Chongqing, Huangshan Villa. "Committee." Lin Wei quickly walked into the study and bowed slightly to Committee Member Jiang. "Yes!" The Chairman nodded slightly, and then asked: "Where is the delegation sent by the Japanese government?
How are you doing, have you left Chongqing?" Although the Chairman really wants peace talks, he really wants to take a breather, and regain control of the idea of "reconciling internal affairs before resisting foreign aggression" to suppress the increasingly powerful red regime!
But the Chairman knows very well that now is not a good time for peace talks, and he must not raise the flag to blatantly engage in "civil war". In that case, wouldn't he become the second-in-command Wang Jingwei? So at this time, the Chairman must make a decision
A high profile, not only to publicly expel the Japanese delegation to show a firm stance on the war of resistance, but also to publicize it in newspapers tomorrow.
Lin Wei respectfully replied: "If you return to the committee, the Japanese delegation has been expelled from Chongqing." "Okay!" The chairman breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at He Yingqin sitting on the left and said: "Respectfully, Japan's side
What does it mean to send representatives for peace talks while massing reserves and reservists on the mainland in large numbers?" He Yingqin pondered for a while and then said: "Commissioner, since Tojo Hideki came to power to form the cabinet, the Japanese government has fully shifted to a wartime system.
Nowadays, there is a large-scale formation of army divisions in the country, and it is obvious that there will be big moves in the near future."
He Yingqin studied abroad at the Japanese Army Noncommissioned Officer School twice and got along well with Japan. In 1935, he secretly signed the "He-Mei Agreement" with Yoshijiro Umezu, the commander of the Japanese garrison in North China. The Chairman raised his eyebrows and said: "To be more specific,
Let's see!" He Yingqin then added: "Based on my humble analysis, there are two possibilities here. One is that the Japanese have lost patience and have a final showdown with us, and are using force as a threat to make us surrender."
The Chairman was not surprised at all by this, and immediately snorted coldly: "The war has already reached this point, and the Japanese are still dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period. If they have the ability, just come. I don't believe that the great China can still win."
We will really be destroyed at the hands of the Japanese!" The chairman of the Generalissimo really has a bit of temper and confidence now. Although he suffered a complete defeat in the early days of the War of Resistance, with the navy gone, the air force gone, and the central army's direct line elites gone, basically now
I have regained my breath.
But at this time, He Yingqin said angrily: "Commissioner, little Japan is definitely not unusual this time. The little Japanese have now completely transferred to the wartime system. If they are really cruel, they can explode with huge energy in a short time."
, you can even form more than 200 divisions and more than 5 million Japanese army in one go!"
"What? More than five million Japanese troops?" Hearing this, the chairman's pupils tightened, he took a breath of cold air in horror, looked at He Yingqin with wide eyes and said: "Didn't I keep saying that the little devil's finances were exhausted and the consumption was serious?
Is there no way to launch a large-scale military operation?" During the Guangdong Battle, more than 200,000 Japanese troops were able to beat more than 800,000 elite Chinese troops to the ground, but if five million Japanese troops suddenly exploded
, this dense scene can make people shudder just thinking about it.
He Yingqin nodded and said: "Japan's military service system is very complete. Since the Meiji Restoration, the recruitment system has been used, and later the compulsory military system and the reserve military service system have been established successively. As long as the financial expenditure is sufficient, it can continuously expand into infantry divisions with considerable combat effectiveness."
"That's true in theory, but in practice it's difficult to achieve unless the Japanese government is really reckless!"
At this time, Bai Chongxi, who was sitting on the other side, said: "Because if the Japanese government really mobilizes more than two hundred divisions to launch a nationwide war, even if it wins, it will be severely damaged." "That's right." Liu Sheng nodded in agreement.
, "Theoretically, the Japanese government can mobilize 5 million troops, but being able to mobilize half of the army's troops to come to the Chinese battlefield is already the limit of their endurance. If more troops are added, they will injure themselves before killing the enemy."
"
The chairman frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" The chairman was a little confused. If that was the case, then why didn't the Japanese government go all out from the beginning and send out five million troops at once to conquer China with one blow?
