Chapter 17: Clouds
A night of searching for equipment everywhere in Jiang Cheng passed, and Jiang Cheng finally got together a set of strange equipment.
Military uniforms - 87 camouflage military uniforms, one set in winter and summer, although the 87 type is not as good as the 07 type, but the 87 type due to the long history, and not long after the change, there is a large amount of inventory in the country, and because of the military training in various places every year, most of the 87 types are used, so that the large number of purchases is not conspicuous.
Military boots - of course, our old tradition, liberation shoes, liberation shoes have to be said to be synonymous with our army, since the emergence to today, liberation shoes have been active in various venues, in time is now popular all kinds of fashionable shoes, liberation shoes have also been used by the working people, if there are national shoes, liberation shoes must be well-deserved. Jiang Chengding's liberation shoes are an improved version, with camouflage, stab-proof new liberation shoes, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in history, due to the country's economic difficulties, the national army at that time was mostly wearing cloth shoes and straw shoes, cloth shoes had to be only available to the Central Army, and most of the miscellaneous armies were wearing straw shoes, which greatly reduced the speed of our army's movement, and at the same time a lot of non-combat attrition occurred. Of course, the Red Army, an outlier created with the spirit of Ge Ming, is not counted, it is an iron army that can outperform cars with bare feet. Especially when fighting in winter, Japanese soldiers often wore overcoats, thick fur hats, and leather boots. And our army, even the Central Army, cannot guarantee that everyone will have cotton shoes to wear, let alone the Red Army or other miscellaneous armies.
Helmet - GK80 steel helmet, weighing 1.1KG, is the first generation of bulletproof helmet successfully developed in the 70s, officially equipped with troops in the early 80s. It is also a product with a large inventory.
Body armor - domestic Yongtai body armor, weight 6KG, five levels of protection, I originally wanted to buy domestic Protector brand body armor, but unfortunately it is a military product, I can't find a large number of sales on the Internet, I had to buy a private body armor company products, I don't know how the quality is, try it first.
Other bits and pieces, such as a telescope, an armed belt, a 78-style kettle, and finally decided to buy some sapper shovels.
The sapper shovel is a hand-to-hand combat weapon, especially the modern sapper shovel, which can be folded and made of good material, and the cutting of people's heads is not an ordinary refreshing ah, each piece came with 200 copies, and Jiang Cheng, who stayed up all night, fell asleep.
Jiang Cheng fell asleep here, and the Tyrannosaurus team that monitored him was blind.
"What's all this mess about? Is he going to make a movie? The eyed otaku asked strangely.
"What kind of movie does you need such a combination and quantity, this is two hundred copies, and what kind of costume is this? 5, 60s shoes, 70s kettle, 80s military uniforms, 90s gas masks, plus modern body armor? But what are 200 telescopes for? Are all his soldiers officers? And what are so many sapper shovels for? The battle of two hundred sapper officers? What kind of TV theme is this going to shoot and dress up like this? The other asked strangely, frowning with glasses. Do you want to riot if you don't make movies? As soon as you dress up like this, you will be watched by onlookers. There's no way to sneak up on it. β
The purple-haired girl said excitedly, "How long have you not watched TV, the current war movies are all conscience, have you seen everyone a five-and-a-half-and-a-half Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, have you ever seen a hand-tossed devil, have you ever seen a guerrilla holding Barrett?" Didn't you say it on the Internet, it's not easy for the Japanese, you can resist for eight years. β
Tyrannosaurus sighed, "War movies should make everyone think of danger in times of peace, know the cruelty of war, and cherish the current life, what is this?" He also said, "This kid's behavior is weird, he first bought a pharmaceutical factory, and now he orders a lot of such products, I don't know what the hell is going on." Just as the Tyrannosaurus was about to issue an order to continue surveillance, the phone suddenly rang. When the tyrannosaurus saw it, he immediately replied with a stern face: "Skynet Team C requests instructions." "Yes" "Yes" "Yes" "Yes"
Hanging up the phone, the captain sighed and said, "Withdraw all the forces to monitor the target, we have the latest order, ordering us to fly to the northwest immediately, where there are terrorists infiltrated by hostile forces, and we are required to send them back to their hometown immediately." β
The purple-haired girl shouted, "What about Sister Yan?" Whatever, or let her come back? β
The captain thought for a while and said, "I still feel that there is something wrong with this person, let's let her continue to get close to the target, let's withdraw first." "Just call Sun Ning as you speak." I'm a tyrannosaurus, the plan is canceled, and you continue to lurk. β
Sun Ning was stunned for a moment and said, "Then leave me alone?" β
The Tyrannosaurus frowned and said, "Remember your identity, you are a soldier, no bargaining, you continue to lurk until you wake up, I heard that you have not been very friendly to your target in the past few days, give me some restraint, strive to gain his trust, and rely on you to dig out his background." β
Sun Ning didn't dare to say anything when he was scolded, so he had to respond "obey"
In this way, when Jiang Cheng didn't know it, a big crisis above his head was inexplicably solved.
