In the Imperial Palace in Tokyo in 1933, Emperor Hirohito was looking at a cabinet minister with a grim face.

The news that the battle at Xifengkou had come to an end for the time being, and that the troops sent by the Kwantung Army had been almost completely wiped out was undoubtedly the worst defeat that the arrogant Samoto had experienced since the Russo-Russian War.

Not to mention the Army, which has always boasted that it is almost invincible in the world, even the Navy is a little embarrassed by this situation.

Although the dispute between the navy and the army of the Yue army was quite serious, the fact that the squadron [***], which they all thought was weak and deceitful, actually lost almost one division of troops, and this fact was enough to make the navy unit laugh at the army and at the same time feel extremely surprised.

Nobuyoshi Muto, as the commander of the Kwantung Army, was responsible for such a situation no matter what.

However, in the presence of Emperor Hirohito, in addition to the cabinet ministers and Muto Nobuyoshi, Naoto Hattori, who was placed under house arrest by the gendarmerie after the retreat, was among them.

Faced with such a situation, Emperor Hirohito had to figure out what was going on.

After about half an hour of questioning, everyone in the room probably figured out what was going on.

To put it in a rather popular phrase, it is that they believe that the squadron is not at all the opponent of the Imperial Army, not only has large-caliber self-propelled guns, tank combat vehicles with excellent armor protection and firepower, but also a powerful anti-aircraft gun that can easily knock down the cutting-edge Type 96 land attack......

All kinds of weapons that make them unbelievable have actually become China's help, and this situation is quite unacceptable to the top level of the people present.

Some of them were tempted to raise their doubts, however, they were well aware that in such a situation, it was impossible for Naoto Hattori to lie.

So, after figuring out some details of the matter, Emperor Hirohito asked Naoto Hattori to go back to his home first and wait for the plan to deal with him.

As for Muto Nobuyoshi, he stayed here to participate in the next discussion.

……

The meeting ended quickly, but the faces of those who walked out of the palace were different.

The Admiralty were frustrated, as the Army shared much of their resources with the development of more advanced weapons.

They raised objections many times, but, because most of them agreed or acquiesced in such a thing, their opposition was quickly drowned out by the majority of other opinions.

It can be said that in such a situation, it is difficult for the people of the Admiralty to be happy.

As for the people in the War Department, they were talking about what the newly added resources should be used more appropriately.

In fact, the meeting determined that it was necessary to create a tank on a similar level as Zhang Shixin's No. 4H tank, which could be installed in the army.

However, if this plan is known to Zhang Shixin, he will definitely scoff at it.

Although the No. 4H is not a first-class tank, as the strongest "military horse" in Germany, the technical content of the No. 4H is enough even ten years later in 1943.

(Type 4H should have been assembled on a large scale in early 1944, and many of the technical parameters were met in mid-1943.) ）

I want to make a tank similar to the No. 4 H-type surname in so many years, not to mention other problems, just the engine and suspension system (these two are the level that tests the tank technology, without these two parameters, no matter how good the firepower is, no matter how good the protection ability is, it is in vain. After all, the former is the heart of a tank, and the latter is the basis for the finished product, and both are indispensable. Compared to these two things, tank guns or something are a minor problem. It's enough to say that I've been tossing for years.

Zhang Shixin's tank combat vehicle that appeared at Xifengkou had a self-propelled gun with the suspension system of the No. 4G type, while the Wild Bee and the III/IV experimental tanks added the operation method of the No. 3 tank, and changed the suspension drive method slightly.

There are many people who think that the III/IV experimental tank is a drawing car, in fact, this thing cannot be a drawing car, after all, the Wild Bee self-propelled gun and a certain number of Grizzly tank destroyers use such a set of chassis, if it is really a drawing car, where should the two famous vehicles come from?

However, the problem lies in the fact that the III/IV experimental tanks were not mass-deployed, or even had no battlefield data.

As for the Grizzly assault gun, it is the suspension system of the No. 3 H type.

The two had a certain concept at the end of 1941. The implementation of the program was already in the middle and even late stages of 1942.

I said that I wanted to make something here that only appeared at the end of 1942......

Zhang Shixin will be very happy, because with his own level of tank manufacturing, this is simply unrealistic.

Suspension system aside, but ...... It is not surprising that my tank engine is not very good, and in order to have a certain thrust gravity, he either developed a high-power engine, or cut left and right, and cut out a thing that Zhang Shixin had to laugh at.

The engine output of the No. 4H type is not too high, 460 horses, but the engine output of my Type 5 tank is about 550 horses (I am embarrassed to say that the 988800 engine, I like to make false reports), and that was also in 1945.

At the same time, there is another point, that is, even if it is known as the best Type 5 tank in World War II, it is actually the same level of equipment type as the No. 4 Leopard G.

……

It can be said that the two main allies of Germany in World War II, one is Italy, which is not much different from pigs, and the other is a jackal who likes to find people everywhere to cause trouble, even Hitler, the zoo director, has no way to win this war.

