The chief of staff of the staff headquarters of the base camp, Xianyuan Gong Zairen, paused with shame on his face and said: "This fiasco is indeed unexpected, more than 22,000 people have been killed by the imperial army in just half a day, which is an unprecedented shame and failure!" As Chief of Staff, I have an unshirkable responsibility, please punish Your Majesty! ”

Hirohito hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Huang, please don't blame yourself, how can I blame you for this!" I only hate those fools for being careless about the enemy, I have already ordered to defend the fortress city to resist layer by layer, and these fools actually fought a decisive battle with the Jiaodong Group Army in the plains! "Prince Zaihito of Kanin Palace was the uncle of Emperor Showa, an important minister in charge of the army for the emperor during the Showa period, and one of the main culprits of the war of aggression against China.

During the Russo-Japanese War, he was a cavalry general, and served as the chief of staff of the Japanese Army from the late September 18 Incident to the full-scale invasion of China, commanding the war of aggression against China behind the scenes. He issued every order for the Japanese invasion of China, and he played an irreplaceable role in the expansion of the Japanese fascist army and the capture of Chinese territory.

In his later years, he was deeply rooted in the city, and no one dared to mess with him in the army, and in fact became the head of the army. "Hello! His Majesty the Emperor said very much! Deputy Chief of Staff Tada Jun hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then continued: "But this time the situation is a little special, the Huaxia army has used an extremely powerful tactic!"

According to Nojima's analysis, this tactic is called blitzkrieg, and it is still in the theoretical research stage among the German allies! Hirohito frowned and said, "Blitzkrieg? What kind of tactic is this? Since even the German allies were based on theoretical research, how could the Chinese army use such tactics? ”

Tada Jun hurriedly replied: "Nojima Nakasa only dabbled in it when he studied in Germany, and he didn't learn a complete theory of war!" However, according to the information that came back, it can be known that this tactic is to make full use of the quick advantage of aircraft, tanks and mechanized troops to defeat the enemy by surprise attack!

This time, we just suffer from the fact that we know too little about this new tactic, and the power of the tank cluster charge is too great, especially the opponent's tank defense is amazing, the Imperial Army lacks anti-tank weapons, and the Imperial warriors have no way to effectively block it! "Yaga! How could this treacherous Huaxia commander be so difficult! Doesn't that mean that we have no way to defeat the tank armored forces of the Jiaodong Group Army? ”

After listening carefully to Tada's explanation and analysis, Hirohito's face became ugly! "Not really!" Tada Junton said: "The most effective way to fight this tactic is aerial bombing, but the air force of the Jiaodong Group Army is also quite powerful!" This time, the Imperial Aviation Force suffered a big loss, I really don't know where they got so many advanced fighters! ”

War Minister Ono Jiro nodded and said: "That's true, if it weren't for the Flying Tigers of the Jiaodong Group Army, the Imperial Army would definitely not have suffered such a fiasco!" "Ohno Jiro's heart is full of sorrow, he has fought with Jiang Qiang many times, and there is no time when he didn't hit his head and bleed, and finally left the position of division commander with regret and shame! Although he is now promoted, Jiro Ohno is more eager to gallop the field and get more achievements in expanding the territory!

Tada Jun continued: "In addition, you can also use tank troops to fight against it, or a large number of anti-tank anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank mines and other weapons!" And these are also the shortcomings of our current army, which is especially tricky against such a strong opponent as the Jiaodong Group Army! "Yaga! I knew that this was the case, and before they became successful, no matter how much it would cost, they should have been killed with all their might! ”

Hirohito regretted it in his heart, if he only lost a few divisions and regiments, it would not be a big deal to lose some territory, and he was afraid that the Jiaodong Group Army would develop too fast, or even completely beyond his control! Xianyuan Gong Zairen said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, the powerful national strength of the empire will never be stagnant because of some small setbacks!" As long as we make corrections in time, we can not only turn the tide, but also get a blessing in disguise! ”

"Shw! What Uncle Huang said is extremely true! Hirohito's face softened slightly, and he suffered heavy losses and defeats in the hands of Jiang Qiang again and again, not to mention the front-line officers and soldiers, and even he, the high-ranking emperor, began to become unconfident and shaken! Tada Jun continued: "Your Majesty, in addition to the fact that we need to speed up the upgrading of weapons and equipment, we also need to speed up the updating of our combat theory, and I suggest that more outstanding officers be sent to Germany for training!" ”

