    Emperor Song Biao's trip to Europe was strangely delayed until the end of August. He visited Spain and Portugal for nearly a month, which was beyond people's imagination. After that, he flew to Sweden and met with the British Prime Minister in Gothenburg.  Chamberlain and French President Paul Reynold held a public meeting. Without explicitly criticizing Germany, they demanded that Europe maintain the existing peace, respect each other, and strictly limit Sweden's neutral status to prevent Germany from attacking Sweden again.

    During the Gothenburg meeting, China and Britain also reached a final agreement on the Asian colonial issue. Britain recognized that Pakistan and Malaya were independent under the assistance and protection of the Asian Union, and at the same time promised to withdraw its troops stationed in the Arabian Peninsula and in Southeast Asia.  , promising to work with the Asian League to gradually resolve the autonomy issues of British colonies in Asia within the next ten years.

    China and Britain also reached final negotiation and settlement on the issue of Singapore. The United Kingdom agreed that local residents of Singapore should vote in a referendum whether to remain in the Commonwealth, to secede, or to be merged into the Chinese Empire.

    At this point, the main contradiction between China and Britain has been basically eliminated, and there is no war. Britain has taken the initiative to withdraw from its colonies in Asia in a dignified way, and gradually ended its colonial rule in Asia.

    For Britain, this is definitely more fortunate. If China and Britain cannot reach an agreement and go to war, not only France will suffer, but Britain will also lose all its African colonies in addition to its Asian colonies.

    China has springboards like Ethiopia and North Madagascar in Africa. It is not difficult to launch large-scale troops in Africa. However, whether it is fighting for population, resources, national power or military, Britain is no match for China.  What's more, Britain also faced the challenge of Nazi Germany in Europe.

    The signing of the Gothenburg Agreement.  In fact, it is officially announced that the new overlord of this world is the Chinese Empire, and this new empire will be more willing to adopt cooperative rule to control the world.

    ¡­¡­

    On September 4, Emperor Song Biao left Sweden on the Eastern Emperor super-dreadnought high-speed battleship.  Embark on the return journey under the escort of the Central Aviation Combined Fleet.

    This is Emperor Song Biao¡¯s third visit to Europe, but unlike the previous two times, the Imperial Central Aviation Combined Fleet that followed proved China¡¯s status as the new world naval hegemon without any dispute.

    Even if a naval war did not break out between China and Britain, Britain's comprehensive retreat in Gothenburg was enough to prove this point.  The empire also perfectly demonstrated its new strength around the world, making the entire world aware of the birth of a new empire and a new overlord.

    In Japan, the Northeastern National Defense Force has also suppressed many riots in Japan.  Numerous nationwide searches and sieges were launched against Japanese right-wingers. With the efforts of Wang Zhaoming and the Japanese Council of Advisers, Japan gradually entered a new and more stable stage, including the issues of Hokkaido and war claims.  If there is any controversy, the only one remaining is whether to end the emperor system, but on this issue, Japan is no longer one-sided.  The media's defection played a very critical role.

    Emperor Song Biao successfully completed his delaying task, buying enough time for the Central Cabinet Government and the Northeastern Command to deal with two thorny issues. It was under this premise that Emperor Song Biao returned to Asia.

    ??In the previously concluded fourth round of Sino-British colonial negotiations, the empire and the United Kingdom completely reached an effective agreement.  The entire Kashmir region and the Chin and Kachin regions in the Sino-Burmese dispute were officially included in the imperial territory, and the Kashmir Autonomous Province and the Kachin Autonomous Province were established in sequence. In the Assam disputed area, the previously agreed Dinsu Giya was finally used as the boundary.

    At this point, the empire's expansionism in the entire western and southwest regions has also come to an end and entered a new, more stable stage. The subsequent expansion policy is unreasonable, more complicated and difficult. Compared with irrational expansion,  The empire is more willing to firmly stabilize the territory here and establish a strong enough southwest foundation.

