Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? When Britain and France were busy suppressing the colonial rebellion, they did not forget to check the Japanese espionage problem, especially after the outbreak of the Philippine rebellion.

Although the Japanese government has ordered overseas spy organizations to suspend their activities, and the military has also ordered espionage organizations to shrink their scope of activities, they are accustomed to using government orders as toilet paper, and these organizations are obviously not so obedient.

The intelligence organizations directly under the government or the military are fine. After receiving the order, they are all honest, but other messy intelligence organizations are different.

Even some intelligence organizations have never received an order at all, and their existence is kept secret from the government and the military.

In this context, Japan's industry in Southeast Asia was immediately hit by a devastating blow. Mr. Churchill, who suffered a belly in China, came to Southeast Asia. The second fire burned to the Japanese.

How is it possible to quell the rebellion in a short period of time without sending reinforcements from the country?

You must know that the main force of the counter-insurgency belonging to Mr. Churchill is still being formed. So far, he has been able to use tens of thousands of troops from the Southeast Asian colonies, and the Royal Navy can provide cooperation.

To deal with an island rebellion like the Visayas, there is a burst of artillery bombardment, and then the counterinsurgency army landed. An island can be recovered in ten days and a half in a short time, and two months in a slow way.

But the rebellion that has spread to Malaysia is different. It is easy to defeat them, but it is difficult to destroy them.

They have also learned the art of war. Relying on the dense jungle, they come out to attack several cities from time to time. Mr. Churchill, who is short of troops, just came over and ignited the first fire of a new officer, and was taught how to use troops.

After a few battles, he accepted his fate, and it was impossible to annihilate the rebellion in a short period of time.

Under his astonishing strategic deployment, in just one month, 20,000 troops were lost, the scope of the rebels' activities doubled, and Singapore almost fell.

Mr. Churchill also knew that he was afraid. If the fight continues like this, it is estimated that Southeast Asia will be lost before the counter-insurgency army arrives.

The lack of military ability does not mean that the political ability is also lacking. The Dutch government can find someone to take the blame and push its own responsibilities. Can't Mr. Churchill not be able to do it?

You know, he is a professional player in this field. Looking around, he found that it is the most reliable to dump the blame on the Japanese. Anyway, they already have a criminal record.

Then, the British Southeast Asian colonial government, under the order of Churchill, the colonial minister, began to sweep the Japanese industries. If there is no problem, it must be found out.

If it really doesn't work, they will frame it. Anyway, the officials of the colonial government are grasshoppers on the same rope. If you don't want to go to jail, you must push the responsibility out.

Tokyo

The Japanese government is already furious. If John Bull was not too strong at this time, it is estimated that the two sides would have fought long ago.

This is really bullying. In order to find out the Japanese spies, in just over half a month, tens of thousands of Japanese expatriates have been arrested, and not a few have been wiped.

Protest, must protest!

But at this time, Mr. Churchill didn't care about the Japanese protests. The problem of rebellion in Southeast Asia was too big. He fought a series of defeats. More than twenty thousand.

In order to stabilize the situation, he launched domestic relations, borrowing two divisions from Australia, one division from New Zealand, and two divisions from India.

Coupled with the troops in the original colony, he was able to stabilize the situation. The larger islands in the Visayas of the Philippines were all lost and are still being recovered.

More than half of Malaysia was occupied, but the main cities were still in the hands of the colonial government. There was also a rebellion in Brunei, and the rebellion in Singapore was suppressed.

There was a rebellion in Sri Lanka, the instability in Burma, the Bolshevik party in Bangladesh,

But the flag of rebellion has not been raised yet.

According to the current situation, Mr. Churchill was surprised to find that even if his counter-insurgency army arrived, he would not be able to suppress the colonial rebellion.

For this reason, he also specially studied the rebellion in Southeast Asia in history. In the end, he was surprised to find that it was not that they did not work hard, but that the rebels had evolved.

It's not like the kind of looting that started when the city was broken, and then scattered after the looting, and then continued to attack new cities when the spoils were exhausted.

It's different now. Although there are still the vast majority of the rabble, a small number of them are already organized.

They know how to take advantage of the terrain, and know how to lure the enemy deep into the jungle. Basically, as long as they chase the British troops who have entered the jungle area, they will be beaten all over the place.

If the chase is too hard, the direct annihilation of the entire army is not unheard of. The British army, who is not familiar with this combat mode, will naturally be recruited.

So why did the combat effectiveness of these insurgents soar in a short period of time?

In addition to the support of foreign forces, is there any other possibility?

