    In January 1q36, after eight months of preparation, with China's huge transportation capacity, the tens of thousands of Jews who arrived on Hokkaido Island early had already settled down.  To this end, the empire dispatched the navy, navy and air force to drive the 660,000 Japanese people on Hokkaido into Honshu Island and eliminate the four Japanese warlords on it.  The Rothschild family sold all their property to pay for the land on Hokkaido Island, and thus became the leader of the Jewish community in Hokkaido Island.  With the intervention of the Chinese imperial government, on July 7, the Jews established their own political organization and parliament.  On January 1, 1937, Eli Rothschild of the Rothschild family was elected president of the current government, and announced the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Israel, with Sapporo as its capital and renamed Jerusalem.  The establishment of Israel suddenly made the Japanese islands lively.  From then on, the Japanese shifted the target of their hatred to the Jews. In order to expel the Jews from the Japanese islands, the remaining 12 warlords of the Japanese began to unite and jointly pledge allegiance to Emperor Hirohito, forming the nominal nation of Japan.  Since China's military presence between Honshu and Hokkaido is only three years, the Israel Defense Forces will have to defend the country alone in three years.  Therefore, three years later, Japan will engage in a large-scale racial survival war with Israel.  This is exactly what China wants. Neither Japan nor Israel has resources and needs to rely on Chinese supplies.  Both countries are part of China, surrounded by China's territorial waters and airspace. The wealth that the Jews who can make money will eventually get will be consumed in China, which is equivalent to China having an extra money-making machine.  The whole world hates the Jews 9!  The expulsion is their loss. The Jews who can make money will help China achieve its dream of becoming a great power.  At the same time, various social contradictions arose in Spain during this storm in Europe. The left and right wing elements attacked each other, the failure of government reforms, and the dissatisfaction of the old force soldiers and religious figures. In the long run, the confrontation turned into armed struggle, and finally in  The planning of the right-wing military led to the civil war.  On June 8, 1q36, the Spanish colonial troops stationed in Morocco and the Canary Islands arrived at f.  Franco, e.  Mora and other generals instigated a rebellion.  The rebellion quickly spread to large and medium-sized cities such as Cadiz, Seville, Zaragoza, and Burgos.  Most of the troops of the 6th Army and the Air Force (about 120,000 people) and the ¡øForeign Legion¡ø composed of Moroccans participated in the rebellion.  The rebels took advantage of the government's hesitation and quickly occupied the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, and the northern and southwestern provinces of mainland Spain. On July 3d, they established a "National Defense Executive Council" in Burgos, attempting to attack Madrid from the north to the south and then seize national power.  After the rebellion broke out, Spanish people from all walks of life responded to the call of the Popular Front and took up arms to defend the Republic. Within two days, a total of 300,000 people signed up to join the militia organization, the Popular Guard.  Rebellions in large and medium-sized cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, ??Valencia, Cartagena, Malaga, and Bilbao were quickly put down.  The rebels only control Andalusia in the south and economically backward provinces such as Galicia, Navarre, and Old Castile in the north.  The Republican Army controlled all industrial and political centers, major ports, transportation arteries, and important agricultural areas.  When the rebels were in a critical situation, the United States, Germany, Italy and France sent troops to intervene at Franco's request. They attempted to take the opportunity to overthrow the Spanish Republic, control the Strait of Gibraltar, cut off the connections between Britain and France and their colonies in Asia and Africa, and turn Spain into a country that restricted Britain and France.  strategic base of the law.  At the end of July, Germany and Italy began to dispatch aircraft to Spanish Morocco to assist Franco in transporting rebels to the western mainland, and also transported a large number of tanks and aircraft to Spain.  The United States then sent troops to join the war under the banner of "Volunteers". In a short period of time, more than 50,000 troops were transferred to Spain. Together with the German and Italian troops, the three-nation intervention force reached 10,000 people.     beautiful.  Germany and Germany intended to provide Franco with a total of aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles, 57 artillery pieces, 100,000 rifles, and 50,000 artillery shells.  The armed intervention of the United States, Germany, and Italy turned the Spanish Civil War into an international anti-fascist war.  