Chapter Seventy-Four: North Korea
"You want to be beautiful, and I want to get more bombers, but the British and American aircraft factories in Australia produce too little. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Just these 100 bombers or I exchanged them for the temporary fleet commanded by McHausen, and if there are more, you don't have to think about it, and I can't help it. Zhuo Fei expressed contempt for Merkel's insatiable greed, but the good news of the upcoming bomber group still made Zhuo Fei's heart a lot of gloom.
Refusing to continue to maintain contact with Chongqing, Zhuo Fei immediately ordered that troops should not be mobilized to the Korean Peninsula by land, and the servant troops stationed in Shanghai immediately withdrew to Hangzhou Bay and waited for the sea route north to Incheon. Without a fleet, the umbrella hires merchant ships as troop carriers, and as long as there is enough profit, the merchant ships stranded in Shanghai Port will not care about what is being transported on board. The umbrella transferred all the troops in the country, and this sudden change seemed to be a bait that was unexpected by the Chongqing side, and even Konoe Wenma was at a loss for a while.
When Zhuo Fei was in Chongqing, he did not attend the talks with Japan, and Konoe Wenma asked to meet Zhuo Fei many times, but was also politely rejected by Chongqing. "Why else, of course, I don't want to sabotage your great cause of peace talks. The Japanese are obviously prepared to take an umbrella to talk about things, and we don't want to leave the Japanese with a handle and an opportunity, so it is better for us to react in advance than to make it difficult for you to do it at that time. ”
Vivian's words on behalf of the umbrella made the Chongqing high-level officials speechless, from the beginning of the umbrella's appearance in China, it seems that it has not taken advantage of the country, whether it is the war against Japan or the provision of materials, the umbrella is doing its best, not to mention that the umbrella also handed over the Ruili Ordnance Base to the government free of charge. It's true that I'm a little ashamed of people, and not all of the high-level people in Chongqing are people who can't look down on the umbrella, thinking about Vivian's words carefully, at least more than half of the people in the high-level feel a little sorry for the umbrella and Zhuo Fei.
However, it is too late to regret it now, because the Japanese have known to the whole world about the peace talks, and when they learn that the Japanese will take the initiative to withdraw from Chinese territory, the people who heard about this are overjoyed, but no one cares about the gains or losses of the protective umbrella. "Okay, don't pay attention to those things that have nothing to do with us, the Japanese are not an honest nation, peace talks, hehe, maybe there will be a recurrence soon." Zhuo Fei has always had no expectations for this Sino-Japanese peace talks, and he has always believed that only by truly defeating the Japanese army can the Japanese see the situation clearly and bow to China.
"If the war is to be decided by political means, then what is the use of the army, politics can only be used as an auxiliary means, not as the main body of the war, otherwise the goal of the war cannot be truly achieved." Zhuo Fei's words sounded a little messy, not only Hefman couldn't understand them, but even Vivian was confused. "The Japanese have always been arrogant, since the Ming Dynasty has been plundering the southeast coast of China, when they have the advantage, the Japanese will trumpet their bravery, once they encounter difficulties, the Japanese will take the initiative to surrender and seek survival."
"China and Japan have been on the same page for centuries, and Japan has been using this method to plunder large sums of wealth from China for domestic reconstruction and construction. In the eyes of the Japanese, showing political weakness is not a shameful thing, so as long as they do not defeat the Japanese army in a dignified manner, the Japanese will still think that they have a chance to plot against China again. As long as this idea still has a market in Japan, China will face a threat from Japan, and if it wants to solve this threat once and for all, it must really defeat the Japanese army, but Chongqing does not see this now. ”
Zhuo Fei explained this, and Vivian and the others finally understood, but the Chongqing side has now been confused by the withdrawal plan proposed by the Japanese, and they can't see the deep hidden hostility of the Japanese at all. The shrinking of the Umbrella and the hiring of a large number of ships to transport the domestic army to the Korean Peninsula naturally caught the attention of Konoe Fumima, who tried to turn to Chongqing for help before he could think of anything else.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the actions made by the umbrella can only be said to be their decision, we and the umbrella are not subordinate, from the moment we tore up the employment agreement, there is actually no relationship and contact between us and the umbrella, so the conditions put forward by the Prime Minister, we cannot implement them." In the face of the reason for joining forces to sanction the umbrella proposed by Konoe Fumima on behalf of Japan, the Chongqing high-level directly responded positively, and even politely rejected the proposal to join forces with the Japanese army against the umbrella.
In order to ensure peace in the country, Chongqing's top leaders used the umbrella as a bargaining chip and a victim of talks, but this does not mean that Chongqing really wants to tear its face with the umbrella. Regarding Konoe Fumima's proposal to join forces with the Japanese army to sanction the protective umbrella, the high-level officials directly rejected it without discussion, what kind of joke is it that the high-level leaders are still ready to use the protective umbrella as a bargaining chip that may not necessarily allow the Japanese army to withdraw as soon as possible.
