France, which withdrew from the war and became a "neutral country" (actually a German protectorate), became a powerful tool for Germany to deal with Britain. Although the French army would not cooperate with the German army to fight against Britain, France's geographical advantages, mineral resources, agricultural products, and industrial Equipment, disarmament ordnance weapons (including a large number of aircraft, tanks, artillery) and the French navy were fully utilized by Germany. Not only that, the German army also seized a huge amount of British weapons in the Battle of Dunkirk, including more than 7000 The artillery, more than 1 anti-tank guns, more than 9 machine guns, more than 80 vehicles, and more than [-] tons of military supplies have severely damaged the vitality of the British Army. There are only four to five hundred soldiers left in the British mainland. If it weren't for the natural barrier of the English Channel, the British mainland would have been wiped out by the German army. Liu Lianjun was crumbling and in danger. However, the German army did not choose to attack like Cao Jun. With France, the German navy would no longer be blocked by the British at home.
In France, the German army is gathering, ready to launch an attack on the UK. The German army, navy and air force are racing against time to build military bases in France and the low countries. At this time, the UK can only rely on the navy and air force to defend its homeland. In order to compete for British air supremacy, the German Navy's submarines began to continuously sink British merchant ships and freighters (the German Navy has more than 400 submarines, and can also commandeer 100 of the French Navy. There are many submarines, and the Italian Navy also has more than 100 submarines, but it is difficult to enter the Atlantic Ocean for a while).
Four or five hundred submarines launched unlimited submarine warfare against the British mainland. The destructive power can be imagined, turning the seas around the UK into black holes of death that swallow ships.
Dealing with Britain was a matter for the Luftwaffe and the German Navy, and the German Army was just a foil. In fact, hundreds of thousands of elite German Army soldiers went south directly after evacuating the French battlefield, and their troops were directed at southern Europe.
The reason why Hitler gave the order to attack southern Europe was not to give up the attack on Britain, but based on three considerations: First, the attack on the British mainland was mainly a matter of the navy and air force. If the army was dead, it would be more than enough to dispatch 100 million troops. After all, the essence of the British Army is peeling potatoes in the German POW camp at this time, and the German Army now has 500 million troops, and a large number of troops are idle, so the German Army has deployed hundreds of thousands of troops and a small part of the Air Force The attack on southern Europe with the assistance of aircraft will not affect Germany's attack on the British mainland; secondly, Germany's attack on the UK is not to directly attack the British mainland, but to launch a naval blockade, that is, to cut off the connection between the British mainland and the British colonies. It is difficult for the British mainland to obtain war resources from its colonies. To accomplish this, it is best to do both. One is to send a large number of submarines to launch unlimited submarine warfare against the British mainland, and the other is to directly destroy the British colonial system and occupy the British colonies. , let Britain become a small country again, and at the same time, occupying British colonies can also enrich Germany's national strength. If Germany wants to conquer British colonies in Africa, the Middle East and other places, it must first win Southern Europe; One of the main allies of Italy, during the Soviet War and the French War, Italy worked hard to cooperate with Germany, and Italy, which suffered 10,000+ casualties, did not get much benefit (although the Italian army performed mediocrely during the Soviet War and the French War , little success), this has already made Mussolini and the top Italian leaders somewhat dissatisfied behind the scenes. Therefore, in order to appease Italy and other allies, Germany must give them some sweetness and stabilize people's hearts.
Southern Europe is the territory that Germany promised to carve up to slave countries such as Italy, so Germany will naturally keep its word at this time.
It took Germany a year to win Eastern Europe, ten days to win Northern Europe, and a month and a half to win Western Europe. Right now, it is still a fast move to win Southern Europe, just half a month.
Southern Europe is mainly composed of three countries: Yugoslavia, Greece, and Albania.
Greece is a pro-German country, so after Germany began to win over, Greece immediately fell into the arms of Germany (in the past, Greece was willing to join the German camp, but Italy beat Greece indiscriminately, forcing Greece to join the Allied camp) ; Albania is a tiny country, which is nothing to worry about; Yugoslavia is a country forcibly formed by multiple ethnic groups. The internal ethnic conflicts are very sharp. Different ethnic groups hate and kill each other. The whole country is on the verge of falling apart.
