Chapter 1354 Japan's Second Pearl Harbor

On September 5, both British and Argentine representatives arrived in Brasilia to begin a preparatory meeting for formal negotiations. It was mainly to discuss the content of the ceasefire negotiations between the two sides and the number of representatives from both sides. The United States has insisted on joining the negotiations on the grounds that the United States has already helped the United Kingdom in escort operations, so it is necessary to participate in this negotiation. In fact, this is because South America has always been the backyard of the United States, and the United States wants to use this opportunity to keep its presence in South America. Status, there is no other way. The energy group has established a new naval base in the Americas. You must know that this is the backyard of the Americans. What are you doing? The Cuban Missile Crisis? At the same time, it won more bargaining chips for the United Kingdom. At first, the Argentines rejected the participation of the United States, and finally agreed to the participation of the United States in the negotiations. At the same time, Argentina also asked China to participate in the negotiations, because according to the Americans, China actually participated in the war, so China must also participate in this negotiation. In the end, it was decided that both the United States and China would participate in the cease-fire negotiations, with Afghanistan and China as one side and Britain and the United States as the other. The United States believed that no matter how hard China tried in its backyard, it would not be able to stir up big waves, because when the United States announced that it would escort the British fleet, The Chinese have backed off. But this move by the United States was wrong again.

On September 10, the Arab, Chinese, British and American parties started formal ceasefire negotiations in Brasilia. The main contents of the negotiations were, first, the ownership of the Falkland Islands; second, the exchange of prisoners of war between the two sides; and third, the issue of war reparations. The UK and Afghanistan each sent 10 negotiators, while the US and China only sent 5 negotiators. Of course, one of the Chinese negotiators is from an energy group.

The two sides first negotiated on the ownership of the Falklands. Since the Falklands had been completely occupied by Argentina, and the British expeditionary fleet was completely destroyed, it was no longer able to take it back from Argentina, so the British did not feel too low on this issue. Bargain on prices. However, in order to contain Argentina and China on other issues, the British still made a lot of efforts. In the end, in the face of the facts, the British had to give up their claim to the sovereignty of the Falklands, and Argentina also agreed that it would guarantee all the rights and obligations of all citizens of British descent on the island, and would not treat these people as second-handers because of this war. Waiting for citizens to be treated, and expressing that these personnel can be given the right to choose whether to become Argentine citizens. If they are unwilling to become Argentine citizens, they can be allowed to leave and their property and personal safety are guaranteed. Li Cong can see the importance of Falklands xìng, but it is not suitable to occupy there now, after all, the eyes of the whole world are there.

On September 15, the second round of negotiations between Afghanistan, China, Britain and the United States was held. The issue discussed this time was the exchange of prisoners of war. Throughout the Second Falklands War, Argentina captured a total of more than 20,000 British soldiers (mainly the two British marine brigades and two army brigades who landed on the Falklands). The necessary casualties were all surrendered to the Argentine army after receiving domestic instructions). The United Kingdom only captured more than 200 people in Argentina, including the crew of a 209 submarine. Almost all others are pilots. Since China and the United States are not captured by each other, this issue is mainly negotiated between Britain and Afghanistan. Argentina captured a total of 217 British pilots (including 52 American pilots who were temporarily naturalized as British citizens. These people became British citizens in order to avoid being treated as mercenaries), while the United Kingdom only captured 153 Argentine pilots. The United Kingdom requires both sides to release all pilots, because these pilots are the most valuable among the captives, and pilots who have been tested in actual combat can be said to be more valuable than gold.

