Chapter 1931 Variables
Although the decisive action of the Xuebing Army failed to completely change the situation in the Philippines, it at least gave the US-Philippines coalition forces in Manila a chance to breathe.This also played a certain role in promoting the establishment of the Far East Allied Command. Therefore, when Wavell visited Karachi, the establishment of the Far East Allied Command in the Philippines was put on the agenda.The British actually have no choice in this matter. First, because they have to rely on the United States to provide military supplies to maintain the European front, they can only follow the Americans all the way to the dark; second, the so-called Far East Allied Command does not need the United Kingdom. Take on any responsibility, so they can be happy with what they have achieved.Of course, even so, because they felt threatened by the Xuebing Army, the British still complained a lot in private. It's getting more domineering.

Wavell came here under the banner of representing the British government to congratulate Mr. Ouyang Yun and Miss Luhanni on their engagement, which naturally meant material things.The British were also generous this time, and the value of the gift was as high as 50 US dollars.The real purpose of the British is still to go to the production line of the baiji dolphin, and proposed that if the school and the army are unable to provide the entire production line, they can also send technology to help the British government build an aircraft factory in India.In addition, Wavell also made a small request by the way, hoping that Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Yun can exert his huge influence in Southeast Asia, let the Thai government send troops to contain the Japanese troops, and help the Indian and British troops relieve the pressure.The requirement was very small, but Wavell's offer was not low. Ouyang Yun's heart was really moved when he issued a list of oil fields, mines, pounds, and dollars.

While the Japanese-Western Expeditionary Fleet used troops against the Philippine Islands, it did not relax its offensive against Myanmar and Bangladesh. The war in Myanmar was blazing again after a hiatus of more than a month.The Japanese also learned to behave well this time. They were not in a hurry to march deep into Burma. Instead, they avoided the Naypyidaw line of defense established by Chu Tiange's first soldier expedition army, and instead advanced westward along the coast of the Bay of Bengal. First, without the flank support of the Xuebing Army, the British and Indian armies were unable to support each other. After the rout of Prome, there was another rout of Xidu Daiya, a rout of [-] kilometers, relying on the strong fortifications of Chittagong , this stabilized the position.

The war has been corrupted to such an extent, and Wavell is self-aware. He knows that it is impossible to ask the apprentice army for help.So he lowered the requirements and put the treasure on the Thais, hoping that Ouyang Yun could display the spirit of a dead friend who is not dead and poor, and make a small sacrifice of Thailand, so as to attract the Japanese army to visit.

Since the Japanese army entered Southeast Asia, under the slogan of expelling Western colonists, seeking Asian independence, and establishing an imperial circle, they have attacked traditional Western powers from all directions, but they have been able to exercise restraint and restraint against their former ally Thailand, which has turned back on its promises. It’s not that the Japanese still care about the old friendship with the Thais, it’s because the First Army of the Expeditionary Academy has maintained a military presence in the Bangkok area, and the French Restoration Army in Amboss has also adopted an unprecedentedly tough posture after completing the reorganization training. Appearing in the territory of Thailand, the Japanese learned a lot of wisdom and judged the situation. They felt that it would be better to beat the Indian British army, the lagging dog, than to fall into a situation where they were beaten by the Xuebing Army, the French Restoration Army, and the Thai army when they attacked Thailand.That's why there is such a strange scene. Japan and Thailand have clearly turned their faces into enemies, but they still seem to maintain an ambiguous relationship. On the one hand, the Thais are indifferent to the Japanese still occupying a large area of ​​their own land; on the other hand, the Japanese ignore The covetous Thai armed forces strictly ordered the Indonesian and Malay retinues to exercise restraint and refrain from taking the initiative to provoke. They just marched all the way to the northwest——

During the battle between Japan and Britain in Burma and Bangladesh, the Xuebing Army had spies to monitor, and Ouyang Yun could also know the latest battle situation at the first time.Realizing that the ultimate goal of the Japanese westward march might be Chittagong, he was no longer ready to ignore it, and just as the British offered such generous terms wisely, he felt that it was still necessary to give the British a hand.Of course, considering that Thailand's military strength is too weak, and if it goes to war with Japan, it will only increase the burden on the student army. After careful consideration, he decided that it would be more appropriate to let Chu Tiange and Ang Bosi take the lead.

Several consecutive successful air strikes have already provoked the Japanese to be furious. It is undoubtedly better to add fuel to the fire and make them want to die. Gain time for the growth of the Pacific Fleet; Ang Boss is determined to fight back to Europe. He mentioned more than once that the most lacking of the National Restoration Army is actual combat. He hopes to send one or two divisions as a volunteer army to help the students The army stabilized the defense line of Naypyidaw... Ouyang Yun was thinking like this, and he made up his mind. On the surface, the cloud became calmer and calmer, and he thought about him, which made Wavell more worried about gains and losses. He didn't know the heart of the extremely black-bellied young Chinese What is the bottom line.

What is Ouyang Yun's bottom line?Still related to the ship.But this time the conditions he proposed were not too difficult for the British to accept.He doesn't need oil fields, mines, pounds, or dollars, but he needs the UK to convert them into steel plates of equivalent value.The British already have several modern steel factories in India, and it is not difficult for them to achieve this condition.

Wavell didn't dare to be good at it, so he asked London for advice.And as Ouyang Yun expected, London gave an affirmative answer in seconds.So, after the two parties signed a related contract, Wavell left Karachi with satisfaction.

In Tokyo, Japan, the destruction of the Hosho aircraft carrier fleet and the destruction of Soma Masamune, as Koizumi predicted, really gave Hideki Tojo the opportunity to counter the navy at the military headquarters.The old devil pointed out with a sad face: in the past, it is now, and it will still be in the future. If you want to realize His Majesty's great cause of establishing a military circle, you will definitely need a lot of sacrifices, but this kind of sacrifice must be based on a valuable foundation-the total population of the empire is only 7000 million, how can you allow your navy to be so profligate?I strongly demand that our army dominate the next war in the Philippines.I admit that Koizumi-kun is a genius in some aspects, but this does not mean that he is omnipotent——Yamamoto-kun, the cruel facts tell us that Koizumi-kun is still too young...

Hideki Tojo, a guy who never takes the lives of soldiers seriously, actually made a big deal out of it, but he was caught by him. Yamamoto 56 was speechless, his face paled with anger, and he almost lost his blood on the spot. .

For Yamamoto 56, this short period of two months has been full of ups and downs.The victory at Pearl Harbor made his popularity almost reach a height that no one can match.However, in the next moment, several huge waves hit him one after another, and the fruits of Pearl Harbor's victory were swept away, not to mention, and he fell with a black nose and a swollen eye.Next, capturing MacArthur could have allowed him to regain the initiative, but damn it, before the initiative warmed up in his palms, MacArthur was actually rescued by the student army.This is not over yet, and it didn't take long, and the unimaginable thing that the entire Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet was wiped out happened, and even Xiang Ma Zhengwen, who could be used as a scapegoat, was "bombed to death" He did a bad thing with good intentions. In order to highlight Soma Masamune’s lofty state of not sacrificing everything for the great cause of the military, he beautified him willing to be drowned and beautified as being bombed, but the result was that Yamamoto and Koizumi became more passive)”—— At this point, even though he was extremely unwilling, he could only give in temporarily.

It seems that after some twists and turns, the history of the Philippine war returned to the main line.I just don't know, can the Japanese take over the Philippine Islands as smoothly as in that time and space?
