    "President, this is your itinerary for today." In the famous Doha Fortress, Gu Yuwen stood beside him in straight clothes and handed the schedule in his briefcase to Yang Qiu for review.

    Opposite the dining table were Miao Luo and her eldest daughter Yang Sisi, who had come from the United States to meet.  Mother and daughter stayed in the United States for several months due to foreign affairs and attending Harvard University's graduation ceremony.  Although the delay was quite long, Miao Luo's trip played a big role.  After the Katyn incident was exposed, the war in Central Asia resumed, Italy entered the war, France quickly failed and other events were entangled, Roosevelt had begun to consider entering the war in advance.  Because after losing the control of the Soviet Union, once France surrenders, all pressure will be concentrated on Britain.  If Britain also surrendered, the United States would have to withdraw from Europe.  Even if the German navy cannot defeat the British navy, Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Mediterranean will no longer have any skin.  The most frightening thing is that Hitler without the Eastern Front will definitely attack Spain. Once he controls Spain and Gibraltar, the Mediterranean will be isolated from Britain and the United States. No matter how powerful Cunningham is, he will have to withdraw to the Atlantic. At that time, Britain will completely fail!  By then, even if he wanted to take action, he would not be able to find any place to stay.

    So the news brought back by Miao Luo said that the British and American domestic media had begun to change the direction of the situation, and China's status suddenly became extremely important.  Churchill and Roosevelt even praised Yang Qiu and the Chinese government's contribution on the anti-fascist battlefield in public on many occasions.  Before returning, Roosevelt specially sent Milo off and brought medicine worth 10 million US dollars supported by the U.S. government.  Although there are not many things, it shows that Roosevelt is already considering intervention, and China has become an important force in dealing with the Axis powers.

    "Is Mossadegh still there?" It has been half a month since he came to the Middle East, but Yang Qiu has been lingering in Riyadh, Doha, Abu Dhabi and other places. He reviewed the troops in Ahvaz with Pahlavi and accompanied Ibn Saud to visit Saudi Arabia.  Oil and urban construction, and even secretly visited the ancient Persian palace in Isfahan, but Mossadegh was never seen.  Jiang Baili, who was reading the newspaper next to him, raised his head.  A smile filled his eyebrows: "Here, I can't wait to see him. If you don't see him again, I might jump into the Persian Gulf."

    "Pfft." Yang Sisi, who was eating, couldn't help laughing and said to Yang Qiu: "Dad, why are you trying to trick me? I think he is quite sincere. Look, he has been waiting for you since he knew you were coming.  More than ten days."

    Yang Qiu put down the documents and looked at his daughter.  In the blink of an eye, he is also a man with a group of sons and daughters. The eldest son is fighting in Karakalpakstan with the First Armored Division in Central Asia. The second son has already taken the warship to Djibouti in advance to serve as an outpost for the 22nd Fleet to be stationed again.  The eldest daughter is now 24 years old, beautiful and slim, and has a double degree in electrical engineering from Peking University and Harvard University.  Miao Luo smiled slightly and added two slices of bread to his daughter's plate: "What do you know? Your father is deliberately cold to him. The religion here is very complicated. If they are unwilling, it will be very troublesome in the future."

    "It's not annoying to do the math every day." Yang Sisi frowned and bit her bread hard.

    "Your eldest brother and second brother are both leading troops outside. It's time for you to help out at home. I've already taken care of it, and your third wife will leave some things to you when you get back."

    "Oh, I got it."

    After settling the family matters in a few words, Yang Qiu put down his chopsticks and started packing his briefcase.  After he was ready, he turned to Gu Yuwen: "It's almost time. You go to Abu Dhabi first and invite him to attend the party at the air force base tomorrow night. Tell him that I will be there." After saying that, he greeted Jiang Baili and got ready to go out.  But just got up.  Gu Weijun and Bai Chongxi were already approaching.

    "Stop saluting, has the typhoon plan started?" After Yang Qiu stopped Bai Chongxi from saluting, he saw Gu Weijun's eyebrows were filled with joy.  I guess the plan has started.  He guessed correctly. Gu Weijun immediately stepped forward and said: "Yesterday afternoon, Beijing time, the Second Fleet sank the Japanese heavy cruiser Aoba and the light cruiser Nagara in the Battle of Cape Ca Mau, and also wiped out the main force of the Siamese Navy in one fell swoop!  The 17th Army has also crossed Zhennanguan and headed for Hanoi, at the latest." At this point, he looked at his watch: "In four hours, the navy will also land from several locations at the same time."

    Hearing this, Jiang Baili neatly folded the newspaper in his hand and raised his head: "Didn't Inoue Narimi take action?"

    "No, he was blocked by Fleet 22 at Nungwi Island. Seeing that we were well prepared, he immediately retreated to Bandar Seri Begawan. However, the Natuna Listening Station has heard the telegram he sent to Yamamoto Isoroku.  I hope Yamamoto will come back as soon as possible. Yamamoto didn't say anything about going back, but he has ordered the two Kongo-class battleships and two aircraft carriers in Rabaul to return to Ryukyu. It seems that he is also afraid of our sneak attack." After Bai Chongxi finished speaking, he said:  "It's a pity that we missed the good opportunity to eat the Third Fleet."

