Chapter 705 706 Shaken NATO

Japan's surrender not only surprised the world, but also created the "illusion" that the United States was finished, and even allies like Japan, who were almost blindly obedient to the United States, surrendered to Shanghe in order to reduce their own losses before the war came to their doorstep. Even the Americans themselves have lost the courage to continue fighting, which explains why the US troops in Japan have also surrendered to China.

The whole incident directly accelerated the panic in some countries, especially NATO countries, after the Japanese battle, the United States showed its fatigue and the defeat became clearer, so that some countries that already felt that there would be no way out by following the big brother of the United States could only think twice.

France was the first country to "think twice". As one of the most important members of NATO, France's power cannot be ignored and has always been a very valued partner of the United States. However, France is also a country with a fairly independent consciousness, and at the same time, this country was the first Western power to officially recognize China after the founding of New China. Relatively speaking, the resentment between France and China is not large, unlike the large number of economic and trade disputes between China and the United States, and even China became an important trading partner and source of tourists for France before the war.

Following the United States in the war against China has in itself aroused a lot of complaints in France, believing that France is cutting meat to maintain its alliance, and that France has spent hundreds of millions of dollars, killed and injured people, and what it has gained may not be worth it at all. As a result, when France began to see that the United States and NATO were fighting against China and the SCO and that the future was bleak, the originally anti-war and pro-China forces in France jumped out to mediate and lobby, and at the same time, the political circles and the people also carried out in-depth reflection and finally came up with the answer -- withdraw from NATO, stop the war, and at least maintain neutrality, so that France would not exhaust the last drop of blood in this war that would not ultimately benefit, or even be conquered and ruled.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry and the SCO Council welcomed and affirmed France's actions immediately after France's statement to withdraw from NATO, and the Chinese Foreign Minister even said at a press conference: "In the future world, we can imagine that France will still be a great power worthy of respect and plays an important role, and China and the SCO also look forward to more cooperation with France in the future." ”

France's move was rewarded with China's goodwill, the Chinese air force no longer conducted military reconnaissance and limited strikes against France, and the Chinese army, which was already advancing to the German-French border, also stopped, creating a buffer zone that would give France a basic sense of security.

But the United States has become an ant on a hot pot at this time, and diplomats are constantly flying across the Atlantic, going to Paris, meeting with French diplomats, and the Americans are doing their best to try to save France, but this is obviously impossible. France has even ordered the French Foreign Legion and other troops in the North African theater to board ships and evacuate the battlefield, and French warplanes sent to other regions have left their bases and returned home without saying hello to the United States.

Even, in order to hinder the departure of the French army, a skirmish broke out between the US and French troops, and finally the US Department of Defense personally called to inform the French not to leave the French, which can be regarded as a temporary solution to the problem.

In any case, France's mind is like water spilled, it is irretrievable, France has officially withdrawn from NATO, and the curtain has come to an end in this world war in which it is not the protagonist. NATO, on the other hand, has suffered a heavy blow, not only by losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers prepared by France, and by the lack of an important ally with a key position, but also by changing the minds and confusion of the entire NATO inside.

For a time, small NATO countries, including the Netherlands, Denmark, and Portugal, also followed France's routine and threw an olive branch to China, although they did not choose such drastic means as France and directly announced their withdrawal from NATO, but these countries also intentionally or unintentionally reduced the intensity of their participation in the war, and were ready to withdraw from the war at any time.

If George W. Bush had ever watched movies and television in China, he would have said: "The people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead!" ”

Even, after France, Spain withdrew the Spanish troops fighting in the North African battlefield from Libya on the grounds that the troops needed to rest, but the troops sent to replace them in the plan did not set off for a long time, and it seemed that they were also preparing to abandon the United States, at least choose a path that would not harm the two sides.

That is, Britain, a younger brother country that does not deal with China very well, and has even fought a war with the Nanyang Chinese to establish a state, and has always maintained a close alliance with the United States, is desperate to save face, unwilling to have private contact with China, and discusses the possibility of abandoning the United States. The situation in Britain may be roughly similar to that of Japan, which could not accept a country that they had looked down on in the past and now sat on their heads and was in power.