What about beating him to death? If it were him, no matter how high the price was, it would still be worth it. It would be much better than the current battle line getting longer and longer, riding a tiger with difficulty, right?
"Theoretically, the Japanese government can recruit five million troops, but that is only the Japanese government's war mobilization limit, and it is definitely not something you can just think about!" Bai Chongxi explained: "Because once this is done, it means that Japanese domestic factories will have to
There will be a large number of closures, schools will be suspended, production and business activities will come to a complete standstill, and even rural farmland will be largely deserted because workers, teachers, students, and farmers will all take up arms and go to the battlefield."
At this time, Liu Sheng added: "If this is the case, even if Japan wins the war, it will be impossible to recover for at least ten years. You must know that there are not only China and Japan in the world today, such as the Soviet Union and the United States.
It is a powerful potential enemy that Japan has to consider and guard against. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese to do this until the last moment. This time the Japanese use this as a threat, which only shows that they have exhausted their skills and have lost the ability to perish in a short time.
China’s confidence.”
Bai Chongxi added again: "However, one thing that needs attention is that the Japanese government's troops on the Chinese battlefield are currently about one million, which is far less than half of the army that can be recruited! If the Japanese government grits its teeth and recruits another one million army
, the consequences will also be quite serious!" "Thump!" Hearing this, the chairman's heart dropped again, and he said with a dark face:
"That is to say, Japan's war potential is still very great. If necessary, do they really have the strength to launch a war of annihilation against China? Although the final result may not necessarily be a win, and the national strength will suffer serious damage, at least they have the ability to launch a war of annihilation.
Is this what you mean by the ability to fight for a country?" Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "Yes. After the Battle of Wuhan, if Japan still has the strength to spare, it will never stop easily, but will definitely continue to fight westward along the Yangtze River and take China directly.
Accompany the capital Chongqing.
However, the reality is that the Japanese army stopped its frontal offensive after capturing Wuhan. It is not that Japan does not want to continue the offensive, but that it simply cannot support it. Because continuing to expand the front line will exhaust the Japanese government's fiscal revenue and overly consume Japan's war potential.
This seriously affected Japan's struggle for hegemony with the Western powers. Therefore, it finally temporarily stopped its frontal battlefield offensive and turned to peace talks with the Nationalist Government in an attempt to conquer China by inducing surrender."
"I understand!" The Chairman nodded: "Then you think, if we did not respond to the Japanese peace negotiators this time, Japan would become angry and recruit another 1 million troops from China? In this case, do we still have a chance to win?" said
At this point, the Chairman is really worried. He has paid a heavy price in casualties and lost a third of his country. Now it is not easy to enter the stalemate stage. There is no big war, so he can breathe a sigh of relief.
If the Japanese suddenly increase their troops by 1 million, the consequences will definitely be very serious, and the country may even be destroyed! Bai Chongxi replied seriously: "Commissioner, don't worry, how can the great China be destroyed by Japan! 50
One million people per division does sound a bit scary, but in the vast territory of China, this is actually not many. Even if the pressure will increase a lot and the situation will become very serious, it will not collapse across the board. We
It is absolutely possible to continue the tug-of-war with the Japanese army!
Another thing to note is that the Japanese troops relied heavily on roads, railways and river shipping for food, drink, diarrhea and ammunition supply. As the Japanese army's front line became longer and longer, especially as the Japanese army advanced into the southwest and rear areas, these supplies were transported during the transportation process.
, are easily attacked by our guerrillas. The Japanese army’s material losses during transportation may even exceed the losses on the front line. Even if Japan switches to a wartime system, it will not be able to survive for long!”
After a pause, Bai Chongxi said with a smile: "What's more, in the hinterland of the Japanese-occupied area, there is Jiang Qiang, Wang Yizhe of the three eastern provinces, and General Tang Juwu of Shanghai. The Shandong Group Army under his command alone can contain 10 people.
A division of Japanese troops!"
"That's good!" the chairman breathed a sigh of relief, and then muttered with a bit of envy and jealousy: "Mother Xipi, I heard from Yunong that Jiang Qiang has purchased no less than 300 American aircraft in the past few months.
The latest P-38 heavy fighter. And the price of this fighter is as high as 115,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to four times the price of the P-40C fighter we bought!
