Chapter 146: Make a show!
To the surprise of many people, Hu Biao, who issued a series of combat orders, then left Zhenning Mansion in the name of inspecting the military factory. In fact, Hu Biao, who left Zhenning Mansion, returned to Xilong to accompany his wife and children.
During this time, Hu Biao would come back almost every once in a while. One is to cultivate a relationship with his son, and the other is to accompany Nina, an expectant mother who needs to be cared for. For Hu Biao's performance, Nina is undoubtedly extremely moved.
Even Lin Yashi sometimes gets jealous and says: "When I was pregnant, why didn't I see you so active?" ”
For such complaints, Hu Biao did not dare to refute anything. In fact, at that time, Lin Yashi was pregnant in Menia, and the two places were far apart, so it was impossible for Hu Biao to take a boat to visit every once in a while, right? If you don't do it right, then bear with it!
Seeing Hu Biao who came back again, Lin Yashi, who was at home, was also surprised: "Why did you come back?" ”
"Go home for a few days! It's too windy outside, so hide in the house for a few days! ”
"What's going on again?"
"If I hadn't misjudged, it would have been a big deal. But for us, it should also be a good thing. As long as we survive the next two years, we can really breathe a sigh of relief. ”
"Can you tell me about it?"
"Absolutely! The day before yesterday, I received a telegram from Shuo Rat, stationed in Fuso, informing me that the whereabouts of many Japanese aircraft carriers leaving Hong Kong were unknown. I suspect that these Japanese aircraft carrier fleets should be heading for Pearl Harbor in Menia. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yashi couldn't help but gasp and said: "The Japanese army is going to attack Pearl Harbor? ”
"Quite possibly! According to the information I have before, if the Japanese army wants to attack the South Seas, it must destroy the Pacific Fleet in Menia. Only by destroying Menia's naval power can they be free to attack the colonies of the South Seas. ”
used to be Hu Biao's confidential secretary, Lin Yashi still knows some military things. After listening to Hu Biao's analysis, Lin Yashi said again: "Then did you tell Brooke about this matter?" ”
"Nope! This is not a trivial matter, and if I tell Brooke, the Meniah military will inevitably be on guard. What if the Japanese army did not sneak attack at that time, but was just a routine exercise to go to sea? How should I explain this to him?
However, before I came back, I had already sent a telegram to the pillar, asking him to transfer our people over there, and even Shi Lao had said hello. I'll talk to Brooke again tomorrow and see what he thinks. It's hard to talk about this! ”
From some reports I have read on the Internet in later generations, some people say that the Meniah military actually knew that the Japanese army was preparing to attack Pearl Harbor for a long time, and even deliberately relaxed its vigilance, deliberately allowing the Japanese army to succeed in the sneak attack, and then took the opportunity to declare war and join the war.
At that time, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, although it severely damaged the Pacific Fleet. But the aircraft carriers of this fleet did not suffer a blow. After the war, the Menia Navy was quickly rebuilt and quickly sailed to the Pacific Ocean to formally engage the Fuso Navy.
Whether this suspicion is true or not, in fact, Hu Biao does not know. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Menia has been preparing for the battle in private. From the day the ban was issued, perhaps the Meniya military was ready to go to war with Fuso at any time.
It's just that for many of the people of Meenia and conservative legislators, they don't want to start a war. In the eyes of these people, Menia, as a neutral country, can fully rely on this war that has swept the world and earn a lot of wealth.
After resting at home for two days, Hu Biao still sent a telegram to Brooke, expressing his guesses and suspicions. Brooke, who received this telegram, was indeed shocked, but felt that the Fuso people should not be so bold.
After the telegram was sent back to the family, the family members also reported to the military. In this regard, some generals of the military also conveyed their gratitude, but said that they have been paying close attention to the movements of the Fuso army.
After receiving a call back from Brooke, Hu Biao couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Do your best, An Tianfang!" From a personal standpoint, I still hope that the little devil can give Uncle Sam a slap this time. The harder the two sides fight, the happier I am! ”
As Hu Biao expected, on the fifth night of his return to Xilong Manor, the commander of the guard battalion in charge of the guard knocked on his door. With a somewhat excited and worried face, he said: "Wolf head, the Japanese army has attacked Pearl Harbor!" ”
Looking at the time on his watch, Hu Biao knew that Pearl Harbor at this moment should be in the morning. This also means that the sneak attack war, which was hailed as a turning point in World War II, was finally staged as scheduled. And this time, what will happen?
Asked someone to call for cold water and strong tea, Hu Biao came directly to the temporary combat duty room next to the manor, and thought for a while: "Send a report to the green wolf, let him pay close attention to the losses of the Pacific Fleet, and report it immediately when the attack is over!" ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
"Send a copy of this news to Dai Li and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and Bai Chongxi will also copy a copy there!"
"Yes, wolfhead!"
