After thinking about it, Chu Xiong decided to make a big move and revealed some things to the three masters in advance. This would be very helpful for them to formulate future strategies.
“At present, the axis of evil has been formed, which is an unprecedented disaster for people all over the world, but for major countries, this is a reshuffle of major forces, with both opportunities and challenges.
This war has developed into a global war, and so far only two world powers, the Goshawk Country and the Black Bear Country, have not joined the war;
Since it is a world-wide reshuffle, the two major countries may be late, but they will definitely not be absent!
In Europa, Mustache's steel army swept across the entire Europa continent, leaving only the Sun Never Sets Empire, which relied on a strait to survive, and the Black Bear Kingdom on the eastern front.
The Empire on which the sun never sets has the most powerful navy, and Mustache can only look back and sigh;
Since it stops at the ocean, his millions-strong army can only turn around and head east. The decisive battle between Mustache and Big Brother shouldn't be too long! "
Desheng nodded and signaled Chu Xiong to continue. Chu Xiong continued to enlarge his moves:
"Mustache's huge victory in the West will inevitably stimulate the always ambitious Japs. China is now like a big mud pond. The Japs' millions of troops are stuck in it, like mice that got into a fan, going in and out. No, it’s really uncomfortable to retreat but not retreat;
China does not have the oil that the Japs urgently need, and only Nanyang has it in the entire East. From the perspective of global hegemony strategy, if the Japs want to realize their ambitions, the best choice is to go south.
Java has oil that the Japanese dream of, and Nanyang also has a large amount of strategic resources such as steel, rubber, food, and population. These territories have always been the back gardens of Europe and the United States;
Now that the Gallic Chicken has surrendered, the Sun Never Sets Empire cannot protect itself. The red-haired ghosts of Java have long been wiped out by Mustache, and the fertile land of Nanyang has become a de facto ownerless land, easily accessible.
The only obstacle is the Goshawk Kingdom. The Japanese are a maritime power. They have devoted all their efforts to raising the second largest navy in the world. This is definitely not just for the sake of looking at it!
It is useless to deal with China. Longpingyang is so big that it cannot accommodate two world-class navies. If the Japanese want to dominate the east, the Goshawk Kingdom is the hurdle they must cross;
Because the little devils like to gamble on the fate of the country, it is only a matter of time before they take action against the Goshawk Kingdom. They should strike first to gain the upper hand. Just like when they attacked the Beiyang Navy by surprise, the Japanese will not be too far away from dragging the Goshawk Kingdom into the water!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for China. At least we don't have to fight against the devil, the Japanese, alone. "
That's all Chu Xiong said. He believed that Desheng would definitely consider everything regarding matters related to national policy. This was not something he, a brigade commander, could say;
He is no longer a simple soldier. He often has to consider political factors. A soldier who does not understand politics and does not pay attention to politics has no future.
As expected, Desheng no longer continued to discuss this topic, because China still has a national government, and Yanzhou is just a local government. It is related to matters between countries. He can pay attention to it, but it is not something he can intervene now.
The New Fourth Army just stayed in the south of the Yangtze River to fight the Japanese, and all the troops were choked with tears. They couldn't sleep until they were eliminated, let alone meddling in the country's important weapons.
"Chu Xiong, first concentrate on completing the Zhongtiao Mountain strategy. Eat your food one bite at a time. Strength is the right to speak. Whether we can make our own voice in Yanzhou, Zhongtiao Mountain is very critical.
The road of revolution is long and tortuous, but the future is bright. As long as we are down-to-earth, step by step, and work tirelessly, the world will also have the voice of China and the Eighth Route Army! "
A few days later, Yanzhou held Chu Xiong accountable for leaving the base area without permission and privately leading his troops to fight thousands of miles away. This was typical individual heroism. In the worst case, it was disorganized and must be strictly rectified.
Not only was Chu Xiong suspended from duty for self-reflection, but he was also asked to study at the Anti-Japanese University for three months. The new commander of the Independent Brigade was still on his way to Liuzhen;
After the new brigade commander takes office, he will have to reorganize the entire brigade, and several main regiment commanders will have to participate in the study.
