Chapter 652: Military Council (Part II)

"The Japanese are going to fight the Yankees?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Li Wei couldn't help but say: "Sir, now that the Japanese are fighting with us, how can they have the courage to provoke the Americans?" Isn't this looking for death? ”

"How do you know that the Japanese are looking for death?" Su Jin continued: "As long as the Americans can be defeated, then the entire Pacific, the Philippines and Southeast Asia will become the world of the Japanese. ”

"But the national strength of the United States is several times that of Japan, so aren't the Japanese afraid of provoking the United States and inviting death?" Huang Weiguo also raised questions on the side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Jin didn't answer, but looked at the people around him and asked: "Actually, what you said is all nonsense, in my opinion, the Japanese will eventually have a war against the United States, and the most important point is that the United States has imposed an oil embargo on Japan, which proves that the United States has begun to tighten the noose around the necks of the Japanese." Japan imports mainly oil from the United States, and steel mainly from Australia, and once there is no oil, the Japanese warships will become a pile of scrap metal, and without oil, the Japanese trucks and tanks will have to lie on their stomachs. Without oil, Japan's economy will collapse completely, and you can tell me if the Japanese will fight the Americans. ”

"Huh...... yes......"

Li Wei patted his thigh and said: "Sir, it's really bad to hear you say that the Japanese are going abroad, but haven't the Americans been selling these materials to Japan all the time, why are they suddenly turning against them now?" ”

Hearing this, Su Jin smiled: "Li Wei, it's not easy for you to think of this. In fact, in the final analysis, there is no friendship between countries, and there are only eternal interests between countries, and the reason why the United States was still selling steel and oil to Japan was because Japan was stronger than China, and they did not want to offend the Japanese for our sake. But now it is different, the Japanese have begun to mix with the Germans, since the Germans have been chosen, then Japan and the United States are enemies, so the Americans began to tighten the noose on the heads of the Japanese, and the Japanese had to fight with the Americans in order to struggle. ”

At this time, Zhou Huai'an, the commander of the 348th Brigade on the side, suddenly said: "Sir, why do I sound like the Americans are deliberately setting up a situation to force the Japanese to break with him?" ”

Su Jin sighed lightly and nodded: "You're right, this is really a deliberate game set up by the Americans, and the Japanese were forced to embark on this road step by step by them." ”

When he went east here, Su Jin also had to sigh. Judging from the many materials declassified by later generations, Japan during World War II was simply dominated by its own ambitions and the Americans, and slipped step by step into the abyss. Roosevelt grasped the lack of oil, steel and food, the three most basic living materials of the Japanese, and toyed with the Japanese between applause, it can be said that oil is Japan's Achilles heel, for the sake of oil, the Japanese finally had to obediently embark on a road of no return, and the United States was able to step on the bones of Germany and the Japanese to sit in the position of the boss. The Pearl Harbor incident was purely a good play written and directed by Roosevelt, through the Pearl Harbor incident, the isolationism that originally wandered over the United States finally disappeared without a trace, when the world's most industrially developed country started its war machine, the energy that could burst out was incomparable, objectively speaking, the quality of the German and Japanese armies at that time was stronger than that of the United States, but in the end they were all helplessly drowned by the shells and bullets of the Americans.

Putting away the cranky thoughts in his heart, Su Jin Zhengse said to everyone: "Okay, let's get down to business." The reason why I convened everyone to hold this military conference this time is to unify their thinking, Germany and the Soviets are now fighting fiercely, and Japan, which has cut off its oil pipelines, will definitely be dying, so I estimate that the Japanese will soon attack the resources of the South Seas, I would like to ask you, how will we deal with Japan in the event of a war with the United States and Britain? ”

As soon as Su Jin's words came out, everyone was silent, not because they didn't want to say it, but because the problem was too big, this kind of question related to the international situation and the fate of the country was not to mention them, that is, those politicians who specialize in studying the international situation may not be able to give a satisfactory answer, let alone them.

Su Jin glanced at everyone, he also knew that it was really difficult for these soldiers who were focused on fighting all day long to talk about the international situation, and the reason why he let everyone discuss these issues was because it was almost 42 years now, and it was very close to the Americans entering the war, and the issues that he had planned for several years would be implemented one after another, so it was necessary to unify his thinking in advance.

After being silent for a long time, Sun Liren said: "Chief Su, no matter how the international situation changes in the future, I think the first goal of our army is to face the country, after a year of soldiers, we now have five regular infantry divisions, one armored division, two artillery divisions, five garrison divisions and two air divisions, a total of nearly 300,000 army and a small fleet, such a force is enough for us to launch a large-scale offensive." If we don't handle domestic affairs well, how can we deal with foreign affairs? ”

Su Jin looked at Sun Liren with a look of relief in his eyes, nodded and said, "Fumin is reasonable, there will be a war between Japan and the United States in the next time, then our opportunity will come." Over the past year or so, many people have been complaining in private, saying that we are obviously powerful but blindly hiding clumsy, which is an irresponsible behavior. In fact, I don't want to drive the Japanese out of China immediately, and even march into Japan, but this can only be thought about in my heart, after all, without a strong navy, it is impossible to set foot on Japanese soil, but now our opportunity is about to come, as long as the United States and Japan start a war, even if the Japanese do not want to fight, we must take the initiative to attack him, we must solve our situation in the shortest possible time, inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army, at least to recover a few more coastal cities, we have to tell the Japanese, Our Third Army is here again! ”

"Boom la la ......"

Hearing that there was a burst of warm applause in the conference room here, the generals who had not fought for more than a year were about to suffocate, and now when they heard that there was a war, they all became excited.

