Chapter 1636 Facts Slap in the Face

After listening to Zhong Yi's explanation, the entire conference room suddenly became silent.

After all, except Zhong Yi, none of the people here belong to time travelers, so there is a lack of the most basic imagination of the severe situation described by Zhong Yi.

In the eyes of these senior generals, the United States is a world power after all, and Britain is even a superpower with unparalleled military strength. How could their army be as unbearable as Zhong Yi said? It is impossible.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Chen Shi said with a pretentious understanding: "I understand Ziren's mood, I am just worried about the only life passage on the Yunnan-Burma Highway. But then again, I don't believe that the Japanese army can have such strong combat effectiveness and can wipe out Southeast Asia in such a short time, defeat the US Army stationed in the bandits of the Laws, the British troops stationed in Malaysia, Singapore and Borneo."

"Yes, I don't believe it very much." He Yingpei shook his head and said, "This is simply impossible."

"It's impossible?" Zhong Yi asked, "General He, how long did the British troops in the Shanghai Public Concession resist? Is it eight hours? It seems that it's less than four hours?"

Just two days ago, the day after the Japanese Navy had sneaked attacks on Pearl Harbor, the 13th Army and the 21st Army launched an attack on Shanghai and Hong Kong at the same time. The British army in the Shanghai Public Concession only resisted it for less than four hours before directly announcing the surrender of Liu, which was so embarrassing that it would be thrown to grandma's house.

"This cannot be compared." He Yingpei said a little embarrassedly, "Shanghai has long become an isolated island, and the number of British troops in the public concession is also small, so it is completely reasonable to lose the battle."

"It's not surprising that the defeat in the war is just four hours!" Zhong Yi said sneered, "And as far as I know, the Japanese army used to attack the public concession to only half a brigade of infantry, but the British army stationed in the public concession had at least one regiment of more than one thousand people. If the armed merchant regiment was added, there were more than five thousand people! However, what was the result?"

"A British army with just one charge, a total of one regiment was defeated by the Japanese army!"

"This..." He Yingpei was speechless. He really couldn't find any words to beautify the British army's performance.

Still Chen Shi said: "This is just a small-scale battle, just an exception and cannot explain the problem."

"Yes, President Chen is right. This is just a small-scale battle. It is an exception and cannot explain the problem." Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Then the battle between Japan, Britain and Hong Kong can always explain some problems, right?"

"That's certainly." Chen Shi said, "The Japanese army has enough troops to attack Hong Kong, and the British troops stationed in Hong Kong have more than 10,000. This is already a large-scale attack. It is impossible for the Japanese army to copy the miracle of the Battle of Shanghai in the Battle of Hong Kong."

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

"Oh?" Chen Shi said, "So Ziren thought it would take several months for the Japanese army to capture Hong Kong?"

"How many months?" Zhong Yi's mouth showed a sarcastic look and said, "It doesn't take a few months, it's only three days at most. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese army should be able to capture Hong Kong today."

"What did you say? The Japanese army can capture Hong Kong today?" Chen Shi was stunned at first when he heard this.

A few seconds later, Chen Shi suddenly burst into laughter, and then He Yingpei and others also laughed.

Looking at that look, it seemed like I heard the funnyest joke in the world, but then again, they did think that Zhong Yi was telling a joke.

More than 10,000 British troops were defending the city. How could a division of Japanese troops want to conquer Hong Kong within three days?

Britain is the only superpower, and the British Army is a veteran strong army. It is still a matter of whether the Japanese army can win. It is simply nonsense to conquer Hong Kong within three days.

Zhong Yi didn't say much.

The reason why Zhong Yi came to this conclusion is that it is basically a sufficient factual basis.

In another time and space, the British army in Hong Kong persisted for almost half a month.

However, in this time and space, the British army in Hong Kong would never last for so long. The reason is very simple, because the Japanese army is more prepared and the air force is stronger!

In another time and space, the Japanese army received very little air support on the Southeast Asian battlefield.

However, in this time and space, the Japanese Air Force, which has become a single branch of troops, already has more than 10 divisions of aviation troops, and can provide sufficient air support to the Japanese Army and Japanese Navy!

Therefore, in the face of three-dimensional attacks from the Japanese Army, Navy and Air Force, the British army in Hong Kong will never be like another time and space for half a month! This time, it will last for up to three days!

After all, the British army in Hong Kong is just a servant!

Most of the soldiers of these minions come from Canada, Australia, India or Egypt. The number of British soldiers who really come from the UK is very small!

Chen Shi smiled for a long time before saying: "Everyone can understand Ziren's mood. In fact, you and me don't have such thoughts in your heart? After all, our national army has been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield for three years. If the Japanese army can defeat the British army with a devastating momentum, wouldn't it prove that the combat effectiveness of our national army is actually stronger than that of the British army? This subjective wish is good, but it is just a subjective wish, not a fact..."

Before he finished speaking, an adjutant of the attendant suddenly hurried in and handed a telegram to Principal Chang.

Principal Chang originally had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but after reading the telegram, the smile on the corner of his mouth immediately solidified.

Soon, more than a dozen senior generals in the conference room also noticed that Principal Chang's expressions were different and they all stopped talking.

Bai Chongbei seemed to realize something and asked, "Principal, who came from the telegram? What did it say?"

President Chang took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: "British Governor Yang Muqi, who has just announced that he would surrender unconditionally to the Japanese army, and Hong Kong has fallen!"

"Ah?" Chen Shi was stunned there in an instant.

Senior generals such as He Yingpei were also confused.

"How is that possible?" Chen Shi said almost like a dream, "The British army is so vulnerable?"

"Yes, could this be a mistake?" He Yingpei also said, "Is this the British army?"

"How powerful do you think the British army can be?" Zhong Yi sneered, "Don't forget that the British army on the Southeast Asian battlefield are actually not real British troops, but just minions recruited by the British government from various colonies. How much will a group of minions without much sense of honor have to fight?"

"This..." Chen Shi was speechless.
