    Countries such as the United States and Britain did not believe it at first. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is worrying. Moreover, in the eyes of the United States, Britain and other countries, the Chinese army likes to falsify military achievements. Many of the news they release are full of water.

    But it can¡¯t be true. When the evidence was placed before the United States, Britain and other countries, they quickly became happy and extended olive branches to the National Government one after another!

    There is no way. At this time, Japan's ambitions in Asia scare everyone. In addition, Japan's allies are winning successively in Europe. Everyone is worried that the Japanese will take action against themselves. If the Chinese can contain Japan,  , that is the best.

    In particular, Japan took advantage of the capture of Hankou to issue a so-called statement on building a new order in East Asia on November 3, 1978.  The main point of this statement is: "If the Nationalist Government can abandon its previous guiding policies, change its personnel arrangements, truly move toward rebirth, and come to participate in the construction of a new order, it will never refuse it."

    Although this statement was mainly directed at the Nationalist Government, it also highlighted Japan's strong determination to build a new order in East Asia and strongly stimulated the British and American countries.

    In response, the United States immediately responded and made suggestions to Japan.  Its content is nothing more than a requirement to abide by the principles of an open door and equal opportunities to China in accordance with the spirit of the nine-nation treaty, and to respect the rights and interests of the United States in China in accordance with the peacetime principles mentioned above.

    "However, when the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to this, it was impossible to follow the wishes of the United States and Britain. From then on, the policies of the United States, Britain and other countries to aid Chiang and fight against Japan actually became concrete.  First, the United States provided 25 million U.S. dollars, and the United Kingdom provided a loan of 10 million pounds to aid Chiang. On January 14, 1939, Britain, the United States, and France jointly proposed to Japan that they would not recognize the new order in East Asia. Then the Council of the League of Nations also  The resolution to aid Chiang was passed.

    But as previously feared, the United States, Britain and other countries are willing to assist China, but can the Nationalist Government hold back Japan?

    In fact, the heads of state have no idea about this issue. The main reason is that the performance of the Chinese army on the battlefield is so bad. In less than three years, the Chinese government lost one-third of its troops to Japan.  of the country's land area, more than half of the country's major cities fell into Japanese hands.

    Once Chongqing is also occupied by the Japanese army, will the Nationalist Government just surrender?

    More importantly, with the support of the Japanese, the guy named Wang re-established a team in Nanjing. That guy was the second-ranking figure in the National Government and had huge influence. Now this new puppet regime is developing rapidly, and its influence is huge.  The tentacles have extended to all aspects of the Japanese-occupied areas.

    The United States, Britain, France and other countries are also worried that one day the puppet regime will replace Chiang Kai-shek's regime!

    Once such a thing becomes a fact, the huge amount of money you invested in the early and late stages will really be in vain. The new regime will never recognize these debts, just like the National Government will not recognize the debts signed during the Qing Dynasty.  Like a treaty of equality.

    Because of this, although many people, including Roosevelt, sympathized with the Chinese and were willing to help the Chinese, some bills were delayed in passing.

    But this time, first the Chinese army wiped out an entire Japanese field division on the Shandong battlefield, and then it was revealed that the Chinese army had captured thousands of Japanese soldiers on the battlefield. This made the international community realize that the Chinese army is not invincible.  One hit.

    It is very commendable that they were able to block the joint attack of the Japanese army, land, sea and air at a huge disadvantage!  Moreover, from the outbreak of the war to the present, the Chinese government has been desperately persisting and has no intention of surrendering.

    This allowed the governments of the United States, Britain, France and other countries to see the possibility of investing in China. Therefore, the United States, Britain and other countries quickly responded and extended an olive branch to the National Government.

    The United States, which had basically remained silent after the outbreak of the war, first intensified its exchanges with the Nationalist Government, and then suddenly notified Japan that it would abrogate the Japan-U.S. Treaty of Commerce and Navigation.  This was really a bolt from the blue for Japan. In the eyes of the Japanese, the U.S. policy of aiding Chiang Kai-shek and anti-Japanese policy became more and more explicit.