    Rather than continuing to waste energy on expansion in this region, the empire has more reason to redirect its expansion momentum to the north and make a fuss in the current Soviet-occupied areas. The vast no-man's land is the empire's next expansion direction.

    Once the final national boundary is finally drawn along the Ob River as desired by the empire, the empire¡¯s territory will exceed 23 million square kilometers, making it the largest empire in history.

    The empire was supposed to be such a huge country.

    However, shortly after Emperor Song Biao returned to Beijing from his visit to Europe, Nazi Germany suddenly requested Belgium to be annexed to Germany on September 15, 1941, and sent troops to attack Belgium and the Netherlands within 24 hours.

    Although France repaired the Maginot Line to the Lille area, judging from the mobilization of the entire strategic force, the Belgian area is still the best springboard to attack France. France and the United Kingdom urgently sent troops to reinforce Belgium without declaring war on Germany.  and the Netherlands, trying to prevent Germany from occupying the area.

    On September 19, the German army defeated the British and French reinforcements and the Belgian Defense Forces, occupying the entire territory of Belgium and the Netherlands. Britain and France were forced to declare war on Germany at the same time.

    After the signing of the Gothenburg Agreement, Britain had actually lost control of its Asian colonies, but the empire also secretly signed a secret treaty with Britain and France, confirming that if Britain and France declared war on Germany, the empire would provide all necessary assistance to Britain and France.  And it will interrupt all cooperation with Germany. If the German-Italian alliance attacks Africa and the Balkans, the empire will also declare war on the German-Italian Wave.

    This secret agreement is the real result of Emperor Song Biao's visit to Europe, and this result also greatly encouraged Britain and France, making them dare to fight such a powerful Germany. At least Britain and France understood that Emperor Song Biao and the Chinese Empire would not sit back and watch Germany unify Europe.

    At 7 a.m. on September 20, 1941, Britain and France simultaneously declared war on Germany.

    The Second World War officially broke out.

    Four hours after Britain and France declared war on Germany, French Ambassador Plenipotentiary Gosmer went to the Central Palace to meet Emperor Song Biao, handed over French credentials, and requested the Chinese Empire to fulfill the relevant commitments of the "Sino-French Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Agreement" and provide France with  Submit all necessary assistance and interrupt all exchanges with Germany in military-related fields.

    Emperor Song Biao did not make things difficult for France. He kept his previous commitments and signed and approved the French government¡¯s request for credentials.

    After sending the French Ambassador Gosmer away, Emperor Song Biao connected the phone to the General Staff Headquarters and asked Chief of the General Staff Jiang Fangzhen to come to see him. Jiang Fangzhen was already on the way to the Central Palace a few minutes later.  Chief of General Staff Jiang Fangzhen entered the general office of the Central Palace in advance to meet with Emperor Song Biao.

    Emperor Song Biao was not surprised that Jiang Fangzhen arrived so quickly. He asked Jiang Fangzhen to sit across from the desk and pushed the newly signed national strategic cooperation order to Jiang Fangzhen on the table.  He took off his reading glasses from the bridge of his nose.

    The Emperor of the Song Dynasty could not help but lament the difficulty of the current situation, and said to Jiang Fangzhen: "The current situation is already very complicated. What do you think?"

    Jiang Fangzhen thought carefully for a moment and replied: "Return to your Majesty. Now it is time to send a special envoy to Europe to coordinate the negotiations between the three countries, and at the same time warn Germany if the situation threatens the interests of the empire. The empire does not rule out taking military action, especially in view of Italy  Due to the inertia of aggression in Africa and the Balkans, the Empire will strengthen its garrison in Ethiopia. Once Italy invades Africa, the Empire must immediately strike severely with military force and officially declare war on the German-Italian-Polish Alliance on the grounds of Italy. In other words  In short, the principle of the empire is that the war must be limited to the existing scope. It must not spread to Spain and Sweden, let alone Africa and Asia, otherwise it will seriously threaten the national interests of the empire."

