Basically, Tu Menghu would not speak much in such a meeting, but once he did, things were almost settled...at least in general it would not deviate from his expectations.

This is what Yan Zhengqing taught him in private: Do not talk too much about government affairs. Important matters must be finalized. If you do this several times, even if he does not personally take care of basic government affairs, his political prestige will not be reduced.

Although Tu Menghu didn't like this very much, he knew that it was related to the relationship between the United Government and the National Defense Force. If he was completely separated from politics for too long, then some people might not have some inappropriate thoughts.

Civil servants have always been selfish and eager to have everything in their hands. If you show weakness, these people are like sharks that smell blood. They will gradually test your bottom line and eventually open their bloody mouths to try to devour you.

The coalition government will not have such a problem for the time being, but it is necessary to maintain Tu Menghu’s right to speak in the coalition government. Such benefits have also emerged. At least Tu Menghu does not interfere much in government affairs, but he has a strong voice in the coalition government.

The prestige in the ax remains undiminished.

"Meng Ben is right. Since we are going to trade, we will naturally find the one with the highest price." Lin Sen smiled and said: "We are all taking risks. In fact, after we carefully calculated, the risks of both parties are actually about the same."

"In this case, we will naturally choose the one with the higher price."

Both Tu Menghu and Lin Sen agreed with this matter, and they would swallow whatever opinions others had. Yan Zhengqing spoke at this time, but saw him smiling.

"Of course, we won't announce our cooperation with the Americans right now..." Seeing everyone's eyes turning to him, Yan Zhengqing said calmly: "What's the price... We need to know the bottom line of the allies, without touching the bottom line.

Let’s do our best to benefit ourselves..."

"We have been away from the center stage of the world for too long. What we need now is to catch up faster. Otherwise, every step is slow and every step is slow. We don't have time to wait any longer..." Yan Zhengqing pushed up his glasses and said solemnly

: "If they don't take advantage of the war and they don't have time to pay attention to us, then there is no doubt that the Western world will join forces to block us after the war..."

"They know better than anyone else what a glorious history our ancestors have created. As long as China stabilizes, its development will definitely exceed their expectations. In order not to harm their own interests, these white people will do anything...

"

Everyone was silent. How could they not know that this was what they had personally experienced?! In order to prevent the unification of China, these people secretly supported the warlords from all sides in the melee.

In the past, in order to smooth out the huge trade deficit, these white people did not hesitate to launch a war to dump opium into China. Now they have to win over the coalition government, and this is why they have offered such good conditions.

But once the war ends, China is likely to face encirclement and suppression by all parties. They will try their best to block all roads to China's development and prevent the rise of China from taking their place.

"Zhichang, what's your opinion?!" Lin Sen asked Yan Zhengqing directly. Yan Zhengqing was not polite and said with a smile: "First of all, we must stabilize the allies, secretly saying that Germany's conditions seem to be good.

.However, Meng Ben still prefers the allies, but there are great internal debates."

"Secondly, we also need to stabilize the Germans. We reveal the key conditions agreed by several allies, and then tell them that the chairman is actually more inclined to the Axis powers. But Japan is a huge problem, and there are no internal opinions on Japan.

Not unified…”

Lin Sen smiled. Yan Zhengqing, an old fox, obviously wanted to force both parties to increase the price. But both parties still had to accept this price increase. There was no other way. Now the Chinese National Defense Force is already a decisive force.

There are more than two million troops who have experienced actual combat, more than a thousand of the best tanks currently available, and more than two thousand fighters, bombers and transport aircraft. There are also abundant resources in the country and a population of hundreds of millions.

It can be said that even if the war lasts for five or six years, the National Defense Forces will be able to fully support it.

"Ling Ge, you are responsible for the Germans. Zhichang, you continue to deal with the Americans. Try your best to gain benefits for us, especially the opening up of those machines and technologies. These are the most important."

Lin Sen paused, took the notebooks that included Industry Minister Fan Xudong, and Chief Engineer Jia Xiaohou, looked at them and said: "At this time, we must cultivate our own talent system as quickly as possible. Otherwise, once

It will be troublesome for these white people to block us after the war..."

Yan Zhengqing nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood. Then Lin Sen and others discussed some details, and the meeting dispersed.

Negotiations between the Wehrmacht, the Axis Powers, and the Allies continued, and the war in the Soviet Union never stopped. Finally, after receiving support from Japan, Ishihara Kanji immediately launched a strong attack on the Soviet army.