However, Argentina only agreed to exchange pilots in equal numbers, and the surplus pilots demanded that the British exchange them at a price of 100 kilograms of gold per pilot. According to this calculation, the UK would have to pay Argentina 6.4 tons of gold in exchange for all its pilots. In terms of other personnel, Argentina captured 550 British special forces and more than 22,000 ordinary soldiers, while the Argentines captured by the British had only 54 submarine officers and soldiers, including 12 officers. Argentina agreed to Britain's request to exchange special forces for submarine officers and soldiers, but they were all exchanged in equal quantities, and the other British soldiers had to ask the British to "buy" them back at the price of British life insurance. At that time, the average life insurance in the UK was 1 million pounds per person, equivalent to 1.48 million U.S. dollars, or more than 5 million yuan. If the UK "buys" at this price, then the UK will have to pay Argentina as much as 23 billion pounds, which is more than 200 billion yuan. This is simply impossible for the UK to bear. Therefore, the United Kingdom will never agree to this request. The British directly asked both sides to release all prisoners of war, but the Argentines would never sell this cheapness to the British. In the end, after mediation by Brazil and other countries, the two sides reached a consensus that the United Kingdom paid Argentina 15 billion pounds in one go, and the two sides jointly released all prisoners of war. What Argentina wants is not the pound, because the pound is useless in its hands, and Argentina has already begun to boycott British goods. So Argentina asked Britain to pay in RMB, because Argentina imported a large amount of weapons and equipment from energy groups during the war, and these were basically purchased in the form of loans, so if Argentina wants to repay this part of the funds, it must take out RMB . The UK has no other choice, because in this solution, the UK has taken advantage of a lot, and finally agreed to pay 165 billion yuan to Argentina. Now, the market value of the renminbi will rise rapidly, because China has been controlling the renminbi The amount of RMB is so much below the UK, so the market pressure on the RMB is not small. In the end, the British spent more than 20 billion pounds to buy so many RMB, so the British did not take advantage of it. More than half of the money went into Li Cong's pocket. After all, the renminbi hoarded by the energy group is astronomical. This is the first time Li Cong has tasted the thing of using his own money to make a circle and come back, and then make a lot of money. , Of course, Li Cong will not treat Argentina so cooperatively, and directly gave Argentina dozens of air force fighters that it retired.

On September 20, the Arab, Chinese, British and American parties held the third round of negotiations. The content of this negotiation was war reparations, which was also the most difficult point to reconcile. Since Argentina had actually won the Second Falklands War, Argentina had the right to demand war reparations from the British. The Argentines listed their losses in the war, including the sacrifice of 5,218 people (mainly army soldiers who died while resisting the British landing, as well as more than 30 pilots, 54 submarine officers and soldiers, and more than 250 ship officers and soldiers), The loss of two frigates, two submarines, 254 fighter planes, the large amount of ammunition consumed, and the damage caused to Argentina's national economy, etc., the Argentine lion asked the UK to pay 100 billion pounds, which is 1.1 trillion yuan for the war indemnity. Of course, this is just a condition put forward by the Argentines. They demanded a lot of money, and the British had no choice but to pay back the money. The British also cited their own losses, demanding that Argentina should compensate Britain for this part. The reason is that the Falklands War was started by the Argentines.

But history is always decided by the victor. The Argentines said that this is a just war for Argentina to recover the territory occupied by the British, and they added one more point, that is, the British will take the Falklands over the past 23 years. All interests in the country are reverted to Argentina. Both sides can be said to be quarrelsome. Argentina also launched anti-British demonstrations because of the tough attitude of the United Kingdom. Some people even clamored to go to the United Kingdom and occupy their islands for decades before returning them. Of course, these are the momentum created by Argentina. Everyone knows that with Argentina's naval strength, it is impossible to pose a threat to the British mainland. But the British had indeed lost the war, so their low-key words were unavoidable. No matter how loud the Argentines were, the British could do nothing about it. The war reparations must be paid, and now it was just a question of how much. On this day, due to the large gap between the two parties, they decided to continue the negotiation in 5 days and then the meeting ended!

On September 25th, Britain and Afghanistan held separate negotiations. Since the anti-war wave in the UK has already broken out, if the UK cannot immediately end its shameful actions in the South Atlantic, the country will face the danger of economic collapse and the government will also face the possibility of stepping down. In the end, the British government agreed to pay Argentina war indemnity, but the amount was much less than what Argentina requested, and the Argentines accepted it as soon as it was good. Finally, after some bargaining between the two sides, a war indemnity agreement was reached. The United Kingdom paid Argentina 50 billion pounds, which is 525 billion yuan in war reparations, and will undertake the reconstruction obligation of the Falklands. The war reparations must be paid over 20 years and calculated at the rate of inflation every year. When Britain paid the war reparations 20 years later, it subdued as much as 850 billion yuan from the Argentines. This is something the British never expected. But the British nightmare was not over.