    Song Biao knew that Jiang Fangzhen had been thinking deeply and long-term about this issue, so he immediately agreed with this opinion and said: "Wait a moment. You will inform the Central Cabinet of your ideas as the opinions of the Military Ministry, and send Deputy Foreign Minister Jiang Zuobin as the  special envoy."

    Jiang Fangzhen nodded silently and reminded: "I'm afraid the cabinet is very reluctant to get involved in this war, especially in terms of military expenditures. The cabinet is probably not willing to continue to maintain the same scale of expenditures as last year. It barely wants to take a breather this year.  , it seems unrealistic now.¡±

    Song Biao sighed: "This kind of thing is not the final say of the cabinet. The matter has already happened, so we have to solve it. Avoiding is not the answer. If Germany is allowed to rule Europe, it will be us who suffer in the end."

    Jiang Fangzhen nodded again.

    Song Biao ordered: "The military department still needs to speed up preparations. How much basic expenditure budget do you estimate will be needed?"

    Jiang Fangzhen thought carefully for a moment and replied: "If it were to go to war with a normal Germany, five to six million troops would be enough, but to go to war with a Germany like this that has occupied half of the Soviet Union and all of Eastern Europe  , then we will need at least 14 million troops, or even close to 20 million. If we are determined to defeat Germany at all costs, we will inevitably fight a war of the greatest scale in Chinese history. Maybe we need to go through several  Each of these key battles gradually eliminated the German army, but in this process, we had to dispatch millions of troops each time. If in the first decisive battle, we could annihilate the main force of the German army with absolute strength, then  Probably the best option.¡±

    Song Biao was silently thinking about this idea in his heart.

    He had conceived of this war many times, and it was generally consistent with Jiang Fangzhen's judgment. If the Sino-German war did not want to become a long and far-fetched war of attrition, the absolute main force and absolutely superior forces must be invested at the first time, and through a single  A truly large-scale decisive battle with the absolute main force will eliminate or severely damage Germany's main force, laying the foundation for a huge crisis that is difficult to reverse.Only in this way can the empire defeat the German army as quickly as possible.

    This is a very difficult thing.

    The Sino-British colonial dispute provided Nazi Germany with an excellent opportunity. Half of the empire's main forces originally concentrated in the occupied area east of the Volga River went south to threaten the British army. Although the Sino-British negotiation results that the empire wanted were obtained, it did not affect Germany.  The deterrence it could produce also dropped significantly, and Germany took this opportunity to sign a Sino-German secret treaty with the empire, peacefully dividing the Soviet Union and avoiding the biggest reason for conflict between China and Germany.

    The Empire's problems in Japan are still going on. It is impossible to ignore Japan because of the German threat. After all, the Empire spent too much power and military expenditures in defeating Japan. No matter how the situation in Europe develops, it is, after all, a country in Europe.  threat, and Japan was a direct threat to the Empire in Asia and Zhou.

    Emperor Song Biao thought carefully for a long time and said to Jiang Fangzhen: "We do not need to organize such a large-scale army because it would require too much military expenditure and resources to rearm. The entire army should continue to maintain its current size.  , if Germany's threat further expands, we can use strategic forces to give the most severe blow and annihilate Germany's main force at once. After all, it has reached this level, or don't fight. If we want to fight, we should use all our trump cards to deal with the opponent at once.  .¡±

    After a slight pause, he added without any doubt: "Let the nuclear strategy department speed up the production and assembly of nuclear warheads, and further optimize and expand the means of nuclear weapons strike."

    Jiang Fangzhen already understood the emperor's determination.  Immediately nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

    Yes, this is the best way to prove the dominance of the empire without spending more military expenditures.

    Except for nuclear weapons.  The empire will also send jet fighters to join this war, and provide such fighters to Britain and France to curb the advance of the German army.  Buy more time for the empire to solve all its worries, especially Japan's problems.

