"Look at it, I'm right, Boyuan is a strategic, don't you command his Jewish troops to land on Honshu Island., the Japanese are in big trouble now." The front-line battle report sent by the attendant officer was first read by Song Meiling, and the information about Zhao Zhi and Lei Ting was picked out by Song Meiling alone, and it happened to be used to reassure Chiang Kai-shek who came up from downstairs.

Chiang Kai-shek, who had read the war report, still looked depressed, Zhao Zhi only relied on a few thousand mercenaries and 400,000 farmers like the South Asian natives to take root on Kyushu Island, but his 74th Army and Youth Army suffered defeats in Shandong and Hebei, is this really the commander's reason? You must know that the 74th Army and the Youth Army are equipped with American-style weapons and equipment, and even their firepower and equipment far exceed that of Zhao Zhi's troops who landed in Kyushu, but why do they have to suffer defeat in the face of the Kwantung Army division that goes south?

But in any case, Zhao Zhi kicked off the war on the Japanese mainland, which was a help to the domestic anti-Japanese war situation, and the Japanese army was not only busy sending troops to support their South Asian battlefield, but I am afraid that they would also spare a large part of their energy to deal with Zhao Zhi in the Japanese mainland. Zhao Zhi is good at organizing attacks, which is already an indisputable fact when Thunder Thunder played a great reputation in Shanxi at that time, not to mention that Zhao Zhi is now in Japan, and he does not have to worry about civilians when he fights, and there are no factors that can restrain Zhao Zhi, and I believe that the landing force commanded by Zhao Zhi can give full play to its powerful combat effectiveness.

"Boyuan has already gone to Japan, why are you still unhappy?" Song Meiling's idea was obviously simpler, she now thought that Zhao Zhi's troops could quickly take Tokyo, capture the damned Emperor Hirohito, and then force the Japanese army to surrender completely, and this catastrophe in China would end sooner. In the face of Soong Meiling's persuasion, Chiang Kai-shek could only shake his head and smile bitterly, it was a good thing that the thunder burned the flames of war to Japan, but the troops under the command of the Nationalist Government were too uncompetitive, and such a good situation did not know to be firmly grasped, but it was cheaper to the growing Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China.

Although Yan'an has been committed to fighting Japan in conjunction with the Nationalist Government, the Eighth Route Army has expanded a lot compared to when it was formed, and the Eighth Route Army has also expanded from three divisions at that time to more than 50,000 people in six divisions now, counting those CCP armed forces that do not have regular numbers, the armed forces actually controlled by Yan'an have exceeded 900,000 people.

Chiang Kai-shek agreed to the Thunder to intervene in the domestic battlefield, and the original plan was just to use the Thunder to train an elite army for himself, and by the way, to stimulate the troops under the command of the Nationalist Government with the powerful combat power of the Thunder. It's a pity that Thunder is famous, and Zhao Zhi has also become an anti-Japanese hero in the eyes of the Chinese people, but those national army troops who were stimulated by thunder still have a face that can't be supported by mud, and even the 74th Army, which has not been equipped with American-style equipment for a long time, has begun to gradually recover the looseness and chaos of the original national army, so Chiang Kai-shek is very angry.

In any case, Chiang Kai-shek did not want to see the 74th Army or the Youth Army become the same force as the second-rate national army, and in his expectation, the 74th Army and the Youth Army should become the same troops as the Thunder Mercenaries, rather than a rabble with sloppy military discipline and low combat effectiveness. It turned out that the two troops he expected were far from the standard HIA of the Thunder mercenaries, at least in the days when Zhao Zhi burned the flames of war to the Japanese mainland, he did not see any decent battles between the 74th Army and the Youth Army.

"Maybe I should send some troops to Japan to participate in the war, so that I can gain the recognition of the Americans, and on the other hand, I can also let Boyuan train them again." After receiving the news of the thunderous Jewish troops landing on the island of Honshu, Chiang Kai-shek in the villa on the south bank once again raised Zhao Zhi's idea. Compared with the transfer of officers from Zhao Zhi's command to serve in the Youth Army, it seems that the Youth Army is more beneficial to being transferred to Japan to fight, which can not only win the opportunity for the Youth Army to receive actual combat training under Zhao Zhi's guidance, but also win the recognition of the international community for the Nationalist Government.

Chiang Kai-shek, who had made up his mind, immediately sent a telegram to Zhao Zhi, and after affirming Lei Ting's contribution to the War of Resistance, Chiang Kai-shek directly proposed in the telegram that he would send a unit from the Youth Army to Japan to accept Zhao Zhi's command. Chiang Kai-shek did not know that when he sent a telegram to Zhao Zhi, the telegram sent from Yan'an had already been delivered to Zhao Zhi half an hour earlier, and coincidentally, the demand made by Yan'an was exactly the same as that of Chiang Kai-shek.

