Chapter 945 944 [Development]

If France loses lives at the start, and the United States grows poorly under the Ten Thousand Years Tower, then the Soviet Union has been playing jungle.

No, after carving up Poland and occupying the borders of Finland, the three Baltic countries were swallowed up by the Soviet Union. For Stalin, all this was preparation for future wars, that is, strengthening the depth of defense and expanding the buffer zone with Germany.

In the English Channel, after Germany conducted some exploratory bombings, it finally officially implemented the "Eagle Sun Plan."

The radar station along the British coast was bombed wildly, but only the external antenna was bombed. The radar control room was not damaged at all. After simple repairs, it was put into use again. At this time, Germany did not pay much attention to radar, and its senior commanders did not know enough about radar. When the German army detected radar signals again, they felt that bombing the radar station was useless, so they concentrated their firepower and continued to bomb the air base.

Just when the British air force bases suffered heavy losses one after another, Churchill finally decided to use Zhou Hexuan's bad idea. He did not try to persuade the National Defense Committee, but directly ordered the Air Force to bomb Berlin, claiming that it was a stray bombing. Over the next week, the British air force bombed Berlin twice more by mistake, successfully irritating Hitler and Göring.

Germany's major bombing of London began early, and Labor MPs immediately severely criticized Churchill, believing that he was using London citizens as bait. Don't blame the Labor Party for being too short-sighted. After all, they are responsible for internal affairs construction, and now they have inherited a lot of mess.

Churchill refused to admit that he was killed. He insisted that he bombed German military facilities. Like when he later heard the news about Coventry being bombed, his acting skills were so superb that everyone thought he really didn't know anything about it.

Let us turn our attention to China again. With the arrival of the British and American special envoys, Chiang Kai-shek finally got over his addiction to "all nations coming to Korea". Britain and the United States continued to make concessions and offered to grant China trade loans of 3 million pounds and 50 million US dollars respectively, but Britain still refused to open the Burma Road. Because borrowing can be done under the guise of international trade, but opening the Burma Highway means going to war with Japan.

Hitler was very interesting. He sent the ambassador to Japan and the ambassador to China frequently, trying to build bridges to speed up Sino-Japanese negotiations.

This move played into the Japanese military's ambitions. Even without the good show sung by Zhou Hexuan, the war in the summer of 1940 was not intense. Japan reduced its offensive on the national army front, turned to a large-scale sweep of North China, and continued to tempt the Nationalist government to surrender.

It was under this circumstance that several bosses resolutely launched the "Hundred Regiments War" with the purpose of resisting the Japanese aggressors' raids on the battlefield behind enemy lines and curbing the surrender tendency of the national army's local troops.

Now that Germany has stepped forward to lead China's surrender, and Chiang Kai-shek has shown his willingness to surrender, the Japanese military is naturally overjoyed and has even completely slowed down its offensive on all fronts.

Wang Zhaoming suddenly panicked and ran to Tokyo to see Konoe Fumima in person, saying that this was all Chang Kaishen's conspiracy. Chang Kaishen cannot be trusted, and Gao Zongwu is even less trustworthy. Japan must not fall into Chang Kaishen's tricks.

…

Chongqing, Yunxiu Tower.

Feng Yuxiang slammed the table: "You can't surrender. If you surrender, you will be a sinner! If your brother surrenders, I will lead the troops to fight guerrillas, and we will never be friends again!"

Chang Kaishen smiled and reassured: "Brother Huanzhang, don't listen to the rumors. How could I surrender?"

"Then what's going on with Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng? One is having secret talks with Japan, and the other is on a mission to Germany," Feng Yuxiang said angrily, "These two damn traitors, I thought they were men who could wake up halfway. I didn't expect them to be dogs." You can’t change your habit of eating shit!”

Chang Kaishen said: "It's really a rumor, it's all a Japanese conspiracy."

