Chapter 194 Do you think I can control all this? (Second update!)
The current Fifteenth Army is a trap. As long as Kimura Hyōtaro is not a fool, he will never go there.
Only last time, he responded with silence.
It wouldn't be good to be silent this time, so Kimura Hyōtaro thought about it and decided to change the topic.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, you decide what to do with this guy Kawabe Shozo.”
As expected, Tojo Hideki’s attention was drawn to Kawabe Shozo.
“It goes without saying that he was naturally ordered to commit suicide by committing seppuku.”
First a division was gone, and now the city of Yangon is also gone. No one can protect him.
Hence, the fate waiting for him is to commit seppuku and commit suicide as a thank you to His Majesty the Emperor.
Before, I thought of asking him to make meritorious service for his crime, but now, instead of failing to make meritorious service, he even lost Yangon.
More importantly, the Navy lost a light cruiser, which is absolutely intolerable.
Who knew that Kimura Hyōtaro said something.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, in fact Hebianjun still has some merits. Two divisions of the 15th Army have already invaded Tianzhu and are attacking everywhere to expand the results.”
“The British army is already very busy for this reason.”
Who knows, Tojo Hideki frowned slightly and looked at the other person in confusion.
“It just puts the British army into a certain amount of trouble and cannot change the overall situation of the Fifteenth Army.”
"That's right, but our attack caused the British army to fall into chaos. For this, we can look for our allies to help." Kimura Hyōtaro said.
Hearing this, Hideki Tojo looked at each other like a clown.
"Allies? Our allies probably don't want to pay attention to us at all."
Who let the army fail to live up to expectations, originally thought that the Battle of Nomenkan would be a success.
The result is indeed quite red.
They are all stained red with the blood of their soldiers.
The heavy artillery and tanks that they were proud of were crushed to pieces.
Since then, the northern faction has completely shut up.
The German army was completely disappointed when they saw their performance.
Now I shamelessly want to find someone else.
I guess people don’t like him at all.
This is why Nagumo Chuichi went to find the German submarine captain, but they were too lazy to talk to him.
There is no other way, who can let the army fail to live up to expectations.
The navy is slightly better, but the Battle of Midway caused heavy losses to the navy, and it is not having a good time now.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the 18th Division and the 33rd Division led by Mutaguchi-kun can be said to have made great achievements. They held back most of the main force of the British army. Otherwise, the British and Indian troops would be transferred to North Africa. , then the German army in North Africa will be in a huge crisis," Hyoutaro Kimura explained.
“Well, this is indeed a big achievement, but it is not enough for our allies to take a high look at us.” Tojo Hideki shook his head and said.
To be honest, he regrets leaving now.
Mi Zhu’s strength exceeded his imagination.
At that time, it was better to go west directly.
Perhaps they will join up with their allies.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
“What if we add the British Mediterranean Fleet that raided the Suez Canal?” Kimura Hyōtaro changed the subject.
Hearing this, Hideki Tojo was startled, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Hyoutaro Kimura. Unexpectedly, this guy actually had some people in the navy.
good!
good!
The Army finally has a decent deputy commander.
After all, he was also born in the army, so he naturally wanted to go to the army.
"If this is the case, we can indeed talk to the German army. If the British Mediterranean fleet can really be annihilated, then the enemy's attention will be attracted to Europe, and then our pressure can be reduced a lot."
“It’s really good that the Navy can come up with this strategy.” Tojo Hideki was not a fool. Naturally, he could see at a glance what the benefits of annihilating the Mediterranean Fleet were.
“No, Kimura-kun, you said so much to divert my attention from going to the 15th Army?”
Hyoutaro Kimura was not embarrassed when his true thoughts were revealed, and he readily admitted it immediately.
He really didn’t want to fill that hole.
Wouldn’t it be better to stay at the base camp?
There is no need to be afraid if you enjoy spicy food.
“Well, the Fifteenth Army currently only has the Fifty-fifth Division under its command. Counting the upcoming Fourth Division, it’s good to be able to maintain the situation in Myanmar.”
“Forget it, you should stay at the base camp.” Tojo thought for a while and decided not to send him there.
