Chapter 576: Planning
Chapter 576 Planning
As soon as Su Tong's words came out, Bai Chongxi, Li Zhongren and others had no dissenting opinions, and when they reached their position, they naturally would not be naΓ―ve to believe that there would be any eternal friendship between countries, even if something was eternal, there was only interests, nothing more.
However, when they thought that in the future, Huaxia was very likely to fight with a country like the United States, which is the world's first-class in terms of industry, agriculture, politics and economy, and their hearts were still heavy, after all, Huaxia's foundation was still too thin.
After a long time, Li Zongren saw that the atmosphere was too depressing, and he had the intention to relieve the dull atmosphere and said: "Jianming, I heard that some time ago you approved the formation of a separate women's airborne battalion in the newly formed Second Airborne Division, and the domestic newspapers have all turned this matter upside down, saying that you are a ruthless person who destroys flowers with hot hands, a ruthless president, and so on."
Su Tong smiled helplessly, "I'm also angry, a few days ago, there were always people talking about my daughter-in-law through newspapers and media, saying that I don't respect women, I want to restore the status of women, and women also have the right to participate in politics, etc." In a fit of rage, I ordered a battalion of female soldiers to be conscripted and stuffed into the airborne division, didn't they always say that men and women should be equal, and that women could do what men could do? Okay, then let Lao Tzu join the army to fight, and you know what happened later. β
"You" Jiang Baili shook his head helplessly, "You are always too impulsive to do things and don't think about the consequences, where are those people so easy to offend, they are purely a group of young ladies who have nothing to do, isn't it self-inflicted if you fight with them." Fortunately, it is not too late, Sakhalin Island has already been defeated, and there have been no major casualties in the women's barracks. β
Su Tong didn't care about Jiang Baili's accusations, who let those women's joint organizations eat and always talk about a few daughters-in-law of his family, buddies don't make a threat, you really treat buddies as sick cats. Is it so easy for women to participate in politics? Not to mention in China, where machismo is prevalent, and the United States, which claims to be free and democratic, will not be in power until the 21st century?
"They are right to demand the advancement of women, but everything must be done gradually, and the people must be given a psychological buffer time, and they cannot become fat in one go. They are indeed too anxious, and they are overkill. Li Zhongren shook his head, he also understood Su Tong very well. Some female parliamentarians and women's federations always talk about Su Tong's family, but they don't want to think about it, people are willing to live a good life, what qualifications do they have to mix blindly.
"Alright, let's not talk about all that." Su Tong waved his hand and said, "Let's discuss the German matter now." Although we announced that Brother Kensheng was going to Germany to put pressure on Roosevelt, since we had spoken out and the German government had responded, we had to go. Not only do you want to go, but you also have to go with great fanfare, Brother Jiansheng, as the chief of the general staff of the National Defense Forces, you naturally can't be too shabby when you go to visit a country, and you have to bring a delegation with you this time, and all the officers of the navy, army, and air force arms will be brought with you. We also have to put on a posture to let the whole world see how powerful our alliance with Germany is, and only then will those Americans and British who have their eyes on the top of their heads really take us to heart. β
"Also, Brother Jiansheng, you have to remember that you can cooperate with Hitler after you arrive in Germany, but you must not form any alliance with him, and although the Americans are also greedy compared to Hitler, at least they are still sensible. But Hitler can only be described as a madman, his ambition is also endless, we can cooperate with him, but the alliance absolutely cannot, you must remember this. Su Tong solemnly warned Bai Chongxi that he was afraid that after he arrived in Germany, he would impulsively sign an alliance with Germany that should not be signed, and it would not be good.
"Please rest assured, I will definitely pay attention," Bai Chongxi also solemnly assured Su Tong, and also used an honorific title.
"Well, it's good if you understand" Su Tong nodded and turned to Jiang Baili and said: "Gong Ning, according to intelligence, the Germans are actively mobilizing a large number of troops on the Eastern Front, and it seems that he is going to attack Soviet Russia." We also need to be prepared, this is a good opportunity that we have been looking forward to with great difficulty, if we don't take the opportunity to bite off a big piece of Lao Maozi's meat, how can we be worthy of the humiliation that our country has suffered in the past 100 years. Speaking of this, Su Tong's face showed a hint of hideousness.
