December 8, 1939, Xinyang, Henan.

It has been two months since the Northwest War, and to people living in the interior, how the war was fought is like standing in front of a blurred mirror, and it is completely impossible to see clearly. Although there are rumors coming back one after another, most of them are rumors. There are those who say that there are tens of thousands of enemies who have won a great victory, there are also those who say that Soviet soldiers have already entered Xinjiang, and there are also those who say that Soviet spies have caused trouble and sabotage in Gansu, Beihai, and Baotou. But with the exception of a few incidents of sabotage, the vast majority have not been recognized, which has left many people puzzled. The pre-war Republic of China was one of the most free countries in the world in terms of newspapers and speech, but since the president announced wartime control, even the most famous "bad mouths" have avoided the war in Northwest and Central Asia. Most of the newspapers and broadcasts contained photographs of cities where the Soviet invasion had killed civilians or been ruined by the Soviet Union, or various patriotic propaganda, or a large number of conscription and recruitment information.

The more unable to know the truth, the more unsettling it is. Especially after the news that Semiyi and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were surrounded, the maps of the newsstands of the major bookstores were almost sold out, and even many elderly people wore reading glasses to find this small city on the northwestern border and looked at it several times. The battlefield photos like ghosts on the graves, even people in the mainland couldn't help but sweat. You must know that although the Soviet Union was beaten in Iran before, there are now two million soldiers outside the northwest. Two million! Thinking that the president swept the whole country back then, and there were only three and a half million horses in his hands, could the northwest be defended? Once the northwest is lost, Gansu and Mongolia have no danger to defend, not to mention, Beihai, Chimion, Karamay, Yumenguan, these oil fields involving the country's industrial lifeline will be lost, in the imagination of Japan has occupied most of the South Seas, if Singapore is blocked, Saudi Arabia and Sumatra oil transit will not be allowed. I'm afraid I won't even be able to drive a car for long.

Although there is a constant stream of news of victories coming back from Iran at the bottom, it is the Northwest that people are most concerned about! Under this anxiety, the clouds are getting stronger and stronger, and even the warm winter sun cannot be dispelled, and even the previously popular recruitment station is affected. Although the world's No. 1 human resources ensure the speed of mobilization, all kinds of whispers can be heard in the long queue of people waiting for the medical examination in the early morning. He Hai was in the middle, like the young people who came from all over the world with the belief of protecting their homes and defending the country, holding the certificate issued by the township. Waiting for an enlistment medical exam. Due to the early arrival, there were still a few doctors at the physical examination station who had not arrived, so everyone was waiting while the topic revolved around the war in the northwest. All kinds of rumors around him made him trance, could it be that the front line had really lost a big battle? Is it really as miserable as they say? To go to the battlefield is to be cannon fodder?

He Hai doesn't have too many great sentiments. In addition to the principle of protecting his family and defending the country, he also dreams of earning money to improve the conditions of his family, but the danger and unknown panic make him more and more chaotic the more he thinks about it.

Just when he was at a loss, his body was slammed from behind. Looking back, a thin figure had already rushed into the human dragon like a fly, and without even apologizing, he buried his head in the physical examination room. "Hey! That who. Don't cut the line! The young man who cut in line aroused public outrage, but he didn't seem to have any reaction, and even shouted and shouted: "Doctor Yang! Dr. Yang, quick. Turn on the radio! ”

"Xiao Meng, how are you?" The military doctor who was in charge of the initial inspection saw the young man who cut in line, and was interrupted by a commotion behind him before he could finish asking. "Cut in line, doctor. He's cutting in line! Even if you want to beat the hair, there must be a first come, first come. "The young man provoked public outrage. But she didn't care much, wiped her sweat and turned her head and jumped onto the stool next to her. He Hailai also wanted to question, but he didn't want to be a young man standing on the stool and turning his head, only to find that it was actually a young girl wearing a doctor's logo and a beautiful face. "It would be nice if she would help me check it later!" Among the crowds, many young people who were boiling with blood were already dizzy, but the young girl continued to shout anxiously: "Wait a minute, everyone! Dr. Yang, turn on the radio first. My sister called from the newspaper and said that the big news was about to be announced. ”

"Newspaper? Big news? What's the big news? As soon as they shouted, everyone asked loudly.

For the sake of publicity, the recruitment stations all have radios, and Dr. Yang is very familiar with the girl, so he hurriedly smiled and asked people to turn on the radio. "You girl, don't worry, I'll open it." Dr. Yang, like everyone else, didn't care too much about the big news. After turning on the radio, the rustling sound of electricity quickly flowed out of the loudspeaker, and after less than half a minute, the sweet broadcast sound came through.

"Good morning, listeners, and now for the big news. As confirmed by the Ministry of National Defense and the Presidential Office, the officers and men of our National Defense Force, despite the severe cold and the fatigue of continuous combat, finally surrounded the invading Sukou in one fell swoop after 58 days of bloody fighting. As of yesterday evening's deadline, a total of 790,000 Sukou enemy troops had laid down their arms and surrendered to our army, and 380,000 recalcitrant enemies had been annihilated! A total of 3,143 aircraft and 3,122 tanks were destroyed. ”

Quiet, quiet, still quiet!

Loved by countless young people, the first thing that the announcer with the sweetest voice in China brings is not carnival, not shouting but quiet, absolutely quiet! Everyone was stunned, He Hai was even more completely confused, just now someone said that there was a fiasco, a loss or something, but he didn't expect that in just a few minutes, there was a big turning point in the sky and on the ground! The ancestors and the ancestors are above, 1.17 million, that's 1.17 million! A full 1.17 million enemies were wiped out!

