"Why not go south?
The situation is very clear now.
The British and American devils are not willing to give up their interests in East Asia.
They are afraid of the rise of the empire.
They are worried that after the empire controls the vast area of East Asia and Southeast Asia, it will control the resources of this vast area. , enough to be comparable to the Soviet Union, Germany, the United States and other top powers.
Britain and the United States did not permanently close the Burma Railway and the Burma Highway because of the threat of the empire.
This is the latest intelligence obtained by the imperial agents in China at the cost of their lives. ” At this time, Qiao Junzhaomu, who was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general, threw the document in his hand on the table and asked the people in the staff headquarters to circulate it.
"Ever since the Empire joined the Axis Powers, Britain was very angry and decided to restore the smooth flow of the Burma Road in a month and a half.
The warriors of the Empire sacrificed more than ten lives and two spy stations in the rear of China.
At a price, they obtained accurate information about the Northwest China Air Force.
From the time the Yunnan-Burma Highway was opened to traffic, they used this road to not only obtain two sets of 200,000-ton steel smelting equipment, but also In addition, most of the training aircraft of the Northwest China Air Force, as well as no less than 800 Westwind dive bomber engines and some parts and components, are imported from the northwest mainland through this road.
A month before the Burma Highway, there was even a large amount of mechanical industrial equipment shipped from the United States, most of which was related to engine and aircraft manufacturing.”
Seeing the people from the General Staff Headquarters lowering their heads to read this confidential document, Qiao Junzhaomu continued to talk.
"Now, under the auspices of Northwest China and the Central China Army, the Yunnan-Burma Railway with a larger cargo transportation volume will be opened to traffic soon.
Its cargo transportation capacity is more than ten times that of the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
We here can imagine what northwest China would be like if Obtaining more aerospace engines, even if the Northwest is unwilling to let American factories produce the power engines for the Flying Dragon fighter due to technical confidentiality, it can save Northwest a lot of aircraft manufacturing capacity on the bombers alone. , allowing it to fully produce Feilong fighters.
As for the machinery imported from the Burma Road to the Northwest, the Northwest has increased its production capacity by at least 1,300 aircraft last year.
The Northwest already has a relatively complete aviation industry chain.
The aircraft are very advanced.
You can imagine how great a threat the Northwest Army will pose to the empire once the Burma Road is opened and the Northwest receives a large amount of technical injection from overseas Chinese technicians in the United States."
"Even if it is not from the perspective of world domination, just from the perspective of conquering China, ending the war against China as soon as possible and cutting off the foreign aid of the China Army, especially the Northwest China Army, are crucial.
What's more, due to the fierceness of the war against China Expansion, Imperial Oil Reserves From last year to this year, the consumption rate was almost the same as the purchase rate.
But this time the Empire signed the Three-Nation Pact with Germany and Italy, and the United States has begun to ban the sale of some supplies to the Empire.
Who knows whether oil is also in the United States. banned."
"The United Kingdom and the United States have always been on the same front.
Even if the United States does not ban the sale of oil, according to the current situation, just maintaining the input of materials and machinery to the northwest is enough to permanently plunge the empire into the quagmire of this war.
War.
So far, the empire has lost nearly half a million elite soldiers on the battlefield in China, and the number of soldiers killed has maintained a rapid growth of ten to twenty percent every year."
"Southeast Asia is a delicious piece of cake.
France has been defeated by Germany, and all British troops have retreated to the mainland.
The entire Western European continent has become the domain of the German army.
The British and French colonies in Southeast Asia are now ownerless, and only Controlled the Southeast Asian Pangong Only with large manpower, material resources, and the oil resources that the empire urgently needs can the empire remain invincible for a long time.
Otherwise, given the current scale of China's northwest army's fight, without cutting off their supply channels, it will only be against China's The war will not end if we fight for another four or five years.”
"Rather than let Britain and the United States use China to drag down the empire, why not take a chance and take advantage of the fact that the empire still has millions of war-ready soldiers who have not yet been fully mobilized, and that there are still enough trump cards in hand to fight a war like this?
The German blitzkrieg swept across Southeast Asia.
We won the Sino-Japanese War.
We also won the Russo-Japanese War, and we will win this time too.
This war will push the empire to an unprecedented peak.
Create a world-class Japanese Empire" Qiao Junzhaomu made an impassioned speech in front of the senior generals of the General Staff Headquarters.
Naturally, the information in his hand was not really stolen by his secret service, but was deliberately leaked to him by Northwest.
