Chapter 329: Sino-German Alliance
With the gradual service of the Air Force fighters, even some high-ranking generals of the army have gradually become the objects of beneficiaries, and taking an air plane is now not a distant thing. After Chen Mingjie finished talking about India with the so-called negotiators, he hurried from India to Yunnan.
Because in India, the Chinese side did not build an airport there. And at this time, there are not many airports in China that really belong to airports. There are quite a few field airfields in China that can allow fighter planes to take off and land, but those airports are not capable of landing some large aircraft. At this time, the planes that Wang Lin equipped with major domestic generals all had the ability to fly over long distances. Therefore, the reminder is naturally much larger than the fighter.
If nothing else, at least you have to be able to fly half of China, right? You can't come down to refuel before you have flown for a while, so what's the difference between having such a plane and not having it?
In a certain airport in Yunnan, after boarding the plane and feeling the momentum of the plane taking off, Chen Mingjie felt a shock in his heart, as if his liver was about to be torn. This was Chen Mingjie's second flight, the last time when he traveled from Wuhan to the Southeast Asia Corps Headquarters. Another uncomfortable feeling came, Chen Mingjie only felt a wave of clouds in his abdomen, and the food he had eaten just now couldn't help but want to vomit.
But in the end, I endured it, a high-ranking general of the Wehrmacht, how can I not be rumored to be said to be airsick, right? In that case, the joke would be a big one.
In a dizziness, before he had time to reminisce about the feeling of taking the plane, Chen Mingjie felt that the plane was obviously descending. It is clear that this is a precursor to the landing of the plane. For a while, Chen Mingjie's heart was more like knocking over the five-flavor bottle. Now it's good to have a plane, before such a long distance, it was just a few days by car, but now it's good, two hours away. And it also saves the fatigue of riding in the car, but the feeling of floating in the air is really not very comfortable.
After getting off the plane, Chen Mingjie directly boarded the car that came to wait and went straight to the Wuhan Palace. There, quite a few people were already waiting for him. After arriving at the Wuhan Imperial Palace, Chen Mingjie was shocked in his heart, this was the first time he had seen so many people in the Wuhan Imperial Palace. It's just that I don't know what's going on, as long as it's the number one person who can be ranked in the political axe, it's here at this time.
The place where everyone gathered was also changed to the largest court hall in the palace. Wang Lin sat alone on the dragon chair above, and an invisible majesty pressed on everyone in the audience, making people feel breathless.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Lin didn't drag it out anymore. To be honest, with so many people waiting for Chen Mingjie alone, Wang Lin was a little embarrassed. However, this matter is everyone's business, and it will not work without anyone, not to mention that this matter is not a big deal politically, the most important thing is military. In addition to the bigwigs in the Ministry of Defense who need to be present, Long Yuhui and Chen Mingjie, the two big players who are fighting outside, also need to be present.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that everyone has arrived, there are some things that it is time to tell you." Wang Lin said loudly. It's actually no good to have a big room, you have to say something so loudly, it's very difficult, but you can't be so loud and can't help it, you can't let the person standing behind you can't hear what you're saying, right?
"However, before we start, let's let Minister Tang San give a detailed report on some of our war developments in the past six months, so that everyone can have a bottom in their hearts." Wang Lin continued unhurriedly.
To be honest, at the beginning, Wang Lin didn't expect things to develop in this direction, let alone that the Germans would encounter such embarrassment. But now is not the time to discuss these issues, to be able to let China intervene in the European war, in fact, is also a good choice, Wang Lin has always thought that if the shadow of the Chinese does not appear on the battlefield of the European war, then it will become a lifelong regret?
However, the problems on the Chinese side are also very prominent, the navy's transportation capacity is insufficient, and it is a little difficult to transport the Southeast Asian army to various battlefields alone, and it is simply impossible to continue to transport troops overseas. However, if Wang Lin really wants to continue to transport troops overseas, it is not impossible, but once this method is said, I am afraid it will make people laugh out of their big teeth.