    This matter has also caused a huge disturbance in Japan. Although Japan has very strict control over public opinion, such a major matter cannot be hidden. After all, all countries in the world are discussing this matter, except Japan.  Newspapers from all over the world reprinted this article from the Central News Agency of the National Government.

    Soon, some gossip began to spread in Japan, and then some tabloids began to publish the article that embarrassed the Japanese army!

    Within a few days, the entire Japanese mainland knew about this matter. The people's attitude towards this matter was very angry. It is not impossible that the Imperial Japanese Army could fail.??, but you can't lose so inexplicably or in a confused way.

    "The people in the country know nothing and have no news at all. Thousands of people have been captured on the Chinese battlefield. This is simply ridiculous!"

    Not only the people feel absurd, but also Japanese Prime Minister General Mitsumasa Yoneuchi!

    Especially since the outbreak of the war, Japan's economy has collapsed rapidly and is now on the verge of total collapse. Most of the domestic labor force has either been involved in the war or is producing weapons and equipment for the war. More and more people are used in agricultural production.  Few, and most of them are women and children.

    "In terms of industry, there is also a strong shift towards military and heavy industry. The proportion of civilian light industry is getting smaller and smaller. This will inevitably lead to higher and higher prices for some daily necessities, and people's income and expenditure are seriously disproportionate.

    The final result is serious, that is, the people's living standards have dropped rapidly, even falling behind when the economic crisis was at its worst a few years ago.

    A few years ago, the Japanese people still had very high requirements for life. At least when it came to eating, they not only needed to be full, but also wanted to eat well. Even ordinary people would not eat brown rice. Most people ate only brown rice.  It is domestically produced polished rice.

    But now, due to difficulties in food production, Japan is no longer able to meet the food supply of the local people, let alone provide food for the front line. Therefore, the soldiers on the front line are not allowed to raise food by themselves.

    As for the needs of the domestic people, the Japanese government can only import food from other countries, such as India (Vietnam) and Thailand and other major food-producing countries. On the other hand, it can implement a rationing system domestically and supply on a per capita basis.  food.

    As a result, the living standards of the Japanese people have plummeted. Don¡¯t talk about poor quality. It¡¯s good to be able to eat enough.

    Most people are tightening their belts to support the government, and the only belief that supports them is the continuous victory of the frontline troops. However, under such circumstances, the frontline troops were wiped out and a division was wiped out, and a large number of soldiers were captured.  Thousands of people, this kind of blow would be catastrophic to the Japanese people.

    In this case, people¡¯s dissatisfaction finally broke out.

    Soon, in Tokyo, Nagoya and other places, the Japanese people launched massive demonstrations, demanding the government to come forward to explain this matter.

    This incident quickly alarmed the Emperor of Japan. After all, demonstrations are very uncommon in Japan, but once they break out, no politician dares to underestimate them.

    Under tremendous pressure, General Shunroku Hata, then Minister of War, submitted his resignation to the headquarters and the emperor alone. As a result, the Yonei cabinet, which had just been formed less than half a year ago, was forced to resign in its entirety.

    Prime Minister Minei once asked the Army to recommend a candidate to succeed the Army Minister, but the Army refused on the pretext that it was difficult to propose a candidate to succeed the Army Minister based on the opinions of the so-called three-chief meeting of the Army Minister, the Chief of Staff and the Director of Education.

    In the view of Mitsumasa Yoneuchi and others, this approach of the Army is completely using the active-duty military attache system as a shield to interfere in politics, and has therefore been attacked by public opinion.

    No one expected that just because of the failure of the 17th Division in the Shandong battlefield and the Nationalist Government's acceptance of thousands of Japanese prisoners, it would lead to the collapse of the Japanese cabinet. This was the second collapse of the Japanese cabinet this year.

    When the news came back to China, the Chinese people, who had suffered in silence for several months, were immediately overjoyed. People in major cities in the rear took to the streets one after another to hold victory parades.

    Led by some anti-Japanese groups, ordinary people generously donated money and materials, and devoted themselves to this national war. China once again set off a new upsurge of anti-Japanese resistance.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
