s: This chapter is from yesterday.
The child had a fever yesterday and was delayed.
April 23, 1942, AD 2783, night.
April is a lively day.
On the 17th, the results of France's new national election came out.
Napoleon VI, also known as Louis Napoleon, became the president of France.
On the 21st, the French Parliament amended the constitution, ending the republican system, and the Third Republic officially ended.
Subsequently, they announced that the state system was an imperial system.
Subsequently, Napoleon VI was elected Emperor of the French Empire by Congress.
Yes, the emperor was elected by the people.
This was also a characteristic of the Napoleonic dynasty and a unique approach in the world.
Wen Desi looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but smile: "France has come to elect the emperor by the people again this time.
It is indeed French.
It still has the same recipe and the familiar taste."
"Mr.
Wen, we have received notification from the French Embassy that the French Emperor Napoleon VI will hold a coronation ceremony at the Palace of Versailles in Paris on May 10.
Our country is now invited to participate."
Gu Weijun reported to Wende Sihui.
"Hahaha, this guy is okay, he moves very fast.
But at this time, I don't have time to go.
Just go to Lao Tao and Lao Ka for a trip."
Wen Desi smiled and designated the vice president.
Tao Chengzhang and Foreign Minister Kafur went to attend.
China sent its vice-president to participate, which is already a great deal of face for France.
You know, this is a time of world war.
How can the heads of state and leaders of the great powers run around?
How dare they run around?
Therefore, the coronation ceremony of Napoleon VI will not be attended by too many important foreign figures.
The most that the major powers can do is send a central deputy, which is already a way to save face.
The British and American camps are very unhappy with the French guy betraying his teammates.
The most they can do is to appoint a foreign minister, or even have the local ambassador attend.
"Mr.
Wen, just now, at 12 noon local time, Japan declared war on South Africa."
Gu Xiaolu hurried in to report.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all showed such expressions.
Japan has been coveting the fertile land of South Africa for more than a day or two.
The fact that they have not taken action until now is the limit of their patience.
A few years ago, it was because Japan wanted to move, but it was not able to do so, and it was also restrained by the United States.
The Japanese are not fools.
The United States' national power is more than five times theirs.
It is really unwise to provoke such an opponent. .
But things are different now.
The relocation is over and the world situation is also changing drastically.
The Americans now have three main battlefields, Britain, North Africa and Central Africa, as well as two powerful opponents, the Soviet Union and Germany.
Although the United States also has British helpers, it is obvious that this team member is a bit weak.

Although it is a bit too much to describe the former Earth Overlord as a weakling, the "weakling" only refers to the standard of a big gangster.
From the perspective of the whole world, Britain is certainly not a weakling.
No matter how declining they are, they are still big hooligans who can easily beat up those little fart countries.
But in the circle of top powers, it seems a little inadequate.
The tragic First World had drained the blood of the British Empire and killed an entire generation.
And it didn't stop after the First World War.
In the following 20s, Britain spent the turbulent colonial independence movement, not to mention the sour taste of being exhausted.
Britain, which had lost all its blood in World War I, could only cut off its flesh and blood, and had to release a lot of power to the people and allow some colonies to become independent.
Of course, it is not just the United Kingdom that is unlucky.
Old European colonial countries such as France, Portugal, and Belgium all suffered heavy losses and their strength was greatly reduced in the "colonial independence movement" in the 1920s and 1930s.
Anyway, before the outbreak of World War II, although Britain's national strength was still among the top five in the world, it was already far behind the four latecomers, China, Germany, and the Soviet Union.
So now the United States must devote most of its energy to Germany and the Soviet Union, and it can no longer control South Africa, which is not its own territory.
For Japan, the time now is undoubtedly the best.
If they don't take a bite out of their old rivals while they are unable to take care of them, are they still Japanese?
"However, the Japanese's excuse this time was too lame.
They actually claimed that South Africa kidnapped their officers in order to steal their secrets," Gu Xiaolu said with a strange expression.
She also knew the history of the original time and space.
Seeing this familiar style of painting, she was really dumbfounded.
"Oh" Wen Desi looked at the situation with some curiosity.
Looking at it, his face was embarrassed.
"This is truly Japanese.
It still has the same recipe and a familiar taste."
Wen Desi said this for the second time today.
"Can't they think of some other excuse?"
Wen Desi was really dumbfounded.
Maybe each nation has its own characteristics in its behavior.
For example, the emperor of France always likes to play the trick of being elected to power.
This is the case with one, three and now six.
The Japanese also like to play this "looking for the missing" trick as an excuse to start a war.
This is not only the "July 7 Incident" in the original time and space, they also played it in the Tang Dynasty, and it was a trick against North Korea. , and then the Ming Dynasty also played it, also against North Korea.
Similar to this is the German hobby.
They always like to "make soap out of things they hate."
During World War II in that time and space, the Jews they hated were made into "Jewish soap."
In the century, they continued to make soap.
Turn pesky hairy crabs into “crab soap” and more
Xin Jie smiled and said: "Mr.
Wen, don't say that yet.
That Staff Tsuji's trick was quite similar.
His own legs were broken, hahaha."
"This is really not a trick.
Staff Tsuji didn't know about it.
The Japanese operation was very confidential.
A mid-level officer like him didn't know about it.
He was used as a gunman.
To hide the enemy, you must first hide it.

