The Japanese commanders on the battlefield of China all knew that the reason for this was because in the blink of an eye, the great victory in Zhongtiao Mountain, Henan, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region, which stretched for four or five provinces, and the great victory in Hong Kong, gave these people a never-ending belief in victory, and these people began to believe that they could win this war, and they were willing to throw their heads and spill their blood in order to win this war!

It is also related to Lu Yuan's cruel treatment of those Imperial Cooperative Army before, so that the Imperial Cooperative Army knew the tragic end of being a traitor - it is not just a death, but also two people at both ends, not only themselves, but even their own families will not be able to raise their heads because they are the Imperial Cooperative Army!

In this case, Okamura Ninji can do extremely limited, because he and those generals know that the battlefield of China, they are already doomed to a dismal end, and they feel that even those low-level imperial soldiers have felt this, and the direct manifestation is that the morale of the imperial army is gradually declining, and it is no longer the same as before every battle, with the conviction of victory.

Okamura felt that it was the best policy for the empire to immediately withdraw its entire army and abandon China, otherwise continuing to entangle in China would only add endless casualties and huge resources, and the result would only be a few more days.

But now, the successive victories in Pearl Harbor, Malaysia, India and other places have made everyone in the empire in a state of madness, and he doesn't dare to report his thoughts to Hideki Tojo, otherwise he will have to be ordered to seppuku.

It's the end of the road......

Okamura Ninjishin said that watching the powerful empire come to an end, his heart was infinitely sad, but he was helpless.

Under such circumstances, Hong Kong, a strategically important place, has simply become a paradise insulated from war.

A large number of cement factories have been built, starting day and night, all kinds of combat fortifications have been renovated and strengthened under the leadership of Dr. Qiu, and a large number of fields have been developed, and the steel production of fertilizer plants in Bao'an County is also being accelerated.

On the part of the combat troops.

The training of the reserve militia is in full swing, and now Hong Kong's armed forces have reached more than 30,000 people, and with the Anglo-Canadian and Indian forces, Hong Kong's armed forces have reached a terrifying 40,000 people!

Among them, the main combat group of the National Male Semi-Automatic Rifle composed of veterans from Trojan County has the most powerful firepower, the three auxiliary regiments composed of more than 10,000 people are equipped with all 38 rifles, and the remaining militia use some guns aided by Britain and the United States, and their firepower should not be underestimated.

There is no shortage of machine gun grenadiers and the like, after all, Hong Kong is now backed by the arsenal of Trojan County.

The same is true for artillery fire, the British Royal Artillery Regiment has added some medium artillery fire, and the heavy artillery has been transported from Trojan County more than 20 guns, plus the previous heavy artillery, together with more than 30 guns, all equipped with Warwick Tutu Drag, only in terms of quantity and quality, it is much stronger than the artillery of a regular division of the Japanese army, and the mobility is too much stronger, but it may be the quality of the gunners, compared with the Japanese gunners, the gap is estimated to be not small, and can only rely on training to slowly improve.

It took more than a month before and two or three months after the year to do this.

"The power of national mobilization is terror......"

Looking at these reported materials, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he believed that if the Japanese came to attack Hong Kong again, one or two divisions would come over, and they would simply be sent to death, even if four or five divisions came to besiege together, he believed that with a solid offensive, he could fight with the little devil for a few months, even if the little devil could take Hong Kong, he would have to peel off his skin!

Now it is only beginning to take shape, and if you give yourself a few more months of training time, and four or five divisions will come over, Lu Yuan feels that Hong Kong is not without a chance to win!

Under such circumstances, Lu Yuan's last worries about Hong Kong's safety have been dispelled.

"Commander-in-Chief Lu, yesterday's group of scientists and technicians have settled down, and they all asked to see you, and I want you to assign jobs to them as soon as possible, so that they can contribute to Hong Kong and the motherland......

President Chen came in happily and handed over a long list of members, saying, "The donations from the overseas Chinese they brought back are all on this list, and the amount is not small......

Now, Lu Yuan has given up his identity as the head of the regiment, after all, he is now in Hong Kong, and it is no longer appropriate to use the identity of the head of the independent regiment of the Sichuan Army to hide people's eyes and ears.

Originally, according to Churchill or Yang Muqi's intentions, Lu Yuan was directly appointed as the governor of Hong Kong.

But Lu Yuan refused, if he accepted the appointment, wouldn't he really become a lackey of the British?

In the past two months, the country has complained about Lu Yuan's overall control of Hong Kong, but not allowing Hong Kong to return to the motherland.

Lu Yuan didn't refute it, and he didn't want to refute it, but it didn't mean that he really liked to listen to these rumors, so in this case, he didn't accept the appointment of the governor of Hong Kong, but gave himself the title of Hong Kong commander-in-chief - in fact, in his opinion, it doesn't matter what it is called, as long as the real power of Hong Kong is in his own hands, it doesn't matter what it is called.

Lu Yuan became the commander-in-chief, but President Chen was still President Chen, the president of the Overseas Chinese Patriotic Association.

It is specially responsible for receiving intellectuals, scientists and even technical workers who have responded to Lu Yuan's call to return to Hong Kong from abroad and want to contribute to the strength of the motherland, and also receives donations from some overseas Chinese.

"So ......"

Lu Yuan looked at the amount of donations and pouted, although this is the money saved by overseas Chinese from between their teeth, it is the heart of overseas Chinese who are pure to the motherland, he really shouldn't be too little - but no way, who made him lack money now?

The submarine he wants most now, the Germans can no longer count on it, and can only rely on the Yankees - Roosevelt is not answering his calls at all now, and those Yankee arms dealers are calling a ruthless price, ruthless and willing to take a plane to the United States to snipe those black-hearted arms dealers!

The only thing that is fortunate for him is that although Roosevelt does not answer his phone now, the two warships and planes that he and Churchill promised to help are already on the way, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Hong Kong in April.

"Commander, these are all beautiful knives!" When President Chan said this, he looked coquettish.

"Beautiful knives? That's quite a few! ”

Lu Yuan was suddenly happy, and his heart crackled for a while, thinking about how long it would take to make up the price code offered by those arms dealers and get back the twenty submarines ordered as soon as possible.

After handing over the check to Chairman Chen to Lin Shiwen for entry, Lu Yuan looked at the list of scientists, intellectuals, and skilled workers.
