Volume V: Battle of Britain Chapter 111: Undeclared War

The world pattern is about to face change, and making necessary adjustments has become an inevitable reality. Whether it is past or present, the Third German Empire must win an ally in the East, but there are indeed too few choices.

Before Yo-year, Germany chose China with a huge population and raw materials. During that period, Sino-German cooperation was never terminated, and the cooperation method of exchanging arms for resources was always very pleasant. Even after Japan invaded China, Germany and China's cooperation continued. The few German armed divisions still in the Central Army are the best evidence.

Given the development of the war situation, China lost most of its territory in a very short period of time, Germany began to shake the Sino-German cooperation. It is generally believed that cooperation has lost its value and there is no interest in finding an ally who has lost most of its territory. In this way, it turned its attention to Japan, which occupied most of its territory.

Japan is the first country in Asia to embark on modern and modern militarization. The military strength it has always shown cannot be underestimated. In fact, since the beginning of Dao Nian, many generals and politicians in Germany have believed that looking for allies in Asia, so the allies of Asia are Japan. Japan has shown strong military strength, and their navy is even more eye-catching. At the same time, both sides also have basic interests similarities.

War has never had justice and injustice. The reason why war broke out has no moral relationship at all. It has never stopped since the beginning of a living creature. War is a collision caused by the powerful or weak side to plunder interests. The so-called "justice" is just to find courage to resist or excuses for invasion. In addition to providing necessary communication, the appearance of words may be used to distort facts.

The German Third Reich found allies in the East because of the following considerations: first, it was to provide a new and sufficient source of raw materials to provide raw materials for the war that had been preparing for the outbreak of now; second, when necessary, it shared the pressure from the Soviet republics for the German Third Reich when the German-Soviet War broke out, and fought with the East's allies in the East; third, given the existence of the great powers in the Yayuan colony, the Eastern allies assumed the powers to defeat the great powers and gain control of the colonies when they started the war, and provided more and cheaper resource support for the entire Axis powers.

Based on the above basic points, the only thing worth fighting for is Japan, the Asian country. Germany's previous lack of attention may have emotional factors from the head of state, but that is only a small factor. The whole process is more of the reserve before the situation is clear. In fact, the military cooperation between the Third Reich and the Japanese Empire did not stop because of this unpleasantness.

The so-called "unclear situation" refers to the attitude of the United States. The United States has never stopped selling arms to both sides of the war. This is also what the German Third Reich needs. Even if the United States sells less arms to the German Third Reich than the allies. The United States is a country with interests as the core, and as long as it can get benefits, it will not care about which side will win the final victory. The United States did not respond when the German Third Reich occupied Poland and France, and it also came from this point.

Net ugly fancy

After the outbreak of the war, the Third German Empire never stopped its indiscriminate attack on Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, even if the United States was sunk, countless ships did not say anything, because it had not touched the fundamental interests of the United States. However, the recent military operations of the Third German Empire had touched the fundamental interests of the United States, so the United States began to take action, and the increase in the United States' support for allies was the best proof.

In the second half of the year, the Third German Empire began to attack southern Europe, first attacking Yugoslavia and opened up a coordinated invasion of the Italian army to Greece, and then completely occupied the Mediterranean and basically controlled the important maritime transportation line of the Mediterranean. If the invasion of the European coastal countries of the Axis powers in the Mediterranean was only the core of the United States' "European coordination", then the Axis powers went to the United States on the African battlefield and sounded the alarm bell.

The United States has always cherished local resources very much. Their development method is "from the outside to the inside." That is to say, it is to try not to use local primitive resources and import them from overseas colonies through plunder.

It has to be said that Americans’ wisdom in this regard is unparalleled. After all, resources belong to contemporary people and to future generations. Even if there are too many resources, they will be exhausted on the day. Their plunder of colonial resources seems to have foolishly increased costs, but they ensure that local resources are complete and absolutely sufficient when needed in an emergency. In fact, not everyone in the United States agrees with this point, but they still do this. Even those consortiums that regard interests as the commanding heights cooperate with the government to implement this seemingly stupid career.

The Axis powers' military operations in Africa cut off the United States' access to cheap resources, and the subsequent occupation of the Indonesian archipelago further threatened the Philippines, and the impact of its Asian routes was even greater.

