- On January 7, 1941, on the day when the British House of Commons opened, Winston Churchill delivered a very powerful speech - "To Our Motherland".
"Today, I think it is necessary that the House of Commons meet at this time because Britain is suffering from the darkest moment in its history, and those who think that praying to God will bring peace do not realize this. This is Britain. It is a tragedy, but it should not happen. God gives us the strength and determination to defend our own beliefs, but he will not give everything to us. We British should realize this. In fact, everyone knows this. It is very important. important."
Winston Churchill's speeches were always full of power, and in his speech he once again severely criticized Chamberlain's weakness and appeasement.
¡¡
Britain is in a very strange state right now.
After the end of World War I, the British were no longer willing to accept any war. For the sake of peace, they were even willing to let Ireland move towards a peaceful revolution, and were willing to allow Australia and Canada to become official independent countries.
The British seemed particularly united around New Year's Day this year. Almost all British people vowed to defend the British Empire. To a large extent, it was not to protect the most dazzling diamond in the king's crown, as politicians said. , but cannot accept the threat of a group of Asians.
Winston Churchill said: Britain must defend not only the colonies of the British Empire, but also the order of the world.
The order he mentioned may have two meanings. One is the colonial order of the British Empire dominating the world, and the other may be Eurocentrism and white supremacy.
¡¡
After all, there are not only two countries in the world, the United Kingdom and China, nor are there only Europe and Asia. China, Britain, the United States, and France are the main makers and foundations of the current world order. The outbreak of war between China and Britain is something that neither the United States nor France wants to see. His Majesty Hua Huang arrived in West Asia for a visit and inspected military institutions in border areas. The United States and France finally realized that China and Britain were really going to war this time. At least China, under the pressure of other members of the Asian League, must provide military support in Pakistan. Intervention, the United States and France quickly intervened in this incident to coordinate between China and Britain.
The result disappointed the United Kingdom. Whether it was France or the United States, their basic views were similar to those of the Asian League. They hoped that the British colonial troops would withdraw from Pakistan and at least recognize Pakistan's autonomy first. As for when to allow Pakistan to become independent, we will discuss it later.
If the UK uses this step to come down, it would be a good thing to agree to the conditions of the Asian League. However, the situation faced by the UK is indeed very complicated. The British Empire is currently facing fierce conflicts in Malaya, Burma, Assam, Pakistan, and India. uprising against colonial rule.
Many British people, such as Prime Minister Chamberlain, have realized that the colonial system maintained by the British Empire is bound to collapse. If there is no challenge from China, the British Empire can maintain this system, and the problem lies precisely with China.
Where should Britain go from here?
Dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Chamberlain's appeasement filled the contradictory British world. People dismissed Chamberlain in the House of Commons and launched a new war cabinet. Winston Churchill became the new prime minister of the wartime coalition cabinet. He had to face both The threat of war between China, the Soviet Union, and Germany must also face large-scale and widespread colonial uprisings, and the great possibility of war with the Asian Alliance and China.
After Prime Minister Churchill came to power, he sent Foreign Secretary Sir Halifax to visit China again and decided to negotiate with China. However, Gu Weijun arranged for Sir Halifax to have direct negotiations with the Asian League Council.
Compared with Prime Minister Churchill, who is of similar age, Gu Weijun is obviously an experienced and veteran prime minister. He still adheres to his foreign policy and is definitely not a vanguard on the issue of Asian colonies. Instead, he pushes the Asian Union to the front of this issue and lets the British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax faced directly the anger and rants of more than a dozen Asian League foreign ministers.
Until March 1941, China and Britain were still in this extremely dangerous situation. It seemed possible to reach an unprecedented agreement, and it was also more likely that a large-scale war between world hegemons would directly break out.
The entire world appears to be particularly dangerous this month, as it is only one step away from world war. The United States and France are actively involved in coordination, trying to persuade the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Churchill to accept the demands of the Asian Union and allow autonomy for Pakistan and other Asian countries.
