New York, USA. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After continuous negotiations with the U.S. government, New York State sold the central and eastern parts of Long Island and the nearby waters of Little Neck, Manhasit Bay, Oyster Bay, Henyanton Bay, Smith Bay, and Little Piconic Bay to a Chinese consortium for "commercial development" for $200 million.

After the completion of the deal, the U.S. government publicized this in the media as the confidence of the Chinese people in the prospects of the United States, and immediately stabilized the panic flight psychology of the people in the major eastern core cities after the frequent air raids by the Japanese air force.

Speaking of which, the US government is also quite at a loss this time, because the Long Island area covers an area of more than 4,300 square kilometers, and there are excellent ports including the port of Washington, Port Jefferson, and Riverhead, which are now packaged and sold at very low prices for political and military needs.

At six o'clock in the morning, a terrible air raid siren suddenly sounded in the New York city.

Due to the recent Japanese reconnaissance planes, which have frequently flown over New York to conduct reconnaissance, most New Yorkers have become accustomed to the sound of air raid sirens, and if it is said that once or twice New Yorkers still panicked and ran to the subway or nearby air raid shelters, but over time, people have become numb, and most people still have to do what they should do when the air raid sirens sound.

It was a winter morning, most people were still asleep, the air raid sirens sounded, sleepy-eyed people closed their windows in disgust to block out the noise, looked at the time, adults got up, dressed, washed and made breakfast, children covered their heads with quilts and continued to sleep, only a few families dragged their children out into the streets, looked up to watch the movement, and decided whether to hide from the air defense.

When the sound of "buzzing" came from the sky above the city, people were surprised to see many black shadows advancing in a neat formation in the dawn light, throwing strings of black round things under their butts.

"Boom-"

The sound of violent explosions, first heard from Manhattan, the financial and commercial center of the New York City area, spread as the explosions spread, and one could see that the flames were increasing and expanding in the successive explosions......

It didn't take long for the five boroughs of Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Richmond and West New York to quickly fall into a violent explosion.

Dozens of meters high fire, as well as black smoke soaring into the sky, rose all over the city, the whole city was instantly shrouded in fireworks, the explosion of large-caliber aerial bombs, causing the earth to tremble violently, all parts of the city as if experiencing a continuous four or five magnitude earthquake, people are afraid.

Vehicles driving on the street in the early morning were shocked by what they saw, and drivers pulled over to the side of the road and fled to nearby air-raid shelters.

Amid the sound of explosions one after another, incendiary bombs and napalm were thrown from the sky by bombers, and raging fires broke out in many places.

The indiscriminate bombing of Japanese bombers was unprecedented in scale, and even the most sluggish people knew that if they did not dodge, they might go to God at any time, and it was only at this time that the unresponsive US air defense department sent propaganda vehicles to go deep into every street and use loudspeakers to guide the people to enter the nearest bomb shelters and subway stations to avoid the bombing.

A large number of New Yorkers, like frightened beasts, panicked and rushed around, and the whole city was completely out of control.

More than 400 B-29 bombers that copied American technology dropped more than 20,000 aerial bombs on this prosperous city in more than half an hour, and the port area, industrial area, and commercial area all became the objects of key attention.

Sixteen shipyards, eight oil depots, six arms companies, two steel plants, five automobile factories, two thermal power plants and water plants in and around the port of New York were seriously damaged, six of the bridges connecting Manhattan and Long Island were blown up, two were seriously injured, and the rest were also damaged to varying degrees.

In the bombing, more than a dozen hospitals of various sizes were bombed, causing heavy losses to facilities and medical personnel, which seriously affected the treatment of injured citizens in hospitals.

When the Japanese bomber group bombed, the US fighter group stationed near New York took to the air to intercept it, and the cruisers and destroyers anchored in New York Harbor also used their own anti-aircraft guns to fire at the air, but the Japanese bomber group strictly adhered to the tactics of group air defense, and although in the end more than 40 B29 bombers were shot down and remained in New York forever, its tremendous deterrent effect was obvious.