“As for your proposal, it’s really good. I’ll contact you to see if we can promote this cooperation.”
"Hai." Kimura Hyōtaro couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
…
On the other side, William sent the information he received back to the country.
Not long after, another telegram was sent from China, indicating that the information he provided was true.
When William saw the news, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect it to be true.
No wonder the German army has continued to fail.
Not only that, his superiors instructed him to get a complete list, no matter what the cost, he must get a complete list.
Because this is really important to the German army.
After reading the news, William felt that it was too scary, and then he remembered the list Cun Yunsheng had given him before.
The reason why I didn’t go back with the list was because I thought if it was false, I would be a sinner.
Hence he did not dare to send it back. After it was confirmed that the information was true, he immediately sent the list back.
In fact, during this time, the German army also suspected that there should be spies inside, otherwise the Allies would not be able to guess what they wanted to do every time.
It’s just that no one thought that their boss was a spy.
After seeing the list, the boss replied that he was preparing.
It means that things are not the problem, the main thing is the list.
When William saw Cun Yunsheng again, he was no longer as arrogant as before, but became much more respectful.
It is simply unbelievable that a spy who was not even found by their intelligence department was found by a small colonel.
"Dear Colonel, the things you need have been loaded out of the port. I believe it will arrive in Bangkok in half a month at most." William kept his posture very low this time and was no longer as arrogant as before.
Looking at the humble William, Cun Yunsheng instantly understood that the German army believed the list he gave.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng chuckled.
“It seems like you believe the list I provided?”
"Did you just realize that your intelligence network is a sieve, and there are Allied people everywhere." William did not refute Cun Yunsheng's sarcasm, because he knew he was wrong, so he still said it very respectfully.
“Please, Colonel, give me a complete list.”
“There is no problem with the list, but I don’t remember the complete list very clearly.” Cun Yunsheng knew very well that valuable things cannot be given away directly at once, otherwise they will have no use value.
Now it is the German army who is begging him. If there is really no use value, then it is he who is begging the German army.
The status of both parties is different.
At that time, it will be basically impossible for the German military to use submarines to transport equipment.
"We are willing to pay any price, and we can even provide certain weapons and equipment." William knew that these people like weapons and equipment, so he said directly.
Who would have known that Cun Yunsheng's most indispensable thing is weapons and equipment.
"I don't lack weapons and equipment. Behind me are the Allies. What I don't lack most is weapons and equipment." Cun Yunsheng said calmly.
“Then what do you want?” William looked very anxious. After all, this list was very important.
"It's still a batch of equipment, but this time the equipment will be larger. I'm afraid it will be difficult to transport it by submarine alone, and a cargo ship will be needed." Cun Yunsheng said.
It’s time to start building hydroelectric power plants. If such abundant water resources are not used, wouldn’t it be a waste?
Especially the hydropower resources in southwest Yunnan, if utilized well, the amount of hydropower generated will be beyond imagination.
He has long wanted to take advantage of these abundant water resources, but he lacked the equipment.
Now that the German army is coming to our door, we naturally cannot let him go.
Hearing that it would be transported by freighter, William's expression suddenly changed.
You must know that shipping is now basically controlled by the Allied fleets, and it is already difficult for them to obtain resources from the outside.
Can only rely on some neutral countries to obtain some scarce resources.
If you use large freighter transportation equipment like this, you will definitely be stranded.
Especially, we have to go around the Strait of Good Hope.
The risk is simply too great.
You can't rely on submarine escorts for such a long journey, right?
This is really nonsense.
"Dear Colonel, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to agree to your request. It's not that we don't have the equipment, but our current ports are blocked and we can't get out at all." William said helplessly.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was not surprised, but nodded calmly.
“Well, you’re right, this is indeed a trouble. Your navy has failed to live up to its expectations. You don’t even have an aircraft carrier now, and the only battleships you have have long been obsolete.”
Hearing this, William still did not refute, because what the other party said was the truth.
If only the navy had gained some traction earlier, it would have vigorously developed its submarine force.
