What the Americans did not expect was that their plans would be known to the Chinese so quickly, so fast that they had not even had time to crash the ship and leave the port with the first batch of equipment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, if Wang Sirui is not a latecomer, and does not know that the United States has profited several times in history, it is unlikely that he will make such a deployment in advance, so now, when he learns of the Americans' plan, he will definitely be caught off guard.

But in any case, this behavior of the Americans is undoubtedly playing with fire, and even on another level, the Americans simply want to push the Chinese to the side of the allies.

However, the game of great powers is very different from the game between private individuals, in the game between countries, even if the two sides kill angrily at one moment, the next moment there is a great possibility that they will choose to hold hands for the common good.

Therefore, this move of the United States also has two deep meanings, one is that it hopes that through military aid, Japan can drag China to the Japanese battlefield, so that the Chinese have no energy to take care of other places, which can be regarded as indirectly helping the European battlefield. Second, the Americans also hope to use this method to wake up the Chinese, so that they can clearly see the balance of power between the Entente and the Allies as soon as possible, and let the Chinese make the 'right' decision as soon as possible.

However, no matter what, the final outcome is fixed two extremes, as long as the Chinese make a choice, if it is the Allied side, then Japan will get more and more advanced military aid support, if the Chinese choose to join the Entente, then Japan will never get a bullet of military aid, and even, the Americans will help China get out of Japan as soon as possible, so that it can be put into the European theater earlier.

After all, Britain and France can only survive in Europe now, and in the face of the overwhelming offensive of the German army, the two countries can only continue to retreat, losing large areas of territory and living space one after another.

At this time, the European battlefield also urgently needs a strong injection of reinforcements, otherwise, at most, in half a year, the British and French forces will likely collapse.

It should be mentioned here that because Germany started the war earlier than in history, and the preparation period was also insufficient, after the German army quickly opened up a large area of the battlefield by relying on armored forces after the war, the troops began to be slightly tired, and the logistics supply was insufficient, so the war began to change to a confrontation at the beginning of the decade, supplemented by a small number of battles, and there was no too large-scale military action on both sides.

The Germans are preparing at a rapid pace, because the next group of troops is about to enter the battlefield, and after injecting a large number of living forces and perfecting the logistics system, the German attack power will be upgraded to a higher level.

The situation in Britain and France is a little less optimistic, their tanks have not yet been developed, and even if they are developed, they are produced in the United States, and then shipped to Europe, the supply line is too long, and the previous war has made the British and French soldiers almost lose confidence, so before the German army launches the next offensive, if the Entente does not have a bombshell news to boost morale, then the Entente will have a high probability of a complete collapse.

The top leaders of Britain and France also saw this, so they continued to urge China at the beginning of 10 years, and promised a lot of benefits, but the Chinese were unmoved, which perfectly interpreted what is called real Taijiquan.

In desperation, Britain and France had to join forces with the United States to create such a trouble for the Chinese in the Far East, hoping to make the Chinese make a choice as soon as possible, on the other hand, they were also worried that the choice made by the Chinese would be unfavorable to them, and even directly send troops to attack their interests in the Asian region, so they thought of such a way to get the best of both worlds.

'Japan is suspected of finding reinforcements? A friend in the United States told me that he had seen hundreds of thousands of Japanese-style equipment in major arsenals in the United States! ’

Early the next morning, such a piece of news was first published in a newspaper in the empire that was not too large and had a very average reputation, and it was placed in the headline position, and on the day of the newspaper's publication, the newspaper, which had only sold a few thousand copies a day, instantly increased to more than 50,000 copies.

And this is still limited to Shanghai, this newspaper has only been published in Shanghai, more than 50,000 copies, which is basically the limit of a city's publication.

You must know that there are only more than 10,000 factories in Shanghai, and almost every factory has some large-scale newspapers, like some other tabloids, which can basically only be sold on the streets, and it is basically impossible to sell more than 10,000 copies a day.

