readx;?“ What's so good about this Japanese Imperial Palace, after a night's sleep, I don't feel as comfortable as the hot spring in Kumamoto. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Vivian, who flew to Tokyo from Chongqing, complained to Zhuo Fei, who just smiled and handed Vivian a morning. After leaving Europe for many years, Vivian has long been accustomed to Chinese food, and Zhuo Fei prepared a Chinese-style breakfast for Vivian at this time---- fritters, gruel and vegetables.

Staying in the Japanese Imperial Palace was something that Huffman and others had been looking forward to for a long time, and after Muto Zhang and others raised the white flag, they were directly sent to the prisoner of war camp in the east of Tokyo with Zhang Lingpu and his troops. And Zhuo Fei, under the escort of Huffman and Zhuo Yan, lived directly in this palace, and the generals of the expeditionary force had no objection to this. "Do you have any arrangements for today?" After signing several documents in a row, Zhuo Fei turned his head to look at Vivian, who was fighting with him.

Struggling to swallow the fritters in her mouth, Vivien replied, "Chongqing will soon send a cultural relics team, and I came to Tokyo in advance to prepare for the handover with them." Vivian's answer caused Zhuo Fei to be in a trance for a short time, and then he reacted and took back the Chinese cultural relics that had been stolen by the Japanese, as if he had made a suggestion to the Chongqing government.

"Let's put the handover matter aside, after the people from Chongqing come, I will arrange for them to go to Okinawa first." After Vivian finished drinking the gruel in the bowl, Zhuo Fei handed Vivian a document. "This plan of the Japanese has long been in our sight, all the Japanese who leave the Japanese mainland, we will only allow them to carry their belongings and a small amount of property, and those belongings that have been stripped out, I need you to take people to sort and screen them, and then transport all the valuable ones to Okinawa."

Vivian raised her eyebrows when she heard this, which was an answer to Zhuo Fei, and after opening the document and reading it cursoryly, Vivian was very interested in the last page of the document, and looked at it for a while without blinking. "Is that really going to work? I've heard that most of the Japanese are willing to leave, but there are still a lot of Japanese who stay, and we can't be too blatant to expel the Japanese here to the Americas. ”

"Don't get in the way, even if there are more than 10 million Japanese who are willing to stay in the end, they won't be able to make much of a storm. Don't forget, it's us who are in control of the Japanese mainland now, do you think the machete can be more powerful than a bullet? Zhuo Fei knew what Vivian was worried about, so he simply informed Vivian of the follow-up plan he had discussed with his staff, so as not to worry about this smart woman all day.

"Okinawa's geographical location has already made it important, and since it was once a Chinese vassal state, it is now appropriate to strip it from the Japanese map. I have been discussing Okinawa with Chongqing for a long time, but Chongqing has not accepted my suggestion, but we cannot sit idly by and watch the Americans take Okinawa into their pockets. Since it is difficult for Chongqing to make up its mind, it is better for us to occupy Okinawa, or at least the Americans are willing to hand Okinawa over to us. ”

"The Americans used Okinawa as a bargaining chip and asked us to travel to Chongqing and send troops to the Americas to participate in the war. This is obviously a decoy thrown by the Americans, but we have to swallow it, because if we want to maintain stability in the South China Sea, we must squeeze European and American forces out of Southeast Asia. Zhuo Fei stretched out his hand to draw a circle on the map, and Vivien could see clearly that Zhuo Fei's circle included the five countries of South Asia and the whole of Southeast Asia.

"But in that way, aren't we China's external defense? That doesn't seem fair to us. Vivien quickly saw that something was wrong, in her opinion, the umbrella had already paid too much for China, if it continued according to Zhuo Fei's ideas, the umbrella occupying Southeast Asia would become China's external defense circle, according to Zhuo Fei's personality and style of doing things, Vivian knew that her worries were not untargeted.

Zhuo Fei replied with a smile, "You're too worried, it's not a question of fairness or not, I won't put the umbrella in danger." China is a vast country and a large population, and once the war is over, China will catch up with developed countries like Europe and the United States. After all, the umbrella cannot be compared with a country, especially a big country like China, we do not want to become China's helpers, but to become China's partners, only collusion and win-win is the real drop of the umbrella's survival and development. ”

Vivien is a smart woman, and she and Angela already have a large number of loyal fans within the umbrella, Zhuo Fei knows that if he can't convince Vivien to agree to his follow-up plan, then when he has to serve Angela, he will encounter even greater difficulties. Vivien didn't answer immediately, but looked at the document again, and after a while, Vivien hesitated to reply.