When Jiang Cheng woke up the next day, he felt that he had too many things to bring this time, and there would be more and more in the future, and there was just nothing to do in the past few days, so it was better to go back secretly once and absorb some Yu Neng.
Fortunately, a time and space point was set up in the suburbs when I left last time, and it happened that this time it could be used to sneak back, anyway, these military supplies will not arrive in a few days, just do it, Jiang Cheng changed his clothes and immediately crossed back to the Republic of China, and secretly stayed in a farmhouse restaurant for one night and rushed back, this time and again, the transmission distance is close to 4 meters, and it can be said that it will definitely be raised to four meters next time.
But what Jiang Cheng didn't know was that in the past few days, the Shenzhou Continent of the Republic of China had slowly become cloudy.
On March 11, 1937, when Jiang Cheng was still looking at the pharmaceutical factory, Nanjing Meiling Palace suddenly came with a lot of guests.
Meiling Palace, formerly known as Xiaohongshan Residence, is located on Xiaohongshan Mountain, 200 meters east of Sifang City in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing. Because the Purple Mountain is also known as Jiang Mountain, the villa built in Jiang Mountain, the country surname Jiang, the mountain surname Jiang, and the villa also surname Jiang, it is made in heaven and coincidence, so this proposition is exactly in line with Chiang Kai-shek's mind. At that time, the estimated cost was 261,410 yuan. However, the whole building, because it was too magnificent, and the construction process was greatly overspent, which was criticized by public opinion, so that the construction was stopped for a time and was not completed until 1934.
At this time, there was an unwelcome guest in the Meiling Palace, who was none other than Takeo Imai, the Japanese military attache in China.
"We, the Great Japanese Empire, have come with great peace sincerity, and I hope that Chairman Chiang will seriously consider it." Takeo Imai stood aside and bowed.
"So can you withdraw from North China?" Jiang asked as he sat on the side, drinking tea with his eyes closed.
"As long as China stops resisting Japan, recognizes Manchukuo, and concludes an agreement between the two countries, Japan only needs to station troops in specific places in China, and we do this to prevent the further expansion of red." Takeo Imai thought about it for a while and said.
"Is that so? Well, I see, is that what you mean in China? Jiang intermediary didn't say anything, just asked.
"Yes, that's what the Tokyo Cabinet meeting meant. Just as Foreign Minister Naotake Sato 8 said in his speech at the House of Lords that diplomacy should respect each other and renegotiate with China on an equal footing. We hope that we can live in peace with China, and as long as the Chinese Government shows its sincerity, we in the Great Japanese Empire will certainly grant peace to China. Takeo Imai said.
"Mr. Imai, do you know the spring?" Jiang said suddenly.
"I know, I don't know what Jiang Gong means?" Takeo Imai asked.
"Now our country is a big spring, it has been pressed to the extreme, as long as it is pressed again, his counterattack will not only make all the work done in front of him come to naught, but also hurt the people next to him, do you understand?" Jiang Intermediary stood up and said as he walked. "I studied in Japan, many of us in the White Party have been to Japan, it is you who have made our relationship like this, and you are still asking me to stop the following anti-Japanese resistance, if I say this, I will have to move out of here the next day." After speaking, he sighed and said, "You tell you Tokyo, or withdraw from North China, this will be good for us, so that we can continue to talk, and there will be a dawn of peace." β
Takeo Imai frowned, shook his head and said, "Then there is one more thing, we in Tokyo hope that your government can manage Weihua Company, why do you raise the price of medicine for us Japanese people so much, this is a very inhumane and shameful act." β
Jiang Intermediary was not angry, but smiled and said, "We are the government, and we can control what price their company wants to sell." After speaking, he ignored what Imai Takeo didn't say, and said directly, "Come on, send off guests." β
When Imai Takeo went out, a tall, thin, and civilian-like man came out from behind a screen and said to Chiang Kai-shek, "The Japanese wolf are ambitious, they want to roast us on the stove." β
Jiang Intermediary sighed and said, "It seems that the Japanese will not back down, it's okay, anyway, sooner or later they will tear their faces, Thunder, the wind and rain are coming." β
Chen Bui nodded and said, "Chairman, two things have happened, one is that the war in the Hexi Corridor is over, and the Red Party is defeated, and the other is that the German regiment commander Falkenhausen asks to see him, and I seem to have a request for us."
