Chapter 177: Zhukov was ordered to be in danger

"The sky in Southeast Asia has changed, and the white people who used to be arrogant in this region are now panicking like lost dogs!" There is such a passage in the Japanese newspaper, although Cheng Dù, who is disgusted with Japan, is no less disgusted with Britain than with Britain, Fang someone still agrees with this statement in his heart. Britain, the representative of the developed countries of the West, has committed crimes in various colonies around the world over the past 200 years or so, and from this basis they are not at all worthy of sympathy.

It's a world of individual cannibalism! If the Chinese want to be not at the bottom of the food chain, they must build the country rich and strong! The history of parallel time and space is a good proof of this. Even in China, 30 years after reform and opening up, don't European and American countries still have a so-called "Batumi" agreement? People just want to restrict you, they want to curb you!

In just 20 days, Japan swept through Southeast Asia! If it weren't for the Chinese evacuation, the Japanese army would have landed at the port of Surabaya. At present, the only thing that can be unimpeded in the entire South Pacific is the Chinese ships flying the five-color flag, and even the American ships in this sea area will be inspected and troubled by the Japanese Navy.

It was unrealistic to expect China to enter the war, so Johnson had come to ask China to allow some British and Dutch ships stranded in China to fly the five-color flag and ensure that they could safely pass through the waters and return to safety.

"How many tonnages are these ships?" Fang Jianxiong did not rush to agree, but asked rhetorically. Johnson didn't know what he meant, but he still thought about it very carefully and said: "The specific number is unknown, but how can it be about 2 million tons." ”

"So be it. Let these ships be used as part of the British payment for the purchase of munitions in China. The specific amount will be discussed after the statistics. Personnel on board can be employees of the Chinese side. Fang Jianxiong said. Johnson was very surprised, what does China want so many ships for? He has been in China for many years and knows that China's own shipping capacity has developed rapidly over the years, thanks to the development of Sino-US trade and China-EU trade, China's shipping capacity has exceeded 10 million tons. With such a strong shipping capacity, what do you need these freighters for?

"After Japan went south, I was worried that the South Pacific route might be blocked. So. It is necessary to transport more strategic materials back before this situation arises. Fang Jianxiong added an explanation with a smile, and Zhuang Sen's heart seemed to be hit hard by a huge force. Trembling all over, he asked nervously in a low voice, "How long will this time be?" ”

Fang Jianxiong thought for a while and said, "If it's fast, it's a year, and if it's slow, it's a year and a half." As a member of the free world, China cannot sit idly by and watch Japan run rampant in the South Seas for long. Mr. Minister. The words came out of the room. I'm never going to admit it. You should know that it is very difficult for Congress to fight on two fronts, and China's financial resources are not enough to support both fronts unless it can receive adequate assistance. ”

After drawing a piece of cake a year later, Johnson turned around excitedly to leave, and when he walked to the door, he remembered that he still had something to say, and quickly turned around and said, "President, there is one more thing." The British Governor in Singapore and some British officials were the treasures of the British Empire. China hopes to take them out, and now only China has the ability to do so. ”

Speaking of this matter, Fang Jianxiong hesitated a little, but decided to help the UK. After all, China and Britain are handing over the interests of Myanmar, and it is necessary to help them at this time. "Surface ships are not suitable for Singapore, and if they don't mind flying in a submarine, I can ask the Navy to send a submarine force to secretly infiltrate Singapore Harbor."

Johnson did not have the slightest doubt about this, China has always attached importance to the development of submarines, and it is not surprising that submarines have the ability to sail long distances. After saying this, Johnson took out another copy of the text that he had hidden close to him, quietly put it on the table, and then made a confession again. Fang Jianxiong also sent a person to lead Johnson to the navy to negotiate the specific contact methods.

After a period of exploration, Fang Jianxiong received a report that made people very helpless. It was very unrealistic for China and Myanmar to build a railway before, and the highway could be widened, but the amount of work was very large, and the normal construction period was not less than three years. The Yunnan-Burma Highway in parallel history is a dangerous road that winds between the lofty mountains and mountains, and this time and space cannot avoid this reality. The most ideal mode of transportation is by sea. Once the war between China and Japan starts, the sea will definitely be cut off, so it is necessary to rush the time to transport more oil back. With the current demand of the squadron, a world war will be fought, and it will be impossible to sustain without a few hundred million tons of oil. At present, China's strategic reserves of crude oil are only 30 million tons, and although Daqing produces 30 million tons of oil every year, it is not enough to meet the needs of the domestic market. As a result of the acceleration of industrialization, the demand for oil has multiplied exponentially. Mercedes-Benz alone has no less than three million tricycles in China's Everbright countryside. In the past ten years, China's automobile industry has grown rapidly, with an annual output of 200,000 cars of various types, not to mention tens of thousands of cars imported from Europe and the United States every year to meet the increasing demand of local tyrants since the Republic of China. Many people shouted in support of domestic products, and on the other hand, they were imported cars, and there were also large fuel guzzlers in the shipping and navy.

