It's a pity that not everyone in this world is smart. Some people are just smart, but that's not scary. What's scary is that these smart people always think they have great wisdom.

This is terrifying. Although they only have the strength of a mantis' arm, they firmly believe that they can lift a thousand-jin cauldron. This kind of knowledge will eventually make them do many things that exceed their own capabilities.

For example, Qiang Jie is now in front of Ryu Shin Kazuo. Ryu Shen actually doesn't want to receive this ex-prince who has expired and is almost useless.

Now that Baoda has chosen to fully cooperate with Japan, forcing this person is just a threat to tell Baoda: If you don't cooperate, we can find someone to replace you.

But judging from the current situation, the chance of being forced to replace Baoda is extremely low. Because Baoda has not only handed over the command and training of the army to the Japanese, but also actively strives to allow the Japanese to bring their troops to the battlefield.

.

And what about Qiang Jie?! He does not have a strong enough family background, and in terms of Annan, his reputation is always not as good as that of Bao Dai, who legitimately inherited the throne. Therefore, Qiang Jie is just a backup tire for the Japanese side.

"Mr. Qiang Jie, I believe you also know that the current situation of the empire is not good." Liu Shen tried his best to hold back his disgust. In his opinion, Qiang Jie should stay calm now. The empire has no time to care about this.

A prince with no real power.

"We have now trained and armed a group of troops for Mr. Qiangzhe, but for the moment, the most important thing for the empire is the stability of Annan." Liu Shen paused and said patiently: "But the empire promises Mr.

, we will try our best to complete it. As long as the National Defense Force is repelled, then it will be time for us to help Mr. realize his wish..."

In Liu Shen's view, it would be enough to fool Qiang Jie through this period of time. He knew from the bottom of his heart that Qian Jie was now taking advantage of the opportunity of the National Defense Forces' attack to demand a sky-high price from the Japanese side.

After all, given his status, if he suddenly fell to the National Defense Forces, it would be a huge blow to Japan's strategy in Annan. Therefore, Japan must stabilize him, or at least give him some sweetness.

"Colonel Liu Shen, I know the difficulties of the Japanese Empire. But my requirements are not high. I just need to give me some territory so that I can develop part of my strength. This will also be good for the empire to fight against the Chinese army..." Qiang Jie

Stick to your request with a smile.

In Qiang Jie's view, he has lowered his standards. First, he does not ask Japan to help him to overthrow Baoda now, and secondly, he does not ask Japan to give him much assistance.

He just asked the Japanese side and Baoda to make a request to let him serve as the chief official of a place so that he can develop himself. At least Qiangjie feels that he is quite aggrieved now. It turned out that the Japanese had promised him to let him serve as Annan's leader once he had the chance.

of the new emperor.

Now that I have lowered my standards to the level of a local official, I cannot do this. I can only say that the Japanese have no sincerity at all. Since you are unkind, you cannot blame me for being unjust.

At least that's what Qiang Zhe thought. In his opinion, his compromise with the Japanese was a return of the Japanese's favor for taking him in. Besides, it was he who helped the Japanese establish the line of Baoda.

!

"No! Mr. Qiangjie, you know. This is impossible." Just kidding, the Japanese will not offend the uncertain and slippery Qiangjie. Three divisions have been sent out, and a fourth is being formed.

The division was preparing to help the Japanese army fight Baoda.

If you really do this, you can only say that the Japanese are crazy. If they leave a ready-made dish and don’t eat it, they have to make trouble for themselves by going up the mountain to collect firewood, pick the vegetables and fry them themselves.

The Japanese are not stupid, how could they do such a thing?!

"Let's do this! Mr. Qiangjie, I propose to the empire to give you the equipment to support another brigade. I will also be responsible for helping you train them all. After being trained on the battlefield, they will all be elite soldiers and strong generals."

Liu Shen thought for a while and said to Qiang Jie: "I believe this is what you need, and we will provide you with a series of logistical supplies, and at the same time help you expand your troops and obtain the leadership of a province in Annan at the appropriate time.

…”

"Oh~ Thank you so much, Mr. Liu Shen!" Qiang Jie looked very happy, as if he had taken advantage of something. He bowed to Liu Shen repeatedly. The two of them chatted for a while, each smiling broadly.

He smiled and said goodbye.

After Liu Shen sent Qiang Jie out of his office building seemingly politely, Liu Shen returned to the office with a livid face and cursed: "This damn Annan monkey! Who does he think he is?! If it weren't for us not to act now,

I would have killed this reckless bastard a long time ago! Red Deer!"

