On 2 November, the situation in the Pacific changed dramatically, the Japanese army suddenly parachuted into Sydney, and a number of leaders of the Australian government and important members of the Australian military who were presiding over the war there were dumplings made by the Japanese army at once, Australian Prime Minister Menzies and War Ministers Piercy and Spinder surrendered, and then the two jointly signed an order requiring the Australian troops who were resisting in various parts of Australia to surrender their weapons to the Japanese army......

After the news came, the whole world was shocked, and the traitorous matter of the Wang Jingwei group, which had a huge impact, was suddenly diluted a lot. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A week ago, Wang Ching-wei broadcast a speech entitled "How to Achieve Peace" in Cantonese on the Japanese pseudo-radio station in Tianjin, in order to sow discord and continue his shameless rebellion:

"As long as the administrative authorities in the front and rear, and the generals with the army, understand that there is hope for real peace, and that this peace is not harmful to the independence and freedom of the country and the nation, they will be free from Chiang Kai-shek's deceptive propaganda and Chiang Kai-shek's clamping power...... "The first step of peace action is to openly favor peace, to eliminate all the conspiracies and crimes of Nanhua and other reactionary forces in places within the reach of one's own power, to protect local law and order, and to protect the safety of people's lives, liberty, and property; The second step is to unite all the political forces in favor of peace and openly demand that Chiang Kai-shek put the country and the nation first and no longer be an obstacle to peace! ”

When An Yi heard this broadcast, he was dealing with the government affairs submitted by the secretariat after summarizing, and after listening to this nonsense peaceful remarks, he couldn't help but sigh. He knew very well that Wang Jingwei's profound remarks were mainly aimed at the powerful warlords Zhang Fakui, Deng Longguang, Li Hanxun, Yu Hanmou, and others in South China, with the aim of inducing them to break away from the anti-Japanese camp and openly surrender to Japan, recruit an army that could be used by Wang Jingwei, and even hope to build a territory without bloodshed.

It is a pity that Wang Jingwei is short-sighted in the end, he only saw that Zhang Fakui and others had cooperated with him for a long time to oppose Chiang, but he did not see the current general trend of resistance against Japan in the whole country, and did not see that all parts of South China were under the direct threat of the An Jia Army.

In the face of the Anjia army, which even the Japanese army cried wolf, these South China warlords must consider carefully, and then link it to the dull prospect of the United States after entering the war.

Sure enough, Wang Jingwei's hard-working performance was not heeded by the warlords, and only two days later, Guangdong Governor Li Hanxun sent a telegram to the whole country, saying that "after receiving a broadcast from Wang Rebellion here, he immediately urged his subordinates to strictly guard against cutting Xiaoyu's officers and soldiers and the people not to be deceived and ...... beguiled." As if he felt that he could not show his innocence in this way, Li Hanqun made another radio speech, saying that "it is ...... to bitterly denounce Wang Chao's fallacy and his treason against the party and the country."

Three days ago, Zhang Fakui, Yu Hanmou, Liang Hancao, and others successively issued speeches resolutely drawing a clear line with Wang Jingwei, exposing that "Wang Jingwei is brazen, and his words and deeds are comparable to Qin Xuan and Wu Sangui in the Song and Ming dynasties.......

In addition to broadcasting refutals, the military and political leaders in South China also telegraphed again and again to appeal for refuge, and also mobilized Beixian County in Guangdong Province to unanimously hold a "rally to fight against adultery" in order to "thoroughly smash the conspiracy."

In this wave of anti-Wang, the Nanjing government took advantage of the situation to issue the "Decree on the Strict Compilation of Laws and Regulations for Wang Zhaoming to Collaborate with the Enemy and the Country", pointing out: "Wang Zhaoming violated the national policy, disregarded the general righteousness, and absconded from his post when the whole country was unanimously fighting against Japan, and made peace in vain, and responded to the enemy's fallacies, hoping to confuse people's minds and obstruct the ...... plan", and strictly ordered all organs of the government to "strictly compile and punish according to law, and enforce discipline!" ”

Subsequently, the Central Committee of the Kuomintang announced that Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai, Chen Bijun, Mei Siping, Gao Zongwu, Ding Moyou and others would be expelled from the party and would never be allowed to return to the party.