As for those British and Dutch ships, Fang Jianxiong was not worried at all that he would not be able to get his hands on them. How could such a smart man as Churchill pull China to the death? Burma has given up, what are some boats? Besides, without China's help, it is a question of whether these ships can leave China.

Picking up the text left by Johnson on the table, Fang Jianxiong looked at it very carefully, the Anglo-American Joint Statement, is this the Atlantic Treaty? It was probably from this incident that the foundation for the formation of the world pattern after World War II was laid. If this time and space did not catch up with Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, there would be no so-called aid to the Soviet Union, let alone the formation of the Cold War pattern after World War II, and the Soviet Union seemed to have no chance to dominate the Eastern world. Objectively speaking, in World War II in parallel time and space, without a large amount of assistance from the United States, the Soviet Union really might not have been able to withstand Germany's attack. After all, at the beginning of the war, the losses of the Soviet army were too great. Without U.S. assistance, even if there were people with equipment, they would not have been able to replenish it so quickly. In this time and space, what if the United States assists China in fighting the Soviet Union? What will be the result? In the future world pattern, the world that is in line with China's interests should be diversified, right? The United States wants to be dominant, but Fang Jianxiong absolutely cannot agree. The juxtaposition of China and the United States seems to be a bit tiring for China, which is okay in the short term, but it will definitely not be exhausted in the long term. Therefore, doing a good job is to have a strong force to exist, and the three-legged support is the best pattern in line with China's interests.

Mustache, you must fight for it! It is better to fight with the US imperialists for ten or eight years, and still maintain a draw.

Bearded, what are you thinking about right now?

The bearded man was in a meeting, and Joseph, who had always been right, naturally would not admit his mistakes at the meeting. This person was quite skilled in carrying the black cauldron for Comrade Joseph, so he stood up at the first moment of the meeting and said that because he had made the mistake of left-leaning opportunism because he had not sufficiently estimated the military strength of Chinese imperialism and had made the mistake of leftist opportunism, the Soviet army was in a disadvantageous position in the early stage of the Sino-Soviet war. Comrade Vloshilov is willing to take responsibility for this problem and asks him to be punished organizationally.

Ordinary people make mistakes, and they will definitely not live long, such as Pavlov, who has already been brought from the office with a Fei Junker aunt, and can appear in front of Stalin after the meeting. The result of waiting for Pavlov was doomed, there was nothing to negotiate about this, and no one interceded for him.

The meeting was very successful, and with the enthusiastic help of the comrades, Comrade Voroshilov, who had a good attitude, received the comrades' understanding and unanimously agreed to give the good comrades a chance to make amends. The second person to come forward was a certain person in charge of the intelligence department, whose inadequate intelligence work had a negative impact on the General Staff's formulation of operational plans. The meeting ended in a good and enthusiastic atmosphere, and Zhukov, who had been sent to the reserve to sit on the cold bench for more than a month, had already waited in Stalin's office for an hour.

A rare smile appeared on Stalin's stiff face at the sight of Zhukov, but soon this smile disappeared because of the news that some unlucky man had been escorted to Moscow. In Stalin's office, Zhukov stood very straight, not at all complacent. This is also a smart person, although he has not seen the Three Kingdoms, but let him be in the position of Tian Feng, he must know how he died.

"Do you have any thoughts on the situation in Central Asia? Comrade Zhukov? ”

"Comrade Stalin, the only option now is to trade space for time and drag the war on until winter." Zhukov is not a god either, and has no power to return to heaven. Stalin took a hard puff of his pipe, and said in his usual slow tone: "Pavlov has returned to Moscow, wait until you go and meet him and find out how he won the battle." There is a plane ready tonight, you go to Central Asia and take over the post of commander of the front. What you need, you just ask, in short, be sure to stabilize the situation. ”

"I understand, Comrade Stalin. Before leaving, I would like to remind the comrades in the armament department that the problems exposed by our army's anti-tank forces in past battles must be resolved in a timely manner. The soldiers could not be allowed to use anti-tank guns and tanks that could not destroy the enemy against the new tanks of the Chinese imperialists. There are also fighters, and if possible, we must do our best to develop new fighters. Zhukov's words were still very pertinent, speaking completely from the point of view of the needs of war, which made Stalin feel very comfortable, and this kid did not drag him up because he was right.
