For China and its allies, the war began in 1943 at a critical juncture.

The landing in Sicily shocked the Central Powers, and the great fighting power displayed by the Squadron [***] also terrified the Allied troops.

But for the great president of the Republic of China, Wang Hengyue, he knew that victory was not far from himself and his country.

In 1943, history was full of uncertainties, but also of opportunities. In the past year, following the "meat grinder" operation, an operation codenamed "Great Desert" has also quietly kicked off

Very few people know about the existence of this operation, and only a very small number of core figures know what the real "Great Desert" plan is

"We will be seen as heroes by some, but we will also be seen as sinners by some." Before the "Great Desert" plan began, Wang Hengyue said to his cronies: "The nightmare of the whole world will start from this plan, and maybe one day the world will face the danger of destruction because of this plan."

The president's words made people feel creepy to listen to, and Chen Lifu listened to them with a creepy sound, and couldn't help but say: "President, since this is the case, can't we not use this plan?" ”

"We don't need it, and someone will use it sooner or later." Wang Hengyue shook his head lightly: "This plan, or this kind of weapon will come out sooner or later, if we use it first, we will grasp the opportunity, or to put it mildly, we will have the capital to blackmail other countries." The only way to prevent a terrible scenario is to strike first. ”

Wang Hengyue has already decided to start this plan, and once this plan is launched, there is no possibility of stopping

London, September 1943.

The bombardment of Britain intensified as the Axis powers successfully repelled the Allied attack in Sicily and annihilated more than 80,000 Allied troops.

Especially in London, the bombing took place day and night, to the point of madness.

Wave after wave of planes appeared over London, and the air raid sirens were repeated one after another, and there was no way to stop. It was a catastrophe in London's history.

The Luftwaffe, which received new aid from China, also began to equip new jets, rearmed the Luftwaffe, and joined the bombing of Britain with the Chinese.

Hitler had given up on his illusions in Britain altogether, although he had previously firmly believed that Britain would most likely become an ally of the Germans.

It is undeniable that Hitler was always full of affection for two countries, one was Britain and the other was China.

The fondness for China is not because China has now become a staunch ally of Germany, and this favourwill has been ingrained in Hitler since he was a teenager.

What kind of person was Hitler, who was shocked by the whole world, in real life? German Field Marshal Keitel once commented that he was a "sentimental cold-blooded soldier". Rommel Rommel, the desert fox, called him "an old man who loves to tell jokes" in letters to his family, and his enemy, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, called him "the most talented economic reformer and financial expert of the 20th century" at a party. In Hitler's secret library there is a large number of books and documents from China.

Help from a Chinese family in his early years - Hitler, in his autobiography describing his childhood life in Vienna, once mentioned that when he was poor, he received selfless help from a Chinese family living in Austria, and the family of "Zhang" (according to the original German pronunciation "cheung", which can also be translated as "cheng") once provided him with 500 Austrian imperial shillings for his tuition and living expenses, and often invited him to his home for dinner and lodging. When they learned that Hitler had a good talent for painting, this kind Chinese family also took the initiative to help him contact the famous University of Vienna, hoping to sponsor him to study at the university.

"Their help was selfless and unforgettable," Hitler once lamented as he recounted his past. Later, when Hitler came to power, he annexed Austria, but no matter what method he used, he never found this kind benefactor again.

Hitler also had Sun Tzu's Art of War and Zizhi Tongjian on his bedside!

Hitler was very fond of the ancient Chinese art of war and books. According to his entourage, it was not uncommon to see Chinese books in German at the head of the Reich's bedside. Hitler carried a condensed translation of the Art of War with him during his visits to the French occupation zone and to Italy, and he often read and wrote numerous reading notes. When Rommel was appointed Field Marshal and Commander-in-Chief of the North African Front, he also gave the famous general a condensed translation of Sun Tzu's Art of War with his own annotations, which made the loyal general weeping for gratitude.