However, Wang Jingwei's remarks, against the current international background of the triumphant song of the Japanese army and the German army, still confuse a large number of people, such as Zhao Zunyue, director and responsible secretary of the "Declaration", Ben Deguang, son of Ju Chunxuan, governor of Liangguang in the late Qing Dynasty, Fu Shishuo, provost of Shanghai Guangsha University, Xu Shanbo, son of Xu Qin, Kang Youwei's eldest disciple, Yang Qiyi, chief of staff of He Chengjun, former chief of staff of Wuhan appeasement chief, Liu Yufen, former chairman of the Gansu government, Bao Wenrough, former commander of Beiping Weicheng, Zheng Datong, former cavalry commander of the Northeast Army, Liu Peixu, former division commander under Tang Shengzhi, Ye Peng, former commander of the Wuhan garrison, Luo Junqiang, former chief political instructor of the Nanjing Army Military Academy, and others gathered around Wang Jingwei.

At the same time, Ding Mobu and Li Shiqun, the main leaders of Wang's puppet spy agency, also recruited a number of undesirable personnel in the military command and the central command, including Tang Huiming, Mao Ziming, Jian Jianwu, Ye Yaoxian, Zhang Zhengfan, and other cadres, and their momentum was greatly increased, and the forces of the military and the central command in North China and Shandong were greatly damaged.

On 1 November, Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai, Mei Siping, Tao Xisheng, Zhu Minyi, Ding Moyou, and others, after secret discussions, openly announced to the outside world that they would convene the Sixth National Congress of the Kuomintang in Tianjin in order to obtain "party unification" and come to power in a good name.

An Yi scoffed at this.

You must know that according to the regulations of the Kuomintang organization, the convening of a national party congress must be attended by representatives elected by various provinces and municipalities, special branches, and overseas branches.

However, with Wang Jingwei's current level of shamelessness, it is not difficult to imagine what means he will use to achieve his goal.

In the eyes of An Yi at this time, Chairman Wang, who was once unattainable, has become an out-and-out political clown, no matter how happy he dances, he is also a mantis arm as a car, which cannot affect the overall situation.

Nanhua, Xinjing, Xiaonanhai, Xuanwulou conference room, the highest meeting of the Nanhua Army SHI Committee is underway.

General Yang Fei, member of the military committee and deputy chief of the general staff, stood in front of the large military map:

"At present, the most interesting thing in the world is the unprecedented scale of the battle held outside the city of Moscow, the history of the battle is believed to be very familiar to everyone during this period of time, in short, the German army has won the victory on the reserve front, and is gradually approaching outside Moscow.

"However, we must see that as winter gradually approaches, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the German army. First of all, the autumn rain continued, the road muddy season had arrived, the German army had become slower and slower, and sometimes had to stop advancing, and the fighting Tanke had to leave behind to haul the artillery and ammunition trucks that were stuck in the mud pits. Especially in late October, the heavy rain was pouring down, the Germans were extremely embarrassed, the infantry slipped step by step in the mud, each cannon had to be pulled by many horse teams to advance, all the vehicles were stuck in the mud puddles, all the way to the axle part, and even the tractors were very difficult to move, so far, many German heavy guns have been unable to move!

