Chapter 182: Forty-eight days and twenty-two crazy days
Chapter 182: Crazy forty-eight days (twenty-two)
On June 30, it had been a full month since Meng Da launched his attack in the Northeast. The three northeastern provinces were developing crazily, and the Japanese army was gradually shrinking the defense area in Shandong. Nie Rongzhen's troops had developed again, and had trained an army of 500,000 in one month. Regularly
The latest infantry equipment, coupled with the mighty new military uniforms and field clothing, make the changes in the army refreshing.
Before Meng Da left, he visited Xu Aizhou. The president of the Chamber of Commerce said excitedly: "More than one million business troops have been brought out from X Port, T Bay and Huizhou."
"Very good, let me tell you that we are a legitimate business operation and we must not do anything inappropriate. The future benefits are huge and we cannot smear the faces of Hong Kong people. I am going back. If you have any difficulties, please call me.
"Report." Meng Da has no doubts about Xu Aizhou's ability, but as the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, there may be some unscrupulous businessmen causing trouble.
Xu Aizhou smiled and said: "You are right, as long as you find such a person, you will never tolerate it!"
"Construction of Silk Island has begun. The materials there must be ensured to arrive on time."
"Don't worry, I will give priority to supplying Satin Island."
"Northeast and North China are not very peaceful at the moment, so be careful when traveling." Meng Da was about to leave, but felt very uneasy.
"Yes, all caravans travel together, and we will ask them to use troops to escort them when necessary. Commander Meng, feel free to go." Xu Aizhou was very touched. He was a businessman and could be escorted by a great commander who managed a vast land.
What an honor it is to be so valued!
Meng Da flew back to Hong Kong from Peiping, and Japanese Ambassador Shigeru Kawagoe hurriedly chased him. He asked in surprise: "The US military is at war with you?"
"Not yet. Commander Meng, we have a batch of rubber, ore and precious wood in Southeast Asia, and we want to trade with you in exchange for millions of tons of steel."
"Oh? Such a large amount of supplies?" Meng Da was surprised.
"Mainly sandalwood, teak, and iron wood. You must like these things."
"Of course I like it! Okay, you can go to my mentor and Master Fang Zhenshan to negotiate this matter." Meng Da didn't have time to waste energy, but he still made the decision to do this business.
"According to the intelligence we have, the US military may take action against Mariana." Kawagoe Shigeru blinked his little eyes and warned cautiously.
"Isn't he making false claims in the east and attacking in the west?" Meng Da deliberately made a joke with Kawagoe Shigeru.
"Ah!" Kawagoe Shigeru was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Is this how you judged it? Or do you have accurate information?"
"Hahahaha, although MacArthur is arrogant, he still has amazing wisdom about war. We should be careful not to be deceived by the M countrymen. The troops you have withdrawn from Northeast and North China have been replenished in Southeast Asia, right? I suggest
The soldiers defending the island should use less air force and more artillery fire to destroy them!"
Shigeru Kawagoe said in frustration: "Our Zero aircraft has lost its advantage, and there are fewer and fewer excellent pilots."
"Yes, I rarely use the air force to fight, because there are not enough pilots. Now that you no longer have to worry about steel and oil, you should be able to fight with the M country with real swords and guns. Wasn't C Xian taken away by your conscription?
A lot of people? Your army is three million, right?"
Kawagoe Shigeru nodded and said to Meng Da: "We have prepared more than one million people in the country to start a local war with the people of country M if necessary."
"Resources from Southeast Asia should be transferred to the country as soon as possible." Meng Da looked at Kawagoe Shigeru meaningfully.
"Yes, that's exactly what we did."
After Kawagoe Shigeru left, a large group of generals including Zhu Jiahua, Fang Zhenshan and Huang Wei swarmed over. He said in a dumbfounded voice: "The news came out so quickly!"
"Hahahaha, you have been crazy in the Northeast for a month, and finally thought that this is your home?" Huang Wei couldn't help laughing, and after sitting down, he asked: "Where are you going to attack again?"
Meng Da shook his head: "Come back to develop business."
"Oh?" Luo Zhuoying was stunned and quickly asked with a smile: "Is it the Nanhai Oil Mine?"
"I have handed over the navy to you for so long. All the islands in Nansha and Xisha have been occupied, right?" Meng Da did not answer directly, but asked Luo Zhuoying.
"Don't worry, even if it's a palm-sized island, I've erected a monument and given it a name."
"This is the last and most meaningful thing you do for the National Government, and it will be famous throughout the ages!"
Zhu Jiahua nodded solemnly and said to his students: "We have tried every means to build military fortifications on any small island that can be inhabited. We have successfully exploited oil near the Nansha Islands!"
"Ah!" Meng Da asked in surprise: "Really?"
"It's true. According to calculations by scientists from country D, oil production is so abundant that as long as thousands of wellheads are mined within a year, it will be enough to supply all the oil in our country."
Mengda laughed loudly, picked up the tea bowl and shouted: "Come, have a drink to celebrate."
Luo Zhuoying said fiercely: "Bring out your good wine."
"Oh, my housekeepers are not here. I really don't know where they are hiding." Meng Da smiled bitterly. For a month in the Northeast, six women were too busy to meet him. When he came home, it was also cold. A woman
None.
"I know." Huang Wei shouted upstairs: "Cai Ruoshu, bring out the good wine."
"Hey, you have a traitor in my house!" Meng Da laughed and teased Huang Wei humorously.
