Chapter Seventy-Seven: Rowling's Persistence

"Outside the nickname, the thunder broke through the east with one blow."

"In addition to the nickname, General Zhao Zhi personally led a large army to cross the sea to fight, and captured the Japanese emperor alive three days ago."

"In addition to the nickname, the American Allied forces have assembled a large army to land in Tokyo Bay, and at this moment they are waving their troops north to besiege Tokyo, and the day of surrender of the Japanese is approaching." Early in the morning, Chongqing was full of crisp cheers from newspaper boys, and pedestrians on the streets, whether they denied the words, would pay money to buy a copy of today's newspaper, and even some young people who looked like students were standing in the downtown area at the moment reading aloud the newspaper report, the content of which was naturally about the capture of the Japanese emperor alive by Thunder, and the onlookers cheered and cheered.

"This Boyuan, this is forcing the government to make a statement." Chiang Kai-shek's desk was already full of today's newspapers, and the front pages of these newspapers were without exception to the news of Thunder's capture of the Japanese emperor alive. Chiang Kai-shek did not know that this matter was not the work of Zhao Zhi, and that the news offensive was led by Rowling and her staff who had just arrived in Kunming, and that the Japanese side had secretly sent representatives to contact the Nationalist Government in order to resolve the local crisis, in an attempt to return the troops outside the border in exchange for a truce from the Nationalist Government.

It would be good if the Japanese army really returned to Guanwai, but there was a separate clause in their agreement, that is, the two divisions of the Kwantung Army would be stationed in Jiaodong for at least half a year, and Japan was willing to pay two brigades of heavy weapons and equipment in exchange. Zhao Zhi was generous to the unification of the army, including the director Dai Li, who had taken a lot of benefits from Zhao Zhi, not to mention that more than eighty percent of the action teams of the military unification were trained by Thunder. Therefore, the news of Japan's secret peace talks with the Nationalist Government was sent to Rowling at the first time, and the news of Thunder's capture of the emperor alive in the Chongqing newspaper was only the beginning of Rowling's counterattack, and anyone who dared to endanger Zhao Zhi would be retaliated against by Rowling.

If the Nationalist Government insists on negotiating a truce with Japan, then they will inevitably lose the support and trust of the people, and Zhao Zhi has no choice but to withdraw from the Japanese mainland by privately armistice with Japan, whether to fight Japan or not is not a loss to the Thunder, anyway, Zhao Zhi has already scavenged a lot of good things from Kyushu Island, if you count the factory facilities dismantled by Brayman from Nagasaki, Thunder is definitely capable of turning Vietnam into the cradle of South Asian industry.

Chiang Kai-shek was not a good military strategist, but he could be regarded as a qualified politician, and from the fact that Chongqing's large and small newspapers focused on the thunder incident at the same time, Chiang Kai-shek had already come to a conclusion that this matter must be inseparable from the thunder. But what can be done, the people already know the news that the Japanese emperor was captured alive by the thunder, and this news has been spread in a very short time, and I believe that it will not be long before everyone in the national control area will know about it.

Chiang Kai-shek could only smile bitterly at this, but Rowling, who was sitting in Kunming, did not want to end it so hastily, and in the early morning of the next day, more than a dozen fighters escorted two bombers from Kunming Airport to fly directly to Qinglongping Airport in Shanxi. Thunder has already handed over Qinglongping to the control of the Nationalist Government, but Thunder's fighters can be replenished and docked at Qinglongping Airport at any time, and these fighters will stay at Qinglongping Airport for one night, and then fly to Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places in the early morning of the next day, and the bomber's cabin is loaded not with bombs, but with a lot of mimeographed leaflets, the content of which is naturally the news about Thunder's capture of the Japanese emperor alive.

"It is to let the spread of this news be known to passers-by, only in this way can the Nationalist Government resolutely resist the war to the end, if they choose to stop fighting with the Japanese army or passively slack off, then the Japanese army can draw more troops from the Chinese battlefield to help their homeland, which is absolutely not allowed." Luo Lin is well aware of the pressure that Zhao Zhi is currently facing in Japan, Zhao Zhi can now use less than 50,000 absolute troops in Japan, and Japan has transferred no less than 12 divisions from Northeast China and Korea to return to the mainland, plus those militia units in Japan, Zhao Zhi and they may be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army at any time.

Zhao Zhi is her own man, so Rowling absolutely does not allow anything to endanger Zhao Zhi's safety, after the news of the Nationalist Government's private contact with the Japanese envoy reached Mandalay, Rowling ignored the fact that she was pregnant, insisted on rushing to Kunming with her staff, and she wanted to let Japan's attempt to truce with the Nationalist Government can only exist in the imagination.

