After all the people were rescued, Zhou Weiguo took the time to ask, "Folks, where are you from? Why were you caught here?"
A man cried and said, "You are the Eighth Route Army, right? We are from Lijiazhuang. That day a group of Japs disguised as your Eighth Route Army suddenly came. We were unprepared. Captain Li and the others were all killed. The Japs picked us up and threw us here.
They only give us rice soup every day for I don’t know how long.”
Zhenbai Siwen asked in disbelief, "Are you from Lijiazhuang? Are you not dead?"
Another man shook his head and said, "No, the Japanese killed all our guerrillas and knocked out the others and tied them up."
Zhou Weiguo was stunned for a while, looking at the Japanese soldiers who fell on the ground with confusion. He wanted to ask clearly, but he didn't know who else to ask. He could only hold the katana Takeshita left for him in his hand, as if asking
Takeshita's soul.
"Does this mean you didn't break our promise?" Zhou Weiguo sighed and said, "The Japanese troops have withdrawn and Taihang Mountain is safe again. Let's eat something first and take a rest before going back. Let's share the food with the fellow villagers.
"
"Report, telegram from the boss." A soldier handed the telegram to Zhou Weiguo and said.
Zhou Weiguo quickly took it, and after reading it, he glanced at Zhenbai Siwen complicatedly and said, "Our boss wants you to return to Yan'an. He has a new task for you."
Mashiro raised his eyebrows gently and said, "Am I the only one?"
Zhou Weiguo pointed at his team members and said, "And all your team members, the club will look for you in a while."
Li Qian said happily, "Is my boss coming? Then I will go back to Yan'an."
Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "That's fine. My boss suddenly came to Zhenbai. There must be something big going on. You guys should go first."
--Germany
"Our new equipment has begun to be equipped with Göring's Airborne Army. In addition, Germany's new tanks have officially begun production. This is the data of the No. 5 tank." Chen Nan handed a piece of paper to Jiang Cheng and said.
Jiang Cheng asked, "Oh? How did you get it?"
Chen Nan said with a smile, "The Germans just had a feasible production plan, so they came to you and asked you to go and take a look. I told you that you were not in Germany, so the visitor left this piece of paper and said that he hoped you could make some suggestions."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "You think of me as a tank expert. It seems that the Germans are really scared of the Centurion. Well... let me take a look. The 75mm gun, 48 times the caliber, is the German tank."
The gun technology has improved a lot. It is 6.72 meters long, 2.88 meters wide, and has 80mm sloped armor on the front. Well, if such a tank is really mature, it will be enough to defeat all current tanks. Germany's advantage is
It's bigger, I believe Hitler may be more confident in launching a war."
Chen Nan nodded and said, "Of course, and Poland has not given any reply to Hitler during this period. Germany's resentment towards Poland is getting higher and higher."
Jiang Cheng looked out the window and said, "It's almost September. Germany has no chance this year. Go make arrangements. I want to meet Dönitz."
——
"Bang!" Hitler slammed the book angrily. He pointed at Poland on the map and said, "It's already September, and Poland hasn't negotiated with us yet. I think they have no idea of peaceful settlement. Chamberlain's promise became
Empty talk! In their eyes, are we in Germany children who can be coaxed with only nice words?"
Goebbels said excitedly, "My head of state, Poland has constantly slandered us in its propaganda, and has also prepared heavy troops on our border lines. It is obvious that Poland is not ready to reconcile with us."
Hitler hummed and said, "Yes, the Poles are all liars and bad guys! We must be ready to fight at any time."
Schacht weighed the situation and said, "My head of state, I have received news that Britain and France seem to be in secret contact with the Soviet Union. It is very likely that they are waiting for us to attack."
Everyone looked at Schacht in surprise. Himmler, who managed intelligence, said, "This is impossible. Why don't we get any news?"
Heydrich also said, "We haven't received any information either, Mr. Schacht, what kind of evidence is this?"
Schacht hummed, "We talked about secret contacts. If everyone knew about it, why would we call it a secret? This information is absolutely reliable. As long as the intelligence department inquires carefully, they will definitely be able to find out some information."
