Walong, located at the southern foot of the Himalayas, where the mountains are high and densely forested, with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters, are full of cliffs, rivers are intertwined, and the water flow is turbulent, which is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Du Yuming's Fifth Army Headquarters was located here.

Because he had a fixed opinion in his heart, and the combat effectiveness of the troops was not inferior to that of the little devils, he was able to take his steps on the way from Burma to India, and basically did not suffer any losses.

Du Yuming knew that if it weren't for the words that Han Lihong gave him, the casualties of the troops would have been at least ten times more than the current ones.

After withdrawing into Burma, Du Yuming led the Fifth Army not to penetrate deep into India, but to the Assam region and then to the north, into southern Tibet.

It's condescending here, and if the little devil dares to come, it's looking for death.

His Fifth Army was encamped here, and he said that he had to leave at least two divisions in the Assam area.

Du Yuming, Sun Liren, and Dai Anlan stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, and the endless Great Plains of South Asia seemed to be faintly visible.

The agreement between the United States and Britain and the Black God Army has not yet been made public, and only a small range of people know that Du Yuming is one of these small people.

Du Yuming is well aware of the significance of this agreement.

Tibet has always been a destabilizing factor, but from the moment he stood here, Tibet was no longer a problem.

After the war, due to the occupation of the north of Myitkyina and the Assam region, it was possible to connect Assam, Myitkyina and Yunnan by road and rail, and in this way, Tibetan province became almost landlocked.

In the future, the central government's political axe will definitely be the heaven of Tibetan Province, and even if it completely ignores Tibetan Province, there will never be any problems.

What's more, after occupying Myitkyina and Assam, it can further influence, and even control, the South Asian continent.

"Alas......" Du Yuming sighed leisurely, it would be great if Principal Jiang's mind could be broadened!

Du Yuming is not only a soldier's talent, he can also see a lot of other things, he knows that after the war, the country will never be smooth sailing, maybe there will be many twists and turns.

"Well, if only this place belonged to us!" After a long time, Sun Liren sighed.

Southern Tibet is originally Chinese, and the Assam region has always existed since ancient times, until the British came to forcibly integrate the whole of South Asia into one place.

Indians are struggling with reading power, and once Indians gain reading power in today's territory, it will have a very significant impact on China's future.

Dai Anlan also said: "It may be troublesome in the future. ”

After a moment of silence, Du Yuming finally couldn't hold back, he said, "No trouble." ”

Sun Liren and Dai Anlan were stunned.

Du Yuming was not unhappy, he continued: "The Black God Army has reached an agreement with Britain and the United States, and north of Myitkyina, Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur are all ours. ”

Sun Liren and Dai Anlan were completely stunned.

After a long time, Dai Anlan asked with difficulty: "Junzao, is this true?" ”

Du Yuming nodded.

Sun Liren and Dai Anlan's faces became redder and redder.

"Ah......" Suddenly, looking at the ethereal heaven and earth, Dai Anlan roared.

"Ah......h

"Ah......h

followed, Du Yuming and Sun Liren also couldn't help but shout loudly.

-- The great drought in Henan.

The signs of a major drought began last year.

Summer and autumn were originally rainy seasons, but it didn't rain, and the whole day was like a blazing sun.

Han Lihong knew about the great drought in Henan in 42 years, which starved 3 million people to death, but he didn't know the specifics.

Han Lihong didn't take this drought to heart, because he had the bottom in his heart.

Henan Wufu is rich in people, and it has not been devastated by war for many years, and since the Black God Army entered Henan in 39, the total tax has been reduced by at least four layers, so the people are very solid.

Even urban residents have the habit of storing grain at home, and peasant families naturally have a year's worth of grain storage.

What's more, Henan established a standing liquidation system in 40 years, and because of Han Lihong's intervention, the scale of grain storage was very large, so Henan alone could smoothly tide over the drought.

The chairman of Henan Province is Shang Zhen.

When Henan returned to the Black God Army and Shang Zhen had no master, Han Lihong sent him an invitation.

Receiving Han Lihong's invitation, Shang Zhen was overjoyed.

Shang Zhen was given great power, so that he could give full play, two or three years later, Henan will be a great rule, Shinong industry and commerce, and all industries are prosperous.

