Chapter 114: Tough attitude
Equipment is a major factor in the combat effectiveness of an army, and the soldiers who use the equipment are even more important. The Germans have long seen the quality of Chinese soldiers. During the European War, the opponents of the expeditionary force were the elite of the German army at that time.
Moreover, the Chinese are ashamed to surrender. Even if they are heavily besieged, they can often persist in fighting for a long time, and some troops can even fight to the last man. This is Eastern and Western literature
This is a manifestation of cultural differences. Of course, it does not mean that there are relatively few Chinese soldiers who did not surrender. During the European War, a French unit lost more than half of its battles, and few did not collapse. However, the Chinese army was often able to
The persistence of the battle resulted in more than 70% to 80% losses. The popular view in Britain and France was that the Chinese did not dare to surrender easily because they were in a foreign country and did not understand the language. The Germans sneered at this view, calling it the self-justification of a coward.
All in all, when Hitler determined that the combat effectiveness and industrial capabilities of the Chinese Army were not inferior to Germany, a heart that was said to have a good impression of the Chinese began to stir, and the idea of an alliance between China and Germany became stronger!
The visit of the entire Sino-German delegation lasted for half a month. Dönitz stayed on the submarine for ten days. After leaving with unsatisfied feelings, he immediately suggested to his superiors that he must get a Chinese submarine. This kind of submarine can easily be used on the submarine.
Wandering in the ocean for fifty or even sixty days, 20 torpedoes can sink ten transport ships if you are unlucky, but if you are lucky, it is hard to say. It is not unheard of for a submarine to sink a battleship.
Putting aside the exchanges between China and Germany, after seeing Fang Jianxiong's "rudeness and madness", the US presidential envoy Hopkins immediately began to collect intelligence and report it to the country. Under normal circumstances, Fang Jianxiong's identity is unknown.
It was time to say such outrageous things, but he just said it. This guy who can be identified as a dictator was actually ready to overturn the table. This is a terrible thing. For the current President of the United States, Roosevelt, it can be said that this is a terrible thing.
A disaster.
Hopkins convened a meeting with Hurley and Fisher to study what to do about this situation. It was obvious that no one had any good ideas. When the scene was a bit dull, Major General Stilwell, the "old friend" of the Chinese people, suggested: "Isn't that right?
You can consider taking some actions to make that bastard realize the fact that the United States does not have no other choice." Although this suggestion is not stated clearly, the meaning is very clear. You can consider supporting Japan, which is struggling in time and space.
.
"Can I take this as a joke?" Fisher asked without hesitation. Stilwell shrugged and said, "It's just a suggestion!" Fisher sneered: "No matter what the U.S. government is prepared to do,
How to contain China through Japan. We must not let the Chinese get any excuses! Otherwise, it may make things worse! The top priority is that we need to find out what Fang Jianxiong’s attitude is towards the United States. I personally don’t think this bastard will
Abandon relations with the United States."
Hurley said: "What do you mean? Is he pretending to be putting pressure on the United States in a weak and rude manner?"
Hopkins said calmly: "This is a very clear thing! Fang Jianxiong wants to swing between China and Germany to maximize interests. According to my judgment, it is Germany that will be abandoned in the end!" Fisher's words should be said.
After waking up Hopkins, he quickly became sober, and then calmly analyzed Fang Jianxiong's purpose in his mind.
Bang bang bang! Fisher clapped softly and said: "I must applaud this wonderful speech! Mr. Special Envoy, your analysis is so wise and admirable!" Everyone's eyes were focused on Fisher.
At this time, Fisher smiled leisurely and said: "I clearly remember that when the war broke out in Europe, Fang once said to me: Germany's geography determines Germany's fate. Unless Germany and Russia are allies,
Otherwise, Germany would have no possibility of winning the war. Bismarck did a great job in this regard!"
"What if China and Germany form an alliance and defeat the Soviet Union first? I think Britain and France would be very happy to see this!" Stilwell frowned and spoke again. This question is quite insightful. The problem is that there is cooperation between China and Germany.
Is it possible for the Soviet Union? Just such a sentence made everyone's nerves tense again. According to Fang Jianxiong's past style, the probability of this happening is still very high. In history, Tsarist Russia occupied a lot of territory in China, although later
Taking advantage of the Russian Civil War, China took back all the lost land and earned some interest. However, as two countries with large territories in the world, they are still not weak militarily, and their borders are still the largest in the world.
