Chapter 619: Qin Wei loses power
The loss of the Ryukyus was a major strategic defeat for Japan, and the entire territory of the mainland was exposed to the eyes of the Chinese Air Force, which made the whole of Japan aware of the great danger, especially the frequent bombing of Japan by the Chinese Air Force after that, which made everyone from Hirohito to every Japanese citizen feel a feeling called "despair...... What's the use of winning elsewhere? If the fundamental land cannot be saved, these victories can only become duckweed without roots. And this situation made Ishihara, a supposedly clever guy, have no choice but to station more air forces in Taiwan and Kyushu Island, in order to be able to cut off the air transport routes of the Chinese while protecting his own airspace and sea transport lines.
However, while the four Japanese islands were nervously guarding against the Chinese air force, Vladivostok, which was almost unprepared, was bombed again, and immediately afterward, the Japanese army in the Far East was fiercely attacked by the Chinese Communists. This is not Qin Wei's plan, but from Lao Jiang's command. Lao Chiang, who has always been full of vigilance against the CCP, felt that the CCP's development in the Northeast was too fast, and he was afraid that before he recovered all the lost territory, the entire Northeast would fall into the hands of the CCP, so he thought of such a way to block the CCP and create contradictions between the CCP and the Soviet Union at the same time. After all, although the current Soviet Union is a phoenix that has fallen to the shelf, it is difficult for anyone to say what will happen in the future. Moreover, no matter whether it is the victory of the Allies or the Axis powers, another Soviet Union or Russia will definitely appear, and this new Russian regime will definitely have a dispute with the CCP over the ownership of the Far East, which will be conducive to the recapture of Northeast China by the Nationalist Army in the future. Again. Allowing the CCP to attack the north can also disperse the CCP's forces, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone. And for the sake of this plan. Lao Chiang even prepared a lot of benefits, that is, he hoped to make the CCP act according to his command. But he didn't expect that Mao Zedong didn't talk nonsense to him at all, and he started not long after receiving the order, while the Japanese army was caught off guard and lost in successive battles. As a result, half a year later. A large area from Komsomolsk in the north to Vladivostok in the south is in the hands of the CCP. The Japanese army in the Far East was due to a lack of support, as well as various supplies. There was no way to launch a counterattack, so in the end they could only retreat in Vladivostok City and wait for the arrival of the last time.
The homeland was threatened, the Far East was attacked, and the Japanese lost sight of one or the other. I finally regretted my big stomach. But at this time, they were no longer able to make military contact with Nishio Shouzo in Siberia. After a fierce quarrel, they agreed to Ishihara and Nishio Toshizo's idea of abandoning Siberia and ceding a large area of their bloody territory to the Germans in exchange for German support, especially in high-performance fighters. And it is precisely because of this that a few months after the Chinese airborne forces captured the Ryukyus in a surprise attack, the Japanese finally ensured the safety of their own territorial airspace. However, at this time, the attention of the whole world was attracted by the Germans...... Because of the fear of the British's radio proximity anti-aircraft guns. Hitler gave up his plan to use his air force to make a direct forced landing in Britain, and because he was temporarily unable to resist the powerful forces of Britain and the United States at sea. Like the heads of state of Britain and the United States, he has set his sights on North Africa for the time being. Through the reinforcement of troops, Rommel added dozens of armored divisions under him, and the "Desert Fox" began to sharpen its knives. In the face of this situation, Eisenhower did not show weakness, he tried his best to suppress the contradictions between British and American officers, with Montgomery as the front-line commander, and transferred Bradley, Patton and others, ready to give Rommel a head-on blow.
Both sides are giving it their all.
Thus, by mid-1947, the Axis and the Allies were engaged in an unprecedented general battle in North Africa with more than 5,000 tanks and armoured vehicles, but this time the Germans suffered a somewhat miserable defeat...... Like the North African campaign, which was supposed to take place a few years earlier, Montgomery "lied" to Rommel. The British general successfully deceived Rommel by putting on a posture of no intention of attacking, so that Rommel thought that the Allies would not take the initiative to attack in a short time, and he was able to return to Germany for a vacation. As a result, just a few days after his return to Germany, Montgomery's offensive began, and the Allied forces, led by Patton, were almost invincible, and it did not take long to break through the German defenses. And by the time Rommel hurried back from Germany, the German army had been beaten into a mess, and Rommel tried his best to reverse the situation, so he could only shrink his troops to defend, and at this time, the German army had lost most of Libya, which could be said to be a certain defeat. Seeing this, Rommel led the remnants back to Egypt despite Hitler's orders to hold on. As a result, the Allies won the North African campaign.
