Hoan Kiem Lake in the center of Xinjing is surrounded by green trees and beautiful scenery.
Chiang Kai-shek and An Yi walked under the green willows on the long embankment by the lake, chatting and laughing happily. When climbing uphill or going up and down bridges, An Yi stepped forward from time to time and gave them a few helping hands. They seemed to get along very harmoniously.
However, only those involved know that there are many knots hidden under the seemingly harmonious atmosphere.
Chiang Kai-shek stood by the lake embankment opposite Yushan Temple, looked at the quiet and quiet island in the lake, turned his head and asked: "An Yi, I want to take MacArthur and his army to Nanjing to help me train the army.
What do you think?"
An Yixin said it, pretending to be surprised and asked:
"Principal, isn't the current training of the Central Military Army based on the teaching materials I compiled at the Central Military Academy? Why do you suddenly think of letting Americans train the army now? They are not worthy at all-"
Chiang Kai-shek's smile suddenly disappeared, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
An Yi seemed to have not seen him and said solemnly: "Principal, it's not that I look down on the Americans. Their country's geographical location is extremely advantageous. For a long time, they have only focused on the navy and neglected the construction of the army. The combat effectiveness of the army is extremely pitiful. Now that the war has broken out, many troops
They are all newly formed and have no combat experience at all! When the US Secretary of State Mr. Hull visited South China last time, he also asked me for many instructors to come to the United States to help them organize and train the troops. If the principal expects the US military to come
If we try to improve the quality of our troops, I’m afraid we will be disappointed!”
Chiang Kai-shek frowned, then suddenly realized, thinking to himself, how could I have forgotten this incident?
We must know that the Japanese army defeated the British army in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and the American army retreated steadily. Only the Anjia army had a certain advantage when facing the Japanese army and won many times. Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that An Yi will
I no longer agree with the strength of the US military.
However, Chiang Kai-shek was originally a drunkard who did not care about drinking. This time when he went south, he used the slogan of visiting students and the business he created. In fact, he just wanted to bring Americans into the country and provide them with rare goods.
Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek forced out a smile again and said:
"An Yi, the General Staff Headquarters has formulated a combat plan to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese in April and May to demonstrate to the allies our determination to fight to the end. By then, all the main forces of the Central Army will participate in the war.
, I think General MacArthur is eager for revenge and will definitely be very happy to join our counterattack. You also know that the situation in China is very complicated. If the central government can get the help of the US Army, it will undoubtedly be a deterrent to local forces. Let's work together
Under this, the war can unfold better!"
An Yi did not have high expectations for MacArthur and his army. It seemed that having such an American army in hand would bring a lot of benefits, but now the Japanese navy controls shipping in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and
Burma and East India are controlled by the Japanese army. If you want to obtain US aid, you can only transfer it from port cities on the Arabian Sea to Central Asia via Persia and Afghanistan, and then transport it to the interior by Japan or Japan.
Due to the blockage of the Panama Canal, the naval power of the United States in the Pacific has been fundamentally weakened, and the British Navy has basically withdrawn from the Indian Ocean. Under such circumstances, even if the United States is willing to assist, it may not dare to organize a large fleet.
Transport strategic materials from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean.
Therefore, at least until the situation in the Pacific is fundamentally reversed, or before the Anjia army takes East India, Burma, and Malaya, MacArthur and his troops are spending money to buy shouts of money.
Chiang Kai-shek's explanation gave An Yi an excuse to let go. He pondered for a moment and said: "The principal can consult General MacArthur himself. If they are willing to go north, I will not stop them. Since the rainy season in Indochina and India is very fast,
will come. In a short period of time, our South China Army will focus on consolidating its existing territory and will not launch a counterattack against the Japanese army. Perhaps General MacArthur will be more useful in the Central Plains."
"ah!?"
Chiang Kai-shek looked at An Yi in surprise. He never expected that An Yi would so easily give up MacArthur and tens of thousands of American troops who had worked so hard to rescue him. After hesitating for a while, Chiang Kai-shek asked: "An Yi, you
Is there anything you need my help with?"
"Yes, I have!"
An Yi's answer made Chiang Kai-shek's heart tighten.
An Yi answered very directly: "Now Central Asia, India and West Asia need to be populated. We urgently need the support of the central government to launch mass migration again in the Huanghuai, Guangdong and Guangxi, Lianghu and Jiangnan regions. It is best to move the entire
Families go together... Principal, the large number of farms we are building are in great need of agricultural workers. After arriving at the destination, each family can receive a salary of at least 20 yuan a month. I think such conditions should attract
Many people."
"No problem, I can provide you with as many people as you want! But is this all you ask for?"
A smile appeared on Chiang Kai-shek's face.
Nowadays, domestic industry and commerce are developing rapidly, and all walks of life need people, but the rural population is still surplus.
Since the emergence of penicillin, streptomycin and other antibiotics, the population mortality rate has been greatly reduced, and China has begun to experience a population boom. Due to the victory in the Songhu Battle, China's most elite provinces such as Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi have been preserved, including the two lakes, Henan, and Shaanxi.
