Chapter 780 The Sore Of The Empire (8)

At the end of May, the Saudi Hufufu Air Base was dry and the fine sand was rolled up by wind and sand, making it difficult to breathe. Thousands of soldiers who arrived in the early stage were adapting to the local climate, and they devoted themselves to the reinforcement and greening of the surrounding deserts. With their efforts, the deserts around Hufufu have been separated into millions of small squares by hay, and sand dates have also been planted in some places. The Ougail freshwater processing plant also started operating three years ago, and the large gas refrigerator purchased from the United States also slightly alleviated the soldiers' discomfort and trouble.

The Garwar Oilfield in the distant sand sea is still increasing production day and night. Although it has been half a month since Singapore was occupied by the Japanese army, the refinery did not reduce production due to the safety of the waterway. Instead, it took advantage of the opportunity that China and Japan had not yet officially started a war and increased the domestic oil transportation. Even the A-shaped fleet that returned home was stuffed with 310,000 barrels of finished gasoline and diesel.

The second batch of fleets of B will also bring 107,000 barrels back to China in four days, and will be drawn from the north of the country and carry a large number of spare parts, ammunition and other materials that can be equipped with a military. The third batch of fleets of C, composed of 113 freighters, has also met with fleet A in the Sunda Strait on the third day after Singapore fell, and entered the Indian Ocean under the protection of the 22nd fleet and 15 territorial sea-class anti-submarine frigates sent by the country. Although the Soviet Union has been accusing the Japanese Navy of not fulfilling the treaty, Japan is most anxious at present how to overcome the long supply line and transport the rich materials and wealth obtained from the south back to China, so it can only allow the fleet of C to enter the Indian Ocean.

On the fifth day after the war in Singapore, the Guards Division that attacked Malaya and the 17th Division arriving in the Andaman Islands. Under the command of Masaharu Honma, the 33rd Division started attacking Myanmar from Kyauktan and Shiddon 6 respectively. After the war signals from China and the United States were issued, the Japanese top leaders were indeed very worried. In order to end the main war in Southeast Asia as soon as possible, they turned it into a propeller of Japanese combat chariots as soon as possible. After the Japanese army landed on the 6th, they implemented the inhuman three-light massacre policy. More than 10,000 people were executed in Yangon alone. Faced with the Japanese army's three-light policy, the British-Burma coalition forces suffered heavy losses and could only fight and retreat to Yunnan, China.

On May 15, the Japanese Navy also sent a naval team of less than 300 people to board Solong Port and officially announced the annexation of the entire Guinea Island.

At the same time, in order to speed up the southward journey, Japanese Foreign Minister Hirota Hirota personally went to Bangkok to meet with Thai minister Luan Piwang, and persuaded Thailand to dispatch an army to cooperate with the Japanese army's attack on Myanmar. Under his lobbying, he used to help build warships and provide loans as bait. After promising to incorporate Cambodia and Laos into Thailand, the Thai army, who had always hated France and hoped to recover the ceded land, began to mobilize troops to Cambodia, trying to restore the territory of the Greater Thailand period. After learning about it, the French Far East Army also began to mobilize. However, the arrogant and arrogant French Governor of East India took the initiative to reject China's opinion of sending troops to help in accordance with the Sino-French South China Sea Agreement because he was afraid that the Chinese 6th Army would enter the controlled area, so he voluntarily refused China's opinion on sending troops to help in accordance with the Sino-French South China Sea Agreement.

For Britain, this was the darkest month ever! Because Japan not only swept across the entire British colony of Southeast Asia, it also dispatched 6 naval teams and two teams, with a total of 5,838 people rushing to Chittagong and Kolkata under the cover of aircraft carriers and tanks to establish outposts, cutting off the British army's route to support Myanmar from India, which means that the war officially burned into the Indian Plain. The rich India made the Japanese army red. Kolkata alone seized the equipment of three divisions that the British army had no time to withdraw. It is said that the Japanese army also found hundreds of tons of valuables such as gold and silver from surrounding temples, banks and wealthy families. For this reason, the Navy also specially arranged for the USS Miaogao heavy cruiser to rest and recuperate at Andaman Blair Port to carry out transportation missions.

