136. Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Six: The Storm Caused by the Butterfly Effect
April, 1940. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Song Yuanming's mood can be described as mixed.
I am happy for two things. One is that General Chennault is back. After eleven months of arduous negotiations, General Chennault finally succeeded in convincing the US government and brought a large number of retired pilots and four squadrons from the United States.
P-40 fighter jets. They are said to be retired pilots. In fact, most of them are flying hooligans who were expelled from the US Air Force for violating disciplines. These people are aggressive and money-hungry. They will never work for you without the temptation of profit.
. So, Chairman Chiang can only take advantage of him once more. Each person will receive a salary of four hundred dollars per month, and a commission of one hundred dollars for shooting down a Japanese plane. Now this gang of flying hooligans seems to have committed a crime.
The Wolf of the Mountains directly took down eighteen Japanese aircraft in the first month. It must be said that their aircraft technology is still very good. Of course, it would be better if they can charge less money.
Another great news is that the old bastard Neji Okamura is gone, and his replacement is General Hata Junroku of the North China Front. When it comes to the old bastard Neji Okamura, Song Yuanming's teeth itch when he mentions it. This guy adheres to the
The "Sino-Japanese Friendship Policy" is even more terrifying than the inhumane Sanko policy of his predecessor Shun Tada. If you don't believe it, just look at Taiwan today. Lee Teng-hui's grandson is still claiming that he is a descendant of the Japanese. Because Okamura Neji was in Shohoku
Unable to pry open the "Chinese Defense Line" that Song, Yuan and Ming had worked so hard to build, Private Tojo, who was far away in Tokyo, was furious and asked Okamura Neiji to return home to report on his duties. As soon as he returned home, Okamura Neiji was included in the reserve force.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will never be able to set foot on Chinese soil in this life. Shunroku Hata, who is far away in North China, is nothing compared to an old fox like Okamura Neiji. Song Yuanming really doesn't pay attention to this small dish.
superior.
But as the saying goes, good things always come with bad things. It can be said that there is good news here in China, but the United States on the other side of the ocean is not so lucky. On April 21, 1940, an unremarkable
On Sunday, while all the U.S. soldiers in Pearl Harbor were still immersed in sleep, the Japanese task force Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku had led the fleet to approach Oahu with murderous intent. The first wave of attacks was on time at 7:30 in the morning.
Launched, one bomb after another woke up the Americans in their sleep. When they took up arms to resist, they found that almost the entire Pacific Fleet had been wiped out.
The time was advanced by nearly a year, and the losses were much more serious than in the previous life. In addition to the battleships and aircraft of the Pacific Fleet that were bombed into a pile of scrap metal by Japanese bombers, even the four aircraft carriers that narrowly escaped in the previous life were also destroyed by the Japanese.
Two ships were sunk and one was seriously damaged. The U.S. Pacific Fleet is now severely damaged and will not recover unless it takes some time. Americans care more about people than equipment.
In one sneak attack, the US military lost more than 3,000 sailors and more than 1,000 pilots. This was simply digging into the heart of Roosevelt, an old cripple, and then adding a handful of salt. After learning the news from Karen,
, a dense layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on Song Yuanming's back. Could this be the legendary butterfly effect? Because this little butterfly that traveled through time caused such a big storm in Hawaii, the United States!
Already suffering, what will happen to Europe? I don't know why, Song Yuanming unknowingly thought of Okamura Neiji who was deposed from home, and always felt that this man was a big scourge and had to be eliminated.
After the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army immediately pursued their southward policy. After the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong fell into the clutches of the Japanese navy and air force, the Japanese immediately mobilized their troops to attack Myanmar with murderous intent, intending to open the Burma Highway and communicate with China.
The Japanese troops in the country joined forces and wiped out the Nationalist Government in one fell swoop. Seeing that the situation was not good, the British and Burmese governments immediately asked China and the United States for help. After joint discussion, the three countries decided that the United States would provide money, the United Kingdom would provide equipment, and China would provide personnel to form an expeditionary force to go to Burma to jointly
Resist the Japanese attack.
Mentioning the expeditionary force, Song Yuanming couldn't help but smile bitterly. When forming the expeditionary force, Chairman Chiang excluded him without even thinking about it. The reason was simple: fear. Song Yuanming's troops were getting stronger and stronger, and they were becoming more and more disobedient.
, judging from the intelligence from the Military Command Bureau, they had more and more substantial contacts with the Communist Party, and several groups of assassins were sent, but they were all resolved one by one by Song Yuanming. Rather than letting such a disobedient person
When these guys go to the battlefield, it is better to let the more obedient Du Yuming, Sun Liren, and Luo Zhuoying go up. Although they are not as big as Song Yuanming, they are easy to control.
"Song, look at the latest battle report from Myanmar. General Sun Liren has won a great victory in Ren'anqiang. It is known as the 'Dunkirk evacuation of Asia'. Look, this is a newspaper." Karen Xing
Karen rushed in from outside the room, holding an English version of The Times in her hand. After being together for so long, Karen felt that she had completely fallen. The more Song Yuanming looked at him, the more he looked like the legendary Zorro, handsome and powerful.
Romance... Anyway, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Karen saw how Song Yuanming liked it. But Song Yuanming didn't want to get into trouble. Although he liked beauties, he already had enough love debts. An Qing, Liu
Ling, that little pink fox looked at him as if he wanted to eat him alive, and then there was a little foreign girl, and he was afraid that he would really sink.
Karen was not upset about Song Yuanming's rejection of her. Anyway, I have made up my mind to rely on you. What do you want? Seeing the firm look in Karen's eyes, Song Yuanming shook his head silently and took the newspaper.
As soon as he glanced at it, his brows instantly tightened.
The Great Victory of Ren'an and Qiang, as a soldier of the Republic, he naturally had some understanding of that period of history. The Great Victory of Ren'an and Qiang was the greatest victory achieved by the Chinese Expeditionary Force in its first expedition, and was followed by a crushing defeat.
In Savage Mountain, the troops were defeated and returned home in embarrassment. Even Sun Liren's troops who went to India were not much better. No, this history must not be allowed to happen again! After experiencing human tragedies such as the Nanjing Massacre, Song Yuanming decided to make good use of his
The glorious identity of a time traveler, the butterfly effect is just the butterfly effect. When soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up. I don’t believe that I, a modern person, can’t defeat you!
"Karen!" Song Yuanming grabbed Karen's shoulders with such force that Karen frowned. After realizing that his strength was too great, Song Yuanming said sorry, and then said seriously: "Karen, pass
Your family will send a note to the U.S. government and ask them to put pressure on the Nationalist Government to remove Du Yuming, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, within three weeks, and I will take up the post in Burma!"
"But... there's no problem! But you have to be careful and remember to miss me." Karen has been to Myanmar and naturally knows the dangers there. She was about to dissuade her, but she saw the determination in Song Yuanming's eyes.
, the words came to her lips but she swallowed them again. It is difficult for ordinary people to put pressure on the National Government, but for her it was just a greeting. After doing this, Song Yuanming should be impressed by herself.
Maybe you can accept yourself along the way. They say people in love are fools, and this seems to be true.