The CCP's cadre company in Shandong has been reduced from nearly 1,000 to less than 400 after two head-to-head exchanges with the Kwantung Army, not because the cadres are poorly armed or that they are weak and have been exploited by the Kwantung Army, but because the cadres are bent on imitating the combat tactics of the thunderous and rapid attack. They wanted to use guerrilla tactics and rapid attacks to contain the Kwantung Army troops moving south, but unfortunately in the final analysis, they were still too few in number, and they were pestered and beaten twice by the Kwantung Army, which had the advantage in strength, and the nearly 1,000 people that had been developed by the cadre company with great difficulty were reduced to less than 400 people.

If it weren't for the rescue of the Jewish troops stationed in Jiaodong, this cadre company of the CCP might have become a piece of history on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. Why do two troops use the same tactics There will be two different results, when Zhao Zihan was in Shanxi, the thunder mercenaries around him were just some national army routs or Jianghu guests who had only received training for a few months, why did Zhao Zhi win a big victory in the face of the Japanese puppet army that was several times his size, is it really because of the weapon?

After Yan'an learned that the cadre company was rescued by the Thunderous Jewish troops, it organized members of the Anti-Japanese University to analyze all the past combat examples of Zhao Zhi, and the students who participated in the analysis were gradually divided into two factions. One faction insists on the supremacy of weapons, saying that if the Thunder were not supported by American-style equipment and weapons, they would never have developed to the current scale. Zhao Zhi once supported some American-style weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army, but the commandos of the Eighth Route Army, equipped with these American-style weapons, did not fight any decent battles, but became a guard unit to defend the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Both sides insisted on their respective reasons, and even the high-level CCP leaders who organized this analysis meeting were a little impatient, and finally the analysis meeting had to end hastily, but the CCP high-level reached a consensus that even if you can't be friends with Zhao Zhi, at least don't befriend Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi didn't know that in the eyes of the CCP, the current Zhao Zhi was no longer the Zhao Zhi in Zhangwu County, after successively taking Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, the places north of Singapore, south of China, and east of India have actually been controlled by Thunder, and in the eyes of the CCP, Zhao Zhi has actually become a grass king.

Whether Zhao Zhi is the king of grass or not, there is no difference in Mao Zedong's heart, when he learned that Thunder went south to attack the Japanese army in Burma, Mao Zedong had already realized that this person was not simple. Sure enough, in just a few years, Thunder has grown from dozens of people to hundreds of thousands of troops now, and it still occupies such a large area. If you want to say that Zhao Zhi has no ambition, Mao Zedong will never believe it, but he has not yet seen what Zhao Zhi's purpose is.

It was precisely because of Mao Zedong's uncertainty that Zhou Enlai came forward in Yan'an and sent a telegram to Zhao Zhi who was far away on Kyushu Island, saying that the CCP would hand over the cadre company stranded in Jiaodong to Zhao Zhi's command, hoping that Zhao Zhi would agree to the cadre company to participate in the Japanese war. Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese Communists sent a request for the transfer of troops to participate in the Japanese war almost at the same time, which gave the busy Zhao Zhi a headache, Zhao Zhi did not know what Chiang Kai-shek and the CCP had in making such a decision, he just did not have the energy to deal with these things.

"Sir, I think that the decision made by the Nationalist Government and the CCP is nothing more than a temptation, and they are beginning to feel uneasy about us, perhaps because they are afraid of our growing influence on the Chinese war situation." Along with the first batch of supplies, there was also a staff group sent by the Rockman family, and the chief of staff was Smith, who had crossed paths with Zhao Zhi in Florida. Cooper, a long-time expert on Asian affairs, fluent in Chinese and Japanese, was one of the most astute members of the Rockman family.

Zhao Zhi rubbed his forehead with his hand a little bored, what Smith said just now, Zhao Zhi had already thought about it carefully when he was in Shanxi, but he didn't expect that the temptation from China would come so early. Politics is always dirty, and Zhao Zhi only wants to be a pure soldier or a pioneer, which is why he would allow the Rockman family's staff to enter the Thunder, because he doesn't want to spend his energy on taking care of things.

"Call them back, both of them refuse, but you have to pay attention to your words and not be too blunt." After being silent for a long time, Zhao Zhi finally made up his mind to reject the proposal of Chiang Kai-shek and the CCP. The current thunder is undoubtedly the sharpest knife, whether it is the national government or the CCP and the thunder, they can get benefits from the thunder, and the other party is bound to consider the existence of the thunder before making a move, but Zhao Zhi doesn't want the thunder to do that knife.

Zhao Zhi also knew that war and politics were inseparable, but Zhao Zhi only wanted to build Thunder into a pure military organization, a pure military organization that was not influenced by politicians. The attack on Japan was just a foreshadowing for Zhao Zhi to step onto the international stage in the future, so he didn't want to have anything to do with any political forces, even if he had a good relationship with Chiang Kai-shek in private.
