Among them, the Japanese Navy is the center of gravity of Japan's strengthening of the army, with the launch of a large number of warships in three years, the Japanese Navy, which suffered heavy losses during the war of aggression against China, not only quickly recovered its strength, but also became better than before, and became the second most powerful sea liliang in Shijie, after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor almost completely destroyed the US Pacific Fleet, if you just talk about the strength of the capital ships, the Japanese Navy is almost the first in Shijie

At the end of 1941, Japan had 12 aircraft carriers, including the two largest Yamato-class giant aircraft carriers on the Shijie, in addition to two Kongo-class high-speed battleships, but Japan had a weak foundation, as evidenced by the insufficient number of auxiliary ships and transport ships. What's even worse is that the 2 million young and middle-aged people who were lost forever after the defeat of the war of aggression against China could not be replenished in a short period of time, which greatly affected Japan's mobilization capacity, although because the total population is quite large, the maximum mobilization force in the data is still more than 6 million, but the quality is really not flattering, these 6 million can be worth the 4 million of other powers, and with Japan's current national strength, even if the resource factor is not considered, under the premise that the scale of the navy and air force remains unchanged, The Japanese government can only maintain an army of about one million for a long time at most, otherwise there is a danger of widespread famine in the country

In addition, Japan and Britain are both island nations, but they have no colonies to plunder, and their own resources are even more scarce, so the Japanese government is even more coveted by the Nanyang Islands, whose resource output is far more abundant than in history. On land, they are already afraid of the PLA, but at sea, they dare to fight even Pearl Harbor, not to mention the much weaker defense of the Nanyang Islands?

The sixth place is now only half of the country left in Vichy France, although even the national capital Paris has been lost, but after all, the foundation of the old powers is still there, and because of the rapid surrender, so the damage caused by the war is relatively small, so even if only half of France is left, the total industrial output in 1941 is still no less than 6 billion US dollars. Crude steel production also exceeds 4 million tons. Nevertheless. As a defeated and surrendered client state, the size of the three armies of Vichy France was strictly limited by Germany, and the Vichy French army, which had become a slave of the country, lost the motivation to fight, and was far from the strong army that dominated the European continent in the past

The seventh place is Italy, which is purely soy sauce regardless of time and space. Due to the fact that the industrial base itself is not very good. In addition, the Great War of the North-South Split caused a lot of damage. At the end of 1941, the newly reunited Italy was in an even worse industrial position than the previous year, with a total industrial output of less than $5 billion. Steel production is just over 3 million tons. However, even so, due to the fact that it was already under German control, the Italian army was much more effective than it was in history. Of course, this is not to say that they are now a strong Shijie army, but purely the Italian army in history is too much

In addition to these seven powers, which were already industrial powers, the plane also saw the rise of two emerging powers, of which the Arab Federation led by Kerim was the most unusual. The size and population of this country are quite staggering, and the resources within the territory are very rich, but they are basically undeveloped, there is almost no basic industry, and weapons and equipment are all captured and imported, and this alone cannot be said to be a power in the true sense of the word; However, with the leadership of Klim with outstanding military talents, and the million-strong army that has been tested by war, coupled with the national consciousness awakened by the colonial people in the process of fighting for independence and the hatred of the West, it is really difficult to deal with on land, but it is somewhat similar to the new China that has just been founded but has not yet begun the first five years of Jihua.

When all the allies in the Mediterranean surrendered and Greece declared neutrality, the Mediterranean became a de facto inland lake for the Axis powers, allowing the Arab Federation to receive a large amount of aid from Germany and Italy without hindrance. Coupled with the fact that the UAE straddles Europe and Asia and is geographically important, this emerging regional power, although not based on a solid foundation, has quickly gained a pivotal position in the international arena

However, Kerim was not relieved by the fifth army, he always wanted to build an equally powerful navy to protect the vast territory with narrow terrain and near the sea, and the two British battleships that were bombed and sunk in Alexandria by the Italian frogmen attracted the attention of Kerim when he was not able to build warships for the time being. However, because the German-supported salvage equipment was not transported to Alexandria until after the surrender of the British troops in Sicily, several months had passed since the sinking of the two warships, and the sea water was so corrosive that it had already rusted by the time it was salvaged

In desperation, Kerim had to put aside the idea of building a large navy for the time being, and focus on industrialization and internal stability, but this was obviously not so easy, because the Berber and Berber Arab settlements with high average literacy rates were fine, and the new territory east of Egypt was full of illiteracy, and if you want to promote industrialization, you must first achieve universal education. However, the popularization of modern education in these backward areas will inevitably violate the interests of the local princes and chiefs, and the United States and Britain will naturally not let this opportunity go, and send spies to stir up contradictions within the United Arab Emirates, resulting in a series of rebellions in West Asia

And because the United Arab League joined the Axis powers, the Soviet Union, which had a good relationship with it before, also sent spies to the Republic of Iran, which had just become independent and joined the Islamic League, because the vast majority of Muslims in Iran are Shiites, and Kerim, the "liberator", is a Sunni, there is already a lot of contradiction between the two, and the Soviet Union quickly saw the effect of such a provocation, and soon a large-scale uprising broke out in Iran again, Due to the large number of Shiite believers at the bottom of society, the government of the republic fell a few days after the official establishment of the army due to a large-scale mutiny

Kerim was an extremely resilient man, and even though he had been assassinated more than a dozen times since his eastward expansion, he still did not give up his intention to reform Islam and let it enter modern society as soon as possible, but internal worries inevitably involved most of his energy, and the wave of liberation of the whole of Africa stopped near the 10th parallel, and the British and many other Western governments finally breathed a sigh of relief (to be continued......
