Chapter 214: Off Track

"The U.S. government is isolationist, and as long as we don't occupy Australia, I don't think the rest of the country will provoke their Congress to approve the use of force. Pinshu.com "Itagaki Seishiro thought about it and said what he thought.

"Let's go, let's go to the Emperor!" Hideki Tojo also stood up, and he agreed with Seishiro Itagaki for his analysis.

"What about the Northeast?" Tu Feiyuan's body did not move: "If we don't solve the Northeast problem, I'm afraid the emperor won't agree to our plan." ”

"Retreat to the front line of Fengtian, and retreat into Xian Country as a last resort!" Itagaki Seishiro smiled bitterly, but still said with confidence: "We use economic aggression to reap benefits from Northeast China and North China. ”

Through the ports of Dagu, Tanggu, Beidaihe, Qinhuangdao, Dalian, and Dandong, the island countries wantonly smuggled into various parts of China. In addition, through government subsidies and capital annexation, it viciously dumped cotton, flour and other bulk commodities into Chinese mainland, causing a large number of enterprises to go bankrupt and close down and a large number of people to lose their jobs.

The value of smuggled goods to China is as high as about one-third of the total value of China's domestic imports, and the resulting tariff losses are as huge as 25.5 million yuan. The huge war expenditures and the loss of customs duties made the finances of the Nationalist Government, which accounted for about 70 percent of the total government tax revenue at that time, even worse, and had to pass on difficulties to the people, forming a vicious circle in which its financial strength, national strength, dominance, and ability to resist the war gradually weakened.

As the black hand of the invaders penetrated deep into North China, the crisis in China became increasingly severe, and the shadow of economic collapse and national ruin loomed over the north and south of the Yellow River and up and down the Yangtze River. Itagaki Seishiro's economic aggression was to use the ports he occupied to trade with China to earn gold and silver.

Tu Feiyuan and Tojo Hideji smiled heartily, with the fat sheep of Huaxia providing them with the capital of the war, Southeast Asia is like taking something in their pockets. The three fascist soldiers left Seishiro Itagaki with great ambition and walked towards the inner courtyard of the Emperor's palace.

Seishiro Itagaki explained his reasons in front of the prime minister, foreign minister, and military officials, and the group of rulers were nervously pondering the pros and cons. With Taiwan as a springboard, who can be the opponent of the empire in these small countries of East Asia and South Asia?

The Emperor and the Prime Minister talked in low voices, both of them intrigued by Itagaki Seishiro's suggestion. The foreign minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this plan is feasible, and we must seize the three moves!"

1. Quickly send ambassadors to form an alliance with Germany and Italy.

Second, the army selects a group of elites to infiltrate various islands in advance. Wait for our offensive to begin and cooperate with the capture of important places and important cities.

3. Send people to communicate with the Rehe Autonomous Government, and we will cede the territory west of Shenyang. If you are pressing, you will not hesitate to fight!

We will not discard the Dalian wharf, but we will not carry out military provocation from here to threaten the Rehe army. Let them understand that this is our maximum limit, and we will promise not to start a full-scale war against Pingjin! ”

"Can he say yes?" This is where the emperor's hesitation lies, what if the occupied territory is ceded and the Rehe army continues to attack?

"We're going to give it a try, no matter what!" Minoru Saito agreed with the foreign minister's assertion: "At least we know their bottom line!" ”

"Okay, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will quickly send three parts of diplomats to Germany, Italy, and Rehe, and the navy, army, and air force will select key personnel and quickly go to East Asia and the South Seas to prepare!" The emperor finally spoke, he couldn't hesitate any longer, otherwise hundreds of thousands of people in the northeast would die because of him!

"Hayi!" People at the top of the island nation began to plan the operation.

After Hideki Tojo and the others left, he said to the emperor and the prime minister: "Permanent fortifications must be built on the Sino-Soviet border, and we must not be pinned down too many troops by Lao Maozi. Fortifications should also be built in the Shenyang area, and the artery from Dandong to Shenyang must be unblocked day and night. ”

The 51-year-old Hideki Tojo warned himself that he had to make his presence visible to the top brass of the Army and let the emperor know that the Army also had a "doer" named Hideki Tojo.

The Imperial Daoist Shaozhuang sent soldiers to carry out a military coup d'Γ©tat in Tokyo, and it was he who sent a telegram claiming to support the "military advice" in the country. The Emperor knew that he had handled this military admonition properly, and nodded approvingly and said, "I have proposed that you be promoted to lieutenant general, and your position as commander of the military police will be promoted, depending on whether you can handle the affairs of the northeast." ”

"Hayi! Your Majesty will always be loyal to you, and you will never be disappointed! Hideki Tojo is proud, and many years of "torment" are finally about to see the light of day!

"If you don't make a sound, it's just a hit, and it's amazing!" Hideki Tojo left the palace satisfied, and he wanted to go to the northeast quickly.

Hu Zhiyong is very busy in the United States. Since the expiration of the grain contract, less than one-twentieth of the crops are now shipped from Los Angeles. However, steel, aluminum, copper and other materials have increased their shipments.

In the Los Angeles Industrial Park, the processes of aircraft parts, tank parts and missiles are tightly grasped, and these things have to be shipped back to Phoenix to be assembled and tested. Boarding the merchant ship on the return trip, he thought excitedly: "If the little devil starts to invade China in an all-out way now, can he still be as rampant as he was in 1937?" ”

An airfield was built on Wolf Island in Phoenix, 5,000 meters long and 3,000 meters wide. Once again, valuable ebony was destroyed, taking up 1,500 hectares of land. He was distressed, but he was also helpless.

