Chapter 056: Secret Leak
In August, the Japanese received orders to secretly transfer most of the troops in the Songhu area to the Pacific region, and the Japanese troops in the Malay Peninsula gradually withdrew southward, but did not leave in full order to avoid being discovered by the British and the Americans, although they secretly transported two divisions of Japanese troops from Singapore to India.
And the overseas Chinese in Indonesia and the Philippines have also withdrawn to Qin or Longyun under the supervision of the personnel sent by the Qin State, since the Japanese came, they have long been eager to leave, and now there are countries that will want to stay, although the industry is gone, but the fate will be everything, not to mention that the government promised to give them a piece of territory.
And what Qin Guo promised was to give them in Longyun's area, and Gu observed that there were not many natives in Taidong and west of the Lancang River, and there were dead corpses everywhere, all of them were purulent and bloody, and they were very disgusting. But it's not time for immigrants to pass now, and don't let immigrants become contagious when the time comes.
The Kwantung Army in the Northeast was also secretly transported to the Pacific Islands, as were the Japanese troops in North China.
Japan left in a big way, although there were rumors, but Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union thought that the Japanese army would transport part of its forces to the Pacific region after withdrawing from the hinterland of China, but on August 28, the Japanese army fully withdrew from Nanjing, Shanghai and other Changsanjiang areas, and at the same time, the Japanese army in North China also fully withdrew, some went to the northeast, and some left directly, and the coalition force composed of 200,000 expeditionary forces and 200,000 Qin troops was stationed in North China.
The news can no longer be hidden, seeing that China and Japan are so tacit, everyone guessed that there must be some agreement between the two countries, Stilwell came to ask why, Wang Hanzhang sneered: "You have all stopped material aid, we have no supplies, and we are still fighting a ghost!" Now that the resources of others are leaving, it is too late for us to be happy, if we attack them, when the time comes, they will not leave, and we will have no place to cry. ”
Stilwell was speechless, now he didn't know what to say, it seemed that there was nothing to say, the United States did stop the supply of supplies more than ten days ago, but from Wang Hanzhang's words, it can be determined that there is indeed some kind of agreement between China and Japan. And Wang Hanzhang is not shying away from this now, anyway, North China is in hand, and people have guessed it, not to mention that the materials have stopped, there is nothing to be afraid of, let alone worry.
On August 5th, an army of 200,000 people went to the northeast, and the Japanese army withdrew to Korea, but it should be that there are many Japanese immigrants in the northeast, and both countries have sent people to supervise to ensure the safety of these people.
The squadron headed for the Northeast, the world was shocked, completely shocked, the Japanese actually wanted to fully withdraw from China, then the efforts of several generations of Japanese people came to naught, they couldn't figure out why the Japanese, who had always regarded the land as their fate, suddenly made such a shocking decision, they would rather believe that the Germans had fully withdrawn their troops from Soviet Russia than that the Japanese had withdrawn from China.
Then the Malay Peninsula was taken over by the Qin army, and the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean, everything was so shocking that the Americans, the British, and the Soviet Russians panicked.
The leaders of Britain and the United States frowned, Japan withdrew from China, and even withdrew from the Southeast Peninsula, and even the important transportation chokepoints such as the Malay Peninsula and Singapore were not wanted, and gave them to the Qin people, and it is conceivable that the 2 million Japanese troops on the Asian continent will be transferred to the Pacific Ocean, and then Britain and the United States will directly face these Japanese soldiers. The Americans had a lot of headaches, so they had to face the Japanese alone, although the Americans did not think that the Japanese were their opponents, but if the Japanese fought against the United States, then a large number of American troops and supplies would be pinned down to the Pacific Ocean.
And the British also have a headache, now the Japanese suddenly have two million more fresh troops, China and Japan must have reached some kind of agreement, at least China will not be the enemy of the Japanese for the time being, then Japan will send more troops to attack India, the main force of Britain not only to maintain the colonies in Africa, but also more in the homeland guard, now India has turned to the counteroffensive, as long as the Chinese continue to contain, they can kill the Japanese within the year, when the time comes, in the hearts of the Indians, it should be about the same, But now I'm afraid it's not that simple.
