United States, White House.

A staff member in a suit and leather shoes, clutching a document tightly, ran into the presidential office conference room.

“…… The current war situation is very unfavorable to our interests and has even endangered our fundamental security. Although he gave up the occupation of the Hawaiian Islands, it was because of Yamamoto's personal reasons. However, they abandoned Hawaii and chose to launch an operation in Australia, where the first troops would land in two months at the latest, and at that time, they would have access to untold mineral resources...... In such a bad situation, the actions of the Soviet Union completely violated the spirit of the war alliance and the London agreements, and they crossed the line without the consent of the allies, giving Chinese an excuse, Zhang Shusheng is a national extremist, he cannot simply declare war, it is very likely that he will ......"

"Mr. Marshall, I do not think that Chinese would dare to make any reckless action that would further aggravate the situation, knowing that our troops are less than 300 kilometers from their Heilongjiang River, and if a real military invasion of the Soviet Union were launched, then, against the great American ......," a senior official from the newly created Department of Defense, objected to Marshall's crisis rhetoric.

With a bang, the door of the conference room was slammed open, and the visitor didn't even have time to knock on the door, gasping for breath, he raised the papers in his hand, and reported a shocking news to the well-dressed American supreme power in the office.

"A large-scale invasion of the USSR by China!"

As soon as the person finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamations in the office, although after the declaration of war in China in the early morning, most people expected that the Chinese would enter the war and fall to the side of the Axis powers, but they did not expect the Chinese to move so quickly. However, there are also reasons for the delay in information due to time differences.

Roosevelt rubbed his forehead, took the document in the staff's hand, glanced at it a few times, and then motioned, "Dr. Sinol, give you a basic introduction." ”

"Yes, Mr. President."

Sinore looked at the overwhelmed group of people and said simply, "Because of the 3 night of Hanjing time in China, the Soviets entered the territory of the Chinese without permission, causing the Chinese to declare war.

At 8 o'clock this morning, Hanjing time, according to preliminary intelligence, more than 70 divisions of the squadron [***] crossed the Sino-Soviet border from three directions and launched a very large-scale war against the Soviet Union.

And that's not even the worst.

According to the intelligence we have just received from spies, the actual number of Chinese troops participating in the war is about 2 million. In addition to the huge army, they also used thousands of aircraft, thousands of tanks, and tens of thousands of artillery pieces.

Our agents were able to see countless planes flying towards the Soviet Union, and the movement of a large tank cluster passing through could be felt from a kilometer or two away.

Preliminary estimates suggest that the Soviets are likely to have encountered a lightning operation similar to the 'Barbarossa Plan', and this time, although the Chinese launched the operation after the declaration of war, the Soviets also did not have any time to react. So far, their front-line airfields, barracks, factories and other important strategic facilities are believed to have been bombed by the Destroyer Surname. ”

As the supreme commander of the US military who was about to rush to the Far East and personally command the future Soviet battlefield, he knew very well what kind of disaster the Soviet Union, which seemed to have a very large territory, would be a disaster if more than 2 million enemy troops were added.

"Sorry gentlemen, I would like to say a word. If intelligence confirms that more than 2 million Chinese [***] troops are attacking the Soviet Union, then the Soviet Union is likely to be quickly divided into several parts by the Chinese.

Unlike the Germans, who could only attack in one general direction, they had more than 5,000 kilometers of border with the Soviet Union. Mr. Sinol, I wonder from which three directions they launched the attack? ”

Patton turned to Dr. Sinole, the White House Special Military and Political Adviser.

