On November 2, the situation in the Pacific changed dramatically. The Japanese army suddenly parachuted into Sydney. The heads of the Australian government and Australian military officials who were presiding over the war there were suddenly made dumplings by the Japanese army. Australian Prime Minister Menzies and the Minister of War
Piercy and Spender surrendered, and then the two jointly signed an order requiring the Australian troops who were resisting across Australia to surrender their weapons to the Japanese...
After the news came, the whole world was shocked. The treasonous issue of Wang Jingwei Group, which originally had a huge impact, was immediately diluted;
A week ago, Wang Jingwei broadcast a speech titled "How to Achieve Peace" in Cantonese on the Japanese and puppet radio station in Tianjin, using despicable tactics of sowing discord and continuing his shameless campaign:
"As long as the administrative authorities at the front and rear, as well as the generals with the army, understand that there is hope for true peace, and that this peace is not harmful to the independence and freedom of the country and the nation, they will break away from Chiang Kai-shek's deceptive propaganda and get rid of Chiang Kai-shek's control.
Strength..." "The first step in peace action is to publicly endorse and
To achieve peace, eliminate all the conspiracies and crimes of reactionary forces such as Nanhua in the areas within our reach, safeguard local public security, and protect the safety of people's lives, freedoms, and property; the second step is to unite all political forces in favor of peace and publicly demand
Chiang Kai-shek puts the country and the nation first and will no longer be an obstacle to peace!"
When An Yi heard this broadcast, he was dealing with government affairs summarized and submitted by the Secretariat. After listening to these nonsense peaceful remarks, he couldn't help but smile. He knew very well that Wang Jingwei's profound words were mainly aimed at the target audience.
South China
The purpose of the powerful warlords Zhang Fakui, Deng Longguang, Li Hanhun, Yu Hanmou and others was to induce them to leave the anti-Japanese camp, openly surrender to Japan, recruit an exploitable army for Wang Jingwei, and even hope to gain territory without bloodshed.
It is a pity that Wang Jingwei was short-sighted in the end. He only saw that Zhang Fakui and others had cooperated with him for a long time to fight against Chiang Kai-shek, but he did not see the current anti-Japanese trend across the country. He did not see that all parts of South China were under the direct threat of the Anjia Army. Once there was any change, the first
It will be these warlords who will suffer for a while.
Facing the Anjia Army, which even the Japanese troops were beating to a pulp, these South China warlords must think carefully. Coupled with the unclear prospects of the United States joining the war, in this era when guns are the king, it is wise to protect oneself wisely.
.
As expected, Wang Jingwei's vigorous performance was ignored by the powerful warlords. Just two days later, Li Hanhun, the governor of Guangdong Province, sent a telegram to the whole country, saying, "I received Wang Ni's broadcast here and immediately ordered my subordinates to take strict precautions against killing the officers and soldiers of Xiaoyu."
Don't be deceived..." As if feeling this way was not enough to express his innocence, Li Hanhun made another radio speech, saying, "It is better to denounce Wang Ni's fallacies and his treason against the party and the country...".
Three days ago, Zhang Fakui, Yu Hanmou, Liang Hancao and others successively issued speeches resolutely drawing a clear line with Wang Jingwei, exposing that "Wang Ni Jingwei is shameless, and his words and deeds are comparable to those of Qin Shuan and Wu Sangui in the Song and Ming Dynasties. They pretended to be public, but in fact they harmed
Even if the country is hacked to pieces, it is not enough to prove his crime...".
In addition to using radio to refute, the military and political leaders in South China also called again and again to appeal, and mobilized Bei County in Guangdong to unanimously hold a "rapture meeting" to "completely crush the conspiracy."
Amid this wave of anti-Wang sentiments, the Nanjing government took advantage of the situation and issued the "Order on the Nationwide Strict Punishment of Wang Zhaoming's Collaboration with the Enemy and Harm to the Country," stating: "Wang Zhaoming violated national policy, ignored the righteousness, and left his post when the whole country was united in the war against Japan.
They want to create peace talks in vain, and respond to the enemy’s fallacies, hoping to confuse people’s minds and thwart their plans...”, and strictly ordered all military and political agencies across the country to “strictly monitor their affairs, punish them in accordance with the law, and enforce discipline!”