"Well, you never seem to have made a wrong judgment or decision, since you should press Okinawa, then, let's take Okinawa. But I want to warn you first that the British already owe us a lot of money, and if the Americans also ask us to provide them with unlimited arms and supplies, I am afraid that before the end of the war, our umbrella may be dragged bankrupt by debts first. ”

Vivian's worry to Zhuo Fei sounded to him, but it meant something else, what Zhuo Fei was most afraid of now was that Britain and the United States would no longer continue to order arms and military supplies from the umbrella, and the more the other party ordered, the happier Zhuo Fei became. "Vivien, you can't ignore the place we occupy now, according to our plan, we should be able to get enough umbrella from Japan to sustain a decent profit for the next century." Zhuo Fei smiled and explained Vivian, not wanting to wait for the other party's white eyes.

"Of course I know what we can get from Japan, but please don't forget that these are our seizures, not the money that the British should pay us, and that there must be a distinction between the two." Vivien's answer was simple and crisp, but Zhuo Fei couldn't refute it, and Zhuo Fei had to change the topic to the large-scale recruitment of servant troops in Southeast Asia. Vivian only stayed in Tokyo for three days, and then rushed to Okinawa in a hurry, and before Zhuo Fei decided on a specific candidate, Vivian was the first governor of Okinawa appointed by Zhuo Fei Mussel.

Sending Vivian away, Zhuo Fei waited for Angela who came from Australia, and unlike Vivian's illness and dissatisfaction, Angela was very satisfied with the Japanese Imperial Palace. While Zhuo Fei accompanied Angela to linger in the Tokyo Imperial Palace all day, the expeditionary force was divided into three, one remained in Tokyo Bay, and the other two troops marched eastward until they occupied the entire island of Honshu. According to Zhuo Fei's line of thinking, Sendai Port was deliberately avoided by the eastward expeditionary force, and Muto Akira, who spent several days in a prisoner of war camp in the eastern part of the city, was secretly sent to the Philippines when a large number of Japanese civilians left by boat.

Persuading Yamashita to abandon the Philippines and lead his troops eastward into the American battlefield is the specific task that Zhuo Fei gave to Muto Zhang, if the task is completed, Zhuo Fei will agree to release the hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp outside Tokyo and leave the mainland. If Muto Zhang is gone, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners of war who are heavily guarded will become a cold number in Zhuo Fei's standings. Everything seemed to be going towards Zhuo Fei's expectations, until Zhuo Fei sent Angela to Okinawa, and the news that Zhuo Fei was looking forward to came one after another.

The first news Zhuo Fei received came from Chongqing, and after repeated deliberations and deductions from the Chongqing high-level officials, Sir James finally received a positive reply from the Chongqing government. After the third batch of servant troops drawn by the umbrella arrived in Sudan, Chongqing would give priority to dispatching more than 15 divisions with a total of 00,000 troops to India to change their clothes, and then rush to North Africa to help the British fight. As an umbrella for threading the needle, it was awarded a $120 million arms contract and authorization to establish a permanent coastal base in Sri Lanka.

The second piece of good news that Zhuo Fei received was that from Japan itself, the torture experts under the umbrella screened more than 100 people from a large number of captured Japanese officers, and then found out from the mouths of these captured Japanese military officers that the Japanese military used to hide gold and minerals in Southeast Asia. Zhuo Fei still only has an approximate number in his hand, but if the umbrella can find all these caches in Japan, the ore obtained from them alone will be enough for the umbrella to build a large military base.

Vivian's process of receiving Okinawa was also very smooth, MacArthur was not Vivian's opponent at all, MacArthur, who originally wanted to take the umbrella, only received a batch of arms compensation from Vivian, but the coalition officers knew that the caliber of ammunition produced by the umbrella was not at all the same as the caliber of the weapons they were distributed. As for Muto Zhang, who Zhuo Fei was most concerned about, he also sent back good news, and after careful consideration, Yamashita decided to accept Zhuo Fei's olive branch and agreed to leave the Philippines with his eastward marching corps to the American battlefield.

In the past few days, Zhuo Fei has received good news, not only is the expeditionary force going well, but also the war in the Philippines, which has been a headache for Zhuo Fei, will also come to an end. Zhuo Fei even pondered whether he would personally lead a force to the Mediterranean to help in the war once the problems of Okinawa and the Philippines were completely resolved, and by the way, establish another base in the Mediterranean Sea as an umbrella.

Just when Zhuo Fei was rejoicing at receiving good news continuously, there was bad news from Chongqing, and contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party finally broke out, and this was exactly the scene that Zhuo Fei last wanted to see. In order to decide whether to send troops to support the Soviet Union or the United States first, the top leaders in Chongqing have held several discussions in the past few days, and they thought that in return for their previous support for sending troops to help the British army, the Kuomintang should agree to send troops to help the Soviet Union this time, but what they did not expect was that the top leaders of the Kuomintang refused to send troops to the Soviet Union and chose to send troops to the United States.
