Beiyang reactionaries

Malaysia, or the Malay Peninsula, has had many countries in history.After the British colonists came, just like India, they were forcibly merged together by the British.After Britain was defeated by Japan, these traditional forces jumped out.Not only traditional forces, but also the armed forces of the Communist Party of Malaysia are not weak.Now that Japan is about to be defeated, these forces are desperately performing in order to gain their post-war status.Of course, this is also related to the "Ili Declaration".

In the declaration, China, the United Kingdom and the United States announced that they respect the freedom of all ethnic groups in Southeast Asia to choose their own way of independence.The explanation is that you can choose to cooperate to form a country, or you can choose to be independent.Depending on the nationality, religion, history, and culture, there can be different ways of independence.

Many powerful factions have taken a fancy to this opportunity.

But in any case, the entire Malaysian region controlled by Japan is already in flames. On September 1944, 9, the last Japanese troops stationed in Malaysia chose to surrender.

The war in Indochina was officially ended.

From China's participation in the war, in just over a month, more than 130 million Japanese troops in the entire Indochina Peninsula were wiped out.It also included some servants who followed the Japanese army, the number of which was about 40, and they all chose to surrender.After the war in the Indochina Peninsula ended, Britain was more anxious.I hope that the troops will be recovered as soon as possible. Anyway, in the "Ili Declaration", Britain has lost control of Southeast Asia.Even in South Asia, British influence declined sharply.

Now the United Kingdom has gathered a large number of troops in the Indochina Peninsula. The number of pure British troops alone has reached 30, and there are millions of British and Indian troops fighting with the British army, plus the West African Division, New Zealand Division, Australian Division, Canadian divisions, various British allied units.The total number exceeds 150 million people.So many troops are currently doing almost nothing in the Indochina Peninsula, which is a complete waste of troops.

For the British army, the most important thing at this stage is Europe.

Since China announced terms similar to the "Lease Act", the Soviet Union has benefited the most.Because the Soviet Union is close at hand, and the United Kingdom is at most that the British army in the Indochina Peninsula can obtain supplies.The British mainland is too far away from China, so it is better to get supplies from the United States.In addition, the Soviet Union mortgaged many resources in the Far East to China, so China is very willing to support the Soviet Union.

Give what you want, which greatly relieves the pressure on the Soviet Union.

Originally, the Soviet Union really lacked many things, including lack of food.But after China began to support it, the Soviet Union immediately had no shortage of things.Moreover, China has given the Soviet Union a large number of trucks, and it has given the Soviet Union 13 trucks within half a year.In this era, trucks are the biggest guarantee for logistics.With trucks, frontline troops have supplies.With China's strong material support, the Soviet Union's advance speed is getting faster and faster.

This worries the UK very much.

Worried.

I am afraid that the Soviet Union will sweep across Europe, and Europe will no longer belong to the United Kingdom.Therefore, by the end of the Malaysian campaign, Britain had already begun to consider withdrawing large forces to the European battlefield.To prevent the Soviet Union from encroaching on the whole of Europe.

The United States at this time thought the same way.

Solve the Far East battlefield as soon as possible.The United States has even contacted Japan through some channels, hoping to negotiate with Japan.As long as Japan is willing to surrender, then many aspects are easy to say.The idea of ​​the United States is that Japan will surrender quickly to end the war in the Far East.

The United States does not want to delay for too long in the Far East, a place with little interest.Like Britain's concerns, the United States is also worried about the situation in the European battlefield.Not to mention the Soviet Union, since Germany swept across Europe, a large number of communist armed forces have emerged in European countries.These Communist armed forces are developing rapidly behind enemy lines, and many of them have very powerful armed forces.The communist parties in countries such as France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, and Greece have greatly increased in strength, and even the communist parties in countries such as Austria have extensive activities.Because they resisted at home, their influence among the people of various countries has greatly increased.

Now the Soviet Union has made a strong attack, echoing the Communist armed forces behind these enemy lines.If you don't pay attention, those European countries will vote for the Soviet Union and become a socialist country.This is what the United States is very worried about, and it is also very fearful.If Europe turns red, it will directly hit Britain and the United States.

Concessions in the Far East have already caused the United States to lose face.

But no matter how important the Far East is, it cannot be compared with Europe.Therefore, the United States is willing to quickly end the Far East battlefield and is willing to negotiate privately with Japan.It's a pity that Suzuki Kantaro is old, but he is not confused, and he did not choose to negotiate with the United States in private.

None of them are fools.

In today's Asia, although Britain and the United States are also very strong, there are a large number of troops.But China, which has just joined the war, is the big country that really determines the fate of Asia. Many people can see this.You can't see it when China doesn't show its mountains and water, but after a real fight, who can ignore a big country like China.In just over a month of participating in the war, more than 3 combat aircraft have been used, and the entire Japanese air force has been beaten down.Including transport aircraft, China has easily used more than [-] aircraft of various types in just over a month.

Look at the Chinese Navy again.

Usually, everyone didn't care about it, but when the Taiwan waters were cut off, more than 30 aircraft carriers were drawn out directly, 13 of which were large aircraft carriers alone, and the rest were light aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers.There are also a small number of battleships and heavy cruisers, and a large number of light cruisers and destroyers, as well as submarine forces.These forces alone are stronger than the rest of Japan's navy.