The United States and France also know that their colonies in Asia are not safe. The invasion of the Philippines and Vietnam may be the next step, but for the United States and France, this loss is not big, and it is not worth their huge cooperation with the Asian Alliance. A large-scale military conflict occurred in the military alliance.
?On the contrary, it would be very bad if the United States and France joined the camp that supported the United Kingdom and went to war against the Asian League to safeguard their own interests in Asia, because under this special situation, China would definitely directly Use nuclear weapons.
Human history is very lucky in many cases. The United States and France did not support the United Kingdom, especially France. It has actually withdrawn from Asia for a long time. If China mainly proposed the bargaining chip in the transaction, France would completely put Vietnam's Suzerainty was also transferred to China.
To say the least, given the thirty-year-long special alliance between China and France, as well as the competitive nature of Britain and France in African and European affairs, there is no way France can support Britain.
So, humans are really lucky.
Unfortunately, the Sino-British war broke out after all, although the scale was not as large as initially feared.
¡¡
On March 25, 1941, after the Imperial Defense Forces successively occupied Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island and the Shimonoseki area, as the final battle of the Sino-Japanese War, the Imperial Tohoku Defense Forces and the Central Navy aircraft carrier combined fleet launched a war in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. An unprecedented scale Ishikawa landing battle.
According to the plan of the Northeast Defense Force Command Headquarters, after the success of this landing battle, the main force of the Northeast Defense Force will occupy Nagano Prefecture at all costs and make final preparations for the attack on Tokyo.
The Imperial Defense Force will not consider splitting its forces to attack Nagoya, but will directly occupy Nagano and seize the Tokyo Plain area, fundamentally eliminating Japan's will to resist.
As the international situation becomes increasingly complex, the empire must end the Sino-Japanese War as soon as possible, which means that Emperor Song Biao basically gave up the opportunity to use nuclear weapons against Japan.
Following the imperial edict of Emperor Song Biao, the Northeast Defense Forces were required to end the Sino-Japanese War before December 1941, forcing Japan to abandon the emperor system, as well as Hokkaido, Kuril Islands, Sakhalin Island, Tsushima Island, Ryukyu Islands, Iwo Jima Islands and other Pacific The ownership of the islands, in addition, China and Japan need to sign a peace treaty, and the Japanese military will be strictly restricted.
In order to achieve this goal, the Northeast Defense Force will be able to obtain all the necessary materials and conditions.
During the same period, on March 27, 1941, after the success of the Ishikawa landing battle launched by the Northeastern Defense Force, Wei Lihuang commanded the Northern Allied Forces to launch the final all-out attack on the Soviet Ural Front.
Rokossovsky's Ural Front is mainly stationed in Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk, with a total strength of 711,000, 11,000 cannons and mortars, 1,785 tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and major equipment. T-34/85 tanks and infantry armored vehicles imitating the MBV2 series have about 400 rocket launchers, and their overall strength is dominated by artillery.
In order to annihilate the Soviet Union's most powerful front at this stage, Commander-in-Chief Zhao Tingzhu and Chief of Staff Wei Lihuang made a lot of preparations. They first eliminated the Soviet Air Force in the east, and then bypassed the front to capture Kazan and Oron. The fort cut off the front's connection with the Soviet headquarters, leaving the front army in a state of severe lack of supplies in the past six months.
Beginning in January 1941, with the arrival of the Air Force bombing divisions, the Northern Allied Forces carried out an average of more than a thousand large-scale bombings against the Ural Front every day, using high-explosive bombs and gasoline bombs to deal with those large and solid fortresses. Its main air defense positions use long-range coverage strikes with rocket launchers and short-range missiles.
