took a plane with Jiang Baili and others, and returned to Nanjing in mid-December of the 26th year of the Republic of China.
The joy of victory in attacking Japan has been replaced by the heavy atmosphere of the United States' declaration of war against China.
As soon as Zhang Xinghan returned to China, he held a call meeting in Nanjing on the same day to declare war against the United States, which was attended by all the military and civilians in Nanjing.
At the conference, Zhang Xinghan put forward a call for resolutely not bowing to the Americans, calling on all the people to mobilize, enthusiastically sign up to join the army, and defend the territorial integrity and national dignity of the country.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Nanjing were enthusiastic and responded enthusiastically, and on the same day, no less than thousands of young and middle-aged people of school-age crowded the recruitment office of the Nationalist Army in Nanjing.
Immediately afterward, Zhang Xinghan convened an emergency meeting jointly composed of the Military Commission and the Executive Yuan.
The meeting decided that the whole country should immediately enter a state of first-class combat readiness and expand its armed forces as much as possible to prepare to defend its territory against the attack of US imperialism.
In the office of the chairman of the Military Commission.
Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were standing side by side in front of a huge operational map to discuss the next strategic military deployment.
"Remember, you see, after our army captured Japan, the defensive area has extended from the mainland to the Japanese archipelago, the Ryukyu column, the Taiwan archipelago and other island chains.
But with the current strength of our navy, it is impossible to block the sea surface of this thing up and down for tens of thousands of miles.
Therefore, in addition to attacking the above-mentioned three archipelago areas, the Americans may also pass through the sea areas between them and directly attack the mainland of our army.
In this way, the major cities along our coast, such as the Songhu-Hangzhou region and the Jiaodong Peninsula, are likely to become the primary targets of their attacks.
We can't help but prepare! β
Zhang Xinghan nodded approvingly and said, "Inform Yan Xishan." Arrangements were made for various ministries of the Executive Yuan to coordinate with local government departments to make every effort to organize the relocation of industries from coastal areas to the hinterland of the Central Plains. β
Jiang Baili frowned and said: "Commission, the most worrying people are not the Americans, but the Soviets, the Americans are now declaring war on us, if the Soviets stick a knife in the back, then we will fall into a situation where we will be attacked by the enemy on our backs, and the war will be extremely unfavorable." β
Zhang Xinghan said: "I have also thought of this, so let's ask Zhou Gong to send an envoy to Germany again." Try to persuade Hitler to start a war in Europe, preferably against the Soviet Union. β
"However, when Zhou Gong went to Germany a few days ago, didn't you already ask him to advise Hitler not to start a war against the Soviets for the time being, and so on, Hitler can still listen to our advice." Jiang Baili was a little worried.
"The situation is different, we have destroyed Japan, violated the interests of the Americans in the United States, and started a direct war with them. And if we are annihilated under the attack of the Soviet Union.
Then Hitler will lose his only powerful ally, and his aspirations to rise in Europe and eventually dominate the world will be frustrated.
So, he will definitely agree to start a war in advance. In particular, to contain the Soviet Union, so as not to be attacked by the Soviet Union and the United States.
In Hitler's mind, the Americans and Soviets should be the biggest henchmen, especially on the other side of the ocean. The United States is blessed with a unique geographical location.
They were probably the ones that Hitler feared the most.
If we were able to fight both in Asia with the Americans, it would have been extremely advantageous for Hitler and his German Reich. Zhang Xinghan analyzed.
"Well, that makes sense." Jiang Baili nodded.
"In addition to contacting the Germans to start the war in advance. We should also make full preparations to build our first island chain defense circle with Taiwan, Japan, and the Ryukyu Islands as the three major support points.
At the same time, they will mobilize heavy forces to hold on to China's coastal areas, and if the Americans forcibly attack China's mainland, they will first have to solve two major threats, that is, they will have to completely seize air and sea supremacy.
Otherwise, our naval and air bases in Taiwan and Japan will be able to take off at any time and threaten their rear lifelines. Therefore, increasing the expansion of the navy and air force is the most crucial issue in whether or not we can win this war.
If the Americans really dare to land on our mainland to fight at all costs, they will really push themselves into the quagmire of war.
We are also confident that we will wipe out all the aggressors who dare to land on our soil. β

