In fact, the overall level of transportation in Europe is higher than ours. Zhang Xing said earnestly: "All in all, we still have a long way to go in terms of the overall level in all aspects. ”

"Yes, Baili now only hopes that when the war is over, our Chinese nation will be able to go all out to develop the economy and build a rich and powerful country in an all-round way." Jiang Baili also sighed.

………………

Taiwan, Chiayi Military Airport, Taipei Military Airport, Tainan Kaohsiung Military Airport, three planes, pig pigs, island and novel fields have reconnaissance planes taken off one after another.

They were ordered by Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the border guards stationed in Taiwan, to search for traces of the US 1st Fleet in the South China Sea.

At the same time, more than 50 XXI submarines, which were temporarily under the controlled command of the South China Sea Border Guards, also secretly set out from the port to form a joint search force with aerial reconnaissance planes from the bottom of the sea, and launched a search for the 1st Fleet of the US Navy, which had temporarily stopped its attack.

At the same time, Zhang Xinghan received an order to send reconnaissance planes and submarines to Wang Yizhe, Huang Xiansheng, commander-in-chief of the Japanese dispatch army.

They also dispatched a large number of planes and submarines to search for the US Navy's Third Fleet, which had basically lost air supremacy, and prepared to launch a new round of active attack on it.

…………

London, England, the Prime Minister's official residence.

The current British Prime Minister Winston Churchill officially sent a telegram to US President Roosevelt, agreeing to Roosevelt's request for all British colonies in the Far East, mainly India, Burma, Malaysia, Brunei and other regions, to unite with the US military to fight against the Chinese army.

And, at the same time, Churchill agreed to Britain's formal declaration of war on China.

The Netherlands and France followed the UK. In early February of the 26th year of the Republic of China, they successively declared war on China.

However, the number of belligerents and areas were limited to colonial legions such as Vietnam, Laos, and Indonesia.

The French were apparently much more wary of Germany, which had just declared war on Poland.

As for the British and Dutch, they also focused more on Europe, especially the Dutch, who bordered Germany, and during the period of Germany's large-scale eastward offensive expansion, they did not dare to draw troops from their own country to Asia to attack China.

Moreover, since the Dutch lost to the British at sea and the French on land. It was once a dead country and was incorporated into France, and now it is a constitutional monarchy in the city.

It is no longer the great power of the sea coachman of the past, and now it is extremely weak in Europe after the First World War, regardless of its national strength and military strength.

For the Germans, they were like a herd of lambs to the slaughter, otherwise there would not have been a tragic event in the history of World War II when they surrendered to the Germans in just four days and the Netherlands became a government-in-exile.

So, such a declining so-called power. It is no longer possible to have the strength to send reinforcements to Asia.

The reason why they dared to declare war on the Chinese army, which has now dominated Asia, was to follow in the footsteps of their big brothers, Britain and France.

…………

On the same day, Zhang Xinghan announced that the Republic of China had formally declared war on Britain, France, and the Netherlands.

and to annul any humiliating treaties and terms signed between the cowardly and incompetent Manchu government and the Great Powers.

In other words, the so-called Lend-Lease treaty between Hong Kong and Macao will become invalid from this moment. China's armed forces will likely send troops at any time to recover these two areas of China's inherent territory.

After Britain, France, and the Netherlands declared war on each other, an airborne division of the U.S. Army signed an alliance agreement with Britain and France to serve as the vanguard of the two countries' colonies, and the northern part of Vietnam and Burma near the border town of China.

Meanwhile. The U.S. Navy's Atlantic Fleet and Pacific Fleet, one of each of the U.S. Navy's vast transport clusters, transported the first batch of about 100,000 U.S. Army troops across the Strait of Malacca.

Thousands of marines from its navy's first fleet also landed in northern Vietnam's ports and headed to the Sino-Vietnamese border to join its 1st Airborne Division.

…………

Nanking. When Zhang Xinghan sent information about the first movements of the British, American, French, Dutch and other armies through overseas agents of the Military Command and Secrecy Bureau.

In particular, a large number of US land forces have crossed the Strait of Malacca under the escort of the Navy.

That is: "It seems that Roosevelt has been planning for a long time, and he has long concluded that Britain and France and other congresses agree to declare war on us, so he has been preparing for a long time." ”

Jiang Baili said: "Fortunately, you have the foresight to transfer the Central Army to the southwest garrison, otherwise we will really be a little busy."

However, in this way, I think that we should also immediately call Jiang Gong to remind him to strengthen his precautions, especially on the border between Guangxi and Yunnan, Li Zongren and Long Yun They must be vigilant, in case the British, French, American, and Dutch allied forces suddenly attack, caught off guard, and lost the border defense! ”

"Well, it makes sense, immediately call Jiang Gong, Li Zongren, and Long Yun respectively, urging them to strengthen their defense, and don't give the powers a chance to take advantage of it.

No matter what the cost, I must defend the defense line for me, and I must not lose the southwest! Zhang Xinghan said.

………………

Wuhan, the temporary residence of Jiang Gong.

Since Hu Zongnan, Gu Zhu and Jiang Gong's descendants led 600,000 troops to the southwest, Jiang Gong's family moved from Fenghua to Wuhan with Chen Lifu and others.

