Jiang Qiang no longer paid attention to the affairs of the Burmese military at this time, and Jiang Qiang knew that it would be impossible for the Japanese to come to Burma to kill the wilderness. Because the general environment does not allow, Jiang Qiang is bent on building his own kingdom of Burma, and now the whole world is in chaos, that is, China is relatively quiet here, and the Red Party has not turned against the Nanjing government, Wang Yizhe handed over Liaoning and Jining in the northeast to the Red Party to manage, and all the troops in Heilongjiang withdrew from these two provinces, Wang Yizhe also gave a way to the Japanese army, the Japanese did not want to fight the Soviet Union, Wang Yizhe became Shihara Guaner.

Xia Qing in northern Hebei and the Eighth Route Army also controlled all the counties except Beiping and Tianjin, Jiang Qiang was deliberately helping the Red Party, and the Nanjing government had no choice, plus Qin Siyu This guy himself is the Red Party, and now the military factory in Yunwu Mountain is basically the military factory of the Red Party. An Ran also went to Shanghai from Yunwu Mountain to find Tingting, there is no way to call Tingting the boss. An Ran is angry belly is not angry, there is no movement until now, Chen Mingzhu became popular as soon as he hit it, and licked Jiang Qiang a little boy, Yuko Kitajima is also helping Jiang Qiang take care of intelligence work with a big belly at this time, and if he doesn't go, he will have no chance.

And that Xia Qing has no choice, he is a member of the Red Party, and he is embarrassed to leave if he wants to, in addition to Yan'an's attention to himself, now in northern Hebei, he is relying on himself to pull relations with Jiang Qiang, the Red Party has already sent Qin Siyu to their navy at this time is stepping up practice, where is Zhuang Tao in Shandong presiding over the overall situation, and the Red Party has not interfered in Zhuang Tao's management, and also requires the county managed by the Red Party to obey Zhuang Tao's management. Now Shandong can be said to be the richest provincial capital in the country, Zhuang Tao is also an old antique, and the annual tax paid to the Nanjing government has reached more than 40% of the Nanjing government. The chairman of the NPC National Committee also personally came to Shandong to see how Zhuang Tao managed Shandong.

After discovering this situation, the Red Party did not lag behind, and sent a large number of party members to Shandong to learn Shandong's management model. Zhuang Tao was already the object of the two parties at this time,

Yangon, Headquarters of the Governor of the Burma Theater of Operations. "What? Little Japan declared war on the USSR? The Kwantung Army began to attack the Far East? Damn, it's all messed up, can you still play happily? When he first received the relevant news, Jiang Qiang was stunned on the spot, although he had expected it for a long time, but when this speculation became a reality, it was another matter. Stilwell's brows furrowed, and he sighed worriedly: "This Soviet government is really worse now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support it anymore, right?" ”

Li Zongren nodded and agreed: "Yes, the Soviet Union was already hanging by a thread, and there was only the last breath left, and now it is really completely finished, I'm afraid the gods can't save them when they come!" ”

Chen Zhengnian looked at Jiang Qiang and asked softly: "Boss, is the Soviet Union really finished like this?" Doesn't that mean that we will soon face an attack by the German-Japanese forces? In that case, can we stop it? As soon as he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, Huzi, who was standing on the side, clicked and lit the lighter. Well, let's take Huazi to suppress the shock first! ”

Igniting Huazi, Jiang Qiang took a deep breath, and after exhaling a long smoke ring, he hummed softly: "What are you anxious about, what are you afraid of, the sky will not fall so easily!" ”

Seeing Jiang Qiang's unflustered appearance, Stilwell's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked with a smile: "Jiang, do you have any different opinions, are you saying that the Soviet Union still has a chance to continue to hold on?" ”

Stilwell's main starting point for such concern and anxiety was naturally the success or failure of the entire Allied camp and the current interests of the United States, and by no means he was really full of favor and identification with this huge red regime.

"Whether the USSR will completely perish because of this, only God knows! I'm not a god, I can be a prophet! But don't worry, the USSR will not perish anytime soon! ”

The development trajectory of the current time and space has been detached from the basic disk, how does Jiang Qiang know if the Soviet Union will turn the tables against the wind like another time and space, and then become a superpower that makes the US imperialists tremble!

But one thing is certain, that is, the Soviet Union will never fall easily, because he Jiang Qiang can send warmth to the Soviet Union through Heilongjiang to forcibly continue his life.

