Qiao Yu was in Beijing but his mind was not here. In Europe, Germany and the Soviet Union carved up Poland, and then Germany pointed its aggression at the Balkans. Of course, this was just an appetizer. Hitler's next target was Northern and Western Europe.
With the assistance of China, the Nazi tanks were much sharper than in history. The biggest improvement was the navy. This time in the attack on Poland, the Nazi navy also participated. Carrier-based aircraft took off four times from the aircraft carrier Munich.
More than a hundred aircraft sorties launched fierce bombings against the fortifications in Poland. The advantage of carrier-based aircraft was further highlighted. Germany was delighted. They already regarded aircraft carriers as the ultimate weapon to defeat British hegemony. Hitler also ordered the navy to
Prioritize the production of aircraft carriers and create a powerful Nazi navy to protect Germany's expansion.
The war in Europe has attracted everyone's attention, and the problems in Asia are also a bit worrying. China, the only country in Southeast Asia that maintains sovereignty, is suffering from unprecedented civil strife. It has to make people worry that peace in the Asia-Pacific region will also
Go away
Jiang Baili came to Qiao Yu's presidential officer, Gao. As soon as he met him, he said: "We have found out the situation of President Zunluo's uprising. The Japanese were indeed involved in it. It was they who provided support to the democrats and who instigated it."
Strikes and uprisings!”
"Hirohito is really uneasy. He is watching Germany going smoothly in Europe and is eager to expand. Brother Baili, do you think we should declare war with Japan now, completely remove Japan from the list of powerful countries and even let the four
Island and land sink!”
"The president is joking. The war situation in Europe is unclear now, and Japan is an ally of Germany. It would be unwise for us to rashly start a war with Japan. Besides, haven't you always advocated entering the war late to make war profits?"
"That's what I really thought about. It's just that Japan is jumping up and down right now. It's too annoying."
"In fact, why do you have to do it yourself to deal with Japan? This time Japan dares to stir up trouble by sending Romania, we can do the same thing in the Philippines to stir up conflicts between Japan and the United States. It is best to drag the Americans into the water first, and we can sit on the side of the mountain.
Watch the tiger fight!"
As soon as Jiang Baili's suggestion was put forward, Qiao Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. This was indeed a good idea. The Philippines is still a colony of the United States, but the location of this land is very important. If China wants to dominate East Asia, it must drive out the United States.
In Asia, the most critical thing is to get the Americans out of the Philippines, but China is unwilling to directly confront the United States. This is the most troublesome thing. Qiao Yu knows very well that confronting the United States, the world's industrial hegemon, at this time is definitely a matter of seeking death, but
It doesn’t mean that China can’t cause obstacles for the United States.
The Philippines is a good entry point. Americans do not have rich experience in managing colonies. There are many resistance forces throughout the Philippines. American soldiers are constantly losing their lives in chaos. There are even voices in the United States that want to abandon this place. But
As a springboard for the United States to intervene in Asia, the Philippines has very important strategic value and cannot be given up easily.
"Brother Baili, are you confident that the Americans will focus their suspicion on Japan?"
"There is absolutely no problem with this. In fact, Japan has been continuously penetrating into the Philippines in recent years. They have secretly supported several armed forces. If they want to seize the entire Philippines at the right time, Japan does not need to have its homeland and Southeast Asian colonies be captured.
Taiwan and Ryukyu are separated, and they need the Philippines as a springboard to form a comprehensive encirclement against China!"
Although China's naval power is not weak at present, especially its aviation force, which has an important position in the world, its main scope of activities is still concentrated in adjacent sea areas. This is inseparable from China's topography. From the current point of view, China
Has basically broken through the first island chain
However, there are still Japanese and British forces in the Nanyang region, and many small islands in the Pacific east of Ryukyu are still under the control of Kaiben. This is not a good thing for the Chinese navy to go out to the Pacific. If Japan can control the Philippines, it will
China's blockade is tighter
This is also one of the considerations of the Japanese high-level officials. Of course, this so-called encirclement is still a thing played by the Japanese themselves. The Chinese side looks down on it at all. The main reason is that Japan does not have enough troops to defend such a broad front. On the contrary, it will be destroyed due to fortification everywhere.
spread out forces
Of course, there will indeed be a little pressure before it is officially launched. Qiao Yu thought about it and said: "Brother Baili, you are immediately planning to create trouble in the Philippines, provoke conflicts between Japan and the United States, and make these two countries confront each other.
