893 American Siege Fifteen The biggest flaw
Time finally came to June 1, 1939, which is a day of special significance, but it has nothing to do with the children of this time and space. According to the provisions of the Peace of Rome, this day is the Day of the European Armistice! The beacon fire, which had been spreading in Western Europe for nearly eight months, was finally extinguished on this day. At the same time, in the east of the world, the Anglo-French forces in French Indochina and the British forces in Western Australia also ceased resistance and began to transfer territory to the Chinese defense forces under the Treaty of Rome; And in Africa, the armies of fascist Germany and Italy also began to accept the colonies; In the Middle East, the British flag and the French tricolor flag were also lowered from the flagpoles of the Governor's Palace, and in their place were the blue sky and white sun flag of the Republic of China, in German Chapter 887. Prepare for a decisive battle there against the Japanese forces who have invaded Eastern Australia! As soon as the first eight divisions had landed, the convoys of the convoys returned to prepare for the second batch of landing troops, which had just completed mobilization.
In addition, two more large-scale wars are being fought in Asia. One was the war between the Sino-Russian coalition and Stalin's Red Army in Iran. On May 25, 1939, the Battle of New Delhi, which had been fought fiercely for nearly one month, finally ended in a complete victory for the Sino-Russian coalition forces. The Iranian Red Army, which claimed to be one million, was almost scattered, and the defeated Stalin, Voroshilov, Zhukov and others led nearly 200,000 remnants of the defeated army. Chiang Kai-shek, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and Blyukher, commander-in-chief of the Russian Persian Front, commanded millions of Chinese, Russian, and Persian troops (the Persian puppet army that defected to the empress) in a series of encirclement, pursuit, and interception, and finally succeeded in driving the Soviet Red Army into the more chaotic battlefield of India.
At the end of May and the beginning of June 1939, however, the situation in India was still quite calm. Both the Gandhi authorities in New Delhi and the Union of Socialist Republics of India, which established Bhubaneswar (the capital of Odisha), were busy consolidating their interiors and expanding their armies, and had no intention of launching an offensive for the time being. But everyone knows that this is the so-called calm before the storm.
A storm of revolutionary war is brewing that will sweep through the ancient country of India and bring new life to the whole of India!
Of course, the initiator of this storm seems to be Luo Yaoguo!
And for China, which is de facto "ruled" by Luo Yaoguo. The world war seems to have come to an end. The main task of the Defence Force has shifted from fighting to taking over territory and helping to establish local authorities or colonial administrations in new territories. Until the local government of the new territory and the viceroyalty of the colony are established, the army responsible for the occupation must also assume the responsibility of martial law...... However, this time will not be too long, and Luo Yaoguo does not want the Chinese National Defense Force, which has finally gotten rid of the influence of the warlord system, to reappear as militarists in the process of implementing military control.
The specific administration of the colonies and new territories, the establishment of local governments and colonial governors' offices, and the formulation and implementation of immigration policies. Promote the economic development of new territories, colonies and native lands, national integration, as well as the formulation of policies and regulations for political stability. Luo Yaoguo and the National Defense Force did not interfere too much on the surface, but of course they still came up with many ideas behind the scenes.
After repeated consultations and discussions from all sides, the land acquired from Britain and France this time was divided into three categories.
The first category became the mainland of the Republic of China as a new territory, such as the Tokyo region in northern Vietnam that became the Quang Nam province of China. The provincial capital is located in Hanoi; Borneo and Cam Ranh Bay and Kunlun Island in southern Vietnam, Palawan Island and Kalamiman Islands in the Philippines, all the islands and reefs in the South China Sea, and Hainan Island in Guangdong Province were packaged together to form Nanhai Province, with the provincial capital at Haikou; The Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and the Andaman Islands were merged to form the province of Singapore, and the provincial capital was naturally Singapore; In northern Myanmar, a separate province of Nam Chao was formed, with the provincial capital in Mandalay; Western Australia has the province of Western Australia, with its capital in Perth Harbour.
In addition, a free city of Kuwait has been established on the territory of the former Emirate of Kuwait in the Persian Gulf (comprising the 5,700 square kilometre neutral zone on the border between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia). A Gulf Free Zone has been established on the territory of the former Emirate of Abu Dhabi...... In order to gain these two plots, the generous Chinese government also compensated about 330,000 square kilometers of land in South Yemen to the former rulers of Kuwait and Abu Dhabi to settle their people, while Saudi Arabia received an emirate near the Persian Gulf to compensate for the loss of their neutral zone on the border with Kuwait.