By the end of March, when he was convinced that the morale of the front army was extremely low, Wei Lihuang personally commanded the Novosibirsk Army, the Eighth Army, and the Kyzyl Army to launch a general attack on the Ural Defense Line, with a total force of 1.074 million people, artillery and mortars. There are 23,000 guns, 4,430 tanks, and 7,370 armored vehicles. Six air force divisions have assembled to participate in this battle. Starting from March 20, they have carried out more intense bombing and artillery shelling on the Ural defense line for a long time.
After a week of intensive bombing, the Eighth Army, as the main force, attacked Chelyabinsk under the lead of a large number of tank troops. During this period, the empire's G2/3 attack aircraft drawn from the interior gradually arrived. On the front line, compared to the semi-professional J-5 fighter bombers, the G2/3 series attack aircraft are more suitable for attacking ground fortresses, tanks and artillery units. Under the cover of a large number of J-3/4 series fighter aircraft, the Air Force once again concentrated all its forces on The ground units of the Soviet Red Army dealt a heavy blow, while the Army launched a strong attack on the ground using the latest model MBT35/35B tanks and some MBT33 tanks as the main force.
400 helicopters were also invested in this battle at one time, some of which were equipped with long-range rocket launchers and were mainly responsible for attacking forward fortresses and tanks.
Never underestimate the ambition of the Soviet Red Army to defend the motherland, especially the ambition of those Soviet officers.
After such a long period of large-scale suppression, the Ural Front troops were still extremely brave in the car with the Imperial Army and Air Force.Yabinsk launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle. The strategy adopted by Commander Rokossovsky was "no longer to seize the lost positions, but never to give up a position easily." Therefore, there was no violent battle in the entire battle. There were repeated battles, but the Soviet Red Army's will to resist on every position was also shocking.
The Soviet Union was attacked by the two major military powers China and Germany and Poland at the same time. The Ural Front Army was surrounded layer by layer and was blocked for half a year without any foreign aid. It suffered from a serious lack of supplies and reserve personnel. In such an environment, They were able to persist in fighting to the last moment. As a nation and as a soldier, they are indeed worthy of respect.
As anti-invaders, they are the most brave and tenacious soldiers in the world.
It is undeniable that many of them were forced to choose to be soldiers and chose to take up guns to defend the motherland. Even in the back row of their fighting front lines, the military police troops held machine guns to prevent them from retreating and let them do whatever it took. The cost was defending a regime they didn't like, but they did a pretty good job.
They are brave and fearless.
Strength determines everything after all.
Not only did the Imperial Army make no mistakes, but it also adopted very cautious and extreme offensive and suppression methods. After three days of brutal fighting, Wei Lihuang led the Northern Allied Forces to occupy Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg, annihilating 230,000 Soviet officers and soldiers, and capturing 230,000 Soviet soldiers. 450,000, wiping out all the main Soviet Red Army forces on the east side of the Volga River.
The Soviet Union had three main forces during this period, namely the Central Front, the Voronezh Front, and the Steppe Front of the Vatutin Department in Moscow; the Don Front, the Stalingrad Front, and the Southwestern Front of Zhukov's Department in Stalingrad; and The Ural Front, Kazan Front, and Kazakh Front of Rokossovsky and Konev's Department.
These three large armies are located in Moscow, the Caucasus and the central and southern regions, and the Ural and eastern regions. They form a tripartite force. As the three major front armies on the eastern front were all annihilated by the empire, the Soviet Union lost its industrial base in the central and eastern regions and the Caucasus. , Kazakh mineral resources area, and its follow-up has become almost impossible to compete with the German-Polish coalition forces.
The Soviet Union will definitely fight to the end, just like the Paris Commune.
Death is not scary to them.
Although there are still serious disputes with Germany and Poland over the division of the Soviet occupied areas, this does not affect the empire's occupation of the area east of the Volga River Basin. Everything is going according to step and according to the empire's plan, the area from Kazan to Orenburg will The Republic of Tatarstan will be established. The area east of the Ural Mountains and west of the Ob River will be temporarily included in the Siberian Democratic Republic. The capital will be established in Yekaterinburg, while the area east of the Ob River will be directly included in the territory of the empire.