By marching, Germany took down the three southern European countries effortlessly, Greece became a new member of the German camp, and Yugoslavia and Albania were divided up by Germany and several slave countries.
After the end of the Soviet War, Ukraine, Romania, Finland, Poland, and the Baltic countries all got a piece of the Soviet corpse. Italy, Hungary, and Bulgaria did not border the former Soviet Union, so they did not get new territories.
At this time, in order to appease these partner countries, Germany allocated southern Europe to them.
Of course, Germany itself will also expand in southern Europe.
Germany incorporated the most northwestern part of Yugoslavia into the German territory, allowing Germany to obtain access to the Mediterranean Sea, which is a very valuable strategic benefit; Hungary also received a new territory in the northern part of Yugoslavia, which made Hungary, which was originally a landlocked country, also Gained valuable access to the Mediterranean Sea; both Romania and Bulgaria were assigned to the "strip" new territory in central Yugoslavia, making the two countries straddle the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and also gained valuable access to the Mediterranean Sea; Italy received Albania, which was coveted a long time ago, was allocated a large piece of land in the south-central Yugoslavia at the same time, and Greece, which had just joined the German camp, was allocated a piece of land in the south of Yugoslavia.
In the final analysis, Yugoslavia has acute ethnic problems, social turmoil, backward economy, and not particularly rich resources. There is no oil and water at first, but Yugoslavia has an outlet to the Mediterranean Sea, so this is exactly what Germany, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria are dividing up. The real benefits obtained in the process of Yugoslavia, these four countries have obtained access to the Mediterranean Sea through the partition of Yugoslavia, especially Hungary, the excitement is even more exciting, and for Hungary, a landlocked country, there is nothing more precious than access to the sea .
Although Italy is not very up-to-date, it is "the most obedient" after all. Although it did not make any contribution during the Soviet War and the French War, it was a bit of hard work anyway. Therefore, in order to reward Italy, Hitler also forced the new French government to transfer Tunisia, which was originally a French colony. The method of mortgage of war reparations was transferred to Germany, and then transferred from Germany to Italy, which made Mussolini and the Italian top leaders overjoyed.
I have to admit that Hitler's method of winning people's hearts was indeed very effective. The division of southern Europe made Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and other countries even more desperate for Germany. The slight dissatisfaction with Germany disappeared. After tasting the sweetness, he was even more obedient to Hitler.
Of course, Yugoslavia is not a piece of fat. The "Yugoslav Liberation Army" headed by Tito immediately launched guerrilla warfare in the forested areas of Yugoslavia, causing headaches for several countries that divided Yugoslavia.
In the process of carve-up of southern Europe, Hitler accepted Jiang Weiguo's proposal, dispatched airborne troops and elite troops, took control of Crete in Greece and the Maltese Islands in the central Mediterranean, and built these two geographically critical islands into the German army. The "unsinkable aircraft carrier" in the Mediterranean Sea and the sea transportation transfer station between Europe and North Africa. At the same time, the German Air Force built bases in these two places. The aircraft can cover the entire Mediterranean Sea, laying the foundation for the German army to enter North Africa next. .
As of the spring of 1942, except for the United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, and the Soviet Union, the rest of Europe was controlled by Germany. It was either a German territory, or a slave state or protectorate of Germany. Although Ireland was a neutral country in name, But with the German dark tune, close cooperation.
Germany completely monopolizes the European continent, except for Switzerland, a permanent neutral country.
Although Switzerland was surrounded by Germany, although it mobilized 40 troops to guard against Germany, it had to make some concessions, such as allowing Germany to use Switzerland's transportation network, etc., making Switzerland actually a "cooperating country" of Germany. ".
Germany's achievements at this time are indeed unprecedented in European history, and even Napoleon has never reached Hitler's level.
In China's high-level circles, Hitler got a very appropriate nickname: "Europe's Qin Shihuang".
Not only that, seeing that Germany was in a state of power at this time, Turkey, which had been wooed by Germany but wavering, was finally moved. It made up its mind and joined the Allied Powers on January 1, fighting side by side with Germany again like the last World War.
Turkey's national strength and military strength are average, but the country has an extremely important advantage, that is, the country's geographical location is guarded at the junction of the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, which is very important to the alliance countries.
