Age of Rebirth

The party, government and military officials who gathered at Hitler's official residence seemed very disapproving after hearing the comments made by the head of state, especially the generals of the military, who looked contemptuous. This is obviously an act of talking loudly and pulling tiger skins as a banner, which is very dismissive.

No matter how extravagant the Americans say, the seemingly incarnation of justice cannot change the fact that millions of elite German troops are fighting in the United States. China's old friend Vice Chairman Tang, the relationship with the United States is not as deep and nasty as the Americans say!

Hitler took into account the reactions of the senior officials, and his evaluation of Roosevelt was obviously more than enough, and he also meant to warn his subordinates, so he went on to say: "You may feel that this American practice , is useless and can’t change anything, so I don’t take this statement from the Americans very seriously!”

"What I want to say is, then you are very wrong!" Hitler raised his voice, and his tone became severe, "This statement by the Americans is Roosevelt's political wisdom and strategy. Their confidence and morale convinced the United States that the squadron’s offensive actions were solely for the purpose of cooperating with the Americans’ war on the mainland, and they could bluff externally to attract more countries to side with the Americans!”

"Therefore, Roosevelt is smart. We Germany can use this opportunity to let the Japanese gain nothing in the war against the United States. Similarly, Roosevelt can also use this opportunity to strive for the greatest benefits. Isolate us Germany and let the Japanese sleep and eat Difficult!"

"More importantly, Roosevelt's purpose is to widely create a tendency of public opinion, or a false impression, that the Chinese government, which is currently one of the most powerful military forces in the world, is to be exact. It is the army of my old Chinese friend, Stand with the Americans and jointly deal with Germany and Japan. Just imagine, if the Chinese independent division troops stand on the side of the Americans, the future North American war. What will be the end?"

Hitler's words.The words were serious, and the German party, government, and military leaders all became pensive, and some even showed solemn expressions, obviously worried. Although they may not have Hitler's political mind, they are not political idiots either.Deeply know that there is no permanent enemy.There is only eternal benefit.

However, Hitler's next words had another meaning, "Roosevelt is smart, but my old Chinese friend is not so easily regarded as a pawn by Roosevelt, let alone kidnapped by a statement from the Americans! China Independent division troops, we know better than Roosevelt the purpose of attacking the Japanese occupied area in the Southwest Pacific!"

Dr. Goebbels, the propaganda minister of the Nazi Party, said right away: "I agree with the analysis and judgment of the Führer. Simply put, the purpose of Roosevelt's statement is moral kidnapping and moral kidnapping. The purpose is nothing more than a In fact, the Squadron's attack on the Japanese-occupied area in the Southwest Pacific also gave the Americans an important and only reason for this statement!"

Hitler was very satisfied with Goebbels' incisive expositions and summaries. Goebbels was always able to understand his intentions, and at the most appropriate time, he said the most appropriate words. In this regard, all senior cadres in the Nazi Party are very satisfied. No, including Himmler.

"I really want to know, my old Chinese friend, what kind of expression does he have after seeing this statement from the Americans?" Hitler said with a smile. At the same time, he also ended today's informal meeting.

In Indochina Peninsula, Yangon, where the headquarters of the Independent Division is located, the division refers to the news office, which has recorded all the contents of the American statement. Now, the written statement is placed in front of Tang Qiuli , he was watching carefully.

The teacher pointed out that Colonel Ge Zhenzhuang, the director of the staff department, and Lieutenant Colonel Mei Xue, the director of the news department, were in the office, looking at Tang Qiuli without saying a word. present.

After a while, Tang Qiuli raised his head and said, "Roosevelt is quite good at taking advantage of the opportunity. This statement is very provocative. It seems that there are experts in the US government who are well versed in writing." Here!"

Ge Zhenzhuang didn't say anything, but Mei Xue was almost overwhelmed by her husband's words. The intention of the Americans to issue this statement, the independent teacher refers to the internal, anyone can see that it is completely wishful thinking, in the name of morality and justice, In fact, kidnapping the Independent Division and trying to drag the Independent Division onto the American chariot, this approach, in Mei Xue's view, is absolutely despicable and insidious.

According to Mei Xue's understanding of her husband, even if she is not angry, she will still swear a few ugly words. It is uncomfortable for anyone to be used by Americans for no reason, especially with such a despicable method, but her husband said such a few words The words, even brought up the literary talent, it is really pissed off!

"You...!" Mei Xue couldn't help it, and said, "You are the teacher, give me an instruction, how to respond to this statement from the Americans? Our news office can follow it!"