Sinor nodded, motioned for the staff to change to the map of the Soviet Union, and then drew three arrows on it with a pen, "The preliminary judgment is the direction of Xinjiang Province, the direction of Mongolia, and the direction of the Far East." ”

Looking at the three thick red arrows, even people who knew nothing about military affairs could see the serious surname, and President Roosevelt couldn't help but ask, "Do the Chinese really want to cut the red giant?" God, this is incredible. General Patton, what do you think? ”

Barton was just about to pick up his pipe, but when he heard this, he put it back on the edge of the ashtray, sighed, got up and walked to the map, waved his hand, and said, "Gentlemen, if you follow these three directions of attack, then, you are likely to see one such scene next." ”

He picked up a pen and first circled the whole of Central Asia in the west of the map, about the place where Central Asia was. Then a vertical line was drawn in the central part of Siberia, dividing the Trans-Siberian Railway into east and west, and finally a large circle was drawn in the Far East, enclosing all the maps of power representing the Soviets and the American army.

"Gentlemen, this is the great rear of the Soviets, and if there is no invasion by the Chinese, they will provide strong support for the Soviets' war like the most honest Indian farmers, and now they may all be occupied by the Chinese. Just as the Germans did.

And here, once the Trans-Siberian Railway is cut off, it will be a very serious consequence.

As for the Far East, let's not forget that there is also Yue himself, there were originally more than two million Yue troops that needed to be wiped out by the great Soviet Red Army and brave American soldiers, but this time, if there were nearly a million reinforcements from the Chinese, they could surround us in turn.

Lo and behold, this is the worst-case scenario, and of course, I think it is also a very likely outcome of the war. ”

Barton waved his hand and sat back in his place.

"Perhaps there is no worse situation, Mr. Marshall, which the General Staff had not foreseen before?" Roosevelt turned to Army Chief of Staff Marshall, the general who was about to be promoted to Chief of the General Staff.

Marshall stood up and said, "Actually, Mr. President, we foresaw all the worst-case scenarios. We thought it was possible for Chinese to attack the Soviet Union, and we also thought that it was possible for Chinese to attack Southeast Asia, so we chose to join us in divisions, then to attack the Far East, and finally even landed with us in the ......."

Everyone was silent, this was equivalent to saying nothing, sure enough, Roosevelt just looked a little angry, and then dissipated a little, and the spearhead turned to Copeland, director of the US Strategic Intelligence Bureau, "Mr. Copeland, didn't the Intelligence Bureau get information about the large-scale military movements of the Chinese before this?" ”

Copeland got up and said quickly, "Mr. President, in fact, like General Marshall, we have also received information on Chinese unusual movements, but ...... While they moved a million troops to the north, they also moved more troops in the direction of Southeast Asia.

Perhaps it is not clear to everyone that the Chinese army has a very high secret surname, and the difference between their reserve forces and the standing army is very small, and it is difficult for us to distinguish whether they are the main force, or the reserve force used for feints, or even the militia......"

Seeing Roosevelt sitting there with his eyes closed, everyone stopped talking, and at this worst moment, no one dared to touch the moldy head of the president in a wheelchair.

Halfway through, Roosevelt opened his eyes and said, "Although we still need to observe the overall war capability of the Chinese and the combat effectiveness of the army, it is already a fact that they are a formidable opponent."

It is too late to condemn Stalin's conceit and stupidity, the worst has already happened, and now we must discuss how to deal with it, and I hope that after this meeting, a preliminary consensus can be reached, and then it will be made public. ”

An hour and a half later, Roosevelt took over the terms of the meeting that his secretary had put together, looked at the results of these preliminary discussions, and concluded, "The result of the discussion is, first of all, to unite Britain and other allies of the Central Powers and discuss the overall response strategy."

In addition, first, to increase conscription, once again send more troops to the Far East, and General Patton, who had originally gone to the Soviet-German battlefield, was transferred to the Far Eastern theater. Second, it is necessary to further implement the policy of war production and intensify the war. Third, abide by the Allied treaties, exercise strategic control over trade, and prepare for a possible all-out war with the Chinese. ”

After the meeting, Marshall quickly followed Roosevelt and entered the president's office together, "Mr. President, it's time to win over more countries with interests, join the Allies, join this war, we need more troops, like Canadians, South American...... We must help them build and train more troops......"

What these high-ranking military and political dignitaries could not foresee is that many incredible changes are taking place all over the United States.

Washington, Josekov Ave.