The longest. It seems that these two countries want to kill each other, right?
Across the Pacific Ocean, the United States does not want to see the emergence of a powerful country. China and the Soviet Union are next to each other. No country likes the emergence of a powerful country around it, right? If there is really a chance to kill the Soviet Union, Fang Jianxiong will definitely not let it go, and vice versa.
Likewise.
The opponents of a resource-rich country like the United States are destined to be resource-rich countries like China and the Soviet Union. Not to mention that China is a country with a large population. This is too great a threat to the United States and an even greater threat to the Soviet Union. From then on, China is also a country with a large population.
Geographically, the United States is destined to be able to handle it with ease. These principles support Stilwell's views from some aspects.
"An alliance between China and Germany? It's unlikely, but there is a tacit understanding between China and Germany, and it's very possible to threaten the Soviet Union from both sides." Hopkins basically denied this possibility, and finally made the final decision: "According to what everyone analyzed just now,
Record it and sort it out and report it to the country. Our main job right now is to figure out what this bastard Fang Jianxiong wants? Damn it!"
"An alliance between China and Germany? No, no, no! This has absolutely no future!" Fang Jianxiong smiled and shook his head. Gu Weijun was deeply puzzled and said: "President, what is your basis? Germany is rearming its armaments, and the military has also spent a lot of money.
, promised to transfer some technical equipment to Germany. Since there is no alliance, why should we transfer these advanced technical equipment?"
"The world war is about attrition! That is to say, the overall national strength determines the outcome of the war! Unless a weapon emerges that makes both warring parties use it as a weapon, the cruel war will stop before one side is defeated. Although Germany's industry is very
It is strong and has a strong military. But Germany's geographical location is too poor and its resources are scarce. The United States has the best geographical location, and the United States is also the world's largest industrial power. We want to form an alliance. We also seek an alliance with the United States.
No matter what, it was never Germany's turn. As for the Soviet Union, China and the Soviet Union were natural enemies! For China, the only purpose of the next world war was to dismember the Soviet Union! The best result would be to turn the Soviet Union into a bunch of small countries!
Ten or more." This is the first time Fang Jianxiong mentioned this to Gu Weijun. As the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Gu Weijun has never had a clear understanding of Fang Jianxiong's strategic vision. It is not that Fang Jianxiong is on guard against Gu Weijun, but that the current Republic of China is not the rabbit era.
There are intelligence officers all over the country. It would be good if only Fang Jianxiong knew about such things as national strategy. But he must tell Gu Weijun now, otherwise he would be disrespected.
Gu Weijun automatically ignored the words about the ultimate weapon, and then began to think about the rest of Fang Jianxiong's words. "What do you mean, we will definitely have a war with the Soviet Union in the future? In this case, wouldn't it be more beneficial to advance with Germany and the East?"
"You are right, but once China and Germany form an alliance, Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union will inevitably come together. This result makes me shudder. The current economic crisis in the United States has improved, but it has not yet returned to the level before the economic crisis. Even so, the industrial capacity of the United States
It has also left us far behind. China's steel production is only the second in the world. Once the war breaks out, the United States, with its national war machine activated, will simply be unimaginably powerful." Fang Jianxiong could only do this.
You can't say that like General Gu Weijun, labor and capital are time travellers. The U.S. imperialists were like dumplings when they exploded aircraft carriers in World War II. The U.S. imperialists casually produce tens of thousands of aircraft and tens of thousands of tanks every year. China's current industrial capabilities are beyond the pale.
a year
It only has 20,000 aircraft, and its shipbuilding capabilities are still several times lower than those at the peak of American imperialism. In short, it is incomparable. China started too late. It has spent more than 20 years using all its efforts to achieve success.
achieve these achievements.
"So how do you plan to handle Sino-German relations?" Gu Weijun didn't waste any time thinking. Anyway, Fang Jianxiong made the decision. At the national strategic level, Gu Weijun only worked for Fang Jianxiong. The cabinet should just follow closely. Fang Jianxiong's strategic vision
, has been fully proven over the past twenty years.
"In the short term, China's foreign policy will still focus on non-alignment. As for Germany, sooner or later it will turn Europe upside down. When the time comes, let the German tanks run rampant in Europe and let Britain, France and the United States have a headache. We will hold back the Soviet Union.
