"Truce? Is it stupid for the Japanese to eat rice balls and eat their heads? Zhuo Fei, who was in command of operations in Thailand, was completely confused by a message sent from Chongqing, and after careful questioning and checking, Zhuo Fei believed the news from the villa on the south bank. What are the Japanese trying to do? Zhuo Fei, who was ordered to rush back to Chongqing to attend the joint meeting, pondered this issue all the way, and he did not think that the Japanese would be so kind as to take the initiative to propose an armistice.

"What the hell is going on? How could the Japanese have proposed an armistice? The plane had just stopped, and Zhuo Fei, who had been thinking all the way, was the first to get out of the airport, and Vivian, who came to the airport to greet Zhuo Fei, did not answer Zhuo Fei's question immediately, but just smiled bitterly and handed Zhuo Fei a document. After reading the documents handed over by Vivian, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but reach out and rub his chin, daring to feel that he still helped the Japanese to make up their minds, if it weren't for the excellent realization of the Independence Army in the Burma Campaign, maybe the Japanese army would have been preparing to mobilize heavy troops to conduct a large-scale battle with the New Army in North China.

"So the Japanese are preparing to temporarily stop fighting at home, and are preparing to turn their troops and attention to the American continent?" After looking through the intelligence summary documents that Vivian brought, Zhuo Fei pondered for a while, and then asked Vivian the question in his heart. Zhuo Fei has been commanding operations in Burma, and a lot of information collected in Chongqing has not been transmitted to Zhuo Fei in time, and at this moment, Zhuo Fei, a person who has been thinking ahead for decades, cannot make a correct judgment.

Vivian, who was asked by Zhuo Fei, nodded wordlessly, and then replied, "According to the information that the military commander and the Chinese Communist Party have already had, the Japanese do have this plan, and the Japanese Kwantung Army, which has been stationed in Manchuria and Northeast China, has already transferred four divisions back to the mainland to rest within three months, and according to the military commander's speculation, these four Kwantung Army divisions should be reserve troops prepared for the war in the Americas." The CCP's intelligence network lurking in the port of Tianjin also confirmed that since the beginning of the month, the number of arms shipped by the Japanese from China has dropped significantly. ”

Vivian's answer made Zhuo Fei close his eyes again and ponder, the information collected by the military commander and the CCP could not really reveal the intentions of the Japanese, but Zhuo Fei had already exclaimed in his heart that he agreed with Vivian's words just now, the Japanese army was indeed preparing to divert the war goal and attention. The convoy galloped along the street, and after more than half an hour, Zhuo Fei and his entourage arrived at the umbrella company's office in Chongqing.

It seems a bit inappropriate to say that this is an office, but strictly speaking, this should be regarded as a trading house. Millions of Jews gathered in Ruili, and the Umbrella Company relied not only on them to build an arsenal base and many factories related to military supplies, but also a number of migrant production factories, which were established in Chongqing to sell those civilian goods. The members of the staff group who had been staying in Chongqing with Vivien were already waiting for Zhuo Fei in a hurry, and in the following hours, Zhuo Fei and the members of the staff group had a heated discussion.

The members of Zhuo Fei's staff believed that the so-called cease-fire agreement of the Japanese army was nothing more than a delaying tactic, and once the Japanese army completed its strategic intention on the American continent, it would gather heavy troops and turn back to attack China. Zhuo Fei also very much agreed with the staff group's judgment, but he was opposed to the idea put forward by the staff group that the Americans would probably cooperate with the Japanese if they were forced to do so, and the United States had actually become a feud with Japan since the Japanese Combined Fleet attacked the Hawaii naval base, seized the waters off Midway, and carried out a landing operation on the west coast of the United States.

"Boss, there is no immutable alliance in this world, and naturally there is no so-called feud that cannot be resolved, and more often than not, only interests are considered between countries. If the Japanese army continued to increase its forces on the American continent, the pressure on the Americans would increase, with the cooperation of the Mexican army. If the Germans had carried out a landing operation against Britain at this time, I think that the Americans, who had already announced their entry into the war, would have thought of defusing the war with Japan first. ”

"If the Americans don't deal with the Japanese at home first, they will face a double attack from both the German and Japanese forces after the fall of Britain. Believe me, boss, the U.S. government is not as powerful and face-conscious as they boast, and for the sake of profit, they can do things that you and I can't imagine. I can assure you that if the Japanese attack continues at this intensity, the Americans will immediately propose talks with the Japanese, because they simply cannot afford the current level of casualties and losses. ”

Several staff members expressed their thoughts and judgments, and Zhuo Fei, who had been silent all the time, spoke, "The Japanese army proposed a ceasefire at this time, and promised to return the army to the range before the July Seven Incident, just for this point, there will be many high-level officials within the government who will choose to compromise with the Japanese army, after all, too many people have died in this war." We can't be sure whether the Japanese army's move is to concentrate on preparing for the Americas operation, but what is certain at present is that the Japanese will never really coexist with ****. ”

