Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Stilwell came here today simply to express his attitude and position: So-and-so is not taking advantage of the benefits and not doing things, but the plan is not as fast as the change, and he has no power.

"Yes, we are all friends, so don't be polite to each other in the future! No matter what you need in the United States from now on, please feel free to ask, as long as it's about money, it's not a problem!"

Meng Wu'an had already received Yang Fan's telegram to establish a good relationship with Stilwell, and he could spend enough money and resources if necessary!

Chapter 608

"That's right! We are all friends, and we should help each other. Don't be too overbearing. Stilwell, anyway, you still have a few days before taking up your new position. Let's get together in these few days." Let's get together!"

Hearing the implication of Meng Wuan's words, Powell smiled and smoothed things over. As an old friend for many years, he naturally hoped that Stilwell would be able to board the big ship of Yang Fan and become a partner in the same boat.

Meng Wu'an smiled and said: "That's right, everyone has experienced a lot of things this year, and it's rare for us to get together, so we just take this opportunity to have a good exchange. I just don't know if Mr. Stilwell is willing to give this face?"

"Thank you for your kindness, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient!"

Stilwell nodded his head with a smile on his face. The trip to Shandong Peninsula opened Stilwell's eyes and refreshed his cognition and three views.

At this time, Stilwell naturally developed a strong curiosity, and wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on with this famous Dongxing Trading Group Company!

After a pause, Stilwell continued: "Before leaving Qingdao this time, General Yang asked me to bring back some letters, most of which were written by your relatives, and there are also many condolence letters."

After speaking, Stilwell picked up the suitcase at his feet and put it on the coffee table, opened it and took out two bulging briefcases.

"That's great, thank you very much! The beacon fire lasts for three months, and the family letter is worth ten thousand gold!"

"Yes, yes, we have not received a letter from home for a long time!"

"Wow, speaking of it, I suddenly have a feeling of returning home!"

Meng Wu'an smiled and nodded his thanks, took the briefcase and handed it to Shi Weifu, "I'll leave this matter to you, be sure to distribute the letter to everyone."

"Okay, please rest assured, Chairman!"

Shi Weifu replied with a smile, looking at the bulging briefcase, he felt as if a cat was scratching in his heart, wishing to open it now to see if there was any letter from his family.

Meng Wu'an asked with a smile: "I don't know, besides this, the chief has not asked you to bring us a message?"

Stilwell glanced at the people around him, and said honestly: "I do have something to tell you, but I don't know whether to tell you alone or in front of everyone."

"..."

Meng Wu'an looked at Stilwell in astonishment, seeing that his expression was sincere and did not mean to be joking, he was speechless for a while.

It was originally just a polite remark, because it is reasonable to say that if Yang Fan has something to do, he would send him a telegram directly instead of asking someone to pass the message, but Meng Wuan did not expect that he actually asked something.

And because the incident happened suddenly, and he didn't know what to say, Meng Wu'an didn't know whether it should be kept secret.

"Chairman, let's go out and wait first!"

Seeing Meng Wu'an groaning silently, Shi Weifu stood up wisely and took the lead to say goodbye.

"Yes, yes, let's take our leave first. Since it is a matter specially explained by the chief executive, let the chairman listen to it first!"

Xia Chen, Tong Weiwen and others also stood up and exited the stage tactfully.

After everyone else had left the office, Meng Wu'an said with a smile: "Well, there is no one else now! Stilwell, if you have something to say, please feel free to say it!"

Stilwell replied very seriously: "General Yang is extremely dissatisfied because I have heard me mention that the Chongqing government is corrupt and incompetent, that the Chongqing government is full of songs every night, and especially that it is extremely brutal and cruel in recruiting young men.

Let me tell you that the profit distribution to the national government needs to be supervised. You can't give cash directly as before. It's better to purchase weapons and equipment on demand, so as to prevent these wealth from falling into the private pockets of some people! "

"So that's what happened! I see, thank you!"

Meng Wu'an nodded, and basically understood what Yang Fan meant. Not only did this matter itself not need to be kept secret, but it also had to be spread in a small area quietly.

What Yang Fan did was to seize the moral high ground in advance, and told the Nationalist government and other parties in this way that he had actually been supporting the Nationalist government on the frontal battlefield, but he would not tolerate the money spent being embezzled.