The streets were already blaring with frantic car horns, but the traffic did not ease, and the streets were still jammed with a long queue.

"Damn."

Miss Mays, who works for the Washington Post, rolled out the door of her beloved 'China' brand commercial car, endured the large amount of exhaust emissions from the Ford and several junk cars next to her, and looked forward to what was happening ahead.

"**, why are there so many people?"

As far as the eye can see, 100 meters ahead, at the intersection of the streets, there are already a large number of people, and this is the most famous commercial center in the vicinity, with a large number of supermarkets and luxury stores. People are even frantically rushing towards the largest commercial pedestrian street on the opposite street, even in defiance of traffic rules.

"Lady, do you know what's going on?" A Ford S next to him turned on, and an Indian dressed in support poked his head out and asked Mace.

Mace held back his ill feelings towards him and his classic car and shook his head, "Only God knows." ”

Seeing more and more cars crowded together at the intersection, as if they were all people rushing to this commercial center, Mace had to close the car door, take his camera, and walk forward. Looking at the traffic jam in front of her, she couldn't get to the White House anyway, and she definitely couldn't catch up with the president's urgent speech that the newspaper asked her to attend. She needed to find a phone booth and have the editor-in-chief change to go to the damn White House press conference.

From time to time, Mace finally came to the most crowded place, and asked a woman who was trying to run towards the supermarket and the store in front of her, "Excuse me, this lady, what are you doing?" ”

"Huh? God, don't you know that the war has begun? The woman asked rhetorically.

"Oh God, of course I know, I'm going to interview, it's about the damn war." Mace said with a wave of his hand.

The woman smiled and said, "We have declared war on the Chinese, so the price of these goods will increase in the future." Everyone is talking about the unfortunate news that Chinese goods will be out of stock.

God, please forgive me, I need to buy more foundation, lipstick, repair cream...... Of course, it would be nice to grab the latest TV, or buy a little more medicine to spare...... Damn, these are all produced Chinese, and after the start of the war, we will not be able to buy ......"

Until the woman with a bulging cash bag rushed into the store, Mace was still stunned at the door. Coming to her senses, she also walked into a store.

As a high-income earner, a large part of Mays's usual expenses are cosmetics and skin care products, as well as new clothing, and she knows very well that those products are all made in China without exception.

The war has begun, and just now on the streets, there are hippies running, shouting about Chinese going to war, and some people dancing in the streets to celebrate...... Although she did not know why these people rejoiced...... Mace walked into a supermarket complex, and with a glance, she saw a large number of products labeled 'Made in China'.

Almost subconsciously, Metz pulled through a shopping cart with the latest configuration in the mall, and rushed to put a bottle of Osha brand shampoo in front of him into the shopping cart. She has been using this brand of Chinese shampoo, which does not hurt her hair, and is very soft and has a good hair shine effect.

Then, like a robbery, snatched the last five pairs of Misha stockings, three new pairs of heels, a couple of the latest Emmyca bras...... "This one needs too." Mace muttered to himself as he put a collection of cosmetics into the shopping cart, regardless of type.

Then there were a few high-end Chinese-made lighters for my husband, Chinese-made toys for my children, and then ...... Clothes, bags...... And by this time, Mace had already spent the amount of cash on his body, even in the mezzanine of his car, just in case...... Back home, Mace, who missed the interview, looked at the Chinese goods she snapped up and bought with a whole car, and she finally conceived a new news focus: they: what they need is that in the supermarket, because China has entered the war, the crowd of people who are rushing to grab Chinese goods because of China's entry into the war...... In the news, Mace wrote: "...... It's not that people are crazy, it's not that they're afraid of war, it's that we can't do without Chinese goods...... Thirty years of time, let our life, full of Made in China, these four charming Chinese characters...... The war has begun, and we will be forced to use 'Made in the USA,' which will be a sad result...... Perhaps, we should look for a solution......"

