The mediation note between Britain and the United States was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the East China Autonomous Government, which quickly reported the contents of the note to the chairman.

Xia Jun is holding a conference call with the front-line command to discuss the next offensive plan.

At this time, the chariot brigade had basically been trained, and under such circumstances, the East China Army already had the ability to launch an attack on the trenches of the Yue army.

As soon as the chariot came out, the trenches were full of floating clouds.

However, if there were no chariots and the East China Army rashly attacked, victory could be achieved with the current superior forces, but it would have to pay an extremely heavy price, and the East China Army could not afford to be injured now.

The foundation of the East China Army is actually very weak, although it is said that it is well equipped and there is no shortage of supplies. However, there are few reserves, and although the militia has trained a lot in the past few years, it is difficult for them to meet the operational standards.

Of the thirteen production corps, eleven of the conscription corps have been taught, four of which are deployed in the northeast region, which are obviously unable to be mobilized now, and the other seven production corps are deployed in the Shandong battlefield.

In addition, the most important officer personnel is also a weakness, and the East China Army does not have so many reserve officers.

It is okay for a soldier to have a poor sense of combat sometimes, as long as he has an advantage in machines, such as artillery, and has a firm grasp of air supremacy, coupled with the correct command of the officer, then it is fine. However, the number of officers trained by the East China Army is not too large.

Therefore, the East China Army could not afford to be injured.

If you hurt your muscles and bones, it will take a while to recover.

The offensive plan formulated by the command was on the 20th, gathering all the Type 13 tanks, inserting the tank brigade from the lower end of the defense line in the southeast of the army, and the infantry quickly followed up to solve the follow-up war, while the tanks continued to penetrate in depth, breaking through the defense line of the Yue army in one fell swoop, and then encircling and annihilating the Yue army.

Judging from the fact that the East China Army currently has combat vehicles and superior forces, it is entirely possible to realize the tactical intention of interspersing, encircling, and annihilating.

Xia Jun was listening to the combat plan report of the command headquarters on the phone, and Zhu Chengjia sent the note here.

"Headmaster, it's really too deceitful, seeing that we are about to win, the British ran out to mediate, why didn't they come out to mediate early? Now that Xiao Yue was going to lose, they were in a hurry. Zhu Chengjia said angrily to Xia Jun.

Xia Jun took the note document with an expressionless face and read it, and when he saw the mediation note of the British, Xia Jun was not surprised at all.

However, to Xia Jun's surprise, the Yankees also sent a mediation note.

Xia Jun couldn't help frowning, his fingers tapped on the table and thought, why didn't the United States want to see the East China Army defeat Yuben on the battlefield in Shandong?

Just from this note, we can get an obvious message that the East China Autonomous Axe has gained US support in the name of confrontation with the East China government.

A subtle change has been found in the attitude of the United States.

Xia Jun thought about it for a while, and roughly sorted out the clue, at this time the United States is facing a huge opportunity to rise, but the biggest competitor is the East China Autonomous Political Axe led by Xia Jun.

As for what the Yankees are intended, whether they want to continue the Sino-Chinese war or to defeat the East China Autonomous Political Axe, Xia Jun is not very accurate.

But whatever the intentions of the United States, they have bad intentions.

However, the current relations between the East China Autonomous Government and the United States are still very good on the surface, and there are many exchanges between the two sides.

As for the United Kingdom, this is the big customer that the East China Autonomous Political Axe is currently trying to woo, and the Eastern China Autonomous Political Axe needs to get orders from the United Kingdom.

If the British mediation note is not followed, the British, which is already mired in war, will really have no way to sanction the East China Autonomous Political Axe, but as long as they do not place an order for the East China Autonomous Political Axe, it will still be the Yankees who will benefit.

Soon Xia Jun came to a judgment.

Britain is very determined to mediate this war, while the United States is the two ends of the snake and the rat, if the East China Autonomous Political Axe agrees to this mediation, then the United States has achieved its goal of prolonging the war, and if the East China Autonomous Political Axe is unwilling to let them mediate, then the United States is likely to take the opportunity to encourage Britain to send all orders to the United States, so that the United States can strive for the greatest benefits.

On the surface, no matter how the East China Autonomous Axe reacts, the United States will benefit.

"Huh!" Xia Jun suddenly smiled, had a plan in his heart, and said to Zhu Chengjia: "Don't worry, this is a favorable situation for us." Invite Zhu Erdian over immediately, and I will talk to him in detail. ”

"Oh!" Zhu Chengjia listened to Xia Jun's words, and ran to invite Zhu Erdian in a little ignorance, and he couldn't understand why the Anglo-American mediation was beneficial to us?

After Zhu Chengjia left, Xia Jun said to the other end of the phone: "The situation has changed, postpone the preparation of the attack plan." ”

Xia Jun's words made everyone in the command headquarters of Shahe Town feel a little confused, but the prestige of the chairman was unquestionable, and the attack plan was temporarily shelved.