At the end of last autumn, Shang Zhen reported that he was worried that there might be a major drought next year, and that Henan should make preparations as soon as possible, and the central government should also make some preparations.

Therefore, Han Lihong was very relieved.

However, no matter how rest assured, when the drought really comes, Han Lihong still has to come to Henan to have a look.

At the beginning of May, Han Lihong went to Henan and Huaxian County.

Henan is the granary of China, and Huaxian is the granary of Henan, when Han Lihong arrived in Huaxian, he had a creepy feeling.

The fields are dry and cracked, and when touched they turn into fine sand; It's May, and there is hardly much green grass on the ground, and green shoots have just sprouted from the branches.

In such a severe drought, although no one will go hungry, the common people are naturally extremely miserable.

Along the way, one tragedy after another passed through my mind: no one bought the child, a big girl couldn't exchange it for four buckets of rice, the child was eaten, and three million people starved to death...... Chairman Chiang did not believe in the slightest that there was a major disaster in Henan, and not a single grain of tax and grain could be missing, and Ta Kung Pao, which reported on the great drought in Henan, was suspended for three days...... It wasn't until four or three years ago that the great Chairman Chiang knew that a catastrophe had really occurred in Henan.

After looking around, even Han Lihong, a layman, knows that there is nothing to do, and this year will definitely be fruitless.

Although with his current strength, the drought in Henan is not a big problem, but seeing the expressions of the people, Han Lihong felt very uncomfortable.

Back in Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, Han Lihong immediately consulted with Shang Zhen.

Han Lihong went down to inspect, Shang Zhen didn't accompany him, Han Lihong didn't let him, not only did he not let Shang Zhen accompany him, but neither did anyone else, why should everyone continue to do it.

Shang Zhen had already drafted the charter, and after Han Lihong read it, he thought about it and said: "Chairman Shang, good people do it to the end, so let's do it, this year's peasants' taxes will be exempted, and no penny will be charged for anything related to agriculture." ”

Speaking of this, Han Lihong paused and continued, "As for the lost taxes in the province, I will make up fifty percent of your taxes. ”

When Shang Zhen heard this, he was overjoyed.

According to the charter he drafted, the tax collected will reach eighty percent, so the pressure on the provincial political axe will be very great, but now it is good, Han Lihong has opened his mouth and given an extra thirty percent of the tax.

Now the country's system is weird, and the system of the Black God Army is even stranger, Han Lihong has turned all the property that can be turned into his own name into his own private, at least legally.

Of course, Han Lihong is by no means a money fan.

In Shang Zhen's view, there are pros and cons to Han Lihong's doing this, the advantage is convenience, and the disadvantage may be troublesome in the future.

Han Lihong continued: "Every village drills an electromechanical well, and I also pay for this aspect, so I don't need to bear the burden of the province. ”

Another big problem solved.

The next day, Shang Zhen personally held a press conference and announced a series of policies.

First, all those involved in agriculture will be exempted from taxes this year.

Second, the political axe drilled an electromechanical well in every administrative village free of charge for drinking water for people and animals.

Third, the political axe ensures that food prices are stable, and the people do not listen to rumors.

Fourth, the political axe recruits laborers, at least one person per household, in charge of three meals, and a day's salary is five jiao.

Three yuan of dragon and phoenix coins is equivalent to a silver dollar, three meals are eaten for free, and there are fifteen yuan a month to take.

As soon as the news came out, the peasants went crazy, and the citizens in the city also laughed from ear to ear.

First of all, it is the stabilization of food prices, which is undoubtedly the most fatal.

Although the political axe has been stabilizing food prices, people are still panicking, and now that the political axe has said so, there will be no problems.

Second, if the political axe hires peasants who have nothing to do on a large scale, the wages of the people will not be lowered. If the political axe does not do this, then the salary of the low-level such as a restaurant will be reduced by at least 30%.

The next day, the news spread across the country.

In the whole country, all the county level has a branch of the Black God Newspaper.

In the past few months, the Black God newspaper has reported on the disaster situation in Henan one after another.

This time, when reporting on the policies introduced by the political axe of Henan Province, it also reported the news that the Black God Charity Fund launched a fundraiser.

