Chapter 13 Focus Figures

+:|: The first one composed of 183 aircraft took off from the Japanese Joint Fleet and violently attacked the US fleet in Pearl Harbor. One hour later, the Japanese dispatched 191 aircraft formations to carry out a second attack. As a result, a total of 5 US battleships were sunk, attacked, and 10 other ships were damaged; 188 aircraft were destroyed, and 291 were injured; US officers and soldiers died, injured more than 2,000 people, and the US Pacific Fleet was severely damaged. <29 aircraft, less than 100 people died in battle.

In the afternoon, the Japanese envoy, Ambassadors Hirosu and Nomura, went to the US State Department and submitted a memorandum to Secretary of State Hull. Although Roosevelt had some advice to Hull in advance: be cold to them and not to have an attack, Hull could not suppress it. He glanced at the memorandum and said, "In my 50 years of public office, I have never seen such a shameless, full of hypocrisy and quibbling document." After that, he raised his jaw in the direction of the door.

At 3 pm on December 7th, news spread, :;. to every corner of the United States and the world.

At around 8 a.m. on December 8, Wu Ming was sleeping. Outside the window, muttered dissatisfiedly: "Is there anything important? Can't I let me sleep for a while?"

"Brother, wake up, Japan and the United States are going to war." Li Zhenying's eyes shone and raised his voice, "Wake up, Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor has really started fighting."

"Just fight. I said I would start fighting." Wu Ming was not very surprised, rubbed his eyes, put on his clothes and got off the kang.

"The intelligence officer who stayed in Peiping sent a telegram. Now the streets of Peking are full of Japanese and puppet spies. They not only forcibly closed major universities, but also crazily arrested patriotic teachers and students, American, British and other countries' expatriates. They took over their assets in China." Li Zhenying added: "The little Japanese has declared war on the United States. Now everyone is listening to the radio broadcast and paying attention to the further development of the situation. You can go too!"

Wu Ming washed his face, woke up his head, put on his coat, and walked out with Li Zhenying.

"When Roosevelt was running for president, he once said: Unless the United States is attacked first, he will not let the United States get involved in the war. Now, the Japanese devils did something Roosevelt had always wanted to do but did not do." Wu Ming sneered as he walked: "It's not too much of a loss to lose money after losing Pearl Harbor, but uniting Americans with serious differences!"

"Don't say that later." Li Zhenying whispered: "Schaotic will make those foreigners very angry."

"I know." Wu Ming nodded, "I'm not that stupid. I'm secretly happy in my stomach, hehe."

"…U.S. President Mr. Roosevelt delivered a speech in Congress: 127, 1941 will become a national humiliation. The United States of America was attacked by the Japanese navy and I ask Congress to announce that the United States and Japan are in a state of war due to the sudden attack by Japan..."

When Wu Ming and Li Zhenying walked into the house, the radio broadcast was approaching its end.

With a snap, the radio was turned off and there was a silence in the room.

After a while, Stuart sighed softly, "Just a few months ago, the Americans were glad that they hid behind the 'Two Ocean Fortresses'. Neither the Japanese nor the Germans could fight. Now, they will unswervingly enter the Pacific Ocean to fight against the Japanese fascists; cross the Atlantic Ocean to fight against the German fascists. This is the greatest war in American history."

"The despicable and shameless Japanese, the powerful army of the United States of America is invincible and will crush them all!" Lin Maike waved his fists in anger.

Li Zhenying waved his hand quietly, and the anti-group members all took light steps and walked out of the house. These guys didn't know how to hide it at all. Seeing their excited expressions on their faces, it was not appropriate to stay here, but after they went out, they must have found a place to discuss it enthusiastically.

"Let's contact Chongqing tomorrow. It's not good if time goes on." Han Han walked to Wu Ming and said softly.

Wu Ming nodded, "Tell the situation a little more seriously, and we must fully describe our helpless actions. And they will also let them bear some responsibility for us." While saying that, he pointed at the scholars.

Han Han smiled and blinked, turned around and walked out.

"Liu, Li, you are here too." Stu Leiden saw the two of them and immediately came over and greeted affectionately: "We want to thank you for protecting us from persecution and imprisonment by Japanese fascists."

"For Chinese friends, it is appropriate that we should do our best to help." Wu Ming said politely: "I feel extremely regretful about your country being attacked by Japanese fascists, and I feel extremely sad for losing the last base of Yanda."

Situ Leiden looked dark and sighed silently, and said with a forced smile: "The flag of Yan Da will never fall, and the triangular flag will rise again in the rear. I believe that the teachers and students of Yanjing will not scatter in panic. They will be full of hatred and support each other, and will go to the rear with extremely perseverance."

"If this is the case, you really have to have a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army." Wu Ming smiled slightly, "With their help, those teachers and students will have an extra road to the rear."

Stu Leiden was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said helplessly: "Liu, you are right. The situation is better than others. Everything starts from reality and does not use your own likes and dislikes as the basis. This habit is your behavior."

"Haha, why do I sound like calling me a fence-bearing?" Wu Ming blinked and said mischievously.

"You are not a fence-skinned man, but you are a big slippery man." Dorothy walked over and said dissatisfiedly.

Stu Leiden smiled and shook his head, saying to Wu Ming: "Japan-US war begins, the international situation will inevitably undergo major changes, and China's status will be greatly improved. It seems that we are about to become popular products."

"That's right, just wait for them to show your goodwill to you!" Wu Ming nodded and said with a smile: "We will also benefit from the glory of all sirs. This treatment will be improved."