While Myanmar started, the 13th Japanese Division arrived in Sandakan and Manado. In addition, the 7th Division of the Sarawak, the 16th Division of the East Borneo, the 31st Division of the East Timor and the 6th Navy team, a total of 10,000 troops were across the sea from Mindanao, the Philippines. The wealth of Southeast Asia made Japan jealous and the pressure was increasing. On the one hand, the whole ship was gold, silver and urgently needed raw materials for the whole ship, and on the other hand, there was a signal of constant war between China and the United States. In addition, the route and supply problems became more and more serious, and the top Japanese leaders had to prepare to seize Guam and

The Philippines’ plan to prepare for combat against China. At the same time, in order to alleviate the lack of manpower in the vast occupied areas, the Japanese senior officials agreed with the opinions of Masashiro Banhuan, and asked the southbound troops to form a puppet army, coerced the factory to start construction in the occupied areas, and also recruited 10 brigades from Southeast Asian Japanese people to monitor the puppet army and manage the factory. Finally! Considering that the Third Sino-Japanese War is getting closer, Japan, which has not yet been able to enjoy the wealth of South China Sea, had to grit its teeth and mobilize a total of 10 divisions again, of which 8 were South Korean puppet army divisions, plus 26 teams of the Shanghai Army, the total strength of the Japanese ground troops has exceeded one million.

The war in Southeast Asia is getting stronger and stronger, and the Japanese army swept across Southeast Asia like locusts. Britain had to recruit soldiers from Commonwealth countries such as Canada and Australia, and also used India's human resources to try to form 30 British-Indian divisions. However, the plan was fully opposed by the Congress Party. Nehru publicly stated that the Indians should not serve the colonists, but should instead use the opportunity to fight for India's independence. This speech made the British Empire smell a trace of gloom. The largest party in South Asia's sub-major 6, and the controller of India's largest armed forces besides the United Kingdom, is also going to turn to Japan?

The chaos in India also made the world turn its attention to the largest country in Asia. Faced with the rapid decay, everyone knows that Beijing is the only one who can turn the tide at this time!

"Principal, Yangon is lost, Hirota Hirota has also gone to Kolkata."

In the spacious hangar, four high-power ventilation blowers made a buzzing noise. The ground mechanics from the air force who came to China were assembling the entire row of Snake B fighter jets. There were also many officers sent by the Saudi Air Force to intern and observe next to them.

Although the performance of the Snake B fighter after the motive has been greatly improved, it has gradually fallen behind before the ever-changing aviation technology in China. However, this out-of-the-range model still makes the Saudi Air Force, which is still flying "white shoulder carving", envious. Therefore, when Jiang Fangzhen saw several Saudi pilots who almost drooled a little when they explained, he couldn't help but smile.

Turning his head to look at Bai Chongxi and Zhang Zhidan who came to report the war, he didn't look after receiving the telegram. After putting it in his pocket, he asked, "Zhidan, is it okay?"

"A little injury is fine. Look..."

Seeing Zhang Zhidan deliberately running two steps and preparing to jump up to touch the bulletproof hatch cover of the fighter plane, Jiang Fangzhen quickly stopped with a smile: "Okay. OK. You are too old, don't dodge your waist."

"See what you said, I'm still an officer at least."

"You are an officer, but you haven't been holding a gun for many years? Don't move! Let me see." Because you are in the Middle East, the troops are equipped with knee-length shorts and tropical military uniforms, so you can clearly see where Zhang Zhidan was shot. After seeing clearly that the wound was already very faint, Jiang Fangzhen felt relieved: "I recovered well, and I can go back with confidence."

"The teacher is going to return to China? When will he leave? Why don't I tell the students earlier? I'm ready." Before Wusheng Pass, if it weren't for Jiang Fangzhen's keen eyes to recognize talents, Bai Chongxi might have missed the opportunity to enter the National Defense University, so even though he has been promoted to Lieutenant General, he has always regarded Jiang Fangzhen as his teacher.

"Don't learn all the messy things, what's here? Are you planning to ask me to bring a few basins of sand to grow vegetables?" Jiang Fangzhen smiled and waved his hand, and walked slowly towards the hangar gate, saying, "At the beginning of next month, the Asian Liberation Front Conference will be held in Lushan, so the President asked me to accompany Saudi Prince Aziz and Iranian Prince Pahlavi to Karachi tonight, and pick up Jinnah to go back together."

It was no secret for Chen Guofu to convene the Asian Liberation Front Conference in the name of the National Society. He was originally going to be placed in Shanghai, but considering the stimulation of Britain and France, he finally decided to place it in Lushan. The significance of this conference is very important. It is not so much about connecting with friends from all walks of life in Asia, but rather a signal to win over all countries and prepare to participate in the war.

Since Batavia's conspiracy to evacuate overseas Chinese, the National Defense Forces' "unenterprise" practice in Southeast Asia has been criticized, and many newspapers have even publicly cursed. Even the president has been scolded, and Britain and France have even spoken ill of each other. Now that they finally saw the dawn of taking action, Bai Chongxi was very excited. But when Jiang Fangzhen saw this, he deliberately mentioned: "Look at you, your mouth is opened on others' faces. If you say whatever you like, you can't stop this comment, how can you fight this battle?"

“What the principal taught is.”

