The surrender of the French made the British unable to sit still, and it also made the Americans unable to sit still!
Germany's fierce offensive shocked the whole world. They could not imagine that France, which was once arrogant, had no ability to resist in the face of the German attack. "" Advertisement txt download
Once France surrenders, Germany's next target will naturally be Britain.
On the day after France surrendered, U.S. President Cornwell S. Pitt made a request to Congress to send troops to aid the European war.
In the United States, under the influence of Mr. President, the call for sending troops is getting louder and louder. After all, with the assistance of the United States, Europe won the First World War, and this made the United States benefit a lot!
Now, new opportunities have appeared in front of the Americans. Sending troops to Europe will give the United States, which has just recovered from the economic crisis, another greater opportunity.
Such calls are heard everywhere in the United States. Obviously, while affecting Americans, President Pete himself was in turn affected by Americans.
Then, something happened that quickly became a catalyst.
On June 29, 1940, the American cargo ship "Lincoln".
This U.S.-flagged merchant ship was not too worried about its own safety. In the opinion of it and its captain, it was completely safe for U.S.-flagged ships to sail on the sea.
However, a huge threat is quietly approaching the "Lincoln"...
Captain Maxson was holding his beloved pipe in his mouth, standing on the deck of the "Lincoln", looking at the blue sea from a distance, feeling particularly comfortable.
After this transportation mission was over, it was time for me to retire honorably. The money I earned at sea for most of my life was enough to support me in my old age.
It’s time to spend time with your wife and children. God, I have seven children, and I have really failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband and father over the years.
First Officer Blom was an American of German descent. He was extremely opposed to this war from the bottom of his heart. The war brought only harm to people.
However, I am just a sailor and can do nothing about all this.
Captain Maxson is about to retire. He is a good man and treats himself like a father treats his son. Even before, he sold the "Lincoln" to himself at a very low price. This ship can at least run.
That’s a boat that’s ten years old!
"I'll be home in two days, and I can retire honorably by then."Hunter Novel Network"No/pop-up ads/advertisement full text txt download," Maxon said enthusiastically.
While chatting there, there was a sudden "boom" and the "Lincoln" shook violently. Then there was another "boom" and the "Lincoln" was instantly torn into two pieces.
On June 29, 1940, the American merchant ship "Lincoln" was attacked and sank. Only six people on board survived... Captain Maxson, who was about to retire, would never be able to fulfill his retirement dream, and First Officer Blot
Mu Ze escaped by chance...
The attack on the "Lincoln" shocked the United States and the world. Almost everyone pointed the finger at Germany, but Germany flatly denied it and refused to admit that they attacked the "Lincoln".
However, Blohm, who was rescued by a British ship and successfully escaped the danger of his life, and the survivors on the "Lincoln" all unanimously testified that the Germans carefully planned this attack.
The United States was outraged, thoroughly outraged!
Attack! Despicable and shameless attack! Nothing can anger Americans more than this! The call for joining the war in the United States has become louder and louder. After the attack on the USS Lincoln, the call for joining the war has resounded throughout the country.
.
On June 30, U.S. President Cornwell S. Pitt delivered a famous speech. The general meaning of the speech was that the United States was attacked, American dignity was challenged, and American property at sea was nakedly destroyed.
Destruction, the United States can no longer be so silent, and so on.
Obviously, this speech inspired the determination of most people in the United States to join the war.
The call to "send troops to Europe and defeat the Germans" has become unstoppable.
Participating in the war has now become an inevitable choice for the United States!
On July 1, 1940, the U.S. Congress unanimously passed the war bill, which meant that the United States officially entered the war on this day! On the same day, the United States declared war on Germany!
America is boiling, and the American people are boiling!
Britain is boiling, France is boiling after its defeat, and the whole world is boiling!
The Germans predicted that a powerful enemy had appeared! In World War I, it was the participation of the United States that led to the final end of the war.
And now, this behemoth appears again...
At the same time that the United States announced its participation in the war, China also began to take action. Of course, the affairs of the United States, Britain, Germany, and France had nothing to do with them. On July 2, the Chinese National Defense Force resumed its long-interrupted campaign against the Bolshevik regime entrenched in Moscow.
attack!