If other situations arise in the future, then Yang Fan can make further changes, or even terminate the cooperative relationship, which can be regarded as laying an ambush in advance.

Stilwell said in a deep voice: "I don't know what kind of agreement you have with the Nationalist Government, but I can say responsibly that it is absolutely wise for General Yang to do this. There are not many people in the Nationalist Government from top to bottom. In the sincere anti-Japanese.

Especially those high-ranking military and political officials who hold high-ranking officials and rich salaries, but have two hearts and only know how to live and dream all day long, are really chilling.

I really can't understand why there are so many corrupt high-level officials in a government that is facing a catastrophe. Shouldn't it be time to work hard and unite as one? "

Once the chatterbox was opened, it couldn't be stopped at all, Stilwell turned on the mode of complaining, and narrated in detail the tragic events and angry events he had seen.

"Thank you for your sincerity, we will always remember it in our hearts!"

Meng Wu'an looked at Stilwell quite moved in his heart. It was not easy for an American to be so anxious about the War of Resistance in China.

"My personality is like this. I like to be straightforward. I can't understand those who are corrupt and incompetent, and I can't understand those unfair things."

Stilwell spread his hands and said: "My friend, I sincerely hope that you Huaxia can get rid of the difficulties sooner. Those hardworking and kind civilians should not suffer such a serious disaster!"

"Thank you! I believe that everything will be fine. Our boss will lead us from one victory to another, and we will definitely be able to rebuild the world in the future!"

Meng Wu'an took a deep breath, he was startled if he didn't listen.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from being born and died on the battlefield many times in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Meng Wuan lived in a good living environment most of the time. At this time, he heard the darkness and corruption in the war zone and the Kuomintang-controlled area, and felt a great shock in his heart.

It turns out that this is the real war era, this is the real life is worthless, and this is the real tragic situation of Huaxia Kingdom!

Stilwell nodded and said, "I hope so too. I hope that we will have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future, because I know that the Japanese ambitions will not stop there. They will definitely be enemies of the whole world in the future."

"I'm looking forward to that day too!"

"Okay, then it's such a happy deal!"

Meng Wuan smiled and slapped Stilwell three times in a row, reading each other's heart from each other's eyes, and then both of them burst out laughing.

In the next few days, Meng Wu'an specially accompanied Stilwell around the company under his company, and entertained him with delicious food and drinks.

Chapter 609 Plan ahead

According to Yang Fan's instructions, Meng Wu'an put all his efforts into building a good relationship with Stilwella, tied him to his warship, and accompanied the restaurant for several days, trying to give him different tastes of food and entertainment programs. .

After a few days, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up, and they almost became good friends who talked about everything.

"You actually have such an advanced automated production workshop?"

"Wow, are these films made by your own film studio? The visual effects are really shocking!"

"Oh, what a delicious Coke! What a delicious crispy fried chicken and potato chips!"

"My God, it's unbelievable! This logistics center is so big!"

If you don’t see it, you don’t know it. When you see it, you are startled. During the process of visiting the logistics base, commercial buildings, McDonald’s chain fast food restaurants, production workshops, modern movie theaters, etc., Stilwell kept fussing all the way, just like a mountain man entering the city.

It’s not that Stilwell has seen the world, on the contrary, he grew up in a civilized and developed big city in the United States, and his knowledge far exceeds that of people from other countries at the time.

However, during the visit, Stilwell found that the strength and background of Dongxing Trading Company were too terrifying. Even he, an American, was dumbfounded, and he couldn't imagine that it took only one day for this behemoth to grow and grow. more than a year.

Stilwell once again refreshed his understanding of Yang Fan's supernatural powers, and deeply realized the horror of this mysterious oriental man. It seems that there is nothing in this world that he cannot do!

As a result, Stilwell became a fan of Yang Fan subtly, and began to admire Yang Fan, and gradually changed from a normal perspective to an upward perspective.

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and the time has come to February 1940, 2. This day is the most solemn traditional festival of the Chinese nation, the Spring Festival.

This is also the fourth Spring Festival that Yang Fan has experienced after crossing. Like last year, Gaomi People's Broadcasting Station staged a Spring Festival Gala that lasted more than 4 hours on the evening of the New Year's Eve.

