    Chapter 179

    The car was winding on the long mountain road. From a high altitude, the convoy of five-ton trucks looked like a giant dragon more than ten kilometers long.  Jiang Wushan, commander of the 15th Mechanized Corps, gave up the journey by plane and instead used a wheeled armored command vehicle to move forward with the brigade.  Jiang Wushan, a top student in the first batch of Wuhu Army University, has always been the unlucky type in the National Defense Forces.  During the Battle of Qingdao, he was not sent down to the army due to illness and stayed at the General Staff Headquarters as his staff officer, earning no combat merit at all.  Before the outbreak of World War I, Jiang Wushan was selected to study at West Point in the United States, but he did not get to fight.

    During World War I, Jiang Wushan volunteered to accompany the U.S. Army to France to participate in the war. His multiple applications were finally approved, and he became a U.S. tank company commander. He did not want to be transported to Europe, but the war ended and Germany surrendered.

    After returning to China, Jiang Wushan has been teaching at Baoding Mainland University. It was not until the National Defense Forces established a large-scale mechanized force that Jiang Wushan had the opportunity to take charge of the army. He was strongly recommended by Jiang Fangzhen and Xu Shuzheng as the newly formed 15th Army.  Commander of the mechanized corps. The mechanized corps has a standard configuration, including three mechanized divisions, a logistics support brigade, a pontoon brigade, an engineering regiment, and various military units.  The army was established in Kunming, which shows that someone has been coveting Myanmar for a long time.  There is no other way. China is short of oil and copper mines. Myanmar has both of these things. The key point is that it is close to China.

    Chiang Wushan¡¯s mission is to take over Burma¡¯s defense. This point has been reached with the British army. The British side has repeatedly urged China to take over the defense because the Japanese army went south.  This is a very funny thing to say, but within the National Defense Forces system, are they extremely proud of this matter?  The dream of a powerful nation is in the heart of every soldier.  The British Empire, which was once invincible, was bitten by a white-eyed wolf raised by its own hands and hurriedly sought help from China. This made the soldiers of this era sigh and feel deeply happy at the same time.

    The convoy suddenly stopped, and the 86th Tank Regiment at the head informed by radio that there was a British checkpoint ahead, and the British garrison was holding a welcoming ceremony, asking the military commander for instructions on how to respond.  Jiang Wushan's command vehicle moved forward quickly and arrived at the end of the edge of the mountains. At the end of the suddenly clear road ahead, a British band was playing music.

    Carrying the rank of lieutenant general, Jiang Wushan got out of the car and straightened his clothes before strolling forward.  A British colonel strode forward, saluted and said loudly: "Colonel Judson of the Royal Army of the British Empire, salute the General. I have been ordered to welcome you here and hand over the defense to your army. This is the first stop. Next,  Please allow me to lead the way for you."

    "Thank you for your hard work! Colonel, I'm glad to get your help!" Jiang Wushan was still very polite and there was no need to add any extraneous details.  The army is not the navy, there are not many officers who studied in the UK, and they don't have any good impression of the British Empire.  In contrast, the navy is different. Almost 30% of the officers are studying in the UK, and their positions are not low, and many of them have a favorable impression of the UK.

    After entering Myanmar, the first city the 15th Mechanized Army took over was Lashio, where the British army stationed a battalion. The lower-level British army unexpectedly warmly welcomed the arrival of the Chinese.  Jiang Wushan was puzzled by this. When chatting with Judson at the banquet in the evening, he learned that the Chinese Air Force's outstanding performance in the air battle over Great Britain conquered the entire United Kingdom.  In addition, the Japanese army moved south, and the British troops were insufficient and eager to mobilize troops from Burma for reinforcements.  Moreover, before China sent troops, Britain had already deployed a tank brigade, and the remaining garrison was only two British brigades and a British Indian division.  In the entire northern Myanmar, there is only one British military brigade, and another brigade is stationed in Yangon.

    After the 15th Mechanized Army entered Myanmar, the newly formed 100th Infantry Army also landed from Yangon.  As if by God's will, the commander of the 100th Infantry Corps was named Du Yuming, and he had three B divisions under his command.  The reason why so many troops are deployed in Myanmar is mainly based on the Japanese military strength in Thailand. At this stage, the Japanese army only has one division in Thailand, and the rest of the troops are attacking Singapore.  A mechanized army can block at least five divisions of the Japanese army and win them in battle. This is how arrogant the current National Defense Force is.  The main task of the 100th Army is to maintain local security and ensure the smooth establishment of Myanmar's autonomous government.  Let the 15th Mechanized Corps handle the matter of fighting.

    After the Chinese troops in Myanmar entered Myanmar, they completed the defense change in just half a month. This happened suddenly, which was equivalent to a blow to the Japanese army that was raging in Southeast Asia.  The Japanese Army, in particular, was hit particularly hard and was still immersed in the dream of advancing from Thailand into Burma after Thailand surrendered. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs received a note from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  "According to the "Nanjing New Treaty" signed by China and the United Kingdom, China will fully take over British interests in Myanmar and requests Japanese military operations in Nanyang not to enter Myanmar to avoid unnecessary disputes or even military conflicts."

