    "In the past thirty years, we have been dealing with the contradictions in the world, taking advantage of the once-in-a-century opportunity, and finally united as one to gradually overcome our weakness. ¡è Website address: ¡è However, the Soviet and German fascists broke the tranquility and peace for their selfish desires and destroyed the tranquility and peace.  War is forced on us! In the northwest, we fought bloody battles. In Persia, we fought bravely. In many parts of the world, we stick to our promises! But this war can no longer be won by our country alone! Because of this  This war is no longer just a contest between countries, but also a contest between freedom and dictatorship. It is the cry of 60 million people looking forward to a more glorious future after independence! We stand in the darkness before the birth of the new world order. We make today  Our efforts and sacrifices are not for the welfare of you and me, but for our descendants! So we need friends, partners, and allies! The world also needs us to stand up and protect, and we should shoulder our own responsibilities and go  Tell the world that in the eastthere is China!"

    ??¡ª¡ªThe third president of the Republic of China, Yang Qiu.

    The day after the Cairo Declaration, Yang Qiu, who returned to Beijing to report the details and process of the Cairo Conference to Congress, delivered a declaration of war against Germany and Italy.  Following his speech, news of the Sino-British alliance quickly spread around the world.  Britain was the first to get excited. If the Ballista operation ensured the security of the British mainland, then the Cairo Declaration was a shot in the arm, allowing the isolated Britain to suddenly regain its vitality.  Even the most staid and picky parliamentary die-hards all praise Yang Qiu as a world leader and China as the most important ally.

    As the huge arms fleet and a dozen territorial sea-class anti-submarine frigates set off early, they arrived in Portsmouth under the air cover of the British Air Service Group and the escort of the Chinese and British joint fleets. The British people were suddenly overjoyed!  Looking at the captured Soviet tanks painted with the Chinese and British flags, they emerged from the cabin of the fast roll-off wheel.  Hundreds of Warhawks arrived in London on six special occasions via Kabul, Oman, Cairo, Malta and Gibraltar, setting off a Chinese whirlwind across England.  The Chinese flag, Chinese language, Chinese products, Chinese food, etc. have all been exaggerated as symbols of friendship between the two countries.  Even the old gentlemen, known for their rigidity and inefficiency, acted quickly this time. In order to firmly grasp China as an ally, they passed the resolution to declare war on the Soviet Union only three hours after Yang Qiu declared war.

    On July 7, 1940, the Chinese and British parliaments unanimously approved the alliance agreement.  Declared war on Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union, and the puppet states controlled by the three countries.

    Unlike history, the "Cairo Declaration" signed by Yang Qiu was a declaration of a major power in the true sense, so it also triggered a strong response in the Republic of China.  Some people believe that this agreement will involve the country in the threat of a two-front war, while others believe that the Republic of China should not intervene in Europe, but more people are encouraged by it.  Because before this declaration.  Even though the Republic of China was full of muscles, due to geographical location, skin color and other reasons, it was attacked by Europe and the United States, which rejected Japan and the Soviet Union, and could only be regarded as a regional power.  But with the issuance of the Declaration, China finally stepped out of its Asian prison and became equal to Britain, and entered the ranks of world leaders, with the right to share the world and freely export goods after the war.

    This is the right only a superpower has!

    It seems to be to celebrate the declaration.  Thoroughly inspiring the confidence of the Allies, later that day, Chinese Defense Minister Song Ziqing disclosed for the first time some details of the Spring and Summer Offensive in Central Asia when introducing the war situation to Congress.  In front of hundreds of lawmakers and reporters.  Declare victory in the Battle of Tashkent!  At the same time, news of the Battle of Petropavlovsk was made public.

    Shock!

    Only shocked!

    Although there were rumors about the Central Asian battle from time to time, everyone couldn't believe it after Song Ziqing personally announced the news of the two battles.  The Chinese National Defense Force and the Chinese Polish Army annihilated the 500,000 Soviet troops entrenched in Tashkent at the cost of 65,000 casualties!  Soviet general Apanashenko was killed by a plane bomb while fleeing to the mountains.  More than 30,000 artillery pieces of various types were seized!  At the same time, there are still 700,000 main Soviet troops surrounded in the Petropavlovsk Triangle.  The annihilation war can be carried out only after Tashkent's troops move westward!

    The battle report made the whole of China excited!  It even caused a stir in the world!  You know, this country was still being bullied by foreigners thirty years ago, but what about now?  First, the Cairo Declaration established the status of the world's leading country, and then the army surrounded and eliminated dozens of millions of Soviet troops thousands of miles away!  All Chinese people feel happy and proud.  Their soldiers have told the world with their impressive achievements one after another what a powerful military in the world is!  Their president even announced the return of the great Eastern power in Cairo!

    The Sino-British alliance and subsequent declaration of war changed the direction of the world.

