"Where has Xue Yue's cluster arrived?"

"Well, now the strikers have reached the outside of Delhi and broken up a blocking force of several thousand Indian Red Army and workers. According to the information obtained from the interrogation of the captives, Delhi seems to be an empty city. ”

"Is it really an empty city? So when is Xue Yue going to enter Delhi? ”

"The siege was laid out last night, and now ...... Probably has been punched in, and soon there will be a telegram return. ”

Chang Ruiqing tapped on the map with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Liu Bcheng and Xue Boling have made a miraculous achievement now, and the capital of India has been beaten down for them like this, what a miracle!" By the way, what is the situation in Punjab? It's the largest granary in India, and the Indian GCD didn't burn the wheat there, right? ”

Zhao Fatzi was dutifully explaining to Chang Ruiqing, and when he heard Chang Ruiqing ask about food, he smiled and said: "Of course not, I don't know if Comrade Lu Yi is soft-hearted or our troops are advancing too fast, the wheat in the fields of the East and West Punjab States is intact, and now the autumn harvest has begun." The MSLIN Union estimates that more than 18 million tonnes of wheat will be harvested in East and West Punjab alone this autumn! Yaoru, these food problems in the areas controlled by the M's Lynn Alliance and Allah can be solved. It's just that...... The territory led by Comrade Lu Yi is going to starve, and I don't know that those Indian Ah San are so hungry that they can't stand it, and they rise up against India? ”

Chang Ruiqing stood up, picked up the military hat on the map table, shook his head and said: "Don't think about things so easily, Indian GCD is different from our Chinese GCD, they are not afraid of famine." You'll know later...... It is not easy to defeat the GCD in India by starvation, at least for decades before it can be effective. ”

Hungry for decades? Are there any living people in India? Zhao Fatzi shook his head with a smile and handed a copy of the telegram in his hand to a staff officer. Then he accompanied Chang Ruiqing towards the outside of the war room and said with a smile: "Brother Yaoru, don't you plan to save the Indian people from the clutches of India?" Do you really want them all to starve to death? But can we get out of the Indian battlefield? It may be difficult for Jinnah's Muslin coalition and Yusuf's Allah forces to maintain the situation there...... I roughly estimated that even if we were able to defeat the Northwest Front of India and the Northeast Front of India and G, the strength of the Northwest Front that India and G could control would be at least three or four million! However, their food supply this year should be quite difficult, and the soldiers will be in chaos without food. This is a good opportunity to eliminate the GCD in India in one fell swoop! ”

Chang Ruiqing was about to answer, when he saw Sun Yuexun, Minister of National Education, already standing in the corridor outside waiting for him. He hurriedly said to Zhao Zhen: "Youlin, we shouldn't get too involved in India. It is not impossible to conquer the whole of India now, but that is not a benefit but a responsibility. The jobs of 350 million people will fall on our shoulders, and we will not be able to cry when the time comes! I know that India has always been one of the three major grain producing regions, and the Punjab Plain is the richest. Bangladesh is second. The middle and upper reaches of the Ganges are again. Now the Punjab Plain belongs to Pakistan and Bangladesh to the East Indies and the Republic of Yasran...... There is only one plain left in the middle and upper reaches of the Ganges River for the Indian GCD, and they will not be able to build a great power that can threaten us anyway. Because, there is not enough food to feed enough Indian Ahsan. So don't eliminate the GCD in India, let Lu Yi slowly worry about the food problem of the Indian people! ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, saluted and turned to leave. Sun Yuexun's side of the political party and politics, he has never been involved, which is why Chang Ruiqing now puts him in the position of chief of the general staff, the first person in the army. Compared with Bai Chongxi and Wu Shi. Zhao Zhen had the least ideas on politics and the least contact with political party figures. At most, it's just a face-to-face hello.

Sun Yuexun is now Ben San's age, and she has completely transformed from Lori to a, but she doesn't look old, her baby face is still very likable, and her figure is extremely plump. Probably because of her "cultivation", she is in awe and obedience to Chang Ruiqing from the bottom of her heart, and she is quite able to figure out the "holy will", although she does not have the status of Mrs. Chang, but she is extremely favored. And the work is also relatively reliable, and the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity of Nuoda will be taken care of by her in an orderly manner.

