531 The United States entered the war

81_81266 Of course, Japan will not only attack Pearl Harbor and end hastily, just when Japanese planes are raging at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army is like a beast that has been suppressed for a long time, and begins to storm the Philippine and Malaysian areas. Read the full text of the latest chapters, with you all the way!

This was not a small fight, as Japan dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops from four armies into the rainforest in one go and launched an attack on the American defenders in these areas. The local American defenders held out for only an hour before being defeated by the well-prepared Japanese troops.

Originally, the troops stationed by the United States in the Philippines were not elite, and the war broke out too suddenly, so after the nearby American ** team was attacked by the Japanese Army, it was like the Navy at Pearl Harbor in a mess, and those fortifications that cost a lot of money to build were handed over to the enemy before they could be used.

In the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, the small and resilient Japanese army was obviously more combative than the American troops, and the armored forces that were not in their favor could not be deployed in this land, so the Japanese army was more comfortable and attacked.

The Japanese army's training concept of fighting and precision shooting was more vividly played in the tropical jungle, and the Japanese army seemed to have found the courage and feeling of the year in the tropical rainforest.

Even when looking at the groups of American prisoners of war squatting on the side of the highway with their heads in their hands, many Japanese army officers had a strange thought: Shouldn't they have listened to the Germans back then, and went to fight Mongolia's Nomenkan, and wouldn't they have to lose face in front of the navy if they came to Southeast Asia earlier?

So a strange thing happened, a US ** team equipped with truck howitzers was chased and killed by a Japanese army on bicycles and carrying grenadiers, abandoning city roads, rubber forests and oil fields along the way, and routing all the way to the rear of Australia.

However, on May 3, 1938, the day after Pearl Harbor, the President of the United States delivered a speech declaring war to Congress, and on this day, the world war broke out, and all the world's major countries were involved in the war on this day, and no one was spared.

Roosevelt was in the position of the speech, and was helped to stand up by the secretary, and he stood strong on his disabled legs, allowing the sweat on his face to drip like raindrops. He knew that whatever he insisted on would come in the days to come, and he was confident that his ideas would protect America and win the future.

So he insisted on standing and insisting on using his spirit to inspire all the American people. On this day, the American people were excited, and on this day all the discordant voices were drowned out by the word war, and the United States had never been so united in preparing for a war, and had never been so eager to win a war.

In the past, the United States remotely controlled other countries to fight, and even did not hesitate to stretch out their black hands in the back, those were a few people to play and arrange wars, this time the United States finally wet its shoes because of walking by the river all the year round, it was slapped twice by Japan, a small projectile country, and joined this world war that did not know the outcome in anger.

In front of countless flashing lights, under the gaze of countless people, Roosevelt delivered his war speech, and everyone knew that after this speech, the pattern of the world would change, and everyone knew that their motherland would join the war after this speech.

After what seemed like an hour of waiting, President Roosevelt slowly opened his mouth and made a dry sound. He didn't rest after the attack, and an hour ago he was still sorting out the report on the damage to the United States at Pearl Harbor:

"Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and House of Representatives:"

"Yesterday, May 2, 1938, this day of shame must always be remembered. The territory of the United States of America was subjected to a sudden and deliberate attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force...... History will prove that Hawaii was so far away from Japan, and that the Japanese attack was orchestrated over many days or even weeks. During this period, the Japanese Government deliberately deceived and confused us with false statements and expressed its desire to continue to maintain peace!"

"Yesterday, the Japanese government has launched an attack on Malaysia!"

"Yesterday, the Japanese army attacked Guam!"

"Yesterday, the Japanese army attacked the Philippine Islands!"

“...... Hostilities have already existed. Needless to say, our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger! But our entire country will always remember the nature of this attack against us. No matter how long it takes to defeat this premeditated invasion, the American people must win an absolute victory with their own righteous forces!"

"Trust that our armed forces rely on the firm determination of our people! We will surely win a great victory, and God help us! I ask the Diet to declare that there has been a state of war between the United States and the Empire of Japan since May 2, 1938, when Japan launched its unprovoked and despicable attack!"

