944 [Development]

If France gave away its head at the beginning, and the United States developed obscenely under the 10,000-year-old tower, then the Soviet Union has been in the jungle.

No, after the partition of Poland and the invasion of the Finnish border, the three Baltic countries were swallowed up by the Soviet Union. For Stalin, all this was a preparation for a future war, that is, to strengthen the depth of defense and expand the buffer zone with Germany.

And in the English Channel, after a tentative bombing by Germany, the "Eagle Day Plan" was finally officially implemented.

The radar stations along the coast of Britain were bombed wildly, but only the external antennas were blown up, and the radar control room was undamaged and was simply repaired and put back into service. When the Germans detected the radar signal again, they felt that it was useless to bomb the radar station, so they concentrated their firepower and continued to bomb the air base.

Just when the British air base was suffering heavy damage one after another, Churchill finally decided to use Zhou Hexuan's bad idea. Instead of trying to convince the National Defense Committee, he directly ordered the Air Force to bomb Berlin, claiming that it was a misguided bombing. Over the next week, the British Air Force bombed Berlin twice, angering Hitler and Goering.

The German bombing of the city of London began ahead of schedule, and Labour MPs immediately harshly criticized Churchill for using the citizens of London as bait. Don't blame the Labour Party for being too short-sighted, after all, they are in charge of internal affairs and now have a lot of messes on their hands.

Churchill did not admit to being killed, insisting that he had bombed a German military installation. Just like later hearing the news of the bombing of Coventry, his acting skills were so superb that everyone thought he really didn't know.

Let's turn our attention to China again, with the arrival of British and American envoys, Lao Chiang finally got over the addiction of "all nations come to court". Britain and the United States continued to make concessions, offering 3 million pounds and 50 million US dollars respectively to China for trade loans, but Britain still refused to open the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Because borrowing money can be under the guise of international trade, but the opening of the Yunnan-Burma Highway means war with Japan.

Hitler was very interesting, and he had the ambassadors to Japan and China frequently go out to speed up the Sino-Japanese negotiations.

This move was in the hands of the Japanese military department, and even if there was no good show sung by Zhou Hexuan, the war in the summer of 1940 was not fierce. Japan eased its offensive on the Nationalist front, turned to a sweep of North China, and constantly tempted the Nationalist Government to surrender.

It was under these circumstances that several bosses resolutely launched the "Battle of the Hundred Regiments" in order to resist the Japanese invasion of the battlefield behind enemy lines and to curb the surrender tendency of local troops of the national army.

Now that Germany has stood up to lead China to surrender, and Lao Chiang has released his willingness to surrender, the Japanese military department is naturally overjoyed, and even completely slowed down the offensive on all fronts.

Wang Zhaoming was so panicked that he went to Tokyo to see Konoe Wenma in person, saying that this was all Chang Kaishen's conspiracy. Chang Kaishen is not credible, Gao Zongwu is even more untrustworthy, and Japan must not fall for Chang Kaishen's tricks.

……

Chongqing, Yunxiu Tower.

Feng Yuxiang slapped the table: "You can't surrender, surrender is a sinner!" If your brother surrenders, I will pull my troops to fight guerrillas, and we will never be friends again! ”

Chang Kaishen smiled and reassured: "Brother Huanzhang, don't listen to rumors, how can I surrender?" ”

"Then what's going on with Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng? One had a secret talk with Japan, and the other went to Germany," Feng Yuxiang said angrily, "These two damn traitors, I still think they can wake up halfway to be a man, and I can't imagine that dogs can't change their shit!" ”

Chang Kaishen said: "It's really a rumor, it's all a conspiracy of the Japanese." ”

Feng Yuxiang still didn't believe it, and learned "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to persuade: "Brother, you are the leader of China. Wang Zhaoming can surrender, Li Zongren can surrender, Yan Xishan can surrender, Long Yun can surrender, and even I can surrender, but only you can't surrender. You are a national hero in the War of Resistance, and you are a sinner through the ages when you surrender. If we surrender, we can be safe, and we can also get benefits, you will definitely step down with your name, and Wang Zhaoming will be the leader of the surrendered government at that time! ”

Chang Kaishen smiled helplessly: "What should I do to believe it?" ”

Feng Yuxiang said: "Immediately recall Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng." ”

"They have an important mission and cannot be recalled." Chang Kaishen said.

