Chapter 179

The cars curved along the long mountain road, and the convoy of five-ton trucks looked like a dragon more than ten kilometers long when viewed from above. Jiang Wushan, commander of the 15th Mechanized Army, gave up the journey by plane, and instead used wheeled armored command vehicles to advance with the brigade. Jiang Wushan, who was born in the first batch of top students of Wuhu Army University, has always been a type of bad luck in the National Defense Army. During the Qingdao Campaign, he was not sent to the army because of illness, and stayed in the General Staff as his staff officer, and he did not earn any military achievements. Before the outbreak of World War I, Jiang Wushan was selected to go to West Point in the United States for further study, but he did not catch the war.

During World War I, Jiang Wushan took the initiative to ask to go to France with the U.S. Army to participate in the war, and many applications were finally approved, and he also became a tank company commander of the U.S. Army, and after not wanting to be transported to Europe, the war ended and Germany surrendered.

After returning to China, Jiang Wushan has been teaching at Baoding Land University, until the National Defense Army formed a large-scale mechanized army, Jiang Wushan had the opportunity to take charge of the army, and as soon as he came up, he was strongly recommended by Jiang Fangzhen and Xu Shuzheng, and served as the commander of the newly formed 15th Mechanized Army, which is a standard configuration, with three mechanized divisions, a logistics support brigade, a boat bridge brigade, an engineer regiment, and military units. The formation of the army is in Kunming, which shows that someone Fang has been coveting Myanmar for a long time. There is no way, China lacks oil and copper mines, both of which are available in Myanmar, and the key point is that it is close to China.

Chiang Wushan's mission was to take over the defense of Burma, and this had been agreed with the British army, and the British side repeatedly urged China to take over the defense because the army was moving south. It's a funny thing to say, but within the Wehrmacht system, it's extremely proud of it? The dream of a strong country is in the bones of every soldier. The British Empire, which was once invincible in the world, was bitten hard by a white-eyed wolf raised by his own hands, and hurriedly asked for help from China.

The convoy stopped suddenly, and the 86th Tank Regiment at the head radioed to inform them that there was a British outpost in front of them, and the British troops stationed in the garrison were holding a welcoming ceremony, asking the army commander for instructions on how to respond. Jiang Wushan's command car moved forward quickly, and came to the end of the edge of the mountains, and at the end of the road that suddenly opened up in front of him, a British [***] band was playing.

Jiang Wushan, who was carrying the rank of lieutenant general, got out of the car and straightened his clothes first, and then walked forward. A British colonel strode forward, saluted, and then said loudly: "Royal British Army Colonel Judson, salute Your Excellency." I have been ordered to meet you here, and to hand over the defense to your army, and this is the first stop, and allow me to lead you the way for the rest of the journey. ”

"Great work! Colonel, I'm glad to have your help! Jiang Wushan is still very polite, there is no need to make extraneous branches. The army is not a navy, there are not many officers who have studied in the UK, and there is no good opinion of the British Empire. In contrast, the navy is different, almost thirty percent of the officers studying in Britain are in the United Kingdom, and their positions are not low, and there are many people who have a good impression of Britain.

After entering Burma, the first city taken over by the 15th Mechanized Corps was Lashio, where the British stationed a battalion of troops, and the British troops at the bottom were unexpectedly warmly welcomed by the arrival of the Chinese. Jiang Wushan was puzzled by this, and when he chatted with Judson at the banquet in the evening, he learned that the Chinese Air Force had conquered the whole of Britain by its excellent performance in the air battle of Great Britain. In addition, the army went south, and the British were short of troops, and they were eager to draw reinforcements from Burma. Moreover, before China sent troops, Britain had already transferred a tank brigade, and the remaining garrison was only two British brigades and one Anglo-Indian division. In the whole of northern Burma, the garrison was only one British brigade, and the other brigade was stationed in Yangon.

After the 15th Mechanized Army entered Burma, the newly formed 100th Infantry Corps also landed from Yangon. It seems that in the darkness of providence, the name of the 100th infantry commander is Du Yuming, and he has three B divisions under his jurisdiction. The reason why so many troops are deployed in Burma is mainly based on the decision made by the strength of the army in Thailand, which at this stage is only one division in Thailand, and the rest of the troops are storming Singapore. A mechanized army can block at least five divisions of the Japanese army, and can win in battle, and the current Wehrmacht is so arrogant. The main task of the 100th Army was to maintain local law and order and ensure the establishment of the Burmese Autonomous Axe. The matter of fighting the war was left to the 15th Mechanized Army.

After the Chinese troops stationed in Burma entered Burma, they completed the change of guard in just half a month, and this happened very suddenly, which was tantamount to a blow to the Chinese army that was raging in the South Seas. In particular, the army was particularly hard hit, and was still immersed in the sweet dream of entering Burma from Thailand after Thailand's surrender, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received a note from the Chinese Foreign Ministry. "According to the "New Treaty of Nanjing" signed by China and Britain, China will fully take over British interests in Burma, and ask the military not to enter Burma during military operations in Nanyang, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes and even military conflicts."