Tang San bowed slightly to Wang Lin, and then bowed to the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, after half a year, the area under our control has increased a lot, only Southeast Asia, which is basically under our control, but the problem is not nothing, on the contrary, the problem we are about to face will be a severe test." ”
"First of all, what we are most lacking at present is the navy, and at this stage, the operations of the Southeast Asian Legion just need a large number of naval ships to assist. Although the total number of naval ships we have has exceeded 100, these 100 warships are somewhat insignificant when distributed along our long coastline. ”
"The British and the French have shown some weakness in the previous battles, and they do not care about our colonies in the Far East, and now the main task of their two countries is to protect their homeland with all their might, so this is a good time for us to take advantage of the opportunity to expand the results of the war. So the next war will trouble Commander Long and Commander Chen. The two commanders are far away from abroad commanding the army to fight, and the country will not forget you. ”
"And the first batch of 200,000 mercenaries on the Korean side has now taken shape, and we have distributed corresponding weapons and equipment to them, and now they have been assigned to the Northern Expeditionary Corps. As for how to use it, it is up to Commander Long to decide. The first batch of 300,000 mercenaries on the other side will be ready to go to the battlefield in another month or two, and these 300,000 mercenaries will be divided into Southeast Asian legions, and how to use them is also up to Commander Chen. ”
In short, in the following battles, what we need is to expand our results without limit, maximize our victories as much as possible, and maximize our interests. Nowadays, the world's resources are simply not enough for the whole world to live a happy life, so we can only compete for it without limits, and let our people live as happily as possible. ”
Chen Mingjie was a little stunned when he heard these words, what is this? Didn't Tang San say these words long before he set out on the expedition? Why are you still talking about it now? If Wang Lin called them all back to announce these things, then Chen Mingjie was really blind. However, it was obvious that Chen Mingjie didn't believe that Wang Lin had called them back all the way to say such a weightless remark.
Chen Mingjie turned around and glanced at Long Yuhui secretly, and found that the other party was as depressed as himself at this time, and was confused by Tang San's words, so he was even more sure of his thoughts, I'm afraid that what Tang San said was just a prelude, right? The latter is the point.
Sure enough, not long after Tang San finished speaking, Wang Lin continued to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is indeed not easy for us to get to where we are today. For today's situation, we have lost tens of thousands of soldiers, but for a better tomorrow, we will lose even more soldiers. To tell the truth, watching our soldiers die on the battlefield one by one, I also have an indescribable pain in my heart. But I can't order them to be withdrawn. ”
"Soldiers have the mission of soldiers, and I withdraw them, although I can save their surnames, but I can't keep their backbone, and I can't keep the backbone of our Chinese nation. We have swallowed our anger for so many years, and now we finally have the opportunity to show our strength and spit out all the wretched energy that we have talked about for so many years. We cannot stagnate for the sake of this loss, and this is not the style of our Chinese nation. ”
"I didn't intend to announce this so early, and I didn't intend to do it, but now that the situation has changed, half of the credit for our success in Asia should belong to the Germans. Why? Because the Germans pinned down a significant part of the enemy for us in Europe. By this time, Britain and France had abandoned most of their overseas colonies in order to protect their homeland. ”
"However, for some of the major colonies, they still can't give up completely, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if they give up or not, we can grab it with our own hands and with our own lives. Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life. Britain and France are now sick people, and we must seize this opportunity and seize this opportunity to move forward. Once we succeed, our international starvation status will be on par with Britain, but this is not our ultimate goal, what we need is to let people all over the world look up to our Chinese nation, and let our children of the Chinese nation walk around any international world and shout loudly, I am Chinese. ”
"It's not enough to be active in Asia. Now the Germans seem to have encountered some problems, although they performed relatively well on the German-French battlefield, but after so long, the Germans still did not carry out the landing in Britain, but intended to turn around and fight against Tsarist Russia. The reason for not landing in Britain was that the British side had a larger naval fleet than the Germans, and the quality of naval combat personnel far exceeded that of the Germans. To be honest, in fact, I also sweated for the Germans, what if the army was sunk by the British navy in the process of crossing the sea? ”
"But what I didn't expect was that the Germans would make such a decision. It is not in our interest to abandon the attack on Britain in favor of Tsarist Russia. Now that we have put on a posture in the northeast to attack Tsarist Russia, at this time the Germans turn their guns and want to come up and get a bite of meat, can we agree? No! ”
"But what's the use of us not agreeing? The naval strength of the Germans was not at all able to land on the British mainland, but fortunately, the Germans had thought of us before making their plans, and sent an ambassador to explain the situation and seek our advice. Speaking of this, Wang Lin paused.
The following ministers really fell into deep thought, China's relationship with Germany is ambiguous, this is a well-known thing, although China is not in alliance with the Germans, but these things between China and Germany are actually no different from the alliance. During Germany's war with other countries, China secretly sold all kinds of equipment to Germany, even the latest fighter planes were sold to Germany, and even helped the Germans train air force pilots.
