"Luzon has had business dealings with China's coast since the Ming Dynasty, and there are many expatriates, but we don't have accurate information on the specific number. The Philippine government is in contact with them, and we are afraid that we will no longer be able to have overseas military bases here."
Roosevelt frowned and thought: "The biggest problem is that the sea area where we attack Naha is blocked!"
"Your Excellency, Naha is also Chinese territory, and they have used the radio to promote it." Marshall frowned and couldn't help but ask himself: "So what if we win? We didn't get any benefits at all!"
"Luzon has deployed a thousand fighter planes to show us off. Mengda has its own arsenal, as well as its own metal smelting and oil resources. I heard that Sakhalin can produce 20 million tons of crude oil every year.
Coupled with Brunei's oil, our advantage is gone."
Roosevelt was very depressed. It was he and Marshall who decided to secretly sanction Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, they had already made preparations. According to the CIA's intelligence, Hong Kong fighter jets are very powerful and can fly into an altitude of 20,000 meters. Especially their newly developed weapons, let
Everyone has fear.
"Rubber, ore and other resources in Southeast Asia have been controlled by him, and we can only let them develop. The industry in the four provinces of Jiangnan is rising rapidly, and we can no longer sell cement, fertilizer and other building materials. Our biggest advantage is cotton, but
The textile industry in Hong Kong has developed chemical fiber products, and the clothing industry is also impacting our market!"
Marshall couldn't help but cry. Hong Kong began to sell a large amount of textiles, clothing, shoes, tea, and satin in country m. The market in his own country was severely affected. Especially new electrical appliances, video recorders, cameras, etc., which caused sales of domestic manufacturers to suffer.
to severe damage.
"The unemployed population will expand rapidly after the war, and industrial institutions must be adjusted quickly. We can no longer be passive!" Roosevelt could only make this decision after thinking silently.
On Luzon Island, Meng Da took his mentor and others on a plane and flew around the entire island. The coastline is more than 5,000 kilometers long and the total area is one million square kilometers. They watched for three days, waiting for all three million immigrants to arrive.
I just said goodbye to Feng Zhian and Li Jue.
On the way back to the sky, Zhu Jiahua said with a smile: "The Philippines has formed an alliance with you, you should be relieved, right?"
"The people of China will not throw away the interests of the southern Philippines. I have a hunch that they will use the Philippine airport to attack the mainland of Japan, and they will also drop atomic bombs here!"
"Ah!" Zhu Jiahua was surprised, but then he realized that Meng Da was right. Mariana, the most critical place in the Pacific, was occupied by Meng Da, and the US military had to use the Philippines as a springboard.
"Liu Tai!"
"arrive!"
"Tell Liu Dalong that when the Philippine police force and army are formed, only three divisions of our troops will be left, and all other troops will be withdrawn. Go back and prepare 80,000 rifles to sell to them, and prepare another division of old-fashioned artillery fire to give to us at no cost.
friends!"
"yes!"
"Once the Japanese army and the US army go to war, will the defeated side hand over its weapons to you?" Qiu Qingquan couldn't believe that the little devil would go to Luzon to hand over his weapons.
"Yes! As our prisoners, they will be able to return home soon. Shigeru Kawagoe is not a fool. The US military will take action soon after landing on Leyte Island in the Philippines. The largest naval battle in human history will break out in Leyte Gulf in the future! Xiao r
This navy will be finished, and the Southeast Asian battlefield is no longer important!"
The plane docked at the Hong Kong Military Airport. When they got off the plane, they found Xue Yue and others waiting. Meng Da asked in surprise: "Is there anything you can do, sirs?"
"What are you doing? The four provinces of Jiangnan have various agencies with clear division of labor. We, the provincial chairmen, can only listen to the reports. Brother, we went to see the economic development ideas of T Bay, and we also went to Mariana to watch them
The developing garment industry, especially the very spicy Tianning pepper, is being promoted by Lu Ping on a large scale. We have already thought about introducing planting to the south of the Yangtze River, and we must continue to develop various industries and commerce!"
Luo Zhuoying introduced their actions in the past few days and told everything they saw. Meng Da smiled in surprise: "Is this girl Lu Ping so capable?"
"Of course she can. Your parents have made it clear that they want her to be your tenth wife." Huang Wei reported in a talkative manner, and everyone laughed together.
Meng Da smiled sheepishly and said to the generals: "This girl has been waiting for me to bathe and dress since she was a child. When my second sister tried to bully her, I tried my best to defend her. My parents had already wanted to do this, and I also
I can’t let the little girl feel cold. Forget it, I have an extra woman and a helper, so let’s fulfill the wishes of the two elders.”
"That's right, you really have all the nine beauties." Huang Wei smiled humorously.
"We are here to discuss with you. There is insufficient power in Jiangnan, and our financial capacity is limited. After consultation, we need to get a loan from your Industrial and Commercial Bank of China." Xue Yue changed the subject nonchalantly.
"Okay, we must build large-scale energy-saving power plants. Your four provinces will take the opportunity to develop small electrical appliances, wires, and cable industries. I will let scientists make assessments and plans for you. Come on, let's go home and talk." Meng Da agreed to the loan.
, and required the four provinces south of the Yangtze River to include highway and railway construction in their plans.
"Report, Ambassador Kerry of country m requested to see the commander."
"For the rescued prisoners." Mengda smiled and said to the guard: "Let him wait at my house."
"yes!"
