Chapter 347 Before the declaration of war (1)(2/2)
After the Italian army invaded Tunisia on a large scale, the French Free Army had always adopted a policy of contraction, gathering its main force in the central and western Algeria, allowing the Italian army to occupy Tunisia and the northern region of Algeria. This is also the point where the French army is more helpless, because
The number of free French naval forces is not enough to agree to the military confrontation. Without the control of the sea, it is difficult for the French army to agree to the military confrontation head-on in port cities.
The French Free Army's retreat can be said to have given the Chinese Empire an excellent opportunity to declare war, because the Italian army had already attacked Seitif in Algeria, leaving only the last two hundred kilometers away from Algiers.
In order to strategically enable China to participate in the war and ultimately win the Second World War, General Charles de Gaulle also made a big bet, and the special envoys of Britain and France also signed a secret agreement with the empire in Beijing, which basically satisfies the empire.
Most of the requirements, especially on the terms of Britain and France's withdrawal from the Middle East and Asia, were without any discounts. For the national bonds sold by Britain and France to China during the war, Britain and France also promised to repay on time under any conditions.
These two points are enough, these two countries can basically not make a comeback after World War II.
Without the existence of the Soviet Union, the empire would not be polite to them after World War II. There must be plans for European reconstruction, but the conditions will definitely not be very favorable. Of course, at that time, the United States must be stabilized, and China and the United States must not let go of the water.
It can effectively and firmly strangle the old European powers.
On the morning of September 13, 1941, Emperor Song used breakfast time to summarize the latest European battlefield intelligence and read it. It felt that the conditions were already very mature. The time when China had to officially participate in the war had arrived, and there was no need to wait any longer.
.
After breakfast, Song Biao asked the inner court to make new arrangements, asking the cabinet Prime Minister Gu Weijun and the chief of the General Staff Jiang Fangzhen to visit the General Office of the Central Palace at 9:30 am, and asked the inner court chief Chen Jiayou to personally give Zhao Tingzhu, commander-in-chief of the Northwest Alliance Army.
The general generates power, and the message has only four words. What is the current situation?
If President Zhao's call back the call "stable recent situation", then wait for a while. If President Zhao's call back the call back the call back "when will it last", then the war can start.
Commander-in-Chief Zhao is the main battlefield. Whether to fight or not, he has a great say.
In fact, Emperor Song Biao's recent plan was to take the opportunity to inspect the Volga front and see with his own eyes the preparations for the Northwest Alliance, but the Italian army's offensive situation in North Africa was indeed relatively rapid, which made him too late to inspect.
After discussing the issue of Europe with the Crown Prince Yuhua, Emperor Song Biao stood up and went to the General Office. At 9:30, more than ten minutes before Premier Gu Weijun and Chief of Staff of Jiang Fangzhen had already arrived at the Central Palace to meet.
Biao sat down in the office and sorted out the latest State of the Union consultation, while asking the two of them to come first.
The situation in the country is still very stable. The 1.7 million new recruits mobilized in June are about to be assigned to the army group at the company level, half of which will be arranged to the Northwest Alliance. In the direction of South Asia, Su Bin's 10th Army and four other groups will be
The army is being quickly transferred to Kazakhstan.
The empire has completed the organization of 22 armies, each armed with 57 divisions. It is expected to further increase to 35 armies by May next year, and the army chief will be expanded to a scale of 11.5 million.
With the further expansion of troops and the official start of the war, the commander-in-chief of the theater with the highest front-line command will be set up on each battlefield. Each theater will add army group headquarters, with the Northwest and Eastern European theaters as the main combat area, while the European theaters and North African theaters
The Balkan War Zone only cooperated with cooperative combat, and the priority was to concentrate the elite main force to hold down Nazi Germany and fight to the death.
Once Nazi Germany died, the rest were all subject to unconditional surrender.
Of course, the empire did have the strength to completely defeat Nazi Germany, even if today's Nazi Germany has ruled the entire European continent.
The huge military expansion plan means more military orders, coupled with the demand from Britain, France, and other countries, the empire's industrial system is in a typical war prosperity and has not stopped developing due to the gradual shrinkage of world trade.
Song Biao read some of the latest data submitted by the General Administration of Investigation and the Bureau of Statistics first. Jiang Fangzhen and Gu Weijun entered the General Office to meet, bowed together and sat down at Emperor Song's desk.
Emperor Song did not speak, and they were silent. In fact, they knew in their hearts that the emperor summoned two people at the same time, which meant that the emperor believed that the time was ripe. In fact, Jiang and Gu were also very clear in their hearts that the current conditions were indeed very ripe.
Even if the reasons are not strong enough, you have to fight if you should fight. It is better to fight early than to fight late. The empire cannot allow the Nazi axis to expand like this. In the end, Nazi Germany's goal must be to challenge the empire, which is a matter of time sooner or later.