Li Zongren said with some hesitation on the side: "Jianming, since we have recovered the land that was occupied by Lao Maozi, is it still necessary for us to participate in the affairs between Germany and Soviet Russia?" β
Su Tong smiled bitterly when he heard this, and Li Zongren's thoughts also represented the views of some people in the current government, who believed that since Huaxia had recovered the territory that had been occupied by Soviet Russia and restored its dignity and honor, it could "take it when it was good." Su Tong admitted that if there was no outbreak of World War II, the idea of these people would indeed not be wrong, but they did not know that in the next world war from Europe to Asia, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, 61 countries and regions and more than 2 billion people were involved in the war, and the combat area was 22 million square kilometers.
"Degong, your idea may have been right at other times, but now this situation is absolutely not good. As you saw in the First World War, a great country like ours in the whirlpool could not escape. Once Germany attacks Soviet Russia, if Soviet Russia wins, do you think Stalin will spare our country? And if Germany wins, we will have to face Hitler, the madman, directly, whether we want to fight or not, and the flames of war will be ignited directly within our borders, and then we will be in the midst of misery again, and we will now have no choice. β
Listening to Su Tong's words, everyone sighed, and everyone felt a sense of powerlessness, and the development of the country was like a boat sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Jiang Baili took a long breath, "Okay, I'll start to deploy troops to the front line of Mongolia and Xinjiang in a few days, and once the Soviet Union and Germany go to war, we will send troops together with the Russian Protector Army led by Alexei to solve Soviet Russia with Germany in one fell swoop." β
"By the way, is there any movement from the Japanese government right now?" Bai Chongxi was a little worried about the Japanese, "In case if the Japanese stab the Japanese in the back when Huaxia and Soviet Russia fight to the death, it will become a big joke." β
"I'm not too worried about the Japanese, our navy will only get stronger and stronger, and as long as our navy is there, the Japanese will never want to set foot on our soil again." Su Tong sneered disdainfully. Since the Huaxia Navy was formed, Su Tong had already removed Japan from the list of opponents who could threaten the survival of Huaxia, but thinking of this, Su Tong thought of Taiwan again, which became a thorn in the hearts of the Chinese people in later generations, and is still in the hands of the Japanese.
"Do you want to recover Taiwan now? If Taiwan is recovered now, will the Japanese bring in all the combined fleets and fight to the death with us? Su Tong knew in his heart that although the Japanese were driven out of Huaxia, the main force of his army still existed, and the strength of the combined fleet was not damaged too much. β
"Forget it, let's let them go first, and it's not too late for little Japan and the United States to start fighting, and then the buddy will clean him up." Su Tong sighed secretly in his heart, forcing himself to stop thinking about Taiwan
Chancellery Berlin, Germany
Dozens of German generals and marshals gathered in the large war room, and although they did not know what Hitler had summoned them to, everyone knew that such a meeting would not be easy.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Hitler, dressed in military uniform, walked into the conference room on time, his beloved Iron Cross of the Second Class still hanging on his left chest, his jet-black hair combed with his trademark hairstyle, and the mustache under his big nose was neatly trimmed, and his deep eyes were now shining with excitement.
"Hi Hitler"
The generals all extended their hands to give a Nazi salute to the FΓΌhrer, whom they had sworn allegiance.
"Generals, sit down," said Hitler, who was the first to sit in his chair.
"My generals, today I would like to announce to you the good news that the great "Barbarossa Plan" that we have been planning for half a year has finally been completed, and our empire has taken another big step on the road to revival. β
"Generals, I have always believed that "survival and destruction can only be confirmed in war", and the time has come to verify this truth. The Slavs have existed for too long, and now the time has come to eradicate them completely, my partners, will you support me? Hitler's expression suddenly became a little hysterical, and his hands kept waving.
The generals in the audience looked at each other one by one, and Lieutenant General Guderian, the commander of the armored forces, stood up boldly and said: "My Excellency, can you give us a detailed description of this Barbarossa plan?" β
"Uh," said Hitler, smiling and patting his head, "You see, I'm glad to be here, and I'm going to invite our army commander-in-chief, von Hitler. Marshal Brauchitsch explained the plan to everyone"