Water and electricity outages, and transportation disruptions began to cause panic exodus in New York, where people were no longer afraid to stay in the big cities and moved to the countryside.

......

When New York was hit by an air raid, Stony Creek in the eastern part of Long Island, more than 80 kilometers away from the main city, was still quiet at the moment.

Stony Brook is adjacent to the later Port Jefferson and Stony Brook towns, which was later the site of Stony Brook University, but at this time it was still a relatively remote village, a villa area hidden in the green trees, red walls and green tiles, very rich in Chinese characteristics, this is one of the apartments of Lin Xiaotong and Lin Xiaoran sisters on Long Island.

When the sky was breaking, the Lin sisters and the baby were still asleep, and the door of the small conference room in the main building of the villa area was closed, and thick curtains separated the inside and outside of the house.

In the brightly lit space, the leaders of the Chinese American consortium, who had stayed up all night, relied on smoking to refresh themselves and continued to discuss how to allocate the 17th Army to the Chinese by the US government and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

By now, the meeting, which began at 10 o'clock last night, had been going on for eight hours, and the basic rules had been decided.

Unlike other countries, the US military level is a strategic unit, and almost every military unit has a few to more than 10 divisions under its jurisdiction, and it can completely undertake operations on one front on its own.

According to the suggestion of the US High Command, the more than 6 million Chinese in the United States can be organized into no less than five divisions of armored and infantry units for use in the war against Japan, and the Chinese can appoint officers at all levels on their own, train themselves, and maintain their structure after the war, but at the cost of being loyal to the United States of America and obeying the unified command and dispatch of the president, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the War Department.

There is no profit and it is not early, so people will naturally have to pay the price for their hard work. After consulting with the Chinese consortium, the major political forces in the United States promised that as long as the Chinese army fought bravely and skillfully and drove the Japanese army out of the North American continent in one fell swoop, the Chinese would have the same political and economic rights as the white race after the war, and would have fixed seats in parliamentary and government elections.

Before that, due to the existence of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Chinese were in a difficult situation and did not have a high status in society, and most of the few Chinese leaders such as Situ Meitang and Huang Sande had a community background and were not strong in economic strength.

With the victory of the Second Northern Expedition, Zhang Xi was ordered by An Yi to go to the United States to open up the market, and the Chinese were truly a political and economic force, officially stepping onto the big stage of American society and coming to the front of the stage from behind the scenes.

The history of the fortunes of European and American countries is full of blood.

In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch slaughtered more than 23 million natives, wantonly robbed the wealth and land of the Americas, openly sold and enslaved black slaves, and the British were not to be outdone, and after defeating the Dutch, they also began to smuggle and sell black slaves on a large scale, forcibly selling opium in China with giant ships and cannons, colonizing India, wielding butcher knives against natives in Africa and Australia, and in Australia alone, the British killed nearly a million aborigines, while the emerging United States in order to obtain land, Almost tens of millions of Indians were slaughtered, and the crimes here are innumerable, and the rise of the Chinese consortium inevitably carries a strong bloody atmosphere.

Before and after the outbreak of the economic crisis, Zhang Xi led the economic team to make a fortune by operating stocks and futures, and with the help of the Eurasian consortium, which had opened factories in Southeast Asia and was world-renowned for its patent rights to the best anti-inflammatory drug sulfonamide at that time, he got involved in finance and industry.

Around this time, Lin Xudong and Ma Zhiyuan also entered the United States under An Yi's instructions, secretly established the Huaqing Society in Chinatown on the West Coast, and began to expand rapidly underground. With the support of high-quality veterans provided by An Jiajun, as well as the care of Ou Yaoting and Zhang Xi in the Ming Dynasty, the Huaqing Society swept away the Irish and Italian gangsters entrenched in the western United States with the autumn wind, monopolized the lucrative smuggling and drug trafficking channels, gradually completed the primitive accumulation of capital, and began to enter the real estate, finance, mining, media and manufacturing industries, and a huge Chinese consortium came into being.

