Seishiro Itagaki took the newspaper from Kanji Ishihara's hand, which was Germany's Volksobservatore. He only saw that the German government had recently decided to release several people involved in the Red Army who had been imprisoned for many years, and believed that they were not suspected.
Itagaki Seishiro thought for a while and said, "Do you doubt the meaning of this news?"
Ishihara Wanji narrowed his eyes and said, "I know a little about Hitler. He would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. Since he is involved in the red, Hitler will definitely not be released so easily. He must be doing this now to send some signals."
.”
Itagaki Seishiro said in horror, "Does Germany want to form an alliance with the Soviet Union? This is impossible. Hitler's Nazi Party started out as an anti-Red party, and we still have an international anti-Red agreement!"
Ishihara smiled and said, "Don't we still have fewer agreements with China? This agreement is useful only. When it is useless, just tear it up! The most important issue for Germany now is the Polish issue. Poland has already formed an alliance with Britain and France.
, and completely ignored Germany's diplomatic efforts, and continued to prepare for war, obviously preparing for war. Under such circumstances, Germany had only one way to go, which was to attack Poland, which would force Britain and France to declare war with Germany. If this
If the Soviet Union also joins the war, Germany will definitely lose. If I were Hitler, I would also choose to unite with the Soviet Union."
As he spoke, Ishihara Wanji stood up and said, "We can no longer fight. Let's communicate with the Soviet Union immediately. We must end this war with dignity."
Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said, "You are right. If the Soviet Union really unites with Germany, we will change our situation in the Far East and must report to His Majesty and the Prime Minister."
——Japanese Imperial Palace
Listening to what Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro said, Hiranuma Kirichiro shook his head and said, "This is just your guess. If we withdraw the troops based only on such speculation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the people. We have not invested enough in Nomonkan."
Lost in any battle launched within the pass,"
Hirohito sat in the main seat, silent and looking at everyone.
Ishihara Wanji immediately said, "It is the responsibility of the soldiers to fight on the battlefield. Isn't it the duty of the princes to determine when to start the war and how to end it? Do you think it is possible to start a full-scale war with the Soviet Union?"
Hirohito looked at Kiichiro Hiranuma and asked, "If something unspeakable really happens, can the empire achieve final victory?"
Hiranuma Kiichiro shook his head and said, "The situation in Europe is complicated and strange, and it is difficult for me to judge."
Ishihara Wanji said, "In this case, why not take advantage of the fact that we now occupy Kulun and negotiate with the Soviet Union. The world is very big. If Germany really unites with the Soviet Union, we still have South Asia to choose from!"
Hirohito sighed and stood up and said, "In the past, I left, and the willows were still there. Now I come to think about it, and it is raining and snowing. I heard that it has started to rain and snow in Manchuria recently, and I want to tell Puyi, the ruler of Manchukuo, to pay attention to the lives of our expatriates.
"
Hirohito's poem was written by Caiwei, who is known as the ancestor of war-weary poetry. Of course everyone understood what it meant. Hirohito glanced at Hiranuma Kiichiro who was at a loss and couldn't help being dissatisfied with his ability, so he stood up and left.
--Moscow
"What? Kulun was occupied by the Japanese army? Where is Zhukov! What is he doing? I gave him the Far East, and this is how he repays me? Can he deserve the trust of the people?" Stalin stood up and roared.
"General Zhukov has cut off the Japanese army's supply line in Nomenkan, and is now surrounding the Japanese army in Nomenkan. He was also surprised when he received the news that Cullen was attacked. He is ordering the cavalry troops to return with all their strength, but it will take at least 10 days to counterattack.
In addition, there are traces of Japanese infantry on the Siberian Railway, and we initially suspect that the Japanese army has plans to cut off the railway." Beria said quickly. He did not dare to conceal or exaggerate anything at this time. Stalin's anger made him breathless.
Don't come.
"One hundred thousand Japanese troops are surrounded by us? Well, we have a good bargaining chip. Is there any movement after the Japanese occupied Kulun?" Stalin said while smoking his pipe.
"They were very quiet, surprisingly quiet. The streets of Kulun were completely different from those of Nanjing. The Japanese troops were very disciplined and rarely harassed the people," Beria said.
"Haha!" Stalin laughed and said, "This is sending a signal to us. They don't want to fight, they want to negotiate. Okay, let's talk. Our bottom line is very clear. Restore the status quo before the war. Otherwise, let's let
Let them collect the corpses of their army so that I can rebuild the city of Cullen!"
