The agents of the CIA's European branch are very capable. Of course, this is mainly due to their free assistance to the local resistance forces in Europe during Hitler's period. It was during that period that they developed a good relationship with the local resistance forces in Europe. So when Europe threatens to become China's enemy, their returns begin to make it easier for Chinese agents to obtain real-time intelligence.
The news that Britain was preparing for war and preparing to send troops to the Far East reached Chongqing, which surprised the senior officials of the Supreme Command headed by Ouyang Yun. "Isn't the focus of the British work on Europe? Why, do they think they can win Europe?" It's almost certain, so now I have enough energy to intervene in matters in Asia." In Ouyang Yun's office, Deng Xihou said after seeing the relevant information.
Ouyang Yun: "They must have been forced by us. Of course, the main reason may be that they thought that with the United States, the Soviet Union, and Japan in front, they didn't have to worry about our military strikes at all, and they could even take advantage of the opportunity to make bigger gains. The benefits come without reciprocating. In this case, we have nothing to worry about. I will call Gu Lianyun later and let her go all out."
"If a war really breaks out in the Middle East, the British will definitely mobilize their assembled forces there. It would be a good choice to fight against the British in the Middle East. This can protect our Southeast Asian allies from the flames of war, and also protect our country's Western territories. Xinjiang is safe, but the main force of the Middle East Expeditionary Force has already gone to South America, and there is no surplus domestic troops. Is it necessary to recruit new troops?"
"There is no need. Domestic industrial and agricultural production has just entered the right track. At this time, the deployment of young and strong labor will affect our reconstruction plan. Didn't Mr. Feng say before that he was worried about letting the Japanese fight the Japanese? Maybe the Middle East can be left to the Japanese To fight against the British, the Japanese still have a psychological advantage. However, the current Japanese People's Liberation Army does not have high-level generals who can lead the overall situation, so the top commander must be our people. Who do you think is more suitable? "
The Japanese People's Liberation Army was developed from the Japanese Peace Army and now has a size of nearly 200,000. Their nominal superior is the Japan Anti-War League, but their military command and operations are still subordinate to the Chinese Supreme Command. Uncharacteristically for Ouyang Yun, Not only did they abolish battlefield discipline, but they also transformed Japanese prisoners into the so-called Japanese Liberation Army. The old man led by Feng Yuxiang couldn't stand it. In Ouyang Yun's plan, the main force in conquering North Korea would be the Japanese Liberation Army, but Feng Yuxiang and others were determined to do so. Feng Yuxiang and others had good reasons for their opposition. They believed that even if the Japanese People's Liberation Army would not collaborate with the enemy on the battlefield, it would be inevitable to condone and shelter Japanese prisoners of war. If this continues, it would be difficult to guarantee the loyalty of the Japanese People's Liberation Army, and it would be It affected the control of Japan after the war. Feng Yuxiang and others opposed it very resolutely. Ouyang Yun was not willing to be arbitrary. At this time, a battlefield in the Middle East suddenly appeared, which actually solved a problem for him. You know, the Japanese army is now Although defeat is inevitable against the Chinese army, there is no precedent for failure against the British army.
"There are two most suitable candidates, General Zhang Zizhong and General Ding Yi. If qualifications are not considered, Zhang Xuyun is also a good candidate."
"General Zhang will definitely stay in the Far East. In the Far East, I estimate that war will break out soon. The Soviets were already ready to make a move, and now that the British have made a good start, Stalin will definitely take the opportunity to take action. Ding Yi is a good candidate. , However, considering that the paratroopers will definitely support the Far East operations in the future, I prefer Zhang Xuyun. Insufficient level is not a problem. Zhang Xuyun made great contributions in the Changchun Defense War, and leapfrog promotion is not a problem, and he controls the Northeast People's Liberation Army very well. As long as we mobilize several major Japanese generals from the former Japanese Peace Army, I think he can definitely control the situation, okay, this matter will be settled."
After the matter of organizing the Japanese People's Liberation Army to enter the Middle East was settled, Ouyang Yun's attention immediately shifted to another very important matter. According to the intelligence sent back by Kong Lingyi, senior US military leaders and senior Japanese military leaders held a meeting in New Delhi not long ago. It has been finalized that the Pacific Strategy will be launched by the end of this year at the latest. By then, the US Pacific Fleet and the Japanese aircraft carrier Fleet, which has just accepted the name of the Combined Fleet, will move from the southwest to the south and simultaneously launch attacks on many Pacific islands controlled by the Chinese Navy. According to Kong Lingyi According to the intelligence sent back, the reason why the Americans and Japanese reached a consensus on the Pacific war situation so quickly is because the United States hopes to contain the Chinese military power by opening a new battlefield in the Pacific and prevent the Chinese military from having a source of strength in South America; while the Japanese side hopes to contain the Chinese military power by opening a new battlefield in the Pacific Ocean. It is hoped that this strategic move will restore its maritime lifeline and allow the mainland to regain strategic resources in Southeast Asia.
The failure of the "Seed Project" made Koizumi Minichiro see clearly the fact that if he cannot help the country to defend its homeland, the Southeast Asian colonies will become rootless. This will not only weaken his voice in the anti-China group, but also It is possible that his efforts in Southeast Asia will eventually become someone else's wedding dress. Because of this consideration, he has increased support for the mainland. Last month alone, he sent three waves of Mount Fuji super fighter jets to Japan. More than 50,000 tons of supplies were delivered, and a small naval base in Taiwan, China, was also launched.
Ouyang Yun was not surprised at all that the United States and Japan finally had the intention of joint military action. After all, this was the biggest reason for the secret treaty between the United States and Japan. But what he did not expect was that Koizumi Minichiro would actually change his strategic thinking at this time and re- Considering supporting the local defense, Koizumi Minichiro's actions will not actually change the war situation in Japan in a short period of time. However, because Japan's local resistance has become stronger, this means that if the Chinese government still wants to achieve its pre-war goals, it will have to step up its offensive against Japan. The local military investment, and considering that the Pacific Fleet must also resist the possible island war launched by the U.S. and Japanese navies, the shortage of troops will inevitably seriously lag behind the strategic planning of the Supreme Command.
"We cannot wait for the Japanese and Americans to actually take action before we make targeted arrangements. Otherwise, we will fall into a very passive situation. I think we should take action on the Malay Peninsula. General Gu, this matter, You will be specifically responsible for it." Ouyang Yun said at a targeted military meeting that followed.
After Chen Cheng, considering the balance issue, Ouyang Yun summoned He Yingqin and Gu Zhutong into the Supreme Command. Among them, He Yingqin became the director of the Logistics Department of the Supreme Command, and Gu Zhutong was appointed as the first deputy commander-in-chief of the army. They entered the Supreme Command. It has been more than a month, and this is the first time Ouyang Yun has given them a substantive task.
