Whether it was the First World War or the Second World War that broke out now, the wars were far away from the United States. Europe was reduced to ruins several times, but the wars in Asia never stopped. The rise and power of the United States are closely related to the relationship between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

The two oceanic barriers are closely related.

In fact, in the final analysis, the U.S. government's global strategy does not care whether the Allies or the Axis win the war. What the United States really cares about is the distribution of interests after the war. This is also the purpose of the United States' intervention in this war, to stimulate a

The industrial output value and manufacturing capacity of the industrial giant are dozens of times that of the entire manufacturing capacity of the Axis Alliance. Doesn't this mean that the Japanese are irrational and crazy? Do they need any reasons or excuses for war?

With a pool of blood and a group of beasts covered with injuries and dying, it is inevitable for the strong lion of the United States to join the war. In history, the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Japanese air raids in Southeast Asia saw the Americans sink two of their own cruisers and then attack Japan.

Declaring war is just a means of war. There is no such thing as justice or injustice in war. There is only the difference between victory and defeat, that's all.

Now, as an isolated island surrounded by Nazi Germany, Britain only relies on the material support that Americans continuously transport from the Atlantic. Apart from Churchill's words and morals, Britain may not be able to provide any substantive help to the United States.

Even the so-called powerful British Royal Navy fleet can only guard the British Isles to guard against the Germans doing anything crazy.

Roosevelt naturally knew the differences between the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the British. Stilwell's inability and inability to do things made Roosevelt very angry. The United States had not yet declared war on Germany. If the Japanese's unscrupulousness in the Far East and their rampage in Southeast Asia were not solved first,

Taboo, then Churchill’s so-called strategy of Europe first and Asia is simply seeking death. The British only care about

As well as himself, his selfishness has reached an intolerable level. The deduction, embezzlement, and misappropriation of U.S. aid supplies to China caused a strong backlash from the Chinese government, so much so that Stilwell stated in his telegram that he could not command the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

One soldier at a time, he sent the chief of staff command to mobilize the troops in the Chinese war zone. How great was the contradiction during this period?

If the Soviet Union were defeated, then the Europe-First-Asia-First strategy would be a worthless piece of paper. When I think of the Japanese army preparing to sweep into India with a stormy wave, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is standing still, and the Chinese frontal battlefield troops are also waiting, waiting for the stubborn

Churchill's reply: Roosevelt really wanted to see the British jokes, especially Churchill's. Although he was very patient every time and sometimes even begged Churchill sincerely, in fact Roosevelt hated this Anglo-Nelson who was arrogant, excessive and selfish to the extreme.

people.

Roosevelt connected the transoceanic phone call with Churchill in the middle of the night. The rustling electromagnetic sound indicated that the line was not good. It was not easy for the United States and the British Royal Navy to maintain one or two lines at this time. This was a rare occasion.

conversation, which would have been a lengthy one using the telegraph

After bargaining, Roosevelt was not confident that he could convince Churchill, who had some time to think carefully. Although Churchill often changed his mind, Roosevelt believed that if he persuaded Churchill this time, Churchill would not dare to change his mind without authorization. After all, this time was related to India's safety.

Survival or death.

In the direction of Imphal, Lord Mountbatten, commander-in-chief of the Allied Southeast Asian Army, learned that the main force of the Japanese army Norihide Abe had crossed the Chindwin River. He hurriedly arrived at the headquarters of the British Fourteenth Army in person.

After Commander Slim's military intelligence report, Mountbatten immediately decided to move the Chindon River

The troops defending along the border in the west were withdrawn to the highlands near Imphal to organize defenses and keep the Japanese offensive troops away from their rear bases. This would force the Japanese troops not only to fight with their backs on the wide Chindwin River, but also to

Completely dependent on very unsafe jungle transportation lines.

In addition, Mountbatten proposed to assemble all available Allied air strike forces, give priority to stealing air supplies to some British troops who were surrounded, and use all their strength to bomb the Japanese ground transport teams to prevent them from obtaining supplies and ammunition, because

Mountbatten knew

I understand that the rainy season in Imphal is as long as that in Myanmar. Heavy rainfall will turn some riverbeds that dry up during the dry season into raging rapids. Therefore, the Japanese army must make a quick victory before the rainy season arrives, otherwise the Japanese attacking troops will have to

Facing a disaster.

In fact, Mountbatten's deployment was basically the same as in history. The main reason why Gao Fei was in other places was that the Japanese army did not have four divisions with more than 100,000 men in history, but nine divisions and four mixed brigades.

Heavy artillery, tanks and corresponding army and navy aviation units, it is said that the Japanese

Our combined fleet has also dispatched aircraft carriers and marines to prepare for landing in the Bay of Bengal. There is even information that the Japanese army has organized an airborne brigade to prepare to seize strategic locations deep in India? It can be said that the intelligence about the Japanese army is flying all over the sky, true or false.

Difficult to distinguish.

However, Gao Fei knew that the Japanese did have two brigades of airborne troops at this moment. The airborne troops of these two brigades belonged to the army and navy respectively. The Japanese airborne troops did not have the American 101st Airborne Division, the British Red Devils,

The German airborne troops are so famous that they can even be said to be an unlucky army composed of unlucky children.

Historically, the German airborne troops achieved great success in the European battlefields. Japan was envious of this, so it began to rush to form its own airborne troops under the conditions of being truly impoverished.

Therefore, preparations for the establishment of an airborne force began in November 1940. After continuous efforts by the Japanese Army, an airborne brigade was finally established in early 1942. However, before that, the Japanese Army was unable to equip its own airborne force.

Its ally Germany also refused to provide them with advanced airborne equipment, so the Japanese Army Airborne Forces

The army still uses infantry tactics and cannot conduct airborne drills at all, let alone use airborne tactics. The entire army does not have a professional paratrooper officer and is completely crossing the river by feeling the stones. Before, Japan

It is true that there are a group of young officers who have studied the airborne profession in Germany, but these people have long been killed or wounded on the Chinese battlefield.

The Navy has also formed an airborne brigade, but the Navy is self-reliant and has its own parachutes. The Army has no way to use it. It has hundreds of submachine guns, Southern Type 99 semi-automatic pistols, Type 99 grenades, etc. The largest number of armed naval airborne troops is