When attacking South Sakhalin and the South Kuril Islands, China sent 6 aircraft carriers, 3 heavy cruisers, 7 light cruisers, 14 destroyers, 21 escort destroyers, 80 submarines and 300 ships. Various transport ships.

Not to mention the South China Sea Fleet, when it participated in the blockade of Malaysia, it dispatched more than 20 aircraft carriers.As well as 3000-ton destroyers equivalent to European and American light cruisers, more than 150 ships were directly pulled out, blocking the connection between Malaysia, Indonesia, and Kalimantan.Joining with China's naval forces in Sumatra, the scale has increased by one third.

However, China has pulled out so many naval forces, but Suzuki Kantaro is not sure that this is already China's entire family property.Everyone has been fighting these years, only China has been accumulating strength.

China's annual military expenditure is more than six times that of Japan. With such a large investment, plus China has not yet fought a war, it has been saving money.Therefore, Suzuki Kantaro did not underestimate China's strength at all.

Suzuki Kantaro judged very clearly.Britain and the United States are always thousands of miles away, but China is fighting at home, and there are a lot of younger brothers waving the flag and shouting.If Japan really makes peace with Britain and the United States alone, who knows what China will choose.

China is no white rabbit.

Suzuki Kantaro has already seen it.

From the "Ili Declaration" announced by China, the United States and the United Kingdom, it can be found that the post-war Asian territory is in the hands of the Chinese.Therefore, Suzuki Kantaro rejected the request of the United States to negotiate alone and continued to negotiate with China.Of course, Suzuki Kantaro was relieved at this time.

Because he understands that Britain and the United States are now eager to end the war in the Far East, which provides a very good opportunity for Japan to end the war decently.Britain and the United States will not demand too much from Japan.So he stepped up negotiations with China.

But Japan's refusal to negotiate angered the United States.

The United States began the long-prepared Philippine campaign.

In order to quickly solve the Philippines, the United States gathered 41 aircraft carriers, 14 battleships, 33 cruisers, 187 destroyers, 79 submarines, more than 1400 various landing ships and transport ships, and gathered 38 army troops.There is also the Army Air Force and the Australian Air Force, which add up to more than 3800 combat aircraft.

In addition to the U.S. military, there are also 22 Australian Army troops.

The U.S. Army, the Australian Army, and the Army add up to 60 people.There are more troops than Japan in the Philippines, and even the militias in the Philippines are added up, and the number is smaller than that of the US military.

After various landing operations over the years, the United States has become more and more experienced in this area.

The U.S. military's approach was to first dispatch a large number of aviation troops to bombard the Japanese airport in the Philippines indiscriminately.Moreover, in order to prevent the support of Japanese air forces in other regions, the US air force also carried out violent bombing of Japanese airfields in Kalimantan, Okinawa, and Taiwan.

In about three days or so, the U.S. military used its powerful aviation power to gain air supremacy in the Philippines.

On August 1944, 8, U.S. troops began to land on Wright Island.After gaining enough experience, the U.S. air force, naval force, and landing force cooperated closely, and 31 troops landed in just half a day.

Occupied Wright Island 24 kilometers wide and 17 kilometers deep.Afterwards, under the cover of the aviation unit, the U.S. army quickly advanced, and broke through several Japanese defense lines that day.On the day the U.S. Army landed, the 35th Army of the Japanese Army made a lot of counterattacks, but the effect was poor, and they suffered heavy losses.More than 3 people were killed or injured in one day.

Fortunately, the Japanese quickly supported Wright Island.

Including Japanese naval forces in the Philippines also supported. On September 1944, 9, the famous Wright Gulf naval battle took place between the U.S. Pacific Fleet and the Second Fleet, Third Fleet, and Fifth Fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

After this battle, Japan's few remaining naval assets were completely lost.

美军仅仅以4艘航母和7艘驱逐舰，300架左右的飞机代价，击沉了日军6艘航空母舰、4艘战列舰、8艘重巡洋舰、6艘轻巡洋舰、19艘驱逐舰、12艘潜艇，以及损失了600多架飞机。日本在东南亚的海军部队，至此基本上损失殆尽。

Of course this is not the end.

In this battle, many Japanese aircraft carriers, battleships, and heavy cruisers were seriously injured. On the way back, they were attacked by American submarine forces and lost a large number of warships again.Just on the way back, 3 battleships were sunk, 4 heavy cruisers were sunk, and some other warships were sunk even more.

Soon Wright Island became the site of a meat grinder for both the United States and Japan.

Both the United States and Japan are constantly increasing their troops.The landing speed of the US troops was getting faster and faster, and the number of landing troops reached 4 within 26 days.The Japanese army is also increasing support, but the total number is only about 12.

In fact, at this time, the Japanese army could only resist tenaciously, and there was no other way.The Japanese army used special attack aircraft and special attack boats to attack the US warships and transport ships, causing great casualties to the US military.

Within a few days, two aircraft carriers were sunk by such suicidal Japanese attacks.

The United States is also ruthless at this time.

More and more troops began to participate in the Philippine campaign, and the United States began to divide its troops to attack Luzon Island.The U.S. military concentrated more and more aircraft. When it came time to attack Luzon Island, the U.S. military put more than [-] combat aircraft and transport aircraft into the Philippine campaign.

Casualties increased, and the U.S. military asked China to increase its attack on the Japanese army.

In order to cope with the US military and to put pressure on Japan, on September 1944, 9, a week after the end of the Malaysian campaign, China organized troops to attack Jakarta, the largest city in the Republic of Indonesia.