Britain, France and other European countries were afraid of the United States and adopted a non-interference policy in the Spanish War and signed the "Non-Interference Agreement". The Chinese government still ignored European affairs, but China's major arms dealers obtained the government's permission.  Under the banner of international humanitarian relief, a large number of weapons and military supplies were exported to the Spanish government forces.  Including advanced fighter aircraft, a tank and an armored vehicle, anti-tank combat vehicles, various artillery parades, light and heavy machine guns, 530,000 automatic rifles, and artillery shells.  , countless bullets, helping Spain suppress the rebels while making huge profits.  It can be said that the merchants of the empire seemed to have seen the signs of an imminent war in Europe again, and they began to prepare for another big war windfall.  At the same time, the Spanish people¡¯s anti-fascist struggle has received support from the international proletariat and anti-war figures.  People from all over the world raised food, medicine, donations and weapons to support.  More than 40,000 anti-fascist fighters from 4 countries voluntarily went to Spain to form an international column to fight alongside the Spanish people.     Depend onThe earliest weapons China exported to the Spanish government taught the rebels advanced weapons, which caused the rebels' early combat operations to be very unfavorable.  At this time, the Royal Sixth Army of China has been equipped with a new generation of main battle tanks, the M3 Tiger tank.  Due to the high combat weight of the M1 Panther tank, most of the bridges and roads in China were overwhelmed, which greatly reduced the mobility of the Royal Sixth Army.  The mz Lynx main battle tank was light in weight during World War I, and its firepower and armor protection were more practical.  However, as countries vigorously developed tanks after the war and imitated the m2 Lynx main battle tank and achieved success, the Royal Sixth Army of China requested a new generation of main battle tank to replace the m2 Lynx main battle tank.  It was under this circumstance that the m3 Tiger tank came into being.  Tiger tank is relatively neutral, Tiger tank crew: 5 people, total combat weight "52 tons gun forward 8516vr1 gun rearward 7.  bright!  The vehicle body length is 7251"1", the vehicle height is 8 meters (to the turret); the power is a Rudolf  Maximum range of 1,000 kilometers (off-road): 87 kilometers (on road), up to 1,000 kilometers with auxiliary fuel tank! 1,000-meter hill climb, wading: 1 meter; 3 meters (with preparation), vertical obstacle crossing: 6 meters, trench crossing:  3-meter main weapon: 75mm 35 times caliber smoothbore gun auxiliary weapon: 13mm parallel N1 (]! 5 improved vehicle-mounted machine gun ammunition "75mm shell 1, 13mm bullets. Generally speaking, the main gun of the Tiger tank is relatively leopard  The model is much smaller, but the length of the barrel is increased, and the power of the shells is increased. Its lethality is not less than that of the Leopard tank's 1mm gun. In order to reduce the weight, the number of members was reduced to 5, and it was used on the tank for the first time.  The most advanced turbine engine allows the Tiger tank to run faster than the Lynx tank at a full combat weight of 1 ton, and its maneuverability is very powerful compared to tanks from European and American countries. Due to the increase in the protective armor thickness of tanks and armored vehicles in various countries, the tank's  The vehicle-mounted machine gun can no longer penetrate their armor. Therefore, the first is to increase the caliber, but this will increase the weight of the tank, so the Tiger tank no longer relies on the machine gun to attack the enemy. Due to the advanced fire control radar system of China, the Tiger tank  The tank adopts advanced fire control directional radar technology, which significantly improves the hit rate during maneuvers. Therefore, there is no need to install a large-caliber machine gun. Therefore, the previous 13 mm caliber parallel machine gun is retained in the armor protection.  Tanks first adopted advanced composite armor technology. At this time, anti-tank guns appeared in various countries, posing a powerful threat to the tank family. During World War I, the thickness of tank armor was only 6~2mm.  Tank bullets, infantry guns or field artillery fire can damage tanks. After the war, with the development of tanks in various countries, special anti-tank guns came into being. The Swiss made a 20 mm automatic gun for high and low levels.  The anti-tank gun was originally qd meters per second, and the armor penetration thickness was 15 mm at a distance of iod meters.  / second, the hard-core armor-piercing projectile initially reached 1 meter / second, and the armor-piercing thickness when the shooting distance was 9d meters was 1 mm, and the armor-piercing thickness of the armor-piercing projectile was 51 mm (at that time, the armor thickness of French and German tanks had reached; b mm) o However,  , countries are not only targeting enemy tanks. At this time, the armor thickness of China's Leopard tanks is qo mm. Therefore, various countries have also launched anti-tank guns with calibers of so ~ 100 mm. Initially, the armor penetration thickness is generally 8 ~ iod m/s.  