On the front page, there are only eight big characters in bold font: If one party is in trouble, all sides will support!

Henan has set off another round of construction: dredging rivers, building water conservancy facilities, building highways, railways, factories, and ...... -- during the Spring Festival of 1942, the land of China was still happy and peaceful.

This year, the more unfortunate ones belonged to the common people of Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hong Kong, and in order to retaliate against the expeditionary force, the army carried out wanton and indiscriminate bombing of the area around Shanghai and Nanjing.

However, fortunately, this simple revenge surname bombing ended soon, because Yue Ben had no spare time, and the act of retaliating against the surname of the bombing of Shanghai and Nanjing was too extravagant, and Yue Ben could no longer afford it.

The war was increasingly unfavorable to the Axis powers.

In Asia, the turning point in the war stemmed from a bombing campaign that was simply a morale boost.

After Pearl Harbor, in order to boost morale, Roosevelt wanted to return the favor, he wanted to bomb Tokyo, but it was not so easy to bomb Tokyo, mainly because of the range, they did not have bombers with such a long endurance.

In the end, the U.S. military came up with a way to send land-based bombers from aircraft carriers to bomb Tokyo, and after completing the mission, they could fly to China.

On the morning of 17 April, 16 B-25 bombers took off from the USS Hornet.

At that time, the whole country was immersed in the great military exploits of the Imperial Army, and he never thought that the Americans would come to bomb them.

Tokyo turned into a sea of fire, and I was furious.

Victory will make him lose his mind, and anger will have this effect as well.

If the anger is too much, it is natural to take revenge, and in order to retaliate, he said that he sent out all the warships that he could send, and this generated a large number of radio signals.

After the destruction of the Pacific Fleet, the United States lost its maritime power to rival its own, but the United States had a huge advantage in another aspect.

The United States has a powerful ability to decipher enemy messages.

Because of the accurate intelligence, in the Battle of Midway, the United States won more with less, and the Navy suffered a crushing defeat, with four aircraft carriers sunk.

This was a turning point in the battle, but the Allies did not make it much easier because of this, and in various battlefields, whether it was attacking or resisting, the army was extremely strong.

Compared with the Asian theater, the Soviet theater, the European theater and the African theater, the Allied forces were much smoother.

On the Soviet side, the German offensive was completely crushed, and in Leningrad, the German army had no escape and could only wait to be annihilated, and the Soviet army would soon turn to a strategic offensive.

On other fronts, the German army suffered a crushing defeat in Africa, and the landing of Anglo-French troops in North Africa marked the shift of the Allies to a strategic offensive in the African theater.

The most difficult thing for the Allies was in the Asian theater, and every bit of victory had to pay a huge price.

-- This Spring Festival, Chairman Chiang was unhappy as usual.

This time, Chairman Chiang was unhappy not because of the Black God Army, nor because of other Chinese, but because of his old friend American.

The Americans wanted Chiang Kai-shek to increase the intensity of troops to attack northern Burma.

The Americans armed fifty divisions, 800,000 men, and now twenty divisions, 300,000 men, have been sent into India.

If it weren't for the 300,000 expeditionary force, the army would have swept across the entire South Asian continent and joined the German army in the Middle East.

After knowing the agreement between the United States and Britain and the Black God Army, Chiang Kai-shek felt like swallowing a hundred vat of flies, so disgusting that he couldn't do it, and felt that he was more fucking than fucking Dou E's Dou E's Dou E.

Although Chairman Jiang has a problem with pretending to be naïve in the face of foreign adults, it is not too fishy to eat a hundred beans, so what about eating a hundred and one? What about one hundred and two? …… What's more, the power of example is endless, with a jade bandit like the Black God Army in front of him, no matter how confused Chairman Jiang's head is, he will always learn something from it.

It's okay to send troops, you have to give benefits.

Although he still doesn't dare to be as open-mouthed as the Black God Army, he still has to be close to it.

Chiang Kai-shek did not let go, but the pressure grew.

In addition to the Americans, within the group, the one that can really make Chairman Jiang feel pressure is the Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebol.

In this group, Chairman Jiang is like the emperor of the past, and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebol is like the landlord and the old wealthy, when the landlord and the old wealth say their own things, the emperor is very good, but once the landlord and the old wealth unify the caliber, then the emperor is a fart.

