Chapter 244: Declaring War (3) (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and various !! ）

If you want to talk about other people's opinions, Lao Jiang just doesn't care much, it's just a cliché, there are no new tricks, it's the same whether you listen to it or not. However, what Li Zongren just said about Lao Jiang could not ignore it, just as Li Bai and the others said, do not declare war on warlords everywhere and China. The central government is separated from Germany, and in the face of Japan, a powerful foreign enemy, the form of reunification that it has managed to achieve with great difficulty is likely to fall apart.

On the contrary, if you make your point of view clear, then anyone who contradicts yourself is a traitor, so that you can be regarded as fighting to the commanding heights of morality, and who dares not listen to the banner of national righteousness. At least the internal stability is temporary, neither Chen Feng nor Zhu Mao will jump out to wrestle with him at this time, and even publicly support himself.

Lao Jiang looked at everyone and finally made up his mind and said: "The reason why we did not declare war with the Japanese before, in addition to the above views, there is another important reason that our intentions to fight against Japan are not clear, and the most important thing is that we do not know what the Japanese are waging war for, whether they are just to cede land and pay reparations, or to completely occupy all of China, we do not know. Of course, this is not our problem, but Japan's strategic intentions have not been determined since the beginning of the war. But look at what the Japanese said in their declaration of war. You should be clear about what these words mean by "promoting the permanent independence of Manchukuo by force," "ensuring that vested interests are not infringed upon," and "seeking a broader living space for the people," that is, what the Japanese now want is to completely occupy the whole of China, they want to destroy our Chinese nation, and they want to establish their great Japanese empire on our Chinese soil. ”

Then Lao Jiang continued: "This is something that can never be promised, whoever agrees is a traitor and a sinner of the nation." Therefore, I have decided to declare war on Japan with immediate effect. At the same time, it is necessary to vigorously publicize the results of the 14 October air battle and boost the fighting spirit of the entire nation. ”

As soon as Lao Jiang's words fell, the entire conference room burst into warm applause. And for a long time.

After Lao Jiang finished speaking. He Yingqin also said: "Since the commission has decided to start a war with the Japanese, then we must carefully consider the relationship between the party-state and the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union and Germany, and at the same time communicate with Yan Xishan and Chen Feng in the war zone. ”

"Well, what Kei Yuki said makes a lot of sense. So be it. The world and you give it now. Zhu Mao of the Communist Party, Yan Xishan of the Second War Zone, Chen Feng of Chahar, He Jian of Hunan, Yang Sen and Liu Wenhui of Sichuan, Ma Bufang of Qinghai and others sent reports. Ask for their opinions on the war against Japan, and let them report immediately, and we will wait here. Look at the opinions of these local warlords, and see who is willing to be a traitor. Lao Jiang said coldly.

The meeting continued, and half an hour later Wang Shihe came in with a telegram, and then gently handed it to Lao Jiang.

Everyone stopped discussing and turned their eyes to Lao Jiang, they all wanted to know who sent it and what the content was.

After reading the telegram, Lao Jiang got up and said: "This is a telegram sent by Chen Feng, commander-in-chief of the 40th Group Army, who resolutely supports the decision of the Central Committee and agrees to declare war with Japan, and at the same time he is willing to donate weapons and equipment for 5 infantry divisions and 2 artillery divisions to the Central Army, and is also willing to provide 50 million US dollars of penicillin drugs to the party-state for free." ”

As soon as Lao Jiang's words fell, the entire conference room was completely fried, this Chen Feng was really wealthy, and as soon as he made a move, he had the weapons and equipment of five infantry divisions and the equipment of two artillery divisions. Now it costs 4.5 million oceans to equip an infantry division, not counting the soldiers' salaries, and 5 divisions are 22.5 million oceans. The armament of artillery is a good thing that money can't buy, and 2 artillery pieces cost 12 million oceans, or even more, to say the least. Coupled with the $50 million drug, it's hundreds of millions of dollars as soon as it is shot, amazing!

With this beginning of the 40th Army, everyone's originally tense nerves were finally eased. Isn't it just to get aid if it doesn't declare war, but with the current international situation, even if it doesn't declare war, China will not get arms support from Western countries. The United States will not talk about it, and if it does not support the Japanese, it will burn high incense. Britain and France are now focusing mainly on Europe, and Asian affairs are not mixed at all. Germany had already been warned by Japan and had severed military cooperation with the Nationalist Government, and only the Soviet Union continued to support China.

Now with these weapons and equipment and medicines supported by Chen Feng, Lao Jiang Yujie's mood has finally eased. Soon a telegram was also sent from the headquarters of the Jin Sui army, and Yan Xishan and the entire Jin Sui army also supported the declaration of war against Japan. Seeing that the telegram was signed by the General Headquarters of the Jin Sui Army, Lao Jiang finally smiled.

