Chapter 1732 The wind and clouds change color

When the war in Europe was raging, An Yi did not sit in the Xinjing base camp, but ran to the next company. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

From mid-May to early August, from southern Sichuan to South China, then to China, Central Asia, and finally to Afghanistan, An Yi spent three months to go to the various regiments of the Anjia Army, during which he ate and lived with the soldiers, trained together, played football, played basketball and chatted, understood the first-hand situation of the troops, went deep into the inner world of the soldiers, cared about the changes in their hometowns, and found various problems in urban and rural areas in a timely manner, and instructed relevant departments to correct them in a timely manner.

As far as An Yi's three-month personal experience is concerned, the morale of the troops is now high, the sense of seeking war is very strong, they are full of enthusiasm for the country and the nation, and they love An Yi, the supreme commander of the An Jiajun, and the situation is even better than imagined. There are only a few reasons for this.

After entering the 39th year, in the area under its control, except for the collective farms that occupied 10 percent of the total land, the rest of the land was divided equally among households, and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes including land taxes (agricultural tax), housing tax, fishery tax, forest tax, field grain, levy and loan fees, defense fees, road construction fees, slaughter donations, cattle donations, temple donations, and dung donations were abolished, so that the peasants, who accounted for 80 percent of the total population, could get benefits. Although An Yi has repeatedly urged the local government and the military management committee to correct this superstition and behavior in a timely manner, the majority of farmers still go their own way, and in the end they have to let it go.

In addition to military training and the study of cultural and popular science knowledge, the peasants have spared no effort in building farmland and water conservancy facilities in their hometowns and building bridges and paving roads. Especially after the conscription order of the Anjia Army was issued, every household enthusiastically joined the army, providing a steady stream of high-quality soldiers for the Anjia army. According to preliminary estimates, the number of militia and reserve forces has exceeded 15 million as a large number of migrants from China continue to enter areas controlled by the Anjia Army, and the number of troops could explode at any time.

In terms of basic education, Nanhua, southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan, Central Asia, and its allies Xiangxi, Qianxi, and Yunnan are now under the control of the An Jiajun, and have completely universalized compulsory education for four years of primary school and two years of junior high school. In addition, literacy classes and popular science classes are regularly held in rural areas, and skill training schools for workers have been set up in county towns.

In the area of medical and public health and welfare, health centers have been set up in towns and villages in areas controlled by the Anjia Army, county hospitals with a full range of departments have been set up in county seats, city hospitals with more detailed outpatient divisions have been set up, provincial hospitals with the most advanced medical facilities have been built in municipalities directly under the Central Government and provincial capitals, and the military has also set up special field and military district hospitals, thus ensuring that the people can seek medical treatment at the nearest hospital anytime and anywhere.

In order to ensure that the elderly are provided for and that the sick have access to medical treatment, the areas controlled by the Anjia Army have followed the example of Germany and implemented a relatively complete medical and social security system. In areas controlled by the An Jiajun, the medical and social security expenses of the peasants are jointly borne by the state treasury and the collective enterprises that are being built in the rural areas, the insurance premiums of workers, salesmen, and other employees are shared equally between the enterprises and the employees, and the industrial and commercial and disability insurance is fully paid by the enterprises.

Some people may ask, this is a huge financial expenditure, plus military expenditure, where did Anyi Group get so much money to complete all this? This is because the financial and financial management departments in the areas controlled by the Anjia Army are following the example of Nazi Germany and establishing a currency issuance policy that is different from that of Britain, France, and the United States.

The funds raised by the bonds issued by Nanhua abroad are mainly used to purchase foreign machinery and equipment and raw materials, and do not enter the domestic financial system, and the issuance of Huayuan is mainly based on production and materials, rather than gold and silver as the currency standard, although the two can be exchanged, but gold and silver are not allowed to be exported abroad.

