After the Chinese troops made a large-scale landing in Japan, they quickly aroused major repercussions internationally.
Germany, which has risen strongly, still shows high support for China's military actions. Adolf Hitler praised this move as "it will bring peace and freedom to the Japanese people."
The same goes for Mussolini, the ruler of Italy. This means that a China-Germany-Italy alliance has been formed.
The United Kingdom and France expressed implicit condemnation of this. Obviously, they do not want China's power to expand so rapidly in the Far East, and they have already felt a lot of pressure.
The United States is more ambiguous and unpredictable.
In everyone's opinion, President Cornwell S. Pitt of the United States is the staunchest friend of President Wang Hengyue of the Republic of China. Not long ago, President Pitt visited China and signed a large number of cooperation agreements.
However, after China landed in Japan, the United States' response was slow. After Germany, Italy, Britain, and France expressed their stance, the United States showed limited support and reminded China that it should fulfill its responsibilities as a big country and assist China.
Japan completed the process of democratization instead of engaging in an aggressive war that Japan and the world did not want to see.
This stance is strange. The United States seems to be conveying a sense of dissatisfaction. However, this attitude of the United States was completely expected by Wang Hengyue.
"China's dominance in Asia is not in the interest of these traditional powers." Wang Hengyue could not see any disappointment on his face, and even had a smile: "Now Peter is not just my friend.
His most important identity is that of the president of a big country, and at least from this point of view, he has been very successful."
Yu Lei frowned: "But the United States' statement still has a certain impact on us..."
"Leave it alone, that's what I want to see."
Yu Lei was a little surprised by Hengshuai's words, but he still listened to Hengshuai continue: "Let the American side go and let Pete make trouble for two years. The focus is on Japan. This war is obviously a
It is an arduous war. Although Japan's land area is small and its military strength has been severely weakened, it is related to the life and death of the country. Japan will still fight. Our casualties will be very large, and the implementation speed will not be fast.
Therefore, while carrying out military offensives, political agitation is also necessary. I have given orders to Dai Li, and all agents of the military commander in Japan have become active and caused chaos in the hearts of the Japanese, as has your central commander."
Yu Lei nodded.
Previously, the Central Command and the Military Command had been extremely active in Japan, and a large number of latent agents began to take action to create chaos in Japan as much as possible, causing panic among the Japanese, and cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party in frontal battlefield operations.
The operational policy formulated by the President, the Ministry of National Defense, and the General Staff is to end the war in Japan by the end of 1937, or at the latest in early 1938. By that time, in the process of rebuilding a new Japan, these Chinese forces who had been lurking in Japan for a long time
Agents are bound to play a greater role.
But now it seems that the president's thoughts are not entirely on Japan.
"The war is coming soon..." This is the most common phrase on the lips of the president since 1937.
It seems that this is indeed the case. Germany's actions in Europe have become increasingly large, its military strength is rapidly recovering and expanding rapidly, and its ambitions are already known to everyone.
And once a war breaks out, what choice will China make? No one knows yet. But at this time, no one in the Chinese government has any doubts about the president's choice. At least for now,
All the president's choices are correct.
"Go and prepare, Deguang." Wang Hengyue said thoughtfully: "These few years will be the most important years. Your work will be very heavy, heavier than ever..."
"I understand, Hengshuai." Yu Lei said softly. He hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Su Ying is also going to Germany with Chunxuan..."
"I know, I arranged it." Wang Hengyue smiled faintly: "I have been friends with you for so many years..."
He originally wanted to say, "We have been friends for so many years..." but suddenly he realized that the word "friend" did not apply to him and Yu Lei at all. They had never been friends!
What is the relationship between them? Wang Hengyue is a little confused. Is it a superior-subordinate relationship? Or is it a relationship of mutual use?
But no matter what, at least in these years, Yu Lei has been loyal to him. Thinking of this, Wang Hengyue said slowly: "We have been friends for so many years, and I think our next generation will also be friends."
Yu Lei was a little grateful. This was the first time Heng Shuai described their relationship as "friends". In Yu Lei's life, he had everything but no friends.
