In response to the US military's bombing of Japan's mainland, the Japanese base immediately reduced the front-line air force of the Army in the three eastern provinces of China and the Soviet Far East, and transferred the fighter fleet back to the local area to prevent the US military from attacking again. Considering that the People's Party's armed air superiority would further expand, the Japanese base camp finally did not mobilize the air force of the Japanese dispatched troops on the battlefield within the internal battlefield after debate.

The generals of the Navy were ashamed of the US fleet's quietly approaching the Japanese mainland and not chasing them later. Navy Command Chief Nagao Cunyi had always had different considerations about Yamamoto Iroku's suggestion to launch the Midway Battle, but now he believes Yamamoto's suggestion is very reasonable. The Japanese Navy must capture the islands in the central Pacific to expand the depth of the local defense and suppress the US Navy's range of activities in the Pacific. Otherwise, in order to prevent the US aircraft carrier from attacking the Japanese mainland again, the Japanese Navy must concentrate its efforts to conduct a comprehensive patrol of the waters around the local area. This will definitely affect Japan's investment in Southeast Asia and Australia.

With Nagano's Cultivation, two days after the Japanese base camp was attacked in Tokyo, it passed the joint fleet attack on Midway proposed by Yamamoto Iroku. It further clarified that the battle would be held in the first week of June. This closely linked the Japanese military's planned battle to capture Port Moresby, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

If Japan's maritime power can more than double, it is not impossible to carry out these three battles that are related to the overall situation. However, the Japanese army wanted to win these three battles by relying on its existing maritime power alone, but they used their troops to the extreme. This way of using troops not only makes every combat operation full of adventure, but also gives the Japanese Navy no room for maneuver in its overall strategy.

However, a series of victories from Pearl Harbor to Southeast Asia, to northern Australia and Ceylon have made the Japanese army lose their minds and do not believe that the US Pacific Fleet and other maritime forces of the allied forces will be opponents of the Japanese Navy after the main force was annihilated.

As for the fleet established by the People's Party in Shannan, which had never experienced naval battles, in the eyes of Nagano Cunshen and others, unless they can stay within the combat radius of land-based aviation forces, they will definitely not be able to compete with the Japanese joint fleet on the ocean. It should be noted that the century-old navy is not a random talk. It is not even a naval power by building a few large ships.

Stimulated by the US air strikes, the Japanese army's reaction became a little crazy and was stepping up preparations for battles beyond their own ability. However, while the United States and Britain were preparing to hold the next confrontation with the Japanese army, they also had to negotiate with the People's Party on related issues.

What the United States wants to solve is the release of Dulit and his group and the issue of establishing official relations between the two sides raised by the People's Party. The People's Party insisted that if there was no official relationship, the party would have no reason, and would not return Dulit and his group who invaded its airspace to the United States. After all, the United States is now strongly supporting the Chongqing authorities, a hostile force of the People's Party. The United States originally said that the promise of providing supplies and equipment to Shannan in the form of private trade was also gone because the Japanese Navy was rampant in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

As for Roosevelt, through what he has learned over the years, he personally does not oppose the establishment and development of official relations between the United States and the People's Party. However, because the United States has ambassador-level diplomatic relations with the Chongqing authorities, the People's Party is the largest armed force in China. If the US government rashly establishes formal official relations with the People's Party, it means that the United States interferes with China's internal affairs. This will not only interfere with the Chongqing authorities, but will also bring disadvantages to the anti-Axis Group of Counter-General under the leadership of the United States.

Now, American heroes such as Dulit have been detained by the People's Party in the name of "invasion", which provides an opportunity for the US government to develop official relations with the People's Party. Of course, whether a breakthrough can be achieved depends on whether the US government can settle Chongqing, and the People's Party's requirements cannot be excessive. Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek has requests from the United States, and the bottom line proposed by the People's Party is to establish business relations, so everything is not difficult to operate.

As for Dulit and others, although they were restricted from their freedom of movement in Shandong by the guards, they received good treatment. Even the delicious Chinese made these dozens of American men feel a little overjoyed. In addition, because of writing a series of reports about the People's Party, Althorp, who was famous in the United States, made a special trip from the northwest to Shandong to visit them and brought President Roosevelt's greetings, Dulit and others waited patiently.

Through Althorp's report, we also learned about the good reception of dozens of American warriors in Shandong. Under the influence of "public opinion" of "let the heroes return home earlier", the negotiations held by the US government with the flow with the People's Party were not obstructed in the United States.

On April 24, US Secretary of Commerce Jesse Holman Jones, who had previously rushed to Chittagong to negotiate with the People's Party, and Lin Chenglou, director of the People's Party's Shannan Construction Committee, reached an agreement on cooperation matters between the two sides, and each signed the "Memorandum of Carrying out China-Shannan) U.S. Business Cooperation" and exchanged texts.