A large amount of arms and materials sold by the Anjia Army, and a large amount of pounds sterling and US dollars that were repatriated, were directly deposited into the South China Bank's sister banks in Europe and the Americas, while gold and silver were transported back to China by special transport planes, and foreigners entering the country had to be exchanged for Chinese dollars, so as to ensure the absolute authority of the Chinese yuan in the areas controlled by the Anjia Army, and at the same time to help stabilize the value of the Chinese dollar.

In the areas controlled by the Anjia Army, all foreign exchange transactions were prohibited, and the people could only unilaterally exchange foreign currency against the Chinese dollar in the bank, and when there were manpower and materials for production, the central bank would issue the corresponding Chinese dollar banknotes, instead of borrowing from Britain and the United States and other countries, that is, South China controlled the right to create goods. At the same time, the government has set up a special price supervision agency, once it is found that someone is hoarding and inflating prices, once the court convicts him, what awaits him will be the doom of direct shooting, which makes the value of the Chinese dollar have been strong.

So far, due to the abundance of goods in the market, although Nanhua has issued 20 billion Chinese dollars, there has been no inflation. Chinese people like to save money, as long as the regime is stable, there is sufficient material supply on the market, with excess money, Chinese usually do not consider consumption, but like to put it into the national bank, share the interest provided by the state, so the currency on the market still only maintains a certain amount of circulation, and has not caused a greater impact on the commodity market, but these returned funds, and quickly pay salaries to teachers, nurses, doctors, workers, soldiers and state workers, into all aspects of national economic construction and military production, Finally, the bank checkout becomes a string of virtual numbers.

In the areas controlled by the Anjia Army, due to the trade with Britain and France, as well as the withdrawal of a large number of precious metals from smuggling, money laundering, counterfeit money, etc., the amount of gold and silver in the bank has increased rapidly, and the country's credit has been strong. The value of the Chinese dollar has risen to the current 1 US dollar to 7.9 US dollars, and this appreciation alone has basically offset the annual interest rate of bonds issued in the United States, if the war continues, as gold and silver continue to flow to South China, and at the same time, Britain and France and other countries owe South China high debts, the appreciation of the Chinese dollar will continue until the end of the war.

Therefore, from some aspects, the current Nanhua is not short of money, as long as there are manpower and materials for production, the corresponding Chinese dollars will be issued to meet the market demand. It was in this context that the infrastructure construction and educational, medical and welfare systems in South China were constantly improving, which in turn stimulated the increase in the total economic output of the areas controlled by the An Jiajun, allowing the issuance of the Chinese dollar to continue to expand and the value of the currency to continue to appreciate.

By the time An Yi returned to Xinjing on 1 August, the international situation had already undergone major changes, and the battlefields in Europe, Africa, and Asia had all appeared in favor of the Axis powers.

On 10 May, Germany bombed airfields in France and Belgium, achieving unusually heavy results.

Since 10 to 15 percent of the pilots of the French Air Force were on annual leave that day, the rest of the pilots either went to the military theater to watch a play or to the cinema the night before to watch the latest European and American films, and many of them were fooling around with glamorous strippers and singers in bars and cafes, and the airport was empty in the morning.

Only with the commander of the front-line air force of the French First Army, De. Pull. For example, of the 540 warplanes parked at various airfields, 487 were destroyed, 28 were wounded, and only 25 escaped, which was almost catastrophic for the French Air Force.

The French also had big problems with the use of the Air Force.

When the planes coming in from the rear tried to suppress the offensive of the German ground forces, they were strictly forbidden by the higher authorities to bomb the German troops passing through the Belgian and Luxembourg fronts in dense formations, and later ordered not to bomb "populated areas" "under any circumstances", as this would lead to accidental injury to civilians. But at this very time, the Luftwaffe was intensively bombing towns in Belgium and Luxembourg.

Due to the huge losses suffered by the air force at the beginning of the war, the ground forces of the British and French forces were extremely contemptuous of the British and French air forces, claiming that they had never seen the fighters of the air force, and that there was no trace of the French air force in the sky at the critical moment when the ground troops were bitten by the indiscriminate bombing of German murderous fighters.