Seeing that Bai Chongxi understood what he meant, Jiang Fangzhen didn't say much. Although he was one of the earliest students, he was a good military talent and smart person, and he had no problem commanding the front army in the theater, but when it came to the world strategy, the situation was always a little smaller. In order to mention this disciple, Jiang Fangzhen asked about the telegram just now.

Beijing sends briefings to various war zones and external teams every few days, so Bai Chongxi invaded the Japanese army and sent troops to Kolkata and Chittagong to tell the story. As for the news that Hirota Hirota went to Kolkata to secretly meet Nehru in the end, it was provided by Mu Meng and Chandra to the intelligence department, and the outside world did not know.

"Isn't this Fengwen at the foot of the mountain deliberately causing trouble? Slaughtering prisoners is the most unacceptable thing in Europe and the United States. Now, the US embargo has not been mentioned, but other troops have also been damaged." Bai Chongxi said that the Japanese army was also very angry after the massacre of Singapore, Malaya and Yangon. After all, there are many Chinese people living in Myanmar for generations.

"You are wrong. Yamashita Fengmo is not stupid, there is nothing he can do! If it is good, I'm afraid they are ready to attack the Philippines."

As soon as Jiang Fangzhen finished speaking, Zhang Zhidan nodded and said, "Yes. In order to avoid us, the Japanese army can only use the Rabaul long route. The logistics pressure is probably a bit unsustainable. Otherwise, how could they recruit soldiers from the local Japanese in Southeast Asia? But doing so can only alleviate and not really solve it, so the Philippines must fight. Taking the Philippines can shorten the range by half. If the Babuyan Islands can be occupied, the Bashi Channel will be cut off, and Ryukyu can form a blocked island chain that extends from Singapore to the Sea of ​​Japan, blocking our main fleet in the island chain! But doing this will take the risk of going to war with us, so Yamashita Fengwen deliberately launched a large-scale killing to deter the rebels and hopes to end the Battle of Southeast Asia as soon as possible.

Hirota Hirota is probably the same as his intention to win over Nehru now. The Congress party has a great influence in India. If Nehru falls to Japan, it is equivalent to cutting off the British and us. To shock the Southeast Asian and cut off India are all about to take over the Philippines and start a war with us."

"The Philippines and the United States have signed a protection agreement. Are you not afraid of us attacking the United States?" Bai Chongxi asked.

"So what can I do if I fear? The United States has serious isolation and Roosevelt has always hoped that we will go to war with Japan, so even if Japan occupies it, it is estimated that when the US Congress discusses it well, the Philippines will be gone eight generations long ago. Even if it can convince the people, plus mobilization or something, the US military will not be able to arrive in the Philippines by the end of next year. Moreover, if the United States wants to support the Philippines, it will first fight Rabaul. This place... Damn! There are probably more bunkers and fortifications in the northwest of us." In the end, Zhang Zhidan simply squirted out the country's curse. It's really that Rabaul was built by Japan! According to information, Japan almost completely covered the mountains near Rabaul.

The department dug out, with holes and bunkers everywhere, and there were complete sets of weapons production lines, and even submarines and destroyers. Even the Port of Moretsby in Guinea behind were full of fortifications and fortifications. Last time I returned to Beijing, Bingwen shook his head and said that because Japan succeeded early and had a large number of immigrants, it was not short of soldiers, so it was not enough to have 100,000 troops. If it didn't pay a big price, it wouldn't be able to bite it. So even if the United States wanted to help the Philippines, just Rabaul and Truk's sea bases and fortresses would be a headache. Moreover, the American people did not have the great sentiment to rescue the Philippines at all. Even if Guam was lost, it would probably be a toothache.

"Don't worry about the Nanyang side. No matter how powerful Japan is, it will be tied with the supply line. You should pay attention! Voroshilov has been inspecting the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea recently. Zhukov took the initiative to huddle in Herat to defend. Now Singapore is occupied by Japan again. Nehru has also publicly jumped out to oppose Britain. This means Stalin is going to take action!" Standing at the door of the hangar, looking at the three Yunba who were about to land, Jiang Fangzhen's face gradually became serious: "I must notify Li Jin as soon as possible and let the station stay

The Iranian teaching team is ready for trouble. As long as the Soviet army enters Iran, Japan will inevitably find ways to obstruct us from passing through the straits and delay time, so the B-shaped fleet may be the last fleet. The 4th Army is already in Kashgar, and the 18th Army is training in the desert in Xinjiang, and it will take at least two months to replenish you. This is the largest force the president can give you now. In terms of food logistics, we will try our best to purchase and transport it from the United States, and we must hold on until the strait is reopened!"

"Don't worry, principal, Chongxi will definitely complete the task."
Chapter completed!