And in addition to the frenzied market, there are already people who have foreseen stocks that will plummet when the exchanges open on Monday because of China's possible entry into the Axis...... Britain, London, was somewhat alarmed when Churchill received reports of the full 'entry' of the Chinese into the Soviet Union.

"Mr. Prime Minister, this speech ......"

The chamberlain at the Prime Minister's Office held in his hand a press conference that had been prepared early in the morning, and according to the arrangement, the Prime Minister was to deliver an important speech to the British newspaper and the public at 8:30 a.m. in Downing Street.

In this speech, there is an English phrase 'enter'. This part of the speech goes like this,'...... While our allies entered their territory without the permission of the Chinese......

Churchill shook his head and squeezed out a small smile, "This time it was Chinese illegally 'entered' the territory of the Soviet Union......"

"Yes, one entry, just on a very large scale." The attendant remembered the report he had just seen, more than two million troops, thousands of planes and thousands of tanks, and another 'Soviet-German war' had broken out. And this time, instead of a consolidated rear, the Soviets were full of gunsmoke.

Churchill tapped his pipe and said, "I want to see Mr. Oren at once, and perhaps the American ambassador to England can help us." We cannot afford to watch this stupid ally fall. ”

Berlin, Germany.

"My Goering, this is the best news I have heard since the beginning of the war." Hitler laughed loudly at the report on the table, and even couldn't help but slam his fist on the table, Goering understood that the great Nazi Führer was accustomed to venting in such a way when he was in great sorrow and joy.

"Of course, this is a more exciting story than Pearl Harbor. This was the victory of the Axis organizations. I predict that it will definitely be a turning point in World War II and a signal of victory in the war. It was the policy of uniting China that the great Führer had always carried out that allowed us to finally gain this great ally.

Myself, the Jews, even gold, technical data, machines, and even all commercial orders, these are nothing, long live the Führer, leading us to the friendship of the Chinese. It's the great Führer......" Goering flattered the great Führer's strategic decisions.

Hitler laughed for a while, then he raised his head, looked at Ribbentrop with a happy face, and said, "Ribbentrop, my minister, now is the time when you need to intervene." First of all, I need you to form a negotiation team as quickly as possible.

First, confirm the alliance with the Chinese as soon as possible and let them join the great organization of the Axis powers.

Second, we have difficulties in the development of many weapons, I heard that the Chinese have advanced weapons, and you should try to negotiate so that they fulfill their responsibilities as allies.

Third, as quasi-allies, we should demarcate spheres of influence for them, distinguish them from ourselves, and give them everything that interests them. The territory of those damned Soviets is so far away from us, you can promise them all of Central Asia, even Siberia, of course, if it comes to post-war issues, you can promise, islands in the Pacific Ocean, you can choose as they choose.

You have to remember that as war allies, we need them to fulfill our responsibilities and at the same time give them the best possible benefits, so that we can be bound more tightly together. ”

"Yes, Great Führer, everything is as you wish." Ribbentrop couldn't help but think of the Chinese head of state who had met twice, and unconsciously compared him with the head of state in front of him, and for some reason, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He didn't know what it was like, but his instincts told him that the Eastern Führer might be even more terrifying than the one in front of him.

Hanjing, the base camp of the Chinese head of state, inside the huge multi-purpose combat hall.

The busy staff officers quickly analyzed and recorded the wars in the three battlefields, and then marked the progress of the offensive in real time through three huge maps.

Jiang Baili accompanied Zhang Shusheng, looked at the joy on the faces of the busy staff officers, looked at the constantly updated changes in the battle situation from time to time, and said, "Chairman, everything is as planned, and the war is going very smoothly. At present, the progress of the middle army is the fastest, relying on the absolute superiority of the armored corps, and the very good battlefield terrain, their advance speed is the fastest. ”

Raising his wrist and looking at his watch, Jiang Baili said, "It has only been an hour since the war started, and they have already advanced dozens of kilometers, and they are about to attack Kyakhta, the first city heavily guarded by the Soviets."

