- The British were even more wary of China than Japan. Therefore, when the National Socialist Government proposed to the British government to send troops from Central Asia to support the British army in India, the Churchill government refused without hesitation.
“Even in order to guard against the National Socialist Government, the British also deployed some of their few troops to the India-Afghanistan border. Of course, the consequence of this is that the originally small number of troops on the front line will become even smaller. If the Japanese continue to advance, it will undoubtedly be much smoother.
but…
However, the British are not idiots. They would never do something that would benefit the Japanese. They did it precisely because they expected that the Japanese would not take this opportunity to advance into the hinterland of India. In fact, the British's judgment was correct. Because after the National Socialist Government sent troops from Yunnan and Thailand to Burma, the Japanese army that was originally advancing towards the hinterland of India had to transfer its troops to Bangladesh.
In this case, the pressure on the British was naturally reduced a lot, and they were able to mobilize troops to the India-Afghanistan border.
At the same time, the Japanese also completely abandoned Burma and extended the front to Bangladesh.
The Japanese did this because they hoped to hand over Myanmar, which had backward infrastructure and was in ruins due to the war, to China. For the Japanese, since Japan's supplies currently mainly pass through waterways, there will not be so much trouble.
However, for the National Defense Forces, due to the lengthened front line, Myanmar's backward infrastructure, complex jungle terrain, and the many guerrillas left behind by Yamashita Fengwen before retreating, it will undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble to He Zhuguo.
He Zhuguo was well aware of Yamashita Fengwen's thoughts, but faced with the quagmire given up by the Japanese, He Zhuguo had to occupy it. After all, He Zhuguo's mission is to advance into India, and if he wants to enter India and Myanmar, he must occupy the gateway.
Therefore, although he knew that Myanmar had become a quagmire, He Zhuguo still had to order his troops to fully advance into Myanmar.
On the other hand, the National Socialist Government is also dismissive of the British people's petty thoughts.
However, although China is now its own entity and has established a China-dominated [Chinese Alliance] organization, it is not part of the Allied Powers. But now the Chinese Alliance and the Central Powers belong to the same front after all, and the common enemy of both camps is the Axis camp headed by Germany and Japan.
There is no need to fall out with the Allies before defeating Germany and Japan.
So although many people within the National Socialist Government are clamoring to ignore British opinions. Directly enter India, or even directly enter India, but in the end the National Socialist Government still did not do so.
In fact, even for the National Socialist Government, occupying the entire India is a very troublesome matter.
certainly. This is not to say that India’s territory is very large. In fact, although India’s territory is large, it is still far behind countries like China, Russia and the United States. What’s more, India itself has quite developed transportation in this era. System, there is no need to worry about the land area——Of course. An advanced transportation system will become very outdated if it has not been updated for nearly a hundred years. This was the case in India in later generations. The railways built by the British nearly a century ago were actually used a century later
What worries people is not the size of India, nor its transportation. After all, India's transportation is still very developed, at least more developed than some remote areas in China.
“The real problem is India’s population. Although China's population has reached more than 800 million at this time. But India's population of more than 200 million is still a big trouble for China.
First of all, if nothing else is said, if you really want to occupy the entire territory of India, you must at least manage the stomachs of 200 million Indians.
“And the Indians are very resistant to the British, which does not mean that they like the Chinese. If they just resist violently, it will be fine, but then they will just start killing. However, under the influence of Gandhi, Indians like to practice non-violence and non-resistance
Non-violence and non-resistance are generally referred to as resignation. Anyway, we just won’t cooperate, but we won’t do things that can give you an excuse to talk and take action.
Overall. This group of people is still very troublesome, after all, it is difficult to find an excuse to deal with them.
If you really want to take over the entire territory of India, what should you do if you recruit a bunch of uncles who are difficult to serve? You can't kill them all, right? What's more, not all India is non-violent and non-resistance, there are also some who are very violent. Otherwise, Gandhi himself would not have been killed later
so…
"It's better not to move"
"Do you agree?"
Yan Guang glanced at the skinny Indian aside and said with a smile.
"Mr. Gandhi!"?
————————————————————
Gandhi has never relaxed his vigilance against China, because in the past period of history, China has shown greed beyond everyone's imagination, especially when the Second World War just broke out, China even took advantage of the West. Several countries had the opportunity to fight each other and annexed Iran, which was not very far from India.
However, as the Chinese Army got closer and closer to India and had a stronger say in India, Gandhi finally had to meet the Chinese who could decide India's fate.
Of course, this does not mean that Gandhi relaxed his vigilance against the Chinese, it was just that he was forced to do so.
