Beiyang reactionaries

Support the new government of Nazi Germany.

They immediately fell into the arms of the Germans and joined the "Triple Alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan".Now Germany leads a bunch of slave countries on the European continent.The same is true of Japan in Asia.After Japan swept across Southeast Asia, it did not say that it completely occupied those countries and turned them all into Japan.

This is not the case.

Japan began to foster a new government in Southeast Asia, that is, to support the Japanese government.Then sign a series of treaties with these governments to swallow up the land they have long been interested in, or their resources.

Including Siam (Thailand), the only independent country in Southeast Asia, recently reached an agreement with Japan to allow Japanese troops to station in Siam.Together with those governments supported by Japan, they joined the "Germany, Italy and Japan Triple Alliance".

In other words, the fascist camp in the world is currently expanding very fast, and more than a dozen countries have joined this fascist alliance.Japan's ambitions for Southeast Asia continue to expand, and now they are looking at Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, French Indochina.

If this place is captured, it will be of great benefit to the Japanese military operations in Burma.At present, Britain has formed a large number of troops in India to defend against Japanese attacks in Burma.To defeat Britain, Japan needed French Indochina.

It's just that Vichy France is now a slave country of Germany, and it's not easy for Japan to do it directly.If the current French government is a hostile country to Germany, then Japan would have fought here long ago.Now Japan wants to take over this place peacefully.

Japan and Germany have conducted several rounds of negotiations.

"Already agreed."

"Japan's strength is getting bigger and bigger."

Duan Xun looked at the map and nodded.

As Japan gained one victory after another in Southeast Asia, Japan's strength expanded rapidly.Not to mention anything else, Japan can search a large number of various resources from Southeast Asia.This includes important materials such as oil and rubber.This alone saves Japan a lot of money every year.Before occupying Southeast Asia, Japan bought these things from China.

Now that we have Southeast Asia, the number of purchases from China has dropped sharply.That alone leaves thirty to forty million dollars a year.Moreover, Japan has collected a lot of money in Southeast Asia, and there are many kinds of gold, silver and jewelry.

In order to attack Burma, Japan has begun a large-scale expansion of its army.Army units require a lot of tanks, many of which are purchased from China.Where Japan has money, it has seized a large amount of gold and jewelry from Southeast Asia, including many priceless cultural relics.

"How are the contacts between Japan and the Indian National Congress?"

"There's been a lot of progress."

Jiang Hongyu replied: "The former chairman of the Indian National Congress, Chandra Bose, who resigned more than half a year ago, has come to Singapore and had several contacts with the Japanese side. According to our information, the two sides negotiated Very good. Chandra Bose publicly formed a free Indian interim government in Singapore, called on the radicals of the Congress Party to participate, and called on Indian youth to participate. Many Congress Party who once supported Chandra Bose in the Congress Party Leaders have gone south to Singapore to join Chandra Bose."

"And Japan is currently handing over the Indian soldiers captured in the previous battle with the British army to Chandra Bose. With these Indian soldiers as the core, Chandra Bose formed the Indian National Army in Singapore. At present The number of the Indian National Army is about 2, and the weapons and equipment are all supported by Japan. Japan has informed us that it hopes that the Asian Joint Organization will publicly recognize the Interim Government of Free India and invite the Interim Government of Free India to join the Asian Joint Organization. Give Chand The treatment of a head of state in La Boss."

"Chandra Bows?"

"Yes."

Jiang Hongyu saw that other people were a little confused, and immediately explained: "In the Indian National Congress, there are three people who have the most influence. One is Gandhi, the other is Nehru, and the other is Chandra Bose. Dela Bose is very young, 42 years old this year. He has been promoting revolution in India since he was in his 20s. He is a well-known revolutionary in India. Chandra Bose’s propositions in recent years have been very radical. He demanded that India Complete full self-government and complete independence as soon as possible. If the UK rejects India’s full independence, it will launch a comprehensive non-cooperation movement and directly confront the UK. Even at the end of last year, he proposed to the UK six The ultimatum in March demanded that Britain agree to the independence demands put forward by the Indian Congress Party. His propositions were agreed by many members of the Indian National Congress Party, so the Indian National Congress Party passed his resolution. At that time, the Indian National Congress Party was really An ultimatum to Britain."

"In addition to the issue of Indian independence, he is very radical, and his views on economic construction are also very radical. When he was elected as the chairman of the Congress Party, he proposed the reconstruction of India, land reform, land nationalization, and the implementation of national industrialization. Congress Party A new economic program. Chandra Bose is the leader of the radical faction in the Indian National Congress Party. He has extensive support in the Indian National Congress Party and has high prestige among the Indian National Liberation Movement. In ordinary Indian National Congress Among party members, Chandra Bose has more support than Gandhi."