In the past few years, with the help of Northwest's promoters, Qiao Junzhaomu has been promoted from a mid-level officer during the September 18th Incident to the deputy chief of the General Staff Headquarters and entered the core decision-making level of the Japanese army.
Although he is not the top dignitary, he has enough access to a large number of military secrets.
However, what Qiao Junzhaomu has never understood is that in the past few years, Jiang Li has been providing him with some valuable information to help him rise to power.
Until now, no request had been made, which made Qiao Junzhaomu wonder if Jiang Li's brain had been kicked by a donkey.
However, judging from the fact that Jiang Li has been stationed in the Central Plains Theater for more than two years and the Central Plains Theater remains unchanged, this possibility obviously does not exist.

Jiang Li pushed him to such a height, obviously to collect more valuable intelligence.
In the past, his status was too low to be valued by Jiang Li at all.
Although he didn't have much contact with Jiang Li, Qiao Junzhaomu had a hunch that once Jiang Li used his chess piece, the end of the war might not be too far away.
He was too deeply entangled with Northwest, and there was no possibility of getting rid of Northwest.
The memories of darkness and hatred in his childhood made Qiao Junzhaomu despise those fanatical bushido spirits.
Whether he was in Japan or later rebelled and went to the Republic of China, it didn't matter to him.
Maybe it would be good to leave this place where he had no sense of belonging.
In fact, Jiang Li, who still understood the general process of history, focused most on keeping the Japanese army on its established track or attacking Southeast Asia in advance.
Even with the advantage of being a time traveler, Jiang Li was still a little worried that the Japanese army would not act according to common sense.
After all, the battlefields of the Republic of China had completely changed.
In 1940, France was defeated, and Chairman Chiang retreated to southern Hunan, Guizhou and Guangxi.
As a fortress in the Central Plains, Zhengzhou has always been in the hands of the Northwest Army, and the Japanese army has not yet opened up the Pinghan Road.
Suiyuan only accounts for a small half.
During the entire eight years of the War of Resistance, the Japanese army lost only more than 400,000 people on the Chinese battlefield, and the number of soldiers killed now has exceeded the eight years in history.
Even though the general trend of history is still the same, Jiang Li still feels a little uneasy.
In Jiang Li's eyes, even if Qiao Junzhaomu did nothing but added a few more hands to push the Japanese army southward, its significance would be far greater than annihilating one or two Japanese divisions on the battlefield. 123 Chongqing Pier was full of shouts and heavy breathing.
Chongqing is mountainous, close to the water, and surrounded by undulating terrain.
During the war with the Japanese army, the transportation of materials from various places brought the transportation along the river into a brief period of prosperity.
The Japanese army was busy wiping out the Chiang Kai-shek Central Army in the Qiangui and Guangxi areas of southern Hunan, and fighting against the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Plains Field Army.
For a while, they could not take care of Chongqing, the wartime capital of the Republic of China.
The geographical environment of Chongying was originally the ideal wartime capital in Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's mind.
However, Jiang Li's trusted generals have been taking root in northern Sichuan for several years.
They recruit and train a large number of new troops in central Sichuan every year.
It is conservatively estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of new northwest troops training in northern Sichuan.
Among them were veterans of at least several divisions.
Therefore, no matter how good Chongqing is, there is already a tiger lying next to it.
It is naturally impossible for Chairman Chiang to put his central agencies in the tiger's mouth.
Chongqing is mountainous and the terrain is undulating.
There are a large number of stone steps all over the wharves along the river.
A large number of porters carry heavy burdens and wear straw sandals.
They step on the stone steps with heavy steps.
The waist poles are so heavy that they look like It will break at any time.
"Chaotianmen is a symbol of Chongqing's spiritual culture.
The first modern terminal in the future will be built here."
Xugong, wearing a safety helmet, walked down the stone steps.
Next to him, Pan Qingzhou was accompanied by several other officers.
It was a bit eye-catching among the crowds of porters and laborers, but most people were used to this scene.
Now is the war era, and there are many troops coming in and out of Chongqing Wharf.
These men looked like military officers, but their rank badges had been removed and they were not very conspicuous.
"The Japanese army has now captured Wuhan.
They can go straight up the river to attack Chongqing.
We are now overhauling the dock here.
When the Japanese army comes, not only will they capture Chongqing, but I am afraid there will be chaos again."
Pan Qingzhou looked at the bustling Chaotian.
Gate Pier Road.

"The main force of the Japanese army gathered in the Central Plains, and the Northwest Army has been carrying it until now.
The scale of the attack is getting bigger and bigger.