“It’s just that you haven’t considered joint operations with the Japanese navy?” Cun Yunsheng looked at William and said somewhat unconvincingly.
"What do you mean?" William was confused and looked at the other party in confusion.
“Look at the map.” Cun Yunsheng picked up the baton and pointed at the Suez Canal.
"If I guessed correctly, your submarine force has arrived in the Indian Ocean, otherwise you would not have said that the equipment can be delivered in half a month."
"Don't deny it in a hurry. According to the time, we should be in this area at this time. In addition to transporting equipment, there is also an attack on the British merchant ships, right?"
“As I said before, your North African troops are preparing to launch the Battle of El Alamein, and the same British troops are aware of your plan.”
“So during this period, the British army has been continuously transporting supplies from Tianzhu to arrive here.”
“If your submarine force joins forces with the Japanese navy, there is still great hope that you can raid the British Mediterranean Fleet in Alexandria, and at the same time your army launches an attack to completely capture Alexandria.”
“Then the Suez Canal is in your hands. Even if your channel is completely opened, rubber and other scarce materials can be continuously transported here and back.”
I have to say that William was mesmerized by what Cun Yunsheng said.
If this is true, at least the German army can survive for another year or two.
As for the Allies, will they lose?
No!
Because of the . military’s ability to create terror, it will definitely win.
There are more than a hundred aircraft carriers. Although most of them are light ships, if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.
In terms of long-lasting output capability, the US military is absolutely well-deserved.
Because the steel production of the US military will soon reach its peak of more than 80 million tons.
Who can handle such horrific steel production?
However, it would be very good to allow the German army to delay for two more years and allow the . military to undergo blood transfusions for a few more years and take this opportunity to strengthen China's strength.
After all, if you don’t go to the dining table, you will become a dish on the dining table.
Although it sounds unpleasant, it is the reality.
William, on the other hand, kept thinking about the plan proposed by Cun Yunsheng and felt that he could still give it a try.
If they really hold the Suez Canal in their hands, their current situation will definitely be much better.
"Why are you helping us? Aren't you an ally? You are cheating the British army." William asked puzzledly.
"If I tell the British army this, your fate will definitely not be good, and the British army will never let you go."
Who knows, Cun Yunsheng was not worried at all, but said calmly.
“You can try, maybe, do you think the British army will believe this? Do they think a small colonel has the ability to control all this?”
“As for why I’m helping you? No, you’re overthinking it. I’m just helping ourselves.”
“This is the list of needs for next time, which includes steel plant equipment, hydroelectric power plant equipment, fertilizer plants, etc.”
“Don’t think it’s too much, because what I give will exceed the value.”
“I can understand all of this, so why do you need equipment from an aircraft manufacturer? And radar equipment and instruction manuals?”
"Are you capable of eating so much food? In other words, can the forces behind you be able to eat it?" William sneered.
“These are not things you can afford.”
"So, could you please send a few engineers over for guidance? I believe this shouldn't be a problem for you. After all, we have had friendly exchanges before, right?" Cun Yunsheng almost choked William to death with one sentence.
In fact, the list Cun Yunsheng prepared at the beginning was all about civilian things, but later the equipment from Leiyun Airport was moved.
He found that in addition to assembling aircraft, these workers were also trying to build their own fighter planes.
But we suffer from the lack of equipment and raw materials.
Cun Yunsheng has always remembered this incident.
There is also radar. The German army's radar technology is decimeter wave. Although he does not like it, it is still good for solidifying its own foundation.
After all, Chinese people are very good at innovating based on basics.
Maybe it will be possible to build a centimeter-wave radar.
What's more, using radar to attract students from Southwest Associated University is also one of his methods.
After all, let people do scientific research, how can we do it without providing equipment?
"We have to wait until the plan succeeds before we have any hope." William's meaning is obvious. If the plan fails, everything will be in vain.
“Don’t worry, I can afford to wait. Besides, as long as you cooperate sincerely, there is still great hope.”
“As long as your ally, the Italian army, isn’t such a scammer.” Cun Yunsheng’s light words silenced William again.
There will be more in the evening, try to update four times!
