770 World Revolution and World Empire IV End or Beginning?
The end or beginning of the 770 World Revolution and World Empire IV?
"Long live the Republic of China! Long live the Wehrmacht! Long live the President......"
The loudest cheers suddenly erupted on Wuhan's Zhongshan Road, and when the BMW brand convertible car in which President Luo Yiqun, Chief of General Staff Luo Yaoguo, and others were riding appeared in the eyes of Wuhan citizens, the entire capital of the Republic of China really fell into madness at this moment. The rooftops of the newly built high-rise buildings on both sides of Zhongshan Road are also full of people, and at this moment, they can only wave the colorful flags in their hands frantically, throw ribbons on the street, and shout loudly at this moment. Luo Yaoguo's uncle and nephew sat side by side in the open-top car, waving their hands at the crowd on both sides of the road and above the high-rise buildings.
Beside them was a group of young and energetic young officers, most of whom were colonel-level officers in the seventh, eighth, and ninth phases of Whampoa, each of whom had straight uniforms, shiny epaulettes, and shiny medals on their chests. These people are all regiment commanders and battalion commanders who have performed well in this war and made great contributions. Behind them are rows of young lieutenants, most of them are officers after the tenth period of Whampoa, now these people are the absolute backbone of the army, but also the most ambitious class of the Wehrmacht, they wear steel helmets, shining military boots, cold eyes, kicking neatly and neatly, and in their hands are holding a captured Soviet Red Army flag, these red flags with sickle and hammer markings, now all full of bullet holes and blood, hanging weakly on the flagpole, as if telling the collapse of a red empire!
Behind these lieutenants were 8,000 elite infantry of the Wehrmacht, all dressed in brand-new uniforms, and all the rifles in their hands were covered with bright bayonets, shining in the March sun of Wuhan. Seeing these warriors who pierced the myth of the invincibility of the Soviet Red Army with bayonets in their hands (this is actually also a myth, it was many deadly planes and tanks that really defeated the Soviet Red Army...... The citizens of the capital could not contain the ecstasy in their hearts, tears of excitement and flowers flew together, and counter-revolutionary slogans and cheers burst out at the same time! The Republic of China and the National Defense Forces seem to have ushered in the most glorious era at this moment!
As the marching army passed through the East Lake Embassy area, on the balcony on the second floor of the US Embassy on East Lake Road, three tall, short, fat and thin Americans were quietly looking at the sea of Chinese marches. They are the US ambassador to China, Jensen, the embassy military attachΓ© Stilwell, and the US adviser to the General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces, MacArthur. The three of them watched all this quietly together, and their eyes were indescribably complicated.
MacArthur took a few puffs of his corn pipe in his mouth, and after exhaling circles of blue smoke, the whole person seemed to calm down a lot. He turned his head, looked at the two colleagues, and said lightly: "Two gentlemen, do you have any feelings?" Without waiting for Jensen and Stilwell to answer, he sighed thoughtfully, "This nation has risen again, and they have gained all the glory and territory that history once had!" This is another world empire, and now there are five world empires in the world, and our United States of America is only one of them...... And it's not the most powerful one! At this point, he glanced at Stilwell, "Joseph, what do you think of this peace negotiation, will this be a respite for the Soviet Union?" β
Stilwell shook his head, nodded again, and finally sighed. "I don't know, I don't know. There are so many variables that the Soviet Union has effectively been defeated, and it should have been a wise move for Stalin to exchange for a truce between China and Germany...... But at the same time, he put himself in the position of a traitor, and now Anastasia can openly accuse him of betraying the interests of the Russian nation! Although the woman made the same promise to Hitler and Luo Yaoguo, it was kept secret after all, unlike the Wuhan Treaty and the Zurich Treaty. If there was any failure in this move of Stalin, it was in this regard! If he could have persuaded the Bolshevik Party and the Soviet people to continue to support him, he should have had a chance to turn the situation around, and from this point of view he was completely right. β
"I'm worried that Hitler actually agreed, what exactly did he want......" Ambassador Jensen, who had been silent, asked in a low voice. In fact, the answer to this question is already clear, but the ambassador still wants to get a clear answer from these two US Army think tanks.
"Needless to say, of course it's preparing for the next war!" Stilwell smoked his cigar and analyzed coldly: "Of course he is going to use his powerful fascist army to smash the two world empires of Britain and France." Otherwise, how could Hitler have spared the Bolsheviks, whom he hated the most? He must not want to waste time, waste his troops, and prepare Britain and France to deal with him. Anyway, now the Bolsheviks could no longer threaten his back, and Poland was weakened to the point of harmlessness. The huge territory obtained from the other side can provide enough food and industrial raw materials for the German army, perhaps oil is not enough. β
"Nope! The Germans had very abundant oil reserves. MacArthur sighed softly, "In the past two years, the Chinese have shipped half of their huge oil reserves, that is, about 10 million tons, to Europe and sold them to the Germans, and now Germany's strategic oil reserves are at least 15 million tons, Romania can also provide 1 million tons a year, and Germany's wartime oil consumption is at most 6 million tons, so the current reserves can last for three years!" As for the reserves of non-ferrous metals, as far as I know, they are also very sufficient, and the gains of the Germans in Sino-German cooperation are no less than those of China......"
