"The President, Speaker Chan and Mr. Koichi Tokuda are here." Lu Kai, the new secretary to the president, stood at the door restrainedly. He had only been in the Secretariat for a few days and was still a little nervous.

In the meeting room, North Korean President Choi An-in sat the chairman of the Singapore Autonomy Council, Tan Kah Kee, who studied in China and joined the National Society after returning to North Korea, and Chen Kah Kee, the chairman of Singapore's autonomy committee. He has been low-key and has not been noticed by the outside world until Jin Jiu stepped down and was supported, and he was gradually noticed by various countries. In addition to the two of them and Yang Qiu, Miao Luo also sat next to him to accompany him, and when he heard that another guest was visiting, he stood up first and went out to greet the guest instead of Yang Qiu.

In her ten-year career as first lady, she has held more positions than Yang Qiu, from industry and commerce to peasant associations, various feminist movements and honorary titles, and has developed an elegant, capable and sassy style. After walking out of the door, I saw Chen Guofu in a Mao suit and Tokuda Qiuyi in a black suit walking towards him. She knew Tokuda Koichi, and she also knew that this middle-aged man with mixed Ryukyu and Samoto was the person her husband wanted to woo the most now, so she took the initiative to take two steps forward: "Mr. Tokuda, welcome, Chenhua has been waiting for you for a long time." The first lady greeted him personally, which startled Tokuda. You must know that the current Yang Qiu is no longer just the president of China. After Britain and the United States did not go well in Europe, in order to win over China, they hoped that he would continue to send troops to Europe like last time, so they touted him every day as the leader of Asia and the Allied triumvirate, and even put him and George Washington together, calling him the founder of the new world order. Therefore, as his wife, it is not as simple as being flattered to personally welcome a foreign politician who has not yet entered the stream.

Detian wanted to wait for Yang Qiu's reception to end before bothering, but Miao Luo directly brought him and Chen Guofu into the living room. Seeing him, Yang Qiu immediately got up and took his hand cordially: "Mr. Tokuda, we haven't seen each other for almost a year, right?" The affectionate tone made Tokuda more and more excited, and his face turned a little red: "President, you are too polite, Tokuda has done nothing so far, and he is really ashamed of your teachings." He has been going to China for many years, and in the early days he lived in Yanjing for several years to learn the ideas of the national community, and he is very fluent in Chinese.

After greeting him, Yang Qiu introduced Cui Anren and Chen Jiageng to him. Cui Anren is more familiar with him, and the two were classmates when they joined the National Society in Yanjing. Tan Kah Kee had also heard about it, but when he heard that he was now the chairman of the Singapore Autonomous Council, his heart jumped twice. Because this means that Singapore is very likely to read after the war, and this person is probably one of the candidates specially arranged by Yang Qiu. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a few more looks.

At the very least, everyone is currently working on the same goal, and the conversation is not restrained, and it quickly gets to the point. "Mr. Tokuda, what's the situation on your side now?" Although there would be comprehensive information every few days, Yang Qiu still wanted to hear what was in Tokuda's eyes, and even several other people pricked up their ears. "I'm afraid Tojo is stepping down." Tokuda said. With the successive defeats of the army, especially the disastrous defeat of the navy, the top management of the company already predicted that it was about to fail, so at the meeting of the five ministers in front of the palace held by Hirohito, some people had already pointed the finger at Hideki Tojo, demanding that he take responsibility for the defeat and step down as soon as possible to calm down the people's anger. However, the War Department has not yet spoken, because the Army believes that as long as the DPRK is still in its hands, it is possible to continue fighting. The internal friction at the top and the bottom of society are also turbulent, especially the rainbow bombing, which has too much impact. The vast majority of the cities have been paralyzed, citizens have taken refuge in the countryside, more than seventy percent of the factories have been suspended, and the military has ordered the confiscation of civilian metals in order to raise funds and materials. In order to solve the source of oil, all the machines that used oil were stopped, and some people even came up with the idea of boiling oil with pine roots. The food problem that Yang Qiu is most concerned about is also very serious. As Xu Huansheng intensified his efforts to sow butterfly mines to destroy agriculture and gradually extended the bombing to the countryside, it is expected that the summer grain output will fall by half compared with before the war, but the bombing has only been two months so far, so there has not been a large-scale famine.

It is said that everyone wants to see civil strife at the top of the country, but the army's stubborn style of resisting to the end has made several people present secretly grit their teeth. What worries Tokuda is that the top management of Komoto is also aware that China's long-term blockade may lead to civil strife, so they send troops to attack the opposition such as Kokusha to death, and also let Kenji Dohihara, the chief intelligence officer of Komoto, personally take charge. So in recent months, the losses of the national community have been very large. He came this time in the hope of counterattacking the DPRK as soon as possible, and as long as the DPRK's army is defeated, there will inevitably be a major political earthquake in the country, which will help him develop and make profits. "Mr. Tokuda, don't worry, President Yang mentioned you just now, and asked all of us to find a way to support you. You can also rest assured that the order to counterattack our country has been given and will begin tomorrow morning. Cui Anren said next to him. He was the most anxious to counterattack, because his prestige and merits could not completely convince the public, so he very much hoped that through this counterattack, the entire Korean Peninsula would be completely liberated in one go.