Russia has actually been in chaos for many years before.
When the Chinese Communist Party was about to completely annihilate the Bolshevik regime, it stopped the attack under various excuses. It only built a large number of permanent military bases across Russia and signed a large number of agreements with those in power in Belarus.
The Chinese exchange weapons and equipment funds for the rights to exploit resources within the control of those in power.
There are many warlords in Russia, large and small, but no one has the ability to unify the entire Russia. They sometimes unite and sometimes attack each other, which is very similar to China during the warlord war period.
The only difference is that they lack a figure like Wang Hengyue to complete the unification of Russia.
The melee among the Russian warlords also gave the Moscow regime a chance to breathe. They were about to collapse, but miraculously managed to survive.
While Moscow was recovering, it also organized several major battles in an attempt to completely defeat the White Guards. However, every time this time came, the White Guards who fought against each other would reunite to defeat the Bolshevik counterattack.
For nearly two decades, Russia has been in the midst of this terrible civil strife. Thousands of Russians have lost their homes and thousands of Russians have been displaced.
The war brought great suffering to Russia...and all of this has nothing to do with China. What China has to do is to stabilize Russia's occupied areas as much as possible and keep Russia as far as possible
The supplies were brought back to China.
Of course, the Chinese also recruited a large number of Russians and organized a "Russian Legion", which was commanded by the Chinese and numbered more than 200,000.
After the United States declared war, the Chinese suddenly resumed their offensive in Russia without warning, and this war was first initiated by the "Russian Legion".
Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek, the plenipotentiary representative of the Chinese government, convened the famous "July Conference" of the powerful Russian factions. At the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek, on behalf of the Chinese government, urged these powerful Russian factions to temporarily stop the war among themselves and devote all their energy to
Put it on top of the siege of Moscow.
This proposal was agreed by almost all the powerful factions. After all, compared with their conflicts, the Bolsheviks were their biggest enemies. If it had been possible before, Moscow would have fallen long ago.
Now, the Chinese government, which has remained silent until now, has finally agreed to send troops to Moscow, which is undoubtedly great news.
The successful convening of the "July Conference" heralded the imminent end of Moscow...
On July 10, the "Battle of Zhiliovo" broke out. In this battle, the Bolsheviks invested more than 400,000 troops, while the Russian White Guard Alliance invested 600,000 troops.
Millions of people fought on the Zhilyowo battlefield.
Another battlefield of the World War has opened up. But to be more precise, this is the Russian Civil War.
What makes people feel helpless is that despite their superiority in numbers and the weapons and equipment provided by China, due to their own ulterior motives, they are unable to coordinate operations in a unified manner, and instead fail one after another on the battlefield.
On July 15, the Soviet Red Army concentrated its main force and launched a fierce attack on the White Guard Alliance. Under the fierce offensive of the Red Army, the White Guard suffered the most disastrous defeat since the alliance was formed!
More than 100,000 people were killed and missing in action, and 200,000 were taken prisoners. Moscow leader Stalin claimed that this was the greatest victory of the Bolshevik government.
Zhivoliao's failure made the already unstable organization of the White Guard Alliance even more chaotic.
Wang Hengyue, who was far away in Nanjing, was also a little helpless. Although he did not expect these people to break Moscow, in his imagination, they could at least kill a large number of Red Army troops in the Zhiliovo area.
However, the White Guards' low combat effectiveness and the conflicts between them surprised him.
The Red Army, which won the "Battle of Zhiliovo", took advantage of the situation to launch an offensive and regained some land one after another. At this time, although China was reluctant, it still had to send troops.
The Chinese government rejected the German request to send troops together to encircle and suppress Russia, and used the strength of two legions to quickly block the fiercely advancing Red Army. It also used a huge air fleet to carry out the most violent bombing.
The air strike was indeed effective. The Red Army, which lacked air cover, suffered heavy losses under the heavy bombing from the aircraft and had to retreat to the Zhiliovo area to hold on.
And this also gives China the opportunity to adjust calmly.
On July 20, President Wang Hengyue of the Republic of China issued a combat order, requiring the troops to launch an offensive across the board and end all fighting in Russia before winter arrives.
In the history of later generations, this also shows that China informally joined the world war!
