Chapter 357 Eisenhower
Because of Qin Wei's nonsense, the place name Myanmar slightly stirred up a little in the historical process of World War II. Any viewpoints published by Qin Wei in Yangon about the European war process would often be seen in European newspapers the next day. This was very fast at that time, and it also reflected people's view of the European war situation.
However, Qin Wei's views always face certain "mainstream" views, as if they were specifically for "disgusting" some people.
Guderian crossed the Maginot line and surrounded nearly 400,000 British and French coalition forces in Dunkirk. French Prime Minister Paul Reno announced that he would insist on resisting the Germans and eventually fight to the end. However, Qin Wei then expressed his views in Yangon, believing that although Morris Gustav Ganmolin, who was then commander-in-chief of the French army, seemed a little wise, he did not understand "modern war" at all. His tactical ideas were actually conservative and old-fashioned, and he was simply fighting World War II in the form of World War I... As a result, a few days after this view was published, Paul Reno ordered the removal of Ganmolin and instead Maxim Weigang as the new commander-in-chief of the French army.
After Maxim Weigang took over, it was just a few days after Dunkirk's retreat. Although the British and French governments completed this "great defeat feat" with the initiative of the people on both sides, hundreds of thousands of coalition forces that had just retreated to Britain were impossible to enter the battle again. Moreover, when they retreated, they mainly transported away soldiers, and almost all the heavy weapons of the coalition forces were abandoned, and they could not replenish them in a short time. Therefore, facing the fierce German regiment, Weigang could only rely on the remaining ones.
The rest of his troops established the so-called "Weigang Line of Defense" along the Somme River to the Aene River. As a result, Qin Wei published an article again, believing that the Weigang Line of Defense had no effect at all. Because the elite French troops had suffered a heavy blow at this time, the remaining 71 divisions were very poorly equipped. Without air force support, it was almost impossible to withstand the attack of more than 100 German divisions like hungry tigers. The most important thing is that the French team "had actually been defeated from body to heart." Germany also had an ally who was good at taking advantage of the situation.
As a result, as if to prove Qin Wei's words, on June 3, the German Air Force launched intensive assaults to France's airports and rear, destroying about 900 French aircraft and seizing air supremacy. At dawn on June 5, the German army launched a large-scale attack on the "Weigang Line of Defense" with 143 divisions. In just a few days, the Weigang Line of Defense was broken through, and the German army swept the coastal areas, and the forwards went even more to Paris. At this time, Italy, which had always claimed to be a "non-believer country", took advantage of the situation. On June 10, 32 divisions were dispatched to cross the Alps and invaded France, giving France a knife behind the scenes. However, in the face of the sinister situation, the French government did not call for and organize the people to resist. On June 11, the French government moved to Tours and declared Paris a "unprevented city". Two days later, on June 13, the Renault government officially requested a ceasefire to Germany.
On June 14, a whole month after Qin Wei made a bet with Mountbatten, the German army occupied Paris without bloodshed, and the "博" flag of fascist Germany was hung on the Eiffel Tower. On the same day, the Maginot line was broken by the German army, and the Renault government moved from Tours to Bordeaux. On June 17, the German army advanced to the Rhine River on the German-France border and captured Strasbourg. Nearly 500,000 French troops were surrounded. Except for a small part that fled to Switzerland, all were annihilated.
...
"Look, look at it... Now I've blown that kid into heaven. What has he become? China's number one military strategist?"
Qin Wei's "wonderful performance" in Myanmar caused a great sensation. Even Europeans knew that there was such an amazing young general in the East, so the Chinese themselves were naturally even more excited... Newspapers everywhere were reporting on Qin Wei's deeds. This was even more so in Chongqing's newspapers. This also made many people very dissatisfied, especially Bai Chongxi, the always arrogant "Little Zhuge". He didn't know what Qin Wei was? Military strategist? He could not beat the platoon of that kid.
"What is China's No. 1 military strategist?" He Yingqin handed him the newspaper in his hand. "Someone has already accused me of being a corpse and even losing power and humiliating the country. I just want to directly ask me to abdicate and give way to Chief Qin."
"Okay, Qin Wei just said a few casual words. What's the disgusting foreign devils? Why are you in a hurry?" Zhang Zhizhong sat opposite He Yingqin and coughed twice, saying.
"That can't be said to be disgusting foreigners. At least I can't see that the French will lose so quickly... n, Paris doesn't want it if it's not even beaten. If this is placed in China, the French government will be called a traitor!" Several people were on the head, and Feng Yuxiang, who was tall and strong, said with a big belly.
"Brother Huanzhang, Europe is different from our Asia, France is different from China." He Yingqin glanced at Feng Yuxiang and cursed in his heart. This guy was just talking sarcastic words, scolding him and Chiang Kai-shek for losing power and humiliating the country, losing Beijing and Nanjing, which was not much better than traitors. But is that what they were willing to lose? You Feng Yuxiang is so powerful, why can't even beat us? Now you feel that it doesn't matter to yourself, and you can scold me if you want to. If you have the ability, you go fight with the Japanese?
