- The smooth implementation of the Five-Year Plan has catapulted China into the ranks of world powers. In contrast, Japan, across the water, has been steadily declining.
With the Great Kanto Earthquake, financial panic, and financial crisis, Japan¡¯s economy is deteriorating year by year. Finally unable to sit still, the Japanese Emperor accepted Junnosuke Inoue's suggestion, implemented the gold standard, and lifted the ban on gold.
With the help of Star Flag Bank, China purchased large quantities of Japanese gold. Due to the outflow of gold, Japan's economy was even more depressed.
In order to get out of this predicament, Japan suddenly launched an attack on China on September 18, 1931. Known as the September 18th Incident in history, what shocked everyone was that Japan's desperate move hit an iron plate.
Zhang Xueliang, who had been prepared for a long time, withstood the first round of Japan's attack. Then China declared war on Japan and announced that all military assistance to Japan would be regarded as an automatic declaration of war on China.
Three days later, Britain announced that it would abandon the gold standard and break away from the fixed exchange rate. At the same time, China and the United Kingdom signed a "Mutual Assistance Treaty", and China significantly reduced tariffs on many British products. The United Kingdom announced that it would exchange the Hong Kong concession area before the end of the year.
Japan¡¯s war situation in Northeast China became increasingly unsatisfactory. At the end of September, China took back Port Arthur. The Chinese Army drove the Japanese out of mainland China, and Japan was unwilling to fail. A large-scale increase of troops was sent to North Korea, and the number of Japanese soldiers in North Korea soon reached more than 600,000.
On October 10, China¡¯s National Day, China¡¯s North Sea and Yellow Sea fleets mined the Tsushima Strait and blocked the Tsushima Strait. The Chinese Army crossed the Yalu River to fight against Japan, and the Japanese army retreated steadily.
The Japanese navy went to war. They clamored to recreate the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and defeat the Chinese navy in the Yellow Sea. In the Battle of the Yellow Sea, China's aircraft carrier formation made its debut. The Japanese navy suffered heavy losses under the attack of China's overwhelmingly superior air force. On its way back home, it was hit hard by an ambush submarine.
When the Emperor of Japan heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fell ill.
In the two months from November to December, China dispatched tens of thousands of bombers. The four Japanese islands were bombed in turn. Japan, which has no air supremacy, has no choice but to accept China's ravages.
Japan refuses to surrender, so Zhang Anle will definitely resort to his last resort. He ordered that the bombs be changed into incendiary bombs and dropped on large and medium-sized cities in Japan. This is considered to have hit Japan seven inches away. In Japan, which mainly uses wooden buildings to prevent earthquakes, the country has become heated.
February 1932, Chinese New Year¡¯s Eve. Japan announced its surrender. On the same day, the Emperor of Japan passed away, and Junnosuke Inoue committed suicide by caesarean section at home.
In addition to returning Taiwan, Ryukyu, and half of Sakhalin Island, Japan will also pay China twice the war compensation it has received from China over the years. Japan, which had no money, was eventually forced to use the country's minerals to repay its debts. All the minerals in Japan were allowed to be mined by China. More than ten years later, after repaying the loan, Japan became a mineral-free country. The economy also relies heavily on China. China continues to relocate heavily polluting and low-tech industries to Japan, and Japan has become China's industrial park.
President Hoover performed well during the economic crisis. After two terms, Roosevelt stepped down and became the new president. As soon as he came to power, he changed Hoover's pro-China policy. He believed that China, which had defeated Japan, would become the most important enemy of the United States in the Pacific. Britain also feels threatened by China. Gradually alienating China and getting closer to the United States, they want to unite to restrict China's development in the Pacific region.
Zhang Anle naturally would not sit still and wait for death. He came together with Germany after Hitler came to power. Germany's scientific and technological talents and powerful military technology are a good complement to China, and Germany also needs the support of a big country like China.
In 1936, after ten years of preparation, China promulgated the official Constitution of the Republic of China. Zhang Anle became the first official president of the Republic of China.
The two countries got closer and closer, and finally signed the "Sino-German Alliance Treaty" in 1938. In response, Britain and France signed a Treaty of Alliance. Then Poland, Portugal, Canada, and Australia were joined by more and more countries in the lineup of Britain and France. China and Germany also have Italy, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and other countries cheering for them.