Why is it called the "Nanjing New Testament", because this treaty was signed in Nanjing, why was this treaty signed in Nanjing? The Chinese of this era will not forget that there was a "Treaty of Nanjing" before, knocking on the door of the Qing Dynasty. It was from that time on, imperialism was able to bring the cowardly Qing axe to its knees by setting up cannons on the Chinese coastline.

Despite the humiliation of making wedding clothes for others, he made a humiliating decision to recognize the Sino-British New Testament. Why? It's very simple, he made a fortune in Nanyang, and now he is busy digesting it. The other is Java, where China's evacuation operation is still continuing, but it is almost there, and it will be completed in a month at most. Unable to wait, he decided to attack Java and seize the oil fields in Java. If it falls out with China at this time, then the freighter that is constantly carrying gold, silver, and other valuable materials from the South China Sea on the vast sea is likely to become the hunting target of Chinese submarines. As for the Chinese Navy, at present, more than half of the strength of the Combined Fleet is monitoring the movements of the Chinese Navy. To be honest, I am afraid that the Chinese Navy will suddenly kill it now! No matter how arrogant the navy is, after experiencing the Battle of the South Seas and seeing the power of aircraft carriers, the navy has a new understanding of the strength of the Chinese navy, which has five 38,000-ton aircraft carriers and three 22,000-ton aircraft carriers. In the past, I thought that the Chinese Navy was nothing more than that, but now I really think that the tonnage of other aircraft carriers is much higher than that of battleships, and Yamamoto Isoroku's scalp is numb, and he has repeatedly proposed to build new large-tonnage aircraft carriers. If it was just an aircraft carrier, even the Germans took a fancy to the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese and introduced technology. In the face of China's Swift carrier-based aircraft, does the latest Zero War really have an advantage? The Navy's spy network has even tried to get a Swift back many times to see how it goes. In this matter, because of the rapid approach of relations between Germany and Germany, there was no need to take risks, and Germany promised to provide a batch of new fighters to the capital as a kind of return for the southward movement.

Of course, Germany has also repeatedly reminded Yuben not to attack China's idea, and the main goal of the alliance between the three countries is [***]. And now that China is on the front line, it must not make trouble, otherwise its allies will not have to do it.

The mustache wished that China was dragging the Soviet Union to death, and he was so bent on cleaning up Britain.

He said that he could only pinch his nose and once again make a statement of goodwill. He openly stated that he respects China's interests in Myanmar and asks China to respect China's interests in Nanyang. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded that China would remain neutral during the war in the South Seas, unless China's interests were threatened.

All in all, the world pattern of this time and space is only worse for Britain, not the worst. Churchill is looking forward to China and the United States joining this world war, so as to share a little pressure on Britain, right? But in this situation, it seems that neither China nor the United States has a reason to throw themselves on the side of Britain. The good news from the Chinese side did excite Churchill a little, but soon reality calmed him down, and the intelligence services deciphered the telegram to tell him worse news that the Soviet Union and Germany had restarted negotiations on the Black Sea Fleet concession. Bearded, what the hell do you want to do? Can you not get involved in the war between Britain and Germany?

Churchill's roar was completely inaudible to the beard, and he urged the Foreign Affairs Committee to reach an agreement with Germany to bring in the latest German tanks and warplanes. The reason is quite simple, the situation in Central Asia has completely collapsed, and with the East Kazakhstan campaign, by November 5, a million Soviet troops had been wiped out in the campaign, including two of the few mechanized corps. This is not worse news, the worse news is that the bearded man learned that China has formed a total of 15 mechanized corps, and according to the establishment of the Chinese mechanized army, you are 45 tank brigades, and the number of tanks in each tank brigade is 35 to 400. According to this statistic, the number of tanks equipped by China has reached a number that can make people have heart attacks.

This statistic is basically true, and the number of tanks equipped by China has been increasing. This is also a major factor in the strategic oil reserves that makes President Fang Da deeply worried, and it is also the reason why Fang Jianxiong took the risk of turning his face with Germany and secretly colluded with Britain. A qiē is all for oil!

The number of tanks that the bearded man was shocked by was the result of more than 30 years of national efforts. In this time and space, China took advantage of the opportunity of World War I and economic crisis to get rid of the pattern of national turmoil and division for decades, without the bloodsucking of the biggest locust, coupled with Fang Jianxiong's painstaking management, and finally saw a powerful China standing up in the east of the world, like a father chasing the sun!

On the day of this statement, Fang Jianxiong looked proudly at the military and political dignitaries in the conference room of the Ministry of National Defense: "At this moment, I can be sure that the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is on the right track!" If we want to break through the world dominated by white West and become one of the makers who set the new rules of the game, we will have to sacrifice even more! Soldiers sacrifice their lives, ordinary people sacrifice their quality of life for a period of time! ”
