Chongqing, Huangshan Villa. "Take a seat." Lin Wei walked into the study quickly and bowed slightly to Committee Jiang. "Hmm!" The chairman nodded slightly, and then asked, "How is the delegation sent by the Japanese government, has it already left Chongqing?" Although the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee really wants peace talks, he really wants to take a good breath, regain the principle of "fighting outside must first secure the inside", and suppress the attack on the increasingly powerful red regime!

However, the chairman of the NPC National Committee knew very well that now was by no means a good time for peace talks, and he must not raise the banner and brazenly engage in a "civil war." In that case, wouldn't it become the second Wang Jingwei referred to by Qianfu? Therefore, at this time, the chairman of the NPC committee must make a high posture, not only to publicly expel the Japanese delegation to express his firm stance on the war of resistance, but also to publish a newspaper tomorrow to make a big publicity.

Lin Wei replied respectfully: "If you return to the commission, the Japanese delegation has already been expelled from Chongqing. "Good!" The chairman of the committee exhaled lightly, turned his head to look at He Yingqin, who was sitting on the left, and said: "Respectfully, while Japan is sending representatives to negotiate peace, it is also assembling a large number of reserves and reserve soldiers on the mainland, what does this mean?" He Yingqin pondered for a moment and said: "Commission, since Hideki Tojo came to power to form a cabinet, the Japanese government has fully transferred to the wartime system, and now it is wantonly organizing army divisions in China, and it is obvious that there will be big moves in the near future. ”

He Yingqin had twice studied at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and had a good relationship with Japan, and in 1935 he secretly signed the "He-Mei Agreement" with Umezu Mijiro, commander of the Japanese North China Garrison. The chairman raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it specifically!" He Yingqin then said: "Humble analysis, there are two possibilities here, one is that the devil has lost patience to have a final showdown with us, and uses force as a threat to make us submit. ”

The chairman of the committee was not surprised at all, and immediately snorted coldly: "The battle has already reached this point, the Japanese are still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, if they have the ability, they can come here, I don't believe that the Chinese will really be destroyed in the hands of the Japanese!" Although the defeat in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War was completely ruined, the navy and air force were gone, and the elite of the central army was lost, but now it has basically eased up.

At this time, He Yingqin said in a hurry: "Commission, little Japan is by no means ordinary this time, the little devils have now completely transferred to the wartime system, if they are really ruthless, they can burst out with huge energy in a short period of time, and they can even form more than 200 divisions and regiments in one go, more than 5 million Japanese army!" ”

"What? More than five million Japanese Army? Hearing this, the chairman of the committee constricted his pupils, gasped in horror, and looked at He Yingqin with wide eyes: "Didn't you keep saying that the little devil's finances are depleted and the consumption is serious, and there is no way to carry out large-scale military operations?" "During the Battle of Guangdong, more than 200,000 Japanese troops were able to beat more than 800,000 elite Chinese troops all over the ground, and if 5 million devils broke out at once, this dense picture can make people shudder just thinking about it.

He Yingqin nodded and said: "Japan's military service system is very perfect, since the Meiji Restoration began to use the conscription system, and then successively established the compulsory military system and the reserve military service system, as long as the financial expenditure is sufficient, it will continue to expand into an infantry division with considerable combat effectiveness. "That's the case in theory, but it's hard to achieve in practice unless the Japanese government is really reckless!"

At this time, Bai Chongxi, who was sitting on the other side, spoke: "Because if the Japanese government really mobilizes more than 200 divisions and regiments to launch a nationwide war, even if it wins, it will be greatly damaged. "That's right." Liu Sheng nodded and agreed, "Theoretically, the Japanese government can use 5 million troops, but being able to use half of the army's strength to come to the Chinese battlefield is already their limit. ”

The chairman frowned, "What do you mean?" If that's the case, then why didn't the Japanese government go all out from the beginning, explode an army of five million at once, and directly beat Huaxia to death with a stick? If it is replaced by yourself, even if it is worth paying a big price, it is much better than the current battle line is getting longer and longer, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, right?

