In mid-October, the situation in North America underwent a fundamental reversal. The U.S. military launched attacks on the Japanese army on all fronts. Although the Japanese army adopted a combination of mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, they constantly harassed the U.S. military's rear and waited for opportunities to annihilate lone U.S. troops in order to improve the situation.
It was an unfavorable situation, but in the face of the US military with absolutely superior military strength, all kinds of fantastic combat plans were ruthlessly crushed by the Americans.
The exhausted Japanese army organized troops to resist heroically while seizing the opportunity to evacuate factories, enterprises and combat supplies, not even wanting to leave a single screw for the Americans.
The tenacity of the Japanese caused a lot of trouble for the Americans, and bloody scenes like slaughterhouses can be seen everywhere. Among them, the most tragic ones were the northern battlefields. In the fierce fighting that lasted for more than a month, Waukegan and Milwaukee around the Great Lakes
, Madison, Appleton, Eau Claire, Minneapolis, Duluth and other cities were almost reduced to a scorched earth, with the bodies of fallen American and Japanese soldiers everywhere.
In terms of industrial and agricultural production alone, the reconstruction work in these areas will take at least five years to complete, and it will take several more years to slowly recover.
However, the madness of the Japanese army could not cover up its powerlessness in the face of the U.S. counterattack. The Japanese troops on all fronts were retreating to the rear. Among them, the Japanese troops on the northern front had to retreat to Canada and build a defense line along the border.
Judging from the progress of the war, it should only be a matter of time before the U.S. Army, whose equipment has been greatly strengthened, regains its homeland and even the North American continent.
In North Africa, with the Anjia Army occupying and consolidating the Egyptian defense line, the Allied forces were finally able to free their hands to prepare counterattacks against the Mediterranean islands and Libya, and to relieve the siege of Tunisia.
On the Soviet-German battlefield, the summer offensive ended with the victory of the Soviet army. The Soviet Kalinin Front Army and the Northwest Front Army successfully liberated a large area of land east of the Pola River and Volga River, and even advanced to Lake Onega in the north - Slovakia.
The line between the Ver River and the Volruf River seriously threatened the security of Leningrad where the German army was entrenched.
In Stalin's eyes, the Red Army officers and soldiers armed with Bushelvism did not need to rest at all. They only needed to follow the deployment of their superiors, fight again and again, and kill as many people as possible before the Germans fully reacted.
Liberate the land that fell under the iron heel of the German invaders.
At the same time, the Soviet Union once again borrowed 20 billion yuan from the Alliance Bank, all of which was used for the purchase of combat supplies. A steady stream of food, fuel, military uniforms and other supplies, as well as tanks, aircraft, artillery and other weapons and equipment, arrived by rail and road.
Moscow, arm the Soviet army division by division.
As of late September, the Soviet army had fully restored the organizational structure of the Karelia Front, Leningrad Front, Volkhov Front, Stalingrad Front, Southern Front and Caucasus Front, with the total strength swelling to 10 million.
Regardless of whether these soldiers were qualified fighters or not, or whether they were composed of the old, weak, sick or disabled, in Stalin's eyes, he finally had enough capital to fight back.
On September 26, Stalin issued a combat order in the name of the headquarters of the Soviet Supreme Command: The Soviet winter offensive will officially launch around October 20. The first phase goal is to completely liberate the Central Russian Highlands and the Don River.
The land in the east of Edom was strategically in a posture of subjugation against the Germans, completely reversing the situation in which the Soviet army could only passively defend on the Soviet-German battlefield.
Under such circumstances, in mid-October, U.S. President Roosevelt expressed his willingness to hold talks with Churchill, Stalin, and Chiang Kai-shek to President Xi Anyi of South China.
On October 20, An Yi sent a reply to Roosevelt, agreeing to the meeting and suggesting that the meeting be held in Cairo, the newly restored capital of Egypt.
Roosevelt then called Churchill, Stalin and Chiang Kai-shek. Except for Stalin who refused on the excuse that he was too busy with military affairs to leave without permission, the other two agreed to hold a meeting in Cairo.
Subsequently, the four foreign ministers held a meeting in Washington, the capital of the United States, and decided to hold the meeting in Cairo from November 22 to 26. Since Stalin, who was the main force in the war against Germany, did not attend the meeting, the main content of this meeting was to
Issues such as the war in Japan and the post-war disposition of Japan.
The "Free France" movement was very angry that they were not invited to attend the meeting, but Roosevelt's answer was simple: the current Vichy government is the only legitimate government recognized by the French people, and the Vichy government is still an accomplice of Nazi Germany.
Unless the "Free France" movement legally obtains political power in France, the agreement signed by its leaders at a formal international conference will not have legal effect, which is unacceptable to the United States, which values international justice and justice.
