    Because of Qin Wei's nonsense, the name Myanmar caused a little stir in the historical process after World War II.  Any views Qin Wei expressed on the course of the European war in Yangon would often appear in European newspapers the next day.  This was extremely fast at the time, and it also reflected people's concerns about the war situation in Europe.  However, Qin Wei¡¯s views always go against certain ¡°mainstream¡± views, and seem to be specifically designed to ¡°disgust¡± certain people.  Guderian crossed the Maginot Line and surrounded nearly 400,000 British and French troops in Dunkirk. French Prime Minister Paul Reno announced that he would persist in resisting the Germans and fight to the end.  However, Qin Wei later expressed his opinion in Yangon, believing that although Maurice Gustave Gamelin, the commander-in-chief of the French army at the time, seemed to be somewhat intelligent, he did not understand "modern warfare" at all. His tactical thinking was actually conservative and old-fashioned.  It was basically fighting World War II the same way as World War I As a result, a few days after this view was published, Paul Reynaud ordered the removal of Gamelin and replaced Maxime Weygand as the new French military commander.  commander.  After Maxime Weygand took over, it was just a few days after the evacuation of Dunkirk.  Although the British and French governments accomplished this "great feat of defeat" with the active assistance of ordinary people on both sides, it was simply impossible for the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops that had just withdrawn to Britain to fight again.  Moreover, when they retreated, they mainly transported away soldiers. Almost all the heavy weapons of the coalition forces were abandoned, and they were unable to replenish them in a short period of time.  Therefore, facing the fierce German regiment, Weigang could only rely on the remaining troops to establish the so-called "Weigang Defense Line" along the Somme River to the Aisne River.  As a result, Qin Wei published an article again, believing that Wei Gang's defense line was of no use at all.  Because at this time the French army's elite divisions had suffered heavy losses, and the remaining 71 divisions were poorly equipped.  And without air force support, it was almost impossible to withstand the hungry tiger-like offensive of more than 100 German divisions. The most important thing was that the French army was "actually defeated from body to heart."  And Germany also has an ally who is good at taking advantage of others.  As a result, as if to confirm Qin Wei's words, on June 3, the German Air Force launched an intensive assault on French airports and rear areas, destroying approximately 900 French aircraft and seizing air superiority.  Dawn on June 5th.  The German army launched a large-scale attack on the "Weigang Defense Line" with 143 divisions.  In just a few days, Weygand's defense line was breached, and the German army swept across the coastal areas, with the forward moving closer to Paris.  At this time, Italy, which has always claimed to be a "non-belligerent country", took advantage of the situation.  On June 10, 32 divisions were dispatched, crossed the Alps and invaded France, stabbing France in the back.  But in the face of the dangerous situation, the French government did not call on and organize the people to resist.  On June 11, the French government moved to Tours and actually declared Paris an "undefended city" two days later.  That is, on June 13, the Reno government formally submitted an armistice request to Germany.  On June 14, exactly one month after Qin Wei made a bet with Mountbatten, the German army occupied Paris without a fight, and the "swastika" flag of fascist Germany was hung on the Eiffel Tower.  On the same day, the Maginot Line was breached by the Germans, and the Reynaud government moved from Tours to Bordeaux.  On June 17, the German army advanced to the Rhine River on the German-French border and captured Strasbourg. Nearly 500,000 French troops were surrounded.  Except for a few who fled to Switzerland, all were wiped out.   "Look, look at it Now everyone has praised that kid to the sky. What has he become? China's number one military strategist?" Qin Wei's "wonderful performance" in Myanmar caused a great sensation, even in Europe  People also know that there is such a great young general in the East, and the Chinese themselves are naturally more excited Newspapers everywhere are reporting Qin Wei's deeds.  This is especially true for the Chongqing press.  This also made many people very dissatisfied, especially Bai Chongxi, the "little Zhuge" who had always been arrogant.  He still doesn¡¯t know what Qin Wei is?  Military strategist?  Give that guy a regiment and he won't be able to defeat a platoon.  "Who is China's number one military strategist?" He Yingqin handed him the newspaper in his hand. "Some people have already accused me of being a vegetarian and even humiliating the country. They just asked me to abdicate in favor of the Qin Chief."  "Okay, Qin Wei just said a few words casually, disgusting foreign devils, why are you so anxious?" Zhang Zhizhong sat opposite He Yingqin and coughed twice, and said.  "That can't be said to be disgusting foreign devils. At least I can't see the French being defeated so quickly Damn it, even if they didn't even fight, Paris wouldn't want it. If this were placed in China, the French government would have no control over it.  You must be called a traitor!" Several people came forward, and Feng Yuxiang, who was tall and strong with a big belly, said happily.  "Brother Huanzhang, Europe is different from our Asia, and France is different from China." He Yingqin glanced at Feng Yuxiang and cursed in his heart.  This guy was simply making sarcastic remarks, scolding him and Chiang Kai-shek for losing power, humiliating the country, and losing Beijing and then Nanjing. They were no better than traitors.  But is that what they are willing to lose?  