"Yo Si! I'm right! Hirohito nodded without hesitation, and then his eyes lit up and said, "This lightning tactic is so effective!" Why can't we use it? Although it is difficult to work for the Jiaodong Group Army, it should be able to do it for a large area of national control! ”

Tada Jun smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, there are too few plains in southern China now, and the terrain is very complicated, which is not suitable for large-scale mechanized combat!" If we had known about this kind of blitzkrieg in advance in the North China Battlefield and the Xuzhou Battlefield, we would have been able to make a difference, and we would have been able to destroy China in three months! "yes, that's a shame!" Hirohito sighed helplessly.

Tada Jun said at this time: "However, this tactic is still worthy of further study and improvement, our northern enemy, the Soviet Union, has an extremely vast plain area, and it will definitely be very effective when the time comes!" "Let's talk about that later! Our most important task at present is to end the Battle of Wuhan as soon as possible and force the Chinese Nationalist Government to surrender as soon as possible! Then concentrate on the efforts to wipe out the Jiaodong Group Army cleanly and thoroughly! ”

Hirohito waved his hand speechlessly, he had only been beaten by Wang Yizhe before, although he got a lot of benefits from the Germans, but at present, the Japanese army really can't beat Wang Yizhe! Tada Jundong said: "Your Majesty is wise! At present, a million Chinese troops have been assembled in the Wuhan area, and the advance of the imperial warriors has encountered extremely stubborn resistance, and it is difficult to end the battle in a short period of time from the front!

Tingting was under the leadership of the special forces in Hongkou District, Shanghai, and came to the Jiaodong Peninsula on a Shanghai Airlines passenger plane, Jiang Qiang heard that Tingting was coming, and took Shunzi and Li Jinglin and Huzi to the airport early in the morning, Tingting also knew Huzi and Li Jinglin, Jiang Qiang had no choice but to take the three of them to the airport to welcome Tingting's arrival.

"Leaving early and returning late" is a distinctive characteristic of Shandong people, who go out to Shanghai to fish in the morning, and their tired figures can not be seen until late at night walking towards their long-awaited relatives.

On the map, the inconspicuous Shandong area is the closest to the sea, and it is said that the young man in Shandong is strong and straightforward; The girl is strong and beautiful; The seafood is delicious. Do you know "Horse Stepping on Feiyan"? The statue of the individual stands in the center of the "Yangma Island".

The hometown of the sea allows me to grow up in the sea breeze all the time, listening to the sea breeze, watching the waves, stepping on the waves, and running towards the embrace of the sea. The sea not only feeds us, but also fattens the fish and shrimp. The fish swim freely in the sea, the jellyfish dance freely, and I often eat them. Standing on the top of the mountain looking at the blue sky, looking down on the sea, and seeing the natural beauty, I can't help but think of the beautiful Baotu Spring Baotu Spring is famous all over the world, with the name of "lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides", he sprays water upwards every day, never lazy, he is like a toy, brings us joy, he is like a material, brings us inspiration, it is like a movie, brings us entertainment. Lao She's Baotu Spring reminds me of Mount Tai again. There is more than one Mount Tai, the size of the mountain peak "heart to heart", there are high and low, wide and narrow, countless. There are countless people who want to see it, and it can be said that it is a fairyland. The beautiful scenery of Mount Tai is desirable and admirable. It is worthy of being the first of the five mountains. The beauty of Mount Tai makes people linger, who will not think of the rising sun. As soon as the sky was bright, the sun was crowed by the rooster, the first rays of sunlight shone into the heart, shone into the window, and shone to the earth, who would have thought that the spring was quietly approaching, and Shandong in the spring was even more beautiful, the first ray of sunlight shone into the earth, everything woke up, the grass poked its head out of the quilt, and then stretched a "big lazy waist", and then accepted the "challenge" in the wind. The willow is like a girl, and the green branches fluttering vertically in the wind are like her beautiful long hair. The sparkling surface of the lake ripples out pieces of "petals" and leaks the "fragrance" of "flowers", and the breeze blows, reflecting the shadows of willows and flowers on the surface of the lake.