De Gaulle yelled for a while and stopped protesting, because in order to appease him, Allied Commander Eisenhower appointed him the position of "French High Commissioner for Northwest Africa" and recognized the legal status of the French National Liberation Committee led by De Gaulle on behalf of the US government.
De Gaulle was allowed to expand the "Free French" army on his own in northwest Africa, with all costs paid for by the United States.
In late October, An Yi attended the founding ceremonies of the Kingdom of Malaysia and the Republic of Myanmar. He immediately recognized the independence of the two countries on behalf of the South China government and accepted them into the Karachi currency system.
The Kingdom of Malaysia is headed by the pro-China Sultan of Pahang, and its territory includes the central and western parts of the former Pahang state, the western part of Terengganu state, the southern part of Kelantan, the southeastern part of Perak, the eastern part of Selangor and the northeastern part of Negeri Sembilan.
It is composed of regions with a total territory of 65,000 square kilometers. Except for the capital Kuantan, which is a seaport city, the rest of the territory is surrounded by Nanhua territory.
The Kingdom of Malaysia is a secular monarchy, and the state religion is Islam. Due to the separation of the Chinese, the country is composed of 31 ethnic groups including Malays, Indians, Ibans, and Kadazans. After years of cruel oppression by Japan,
and immigration operations. At present, this newly invaded country only has a population of more than two million, and most of them are women, children and the elderly. The young and middle-aged people were transported to Australia by the Japanese army to mine and build roads.
The territory of the Republic of Myanmar is mainly composed of Tanintharyi, Mon State, Karen State, and Kayah State. The capital is Mawlamyine. The total territory area is 98,000 square kilometers. The total population is 3.5 million, mostly from Myanmar.
Migrated from other areas. The main ethnic groups are Bamar, Karen, Mon, Baixiu and Silong.
The Republic of Myanmar adopts a multi-party democracy. After election, the pro-China Myanmar National People’s Party Chairman U Myo (a Burmese) served as the first president. According to the newly formulated constitution, Anjiajun will assume the defense of Myanmar in the next ten years.
During this period, he helped the Myanmar government establish the National Defense Force, and gradually withdrew ten years later when the situation stabilized.
Within a month after the establishment of the two countries, all other countries in the Allied Powers, except the United Kingdom, announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the two countries. Even Germany, Italy, and a series of countries in the Americas among the Axis Powers also announced their recognition of the two countries.
Nan Hua's behavior wore a veneer of legality.
With the establishment of these two countries, there have been as many as forty-six countries joining the Karachi currency system. In addition to the new countries established with the support of the South China government and the army, they also include several African countries that have recently escaped from the German and Italian armies and
The countries that are striving for independence, as well as the two major powers, the Soviet Union and China, which rely heavily on the Hua Yuan, have gained momentum.
On November 15, An Yi and first lady Ou Chuer took a special plane to North Africa.
The plane made short stops in Kolkata, Mumbai, Karachi, Donjon City (former Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan, now the capital of Gulf East Province), and Haojing City (Basra, now the capital of Gulf North Province). During this period, An Yi
We listened to reports from the garrison generals and the main leaders of the Military Control Commission, and inspected some key enterprises. We fully affirmed everyone's work.
On the afternoon of the 21st, escorted by two fighter squadrons, An Yi's special plane arrived safely in Egypt. When the fleet of planes hovered over Cairo, An Yi looked at the city below with great interest, but unfortunately the sky was filled with yellow.
The sand blocked the view, making it impossible to see the scene below clearly from the sky.
This was the first time An Yi came to this ancient city with a history of five thousand years. When the plane landed at the military airport in the southeast of Cairo, An Yi could finally take a look:
The boundless desert and Gobi are not far from the city. The Nile River is like a silver link. It flows through the city of Cairo, and then divides into two branches in the north. Continuing north, there are mosques and thousands of pagodas along both sides of the Nile River.
Coupled with various European stone buildings, Middle Eastern brick and wood buildings, and various styles of buildings mixed together, it is worthy of being the most famous city in the Middle East.
After the plane stopped on the tarmac, as the cabin door opened, the guards, led by Shen Fengdao, took the lead to get down and seize a good defensive position. This is an area jointly managed by An's army and the British army, and it is heavily defended. An Yi is not worried about himself
There would be problems with the safety, but it was understandable for the guards to do so, so they still waited for a while with Ou Chuer before walking out of the cabin hand in hand and descending to the ground through the gangway.
Ye Cheng, Yang Guan, Wu Liheng, Jiao Guangxu, Huang Hanqian, Li Jun and other generals were already waiting around. When they saw An Yi, they all greeted him warmly.