Yang Qiu understood his thoughts, but he didn't break it, and continued to ask, "Then Mr. Tokuda, what are you going to do next?" ”

"I'm also struggling with this. Despite the chaos, Hirohito and his lackeys have much tighter internal supervision. Newspapers and radio continue to lie and fool the people, so that many people do not know what is going on outside and that the army has failed. ”

Yang Qiu nodded, saying that this country is respectful and orderly, the concept of hierarchy is strict, and the emperor system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it is not easy to provoke large-scale civil strife. Just like the last time the rice was scratched, it was so big, and in the end, Hirohito said a few light words, and it was basically over. This is also the reason why he asked Chu Nan to bring a letter to Shen Honglie, preparing to establish an anti-Japanese training camp in the Ryukyus. Chen Guofu is now the chairman of the National Society, and he is very concerned about foreign national organizations, and when he heard that the political axe was still propagating lies, he was also a little angry, and when he saw the newspaper on the table, he immediately handed it to Tokuda: "Mr. Tokuda, can you spread this news back?" ”

Along the way, he hid in the east province, so Tokuda didn't pay attention to the news outside at all. When he picked up the newspaper and saw the photos and reports on the front page, his blood immediately surged, and he jumped up and stomped his feet again and again: "Executioner! This butcher, executioner! "It turned out that the newspaper was full of news and photos of the Ryukyu Massacre. He was originally a mixed-race child, so he has always been looked down upon by his relatives and the real person.

When the news of the Ryukyu Massacre was published in newspapers, it caused a great sensation at home and abroad. However, Yang Qiu understood that even if this matter was known to the people, it would not become a cause for civil strife, so he comforted him and said, "Mr. Tokuda, people can't be resurrected after death. What we need to do now is not to curse the cruelty of the enemy, but to act on it! It is said that this country has reached a dead end, just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty before the First Sino-Japanese War, and if it continues to adhere to the current system, it will undoubtedly be irresponsible to the millions of people of Japan and the people of Asia! Something like Ryukyu can't be guaranteed that it won't happen anywhere else? Therefore, I will fully support your cause of overthrowing the emperor, so that more people can see clearly the cancer of the clique parasitic on the constitutional system! Your job is to get more people to join us until this extreme system is completely dismantled! I think that instead of focusing on armed overthrow and politics, more attention should be paid to land and food. Landlords, feudal lords, and chaebols are the three major cancers, and they are also the core pillars of the current politics. ”

"In terms of land." Yang Qiu slowly analyzed the political composition of Yue Ben and put forward the focus of work: "The enemy forces are still very strong, but you can rest assured that standing behind you is not only our Chinese political axe, but also hundreds of millions of Asian people. Personally, I believe that the war against the Japanese and the post-war transformation work may be a great opportunity for us to set a good example of Asia's glorious reading policy and guide Asian countries and nations to realize true reading ability. I also believe that Asia is not China's Asia, but the Asia of all Asian people, so as long as we join hands, we will be able to usher in an era of prosperity in Asia. ”

"Asian Glorious Reading Power." Chen Guofu and everyone's eyes slowly lit up.

Yang Qiu explained his new Asian concept and plan to Tokuda and others, and the magnificent picture scroll of Asian reading power deeply attracted everyone. It wasn't until Miao Luo came to call everyone to eat that he realized that the sky was already gray. "President, Baohang is here." Yang Qiugang was about to entertain everyone for dinner in person, but Yan Baohang blocked him in the office, so he had to ask his wife and Chen Guofu to take everyone to the restaurant first.

"What's the matter?"

"Look at this, President." Yan Baohang handed the telegram to him with a happy face: "It has just been deciphered, and it has been verified from other sources." Judging by the telegram, there were quite a few sailors who were making trouble. Yang Qiu picked up the telegram and read it carefully. The telegram was sent from Kanagawa Prefecture to the Tokyo base camp, saying that a wage disturbance broke out in the Kamoto navy, which had been relocated to Atami, and that hundreds of frustrated sailors were dissatisfied with the arrears of pay and corporal punishment, and attacked the political apparatus and robbed a lot of money.

"You mean, take advantage of it?"

