Time flies, and after the dazzling changes in the European battlefield, the Japanese invasion of Southeast Asia was a heavy wake-up call for other countries in the world. It seemed that Britain and France were really behind. The Japanese army almost marched straight in, and they did not encounter any decent troops in Southeast Asia.
resistance.
Ships and trucks of supplies began to be transported from Southeast Asia to Japan.
During this period of time, Zhou Weiguo was just doing his own thing quietly, and then preparing for a war with the Japanese later. After seeing the situation in Southeast Asia, Zhou Weiguo also understood why the system said that the Japanese could recover in this year.
Reason. Japan's industrial base is already top-notch in Asia, and with sufficient resources, the Japanese can produce unlimited amounts of war equipment.
On October 19, Chiang Kai-shek issued a "Hao Dian" ordering the New Fourth Army south of the Yellow River to withdraw to the north of the Yellow River within a month.
After receiving the news, Zhou Weiguo fell silent. Is it true that some things are inevitable? Even if it takes a long time, it will still return to its original trajectory?
Zhou Weiguo rubbed his eyebrows. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. This is an old truth. Now that the power of the Communist Party is developing faster and faster, and it is getting more and more support from the people, I am afraid that Old Chiang Kai-shek is really afraid. If he is not afraid, Old Chiang Kai-shek
You won't do such a thing again and again.
The Japanese are still eyeing the country and occupying large tracts of territory. Here, Chiang Kai-shek is again preparing to suppress the Communists.
Zhou Weiguo really didn’t know what Chiang Kai-shek was thinking? Didn’t he see that the Japanese had plundered so many resources in Southeast Asia? There was clearly a foreign invasion, but they still did such a thing!
Liu Yuan also looked at the telegram and remained silent. In his opinion, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was not worth mentioning in the face of the national crisis. But if the national crisis eases slightly, people who were teammates one moment will start stabbing you the next.
, this feeling is really not pleasant.
Zhou Weiguo also felt uncomfortable because he knew the development of history. It is true that he did many things, but some things remained unchanged.
…
Japan, Tokyo, Imperial Palace.
Emperor Showa has been in a good mood recently. After signing the Axis Treaty with Germany and Italy, Japan has become unstoppable in Southeast Asia. The supplies brought back, including rubber, oil, metal, etc., are almost filling up the original warehouses.
The big factories are working overtime again, manufacturing war equipment and preparing for the next invasion.
"Your Majesty." Konoe Fumimaro was summoned and greeted Emperor Showa.
"Yoshi, Konoe-kun, how are your recent profits?"
"Very good." Konoe Fumimaro was also in a good mood. Seeing the supplies and grains being shipped back one by one, he finally had more money and could start some plans.
"Hahaha!" Emperor Showa laughed, "I have to say that Germany is really the lucky star of our Japanese Empire."
"Hey!" Konoe Fumimaro also thinks so. If Germany hadn't defeated France and held back Britain, Japan would not have taken action in Southeast Asia at this time. Even if they have been coveting it for a long time, they still have some awareness of their strength.
.
"The Chinese Kuomintang has begun to oppose communism again." Emperor Showa continued to say with a smile.
"Hi!" Konoe Fumimaro also nodded relaxedly, "So, it is a correct approach not to put pressure on the Chinese appropriately, because when the external pressure is gone, the Chinese themselves will be in chaos, and there is no need for us to
The Japanese Imperial Army takes action. At this time, the Imperial Army should set its sights on Southeast Asia, the golden land."
"Yoshi! Konoe-kun is right!" Emperor Showa nodded, "Thankfully, our Empire of Japan is united from top to bottom!"
"Hi! Thanks to His Majesty's wise guidance." Konoe Fumimaro smiled, "I will help people continue to deepen their exchanges with the Kuomintang!"
"Yoshi!"
"Although the independent division is very powerful, it cannot control the disputes between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party." Konoe Fumimaro smiled, "Moreover, over the past period of time, the National Government led by Kage Sasaki has recruited nearly ten soldiers.
There are more than ten thousand. According to the feedback, the training is quite good." Originally, when Wang Jingwei established the puppet national government, he accepted seven divisions and an independent brigade from Ren Yuandao. Later, the Japanese advisory department was handed over to the puppet government.
The so-called Imperial Association Army has seven brigades and one regiment. Most of these miscellaneous troops have insufficient numbers, extremely poor equipment, low morale, and no discipline. Now, the Japanese are not only training these people, but also recruiting new troops in the name of the puppet government.
Then train it.
"Yoshi! Well done!" Emperor Showa felt like he was floating when he walked, "Continue the current national policy! Step up the development of Southeast Asia! Loot resources! Speed up development!"
"Hi!"
There is an old saying, "Golden Belt for Murder and Arson". It can be seen that the fastest way to get money and resources is to plunder. Especially when the plunderers are the army of a country, they are like machines and unstoppable. Therefore,
, the Japanese are so addicted that they really can’t stop. The simple way of getting money and resources makes them soar.
In the eyes of the Japanese, as long as things continue like this, when the ship is strong enough and the cannon is powerful enough, anyone will kneel in front of them and tremble.
Berlin
The recent failure to attack Britain has made Hitler very angry. He did not expect that after the Luftwaffe paid such a heavy price, the British Air Force could still fight back. Although it had already been decided on October 12 that the "Sea Lion Project"
"Postponing to the spring of 1941 actually gave up the plan to land in Britain. The so-called postponement was just a cover to hide the fact that the German high command had already decided to invade the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941. Naturally, it was impossible to attack Britain again, but
The situation in Britain made Hitler feel very bad.
"Your Majesty the Führer, Britain only has so much territory after all. There is not much difference between defeating Britain and not defeating Britain for our German Empire." Göring stood next to Hitler and advised, "War is never just about winning or losing.
"
Hitler took a deep breath, then nodded, "I understand."
On October 28, Italian troops invaded Greece.
I have to say that this year has been a very exciting year. The changes in the world situation in the past few months have made people confused and frightened. The war seems to have begun to spread to the whole world, and it seems that there is no place.
, can be safe. In addition to the few countries that have remained neutral, there is also a well-known big country, the United States of America.
In November, the temperature in North China begins to drop, entering late autumn and even early winter.
Zhou Weiguo got up early in the morning, stood outside the door, looked at the hoarfrost on the grass in the courtyard, and frowned. It turned out that another year was about to pass? With a sigh, Zhou Weiguo walked to the cafeteria.
