A week passed by in a blink of an eye, but within this week, the international situation was changing. The Far East, which had just stabilized, once again ignited the war, and the European continent seemed to be about to emerge from the terrifying haze.

After a war initiated by Germany on the European continent, it gradually began to stabilize with Poland's surrender.

The Germans finally got Poland as they wished, and the Soviet Union and Germany also shared Poland's territory together. This was something that should not have happened in the eyes of the world. No one would have thought that the Soviets would actually intervene.

It was the Soviet Union's intervention that made him fall into the verbal quarrels of international disputes.

In contrast, in the Far East, after Europe calmed down, the world's vision was once again focused on Asia. Su Dao used thunder to drive away the Japanese invaders, which completely disrupted the strategic deployment of Western powers.

However, the Germans seemed to have a close relationship with China, and almost launched a war at the same time to attract their attention and make everyone unable to take into account the Far East, the Japanese army surrendered.

After Poland surrendered, the Western powers realized that Su Dao was no longer the little person he had back then, and now he has the qualifications that they can pay attention to.

Germany blitzed Poland, but Su Dao came to the Philippines in the Far East. In just about ten days, the entire Philippines land basically fell by one-third. And the Chinese Expeditionary Force located in the Philippines had more than 600,000 people.

With Manila as the center, the north has basically been completely occupied by Su Dao, and many Chinese have taken the opportunity to migrate to the northern part of the Philippines, trying to seek Su Dao's protection.

The southern part of Gumaka is the boundary, and the north ends in the middle of Manila is the area being fought for. However, according to this trend, the US military cannot compete with the expeditionary force. Hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces are fully equipped and covered by the air force and navy. What should the US military use to fight against them?

The US military is retreating step by step and is about to be driven to the area south of Gumaka. Going south further south, it is basically dominated by islands, and the land depth is insufficient, which is more conducive to the war of the expeditionary army.

Under the pressure of the three navy, army and air forces, the next battle will be much easier. Of course, the premise is that the United States does not increase its troops from its homeland.

Furthermore, so what if the troops are added? Congress has been quarreling for nearly ten days and has not yet argued for a result. Even if it comes out immediately, will they have time to come to China? Even if the troops are prepared everywhere, even at the fastest, it will take at least three days, and it will take at least half a month on the way.

By the time they arrived in the Philippines, they probably had all fallen here. Besides, Japan didn't know what was going on, and it even launched a blockade in the Pacific Ocean, prohibiting all ships from passing, which undoubtedly increased the support cost of the US military.

Although the Japanese Navy does not have the ability to destroy all the US Navy, it is still okay to cause some trouble for their support fleet.

In this case, whether to lose the Philippine Army or the Navy, including the first-level support of the local Philippine Army, has become the focus of debate in the US Congress.

Of course, this was just a small episode. Although the US Congress was arguing, President Roosevelt's speech completely forced them to a dead end. So, Congress passed a bill to support the Philippines that day.

The reason why there has not been substantial progress so far is that the problem lies in Congress. The men are discussing nervously to see how to support them to recover the situation as much as possible and avoid their own losses.

On February 5, 1940, before we knew it, another winter passed. This was the most prosperous winter in China. There was no war or death, and there was only a sing and dancing to peace and the people lived and worked in peace.

And this day is also the beginning of spring, with flowers blooming and everything reviving, which indicates that this winter will leave them forever starting today, and will welcome them with a green earth and a country full of vitality.

In two days, February 7th is New Year's Eve. This should be the most important festival in Chinese history. On New Year's Eve, the whole family often gathers together, stay up late to celebrate the New Year, eat reunion dinner, drink auspicious wine, and send off the year full of pain and joy together, looking forward to the beauty of the coming year.

The streets of Jinxi are filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, with strings of red lanterns hanging everywhere, and people buying New Year’s goods are endless, with crowds rushing and shouting. Perhaps it is their wish to live a stable New Year. Now the stable New Year is finally here, and all the families are constantly buying New Year’s goods. There is no other reason, they have to vent their vent.

All businesses are so happy that they can't stop. The business is getting better and better day by day, and the money they earn is getting more and more. And most importantly, they can do business here safely without worrying about someone coming to cause trouble.

But as before, there were busy people everywhere in the Expeditionary Force headquarters. It seemed that the New Year had nothing to do with them.

The correspondents took the time to sit on the steps in the yard and rested. Maybe they would use them at any time, so they would also take as much rest as possible, and when they had something to do, they would want to run away and break their legs.

