Historically, Italy, as Germany's main ally in Europe, should have been suppressed.However, after the end of World War II, it was not suppressed like Germany, and it even looked like a victorious country.This shows the ability of the Italian chameleon.

"Everyone, a world war is really about to break out. I estimate that within a few days, Japan will declare war on Britain and France, and then attack Malaya. At that time, the war between the two military blocs will completely break out. "

"Chairman, can Britain stand it?"

Wang Jingwei, vice chairman of the Supreme Council, spoke.

No one expected the current situation.Everyone originally thought that there would be a fierce battle between Britain, France and Germany, just like the First World War, there would be a battle of meat.But who would have thought that the British and French armies were so vulnerable that a world industrial power like France would be defeated in this way.

Really unexpected.

After all, that is France, one of the top industrial powers in the world, and the hegemony of the European continent.It is a powerful country that built the world order together with Britain.But it was defeated so easily, and the millions of troops were defeated without much fighting.

Now Germany is really sweeping across the European continent, destroying many countries one after another.Since Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, Germany first annexed Austria, then Czechoslovakia, then captured Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Holland, and now France.Moreover, Germany also has its own slave countries, such as Hungary and Romania, although they did not participate in World War II, they are currently listening to Germany.

It can be said that Germany is already the dominant player in continental Europe.

In addition to the ally of Italy, the hegemony of the Mediterranean Sea, there is no German opponent in the European continent.When the British and French allied forces retreated from Dunkirk, it can be said that they were in a panic and suffered heavy losses.

The losses are far greater than in history.

Originally, in Dunkirk in history, the British and French allied forces even helped God.When retreating, it was either raining or fogging, which made the air force unable to fight most of the time.It's a pity that when they retreated this time, two-thirds of the days were sunny.

The result was frequent departures of German aircraft.

Of course Germany is not easy either.In order to keep the Anglo-French forces, and of course the Belgian forces, the German ground forces, needless to say, dispatched amazing aircraft.When the German army dispatched the most, it dispatched 15 bomber brigades at one time, plus 5 fighter brigades, nearly 500 aircraft.Moreover, the German planes are attacking continuously, the first wave of attacks is over, and the second wave of attacks is coming.The most dispatched in a day reached [-] sorties.

Of course, Britain is also tit for tat, a large number of fighter jets cover the retreat.More than half of Britain's home fighters were engaged in combat.But overall, the number of British aircraft is far inferior to that of Germany, so the UK is at an absolute disadvantage in this air battle.

Played for a full eleven days.

After the outbreak of World War II, in the most intense war, Germany lost more than 300 bombers and fighter jets alone, and the loss was still very large.Similarly, the results of the German Air Force are also very brilliant.Using bombers to cooperate with ground forces, Germany sank more than 460 British and French ships within eleven days, even sank 13 British destroyers, and seriously injured 9 destroyers.Half of the ships involved in the retreat were sunk by the Germans.

The other losses of the Anglo-French allied forces were even more serious.

最终撤回英国本土的只有21万军队，剩下的不是伤亡，就是被俘，比历史上惨多了。丢弃的各种战争物资就不用说了。光是在敦刻尔克，英法联军共丢弃了1200门大炮、750门高射炮、500门反坦克炮、6.3万辆汽车、7.5万辆摩托车、700辆坦克、2.1万挺机枪、6400支反坦克枪以及50万吨军需物资。

Moreover, more than 300 British aircraft were shot down, which hurt the British Air Force.Because the British Air Force didn't have many planes, when Dunkirk retreated, it lost so many planes that the British Air Force was about to cry.Now all the aircraft of the British Air Force add up to only 1100.

What enemies does Germany have now?

Except for Britain, which was seriously injured, the entire European continent was swept away by Germany.As long as Britain is resolved, Germany will be truly invincible in Europe.Such a situation is really unimaginable.That's why Wang Jingwei asked such a question.

This is completely different from the original judgment of many high-level officials in China.

At the beginning, China's top leaders agreed that Germany and Italy could not be opponents of Britain and France.Especially in a long war, Britain and France must have the upper hand.Because Britain and France have a large number of colonies, they surpass Germany and Italy in terms of war potential.But the current situation is that the British and French allied forces were beaten by Germany and completely disabled.

If Britain and France are completely defeated, then China's diplomacy will also need to be adjusted.

"With the English Channel, as long as the UK clenches its teeth and persists, the UK will not fall. The UK is now the most dangerous, but as long as the UK sticks to it for a few months and survives the most difficult time, then the UK will have no problems. The UK Their industrial strength, and they have so many colonies, they can quickly form a huge army by using industrial machines. I heard that the newly appointed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is a hardliner, so I judge that Britain will not be defeated. "

Duan Xun replied.

The English Channel, this is the UK's biggest protection.

Without the English Channel, Britain would not be able to stand up to the current invincible German army, and the German army would have pushed Britain across the board long ago.It's a pity that with the English Channel, it gave Britain a chance to breathe.Britain is the world's hegemon. Although it has declined, its strength is still the top in the world.As long as Britain is given a chance to breathe, Britain will be able to recover.Britain has truly entered a wartime state, and its industrial potential is absolutely amazing.