On September 30, China and Britain negotiated war reparations. Because China has confirmed that the submarine that attacked the Chinese fleet belonged to the British, China has the right to demand that Britain pay war reparations. Of course, China is not like Argentina, which only thinks about immediate interests, and China's requirements are not so easy to meet. China demanded that Britain hand over the two submarines and their crews that attacked the Chinese fleet. In terms of compensation, the price offered by China is not high. It only requires the UK to pay for the construction cost of the frigate, and it has paid compensation for more than 100 officers and soldiers who died on board. But the most terrible thing is that China stated that in order to prevent such incidents from happening in the future, it required the United Kingdom to surrender the jurisdiction of Ascension Island and hand it over to China for 20 years before determining the ownership of the island. Because the Chinese have produced evidence that the British submarines that attacked the Chinese fleet departed from Ascension Island. It is absolutely impossible for the British to accept China's asking price. First of all, the British are required to hand over two of the most advanced British nuclear submarines. These two submarines are equipped with the latest British technology and are top secret. If they are handed over to the Chinese, then the British submarines will be taken by the Chinese in the future. People "fun and play". Of course, the Americans will not let the British hand over their submarines, because the submarines of the United States and the United Kingdom can be said to be in the same line. And if Britain wants to hand over its soldiers to other countries, even if the government agrees, the response among the people is unacceptable. The soldiers risked their lives to make meritorious deeds for the country. Now the government wants to call these heroic soldiers to It is impossible for any country to do such a thing if other countries deal with it! In terms of compensation, the British can no longer afford more money, but China's request is not too much, so they reluctantly agreed. Regarding the ownership of Ascension Island, the British are desperate for face. If they want to cede their territory, even death is better than this. But now Ascension Island can be said to be a chicken rib. Britain has lost all its overseas territories in the South Atlantic Ocean. Such a small island is of little value, but the United States strongly asks the United Kingdom not to agree, because the United States is the military and does not want to see it. To the expansion of China's sphere of influence to the Atlantic Ocean. The first round of negotiations between the two sides also broke down.

On October 5, China and Britain conducted another negotiation. China insists on its injustice, and it can be said that it is justified and not forgiving. Moreover, China's three aircraft carrier formations have also completed their escort missions in the South Atlantic, and are now heading north, pretending to go to the British mainland to show off their might. In fact, even if the British aircraft carrier is lost, it is impossible for anyone to attack the British mainland at this time. This behavior of the Chinese fleet is just a threat to the British to submit.

Under domestic pressure, the British government finally told China secretly that it could consider selling Ascension Island, but asked China to withdraw its request for British submarines and submarine officers and soldiers. The Chinese government saw that its goal had been achieved, so it immediately agreed with the British. In the end, the two sides reached an armistice treaty, and Britain paid China 2 billion yuan in war reparations, and at the same time sold Ascension Island to China for management. After 20 years, China and Britain will negotiate to determine the ownership of Ascension Island. The treaty was signed in secret, and by the time the Americans knew it was too late. There is no way for the UK to sign the treaty behind the back of the Americans, because if the Americans know, then the negotiations between the UK and China will definitely not proceed smoothly, and the UK has already begun to strive for a new general election. If the Chinese fleet is allowed to go around the British Isles, then no one can guarantee that the current British government will not fall immediately, and the British government in the lower realm will definitely be the United Kingdom. Of course, the United States can't say much afterwards, because this is entirely a matter for the United Kingdom, and it can only jump in anger.

On October 10th, the last round of A-US negotiations ended. Due to the face of the United States and the powerful influence of the United States in South America, Argentina did not ask the United States to pay war reparations, and the United States also agreed to pay for those sunk by American escort ships. The construction cost of an Argentine Navy submarine is already worth 1 billion US dollars in pensions for the officers and soldiers above.

