The fourteenth year of ZTE, December 2.

Command Center of the Ministry of National Defense of China.

"Your Majesty, in the past month, Japan and Germany have successively used special ammunition in Stalingrad, Moscow, Komsomolsk, and Vladivostok.

Originally, Germany had already occupied 80 percent of Stalingrad, but if it were not for the continuous flow of Soviet soldiers from the rear to defend Stalingrad, Germany would have captured the city in ruins. The situation in Moscow was similar to that of Stalingrad, but the war there was very tight, with Germany and the Soviet Union occupying half of Moscow.

In the Far East, the Japanese side launched an extremely fierce attack on Komsomolsk and Vladivostok, and the pace of the offensive was not interrupted 24 hours a day. For a few months, although the two cities were still in Soviet hands, the situation was far from optimistic. If it weren't for the large quantities of supplies and ammunition stored by the Soviet Union in these two cities, I am afraid that they would have fallen long ago. However, the supplies were running out, and the lack of ammunition and food was their main problem.

And now, after the use of special ammunition, the situation has changed a lot, especially on the German side, which has occupied Stalingrad half a month ago, and Japan has also taken Komsomolsk. Now the Germans are targeting Moscow, and the Japanese are also targeting Vladivostok. However, the special ammunition also used by the Soviet Union, especially in Europe, has caused a large number of deaths among soldiers on both sides, and conservatively estimates that the number of dead and wounded on both sides is about 600,000. And in the Far East, there were not many special ammunition in Vladivostok, and they did not cause many casualties to the Japanese army.

On the Pacific front, Japan opened a second front. Raise a million troops and land in British Australia. At present, with the help of a large number of Indonesian puppet troops, after two months of fighting, the Japanese army has taken most of British Australia.

In the Western European direction, Britain was already gasping for breath, since the USSR had officially declared its accession to the Allies and had declared war on the Axis powers as already client states. Britain also actively responded to the Soviet Union's request and launched a large-density and large-scale air attack to hit Germany's domestic industry. Indirect support for the Soviet Union. these months. The air war between Germany and Britain continued, and now London has been bombed into ruins. However, Germany did not have a good time, especially when the United States sold the new bomber B-29 to the Allies. This high-altitude bomber, with a load capacity of nine tons, caused great damage to Berlin. Many of Berlin's industrial areas have been bombed. Plants in Germany and the UK are currently underground. But the volume of production of weapons and equipment has been seriously weakened.

The United States opened up a large number of war loans to the Allies, and these loans had to be all from the United States to buy weapons. With the support of the United States. A large number of weapons and equipment were delivered to the Soviets through the North Sea, and a steady stream of B-29 bombers flew to London to join the air raids on Germany.

At present, Germany has also begun unrestricted submarine warfare in the Atlantic. At the same time, Japan began to follow Germany's lead, blocking the Bering Strait and the Sea of Okhotsk, and prohibiting the United States from transporting weapons to the Far East.

The U.S. Congress held its fourth session just yesterday to discuss whether to formally declare war on the Axis powers and join the Allies in the unrestricted submarine war against Germany. However, as with the previous three, the meeting ended up in failure.

Now, the American shipping routes in the Atlantic have been seriously blocked, and a large number of American cargo ships are sinking every day. In this regard, although the United States has not yet decided whether to enter the war, the United States has already made a new decision. Support 84 British destroyers and equip them with the latest sonar detection systems.

The British only had to pay for some islands in the Atlantic Ocean to get the destroyer for free. Now, Churchill has set up to go to the United States for this purpose, and his purpose is to lobby the American Congress and Roosevelt to get the United States into the war.

The above is the latest situation in the current world war. ”

Wang Mingzhang reported to Chen Shao the latest situation of the world war situation, and this war situation report is a summary of the war situation in the past two or three months.

"Has the meteorological department compiled the weather changes in Siberia in the coming days?" Fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair, and Chen Shao spoke.

Now that winter has arrived, and the Siberian climate has arrived as scheduled, this has a great impact on the situation of the war. If this year and last year's rare cold snap occurs, the situation of Germany and Japan will not be so good. Although the Germans saw that Barbarossa's plan to force the Soviet Union to surrender had failed, and had prepared a large number of cotton clothes two months earlier, the quantity gap was still very large. At present, Germany is supported by sweaters purchased from China, and once the cold snap comes, that person only has one sweater, which cannot be supported at all.

"It has come, according to the forecast of the meteorological department, a cold current has formed over the Siberian plain at the moment, and it is expected to sweep the entire Siberian and Northern European regions within half a month. It is expected that the temperature will reach minus 30 degrees Celsius, and it may even reach -40 degrees Celsius in some areas. Your Majesty, do we want to inform the Germans? Wang Mingzhang flipped to the page of the meteorological department's report.

"Let the meteorological department continue to pay attention, as for the German side, there is no need to say it." Speaking of this, Chen Shao also added a sentence in his heart: "People always have to pay the price for what they do." ”

"Understood." Wang Mingzhang nodded.