"Damn Liu Shen! Who do you really think you are?! You treat me as a fool. The people I gave to you will definitely be used as cannon fodder. Anyway, the left and right are not your own people! Even if they all die, you will not

Feeling bad!"

Coincidentally, Qiang Jie also cursed loudly in his car. How could he not hear the official excuses and lies in Liu Shen's mouth?!

Qiang Jie was obviously a prince, but Liu Shen kept referring to him as "sir" and "sir" one after another, clearly not taking Qiang Jie's status as a prince seriously.

"Your Highness, it seems that the Japanese did not follow their good intentions..." Mei Qingqiu, who was beside Qiang Jie, looked at the pedestrians outside the car and sighed: "The so-called giving us territory after repelling the National Defense Forces is just an excuse. If

If you want to give it, they will give it now. I believe that as long as they propose to protect the university, they will definitely have no objection..."

"Can't I see it?! Huh! This Liu Shen has a good idea, dragging my people to be cannon fodder for other people. Do you think I don't know anything?!..."

In fact, there is something that he has not said out loud. Liu Shen's evasion clearly means that he does not regard him as one of his own. Perhaps in the eyes of the Japanese, he is not even as good as Baoda, right?!

Thinking about this, Qiang Jie couldn't help but sigh. In the early years, Baoda was cooperating with the French, and most of the cabinet was pro-French. So the Japanese attracted him in the hope of having a leading figure when they needed it.

You can cooperate with them to launch an attack on the French army.

Annan is a region that the Japanese have coveted for a long time. It has three crops of rice a year. With extremely high yields, Japan can prepare its own military rations here.

You can even rely on the climate here to raise a large amount of military crops for the Japanese army, such as cotton and rubber. Annan also has certain minerals, and its geographical location is not far from Qiong Province, which was occupied by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army could completely rely on sea transportation to transport resources back to Japan step by step.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?!" Mei Qingqiu was silent for a while and asked Qiang Jie. Qiang Jie did not speak, and he was also struggling in his heart.

Should we obey the Japanese or implement the agreement with the National Defense Forces? This is indeed a question, and it will be a big issue related to the survival of the people in the future.

On this issue, Mei Qingqiu did not dare to say anything. The stakes in this matter were too high. If something went wrong in the future, his words might become evidence to be attacked and annihilated by others.

"Let's take over the Japanese equipment first." Qiangjie was silent for a long time, until the car approached their joint point and then said: "After we take down those equipment, we will start directly!"

It seemed that the Japanese were unwilling to give him the position he wanted. So Qiang, who was not willing to be just a spare chess piece, naturally had to consider his own interests.

"During this period, you should first prepare to evacuate the food all the way, but don't arouse the suspicion of the Japanese..." Qiangzhe took a deep breath and said: "This may be our only chance in Annan, even if it becomes

It would be better for Korea to be directly colonized by the Japanese!"

"Yes!!" Mei Qingqiu responded quickly and loudly.

But the two of them didn't know that their calculations were very clever, and the National Defense Forces were not fools. As early as when they first went to the imperial capital, they were also vaguely excluded from Annan's future management.

This time Qiang Zhe's swing directly ruined his original observation status. According to the records of the National Defense Force, Qiang Zhe has changed from an object of observation to one that must be liquidated.

"We must ensure the purity and strength of our Annan! I don't believe that with our efforts, Annan will not become a big country on par with China!" But Li Yin, another scheduled liquidator, did not think so.

conscious.

He is still promoting his "Great Annan" ideas to their lower-level comrades. And gathered around him are the middle and lower-level members of the Annan organization who are extremely new and who fanatically worship him.

"The place where the kapok tree blooms is our hometown. Those places should belong to Annan by nature, and a strong Annan cannot do without these places!" Li Yin was still delivering his impromptu speech: "We are now working with the National Defense Forces

Cooperation is only temporary."

"Believe me! Believe us! In our hands, Annan, a world power, will eventually be born, and then the whole world will look up to us! Annan will stand among the world's powerful countries!"

"For the rise of Annan!!" A group of people below were shouting enthusiastically, and Li Yin was also responding to these shouts excitedly. But he did not notice that there were some people in the crowd below who seemed to be fanatical.

He shouted, but a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.

That kind of teasing is like seeing a praying mantis shouting under the roots of the tree that he will become the king of the forest...

"Woo~~ tu tu tu tu..." Early in the morning, more than two hundred Japanese aircraft were dispatched. These fighter planes appeared in the sky above Muzhou and began to fight to the death with the war eagles of the National Defense Force in the sky.

.

At the beginning, the war eagles of the National Defense Force were still a little unprepared for the arrival of the Japanese army, but the National Defense Force soon adjusted. The ground troops stopped attacking, but the fighting in the sky continued.
