As the British Parliament convened all night, the Upper House and the House of Commons quickly agreed that the British Empire relied on the navy to dominate the world, and it didn't matter if the army was not strong, as long as the giant ships and cannons existed;

Therefore, the parliament agreed to allocate funds for the construction of four 'London' class battleships within three years, requiring a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, and a full load displacement of 55,000 tons of super battleships.

Because Britain's shipbuilding plan could not be concealed from others by a vote of the Federal Parliament, the day after the British Parliament passed the plan, the high-level leaders of several countries that had originally signed the naval treaty began to discuss the new battleship plan.

The Dunkirk-class battleships that France was originally building originally had three plans, and de Gaulle, who was still the president, also held an emergency meeting for two consecutive days, and their plans were almost resolute not to lag behind others in the British Empire, so the most advanced Dunkirk-class battleships under construction became second-rate battleships;

After learning that his allies could produce super battleships, the Italian Fat Man also quickly ordered his shipyard to start designing large battleships, as for whether they could be produced, he didn't want everyone around him to have super battleships and his fleet would be pulled out like a toy.

Lao Mei has not been committed to the development of warships, their current warships are backward warships, and they have been affected by the economy for several years, and a considerable part of their old warships have been forced to dismantle and dispose of them as scrap metal, but the current problem has made Roosevelt's scheming guy depressed;

There is constant discussion in the Parliament. Now that their colonies in East Asia had just been attacked by the Japanese, Lao Mi had built Asia's largest air and naval bases in Clark and Krabi in the Philippines, which constituted an obstacle to the southward advance of the Japanese army and threatened the security of the Japanese mainland.

The Japanese army attempted to capture the Philippine archipelago. Seize U.S. military bases, control the sea lines of communication between the Japanese mainland and Southeast Asia, and create conditions for attacking the Dutch East Indies.

The Japanese army planned to use the air force stationed in Taiwan to carry out an aviation fire assault to destroy the main force of the US air force stationed in the Philippines and seize air supremacy.

At the same time, with the support of the navy, the advance force landed at multiple points on Luzon Island and occupied the airfield, and the air force moved forward in time to ensure that the main force of the army landed in Lingayen Bay and occupied Manila; Occupy Mindanao, the second largest island in the Philippines, in the south. Subsequently, the north and south marched and occupied all the islands of the Philippines.

The Japanese forces that participated in this campaign included the 14th Army, commander Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma; The Navy's Philippine Campaign Joint Formation, commanded by Vice Admiral Takahashi Iwang. ten cruisers, twenty-nine destroyers, one aircraft carrier and three seaplane carriers;

The Fifth Corps of Army Aviation, commanded by Lieutenant General Hidera Xiaoice, with 200 aircraft; The 11th Air Force of the Naval Base Aviation, commanded by Lieutenant General Tsukahara 243. Three hundred aircraft. As well as about a hundred transport ships and auxiliary vessels.

The US-Philippine group in the Philippine Islands numbered 110,000 men, with Lieutenant General MacArthur as commander, of which 31,000 Americans and more than 270 aircraft, of which 142 were combat-ready. The U.S. Asian Fleet, commanded by Admiral Hart, with forty-five combat ships of the main type, coordinated with the group.

The Japanese killed nearly half of the planes in just a few days, forcing only a few B17 bombers of Lao Mi to retreat to Australia. In addition, even the airport was occupied by the Japanese army, and the entire colony of East Asia was to be occupied by the Japanese. The high-level shaking of the entire United States is huge;

Although the previously formed Pacific Four-Nation Alliance Command has decided to send troops to fight the Japanese army, far water cannot save the fire, and the explosive power of the Japanese army at this time is similar to that of the German army, the only difference is that the German army is using advanced weapons to complete the speed of the attack, but the devil is supported by greedy nature.

The top level of the United States calculated the situation in the Philippines, seeing that the Japanese army was advancing faster and faster, and the military preparations of the United States had not yet had time to be mobilized, Lao Mi could only let the colonial troops stationed in the Philippines continue to resist under the command of MacArthur, but there was no way for how long the free soldiers of the United States could resist.

Lao Mi's navy was alert at first after learning that the backward country in China had super battleships, they were not worried that the big warships in China were dangerous to them, and like other countries, they thought that only a few large warships would defend the coastal waters at most in a backward country like China;

Like any country with hegemonic intentions, their first consideration was Germany, which produced two large battleships for China, and Germany and Soviet Russia in World War I were both countries that provoked the World War, but the First World War was a colonial war;

The recovery of the German economy has made these vigilant Mi Guokees feel a little alarmed, and in the eyes of the navy, which is still in the infancy of aircraft carrier aircraft, the power of large battleships on the ocean is far more real than that of dozens of aircraft carriers with weak attack power;

If they could take off and land their B17 bombers on an aircraft carrier, maybe they wouldn't think so, but unfortunately that battleship can carry more than a kilometer of runway;

The joint meeting of the Ministry of Defense and the Joint Staff of the United States continued to meet and study, and finally reported a warship plan to Roosevelt, whose interests in the Far East needed to be protected, and absolute stability in the Atlantic also needed to be maintained;

According to the design requirements, each battleship needs at least 25 million US dollars, and four is 100 million, which is just the cost of manufacturing, and other auxiliary costs add up, which makes the recovery of the US economy have to add up a heavy burden.

To say that these countries are having a headache is spending money, the Japanese Admiralty and the entire government are shocked, it is an absolute shock, and the information analysis of the intelligence systems of other countries is the same, but the result they come up with is that they feel extremely painful;

They don't worry about the navy in Huaxia, but whose fleet is it, that is, they have always been extremely afraid of destroying the Japanese fleet, it will be troublesome, whether it is intercepted or not, the Japanese high-level began to study continuously and continuously all night, and even the production of large warships was put aside;

Because the group of warships that destroyed the Japanese army had already begun to enter the Strait of Malacca along the Indian Ocean, when they entered the South China Sea, if the Japanese Navy had not intercepted it, then this group of warships would return to their territory through the Treasure Island Strait.
