Chapter 448 to accelerate expansion

"It's almost dawn!"

The Germans still attacked Poland at 4:45. In less than ten minutes, the confirmed news was urgently transmitted to Meng Xiang, who had been waiting all night, after circling half the world with the radio waves. Finally waited for the news, Meng Xiang stood in front of the window and breathed a long sigh of relief, only to find that a glimmer of dawn had appeared in the sky outside the window.

Although the situation in China at this time has changed beyond recognition with the strength of the vanguard army, and it is no longer as difficult as in the original history, the habits of history are still amazingly strong, and the relatively closed China has not affected much in distant Europe. Factors such as weather, economy, and personnel are also crucial, which also makes it possible for the Germans to be a little better equipped than the original history under the golden finger of Meng Xiang, but it was still not until September 1 that the old order collapsed in iron and fire.

The history is so big that Meng Xiang has a little more haze in his heart, and he is also relieved. Many things in World War II were not something he could control at this time, and influence sometimes did not mean that it could be changed. The light of the golden finger can still shine on the path of history, but it also means that it will be more difficult to change some history.

"Whatever, let them fight you to the death, anyway, a little change in Chinese history in your own hands is enough. All that's left is a matter of how much cheaper to pick. "For Huaxia, Meng Xiang, who has an army of more than one million, already has a grasp of control.

When the news came back, Meng Xiang also put down a stone in his heart, at least the existence of the historical golden finger, which is the same anti-heaven existence, is still valid, and the rest is just how to slowly modulate it.

"Where did the second Yamato-class battleship for the Germans go?" Meng Xiang asked the rat who was accompanying him next to him. Before the outbreak of World War II, Meng Xiang sent away the second Yamato-class battleship that owed the Germans. Although copycat companies are not afraid of other people's investigations, it is better to avoid some troubles. This second Yamato-class battleship was sent out near World War II, and the impact was also smaller.

As long as the artillery trucks of World War II began to push, they could not be stopped casually.

"It's past the Maldives!" Rat II replied. The second Yamato was still sold through the sub-base in Southeast Asia, and naturally the Germans went back and forth when it was sold, but the money was transferred through the Taiping Bank of the Pioneer Army. Each Yamato was placed on the base's locator, and although it could not be accurately located after running far away, as long as it was still within the control range of 10,000 kilometers of the base, the approximate position on the big screen was still clear at a glance.

"Hmm!" Meng Xiang nodded, and another huge sum of money arrived. It's just that most of them have already bought the equipment and technology of the Germans as collateral for loans.

"I still owe the Americans one. The British also came to inquire that they could give them one first. If it had been given to the Americans, I am afraid that the Japanese would have retracted their courage. And the French and Soviet Russia, which cannot be politely addressed to them. However, the timing of their hands needs to be carefully pondered. Meng Xiang silently calculated in his heart, due to the stimulation of the Germans, the orders for the Yamato soared. Although all countries can make them, after the outbreak of war, those weapons and ship production lines will be occupied, and the copycat company promises a faster delivery time.

"It can only be a little faster, and this is not the time for emergency. When they are almost consumed, when it comes to life and death, I am afraid that even the underwear will be pulled out. So it's not appropriate to place an order like this, it should, yes, it should be auctioned. Meng Xiang, who was originally pressed by the thick sleepiness, suddenly thought of an idea, and immediately cheered up the jīng god, "The one with the highest price wins, the auction is the most cost-effective, it can definitely be maximized, and it is not afraid of the consumption of time." At that time, only the finished product will be auctioned, and there is no need to worry about the base production speed being too fast to attract the attention of others. The origin of many things can also be hidden. ”

However, it seems that it is not appropriate for copycat companies and umbrella companies to come forward, after all, they have already made a lot of marks. With the change of arms, everyone knows that the vanguard army has some relationship with the copycat company, and even if the umbrella company goes to South America with the Chinese to open up the wasteland, it must have some relationship. If you involve too many affairs, it is easy to show your feet in the future.

"Anyway, there are many shadow companies, and they also take care of each other. Let's start anew! After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Xiang finally muttered to himself.

In later generations, there were three major auction houses, none of which were likable. After all, many Chinese cultural relics were auctioned off from there.

Meng Xiang also paid attention to the matter of those bronze heads. The cultural relics that were robbed by other people's grandparents, and then bought back from other people's grandchildren at a large price, can only be called ransom. It's not such a glorious thing. If the ransom money is used for Huaxia's education investment and people's livelihood, it will be enough to get it back when Huaxia is strong and the storage fee is added. Some accounts are not time-defying.

