Chapter 162 The Wolf of the Huangpu River

A few days passed in the bustling atmosphere of the logistics department.

Today, Huang He got up early again because he and the brigade commander agreed to test the performance of new weapons together.

For a soldier, cherishing equipment is to cherish his life, and protecting equipment is to maintain victory. As one of the two main forces of the 129th Division, the brigade commander naturally came to see the new equipment.

After all, weapons and equipment can be regarded as the second life of a soldier and the closest comrade on the battlefield.

But I don’t know if there was any emergency. The brigade commander broke the appointment at the agreed time.

However, Huang He didn’t care too much about this matter. Now is the planning stage of the second phase of the Hundred Regiments Campaign, and officers and soldiers above the regiment level are very busy.

It doesn’t matter if you come early or late, it doesn’t matter if you come early or late. Just when he finished lunch and was about to return to his laboratory, the sound of a Japanese truck engine came from a distance.

Originally, this sound did not attract Huang He’s attention.

After all, after the first phase of the Hundred Regiments Campaign, the three main forces seized some of the devil’s trucks and three-wheeled vehicles. Recently, the transportation team of the logistics department has used these vehicles to transport supplies.

But the truck was obviously coming towards him, so Huang He simply stopped there to see if it was someone he knew, maybe it was the brigade commander and his men.

As expected, when the Type 94 truck stopped, Li Yunlong's devilish laughter came out.

"Old Huang! Our Li is here to see you! Look at what treasure I brought you! I spent a lot of effort to get this thing, you will definitely like it."

Following the source of the sound, Huang He found that the other party was holding a somewhat special Japanese command knife.

After a closer look, he found that the material of the knife handle seemed to be ivory. Judging from the gold color on the inside of the knife thread and the relatively delicate decorative patterns, it should be a general's knife.

Huang He was very moved by this somewhat unexpected gift. He had only mentioned that he wanted to play with the Japanese command knife before, but he didn't expect that his cheap fellow villager would actually get one.

But at this moment, the brigade commander suddenly walked out from the co-pilot seat with a serious face, as if something big had happened. He pushed Captain Li away, and then said without looking back:

"Li Yunlong, go park the car. Leaving it here will affect the work of our comrades. After you are done, come to the laboratory to meet us. I have something important to discuss with Deputy Minister Huang."

This official tone scared Huang He a little. For a time, he felt that Kang SIR was going to attack him. He cast an inquiring look at Li Yunlong, but the other party was confused and didn't know what happened.

The current scene made Lao Li realize that the brigade commander must have something in his mind. After all, the two of them hardly said a few words on the way to the logistics department.

Thinking of this, he used his eyes to signal his fellow villager not to be afraid, and gestured that he would be back as soon as possible.

On the way, the two did not have any verbal communication, and finally they arrived in Huang He's study. The brigade commander sat on the stool next to the desk first, and then took out a crumpled paper from his arms. The grip marks on it showed the original owner's fluctuating heart.

"Come and have a look, something big has happened."

Hearing this, Huang He hurriedly took the information, but he couldn't help but exclaimed after just a glance.

A line of big words was written on the paper:

The diplomatic representatives of the three countries, San Dezi, Yi Dai and Xiao Ri Zi, signed the "Tripartite Pact of Germany, Italy and Japan" in Berlin an hour ago, establishing a military group with the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis as the core.

The original origin of the name of the axis is because Berlin and Rome are on the same longitude line.

As a time traveler, Huang He is not unfamiliar with this major event.

After all, this treaty has a great impact on the future direction of the world situation. It not only strengthens the connection between the three countries of France and the four countries, but also promotes the union of China, the Soviet Union, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Huang He already understood why the brigade commander sent Li Yunlong away. Although the other party is a good commander and fighter, he can be said to be completely ignorant of the international situation.

Instead of letting him make a fuss next to him, it is better to let Lao Li play first.

Just as Huang He was about to express his own views on this matter, the worried brigade commander spoke first, and said to Huang He bitterly:

"I am not simply troubled by this matter. After all, the three countries coming together is a good thing for us in some ways."

"The reason why I am so worried is that there are signs of the United Germany in Guosu during this period. Even our intelligence network and spy network have received relevant information that the little mustache is ready to mediate the Sino-Japanese War."

