    Chapter 163

    Shanghai, China¡¯s main window to the outside world, the bustling Bund is crowded with people.

    A group of college students stood on the side of the road handing out flyers. The cute girl had a belt around her neck and a donation box on her chest.  A round platform used by police to direct traffic was commandeered by a student, holding a loudspeaker and giving a speech.

    "Citizens, citizens, please stop and listen to what I have to say." Passers-by gradually gathered around, and the young man seemed a little excited, and said loudly with a trembling tone: "In this city, twenty years ago  Concessions were still everywhere. What kind of life did the Chinese live at that time?"

    The young man's speech soon attracted many onlookers, which made him even more excited: "During the Qingdao War, President Fang Da once said, 'The purpose of this war is to prevent the Russo-Japanese War from happening again on the Jiaodong Peninsula.  I absolutely cannot accept that the next war will break out in the hinterland of China.' Now, the President has arrived in Dihua, and he is fulfilling his vow back then! And what can we do? In order to no longer live the kind of life that foreigners have to deal with.  In these days when cows are like horses, I urge everyone to contribute if you have money and if you are able,"

    The scene of passers-by making donations fell into the eyes of a man more than ten meters away.  The man glanced at the scene silently, looked around carefully, and walked into an alley.

    "Mr. Shi, are you here?" In a small house at the end of the alley, a middle-aged mother with an ordinary appearance stood at the door. She looked around carefully and closed the door after finding that there was no problem.

    "Has everything been done?" Shi Zhongbufen has always been worried about one issue, that is, what will China do after Japan goes south.  Because of this concern, after the Sino-Soviet war broke out, he came to China and tried every means to get information.  As a result, the information he received was all pointing in the same direction, namely the west and north directions.  It seems that all the enthusiasm of the Chinese people is directed to the west and north, and factories are working overtime.  According to intelligence provided by a Japanese spy who had been lurking in the early years of the Shanghai Automobile Factory under Sanlian Heavy Industry, production of all cars has been stopped and the company is producing accessories for off-road vehicles and wheeled armored vehicles needed by the army day and night.  The news received from Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group is even more shocking. Armor steel produced for warships is being continuously pulled out of the warehouse and transported to the train station by car.  An intelligence officer lurking in Wuhan reported that the original Sino-US Wuhan Curtiss aircraft was manufactured.  There are three shifts every day to produce a new type of aircraft. As many as fifteen aircraft are shipped out of the factory every day. Each one undergoes a simple test flight and then flies away the next day.  Because the level of confidentiality involved in this new aircraft was too high, the intelligence officer could not reach it.  The news from Wuhu is that all production workshops are running 24 hours a day.  Except for necessary maintenance, they are working non-stop.  When the intelligence officer saw Shi Zhongbufen, the three shifts had been going on for a month.

    Shi Zhongbufen also found a place near the Shanghai train station to observe for several days, and the situation he found was not much different from the information he had.  Shanghai Railway Station has a very dense train schedule, with a truck departing almost every fifteen minutes.  The news received at the dock was similar. Ocean freighters were transporting supplies to Shanghai.  They are directly transferred to inland river boats at the dock and transported to cities such as Nanjing, Wuhu, Wuhan, and Chongqing in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. All these materials are nothing more than iron, copper, aluminum, rubber, etc.

    Shi Zhongbufen is still very confident in his intelligence network. Over the years, China and Southeast Asia have devoted his efforts to intelligence work.  He believed that major events happening in China would be difficult to hide from his intelligence network.  The only regret is that there are many large military industrial enterprises in China.  The security level is too high, and all personnel are not qualified to work if their ancestors do not have clear explanations.  This results in an indiscriminate intelligence network that makes it difficult to access high-level secrets.

    Of course, what Shi Zhongbufen is most proud of is not this intelligence network. The codename "Ju" is the foreshadowing that he values ??most.

    "This is what I got back according to your instructions." This mother in her thirties.  He took out a blue cloth package and handed it to Shi Zhongbufen, then quietly stepped back and stood respectfully.

    "Thank you for your hard work. Go buy me a ticket to Nagasaki tomorrow. Remember, don't show up by yourself."

    After the woman went out, Shi Zhong opened the package carelessly. There was a bamboo tube inside. When he opened the bamboo tube, he found a roll of microfilm. This is the latest technology from the Americans. It cost a lot of money to get it back.  Beijing, now comes into play.

    Early the next morning, Shi Zhongbufen could finally return to Japan with peace of mind. The intelligence sent back by the codename "Ju" clearly pointed out that the strategic plan formulated by the Chinese was completely aimed at the Soviet Union, and they planned to launch a major war in Siberia.  A large-scale counterattack, striving to conquer the Soviet Union's Novosibirsk in Siberia before winter comes. To this end, the Chinese army has launched troops from Northeast China and Shandong Province.Elite troops and aviation units were mobilized from some places.