Subsequently, Minister Jones and others who were transported to Shannan by the PKR Air Force the day before, took a seaplane to Australia via Australia. The sixteen B-25s that were driven to Shannan by PKR pilots were also disassembled and packaged with the participation of US personnel and prepared to be transported to Australia later.

Shortly after the Americans left, on April 26, as the war situation in Myanmar became increasingly difficult, British negotiator Emory and others had to sign a package of agreements after consultation with London, agree to the territorial claims of the People's Party and reach an agreement with India and the Myanmar forces on the framework issue of the two places after the war.

The signing of the British Minister of India and Myanmar on the package agreement not only marked that all the territory occupied by the British from China since the Opium War was taken back by the People's Party, but also means that to the east of the Bumalaputra River, large tracts of territory, including Chittagong and Andaman Islands, belong to China! This is the first time that China has expanded its territory in nearly three hundred years since the territory was determined during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (although the People's Party forced the Soviet Union to agree to include areas such as Tashkent, which originally belonged to China, into China's territory, the area there was too small and could not be compared with Shannan)!

When the news reached the country, in addition to the traitors who surrendered to the enemy and treason, people from all walks of life were greatly excited. Even Chiang Kai-shek was disappointed and sighed in a complicated mood: "One to avenge the national humiliation! One to avenge the national humiliation!"

Although Hong Kong, Andaman Islands, and eastern Outer Mongolia and the Far East are occupied by the Japanese army and cannot be considered truly included in China's control, the vast majority of the people believe that since the People's Party can force the Soviet Union and Britain to return the occupied Chinese territory. Then the strength of the People's Party armed with the destruction of the Japanese and the regaining lost territory is just a matter of time!

The support of the people in China not only raised the reputation of the People's Party to a new height above Chongqing, the central government, but also wiped out the arguments of national destruction that have filled the people's ears since the War of Resistance Against Japan and the emotions of failure that filled the hearts! Many people truly realized: Perhaps it is not far from victory!

The ** forces in India and Myanmar are happy for the progress they have made. While grateful to the People's Party for their efforts, they also regret the little tails left on the ** issue. However, their regrets are something that Zhao Zhenzhong, Zhou Mingyuan and others are happy to see. They are also in line with the long-term interests of the People's Party and even China.

Of course, the British did not gain nothing. In addition to agreeing to provide it with a modified aircraft carrier of 30,000-ton merchant ship and forty F-1 fighter jets in July, the People's Party also promised that the British army in Myitkyina could retreat to Myitkyina when the situation was unfavorable, and then travel from Myitkyina to Chittagong or Siliguri via railway, and then transfer to the British-controlled Indian region to strengthen the defense force on the east coast of India. At the same time, the People's Party also stated that when the Japanese army continues to invade north, the People's Army will take the opportunity to send troops to Myanmar to fight against the Japanese army, and the Deqin Party will cooperate.

Although Emory and Wavell both hope that the People's Army could fight with the British and Burmese Army rather than the Dechin Party, Chen Zhiyuan made it clear that unless all the British Far East, including Wavell and Alexander, obeyed the military laws of the People's Army, the People's Army would never cooperate with a group of defeated soldiers who were broken by the Japanese.

Hearing the contempt revealed in Chen Zhiyuan's words, Weiville stared at her eyes and protested with a red face: "Your Excellency is an insult to the King of Great Britain!"

"From the fall of Hong Kong, to the retreat of Malaya, to the surrender of Singapore, and the retreat of the British and Burmese army at present, apart from a group of deserted soldiers and defeated soldiers with no morale, I can't see anything else worthy of admiration for the British Far East!" Chen Zhiyuan raised his lips and said sarcastically, "To be honest, I don't think it's the entire British army like this at all! If the British Far East defended the British mainland, it would probably be that Hitler's flag would have floated over London now!"

Weiville glared at Chen Zhiyuan fiercely with his one-eyed eyes, as if he wanted to swallow him alive! But after a while, Weiville thought about the series of defeats of the British Army in the Far East that Chen Zhiyuan said, but found that what the other party said was all facts, and the anger in the one-eyed eyes was replaced by a sadness. After sighing dejectedly, Weiville was no longer ashamed of her. He didn't even say hello to everyone and turned around and left.

Although this was just a small episode during the negotiations between the two sides, it also destroyed the arrogance and arrogance of the British. Since then, not only did Weiville no longer show up, but even Emory and others no longer had the intention of bargaining with Lin Chenglou and Chen Zhiyuan during the negotiations, which also led to the formal signing of the relevant agreement on the 26th.