I really don’t know how he got so much money and how he transported it to the Shandong area? Haven’t the little devils already blocked the shipping routes?” Talking about this, the chairman felt really bitter. Although he could get money every quarter from
The American Dongxing Trading Company received a lot of dividends, but it still felt like it was a drop in the bucket. I know that there are many advanced weapons and equipment in the United States, but I am really short of money and can only covet them. There is no one as rich and arrogant as Jiang Qiang.
"This is unknown!" Bai Chongxi shook his head. He also wanted to know what the secret was. After a pause, Bai Chongxi said jokingly: "Shandong has been managed by Jiang Qiang into an independent kingdom, and there are many hidden secrets.
How many secrets do you know? According to Jiang Qiang’s wealth in the United States, they might have imported aircraft production lines long ago!”
The chairman's pupils suddenly tightened, and he stared at Bai Chongxi and asked: "Jiansheng, are you serious about this? Can Jiang Qiang really produce fighter jets? And it is also the most advanced P-38 fighter jet in the United States?" "Ahem! This is just a bold speculation on my part.
!" Bai Chongxi couldn't help but cough a few times. She really just wanted to make a joke, but she didn't expect the chairman of the committee to take it seriously.
But when Bai Chongxi looked back, she realized that Jiang Qiang could always do something unexpected, and he had been slapped in the face many times. This seemingly absurd speculation might have actually existed. After a pause, Bai Chongxi took the lead
He said with an uncertain tone: "It's hard to say. Based on previous experience, Jiang Qiang has always done things without making a fuss and made a big splash. As the committee member said, the Shandong area is currently surrounded by devils. Unless they can do it themselves
Apart from manufacturing, I really can’t imagine how they obtained the latest fighter jets from the United States!”
At this time, the Chairman suddenly remembered something, shook his head repeatedly and said: "No! Our people in the United States saw a large number of aircraft and weapons being shipped with our own eyes, but we have no way of knowing how they transported these weapons and equipment to Shandong.
! What's more, Americans are not fools and have always protected their core interests extremely closely. There is absolutely no reason to sell these hens that lay golden eggs!"
Watching the excitement is not a big deal, He Yingqin interrupted at this time: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. I have heard that Jiang Qiang has attracted many professional talents in recent years, and even Americans have invited many to Shandong area.
.Who knows if they have done anything good? For example, the chemical factory, the plastic factory, the TV factory, and the PHS mobile phone are good proofs, right?
These are not very advanced or powerful things here, but Jiang Qiang has the ability to build them!" "Well, this makes sense!" The chairman nodded repeatedly, and then said to Lin Wei
"Hurry up and send a telegram to Yanji and ask him to ask in person. It would be great if they could produce such a valuable weapon of the country by themselves!" "Okay, let's take a seat!" Lin Wei clicked.
He nodded, but murmured in his heart: Even if Jiang Qiang could produce his own aircraft, he wouldn't give it to the National Government in vain, right?
The Chairman turned to look at He Yingqin and said: "By the way, did you just say two possibilities? What is the other possibility?" He Yingqin replied: "The other possibility is that the Japanese will either team up with Germany to attack the Soviet Union from east to west.
Either attack Southeast Asia to absorb more war resources, such as oil and rubber, which are most in short supply in Japan!" "Plancer attack on the Soviet Union? Attack Southeast Asia?"
The chairman of the committee raised his eyebrows. After thinking for a while, he looked at the crowd unconfidently and said: "It seems that this is not a bad thing for us, but a good thing!" Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "The committee is wise, no matter it is offensive
Whether the Soviet Union or Japan attacks Southeast Asia, the Japanese will offend a powerful enemy. Although the Soviet Union has been defeated by the Germans and lost millions of troops, the Soviet Union still has heavy troops in the Far East, which is not that easy to fight!
Attacking Southeast Asia will definitely lead to the intervention of the United States. At that time, the United States will change its neutral position and provide a steady stream of military assistance to China." After a pause, Bai Chongxi said in a confident tone: "I infer that the Japanese are going south to attack.
The possibility is even greater, because Japan is an extremely ambitious nation, and they should not give up the best war dividends in order to cooperate with Germany!"
