Chapter 1207: Clouds and clouds

Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he didn't ask Tu Mengben what he was going to take. Being able to tell Zhang Xueliang that he went to Europe to get things is already an exception.

According to the current situation, less than 10 people, including Su Zongzhe, chief of the general staff of the National Defense Forces, Tu Mengben, commander-in-chief, Lin Sen, chairman of the coalition government, and Yan Zhengqing, prime minister, are aware of this matter.

Now there is one more, but Zhang Xueliang doesn't know the whole of this plan. Just know that the coalition government has ties to Europe. And going to Europe is more about getting something.

As for what it was, he didn't know who to take it with and didn't want to know.

After that, the two brothers began to laugh after the estrangement was gone. Zhang Xueliang complained that Japan was really troublesome, and there were things that needed to be dealt with everywhere.

He was too lazy to take care of these government affairs, and just wanted to return to China as soon as possible. Tu Mengben sighed and persuaded Zhang Xueliang to be patient for a while, and the arrangements of domestic officials during this time were also very tense.

There are no longer enough students who have graduated from the School of Political Science and Law, and now the coalition government has rushed to various universities. This matter made the chickens fly and the dogs jumped, and Jia Xiaohou almost fought with the coalition government for this matter.

Most of the people snatched by the coalition government were science students. Many of them are still good seedlings valued by Jia Xiaohou, and they plan to work in R&D institutions after they have completed their studies.

This is good, before the talent is cultivated, it will be called the coalition government to cut off the beard. How can you make Jia Xiaohou not be angry?!

Lin Sen is actually helpless about this matter, the coalition government is too short of people. Everywhere is missing. Now the coalition government has money. However, there is an extreme shortage of talent in management.

These managerial talents cannot be cultivated overnight. knowledge, interpersonal relationship handling, critical accident handling, as well as the ability to control the region and the development vision...... And so on.

I have to say. In this way, only domestic universities have talents in this area. Every summer, most of the students do not go home directly. Instead, apply for an internship within the coalition government.

For the entire holiday, they receive half of the civil servant's salary. They will assist officials in their work in the national areas ruled by the coalition government.

These tasks include farming, taxation, law, ...... For the students, this is a practice for the society, and it is also a good opportunity for them to become familiar with the operation of the government.

As a result, the coalition government began to compete with the graduate schools for students from the major colleges, in order to fill the shortage of civil servants in the coalition government, which was expanding too quickly.

"Sixth brother, now we are extremely short of civil servants. Even the governance plan sent to Southeast Asia. All came to a standstill for the time being. No way, there are too few people available. Without training, Chairman Zichao and they refused to use ......"

"So. You'll have to endure a little longer. Anyway, they waited for Chairman Zichao and Premier Yan to solve this problem. to think about things in Japan......" Tu Mengben sighed helplessly and said.

"That's actually why we support the Tokugawa in Japan, no way! We have risen too fast, and there is simply not enough manpower for management. If you casually promote the inexperienced people below. Something is going to happen......"

Zhang Xueliang understands this very well. This practice of preferring lack to abuse is good. After all, these newly conquered regions are not stable areas.

If you don't send the elderly, it is likely to cause widespread ethnic conflict. When the time comes, if someone else provokes it, then these fertile lands are likely to turn into a huge powder keg.

Therefore, the managers of these areas must be old birds in the coalition government. And it has to be good at dealing with the relations between the various ethnic groups in order to ensure the interests of the coalition government on the ground.

Who should be disposed of, who should be appeased, who should be co-opted, and who should be exterminated. They have to count them all.

If an official is not careful in dealing with these matters, then the consequences will be extremely serious. It could even lead to a coalition government having to relinquish its rule over the region. It is even likely to affect the coalition government's entire Southeast Asian layout.

Therefore, the coalition government is extremely cautious in selecting officials to go to Southeast Asia. Of course. The treatment they give to these officials is also extremely high.

Not only is the level improved, but also the performance evaluation after the smooth implementation in the local area is also higher than that in the country. At the same time, the longer the tenure, the greater the room for promotion when you return to your home country.

Ten years in these regions is equivalent to 15 or even 20 years in the country. This is undoubtedly a great attraction for the current coalition government officials.

"The Tokugawa promises they wanted, I have given them. For the time being, there will be no problems in Japan, and the sixth brother of Tokugawa doesn't have to care. Wang Jiuguang will assist you in keeping an eye on them. ”

"As long as we come here during this time, we will naturally send some personnel to Japan. When the time comes, they will take over your work, and the army will withdraw to prepare for the European landings. ”

As he spoke, Tu Mengben stood up and sighed, "Sixth brother, in fact, I'm more anxious than you. But it's useless to rush these things, we have to take it step by step. Do everything at hand, and the rest will be smooth......"