"Heng Shuai..." Yu Lei regained his composure: "Now we can consider Chunxuan's succession."
"Succession?" Wang Hengyue was startled at first, then laughed: "If I die, my son will take over and continue to be the president? Then my son dies, and my grandson will take over? Can we create a royal dynasty? Deguang
What's the difference between this and being an emperor? No, I don't want to be this emperor... Whether Chunxuan becomes a general or a company commander and battalion commander in the future, it's all his business, and I won't get involved.
,Will not......"
Yu Lei seemed a little stubborn on this issue: "Heng Shuai, it is only natural for a son to succeed his father. Besides, whether they are old people or young people in the army, they were all promoted by you. As well as the Congress, the economic circle, and the military commander.
, Zhongtong, there are too many people, they are all your people, they will not allow the rights of this country to fall by the wayside. If Chunxuan is a second-generation ancestor and a prodigal son, then there will naturally be objections, but if Chunxuan really
Do you have this ability?"
Wang Hengyue remained silent.
Yu Lei talked about the core issue. The army and government are all composed of his own people. Once they are determined to put Wang Ding in his position, this force will be so huge that even he cannot control it.
Wang Ding may not have any big problems yet, but what happens after Wang Ding? Who will manage this country? In this era of our own, we have established a democratic country under dictatorship. What will happen in the future?
It is absolutely impossible for one family to control this country from beginning to end. This will be a disaster for the country. There are too many such lessons in Chinese history.
But, how should we guide it? Wang Hengyue really has a headache.
The issue of successors, if you are not careful, the efforts of the predecessors will be in vain... There is also the issue of one-party governance, which should also be solved. These are not conducive to the future development of the country.
.....
...
"Tomorrow you will go to Germany with Chunxuan." After leaving the Presidential Palace and returning to his home, Yu Lei called his son Yu Suying in front of him: "I know that you have problems with me and are dissatisfied with me as a father.
, I think I shouldn’t have done anything sorry to your mother in Taiwan, but what I’m talking to you about now is not the grudge between father and son, but the future of our Yu family.”
Yu Suying nodded, looking very calm.
Yu Lei was a little relieved, but also a little worried.
This son is so much like me, calm and even a little indifferent, no emotion is shown on his face, and in some aspects he has surpassed himself.
He knew that his son had never forgiven him in his heart, and always believed that he had betrayed their mother and son. He tried his best not to think about this:
"Su Ying, the interests of our Yu family are always related to the Wang family. If the Wang family prospers, my Yu family will prosper; if the Wang family fails, my Yu family will fail first. You must keep this in mind."
"I know, I will try my best." Yu Suying said calmly, and then suddenly added: "For me and for my mother, I will try my best to assist Wang Ding and be a person like my father."
Yu Lei suddenly laughed loudly: "Su Ying, Su Ying, you still can't control your emotions. For yourself and for your mother, you can only keep these words in your heart, and you can't say them in front of me. This will only make people angry."
I'm wary of you. If you want revenge, you can't show any emotion!"
Yu Suying pursed her lips and said no more words...
"Go get ready!"
Yu Lei waved his hand and asked his son to leave first.
When Yu Suying walked out slowly, Yu Lei sat down slumped. At this moment, he was completely different from the person he was a few minutes ago.
Somewhat lost, some sad.
Are he and Su Ying still father and son? Should father and son say such things? They are wary of each other, and their biological son is obsessed with how to gain greater power so that he can deal with him in the future?
Is it because I am old and no longer understand the hearts of these young people?
He heard a sound coming from outside, stood up, walked to the window and looked, and saw that his wife Su Yu was sadly explaining how her son should take care of his health after he went abroad.
At this moment, Yu Lei suddenly felt that everything his son had done was forgivable. He was only grievances for his mother. He had owed them so much over the years.
He has never interfered with his son's affairs. This has been the case since he was a child. His wife has always lived there with his son. If it were him, this resentment would be deeper and heavier.
He saw his son glance at him, as if he had discovered him. Then he found that his own son had resentment in his eyes.
Yu Lei smiled bitterly and returned to his position!
