Anti-Japanese War: My equipment is infinitely refreshed

In the international relations landscape at the time, the system upheld by the United States, from a conventional perspective, did not require such a meticulous and far-reaching layout.

After all, it has its own unique political and economic operating model, and can maintain a certain status and influence by developing step by step in international affairs.

However, Roosevelt became the special one who broke the routine. Since the beginning of the war, he had a grand and ambitious goal - to make America replace Britain and become the new world hegemon. To achieve this goal, he took great pains, went all out in many aspects, and made countless efforts.

On the economic level, Roosevelt actively promoted the vigorous development of domestic industry. Through a series of policy stimuli, American factories were able to operate at full capacity, and all kinds of military products and daily necessities were churned out like springs. This not only effectively guaranteed the country's supply of materials during the war, but also enabled exports, thus enhancing the United States' voice in the international economic landscape.

In terms of diplomacy, he skillfully maneuvered between countries, relying on the United States' resource advantages and his own diplomatic wisdom to win over and unite some countries, build an international relations network that was beneficial to the United States, gradually enhance the United States' influence on the international stage, and lay a solid foundation for its move toward world hegemony.

As someone who had close contact with Roosevelt and had a deep understanding of him, Stilwell was well aware of Roosevelt's inner persistence and desire to dominate the world. Therefore, when faced with an opportunity of great strategic value like the ownership of the Suez Canal, Stilwell knew very well that Roosevelt would never let it go easily and would definitely try his best to seize this opportunity.

The facts were indeed as Stilwell expected. When the United States learned that Egypt was willing to transfer half of the ownership of the Suez Canal to them, the whole country fell into an irrepressible excitement. For them, this news was simply great news like a long-awaited rain. After all, before this, although the United States had gained a lot of benefits in the course of the war through various means such as trade and military aid, those benefits were really dwarfed by the huge value that the Suez Canal could bring.

"Damn it, this is absolutely impossible." But not long after, the British side learned of the news and immediately exploded. The British were furious and their roars resounded in the relevant meeting places. Originally, the Suez Canal was a key strategic asset that Britain had long controlled. It was like a "golden link" in Britain's global layout, connecting the Eurasian continent and playing a vital role in Britain's control of international trade, deployment of military forces and many other aspects. But later, in the changing situation of the war, it was forcibly occupied by the Germans.

Now that the Germans have been defeated, the British initially thought that as long as the war ended with their victory, they could still easily drive out the Egyptians with the remaining power of the British Empire and its traditional influence in the local area, and then smoothly bring the canal back under their jurisdiction.

But they never expected that their intelligence agency suddenly sent a bombshell intelligence, which showed that Egypt had secretly colluded with the US military and clearly proposed to give half of the ownership of the canal to the United States. This time, the British were completely unable to sit still. Their hearts were like a ignited gunpowder barrel. Anger, worry, anxiety and other emotions intertwined, making it impossible for them to remain calm and composed.

On the surface, the current war situation is still relatively optimistic for Britain. Under the catalysis of the war, America's strong industrial strength has achieved explosive growth as if it has been injected with a stimulant. The machines in the factory roared, producing a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, sufficient living materials and various military supplies day and night, which were continuously transported to the front line, providing a solid material foundation for the advancement of the war, and also making all parties involved in the war full of confidence in winning the war in the end.

Many British people were even secretly thinking about how to reorganize and reap the wealth of colonies in every corner of the world after the war. They wanted to inject new vitality into the declining British Empire, alleviate the many economic and social problems facing the country, and continue to maintain Britain's dominant position on the world stage.

But who could have imagined that the war here hadn't even ended completely, but the U.S. military could no longer hold back and began to secretly undermine their base behind the scenes. This undoubtedly caught the British off guard, making them angry and hateful, but also somewhat helpless.

You know, if the Suez Canal really falls into the hands of the United States, the consequences for Britain will be disastrous. This means that the US military will firmly control this significant channel between Europe and Asia, thereby occupying a dominant position in international trade and manipulating key factors such as cargo transportation and trade rules at will. Moreover, not only the Eurasian channel, but the entire Mediterranean region may also become the "sphere of influence" of the US military, allowing it to control and deploy at will.

Especially now that the British army has lost the Strait of Gibraltar, a key strategic location that controls the throat of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. If the US military were to occupy the Suez Canal, Britain's throne as the world hegemon would be completely lost. At that time, their international prestige would plummet, and the days when they could call the shots and control the global situation would be gone forever.

So, no matter what, Britain will never allow this cooperation between the United States and Egypt to be achieved smoothly, and they must take decisive measures to prevent this from happening.

"Find a way to get rid of the queen." After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, Churchill finally made such a ruthless but seemingly helpless decision. In his view, the current US military is strong and its influence on the international stage is growing day by day. It must not be offended easily, otherwise it is likely to cause more serious consequences and even accelerate the decline of Britain. Since there is no way to directly confront the United States and prevent them from getting involved in the Suez Canal, the only way is to take a different approach and start from the source to get rid of the Egyptian queen who proposed this cooperation intention.