Hitler narrowed his eyes and said, "If you say so, we really can't act rashly. The Soviet Union..."
Goering immediately said, "Since Britain and France can have contact, why can't we?"
Hitler was stunned and looked at Goering. Goering snorted and said, "I heard that in ancient China, there were three countries that were hostile to each other. The monarch and brothers of one country died at the hands of another country, but in order to fight against the most powerful
Although there is no strong third country, these two countries have united and put aside their hatred. The Chinese can do it, and we Germans should also be able to do it."
Looking at Göring who seemed to have changed into a different person, Hitler clapped his hands and said, "Well said, the Soviet Union should not only oppose it, but also use it. Germany must not fight on both sides. If we want to deal with Britain and France, we must unite with the Soviet Union! This matter
I’ll leave the matter to you, and you must find a way to contact the Soviet Union.”
After everyone left, a secretary came in and said, "My head of state, Dönitz, wants to see you. He said he has what you need."
Hitler hummed and said, "Let him in."
Dönitz walked in, saluted Hitler and said, "Hi! Hitler!"
Hitler nodded and said "I heard you have what I need?"
Dönitz took out a stack of materials and said, "This is my submarine plan. If there is a threat of war in the empire in recent years, my subordinates think this is the best choice for our imperial navy."
"Wolf pack tactics?" Hitler looked at Dönitz in front of him and slowly put down the materials in his hand.
"Yes, my head of state, I think Plan Z will be difficult to complete in a short time. If a war breaks out in the next few years, my Wolf Pack Plan is the best choice." Dönitz said with his head held high.
Hitler's fingers were tapping quickly on the table. Plan Z had been in existence for four years. Due to reasons such as slow military expenditure and naval construction, the results were not great. Dönitz proposed using large-scale submarine warfare to replace surface warfare. This
The plan costs less and is fast, but is it really effective?
Hitler hesitated, but Dönitz seemed to see Hitler's wavering. He said, "My Führer, this is just a suggestion. I hope that if the empire really needs it, Führer, you can consider it."
Hitler nodded and said, "Very good, I understand, you can go out."
Dönitz walked out of the Prime Minister's Office, got into a car, and came to a house. He sighed and opened the door. Several people inside were sitting and chatting. Dönitz said to the man in the middle, "The head of state still doesn't believe me."
, even if you help me perfect the tactics, it is impossible for the head of state to make a decision without actual results."
The man stood up, it was Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng pulled Dönitz to sit down and said, "Don't be anxious, this is a major event that will change the development of the navy."
Dönitz sighed, "I understand, it's just that we have too few submarines now. Without enough submarines, even if we have the best tactics and soldiers, they will be of no use!"
Jiang Cheng hummed and said to Schacht, who was sitting next to him, "I won't introduce you to him. General Dönitz and I hit it off. We have a lot in common about submarine tactics."
Schacht did not know much about the war and was not interested in it. He said, "The Rome Plan was going very smoothly during this period. Czechoslovakia's production not only recovered, but also increased. I told the head of state at today's meeting that Britain and France
The head of state was very surprised about contacting the Soviet Union. Goering proposed to contact the Soviet Union, what do you think?"
Jiang Cheng hummed and said, "It depends on how the empire handles the affairs of the Soviet Union and Japan."
Schacht asked in surprise, "You mean Japan is going to go to war with the Soviet Union?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "It should be soon."
——Manchuria Xinjing
A man wearing glasses stood on a high platform, looking into the distance and asked, "The Japanese seem to have mobilized their troops very vigorously recently."
An old man next to him said, "Your Majesty, the Japanese have not only mobilized their own troops, but our Manchurian troops have also mobilized a lot. I heard that there is going to be another war with the Soviets in the north."
That man was Pu Yi. Pu Yi said blankly, "Why didn't anyone tell me? This is my empire! My army! Don't you need to report to me when mobilizing my army?"
The old man hurriedly got down and said, "The humble minister deserves to die, but since Shi Shigege left, the Japanese have become more and more rude to us."
Pu Yi held his hand tightly, then reluctantly let it go, turned around and said, "Go back, it's going to be cold again today."