The Red Guard Corps sent by Qi Yiming swept through Europe like locusts, and one European city after another was destroyed in the flames of war, and was crushed by the iron boots of the sickle-hammer-headed soldiers, and the whole of Europe trembled.

In October 2002, just after China's National Day, the Red Guard Regiment marched forward and occupied all of Italy. Although Italy had mobilized all its forces to counterattack China, and the United States had tried to provide Italy with all necessary help, in the end the Italian army could not resist the sharpness of the Red Guard.

Especially after France's declaration of neutrality, Italy lost aid from the French direction and became more isolated, and the Chinese Navy's Mediterranean Fleet has gradually achieved control of the Mediterranean, making it increasingly difficult for Italy to get assistance from the Mediterranean. Eventually, unable to continue resisting, the Italian government submitted a surrender to the SCO coalition forces in Sardinia, becoming the second NATO country to formally surrender to the SCO after Japan. (Although the previous South Africa and India were on the verge of extinction, the government-in-exile was still functioning and had not completely surrendered.)

Similar to the situation in Italy, Poland saw hundreds of thousands of mechanized Red Police Corps gallop across the Polish plains like wild horses, and Polish troops were crushed like chickens and dogs. It didn't take long for Poland to have its cities, but important cities had been captured, and the Polish government had to go into exile in England.

Half of Germany had also fallen, and although German resistance was far more resolute than that of Italy, Poland and the like, it was not fruitful. In the operation of the large corps, Germany has not given birth to war geniuses such as Rommel, Guderian, Rundstedt, Manstein and so on during World War II. There is nothing innovative in the use of German tactics and battlefield operations, they are relatively dull and blunt, and they are particularly easy to be seen through by Chinese generals, so it is inevitable that the Germans will always fall into passivity on the battlefield.

Although the Germans fought several beautiful counterattacks, which also caused certain losses to the Red Guard Corps, looking at the map, it can still be understood that Germany's land is being eaten away little by little, and the German Wehrmacht has not been able to change the fate of Germany's conquest and occupation in the end.

At this time, something even worse for Europe appeared, the Kurdish army broke through all the way to the west, opening the passage north of Ankara to the Turkish Strait, which means that the SCO has connected the Middle East and Europe on land, and through the Eurasian land bridge Guò, the SCO can transport more soldiers to Europe, completely flattening the forces that still dare to oppose the SCO.

The Siberian Army, the Central Asian Army, and many more new armies from China proper, totaling 1.2 million troops, began to use the land bridge as a passage to Europe. At this time, Europe itself is already in the upper hand of the SCO coalition forces, and the total size of the Red Guard Corps and several coalition forces is also 4 million, plus more than 1 million will arrive soon, there will be 5 million SCO coalition troops in Europe, which has put great pressure on the Europeans, and some countries that are ready to neutralize or change their host countries have to act at this time and speed up the pace of secret negotiations.

The Netherlands and Belgium are both countries that want to remain neutral, and in the negotiations with China, they each said that they would leave the country in a dignified way, and they also demanded that China not invade them, and even provide some assistance. The two small countries even wanted to copy the example of France, asking the Chinese army to set aside a buffer zone for them in order to maintain and stabilize the situation, and all kinds of other harsh conditions were listed.

However, the representatives of the Chinese military directly said harshly during the negotiations: "The capture of the Netherlands and Belgium will not abolish the strength of five or six group armies, it will not take more than a month, we need a window to launch air strikes or even landing operations against Britain, we cannot sit idly by and watch two grandfathers sitting there, so that we cannot use the airport and other facilities, and what safety distance must be kept for them, you diplomats must know one thing, any conditions you get from us are given to you by the Chinese, Because if we want to take it, we can do it. ”

Such domineering remarks directly frightened the representatives of the Netherlands and Belgium, and eventually the Netherlands and Belgium announced one after another