With Turkey, the Allied Powers will naturally have a smooth path and get twice the result with half the effort to launch wars against Africa and the Middle East.
After pacifying southern Europe and winning over Turkey, the German Army began to form the "Africa Corps", preparing to march into the African continent. The commander of the army was Erwin Rommel, who was well-known in the French campaign.
These big gestures and actions of Germany are naturally seen by China and Japan. In fact, Germany does not want to hide it from China and Japan. In this regard, the top leaders of China and Japan have begun to implement measures to assess the situation.
However, China is calm and unhurried, and there seems to be no major movement, while Japan is even more restless.
After Germany defeated the Netherlands, Japan hurriedly took advantage of Germany's free ride and took over Dutch Indonesia (including Papua New Guinea, which was not a British colony at this time, but was "hosted" by Australia), and then Looking forward to Shu, the desire is hard to fill, and I can't wait to carry out a new round of "expanding the frontier and expanding the land".
In fact, after taking Indonesia (including Papua New Guinea), the Japanese were very annoyed to find that the local oil fields and oil wells were destroyed by the Dutch before surrendering, the oil production facilities were blown into piles of scrap iron, and the oil fields were destroyed. The fire burned into pieces of scorched earth, and several super-large oil fields were still burning when the Japanese army occupied the area. The sea of flames and black smoke were like clouds, so that the Japanese army had to act as firefighters, and it took a lot of effort to put out the fire. , And then came to an investigation result that made the Japanese extremely angry and extremely angry: it would take at least one or two years for comprehensive maintenance before the oil wells in these oilfields could be put into production again.
The angry Japanese immediately vented their firepower on the Dutch and Indonesians in their hands, tortured and tortured a large group of them to death. Not only that, but resistance broke out one after another in Indonesia, and many Japanese were killed. More and more annoyed.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Indonesia were indeed not abused by the Japanese. The Japanese army occupying Indonesia was considered "polite and kind" to the local Chinese and overseas Chinese. In addition, the Portuguese government and the Japanese government reached an agreement, East Timor was sold to Japan for 1000 million US dollars, and then incorporated into the "Southern State" by the Japanese.
Despite the lack of immediate access to much-needed oil and the suppression of local resistance, there is no doubt that the Japanese occupation of Indonesia was a major victory, a bountiful harvest, and continued appetite for the Japanese.
First of all, almost everyone in the Japanese high-level supports "continue efforts", and few people advocate "let it go as soon as it is good". However, there are major differences among the Japanese on how to make persistent efforts. Attacking Australia, however, there are great hidden dangers in doing so, because between Japan and Indonesia there are still the American colonies of the Philippines and the British colonies of Malaya and Brunei, especially Malaya and Brunei, which belong to the British colonies, completely lying on the ground. Between the mainland of Japan and Indonesia, if the Japanese army launches an attack on Australia, the British troops in Malaya and Brunei will easily cut off the sea passage between the mainland of Japan and Indonesia, making it difficult for the Japanese army to use it. To attack Australia, Malaya and Brunei must be resolved first. However, according to the internal agreement of the alliance countries, Malaya and Brunei are located north of the equator and belong to China. However, China is currently standing still, so Japan will "take care of it for you" ", take Malaya and Brunei, completely open up the road to the south, and then attack Australia. If China asks for Malaya and Brunei, Japan will return to Zhao. However, there are also disadvantages in doing so. First, Japan helps China to fight Malaya. And Brunei, isn't it a chestnut out of the fire?The Japanese army was exhausted and bled to death, but in the end they made a wedding dress for China, which was obviously displeasing. Secondly, China had put forward a "hint" that Japan was not allowed to touch China's territory, so the Japanese army's deployment was unknown.
The two factions with different opinions are arguing and arguing all day long. Some people think that they should "kill first and then play", and take down Malaya and Brunei first, and then return them to their original owners. They believe that China "will not be too angry". If you drag on like this, you will definitely have long nights and dreams.
According to intelligence, stimulated by the Indonesian campaign, Australia is conducting a "national mobilization" to prepare for the Japanese invasion. Although the United Kingdom is overwhelmed by itself, its troops stationed in the Far East are also ready to fight. Douglas MacArthur, the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the Philippine Army, has repeatedly asked Washington to "send more US troops, weapons, and supplies to the Philippines on a large scale."
