    Chapter 177 Zhukov was ordered to do something in danger

    "The world in Southeast Asia has changed. The white people who used to be so proud in this area are now as panicked as a lost dog!" There is this passage in a Japanese newspaper. Although he hates Japan as much as he hates Britain, Mr. Fang still agrees with this statement in his heart.  .  The United Kingdom, the representative of Western developed countries, has committed crimes in various colonies around the world over the past 200 years. Based on this basis, their current experience is not worthy of sympathy at all.

    This is a world of cannibalism!  If the Chinese people do not want to be at the bottom of the food chain, they must make the country prosperous and strong!  The history of parallel time and space well proves this point.  Even in China thirty years after reform and opening up, don¡¯t European and American countries still have the so-called ¡°Batum¡± Agreement?  People just want to restrict you and contain you!

    In just twenty days, Japan swept across Southeast Asia!  If it were not for the evacuation of Chinese nationals, the Japanese troops would have landed in Surabaya.  Now in the entire South Pacific, the only ones that can travel unimpeded are Chinese ships flying the five-color flag. Even American ships in this area will be inspected and made difficult by the Japanese navy.

    It is unrealistic to expect China to join the war, so Johnson came to ask China to allow some British and Dutch ships stranded in China to fly the five-color flag to ensure that they can safely pass through this sea area and return to safe waters.

    "What is the total tonnage of these ships?" Fang Jianxiong did not rush to agree, but asked rhetorically.  Zhuang Sen didn't know what he meant, but he thought about it carefully and said: "The specific number is unknown, but it must be about 2 million tons."

    "Let's do this. Then these ships will be used as part of the British payment for purchasing military supplies in China. The specific amount will be determined after statistics. The personnel on the ship can be regarded as employees of China." Fang Jianxiong said.  Zhuang Sen was very surprised. Why does China need so many ships?  He has been in China for many years and knows that China's own shipping capacity has developed rapidly in recent years. Thanks to the development of Sino-US trade and Sino-European trade, China's shipping capacity has exceeded 10 million tons.  With such a powerful shipping capacity, why do we need these cargo ships?

    "After Japan moves south, I'm worried that the routes in the South Pacific may be blocked. So, we need to transport more strategic materials back before this happens." Fang Jianxiong added an explanation with a smile. Zhuang Sen's heart seemed to be shaken.  A huge force hit some hard.  Trembling all over, he nervously asked in a low voice: "How long will this time last?"

    Fang Jianxiong thought for a while and said: "It can be as fast as one year, or as slow as one and a half years. As a member of the free world, China cannot sit back and watch Japan's rampage in Southeast Asia for a long time. Mr. Minister, these words left this room. I am absolutely  You will not admit what you said. You should know that it is difficult for Congress to fight on two fronts through China, and China¡¯s financial resources are not enough to support two fronts unless it can receive sufficient assistance."

    After drawing a piece of cake for a year's time, Zhuangson turned around and left excitedly. When he reached the door, he remembered that there was something else to say. He quickly turned around and said: "President, there is one more thing. The British Governor in Singapore and some  British officers are all valuable assets of the British Empire. The country hopes to take them out, but now only China has this ability."

    When mentioning this matter, Fang Jianxiong hesitated for a moment and decided to help Britain.  After all, China and Britain are handing over Myanmar's interests, and it is necessary to help at this time.  "Surface ships are not suitable for going to Singapore. If they don't mind taking a submarine, I can ask the navy to send a submarine force to secretly sneak into Singapore Harbor."

    Zhuang Sen has no doubt about this. China has always attached great importance to the development of submarines. It is not surprising that submarines have the ability to travel long distances.  After saying this, Zhuang Sen took out another document hidden close to his body, quietly placed it on the table, and then confessed again.  Fang Jianxiong also sent a person to lead Zhuang Sen to the Navy to negotiate specific contact information.

    After sending Zhuang Sen away, Fang Jianxiong was still thinking about the issue of Myanmar. After a period of exploration, the report Fang Jianxiong received was very helpless.  It was unrealistic for China and Myanmar to build railways before. The roads could be widened, but the amount of work would be huge and the normal construction period would be no less than three years.  The Burma Highway in parallel history was a dangerous road winding between lofty mountains. This reality cannot be avoided in this time and space.  The most ideal mode of transportation is by sea.  Once China and Japan start a war, shipping will definitely be cut off, so time must be taken to transport more oil back.  With the current demand of the Chinese Army, it would be impossible to sustain a world war without hundreds of millions of tons of oil.  At present, China's strategic reserves of crude oil are only 30 million tons. Although Daqing produces 30 million tons of oil every year, it is not enough to meet the demand of the domestic market.  The result of the accelerated industrialization process is that the demand for oil has doubled exponentially.  Just for Mercedes-Benz's three-wheelers in rural areas of China's Everbright, there are now no less than three million units.  In the past ten years, the development of China's automobile industry hasIt is growing at a rapid pace, not to mention producing 200,000 cars of various types annually, and tens of thousands of cars are imported from Europe and the United States every year to meet the needs of the growing number of wealthy people since the Republic of China.  Many people shouted in support of domestic products, while all the cars coming in and out were imported cars, as well as the shipping and navy, which are big gas guzzlers.

