Compared with Roosevelt's complex temperament, Churchill these days is simply synonymous with depression. These days, Churchill almost always spends these days in the office like a lion trapped in a cage, swinging his fat body back and forth. My whole brain was about to turn into a ball of mush due to depression.
Regarding the current world situation, Churchill is helpless and helpless. Neither Britain nor the Allies saw much hope in Churchill's eyes. However, Churchill still had to preach his belief in victory in front of others. This feeling almost drove Churchill crazy.
Since the end of May 1940, when the German Allied forces were surrounded by German troops near Dunkirk and finally had to surrender, Churchill's life has never been comfortable.
2. Three hundred thousand of the most elite British troops were defeated in one battle on the European continent, turning the so-called British Empire's desire to protect Poland into a worldwide joke. Hundreds of thousands of troops and countless logistical equipment not only failed to cause trouble to Germany, but instead became supplies to support the Germans.
Subsequently, Germany¡¯s air raids on Britain caused heavy losses to British basic industries. Many heavy industrial cities in the UK have become scarred.
Although the British army fought several beautiful battles against Italy on the battlefield in North Africa, it almost defeated the Italian army.
But such good days did not last long. In the spring of 1941, when the German North African Army entered the North African battlefield under the leadership of Rommel, the handsome life suddenly became difficult again. In the desert, he fought against the fox-like Rommel several times, and suffered heavy losses each time. Although the entire army had not collapsed yet, the battle line was shrinking more and more.
Fortunately, little Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in the summer of 1941, dragging the United States, a country with huge war potential, into the war. Starting in the autumn of 1941, well-equipped U.S. troops began to send troops to the North African battlefield. In this way, North Africa The situation has been somewhat stabilized.
However, the war in North Africa had just entered a period of tug-of-war. As the German army gradually increased its troops on the North African battlefield in 1942, the British and American coalition forces gradually became unable to withstand the situation, forcing the United States to significantly increase its troops on the one hand. On the other hand, the British army is always accused of ineffective combat.
What worried Churchill even more than North Africa was that Britain's traditional power in South Asia was in danger of total collapse. The withdrawal of troops from Ceylon had already greatly embarrassed Churchill. However, Ceylon was a small country after all, and it was considered independent. Although they knew that this was the result of special forces behind the scenes, the UK could not find any evidence. Secondly, the UK had no way of pursuing the case, so it suffered a loss. However, there is still an explanation on the surface.
But in the autumn of 1941, the Japanese army began to send troops to occupy Indochina. After first driving away the armies of France and other Western European colonial countries, the Japanese army began to attack Burma, India and other traditional British colonial powers.
At the beginning of 1942, the entire Burma was occupied by the Japanese army. By the summer of 1942, the entire eastern part of India, including Bangladesh, had fallen. The British army was retreating steadily on the Indian battlefield. Although the British army stationed in India still occupies India. Most areas, however, are really in a precarious situation and are in danger.
What made Churchill even more depressed was that starting in June, Britain, the United States and other countries, through a lot of diplomacy and behind-the-scenes work, finally allowed China, a powerful military force, to send troops to Burma and other regions. However, when China actually sent troops, it surprised the world. .
Because it is not that the Chinese army is not strong, but that the Chinese army is too strong. The 200,000 Japanese troops in Myanmar were completely annihilated almost in an instant. In less than a month, the originally very fierce Japanese troops in Myanmar were completely wiped out. Like ants, they were wiped off the face of the earth by the Chinese army, leaving almost no trace.
The performance shown by the Chinese troops cannot be described as happy by the American and British allies.
Therefore, these countries still had many interests in China a few years ago. In modern history, China has been squeezed a lot. Therefore, it is difficult for anyone to judge whether China will become the enemy of the United States and the United Kingdom like Germany did when it has the power to become an enemy of the world.
The uncertainty of the future direction of China's great army alone cannot make Churchill so depressed. What makes Churchill most depressed is that the Chinese army only annihilated all the Japanese troops in Burma this time, and also pushed the army into Bangladesh. However, they ignored the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in eastern India.