"Let's send out the Burmese mercenary unit in Yangquan, they have been idle for too long, it's time to go out and do activities." Luo Lin, who arranged the propaganda war, was not satisfied, and directly mobilized the Burmese mercenary troops deployed in Yangquan in the name of Zhao Zhi to enter the Hebei region and take the initiative to find the Japanese army to fight. Zhao Zhi organized a total of three groups of Burmese natives to enter the mercenary army, after several battles, there are about 130,000 Burmese mercenaries who can continue to train in Yangquan alive, and the spoils of thunder are enough to arm these Burmese mercenaries to the teeth, and the same number of Jin Sui troops are not their opponents now.

If Rowling's dispatch of fighter planes to Qinglongping could not alert the Ministry of Military Affairs, then her mobilization of Burmese mercenary troops into Hebei would have made the people of the Ministry of Military Affairs know her true intentions. "Does this foreign woman think that China is her backyard? It's just playing the piano indiscriminately, lawless. He Yingqin, who led the peace talks with Japan, was furious, and it would be good for the Nationalist Government to have an early truce, at least the Nationalist Government now needs to recuperate and accumulate strength, but Rowling's action has made the peace talks tend to be aborted.

The topic of peace talks with Japan has been discussed for a long time in the Ministry of Military Affairs, and not all of them agree to an armistice with the Japanese army, the United States has already joined the war against Japan, and seeing that the Japanese army's strength is already stretched, why should they negotiate an armistice with Japan at this time? The news of the sudden appearance of thunder in the newspapers in Chongqing to capture the Japanese emperor alive made the people of the military and political department waver, and since Zhao Zhi had already captured the Japanese emperor alive, there was no need to negotiate a truce with Japan, and Japan's surrender was only a matter of time.

"I don't think there is any need to make mushrooms with the Japanese, we should reorganize our arms and war, actively contain more Japanese puppet army units in the country, and attract the attention of the Japanese army for Zhao Zhi's operations in Japan. At the meeting convened by He Yingqin, different voices finally appeared, and there was more than one military bigwig who held this view.

They are all veteran generals in the army, and these military bigwigs are all clear about the Japanese coming to negotiate an armistice, and at first they did not raise objections just for their own interests, but now that the Japanese have lost their qualifications for peace talks, they have to think about their reputation, and besides, the surrender of the Japanese does not affect their vested interests. For the several military bigwigs who objected at the meeting, He Yingqin could only despise these guys who saw the wind and steered in his heart, how did he get to the end, and he became the character who was not a person inside and outside.

The controversy, or the endless debate, the meeting of the Ministry of Military Affairs did not reach a clear conclusion in the end, but the military commanders sent the minutes of the meeting to Chiang Kai-shek. After reading the entire meeting minutes, Chiang Kai-shek's face was a little ugly, he didn't expect that there were still people in the Ministry of Military Affairs who were still thinking about negotiating an armistice with the Japanese, didn't they know that the juicing had already captured the Japanese emperor and the cabinet ministers? "Niang Xipi, a bunch of waste, rice buckets, all rice buckets." Chiang Kai-shek was furious, and directly ordered the military commander to arrest and lock up those guys who insisted on making peace with the Japanese.

"These people are really, Boyuan led people to fight so hard in Japan, they are good, and they still want to stop the war with the Japanese, don't they know that this is just a delaying tactic by the Japanese. As long as the Japanese army solves Boyuan in the body, it will still fight us in the future, these truths that even children know, these people in high positions will not know, I think they have received the benefits of the Japanese, give me a hard investigation, it doesn't matter how many deaths. "Chiang Kai-shek was really ruthless, and he scared Dai Li enough.

"Okay, don't be angry, you don't know Boyuan's methods, if he is not ten percent sure, he dares to go to Japan to fight with only so many soldiers? I dare to say that Boyuan definitely has a trick, you just wait for him to send the Japanese emperor to Chongqing. Song Meiling can think about it, she and Rowling sent a lot of telegrams back and forth yesterday, Song Meiling already has a bottom in her heart, as long as the Americans start to land on the mainland, Japan will really have to surrender.

Song Meiling had absolute confidence in Zhao Zhi, but Zhao Zhi, who was in Hiroshima, lost confidence in the battle situation for the first time, he only had 20,000 Jewish troops and thousands of thunder mercenaries at hand, and then there were only those mixed troops who could only serve as guards and baggage tasks. In just two days after entering Hiroshima, Zhao Zhi's troops had exchanged fire with two Japanese divisions one after another, although it was the Korean division and regiment troops that Japan had drawn from Korea nearby, but the casualties of the Jewish troops had increased to as much as 30 percent, and if the fight continued like this, his 20,000 Jewish troops might suffer 6 percent casualties before Zhao Zhi arrived in Hyogo Prefecture.

The lack of troops is a big problem for Zhao Zhi now, and the 200,000 reserve mercenaries gathered along the coast of Vietnam have not yet boarded the ship, and it will take at least a week for them to reach the Japanese mainland. But the current situation did not allow Zhao Zhi to hold out for a week, unless Zhao Zhi gave up the confrontation with the Japanese army and turned to guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army, his troops could only stop in Hiroshima Prefecture, and he would face more Japanese troops to besiege him.