Zhang Xueliang nodded helplessly, although he didn't want to stay in Japan. But Tu Menghu's words are indeed very reasonable, although this place is now calm, there are still many variables due to various reasons.

Without the deterrence of a large army, it is completely impossible. This kind of thing can only be calmed down by time. After the Japanese got used to all this, to the appearance of the Wehrmacht as conquerors.

The army will be able to evacuate. Of course, in Japan they will still keep a certain number of troops. On the one hand, it was to guard against the western Pacific, and on the other hand, it was also to contain the Soviet Union that might appear here.

Japan is an extremely important move played by the coalition government and the National Defense Forces. Because of its geographical location, Japan is also an extremely important link in the island chain around China.

From the coalition government to the top of the Wehrmacht. They all know that they have to take this place into their hands. And it is in the hands for a long time, only in this way can we attack, retreat, defend and withdraw freely.

The resources of Southeast Asia cannot be given up, and this place is related to China's access to Europe and Africa. Thereupon. Let the army stop in Japan first and start to solve the problem in Southeast Asia, and then it will be at the top of the list.

The brothers then talked about going to Europe in the future, and Zhang Xueliang left. Now it was enough for him to get the news that he could leave.

Zhang Xueliang thought that he could be the king and hegemon in Japan, and since 918, he has known that he is actually not suitable to be an all-round leader.

He is most suitable for fighting with an army. When it comes to politics, he always makes bad decisions a lot of the time. It was rare to deduct Jiang Zhongzheng, but he mistakenly thought that people would not clean him up and followed them back to Nanjing. As a result, I almost couldn't get out.

Therefore, after having this awareness, Zhang Xueliang decided not to participate in any government affairs. Single-mindedly pounced on the military. Just lead the troops to fight. Others are largely ignored.

Even in Japan's current government affairs, he has largely ignored them. Only when Wang Yajiao expressed his hope that he would intervene, he would reluctantly deal with it.

The rest of the time. He mostly stayed in his headquarters. Or go down to inspect the troops, straighten out the discipline and pay close attention to training.

The Wehrmacht is digesting the land swallowed by whales, and Moscow in the USSR has already played out pig's brains. In order to buy time, Hitler sent troops to the Soviet Union at any cost.

After the defeat of Rundstein. Hitler immediately sent 500,000 troops to support. Thenceforth. Another million German troops were organized to go to the USSR to support.

The Allies were also unable to show weakness, and with the support of the Allies, the Soviet Union began to enter a counterattack after gaining a firm foothold. To the surprise of Rundsteint and Hitler, Trotsky's death did not hit the morale of the Soviet Union.

On the contrary, the Soviets became more resilient, and they attacked the German positions day and night, regardless of casualties. A large number of artillery shells and rockets bombarded the German positions.

And those Soviet fighter pilots are almost fighting in the posture of death squads. Their madness was so frustrating that even the Germans had lingering palpitations.

"If we continue to fight like this, even if we win, we won't lose ......more than we lose," Lundstein couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at the casualty report that had been submitted.

After the failure of the Moscow offensive. The battle lines of both sides are in a stalemate. The Soviet Union, after receiving full support, launched a counteroffensive directly with the assistance of the US military.

"There have been more than 450,000 casualties. We have been able to hold on to the position so far and the position has not collapsed. This is already the greatest miracle...... "Guntel. Hans. Feng. Marshal Kluge said with a wry smile.

Rundstein, on the other hand, did not say a word, and the current situation was extremely tricky for him. Having gained a foothold, the recovered Allies completely suppressed the Germans.

Except for the air force, which still has a certain advantage, the army is basically in a state of being pressed and beaten. Although the commander of the Air Force, Herman. Goering did not tell them, but they knew in their hearts that the losses of the Air Force were also huge.

Although the Air Force produced a large number of ace pilots on the Eastern Front, with the Soviet army's death squad-like offensive, the German army's excellent pilots were constantly swallowed up by the sea.

These damned Slavs even did not hesitate to use their lives to drag the attention of the German pilots. This will create an offensive opportunity for the US pilots who cooperate with them in combat.

This approach has been tried and tested repeatedly, and the Germans simply do not dare to ignore the Soviet fighters who are chasing them. This group of madmen already has a certain amount of experience in air combat after several air battles.

If you take the pilot lightly, it is no less than putting your life in the hands of death.

"The domestic support for us has reached its limit, and the High Command has already stated that they cannot afford to give them more troops......" Marshal Kluge said after a moment of silence.

"We now have less than 2.5 million troops on hand, while the Soviet Union and the United States and other allied forces have at least 5 million troops fighting us......"

The next words, Marshal Kluger did not say. But Rundstein knew in his heart that if this kind of fighting continued, the only result for the German army would be forced to surrender.

