Chapter 366: The New Year is approaching

readx; A week has passed in a blink of an eye, but within this week, the international situation has changed, and the Far East, which had just stabilized, has once again ignited the flames of war, and the European continent seems to be about to emerge from the haze of terror. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a war initiated by Germany, the European continent gradually began to stabilize with the surrender of Poland.

The Germans finally got Poland as they wished, and the Soviet Union also carved up Poland together with Germany, which in the eyes of the world should not have happened, and no one would have thought that the Soviets would actually intervene.

And it was the intervention of the Soviet Union this time that made him fall into the tongue of international strife.

On the other hand, in the Far East, after Europe quieted down, the world's eyes were once again on Asia, and Su Dao drove away the invaders by thunderous means, which completely disrupted the strategic deployment of the Western powers.

However, the Germans, as if they were in close proximity to China, launched a war almost at the same time to attract their attention, and when the people were unable to take care of the Far East, the army surrendered.

When Poland surrendered, the Western powers discovered that Su Dao was no longer the little person he was back then, and now he has enough qualifications for them to pay attention to.

Germany blitzed Poland, but the Soviet Union came to the Far East to build a gate Philippines, and in just about ten days, the entire Philippine land basically fell by more than one-third. The Chinese Expeditionary Force on the mainland of the Philippines also has more than 600,000 people.

With Manila as the center, the north has basically been completely occupied by Su Dao, and many Chinese have taken the opportunity to migrate to the northern Philippines in an attempt to seek Su Dao's protection.

The area in the middle of Gumaca in the south and Manila in the north is the area that is being contested, but according to this trend, the US military cannot compete with the expeditionary force, and hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces that are fully equipped and covered by the air force and navy, what can the US military use to confront them?

The U.S. forces are retreating and are about to be driven south of Gumaca, and further south, they are basically islands, and the land depth is insufficient, which is more conducive to the war of the expeditionary force.

Under the pressure of the navy, the army, and the air force, the next battle will be much easier, of course, provided that the United States does not increase its troops from the Philippines.

Besides, what if there is an increase in troops? The Congress has been arguing for nearly ten days, and it has not yet debated a result, and even if it comes up with a result immediately, will they have time to come to China? From the preparation of the troops, even the fastest, it will take at least three days, and it will take at least half a month on the road.

By the time they arrived in the Philippines, it was estimated that it had already fallen. In addition, Ben did not know which tendon was broken, but he actually launched a blockade in the Pacific Ocean and forbade all ships to pass through, which undoubtedly increased the cost of support for the US military.

Although the current navy does not have the ability to wipe out the U.S. navy completely, it is still no problem to find some trouble for their support fleet.

In this case, whether to lose the Philippine Army or the local Philippine Army, including the Army, which includes support, has become the focus of debate in the US Congress.

Of course, this was just a small episode, although the US Congress was arguing, but President Roosevelt's speech completely drove them to a dead end, so on the same day, Congress passed a bill to support the Philippines.

The reason why there has been no substantial progress so far is that the problem is still in the Congress, and the old men are nervously discussing how to support the situation as much as possible and avoid their own losses.

On February 5, 1940, before I knew it, another winter had passed, which was the most nourishing winter in China, there was no war, no death, some were just singing and dancing, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

And this day is also the beginning of spring, the spring flowers are blooming, and everything is recovering, indicating that this winter will leave them forever from today, and they will be greeted by a green land and a country full of vitality.

Two days later, that is, February 7, it is Chinese New Year's Eve, which should be the most important festival in Chinese history, and Chinese New Year's Eve is often a family gathering together, staying up late for New Year's Eve, eating reunion dinner, drinking auspicious wine, sending away the year full of pain and joy together, and looking forward to the beauty of the coming year.

On the streets of Jinxi, everywhere is full of the atmosphere of the New Year, strings of red lanterns are hung everywhere, and the people who buy New Year's goods are endless, the crowd is surging, and the sound of selling is a lot. To be able to live a stable year, perhaps it is their wish, and now that the stable year has finally come, families have been buying New Year's goods, for no other reason, they want to take a good **.

And the various merchants are also happy, this business is getting better day by day, making more money day by day, and most importantly, they can do business here safely, without worrying that people will come to find trouble.

In the headquarters of the expeditionary force, as always, there were busy crowds of people everywhere, and the New Year did not seem to have anything to do with them.

The communications soldiers took the time to sit on the steps in the courtyard and rest, maybe they would be needed at any time, so they also rested as much as they could, and when they had something to do, they wanted to break their legs.

The staff officers were also constantly busy, walking back and forth with telegrams or paperwork in their hands, or several staff officers getting together to discuss some things, in short, each doing their own thing, messy and neat.