This made the Japanese army, which had lost all its logistical support, turned into a mad dog that had been getting anxious, biting everywhere in India, making the remaining British troops in India even more dangerous. If this situation continues to develop,Whether the U.S. Army can survive this winter in India is not necessarily known.
Originally, Churchill was counting on Roosevelt to help him negotiate with China, which has a relatively close relationship with the United States, and either send troops to annihilate all the Japanese troops, or let the Japanese troops go home. But he could not let this Japanese army like a mad dog roam the land of India. Bite.
However, in the past few days, when Churchill was in contact with Roosevelt on the phone, he faintly felt that Roosevelt's mentality towards China had changed slightly.
Therefore, the attitude towards China became ambiguous, which made Churchill very depressed. Churchill was also considered a great man of his generation. Of course he knew what it meant, but he couldn't figure it out. If the United States' attitude towards China changes, it will be the first to be harmed. The most likely thing is British interests in Burma and India. This was what depressed Churchill the most.
"Compared to the United States, Churchill's focus is more on Europe. Therefore, the sensitivity to China having such a powerful military force is far less intense than that of the United States.
When the Chinese army showed such strong strength, Germany in the West, which had little to do with China, was also greatly shocked.
It turns out that the Germans have always believed that they are the noblest race in the world and have the most powerful military force in the world.
But when China showed its true strength, the Germans realized that there was a nation more powerful than themselves in the world, with more powerful troops than themselves.
Many Germans ask themselves, with China¡¯s powerful military strength, if it really encounters the German army, whether the German army can resist it and how long it can resist it.
Therefore, in the hearts of ordinary German people who were originally relatively arrogant and arrogant, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on them. Only now do they know that Germany cannot conquer the world with its power. If it encounters a powerful country like China, In terms of military strength, let alone conquering the whole world, whether it can hold on to the current situation is still a question.
However, unlike the mood of ordinary German people, Hitler's mood these days is more of a fluke.
Hitler was sponsored by a Chinese family when he was a boy, so he always had a special affection for China. In the past few years, before and after Hitler launched the world war, a mysterious force from the East came behind him. Give him a lot of help.
Whether in terms of military technology or strategic layout, Hitler gave Hitler very unique and profound guidance. Judging from the results of several wars, Hitler almost admired this mysterious force from the East.
Similarly, Hitler was deeply in awe of this force coming from the East. Of course, when this force warned him not to be an enemy of China in the East, Hitler almost obeyed.
This was the reason why he insisted on not letting the German troops leave the area east of the Volga River. Moreover, even though Hitler declared war on many countries in the world, he never directly declared war on China, a faraway country in the east, even if he signed an agreement with Japan. In the alliance treaty, Germany also deliberately excluded the words facing China.
Therefore, when China demonstrated its incredible combat power that shocked the world in the summer of 1942, Hitler felt nothing but luck and gratitude to this mysterious force from the East.
Because of the mighty power shown by China, Hitler couldn't help but feel frightened just thinking about it. What a heaven-defying existence this is.
Even Germany¡¯s most powerful army, when faced with this force, Hitler believed, would have almost no power to fight back.
What's more, Hitler knew from the mysterious Eastern force that the Chinese army did not show the most powerful force this time, and only showed part of its strength. If it were to truly become an enemy of the Chinese army, it would be difficult to face it in the end. , not only a blow on the battlefield, but also the possible danger of annihilation of the country.
Therefore, after Hitler showed his true power in China, the only thing he did was to ask this mysterious force to convey his goodwill to China, the Eastern dragon.
As for later, Germany and Japan reached an agreement to provide logistical support to the Japanese troops stationed west of the Volga River. This was entirely at the behest of this mysterious force.
This also let Hitler know that China¡¯s layout in today¡¯s world is by no means only targeting Japan. Of course, if Germany is not his main target of hostility, then it is worth considering which country or part of the country is China's next target.
Just like this, in the summer of 1942, when China showed its absolute power and annihilated more than one million Japanese troops in one fell swoop, it definitely brought not only the word "shock" to the world, but also caused the world situation to undergo extreme changes. Profound changes also caused the Second World War and the search for Huaihe??The trend will be truly different in later generations.
"As for this trend, today, only a few people can roughly judge it, and how many people in this world can really see it clearly¡ª¡ª
