Once upon a time, Wu Aihua always wanted to use his wisdom and power to take advantage of the excellent opportunity of World War II to seek the greatest benefits for the Chinese nation. This idea is correct, and Wu Aihua still adheres to this concept today.
However, Wu Aihua was quite stubborn when it came to the specific strategies for realizing this idea. Of course, his stubbornness was proven correct many times. This situation created Wu Aihua's image of "great and upright".
For example, this time, when Wu Aihua was discussing the strategy of using troops against the Soviet Union with senior military generals, no one reminded him whether he should send troops to Japan first. Because Wu Aihua explained that the purpose of temporarily raising Little Japan was to let Little Japan
If a mad dog bites others, the Chinese nation can gain more benefits. As for the 30 million compatriots in the Northeast, being bullied by Japan for a few more years is just a small benefit; compared with the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation
, it seems that this small benefit can be given up.
Previously, Wu Aihua thought this way, and most people in the National Defense Force also thought this way. Small interests can be given up for the sake of greater interests. In fact, Wu Aihua unknowingly got involved in the logic of later generations.
Compared with the country's possible future territory of tens of millions of square kilometers, it is indeed a small benefit to take back the Northeast a few years later. However, should the 30 million people in the Northeast bear this price and make this sacrifice?
The reason why a nation and a country can prosper lies in the cohesion and centripetal force of the nation, in sharing difficulties, sharing blessings, and advancing and retreating together. If a ruler is constantly sacrificing the interests of some people as an excuse to achieve the so-called
For the greater benefit, this is actually implementing the law of the jungle within the nation. If this continues, it will only lay hidden dangers for the future of the nation.
At this time, Wu Aihua felt that Chen Jitang's simple words were like morning bells and evening drums, waking Wu Aihua from some wrong obsessions, and his heart seemed to become clearer.

Germany's occupation of the British Isles was another major victory achieved by Hitler since he launched the war. During the war against Britain, Germany's powerful war machine also swept through Eastern Europe's Hungary, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia,
All Eastern Europe, except Soviet Russia, was included in Germany's sphere of influence.
At this time, Germany finally freed up its hands and prepared to deal with Soviet Russia with all its strength.
Although the history of parallel time and space has changed a lot, the basic trend has not changed. Although Germany and the Soviet Union signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" in August 1939, in July 1940, when Germany had just occupied France, Hitler
He instructed the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht to formulate the famous "Barbarossa Plan" aimed at comprehensively solving the Soviet-Russian problem.
Historically, Hitler used many deceptive methods to cover up the fact that he wanted to invade Soviet Russia. In the later stages of its implementation, the famous "Sea Lion Project" basically became a "scam" to cover Germany's increase in troops to Eastern Europe. In parallel time and space, Hitler
Around January 1941, he also used this "scam" to the extreme. However, Hitler's evil idea was completely exposed by Wu Aihua, and he made it clear to Dönitz in the Indian Ocean that if Germany could completely solve the British problem by the end of May,
China is willing to provide military assistance to Germany.
Judging from the original intention of its formulation, the "Sea Lion Project" was by no means used to cover up an attack on Soviet Russia. Its real purpose was to land on the British mainland. However, in the long-term air battle, the British became more and more tenacious.
With the aid of the United States, Hitler realized that it seemed difficult and too costly to completely occupy Britain. Destroying Soviet Russia was one of Hitler's stated goals, and it was the main goal. Therefore, for this main goal, Hitler had to
The British would not be spared. However, if there was a chance to get rid of Britain easily and make it easier for Germany to deal with Soviet Russia, Hitler would definitely be willing to do so.
Because the war has reached this level, it cannot be said that Hitler will no longer attack Britain and Britain will let Germany go. Historically, Germany did not invade the British mainland, but it was just a matter of helplessness.
However, because of China's strong support, especially Dönitz's submarine fleet that annihilated the British Indian Ocean Fleet in the waters of the Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean, Hitler suddenly became more powerful.
In this way, the "Sea Lion Project" experienced dramatic changes from true to false, then from false to true, and finally occupied the United Kingdom. This was a real fight. Couldn't this paralyze Soviet Russia?
As in history, the end of the war on the Western Front means the beginning of the war on the Eastern Front. Although Hitler did a good job in intelligence work and successfully deceived the bearded Soviet Russia, in the face of the all-pervasive "Fengqing Bureau"
, Hitler was just deceiving the Soviet Russians.
In fact, there are no secrets at all in large-scale military operations. When the garrison in one military camp wants to march to another place, don't they march in formation or take ### transportation vehicles? As long as they guard the traffic arteries,
Anyone with a little common sense will know where these troops are heading and how many military vehicles have passed by in these days.
However, compared with history, the German troops concentrated on the Eastern Front before June 1941 were much stronger than in history. Because the settlement of the British issue liberated the German troops stationed in France.