    In the United States, Roosevelt took the first step and began to build momentum for the Lend-Lease Act. He asked Congress and the people to support him and provide assistance to those countries on the front line of resisting the fascist Nazis. He claimed that the United States would serve as an arsenal of democracy and would do its best to  Help friendlyThe country won the war.

    In Germany, Hitler, who was pretending to be disarmament, ordered the troops stationed in France to rush into Marseille and Toulon in anger, trying to take over the last bit of French naval power.  But out of pride, Darlan ordered the remaining French ships to sink themselves, and dozens of warships and submarines sank to the bottom of the sea without firing a shot.  This action angered Hitler even more, and he immediately ordered the launch of Project Sea Lion and ordered the Air Force to prepare for bombing Britain.

    In Moscow, Stalin had mixed feelings.  Fortunately, Germany has finally turned its attention to Western Europe, allowing it to appropriately relax its vigilance towards Europe.  Worryingly, the offensive of the Chinese National Defense Forces was too fierce. As soon as the Battle of Tashkent ended, they began to attack the Petropavlovsk encirclement via trains and planes, leaving him and the Soviet government breathless.  Moreover, as China and Britain formed an alliance and the United States began to provide support, he and the Soviet Union were still fighting alone.  So he called Tokyo again, hoping to hold high-level talks immediately, while hinting that he would send representatives to visit Berlin and Cairo with the Japanese ambassador¡ª¡ª

    In the Prime Minister's residence of the Keukachi -ku area, the cabinet members and the Luhai general broke out fiercely, and a thick voice could hear the guards outside the outside.  The provisions against Japan in the Cairo Declaration suddenly lifted the roof of Japan.  The prime ministership competition between Tojo Hideki and Yoneuchi Mitsumasa, the dispute between the army and the navy, the quarrel between the mainland faction and the maritime faction, and the fight between the compromising and hard-line factions towards China.  "Is this the compromise your navy insists on? Look what it brings! Your indulgence allows China to easily pass through the Strait of Malacca! It makes the Soviet allies very dissatisfied with our country's attitude. This is raising tigers to cause trouble. Raising tigers  War! China has already begun preparations, but you are still unwilling to make progress and fight. Is this the national soul of the Japanese Empire?" Shunroku Hata slammed the table with a clang, and he seemed to be deflated in the French East Indies.  Venting out all his anger, he glared at Yamamoto Isoroku and other naval admirals sitting opposite, and loudly rebuked: "If it hadn't been for the sacrifice of our army, I'm afraid the Chinese army would have marched into Siam and Burma! Our army has resisted China's  Why didn't the Navy come to support us when we used aircraft and naval guns? Are we evading? Seventy percent of the empire's annual military expenditures will be taken away by your navy. But when it is needed most, is the navy such a coward?"

    "Your Excellency, Shunroku Hata, please speak politely! At that time, Yamamoto was leading the main force to attack Ceylon and the British Indian Fleet. The Third Fleet in the Philippines was not strong enough." Yamamoto Isoroku was so angry that his face was livid, but he was a junior.  It's not easy to get angry.  However, Nagano was not afraid, shaking his beard and retorted to protect the interests of the navy.

    "Can just two battleships be an excuse to avoid war? You will lose all the spirit of the Empire of Japan!"

    "Baga!" Nagano, no matter how well-educated he was, couldn't help it any longer. He patted the table and stood up: "Shunroku Hata, don't pretend to be crazy here! If your army hadn't made the decision to attack French East Indies without permission, how could the Aoba have done it?  Was sunk? How could China propose to take back the Huatai Island oil field now? It was obviously you who caused the trouble. But you poured dirty water on our navy! Remember, the navy is not a tool of your army. If you have the ability,  Fight it yourself.¡±

    "Okay, how decent is this!" Seeing the quarrel becoming more and more intense.  Mitsumasa Mineuchi was very angry.  He has been having a really hard time recently, especially after the Cairo Declaration was issued. China suddenly pointed the finger at Japan and emphatically demanded the withdrawal of the occupied areas by name.  The Huatai Island Oilfield Agreement will not be renewed.  This caused Sino-Japanese relations to quickly break down.  Seeing that the situation was getting worse, he had to call everyone together to discuss countermeasures.  But he didn't expect to see this scene, and he stamped his feet angrily: "Today is not for you to quarrel, but to come up with a strategy for China."

    "Yes, gentlemen The Chinese have issued a challenge, and now they are agitating for Annan's independence. Once Annan becomes independent and they are allowed to stay for a long time, Burma and Malaya will also be threatened. The empire will be defeated with great difficulty.  The south will be slowly eroded by the Chinese." A voice sounded from the left. Hideki Tojo, who was wearing glasses, had an expressionless face and did not even look at Mitsumasa Yoneuchi. Tojo seemed to be saying to himself: "They  Now they are bringing up Huatai Island. This is going to break the oil lifeblood of the empire! The navy is a big user of oil. Don¡¯t you know how important Huatai Island¡¯s oil is? Balikpapan was bombed by them and has not been repaired yet. If Palembang is also  If it is taken away, can the navy still go to sea? The situation is too dangerous ugh."

