At noon, Lao Jiang set up a banquet in Zengjiayan's official residence to catch the wind and wash the dust for Chen Feng and his party, and the banquet was held in the form of a cocktail party, and the specifications were very high.

Everyone was eating and drinking throughout noon, the big guy was very curious about Chen Feng, a giant with a respected status, there were many people who toasted Chen Feng from the beginning of the banquet, Chen Feng did not refuse to come, and drank as much as he wanted from the goblet, anyway, with his physical fitness, even if he drank a dozen or twenty catties of high liquor, there was no problem, it was just a big deal to go to the toilet a few more times.

Everyone knows that Chen Feng's ability to fight devils is not small, but they don't know that Lu Dao's ability to drink is also incomparable, and those who have good things secretly calculated that in the three-hour banquet, Chen Feng drank a total of 97 glasses of white wine and 48 glasses of red wine, which is calculated according to a glass of 2 taels, a total of 19 catties of high liquor and 10 catties of red wine, that is to say, Chen Feng drank nearly 30 catties of wine alone in the entire drinking party.

But until the banquet ended, Chen Feng was still very sober and did not mean to get drunk at all, which made a large group of southern gentlemen have a heartfelt fear of the amount of alcohol from the Saibei men. Is this Nima still human, this is simply a humanoid wine vat.

Originally, Lao Jiang also planned to hold a dance party in the evening, so that Chen Feng could contact and contact the elite pillars of the Chongqing party-state, but Chen Feng refused, so Chen Feng told Lao Jiang that he would stay in Chongqing for one night at most, and return to Guisui tomorrow.

After the banquet was over, Chen Feng didn't go to rest, and went directly to Lao Jiang's study with Lao Jiang, and the two of them sat down and chatted.

"Suyan, this is your first time in Chongqing, right?"

"Hmm. It is indeed the first time, it can be said that this is the first time I went to the south, I was born on the grassland, grew up on the grassland, grew up and only stayed in Beiping for two years, and the farthest place has only been to Beiping, not to mention Chongqing, even the south bank of the Yellow River I rarely go! Chen Feng said with a smile.

Of course, Chen Feng would not tell Lao Jiang that in his previous life, he had not only been to Chongqing, but also to almost all important countries in the world.

"No wonder. It seems like this is the second time we've met, right? ”

"The last time it was supposed to be in Kaifeng. That is, the time when Han Fuqu was arrested and executed! Chen Feng said with a smile.

"The first few times I called you to a meeting, you always said that you were too busy to get out, why did you think of Chongqing this time?" Lao Jiang asked with a smile.

"Commission, I came to Chongqing this time mainly to talk to you about the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War and the problems of Henan!" Chen Feng is also not stage frightened. Straight to the point. He knows very well that he is still tender to play tricks with a political master like Lao Jiang. Just put the problem out directly, so that you can gain the initiative, at least not let yourself be too passive.

"Oh. You are the mainstay of the party-state's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and you are also the most accomplished military strategist of the party-state after Mr. Baili, so you must have unique insights into the overall situation of the future War of Resistance, right? Old Jiang asked with a straight face.

Although Lao Jiang was a little worried about Chen Feng's ambitions, he admired Chen Feng's ability very much, even Xue Yue and Chen Cheng, who were the most capable in the Central Army, had to admire Chen Feng's command level, and this young man had not received formal military education, and his command ability could be called talented.

"The commission has been awarded, the party-state has millions of troops, thousands of generals, like Commander-in-Chief Xue, Commander Wang Yaowu and others are brave generals who are rare to see in a century, and they are all weak and weak-crowned young men, how dare they bear such praise!"

"Hehehe, you are too modest without makeup, you are an anti-Japanese hero, but you are a real fighter, a brigade of the Japanese army dares to compete with a division of the party-state, a wing dares to compete with an army of the party-state, and a division of Kenji Dohihara even dares to go deep into the hinterland of Henan alone, between hundreds of thousands of central troops, it can be seen that his actions are rampant, but in the north of the country where you are stationed, no matter whether it is a wing, even a division and an army dare not jump at will!" Lao Jiang said with a smile.

Although Chen Feng knew that Lao Jiang's words were to put a high hat on him, but to hear such words from the mouth of this big man, whether it was true or false, made Chen Feng very happy.

"Commission, the War of Resistance against Japan has been going on for the fourth year, according to Mr. Yan'an Mao, the War of Resistance against Japan has entered a stage of stalemate, I wonder how the Commission thinks the next war will develop?"

