War is such a reality and so cruel. War is a test of national strength, economy, national potential and even the overall comprehensive strength of the entire country.

Obviously, Annan cannot accept this test. Not only is Annan not a normal country now, even if Annan has already established a country, Nguyen Thuy Ong does not think that Annan is qualified to compete with such a powerful country as the coalition government.

The reason is very simple. Annan does not have such strength. A vast territory, a profound historical heritage and an unyielding will. These are what Annan lacks. At the same time, it is not something that a country can possess overnight.

"Qiang Jie, although I don't like it, but for the rise of Annan, I am willing to join hands with you..." Seeing the unyielding soldiers of the National Defense Forces fighting against the Japanese army, Ruan Qiu Weng was silent for a long time before he said to Qiang Jie.

"I believe you can also see that the National Defense Forces don't care what we think. For them, we are too weak. The only thing we rely on now is the two of us. Only when we unite can Annan have a future..."

Ruan Qiu Weng's words were inspired by the fact that Emperor Bao Dai did not resist much. Most of the time, he was just a puppet with peace of mind.

In other words, the National Defense Force prefers people like Bao Da. If such a person is in power in Annan, all he can do is live in a dream.

It is not Annan's blessing that such a person became the leader of Annan. If Annan wants to have a future, then she needs people who are willing to fight for her. Obviously, Baoda is not such a person.

"I'm willing to work with you, but what I need is for me to take the lead, not you." Qiang Jie is not unaware of this situation. Qiang Jie indeed has his own ambitions.

But Qiang Zhe never forgot his own wish, which was to make Annan a powerful country. And he chose to carry out this wish after seeing no hope in Baoda.

Qiang Jie once sank. He was also confused by power. But after he saw a powerful country, a big country shouting and fighting, the heart of a powerful country that had been far away from him returned to him again.

"To be honest, I don't agree with your proposition. In my opinion, this is too far-fetched." Qiangzhe looked at Ruan Qiuweng and said bluntly: "I prefer to believe that Europe and the United States, which have already succeeded, have implemented what they have implemented.

capitalism may be more suitable for Annan.”

Nguyen Thu Ong did not say anything. The Soviet Union did not rise as it did in history, which gave their organizations little confidence to talk about these things. After all, Europe and the United States, which implement capitalism, are indeed more successful examples.

In Asia, Japan, which was originally the most successful country in implementing capitalism, has now been replaced by China. The achievements achieved by the coalition government are difficult for other countries to copy.

In fact, when Nguyen Thu Ong was alone, he kept lamenting why there was no such figure as the Far Eastern Tiger in Annan?! If such a figure existed, perhaps Annan would have gotten rid of the embarrassing status of a colony and entered a powerful country.

of ranks.

But it is a pity that the Far Eastern Tiger has appeared in China. Therefore, China has now transformed from a colony and a paradise for great powers to a powerful force that even Europe and the United States need to pay attention to.

Under the leadership of the fierce tiger, they completed the basic national defense industry construction in the shortest time and the fastest way. They won victory in several of the most critical wars.

They are now standing on the huge stage of the world, and their dazzling light has even attracted the attention of Britain and the United States. Qiang Jie and others have already received the news that the Speaker of the British House of Lords resigned due to "inappropriate remarks".

Everyone knows what these so-called "inappropriate remarks" are. This is the speaker's desperate contact with the once-ephemeral Philippine government. After this government was wiped out, the speaker's political career came to an end.

He chose to resign to offset this huge diplomatic mistake. British Prime Minister Churchill is actively working and hopes to visit China. He needs to explain all this to the tiger in person.

"Boom boom...boom!!" The fighting in the sky continued. Countless fighter planes kept circling and fighting and then were tragically shot down. Among them, Gao Zhihang's fighter plane painted with red stars was the most dazzling.

When countless Wehrmacht war eagles see this fighter plane, they can't help but feel excited. This is the spirit of the Wehrmacht. All senior officers are fighting from the front line.

Even a staff officer was probably once the captain of a frontline suicide squad. It is these people who support the backbone of the entire National Defense Force. And this spiritual inheritance comes from the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force who rarely speaks now.

When he was a company commander, he led his troops to fight on the battlefield regardless of life and death. When he was a regiment commander, he still led his comrades in the battlefield without caring.

Even if he has become a military commander, or even a regiment commander, he is still like this. The Kwantung Army who shed blood in the Northeast, and the Japanese lying on the streets of Berlin Manor and Washington, USA, all proved this with their lives.

It is this spirit of the commander-in-chief that has shaped the current spirit of the National Defense Forces. They admire and love the strong. They believe that a strong person can lead an army and shape the army with his own spirit.

"We are going to be defeated..." Sugiyama Yuan was at the forward observation post, putting down the telescope in his hand in pain and trembling. The chief of staff beside him did not speak.

Because he could also see that the Third Air Force of the Japanese Army does not have an advantage now. Obviously, the Air Force of the National Defense Force still has certain advantages in combat skills and fighter performance.