——Chongqing
Agent Jiang looked at the rice on the table with a solemn expression. Seeing him like this, Song Meiling couldn't help but push him and said, "Darling, why don't you eat? Is the rice not to your taste? Do you want me to have them pour it out and make it again?"
"
Agent Jiang glanced at Soong Meiling, shook his hand and said, "I have something on my mind. Yesterday, we received an answer to our request for military aid from the Soviet Union, but this answer really gave me a headache."
Song Meiling asked, "Aren't they willing to support us?"
Agent Jiang touched his scepter and said, "That's not true. It's not just that they don't support it. They are willing to give us aircraft, artillery, tanks and machine guns. They are working very hard, but they put forward a condition, that is, they want us to launch a counterattack."
It proves the determination of our people’s army to fight the Japanese army to the end!”
With that said, Agent Jiang put down his chopsticks and said, "In the past few months, Britain and the United States have successively given us some loans. Although it is not much, like the British who are stingy, they only have one million pounds, but they have given it to many international friends.
He said that Britain, the United States and other countries are worried that we will surrender and the money they borrowed from us will be wasted, so they are hesitant! This also requires us to show determination."
Song Meiling said quickly, "Isn't this great? Aren't we preparing to launch a counterattack in the near future?"
Agent Jiang glared and asked, "Who did you listen to?"
Song Meiling couldn't help but laugh when she saw it. She pushed him and said, "You said it a few months ago. You must have forgotten it."
Jiang Jie was stunned for a moment, patted his head and said with a smile, "There is such a thing, but it is one thing for us to want to fight, and it is another thing for others to ask us to fight. Japan and the Soviet Union are at war now.
The Soviet Union only allowed us to fight in the hope that we could contain the Japanese army."
"Commissioner, urgent report." A guard came in and said.
Song Meiling glanced at Intermediary Jiang dissatisfied. Intermediary Jiang smiled and apologized. She picked up the telegram and read it. After just a few glances, Intermediary Jiang stood up and shouted, "Let He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi immediately,
Chen Cheng, Dai Li and others are here for the meeting!"
Song Meiling asked, "What happened?"
Agent Jiang sat down and said, "The Japanese army has occupied Kulun, the two sides in Nomenkan have begun a ceasefire, and Japan and the Soviet Union are about to cease the war..."
——In the conference room
"Commissioner, even if Japan and the Soviet Union want a truce, the two conflicts have forced them to accumulate heavy troops at the border, and in a short period of time, the Japanese army will not be able to move troops back to the pass so quickly." Bai Chongxi judged the situation and said.
"But in the long run, the Japanese army will still focus on China again, and we must prepare for the Japanese army's next attack." He Yingqin continued.
"If I were the Japanese army, the next attack direction would definitely be Changsha, so our next step should be to defend Changsha. You know, Okamura Neji's Eleventh Army has basically not moved." Chen Ce pointed to the map.
Changsha said.
Jiang Jie thought for a while and said, "Now, our army has a total of 242 infantry divisions, 31 infantry brigades, 12 cavalry divisions, and eight cavalry brigades, totaling more than 2.8 million people. Although
The two-year war suffered considerable losses, but it did not break the bones. The Japanese army first defeated Wuhan, then Shanxi, and finally Mongolia. It can be said that they were defeated again and again. It can be said that the Japanese army is surrounded by enemies.
Far away, there is a dilemma. Our army must not only consider defense, but also think more about offense, just like the Red Party!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, unable to believe that Jiang Jie was actually preparing to attack.
Jiang Jie continued, "I plan to use eighty to one hundred divisions to launch large-scale counterattacks in southern Guangxi, Changsha, Jiangxi, Hebei, Henan and other places! The minimum requirement is to recover a few counties and defeat the Chinese People's Army.
The prestige and morale of the people must not be misled into thinking that only the Red Party can win the war, and our White Party will only move away!"
After hearing these words, several people knew that Jiang Jiajiang had made up his mind. Bai Chongxi thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, we must choose one place to attack mainly, and the rest of the places to support the feint attack. Originally, the best main attack direction is Changsha, where we have stocked up our most important weapons."
Elite troops, but because of this, if they lose, Changsha will be wide open, and the Japanese army will threaten Hengyang, Changde and other places, and even threaten Chongqing, so I think Changsha cannot move lightly."
Jiang Jie nodded. He wanted to counterattack more because he hoped to get external support, but he didn't really want to win a battle.