These two free cities (districts) are, of course, also Chinese territory, and they are also fenced with barbed wire and minefields! It doesn't look like there's any freedom. According to the official version of the Nationalist government, the two plots of land were mainly intended to provide a place for Muslims in China to settle down and rest when they went to the holy city of Mecca to worship...... And barbed wire and minefields are there to protect their lives.
The second category is the Dominions. Including Siam, Khmer (including Namqi in Vietnam), Vietnam (central Vietnam), Laos, Ceylon (including the Maldives Islands), and the Chinese territories in the Middle East except Palestine, Kuwait, and Abu Dhabi have all become colonies of Chinese imperialism like the Dominions of Central Asia (formerly the Autonomous Republic of Central Asia).
The third group is allowed to establish an independent state, and the Jews paid a lot of money to buy Palestine from China became the state of Israel, and the Arabs living there were tragically expelled! In addition, South Yemen was granted independent status. Became the United Kingdom of South Yemen.
In addition, large-scale resettlement, infrastructure and industrial development plans have been developed and implemented. The funds used to support these plans came mainly from the successive reparations paid by Britain and France, and the $10 billion Chinese government bonds purchased by American capitalists.
It's just that for imperialist China, which has a vast territory of nearly 30 million square kilometers (including colonies) and nearly 600 million people, almost $20 billion in construction funds is too little! And in an era when this world war has not completely stopped. Money may not be able to buy the machinery and cutting-edge technology you need.
Of course, sometimes there are cutting-edge technologies, equipment, and money that come to your door...... It's just a little hot!
……
On June 6, 1939, the summer capital of the National Government was Lushan, Luo Mansion.
The night was already very deep, and the entire Luo Mansion was quiet, only Luo Yaoguo's bedroom was still dimly lit, this Chinese marshal who had only turned 40 years old this year had a very strong body and was very energetic. It's been a busy day, but it's evening. But he still came to Wushan with his wife Lu Xiaobei, who was in her early 30s**...... At this moment, I had just finished my errands, and I was lying on the big Western bed with half-squinted eyes and contentedness, enjoying the massage of Xiao Bei's slender jade hands. It's really a bit of a wake-up power in the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful people.
"Fuwen, today Ye Disheng (Ye Luo, chief engineer of Republic Aircraft Company) from Anting called me and said that it was Pratt. The Whitney Company intends to transfer the technology patent and manufacturing license of the R2800 engine to Republic Company. The price is only $3 million! In addition to being Mrs. Luo Yaoguo, Xiaobei is also the chairman of the Republic Aircraft Company, a "strong woman" who has to take care of both family and career, and after a long time, the boundaries between the two will naturally be blurred, and she will often "do" the company's things to Luo Yaoguo's bed.
Luo Yaoguo turned around. Facing his wife, who already had a bit of a taste, he smiled faintly: "Give us a 2,000 horsepower R2800 engine, the Americans are really generous, are there no strings attached?" ”
Lu Xiaobei almost never cares about national affairs, and she doesn't seem to have this tendon in her head. I don't seem to know much about the delicate relationship between China and the United States at the moment, but I still know a little about the ongoing war between Japan and the United States, and my heart is naturally inclined to the American side like most Chinese ladies in this era. Hearing her husband's question, she blinked and smiled, "This is Pratt. What are the conditions attached to the Whitney's normal business dealings with Republic Aircraft? However, whether it can succeed in the end depends on whether the US government approves the export of this technology, and at present, in wartime, the Americans can strictly control this aspect...... I heard that many similar projects have been stuck with the U.S. government recently, after all, we still have an alliance with the Japanese. ”
"Are there many projects like this?" Listening to his wife's words, Luo Yaoguo was slightly stunned. He had vaguely seen some of this kind of thing in the reports sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau. But I didn't pay too much attention to it, and now that I think about it, it seems really strange.