Yan Xishan, Lao Jiang, still admires this person, Zhilu Dao is a person who is good at franchise, if he uses the payment of the Second War Zone Governor's Department, Lao Jiang will definitely have doubts, because the Second War Zone Commander's Department does not implement Yan Xishan's will alone, and it does not represent Yan Xishan's true will. The Jin Sui Army is different, it is Yan Xishan's old army, and it is definitely only listening to Yan Xishan's dispatch alone, which can also reflect Yan Xishan's own will, and use the payment of the Jin Sui Army Headquarters to show that Yan Xishan sincerely supports the central government.

Then the Dian army and the Hunan army also sent telegrams in support of the declaration of war against Japan, and declared that they wanted money to give money and people to people. Yang Sen, Liu Wenhui, and Deng Xihou of the Sichuan army sent a telegram to Wuhan Xingying, and the Sichuan army fully supported the Nationalist government's declaration of war on Japan, and said that Sichuan could send another 300,000 troops, supply 2 million strong men, and supply tens of thousands of stone of grain.

With the support of all the big warlords in the country, Lao Chiang finally stood up and ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to immediately proceed with the issuance of a declaration of war against Japan, and at the same time to break off diplomatic relations with Japan.

On October 15, the Nationalist Government held a press conference announcing the declaration of war on the Nationalist Government, severing diplomatic relations with the Japanese Government, and at the same time declaring Manchukuo to be a puppet regime, which the Nationalist Government refused to recognize.

Then the Nationalist Government issued a telegram stating that Chen Feng, commander-in-chief of the 40th Group Army and chairman of Chahar Province, had made meritorious contributions in the battle and was promoted to second-class general of the Nationalist Government's army, and the Eighth Theater was established, with the defense areas including Chahar Province, Suiyuan Province, Rehe Province, and the northern part of Hebei Province, and Chen Feng was appointed commander-in-chief of the Eighth Theater. At the same time, the Fourth Northern Division and the Second Cavalry Army of the Nationalist Government were assigned to the Eighth Theater and accepted the command of Chen Feng.

The outside world was disturbed, but Chen Feng's mood was extremely excited, not to mention that he was promoted to army general and commander-in-chief of the Eighth Theater, but to say that Chen Feng was happy when he heard the system prompt just now.

"The host has overfulfilled the task of sneaking up on Wusongkou Harbor, and the reward system points will be 50 points, and the lottery will be rewarded 1 time!"

"The host successfully sank the Japanese aircraft carrier Fengxiang, and the prize draw chance is 1 time!"

"The host kills a high-ranking officer of the Japanese Navy for the first time, and rewards 1 chance to draw a lottery!"

"The host completes the hidden mission to declare war between China and Japan, and the reward system points are 200 points, and the lottery chance is rewarded 1 time!"

"The host is promoted to army general, and the lottery chance is rewarded 1 time!"

Coupled with the rewards in September and October and the rewards of the 918 National Day of Shame, Chen Feng got 8 lottery chances and 250 system points this time, which really made a lot of money.

After a lot of hard work, Chen Feng finally used up all 8 lottery opportunities, and the harvest was good, 3 base construction orders, 2 ordnance construction orders, one personal skill, one personal strengthening, and one personal equipment.

The three base construction orders are the construction order for small hydropower plants, the construction order for large steel plants, and the construction order for small glass factories. Small hydropower stations are not of much use to Chen Feng now, anyway, one careful thermal power station in Guisui and Baotou is enough, only important departments can use electricity in this era, and ordinary people use kerosene for lighting, and regardless of the size of the city, light control must be implemented at night to prevent air raids, although the possibility of aircraft taking off at night in this era is not large.

Some time ago, the medium-sized steel plant was put into operation, with a monthly output of 350,000 tons of steel, and with the small steel plant on Daqingshan, the monthly output of the steel plant under the 40th Group Army has reached 450,000 tons, although it is not as good as the monthly output of 650,000 tons of steel in Japan, but it is not much the same.

In spite of this, the current steel output of the 40th Group Army is still only enough for the front, and every day the 18 arsenals under the jurisdiction of the Group Army consume tens of thousands of tons of high-quality steel.

It can be said that the construction of this large-scale steel plant was given at the right time, with an annual output of 50 million tons of high-quality steel, and also with laboratories and research institutes. The annual output of 50 million tons of high-quality steel is seven times higher than Japan's annual output of 7 million tons.

With enough steel, Chen Feng's various plans can finally be implemented, especially the mechanization plan for the troops. Now the tank production base of the 40th Group Army has been built, and the automobile production base has already started, and the first ten-wheel truck rolled off the assembly line a week ago, which made Chen Feng really happy.

Although there is only one production line, the monthly output still reaches 300 vehicles, and although 300 vehicles are just a transport group, with this production line, the mechanization process of the 40th Group Army has taken a big step forward.

The third construction order is the glass factory construction order, and now there is no glass production plant in the entire Saibei area, and the windows of ordinary people are still made of hemp paper, and even the government departments are the same. In addition, schools around the country are now vigorously building, no glass is not good, although Chen Feng has asked Henry to order a production line from the United States for himself, but when this production line is built and put into production, I am afraid it will not work in half a year. Now with this construction order, this problem can be solved. (To be continued......)