But Gandhi did not understand that he and Yan Guang had core differences.
For Gandhi, a unified India is necessary, and this India not only includes future India, but also includes Pakistan and Bangladesh.
However, for Yan Guang, India must be divided. The India of later generations alone is already unacceptable, let alone Pakistan and Bangladesh?
Although India’s strength is not worth mentioning now or in future generations, having one more opponent means more investment in defense. Yan Guang is still very clear about this.
However, Yan Guang did not express this idea in front of Gandhi. After all, it was not wise to arouse Gandhi's vigilance too early.
"But Mr. President, I think the Chinese government should use its influence to help the Indian people. After all, China, like India, has suffered bullying from Western colonizers"
"Of course, you are right, and our country does support the Indian people's democratic measures, but now is a war period after all, and it is best to wait until the war is over."
At this time, Gandhi was already a very famous figure in Asia and even the world. Therefore, when Gandhi decided to meet Yan Guang, he met Yan Guang easily.
After seeing Yan Guang. Gandhi very directly expressed the hope that China would use his influence to support India's revolution, and even directly help India's revolution after the Chinese army entered India——of course, this revolution is a unified India. It is not the India that Yan Guang imagined was divided into several states.
In Yan Guang’s view, Gandhi’s proposal was simply whimsical.
“After all, if India is not divided, what can I do for you?
And national self-determination and so on
The National Socialist Government has always been the most opposed to national self-determination. Let Yan Guang raise it at this time. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
You must know that China’s territory now covers Europe and Asia, not to mention Central Asia, South Russia, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran. These are all places that can be self-conscious.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT OFFICE That's really digging your own grave. Therefore, to a certain extent, the National Socialist Government was on the same line as Britain, that is, it firmly opposed national self-determination.
If China must support it, it will have to wait until China’s assimilation policy for these regions is successful.
At present, the assimilation policy is going very smoothly. Except for the newly occupied areas such as Syria and Lebanon, other areas have basically reached a 1:1 level. In Central Asia and several other countries with smaller populations, area. The number of original Chinese people even reached several times that of the aborigines.
certainly. Such an assimilation policy will naturally arouse resistance from the indigenous people. However, during this period, the countries on earth still had relatively small populations, and many areas were vast and sparsely populated. It would not matter even if a large number of people were moved there. , In addition, the Chinese have always been a relatively moderate nation and do not have any special beliefs. Basically, you can believe whatever you want to believe, and if you don't believe it, you don't believe it. There will be no religious conflicts with the aboriginal people in the Middle East, so the assimilation policy does not cause any major problems.
Based on estimates from relevant departments. After fifty years of this, it is estimated that these areas will be able to be assimilated more perfectly.
However, these words cannot be told to Gandhi, so Yan Guang’s excuse is that it is still a war period, and he cannot poach the British at this time——In fact, Yan Guang is not wrong, it is still a war period, of course he cannot To poach the British, you can wait until the war is over or near the end. In fact, the Americans actually mean this.
??Leaving aside whether Gandhi believed it or not, Yan Guang was just an excuse.
The reason why Yan Guang did not drive Gandhi away was partly because he admired Gandhi’s character——Although Yan Guang was completely dissatisfied with Gandhi’s non-violent non-resistanceOn the other hand, Yan Guang also needed to contact more high-status Indians through Gandhi.
After all, the plan to split India can only be achieved through these Indians.
Gandhi did not believe what Yan Guang said, but he had to believe it because he had no other choice.
On the other hand, Gandhi also needs to understand what the Chinese are thinking so that he can be prepared in advance when China wants to annex India.
————————————————————
The Tokyo bombing brought extremely painful costs to Japan, and many Japanese people began to wake up from their earlier victory, and began to carefully consider whether Japan could win this war.
On the other hand, Japan has also begun to strongly demand retaliation against China.
??Whether it is to boost military morale, to vent anger, or for the Japanese people who died in the air raids.
However, Japan does not have strategic bombing like h3 or h40, and it is impossible to bomb China from its homeland, but
This does not mean that the Japanese have nothing to do
"Is it possible?"
Although he said this, Tojo Hideki himself already believed it.
"Please rest assured that the plan is absolutely feasible."
In front of Tojo Hideki, Lingnan Kenichi said slightly excitedly.
"As we all know, our country is far away from the mainland of China. If it is not a large long-range bomber, it will never be able to fly. Even if it takes off from Nagasaki, it will take at least 1,600 hundred meters to fly to the nearest Shanghai. The mileage range, if you include the bomb load plus the residence time required during combat, this range needs to be increased"
"However, this is only taking off from the mainland. If it takes off from North Korea, this distance can be greatly reduced."
