Chapter 591 Is it really that cowardly?
Chen Cheng immediately called the staff officer beside him.
The 66th Army had strong combat power and strict military discipline, which aroused his great interest. When he came here today, he still wanted to get close to the officers and soldiers of the 66th Army.
They all fought against the Japanese on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, and they met in the mountains and rivers, so I really want to see each other in the future.
"Brothers of Sichuan Army, I will say hello to the Military Commission for seizing military supplies. The brothers in the Seventh War Zone are all brothers with outstanding achievements and deserve the best supply!"
Zhou Xiaoshan grinned and said, no one would say anything he could speak.
Although Chen Cheng has a high status in the Military Commission, he may not be able to manage military supplies, transportation, and transportation in Yichang.
This thing is best to be self-reliant on the front line.
Zhou Xiaoshan had already ordered the transportation of materials to Wuhan to transfer trains and supplies, and to buy some peppers in Wuhan and send them to the front line.
Taihu Lake is a hometown of fish and rice, with a wide range of rivers. In addition to Taihu Lake, it also produces many fish. The recruits recruited locally were also very good at fishing.
The soldiers who were learning to make ground cages from Zhou Xiaoshan were some of the soldiers who were looking for food from nearby.
There are loaches and eels in the fields, and occasionally you can meet turtles. As long as there is enough chili and oil and salt, the Sichuan Army will not short of food.
What's more, the loach tofu soup, turtle soup, and Taihu recruits made in the kitchen these two days are difficult to put on chopsticks, and the old brothers of the Sichuan Army have eaten well.
Just missed the pepper.
Watching Zhou Xiaoshan walk to this abandoned ancestral hall, whether it is the three rows of direct subordinates on one side, the staff officer who has been placing sand tables for two days with Chen Cheng, and the guards of the guard regiment, they all greeted Zhou Xiaoshan and asked him to go there.
At this moment, Liu Xiang also came, and there were a large group of people including Feng Tiankui, Pan Wenhua, Guo Xunqi, Fan Shaozeng, Zhao Peishi, etc.
"Damn it, after a month of raising it, my stomach problem finally got better. I finally could eat some chili. I have eaten all the rabbit meat and canned chicken. Not to mention the chili peppers, I didn't even leave some Pixian bean past. I won't leave some for me. Mussels one month after another, this day is over!"
Poor Commander-in-Chief Liu, he had no hope of eating.
"Master, did you send a telegram to the Military Commission that batch of canned food in Yichang?"
"I sent a telegram to the Chongqing Machinery Repair Office. If the seized cans are not transported to us, I will stop the Central Army's ordnance! Anyway, the ships transported have been requisitioned by the State Government. Now I just need things. When will the cans arrive in Wuhu and when will the Central Army transport the weapons?"
The supply on the front line was detained, causing an uproar among the Sichuan army.
Chen Cheng, who was listening, smiled bitterly and shook his head. The Germans had finished the weapons and the Soviets had not yet received the loan. It was just when the Qinghuang was not accepted. Liu Xiang could do this trick, which was enough to take the lives of those people from the Military Control Commission.
The Central Army took over the defense of the machinery repair office on the surface, but the one who made the decision in the factory was still Jewish. Besides, Liu Xiang also issued an order to the factory director that he could mobilize the division stationed in the suburbs of Chongqing, at any time.
This is Liu Xiang's backup plan, which is worthy of his reputation and fear of the Central Army bullying the Sichuan Army.
After the battle of Songhu, the Japanese not only bombed Nanjing, but also organized bombings along the Yangtze River, including Wuhan, Wuhu, and surrounding areas such as Tu County in Yangzhou.
This month alone, several freighters and passenger ships were also blown up by the Japanese army.
Now that I have nothing to do, I have to help the Sichuan Army transport this batch of canned military supplies.