On May 11, von v. General Bauk's Army Group B, which quickly crossed the Maas River in the Maastricht area and advanced to the first line of Belgian defence along the heavily fortified Albert Canal, a large strategic cluster that lured Allied reinforcements into the Brussels region of central Belgium in the belief that the German offensive would be the same as that of Kluk's army in 1914.

Caught off guard, the Allied forces were slow to assemble and depart, many troops were stationed far south of the Franco-Belgian border, and many divisions were forced to be broken into pieces, some by trucks by road, others by rail, and others on foot.

On 16 May, the battle took a dramatic turn, when the main German forces suddenly appeared south of Sedan and crossed the Meuse River and successfully established a bridgehead, overwhelming the French Ninth Army's defensive line with an unstoppable momentum and breaking into French territory in one fell swoop.

On May 19, French Prime Minister Paul. Renault replaced the cowardly and incompetent commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Ganmerin, with the seventy-three-year-old General Weygand, and appointed the eighty-four-year-old Marshal Petain as French deputy prime minister and vice-president of the National Military Council.

On 20 May, the Germans successfully reached Abwey, and on the 23rd, Guderian's armored group reached the English Channel, formally cutting off the communication of the British Expeditionary Force and the French and Belgian forces of the British army to the south, and the Allies were surrounded in the triangle centered on Dunkirk between Graflin and Newport on the English Channel coast.

In order to prevent the catastrophe caused by this encirclement, the Allied commander-in-chief, Weygand, planned a counteroffensive by the British Expeditionary Force and the French First Army in the Arras to Douai defense area to the south, in order to coordinate the offensive of the British and French forces south of the Somm River to the north. However, the continued German offensive undermined this plan, and on 24 and 25 May, the Belgian army retreated south under repeated German attacks, surrendering at midnight on 27 May, 24 hours after the surrender of the defenders of Calais, leaving the Allied left flank without cover.

On 26 May, Lord Gott, who was in command of the Allied forces, and General Ranchard decided to retreat behind the anti-tank barrier of the River Rees along the coast.

On the British side, as early as 10 May, when Germany launched an attack on France, Neville Chamberlain, the representative of appeasementism, stepped down in sorrow, and Churchill, the secretary of the admiralty, who had always advocated being tough on Germany, became British prime minister; at the same time, Churchill also held the posts of leader of the House of Commons, secretary of state of defense, and chairman of the National Defense Committee, and held the supreme command of Britain, and was the veritable supreme commander of the three armed services in Britain during the war.

Churchill knew the importance of the British and French forces remaining in the German encirclement to defend the British mainland, and while ordering the Royal Army to prepare for the rescue, and at the same time firing smoke bombs at the German government through the neutral Netherlands, Britain was willing to enter into peace negotiations with Germany.

Seeing that Churchill, a dead fat man, took the initiative to sue for peace, Hitler, who was carried away by victory, really fell into the plan, although Heydrich persuaded him that only by completely destroying the Anglo-French forces surrounded in the Dunkirk area could he force the British government, which lacked the troops to defend the homeland, to sit back at the negotiating table, but Hitler insisted that that this would stimulate the British, but would strengthen the British belief in resisting to the end, and the British and French troops surrounded in the Dunkirk area were good bargaining chips for negotiations. Unswervingly gave the order to the front-line troops, especially the armored ones, to stop the advance. In a fit of rage, Heydrich ran back to Germany to train his newly formed 5th SS Division and naval aviation in Norway.

The British intercepted the telegram sent by the German High Command to the front, and successfully deciphered the contents, which made Churchill overjoyed, and immediately instructed the implementation of the "engine plan", and the British government sent a fleet of more than 860 ships of various types and powers, ranging from cruisers, destroyers to small sailing ships, all concentrated in Dunkirk, and on May 27 7,669 were evacuated, the next day 17,804, the third day 47,310, and the fourth day 53,823.

