Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

next day!

Dragon Boat Festival looked in the mirror and arranged his clothes.

This time he was wearing a military uniform, because today the American officer corps would arrive in the mountain city.

He will not go to the reception. He will attend the research meeting of the officer corps.

The so-called research meeting was actually a discussion between them and the American military advisory group stationed in the mountain city about China's chances of winning this Sino-Japanese war. What's more, what's more, if China's defeat would be great for their interests in Asia, losses, etc.

Therefore, they are not concerned about China's current situation or its future situation after defeat. The most they can say is: we are sorry and we sympathize, but we have nothing to do and so on.

Therefore, it is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. No matter how powerful your allies are, but you are not strong enough, you will only end up being abandoned in the end.

Dragon Boat Festival got dressed and looked at his watch. It was around eight o'clock in the morning and he still had some time. He needed to go to the Office of Economic Development to take care of some things first. Meet August.

August is the representative of Watt Company. Because German weapons are coming, he should come here this time to ask if the Dragon Boat Festival money is ready.

But naturally you can't say it directly, otherwise the emotional intelligence will be too low. And just saying it over the phone is a bit too rude.

So August made an appointment to visit Duanwu’s office earlier in the day.

When Duanwu entered the office, August was already waiting in Duanwu's office, and Wei Qin made him a cup of tea.

August was naturally not in the mood to drink tea. He was just waiting for the exact news of the Dragon Boat Festival, because Watt Company had already prepared a brigade of weapons and equipment and was ready to take off at any time.

The reason why the plane has not taken off yet is because Duanwu only paid a deposit of US$400,000.

This is a brigade of weapons and equipment. When it arrives in China, the people from Watt Company on the plane will take the check back.

So August was also worried. After all, he had inquired before and heard that the Ministry of Finance had no money to allocate funds. If the money is not available, he will not be able to account for it from the company.

When Dragon Boat Festival saw August's uneasy look, he knew that this old boy was worried about money.

Duanwu directly asked Wei Qin to take out the check, waved it in front of August and said: "Let your people come as soon as possible, let alone the weapons and equipment of your three divisions, even if three more divisions come, I can Swallow it."

After that, Duanwu directly asked Wei Qin to show August the check. August was also very surprised when he saw the check. He didn't expect it to be a check for half a million US dollars, and it was also accepted internationally. As long as you hold this check, you can withdraw money even from a bank in Germany.

August was completely relieved. After returning the check to Wei Qin, he said: "The weapons matter will arrive in the next two days, and it won't delay your affairs!"

After that, August took his leave and left. At this moment, Dragon Boat Festival's phone rang. It was Brooke, saying that the officer corps had arrived and was already at the First Theater Command.

Duanwu said he would be there soon, and then took Wei Qin and two others, escorted by Zhou Bao, to the First Theater Command to meet the American officer corps. Yes, when Zhou Bao came back, he had successfully completed the mission and delivered the weapons and equipment directly to the hands of the 87th Division.

So today, Zhou Bao led people to protect Dragon Boat Festival and went to the first theater headquarters.

Zhou Bao reported the status of the mission to Duanwu while driving. We didn't encounter any dangers on the road, even some forces near the mountain city were quite law-abiding.

Regarding this point, Dragon Boat Festival is still very relieved. Because after all, the 11th Division is holding down the formation here, and no one dares to be presumptuous.

But Duanwu still reminded Zhou Bao not to take it lightly, because next time, they might not be escorting the weapons and equipment of a regiment but a brigade.

This is such a huge fortune, and its allure to people is simply unimaginable.

Therefore, Duanwu is really worried that it is not these local forces that are coming to rob, but a certain army.

Duanwu even thought that he should give each unit a briefing and tell them that all units have weapons and equipment, and there is no need to rush.

Thinking of this, Duanwu has already made a decision to purchase a batch of weapons and equipment from Germany.

·············

At the same time, within the headquarters of the First Theater Command, the U.S. military advisory group headed by Philip was having a heated debate with the newly arrived officer corps. The center of the debate is naturally whether China deserves assistance, and whether they should immediately change their stance and help the Japanese occupy China to maximize their own interests.

Alex, a 28-year-old U.S. Marine Corps colonel, was the first to speak: “Our U.S. military advisory team has been in China for several months, but has repeatedly failed on the Chinese battlefield.

I don't doubt your command ability, I doubt the combat ability of Chinese soldiers. In my opinion, they are just a bunch of stragglers. Even if their command is impeccable, they will only lose the battle along the way.

On the contrary, looking at Japan, they did not have the support of our military advisory group, but they successively occupied Northeast China, North China, Central China, and now even Nanjing.

So from a strategic perspective, China has been completely defeated. I think everyone here should be very clear about this. "

At this time, before Alex finished speaking, another young officer also stood up.

He was a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps, named Hayden. He is also not optimistic about the war between China and Japan. So he said: "Alex is right, China does not have a complete training program, nor a complete weapons system. Wanting to win the war between China and Japan is simply a daydream.

And sending our advanced weapons and equipment here is simply a waste of resources. Do these rubes like them know how to use it? And even if they know how to use it, do they use it well? And even if they use it well, what about the subsequent ammunition? Should they run out of ammunition and throw all their guns on the battlefield to the Japanese?

And if this is the case, then we might as well give these weapons and equipment to the Japanese directly and obtain greater benefits.

Let me remind you again that we are not philanthropists and have no obligation to save all mankind. We are simply maximizing the interests of the United States of America. "

At this moment, Alex said again: "Hayden is right. Instead of focusing all our energy on China, we should cooperate with Japan and strategically carve up China. Only in this way can we maximize the interests of the United States of America. ."

Having said this, Alex looked around and said, "I wonder if you think what I said is right?"