Subsequently, the Kuomintang Central Committee announced that Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai, Chen Bijun, Mei Siping, Gao Zongwu, Ding Moyou and others would be expelled from the party and would never be allowed to return to the party.
However, Wang Jingwei's remarks, in the current international context in which the Japanese and German armies are singing triumphant songs, still confuse a large number of people, such as Zhao Zunyue, director and responsible secretary of Shenbao, Ben Deguang, the son of Ju Chunxuan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the late Qing Dynasty, and Shanghai Guangzhou
Fu Shi, Provost of Xiamen University, said that Xu Shanbo, son of Xu Qin, Kang Youwei’s disciple, formerly of Wuhan
Yang Caiyi, the chief of staff of He Chengjun, the pacifier leader, Liu Yufen, the former chairman of the Gansu government, Bao Wenchao, the former commander of the Peking Guards, Zheng Datong, the former cavalry commander of the Northeast Army, Liu Peixu, the former division commander under Tang Shengzhi, Ye Peng, the former Wuhan garrison commander, and the former Nanjing Army officer
Luo Junqiang, the school's chief political instructor, and others gathered around Wang Jingwei.
At the same time, Ding Mobu and Li Shiqun, the main leaders of the Wang Puppet spy agency, also recruited a group of unsuccessful personnel from the military command and the Central Command with the support of Japan, including Tang Huiming, Mao Ziming, Jian Jianwu
, Ye Yaoxian, Zhang Zhengfan and other generals greatly increased their momentum, and the military and central unification forces in North China and Shandong were greatly damaged.
With a force of agents supporting them, security was initially guaranteed. On November 1, Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai, Mei Siping, Tao Xisheng, Zhu Minyi, Ding Moyou and others announced to the outside world after secret discussions.
, will convene the Sixth National Congress of the Kuomintang in Tianjin in order to obtain "party unity" and come to power in good name.
An Yi scoffed at this.
We must know that according to the organizational regulations of the Kuomintang, the National Party Congress must be held with representatives elected by various provinces and cities, special branches and overseas branches. The Wang puppet wants to produce representatives of party departments at all levels without any grassroots organizational foundation. It is purely
Idiots dream.
However, given Wang Jingwei's current level of shamelessness, it is not difficult to imagine what means he will use to achieve his goal.
In An Yi's eyes at this time, the once unattainable Wang Zhuhui, who was once aloof and unreachable, has become an out-and-out political clown. No matter how joyfully he dances, he is just a mandarin who has turned his back and is unable to affect the overall situation.
.
Nanhua, Xinjing, Xiaonanhai, Xuanwu Building Conference Room, the highest meeting of the Nanhua Military Affairs Committee is in progress.
Military Councilor and Deputy Chief of General Staff General Yang Fei stood in front of a large military map:
"Currently, the most watched thing in the world is the unprecedented scale battle held by Su Dezi outside Moscow. I believe everyone is very familiar with the battle reports during this period. In short, the German army achieved victory on all fronts.
, is gradually approaching outside Moscow.
"However, we must see that as winter gradually approaches, the situation becomes more and more unfavorable to the German army. First of all, the season of continuous autumn rain and muddy roads has arrived. The German army's actions have become slower and slower, and sometimes they have to stop advancing.
, the tanks that were fighting had to be left behind to tow the cannons and ammunition carts that were stuck in the mud. Due to the lack of steel chains and draw hooks required to tow the vehicles,
, the German high command had no choice but to send transport planes to airdrop bundles of ropes. Especially in late October, when there was heavy rain, the German army was extremely embarrassed. The infantry slipped step by step in the mud, and each cannon had to be pulled by many cavalry before it could move forward. All vehicles were
Stuck in the mud pit, all the way to the axle part, it is very difficult for even the tractor to move. So far, many German heavy artillery have been unable to move!
"Secondly, due to insufficient preparations, the German army has not been able to effectively replenish its soldiers until now. Due to continuous operations, some companies now have only more than ten people left, and the number of tanks and artillery available for use is also seriously insufficient, especially
Winter is coming, but now the Germans don’t even have any winter clothes.