Now, under the leadership of the Americans, the "landlords and old money" are gradually unifying their voices.

"Darling, send some people over." Song Meiling persuaded.

"If you don't send it, I won't send a soldier or a gun!" Chiang Kai-shek angrily polished and grinded in the living room, and then, suddenly paused, and shouted: "It's a big deal that I'll go to the wilderness, I'll stop doing it, I'll go back to my hometown!" ”

Knowing that Chiang Kai-shek was angry, Song Meiling continued to persuade her.

It doesn't matter what you say, what matters is the attitude, Song Meiling's wow wow persuasion is for Chiang Kai-shek to step down.

Song Meiling was persuading, and He Yingqin walked in quickly.

He Yingqin's expression was a little wrong, and he seemed to be a little flustered, Chiang Kai-shek's heart jumped, and he asked, "Jingzhi, what happened?" ”

He Yingqin said: "Commission, the Black God Army has increased its troops in Xinyang, Zhumadian, Zhoukou in Henan and Shangqiu, Zaozhuang, and Linyi in Shandong. ”

After brushing the floor, Chiang Kai-shek's face turned pale, and he hurried to the outhouse, wanting to look at the map, but when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

Chiang Kai-shek walked back to the couch, sat down, and closed his eyes.

When Chiang Kai-shek closed his eyes and pondered, Chen Cheng, Zhang Qun, Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi and others came.

Everyone looked at each other, no one squeaked, and they all waited for Chiang Kai-shek.

Slowly, everyone watched, Chiang Kai-shek's face slowly turned from pale to bloody, and then gradually reddened.

There is no doubt that Chairman Chiang's mood has changed from the initial panic to the joy at this point.

Why is that?

After all, everyone is a smart person, and with a nod to the point, they soon understood the reason for Chairman Jiang's happiness. However, although I figured it out, I still had doubts in my heart.

Ten minutes later, Chiang Kai-shek opened his eyes, then stood up and strode towards the war room.

Convene an emergency military meeting.

Chiang Kai-shek issued an order, ordering Liu Zhi to command the 7th, 8th, 93rd Army to move to the Fuyang line, and ordered Chen Cheng to lead the 10th, 11th, 12th and 3rd armies to be stationed in Xuzhou...... After all the assignments were completed, Chiang Kai-shek returned to the living room.

At this time, there are only Song Meiling and Song Ziwen brothers and sisters and Kong Xiangxi in the living room.

It's all family.

Song Meiling, Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi's faces are not very good-looking.

Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment, he didn't believe that his wife still didn't understand the intention of the sudden transfer of the Black God Army.

"What's wrong with you?" After sitting down, Chiang Kai-shek asked.

Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi both looked at Song Meiling, Song Meiling frowned, and asked, "Darling, do you really want to use this as an excuse not to send troops?" ”

After a deep sigh, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Whether or not to send troops, then it depends on what the Americans do?" ”

Song Meiling said: "Our dispatch of troops is only good for the Black God Army, there is no harm, those people must want us to send troops." Darling, but have you thought about it, why did the Black God Army do this? ”

After pondering for a long time, Chiang Kai-shek asked, "Madam, why do you say so?" ”

With a cold smile, Song Meiling said: "Darling, if you want me to see, the intentions of the Black God Army are extremely vicious!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek was silent.

At this time, Song Ziwen said: "Commission, if we use this to negotiate terms with the Americans, will it make the Americans suspicious, thinking that we can cooperate with the Black God Army today, and will we also cooperate in the future, thereby harming the interests of the Americans?" ”

Kong Xiangxi followed and said: "There have always been great doubts in the United States about President Roosevelt's China policy, and those people think that supporting us will strengthen China's overall national strength, and once we join forces with the Black God Army, it will be a complete defeat for the United States." ”

Song Meiling said: "Darling, without the Americans, we can't fight the Black God Army and [***], you have to think about it, you must not fall for the Black God Army's poisonous scheme!" ”

……………… Song Meiling, Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi, these three took turns to talk, and Chiang Kai-shek was dizzy, and the excitement just now was all gone.

"That's it!" In the end, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't stand it anymore, and he broke off the surging Yellow River.

"Don't talk about it, let me think about it."
