"Your Excellency, Chu Xiong has been making small moves lately. His Taihang Investment Company is frantically purchasing industrial machines for Hedong and Guangguang Industrial Parks. Some of them are weapons and ammunition production lines. Do you want to control them?"
George started talking about business. Although he had a good personal relationship with Chu Xiong and had received a lot of kickbacks from Chu Xiong and the arms company, he still had to add trouble when it was time to cause trouble for Chu Xiong. He was General Yingjiang and would always take advantage of Yingjiang’s interests. Put it first.
Franklin shook his hand and said:
"The Eighth Route Army has 900,000 or even one million troops. It's just a drop in the bucket to protect so many troops with our little assistance. It's better for them to pay for it themselves than to ask us directly for it. This will at least bring trouble to those vampires in Congress. Benefit!
Chu Xiong is also a very disciplined person. He supported the local people in Indochina to form an anti-war alliance and seek independence after the war. This is nothing;
This is the general trend. The backward traditional colonial era should have ended long ago. As long as John Bull clings to the old almanac, he will be eliminated by the times sooner or later!
The future is a colonial era of capital and finance. As long as the Eagle Yuan replaces the British Pound as the world currency, economically a currency system centered on the Eagle Yuan is built after the war, and militarily masters the ocean and cutting-edge technology, the Chinese people will be the world’s currency for at least a hundred years. I can’t catch up with Eagle Sauce!
By then, you, me, Chu Xiong and others will have already been hung on the wall, so why do you still worry about this? "
Although George's vision is not as high as Franklin's, he firmly believes in Franklin's words. Since he can't threaten Yingjiang for a hundred years, he can take the kickbacks without any burden. After all, he still has life left in the sky. 50 years.
"Your Excellency, you just said that you would participate in Chuxiong's plan to seek the Indochina Peninsula. In what form will we participate? To what extent? Do we need to compete for dominance?"
Franklin thought for a moment and replied:
"For countries close to China, let China take the lead. Others can be fought for. The focus is Luzon. China's purpose is to build a land security circle. They are mainland countries and they attach great importance to the land family, especially its neighbors. country;
The focus of Yingjiang is Europa and the ocean. There are no irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides. China and black bears are the natural opponents on the mainland.
If Hans Cat falls, the black bear will have no enemies in Europa. This is not in the interest of Eagle Sauce. China may be a very good choice;
Therefore, it is more in the interests of Eagle Sauce that they have some industrial base to prevent them from being too dependent on black bears.
Huaxia is separated from Yingjiang by the vast ocean, and they are separated from Black Bear by an invisible continental dividing line. They also have historical land disputes;
Even if their ideologies are the same, national interests always come first. Didn't Chuxiong express his willingness to take back the land to Black Bear? "
Under Franklin's detailed analysis, George had fully understood Franklin's strategic intentions;
Now that the war is still in a stalemate, Franklin is already laying out the global strategy for the decades after the war. It is a blessing to have such a leader.
"Your Excellency, will that tough guy Black Bear surrender to Huaxia and Chuxiong who he despises?
You must know that they have an almost perverted obsession with the land. It is difficult to spit out what they have eaten. "
George asked another question that he needed to treat with caution, because it was related to the dispute between the two allies, and Yingjiang did not want to see their relationship fall out.
"George, this depends on how long they can hold out in the decisive battle of Tsaritsyn. Only the Black Bear can bear the consumption of one army per day. John Bull would have surrendered long ago. Let's wait and see!
Remember, black bears cannot fall, and they must be urged to reach an agreement when necessary. If China is going to bleed, it must always give people some benefits;
For millions of Eighth Route Army troops, it is more in their interests to go south than to go north..."
On the main battlefield of Siam, the expeditionary force finally gained absolute air supremacy after paying a huge price. After losing nearly a thousand fighter planes in total, Tiaobaji finally stopped sending planes to the bottomless pit of Siam, and instead asked Yamashita to serve Win the war without air superiority;
What China can do, Foot Pot Chicken can do too!
In Phitsanulok, the Second Tank Division is ready to engage in a tank battle with the Chinese armored forces on the central plains. They are confident that they will teach the Chinese a profound lesson.
"Mr. Zhongze, don't be too anxious. Armored forces are not something that poor and backward Chinese people can play well. This requires a complete set of armored combat theories to support them."
Tsumugi Okada, commander of the 2nd Tank Division, confidently comforted Mitsuo Nakazawa, commander of the 1st Tank Division.
Mitsuo Nakazawa also felt that what Okada said was reasonable, nodded and said:
"What Okada-kun said is absolutely true. You can't call yourself an armored division just by buying a few tanks——"
At this moment, the air defense siren sounded, and a senior staff officer walked in in a panic and reported to Lieutenant General Okada:
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we have spotted a fleet of aircraft in the northwest, no less than a hundred of them, heading straight for the headquarters."
Both Okada and Nakazawa realized the seriousness of the matter. Regardless of their own safety, they rushed out of the headquarters and raised their binoculars to observe. Sure enough, they found a large number of black spots in the northwest. Experienced people knew they were aircraft groups at a glance.
"Bagayalu, order the air defense troops to prepare for battle!"
As soon as Okada finished speaking, he seemed to feel the earth shaking faintly. Coming from Kanto, his first thought was an earthquake.
However, Mitsuo Nakazawa thought of what it was and shouted:
"The Chinese equipment cluster! They are taking action!"
As if to confirm his judgment, also in the northwest, a long black line appeared on the horizon, and Zhongze's face turned pale - an armored group charging into the open space. Who said that the Chinese can't play with tanks?
"Buzz buzz..."
The dark aircraft group was the first to arrive. Under the guidance of the special operations troops lurking nearby, they had already grasped the hidden location of the Japanese tank group. How could hundreds of tanks hide from the Snow Leopard Commandos?
As if it had eyes, the Chinese plane slowly descended towards the area where the Japanese armored troops were hiding. Lieutenant General Okada was so frightened that his heart was in his throat, and he kept praying to Amaterasu for protection.
It's a pity that Amaterasu, this foreign crooked god, didn't work at all. The Chinese started dropping bombs as soon as they flew over the armored troops. Okada closed his eyes in despair and couldn't bear to watch!
The sound of continuous explosions reached Okada's ears, and it seemed that he could still faintly hear screams. The bombing of the tank troops by the planes was simply a dimensionality reduction blow. The tanks that the Japanese had placed high hopes on were blown into pieces. scrap iron;
The 600-pound heavy aerial bomb has an effective killing radius of up to 50 to 60 meters. The huge shock wave generated by the explosion lifted the Japanese thin-skinned and large-filled tank directly into the sky.
The Japanese anti-aircraft guns sprayed anti-aircraft artillery into the sky in vain, but unfortunately it had little effect. The Mustang was fast and flew high, and ordinary anti-aircraft fire could not reach it.
A few kilometers away, more than 300 tanks and armored vehicles from two Chinese armored divisions were already rushing at a speed that was almost unaffordable on the vast plain!
"Comrades, charge!"
Sun Fumin leaned his entire body out from the top of the passenger compartment and shouted excitedly.