It is true that it was Pearl Harbor that provoked the Americans to enter the war, but ...... America's entry into the war is more of a matter of time.

If nothing else, if Germany were to unify the European continent, that alone would be completely inconsistent with the interests of the United States.

Therefore, Pearl Harbor is more of a matter that can be used to play on the topic.

said that I couldn't fight at that time, and it was not too much to say that I was forced to go to Liangshan.

Because the United States stopped trading in oil and other strategic resources, it directly choked the neck of Yueben.

So...... A few months later, "Tiger Tiger" appeared in history.

……

It's a pity that many people don't understand a small detail.

If it weren't for Mobil's statement that "China is an oil-poor country", I am afraid that many things would have changed quite unpredictably.

(This tells us that what the authorities say is not very credible.) ）

Don't forget that in 1941, both the Daqing Oilfield and the Shengli Oilfield were under the control of the army.

Although the oil production of these two oil fields could not fully meet the needs of the war, it was ...... It is not a big problem to delay until the United States itself has an excuse to enter the war.

It can be said that at the beginning of World War II, oil also determined the direction of history to a large extent.

……

Not to mention that he has embarked on a road of great hardship, which is not a success, nor a failure, but in China, except for the occupied areas and areas where roads are impassable, there is an atmosphere of great jubilation.

"Xifengkou Victory" has become the most mainstream title and slogan.

Zhao Dengyu and Wang Changhai have become cutting-edge anti-Japanese heroes.

The troops of the three brigades that participated in the battle, and the surviving officers and men were very emotional.

Although they are heroes, just the name of this hero, a little watery......

But under the influence of many factors, they can only bury everything they have seen about that steel hero deep in their hearts.

They even have a sense of gratitude for that unit, and although they don't mind dying for their country, being alive is the greatest good thing.

Therefore, when the commendation is put into the hands of every officer and soldier, how can they not have mixed feelings in their hearts?

……

For Zhao Dengyu and Wang Changhai, who have been promoted to major generals, their feelings are also quite contradictory.

The appearance of Zhang Shixin can be said to have reversed the rather dangerous situation in one day.

Although they have the advantage of the ancient Great Wall, they know very well that in the face of the enemy's three chariot wings, their chances of victory are almost zero. The gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides is too great, and in many cases, it is not possible to recover such a disadvantage by relying on human life.

Therefore, they are quite grateful to the commander who did not come forward.

However, the two of them also have some dissatisfaction with Zhang Shixin.

Even if Zhang Shixin had already greeted them......

However, when the battlefield was cleared, they could not find even ten Type 92 heavy machine guns that had no problems at all.

Not to mention the other heavy weapons in the crater, which are either broken into several pieces, or directly become parts that are not intact.

Before they exhibited the trophies in Beiping City, they looked at a large number of 38 big covers and crooked handles, and then looked at the rather "lonely" Type 92 heavy machine gun, who could they tell about the helplessness in their hearts?

They are all in this mood, not to mention the person in charge of this matter, he questioned more than once whether the two were hiding their secrets, and later, after the unbearable two people directly pulled this person to a private house, there were quite a lot of things in it, but well, if you want to repair and use it, it is better to return it directly to the furnace.

Wang Changhai even pointed to a Type 92 heavy machine gun that was almost an iron piece, which was called a crying without tears, because this thing was directly run over by a tank, if this thing could still be used, Wang Changhai swore that he would hold this "iron piece" and fight with the other party.

Well, Zhang Shixin, who was negotiating business with an acquaintance, suddenly sneezed......

In the eyes of Zhao Dengyu and Wang Changhai, Zhang Shixin not only has a good side in their minds, but also has the title of "God of Equipment Destruction".

Compared to this small detail, if it weren't for the light weapons of the Yue Army, the corpse of the Suzuki Brigade Commander and the saber to better play the advantage of the loot, I am afraid that the three of them would be even more worried when they looked at the pile of discarded heavy weapons like a hill.

……

In contrast to this situation, Jiang Zhiqing and a group of high-ranking officials of the Republic of China flew to Beiping to witness the celebration in person.

However, this situation has been busy with many members of the Special Service of the Fuxing Society and the Investigation Section of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the National Political Axe, after all, the location of Beiping is quite special......

In contrast to the usually quiet situation in Beiping City, from time to time you will hear either fierce or short "firecrackers" sounds.

Such a thing once caused a burst of discussion in Beiping City, but it was soon covered up by the loot exhibition that was getting closer and closer.

In fact, Jiang Zhiqing was also worried about whether he would make a pornographic arrangement, and without too much preparation, just a few bomber groups threw bombs, and this matter was quite troublesome.

However, Chen Bui came up with an idea for him, which was to invite the ambassadors to China, including Yu Ben, to participate in the celebration.

Jiang Zhiqing attached great importance to this suggestion, because after thinking about it for a while, he thought that he would not dare to take such a risk to bomb the venue.

At the same time, he called Dai Li and Chen Guofu to his residence, and repeatedly ordered the two not to make any mistakes.

