Gangcun Ningji did not notice that the Wehrmacht was quietly releasing water to the Japanese army, and after that meeting, the fighting spirit was formed, and the telegram was transmitted to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. **

In order to better cooperate with the headquarters, Li Zongren even lost all the troops to Bai Chongxi, and he took some of the senior generals to the imperial capital for a meeting. After Li Zongren came back, Bai Chongxi brought another group of people over.

"Big deals......" After returning from the imperial capital, Bai Chongxi found Li Zongren. Those words that were held in his heart, he really didn't vomit or be unhappy. But he didn't want to show his cowardice in the imperial capital, so he waited until he came back to find his old friend to complain.

"Delin Gong, I joined the 'Guangxi Student Army' when Bai Jiansheng was in Xinhai. It's been more than 20 years, right?! In the past 20 years, he has not given up the title of 'Little Zhuge '. To be honest, sometimes I'm a little complacent. ”

Saying that, Bai Chongxi looked at the smiling Li Zongren and sighed slightly: "The last time I went to the imperial capital, I didn't feel much yet. I just think that this Tiger Commander-in-Chief has talent and luck. The achievement of the general trend is a matter of course. It wasn't until I went to the imperial capital this time that I felt the gap between me and the commander-in-chief. ”

Li Zongren's smile was gone, and all that was left was a bitter smile. Speaking of which, how could he Li Zongren not be like this?! It is said that in the years before the commander-in-chief of the Tiger did not enter the customs, Li Zongren was also the king of Guangxi.

Whether it was the red color passing by, or the Central Army who wanted to make oil and water, they did not take advantage of him. Jiang Zhongzheng still has to take into account his Li Zongren's thoughts in some aspects.

At that time, Li Zongren didn't dare to say that it was calling for wind and rain, but it was okay to stomp his feet on this land.

But compared with the commander-in-chief's fists and feet, Li Zongren suddenly found that his proud capital was completely unpalatable.

Troops?! When the Wehrmacht entered the customs, there were more than 1 million troops. At that time, even if the Gui family even counted the militia group, I don't know if there were a million troops.

And the Wehrmacht are all veterans who have been killed in real battles.

Speaking of combat effectiveness?! The Japanese in Korea had lost their temper, and the Soviets were forced by him to send Vladivostok back. How about combat effectiveness, you say?!

The Air Force is even more unspeakable. The total number of air forces in the Gui system is less than a fraction of that of the Wehrmacht. After Li Zongren visited the Wehrmacht, he actually had a sense of heroic twilight at a young age.

has worked hard for most of his life, but it is not as good as a hairy young man's hard work for several years. It made him feel mixed feelings.

"Jiansheng...... Why are you arrogant?! Indeed, the commander-in-chief is no ordinary man. Otherwise, it would not be able to support such a huge force as the Wehrmacht. Li Zongren sighed: "Actually, I was discouraged when I visited the Wehrmacht for the first time. I feel that even if we catch up for a few more decades, we will not be able to keep up with the pace of the Wehrmacht. ”

Bai Chongxi didn't speak, in fact, he saw it this way at the time. After the first contact with the National Defense Force, Bai Chongxi came back and explained to the old man of his descendant that he was going to study at the National Defense University.

He was ready for the Gui family to be incorporated into the Wehrmacht. The gap between the two sides from all sides. Big enough to make Bai Chongxi desperate. It was also at that time that Bai Chongxi began to believe that the Wehrmacht definitely had the strength to fight the Japanese army.

At the subsequent meeting where Li Zongren proposed to merge into the National Defense Forces, Bai Chongxi chose to support it without hesitation. In terms of implementation, the recognition of the two bigwigs of the Gui family to the National Defense Force is the reason why the Gui family was completely integrated into the National Defense Force.

Under the complete letting go of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. The entire Katsura system began to undergo earth-shaking changes. In the past, Li Zongren never dared to imagine that he would have such a majestic demeanor as he is now, and he could chase and fight with hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.

