Chapter 886: Plotting for Thousands of Miles

"President, this is your itinerary for today." Inside the famous Doha fortress, Gu Yuwen stood beside him dressed neatly and handed the schedule in his briefcase to Yang Qiu for review.

Across the table were Miao Luo, who came from the United States to meet here, and his eldest daughter Yang Sisi. Due to matters such as foreign affairs and attending Harvard's graduation ceremony, the mother and daughter stayed in the United States for several months. Although the delay was quite long, Miao Luo's trip played a great role. After the Katyn incident was exposed, and the resumption of war in Central Asia, Italy's entry into the war, and France's rapid defeat were entangled together, Roosevelt had already begun to consider entering the war in advance. Because after losing the Soviet Union's containment, once France surrendered, the pressure would be concentrated on Britain. If Britain also surrenders, then the United States will have to withdraw from Europe. Even if the German Navy could not defeat the British Navy, Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Mediterranean would henceforth be left with no skin. The most terrible thing is that Hitler, who does not have an Eastern Front, will definitely make a move against Spain, once he controls Spain and Gibraltar, the Mediterranean Sea will be cut off from Britain and the United States, and no matter how powerful Cunningham is, he must withdraw to the Atlantic, and then Britain will be completely defeated! When the time comes, even if he wants to make a move, he can't find any place to stay.

Therefore, Miao Luo brought back the news that the media in Britain and the United States have begun to shift the direction of the wind, and China's position has suddenly become extremely important. Churchill and Roosevelt even publicly praised Yang Qiu and the Chinese government for their contributions to the anti-fascist battlefield. Before returning, Roosevelt also sent Miao Luo off and brought $10 million worth of medicines supported by the US government. Although there are not many things, it shows that Roosevelt was already considering intervening, and China has become an important force against the Axis powers.

"Is Mossadegh still there?" It has been half a month since he came to the Middle East, but Yang Qiu has been lingering in Riyadh, Doha, Abu Dhabi and other places, reviewing troops with Pahlavi in Ahvaz, accompanying Ibn Saud to visit Saudi oil and urban construction, and even secretly visiting the ancient Persian palace in Isfahan, but he has not seen Mossadegh for a long time. Jiang Baili, who was reading the newspaper next to him, raised his head, and the corners of his eyebrows were full of smiles: "Here you are." It's all burning eyebrows. If you don't see him again, I'll be able to jump into the Persian Gulf. ”

"Flutter." Yang Sisi, who was eating, couldn't help but smile, and rolled his eyes at Yang Qiu: "Dad, why are you playing tricks?" I think he's quite sincere. You see, knowing that you are coming, he has been honestly waiting for more than twenty days. ”

Yang Qiu put down the file and looked at her daughter. In the blink of an eye, he was also a man of children, the eldest of whom fought in Central Asia and the 1st Panzer Division against Karakalpakstan. The second son has taken the warship to Djibouti in advance to fight the outpost for the 22nd Fleet to be stationed again, and now the eldest daughter is also 24 years old, beautiful and slim, and has also obtained a double degree in electrical engineering from Peking University and Harvard University. Miao Luo smiled slightly, and added two slices of bread to his daughter's plate: "What do you know, your father deliberately coldly served him." Religion here is complicated. If they are not willing, it will be very troublesome in the future. ”

"It's not annoying to count it every day." Yang Sisi frowned and bit the bread fiercely.

"Your eldest brother and second brother are out with troops, so you should also help the family. I've already taken care of it, and your Sanniang will hand over some things to you when I go back. ”

"Oh, got it."

After handling the family affairs in a few words, Yang Qiu put down his chopsticks and began to sort out the briefcase, and only after he was ready did he twist to Gu Yuwen: "It's almost." You go to Abu Dhabi first. Invite him to the fraternity party at the airbase tomorrow night. Tell him I'll be there. After finishing speaking, he beckoned Jiang Baili to prepare to go out. But as soon as they got up, Gu Weijun and Bai Chongxi had already walked towards them.

"Don't salute, isn't the typhoon plan started?" After Yang Qiu stopped Bai Chongxi from saluting, seeing Gu Weijun's eyebrows with joy, he guessed that the plan should have begun. He guessed correctly, Gu Weijun immediately stepped forward and said: "Yesterday afternoon, Beijing time, the Second Fleet sank the Japanese heavy cruiser Aoba and the light cruiser Nagara in the Battle of Golden Oujiao. also wiped out the main force of the Siamese Navy in one fell swoop! The 17th Army had also crossed the Zhennan Pass and headed for Hanoi. At the latest. At this point, he looked at his watch: "In four hours." The Navy will also land at the same time from several positions. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Baili folded the newspaper in his hand and raised his head: "Didn't Inoue Chengmei do it?" ”

"No, he was blocked by the 22 fleet on Spratly Island. Seeing that we were prepared, they immediately retreated to Bandar Seri Begawan. However, the Natuna listening post had already heard a telegram from him to Yamamoto Isoroku, which stated that he wanted Yamamoto to return as soon as possible. Yamamoto did not say that he would go back, but he had already ordered two Kongo-class battleships and two aircraft carriers in Rabaul to return to the Ryukyus, and it seemed that he was also afraid of our sneak attack. After Bai Chongxi finished speaking, he was still speechless: "It's a pity that I missed a good opportunity to eat the Third Fleet." ”

"What's in the Third Fleet? It's just a few broken ships, it doesn't matter if you eat it or not. Gu Weijun didn't care about the life or death of the Third Fleet, but was concerned about the matter of Yamamoto Fifty-six's main force: "Judging from the telegram, Yamamoto Fifty-six doesn't seem to have found Somerville's main fleet yet. ”

"Naval warfare is different from land warfare, and on land it is possible to use the tactics of a sea of people to search all the corners, and on the sea you have to rely on airplanes and warships. Japan lacks roots in the Indian Ocean, and if Somerville really wants to hide, Yamamoto Isoroku can't even use his strength to eat! However, I guess he won't be able to hide for long, France is already negotiating with Germany, as long as France surrenders and the United States does not intervene in time, Nehru will definitely get into trouble. If we can't inflict heavy damage on the Japanese Navy as soon as possible, the situation in India will not be good! ”

"He had to fight, so Yamamoto Fifty-six saw this and waited in Ceylon." Bai Chongxi interjected.

