Chapter 280: The world is in chaos

On 10 January, the British Governor-General announced the post-war Dominion status of India. On February 10, the Japanese army began its attack on India. The British and French not only did not resist, but took the opportunity to evacuate all the expatriates and factories.

The islanders soon occupied more than 328 square kilometers of India, and began to capture laborers and mine various minerals. This sudden action made Britain and France scramble, and they hurriedly sent ambassadors to negotiate with Roosevelt.

Hu Zhiyong also welcomed their commercial envoys, who demanded large quantities of food and weapons in wartime. Of course, Hu Zhiyong was willing, and sent Xie Jinyuan and Hu Da to negotiate specific matters with them.

The Strait of Malacca has become the lifeline of five countries. All the navies and submarines began to sneak up on them here. Hu Zhiyong stopped the convoy transportation, and a large number of cargo planes participated in the sale of materials.

When Churchill ascended the throne as prime minister, he first delivered a speech of "blood, toil and sweat": "All I can give is blood, toil, sweat and tears." We still have to go through extremely severe tests, and we face a long and arduous struggle.

What is our policy? My answer is: Fight by sea, land, and air, and fight as best we can, with all the strength God has given us. Our enemy is a tyrannical and murderous tyrant unprecedented in the history of human crime, and we will fight to the death against the enemy, and that is our policy.

What is our purpose? I can answer in two words, and that is: victory. Win at all costs, and win at all risk of bloodshed and sacrifice. No matter how long and rough the road is, we must win it! Because you can't survive without victory.

I hope you will realize this: without victory, the British Empire will not survive, everything that the British Empire stands for will no longer exist, and the driving force that drives human history forward will no longer exist.

I accepted my assignment with hope, and I was sure that people would not allow our cause to fail. At this juncture, I think I have the right to ask for everyone's support, and I want to say: Let us unite and face the national crisis together! ”

Hu Zhiyong admits that Churchill's speech, the blood-boiling language, can really be inspiring and uplifting. From the mouth of the British ambassador, he learned that Britain used the Atlantic Strait to import strategic materials.

"There must be a mistake in one hundred secrets!" Hu Zhiyong almost fell. The Strait of Malacca is of little use to Britain, and his business plans are likely to be much smaller.

"I don't believe that Germany will not do anything to the Atlantic!" Hu Zhiyong was at the Far East Command, and Hou Dashun believed that the original plan was not wrong.

"Atlantic, Atlantic!" Hu Zhiyong smiled bitterly: "I'm not familiar with there, and I didn't pay attention to the intelligence over there. ”

"Young master, we occupy a large number of air force transport fleets, and we have no choice but to develop in Los Angeles towards the Atlantic. Besides, our Virginia business base happens to be near the Atlantic Ocean. About 6,000 kilometers from the United Kingdom to the United States, the transport aircraft DC-3 launched by Douglas Company has a speed of 290 kilometers per hour and a range of 2,400 kilometers. ”

The current strategic transport aircraft developed by Phoenix has a take-off weight of more than 150 tons and a range of 5,000-12,000 kilometers. Only their planes can easily cross the Atlantic, which is exactly what Hou Dashun judged to be in their favor.

"I'm afraid that the United States will negotiate with me again!" Hu Zhiyong stood up: "We must not back down in the face of interests, send a report to the second uncle, either order our planes, or we will independently undertake the supplies to support Britain and France!" ”

"Yes!"

In fact, Hu Zhiyong's consideration of the problem has become more complicated. Britain needed far more supplies in Phoenix than they did in the United States. He discussed with Roosevelt that the U.S. government would provide food and oil, and that weapons and other food and supplies would be supported by Phoenix.

At the end of March, Hu Zhiyong finally got a telegram from Roosevelt. After Hu Jiasanshao put his mind at ease, he began to concentrate shipbuilding technicians in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Hong Kong to rush out the unfinished warships and an aircraft carrier in advance.

The island nation occupied India, stopped and began to digest the use of materials in the occupied territories. Hu Zhiyong was very depressed, he did not expect the British and French troops to be so embarrassed. At this time, he remembered the disputed area on the Indian border, but he had no strength to take advantage of it!

"Forget it! I have occupied the islands of the South China Sea, the Far East, the Ryukyus, Phoenix and Palau, leaving only the disputed place in the north, and I believe that China will be able to recover it in the future! ”

After figuring it out, Hu Zhiyong's mood improved. He was inspecting the construction of the railway, and asked Hou Dashun and Liang Chengfu to hurry up, and the Soviet Union would soon demand the opening of the Trans-Siberian artery transportation line.

"Young master, the soldiers of the puppet army prisoner team are willing to be reorganized, and the remaining officers and Japanese military technical talents are pressed together, which is more conducive to production!" Nearly 100,000 traitors were captured, which was simply a group of laborers sent to the Far East for nothing. Hou Dashun mentioned this matter because he wanted to divide these people and reduce the defensive pressure on the detention troops.