"Yes, large companies in many industries, including steel, automobiles, machinery, manufacturing, electronics, etc., have recently been negotiating with some American companies for the transfer of key technologies or equipment, as well as negotiating long-term loans with American banks...... There are many projects that have come to an agreement but have been stuck on the side of the U.S. government. Xiao Bei frowned. "I'm worried that our project will end up stuck with the U.S. government." Then our Republic's next-generation fighter and long-range bomber projects will be ruined. ”
"That's right...... The intentions of these Americans are really deep! Luo Yaoguo sat up from the bed, leaned on a pillow and leaned on the back of the bed, looked up at the ceiling, and pondered. At present, there is no shortage of land, resources and labor in China, but capital and technology are still shortcomings. This was especially true after the acquisition of new territories and colonies that were almost twice the size of the original territory. A large number of development, construction, and immigration projects are pressed, and they all have to spend a lot of money outside! Moreover, the Germans, seeing that China is currently expanding like this, have also begun to quietly stop "technical cooperation".
At this time, those big companies in the United States have shown their technology and advanced equipment to Chinese companies in order to seduce Chinese capitalists! It also signed contracts for the transfer of technology and equipment with Chinese capitalists at low prices, and then the US government intervened to obstruct them, under the pretext that they were ...... Sino-Japanese Alliance!
I am afraid that they want to use the monopoly power of the Chinese capitalists in the Kuomintang to persuade Luo Yiqun and Luo Yaoguo's uncle and nephew to abandon the "Sino-Japanese alliance", and even further draw China to form an alliance with the United States to fight against Japan! It is estimated that at the same time as lobbying through the power of the "civil". That American ambassador Rockefeller will come to the door soon, right?
Of course, these Americans must not know that they actually have no intention of letting Japan go! Just waiting for the perfect time to attack, and maybe the right price.
Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo gently hugged Xiaobei in his arms, looked at his wife, who had grown into a "strong woman", and smiled: "Although the contract with the Americans has been signed, there will definitely be a time to fulfill it...... It's not the time yet, but it's not too long. ”
At this time, in the German Embassy in Roppongi, Tokyo, the German ambassador to Japan, Dixon, was sitting opposite the Japanese Minister of War Admiral Nagata Tetsuyama in his office. Although it was a hot June, the doors and windows of the office were tightly closed. The room was filled with the fragrant smoke of Cuban cigars and the aroma of fine coffee. Apparently, the talks between the two have been going on for a long time.
“…… Your Excellency, your country's proposal to send kamikaze forces to participate in the Atlantic campaign is indeed of great interest to our head of state. It's just that...... You're asking for a lot of help. "Ambassador Dixon didn't have the slightest affection for the ugly-looking Japanese general in front of him, and he didn't think it was a good tactic to hit a warship with a plane! In fact, most of the German officials are also very disgusted by this. However, for the sake of the German Empire's ideal of conquering the world, he still tried to disguise a sincere smile. He smiled: "Germany is now also preparing to attack the United States. You know, it was a transatlantic expedition that only we and the Italians took part in. The Chinese are not going to participate in this war, they seem to be satisfied with their 30 million square kilometers. So you can imagine how much pressure the German industry is facing right now! ”
Nagata Tetsuyama sighed in his heart, tonight the two of them have been bargaining for the number of kamikaze forces sent by Japan and the amount of aid. But the stinginess of the Germans was also greatly unexpected! It seems that the negative effects of the defeat in Central America are fermenting, and Hitler values Japan's lives very lowly. It's probably only 200,000 Reichsmarks...... It's about the same as two tank No. 4 (and not too cheap). Hitler intended to "buy" 1,000 kamikaze fighters at this price, for a total transaction value of 200 million Reichsmarks. That's about $50 million. In addition, according to the original agreement, Germany would bear all the costs of the Japanese Navy and Army for the attack on the Americas. As for the actions of the Japanese army in Australia...... I'm sorry! There is no reason for Germany to pay for this.
In fact, Nagata did not know that Hitler was also annoyed by Japan's refusal to sign the Treaty of Rome and its invasion of Eastern Australia! Because in his opinion, the Japanese are acting in defiance of the authority of him, the "world hegemon"! And the "defection" of Churchill and the British Royal Navy was a direct consequence of the Japanese attack on Eastern Australia!
In addition, the German Führer, who had defeated the Soviet Union, Britain and France, believed that as long as Germany gathered the fleets of Germany, France, and Italy, together with about three or four million well-armed and well-trained German and Italian troops, it would be enough to conquer the Americas. It is better if China refuses to participate, and then there will be less spoils, as for Japan...... Except for suicide planes, it seems that there is no combat effectiveness, and the army has been suffering defeat since 1927, and it cannot do anything except take advantage of Germany and China.
