    But Zhong Yi¡¯s efforts were obviously in vain.

    His articles published in the Central Daily News and the Central News Agency did not cause much trouble among the top leaders of the national government, and the National Government did not take targeted preventive measures as a result.

    On the contrary, the Japanese government has aroused certain vigilance.

    After reading this article by Zhong Yi, Hirohito immediately summoned the Minister of the Interior Yuasa Kurahira to inquire about the situation.

    "Yuasa-kun." Hirohito photographed the article in front of Yuasa Kurahira and said in a deep voice, "What's going on with this article?"

    Yuasakura Heihayi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I can guarantee that there will be no leaks within the empire. This article should be just a coincidence."

    "Is it a coincidence?" Hirohito frowned.

    Next to him, Tojo Hideki also said: "I think it's a coincidence."

    Hirohito said: "Actually, I don't worry about China. Even if China knows the empire's plan in advance, it doesn't matter. But if the United States knows the empire's plan and takes precautions in advance, it will be troublesome."

    After a pause, Hirohito continued: "So we must deceive, notify the Kwantung Army, immediately try to create friction at Nomenkan or elsewhere, pretend to cooperate with Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, and then notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send negotiations to the United States.  On behalf of the team, we can make appropriate concessions and show greater sincerity.¡±

    "Hai!" Hideki Tojo paused.

    In the United States, Washington.

    Secretary of State Hull walked into the Oval Office and said respectfully: "Mr. President, it's time for you to meet with the British envoy."

    "No, all subsequent arrangements are cancelled." Roosevelt waved his hand and said, "Immediately summon the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and senior advisers to the White House for a meeting."

    Hull looked stern and quickly asked his secretary to notify relevant personnel.

    When the secretary left, Hull asked again: "Mr. President, what happened?"

    "You read this article first." Roosevelt said and handed over the newspaper excerpt in his hand.

    "China's Central Daily News, a signed article by General Zhong Yi?" Hull's expression condensed and he began to read it carefully.

    A few minutes later, after Hull finished reading, Roosevelt asked: "Hull, what do you think of this article about General Zhong Yi?"

    Hull frowned and said, "It cannot be said that General Zhong Yi's judgment is unreasonable, but I think it is unlikely that the Japanese army will send troops to Southeast Asia."

    After a pause, he added: "The possibility of the Japanese army sending troops to the Far East is obviously higher."

    "What's the reason?" Roosevelt asked, "Why is it more likely that the Japanese army will send troops to the Far East?"

    "The reason is very simple." Hull said, "If the Japanese army sends troops to Southeast Asia, it will risk war with the United States and Britain, but if it sends troops to the east, it only needs to declare war on the Soviet Union."

    After saying this, Hull continued: "At present, the United Kingdom has defeated Germany's Sea Lion plan. Although it is unable to counterattack, the foundation of a superpower is still there. Our industrial base in the United States far exceeds that of Japan, so Japan should not  It was so arrogant that it declared war on the United States and Britain at the same time, but the Soviet Union is different. The Soviet Union is now in turmoil and its demise is imminent, so I think Japan has a greater chance of beating the Soviet Union."

    Roosevelt said: "But the Far East does not have the resources that Japan urgently needs."

    "No, it is available in the Far East." Hull said. "In addition to rubber, other materials in the Far East are available in Southeast Asia and the Far East. As for rubber, it is not only available in Southeast Asia, but also in China. The Japanese army can completely cooperate with Germany to occupy the Far East and then march into Guangxi.  , we can obtain sufficient rubber resources.¡±

    Roosevelt frowned and said, "So Japan will really send troops to the Far East?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, a female secretary hurried in with a folder.

    After reading the documents in the folder, Roosevelt had a strange look on his face.

    "Hull, you have your say." Roosevelt said, "Japan looks really ready to send troops to the Far East."

    "Really?" Hull said proudly, "I have said long ago that Japan would never have the guts to declare war with the United States and Britain at the same time. Not only do they not have the guts, they do not have the strength to match it."

    "Hull, what you said is reasonable, but we should still listen to the military's opinion." Roosevelt nodded and said, "If the military also agrees with your judgment, then what you say is reasonable."

    Another month passed in the blink of an eye.

    Time came quietly to early December of 1940.

    Zhong Yi has been serving as the president of Army University for two months.

     After two months of teaching, the students in the fifth period of the special class have basically mastered the basic theories of infantry-artillery coordination, infantry-tank coordination, and blitzkrieg.

    At the same time, students from the 15th, 16th, and 17th regular classes also began to use infantry and artillery coordination and infantry-tank coordination.

    However, the fifth special class, under the leadership of Zhong Yi, started the practice of infantry and artillery coordination tactics first.

    Li Gengu kept his word. After Zhong Yi helped him solve the anti-aircraft machine gun problem, he temporarily lent an artillery regiment directly under the Chongqing Garrison Command to the Army University.

    This artillery regiment is equipped with 31 Bofors Mountain Cannon.

    Although the caliber is only 75mm, which is a bit small, the performance of the Bufors Mountain Cannon is still acceptable.

    After a morning of exercises, by noon, more than a hundred trainees from the fifth period of the special class finally returned to the station.

    When the students returned to the station, they smelled the tempting aroma of meat. They ran to the kitchen and took a look. Oh, my dear, braised pork was being stewed in a big pot over a warm fire.

    "Yes, we have braised pork for lunch today."

    "Our food has become increasingly poor recently."

    "That's right, don't look at our principal. With Principal Zhong here, how can we make students like us suffer?"

    "Let me tell you, when Principal Zhong was in Yinjiang, he was only the chief of staff of the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps. I heard people say that tens of thousands of people in the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps had meat to eat every meal."

    While talking, Zhong Yi walked over surrounded by several instructors.

    "Principal! Principal!" The students who were resting stood up and saluted.

    "Everyone, sit down, everyone, sit down." Zhong Yi waved his hand for the students to take their seats, and then said, "I just saw the effect of the bombardment. It was much better than the previous two times. It has made great progress, but it is still far from excellent."

    After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Do you know what your problem is?"

    Li Yueshen, who was sitting on the edge, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Principal, I probably know."

    "Say it." Zhong Yi signaled Li Yueshen to speak boldly.

    Xu Yueshen stood up and said: "We have not thoroughly inspected the terrain, selected the best breakthrough point based on the characteristics of the terrain, and made a targeted artillery preparation plan."

    "Correct!" Zhong Yi nodded happily, "That's it!"

    "After lunch, you all go to Guanjin Mountain to have a look. You will know what to do next time." After finishing speaking, Zhong Yi waved his hand and shouted, "Eat now!"

    The students immediately cheered.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
