Chapter 472 The Shadow of the Strategic Bomber (1)
After listening to Wu Peifu's story, Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel nervous. In the past, the Japanese army had not carried out mopping up operations, and there were many large-scale raids. The cage policy and iron wall siege were all broken by the Eighth Route Army, but the real
Most of the Eighth Route Army troops who broke out of the encirclement and the common people hid in the nearby mountains. When the Japanese troops were attracted by the Eighth Route Army, they would return to the village. After all, everything could be taken away, but the patches of land and crops were not.
There was no way to take them away, and the Japanese army would not specifically deal with the common people and let the Eighth Route Army go. But this time it sounded like that was not the case at all. The Japanese army wanted to kill all the people who might be related to the Eighth Route Army.
Yuan Shu said to Wu Peifu, "This information is really important. I will find a way to pass it on immediately."
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Yuan Shu and Wu Peifu couldn't help but look at the door nervously. Wu Peifu waved to Yuan Shu and said, "Who is it?"
"Sir, it's me. Commander Okamura Neiji is here to visit. He's just outside the door." It was the voice of the old butler.
"Okamura Neji? Why is he here?" Yuan Shu looked at Wu Peifu in surprise.
Wu Peifu touched his beard and asked, "Did anyone see you when you came?"
Yuan Shu thought for a while and said, "There shouldn't be anyone, but this is Beiping, so I can't guarantee it."
Wu Peifu said, "This matter cannot be avoided. Let's go see him together. You should be ready to say something."
Yuan Shu immediately said, "Okay, let me tell you that I am here to persuade you to cooperate well with the Japanese army."
The two walked to the door together. Wu Peifu waved his hand, and the old housekeeper quickly opened the door. Wu Peifu walked out and looked at Okamura Neji with the guards and gifts. He couldn't help but think of Okamura Neji's terrifying plan, and his face became ugly.
He didn't say anything for three minutes, just stood there.
This made Neji Okamura feel normal. After all, he was going to massacre other people's hometowns. If Wu Peifu saw that he was still smiling, he would think it was abnormal. He first cupped his hands and said with a smile, "General Wu, I didn't say hello for my late night visit.
I'm really rude. I just saw that General Wu didn't look well today. I was worried that you might be ill, so I paid a visit overnight. Here are some warming herbs. I hope you'll accept them."
The old housekeeper looked at Wu Peifu, saw Wu Peifu nodded slightly, and then stepped forward to take it. At this time, Okamura Neji also saw Yuan Shu, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Yuan Shu quickly walked out and bowed to Okamura Neji.
He said, "General Okamura, this is really a coincidence. I'm here to persuade you...to see General Wu's health."
Wu Peifu waved his hand and said, "Okay, General Okamura is a distinguished guest. Please come in. Serve good tea!"
Everyone came to the hall and sat down. The servants and maids served tea and snacks. Wu Peifu waved his hand, and the uninvolved people retreated. Okamura Neji smiled slightly, drank a cup of tea, and said to Wu Peifu, "I don't know what General Wu said about today's meeting."
What do you think of the plan?"
Wu Peifu hummed, "What do you think? Will General Okamura still consider my opinion?"
Yuan Shu glanced at Okamura Neiji from the opposite side. Okamura Neiji also guessed the purpose of Yuan Shu's visit before, so he continued to Wu Peifu, "Of course we have to consider it. General Wu is a famous general in Shandong.
Countless people regard General Wu as a role model, but I already think this plan is perfect. I really don’t know where to start. I wonder what General Wu has in mind?"
Wu Peifu clenched his fist and said to Okamura Neiji, "General Okamura, what we Chinese value is benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, especially in Shandong. What we value is benevolence and righteousness. You are familiar with Chinese culture and you should know that we have plains and mountains in Shandong.
There are sages like Master Kong and Liangshan heroes. If you implement your plan there, I'm afraid that what you get in the end won't be what you want."
Okamura Neiji shook his head and said, "No, General Wu, I don't think so. Since ancient times, governing the people has been nothing more than a combination of kindness and power. In the past, when those foreign races entered China, they not only had butcher's knives, but also the Analects of Confucius, and they could safely rule for several centuries.
