Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 624: Ugly Country Representative

In Ye Feng’s previous life.

In that era when the gap between the enemy and us was huge, facing the Japanese invaders with terrifying firepower, General Su could never withstand the fierce attack of the enemy's 200,000-strong army with only a few tens of thousands of troops.

It was also difficult for the two sides to reach a stalemate, because the Japanese devils could destroy all positions with their powerful firepower output and covering artillery attacks.

It's different now.

Ye Feng, an angry young man, traveled through time and space and led the underground party troops to victory after victory, annihilating hundreds of thousands of the main forces of the Japanese Kwantung Army, destroying the morale of the Japanese and seizing countless supplies.

They even integrated resources from the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui regions, built a military factory in Shanghai, and established the New Shenzhou Company, which continued to engage in foreign trade and transported back large quantities of military supplies.

As one side gained strength while the other lost, the Japanese were rapidly heading towards defeat, from the powerful force they had when they first invaded.

For example, the 200,000 Japanese troops in Shandong.

It sounds intimidating. If it were at the beginning of a full-scale war, these 200,000 Japanese troops could almost sweep across most of China.

But the situation is different now. These 200,000 are not the main force of the Kwantung Army. More than 70% of them are Japanese recruits.

Moreover, they were a group of new soldiers who were forcibly recruited, forcibly brought to China, and forcibly sent to the battlefield.

In Ye Feng's opinion, this was just a group of 200,000 Japanese troops with poor combat effectiveness.

The 13th Army led by Commander Su was composed of veterans who had fought in many battles. Their weapons and equipment were not bad, and they also had a steady supply of artillery shells, grenades, and explosives from the Shanghai Naval Factory. In terms of firepower output, they were not inferior to the enemy at all.

Therefore, it would not be a big problem for General Su to stop the enemy in the border areas of Shandong and Jiangsu.

If there were good opportunities for war but they could not be received, with General Su's superb military command ability, he could even defeat the Japanese army.

It is because of considering the overall situation that Ye Feng will continue to guard the Central Plains, rapidly develop and expand the 12th Army, and make adequate preparations for the upcoming attack on Shanxi, Hebei and other places.

What Ye Feng is going to do next is not military, but economy, people's livelihood, and food...

The food issue in particular is of utmost priority.

Where did the Japanese get their food in this era? Even in the vast area of ​​their country, there was no food at all.

According to the history that Ye Feng had read in his previous life, in the early stages of the war, that is, when the full-scale war broke out, most of the Japanese military rations were supplied by Formosa and South Korea, and they also plundered local grain stores or private grain reserves to build temporary granaries.

As the Japanese continued to capture cities and counties across China, in order to solve the problem of food supplies, the Japanese army established the North China Wheat Association, the Central China Flour Milling Federation, the Procurement and Transportation Society, the Rice and Grain Control Committee and other organizations to purchase grain in a unified manner for military needs.

In addition to these methods, the Japanese military will also cooperate with their domestic conglomerates. For example, Mitsui Real Estate Company, Mitsubishi Corporation, etc. are responsible for collecting grain.

They designated some Japanese grain merchants as contractors and set up rice purchasing offices in major rice-producing areas such as Wuhu, Wuxi, Suzhou, Changshu, Kunshan, and Songjiang in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to purchase grain from Chinese rice merchants or farmers.

During this period, the Japanese also used the threat of powerful force to lower the price of rice, and sometimes even used direct force. Anyone who dared to resist would be ruthlessly slaughtered by the cold muzzles of the Japanese guns.

In addition to this method of seizing food, they also had another way to defraud the people of China of their food, which was to exchange it for military notes. However, these military notes could basically not be exchanged and were completely useless.

In general.

The reason why Japanese soldiers were able to have a rich meal every time in the early stages of the war was through plundering.

When the Japanese army entered the village to sweep, they implemented the "Three Alls" policy, which means burning everything, killing everything and looting everything, without any humanity. Our country has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, with an underdeveloped commercial economy. Every household, especially in rural areas, has a tradition of self-sufficiency.