Reaching 7o ~ izd mm To deal with this threat, the Royal Sixth Army of China first increased the thickness of the tank armor. However, continuing to increase the thickness of the armor can certainly improve the tank's protective power, but increasing the armor will inevitably increase the weight of the tank and affect the tank's mobility.  Composite armor has multiple layers, and each layer of armor-piercing or armor-piercing projectiles consumes a certain amount of energy. Due to the different hardness of the materials in each layer, the direction of the metal jet of the armor-piercing projectile or armor-piercing projectile can even change.  Break the armor-piercing core.  Therefore, the penetration resistance of composite armor is much higher than that of homogeneous armor.  When the unit area weight of the armor is the same, the ability of composite armor to resist armor-piercing projectiles is twice as high as that of homogeneous steel armor.  Composite armor is a reflection of the powerful industrial capabilities of the Chinese Empire, especially driven by the rapid development of China's special steel manufacturing industry and the large-scale shipbuilding of the navy.  The Tiger tank equipped with additional armor can withstand attacks from 1mm tank guns and anti-tank guns below 1cm, making it a veritable king of war.  However, the Royal Sixth Army of the Chinese Empire strictly kept this secret and did not export Tiger tanks and only assembled the Royal Sixth Army.  With the Royal Sixth Army equipped with Tiger tanks, Leopard and Lynx tanks are no longer strictly export-restricted tanks.  In order to occupy the international tank market, the Royal 6th Army modified some cutting-edge technologies on the N1 Panther main battle tank and the M2 Lynx main battle tank, and then these two tanks began to be exported.  However, the export models were replaced by the N1 Leopard heavy main battle tank and the N2A2 Lynx light main battle tank.  Among the tanks exported to the Spanish government army, the main one is the N1 Panther heavy tank.??gram.  Exports to Spain also include the Mo-2 anti-tank tank, which is the world's most advanced anti-tank weapon, mainly aimed at the main battle tanks of Germany, Italy and the United States.  The anti-tank combat vehicle model assembled by the Royal Sixth Army of China is H14 Timberwolf, and the export models have different code names in the West.  For example, France calls the N4 Alpine Wolf anti-tank combat vehicle, and the United Kingdom imports it and translates it into the N4 Coyote anti-tank combat vehicle, while Spain calls it the A(4 Steppe Wolf) anti-tank combat vehicle. The anti-tank combat vehicle was not exported to the Axis powers because  The Chinese military knows that the tanks of the Axis powers are developing too fast, and coupled with the industrial capabilities of Germany and the United States, countries such as Britain and France are simply unable to compete. Therefore, the Chinese military uses this anti-tank tank to suppress the Axis circle.  Exporting it to them is another balancing act. The N4 Timberwolf anti-tank combat vehicle of the Royal Sixth Army is divided into two types. One is to use a crawler chassis to take into account problems such as climbing obstacles in the field, because wheeled combat vehicles cannot.  Crossing obstacles. The wheeled combat vehicle is much faster than the A1 tracked combat vehicle, but it is highly maneuverable and has high survivability in the era of backward tank targeting technology. However, the export of anti-tank warfare.  All vehicles are tracked. The Chinese military has very strict control over strategic weapons technology. The chassis is a 6*6 wheeled body structure. The body and turret are both armored steel welded structures.  It is resistant to 13mm bullets and has general anti-infantry combat capabilities. It has a full combat weight and a crew of 4. It has a maximum range of 1cs kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 89o kilometers. It can shoot a 1c5mm high-bore low-recoil rifled gun, including tail stabilizer detachment.  A variety of Chinese Empire standard tank gun ammunition, including armor-piercing shells, is equipped with a 13mm vehicle-mounted machine gun, which can cooperate with infantry fighting vehicles. The two thousand anti-tank combat vehicles exported to Spain are all tracked.  Anti-tank guns. In fact, anti-tank guns are just lengthened barrels and use special armor-piercing projectiles for attacking tanks. They can also be regarded as light tanks, because their armor is very thin, and ordinary artillery shells are enough to destroy them.  The anti-tank tanks exported to Spain were very effective in dealing with Franco's rebel tanks on the battlefield. In August 1q36, the rebels launched attacks from the Portuguese border toward Madrid with the support of the German and Italian intervention forces.  