Lao Jiang pondered for a while, and then asked in a deep voice: "Suyan, tell me honestly, how likely is it that the United States and Japan are like?" ”

"100 percent, if there is no major change in the international situation in the near future, Japan will take action." Chen Feng replied.

"Is the U.S. prepared for this?" Lao Jiang asked again.

Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "In recent centuries, American isolationism has been prevalent, and the American people have refused to get involved in any war. Just like after the September 18 Incident, they condemned Japan for violating the treaty and refused to recognize Manchukuo. However, they are careful not to make any gestures, making them vulnerable to a conflict for which they are not prepared. ”

However, the current president of the United States, Roosevelt, was a very strategic man, and he was also a man who was good at timing. He had long warned Americans to beware of the threat from Japan, and Roosevelt was convinced that war between Japan and the United States was inevitable, but he was trying to delay it so that he would be in a better position to meet it. He took limited and cautious retaliatory measures against Japan, with the aim of convincing the Japanese that the attitude of the United States was firm. ”

"After the Japanese army stationed in Guangdong invaded northern French Indochina in 38, the United States imposed a partial embargo on goods that were indispensable to Japanese industry, starting with steel and scrap iron, and the list of embargoed goods gradually became longer, and the last trump card was oil. At the same time, the United States has made huge loans to China and allowed China to participate in the Lend-Lease Club at the end of last year. All of this is a manifestation of the attitude of the United States to Japan, and in the eyes of the Japanese, the United States is a naked provocation. And in the past two years, the military strength of the United States has been greatly enhanced, 39 years. The total strength of the US Army is only about 100,000, and the Navy is only 20,000, and in just two years, the total number of US Army has exceeded 300,000, and the Navy has increased to 50,000. However, even so, it may be difficult for the Americans to protect their interests in the South Pacific. ”

Lao Jiang asked puzzledly: "What is this for, can't the United States stop the Japanese attack under the premise that it has been prepared for a long time?" ”

"Not really. The main thing is that there is something wrong with the minds of the Americans! ”

"Thoughts. What does this have to do with the minds of Americans? ”

Chen Feng replied: "The isolationism is rife in the United States, and the United States is a self-proclaimed democracy, and if the vast majority of the people are not willing to go to war, even the president cannot force anyone." Therefore. Roosevelt needed an excuse. An excuse for Americans to go to war. ”

"Isn't it okay for Japan to attack the islands in the South Pacific?"

"Of course not. The main islands in the South Pacific were controlled by the Dutch and the British, and the United States only occupied one Philippines there, so even the Japanese went south. As long as the interests of the Americans are not touched, the American people will not agree to the government sending troops, and Roosevelt now needs an excuse that he must enter the war, and this excuse is that Japan will directly attack the territory of the United States. ”

"Will the Japanese do that?"

"Of course, Japan now regards the United States as the biggest enemy in the Pacific region, coupled with the deliberate provocation of the Roosevelt administration, it has already made mental preparations for war, and if the Roosevelt administration creates another wonderful opportunity for the Japanese government, the Japanese will not give up."

"However, in this way, the Americans will lose the initiative and opportunity in the war, and their original strength will not be comparable to others, and if they lose the initiative in the war, the Americans will probably suffer a big loss, so the Americans will not perform too well at the beginning of the war, and even worse than the party-state back then." Chen Feng replied.

"Solemn, then what should we do, you also know the situation in China, if it weren't for the profits of penicillin drugs and the support of the U.S. government's loans in recent years, the party-state would have fallen apart long ago, and now the international situation is unpredictable, and I, the chairman of the committee, are also walking on thin ice." Lao Jiang said with emotion.

Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "Although the war between the United States and Japan is a disaster for the entire world, the scale of this war has become larger, and the scope of the war has become wider, but it is a good thing for us, the most important thing is that Japan's spearhead is not only aimed at us China. As the contradictions between the United States and Japan escalate, China's position in Asia will rise rapidly, and the United States, both public and private, will not watch China be destroyed by Japan. ”

In addition, as the scale of the war continues to expand, Japan's already insufficient strategic materials will be rapidly depleted, which will have a major impact on future wars, and it can be said that the United States and Japan will go to war, and China will benefit. Therefore, what we have to do is to constantly move closer to the United States, ask for weapons, equipment, and loans, and the most important thing is to establish a principle, that is, China was an independent country with complete sovereignty, not an incompetent regime like the Qing Dynasty, still less a weak and bully. ”

"Well, what Su Yan said makes sense! The future is terrifying, this strategic vision alone is not comparable to those generals in China! Lao Jiang said with emotion.