That's a pretty impressive speed. They even completely left the cleaning of the battlefield and prisoners to the troops who followed up. It is said that the follow-up troops in trucks could not keep up with their offensive and the speed at which they tore through the Soviets' border defenses. ”

Zhang Shusheng nodded, "The early attack must have been very smooth, Fang Zhen, you said that if this was a few decades earlier, we could still go to the battlefield together to lead the troops to fight." ”

"Chairman of the committee, you don't see old at all, I am really old, and I have the intention of killing the enemy, and I can only talk on paper." Jiang Baili sighed, the chairman of the committee really does not look old, and even when he looks closely, he feels that there is no difference between the chairman and the young people.

"yes, I hope everything goes well." Zhang Shusheng looked at the busy people in the busy comprehensive combat hall, but saw Lu Yunyan coming over.

"Be careful, I'm late."

"How are you at home?" Zhang Shusheng took Lu Yunyan to the lounge and asked.

Lu Yunyan nodded and said, "Old Man He was so angry that he was hospitalized, and after waking up, he said a word, saying that He An was if... If he dies on the battlefield, he will die immediately. blame everyone for hiding it from him, about He An's going to the battlefield. It's also your fault for this, you know that the old man is most afraid that He An will have three longs and two shorts on the battlefield, and you give him special approval......"

Zhang Shusheng smiled bitterly, "Yunyan, He An was originally an active soldier, if it weren't for my father-in-law forcing him to become the head of the reserve regiment, he might have accumulated more military merits and made further progress." Because of this incident, he also had a conflict with Ning Er for a long time. I also have no choice, if I don't give him special permission to return to active duty and participate in the war against the Soviet Union, he will go to become a monk.

What's more, according to the war mobilization order that has been issued, even if he does not go to the north in advance, he will immediately be transferred from reserve to active duty, and even I cannot interfere in this. Otherwise, he will either become a monk or go to a military court, and I will just let him transfer to active duty in advance......"

"Wouldn't it? He An isn't so confused, is he? Lu Yunyan also felt that his head was big, among these relatives, He An was just like a child who didn't grow up, and after having a son, he still had the surname of shouting and killing.

"Won't? This little rabbit cub has nothing to dare to do. Zhang Shusheng shook his head, he has always had a headache about the affairs of the He family, "You don't know, He An and his wife have no relationship at all, he was going to marry a woman who was 12 years older than him, but the old man He insisted on drugging him, cooked raw rice into cooked rice, and acted and hanged himself, forcing him to start a family and have children." Both father and son are too stubborn, and they are not at all something that ordinary people can persuade. He has to go to the battlefield, and I can only give special approval, and I can't watch them make trouble every day.

What's more, every family without parents and young will always have to make sacrifices in war......"

Lu Yunyan nodded, "...... Also. But come to think of it, he's probably already in the Soviet Union now......"

…… Lu Yunyan is right, at this time, He An was on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, sitting on a tank, playing with a newly captured Soviet TT33 tokalie pistol, smoking cigarettes with several young soldiers, chatting, although his face was blackened with gunpowder, but he was very energetic.

Compared to the pampered life in the capital, he felt that the battlefield was his favorite place. Here, in addition to military regulations and military discipline, he doesn't have to scruple about anything, he eats meat in large pieces, scolds loudly, doesn't need to look at the old man's face, and doesn't need to listen to nagging.

"I said Zhang Dafu, I haven't seen you in the past two or three years, and this bazooka is still so accurate, haha...... Damn, I almost didn't catch the war, I left a few months early, and I only returned a few days early. He An sat on the roof of the tank with a dark face, holding a cigarette in his hand, joking with a small soldier next to him, while several other soldiers took the Chinese cigarette handed by the battalion commander with a smile on their faces.

"Captain He, don't make fun of me. It was only after you left that we heard that you were going to be promoted, which was really unlucky. However, you are still so righteous enough, and you send out so many Chinese cigarettes as soon as you come, which is refreshing. "The soldier named Zhang Dafu had just used a rocket to directly hit the pillbox at the end of the bridge, and he had just made a meritorious contribution to the battle.

