Chapter 311 Churchill saw hope
Looking at the soldiers sitting cross-legged on the ground on the field, Fu Zuoyi's heart was surging.
When he went to Shanxi this time, he pulled Yan Xishan's family background, the best officers, the best soldiers, the best rifles, and all the light and heavy machine guns and everything called "cannons."
From beginning to end, Yan Xishan strongly supported him, and Fu Zuoyi really admired Yan Xishan's style.
There are many people who can understand things, but there are very few people who can understand and do it, and people like Yan Xishan who do this kind of thing are even rarer.
Yan Xishan is one of these rare ones.
The military power is said to be released, and no matter how clearly you see it, it is difficult to do it.
Yan Xishan is relying on Han Lihong, the more simply Yan Xishan does it now, the more Han Lihong owes Yan Xishan a favor, so no matter what happens in the future, Han Lihong has to protect Yan Xishan first.
Fu Zuoyi began to speak.
Fu Zuoyi can't remember how many times he has spoken to the soldiers, but he knows that he has not spoken before, and he will not have the confidence to speak at this moment.
The confidence is really enough, as soon as Fu Zuoyi opened his mouth, these soldiers were all dizzy.
It was all dried up, and Fu Zuoyi promised that each soldier would eat one pound of meat a day until he was discharged.
One pound of meat a day, and ...... I still eat until I am discharged from the army!
The soldiers were stunned.
In the past, they could only eat a meal of meat during the New Year's holidays, and there were only a few pieces, which was not enough to eat.
Looking at the expressions of the soldiers, a trace of tears flickered in Fu Zuoyi's eyes, and Han Lihong's words sounded in his heart again: The soldiers have to sacrifice for the country, and it is necessary to eat well.
When the soldiers were dizzy, Fu Zuoyi sprayed the dry goods out again.
In the end, when Fu Zuoyi announced that in the future, there would be no Jin Sui Army, only the Black God Army, and the soldiers and brothers all wanted to die happily.
I see!
The three words "Black God Army" make all happiness tangible and within reach.
At the end of the speech, Fu Zuoyi left, and immediately, the officer announced the disbandment, but almost no one left.
No one organized, the soldiers all trained spontaneously.
If you don't practice, will you succeed? If this is unqualified and eliminated, then you must not regret dying!
Meat is a small matter, other treatment is also a small matter, and land is a big thing.
Fu Zuoyi just announced that if he died in battle, he would be compensated for his family with 120 acres of land; disabled, bereavement pension ranging from 50 to 90 acres of land; Discharge from the army, with a reward of at least thirty acres of land.
Moreover, this is only the minimum standard, if there is military merit, then it is counted separately.
The news was quickly notified to the whole army, and all of a sudden, the soldiers of the Jin Sui army went crazy.
What is a large-scale military training? That's it!
-- The war situation in Europe has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the changes are so rapid that people are dizzying.
In the face of the German Blitzkrieg Corps, everything was like paper paste and vulnerable.
On May 29, the British [***] team had to retreat from Dunkirk; On June 10, Italy declared war on France; On 17 June, the PΓ©tain regime in France surrendered.
In this way, the British Empire, which ruled over the seven seas, seemed to be in danger of being exhausted in the face of the emerging empire Germany.
On 10 May, the cabinet of Chamberlain resigned, and the sensational hero Winston Churchill came to power.
Although Churchill came to power and Britain still had a strong navy, no one was optimistic about Britain.
The sharp turn in the war in Europe brought great political shocks to French Indochina, the Dutch East Indies, and other parts of the South.
These have become big fat meat that has been shaking around the mouth of the hungry wolf.
It is said that this has stepped up the layout.
On 16 July, War Minister Shunroku Hata submitted his resignation alone, and Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yonechi asked the War Department to recommend a candidate to succeed him as Minister of the Army, but the War Department refused on the pretext that it was difficult to propose a successor to the Minister of the Army, based on the opinion of the meeting of the three chiefs of the Army, the Chief of Staff, and the Director of Education.
