Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety Seven Meeting of the Four Heads of State
The bad taste of the time traveler gave Li Mei the opportunity to witness the miracle of China with his own eyes. This was his great luck and his great misfortune. The reason why Truman was willing to risk the world's disapproval and reach a secret agreement with a former enemy country for the sake of 50,000 prisoners of war. Agreement and the formation of an anti-China alliance. Regardless of other reasons, the key point is that although China stole the show in this unprecedented war, everyone from Truman to an American farmer believed that China could achieve such a victory. It's not that the Chinese are so powerful, but because the United States is standing behind China. The key reason why the Chinese were able to defeat Japan was that they received assistance from the United States.
"Look at the Chinese aircraft carriers. Some of them are not from the United States. Look at their fighter planes and tanks. There is no trace of the United States on any of them. Otherwise, why would their planes and tanks be so similar to ours..." Politicians are undoubtedly the most shameless creatures in the world. America's most advanced fighter jets and tanks are obviously copies of China's golden eagles and mandrills. However, for the sake of their own political lives and ambitions, top U.S. officials dare to make false claims and tell the truth. He said, therefore, in the eyes of the Americans, locating factories that produce the latest fighter jets and tanks in Australia has become the most selfless measure to support China's war of resistance. The latest fighter jets and tanks currently used by the Chinese army are all Supported by the U.S. government.
This is also the reason why many American soldiers were extremely puzzled after the Battle of Guam. That is, the Chinese aircraft carriers and fighter jets were obviously the same as the ones they flew, and were made in the United States. But why were they the ones who were ultimately defeated? Could it be It is said that in order to support China, the country gave the best to China and kept the defective products for itself.
Of course, Li Mei would never have such naive ideas, but his stubborn views on China are no different from other Americans. China is poor and backward, and the Chinese people are ignorant and uncivilized... ...Because of this preconceived view, when Li Mei suddenly discovered that China was by no means as poor and backward as he imagined, he gradually thought that going against China did not seem to be the right choice. It is conceivable that this would What kind of psychological shock it brought to him.
Li Mei stayed in Guangzhou for a total of three days. On the fourth day, he took a Golden Eagle to fly to Bangkok, where he was handed over to the U.S. Consulate General in Thailand.
While Li Mei was wandering around Guangzhou, in Singapore, Koizumi Toshiichiro was facing a painful choice. The Battle of Malan was finally decided at an unknown position. At the cost of nearly 200,000 casualties, the Japanese army's central defense line was breached. This means that the Kambang military industrial base that Koizumi has painstakingly built has now completely opened its door to the Chinese Expeditionary Third Army and has lost the value of holding on. In fact, Koizumi was already ready to give up when the Battle of Kambang started. However, because the Ganbang military industrial base was so important to the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, he discovered when the incident came that no matter what psychological preparation he had made before, when he actually faced this moment, He still felt unbearable pain.
The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, and the Third Expeditionary Army also had a difficult life. The battle at the two meat grinding yards caused the casualties of the Third Expeditionary Army to exceed 40%. In addition, the domestic logistics supplies did not keep up, so although Knowing that the next step was an excellent opportunity to capture the Japanese military industrial base east of Ganbang, Gu Zhutong and Sun Liren still chose to integrate their troops rather than launch an immediate offensive.
The rest and reorganization of the Third Expeditionary Army gave Koizumi Toshiichiro a chance to breathe. However, because he knew that it was inevitable to abandon the Ganbang military industrial base, this only increased his pain.
"Steel factories, aircraft factories, tank factories, and shipyards are all large-scale equipment, and the air control is in the hands of the Chinese. There is no other choice but to blow up. Fortunately, the workers were evacuated in time. In this case, if we have the equipment, we can still To be able to start over again, of course, this requires the support of the Americans. Your Excellency, I think what you should consider most at the moment is the 'Four Heads of State Meeting'. At this time, we need the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union to help us hold back the Chinese people." The coach was in pain. "Dog-headed strategist" Narumi Inoue also had a hard time, but because he knew that Koizumi would only listen to him at this time, he still had a strong spirit and helped Koizumi analyze the pros and cons.
If there was a slight possibility, Koizumi would consider using military means to fight against it. However, after the sinking of the Watergate aircraft carrier, once he thought about the threats he would have to face in the future not only from land, but also from the sea, his mood changed. I couldn't help but sink to the bottom of the sea, not daring to take any chances.
"It seems that the only option is to hand over the Philippines to the Americans. Although this will greatly damage our strength, it can completely bring the Americans in. Ba Ge, I don't believe it. We and the United States can't fight with all our strength. Win that person."
"If the United States is willing to help us build factories in New Guinea or Australia, I think this deal is very cost-effective."
"Then let's decide."
"The Chinese have won the victory." Stalin asked Vasilevsky while signing documents in the Kremlin.
"Yes."
"I heard that the Chinese's military strength is only one-fifth that of the Japanese. Is that true?" Stalin asked after stopping what he was doing.
"The total force ratio is like this. However, the Nanyang indigenous troops account for a large proportion of the Japanese army. You know, the so-called Nanyang indigenous troops do not have much combat power at all."
"What is China's battle loss ratio?"
"They say it's 20%, but according to my analysis, it's at least 40%. The Japanese invented a potion that can keep people in an extremely excited state for a certain period of time. It's not easy for the Chinese to win this battle."
"It's stimulants, I've heard of this. Ha, the Japanese seem to be driven crazy, and they would come up with such evil methods. Vasilevsky, this is the biggest difference between ZBZY and SHZY. In our Soviet Russia, such a thing would never happen, because our Red Army soldiers are the most heroic and capable of fighting among all countries."
"That's for sure."
"I originally expected to see the Chinese laugh, but I didn't expect the Japanese to be so useless. In this case, I have to give the Americans and Japanese a good beating in this meeting. By the way, there are also Britain, well, the Chinese thought we were afraid of them, but they didn’t know that we were just not prepared. Well, it’s time for the world to get to know us again.”