"What Commander? Now the deputy battalion commander. Zhonghua cigarettes are a fart, when the war is over, the brothers will count a few, after returning to China, I will send you ten years of cigarette money, damn, after the war, let you all live a fucking good life. He An said in a fart, he finally found the feeling of the long-lost troops, just now on the infantry regiment that cooperated with the tank troops, their regiment was responsible for taking an important bridge, and after a few years, they came into contact with actual combat. At the beginning, he sneaked away from the garrison to the field army, but he didn't expect to participate in the Sino-Soviet border war, and later left the active service after being deceived back by the old man. This time, fortunately, it caught up.

Several soldiers next to him, although they had just received high-grade Chinese cigarettes with filters, were still a little unconvinced, thinking that the deputy battalion commander, who had only 'returned' before the war, was bragging.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, don't you believe it?" Zhang Dafu lifted his sleeves and immediately blew up, "Tell you, He Tuan back then... Deputy Battalion Commander He was transferred from the capital garrison area. When he was the regiment commander, the regiment headquarters put several large baskets of Chinese cigarettes on display every day, damn, which company had outstanding training, which company directly carried away a basket, it was dozens of Chinese cigarettes. ”

Everyone gasped, they didn't expect that this deputy battalion commander who had just arrived was really a rich officer. Although Chinese cigarettes are not expensive, they are expensive for high-grade cigarettes.

He An smiled stinkily, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lao Tzu He An never brags." Brothers come to fight with their heads, it's hard enough, as long as you fight well and fight well, I will never treat you badly. I don't do anything that violates discipline, but when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, I He An takes out my own pocket, which is not a violation of discipline. It's too late to fight, so I brought this cigarette, and I'll see if I can pay more money for the auction loot to reward the brothers. ”

"Deputy battalion commander, this, this is not very good. What a waste. A soldier whispered.

"Waste? Spending on your brothers who were born and died is not called waste, this is called spending money together. It's still the same sentence, follow me and work hard, the war is over, as long as I can remember it and give me a thumbs up, I will let you all be 10,000 households. He An patted his chest and said.

"Really? Deputy battalion commander, if you go bankrupt to support everyone by then, it's not good. A flamboyant soldier said.

"Bankrupt? Don't hide it from my brothers, I have a lot of factories and companies, fight hard, behave well, I'll take a notebook to remember you. He An has no concept of money, he only knows that in addition to the shares held by his sister and brother-in-law, the thirty percent of the shares of Xinhe Industrial, although the He family only has the right to distribute dividends, it is already a huge wealth.

And this money, for a person in his twenties who is preoccupied with war, is just a number, and does not represent anything at all. He firmly believes that if the old man dies one day, he will definitely give most of the family wealth to these brothers who were born and died.

He was born with no interest in business, nor in politics. Not to mention anything else, the brother-in-law who has developed since he was a child, whether it is economics or politics, is beyond his reach.

In his opinion, instead of doing some inexplicable business, it is better to hand over Xinhe Industry to his brother-in-law's Shusheng Group and dividends.

As for politics, he is even less interested, he has seen too much ancient court politics since he was a child, and he doesn't think that as a 'national relative', he has nothing to fight for.

On the contrary, he felt that he had lived a very depressed life under the authority of the old man all these years, and this time he was determined to join the war, so that the army could let him find a passionate sense of belonging. And the battlefield can make him feel that life is so fulfilling.

In He An's reverie, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded, "There is Kyakhta ahead, everyone is ready to fight!" ”

He An stood on the tank and looked at it, and it turned out that over the hill was Kyakhta, the first city of the mid-line operation. And as the vanguard, their task is to quickly take Kyakhta. As a defensive side, this city near the border has long been converted into a small city fortress. The Soviets tried in vain to use the Soviet-German battlefield to block the speed of the Chinese's march.

"Damn, let me show you how much difference there is between the Chinese Wehrmacht and the Germans." He An said hatefully, his whole body was boiling, and the battle was about to start.

(To be continued)