"It's going to be cold today. The empire is going to war now. It seems that it is not prepared for a long-term battle." Takeda Takeo said to Tada Shun while looking at the mobilizing troops.
Tada Shun sighed, "King Higashikata Minuhiko finally suffered a big loss at the hands of the Eighth Route Army. I said that in order to completely solve the China problem, we must prepare more than three million troops and clean up provinces one by one."
, you must not have the heart to despise the enemy."
Takeda Yixio shook his head and said, "Tokyo now only wants to stabilize the war situation in China and hopes that Chiang Kai-shek's intermediary government will surrender. It no longer has much interest in conquering them all. The Chinese people's determination to resist is too strong. If we want to conquer them all, the price we need to pay will be
If it is too large, it is likely that the empire will lose its chance in the next world war."
Tada Shun smiled and said, "This is not necessarily true. King Higashino Minuhiko has found a cheap way, but this method still needs to be tried. Everyone thought that King Higashino Minuhiko was helpless by the Eighth Route Army.
Little did he know that he was just lurking and preparing for the next attack."
Takeda Yixiong was stunned, but he didn't understand what Tada Jun was talking about. Tada Jun coughed and said, "Takeda-kun, there is a mission here, and I hope you can go together."
Takeda Takeo quickly stood at attention and said, "Please give instructions!"
Tada Shun waved and said, "According to the plan, on September 18th, the Empire will go to war with the Soviet Union again. The battlefield will be Nomonhan last time. This time more than 200,000 Imperial troops will be invested. But this is just a false move. The real
The ultimate move is a surprise trooper. This troop will cross the grassland and directly attack Cullen. As long as we can capture Cullen, we will be victorious. This task command decided to use our Second Division and Eighth Division
The cavalry regiment will fight together. I think Lieutenant General Chang'an Itoharu will be the commander-in-chief, and you will be the chief of staff."
Takeda Takeo felt flattered and said, "Is it really appropriate for me to handle such an important task?"
Jun Tada smiled and said, "The biggest problem with this attack is the long march. There will be many difficulties in it. What you are best at is uniting the troops. And I have seen during this period that you are also very concerned about Mongolia."
, I believe you can do the job."
Takeda Takeo nodded firmly and said, "I will definitely not betray the trust of His Majesty the General."
When Takeda returned home, he crossed his legs and thought about it. He knew that the Japanese army's attack plan was naturally excellent, but what should he do? Should he complete the plan? Or should he destroy it?
Takeda Yixio fell into deep thought. As a Red Party member and a member of the Red International, he naturally wanted to protect Red Mongolia and the Soviet Union. However, if this surprise attack fails, Japan's attention will inevitably return to the Kannai. Tada Shun and others have already
After waking up, if the Japanese army attacks with all its strength again, it will definitely use all its strength. Will China be able to resist it by then?
Takeda Takeda has been in the Japanese army for many years. If nothing else, if nearly a million troops in Manchuria are pressed into the pass, the situation in the pass will change drastically.
Should we protect Mongolia and the Soviet Union? Or protect China? Takeda Takeda was in a dilemma.
——Beiping
"Ah!! Kill me, kill me quickly!!" In a glass room, a man's skin turned purple-black, his eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he weakly begged for death.
There was a man next to him who was bleeding all over and was already dead.
King Higashikata Minuhiko was wearing protective clothing, but he still covered his nose and looked at the scene in the glass room, nodded and said, "Yes, what diseases do these two people have?"
A middle-aged man wearing glasses smiled and said, "One is the plague, also known as the Black Death, and the other is dengue fever. We have initially matured these two technologies and can produce them in large quantities."
Prince Higashikata Minuhiko smiled and nodded and said, "Then if I want the entire Taihang Mountains to be infected, how many will it take?"
"The entire Taihang Mountains??" the man said in disbelief. "The Taihang Mountains stretch for more than 400 kilometers and cover an area of more than 10,000 miles. To take all of them... we cannot do it for the time being."
King Dong Jiure Gong Minyan said dissatisfiedly, "Then let's start with the Shanxi side first. I'll give you three months. Whatever you want, I can prepare it for you. I want to transform the Taihang Mountains into
