On the night of December 8, 1940, Qijiang County, Garrison Headquarters

"Lao Zhao, do you remember the rumor before?" Ding Wei set his eyes on Zhao Gang.

"Lao Zhao, is there anything else I don't know these days?" Li Yunlong also became interested.

"Magistrate Xue told a small piece of news, saying that the Britons also wanted to buy your biofuel technology, saying that they were worried that Hans would use submarines to completely block their oil transportation, but then I don't know why there was no follow-up." The explanation was Ding Wei, when Xue Feng visited in an official capacity, he was also at the scene, and he thought that this matter was a temptation from the British, but he didn't want to follow up.

"They should be waiting, waiting for the first castor to be harvested and buy directly from the Shancheng government." Li Yunlong pursed his lips, he also knew a lot about the riotous operation of some people in the Shancheng government this time from the mouth of the air marshal, secretly soliciting bribes, wanting to lower prices, wanting to secretly sell planes, and even wanting to replace high-grade fuel with low-quality fuel.

"Lao Li, you probably don't know yet, it is said that the Britons also allowed the Shancheng government to send a division of troops into Burma, saying that it was to protect overseas Chinese, but I think it is also the result of an exchange of interests." Zhao Gang also synchronized the news he got from the Ministry of Social Affairs to everyone.

In fact, the division sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs was stationed in a jadeite-producing area, and Minister Chen gave them the task of mining at least 30 million oceans worth of rough stones every month, and the reason why the Britons were so happy was not a simple exchange of interests, but more still had no choice, because the military commanders had already armed tens of thousands of local tribes in northern Burma, and if they didn't let them go, it was estimated that northern Myanmar would have to change their surnames.

The sun never sets on the empire, the world's first power, in fact, is just a joke, the Britons know their details better than anyone else, as far as their strength in Southeast Asia, let alone arguing with the Japanese, even against the warlord armament of the eastern powers, there is no chance of winning at all.

Although I don't know what the Ministry of Military Affairs wants so many jade rough stones for, it would be best if they could use their interests to tie the other party to their chariots, so that they had to help them defend Myanmar, not to mention that they didn't really need to spend money on this move.

What? The troops sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs wantonly captured the locals and used them as mine slaves? No kidding, those people are not British citizens, they are just some nationalists, and for Britons, it doesn't matter how many deaths they have, not even numbers.

Even the Britons took the initiative to give the criminals in their hands to the other party for mining, without wasting their own troops, without raising them, and without worrying that these people would come out to make trouble or escape, is there a better deal in this world?

There are also people in the parliament who are worried that the Eastern Great Power will not leave, and both the military and the royal family scoff at this, and they feel that there is really no need to worry about the courage of those people in the mountain city government, as long as they can win the war in Europe, everything is still imperial.

"The Britons aren't going to get any news, are they?" Li Yunlong said suspiciously, the capital of the Britons is too big, and it is a little unexpected.

"It is very likely that the devils have been moving troops recently, and many of the old units have disappeared, and many new ones have appeared, and the number of troops is also increasing." Ding Wei nodded, although they were in the rear, the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and the Ministry of Social Affairs would regularly synchronize intelligence with them, plus the news from the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military Commander, they still had a lot of information.

"Yes, our old comrades-in-arms in Lu Province also came with news, the level of weapons and equipment of the devils is also declining, in the Ludong area, many small county garrisons do not even have a heavy machine gun, and some of the spare weapons of the troops are all gold hook rifles or something." Kong Jie added on the side, but he didn't say the words later, the combat effectiveness of the devils must have declined, and the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army has also improved, but even so, they still can't beat the devils.

In fact, many things are really incomparable, for example, devil recruits have to shoot at least 150 rounds of ammunition per month. Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army, if they dare to train like this, their ammunition reserves will bottom out in a short time, don't look at Wang Yue constantly replenishing their ammunition, but the main thing is that they have to find a way to solve it, as far as the military industrial capacity of the Eighth Route Army is really not enough, of course, these are only temporary.

"I don't understand, there is a good chance that Hans's side will continue to expand the war, but they should not be ready, the Japanese are making moves at this time, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like cooperating with Hans." Li Yunlong didn't deliberately inquire, but just by his observation, he felt that Hans's next goal was likely to be to go east, but the little devils were going south again, no, he had to go and say hello to the air marshal in this matter, so that Hans would be implicated by the little devils again, Nima, this is not worrying at all.

In fact, Li Yunlong's judgment was also reported to his superiors, as for whether he would inform the alliance, and whether the alliance would believe it or not, this was not something that he Li Yunlong could control, and he would just obey the destiny of heaven, and nine times out of ten he should not believe him in terms of the alliance's bird.

"Going north? What's there going north, that place in Siberia is colder than the four eastern provinces, and even if the little devils occupy that place, the benefits are very limited, not to mention that there are a small alliance army of one million, as long as they are not stupid, they will not go north, and now they are clamoring to go north Most of them still want to disturb the audio-visual. Ding Wei said with a smile, everyone knows that Siberia is rich in resources, but the difficulty of development is too great, the alliance itself can't do it, let alone Japan, during this period, the Japanese clamored for the north is mainly aimed at the Outer Mongolia region, Manchurian and Mongolian, which is an important part of their construction of the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle.

But in Mongolia, where can it be compared with Southeast Asia and South Asia, don't look at the Southeast Asia of later generations, but in 1940, Southeast Asia was still thriving under the management of the colonizers, and the total GDP was much more than that of the little devil, the first power in Asia.

Gold, silver. Oil, steel, rubber, none of which are necessary for war, you must know that these are now bought from bald eagles for real money. In terms of the devil's fragile economic strength, he will definitely not last long if he always buys from outside countries like this.