Then Mr. Churchill directly targeted the Japanese without any evidence. This was the conclusion he directly reasoned and it was always recognized by the local colonial government.

Don't need to look at anything else, just investigate the composition of the rebels. This is very simple. The British have been operating locally for so long, and there are many locals who are willing to cooperate with them.

Preliminary investigations found that there were no whites in the leadership of the rebels, so this must not have been done by European and American countries.

Besides, there were also rebellions in the colonies of France and Bulgaria. They couldn't even engage with themselves. Apart from them, which other country in Europe and America would have the courage to challenge the British Empire?

After excluding European and American countries, Mr. Churchill turned his attention to other parts of the world, and there were few independent countries.

First of all, the Republic of China, where the warlords are fighting, is impossible to join, and they do not have the strength to do such a big thing in Southeast Asia.

Secondly, Thailand has also been excluded, as it does not have this strength.

In the end, only Japan is left, with strength, motivation, and criminal record, not only they must be them!

Anyway, even if the Japanese have sneaked into the rebels, they can't tell if they don't look carefully. What Mr. Churchill is doing now can be said to be aimed at persecuting the local Japanese expatriates.

As long as the Japanese expatriates join in, he can tell the country that the Japanese government sent troops to mix with the rebels and disrupt Southeast Asia!

Then it is reasonable that he cannot quell the rebellion in the short term. After all, Japan is also a world power, and its strength cannot be won by some colonial troops.

As for the consequences of doing so?

What's the matter with him?

The big deal is that the British Empire beats up the Japanese, or engages in a round of sanctions, aren't these small problems?

Compared with the history, the British Empire was pushed into the world war ahead of time, which is really not worth mentioning!

In a word, the Tokyo government is out of breath. If it wasn't for the difference in strength between the two sides, they would have gone to war long ago.

Now a huge anti-British demonstration has broken out in Japan, the British embassy in Tokyo has been blocked, and British diplomats are afraid to go out.

London

Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was also in a very bad mood. He finally understood Churchill's pitiful nature, and he could make trouble wherever he went.

He'd bet that if he ordered Churchill to be recalled now, Churchill would immediately throw away the mess, go back to London happily, and push all those responsibilities out.

In any case, although Churchill's actions this time were a bit rude and made more false and unjust cases, the members of the Japanese intelligence organization who were arrested were also real.

Thousands of spy confessions were recorded, including commercial spies, government spies, and military spies.

Well, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin still doesn't know that ninety-nine percent of these evidences are fabricated, otherwise, no matter how efficient it is, it is impossible to achieve such amazing results?

Especially when more than 100,000 rifles and thousands of tons of weapons and ammunition have been checked, when did the Japanese government become so arrogant?

This looks like deceptive data, but the British cabinet insisted that there was no problem, just refer to the materials they supported Little Nicholas.

In that year, they didn't help their hundreds of thousands of rifles, and they didn't give them hundreds of thousands of tons of ammunition? Compared with this, the performance of the Japanese is considered petty!

Of course, judging from the mountains of photos of guns and ammunition, there is such evidence that even if they turned against the Japanese government, they would still be reasonable.

In this world, the dominant British Empire is invincible, and they will not be afraid of any enemy!

Tough, tough measures must be taken against the Japanese government!

This is also the low pixel of this era, and you can't see anything in long-distance photos. If you take a closer look, it is estimated that everyone will feel very familiar, and then ask a question, why are these weapons and ammunition produced by the United Kingdom?

However, these problems will not be a problem soon. All these weapons and ammunition will be consumed in the counter-insurgency war, and the last bullet will not be left. It doesn't matter whether they were captured from the Japanese.

In this regard, the colonial government officials have rich experience. This is their usual normal business. Otherwise, there is no benefit. Who wants to leave the prosperous British mainland and go to the colony to suffer?

On one side is the aggrieved Japanese government, and on the other side is the furious British government. Can the two sides make concessions?

Obviously impossible!

As long as the Japanese government does not want to be punished by the gods, it must fight against the British; and the arrogant British government thinks that it has taken hold of the truth.

Even the Dutch dared to face the Japanese government aggressively. If Stanley Baldwin dared to admit defeat, where would the British Empire lose face?

Britain and Japan suddenly confronted each other. Ferdinand had prepared the seeds, made the tea, and was ready to watch the play.

If it wasn't for the fear of unintended consequences, he would have wanted to provoke another fight and make the two sides fight.

If Britain and Japan fought a war, Ferdinand had no doubt that the British would win the final victory. But at the cost, the position of the British world hegemony is also shaky.