"Long live China!"

"Long live the Wehrmacht!"

The first one to jump up was none other than the young girl who had just bumped into He Hai and stood on the stool like a boy with her arms outstretched. Her crisp cry was like a thunderbolt, completely shattering the silent sky!

"Northwest victory! A great victory in Central Asia! ”

"Long live China! Long live the Wehrmacht! Long live the president! ”

The girl took her head, jumped with emotionless cheers, and then rushed to He Hai like a naughty child, flashing tears of joy, and her cheeks were red: "I'm sorry, I bumped into you just now." But we won! Won! The girl apologized and was happy incoherently, and hugged He Hai fiercely in the end.

He Hai also didn't realize it, completely forgetting how lucky he was, his mind was full of great victories, victories, and the astonishing number of 1.17 million!

The long human dragon was completely scattered. Countless young people cheered, and some climbed onto the roof, pulled out the national flag and waved it vigorously! Dr. Yang, who was even over a year old, was infected by this frenzy, and asked people to bring out firecrackers for the farewell of the recruits and spread them on the streets, using the best way he could think of to fill in the sound of this jubilant world. There are no words to describe the land of Shenzhou at this moment, if God has a timer, then it will be discovered. From Natuna in the far south to Temple Street in the north, all those who received the news through the radio clenched their fists and waved their arms vigorously in a cry of forgetfulness. What rumors, what rumors, in front of the number 1.17 million. It's all bullshit! Young people have gone mad, school classrooms are littered with books, factory workers pick up tools and tap hard to vent their excitement, and the national anthem is heard in the boot camp. Even many elderly people shouted high in this hot beat, as if this is the only way to wash away the grievances of being tormented by the great calamity of the north for hundreds of years! And then. The story of "Huo Hu's riding and sealing the wolf Juxu" that has been passed down from generation to generation is put at this moment, and the streets and alleys are full of bubbling.

Great victory! A real victory that has never been seen before!

1.17 million God!

The deafening sound soon rushed into the hotel where Marshall, who was trimming his beard and preparing to go to Airbus' Xinyang assembly plant to visit and meet Yang Qiu again. "William. What's going on out there? Marshall paused and listened to the sudden increase in noise outside the window, like wiping his hand through a mirror stained with hot water mist and looking inside for coffee. View profile of William Joseph Donovan.

The successive sorties of Japan and Germany, the start of the war between China and the Soviet Union. The chaos of the U.S. intelligence community, the rigid State Department, and the unbreakable bonds of Congress made Roosevelt determined to seek change. Therefore, I specially invited the old classmates of the year to be the post-80s Shaolin abbot. Donovan was also very interested in this plan, and specially joined the delegation to China to secretly inspect China's preparations for war and the war in Central Asia, hoping to provide Roosevelt with a detailed "China Report" on technology, economy, industrial scale, and war potential.

Donovan was also confused by the sudden increase in decibels, put down the information collected by American diplomats, technicians and friendly people in China, and was about to open the door to go out to see what was happening, when the American ambassador Jensen suddenly pushed the door and rushed in. "William? Sorry, did it hit you? ”

"It's okay." Donovan rubbed his injured shoulder and asked, "Ambassador Jensen, what's going on outside?" ”

"Something big has happened!" Jensen shrugged his shoulders and walked to the bathroom door with an extremely serious expression: "General Marshall, I just got a message. A week ago, the squadron completed the encirclement of Soviet troops east of the Aral Sea, in the Kazakh region! ”

"What!"

Before he could finish speaking, Donovan had already rushed over quickly, and even Marshall suddenly stopped wiping his face and turned his head in disbelief. As if he hadn't seen it, Ambassador Jensen continued to speak in a nightmarish tone about the news that had just been announced: "I don't know whether to congratulate them or to be worried, because they have not only completed the siege, but have also exterminated a total of 380,000 Soviet troops and captured a full 790,000 by last night!" ”

"Is this true?" Donovan opened his mouth wide, and Marshall clenched his fists even more, still with an expression of disbelief: "The annihilation of 1.17 million? Jensen, are you kidding? Could it be that the Soviets are all sleeping?! Jensen shook his head affirmatively: "I also hope it's a joke, but obviously His Excellency Yang Qiu doesn't think so." He has already announced the news through the radio, all of China is not! The whole world will receive it in a few hours! Both, I know him too well. If he can choose to make it public in this way and report such accurate figures, then it must be true! ”

"God!"

Marshall believed that Jensen, as a veteran diplomat who had been in the Far East for six years, had no need to lie, let alone help Yang Qiu create false news. Donovan next to him didn't know what to say, you know, the original United States predicted that the battle would be deadlocked because of the severe cold, and Yang Qiu's counterattack would not appear until at least next spring, but everyone didn't expect that in just two months, Yang Qiu and his army had completed a super reversal from being invaded to being encircled!

Marshall was completely stunned, and sat down slowly after a while: "Jensen, please inform them, I have some things, and I hope to leave half an hour late." ”

Half an hour late? Jensen looked at Marshall and Donovan and twitched the corners of his mouth. Asking a country's president to wait for half an hour is an extremely rare faux pas in the history of diplomacy! This shows how confused the general has been. But he didn't say much, because he also knew that if he set off now, he would definitely be passive after meeting Yang Qiu, so they needed to digest the news immediately and think about what to do after meeting.

But the moment he opened the door and walked out, the staggering number was still echoing in his mind.

1.17 million!

Oh, God!
