Han Yuan, Han Lihong feasted guests, and the guests were Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and Huang Shaohong, the three giants of Guangxi.

In Han Lihong's place, and in front of Chiang Kai-shek, Bai Chongxi's feeling is completely different, he has no pressure, and he can say whatever he wants.

After three glasses of wine, Bai Chongxi asked bluntly: "Mr. Han, do you also advocate guaranteeing the Soviet Union?" ”

Han Lihong nodded with a smile and said, "General Jiansheng, that's the case." ”

It is not difficult for Bai Chongxi to have this judgment, although Han Lihong has never expressed his opinion in this regard, but generally speaking, [***] is Han Lihong's proposition, and in turn, Han Lihong's proposition is also mostly supported by [***].

Li Zongren asked: "Mr. Han also thinks that the Soviet Union is in danger?" ”

The side that advocates guaranteeing the Soviet Union believes that the war is changing rapidly, not to mention, the current war situation is unfavorable to the Soviet Union after all, the Soviet Union is still in the stage of struggling to support, and once the Soviet Union loses, it may cause unforeseen consequences.

This concern is acknowledged even by Bai Chongxi, who insisted on not guaranteeing the Soviet Union, and it is precisely for this reason that the two sides are at loggerheads.

Therefore, even if Han Lihong finally supported [***] side's claim, they would not have an opinion, after all, all of this was brought down by the Black God Army.

However, the three of them didn't expect that Han Lihong shook his head.

Li Zongren asked in surprise, "Mr. Han, is there any other reason?" ”

Han Lihong said: "Degong, I am not worried about the danger of the Soviet Union, but I hope that the strength of the Soviet Union will not be damaged too much. ”

At this time, the three of them were really surprised, and Huang Shaohong asked, "Mr. Han, why is this?" ”

After a deep sigh, Han Lihong said: "As General Jiansheng believes, the German army has missed the best, if not the only, opportunity to defeat the Soviet Union. Now, once the war is stalemate, Germany cannot achieve a quick victory, and there is only one way to lose. ”

"On our side, as long as we force Yuben to attack the United States, then the outcome will be decided, Yuben will lose, the United States will win, and we just need to see the right time to take back the Northeast."

"After the war, Europe will decline, and the United States will inevitably replace Europe as the new world power, and no matter how much we gain in the war, it will be impossible for our national strength to catch up with the United States without decades of arduous struggle." After a pause, Han Lihong continued: "If we want to stand up, whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union, these powers are not happy, and they must use all kinds of means to suppress us and destroy us. ”

Nodding, Li Zongren said: "Mr. Han, I understand, you mean to let the two tigers fight, so that they will have no time to deal with us." ”

Han Lihong nodded and said, "Yes, Duke De, that's exactly what I meant. Compared to us, the USSR was the sworn enemy of the United States, and vice versa. ”

Bai Chongxi said: "Mr. Han, what if the Soviet Union does not admit it in the future?" ”

Han Lihong said: "General Jiansheng, first, it is best for us to defeat the Kwantung Army, recover the Northeast, and occupy the region before the Soviet Union defeats Germany; Second, even if we don't do it, since the center of Soviet interests is in Europe, if at this time, the Soviet Union goes to war with us in the Far East, they will not be able to make up their minds. Moreover, even if it was down, they didn't dare to really fight. ”

Huang Shaohong said: "Mr. Han is right, we have a treaty in hand, as long as we are not too weak, as long as we dare to fight, then the Soviet Union will not dare to go too far." ”

This meal, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Huang Shaohong ate comfortably and comfortably, and they were sincerely convinced.

-- On December 11, Ben attacked Pearl Harbor!

When the news came, Peters was in his sixties, but he was excited to flirt, but when he learned that the US Pacific Fleet had been almost completely destroyed, he burned his ass again.

In the original expectation, he would not be so mad, and he would try his best to avoid a direct war with the United States, so even if he invaded the Dutch East Indies, he would not invade Burma and Malaysia, which they occupied, and India would not be in danger.