"Theoretically, the Japanese government can conscript five million troops, but that is only the limit of the Japanese government's war mobilization, and it is by no means just a matter of thinking about it!" "If we do that, we will have to close a lot of factories, schools will be closed, production and business activities will come to a complete standstill, and even farmland in the countryside will be barren," Bai explained. Because the workers, the teachers, the students, the peasants all took up arms and went to war. ”

At this time, Liu Sheng added: "If this is the case, even if Japan wins the war, it will not be able to recover for at least ten years." It is important to know that there are not only two countries in the world today, China and Japan, such as the Soviet Union and the United States, which are powerful potential enemies that Japan has to consider and guard against. So it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese to do this until the last moment. This time the Japanese used this as a threat, which can only show that they have exhausted their donkey skills and have lost the confidence to destroy China in a short time. ”

Bai Chongxi added again: "However, one thing that needs to be paid attention to is that the Japanese government's troops in the Chinese battlefield are currently about more than one million people, far less than half of the army that can be conscripted!" If the Japanese government gritted its teeth and recruited another million troops, the consequences would be quite serious! "Boom!" Hearing this, the chairman's heart fell again, and he said with a dark face:

"That is to say, the war potential of small Japan is still very large, and if necessary, they really have the strength to launch a war of annihilation against China? Although the final result may not be guaranteed to be won, and the national strength will be seriously damaged, at least they have the ability to start a war to destroy the country, right? Bai Chongxi nodded and said, "Yes." After the Battle of Wuhan, if Japan still had the strength to spare, it would not stop easily, but would definitely continue to fight west along the Yangtze River and directly take Chongqing, the capital of China.

However, the reality is that the Japanese army stopped the frontal offensive after capturing Wuhan, not because small Japan did not want to continue the attack, but because it really could not support it. This is because continuing to expand the front will deplete the Japanese government's financial revenues, excessively deplete Japan's war potential, and seriously affect Japan's struggle for hegemony with the Western powers. Therefore, in the end, the frontal battlefield offensive was temporarily stopped, and peace talks with the Nationalist Government were turned to try to conquer China by luring surrender. ”

"I see!" The chairman nodded and said: "Then you say that if we did not respond to the Japanese peace talks this time, will Japan be annoyed and angry and recruit another 1 million troops to Huaxia?" In that case, do we still have a chance to win? "Speaking of which, the chairman of the committee is really a little worried, he has paid the heavy price of casualties and lost one-third of the country's territory, and it is not easy to enter the stage of stalemate, and there is no major war, so he can breathe a sigh of relief.

If the devil suddenly increases his army by 1 million, the consequences will definitely be very serious, and it is really possible to lose the country! Bai Chongxi replied very seriously: "Don't worry, how can the Chinese people be destroyed by Little Japan!" 50 divisions and 1 million people, it does sound a little scary, but in the vast territory of China, this is actually not much. Even if the pressure will increase a lot and the situation will become very serious, it will never collapse on all fronts, and we can continue to maintain a tug-of-war with the Japanese army!

In addition, it should be said that the Japanese troops relied heavily on roads, railways, and river navigation for food, drink, and ammunition. As the Japanese front became longer and longer, especially as the Japanese advanced to the southwest and rear, these materials were easily attacked by our guerrillas during transportation. The loss of materials by the Japanese army in the process of transportation may even exceed the loss of the front line, and even if Japan switches to the wartime system, it will not last long! ”

After a pause, Bai Chongxi said with a smile: "What's more, in the hinterland of the Japanese-occupied area, there is also Jiang Qiang, Wang Yizhe of the three eastern provinces and General Tang Juwu of Shanghai, and the Shandong Group Army under his command alone is enough to contain the devil forces of 10 divisions and regiments!" ”

"That's fine!" The chairman of the committee breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a little envy, jealousy, and hatred: "Niang Xipi, I heard from Yunong that Jiang Qiang has purchased no less than 300 of the latest American P-38 heavy fighters in the past few months. And the price of this fighter is as high as 115,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to 4 times the price of the P-40C fighter we bought!

