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

"Hello, His Majesty, the Emperor of the Southern China Empire. Because of your order, your country, which could have stayed out of this war, now has to send a large number of troops to participate in this war. Then your army will inevitably suffer a large number of casualties, which could have been completely avoided. Do you think it is worth it?"

Now that the summit meeting of various countries has ended, it is time for reporters to ask questions. This time, the person asking Sun Tong questions is an Italian reporter.

The question he asked seemed to be harmless, but many people present knew that there was a trap in his question.

"Of course it's worth it!"

Facing the reporters present, Sun Tong looked serious and looked around at everyone present with a firm gaze before continuing, "The South China Empire has never been a country that likes war, but that doesn't mean we are afraid of war."

"As a responsible country, I think it is necessary for our South China Empire to intervene in this war to prevent more innocent families from suffering avoidable casualties due to this unjust war."

"Perhaps in the next battle, many soldiers of the South China Empire will fall under the enemy's guns, but this is the necessary price to pay for peace. Our South China Empire will be the most steadfast guardian of world peace!"

Because time was limited, Sun Tong did not make any long speeches. Now he just needed to reveal his determination.

As for what the Hans and Italians think, it has nothing to do with Sun Tong.

Because the colonial transactions between South China and Yingguo have always been conducted in secret, some European countries may have discovered some clues during this period, but several major countries in the Franco-Spanish Alliance have no idea what is happening in Africa.

Nowadays, Hans and Italy are eager to kill the Japanese.

Especially on the Hans side, the fact that they blindly chose Italy as their teammate was already a headache for the Hans. Originally, they thought that the Japanese far away in the East were more reliable.

But now it seems that this is also a stupid teammate.

A surprise attack directly created two superpowers as enemies for their alliance.

There is no need to talk about the strength of the Ugly Country. Over the years, the economic strength of the Ugly Country has always been the first in the world, and it is the first by a large margin.

Maybe this country didn't perform very well in previous wars, but with its economic and industrial advantages, it shouldn't be difficult for them to raise an army of several million, right?

As for South China, other countries may not be clear about South China's background, but this does not include Hans.

We must never forget how the Kingdom of Hans rose again before the war. At that time, they were deeply mired in huge reparations and economic crisis, and the people could not even afford to eat. If it were not for Xihua giving them a hand, do you think that the little mustache man could conjure up anything? It only took ten years for the overall economy of Hans to recover again.

You must know that at the beginning, the only country that did business with the Hans Kingdom was the Western China Kingdom, and the Western China Kingdom was just a state under the Southern China Empire.

Although the Hans are arrogant today, their arrogance is different from that of the Japanese. The reason why the Hans are so arrogant today is the confidence they have accumulated through the two world wars. Look at the European battlefield today. If there are no foreign forces intervening, they really have the strength to sweep across Europe.

In other words, the people of Hans are crazy but still rational.

But look at the Japanese, they are simply brainless. The enemies come one after another, but they have no way to get rid of them. Now the situation of the Japanese looks good, and they have seized a lot of territory.

But in fact?

The Japanese have been completely surrounded by a number of hostile countries. No one believes that the Japanese with their small size can withstand the siege of Nanhua, Chouguo and Longguo. Everyone is also certain of one thing, that is, the defeat of the Japanese is only a matter of time.

After the meeting, the heads of state returned to their respective countries and immediately issued a new round of mobilization orders.

On the African battlefield, the first batch of reinforcements sent by Nanhua has successfully arrived in North Africa, and has now begun to counterattack the Franco-Spanish coalition forces together with the armies of Yingguo and Gaul.

The troops sent to North Africa by the South China Empire's African Corps this time included a large number of armored units. With the combat effectiveness of the African Corps, these 180,000 troops had just been deployed to the battlefield, but they had already brought about tremendous changes to the war situation in North Africa.

Because the two sides were unfamiliar with each other, the Franco-Spanish Alliance suffered a heavy loss right after the battle. Of course, this was also related to the good cooperation of the Italian army.

Before the war, no one had expected that the African Corps would actually deal a severe blow to the Franco-Spanish Alliance in its first battle. Previously, the Franco-Spanish Alliance had a total of more than 30 troops in North Africa. If the vassal troops they recruited locally were included, the total number would reach 50.

But with the end of this war, the number of troops available to the Franco-Spanish alliance in Africa was directly reduced to 22. A large number of Italian troops and vassal troops either died or surrendered, which directly made the situation of the Franco-Spanish alliance in North Africa worse.