Germany, Berlin, Chancellery.
Hitler, GΓΆring, Guderian and other important confidants gathered together to discuss the development of the war situation in Asia.
Zhang Xinghan made such a big move in Asia that even the Americans declared war on China, and it was impossible for Hitler not to know about it.
Therefore, he gathered his henchmen and discussed how he and his German empire should choose, and now Germany, which is developing and recovering rapidly.
The rapid growth of national and military strength also directly led to the continuous expansion of Hitler's already imminent ambitions.
"Goering, you've been to China, what do you think about the current situation in Asia, tell me about it." Hitler asked, pointing at Goering.
Goering hurriedly and respectfully stood up and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, the current Chinese are completely different from the Chinese we have always known.
How to say, their main change should be the change of spirit, if the former Chinese are compared to the fallen knights who have lost their fighting spirit and courage.
Then the current Chinese are warriors who have regained confidence, summoned courage, picked up combat swords, stepped on war horses, and fought high!
Yes, it is a warrior, a brave knight who dares to challenge all powerful opponents! β
"It was they who found their spiritual faith and rejuvenated the fighting spirit of an entire nation, just like our great Germanic peoples." There was a word of appreciation in Hitler's eyes.
"Mr. Prime Minister, with our alliance with the Chinese, if the Americans attack them, we need to provide assistance from a treaty point of view.
However, from the international environment and geographical location that China is now facing, it is difficult for us to provide direct help to the Chinese. Guderian said.
Goering nodded undeniably, and both looked at Hitler in unison to see what their Supreme Leader thought.
Hitler turned his head to look at a map of the conference that had been hanging in his office, walked over and stared at it for a moment, and said: "Sometimes strategic aid is more effective and clever than tactical aid.
Moreover, I never intended to actually risk the lives of our heroic soldiers of the German Empire to help the Chinese.
We are directly interested in the relationship, and we cannot be regarded as real allies. β
Goering and Guderian looked at each other in surprise, and then Goering said, "What do you mean, Chancellor?" β
"Wait a minute, I don't think Zhang Xinghan will make any moves, and when his envoy comes, we'll make the final plan." Hitler said thoughtfully.

United States, Office of the President of the White House in Washington.
"Mr. President, the first reinforcements have departed, and they are expected to arrive at the Hawaii military base in a week." A white secretary reported to the cripple.
"This amount of troops is far from enough, and the Navy and Army Command have been instructed to speed up the build-up of troops, and within half a month, they must launch an attack on Japan and Taiwan." Luo Cripple said impatiently.
In such a short period of time, Zhang Xinghan commanded the Chinese expeditionary force to capture Tokyo, and also captured alive the spiritual pillar of the Japanese, Emperor Hirohito, which was an unexpected result.
In his opinion, even if the city of Tokyo was lost, the Japanese resistance would not stop, and the American army had enough time to unite with the Japanese army to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese army while the Sino-Japanese war was still in progress.
Thus defeating the Chinese army in one fell swoop.
However, now that Emperor Hirohito was captured by the Chinese army, millions of Japanese troops and tens of millions of Japanese were forced to stop resisting, surrender to the Chinese army, and surrender.
The Chinese army has no worries, and the next thing the US army will face will be the most complete resistance of the Chinese army.
So Roosevelt couldn't help but be upset.

Nanjing City, Office of the Chairman.
"Zhou Gong, it may be more dangerous for you to go to Germany this time, the Americans have already declared war on us, and it is not safe to take German ships. Just in case, I decided to send two submarines to secretly send you over.
So, please take care. Zhang Xinghan said justice to Zhou with a sincere and guilty face.
Zhou Gong smiled very freely and said: "General Zhang, you don't have to worry too much about me, it is my honor to contribute to the country and the nation."
No matter how big the danger is, it's worth it. β
"By the way, before I came, Runzhi asked me to tell you that although the war with the Americans this time was forced to do so, since it has torn its face, don't be afraid.
With the support of 40,000,000 people, we will be able to achieve the final victory, but the only thing to watch out for is the Soviets in the north.
They are likely to take advantage of the fact that the Americans are in the midst of a fierce battle with us and will intervene from behind. Zhou Gong suddenly added.
Zhang Xinghan nodded happily and said: "Please tell Chairman Mao Zhou Gong, I must keep in mind that this time I asked Zhou Gong to send you to Germany, the purpose is this." β
After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he handed an envelope to Zhou Gongdao: "Everything I want to say is here, Zhou Gong, you can open it after you get on the submarine, and do what the letter says, you will definitely be able to move Hitler to start the war in advance and help us contain the Soviets." β
Zhou Gong took the envelope and nodded solemnly, shook hands with Zhang Xinghan and said, "Then I will leave." β
"Zhou Gong take care all the way!" Zhang Xinghan freed up a hand and saluted him solemnly.
After seeing Zhou Gong leave, Zhang Xinghan turned around and arranged: "Zhongzi, prepare the car immediately, let's go to the airport." β
ps: The first shift, there are two more, I will try my best to complete it before twelve o'clock, thank you, continue to ask for recommendation votes for support. (To be continued......)