With the bloody nature and tenacity of the fighting nation, as long as the war resources are sufficient, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and there is no shortage of weapons and equipment, then it is really not so simple for the Germans to destroy the Soviet Union.

From this point alone, Jiang Qiang really admires the Soviets, during World War II, there were so many casualties, and in the end, even women went to the battlefield on a large scale, but they became stronger and stronger, and in the end the total number of troops reached 12 million!

As for the Japanese, Jiang Qiang could conclude that they would not easily go to the European battlefield to join the Germans in waging a war of annihilation against the Soviet Union. The best thing the Japanese would like to see is a lose-lose situation and then go peach picking, and the most likely thing for them now is to annex the Far East first, and then stop and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Even if the ambitious Ishihara Wan'er remained in power, it would be impossible to continue the offensive, because there were still a few months before the harsh winter came! After a pause, Jiang Qiang continued: "In addition, there is one thing I can be sure of, that is, our Burma theater is temporarily safe, and we can have a long period of stable development. Stilwell raised his eyebrows and said, "Jiang, do you mean that the Japanese have temporarily abandoned their attack on Burma?" Didn't the previous intelligence show that the Japanese army was forming new divisions on a large scale in Korea and Taiwan, and it seemed that they were going to be sent to the Burma theater? ”

Jiang Qiang smiled and said, "General Stilwell, do you think that little Japan will be stupid enough to send all these newly formed soldiers to the Burma Theater to fight us?" In this case, what is the difference between giving away a head? "This! Jiang, what do you mean? Stilwell was asked, he really hadn't thought about these questions before, and the main reason was that he was used to supporting roles, anyway, Jiang Qiang was in front of him in the war, he just needed to coordinate the relationship and deal with the distribution of materials or something.

Jiang Qiang nodded and said: "The little devil is not stupid, although these servants are used as artillery fire, they will not feel distressed, but a large number of weapons and equipment will be distressed." They massively formed new divisions from Taiwan and North Korea, and there is no doubt that they will go to the Korean battlefield to replace the old units, especially the elite of the Kwantung Army, as they did last time! ”

"Even!" Stilwell suddenly shouted, "I see! Now that the Kwantung Army is fighting with the Soviet Union, the Kwantung Army cannot be replaced, and the Japanese government can only stabilize the defense line in Thailand first, and will not continue to attack in the short term, right? "That's right, that's it!" Jiang Qiang nodded, then looked at Chen Zhengnian, Chang Yuan, Meng Wu'an and other senior generals and said:

"However, we still can't afford to slack off, the next war situation may be even worse, we must grow ourselves as quickly as possible! You don't have to worry about money, food, weapons and equipment, just recruit me and train elite soldiers! "Understood!" "That's a must!" "Don't worry, Mr. Zongza, we are training all the time, and there will never be the slightest slack!" Chen Zhengnian and others patted their chests and responded loudly.

At this time, Jiang Qiang looked at Li Zongren and said: "Brother Delin, the army building in Guangxi should also be stepped up, and after the situation in Myanmar is completely stabilized, I plan to start from Guangxi and the Shandong Peninsula to launch a final battle against the devils in Taiwan and Hong Kong!"

Strive to play a staged victory and regain as much lost ground as possible! "On this side of Southeast Asia, Jiang Qiang will only take a defensive position and keep the territory of Myanmar, and will never take the initiative to attack the Japanese invaders in Thailand and the Malay Peninsula, because even if those places are defeated, they will not belong to themselves, and there is no need to consume troops at all! Li Zongren nodded confidently and said: "Don't worry, you will definitely not make a mistake, the progress in Guangxi is very smooth, whether it is army training or defense system construction, it will be reborn in half a year at most!" ”

Li Zongren is not in Guangxi, but he is very well-informed in all aspects, and he already knows very clearly that in the past few months, earth-shaking changes are taking place in Guangxi. Not only are coastal defense lines being built at a very fast pace, but a large number of factories and enterprises have sprung up in various counties and cities, and the economy and people's livelihood are rapidly improving.

As for the recruitment and training of troops, not to mention, the strong man is a big handful, as long as he is willing to spend money and smash equipment, at most he will train for a year and a half, and hundreds of thousands of elite wolf soldiers will be available. "Well, that's fine! Taking advantage of the devil's stubborn efforts with the Soviets, let's develop as soon as possible! Jiang Qiang smiled and nodded, no matter how the world situation changes, as long as he has enough strength, no one will be worthwhile! Well, don't panic when you have food in your hands!