That’s it. If possible, to force the Soviet Union and Germany to form an alliance, it would be best to add Japan and Italy." Fang Jianxiong looked forward to the future.
At the same time, I was also worried. Thinking about the alliance between the Soviet Union and Germany is a brain-wrecking thing. Once these two extremely cruel countries on land formed an alliance, it would be really terrible. Who knew that a world war would start?
What's going on? Fortunately, labor and management are well prepared and launched the "Terminator" plan ten years ago. It will just depend on who succeeds first.
"Japan and the Soviet Union form an alliance?" Gu Weijun felt that this idea was not crazy! "Why is Japan involved?"
"The possibility of an alliance between Japan and the Soviet Union is very high! The Japanese military has always been dominated by a bunch of gamblers and lunatics! In order to alleviate the pressure caused by the economic crisis, the so-called grand goal of dominating the world has made its debut. In recent years, Japan
It’s not that you haven’t seen the crazy level of armaments. As far as the navy is concerned, warships are being built on most slipways. Even under the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty, Japan has built many warships. The Japanese Navy has built a lot of warships.
The treaty heavy cruiser is not willing to give up resources to the army to build tanks and artillery. Japan's resources are inferior to Germany's and it has long relied on imports. How can it get so much foreign exchange? Look at the country and various parts of Southeast Asia, how many Japanese women are there
Where did all the foreign exchange for selling one’s body go? This nation is so crazy, nine out of ten women who sold themselves felt proud that they had made a small contribution to the prosperity of the empire.”
When Gu Weijun heard this, he thought that Japan is crazy, and it would be scary for you to go crazy, okay? But thinking about it carefully, Fang Jianxiong was telling the truth. Japan is indeed a special country, or it can be said that it is very hard-working.
In recent years, Japan
During the economic downturn, a large number of Japanese went to Nanyang, and then sent a large number of Japanese women to Nanyang to work as prostitutes. In China, I dare not say that there are more than a dozen Japanese-run brothels in the eight alleys. Many members of Congress
, I frequented it frequently.
"I know, it seems that you have determined that the war is not far away. It seems that we need to speed up the improvement of some laws and regulations to ensure that the national economy can focus on the war during the war. But now in the Congress, there is a sound of peace. It has been more than 20 years.
There is peace and quiet in the country. If you really want to push for some relevant bills and allocate resources to the military, there will be great resistance. Even within the Republican Party, peace is the mainstream." Gu Weijun nodded, he is a smart man. While expressing his headache, he hoped that the party would
Give some support from the President.
Since the Siberian War, the Republic of China has been singing a high-pitched tone of peace both externally and internally. The number of troops has been cut, and the approach taken is to make up for quantity with quality. At its peak, the army had 100 A divisions and 30 cavalry divisions.
The latest information from the Ministry of National Defense shows that civilians
The Chinese Army currently has fifty A-type infantry divisions, eight mechanized corps, and 13 independent cavalry divisions. While the army has been disarmament, the air force has expanded. There are currently 20 fighter wings and 10 strategic bomber wings.
Ten transport aircraft wings. Not counting naval aviation, air force
The total number of military aircraft of all types is more than 3,000. The number of the navy has not changed much, but the speed of replacing old ones with new ones has accelerated. There is also a new thing called the Coast Guard. What is really huge is the reserve air divisions in various places, which Fang Jianxiong vigorously promoted
system. Every country in the country
Each county has a reserve infantry regiment. Once a war breaks out, local conscripts are recruited to fill the shelf. This is a newly formed infantry regiment. That is to say, as long as general mobilization is implemented, the National Defense Forces can be deployed within three months at the earliest.
Three thousand new infantry regiments can be raised.
This idea of always being ready for war has always occupied an important position in Fang Jianxiong's heart. The country imports a large number of machine tools every year and stores them in caves. A large number of bolt-type rifles are replaced and stored in warehouses after maintenance. The country
The strategic reserve of 20 million tons of oil is guaranteed at all times. Even though the Congress of the Republic of China is clamoring for peace all day long, no Republican congressman will propose a reduction in military expenditures. It will be a shame to ensure that there is no increase.
The United States responded quickly. Roosevelt called Hopkins immediately to confirm his conclusion and asked Hopkins to try not to anger Fang Jianxiong, but not to make too many concessions. If necessary