"Now the attitude of the bald man is a little ambiguous. I am worried that he will do something out of line."

After hearing this, Huang He immediately understood what the brigade commander was worried about. Although Shanxi Province is thousands of miles away from the European battlefield, any soldier will pay attention to this kind of big battle.

The brigade commander believes that San Dezi will go to war with the bear sooner or later.

After all, in the war with Britain, those invincible armies have no stage to perform. In order to get more resources and development space, in addition to Africa, the little mustache will sooner or later fight with the big mustache.

After the establishment of the Three Kingdoms Axis, other countries in the world have to face the problem of choosing sides. After all, the war is escalating and will sooner or later become the situation of the last war.

The current Three Kingdoms seem to be in a strong momentum. After annexing Gaul, they look like they are invincible in Europe.

But once it becomes Germany, Italy, and Japan vs. Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, in this case, the brigade commander is more optimistic about the latter.

Although the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and Guofu is very delicate, it has to be admitted that Guofu still represents the Republic of China in the international arena at this stage.

If the bald man wants to join the axis, he must sell out the interests of many countries and reach some kind of conditions with Japan to sell his country for glory. He even has to face the three superpowers of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union.

By then, the Republic of China is likely to become a defeated country, and it will most likely be divided up again. Such a situation is something that no one wants to see.

After understanding what the other party is worried about, Huang He immediately prescribed the right medicine and expressed his views.

"Brigade Commander, I think you are too concerned. Baldy will most likely not accept Sandezi's mediation."

"If he had the idea of ​​compromise, he would have surrendered after Jinling and Jiangcheng failed. Why would he insist on it until now?"

"Based on my understanding of Baldy, he is most likely just pretending to make those who are watching the show anxious to get out of the game early. After all, if Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union knew that Guoju might reconcile with Xiaorizi, they would definitely try their best to stop it."

As the person who carried Baldy on the Eastern Expedition, the brigade commander knew this person very well. After hearing Huang He's words, he immediately understood it as if he had been enlightened.

Dai Ying has vast colonies in Southeast Asia. His global hegemony policy needs the raw materials and market support of the colonies, otherwise he will not be able to carry out the global trade model of charging processing fees.

Dai Ying's territory is on the island. In order to avoid any absolute power on the land, they have always pursued a continental balance policy. This trick was used to deal with Gallic chickens in the past, but after the death of Na Huang, Gallic chickens slowly withered.

Later, the bear gradually rose, and Daiying and Gaul tried to cultivate San Dezi to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf.

These two guys sold one country after another with the policy of following the border, indulged San Dezi's aggression, until now the situation has become out of control.

After all, they shouted every day that there are no eternal friends but only eternal interests, and now it is normal to commit suicide.

After the establishment of the Three Kingdoms Axis, Xiaoshi directly threatened Southeast Asia. They have taken down the territory that originally belonged to Gaul, so why can't they continue to invade.

In this situation, the only one who can stop the devil is the Republic of China. If the bald head joins the axis, Daiying must fight on two fronts.

In order to avoid this situation, these vampires of the old era will definitely desperately help the preserved fruit.

The purpose of the ugly country is even stronger. The reasons why Master Luo chose to support San Dezi are as follows.

First, it is to replace Daiying and Gaul. After all, when the First World War ended, the GDP of the ugly country was the first in the world. A real man lives in the world, how can he be depressed and live under others for a long time.

Second, in order to make money, Master Luo armed San Dezi with technology, funds, and policies.

Without the help of the Ugly Country, the little mustache might not be able to climb out of the economic crisis. It is impossible for Mei Fujuan to be invincible alone.

They also provided a large amount of material supply to Benzi, and continued to sell scrap steel and crude oil during the war.

Then, through the financial market, they recognized the IOU signed by Benzi at the arms dealer Sandezi, and indirectly provided Benzi with weapons and equipment through the little mustache.

Simply put, the Ugly Country lent money to Benzi to let them buy weapons and ammunition from Sandezi, and one sum of money to support two younger brothers.