"Americans are so hateful, how can they be like this? Aren't we allies of the United States? A five-year-old man with three thicknesses and a greasy body roared with anger on his face with a wrench in his hand.

The United States is China's ally, which is the most common perception at the grassroots level in China, because the United States built an entire fleet for China a few years ago, and in the current Chinese industrial system, there is also a considerable part of American equipment, although the number of these equipment is constantly surpassed by domestic equipment in recent years, but this still cannot hide the friendship between the two countries.

"Maybe it's fake news? Nowadays, some tabloids, in order to sell newspapers to make money, it is possible to write any kind of news, and some time ago I also saw a news that a newborn pig ate an adult. The other replied nonchalantly.

"Don't talk nonsense, flies don't bite eggs, if there really isn't such a thing, would they dare to write like that? Don't talk about the pig's cannibalism, it must be fake news, but you don't use your brains to think about it, what is written in today's headlines? To put it mildly, if the news above is fake, I can guarantee that this newspaper will never see the sun set today. The other said with a calm face, then threw the tool in his hand on the ground, took out a cigarette from his pocket, took a beautiful puff, and continued:

"Look at what is written on the news? If nothing else, at least it's the head, right? Every claim is corroborated, and when put in court, that is evidence. Besides, this is the responsibility for provoking a war between the two countries, if it is fake, do they dare to write like this?

So, if I want to say that we should hurry up and work now, it is true to wonder if this news is true or false, just see if there is still their newspaper to sell tomorrow. Don't worry about anything else. ”

"That's right." The strong man who was angry first thought about it, immediately lit a cigarette, and then continued to manipulate the wrench in his hand to repair a Zhonghua brand truck.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as these people, but now everyone is also a 'young man of knowledge', and this educated person is different, at least in the direction of thinking about problems, there is a big difference, and they are also a lot more rational.

However, what is surprising is that the next day, instead of ceasing, this newspaper became even more popular, because in the news of this day, the newspaper directly named the names and locations of several American arsenals involved in this incident.

This is tantamount to putting the problem on the table and, more importantly, the newspaper has not ceased publication.

Judging from the style of the domestic government, the fact that this newspaper was able to see the sun this morning and continue to publish such news basically determines that the content expressed in this newspaper is not false.

Well, I don't dare to say 100% that it's true, but at least it's certainly not fake, as for whether there is water in it, this is not clear for the time being.

Intelligence officers from various countries in China also noticed the wind blowing in Shanghai in the past two days, and their feelings were also different, and the bitterness in their hearts could only be understood by themselves, and these intelligence officers quickly reported the situation that had happened in Shanghai to their superiors, and then received instructions to continue observation.

The fact that it was a tabloid newspaper and was confined to the Shanghai area would not have attracted the attention of the top echelons of the regional intelligence agencies, who would have taken the time to read it.

For several days, the tabloid newspaper continued to report on this incident, and their sales suddenly increased several times, and many people who came to Shanghai on business also chose to buy a copy to take home.

On June 10, four days after the news broke, a national newspaper called China News suddenly joined the bandwagon.

Zhonghua News was co-founded by several wealthy businessmen, because they have a nationwide transportation fleet in their hands, so the distribution of the newspaper is also relatively reliable, and in order to ensure that the whole country is published simultaneously, so it can only maintain one issue a week.

Don't think that private newspapers don't have authority, and if you do, you'd be mistaken.

One of the major shareholders behind Zhonghua News has been inspected by the emperor, and the other shareholders also have their own ways, and its style of publication is full of talents and is more commercial, which is very popular with the merchant class.

However, the headline of today's China News is, 'It has been confirmed that the United States is indeed mass-producing Japanese-made equipment!' ’

And with the voice of Zhonghua News, this news, which first started in Shanghai, instantly detonated the whole country, whether it is the working class, or the civil class, or the peasant class, all of them are angry at the actions of the Americans. Do you really think that China is still the same China as it was ten years ago?