These advantages caused huge losses to the Japanese army. The Army Air Forces had already suffered huge losses during this period of fighting. But all those dispatched this time were the last elite units of the Third Air Force.

Even the staff officers in the headquarters were forced to fly fighter jets to participate in the battle. Once defeated this time, it would mean that the entire Third Air Force would exist in name only.

"Order the troops and leave two divisions to garrison locally. The rest of the troops will withdraw with me to Samut Prakan. Prepare to withdraw all troops..." Sugiyama Gen sighed. It was obvious that the Japanese army had completely lost its advantage on the South Asian battlefield.

What should be done now is to maintain the military strength of the Southern Army as much as possible instead of confronting the National Defense Forces head-on on the battlefield.

"Could it be that...are we just giving up?!" Kuroda Shigenori, Chief of Staff of the Southern Army, tremblingly faced Sugiyama Gendao: "Marshal! I am not willing to give up..."

"I am also very unwilling, but there is no other way..." Sugiyama Gen sighed: "We have no choice now. Either we will be annihilated by the National Defense Forces in the process of consumption, or we will withdraw to other areas to ensure our strength.

After receiving air force supplies, restore combat effectiveness and continue fighting..."

Kuroda Shigenori didn't say much. He knew that this was the best choice now. If he did not retreat, the Southern Army would probably be completely annihilated.

Every Japanese soldier is well aware of the powerful combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces. Anyone can imagine the consequences if they continue to resist.

"Go and give the order. Only by living can we fight for the empire better. If we die now, then the last elite of the empire will be wasted on this battlefield..."

In fact, Sugiyama Gen was also very unwilling. He couldn't accept that China, which was once poor and weak, would give birth to such a powerful army. Japan experienced the Meiji Restoration, and even the struggles of subsequent generations of Japanese soldiers contributed to the development of Japan today.

prosper.

Why?! How could this country complete such a drastic change in just a few years?! Sugiyama Gen couldn't accept this fact, but at the same time he had to admit it.

Because he knew that countless Japanese generals died on the Chinese battlefield because they ignored this fact. Among them, including Juichi Terauchi, Shunroku Hata and other former famous Japanese generals.

They all fell on the battlefield in China.

After taking one last look at the Japanese fighter plane Sugiyama Moto, who had lost the ability to continue fighting and was being hunted by the National Defense Forces, he chose to leave. He couldn't bear to watch any more.

At this time, the air battle over Thanh Hoa had already been decided. The Japanese Navy continued to dispatch fighter planes, but it did not change the overall situation of the war.

Although the losses were huge, the Japanese army had achieved their strategic goal. They successfully covered most of Yamashita Fengwen's troops to Thanh Hoa Port.

They were transferred to the transport fleet by a small boat. Although the fighter planes of the National Defense Force temporarily prevented the Japanese attack, they did not have more fuel and combat power to prevent the Japanese from transporting troops onto the ship.

"This is the only way. The Air Force has tried its best..." Seeing Yamashita Fengfumi's troops boarding the warship one after another, Long Shengzu could only sigh.

The air force had not gained an advantage. If he attacked rashly, he would only be exposed to the firepower of the Japanese army and navy. In this case, he could only choose to remain silent.

Watching Yamashita Fengfumi's troops board warships one after another and evacuate.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I am extremely grateful for your support for this operation! Thank you very much!" After boarding the warship, the first thing Yamashita Tomofumi did was to ask to see the Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku.

Yamamoto Isoroku met him. As the strongest general in the army, Yamamoto Isoroku admired this general who used blitz warfare to the extreme.

"Yamashita, you're welcome. I admire your performance in the Malayan Campaign very much. Although you are in the Army, this does not hinder my appreciation of an excellent soldier."

Saying that, Yamamoto Isoroku paused and said: "But I hope you remember that our war is not because of you personally or the army. The reason why we go to war is for the empire."

"The current situation cannot allow the empire's power to continue to be consumed by the internal friction between the navy and the army. If this continues, only failure awaits the empire. For the sake of victory, I will do my best to assist you."

Saying that, Yamamoto suddenly stood up and looked at Yamashita Fengfumi and said extremely seriously: "But I also hope that you can do your duty and win the battle on land for the empire!"

"I dare not say that we will definitely win. Yamashita can only promise to do his best!" Yamashita Fongfumi bowed deeply to Yamamoto Isoroku and said: "Yamashita Fongfumi swears that if there is no victory, he will be killed on the battlefield!"

At this time, Manila.

Jason looked at the intelligence with great concern. The intelligence coming from Annan showed that a large part of the Japanese troops had been successfully picked up by the navy. In other words, these Japanese troops would appear on the battlefield in the Philippines soon.

"According to our information, at least more than 50,000 Japanese army troops will participate in the battle. And their commander is Yamashita Tomofumi, who once commanded the Malayan Campaign. In other words, what we are facing is an experience

Having fought many wars, the Malayan Tigers have become more mature."

