The performance of the German army on the battlefield gave many people a bad premonition, especially the alliance between Germany and Japan.
Europe and the United States, including the United States, have not yet joined the war. Europe is in complete chaos. Now, except for the United Kingdom, most other European countries are trembling under the iron heel of the German army.
The Soviet Union and Japan signed another treaty.
Looking around, China's resistance to Japan was for a time a matter of its own country.
Let’s not talk about Southeast Asia. It would be nice if we don’t get kicked out by Japan and run all over the map.
In Jinan, Zhou Weiguo continued to look at the map, making deductions on the sand table from time to time, listening to Liu Yuan report on recent current events, or in other words, intelligence.
"Because of Germany's performance, some people feel that the fight against Japan is beyond the reach of manpower. In addition, the Japanese army was restrained during the previous one-year mediation period. After the mediation period, the Japanese army still restrained themselves. They feel..."
"I think it's not that unacceptable to be under Japanese rule, right?" Zhou Weiguo raised his head and looked at Liu Yuan. Life has become a little more comfortable, and some people have forgotten the pain. Also, Japan has been resisting Japan for several years.
People are still there, but it's a bit ugly to them soldiers.
Liu Yuan nodded, "It is because Japan has formed an alliance with Germany. Germany has been too brave, and Japan has a contract with the Soviet Union. It is understandable that some people have lost confidence."
Zhou Weiguo sighed. He couldn't blame some people for thinking so. To be honest, Zhou Weiguo was waiting for an opportunity when the time came, an opportunity to weaken the enemy's strength on other lands. He had to wait for Japan and the United States to also fall out before he could fight with some people.
Talking about the conditions can be of some benefit to the country and the nation.
When Japan is wreaking havoc in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, Europe and the United States will remember that there is a country in Asia that has been fighting the Japanese for a long time.
Historically, it was indeed after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor that China joined the Allied Forces. The Nationalist Government also officially declared war on Japan. Some people may say that of course the Nationalist Government cannot declare war with Japan. Once war is declared, various resources will be lost.
It will be shut down, which is not conducive to the war of resistance.
Admittedly, this is one of the reasons.
But another reason is that the Nationalist Government had the idea of peace talks with Japan. Otherwise, the puppet Nationalist Government and Chiang Kai-shek would not have sent people to Hong Kong for round-table talks. If the Japanese had not repeatedly touched the Nationalist Government's bottom line
, began a thorough and comprehensive invasion of China, the Nationalist government must still be appeasing Japan. Therefore, this is the difference between politicians and soldiers.
China is weak and has no say or diplomacy. But the bones of Chinese soldiers are still straight after all. They would rather use blood, meat, corpses, and their own lives to defend this country than see China fall and become
Japan's back garden, colony.
"We don't care what other people think. We should do our own thing well and wait until the sword is out of its sheath!" Zhou Weiguo set the tone and comforted Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan nodded to express his understanding.
"By the way, brother, continue to pay attention to the situation in the Soviet Union, and then focus on what the Japanese are doing in Southeast Asia." Zhou Weiguo thought for a while and felt that he still had to explain it to Liu Yuan.
"Don't worry." Liu Yuan nodded, "I will tell you if the Japanese make any moves."
"Okay." Zhou Weiguo nodded and continued to look at the map, and the map was surprisingly a map of Southeast Asia. Zhou Weiguo was recalling what happened on the entire Pacific battlefield. Just because he didn't attack now, it didn't mean he wouldn't fight the Japanese.
Of course, important locations like Midway Island have also been marked by Zhou Weiguo.
He didn't remember some details very clearly, so he needed to recall and deduce it again. After all, it would always be much more beneficial to his side if he could know the enemy's layout in advance. What's more, in the Pacific battlefield, China, as the leader around the Pacific
As a big country, it is inevitable to play the role that it should have.
Although, when later generations described the Pacific War, they mostly talked about the US military and the Japanese army.
The important contributions made by the Chinese people to the anti-Japanese movement are still not taken seriously by some people and countries until now.
In fact, China was the biggest victim in World War II. According to statistics, there were 35 million military and civilian casualties, but the real casualties may be far more than this number. Because in some unknown places, there are still unknown souls buried.
Bones, no one knows.
Beasts have committed brutal acts. When we go to count them, how do we count them? Based on the household registers in the hands of the National Government at that time? How many refugees were there without household registrations in that era?
During the statistics, when faced with such a large number of casualties, has anyone ever felt sad? Or maybe, to them, this is just a number.
For many people in later generations, this is just a number, a piece of history, a piece of history that has been talked about countless times.
But when Zhou Weiguo returned to this era, all he saw were living people.
35 million.
"35 million." Zhou Weiguo sighed, rubbed his eyebrows, and his thoughts suddenly wandered away again. Maybe it was because of what Liu Yuan reported today, which made Zhou Weiguo feel a little sad.
…
"Your Majesty the Head of State, we have overwhelming power in the Soviet Union and are marching eastward! The Soviets simply cannot organize effective resistance!"
"Very good! Very good! Hahaha!"
The little man laughed. The progress of the German army in the Soviet Union was very satisfactory to him. "If this continues, our great Germany can destroy the Soviet Union in three months!"
"That's what His Excellency the Head of State said!"
"Logistics must keep up! Now that the empire is fighting on the east and west fronts, the logistics line is too long, which is detrimental to the war. Do you understand? Let the warriors work harder! Winter in Moscow is not fun!"
"Yes!"
…
The next day, Hitler's remarks about destroying the Soviet Union in three months were published in German newspapers! Some German people cheered and some were delighted! Most of them gave complete trust to the little Hitler!
…
Stalin held the newspaper and made a fist with his right hand. His knuckles turned white when he exerted force, "Get out! Do you really think that our Soviet Union is vulnerable?"
"Comrade Stalin, our Soviets will definitely fight back with all our strength! Our comrades in the Red Army will not retreat! They will definitely stop the invaders and defeat them!"
…
"Mustache, you really dare to say that he is not afraid of being slapped in the face?" Zhou Weiguo smiled. In fact, the slap in the face was very loud. In a few months, they will encounter a landslide, and the winter in Moscow will make them remember it deeply.
once.
"He is really confident! It's just like the Japanese clamoring to subjugate China in three months!" Liu Yuan was helpless, "Germany's military strength is much stronger than Japan's, and it has millions of soldiers in an attack. The Japanese simply
It can’t be compared, but I think it might still be possible.”