Historically, because of the existence of Britain, the German army had always stationed a strong army in France to deal with the counterattacks of the British and French governments-in-exile; but the settlement of the British problem made Hitler's war game suddenly come alive, and the German navy
It can play its due role in the defense of Europe, and the army can be transferred eastward in large numbers. With this alone, the Germans obtained 800,000 mobile troops out of thin air.
Historically, as of mid-June 1941, Germany had assembled 190 divisions of 3 million army troops in the border area with the Soviet Union, with 3,800 tanks, more than 43,000 artillery pieces, and 1,830 aircraft. In parallel time and space, Germany
, the number of army troops assembled by the Germans on the Eastern Front did not change, and the tanks and artillery did not change. However, the number of combat aircraft increased from 1,830 to 3,800, including the remaining 1,300 purchased from China during the war with Britain.
Because of the success of the British war, the Chinese Defense Forces Military Observation (Staff) Group in Germany attracted more attention from Hitler. Starting from April, the words of an ordinary observer in the observation group were even more effective than the words of a general in the German Army. Because Hitler
It has been requested for a long time that as long as the written opinions of the Chinese Military Observer Group, whether individual or group, must be backed up to the Head of State's Office. In other words, what the Chinese say can be directly heard by heaven.
Members of the Chinese Observation Group took advantage of this opportunity to provide Hitler with many suggestions. For example, the best way to move troops is to "hide by day and come out at night", that is, move forward at night and rest in the military camp during the day. This method is particularly beneficial.
Keep it secret. Hitler understood at a glance that this was a good method. For example, when members of the Chinese Observation Group gave advice to Guderian, they said that they were not afraid of anything when it came to tank charges, but were afraid of weak bridges. It didn’t matter if the road conditions were a little worse, but the bridges
The engineering troops must be reinforced in advance, and some important bridges must be strengthened to prevent enemy destruction.
In addition, Chinese observers mentioned intentionally or unintentionally the difference between Eastern Europe and Western Europe. The terrain in Western Europe is narrow and tanks can pass through the Netherlands and Belgium without refueling; tanks can cross France after refueling three times; however, Eastern Europe is different in that it has a vast territory.
If the population is sparse and the tank is refueled ten times, it may not be possible to see the next city. When the enemy is on the way to retreat, a tank company can destroy an army regiment; but when the enemy hides in a city or a permanent fortification, a tank regiment can also
It may not be able to deal with a marine company.
When Hitler accelerated the pace of the war, the Chinese National Defense Forces also began to take action. After repeated discussions among the top brass of the National Defense Forces, and finally soliciting the opinions of Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Jitang, Mao Zd and others, the National Defense Forces formed a plan aimed at limited attacks on Japan and the Japanese Kwantung Army.
The "Wolf Exorcism Plan" to drive back to the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
Chen Jitang showed full understanding of this point, and also praised Wu Aihua for having truly matured. Because enemies are still useful, they don't need to be beaten to death with a stick; but they cannot do so at the expense of their own people continuing to be enslaved.
The Japanese Kwantung Army is still commanded by General Kenkichi Ueda. In Japan in parallel time and space, because its defeat at the hands of China was so sudden, the upper echelons were particularly shaken. Instead, they did not change troop commanders as frequently as during the same period in history. This
This is also the reason why Ueda Kenkichi was able to hold the position of commander until 41 years.
The Kwantung Army in 1941 was much stronger than in 1937 and 1938. In addition to the two main group armies of Kawamura Kyosuke's 5th Army and Tada Shun's 9th Army, there was also the addition of Doihara Kenji's
4th Army. In addition, the Kwantung Army system also has 2 tank divisions affiliated with the Japanese base camp, as well as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th independent garrison and cavalry groups (1st and 4th Cavalry Brigade),
It is composed of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, the Kwantung Army Flying Group, the Railway Line District Headquarters, the Lushun Fortress Headquarters, the Kwantung Army Gendarmerie, etc., with a total strength of 600,000.
In addition to the improvement of Japan's tank troops, the improvement of firepower below the regiment is very limited. The weapons of ordinary soldiers are still Type 38 rifles, and even the Type 100 submachine guns produced by Japan are pitiful. To put it bluntly, this is made by Japan
Determined by poor resources.
Therefore, Wu Aihua is not worried at all about whether the Japanese Kwantung Army will pose a threat to the Chinese National Defense Force.
In fact, Wu Aihua handed over this limited counterattack mission to the Northern Front Army stationed in Peiping, and Wu Aihua gave clear instructions to the Front Army Commander Zhuang Xizhen, Deputy Commander Luo Zhuoying, and Chief of Staff Wan Yaohuang: only
The forces under the control of the front army will drive out the Kwantung Army. They will not give a single division to the cavalry group army, armored group army, artillery group army, etc.; of course, the Japanese Kwantung Army flying group will be handled by the 3rd Air Division of the National Defense Forces Air Force Major General Shen Dexie.
