Yu Xuezhong described himself as a country bumpkin who had never seen the world after coming to Guangzhou. Although this was a joke, it also showed how prosperous and advanced Guangzhou was at this time. In fact, it was not just Guangzhou, but the entire Guangdong. Fujian, Hainan, as well as some areas in southern Zhejiang, eastern Guangxi, and southern Jiangxi. As long as families enter these places, they can realize this. Radio and television have long been popularized. In the streets and alleys, those old people gather together to chat and spank. The indispensable equipment on hand is radio and television. Those with more than two people in the family working in factories or serving in the army can afford to buy them. To match them, local TV stations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Li Ziwen's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television was established. At the beginning, there was only Guangzhou TV Station under its command, but now there are more than 30 legally qualified TV stations. These TV stations include Xuebingjun Radio and Television Corporation, Guangdong Television Station, Fujian Television Station, and Hainan National Television Station. There are also major cross-regional TV stations such as XX Armory TV Station and XX Farm TV Station. The proliferation of TV stations has contributed to the prosperity of the TV drama industry. Therefore, the nightlife of people in Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong is not limited to entertaining themselves at home or listening to dramas. In teahouses, many people have become accustomed to staying in front of the TV early after dinner, waiting to continue watching unfinished TV series.
Xuebingjun started out in the pharmaceutical industry. The pharmaceutical industry is still its pillar industry, but the electronics industry is the fastest growing among the companies under Xuebingjun. In addition to radio and television, refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines have also been launched. Reflected in people's livelihood, the locals in Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong used to pay attention to the number of boxes when marrying a girl, but now it depends on whether the electronic products are complete, referred to as the six major items, TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine. In addition to these four electronic products, bicycles , sewing machines have also been included, and relatively wealthy people will replace bicycles with motorcycles and cars, and replace ordinary sewing machines with electronic sewing machines.
Before Yu Xuezhong entered Guangzhou City, he happened to see a family getting married. He and his brothers saw that the groom's family actually dispatched nearly ten cars to welcome the bride, and the bride's family's dowry was mainly composed of these six items. He thought at the time Which two wealthy families were getting married, and then when he found out that the two parties were just ordinary people, Yu Xuezhong's vision of Guangzhou City changed completely. People in the military circle paid attention to Xuebingjun, and their eyes often focused on weapons. In terms of equipment, people's livelihood was ignored. Although Yu Xuezhong was a soldier, he served as chairman of the Hebei Provincial Government, chairman of the Gansu Provincial Government, and director of Jiangsu Appeasement. It was these experiences that gave him an understanding of people's livelihood and military strength. The relationship between the Xuebing Army and the Xuebing Army is very clear. If the Xuebing Army's strength comes from Ouyang Yun's militarism, then the Xuebing Army's strength will be destined to be short-lived. In that case, the Xuebing Army's future will be limited, but after seeing the Xuebing Army After the people's livelihood prospered under the military rule, he realized that the strength of the Xuebing Army was not achieved overnight, but was accumulated richly. His view on the reorganization of the Northeastern Army and its integration into the Xuebing Army immediately changed.
The advancement of electronic technology not only improved the people's livelihood under Xuebingjun, allowing the people under Xuebingjun to enjoy a more convenient and happier life, but more importantly, it allowed Xuebingjun to quickly move towards modernization. For this meeting, the participating generals of the Northeastern Army could feel the charm of electronic technology. To be honest, it was nothing. The electronic products used in this meeting were only a set of loudspeaker equipment, a slide projector and a set of camera equipment, but For the bumpkins from the Northeast Army, this completely overturned their previous experience. The emergence of the slide projector allowed them to see the battlefield conditions and understand the details of the enemy and our troops through vivid images. The camera equipment was the Xuebing Army Archives A tool used by the department to record historical materials. Today's meeting is of considerable historical significance to the Xuebing Army and even to the country. This is not only the first large-scale meeting of the top leaders of the Xuebing Army after the Northeast Army was integrated into the Xuebing Army. More importantly, at this meeting, Ouyang Yun will issue an order for a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese army. This is a signal. This means that in this unprecedented war between China and Japan, the side has always been at a disadvantage and has to use space. The Chinese army, which adopted the conservative strategy of buying time, finally took the initiative. The purpose of the next battle will be to regain its territory and completely defeat the Japanese invaders.
While Ouyang Yun, Marshal Zhang, and Yu Xuezhong were chatting, Gu Lianyun walked in and presented the telegram sent by Roosevelt.
"It's from President Roosevelt of the United States." After reading the telegram, Ouyang Yun saw everyone looking at him with concern and explained: "They said they have not completed war preparations and hope that we can help defend Australia. Brother Han Qing, you What do you think?"
I heard that it was a telegram sent by US President Roosevelt. The faces of the Northeastern Army members were calm, but their hearts were filled with ups and downs. In terms of nature, there is actually no difference between the Xuebing Army and the Northeastern Army. They are both warlords who separatist localities. However, In many matters, the Northeastern Army and the Xuebing Army are completely different.
