spn1943 was destined to be an extraordinary year.

After the United States fully entered World War II, the earliest battlefield where sexual changes were reversed was in Southeast Asia.

〖China〗 China, Hanking, Head of State Office Center. Jiang Baili, Chief of General Staff of the base camp, is discussing the current complex situation with Zhang Shusheng.

Jiang Baili, who is sixty years old, is still a general in the Republican Party. His sword is not old at all. He is not as old as the average sixty-year-old man, but he looks energetic. Although his black hair has a few unique spots of gray on the temples,

But it makes the whole person look more heroic.

It is midsummer now, and Zhang Shusheng is enjoying the ice-cold plum soup while listening to the chief of general staff’s report on the situation of World War II.[

Zhang Shusheng knew that since he expressed his position at the military and political elders' reunion dinner, China has been like a taut bow. "In half a year, it has already been stretched like a full moon, and it only needs to find a target."

The arrow "shot" out.

"...Chairman, the current situation in Southeast Asia may lead to a stalemate in the short term, and the possibility of a major reversal in the long term.

First of all, the Americans have completely cut off Japan's maritime energy lifeline from both directions in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Currently, Japan can only obtain oil from oil wells in Indonesia and the Far East, but the production can no longer meet the needs of a two-front war.

Demand" and secretly purchased oil from us many times.

The U.S. military stationed in India has increased to 21 divisions, plus the British 23 divisions and 38 Indian divisions. Americans with deep pockets are preparing to arm up to 100 divisions of Allied forces in India. Among them, the remaining troops

The vacancies will be formed locally in India.

Allied forces are currently massing towards the Thai-Myanmar border area. The Japanese and puppet "governments" in southern Myanmar have also been eliminated. The Southern Federation of Myanmar "government" was established at the beginning of this month and declared war on the Axis organizations as soon as possible.

The main strategy of the Japanese army is to shrink the defense line at the expense of withdrawing from Myanmar, and prepare to concentrate its forces to guard Thailand, southern Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian regions."

Jiang Baili briefly mentioned the war situation in Southeast Asia. "In half a year, the Japanese went from a fierce offensive at the beginning to a strategic retreat in the face of the Americans' vigorous reinforcements to Britain and India."

Zhang Shusheng secretly thought to himself, "What a bunch of cunning devils." He said, "The reason why the Japanese retreated to Thailand and gave up Burma was not because they were afraid of the Americans. They wanted to have a real jungle war with the Americans in Southeast Asia."

[Japanese] cannot completely control Burma "especially in the external waters. Even if they hold Burma, it is extremely easy for the Allies to outflank and land from the rear, encircling a large number of Japanese troops in the narrow territory of Burma."

"Yes," Chairman. Thailand is different. The terrain of the entire Malacca Strait is dangerous and not suitable for large-scale landing operations. The Japanese army used large numbers of small and medium-sized submarines in Thailand and southern Vietnam, and even at land-based airports in Singapore.

"Navy mines" can easily lock the entire narrow strait. Rather than putting troops in Burma to be overturned, it is better to shrink back to Thailand, build a Thai-Burmese defense line, and have a good fight with the Allies."

Jiang Baili knew that the Japanese commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian battlefield, Matsui Iwane, was indeed an outstanding general who was quite talented and aware of current affairs. "The Thai-Burmese battlefield will be a cruel war." The Americans' powerful armored divisions and air force,

The fleet cannot play a relatively large role. On the other hand, the Japanese have only been operating in Southeast Asia for a few years, but they have made quite a lot of achievements."

After occupying most of Southeast Asia, Japan "especially strengthened airport construction and air defense construction, focusing on the development of anti-ship capabilities."

Relying on Thailand and Indonesia, they completely blocked the Strait of Malacca.

"If the Americans want to forcefully break through the Malacca defense line, they will suffer losses that are too huge to bear." They will definitely choose to defeat the Japanese on the land battlefield, and the Japanese will also give the Americans a surprise."

Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but think that in his previous life, Japan himself had been victorious in Southeast Asia step by step, but in the current situation, how could he be able to calm down and make the management of Southeast Asia impregnable. It was foreseeable that this war in Southeast Asia would be very tragic. Originally, the war in Southeast Asia would be very tragic.

In history, the Japanese and the US military were able to play hide and seek on the islands. Today's Japanese army is hiding in the mountains of Southeast Asia, but it is much better than the original dead end in history.

