The deputy commander went to the commander's side to talk about the issue of currency, and now the Yan'an side must issue currency, because the legal tender on the Chongqing side is getting more and more hairy, not to say that foreigners do not recognize it, that is, the Chinese themselves do not recognize it.

Now the people still trade with silver dollars, so they forced Yan'an to issue their own currency, and the commander saw the currency sample provided by the deputy commander, and was very satisfied.

Soon the Spring Festival arrived, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, after Hu Bin got up in the headquarters, he first stood at the door of the headquarters, lit a firecracker, and then took out the red envelope that was wrapped last night.

Hu Bin put 1 cent in each red envelope, and then sent one to each of the soldiers who were standing guard, and in the entire headquarters, those soldiers who were standing guard, Hu Bin gave red envelopes, and then said New Year's greetings to each other, and then Hu Bin took the car and went to the garrison of the infantry brigade.

When I got there, it was more than 7 o'clock in the morning, Hu Bin walked into those permanent fortifications, greeted the soldiers for the New Year, and then had an early meal in Li Qinwei's headquarters, and then went to the armored brigade, and then went to the artillery, engineers, special regiments, and logistics units to pay New Year's greetings.

It was almost noon that Hu Bin returned to the headquarters, and then dialed the phone number of the headquarters to Commander Peng, the political commissar, and the chief of staff to greet the New Year, and then the commander-in-chief to pay New Year's greetings, but now there is no phone here to reach Yan'an, Hu Bin just sent a telegram.

At noon, Hu Bin sent at least 100 telegrams, in addition to New Year's greetings to the generals in Yan'an, but also to the people he knew in Chongqing, as well as the people in charge of the arsenal and scientists, Hu Bin sent telegrams to say Happy New Year.

And Hu Bin himself received a lot of telegrams, including telegrams from Huang Wenjin, Xiang Lei, and Huo Qingge, as well as telegrams from the generals brought out by the expeditionary force themselves, and telegrams from the officers here in Wuhan!

As soon as the Chinese New Year came to the beginning of February, Hu Bin drove to Beiping on the second day of the Lunar New Year, played with Li Wanru for 2 days, and then returned to the headquarters, and now he has to seize the time to train recruits!

However, at this time, on the front line of the United States, the troops of the United States stabilized the defense line, and the Jian-1 fighters sold to them by China began to gain air supremacy.

Every day, hundreds of Jian-1 fighters took to the air to fight, and the Japanese Zero fighters fought, and when they hit the back, there were no fighters on the entire front line of Japan, and they were all beaten by the Jian-1 fighters, and after the bombers passed, the United States began to carry out bombing missions to bomb the factories established by Japan in Canada.

Soon, Japan and the United States maintained a balance on the border, and the United States wanted to attack it, but the stamina was insufficient, and there was a big problem with the source of the United States' troops, mainly because too many soldiers were sacrificed in the early stage, and now the soldiers are all new recruits, and when they go to the battlefield and fight with the Japanese troops, the casualties are also very large.

Now the troops of the United States are a little afraid to fight, the casualties are too great, so big that the staff department does not dare to continue to recruit soldiers, but it is not possible to do without conscription, and the front line cannot be stopped without conscription, so now the staff can only forcibly recruit young people, and many college students have put down their textbooks, picked up guns, and went to the front line.

Before he knew it, it was mid-March, and at this time, Hu Bin stared at the information sent from above every day, and he guessed in his heart that Germany would attack the Soviet Union at any time after mid-March, and as soon as the Soviet Union attacked, Japan would also attack the Soviet Union in the Far East.

Now Hu Bin just hopes that they can fight quickly, and as long as they fight, China will have a chance to recover the Northeast.

And Hu Bin hopes that the sooner the better, because the ice on the northeast river has not yet begun to melt, and it will not melt until mid-April, and once it starts, the speed will be very fast, and the ice will all melt in ten days, and then the roads will be muddy, and if Japan blows up those bridges, it will be difficult for the troops to pass.

On March 15th, in the base camp of Australia and Japan, a cabinet official rushed to the prime minister's residence, and they had just received a notice that the prime minister was going to convene them for a meeting, and when they entered the prime minister's residence, they asked each other what was going on, but no one knew.

Soon, those people arrived at the conference room where Prime Minister Kiichiro Hiranuma was, and as soon as the officials arrived here, they saw that the two people had already arrived, the land minister and the sea minister, as well as the senior officers of the army and navy!

When the officials saw it, they immediately found their place and sat down.

"I just got the news that Germany launched an attack on the Soviet army in Europe at 6 o'clock in the morning local time, and there were 3.2 million troops in the attack, and it is estimated that the defense line set up by the Soviet Union in Europe will be torn apart within a few days, and Germany has just sent a telegram to us, hoping that we will immediately declare war on the Soviet Union, and at the same time order the troops in the Far East to attack immediately!" Kiichiro Hiranuma spoke.