In the White House, Roosevelt's old mistake has been repeated. In 1920, Roosevelt was a little tired after a long campaign for elections. He went on vacation to a small island off the coast of Maine called Cap Bairu, where Roosevelt and his family had a summer house. One day, Roosevelt took his wife and children on a boat trip. Forest fire near the beach. His family went to help put out the fire. The fire was much worse than initially estimated and took several hours to extinguish the fire. Later they went swimming. Roosevelt and his son then walked home, partly running, about a mile and a half. When they got home, Roosevelt was interested in another swim. The water in the Blessed Bay of Kaipu Bailu Island was cold for many years, and Roosevelt once sat in a wet bathrobe for half an hour to read the newly received email. He was badly cold. At this time he was sleepy and weak, and his son helped him upstairs. The next day, Roosevelt had a high fever. Feeling discomfort, heaviness and pain in the left leg, a local doctor was called, and when Roosevelt's condition worsened, others were called in. Two weeks later, Roosevelt was diagnosed with polio, commonly known as polio.
The rainy day and the sudden blow made Roosevelt fall ill all of a sudden, of course, he was originally in a wheelchair, so he did not fall to the ground, but fortunately there was no major problem. Churchill was, Roosevelt made himself stronger, otherwise he would be next, everything is changeable in the face of this kind of world war, and it is the same today.
Marshall, an old comrade-in-arms, came to see him for the first time, "Mr. President, are you okay?" ”
Roosevelt said, "The doctor said there was no problem, but the situation in the United States is even worse." ”
Marshall knew what Roosevelt meant, Marshall comforted: "It's nothing, if the Japanese attacked us with all their might at the beginning of the launch, then we might still be more worried, but today the Japanese navy has lost two-thirds, their industrial strength is weak, it is difficult to make up, so even though the army is very strong, but it is not a threat to the United States, I am more worried now that if the Japanese attack India with all their might, and then attack the Middle East, and join forces with the German and Italian armies in North Africa in the Middle East, then we will be in trouble, On the Australian side, the Japanese will at least take Australia down before they attack us, otherwise they will not be able to attack the Americas with peace of mind. ”
Roosevelt said: "Well, this Japanese move was really unexpected, and the Chinese, their performance was really surprising, I really don't know what means they used to make the Japanese willingly return all the Chinese territory?" ”
Marshall said: "This time we made a mistake, we originally wanted to give the Chinese people a little color to see, but we didn't expect to get a set, we drilled it ourselves." ”
Roosevelt said: "I can't regret it now, but let's let the ambassador to China work hard, isn't China's Soong Meiling, Kong Xiangxi, and Soong Ziwen inclined to the United States, they have huge power, and they are closest to Chiang Kai-shek, and maybe there is a turnaround, at least they can get some important information." ”
Marshall said: "I will inform you, now there is no doubt that the Japanese are going to attack the Pacific, so that our forces will be pinned down in the Pacific, and the forces to attack Europe will be insufficient, and I am afraid that we will have to recruit troops again this time." ”
Roosevelt said: "Indeed, if they do not increase the war against Germany, then they will have the energy to study nuclear weapons, and if they have developed them before, then the world civilization will be destroyed." ”
Marshall said: "So this time we plan to recruit 1 million soldiers, 500,000 soldiers first, the main force will go to Europe first, prepare to fight against Germany, with our strong firepower, the recruits will go to the Pacific after three months of training is the one who should be able to deal with the Japanese." ”
Roosevelt said: "Yes, but I think we will set up the training ground directly in Australia, so that if the Japanese attack Australia, these recruits can directly participate in the encirclement of Australia, otherwise Australia will be lost, then it will be more difficult for us to defeat the Japanese, and the casualties will probably be very huge." ”
Marshall said: "As long as we are the first to develop a nuclear bomb, then they will not be afraid of them." ”
Roosevelt said: "I'm more worried about Germany and Japan, intelligence shows that Japan is not lagging behind in nuclear bomb research, but they are relatively lacking in resources, and Australia is so rich in resources, if they find the resources they need, then it's really hard to say who will develop nuclear weapons first, we must go all out, don't let them have that kind of opportunity, if necessary, we must organize a bombing of Japan, destroy their industry, and increase the bombing of Germany, I believe it will definitely interfere with the Germans, It can also hit their industrial production and material supply. ”
Marshall said, "Okay, Mr. President, don't worry, take care of your illness, everything will be fine." Then he helped Roosevelt tidy up the blankets on his body.
Roosevelt said: "Marshall, although I am not so seriously ill, but the doctor thinks that I should not be working, otherwise it will aggravate the condition, Truman has already helped me share a lot, I am more worried about my body, in case it doesn't work that day, then there is only Vice President Truman to directly take over the right of the president, you have to cooperate well." ”
Marshall smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, the vice president just wants to help you share the pressure so that you don't get crushed." ”
Roosevelt said, "Okay, let me take a break, you go get busy first!" Marshall answered, and went out.