One day after Chu Xiong was dismissed, it was reported that several main regiment leaders of the Independent Brigade were dissatisfied with Yanzhou's orders and expressed grievances for Chu Xiong. They were severely criticized by Yanzhou and pointed out that they had made departmental errors.
Then Zhang Yu, Lin Xiaofeng, Li Qing and other main regiment leaders were all suspended from their posts and concentrated on study. The troops were temporarily handed over to others.
Chen Hao, leader of the 882nd Regiment, was promoted to deputy brigade commander and temporarily took charge of the work of the entire brigade until the new brigade commander was in place.
Subsequently, the entire brigade's personnel underwent major adjustments. The headquarters transferred a large number of backbones from the 129th Division, 81st Division, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and 120th Division to the independent brigade, and the replacements were all cadres from the Chuxiong line.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a major purge. Rumors spread all over the place, and everyone in the Independence Brigade and the base area was in danger.
Naturally, the storm that occurred in the Independence Brigade could not escape the eyes of the Japanese and the government. Like a group of flies that smelled blood, they buzzed around and started to add fuel to the fire behind the scenes, with the goal of bringing down the powerful Independence Brigade.
Under the instigation of a thoughtful person, Yan Haoyu, commander of the third regiment, suddenly led all the officers and soldiers of the regiment to defect to the 78th Division of the Central Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area;
Yan Haoyu, an absolute confidant of Chu Xiong, complained about Chu Xiong's injustice and was punished. He was instigated by the government's Tsing Yi Society intelligence officers to rebel. On the pretext of training, he pulled the troops to the Zhongtiao Mountains and took refuge with Zhao Sihu of the 78th Division.
In the official residence of Zhongcai in the middle of Shu, Brother Yunong walked in excitedly and reported to Zhongcai:
"Zhongcai, Yan Haoyu, the commander of Chu Xiong's third regiment, was dissatisfied with Yanzhou's purge of Chu Xiong and Chu Xiong's clique, and with the help of our intelligence personnel, he has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side;
He led his headquarters and the troops who were committed to Chuxiong, a total of more than 5,000 people, to join the 78th Division of the Central Army nearby! "
When Zhong Cai heard this, he was so excited that his dentures almost fell off. He did not expect that the method of disintegration and disintegration would achieve practical results so quickly, instigating the rebellion of a main group of the Eighth Route Army, which was a big slap in Yanzhou's face.
"Yunong, your Qingyi Society has made great contributions this time. The meritorious personnel should be heavily rewarded. We should continue to create divisions in the Independent Brigade and Liuzhen, spread rumors about the donkey killing in Yanzhou, shake the military morale of the Independent Brigade, and those regiments under his Commander, battalion commander, company commander, everyone who can pull over.
Yan Haoyu's troops were directly reorganized into the 3rd Brigade of the 78th Division, and Yan Haoyu was promoted to major general and brigade commander, with a reward of 50,000 legal currency;
Everyone else will be promoted to one level, and 50,000 legal currency will be allocated to reward all soldiers. Yan Haoyu is responsible for the specific distribution plan.
In addition, the 78th Division was upgraded to the 78th Army, and Zhao Sihu was promoted to Lieutenant General, with jurisdiction over the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Brigades, with a total strength of 15,000 troops. "
Playing this is his strength. In the past, it had obvious effects on warlords, large and small. This time, he did not expect that it would also achieve miraculous effects on the Eighth Route Army.
This time it was the Eighth Route Army who took the initiative to surrender, so no wonder he undermined unity.
Thinking of his success, he asked Wen Bai to notify General He, General Chen and others to come over to discuss matters. He was no longer in the mood to sleep. His excited heart, trembling hands, and dentures all shook off.
Half an hour later, General Chen and others arrived one after another. He first informed everyone about Yan Haoyu, and then said to General He:
"Your Majesty, your military command department will follow up on the matter of upgrading the 78th Division to the 78th Army's Type B Corps. In particular, the promotion of Yan Haoyu to Major General Commander of the Third Brigade must be reported as soon as possible.
The government wants to buy horse bones, and if Yanzhou despises the troops, as long as they are willing to surrender, all officers at all levels will be promoted to one rank. "
