On the last day of negotiations on Hong Kong, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was forced to make concessions, saying in talks with Huang Ke that he would agree to return China's main island of Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories after the war, but on the condition that Chinese troops withdraw from Burma after the war.

Huang Ke praised Churchill as a practitioner of democracy and freedom, and said, "I believe that with our joint efforts, the world will get better and better." ”

As soon as this news came out, there were mixed reviews, and among the Chinese people, there were many people who praised Huang Kenai as a hero at that time, playing between the United States and England and the palm of the hand, and there were countless beautiful words.

However, some people reprimanded him for being short-sighted, and openly published critical articles in newspapers and magazines, saying that Huang Ke exchanged a watermelon for a sesame seed with the British, which was really stupid, and some people even called it the second Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After listening to various voices, Huang Ke only smiled slightly: "Hong Kong is China's inherent territory, but Myanmar is not. After the war, the awakening of nationalism will usher in a new trend of thought, and the affairs of the Burmese people will be decided by the Burmese people. ”

Discussions and voices in society will not affect the decisions of the central government.

On the same day, Huang Ke signed a memorandum of understanding with Churchill, and agreed that a week later, after the British Parliament passed it, he would sign a formal and legally binding joint declaration with China.

On the day of the conclusion of the Shanghai Conference, Huang Ke, in the name of the Central Executive Committee and the Military Commission, issued an order for Zhang Fakui to lead his troops to immediately launch an attack on Hong Kong from Bao'an.

After Zhang Fakui received the order, he immediately announced the start of the attack.

At this time, dozens of fighters and dive bombers of the 17th Brigade of the Chinese Air Force stationed at Shenzhen Airport took off and began bombing Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, Kowloon Tong Barracks, and Victoria Harbour.

The bombing basically wiped out the Japanese air power in Hong Kong, and the Japanese lost air supremacy at the beginning of the war.

The Japanese garrison in Hong Kong numbered about 10,000 men, as well as more than 20 warplanes and some naval warships. Although the number of Japanese soldiers was small, relying on Hong Kong's rich and convenient transportation conditions and abundant material supplies, this group of Japanese troops clamored for a decisive battle with the Chinese army, and some radical Japanese media even openly shouted that "Hong Kong is the graveyard of enemy soldiers" and "will sink together with Hong Kong."

In this regard, the Nanjing side instructed that Hong Kong should be recovered as soon as possible and as soon as possible, and that Hong Kong and its residents should be preserved as best and as best as possible.

After Zhang Fakui received this seemingly contradictory order, he didn't know how to start for a while.

Hong Kong is Chinese territory and a worldwide trading port, and its strategic economic position is self-evident, not to mention that the Hong Kong residents supported the motherland's war of resistance during the war, so it must not be like he attacked the Japanese army in Vietnam.

At the end of the day, the Japanese were vicious, they could burn, kill, loot and kidnap the whole of Hong Kong and its inhabitants in their chariots, but the Chinese army couldn't.

The attitude of the central authorities is very clear, and it guarantees to the greatest extent, and Zhang Fakui's understanding of this is that recovery is still the first priority.

On the same day, under the powerful land and air offensive launched by the Chinese Defense Forces, the Japanese defense line in the Kowloon Mountains collapsed in an instant. On the same day, the Defence officers and men regained Kowloon and the New Territories.

The next day, the Air Force began bombing the Japanese batteries on the main island of Hong Kong, the artillery positions at Ho Man Tin Hill, communications facilities, and power supply systems.

The Wehrmacht attacked the main island of Hong Kong with all its might, and the Japanese defenders, knowing that there was no chance of victory, were determined to break the whole army. The radical Japanese generals simply put forward the policy of "leaving the land but not the people", which was to kidnap the entire Hong Kong people on their chariots, so that the Wehrmacht was afraid to attack.

On that day, the Japanese army drove a large number of Hong Kong citizens to the front line, on the one hand as laborers to build fortifications for them, and on the other hand, deliberately placed them in some military areas as hostages.

In this situation, it was natural that the onslaught could not continue, and as a result, the air force and artillery attacks on Hong Kong had been reduced.

However, not sending air force and artillery is not the same as being helpless. That night, Zhang Fakui personally selected more than 300 officers and men to form a death squad to raid Hong Kong Island in the middle of the night, and after touching the stronghold of the Japanese army, he contacted the volunteers on Hong Kong Island and began to launch a general attack on Hong Kong Island.

The resistance of the Japanese army was fierce, but it was also futile. After all, in the face of the general environment, they had no chance of victory, and on the fourth day, the Wehrmacht captured Stanley Battery, the last stronghold of the Japanese army, and the organized resistance of the Japanese army was declared a failure.

However, it is a pity that the high-ranking Japanese officers and Japanese officials in Hong Kong still fled by boat overnight, leaving only a group of middle- and lower-ranking officers and soldiers who were deceived to put up the so-called desperate resistance.

After about two days of cleaning, the Chinese National Defense Forces announced the recovery of Hong Kong.

After sweeping away the remnants of the enemy, the Wehrmacht also organized a grand ceremony to enter the city, which was welcomed by the citizens of Hong Kong. Huang Ke said with a smile that this heavy rain washed away the shame of a hundred years.

