Chapter 236: The War Begins
Even if Jian Mingyue used the simplest and most brutal means, by the time she had reorganized the entire army, it would already be June 1938. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 After the rectification, all the troops were owned by the state, and the officials no longer regarded the soldiers as their private property, and they were beaten and scolded in peacetime, and they cowered in battle. However, the habits of the old army cannot be completely changed for a while, and Jian Mingyue can only strengthen the enforcement of military law, and those who dare to violate military law will be dealt with one by one, no matter who it is or what background it is, it will not be merciful.
These are all small things, and there are some big things that make Jian Mingyue have a headache. Although Lao Jiang is no longer the chairman of the committee, after becoming the president of the completely unified Republic of China, he has fewer worries, and with the support of Jian Mingyue, he has also been much tougher in his attitude towards the great powers. Due to the rise of Germany, Europe is now full of war clouds, and the Kuomintang and Germany have always had a good relationship, although during the period because of Japan's strength, Germany briefly abandoned the Republic of China and chose Japan, but now that Japan has been defeated, Germany and the Republic of China have resumed relations and warmed up again.
Looking at this posture, Lao Chiang planned to pull the Republic of China down on the German chariot. But Jian Mingyue knew that Germany would eventually be defeated, and being an ally with Germany would end badly, so she strongly opposed Lao Jiang's decision. But it's not just Lao Jiang who thinks so, many people hold the same view. It's not that they are pro-German, but compared with Britain, the United States, France and other countries, Germany is indeed more friendly to the Republic of China. Not only did they sell all kinds of weapons to the Republic of China at a low price, but they also sent people to help train the army, and their attitude was not as arrogant as the ambassadors of other countries, at least they could be treated equally, how could this not make the Republic of China lean towards Germany?
Jian Mingyue is not an unreasonable person, and others do not agree with her views on this kind of issue, and she will not kill people. Lao Jiang and others just figured out her temper and dared to boldly disagree with her. Jian Mingyue can only reason with facts and try to persuade others, but it's a pity that she can say dozens of mouths with one mouth? In the end, she was not persuaded by others, but was persuaded by others.
It was not Lao Jiang who persuaded Jian Mingyue, nor those bigwigs with high prestige, but Feng Jinfa, who came to be her assistant. Feng Jinfa didn't deliberately try to convince her, but an unintentional sentence reminded her, Feng Jinfa said: "Germany alone is enough to contain the whole of Europe, and the industrial strength of the United States is indeed very strong, but don't we still have you?" If you can defeat Japan alone, it won't matter if you defeat the United States! ”
His words were very suspicious, but Jian Mingyue turned around all of a sudden. She came to this copy to fight the warship, originally she wanted to fight the little devil, but the little devil was suddenly blinded by her, retracted and didn't dare to move again, so she didn't have to fight. Now that the Republic of China has joined the side of the Axis powers, it will inevitably become an enemy of the United States, and the United States has many more warships than Japan.
It is said that during World War II, the United States could build an aircraft carrier in two months and launch a warship in a few days. There was also the European theater, where the German navy had always been weak and could only rely on submarines to prop up the façade, while the British fleet was unscrupulous. If it is an enemy of Britain and the United States, Jian Mingyue will have warships to fight! How can such a good thing be missed? Preventing the Republic of China from forming an alliance with Germany is not to push a lot of experience outward?
After figuring it out, Jian Mingyue also changed her attitude and began to support Lao Jiang's decision. This was a disappointment to some of the Communions, because if the Republic of China were to ally with Germany, it would inevitably become an enemy of the Soviet Union. There are many people in the public party who are closer to the Soviet Union than to the Republic of China, and if they are enemies of the Soviet Union, they will absolutely refuse.
Fortunately, there are only a very small number of such people, and most of them can still put their own national interests first. As a result, under the joint promotion of the two parties, the Republic of China and Germany quickly signed an offensive and defensive alliance agreement and officially joined the Axis powers.
In addition to international events, there are also some annoying flies that are annoying. Since Jian Mingyue repelled the Japanese army of millions, her reputation has spread all over the land of China, and it can be said that women and children know it. Some shameless tabloids took the opportunity to use her fame to make a fortune, and in the form of memoirs and interviews, they published some nonsense reports such as "The Eighteen Days of Me and Jian Mingyue", "Two or Three Things Between Li Gongzi and the Goddess of the Snow Mountain", "Many Bigwigs in the Military Circles Worship Under the Skirt of the Goddess", etc., which attracted the people to rush to buy them and made the newspaper owners make a windfall.
Of course, these reports are fabricated in the eyes of those who understand, but in this era when the vast majority of people are illiterate, where is there such a high level of screening ability? So Jian Mingyue was portrayed as a domineering, lewd, and ambitious image. The good image established by Jian Mingyue's expulsion of the Japanese invaders and the unification of the country was almost ruined in a short period of time. Even if Jian Mingyue was just a passerby, she couldn't help but be angry when she saw these people pouring dirty water on her like this, and immediately instructed Dai Li to arrest people and carefully interrogate whether there were people behind these newspapers who were deliberately instructing.
