() Japan declared war on China, and the Chinese government immediately declared war on Japan. As soon as China declared war, the Soviet Union also officially declared war on Japan. The two camps were finally going to fight a world war worthy of the name.
"Stalin is really cunning. When he declared war on the Soviet Union, he probably wanted to take back the areas around the Sea of Okhotsk, including the Kamchatka Peninsula and other Japanese-occupied lands. If he didn't declare war and waited until China took over all these areas, the Soviet Union would have nothing to do with it.
!”
Jiang Baili revealed Stalin's thoughts with one sentence, and Qiao Yu also saw through this step. In fact, the Soviet Union was in extreme danger at this time. The German army had already approached Moscow and the two sides were fighting to the death. Stalin was still thinking about the Pacific region at this time.
This shows that this is a figure with a long-term strategic vision. The three giants in history stand at the pinnacle of human power. Now it seems that none of them are good...
"Brother Baili, how are the border negotiations with the Soviet Union going?"
"Stalin has sent Molotov to negotiate, and an agreement has been initially finalized. Central Asia is bounded by Lake Balkhash and extends to the north and south. China has gained 130,000 square kilometers more land than the actual control line. In addition,
The Far Eastern Republic will also extend part of it to the west to expand the buffer zone. In addition, the Soviet Union also promised not to station armed forces within 100 kilometers of the border. The two countries have established an effective border communication mechanism and any military movements exceeding 500 people are prohibited.
We must inform each other, and the ministries of defense and foreign affairs of the two countries have established direct contact hotlines to maintain communication at all times!"
According to the theory of geopolitics, major countries need a certain buffer zone to ensure peace. Two-ocean countries such as the United States have no problem, but natural neighbors like China and Russia do not have such good luck. Anyone involved
Issues at the border between the two countries must be handled with extreme caution. Establishing effective communication and avoiding miscalculations are of great significance to both countries. ..
Of course, China was able to gain sufficient advantages by conducting border negotiations while the Soviet Union was weak. Qiao Yu was relatively satisfied with the result.
"Brother Baili, now that the border issue has been initially finalized, our supplies to aid the Soviet Union can be sent out, but there are some restrictions. We must let the Soviets shed more blood!"
Of course, China would not use the best things in aiding the Soviet Union. For example, most of the food, such as grain, was purchased at low prices from the United States during the Great Depression. At that time, the purchase of this grain basically only cost some freight. Now it has been calculated.
After more than ten years, it was time to eliminate them, so they were naturally shipped to the Soviet Union as aid supplies.
In addition, there are cars, airplanes, tanks, machine tools and other materials. China will do some tricks on these things. For example, when armored forces are fighting, logistics supplies become very important. There must be enough transportation vehicles, providing fuel, transporting maintenance equipment, etc.
wait.
China was playing tricks on these trucks. It increased the failure rate so that the Soviet Union could not advance quickly. In this way, it could only slowly be consumed by the Germans. Moreover, this kind of tricks could not be seen by the Soviets. It can only be said to be two things.
China's natural environment is different, and Chinese cars are a bit acclimated.
This is especially true for other weapons. This is not only done by China, but also by the United States. It even goes further than China. Although everyone is in the anti-fascist camp at this time, everyone knows that once the war is over,
When countries lose a common enemy, they will immediately become competitors or even enemies, so it is very normal to secretly act.
The biggest black hand of China's manipulation is in drugs. During the Spanish Flu, China developed sulfonamide drugs. In addition, isatis root also became very popular in the world, which suddenly established China's position in the field of medicine. Later, China
A patent for penicillin was also registered.
Finally, a few years ago, China solved the problem of large-scale industrial production. Now China is the largest producer of antibiotics. A large number of soldiers are injured every day on the Soviet-German battlefield. There is a huge demand for antibacterial drugs such as penicillin, and the Soviet Union
The domestic production capacity is limited and can only be imported through China.
China has received a secret order to increase the toxicity of the penicillin exported to the Soviet Union to a certain extent, so that some Soviet wounded soldiers can be quietly eliminated. Veterans who have been injured on the battlefield often become part of an army.
The more damage they do to the backbone of the Soviet Union, the weaker it will be, and the war in Europe will last a few more years.
After officially joining the war, things were complicated. Qiao Yu had to deal with all aspects of the matter. Fortunately, China's political system is relatively mature and all departments can operate efficiently. Therefore, Qiao Yu only needs to set a tone and others can take care of the rest.
se is completed.
What Qiao Yu is most concerned about now is the war in the South China Sea. China's four aircraft carriers are heading south, and the target is the Japanese fleet. Although Qiao Yu has enough confidence in the Chinese aviation force, there are too many surprises on the battlefield, and the outcome is often the result.
In the blink of an eye, even the best commander cannot guarantee complete control of the battlefield situation.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the South China Sea Fleet, Shen Honglie, was like this. He was looking for the Japanese aircraft carrier on the vast sea. The sea area near the Strait of Malacca was not very wide, but the Japanese navy could not be found for a long time. Shen Honglie was very puzzled.