Seeing Chang Ruiqing coming over, Sun Yuexun immediately bowed and said softly, "Sir, what are you looking for me?" Chang Ruiqing looked left and right, beckoned to Sun Yuexun, and then walked towards his office in the Ministry of National Defense, Sun Yuexun followed, and the two entered the office one after the other. Chang Ruiqing sat down on the sofa, while Sun Yuexun sat beside him, looked at him with a smile, and said softly: "Sir, what do you want Xiaomei to do?" ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled: "Just now Zhao Youlin came to report that the Indian war has ended, and Delhi will be able to take it today and tomorrow...... Next up will be Japan's turn. Xiaomei, I want to hear what is really going on in your and your people's hearts. ”

Sun Yuexun thought for a while, and said with a faint smile: "Sir, whether it is a member of the clan or a Japanese, I have never believed in the principle of convincing people with virtue. The reason why Xiaomei is convinced of Mr. is because of the strength of Mr. Xiaomei has to surrender completely, and this surrender will not make Xiaomei unhappy in the slightest, it is truly happy and convinced. So, sir, if you want to realize the Sino-Japanese alliance, please conquer Japan by overwhelming force! ”

"Conquer ...... by force" Chang Ruiqing frowned slightly, "Xiaomei, in fact, I now have a strategy of surrendering without standing. As long as the Japanese and the Japanese are frustrated in their southward march to Australia and the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet is severely damaged, I can turn Japan into a protectorate of the Great China Federation on the condition of providing protection to the Japanese and maintaining the rule of the Japanese and the Japanese...... Of course, Japan must bear a very heavy burden of war reparations against the United States and Britain, and the whole country will be very difficult, and if I open up the Japanese to immigrate to the Great Chinese Federation and let them vote with their feet, we should be able to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight, right? ”

Sun Yuexun nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay if Mr. wants to do this, but the effect is definitely not as good as the conquest by force...... There will be many Japanese who believe that Japan was betrayed by national thieves and died, rather than because of China's strong force. In this case, the idea of reviving Japan one day will surely be buried in the hearts of many Japanese people. Japan will be a destabilizing factor for the Federation. ”

"Really?" Chang Ruiqing hesitated, "I'm afraid that a lot of people will die in this way, and the grudge between the two nations will be very deep, right?" ”

Sun Yuexun smiled and shook her head. "Although Xiaomei left Japan at the age of 12, she is still Japanese in her bones and knows the Japanese very well. If the conflict between the two countries caused tens of thousands of Japanese casualties, there will be many Japanese who resent China...... If the number of Japanese casualties reaches hundreds of thousands, then the number of resentful people will be greatly reduced, and the number of Japanese who fear China will be greatly increased. If that number becomes millions, Japan will be killed. If the Japanese are completely desperate, the Japanese will not only not resent China, but will also worship China fanatically. I can't wait to become a member of China! She accentuated her tone: "This is the Japanese nation, which has always worshiped the strong, despised the weak, and would rather be conquered by the strong." Nor will the forgiveness of the weak be appreciated. If you want the Japanese to consciously become Chinese. Please don't have the idea of convincing people with virtue, but should be powerful! Please fight hard, and you must completely defeat Japan! ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded: "Xiaomei, I remember your words, I will consider it seriously, you are also busy, just go back to the Ministry of Education first." Come to the mansion in the evening, and we'll talk about it in detail...... Oh. Bring Yunzi with you, and I'll ask her opinion again. ”

Sun Yuexun stood up and bowed to Chang Ruiqing again, and left with joy. She knew that Chang Ruiqing had already been half persuaded by herself, and let Miyagawa Yunzi say it again tonight, and it was estimated that she would be able to finalize the conquest of Japan...... No matter what the people in Japan think now, anyway, the Chinese and ethnic groups represented by Sun Yuexun were "convinced" by the last Sino-Japanese War and the Tokyo earthquake, and according to the thinking of the Chinese, they are all hardcore Japanese traitors!