After solving the British problem, out of respect for the soldiers of the War of Resistance, the People's Party also publicly promised that as long as the Expeditionary Force was willing, they could retreat to Myitkyina with the British army. However, after entering the area controlled by the People's Party, the Expeditionary Force must temporarily lay down their weapons like the British army to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

It was also this statement from the People's Party, coupled with the American promised that support the Chongqing government remained unchanged, that Chiang Kai-shek did not strongly oppose the United States' move to establish an official business agency in Shannan. After the Japanese army completely cut off the original British-controlled Yunnan-Burma material channels and there was no hope of recovery, Chiang Kai-shek even expected that the Americans could persuade the People's Party to reopen the original material channels from Chittagong to southern Yunnan through Myitkyina to obtain US aid for domestic battlefields.

In fact, the British bowing and Chiang Kai-shek's "swallowing his anger" were all caused by the deterioration of the war in Myanmar.

On April 16, the 33rd Japanese Division heading north from Yalanmu occupied the Ren'anqiang oil field, surrounded the British First Division and the chariot battalion north of Ren'anqiang, and then threatened the west side of the 5th Army of the Expeditionary Force. To this end, the Expeditionary Force Command ordered the 66th Army, which was the battle reserve, to draw the Sun Li Renmen's headquarters of the newly formed 38th Division, to reinforce from Mandalay to Man's southwest.

After Sun Liren led his troops to the front line of Ren'anqiang, after more than two days and nights of fighting with the cooperation of the British army, the Japanese army's siege of Ren'anqiang was lifted on the evening of the 19th.

Although the siege of Ren'anqiang was temporarily lifted, the retreat of the British army in the western route completely exposed the western part of the 5th Army of the Expeditionary Army to the range of Japanese attacks. In order to avoid being attacked by the Japanese army, Du Yuming ordered Yu Shao's 96th Division to give up Binwenna and retreat to Kitung Gan.

On the east road, the 6th Army of the Expeditionary Force was also attacked by the 56th Division, which was detoured to the rear of the west side of the Mochi defense zone of the 6th Army. Although the 93rd Division of the 6th Army, Lu Guoquan's unit and Chen Mianwu's unit of the 55th Division, fought. However, the 18th and 55th Divisions of the Japanese army advanced north from the middle road to support the 56th Division, forcing the 6th Army of the Expeditionary Force to gradually retreat in the area west of the Salwin River, and retreated to the Nongpale area north of Paulak on the 17th, and the retreat was difficult to stop. The 56th Division of the Japanese army advanced north along Hebang, Nanquyi, Laika, Kaiximanshuang and other places.

Although the war situation in Myanmar is critical, hundreds of thousands of people's troops in Shannan are ready. After the British and Burmese troops and expeditionary forces evacuated, they dispatched ground and air forces to compete with the Japanese troops in Myanmar.

Of course, the People's Army will also take this opportunity to advance eastward, bringing southern Yunnan, northern Myanmar, and northern French Indochina into control. At the same time, we should also take the opportunity to teach a lesson to Thailand, which has formed an alliance with Japan, declared war on allies and sent troops to attack northern Myanmar.

In fact, Zhao Zhenzhong, Zhou Mingyuan and others are now paying more attention to Lan Fang’s current war and the upcoming Coral Sea Battle of the Japanese army.

After Singapore's fall, the Japanese army faced Lan Fang and the Allies' actions to block the waters. Instead, they advanced south from Sumatra from land. In early March, with the cooperation of the Japanese Navy that went around to the southern part of Sumatra through the Strait of Malacca, they occupied Java Island, forcing the Dutch remaining troops to retreat to Lan Fang. This made the originally established US, Britain, Netherlands, Australia and the United States War Zone was in name only, and Lan Fang was left to continue fighting against Japan.

In order to coordinate internal relations between the Allied forces, the United States proposed that the Allied forces set up the Lanfang War Zone to uniformly command the war against Japan in the surrounding areas of Lanfang. The members of the theater command were composed of the Lanfang military, with the supreme commander Chen Jiongming, and the scope of the war zone included Borneo, Siribes, Sumatra, Java, Nusa Tenggara Island and surrounding waters.

Since February, after taking over several key islands sold by the Netherlands, the Lanfang Defense Forces began to dispatch seas. Air forces implemented a plan to block the seas. While preventing the Japanese aviation forces from invading, they also launched air strikes on the Japanese troops near Lanfang. However, because Borneo was in the rainy season in February and March, the continuous rains made it difficult for the Lanfang Air Force to achieve much results. However, by April, the Lanfang Air Force made a large move, destroying oil wells and refining facilities in Brunei.