At this time, the Japanese are like a vicious dog eager to pounce on a piece of fat, but the dog chain is caught in the hands of China.
On February 2, the new French government issued an announcement that surprised all countries in the world. The new French government declared that France had withdrawn from the war and became a permanent neutral country, and would no longer participate in the battles between world powers. The goal is to let the French people live a more prosperous life. For this purpose, in order to obtain foreign exchange income, coupled with the fact that France spent a lot of money in the war that just ended and owed a huge amount of war reparations to Germany, the French government intends to The four colonies of France were sold to China for US$1 million, namely Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia in Southeast Asia, as well as the largest island in Africa, Madagascar and its affiliated islands in the southwest of the Indian Ocean.
The French government showed great enthusiasm, claiming that "Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia were originally China's traditional dependent countries. At this time, it is natural for France to return these three countries to China. In addition, France has launched the Sino-French war before. Burning the Old Summer Palace and other unjust wars against China, so the French government sold the four French colonies to China in order to restore the friendly relationship between China and France and to express the French people's goodwill and apology to the Chinese people!"
"Lao Xi's double reed song is good!" Seeing the announcement of the new French government, Jiang Weiguo smiled, "This announcement is well-founded and flawless, which gives our country a legal basis for sending troops. Yes, yes! Okay, it's time to send troops. Don’t say that the Japanese are getting impatient with waiting, Lao Tzu’s million-strong army is also getting impatient with waiting! Haha!”
Chapter 604 The South Sea Wind Rises (3)
On February [-], amidst the expectations of the Germans and the urging of the Japanese, the Chinese army finally "moved".
On the morning of the same day, the Chinese government issued an announcement, officially announcing that it "accepted the new French government's statement to China", and then made a one-time payment of 800 million US dollars to the new French government through the neutral country of Switzerland. (Transferred) to the four colonies of China.
This major event was naturally presided over by Jiang Weiguo. Following Jiang Weiguo's order, the 101st Division of the Nanjing Army, which was undergoing combat training in tropical mountains and jungles in Yunnan Province, left Yunnan Province, crossed the national border, and entered the territory of French Indochina.
French Indochina includes Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
The 101st Division of the Nanjing Army first received Vietnam. The whole division first went from the training ground to Kunming, then took the train all the way to the mouth of the Sino-Vietnamese border, then entered Yunnan, and arrived in Hanoi after a day of continuous driving.
In Hanoi, Maxime Weygand, commander-in-chief of the Indochina French Army, had assembled his troops and was waiting for the Chinese army.
Liu Kan, commander of the 101st Division, and Wei Gang held a handover ceremony. The process went smoothly and the atmosphere was friendly. The entire territory of Vietnam was handed over to China by France.
Vietnam is in the era of feudal monarchy at this time, the dynasty is "Nguyen Dynasty", the country name is "Da Nan Empire" (Vietnamese Empire), the current emperor is Nguyen Phuc, and the year name is "Bao Dai". There is no doubt that this 28-year-old "Emperor" "Just a puppet controlled by the French.
After Liu Kan and Wei Gang held the handover ceremony, he immediately went to the palace to meet with Ruan Fujun, and started a "brief conversation between the general of the suzerain of China and the king of Fanbang".
In the Vietnamese palace full of murderous Nanjing army officers and soldiers, Nguyen Phuc shivered and received Liu Kan. The titular emperor had been notified about "France's 'selling' Vietnam to China" half a month ago. Knowing that China is about to replace France as the suzerain of Vietnam, he has mixed feelings and mixed feelings. China and France are both strong and big countries, while Vietnam is just a weak and small country. Playing with the fate in the hands, the French are gone, the Chinese are here, the fate of Vietnam has not changed, it is still a vassal state, but it has just changed a master. , has nothing to do with Vietnam since ancient times. After all, China and Vietnam are countries of the yellow race in the East. The culture and civilization of China and Vietnam are also one. Vietnam has been deeply influenced by Chinese civilization for thousands of years. Although the Vietnamese continue to "resist" the control of China, But the Vietnamese themselves have to admit that Vietnam cannot escape the influence of China. If it can only be a vassal country, then it should be better for the suzerain to be China than France, and China should treat Vietnam more leniently than France.
