"The commission means that Roosevelt will draw Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries to join the war against our country?" Jiang Baili asked.

"Well, definitely. Let's not talk about the relationship between the British and the Americans. If the Americans cannot defeat us in Asia, then the colonies of European and American powers such as France and the Netherlands in Asia will always be threatened by our country.

Therefore, they will definitely unite to deal with our army.

Even though these old colonial powers are already in decline, now there is a behemoth like the United States taking the lead, providing money, guns and weapons. They send people to deal with us, and they are still very happy to do so." Zhang Xinghan nodded.

"Then wouldn't we have to face greater military and political pressure as well as diplomacy?" Jiang Baili suddenly became very worried.

"It's not that serious, as long as Hitler leads the German army to launch a war in Eastern Europe.

Coupled with geographical relations, it is difficult for Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries to mobilize troops from Europe to Asia. At best, they can order their colonial legions in Southeast Asia to collude with the US military.

Launch an attack directly from land to the southwest of our country." Zhang Xinghan analyzed.

"Invading from Southeast Asia? That's true, wouldn't it mean that if the US military cannot break through our first island chain defense line, or to avoid the risk of bypassing Taiwan and Japan's troops and attacking our homeland?

It is very likely that we will choose to launch a land attack on our homeland from Southeast Asia.

If this is the case, we must strengthen the southwest border defense force as soon as possible, just in case." Jiang Baili said.

"This, I have already made a plan. I will deploy the troops of the Central Army faction headed by Jiang Gong to station in the southwestern provinces, and form the Southwest Frontier Defense Force with the Guangxi Clique, Sichuan Army, and Yunnan Army." Zhang Xinghan said.

"Transfer the Central Army? There are also the Yunnan Army and the Sichuan Army. Their equipment is poor and their combat effectiveness is low. Can they stop the U.S. Army, which is fully mechanized?" Jiang Baili was not optimistic about them.

In his view, the only ones that can compete head-on with the US military today are the first-class National Defense Forces, which were expanded from the original Northeastern Border Guards.

However, Zhang Xinghan said very confidently: "Brother Baili, there are mountainous areas in the southwest, which is not conducive to the advancement of mechanized troops. On the contrary, it is conducive to the Yunnan Army, Sichuan Army and the Guangxi Army to exert their respective specialties and advantages.

Therefore, relying on the dangerous terrain, they will definitely be able to block the coalition forces of Britain, the United States, France and other countries on the border.

The colonial legions of Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries in Southeast Asia were unbearable. They were simply a bunch of rabble, and their combat prowess was not worth mentioning.

The most important thing is the U.S. military, but the complex and dangerous geographical environment in the southwest will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the U.S. military. This kind of mountain forest warfare and jungle warfare, the Americans cannot defeat us."

Zhang Xinghan's confidence did not come out of thin air. First of all, the Yunnan Army, Sichuan Army and Guangxi Army fought on their own soil, were familiar with the terrain, and had public support.

They are good at mountain warfare and jungle warfare, but Americans are different. In the dangerous traffic environment of the southwest, the wheels of American cars and the tracks of tanks and armored vehicles will not be as fast as a pair of feet.

The aircraft may lose its direction when entering the mountains in the southwest, let alone provide precise aerial fire support for ground troops.

Throughout the modern history that Zhang Xinghan is familiar with, during the Vietnam War after World War II, the American military, national power, and advanced weapons levels were far stronger than they are now.

There was nothing that could be done about Ho Chi Minh's Viet Cong guerrillas who only occupied half of Vietnam.

At this time, in such a complex environment, it became even more impossible for the Americans to defeat the border guards formed by the coalition forces from the southwestern provinces.

While the two were talking, Guo Zhong suddenly walked in hurriedly, saluted Zhang Xinghan and said: "Commissioner, Vice Chairman Jiang wants to see you."

"Oh? You said Cao Fuck, Cao Fuck." Zhang Xinghan said with a surprised smile.

"It seems that Mr. Jiang and the committee members want to go together." Jiang Baili analyzed: "However, we cannot rule out that this is a move by Mr. Jiang to get rid of the control of the Central Military Commission."

Zhang Xinghan sighed and said: "It's not easy for Mr. Jiang. We don't have to do everything. Letting him sit in the southwest today can be regarded as leaving him a way out."

Zhang Xinghan knew that sooner or later he would have to delegate power to China, and it was absolutely impossible for the Kuomintang to gain a foothold on the mainland.

His direct troops already have a way out, that is, the Korean Peninsula, Outer Mongolia, and in the future, the entire Soviet Union, Siberia, and Japan.

Southeast Asia is currently the most suitable place for Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army to establish a foothold. There are many ethnic Chinese there, and it is very suitable for building another Chinese country.

Of course, Zhang Xinghan's vision is still very far. In the future, if China and Germany defeat the Western powers led by Britain and the United States.

Then it will gain great voice and war benefits around the world.

In the future, the three major Chinese circles, land and overseas territories together will most likely surpass any dynasty in the history of the Chinese nation.

It even exceeded the territory of the Mongol Empire established by the Mongols.

He told Guo Zhong to invite Duke Jiang to come in. Sure enough, Princess Chiang made the request to dispatch 600,000 direct line troops of the Central Army to station in the southwestern provinces to prevent Britain, the United States and other countries from invading our southwest from land.

Zhang Xinghan readily agreed, which was beyond Jiang Gong's expectation, so Jiang Gong said goodbye and left in a happy mood.

After this period of nationwide military expansion operations, the strength of the remaining troops in various areas of the four major front armies has exceeded the original full strength.

Together with the three million land, sea and air forces stationed on the first island chain defense line, China's total military strength now reaches seven million.

Of course, more than half of them are new recruits.

In order to preserve a certain combat effectiveness and vitality of the troops, Zhang Xinghan requested that the 600,000 former Central Army troops transferred by Chairman Chiang be transferred at a ratio of one to four.

That is, only one of every five veterans of the Central Army is allowed to be transferred, and the remaining four are retained and adapted on the spot.

The balance will be filled by new recruits.

In order to be able to leave the southeast part of the town, Jiang Gong reluctantly agreed to this condition.

As long as there are 150,000 veterans, these 600,000 troops still have a chance to grow as quickly as possible.

The Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, and the Guangxi-Guangxi Clan had previously mobilized hundreds of thousands of elite troops to join Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the Shandong Army to form the current active forces.

Most of them are stationed in the Japanese Islands, Taiwan Islands, Ryukyu Islands and the Korean Peninsula.

Therefore, the Yunnan Army and the Sichuan Army have also recruited many new soldiers. This will not cause Jiang Gong's 600,000 Central Army to be untenable in the southwest.

At the same time, in order to facilitate wartime command, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili decided after discussion to change the four front armies into four frontier defense armies, namely the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, the Southwest Frontier Defense Force and the Southeast Frontier Defense Force.

In addition, the three million troops on the Taiwan Islands, Japan Islands, and Ryukyu Islands were reorganized into the dispatched troops stationed in Japan and the South China Sea and East China Sea Border Guard Forces.

These three million troops and the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, and the Southeast Frontier Defense Force were all under the direct control of Zhang Xinghan.