"So, the Allies hope that we can attack the Japanese army from the north and quickly resolve the war in Southeast Asia. However, the price they gave is still very high, and they will recognize our dominance in Southeast Asia." After the war, the Southeast Asian region was divided into "Chinese" forces.

"They are really willing to give up." Jiang Baili lamented that the importance of the Malacca Strait is self-evident. It can be said that the Malacca Strait in the future will be one of the two maritime lifelines for Asian countries.

"Tell me what you think about the Far Eastern battlefield." Zhang Shu changed his life and turned the topic to the Far Eastern battlefield, which is currently attracting attention from all countries.

Because the Americans may launch an unprecedentedly large landing war in the Far East.

"It only took the Americans six months to basically restore the Pacific Fleet to its full strength." Coupled with the squadron specially transferred from the Atlantic Fleet, the strength of the U.S. Pacific Fleet has surpassed that of Japan. Even the Americans

The British fleet may be used to form a large combined fleet to ensure their possible landing in the Far East.[

The Americans are also aggressively expanding their military. Even Australia and Canada have been persuaded by the Americans to start expanding their military. The scale of the war will further expand."

Jiang Baili's expression also became extremely serious, "Chairman, although it is not yet certain" which battlefield the Americans will ultimately choose as a thunderous means to change the direction of the war. But various signs show that in order to open up new battlefields, the US military quickly took the initiative in the war.

, a large-scale landing is already inevitable.”

"Yes, once the Americans have a huge fleet across the ocean, their first thought must be to use their powerful sea landing capabilities to open up new battlefields and launch landing battles from directions that are difficult for the enemy to defend against."

Zhang Shusheng naturally thought of the series of landing battles launched by the Americans in history, especially the Normandy landing battle in Europe, which was unprecedented in scale. This time, the European direction is like an iron barrel, so "the remaining options for the Americans are,

The Soviet-German battlefield, or the Far East battlefield, is the most likely. "In which direction do you think the Americans will give priority to launching a landing war?"

Jiang Baili thought for a moment and said, "I have thought about this issue for a long time. If I were the decision-maker of the U.S. military, then I would definitely launch a landing battle in the Far East battlefield first."

"Huh? Tell me what you think." Zhang Shusheng thought to himself, which was exactly in line with what he thought.

"First of all, the European battlefield is currently hard to break. It is already very difficult for the Americans to assist the British in holding the island. At present, except for sporadic guerrilla teams, no country in Europe dares to confront the Germans." Even the vast majority

Most of them have joined the Axis powers. The possibility of opening a second battlefield is very small.

In the battlefield of Southeast Asia, if the Japanese are stubborn and want to fight to the death in Myanmar, then there are many places suitable for landing in the southern coastal areas of Myanmar. However, after the Japanese shrink the defense line, they are "impregnable"

pan-

In the Malacca area, there is absolutely no hope of opening up a second battlefield. The only option is to attack on land. As for the African battlefield, it is vast and sparsely populated, and the strategic urgency is not high enough. The Americans do not have the energy to fight with the Axis powers in Africa.

hide and seek.

Therefore, the Far East near the mainland of the United States will be the best place to open a second battlefield.

Jiang Baili paused slightly and continued, "Moreover, the Americans' Southeast Asian offensive to encircle the Japanese from the south. If they launch an attack against the Japanese from the north of the Far East, then the entire Asia is already in the middle of nowhere for the Americans."

Take the initiative. Once the Americans

The plan finally succeeds, and we are likely to be forced to declare our power to the Axis Powers. In a large sense, it is a two-front battle between Japan and Japan. It is difficult to fight against the Americans independently, so that the Americans can easily take the initiative. On the contrary, the Americans want

implement a strategic plan to encircle Asia."

"Hahaha, Fang Zhen, you are thinking the same thing as me. As long as the Americans can take the great initiative in the north and south ends of Asia, and then help the Soviets gain the advantage on the Soviet-German battlefield, then we may be forced to choose to join

Allies."

Zhang Shusheng walked to the map, pointed at the large map of China, and said, "To the west, there are the United States, Britain, and India allied forces, to the east is the Pacific Ocean, and there is the U.S. Pacific Fleet." To the north is the Soviet Union and their millions of Red Army troops. If we can

By using the Soviet Far East and even North Korea as a springboard, even if we declare war on the Allies, they can block us at home and use all directions to "deal with us."

"Yes, that's right." Jiang Baili nodded. China's huge territory is actually under invisible siege. "However, the Allies still want to win over us, and one negotiation team after another comes to China, promising to

The temptation is for us to join the Allies and declare war on the Axis Powers.