You Feng Yuxiang are so powerful, how come you can¡¯t even connect with me??Can't beat them?  Now I feel that the matter has nothing to do with me, so I can scold them if I want. If you have the ability, will you go and fight the Japanese?  "The French are about to surrender, and the British are in trouble now." Sitting under Bai Chongxi was Navy Commander-in-Chief Chen Shaokuan, who was later played by Jet Li in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". Seeing that He Yingqin and Feng Yuxiang were quarreling,  posture, and hurriedly changed the topic.  "What do you think we will do if France really surrenders?" Yan Xishan faced Feng Yuxiang, and suddenly laughed twice, "Guangxi's Fifth Army has been eyeing the land north of the Red River in Vietnam  " "Brother Baichuan, do you think we can swallow that land?" Li Zongren, who was leaning against Bai Chongxi, asked.  "Hahaha, of course it would be best if we could swallow it. When Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was around, Vietnam was our territory, but we couldn't occupy it later." Yan Xishan said with a smile.  ¡°Even if France really surrenders, Vietnam is not something we can touch, right?¡± Cheng Qian asked.  "Why can't we touch it?" Bai Chongxi snorted coldly, "If France surrenders, Vietnam will be equivalent to Germany's territory. Now the Germans are colluding with Japan That is our most important external communication line. Don't hurry up  After occupying it, can we wait until the French cooperate with the Japanese and cut off the road? " "That's not what you say," Cheng Qian shook his head, "We have too much to worry about now, so we can provoke the French Even if they can't, as long as we  Once they surrender, the overall strength is still there. When the time comes, if they are really angry and send troops to Vietnam, what should we do? "It's a good idea. Can the Germans just send troops as they say?" Feng Yuxiang said coldly.  "That's right." Li Zongren also smiled, "This is like what the Japanese do to Wang Zhaoming. If Wang Zhaoming wants to mobilize a few troops under the noses of the Japanese, that's fine, but if he dares to send troops to Beijing or Inner Mongolia, go  Shanxi, the Japanese will definitely not agree." "What's the point of saying this?" Li Jishen, who had been just watching indifferently, glanced at everyone, "The Japanese haven't been beaten away yet." "How many people do we rely on in the war of resistance now?  Except for Sichuan, which is relatively rich, the rest of the provinces are barren. If you don't find time to occupy a few more places, how will you live in the future?" He Yingqin also rolled his eyes at Li Jishen.  Everyone present here is a member of the Central Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, and except for him and Zhang Zhizhong, the rest can be said to have been enemies of Chiang Kai-shek.  Among these people, Li Jishen had the most old grudges with Chiang Kai-shek.  Before the official outbreak of the direct resistance war, Li Jishen was still openly opposing Chiang Kai-shek, and he himself was "permanently expelled from the party" by Chiang Kai-shek twice because of this.  Although everyone has come together reluctantly for the sake of the war of resistance, Li Jishen still has a nose that is not a nose and an eye that is not eyes towards Lao Chiang Kai-shek and other members of the Chiang faction. Whenever he finds an opportunity, he will provoke them.  Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi were appointed as the deputy chief of staff of the National Revolutionary Army, but Li Jishen had nothing but the title of a member of the Military Commission.  As for Li Jishen, he would rather hand over some local armed forces of the "Chinese National Revolutionary Alliance" he had previously organized to the New Fourth Army than to Chiang Kai-shek, so that the resentment between the two sides deepened.  "It is true that the provinces controlled by the government are not rich now, but they can always develop. As long as those corrupt officials are dealt with, I think at least more than half of the administrative expenses can be saved, and the people can live a better life. But some people  I just want to provoke another enemy Although the French are far away, don't forget that we are not Germans either," Li Jishen snorted coldly.  "Brother Ren Chao is right, but after all, what we are facing cannot be regarded as the entire France, Vietnam" "The Chairman is here!" Bai Chongxi is quite slanderous towards Northern Vietnam.  When Qin Wei proposed to prepare for this, he was one of the supporters.  At that time, Britain and France had not officially started war with Germany, so he dared to think about it. Now that France's defeat was certain, he was even more itchy In his opinion, if they really wanted to capture northern Vietnam, they would not need one of Du Yuming's elites.  For the Fifth Army, one division is more than enough.  The difficulty now is that the Chinese government has a good relationship with the German government. Before the Germans have formally formed an alliance with Japan, they have no choice but to ignore the feelings of the Germans and attack France, which has just surrendered to them.  As for the French guy who was one of the direct partiesBai Chongxi really looked down on them.  The legendary largest land power in Europe actually performed worse than China in this war. How bad does this country have to be?  But when he was about to refute Li Jishen, Chiang Kai-shek arrived.  In desperation, he had no choice but to shut up, and then slowly stood up with everyone else.  "Let me introduce someone to you." Lao Jiang did not arrive alone. Behind him was Dai Li, who had a tight face, and another one was a foreign devil. Isaro was about the same age, with a gentle expression, but he was wearing beautiful clothes.  It gave him a hint of military toughness."This is the newly arrived leader of the US military observation group, Colonel Dwight Eisenhower!"