Feng Yuxiang still didn't believe it. He tried to persuade him from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms": "Brother, you are the leader of China. Wang Zhaoming can surrender, Li Zongren can surrender, Yan Xishan can surrender, Long Yun can surrender, even I can surrender, but only you. You cannot surrender. You are a national hero in the war of resistance, but you are a sinner for the ages by surrendering. We can live in peace and get benefits if we surrender. You will definitely step down with an infamy, and then Wang Zhaoming will be the leader of the surrendering government!"

Chang Kaishen smiled helplessly: "What should I do so that you are willing to believe it?"

Feng Yuxiang said: "Recall Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng immediately."

"They have important tasks and cannot be recalled." Chang Kaishen said.

Feng Yuxiang jumped up immediately, pointed at Chang Kaishen and said: "Look, look, you really sent these two traitors! If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave!"

Chang Kaishen knew that Feng Yuxiang was a big talker and didn't want to reveal the information. He immediately said with a straight face: "I have some important matters to deal with. Brother Huanzhang, please excuse me."

"What's important? What's important? Is it important to surrender?" Feng Yuxiang asked one after another, and said aggressively, "Believe it or not, I will go to Yan'an immediately to surrender to the Communists, and our Northwest Army will also join the collective surrender to the Communists!"

Chang Kaishen was immediately overwhelmed. Feng Yuxiang still had influence on several Northwest Army units, and he himself was also famous. He must not allow them to surrender to the Communist Party. Not only that, Chang Kaishen mainly focused on winning over leftists and liberal scholars, and even built a third hall of the Political Department of the Military Commission to accommodate them.

Most of the members of the Third Department of the Political Department of the Military Commission are secretly led by the Communist Party, and the rest are also inclined to the Communist Party. Some time ago, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to abolish the Third Department, but he was afraid that these people would go to Yan'an, so he planned to set up a new department to stabilize it.

Even Chang Kaishen didn't want to let famous scholars and literati go to Yan'an, let alone Feng Yuxiang, who had influence on the Northwest Army?

Chang Kaishen thought about it and said, "Brother Huanzhang, I can give you an explanation, but you must keep it secret."

"Speak quickly, if I leak the news, then I will be a bitch!" Feng Yuxiang has lived in Beibei for a long time and speaks Sichuan dialect.

Chang Kaishen whispered: "This is a cruel trick planned by Zhou Mingcheng, a fake surrender. The purpose is to force the British to reopen the Burma Highway."

Feng Yuxiang was dumbfounded and said in shock: "This is such a child's play for a major military matter."

Chang Kaishen said with a smile: "It seems to be working very well so far, even better than expected. Both the UK and the US have agreed to borrow money from China, and I even want to blackmail Germany. To tell you the truth, recently I have This sentence, "The sky is brighter when you take a step back," has gained new insights."

"I'm afraid the Germans' rip-off will be difficult to extract. It's impossible for them to provide actual benefits until China truly surrenders." Feng Yuxiang shook his head and said.

Chang Kaishen said: "No matter what, you can give it a try. The British have completely panicked and even promised to abolish the previous unequal treaties, cancel extraterritoriality and concessions in China."

"Is Hong Kong also willing to return it to China?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

Chang Kaishen shook his head and said: "Even if they are willing to return Hong Kong, I can't take it."

Feng Yuxiang said: "Absolutely not, it is a nail and cannot be pulled out. By the way, when will the Yunnan-Burma Highway be reopened?"

Chang Kaishen said depressedly: "The British are too timid and would rather return the concession than reopen the Burma Highway."

Feng Yuxiang said: "Let it go if it suits you. If Britain is willing to reopen the Burma Highway, this cruel trick should not continue."

"I understand, I understand." Of course Chang Kaishen understood. During this period, domestic public opinion was extremely unfavorable to him.

Feng Yuxiang said with emotion: "Brother Zhou is really good at taking the wrong side of the sword. He is a cultural man. I will treat him to a drink when he returns to China."