"However, at present, the leadership of the Indian National Congress Party is a faction that supports Gandhi, and many of them are from the upper echelons of India. Therefore, they disagree with Chandra Bose's economic and independent claims. At the beginning of this year, Chandra Bose once again The high vote was elected as the chairman of the Congress Party. As a result, Gandhi personally came out to criticize Chandra Bose’s ideas and refused to cooperate with Chandra Bose. After Gandhi came forward, the Congress Party Working Committee resigned collectively to protest money Dela Bose was elected Congress President and refused to work with Chandra Bose. So half a year ago Chandra Bose resigned as Congress President.”

Jiang Hongyu immediately introduced Chandra Bose.

A well-known Indian revolutionary and leader of the national liberation movement.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

It is for this reason that Japan and Chandra Bose were able to cooperate.Japan now wants to completely end Britain's influence in Asia, and the biggest goal is India.As long as India exists, Britain will be able to continuously form an army and continuously raise logistical supplies.It can not only support the mainland, but also support military operations in Asia.India was the jewel among the British colonies.So what Japan has to do is to cooperate with the local revolutionary party in India.

India is a big country after all.

If forces against Britain can emerge from within, the blow to Britain will be very severe.

Similarly, Chandra Bose and others are difficult to be independent with their own strength.

So they started looking for foreign aid.

Now Japan is sweeping across Southeast Asia, and fighting the British army several times in Burma, and the British army is retreating steadily.In terms of strength, Japan is not afraid of Britain at all in Asia.This is a good foreign aid.Therefore, the two sides can almost hit it off.

"Can Britain defend against Japan?"

Duan Xun looked at the map worried.

Duan Xun hopes that Germany and Japan will come out to disrupt the world, especially to attack the world colonial system and end the world order controlled by Britain and France.But Duan Xun would never agree that Germany and Japan really won.Diplomacy, diplomacy, everyone should have some rules.

Even if it is a rubbish rule, everyone should abide by it on the surface.

But Germany and Japan can't.

These two countries are simply beyond the control of their governments.These are two countries of lunatics who cannot think with common sense at all.And once they become stronger, their ambitions will grow bigger and bigger, which will affect China's interests at that time.Duan Xun likes to see the weak Britain, the Soviet Union, and France, but he does not want to see the strong Germany and Japan.

But once Japan really invades India and drives Britain out of India, then Britain will really fall.

What to do in Europe?

Will Britain really surrender?

With India as an ally, how far will Japan's strength increase?

Duan Xun had to take all these things into consideration.

"There are some problems. Chairman, after Chandra Bose cooperated with Japan, he can call a large number of Indian revolutionaries to join their troops, and call a large number of Indian young people to join the Indian National Army. Most of the British and Indian troops are now Indian soldiers, easily incited to join the Indian National Army controlled by Chandra Bose. But I guess it depends on how the British respond."

"Ah."

Duan Xun nodded and said: "The British are very experienced in this area. It is estimated that in order to deal with Chandra Bose, the UK will strengthen its cooperation with the Congress Party. As long as the Congress Party is stabilized, there will be no problems in India. There are too many problems. It is in our best interest for Japan and the UK to tug of war in the Burmese region."

warmonger.

This is the case in China now.

Japan bought arms from China with gold and jewelry looted from Southeast Asia, and Britain looted gold and jewelry from India to buy arms from China.Therefore, for China, it is very supportive of the tug-of-war between Japan and the United Kingdom in Myanmar.

During the discussion, Chen Bulei walked in quietly and sent a telegram to Yang Yongtai, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council who was sitting below.After Yang Yongtai read it, he immediately said: "Chairman, Tokyo Telegraph. Yoshiichi Tanaka was assassinated."

"Chairman, Tokyo Telegraph, Yoshiichi Tanaka was assassinated."

"Assassination?"

Duan Xun was taken aback.

What is this.

Not only Duan Xun was stunned, but also the members of the Supreme Committee present, and some other political leaders who attended the meeting were all stunned.Yang Yongtai immediately handed the telegram to Duan Xun.Duan Xun took it, and the telegram was sent by the Chinese embassy in Japan.The content of the telegram is very short, only more than 30 characters, but the content recorded is surprising.After reading it, Duan Xun handed the telegram to Dai Kan below, and then said to the people present: "One and a half hours ago, Tanaka Yoshiichi and Takahashi Shiqing attended the imperial meeting and were attacked by unknown persons on the way home. .”

"Chairman, is Yoshiichi Tanaka dead or alive?"

Dai Kan asked immediately.

The assassination of political figures in Japan is not a big deal.It is not uncommon for Japanese politicians to be assassinated in recent years.Even Tokyo once had a mutiny, and assassination is nothing.

But the assassination of the Japanese Prime Minister is no small matter.
