Seven days later, the 1st Squadron arrived at the scheduled location on time and successfully completed the training mission. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In Li Yunpeng's field notes, such a set of numbers is recorded: "125 people traveled 100 kilometers and lasted 7 days and 7 nights. On the way, 135 snakes were captured, more than 2,100 earthworms were dug up, 2,220 ant nests were caught, 515 slingshot birds were hunted, 82 hares were hunted, 225 kilograms of wild vegetables were eaten, and wild boars were encountered 3 times......"

Ma Zheng is very satisfied with the results of the training in this half month, although the soldiers of this era are far inferior to those special forces of later generations in terms of military quality and physical fitness, especially in terms of cultural level, they cannot meet the requirements of special forces, and the weapons and equipment of special forces in this era are also very poor, and they cannot reach the guys used by those special forces in 70 years later.

But every soldier of this era has a quality that later generations of soldiers do not have, that is, blood. The soldiers of this era know what they are fighting for, and they all have their own goals and clear enemies.

However, the soldiers of later generations do not necessarily know their enemies, and if they do not know their enemies, they will not have too much pressure, so these snipers who participate in the training wear their heads to the waistband of their pants during training, which is not as good as the special forces of later generations have such good protective measures.

In particular, the special combat personnel who participated in the intensive training of the combat group had frequent accidents while marching on the cliff and training on cliff climbing, and they were injured at least and even lost their lives here. So when the sniper team arrived at the predetermined location after a rapid march of 7 days and 7 nights, Ma Zheng showed a rare smile and instructed the cooking squad to cook a delicious meal for several squadrons participating in the training.

However, it is a pity that Ma Zheng was not able to lead the sniper team in the future training subjects, because he received an urgent telegram from the headquarters of the military region, saying that the military region had something to do and asked him to return to Guisui immediately.

Although he didn't know what the specific matter was, Ma Zheng knew that it must be urgent, otherwise those senior cadres of the military region headquarters would not have asked him to go back in such a hurry.

Fortunately, the intensive training has entered the formalization, and the training syllabus has been issued to Tie Niu and others, so his absence will no longer affect the training of the troops. Later, Ma Zheng handed over the training to Tie Niu and others to deal with by himself, and he himself brought a special operations team to quickly return to Guisui.

After returning to Guisui, Ma Zheng learned that he was in such a hurry to come back because the negotiations between the United States and Japan seemed to have come to an end, and although the two countries had done a good job of secrecy measures in this matter, they still could not escape the investigation of the agents of the Military Control Bureau.

After all, there is no basis for negotiations between the United States and Japan and China, let alone the need for negotiations.

However, it was expected that Ma Zheng was still very excited when this day came, because he knew that after the failure of the daily negotiations, Japan finally exposed its crazy nature and soon took a crucial step towards its demise.

In fact, it is true that the US-Japan negotiations failed after more than two months of arguing, while Japan took a fateful step after a long debate -- invading French Indochina.

After arguing with the United States for more than two months, Japan finally realized that the peace talks were not as easy as they imagined, and the attitude of the Americans gradually became tougher, which directly led to the loss of confidence in the US-Japan peace talks at the top level of Japan.

As a matter of fact, Japanese Foreign Minister Matsuoka, who was in charge of the negotiations, had no confidence in the peace talks from the very beginning, and as Japan's foreign minister, Matsuoka was well aware of the foreign policy and basic national policies that Japan has pursued in recent decades or even in the past 100 years. It can be said that in the process of the formation and rise of Japanese imperialism. From Emperor Meiji to Emperor Taisho to Emperor Hirohito, who is now in power, the idea of imperialism has been implanted in the minds of all the people from the very beginning.

In all the propaganda of the Empire of Japan, the "Imperial State" not only annexed China and Korea, but also ruled Southeast Asia, and this was all over the streets of Japan.

In recent years, the upper echelons of the empire have made great efforts to preach the seizure of the rich resources of the South Seas to ensure future expansion into Chinese mainland. Moreover, this policy has been secretly implemented since the early 30s, and Japan has begun to carry out economic and political infiltration into Southeast Asia while launching a war of aggression against China.

In August of Showa 11, the Hirota Hiroki cabinet made expansion and development in the southern seas as one of the basic national policies in Japan's "National Policy Standards". In July of Showa 15, the Konoe Cabinet proposed an expansion policy to establish a "Greater East Asia New Order" and clearly proposed an expansion plan for the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".

The plan included not only occupied Korea and the invading China, but also the whole of Southeast Asia, as well as India, Australia, New Zealand, and the islands of the southwest Pacific. In this aggressive plan. Occupying Southeast Asia and dominating the Southwest Pacific is a key link.

In the face of such a systematic national policy that has been implemented more or less explicitly or covertly for decades, even if the top level of the empire wants to make adjustments, it is by no means possible to adjust them in three or two days, and the vast majority of people in the country do not approve of such adjustments, so the US-Japan peace talks are simply a farce, at least Foreign Minister Matsuoka thinks so.

There is another important reason why Japan has lost confidence in the US-Japan peace talks. That is the change in the attitude of the United States. With the strengthening of the wartime system of the United States, on the one hand, it strengthened its aid to Britain in Europe, and on the other hand, it continued to implement the policy of aiding Chiang in the Far East.

On the 28th of last month, President Roosevelt made a speech on an important occasion, proposing that the United States could lend arms, and illustrated it with a vivid metaphor: "Suppose my neighbor is on fire, I can only lend him the water hose to extinguish the fire." He should not be asked to pay for this hose in advance, and then return the original goods to his neighbors when the fire is extinguished. At the same time, Roosevelt deliberately emphasized: "America must become the arsenal of democracies." ”

In view of the growing threat of Nazi Germany's aggressive expansion, the US Congress is deliberating on an important bill to provide assistance to anti-fascist countries. After the German invasion of Western Europe, the Roosevelt administration decided to increase its assistance to Britain, which was in a difficult and financially constrained situation, in order to consider and expand its sphere of influence for the sake of America's own security defense system and to establish the United States' leadership in the postwar world.

At the same time, the US Government dispatched a special envoy to Chongqing to discuss specific matters related to China's aid.

In addition, since Japan mediated the Far East crisis in which the dispute between French Indochina and Thailand was mediated, the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, France, and other countries, in addition to making efforts to strengthen the war preparedness of various southern regions, have repeatedly held joint military operations meetings in Manila, Singapore, and other places.

The so-called ABCD refers to the encirclement of Japan by the United States, Britain, China, and the Netherlands.

Don't look at the fact that China has been beaten half to death by Japan, and it is difficult to launch a large-scale counterattack, but China's resistance is still very meaningful, at least the elite forces of millions of Japanese troops have been contained in the Chinese battlefield. Under these circumstances, once the United States and Britain, with their powerful naval forces, and the Netherlands, with its large oil and gas resources, are united, Japan's situation will be at its most dangerous moment in nearly a century.

At the same time, Japan also received information that there were secret forces in French Indochina and Thailand plotting anti-Japanese conspiracies, and this would put Japan's position in danger of being overthrown after mediating the dispute.

In order to ensure that Japan's interests in French Indochina and Thailand would not be harmed, the Japanese government and military decided to immediately carry out limited strikes against these two places. The French colonial authorities were forced to recognize the right to garrison Japanese troops and to have control over the Haiphong airfield and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway. (To be continued.) )