The Third Reich's military operations in Oceania had a huge impact on the United States, making Americans the first

Knowing, Wan:: The two junctures are not very far away from them, and the following military movements deeply stimulated the United States, making them unable to ignore them anymore. In just half a year, the United States has increased the strength of a division to the Philippines. Don’t underestimate this division. The strength of a division may not be anything to many countries, but it is one-twentieth for the United States, which has less than twenty standing divisions.

In recent times, as the Axis powers landed on Britain, seeing that the British mainland was about to fall, the entire Europe was about to fall into control of the Axis powers. Those in the United States who were isolated and indifferent began to reflect: "What will happen to us when Europe and Zhejiang completely lose their control of Africa and Oceania?"

It is conceivable that the Axis powers with strong expansion consciousness will never let the United States, which is far away from the Atlantic Ocean, let alone Japan, which is fighting against China.

The United States began to act and unilaterally terminated trade with the Third Reich of Germany. In view of Japan's unbridled expansion in the Pacific, the United States also banned imports to Japan on some resources, including oil and heavy metals.

Net ugly

Japan's loss of heavy metals may not hurt its vitality, because Japan has Chinese-occupied areas to plunder. However, if Japan loses its oil import pipeline, its army will not be in trouble. Navy ships will definitely become scrap iron.

Roosevelt spoke to Congress: "If we ignore "wars that have nothing to do with us. When we have to take up our weapons to fight against the whisperer, we will fight the whole world. It is time to act, and we must arm ourselves! The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are becoming less and less time as natural defense lines, and joining the war has become a necessary action for the sake of American security!"

Just the third day after Roosevelt's speech, a surprising message came from Asia. The Japanese and Germanic mothers clashed in Indonesia, and the Germanic submarine sank a Japanese light cruiser.

Although I don’t know what happened, the news made the Americans ecstatic, and they shouted: “That’s great! Those two damn countries fought themselves, we’re safe.”

But

The Americans' happy expressions lasted less than a day, and news came from Asia that the Japanese fleet frequently appeared on the coast of the Philippines. During the warning period, they went to the US troops stationed in the Philippines to fire, causing twenty-six people to be injured. Eleven American men went to see God.

Yes, the embargo of the United States after being provoked was reasonable and normal in their own opinion, but in the eyes of the Japanese, it was undoubtedly a disguised declaration of war, so the Japanese who had been related to the "fine tradition" had already developed their "fine tradition" and carried out a war. It seemed that the Japanese did not intend to declare war, at least they and China have never declared war since they fought for the past year.

Before the US lawmakers could discuss how to deal with it, new, shocking news came again, a bigger and more intense conflict broke out between the Japanese and German troops, and fierce fire exchanges could be heard from the direction of the Philippines, and the Japanese and German troops fought more fiercely!

I have to say that the Americans didn't understand what happened, but there was one thing that was very clear, that was, centered on the Indonesian archipelago, it was surrounded by a chaotic army, and there were warring troops everywhere, and it seemed that some US troops were also involved in the war. They had no idea how to judge the situation and were at a loss in the face of a mess.

In Pailin, several continents, the alliance negotiations between the Third German Empire and the Japanese Empire are underway. Both sides have not talked about anything in Oceania at all. It seems that conflict and war do not exist at all.

When the Japanese side, who had not received any relevant information in advance, they were still unresponsive when they learned that the Third Reich of Germany had finally delivered an olive branch. They thought that their strategy had been successful, and finally attracted the attention of the German senior management in the way of influencing local commanders.

The Japanese diplomat in Pailin took Hiroshima Oshima as the center. First, he determined that this was an alliance negotiation, and immediately sent an emergency message to the domestic base camp. The sentence in the article was profound: "The long-term efforts were finally responded, and the German head of state personally met us. It can be seen that the head of state was not very happy, but the achievements we achieved in the military finally forced the proud head of state to pay attention to it."

The negotiations were not at all twists and turns, and there was not even any difference. In fact, the Japanese Empire, which had long been unable to wait, had prepared a major maritime operation. The negotiations had already set sail when they were still continuing. They would suddenly paralyze the US fleet in unexpected ways and then sweep across South Asia.

When the foreign ministers of both sides signed and confirmed that the alliance came into effect, the conflict in the Indonesian archipelago not only did not subside, but became increasingly serious. Japan, which lost a light cruiser and dozens of sailors, also sent a letter of thanks to the German Third Reich?