As long as the Queen of Egypt is gone, the so-called cooperation on the ownership of the canal will naturally become a tree without roots and water without a source, and there will be no talk of it. In this way, it will be possible to fundamentally eliminate the hidden danger that has caused headaches for Britain and avoid the subsequent complicated and difficult troubles. It must be said that Churchill still knows how to judge the situation and distinguish between the primary and secondary. He clearly knows that in the current delicate international situation, the US military must not be provoked, so he can only make up his mind and choose to wrong the Queen of Egypt.

"Yes." The British officer in charge of intelligence responded without hesitation after hearing the order. For their intelligence agency with a long history and rich experience, carrying out such an assassination mission does not seem to be a difficult task. After all, the British Empire has a long history of dominating the world for hundreds of years, leaving deep marks all over the world, and its influence is deeply rooted. Especially in the vast area of ​​North Africa, Britain has been operating for many years and has established various cooperative relationships with many local indigenous tribes. The number of those indigenous tribes is simply countless. They firmly believe that as long as they come forward to operate and coordinate, relying on past friendships and the influence of Britain, there will definitely be many indigenous tribes willing to cooperate with them to complete the task of killing the Queen of Egypt. In their eyes, getting rid of an Egyptian queen is too easy.

On the other side, on the battlefield of the Eastern Front, the German army was in a very difficult predicament. The troops were retreating step by step, and the front line was like a broken dam, constantly shrinking backwards, as if it could collapse at any time. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Marshal Model, known as the "Master of Defense", stepped forward. With his profound military qualities, excellent command ability and unique defense tactics, he remained calm in the face of danger, dispatched troops in an orderly manner, arranged defense lines, and began to stabilize the shaky defense line little by little, allowing the German army to stabilize its position at this critical juncture and avoid a crushing defeat, which bought precious time for the German army's subsequent adjustments and counterattacks.

It really is true that the saying goes: "The peak produces false supporters, and the dusk witnesses loyal believers." When the German army was in such a difficult twilight moment, Marshal Model used his actual actions to fully demonstrate his loyalty to the German army and his responsibility as an excellent general.

"Model is indeed a master of defense, he is really amazing." During this period, Cun Yunsheng has been concentrating on collecting intelligence information from various battlefields. He knows very well that in this complex and ever-changing war situation, in order to make correct and wise decisions, it is necessary to have a comprehensive, in-depth and detailed understanding of the overall situation of the entire war. Only by comprehensively grasping the actual situation of each battlefield, the dynamics of various forces, the allocation of resources and many other aspects, can we analyze the pros and cons based on this detailed information, and then make accurate judgments.

Fortunately, William had agreed to cooperate with him before. With the convenience and help provided by William, Cun Yunsheng's intelligence gathering work was indeed much easier than before. This also enabled him to sort out information from all parties more efficiently, integrate resources, and be fully prepared to make more reasonable and more favorable decisions in this ever-changing war.

In the slightly busy and solemn command center, Cun Yunsheng looked seriously at the group of focused staff officers beside him, frowned slightly, and reminded them solemnly: "Study it carefully." He knew very well that the object he was mentioning at the moment was of extraordinary importance. He was one of the most outstanding defense masters in actual combat and had a pivotal position in the German army. He was even honored as the "Iron Wall of the Empire."

The defense line built by the defensive master Marshal Model was not just solid, it was like an indestructible iron wall across the battlefield, forcing the Soviet army to pay a huge price for every step forward. You know, if the German army had not been unable to keep up with the logistics supply later, which seriously affected the continuous combat capability of the troops, I am afraid that the Soviet army would have wanted to break through its defense line and defeat the German army. The difficulty is really beyond imagination, and it is almost an impossible task.

"Yes." After hearing Cun Yunsheng's instructions, the staff officers hurriedly responded in unison, then reached out to pick up the relevant materials and began to study them carefully with full concentration. Everyone's face showed seriousness and solemnity, knowing that this research was of key significance for understanding the battlefield situation and formulating subsequent combat plans.

"Commander, if the Soviets can't defeat this Model, can they defeat the Germans?" After a while, a staff officer finally couldn't hold back his doubts and asked with a frown. He knew very well how powerful Marshal Model was, and he also knew the huge challenges the Soviets faced on the Eastern Front, so he asked this question and wanted to get a clearer answer from Cun Yunsheng.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng first looked at the other person with a little surprise, as if he didn't expect someone to ask such a direct question, and then fell into deep thought.

He held his chin with his hand, his eyes deep, and his mind quickly sorted out many factors such as the current battlefield situation and the balance of power among the parties.

After pondering for a long while, he nodded slowly and said solemnly: "That's right. If Marshal Zhukov cannot break this iron wall of defense, there is basically no chance of defeating the German army. However, from another point of view, the German army's defense line on the Eastern Front has been temporarily stabilized by Marshal Model, which has given the Allies time to land and fight in other directions. It can be said that there are both advantages and disadvantages." As Cun Yunsheng spoke, he frowned slightly, as if he had seen the various variables and opportunities hidden behind this complex situation.

"Don't think too much. It's not easy for the Soviet army to defeat Marshal Model." Cun Yunsheng said again.

His words were full of admiration for Marshal Model.

Although they didn't understand, they still nodded after seeing Cun Yunsheng's expression.

"Tell Bula to speed up the offensive. Also send a surrender notice to the German army, telling them that as long as they surrender, their lives will be guaranteed." Cun Yunsheng ordered again.

"Yes." (End of chapter)