In this time and space, Meng Xiang may get many opportunities to take advantage of the robbery in World War II. When the time comes, not only will we have to snatch back the things of our ancestors, but we will also take the opportunity to collect more Western artworks.

World gold, prosperous antiques. Although the price of these works of art fell sharply during World War II, the price doubled after World War II. Meng Xiang knew the high price of art auctions in later generations. It is not uncommon for more than 100 million dollars to be auctioned.

With these, you also need to have a sales channel, and it is not bad to set up an auction company.

After Meng Xiang decided, he opened two more at once in a series of orders. There is a Sotheby's in London, and Meng Xiang took advantage of this to open a Sabi auction house, and there is also a Christie's in London, so Meng Xiang opened a new Guardian auction house. Later generations had many suspicions about the names of these two of the world's four major auction houses, but no one knew that it was just a prank joke by Meng Xiang.

At this time, he just needs to have such a sign, and the auction house is only used to auction weapons.

The early years of World War II were a time of attrition. With years of accumulation, various countries can support it for a period of time. During this time, Meng Xiang will never go up to make a living, he just needs to follow the Germans to reap the benefits. The Germans needed more weapons, and the Chinese needed more machines and supplies.

However, with the acceleration of the pace of World War II, the strength of the vanguard army also needs to be continuously improved, so that it can have more say in the future cake-sharing activities. This requires the vanguard army to be stronger, whether it is the need to upgrade the base, or to change Huaxia, which requires more territory, more population, and more resources.

With Yan Xishan's help, the Central Army's occupation of Yuncheng and other places did not last long. These areas have been looted by the devils for a while, and when they are close to the vanguard army, they can't stop the soldiers from sneaking to the vanguard army. Coupled with Yan Xishan's move of popular autonomy, under the suppression of the vanguard army, the Central Army had to cede these areas.

The whole of Shanxi, except for the vicinity of Zhongtiao Mountain, fell into the hands of the vanguard army.

"Nakajo Mountain can't be let go either. There's a big copper mine there. Meng Xiang suddenly thought that the copper mines in Zhongtiao Mountain were more famous in later generations, and there were not too many copper ore resources on the territory of the vanguard army at this time. Several small mining areas are mined, and the reserves are too small. Besides, the devils have been driven out, and it's not the same thing for the Central Army to squat there.

"As soon as the subsistence allowance policy was implemented, coupled with the new recruitment measures, they couldn't stay there. It won't take long to withdraw! Tang Shile said. Some time ago, it was not only Yan Xishan who was affected by the vanguard army's troops, but all the surrounding forces had losses. The Central Army was no exception.

It's okay to be confined in the barracks for a while, but for a long time, where can you manage it? As long as it takes a long time, the vanguard army will have no problem digesting all these soldiers. The Central Army does not have a very good way to deal with it, and it will be withdrawn soon.

"Hmm!" Meng Xiang nodded, and said, "We need to start in three aspects next. ”

"The first is to stabilize the Shanxi and Henan regions, and to rely on the method of subsistence allowance and people's autonomy to bring the adjacent territories into our hands." Since Yan Xishan proposed the implementation of the law of people's self-government, Meng Xiang has gone a step further and combined universal suffrage at the township and village level with it.

Many people in the vicinity are looking forward to the subsistence allowance, and as long as the vanguard army calls, these places will elect candidates for the vanguard army and fall into the jurisdiction of the vanguard army. It's just that universal suffrage, placement, and governance need to involve a lot of jīng forces and personnel, and the vanguard army can't mobilize so many jīng forces, so they have to encroach on it little by little.

However, it is also easy to lay a solid foundation, and you can take steps to eliminate many hidden dangers. The more this is the case, the less good the other people have to deal with it, and other forces are also very good at surviving and taking root in this situation.

"Now Henan's Funiu Mountain needs to be controlled in our hands, and Luoyang and other places can also slowly penetrate the past. Strive to control it all the way to Tongguan. Strive to win over Wei Lihuang a few more times. Meng Xiang continued, not hiding his ambition in front of several people. In fact, everyone is more urgent than him, and the strength of the vanguard army at this time is already stronger than that of the central army, and it is not an exaggeration to replace it.

It's just that Meng Xiang took into account that the transition of the regime is prone to cause some extreme instability, and at this time the Chinese economy has begun to erode. At this time, Meng Xiang did not have the ability to take care of the development of the whole of Huaxia, so Lao Jiang Ding was still in front of him to take on the infamy, and he hid aside to gradually expand his strength and make a smooth transition.

During this period, it was also necessary to fight with different forces, and it was not only Lao Jiang who stood in front of Meng Xiang.