…………………………………………………………

"... The war between the United States and Japan will inevitably undergo major changes in the international situation. From the perspective of Europe and the United States, China will not be allowed to break out of civil war, because this will greatly weaken the power to resist Japan. In order to drag the Japanese army to death in the quagmire of China. Reduce its own pressure, a large number of military aid will surely come in a steady stream. Let Americans, especially American journalists, come to Yan'an for interviews, influence American policies through public opinion, gain favorable impressions from the US government, and gain support from the international community, including the United States, will become an urgent task within the party! Now, famous people from both Stuart and other Chinese and foreign countries are stranded by you. You must seize this rare opportunity and establish a good relationship with them..."



Xiao Ke gently placed the telegram from Yan'an on the table and said with a smile: "The value has doubled. My political commissar, please make sure you arrange it. They will arrive this afternoon!"

Deng Hua nodded, "I'll go and arrange the arrangements immediately, and then go to welcome these well-known people together. To be honest, the central government's task is very arduous!"

"Yes, it's not easy to ask them to talk voluntarily." Xiao Ke fiddled with the teacup and said jokingly: "Is it because of man? I'm not a good comrade who complains now!"

……………………………

The fields in winter seem particularly empty and vast. The wind whistles unstoppable in the fields. The firewood piles in the village are blown to fly, and the big trees are trying their best to stand firm, letting their branches blew and sway with the wind.

"In fact, this place was not so desolate before!" Li Jinlin explained to Stu Leiden a little sadly: "The repeated cruel sweeps of the Japanese army not only destroyed the economy of the base area, but also caused a large number of casualties among the people in our base area."

"It is almost unimaginable to fight against the Japanese army in this environment and survive." Stu Leiden nodded solemnly, "I admire and sympathize with your Eighth Route Army for its tenacious fighting spirit to resist the Japanese fascism under such harsh conditions!"

"The people, it is the people who gave us great and selfless help." Li Jinlin pointed to the small village next to him. "After experiencing the brutality of the Japanese devils, although the people suffered huge casualties, they still rushed to send their relatives to our Eighth Route Army and donated their only rations, so that our Eighth Route Army could fight the Japanese army on the battlefield behind enemy lines."

"I'm afraid your life will be even more difficult in two years." Dorothy raised her head on the donkey next to her, put down the small notebook in her hand, and blew a few breaths of heat into her hand. "To be precise, this two years should be the most difficult period of China's war of resistance."

"Please say more in detail for Miss Dorothy." Li Jinlin asked with great interest.

"After the Pearl Harbor incident, the Japanese army had already gained a partial sea control and air control advantage in the Nanyang area. At the beginning of the war, Japan would inevitably have a considerable advantage. Even when the American civil war machine was fully launched, it would probably take at least two years to start a counterattack. In order to support the Nanyang war, Japan must need a relatively stable rear, so the anti-Japanese battlefield in mainland China will usher in a difficult and difficult period." Duoluoxi talked freely, "So, for you who are fighting behind enemy lines, the situation will be even more sinister."

Li Jinlin thought for a while, frowned and nodded, "You analyzed it deeply and thoroughly. I didn't expect Miss Dorothy to be a strategic expert."

"It's not what I said." Duoluoxi smiled sly, "I secretly recorded it by listening to them talking about Japan and the impact of the war on China." As he said that, he pointed to the Anti-Governor Group in front of him, "Liu is a strategic expert. His analysis and judgment are extremely accurate, and he always has amazing words. Unfortunately, he doesn't like to show off and has a bit of a misunderstanding of your GCD."

"Since it's a misunderstanding, it can be solved." Li Jinlin looked at Wu Ming, who was riding on the horse in front of him and was talking with Li Zhenying, Han Han and Xu Zhenzhen, and said with a smile: "I read his book last night and felt a lot. Although it was a bit extreme, it still had a heroic spirit. I just don't know why the author's name is Ming Shuangru."

"The names of the three people are written together." Duoluoxi explained: "Shuang is his wife, a very beautiful and knowledgeable little girl. So he kidnapped a beautiful woman from Shanghai and once went to Japan with him to collect information."

"Haha, a very interesting combination." Li Jinlin laughed and reached out to take out a book from his backpack. "If it is convenient, can he hand it over to him? I hope it can eliminate some misunderstandings about our party."

""The Westward Journey", OK, let me give it to him!" Dorothy took it and nodded, "I always wanted him to accompany me to Yan'an, but he kept ruling and perfunctory, hoping that this book could make him a change."

Yawning, Wu Ming suddenly sneezes and stretches out his hand to wipe his nose.

"Someone misses you, haha." Xu Zhenzhen covered her mouth and laughed.

"Look at you, you are so close, why do you want me to do?" Wu Ming laughed, "We are both people with masters, so you can't think about it!"

"People mouth!" Xu Zhenzhen gave him a blank look, "But don't say I didn't remind you, GCD seems to be very interested in you. Dorothy, the injured girl, was used as a gun!"

"It's all your fault." Wu Ming frowned, "What should I take out that book to show off?"

Xu Zhenzhen blinked and said innocently: "I'm angry when I see you like a mouse. It's not good to be too low-key. I want you to be a little famous."

"It's hard to hide with a famous mouse!" Han Han said jokingly: "If you are exposed in broad daylight, be careful that everyone will hit you with stones."

"Brother Liu is destined to be famous all over the world." Li Zhenying played with Wu Ming's samurai sword, "Just like this knife, it looks ordinary, and it will shine when it is unstoppable when it is unsheathed."