I saw that in the vast forest and swamp areas far behind, due to Germany's stupid national policy, guerrillas have begun to appear. German railways are often destroyed, transport teams are often ambushed, and frontline supplies are faced with interruptions.
Dilemma. "Third, since yesterday, more than two hundred
The elite Far Eastern Army has begun to mobilize to the Western Front. The first batch of participating troops will be inspected by Stalin on the Red Square in Moscow on the 7th of this month, and then head to the front line. Due to well-known reasons, the Far Eastern Army's seven-concave tanks
Heavily influenced by our Panther tank which had
With the shadow of our Tiger tanks, the Lager 444, MiG 4 and Yak 4 fighters equipped by its air force are all affected by our Q million fighters, and they are not inferior to Germany's weapons and equipment. From some kind of
In a sense, the participation of the Far East Army in the war will become the last weight to overwhelm Germany!"
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room. The tragic defeat that Napoleon experienced in Russia could be said to be a required course for every officer who had gone through military academies. The current experience of the German army seemed to be replicating the nightmare of the French back then.
Yin Jinan, who was ordered to return to Beijing for a meeting, has a deep affection for Germany. Although South China and Germany are no longer as close as they were in the early days of the war, they still have normal trade exchanges. The railways and highways invested and built by Germany are in operation, and the hydropower stations provide
Electricity is serving industry. Hearing that Germany is very likely to face its first defeat, sitting in the first place on An Yi's right hand
He took the initiative to stand up and said with emotion: "The current war situation is indeed gradually tilting towards the Soviet side, but if Hitler decisively cuts off his men, there is still hope to restore the decline. What Hitler needs to do now is not to go on the offensive, but to decisively build a strong defense in the rear."
Defensive barriers, and then gradually retreat the troops around Moscow, so as to avoid large losses of troops.
"In any case, the German army has now wiped out nearly three million Soviet troops in the battles of Minsk, Smolensk, Leningrad, Kiev and the Moscow peripheral battle. Our Anjia Army has always attached great importance to the elimination of effective forces and despised them.
The combat ideas of occupying land coincide with each other.
"At least since the beginning of the Soviet-German war, it was the German army, not the Soviet army, that made a profit! I believe that with the series of difficult situations encountered outside Moscow, Hitler will wake up and change his strategy in time, and even in the future, even if the Soviet army
Joining the Far East Army only makes up for the initial consumption, and the overall pattern is still that Germany is strong and Su is weak!"
An Yi felt slightly uncomfortable, but considering that Yin Jinan had served as a military attaché in Germany for nearly three years, it was understandable that he had deep feelings for Germany. He then asked:
"Jinan, in your heart, do you want Germany to win or the Soviet Union to win? You must know that although the Soviet Union has not joined the Allies yet, according to information revealed by President Roosevelt several times in the phone call, the Soviet Union has sent a large diplomatic mission to Washington.
Negotiate to join the Allies to unite against the Axis invasion!
From this point of view, we should stand on the side of the Soviet Union!"
Having said this, An Yi simply stood up, paced back and forth for a while, and then said: "For a long time, we have implemented a policy of being close to Germany. The main reason for this is that among the great powers, only the failed countries in the last European War
Germany is willing to open up technology to us or engage in equal-value trade without any political purpose attached.
"The series of achievements we have achieved today, especially the technological development that is better than the previous, are due to the foundation of German advanced technology. Our weapons and equipment, from pistols and rifles to machine guns and cannons, all have the shadow of the Germans. We
Most of our foreign scientists are Jews who have been excluded by Germany. At the same time, many of our military academy students are also sent to Germany, and they have very close exchanges with each other.
"In addition, both China and South China, before the outbreak of the war, were weak colonial and semi-colonial countries, and they were big fat sheep that could be slaughtered at will in the eyes of the great powers. Since the Opium War, Britain, France, the United States and other countries have not considered our country and nation
Seeing it, the Chinese are here
Its international status is very low. Therefore, we urgently need a country to stand up and break this almost fixed hierarchical division between countries, break the tradition of white people being superior, and as the last European War
Germany, a failed country, is the best target!
