Zhou Wen's explanations and compliments reduced the commander's dissatisfaction a lot, and the sullen look on his face was slightly reduced. After all, it was very comfortable to get the favor of this little bastard.
He immediately said: "The dreams you mentioned are not unfounded. Now the Japanese have begun to take action in the Northeast. So tell me, how many years do we have to prepare?"
Zhou Wen carefully observed the commander's expression and confirmed that he was no longer angry, and then replied thoughtfully: "Well... I can't count my little nephew, but seeing that the Japanese army currently doesn't have many troops in the Northeast, it will take a while." I'm afraid we won't start a full-scale war yet. But my nephew estimates that it won't take more than seven or eight years, because the military and people in the country demand a war of resistance. Even if the Japanese army doesn't go to war by then, our government will probably have to comply with the people's sentiments and take the initiative to regain the Northeast. This is not something that can be decided by one family or one surname, but the wish of the 40 million people across the country. It is the general trend. Unless Japan withdraws from the Northeast, you always say is this possible? The wolf can still eat the meat in its mouth. Spit it out?
Moreover, my nephew estimates that the Japanese will make follow-up actions after taking action in Northeast China, and will continue to provoke and test our country's bottom line. As long as we take a step back, they will take a step forward and press forward step by step. As long as we wait and see their subsequent actions, we will probably know their ambitions. "
The marshal laughed angrily at Zhou Wen's pretentious expression, pointed at him and scolded him with a smile: "You kid, don't look so pitiful. Although I'm not happy about what you said, old man, I won't do anything for this." To embarrass you is to look down on me, old man. What have I not seen in all these years? The old man has eaten more salt than your kid has eaten rice. You have to worry about all these things, so how can this old man still dominate the world for so many years? "
Zhou Wen quickly wiped away the non-existent sweat as if he was being pardoned, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I hope the commander will forgive me. It's my nephew who treats you like an old gentleman with a villain's heart."
After the commander taught the boy a lesson, he felt very happy and was amused by Zhou Wen's actions. He pointed at Zhou Wen again and said, "You little bastard, you still don't understand what the old man is thinking? You don't have to pretend to be scared to make the old man happy. The old man is thinking about you, and the boy is afraid of talking about it, but he is worried about the old man. Is it true? After all, your home is still in Shanxi. The old man is still the veritable provincial chairman of Shanxi... Oh - no, he is now called the director of the Taiyuan Appeasement Office. . If your kid can run away, can a monk run away from the temple?"
"That's right, even if my nephew is Sun Wukong, no matter how much he can jump, he still can't jump out of the palm of your old Tathagata Buddha."
After the commander-in-chief hammered Zhou Wen, he felt a little closer to this boy, and at the same time he also appreciated him a little more. Even though this kid is rich and powerful, he is a person who knows how to be respectful and advance and retreat. He is so sophisticated at such a young age. He is really a genius who is born with knowledge.
well! If his eldest son is still alive and gets closer to this boy, the future will not be unpredictable! The other sons will just be like that and live a peaceful life.
Zhou Wen's perception was so keen that he instantly noticed the flash of sadness in the Marshal's eyes, and looked at the Marshal with a searching gaze with concern.
The Marshal waved his hand and said: "It's none of your business, I just suddenly recalled some trivial things from the past. Alas! Sometimes it's easy for people to have random thoughts when they get old."
After that, he said seriously: "According to your guess and my judgment, we still have at least five years to prepare. This time is not short but not too long. According to the scene in your dream, the riverside There’s another city, isn’t it Nanjing?”
"I can't say for sure about this little nephew. After all, I haven't been to Nanjing. I'll know when I go there when I find a chance. But the possibility is very high. You always think that the strongest thing in this little Japan is not actually their army. , but their navy. Their navy is ranked among the best in the world. Our country's long coastline cannot be defended at all. Then Nanjing is not far from the sea, so it is difficult to defend.
This is also the reason why my nephew is trying so hard to make money. When the war breaks out, many of our country's weapons and artillery will be imported. If all the coastal ports are occupied by Japan and the imported goods cannot be transported, we will face The dilemma of being out of guns and ammunition. And in the event of an all-out war of resistance, because our national and military strength are inferior to others, we will definitely not be able to defeat them at the beginning. We can only slowly grind against them, taking advantage of our vast territory, and we will drag them to death, but it may take a long time. It’s hard to say how many years or even more than ten years.
My nephew just wants to take advantage of these few years of peace to make more money. He must have a certain amount of reserves of weapons, equipment and war supplies. As you know, my nephew's mercenary group is an elite group, equipped with the best and latest equipment in the world, but it is also the most expensive. It has cost my nephew more than 200,000 US dollars now, and the future losses will be It’s definitely big, so we have to plan ahead.
Another thing is just as my nephew said in the lecture in the conference room just now, in order for the brothers of the mercenary group to go into battle without any worries, they must first protect and settle the families of the brothers of the mercenary group, and also Once they are settled in place and their family can live a life without worries about food and clothing, the cost will not be small.
If he still has enough energy, his nephew will help those teams who are willing to fight and resolutely fight, and lend a helping hand when they are in trouble. After all, the War of Resistance is not a matter of any one family, but of the people of the whole country. It is a matter of life and death for the country and the nation. At this moment, everyone must put aside political opinions and all kinds of contradictions and unite to resist Japan. By gathering all the strength of China, if you have money, if you have strength, if you have people, you can defeat Japan and drive it out of China. "
Zhou Wen expressed his opinions directly in one breath and poured out everything he thought in his mind, just to have some influence on the commander-in-chief. In his memory, the commander-in-chief actually had illusions about Japan until the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance against Japan, and he had a sense of luck. As a result, when the Japanese army attacked Shanxi, they were poorly prepared, underestimated the difficulties, and took no precautions against the dangers of Japanese spies. In the end, they lost the city and lost territory. One hundred thousand elite Jin troops shed blood on the battlefield. Even a strong city like Taiyuan was only destroyed due to insufficient troops. After defending it for a few days, it was captured by the Japanese army.
The Taiyuan Arsenal was occupied and captured by the Japanese troops before they had time to retreat. So far, two of China's three major arsenals have been completely captured by the Japanese army. Those machines and equipment have been used to produce guns and ammunition for the Japanese army, achieving the Japanese army's strategic purpose of supporting war with war. The Chinese anti-Japanese military and civilians were not completely self-sufficient in weapons and equipment, and they were even more stretched in the difficult anti-Japanese years that followed.