This situation made farmers the main targets of the Japanese army. They robbed farmers of the food they had worked so hard to harvest over the past year and the chickens, ducks, fish and meat they would only eat during the New Year. In addition, they not only robbed the people of their hard-earned goods, but also killed people and burned down villages in an attempt to leave no trace.

This all-out war has been going on for three years. The land of China is engulfed in flames and the entire country is devastated.

In such a chaotic time of war, who can grow food with peace of mind?

Therefore, in view of the current situation where the Japanese are also having difficulty in supplying, Ye Feng wants to block the devil's food transportation channel.

Regarding the maritime grain transportation channel, Ye Feng contacted the senior officials of the Ugly Country in East Asia through Shanghai.

It is still Davis representing the military, Donald John representing politics, and Logan representing the economy.

As soon as they met, just like last time, Ye Feng didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point:

"I hope that you, the Ugly Country, can dispatch warships to block the Japanese transportation channels at sea."

"Whether it's their troop transport ships or their grain transport ships, I don't want them to appear in any port in Shenzhou."

"Your Ugly Country is now very powerful militarily. I believe it won't be difficult to do this, right?"

The three people on the opposite side seemed to be used to it, and their expressions did not fluctuate. After weighing the pros and cons, Davis, who represented the military, spoke:

"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, we in the Ugly Country cannot do this. You have to understand that up to now, our Ugly Country has not officially declared war, has not participated in the war in Western Europe, and has not participated in your war in East Asia."

"So as for your request that we personally send troops to act against Japan, it is impossible for us to carry out it."

Something like that.

If you did not participate in the war, then where did all the countless large quantities of weapons and equipment shipped out of your ugly country go?

Ye Feng said, "As you can see, in this all-out war between us and Japan, the scales of victory are already tilting towards us very quickly. The further we go, the faster the war will end. Your ugly country wants to get a piece of the pie in East Asia, but you don't participate at this time. Do you think you will come and pick up some leftovers after we completely defeat the Japanese? Don't you think it's too late?"

According to the historical process of the previous life, it would take more than two years before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.

Only then will the Ugly Country truly declare war.

Ye Feng now wants to speed up this time node and let the Ugly Country send troops and make efforts to fight the Japanese to the death.

In this way, isn’t Ye Feng worried that the Ugly Country will deploy its military forces in East Asia to curb the development of Shenzhou?

Ye Feng was naturally not afraid, because the Japanese side seemed to be in poor condition.

However, in order to defeat it completely, it would require an unimaginable price and the sacrifice of countless people.

Ye Feng’s plan was very simple, to let the Ugly Country and Japan fight to the death.

When the situation becomes clear, he will lead the naval force formed in Shanghai to launch a lightning attack on the Japanese mainland to reap the last wave of victory. The best thing would be to put the control of the Japanese mainland in the hands of Shenzhou.

If possible, he planned to turn that area of ​​Japan into a province of Shenzhou.

This is a crazy plan.

But once it succeeds, its significance for the future development of China will be absolutely immeasurable.

"Mr. Ye, you want our country to send troops to join the war, but what can we gain?"

Logan represents the Ugly Country's economy. As soon as this old man opens his mouth, he talks about interests.

This is an ugly country.

Ye Feng was stunned, and subconsciously said, "Don't you, the Ugly Country, have the ambition to dominate the world?"

dominate?

worldwide?

The three people opposite were more confused than each other, and their stunned expressions didn't seem to be pretended.

Ye Feng then realized that at this point in time, although the Chou Country had made a fortune from the war and accumulated huge wealth, they had not declared war and had not sent troops to the battlefield.

They didn't even appear in World War II, nor did they send troops directly to fight!

Where does the ambition to dominate come from?

The top leaders of the Ugly Country, as well as the big families, chaebols, etc. in their country, at this time, are still a group of capitalists blinded by profit.

It's a bit troublesome.

Ye Feng fell silent, racking his brains to think of how to get the Ugly Country to send troops to attack Japan in advance?