    Back in Tokyo, Shizhong rushed to the military headquarters without stopping, and the military headquarters was in a meeting at this time.  The imperial meeting had just concluded. Nagata Tetsuzan, who had not been assassinated in this time and space, as the Prime Minister of the Konoe Cabinet, presided over the meeting and announced a new appointment. Major General Ai Kawada was promoted to lieutenant general and became the commander of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army.  job.  The 41st Division consists of three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, an engineering regiment, a baggage regiment, and a division communications team, which belongs to the B division.

    The combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army's B Division is somewhat inferior, but as a rising star, no matter how famous it is, it is difficult to be directly appointed as the commander of the A Division.  Kawada Ai was quite surprised by this appointment. Deep down in his heart, he did not want to leave the army. If he stayed in the military headquarters, he would have more access to intelligence.  However, since he entered the military, his reputation has become too great.  From the "rising star of the mainland" to the "genius strategist of the military department" now, in the eyes of the Japanese Army staff officers, the humble and generous Kawada-kun is unparalleled in terms of international strategic vision.  It is said that Ai Kawada is Japan's second in strategic prediction, but no one dares to say that he is first.

    Facing Kawada Ai, who was somewhat stunned, Nagata Tetsuzan stepped forward seriously, bowed to him and said: "Kawada-kun, you are the most talented soldier I have ever seen, bar none! I believe that under your leadership,  , the 41st Division will illuminate the entire Southeast Asia and achieve great personal achievements."

    "Thank you very much, Mr. Nagata. To borrow a quote from Zhuge Liang, I will devote my whole life to the empire and die!"

    With a bang, the door was pushed open. Everyone looked at the rude intruder Shi Zhongbu, but they didn't react much.  This guy has always been like this. His intelligence is completely acceptable to the generals present, and his rougher personal style is completely acceptable.

    "Kawada-kun, is there any good news?" Nagata Tieshan asked with a smile. Shizhong walked up to Kawada Ai and said excitedly: "Kawada-kun, your prediction has come true again. China is going to war with the Soviet Union with all its strength.  , a war between the two largest countries on land will buy enough time for the empire to establish order in Southeast Asia."

    While everyone looked happy, Kawada Ai had a straight face, unable to see any joy. Instead, he quietly avoided the indiscriminate bows in the stone, walked to the map, looked at the huge map of Nanyang, and picked up the map with a stern expression.  The pole pointed at the United States across the Pacific Ocean and said: "Gentlemen, please don't forget that there is still this opponent. The industrial capabilities of the rice beast are the best in the world. It is impossible for the empire to defeat the rice beast alone. Once the rice beast is  In order to participate in the war, the Imperial Navy must destroy the Japanese Pacific Fleet, occupy Hawaii, and block the western sea passage of the Japanese within half a year. In this way, it can win the support for the empire to reorganize and rebuild order in Southeast Asia.  Three to five years. With the resources of Nanyang, the empire will be invincible. However, it will be very difficult to complete this task. Therefore, now is not the time to be happy. The empire is caught between the great powers.  You should fight to the death for the hegemony of the empire and never regret it even if you die nine times."

    "Well said! Gentlemen, work hard for the hegemony of the Japanese Empire!"

    If the Japanese army wants to go south, there is an inevitable problem, that is, it cannot go to war with China before Nanyang is stabilized.  Otherwise, the mere existence of Taiwan Island can expose Japan's entire southward communication line to the main force of China's Third Fleet stationed in Taiwan.  Therefore, it is extremely important to conduct diplomatic communication with China in advance.

    Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka was ordered to visit China with the purpose of appeasing China's uneasiness.  Nanyang is also a very dangerous place for China.  One is Nanyang's natural rubber, the other is Nanyang's oil, and Australia's iron ore. These are all indispensable resources for China's war.  If the guy named Fang felt threatened, he would definitely not let the Japanese army go south and would definitely take action against the Japanese army.

    Because Japan does not have long-range bombers, Matsuoka Yosuke took a Juncker imported from Germany. After flying to Beijing, Matsuoka Yosuke first met with Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui.  It was pointed out that China is currently a non-aligned country, and Japan has to respond to Germany's war in Europe because of its alliance with Germany. I hope China can understand.  Moreover, I hope the non-aggression treaty between China and Japan can be extended.

    When Wang Chonghui heard this, he was not only unhappy but also furious.  You damn little Japan took advantage of the war between China and the Soviet Union to threaten China.  Do you really think you don¡¯t know what you want to do?

    "No matter what Japan does, it must not affect China's interests. This is the final bottom line. As for the non-aggression treaty between China and Japan, I do not have the power to sign it. It must be reported to the president for decision and then submitted to Congress for review.  "

    Song Gang Yangyou proposed to meet Fang Jianxiong, but Wang Chonghui flatly refused.  The President is directing the decisive battle between China and the Soviet Union in Dihua. He doesn't have time to see you. He should wait in Beijing.

    At this time, the national defense?All preparations for the counterattack in Central Asia and the Far East have been completed and the countdown has entered.  (To be continued.
