of Lanfang was not to send tens of thousands of PLA troops to help build the country and stabilize the local situation. Instead, a large number of cadres were dispatched to help Lin Han establish a local grassroots organization. Today, half of the regular army of the so-called Lanfang People's Liberation Army are "veterans" from the mainland of the motherland. Although Lin Han had been preparing for the founding of the People's Republic for ten years and had secretly cultivated a large number of talents, he still felt that there was a lack of talents at the beginning of the establishment of the Lanfang Republic. It all relied on the support of a large number of cadres sent by New China. Only then did a relatively stable national system be erected.

As far as the regional form is concerned, the international form of the newly formed Republic of Lanfang is a quasi-dangerous situation.

Britain and Japan, the neighbors on the border, are mortal enemies, and if it were not for the fact that the Japanese side, under the inducement of Li Huamei, was trying to start a war against the United States and seek to seize the Philippines, the situation would have been even worse. Fortunately, Japan also has a soft underbelly, and "North Korea" is in China's hands. I am not afraid that the Japanese will turn their faces and start a war here, and it is the British who need to be wary of it for the time being. Fortunately, there are a lot of jars and jars in the homes of the British, and the consequence of this is that the British colonial system in South Asia, India, and Burma will suffer a new round of "revolutionary export" from New China.

For this newly formed Chinese state, Lin Han's current positioning is to turn him into the "Israel" of Southeast Asia. Use 100,000 Lee Enfield rifles to build a military force that no one dares to ignore. In line with the CCP's army-building methods, we should build a strong grassroots militia organization that can mobilize more than 100,000 troops at any time once the war breaks out. Unless Britain and Japan tear their faces and raise the strength of the whole country to attack, it will not be a problem for the Chinese to protect themselves here.

After the establishment of the Republic of Lanfang, the new Chinese side began secret negotiations with Britain and Japan.

The content of the negotiations is all related to the armed forces of the Republic of Lanfang.

Fools know that the current main force of the Lanfang Republic, which was established in a lightning flash, is all from the People's Liberation Army of New China. Although there are only a million people in this country, they can theoretically expand their army here "casually" to 100,000, 200,000 or even more as long as they need -- in the eyes of Britain and Japan, the Republic of Lanfang is simply a vest clone arranged here by New China.

After the end of the European war, the British, who had suffered heavy losses, really did not want to re-operate the Tomahawk in Southeast Asia. The establishment of the Republic of Lanfang was like a sting nailed to the back of the British, which was really uncomfortable. This stinger can't be pulled out, and it's uncomfortable to plug in, not to mention how uncomfortable it is on the British side.

As for the Japanese side, because the key point of North Korea is in the hands of the Chinese side, it can only acquiesce to China's "state-building" behavior here, and the Japanese have grabbed nearly 10 times the land of Lanfang on Kaliman Island, and the profits are even greater. However, the Japanese side also does not want to see Lanfang continue to be armed without restrictions, so as not to waste too much of its military strength in this unnecessary direction.

When all three parties have scruples, they can only sit down at the negotiating table in the end.

In March 1942, after lengthy discussions and negotiations, New China, Lanfang, Japan, and the United Kingdom reached an agreement in Singapore. The agreement sets a ceiling for the three regular armies to be armed in the Kalimantan area. The British and Japanese armies were 30,000 each, while Lan Fang was 20,000. Lin Han was also very satisfied with this. It is impossible for a "small country" with a population of just over one million to maintain a large garrison for a long time, and New China does not have so much money to invest overseas. 20,000 regular troops is also the limit of Lan Fang. After the treaty was signed, Lin Han listened to the advice of the new Chinese side, and instead took the initiative to reduce the strength of the regular army to 15,000 men. The reduced military spending was used for grassroots militias.

The most sensitive shipping security issue for the British is that because Lanfang is facing Singapore and stuck in the South China Sea shipping lane, the British side has asked for restrictions on Lanfang's naval construction. After discussion, the People's Republic of China agreed not to build a naval base in the Lanfang area, and the Lanfang State only maintained a small force of torpedo boats and some small armed patrol ships to combat local pirates.

Regarding the point of less retraction, Lin Han did not have much opinion. He also believes that the current navy of the new China is too fragile, and it makes no sense to do too much on this topic. If you really want to make enemies with the British here, no matter how many surface ships there are in the national strength of New China in the past, they will not be opponents for the time being. Instead of wasting material resources to obtain "psychological comfort" for the navy, it is better to save military expenses and use them in places like frogmen and water ghosts. Once the war starts, it can be better results through the means of special operations.

From the perspective of the strategic form of the Lanfang area, it is of little significance to maintain too many regular troops in peacetime, and the establishment of a strong reserve militia grassroots organization system, with all the people as soldiers, is the key.

In order to prevent emergencies, after the successful founding of the country, Lin Hantong Guò Hannah brought another batch of captured British-made weapons from Germany to stock up in case of emergency.

At this point, the feast of China, Britain and Japan to divide the Dutch colony has finally come to an end.
