The rise of the British Empire was due to an open eye. And the loneliness of the British Empire is largely due to their narrow way of thinking.

It is undeniable that the British Empire still has some family background. So much so that even after World War I and World War II, they were still able to become one of the world's great powers.

Those once glorious heritages have supported the last bit of glory of this empire. But it is also evident that the empire is aging very rapidly.

The manufacturing center is moving, and the colony is reading step by step. Without these supports, the fate of this isolated country outside Europe can be imagined.

Naturally, it was these impassioned crowds in parliament that triggered all this.

"I'll call the United Axe and make our request. As for these Indians, I am not going to receive them either. Churchill rubbed his brow and said, "Let this be the end of the matter, send someone to inform them." ”

The parliamentarians saw that Churchill was not in high spirits, so they could only stop talking. Subsequently, the Cabinet sent an official to the hotel where the Indians were staying to inform them that the British Empire would not accept any requests from India for negotiations or meetings.

Let them go back wherever they come.

"What?! The British Empire does not accept our request to meet?! Nehru's face had become extremely ugly in his office, and he had at first thought that the British would never be kind to him.

But he also thought that he only needed to meet the British and pay enough. Then the British will not give up India, after all, India's output is enough to make the British take risks.

Unfortunately, Nehru did not know that the British Empire had already negotiated a partition with the Wehrmacht and the United States. Indeed, the monopoly of India's interests is something that everyone wants.

But it was the British Empire, not themselves, that benefited the most from India's interests. If India is carved up directly, then the empire will benefit, and the parliament will benefit itself.

It's not just India, it's the interests of the entire Middle East. Everyone can share. In contrast, India's little interest is not seen by them.

"General Secretary, what should we do now?! Do you need to organize an army......" The staff member beside him asked hesitantly to Nehru. Nehru is now the general secretary of the Indian National Congress Party.

At the same time, he was also the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian National Army. It is a pity that the Indian National Army can only gather less than 150,000 men even if it is mobilized.

Such a force, let alone facing such a strong army as the Wehrmacht. Even those little miscellaneous cards facing Southeast Asia may not be enough.

Although India has a certain industrial base, the British are very cunning and do not leave any arms industry in India. As a result, India is unable to produce its own guns and ammunition.

And this problem will be fatal in the event of a war. This means that India's attrition on the battlefield cannot be resupplied. Fortunately, he said that he left some weapons and equipment, as well as some weapons and equipment captured from the British.

Finally, Nehru had that little bit of confidence.

But this trace of confidence will not be much greater than panting. In fact, Nehru's own true thinking was that if war was inevitable, the first thing he had to do was to move his entire family away.

He had all the locations in mind, and it was in neutral Switzerland. There, at least, there will be no fighting. At least, his family can survive......

"Notify the High Command now, and start assembling the army now! The whole country entered a state of combat readiness, and at the same time ordered the ministries to start entering the border with the countries of Southeast Asia to set up positions......"

Nehru took a deep breath and then issued dozens of orders. The staff around him recorded the orders one by one, and then hurriedly walked out the door and began to issue orders.

Nehru, on the other hand, spent half a day in the office, and after several circles, he gritted his teeth and said to the secretary next to him: "Go back immediately!" Inform Madame to leave India now with the children! ”

Nehru took a deep breath, the decision was difficult for him. Because of this decision, it means that he is likely to become a betrayer.

You sent your family away, what would anyone else think?! Gandhi, in particular, was fiercely opposed to the capture of Bose.

However, due to his persistence and persuasion, there was also the support of a large number of other members of the Congress Party and the elders. Gandhi was forced to acquiesce, but he was adamantly opposed to Bose's execution.

And if, at this time, he sent his family away. So what would Gandhi think?! Maybe he'll just let Bowes out and let himself go......

Nehru smiled wryly, his own arrogance had failed him. That's when he began to consider whether he wanted to go to China to meet the tiger.

Perhaps, a glimmer of hope for India's survival can be obtained from him. Or rather, a glimmer of hope that he will survive.

"I'm going to the Soviet Union tomorrow, and it's not bad that kid from Zimuden for so long. It's better for him and the troops to fix it, and it's better for me to deal with the complicated situation myself. ”

In Tu Mengben's house, Master Pao drank tea and said to Tu Mengben after dinner. The latter nodded and didn't say much, both father and son were killed in the sea of corpses and blood.

Knowing that there are no eyes on the battlefield and hating the battlefield is something that can happen to soldiers at any time. Wearing this military uniform, both father and son have this awareness.

They won't say anything about caution, attention, or anything like that.

"Dad, the situation in Moscow is complicated. I am sure that the Allies will storm. But the Germans were not without countermeasures. We have to help the Allies, but we can't afford to lose ourselves......"

