Chapter 991 Tea Chapter
"Thank you for your concern, brother. The Japanese devils are still determined to destroy us. I was forced into this situation and managed to get a batch of large-caliber artillery specifically for attacking fortified positions from the clowns!" Zhang Yunhe said.
"Do you still have any of these large-caliber artillery pieces? Get me a few, money is no object!" Chen Yu said.
Zhang Yunhe shook his head and said, "I don't have many of these large-caliber artillery pieces on my side. We really don't have any extras. We could purchase them from the arsenal of Xiaochou, but I don't think it's worthwhile for you to use these large-caliber artillery pieces to deal with the Japanese bunkers. I have two kinds of weapons here that are both cheap and effective. They are killers against Japanese firing points, bunkers, and tanks!"
Chen Yucai immediately became interested: "Oh, what kind of weapon is it?"
"Haha, no rush, we can discuss that later. Where's Young Master Gong?" Zhang Yunhe asked.
Chen Yu said, "I was on the phone just now, I don't know what I'm doing right now!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Gong Er's voice rang out: "You old bastard Chen, talking bad about me behind my back again!"
"Don't misunderstand, I didn't say anything bad about you. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Yunhe!" Chen Yucai quickly said.
Gong Er ignored Chen Yucai and shook hands with Zhang Yunhe, saying, "I just got a call from General Zhou of the Air Force. He also heard that you were coming and wanted to meet with you!"
"My aunt even called to make sure I could get in, so I really can't refuse, Brother Yunhe, what do you think?"
After listening, Zhang Yunhe said, "General Zhou? Does he want to purchase airplanes?"
Gong Erdian was no longer as cheerful as before, and his expression was not good: "It should be. These past few months, the Japanese have been acting like they've gone mad, frequently sending fighter jets and bombers to launch surprise attacks. Our air force has had no choice but to take off and fight back, and both sides have suffered heavy losses."
"The Japanese have the ability to generate their own revenue; they can replenish their pilots and fighter jets at any time. We, on the other hand, don't have the capacity to manufacture aircraft, so we have to find ways to buy them from abroad."
"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics of the losses; we may need to replenish a significant portion this time."
Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "I replenished my stock in Hong Kong. I don't have many fighter jets left. If it's just a few dozen, I can still manage to get some. But if I want to buy more, I'll have to contact my friends at Joker's and ask them to help me. But that will take quite a while."
"Let's discuss the specifics when General Zhou arrives!"
Gong Er agreed, "Alright, come sit in the living room. I recently acquired some fine tea, but I haven't been willing to drink it yet!"
Zhang Yunhe laughed and said, "What kind of tea would you be so reluctant to drink? This tea must be something special!"
The three sat down as host and guest, and after the servants brought tea and left, Gong Er took out several cigars from the coffee table and gave one to each person.
The three of them soon found themselves in the living room, puffing on cigarettes and chatting.
"Brother Yunhe, do you know what the situation is like outside?" Chen Yu asked.
Zhang Yunhe, puffing on his cigar, said, "Since the Battle of Midway, the strategic situation in the Pacific theater has changed, and we have now entered a strategic stalemate. Although the Japanese naval forces have suffered heavy losses, their fighting capacity is still intact. It will take the clowns at least two to three years to achieve victory!"
"However, the Japanese have now taken all the islands they could, stationed troops on various islands in the Pacific, and organized manpower and local people to mine, plant rubber, and extract oil."
"Currently, there are no major battles, but small-scale conflicts are ongoing. The Joker is also accumulating strength, with the army, navy, and air force all undergoing a frenzied expansion. The Joker has already mobilized over 400 million troops, and may mobilize over 1000 million more in the next two to three years."
"After being driven out of Europe by the Germans, the British were unwilling to accept defeat. On the one hand, they trained troops and accumulated military equipment and ammunition; on the other hand, they fought fiercely against the Germans in North Africa, opening a second front."
"The Germans have already devoted their main army forces to dealing with the polar bear, but the polar bear is a tough nut to crack. This time, the Germans have probably hit a brick wall, and their morale is slowly being worn down. I think defeat is only a matter of time!"
Do you know St. Petersburg?
Gong Er nodded and said, "I've heard of it. It's supposedly a heavy industrial city."
Zhang Yunhe nodded. "That's right. It's a coastal heavy industrial city. St. Petersburg had complete fortifications before the Germans launched their attack, but do you know how badly it was fought there?"
The two shook their heads.
Zhang Yunhe took a puff of his cigar and said, "Initially, the Germans deployed about 75 troops from the Northern Army Group, while the Russians deployed over 90. According to what I understand, the official statistics from the Russians show that military personnel losses alone have exceeded 80, and the number of civilian deaths due to hunger, disease, stray bullets, and bombs has exceeded 100 million."
“Some unofficial statistics are much higher than this, and the fighting there is not over yet. As the fighting continues, the number of casualties will continue to rise. Now, thousands or tens of thousands are dying every day. Can you imagine how terrible that is?”
Both of them gasped in shock upon hearing this.
Chen Yu asked, "Brother Yunhe, is your information reliable?"
“Of course it’s reliable. I have friends all over the world. Getting any information I want is a piece of cake. I can’t get highly classified information, but this kind of information is no problem!” Zhang Yunhe said, smoking a cigarette.
Gong Er said, "Do you think that guy with the mustache has lost his mind? It's one thing to fight westwards, and he's already driven the British back, but why is he turning around and fighting the polar bears again? What is he thinking? Can't he just not fight the polar bears?"
Zhang Yunhe laughed: "We really have no choice but to fight!"
Gong Er was puzzled: "Why? Didn't they sign a non-aggression pact?"
Zhang Yunhe said, "The resources that the Germans need, such as copper mines, iron mines, oil, and other strategic resources, are all within the control of the polar bear. Moreover, the polar bear has gradually tightened its grip and is increasing its troops and military equipment. If Hitler doesn't make a move, he'll be waiting to die. If he does, there's still a glimmer of hope!"
"You could say that the little mustache was forced to take action. If he didn't, he would definitely die. If he did take action, he could survive as long as the blitzkrieg successfully destroyed the polar bear's industrial manufacturing capabilities!"
"Currently, it seems that Hitler is showing signs of decline. On the one hand, he is bogged down in a protracted war on multiple fronts; on the other hand, he has misjudged the strength and war potential of the Russian bear, and at a critical moment, he has diverted his troops to seize resources in Ukraine, which has delayed the offensive in the Battle of Moscow!"
"There were also logistical supply collapses, geographical and climatic constraints, and insufficient preparation for a winter offensive! In addition, there was the strong will of the defending troops and the advantage of strategic depth. These were all reasons why Hitler failed."