In the past, Bai Chongxi did not dare to imagine that he would have the opportunity to command more than 300 of the world's most advanced fighters, tanks and more than 100 artillery pieces of more than caliber in combat.

These two never imagined that one day they would be able to take the children of the Gui family to crisscross the land of China with the heads of the Japanese army, and the South China Military Region, composed of the Gui family and the Yunnan Army, achieved great fame in the fight to expel the Japanese invaders.

But all of this is possible today.

"Jiansheng...... Let's just follow the commander-in-chief's plan and fight well! Li Zongren used a sentence. As the end of the conversation between the two.

"Let's ...... still doesn't have the vision of the overall situation, otherwise he won't be confused by the trivial matter of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Li Zongren's gaze drifted out of the room and looked at the battlefield where the cannon roared.

"We just need to fight hard and see if we can do what the commander-in-chief said: Drink horses in Tokyo Bay!"

The Japanese are not stupid. In fact, the South China Military Region's attack slowed down, and they quickly noticed it. This situation was handed to Okamura Ninji's desk along with the radio waves.

"Recently, the movement of the South China Military Region of the National Defense Force in front of the position of our wing has been abnormal. The position was not attacked as before, and the number of attacks seemed to be uninterrupted. And with the help of fighters and heavy artillery, its combat intensity is different from the past......"

"The troops on the other side of our department. The shape is different. The intensity of the attack is not as strong as before......"

If such news had come from a position, Okamura might have thought that the Wehrmacht in that position could no longer hold it. The intensity of the attack was reduced in order to reduce losses.

But almost eighty percent of the positions have received such news. Okamura was even more stupid, knowing that this was the opposing troops, and received an order to start lowering the intensity of the attack.

Okamura didn't understand why the Wehrmacht chose to reduce the intensity of the attack at this time. To this end, he intensified patrolling of his positions in various places in order to deny the Wehrmacht an opportunity.

At the same time, the investigation of Shanghai has gradually intensified, for fear that he will be made dumplings by accident.

Up to now, the Japanese army has withdrawn nearly 200,000 troops to Southeast Asia. The Southeast Asian defenders who have been brought in have grown to more than 200,000.

For their own soldiers, the Japanese army naturally tried their best to settle them. As for those coerced forces in Southeast Asia, who cares about their lives or deaths?! Piles of people pulled over like a pig cage.

Now the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia...... And so the Japanese occupation areas were doing their best to recruit soldiers, and then these recruited recruits were sent to China after simple training.

"Your Excellency, Commander, you may have a lot of worries." Chief of the General Staff Matsui Taikuro said respectfully to Okamura: "We have received information that the Wehrmacht troops in Shanghai are assisting in the reconstruction of the city. ”

"The Battle of Shanghai. Although the Wehrmacht was victorious, it also came at a great cost. His Excellency General Shunroku Hata inflicted at least 200,000 casualties on the Wehrmacht, and their two major military regions in East China and North China suffered heavy losses. Now is the time of remediation. It is unlikely that the former combat power will be formed for at least three months. ”

Okamura nodded, signaling that he knew about it. But then he said to the Chief of the General Staff: "Don't underestimate this Tiger, and don't underestimate the Wehrmacht!" The generals of our empire, if they suffer losses, they will suffer here. ”

"Your Excellency Shunroku Hata, and the Navy. It is precisely because of the underestimation of the enemy, or the underestimation of the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht, that such a disastrous result has been caused. What a lesson from the past! Let us take caution and be careful. ”

"Hay!" Matsui Taikuro was taken aback. I unconsciously felt a little contemptive. Thinking of the fate of Shunroku Hata and the others, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

None of the generals who fell under the guns of the Wehrmacht were more stupid than him. But these people either committed suicide or were killed. The worst is Shunroku Hatata, who was captured alive without dying and became a joke among the emperors.

