The journey starts from the Titanic

"No. The South China waters are no longer safe. General merchant ships do not matter. They will not be seized if they dock in South China, but we are warships after all."

The captain said.

MacArthur was satisfied with this answer. In the most difficult moment, he asked for assistance from South China many times. The White House also lobbied South China and China to support the U.S. military in the Philippines. The Chinese were indifferent. They had the opportunity to "behind the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole" and dispatching China. The combined fleet prevented Japan from attacking the Philippines and even attacking the Japanese mainland.

After all, the Japanese combined fleet was still on the Pacific Ocean and had not yet returned. Japan was in its weakest moment.

But they didn't. They just watched indifferently. The Japanese government and the opposition were worried for a while. They only breathed a sigh of relief after the return of the combined fleet and began to celebrate.

The Americans had to swallow the result of failure.

The Americans have not gained nothing. Both China and South China have agreed to protect American diasporas, take in American citizens in Southeast Asia, and provide shelter for American warships and combat personnel entering South China. However, the US warships must leave within the specified time after the replenishment in South China. A friendly neutral country!

In order to combat Japan, the United States ordered a large amount of rubber oil supplies from South China to prevent these production capacity from falling into the hands of the enemy, just as the British could not stop American businessmen from selling supplies to Germany, so they used money to buy Americans. The practice is the same.

The United States urgently needs rubber. After the William Consortium reached a major deal with South China’s largest rubber company, Acorn International, it was still not satisfied and began to control the rubber resources in South America to prevent Brazilian rubber from falling into German hands.

So the U.S. Atlantic Fleet was ready to land in northeastern Brazil to fight against the pro-Nazis there. Brazil has 1.5 million descendants of Germans. Brazil is Germany's main source of rubber. Britain and the United States will not let South America become Germany's source of resources.

The Brazilians are terrified. How to deal with aggressive Americans is another interesting topic.

ABC in South America is the back garden of either Britain or the United States. During the World War, generally they can only play the role of soy sauce congregation honestly.

If you look back to the Western Pacific, you will find that Tokyo newspapers are constantly advocating Sino-Japanese friendship and building a co-prosperity circle in East Asia. Shanghai newspapers are also echoing the friendship between China and Japan.

It seems to have witnessed the rise of Asia, the rise of the yellow race, and the concerted efforts to defeat the white powers.

This kind of hello and my good feeling is especially strong in the hearts of Chinese and Japanese expatriates living abroad in Southeast Asia (except South China). They are worried that they will be affected by the war.

Historically, Japan has massacred the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. It is impossible for this face to happen.

It was the proud white man who had suffered. The frenzied Japanese forces forced the American and Philippine captives to march and tortured the captives.

Originally, MacArthur had the opportunity to taste this taste, but he ran away.

The situation is very good. In this case, Yamamoto and Ishihara Wanji meet.

"I knew that the navy was so mighty, it should have occupied Hawaii at that time." Ishihara smiled regretfully.

"The results of the Battle of Pearl Harbor are brilliant, but the power gap between the Empire and the United States is still obvious. We have only bought two years of precious time. If we do not seize the favorable opportunity to negotiate with the United States as soon as possible to end the war, I am afraid..."

Yamamoto Fifty-Six said grimly, without much excitement on his face.

"Moreover, the Chinese people's attitude is not clear. Their navy, um, the Chinese combined fleet does not have a battleship, but the number and quality of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft are not inferior to the imperial combined fleet." Yamamoto 56 Yamamoto 56 Said again.

Ishihara Waner sank, and tried: "Can you fight the Chinese United Fleet again..."

I didn’t say the following words, but the meaning was obvious. Yamamoto Fifty-Six shook his head: "The Chinese are very cautious and take great precautions. They also have rich experience in aircraft carrier combat. It is not easy to enter the South China Sea and the Java Sea!"

"The attitude of the Chinese will soon be seen. I think they will not let the empire occupy Singapore. Japan will soon be in conflict with South China." Yamamoto said calmly.

"This..." Ishihara smiled hesitantly, frowned, feeling troubled.

The most terrifying thing is that China and the United States colluded to sell the empire to the United States.

This possibility exists.

However, because China is fighting the Soviet Union, standing on the side of Germany, and also intervening in the Middle East, and there are strategic conflicts with Britain and the United States, it is not easy to unite!

Ishihara Waner was also a little bit unable to grasp the direction of the war. The only thing he could grasp was to seize the favorable opportunities of the past few years to go south and expand the empire's living space as much as possible!