In the past 10 years, although the Chinese consortium with assets of more than 10 million US dollars has grown to more than 40 and controls more than 9,000 factories and enterprises, most of these consortiums are controlled by Zhang Xi, Ou Yaoting, Huaqingshe, An Liangtang, Zhigongtang and Xieshengtang, and there are only more than 10 consortiums that have developed by relying on business acumen, and their economic strength and influence are very small.

In view of the size of the voice in this army completely controlled by the Chinese, which will directly affect the distribution of interests of various consortia after the war and the political and economic status in American society, the competition between several major forces in this meeting is very fierce, but because professional military talents are only available to the Huaqing Society, and at the same time, the Lin sisters, the veterans and directors of the Huaqing Society, are still the wives of An Yi, the president of South China, so the final winner is still the Huaqing Society.

At the meeting, it was decided that in the next six months, five divisions of troops, including two armored divisions and three infantry divisions, and the noncommissioned officers and officers of the grass-roots units of the troops would be secretly dispatched by the South Chinese side, because only professional soldiers can train qualified soldiers, and no one has an opinion on this point.

After the formal formation of the troops, the middle- and high-ranking military commanders will be the sons of Chinese living in the United States, but they must undergo a six-month training in professional military skills from instructors dispatched by the Anjia Army at the temporary military academy, and each department will be equipped with a professional staff team, and the post of political commissar with South Chinese characteristics will also be set up during operations to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The Chinese Consortium will also set up five divisions of reserve troops in the Long Island area, which will receive rigorous training in the name of the security force in peacetime, and will be drawn from the reserve force in the event of casualties on the front line.

In addition, in order to maintain close ties with South China, the Chinese consortium will spend huge sums of money to build a number of ports and submarine bases on Long Island that can berth 10,000-ton warships and cargo ships, and at the same time build a number of high-standard airports in East Hampton, Calverton, Shirley, Holbrook and other places that can take off and land large transport planes, so as to facilitate air transportation, and provide direct support from the South China airlift troops at critical moments.

At the end of the meeting, Ma Zhiyuan spoke on behalf of An Yi: "Ladies and gentlemen, while the meeting was in progress, I received a telegram from my old commander, Chairman An Yi. He told us that the difficulties faced by the An Jiajun were temporary, and that he was very confident that he would defeat the German army, resolve the war on the Western Front as soon as possible, and then take Ceylon and Madagascar, so as to completely secure the Indian Ocean and Atlantic routes.

"The quality and quantity of warships that Nanhua now has definitely exceeds everyone's imagination, and once our naval formation officially sets out, it will definitely bring a huge shock to the world...... All of us here have experienced the history of humiliation of the motherland, so we must cherish the opportunity brought by this war to change the destiny of our nation!

"The United States is the most powerful industrial country in the world, and the American nation was once the most likely to reach the top of the world, but now that it is sick, we must take advantage of its illness to take firm root and develop in its body, and at the same time through the development of the United States, to feed back the country, and promote the industrial and scientific and technological progress of our country.

"Chairman An also told us, don't look at the current Germany and Japan are acting crazy on all fronts, but in fact their expansion has reached the limit, Germany and Japan have the same problem, that is, the population is small but the front is too open, those puppet armies that were attached when the two countries were strong can naturally show strong combat effectiveness under the stimulation of the news of the victories of the German army and the Japanese army, but as long as the two countries show a little defeat, they have to consider their own retreat, and may even fall into the ground! The final victory will be ours, there is no doubt about it!

"Chairman An asked us to guard against arrogance and rashness, and develop our strength in a down-to-earth manner, because in the post-war United States, the political forces of all parties will inevitably reshuffle, and we Chinese must also make our voices heard in the American political arena, saying that not necessarily the first Chinese president in the history of the United States will appear among us. Let's work together! ”

Everyone at the meeting knew that Ma Zhiyuan used to be An Yi's guard, and like Lin Xudong, he was an alternate member of the Central Committee of the South China National Democratic Party, and was An Yi's absolute confidant.
