Chapter 888 Those Japanese
Li Xianglong... no, we should call him Tanaka Nosuke now. Tanaka Nosuke's current identity is a Japanese expatriate living in the Philippines. His ancestral home is Kyushu Bunzen, Japan. He speaks fluent Japanese with a Kyushu accent and can describe various places in Kyushu.
Scenery everywhere.
From time to time, this Japanese overseas Chinese would sing nursery rhymes from Kyushu while drinking. Tears would flow down his face while singing.
It can be said that he took great pains to drive nails everywhere. On the one hand, he used research to find a suitable name and appearance, and then trained his people to adapt to this role.
At the same time, being loyal to those who go there is also a great test of psychological quality. Tanaka Nosuke undoubtedly passed these tests, otherwise he would not be favored by Masaharu Honma as the head of the "Empire of Japan Philippine Copper Mining Company"
One of the supervisors.
The reason why he was favored by Masaharu Honma was not only because he was Japanese, but also because he was familiar with the Philippines. He was able to recruit enough people to dig out the copper mines that were extremely important to Japan.
"Congratulations, General! His Majesty the Emperor has appointed you as the commander of the 'Imperial Philippine Expeditionary Force'. This is undoubtedly a supreme honor! I would like to wish the general a prosperous military career and great achievements!"
"Hahaha...Tanaka! You are really good at talking and doing things!" Masaharu Honma is obviously very happy. His current military rank is already a general. And his identity has been changed from the commander of the front army to the commander of the dispatch army.
Greater authority and higher status.
Masaharu Honma is 1.8 meters tall, tall and looks elegant. He studied at Oxford University in England and likes painting and writing poetry. He is very famous among the Japanese army, so he is known as the "Poet General".
"Tanaka. I have received news from the base camp. They hope that we can produce output from the mine as soon as possible. The empire now needs a large amount of minerals to support our plan to conquer Asia and the world! And as long as you do it, I will give it to you.
If you do something, then you will also be greatly rewarded by the empire!"
Masaharu Honma seems to have seen a bright future waving to her. Isn't it just mining those ores! Isn't this a very simple thing?! If these things are done well, then in the future, she may even be able to touch the position of marshal.
"Hai! Don't worry, General, Tanaka will definitely devote himself to the empire and die!" Tanaka Nosuke was obviously very excited and shouted to Masaharu Honma: "General, please escort those prisoners over! I will go now.
Prepare for mining. If you want to send more ore to the empire, you need more manpower!"
Masaharu Honma nodded in agreement, walked over and patted Tanaka Nosuke on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Tanaka, you can rest assured about manpower! We will provide you with enough manpower. What I want is those ores. Now the empire needs these resources
, the more merit you can provide, the greater it will be! Do you understand?!”
"Hai!!"
The same scene was also happening in Singapore, but this time the name of the person in front of Yamashita Fengfumi was Shimazaki Naru. He responded loudly and promised that he would provide a large amount of resources to the empire.
Of course, the premise is that Yamashita Fengfumi needs to ensure that the manpower is absolutely sufficient. Yamashita Fengfumi, who has tens of thousands of prisoners in hand, does not care about this, and he cannot care.
Now Japan's scarcity of supplies has reached the point of exhaustion. Everyone knows that without supplies, the whole of Japan may collapse.
"Shimazaki! Do a good job. As long as you complete the task, I will ask for credit from the base camp for you!"
"Hai!!" Shimazaki slowly exited Yamashita Fengfumi's headquarters in excitement. No one noticed a strange smile hanging on his lips.
Bits and pieces of intelligence flowed softly and quickly to the Imperial Capital along with the radio waves. A large group of people in the telecommunications room here were constantly busy. From time to time, someone would send these translated telegrams to the General Staff Headquarters next door.
There is a huge map and a large number of sand tables, which are densely covered with flags. Dozens of staff officers with the rank of major, lieutenant colonel and even colonel are sweating like rain, constantly simulating something in this stuffy house.
Now this place is mainly managed by Su Zongzhe, and Commander-in-Chief Tu Mengben has left here to go to Jia Xiaohou's scientific research institute to closely follow the development progress of new fighter jets with them.
Now this is the top priority of the National Defense Forces. If this fighter is successfully developed, it will be a qualitative leap for the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces. A large amount of steel and aluminum will be used elsewhere. The National Defense Forces will save because of the
The cost is huge.
In the machine repair room of the R&D institute, Shen Hong, with red eyes, constantly compared the design drawings and directed the workers to modify a Tiger Moth. Cannons, rocket launchers, machine guns, bomb bins...etc. were a mess.
There are several such Steller Moths undergoing modifications at the site. They are testing how to modify the Steller Moth to maximize its effectiveness while ensuring its flexibility.