"Pyongyang is only more than 300 kilometers away from the nearest large city, Dalian. This distance can be reached by several types of bombers currently in service in the Army, even single-engine bombers. In addition to Dalian, there are also Tianjin and Beijing. target, of which the distance between Pyongyang and Tianjin is more than 700 kilometers. The distance from Beijing is 800 kilometers"
"Among the bombers currently equipped by the Army, all models can take off from Pyongyang to bomb Dalian. If it is to bomb Tianjin and Beijing, there are only Type 99 twin-engine light bombers, Type 1 land attack aircraft, and more than 1,900 Type 98 dive bombers. The kilometer range can barely reach"
"So, now we just need to choose a target. And then specify a strict plan"
After listening to Reio’s explanation, Tojo Hideki and the cabinet members present nodded.
“Right now, the bombing of Tokyo has shocked the whole country. Therefore, in order to boost morale, it is necessary to carry out retaliatory actions against China. Considering the actual effect, I think the best target is Beijing"
After looking around, Tojo Hideki said.
"I agree too."
Another cabinet member nodded.
"I also agree"
"Agree"
Almost all the cabinet members present agreed with Tojo Hideki's proposal. In fact, it’s no wonder. After all, the bombed Tokyo is the capital of Japan. In this case, the only way to retaliate is to bomb the other side's capital.
On the other hand, being able to bomb Beijing would probably improve the morale of the entire Axis powers.
After all, so far, China has never been hit by any attack, and not even a bullet from an enemy country has fallen on China.
So if we can successfully bomb China. It is undoubtedly a very morale-boosting thing.
"Since everyone agrees let's start taking action"
————————————————————
Although it is said that few members of the Military Intelligence Bureau lurking in Japan have been dug out by the Japanese, Tojo Hideki is very clear about the current Japanese government. There are definitely no shortage of spies from China.
So after the official decision to launch retaliatory actions against China, everything was kept strictly confidential.
on the other hand. Due to the ongoing manhunts after the war between China and Japan, most of the members of the Military Intelligence Bureau lurking in Japan have also entered the latent stage. Therefore, although the Japanese behavior is not without clues, the people of the Military Intelligence Bureau have not discovered anything. .
It was under this circumstance that the Japanese prepared hundreds of Type 99 twin-engine light bombers, Type 98??Dive bombers and Type 1 land attack aircraft…
Among them, the Type 98 dive bomber has the shortest range, with a range of only more than 1,900 kilometers, and is armed with only a 450-kilogram aerial bomb. However, Japan is not a country that values ??bombers in the first place. It can find bombers that can bomb China. It is already a not simple thing, so the shortcomings of the Type 98 dive bomber are not of much concern.
After determining the type of aircraft to carry out the retaliation plan, the Japanese clamored for revenge through various channels and paralyzed the intelligence system of the national government, while secretly gathering bombers scattered around the country to North Korea
Unlike other parts of the world where fighting is in full swing, the China-North Korea border with the Yalu River as the dividing line is quite peaceful. It is even similar to the Maginot Line at the beginning of World War II. It is basically a sit-in war. .
For the National Defense Forces on the side of the Yalu River, it is undoubtedly a big disadvantage to attack the mountainous North Korea. After all, the mountainous North Korea is not suitable for the deployment of heavy equipment, and if there is no heavy equipment, it is difficult to win the battle. The Japanese will have to pay a heavy price.
In this case, it is better to leave the Japanese troops in Korea alone.
Then, just like in history, they first forced the local Japanese to surrender, and then settled the accounts with them.
As for the Japanese?
They have no plans to leave the mountainous North Korea and then go to the Northeast to play a chase game with thousands of tanks that have been prepared for a long time
Many people believe that this special state on the China-North Korea border will continue after the war is over, but the fact is obviously impossible because
“Gentlemen, work hard!!!”
At an airport in Pyongyang, the commander of the base held a bowl of wine in his hand and said to the dozens of pilots standing in front of him.
Scenes like this are common at several other airport runways.
After almost a month of preparations, hundreds of bombers of various types preparing to carry out the retaliation plan finally secretly gathered in Pyongyang. In order to cover this mission, the Tojo government even sacrificed many spies lurking in the Kokusho government.
And now, after paying a lot of price and making long-term preparations, the revenge has finally begun.
Although no one can foresee whether this operation will be successful, it is conceivable that after this bombing is over, it is obviously impossible for the China-North Korea border to restore the peace of the past To be continued. .