"What, just a fight?"

"How is it so fast?"

"We're going to declare war with the Soviet Union?" When the officers heard this, they immediately began to discuss it with each other.

"Be quiet, it's time for our empire to act, we have prepared more than 1 million troops in the Far East, if it weren't for the Soviet Union, maybe China wouldn't have had a chance at all, and now it's time for us to take revenge on this arrow." Kiichiro Hiranuma interrupted the officers and said very calmly.

"I agree to declare war on the Soviet Union, as long as we meet with the German troops, then there will be only one country and China left, and China will definitely not be able to defeat us at that time, the German mechanical troops will fight from the northwest of China downward, how can the Chinese troops be able to stop it, war must be declared!" A cabinet member stood up and spoke.

"Hey, I also want to declare war, now we have received a lot of technology and support from Germany, as well as all kinds of material resources, if we do not declare war at this time, Germany will be able to stop aiding us immediately.

Besides, I don't think the Soviet Union will be an opponent of Germany, Germany has so many troops, and most of them are mechanical troops, science and technology are still so developed, and the economy is strong, the Soviet Union cannot be stopped! Another cabinet member also stood up and expressed his attitude.

At this time, Hiranuma Kiichiro looked at Hideki Tojo and Mitsumasa Yonechi, the two of them were in favor of declaring war, and now they Japan will declare war whether they want it or not, if war is not declared, the aid from the German side will stop immediately, and then they Japan will be in big trouble.

"Report, commander-in-chief, latest intelligence, Germany and the USSR are fighting!" At this time, a confidential secretary ran to the commander's office with a telegram and shouted at the commander.

"What, the fight started, so fast?" The commander was very surprised when he heard this, and at this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the commander looked up and found that the commander-in-chief and the chief of the general staff were entering his office.

"Commander-in-chief, the fight has begun, Germany and the USSR have fought!" The commander-in-chief came in and said.

"Show me!" The commander took the telegram from the confidential secretary and read it carefully.

"The battle in the morning, according to the time difference, is the battle that started 2 hours ago?" After reading the information, the commander said to them.

"That's right, Xiaobin's guess this time is really right, that kid said that before the end of March, Germany will definitely take the initiative to attack the Soviet Union, and now it's only March 15th, and the German side will fight. Now that our chance has come, it's up to us to see what happens to Japan. The commander-in-chief nodded and said.

"They will definitely declare war, Germany can't get around them without declaring war, I think, the telegram declaring war will definitely come out tomorrow if it doesn't come out today!" The commander heard it, thought for a moment and spoke.

"Well, I guess it's about the same!" The Commander-in-Chief nodded.

"Report, Soviet Ambassador Bogomolov asked to see you!" A secretary came in from outside and spoke to the commander.

"Report, Stilwell, the special envoy of the United States, has asked to see you!" Another secretary came in and said.

"Report, the Soviet ambassador requests again, strongly requests your reception!" The secretary hadn't finished talking about it before, and a secretary came over again and said.

"Report, telegram from Commander Chiang in Chongqing, urgent!" A confidential secretary came over with a telegram and said.

"Bring it!" When the commander heard the telegram from Chongqing, he immediately asked the secretary to bring it, and the secretary handed it over, and the commander picked it up and looked at it carefully.

"Well, it's time to meet, and we can't still be scattered, so that our country will be in trouble." The commander-in-chief saw that Commander-in-Chief Chiang reminded himself that Germany had already attacked the Soviet Union, and asked his side to pay attention to the situation in the northwest.

Commander Chiang had already ordered the troops in Xinjiang to strengthen their defenses, and he also reminded the troops in Yan'an to strengthen the defense in the northwest, and the expeditionary force to kill the devils entrenched in India as soon as possible, otherwise it would be quite troublesome when they joined forces with the German troops.

In addition, he said in the telegram that he hoped to meet with Commander Mao in Xi'an to discuss the future direction of China!

After reading the telegram, the commander-in-chief immediately gave it to the commander-in-chief, and at this time, the deputy commander-in-chief also came.

"Commander-in-chief, just now the Soviet ambassador called me and said that he wanted to see me, but I didn't agree, now that Germany and the Soviet Union are fighting, the time has come for us to recover the Northeast!" When the deputy commander came in, he said to the commander.

"Well, tell the Soviet ambassador and the special envoy of the United States that I will meet them in 2 hours, Lao Zhou, and inform the committee members at home to hold a meeting, quickly!" After the commander finished speaking to the secretary beside him, he said to the deputy commander. (To be continued.) )