Not to mention, the first trial was really troublesome. The small bosses of several newspapers are just targets placed in the front desk, and there are indeed people behind them. However, they have never met the person who instructed them, and the manuscripts were all mailed to the newspaper, and they did not even ask for the manuscript fee. These small bosses are greedy for money and decided to take a risk, and it is estimated that many newspapers that dare not take risks have also received the manuscript, but they have not reported it.
As an intelligence leader, Dai Li knows Jian Mingyue's power, and now he is his top boss, so he naturally works hard to investigate, and immediately assigns competent people to continue the investigation. However, it took them a lot of effort to find the person who submitted the article, only to find that this person had already been killed, and the corpse was stinking.
The corpse stinks, indicating that the person has been dead for several days, and it is estimated that the other party knew about it when Dai Li just started to investigate the case, and immediately killed people. This point can show that the person who instructed is likely to be an insider, there is nothing else, and the clue is completely broken.
When Dai Li was ashamed to report this result to Jian Mingyue, Jian Mingyue didn't blame him. Since the black hand behind the scenes is deliberately dealing with himself, how can he not understand his own ability? Clean hands and feet are a given. But it's enough to know that it's an insider, and since this person is around, it's much easier.
In the days that followed, Jian Mingyue was like Sun Wukong when he was an official in the heavenly court, throwing down the business in his hand and not doing it, and going everywhere. From Defense Minister Bai Chongxi to Finance Minister Kong Xiangxi, from Mao Weiren to Director Zhou, even Lao Jiang did not let go, all of them were controlled by her for a moment when she was not paying attention to the Soul Transfer Method, and asked them if they were behind the scenes. In the end, a large number of people were involved in this matter, including people from both parties.
This shocked Jian Mingyue, she didn't expect so many people to oppose her. But these people are not all opposed because they can't get used to her, many of them are out of public interest. Jian Mingyue's prestige is too high now, and many ordinary people even began to build temples for her, burn incense and kowtow to her. If one day she wants to be the second empress, there will be a lot of people to support her. In order to prevent Jian Mingyue from being alone, these people came up with such a bad move.
Of course, there are also people who simply don't like her and feel that it is a shame for a woman to press on their heads; Some people also felt that by driving the Japanese out, she was hindering the great opportunity for China to be incorporated into Japan and hindering the opportunity to become a powerful country.
For these people, Jian Mingyue is just used to extinguish the fire, especially the kind of people who are slaves in their bones, and they are even more unforgiving. And it's not enough to kill them, before killing them, use the soul transfer method to let them summon all the dirty thoughts in their hearts, and publish their confessions in the newspaper, so that everyone can see their minions' faces, and let them stink for 10,000 years.
Killing a group of people is considered to be out of anger, but it also gives Jian Mingyue a wake-up call. This time, she didn't plan to be the empress herself, but she still caused so many things, and it seemed that she was still managing too much, so she decided to delegate power, leave things to others to do, and leave more time for herself to practice. So she presided over the last project, which was to let the Germans help the Republic of China establish a complete military industrial system, and after the project started, she left the matter to Li Zongren and went into retreat by herself.
In the blink of an eye, in September 1939, Germany attacked Poland, and Britain and France declared war on Germany, opening the prelude to World War II. However, although Britain and France declared war, they hid behind the Maginot Line and watched the play, watching Germany fight Poland and Denmark, and Denmark and Norway. It was not until 1940 that Germany began to fight Belgium and the Netherlands, and the troops bypassed the Maginot Line and pointed directly at France, that Britain and France woke up and it was too late to organize resistance, and they were defeated by German tanks. If it weren't for the success of the Dunkirk retreat and the saving of many British soldiers, there would be no need to fight later, and Germany would have directly unified Europe.
Since Germany started fighting, the Republic of China had no worries, first of all, it swept away the concessions in Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou and other places, and then Hong Kong and Macao were also recovered, and then they were ready to send troops to Southeast Asia, seize the colonies of Britain, France and the United States, and even plan to fight India.
At this time, Japan had another moth. However, this time they did not want to be enemies of the Republic of China, but grovelled and pasted up, and they also wanted to join the side of the Axis powers and attack Britain, France and the United States. The reason is also very good, although the Republic of China has been reunified, and the combat effectiveness of the army has also increased greatly after the reorganization, the navy has always been a weak point. It just so happens that Japan's navy is very powerful, claiming to be the third in the world, and the two countries can complement each other and jointly revitalize Asia.
In fact, Japan's intention has been in place for a long time, and it has communicated with the Republic of China many times. It's just that before the Republic of China, there were too many angry little devils, and many people were extremely disgusted with them, so there were many people who opposed them, and the two sides did not reach any agreement. But this time, Japan went through the path of Germany, and after all, Germany was the boss of the Axis powers, and the Republic of China still had to rely on them in many places, and Germany had just swept Europe, and it was at its peak that the Republic of China had to give face, so it suppressed the opposition and promised to accept Japan.