"Secondly, due to insufficient preparation, up to now, the German army has not been effectively replenished, due to continuous fighting, some companies now have only more than ten people left, and the number of tanks and artillery available for use is also seriously insufficient, especially winter is coming, but now the German army has not even seen the shadow of winter clothes. In the vast forested swamps far behind, partisans had begun to appear as a result of the stupid national policy pursued by Germany, and the Germans were often sabotaged on their railways, their convoys were often ambushed, and supplies to the front were interrupted. "Thirdly, since yesterday, more than 2 million elite Far Eastern troops have begun to move to the western front, and the first batch of troops participating in the battle will be reviewed by Stalin on Red Square in Moscow on the 7th of this month, and then they will leave for the front. Due to well-known reasons, the Far Eastern Army's Qiche Tanke is deeply influenced by our Leopard Tanke, while the Bu Tanke has the shadow of our Tiger Tanke, and the Lag 444, MiG-4 and Yak-4 fighters equipped by its air force are all affected by our A out and Q 10,000 fighters, and they are not inferior to German weapons and equipment. In a sense, the participation of the Far Eastern Army in the war will become the last weight to overwhelm Germany! ”

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, Napoleon's crushing defeat in Russia can be said to be a compulsory course for every officer who has undergone a military academy education, and the experience of the German army now seems to be a copy of the nightmare of the French in those years.

Yin Jinan, who was ordered to return to Xinjing for the meeting, had a deep affection for Germany, and although the relationship between Nanhua and Germany was not as close as it was in the early days of the war, there were still normal trade exchanges, the railways and highways invested and built by Germany were in operation, and the electricity provided by the hydropower stations was serving industry. Hearing that Germany was very likely to face the first defeat, he took the initiative to stand up and said angrily: "The current war situation is indeed gradually tilting towards the Soviet side, but if Hitler decisively breaks his wrist, there is still hope to recover the decline." What Hitler needed to do now was not to attack, but to decisively build a strong defensive wall in the rear, and then withdraw the troops around Moscow one by one, so as to avoid major attrition of troops.

"In any case, the German army has now wiped out nearly 3 million Soviet troops in the battles of Minsk, Smolensk, Leningrad, Kiev and the current battle on the periphery of Moscow, which coincides with the operational thinking of our Anjia Army, which has always attached importance to the destruction of living forces and despised the occupation of land.

"At least since the start of the Soviet-German war, it was the German army, not the Soviet army, that made a profit! It is believed that with a series of difficult situations encountered outside Moscow, Hitler will wake up and change his strategy in time, so that even if the Soviet army joins the Far East Army in the future, it will only make up for the initial attrition, and the overall pattern will still be strong and weak! ”

An Yi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but thinking about Yin Jinan, who had served as a military attache in Germany for nearly three years, it should be understandable that he had deep feelings for Germany, and asked at the moment:

"Jinan, in your heart, do you want Germany to win or the USSR? You must know that although the Soviet Union has not yet joined the Allies, according to the information revealed by President Roosevelt in several phone calls, the Soviet Union has sent a huge diplomatic mission to Washington to discuss joining the Allies in order to unanimously resist the invasion of the Axis powers!

From this point of view, we should be on the side of the Soviet Union! ”

Speaking of this, An Yi simply stood up, paced back and forth for a while, and then said: "For a long time, we have pursued a policy of being close to Germany, and the main reason for this is that only Germany, the defeated country in the last European war, is willing to open up technology to us, or conduct equivalent trade without attaching any political purposes.

"The series of achievements we have made today, especially the development of science and technology, lies in the fact that we have the foundation of advanced German science and technology, and our weapons and equipment, from pistols and rifles to machine guns and cannons, have the shadow of the Germans, and most of our foreign scientists are Jews who have been rejected by Germany.

"In addition, both China and South China, before the outbreak of the war, were weak colonial and semi-colonial countries, big fat sheep that could be slaughtered at will in the eyes of the great powers, and since the Opium War, Britain, France, the United States and other countries have not regarded our country and nation in their eyes, and the status of the Chinese in the international community is very low and very low. Therefore, we urgently need a country to step up and break down this almost fixed hierarchy between countries...... points, breaking the tradition of white people being superior, and Germany, as the defeated country in the last European war, is the best object!