"You should continue to pay attention to the situation of the battle, and make more deductions yourself, find out the tactics of both sides, and accumulate experience. I'll go first. After Chen Shao finished speaking, he got up and left.

"Yes!"

Chen Shao, who returned to the imperial study, took out a piece of information from the drawer that marked top secret and looked at it. But before he could see much, there was a knock at the door.

Chen Shao put away the information and said, "Come in." ”

"I learned that you just came back from outside, so I boiled some ginger tea and drank some to warm up." Xie Yuxin held a small cup and said as she walked in.

"It's such a cold day, it's not good to stay in the house, what ginger tea to boil! Your husband and my body are not bad enough to that point, and it is you, so you should rest more. Reaching out and touching the faint crow's feet at the corner of Xie Yuxin's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Time!" ”

In the fourteenth year of ZTE, it has been twenty-eight years since Chen Shao came to this world. The situation of arriving at Qinghe Village at the beginning of that year is vivid, as if it was yesterday. I think of that sunny afternoon, that casual encounter. This memory has become the preciousness of Chen Shao's life.

It took Chen Shao 14 years to unify China. It also took 14 years to develop China. Twenty-eight years is still too short in Chen Shao's opinion, if there is another ten years, China will be afraid of anyone. And now, the American B-29 has come out, and all countries have secretly launched jet fighters for a long time, and they have achieved great results. All these have invisibly narrowed China's advantage.

"It doesn't matter, seeing that your hands are so cold, drink it while it's hot!" Xie Yuxin smiled faintly, feeling the coldness of Chen Shao's handtip, and felt a little proud and worried in his heart. At this time, Chen Shao began to go out early and return late again, and he also began to leave down meals. Now that he is almost five, she is very worried that his body will not be able to bear it if he continues to work like this.

Chen Shao did not agree, but suddenly picked up Xie Yuxin, put it on his lap, grabbed her hand, and said in her ear: "Madame's hands are not the same as those of her husband, don't tire yourself." And how is your husband and my body, you should know very well that it is not. ”

"Don't be like this, it's all old husbands and wives, let people see it, how bad the impact is." Xie Yuxin's face flushed and twisted her body a few times, but everything was in vain, and Chen Shao hugged her steadily.

"You are still so easily shy, what does it matter, you are my queen, it is a natural thing to hold you, what bad impact can it have."

"Really, I'm leaving, drink the ginger tea yourself! Come back early in the evening for dinner, don't make me and Fiya wait any longer. This time, Xie Yuxin left Chen Shao's arms, and after finishing speaking, he left quickly. Because he was sitting on Chen Shao's lap just now, he already felt that something had changed in him, and he was afraid that Chen Shao would be chaotic in the daytime, so he left quickly.

Seeing her departing back and her figure wrapped in a coat, Chen Shao smiled helplessly, and muttered in his heart: "The temptation of a mature woman is too great, but fortunately, her body is not bad." ”

Closing the door of the imperial study, Chen Shao drank ginger tea while taking out the previous information and continuing to read it. On the brown cover of this information, there are also three typing: Tiger Tiger Tiger!

Japan's expansion in the Far East, Southeast Asia, and even Australia rapidly intensified the contradictions between the United States and Japan, and Japan decided to launch a surprise attack to seize the initiative in the war while the United States was not ready. Pearl Harbor, located south of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands, is the center of activity for the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Japan regards the US Pacific Fleet as the biggest obstacle to its "southward advance" and believes that only by destroying the US Pacific Fleet can it confidently and boldly advance southward. Therefore, when the blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union was planned, it began to plan a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

And the reasons why Japan is going to do it against the United States have also increased over time.

At present, Japan's domestic supplies are in short supply, and the rationing system is implemented throughout the country, and in occupied areas such as Indonesia and Southeast Asia, it is practicing a policy of feeding the war with war. The lack of resources forced Japan to occupy Australia as soon as possible, and the United States was a stumbling block. It is mainly reflected in the American Philippines.

Japan continued the war blood, especially in oil-rich Indonesia, and to gain this place had to pass through the Philippines of the United States.

Although the fighting in the Far East went well, the Soviets were able to receive a steady stream of weapons and equipment from the American military, which greatly annoyed the Japanese.

The United States imposed an embargo on strategic goods against Japan and froze the assets of Japanese companies in the United States, which made Japan feel that war with the United States was inevitable, and that since it was the nature of small Japan, it had to strike preemptively.

Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was an attempt to crush the US Pacific Fleet at one time, and on the other hand, the United States had no power to influence Southeast Asia and Australia for the time being.

One of the main reasons is the lifeline at sea. Japan can also open up its own life channel, occupy the Philippines, and connect Southeast Asia with Indonesia and Australia. From now on, there is no need to be influenced by China and the United States, for fear that one day it will be cut off by China or the United States.

Choosing an opponent between the United States and China, Japan can only choose the United States now. (To be continued.) )