With Zhang Xinghan's support, Jiang Gong's 600,000-strong army was able to enter the southwestern provinces in the name of justice.

It was only a matter of time before Jiang Gong occupied the magpie's nest, and he had full confidence to unify the southwestern provinces, rebuild his foothold, and build the southwest into his own large rear base.

When the situation changes in the future, he will compete with Zhang Xinghan and compete in the Central Plains.

Because no matter whether he plays politics or conspiracy, Jiang Gong has the confidence to blow up Li Zongren, Liu Xiang, Long Yun and others.

All he needed now was the right opportunity.

Therefore, when I learned that Britain, France, the Netherlands and other three countries had declared war on China and began to gather troops on China's southwestern border, I was so excited that I almost couldn't sleep all night.

In Jiang Gong's view, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to enter the southwest.

In this way, the 600,000-strong army of Hu Zongnan, Gu Zhu and others will be able to enter the border defense of the southwestern provinces in the name of righteousness, and resisting the invasion of foreign powers is the most important thing that must be done.

In a secret conference room, Jiang Chengcheng and Zhang Zhizhong discussed the border defense of troops stationed in Yunnan, Guichuan, Guizhou and other provinces.

Wang Shihe and the chief of the guard walked in with a telegram in his hand, and saluted the former: "Commission, call from Nanjing." ”

Jiang Gong stretched out his hand to take the telegram, read it again, and said with a smile to Zhang Zhizhong: "Hehe, Zhang Xinghan's intelligence is quite sensitive, but with this telegram, the development of our troops should be much smoother." ”

"Commission, the Yankees are menacing this time, and there are colonial legions of Britain, France and the Netherlands as their minions, although our army has an advantage in troops, but if there is no air supremacy, I am afraid it will still be very passive." Zhang Zhizhong worriedly suggested: "Therefore, I suggest that you send a telegram to Chairman Zhang, asking him to send a batch of planes to Yunnan and Guangxi and other important areas.

In order to prevent our army from completely losing air supremacy and falling into a situation of being passively beaten. ”

"Well, that makes sense." Jiang Gong nodded when he heard this, and immediately said to Wang Shihe: "Shihe, immediately send a telegram to Zhang Xinghan, just say that the European and American powers are menacing, and it may be difficult to resist the enemy without an air force."

In order to boost the morale and morale of one million officers and men of our southwest frontier army, I ask him to send 100 to 200 capable fighters to the southwest to defend the airspace in the southwest! ”

"Yes." Wang Shihe replied suddenly, and immediately turned around and took the order to leave.

…………

Nanjing, Office of the Chairman.

When Guo Zhong sent Jiang Gong's telegram asking for help to Zhang Xinghan, Zhang Xinghan picked it up casually and glanced at it, and fell into deep thought.

Jiang Baili, who had been cooperating with him in handling the documents next to him, saw this and asked, "Commission, what's wrong?" ”

"Jiang asked me for plane support, and I was hesitating whether to give it or not." Zhang Xinghan pondered.

"The commission is worried that after these air forces are stationed in the southwest, they will be taken over by Jiang Gong for his own use?" Jiang Baili asked rhetorically.

"That's not it, the Air Force was created by us, even if the pilots are bought, we can easily destroy them, Jiang Gong has no supporting ground crews and facilities, let alone a replacement fighter that can be consumed.

Even if all the air forces sent to him surrendered to him, it would be difficult for him to exert their combat effectiveness for a long time. Zhang Xinghan said.

"What are you worried about?" Jiang Baili asked.

"I am not worried, but I am thinking that for the sake of today's plan, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, as well as in the direction of the Goryeo Peninsula and all important cities on our southeast coast, need to be stationed in the air force to strengthen our army's defense forces.

From which theater should planes be transferred to the southwest?

You must know that only when we have deployed a sufficiently powerful air force in Japan and the Taiwan archipelago can we temporarily deter the US Navy fleet and seize the initiative and upper hand on the battlefield. Zhang Xinghan said with a sad face.

Jiang Baili thought for a while and said, "Bench, I have an idea." ”

"Huh? Let's hear it. Zhang Xinghan looked at him curiously.

"Now that the German army is just around the corner to attack the Soviet Union, the pressure on our Northwest Frontier Army will be doubled by that time, and you can see if it is possible to transfer a number of German fighters from General Gao Chu's Northwest Frontier Army to make up for the weakness of insufficient air power in the Southwest Theater." Jiang Baili said the truth.

After Zhang Xinghan heard this, he immediately slapped the table and said: "This method is good and completely feasible, but I didn't think of it for a while." ”

"Adjutant Guo, you immediately send a telegram to Gao Chu and order him to send one hundred and fifty German-style BF-109 fighters to the southwest."

After winning the battle of Outer Mongolia, in view of the fact that the Northwest Frontier Army would need to take a defensive position for the time being, Zhang Xinghan replaced all the fighters in this theater with BF109 fighters whose combat performance was no less than that of the Zero type.

All the Zero fighters, which have a larger range and are more suitable for naval and air operations in the first island chain, have been transferred to Taiwan, Japan, and mainland cities along the southeast coast.