Feng Yuxiang suddenly jumped up, pointed at Chang Kaishen and said, "Look at it, look at it, these two traitors were really sent out by you!" If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave! ”

Chang Kaishen knew that Feng Yuxiang was a big mouth, and he didn't want to reveal the news, so he immediately said with a straight face: "I still have important things to deal with, Brother Huanzhang, please take care of it." ”

"Something important? What's the matter? Is it important to surrender? Feng Yuxiang asked questions one after another, and said menacingly, "Believe it or not, I will go to Yan'an to join the Communist Party immediately, and my Northwest Army will also follow the collective surrender to the Communist Party!" ”

Chang Kaishen's head was suddenly extremely big, Feng Yuxiang still had influence on several Northwest Army troops, and he himself was also very famous, so he absolutely could not let them join the Communist Party. Not only that, but even leftists and liberal scholars, Chang Kaishen is mainly in general, and he also specially serves as the third department of the Political Department of the Military Commission to accept them.

Most of the members of the Third Department of the Political Department of the Military Commission are secretly under the leadership of the Communist Party, and the rest are also inclined to the Communist Party. Lao Jiang wanted to abolish the third hall some time ago, but he was afraid that these people would go to Yan'an, so he planned to set up a new department to stabilize it.

Even famous scholars and literati, Chang Kaishen didn't want to let them go to Yan'an, let alone Feng Yuxiang, who had influence on the Northwest Army?

Chang Kaishen thought for a while and said, "Brother Huanzhang, I can give you an explanation, but you have to promise to keep your mouth shut." ”

"Say it quickly, if I leak the news, then I'm a turtle son!" Feng Yuxiang has lived in Beibei for a long time, and the Sichuan dialect comes as soon as he opens his mouth.

Chang Kaishen said in a low voice: "This is a bitter plan planned by Zhou Mingcheng, fake surrender, the purpose is to force the British to reopen the Yunnan-Burma Highway." ”

Feng Yuxiang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Military affairs, this is too child's play." ”

Chang Kaishen smiled: "It seems that the effect is very good at present, even better than expected." Britain and France have both promised to borrow money from China, and I even want to extort a sum from Germany. To tell you the truth, I have recently had a new understanding of the phrase 'take a step back and open the sky'. ”

"I'm afraid that the Germans' bamboo pole is not easy to knock, and it is impossible for them to give practical benefits until China really surrenders." Feng Yuxiang shook his head and said.

Chang Kaishen said: "No matter what, you can try it." The British were so panicked that they even promised to abolish the previous unequal treaties and abolish extraterritoriality and concessions in China. ”

"Hong Kong is also willing to give it back to China?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

Chang Kaishen shook his head and said, "Even if they are willing to return Hong Kong, I can't ask for it." ”

Feng Yuxiang said: "You must not ask for it, it is a nail, and you can't pull it out." By the way, when will the Yunnan-Burma Highway reopen? ”

Chang Kaishen said depressedly: "The British are too timid, and they would rather return the concession than reopen the Yunnan-Burma Highway." ”

Feng Yuxiang said: "If Britain is willing to reopen the Yunnan-Burma highway, this bitter plan should not be sung anymore." ”

"I understand, I understand." Chang Kaishen certainly understands that domestic public opinion during this period of time is extremely unfavorable to him.

Feng Yuxiang said with emotion: "Brother Zhou's sword move is really powerful, and he is still a cultural person's brain, and when he returns to China, I will invite him to drink." ”
