Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

With Sun Tong's intervention, the Ugly Country quickly backed down and directly agreed to the South American "various countries" joining the South Ugly Alliance.

Just as the two countries were busy welcoming their new ally, new news came from the Asian battlefield.

The Japanese launched a war against South Vietnam without declaring war. In just half a month, they defeated the local Gallic colonial army and completely occupied South Vietnam.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese announced a blockade of the South China Sea shipping lanes after occupying South Vietnam. Now our contact with our ancestors has been completely cut off."

It seems that Nanhua has been standing idly by in the face of Longguo's affairs over the years, but in fact, Nanhua has not only sold things to Longguo, but has also donated a lot of resources to that country.

This does not even include the money and supplies donated by merchants in South China, otherwise the amount would be even greater.

However, with the Japanese occupation of South Vietnam, the northern waters of the South China Sea are now completely controlled by the Japanese. If Nanhua still wants to continue transporting supplies to Longguo, it will no longer be able to take the South China Sea route.

Of course, Nanhua can still use the Gongbang Naxian line to transport supplies to Longguo, but the problem is that that line is only okay for transporting some supplies on a small scale, but it is definitely impossible to transport supplies in large quantities like before.

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's up to Dragon Country to decide what to do next."

The situation in Longguo in this life is much better than that in the parallel universe. In the early stages of the war, the offensive of the Japanese seemed fierce, but facing the Japanese who were in a violent state, Longguo’s army not only fought back and forth, but more importantly, Longguo’s army also restricted the Japanese’s power to some areas along the coast of Longguo.

This situation made the Japanese feel a little uncomfortable.

In the past year, not only did the Japanese fail to gain much advantage on the battlefield in Longguo, but they often suffered heavy casualties because of the Longguo army's geographical advantage.

This situation lasted for a long time, and the Japanese naturally would not choose to hang themselves on the tree of Longguo. This is why the Japanese completely abandoned the northern battlefield and began to invade the south.

In the past two years, due to the setbacks on the northern battlefield, the Japanese have actually lost their former arrogance.

After all, the armies of Russia and China had already taught them enough lessons, so when they sent a large army south to invade South Vietnam this time, the high-ranking Japanese military officials were really worried at the thought of facing the Gallic colonial army.

But the reality once again surprised everyone. The Gallic colonial army of more than 60,000 people was defeated and fled in disarray just by facing the Fifth Division. The Japanese troops that arrived in South Vietnam later did the most work during this period to take over the territory. This result was not only unacceptable to the proud Gauls, but even the Japanese were completely stunned.

Sometimes the world is so magical. When everyone thought that Longguo was a "soft persimmon", the Japanese devils on the Longguo side were taught a severe lesson by the Longguo army.

When everyone thought that the 60,000 Gallic colonial troops would teach the Japanese a big lesson, the Japanese defeated all of Gallic's troops in South Vietnam with only 10,000 people.

So the question is, is it that the Dragon Kingdom’s army is too powerful, or are the Gauls just too weak?

Looking at the situation on the European battlefield, some people may defend the Gallic army, believing that the Gauls' poor performance in this battle may be related to their lack of desire to fight.

This seems to be true, but the Gaul colonial army has 60,000 soldiers. 60,000 versus 20,000. Even if the Gallic army is unwilling to fight, they will not be completely wiped out by the Japanese in one battle.

In short, after this incident, the image of Gaul as a powerful country was completely shattered, and the Japanese who occupied South Vietnam would obviously not be satisfied with this.

One month after they occupied South Vietnam, the Japs again divided their troops into three groups and marched westward. This time, the Japs were prepared to go a step further and annex the three countries west of South Vietnam in one go.

Regarding the Japanese's actions, many people felt that after defeating the Gauls, the Japanese began to lose their sense of self-importance again.

But the subsequent series of battle results of the Japanese devils slapped these people in the face. Not only were the Gauls vulnerable to the Japanese devils, but the Ying people's army also had to take a beating in front of the Japanese devils.

Now those people who advocated Yingguo and Gaul were completely silent. After all, the reality was already in front of them. They could say that the combat effectiveness of Yingguo's colonial army was not as good as that of their own elite troops.

But the problem is that it is universally recognized that the Ying country's army is not as good as that of Gaul. So even if the Ying country's elite army is sent to the Southeast Asian battlefield, can they definitely change the declining situation on the battlefield?
