Chapter 998: The Calm Before the Storm

readx; China in 1945 did not change much because of China's successive victories in foreign wars, and most people have become numb to the development of industry and commerce. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When people are accustomed to victory, they will pay less attention to winning the war and more to self-interest, such as when the wartime economic policy that was implemented last year will be abolished, and when the political axe will not forcibly intervene to limit the level of wages. For example, they are more concerned about some gossip news about movie stars, the tangled love story between contemporary idol Xu Zhimo and several of his women, the corruption scandals that break out from time to time at the top of the military and government, and some secrets of the Chen family and several other major families in China.

In these years, China was ostensibly in a scene of singing and dancing, the big Shanghai theaters in Shanghai were full, the major clubs were full of drunken people who spent a lot of money just for a night of fun, and the most frequent headlines in domestic newspapers were not news of the war from distant Europe, but a lot of domestic news and even gossip.

Moreover, the Chinese people often pay more attention to Chen Jingyun and the Chen family than to the European war, and Chen Jingyun's fourth son, Chen Huayan, graduated from the Wuhan Military Academy and officially entered the army, which can attract a large number of reporters to watch and make countless newspaper headlines.

So on the day of Chen Jingyun's assassination, the official news had not yet been announced, but the country was already full of gossip, and countless military and political dignitaries inquired about the real news through various means, and the military bigwigs and generals who were leading the army, especially the several generals who were now leading the army in Europe, sent several urgent telegrams back to China on the same day, asking about the real situation.

What they are concerned about is nothing more than whether Chen Jingyun is dead or not.

At that time, Chen Jingyun was in the emergency protection procedure, and then he hurriedly summoned Chen Cai and the others to prepare for the arrest of the assassin and the preparations before purging, so he disappeared for a few hours.

However, in less than three hours, Nanjing's guard division has been urgently mobilized, as the most staunch supporter of the Chen family, the actual controller of the guard division, army general Yu Ruofei hurriedly rushed to the guard division station, and called Chen Huatian, hinting: If there is an accident, the guard division will stand firmly behind you, the eldest prince!

Even Chen Huajun, who has been recalled to Nanjing and is at home, made an urgent number of phone calls, and the perpetrator is naturally the position under Chen Jingyun's buttocks.

Although Chen Huajun has been deliberately suppressed by Chen Jingyun in the past year, Chen Huajun has been in the army for more than ten years, and his military talent can be called the first of Chen Jingyun's many sons, and it is widely believed by many generals in the army that Chen Huajun has inherited Chen Jingyun's excellent military talent, and has held many important positions before being suppressed by Chen Jingyun, such as the commander of the field army, the director of the Operations Department of the General Staff, etc., and he can perform well. Coupled with his resolute and brave surname, many generals in the army have a very good impression of him. And many things have led to Chen Huajun's prestige in the military, especially in the army, which is incomparable to Chen Huatian, although he has been suppressed and let him retire for a year, Chen Jingyun has also used many excuses to remove many generals of Chen Huajun's faction, but only one year can definitely not eliminate all his influence in the military, if Chen Jingyun is dead at this time, Chen Huajun may not have the capital to fight with his eldest brother again.

Chen Huatian, Chen Huajun and other military and political dignitaries are naturally nervous, after all, Chen Jingyun is too important, whether Chen Jingyun is alive or not is a factor that has a great impact on the whole China and even the whole world, so it is normal for Chen Jingyun to have these reactions when he was assassinated, and it is strange that they do not have these reactions.

However, these reactions do not mean that they dare to act rashly without determining Chen Jingyun's life and death, and these emergency contact methods are only used as a means of prevention.

The military and political dignitaries were a little flustered in the first few hours, but after two or three hours, they got accurate news one after another, Chen Jingyun was still alive and well, and it was the guards of the military attaché's chamber who were shot. This makes many people happy, some disappointed, and some can't say what they feel in their hearts.

For some people, it is not a good thing that Chen Jingyun is alive, but it is not a good thing that Chen Jingyun is dead. For them, Chen Jingyun is an extremely contradictory existence.

Most people in China today have their own ideas, and basically know that Chen Jingyun is now studying for talent, after all, the previous constitution stipulated that he could only be re-elected for two consecutive terms, but Chen Jingyun began in 1930, and now he has been re-elected for the fourth term, and even passed a temporary bill to cancel the restriction on two consecutive terms on the grounds of tension and war. He himself was re-elected, but he even began to train his son Chen Huatian openly, how can this make many people who cherish the people's republic be willing.

Most of the sensible people in China are against Chen Jingyun's reading of talent, but they also know that today's China is inseparable from Chen Jingyun, even if they oppose Chen Jingyun, but if anyone really gets Chen Jingyun down, they will be the first to turn against them.

Based on this ambivalence, they have an attitude of opposition but acquiescence, that is, I am against it in my heart but I will not specifically oppose it. But it is one thing for them to acquiesce to Chen Jingyun's own reading, but it is another thing to let Chen Huatian inherit Chen Jingyun's position and do the things of the world.

You have to go to the street and ask ordinary people if Chen Huatian inherits Chen Jingyun's position in the future, some will say that it is not good, some will say that it is not good, and some people will say that it may be a bad thing. But not too many people will directly say that this is a good thing. It's just that there aren't many people who will actually oppose it.

The assassin who assassinated Chen Jingyun, after an investigation by the Investigation Bureau, came from a radical right-leaning organization in China, which aimed to seek a complete democratic republic in China, and was extremely dissatisfied with Chen Jingyun's rule of reading talents, and could not tolerate the Chen family's expert behavior. It is worth noting that the community is mainly composed of young people, which has the feeling of a league in the late Qing Dynasty.