Yang Qiu stood in the living room and muttered for a moment, as if he was not interested in any of these from his expression. Seeing this, Gu Weijun said again: "President, there is one more thing. The British Ministry of Intelligence should know that you are here, so when Xu Gesen met with the Prime Minister yesterday, he conveyed Churchill's message. He hopes to see you in Cairo as soon as possible. Roosevelt's personal adviser Hopkins and French Defense Minister Charles de Gaulle were also willing to attend the meeting. ”

Yang Qiu said coldly: "Oh? Are you finally willing to meet? ”

Gu Weijun smiled slightly: "When Dunkirk retreated, the British lost all their equipment, and now they can't even get a few rifles in China. On the American side, although Roosevelt loosened isolationism through the Katyn tragedy, he still needs a big excuse to really get involved, otherwise he will not be able to convince Congress. Moreover, his demands were similar to ours, that the British government promise to completely open its markets after the war, to give up its colonies, and to cede Atlantic interests! Churchill had a fire in his belly. I can only turn around and see you. ”

"It's time to meet." Yang Qiu looked at Jiang Baili: "Baili, how much assistance do you think should be provided?" ”

Jiang Baili thought for a while and said: "The German navy suffered heavy losses in Norway and lost half of its destroyers and several capital ships, so Britain should have no worries on the sea for the time being. Whether or not Somerville can win or not on India's side will have little impact on the situation in Europe. So Churchill's biggest concern now is probably Spain! Hitler had previously said that he would not invade Spain, but now that the Soviet Union is entangled with us, it is difficult to say, at least Raeder has proposed a plan for the Greater Mediterranean. The Army also had plans to land in Britain accordingly, and intelligence said that Hitler himself was interested in both plans. So I suggest, sell some army weapons right away! We now have about 1,000 captured T34 tanks, 2,300 BT series tanks, and 50,000 or 60,000 Soviet-made artillery pieces. Sell another batch of old rifles, machine guns and grenadiers from the warehouse, which should be enough for Churchill to arm 20 divisions. ”

"Then do as you say." Yang Qiu beckoned to the guards outside: "Go and prepare a plane and send Mr. Baili to London immediately." "Finished. He took Jiang Baili's hand and said, "Remember, light weapons and artillery can be delivered immediately, and I don't think Churchill has the heart to bargain with you now." But if you want to be more serious about tanks, let's just say that we need time to repair them, and they can only be delivered in batches. The first batch is up to 200 BT and 100 T34/76, and the rest can be delivered in several batches. Finally you're telling him I'll be going to Cairo in a week. Jiang Baili nodded, he understood what Yang Qiu meant. BT tanks are not important, even the T26 can be sold in large quantities. But not with the T34 tank! Although this tank was a complete defeat in Central Asia, it was a very powerful tank for Europe at this time, and if it was given too much at once, it did not meet the principle of attrition.

After Jiang Baili went upstairs to get ready to pack, Gu Weijun asked again: "President, what about the French East Indies?" Japan has suffered such a big loss, and it will definitely seek revenge. And the governor of Jean-De has so far been lukewarm to us, and the French government has been gritting its teeth for a long time. ”

"France's attitude doesn't matter anymore. As long as Britain and the United States support our access to the French East Indies. Yang Qiu took a few steps. At this time, Yang Sisi walked in with tea, so after taking the teacup, he continued to instruct: "Jiansheng." You immediately send someone back to see the Prime Minister and the Chief of the General Staff. Tell me that we do not want to go to war with Japan, but only fulfill the South China Sea agreement and protect the interests of the French expatriates and our country, and we will not interfere in other matters! ”

Gu Weijun understood a little, and asked, "President, what do you mean by independence?!" ”

Yang Qiu put down the teacup and raised his fingers to accentuate his tone: "We must clearly tell Xiao Jinyun and Dai Yunong that we only protect the interests of the French expatriates in the region and our country, and cannot let Japan interfere, as for other things, they can let them do other things." I don't care how many political parties there are, no matter how many armed factions there are, just let them remember that it's okay to be independent! It's okay to hit Japan! I also turned a blind eye to the French colonial army! But whoever moves my armies, I will raze them! There are no two words! Tell Yan Baohang again to put Ho Chi Minh back, he still has energy in the local area. Finally, you are taking care of Yue Peng, Lang Son is the commanding height of Vietnam, and the south of Lang Son is flat and open, so north of the Red River to Haiphong, it must be in our hands! As for whether the Chinese will establish a state, or whether they will be annexed to Guangxi by referendum in the future, they will not be left to the future Vietnamese government! ”

"It just so happened that the chief of staff asked us to send someone back for a meeting, and I immediately asked Zhu Jiande to personally bring a message back." Bai Chongxi is a native of Guangxi and knows better the importance of the north of the Red River, so he immediately resigned and went back to make arrangements.

Just as he was about to leave, Yang Qiu called out to him again and said with a smile: "Wait." Go to Zhang Zhidan and ask the Military Intelligence Agency to find a way to help Nehru, our Indian friends are very short of weapons and ammunition. ”