Yan Xishan's return to obedience was somewhat unexpected by Meng Xiang, and it was difficult for such a big man to be subservient. The focus of his wooing at that time was on Wei Lihuang.

Wei Lihuang, who was able to get Xiangyue Qingsi to praise as a tiger general, was not a descendant of Lao Jiang, and he also had some discord with He Yingqin, but he was only able to stand out, plus he had deep qualifications as a guard for Sun Center, and was appointed by Lao Jiang as the commander of the first war zone, and became a second-class general at the same time as Meng Xiang.

At this time, Meng Xiang had already ascended to the threshold of a first-class general, and he only needed a little time. After all, it has only been a few months since he was promoted to a second-level general, although the Central Plains War has a remarkable record and can be promoted by surprise during the war, but except for Lao Jiang's special general, even if it is capped, and Meng Xiang is young, the central government naturally needs to be cautious. Therefore, Meng Xiangcai can only be regarded as a reserve first-class general.

Lao Jiang also sent someone to explain that as soon as he passed thirty, he would be given the rank of first-class general. This also made Meng Xiang speechless, when others asked about his age, he said that 26 years old was calculated as 11 years. According to this calculation, it will take two years to officially become a first-class general.

Although Meng Xiang was a little depressed, he enjoyed the treatment of a first-class general, and others didn't know how envious he was. Even when Wei Lihuang chatted with him, he was full of jokes.

The vanguard army is very popular, this is the consensus of everyone. Wei Lihuang was so close to each other, and he often went over to contact him and fight the autumn wind. The vanguard army also took good care of the surrounding anti-Japanese troops, and in addition to some cheap weapons, there were also some gifts. Although the combat effectiveness of other anti-war teams is much worse, it is no problem to contain the devils. At a critical time, it can also make the devil suffer a big loss.

During the Central Plains War and the recovery of Shanxi, the vanguard army and Wei Lihuang's central army cooperated a lot, and the two sides also often corresponded.

Wei Lihuang was very envious of the equipment of the vanguard army, but the tone of solicitation that the vanguard army occasionally revealed before was rejected by him. He was a second-class general and a commander of a theater of operations, and he was a little unwilling to succumb to the vanguard army. Besides, the Central Army is orthodox after all, and he has been through ups and downs since he followed Sun Yat-sen, and he will not leave the Central Party lightly.

However, Yan Xishan's reversal gave everyone a great shock, and many people began to reconsider the issue of standing between the Central Army and the Vanguard Army. Wei Lihuang is no exception, his soldiers come from several aspects, and there are not many who are really in control. Even tens of thousands of people are not a fraction of the million-strong army of the vanguard army.

During this period of time, in the course of his dealings with the vanguard army, the gods had loosened a little. With the establishment of the joint theater of operations, there was also a position commensurate with his status. Meng Xiang estimated that as long as the timing was right, it was possible for Wei Lihuang to take refuge in him. At that time, it saved trouble and could directly take over part of the defensive area of the first war zone.

Of course, Meng Xiang did not pin all his hopes on subduing Wei Lihuang, Lao Jiang definitely had a backhand by Wei Lihuang's side. Relying entirely on Wei Lihuang, it is better to wait until the vanguard army infiltrates and then work together.

I have to say that the move launched by the vanguard army to open up the recruitment of soldiers is very powerful. Yan Xishan realized the power of this method, so he returned to his heart in advance, otherwise this method with the subsistence allowance would definitely crush any team.

The treatment of the vanguard army itself is good, plus the subsistence allowance and pension solve the problem of the family, so what is there for the soldiers to worry about? Even if the family is no longer on the territory of the Pioneer Army, it can be seen that with the expansion of the Pioneer Army, it will one day fight to the hometown. As a result, in the past two months since the promulgation of the vanguard army, the surrounding central army has suddenly lost more than 50,000 troops, and this is still the result of the central army looking bad and adopting tough measures to stop the soldiers.

But this situation can't be stopped, and no one else can do it. I can't fight, and I can't beat it; To be reasonable, the vanguard army is not compulsory, it is purely voluntary, and if you have better conditions to retain soldiers, you can naturally use it. But the conditions for the vanguard army are already very high, who can offer such good conditions? Although the attraction is mainly dominated by soldiers and middle and lower-level officers, it is these people who form the cornerstone of an army.

And the tactics of the vanguard army have always been to push with strength. Although there are not too many special officer corps except for Sun Liren, Zhang Lingfu and others, an army armed to the teeth does not need special strategies to make the opponent depressed. Just like the Japanese, there are so many veterans and many excellent officers, but they are also staring at the aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, machine guns, etc. of the vanguard army.

