Zhuo Fei's attitude is no secret among the top echelons of the umbrella, Angela and Vivien both agree with it, and Huffman and they have long been accustomed to acting according to Zhuo Fei's orders, only the Jewish rabbis who have just climbed the British and American do not know about it. "Can we trust these Jews?" Wallace, who was standing in front of the window, looked intently at the departing Jewish rabbis, and out of his usual caution, Wallace was not very optimistic about the olive branch extended by the Jews.

"So what other options can we have? If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of war between the Soviet Union and Germany, perhaps the empire itself would have been broken through by the Germans. Of all the Empire's overseas territories, perhaps only the Jewish Independence Army could come in handy, and we only gave them a verbal promise. I would rather have fought alongside the Jews than the sparse Indian soldiers, who at least taught the Japanese a hard lesson in South Asia. ”

Perhaps because of his long time with the Independence Army, Sir James admired the fighting power of the Independence Army, and when Cabinet Envoy Wallace asked about it, Sir James made no secret of his desire to integrate the Jewish Independence Army. Wallace was cautious by nature, and did not go along with Sir James's admiration, but pondered for a while before turning his head to Sir James and asking.

"Sir, I wonder why that Zhuo would return the command of the Independence Army to the Jews? According to what we know about the Umbrella Company, Zhuo, as the founder and supreme commander of the Independence Army, should not call for command at this time, and I fear that he has other purposes. Although Sir James got along well with Zhuo Fei, he was an Englishman after all, especially a British nobleman, and after hearing Wallace's words, he couldn't help but secretly ponder, but he didn't think about what Zhuo Fei was doing this for.

"The British have always been arrogant and shameless, especially looking down on Asians, and they naturally can't think of our real purpose, and even less that we just need the land of Western Australia." By this time the war had progressed, both the Axis and the anti-fascist coalition had shown their fangs. In this big war involving almost all countries in the world, Zhuo Fei didn't think that the umbrella company could stay out of it, but he didn't think about really devoting himself to this protracted war.

"From now on, the umbrella company has also retreated from the front to the background, and until the war is completely clear, we need to preserve our strength and be a speculator with peace of mind. Far from other continents, Australia is a good place to stay away from the war, and as long as we see the direction of the wind and the timing, we will have the opportunity to participate in the final division of the cake. At this time, Zhuo Fei was leisurely and contented, not surprised by the current situation at all, as long as the war with the Japanese army was suspended, the independent army would be safe.

Although Zhuo Fei did not participate in the talks between the Jews and the United States and Britain, the conditions negotiated between the Jews and the envoys of the United States and Britain did not escape Zhuo Fei's ears and eyes. Zhuo Fei didn't feel strange about the choice of the Jews at the moment, he was just amused by the shamelessness of the United States and Britain, "These Jews are really hungry, and the British only made a verbal promise to get the support of hundreds of thousands of Jewish soldiers, and this business is really cost-effective." ”

"Boss, are we really going to hand over all the troops?" For a long time, Huffman and the others did not understand Zhuo Fei's move to return the command of the Independence Army to the Jews, and seeing that the Independence Army was about to accept the command of the United States and Britain, Hefman, who was elected by everyone, had to question Zhuo Fei.

"Look, as I said a long time ago, our relationship with the Jews is not so strong. Although we have signed a five-year service contract with the Jews, you should know how angry the Jews are when they want to be restored. If we take Sumatra and West Malaysia, we will have a firm grip on the entire Strait of Malacca, as long as you look at the map of the world, you will know that as long as you go northeast through the Strait of Malacca, you can reach the Arabian Peninsula. ”

"In fact, from the moment we took control of the Strait of Malacca, the hearts of the Jews were already in turmoil, because they had seen the hope of returning to the Holy Land and recovering their country. Rather than commanding a group of Jews who are half-hearted all day long and only know how to return to the north, it is better to give them this hope directly, and at least we can still gain the friendship of the Jews, which is much better than if we were forced to return command at that time. Zhuo Fei uncharacteristically told Huffman a lot, hoping that the people around him could understand this truth.

Whether Hefman and the others could understand this truth, Zhuo Fei couldn't think about it, because he received a telegram from Chongqing, and Chiang Kai-shek suddenly invited him to go north to Chongqing for a secret meeting. The Chinese army has entered into a so-called ceasefire with the Japanese army on the surface, and the Japanese army is indeed retreating, but the speed of the Japanese army's retreat is as slow as an old cow, and at this rate, I am afraid that even if they are given another year, the Japanese army will not be able to withdraw from the occupied area.

