Chapter 502: There is a famine in Henan

Kong Xiangxi looked for Qin Wei, and when Qin Wei left Kong Yuan, Kong Xiangxi sent him out with a smile.

This news has attracted the attention of many people, especially after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveyed to Chiang Kai-shek the dissatisfaction of the US Government with the principals of China's national defense and finance departments.

……

"Before the national disaster, infighting starts first! This is the person you want me to meet? ”

Chongqing.

Bai Zhengxi's "White Mansion", on the lawn outside the courtyard, a middle-aged man with a big face, short hair, small eyes, and ears that seemed a little provocative began to criticize Li Zongren and Bai Zhengxi unceremoniously:

"I don't know what it means to focus on the big picture! Even if he has the ability, he is a chaotic minister at best. I don't bother to pay attention to this kind of person. ”

"Ji Kuan, you haven't even seen anyone, so arbitrary? Shouldn't he be angry with him Jiang Zhongzheng, and it ended up on Qin Xiaozi's head, right? Bai Zhenxi said with a smile. If someone else criticized him like this, no matter whether it was right or wrong, even if it was Lao Jiang's face, he would dare to lift the table, but he didn't have the slightest arrogance towards this person.

"That's right." Li Zongren also followed with a smile and said, "Although I haven't met Qin Wei many times, I also know that this person is not the kind of villain who cares about the overall situation. This time he and Kong Xiangxi came together, there must be a reason. ”

"Then tell me why." Ji Kuan, that is, Huang Shaohong, who is the second in the top three of the Gui family, still has a disdainful expression. As if he didn't believe the words of these two old partners at all.

"I think nine times out of ten it's because of Song Ziwen." Bai Zhenxi smiled: "I know a little bit about that kid's plan...... The loan amount was deliberately large, just because they did not want the Americans to agree. Because if the United States agrees to give us a loan now, then when the situation in the Philippines is critical, it will be difficult for us not to come forward. Maybe a few more hard fights. That kid still values the lives of our own people, so he won't shed blood and sacrifice for the Americans, not to mention that his strategic goal has always been to expel Britain and the United States and other countries from Southeast Asia. If we help the Americans. So that they can continue to gain a foothold in the Philippines, how can this strategy be carried out? ”

"Expelling the Great Powers from Southeast Asia?" Huang Shaohong was stunned, "Why didn't I know anything about such a big matter?" ”

"At present, there are less than ten people who know this plan." Bai Zhenxi tilted his chin slightly, and stretched out two index fingers to form a "ten" character, "Before, we all thought that kid was whimsical. But I didn't expect that now French Indochina will really fall into our hands. Therefore, not only me, but Jiang Zhongzheng, He Jingzhi, and Chen Cixiu are also eager to try now. After all, next to the couch. Shall others be allowed to sleep soundly? Anglo-American, French, Japanese, how many of these countries are there to mess with? And how many can be fed? Today they are forced to retreat under the pressure of the Japanese, if we don't take the opportunity to get these places, with those small countries, can we stop them? And wait for them to come back. Sooner or later, we will have to make trouble at our borders like before. ”

"......" Huang Shaohong paused. As the most outstanding political talent in the Gui family. Of course, he knew what Britain and France were like. British colonies in Burma and Tibet bordering China. There is no shortage of incidents; The French thought about using Vietnam as a springboard to invade Guangxi decades ago, and although they were beaten back by the Qing government, they did not suffer much loss, so they were also uneasy in these years. He definitely didn't have any good feelings for these two countries, but he didn't expect that someone in the country would dare to take the initiative to calculate these two powers. Of course, Britain and France are now basically out of the eyes of their people. But even so, those who dare to take the initiative to make these plans are bold enough.

"Qin Wei doesn't want to send troops when Japan and the United States are at war, so when does he want to choose?" Li Zongren asked.

"The Japanese took the French ...... Phew, it's not. It is to send troops after all regions in Southeast Asia except Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Bai Zhenxi said.

"He really believes in the Japanese skills." Huang Shaohong snorted lightly, "The dead camel is bigger than the horse." The Japanese only have 200,000 troops, so how easy is it to conquer such a large piece of land? Moreover, they were slow to move, giving the Americans, the Dutch, and the British a lot of time to deploy their troops. Even I, who is far away in Zhejiang, knew that the British had moved tens of thousands of troops from India into Burma...... When will the Japanese take all these places? ”

"Within three months." Bai Zhenxi said lightly.

"Jokes." Huang Shaohong shouted, "Bai Jiansheng, are you deceiving me that I don't understand the military? If you want to take the whole of Southeast Asia in three months, I don't believe it unless all the Japanese go to war smoking big cigarettes. ”

"I don't believe it either." Li Zongren also said, "200,000 people, if you want to go through the whole of Southeast Asia in three months, it's almost the same, and you can beat it down...... It's simply delusional. ”

"Hehe," Bai Zhengxi smiled, "Then think about it, why would the Japanese keep acting so slowly and not sending troops for Lu?" Do you have to give Britain, the United States and the Netherlands so much time to prepare? ”

"It's really puzzling. However, it is not rumored that the real target of the Japanese is not Southeast Asia, but our ...... Is everything you do just a maze? Li Zongren was a little embarrassed. Because he knew that the speculation he said was not tenable at all. If the Japanese are really just a maze and want to quickly solve China by surprise attack, then they will have enough to eat and go to the trouble of the Yankees? Moreover, Japan is poor in domestic resources, and it does not have access to vital oil and rubber in China and Siberia, and if it does not rush to conquer Southeast Asia and waste time on China, it will simply seek death.