"Pinching is the best. In addition, the Kra Canal project must be accelerated. We need a canal that can carry ships of more than 30,000 tons. The Chinese navy must break the blockade and enter the Indian Ocean first!"
The value of the Indian Ocean lies in the Middle East. If China's combined power can reach the Indian Ocean, it will have a say in the oil treasure house in the Middle East. Controlling this oil treasure house is China's best opportunity to become a world hegemon. What do you think about China?
The value is simply immeasurable
Qiao Yu had to make arrangements as soon as possible. Jiang Baili understood Qiao Yu's thoughts very well and immediately went to make arrangements. China's state machine was running at high speed.
Manila, Philippines!
An American military vehicle arrogantly passed through the narrow street at high speed. The people on the road hurriedly avoided it, and several people were even almost hit. However, the people in the vehicle did not slow down, but instead accelerated.
speed, as if venting the dissatisfaction in my heart
The owner of this car is the famous American General MacArthur. This guy will be famous in later generations and is also a household name in the United States. However, throughout his life, only the Inchon landing can be regarded as a military miracle. However, he was soon replaced by another army.
An even more miraculous military defeat leaves Lao Mai in danger of dying
However, MacArthur has a "very great skill", that is, acting, and he is also very good at talking. After being driven from the Philippines to Australia by Japan, he could shamelessly declare that I will definitely fight back; when he finally defeated North Korea, he could still
Saying that veterans never die is just a gradual adjustment to zero, pushing the acting skills to an extreme.
A first-rate actor, a second-rate politician, and a third-rate military strategist are the best words to describe him!
At this time, MacArthur had not yet reached the heights of later generations. He was now very irritable. The main reason was that the United States asked him to retire from active service and form the Philippine Army. This made MacArthur very uncomfortable. He always believed that his stage was the United States Army, a small army.
What is a small Philippines? It is not worth worrying about for such a great man. The US government is simply confused.
After venting his emotions while racing, MacArthur went straight to his official residence. Just when he was less than a hundred meters away from his home, a black shadow suddenly appeared at the intersection and threw a black shadow at MacArthur.
Huhu things
MacArthur was also a very responsive person. He immediately sensed that the situation was not good. He went out to race without bringing enough guards. Isn't this fatal? He hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and sped away. At this moment, this black thing
It exploded behind his car. The air wave shattered all the bowls behind the car. The broken bowls pierced MacArthur's back. A burst of heart-breaking pain made MacArthur tremble all over. Fortunately, there were no fatal injuries.
But the anger in MacArthur's heart has gone straight to the top. This man is so unlucky that his teeth will be blocked even after drinking cold water. He dares to assassinate himself. He simply doesn't want to live!
At this time, the sound of the explosion had alerted the nearby military police. Soon a large number of guards came to protect MacArthur, and a large number of people went to arrest the murderer.
The doctor gave MacArthur a simple treatment, cleaned the wound, and took out the bowl and shrapnel. Just as MacArthur was grinning in pain, a large number of reporters had already heard the news.
MacArthur immediately became energetic. This was another good opportunity to show his acting skills. MacArthur asked the doctor to treat the wound as soon as possible.
Nirvana of Assassination
As soon as he saw these reporters, he immediately waved his hands vigorously, "Journalists, I was just bitten by a mosquito. You know the mosquitoes in Manila are very powerful. Thank you for your concern for me!"
MacArthur's one sentence made all the reporters laugh. This is the general in the eyes of Americans, who is unyielding, brave and fearless.
"I just want to say a few words about this incident. First, American generals will not be frightened by despicable means; second, the murderer must receive justice!"
MacArthur's sonorous words drew another burst of cheers. MacArthur's performance was perfect. However, after sending away the reporters, he immediately ordered the entire city to be under martial law. The murderer must be dug out, and at the same time he doubled the number of guards.
, no one will joke with their own lives
News soon came that they had found the murderer's body, but there was no identification around him, so they couldn't confirm the person's identity, but judging from the shape of his feet, he should be Japanese.
When MacArthur heard that there was a problem with the Japanese, he immediately flew into a rage. It was outrageous that these little surnames dared to assassinate him. He immediately ordered the investigation to focus on the Japanese, and soon made new gains.
, they discovered a large number of secret documents in Japanese business institutions
Among them were the military garrison situation in the Philippines, maps and mineral resources, and port hydrological data. There was so much information that the Americans were dumbfounded. Under their own eyes, the Japanese secretly made so many moves. The shock to the Americans was absolutely unparalleled.
Yes, even Washington can’t sit still (to be continued)