Watching Sun Yuexun leave, Chang Ruiqing casually picked up a report from the desk and flipped through it, but he was still pondering Sun Yuexun's words in his heart. He knows the habitual thinking of the Japanese to obey the strong, and it is enough for Japan to be cleaned up by the United States in another time and space. The mighty Pacific Fleet was completely destroyed, the mainland was bombed into ruins, and finally two weapons of mass destruction were struck. However, it seems that Japan in later generations is indeed the most hardcore ally of the United States! In contrast, Germany and France are not very convinced, and the whole argument that the EU wants to compete with the United States. I don't think the United States had the idea of annexing Japan back then, otherwise the Japanese would probably really be happy to be Yankees, right?

However, a certain party in later generations gave up its claims against Japan and complained at every turn with virtue -- In the rising territory of China in later generations, the status of the Japanese was definitely much higher than that of ordinary Chinese residents, but how did the Japanese repay the goodwill of the Chinese leaders? It seems that it is better to respect myself, the Changda invader who seized Taiwan and the Far East and "cursed" the Tokyo earthquake with a crow's beak, right? It seems that little Japan really has a bit of a cheap bone, so I have to clean it up hard!

……

30 October 1935, Delhi.

Just when Chang Ruiqing was thinking about how to use overwhelming force to ravage Japan, the Japanese soldiers under Prime Minister Chang Da, who was later respected as the father of the reunification of Greater East Asia, well, should have just ravaged Delhi, the capital of India!

The first to enter Delhi was the notorious 10th Infantry Corps of the Chinese Army, and they fought from Sialkot in East Punjab to Delhi either as a pioneer or as the main attacker, and the merit and hard work were great, and the casualties were also the largest among the four armies of Xue Yue's cluster. Therefore, Xue Yue knew that this army was very "wild", and he still gave them the fat difference to capture Delhi! As for how many Indian flower girls have suffered after the defeat of Delhi, Xue Yue can't control it, as long as he doesn't go too far. By the way, the punishment given to Zheng Dongguo and the 30th Division a while ago has been revoked by the Ministry of Defense. The Ministry of Defence meant that the Amritsar massacre did not exist and therefore no one could be punished for it......

Xue Yue is also a delicate and clear person, the meaning of the above is not obvious, India is cheap, their own great leaders don't care, what do we care about? Just if you don't see it, you can get it.

Therefore, two days before the 10th Army entered Delhi, Xue Yue's headquarters, the few reporters accompanying the army, and the follow-up troops did not immediately enter the city. It was not until the third day of the capture of Delhi that he marched into Delhi with great force. At this time, all parts of Delhi have been hastily cleaned up, and no one knows what happened in Delhi in the past two days? It's just that the buildings that have been burned down by the fire are often visible around the city, and the fear and hatred of the Indians who were forced to carry the blue sky and white red flag of the Great China Federation on both sides of the street to welcome the Chinese occupation. But it can't be hidden.

The officers and men of the 10th Corps patrolled the city with long rifles with bright bayonets, maintaining order in the streets where the army passed through them, and everyone was extremely tired. I was also very excited. The capital of a big country was actually beaten down by them, and it was sacked for two days! Although 90% of the city's wealth has been taken away by the Indian GCD, the officers and soldiers of the 10th Army of the Chinese Army still have a lot to gain, at least every one of them has a smile on their faces.

The Palace of the Republic, once the center of power of the GCD in India, has remained relatively intact, and it is said that before the evacuation, Lu Yi instructed to completely destroy the luxurious residence left by the British. However, the cadres of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Indo-G only cared about fleeing for their lives, and hurriedly set fire to deal with their errands. And their craft of setting fires is not professional. It didn't take long for it to extinguish on its own. While the 10th officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army wearing khaki military uniforms or camouflage training uniforms were relaxing in Delhi, the Sikh red-headed Asanmen who had followed all the way from East Punjab had already taken up the promising profession of "Indian traitor" very easily. After obtaining the consent of the commander of the 10th Army, Guan Linzheng. They set up a "Provisional Municipal Council" on their own, which was located at the Palace of the Republic, under which there were several departments such as police, taxation, health care, and public affairs. In the shortest possible time, the big and small affairs of Delhi City were managed. It was also arranged for people to clean the Palace of the Republic. Hang up the signboard of the Chinese Governor's Palace, just wait for Xue Yue to enter!