The purpose of the Japanese army's war south was to plunder resources, and oil was the top priority. In the Nanyang area, there are four major oil-producing areas, namely Brunei, British Northern Borneo, Minas in central Sumatra, Dutch East India, Balibaban on the southeast coast of Borneo in Lanfang, and Ren'anqiang in southern Myanmar. The annual output of the first three oil-producing areas is more than tens of millions of tons, while Ren'anqiang oil area is less than one million tons per year.

The Balibaban oil-producing area is controlled by Lan Fang, and there are heavy troops to guard against the army, sea and air force. When the Japanese invaded Lan Fang's sea and the air force was severely damaged, they knew that Lan Fang was difficult to take it. Therefore, the three oil-producing areas of Brunei, Minas and Ren'anqiang became the places where the Japanese army was bound to win.

Brunei first fell into the hands of the Japanese army, and because of its rapid advance, the local oil wells and refining facilities were basically preserved. However, before the joy of the Japanese army had passed, the Lanfang Air Force suddenly dispatched in early April to bomb Brunei's oil wells and refining facilities, destroying the oil wells and refineries together!

Although the Japanese army had occupied the Minas Oilfield at this time and the Brunei Oilfield was no longer a unique position, a group of senior generals in the Japanese base camp were still furious about this and decided to send the 24th, 25th and 28th third divisions to launch a ground attack on Lan Fang from North Borneo, and mobilized nearly 300 naval fighters to attack Lan Fang. Although the 24th Division, which was later transferred to the Nanyang Ocean, was urgently transferred to the Donggeshan Pass area in southwestern Myanmar to prevent the People's Army from advancing eastward, in the eyes of the Japanese army, the attack power of the two divisions and nearly 300 fighter jets could have achieved phased results.

The commander of the 25th Division, Yaezawa Akashita and Saezawa Ishiguro, the commander of the 28th Division, were also full of confidence, thinking that attacking Lan Fang from land would definitely lead to a quick victory. But when the two old Japanese led their troops through the tropical rainforest after the rainy season, they understood what a journey to hell is!

The roads opened up among the vines and weeds will be re-covered again in four or five days without four or five days. In addition, there are rainforests around it. If it weren't for the compass of the army, the two divisions would have been like entering a maze!

Before they could have head-on contact with Lan Fang's army, tens of thousands of Japanese troops who had been in the rain forest for nearly ten days had more than 1,500 non-combat attributable personnel. Some were bitten by poisonous snakes or other unknown poisons, some were swallowed by swamps, some were infected with malaria, and some were infected by miasma in the forest. All kinds of strange things made Akashiya Yaezo and Ishiguro Satozo completely lost their original energy. In addition, there were problems with logistics support, heavy equipment, food and other supplies were difficult to keep up. The two old Japanese had to lead a team to reopen the road and hurried back to the Brunei area.

Subsequently, Akashiya Yaezo and Ishiguro Saitozo jointly reported to Sakaichi Desouchi, saying that "the rainforest environment is very different, and the imperial troops have not been effectively trained and fully prepared, so it is not appropriate to take risks easily." He also reported in detail the various situations encountered.

Teraunuchi originally wanted to punish Akashiya Yaezawa and Ishiguro Satozo, but after being persuaded by Chief of Staff Tsukada, he also felt that the rainforest battle was a major problem encountered by the Japanese army, especially the 25th and 28th Divisions were later transferred from the Far East battlefield to strengthen the Southern Army. The troops were indeed unable to adapt to the mobilization between the north and the north, so they exposed the matter and ordered the two divisions to step up training in preparation for another battle.

The ground troops retreated before they even saw the opponent's figure, but the Japanese naval and air forces attacked Lan Fang again suffered a heavy blow. From April 10 to 19, nearly 300 Japanese lands, naval fighters, Lan Fang's air force and ground air defense forces, ended in a disastrous defeat with more than 200 fighter jets.

The Japanese Southern Army and Navy both clamored to mobilize forces to launch a larger-scale battle against Lan Fang to completely resolve Lan Fang, a stumbling block that was traversed by the Japanese army's attack on Australia south. However, the Japanese base camp decided to resolve the outskirts of Australia first and strive to gain a foothold in the north, thereby limiting the US military's activities in the Pacific Ocean due to the Dulit air strike on Tokyo.

As for Lan Fang, who is now in a state of being closed to the sea, as long as it is restricted from expanding outward, more Japanese army divisions will adapt to the rainforest climate, and after the sea and air forces solve the Australian periphery, it will not be too late to turn back to deal with Lan Fang.

The decision of the Japanese base camp made Soichi Deanuchi feel regretful, especially when he thought that the army was just a supporting role in the upcoming sea and air war, he was even more unwilling to accept it. However, the base camp had ordered it, so he could only order the relevant troops of the Southern Army to make corresponding preparations.