"That would be great!" The chairman of the Generalissimo frowned. As long as the United States is involved in the war, the Republic of China government can enjoy the shade under the big tree and continuously receive advanced American equipment and massive strategic materials. Moreover, the United States has strong industry.
Strength will be transformed into military strength in a short period of time, leading to a direct military attack on Japan, and the situation in China's war will soon be reversed.
However, at this time, Bai Chongxi said uncoordinatedly: "The Japanese are now accumulating strength. If they really attack south, they will definitely cut off China's external channels in advance. In other words, the Burma Highway, which is currently difficult for us to survive, will be the priority of the Japanese army.
If they attack military targets, they will most likely attack Myanmar as soon as possible.
In that case, it would really be a drain on the bottom of the pot. Even if the United States wanted to intervene and provide military assistance to China, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to accept it!" "Damn it, the little devil won't really be so malicious, right? In that case, won't we go to heaven?
There is no way in and no way out!" The Chairman began to worry again. If the little devils continue to obtain war resources from Southeast Asia and at the same time cut off China's last life channel, China's war situation will completely collapse in a few years.
Bai Chongxi said in a deep voice: "What we can think of, the Japanese can also think of. The Japanese have formed so many new army divisions. They must have a big plan. Once they really attack south, they will definitely attack Burma and cut off our life supply line."
, to prevent us from disrupting the layout by cooperating with the United States internally and externally! So I think we can consider this now."
He Yingqin frowned slightly and said: "Jiansheng, do you mean that if the Japs officially go south to attack, we will organize an expeditionary force to go abroad to fight against the Japs?"
Bai Chongxi asked: "Otherwise? Can we still count on General Tang Juwu and the British to help us defend Burma and guard the lifeline to the outside world?" During the Anti-Japanese War, transportation was crucial for China to obtain military assistance from its allies. In
During this period, China had six external communication lines, namely: South China Line, Northwest Line, Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, Yunnan-Burma Highway, "Hump" Route, and China-India Highway.
As the Japanese invasion deepened and the world situation changed, the South China Line and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway successively lost their role. The Northwest Line, especially the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the "Hump" route, and the China-India Highway became critical during the Anti-Japanese War. Among them,
The "Hump" route and the China-India Highway have not yet been opened, so the Yunnan-Burma Highway is currently China's only external transportation channel.
"What a headache!" The chairman of the committee stroked his forehead. Now that the domestic war of resistance is very busy and very tight, now he has to consider the establishment of an expeditionary force. Thinking about it, it feels like one head and two are as big as one! At this time, Liu Sheng said with a smile.
: "Actually, it won't be that bad. Once Japan launches a large-scale attack on Southeast Asia, it will mean that it has completely offended Britain and the United States.
If that time had come, military assistance from the United States would have arrived long ago. With sophisticated American weapons and equipment, we would not suffer too much in the fight against the Japanese! What's more, there are a large number of Western troops stationed in India, Luzon and other places.
They won’t sit back and wait for death, they should be able to play a big role!”
"I hope so!" the Chairman sighed softly. The amount of information in today's meeting was too large and he had to sort it out.
Time has quickly entered mid-November, and the cold winter is coming step by step. In the past two months or so, China's domestic battlefield has been relatively calm, and there have been no major wars. Except for the Air Force, the Shandong Army Defense Area has been constantly
There were sporadic battles with the Japanese air force, but otherwise it was extremely quiet!
However, the Soviet-German battlefield was magnificent. The German troops were thundering with lightning, and the Soviet army was retreating steadily with heavy casualties. So far, the German army has penetrated nearly 2,000 kilometers into the Soviet border. There are three fronts on the southwest border, more than 300 divisions, and more than 3 million troops.
, has been encircled and annihilated by the German army! At present, the German army has concentrated 74 and a half divisions with about 1.93 million people, supported by 1,700 tanks and 11,000 artillery, to launch an attack on Moscow.
After losing so many troops at once and the capital being seriously threatened, the Soviet Union felt overwhelmed and had to mobilize troops from the Far East to support the West. Therefore, the strength of the Soviet troops in the Far East did not appear to be reduced. The Soviet Union was in a tight war and was defeated by Germany.
Luohualiushui suffered heavy losses, but the Japanese government did not add insult to injury and went north to launch a war against the Soviet Union in accordance with Germany's instructions.
