On July 16, 1940, Adolf Hitler implemented the "Sea Lion Project" and the Battle of Britain began.

On July 18, Britain and Japan signed an agreement in Tokyo on the blockade of road transport in Yunnan and Burma, stipulating that from now on, it is forbidden to import ordnance, ammunition, gasoline, trucks and railway materials into China through Burma, and at the same time, "Hong Kong will also embargo goods embargoed by Burma".

France also colluded with Japan to blockade the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

Since then, the Chongqing government's war of resistance has become more and more difficult.

Even in the United States, on July 29, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wales told reporters in Washington, D.C., that "the United States is willing to relinquish its privileges in China through negotiation at the appropriate time." ”

What does that mean?

That is to say, China's interests can be exchanged, as long as Japan's parting is too ugly, the United States is willing to bargain with it!

Between countries, there are only interests! Don't talk about how noble the United States later entered the war! Any anti-alliance is a temporary alliance for the sake of interests.

Because with the development of the war, Japan tried to dominate China and then occupy Southeast Asia, they moved the cheese of the Americans, forcing the United States to stand aside, so the United States had to enter the war!

In China, the Japanese army pursued a "cage policy" of "using railways as pillars, highways as chains, and pillboxes as locks". The Japanese army built fortified positions in towns and cities along the railway, near stations, bridges, and tunnels, and garrisoned them with tens to hundreds of troops, and sent armored trains to patrol them. 10 to 15 kilometers on both sides of the railway, with a line of outlying strongholds.

At the same time, Japan comprehensively strengthened its economic blockade, military offensive, and political inducement of surrender to China, which added greater difficulties to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and some people in the Kuomintang became even more shaken, and the crisis of compromise and surrender was unprecedentedly serious.

At the darkest moment of this War of Resistance, the Great Red Party launched the Battle of the Hundred Regiments.

The Battle of the Hundred Regiments lasted for three and a half months, and the Kyushu Army mobilized 105 regiments to fight a total of 1,824 battles, killing and wounding 20,645 Japanese soldiers, 5,155 puppet soldiers, 281 Japanese soldiers and 1,407 puppet soldiers, capturing 5,942 guns and 53 cannons, destroying 474 kilometers of railways, 1,502 kilometers of highways, 213 bridges, 37 railway stations, more than 217,000 railroad tracks, and more than 1,549,000 sleepers......

The Kyushu army suffered 17,000 casualties and more than 20,000 were poisoned. According to the post-war statistics of the 129th Division alone, the combat attrition of the whole division reached 7,812.

The Battle of the Hundred Regiments dealt a blow to the Japanese army's "cage policy", delayed Japan's southward advance, dealt a heavy blow to the reactionary arrogance of the Japanese puppet army, and greatly boosted the confidence of the whole country in the War of Resistance.

Qin Di stayed in Chongqing for a few days, during which time he also met his cousin Qin Zhan.

After Qin Zhan returned from the United States, under the arrangement of his father Qin Hanxu, he entered the Chongqing Secret Telecommunications Institute, and soon entered the role and became one of the core technicians who deciphered the Japanese code.

Qin Di asked with concern: "Have you been on a blind date recently?"

Qin Zhan smiled and said, "Brother, I have met more than ten times in the past year, and I think there is a person who has a good impression." ”

Qin Di was overjoyed: "Really, can you let me see it?"

"Okay, I'll invite him over tomorrow. ”

In the evening of the next day, Qin Di saw a young man, about the same age as Qin Zhan, tall and thin, with a rectangular face, slender eyebrows, two prominent ears, a high nose, deep eye sockets, and a very energetic look.

The two sides sat down, and Yan Xue served the tea with her own hands.

Qin Di asked, "Little brother, what do you call it?"

The young man leaned forward slightly and replied, "My surname is Qian, and my name is 'Qian Leimu'." ”

Qin Di asked, "Wu Yueqian's family, who is Ling Zun?"

"My father Qian Daming. ”

Qin Di smiled slightly: "Understood." ”

As mentioned earlier, the Qian family is a big family, with many big names and five *****, so it can be seen that this is not an ordinary family.

Qian Daming once studied in Japan, and after returning to China, he started an industrial business, and is the chairman of China Industrial Trust, and the managing director of Bank of Communications and Bank of China, and is a member of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium.

Later, through continuous inquiry, Qin Di gradually learned that the Qian Leimu in front of him was Qian Daming's eldest son, who had also studied at Princeton University, and had met Qin Zhan three years ago.

Qin Hanxu and Qian Daming are both people who studied in Japan, they were friends in their early years, and both of them have good family backgrounds, and they can be regarded as good matches.

Therefore, Qin Di had a meal with Qian Leimu, and he roughly recognized this person.

After Qian Leimu left, he said to Qin Zhan: "It looks okay, the family education is good, there are not too many vices, but the body is a little thin." After getting married in the future, I will give you a prescription, boil a few more pills and take it slowly, so that you can have a chance of longevity. ”

Qin Zhan was a little shocked: "Brother, you said that his body is too weak, how old can he live if he doesn't take medicine?"

"If you don't take supplements, after the age of 60, you will be in the last years. ”

"What about me?"

"The people of our old Qin family can live to be 85 years old without taking medicine, and if we make up for it, it will be no problem to live to be 100 years old. ”

"Then you'll have to leave me a recipe, don't forget!"

Subsequently, Qin Di and Yan Xue left Chongqing and went to Shaanxi.

They inspected pharmaceutical factories and medical supplies in Xi'an, and rearranged to increase the supply of Western medicines.

Qin Di also found an opportunity to go to Pagoda Mountain at night, took out half of the weapons and ammunition stored in the Naxu gourd, and threw it in a forest at the foot of Pagoda Mountain.

The next day, the woods were cordoned off.

Several leaders got the news that a large number of weapons had fallen from the sky and could equip at least two divisions, and everyone thought it was incredible!

Looking at it again, all of them were Japanese standard weapons, with hundreds of crooked machine guns, mortars, grenadiers, and 20 mountain guns and 30 field guns......

Seeing this scene, many people were overjoyed.

"What's going on?"

"How can so many weapons appear here out of thin air? What about the troops on our periphery? What about the people standing guard? Didn't they find anything?"

"Are there really ghosts and gods in this world?"

"No, we are atheists, there are no ghosts and no gods in this world!

Anyway, this matter could not be explained, in order not to make the majority of soldiers suspicious, several leaders discussed, and simply issued a gag order, strictly sealed the news, and no one was allowed to mention it.

And this is exactly what Qin Di expected, he didn't want to make a storm in the city.

These weapons were a burden to him, and they kept pressing on the bottom of the gourd, even affecting him to sacrifice this treasure. So far, this magic weapon has not completed all the magic circles.
