Jiang Jingguo nodded and said that the young people have now expanded to seven divisions with 100,000 people. I have really learned a lot from the Chairman this year. Many divisions have been completely wiped out...except for Sun Liren, whom you recommended last time.
, I also dug... Or maybe the chairman of the committee transferred Fang Xianjue, and the other newcomers were Zhou Biao and Zhan Hua. Oh, this Zhan Hua is actually Zhan Huayu. 23us.
Fastest update
Sun Liren and Zhang Lingfu have already entered the expeditionary force with two divisions. The chairman's plan is to dispatch four reorganized armies to form a legion. The commander will be General Wei Lihuang, the deputy commander will be General Du Ming, and the four armies will
The numbers are respectively the 5th, 66th and 66th Army and the New First Army. Our two divisions belong to the New First Army and the Sixth Army respectively. All four armies are fully staffed. The entire expeditionary force has 140,000 people.
, but the equipment is still insufficient, but with the assistance of the Americans, it shouldn't be a problem.
Jiang smiled and said, I want to remind you not to have too much hope in this U.S. aid report. As far as I know, the British are very dissatisfied with the Americans giving us so much aid, and they also say they want to defend Southeast Asia.
, we don’t need to send troops, we just need to lend them the equipment that the Americans gave us. With the arrogant character of the British, I think that this time our expeditionary force goes out, the biggest enemy is not the enemy, but the friendly forces.
ah.
Jiang Jingguo took a breath. He had always trusted Jiang Cheng's judgment and couldn't help but ask. If this is the case, I think we must strengthen our own equipment. In any case, our two divisions cannot be lost.
Jiang Cheng nodded and said that I will get some more equipment to strengthen our troops. At least they must be able to protect themselves. In addition, I told Sun Liren and Zhang Lingfu that once the expeditionary force suffered a major failure, preserving ourselves comes first. Also, then
What Bian means is that we must find a way to control the expeditionary force. This is an extremely powerful force. At least in the future, this team cannot be allowed to become a weapon in the civil war.
Jiang Jingguo frowned and said that this is not easy. The commanders of the four armies are Du Ming, Gan Lichu, Zhang Zhen and Zheng Dongguo. Not only do the four of them have a background in Huangpu, they are valued by the Chairman, and they are also very capable. It is not easy to seize power.
ah.
Those who were valued by the Chiang Kai-shek and selected as generals of the expeditionary force were all high-ranking generals in the Chongqing National Army. Originally, the local warlords of the Guangxi clique and other factions hoped to get a share of the pie, but in the end, the Chiang Kai-shek did not give them any soup.
Instead, all parties mobilized 36 companies from the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army under Zhang Lingfu's newly formed 19th Division Youth Army of the Guangxi Clan to jointly form a new First Army. Since this was an expedition abroad, it was clear that the vehicles and horses were intended to fight the Japanese army.
Although Long Yun, Li Bai and others were furious, they had no choice but to comfort themselves with the American equipment they were about to receive.
Jiang Cheng understood and said, just try your best, there is no need to force anything. According to our analysis, the war between Japan and the United States will be this year. The Youth Army must be ready for counterattack at any time. By the way, you just said that our US aid equipment is insufficient.
, how many are there?
Jiang Jingguo smiled bitterly and said that neither of our two divisions had received American equipment anyway. Now it is said that only the 200th Division has received American aid.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but said in surprise: "How come there is only the 200th Division? This is too few. There may be a problem here."
Jiang Jingguo also felt something was wrong when he heard it and said, "When you said this, something seemed wrong."
Chongqing
Agent Jiang was looking at documents in the office. A knock on the door disturbed his thoughts. Agent Jiang put down the documents and said, come in.
Du Ming walked in, saluted Agent Jiang and said, "Commissioner Du Ming is here to report."
Agent Jiang saw Du Ming and said with a smile, "Let's do it." How was your chat with the American colonel named Eisenhower?
Du Ming smiled and said that they had communicated several times. As expected, he was from West Point Military Academy and had high military literacy. Moreover, he was very familiar with the situation in Southeast Asia. He had worked in Singapore for a long time and his attitude was relatively easy-going, unlike some foreigners.