A hundred years? General Wu, I hope you can understand that if there were no Red Party and Eighth Route Army, then Shandong today would only be better, and people would not die every day like today. So to really make Shandong better, we must make Shandong better.
The anti-Japanese forces have been completely eliminated, I hope you can understand." After saying that, Okamura Neji stood up and bowed 90 degrees to Wu Peifu.
Wu Peifu was really funny and angry when he saw Okamura Neji like this. I have to say that the Japanese can bow to you to show respect and then kill your whole family with one knife, and also seriously say that this is etiquette. If this is etiquette.
, do you want me to treat your whole family with courtesy?
Wu Peifu gritted his teeth, but still knew that the overall situation should be the most important thing. He sighed and said, "I hope General Okamura can understand the suffering of the people. If he can avoid killing, it is better not to kill." After saying that, Wu Peifu stood up and said, "I'm sorry, my body is still good.
If I feel a little uncomfortable, I won’t stay any longer.”
In the car, Yuan Shu sat next to Okamura Neiji. Okamura Neiji had a good influence on Yuan Shu. He felt that he was a person who did things. He asked Yuan Shu, "When did you go to Wu Peifu's house?"
of?"
Yuan Shu said, "I arrived at about eight o'clock. I got the news that Wu Peifu came out with a bad look on his face, and I knew that he had some opinions on our plan, so I came to inquire about the news. If I can make him sincerely serve us, then I can count on him."
The finger was not given to him in vain."
Okamura Neiji looked at Yuan Shu's severed finger, nodded, dispelled his doubts and said, "Wu Peifu must be steady. He is our signature. If you do good things, the empire will not forget you."
Yuan Shu nodded to express his gratitude.

"This is our accounting report for this month. Take a look at it. In addition, this is the list of personnel and reports for the US distribution, Oceania branch, and European branch. This is the latest achievement of our R&D center. This is the recent report by major media.
Our reports and this are changes in some of our personnel, which require your signature to confirm."
Sun Ning put documents one by one on Jiang Cheng's desk. Jiang Cheng also picked up a pen and signed constantly. Although Sun Ning often signed on his behalf, sometimes Jiang Cheng still had to sign.
It will take effect only if you sign it yourself.
"We have branches all over the world? Soon, have we started formal marketing?" Jiang Cheng looked at the bilingual documents and said with a smile. These things were all handled by Sun Ning, and Jiang Cheng didn't care at all.
Pass.
"Well, according to your request, most of the employees are local people, but some supervisory positions are occupied by us Chinese. In addition, an important requirement for those foreign employees is to be able to speak Chinese. Your English is not bad, why?
Like those young people, they hate foreign languages so much." Sun Ning asked curiously.
Jiang Cheng would not tell Sun Ning that his foreign language skills were all due to Gallagher. If it weren't for this foreign bug, he would only have a CET-3 English proficiency at best - because he has not passed CET-4 in the university exam for four years.
Jiang Cheng chuckled and said, "I can't go to various countries and have to speak their languages when I go to meetings. This is good, and it will help me popularize Chinese. Well, in half a year at most, I will have a lot more people here."
European cultural relics, you have to prepare in advance... Well, what will happen if you say there are two paintings of Van Gogh's Sunflowers?"
Sun Ning rolled her eyes at Jiang Cheng and said, "It's not going to happen. Van Gogh painted six pairs of sunflowers. You, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, please get some common sense beforehand. How many will they probably be?"
Jiang Cheng touched his chin and said, "There should be tens of thousands of items. Didn't we open a branch in Europe? I think we can hold an auction to sell these antiques."
Sun Ning was surprised when he heard such a large amount. He nodded and said, "With this amount, we can give it a try, but the water in the auction house is very deep. It is not easy for us to be a dragon across the river, but Macau
This place is good. As our special administrative region and close to our mainland, it is easy for us to control and we can reassure our superiors."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Sun Ning brushed his hair with his hand and asked, "Tens of thousands of cultural relics... is France going to perish?"
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he became excited and said, "Isn't that right? Hitler should have been unable to bear it for a long time. By then, we will have the cultural relics in France, the Netherlands, Belgium and other places. I remember that Goering was the only one in history."
His collection has more than 5,000 famous paintings and 160,000 pieces of jewelry. It is simply a museum. I will replace it with our modern gadgets when the time comes. Besides, what Hitler actually wants most is to fight for the survival of his Germanic nation.