An Yi stepped forward, smiled and hugged his brothers warmly, chatting and laughing. Ou Chuer looked on with a smile, feeling deeply moved by the sincere brotherhood between An Yi and the generals.
At this moment, a group of cars drove up from a distance, with the flags of the United States and the United Kingdom flying on the front. The cars stopped in front of the crowd. The first ones to get out were the guards, who quickly formed a cordon around them.
An Yi's guards gave him a blank stare.
The door of the third car in the motorcade opened, and a wheelchair was carried out first. Roosevelt got into the wheelchair with the help of the guards, and then, pushed by his wife and secretary, he came to An Yi's side.
"Dear Franklin, I'm glad to see you in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations with China!" An Yi greeted Roosevelt with a smile.
Roosevelt looked up at An Yi with a knowing smile on his face: "Dear An, every time I see your young and energetic face, I feel a long-lost youth and vitality! Compared with you, I
I feel that I am too old, maybe this is why the American army was unable to cope with the Japanese attack!"
"Mr. President is joking!"
An Yi joked: "If it is really like what you said, how can we explain the miracle that your army is performing on the North American continent now? Based on the intelligence provided by you, my staff and I conducted careful research and deductions,
It is unanimously believed that within one year at most, your army can completely drive the Japanese army out of the United States and even the North American continent!"
Roosevelt was in a very happy mood and was about to speak when a fat man Shi Shiran with a cigar in his mouth came over, surrounded by a group of soldiers wearing British military uniforms.
"With all due respect, what I hate most is that some rogue countries step on other countries to rise to power!" Churchill's eyes widened and he glared at An Yi:
"As the well-deserved suzerainty of Southeast Asia, South Asia and West Asia, the British Empire is indignant that your country openly occupies our territory and supports those indigenous people to establish their country! I ask you to immediately stop this behavior that hurts the sentiments of the British Empire!"
"In this era, colonialism no longer works!"
An Yi was not angry. He smiled and replied in an irrefutable tone: "I always firmly believe that the cause of my country and the army is a just cause! Our actions are in line with universal values and the fundamental will of the people, and will surely be rewarded.
Broad support from all people in the world who uphold justice and justice!
"Mr. Prime Minister, I want you to pay attention to the fact that not an inch of our territory was obtained directly from the British! Among them, southern Persia and the western part of the subcontinent, we obtained it from the Soviet Union! The coast of the Persian Gulf and the eastern part of the subcontinent, Myanmar
, Malaya and other places were obtained from the Japanese army!
"As for those independent countries, according to the "Charter" signed by the three countries and the "United Nations Declaration" subsequently reached with many allies, I think they have independent rights! If we hadn't taken action, these areas would still be there now.
Serving the Japanese militarists, the food and steel they produce will be used against our Allied soldiers. Can't Mr. Prime Minister see this?
"I would like to remind Mr. Prime Minister again that even the land we are stepping on now was recovered by our army... In a sense, it is we who saved the honor of the empire on which the sun never sets, and we will not lose it because of the war.
If you don't do your best, you will be suspected of collaborating with the enemy!"
"Nonsense!"
Churchill frowned tightly and was about to retort and refute An Yi's shamelessness and hypocrisy. Roosevelt stopped the two sides from continuing to discuss this topic:
"Right now, our main opponent is still fighting us tenaciously. Let's wait until after the war to discuss any problems! It's rare for everyone to meet. How about getting together tonight, drinking and having fun?"
Churchill looked at Roosevelt with some confusion, but saw that the other party was blinking at him. He immediately thought of the war that the Allied forces were fighting against the Germans in North Africa, whether it was the containment of the Germans in Egypt or the planned Afrika Korps attack.
The landing in Benghazi was inseparable from the support of An Jiajun, so he forced himself to calm down and asked: "As the host, I wonder what good wine Chairman An Yi has prepared for us?"
Admiral Yang Guan, commander of the Mediterranean Theater in Cairo, who was in charge of military and political affairs in the Cairo area, quickly stepped forward and whispered in An Yi's ear for a while.
An Yi nodded, smiled and said to Churchill: "Don't worry, Mr. Winston, all the guests are here, I'm not afraid of you opening your mouth... At tonight's banquet, China's Wuliangye, which has won many awards in the world, Luzhou
Laojiao and Moutai will ensure that you drink enough! In addition, we have also prepared a series of royal brandy and red and white wines brewed from high-quality grapes with sufficient sunshine in Central Asia, which will definitely satisfy our guests."
Churchill muttered in a low voice: "I wonder if the stuff brewed by the Chinese can be eaten..."
At this time, the roar of huge aircraft engines sounded in the sky again. Everyone turned their heads and looked at the eastern sky, knowing that it was the special plane of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and his wife Soong Meiling of the Nanjing National Government.