The territory of Kazakhstan remains unchanged, it temporarily implements autonomy under the trusteeship of the empire, and prepares to establish a new provisional autonomous government in preparation for further separatism and joining the Asian Union.
In order to ensure that the Russian population in the Republic of Tatarstan does not exceed half, the empire will reserve the area from Samara to the east of Stalingrad in the south and the Ural River in the east. It will continue to be garrisoned and managed by the Sixth Army, waiting for the Soviet-German war. subsequent progress.
Even if an agreement cannot be reached with Germany, for the Empire, the Sino-Soviet War is over. The Empire will not continue to attack the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union cannot actually support it for much longer, even if Britain and the United States are now willing to give the Soviet Union It was too late for more military aid to contain the Reich and Germany.
In the past two decades, the Soviet Union¡¯s investment in Kazakhstan was not large, but not small either. This allowed the Kazakh region itself to still have a good mining industry foundation and a certain scale of machinery industry, and the infrastructure level was relatively good. .
When Kazakhstan is fully integrated into the Asian League, the strength of the Asian League will be further improved.
Obviously, the Kazakh region is also a very good industrial resource base for the empire, especially when Kazakhstan holds part of the Siberian oil area.
The early end of the Sino-Soviet War left a large amount of spare military power for the empire. After annihilating the Ural Front, the Eighth Army immediately went south and transferred to the Southern Allied Forces of Xue Yue and Liu Yazhao.
¡¡
The situation faced by the British Empire during this period was very difficult. With the end of the Sino-Soviet War, China could mobilize more than four million army troops to go south. During the Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese Navy basically completed its tasks and could be deployed at any time. They can go south in large numbers and launch a general attack on many British colonies in Southeast Asia.
It is very stupid to go to war with China and the Asian League at this time. However, the conditions offered by the Asian League did not show any mercy to the British Empire. This situation is very similar to that of small countries like the Philippines relying on the United States. Support warning to Chinese XiaoThe point is that these members of the Asian League are basically poor and weak countries. Without China's behind-the-scenes support, the combined strength of these member states would not be the opponent of half of the British Empire.
So when these small countries gather together and declare that the British Empire should be careful and get out of Asia quickly and quickly, how can the British Empire be embarrassed?
Britain is indeed in a lot of pain and trouble right now.
¡°The concessions that the UK needs to make now are not to a place like the South China Sea, but to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Malaya, and Singapore. This series of large-scale concessions is unacceptable to the UK.
The attitudes of these small countries in the Asian League are indeed very arrogant and tough. They actually want the UK to unconditionally withdraw from Asia and all Islamic countries, including Egypt, Qatar, Dubai, and Oman. If the UK does not withdraw, they will go to war. They do They can't beat the UK, not all of them combined, but China, who is supporting them from behind, can beat them.
If Britain and Iran go to war at sea, will China help Iran fight Britain?
The Asia Cooperation Alliance is a very close all-round alliance organization, the most important of which is the military alliance. If any member state is invaded by a foreign country or has civil strife, other member states must provide full support.
Similarly, if you want to attack other countries or regions, you must obtain the collective authorization and consent of the ASEAN Council, or at least obtain the understanding of other member states of the ASEAN Council.
To put it simply, "authorization" means supporting you to fight with all your strength and everyone fighting together; "agree" means we will help you within the rules of the alliance treaty, but we will not participate in the war; "understanding" means you fight your own. , we only provide the lowest level of alliance support, such as not selling military resources and weapons to the other party, and prohibiting the other party's military ships and special ships from passing through my territorial waters, while my airspace and territorial waters are open to you.
The current level for the United Kingdom is to "authorize the Southern Coalition Forces and other major armies within the Asia League governance treaty." This means that in addition to the Southern Coalition Forces, the Central Defense Forces of the Chinese Empire, the Iranian National Defense Forces, and the Thai National Defense Forces all have the right to fight against the British, which is equivalent to He said that war has been declared, and whether we fight or not depends on the attitude of the UK.