"Brethren, may you recall that when Germany attacked Poland two years ago, and Britain and France declared war on Germany, who was optimistic that Germany would have achieved what it is today? Who thinks that we in South China will become the spoiler of today's international situation? Let's think about it again, if France, the former No. 1 Army Power, had not been conquered by Germany, and Britain, known as the empire on which the sun never set, had not lost its vast colonies and its homeland had not been bombed to the ground, who would have faced up to the existence of China and South China and returned our cultural relics to us without compensation, was it just because of their kindness?

"Thinking about the faces of the great powers when Japan invaded China during the July 7 Incident, and then comparing the current status of China and South China in the world, everyone should understand that it is precisely because of Germany's disturbance that our country and nation have gradually gained the strength to compete with the great powers, and from this point of view, the Germans have made great contributions!

"But if the Germans do this, do we have to respond in good faith? Has our previous oil exploration in Germany, Austria, and Libya partially solved Germany's fuel shortage paid off? What would have happened if Germany had managed to defeat the Soviet Union and its territory bordered us?

With Hitler's arrogance, would he allow us such an unstable factor to exist?

All of this is worth pondering! In my opinion, it is better for Germany to be defeated in this battle of Moscow, so that there will be a fighting and unyielding Soviet Union as a buffer between us and the Germans, and we can continue to balance the strength of the Axis and the Allies through the presence of the Soviet Union......"

"Balance!?"

Xia Jian asked with some surprise, "Boss, you mean...... The power of the Axis powers, which had already begun to surpass the Allies? This ...... "This can't be...... "The United States is so powerful, I really can't figure out how they can lose their ......"......

An Yi smiled bitterly: "Xia Jian, you heard it right, it's balance!" Although the United States is strong, industrial production is not an overnight thing, it needs to be constantly accumulated! Americans are used to being comfortable, and at the time of the outbreak of the war, most factories were still in civilian production, and there was a process of transformation in the middle of the transformation from civilian to military! There is another problem, the weapons and equipment produced by these factories are not in stock, and almost all of them are put into use after leaving the factory, and they are constantly consumed in the Pacific and Indian Ocean battlefields, and they cannot reflect the advantages of industry for the time being!

Moreover, unlike the Japanese, who have received military and national education since childhood, it takes at least a year or more for young Americans to be content with pleasure and suddenly join the military, from a civilian to a qualified soldier. At least in the current situation, Germany and Japan have a certain head start, and what the Americans need most is time!

"I have to say that now the Axis powers are too strong, since the Japanese army occupied Sydney yesterday, in fact, Japan has become the new master of the Australian continent, a continent covering an area of more than 8 million square kilometers, complete industrial categories, and extremely rich resources means to Japan, I think everyone knows very well that if there is a stable development in the rear for another year or two while the front is constantly attacking, Japan's industry and agriculture will come to a new stage and regret it......

Seeing that everyone was whispering, and there seemed to be a lot of controversy about this, An Yi motioned to the Minister of Intelligence Liu Qing to announce a set of data on a slide:

As of the end of last year, Australia's total industrial output value was $12 billion, with a complete industrial system including ores, glass, chemicals, iron and steel, textiles, tanning, tobacco, wine, wood, furniture, papermaking, printing, electrical, rubber, electrical appliances, engines, shipbuilding, automobiles, tractors, and even musical instruments, jewelry, porcelain, etc., and the level of technology and mechanization is very high.

The development of industry and agriculture has brought progress to the transportation industry, as of December last year, Australia has 7 kilometers of railways, is an annual freight volume of 80,000 tons, passenger traffic up to 10,000 people, the number of railway workers accounted for 10,000 people, in addition to the road network extending in all directions, to last year, a total of highways up to a kilometer, with a variety of cars, about 10,000 vehicles.