This is known as one force down ten meetings. The Central Army and other forces have no way to deal with this method in the face of the vanguard army with absolute strength, and can only desperately play the emotional card and the ideological education card. But in the eyes of ordinary people, flowers are not as real as flatbread after all. Soldiers are still being lost. And if you want to replenish troops from nearby, you can't bring in people. Many people have heard of the name and policy of the vanguard army, and if you want to be a soldier, you must also be a pioneer army.

As the vanguard army showed more and more its ability to compete for deer, in addition to those who were unwilling, there were more speculators who gambled on their own fate, and they also threw themselves into the arms of the vanguard army. Some hot-blooded young people were even affected by the achievements of the vanguard army and ran one after another. Many intellectuals who were looking for another way in the midst of hardship were also attracted by the rising vanguard. In addition, there are many pawns that others have come over, trying to spy on intelligence and even doves occupy the magpie's nest.

For a time, a large number of mixed people poured into the vanguard army. There are some signs of instability, both in the army and administratively.

However, time waits for no one. As World War II progressed, Meng Xiang couldn't have enough time to sort out these. Since it was promised that those who came over would be incorporated into the military, the construction corps was a large number of miscellaneous figures, which made the vanguard army have a place to diverge. Slightly alleviating the internal contradictions, Meng Xiang continued to look outward.

"Second, our next step is to strengthen the forces of the occupied areas and make them grow stronger in the henchmen of the devils." Meng Xiang continued.

This time, Rat Yi also came to participate. The base areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have gone beyond the direct jurisdiction of the sub-bases of Tianmu Mountain and have expanded to farther places. Due to the withdrawal of the central government, the power of the Central Army was relatively weak, and the devils had not yet attacked there for the time being, so under the expansion of the First Guerrilla Column of the Vanguard Army, which had expanded to 150,000 troops, Jiande, Tonglu, Chun'an and other places had been brought under its rule.

"At this time, the Japanese are short of troops, and they are contained by a joint theater of operations, so your next step is to speed up the pace of expansion. The strength can be expanded by another 50,000, and if there is not enough weapons and ammunition, the theater can help you replenish it. Next, you have to accelerate your expansion to the south and west. You can enter the Jiangxi territory to the west, occupy Jingdezhen and other places, and then control Yingtan, Shangrao and other places. To the south, it is to control Quzhou, Jinhua and other places, and further advance to the area of Kuocang Mountain. Meng Xiang instructed.

Although the base area of the rat is not very large, it has solved many sources of materials in the war zone, and the tea alone has made the people in the war zone no longer complain. Other southern specialties and materials were also sent in a steady stream, and they were exchanged with the northern specialties of the war zone.

"In addition, the next step in the northeast region is to establish a larger base area to attract more resistance forces to join." Meng Xiang said to Wei Han, who also came to the meeting. At this time, the Second Guerrilla Column also gained a foothold in the northeast, but it only occupied the mountains as the king, and the next step was to slowly expand its sphere of influence.

The pace of expansion of the vanguard army will accelerate in the next step.

"Thirdly, we will continue to expand westward." Meng Xiang's words already showed a hint of murderous intent, and the style of the three horses in the west was not as easy to settle as other warlords. The many problems of ethnicity and faith make the relationship there complicated, and if the subsistence allowance policy is implemented, the interests of the three horses will also be mobilized. Even if the three horses were soft for a while, when a big war broke out between the vanguard army and Soviet Russia, if someone stabbed him in the back again, he might be defeated by the ants, so Meng Xiang planned to completely solve these troubles without mercy.

"Zhang Zizhong has arrived at Linhe!" Fan Chong reminded.

"If you add some more people to the past, it will be easy to fight down in the northwest region, but it will be difficult to stabilize it, and it will be difficult to maintain long-term peace and stability if you don't open the killing ring!" Meng Xiang rarely said kill directly.

"At that time, the Shaanxi and Gansu of Tongzhi died tens of millions. If it weren't for Lord Zuo, I was afraid that the sons and daughters of the Han family would have forgotten their ancestors. Tang Shi was also full of emotion, he said that Zuo Zongtang Ping Tongzhi matter, when the Hui and other ethnic groups set off a large-scale slaughter of Han people for ten years, more than 10 million died, and the number of deaths in the later dynasty named after the uprising was more than 20 million. The Shaanxi-Gansu-Han people were almost completely slaughtered, and in the end, those who killed escaped punishment in the name of submission.

Meng Xiang also advocates ethnic equality, but it needs real equality, no specialization, and no need for a giant panda-like protection law. In some areas in the northwest, because of conflicts of interest, they have been grafted onto ethnic contradictions. There are some things that can't be solved without using knives and guns. R