The sudden attack of the Japanese army on the Soviet army in the Far East made the Chongqing government marvel at the arrogance of the Japanese and begin to think to itself at the same time. From the very beginning, the top level of the government headed by Chiang Kai-shek did not agree with the cease-fire and peace talks with the Japanese army, but under the great propaganda of the Wang puppet government in Nanjing, the cease-fire talks with Japan became the only way to redeem China. The Chongqing government had to make compromises in the face of a group of people and prominent scholars deliberately instigated by Nanjing's puppet government, but now they find that they seem to have made the wrong choice and decision.

China has never been a country where everyone can speak on an equal footing, and only a small group of people will represent the opinions of the majority, and among this small group of people, there will be a division between the main battle faction and the main peace faction. Not all the lords and factions are so-called traitors, and some of them are also for the sake of the people displaced by the war, but they underestimate the cunning and cruelty of the Japanese, so that the Japanese can manipulate the Chinese at will.

"Boss, are we going to Chongqing?" Huffman was observing Zhuo Fei's expression with an inquiring face, but he didn't see anything suspicious from Zhuo Fei's face. "If you want me to say, don't go to Chongqing, the decision to negotiate with the Japanese was made by themselves, and now they regret it, and we have no good way. Besides, the Independence Army is going to break away from us, and if they want to help them now, I'm afraid we don't have that strength. ”

Huffman's persuasion was not unreasonable, and Zhuo Fei was also thinking about this issue at the moment, before attacking Java Island, he had secretly commanded Vivian to send a telegram to Chongqing. If the Chongqing government could change its decision in time, Zhuo Fei would continue to form an alliance with the Chongqing government, but the Chongqing government ignored Vivien's telegram, and this is why Zhuo Fei wanted to return command to the Jews. But no one thought that the Chongqing government would react like this at this time, just like what Hefman just said, Zhuo Fei was already powerless at this time.

Zhuo Fei did not respond to the telegram sent by Chongqing, and Chongqing kept sending telegrams three times a day urging Zhuo Fei to go north, and on the fourth day, the Chongqing envoy who took the military plane south had already rushed to the base of the umbrella company in Western Australia. "Mr. Zhuo, I'm Yan Mingming, and this is a handwritten letter from the chairman of the committee." The Chongqing government sent a fresh face this time, but Zhuo Fei could see the suspicion from the other party's walking and standing posture, this was a soldier who had killed people on the battlefield.

Chiang Kai-shek's handwritten letter to Zhuo Fei is not long, but the content must not be short, and he also wrote three pieces of paper. After reading Chiang Kai-shek's handwritten letter to himself, Zhuo Fei looked up at Yan Mingming, "Mr. Yan, I remember that you have already ceased war with the Japanese, and besides, my army has been handed over to the British. I'm just willing to help you now, I'm afraid I don't have the strength anymore, so you can't ask me to go into battle directly with a gun. ”

"Mr. Zhuo, I only know that the chairman wants to see you, and as for the rest, it's not my business." Yan Mingliang didn't think Zhuo Fei's words were funny, before leaving Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek had summoned Yan Mingliang, who was serving as an attendant in the chairman's residence, Yan Mingliang only knew that Chiang Kai-shek was eager to see Zhuo Fei, as for the rest, it was not in his consideration at all.

Zhuo Fei didn't expect that the guy sent by Chongqing was a guy who didn't eat hard and soft, so he immediately found an excuse to leave Yan Mingliang in Western Australia first, while he himself was anxious for his staff to discuss the matter. Regarding the Chongqing government's desire to meet with Zhuo Fei, the staff did not approve of Zhuo Fei's northward journey, since the umbrella company was ready to go behind the scenes, Zhuo Fei, as the boss, must get rid of all relations with the Chongqing government, at least he could no longer drag the umbrella company into that big quagmire.

"Boss, it will take at least half a year for our recruit troops to enter the battle, and during this time, the umbrella company is extremely weak. Once the Japanese know that we are allied with the Chongqing government again, West Malaysia and Sumatra will once again be in flames, which is not in the interests of our umbrella. The staff are simply thinking about the self-interest of the umbrella company, so even Zhuo Fei, as the boss, can't ignore their advice.

"Then send a telegram to Chongqing and ask them to send plenipotentiaries to Western Australia, even if the Japanese know about it, they will not know whether the special envoy from Chongqing is here to see the special envoys of the United States and Britain or to meet us." After thinking about it, Zhuo Fei finally came up with an idea that could be considered the best of both worlds, and the staff knew that they could not completely sever Zhuo Fei's relationship with the Chongqing government, so they had to plan carefully around Zhuo Fei's idea.