The plane arrived at Jiaodong Military Airport at 6:50 in the morning, a large plane slowly landed at the military airport in Qixia County, Tingting got off the plane under the leadership of two special forces, Jiang Qiang greeted Tingting and said, "You are here, go home, I made breakfast and it is still in the rice cooker", Tingting did not pay attention to Jiang Qiang but walked towards Shunzi and Li Jinglin and went away at ease, looked at Li Jinglin and Shunzi Tingting and said, "Thank you for always protecting you with your life, thank you." Shunzi said nervously to Tingting, "Sister-in-law, don't say that, we're all embarrassed, it's Brother Qiang who is taking care of us, sister-in-law should go home first, right?" Huzi drove a business car and said to Tingting, "Sister-in-law, please get in the car, Brother Jiang get in the car." ”

Jiang Qiang knew that Tingting would be very angry this time, but the result was that he ignored himself, and the rest was still okay, there was no way to say that he would return to Shanghai in less than a year, and now it has been two years, and he didn't write back, so he had to follow Tingting into the car.

When he got home, Jiang Qiang introduced Jiang He to Tingting, and specially said that Jiang He was Zhuang Tao's fiancée, there was no way, at this time, he must explain clearly, Jiang He took out breakfast and called Huzi to eat together, Li Jinglin They also finished breakfast with Jiang Qiang and Tingting, Huzi and they went back to the barracks, Jiang He still chose to stay.

"Total seat! Good afternoon! This is a little bit of my care, please laugh! "After getting off work in the morning, Xia Yu rode the tram to Jiang Qiang to attend the family banquet." Do you still need to be polite to me? It's just an ordinary family banquet, don't be restrained, just think it's cold in your own home! Jiang Qiang smiled, stretched out his hand to take the gift, then stood up and said, "Since everyone is here, let's go to the meal first, and then talk slowly after eating!" ”

After happily eating a sumptuous lunch, Jiang Qiang said to Tingting and Xia Yu: "You two come to the study with me!" "Great!" Xia Yu stood up and followed behind Jiang Qiang, feeling a little happy in his heart. Which girl doesn't have spring, although Jiang Qiang has never had the actions and words of love between men and women for Xia Yu, but he really looks at Xia Yu differently and gives him extremely generous care!

Because in Jiang Qiang's view, such a strange woman who dares to cross the ocean and return to China to go to the national disaster together is completely necessary and should be given special care! Jiang Qiang smiled, and then turned to the right and said: "Next, let's talk about business, I am ready to add a burden to you!" Recently, I'm going to carry out an in-depth and thorough rectification campaign!

The main purpose of this activity is to establish efficient and honest government agencies, sweep away underworld forces, establish new social trends, and publicize and promote patriotism in the War of Resistance! I want you to be in charge of the feature story and create a special news group, which needs to be carried out continuously and effectively over a long period of time, and not just a blow of wind! ”

The summer offensive has come to an end for the time being, there will be no major battles in the near future, and it is time to rectify the internal atmosphere! After a month-and-a-half-long summer offensive, the Jiaodong Group Army destroyed more than 26,000 enemies and recovered Mengyin County, Boshan County, Linqu County, Changle County, Wei County, and Changyi County! Now nearly half of the area outside the Shandong Peninsula has been pocketed!

At present, the digestion and deployment work of the newly occupied areas is in full swing, and due to the expansion of the territory, the defense areas of the divisions have also been adjusted accordingly! After a brief introduction, Jiang Qiang handed out a document bag and said, "This is the draft I drafted, you take it back and study it carefully!" Give me a specific implementation plan as soon as possible, whether it is a person or a thing, I will fully support you! ”

Xia Yu stretched out his hands and took the document bag, nodded heavily, and said, "Please rest assured, I will go all out and never dare to live up to your high expectations!" Jiang Qiang nodded and said, "Okay!" Now you can go back first! "Okay, Soza! Then I'll go first! Xia Yu hurriedly stood up and nodded goodbye.

After Xia Yu left the stage, Tingting smiled and quipped: "Jiang Qiang, I think this little girl is not only beautiful, but also has good ability, and more importantly, she is loyal to you, why don't you accept her too?" "Ahem, ahem, don't make a fuss!" Jiang Qiang's old face turned slightly red, making him really look like a debaucherous and unscrupulous earth emperor.