Looking at the reflection of everyone in the conference room, Su Jin and Zhou Yusheng glanced at each other, and they were happy when they heard the battle, and the military heart was available.

After this meeting, Su Jin left everyone for a meal, and after encouraging everyone, he let everyone return to their original troops.

After everyone left, Su Jin left Fred's father and daughter alone, took them to his office and sat down.

After the two of them sat down, Su Jin personally made them a pot of tea, poured them full and motioned them to drink, and then said slowly: "Fred, Adele, you have been in China for more than two years, and you have played a very important role in the construction of the armored forces in these two years, and I want to express my gratitude to you here, thank you for your efforts and dedication to the cause of the Chinese War of Resistance!" Here I toast you with a glass of tea instead of wine. ”

Fred's father and daughter glanced at each other and then raised the teacup and drank it all, and after putting down the teacup, Adele Dai frowned slightly and said: "General Su, I'm afraid you left us alone not just to invite us to tea, if there is anything, you can say it, otherwise we will not be happy to drink this tea." ”

"Okay!" Su Jin touched his nose and was slightly embarrassed, this beautiful Yanma is still as upright as ever, and he doesn't give himself face as a commander at all, is it possible that the nerves of German women are made of steel bars?

Su Jin thought for a moment and then said, "Fred, Adele, I want to ask you a question, I hope you can answer me truthfully, is that okay?" ”

"Absolutely!" Fred was slightly surprised, and then said, "As long as it's not too private, I don't think there's anything you can't say." ”

"That's good!" Su Jin nodded, coughed lightly and said, "I know that you are all very good soldiers, and you love your country very much, even if you are deported, it will not change your love for your motherland in the slightest." But what if...... If one day we were to fight the German army, would you still be able to travel your duty? ”

"What? Fighting the German army? As soon as Su Jin's words fell, Adele first exclaimed: "Your Excellency, are you planning to fight the German army?" ”

Fred didn't speak, but the drastic change in his eyes and his face also showed the sharp uneasiness in his heart.

Su Jin, who took into account the reactions of their father and daughter, shook his head slightly: "I'm not sure if we will fight with the German army now, but we have to prepare as soon as possible, you must know that the United States may enter the war at any time, once the United States joins, the Chinese government will inevitably immediately declare war on Japan, Italy and Germany, I think that with the strength of the Third Army, we can completely recover several coastal provinces in China within one to two years, and then our strength will be exposed to the eyes of the world." When the time comes, whether we like it or not, we will join this great war that is related to the future and fate of China, and if we confront the German army, are you willing to charge against your former colleagues? ”

Adele glared at Su Jin angrily: "Your Excellency General, do you know that this is too cruel for us, can't we concentrate on fighting the Japanese at home?" Let the Europeans decide what is going on in Europe, so why should we get involved? ”

Su Jin was silent for a moment and shook his head lightly and said, "Adele, there are some things that will not be transferred by our will. Huaxia has been weak for too long, if Huaxia wants to share enough benefits after the war, then it must actively participate in this war, otherwise we will not be able to obtain enough war dividends after the war. ”

Participating in this war, this is Su Jin's intention and idea. In another time and space, Su Jin, as a military commentator, has been trying to figure out a question for a while, that is, why Huaxia participated in two world wars in succession, and both wars stood on the winning side, but after the war, Huaxia not only failed to enjoy the benefits that the victorious country should enjoy, but even its own interests were damaged.

For example, after the end of World War I, Huaxia as a victorious country not only did not reap the benefits but even the interests of the Jiaodong Peninsula were also damaged, the news came to the whole country shocked, countless students marched on the streets to protest, Huaxia sent hundreds of thousands of laborers to make great contributions to the war, but did not get the honor it deserved, even Qingdao was robbed by the Japanese, and many people in later generations of history and materials also shouted that Huaxia was treated unfairly, as if they had suffered a great grievance.

But this is not surprising in Su Jin's opinion, because in Su Jin's view, Huaxia, the victorious country, has made too little contribution to this world war. Some people may want to say, didn't Huaxia send more than 100,000 laborers, how can it be said that the contribution is too small? But if someone said this in front of Su Jin, Su Jin would definitely spit on his face, what is a laborer? Laborers are to help move things, dig trenches and sell physical strength, to put it bluntly, at best, they are only equivalent to the role of waving flags and shouting on the side when people fight, but they unrealistically want to enjoy the dividends of war after the war, are Westerners really stupid? In Su Jin's view, you can also share the dividends of the war if you want to, but you must really participate in it, to put it bluntly, it is to directly send troops to join this war, and fight a few victories that the whole world can see, as long as people will recognize that you can have the same status and contribution as them, otherwise you just want to send a few laborers or shout a few slogans to reap the benefits, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world.

It was precisely because he decided to join this unprecedented great war that Su Jin was worried that once he participated, he would be very likely to run into the German army, and then the identities of Fred and Adele would be more embarrassing, after all, not everyone could meet their former compatriots without changing their faces, so this was Su Jin's inquiry this time.

Adele asked in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency General, do you have to fight with Germany?" ”

"I can't guarantee this, but it's very likely." Su Jin Zhengse said: "Fred, Adele, I know that although you have been deported, you still have feelings for your motherland, so I will give you two choices now, either stay in Huaxia in the future to be responsible for the war against Japan, or follow me to fight abroad, you can choose for yourself." ”

Fred was silent for a long time, and then he sighed and said: "Your Excellency, General, although I am a person who has been expelled from the motherland, I can't raise the gun in my hand to my former comrades-in-arms, so I'd better stay in Huaxia and be in charge of the war against Japan." ”

"Well, I respect your choice!" Fred's choice did not surprise Su Jin, and the matter was decided. (To be continued.) )
