    "Victory is leaving us, and it's all because of those damn Easterners"

    Across the British Isles, more cities are being bombed indiscriminately.  Most of them are industrial cities.  Many were seaport cities with naval ports like Portsmouth and Dover.  During the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe's bombing was limited to industrial or military areas, but the British and American Air Force's bombing of German civilian areas angered Hitler, and the ban was lifted. The Luftwaffe is destroying Japan in the same way that the Chinese did to Japan.  U.K.

    The Germans were unable to stop the Allies from carrying out large-scale bombings of German industrial cities, but the British and American air forces were also unable to stop the Third Reich Air Force from carrying out large-scale retaliatory bombings of the British Isles.  Cities were wiped off the map.

    As the war entered the summer of 1944, the Third Reich Air Force acquired nearly 4,000 heavy four-engine long-range bombers. With the improved design of the Junkers JU488 four-engine heavy bomber based on the Republic of China H-11 heavy bomber, the  Put into mass production, the monthly output of nearly 900 aircraft from three large aircraft factories is enough to enable the Third Reich Air Force to have increasingly stronger long-range attack capabilities.  

    In Germany, from April to May, the Luftwaffe carried out a series of large-scale bombing operations that were planned and regardless of civilian casualties. Thousands of heavy bombers carried out large-scale night raids on more than 30 cities in the British Isles 13 times.  Strategic bombing, the entire southern England, including Wales, suffered a devastating blow.

    In retaliation, General Harris, commander of the Royal Air Force, and Brigadier General Anderson, commander of the US 8th Air Force, ordered more intensive night bombings of cities in western Germany.  More than 4,000 heavy bombers from the Allies were also destroying important German industrial cities such as Hamburg, Kiel, Bremen, Dusseldorf, and Stuttgart.

    The Romans and the Anglo-Saxons, who are closely related, are using modern industrial warfare to destroy their opponents. War is always accompanied by the death of a large number of civilians. With the rapid advancement of science and technology, the scale of war is getting larger and larger.  , the destruction and death it brings are becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

    The rise of a country and nation is always accompanied by war. Old empires fantasize about maintaining their hegemony, which will always lead to conflicts of force. In the process of replacing the old Lion King, the new Lion King will always have a bloody battle. Many heroes  The lion was torn into pieces by the old Lion King during the challenge, but the challenge never stopped.

    Human civilization is developing forward in such bloody competition, and the history of human development is such a history of war filled with blood.  The Chinese nation once led the world in civilization.  The lack of external enemies and challengers slowed down the development of civilization, almost to the point of being dismembered by the Western powers.

    It is precisely because of the struggle for Western hegemony that the East has an opportunity to rise again.

    With the Republican Army stationed in France, Churchill's dream was shattered again.  Victory had once been so close to the Allies.  It seems within reach.  Especially when the Soviet Union won the battle to defend the lower Volga River, Churchill once imagined that there would be a comprehensive victory and that the British Empire could still regain its former hegemony.  but now.  Everything goes with the wind and drifts away.

    Americans will still have the right to speak in future world affairs, but in the future, the British Empire will definitely fall from its original leadership position in world affairs, and even become a second-rate country.  If the war with Germany continues like this, Britain will be completely destroyed, and Germany still has the industrial base in eastern Germany and the Czech Republic to support it.  This is the tragedy of island countries. They will never be able to have unparalleled strategic depth like mainland countries.

    What frustrated Churchill the most was that some American generals even openly discussed the division of interests after the armistice with Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans or Southern Rhodesians, completely ignoring the existence of the British.  The British Empire's original colonies around the world were completely robbed by the Chinese, Americans and damn Italians. The Americans did not lose anything in the war. On the contrary, their troops were stationed in Eastern Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Southern Rhodesia.  , it is conceivable that even if an armistice agreement is reached, the Americans will not return the colonies on the west coast of Africa to the French.

    After months of bombing, U.S. Secretary of State Hull flew from Washington to Belfast, where he brought the British Prime Minister a quote from President Roosevelt: "It's time to end." What?  mean?  After the British lost more, the Americans suddenly told them to face reality.

    Without the instigation of the Americans, Prime Minister Chamberlain might have reached a peace agreement with the Chinese as early as 1939. At that time, the British Empire had only lost Malaya and Burma, and the Chinese would not have attacked India and Australia at all, so that  Most of Africa, but now, Americans say they want to give up.

    Yes??Yes, the Americans lost the Philippines, but they had promised duli status to the Filipinos long before the war, but instead they gained half of Australia and the Southwest Pacific, Southern Africa, and all of West Africa and half of Morocco, during the war.  Four years later, they began to sing songs of peace loudly.

    There is news that the Americans and the Chinese have been secretly holding peace talks in Switzerland recently. It seems that such rumors are not groundless. The Americans decisively betrayed the British Empire for their own interests!

    Churchill was angry, but had no way to vent. If the British Isles were to leave the Americans, the British Isles would soon fall. Then would even Canada become a "trusteeship" for the Americans?  The United Kingdom cannot do without the help of the United States. It can produce between 8,000 and 10,000 aircraft every month, four times that of the United Kingdom and Germany. It is precisely because of the assistance of the United States that the British Empire will not lose its last fig leaf.  .

    Britain and Germany are consuming each other's energy, but the Chinese are watching covetously from the sidelines. There are two powerful fleets stationed in the Bay of Biscay and Gibraltar, which may strangle the British Empire's maritime lifeline at any time. Each time these two fleets  Entering the Atlantic Ocean would make the British Admiralty nervous for a long time.  Fortunately, the Chinese seemed to have no intention of getting involved in the battle between Britain and Germany. Their fleet was only conducting some routine maritime training on the coasts of France and Spain, and had no intention of attacking the British transport fleet.

    Hitler finally extended an olive branch to the desperate British. Although the bombing caused huge losses to the British, the Germans' contribution was not small. The large-scale Allied bombing also caused severe damage to Germany. German fighter jets  The troops tried their best, but still could not stop the Allied bombers from dropping bombs on the Germans. Just like the British could not stop the Germans, the solid protection and powerful self-defense capabilities of the B29 and JU488 heavy bombers made the fighter force  It would cost quite a lot to bring it down.  The support of the Americans made the head of state realize that in order to completely defeat Britain, Germany would also have to be severely weakened. Instead, the Italians and Chinese took advantage of it. The Chinese and Italians grabbed the territory that should be grabbed.  , it has become meaningless for Germany to continue fighting.

    Another reason that prompted Hitler to finally decide to armistice was that Mussolini informed Berlin that he was prepared to follow the Chinese in reaching an armistice agreement with Britain and the United States and to withdraw from the war.  The Italians have reaped enough benefits, but now they are thinking about how to ensure these fruits.

    In June 1944, under the mediation of Franco, representatives of the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers held preliminary talks in Madrid. Representatives of the Allied Powers such as China, Germany, and Italy, and representatives of the United States, Britain and other countries agreed in principle to a ceasefire first. Later,  Representatives from the United States and Britain proposed handing over the old colonial issues to international condominium. The Germans expressed their acceptance of international condominium, but the Chinese and Italians made it clear that they could not accept such conditions.

    Because both sides were unwilling to make concessions, the first Madrid peace talks were aborted. After a two-month truce, the tense two sides rekindled the war. This time, Germany and Britain reached an armistice first, and both sides stopped bombing both sides.  city ??of.

    This time the Germans became imperial observers.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