Jia Xiaohou is now in the office constantly discussing modifications to the design drawings with the engineers. Empty aircraft and adding weapons are different concepts. The control of the aircraft and the laying of lines need to be taken into consideration.
Weapons laying, communication equipment, ammunition quantity... and a series of other issues must be taken into consideration. The most serious thing is that the Steller Moth is a wooden aircraft. If you are not careful, it may cause it to fly in the air due to problems with the weapons.
Just burn.
A few hours later, various plans were formulated one after another. Jia Xiaohou leaned on the chair tiredly. After all, he was no longer young. Doing this day and night, his body simply couldn't bear it.
"Mr. Baoshu, you should rest for a while..." Looking at Jia Xiaohou's tired appearance, Tu Mengben couldn't bear it and comforted him softly. Jia Xiaohou shook his head and raised his dull eyes.
He looked at the commander-in-chief.
"If we rest here, the soldiers on the front line will bleed more. I, Jia Baoshu, can't do this kind of thing..." Jia Xiaohou stood up, cleaned up the messy blueprints on the table, and walked out.
"We must find the best plan as soon as possible to provide the soldiers with the best weapons." Jia Xiaohou held the design drawings in his arms and said firmly to Tu Mengben: "This is the only thing I can do for you.
What the soldiers did is also what those of us doing scientific research should do."
Tu Mengben looked at Jia Xiaohou's back with complicated emotions and remained silent for a long time. In the end, all his thoughts could only turn into a doctor's sigh.
Tu San Pao Pao Ye has been having a very boring time in the United States recently. Without his knives and leaving the army, San Pao feels he has nothing to do. Colt warmly invited him to go hunting several times.
But when the old man felt that Lei Mingden's hunting was unskilled and unsatisfying, he roared and stabbed a black bear with his red-tasseled spear with a white wax pole. After that, Colt, who was in a mess in the wind, decided not to take this old man hunting again.
The game he played was so exciting that even Colt, who loved excitement, felt frightened. But Master Sanpao didn't care. He stabbed the gun very accurately. He stabbed it directly through the eye and messed up his brain. He killed the black bear but nothing happened.
Injury to other fur.
Then he directly skinned the bear and made it into a bearskin coat and gave it to Situ Meitang, who was getting older. He was very happy. He had a bearskin coat, but it was rare to find such a complete one.
Mrs. Song's fate was not as good as that of the Third Artillery Master. After Churchill's special envoy came to Washington, Roosevelt led the three parties to start collaborative talks.
This kind of negotiation has always been extremely difficult, and this was the first time Mrs. Song had experienced such a difficult negotiation. The British side arrogantly asked the National Defense Forces to send troops to rescue the British and Australian prisoners of war trapped in Singapore.
At the same time, the National Defense Force is required to send troops to ensure the security of India and open up the road from Myanmar to India. These Mrs. Song must not agree directly. Why should I save you, the British, in vain?!
Roosevelt did not make any excessive demands, but he also hoped that the National Defense Force could delay Japan from allowing them to attack Australia. At the same time, he also hoped that the captured Allied soldiers would be rescued as much as possible.
"Your Excellency, we can try to rescue those soldiers. But not now." Mrs. Song did not refuse flatly, but said tactfully: "There are still a large number of Japanese troops entrenched in our country. We need to clear them out first.
Only then can you free up your hands to deal with other things..."
"Mrs. Song! Don't think we don't know that you still have a large number of remaining troops!" The British envoy was obviously very angry at Mrs. Song's answer and loudly responded: "You have sent a legion of troops to Tibetan areas.
, do you think we don’t know?!”
"Mr. Special Envoy, what I want to tell you is: first of all, this is our country's domestic affairs! Tibetan areas belong to our country, and some of your actions there can be treated as if they did not happen." Mrs. Song took a deep breath:
"But please don't think we don't know anything!"
"I reiterate once again, before we completely dismantle the Japanese troops in China, it is impossible for the National Defense Forces to launch a large-scale war against the Japanese troops in other areas." Mrs. Song still maintained her smile, but her tone was so determined: "Only if
After we deal with those Japanese troops, we will have enough energy to do other things."
"As for those captured Allied soldiers, we will try our best to rescue them. In order to show our sincerity, we will first rescue some captured generals." Mrs. Song looked at Roosevelt and said softly: "Mr. President, I hope you can understand us.
Difficulty. Now we are in the stage of a decisive battle with the Japanese army in China, and it is impossible to draw out our troops."
"Madam, how long will it take you to complete your plan?!" Roosevelt still hoped that the National Defense Forces could be mobilized to fight in Southeast Asia: "We need you to make contributions in the Southeast Asian theater. After all, you are the most powerful force there.
"
"I will call our chairman and commander-in-chief to inquire." Mrs. Song was silent for a while and said to Roosevelt: "Only they can guarantee this matter."
