While Zhao Tiehu was busy inspecting the Xinghua Army garrisons in various parts of the South Seas, the struggle between the US and Japanese troops in the Pacific Ocean also became extremely intense. The Japanese army also made every effort to deal with the war machine that the U.S. military had begun to activate.

Because the top brass of the Japanese bowl knows very well that if they cannot stop the counteroffensive of the US army, then this so-called Great East Asian holy war set off by them will fall into a complete defeat. When the time comes, many of the people who planned this war will pay the price.

Even if there are already signs of anti-war and armistice in the country, it is still for the Japanese cabinet and the emperor, who control the country's voice and the command of the army. They didn't dare to retreat, and once they retreated, the whole bowl would be buried.

The Battle of Midway, which ended earlier, ended in a crushing defeat for the Japanese army. The defeat at Midway deprived the Japanese army of sea and air supremacy in the Pacific Ocean at the beginning of the war, and even lost the strategic initiative.

The strategic offensive plan developed earlier had to be halted, and the offensive on Fiji, Samoa and Novocaledonia had to be abandoned or postponed. However, many Japanese generals felt that they still had the strength to fight the American army.

In order to destroy the defensive front established by the American and British allied forces in Australia, the Japanese army once again gathered heavy troops in an attempt to implement a new round of blockade and attack on the allied forces led by the United States, and seize the positions on the former coastal islands of Australia in advance.

The Japanese did not seem to realize that the defeat at Midway had greatly weakened their naval and air forces. On the other hand, the US military, which won the final victory, greatly increased both in terms of strength and the morale of the troops participating in the battle.

In the face of a new round of attacks organized by the Japanese army again, the US military was also surprised. However, the US military, which has already activated its war machine, has gained more confidence in the contest with the Japanese navy and air force as a large number of main combat planes and ships have been replenished one after another.

In this case, in response to the Japanese seizing strategic points in the forward, they tried to blockade and attack the US forces in Australia again. Soon, a large number of troops were organized to join the ships and air forces to launch a new round of confrontation and attack with the Japanese army.

When Zhao Tiehu returned safely to Mindanao, he learned that Japan and the United States had been fighting for more than a month around Kuah Island. The navy, air force and army of both sides launched a bloody battle near Kuah Island.

Zhao Tiehu, who learned of this situation, looked at the map of the sea area around Nanyang, and said calmly: "The battle of Guah Island will definitely become a turning point in this war. Compared with the war resources of the American army, the Japanese army is far behind.

At present, the Japanese army has continuously invested ships and air force units in the battle of Kuah Island, including the second division sent there, and it is believed that after the battle is over, I am afraid that it will also suffer heavy losses. Even this kind of loss cannot be made up for in a short time.

On the other hand, once they win this battle, it will not be far from their time to regain the Philippines. This also means that there is not much time left for us to develop! ”

After saying this, Zhao Tiehu quickly said: "Send power to Toda Nosuke, and order the Salvation Association to increase the penetration and rebellion of the Japanese military industrial enterprises, and increase the export of controlled machinery and technology."

Order the wolf's den in various places, expand the control and defense areas of each base, and at the same time be ready for a big war at any time. Do everything you can to stock up on supplies, weapons and ammunition. All base areas should also resume agricultural production and planting as soon as possible.

A hidden defensive front was established around the perimeter of the city currently occupied by the Japanese army. In the event of the defeat of the Japanese army in the future, it is necessary to take over all the Japanese troops stationed in the South Seas before the Allies enter the South Seas.

Send reports to the Wolf Nose intelligence stations in various places, and ask them to increase their efforts to counter the Japanese army. No matter what method they use, I hope to maintain the current stability of the situation with the Japanese army and increase the purchase of war materials for the Japanese army.

There are also the Indian oil fields currently controlled by the Japanese army, so that the Salvation Association can instigate as many Japanese troops as possible to rebel against the Japanese troops stationed there. Once the U.S. forces launch a full-scale counteroffensive, our forces must take over there as soon as possible and take a physical possession of it. ”

Although it is still not a short time before the surrender of the Japanese army in history. But as far as the current situation is concerned, Zhao Tiehu still does not dare to guarantee that the Japanese army will surrender earlier than in history. After all, the war is moving faster than it has historically been.

Although the bloodletting of the Japanese and American armies, Zhao Tiehu felt that it was going very smoothly. But now, both the Japanese army and the American army are far superior to the Xinghua army. And in the future, the Xinghua Army will not be able to hide in the mountains forever.

In the final analysis, retreating into the mountains and persisting in the War of Resistance was also a last resort. If you can't have a stable and stable territory, it is really not easy for Xinghua Army to develop and grow!

In this process, Zhao Tiehu must prepare for the worst. Only in this way can Zhao Tiehu ensure that when the war comes, he will have sufficient strength and time to deal with it.

Even after sending several telegrams in a row, Zhao Tiehu instructed: "Send a telegram to Wolf and ask him to find a way to recruit workers and experts with military research and development backgrounds from China." Regardless of nationality, as long as they are willing to come to Nanyang, they will be given special preferential treatment.