Jiang Zhong sighed when he heard this and said, "What's the use of winning now, the overall situation of resisting Japan has been achieved, and it is difficult to restart the war, and the power generation in the northwest is not successful, and the most important thing now is domestic peace, unity, and foreign humiliation." But I don't know if the bandits over there listen to us or not. Niang Xipi is a group of bandits who mislead the party and the country!! Also, you see what's going on in Germany. β
Chen Bui pondered for a moment and said, "Chairman, I have a hunch that this time the Germans came for penicillin, and the German FΓΌhrer Hitler began to announce the abolition of the Locarno Convention last year, and sent troops into the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, and built fortifications along the western border of Germany. The West is invisible, but his ambition to revive Germany has long been known to the world, and I can guarantee that there will be war in Europe in the future, and they must have seen the potential of penicillin in war, so they rushed to us to ask for benefits. Jiang Intermediary smiled with satisfaction, "Just like I thought, let him in." I've got an idea. β
At this moment, the Sino-German relationship is extremely close, and it is known as the comprehensive cooperation between China and Germany, and the Central Army of the White Party is even more fully Germanized, but due to financial reasons, the progress is slow, and only a few ace divisions have achieved the German mechanization of light weapons, and the heavy weapons are not half a little worse.
It was a standard Aryan who came in, blonde and blue-eyed, with no beard and not much hair, and when he saw Jiang Zhong, he said very enthusiastically, "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet me, respected Chairman Jiang"
Jiang also smiled and replied, "It's a pleasure to meet you," and then asked Falkenhausen to sit down and began to talk slowly.
On the other side, Takeo Imai got out of the Mirei Palace and got into his car, and the deputy who was waiting inside asked "How is it, Imai-kun, did Jiang Intermediary agree to our suggestion?" β
Takeo Imai shook his head and said, "It seems that the Xi'an Incident has completely changed the political atmosphere in China, and we basically have no practical results in Nanjing this time. β
The deputy thought for a while and said, "Should we change our thinking, Zhina is the best at infighting, can we talk to some Chinese who are excluded from real power, they may be helpful to the cause of the empire"
Hearing this, Rikou's eyes flashed and said, "Let's go, go find Wang Jingwei." β
As a result, when he arrived at Wang Jingwei's house, he was told that Wang Jingwei had set off to Suiyuan to worship the soldiers who died in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, which made Imai Takeo half angry, so he had no choice but to go back to the Japanese Legation to send a telegram to report the situation.
In the Meiling Palace, Jiang Intermediary couldn't help frowning in the face of Falkenhausen's request for Germany's desire to obtain penicillin's method of making zuΓ², and at first he thought that he was just asking for a large amount of penicillin, but didn't this prescription cut off people's money? So he said thoughtfully, "This penicillin is owned by a company called Weihua in Shanghai, if your German friends really want it, I can ask someone to connect you." After speaking, he didn't say anything, looking at Falkenhausen, Falkenhausen said with understanding: "Our head of state heard that your country is facing the threat of Japan, and he is very anxious for our friends, I don't know if you need some help." Jiang Intermediary laughed when he heard this, "You talk about this, Wang Chonghui, and we will always remember the friendship of German friends." β
After seeing Germany go out, Jiang said, "Send a telegram to Yu Qiaqing and ask him to take that young man to Nanjing to see me quickly." β
The clerk wrote it down and immediately went out.
And when Yu Qiaqing in Shanghai saw this telegram, he was anxious, this Jiang Cheng was elusive, who knows when he will come back, how can Yu Qiaqing report to Nanjing, so he had to vaguely say that Jiang Cheng had gone abroad and went to Nanjing immediately after returning to China.
Not to mention Yu Qiaqing, who is looking forward to Jiang Cheng's return soon, at this moment in the House of Representatives in Tokyo, Japanese Foreign Minister Naotake Sato has just made an explanation of not changing the China policy of the former cabinet in order to respond to the change in diplomatic attitude toward China on the 8th, which has caused great dissatisfaction in Japanese military circles.
After the meeting, Naotake Sato was waiting for something in a restaurant with an iron face, and after a while, a tall and thin man with a mustache walked in, it was the current cabinet minister of Japan, Hayashi Mijuro.
