Chapter 2169
A new round of Japanese army expansion began. Not only in Japan, but also in Korea and Japanese Southeast Asia, the Japanese military service stations became extremely active.Although the Japanese army suffered big losses in the battles of Madang and Xiaoshan, its high-level officials always reported good news to the people but not bad news, so Japanese civilians only knew that the imperial army had just won a big victory in Shaanxi and drove away Xuemei in the Philippines. coalition forces.The frequent good news made the Japanese proud, and coupled with the propaganda of the communists, the Japanese were all proud to join the army and serve the emperor.So it is unbelievable that in just one week, the Japanese army was full of forty divisions in the mainland.In North Korea and Southeast Asia, the speed of the Japanese army's recruitment is also not weak-after tasting the sweetness of the Communist Army and the National Independence Army, Hideki Tojo, the guy who looks down on the "puppet army" the most, has to admit that the subordinate army can indeed bear the burden. Certain combat missions.With his support, the military department was able to offer better conditions when recruiting followers.As a result, Koryo sticks and Nanyang monkeys followed like a cloud, and soon Okamura Ningji's Gongrong Army added ten divisions.And the independence armies of various ethnic groups in Southeast Asia under the command of Masaharu Honma and Toshiichiro Koizumi also suddenly swelled to about 150 million people.

The military expansion went extremely smoothly. With rich soldiers in hand, the Kwantung Army, the North China Front Army, and the Korean Communist Army entered important towns on the north bank of the Yangtze River continuously by land and water.Soon, the Central China Front Army changed the bleak situation affected by the Battle of Madang and the Battle of Xiaoshan. Its command suddenly expanded to four armies, 21 divisions, 15 independent brigades, 20 Korean Communists and nearly [-] troops. Thousands of Chinese puppet troops.

The Japanese army's military expansion plan also affected the situation in Southeast Asia. The newly formed 30 National Independence Army was thrown into the Australian battlefield. MacArthur, who was already in a state of desperation, suddenly yelled that he couldn't bear it, and he frequently asked the White House for reinforcements.Due to the situation, President Roosevelt had to downgrade himself, and sent frequent telegrams to Ouyang Yun in an almost begging tone.So the Americans were particularly generous this time. Not only did they take the initiative to publicly say that the weapons and equipment for emergency assistance to the Central Army were not included in the agreement reached at the "Cairo Conference", but they also proposed to continue to retain the Far East Allied Forces Command, and the US military stationed in the Philippines is willing to continue Fight under the command of the Far East Allied Forces Command.

The Japanese army mobilized frequently, except for the Communist Army and the Puppet Army, which were all veteran troops.Every day, a few more green flags representing the Japanese army appeared on the military strength distribution map of the general headquarters of the Xuebing Army, and Ouyang Yun knew that this time, the little devil seemed to be ready to fight for his life.He has a small worry about this-in terms of military strength alone, the Japanese army alone has more than 50 people, which is nearly twice that of the Xuebing Army.Moreover, the current combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is not as different as it was in that time and space from when the Anti-Japanese War first started.The key lies in the appearance of Koizumi Toshiichiro out of thin air. Thanks to his efforts, the Japanese army's reserve system has become more robust.Therefore, the Japanese army did not experience a sharp decline in the quality of individual soldiers with the consumption of veterans. This is one of them.Second, the Japanese army did not hold a lot of weapons and equipment from World War I to the end like in that time and space.The use of new types of weapons, including the Type [-] semi-automatic rifle, increased the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army instead of decreasing. The current main force of the Japanese army has a considerable improvement in combat effectiveness compared with the beginning of the War of Resistance.Of course, the outdated tactical thinking of the Japanese army has not been changed. The contradiction between the Japanese army and the navy made the army people who are lonely and self-admired simply not listen to the opinions of Toshiichiro Koizumi.Then there was such a situation that the Japanese army always had fewer defeats when facing the central army whose weapons and equipment were not as good as their own. .

The Japanese army attached great importance to this battle, and since they were able to calmly assemble so many troops, Ouyang Yun felt that Japan's war potential would be re-evaluated, so he seemed a little worried.Now the whole world is at war, and because of the position of the Allies, the Xuebing Army and even China actually have a big enemy-***Germany.The trend of the Soviet-Russian battlefield completely deviated from the historical trajectory of the original time and space, which made Ouyang Yun very happy.He will have this complex because of the influence of historical factors.Although China and Soviet Russia belong to the same camp now, but in history, Soviet Russia was the country that invaded the most land in China.Looking at the Soviet-Russian war from a historical perspective, Ouyang Yun was happy to see Soviet Russia suffer.Because that means that China has the opportunity to gain greater benefits in this war, and even recover the land previously occupied by Russia.Why did Ouyang Yun risk many difficulties to form the Northwest Army?Without it, I just don't want Mongolia to be divided.