……

After the Shanghai Conference, many countries issued the Shanghai Declaration of "Immediate and Unconditional Surrender" against Germany and Japan, but Germany turned a deaf ear, and Japan replied in the daily news the next day, "Bloody battle to the end, 100 million jade pieces."

It seems that it is no longer possible to expect the unconditional surrender of Germany and Japan, and preparations for war must continue.

Allied Command, Dwight D. Eisenhower in the European theater ordered his troops to speed up their advance and be sure to enter the German mainland before winter.

At this time, Soviet Marshal Zhukov also issued an order to his subordinates to take Berlin before the arrival of the Americans.

In the Asian theater, the Chinese and American allied forces gradually approached the Japanese mainland, but the more and more frantic resistance of the Japanese also hindered the Allied officers and soldiers in the attack, but the Allied officers and soldiers did not slack off. Don't be afraid of the Japanese soldiers!

As the course of the war continued to advance, many newspapers even made predictions of the surrender of Japan and Germany, and even those who saw business opportunities took the opportunity to issue "patriotic guess coupons" to speculate on the timing of the surrender of Japan and Germany in a single purchase.

After the war, some basic things were agreed at the Shanghai Conference, and now the basic situation of the whole country has been decided, and the rest is the post-war planning.

The progress of several large armies was very smooth, the war on the Korean Peninsula was decided, and Lin Zuoda's Fifth Army, except for some of the troops remaining, began to mobilize other forces to the front line of the Japanese mainland, planning to join the attack on the Japanese mainland. Lin Zuoda was not transferred, he sat in North Korea, planning to establish a North Korean regime, and the young and capable Park Chung-hee was eager to try at this time.

In northern Mongolia, Batu's expeditionary 2nd army beat the army of the Mongolian Khan to a wolf, reproducing the majesty of Huo Quai's wolf Juxu.

Liu Jian, who had marched into Tibet, had successfully arrived in Lhasa, and the small number of Tibetan troops who wanted to resist were naturally no match for the powerful national defense forces. After being stationed in Lhasa, Liu Jian began to abolish serfdom in Tibet in accordance with the spirit of the central government, and the Tibetans gained freedom in person and land, and naturally supported the National Defense Forces very much. In addition, Liu Jian also presided over the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway to strengthen the liaison between the mainland and the Qinghai-Tibet region.

……

With good news coming in quick succession and the overall situation basically completed, restoring economic development and increasing investment in people's livelihood issues have become the top priorities.

Huang Ke realized that if China wants to rise, it must seize the opportunity of the global economic rise in the sixties and seventies.

He had to get ahead of the curve and get ahead of the time to talk to President Roosevelt about a contract for nuclear weapons technology in exchange for financial investment, because Roosevelt was relatively friendly to China and had a strategic vision, and if he died, it would be difficult to say that his successor, Truman, would be difficult to say.

Soong Tzu-wen of the Foreign Ministry suggested holding consultations with the US side again and holding high-level talks on this matter.

Huang Ke waved his hand and said, "This is not good, it makes people feel that we have been looking forward to it." It may make the other party lose interest, besides, this thing hasn't been done yet, and people don't know what's going on, so it's not okay to just talk about it. Besides, the president of the United States is not the sole proprietor. ”

"What does the chairman mean?" Chen Bui of the Propaganda Department knew that Huang Ke must have thought of a countermeasure.

"Put it into real combat and let the Americans see the true power of this weapon, and they will naturally be willing." As he spoke, Huang Ke set his eyes on Xu Shaozhou, the Minister of the Air Force on the side.

"Shao Zhou, in terms of the Air Force, can our own bomber formations form combat effectiveness alone?"

Xu Shaozhou knew that this weapon was to be dropped by bombers, and Huang Ke did not want the US military to participate in it, so he naturally wanted to do it alone.

"Now there are quite a few bombers belonging to us, and there are also a certain number of B-29s, so it is no problem to form combat effectiveness alone. However, the magazine may need to be modified. ”

Xu Shaozhou is an expert in the Air Force, and the questions he asked were very professional, and he could see the problem at a glance.

Huang Ke nodded, if you want to load such a big guy, the B-29 magazine must be modified, all of this thing is done by the Americans, and whether the technical nature of unilateral modification is enough is a problem, once something goes wrong, the loss is not just as simple as a * and an aircraft.

"Perhaps, we simply don't bypass the Americans and involve them as well. Anyway, part of this thing is to show them how powerful it is. Xu Shaozhou said with a smile.

Huang Ke nodded, "This is no problem." In my opinion, it is better to leave the matter of changing the plane to the Americans. However, how about the pilot who wants us? Do you have any suitable candidates? ”

Xu Shaozhou nodded, "There are many excellent flying skills, and many of our bomber pilots have performed many missions alone. From Singapore in the south, to North Korea in the north, and to Japan in the east, there is no problem technically. But if I had to recommend one, I would recommend Liu Yun's unit. Their group flew B29 relatively early, and they also performed the most tasks at the same time. ”

"Okay, that's it." Huang Ke stood up and said, "When the next 'Miss Qiu' is made, we will give the Japanese a big gift." ”