    Why is it called"Nanjing New Treaty", because this treaty was signed in Nanjing, why was this treaty signed in Nanjing?  No Chinese in this era will forget that there was a Treaty of Nanjing that opened the door to the Qing Dynasty.  From that time on, imperialism only had to set up cannons on China's coastline to make the cowardly Qing government succumb.

    Although there is a sense of humiliation of making wedding clothes for others, the Japanese government still made a humiliating decision to recognize this "Sino-British New Testament".  Why?  It's very simple. Japan has made a lot of money in Nanyang and is now busy digesting it.  There is another one, Java. China¡¯s evacuation operation is still continuing, but it is almost done and will be completed in a month at most.  Japan, which could not wait any longer, decided to attack Java and seize its oil fields.  If there is a falling out with China at this time, then Japanese freighters that are constantly carrying gold, silver and other valuable materials back and forth from Nanyang on the vast sea are likely to become the hunting targets of Chinese submarines.  As for the Chinese Navy, more than half of the Japanese combined fleet is currently monitoring the movements of the Chinese Navy.  To be honest, Japan is now afraid that the Chinese navy will suddenly attack!  No matter how arrogant the Japanese Navy is, after experiencing the Battle of Nanyang and seeing the power of aircraft carriers, the Japanese Navy has no idea about the strength of the Chinese Navy, which has five 38,000-ton aircraft carriers and three 22,000-ton aircraft carriers.  A new understanding.  I used to think that the Chinese navy was nothing more than this, but now I really think about the tonnage of its aircraft carriers being much higher than the battleships. Yamamoto Isoroku's scalp is numb, and he has repeatedly proposed to build new large-tonnage aircraft carriers.  Forget it if it is just an aircraft carrier. Even the Germans are interested in the Chinese carrier-based aircraft and have introduced the technology.  Does Japan's latest zero-fighter really have an advantage against China's Swift carrier-based aircraft?  The Japanese navy's spy network even tried to get a Swift back several times to see how it went.  In this matter, due to the rapid closeness of Japan-Germany relations, there is no need to take risks. Germany promised to provide a batch of new fighter jets to Japan as a reward for Japan's move south.

    Of course, Germany has repeatedly reminded Japan not to take advantage of China. The main goal of the three-nation alliance is still [***].  And now China is standing on the front line of [***]. Japan must not cause trouble, otherwise none of its allies will be able to do anything.

    ¡°Mustache wishes that China would hold back the Soviet Union, so that he could wholeheartedly deal with Britain.

    The Japanese government can only pinch its nose and issue another statement on China-Japan friendship.  It publicly stated that Japan respects China¡¯s interests in Myanmar and also asks China to respect Japan¡¯s interests in Southeast Asia.  The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded that China will remain neutral during the war in Southeast Asia unless China's interests are threatened.

    In short, the world situation in this time and space can only be worse for Britain, not the worst.  Churchill is eagerly looking forward to China and the United States joining this world war, so he can at least share some pressure with Britain, right?  But in the current situation, it seems that neither China nor the United States has any reason to invest in the British side.  The good news from China did make Churchill excited for a moment, but reality soon calmed him down. The message deciphered by the intelligence department told him even worse news. The Soviet Union and Germany restarted the Black Sea Fleet concession.  of negotiations.  Bearded man, what on earth do you want to do?  Can we not get involved in the war between Britain and Germany?

    Churchill¡¯s roaring bearded man could not be heard at all, and he urged the Foreign Affairs Committee to reach an agreement with Germany as soon as possible and introduce the latest German tanks and fighter planes.  The reason is very simple. The war situation in Central Asia has completely collapsed. Including the Battle of East Kazakhstan, as of November 5, a total of one million Soviet troops have been wiped out in the battle, including the few mechanized troops.  Two mechanized armies.  This is not the worse news. The even worse news is that Beard learned that China has formed a total of fifteen mechanized armies. According to the establishment of the Chinese mechanized army, you have forty-five tank brigades, and each tank brigade has three tanks.  One hundred and fifty to four hundred vehicles.  According to this statistics, the number of tanks equipped by China has reached a number that can give people a heart attack.

    This statistic is basically true. The number of tanks equipped by China has been increasing.  This is also a major factor that worries President Fang about strategic oil reserves. It is also the reason why Fang Jianxiong risked falling out with Germany and secretly colluded with the United Kingdom.  It's all about oil!

    The number of tanks that shocked the bearded man was the result of more than 30 years of national efforts by Fang Mou.  In this time and space, China took advantage of the First World War and the economic crisis to get rid of decades of national turmoil and division. Without the blood-sucking of Japan, the biggest leech, and Fang Jianxiong's painstaking efforts, it finally saw a powerful China.  The east of the world slowly stood up, like Kuafu chasing the sun, blocking the sun!

    On the day when Japan issued the statement, when Fang Jianxiong faced the military and political officials in the conference room of the Ministry of National Defense, he looked proudly: "At this moment, I can confirm that the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is on the right track! We are going to break through the WestIn a world dominated by white people, if you become one of the makers of new game rules, you must make more sacrifices!  Soldiers sacrifice their lives, and ordinary people sacrifice their quality of life for a period of time!  "(To be continued.)