"So, then, the Germans will start a war against Britain and France in the summer of 1938?" Ambassador Jensen took a deep breath, "What about China?" Will they follow Germany into the war? β
"Definitely!" MacArthur sighed, "Do you see those ecstatic Chinese?" The lions have already tasted the blood, they will not be satisfied with Siberia and Central Asia, the rich South Seas will definitely become their next target! It could even include the Philippines and Australia! Australia in particular...... If China gets that continent, the next thousand years will be the era of the yellow race! β
"Nope! No, the United States will not sit idly by, we have the strongest production capacity in the world, and the factories in China and Germany together are not more than half of those of the United States! Stilwell looked up, his upper body straight, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes. Moreover, there are forces within China to resist the fascist rule of the Kuomintang, and there is also China's old enemy Japan in Asia that can be used by us! β
MacArthur took a puff of his cigarette and said with some difficulty: "Professor Einstein and Professor Lawrence jointly submitted a report on uranium-235 to President Roosevelt last month!" According to the results of Professor Meitner's research published at the end of last year, this substance produces a terrible phenomenon called 'nuclear fission'...... According to the calculations of Albert Einstein and Lawrence, among other top physicists, a few kilograms or tens of kilograms of such material could create a superbomb that would destroy New York! He exhaled silently, his face gloomy and terrifying. Since 1933 or 1934, China has invested a lot of financial and human resources in refining high-purity uranium-235, and now they probably have 100 kilograms or 200 kilograms of high-purity uranium-235! Even they already have this super bomb! Joseph, although we can master this kind of bomb in the future, can we risk the lives of Americans to fight a war with the Chinese using nuclear fission bombs? β
β¦β¦
And just when the three American friends were distressed that China might be the first to master the superweapon of the atomic bomb. In a secret room in the Moshan Presidential Palace, the five bigwigs of the Kuomintang are holding a secret meeting! Well, of course, Luo Yiqun and Luo Yaoguo were also at the meeting, and the one who sat in the convertible to participate in the victory parade was, of course, a stand-in.
The current five bigwigs are Luo Yiqun, Xu Chongzhi, Luo Yaoguo, Sun Ke, and Chiang Kai-shek, who has just returned from Manila...... Among them, the chairman of the Kuomintang and the president belong to Luo Yiqun, and the other four are vice chairmen, in addition to Xu Chongzhi also serving as the president of the legislative council, Sun Ke is the vice president, Luo Yaoguo is the powerful chief of the general staff of the National Defense Forces, and Chiang Kai-shek ...... He was the head of the Overseas Department of the Kuomintang. Today's meeting was proposed by the overseas minister, who has returned from overseas for a few days.
Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied that Luo Yaoguo was able to agree to the arrangement of convening a meeting of the bigwigs proposed by him at such a moment. After all, after the easy victory over the Soviet Union, the prestige of the Luo family's uncles and nephews has risen unprecedentedly, and their power has been as stable as a rock! Because it involves the issue of going south, Foreign Minister Wang Jingwei and Navy Minister Chen Si have also been called to attend today's meeting.
"This great victory is really exciting, and it has greatly increased the prestige of our country, and since then the Republic of China has become a first-class power in the world! And as a first-class power, she can't let her people be bullied overseas! The tiny kingdom of Siam must pay the price for their atrocities! I suggest that the Republic of China immediately declare war on the Kingdom of Siam! Set foot on Siam with an army of 100,000 and avenge my compatriots who were murdered by the Siamese mob! β
Chiang Kai-shek raised the pitch very high at the beginning, and took out a posture of wanting to destroy Siam, and after saying this, he looked at the other bigwigs who were attending the meeting. Xu Chongzhi still looked tired, sitting there yawning for a long time, and he didn't know if he heard Lao Jiang's words? Sun Ke furrowed his brows tightly, as if he was thinking hard. Luo Yiqun was just looking at his nephew's face, and he looked like a puppet! Luo Yaoguo is expressionless, it seems that after staying in the top position for a long time, the kung fu of being happy and angry has finally been practiced.
"The total population of Siam is less than 10 million, the army is only 200,000 to 300,000, there are no armored units, and there are few artillery; The Air Force is equipped with dozens of F1 fighters of Chinese production; , the navy is also very weak, originally ordered a 'Polish Legion' class armored ship, but later canceled the order due to the economic crisis, and now there are no warships to mention. Chiang Kai-shek looked confident, and he shouted: "President, as long as you send me 100,000 soldiers, within three months, I will guarantee that Siam will be destroyed!" If you can't complete the task, I, Jiang, am willing to come and see you! β
Luo Yaoguo listened and looked at the old Chiang sitting opposite him, since Chiang Kai-shek formed the Nanyang Youth League, he was guessing Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, this old Chiang Kai-shek could not live under the people for a long time after all, maybe he saw that there was no hope in the country, so he wanted to fight Siam's idea and establish a "Chiang dynasty" there, right?