"Anyway. The actions of the Wehrmacht nevertheless gave us the opportunity to replace our troops with coercive servants. Okamura smiled and said, "Since the intensity of the attack is no longer so strong, let those Southeast Asian coercive troops gradually take over the position!" Each division left a wing as a wartime inspector. The rest, just withdraw and prepare to go to Southeast Asia! ”

"Hail!!" Matsui Taikuro replied loudly, and when he saw that Okamura had no other orders, he bowed and turned to leave.

On the Chinese battlefield, the Wehrmacht and the Japanese were in a contest, while in Europe the British were waiting for the German attack in fear.

Although France was defeated on the European battlefield, the roots remained. With the help of partisans and spies. Britain finally figured out that Germany had made its own aircraft carrier.

The last time they suffered heavy losses, it was the German aircraft carrier fleet. Although it was known that the Germans had already built an aircraft carrier and put it into real combat. But the British do not know exactly how many aircraft carriers Germany has, how many frigates there are, and the British.

Worst of all, the Germans were silent again after that attack. Except for routine aircraft cruises. There was no more attack on the British.

This is what frightens the British the most. As long as the Germans start fighting, then the British will always be able to figure out the research and development of the British.

But this kind of movement immediately retracts, but he is unable to launch a counterattack on it is the most fatal. Dunkirk was now in German hands, meaning they could attack the British mainland whenever they wished.

Now the British can do it. It is to strengthen patrols and preparedness. At the same time, it asked the United States for more support to ensure the security of its own homeland.

Compared to the hearts of the British. The Germans were not in a hurry. They methodically carried out their own manufacturing and training programs, and the only aircraft carrier, the Count Zeppelin, has now become almost a training ship for the Navy.

A large number of air force pilots were personally selected by Hitler and then incorporated into aircraft carrier formations. Since the German Navy now has only one aircraft carrier, a large number of aircraft carrier take-off and landing training can only be carried out on the Count Zeppelin.

Fortunately, the sister ship of the Count Zeppelin is also nearing completion, and as long as it passes the test and enters active service, it will greatly alleviate the situation that the Navy is now embarrassed by even training ships.

"The Japanese have more than 30 aircraft carriers, and they have achieved sea and air supremacy through aircraft carriers! Even after harvesting Southeast Asia, then as long as we Germans have more than fifteen aircraft carriers, isn't the Atlantic Ocean the inland sea of our German Empire?! ”

Hitler finally couldn't help it, and the gradual clarity of the war situation gradually revealed his ambition and arrogance. In fact, it's not just him, it's the entire German team that has such a phenomenon.

Although there were some setbacks in the initial attack on the English mainland, they were quickly overcome by the navy. Everyone believed that as long as the navy kept up, then Germany would be invincible.

"German warriors! I want you to take down England and press that fat cigar-smoking man in front of me! I want him to sign the surrender agreement with his own hands! ”

"Hey! Hitler!! "This is the newly built First Air Fleet of the German Navy, and Hitler naturally did not hesitate to reward them for their achievements in England.

A large area of dedicated space was built, and at the same time the construction of five aircraft carriers was put on the agenda. And the fighters adapted to the aircraft carrier are also being modified in order to better implement the strategic plan of the Führer. All the supplies of the whole of Germany were tilted towards the navy to the maximum. In order to fulfill Germany's ambition to unify Europe.

The Germans were gearing up, and the British were panicking. The Americans, on the other hand, are hesitating.

"President, I think we should support Britain right now." It was the newly appointed U.S. Secretary of the Navy Frank Murphy who spoke. Knox.

He was no stranger to the current President Roosevelt, because the Republican, who had the rank of artillery colonel during World War I, had been in contact with Roosevelt's uncle, Theodore Roosevelt, in his early years. Roosevelt was familiar. Even the former is a staunch supporter of the latter.