"The Führer asked us to fight for at least two years, but I don't think we can hold it up. With such a casualty rate. We'll have to withdraw from our positions in two months at most......"

Rundstein sighed when he heard this, and said, "The Führer has approved our matter of recruiting the troops of the vassal states, but the request is that we use these people carefully......"

"In particular, pay attention to. They may collude with the Allies to attack our positions. Therefore, they must be used with caution......"

Kluge did not speak, only sneered, and those who were unwilling to cooperate with Germany had long since become Allied partisans. Only those who are willing to cooperate will make this application.

"To be honest, the Italians played well during this time. At least Giovanni. Messer did not disgrace the honor of the Roman Emperor, but it is a pity that there are too few people like him......"

Kluge immediately changed the subject, and Rundstein did not want to talk about Hitler's order.

"Giovanni. The messer is really good. It's a pity that the Italians seem to be arguing within. They are now waiting and watching, and they are not willing to send any more troops. ”

Lundstein's words made Kluge nod his head. The Italian Expeditionary Corps, which Messer now leads, has a total of 230,000 troops.

After nearly 80,000 casualties. Italy made a certain addition to them. But when the war reached a stalemate, Italy began to refrain from replenishing the expeditionary force.

And after the announcement of Japan's unconditional surrender, they even reduced the supply of ammunition. If it weren't for Rundstein and others who took out their own supplies to Italy, perhaps this expeditionary force would have run out of food.

"Where's Horty?! What I want to know is. How many people will he send to assist us?! Kluge was silent for a moment. Asked Lundstein.

"Horty, this old bastard, is no longer ready to send troops over under the pretext of road transportation difficulties......" Rundstein said through gritted teeth.

Horty. Admiral Miklosh, this is truly a legend and one of the most peculiar generals of World War II. Before World War I, he studied at the Naval Academy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the fourth power in the world at the time.

After graduating, he became a naval officer in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But then, World War I broke out. The war led to the disintegration of the defeated Austro-Hungarian Empire. And Horti then took advantage of the chaos and directly killed Bella. The Hungarian Soviet Republic, headed by Kuhn, appointed itself regent.

The general, who served as an admiral in a country without any coastline, formed the empire after taking out this Soviet government. But he did not appoint himself or find a king, but he made his position regent.

And because of the period of the First World War. The disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire led to the occupation of a large amount of territory. This led Horthy to work with Hitler, who shared the same philosophy at the time.

Of course, Hungary also benefits from this cooperation. After the campaign to attack Czechoslovakia, as well as Romania. Hungary, firmly on the side of Germany, not only regained its territory, but also gained all the areas inhabited by Hungarians in both countries.

But as time went on, especially the defeat in the Battle of Moscow, Horthy began to get nervous. He began to consciously preserve his strength and tried to get Hungary out of the war.

In his opinion, Hungary had already given enough in this war. I also got what I wanted, and it would not be a good thing for Hungary to continue.

"Their retreat was also justified, and the annihilation of the Hungarian 2nd Army in the Battle of Moscow had a great impact on them. Horthy must have taken into account the course of the war and the question of what Hungary would face if we lost......"

As he spoke, Rundstey paused and said, "Now that they are negotiating, it is still more advantageous for them." When the war is completely against us, they have fewer chips......"

"Call the Führer and submit our opinions." Rundstein was silent for a while, and said, "If Hungary can no longer cooperate with us, then they should choose someone who can cooperate with us!" ”

At this time, a group of Indians were in constant fear in Ottawa. They traveled to Ottawa with confidence, and their hopes of trying to reach out to Britain were dashed.

The British government had no one to receive them, and they didn't even bother to send a clerk to pass them off. A group of Indians, just walking in Ottawa is not staying or staying.

"A bunch of cheap minions, they know they're scared now?! Want to get the Empire's forgiveness?! These bastards, how can they not think about the faces they had when they assisted the Japanese! ”

In Parliament, a British MP pouted as to how to deal with the Indians: "Do these idiots really think that arresting a bastard will calm our anger?!" ”

"These people must be punished, and they are part of it. It's impossible to get them out! One of the councillors shouted.

has always been a pit man from the British Empire, how could he have made people so miserable?! At that time, the fleets of the British Empire cheated the natives out of their gold, and then slaughtered them easily.

Unexpectedly, feng shui takes turns. In the blink of an eye, the British Empire was pitted. The one who cheated them turned out to be the minions they thought were impossible to betray.

How can they not be angry?!

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister! I feel that we should call the Wehrmacht to carry out the agreed campaign, and it is not a pity for these minions to die. What we need to preserve is the rule of the British Empire in India! ”

Churchill couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at these parliamentarians, he finally knew why the British Empire was lonely. With such a group of people, no matter how powerful the empire is, it can't escape the fate of loneliness...... (To be continued......)