The third is to contain the bear. In order to strengthen Benzi, Master Luo even acquiesced that Xiao Rizi could eat up part of the interests of the Republic of China, so that he had the economy and resources to deal with the bear.

Although they planned well, the development of Xiao Rizi was completely beyond the control of the Ugly Country. If Benzi was allowed to expand, it would definitely affect its own interests.

So Master Luo would definitely help the preserved fruit.

The bear's idea was simpler. The big mustache simply did not want to fight on two fronts.

After the establishment of the Three Kingdoms Axis, the Soviet-German alliance expected by countries around the world did not appear, and the bear knew that he would have to fight with Sandezi.

If they fight, Benzi is an ally of Sandezi, and it is very likely that he will be attacked from both sides.

Although the iron torrent rushed Xiao Baga to death in the Battle of Nomonhan. But Xiao Rizi's most elite Kwantung Army has been on guard in the three northeastern provinces. Isn't it clear what the intention is?

So in order to contain Xiao Rizi, the big bearded man must provide assistance. The reason why it is Guofu instead of the Eighth Route Army is that no one cares about color in front of their own interests.

The current situation is simply the comfort zone of the bald man.

The three superpowers all need him, and at this time he can put on a posture of rare goods.

As long as he keeps an ambiguous relationship with Sandezi and makes Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union unable to guess his ideas, they will obediently send money to him.

But if those countries know that they will fight to the death against Japan, they are likely to only indirectly give Guofu some assistance to keep him alive.

After a brief exchange, Huang He immediately untied the knot in the brigade commander's heart.

But just when the other party was about to happily test the new weapon, the next sentence made the brigade commander silent and broke his defense.

"After the bald man gets the aid, we have to be more careful. Not only do we have to be careful, but the Fourth Master also has to be cautious. After all, everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions."

As soon as this sentence was said, the brigade commander's expression turned from sunny to cloudy. Everyone remembered what the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region encountered in the first half of this year.

He thought for a minute but could not find a suitable solution, so he could only bring the problem to the headquarters for discussion.

Just when the atmosphere in the study was awkward, Li Yunlong, who was eavesdropping at the door, suddenly entered the room.

Although Old Li didn't understand these messy things very well. But he had a high EQ and knew that he had to liven up the atmosphere now.

Captain Li walked into the room with Katayama Shotaro's general's sword, and then slapped the sword on the table and said boldly:

"Old Huang! Look at this sword. Is it big? Is it long!"

"I prepared this gift specifically for you. Can you exchange it for a fighter plane? If it's not enough, I'll give you ten more Japanese women."

Although he knew that his beloved general was joking, after hearing the other party's nonsense, the brigade commander couldn't help but kick Li Yunlong on the butt.

The room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

——————————————

The capital of the southwest.

Although the bald man was still in the manor he used to be in, he was in high spirits at this moment and felt that he had the whole world in his hands.

As everyone knows, our transport captain has the habit of writing a diary.

With a happy mood, our Wolf of Huangpu River opened his diary and recorded today's mood on it.

"How wonderful! Today, all foreigners need my help! Even the former Tsarist Russia had to bow to me!

Today is different from the past. I am falsely claiming that I need to join the war. I just need to wait for the price to rise and reap the benefits.

Bring the British? Want me to help you? Call Darling first? Don't you know that we have a group of German-equipped divisions in Guojian? What is the relationship between me and the little mustache? If you don't open the Burma Road again! I will surrender to Sandezi!

Mao Xiong, I need your fighter planes! I want high-end ones, don't use old models! Don't embarrass yourself if you don't have hundreds of them! Send me that transportation channel in the northwest! Goods!

You don't want to see the Kwantung Army going north to do something, do you?

Master Luo? I heard that your Philippines is in danger soon? I heard that your little brother is disobedient and wants to rebel? Why don't you send me the P40 quickly! You don't have the army, but we have it!

You bandits and robbers are fucking bitches! Abolish all the previous unequal treaties for me! Otherwise, I will join the Axis tomorrow with my real name system!

What? You think I'm threatening you? Goering has called me for a meeting. Are all your spies good-for-nothings? "

The prayers of a nation cannot exchange for the future of a nation.

Every unyielding ancestor is a hero.

There is indeed aid, but it is mainly for their own interests.