He Yingqin said, "If this is the case, why not choose the direction of Nanchang? We failed last time. The Japanese army has now deployed a long snake formation along the Yangtze River. We will attack the middle and pretend to attack the head. It will inevitably lead to chaos. If we can win
Nanchang can threaten the Japanese army's logistics line, and we can be more confident in defending Changsha."
When Agent Jiang heard about Nanchang, he thought of the New Fourth Army and the Youth Army. He suddenly felt a headache and said, "No, even if the counterattack succeeds, Nanchang will be difficult to defend for a long time. It is too close to Nanjing and the Yangtze River."
Hearing what Jiang said, Bai Chongxi pointed to Xiangyang and said, "Let's take Xiangyang. This has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Our army can attack Zaoyang and Suizhou from here. If we conquer these two places, our army can threaten Wuhan."
Already."
Agent Jiang touched his chin and was very satisfied with this place and said, "Okay, then start preparing a battle plan immediately. Let's call it the Winter Counterattack!"

Jiang Cheng looked at a container full of Japanese yen in front of him, and pushed hard. The container shook a little, but then there was no response. Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "How much does this cost? Did you use the raw materials I gave you?"
All spent?"
Kou Kou pointed to the container and said, "This is a 20-foot container, 38 cubic meters, all priced at 100 yen. Because it is old, it is thicker. There are 1.3 billion. You can count it yourself."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I still can't trust you. The promised money will be sent to you, so I'll leave first. Your sister Nana is still waiting for me to go back for dinner."
When Kou Kou saw Jiang Cheng leaving, she stretched out her hand to say something, but said nothing.
Jiang Cheng looked at Kou Kou, scratched his head and said, "How about we come together?"
Koko immediately smiled and said, "Okay, what are you going to eat today?"
Jiang Cheng touched his chin and said, "I bet five yuan on potatoes and beef, she will make this."
--Berlin
Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa and listened to Schacht talk about recent events.
Schacht said to Jiang Cheng, "Thanks to you, the head of state later sent people to investigate, and it turned out that Britain and France were negotiating with the Soviet Union. We also thoroughly saw through the true colors of Britain and France. They are a group of devils! A group of liars!"
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, but he understood that the talks between Britain, France and the Soviet Union were absolutely fruitless.
Even if the Munich Agreement gave Germany permission to annex Czechoslovakia, it was also a pass issued by Britain and France to Germany to approve its attack on the Soviet Union. This was an admission that Germany at this time was no longer the Germany that needed to be restricted after World War I.
Today, under the premise of increasingly tense European affairs, contact between Britain, France and the Soviet Union has begun. The Soviet Union naturally hopes that Britain, France and the Soviet Union will form an alliance. This mainly refers to anti-aggression mutual assistance between the three and joint protection of European security. In this way,
Put Germany, which had already lifted restrictions, back into the iron cage. However, during the talks between Britain, France and the Soviet Union, they hoped that the Soviet Union could help Poland. It would be best if Germany and Poland went to war, and the Soviet Union would go to war with Germany. In their hearts, the beast Germany was
If you go to eat in the Soviet Union, you will be damned if you can talk to someone who is not sincere.
Jiang Cheng handed Schacht a cigar and said, "I just came back from the United States. The economy there has been developing well recently."
Schacht exclaimed, "After all, the United States is the world's largest industrial country, and its foundation is much stronger than ours. If nothing else, our military spending has become increasingly tight recently, and people on Wall Street are no longer willing to lend us money."
Already."
Jiang Cheng knew Schacht's concerns. You must know that at this time, Germany owed as much as 33 billion marks in foreign debt. In history, Germany occupied most of Europe and collected occupation fees everywhere. By 1944, it could only collect
It’s just 47.6 billion marks. This 33 billion marks has been Germany’s military expenditure for nearly three years.
To put it bluntly, Schachter's economic magic is to constantly make IOUs and repay IOUs with IOUs, so that the borrower can see greater profits and then borrow money again.
Wall Street is willing to lend money to Germany in large part thanks to the economic crisis and Roosevelt. You know, in order to deal with the economic crisis, Roosevelt continued to increase tax rates, including an inheritance tax of 70% and a federal income tax of 63%. This caused a large amount of money to escape.
Went to magical Germany.
Jiang Cheng said with relief, "No need to be nervous, the Rome plan was successful, wasn't it? We got a lot of resources and wealth from Czechoslovakia, and the money was enough to support the empire for a period of time."