On the battlefield in Southeast Asia, the situation suddenly changed. The ground forces invested by the US military include the US 6th Army, the 8th Army and the Australian 1st Army; the navy has the US 3rd Fleet and the 7th Fleet, including a total of 10 large aircraft carriers and escorts
There are more than 800 combat ships including 12 aircraft carriers, 12 battleships, 11 heavy cruisers, 15 light cruisers, 144 destroyers and 25 frigates, and about 1,700 carrier-based aircraft; the aviation force participating in the war includes the 5th and 5th U.S. Army.
13th Air Force and Australian Air Force, with more than 1,000 aircraft.
MacArthur was responsible for the command of the landing operations, forcing the Japanese army to fight with him. The fighting that broke out was so fierce that it quieted down the Mariana Islands on the northern front. Kawagoe Shigeru went to Mengda almost every day, hoping that he would sell more
Give some supplies.
"Mr. Kawagoe Shigeru, you also know my current situation. I didn't sell any weapons or supplies during the civil war in my country. Don't you really know? I am also trying to support you, but I can't let my factory stop.
Right?" Meng Da said complainingly, spreading his hands to express his helplessness.
"The people of country M are crazy. Our navy is struggling. I'm afraid it will all be lost this time."
Meng Da pointed out: "They have developed a new type of fighter jet, and your Zero aircraft no longer has the advantage. As for the navy, the US military is going all out to build aircraft carriers. You cannot win in sea battles. I suggest
You should concentrate your superior forces and station them on a few of the most critical islands, so that you may be able to hold on for a few more days."
"Do you think we will be defeated?" Kawagoe Shigeru looked at Meng Da in surprise, he couldn't believe this was true.
"Can you defeat the opponent's tens of millions of troops?" Meng Da asked slyly.
"No, we have millions of troops in Southeast Asia and we will not fail like this!"
"Hahahaha, MacArthur is a smart military strategist. He used jump tactics to avoid Japanese strongholds and cut off supply lines, leaving you with nothing to do. The isolated army has no material assistance. They can only wait to starve to death or surrender on the battlefield! Kawagoe Shigeru
Sir, you must give up where you should give up, only in this way can you have hope to fight!"
Listening to Meng Da's detailed analysis, Kawagoe Shigeru couldn't help but nod and admit that it made sense. He stood up anxiously to leave, and wanted to report the situation to the country. Meng Da sent R himself away and smiled coldly.
: "Fight, I will take care of you until the end!"
Luo Zhuoying happened to come over and couldn't help but ask after hearing half of the sentence: "Who are you going to deal with?"
"Hahahaha, of course it's Xiaorben!"
"My youth army is about to go to the battlefield." Luo Zhuoying followed Meng Da towards the house and whispered about his situation.
"I'll give you a suggestion, don't go to the front line, let alone be a bullshit group army commander. Be passive from now on and try to come to Guangdong to be the provincial chairman." Meng Da smiled maliciously and gave Luo Zhuoying some tips.
.
"Gao, this is a brilliant move. I'll follow you and learn how to do business." Luo Zhuoying said clearly.
"With you and Generals Huang Wei and Xue Yue in Jiangnan, large areas of land will no longer burn with flames of war. However, the Japanese army in the Central Plains is still there, and Shandong and Leizhou Peninsula are still under the control of the Japanese army. I don't have the energy to deal with the Japanese army in the country now.
, to defend Mariana well is the top priority."
Luo Zhuoying knew Meng Da's strategic deployment and sighed: "The people of country M may have guessed that your troops are in Mariana."
"Even if he knew, he wouldn't say it." Another eighteen days passed, and it was mid-July in the blink of an eye. In these crazy forty-eight days, the people's army not only completed the important tasks of occupying the Northeast, developing the Far East, and Outer Mongolia, but also commercially launching a commercial offensive in North China.
The strategic deployment also diverted the population pressure from Hong Kong.
Thinking of this, he frowned and thought hard: "Oil production continues to expand, and steel and other industries are also undergoing steady construction. What should I do next?"
"Want to find a new battlefield?" Luo Zhuoying asked shrewdly.
"The issue is not war at the moment, but the way out for development. After the U.S. military tried to attack Mariana and failed, it has begun to concentrate its superior forces in Southeast Asia for a decisive battle with the Japanese army. We still have a few months to go, and we should consider the tasks of the new era.
"
Luo Zhuoying kept shaking her head, looking at Meng Da and jokingly said: "Can't you just enjoy yourself in peace and contentment for a few days?"
"My talents are destined to be useful. Since I am brought to this era, I must do more useful things for China."
"Report, the Battle of Normandy will start soon, and the D people asked us to provide cigarettes, food and some artillery fire. Hitler sent more than a hundred scientists, and they have arrived in China Island with gold, silver and jewelry."
Meng Da said proudly: "Promise him all the supplies he needs!"
"yes."
"Tell Master Fang Zhenshan that the U.S. military will dispatch nearly three million troops this time. Our supplies must be fully prepared. People from the D country will come to us to discuss business."
"yes!"
After the telegraph operator left, Luo Zhuoying asked eagerly, "Such a big battle?"
"As long as they break through Normandy, Country D will be attacked from three sides. The people of Country M are already cruel!"
"ah!"
Zhu Jiahua walked in and said to Meng Da: "I heard that the Chairman of the Generalissimo is negotiating with the people of Country M again, and decided to let the People of Country M take out some of their weapons and hand over the coastal ports and airports to the US military."
"Asshole!" Meng Da stood up angrily, waved his fist and shouted: "Operator!"
"arrive!"
"I want to hold a press conference to protest against the current situation!"