Guan Linzheng took his military chief officer to greet him in front of the gate of the Republic Palace, his chest was very high, and he was waiting for Xue Yue's convoy to arrive, and the group of Sikh traitors also knew that Xue Yue was coming, of course they didn't dare to slack off, and a group of bearded men with red cloth were all respectfully guarding the door. The leader is a middle-aged man named Singh (the word means lion, so many Indian Asanmen like to use this word as a name). Standard Sikh appearance, with a head and beard. With a tall and burly figure even by European standards, it looks very powerful, which really doesn't match the Indian traitor he is doing now.

The motor roared, and a team of military off-road vehicles galloped from far and near. At the beginning, there was a conspicuous four-star general flag on the front of the car, which was the general flag of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and after the news of the conquest of Delhi was transmitted back to Nanjing, Chang Ruiqing immediately signed an order to promote Liu Mingzhao and Xue Yue to army generals. Considering that this world war has not yet come to an end, the two newly promoted generals still have a considerable chance to be in command before the end of the war, so General Xue's face is full of unconcealable pride.

"Commander Xue has arrived!"

As soon as the car stopped, a loud soldier in charge of the roll call roared, and dozens of officers of the 30th Army who were waiting at the gate of the Palace of the Republic saluted solemnly.

Those Sikh traitors also bowed deeply, all of them looked like loyal slaves with eyes and noses, noses and mouths, no wonder the British Empire used Sikhs as soldiers and civil servants when it ruled India.

Xue Yue got out of the car, first saluted the officers of the 30th Army, and then glanced at these red-headed Ah San, who looked majestic and respectful. Turning his head, he asked Guan Linzheng: "Yudong, what are these Sikhs doing?" ”

"These," Guan Linzheng pointed at those Ah San, and grinned: "It's all for us...... Nuo is a big city of Delhi, there are a lot of things, big and small, there must be someone to take care of them, how can the subordinates understand this, so we picked out some of the Sikh soldiers who followed us to serve as civil servants for the British, and formed a temporary municipal committee to temporarily manage the city of Delhi. Commander, if you don't think it's appropriate, I'll let them get out of the way right away. ”

Xue Yue hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can't let them get out, if they get out, Delhi will want me, the supreme commander of the occupation army, to manage it, where can I manage it." As he spoke, he walked up to the red-headed Ah San who was taking the lead, patted the other party on the shoulder, and said in not very fluent English: "You are the new mayor of Delhi?" ”

"Humble Singh, temporarily in charge of the Delhi Interim Municipal Council." This red-headed Ah San seems to have been well-educated during the British rule, and he speaks English squarely, which is much stronger than Xue Yue's pidgin. It seems that the suppression of the Indian G is indeed not in place, and the target of 15% (for the Sikhs) is still too little.

Xue Yue smiled: "Delhi is only temporarily occupied by us now. However, unlike the British, we will not turn India into a colony, but our influence cannot be ignored. You manage Delhi well, as long as you get things done, I will guarantee you a full term as the mayor of Delhi! ”

Mayor of Delhi! Singh's body shook, and his face suddenly blossomed with joy. Although the Sikhs were trusted by the British masters, they could only be middle- and lower-level officials, and the mayors were high-ranking officials in the early days. Later, self-government was introduced and the Indians were allowed to elect themselves, but the Sikh population was small and did not deal with the Hindus and the Muslims. How to choose the listing director? If he can become the mayor of Delhi for a single term, he will be a precedent, and his status among the Sikhs will naturally rise, and he may be able to form a political party to elect the state ruler of Punjab in the future......

In an instant, Singh, who was later characterized by the Indian GCD as a traitor, was about to burst into tears. Hurriedly choked up and said: "Contemptible and the colleagues of the Provisional Municipal Committee will definitely serve China wholeheartedly......"