In this battle, Montgomery's prestige was greatly enhanced, and Eisenhower, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, who directly commanded the formulation of this operational plan, became the "hope of the Western world" and completely sealed his own position in the Allied forces. At the same time, many people also began to dig into the details of this late-blooming general, and as a result, it was soon discovered that Eisenhower had already been recommended by an Eastern general when he was still unknown, and that Eastern general was also famous, because this man had defeated the Japanese many times...... It is important to know that compared with the Germans who were close at hand, the Japanese were not slightly lower in the hearts of the British and American people. In just a few years, the small island nation first defeated China and the Soviet Union, then attacked the United States, seized Southeast Asia, marched into India, and even miraculously sent a force of more than 100,000 people to Africa, helped the Germans take Egypt, captured the Suez Canal, and once drove their current pride, the great General Montgomery to the Middle East...... But such a group of tough guys have repeatedly been defeated by Qin Wei...... In this way, if the Chinese army is led by Qin Weilai, will the war situation in Asia also take a greater turn like the war situation in Europe? Qin Wei may be Asia's "Eisenhower......
Europeans are more straightforward and do what they want. Although the heads of Britain and the United States also knew that Qin Wei was not a good person, it would be a good thing for the West if they could end the war in the East earlier, at least they would not have to face Chinese growing appetite at that time, and they would not always have to be "blackmailed" by Chinese seize the opportunity...... Therefore, through diplomatic channels, the British and American governments put forward their own demands to Lao Chiang.
Qin Wei is very "smart", and when he learned that the British and American governments were doing this, he would definitely have to sit in front of Lao Jiang. So he didn't wait for Lao Jiang to react, and as soon as he got the news, he took the initiative to submit his resignation to Lao Jiang. And when he came like this, Lao Jiang naturally didn't have a good idea to say anything, and he simply threw Qin Wei back to Burma again and commanded the expeditionary force. However, Lao Jiang has always been ruthless, so naturally it is impossible to just forget it, after throwing Qin Wei back to Burma, he began to weaken Qin Wei's forces, and at the same time replaced the expeditionary force with his own descendants as much as possible. In this way, Sun Liren's department, which had always been tacitly regarded as Qin Wei's descendant, was transferred back to China, and the Guan Lin Expeditionary Department, which had been guarding Yunnan for a long time, gradually replaced other units in the expeditionary force and became its main force. After that, Lao Jiang frequently inserted people in the headquarters of the expeditionary force, trying to completely empty Qin Wei.
The contradictions in China soon attracted the attention of the international community, and although Britain and the United States gloated a little over what happened to Qin Wei, they also expressed dissatisfaction with Chiang's behavior, believing that Chiang was destroying the good situation against fascism by doing so at this time; The Japanese side was elated. Shouichi Terauchi, who had already been driven back to Manila by Qin Wei, even planned to take this opportunity to organize a counteroffensive and unite with the Sakagaki Seishiro Division in Calcutta, to attack back and forth and recapture Burma and other places. However, this plan was finally suppressed by Ishihara. Because Ishihara knew that after a long war, Japan must now take a certain amount of rest, and if it forcibly organizes a large-scale campaign, even if it wins the battle in the end, it will eventually make the situation even more unfavorable for Japan.
In this way, on the European side, because Britain, the United States and Germany had just experienced a major war, they needed to rest; In Asia, Japan is also temporarily unable to organize an offensive, and China has some signs of infighting, which has quieted down the world again.
In such an environment, Qin Wei left Myanmar again and ran back to the White Mansion to start a "vacation". Although Lao Jiang knew that Qin Wei was afraid of being unsafe in Myanmar and went to Chongqing to seek his "asylum", he had no choice. No matter what, it is impossible for him to do anything to Qin Wei in Chongqing, if that is the case, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the world. Moreover, the power behind Qin Wei has always made him very jealous, and he doesn't dare to do anything to Qin Wei. But he really didn't want to see Qin Wei, a person who was a serious threat to him, so he simply sent troops to "surround" Qin Wei in the name of protection...... does not restrict freedom, but Qin Wei's every move falls under his nose.
Lao Jiang's approach made many people feel worthless for Qin Wei, but Qin Wei himself didn't seem to care at all, and he didn't have the consciousness of being "semi-house arrested" at all...... For example, if you go to the Three Gorges or so on, you can collect some antique calligraphy and paintings. Even the idea of this goods hit Lao Jiang and the others, and they took away a lot of good things from the homes of Lao Jiang and the others, and although Lao Jiang was depressed, he couldn't do anything to him for these little things, so he could only let Qin Wei "take it by force" in his own home. Not only that, occasionally, Lao Jiang was also "forced" by Qin Wei to give orders to the Central Commanders and Military Commanders commanded by the Chen brothers, Kang Ze and others, and help Qin Wei go to the occupied area to get good things, while the Chen brothers and Kang Ze were depressed, and in the face of Lao Jiang's order, they could only pinch their noses and admit it. In other words, Qin, who was deprived of almost all power, became a tyrant in Chongqing, and this situation lasted until one day...... That day, when Qin Wei went out to eat alone, he met a woman who looked very much like "Fan Ye"! (To be continued......)