They did a good job in keeping their own people alive, so the parties involved in the Komatiput kidnapping case acted in their true colors."
Huo Jinsi said with a smile: "To be honest, the Japanese script was pretty good this time.
It still seems stiff, but it’s much better than before.”
"Hahahaha" everyone laughed.
Indeed, it is probably because the new socialist Japan purged a large number of old officers and promoted a new generation of officers, especially staff officers.
Many of them studied in China or were taught by Chinese instructors.
Therefore, their planning is not as good as the Showa staff from the original time and space, and is much more rigorous.
For example, this time, they first concocted a fake secret that did not exist, and asked Staff Officer Tsuji Masanobu to carry it with him, and asked him to sneak into Komatiput to contact the non-existent informant, and told him that this operation was very important. .
The unknowing Staff Officer Tsuji passed by without knowing it, and then the South African intelligence department was immediately notified through an informant.
As a result, Staff Officer Tsuji suffered a tragedy.
After being caught by the South Africans, xxoo felt great.
His subsequent escape was a complete accident, but it also made the scene more realistic.
As for the flaws, don't worry about it at all.
There are definitely flaws in this kind of thing, but what Japan wants now is just an excuse.
By the time South Africa finds out the flaws, it won't matter whether it's true or not.
Just like the "big killer" that the United States found in Iraq in the original time and space, it no longer matters whether they found a "big killer" or "washing powder."
Japan has a small mainland area, and there are a lot of earthquakes, volcanoes and typhoons.
It is really a very difficult place.
Therefore, their desire to expand their living space is extremely strong.
In this plane, due to the existence of Wen Desi, the China and North Korea they initially set are no longer realistic, and even Southeast Asia has no chance.
There was a bright future in another village.
During World War I, due to the development of the war situation, Britain and France were eager to seize cannon fodder, and finally gave them the opportunity to expand in Africa.
The old Japanese Empire relied on selling its body and meat to the British and French, and at the cost of millions of lives, it finally acquired Portuguese East Africa as its first African territory.
Afterwards, they acquired Rhodesia and Malawi from the British, expanding their African territory to six times the size of the mainland.
However, this vast and fertile territory did not satisfy Japan.
Instead, it stimulated their desires, making Japan's appetite for territory seem even more greedy.
This has nothing to do with what political system they adopt or what ideology they accept.
It is all about interests.
Although the new Japanese government is also ambitious, they are different from the red deer in old Japan.
Even if they think about it in their hearts, they act very cautiously.
To be picky, Japan did not directly target the three West African states of the United States and East Africa supported by Germany.
Instead, it first targeted the weaker British and French colonies, and South Africa was their number one target.
By last year, Japan's relocation work had basically ended, and production in Western Japan had fully recovered.
With China's support behind it, there was no need to worry.
Currently, they have an overwhelming advantage in southern Africa.
The only competitor is the United States, but because it has to fight with the Soviet Union and Germany in Europe, North Africa and other places, it has no time to take into account Japan's expansion.
This is simply a good situation, not a small good, but a great one.
Under this situation, the Japanese will move forward determinedly regardless of whether they are facing mountains of swords, seas of fire, or cliffs.
The Japanese were determined not to hesitate to fight.
However, military action is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
It often requires countless trade-offs.
After all, war is a last resort.
No one wants to go to war if the benefits can be obtained through negotiation.
In July last year, the Japanese also tried to negotiate with South Africa on South Africa's border disputes and Japan's rights and interests in South Africa.
Japanese Foreign Minister Yoyo Matsuoka made a series of demanding demands to the South African Ambassador to Japan Keitel, which not only required South Africa to give up a large area of "disputed land", but also required South Africa to open immigration to Japan, establish military bases and special rights and other issues .

Such a rude request naturally made the South African government furious
