Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1551: Change of flag in Indonesia

The mighty Japanese Western Expeditionary Fleet suddenly appeared in the Philippine Sea, and the most nervous was the United States.The United States gained control of the Philippines after driving out the Spaniards in 1898, and the Philippines has since become the largest colony of the United States in South Asia.Americans regard the Philippines as their South Asian garden and naturally do not allow others to get involved.On the day Pishe's shipping company reported the Discovery Day fleet to the U.S. government, U.S. Secretary of State Dean?Rusk summoned the Japanese ambassador to the United States and former Japanese Admiral Yoshizaburo Nomura.

The reason why Yoshizaburo Nomura was appointed as Japan's plenipotentiary representative to the United States during the sensitive period of Japan-US relations was because he was one of the few American-friendly and pro-American factions in Japan's diplomatic circles, and he had a close relationship with US President Roosevelt and a large number of political circles. VIPs have good personal relationships.Ironically, before the war between Japan and the United States, the Americans actually evaluated him as "the ambassador of Japan——General Yoshisaburo Nomura, who is kind-hearted, sincere, and without treachery."

Nomura came here with a special mission, and he was so "kind-hearted, sincere, and without treachery" that he won the favor of the people of the United States. What he said, even if it was a lie, fell into Dean's ears , but it is not too difficult to accept. "How could Japan go to war with your country? Your country's Pacific Fleet is the most powerful naval fleet in the world today. Your Excellency, you really misunderstood. The Imperial Royal Navy suddenly appeared in the Philippine Sea just to respond to the German government's call to attack the Netherlands. It is only the use of troops in the East India. Your Excellency, you know that the empire’s oil was originally completely dependent on your country, but your country listened to the one-sided words of some rogue countries and imposed an embargo on Japan. Your Excellency, our country has no choice but to use troops in the Indian Ocean Which one to choose! Please rest assured that our country will not endanger your country's interests in South Asia. If your government is not at ease, you can dispatch a military delegation to act with our fleet..."

Yoshizaburo Nomura was wrangling with the U.S. government in Washington. Under the command of Yamamoto 56, the Japanese Western Expeditionary Fleet entered the Maluku Sea under the slogan of expelling the Dutch colonists and liberating Indonesia. Landing, but what is disappointing is that the army of the Dutch East Indies did not even have the courage to fight the Japanese army head-on.As pointed out by the Japanese army, the Dutch army fled frantically, which directly led to a miracle. The Japanese occupied Sulawesi almost without firing a single shot, and it took only five days.

And once Sulawesi, an island in the center of Indonesia known as the "country of a thousand islands", is captured by the Japanese army, the subsequent situation will be completely out of the control of the Dutch colonial government.The Indonesian Independence Army on large islands such as Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Java moved upon hearing the news. The submissive Indonesian monkeys in the minds of the Dutch colonists suddenly turned into man-eating beasts. As a result, the Japanese army did not take action. The military stronghold was besieged by the locals. In the end, it lasted less than two weeks before they had to abandon all the military fortresses and large towns, and fled to the American Philippines and French Indochina in desperation. shelter.

As of September 9, the Japanese Marine Corps and the so-called Indonesian Independence Army under its control took over all the military strongholds and fortresses of the Dutch colonial government in Indonesia. On the 14th, Yamamoto 15 sent a telegram to the world in the name of the Second Republic of Indonesia, claiming that Indonesia would be independent and would accept the protection of the Japanese army.

When the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar all over the world.On the same day, the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, French Indochina, Canada, Australia, and China sent telegrams to condemn the atrocities committed by the Japanese army. Among them, the British and French Indochina responded most violently. The British government even stated that in order to protect the world Peace, if Japan does not withdraw its troops from Indonesia, it will not hesitate to send an expeditionary force into the Far East.

In Guangzhou, in the communications room of the General Headquarters of the Xuebing Army, the communications staff of the General Headquarters translated a copy of these telegrams and sent them to the Commander-in-Chief's office.Ouyang Yun was very busy during this time, and his mind was full of worries.Because it was determined that the Japanese army would definitely launch an attack from Hanoi to Guangxi in the near future, what he, Li Tieshu, Ji Xingwen and others thought about most during this period was how to enter Guangxi openly to make up for the defensive vacuum in the area.

Be it the Netherlands, France, or the UK, Ouyang Yun doesn't have a good bird in his heart.Japan's Indian Ocean strategy is high-based on the understanding of that time and space history, he can better understand the benefits and conveniences this strategy brings to Japan.Not to mention Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and the Philippines, even if Japan only captures Indonesia, its hidden worry of insufficient strategic resources can be completely resolved.He even thought that if the Japanese were willing to lie dormant for two or three years, then they might not have the capital to challenge the United States.

Of course, since Japan has already entered the Indian Ocean, it is absolutely impossible to just want to attack an Indonesia.Next, the first to suffer should be British Malaysia.After Malaysia, it was French Indochina's turn.Once French Indochina becomes Japan's territory, the next target will naturally be Guangxi and Hainan Island.

After reading all the telegrams condemning the Japanese government, Ouyang Yun rang the electric bell at the door.

Pan Meiren opened the door and walked in, holding a purple sand teapot in her hand, and said, "Brother? The freshly brewed tea, don't wait for it to cool any longer."

Ouyang Yun tapped the table with two middle fingers of his right hand, and asked, "Is there any new news from Mu Jiandie? How are things going for those British and French people?"

Pan Meiren shook her head.

"Let him take the initiative to contact them. The British want to save face, and the French are completely out of control. Of course, there is another possibility. They don't look down on us at all."

"Okay, I'll contact Chongqing right away."

It took only two weeks for the Japanese to capture Indonesia and immediately set up a puppet government. This was only a hidden worry for China and the Xuebing Army, but it was a naked threat to Britain and French Indochina.France has been defeated by Germany and a puppet regime has been established.Hitler put pressure on French Indochina through the Vichy government, but the colonial government of Indochina did not recognize the Vichy government.Now, the German-Japanese-Italian alliance is well known.France was defeated and Britain was resisting German aggression. Japan, as a military ally of Germany, would definitely use troops against Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos and other places after capturing Indonesia.The Japanese came in menacingly, and the British and French felt that they were invincible, so they had no choice but to beg the Chongqing government, hoping that the three parties would form an alliance to defend against the enemy.