Chen Feng smiled and continued: "Commission, I have one more thing to do when I go south to Chongqing this time, and that is to talk about the issue of the first war zone!" ”

"What's wrong with the First War Zone, does Su Yan want to enter Henan?" Lao Jiang stared at Chen Feng and asked.

Chen Feng smiled and said: "The commission misunderstood, Henan is just a chicken rib for me, now the battle line of the Eighth War Zone starts from Outer Mongolia in the north to southern Hebei in the south, spanning 2,000 kilometers, and nearly 2,000 kilometers from east to west. ”

"Then why did Su Yan send troops south to Henan this time, and there was a conflict with the troops in the First War Zone?"

Chen Feng didn't answer Lao Jiang's question, but asked with a smile: "Before answering the question of the commission, please allow me to ask the commissioner a question first!" ”

"What's the problem?"

"Bench, what do you think is a soldier?" Chen Feng asked solemnly.

"Military personnel are members of a country's national defense strength, and their duty is to safeguard national security, government stability, and social stability." Old Jiang Dao.

Chen Feng nodded noncommittally and said, "That's right, but in my opinion, the military is a wall, and on one side of the wall is peace, and on the other side is death." The value of a soldier lies in dedication, and the professional value of a soldier cannot be measured in money. The sacrifices made by soldiers, the youth, blood, sweat and even lives they have paid cannot be measured by tangible materials. Whether it is a war era or a peaceful era, at the juncture when it is necessary to shed blood and sacrifice and need to charge into battle, there will always be soldiers, and the value of soldiers is reflected in its noble mission of protecting the people from infringement! ”

Then Chen Feng said: "The Japanese army invaded Henan, and the group of wine bags and rice bags in the First War Zone did not think about how to defend the enemy and protect the people, but rushed to escape, and even the theater headquarters fled to Luoyang in a hurry, leaving only a dissatisfied infantry regiment in Zhengzhou. ”

Not to mention whether this idea can really stop the Japanese army from capturing Henan, the disaster caused by the diversion of the Yellow River by digging the Yellow River embankment alone is not something that anyone can afford. Think about the mighty Yellow River suddenly going south, and the homes of tens of millions of people downstream will become a country, how many people will die, 100,000 or 1 million? Even if no one says it now, but what about a few years and decades from now? ”

"I can't watch those innocent people pay the bill because of the incompetence of the government and the army, even if it costs a lot of money, I will stand up, because I am a soldier, I want to be worthy of the honor and mission of the soldier, and even more worthy of this military uniform."

Lao Jiang's face was obviously not good-looking, but Chen Feng didn't save him any face when he said this. Anyone can imagine that Jiang Dingwen didn't have the courage to give such an order, and only he Jiang someone dared to give such an order. Chen Feng's words were clearly telling him that if the Yellow River burst really happened, even he, Jiang, would not be able to bear such a responsibility, and would even bear the infamy of the ages.

This politician cherishes feathers, and veterans are no exception, if this is really recorded in history, it will really be remembered for 10,000 years, thinking of this, Lao Jiang himself can't help but be afraid. But Chen Feng still made him very unhappy when he said this in front of him, this is a slap in the face!

"Solemn, serious, those people in the First War Zone have no way to make this decision, the elite of the First War and the First War in Eastern Henan are all lost, and the remaining more than 100,000 remnants of the defeated generals alone cannot stop the attack of the Japanese mechanized troops. If important cities such as Zhengzhou and Kaifeng fall into the hands of the Japanese unharmed, it will be an enemy! "Old Jiang Dao.

"Commission, although Jiang Dingwen is your favorite general and one of the five tiger generals under you, but in my eyes he is an out-and-out straw bag, I really don't know how he got into the high position of the commander of the theater of operations. When the Japanese army attacked, he didn't even specify the minimum defensive battle plan, and Sun Dianying's department did not take remedial measures after surrendering to the enemy, but ran directly to Luoyang with his family, which was simply a long-legged general. ”

Then Chen Feng said: "There must be many people in Chongqing who say that I, Chen, am trying to grab land and make a big joke in the world, am I Chen someone greedy for wealth, fame and fortune?" With the patented technology in my hands, I can't get as much money as I want, I have millions of elite troops in my hands, I have the right to ask for money and money, and I have four beautiful wives at home, so I take the risk to go to the troubled waters of Henan? ”

"In order to hold Zhengzhou, the paratroopers under my command almost lost everything, and the rest of the troops also lost a lot, and they didn't get half of the benefits, but caused a commotion. Henan is a land of four wars, but it is related to the safety of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Hubei, so how to defend Henan, who to defend is a big problem, and it is necessary to come up with a charter!