The United States is happy to see this situation and wants to make both sides rich like World War I.
China, which has completed two five-year plans, has far surpassed the United States in terms of advanced weapons and equipment and production capacity. Orders from Germany and other allied countries have caused China's large and small factories to operate at full capacity. Tanks and aircraft are continuously shipped from the production lines to various countries.
At the same time, China and Germany improved their relations with the Soviet Union and signed a non-aggression pact. At this time, Stalin was busy purging the country, and naturally he did not want to provoke foreign enemies.
In 1939, on September 1, Germany attacked Poland. On the same day, Britain and France declared war on Germany, and China declared war on Britain and France.They all declared war on each other.
After Germany captured Poland, it attacked Slovakia. The French and British hid behind the Maginot Line and watched Poland fall into enemy hands without taking any action. Seeing this situation, Yugoslavia and Greece quickly announced that they would join the Allies led by China and Germany. Germany, which had no opponents in the east, turned to the west. After capturing the three Low Countries, they rushed all the way to the hinterland of France.
The Chinese Communist Army sent troops to Southeast Asia at the same time. The British and French troops in Southeast Asia were already small. China also used the slogan of liberating imperialist colonies, which was welcomed by the locals.
Germany did not allow a repeat of the Dunkirk evacuation, in which hundreds of thousands of British and French troops were annihilated. The flames of war have disappeared from the European continent, and China has also captured Southeast Asia and is attacking India.
In 1940, China captured the South Asian subcontinent and continued its attack on Iran. Turkey has also begun to attack the British and French colonies southward, and Italy has long been busy on the continent.
Americans were very dissatisfied with Roosevelt's inaction. He only served as president for one term and then hurriedly stepped down. The new President Truman also had no good solution. He did not want the United States to be involved in this war, and the United States continued to implement its neutrality policy.
In 1941, all British and French colonies in Asia and Africa were captured. The British mainland also suffered daily German air attacks, and finally had no choice but to surrender. The British territory was only allowed to retain the mainland of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Ireland were merged, Australia and Canada also separated from the United Kingdom, and the British Empire became history.
In the same year, Zhang Anle was re-elected as the President of China.
Hitler decided to attack the Soviet Union, the last enemy on the Eurasian continent, with China from the east, Germany from the west, and Turkey from the south. The three countries took action at the same time. The Soviet Union's three-front operation soon collapsed.
The oppressed Soviet people even welcomed the Chinese and German troops. Stalin in this dimension became even more crazy during the Great Purge. Because he was often assassinated, he believed that all people were unreliable. The scope and duration of the Great Purge were both enlarged.
After the defeat of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was only allowed to retain a small part of its territory. Turkey took the area south of the Volga River and China bounded by the Ural River, and Germany took the area west of what is now the Russian border. China took away the area east of the Ural Mountains, and Russia's territory suddenly returned to 400 years ago.
After carving up the Soviet Union, everyone turned their attention to the Middle East. After negotiation, Italy gave Egypt to Turkey, so that Turkey became a country spanning three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa. As compensation, Germany ceded part of France to Italy, and thus the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa were divided. As for the younger brothers in Europe, Germany will take care of it.
This war was called World War II, and World War II did not affect China's mainland. China received a large number of orders from the Allies during the war and acquired a large amount of territory. The enemies it faces are much weaker than those of Germany and Italy. It can be said that China has obtained the greatest benefits at the smallest cost.
In August 1942, China tested its first atomic bomb in northwest China.
On October 10, 1942, the Conference of Asian Countries was held in Beijing. North Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, etc., which were previously liberated by China, announced that they would join the Federal Republic of China. Zhang Anle was elected as the first President of the Republic.
In 1943, China tested its first hydrogen bomb.
The first computer was born in the same year.
In 1945, China¡¯s first artificial satellite was launched into space.
In 1947, China announced its withdrawal from the Sino-German Alliance Treaty. The world has become a situation in which China, Germany, and the United States are at odds with each other.
In 1952, Zhang Anle, who served two terms as president, announced that he would no longer serve as president of the Republic. At his insistence, it was written into the constitution that the presidential term should not exceed two terms.

In 2002, 100-year-old Zhang Anle died in Beijing. (To be continued)