"How are the negotiations with England going?"

"It's coming to an end."

"Then don't procrastinate, let the UK sign quickly, and don't give them any breathing room. If the UK signs, it is easy to say anything, and if it doesn't sign, let our troops continue to move forward and put pressure on the UK. Now the UK is at its weakest. , It is also the time when we can get the most benefits. Now Britain can never bear the risk of losing India."

"Yes."

World War II, this is the opportunity Duan Xun has been waiting for.

Only when the Second World War breaks out will Europe truly decline, and Britain and France will truly decline.With the decline of Britain and France, China can solve the problems left by Britain and France without bloodshed.

Now the United Kingdom is the most critical. It is impossible for them to risk losing India and start a war with China.Sign the treaty quickly, abolish the McMahon Line, abolish the Wilson Line, and take back the southern Tibet, Aksai Chin, and Dalak areas.

"Chairman, how do we express our position on the resolution of the League of Nations?"

Churchill was decisive in doing things.

Under the current difficult situation of the United Kingdom, the League of Nations, which has no deterrence, has made two decisions.One is to expel the Soviet Union from the League of Nations because the Soviet Union attacked Finland.The other is a new resolution on the border between China and the Soviet Union, awarding all the disputed areas between China and the Soviet Union to China.Those contracts signed by China and Russia before are considered to be illegal and should be abolished.

In today's world, one hair affects the whole body.

However, the British mainland is already so difficult, and the UK cannot lose India.Therefore, a war between China and the Soviet Union will involve a large number of Soviet troops, which may benefit Germany.But Churchill still chose to take risks and first remove the threat of China in the Far East.

"Since it is an olive branch extended by the United Kingdom, of course we will accept it. First thank the League of Nations for its resolution, and then send someone to formally negotiate with the Soviet Union."

"Yes."

"But this is useless. If we really want to take the outer northeast and outer northwest, we still need our own army. My idea is to wait for a while, when Germany completely captures France, Japan declares war on Britain, and the whole world will continue to fight." After a period of confusion, we officially announced the abolition of all unequal treaties signed by our country since the Opium War. The most important of these is the contract signed with Russia.”

"Sit all."

After convening a meeting of the Supreme Council to decide some important strategic issues, Duan Xun held a meeting of the Military Council.Because Duan Xun knew that the external changes were only external.

If China wants to truly rise and make its own voice heard in the world, war is necessary, and it cannot be separated from a hard-on-hard war.Only by winning head-to-head can you truly gain a foothold in the world, and those great powers will really value your voice.Without a head-to-head war, it is impossible to really convince the great powers.

So army building is the most important.

"Just now the Supreme Council has decided, and it will be announced after a while that all the unequal treaties signed by our country since the Opium War will be abolished. The biggest problem at that time will be the problem of the north. Once the Soviet Union disagrees, it will be inevitable between us at that time. There is going to be a war. We have been preparing for this war for many years, and now it is the last moment, we must not relax in the slightest."

"Commander Deng (Deng Yanda)."

"Chairman."

Deng Yanda stood at attention.

After Li Jishen was transferred to the Supreme Committee as the vice chairman, Deng Yanda, the former commander of the Northeast Construction Corps, took over the position left by Li Jishen as the commander-in-chief of the Construction Corps.

And for the sake of the war, several bigwigs from the Construction Corps also joined the newly established military committee.Li Jishen, as the vice-chairman of the Supreme Council, entered the Military Council and Chen Yi became the vice-chairman of the Military Council.

Deng Yanda also served as a member of the Military Commission as the commander-in-chief of the Construction Corps.Li Jishen and Deng Yanda entered the military committee, both for the purpose of coordinating the field troops and the Construction Corps.

Because the construction corps began to assemble on a large scale and was incorporated into field troops.Although the middle and senior officers of the Construction Corps are all from the army, the current Construction Corps is completely self-contained.Wanting to reorganize and incorporate into field troops is not something that can be done with just a few words.It is necessary to cooperate closely between the Construction Corps and the army.

It is precisely for the convenience of command that both Li Jishen and Deng Yanda have joined the newly established military committee.

Of course, besides Duan Xun, there is another thought.

That is, once something happens to him during this period, Duan Xun is ready to let Li Jishen take over his position.This is the decision Duan Xun made after thinking a lot.Among the vice-chairmen of the Military Commission, Wang Jingwei has a strong coordination ability, but he is from the Kuomintang after all, and his foundation in the People's Party is limited.Not to mention the lack of support within the People's Party, it is also difficult to get support in the government affairs system and the military system.

Dai Kan has always been the second in command of Duan Xun's camp, but he has been in the cabinet all these years and has been in the government affairs system.Including Yang Wei, although he has always been in charge of the National Assembly and has been in charge of the party affairs of the People's Party for many years, he is still limited here after all.In the current war era, when the army is strong and the military industrial units have great power, it is difficult for the two of them to suppress the military.
