Chapter 263 We have power in China
When Wang Chonghui made the Chinese government's request to Sir Carl, Qin Wei was also telling the same request to Todman... This approach is quite shameless. But then again, which country in the world has never done such a thing?
"There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies in the world, but only eternal interests." This sentence was passed down from the 19th century British Prime Minister Parmeston, which is really too insightful, and it tells the changes in relations between countries. Otherwise, this sentence would not have become the foundation of the British's foreign policy.
Just like Churchill, the most famous British Prime Minister was extremely bold when doing such things.
On May 8, 1945, the day when fascist Germany announced its unconditional surrender, Churchill called Stalin, expressing his hope that after defeating the Nazi tyrants, he would "walk together on the sunny road of victory and peace." But three days after this, in the "widely friendly atmosphere" between the West and the Soviet Union, Churchill called US President Truman, saying that he was "very worried about the situation in Europe". He said that Russia "misunderstood the Yalta decision, their attitude towards Poland, they possessed overwhelming power in the Balkan countries, except Greece... and cooperated with the best tricks they performed in many other countries, especially their ability to maintain a huge military strength in the vast areas for a long time... They will pull down an iron curtain in the frontier areas."
A typical front is a person and a ghost on the back.
But who dares to say Churchill is wrong?
That's right.
Although Churchill's subsequent "Iron Curtain Speech" was called the beginning of the "Cold War", Churchill's actions were indeed for the interests of the West, including the interests of Britain. Because the aggressiveness shown by the Soviet Union at that time was actually not much better than Germany before. It was just that the Soviet Union was lucky to stand on the side of the winner. If it hadn't been used up too much power in the war with Germany, if it weren't for the United States that developed the atomic bomb shortly after defeating Germany. Stalin might have inherited Hitler's will and moved the iron curtain forward... In other words, Churchill's worries were not redundant at all.
But on the other hand, was Stalin wrong?
Stalin was right. Although he was showing friendship with the West, he also pulled down the iron curtain, and was afraid that Britain, the United States and other countries would suddenly turn against each other.
Therefore, compared with these great men, what Qin Wei and Wang Chonghui did was simply not up to the forefront, at least not yet.
However, what the two of them still attracted the attention of Britain and Germany. Especially Germany, after Todmann passed the news back, even Hitler was shocked. Even considering the relationship between China and Britain and France, the blitzkrieg, which was already ready, almost died. But then again, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired... After emergency consultations, the day after Todmann passed the news back, Guderian's armored group rushed into Poland with a mighty momentum.
************************************************
"This is his 'blitz'! This is his 'blitz'!
September 17, 1939. In the conference room of the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of China, Xue Yue shouted and threw away the newspaper in his hand, with a look of yearning and depression.
"Poland is also very strong among the British and French allies, right?" Chen Cheng looked straight at the newspaper spread on the conference table, and was stunned: "Two weeks, just two weeks later, the government ran away? Escape?"
"58 divisions. 2,800 tanks, 2,000 aircraft and 6,000 cannons... horrifying." He Yingqin shook his head in a miserable manner. He had never seen such a wealthy way of fighting in his life. Is this a war? It's just to use money to smash people! But then again, this method is really effective. Two weeks have passed, and two weeks have passed. From August 28 to September 13, Poland, which claims to be powerful, was blown away for a thousand miles, and the government was beaten away by the Germans. In other words, Poland is now in anarchy, which means that a beauty has fainted in front of the thugs, and isn't it that the other party can do whatever he wants?
"We are far behind Europeans." Chiang Kai-shek knocked on the table, "But we are not Polish, nor Japanese are not Germany."
"Chairman Jiang, please come here. Do you just want us to see how powerful the Germans are?" Bai Chongxi kept keeping his head. When he saw Chiang Kai-shek speak, he immediately asked in a bad tone... Is it true that the bald man wants to hit people? Guderian is powerful, but he is lucky. If he was born in China, you can try to fight a "blitz war"! There is still a chance to drag thousands of ox carts.
"Britain and France have declared war on Germany, and World War II is equivalent to opening..." Chiang Kai-shek said.
"Although Britain and France declared war on Germany, they kept ignoring Poland, clearly wanting to wait for the Germans to fight the Soviet Union... Since Britain and France did not participate in the war, it is still not considered a 'world' war, right?" Bai Chongxi retorted.
"Qin Wei, say it." Chiang Kai-shek glanced at this guy in anger and simply gave the talk to Qin Wei.
"That... I know that everyone doesn't believe in the 'World War', and they all think that Germany is going to fight the Soviet Union." Qin Wei smiled and looked at Bai Chongxi, "Sir Bai thinks so too?"