When it really can't be done, it is said that the United States will start a war with the United States, and the United States will also have considerable strength to cooperate with them to protect Burma and Malaysia, but now it is good, the Pacific Fleet is completely annihilated, and this means that the United States cannot count on it for the time being.

Myanmar and Malaysia are better, India is a cornucopia, it is the colony that exports the most materials, and there is absolutely no room for error!

After urgent discussions with London, Peters hurried to the U.S. Embassy.

When I saw Comax, there was no doubt, Peters came for nothing, and Comax pushed everything to the American political axe.

The only thing that can be counted on now is the Chinese, but the Black God Army, Peters is not sensitive, and does not dare to provoke at all, it is definitely the master who has to peel off the skin if it is glued.

The best candidate they could count on was naturally Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek's strength was already strong, and the United States armed Chiang Kai-shek with 50 American armourers, which had sufficient strength, and Chiang Kai-shek was relatively easy to get along with, and he had always been more friendly to them foreigners.

To persuade Chiang Kai-shek to send troops, it was naturally best for the Americans to come forward, but the Americans were cunning and slipped.

Peters understood that even if Chiang Kai-shek was good at talking, and let Chiang Kai-shek send troops, it would have to pay a considerable price. Now it is not the Americans who are in a hurry, but the British, so the Americans simply have ready-made.

Damn Americans!

Peters cursed in his heart and flew straight to Nanjing.

-- Since the establishment of the Central Political Axe in Yanjing, Chairman Chiang has not gone to the presidential palace, and he has been stationed at the official residence of Zhongshan Cemetery.

Chairman Chiang had a faint, but extremely stubborn conviction, that one day he would enter the presidential palace as "president," and until then, the presidential palace would remain empty.

Chairman Chiang had no interest in Pieters' visit, but when he met, he still had to give face to the British.

Chiang Kai-shek was not good at talking, and he had nothing to say to foreigners, and now, especially.

After taking a seat on the sofa in the living room, Peters used his diplomatic skills to make a detour all the way, but Chiang Kai-shek ignored his beard at all, and finally, Peters had to go straight to the subject, he said: "Mr. Chiang, on behalf of the British political axe, I formally request you to organize an expeditionary force to enter Southeast Asia to fight against me. ”

Glancing at Pieters, Chiang Kai-shek asked expressionlessly: "Mr. Pieters, you should discuss this matter with the Central Political Axe." ”

Speaking of the words "central political axe", the roots of Chairman Jiang's teeth couldn't help but burst into sour water, just like hearing people say how sour apricots are sour and how sour, they have become conditioned reflexes.

Peters said: "Mr. Chiang, we in the UK have never thought that the central political axe is a worthy partner, we think that Mr. Chiang is our partner in China. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Chiang Kai-shek said: "Mr. Pieters, do you think this is possible without passing the central political axe?"

Thinking that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to negotiate conditions, Peters said: "Mr. Chiang, if you agree to form an expeditionary force, the British political axe will definitely give you sufficient compensation." ”

The corners of his mouth involuntarily twitched, and Chiang Kai-shek said in his characteristic tone, with a hint of mockery: "Mr. Pieters, what kind of reward can you British political axe give me?" ”

Peters was stunned, yes, what could they give Chiang Kai-shek?

Chairman Jiang is looking down on foreigners more and more, and these foreign devils are more and more afraid of bullying and hard than the Chinese, and they do not have a single surname.

This Peeters, with a set of mouths, looks quite smart, but in fact he is also a fool.

Form an expeditionary force and fight with me, don't say anything else, how will the army pass? Long Yun in Yunnan and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in Guangxi are now wearing a pair of pants with the Black God Army, and they fly from the sky without the consent of the Black God Army?

If you want to form an expeditionary force without going through the central political axe, the prerequisite is to have sea supremacy.

Now, do the British have it? There's a fart!