"Brothers, you may wish to recall that two years ago when Germany launched an attack on Poland and Britain and France declared war on Germany, who was optimistic that Germany would achieve what it is today? Who thought that we in South China would become a disruptor of today's international situation? Think again
Think about it, if the former No. 1 Army Strong
Unless France is conquered by Germany, Britain, known as the Empire on which the sun never sets, loses its vast colonies, and its homeland is not bombed to pieces, who will face the existence of China and South China?
Is it just because of their kindness to return our cultural relics?
"Thinking about the faces of the great powers when Japan invaded China during the July 7th Incident, and then comparing the current international status of China and South China, everyone should understand that it is precisely because of Germany's disruption that our country and nation gradually became more similar to the great powers.
It’s called Wan’s strength. From this point of view, the Germans are indispensable!
"However, after the Germans have done this, do we have to respond in good faith? We have previously explored oil in Germany, Austria, and Libya and partially solved Germany's fuel problem. Have we been rewarded? If Germany successfully defeated
What will happen to the Soviet Union, whose territory borders ours?
With Hitler's arrogance, would he allow such an unstable factor to exist?
"All of this is worthy of our deep thought! In my opinion, in this battle of Moscow, it is better for Germany to defeat. In this way, there will be a Soviet Union that always fights and will not surrender as a buffer between us and the Germans. We can still
Through the existence of the Soviet Union, the power of the Axis and Allies continued to be balanced..."
"balance!?"
Xia Jian asked in surprise: "Boss, you mean...the power of the Axis Powers has begun to surpass that of the Allies? This..." This is impossible..." The United States is so powerful, I really can't figure out how they can
You might lose your spider…”…
An Yi smiled bitterly: "Xia Jian, you heard it right, it's balance! Although the United States is powerful, industrial production is not something that can be achieved overnight. It needs continuous accumulation! Americans are used to being comfortable. When the war broke out, most factories were still
In civilian production, we must obey the people
There is a process of transformation when it is converted from use to military use! There is also a problem. There is no inventory of the weapons and equipment produced by these factories. Almost all of them are put into use immediately after leaving the factory. They are continuously consumed in the Pacific and Indian Ocean battlefields. For the time being, they cannot reflect the industrial status.
Advantages!
"Furthermore, unlike the Japanese who receive military and civilian education from an early age, American youths are content with enjoying themselves and suddenly join the military. It takes at least a year or more to transform from a civilian to a qualified soldier. At least under the current situation.
Next, Germany and Japan have a certain upper hand. What Americans need most is time!
"I have to say that the Axis powers are too powerful now. Since the Japanese army occupied Sydney yesterday, Japan has actually become the new master of the Australian continent, a country covering an area of more than 8 million square kilometers, with complete industrial categories and extremely rich resources.
I think everyone knows what the mainland means to Japan. If the front continues to attack while the rear has stable development for another year or two, Japan's industry and agriculture will be in trouble..."
Seeing everyone whispering, it seemed that there was a lot of controversy about this, An Yi asked the Minister of Intelligence Liu Qing to use a slide to release a set of data:
As of the end of last year, Australia's total industrial output value was US$12 billion, including ores, glass, chemicals, steel, textiles, tanning, tobacco making, wine making, wood, furniture, paper making, printing, electrical, rubber,
Industrial sectors such as electrical appliances, engines, shipbuilding, automobiles, tractors, and even complete industrial systems including musical instruments, jewelry, porcelain, etc., and the level of technology and mechanization is very high.
The development of industry and agriculture has brought progress to the transportation industry. As of December last year, Australia already had 7 kilometers of railways between Anhui and Anhui. The annual freight volume reached 80,000 tons, the passenger volume reached 10,000, and the number of railway employees.
In addition to the 10,000 people, there is also a road network extending in all directions. As of last year, there were 10,000 kilometers of roads and about 10,000 vehicles of various types.
At the same time, Australia also has an astonishing performance in aviation and navigation. Last year, the passenger volume of civil aviation was 1.5 billion, the cargo volume reached tens of thousands of tons, and the mail volume reached more than 5,000 tons. At the same time, it has established a relatively complete
Cargo network, civil aircraft fly nearly 10,000 kilometers throughout the year.
