Not just Midway and Guam, but in fact all the islands of the United States in the Pacific and Asia. Because of their special geographical location, these islands are related to whether the Chinese navy can go out of Asia. Although their area is small, their strategic significance is very important. At the beginning of the occupation of these islands, there was a voice in the country, that is, "should these islands be returned to the United States?" In this regard, Ouyang Yun said nothing in public, but in private he used "melon eggs," very rudely. "Idiot" is used as a metaphor for officials who make such claims.
As the Japanese army grew stronger in Southeast Asia and the Ryukyu Army began its attack on the Japanese mainland, the Chinese military had actually enjoyed the benefits of occupying Guam and Midway Islands. With the two islands as supply points, it could imitate the Pacific Fleet and not only complete its attack on the North Pacific. blockade, and also had the ability to circumvent Japanese-occupied Southeast Asia and cruise the Indian Ocean.
Chen Cheng and others have a deep understanding of the military uses of Midway and Guam. Therefore, although he is pro-American and considers national interests, he will never be willing to give up control of these two islands.
For the British Queen's government, its top priority is to move back to the island of Great Britain and even regain dominance in Europe. However, because of its extensive interests in Asia and the Pacific, and because of its natural "close" relationship with the United States, China The discord between beauty still had a long-lasting and far-reaching impact on it.
If you leave aside the United States, the cooperation between China and Britain within the framework of allies and the United Nations in recent years has been pretty good. The key to the British Queen's government being able to regroup in India is that the Chinese Expeditionary Third Army firmly controlled the Denver defense line, allowing the Japanese army to Don't go too far west. The direction of the Middle East also benefits from the participation of the Chinese Middle East Expeditionary Force, so that the British army can stabilize the situation. In addition, Ouyang Yun and the little princess of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company are in a quasi-partnership, and everyone is considered "one of our own" "In many international affairs, both sides have considerable room for action if they take a step back.
According to Churchill's vision, the honeymoon relationship between China and Britain will last until the complete defeat of Germany, because only then will the UK be able to concentrate its efforts on dealing with domestic and non-European problems. As for whether it will be an enemy or a friend by then, because China The military power displayed was becoming increasingly powerful, and Churchill preferred the latter. He believed that as long as China was willing to recognize Britain's traditional interests in Asia, it would not be a bad idea for them to recognize China's occupation of the Soviet Far East. (It is not difficult to see from this point that , Churchill still had considerable strategic vision and knew that the Far East issue would never be able to transition as smoothly as it is now).
Having just learned from the intelligence agency about the secret treaty between the United States and Japan, Churchill reacted greatly. On the one hand, he was ashamed that the U.S. government had not notified the matter in time, and at the same time, he felt that the U.S. government's move was a stupid decision.
"The Japanese are jackals, and they made a treaty with jackals, and Solomon's brain was flooded." At that time, he commented, and thought, "It's a joke. I have to admit that in the overall situation, Solomon and my old friend The difference between Roosevelt and Roosevelt is huge."
However, soon, as the "poisoning incident" broke out, he felt that "Solomon may not be stupid after all" and sighed that "trouble is coming."
Trouble did indeed come quickly. A few days later, Solomon's envoy appeared in front of Churchill, and he brought a "special statement" from the U.S. government and "eager expectations for old friends."
Putting aside the chaotic affairs in Europe, the United States and Britain actually have a common language on China issues. The first is the Myanmar issue, and the second is Malaysia and Singapore. If Hitler was still alive, Churchill would not be in the mood to go there. The problem that concerns Burma, Malaysia and Singapore is that after Hitler died, the British Queen's government almost regained the British mainland without any bloodshed. As a result, Churchill also had the "leisure and elegance" to re-examine his interests in Asia.
If possible, Churchill was not willing to confront China. In the middle of the year, Churchill once visited the United Nations Headquarters. It was during that time that he got to know China again, and he really stopped fighting with China on the Myanmar issue. China’s haunting thoughts.
I have to say that the super bomb is really a good thing. It was also in Guangzhou that Churchill was lucky enough to see the photos taken by Chinese pilots of the super bomb exploding in Japan. He saw the huge mushroom clouds rising into the sky. After the explosion, the bombed area immediately turned into a desert. After truly realizing the power of the super bomb, Churchill had to admit that Napoleon's predictions about China had come true.
"We can no longer be as we were before in the East. No, we must develop our own super bomb immediately. Without super bombs, no matter what happens in the future, we will not be able to stand up straight and have a dialogue with China." At that time. Churchill said this at a meeting after his trip to Guangzhou.
Even if it was just because he was worried about China's super bomb, Churchill would think twice about uniting with the United States to resist China. Of course, because of the unusual natural alliance between the United States and Britain, if the United States government is determined to confront China, he will You can only choose to follow with Ji.
With the help of the "poisoning incident", Solomon confidently and formally raised the anti-China banner. Considering that the United States was charging ahead, and thinking of the commitments of the United States and Japan regarding Malaysia, Singapore and Myanmar, Churchill was moved and decided Let’s take a look first and then talk.
Just to take a look, preparations had to be made, so for two weeks in a row, British troops in the Middle East and Southeast Asia were mobilized frequently, and this situation immediately attracted the attention of the Chinese Supreme Command.
If the United States, Britain, and Japan really form an alliance against China, it will not be aggravating the situation for China, which has not yet emerged from the shadow of war, but the blow will not be small. No matter how conceited Ouyang Yun is, he does not believe that China already has the ability to fight against the United States, Britain, and Japan at the same time. The capabilities of the three countries. On the day when the U.S. evacuation operation officially began, Ouyang Yun convened a telephone conference in Chongqing, and the content of the conference was to make new strategic arrangements in response to the current international situation.
"…Because of the 'poisoning incident', the United States is very likely to launch military operations immediately. Of course, it is not ruled out that the United States will blackmail us with force and demand that we return the islands we occupy in the Pacific and withdraw from the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Let me first explain the highest level of The opinion of the high command is that we will never give up our vested interests. If the Americans want to fight, then they will fight."
"Bah bang bang..." Even though it was a conference call, applause still rang out. It was obvious that Ouyang Yun's words hit the mark in the hearts of most people.
"In addition, according to the intelligence we have, the UK is very likely to join the US-Japan alliance, so everyone, what we are facing will be unprecedented challenges."
"I think we should be wary of the Soviets." Feng Yuxiang suddenly interjected.
Ouyang Yun frowned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Feng is right, the Soviets will definitely take action, so what we will face is a situation of being besieged on all sides. Everyone, are you afraid?"