The Axis powers are not lagging behind either. Hitler even wanted to carve up the Soviet Union with us and was willing to give up the huge Soviet land to us to form a pro-China regime or to be under trusteeship.

The Axis powers not only want us to launch an attack on the Soviet Union, but also want us to launch an attack on southern Burma, or contain the Southeast Asian battlefield."

"Fang Zhen, I heard that people who like gambling are addicted to its crazy charm of risking everything. There will always be a winner or loser in a war. We are the ones who join the war later, so we have more money.

Time to choose." Zhang Shusheng stared at Jiang Baili and asked, "So, Fang Zhen, which side do you think is the most suitable for us to join?"

Jiang Baili frowned slightly. Even if the chairman of the committee asked him this question personally for the first time, not only him, but even quite a few republicans had this question: Which party should we join? From daily life

Judging from the military meetings of the Generalissimo, or the usual conversations with the Chairman, it is unlikely that the Chairman will cooperate with the Allies, but if we talk about cooperation with the Axis Powers, the Japanese himself and the crazy Hitler do not seem to be the Chairman.

Favorite war ally.

However, as a chief of general staff, it is not enough to just think about the national strategy at this level. In particular, this chief of general staff has a very comprehensive understanding of the military and economy of the Republic.

Taking a long breath, Jiang Baili replied firmly, "The chairman's intention should be to use the power of one country to 'destroy' all the monsters in the world."

"Haha n" Zhang Shusheng smiled slightly, raised his head and looked at himself, the Chief of General Staff, and said noncommittally, "Why do you say that?"

"Because we have this strength. In terms of economy, we have already surpassed the Americans. In terms of military, even if the American war machine is fully activated, it will not be our opponent. Moreover, this huge advantage will expand in the next few years.

To the point where all the countries participating in the war have resisted the law.

Of course, this does not mean that we can defeat ten thousand countries with the power of one country."[

Jiang Baili said, "The chairman's intention is to defeat them one by one."

"The one who knows me is Fang Zhenye." Zhang Shusheng took a sip of sour plum soup. This was indeed his most fundamental thought and said with emotion, "China's national power is getting stronger and stronger now." Its military power is also showing a comprehensive blowout. Of course,

We are not yet the world's rivals, but we already have the ability to defeat them all.

In fact, this idea is somewhat similar to Hitler's, except that we are more powerful and confident than him. Our economic development is more directional, we have a stronger army, and stronger technological power.

It’s still early to say where [China] will eventually go, but as China goes to the battlefield, it will definitely take every step to get what we ultimately want.”

Jiang Baili nodded: "Yes, Chairman, whether it is the Allies or the Axis Powers, there is essentially no big difference if we join either side. Helping them win the war will not do us any good.

In a world war, even if only we become the biggest winner in the end, in fact, it may only take ten years for [China] to successfully crowd out the world and become the target of joint attacks."

"War is inevitable." Zhang Shusheng looked at Jiang Baili seriously, "Fang Zhen, we should be mentally prepared. Once the bottom line of the Republic is trampled, the war will begin immediately."

"Yes, Chairman." Jiang Baili said excitedly.

Three months later, in September 1943, after months of preparations, the Allies brazenly launched the Far East War. After the powerful Allied Combined Fleet won the confrontation with the Japanese Combined Fleet, they launched an attack on Oho in the Far East.

During the Second World War, hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, supported by the Allied Powers' powerful maritime transportation capabilities, began to land on the territory of the Soviet Far East.

According to the latest agreement between the Allies, the Allies will help the Soviet Union quickly resolve the Far East battlefield.

After receiving support from the Allies, Zhukov began to launch a large-scale counterattack.

In November 1943, under the strong counterattack of the Allied Forces, the Japanese army withdrew from the front line of Komsomolsk, where the stalemate had lasted for more than a year. The Soviet West Route Army achieved a major victory, and at one point it made a detour back to the rear of the Japanese army and surrounded it.

possibility of the Japanese army.

On the evening of December 3, 1943, an unexpected incident suddenly shocked the world.

Due to the cold weather in winter, when the entire Far East battlefield was at a semi-standstill, with the help of the Allies, Stalin, who had become more confident after seeing the results of many negotiations, brazenly ordered the Soviet Red Army's Far East-West Front Army to enter Heilongjiang

"within the territory" tried to take advantage of the indolence of the "Japanese" people, pass through the territory of the "Chinese" country, and create conditions for the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army with this large roundabout attack.