    ¡­¡­

    The Second World War broke out, and such news caused an unprecedented uproar in China. The issue of whether the empire participated in the war triggered a fierce debate.

    The emperor has made a decision. Once the empire joins the war, he will use all his strength to punish Germany the most severely. The Central Defense Forces have begun to fully enter a new round of war preparations.  The main forces of the imperial army and air force have been continuously mobilized to the east of the Volga River and northern Iran, and a permanent institution of the Asian Alliance Allied Forces General Headquarters has been established, with its headquarters located in Dusebin, Tajik Autonomous Province.

    People are talking about a new world war, are afraid of it, and are trembling with fear.  This is true for the entire world. The United States and China, who are staying aloof, are also paying attention to the development of the war. Neither China nor the United States can accept a new Europe unified by military, and they both support Britain and France more.

    For the Chinese people with a population of 500 million, their stance in this war is more neutral. In the eyes of the Chinese, Germany and France are very important friends. Both Germany and France once had a relationship with China.  After receiving a lot of help, in the face of the expansion of the war between Germany and France, most citizens were unwilling to support the empire's participation in the war, and they hoped that the empire could mediate the contradiction between France and Germany and restore peace between the two countries.

    Driven by strong public opinion, the Imperial Deputy Foreign Minister Jiang Zuobin once again flew to Europe to try to mediate the two sides and find a peaceful solution for both parties. However, all this was in vain. Jiang Zuobin himself knew very well that the best way now was to eliminate Nazi Germany.  , rather than so-called peace talks.

    The Imperial Navy continues to dispatch new fleets to the Indian Ocean region to prevent Italian and German troops from entering Asia and Africa, so as to prevent the war from spreading to the Empire's sphere of influence. In other words, the Empire is intending to use this war to change the situation in Africa and crowd out the British and French forces.  African power.

    Unlike World War I, the empire already has Ethiopia, the best fulcrum in East Africa, and sufficient naval bases in the Indian Ocean. Once it intervenes in Africa again this time, the empire will not withdraw from Africa.

    black.

    Which world hegemon is not evil?

    Through the Joint Military Industry Committee, the Central Military Commission coordinates more than 4,000 enterprises across the country that have national military industry standard verification qualifications to comprehensively accelerate the sale of all new weapons such as MBT35\40 tanks, MBV3 infantry fighting vehicles, and HP120 rocket launchers to Britain and France without any restrictions.  It even sold short-range ballistic missiles D2/4 to the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, and Spain.

    The empire's military industrial production capacity fully expanded during this period. The outbreak of World War II will further stimulate the demand for the international military industry market, which was already at a historically high level. In addition to large-scale orders from Britain and France, other countries in order to ensure their own security  The most advanced military equipment must also be ordered, and the empire is willing to supply the most advanced equipment to countries around the world.

    In order to ensure that the BritishFrance will continue to purchase large quantities of the Empire's J3\4\5 and G2\3 series propeller fighters. The Empire not only sells J6 early model jet fighters to Britain and France, but also limits the number of sales due to engine production capacity constraints. It will also face  The old fighters that have been replaced and retired are being sold off, while the Imperial Air Force is simultaneously expanding the pace of replacing J6 fighter jets with propeller-driven fighters.

    In addition to high-tech military equipment, the Empire has sufficient production capacity in various arms market fields such as assault rifles, guns, ammunition, artillery, and trucks. As the most common advanced weapon, the Empire's M35 assault rifle has a large-scale  It is sold to British and French countries, including the corresponding cmr47 medium-power rifle ammunition.

    Throughout October, all stocks related to the military industry on the Imperial Securities Market soared red, which heralded that the Empire would usher in a real war boom.