Luckily, the hangars were built underground, right from the edge of the island to the bottom floor of Phoenix. Little did he know that it would now be a repository of raw materials and a production site for his aircraft assembly plant.

When the Japanese army arrived at Rehe to negotiate, Hou Dashun hurriedly sent a telegram to inform Hu Zhiyong. He was surprised: "How can this be? Is it off the course of history? Is this a blessing or a curse for the Northeast and China? ”

He was thinking nervously, asking Hou Dashun to drag the devil not to reply in a hurry, and giving him time to think carefully.

"Young master, there is also a disagreement between the military and political affairs of Rehe, and they all think that this is a good thing for the present! But some commanders disagreed, believing that only by driving the little devils out of the northeast, otherwise they would never negotiate with the Japanese army! ”

Hou Dashun also had no judgment on this matter. Such a large territory west of Shenyang and east of Beiping is a huge temptation for them. But do they really abandon the large area of land in the east of Shenyang?

Hu Zhiyong was also racking his brains and thinking: "Once this news is known by the Nationalist Government, they will definitely agree!" The South, Shandong, and the Central Plains were all spared the flames of war, and the Nanjing Massacre would not happen again.

If you can throw away the Northeast, you will become a sinner in history!

What to do

What to do? ”

Hu Zhiyong's mind is messed up!

"Where are the little devils going to attack? Could it be that he was scared and really wanted to retract? He wants to exchange for a short period of peace in the Northeast and develop the minerals here? No, is he going to do it in Southeast Asia? ”

Hu Zhiyong thought of this, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body.

He had to admire the boldness of the people of the island who dared to confront Britain and the United States directly.

"Send a telegram to Liu Xingdou and ask him to find out for me if there is something happening in Southeast Asia!"

"Yes!"

"Report, Commander Liu Xingdou has a telegram!" The telegraph operator quickly came back and said to Hu Zhiyong: "The young master's telegram has not been sent yet, and Commander Liu's telegram has arrived. ”

"Got it." Hu Zhiyong took the telegram and looked at it, laughed and said: "The little devil is so ambitious, he dares to do it here in advance!" ”

He admits that it is more beneficial for the little devils to do it in Southeast Asia now than a few years later. At the very least, 100,000 troops will not be trapped in the land of China, and they will be able to avoid the embarrassing situation of fighting on all sides.

"Tell Hou Dashun that negotiations are okay, and our territory in the northeast must be handed back in full! If you don't agree, the Rehe Army will do everything in its power to wipe out all the Japanese troops in the northeast here! ”

"Yes!" The telegraph operator was thrilled to hear it, he was also a hot-blooded soldier, and he was a native of Shenyang.

"In addition, we sent a report to Commander Yinlong that we would borrow Shanghai to build an airfield, and build an airfield in Zhengzhou and Beiping. In order to support the anti-Japanese resistance, overseas Chinese in Nanyang donated 300 fighter jets to the Nationalist Government! ”

"Yes!"

Yinlong received the telegram and did not understand what was happening. He knew that the young master would definitely use these airports as a springboard to move combat planes to the northeast. This news made him excited, and he hurriedly sent a telegram to Song Ziwen.

"They are going to build an airfield? Want to donate 300 planes to the government? "The veteran was also happy. Three hundred planes, how much silver does this cost? Overseas Chinese in Nanyang are really generous!

"Yes." Song Ziwen said: "The Nanyang Task Force has to mobilize a large number of fighters into the northeast, and these three airfields are a springboard for their turnover. For the sake of these three airfields, he will train us three regiments of anti-aircraft artillery units, the personnel are ours, the equipment is theirs! ”

"Good!" The veteran was delighted: "Promise them!" ”

"There is one more condition." Song Ziwen hesitated for a moment, but still said it: "The people of Nanyang don't want to use these weapons to fight a civil war, if this happens, they will destroy all aircraft and facilities with artillery fire. ”

"Niang Xipi!" Lao Jiang couldn't help but scold, but he still promised: "The Sino-Japanese war is imminent, and I will not use this batch of weapons to fight a civil war!" But the pilotβ€”"

"They sent instructors, and there are his pilots on duty, and when our pilots can fight, all of them will be evacuated!" Song Ziwen sneered, these people know that you will agree!

"Tell the Nanyang Task Force that the construction personnel have us to come out, and ask him to send engineers to guide them as soon as possible!" The Nationalist Government also had more than 200 aircraft, all of which were imported from Germany. Now that 300 new planes have been added, Lao Jiang will not miss any opportunity.

Hou Dashun has been busy and hard enough these days. Of the 1,000 pilots trained in the past four years, 100 were left on duty, and the rest were quickly transported to the Zhuanghe wharf. In addition, the construction technicians also rushed to Zhengzhou and Shanghai, and they had to build a simple airport for planes to take off and land in 20 days.

The negotiations are ongoing, and Hou Dashun said to the negotiation team sent by the government of the island country in the conference room: "You can't occupy the Northeast, we will not hesitate to fight all the manpower and financial resources of Guangrehe, and we will completely recover our land!" ”

Speaking of this, Hou Dashun looked at the same cunning Tu Feiyuan: "I have a few private words that I want to interview you alone, do you want to adjourn the meeting and continue in the afternoon?" ”

"Yo Xi!" Tu Feiyuan promised that he must know the bottom line of these people, otherwise he would not be able to go back to the business.

In Hou Dashun's living room, he warmly entertained the agent leader: "Mr. Tu Feiyuan, how long do you think you can hold out in the Northeast?" ”

"Can you take it back in a short time?" Dohihara asked a sly rhetorical question.

"Yes, surely!" Hou Dashun said confidently: "Don't think that your fortifications are very strong, in front of our Rehe army, any strong fortress will be in ruins!"
