Chapter seven hundred and seventeen the situation in the Central Plains
"When should the internal negotiations of the Soviet Union be held?!" Wu Hao was silent for a while and said to Yan Zhengqing. This is one of the resolutions of the three eastern provinces.
Since the Soviet Union is an established target, it cannot collapse. As a target, it is inevitable that it has a certain strength. But it absolutely cannot affect China.
This has become an established strategy. Since the Soviet Union cannot be strong or divided, the best way is that they cannot be the only one. So Stalin is forced to enter negotiations and let Trotsky and others divide his power.
It's inevitable.
However, as mentioned in the preface, this takes time, and the three northeastern provinces need the Soviet Union to be weak enough.
"Now is not the best time..." Yan Zhengqing smiled, looked at everyone and said softly: "The best time for us is when Germany takes over half of Europe and forces the United States to join the war."
"What we have to do now is to continuously enhance our strength." Yan Zhengqing's eyes flashed with light, and he chuckled to everyone: "The war against Japan cannot be delayed. When it is time to take action, we should make the final decision!
"
Saying that, Yan Zhengqing smiled: "Nanjing cannot be relied on. Since they don't want us to send troops, we will stay dormant. When it's time to surprise Japan, we will give them another big surprise!"
The Japanese did not know that they had become part of the calculations of the three northeastern provinces. They were working day and night to meet the requirements issued by the military headquarters. The military commander-in-chief, Prince Hanin Palace, personally ordered the supervision, and Mitsubishi gritted his teeth and took out the navy's Zero fighter jets!
After changing several parts, it was put in front of the Ministry of War. This was the best fighter they could come up with. If it didn't work, Mitsubishi had nothing to do.
Another fighter manufacturer, Nakajima, did not have this advantage of Mitsubishi, so Nakajima was eliminated after comparing parameters and prototypes.
Nakajima Heavy Industries provides the Ki-27 B with a Nakajima ha-1 B nine-cylinder air-cooled engine, but this fighter with only 610 horsepower obviously does not meet the Army's appetite.
In comparison, the Type 53 Zero fighter provided by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries carries a Eiji-1 engine with an off-ground horsepower of up to 1,130 horsepower, which is more in line with the Army's appetite.
"Yo Xi! How many of these fighter jets can you produce?!" Kanin Palace said with satisfaction to Toyama Yuki, the section chief of Mitsubishi who came to bid. But Toyama Yuki didn't dare to neglect the question raised by His Highness the Prince and quickly bowed.
"If we produce at full capacity, our monthly output can reach 400 aircraft. If we license it to Nakajima, it will depend on Nakajima's output. But conservatively, we estimate that they should be able to reach 400 aircraft..."
I have to say that Toyama Yuki's approach is a bit evil. He wants to interrupt Nakajima's research and development! If Nakajima also obtains the authorization, he will have to change his production line for production.
In other words, research and development will be forced to be postponed. With the time in between, Mitsubishi will naturally have more research and development time than Nakajima. At the same time, even if Nakajima does not produce a fighter, Mitsubishi can still collect part of the authorized money.
"Okay! Your aircraft is very good, and the Army is very satisfied!" Xianyuan Palace nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "I am responsible for communicating with Nakajima. What I hope is to see this kind of fighter jet as soon as possible.
Soaring over Korea! The Imperial soldiers need it to fight that damn tiger!"
"Hai! I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!" Toyama Yuki said loudly to Prince Hanin Palace.
At the same time, Nanjing entered a state of emergency preparation. Most of the troops who had withdrawn from the Songhu position were mobilized to Nanjing to prepare for a new round of Nanjing garrison.
A courtyard in Nanjing City looks no different from other courtyards. But this is a secret contact point from all over the place, where crows who have been evacuated from Shanghai gather here.
The leader was Huo Qingyun, who had just resumed command.
"Hua~~" Huo Qingyun took a cold hand and poured water all over his body. His whole body was dripping with water, and he stood up and said to the instructor Peng Chengji, who was squinting and sniffing at the sun.
"I'm talking about Lao Peng! What do you think the war situation in Nanjing will be like?!"
Peng Chengji's eyes narrowed even more as he listened to his old partner's words. After a while, he said cheerfully: "How to fight?! Those more than 300,000 defeated soldiers?! Shanghai dares to fight, but all the troops who can fight are disabled. I really
I can’t imagine how those scumbags in Nanjing managed to hold on for two months.”
Peng Chengji's words were in response to Chiang Zhongzhi's statement to Nanjing garrison commander Tang Shengzhi that he could hold on for two months after reading the map. In fact, anyone with some military knowledge knows that this is just self-deception.
Under the new defeat, coupled with the huge gap in weapons and equipment, Peng Chengji thought it was a miracle to hold on for two months or half a month! He somewhat understood why his commander-in-chief did not take out his weapons and equipment for Nanjing.