"Sister-in-law, come to the commander?"

At the entrance of the headquarters, the guards looked at the visitor with a smile and asked very diligently.

"I'll look for the chief of staff, please go in and report it."

Wu Yali blushed and said her intentions shyly.

I don't know what's going on, although Wu Yali is already engaged to Su Dao, theoretically Wu Yali is already Su Dao's person, and it is normal politeness for others to call him sister-in-law or something, but whenever Wu Yali hears others call him sister-in-law, she will have an inexplicable feeling.

There was joy and excitement, but more often than not, it was shyness, which seemed to be a difficult thing to be embarrassed about.

"Sister-in-law, you just go in, anyway, you won't do anything to embarrass us, every time you come, you stand at the door, why bother."

The guard shook his head with a wry smile and said, still dissuading Wu Yali from going in directly, the two bosses in the headquarters, one is the future husband of the family, and the other is the elder brother, even if it is placed in Chairman Jiang, it can be entered without notification, but Wu Yali always stands outside the door every time she comes to the headquarters and waits for the report, and then Su Dao or Wu Zhongguo comes out in person, from the time their family came here until now, only Xiao Cheng has entered the headquarters once, and the others are standing at the door waiting.

"It's better for you to report, there are no rules, and besides, this is the headquarters, a military center, and I'm not a soldier, so it's not convenient to go in."

Wu Yali shook her head and refused.

It is said that children from single-parent families don't understand many rules, but this is not the case in Wu Zhongguo, the four children know the rules very well, only Xiaocheng is too young and not too sensible, and once ran directly into the headquarters to find Wu Zhongguo once.

It was also that time, after being known by **, he taught Xiao Cheng a hard lesson, and from then on, even Xiao Cheng stood at the mouth of the headquarters and let people report.

And Wu Zhongguo's mother often taught them that no matter how powerful they are, it is not their own, and relatives should have the consciousness of relatives, and they should not always regard themselves as a special existence, so that sooner or later they will affect others.

Wu Yali because she joined the work early and because of her age, she understands these things, and she doesn't need anyone to explain them, although she is very curious, she still stands at the door and waits.

"Xiaoli, why don't you go in?"

It didn't take long for Wu Zhongguo to trot all the way to the entrance of the headquarters.

"It's not a big deal, isn't this about to be the New Year, Mom let me ask you, see what you need?" We'll go to the street and buy one later. ”

Wu Yali was still happy to see her eldest brother, this man who was regarded as a god by others, Wu Yali also had a sense of envy.

"I don't have to buy it, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I don't lack anything, you came just in time, the bonus just issued in the morning, you take it to buy a few clothes, and go to see the dowry or something, and we will get married in a month or two, our mother's family can't give nothing."

Wu Zhongguo took out more than 1,000 fiat currency from his pocket and stuffed it directly to Wu Yali.

"Didn't you just pay for the army?"

Wu Yali looked at Wu Zhongguo with some doubts, the military salary is paid on the 15th-20th of every month, and today it is only the 5th, how can the military salary be paid in the middle?

"Well, everybody has it, it's just a matter of how much. Okay, you go back quickly, I still have a meeting to attend, so I won't go back to eat at noon. ”

Wu Zhongguo laughed, didn't say it too clearly, and after stuffing the money to Wu Yali, he turned around and walked towards the headquarters.

Bonus, also known as the year-end bonus, the soldiers have also worked hard for a year, although there is a military salary, but most of them are sent to their families, or they spend it, this is about to be the New Year, Su Dao also did not hesitate to send a year-end bonus to the soldiers, but this bonus is not as much as the usual military salary, in fact, this is just a mind.

Su Dao also issued a year-end bonus during the Chinese New Year before, but at that time, due to financial constraints and other problems, the amount issued was relatively small, and it was also issued together with the military salary before the year, and now the expeditionary force with deep pockets will naturally not lack so much money.

Wu Zhongguo trotted all the way to the conference room of the headquarters, just when the guard informed him, it happened that he was going to the conference room, and said a few words to Wu Yali, and when he returned to the conference room, the people who were going to come to the meeting were basically all there, sitting together in twos and threes chatting with each other, and Su Dao was also full of smiles on his face, chatting with the officers below.

Seeing Wu Zhongguo return to the conference room, everyone stopped, and after adjusting their mentality slightly, they entered the state of meeting. The purpose of this meeting is also very simple, it is nothing more than to make a year-end summary, and put forward the bits and pieces of the year, the places that are worthy of praise and some things that need to be corrected.

At the same time, list the goals for the coming year, of course, this will not be planned in detail, because it needs to be announced at the meeting next year, the reason why this goal is put forward is just to make their hearts a little low, how much to have a time to adapt, so as not to be caught off guard by the time.
