Chapter 1496: Japan joins the war
Even if Alaska is a poisonous bait, the Japanese will swallow them. Japan's desire for land has been deeply engraved in their bones. This is the sorrow of the island country. There is not enough land, there is not enough resources, and everything depends on others. This is also the reason why Japan has been supported by the UK in the past few decades, because they cannot make a fortune. When they develop to a certain extent, they are also seeking breakthroughs. They always stay on the island and cannot develop.
The world's largest country is Britain, which is the superpower, but Britain's experience cannot be copied. At the limit, Britain has the largest and most extensive colony in the world. Such a huge colony supports the development of Britain, and they are not short of anything.
Britain has always claimed that they used the British Isles to create a glorious empire of the Sun Never Settings. This sentence is not right. Without the support of a huge colony, the British Isles could not be so rich. The colonies not only provided Britain with enough manpower, resources, and cheap materials, but also a vast market. Although Britain did not spend much effort in the colony, its huge territory, a large population, even simple consumption, could create a huge market.
Just like China before 1908, more than 90% of the people in China were in extreme poverty, some of which were not even full of food. A little famine would be a little empty, or even a person could eat. However, as long as they could pass a little, they also had purchasing power. With a tiny amount of people, 500 million people were also a huge expense. In the early 20th century, Britain sold hundreds of millions of grey cloth in China every year, which was an unimaginable huge number.
Because of this, it was successful and failed to become colonies. Although Britain controlled the huge colonies, it did not localize the colonies and directly regulated them. In this way, the cost was small, but there were endless troubles. After World War II, Britain was once again weakened, and the control of the Commonwealth was greatly reduced. Canada, South Africa, and Australia successively became independent, and the national liberation of the remaining India and Africa was also rising. After these colonies were lost, Britain also lost the hope of its final rise. The two superpowers in later generations, the United States and Russia, had huge populations and territories. Otherwise, technology and other aspects would not be able to develop at all.
The backward Japan and Germany all face this problem. Germany is a little better. If there is enough land, Japan will have no choice in the European continent. This is also the inevitable reason for the outbreak of World War II, because they all want to seek breakthroughs and become superpowers and must rely on war to gain status.
Now, China is not just drawing a big pie casually, but has come up with practical and feasible methods and established a combat plan for Japan. The first batch of 60 divisions and 1.5 million people were used as the first batch of troops. In fact, they have not had many combat tasks, but the first batch of landings have relatively difficult conditions, and the mortality rate of ordinary civilians will be quite high. Japan has not regarded people as human beings because of traditional relationships. However, after seeing the huge power of China's population, Japan has also begun to retain it. It does not have enough population and occupy large territories and cannot play the role of these territories.
This part of the army will land on the Aleutian Islands under the cover of the Chinese fleet. As an area extending to the Pacific Ocean by Alaska, it can be said to be very vast, with a total length of more than 1,900 kilometers, and even extending to the Kamchatka Peninsula located in Siberia, Asia.
Japan is not far from the Aleutian Islands. The distance of more than 3,000 kilometers is not a very long voyage for Japan, not to mention that for China, the largest shipping country in the world, the voyage from China to Australia is shorter than the voyage from Japan to Alaska, not to mention that along the way, there are various islands as the basis for this area from Sakhalin to the Aleutian Islands.
In China's plan, when the severe winter came, a relatively complete base was established in the Aleutian Islands. In the spring of 1917, it landed in Alaska. With less than half a year, it occupied most of Alaska's territory and began to immigrate. Japan was preparing to immigrate to Alaska in a storm of 20 million to 30 million people, accounting for almost half of Japan's current total population. This is a very big decision, and it has almost determined that Japan will be in Alaska in the future.
Japan has made great efforts to make it very clear. If this land is occupied, it will become the foundation of Japan. Unlike other places, the local population occupies the main body. Alaska has a sparse population of 1.7 million square kilometers of land, less than 1 million people, and an average of less than one person per square kilometer. Such a huge land is simply a paradise given by God.