He was arrogant, but I could tell that he was actually dissatisfied with many things about me, but he just kept it in his heart without saying anything.
Agent Jiang nodded and said, "This Eisenhower is very dignified. I deliberately ignored him last time just to see his reaction. I think this Eisenhower has the potential to enter politics... How much American equipment has he got?"
Du Ming lowered his head and said there weren't many. According to the order, the only one fully equipped now was the 200th Division, and it was far behind the real US divisions.
Agent Jiang squinted his eyes and asked why it was so slow...Didn't Eisenhower say that Burma already had enough equipment to equip four or five divisions when it arrived? The gap is not small. Please tell me.
Du Ming clenched his fists and said that he was not sure about the material transportation. As for the gap, a real American infantry division has 72 105mm, 12 155mm howitzers, and 90 combat anti-aircraft guns.
Above, we only have 12 75mm mountain cannons and 4 37mm combat anti-aircraft guns in our hands. Our 200th Division only has all the light weapons, and is short of two mountain cannons in heavy weapons.
...
Agent Jiang nodded and said okay, I understand, you can go down first.
Du Ming let out a breath and walked out. Agent Jiang nodded at the table, picked up the phone and asked Director Dai and Director Chen to come in.
After a while, Dai Li and Chen Lifu came in. They looked at each other and were a little surprised, wondering what happened.
Agent Jiang waved his hand and said, "Sit down first."
After the two sat down, Agent Jiang took a look and saw that they were only sitting half a seat. He was respectful to himself, nodded and said that US aid had begun to arrive, but there seemed to be some problems with transportation efficiency, and I
I have discovered that there are more and more luxury accessories on the market recently, and there is also the phenomenon of material hoarding. You should check it out and find out who did such a thing that harmed the country and the people at a time of national crisis. The military is responsible for foreign affairs, China
The system is responsible for internal affairs and must find out a result
Dai Li and Chen Lifu looked at each other and smiled bitterly in their hearts. What on earth is going on? Where should I check? To put it bluntly, there are few people transporting military supplies on that road, but there are many people transporting luxury jewelry. There are no roads on this road.
Knowing how many dignitaries are involved, can this be investigated? The investigation will go to the end, but we still don’t know who will be blamed.
What's the problem? Agent Jiang asked.
Guaranteed to complete the task Dai Li and Chen Lifu stood at attention and said.
Agent Jiang watched the two people retreat and sighed, "It's difficult."
Yangon
Are you crazy or am I hearing wrong? Do you know that these goods have been ordered a long time ago? If I send a truck less, will you pay or I will pay? Kong Lingkan shouted loudly in the office
shouted.
This is for your own good. Now the old man has spoken. Military supplies are the first priority. All non-U.S. aid items must be put away. U.S. aid must be shipped first and then you have to let us give an explanation to the higher-ups. That's right.
Hello everyone, and to put it bluntly, it’s just money. You can raise the price and sell it, a person on the other side of the phone advised.
Kong Lingkan smiled and said, "We are doing business by raising the price. Where can we raise the price so easily? And the higher the price, the fewer people will buy... Well, I won't make it too difficult for you to do business."
, but I can only take care of the parts that I can take care of, and I can't take care of the rest. Don't worry... I know what to do, but let me tell you, after you finish paying the job, I will restore it immediately...
The man on the other side of the phone smiled and said, OK, OK, then, if you arrange a scapegoat, you can also explain something to all parties.
After hanging up the phone, the man on the other end breathed out and said, Kong Lingkan has given us face, so prepare to arrest him.
Kong Lingkan on the other side looked outside the office and made sure that no one was eavesdropping. He took the phone and called again. After getting through, he said, "My name is Kong Lingkan." He immediately ordered people in the country to start hoarding goods in large quantities. In addition, Myanmar
It’s the same here, the more of whatever is better
Let me tell you, the old man is so obsessed with US aid that he is going crazy. Do you know what it means? Haha, Myanmar is about to start a war. When the time comes, will the price of supplies increase? This is a business opportunity. Stock up on them all.