"The Germans have now built aircraft carriers, and according to the deal between the Soviets and Germany mentioned in our intelligence, they have enough resources to build at least six or more aircraft carriers. This is extremely bad for the United States! "Frank was a very strong supporter of the war.

"The best way now is to kill the Germans in Europe while they haven't built aircraft carriers yet! That's what is best for America......"

"Your Excellency, I just want to remind you: now the United States itself is still facing the threat of up to twenty aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy in the Pacific!" Secretary Henry Brown, who had been personally ordered by Roosevelt to return to the War Department. Lewis. Stimson stood up and said loudly.

"Indeed, for the allies of the United Kingdom we need to consider. But we need to think more about the threats we face. Japan has now occupied Southeast Asia, and a steady stream of resources is being sent to Japan. ”

"And Japan now has more than 20 aircraft carriers and nearly 100 destroyers, which is an even greater threat to us! We can't turn a blind eye! ”

Frank blushed and said to the Minister of War, "Henry! I'm not saying that the Pacific doesn't matter, but we in Britain need our assistance more now......"

"I don't see what the British can do. But at least the coalition government sank two aircraft carriers and four battleships. From a strategic point of view, they have greatly reduced the Japanese threat to us. ”

After a pause, Lewis stood up and said loudly: "And they also rescued some of our soldiers trapped in the Philippines, including the captured General Jonathan!" And the British, I don't see any victories for them, except for the chickens and dogs that were beaten in Dunkirk! ”

Lewis's meaning is very clear, if we support the British, then the British will have to fight for themselves, right?! Asia, you fought in a mess, your own battleships were sunk.

The United States is also not doing well in this regard, so there is no need to say more. But how the hell did you fight the European war?! Hundreds of thousands of people were driven to Dunkirk. It's like a dumpling and desperately escaping.

But that's it, you still have the face to say that this is a "victorious retreat". The name is good, but everyone knows that this is a rout.

One has no navy and has such a record, while the other has a good navy but has been beaten by a sneak attack by an aircraft carrier. This is not to blame Stimson for not wanting to give support to the British.

"Your Excellency. My idea is not to provide military support to Britain for the time being. But weapons and warships can support them. Stimson turned to Roosevelt, who was seated.

"We need to make sure that the American homeland is not attacked, and second, we need to make sure that our allies who can win the war have enough strength to win the war and support us. In the end, it's to help those other allies regain lost ground......"

Stimson's words made Roosevelt nod his head. Originally, he also meant to support Britain first. But the successive bad news in Britain made the president extremely suspicious of the British's combat capabilities.

Now the United States has mobilized. But it still takes a lot of time to train into an army. Moreover, the production of military factories used to be half-starved and half-fed, and it will take time to enter high-intensity production.

"Your Excellency, I hope you will take into account that once Britain loses in the Atlantic or even the homeland is captured, then the Germans will directly threaten the United States, and who can guarantee that they will not attack the United States when they have acquired more resources and productivity?!"

Frank also shouted at Roosevelt. As the two argued, there was a sudden uproar in the conference room. Some people supported Henry's idea, arguing that the United States needed to be secured before anything else. To support, it is also to support the troops that can achieve victory, not to always lose battles.

Others supported Frank's view that if Germany defeated the British, they would run rampant across the Atlantic. This will be a great threat to the security of the United States.

"That's it! Don't even make any noise. Roosevelt looked at the noisy cabinet members and sighed: "Let the Navy's Atlantic Fleet go and see what the situation is like in Britain, and then we will evaluate the matter." ”

"If the British are ready to fight, then it is okay for us to provide them with some troop support. But if they really can't do anything about Germany, I won't let the American fighters go to their deaths. ”

Roosevelt glanced at the members of his cabinet and said, "As for the coalition government...... We still have to support, after all, they are dragging the Japanese army in Southeast Asia and it is very good to reduce our pressure in the Pacific......"
