At around 13:00 p.m. on April 19, 1946, a detailed report on the Battle of the Philippines was placed in front of the European double champion Joachim I. Although this member of the Hohenzollern family, born in 1890, has entered a twilight physiologically, his appearance and mental state are the same as his prime. What is even more admirable is that he has contributed countless wonderful strategies and strategies to the construction of the German naval and the development of Ireland throughout his life, and many of them have been regarded as classics by the world...

After reading this battle report sent by the task force, Xia Shu said to the royal special adviser and retired Marshal Sean Purcell in a calm tone: "It has been confirmed that this battle has sunk two large Japanese aircraft carriers, severely injured two, and one light aircraft carrier, one sunk and one injured. Through a day-long battle, the carrier-based aviation force of the Japanese Joint Fleet was basically destroyed. The US fleet only paid the price of two aircraft carriers being slightly injured. Our St. Patrick was blessed by the goddess of luck and was only two near-lost bombs. Four sailors were injured and no one was killed."

The Irish navy father took the report from the king, read it quickly and seriously, and then smiled: "The Japanese Navy is as pretense as we expected, and the Americans who slept on firewood and tasted gall won a sure victory. The lucky Halsey became a hero in the eyes of everyone. He would be recorded in history for defeating the Japanese fleet, but few people know who is the key figure in the war behind the scenes."

For Purcell's seemingly inadvertent compliments, Natsuki smiled calmly: "Actually, my impact on this war is far less than my brother who can make half of the world tremble with just stomping his feet. Think about it, if there were no Russians, India and the military restraint of the Australians, the strength of the Japanese Navy would not be the same as that of the present. If the Japanese could invest more than a dozen aircraft carriers in the Philippine Sea, Halsey would not have won so smoothly."

After Purcell reviewing the battle report ahead, General Donal Cashi, the current naval commander, asked in confusion: "However, such a victory with a huge difference in losses is not what we really expect. Besides the slight losses of our participating ships, what else is there to be happy about?"

Although General Kashi, who came from the old Irish noble family, was not as trusted by the royal family as Purcell. He never got in touch with the secrets behind the Tokyo nuclear explosion, so he did not understand the meaning behind the two words in front of him.

"Of course!" Natsuki turned to General Kashi and said, "Such a complete victory cannot maximize our interests. We may lose hundreds of millions of Ai Yuan military orders. This is indeed a pity, but for all the innocent people in the Japanese-occupied areas, this is a day worth celebrating, and it is likely that Japan is moving faster and faster on its downhill road!"

General Cashi shrugged: "To be honest, I don't care much about what kind of life those people I have never met now. This is their fate and the test of nature. Take us Irish for example. For example, we were in great disaster a century ago, but no one extended a helping hand to us out of pity and sympathy. As a result, half of the Irish people were either starved to death or forced to flee their homes. Ireland fell into despair until your Majesty, your Majesty!"

Unlike Purcell who is good at military command, has a good overall view and strategic awareness, General Cach's strengths are organizational coordination and personnel management. After taking over as commander of the Irish Navy, he quickly streamlined the originally slightly complicated naval administrative structure, made drastic reforms to the policy of strategically sealing old ships, and made reasonable adjustments to the navy's development and construction plan. These measures allowed the Irish Navy to go lightly in the new round of competition and move forward quickly.

In view of this, Xia Shu did not refute it, but reached out to pat his arm: "You are grateful to me because I have reversed your destiny. If we have reversed their destiny, then they will also be grateful to us. Living in this world is not just to satisfy our desires, but as strong people, we should defend the morality and order of this era."

General Kashi nodded in a vague way. At this time, if he turned his eyes to the same distant place and the country that was still in deep suffering, he would find that the large-scale invasion of the Japanese army had stopped, but this did not mean that the situation had improved. After the Tokyo explosion, the reshuffled Japanese military and political leaders adjusted their invasion strategy, while allowing the Wang puppet puppet regime to gradually take over all regions except the northeast and northwest, while intensifying the temptation and persuasion of the National Government that retreated to the northwest. Money in the Japanese puppet

Under the power offensive, the National Government, which relied on the assistance of Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union, faced difficulties again. In the Qinghai, Ningxia, Gansu and Inner Mongolia fronts, which confronted the Japanese army, there were constant defections in the middle and low-level military officers, leading to serious leaks in the Lanzhou battle actively planned by the National Government in response to the Philippine uprising and the United States' participation in the war. The army was attacked by Japanese aviation troops one after another during the movement assembly process. The combat operations were repeatedly postponed, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side quickly increased their troops to strengthen defense, causing the National Government troops to miss the opportunity to counterattack and defeat the enemy.