Lin Mijuro saw Sato Naotake's iron-faced face and laughed, "How about it, I was embarrassed by the group of people in the House of Representatives for a long time." β
Naotake Sato drank a glass of sake, sighed, and said, "Shiro, it's not that I'm angry in the House of Representatives, I'm worried about our country, are we really going to war with China?" β
Lin Mijuro sat on the opposite side and said with a strange face, "Shina is just a big piece of fat, now Amaterasu God blesses, we can finally eat this piece of fat, this is the only chance in four thousand years, do you mean that we can't give up, do you want our children and grandchildren to be on this island that doesn't know when it will sink?" After speaking, he drank a glass of wine and said, "Don't worry, the strength of the empire and China is like a cloud of mud, and if it really starts, someone in the staff predicts that the battle will end in three months." β
Naotake Sato poured a glass of sake for Hayashi Mijuro, and the geisha outside also began to play the shamisen, Sato Naotake was entangled for a moment and said, "I'm just worried that China is too big for us to fight, you must know that no nation can really destroy China for more than 4,000 years, can we?" β
Maybe it was because the wine came up, Lin Mi Shilang laughed and said, "That's because the opponent of China is not our Yamato nation, you see, didn't the Mongols and Manchurians beat down China back then, and what are these people now?" It's just a dog in the empire, the dogs all win, will we still lose, don't worry about winning or losing now, just now there was news from Nanjing, China rejected our request, Wang Jingwei also ran to Suiyuan and said that he wanted to worship the fallen soldiers, ridiculous, hum, the war will make these stupid people sober up. β
Sato Naotake suddenly stood up and knelt down and said, "Lin Miaojun, try again, I am sending someone to seek peace, as long as China promises to give us Northeast and North China, we can't coexist peacefully, after all, we are all yellow people, and our real opponent should be a white ghost." β
Lin Mianjuro closed his eyes and said, "Someone's coming." β
A Japanese officer opened the door and sat down on his knees and said, "Hey! β
"Order the North China side to prepare for battle, and in addition, send another team of diplomats to Nanjing to talk to Chiang. In the name, let's say it's an "economic investigation" group. Hayashi said.
After the Japanese military department wrote it down, it said that it understood and retreated, and Lin Mijuro said to Sato Naotake again, "I dare to say that this must be in vain, but this time the matter in the House of Representatives made me understand that this is a ** annoyance, if the battle really happens, these people who only know Qing talk will definitely delay the great cause of the empire, come, let's discuss how to deal with these people." With that, the two devils sat down together and chattered secretly.
On the one hand, the Japanese army is around Beiping, along the railway line more than 10,000 Japanese troops, in the north of Rehe, the Japanese Kwantung Army continues to assemble, the northwest Chahar has about 40,000 puppet Mongolian troops, and the east has more than 10,000 puppet troops of the Hebei Eastern Return Communist Autonomous Government.
At this moment, at the gate of Beiping City, there was a group of officers waiting for something, and after a while, a signal soldier rode a horse and shouted, "The commander is back, and he has a lot of artillery behind him." When a resolute-eyed, tall and bearded officer heard this, he immediately said, "Have you seen clearly, the commander didn't bring a cannon when he went out, did you see the commander?" The signal soldier shook his head and said, "The commander was in the car, and he didn't see me, but he saw several brothers in the guard company I knew, and they must be the commander." "Lin Ge, what are you worried about?" A white fat officer smiled and said, "Those devils still dare to coerce the army commander, can Lao Song be a person who can be coerced?" And they are all their own brothers, and I see, eighty percent of them are Japanese who give us gifts. Tong Linge nodded and smiled, "I've been having nightmares lately, I'm probably a little nervous, what your Chief of Staff Zhang said must be right." β
After a while, a team of people and horses came to everyone, in front of a dozen cavalry to open the way, a car in the middle, followed by dozens of people, and dozens of horses, most of the horses are still hanging cannons, everyone is a soldier, decades of veterans, at a glance, this cannon is a Japanese-style Meiji 41 75MM mountain gun.
When everyone was puzzled, Song Zheyuan got out of the car and said, "Rough mother, what kind of expressions do you have, I haven't seen so many cannons." β
Tong Linge just wanted to step forward and ask what was going on, but was pulled by Zhang Yueting, Zhang Yueting said, "It's so cold this day, everyone has been freezing for a long time, let's go back and talk about it." β
Song Zheyuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go back." So the group went to the city, and a big man with firewood on his back not far away saw all this, and went out of the city to the east.