The umbrella sent troops north to the Korean Peninsula on a large scale, and the most uncomfortable about this was naturally the Japanese, and the high-level people in Chongqing were naturally happy to pretend to be passers-by to watch the excitement. Seeing that his proposal was rejected by the Chongqing high-level officials, Konoe Fumima ordered the Korean Japanese army to pay attention to the movement of the umbrella on the Korean Peninsula, but he did not know that Zhuo Fei had returned the Korean Independence Army that had been ordered to assemble to the front line of Seoul to the Korean young officer corps commanded by Kim Jiu.
"Mr. Kim Koo, the Korean Independence Army currently has 60,000 troops, more than half of whom are veterans of frontal battles with the Japanese army, and the weapons and equipment we have captured in the Korean Peninsula and Northeast China have been transferred to them. Within three months from now, I will gradually withdraw the officers of our umbrella, and this army will be your own from now on. Zhuo Fei's words brought tears to the eyes of Jin Jiulao, after so many years, the Korean Restoration Party finally has its own armed forces.
Jin Jiu and the others, who couldn't stop whimpering, couldn't even say a complete sentence, but they still expressed their gratitude to Zhuo Fei one by one, and were willing to return an army of more than 60,000 people to the Koreans, and Jin Jiu and the others were no longer entangled in the matter of selling Jeju Island to Zhuo Fei. More than a third of the members of the South Korean Young Officer Corps trained by the Umbrella have been systematically trained, and more than a third of them have experienced first-hand the ground battles of the U.S.-Australian coalition against the Japanese in Indonesia, and Kim believes that if they are given enough time, these young officers will become the backbone of the Korean Independence Army.
Returning the command of the Korean Independence Army to the South Korean Restoration Party, Zhuo Yan, who had been living on the Korean Peninsula for more than half a year, finally returned to Zhuo Fei's side, not only Zhuo Yan was excited, but even the hundreds of South Korean special operations soldiers who were carefully selected by him. These hundreds of special operations soldiers carefully selected from tens of thousands of soldiers of the Independent Army have already been evaluated and investigated by Zhuo Yan and others, and after returning to Incheon, these selected South Korean special operations soldiers will be sent to Sumatra Island for special operations training, and then the selected leaders will be transferred to the special forces under the umbrella.
I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Zhuo Yan is still the same old person who doesn't like to talk before, but he keeps up with Zhuo Fei closely, except for sleeping and going to the toilet, Zhuo Yan almost follows Zhuo Fei around. Zhuo Fei was also happy to have Zhuo Yan follow him, because Zhuo Yan had already expressed that he was not interested in leading the troops to fight, and just wanted to follow Zhuo Fei's side. After seeking Huffman's opinion, Zhuo Fei immediately transferred Huffman to command the upcoming special forces as the commander, but Zhuo Yan took over Huffman's position as Zhuo Fei's defense captain.
Konoe Wenma didn't know what he wanted to do when he transferred troops north to the Korean Peninsula, and Zhuo Fei actually didn't have a clue in his heart, leaving Jiaodong, Zhuo Fei just wanted to avoid the possible embarrassment, but now, Zhuo Fei was a little confused that he had nowhere to reach out. The Japanese forces that were forced to assemble at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula intensified their surveillance and raids on Jeju Island, and the Japanese mainland air force also bombed Jeju Island continuously, so that Zhuo Fei was unable to deploy a flight force to Jeju Island at present.
In the area south of Seoul, the Korean Japanese army has gathered a large number of troops, and Zhuo Fei has obtained new information through the military command, and while Japan is preparing to transfer troops to the American continent on a large scale, it has also prepared to mobilize the Japanese army in the northeast to march to the Korean Peninsula under the pretext of withdrawing the army. Zhuo Fei knew that once the Chinese New Army troops stationed in the northeast gave way to the passage with the northeast and the northern tip of the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese troops stationed in the northeast would frantically move south, and at that time, the troops under the umbrella on the Korean Peninsula would be attacked from front to back.
After consulting with his staff, Zhuo Fei decided to launch an attack on the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, as long as the new Chinese army in the northeast could hold the border area within two or three months, and the umbrella and the Korean Independence Army could push the Seoul defense line south to the Daejeon line. "Let's do it, don't care about the Japanese army in the northeast behind us, the talks between Chongqing and the Japanese are still going on, although it is the final closing stage, but there is no clear statement and agreement, Chongqing will not let go of its mouth in the end, so we should have plenty of time."
Zhuo Fei's decision was notified, and Jin Jiu and the others were overjoyed to learn that the Umbrella had decided to launch an attack on the Japanese army at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula. After receiving the order to cooperate with the operation, the Korean Independence Army, which had only been running in for a short time, immediately entered the state, and Kim Gu and others even recruited more than 2 million North Korean civilians to serve as logistical support forces for this offensive in the name of the South Korean Restoration Party.