In the main hall of the palace, Ruan Fujun sat on the dragon chair with a little nervousness and anticipation, looking at Liu Kan below.
Liu Kan bowed to Nguyen Phuc Maan with neither humility nor arrogance, and then said: "Your Majesty, I am here to carry out the handover ceremony with the French who invaded Vietnam under the orders of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and General Jiang Weiguo. At the same time, on behalf of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and General Jiang Weiguo General Jiang Weiguo pays homage to you and informs you that from now on, Vietnam has officially ended its history of being colonized by the French and returned to the embrace of Greater China. From now on, Vietnam will be protected and supported by China. China and Vietnam are of one heart and one mind, Let’s keep moving forward together!”
Ruan Fuyan smiled wryly in his heart. The so-called "return to the embrace of Greater China" was clearly announcing that Vietnam had once again become a vassal state of China. He forced a smile: "I am not very happy with such good news. I thank Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. and General Chiang Wei-kuo to help Vietnam and the Vietnamese people get rid of French colonial rule!"
The dialogue between the two parties does not require an interpreter, because Nguyen Phuc can speak Chinese fluently.
At this time, the degree of Sinicization in Vietnam was very deep. Nguyen Phuc had been educated in Sinology since he was a child. When he was in power, he used Chinese to review official documents. There was a Vietnamese official who wrote Zhou Zhang in Vietnamese. Chinese is the official language. A year or two ago, the Vietnamese government initially started using Vietnamese and French at the same time, but basically it did not affect the dominant position of Chinese.
Liu Kan nodded: "Next, China will carry out comprehensive cooperation with Vietnam in military, political, economic, diplomatic and other aspects, and Vietnam will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future. Allowed, please remember, Your Majesty!"
Ruan Fuming could understand the threatening meaning in Liu Kan's words, and he nodded hastily: "Of course nothing irrational will happen, and besides, I don't want to see Vietnamese subjects being harmed, so I ask you, General, to take care and protect them." Thousands of subjects in Vietnam!"
Liu Kan showed a meaningful smile: "Your Majesty, please don't worry about this. The Chinese army has always been strict in military discipline. Wherever it goes, it will not commit any crimes, and it will never hurt innocent people.
In addition, I have one more thing to remind Your Majesty!"
"General, please speak!"
"The East has always respected China. Only Chinese monarchs can be called emperors. Monarchs of other countries can only call themselves kings. Although China has abolished the monarchy, the title of emperor is still supreme. It is best for other countries not to overstep.
Your Majesty, Vietnam’s country name and your monarch’s title need to be changed, the empire must be changed to a kingdom, and the emperor must be changed to a king!”
Ruan Fuyan suddenly broke out in cold sweat: "Thank you, General, for reminding me, I... this king knows!"
While receiving Vietnam, the 101st Division sent a regiment and a brigade to receive Laos and Cambodia respectively. Laos was also in the feudal kingdom at this time. Because the country was repeatedly invaded by the French, Vietnamese, and Thais, It is very decayed and fragmented, divided into multiple "states". The current dynasty is called "Champassak Dynasty", and the king is called Ratchadhanai, but the most powerful person in the country is the Luang Prabang monarch Sisawang Feng (West Sawan Vong later took advantage of the situation to unify Laos at the end of World War II and established the Kingdom of Laos), however, neither Ratchadhanai nor Sisavang Vong had the strength or guts to resist the fate of Laos becoming a vassal state of China again. Submit to China; Cambodia is also a kingdom, the king is Sisowath Monivong, and he also "submits to China in a timely manner".
The operation of the Nanjing Army to recover the three countries of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia can be described as effortless. It took a week before and after, and only paid a slight price for the loss of more than 30 people. factors, less than [-] people were killed or injured due to armed conflicts, some of the shooters were French soldiers, and some were armed personnel from the three countries of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia (including civilians with earthen guns and shotguns), or deliberately resisted Or shooting because of a misunderstanding, deliberate resistance is a private act, there is no organization.