On October 11, the Argentine, Chinese, British and American parties jointly signed the Second Falklands War Ceasefire Agreement. The Second Falklands War officially ends.

The Second Falklands War was completely different from the ending of the war 23 years ago. It made the world realize that the world is now a world where China and the United States are competing for hegemony, and with the support of energy groups, China still occupies a certain point. Advantageous, due to the economic reasons of Great Russia and the political reasons of New Europe, these two powerful countries and groups of countries can only play a supporting role in the fierce competition between China and the United States. Since then, China's position in the world has been officially established, because with the support of China, the weak Argentina defeated the powerful Britain.

The biggest beneficiary of this war was Argentina. Argentina not only completed the unification of the country, but also received huge war reparations from Britain, which injected a lot of vitality into Argentina's economic development. The Argentine army has also gained valuable experience from this war, and has established itself as the number one military power in South America, and has acquired more advanced technologies in its future cooperation with China. Since then, Argentina has become China's most important ally and has always been China's most loyal supporter. Argentina has therefore attracted a large amount of Chinese investment, and Chinese tourists, immigrants, and Chinese people who came to Argentina have no Argentine friendship has made outstanding contributions to the development of Argentina. Due to the close relationship between China and Argentina, there has been a large influx of Chinese immigrants, and Chinese has almost become the second language of Argentina.

The energy group's score is no less than that of Argentina. First, the energy group has acquired a military base on the Atlantic Ocean, opening up a base for the energy group's power to extend to the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, Argentina has opened up to the energy group in order to thank the energy group for their selfless help. All of its military bases welcome the military of the energy group to help South America with its independent activities, and through the military base in Argentina, the energy group will play a huge role in South America in the future, making the United States busy in rectifying its own backyard. A year later, the Peruvian coup, the subsequent movement in Chile to get rid of the control of the United States, the movement of Panama to take back the canal, and finally the South American Freedom League led by Brazil and Argentina, all of which could not be separated from the support of the energy group and the special forces of the energy group. effort. Of course, these are things for later. The most important thing is that the energy group took advantage of this war to transfer a large amount of idle funds in the group to South America to help Argentina and other countries develop their economies, and thus controlled a large amount of important strategic resources in South America. A good foundation was laid for a war that shocked the world. Since then, the international status of the energy group has been on par with the Skull and Bones in the Americas. In the past, the United States has always caused troubles around the energy group. Now the energy group has burned the flames of war to the backyard of the United States. The United States cannot even protect its own backyard. What will convince others of him?

Of course, China has also obtained its own interests, but it is not as huge as the energy group. This year, it pays and gains.

Of course, through this war, the status of the United Kingdom can be said to have plummeted. The British navy, which is known as the third most powerful in the world, cannot even solve a small Argentina, and it has also ended in annihilation. It is almost impossible to restore its naval power, and as a result, Britain's international status has fallen to the level of a second- or even third-rate country. In the United Nations, which exists in name only, many countries have demanded that the United Kingdom be revoked as an ordinary member of the United Nations. If it were not for the fact that the United Kingdom still has powerful nuclear weapons, it would have been kicked off the position of an ordinary member of the United Nations long ago. Of course, these are not important. The most important thing is that the decline of the United Kingdom has dealt the heaviest blow to the group of countries headed by the United States.

Although it seems that the loss of the United States is not serious, the United States has been hit the hardest. As mentioned earlier, the United States has almost lost its control over South America and lost its own backyard. The strength of the North American Free Trade Association is rapidly declining. Twilight has come in America!

On October 12, 2010, the fleet of the Energy Group left the waters of the Malvinas Islands and began to set off for South Africa. It made a friendly visit to South Africa, then went along the west coast of Africa to Norway in Northern Europe, and then went south through the Strait of Gibraltar, Dada The Neil Strait enters the Black Sea, finally exits the Suez Canal, enters the Gulf, then exits the Arabian Sea and goes south along the east coast of Africa, finally bypasses Madagascar, crosses the Indian Ocean, arrives in Malaysia, and finally returns to the Sri Lankan Naval Base. And visited some countries along the way, and it took 2 months to return to the home port. This big "cruise" of the Energy Group's fleet can be said to be a show of force under the prestige of the war. People everywhere are seeing the energy group's navy. After being so strong, I feel that the world has changed, and a group is so powerful.

