Chapter 888: Those "Japanese"
Li Xianglong...... No, he should be called Tanaka no Suke now. Tanaka is now a Japanese expatriate living in the Philippines, his ancestral home is Bunzen Kyushu, Japan, and he speaks fluent Kyushu-accented Japanese to describe the scenery of Kyushu.
From time to time, this Japanese expatriate will also sing Kyushu nursery rhymes after drinking. Tears flowed down her face while singing.
It can be described as painstaking to go around trying to get a nail in the field, on the one hand, using research to find the right name and look, and then training people to adapt themselves to the role.
At the same time, it is also a great test of loyalty and psychological quality to the people who go there. Tanaka has undoubtedly passed these tests, otherwise he would not be favored by Masaharu Honma now, serving as one of the directors of the "Philippine Copper Mining Company of the Great Japanese Empire".
And the reason why he was favored by Masaharu Honma was that in addition to his Japanese identity, he was also familiar with the Philippines. He was able to recruit enough men to dig up the copper mines, which were extremely important to Japan.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency! His Majesty the Emperor has appointed you as the commander of the Imperial Philippine Dispatch Force, which is undoubtedly a supreme honor! The subordinates only wish the general Wu Yun prosperity! Make another great contribution! ”
"Hahaha...... Tanaka! You're really good at talking and getting things done! "Honma Masaharu is obviously very happy, his current rank is already a general. And his identity has changed from the commander of the front army to the commander of the dispatch army, with greater authority and higher status.
Masaharu Honma is 1.8 meters tall, tall and looks personable. He studied at Oxford University in England and liked to paint and write poetry, which was very famous among the Japanese army, so he was known as the "poet general".
"Tanaka. I've received a message from Basecamp. They want us to get the mines productive as soon as possible, and the Empire now needs a lot of minerals to support our plans to conquer Asia and the world! And as long as you do what I have told you, then you will also be rewarded by the Empire! ”
Masaharu Honma seems to see a bright future beckoning to her. That's all it takes to mine those ores! Isn't that a simple thing to do?! If these things are done well, then it may not be possible for him to touch the position of the marshal in the future.
"Hay! Please rest assured, Your Excellency the General, Tanaka will definitely die for the empire! Tanaka Nosuke was obviously excited, and said loudly to Masaharu Honma, "General, then please escort those prisoners over!" I'm going to prepare for mining now. If you want to send more ore to the empire, you can't do less! ”
Honma Masaharu nodded in agreement, walked over and patted Tanaka Nosuke's shoulder and said with a smile, "Tanaka, you can rest assured in terms of manpower!" We will provide you with enough manpower. That's all I want. Now that the Empire needs these resources, the more you can give, the greater the merit! Do you understand?! ”
"Hail!!"
The same scene is happening in Singapore, but this time the name in front of Yamashita is Naru Shimazaki. He's shouting yes. And promised that he would provide the empire with a lot of resources.
Of course, the premise is that Yamashita Fubun needs to ensure that the manpower is absolutely sufficient. Yamashita Fengfumi, who had tens of thousands of captives in his hands, didn't care about this, and he couldn't care either.
Now that Japan's scarcity of supplies has reached the point of exhaustion, everyone knows that if there are no supplies to go back, then the whole of Japan may collapse.
"Shimazaki! Well done. As long as you complete the mission, then I will ask the base camp for credit for you! ”
"Hail!!" Shimazaki excitedly and slowly withdrew from Yamashita Fengfumi's headquarters. No one noticed a strange smile on his lips.
A piece of information gathered softly and quickly with the radio waves to the imperial capital, and a large group of people in the telecommunications room here were constantly busy. From time to time, these translated telegrams were sent to the General Staff next door.
There was a huge map and a large sand table, densely covered with flags. Dozens of staff officers with the rank of major, lieutenant colonel and even colonel sweated profusely, constantly simulating something in this stuffy house.
Now this place is mainly managed by Su Zongzhe, and the commander-in-chief Tu Mengben has left here to go to Jia Xiaohou's scientific research institute to closely monitor the research and development progress of the new fighter with them.
Now this is the top priority of the Wehrmacht, and if this fighter is successfully developed, it will be a qualitative leap for the Wehrmacht's combat effectiveness. A lot of steel and aluminum will be used elsewhere. The cost savings for the Wehrmacht are enormous.
In the machine repair room of the R&D Institute, Shen Hong, with red eyes, constantly comparing design drawings and directing workers to modify a tiger head moth. Cannons, rocket launchers, machine guns, bomb magazines...... And so on and so on a mess of a bunch.
There are also several such tiger moths being modified at the site, and they are testing how to modify them to maximize the effectiveness of the tiger moth and ensure its flexible characteristics.