"Comrade Zhaoming, how are the negotiations between Britain, France and Japan going?" Luo Yiqun saw that his nephew didn't react, as if he didn't plan to speak, so he turned his head and asked Foreign Minister Wang Jingwei. "Siam is a small country, so naturally there is nothing to worry about, but Britain, France, and Japan all have their own interests in Siam, and since the Siam incident, the three countries have united to negotiate with us...... Siam is not connected to us on land. No matter how strong our army is, it is much stronger than the navy, Britain and Japan combined. β
Wang Jingwei stood up, his elegant face also showed a look of embarrassment, he nodded and said: "What the President said is extremely true, Britain, France and Japan have adopted the method of joint negotiations on the Siam issue, and resolutely oppose us forcing the Siamese royal family and government to step down, and even more oppose our use of force to resolve the Siam issue. And Britain also sent the battlecruiser Counterattack to Singapore at the beginning of this year......"
"What does the Navy think? Is this counterattack a threat to us? Luo Yiqun asked the Minister of the Navy Chen Si again.
"Report to the President, of course one counterattack is not our opponent, although our battleships are still in Europe, but five aircraft carriers are not a joke! Our aircraft carriers are now carrying the latest BF-109 and A-4 Thunderhawk naval types, not to mention a battle cruiser, even if it is ten or eight, it will be for nothing! Chen Si patted his chest there and packed the ticket, of course their navy was in favor of going south. The Navy played a supporting role in the First World War with the Soviet Union, but the Navy sang the leading role in the south!
"Fuwen, what do you think?" After listening to the Minister of the Navy's suggestion, Luo Yiqun finally couldn't help but ask his nephew's opinion. And Luo Yaoguo was obviously still hesitating, he pondered for a moment before nodding slowly. "Now that the war against the Soviet Union has just come to an end, China has not yet completed the receipt of all the spoils, let alone digested it, so it is indeed a little early to advance southward, but it is possible to form a Siam Army first. In addition, the southward march to Siam will certainly violate the bottom line of Britain and France, and in case of a war between China and Britain and France, we must consider Germany's attitude, because without Germany joining, we are likely to fall into a long war with Britain, France, and Japan, which is undesirable! β
Chiang Kai-shek nodded, Siam is not a problem, but Britain, France and Japan cannot but consider it, although they are not opponents in a land battle, but the result of the naval battle is difficult to say. He then asked: "Chief of General Staff Luo, do you have any plans for digesting the results of the war against the Soviet Union?" Is there any way to find out Germany's attitude? β
Luo Yaoguo thought about it, and expressed the idea in his heart at this bigwig meeting, he said: "This time we got tens of millions of square kilometers of territory from the Soviet Union, and it is unrealistic to incorporate all of them into China at once, after all, there are still some ...... in many territories To clean up. So my idea is that the less populated region of Eastern Siberia can be annexed directly! We have set up several new provinces there, which can be Xijiang Province, Beijiang Province, Beihai Province, Hung Yen Province. Among them, the province of Western Xinjiang includes a large territory on the east bank of the Yenisei River bordering the Russian Empire; Northern Xinjiang Province is the vast Siberian region in the northeast of the Far East, up to the Chukotka Peninsula across the sea from Alaska in the United States. Beihai Province is located between Western Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang Provinces, with Lake Baikal as the center, and the provincial capital is located in Irkutsk. Hung Yen Province is a merger of the former Soviet Far East north of the Amur River, including Chita Oblast and Amur River Oblast, which can be regarded as a developed area of the Soviet Far East, rich in resources and good agricultural production conditions, and can be used as a key resettlement area together with the Yenisei River in Western Xinjiang Province and the Baiga Lake region in Beihai Province, and strive to relocate 30 million migrants from densely populated areas in the interior to those areas in the next 10 years. To that end, we could also set up a colonial ministry at the centre to be responsible for immigration. β
ββ¦β¦ As for Central Asia, the situation is much more complicated, because there is a large population and problems of ethnic and religious beliefs are prominent, and it cannot be dealt with as simply as in Siberia, otherwise it will leave many hidden dangers for future generations. My proposal is to establish a colonial power in Central Asia - a republic of Central Asia. The country was not an independent state, similar to the Indian Empire under British rule or the Kingdom of Annam under French rule. The Central Asian republics had a prime minister who was nominally elected by the citizens of the Central Asian republic and a governor who was sent by the national government. Wait until the time is ripe to consider whether to annex directly. β
ββ¦β¦ In addition, a small state of the Far Eastern Republic was to be established in the Amur River valley in the Far East, a small part of the territory of this country was north of the Amur River, and most of the land ceded to China in the Sino-Soviet Peace Treaty was ceded to Japan in the Japan-Soviet Peace Treaty! This country will be ruled by the Naka-g, acting as a buffer state between Eastern Siberia and the Japanese Far East. β
"And then there's the German attitude...... I will personally go to Berlin and coordinate my position with Hitler in person. If Germany supports China in a war with Britain and France, then we are ready to go south! β