The earth, which has been quiet for more than two months, was once again awakened by the flames of war. On this day, Japan's secret fleet attacked the return air force base on China's Ryukyu Island. The Second Pacific War broke out.

At that time, the Chinese fleet stationed in the naval base on Ryukyu Island had two aircraft carrier formations. In addition, there were more than 200 fighter jets stationed in the air force base on the island. Because the base was shared by China and the energy group, there were also The three anti-corruption frigates of the Energy Group and the 1,000-man garrison of the Marine Corps. The Japanese attack began at 6:00 am, just as the sun was rising. Just like 74 years ago, the Japanese's sneak attack can be said to be very shrewd and successful in tactics. The three bō fighters had the opportunity to destroy the entire naval base, the two aircraft carriers and 12 destroyers parked inside. , 8 frigates were completely destroyed, and only four nuclear submarines were dispatched in time, avoiding the Japanese sneak attack. But the Japanese made the same mistake 74 years ago, always thinking that the success in tactics can make up for the inadequacy in strategy. When the tension is the tightest, it is also the time when it is most likely to break, so Japan's final defeat was decided at the beginning of the war, not to mention 80 years ago, the Japanese used so much more advanced equipment than China, and in terms of national strength It has surpassed China by several times, and has not defeated China. Now China can be said to be in full swing. Even if Japan can win in the early stage, when China recovers, the end of Japan will come.

The most puzzling thing after the war is why the Chinese let the Japanese succeed under such advanced reconnaissance technology, and from the casualty data released by China, it can be found that the loss of naval personnel is not equal to the loss of ships Proportionally, so many ships were lost, but the casualties were not thousands. If these ships were full, there would definitely be more casualties. Moreover, China's satellite reconnaissance system can be said to be on par with the United States, and it failed to detect the assembly of the Japanese fleet and did not take timely countermeasures. Many people doubt whether China specifically asked the Japanese to provoke this war to achieve its own goals. Of course, there is another saying that Li Cong wants to start a war and teach the Japanese a lesson, so relying on his more powerful jamming network to make the Chinese satellite out of control, no one can clearly investigate these things, it can only be a random guess .

Of course, we must also introduce the present Japan. Since Japan's defeat in Korea and Taiwan, the domestic militaristic atmosphere and the idea of ​​revenge have been deeply rooted. A military government rules Japan. Because the United States needs Japan to contain China in the Western Pacific, the United States adopted a new policy of indulgence towards Japan. It is the same as the policy of Britain and France towards fascist Germany in the 1930s. The United States also suffered a huge loss because of its own wrong methods. , because when the Japanese are full of ambition, no one can stop them. After more than 6 years of military control in Japan, the country's economy has shown signs of improvement, and with its world's second largest shipbuilding capacity, it has built a second fleet in Asia, including four large aircraft carriers, more than 20 destroyers, 30 Multiple frigates, 18 p submarines. The construction of the navy has reached its peak after World War II. Of course, Japan's fascist rule did have obvious effects on the country's development at the beginning, but when the country embarks on external expansion, then failure is already doomed. And China seems to be letting the Japanese develop, maybe this is a way for the Chinese to completely solve the Japanese problem!

On December 18, 2022, the day after the Chinese naval base was attacked by Japan. The head of state of China delivered a televised speech to the whole country, and 1.5 billion people in China sat in front of the TV. Chinese President, Chinese General Secretary Su Mingyang (Wang Lieying’s term expired in 2013, Su Mingyang, former Mayor of Dalian, Mayor of Shenyang, Governor of Liaoning Province, Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of the State Council, and Vice Premier of the State Council was elected as China’s top leader) The speech is as follows His height of 1.85 meters represented the same straightforward attitude. There were only two sentences. The first sentence was that from now on, China officially declared war on Japan, and the whole country entered a wartime state. The second sentence is that it is time for us to settle all historical accounts with Japan. Subsequently, Wang Lieying, chairman of the Military Commission (retired to the second line, but still number one in the Chinese ruling class), called on the entire * people to unite to resist Japanese aggression. China's most powerful war machine began to run at full capacity to completely solve the Japanese problem.

