Ouyang Yun himself may not even know, that is, subconsciously, his positioning of the United States is actually more of an enemy. This may be a common problem among time travellers, that is, because they know the direction of history, they always hope to be able to rely on themselves. Ouyang Yun's behavior has aroused considerable criticism both internationally and domestically, but now it seems that his original decisions are not This is so wise and can be called a model of "preparing for a rainy day".
In Ouyang Yun's opinion, even if the United States really intends to form an alliance with Japan to fight against China in the Pacific region, it cannot take practical action too early. Therefore, whether it is withdrawing funds from the United States and evacuating overseas Chinese, or preparing for war, China still has plenty of time.
However, due to an unexpected incident, things progressed much faster than he expected, leaving China in a passive situation for a long period of time.
The person who caused the accident was Wang Mingcheng, the man who was the greatest contributor to the Southeast Asian Japanese army's defeat of the US-Australia coalition forces in the Battle of Shepparton.
When Wang Mingcheng received the news from Koizumi and was asked to suspend all military operations, Wang Mingcheng sensed something was wrong, but at that time he thought that the Americans might surrender to Japan, so although he regretted overacting, it was not too big. Then, when he received the formal notice and learned that the United States and Japan had secretly concluded a treaty, he was dumbfounded.
He has been active in Southeast Asia for a long time and has a certain understanding of the world situation. He naturally knows what kind of negative impact the US-Japan treaty will have on China. Once he thinks that he is the culprit of this scene, he feels like an ant is eating him and sits down. Restless.
On the one hand, he called Koizumi and strongly opposed the signing of a treaty between the United States and Japan; on the other hand, he launched his long-prepared "Japan Exchange Plan", hoping to destroy U.S.-Japanese relations by causing accidents between the United States and Japan.
In his opinion, the United States and Japan are old enemies after all. Even if an alliance is concluded for some reason, the reliability of this alliance is quite low. So as long as some contradictions are deliberately created, a small matter can turn into a big one, thus causing insecurity between the United States and Japan. Cracks to avoid.
He originally ran the "Japan Exchange Plan" in order to one day launch an attack when the Japanese army in Southeast Asia was in decline and protect some important areas from Japanese destruction. But now, because he felt that it was more important to destroy the US-Japan alliance, he decided to use this force in advance. strength.
The person in charge of the "Japan Exchange Plan" is named Zhao Xunhua, a Malaysian Chinese. When Japan was still organizing the Western Expedition Fleet to attack Southeast Asia, Zhao Xunhua had to change his name and became a local Malaysian in order to avoid persecution by the Japanese army. Because he was quite gifted in languages and was proficient in English, Japanese and local languages, he was not only recruited by the Japanese army to become a translator, but he was also quickly picked up by a regiment captain and transferred to him as an adjutant. While working next to him, he came into contact with Wang Mingcheng and was developed into a downline.
According to the provisions of the "Melbourne Secret Treaty", after the secret treaty is reached, Japan will return the US military prisoners of war to the US military in batches. Wang Mingcheng wants to use this to achieve the purpose of destroying the US-Japan alliance by poisoning the US military prisoners of war.
The plan went smoothly at first. Zhao Xunhua, through his men, successfully added potassium cyanide to the food of the American prisoners of war, causing more than 300 American prisoners of war to die suddenly from poisoning. The sudden death of more than 300 American prisoners of war indeed caused This prompted a strong reaction from the United States. On the same day, the US-Australia Allied Forces Command first sent people to strongly protest to Japan and requested an investigation into the cause of death. Then the White House sent a diplomatic note to the Japanese Governor-General of Southeast Asia, asking Japan to give a reasonable explanation. Explain and threaten that the United States will unilaterally tear up the "Melbourne Secret Treaty" if Japan does not severely punish the perpetrators.
Under this situation, if the "Japan Exchange Plan" action team headed by Zhao Xunhua can continue to work hard and cause a few more accidents, it will definitely collapse the already precarious U.S.-Japan alliance in an instant. However, it is regrettable that Japan, in order to dispel the United States, They voluntarily gave up the power of investigation due to suspicions from other parties, and one of the members of the US investigation team happened to be Zhao Xunhua's former neighbor and recognized Zhao Xunhua's true identity. As a result, not only was the poisoning operation discovered by the United States and Japan, but Zhao Xunhua's overseas Chinese identity was also revealed. The poisoning operation was labeled as China.
If Americans were still feeling guilty about China because of the secret treaty with Japan and were afraid to face it directly, after this incident, Americans not only lost their sense of guilt, but also became more confident in joining forces with Japan and anti-China.
Wang Mingcheng's move can be said to mean that he does bad things with good intentions, stealing a chicken but losing a lot of rice.
The Japanese military in Southeast Asia has accelerated the return of U.S. prisoners of war, and correspondingly, ships under the U.S. Pacific Fleet have reappeared in the Pacific waters near Guam.
The "poisoning incident" quickly spread all over the world due to the exaggeration of the domestic media in the United States. The relevant news reached Ouyang Yun's ears. He immediately ordered the evacuation plan to advance from the United States. He telegraphed Guo Muyi and asked him to immediately organize the evacuation of overseas Chinese in the United States. At the same time, he gave an order to Tielin Fei, who had already led his team to Karachi, and ordered him to immediately lead his team to the next airport, Cairo Airport in Egypt. He also called Chu Tiange in the Middle East and ordered him to give up what he was doing. In other work, fully cooperate with Guo Muyi and Tie Linfei to rescue overseas Chinese in the United States.
At this time, the security situation in the Middle East was also affected by the war in Europe. Although the Chinese Middle East Expeditionary Force was a guest army, it was already the most powerful armed force in the region after the French Zionist Army's expedition to the mainland. In addition, China is the de facto host country of the United Nations, so it has naturally obtained the qualification to rely on the Middle East.
Ouyang Yun left the Middle East Expeditionary Force in the Middle East. One was to escort it at the request of the French Restoration Government; the other was for the rich oil resources in the Middle East. Now, on the occasion of the secret treaty between the United States and Japan, the Middle East Expeditionary Force Naturally, we have to take on the task of helping the Chinese in the United States to evacuate.
The Chinese government is preparing to evacuate its overseas Chinese with great fanfare. Naturally, this cannot be hidden from the eyes of the U.S. government. Americans are both happy and worried about this, because with the evacuation of Chinese overseas Chinese, their fixed assets in the United States will be very large. It may become the wealth of the United States and make the U.S. government and individuals make a fortune. Worryingly, given the consistent performance of the Chinese military, they really have no confidence that they can win a possible war.
Some people may ask, has the U.S. government never thought of detaining overseas Chinese? At least for now, this is not true. First, China and the United States have not declared war and are still nominal allies. Second, the United States also has a large number of people in China. expatriates and even government officials. Furthermore, many Americans in Asia are under the control of the Chinese military. Americans would never dare to do this.
