One hundred and ninety first chapter gambling storm
November 18, 1933, was a worldwide day. A young Chinese general who attracted the attention of people all over the world, more appropriately called a warlord, claimed that he could destroy France within two months with only two million soldiers.
What was surprising was that the general was so confident that he would not admit his mistake even if he bet the French 10 billion US dollars. But when he was asked to reveal how he destroyed France, the young general asked the French to pay 2 billion US dollars.
The cost of subjugating the country. As for the German army that Wang Jiuling said, it was ignored by all newspapers except German newspapers.
In Germany, due to Hitler's new economic measures, the lives of the German people have been greatly improved. People saw Wang Jiuling saying that he could destroy France with only two million German troops, and they were discussing excitedly, although they did not
I believe that, but as Germany's mortal enemy, France, one of the main culprits in imposing the "Contract of Versailles" on the German people, is said so. How can the Germans be unhappy? What's more, they are talking about two million German troops, which means that Germany
People have this ability
At the Chancellery in Berlin, Germany, Hitler read the newspaper. Last time Wang Jiuling told him that France would be destroyed in consecutive months. Hitler only thought that Wang Jiuling was comforting him. Today he saw the newspaper again, and he was so quarreled that Hitler even asked Himmler to go to the appropriate place.
After wondering whether it was Wang Jiuling who said it, it turned out that he had forgotten to say it in front of reporters from various countries. The news was genuine. Hitler thought to himself, could this young man in China really have mastered something that could make Germany win in the two countries?
Defeat France within a month. If that's the case, wouldn't it be just around the corner to dominate Europe?
Hitler thought that if he could dominate Europe in his own hands, then...he didn't dare to think about it anymore. Although this was what he dreamed of, it was such an amazing idea. It was precisely because it was difficult to realize that he just thought about it.
, and then use this dream to inspire others, but Wang Jiuling’s words gave him hope that his dream could become a reality.
In the United States, after the newspaper revealed the news, Americans ridiculed Wang Jiuling wantonly. Although Wang Jiuling made good movies and the Black Star pistol was also good, they couldn't brag! So they could only laugh at Wang Jiuling.
In the White House, Roosevelt was reading a newspaper. A man in general uniform came and knocked on the door and said to Roosevelt: "Mr. President!"
Roosevelt said: "Lieutenant Colonel Marshall, look at this" and handed Marshall a newspaper about Wang Jiuling's remarks in France.
Marshall took the newspaper and took a look at it and said: "Mr. President, I have already read it."
Roosevelt said: "If I remember correctly, in the autumn of 1924, you were sent to the United States as the deputy commander of the 15th Infantry Regiment in Tianjin, China, and stayed there until the end of 2026. During the two years, you also learned Chinese.
What do you know about the Chinese people and what do you think about what is said in the newspapers?"
Marshall said: "Chinese people are generally reserved, but they are also very cunning. I think this young Chinese warlord must have an ulterior motive."
Roosevelt said: "Go on!"
Marshall said: "It is simply unimaginable to use two million soldiers to defeat France in two months. Even if you give him three million soldiers and let him attack China, which has almost no industrial base, he will not be able to defeat France in three months."
After the defeat, I will not analyze the strength of France. This young warlord rose from being an acting regiment commander to becoming a prince in just one year. It can be said that he is definitely very smart and not as stupid as he is.
What's wrong with the matter, but he did it. He wanted to bet 10 billion US dollars with France. If the French really agreed, what would he do? I don't think he would have thought of this, so I think he knew it clearly.
He will lose, but he resolutely bets 10 billion US dollars with the French, which means that he definitely has some shocking purpose. As for what it is, it is unknown. Maybe we will know it soon."
Roosevelt nodded. In fact, he was a hard-core figure. Unlike many people who had never engaged in isolationism, he knew that the Atlantic Ocean could not protect the United States, so he forgot that those words reminded him that if France was really defeated in such a short time,
Then the United Kingdom will be next, and the United States will be next, and in two or three months, the United States will not be able to react at all, so Roosevelt must be cautious, because this is also related to the survival of the United States.
"Lieutenant Colonel Marshall, if you were a German, how many troops and equipment would you need now to make the French surrender in two to three months?"
Marshall said: "If we have an army of two million, we will need 100,000 planes, and they will be planes that can bomb every place in France. The artillery will be enough to level the Maginot Line in half a month. But Mr. President, this is obviously
It’s impossible. The First World War proved that the French’s combat effectiveness is not weak.”
Roosevelt waved to Marshall to indicate that he could go down, then leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes tightly and wondered what he was thinking.
And Time Magazine is really doing the selection of Person of the Year. Now we finally have a photo of Wang Jiuling. He has to be the Person of the Year. I believe it will sell out.
British Prime Minister Ramsey Macdonald and his cabinet ministers are discussing this interesting topic in Downing Street, London, UK. They have not been so happy for a long time since the economic crisis.
Ramsey Macdonald said: "This yellow-skinned monkey actually came to Europe to run wild. I really don't know what the Gallic chicken thinks, but it can still tolerate him?"
Fatty Churchill, Minister of the Navy, said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, although the yellow-skinned monkey is indeed very arrogant, he does not pose a real threat to the empire. The Nazis in Germany have come to power, and Hitler's fascist revolution will bring disaster to Europe. If it is not immediately
To prevent or even lead to the destruction of civilization, I think we should rearm our armaments and encourage our ally France to strengthen its military power, rather than "reduce your weapons and increase your obligations." I have to say that although Churchill was very fat, he was still very good.
strategic vision
Ramsey Macdonald said: "Dear Lord Churchill, you are worrying too much. After World War I, there will never be such a cruel war again. Everyone in the world has watched the horror of world war. How can they still do it?"
Are you involved yourself? But your patriotism is worthy of praise!"
Churchill wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Ramsay Macdonald, "Let's go, there is a banquet at my house tonight, let's go together! Don't discuss those yellow-skinned monkeys, the French will handle that kind of thing themselves!"
Churchill had no choice but to follow. After World War I, Britain was filled with an atmosphere of pacifism. From party leaders to ordinary people, everyone advocated disarmament. The people naively believed that there would never be such a cruel war after World War I.
Churchill was one of the very few in Parliament who opposed disarmament and warned that Germany was tearing up the Treaty of Versailles. Churchill warned that Hitler's fascist revolution would bring disaster to Europe and that if it was not stopped immediately, it might even lead to the destruction of civilization.
He urged Britain to rearm its arms and encourage its ally France to strengthen its military power instead of "reduce your weapons and increase your obligations." However, most people regarded his warning as alarmist.