At the same time, a telegram was sent to the wolf's den in China, asking them to find a way to snatch a batch of special ores mined by the Japanese army from the country. The best way is to snatch the goods that transport these ores and transport all these ores to the South Seas. ”

At present, in the mountains of Mindanao, Zhao Tiehu, who has established a steelmaking plant, has also set up a military research and development department. Even in an extremely secluded bay in Mindanao, the Xinghua Army's submarine R&D plant is developing new submarines.

As for the large ships, Zhao Tiehu knew that it was impossible to build them for the time being. But Zhao Tiehu hoped that when the Allies returned to the South Seas, the Xinghua Army would have a strong submarine force. The Air Force, on the other hand, is also developing new combat aircraft.

Some of the old aircraft seized earlier, Zhao Tiehu asked the aircraft research and development department to refit. The reason for this is that it hopes to make use of limited resources to build submarine units and air force units with the characteristics of the Xinghua Army.

Even if Zhao Tiehu knows that if he wants to do this, it is not something that can be done in a short time. But Zhao Tiehu felt that if the Japanese army announced its unconditional surrender, it would be delayed until two years later, just like history, and everything would come in time.

After all, in order to collect the corresponding R&D talents, Zhao Tiehu really spent a lot of energy. Even through White Russian mercenaries recruited in Shanghai, a group of Jewish experts who had fled from the territory of the USSR were received.

Just like the information sent to Wolf Nose before, as long as they are experts in weapons research and development, Zhao Tiehu plans to bring these experts to engage in military research and development, whether he invites them or grabs them.

Moreover, with the help of the influence of the Qingbang among the Chinese, a group of experts engaged in overseas scientific research have also been invited by Zhao Tiehu to various scientific research centers in Mindanao. It can be said that the arrival of such experts has also accelerated the speed of weapons research and development of the Xinghua Army.

Even the current nuclear weapons research that the United States is secret, Zhao Tiehu has also sent people to conduct corresponding research. As for the uranium ore for the study of nuclear weapons, Zhao Tiehu also secretly excavated a batch from China. If it's not enough, it's shipped from the country.

After all, for many people these days, they simply don't know what uranium mines can be used for. If a nuclear bomb can be developed, then Zhao Tiehu believes that in the future, both the United States and the Soviet Union will be more polite when dealing with the Xinghua Army.

The early start of nuclear weapons research is also to make a talent reserve for the future. Even if the corresponding experiments cannot be carried out in Nanyang, Zhao Tiehu believes that it is still not a big problem to find a place to conduct experiments in China.

Once the development is successful, then the corresponding technology can be transferred to China. If China had been founded in the future, it would have been able to develop such a killer weapon as nuclear weapons a few years earlier. It is believed that the speed of China's rise after the war will also be faster than in history.

Zhao Tiehu, who was busy dealing with military affairs as soon as he came back, returned to his home in the base camp. Looking at the daughter who rushed into his arms, he also looked very happy. This warm side may only be seen at home.

"Xinxin, are you good today?"

Zhao Xin, a daughter who is more than two years old, is undoubtedly Zhao Tiehu's heart. Even if his wife Zhao Wan is pregnant again, she will even give birth in a month or two. But Zhao Tiehu is still very excited about the arrival of his daughter.

After all, he has been a father for the first time in two lives, and Zhao Tiehu still cares about and cherishes his father's identity very much. Watching his daughter grow up day by day, Zhao Tiehu also hopes to give his daughter a peaceful growth environment.

Listening to Zhao Tiehu's inquiry, Zhao Xin, who was held in his arms, also said well-behaved: "Dad, I'm very well-behaved!" Just now, my mother said that my stomach was a little uncomfortable, and I talked to my brother in my belly! ”

Looking at his daughter with a very serious expression, Zhao Tiehu also said with some concern: "What? Sick stomach again? ”

"It's okay! It's just that the little villain is a little naughty and always likes to move around. It seems that he can't wait to figure it out! ”

Although the child has not yet been born, it is not known whether it will be a male or a female. But living on the island of Mindanao, several experienced old Chinese medicine doctors said that Chen Wanhuai's baby should be a boy.

But for Zhao Tiehu, in fact, a boy or a girl, he really doesn't care too much. It's just that as the leader of the Xinghua Army and the commander of the Wolf Warrior, many subordinates hope that he can have a son.

Even if it is no longer the time for the feudal dynasty to rule, in the eyes of many commanders of the Xinghua Army and the commander of the Wolf Warrior, these two troops are Zhao Tiehu's private army. The future successor can only be Zhao Tiehu's son.

If someone else rules these two forces, I'm afraid that sooner or later there will be problems. Even if Zhao Tiehu intends to cultivate Li Hao, Li Chengwu and Song Dabao, these three people cannot replace Zhao Tiehu's position in the army.

As for Zhao Tiehu's promise, he will not involve too much government affairs in the future. Many people know that without the support of Zhao Tiehu's army, which government can control the national order established at that time?

After all, Zhao Tiehu's definition of the Xinghua Army is the future defense force of the Nanyang Alliance. As the supreme commander of this Wehrmacht, the government of the Allied State also ignored his opinion?