Jia Xiaohou is now in the office constantly discussing the modification of the design drawings with the engineers. Empty aircraft and retrofit weapons are different concepts. It is necessary to take into account the control of the aircraft and the laying of lines.
Weapons installation, communications equipment, ammunition quantities...... And so on, this series of problems must be taken into account, the most serious is that the tiger moth is a wooden aircraft. If you are not careful, it will probably burn in the air on its own due to a problem with the weapon.
After a few hours, various plans were worked out. Jia Xiaohou leaned back in his chair tiredly, after all, he was no longer young. He did this day and night, and his body couldn't bear it at all.
"Mr. Baoshu, you better rest for a while......" Looking at Jia Xiaohou's tired appearance, Tu Mengben was a little unbearable. Whispered comfort. Jia Xiaohou, on the other hand, shook his head and raised his godless eyes to look at the commander-in-chief.
"When we rest here, the fighters at the front will shed more blood. I can't do this kind of thing, Jia Baoshu can't do it......" Jia Xiaohou stood up and cleaned up the messy design drawings on the table and was about to walk out.
"We have to figure out the best solution as soon as possible to provide the best weapons for the fighters." Jia Xiaohou held those blueprints in his arms and said to Tu Mengben firmly: "This is the only thing I can do for the soldiers, and it is also what those of us who do scientific research should do." ”
Tu Mengben looked at Jia Xiaohou's back, his mood was complicated, and he was silent for a long time, and in the end, all his thoughts could only turn into a doctor's sigh.
Tu Sanpao Pao Ye has been very bored in the United States recently, and he left the army without burning knives, and Sanpao felt that he had nothing to do. Colt was very kind and invited him to go hunting a few times.
But when the uncle thought that Lei Mingdeng had no skills and was not addicted to hunting, and roared angrily and stabbed a black bear with a red tassel spear with an ash pole, Colt in the wind decided never to take this uncle to hunt again.
He played so excitingly, so exciting that Colt, who likes excitement, felt terrified. But the third cannon uncle didn't care, his spear stabbed extremely accurately, directly through the eye, disturbed the brain and killed the black bear, but did not hurt the other fur.
Then he directly skinned the bear and made it into a bearskin coat and gave it to the aging Situ Meitang, which broke the old Situ Le. He had a bearskin coat, but it was rare to see it so complete.
Mrs. Song did not have such a good life as Uncle Sangun, and after Churchill's envoy came to Washington, Roosevelt led the three parties to start talks on mutual cooperation.
This kind of negotiation has always been extremely difficult, and it is the first time that Mrs. Song has experienced such a difficult negotiation. The British arrogantly demanded that the Wehrmacht send troops to rescue the British and Australian prisoners of war trapped in Singapore.
At the same time, the National Defense Force was called upon to send troops to ensure India's security and open the road from Burma to India. These Mrs. Song must not be able to agree directly, why should they save you British people in vain?!
Roosevelt did not make any excessive demands, but he also hoped that the Wehrmacht would hold back the Japanese from having the spare strength to attack Australia. At the same time, try to free the captured Allied soldiers.
"Your Excellency, we can try to free those soldiers. But not now. Mrs. Song did not refuse, but said tactfully: "There are still a large number of Japanese troops entrenched in our country's territory, and we need to clean them out before we can free up our hands to deal with other things......
"Mrs. Song! Don't think we don't know, you still have a lot of troops left! The British envoy was obviously very annoyed by Mrs. Song's answer, and replied loudly: "You have all sent a legion of troops to Tibet, do you think we don't know?!" ”
"What I want to tell you, Mr. Special Envoy, is: first of all, this is the internal affair of our country! The Tibetan area belongs to our country, and some of your actions there can be regarded as not happening. Mrs. Song took a deep breath: "But please don't think that we don't know anything!" ”
"I repeat again, before we completely dismantle the Japanese forces in China. It was impossible for the Wehrmacht to wage a large-scale war against Japanese forces in other areas. Madame Song still kept her smile, but her tone was so resolute: "Only after we have dealt with those Japanese soldiers will we have the strength to do other things." ”
"As for the captured Allied soldiers, we will do our best to rescue them, in order to show our sincerity. We will rescue some of the captured generals first. Mrs. Song looked at Roosevelt and said softly, "Mr. President, I hope you can understand our difficulties." Now we are in the stage of a decisive battle with the Japanese army in China, and it is impossible to draw out our troops. ”
"Ma'am, how long will it take you to complete your plan?!" Roosevelt still hoped that the Wehrmacht would be able to be drawn out to fight in Southeast Asia: "We need your contribution in the Southeast Asian theater, after all, you are the most powerful force there." ”
"I'll call our chairman and commander-in-chief and ask." Mrs. Song was silent for a while, and then said to Roosevelt: "Only they can guarantee this matter. (To be continued.) )