    Britain and France, which had just recovered from the Great Depression in 1933, were once again facing a situation of heavy blood loss this time, but they had no choice. The central government of the empire was also willing to hold larger national debts for Britain and France to protect them in the future.  affordability in this war.  Their gold reserves will gradually turn into Chinese yuan foreign exchange reserves, completely losing the international hard currency status of the franc and the pound.

    Almost every day, the British Ambassador to China has to conduct various business negotiations with the Imperial Foreign Office and the four major government trust companies.  Large-scale borrowings were made from the Imperial Bank and other financial institutions using Britain's overseas assets as collateral.

    Except for the Germans, no one believed that this would be a war that would end in two or three months for Britain.  Besides borrowing money from China and purchasing China's advanced weapons on a large scale, what other options do they have?

    They must build a larger armed force.  It takes a more advanced air force and army to win this war.

    The empire used this to control the course of the war, selling and leasing a large number of fighter aircraft to the French army, and even sending volunteer air force pilots to participate in the war, ensuring that the French army had air superiority, curbing the advancement of the German mechanical forces, and further buying time for the empire, Britain and France.  .

    The fire dealers in the United States were pleasantly surprised to find that in this long-prepared carnival feast.  In addition to selling artillery shells and guns, they actually have difficulty selling even a rifle, which makes the United States feel embarrassed.

    Of course, selling guns, shells, and bullets is also a good business, at least in huge quantities.

    Americans frantically demand to maintain the principle of neutrality.  Arms dealers supply weapons to Germany, Italy and Poland who cannot buy Chinese weapons without any principles. In fact, many of these famous American arms companies are controlled by Northeast Heavy Industries, Jiangnan Consortium, and Nanyang Consortium.  , or a company that holds shares.

    Capitalists have no shame.

    Companies controlled by Imperial Capital Enterprises in Sweden are more neutral and still supply Germany with all the products it needs, as long as they can produce them, so that German bombers continue to use aluminum alloy structures and engines from the Empire.

    ¡°If His Majesty Hua Huang has lost control of his family business, then the fact that Volvo, controlled by the Far East Consortium, became Nazi Germany¡¯s third largest supplier of tanks and trucks, is probably worth pursuing.

    In other words, from the moment His Majesty Hua Huang decides to use nuclear weapons to solve the problem, all capitalists in the empire can join the bottomless wave of shamelessness and make huge profits together with American businessmen, regardless of whether it is the central cabinet of the empire or the United States.  The government and all politicians turn a blind eye to this.

    National interests are always so realistic and ruthless.

    It is true that the empire will not let Nazi Germany unify Europe, but it will not continue to let Britain and France occupy Africa and other regions.

    After the customs data for October this year came out, Prime Minister Gu Weijun hoped that the war would continue without limit. The Central Military Department also cleverly used the war to speed up the service of new equipment, especially in the air force field.

    The J6 jet fighter officially appeared on the European battlefield in early October of this year. Since France did not have suitable pilots to fly this fighter, through coordination, more than 40 experienced pilots were invited from the empire in the name of volunteers.  , established France¡¯s first Black Falcon volunteer aviation group, which was under the direct command of the French Air Force Command.

    Through technical cooperation with the Chinese Air Force, Nazi Germany's development plan for the Me262 jet fighter has also advanced very quickly, and achieved its first test flight in October last year. Prior to that, Germany also accumulated the same experience in the development process of the He280 ??jet aircraft.  rich experience.

    Soon after the Me262 jet fighter of the Nazi Air Force entered the battle, the Empire's J6 jet fighter also arrived in France at the same time, but the two sides did not have a head-on collision at the first time.

    Like Germany, the Imperial J6 fighter is also a second-generation jet combat aircraft. Its prototype is the P3, and the J6A is the P3DX type.

      Because it uses a more excellent and more powerful turbojet 5 engine, the Black Falcon J6 has a speed advantage over all opponents from the beginning. This gives the Black Falcon fighter more design space to focus on  Combat, take-off, load and range and other key combat data.