After making the call, Kong Lingkan squinted his eyes and smiled. Of course he was willing to sacrifice part of his own interests because he had more interests. He looked outside and shouted to the outside to call Fatty Yang over.
After saying that, he turned around fiercely and said in a low voice: Damn it, you dare to take a private job by yourself, you really think I'm an idiot, I'll see how you die this time
Burma Highway
A convoy of cars was walking fast on the road. The guards on the car looked at the sky from time to time. Naturally, the Japanese army did not dare to attack on the road in Burma, but once they arrived in China, Japanese aircraft might appear overhead at any time.
In front of a roadblock in front of the car, an officer waved and said.
What are you doing? Do you know what kind of car this is? Can you afford the delay in the transportation of supplies? A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears got out of the car and cursed.
Huh... Do you think I can afford it? A man came out with a gloomy face. The middle-aged man looked at it and was shocked. Dai Bureau, what kind of wind has brought you here?
Dai Li smiled and said, "We suspect that there is a lot of illegal activity in the convoy you are leading. We want to check and search."
No... The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and said to the two adults, although this convoy is led by villains, but... this thing... can reach the sky.
The report found a soldier shouting loudly.
Dai Li walked forward and saw that a truck box contained a disassembled piano. He couldn't help but smile and said "Okay, grab it."
Kunming
Why do you need to raise the price? A man in a suit sighed and said that the price was agreed upon at the beginning, how could it be raised casually?
This is what the young master means, and I am responsible for conveying it. And as you know, the rumors have become tense recently, and some of us have been arrested. There are less goods, and the price is higher. Isn’t it normal?
Well, if you raise the price, I can also raise the price. Anyway, it’s not me who is unlucky in the end. The man in the suit said nonchalantly.
Chengdu
What? Haha, okay, then everyone should raise prices... If we don’t hoard all the supplies, I’m afraid this price increase has just begun. Let’s not be anxious. A white man sitting in the office was talking on the phone
said.
USA
Immediately send electricity to the country and ask the family to go to Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou and other places to purchase supplies, especially bristle and tung oil. Song Ziwen said with squinted eyes.
Chongqing
Well, good job. How dare this man be so bold? It is really unreasonable to immediately transfer him to the Military Justice Department and shoot him. The intermediary scrawled a few words on the document and handed it to Dai Li. Dai Li and Chen Lifu looked at each other, and the stone in their hearts was finally
Put it down.
Agent Jiang thought for a while and said that this matter should not be expanded. If the allies know about it, it will be a disgraceful thing after all. Do you understand?
Yes Yes
After the two of them went out, Agent Jiang looked out the window and said that he hoped these people could restrain themselves.
Not to mention the Chongqing government’s so-called blow that started but ended in a tailspin, on the other side of the world, a war is about to take place in Africa.
At this time, the United Kingdom occupied the Strait of Gibraltar and Egypt, the two entrances to the Mediterranean, while the Axis powers occupied the middle part. This made it extremely difficult for the German and Italian navies to enter and exit the Mediterranean. Dönitz's submarines could only rely on ocean currents.
Float in and out underneath to ensure safety.
And if the German-Italian coalition forces capture Egypt, Britain's connections with Asia will be significantly affected. The troops after capturing North Africa can also take the opportunity to march into the Middle East. At that time, they can attack the Soviet Caucasus in the north and India in the east. This will be very important to the German army.
The strategies were all extremely favorable, so Hitler and Mussolini decided to start the Second North African Campaign. Rommel also officially became the commander-in-chief of the Afrika Korps, beginning the most glorious chapter in his military career.
There are not many real British troops in Egypt now, less than 40,000 people. Most of them are drawn from Asia and other places. The rest are servants such as the Indian Army and the Egyptian Army. The total force is about 130,000. Staff
Introducing the situation to Rommel and others.
What about technical equipment? Rommel asked.
According to our intelligence, in addition to the navy, they have at least 700 tanks, more than 500 aircraft, and more than 800 artillery pieces. In addition, we found traces of American equipment in their troops, which is why their strength has increased.
It's so fast, the Americans have contributed a lot. The staff officer continued. To be continued...
