Such a blunt and drastic action of the Germans inevitably had a chain reaction in the world. As far away as China in eastern Asia, Xu Jie did not personally feel the strength of the German High Seas Fleet, or after being familiar with the huge inverted F-shaped formation composed of 15 aircraft carriers of the United States in the Battle of the Mariana Sea in history, and the world's first fleet composed of 12 fleet aircraft carriers and 18 escort aircraft carriers of the U.S. Navy in Leyte Gulf, he was not very interested in Germany's super fleet composed of 8 aircraft carriers. The overall number of this German fleet was no less than that of the American fleet in the Battle of the Marianas.

"The southward movement of the High Seas Fleet is a very clear signal that Germany's preparations for war against Iran may have entered the countdown, and we must hurry. It was hoped that the British would deliver on their promise in the face of an aggressive German front. Xu Jie muttered to himself. History is not only the French who appeased and compromised. It can even be said that in the course of the rise of the Third Reich, the appeasement and compromise of the British were more lethal than those of the French, and it was the British who acquiesced in Germany's gradual rise to the occasion and even signed a new naval agreement with Germany without consulting France. And in this plane, the French have already coaxed, and although the British have a determination to fight to the end from the table, I am afraid that no one knows what it actually is. When the British are cornered, the former will naturally have no choice but to resist, but before that, the British are afraid that they will beggar-thy-neighbor, using the interests of China and Iran's national fortunes as bargaining chips to delay the progress of the Germans.

"We also have to speed up the expansion of the army, and the development of a new generation of aircraft carriers in the Navy must be accelerated, before that. We need to add two more 30,000-ton armored aircraft carriers, and secondary aircraft carriers also need to hurry. Before the Germans launched the Iranian campaign, we needed at least 2 secondary aircraft carriers. Other than that. Contact the British, we're going to take over Sumatra, which has been in the hands of the Dutch for too long. We can't wait. "The so-called fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond. The Germans' overly aggressive appearance not only succeeded in attracting the attention of China, but also caused unwarranted damage to their ally, the Netherlands.

At a time when all major countries are preparing to sharpen their knives and fight a game, no one will certainly take into account the reaction of a small country. When Huaxia was ready to bring the entire Indonesia of that plane into its control, the Netherlands was powerless to stop it. What do you say to make an excuse? This is too simple, Xu Jie even thinks that this kind of time is a waste of time to spend time thinking, leave it to the military and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they will take care of it.

Thus, one of the most immediate consequences of the German actions on China was that the Netherlands was about to lose its last colony. The military base in Huaxia began to extend further westward. Not only in the Strait of Malacca, after consulting with the British, Huaxia decided to start deploying air bases and logistics bases in British Burma, and would gradually accumulate supplies and ordnance after the base was completed, in case of emergency.

At the same time that China itself is stepping up preparations for war, China's preparations in Central Asia and Iran are also accelerating, the construction of base groups and transportation networks extending from Xinjiang to South Asian countries is accelerating, and the transformation and upgrading of Iran's ports along the Caspian Sea coast is underway. The pace of troop build-up is also accelerating. The construction of permanent fortifications in various parts of northern Iran has also entered a stage of rapid implementation with the injection of a large number of manpower and materials. Although the other party is very strong, Huaxia must fight this battle. Even if the British and Americans are afraid, Huaxia must resist! Others will not protect China's interests, and for the sake of China's future Middle East strategy, this battle cannot be avoided!

In this world, it is not only China that stands firm against the Allies. On the other side of the Atlantic, the fledgling young nation trying to compete for world hegemony is also determined to win or lose with the Allies. The actions of the Germans, full of ostentation and provocation, could deter the British and terrify the French. But for a real first-rate power, it can only play the role of provoking, and China cannot watch the Allies behave recklessly in Iran and South Asia. In the same way, the Americans will not back down for the sake of their own interests.

Unlike the protests of the British and the silent preparations of China. The United States fought back against the Germans both verbally and in deeds. "In 1918, Germany and his accomplices took large areas from the Russians, turning Ukrainians, Poles, and Estonians into slaves of the Germans. Two years earlier, the Germans, together with their accomplices, had carved up Italy, a country that had helped Germany in World War I. And now, just a few days ago, the most vicious hounds under the Kaiser have broken the cage of the North Sea, baring their sharp claws to threaten Britain and France. We can imagine that their conquest will not end until Germany has taken the whole world under their control. What should we do? Is it to bend your knees and beg for mercy or to strike hard? Defend the peace of the world and the freedom of the people with blood and fire? I think anyone with a conscience and a sense of responsibility will make the right choice. Roosevelt's impassioned speech was transmitted to every corner of the world with the airwaves, and as the speech was broadcast, the United States began to make comprehensive preparations for the imminent outbreak of war.

