"Are these the armies of the Chinese..."

On both sides of the road, several North Koreans with bamboo baskets on their backs couldn't help but speak as they looked at the Wehrmacht marching on the main road. Two of the younger North Koreans even showed a more eager gaze in their eyes.

North Korea was once the last vassal state of China. Until the end of the First Sino-Japanese War, China was the suzerainty of Korea. This is true even today, in 1919, more than 20 years later.

Even if the former children have grown up now, even if the former youth is now old, this is still an indisputable fact in their hearts...

Of course, the reason for this is also related to Japan's endless oppression of Korea.

After all, for the Japanese, Korea is nothing more than their colony, and the Koreans are just second-class citizens of this land, and they are 'slaves to the country' who can be bullied by them...

And what about China? Although it was once the suzerainty of Korea, everyone knows that China is only a suzerain, and what it wants is only nominal submission. In fact, it doesn't matter what you do in private, and China doesn't have much pressure on North Korea. Even in the past years, Koreans did not like China very much, but after comparing with Japan, these Koreans have suddenly realized a truth, that is, the Chinese hate it and are not as bad as the Japanese...

Ahem, how to say it, life is full of contrasts.

In the past, North Koreans didn't like China, because no one liked to have someone sitting on top of their head, pulling this and that. But when there was a comparison, I found that the one sitting on my head was not as good as the original one. Naturally, these people will 'wake up'...

In fact, along the way, Gao Wenshan's troops can be said to be unimpeded along the way. On the one hand, it is because most of the Japanese forces are concentrated on the front line, and there is not much strength in the hinterland―――――― more precisely, it is not expected that the originally impregnable defense line will actually be torn open, let Chinese in, and give them a long drive, even if there are some mistakes along the way. There is no way to interfere with the Chinese at all.

However, another reason is that many Koreans suddenly appeared and were willing to lead the way for the 17th Army. In the eyes of these North Koreans. Gao Wenshan's troops came to save them, to save them from the iron heel of the Japanese...

Because of this, the North Koreans along the route were willing to help the Wehrmacht.

The whole of Korea is also preaching that the original suzerainty has sent troops. Rumors of an intention to free them from Japanese slavery...

While passing through many villages. The Seventeenth Army even often encountered scenes of Koreans on both sides of the road welcoming them. And at this time, those Wehrmacht troops who have been walking all day, no matter how tired they are, will hold their chests up and show their most heroic and powerful side to those North Koreans...

For even the soldiers themselves were liberators, not conquerors. In the same way, the fact that North Korea is the last subject state of China is well known to them. But that's exactly what it is. In their view, the liberation of Korea was precisely the first step towards China's great rejuvenation. It is also a symbol of regaining the glory of the empire...

And with these leading party leading the way, the speed of the march of the Wehrmacht has also been greatly accelerated.

This is not surprising, no matter how capable the Special Affairs Bureau is, in just a few years, it is impossible to map the mountains and rivers of North Korea clearly, let alone the Special Affairs Bureau, even the Japanese do not have such ability. There must have been many shortcuts in Korea that only the Koreans themselves knew, and with these shortcuts, the Seventeenth Army and its follow-up troops could march at a faster pace than before.

Merely...

"If these North Koreans know that the purpose of our visit this time is not actually to liberate North Korea, but only to obtain a more advantageous position in the next negotiations, I don't know what the expressions of these North Koreans will be..."

Thinking so, sitting on the off-road vehicle and looking back at the North Koreans who were comparing with the staff officer holding the map and explaining the terrain of this area in detail, sitting on the off-road vehicle, Gao Wenshan couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

――――――――――――――――――――

It is definitely impossible for the ordinary soldiers below to know the truth, even the vast majority of officers in the army may not know.

Only a few people in the upper echelons of the armed forces, including Gao Wenshan, knew that the real intention of this strategy was to force the Japanese to hold peace talks and, by the way, occupy a favorable position during the peace talks.

But these Gao Wenshan will definitely not say it, because looking at the faces of those young people who are full of vitality and want to revive the whole country, Gao Wenshan is really unwilling to hit their morale...

In addition, he still needs these North Koreans at the moment.

Although these North Koreans don't have much strength, it has to be mentioned that they do know a lot of things, and these are exactly what Gao Wenshan needs.

On the other hand, although he is in his 30s, Gao Wenshan still belongs to the category called young in the army, and he also has the idea of regaining China's former glory in his heart. And as a subject of the last subject country, Gao Wenshan didn't want to see the disappointed expressions on the faces of these Koreans―――――― of course, if it was Yan Shao, perhaps...

Hmm, it's hard to say...

If it was in the future life, Yan Shao would definitely not be very pleasing to those Goryeo Smecta, after all, the whole universe would be theirs. How to say it, two Smectac, one is less worry-free than the other, and the other is more annoying than the other. From a certain point of view, Yan Shao's good impression of Japan is stronger than that of Smecta, because Japan is hated, but Smecta is annoying...

But in this era, after all, the Koreans are not as annoying as the later generations, so how to face these Smectacs, even Yan Shao does not have an exact charter...

But one thing is certain, that is, Yan Shao will never annex North Korea, and in the end. North Korea will play a more important role in Yan Shao's strategy. At the same time, it is also a role in containing Japan in the future―――――― provided that Yan Shao's plan can succeed. And North Korea can also show that Xiàn is slightly better...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Just when Gao Wenshan was thinking this, a car suddenly accelerated over.

Although there were a lot of people along the way, it was obvious that there must be something urgent, so they avoided it one after another, so that the car could come to the car in Gaowen Mountain at the fastest speed.