"Don't worry, it's Lao Maozi who is the main attack now. I guess Ike also hid this thought, so he let the Soviets fight desperately. The cannon master smiled and said, "Lao Maozi has to fight, if the Germans really get that thing out." smashed it on Lao Maozi's head. ”

"Unlucky, in the end, it's still the old hair. That's why they're going to fight at any cost now. ”

Tu Menghu nodded, on the one hand, Britain and the United States did not want Germany to use such weapons in war. On the other hand, they were keen to see more to be lost by the Soviet Union.

Therefore, under this mentality, the fighting situation in the Allied forces can be imagined.

"Zimudeng has sent a telegram, and the situation is not good anywhere. Lao Maozi was crazy to beat the Germans, and in the morning went over a regiment. There was less than one company left in the night, and I don't know how many people they had to die to beat the Germans......"

Pao Ye sighed, put down the teacup and said softly: "Lao Maozi was also forced to the end this time, and they have no way to retreat now." I can only keep fighting hard......"

Tu Mengben did not respond to this topic, but said directly: "Our troops in Southeast Asia should also move, Uncle Delin, I guess I'm impatient to wait." It's time to launch ......"

"Well, it's not a big deal over there. Delin moved casually, and these Ah San had to lie down. "Master Pao is very sure of Li Zongren's ability.

But seeing him smiling, he said to Tu Mengben: "Let's take care of our own affairs now, and the German neighbors over there in India will help us take the lead." ”

Tu Menghu nodded, and he also admitted Li Zongren's methods. It's a figure who rose from the warlord melee many years ago, and it's not easy to deal with India's second-rate means and second-rate army?!

For this, Tu Mengben was never worried. The father and son then chatted a few words, and the gun master asked about the situation of the book. And Tu Mengben also gave a general introduction.

Afterwards, Pao Ye went back to the house to prepare his bags.

"Is my father going to the USSR?!" After Tu Menghu returned to his room, Federica, who had already put the child to sleep, hugged Tu Mengben from behind.

"Yes, I'll leave tomorrow. Big Brother Muden stayed in Moscow for too long, and his father always had to replace him. And we are allies, and what needs to be taken into account is the overall interests of the entire alliance......"

Federica didn't speak, she just hugged Tu Mengben tightly and her body trembled uncontrollably. Tu Mengben froze his movements, and it took a while before he turned around and hugged Federica.

"I will try to accommodate German prisoners of war, and I will not treat them harshly." Tu Mengben hugged Federica, the woman who had been following him had never made any requests.

But Tu Mengben knew what she was thinking at the moment.

Ever since she and Germany became enemies, Federica had been in a state of helplessness. Fortunately, Tu Mengben's strategy has always been to avoid conflict and maintain contacts with Germany.

This made her feel a little more at ease. But she knows very well that in the end, the two countries will face each other head-on. In this war, this is unavoidable.

One is her homeland, the one he grew up in, educated and proud of. The other is the homeland of the man she loves so much. And after living here for many years, she has also fallen in love with the country.

The last thing she wants, the last thing she wants, is for these two countries that are so important to her to fight together. Whoever suffers will be heartbroken.

"Promise me! Anyway, please protect those people......" Federica looked up, tears in her eyes. Looking at this woman who has followed her for many years, but no matter how tired she is, she has never shed tears.

Tu Mengben felt sad for no reason. In fact, he has always felt guilty about Federica. Since Federica came with him, almost all of Federica has been silently paying for him.

For him, Federica came from Germany to a strange China. For him, Federica forced herself to learn Chinese, learn Chinese culture, and even learn embroidery.

For his sake, Federica stayed at home without complaining. Except for the occasional trip to Baiyun Temple to chat with some familiar elders, and the occasional gathering with Germans in China, I can't do anything.

In order to slaughter Meng Ben, Federica gave up a lot. But Tu Mengben didn't even spend much time with her, and many times he even involuntarily ignored Federica.

It's not what he wants, and the country is in ruins. The country faces the most important and critical moment of rebirth. He must not be distracted in the slightest.

"All these years, I can't stand you." Tu Mengben stroked Federica's hair and sighed, "When this is over, I will compensate you." ”

"When the time comes, I'll compensate you for a honeymoon. Compensate you for lost time......"

Federica didn't speak, she was quietly enjoying it. She knew that this was the gentleness that this tiger had rarely seen. This fierce tiger, who is good at fighting and bloodshed, has never known warmth.

He doesn't say anything love, he only expresses his love quietly, ** and clumsily. But she could feel the tenderness behind those words.

Perhaps, marrying this man himself lost a lot. But Federica firmly believes that she has also gained a lot. The men of Europe, ostensibly a wife. But behind the scenes, there are countless lovers.

And in China, such cases are not uncommon. Didn't Zhang Xueliang take his lover Miss Zhao Si, who is a secretary, and live under the same roof with his wife Yu Fengzhi? !

