The Pacific War also kicked off.
The Japanese army¡¯s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was definitely a clever move.
They successfully defeated the main force of the U.S. Navy in the Pacific. In the next six months, the U.S. Navy will be unable to play any role in the Pacific region.
Not only that, without the intervention of the United States, the Japanese army was even more powerful in Southeast Asia. Not only did they occupy large tracts of land, but they also plundered countless resources.
As for the British troops in Southeast Asia, they basically just retreated, retreated, and retreated again.
The combat effectiveness of the British Army is impressive, although it has hundreds of thousands of troops in Southeast Asia. And it has better equipment than the Japanese army.
But in the war that lasted for several years, what the British Army demonstrated was its excellent escape ability. rather than the martial spirit possessed by his ancestors.
The news that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the United States declared war on it detonated international public opinion the next day.
The happiest people were, of course, the Nationalist Government, which was fighting the Japanese army in the Far East, and the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, which were fighting bloody battles with the Germans in Europe.
¡°In the past, the relationship between Americans, Germans, and even Japanese was relatively ambiguous.
Because although the Americans are on the side of the Allies, in fact, they secretly have many transactions with the Japanese and Germans.
The simplest thing is that before Pearl Harbor, Americans had been selling aviation kerosene to Japan. These oil resources are in short supply in Japan.
Among the Japanese aircraft that bombed Chongqing, the fuel in the fuel tanks may have been purchased from an oil company in the United States.
But now the Japanese have control over Southeast Asia and even the entire Pacific Rim, and they are brazenly declaring war on the Americans.
¡°The Americans who have been watching the fire from across the bank, intending to reap the benefits, have also been pulled into the water. They also had to declare war on the Axis forces at this time.
Declaring war is not just a matter of words. What it represents is that the entire American industrial machinery, personnel and materials, etc., will all be used for war.
This country ranked first in industrial output in the world at that time. After their large number of factories and enterprises turned to military production, the Japanese will soon realize that the strength of comprehensive national power represents the strength of the entire country.
The poor industry of the Japanese army is like a newborn baby in front of the powerful American industrial system.
At this time, the Japanese were still unable to understand this gap.
Among the top brass of the Japanese army, after the successful attack on Pearl Harbor, many of them optimistically concluded that the balance of victory in this war had tilted to their side.
They only need to deal a heavy blow to the Americans in a short period of time to force the Americans to the negotiating table. Then at the negotiating table, they, who have the upper hand, will do their best to fight for their interests in the Pacific region.
It¡¯s just like the decision they made when they occupied the three eastern provinces a few years ago.
When they occupied the three eastern provinces, they only had tens of thousands of troops.
Originally, the Japanese troops were just trying their luck, and this was not even the final decision of the Japanese base camp.
But they did not expect that the hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops would not resist and chose to withdraw to the pass. As for the Nanjing Nationalist Government at that time, it chose to negotiate with the Japanese army.
The result of the negotiations was that the three northeastern provinces were directly ceded. The Japanese combat troops were stationed directly near Peiping.
Everyone can see that the Japanese negotiated at that time just because they still needed time to digest such a piece of fat that they had just swallowed.
But unfortunately, the senior officials of the National Government couldn¡¯t see it. Not only did he not choose to fight back hard, but he chose to compromise.
So a few years later, Peiping and Tianjin were lost again during the "July 7th Incident". Then the Japanese negotiated with the Nanjing National Government. The most ridiculous thing is that the National Government at that time actually went to negotiate.
Only this time, the top brass of the Japanese army made a wrong calculation.
Because the U.S. government at this time is not the weak Nanjing National Government. And their President Roosevelt was not Chiang Kai-shek.
News of the war between the United States and Japan reached the grasslands of Chahar through high-power radio stations.
Next to the radio, the American pilots recruited by Xia Yang sat in a group.
Amidst the buzzing sound of the radio waves, the voice of their President Roosevelt came from the radio.
¡°Yesterday, December 7, 1941, will become our country¡¯s day of national humiliation.
The United States of America suffered a premeditated surprise attack by the Japanese Empire, Navy and Air Force.
Not only that, yesterday, the Japanese government also launched its hopes for Malaysia.
Last night Japanese troops attacked Hong Kong.
Last night, Japanese troops attacked Guam, the Philippine Islands, Wake Island, and Midway Island.
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
We believe that our army and our people have extremely firm determination.
Therefore, victory must belong to us. May God bless us.
"I ask Congress to declare that the United States and Japan are in a state of war because of Japan's baseless and baseless hopes against our country on Sunday, December 7, 1941. "
Roosevelt¡¯s voice was not loud, but it sounded extremely firm, echoing in the room.
When those American pilots heard that their motherland had suffered such an attack, most of the expressions on their faces were extremely indignant.
Wilson looked at Xia Yang who was drinking tea not far away in great surprise, and asked in a low voice: "General, you you are right, the Japanese have indeed become our common enemy."
Xia Yang smiled and said, "Now, we are no longer a boss and employee."
"What's the relationship?" Wilson asked.
Xia Yang grabbed his hand and said, "Of course we are comrades in arms!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
