To increase the support for the Northwest Army, it can be divided into three aspects, first of all, in terms of money and materials, and secondly, Chu Tiange will select a group of elite soldiers from the active guerrillas and the Spark Brigade to help Guo Da establish a guerrilla force in the local area. The last is the establishment of a television and broadcasting system in Outer Mongolia, so that the people of Outer Mongolia can hear the voices of Guangzhou and the mainland.

The military intervention of Russia (the Soviet Union) was one reason for seeking the truth about Outer Mongolia's secession from China, and the other reason was that the local religious elite and the lay princes and nobles wanted to protect their interests, so they did not hesitate to pull all Outer Mongolians into their chariot. Since the Xinhai Revolution and the declaration of independence of Outer Mongolia, Outer Mongolia has also returned to China many times, so Ouyang Yun feels that it is not impossible to pull Outer Mongolia back again. Whether they can win the hearts and minds of the people at the bottom will be the key to their implementation of this plan.

For some time after that, the work of the General Headquarters of the Cadet Army was carried out around this.

On September 6, in Europe, Britain and France, having found that the appeasement policy had failed, finally declared war on Germany, and the war of the century inevitably broke out again on the continent of Europe. At the same time, in Guangzhou, Chen Shichang and his entourage went to Hong Kong and embarked on a journey to the United States. More than 600 people, all full of vigorous faces, when they stepped through the Luohu Pass and entered Hong Kong, the farewell group led by Ji Xingwen suddenly stood solemnly and saluted their backs.

Chen Shichang's cousin Qian Maomao was among them, she was already the chief physician of a junior surgery department in the General Hospital, she looked at Chen Shichang's thin and tall back with tears in her eyes, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Cousin, I'm waiting for you!" ”

Chen Shichang should have heard this cry full of affection, his figure paused slightly, and then continued to move forward.

More than 600 soldiers went on to study and train, and more than 400 came from the two fleets of the navy. Others come from units such as the Air Force, Wolf Fang, Fox Pupil, and Spark Brigade, as well as schools such as the Foreign Chinese Academy. Except for Chen Shichang, no one else knew the task of his trip. Ji Xingwen silently looked at the sturdy figures of these young men, and silently said in his heart: Young men, you! It's the future of the Cadet Army!

When Chen Shichang and his entourage boarded a cruise ship of the American Star Company, Nagasaki, the anchorage of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the captain's room of the Kaga aircraft carrier, Yamamoto Isoroku was the leader, Koizumi Tonichiro, Tsukahara No. 243 and others were sitting around him, listening to Yamamoto's adjutant Sanada reading a battle report: "...... Britain and France jointly declared war on Germany, and the flames of war in the new century have been ignited......"

After reading the battle report, Sanada bowed and retreated behind Yamamoto. Yamamoto glanced up at everyone and asked, "Gentlemen, what do you think?" ”

No one spoke. Tsukahara and others were worried that they would make a fool of himself because they knew little about the market in European countries, while Koizumi was because he had not yet come out of the shadow of the failure of Hainan Island, and he behaved extremely low-key during this time, and he had no intention of opening his mouth at all.

Yamamoto sighed softly, looked at Koizumi, and said by name: "Koizumi-kun let's talk about it first!" ”

Koizumi has been reflecting on this time, and at this time, what he can't get in his mind is still what the Hainan Raiders will fail. A little distracted, and even after Yamamoto counted his name for a minute, he woke up under Tsukahara's reminder.