This already shows that China's new generation of young people are no longer full of blind worship of Chen Jingyun like the previous generations of young people, but have more of their own opinions.

And these problems in Chen Jingyun's view, it is purely that the people in China have lived too well, as the so-called full of food and silver desire, when they are full, they will blindly want what kind of people's sovereignty and freedom, if it was put in a few decades ago, everyone would not be able to eat, Chen Jingyun dared to pat his chest and promise, as long as he gave them a bite to eat, countless young people would follow behind him and obediently serve as cannon fodder for themselves.

In addition, Chen Jingyun still feels that the current education audience is too wide, too many young people have received higher education, and it is difficult for the interest class to digest all the young people with higher education, and turn these young people into members of the interest class, so that many young people who have received higher education but whose interests cannot be satisfied will be prone to the dangerous road of anti-social and anti-party-state.

Chen Jingyun wondered, should we narrow the audience of higher education, and then raise the tuition fees of universities?

The ass determines the thinking, Chen Jingyun is the ruler, and the starting point of his consideration is to maintain the rule, so it is not surprising that he has this idea that instead of developing education, he should have a smaller audience for higher education, because for the ruler, the people under the rule are always the more ignorant the better.

Chen Jingyun's assassination was just a small fluctuation, and when the official media announced that Chen Jingyun was safe and sound, it calmed down, and then Chen Jingyun also made a special public radio speech to spread his voice to the whole country and the world, and what he did was to tell the world: "Lao Tzu is still alive, let me be honest and don't move!" ”

Chen Jingyun has been assassinated many times, not only is he numb, but even the people are numb, as the so-called is no longer strange, knowing that Chen Jingyun is not dead, he doesn't have much to pay attention to.

Although Chen Jingyun's assassination incident had subsided on the surface, it had secretly caused a great stir, and the agents of the Investigation Bureau were once again dispatched everywhere, in addition to searching for spies and reactionaries from other countries, and they also took advantage of this opportunity to once again launch a large-scale purge operation, and many high-ranking military and political leaders were pulled down under various pretexts.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of military and political leaders of the new generation, especially those who were inclined to Chen Huatian, were quickly promoted, which further consolidated Chen Huatian's power in the military and political terms.

Chen Jingyun spent so much effort to cultivate Chen Huatian, and even did not hesitate to launch a large-scale purge in order to be able to smoothly hand over the baton of power to Chen Huatian in the future.

While China's domestic country is ostensibly in a state of calm and calm, but in fact it is turbulent, China's foreign policy continues to follow the steps laid out in the Supreme Strategic Conference.

In the Pacific direction, according to the superficial and secret agreements reached between China and the United States, the colonies of the original countries in the Pacific region have been reading one after another, including East Indonesia, West Indonesia, Malaysia, etc., and the most eye-catching of them is the situation in the North and South Philippines. In fact, both China and the United States vigorously and even openly support their respective puppet Philippine political axes, the most obvious of which is the import of various advanced military equipment.

When the Chinese Air Force evacuated the Philippines, it even left up to two wings of combat aircraft to be accepted by the Philippine Air Force, which had just been established for less than a year, and these aircraft were propeller aircraft equipped by the Chinese Army in active service, such as F5E, F4H, etc., so that the young Philippine Air Force grew into a huge air force with up to 700 combat aircraft of various types almost overnight. That is, a large number of retired air force pilots were summoned from China, and then hired by the Philippine Air Force in the form of mercenaries to fly fighter planes directly.

And the United States in Mindanao did the same, people left, but a lot of equipment was left.

As a result of this move by China and the United States, the two North and South political axe armies in the Philippines have swelled into a large number of advanced equipment almost overnight.

And China and the United States are arming these puppet political axes, naturally not for the sake of looking good, but hoping that these puppet forces can conquer all of the Philippines with their own support, and then completely control the Philippines.

Although the situation in the Pacific Ocean is tense, it is still calm on the surface, and although there are small air and naval forces between the north and the south and the Philippines every day, it is difficult to invade each other on a large scale until the navy is formed, due to the fact that both sides are island forces. I don't want to be like the Korean Peninsula in history, only the army force that has always been huge, can immediately sweep the entire peninsula, but this kind of thing is not good in the Philippines, where the focus of the comparison between the two sides is still the navy and air force, and the army is secondary.

In the European direction, with the landing of the Chinese-led coalition forces in the Balkans, and successively conquered Greece, after entering Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. The Allied forces of the United States, on the other hand, landed in southern Italy, had already conquered southern Italy, and were engaged with Axis forces in the north-central region. On the Eastern Front, after a two-month spring counteroffensive, Soviet Russia was limited by the rainy season in April and May, and the Soviet army had now entered Poland and was facing the same supply problems as when the German army attacked Soviet Russia, so the pace of this counteroffensive was suspended.

Overall, Europe was in a relatively calm state in May.

But this calm is only for the sake of a more violent storm!

This storm was the landing operation on the French coastal area that the United States and Britain had been preparing for a long time, and had been preparing for a long time since last year, that is to say, Britain and the United States were preparing to open a new front on the Atlantic coast of France, and finally formed an eastern front dominated by Soviet troops, a southwestern front dominated by allied forces, a southern front dominated by allied forces, and a western front dominated by Allied forces, a total of four major fronts.

Under the joint attack of the four fronts, even if the Germans are all supermen, they will not be able to save their fate of imminent total annihilation!