On the other hand, after noticing this, Gao Wenshan's car also slowly stopped.

Soon. The car stopped next to Gao Wenshan's car, and then the officer sitting on it jumped out of the car and saluted Gao Wenshan. Soon it will be on the Gawain Mountain Road.

"Commander, this is a telegram that has just come back from China, and the president has sent you a telegram to congratulate you after learning the news from Pukou..."

Nodding. Gao Wenshan took the telegram. At the same time, some of the surrounding soldiers also showed joy on their faces after hearing the officer's words.

As once said, the Wehrmacht is almost an army created by Yan Shao, and he also has an unimaginable influence on this army. The officers and men in the army agreed with Yan Shao's idea of rejuvenation, and at the same time, they respected and admired him very much because of the changes in the country.

Therefore, after hearing the officer's words, those around him were naturally very happy.

On the other hand, just when everyone else is beaming. The officer continued. "In addition to this, there is another news coming from the country. Lady Caterina also appears to be pregnant. Minister Feng, who is now in Shenyang, has sent a telegram hoping that we will be able to capture Pyongyang as soon as possible, so as to congratulate this news..."

"Is Mrs. Caterina also pregnant..."Unlike Duan Qirui, who was afraid of this and that, Gao Wenshan's idea was always very simple, so he suddenly showed joy after hearing the news. That's really good news..."

Saying this, Gao Wenshan had already said to his adjutant. "Spread this news to the whole army, let the brothers speed up, let's take Pyongyang as soon as Minister Feng said, and by the way, block those little devils in the northwest, as a congratulatory gift to the president, by the way, end this war as soon as possible, and give the president a double happiness..." By the way, how many kilometers are we from Pyongyang now? ”

"According to the guide's report, there are only thirteen kilometers left, and if we are fast enough, we can get there before dark..."

Hearing the adjutant's words, Gao Wenshan bowed slightly. "Okay, then you can go down, remember, let the brothers speed up, let's try to capture Pyongyang within three days..." According to the information provided by the Special Affairs Bureau, there are not many defenders in Pyongyang at all, which is one of the reasons why Gao Wenshan will be so confident.

"Yes!" Hearing Gao Wenshan's words, the adjutant also nodded happily.

After saluting Gao Wenshan, the adjutant quickly jumped out of the car and passed the news on to the whole army.

It didn't take long for the entire unit to boil, and almost every soldier and officer cheered. These people, like Gao Wenshan, don't have so many thoughts about the country and the people, they just know that the people they respect the most have met happy events, and all they do is to be happy for the people they respect the most, and ......... Blessing...

The thinking of people in this era is still a little old-fashioned, and for the vast majority of people, a family must always have a man. Yan Shao's first child was a daughter, and some people had already felt sorry for it, but now that they have a child again, others are naturally happy...

What was the scene of more than 100,000 people cheering together? I'm afraid few people have seen it, but now those North Koreans have seen it.

Mountains and tsunamis...

There were even soldiers who violated the ban and shot directly into the sky, while the officers and gendarmes who were supposed to run to reprimand were just standing aside and cheering with a smile on their faces...

I don't know why, looking at this scene, the North Koreans who were accompanying them suddenly felt a little scared. On the other hand, in this scene where everyone is cheering, these indifferent people are inevitably a little too conspicuous, so in the end, there is no way, they have to cheer together, but...

From beginning to end, from beginning to end, it is not clear to them why these Chinese are so happy ...

Could it be that they have encountered something happy?

――――――――――――――――――――

While the entire Wehrmacht was cheering, on both sides of the road, some Japanese looked at the sight and shuddered...

"Laugh, continue to laugh..." The Japanese, who had received the news and knew very well what these Chinese were happy about, said coldly in their hearts. It won't be long before you stop laughing..."

Saying this in his heart, the person in the lead had already said to his subordinates beside him. "Send a telegram to the headquarters, and say that the fish have entered the net, and the next step is to start the operation..."

"Yes!" Saying this, the subordinate of the leading person nodded, and quickly gave the order. After he sent the telegram according to the instructions of the leader man, he quickly returned to the man's side and glanced at the Chinese below with a slight mockery.

"These Chinese are really a little carried away, they actually want to take Pyongyang as a gift, but they probably don't know, they have fallen into the net, and then we just need to close the net, and the news that Yan Shao can get, there is only bad news..."

Hearing his subordinates say this, the Japanese man in the lead nodded in agreement, and then continued. "But if it weren't for their complacency, we wouldn't have been so successful..."

On the hillside, a group of Japanese, dressed as Korean villagers, sneered at the Wehrmacht below, who were still cheering, and in their eyes, these people under the mountain had not been able to jump for long.

On the other hand, after getting the telegram, Taro Utsunomiya, who had been sitting in the conference room and hadn't moved for a long time, suddenly collapsed from his chair at this time.

"Pass the order, order the nearby troops, you can close the net!"

The officer, who had been waiting for a long time, was also very excited after hearing this order. "Yes!" With that, he turned around and left the room, conveying this order from Utsunomiya Taro.

At the same time, looking at the map behind him, Utsunomiya Taro also sneered. "Yan Shao, Yan Shao, let me use this as a congratulatory gift to you..."

With the order of Utsunomiya Taro, the Korean Front, which had been preparing for a long time, also began to move...

Just as the Chinese are convinced that Asia is the Asia of the Chinese, the Japanese also deeply believe that Japan should be the master of Asia...

And this war is a sentinel between the two masters for Asia

It's just that China can afford to lose, no matter how many times it loses, and Japan

But I can't lose a few times, and this is the biggest difference between China and Japan (to be continued......