I really don't know how he got that much money and how he transported it to Shandong? Didn't the little devils already block the shipping routes a long time ago? Speaking of this, the chairman of the committee is really bitter, although he can get a lot of dividends from the United States Dongxing Trading Company every quarter, but he still feels a drop in the bucket. I know that the United States has a lot of advanced weapons and equipment, but it is really shy in the pocket, and I can only look at it, where is it as heroic as Jiang Qiang.

"I don't know!" Bai Chongxi shook his head, he also wanted to know what was famous in this. After a pause, Bai Chongxi said jokingly: "Shandong has been run into an independent kingdom by Jiang Qiang, and there are many secrets hidden, according to Jiang Qiang's family background in the United States, it is impossible that they have already imported aircraft production lines!" ”

The chairman's pupils suddenly constricted, and he glared at Bai Chongxi and asked, "Jiansheng, is this true?" Can Jiang Qiang really produce fighters? And the most advanced American P-38 fighter? "Ahem! This is just a bold speculation on my part! Bai Chongxi couldn't help but cough lightly, he really just wanted to make a joke just now, but he didn't expect the chairman to take it seriously.

But Bai Chongxi looked back and thought that Jiang Qiang could always do something unexpected, and he had been slapped in the face many times, this kind of speculation that seemed absurd may really already exist. After a pause, Bai Chongxi said in an uncertain tone: "This is difficult to say, according to previous experience, Jiang Qiang has always done things without making a sound. As the committee said, at present, the Shandong region has been surrounded by devils, except that they can make their own, I really can't imagine how they get the latest fighter jets from the United States! ”

At this time, the chairman suddenly remembered something, shook his head again and again, and said, "No! On the American side, our people have seen a large number of planes and weapons loaded onto ships, but they have no way of knowing how their weapons and equipment were transported to Shandong! What's more, Americans are not fools, they have always protected their core interests extremely tightly, and there is absolutely no reason to sell these hens that lay golden eggs! ”

Seeing that it was not a big deal, He Yingqin interjected at this time: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, I have heard that Jiang Qiang has attracted a lot of professionals over the years, and even the Americans have invited a lot of them to Shandong." Who knows if they've made a name for themselves? For example, isn't the chemical factory, the plastic factory, the TV factory, and the PHS mobile phone a good proof of this?

These are not very advanced and powerful things on our side, but Jiang Qiang has the ability to build them! "Well, there's a lot of truth to that!" The chairman nodded again and again, and then said to Lin Wei: "Hurry up and send a telegram to Yan Ji, let him personally ask, such a national heavy weapon, if they can produce it themselves, it would be great!" "Okay, take a seat!" Lin Wei nodded, but muttered in his heart: Even if Jiang Qiang can produce his own aircraft, I'm afraid it won't be given to the Nationalist Government in vain, right?

The chairman turned his head to look at He Yingqin and said, "By the way, did you say two possibilities just now, and what is the other possibility?" He Yingqin replied: "Another possibility is that the Japanese will either join forces with Germany to attack the Soviet Union, or attack Southeast Asia to absorb more war resources, such as oil and rubber, which are most scarce in Japan!" "Flanking the Soviet Union? Attacking Southeast Asia? ”

The chairman of the committee raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for a while, he looked at everyone unconfidently: "It seems that this is not a bad thing for us, but a great thing!" Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "Wisely, whether it is attacking the Soviet Union or Southeast Asia, the Japanese will offend a powerful enemy." Although the Soviet Union has been defeated by the Germans and lost millions of troops, the Soviet Union still has heavy troops in the Far East, which is not so easy to fight!

An attack on Southeast Asia will certainly provoke US intervention, and the United States will change its neutral stance and provide a steady stream of military aid to China. After a pause, Bai Chongxi said in a confident tone: "I deduce that it is more likely that the Japanese will attack south, because Japan is an extremely ambitious nation, and they should not give up the best war dividends in order to cooperate with Germany!" ”

"That would be great!" As long as the United States is involved in a war, the government of the Republic of China will be able to take a good seat under the big tree and continue to receive advanced American-style equipment and massive strategic materials. Moreover, the powerful industrial strength of the United States will be transformed into military strength in a short period of time, so that it will launch a direct military attack on Japan, and the situation of the war in China will soon be reversed.