"By the way, send a telegram to Brooke to let me know the news. In addition, this information will be immediately sent to the intelligence station in Nanyang, and the evacuation plan will be activated immediately. If nothing else, tomorrow the Japanese army will declare a full-scale war! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
The three radio stations set up at the temporary headquarters started work at the same time and began to transmit the telegrams drafted by Hu Biao. As a result, it was obvious that the people who received this encrypted urgent call that night were not sleepy, and everyone was shocked by the news.
When all parties called back and forth, asking about the corresponding battle situation, Hu Biao also asked people to reply that the current situation is still unclear, and it will take some time to know how much damage Menia's fleet has suffered.
While Hu Biao was quietly waiting for Tian Tiezhu's reply, Pearl Harbor, which was originally bustling and bustling like a resort, became like a sea of hellfire. Countless corpses and sunken ships filled the entire military port with an atmosphere of sadness and sadness.
The intelligence officer who had been staying on the periphery to watch the battle remotely was also stunned by the scene after the war, and couldn't help but say: "This fleet is completely finished!" I really didn't expect that the little devil was really bold! ”
"Find out the loss of the fleet immediately, the wolf head should still be waiting for our news!"
"Yes, Captain!"
In the early hours of the morning, when he finally received the secret message from Tian Tiezhu, Hu Biao said with surprise on his face: "That's not right! ”
"Wolf head, is there anything wrong with this telegram?"
"Nope! I just didn't expect that the navy of Menia would be so badly defeated! ”
Looking at the telegram sent by Tian Tiezhu, when an aircraft carrier in Meinia was completely sunk, an aircraft carrier was also heavily damaged, and the rest of the warships also suffered heavy losses, Hu Biao knew that history seemed to have undergone some changes.
At least in the previous life, Pearl Harbor was attacked, and there was no incident where the aircraft carrier was sunk. And this time, one of the two aircraft carriers of Menia was sunk and one was seriously injured, and it would take longer to recover, and of course, the feud with Fusang was also deeper.
After pondering for a while, Hu Biao immediately said: "Let the green wolf immediately contact Mr. Shi, and in the name of Aihua Trading Company and Umbrella Company, call on the Chinese in Meinia to raise a batch of relief materials and medicines, and send them to the Meinia military immediately."
At the same time, some reporters were found to complain about the atrocities of the Japanese army, emphasizing that the Chinese strongly supported Menia's declaration of war on Fuso. If possible, let Mr. Shi organize a group of doctors and ambulance personnel to rush to Pearl Harbor immediately for rescue. ”
"Wolf Head, is this necessary?"
"Yes! Don't forget, the Chinese and the Fuso look similar in appearance. Now that Pearl Harbor has been attacked, what do you think those whites and blacks will think of us? At this time, it is necessary to draw a line with the Fuso people! ”
"Got it!"
Racial discrimination has never stopped in the United States, and in order to avoid being affected by the pond fish, Hu Biao must let Tian Tiezhu take action through Hua'an Tang. It just so happens that Shi Antang, the leader of Hua'an Tang, knows President Menia, and making these statements will be recognized by more people.
In that case, if someone wants to take the opportunity to attack the Chinese people, they should also consider the attitude and reputation of the government. At least Hu Biao believes that if he doesn't say this kind of thing, Shi Antang and others may not be able to do it, and they feel that more is better than less.
But at this time, in order to ensure the safety of the majority of Chinese in Menia, it must be done. Only in this way can more people know that the Chinese, like the Menias, regard the Fusang people as mortal enemies.
After receiving the secret telegram from Hu Biao, Shi Antang, who had read the telegram, was extremely shocked and said: "If it weren't for Mr. Hu's reminder, I really forgot about it!" Quick, immediately convene the heads of the branches, send someone to procure medicines, and I will go to see Mr. President! ”
"Yes, dragon!"
The result was apparent, shortly after President Menia issued a telegram informing the people of the shameful attack on Pearl Harbor. The Chinese, represented by Hua'an Tang, began to donate a large number of relief materials and medicines to the National Assembly.
In the presence of many reporters, Shi Antang complained to the reporters about the atrocities of the Fuso people, and deliberately expanded the threat theory that the Fuso people tried to attack Menia. As a result, it became clear that such statements quickly aroused the bitter hatred of the Menias.
Correspondingly, President Menia, who was standing next to Shi Antang, was also happy to see this scene. Only if more people agree to declare war, then he will be embraced and supported by more people. For this, he also has to thank Shi Antang!
Fortunately, the Menias Parliament had agreed to provide more military aid loans to the Nationalist Government. Through this incident, the two countries also became allies in the trenches. Correspondingly, the people of Menia also remembered the good deeds of the Chinese.
And the unlucky ones are naturally those Fuso expatriates. For the angry people of Menia, they don't care when these Fuso people immigrated, they only know that these people are Fuso.
In contrast, the Chinese who sent rescue teams and doctors, and aided a large number of materials and donations, were recognized by many Menians. They felt that these Chinese had the same enemy as them at the moment.
Some Chinese people have felt that this seems to be too wasteful. After seeing those Fusang expatriates who were arrested and beaten, they really realized that these things that Hua'an Tang did in advance really allowed them to avoid a pond fish disaster!