The once glorious British Empire is now in such a sorry state!
In fact, the UK has not yet figured out the operating rules of the ASEAN Council at this stage. Whether it is Prime Minister Chamberlain before or Prime Minister Winston Churchill in the wartime cabinet, they are all seizing the time to reach a mutually acceptable agreement with China. Agreement, the problem is that Prime Minister Gu Weijun's leading policy on this matter is to hide behind the scenes and manipulate other ASEAN member states to provoke Britain.
On the surface, China¡¯s attitude is relatively neutral. In fact, it really wants and is happy to attack the UK. As long as there are sufficient excuses and reasons, it will do so. It is okay not to do so. Then the UK will have to meet the various weird requirements of these small countries.
Gu Weijun is indeed a prime minister who is really good at manipulating diplomatic work. On this matter, his leading policies are very shrewd and beautiful. To say the least, even if China and Britain really go to war, China will still occupy the moral and organizational position. The advantages.
Britain doesn¡¯t have the so-called spirit of enduring humiliation, so it¡¯s very crazy.
Just when Britain was in a dilemma, the Iranian Navy found an opportunity to launch an attack on the British Navy in Oman. The result was of course that the Iranian Navy was sunk by a cruiser. Although the British Navy successfully ended the Iranian Navy's provocation, The Iranians were taught a lesson, but Prime Minister Churchill knew very well that this hornet's nest had really grown.
¡¡
When the news that the Iranian Navy¡¯s Rasht cruiser was sunk by the British Navy reached the country, Emperor Song Biao happened to be inspecting the port of Vladivostok.
The Russians really don¡¯t know how to develop the Far East.
This is of course also because Russia has a vast territory and rich resources, and lacks sufficient motivation to develop the Far East. For the empire, the Far East has a very good development foundation, especially in the development of fishery, animal husbandry, mining, and forestry. Vladivostok is currently the largest fishing port in the Sea of ??Japan. With the establishment of the Far East Fleet, Vladivostok has once again become the military center of the Imperial Navy in the Far East.
After the development of mineral resources in the Far East and North Korea reached the current scale, Vladivostok has obviously transformed into an emerging industrial city in the past few years. The local Vladivostok Steel Plant has been able to rank among the top 30 steel plants in the country, providing Vladivostok's machinery and shipbuilding industry provided basic materials.
Generally speaking, Vladivostok is still a very peaceful new city.
On the coast of Vladivostok, the imperial court purchased a beach and port area to build a new royal resort hotel. This time to Vladivostok, Song Dynasty??The emperor himself also had plans to stop by and rest for a week.
After the Central Palace, Lushan Summer Palace and Chengde Summer Resort, the imperial royal family will no longer add new palaces or set up new palaces in principle. The inner court has set up a Chinese Royal Hotel Management Company, using funds from the inner court and the royal family to purchase The industry has built some royal hotels, but even the number of these hotels is relatively limited. Usually only one is reserved in large regions such as East China and South China, and this one in the Far East is located in Vladivostok.
If you want to take a seaside vacation, this is definitely a good choice. Regardless of whether the royal family chooses to vacation here, the hotel will always be used for normal business and is not considered a palace in principle.
Standing on this side of the beach and looking into the distance, with the boundless blue sea in front of him, what Emperor Song Biao saw was the country of Japan and the ongoing war in Ishikawa Prefecture.
The Tohoku National Defense Force successfully landed and occupied the surrounding Fukui, Gifu and Nagano prefectures in a very short period of time. Heavy troops were gathered in Nagano Prefecture, and they could attack Tokyo beyond Kumagaya. The Japanese emperor and royal family had been forced to move to Miyagi Prefecture. , while the former Qing Emperor Puyi and the North Korean Emperor were abandoned in a corner of Tokyo. Except for the Central Military Intelligence Department, even the Japanese military base camp may not be aware of it now and cannot take care of them.