Jensen did not hide anything. He said to the officers at all levels of the current Nanyang Military Division: "We will face an extremely difficult war. There is no doubt that the support we receive in this battle is limited. It may even be possible.

He said there is no support. Everything must rely on our own Nanyang Military Division."

"The General Headquarters has called. The Southeast Asian Theater cannot take care of us until they achieve complete victory. And even if the Southeast Asian Theater achieves victory, they will not be able to provide effective support to us without the assistance of a powerful navy..."

Everyone was silent. Now the Nanyang Military Division has more than 13,000 veterans of the National Defense Forces. These are the elites of the National Defense Forces, but at that time they did not receive much heavy weapons support in order to keep the operation secret.

In other words, they are now extremely lacking in large-caliber artillery. This is extremely fatal to combat troops, especially those facing landing operations.

The Japanese fleet is supported by large-caliber naval guns, and the caliber of their smallest naval guns exceeds that of the smallest. In this case, the Nanyang Military Division of the National Defense Forces did not have heavy artillery defense.

"Hehehe... The battlefield in Jinan back then was much more difficult than this. It's not like we haven't fought before, aren't we just Xiaojiazi?! No matter how awesome they are, they can still make people fly down from the sky with cannonballs.

?!"

The speaker was Tu Shaohua. He was one of the few officers who followed Tu Menghu from the battlefield in Jinan and is still the regiment leader.

Because this kid really doesn't have the talent to become a commander, his greatest achievement is to be the commander of a regiment. No matter how many troops there are, he will come over to the headquarters.

But because this veteran who is less than thirty years old but has incomparable qualifications, Jason does not dare to neglect.

"Old Tu, after all, these naughty men should not be underestimated. Yamashita Fengwen conquered Malaya in the first battle, and more than 100,000 British troops were captured. This even affected the subsequent Indian war..."

Jason looked at Tu Shaohua and said, "So, we need to pay enough attention to this person."

"Commander, I know. Let me just say this. I will never take this matter lightly!" Tu Shaohua saw that Jason was so serious. His expression also became serious.

"What I want to say is, even if he has three heads and six arms, we still have the sword to kill him. The Malayan Tiger?! Huh, except for our commander, I don't think anyone has the qualifications to call him a 'tiger'!"

Since the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Force Tu Menghu was called the "Tiger of the Far East", the entire National Defense Force felt that this "tiger" character should naturally belong to their Commander-in-Chief.

Suddenly I heard that a tall Japanese guy was called "Tiger". Although everyone didn't say it, there was anger in their hearts. Why do you call him "Tiger"?! Calling a cat or a dog is more like calling him "Tiger"?! Do you deserve it?

?!

"Break his dog teeth and break his dog claws. I want to see what he calls a tiger!" Tu Shaohua snorted coldly: "The knife is worn out and the enemy is coming. How can you not be happy?

!”

Tu Shaohua's words actually made the generals present relax a lot. Everyone smiled slightly and their tense hearts felt relieved. Indeed, aren't they just a bunch of Japanese naughties?!

In the land of Northeast China, in North Korea and in China, how many people did we kill? Even if we have more powerful equipment, in the end, we are just like chickens and dogs.

Can they still fly into the sky?!

At this time, Jensen briefly understood the reason why Tu Shaohua did what he did. If the Japanese soldiers were approaching the border and he was in panic all day long as the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Military Division, how could the people below not be worried?!

On the one hand, Tu Shaohua was comforting himself, and on the other hand, he was also reassuring himself about the military.

"What Lao Tu is saying is that in the final analysis, these gangsters are just gangsters. They can still fly into the sky?! Even if they fly up, we can pull these gangsters down by pulling on them!"

"Hahaha..." The relaxed tone of the commander-in-chief reassured everyone. After all, he is the commander-in-chief now. If he has no confidence in the battle, let alone the officers below.

"Let the people from the local intelligence office help us continue recruiting troops and strengthen training! At that time, we can abandon the coastal positions first and wait for the Japanese troops to land before launching a surprise attack!"

This was a strategy previously formulated by the staff. After all, the Japanese army had the support of large-caliber naval guns. If a position was set up directly on the coastline, it would undoubtedly only become a target for the Japanese large-caliber naval guns.

Johnson would not do such a stupid thing. What he set up on the beach was a position. The purpose was to attract the Japanese naval gun fire. When the Japanese army landed for operations, the troops of the Nanyang Military Division would go to those fake positions from the rear.

As long as the troops of both sides are strangled together, the Japanese naval guns will lose their power. Only at this time can the National Defense Forces take advantage of the battlefield.

Of course, this arrangement is not without loopholes. If the National Defense Forces cannot withstand the Japanese attack, then the Japanese army is likely to choose to use large-caliber naval guns to bombard the rear positions while constantly replenishing troops to occupy the forward positions.

Once the Japanese army gains a foothold on the tidal flats, the Philippines, which already lacks military strength, will be in danger...