Not only the entire Shandong Peninsula can watch the Spring Festival Gala on closed-circuit TV, cinemas, broadcasting halls and other equipment and facilities, but also broadcast simultaneous news broadcasts to the world through radio stations.

With the experience of the last time, the quality of this year's Spring Festival Gala has improved a lot. The various programs are wonderful, full of tears and laughter, and they have won applause from beginning to end.

Gaomi Film Studio released new Chinese New Year films such as "Jing Wu Heroes", "Japanese Spy", "Hot Blood and Loyal Soul", "Magnificent Mountains and Rivers", "Dancing Girl Tears", "Defending Hometown" and so on during the Spring Festival.

These color and sound films were not only screened in theaters in major cities in China, but also simultaneously screened in the United States.

Hello everyone is really good. Yang Fan is not stingy with money while earning a lot of gold and silver. Whether it is a foreign company, an enterprise, an institution, or the military in the jurisdiction, they have all issued a wave of year-end bonuses and benefits.

It received rave reviews for a while, and there were endless laughter at home and abroad. Countless people were grateful for Yang Fan's gift, and their hearts were full of hope and faith.

Through these routine operations, Yang Fan really gained a lot of presence and prestige points, and at the same time earned a lot of money at the box office.

Before the Spring Festival, Shanghai's hard-to-lose game finally came to an end. Even if the little devil wanted to work abroad, he had to have a head.

After five months of marathon sea transportation, it was finally counted that the number of Shanghai refugees who entered the Huaxia Huben Army defense area reached 280, including more than 71 million women, children, and children, accounting for [-]% of the total population.

The adult labor force is just over 100 million, accounting for less than 30%.

There is no way, now the national government and the Japanese devils are frantically arresting strong men everywhere. Most of the strong men are either forced to go to the battlefield as cannon fodder, or they are caught everywhere to build fortifications, dig coal and build roads.

In order to resettle these influx of refugees, Yang Fan spent an astronomical amount of financial, material and manpower. If it weren't for the massive blood transfusion from the United States, even if Yang Fan had a huge income from the systematic Taobao manor, he would not be able to withstand it.

In particular, the crazy devils dropped bacterial weapons and tortured refugees in various ways, which doubled the cost of epidemic prevention and medical treatment.

However, what is lost must be gained. Although Yang Fan spent rations, medicines and wealth that even a little devil would find incredible, he has harvested a population of nearly 400 people, although women, children, old and young accounted for the vast majority.

So far, the population of the Huaxia Huben Army has reached more than 1200 million, and the war potential has increased unprecedentedly.

After the festive Spring Festival, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Yang Fan wore casual clothes and took a helicopter to Putai County, which is located at the northernmost end of the defense zone.

I have "lived in peace" with the devils for five months, and now that spring is here, the vast ice and snow are gradually melting, and it's time for the Huaxia Huben Army to come out to exercise their muscles and bones again.

The main purpose of Yang Fan's visit to Putai County today is to survey the terrain, the days of peace cannot last long, even if he doesn't go out to fight the little devils, the little devils will come sooner or later.

Yang Fan launched the autumn offensive and fought several brutal and bloody urban street battles in a row. With his strong force value and disparate battle loss ratio, he completely shattered the Japanese invaders' desire to fight with the Chinese tiger and cardinal army.

After thinking about it for a while, the Japanese headquarters had to "break their wrists", and reluctantly gave up the counties such as Potai County, Gaoyuan County, Qingcheng County, Qidong County, and Zouping County in the plains.

Before withdrawing, the devils not only removed all the materials in the city, but also blew up important fortifications, and completely destroyed the original Yellow River defense line.

After the Huaxia Huben Army settled in, Yang Fan immediately sent a large number of construction engineering teams to repair, reinforce and thicken.

After half a year of high-intensity construction, these newly recovered counties now not only have completed city defense fortifications and air defense bunkers, but even the road network is connected.

In addition, the Yellow River defense line outside Putai County has also been repaired and reinforced. The Chinese Huben Army and the Japanese Army on the north bank have now formed a confrontation across the river.

On June 1938, 6, after the Huayuankou breached, the water of the Yellow River quickly drained down the Jialu River.

The next day, a torrential rain fell in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. The water volume of the Yellow River increased sharply.