Now it is necessary to introduce China's national conditions first. According to statistics at the beginning of 2022, China is already the world's number one in the production of strategic raw materials such as steel, grain, aluminum ingots, coal, and cement, with a gap of at least 20% from the second. Among them, self-sufficiency in raw materials such as iron ore, grain, and aluminum ore has reached more than 80%. In terms of manufacturing, China was already the world's largest shipbuilding country in 2010, and its output was 30% higher than that of Japan, the second largest. The output of TVs, mobile phones, and automobiles has reached the world's largest Well, it can be said that China has become the factory of the world, and China's industrial manufacturing capacity is not even comparable to that of the United States. It is inseparable from China's huge market, and has a lot to do with China's emphasis on the development of manufacturing industry. In the manufacture of large passenger aircraft, the cooperation with Dassault Group has allowed them to fully master a lot of technology. In fact, Li Cong deliberately made them stronger. If China is willing, the production line of these passenger aircraft can be used to produce bombers at any time. .

In terms of industrial production, because China has the advantage of low labor force, no country in the world can compete with China. Therefore, China's war potential is already recognized as the number one in the world. Even the United States admits that if it wages an all-out war with China, it will not be sure of winning. In terms of military power, the focus of China's current construction has fallen on the air force and navy. With the support of energy groups, new fighter jets are continuously coming off the production line. Of course, some of them are supplied to friendly countries, because China's weapons have withstood The tests of many wars, although its performance is still far behind that of the United States in some aspects, but in terms of comprehensive combat capability, the high-tech products of the United States cannot compete in price, so those poor countries, in order to obtain high-tech The weapons of technology have set their sights on China, and China does not require payment in cash, and can be exchanged for various resources. This makes these countries seem to have found treasures, and they have come up with the only ones in their own countries. Resources are exchanged for China's cooperation. China also controls the strategic resources of many countries through this method. Because China has acquired resources but is unable to exploit them, it cooperates with energy groups like a second-hand dealer in exchange for a large amount of advanced economic development. This provided the necessary impetus for China to go to war.

In the navy, new ships are launched into service every month. After building 6 Junshen-class aircraft carriers, they found that some of the problems had to be solved, so they developed the Emperor-class aircraft carrier based on them. The latest two ships have been launched in early 2022. With the outbreak of the war, the number of these ships The construction speed will be high, and with China's strong shipbuilding capabilities, there is no great difficulty in building new ships. The energy group is no longer planning to develop any aircraft carrier, so it wants its allies to build more of these things. Facts have proved that aircraft carriers are still very useful.

And the most important thing is that Japan is now taking the initiative to start a war against China. If it were the United States, perhaps the people's mood would not be so sad and indignant. Because Japan and China have too many grievances in history, as long as it is mentioned to deal with the Japanese, the people of the whole country will take the initiative to tighten their kù belts, even if they do not eat or drink, they must defeat the Japanese. Of course, China does not need to do this now. After nationwide mobilization, 1.5 billion people are marching towards the same goal under one baton. If this power can be seen by the short-sighted leaders in Japan, then even Give them the guts to be brave, and they will never dare to pick up Chinese tiger whiskers at this time.

On December 20th, the squadron took the initiative to take the defensive position, because out of the existing 8 aircraft carriers, two were destroyed by Japan, and the other two latest emperor-class ships, Ying Zheng and Liu Che, were still being fitted out and trained. Among them, in the short term, it is impossible to go into battle, and the three ships Yue Fei, Han Signal, and Yuan Chonghuan that came back from the South Atlantic are still resting and overhauling, and the crews are very tired, so it is impossible to go into battle within three months But the last Zhuge Liang has no strength to fight against the four Japanese aircraft carriers. It is absolutely necessary and correct for China to take a defensive position at this time, because China's strategic depth is unmatched by Japan. The Chinese can fight a protracted war, but if the Japanese want to win, they must fight a decisive battle with China, but this is not something they can do if they want to.

