Similar to Western buffet parties, although the New Year's Eve party does not have the delicacies that Chinese people often get at gatherings, it is still a relaxing and enjoyable experience to hold a drink in your hand, walk around among the crowd, and meet three or five colleagues and friends who gather together to chat.

Fang Zida and Li Yuanhong walked around the venue and briefly chatted with the chiefs and deputy chiefs of each department. After the round was completed, Fang Zida, who looked a little tired, went to the lounge at the back. As his secretary, Chen Xunen asked

The person brought the freshly brewed coffee and gently placed it next to Fang Zida who was sitting on the sofa.

Squeezing his sore eyebrows, Fang Zida picked up the coffee and took a sip. As the New Year approaches, he has been very busy these days. He has been spinning for several days, even if his body is made of iron, he can't stand it.

After putting down the coffee, I looked up and saw Chen Xun'en standing aside, hesitant to speak, and couldn't help but ask: "Is something wrong?"

"The list of representatives of the US military has just been sent. Would you like to take a look?"

Chen Xun'en reminded him softly. Only then did Fang Zida remember this and took the handed documents and started reading them.

After the Spring Festival, military cooperation between China and the United States will officially begin. U.S. Ambassador Shulman finally compiled the list before the holiday and reported it to the Chinese State Council. In fact, this is just a procedure. Fang Zida only needs to review it.

Then sign for approval and then forward it to the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff Department for record.

Looking through it casually, Fang Zida had already taken out the pen and was about to sign the document, but when he scanned a person's name, he was slightly startled and his signing hand couldn't help but stop.

It's not that there is any big problem with the list, but Fang Zida actually discovered Douglas MacArthur's name on this list. As a permanent brigadier general of the U.S. military, MacArthur, who had just resigned as the principal of West Point Military Academy, was not sent to the Philippines as usual in history.

The commander of the Manila Military District and the commander of the 23rd Brigade. Instead, he was awarded the title of head of the US military delegation to come to China.

Although MacArthur did not have a high military rank, his status in the military was not low. You must know that after the European War, due to American political reasons, a large number of troops were disbanded, and subsequently a large number of officers lost their military positions and returned to their fields. Now, the military strength of the United States

It has reached an unprecedented low. If it were not for the support of several powerful military giants, the US government would even want to send all soldiers home.

It is for this reason that as a brigadier general, MacArthur is already a high-level military official, not to mention that he has just stepped down as the president of West Point Military Academy. To send such a figure to China, one can imagine how much hope the U.S. military places on this cooperation.

.

"Prime Minister……?"

It seemed that Fang Zida stopped and looked at the list with a strange expression. Chen Xun'en thought there was something wrong with the list and couldn't help but ask.

"Haha. It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Fang Zida smiled lightly, signed the list with a wave of his wrist, and then handed it back to Chen Xun'en: "Inform the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff, and everything will proceed as agreed.

.”

Chen Xun'en nodded in agreement and left quietly to find Duan Zhigui and Wu Peifu. But after a while, Chen Xun'en came back.

"Prime Minister, Chen Zutao is here and wants to see you for something urgent."

"Chen Zutao?" Fang Zida was stunned when he heard this. Today's reception was mainly attended by officials from various ministries of the State Council and military officials. Although Chen Guofu is the director of the Security Bureau, he was not among the invitees due to his special work. The same is true for Zhou Yuanliang, and

Yang Yongtai is an exception. After all, he has other positions in the State Council.

Chen Guofu suddenly came over at this time, and Fang Zida immediately sensed that something had happened, otherwise he would not have been so reckless with his calmness. He straightened up on the sofa, lit a cigar to refresh himself, and Fang Zida asked Chen Xun'en to bring him in.

Soon, Chen Guofu came in. Chen Xun'en stood at the door and helped close the door. He also hired two guards to guard the door and not let anyone get close. As Fang Zida's secretary, Chen Xun'en knew very well what Chen Guofu did. Since he could be here

Time flies by suddenly, and there must be something important to report.

"The Japanese in the Northeast must take action!"