    As for those British and Dutch ships, Fang Jianxiong was not worried at all about not getting them.  How could a man as smart as Churchill not hold on to China?  Myanmar has been given away, so what are some ships?  Besides, without China's help, whether these ships can leave China is a question.

    Picking up the document left by Johnson on the table, Fang Jianxiong read it carefully. The British and American Joint Statement, is this the Atlantic Treaty?  Parallel time and space probably started from this incident, and the foundation for the formation of the world structure after World War II was laid.  This time and space did not catch up with Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, and there was no clue to aid the Soviet Union, let alone the formation of the Cold War pattern after World War II. The Soviet Union seemed to have no chance to dominate the Eastern world.  Objectively speaking, in World War II in parallel time and space, without a large amount of assistance from the United States, the Soviet Union might not be able to withstand the German attack.  After all, at the beginning of the war, the Soviet army suffered too many losses.  Without U.S. assistance, even if there were people and equipment, it would not be replenished so quickly.  In this time and space, what if the United States aids China in fighting the Soviet Union?  What will be the result?  The future world structure, a world that is in line with China's interests, should be diversified, right?  The United States wants to dominate one country, and Fang Jianxiong will never agree to it.  The two powers of China and the United States standing side by side seem to be a bit tiring for China. It is okay in the short term, but it will definitely not be consumed in the long term.  Therefore, to do well is to have another powerful force, and the three-legged confrontation is the best pattern that is in line with China's interests.

    Mustache, you must live up to your expectations!  It would be best to fight the US emperor for ten to eight years and still maintain a draw.

    Bearded man, what are you thinking about now?

    The bearded man was in a meeting, and Joseph, who was always correct, would naturally not admit his mistakes in the meeting.  Someone was going to take the blame. This person was quite skilled in the business of taking the blame for Comrade Joseph, so he stood up at the first moment of the meeting and said that he had made a mistake of left-leaning opportunism because he had seriously underestimated the military power of Chinese imperialism.  , which led to the Soviet army being in a disadvantageous position in the early stages of the Sino-Soviet war.  Comrade Froshilov is willing to take responsibility for this issue and asks the organization to punish him.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Ordinary people will certainly not live long if they make mistakes, for example, Pavlov, who has been taken from the office with a flying Junker, and will appear in front of Stalin after the meeting.  The outcome of waiting for Pavlov is doomed. There is nothing to discuss, and no one will plead for him.

    The meeting was a success. With the enthusiastic help of the comrades, Comrade Voroshilov, who had a good attitude, gained the understanding of the comrades and agreed that good comrades should be given a chance to make amends.  The second person to take the blame was a certain person in charge of the intelligence department. Due to their insufficient intelligence work, it had a negative impact on the General Staff's formulation of combat plans.  When the meeting ended in a good and warm atmosphere, Zhukov, who had been sent to the reserve and sat on the bench for more than a month, had been waiting in Stalin's office for an hour.

    Seeing Zhukov, a rare smile appeared on Stalin's stiff face, but the smile soon disappeared because news came that a certain unlucky guy was being escorted to Moscow.  In Stalin's office, Zhukov stood very straight and showed no complacency at all.  This is also a smart man. Although he has never watched the Three Kingdoms, if he is placed in Tian Feng's position, he must know how he died.

    "What do you think about the war situation in Central Asia? Comrade Zhukov?"

    "Comrade Stalin, the only choice now is to trade space for time and delay the war until winter." Zhukov is not a god and has no power to recover.  Stalin took a deep drag on his pipe and said in his usual slow tone: "Pavlov has returned to Moscow. You can meet him later and find out how he defeated the war. There is a plane ready tonight  Now, you go to Central Asia and take over the position of commander of the front army. If you need anything, just ask, but we must stabilize the war situation."

    "I understand, Comrade Stalin. Before leaving, I would like to remind the comrades in the equipment department that the problems exposed by our army's anti-tank forces in past battles must be solved in a timely manner. Soldiers cannot be allowed to use weapons that cannot be destroyed  The enemy's anti-tank guns and tanks are used to deal with the new tanks of Chinese imperialism. There are also fighter planes. If possible, new fighters must be developed as soon as possible." Zhukov's words are still very pertinent, and he speaks completely from the perspective of war needs.  This made Stalin feel very comfortable. This kid didn't drag him up just because he was right.  (To be continued)