"Hehe," Bai Zhengxi chuckled twice, mocking this old friend, "The Japanese did this, according to our analysis, first, they wanted the Americans and the British to concentrate more forces in the Philippines and Burma respectively, so that they could be wiped out in one go, and second, their target was not just Southeast Asia. ”

"Not just Southeast Asia?" Li Zongren and Huang Shaohong glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of shock in their respective eyes, especially Li Zongren, after thinking about it for a while, they couldn't help but ask Bai Zhenxi: "Do they still want to fight India?" ”

"Ha Lu Ha, Delin is Delin!" Bai Zhenxi let out a long laugh. "That's right, it's India. But it's not just India. ”

"Australiaβ€”"

Li Zongren and Huang Shaohong gasped at the same time. India corresponds to Burma, which is the United Kingdom; In addition to the British army in Burma, the strongest in Southeast Asia is only the US military in the Philippines, but who will be behind the Yankees? Australia, naturally!

"What a big appetite. They're not too tired of it? Huang Shaohong shook his head again and again, his face full of disbelief: "200,000 troops, just want to win so much territory?" Do they think they are heavenly soldiers, or can they ask the gods to come up? ”

"Strategy is good." Li Zongren's expression was solemn, "India is the jewel in the crown of the British Queen. It was extremely important to Britain and was now the most important logistics base for Britain to be able to fight Germany. Attacking India can not only advance the front line to South Asia, but also fundamentally attack Britain's national strength, and it is also tantamount to supporting Germany, a European ally, in disguise. And Australia...... Once the American forces in the Philippines are defeated. This will inevitably become the new front line of the Americans' counterattack. After conquering the Philippines, they immediately attacked it non-stop. It can be that the Americans simply did not have time to organize a counteroffensive. Although the initial investment is large, it can be extremely beneficial for future strategies. The most important thing is that almost all of the Americans' strength in Southeast Asia is concentrated in the Philippines, and once the war is defeated, with the situation that they have almost no foundation in Australia, plus Australia has such a small population and troops. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop the Japanese offensive at all, so ......"

"Australia is a member of the British Commonwealth, and the largest outside of Canada, and has strong support for British resistance to Germany. So. If the Japanese take, no, even just attack Australia, then the British resistance in Europe will be further reduced. Huang Shaohong then said.

"In the same vein." Li Zongren let out a long sigh again, "This is in line with the strategy of sneaking up on the United States. Only by striking at the United States' maritime strength and cutting off its access to the Pacific Ocean for troops and supplies will the Japanese be able to achieve these goals more smoothly. …… This must be Ishihara Waner, and it must be Ishihara Waner's plan. This person must be my China's greatest enemy in the future. ”

"But how did he accomplish such a huge plan with 200,000 people?" Huang Shaohong asked, "With such a large territory, what is 200,000 people enough for?" ”

"It's not just 200,000." Bai Zhenxi shook his head and sighed, "You guys...... I was deceived by these Japanese devils. ”

"What do you mean?" Li and Huang were shocked again, "The Japanese secretly increased their troops?" ”

"Where did they get people from?" Huang Shaohong hurriedly said, "It's impossible to recruit soldiers in China, right?" We can't hide it, but we don't have any information about it. ”

"How many people are there in their Southern Army now?" Li Zongren also asked.

"Not much, only 600,000! That's 600,000 people! Bai Zhenxi stretched out six fingers: "More than 300,000 of them are all from the former Soviet Red Army from Siberia!" He is currently being trained in Taiwan to adapt to the southern climate. Wait until these people are trained, hehe......"

"Impossible." Huang Shaohong shook his head again and again, "300,000 Soviet rebels? Then how many more people can they come up with to defend the Urals? The Soviet Red Army was in the millions! ”

"My brother Ji Kuan, the Japanese think the Germans think so much about the Germans, do you think the Germans will not think about them?" Bai Zhengxi smiled bitterly, "How could Stalin dare to send troops to recover Siberia at this time?" ”

"The Germans are finally going to send troops to the Soviet Union?"

"It's coming."

……

"Report, Minister Huang, the Military Commission is urgently called."

The three giants of the Gui family sighed again and again in the "White Mansion" that there was chaos in this world, but the three of them all had some secret joy in their hearts...... Because the battlefield of China seems to be outside the two wars that are destined to happen. That's a good thing. Although such a result always gives them a feeling of being despised by the powers. However, they did not sigh for long, and soon, someone came to Huang Shaohong, the newly appointed food minister.

"What's the matter?" Huang Shaohong went to answer the phone, and soon walked out of the living room with a gloomy expression. Seeing his appearance, Li Bai and the others hurriedly asked.

"There is a famine in Henan." (To be continued......)