    Following his sigh, Shunroku Hata stood up immediately: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, I think we should completely abandon the compromise attitude and take drastic measures! While the main force of China is still entangled in the northwest, we should act as soon as possible! I  The suggestion is to sign an alliance agreement with Germany as soon as possible, and also take the initiative to reconcile the contradiction between the Soviet Union and Germany, and truly realize the four-nation alliance. Militarily, we should also immediately strengthen the number of the army, put the North Korean army on alert, and increase the number of troops on Huatai Island and Hubei.  The number of troops garrisoned in the Hotsk Sea, additional troops to Burma and Siam, and moreStrengthen the army's strength in Okinawa and decisively capture Taiwan and North Korea if necessary  "

    "Increase troops and increase troops. Where are the military expenditures and troops? After marching south, we have gained a lot of benefits, but everything that can be taken out has been taken out. Aren't all the increased military expenditures given to your army to purchase two tank brigades?  Do you have regiments and artillery? As for the rest, although there are still some, most of them need time to be digested. Military expenses are difficult, and troops are even more difficult! The empire has invested 500,000 troops in Southeast Asia and India, and the Korean army already has 100,000 troops.  Ten thousand, there are still 300,000 in Okinawa and Huatai Island, and the remaining 200,000 are in the country. If they are transferred again, will they still be guarded in the country? On the contrary, look at the Chinese people, there are already some in Persia and Central Asia  Two hundred divisions (divisions), twenty in the south, ten in East Borneo, two in Pyongyang, twenty across the Yalu River and Manchuria, five in Taiwan, and fifteen on the southeast coast, with a total number of more than 6 million  How can the empire's military strength be compared? Moreover, China has just won the victory in Tashkent, and has defeated more than two million Soviet troops. The empire's manpower and materials are simply incomparable." Mitsumasa Yoneuchi was very dissatisfied and looked at the east  Jiao Hideki's expressionless face turned around several times.  He understood that Shunroku Hata was just this person's minion. If he hadn't secretly instructed him, how could a senior army general dare to speak nonsense in the hierarchical prime minister's official residence?

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister! Are you trying to boost other people's ambitions? The Soviet army is all farmers and hooligans. How can they be compared with the elite imperial soldiers of the empire? As for the problem of insufficient troops, you can continue to recruit soldiers.  Tojo Hideki rolled his eyes with a cold look: "What's more, the Prime Minister also said just now that although the Chinese have begun to deal with us, two-thirds of their troops are still in Central Asia. Now they are overestimating their capabilities and fighting against us."  Germany and Italy have declared war. The Soviets' letter this time must be to seek an alliance with Germany. In this way, they will face more than 10 million Soviet and German troops! If such a good opportunity is given up, will they have to wait until they defeat the Soviet Union and Germany?  Are people turning around?¡±

    "Don't forget, we have the US Pacific Fleet on our back."

    "The Americans will not participate in the war. As long as we do not take the initiative to attack, they will have no excuse. Therefore, I have asked Asaka Miyakohiko to advise His Majesty the Emperor. We must not give up this great opportunity. Only those non-citizens will keep talking about compromises.  They will ignore the survival rights of tens of millions of people in the empire."

    "Tojo, you!" Mitsumasa Yoneuchi was so angry that he couldn't speak.  Other naval factions and compromise factions with China were also extremely angry. They did not expect that Tojo Hideki, as the cabinet minister of war, would directly override the prime minister and ask the emperor to declare war on China!  Where does this kind of behavior put the Prime Minister¡¯s face?

    "Prime Minister, please rest assured that our Army will never allow a third defeat! Otherwise, I and all the officers will commit suicide to the Emperor!" Hata Shunroku didn't think it was chaotic enough, so he stood up and publicly demanded a declaration of war.

    ?Seppuku?  Can you absolve yourself of responsibility by committing seppuku?  joke!  Why is the Army such a bunch of old-minded horse dung!  Yamamoto Isoroku glanced at Tojo Hideki and Hata Shunroku with disgust, sitting next to them like elm sculptures.  But he knew in his heart that the third Sino-Japanese War might be inevitable.

    "If you can't avoid it, let's have a good fight!"

    ps: Since the National Day, there have been a lot of things. The busier I am, the more impatient I am, which leads to a lack of thinking, so I haven¡¯t been able to write well recently.  The updates will be slower in the past few days, and I hope to get back to the rhythm as soon as possible.
