Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

After more than a month of rush repairs, the India-Myanmar Highway will be fully open to traffic before the end of the month. From the Indian border to Homalin, the whole journey is more than 110 miles. The sheer volume of the project is simply unimaginable. It was also forced out during the war. 10,000+ laborers and tens of thousands of Chinese and Indian overseas Chinese worked together to complete this almost impossible task.

As the road became clear, the three oil pipelines were completed immediately. Gasoline, diesel and aviation kerosene, after several pump pressure transfers, flowed into the oil depot in Homalin continuously, but the project did not stop there. The construction team and technical personnel This line is still being pushed in the direction of Yingdo.

According to Jiang Haoran, this oil pipeline is going to lead directly to the country, and it is still early before the completion of the project.

The lengthy rainy season has finally arrived. The restless torrential rain has suddenly increased the water area of ​​the Inowaddy River by tens of meters in a few days, and the water level has risen in a straight line. Cut in half, this also indicates that a relatively safe period for both the enemy and us has arrived as scheduled.

The expeditionary force needed time to rest and train. The Japanese army suffered heavy defeats and was battered by armed helicopters. It also needed time to catch their breath. Therefore, this continuous rainy season was a timely rain for both the enemy and us.

The war situation in Burma had just stabilized. However, a piece of devastating news suddenly came from the European battlefield. On June 1941, [-], Britain announced through newspapers and radio stations that it asked Germany for an armistice and peace talks.

As soon as this news came out, the whole world was stunned. The Axis powers were elated and cheered, but the Allies were in mourning.

If Britain surrenders, Germany will have no worries on the western front and will be able to invest more troops to attack the Soviet Union with all its strength. It will be extremely difficult for the Allied forces to open up a second front on the western front, because there will be no suitable islands in the Atlantic Ocean that can serve as such large islands. The assembly place of large-scale troops and the starting point of the landing fleet.

If starting from the mainland of the United States, the front line is too long, and under the care of the German submarine wolf pack tactics, the safety of the transport boat cannot be guaranteed.It was precisely because Britain was standing still that Hitler was forced to build the "Atlantic Barrier" on the Western Front in order to defend against the landing of the Allied forces. pressure.

Once Britain surrendered, the biggest prize Germany got was the Royal Navy fleet.The Royal Navy of the United Kingdom was a world naval power that could compete with the United States and Japan at that time. The Royal Navy possessed the most scarce naval warfare equipment, battleships and aircraft carriers in Germany.As a result, the German Navy's ocean-going combat power will be greatly strengthened, and it may even threaten the security of the United States.In this case, it will be even more difficult for the Allied forces to land from the western front.

If Britain surrenders, the North African battlefield will fall into the hands of the German army. Germany will control the entire Mediterranean region, penetrate the entire Eurasian battlefield, especially the Suez Canal, and then gain the Arab countries, and even realize the joining forces with the Japanese army in India, opening up the two continents of Eurasia. battlefield.

Germany and Japan can connect their respective battlefields, which is the last thing the Allies want to see and cannot accept.If the German army uses the British Royal Navy to enter the Pacific battlefield through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Strait of Malacca to support the operations of the Japanese Combined Fleet.Judging from the naval forces of the United States, Britain, Japan, and Germany, once the German fleet enters the Pacific Ocean, Australia will immediately fall into the hands of the Axis powers.

As a result, the United States will lose its material transfer base and counterattack springboard in the Southwest Pacific, and the situation of the Allied forces in the Pacific battlefield will become more severe.

The impact on the entire Eurasian battlefield is even more profound. First of all, the aid of the Allied forces to the Soviet Union will be cut off.In fact, an important guarantee for the reason why the Soviet Union was able to persist in fighting against Germany in history was the large amount of aid provided by the Allied forces, otherwise the Soviet Union would not be able to resist the German attack at all.

Secondly, the aid of the Allied forces to China will also be cut off. Under the attack of Germany and Japan, the base of the [-]th Air Force, the transfer station of the Hump route, and the Burma Road will no longer be possible to get through. If it surrenders, India will directly become the territory of the German army, and the expeditionary force will be completely reduced to a lone army deep behind enemy lines.

To make matters worse, if the above-mentioned foreign aid is lost, China will face the Japanese attack independently, which is no less than a catastrophe for China.

Once the Chinese battlefield is lost, the Soviet Union will be attacked by the enemy, and its destruction is only a matter of time.

And if the Eurasian continent has been covered by the power of fascism, the United States will lose all its important allies. In the case of isolation and helplessness, they will not even have the need to fight to the death.

Once the British army surrendered, the Nordic countries would not be able to resist the German attack alone.Germany will obtain all strategic resources such as iron mines in Norway and Sweden, oil resources in the Arab world, rubber in central Africa and Southeast Asia, and copper mines in eastern and southern Africa. So close.

Therefore, as soon as the news came out, everyone in the entire Allied countries felt in danger, but they could not be the masters of the United Kingdom, and they had no other choice but to scold their mothers.

When Jiang Haoran first heard the news, although he was a little suspicious, his face turned pale with fright.In his heart, he didn't believe that Britain would easily seek peace with Germany. Although the current situation in Britain was quite severe, and the crazy German air strikes had plunged them into the baptism of war, it was far from the point where they had to surrender. After all, Britain was still behind. With such a powerful United States behind it, planes, artillery, and troops are continuously pouring into the European battlefield, and there are still battles to be fought.But the British government issued such a blatant announcement, which made him a little bit unbelievable. After all, this is news that damages the national prestige and cannot be used as a joke.

Therefore, he did not dare to neglect, and flew to Imphal overnight, hoping to seek accurate information from Alexander and Stilwell, but he was very disappointed. Both of them sent countless telegrams to the country, but the responses they received were all ambiguous and prevaricated information with no substantive value at all.

However, Jiang Haoran did not leave Imphal because of this. For several days, the United General Stilwell brainwashed Alexander. If the United Kingdom really surrendered, they hoped that Alexander would jump out of the control of the British government and set up a government in exile. The German War of Resistance could at least guarantee India's temporary disaster and buy the Allied forces a little time to prepare, but on the one hand, Alexander could not believe that the British government would surrender, and on the other hand, he did not dare to make this decision lightly.

Just after everyone spent three days in panic, another shocking news came again. The Soviet Union actually launched an attack on Germany.