Just as the US special-mixed fleet severely damaged the Japanese southern fleet and the main force of the Japanese joint fleet hurriedly assembled and rushed south, the hesitant National Government finally ordered the front-line departments to take action according to the new combat plan. 11 adapted divisions, 4 new divisions and more than 200,000 units of the independent combat vehicle brigade besieged three and a half divisions of the Japanese Northwest Front around Lanzhou under the cover of the air force. In order to compete for air supremacy on the battlefield, the National Government Air Force came out in full swing, and the Japanese army transferred nearly a thousand fighter jets from North China and Central China to support the front line. The aviation troops of both sides launched a fierce air battle for 16 days around Lanzhou.

In this battle, the situation of the National Government Air Force improved a lot before the retreat. They equipped advanced fighter jets such as the ir-39 and me-90, etc., and used the Soviet-assisted I-16 and Jacques-1 as the main force. Most of the pilots received regular flight and combat training in the Soviet Union. Therefore, in the initial stage of the battle, the National Government Air Force showed its strength and gained the upper hand in direct confrontation with the Japanese aviation forces.

It also provided firepower assistance for the offensive of the ground troops. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Faced with the Japanese aviation and ground air defense troops that were constantly moving to the front line, they were trapped in a arduous tug-of-war to compete for will and endurance. In the case of shortage of accessories, insufficient supply, and at a disadvantage in absolute military forces, they gradually lost the initiative in combat. Later, they were even more tired of dealing with the waves of Japanese fighter jets, and finally had to accept the result of "defeating but glorious".

The Air Force retreated, and the ground battle, which was once "confidenced to win", was also a success. 7 of the 11 adapted divisions were crippled, half of the 4 new divisions were defeated in the late stage of the battle, and most of the reinforcements were damaged. The independent chariot brigade, built with standard German equipment and combat training systems, broke through the two solid defense lines of the Japanese army during the battle, so it was regarded as "the elite among the elites" and "the ace among the aces". In the end, it was still

It was repeated the mistakes of friendly forces, and most of the heavy equipment was lost on the battlefield during the retreat. It can be said that in the battle of Lanzhou, the Kuomintang army lost all its might, and the country was completely destroyed, and the political and tax system had collapsed. It was difficult to see the hope of turning the tables on its own strength. Since then, even if the Western allies have maintained such considerable military aid at present, the power gap between the Kuomintang army and the Japanese and puppet troops will only become increasingly disparity.

To change this desperate situation and to free China and India, the two most populous countries in the world, from the exploitation and oppression of the Japanese invaders, you must fundamentally dismantle Japan's military power, completely cut off the claws of this war monster, pull out its fangs, and smash its head... But how easy is this?

After winning the Battle of the Philippines, the US Pacific 1st Pacific Fleet, which had been fighting for nearly a month, began to withdraw from the combat area, blockade and harass the Philippine Japanese army, and support the Philippine Resistance Alliance to carry out the tasks of carrying out the weaker US Pacific 2nd Pacific Fleet and submarine force. Most of the main ships under Halsey will return to Hawaii for maintenance, and light ships with no losses or minor damage will go nearby for supply rest, and then join the 2nd Pacific Fleet commanded by Spruins to continue fighting. Regarding the situation of the Philippine war zone, the combat situation in the Philippines

The changes and the deployment and adjustment of the US military, the US side reported to the Western allies that had secretly cooperated with it a few days later, and made an official reply to the issues raised by the Western allies. When the main naval force was severely hit, Japan did not express its intention to cease war to the US in any form. If there is diplomatic contact with Japan in the future, the US government will definitely notify the Western allies as soon as possible. It will never hold formal talks with Japan without the attendance of the Western allies, nor will it sign any agreement with Japan without the approval of the Western allies.

Shortly thereafter, under the active promotion of Ireland, representatives of Germany, the United States, the Soviet Union, Ireland, France and the Netherlands held a high-level meeting in Murmansk, the northern port of the Soviet Union, to discuss joint interference with Japan and reorganization of the Asian order. Although countries had no intention of restoring old colonies or creating new colonies, they agreed that Japan should withdraw its troops from the colonial territory seized during World War II, and that the Japanese side should also be responsible for returning or making compensation for the assets of countries in these areas before the war. The biggest problem at present is that Japan's economic scale and comprehensive military strength are still ranked second in the world. Its army and foreign institutions continue to plunder resources from most of Asia to supply the local enterprises every month
