    In the interwar period, the British Empire's military strategy in the Far East was degraded by a lack of attention and funding. The original plan of the British was to anchor a powerful fleet at the Singapore Naval Base. In the event of any war, it could defend British territories in the Far East and the shipping routes to Australia.

    But in fact, when the Malay Peninsula and Singapore were threatened, the Royal Navy ** team that was supposed to appear in time never appeared. Until the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939, there was still no sign that the fleet would be deployed. <>

    Since the beginning of World War II, the Middle East and the Soviet Union have been given greater attention by the British, and priority has been given to the distribution of manpower and materials. The Malays hoped for an air force with a strength of 300 to 500 fighters, but it never materialized. The British troops stationed on the Malay Peninsula were defeated by the Japanese army when they faced the invading Japanese army equipped with more than 200 tanks, but found that the defenders did not even have a single tank.

    After the defeat of France by Germany, Britain could no longer rely on the French navy to prevent the Italian navy from entering the Atlantic from the western Mediterranean, and instead sent the British Mediterranean fleet to reinforce Malaya. The success of Britain's defensive strategy against Malaya depended on two basic assumptions: First, the British army had sufficient early warning of a Japanese attack on Malaya and could immediately reinforce it.

    Second, the United States was able to assist Britain after the outbreak of the war. By the end of 1941, these two assumptions were no longer valid. <>

    The British had a plan to preemptively invade southern Siam (present-day Thailand) and preemptively destroy the Japanese landing site, which was named Operation Matador, but this operation was never carried out.

    During World War II, Southeast Asia and Britain had different combat effectiveness, so the performance of the British army was judged to be like two people.

    During World War II, in Southeast Asia and Britain, the British army behaved "like two people" because their two countries had different combat effectiveness.

    The main reason why the performance of the British army is so different is that the combat effectiveness of the two countries is not the same.

    Because the combat effectiveness of Southeast Asia and Britain was different, the British army was shown according to their battles.

    I think it's because of the difference in combat effectiveness between the two countries that the performance of the British army is so different.

    In order to avoid the "danger of fighting another war", Churchill also announced the closure of the Burma corridor for three months, regardless of the needs of China and other countries in the War of Resistance Against Japan. This lack of links actually laid the foundation for Britain's subsequent defeat in Southeast Asia.

    If the British army had been wiped out in World War II, the tide of the war would have been very likely to change。Because according to the combat strength of the German army, it was almost to the British mainland at that time, and this is how the air battle of Great Britain broke out, and if the air war of Great Britain failed, Britain should be gone.

    It could affect the population of Britain, and could even lead to the defeat of Britain and its forced surrender.

    First of all, so many soldiers are gone, and when the time comes, if the population wants to recover, it is estimated that it will not be so simple.

    In addition, you must know that when fighting, people are the most important battle**.

    If the whole army is annihilated, then, there is a lack of soldiers, and once Germany wants to storm Britain, once the German army lands, it is estimated that Britain will be abolished.

    The danger is simply incomparable, the British army itself is inferior to the German army, and the equipment is not as advanced as the German army, if the Ying army is completely annihilated, then the German army will dominate Europe after fighting France and crossing the English Channel.

    If the British army was completely wiped out on the European continent in World War II, it could be said to be a devastating blow to Britain and could cause Britain to become a developing country.

    If the British army in World War II dies, then Britain's elite labor force will be greatly reduced, social development will stagnate, and the economy will regress, at least for a few decades or so!

    This is not objective, especially in the African theater of war, its role is still very large, but it is not good in Europe compared with the United States.

Call Your Name Softly" is right. It seems that it is not a movie interlude, but a song to commemorate the unsung heroes who died in the Great Patriotic War of the former Soviet Union.