It was only by this time that the German High Command understood what was happening, but after four days of adjustment, the Coalition forces had built a relatively strong defensive line, and at the same time, the armored forces that the Germans were proud of, were too far from Dunkirk to pose a direct threat to the Coalition forces, and after the German ground forces resumed the offensive, the British defense line remained unmoved, no matter how much pressure was added to the pocket defensive positions.

Due to the bad weather, the superior German air force could not be used, and the army artillery fire did not cause much damage due to the special sandy terrain of the Dunkirk coast, and a large number of Allied soldiers fled back to Britain from the eyes of the Germans. On May 31, 68,000 men retreated, on June 1, 64,429, and on the night of June 2 to June 3, another 60,000 were evacuated, and by June 4, the 40,000 French troops in the rear of the palace chose to surrender to the Germans after the last bullet.

When An Yi received the news of the successful retreat of the Anglo-French troops from "Dunkirk" in the grass-roots company, he was greatly surprised, because in the intelligence sent back by the "Nail", it was stated that he had repeatedly explained to Heydrich the importance of leaving the Anglo-French troops on the European continent, and Heydrich also suggested to Hitler several times for this, but Hitler was like a demon, and insisted on letting the Anglo-French troops on the verge of collapse stand firm and retreat calmly.

However, after thinking about it repeatedly, An Yi found that the successful retreat of the British army was more beneficial to the current South China. Due to the rise of the Japanese army, the strength of the British navy has been extremely weakened, the Japanese army has almost controlled the Indian Ocean, and the Indian and Persian regions, which were originally the source of stable soldiers and materials for the British army, have also had major problems one after another.

Before the arrival of the rainy season in India, the left flank of the Japanese Burmese-Indian Front broke through the three major passes of Damgela, Herengejo and Hafron between Bengal and Assam, and successfully joined forces with the southward troops of the right flank army.

After the two armies met, the Japanese army cooperated with each other to fight and occupied the entire territory of Bengal and Assam in India in one fell swoop, and all important cities such as Chittagong, Dhaka and Kolkata fell under the control of the Japanese army.

If it weren't for the expected rainstorm that came as scheduled, the collapse of the British *** team was almost doomed.

In the West Indies, Sheng Shicai took advantage of the capture at Hydebara to occupy Karachi on May 10, gaining access to the largest port and industrial center city in West India. Karachi's industries include textiles, metal products, military industry, machinery, acid and alkali chemicals, food, rubber products, oil refineries, etc., as well as banks, insurance companies and securities companies.

On 25 May, after replenishing and reorganizing his troops, Sheng Shicai began to lead his troops to advance to central India, crossing the desert area between the Indus and Runi rivers, capturing Semdelhi on June 12 and Jodhpur on June 15, and by the end of July, Sheng Shicai's troops had swept through Rajasthan and Gujarat areas, Jaipur and Ahmedabad fell into the hands of Sheng Shicai, and Delhi and Mumbai were threatened by Sheng Shicai's army.

Returning to the European battlefield again, the successful retreat from Dunkirk saved Britain and Churchill's fate, but made Hitler lose face. This was the biggest mistake in Hitler's series of military and political decisions since the adventurous annexation of Austria, but fortunately, the performance of the German army in the subsequent French battlefield convinced Hitler that the British might change their minds if France was killed.

From 7 to 9 June, the German Fourth and Fifth Panzer Corps, spearheaded by Rommel's 7th Panzer Division, charged from Amiens to Rouen, defeating again the 10th Army, which had been hastily organized by the stragglers of the Ninth Army at Sedan, and the French were forced to retreat to the west bank of the Seine.

At this time, the French Ninth Army, including the British 51st Division, the Scottish Highland Division, was pinned down the coast north of Le Havre and was finally forced to surrender at Saint-Valerie on 12 June. A little further east, a new catastrophe occurred, and on 9 June two German Panzer Corps broke through the line of the Aisne held by the French Fourth and Sixth Armies between Redère and Soissons. On 11 June, Reims fell, and on the same day, the Germans reached Eriburg on the Marne.