Because the Japanese government knows very well that even if it goes north to attack the Soviet Union in accordance with Germany's request, even if it destroys the Soviet Union, what they will get will only be the cold Far East, and the benefits will be very limited. What the Japanese government wants to see most is for both Germany and the Soviet Union to lose. They went south to defeat the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet and then occupied Southeast Asia, seizing Southeast Asia's rich resources and huge war dividends.
In the past period of time, the Shandong Group Army had been engaged in a three-month long game with the Japanese Air Force. They fought more than 80 times and lost 52 P-38 heavy fighter jets and 6 P-51d Mustangs. The fighter jets shot down 106 Japanese fighter jets at a cost. Thanks to their home field advantage and defensive capabilities, although the Flying Tigers destroyed a total of 58 fighter jets, only 15 pilots died heroically for their country.
In addition, after a long period of actual combat against the enemy, a large number of new recruits of the Flying Tigers have grown up rapidly, and the overall combat effectiveness of the Tigers has been greatly improved. At the same time, the little devils have gained a lot, although they have suffered losses. Although he has hundreds of fighter jets, he quickly cultivated a large number of outstanding pilots and has a clear understanding of the performance of the P-38 heavy fighter.
After Li Jinglin and the others left, Jiang Qiang turned to look at Huang Hong and said, "The Security Department and Confidential Department of the aircraft manufacturer will be under your direct control for a period of time. You must smooth out the work as soon as possible, establish the backbone organization of the department, and improve Complete all security and confidentiality rules and regulations!" Huang Hong immediately saluted: "Please rest assured, Chief, and ensure that the task is completed!" Jiang Qiang nodded and said: "Well, there are still 9 hours before the equipment enters the site, now you can follow the deployment Work begins.”
"Goodbye!" Huang Hong nodded slightly, turned around and left. After arranging all the work, Jiang Qiang completely relaxed and looked down at the time. It was already eleven o'clock. There was nothing urgent at hand, so Jiang Qiang just Too lazy to continue working, I stood up, stretched and walked quickly to the parking lot on the first floor.
After having a full lunch, Jiang Qiang was about to go back to the bedroom to take a nap, but unexpectedly, Chen Bulei and Chen Lian came to visit. As soon as he saw Chen Lian, An Ran jumped up to him and showed off: "Sister Chen, You're here just in time, my husband has recently bought some good movies from the United States, let's go and watch them together?"
Although An Ran is not yet 23 years old, he is almost the same size as 20-year-old Chen Lian. At first glance, they seem to be of the same age. Now that they are schoolmates, they have a very good relationship. "Okay! Okay! "Chen Lian couldn't help but nodded with a smile. The main reason why she loves to visit Jiang Mansion is that Jiang Mansion has many advanced home appliances and new songs and videos that are not available on the market.
"Director Chen, please come to the study with me to talk!" Jiang Qiang naturally knew that Chen Bulei was going to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. After Chen Lian and An Ran walked away, he led Chen Bulli to the study. "Okay. !" Chen Bulei hurriedly followed up. He made a pot of good tea for Chen Bulei with his own hands. Jiang Qiang then smiled and said, "Director Chen, I wonder if you can give me any advice during this visit?"
"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Chen Brai cupped his hands and said with a smile: "How dare you give me advice? I took the liberty to come to visit Commander Jiang this time because I have some difficulties and want to ask Commander Jiang for help!" Jiang Qiang smiled. Said: "Director Chen, we are all old friends. If you have any questions, just ask. As long as I can help, I will never shirk the responsibility!"
"Thank you Commander Jiang for the promotion. In the past two years, thanks to Commander Jiang's care, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today!" Chen Bulei was not just saying it in a casual way, but was truly grateful to Jiang Qiang, precisely because of Jiang Qiang.
After deliberately promoting him, he was highly valued by the Chairman, and he was treated very well in Zhaoyuan. Not only did he live in a mansion, drive a luxury car, but he also had a high social status! After a pause, Chen Brai then
Going straight to the topic: "Commander Jiang Qiang, I heard that you have recently imported a large number of the most advanced P-38 heavy fighter jets from the United States? Is this possible?"