At the same time, Australia also has an amazing performance in aviation and navigation, last year's civil aviation passenger traffic for the persuasion of Q old into, cargo volume of tens of thousands of tons, mail traffic of more than 5,000 tons, at the same time the establishment of a relatively complete cargo network, civil aircraft flight distance of nearly 10,000 kilometers throughout the year, all major cities are open to navigation, foreign aviation has also opened up, can fly to the United Kingdom and the United States. In terms of shipping, by the end of last year, Australia had a shipping company, Junjia, a large and small steamer, and all important coastal ports were navigable, and sailed to Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America.

In agriculture, the sown area has reached Vawanwan, mainly wheat, barley, corn, oats, potatoes, sugar cane, beans, etc., and the total value of major agricultural products is as high as hundreds of millions of pounds.

In terms of animal husbandry, the number of sheep in Australia last year has reached more than 10,000 tons of wool. At the same time, last year Australia already had cattle, concave "Naitou, horse barges, pigs and pigs ps2, heads, by-products of animal husbandry, such as cattle, sheep, pig skin, bristles, milk, beef and mutton, cheese industry has developed rapidly, cheese, milk powder, canned beef and mutton, etc. are excellent military supplies. "See? With the Australian continent in Japan, it is equivalent to having a stable and sustainable industrial machine tool, and everything can be created in a steady stream. It's not like the East Indians there. Dense, with only two or three million people in the entire 8 million square kilometers of Australia, it is possible to consolidate the occupation of this continent through immigration, which is not the same thing as driving the Indians to engage in industrial production! ”

Seeing that everyone was frowning and pondering, An Yi continued: "With the Japanese army already gaining a major advantage in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, if the Germans are allowed to win the Battle of Moscow again, then the power of the allies will be dealt a serious blow, and it may even destroy the confidence of the British in resistance!" Once the British disarm and surrender, then Europe will become Hitler's Europe, and both the United States and us will face the fate of isolation!

Therefore, from our standpoint, the Germans cannot win in any case! ”

Yin Jinan's face turned pale and muttered: "In this way, we won't provide them with the four million sets of cotton clothes that the German government urgently wants to buy?" ”

An Yi knew that Yin Jinan was concerned about chaos, and said earnestly:

"Jinan, although we don't want Germany to win, but we also don't want them to lose too badly, I know that Hitler called you, hoping to be able to use your good offices to let the German ** team get this batch of life-saving cotton clothes as soon as possible, but they don't come out with real money, why should we give them to them?"

Central Asia and the West Indies occupied by South China are the world's largest cotton producing areas, and Mumbai is the world's largest cotton textile industry center city, four million sets of cotton clothes are not much for South China, which has long been prepared, the problem is that Hitler is used to arrogance, although the German army is now facing a huge crisis, he still refuses to put down the shelf, and even wants to buy this batch of life-saving munitions at the usual price.

As early as the middle of the year, An Yi instructed the mass production of cotton clothes, in order to make a big profit in the Battle of Moscow, Hitler was so unreasonable, naturally the deal could not be negotiated, and the trade representatives of the two sides are still in a stalemate in Mumbai. Seeing that the goal could not be achieved, Hitler tried to match it through Yin Jinan in order to save face, but Hitler did not pay more gold, and did not want An Yi to let go.

Gu Changfeng, who was sitting next to Yin Jinan, was a little surprised: "It turns out that it's not that we don't sell, but that Hitler is unwilling to buy it with money?" Does he think we're a welfare agency? ”

An Yi shook his head and explained: "It's not that the Germans don't give money, but they give less!" For Germany, this is what saved their fate and simply cannot be measured in terms of the value of ordinary commodities...... In the final analysis, it was the smooth sailing of Germany since the start of the war, and successive victories fostered Hitler's arrogant character! In fact, we have trade with Germany, which is already very face-saving for him, otherwise he would have taken the money, and no one would have sold so many cotton clothes to them! ”

"The chairman is right!"

Chang Baofang, Minister of General Logistics, stood up: "Nowadays, not only the Germans are in urgent need of cotton clothes, but also the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States also need winter clothes!" Especially in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union did not have cotton-producing land in Central Asia, and the traditional cotton-producing areas in Europe, such as Ukraine, the Don River and Belarus, were all destroyed by the war.