Zhuo Fei's ultimate plan is to attack the whole of South Asia in the name of clearing the Japanese army, once Japan and the Nationalist government reach a ceasefire agreement, the Independence Army will have no excuse to continue to attack South Asia, if so, then the previous foreshadowing and efforts of the umbrella company may come to naught. The Japanese wolf ambitions, public and private, Zhuo Fei did not want to see the Nationalist Government and the Japanese reach a ceasefire agreement, and the meeting with the staff group was held until dawn, but Zhuo Fei still did not have a definite countermeasure in his heart.

"No matter what, no matter what the Japanese think, the speed of the Independence Army's attack on Vietnam and Laos cannot be slowed down, if possible, I hope that the Independence Army can take advantage of the situation to Singapore before the Nationalist Government and the Japanese reach a ceasefire agreement." The importance of the Strait of Malacca has long been a key target for Umbrella Corporation, and once the Japanese occupy the Strait of Malacca, the Conservation Division's plans to get involved in the Middle East will be greatly reduced.

Zhuo Fei, who had not slept all night, was bloodshot, even so, he hurried to the South Bank villa after breakfast, Zhuo Fei's arrival did not make Chiang Kai-shek rush to the accident, and recalling Zhuo Fei was originally his intention and order. "You already know, the Japanese sent a special envoy to Chongqing to propose a ceasefire with us, and all Japanese troops retreated to the range before the July 7 Incident, and our troops were not allowed to attack the Japanese army at will." Chiang Kai-shek's smile obviously carried a hint of coldness, seeing this situation, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but feel overjoyed, Chiang Kai-shek obviously didn't want to negotiate peace with the Japanese.

Sure enough, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly changed his words, and his words were full of coldness, "I don't know what those people in the government think, the war has already reached this level, and they still delusionally think that they want to negotiate peace with the Japanese." Don't they know that the current situation has been filled in by countless soldiers with their lives, and now they seem to have taken advantage of the Japanese by negotiating peace, but once the Japanese have caught their breath, they will turn their guns against us again. ”

"Jiang Gong's words are reasonable, if we can't really defeat Japan, even if the two sides cease fire temporarily, we will still be invaded by Japan in the end. Once the time comes for Japan to invade our country with all its might, can we still pray for peaceful coexistence with the Japanese? I don't think it's possible. Chiang Kai-shek's words were heard by Zhou Enlai, who came in from outside, and while agreeing with Chiang Kai-shek's words, Zhou Enlai also implicitly said that the CCP would never collude with the Japanese.

More than ten minutes later, several people in the high-level government who were fighting the main battle all arrived, and in the face of them, Zhuo Fei, a small character, naturally could not speak rashly, but under the signal of Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuo Fei had to show his attitude head-on. "My opinion is that it is delayed, and as the chairman of the committee has just said, there are already many high-ranking officials in the government who have expressed their intention to cease fire with the Japanese. We can't ask everyone to be with us, especially in this situation, and we especially need to avoid internal confrontation and unnecessary consumption, so my opinion is to delay. ”

Standing up and taking the large world map brought by the attendant, Zhuo Fei stretched out his hand and pointed to the area that the Independence Army had fully controlled, and said, "At present, our Independence Army troops have completely controlled the entire northern region of Myanmar and Thailand, and before I return, two divisions of the Independence Army have entered Laos and are attacking Vietnam. I don't care what the Japanese have in mind, what I need now is time, and with enough time, the Independence Army can march into Vietnam after taking Laos and take control of the whole of Thailand. ”

"If the Independence Army completes its attack on Thailand before the so-called peace talks proceed, the Umbrella Company can carry out a further attack on Singapore, and once we take control of the Strait of Malacca, we can train our navy in the Bay of Bengal. Ships captured from the Japanese army and Thailand can be sent to the Bay of Bengal for training and recuperation, and no matter how small or weak this fleet is, it is a threat to Japan, and with a navy in our hands, we have the possibility and opportunity to attack the Japanese mainland. ”

At this moment, Vivian, who rarely took the initiative to enter the South Bank Villa, suddenly appeared and handed a folder to Zhuo Fei. After reading the latest information sent by Vivian, Zhuo Fei opened his mouth and laughed, "The Japanese have made a bloody investment this time, the Japanese cabinet has decided to send additional troops to the American battlefield, the size may be four to ten divisions, and at the same time, the Japanese army is also preparing to use the Philippines and the New Guinea Islands as a springboard to attack Australia." The advantage they give us is that the whole of South Asia, except for the Philippines and Indonesia, is owned by China. ”