The staff members were also busy, walking back and forth with telegrams or documents in their hands, or several staff members gathered together to discuss some things. In short, they did their own things, messy and neat.

"Sister-in-law, come and find the commander?"

At the door of the headquarters, the guards looked at the visitor with a smile and asked very diligently.

"I'll look for the Chief of Staff, please go in and inform me."

Wu Yali had a red face and shyly expressed her intention.

I don’t know what happened. Although Wu Yali is already engaged to Su Dao, in theory, Wu Yali is already Su Dao’s person, and it is normal to be polite to others call him his sister-in-law. But whenever Wu Yali hears others call him his sister-in-law, she will feel inexplicably.

There is a kind of joy and excitement, but more of it should be shy. It seems that this is a very embarrassing thing.

"Sister-in-law, just go in. Anyway, you won't do anything that makes us embarrassed. You always stand at the door. Why bother?"

The guard smiled wryly and shook his head, still dissuading Wu Yali from going in directly. The two bosses in the headquarters, one is their future husband and the other is their own brother. Even if they are placed with Chairman Jiang, they can go in without notice. But every time Wu Yali comes to the headquarters, she always stands outside the door and waits for the notice, and then Su Dao or Wu Zhongguo comes out in person. Since their family has come here, only Xiaocheng has entered the headquarters once, and the others are standing at the door and waiting.

"You'd better go and report it. No rules can make you a square. Besides, this is the headquarters and a military important place. I'm not a soldier, so it's not very convenient to get in."

Wu Yali shook her head and refused.

It is said that children from single-parent families don’t understand many rules, but this is not the case in Wuzhong’s country. All four children understand the rules very well, but only Xiaocheng is too young and is not very sensible. He once went straight to the headquarters to find Wuzhongguo once.

It was also that time when his mother found out that, Xiaocheng was taught a lesson, and from then on, even Xiaocheng stood at the commander's office and asked someone to report it.

Wu Zhongguo's mother often taught them that no matter how powerful it is, it is not their own. Relatives should have the awareness of relatives and should not always regard themselves as a special existence, as soon as it will implicate others.

Because Wu Yali started working early and was older, she understood all these things and didn't need anyone to explain them specifically. Although she was very curious, she still stood at the door and waited.

"Xiaoli, why don't you go in?"

Not long after, Wu Zhongguo stood at the commander's office trotted all the way.

"It's nothing big. Is the Chinese New Year coming soon? Mom asked me to ask you, see if you need anything? We'll buy it together later."

Wu Yali was quite happy to see her elder brother. Wu Yali also felt a little envious of this man who was regarded as a god by others.

"I don't have to buy it anymore. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I don't have anything to lack. You came just now. The bonus I just paid in the morning, you can buy a few clothes and go check out the dowry and other things. We will get married in a month or two. We can't give nothing to our parents' family."

Wu Zhongguo took out more than a thousand fiat coins from his pocket and directly sent them to Wu Yali.

"Hasn't you just paid military pay?"

Wu Yali looked at Wu Zhongguo with some confusion. The military pay was paid from the 15th to 20th of each month. Today is the 5th, how could the military pay be paid in the middle?

"As the bonus, everyone has it, it's just a matter of how much. Okay, go back quickly. I still have someone here to participate, so I won't go back for lunch."

Wu Zhongguo laughed and didn't say it clearly. After placing the money to Wu Yali, he turned around and walked into the headquarters.

Bonus, also known as year-end bonus, have worked hard for a year. Although there is military pay, most of them are sent to their families or spent it themselves. It’s time for the New Year again. Su Dao also gave the soldiers a year-end bonus without hesitation. However, this bonus is not as much as usual military pay. In fact, this is just a thought.

During the Chinese New Year, Su Dao also gave out the year-end bonus, but at that time, due to financial shortages and other issues, the amount of money was relatively small, and it was also paid together with military pay before the New Year. Now, the wealthy Expeditionary Force will naturally not be short of so much money.

Wu Zhongguo trotted all the way to the conference room of the headquarters. Just when the guards informed him, he happened to go to the conference room and said a few words to Wu Yali. When he returned to the conference room, the people who were about to come for the meeting were basically here, sitting together in groups of three or three and chatting with each other. Su Dao's face was full of smiles, and he chatted with the officers below.

Seeing Wu Zhongguo return to the conference room, everyone stopped, adjusted their mentality slightly, and then entered the meeting state. The purpose of this meeting is also very simple, it is nothing more than to make a year-end summary and put forward every little bit of the year, some areas worthy of praise and some areas that need correction.