The land has a large number of people who have migrated from the Northeast, North China, and Shandong areas, and the land issue is still very acute. Being able to relocate these unrest factors would be a great benefit for the central government, which can greatly ease class conflicts.
An Yi said with a smile: "There is nothing else! Anyway, various domestic cooperation projects are now on the right track. As long as they develop step by step, students do not dare to have any unreasonable ideas."
Seeing that An Yi did not create difficulties, Chiang Kai-shek was in a good mood: "An Yi, I really should thank you! Over the past year, the Daye Iron Mine in Hubei, Ma'anshan Iron Mine in Anhui, Shizhuyuan in Chenzhou, Hunan, and Xihuashan in southern Jiangxi,
The tungsten mines in Dajishan, Kuaimeishan, and Pangushan areas, the Dexing and Maanshan copper mines in Jiangxi and southern Anhui, and the Longyan manganese mine in Fujian...the production capacity of these mineral deposits and supporting metal smelters has increased rapidly.
"Also, the Nanyang oil fields in Henan and Jianghan oil fields in Hubei have begun to produce oil. The gold output of gold mines such as Dongchuang in Henan and Jinlong in Shaanxi is extremely gratifying. In addition, other factories and enterprises that cooperate with Nanhua are making huge profits. With these basic industrial facilities and light
, the rapid development of heavy industry, and the great improvement of central finance, I am deeply gratified!"
“It’s all thanks to the principal’s leadership!”
An Yi complimented: "If it weren't for the principal's decision, most companies would probably still exist on paper, and it would be impossible to achieve what they are today. Both emotions and reasons are all the credit of the principal!"
Chiang Kai-shek was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear. After a while, the two of them moved forward again and walked side by side.
Chiang Kai-shek suddenly remembered something and asked: "An Yi, now your army has reached the Persian Gulf, and India also occupies half of it. These places are all British territory. I don't know how you will handle the relationship with Britain in the future.
?”
An Yi stretched out his hand, broke off a section of the willow branch he was rubbing on his head, brought it to his nose and sniffed, and then answered in an orderly manner:
"At present, the Axis Powers and the Allies are fighting together, and it is still unclear who will win. However, due to the participation of the United States in the war, the Allies have a much greater chance of victory. But even if the Allies win the final victory, it will still be difficult for Britain and France to return to Asia.
Britain has suffered successive disastrous defeats and suffered months of German bombings on its homeland. Now it has adopted an attitude of indifference to its colonies in Asia. They think that when the war is won, Britain will be able to influence the situation in Asia. But I may not
Will give them this opportunity."
Chiang Kai-shek's face became serious: "Are you sure you can face the British counterattack? Although the British were defeated in the naval battles of Malacca, Maldives and Seychelles Islands, the British's hundreds of years of accumulation are nothing but child's play? Once they are determined to fight against
How should you face South China's use of force? You must know that Britain and the United States are one, and the rise of us Chinese may not be what Americans want to see. Even Germany is not a rival to Britain and the United States, let alone..."
Having said this, Chiang Kai-shek shook his head repeatedly.
An Yi did not answer directly, but asked: "Principal, I wonder what you think of the Pacific War?"
Chiang Kai-shek said confidently: "Although the Panama Canal was destroyed by the Japanese, the U.S. Navy can bypass South America and reach New Zealand and Australia from the South Pacific. The Americans will never allow that nearly eight million square kilometers of continent
If it falls into the hands of the Japanese army, it will inevitably go all out.
"The British have now lost all their colonies in Asia. They will definitely not abandon Australia and New Zealand, and will also invest heavily in them. It can be said that Australia and the surrounding waters will become Japan and the United Kingdom for a long time.
The main battlefield of the confrontation between the United States and the United States. Although the Japanese are very strong, they do not have the strength to confront the world's top two powers. Even if they gain the upper hand for a while, in the long run, failure is inevitable!"
An Yi smiled slightly: "What if the Japanese army wins a decisive victory in Australia? The current Japanese army is not without such strength. They occupy the Far East, Lanyin, Malaya, Burma and East India.
A certain industrial base, especially in East India, has a large number of steel plants and military factories, as well as numerous hydropower and thermal power plants, which can produce a steady stream of weapons! Coupled with the large population resources in the occupied areas, millions of people can be organized in a short time
Even tens of millions of indigenous troops.
"When fighting in the tropics, these natives can exert all their strength. On the contrary, they are recruits recruited by the United Kingdom and the United States. They may not be accustomed to the acclimatization, which may cause problems of one kind or another. I dare say that unless we Chinese help, Britain and the United States will counterattack.
Australia, it’s going to be very difficult!”
Chiang Kai-shek frowned and thought, and after a long time he asked: "You mean... Britain and the United States might invite us to send troops?"
An Yi nodded: "Judging from the development of the situation, it is very likely that...the Japanese army is bound to win against Australia and New Zealand. Once they win the battles in New Guinea, New Britain and the Solomon Islands, they will definitely invest in
Heavy troops, launched a comprehensive attack on Australia. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, they completely gained control of the sea in the Pacific region. The U.S. Navy is now no match for the Japanese Navy. The Japanese army can launch landings everywhere in Australia. It can be said that at present,
The strategic situation is extremely beneficial to ***!