"Solemnly, in the twentieth year of the Republic of China, the Japanese launched the 918 Incident, and since then the war between China and Japan has begun, although Japan has achieved some victories, but it can no longer pull out its feet. Japan, on the other hand, in a mountainous archipelago that struggled to feed its highly fertile population of 73 million, sought more resources as it imitated the West's industrial development and achieved astonishing success. ”

"But even in this regard, there are serious obstacles to its development. Because it has no local energy and no raw materials. In order to obtain them, it would have to dump most of its industrial products cheaply into other countries. Therefore, the stability and progress of Japan's economy depends on the scale of its foreign trade, and its economy is fragile because it can only be transported by sea. The Japanese economy had already been hit hard in 1919 and was seriously affected by the economic crisis of the thirties, so it had to embark on the path of foreign expansion. ”

"The Japanese invaded China in order to obtain huge benefits, but now they are mired in war, and there is no way to talk about this benefit, so the Japanese are likely to take three measures to solve this problem. The first is to continue to divide and co-opt the party-state, and lure the party-state to stop resisting with all kinds of seemingly favorable conditions. The second is to continue to increase the number of troops in China, intensify the offensive, and use force to conquer China, but given the situation in Japan, this is not very likely. The third is to seek supplementary strategic resources, that is, to negotiate with the United States and Britain and other countries in exchange for certain political interests in exchange for these strategic resources to supply the normal operation of their huge war machine. Old Jiang said eloquently.

Although it is not very accurate, it is still very good, and it can be seen that Lao Jiang also has a deep understanding and research of the Japanese, and he is very familiar with Japan's national conditions, people's conditions, and military conditions.

Chen Feng nodded and said: "Commission, as you just said, the fundamental purpose of Japan's invasion of China is for the sake of interests, and China, with its vast territory and inexhaustible resources, provides Japan with the raw material reserve base and commodity sales market it seeks. ”

"Because of the military weakness of the party-state, the Japanese army was given an opportunity to take advantage of. Due to our lack of preparation, we were unable to defend our territory and had to abandon the city and retreat inland. Beiping, Zhangjiakou, Taiyuan, Guangzhou, Hankou, Shanghai and other cities quickly fell. By 1939, the Japanese had captured the richest part of China, which was a record of achievement and a source of pride for the Japanese. ”

But in reality, Japan has lost millions of people in the war of aggression against China. The Japanese Army thought that the "China Incident" would be over within a few months, but they were only able to stretch a few tentacles into the depths to "sweep" an area, but could not actually occupy the entire country. Japan is swallowing China one bite at a time, but it has not been able to digest it. Japan, for its part, is in the middle of an endless war that prevents it from exploiting the part of the territory it occupies. Germany's victory in Europe created a new situation in Japan's favor. ”

"There is some truth in the three measures that Japan will take, but they are not all right!"

Lao Jiang looked at Chen Feng with interest, I don't know when few people dared to refute their opinions so directly.

"Oh, then, in your opinion, what measures will the Japanese take to resolve the current crisis?" Lao Jiang asked with a smile.

"Two measures, the first is political inducement, and the second is military expansion. The object of political inducement is the party-state, not to mention this, the committee has already thought of it. The next highlight of this military expansion zombie Japanese army is also the only way for the Japanese army to solve the crisis under the premise that it is unwilling to let go of China! ”

"Military expansion? Who is it for? Lao Jiang frowned and asked.

"The United States, and the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, and if necessary, France and Thailand!" Chen Feng said.

"How is this possible? How can they be stupid enough to provoke so many countries at the same time? Lao Jiang obviously didn't believe Chen Feng's judgment.

With the development of Japan's economy and the enhancement of national strength, especially the gradual abolition of all unequal treaties from the hands of the great powers, this kind of nationalism has increased rapidly, and it is even a little crazy beyond imagination. ”

Although the Japanese knew that their country's material civilization still lagged behind the Western powers, they did not admit in the slightest that they were inferior in spirit. They believe, without exception, that one day they will catch up with their opponents and then surpass them inexorably. It is true that Japan's national status cannot compete with the United States and Britain, but the outbreak of the European war gave Japan an excellent opportunity, and the defeat of France and the almost desperate isolation of Britain made the Japanese imperialists show unlimited prospects both in terms of economic needs and in terms of xenophobic nationalism. ”

"Especially the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, which allowed Japan to solve its worries. We can try to analyze that in the South Pacific it is only the United States and Britain that can pose a threat to Japan, France and the Netherlands are already in a state of anarchy, and the government-in-exile has little control over French Indochina and the Dutch East Indies, so these two countries are almost negligible. As for Britain, its main focus is now on Europe, and its strength in Asia is simply not enough to compete with Japan, and isolationism is rife in the United States, and the people are reluctant to get involved in the war, so it seems that there are many enemies, but in fact, if it is planned properly, Japan still has a great chance of winning. ”

The more Jiang listened, the more he felt that it made sense, and if Chen Feng had analyzed it like this, Japan would not have gone to war with the United States. Thinking of the strange information collected by the military department during this time, Lao Jiang's face couldn't help but become solemn! (To be continued......)
