Chapter 796 still requires Americans to fight on two fronts

The German peacemakers left the Japanese speechless.

But the vanguard, having received the promise of benefits from the Germans, had slowed down the pace of the offensive, and steadily prevented the Japanese from taking advantage of it. And the Chinese forces also took up arms to protect themselves, so that they could not gnaw on this piece of fat for a while.

In the end, the Japanese agreed to the Germans to mediate the armistice.

They weren't ready, whether it was a jungle war against the Chinese army heading south, or a large army gathering against the Chinese groups that had even moved their machine guns out.

"Shrink India's attack, protect Southeast Asia, and attack the Australian continent with all your might!" The Japanese base camp quickly made strategic adjustments.

Similar to China, India is too big and has too many people, and it is also not something that the Japanese will be able to swallow for a while.

Even though the Asan were mild-mannered and obedient to the invading Japanese, they were just as good as the British. A group of Indian soldiers led by the British was enough to give the Japanese army a headache.

Japan's more than 300,000 troops in India struggled to control half of India.

Having seized some of the iron ore mines in eastern India, the Japanese had already achieved some of their strategic objectives.

The oil of Sumatra and Kalimantan is enough for them, and they have no intention of joining the Germans in the Middle East, and they have already eaten up half of India, and they need to stop and digest, and the Indochina Peninsula in the rear is still unstable.

Moreover, the Japanese also knew that the Americans' re-orientation towards Europe was only temporary, and they hoped to conquer the Australian continent as soon as possible. Only by resolving the war in Australia as soon as possible can we better reflexively deal with the United States or China.

Of course, their truce was demanding, and Huaxia needed to retreat to its original borders.

But Meng Xiang ignored it at all.

In the case of different intentions, the two sides still maintained low-intensity skirmishes in various places.

As long as the two sides are not fighting to the death and let the Allies benefit out of thin air, the Germans will not be too demanding.

After eight days of fierce fighting, the two sides were at a stalemate.

Meng Xiang even promised the war against Japan proposed by Britain and the United States after being restricted by the Germans, holding the benefits at both ends, and watching the trend of historical changes with a cold eye with peace of mind.

The situation in this plane has become more and more distorted. This makes Meng Xiang cautious in the face of the complex and changeable international situation, and does not dare to make decisions easily.

The Germans rose too fast.

It was clear that the empire on which the sun never set had decayed, and instead of driving the landed Germans into the sea again, they were attacked by the Germans on the outskirts of London.

In this Sea Lion operation, although Germany lost more than 100,000 elite troops, the number of troops sent to the island of Great Britain still slowly exceeded 300,000.

Although the British and American fleets have been trying to blockade the English Channel, the German fleet has resisted the pressure and still transports some supplies and personnel from time to time. Since the Germans occupied a number of British airfields along the Channel and expanded several temporary airfields, air transport has not stopped.

Seeing that the heart of the British Empire was in front of him, Lao Xi mobilized almost all the landing forces to attack London.

This was a relief to the rest of the island of Great Britain, but London was in danger.

The British organized 500,000 British, French, Belgian, Dutch, American and other Allied armies near London, and the Germans never invaded London.

But the logistical drain of so many troops made the sea lifeline, which had been bitten by the German sea wolves, even more vulnerable. The Germans, on the other hand, had already sent their chariots to the island of Great Britain one after another.

Even though the losses during the transport and the German tanks delivered to the island were 3 to 1, that is, on average, less than 3 out of 10 tanks reached their destination, the Germans still managed to gather more than 200 tanks and break down the three lines of defense southeast of London in one go. They can already meet the Greenwich Observatory.

But they were then pushed back by the British.

The outskirts of London have become a meat grinder, where the damage is getting worse and worse. Throughout the month of September, more than 200,000 soldiers had fallen to the south and east of London and never got up again.

For a time, the total number of German landing troops was constantly decreasing.

There are a lot more dead than they have been replenished, and they can't be replenished at all.

With the invasion of the homeland, the British erupted with greater passion.

Factories and workshops all over Britain even produced weapons and ammunition in the open air in the bleak autumn wind, under the bombardment of the Germans. Young people are constantly being programmed into the ranks of recruits, and even old people and women are taking up arms, ready to defend their homes.

It is clear that the Germans were met with great resistance here.

But Lao Xi still did not divide his troops to attack other places, and only fought to the death in London.

There's nothing wrong with Lao Xi's strategy. Although the Germans amassed more than 2 million troops on the other side of the Channel in France and Belgium, they only managed to maintain about 200,000 troops in the British mainland. Once these forces were divided, they might have gone smoothly at first, but they would eventually be drowned in a sea of British revolts.

