"Everything outside looks exactly the same as history." Chen Kan said as he looked at the report in his hand.

On July 7, 1937, Japan provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident and launched a full-scale war of aggression against China. On July 31, the "Letter to All Soldiers of the War of Resistance" was published, declaring that the war broke out in full swing.

On July 28, 1937, the Japanese army attacked Nanyuan, Beiping. The next day, Peiping fell. On the 30th, Tianjin fell. The general policy of "exchanging space for time and accumulating small victory into big victory" was officially introduced. At the suggestion of Chen Cheng, he took the initiative to open up a second battlefield in Shanghai.

Although secrets were leaked because of the lack of confidentiality work, this was a great strategic initiative. Japan sent troops to Shanghai, coupled with the sea and army disagreement within Japan, Shanghai delayed Japan for three months.

After the capture of Shanghai, Japan saw a large piece of fat meat, the capital Nanjing. It is naturally impossible not to eat such a piece of fat meat. Then Japan's strategic direction completely shifted, from the original north to south to east to west.

Although China paid a great price, it was a strategic victory. When the battle of Taiyuan started in Shanghai, the Battle of Taiyuan also took place at the same time. In mid-September 1937, the Battle of Taiyuan broke out.

In Chinese history, Taiyuan's position is crucial. After capturing Taiyuan, if the Japanese army concentrates its forces, there are three "roads to the sky" in front of the Japanese army.

The first is to go to Shaanxi, enter Sichuan, and complete the strategic encirclement. This is the way for Mongolia to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty and our party to win; the second is to enter Henan, go to Wuhan, divide China into two. This is the way for Zhao Kuangyin to unify the south and establish the Northern Song Dynasty. The third is to send troops to Hebei, go to Xuzhou, and go to Nanjing. This is the way for the Jingkang Incident and the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

Since ancient times, China has achieved unification. Except for the Ming Dynasty (because the Ming Dynasty is the only dynasty in Chinese history that unified China from south to north), there are basically these three paths. Although the specific paths are deviated, the general directions are not much different.

This is why it is a strategic victory to actively open up a second battlefield in Shanghai. China's step-like geographical environment determines that it is difficult to unify from east to west.

The Shanghai battlefield dispersed a large amount of Japanese troops, and at the same time gave China more opportunities to deploy troops. The time delayed for half a year. In February 1938, in order to achieve the attempt of the North China Front Army to go south and join the Central China Expeditionary Army, they could only fight another battle in Xuzhou, and Taierzhuang once again became a meat grinder.

Kaifeng fell on June 6, 1938. On June 9, the Yellow River Gardenkou burst its dam, directly blocking the Japanese army's southward with the power of nature.

This is what Chen Kan asked Wang Xiaohu before. The Gardenkou broke the dike, which was undoubtedly strategically successful and won time for the Wuhan War. But at this time, looking at this matter, Chen Kan didn't know how to evaluate it. The Yellow River broke the dike and at least millions of people died.

Chen Kan is now focused on Hong Kong and has no time to take care of other things. The situation in Hong Kong is very complicated. Unlike the real world, Hong Kong has become an internationally recognized permanent neutral city without defense.

This is similar to a permanent neutral country. Because Hong Kong is not a country, it is called a "permanent neutral city". Its meaning is actually similar to a permanent neutral country. It has been unanimously recognized by relevant countries including the United States, Japan, Britain, China, France and other related countries. In other words, there will be no war of defense of Hong Kong in the future, nor will there be such things during the Hong Kong-Japanese War.

The most famous permanent neutral country is Switzerland, which is at the center of Europe. Neither world war affects this country. During the Cold War, this country was respected by both sides.

There are many reasons why neutral countries or neutral countries exist, including political, economic and military influences. One of the reasons is that although everyone fights to the death, they still need a diplomatic platform and a place that everyone recognizes to sit down and chat.

Because of the establishment of this neutral city, the associations and gang organizations in Hong Kong have undergone tremendous changes. After all, it is a city, so there is still a certain amount of influence here so that the diplomatic stage can be launched. Therefore, Hong Kong underwent a major reshuffle in this year.

First of all, the three major forces completely disappeared, and the four Chaiwan crocodiles were not mentioned, and they had been destroyed long ago.

The Hong Gang, due to the death of Hong Tianba, was broken. Although Hong San is a top-notch master, he still can't stand the Hong Gang's place. In addition to the civil strife, the Hong Gang has been disbanded. Hong San took some of the former Hong Gang's brothers and left Hong Gang, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Guangfatang is the strangest thing. People don’t know what’s going on, but there is no news, just like people don’t know how it came from, and now they don’t know how it disappeared.

The disintegration of the three major forces did not allow other societies or gangs to take advantage of the situation to rise. On the contrary, the original societies and gangs gradually declined because of the entry of foreign forces.

The first thing that intervened was the Hong Kong government, which reclaimed the security rights of the original society and gangs. The police became representatives of British forces. Because they were not guarded, there was almost no army.

The second is Japan, Japan and Japan's largest force, the Rakshasa Sect entered Hong Kong, which is the largest smuggling business gang in Asia. The huge commercial profits allow the Hong Kong underground world to be used by him.

Furthermore, France did not intervene on its own. It mainly relies on the sects of Southeast Asians. Because they drive Southeast Asians, they are not very willing to do things for France, so they are just a tenacious one and have no big impact.

There is also China and the United States. With its strength and Chen Kan's skills, the Dragon and Tiger Sect has become a representative of Chinese forces. In addition, Chen Kan's business relationship has a good relationship with the upper class of the United States, so the United States directly built a network of relations on the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

Hong Kong has changed from being just a microcosm of Chinese martial arts to a microcosm of world martial arts. Because it involves more interests, there are more disputes, especially the Dragon and Tiger Sect and Rakshasa Sect.

The Rakshasa Sect mainly controls underground businesses. Many later societies cooperate with the Rakshasa Sect; the Dragon and Tiger Sect are just the opposite, doing open and upright business, and China and Japan are now in war, so these two forces must not be able to pee in the same pot, so disputes occur frequently.

However, so far, both sides are quite restrained. The Rakshasa Sect is because the stall is too large. It is not only in China, Hong Kong, but also in Southeast Asia. After all, the supply of underground business is a bit complicated, so the power is relatively scattered. The strength in Hong Kong is not strong enough. In addition, Chen Kan and Wudi tied, which made the Japanese quite afraid of Chen Kan and dare not force him too much.

The Dragon and Tiger Sect is because Chen Kan's strength has not been fully restored and can only be a deterrent existence, so it is relatively restrained and has not made much move.

However, with the gradual stability of the Rakshasa market and the recovery of Chen Kan's strength, both sides were confident...