However, at this time, Bai Chongxi said very incongruously: "The Japanese are now accumulating strength, if they really attack south, they will definitely cut off the external passage of China in advance." In other words, the Yunnan-Burma Highway, which is currently difficult for us to survive, will be the priority military target of the Japanese army, and most of them will attack Burma as soon as possible.

In that case, it will really be a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and even if the United States wants to intervene and want military assistance to China, I am afraid we will not be able to receive it! "Niang Xipi, the little devil won't really be so bad, right? In that case, wouldn't we have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth! "The chairman of the committee began to worry again, if the little devils continue to obtain war resources from Southeast Asia, and at the same time cut off the last life channel in China, the war situation in China will completely collapse in a few years.

Bai Chongxi said in a deep voice: "What we can think of, the little devil must also be able to think of, the devil must have a big plan to form so many new army divisions." Once we really attack southward, we will inevitably attack Burma and cut off our life supply lines to prevent us from colluding with the United States to disrupt the layout! So I think we can think about it now. ”

He Yingqin frowned lightly and said, "Jiansheng, do you mean that if the little devil officially goes south to attack, we will organize an expeditionary force to fight the little devil abroad?" ”

Bai Chongxi asked rhetorically, "Otherwise? Can we still count on General Tang Juwu and the British to help us defend Burma and the lifeline to the outside world? "During the Sino-Japanese War, transportation was crucial for China to obtain military assistance from the Allies. During this period, there were six external communication lines in China, namely: South China Line, Northwest Line, Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, Yunnan-Burma Highway, "Hump" Route, and China-India Highway.

With the deepening of the Japanese invasion and the changes in the world situation, the South China Line and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway lost their role successively. The Northwest Route, especially the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the "Hump" route, and the China-India Highway became key during the Anti-Japanese War. Among them, the "Hump" route and the China-India Highway have not yet been opened, so the Yunnan-Burma Highway is currently the only external transportation channel in China.

"What a headache!" The chairman of the committee stroked his forehead, now the domestic war of resistance is very tight, but now he has to consider the formation of an expeditionary force, thinking about it, I feel that one head is two big! At this time, Liu Sheng said with a smile: "Actually, it won't be so bad, once Japan attacks Southeast Asia on a large scale, it means that it will completely offend Britain and the United States."

If it had really come at that time, the US military aid would have arrived a long time ago, and with sophisticated American-style weapons and equipment, it would not have suffered too much to fight with the Japanese devils! What's more, there are a large number of Western troops stationed in India, Luzon and other places, presumably they will not sit idly by, and they should be able to play a big role! ”

"I hope so!" The chairman of the committee sighed lightly: The amount of information at today's meeting is too large, and we have to take a good look at it.

The time quickly entered the middle of November, and the cold winter was coming step by step. In the past two months or so, the domestic battlefield in China has been relatively calm, and there have been no major battles, except for the air force, which has been fighting sporadically with the devil air force, the Shandong Group Army defense area has been quietly in other aspects!

However, the Soviet-German battlefield was magnificent, the German thunderbolt and lightning were like bamboos, and the Soviet army was defeated and retreated with heavy casualties. So far, the German army has penetrated nearly 2,000 kilometers into the border of the Soviet Union, and the three front armies, more than 300 divisions and more than 3 million troops on the southwest border have been surrounded and annihilated by the German army! At present, the German army has concentrated about 1.93 million people in 74 and a half divisions, supported by 1,700 tanks and 11,000 artillery pieces, with the intention of seizing Moscow.

Having lost so many troops at once, and the capital was seriously threatened, the Soviet Union could not bear it. It had to be reinforced, from the Far East, to the west. Therefore, the strength of the Soviet troops in the Far East did not appear to have decreased on the surface. The war in the Soviet Union was tight, and it was defeated by Germany and suffered heavy losses, but the Japanese government did not fall into the trap and went north to launch a war against the Soviet Union according to Germany's note.