The cadet army still maintains secret contacts with Germany, but this contact has weakened after the missile diplomacy.There is no way around this, after all, the two countries belong to opposing camps.This made his attitude towards the Soviet Russia battlefield very contradictory. He hoped that Soviet Russia would be deflated, but at the same time he did not want Soviet Russia to be completely defeated.His ambivalence is also reflected in his relations with the United States.Due to the advantages of the traversers, he also stands at the height of history. He not only hopes that the United States will be defeated by Japan, but at the same time he is worried that Japan will become completely fat because of this, and the results of the Chinese battlefield and even World War II will be changed accordingly.

Because of this conflict, he did not reply to Roosevelt's telegram for help. After careful consideration, he opened his mouth and once again made a package of demands to the Americans.The conditions Ouyang Yun asked the Americans to meet were still on the naval ships. He hoped that President Roosevelt could assist the two aircraft carrier fleets of the Xuebing Army. In return, he would organize a joint army of more than 10 people to participate in the Australian defense war.

This telegram was sent to the White House in the United States when the Japanese army once again besieged and suppressed the Santai guerrilla base. After reading the telegram, Roosevelt did not delay for a second and immediately summoned the military leaders to discuss this matter.

The troops of the Xuebing Army participating in the Australian Defense War are still titled as the Second Army of the Xuebing Expedition, but their strength will reach 10.This was not enough to impress Roosevelt. What caught his eye was that the 6-strong army was fully equipped with land, sea and air, and would be equipped with two aircraft carrier fleets, an air corps, and more than [-] infantry.With such a troop size and arms configuration, it actually already has the ability to fight a large regional battle.Therefore, although he felt that the conditions proposed by Ouyang Yun were too harsh, Roosevelt still did not reject them outright.

During the Cairo meeting, the cadet army had acquired an aircraft carrier fleet and another aircraft carrier from the Americans through a military technology exchange agreement.Now Ouyang Yun asked them to provide two more aircraft carriers, so that the Xuebing Army's aircraft carriers would reach seven.At this time, in the dock in Karachi, an aircraft carrier independently designed and manufactured by the Xuebing Army is already under construction. As a result, the Xuebing Army will have eight aircraft carriers in the near future.This is already comparable to the size of the aircraft carrier of the original US Pacific Fleet-this is what makes Knox and others the most uncomfortable.It has also become the main reason why they suggested that the president reject the request of the cadet army.

Failed to get support from the military, Roosevelt did not immediately call Guangzhou to veto the matter, but called Vice President Wallace and others to discuss the matter from the political and people's livelihood levels.Different from the military's starting point for considering this matter, Wallace and others thought it was acceptable because they had to take voters' emotions into consideration.Wallace's statement is very representative: "If it saves the sacrifice of thousands of American boys, then we have earned it."

The positions of the generals and the politicians were diametrically opposed, and Roosevelt was obviously in favor of the politicians, so an enlarged meeting was held. At this time, a surprise Japanese army attacked Cairns, Australia, causing more than [-] casualties of the local US-Australian coalition forces .As a result, the politicians' right to speak was immediately enhanced, and Roosevelt followed the public opinion and signed a presidential order, agreeing to exchange the support of a [-]-strong student army at the cost of two aircraft carrier fleets in order to ease the crisis in Australia.

The telegram signed by Roosevelt requesting the Consul General in Guangzhou, George, to be the negotiator soon spread to Guangzhou. Ouyang Yun was very happy when he received the news.The Americans would never have thought that the reason why the Japanese army would raid Cairns at this time was because of the instruction of the General Command of the Xuebing Army.Ouyang Yun, Chang Gen and Shan Renxiong's painstaking plan of "stealing the sky for the sun" has finally begun to pay off.Not only the Americans would never have imagined, but the Japanese would also never have imagined that the Japanese commander Shota Sasaki, who led the army to attack Cairns without authorization, was pretending to be Jiang Yige, a student soldier.The even more frightening fact is that there are more than [-] members of the Xuebing Army who sneaked into the Fourth Division of Osaka through the plan of "stealing the sky for the day", and three of them are already general-level powerful figures.Jiang Yige was highly valued by Koizumi Toshiichiro because of his outstanding performance at the end of the Mindanao war. Although the Osaka Fourth Division was eventually forced to return to the army system, Sasaki Shota's position has been firmly established.At this time, he was promoted to major general, and his troops already exceeded [-] people.

The "Stealing the Sky for the Sun" plan and the relevant students participating in this plan are the top secrets of the student army, and the only people who know about it are Ouyang Yun, Chang En and Shan Renxiong.Jiang Yige's action this time was the first time that the headquarters used "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun", which made Ouyang Yun and others very uneasy, but the result made him overjoyed.It can be expected that because Jiang Yige and others are still young and can show their talents unscrupulously in overseas battlefields, they will definitely have a brighter future.And the farther they go on this road, the greater the rewards for the apprentice army will be.