It is worth mentioning that after the French army in Indochina learned that the motherland was defeated and surrendered and that Indochina was transferred to China, some officers and soldiers were very excited and tried not to recognize the new French government controlled by the Germans, and even planned to establish a new French government in Indochina. The "French government-in-exile" was established here to continue to resist Germany, and at the same time refused to give up Indochina to China, but these thoughts of seeking death were suppressed by Weygand. China has only 5 troops, of which only 12000 are French soldiers. The other nearly [-] are Vietnamese, Cambodians, and Laotians recruited locally. dignity, fighting to the last moment".
Together with the three countries of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, Madagascar, the largest island in Africa, was "sold" to China by France. Jiang Weiguo will definitely not refuse this piece of fat delivered to his door. However, China is still unable to control Madagascar. , because the distance is too long, the Chinese navy is not strong enough, China's ocean transportation industry is not developed enough, and the current world situation is in a stage of major changes, the sea route from mainland China to Madagascar is not smooth and smooth, most of the routes are in the hands of the British , although China and Britain have not declared war on each other, they are not very friendly. If Jiang Weiguo sends tens of thousands of people to Madagascar by boat now, they may beat dogs with meat buns, no matter the isolated islands It is still a lonely fleet, and the possibility of annihilation of the entire army is too great. Therefore, China has only accepted Madagascar in name, but has not really accepted it. For the time being, it is still "governed" by the French.
When the three countries of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia successfully returned to China’s sphere of influence, it happened to be the Spring Festival of Renwu Year (February 2). There is no doubt that this Spring Festival in China is like Christmas for the Germans and New Year’s Day for the Japanese. The whole country was jubilant and the whole people celebrated.
On February 2, the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Chinese government formally sent a note to the British government, hoping that the British government would "follow the example of the new French government, make every effort to improve Sino-British relations and take substantive measures for this purpose, such as relocating the three southern Tibet countries that originally belonged to China. , Myanmar, Malaya, Brunei and other places returned to China".
After receiving such a blatant request from the Chinese side, there was an uproar among the top officials in London.
First, China controlled Thailand, then Japan captured Indonesia, and then China took over the three countries of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The situation in Southeast Asia and the entire Far East became more and more complicated.
The forces of China, Japan, Britain, and the United States are intertwined in Southeast Asia. Faced with the aggressiveness of China and Japan, Britain and the United States have to feel deeply anxious. Today, there is no longer any doubt about the intention of the Allied Powers. The Commonwealth of Nations is already an enemy, and as for becoming an enemy with the United States, it is almost a matter of time.
The British High Command, which had made up its mind to confront the Allies in an all-round way, established the "Far East Fleet (Z Fleet)" and sailed to Southeast Asia to "contain China's or Japan's aggressive ambitions."
Southeast Asia has become a powder keg of increasingly heated conflicts between China, Japan, Britain and the United States.
On February 2th, a Japanese navy officer came to Wuhan to look for Jiang Weiguo. This person was the chief staff officer of the Japanese Navy's Joint Fleet Command and was deeply trusted and respected by Yamamoto 18 Kameto Kuroshima.
Jiang Weiguo knew that this black island turtle man was not an ordinary character, he was quite talented, because the attack on Pearl Harbor was Yamamoto 56's idea, and it was this black island turtle man who made the idea into a rigorous plan.
Like Yamamoto 56, Kuroshima Kameto has long recognized the role of aircraft carriers and aircraft in naval battles.
"Little General Jiang, I am here on behalf of Commander Yamamoto himself to discuss with Your Excellency the matter of 'Sino-Japanese Joint Operations'.
Oh, Commander Yamamoto is very busy now, and he really can't get away to come to China, so I will replace him, please forgive me for this!" Kuroshima looked very polite.
It is worth mentioning that since Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Jingguo were both "little Jiang", outsiders began to generally call Jiang Weiguo "little Jiang general" and Jiang Jingguo "little Mr. Jiang" in order to distinguish between them.
"Understood!" Jiang Weiguo laughed.
Kuroshima also laughed, he paused, and cut straight to the point: "Little General Jiang, Commander Yamamoto told me many times that you are a very smart person, and he praised you full of praise. In front of a smart person like you , there is no need to beat around the bush.
Let's be open and honest!General Jiang, your country recovered Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from the French without bloodshed. I congratulate you. This is a huge victory. At the same time, I believe that your country will not stop here, right?Because there are still many things in your country in the hands of the British, if you don't make persistent efforts to recover them all in one go, wouldn't it be a regret through the ages? "