Countries around the world have also accused Japan of aggression and expressed support for China's war against aggression. Argentina, Tanzania, North Korea, Pakistan, Israel, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and other countries that are closely related to energy groups expressed their stance first. offers. Subsequently, those countries in Southeast Asia that had been invaded by Japan before also expressed serious accusations of Japan's aggression, but because the United States did not express its position, it had already had disputes with China on some regional issues and did not support China much. The New European Union and Great Russia have expressed limited support for China because they are worried that China's expansion will affect their interests in the world, but they have always expressed concern that Japan's expansion will pose a threat to world peace. In the end, the United States slowly expressed its attitude, only expressing its disapproval of Japan's aggression and worrying about the military balance in the Western Pacific. But everyone knows that the United States hopes that Japan and China will suffer mutual losses and create conditions for the return of American power to the Western Pacific.

On December 31, 2022, since China does not want to have a decisive battle with the Japanese navy at this time, the Japanese navy has not encountered an opponent in the Western Pacific, and China's active concession does not mean that China is incapable of resisting the Japanese attack. Although the Chinese navy has been staying behind closed doors, allowing the Japanese navy to steal the limelight, life for the Japanese is not easy. The Japanese know this bitterness. The Chinese Air Force has always maintained support for the Ryukyu Islands, and conducted limited bombing of Japan through the Busan base provided by North Korea to China, causing chaos in Japan. Moreover, Japan's original plan to occupy all of Ryukyu in 10 days went bankrupt because of the heroic resistance of the squadron, and the Japanese army is still searching for Chinese special forces in the dense forests of the Ryukyu Islands. However, this action has been proved to be quite difficult more than 70 years ago. At that time, the United States invested a lot of manpower and material resources in order to clear the remaining Japanese troops on the Pacific Islands, but the results were not ideal. If Japan had not surrendered , the United States will pay a greater price for this. Although science and technology are changing with each passing day, there are more benefits for special warfare. Chinese special forces can obtain supplies from Chinese submarines, and the Chinese army's previous advantage of directly using all the enemy's resources has not been lost. , so the Japanese have been unable to eliminate the Chinese special forces still active on these islands. On the contrary, a large number of troops were restrained here. Japan's already limited war resources are being consumed every day.

On January 1, 2023, the Japanese finally couldn't sit still. If Japan still cannot obtain war resources, even if China does not send troops to attack Japan, then Japan will lose the war due to the exhaustion of resources. This is the fatal point of Japan. China can rely on its own ability to carry out a long-term war of attrition, but the Japanese cannot afford it. Japan can only attack and attack again. If the Japanese stop attacking, then The day of his failure is not far away, but there are not many places in the Pacific Ocean where the Japanese can gallop freely. The east is the sphere of influence of the Americans. If Japan and the United States are at war again at this time, then Japan will undoubtedly You are accelerating your own failure. To the west is mainland China. Japan does not have the confidence to make a decision with the Chinese navy within the range of activities of the Chinese air force, because the Americans, who are much stronger than Japan, have proved China's invincibility in their surrounding areas in the war more than 7 years ago. this conclusion. So Japan's eyes can only turn to the south. First and foremost is the Philippines. Japan can obtain strategic resources such as rubber from the Philippines. Of course, the most important thing is that the energy group has a huge oil depot in the Philippines, which stores more than 80 million tons of environmentally friendly oil. Although the energy group has not interrupted Japan's supply, it can put everything It's best to keep it in your own hands. But the Philippines is now the only ally of the United States in Southeast Asia. If the United States directly participates in the war because of the Philippines' problems, then Japan will lose nothing, but Japan must gamble this time in the face of the danger of losing the war. of. Besides, General Mellon still has his own trump card-artificial man, and Japan may not be able to succeed.

At 2 o'clock in the morning of the same day, a Japanese marine corps landed north of Luzon Island in the Philippines. Japan's expansion of the war began. ! .