Yan Baohang calmly analyzed: "The scale and gaffe are not serious, but the inducements are very beneficial to us. As you know, it is now widely believed in the country that it is the failure of the navy that causes the country's suffering. So I thought, this is an opportunity! According to intelligence, at present, the navy is no longer able to sustain itself, and it is unable to even scrape together fuel, and about 50,000 sailors are idle, and the financial appropriations have basically stopped, and many sailors have to go to the army to make a living. So I thought, maybe this can be a breakthrough for us, and if necessary, it can also create contradictions between the army and the navy. "Before the war, the navy, that is, the pride of the sky, is basically the master with eyes on the door of the head. However, with the existence of the Combined Fleet in name only, the remaining warships have also been bombed repeatedly, basically losing the ability to go to sea, and have become a laughing stock of the army. This huge psychological gap is indeed worth making a fuss about, not to mention that the navy is not like the army, and the whole god is stubborn.

"If it doesn't work, let the inside instigate an incident. Isn't there a shortage of steel? The Navy's pile of rags, if you tear it down, you can make up hundreds of thousands of tons. Yan Baohang bared his white teeth and was gloomy. Yang Qiu's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he vaguely remembered that the battleship Mutsu had sunk because of the sailors' trouble. However, this matter was covered very tightly, and even after the war, there were very few materials, which shows how grim the internal situation of the navy was at that time. Therefore, Yan Baohang's move may really be a breakthrough. Thinking of this, he raised his head, happened to see a mouth full of white teeth, joked, and returned the telegram to his chief of strategic intelligence: "Don't laugh, if you laugh like this, I won't be able to eat." Just follow your method, let Li Zhenzhong be responsible for finding out the bottom first, and tell him not to worry, he said that he is not exhausted, and it is best to delay until the summer grain harvest is poor. On Tokuda's side, I'll ask for advice later. ”

"By the way, what's going on with the Liberator pistol and the weather jammer?" Seeing Yan Baohang nodded, Yang Qiu packed up his things and walked towards the restaurant.

"The production of pistols has begun, weather jammers, you have to ask the Air Force. President, do you really think that airplanes can interfere with the weather? Even if it can interfere, what's the use? Do you want to create a sunny day every day over the book? ”

"Of course, it can interfere, for example, on rainy days, causing floods and mudslides to increase rain, or that snow intensifies in winter." The Liberator pistol, an inexpensive, repellent weapon for the repressors, was suitable for mass dropping. Yang Qiu was ready to wait for the signs of turmoil in Yuben and then airdrop it to Yuben to intensify the civil strife. As for the jammer, it was more special, he came up with it from the experience of the Vietnam War, mainly because he felt that the butterfly mines and bombs were too expensive, and he had not developed the 'Agent Orange' so far, otherwise there would be no need to bother.

But when Yan Baohang's words were heard, he couldn't help but sketch a miserable picture. "In a harsh winter when nearly half of the population is homeless and the children and daughters cannot be exchanged for food and clothing, when the wind and snow continue, the scale and scale of the wind and snow are suddenly several times that of previous years."

On the defense line of the Yalu River, where you can't see your fingers, steel beasts, teams of soldiers, and cannons quickly enter the battle position in a deliberately lowered voice.

This night was tense and exciting for most of the officers and men of the Northeast Group Army who entered the DPRK to fight. Because many of them were new recruits who put on their uniforms after the start of the war. The subconscious fear of war, the desire for victory, and the excitement of making a contribution are mixed in my heart, and I am panicked and hesitant. "A bunch of recruit eggs." Sitting in his favorite half-track command car, Zhuo Fan withdrew his gaze from the faces of the recruits, looked at his watch without hurry, and the lines at the corners of his mouth gradually hardened. 3 armored divisions, 1 infantry division and 2 infantry divisions said from the bottom of his heart, he was not worried about his troops, if it were not for the special terrain, he was even sure to enter Seoul within a week.

His real mind is still on the Western Front in Central Asia, how is the fight over there? After a long winter of recovery, did the Soviet army come up with new tactics and new equipment? When the southeast pins down nearly half of the country's troops, will the distant supply lines be able to support the counteroffensive of millions of Soviet troops? And one more big problem! The main German army was rapidly approaching Madrid, and if Britain and the United States lost the battle and could not hold Gibraltar, how would the president respond at that time?

"Three minutes to go!" Wu Qiwen got into the command car. This officer, who had participated in the battle of the Arcarek tank and fought with Zhuo Fan all the way to Petropavlovsk, has now become Zhuo Fan's chief of staff. He got into the car, took out two binoculars from under his seat, and handed one to him: "This is a rare sight." ”

"yes." Zhuo Fan smiled, cleaned up his mood, and asked the driver to open the top warehouse and raise the binoculars.

When the watch hand came to one point, the Korean War officially began! In the early morning of May 17, 19,326 artillery pieces on the defense line of the Yalu River roared at the same time, and the intensity of the shells was unprecedented. An hour later, the first batch of 44 divisions and 670,000 soldiers of the Sino-Korean coalition launched a counteroffensive from Sinuiju, Manpo, Hyesan, Mosan and Hunchun at the same time. By 5 p.m. that day, the Zhuofan cluster, which had broken through from the direction of Sinuiju, had broken through Guseong and penetrated 57 kilometers into North Korea. (To be continued)