Tak Province, Thailand, General Headquarters of the Burmese Dispatch Army. Ninji Okamura, Hyotaro Kimura, Shoji Iida, Haruki Isayama and other devils are gathering to discuss and conceive the defense of Thailand. Although Hirohito and the Japanese army base camp were still fantasizing about counterattacking Burma and destroying the industrial areas of northern Burma, after Okamura Ninji took office, after some specific understanding and deduction, he decisively gave up this fantasy and began to focus on reality to study how to defend against the possible large-scale attack of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

In Okamura's view, the most realistic goal of the Burmese army at present is not to counterattack Burma to find a new ground, but to hold Thailand, and then the Indochinese Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula. Because only in this way can we contain the counterattack of the allied camp with Burma as the forward base, and can we ensure the security of the Philippines, the East Indies, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. As for the high hopes of the Japanese emperor and the base camp, Okamura Ninji can only say that he has more than enough heart but not enough strength, and the top priority is to stop the loss in time and stabilize the position is the most realistic.

After carefully studying the map and checking the relevant information, Okamura Ninji finally had a more complete idea of Thailand's defense deployment, and his face gradually became relaxed.

Kimura Hyotaro, who was discussing with Iida Shojiro and others on the side, quickly noticed the change in Okamura Ninji's expression, and asked with a little curiosity: "Your Excellency, General, do you already have a complete defense deployment concept?" "Shw! I did have a preliminary idea! Okamura Ninji grinned, then pushed his heavy glasses and said, "However, this project is very huge, and it will cost a lot of manpower, material resources, and time.

But you get what you pay for, and as long as this defense system is fully built, whether it is the Chinese Expeditionary Force or the future Allied Coalition Forces, we can keep it out to ensure the security of the Indochinese Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula. "Oh?" "Your Excellency, please speak up!" Hyotaro Kimura, Shojiro Iida and others turned their heads to look at the confident Okamura Ninji, with a strong sense of admiration and curiosity in their emojis.

I have to say that Okamura Ninji still has a very charismatic and prestige personality, and in a short period of time, he has won the trust and respect of Kimura Hyotaro and others. "Look here!" Okamura Ninji smiled very much, and then pointed to the map of Thailand on the table and said:

"Thailand is the roof of India in the north, known as Laos, 80% of the territory is mountainous and plateau, and most of it is covered by forests, the transportation is extremely inconvenient, not to mention the railway, not even a decent road. If the Chinese Expeditionary Force attacks from here, they can only use infantry and cannot carry any heavy equipment, so in this direction, it does not need to spend too much energy, only need to build some more permanent fortifications on the border line to deal with the threat. ”

"Needless to say, in the east and south of Thailand, there are the Imperial Southern Dispatch Army and the Imperial Navy coordinating the guards, and the security in these two directions is guaranteed." "Our most critical defensive area is the more than 300-kilometre-long Thai-Myanmar border in the west, which runs from Chiang Rai through Chiang Mai to Myawaddy." "Most of the more than 300-kilometer-long border is high mountains and dense primeval jungles, and there are not many offensive routes that the Chinese Expeditionary Force can deploy on a large scale. It stands to reason that we only need to hold a few key points to deal with it, but given the strong offensive and breakthrough capabilities of Jiang Qiang's Burmese army, we must be prepared for everything and not take it lightly. ”

Speaking of this, Okamura Ninji said in a paused tone: "So I think it is necessary for us to mobilize enough manpower to build enough large bunkers and small sub-forts in this area that is more than 300 kilometers long and more than 100 kilometers deep. Thousands of kilometers of underground fortifications could be built to connect with each other, which would turn the entire western Thai-Burmese border into a steel fortress, keeping Jiang Qiang's army and the allied forces out of the country, and ensuring the security of the entire Indochinese Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula! ”

"This project is really huge, it's really a huge idea!" "If it can be built successfully, it can really make a big difference, at least there is no need to worry about the threat from the direction of Myanmar!" "It's just that the amount of work is too large, so how much time, money, and material resources will it take?"

"Your Excellency General, will His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp do the same?" "Yes, I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor is still counting on us to create a miracle and counterattack Burma as soon as possible!" "Hey, presumably His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't agree to us spending so much money to build a defensive line, would he?" Kimura Hyotaro, Iida Shojiro and others agreed with Okamura Ninji's defense deployment concept, but as they spoke, the building was crooked, and everyone began to think of the same question involuntarily.