The Malacca Strait, the South China oil production area is within easy reach, and Palembang, the southern port of Sumatra, is still South China’s industrial center and one of the military port bases. How can Japanese aircraft be easily deployed on the Malay Peninsula across the sea?

Chapter 7 The Bloody Wind Goes to Southeast Asia

Sure enough, the southern front army led by Fengwen Yamashita rushed into the Gulf of Siam and landed from Kota Bharu and Songkhla in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, planning to quickly go south and take a roundabout occupation of Singapore.

The British spent huge sums of money to build the fortress of Singapore's military port, mainly in the face of naval invasion, and has been guarding against South China in the south, ignoring the threat from the land.

In the face of the Japanese army killed from behind, if history has not changed, the British will fail for sure, just like the French who was detoured by the Germans and the chrysanthemum exploded behind the back, the ending is painful.

The first thing that got nervous was Nanhua. In the conversation with Song Ziwen, He Wenxiu made it clear that he would never let Singapore fall into the hands of Japan, even at any price.

"This time, Nanhua will not indulge you anymore, you must pay attention to our voice. Nanhua has Nanhua's strategic interests!"

He Wenxiu's words were decisive, making Song Ziwen and others embarrassed.

Before defeating the Soviet Union, Wuhan did not want to go to war with Japan, nor did he want Singapore to fall into the hands of Japan, so he reiterated that he would abide by the Chinese Alliance and put pressure on Japan.

If a war really breaks out, it will definitely stand on the side of South China, and at the same time, it is recommended that South China act first to solve Singapore’s troubles in advance.

At 10 Downing Street, London, Churchill was surprised and delighted when the Pacific War broke out suddenly. The United States finally joined the war. Although it only declared war on Japan and did not confront the Germans, it will sooner or later form an alliance with Britain and jointly deal with Germany.

"Singapore, what a trouble! Damn Japan, damn South China, damn China, damn Asian! How dare you threaten the empire!"

Churchill was smoking a cigar, his brows furrowed, and he kept thinking.

Just received news from Asia, South China urgently urged Britain to withdraw from Singapore and make Singapore an undefended city. At the same time, it sent a note to Japan not to attack Singapore.

The time is very short. After thinking about it, Singapore’s British army is still relatively strong, with a scale of 100,000 people and a squadron of the Royal Fleet. But at the same time, he has to admit painfully that there is Japan in the front and South China in the back. With China watching, Britain will lose Singapore.

The Malay Peninsula has already been surrounded by China and South China. It was safe before, but the two sides did not break their skin.

Now the reckless Japanese got in with a kick, not only kicking the British, but also putting a thorn in the heart of the Chinese. Can the Chinese accept that the Strait of Malacca is cut off?

In Churchill's mind, South Chinese are also Chinese.

"The Asian guys will meet each other sooner or later." Churchill shook his head, thinking of this, with a dark smile on his lips, and ordered the British in Singapore to fight the Japanese army and ignore South China's wishful thinking.

The situation in Southeast Asia is very chaotic. If China and Japan fight each other, then the United States will relieve the pressure and spend more resources in Europe.

As for sending a local fleet to support Singapore, Churchill did not think about it, and could not draw any troops. Moreover, a large number of troops were still in the Middle East and confronted the Chinese Defense Forces to prevent the Chinese Defense Forces from killing the Sinai Peninsula and cutting off the Suez Canal. That would belong to the British Empire. disaster.

If the Americans hadn't been dulling and entering the war earlier, Britain would not have to be so passive now.

Except for the Americans, almost all countries participating in the war are facing the problem of too long fronts. What makes people speechless is that this world war is extremely chaotic. It is not a battle between two distinct camps, but a multi-national melee.

Every country has enemies that it hates and objects that it doesn't want to provoke. For a time, all sorts of co-operation, collusion and secretly guarded scenes are staged on the international stage, so it's so lively.

For example, Japan hopes that the fight between China and the Soviet Union will be more violent. The more Chinese die, the better. At the same time, it also hopes that the Germans will beat the British harder, so that the United States can focus more on Europe to deal with Germany and reduce Japanese pressure.

Since Japan attacked Britain and the United States, the United States and Britain formed an alliance to deal with Japan, and it seemed to deal with Germany—the main energy was to deal with Germany.

The Germans expressed their grievances. We and Japan are separated by vast mountains and rivers. Are we allies?

The intrigue and friction between Japan and the Chinese Alliance have also been noticed by the Germans. Hitler enthusiastically assured Wuhan that Germany will stand by the side of Wuhan. As long as the Chinese are willing to form an alliance with Germany, Germany is willing to help China fight Japan!