Stilwell picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said slowly, "To be honest, I don't know much, but the intelligence gathered from all sides is enough to see that this army is extremely powerful and mysterious!"

They have a lot of advanced weapons and equipment that were ahead of their time, such as semi-automatic rifles, tanks, armored vehicles, anti-tank rocket launchers, fighter jets, helicopters, and radar! Not only are these weapons and equipment much better than our current equipment, but some of them are still under research and development! I don't know if they made these weapons and equipment, or if they were really imported and smuggled into China from where! Well, to be precise, it's a huge mystery that still can't be solved!

But I firmly believe that there must be an amazing secret behind this mystery, and it is very likely that it will affect the whole world situation in the future! ......""What? Are you telling the truth? ”

After listening to Stilwell's explanation, the elegant smile on Roosevelt's face instantly froze, revealing a look of hell and said, "What kind of powerful force can there be in the country of China?" Are you sure you're not kidding me? ”

August 23 at 5 p.m. US time? President Roosevelt hosted a private dinner at the White House to entertain Stilwell, Bivis, and other foreign ministers and military attachés, who had returned home from afar to report on their duties. After the dinner, Roosevelt met separately with Joseph Stilwell, military attache of the embassy in China, in the president's office.

Roosevelt stirred the coffee for a while, then looked up at Stilwell and said, "You came back from Huaxia just now, and you know the situation in Huaxia best, I want to listen carefully to you about the situation of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China!" Stilwell thought for a moment and then said softly: "Mr. President, the overall situation is very critical, and the Japanese have an absolute advantage!" But I believe that the final victory will belong to Huaxia! ”

Joseph Stilwell was a friendly American military strategist who graduated from West Point in 1904 and fought in World War I as a military attache at the U.S. Embassy in China. After the Pearl Harbor attack in World War II, the United States entered the war, Stilwell was promoted to lieutenant general in 1942, and was sent to China, successively served as chief of staff of the China Theater, commander-in-chief of the U.S. forces in the China-Burma-India theater, deputy commander of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia, commander of the Chinese forces in India, and the person in charge of the distribution of American aid materials to China, and was later promoted to four-star general.

Roosevelt smiled and asked, "Are you so optimistic about Huaxia?" As far as I know, the Huaxia Kingdom has lost a large part of its territory in a row, Japan has worked hard for many years, has accumulated a strong war potential, has the most powerful army and navy in East Asia, and the warlords of the Huaxia Kingdom are weak in national strength, do they really have the ability to resist the Japanese in an all-out war? Stilwell put down the coffee cup in his hand and said solemnly: "Mr. President, Huaxia has a large population and a vast territory, and has extremely strong resilience and war potential!"

The Japanese are small and scarce in resources, and even if they have a huge advantage now, their advantage will become a disadvantage over time! In particular, there is a special and powerful Chinese army, which makes me even more convinced of this! Roosevelt smiled and asked, "Oh, you're talking about the Jiaodong Army?" What do you know specifically about this army? ”

Stilwell nodded seriously and said, "Mr. President, everything I said is true!" Because that Huaxia commander did an extremely good job of secrecy, those core weapons and equipment were only circulated through the grapevine, and outsiders could not contact them at all! But paper can never contain fire, and we have verified through various channels that these extremely advanced weapons and equipment are real, and they have repeatedly caused heavy casualties to the Japanese! "So, this is really news that deserves great attention!"

Roosevelt's eyes froze, and after pondering with his fingers on the table for a long time, he said to Stilwell: "In that case, when you return to Huaxia again in a while, please be sure to have a deep understanding!" We, the United States of America, are the most advanced and developed countries in the world, and we need to always maintain this leading position, although we are far away from the Eurasian battlefield and the war is far away from us, but we still have to maintain a high degree of vigilance and must be fully prepared! ”

Stilwell nodded: "What Mr. President said is very true, and I also think that the ambitions of the Japanese will not stop at China, if they expand and expand further, it will inevitably have a conflict of interest with our United States of America in the future!" "That's something to think about later! At least for now, Congress will not allow us to intervene in the Sino-Japanese War! Roosevelt shook his head, in fact, he has always had such worries and predictions in his heart, but as the president of the United States, he is constrained by too many restrictions, and his main task at present is to develop the economy and fulfill his campaign promises, not to go to war and become a savior!