"The French are about to surrender, and the British are in trouble now." Sitting under Bai Chongxi, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Chen Shaokuan, the one played by Jet Li in the later generations of "The Founding of the Country". Seeing that He Yingqin and Feng Yuxiang were quarreling, they hurriedly changed the topic.
"You said, what should we do if France really surrenders?" Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang face to face, and suddenly laughed dryly, "The Fifth Army of Guangxi has been staring at the land north of the Red River in Vietnam..."
"Brother Baichuan thinks we can swallow that land?" asked Li Zongren, who was leaning against Bai Chongxi.
"Hahaha, it's best to swallow it. When Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, Vietnam was our territory, but it was just that it couldn't be occupied later." Yan Xishan said with a smile.
"Even if France really surrenders, Vietnam is not something we can do, right?" Cheng Qian asked.
"Why can't you get involved?" Bai Chongxi snorted coldly, "If France surrenders, Vietnam is equivalent to Germany's territory. Now the Germans are hooking up with Japan again... That is our most important external transportation line. If we don't take it down quickly, can we wait until the French and the Japanese cooperate and cut off the road before talking?"
"That's not the case," Cheng Qian shook his head, "We are too busy to take care of ourselves now and provoke the French... Even if they can't do it, as long as they surrender, their overall strength will still be there. If you are angry, what should we do if we really send troops to Vietnam?"
"I think beautifully. Can the Germans allow them to send troops if they say they want to send troops?" Feng Yuxiang snorted coldly.
"That's right." Li Zongren also smiled, "This is like the Japanese to Wang Zhaoming. If Wang Zhaoming wants to mobilize several armies under the Japanese's nose, it's okay, but if he dares to send troops to Beijing, Inner Mongolia, or Shanxi, the Japanese will definitely not agree."
"What's the point of saying this?" Li Jishen, who had been watching coldly, glanced at everyone, "The Japanese have not been beaten away yet."
"The few provinces we rely on now on the War of Resistance. Except for Sichuan, which is a little richer, the rest are all barren land. If you don't find a few more pieces of time, how can you live in the future?" He Yingqin also gave Li Jishen a blank look. All of them are members of the Central Military Commission of the National Government, and except for him and Zhang Zhizhong, the rest can be said to have been against Chiang Kai-shek. Among these people, Li Jishen and Chiang Kai-shek had the most old grudges. Before the outbreak of the War of Resistance, Li Jishen was still openly opposing Chiang Kai-shek, and he was also twice by Chiang Kai-shek because of this.
"Everyone expelled from the Party." Although everyone has been barely together for the sake of the War of Resistance, Li Jishen still has no nose to Chiang Kai-shek and those of the Chiang school. He is still not a nose, and his eyes are not an eye. As long as he finds an opportunity, he will provoke it. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek even became the deputy chief of staff of the National Revolutionary Army, but Li Jishen had nothing but the title of a member of the Military Commission. Li Jishen would rather hand over some local armed forces from the "Chinese National Revolutionary Alliance" he had previously organized to the New Fourth Army than to Chiang Kai-shek, so that the two sides became more and more resentful.
"The provinces under the government are not rich now, but they can always develop. As long as all the corrupt officials are dealt with, I think they can save at least half of the administrative funds and the people can live a richer life. But some people just want to provoke another enemy... Although the French are far away, don't forget that we are not Germans either." Li Jishen snorted coldly.
"Brother Ren Chao is right, but what we face cannot be considered as the whole of France or Vietnam..."
"Chief is here!"
Bai Chongxi was quite slandering towards northern Vietnam. When Qin Wei proposed to prepare for this, he was one of the supporters. At that time, Britain and France had not yet officially started a war with Germany, so he dared to think about it. Now France is defeated, and he is even more itchy... In his opinion, if you really want to seize northern Vietnam, you will not be able to use a single elite Fifth Army of Du Yuming, and a division is more than enough. The difficulty now is that the friendship between the Chinese government and the German government is quite good, and the Germans have not yet officially followed Japan.
Before the alliance, they did not care about the feelings of the Germans and went to attack France, which had just surrendered to them. As for the Frenchman who was one of the direct parties... Bai Chongxi really looked down on them a little. The legendary European No. 1 land power in the country performed worse than China in this war. How bad is the country? But when he was about to refute Li Jishen, Chiang Kai-shek arrived. In desperation, he had to stop and stand up slowly with everyone.
"I'll introduce someone to you."
Lao Jiang was not alone. He followed Dai Li with a tight face, and another one was a foreigner. Wujiro was aged and had a gentle expression, but his beautiful outfit made him feel a little tough as a soldier.
"This is the leader of the newly arrived US Military Observation Corps, Colonel Dwight Eisenhower!" (To be continued.