Rather, it would be better to seize on London alone, which, if breached, could directly break the confidence of the British, who could easily receive the wealth and industrial gifts of the rest of Britain.

What the Germans need is not a Britain in ruins, the family property that Britain has accumulated over the centuries as a world hegemon is what the Germans want most. Chief among these is one of the UK's leading industrial production capacity systems.

After occupying the British industrial system, the Germans had the confidence to argue with the Americans, and even directly ushered in peace talks with the Americans.

Apparently he again caught the sore feet of the British.

Britain is not monolithic, in order not to throw away the wealth accumulated by their ancestors, many British people do not want to move to Canada at all, and it is impossible for all people to leave their homeland to go to those wild places.

The British, who had already put on fine calfskin boots, were afraid to go back to the days when they stepped barefoot on the mud. Many people want to stop the war and ensure that their wealth does not turn to ashes in the flames of war.

There were more and more proposals in Parliament for peace talks, and Churchill had to use London as a bottom line in order to save the confidence of many people.

Since the Germans landed on the island of Great Britain, Churchill, who had made countless promises and guarantees before the war, has been cursed by many as a big liar.

The loss of interests in the war also made Churchill offend many people, otherwise how could Churchill be ousted as soon as World War II ended.

At this time, Churchill could only grit his teeth and stand up to the tip of the German spear, but fortunately, the royal family behind him had no way out. Just like Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan, others can surrender, but the royal family surrenders and it is over. They would rather fight to the end and retreat to Canada than surrender Germany as a puppet.

So Churchill's position was quite secure, but with the increasing offensive of the Germans, his position also faltered.

The Russians he was looking forward to were being beaten by the Germans and still did not enter the counterattack stage. And the Americans are in a mess of Asia.

This allowed the British royal family and Churchill to make even greater concessions to the Americans.

More concessions from the British have allowed the Americans to reap the benefits, and it is time to close the net. Otherwise, the consequences will be unmanageable. So the 100,000-strong expeditionary force of the Americans marched to Great Britain.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the operation, even the power of the US Navy is tilted towards Europe.

This is also the reason why the Americans lost the naval battle of Fiji, but there has been no large-scale operation.

The current strength of the U.S. Navy has not yet reached its peak at the end of World War II, and it also takes a process to accelerate the operation of industrial machinery, and a large number of warships are still on slipways without being launched. And the main forces of the navy in service were transferred to Europe.

In the Atlantic, the old warships began to fight the German sea wolves. In the Pacific Ocean, only one battleship of Iowa and six aircraft carriers were left to coerce the Japanese to attack southward and passively defend.

The Americans were not in a hurry to confront the Japanese, and the Japanese sword shadow did not bluff the Americans, but the timing was not right, they had to take care of Europe first, which disrupted Meng Xiang's original plan.

The previous Eight-Day War was a test of his reaction to the outside world.

The main thing is to test the reaction of the Americans.

Britain and the United States asked China to fight against Japan, and what they hoped most was that China would fight on the Korean Peninsula or even on the Japanese mainland, so that China was a little reluctant to go south after all.

But this time, when the Chinese army moved south, the Americans did not act excessively, but increased trade with China.

This made Meng Xiang breathe a sigh of relief.

Later generations know that the Americans did not do their best in World War II, and Meng Xiang could not estimate where the bottom line of the Americans was.

He has always regarded the United States as the final boss in the obstacles to China's rise, and since China wants to seize the interests of Asia, it will inevitably come into conflict with the United States if it wants to reach out to the Middle East, or even Australia, Africa, or South America.

With the idea that the two sides would always have a war, Meng Xiang always hoped to weaken the power of the Americans first.

Even if the Huaxia Navy can be dragged out to fight with the Japanese Navy at any time, Meng Xiang still hopes to let Japan and the United States eat dog first.

But he could not wait for the Americans to calm the crisis in Europe before fighting the Japanese. He needed to harvest the fruits of the south as soon as possible.

Meng Xiang also considered other options, one was to calm the crisis in Europe a little, and let the Americans fight the Japanese fiercely first. In this way, the Germans need to be suppressed first, and the Americans do not necessarily follow this routine.

One is to let the Germans drag down the United States, so that the United States will not care about Asia. In this way, the Japanese kitchen knife is useless.

This is not what Meng Xiang wants to see.

"At the most fundamental level, the Americans are still needed to fight on two fronts!" Meng Xiang struggled for a long time before he realized that he needed to ignite the passion of Americans again.
