At the same time, the Chinese team's progress in the North Korean battle has not relaxed at all. For every Chinese soldier, they will not feel tired because of the year-long battle, nor will they fight passively because of the news of peace talks. Under the influence of the soaring nationalism across the country, the soldiers are eager to fight to Tokyo.

In their opinion, they are completing a feat, which is to change the history of the humiliation of the Chinese nation in the past hundred years, and to promote national prestige and restore the status of a great power. In particular, they have long received lessons from the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda of the Army, and have a deep understanding of the crimes committed by the mere Japanese Japanese and Japanese on Chinese land, so they have a revenge mentality on the battlefield.

Nationalism and revenge mentality, the two extreme emotions, became the most effective lubricants for war machines. Before the formal negotiations, the National Defense Forces and the 38th Division had already broken through the second line of defense of the Japanese army. The remnants of the 10th Division stationed on the second line of defense had no way to escape. Except for a small number of people who died to the end, most of the rest surrendered to the Chinese team.

And just the day before the Japanese army's second line of defense was broken, the Battle of Chunchuan officially began.

After five days of deployment, the 33rd Division, 34th Division, 35th Division and 36th Division of the First Northern Army completed the strategic siege of Chunchuan's periphery, and then began the siege operations in an orderly manner.

The 37th Division in Pyongyang and the five Marine Brigades in Shariyuan also moved to the front line at the end of March, controlling two-thirds of the railway line between Pyongyang and Seoul along the way, and their target was Kaesong. As long as Kaesong was taken, the Zhong** team could almost control the entire Pinghan Line railway, and from a strategic cross-sectional perspective, it was completely on par with the East Road battlefield.

As China presses step by step on the Korean battlefield, Japan's momentum at the negotiating table becomes weaker and weaker, and the Japanese government has to begin to consider accepting the conditions offered by China. Just exchange for temporary peace with such a huge sacrifice. Does Japan hope to restore its national strength during this period? Furthermore, once Taiwan loses its resource territory and economic springboard, Japan's development will always be subject to foreign countries.

For this reason, the Japanese cabinet held discussion meetings every day to discuss how to make a decision, and the entire Japanese political circle was busy with this matter. At the same time, because of the humiliating conditions raised by China, democrats and the general public increasingly believed that this war should not have been launched, and public opinion began to accuse the Japanese warlords of the power.

The political forces of Japanese military factions became increasingly unpopular, and the political forces of democratic factions took the opportunity to attack, and soon warlords from all over the country fell into political trough.

As time goes by April, the Allies camp gradually begins to pay attention to the peace talks between Japan and China.

Although Britain no longer has any hope for Japan, once Japan surrenders to China, it will be the first country in the Allied Forces to surrender to the Allied Forces, which will have an extremely serious blow to the morale of the entire Allied Forces.

Of course, Western countries must admit that Japan has restrained a lot of China's troops on the Asian battlefield. If peace talks between China and Japan reach a peace talk, China's expansion in Asia will inevitably boost momentum. At that time, Britain and France's colonies in the Far East and even the Middle East will be subject to major threats.

However, due to the fact that it had given up its economic aid to Japan before and severely denounced Japan's incompetence diplomatically, the British government divided the matter into two factions with different opinions.

Political forces headed by the Chancellor of the Finance Minister, Foreign Affairs Minister and Navy Minister believe that they should not interfere with the peace talks between Japan and China. During the Sino-Japanese peace talks, all resources should be concentrated to expand the French Legion and Indian army, and the British Empire and its affiliated forces will complete the suppression of China.

However, the Minister of the Army, Minister of the Colonial Management Department and officials of the Whitehad, some countries' Ministry of Defense, believed that at this time, they should support Japan, at least provide necessary support, to ensure that Japan retains its identity as the Allies' camp even after surrender. Especially the Minister of the Army, after his continuous contact with Australia for half a month, he always agreed that the French Legion launched an attack from North Korea. On the one hand, it had advantages in favorable bases, logistics support and front-line battlefield strategy implementation, and on the other hand, it was the most powerful support for Japan, forming a mutual axis between the east and west ends in the overall situation of the world war.

On April 6, British Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquis convened a parliament, and King George V visited the Parliament to attend the meeting. The British government could no longer stand stalemate because of different political opinions. It must determine the political attitude towards all Asian affairs as soon as possible, and then arrange for the French Legion to go on a war. To this end, the Prime Minister and the King decided to vote to clarify the political opinions of the British government.

According to the procedures before the Congress vote, political parties and ministers of various ministries will give speeches on the situation to express their views on the matter and why they insist on political opinions. In fact, this is nothing more than some clichés, because before the Congress is held, everyone knows why each other has their own opinions.

However, just when the Minister of Commerce came out to give a speech, he put forward another opinion. He believed that Britain could take advantage of the French Legion's opportunity to go to North Korea to expand its power in Japan, and even interfere with Japanese internal government affairs, thereby achieving power expansion. Once the French Legion's battle goes smoothly, Japan's current situation will rely more on Britain in the future, and the benefits Britain will gain from it self-evident.

The speech of the Minister of Commerce immediately attracted the attention of many parliamentarians. Most of the members present retained the Victorian world hegemony and naturally became very interested in the "expansion of power".

All morning was speeches from political forces. During the afternoon break, the House of Lords and the House of Commons held discussions and officially began to vote on policies on Asia. In just one hour, most of the members of parliament agreed to the French army's dispatch of troops to North Korea and started the war in the name of assisting Japan, but the previous decision was still retained. Britain had already given Japan a lot, and now even if it was not given anything, Japan must provide assistance free of charge.

That night, British Prime Minister Asquis signed a formal military order, authorizing the French Legion to fight at any time.

The French Legion and Mantes Naval Base determined the combat plan as early as March 30, and the final combat plan was still to attack from North Korea. Although Major General Joseph and General French believed that troops should be sent before April, unfortunately, due to the delay in communication and telegrams and the time required for the assembly of American merchant ships, they had to be delayed until early April.