What's more, if they do it with Yue himself, then how can he give up, and they will definitely retaliate, and one of the means of retaliation is to bomb the areas around Shanghai and Nanjing.

For this alone, what compensation did the British get?

Pete Gaba, he's reacting to it now. yes, I'm so anxious, I didn't think of a lot of things.

At this point, Peters understood why Comax couldn't slip his hands. It was not Chiang Kai-shek who made Cowmers scruple, but the Black God Army.

The thought of the Black God Army hurts Peeters' brain.

-- Friend or foe, the prime minister can win the respect of almost everyone; The prime minister's bearing is like spring rain, moisturizing things silently.

After listening to Pieters' request and thinking about it, the prime minister said: "Mr. Pieters, you also know our current situation, although we also hope to defeat the fascists as soon as possible, but we are now unable to form an expeditionary force. ”

Peters said: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Chiang in Nanjing has a strong army, if your central government agrees, we can convince Mr. Chiang." ”

Nodding, the prime minister said, "Then let's do it, Mr. Peters, you convince Mr. Jiang first, and then we will talk." ”

Peters had no choice but to leave Zhongnanhai.

Since then, Peters has been busy, running away from all over China.

-- During the Spring Festival of 1941, there were still more than 10 days before the lunar month, and many places in the land of China began to be lively.

The smell of the year is overflowing.

This year is so lively, for no other reason, in a word, the Chinese have never had such a good time.

He said that he had fought with the Americans, and the Soviet Union had fought with Germany very hard...... The outside world is in full swing and blood is flowing, but in the originally calamitous land of China, it is a peaceful scene that has never been seen before.

After the establishment of the central political axe, through tangible and intangible means, the influence and control of the provinces have always increased little by little, especially after the signing of the treaty with the Soviet Union, with the efforts of the prime minister and Han Lihong, the land returned by the Northeast, Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union has been operated into a huge platform of interests.

Through this platform of interests, the central government's control over the local autonomy of various provinces has been greatly strengthened.

At present, the central government's control over local self-government is not to take power from the provinces, but to restrain those in power in the provinces from acting arbitrarily.

There are huge benefits to be expected, and what they have to pay is not to hand over power to the central political axe, not to mention that the requirements of the central political axe also have great support at the local level, so in this way, many policies implemented by the central political axe have been well implemented.

Among all these policies, the one that has the greatest impact on the interests of the people is the establishment of the standing position system.

The so-called standing position system is the national grain reserve system that was familiar to later generations.

The West did not have this earlier, and China's standing position system dates back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, when the Chinese began to store grain.

In the era of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the system of regular liquidation was formally established.

In a word, the establishment of a regular liquidation system fundamentally lies in the interests of the vast number of peasants and the whole society, so as to avoid "cheap grain hurting the peasants" and "expensive grain hurting the people."

In addition to the normal agricultural harvest, the standing liquidation system can also ensure that when a major natural disaster occurs, the state will open a warehouse and release grain, provide relief to the victims free of charge, and ensure social stability.

It can be said that the reason why ancient Chinese society was able to maintain long-term stability has a lot to do with the establishment of the standing position system.

Therefore, as soon as the central government was established, one of the first priorities to promote was to establish a standing position system.

Due to the system, the system cannot be carried out by the state, but can only be done by the provincial and local self-government axes.

If you want to make profits, but you don't do things well, here in Han Lihong, there is no such thing, so the establishment of every policy is accompanied by strict supervision and punitive measures that are poisoned to the bones.

For example, in the case of a serious problem, not only will the chairman of the provincial political axe step down, but his children and grandchildren will never be allowed to enter the political axe system.

This kind of punitive measure seems to be a fantasy, but with the huge interests of the interest platform as an introduction, mixed with the power struggle within the provinces, this kind of fanciful punitive measure has become more ironclad than ironclad.

All this, coupled with the social stability in recent years, and most of the country's most parts of the country have been in good weather, making China's real golden decade begin.