The Army's practice of intervening in politics with the Minister of War as a shield was met with public opinion, but even though it was criticized, the Minai Cabinet could not persist without the cooperation of the War Department.
As a result, on July 17, the MinΓ© cabinet was forced to resign as a whole.
On July 18, the Emperor issued an imperial decree ordering Konoe Fumiro to form a cabinet.
On July 22, the formation of the cabinet of Konoe Fumiro was completed, and the list of cabinet members is as follows:
Prime Minister Fumiki Konoe, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Extension Matsuoka Yoyoyo, Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister of Health and Welfare, Eiji Yasui, Minister of Treasure, Minister of War Ryo Kawada, Minister of Army Hideki Tojo, Minister of the Navy Yoshida Zengo Minister of Justice Kazami Akira, Minister of Education and Culture, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Hashida Kunihiko Hashida, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Ishiguro, Minister of Commerce and Industry Ichizo Kobayashi Minister and Minister of Railways, Minister of Murata Provincial Kurashi and President of the Planning Institute Naoki Hoshino, Secretary of the Cabinet Kenji Tomita, and the Konoe Cabinet was formed solely for the purpose of implementing the imperial grand strategy.
The struggle for power has always been fierce and complex, which has caused great distress to the Empire.
After several bloody coups, the military has been integrated, but there are still many factions on the political axe, which seriously interferes with the effectiveness of governance.
Therefore, as soon as the Konoe Cabinet was formed, the movement for a new political system began.
The so-called movement of the new political system means that the original political party is in decline, and it is necessary to establish an organization that is rooted in the whole people and different from the original political party, and the center of the new political system is the cabinet, and the driving force of the new political system is the political force from the national organization, and this political force is not a political party with the old concept, but a political force that can enter both the political axe, the army, and all organizations.
Konoe's political philosophy coincided with the grand strategy formulated by the Emperor, Prince Zaihito, and the military, so with the help of Konoe Fumiro's prestige, the military secretly cooperated, and all of a sudden, Konoe Fumiro's new political system movement flourished, and the original political parties took the initiative to dissolve and gathered under the banner of Konoe Fumiro.
At the same time, the movement of new institutions in the economic and ideological spheres soon became popular in society.
So far, we have roughly completed all the domestic preparations to meet the great changes in the world.
-- Long Yun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi went to the capital together.
Now, Yunnan and Guangxi have formed a community with a shared future because of North Vietnam, and they share weal and woe.
Long Yun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi naturally didn't see as far as Taizu and Han Lihong.
At first, they unanimously agreed that as long as they did not dare to attack North China, it would be impossible to attack North Vietnam, but when they learned that the United States had lent the Black God Army $500 million, they were immediately shocked.
$500 million, that's astronomical money, and the maximum amount of fiat currency issued is only $500 million.
Why did the United States lend $500 million to the Black God Army?
With this introduction, in connection with the current situation, they easily thought of the purpose of the United States, and once the Black God Army invaded the Northeast, then, what would North Vietnam do?
The trust between the two sides was already very deep, so when they thought of the danger, they immediately contacted Han Lihong, and Han Lihong also invited them to come to Beijing to discuss matters.
Han Lihong has never liked luxury, no matter how the money comes from, whether it is legitimate or not, he thinks that luxury is a sin, a moral sin.
Han Lihong doesn't like luxury, but he likes beautiful environments, and under his strong hobby, not only the scenery of the Han Garden is extremely beautiful, but also outside the Han Garden.
Han Lihong personally went to Nanyuan Airport to greet him, and Nanyuan Airport was also within the range of Nanhaizi. Now, Nanhaizi is far from recovering, and when the vast color has gradually taken shape.
Along the way, Long Yun, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were all looking nostalgic and fascinated, and at the same time, they were also extremely emotional.
In the hearts of Long Yun, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, as well as many Chinese, the restoration of Nanhaizi heralded the return of the Chinese Empire.
After entering the Han Garden, Long Yun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi's mood was much calmer.