I don’t really care about space, cultural relics and antiques.”
Sun Ning thought about it. Historically, in the middle and late stages of World War II, Hitler's strategy and tactics completely changed to defending every inch of territory, which made the German army extremely passive. It completely lost the advantage of the German army's flexibility and mobility. Instead, it was kicked everywhere by the Allies.
Thanks to the strength of the German army, otherwise it would not have lasted 45 years.
After handling the matter at the company, Jiang Cheng went home with Yu Na and Sun Ning and got out of the car. As usual, Jiang Cheng waved to Zifeng who was watching (protecting) him from the opposite side. Zifeng put down the telescope with a snort.
He quickly went downstairs and jumped into Jiang Cheng's house, ready to have dinner.
The next day, Jiang Cheng came to a small pier in Lingang. A cruise ship had been parked there for a long time, and it was Chen Ce who was waiting outside. When Chen Ce saw Jiang Cheng, he smiled and waved and said, "Come up quickly, I'm just sending you."
One is here, ready to sail."
Jiang Cheng ran up and walked into the cabin. Ying Tianlin was drinking juice. There were model airplanes on the table one by one. They were all exquisite and beautiful.
"Ah, here we come, please take a seat first. The ship is about to sail. You called me and said you wanted a larger bomber. I immediately helped you choose a lot, including everything I can get from World War II to modern times.
, but many of the aircraft here are no longer in production and have to be remanufactured.”
Jiang Cheng picked up an airplane model and looked at it. He couldn't help but feel that it looked familiar and asked, "Is this plane a B-29?"
Ying Tianlin took a look and said, "Yes, Super Sky Fortress. It was he who dropped the two atomic bombs back then. Although he hates the United States, in terms of strategic bombers, during World War II, the United States was really the only one. The Soviet Union
There is only this Pe-8, but it is not as good as the American aircraft in terms of range and bomb load, and its production is very small. By the way, there are also British products. In fact, I recommend the latter ones, all of which are
After World War II, for example, this Bear bomber is still in service in Russia. If you want, I can get some at any time. How many do you want?"
In Ying Tianlin's view, although bombers are good, they are not meant to fight a world war. Except for a few major countries, there are not too many bombers. Even India has only three hundred fighter planes. Professional bombers
Less than a hundred.
Jiang Cheng looked at all the planes and said, "Please help me arrange them by year."
Ying Tianlin waved to the people behind him. Naturally, someone else would do such a job. After a while, planes were arranged one after another. When Jiang Cheng saw that the last one was a smaller plane, he
Asking “What is this plane?”
Ying Tianlin sighed and said, "The B-17 was first produced in 1935 and entered service in 1938."
When Jiang Cheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He had served in the US military in 1938, which means that the time and space of the Republic of China already existed. The next step is to let Japan focus on the Pacific as soon as possible, and its voyage is nearly 3,000
Kilometers, although bombing Tokyo is not reliable, bombing Northeast China is enough for a round trip.
Jiang Cheng immediately made the decision and said, "Okay, that's it. I'll do two hundred first. This thing requires a large amount to be effective."
"Two hundred? Are you going to fight a world war?" Ying Tianlin was shocked when he heard this. In fact, two hundred is not that much in a world war. Historically, 12,700 B-17s were produced.
It is said that it has more airborne machine guns than the Eighth Route Army had during the Chinese Anti-Japanese War. This was the strength of the United States at that time.
Although Ying Tianlin is used to Jiang Cheng's generosity, this is a large bomber, and there are two hundred of them at once. The power of these two hundred is enough to destroy a small country. Even Ying Tianlin is hesitant.
Jiang Cheng had other ideas. He asked Ying Tianlin, "I want to know, is this kind of large aircraft really difficult to manufacture?"
Ying Tianlin thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Actually, if you say it's difficult, it's not that difficult. If you say it's easy, it's indeed not easy. Especially this kind of large aircraft is the most test of a country's comprehensive strength. Look at us
In China, for so many years, large planes have been holding back urine for so long, just like holding back urine, you will know if there is any trace of it."
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "I mean, is it possible that you produce part of it here, and I produce part of it somewhere else, and then assemble it? I want to produce some parts of the aircraft that are not very complicated."