"The *** plus its overseas residents have a population of nearly 100 million. If you include the colonial population under control, there are about 300 to 400 million. If more than 5 million troops are invested in Australia at one go, this is definitely not something that the British and Americans can do.
Those who resist will definitely invite us to send troops when the time comes! Maybe this is our chance..."
Chiang Kai-shek was dumbfounded: "This... An Yi, you mean that we have hope of getting involved in Australia?"
"Nothing is impossible!"
An Yi laughed confidently: "Britain is very powerful, but if it loses Australia and New Zealand after losing its colonies in Asia, how much territory will the former empire that never sets on the empire have left to squander? For the sake of its own interests, the United States
Interests will inevitably encourage us to send troops, and we would rather be entangled with Britain... This will be something we can take advantage of in the future."
Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts were in confusion. It took him a long time to figure it out, but he still shook his head: "Don't forget that there is still the Soviet Union! There is a lot of Soviet territory in the places controlled by your army. The Soviet Union's strength is due to the non-aggression treaty signed with Germany.
After being saved, they are now marching towards the Urals. Once the Far East Republic is defeated, the Soviet Union will border Central Asia and Siberia. After the war, with the British pressing harder, the Soviet Union will definitely take the opportunity to attack and regain its lost territory!
"
At this time, the two came to a pavilion facing the lake. An Yi invited him to sit in. Chiang Kai-shek, who was a little dizzy from the sun, readily agreed.
Sitting on the bench, An Yi looked at the lake in the distance and said: "Principal, you are worried, but I am sure that the Soviet Union will not dare to take action!"
At this point, An Yi turned around, faced Chiang Kai-shek's puzzled gaze, and said: "There must be a war between Germany and the Soviet Union. As Turkey joins the Axis powers, this trend will become more obvious! According to my staff and
The intelligence agency speculates that Germany may invade the Soviet Union this year or at the turn of spring and summer next year!
"Originally I expected it to be next year, but Turkey's defection has greatly advanced this time. With the current superior strength of the Axis powers, they can sweep across the Middle East and North Africa within one to two months, driving the British army to the central and eastern parts of the country.
Go to Africa. Hitler is an interesting person. Although he also knew that fighting on two fronts would be very troublesome, he always believed that the existence of the Soviet Union was an important reason for encouraging Britain to continue fighting. Once Germany conquered Soviet Russia, then the European continent would really
With complete reunification, the British have no hope and will inevitably give up resistance and seek peace talks!
"The Non-Aggression Pact signed between Germany and the Soviet Union put no pressure on Hitler to overthrow it. He had torn up similar treaties many times before... Now the Soviet Union is fully attacking the Ural region occupied by the Far Eastern Republic.
, if everything goes well, fine, but once the war situation reaches a stalemate, then Hitler will definitely not give up this rare opportunity! I can guarantee that if the Soviet Union joins the war, the pots and jars at home will be smashed to pieces, and there is no way to threaten us! "
Chiang Kai-shek took a breath and asked in a trembling voice: "You mean...Germany will invade the Soviet Union? This...Hitler wouldn't be so unwise, right?"
"Although Germany's navy strives to develop, it is still far behind the British!"
An Yi sighed: "Compared with taking the risk of sending troops across the English Channel by ship, attacking the Soviet Union by land is relatively less dangerous! Junior Brother Jinan visited Europe this time and had many exchanges with Hitler's head of state, and attacked first
England has repeatedly argued with Hitler on the issue of taking down the Soviet Union first. Judging from the current situation, Hitler prefers to solve the Soviet Union first, and then turn around to solve the British problem!
"Germany's expansion is full of dangers. Neither I nor Junior Brother Ji Nan can guarantee whether Hitler will continue to reach out to the East after conquering the Soviet Union. Germany's resources determine that it will not be like the United States.
Both the navy and the army must be given equal priority, and the development of the same can only be given priority. The army is undoubtedly a trump card in Hitler's hand. He cannot actively weaken this huge war monster. It will be a sharp sword hanging over our heads! Therefore, in the future,
Junior Brother Nan didn’t argue with reason, now it depends on Hitler’s decision!”
"Hitler was really a madman..."
Chiang Kai-shek wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and said: "At least I don't have that much courage! However, if Germany really conquers the Soviet Union, and if Japan wins the battle in Australia, then the international situation may really change.
Axis tilt!”
An Yi nodded: "Yes, but only in this way can our importance be highlighted..."
At this time, Liu Qing, director of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, came quickly. After entering the pavilion, he first saluted Chiang Kai-shek and then handed the document to An Yi.
After reading it, An Yi said to Chiang Kai-shek: "The Turkish army suddenly moved south to Syria. Its forwards have joined forces with the Japanese army in Aleppo. The British army, together with the Yugoslav, Greek and Arab forces, began to retreat towards Damascus in southwest Syria. The situation in the Middle East
Completely rotten..."