I don’t know what those people from the Military Control Commission do for food. There are so many factories moving westward, and the organization is a mess. Many factories either lack electricity, raw materials, or conflicts with locals, etc., etc., and there is no higher efficiency in the factory that Liu Xiang organized the westward migration in Sichuan.
"Mr. Fu, don't be angry. I understand the situation in the Seventh War Zone. I have someone sent a telegram to the Military Commission! I have someone to send the supplies as soon as possible!"
Chen Cheng watched Liu Xiang come in and couldn't sit still at the table, so he brought two officers to Liu Xiang's side.
"Oh, Cixiu, you said that hundreds of thousands of soldiers were sacrificed in this Anti-Japanese War, and the Japanese all fought to the capital. Since September 18th, they have been fighting for more than four years, but now they have not officially declared war on Japan. Are our country and nation really that coward?"
Declaring war is a sensitive issue.
The Republic of China lost so many provinces in a row and did not declare war, which only means that it has no backbone. That country in the world looks down on the Chinese.
Suddenly hearing Liu Xiang's question, Zhou Xiaoshan was very curious about what answer would appear in Chen Cheng's mouth.
China and Japan have not declared war from September 18th to July 7th Incident.
It was not until after the outbreak of the Pacific War that Pearl Harbor was attacked, and Lin Sen, as the head of state, published a letter of declaration of war against Germany, Italy and Japan.
In history, three answers have emerged.
The first is that he is afraid that he cannot defeat him. Once he is defeated, he will take responsibility and cede land and pay compensation, and he will lose more sovereignty. There is also a saying that Chiang Kai-shek also left a way out for surrender, and the window for negotiations with Japan was not closed before the outbreak of the Pacific War, and was taken first by Wang Jingwei, so he chose not to declare war.
The second reason is that the military industry of the National Government is in a mess, and the domestic military supplies cannot be self-sufficient. Not only does the raw materials need to be imported, but even the finished products need to be imported. Especially Germany, the largest trading partner of the Republic of China, is also an ally of Japan. Once China and Japan declare war, both countries will receive restrictions from neutral countries, and military supplies and raw materials will all be subject to an embargo. Some Apple fans even believe that if the National Government declares war at the beginning of July 7, the National Government will not be able to support the outbreak of the Pacific War.
There is another saying that because the international form is strange, various alliances are intertwined, and they are afraid of standing in the wrong team and will face sky-high war compensation like the defeated country during World War I.
In fact, it has been verified by history.
During the July 7 Incident, the benefits of declaring war are far greater than the benefits of not declaring war.
Because once both sides declare war, neutral countries will impose a material embargo on both sides of the declaration of war, including weapons and a series of raw materials for making weapons, including fuel.
The oil, iron ore, scrap steel, rubber used by Japan to invade China, all rely on imports.
Of course, Japan is unwilling to declare war.
China and Japan are strange and do not declare war. Although Japan has gained great benefits, it is not the biggest benefit. The biggest benefit is the United States, and the large amount of materials sold has allowed the United States to survive the most difficult moment of the economic crisis.
In October 1931, US President Hoover made a public speech supporting Japan's invasion of the three northeastern provinces of China.
The U.S. government bans the sale of weapons to China.
However, in the first three years since Japan invaded China, the United States supplied 70% of the fuel to Japan.
Most of Japan's important strategic materials such as oil, steel, aircraft, and automobiles are provided from the United States.
In his parting speech, Tao Xingzhi said: "I went back to China to participate in the War of Resistance. If one day I was killed by a Japanese bomb, please don't forget that 54% of my body was killed by your United States."
Therefore, there is a way to use history to reverse the situation. The National Government was a comprador government, and under pressure from the United States, it did not declare war on Japan.
Some people even said that they had a nose and eyes, saying that Roosevelt prevented the National Government from declaring war on Japan.
After traveling to this real scene, Zhou Xiaoshan realized that Roosevelt would not stop him, but the US consul and ambassador to China were deeply connected with American businessmen fighting against the Far East. The so-called diplomacy was to serve the interests of capital.