"Response?" Tang Qiuli looked at his wife with a smile that was not a smile, as if admiring her angry beauty, and then said: "Response? We don't say anything, no response, no attitude, that's the best response." , since the Americans want to take advantage of this opportunity, let Roosevelt sing a one-man show!"

"Once we have a response, with Roosevelt's political wisdom and Americans' consistent ability to spread rumors and make troubles, we will make a big fuss about it. Therefore, we will do nothing or say nothing, just pretend we didn't hear or see it. , wouldn’t it be better to do things according to your own plan!”

"So, Director Mei, you have to warn those writers in the news department to pretend that this incident never happened, and do what you should do, you know!"

"Is this the end?" Mei Xue said angrily, widening her beautiful eyes.

"It's over!" Tang Qiuli replied very simply, Mei Xue gave her husband a hard look, and left without knowing what to do.

Looking at his wife's slender back, Tang Qiuli disappeared through the door, shook his head and smiled, and then said to Ge Zhenzhuang, "Director Ge, what is the current progress of the various corps?"

Ge Zhenzhuang opened the folder and reported: "So far, the landing operations of each corps have progressed smoothly. As of two hours ago, all the Marines of Commander Hantie, and No. 20 of Deputy Commander Jing Zhanqi All of the Ninth Corps have successfully landed on Luzon Island and Mindanao Island, and the troops are advancing in depth to the above two places!"

"The remaining eight brigades directly under the corps, the first, second, third and fourth brigades of the Songhu Garrison Corps, under the command of Chief of Staff Zhao, successfully landed on Sumatra Island. At present, the troops are competing with the Japanese army for depth The target, because the island is a key defensive area for the Japanese army, and the fighting is more intense."

"The entire Niangziguan Garrison Corps of Commander Feng Jiwu Feng and the remaining troops of the Songhu Garrison Corps of Commander Jiang Yanming successfully landed on Kalimantan Island. At present, they are fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in the central region. The island is also occupied by the Japanese army. One of the two key defensive islands, the fighting is more intense."

"Commander Ma Chaoyang's entire Southeast Mobile Corps is targeting Java Island, and Commander Yuan Jinghao's North China Field Corps is targeting Irian Island. The above two offensive targets are far away from the starting point of the attack. Landing The battle started five hours ago, and is currently under attack!"

"In addition, because our army's attack on other areas had to be several hours in advance, the Japanese garrison on the two islands had time to prepare in advance. The resistance of the Japanese army on the beachhead was quite intense, and the progress of the troops was slow. It went well!"

"It's not surprising!" Tang Qiuli said. "Our biggest difficulty in launching the Southwest Pacific Campaign this time is that the targets of the attack are at different distances. It is difficult to guarantee that all troops will attack at the same time!"

"I want to tell Ma Chaoyang and Yuan Jinghao not to be impatient. Now, each offensive target is an independent combat direction, and the situation is different. This requires our commanders to properly adjust the offensive rhythm and deployment according to different situations. .”

"How about the casualties of the troops?" Tang Qiuli asked the most concerned question.

Ge Zhenzhuang was happy, and replied: "According to the reports of various corps, the casualties are much less than expected. Even in the direction of Java Island and Irian Island, the casualties of the troops are not large. Commander, we have an absolute advantage." The sea and air fire support of the Japanese army, the beachhead of the Japanese army, did not cause too much obstacle to the landing of the troops!"

"The Staff Office believes that the difficulty of the current Southwest Pacific campaign is no longer the initial landing stage, but the in-depth operations after landing. Therefore, it is recommended that the division commander order the various corps to adjust their deployment appropriately to adapt to the battlefield situation in the next stage. "

"It is very necessary!" Tang Qiuli agreed with Ge Zhenzhuang's opinion very much, and then ordered: "In accordance with the advice of the staff office, in the name of the division commander, give orders to all the corps! In addition, you prepare, the division will specify that in the morning, When we headed to the Sumatra battlefield, the troops have already landed, and I, the commander, still stay in Yangon, it is shameful! The command organization must be lean!"

"Master, there is one more thing. Maybe it's the new changes in the Japanese troops on the Southwest Pacific battlefield!" Ge Zhenzhuang hesitated before saying, "I think it's necessary to report to you!"

"Speak! Don't hesitate!" Tang Qiuli was very straightforward.

"According to the report of the special operations detachment lurking in various Japanese-occupied areas, the Japanese army is using various means to requisition a large number of ships, and even the fishermen's fishing boats have been requisitioned!" Ge Zhenzhuang said.

"Huh?" Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help wondering, "What are the Japanese going to do by requisitioning a large number of ships?"