"This, indeed, is a big problem." Okamura Ningji also frowned, obviously, as everyone said, the next most critical issue is how to let the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor recognize the reality, instead of blindly fighting with the Chinese Expeditionary Force. However, at this time, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and then a devil communication staff officer walked quickly to the door, came to Okamura Ningji and said with an excited expression: "Your Excellency the General, Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff, the Japanese Empire has officially declared war on the Soviet Union!" ”

"Nani?" "The Reich declared war on the USSR?" "How could it be so sudden?" "What the hell is going on?" Okamura Ninji, Kimura Hyotaro, Iida Shojiro and others were all stunned. Not to mention that the Burmese issue was to be resolved first, why did it suddenly start a fight with the Soviet Union? The empire is really so awesome now, and it dares to fight the Soviet Union at this juncture, can it really be a one-on-five one?

Without the support of the elite troops of the Kwantung Army, how can Burma fight? Everyone couldn't help but think about it, and all kinds of thoughts flashed wildly in their minds, this thunder exploded so suddenly and amazingly that there was no warning beforehand. "Hay, this is true! His Majesty the Emperor is giving a radio speech. The devil staff officer hurriedly stepped forward and turned on the radio.

Immediately after that, Hirohito's voice came over the radio: "The Soviet Union supported the remnants of the regime, contributed to the chaos in East Asia, and in the name of peace, fulfilled its ambition to dominate the East, and then colluded with other countries to build up its armament around the empire......"

"The Japanese Empire will win this battle, and the Soviet Union is completely finished!" After listening to the radio, Okamura Ninji spit out a few words very excitedly, although he was thousands of miles away, he was still very clear about the situation in the Far East. At the same time, Okamura Ninji also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Union were fighting, and the attention of the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor was naturally all attracted to it, and the Burmese side naturally couldn't fight.

Kimura Hyotaro looked up at Okamura Ninji and asked, "Your Excellency, is the Soviet Union really finished this time?" "Well, it's really over, there will be no more accidents this time!" Okamura Ninji nodded affirmatively and said: "On the Soviet-German battlefield, the Soviet army has long been beaten and cannot raise its head, and can only barely support it, and any small deterioration will make the Soviet Union irreversible." This all-out attack by the Imperial Kwantung Army was not only a small deterioration for the Soviet Union, but also a situation of Mount Tai overwhelming, and the Soviet Union lost the food supply and industrial material supply in the Far East, and it will no longer be able to continue to survive! ”

Kimura Hyotaro frowned and said, "But unfortunately, the Soviet Union's rapid demise was not a good thing for the Japanese Empire. "Kimura-kun, why did you say that?" Okamura frowned, and then said: "The demise of the Soviet Union, whether it is for the empire itself, or for the entire Axis Alliance, is a great thing!

Because in this way, the balance of power between the Axis and the Allies will take a major turn, and although the Allies still have a great advantage in navy, the Axis will have a large advantage in land and air power. "At that time, the Axis Alliance will have far more war resources and war potential than the Allied camp, and as long as there are no problems within the Axis Alliance, it will always be invincible!"

"Your Excellency General, as you just said, I'm afraid that there will be problems within the alliance." Kimura Hyotaro shook his head and retorted: "The German army has occupied almost the entire European continent, as well as most of the African continent, and its strength has become unprecedentedly strong. If they had merged with the Soviet Union so quickly, they would have access to even more war resources, and the balance of power within the Axis would naturally be seriously out of proportion.

Faced with such a huge disparity in power, how could the Germans be willing to maintain a parity with the Reich? At this time, Iida Shojiro nodded and interjected, "Yes, I have the same concern about this. Presumably, His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp also thought so, otherwise how could it have been delayed until now before suddenly declaring war on the Soviet Union? "Yes, the fact that the Soviet Union was destroyed by the Germans so quickly is really not a good thing for the Reich!"

Several other high-ranking generals also nodded their heads in agreement. In the face of great interests, human nature is the most untested thing, let alone between countries. Okamura Ninji frowned, and he was powerless to refute the general argument of Kimura Hyotaro and others, because he also had such worries.