As expected, Chen Guofu didn't say any nonsense after entering the door, and reported directly: "I have just received news that the Manchu relics and the Japanese are preparing to launch a coup in Tonghua and Ji'an in the Northeast."

"Is this news reliable?" Fang Zida didn't believe his ears. The collusion between the Japanese and the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty was not a matter of a day or two. There had been actions before the Sino-Soviet war. However, with the Chinese National Defense Forces on the Sino-Soviet battlefield

The strength they showed, they quietly shrunk

There was nothing more to say after going back. Originally, Fang Zida always thought that after winning the Sino-Soviet War, the Japanese would stop, at least there would be no more actions in a short period of time. But who would have thought that at this time, the Japanese and the Manchus would

The gangsters are planning to launch a coup. Is this a joke?

"The news came back from Jin Jiu. According to his intelligence, the conspirators have arrived in Luxun and are making preparations for the coup. In addition, the Security Bureau has also received similar information from other channels. From these points, it is confirmed

It can be confirmed that this news is extremely reliable.”

"What is the background of the organizer? Is it Japan's High Tech? Or is it the Black Dragon Society?"

Chen Guofu shook his head and said: "This is not very clear yet. Judging from the information currently available, the possibility of special high-tech and the military is more likely."

Fang Zida calmed down and thought about what was going on? Why would the Japanese be eager to carry out a coup with the Manchus at this time? Did he think that Japan's military power in Guandong Prefecture could fight against the Chinese National Defense Force?

You must know that China has just won a war, and China's national strength has been affirmed by the great powers. Even the Americans can't wait to launch comprehensive military exchanges and cooperation with the Chinese military. Under such circumstances, the Japanese did this

Somewhat unreasonable.

Could it be...?

Fang Zida suddenly remembered the signing of the trilateral agreement between China, Russia, and the United States, and also recalled that Marcos had mentioned something about the Japanese when he reminded him. If the Japanese intended to retaliate for this matter, maybe

It makes sense. But is such revenge not afraid of arousing China's anger? You must know that the war between China and Japan is not over, it is just a ceasefire. Regardless of China or Japan, as long as one party is determined, it can start a war again at any time.

Speaking of starting another war, Fang Zida had already had a plan. After defeating the Soviets, Fang Zida set his next target on Japan in the east. In his opinion, the only way to defeat Japan is to completely defeat Japan and take back what the Japanese call Kanto Prefecture and Taiwan.

Only then can China become a truly powerful country. Otherwise, if a powerful country's territory is occupied by another country and its troops are stationed to show off its power, the country's revival will only be superficial.

The doubts in his heart were just speculations. Fang Zida couldn't figure out what the Japanese were thinking for a while. But the changes before him still surprised him greatly, because according to his plan, the time for China and Japan to start war again is not now, but in the future.

After a while, if a war started immediately, he would still be unprepared in many aspects.

Japan is different from the Soviet Union. Japan is far away overseas and has the most powerful fleet in the Far East. No matter how hard China's national defense forces fight, they will never be able to cross the sea and land directly on the Japanese mainland. Although China has an air force and a navy, it can use Chinese Air Force aircraft.

Calculated in terms of combat radius, it is still unable to reach the level of fighting directly across the sea. It can fly higher and fly farther.

Longer-range bombers are still in the process of experimentation, not to mention fighter jets with a smaller combat radius. As for the navy, after several years of construction, it has developed rapidly. The aircraft carrier built by China has not yet been formally equipped. Compared with the powerful Japanese fleet,

, the Chinese navy still cannot gain an advantage. It is precisely because of this that Fang Zida will put Japan to the end to solve it.

"Find out their situation, especially the time of the coup, and the true intentions of the participants and Japan." After thinking about it, Fang Zida ordered Chen Guofu. Chen Guofu agreed one by one, and asked hesitantly before leaving: "Is it appropriate?

To disclose some information to the Northeast local government and the local garrison? Of course, the necessary confidentiality work and the Security Bureau will follow up and the information will not be leaked to the outside."