After that, he asked Kong Xiangxi to be in charge of liaising with those ambassadors and inviting them to come to Beiping.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Zhiqing glanced at the small grandfather clock in the room and found that it was almost six o'clock, and he realized that he was really a little hungry.

He asked people to arrange a table of meals, because today came a distant relative whom he had met for the first time.

The relationship between the other party and his wife seems to be very good, so as an elder, Jiang Zhiqing naturally doesn't want to be a little rude.

A few minutes later, his wife appeared in front of him, supported by a rather handsome girl who was also wearing a cheongsam.

Mrs. Song looked at Jiang Zhiqing, then patted the back of the girl's hand, and smiled slightly: "Zi Yan, this is your uncle." ”

"Hello uncle." The girl said hello to Jiang Zhiqing, and then said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Uncle is much more handsome than the photo." (Don't slap bricks if you know the source.) Hey. ）

"......" Jiang Zhiqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then came back to his senses in Mrs. Song's chuckle: "Hehe, you also think that your uncle is quite handsome, right?" ”

Under Mrs. Song's eyes, Jiang Zhiqing could only mess around.

The three of them exchanged in the living room for a while, and then began to eat.

Many people don't know that Jiang Zhiqing doesn't like meat very much, and at the same time, Jiang Zhiqing doesn't like to drink alcohol and rarely drinks tea, so for many people who have eaten with Jiang Zhiqing, especially the officers who like large glasses of wine and large pieces of meat, this is an honor and a kind of torture.

Because there is nothing at the dinner table that can make them eat, and Jiang Zhiqing's identity is there, who dares to relax their mood too much?

It's just that the girl known as Ziyan escaped the "catastrophe", because the meal was not too rich, but for Jiang Zhiqing's style, it changed too much.

Because there was also a bottle of red wine on the table.

Jiang Zhiqing didn't know his habits, and sometimes even his wife was helpless, but he didn't need to worry about anything.

However, in order to have an image of an elder in front of this relative of his own, Jiang Zhiqing still changed his original instructions.

During the meal, Jiang Zhiqing also drank a small half glass of red wine.

Waiting for dinner, Jiang Zhiqing continued to chat with the other party, and said a sentence intentionally or unintentionally: "Zi Yan, I heard that you know that it may be ...... The commander of that good force? ”

When Mrs. Song heard this, she shook her head in her heart, but the smile on her face remained unchanged.

"Uncle, if Zi Yan didn't guess wrong, it should be like this." The girl nodded.

"So, do you think it's possible for the other side to work for the party-state?" Jiang Zhiqing once again voiced his doubts.

Mrs. Song almost didn't give her husband a roll of the eye at this time, thinking, "Alas......"

The girl shook her head, the other party seemed reluctant to contact the official people, both his tone and the style of the commander proved it.

Jiang Zhiqing: In fact, that's just that.

After all, he also thought of Zhang Shixin's farewell this time, and was more reluctant to contact them.

He wasn't worried that Zhang Shixin would have something to do with the people in Ruijin, Jiangxi, because if there was this killer feature, they would have been revealed a long time ago.

As for the other warlords, it is a question whether they can afford to support half of this army.

It's not that he didn't think about winning over Zhang Shixin, but Zhang Shixin didn't give him this opportunity at all.

Although he felt that it was a pity, he still had to deal with some problems in relation to this matter.

Many countries know something, it's not that the other party is too powerful, but that there are few people around them who can only be fully trusted.

He was quite helpless about it, but he couldn't take drastic measures to deal with it.

Pulling a hair and moving his whole body, he can't help but cast a mouse taboo.

The intelligence personnel of Germany, Britain, France, the Soviet Union and even the United States are constantly gathering in Beiping, and Jiang Zhiqing also knows a general idea.

Germany, on the other hand, sent an ambassador directly to inquire about the details.

Well, in fact, he, who doesn't know the details very well, also knows that Zhang Shixin's troops have a lot of things that make these countries quite blush.

He even wanted to continue to blackmail him by the same means......

They offered to hand over Zhang Shixin's troops intact to them for disposal.

"Humph!" Jiang Zhiqing thought of this, and snorted coldly in his heart: "Don't say that I don't know what the situation of this army is, even if I knew, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing." Anyway, now both sides don't want to continue fighting for the time being. Then I'll spend some time with you. ”

If Jiang Zhiqing was really stupid, he would not sit in the position of chairman of the committee.

However, compared with these things, he made an evaluation of Zhang Shixin: "The dry city of the country, it's a pity." ”

Jiang Zhiqing is a pity, Zhang Shixin naturally doesn't know, but Zhang Shixin, who is now negotiating business, has decided what to do next.

…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................

Zhang Shixin watched Grelian go to the company's subordinate hotel at the headquarters to rest under the leadership of Alice, and then glanced at Fei Lei and the others who were waiting for him to speak, and said:

"Now you guys have lunch first, and then we have a meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon!" (To be continued.) )