After sitting down and offering tea, Han Lihong told the matter again without waiting for Long Yun and the others to ask.
After Han Lihong finished speaking, Long Yun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi were all shocked without exception, and Han Lihong's handwriting was really getting bigger and bigger.
They all know that not to mention extorting land from Lao Maozi, even if they can take back the Northeast, it is all the work of greed, and China will set foot on the broad road in the future, and there will be no need to be afraid of any foreign powers.
In the Northeast, I have made great efforts, with a strong industrial foundation, and with the $500 million in good things from the United States, just North China and Northeast China are enough to support the whole of China.
Compared to this, North Vietnam's gains and losses are nothing.
His brows furrowed slightly, and Bai Chongxi asked, "Mr. Han, I said that I would definitely garrison a heavy army to defend it, can we bite it?" β
Han Lihong said: "General Jiansheng, as long as we can effectively organize the people, nothing else is insurmountable. For example, if we can't fight head-on in the Northeast, then we will fully bloom and let the entire Northeast be a battlefield, which is on our territory after all. β
Han Lihong didn't tell the secret weapon, it wasn't that he didn't trust them, but they didn't need to know, they weren't afraid of 10,000 things, just in case.
Bai Chongxi nodded and said, "This tactic is good, so that I am exhausted to deal with it." β
After Bai Chongxi finished speaking, Li Zongren hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Han, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask?" β
Waving his hand, Han Lihong smiled and said, "Duke De, if you have anything to say, just ask, there is no such thing as taking it seriously." β
No longer polite, Li Zongren said: "If the Northeast is taken back, will it be given to [***]?" β
Han Lihong nodded in his heart, Li Zongren is Li Zongren, and he can see this from the fact that he arranged [***] in Rehe, Chahar and Inner Mongolia.
Han Lihong said: "Duke De, I have an agreement with [***] that in the future, all outside Shanhaiguan will be returned to [***]." β
All belong to [***]? Long Yun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi were all taken aback.
They thought that [***] would have a great interest in the Northeast in the future, but they never thought that Han Lihong would give the Northeast to [***].
What's more, if you really extort 3 million square kilometers of land from Lao Maozi, then plus the 1.5 million square kilometers of land in Outer Mongolia, [***] will occupy more than 6 million square kilometers of land!
Long Yun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi all frowned, and after a while, Bai Chongxi spoke first and said, "Mr. Han, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" β
Han Lihong said: "Whether it is [***] or us, ideology is just a means, a means for the prosperity of the country and the nation. If our country is rich and strong, and we still care about ideology, it must be only a very small number of people, and they cannot set off the storm. General Jiansheng, I think our greatest responsibility is to let everyone return to the middle way, put aside ideology, and never again, and never allow any bloody storm on the land of China. β
After Han Lihong finished speaking, Li Zongren sighed and said, "Mr. Han, I'm ashamed, I'm still in love." β
Han Lihong said a few polite words, and at this time, Long Yun said: "Mr. Han, once the fight starts, you may still need the help of the whole country, and I am afraid that some people will be dissatisfied at that time." β
Han Lihong smiled and said, "Chairman Long, don't worry, I'll have something to gag them at that time." β
As soon as Han Lihong said this, the three of them were interested, and Han Lihong led them into a big room.
As soon as they entered, Long Yun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi's eyes all fell on the north gable.
On the back wall, a large map hangs.
The map is a national map, and it is marked with two very striking colors, red and blue.
Looking at the map, Li Zongren asked, "This is ......?"
Han Lihong said: "Degong, red represents the railway, and blue represents the highway. β
Long Yun, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi all gasped, Han Lihong's handwriting was really amazing!
If this is all done according to the map, what will become of China by then?
Staring at the map, suddenly, Li Zongren's heart moved, and then he asked in surprise: "Mr. Han, are those roads you built in North China ......?"
Nodding, Han Lihong said: "Build the dirt road according to the standard in North China, once we have the ability, as long as the dirt road is paved with cement or asphalt, it will become a highway." β
Li Zongren was impressed.