Xue Yue nodded with satisfaction. And he said, "Yes." That's it, now that Delhi has just settled down, there are so many things to do, so I won't bother you as the mayor here, so let's get to work. If there's anything you need my help with, just come to me. ”

After saying that, he was about to walk inside, but the mayor of Singh suddenly opened his mouth and made a request: "Your Excellency, you have a humble position, and there is a reluctant request......

Xue Yue frowned. Seeing this Singh traitor's embarrassed expression, he nodded and said, "Say it." What can I help with. ”

"The Delhi Provisional Municipal Council would like to borrow some ...... from your military merchant Some of the gold and silver were used to buy food to sustain the supply of the city of Delhi. ”

Borrow...... Gold for food!? Who is the aggressor? Who is suffering from the imperialist invasion? Xue Yue stared at Singh seriously, as if he was looking at some kind of monster. Guan Linzheng, who was next to him, hurriedly stepped forward and explained with a wry smile: "The Indian GCD has left a super big mess for us, all the grain depots in Delhi are empty, all the banks don't have a penny in reserve, and all the shops don't have any goods. When they left, they took everything they could and burned everything they couldn't, leaving us with only nearly 2 million Indians...... Fortunately, it is the autumn harvest right now, and the grain from Eastern Punjab and Haryana is being harvested, and it is not difficult to buy a little to save the emergency. However, there is no unified government in our occupied areas, and many places are in a state of anarchy, so there is no way to issue currency and collect grain taxes, so we can only use precious metals to ask the peasants to buy them. That Singh had already told me about it, and he had promised to return the borrowed gold and silver to us within a month. Commander, look ......"

Of course, in addition to buying with gold and silver, the Wehrmacht can also grab food in columns! But who bears the responsibility? Is it worth it to take on such a relationship for the sake of 2 million Indian Asan? In addition, starving all 2 million citizens of Delhi to death is also a one-size-fits-all solution!

"Your Excellency, Commander," the Indian traitor Singh interjected again at this time, just now Guan Linzheng and Xue Yue spoke in Chinese, he couldn't understand it at all, but he could guess the general meaning. He smiled and said to Xue Yue: "There is no risk in the gold and silver lent by your army, because Delhi itself is a chicken that can lay golden eggs, it is the third largest commercial city and the second largest handicraft city in India, as well as a developed light industry, before the arrival of GCD, Delhi's annual commercial tax revenue was as high as tens of millions of rupees...... And now that all the factories, shops and high-end properties in Delhi have been taken over by our Provisional Municipal Council, we can sell some of our possessions and get the whole city up and running again, and then there will be a steady stream of wealth coming in. Moreover, the Indians have always had the habit of collecting gold, although they were forcibly redeemed by GCD, but there are still a large amount of gold and silver among the people, and the grain we purchased from the countryside can soon be sold at a higher price, and there is no problem in recovering the cost, and there must be profits to be made, and we will also hand over these profits to your army. ”

At this time, Xue Yue was finally relieved, he nodded and instructed Chen Changjie, the chief of staff beside him: "Go and call Chief Liu of the Front Army, report the shortage of grain in Delhi and the need for gold and silver to buy food, and ask Chief Liu to decide." ”

Although the loan of tens of thousands of taels of gold is not a big deal, it is not something that Liu Mingzhao, the commander of the front army, can approve. The matter was finally reported to Defense Minister Chang Ruiqing, but he, the prime minister, had no way to make the decision on this matter. Because now that the civil administration of Delhi has been established, it is only natural that the Defence Force no longer administers the civil administration of Delhi. Therefore, the act of lending money to the Delhi Municipality has nothing to do with military operations, and of course cannot be spent on military spending, but can only be counted as foreign economic aid or loans. This is not something that can be approved by the prime minister with a stroke of the pen, it must be voted on by both houses of the Bundesrat, and by the time they vote, more than half of the citizens of Delhi are estimated to have starved to death. Therefore, Chang Ruiqing finally found Zhang Gongquan, the general manager of the Bank of China, and asked the Bank of China to borrow a sum of money to buy food for emergency relief to the Indian traitor municipal authorities in Delhi.