After the two streams of Zhaokou and Huayuankou converged, the Jialu River began to overflow. The overflowing river broke the Longhai Railway and flowed mightily to the southeast of Henan.

Along the Jialu River, Ying River, and Guo River into the Huai River, the water overflows and the victims are everywhere. From this, the Yellow River diverts, and the Yellow River enters the sea through the Huai River.

Due to the diversion of the main stream of the Yellow River, the original course of the Yellow River in Shandong was hundreds of meters wide, but now the river is less than [-] meters wide.

However, the areas where the riverbed is exposed are still very thick with silt, which is not suitable for heavy tanks to drive directly over.

"We have the natural danger of the Yellow River in the north, and there are complex mountainous areas in the south. If we want to go further, we have to find a way!"

Looking at the river in front of him, looking at the devil's defensive positions and forts on the opposite side, Yang Fan murmured with some headaches: "If you have any good ideas and opinions, feel free to put them forward."

Chapter 610 30 Years Hedong 30 Years Hexi

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Han Fuju built extremely strong fortification lines on both sides of the Yellow River.

Han Fuju knew that the Lubei Plain was easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it was difficult to confront the Japanese army head-on in this plain, so he had already prepared for the worst and wanted to use the natural danger of the Yellow River to confront and compete with the Japanese devils.

But the plan was not as fast as the change. Han Fuju led his direct line troops to fight the Japanese army for several bloody battles, only to realize that the Third Route Army he spent countless efforts to build was no match for the Japanese devils at all.

At this moment, Generalissimo Jiang transferred away the heavy artillery brigade stationed on the Yellow River defense line in the name of rushing to help the Songhu battlefield. This completely angered Han Fuju, thinking that Generalissimo Jiang wanted to use the Japanese to eradicate dissidents .

Therefore, Han Fuju, who was originally unwilling to spend all his family money, used this excuse to give up the natural danger of the Yellow River, Jinan, the provincial capital, and the defense line of Mount Tai, and retreated directly to several small counties in southwestern Shandong to survive.

Han Fuju blew up the Yellow River Railway Bridge before leaving, but did not cause large-scale damage to the fortifications on both sides of the Yellow River.

As soon as Han Fuju left, the Japanese devils attacked on a large scale and captured more than half of Shandong in a short time.

The little devil gathered heavy troops to besiege Yang Fan's headquarters in a large scale, intending to wipe out this thorn in his side and smash one of the backbones of China's anti-Japanese forces.

Yang Fan fought his back and fought the Japanese army to the end with the worst plan. Finally, relying on the fortifications he had worked hard for many years and the bloody battles of the soldiers, he severely damaged the Japanese army and held the frontier base of the Anti-Japanese War.

Later, the Huaxia Huben Army rapidly grew and turned from defense to offense, gradually expanding the anti-Japanese base areas, and successively regained a large area of ​​lost ground, which greatly increased the pressure on the Japanese No. 12 Army stationed in Shandong.

The No.12 Army, which was in charge of besieging the Huaxia Huben Army, could only turn around and focus on the defense line on the north bank of the Yellow River, Mount Tai, the defense line along the canal, and the mountain fortresses in southeast Shandong.

In the past one or two years, the little devil has spent a lot of manpower and material resources. Not only did he carry out large-scale reconstruction and reinforcement of the original defense line, he also added an unknown number of mountain fortresses that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In particular, the coastal defense line opposite the Yellow River is like an indestructible Maginot Line. There are not only three semi-permanent trenches lined up in a row, but also an unknown number of permanent defensive bunkers and forts scattered among them.

In particular, the terrain on both sides of the Yellow River is high in the north and low in the south. The Japanese army's position on the opposite side of the Yellow River is a bit higher than their own, occupying a considerable geographical advantage.

In order to build the defense line on the north bank, the Japanese devils forced more than 50 strong laborers in Shandong. Under long-term and high-intensity labor, more than 5000 migrant workers died of injuries or diseases!

The south bank defense line in front of you is a fortification of flesh and blood accumulated by countless innocent corpses!

Li Shuchun put down the binoculars, pondered for a moment and spoke first: "Boss, the little devil really took great pains to contain and surround us!

In the past, Chairman Han built fortifications on both sides of the Yellow River in order to prevent the devils from invading Shandong. Of course, the focus was on the south bank!