But only his own man has never had any lace scandals. Federica somehow at this time, it suddenly occurred to her that if this man hadn't married her, she would probably be misunderstood for a same-surname love, right?!

Thinking of this, Federica burst out laughing for no reason.

"What are you laughing at for no reason?!" Tu Mengben looked helplessly at his wife, who was still crying bitterly just now, but asked in surprise with a smile at this time.

"I just thought if I didn't marry you. Probably you haven't been married yet, so will you be mistaken for a same-surname love if you don't get married?! Federica tugged on Tu Mengben's belt and chuckled: "You know, the great Alexander the Great is also ......."

Looking at this annoying little goblin, Tu Mengben kissed her viciously on the mouth. Sealed all her next words in her mouth.

"You'll find out tonight if I'm ......"

"Wowhaha...... Lao Tzu is all idle flowers! It's finally time to order!! Li Zongren was smiling very arrogantly in his headquarters, while his old partner Bai Chongxi looked at his old friend helplessly.

Bai Chongxi is now the governor of Zhejiang Province and will stay in Zhejiang Province for a few more years. After the political achievements come out, he will be transferred to the ** post. This time, he happened to have a holiday. So I came to visit my old friend.

"Jiansheng! You are truly my lucky star! Look, I'm going to have an offensive mission right now! "Recently, in the rectification of government and military affairs in Southeast Asia, Li Zongren has been idle.

Originally, he hoped to go to Yuben to take charge of the attack, but after evaluating it, the United Political Axe decided that Southeast Asia had to be his choice. The United Political Axe is now in short supply, and it is rare that Li Zongren has experience in serving in government affairs.

So he was arrested without saying a word, and Lin Sen directly ordered him to be in charge of Southeast Asian affairs. This made Li Zongren, who wanted to go to Yuben for a walk, very dissatisfied.

But Lin Sen is an old qualification, and after a stinking scolding that splits his head and covers his face, Li Zongren can only pinch his nose and admit it. But behind the scenes, he sent no less than ten letters to the General Staff asking for war telegrams.

Sprinkling, cheating, threatening, inducement...... and so on, in order to let Su Zongzhe give him an attack order. Lao Li has been in the Wehrmacht for a long time, and he has also been contaminated with the breath of an old naughty boy.

Seeing that Qi Mudeng's gang of shameless people could be mixed up, Lao Li directly lost his face and changed his equipment and went to the war without saying a word. What's the use of being cheeky?! When you win the battle, you have the cheekiness. Everything else is for the military.

"I said De Lingong, are you so happy that you're just messing around in a fight?!" Bai Chongxi smiled helplessly: "With the little strength of India, I estimate that they will disperse if they rush up." ”

"With their little ability, I don't think it's enough for you to toss. At most, it's enjoyable, and it's over. ”

Bai Chongxi's words made Li Zongren sigh with emotion: "Jiansheng! You are a full man, you don't know how hungry you are! I don't like to deal with government affairs all day, so I just want to make some money to fight......"

"But who told me to be the provincial chairman of Gui Province?! So he asked Chairman Lin to arrest him, and he forced me to stay here in Southeast Asia. Do you think I'm uncomfortable?! ”

Saying that, Li Zongren said with emotion: "Jiansheng! You say, let's handle government affairs. Can Chairman Lin handle it well?! The national development plan has the vision and courage of Premier Yan?! ”

Bai Chongxi paused for a moment, then shook his head. In this regard, he is extremely self-aware. Although he is called Xiao Zhuge by others, dealing with the military affairs of a province has already drained his energy.

If you want to govern a country, you have to go to the extent that the current coalition has developed. Bai Chongxi couldn't even think of it. All along, he thought it was a miracle.

Officially, because of this kind of self-shame, the arrogant Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were willing to be included in the sequence of the National Defense Force and the United Political Axe.

In the ensuing fusion, they saw why this political axe, this army, was so powerful. The huge centripetal force, the ideal that countless people strive for.

Let their once cool blood slowly burn again.

"Do my duty, do my duty. Don't seek to leave a name in history, but ask for a lifetime without regrets! Bai Chongxi was silent for a while, and said this to his old friend.

Li Zongren didn't answer, he stood up and slowly gave a military salute to his old friend. The two have worked together for many years. Even many times it only takes a look, a movement.

We already know each other's minds.

"When I can rise in China, you and I will raise a glass to congratulate again!" Bai Chongxi was accustomed to his surname and wanted to give Li Zongren a military salute back, but then remembered that he was no longer a soldier.

He looked at Li Zongren silently, and slowly said this sentence: "Fight for the country, never regret it!" ”

"Fight for the country and never regret it!!" Li Zongren roared out these words, and for a moment he suddenly felt his hot blood surging from his whole body to the top of his head. The burning made his face uncontrollable......