Even China has not only armed Japan, but just sent them to the island. There is also a complete plan for Alaska, which is various constructions supported by China. Although Japan has no money on hand, China will use various resources to deduct them, and the prices are quite affordable, which is equivalent to giving Japan a completely effortless choice.
In this way, China and Japan signed a secret agreement, and Japan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The previous situation was the most dangerous. Without reaching an agreement with China, it was delayed in paying funds to the Allied countries. Now there is no need to negotiate with Europe and the United States. Among the national debts and daily debts owed by Japan are not paid when they expire, but a certain amount of funds will be paid every once in a while. Because Japan is tying up to join the Chinese camp, Japan does not want to pay, and has not yet agreed to it with China. If it offends the Allied countries, it will be self-destructive. Japan can only circle around and apply for an extension. Every time, diplomats have tried their best, and even incurred some expenses and paid a certain amount of interest. The extension is not possible at any time. For Britain, France and the United States, it is time for financial tension and it is almost difficult to obtain approval.
The United States is still very rich. Even if it uses the lease bill to support the entire Allied Powers, there is a free time to support Japan. However, now the United States has suffered a blow, and Wall Street, Panama, and even more than a dozen ports have been hit. In this case, the Americans will of course shrink their funds to fight against possible problems in the future, because only battleships are used to deal with battleships. They will start a huge and important shipbuilding plan in the next time. This requires a massive amount of funds. How can they have the time to manage Japan? The most powerful thing that is forced by Japan is the United States. Among the tens of billions of foreign debts and national debts in the United States, the United States is even unwilling to let Japan pay interest, but requires Japan to repay part of the principal and interest, which makes Japan quite nervous.
Finally, Japan joined China's camp with justification, and took advantage of the situation to launch the Allies and the Allies. This news was sent directly to all parts of the world in public telegrams. At the same time, the optical cables connected to Japan and other countries were physically cut off by Japan. Other countries sent to Japan can continue to spread through translation, but it is impossible to transfer through Japan.
Although it is nothing to do this for Britain, France and the United States. After all, they have more than one optical cable, and the earth is round, and it can still be transmitted from another semicircle. However, the United States and Russia, and some relatively remote optical cables have actually been cut off, which has a huge impact on the world.
Japan's joining the camp of the Allies suddenly caused an uproar in the world. Compared with the shock caused by Italy's withdrawal from the Allies, Japan is even greater. As early as 10 years ago, when Japan defeated Russia, Japan had become a world power second to Britain, France, Germany, the United States and Russia. On the premise that China essentially joined the war, Japan became the best pawn to restrain China. Now this pawn is actually combined with the object he restrains. This is not one plus one equals two for the world pattern, it is a huge fluctuation.
In the eyes of the Americans, Japan seems to have no reason not to oppose China. The geographical and past hatred between China and Japan are enough to cause a war between China and Japan to break out. This is also the fundamental reason why Japan is about to collapse and fight to the death at the most dangerous moment of Japan. However, this is useless. The Japanese know more than him. China's vast civilization, Japan is the witness and bystanders. They join the Chinese camp like lightning, declare war on countries around the world, and correct their attitude.
If it is just a declaration of war, it only means that the United States lacks a piece and the situation in Asia has collapsed. The United States has not intended to let the Japanese do anything. However, the Japanese shamelessly declared that because the two sides were in a war relationship, they not only abolished all debts between the hostile countries and began to confiscate property belonging to the Allies.
This is a killer weapon. Even if China takes back the hands of the concessions and other places, it adopts the method of redemption for ordinary citizens' property and some clear property. However, Japan is now in an absolute financial crisis and confiscated without any scruples. What does this mean? This means that the United States will suffer heavy losses in this time, and even the impact of confiscation of property is on the debt problem. This move is so powerful that it is even before the United States attacks China. At that time, more than 10 billion US dollars of funds were confiscated on the huge land of more than 9 million square kilometers of land in the United States. However, the United States' investment in Japan is very concentrated, and the confiscated property is very large. (~^~)