All major cities in the country are open to navigation, and foreign aviation has also been opened, and you can sail to the United Kingdom and the United States. In terms of shipping, by the end of last year, Australia had a shipping company, more than a dozen ships of all sizes, and all important coastal ports were open to navigation, and sailing to Europe.
Asia, Africa, North and South America have large ports.
In terms of agriculture, the sown area has reached tens of thousands of acres, mainly growing wheat, barley, corn, oats, potatoes, sugar cane, beans, etc. The total value of the main agricultural products reaches hundreds of millions of pounds.
In terms of animal husbandry, the number of sheep in Australia last year has reached more than 10,000 tons of wool. At the same time, last year Australia already had cattle, horses plowing rocks, and pigs ps2
, heads, by-products of animal husbandry, such as cattle, sheep, pig skins, bristles, milk, beef and mutton, and the cheese industry are developing rapidly. Cheese, milk powder, canned beef and mutton, etc. are all excellent military supplies.
"Have you seen it? Japan has the Australian continent, which is equivalent to having a stable and sustainable industrial machine that can provide power. Everything can be created continuously. It is not as dense as the East Indians. The entire Australia is eight hundred
There are only two to three million people in 10,000 square kilometers. It is entirely possible to consolidate the possession of this continent through immigration. This is completely different from driving Indians to engage in industrial production!"
An Yi saw everyone frowning and thinking, and continued: "With the Japanese army already gaining significant advantages in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, if the Germans are allowed to win the Battle of Moscow, then the power of the Allies will be severely hit, and it may even be possible
It will destroy the British confidence in resistance! Once the British surrender, Europe will become Hitler's Europe, and both the United States and us will face the fate of being isolated!
Therefore, from our standpoint, the Germans cannot win no matter what!"
Yin Jinan turned pale and murmured: "So, we will not provide the four million sets of cotton-padded clothes that the German government urgently needs to purchase to them?"
An Yi knew that Yin Jinan was careless and confused, so he said sincerely:
"Jinan, although we don't want Germany to win, we don't want them to lose too badly. I know Hitler called you, hoping that through your mediation, the German army can get these life-saving cotton-padded clothes as soon as possible, but they don't
Why should we give them real money and silver?"
The Central Asia and West India regions occupied by Nanhua are the largest cotton-producing areas in the world, and Mumbai is the largest cotton spinning industry center city in the world. Four million sets of cotton clothes is not too much for Nanhua, who has been prepared for it. The problem
It was Hitler who was used to being arrogant. Although the German army was now facing a huge crisis, he still refused to put down his arrogance and actually wanted to buy this batch of life-saving munitions at ordinary prices.
As early as the middle of the year, An Yi ordered the mass production of cotton-padded clothes in order to make a fortune from the Battle of Moscow. Hitler was so unreasonable, so naturally the deal could not be reached. Currently, the trade representatives of both sides are still in a stalemate in Bombay. Seeing that the agreement cannot be reached
At the end, Hitler tried to use Yin Jinan to win over him in order to save face, but Hitler couldn't get An Yi to let go unless he paid more gold.
Gu Changfeng, who was sitting next to Yin Jinan, was a little surprised: "It turns out it's not that we don't want to sell, but that Hitler doesn't want to use the money to buy it? Does he think we are a welfare institution?"
An Yi shook his head and explained: "It's not that the Germans don't give money, but that they give less! For Germany, this is what saves their destiny, and it cannot be measured by the value of ordinary commodities... In the final analysis, it is still
Since the beginning of the war, Germany has been going smoothly, and its continuous victories have nourished Hitler's arrogant character! In fact, we maintain trade relations with Germany, which is already a good deal for him. Otherwise, even if he takes the money, no one will sell so much.
Give them cotton-padded clothes!”
"What the chairman said is true!"
Chang Baofang, Minister of General Logistics, stood up: "Now not only the Germans are in urgent need of cotton clothes, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States also need winter clothing! Especially the Soviet Union, which has no cotton-producing areas in Central Asia, and Ukraine in Europe.