.
The command level of these guys is not even as good as that of a battalion commander of the National Defense Forces. Even a battalion commander of the National Defense Forces knows the importance of building fortifications and anti-blast holes.
And none of the big bosses in the Nanjing army had this awareness. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were bombarded by Japanese artillery fire! In the eyes of Huo Qingyun, Peng Chengji and others, the Japanese were in the hands of the traitors, but the Nanjing side
Definitely a very serious responsibility!
For the sake of fucking international attention, hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought with blood! This is something Peng Chengji cannot forgive.
Because, in the education given to him by the National Defense Forces, the lives of soldiers are more important than Mount Tai! Those good men who dare to die for the country will contribute to the country as long as they live.
"I think we can hold on for two months..." Huo Qingyun smiled and said to his old partner: "Lao Peng, don't forget! There are still us!"
Huo Qingyun's words made Peng Chengji's eyes light up and he smiled! Indeed! Why did the commander-in-chief arrange for them to come here?! To resist the Japanese attack!
Touching the gunshot wounds on his body, the bullets that had penetrated his body had formed scars. Peng Chengji's eyes narrowed even more, and he said to Huo Qingyun: "What we people want is to be able to fight for the country. If we can fight for the country,
If you die in battle and lie in the cemetery, you will be worthy of those dead brothers..."
Huo Qingyun fell silent after hearing this. Many brothers have died since the founding of Crow. Most of the bodies of those men were snatched back and sent back to the Martyrs Cemetery.
They rest there. From the captain Zhang Yan to every team member below, no one dares to insult the name of Crow, although their reputation is only known to the commander-in-chief and a few big bosses.
"Our reputation will not be recorded on paper, and our names will not be passed down through the ages..."
Huo Qingyun suddenly sang in a low voice the oath he made when he joined the Crows. This oath flowed in his bones and accompanied him through many life and death situations.
"No one will know us, no one will remember us. But our achievements will be engraved on the monument of the National Defense Force! It is the unyielding soul of fighting for the country and the nation. He will accompany us as crows to the enemies of this country.
Bring death!"
Huo Qingyun only read the first half of the sentence, and Peng Chengji, who was squinting his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes! He stood up involuntarily and murmured in a low voice.
This is the motivation that keeps them fighting till today. They have struggled on the line of life and death countless times and walked through the rain of bullets. For this country and nation.
They once rescued the 52nd Division, which was trapped in a tight siege by the Japanese army. They once fought to the death with the Japanese army in northern Guangdong! They once risked their lives on the battlefield in Songhu!
However, no one will know them. They will hide in the darkness and continue to fight for this country after the war. They are crows.
In Shanghai, the newly established Japanese Central China Front is accepting appointments. Matsui Iwane, who won the Shanghai War, is solemnly accepting the appointment from Tokyo.
The victory of the Shanghai Battle brought a higher appointment to Matsui Iwane. He was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Central China Front by the newly formed base camp! Under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Division, 9th Division, 11th Division, and 13th Division
Regiment, 101st Division, 16th Division.
At the same time, the 10th Army was newly formed and landed from Zhejiang.
And Matsui Iwane now has 9 divisions of troops!
"Hai!! I will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust! I will definitely live up to the Empire's trust! I vow to bring China into the Empire's territory!" Matsui Iwane was trembling with excitement!
Since he was thrown into the reserve army in 1934, he thought his military career was over. Unexpectedly, he would come back three years later and even become a commander-in-chief of the army!
"The Empire of Japan is on board! His Majesty the Emperor is on board!!" Matsui Iwane raised his arms and shouted, while the division commanders of the following divisions also roared like monsters.
But what he doesn't know is that someone is trying to take his place.
"Asaka Palace, are you sure you can complete the mission assigned by the empire?!" In the office of Hanyuan Palace, a special guest was welcomed. He is the husband of Prince Yunkouchi of Fumi Palace: Prince Kohiko of Asaka Palace!
"Matsui Iwane is old, and his movements are too gentle. We should take a more radical approach!" Matsui Iwane has a horse face and a mustache. But I saw him whispering to Hanyuan Palace.
"We don't have to be so polite to the Chinese dolphins! It is in the interest of the empire to completely subdue them. Those unnecessary weaknesses have no effect at all..."
King Asaka Palace Hatohiko is currently serving as a military counselor, but he graduated from the 26th class of the University of Japan and also served as the commander of the Guards Division. He is also a member of the royal family, so he has far more trust in Kanin Palace than in the imperial family.
General commander.
"We should not move this matter too fast, don't worry! I will make Matsui Iwane 'sick' in the near future! As for how you do, His Majesty will make a judgment!" (To be continued)
