"Comrade Zhukov, what do you think of the newly established Huaxia... no... Zhongxia government?"

Inside the Kremlin, the top leader asked while pacing slowly.

Zhukov personally attended the ceremony held at Chengtianmen Square in Peking on September 1. He still remembers what happened that day, and it is still shocking to think about it now.

After hearing the question, he pondered for a moment before saying:

"In fact, since 1941, the situation in the East has begun to change in a completely new direction."

"The combat qualities displayed by Zhongxia soldiers and officers during Operation Uranus are impressive!"

"But this sight in the east made me realize that Jiangdong's ability is much more than that."

"Military ability is only one of his many abilities. His abilities in politics and other aspects are also very good."

Joseph (Stalin) and General Vasilev nodded unanimously, and the latter asked:

"Under the leadership of such a person, the new Chinese government's foreign strategy must be tough."

"During your time in Zhongxia, did you hear how the new government planned to participate in the world war?"

Zhukov glanced at the two of them and said in a solemn tone:

"I heard some rumors that many people in the new government are opposed to the expedition to Europe."

"The country has just completed peaceful reunification, and the most important thing now is to develop domestic productivity."

"Some representatives proposed to the government that they hope to withdraw one million troops to the east."

Vasilev and Joseph frowned at the same time.

When a new government was established, its domestic and foreign policies were bound to undergo some changes, but I didn't expect that these changes would directly affect the Great Patriotic War.

Seeing the worried look in their eyes, Zhukov added:

"However, these voices have been suppressed by Jiangdong. I'm afraid there won't be a withdrawal of troops in a short time!"

"When the celebration was held, some senior generals from the Central Xia's Western Expedition Army also returned to Peiping, and I had some brief contacts and conversations with them."

"Many of them grew up with Jiangdong and are the mainstay of the new army."

"During the conversation, I learned that most of these generals hope to continue fighting against the Third Reich."

"It's just that they hope to achieve more and greater benefits on the Western battlefield!"

Joseph stopped and said with a sneer:

"Sure enough, the benefits are lasting!"

Zhukov and Vasilev both looked at Joseph and listened to him continue:

"Comrade Zhukov, Comrade Vasilevsky, I am actually very unwilling to let the Chinese people participate in our Great Patriotic War!"

"As the war progresses, their appetite will definitely grow bigger and bigger, and it is likely to affect our layout of the entire Eastern Europe region!"

Zhukov and Vasilevsky understood what Joseph meant and nodded worriedly.

The three of them came to the situation map of the enemy and ourselves on the Eastern Front battlefield together, and Joseph asked:

"If Zhongxia withdraws its troops, can we defeat German fascism?"

Zhukov and Vasilevsky looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Without the participation of the Zhongxia people, there would still be a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves on the Eastern Front battlefield.

Joseph also knew this. His country's industry had been severely damaged.

He asked in retreat:

"Ignoring the Central Xia people for the time being, can the Red Army launch a counterattack, such as seizing Leningrad?"

Zhukov did not answer directly. He turned around and asked:

"Comrade Vasilevsky, do you think we have the ability to recapture Leningrad?"

Vasilevsky thought seriously for a moment before saying:

"The enemy's air force has suffered a fatal blow. In the battle to regain Leningrad, what we should worry about most is the armored forces on the ground!"

"Fortunately, our army already has multiple tank armies, which can stand alone!"

"Comrade Joseph, if you are determined, the troops will complete the mission!"

Blindly relying on allies will not work, especially when allies have ulterior motives.

Vasilevsky's answer brought a smile to Joseph's face.

"Very good, the General Staff will launch combat mobilization immediately."

"We want the world to see that even without the Zhongxia people, the Red Army soldiers can win a clean and decisive victory!"

"yes!!!"

…………

The capital of Japan.

The capital base has been paying attention to the establishment of the new government in China. When Emperor Hirohito of Japan heard that all the major countries of the world's anti-fascist allies had sent high-level representatives to participate in the celebration, the fear in his heart rose again.

Midsummer today is completely different from a few years ago.

They have officially completed the construction of their industrial base and have strong military capabilities.

After peaceful reunification, its territory expanded again, encompassing almost the entire East Asia region.

Five or six years ago, Japan once shouted the slogan of establishing a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

This was a great dream, but in the end they failed to succeed.

However, Zhongxia continued to grow in the anti-invasion war, and finally reached a height that the Japanese did not reach.

Now that a new government has been established, domestic forces have been unified, and hundreds of millions of people are united, Japan has no ability to compete with it.

Landing on the Japanese mainland and paying blood debts with blood are still the new government's program against Japan.

Emperor Hirohito sat in front of the radio every day and listened carefully to the news coming from the other side of the ocean. He was extremely anxious.

On September 5, he called in his cabinet Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki.

The intention to seek peace has been sent out, but the United States has not yet responded.

The battle on Okinawa is getting more intense day by day, but the 32nd Army is almost reaching its end.

After hearing His Majesty the Emperor's concerns, Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki explained:

"Your Majesty, the foreign policy of the new Chinese and Xiaxia governments is extremely tough. They have become a regional power!"

"Choosing to accept our peace terms means running counter to the major powers in this region. The White House must be cautious before making a decision."

Hirohito helplessly held up his glasses frame and asked:

"My dear, in this case, how likely is it that the United States will agree to negotiate with us?"

The current situation is not good for Japan, but it is a great opportunity for Suzuki's peace-seeking faction.

He said confidently:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. It is precisely because the new Chinese government behaves very toughly externally that the United States will be more inclined to negotiate with us."

Seeing that Hirohito didn't understand, he patiently explained.

It turns out that the intention of the United States is also very obvious, that is, to use this war to dominate the world.

The countries in each war zone have been beaten to pieces and will not be able to grow again for a while.

No one can compete with the United States.

In this way, the only thorn in the side, the new government of China and Xia, becomes very eye-catching.

In order to curb its continued growth and expansion, the United States will definitely negotiate with Japan.

The Japanese state is also willing to be a pawn of the other party to contain regional powers.

After listening to the explanation, Hirohito smiled comfortably.

"My beloved, you can see clearly that I am very relieved to leave the matter of peace to you!"

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve you!"

…………

Okinawa.

The establishment of the new government in China did not affect the battle on Okinawa. MacArthur and Nimitz were still bombarding the 32nd Japanese Army on the island.

With the support of ground-penetrating bombs, the desperate counterattack of the Japanese 32nd Army was restrained to a certain extent.

In the process of advancing for more than 20 days, the Allied forces only suffered more than 15,000 casualties in total.

The Allied forces have captured the Naha area and are slowly advancing. Everything is in order.

After entering September, the Australian army entered the Okinawa battlefield with the super aircraft carrier they had just purchased from China.

After the super aircraft carrier Fengtian was handed over to the Australians, it was renamed the King.