"Yes!" Hu Zhiyong vigilantly warned them: "None of the officers can be trusted, and they must be reformed through labor for three years and sent back to the mainland from the mainland!" ”

"Yes! Those island people-" Hou Dashun hesitated, there were still tens of thousands of island people left in the Far East, most of them were women and some technical talents.

"Stay, so many of our soldiers need to start a family, and once the ratio of men and women is out of balance, it will also cause a lot of trouble!" Hu Zhiyong pondered: "None of the technicians of the island country can be put back, let them start a family here in three years, let them settle here." ”

"Report, the Blood Wolf Squad sent a telegram that all parts of the South China Sea are occupied, and the defending soldiers have the newly formed New First Army to serve as the defense of the islands!"

Hu Zhiyong smiled slightly, and said to the confidential section chief: "The Blood Wolf Troops will rest for a week, and their new mission will be issued soon!" ”

"Yes!"

"The temperature is rising, and agriculture must also be stepped up!" Hu Zhiyong looked at Liang Chengfu: "From April, we will reclaim wasteland, and strive to solve the problem of vegetable and grain supply by ourselves!" Negotiate with Rehe and Chahar to buy more cattle and sheep to develop animal husbandry here. ”

"I've arranged it!" Liang Chengfu sighed: "It's not easy to be the number one leader in this government!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Hu Zhiyong sneezed and laughed: "Actually, Hu Da, my third uncle, and my eldest brother can do it in this position, but we can't!" ”

Boderov walked over and said excitedly to Hu Zhiyong: "Europe declares no war, but Asia is fighting quite lively." ”

"Don't gloat first, when Europe fights, I'm afraid you'll cry!" Hu Zhiyong looked at the smug Soviet ambassador and said slyly: "Hurry up and prepare a batch of gold, and I'll pull you when it's critical!" ”

"Germany will attack the USSR?" Podlov shook his head in disbelief: "France and England are enough for him to be busy for a few years, and then our defense line will be impregnable!" ”

"How many years?" Hu Zhiyong raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha, you can have a year and a half, although you can get material aid from the United States, at most a billion dollars!" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Podlov believed that Hu Zhiyong was stirring up relations between the Soviet Union and Germany, and even more thought that he was alarmist.

"You will understand the future! Are you looking for something with me? Hu Zhiyong changed the subject and asked the angry diplomat.

"The commander wants to cooperate with you, let's get rich together!" Only then did Podlov remember the purpose of his coming and hurriedly said it.

"Use the Trans-Siberian Railway to send supplies to Europe!" Hu Zhiyong shook his head: "I will not cooperate with you, the railway transportation line of more than 8,000 kilometers is not as convenient as my plane." ”

"You're not afraid of their anti-aircraft weapons?" Podlov asked weirdly.

"Don't be afraid!" Hu Zhiyong sneered: "The German anti-aircraft turret has a maximum range of 12,800 meters, and our aircraft can fly to a height of 30,000 meters and reach a maximum speed of 3.5 times the speed of sound. You have developed a missile, and you can't reach it in front of my plane! ”

Podlov was taken aback and asked Hu Zhiyong: "Do you know missiles?" ”

"You got information from the Germans, but unfortunately their experiments were not successful!" Hu Zhiyong smirked, he got Braun, which caused the delay in the arrival of German missiles.

"When do you think the big war in Europe will take place?" Bodelov's mind was much looser, the German missile turned out to be unsuccessful, which was not the same as the information received by their intelligence services.

"It's not going to be two months late!" Hu Zhiyong said with certainty: "The German military should not be underestimated, and their attack will destroy the Maginot Line in one fell swoop!" ”

The Soviet Union wanted to make a fortune in the war, and Hu Zhiyong understood what Podlov meant. He sneered: "Listen to my advice, first prepare your own supplies!" You sold a weapon to someone else, and in the future you will pay double the price! ”

Hu Zhiyong was so sure that Boderov did not dare to be careless, and he left in a hurry, and a telegram was soon placed on Stalin's table. In the conference room in Moscow, Stalin asked Shaposhnikov, Chief of the General Staff of the Red Army, and Vasilevsky, Deputy Chief of the Red Army: "What do you think about this?" ”

Shaposhnikov was bold and careful in the formulation of the battle plan, neither pandering to authority nor conformism. It was because of his ingenuity and military genius in developing operational plans that he was hailed as the "brain of the Soviet Red Army."

Hearing Stalin's inquiry, he hurriedly expressed his thoughts: "It seems arrogant and incredible, but I think his judgment is basically credible!" ”

"Are we really going to get involved in a war?" Stalin wondered, how dare Germany go to war on two fronts?

"Once France is occupied by Germany, the German army will be able to free up forces to attack the north!" Vasilevsky took over and said: "Major issues such as the support of personnel, material and technical equipment required by the armies in all aspects, as well as the preparation of reserves for the front line, must be resolved as soon as possible. None of our fighters thought of joining the Germans to go to war, this is the most terrible! ”

"The world is in chaos!" Stalin sighed, he wanted to get rich with Hu Zhiyong, he did not expect to get such important information.