Taking out a cigarette, Xia Jun smoked while thinking about what kind of conditions he should offer to the British this time.

As far as Britain is concerned, since they want to mediate this war, they must give some benefit, and the British political axe will not be stupid enough to think that their coercion can still work in the Far East.

At present, the British are lacking in skills, and the East China Autonomous Political Axe can completely ignore them.

A cigarette, Zhu Erdian hurried in.

In the past, it was Zhu Erdian who asked to see Xia Jun, but this time Xia Jun looked for him, Zhu Erdian was naturally very fast, and at this time, mediating the war in Shandong was an urgent matter.

Since Xia Jun is looking for him, he must want to exchange opinions with the British.

It is good to be able to communicate, but what makes Zhu Erdian a headache is the situation of not communicating, if the East China Autonomous Government has a tough attitude and does not even carry out dialogue, then this mediation will easily fail.

Xia Jun's expression was very serious, and when he saw Zhu Erdian coming to his office, Xia Jun politely got up and made a gesture to him to sit down, and then cut directly to the point and asked Zhu Erdian: "Mr. Ambassador, do you think it is just for a country to have a war on the land of a neutral country?" ”

Zhu Erdian felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and said to him: "Of course, of course, this is not justice, so we have to stop this war, aren't we?" ”

"In our view, they were not loyal allies of the British, and they only entered the war to gain profit in the Far East and to prepare for the invasion of our China. In the same way, in our opinion, the best way to stop the war is to war, and what does it mean that you Britain suddenly came out to mediate after the defeat in Shandong? Xia Jun asked, he first had to ensure the moral high ground.

Xia Jun continued: "And, Mr. Ambassador, do you know? The people in the Longkou area of Shandong Province are being ravaged by the soldiers, they are being killed for no reason, their property is plundered by the soldiers, and the women are being wiped out by the soldiers, this is the consequence of the war, if we do not solve this war as soon as possible, then the pain will continue. ”

"We in the British Empire just want to end this war as soon as possible, and I think you misunderstood what we meant." Zhu Erdian said against his heart without blushing.

"If this is the case, then I think you can make the Yue army in Shandong surrender as soon as possible, as soon as they surrender, all problems will be solved, and the British goal in Jiaozhou Bay has now been achieved. This war is not something we want to go on, but it is supposed to go on, and I think even a three-year-old child can understand it. Xia Jun's implication is to seriously question that the IQ of British people is not even as good as that of a three-year-old child.

"......" Zhu Erdian was speechless when asked, and asked Yuben to surrender? This is obviously impossible, and even if the British Empire agrees, it is impossible for Ben to agree.

Both sides are well aware of the current situation, and naturally they are tacitly aware of it. But it was in the interests of Britain to let the Shandong battlefield cease.

"Your Excellency, is there no room for it?" Zhu Erdian asked tentatively.

"We, the East China Autonomous Government, can also understand the predicament of the British Empire in Europe, and we can also understand the embarrassment of the British Empire in wanting to win the war. But you have to understand that if you achieve your interests at the expense of our interests in China, I think the consequences will outweigh the losses. Xia Jun said to Zhu Erdian solemnly, Zhu Erdian felt very harsh when he listened, Xia Jun's words confirmed that he had fully seen the inability of Britain on the European battlefield.

Despite the large financial resources invested by Britain, the situation of the war remained uncertain.

I saw Xia Jun continue: "But there is room for maneuver, if there is a conflict between China and Britain, it will be detrimental to both sides." If we can work together, I think it will be good for both sides. ”

"Cooperation?" Zhu Erdian's eyes lit up when he heard this, because Xia Jun's words clearly revealed his willingness to accept mediation, but what this cooperation was, but it made him feel a little confused, but it was not difficult to think that it was time for Britain to pay the price.

"Yes, the British Empire is fighting against Germany in the European theater, and it needs a large number of arms and ships, and our East China Autonomous Government is fully capable of producing these arms and ships, and it is a large-scale and rapid production, as long as the British Empire gives us enough orders, we can manufacture these arms and ships faster than the United States, and deliver them to Britain as quickly as possible."

"In addition, if the British must stop the war in Shantung, we must have the right to enter the area occupied by the Japanese army and transfer all the people there. At the same time, we must pay for the current war and the losses of our Chinese people. Xia Jun made his conditions.

The reason why Xia Jun wanted to quickly solve the war in Shandong was that the biggest scruple was the loss of the people. The so-called long pain is better than short pain, and it is naturally good to end the war as soon as possible.

If the people in the Longkou area can be evacuated, then it is not impossible for the war to be prolonged. And after mediation, the Yue army will continue to increase troops to Longkou, and can continue to bleed Xiao Yueben.

As for the intentions of the United States, Xia Jun will let the United States lift a stone and hit himself in the foot.