    "What good assets does the Third Fleet have? It's just a few broken ships. It doesn't matter whether they eat or not." Gu Weijun didn't care about the life and death of the Third Fleet, but was concerned about the main force of Yamamoto Isoroku: "From the telegram, Yamamoto Isoroku  It seems still?Find Somerville's main fleet.  "

    "Naval warfare is different from land warfare. On land, you can use human sea tactics to search every corner. On the sea, you have to rely on aircraft and warships. Japan lacks a foundation in the Indian Ocean. If Somerville really wants to hide, Yamamoto Isoroku will eat him.  No matter how hard you try! But I guess he won't be able to hide for long. France is already negotiating with Germany. As soon as France surrenders and the United States doesn't take action in time, Nehru will definitely start an uprising. If he can't hit Japan hard as soon as possible  Navy, the situation in India is not good!¡±

    "He had to fight, so Yamamoto Isoroku saw this and was waiting in Ceylon." Bai Chongxi interjected.

    Yang Qiu stood in the living room and pondered for a moment. From his expression, it seemed that he was not interested in any of this.  Upon seeing this, Gu Weijun said again: "President, there is one more thing. The British Intelligence Department should know that you are here, so when Xu Gesen met the Prime Minister yesterday, he conveyed Churchill's message. He hopes to see you in Cairo, the sooner the better. Roosevelt's  Private consultant John Hopkins and French Defense Minister Charles de Gaulle are also willing to attend the meeting."

    Yang Qiu said coldly: "Oh? Are you finally willing to come and meet?"

    Gu Weijun smiled slightly: "When they retreated from Dunkirk, the British lost all their equipment, and now they can't even get a few rifles in the country. In the United States, although Roosevelt loosened isolationism through the Katyn massacre, what he really wanted  To get involved, you need a big excuse, otherwise you won't be able to convince Congress. What's more, his demands are similar to ours. He wants the British government to promise to completely open the market after the war and give up the colonies. He also needs to give up Atlantic interests! Churchill is full of fire.  I can only turn around and see you.¡±

    "It's time to meet." Yang Qiu looked at Jiang Baili: "Baili, how much assistance do you think we should provide?"

    Jiang Baili thought for a while and said: "The German navy was severely damaged in Norway and lost half of its destroyers and several battleships, so Britain should have no worries on the sea for the time being. Regardless of whether Somerville can win in India, it will have an impact on the situation in Europe  Not much. So Churchill is probably most worried about Spain! Hitler said before that he would not invade Spain, but now that the Soviet Union is entangled with us, it is hard to say. At least Redl has proposed a Great Mediterranean Plan, and the Army has a corresponding plan to land in the UK.  .Intelligence says that Hitler himself is also very interested in these two plans. So I suggest selling some army weapons immediately! We currently have about 1,000 captured T34 tanks, 2,300 BT series tanks, and 50,000 to 60,000 Soviets.  Make artillery. Then sell a batch of old rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers in the warehouse, which should be enough for Churchill to arm 20 divisions."

    "Then I'll do as you say." Yang Qiu waved to the guard outside: "Go prepare a plane and send Mr. Baili to London immediately." After saying that, he took Jiang Baili's hand and said, "Remember  , small arms and artillery can be delivered immediately. As for the price, I don¡¯t think Churchill is in the mood to bargain with you now. But if you want to be more serious about the tanks, just say that we need time to repair them. They can only be delivered in batches. The first batch will be a maximum of 200 BT and  100 T34/76s, and the rest can be delivered in several batches. Finally, you are telling him that I will go to Cairo in a week." Jiang Baili nodded, he understood what Yang Qiu meant.  bt tanks are not important.  Even t26 can be sold in large quantities, but not t34 tanks!  Although this tank failed miserably in Central Asia, it was a very powerful tank for Europe at this time, if given too much at once.  Does not comply with the principle of consumption.

    After Jiang Baili went upstairs to prepare his luggage, Gu Weijun asked again: "President, what should we do about the French East Indies? Japan has suffered such a big loss. It will definitely look for opportunities to retaliate. And the Governor of Rang Degu is not cold to us so far.  It¡¯s not hot, and the French government has been gritting its teeth and refusing to let go.¡±

    "France's attitude no longer matters, as long as Britain and the United States support us in entering the French East Indies." Yang Qiu took a few steps, and just then Yang Sisi came in with tea, so he took the tea cup and continued to give instructions: "Jiansheng  , you immediately send someone back to see the Prime Minister and the Chief of General Staff. Tell me what you want to say, we must show that we do not want to go to war with Japan, we are only fulfilling the South China Sea Agreement and protecting the interests of French expatriates and our country. As for other things, we will not interfere!"

    Gu Weijun understood something and asked: "President, do you mean independence?!"

    Yang Qiu put down the tea cup and raised his finger to emphasize: "We must clearly tell Xiao Jinyun and Dai Yunong that we only protect the French expatriates in the area and our country's interests, and cannot let Japan interfere. As for other things, they can do it freely. I don't care.  No matter how many political parties there are, or how many armed factions there are, as long as they remember one thing, it is okay to pursue independence! It is okay to fight Japan! I will turn a blind eye to fighting the French colonial army! But whoever touches my army, I will fight against it.  Defeat them! No more words! Tell Yan Baohang again to put Ho Chi Minh back. He still has energy in the local area. Finally, you are looking after Yue Peng. Lang Son is the commanding heights of Vietnam. The south of Lang Son is flat and open, so the Red River  From the north to Haiphong, we must hold it in our hands!  As for whether the Chinese will establish the country or whether it will be incorporated into Guangxi through a referendum in the future, it is up to them, but they cannot leave it to the future Vietnamese government!  "

    "It just so happened that the chief of staff asked us to send people back for a meeting. I immediately asked Zhu Jiande to bring a message back in person." Bai Chongxi was from Guangxi and knew the importance of the north of the Red River, so he immediately left and went back to make arrangements.

    Just as he was about to leave, Yang Qiu stopped him again and said with a smile: "Wait a minute. Go find Zhang Zhidan and ask the Military Intelligence Bureau to find a way to help Nehru. Our Indian friends are very short of weapons and ammunition."(To be continued  )