This time their attack went very smoothly. Since Germany had already seized 200 kilometers of Soviet territory, the Soviet army was forced to gather a large number of troops on the Moscow front to prepare to prevent the German army from invading Moscow.

The Japanese army on Ishihara Wanji's side was simply ignored. The front line had been lost, and even if they continued to defend, they would just be caught between the Japanese and German forces.

Therefore, except for leaving a small group of troops to pretend, the rest of the main force of the Soviet Union had already withdrawn from the position. Even the small group of troops chose to withdraw when the Japanese army attacked. They spread out and began to conduct guerrilla warfare against the Japanese army.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, at least we have accomplished part of our strategic goals now. This is better than accomplishing nothing at all, right?!" The Chief of Staff saw Ishihara Wan'er's gloomy face and couldn't help but console him.

"Even if the losses are larger, after all, we have occupied all the Soviet positions..."

"You don't understand..." Ishihara Wanji interrupted his chief of staff and said, "Almost all of our elite troops in this attack were drawn from the elite troops of the Southern Army."

"In order to maintain the strength advantage of the Southern Army on the Weijiang front, it also mobilized a large number of imperial troops from the Philippines, Luzon and other places to support. This has resulted in the entire Philippines now having imperial troops stationed [***]

The team is just comparable to two large teams..."

Ishihara smiled bitterly and said: "The Filipinos are no longer of the same mind as us. Ever since hundreds of thousands of Filipinos went back and forth on the Chinese battlefield, they have begun to have second thoughts..."

"It's because of the pressure from our troops that they don't dare to act recklessly. But without the pressure from our troops, I'm worried that they may not make any moves..."

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think you are overly worried about this." The Chief of Staff smiled and said, "They have already organized troops to go to China to assist us in clearing up those allied [***] troops.

They have defected to the British and American sides. If they turn against us now, there will be no one left to take them in..."

Ishihara sneered and said, "Do you think those Southeast Asian monkeys would consider so many people?!"

"This..." The chief of staff hesitated, not knowing what to say. Ishihara smiled and stood up, looked at the busy Japanese army on the battlefield, and said in a deep voice: "These monkeys in Southeast Asia are a group of unknown people.

Civilized savages. If they could have a long-term plan, they would not remain a colony over and over again without any autonomy."

"Without history and experience, they are destined to only see immediate benefits. Even if someone sees long-term benefits, those monkeys will be dissatisfied because of their current efforts."

"The biggest reason why we were able to encourage them to support our activities at that time was that they could not see that they would be liquidated once the war was over..."

The chief of staff did not speak. As a high-ranking member of the Japanese army, he knew that what Ishihara Kanji said was the truth. Japan had never planned to make Southeast Asia more readable. Their idea was to turn Southeast Asia into its own colony.

What kind of independent reading ability?! Have you not noticed that the Japanese forces that are constantly penetrating into Southeast Asia are constantly taking over all aspects of the capital of these original Southeast Asians?!

Various companies can be seen in agriculture, construction, mineral mining, etc. In the future, even if the Japanese cabinet wants to pass the law in these areas, the companies that have already taken root in the local areas will not

promise.

Besides, these companies all have an inexplicable relationship with the Army and Navy. Some of them even have shares in the Army and Navy. To put it simply, these companies are working with the Army and Navy to make money in Southeast Asia.

"Your Excellency, then should we send a telegram to warn Marshal Sugiyama?!" The chief of staff thought that once chaos breaks out in Southeast Asia, Japan's resource sources will inevitably be affected. Thinking of this, the chief of staff couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

falling down.

"Even if I say it, it won't be of any use..." Ishihara Wanji sighed: "Marshal Sugiyama has now given up, and his troops supported by the empire are completely insufficient to support him in maintaining the strength advantage over the National Defense Forces.

…”

"If he wants to prevent the National Defense Force from crossing the river, then he needs a large number of veterans to support his front. In fact, Marshal Sugiyama can't see the crisis in the Philippines and other places?! But he can't choose..."

Gen Sugiyama really has no choice. In fact, he has already sensed the crisis in Southeast Asia. Now he wakes up from nightmares every night. The resources of the Philippines and other places have become the lifeblood of Japan.

Once something goes wrong there, there is no doubt that Sugiyama Moto will be taken out as the scapegoat and take the blame...

"The next batch of troops, as soon as the next batch of troops arrive, I will let them go to various places to replenish troops..." Sugiyama Moto, whose eyes were swollen like peaches, murmured to himself tiredly in his bedroom: "But