Facts have proved that even if we really attack the Japanese mainland, it is not a terrible thing. The so-called 100 million pieces of jade have been proved to be just a crazy clamor from the Japanese base camp. In the process of conquering Ishikawa and Nagano, the resistance of the Japanese army was indeed extremely crazy, but that What can it bring?
"It is true that the scene of tens of thousands of Japanese officers and soldiers rushing forward with the Type 30 rifles and Murata rifles of the last century and attacking tanks and infantry and armored vehicles with bayonets is very shocking, but what is the point?
Does the Japanese base camp really think that their soldiers will be cheaper than machine gun ammunition? Do they really think that the crazy casualties of hundreds of thousands of infantry officers and soldiers will deter the empire?
To put it bluntly, when the hatred between two countries has accumulated to this point, no matter how many they die, the empire will have enough bullets to satisfy them.
During the Ishikawa landing battle, the Japanese army tried to use human sea bayonet tactics to defeat the Imperial Marine Corps and block the Imperial landing. The result was that they only left the bodies of 600,000 Japanese soldiers on the long beach.
They swarmed up like locusts, not caring whether the enemy was a machine gun or a flamethrower, or whether the sky was an airplane or a rocket launcher.
They did not even have any requirements for basic army tactics. The vast majority of Japanese officers and soldiers during this period could not be considered professional soldiers at all, not even semi-professional. Many soldiers did not even have rifles, only crude and cheap samurai swords. .
What are they proving?
??Do Chinese people care?
Will His Majesty Hua Huang care?
the answer is negative.
When they rushed toward the tank regiments and armored brigades of the Northeast Defense Force in groups of hundreds of thousands, and when they were fired upon by hot red machine guns in a sea of ??blood, His Majesty the Emperor was sitting in the bed of Concubine Ning and Princess An Xian. Accompanied by you, spend your cool vacation at the resort hotel in Vladivostok.
There is nothing terrible about Japan.
It was not a quagmire of war at all. Most of the soldiers just committed suicide by charging without any tactics. It was much easier than during the Korean battlefield, and most Japanese people had basically accepted the reality.
In the face of the imperial torrent of steel, any resistance made by the Japanese army is nothing more than a mantis trying to block the car.
Of course, Japan sometimes gets excited about destroying an MBT33\35 tank, but in the face of the data that it takes an average of 13,000 Japanese casualties for an MBT series tank to be destroyed, the average daily production of the MBT series main battle tanks by the empire The data of more than 200 vehicles is more likely to make the Japanese miserable.
??According to the current progress, perhaps in a month, the Imperial Defense Force will occupy Tokyo, and before October, the Empire will completely level the entire Japan.
Song Biao stood in the pavilion by the beach, looking at the Sea of ??Japan in the distance, with a lot of emotions in his heart. He was thinking of old things decades ago, Nobujun Aoki, Shinyuki Akiyama, countless past events and All old grudges and grudges will end this year.
??Inadvertently, 35 years have passed by in a hurry.
It¡¯s really time to end.
Let all this become real history and the past.
Song Biao is actually very satisfied with the current push, sweeping through with conventional military strength and ruthlessly crushing the so-called Empire of Japan into pieces. This is a good way to truly speak with strength.
In the face of real strength, the vaunted Empire of JapanEven so, looking back many years later, it would be damned if the Japanese could still find something to be proud of.
In the face of the Chinese Empire, what is the difference between Japan and the Philippines at this time?
Therefore, this kind of conventional land war and tough conquest using only 1/4 of the military strength is very meaningful.
In Vladivostok, Song Biao was just enjoying this moment calmly. This moment meant everything he had paid in the past thirty-five years.
At this time, the first-class chamberlain Jiang Shoulin reported an urgent telegram from the Central Military Department to Emperor Song Biao. After opening it, the emperor took a look at it and did not feel any surprise, nor did he make any special reply. He simply replied A "read".