If it were a different country, I am afraid that it would have become the enemy of the whole world long ago. However, in the face of Chinese, who have a population of more than 400 million, Britain, France and other countries still chose cowardice. Demographic factors are only one of the reasons, and more importantly, China is much more advanced than them in all aspects. Now, they don't have the ability and guts to go to war with the Chinese.
Now the Germans have sent ambassadors to ask for China's opinion, and it is clear that they have taken the Chinese as their allies. But the person who can stand here must not be a fool. When the German ambassador came to China, he would not simply ask for China's opinion. Just now Wang Lin said that the problem of the German navy is not surprising, and the Germans must have asked for help from China.
Since they did not want to offend China on the issue of Tsarist Russia, they could only ask China for help, and as long as there was help from the Chinese, it would be extremely easy for the Germans to land on the British Isles. Moreover, the current China is obviously not an object that can be offended, and no country in this world will take the initiative to choose to offend the Chinese.
As for Britain and France, they are also in a state of depression at this time. I just said something to the point, and as a result, I attracted a war letter from the Chinese Empire. What they didn't expect was that not long after the war letter was issued, their colonies in the Far East were attacked militarily by the Chinese side. It was premeditated, and by this time, even a fool could see that the Chinese side had premeditated.
Otherwise, no one would have started a war directly after the war letter, and there were all kinds of internal annihilations in it, and it would have been absolutely impossible to achieve this point if it was not prepared in advance. Britain and France have been able to eat the world for so many years, and they are naturally not stupid.
"Your Majesty, I think we can help the Germans land on the British mainland, after all, our army will be internationalized in the future, and fighting only in Asia is not our ultimate goal at all, and sending troops now can at least let the soldiers feel the atmosphere of the European battlefield." Long Yuhui said after thinking carefully about the pros and cons.
Wang Lin nodded secretly, and then looked at Chen Mingjie again. These two generals are now fighting abroad, and their opinions are still very important to Wang Lin. After all, Wang Lin is just an amateur, and compared with their majors, it is still far behind.
"Huangshan, I also think that we can send an appropriate amount of troops to help the Germans, but we should not send too many people, first of all, because our base camp is in Asia, too far away from Europe, and the fleet cannot run to send supplies to them every day, so when our troops arrive in Europe, we can only rely on the logistics of the Germans to fight. If there are too many people, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the Germans. Originally, the Germans' combat resources were very scarce and could not withstand our consumption. Chen Mingjie thought about it and said his thoughts.
What Chen Mingjie said is certainly reasonable, but Wang Lin doesn't think so, even if Wang Lin sends 200,000, 300,000, or even 500,000 troops, what can the Germans do? How dare they not supply the Wehrmacht? In this case, the Germans would only be playing with fire [***]. It was too easy for the Wehrmacht to find supplies in Europe. As long as you release a word, whoever makes up for me will help whoever fights, and behind the ass will be followed by a group of countries shouting that I will give you, even if you give double it, there are many people.
However, from their words, Wang Lin also heard a meaning, they only regarded the Germans as temporary allies, but they had no intention of tearing their faces with the Germans at any time. This kind of thinking is unacceptable, because war is originally a struggle for interests. Now the Chinese and the Germans are allies, so tomorrow the Chinese and the Germans may part ways because of their respective interests.
It is also very likely that they will turn against each other, of course, it is best if these things do not happen, but if they do, it will be very bad if these major generals do not have such a plan in their hearts. This will allow China to react in the most effective period of time after it really encounters such a situation, thus giving the enemy sufficient time to prepare.
"In this case, we will send a naval fleet and soldiers from two armies to form a Chinese expeditionary force and go to Europe." In the end, Wang Lin still referred to the opinions of Long Yuhui and Chen Mingjie, and some things could not be completely according to their own intentions. If you offend everyone, you can only suffer in the end.
The troops of the two armies, only about 110,000 people, were not very many, and they were completely within the tolerance range of the German army, and they also helped the Germans to fight. Besides, the Germans have long wanted to observe the combat methods of the Chinese Wehrmacht in actual combat, and now that they have such an opportunity, how can the Germans easily let it go?
At the end of the meeting, the German ambassador readily agreed to Wang Lin's request that Germany assume the supply of the army and navy units of the two armies. Please rest assured that His Majesty the Emperor. But then there is an extremely important problem, once the Chinese send troops to Europe to help the Germans fight, it will be tantamount to announcing the Sino-German alliance. Wang Lin had never agreed to form an alliance with the Germans before, and it was because of various interests, and now he had to do so, in fact, it was a bit of a last resort.