"English and France hid behind the Maginot line. Even if the Germans had tanks, armored vehicles, and cannons, they could not rush over." Bai Chongxi felt that he was provoked. "In this case, if they don't fight the Soviet Union, would they be gnawing stones?"
"The Maginot line looks very thick, but it has no flaws?" Qin Wei asked again.
"What are the flaws?" Xue Yue has been much better about Qin Wei's view recently, and he became even more interested when he heard this: "Magino is known as 'firm'. The entire fortification is made of reinforced concrete, extremely sturdy, and there are various fortifications inside, including hospitals. It is well-connected and is extremely conducive to defense. What flaws can there be?"
"Arden Highland." Qin Wei said lightly.
"Arden Heights?" Several senior military officials looked at each other. They really didn't know where it was.
"That is the junction between France and Belgium. The terrain is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack." Chiang Kai-shek suddenly interrupted.
"Oh? But since it's easy to defend but difficult to attack, what's the flaw?" Zhang Zhizhong couldn't help but ask.
"It's really not a flaw, but as long as someone is willing, it's a flaw." Qin Wei said: "According to our latest news, the Germans are already formulating the next military plan. The targets are these small countries in Western Europe, including Belgium, the Netherlands, etc."
"These are allies of Britain and France. Once the Germans attack there and make some difficulty, Britain and France will inevitably rescue..." Bai Chongxi felt that he had thought of something, "In this way, there will inevitably be omissions in the Ardennes Highlands located on the border of France and Bi. Germany will make a name for itself..."
"The British, French, and the Dutch may be surrounded by the Germans. At the same time, the French's Maginot line of defense has become the biggest joke ever." Qin Wei continued.
"The French would not make such a low-level mistake, right?" Chen Cheng was a little hesitant.
"In fact, we think the French are at an as high as 80% chance of making mistakes." Qin Wei smiled.
"Then what does this have to do with us? Could it be that we have to change our course and get along with the Germans?" Xue Yue asked.
"Although it's not like this, it's almost the same." Qin Wei glanced at everyone, "The result of my discussion with the Chairman was that China felt that it was necessary for China to accept some of the colonies of Britain and France in Asia! I asked everyone to come. It was because everyone was the best generals of the Republic of China, especially in the overall situation, so... I would like to ask everyone to make a military explanation together."
“…”
What is confusion?
What does it mean to stare at a small eye?
This is how the few people are performing now.
China... A country that has been bullied for almost a hundred years, the eldest weak country has now been captured by the little Japanese, which is so miserable that it cannot be more miserable. But in this situation, there are actually people who intend to take it to accept British and French colonies? Shouldn’t these two guys take the wrong medicine?
"It's just an idea, I think there is a possibility. So I called you over and discuss it. If you think it doesn't work, you can shake your head." Chiang Kai-shek was distracted by a group of people. He suddenly felt a little regretful. He regretted that he was so moved by Qin Wei... How is this possible? Is it? China's own affairs cannot be solved, and he actually wants to provoke Britain and France. Even if he plans to prepare for the future, he can't do it. Without strength, he doesn't have strength! Look, he's despised? These guys may still laugh at him in his heart. If he can't make things clear after a while, he will really lose his lord!
"That..." Chen Cheng quickly withdrew his gaze after being glared by Jiang, but asking him to agree with the boss was too contrary to his few conscience: "Principal, the students really couldn't imagine that we could have any power to get involved in the colonies of Britain and France in Asia... This is so incredible!"
"I think it's ridiculous!" Bai Chongxi didn't intend to sell his face at all. "He was beaten up and complained, and he just wanted to provoke a stronger opponent. Chairman, we can't be complacent after winning a few battles."
"But you can't underestimate yourself, right?" Qin Wei retorted.
"I think you are arrogant? I think you are arrogant." Bai Chongxi snorted coldly. At the battle of Changsha, he advocated giving up Changsha, but Xue Yue forced Changsha to save him and gave a considerable injury to the Japanese army. Qin Wei ridiculed him a lot for this matter. The relationship between the two was originally pretty good, and when they met again, he ignored the boy. But unexpectedly, Qin Wei said that he was petty and had no stomach. He was so angry that he couldn't have a sting... Because Qin Wei said that if he had an attack, he would be really petty.
"You have only fought a few wars? Wars are not a joke, and you can't just look at the front... Even if Britain and France are really defeated by the Germans as you said, but so what? During the war, Germany still entered France? But the result was that it was driven out? I don't deny that with our strength at this time, if we attack these colonies in Asia, there is a certain possibility of success. But what afterwards? Once the war is over, how can Britain and France give up?"
"That's the reason." He Yingqin also echoed: "What's more, Britain and France are currently our friendly countries. The UK has also provided us with tens of millions of loans... At this time, can't it be ungrateful?"
"In other words, everyone admits that we have this power, right?" (To be continued...)