As early as 10 June, the French government withdrew from Paris to Tours, and on 14 June to Bordeaux, on which the Germans marched into Paris without bloodshed. On 15 June, the German Sixth Army broke through the French Sixth Army line between Troyes and Sand, crossed the upper Loire the next day, and on the 17th, the city of Dijon fell.

Under the relentless pressure of the German army, the French army continued to retreat south and west, and on June 16, French Prime Minister Renaud resigned, and was replaced by Deputy Prime Minister Marshal Pétain, and on June 17, Petain asked the German army for an armistice, and the next day, the British troops remaining in France withdrew from Cherbourg and Saint-Nazaire.

Earlier, on June 10, Italy, eager to reap the dividends of the war, had declared war on a defeated France, a blow that quickly broke French morale. On 22 June, French delegates signed an armistice with Hitler at Le Tondes, near Compiègne.

At the same time, the Italian army had advanced to the French Alpine border, and the French army held their ground and repelled every attack of the Italian army, but this was no longer helpful to the tide of the war. On 24 June, France signed an armistice with Italy, and on 25 June, the Franco-German armistice came into force, and Marshal Pétain moved his government to Vessy.

In less than forty days, the German army shattered the myth of the first power of the French army, and the whole world was shocked by the terrible attack ability of the German army.

After Italy declared war on France, Mussolini believed that no force could prevent Italy from annexing the whole of Northeast Africa, including Egypt, Sudan, Uganda, Kenya and British Somalia into the Italian Empire, about 215,000 Italian troops under the command of Marshal Balpo were concentrated in Libya and Tripolitania, while the 220,000 troops under the command of Duke Asta were in Italian East Africa, sandwiched between these two strategic clusters by Jan. Christian. The 55,000-strong British army under the command of Marshal Shi at the end of history, and many of these 55,000 troops needed to be responsible for maintaining internal law and order in Egypt and Palestine, and could not be easily mobilized, so they could only rely on a British armored division, a British infantry division, and an Indian infantry division formed by the Gurkhas.

The Italian army can be said to be an extremely bad "noodle" army, with ten times the enemy's superiority in strength, but the British army carried out active operations, repeatedly crossed the Libyan and Abyssinian borders, and carried out surprise attacks on the Italian army, starting in July, the Italian army and the British army fought many battles, winning and losing each other, but the Italian army was never able to defeat the elastic defense of the British army, and the war in Northeast Africa was deadlocked.

After the German occupation of France, the national strength increased greatly, and new armies were constantly formed. Hitler planned Operation Sea Lion to destroy the British resistance, and at the same time planned an attack on the Balkans and the Middle East to gain access to oil from Libya and Persia.

......

On 2 August, in the conference hall of the Xuanwu Building of the Xiaonanhai Governance Hall, the joint meeting of the headquarters of the Anjia Army was held again.

Almost the same as the original team of the last meeting, this time there are more generals from the General Political Department and the General Logistics Department. The meeting first discussed the equipment and training of various units of the Anjia Army in the past three months, summed up the lessons and lessons, and found out the shortcomings, and then commented on and summed up the wars in Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Seeing that the German and Anglo-French allied forces were almost fighting in accordance with what An Yi showed at the last meeting, the participating generals were very proud, which fully shows that the strategy of the commanders and generals of the An Jia Army is not weaker than the German army, which has been praised as the world's strongest army, and every general of the An Jia Army believes that the training and weaponry level of the An Jia Army will definitely not be worse than that of the German *** team, in other words, even if the An Jia Army comes to this unprecedented scale of war, it will achieve the same victory, and everyone has a smile on their faces.

Towards the end of the meeting, Shen Fengdao strode into the room and whispered in An Yi's ear, An Yi heard a look of surprise on his face, announced that the meeting was presided over by Yang Fei, and left in a hurry.