Traditional cotton-producing areas such as Belarus and Belarus were also completely destroyed by the war. If the Soviet Union under the planned economy did not have a lot of inventory, it is expected that it would be difficult to survive this winter!
"The United Kingdom has successively lost cotton-producing areas such as India, the Middle East and Australia, and now South Africa is also caught in the war. The cotton supply has basically been cut off, and it can only rely on outsourcing! The problem in the United States is that the continuous military expansion has led to a tight supply of military uniforms, and their cotton production
Although all of them have been converted to military use, the production of winter coats still cannot meet the demand. The American troops stationed in the UK need winter coats to keep out the cold! Therefore, our cotton coats are not worried about the market. Who we sell to them mainly depends on strategic needs!"
Yin Jinan nodded repeatedly: "Leave this matter to me! I guess Hitler hasn't realized what is waiting for him yet. I have to fly to Berlin in person to convince him to repent... Last time he ordered the return of Chinese cultural relics, to
Now the Chinese cultural relics stolen by Germany and France have basically entered our warehouse. On behalf of the Republic of South China, I cannot thank him enough to say thank you personally!"
"All right!"
An Yi did not insist and said: "Jinan," you are no longer the military attache stationed in Germany, but the highest military and political chief in the northern region of the Republic of South China. You know what to say and what not to say... But I think with Hitler's paranoia, even if you
Tell him that the situation is dangerous, but he may not listen..." "Brother one by one..."
Yin Jinan looked straight at An Yi, his face full of determination: "I know what to do, and I will not betray my country for glory! In fact, I also understand that the root cause of Germany's fall into the quagmire of the Soviet-German war lies in the policies pursued by Hitler.
Regarding the policy of ethnic cleansing, I heard that when the German army first entered the Soviet Union, the people wherever they went, whether it was the Baltic countries, Poland, Belarus or Ukraine, were enthusiastically welcomed.
"But what did the German army give them? Burning, killing, looting, concentration camps, serfs from the farms stolen by the Junker nobles, and free labor for building railways and roads! The result is what it is now, from the Soviet-German border to the city of Moscow,
There are guerrillas everywhere, the transportation and supply lines in the rear are always under threat, and defeat is looming!
"I want to make one point: Everything in Germany now is based on the continuous victory of its army. If it suffers a terrible defeat due to the Soviet counterattack, Hitler is likely to be abandoned by the military. The huge German Third Reich has
It may collapse in an instant like Napoleon's empire..." Germany's failure is too fast, which is obviously not in our interests! Don't worry, brother, I know what to do to our benefit, and I will try my best to create a situation that is beneficial to both parties!
"
"I trust you!"
An Yi smiled encouragingly: "Jinan, just do what you want..." In fact, I am crossing the river by feeling the stones now, and I don't know what is the right way to do it! By the way, let me report one more situation -
According to reliable intelligence, the Japanese army is occupying Australia
After that, it is very likely to adjust the deployment of troops and launch an offensive against the United States. Its heavy troops will gradually be transferred to the Northeast and Far East regions, waiting for opportunities to launch attacks on the Alaska region of the United States. If we confront them rashly, we will face an unprecedentedly brutal war.
war!
"Therefore, my view is that after winning battles in Malaya, Burma and East India in the next month or two, our work will focus on carrying out land reform in the above areas, solving the people's food and clothing problems, and then eliminating ethnic conflicts
Above, we strive to use two to three years to restore the original factory strength in these areas, develop a group of military-industrial enterprises, and consolidate our rule over these areas!
"All in all, before the Japanese army launches an attack on the mainland of the United States, it is not appropriate for us to recover the Far East and Northeast China and protect the Americans from disaster! After the Japanese army advances eastward, we will consider pulling out the fire and sending troops to the Far East and Northeast China to lay the foundation for our strength in one fell swoop!
"
No one doubts An Yi's intelligence source, and everyone knows how accurate An Yi's judgment of the international situation is. Moreover, this battle of just over a month has almost exhausted Nanhua's strategic reserves. It will indeed take some time.
Restoration was carried out so that the meeting was unified in its thinking within a very short period of time.