"America, we will win!" he said, putting away his speech and standing on the high platform, looking at the reporters and congressmen in front of him.

"The United States will win!" everyone shouted slogans, and the US Congress unanimously approved the decision to declare war on Japan. From this moment on, the United States of America became involved in the war, fighting to the death with Japan on the other side of the Pacific.

"China and the United States have formed an alliance to wage an all-out war against Japan in the Pacific theater. The British royal government-in-exile in Iceland joined the Sino-American alliance, and the French government-in-exile declared war on Japan. In order to prevent Japan's expansion in the Pacific, the Four-Thing Alliance was formally formed. "In the New York Times, the latest news is frantically reported in bold letters.

Surprisingly, the reaction of the Axis powers seemed to be more violent than that of the beaten United States: the head of the Third Reich, Accardo Rudolph, personally published an article condemning the war crimes committed by Japan in the Far East and announcing the end of the alliance agreement between the two countries. Subsequently, the Italian head of state, Benito Mussolini, also issued a statement announcing the severance of diplomatic relations between Italy and Japan at the ambassadorial level.

Accardo was really helpless, and he had almost caught up with the saddest thing in his life. What does it mean to be unlucky? That is, there is a god-like opponent on its own path, and there is more than one such opponent standing in the way of Germany, and Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union are stronger and more domineering than the other...... What is more unlucky? It is a pity that while facing a group of god-like opponents, there is also a group of pig-like teammates, Italy, Japan, and Germany have all caught up.

If Germany is to advance, it will have to challenge one god-like opponent after another, and even Accardo cannot change this. So when you can't choose an opponent, you have to think about how to choose your teammates, and it is obviously in everyone's interest to kick a person who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough defeats to go out.

This matter was almost unanimously agreed within the Axis powers: Italy was playing with the remnants of Britain in North Africa, and of course did not want the American ** team to appear on the battlefield on a large scale, and for Mussolini, the Japanese were "looking for trouble" for him. Similarly, Turkey, another powerful ally, feels that it is very unwise to provoke the Americans in advance when everyone is reaching out to the Middle East.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Axis powers are not willing to tear their faces with the Allies with the United States in charge, at least until they have carved up the interests of the Middle East region, and do not want the United States to appear as a hostile country, so these countries would rather reform Japan and leave the Axis than suffer the consequences of being forced to declare war with the United States.

Subsequently, at the urging of the base camp, Japan's Tenhuang issued a manifesto, calling on Germany to be a dishonest country and calling on other members of the Axis group to resist Germany's criminal dictatorship.

Of course, if you count the Axis powers: Vichy France, Ireland, and Britain in the north, which have just reaped the benefits of North Africa, and Turkey, which has only been a few days after joining the Axis, and Romania, which is almost wearing a pair of trousers, who will listen to the fools of an Asian dwarf?

So a situation that made people laugh and cry really appeared in front of everyone: on the one hand, the Axis powers did not want Japan, and on the other hand, the Allies were ready to seek revenge on Japan.

However, Japan is Japan after all, and when it was cornered, it shouted a slogan that made Britain gnash its teeth to "liberate Southeast Asia", and after the First Sino-Japanese War, it vigorously denied that it was the Great Japanese Empire of Asian countries, and this time it even selectively lost its memory, insisting that it was helping the people of Southeast Asia liberate their own country from the hands of European colonizers, and established a large number of dazzling client states in one go.

Japan first formed an alliance with the puppet Manchurians and Korea in northeast China, and then formed an alliance with Vietnam, a former French colony, and Burma, a British colony, and also came to a five-nation alliance called the Greater East Asia Bloc. Of course, the slogan of this Greater East Asia Group is the shameless phrase "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity".

It is a pity that for the major powers in the world, this newly rising group can be used to describe the puppet army of about 2 divisions since Myanmar fell into the hands of Japan, Vietnam is also about the same strength, and the Korean and puppet Manchurian forces do have it, but it is enough to compete with the third-rate Italian troops for the penultimate combat effectiveness in World War II, which really reassures the Japanese senior officials.

However, in the midst of the boos, a new world pattern was established in mid-May of that year.