    In terms of the design of the inlet and aerodynamics, due to the use of the early shock cone inlet and edge wing plus a small aspect ratio low single wing structure, the combat capability of the Black Falcon fighter with a twin-engine configuration is relatively low.  The jet fighters being developed by the United Kingdom and Germany have absolute advantages, and data such as speed, range, load, and electronic equipment also have greater advantages.

    Compared with the British Meteor fighter, the ongoing P80 jet test aircraft in the United States, and the German He280 ??jet aircraft, the Black Falcon fighter is a very unique twin-engine medium fighter. Its empty weight data is an astonishing 6800/7280kg, and it belongs to the same category.  The German Me262 twin-engine jet fighter has an empty weight of only 4000/4400kg and a combat radius of 750 kilometers.

    Among fighters of the same period, whether propeller-type or jet-type, the performance of the Black Falcon J6 fighter aircraft can be said to be the absolute best in the world. On the German-French battlefield, the first batch of Black Falcon fighter jets entered the battle.  Created brilliant results, shooting down 27 German BF109s with zero battle losses.

    As the British-French allied forces and the German-Polish allied forces launched an offensive and defensive battle of unprecedented scale on the Maginot Line, the scale of ammunition loss on both sides reached an alarming level. The widespread use of assault rifles was the cause of this evil, and this gave  The military industries of China, the United States and Sweden have brought greater profits and unprecedented prosperity.

    The amount of ammunition consumed by both sides in one month was actually more than the amount consumed in the entire Sino-Japanese War. However, the personnel losses on both sides were not severe and were far less than the scale of losses between China and Japan on the Korean battlefield.

    In late November, the German army finally broke through the Maginot Line in Mons, Belgium, with a large number of railway heavy artillery attacks. In the subsequent large-scale attack, the German army marched all the way, detoured and counter-attacked the Lille area where both sides were heavily concentrated, in order to save the enemy.  The British and French forces in the Lille area mobilized all their reserve forces to counterattack Cambrai.

    In the history of World War II, the Battle of Cambrai, the first most intense large-scale battle, began. Both sides mobilized heavy troops. However, the French army's mechanized reform experienced large-scale regression and stagnation during the period of President Lerumbe, which ultimately led to the French army's  There was a lack of sufficient armored forces in this battle. Although the armored vehicles and tanks urgently purchased from China were advanced, the French army itself still lacked the required tactical command experience.

    Before the German attack, General Liu Gengyun, China's chief military adviser, had suggested that the French army deploy its reserve forces as close to the Maginot Line as possible, but this was rejected by General Wigan. Before the Battle of Cambrai broke out, General Liu Gengyun also suggested that the French army should deploy its reserve forces as close as possible to the Maginot Line.  Shrinking the defense line and trying to buy more time on the front line to build a second layer of defense in the rear was also shelved by the French General Staff.

    In France, General Liu Gengyun and the Chinese military advisory team were mainly responsible for providing combat training for the French mechanized troops. Before the Battle of Cambrai broke out, General Liu Gengyun sent a message back to the Imperial Central Military Headquarters, believing that France might fall before the end of the year.  .

    His point of view is that France's problem is not the lack of mechanized combat equipment or the lack of excellent command officers, but the lack of a great leader. In his view, neither General Wigan nor President Reno lacks the ability to lead France.  The courage to fight to the end.

    In the telegram he sent to Emperor Song Biao, he said: "Your Majesty, I really don't think France's future is gloomy and hopeless. They may not be able to defeat Germany, but they can lower their heads and ask for help from us and Britain.  And truly respect us. To really bring France to where it is today, I think the source of everything is probably from the Emperor Napoleon. Always dwelling on the glory of the past has made the French have no courage to face up to their current situation.  Weakness and powerlessness at this stage. They are both arrogant and inferior. If the war does not reach Paris, they will be full of fighting spirit. As long as it reaches Paris, they will admit defeat, and this is what we are worried about."