Because the Japanese government knew very well that even if they attacked the Soviet Union in the north according to Germany's demands, even if they destroyed the Soviet Union, they would only get the cold Far East, and the benefits would be very limited. What the Japanese government wanted most was for Germany and the Soviet Union to lose both, and for them to go south to defeat the US Navy's Pacific Fleet and then occupy Southeast Asia, seizing the rich resources and huge war dividends of Southeast Asia.

In the past period, the Shandong Group Army and the small Japanese air force engaged in a three-month game, fighting more than 80 times, and shooting down 106 Japanese fighters at the cost of losing 52 P-38 heavy fighters and 6 P-51D Mustang fighters. Thanks to the home advantage and defensive capability, although the Flying Tigers have lost a total of 58 fighters, only 15 pilots have died heroically.

In addition, after a long period of actual combat against the enemy, a large number of recruits of the Flying Tigers have grown rapidly, and the overall combat effectiveness of the Tigers has been significantly improved. At the same time, the little devil gained a lot of gains, although he lost hundreds of fighters, but he quickly trained a large number of excellent pilots, and had a clear understanding of the performance of the P-38 heavy fighter.

After Li Jinglin and the two left, Jiang Qiang turned his head to look at Huang Hong and said: "The security department and confidential department of the aircraft factory will be under your direct jurisdiction for a period of time, and you must smooth out the work as soon as possible, build the backbone organization of the department, and improve and complete various security and confidentiality rules and regulations!" Huang Hong immediately saluted: "Please rest assured that the general seat will complete the task!" Jiang Qiang nodded and said, "Well, there are still 9 hours before the equipment enters the site, and now you can work according to the deployment." ”

"Humble resignation!" Huang Hong nodded slightly, turned around and left. After arranging all the work, Jiang Qiang's mood was completely relaxed, and he looked down and saw that it was already eleven o'clock. There was nothing urgent in his hand for the time being, so Jiang Qiang didn't bother to continue to work, stood up and stretched, and walked quickly to the parking lot on the first floor.

After having a full lunch at noon, Jiang Qiang was about to go back to the bedroom to take a nap, but unexpectedly, Chen Bui took Chen Lian to visit. As soon as he saw Chen Lian, An Ran jumped up and ran to him and said, "Sister Chen, you came just in time, my husband has recently bought a few new good-looking movies from the United States, let's go and see them together?" ”

Although An Ran is not yet 23 years old, he is about the same size as 20-year-old Chen Lian, and at first glance he looks like peers, but now the two of them are alumni, so the relationship is very good. "Good! All right! Chen Lian smiled and nodded, the reason why she loved to visit Jiangfu was that there were many advanced household appliances and new songs and new films that were not available on the market in Jiangfu.

"Director Chen, please come with me to the study!" Jiang Qiang naturally knew that Chen Bui had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and after Chen Lian and An Ran walked away, he led Chen Bui to the study. "Okay!" Chen Bui hurriedly followed. He personally made a good pot of tea for Chen Bui, and then Jiang Qiang smiled and said, "Director Chen, I don't know if you have any advice for this visit?" ”

"Don't dare! Can't! Chen Bui arched his hands, and then said with a smile: "How dare you say advice, I took the liberty to visit Commander Jiang this time, because I wanted to ask Commander Jiang for help because of some difficult things!" Jiang Qiang said with a smile: "Director Chen, we are all old friends, if you have anything, just ask, as long as you can help, I will never shirk!" ”

"Thank you Commander Jiang for raising me, in the past two years, thanks to Commander Jiang's care, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today!" Chen Bui is not talking in the scene, but really grateful to Jiang Qiang, it is precisely because of Jiang Qiang's deliberate promotion that he has been highly valued by the chairman, and he is extremely well treated in Zhaoyuan, not only living in a mansion and driving a luxury car, but also has a high social status! After a pause, Chen Bui went straight to the point and said, "Commander Jiang Qiang, I heard that you have recently imported a large number of the most advanced P-38 heavy fighters from the United States?" I don't know if there is such a thing? ”