However, then again, compared to the defeat of the Axis Alliance by the Allies and the loss of Japan's national fortunes, Okamura Ninji would rather choose the Axis Alliance to win a big victory and Japan to become a vassal of Germany! Because Okamura Ninji knows very well that the Japanese Empire has gone farther and farther on the road to death, and there is no way back at all, once the war is lost, even if it will not really destroy the country and extinct the species, it will only be the loss of sovereignty and the prisoner of the ranks, and it will be difficult for the Yamato nation to turn over!

However, these things are too far away, and even if Okamura Ninji can see it, he doesn't have the ability to control it, at most it's just a blind worry. Pskov, an ancient city in northwestern Russia. With a loud train whistle, a special special train slowly pulled into Pskov Station, 250 kilometers southwest of Leningrad. As soon as the train came to a stop, Field Marshal Wilhelm Ritter von Loeb, commander-in-chief of the German Army Group North, who had been waiting at the station for a long time, walked briskly to the open train car door.

After getting on the train and passing through the layers of sentry posts, Loeb finally saw the gray-faced Führer, and immediately solemnly saluted a standard arm. After the Führer returned the salute, he roared in a fierce tone: "I gave you two whole armies, two air squadrons, and gave you the opportunity and glory to occupy the second capital of the Bolsheviks, but you stopped your pace in front of a line of defense temporarily organized by the Russian people, which is simply a disgrace to yourself and a disgrace to the Third Reich, you have disappointed me so much!" ”

The 65-year-old Marshal Loeb blushed, and did not explain the reason, but bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Führer, Army Group North is blocked on the banks of the Luga River, and it is indeed my responsibility to take Petersburg as scheduled according to your plan!" Petersburg, also known as Leningrad, was the "window of Europe" of Russia established by Peter the Great in 1703 and was the capital of the vast Russian Empire for more than 200 years, the birthplace of the October Revolution, and was renamed Leningrad after Lenin's death in 1924.

With the advance of German tanks and the fall of Moscow, the Soviet Union has urgently mobilized millions of Leningrad residents over the past few months to build three lines of defense around Leningrad day and night. The outermost of them is centered on the city of Luga, starting from Simsk on the west bank of Lake Ilmen in the south, along the Luga River, and reaching the Luga River estuary in the north, Jinisepp, with a total length of about 300 kilometers, and four infantry divisions and three militia divisions are deployed on this defense line.

Considering that the combat effectiveness of the Finnish army in the northern direction was relatively weak, Voroshilov transferred 6 divisions and 1 brigade from the Northern Front to strengthen the defense of the Luga line. After the capture of Pskov by the German Army Group North, its main forces, led by Reinhardt's 41st Panzer Army, continued to attack along the Luga-Leningrad axis; Manstein's 56th Panzer Corps made a detour to the east.

The Soviets put up desperate resistance on the Luga Line and launched a powerful attack on the flank of Manstein's 56th Panzer Corps, which was alone to the east, driving it back. Up to now, the German Army Group North and the Soviet army were deadlocked on the Luga River line, and the pace of progress was very slow, and it was completely impossible to capture Leningrad as scheduled.

In a fit of rage, the German Führer "drove his own expedition" and personally took a special train to the front line to supervise the battle, and as soon as they met, there was a burst of reprimands and scolding, completely ignoring that the other party was a 65-year-old old handsome.

"I'm not here to admit my mistakes to you, nor have I come to ask for my guilt!" In the face of Loeb's sincere apology, the Führer was still very dissatisfied, waved his hand and said: "The Russians now have their last breath left, the Third Reich must take advantage of the victory to pursue, and must not be given another chance to breathe, we must completely destroy Russia before the next harsh winter comes, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Of course I understand, my Führer!" Loeb replied loudly: "Rest assured, the Führer will take Petersburg as quickly as possible, and I assure you that the Russians will never be given another chance to survive this winter, and that the final victory will only belong to the Third Reich." "That's what I want! Just remember the principle that no matter what the cost, you must take Petersburg within 10 days, capture and destroy the city! ”

The Führer waved his trembling left hand and said in a murderous voice: "As for the aftermath of Petersburg, we must not be merciful, we must make every Russian tremble with fear!" We need to trample under the feet of the meaningless laws of the old world, the Judeo-Christian traditions of the old world.

We don't need Russia, we don't need either hostile Russia or friendly Russia, we just need a land of the East. Therefore, we will never accept the surrender of either Petersburg or the Russians, you must make them come to naught, turn them into dust, and let them disappear from the face of the earth. ”