Americans' actions are not just words. Roosevelt, who was passionate, first pushed Congress to pass a new military expansion plan of up to $2 billion, which included the construction of three Essex-class aircraft carriers and three Independence-class aircraft carriers, the expansion of the army, and the procurement of new weapons. And at a meeting, Roosevelt accidentally learned that in Iran's sea-based aviation procurement bid, the American F4F fighter not only lost to the British Spitfire, but also made the other party describe it as an obese and muscular stupid duck, the president who had not slept well for several days finally broke out! During the meeting, he mercilessly criticized the incompetence of the US military industry. He even threatened: "If the United States' own military industry cannot solve these problems, he will not mind importing a large number of British and Chinese weapons and equipment!" Although the threat of this sentence is far greater than the reality, it is a wake-up call for major arms dealers. If an arms dealer is kicked out of the circle because of equipment performance problems, he will be bankrupt or acquired.

And the actions of the Germans also had a very negative side effect on themselves, and the German threat inadvertently became the glue of relations between China and the United States. You know, as a power of equal status, as a big country with the same ambition to dominate the world. In the past, the cooperation between the two countries can only be regarded as decent, and the relationship is not bad, but it is definitely not close. The intrigue between the two sides is definitely not a minority. And this time it's different, no matter what, China and the United States still directly hang the sign of an ally. Before Germany and the Allied bloc fell, there was nothing more important than defeating the enemy in front of them. Especially. Especially after other allies showed signs of backing down and fear.

When a group of people meet a pack of wolves in the wilderness, the best allies of the strong are not the weak ones who usually have the best relationship with them, but the same strong ones, the relationship between them may not be harmonious, but as long as they have brains, they will not make a move to delay at the critical moment, if they are smarter, then the cooperation between them will be very pleasant. It is clear that the French will not have much of a role to play in the future war against the Allies, and it is still unknown how much the British will be able to play a role. The only country that the United States can rely on is China, and in the same way, China's most reliable ally is only the United States.

The direct mutual assistance between the Americans and Huaxia is not just lip service, and the Americans have agreed to provide Huaxia with more drilling equipment so that Huaxia can achieve self-sufficiency in oil as soon as possible. Huaxia also agreed to provide the United States with 400 Type 29 tanks and related maintenance equipment. This unit will temporarily replace the gap left by the U.S. Army's new generation of M4 tanks before they leave the factory. However, to the surprise of the Americans, when the American arms dealers came to the barracks with freshly baked M4 tanks, the officers and men of the American armored forces did not buy it very much.

"These tanks with gasoline engines are too easy to catch fire, and they are inferior to the Type 29 tank in terms of defense and firepower, and this tank is almost useless compared to the tanks we have used for 2 years." Patton, who fought in both the Italian and Iranian wars, ruthlessly rejected the M4 tank and firmly opposed the surrender of the Type 29. Put on a picture of what I just don't give, what can you do with me. Well, in wartime, the officer who can fight is always the most open. So the final result of this matter is that it is over, of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

I have to say that the British in World War 2 are still very capable of fighting, and the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets for hundreds of years has made these British troops still majestic. Both historically and in this plane, the British have not given up on the pursuit of the dream of the empire of the past. Especially when the most important piece of the British Empire was facing a threat, the British clearly realized that it was impossible to hold India by their own strength alone, and they knew that they should hug the thigh of China while hugging the thighs of the United States, after all, the former was not interested in land warfare in South Asia. Large-scale army battles still have to rely on themselves and Huaxia. So the British immediately offered a better price. The R&D work and information on the next generation of the Morin engine, the Gryphon engine, will be shared with Huaxia. Even the extremely confidential research and development industry of cloud-piercing radar and jet engine is not impossible to talk about, when he thinks of the famous Nien engine in later generations, Xu Jie is excited in his heart. Compared to Nien, the Germans' JUMO004 is a pile of rags!

The only one in this alliance who feared and flinched was France. However, at this time, France was also unable to retreat, and it was impossible for the French to bow down to the Germans. Even if they retreated, they could only fight the Germans when there was no way back.