They captured Badajoz, C¨¢ceres, Talavera, Toledo and other towns, linking the southern and northern areas of control. In July, the rebels captured Irun and San Sebastian in the north.  , cutting off the connection between the Republic and northern Bu and France. In October, the rebels invaded Madrid in four directions. On November 6, the Spanish Republic government moved to Valencia and formed a regular army with a strength of 300,000.  The Battle of Madrid began. From November 1 to January 1 (]¡üMarch 2016, the Masori soldiers and civilians fought bloody battles and defeated the rebel attacks many times. During this period, the rebels approached far southeast of Madrid from February 6 to 27.  In the Battle of the Earthquake Jalama River, 1;;! tanks were dispatched in an attempt to cut off the communication line from Madrid to the southeastern region. The Spanish Republican Army fought back bravely and put a total of 3 anti-tank tanks into actual combat, destroying the rebel lockup.  ¡· tank, which dealt a heavy blow to the rebels and crushed their attempt in Madrid. After the rebels suffered a defeat in Madrid, they shifted the focus of their attack to the north in June 2011 in an attempt to capture Vizcaya.  Important industrial areas along the Gulf of Basque and Asturias.  For this reason, the rebels concentrated 150,000 troops (meaning 100,000 Italian troops) and launched an attack on Bilbao, the Basque country, but were resolutely resisted by 60,000 Republican troops.  June;!  On July 1, the rebels took advantage of their superior strength to capture Bilbao, and then launched attacks on Santander and Gijon.  In order to reduce the pressure on the northern front, in July and July of the same year, the Republican Army launched two offensive campaigns in Brunette northwest of Madrid on the central front and east of Zaragoza on the eastern front, but they failed to prevent the enemy from attacking the north.  offensive on the front.  On August 1, Santander fell.  On October 2, Gijon, the last Republican base in Asturias, fell.  The fall of the Northern Industrial Zone dealt a heavy blow to the Republic.  On October 1, the government of the Republic moved from Valencia to Barcelona.  On January 5, 1q37, in order to crush the rebels' attempt to attack Madrid again, the Republican Army launched an attack on Teruel, the rebels' main base on the eastern front, and liberated the city, forcing the rebels and interventionist forces to give up their attempts to attack Madrid.  .  Franco¡¯s rebels were so weak that in the end the United States, Germany, and Italy couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and directly sent troops to attack the Spanish government forces.  On the 7th, Franco invested five armies and almost all aircraft and tanks in the Ebro River Valley. With the cooperation of the German and Italian intervention forces, he launched an attack on Aragon. However, the Republican Army only had 11 divisions on the eastern front.  .  On the qth, the fascist army broke through the Republican defense lines and occupied Lleida, Tempe, Vinaros and other places by April 15, dividing the area controlled by the Republican Army into two parts, cutting off Catalonia from the central and central regions.  Southeast region connections.  Then, the rebels divided their forces and attacked Valencia in the south and Barcelona in the north.  To twistTo change the situation and reduce the pressure on Valencia, the Republican Army deployed 7 divisions and more than 100,000 troops in the Ebro River area from July to November to launch the largest offensive campaign since the civil war. After more than 3 months of fierce fighting, 8 enemies were wiped out.  With more than 10,000 troops, the remaining enemy aircraft were shot down and damaged. However, due to the lack of timely replenishment of manpower and material resources, they were forced to go on the defensive and failed to achieve the expected campaign objectives.  On July 23, the rebels and interventionist forces dispatched multiple divisions with a total of ten thousand troops to launch the Battle of Catalonia.  The Republican Army fought and retreated.  On January 1, 1q3q, Barcelona, ??the capital of Catalonia, fell.  On February 8, Figueras, the last stronghold controlled by the Republican Army, fell, and 20,000 Republican troops were disarmed after crossing the French border.  The next day, the rebels and interventionist forces arrived at the French-Spanish border, cutting off the Spanish Republic's continuous connections with other countries.  On February 11, all of Catalonia was occupied.  End of the Second Spanish Republic.  The fall of the Spanish Republic led Franco to establish the pro-Axis Franco-Spanish government. Then Franco secretly formed an alliance with the United States, Germany, and Italy. On the surface, he still used the banner of anti-Comintern to confuse Britain and France.  Since then, the number of Axis Powers has increased to four, and the crisis facing Britain and France has further expanded.