In the Pacific Theater, when the Battle of Aitape in New Guinea was at its peak, MacArthur began preparations for the attack on the Philippines. Due to the continuous reinforcements of the Japanese air superiority and the impact of bad weather, the campaign was delayed.
MacArthur did not expect that the Japanese army had already withdrawn from Luzon Island, and mobilized a large number of armed forces from Burma and Vietnam to occupy the islands in the southern Philippines. Solid defenses and strong troops were waiting for a decisive battle with the US military. Mengda promised to fight against the US military when necessary.
Providing them with supplies and ammunition made Hirohito more confident in fighting this battle.
After receiving the domestic telegram, Kerry first went to visit the more than 8,000 prisoners who had been rescued by the civilian army. Several large hospitals were almost occupied by American soldiers, and they were receiving good treatment here. Seeing Mengda return, the ambassador
The gentleman bowed and said: "Mr. Governor, on behalf of the American people and the President, thank you!"
"You're welcome. We are the best business partners. It's an honor for me to provide them with some services. Mr. Kerry, I suggest you keep them here for now, and then consider returning to China after they fully recover." Meng Da
With a kind smile on his face, Kerry sat down and talked with him in detail.
"Are you planning to station troops on Luzon Island?" Kerry took the tea and took a sip and asked directly.
"No, we are waiting for the returning troops to take over the southern Philippines. We will withdraw our troops when the entire Japanese army in the Philippines is wiped out and no longer threatens our residents?"
"I heard that you have established relations with the Philippine government?"
Meng Da chuckled and said: "This is inevitable! We can do business with country m, but can't we have friendly exchanges with Southeast Asian countries?"
Kerry hoped to hear Meng Da's truth, but he knew this was impossible. The cunning diplomat took out a check and said: "This is the medical expenses for the hospital. We will discuss other matters at the end."
Meng Da shook his head and did not go to accept the check. He said seriously: "I am not short of this little money. As long as they are healthy, that is the best outcome. Mr. Ambassador, do you have anything else to do?"
"No, no, we heard that you want to build a railway, can you hand over this project to our country?"
"Hahahaha, your news is so fast. Okay, I promise you!" Meng Da laughed happily and shook hands with Kerry to say goodbye.
"Report, the naval battle between the Japanese army and the US military broke out at Leyte Gulf!" Swallowdie quickly ran over with the message and reported to Meng Da, who was entertaining Xue Yue and others.
"Oh?" Meng Da glanced at the calendar on the wall and said cheerfully: "October, the date is correct. The US military's landing on Leyte Island in the Philippines has already begun."
Zhu Jiahua said happily: "Fortunately, you did not waste the time to enter Luzon Island!"
"The people of Country M are anxious, but they don't know that Little R has already withdrawn its navy to the Celebes Strait and cut off their transportation lines. Kawagoe Shigeru is a really obedient guy. With my secret advice, Country M will probably suffer.
What a big loss!”
Meng Da smiled happily and revealed the secret negotiations between him and Kawagoe Shigeru. He sighed and said: "Yamashita Fengfumi had already anticipated the decisive battle that was about to happen. He knew that with his existing troops and equipment,
It is difficult to defend the entire island. Although he has more than 10,000 troops, these troops lack training and have weak fighting spirit.
They lacked aircraft, artillery, food and ammunition. Therefore, he gave up his plan for a decisive battle on the beach and instead adopted the policy of "preserving oneself, fighting independently, and resisting the war for a long time" to contain the US military and delay its attack on Japan. For this reason,
, he divided his troops into three groups to implement defense in depth: the Shangwu Group of 152,000 people was deployed in northern Luzon and was personally commanded by Yamashita.
I got Luzon Island, and the Japanese defensive positions further shrunk. Coupled with the artillery fire I assisted their two divisions and the reinforcements from Burma, the US military will hit the iron wall. Especially the anti-aircraft artillery and a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns will make the US military
I have a terrible headache.”
Liu Tai couldn't help but interrupt: "Commander, our newly developed artillery shells were all bought to the Japanese army. They are very powerful, aren't they?"
"Hahahaha, awesome? It can be said to be very awesome!" Meng Da saw the officers listening in surprise and said with a smile: "This is a cloud bomb, also called an air bomb. The cloud bomb explosion is to make full use of the explosion.
The oxygen in the atmosphere in the area, under certain detonation conditions, the cloud explosive agent is thrown away, mixed with the air and violently explodes."
"Can air explode?" Luo Zhuoying couldn't help but asked curiously.
"The cloud explosive is not an explosive, but a high-energy fuel. Under certain detonation conditions, the cloud explosive is thrown away, mixed with air and explodes violently. This is called cloud detonation. Since the detonation time is several times longer than that of ordinary bombs,
Ten times, its high temperature and high pressure can invade the target for dozens of times longer, so the destructive effect is much greater than that of ordinary bombs. Since the cloud and mist detonation will consume the surrounding oxygen, the explosion site is generally severely deprived of oxygen within four minutes, which is harmful to humans and animals.
Produces a suffocating effect.”
"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed, who can bear such a blow?
"Compared with bombs of the same weight, the power of cloud explosion bombs can be increased by more than 3 times. The power of specially formulated cloud explosion bombs can be increased by up to 8 times compared with conventional bombs of the same mass. The warhead shrapnel must come into contact with the gun to be effective. Cloud explosions
The bullets can kill the living forces hiding in the bunkers, tunnels and caves."
"Oh my god, can't we just wait to die?" Qiu Qingquan couldn't help shouting, pulling Meng Da and saying: "Let's go and see this thing!"