Yamamoto frowned slightly. The failure of the Hainan Raiders hit him hard, but he and Koizumi's attitudes were diametrically opposed, and he chose to face it bravely, recalling the details of the raiders in an almost masochistic way, in order to find the reason for the defeat. He was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Koizumi's current state, and he said in a stern tone: "Koizumi-kun, as a real soldier, it is extremely stupid to be obsessed with the success or failure of one war and one place. If you can't come out of the shadow of Hainan's defeat, then I suggest you quit the army. In your current state, it is better to become a professor at a university, or to work as a technical instructor in an arsenal, than to sit here in the twilight! ”

After Yamamoto finished speaking, except for Koizumi, everyone else looked at him in shock. Koizumi, who was accustomed to Yamamoto being as gentle as his son, felt very unaccustomed to seeing him so harsh with Koizumi at first glance. Yamamoto should have endured these words for a long time, after speaking, he looked at Koizumi with an angry look, and the latter suddenly sweated profusely under his anger, and the next moment he stood up in fear, bowed, and said loudly: "Xie Lu Xie's alertness, Koizumi understands!" ”

Hearing him say this, Yamamoto's eyes softened a little, and his voice couldn't help but lower, and he said "gently": "Koizumi, do you know what I expect from you." You're still young, and you have time to redeem your lost honor. Isn't there a saying that says? Where do you fall and where you get up, as a real soldier, if you don't even have this quality, then what else can you do? Let's talk about the impact of the declaration of war by Britain and France on Germany. ”

Koizumi took a deep breath and raised his head, his eyes already full of the old look. He searched for relevant knowledge in his mind and said loudly: "Your Excellency! Ladies and gentlemen! Remember how we got Qingdao from Germany? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Yamamoto smiled, "Keep talking!" ”

Koizumi nodded: "It's because Britain, France, the United States and other countries are involved in Germany and have no time to look east, and another point is that at that time, China was in the period of confrontation between the north and the south, and it had no strength to engage in military confrontation with our country at all." Excellencies, Gentlemen! The First World War made it easy for us to occupy Qingdao; And now, World War II, which has ignited the flames of war, has given us a similar opportunity to make profits! ”

During World War I, Japan obtained Qingdao by blackmailing the Western powers, which made a deep impression on Yamamoto and others, and everyone was refreshed when they heard it, and their eyes looking at Koizumi could not help but be full of anticipation.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Koizumi became more and more confident: "It's no longer realistic to make a profit in China this time." After all, the empire had already captured almost half of the territory of China, and the interests of the Western powers in China had tended to be minimized. This time, we can do a good job in Southeast Asia! ”

"Southeast Asia?!" Yamamoto's expression froze. Southeast Asia is now in the realm of British and American power, and Britain is not, but the United States-Yamamoto does not think Japan can now challenge the world's most industrialized emerging country.

Koizumi and Yamamoto looked at each other and said affirmatively: "Yes, it's Southeast Asia!" ”

Yamamoto frowned slightly, but Tsukahara and the others were interested, and Tsukahara asked, "Koizumi-kun, be specific!" ”

Koizumi smiled and said, "The resources of Southeast Asia are exactly what the empire is currently lacking. It is true that the United States is very powerful, so strong that if the country entered the military system, it would become a war monster. However, we are not without opportunities. If there is a war between England and France and Germany, there will be a victory and defeat one day, and if Britain and France are defeated, that will be our chance! Britain and France are both allies of the United States, and if Britain and France are defeated, the United States will certainly not be able to stand alone, and once the United States is dragged into the war in Europe, then our opportunity will come. The day will not come soon, but it will not be too late. So I think that in the current situation, we should lie dormant to accumulate strength, grind our teeth, and then wait for the day when the opportunity comes, and then launch a fatal blow! Bring Southeast Asia under the reach of the Empire. Your Excellency, I will submit a detailed plan to you after the meeting. ”

After Koizumi finished speaking, Yamamoto didn't care, and everyone else had an excited expression. In Southeast Asia, there is oil and rubber, and these are the most scarce military supplies for the empire. If Southeast Asia can really be included, then the military strength of the empire will inevitably be greatly expanded. When the empire is full-fledged, and then go back to clean up the branch, the problem of that branch will be a piece of cake.

At the thought of being able to truly solve the problem of China, thereby expanding the territory of the empire to the vast land plains, Tsukahara and the others were so excited that they even became short of breath.