At the same time, Hitler also despised the book to the extreme. He once said, "In a lowly country like Ben, they only fish by the sea!" ”

In his letters to some important generals, he also put forward his own idea of dividing the world: the boundary between Bakasten, that is, the eastern part of Poland and Russia, the west, including Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the west coast of the Atlantic, the territory of the Third German Reich, and the east, including Asia, Asia Minor, West Asia, India, and the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, as the territory of the Republic of China.

Why is this happening? This is because some of Hitler's experts believed that the oldest ancestors of the Aryans were in the Tibetan province of China, and that the branches were later transferred to Europe. Because Han and Tibet are of the same origin, the mainstream Han people of Chinese may also have Aryan blood.

So Hitler said: "The Chinese are not equal to the Tatars and the Huns, they are a special race, a race with some civilization." ”

In addition, Hitler bore the entire cost of the Chinese delegation to the 1936 Olympics, saying that the Chinese were "a special and generally colored people who deserve more rights." ”

At that time, Germany cracked down on all the countries that hosted Jews, but China had the largest number of such people, and Germany did not even put forward conditions.

At the same time, at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, the "National Anthem of the Republic of China" was selected as the best national anthem in the world. This was also at Hitler's behest.

As for the British, Hitler believed that they were of the same race as Germany, and that they deserved the right to divide the world with Germany.

But the British's hardline attitude towards the Germans completely shattered Hitler's illusions

Strange thoughts, God knows what the Führer had in mind.

When this disillusionment was shattered, it was replaced by a frenzied retaliation against Britain, especially after China entered the war in full swing and further increased aid to Germany.

In just a few days, from early September to mid-September, London was hit with more bombs than at any other time.

The Chinese acquiesced, and even condone this unbridled bombardment by the Germans, and for the Chinese, they could fully bear such attrition.

China has almost all of Asia, and almost all of Russia, and for every ton of steel they throw, they can quickly replenish two tons or more.

Since Germany had the full support of China, it had become fearless and unscrupulous about the attrition of war.

And on September 20, an incident irritated the Germans even more. Jiang Baili, Chief of Staff of the Republic of China and First Class General of the Army, led a military delegation to visit Germany for the second time.

The whole of Germany was boiling, especially with the huge amount of support that China had given to Germany.

Germany's welcome to General Chiang Baili was of the highest standard. The entire German people in Berlin took to the streets, waving the flags of China and Germany in their hands, shouting and cheering wildly.

The cries of "Long live Sino-German friendship" and "Long live the Führer, long live the president" can be heard everywhere in Berlin.

Such a frenzied scene that even the members of the Chinese delegation were surprised.

Adolph. In front of tens of thousands of Berliners on Berlin's square, Hitler expressed his welcome to Jiang Baili and the Chinese delegation. He enthusiastically praised the friendship between China and Germany, and firmly believed that China and Germany would be able to achieve the final victory in this war!

The cheers of the Germans below never stopped, and Hitler's speech was interrupted several times.

A telegram was sent to Adolf. In Hitler's hands, this is somewhat strange, because it was a telegram to the Chinese delegation, but it was first given to Adolf. Hitler.

Adolph. Hitler took one look, then waved his hand, the crowd in the square fell silent, and Hitler said into the microphone:

"Today, I am honored to announce a major decision on behalf of China's political axe, and it is my honor to announce it, and it is also the glory of Germany, and I think that the President of the Republic of China has chosen to announce this decision at this time, which has its special significance, which will witness the unshakable friendship between China and Germany."

The square was silent, and no sound could be heard, Hitler said after a short pause; "In view of Jiang Baili, Chief of Staff of the Republic of China, for his contribution to the Chinese revolution, his great help to China in all wars, and his invincible performance on the battlefield, at the proposal of the President of the Republic of China, the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of China agreed to promote Jiang Baili to the rank of Marshal of the Republic of China!"

With a "boom", the whole square was completely boiling, and huge cheers resounded in the sky again.

Field Marshal Jiang Baili! The first marshal to appear after the Republic of China Wang Hengyue came to power!

Even, even Jiang Baili didn't expect that he would be promoted to field marshal before!
