    At this time, the British army did not know that hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops had landed and were not far from South Africa.  After their battle with the German army was victorious in North Africa, before they had time to open a new battlefield, the Japanese army was chased by the advance army and reached the Arabian Peninsula.  Then, Iraq fell.  Along the way from India, the British colonies were ravaged and then occupied and temporarily controlled by the advance army.  All of this made Churchill feel like he was stuck in his throat. He was now exhausted. He was determined to work with the advance army to destroy the Japanese army, but he was afraid that if the advance army did not withdraw, it would end up being a wolf and a tiger, making it even more difficult for him.  It's a calculation.  The Japanese army fled desperately, and the advance army's supply line became longer and longer with the pursuit, but it did not drag down the advance army.  By this time, most of the Arabian Peninsula was occupied, and Churchill felt that if he didn't say anything, the advance army would probably invade Europe.  So, when the Japanese army successfully escaped and rested on the other side, accumulating strength and clearing the waterway of torpedoes, Churchill contacted Sun Tao to see if the advance army meant to destroy the Japanese army before returning to China.  It is better to ascertain the intention and make preparations in advance. Otherwise, if the advance army takes root in these places, it will be difficult to drive them away.  They were not ordinary forces, and Churchill thought he was not sure of confrontation.  When the representative met with Sun Tao, the reply he received was that the troops could not be withdrawn for the time being because the enemy troops had been pursuing him for several months and just yesterday they fled to the African continent.  This news immediately made Churchill nervous. Landing from Assab was only a thousand and eight kilometers away from South Africa. If the Japanese army wanted to attack.  There is no delay if there is no road.  So, I didn¡¯t bother to talk in detail with the advance army.  Quickly mobilize troops to South Africa, where they will wait for defense.  The situation immediately became delicate. After Italy severely damaged the US fleet, it also suffered heavy losses. At this moment, the British army suddenly stopped moving, which made their pressure suddenly lighten. Although they didn't understand why, Germany was quite willing.  They are now in a stalemate with Soviet Russia.  In Stalingrad, Muskk, etc., the battle could not open up the situation. Both sides invested their troops in the city and engaged in non-stop fighting, making it difficult to make an inch of progress.  The actions of the British and French coalition forces have been small, and large armies have left.  Although I don't know the intention of being offended, it is undoubtedly that the pressure has been reduced and I can concentrate on dealing with Soviet Russia.  Winter is about to come, and failure to open up the situation in winter means that the war will not end in a short time.  Therefore, Lao Xi prepared a white plan.  Prepare to take advantage of the freeze before and after the heavy snowfall, and the easy maneuverability of tanks, to defeat Soviet Russia in one fell swoop and end this damn stationary war.  Turn around and attack Britain and France.  He calculated very well, but he didn¡¯t know it.  The Soviet soldiers who are familiar with and adapted to severe cold and heavy snow are also looking forward to snow. By then, this will be their world.  In these actions, time flies so fast, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.  Sun Tao's army was resting and building along the way. At the same time, it symbolically pretended to be building a sea-crossing ship on the edge of the Red Sea, and was ready to continue the pursuit.  In fact, we are going all out to build, support the government, and create a national framework.  For more than a month, the Japanese army made a large-scale advance towards South Africa, and supplies were quite sufficient with the arrival of Zheng Yuan's fleet.  The mine blocking the Red Sea also suddenly exploded early on the third day. The loud noise was heard far away, making the fleet think that an enemy was attacking. As time went by, after the explosion disappeared, the reconnaissance boat sent back the news.  Maybe all the mines exploded, I don¡¯t know what caused it.  Yamamoto Isoroku tentatively sent out a minesweeper, and it entered the Gulf of Aden without incident. In other words, the mine was unstable and self-destructed.  It was now navigable, but Yamamoto Isoroku did not leave until the reinforcements arrived, which allowed several damaged warships to return to Malacca. He wanted to find the British navy and find an opportunity to regain his position.  While they were busy, the curtains of several dry docks that had been closed for a year on Crescent Island were lowered, and dust rose into the sky. Then, seawater came in along the ditch pipes and poured into the docks.  Dong Ku stood there, watching the first aircraft carrier slowly float up, with mixed feelings in his heart.  With the aircraft carrier, he can finally do something big.  He can attack Japan.  Liu Ruji has arrived in Pontianak, and safety is no longer a problem. The little guy Dong Xu will not have any trouble under Liu Ruji's care.  In this way, Dong Ku took time out and rushed to Crescent Island in person to participate in the launching ceremony of the aircraft carrier.  When the first aircraft carrier was launched, Dong Ku and all the workers just celebrated in the dock without any fanfare.  It is too close to Japan's influence, and it is only a few hundred nautical miles away from Guam.  Fortunately, most of the Japanese warships were concentrated in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden, blocking Suez and looking for a decisive battle with the British Royal Navy. They had no idea that the aircraft carrier at their doorstep was slowly floating. Soon, on the tugboat?After being dragged, it slowly left the dock and entered the waterway.  The first batch of commissioners stood upright on the edge of the deck, applying for silence.  They finally have their own aircraft carrier and can finally show off their power at sea.  , The test of the first ship is over, and the next three ships will be launched one after another, but the benchmark data are all waiting for the test results of the first ship.  At this time, rockets are being launched from a secret base in the Mandal Gobi Desert in Mongolia.  This is the key that opens the door to broader technology.  Dong Ku was too worried about the satellite.  Although the structure of the satellite has a lot of black oil because the technology cannot reach it, the launch vehicle can be tested first.  At the same time, the weapon on his mind, infrared guidance, has also reached a critical moment. The most basic reception and capture problem has been solved, and the missile can be launched.  During this period, helicopters have made new breakthroughs.  The honeycomb rocket experiment has been completed ahead of schedule, and the 60-caliber air-to-air rocket is ready for use. The current 150-caliber air-to-ground rocket still needs final experiments. All experiments can be completed by putting napalm into the warhead.  This is Dong Ku¡¯s secret weapon against big enemies, specially used to deal with big guys like aircraft carriers and battleships.  The aircraft carrier, pulled by the tugboat, slowly entered the Crescent Lake, then ignited and the propellers began to rotate.  Everyone watched quietly, only the orders on the aircraft carrier were being passed on.  After adapting for more than ten minutes, the aircraft carrier sailed toward the waterway alone, slowly left Crescent Island and entered the complicated waterway. Then, it joined the fleet waiting outside and sailed toward the deep sea.  Mengzi personally sat in charge and issued orders one after another. His mission this time was to test and let the pilots who were already on the ship start to actually take off and land on the aircraft carrier, and test whether the catapult passed the test.