The Northeastern Army developed through the efforts of two generations of Zhang and his son, and it took several decades to firmly occupy the three Northeastern provinces. However, if they did not resist, all of this would be ruined. The Northeastern soldiers privately Many people asked themselves why they did this. Before coming to Guangzhou, they had never quite understood it. But now, with the ready-made example of the Xuebing Army in front of them, they knew where they lost, and where the Northeast Army lost. Because I was used to playing catch-up between Japan and Russia, I was never able to be tough on Japan and Russia, and fear of the enemy developed even before the war started.
The Xuebing Army did not rise for a long time, only six years, but now they not only have strong troops and horses, but also the people under their rule are wealthy. These are second to none. What the Northeast soldiers admire the most is the Xuebing Army's toughness and independence in foreign affairs. Ouyang It is no longer a secret what Yun Qin led the student expeditionary force in the Indochina Peninsula, and this was something that the Northeastern soldiers could not do no matter what. Ouyang Yun used both soft and hard tactics to control the Indochina Peninsula, and he was actually able to suppress the British and Being on good terms with the US government is something that even the arrogant and arrogant Mr. Zhang has to give a thumbs up.
At this time, Marshal Zhang had learned some secrets about the Cairo Conference, so he had followed Ouyang Yun's thinking on many things. During this period, he reflected a lot. When Ouyang Yun asked, he thought for a while and asked: "President Roosevelt issued a Are there any conditions?"
"No, but I will definitely mention it. What I am thinking about now is the impact this incident will have on our counterattack plan without considering the conditions." Ouyang Yun said,
"Don't the French want to join the war? How about asking the French to join the nationalist army?" Marshal Zhang pondered for a while and said,
Ouyang Yun looked at him with a strange look, because he couldn't figure out how he had this idea.
Feeling his gaze, Marshal Zhang explained: "I have been analyzing the principles of life of Americans during this period, and found that they are particularly afraid of death. American lives are valuable, but our Chinese lives are cheap. Didn't you say that Ang Bosi has always been afraid of death?" I hope that the Nationalist Army will have a chance to fight in actual combat, I think."
Ouyang Yun shook his head: "The Restoration Army can be used, but I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses if it's used in Australia. Although Angbos is dependent on us now, it's because they have this need. After all, they are Westerners. I'm worried they will go to Australia." If it does, it will be controlled by the Americans."
"The country has been weak for too long. If it weren't for this war, the West would not even bother to be with us. Ouyang is right to worry." Jiang Guangnai said. Jiang Guangnai is the oldest among the people in the meeting and has experienced the most things, so he is the last To understand the attitude of Western countries towards China, it would be the most convincing for him to say something like this,
This topic was a bit heavy, and everyone's expressions couldn't help but stagnate.
Li Tieshu raised his head and glanced at everyone, intending to break the atmosphere, and said: "How about forming a coalition army? Let Guo Kui be the commander-in-chief, the Restoration Army will send a certain number of troops, and the Second Expeditionary Army will retain a certain number of troops. There are two reasons for doing this. There are two advantages. First, it can prevent the Americans from getting involved. Second, it can expand the influence of our army on the Restoration Army through joint operations. Didn’t the countries in the Indo-China Peninsula start to call us the Celestial Dynasty again and join the army? After the war, the Restoration Army The national army will definitely become the main force of the national defense forces of the countries in the Indochina Peninsula, which will also be conducive to our control of these countries after the war."
Ouyang Yun looked at him, his eyes brightened obviously, and then he looked at the others and said, "This is a good idea."
Li Tieshu explained: "The Americans want us to help them defend Australia, and they must have the mentality of letting us be cannon fodder. Moreover, they are probably ready to pay a certain price, so that they will not have a psychological burden." , this also has the advantage of allowing the French to see clearly the faces of the Americans."
"Then I will contact Ang Bos after the meeting and ask for his opinion."
"Commander-in-chief, what should we do with General de Gaulle?" Gu Lianyun suddenly interrupted,
After Free France moved to New Delhi with the Queen's Government, de Gaulle was able to understand the details of the French Zionist Army. When he found out the size of the French Zionist Army, he was surprised and delighted, and involuntarily took action to bring the Zionist Army back to freedom. France's thoughts, the Xuebing Army intelligence department in New Delhi immediately reported this information to Gu Lianyun. Gu Lianyun and Ouyang Yun did not take it seriously at first, but now they are discussing that the Nationalist Army will enter Australia. question, Gu Lianyun naturally thought of this matter again,
After her reminder, Ouyang Yun suddenly realized the importance of this matter, but the time and place were not suitable for delving into this matter. He glanced at Gu Lianyun and said, "You plan this matter first, and we will talk about it later. ." After that, he looked at his watch and said: "Okay, let's continue the meeting. Regarding the question of whether to help Australia in the war, we will discuss specific methods after the meeting."