In 1929, the Great Depression made life extremely difficult for most Americans, and President Herbert Hoover's efforts did not improve. In 1930~1933, a severe economic crisis broke out in the United States, and famine and general malnutrition occurred throughout the United States, resulting in the unnatural death of a large number of people. The most conservative estimate is that at least 8 million people starved to death, about 7% of the total U.S. population at the time.

Especially in the darkest year of 1932, there was a famine and starvation in the United States. Malnourished children, sometimes more than 90 per cent of the total, suffer from symptoms such as "drowsiness, laziness, drowsiness, and impaired mental development". Nationwide, 3.3 million children are out of school, and girls risk pregnancy to support their families and sell their bodies on the streets for 10 cents a time. Children born during this period were short in stature and later became known as the "Depression Generation".

Due to long-term malnutrition, when the United States needed to replenish a large number of soldiers to participate in World War II, 40% of them were eliminated due to unqualified physical fitness! Millions of people were saved from death only because they were willing to live like animals, eating weed roots, dandelions, violet leaves, wild onions, forget-me-nots, wild lettuce, and weeds that had always been reserved for livestock. And at a time when the people are suffering from hunger and struggling with death, let's look at what the capitalists in the United States are doing: when the workers are hungry and cold, the capitalists pour huge amounts of milk into the sea and into the Mississippi River, and they do not sell it cheaply to the poor. This is also the famous crisis of the capitalist economy in history books and political textbooks!

A large number of Americans waited in long lines outside the Soviet Museum of American History for visas, and in the end, only 100,000 American engineers and technicians immigrated to the Soviet Union. In 1932, Roosevelt was elected president of the United States, and during the election campaign, he promised the people of the whole country: if he was elected, he would implement a new policy that would completely change the status quo of the American economy and bring the United States out of the Great Depression.

In fact, Roosevelt succeeded, and he became the longest-serving president of the United States. Just as Roosevelt was deep in thought, Stilwell interrupted: "Mr. President, there is one more thing that I feel necessary to report to you!" This time I returned to China to report on my work, and there were 11 Chinese people who came back from the same ship with me, and they were the loyal subordinates of the commander of the Jiaodong Group Army, who nominally came to the United States to organize patriotic overseas Chinese to resist Japan!

But I always felt that it was not easy! Roosevelt looked at him and said, "Well, I see!" Let's wait and see what happens, the proportion of Chinese in the American population is not large, but they are a force to be reckoned with! As long as they have no bad intentions, we can still support and strengthen the anti-Japanese forces in China! ”

In 1894, Situ Meitang, a Hongmen bigwig, established An Liang Tang in Hongmen, and Roosevelt was hired as a legal adviser soon after he joined the lawyer, and the organization developed rapidly, and soon established branches in many places in the United States. Therefore, Roosevelt knew a lot about the Chinese community in the United States, and he always took the cultivation of China's great power status as his core policy!

In his China policy, Roosevelt said: "With regard to China, we have two goals: first, to effectively fight together against Japan; Second, during and after the war, in order to prepare for the establishment of international organizations and to achieve stability and prosperity in the East, China should be recognized and built into a great power with the same status as Russia, Britain, and the United States, the three powerful Western allies. Of course, Roosevelt's conception of China's status as a great power was not simply for the rise of China, it not only reflected Roosevelt's diplomatic philosophy, but more importantly, reflected the national interests of the United States.

On August 26, Zhaoyuan. After two or three days of preparation and planning, Jiang Qiang officially launched the "long-planned" rectification movement. At 9 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Qiang held a live broadcast meeting in the auditorium of Zhaoyuan County, attended by more than 2,500 important members and celebrities from all walks of life such as military, political, business, and engineering, military and civilian representatives, and newspaper reporters!

At the meeting, first of all, the work was summarized, and rich material rewards and supreme honors were given to the meritorious personnel on all fronts some time ago! Later, Jiang Qiang changed his words and sternly criticized some of the incidents of corruption and dereliction of duty, and made corresponding strict punishment decisions on the spot for relevant personnel at the meeting! The whole process of the meeting was broadcast live through the Jiaodong radio station, and after the meeting, a large number of publicity reports were carried out through various newspapers and periodicals, and a vigorous rectification movement was launched!