The Japanese army now has nothing to do with the Northwest Army.
They went straight up the river to attack Chongqing.
The supply line is so long, I am really afraid that they will not come."
Jiang Wenhao next to him smiled and said, even though Jiang Li had thrown him, a general, in northern Sichuan for a few years out of the need to stay in northern Sichuan, Jiang Wenhao was still a little bit dissatisfied in private.
However, complaints are complaints.
Jiang Wenhao knows the importance of Sichuan to the northwest.
I was so busy in northern Sichuan that my bones fell apart, and faced with those new recruits, Jiang Wenhao now missed the time when he fought in Songhu.
Of course, his headquarters is now filled with various information about the terrain and climate of Southeast Asia.
Jiang Wenhao is also very clear about Jiang Li's intentions in the future.
In the future, most of his areas of use will be in the south.
In the next year or two, he may still have to sit on the bench.
However, if the Japanese army really comes to attack Chongqing, he will have to relax his muscles and bones.
The Sichuan North Army Group has been idle for too long.
When the Japanese army came, he took the opportunity to let the Northwest Army spread out in central Sichuan.
"That's true."
Pan Qingzhou shrugged and did not object to Jiang Wenhao's words.
Even his father, Pan Wenhua, the new King of Sichuan, had to be polite when facing Jiang Wenhao, let alone his backwardness.
Although there is not much age difference between the two, there is a huge gap in status.
"The transportation conditions here at the dock are too poor.
Before the shipbuilding equipment comes, the roads at the dock must first be renovated.
During the construction period, a lot of manpower will be needed.
I hope Mayor Hu will provide more assistance."
Two."
Mr.
Chen looked at the middle-aged man next to him wearing a black robe and thick-rimmed glasses.
"Mr.
Chen, as well as Professor Xu, rest assured that Chongqing will provide sufficient help in terms of manpower coordination.
Rebuilding the Chaotianmen Pier is also a major event that will benefit the people of Chongqing without any harm."
After Mayor Hu glanced at Pan Qingzhou, he nodded and said.
As the new mayor of Chongqing appointed by Pan Wenhua, he knew what his responsibilities were, but he didn't expect that Pan Wenhua was still affiliated with the Central Army of the Chiang Kai-shek faction, but he was secretly connected with the Northwest Army.
But it's no wonder.
After all, the Central Army of Chiang Kai-shek feels like the sun is setting over the mountains now, while the reputation of the Northwest Army is getting louder and louder during the war.
The Chiang Kai-shek faction has retreated to a corner of the southwest.
Although it also has a certain influence in the southeast, it pales in comparison to the Northwest Army, which is responsible for the entire northern theater.
Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen's subordinates could still look like a person when they left Sichuan.
However, the troops Liu Xiang brought out of Sichuan were still restricted by others in the Central Army of Chiang Kai-shek.
In addition, the Northwest's influence on Sichuan has become more and more profound.
Comparing the two, it is reasonable that after Liu Xiang died, Pan Wenhua, who took over most of Liu Xiang's power, had already made plans.
Good birds break down trees to roost.
In the turbulent era of the Republic of China, hedging your bets was a very common self-protection technique.
"XCMG, as many people as you want to repair the docks, the shipyard equipment will be delivered in the shortest time.
The commander has only one request, to build his own ships and gunboats with qualified quality as quickly as possible.
This The role of the dock is not only to transport some refugees.

After the Northwest Army regained Wuhan and fought across the river, when the railway bridge was blown up by the Japanese army, these ships would be used to transport troops," Jiang Wenhao reminded Xugong.
"I know this."
Xugong nodded.
He had heard that Jiang Wenhao was aloof.
In fact, in addition to shipbuilding, Northwest also began to test the manufacturing of U-shaped submarines.
As early as after the September 18th Incident, Northwest and Northwest In Germany's military cooperation, using some exchange conditions, the northwest has already obtained With the manufacturing technology of U-type submarines, even if the U-type submarines currently manufactured cannot go to sea due to the Japanese blockade, the Yangtze River channel will be opened sooner or later.
By then, the submarines from the northwest will go straight down the river and enter the estuary.
Kuo Pingyu Leap will serve as another trump card to defeat Japan in the future.
Looking at the primitive and backward dock in front of him, XCMG felt inexplicably excited.
This place would be a new starting point for the navy of the Republic of China.
Aircrafts and cannons were all manufactured by the Republic of China, but only Northwest China produced them to a level that could rival the great powers.
Even if submarines cannot be compared with German original products, they have epoch-making significance for the Republic of China