The flavor of the year, naturally, is the most under the control of the Black God Army and [***].

-- Churchill's face turned pale.

At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army landed in Kota Bharu in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula and in Attanii and Songkhla in southern Thailand, and the British army was defeated one after another.

And this is not the most serious, the most serious is that the foundation of the British Empire - the navy also suffered a crushing defeat.

In less than two months, dozens of ships, including the USS Athletic, the battleship Prince of Wales, and the battlecruiser Counterattack, were sunk, and the Far East Fleet suffered heavy losses, and now the British Empire's sphere of influence has been reduced to the western part of the Indian Ocean.

Churchill's face was already a little hideous, and at this moment, because of pain, anger and unwillingness, it was even more hideous.

Churchill was so emotional, not because of himself, but because of the Americans.

Because, he is going to beg the Americans.

Asking for Americans, Churchill didn't care, let alone asking for Americans, for the sake of the British Empire, if needed, he could go to the devil Satan, but if he begged the Americans, it meant the loss of the fundamental interests of the British Empire, which Churchill could not bear.

Last August, at the Atlantic conference on the USS Augusta in the Agin Gulf of Newfoundland in the northern Atlantic, the Americans showed their greedy fangs.

At that time, because the Americans did not agree to their demands, the content of the "Atlantic Charter" signed was general, and did not involve substance, which did not help to solve the dilemma faced by Britain.

Now, he begged to come to the door and agreed to the conditions of the Americans.

Churchill was not willing to go even if he died, but in order to keep India, he had to go.

In addition to fighting in China for less than two years, the national strength has been growing over the years, and now it can be called the peak of national strength, and it is at its peak.

Although most of the forces were contained in Manchuria, if there were no other containments, the remaining forces of the original were enough to sweep across the South Asian continent.

Now, the only person who can contain Yu himself is the Chinese, specifically Chiang Kai-shek, and in order for Chiang Kai-shek to send troops, he must have the support of the Americans.

The day Churchill arrived in the United States, according to the Chinese, was extremely obscure, because the moment he set foot in the United States was the moment when the commander of the British forces in Singapore, Percival, signed the instrument of surrender and surrendered the book.

On this day, the Chinese are very happy, because this day is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

――――Tang Xu smiled, and his attitude was very good.

However, Tang Xu's smile fell in the eyes of Peters and Comax, both of whom felt a little creepy, feeling as if they had turned into little white rabbits and accidentally touched Grandma Wolf.

Sure enough, as soon as Tang Xu spoke, the two of them were dizzy and dizzy.

Pieters who was stunned first.

To the British Empire, Tang Xu's asking price was 100,000 square kilometers of land in Assam and Nagaland and 100,000 square kilometers of land north of Myitkyina, Burma.

How can the land of the British Empire be given to people, and it is still Chinese!

"No, it's absolutely not going to work!" Peters was anxious when he heard this.

Peters was in a hurry, Tang Xu was not in a hurry at all, he continued: "Mr. Peters, don't worry, it's not over yet." ”

Not done yet? Peters' eyes rolled, and his blood almost clotted and bolted over.

Damn the Chinese! Peters suppressed his anger and asked, "Mr. Tang, what else?" ”

Tang Xu said: "In your museum, the cultural relics stolen from China must be returned to us. ”

"That's not us robbing ......"

Suddenly, Tang Xu's face turned cold, and Peters immediately suffocated, unable to speak.

"And, Mr. Pieters, you British Empire has another $100 million to pay."

"Mr. Tang, your conditions are too harsh, we can't agree." It took a long breath before Peters spoke.

"It's okay, Mr. Peters, we can wait." After speaking, Tang Xu turned to Comax again and said, "Mr. Comax, on the U.S. side, we hope that the $500 million loan can be written off. ”

It's so dark!

Just agreeing to give way, and offering such a sky-high price, the Black God Army caught the toad not to take out urine, but to ...... But...... Comax "but" not out.