"Britain has successively lost cotton-producing areas such as India, the Middle East and Australia, and now South Africa is also in the midst of war, and the supply of cotton is basically cut off, so we can only rely on outsourcing to come to Vitte! The problem in the United States is that the continuous expansion of the army has led to a tight supply of military uniforms, although their cotton production has been fully converted to the military, but it is still unable to meet the production of winter clothes. Therefore, our cotton clothes are not worried about sales, and who to sell them to mainly depends on strategic needs! ”

Yin Jinan nodded again and again: "Leave this matter to me!" It is estimated that Hitler's Führer has not yet realized what awaits him, and I will personally fly to Berlin to convince him of repentance...... Last time he ordered the return of Chinese cultural relics, and now the Chinese cultural relics stolen by Germany and France have basically entered our warehouses, and I don't think it is too much to thank him on behalf of the Republic of South China! ”

"Okay!"

An Yi didn't insist, and said: "Ji Nan" You are no longer a military attache in Germany, but the highest military and political chief in the northern region of the Republic of South China, you know what to say and what not to say...... But I think with Hitler's paranoia, even if you tell him that the situation is dangerous, he may not be able to listen to it......" "Big brother ...... one by one"

Yin Jinan looked straight at An Yi, his face was full of determination: "I know what to do, I won't betray the country for glory!" In fact, I also understand that the root of Germany's sinking into the Soviet-German war lies in Hitler's policy of national cleansing, and I heard that when the German army first entered the territory of the Soviet Union, whether it was the Baltic states, Poland, Belarus and Ukraine, everywhere it went, the people enthusiastically welcomed it.

"But what did the Germans give them? It was the burning, killing and looting, the concentration camps, the serfs of the farms stolen by the Junker aristocracy, the free laborers who built railways and highways! As a result, from the Soviet-German border to the city of Moscow, there are partisans everywhere, and the transport and supply lines in the rear are constantly threatened, and defeat looms!

"I want to make one point: everything in Germany now is based on successive victories of its army, and if it suffers a terrible crushing defeat under the counterattack of the Soviet army, Hitler is likely to be abandoned by the military, and the huge German Third Reich may collapse in an instant like Napoleon's empire...... "Germany is losing too quickly, and it is obviously not in our interests!" Don't worry, big brother, I know what to do to our advantage, and I will try to make a situation that is beneficial to both parties! ”

"I believe in you!"

An Yi smiled encouragingly: "Ji Nan, do what you think...... Actually, now I am also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and I don't know what to do is right!" By the way, I would like to report one more situation here: According to reliable information, after the Japanese army occupies Australia, it is very likely that it will adjust its troop deployment and launch an offensive against the US mainland, and its heavy forces will be gradually transferred to the northeast and the Far East to wait for an opportunity to launch an attack on the Alaska region of the United States. If we rush to confront it, we will face an unprecedented and tragic war!

"Therefore, my view is that after winning the war in Malaya, Burma, and the East Indies in the next month or two, our work will focus on carrying out land reform in these areas, solving the problem of food and clothing for the people, and then eliminating ethnic contradictions, and we will strive to restore the original factory strength in these areas in two to three years, and develop a number of military industrial enterprises to consolidate our rule over these areas!

"All in all, before the Japanese army launches an attack on the American mainland, it is not appropriate for us to recover the Far East and Northeast and prevent disasters for the Americans! After the Japanese army advances eastward, we will consider drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle and sending troops to the Far East and Northeast to lay the foundation of our strength in one fell swoop! ”

No one doubts An Yi's intelligence sources, and everyone knows how accurate An Yi's judgment of the international situation is. Moreover, in this short period of more than a month, Nanhua's strategic reserves have almost been exhausted, and it really needs a period of time to recover, so the meeting unified its thinking in a very short time.