At this time, the situation in Southeast Asia changed again. Mr. Churchill's goal was achieved, and he successfully pulled the Japanese into the water.

It's just that this big drama, his director just finished the beginning of the filming, and the investors crossed hands later, and the plot started to get out of control.

After the furious Japanese joined the rebellion, the war began to spread again. There are many Japanese expatriates in Southeast Asia, and the quality of these people is not comparable to the natives.

Many of them are retired officers and soldiers with rich training experience. With the participation of these professionals, the combat effectiveness of the rebels has reached a new level.

Now the Japanese government doesn't have to be wronged anymore. The stimulated Japanese decided to give the British a little color.

Didn't they say they supported the Southeast Asian rebellion? Then show your support to them!

Of course, these are all secretly done by the Japanese military, and the top Japanese government is still rational.

It is too easy for the Japanese army to do things. They gathered a group of middle and second officers and soldiers in the army and asked them to retire directly and go to Southeast Asia in their own name.

Mr. Churchill, I just thought I was having a good time and shouldn't push the Japanese diaspora back. The ten Indian divisions he requested were already in place, and it was time to counter the rebellion.

It was a pity that he still felt that the troops were insufficient. The newly formed Indian colonial division could not defeat the rebels!

That's right, during the frontal battle, he was directly defeated!

Of course, this is only what Mr. Churchill thinks. These British officers do not think that their combat effectiveness is poor and that they cannot defeat these rebels.

In their opinion, if it weren't for the large number of rebels and the great strategy of this Mr. Churchill, they would not have lost!

Why split up? Isn't the recovery of one place by place not good?

Simultaneously launched counterattacks from all directions, the prestige is prestige, and the political propaganda is in place, but the problem is that the force has also been diluted?

After regaining lost ground, do you need to stay behind?

Is this even a question?

The cowhide has already been blown out. If it is lost again, it may not matter in the military, but what about the politics?

Since a politician is the commander, in order to be politically correct, we must defend ourselves in an all-round way and consolidate the fruits of victory!

The Japanese did not exert their strength, and Mr. Churchill could not bear it. But it doesn't matter, he can call people!

Now that the London government believes that the Japanese government is supporting the rebellion, it is of course impossible to refuse Mr. Churchill's request for help.

Don't look at Churchill's poor military ability, but his talent for political struggle is full marks!

Take his recorded passionate speech and find someone to send it to Congress. It successfully stirred up everyone's emotions and persuaded members of Congress to agree to an increase in troops, and it was not an increase of 120,000 troops, but a one-time increase of 200,000 troops!

It's really not good if there are fewer people. Didn't the Netherlands next door continue to suppress the rebels after mobilizing 200,000 troops to fight the rebels?

The British Empire can also learn from their successful experience!

In addition to these main troops, colonial troops are also indispensable. Ten Indian colonial divisions, a Canadian division, and the three North American countries have also made up a reinforced division.

Eating a cut grows a wiser, Mr. Churchill summed up the reason for his failure, that is, there are too few troops. So this time, he desperately asked for reinforcements at home and from the self-government of the British Commonwealth.

If all reinforcements arrive, Mr Churchill will end up with twenty Indian divisions, one North American reinforcement division, one Canadian division, one New Zealand division, two Australian divisions, thirteen main British Army divisions and his own expansion. Fifteen Southeast Asian colonial divisions.

In the end, there were fifty-three divisions in total, and there were even three tank divisions among the domestic reinforcements this time. I wonder if Mr. Churchill knew that the tanks currently equipped by the British army could not carry out jungle operations!

In any case, there are fifty-three divisions in total, and the total strength is close to 800,000. This is obviously not to suppress the colonial rebellion!

In order to persuade the Congress to increase troops as much as possible, of course he had to exaggerate appropriately, for example: fabricating the rumor that the Japanese government might attack Southeast Asia to put pressure on the Congress.

Another example: If the Anglo-Japanese War suddenly broke out, how should the British government respond?

In short, under his flickering and public opinion, he successfully attracted the attention of the Congress. In order to prevent Japanese sneak attacks in advance, he first increased troops in Southeast Asia.

As long as the reinforcements come and how to use them in the end, there is no need to ask the country for instructions. As the local supreme commander, Mr. Churchill, of course, has full command, and suppression of the rebellion is naturally indispensable!

As for whether there will be a war with the Japanese, Mr. Churchill is not worried at all. Even if there is a fight, isn't there a Royal Navy? Could the enemy swim over?