It is absolutely impossible for our navy to disappear out of thin air, nor will we abandon our hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. Where are they?
In fact, the Japanese aircraft carrier is replenishing supplies in the Pontianak area. Due to the continuous operations in Singapore, the material consumption on the aircraft carrier is very serious. In addition, due to the large-scale dispatch of the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese side is wary. They are unwilling to use their precious aircraft carriers to communicate with shore bases.
The Air Force fought hard.
Moreover, Japan also clearly knows that Chinese aircraft carriers will inevitably move south, and the aircraft carrier battle is the key this time. Therefore, Japan decided to transfer two aircraft carriers to Pontianak, which is backed by Borneo, which Japan has been operating for a long time.
The powerful shore-based aircraft force can cooperate with aircraft carrier operations. In addition, Japan has also transferred the Zuihe and Xianghe over, hoping to concentrate its forces.
Shen Honglie had been focusing his search near Singapore. Naturally, he did not find the Japanese aircraft carrier. Shen Honglie knew that it was probably a mistake in his judgment. He immediately decided to change his mind and not search for the Japanese aircraft carrier at all. Instead, he ordered the entire fleet to sail eastward.
, heading straight for North Borneo.
North Borneo was a British colony two months ago, but now it has fallen into the hands of the Japanese. It was originally an important oil-producing area in Southeast Asia. The Anglo-Dutch Shell Oil Company established a large number of oil wells here to attack the Japanese.
Here, the British did not even have time to destroy these oil wells, and they all fell into the hands of the Japanese, which greatly improved their oil problem.
Shen Honglie's target is these oil wells, which are the lifeblood of Japan's navy. As long as he attacks here, he is not afraid that Japan will not come to the rescue. By then, Japan's aircraft carrier can be lured out.
The South China Sea Fleet dispatched the first wave of attack aircraft, a total of thirty-six fighters and eighteen bombers, exactly three squadrons. This number is not very large for the South China Sea Fleet, which has four large aircraft carriers. China's The target is Japan's aircraft carrier, so naturally enough aircraft must be left to protect the aircraft carrier.
Even though China only dispatched eighteen bombers, all of them were equipped with napalm bombs. For oil refineries, there is no better weapon than napalm bombs.
The refinery has a large number of pipelines, cables and other items, as well as a large number of oil storage tanks, refining equipment, etc. These items are all flammable and explosive items. As long as they get a little spark, they will cause irreparable consequences. Not to mention the specially produced napalm bombs.
The so-called napalm bomb is usually made by adding a thickener to gasoline. The basic charge of the napalm bomb is made of a mixed aluminum soap of naphthenic acid and fatty acid as a thickener. Some are used to deal with targets in the water. , you can also add some active metal calcium or barium, etc. These active metals will react chemically with water to generate hydrogen to accelerate combustion.
Germany developed flamethrowers during World War I, and the Chinese Army was also equipped with a large number of flamethrowers, which also played an extremely important role in the attack on Ryukyu. In these years, China has made great efforts in the development of incendiary bombs. Research has never been relaxed. Japan has always been China's imaginary enemy. Due to frequent earthquakes, Japan has a large number of wooden houses. The most effective way to deal with Japan is incendiary bombs.
The napalm bombs originally prepared for the Japanese mainland will be tested in North Borneo this time. When the Chinese fleet appeared over Borneo, the Japanese were immediately alerted. They sent a large number of aircraft to intercept, but Due to production capacity, Japan's Zero aircraft was the first to be equipped with the naval aviation. The army aviation also has a large number of old biplanes, and the quality of the pilots cannot be compared with China's.
Therefore, they can only cause some trouble for China. Chinese fighter jets can quickly solve these troubles, and the bombers are much faster than these Japanese aircraft and can easily get rid of their interception.
The Chinese aircraft fleet finally appeared in the sky over Sarawak. Below is the oil refinery. After the first batch of napalm bombs were dropped, it had an amazing effect. The scattered sparks quickly spread throughout the entire factory area. Many Japanese oilmen who had just arrived here Workers also tried to extinguish the sparks, but it was obviously of no use.
Once the napalm bombs burned, it was difficult to deal with them. Some Japanese people were even stained with sparks. They were constantly afraid of being hit, but they didn't know that the flames were getting more and more intense, almost covering them all. Some people tried to roll on the ground, but it was too late. It was useless, and in despair, the Japanese man threw himself at his companions around him, and soon the two of them were burned into black coals.
At this time, the refinery also exploded violently, and in an instant a prosperous factory turned into a sea of flames. News of China's air attack on the refinery soon became known to the Japanese side, and the aircraft carriers Soryu and Hiryu had to fight between Zuihe and Zuihe. The Xianghe was dispatched before it could arrive, heading towards an unknown battlefield. (To be continued.)
