Zhou Weiguo naturally didn't know that the British were seeking an independent division, or rather, he. He probably only knew about the formation of the expeditionary force in late December.
"The Japanese are very fierce." Liu Yuan sighed, "Is it true that neither Britain nor the United States has made preparations?"
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "One of them."
"Eh." Liu Yuan sighed again.
"Brother, why have you been sighing lately?"
"I always feel that the world is changing too fast, and I can't keep up." Liu Yuan said helplessly. On the Soviet-German battlefield, the Soviet Union launched a counterattack! On December 9, the Soviet Red Army liberated Rogachevo, and on the 11th, it liberated Isla
Terra, Solnechnogorsk was liberated on the 12th! Things seemed to be developing according to what Zhou Weiguo said, which made him a little confused, and he even felt that Zhou Weiguo was really eloquent.
Zhou Weiguo laughed. Yes, if he hadn't come from later generations, he would have felt that the world has changed after looking at the changes in a year, "Then try hard to follow. What's more, I should have roughly said these things before.
"
"This is what I'm curious about." Liu Yuan looked at Zhou Weiguo with serious eyes, "It's something that no one can predict. Why did you predict it?"
"As the old saying goes, good fortune lies in the presence of misfortune, and misfortune lies in the presence of good fortune." Zhou Weiguo thought for a while and then said, "No one can win all the time. Likewise, no one can lose all the time. Just like the Japanese devils.
When they attacked us, the enemy's momentum was strong at the beginning, but now, they are weak. The same is true for Germany's attack on the Soviet Union. It was overwhelming at the beginning. After all, the Soviet Union is the Soviet Union of the Soviets, not the Soviet Union of Germany. The lengthening of the logistics line, the supply
Difficulties and many things can become factors that affect the outcome of a war."
"So, it's like Japan is attacking Southeast Asia and you don't think highly of the Japanese. Even if the Japanese are running rampant now without any hindrance." Liu Yuan nodded, still agreeing.
"That's right. Wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. Invasion is a recipe for death. Japan will eventually be defeated. The final victory in this war will be ours." Zhou Weiguo smiled, "It's just a matter of time.
.I also hope that the Japanese can be driven away as soon as possible, but if the battlefield is on our own land, countless civilians will be implicated."
"Understood." Liu Yuan nodded, "Now, the Japanese probably wake up laughing when they sleep, right?"
"Hahaha."
…
At the White House, Roosevelt read Churchill's letter, "Dear Roosevelt, I feel that China is an indispensable force in the Eastern Pacific. Although they are also being invaded by Japan and they have lost large areas of their territory, Japan, in their
There are not many benefits in hand. Japan is now unable to make any progress..."
"Hull, what happened to the draft of the United Nations Declaration?" Roosevelt looked at Hull and put down Churchill's letter. He knew Churchill's plan and felt that Churchill's plan was beneficial to them.
In the Pacific region, the most familiar with the Japanese army is the Chinese army. They have been fighting for several years, and Japan has also lost many people in China.
Therefore, he agreed with Churchill's strategy.
"It's being revised." Hull replied.
"To speed up, we must unite the anti-French (fa) and Spanish (xi) (si) forces around the world to fight against those evil invaders." Roosevelt said, "Now, the Japanese troops in Southeast Asia are unstoppable.
No one can stop us, we must speed up! Otherwise, the only loss will be our American interests!"
"I understand."
…
"Your Excellency Commander, telegram from base camp."
"read!"
"Hi! ... In short, we must continue to work hard to win more resources for the empire! We must make a quick breakthrough when Britain and the United States are not prepared!"
"Call back to the base camp. The Southern Army will definitely follow His Majesty the Emperor's will and expand territory for the empire! Win the war!"
"Hi!"
…
December 20, Jinan.
"Weiguo, telegram from Chairman of the Generalissimo." Liu Yuan frowned and walked in with the telegram.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Weiguo asked.
"Take a look."
Zhou Weiguo received the telegram, glanced at it, and frowned. He was asked to serve as the combat staff of the expeditionary force. The expeditionary force! In order to protect the international communication line of the Yunnan-Burma Highway? Let him serve as the division commander of the independent division.
The combat staff officer of the group army?
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Liu Yuan was not satisfied, "At least he should be leading the army alone!"
Zhou Weiguo smiled. Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that he would become bigger, and asking him to join the expeditionary force was probably a request from the British. Otherwise, Chiang Kai-shek would not let Zhou Weiguo join the expeditionary force.
However, historically, the expeditionary force was miserably deceived by the Allies. Not only did the supplies promised by the British fail to be delivered, but they also dragged down the Chinese army. The British Army can be said to be the most deceived army.
Because of such allies, many soldiers of the expeditionary force were buried in foreign lands.
Zhou Weiguo closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then said, "Reply Chairman, I accept this appointment." Just for the sake of those soldiers.
"Yes?" Liu Yuan wanted to say something else.
"Needless to say." Zhou Weiguo smiled, "If I don't do many things, it turns out that they will come to you. To form an expeditionary force, you must deal with allies from several other countries. I will go, no matter how suitable it is.
but."
"But, he's not the chief of staff, not the deputy chief of staff, he's just a combat staff officer!" Liu Yuan was worried that Zhou Weiguo would be tricked.
"So what? Brother, you don't have to worry." Zhou Weiguo said helplessly. He didn't have to go. If he didn't go, would the expeditionary force follow the trajectory of history and be completely fooled by the British ally? Maybe someone
Is it okay to remind him? However, with Zhou Weiguo’s current status, what position should he take to remind him? He is not familiar with several senior leaders of the expeditionary force. What’s more, if he wants to say bad things about the British, will anyone believe it?
No, no one will believe it.
After all, Britain fought bravely against Germany.
"How can you not worry?" Liu Yuan also felt that there was no one left, "Can you be more careful?"
"It's still growing!" Zhou Weiguo replied with a smile, "Don't worry, brother."
"What if the national army wants to harm you?" What Liu Yuan is most worried about is actually this issue.
Even if it's unfavorable, he has to go. Zhou Weiguo sighed inwardly. He went not to fight for power, but just for those soldiers. After all, they are all Chinese people. "Okay, brother, please forward this telegram to the central government first and ask.
Can we ask for the leader’s opinion?”
Liu Yuan was helpless, "This is the only way."
In the afternoon, Zhou Weiguo received another telegram. The central government agreed that Zhou Weiguo accept the appointment, but at the same time reminded Zhou Weiguo to be careful in everything.