When Han Lihong built the dirt road, he aimed at the overall plan of the national surname in the future.
Awesome, it's really not good to be unconvinced!
-- With the onset of winter, President Roosevelt was much more relaxed, and it seemed that the landing of German troops on the British Isles was far away.
Under Churchill, the British withheld.
It was good news that the British had survived, but it was bad news, very bad news, to say that I had landed in South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos in French Indochina.
Abominable Chinese!
Roosevelt muttered an expletive.
The Chinese did not say a word about his actions and allowed him to occupy French Indochina. If the Chinese were against it, they would have had some scruples; If the Chinese are resolutely opposed, it will not be easy for me to occupy the French Indian branch.
Roosevelt knew what the Chinese were planning.
The Chinese hope that Yue Ben will fight with them first, so that a large part of his own strength will be consumed on them.
In fact, Roosevelt's plans were similar to those of the Chinese, and he did not want to be the first to do it with himself.
Thinking about the situation in the Far East, Roosevelt's head began to hurt again.
This does not bode well, Chinese silence on the occupation of French Indochina by the Sayben heralds that the Sayben and the Germans may continue to remain silent until they Chinese think the time has come.
There are three reasons why the Chinese are silent.
First, he hoped to use the Soviets to consume his own strength.
Second, he hopes that he will fight with the United States.
He said that the attack on the Soviet Union must have been a large-scale mechanized corps operation, and the oil consumed was amazing, and in order to get oil, he would be desperate.
It is for this reason that, in order to avoid pushing the president into a hurry, although the United States has abrogated the "Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with the United States," especially the "National Defense Act" passed by Congress in July, giving the president the absolute right to control the export of materials, he still has not imposed restrictions on the fuel that he needs.
In just five months, Ben has imported six times as much fuel from the United States as it did last year.
However, the restrictions will be sooner or later, and they will be soon, otherwise, both internally and externally, the political axe will not be able to account for it. In fact, even the current export of the book has been done by doing everything possible to find excuses.
The U.S. Air Force uses aviation gasoline with an octane rating of 100, and its aircraft use fuel with an octane rating of less than 87, and the export of fuel to the U.S. will not affect the United States.
Third, the Chinese may, no, not possibly, but must take the opportunity to blackmail the Soviets.
The Chinese would take the opportunity to blackmail the Soviets, which Roosevelt had in mind not so long ago.
Taking the opportunity to regain the lost land, Roosevelt knew how determined the Chinese were, but this was playing with fire, and Stalin's toughness was notoriously notorious.
If the Chinese play too far, they will burn not only the Soviets, but also themselves, as well as the Americans.
When it really gets to that point, the situation is too bad.
It's a terrible thing.
Sighing, Roosevelt picked up the pen and signed an order that decided the fate of the world, and he could only hope now that the Chinese were not too bold.
-- The U.S. political axe transferred the fleet from Southern California to Pearl Harbor on Oahu, Hawaii.
Churchill breathed a sigh of relief at the news, and his eagle-sharp and sinister gaze fixed on the location of Hawaii on the map.
The U.S. political axe moved the Southern California fleet to Pearl Harbor on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, the purpose of this transfer was to strengthen their resolve to resist the Germans, but more importantly, to deter the Germans.
Damn Americans!
Britain has been doing everything possible to impose economic sanctions on the United States in order to lure the United States into war and draw the United States into the war, but the hateful Americans are not fooled and not only continue to provide fuel to the United States, but also continue to export iron and scrap steel.
Churchill had a clear view of the US strategy, but there was no way, each person's likes and dislikes could not determine the reality of the country, and he had to rely on the Americans.
The presence of the U.S. fleet in Hawaii would put them in a dilemma: if they were left unattended, they would be attacked from the flanks during their invasion of the Dutch East Indies and Singapore, but if they did, they would have to go to war with the United States.
What would Ben do?
Finally Churchill stared at China on the map.
