Even if I'm a useless bum at Whampoa Military Academy, I'll be invincible in the War of Re

In Wuhan, a long-awaited press conference is underway, attracting a large number of Chinese and foreign journalists.

The Political Department issued a statement regarding the Jiangcheng Campaign, which was already underway, marking a formal response and expressing the Nationalist government's determination to fight to the end.

These are all procedural steps; the media's involvement is minimal, they are merely mouthpieces.

The real climax came during the Q&A session. Major media outlets had already obtained inside information, and General Zhao Yunwen, who was in the spotlight, was also present and would be interviewed. Everyone was full of anticipation.

The official responses from the Political Department were all prepared in advance and offered nothing new. However, when Zhao Yunwen appeared, thunderous applause erupted.

Under the spotlight, Zhao Yunwen wore a crisp Type 24 military uniform with two gold stars on his lieutenant general's collar. He was tall and upright, with piercing eyes and a deep sense of composure honed by countless fierce battles between his brows. He exuded an iron-blooded aura and commanded respect without anger.

"I am Zhao Yunwen. We can begin now. Who wants to go first?"

Reporters in the audience raised their hands one after another. Following the instructions of the Political Department, Zhao Yunwen gave the first question to a reporter from the Central News Agency, and the others were also willing to accept it.

Although Shen Yueting knew the outcome, she was still very excited. Her mind went blank, and she said in a trembling voice:

"General Zhao, this is Shen Yuexiang from the Central News Agency. This is my second time interviewing you."

The last time was during the Battle of Shanghai, when the general was just an unknown security regiment commander with only a little over a thousand soldiers.

In just over six months, you've become a formidable general commanding tens of thousands of troops and slaying countless enemies. What made you that?

Zhao Yunwen then remembered who had asked the question, and immediately smiled and nodded at her, then said:

"From Shanghai to Wuhan, I've traveled thousands of miles, and things have changed. I'm very happy to see old friends here again."

Generals die in a hundred battles, and brave soldiers return after ten years. This war changed the fate of too many people, including me.

If I were to say what made me who I am, it would naturally be inseparable from the principal's guidance, the soldiers' willingness to fight, and the corpses and blood of the invaders.

With lofty aspirations, we feast on the flesh of the barbarians; laughing and talking, we drink the blood of the Japanese invaders. We soldiers will fight until our lives are over!

Since the first question was pre-arranged, Zhao Yunwen said something that his superiors wanted to hear; he was not a fool.

"Next!"

Many hands were raised, and Zhao Yunwen then selected a domestic reporter. The chosen person excitedly said:

"General Zhao, hello. I am Tan Songlin, a reporter from Shenbao. The Japanese army has launched a fierce attack on Anqing and then launched a series of offensives. The battle to defend Jiangcheng has begun. What is your view on the prospects of this battle?"

Thomas was surprised that Zhao Yunwen knew about this history, which was a source of pride for the British Empire, and journalists from other countries cast gloating glances at him.

Thomas stubbornly insisted:

"That was only a very short period of time, just twenty-four years, and we drove the Danes out."

Zhao Yunwen said with a firm gaze:

"The Chinese people are still fighting. From Shanghai to Wuhan, from the Northeast to the North China Plain, the Chinese people's fight has never stopped, and they have made the invaders pay the price of hundreds of thousands of casualties."

I can tell you with absolute certainty that in less than twenty-four years, China will completely drive out the invaders!

Thomas couldn't press the issue any further, so Zhao Yunwen changed the subject:

"Just recently, the Führer of the Third Reich personally tore up the Treaty of Saint-Germain and the Treaty of Versailles, annexing Austria. This was a slap in the face to the British Empire! Where was your government?! Did you dare say no?"

The hall erupted in uproar. Anyone with even a basic understanding of politics knew that the Treaty of Versailles was a facade to maintain the British Empire's hegemony, bought with the blood of a generation of young people.

Now that it has been torn apart by the Germans, the British Empire doesn't even dare to utter a sound. This is more than just a slap in the face.

Thomas was rendered speechless by Zhao Yunwen's retort, and the latter wisely withdrew.

"Next!"

"General Zhao, I am Anna from the Third Reich. Your command in Zheng County was truly remarkable."

I've noticed something interesting: the troops you command are German-equipped divisions, whose combat capabilities far surpass those of other Nationalist armies.

Is this related to the superior performance of German weaponry? As a victorious general of China, with countless battles under his belt, could you share your views on German weaponry?

A pretty blonde girl raised her hand to speak; she seemed more interested in the application of German weaponry in actual combat, which is understandable.

After the Allied Powers imposed the Treaty of Versailles on Germany, the defeated nation could only retain 100,000 troops, and there were various restrictions on the allocation of weapons. Germany could only obtain combat data from the applications of third-party countries.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Yunwen's face. No one knew what he was thinking. He simply said:

"It must be said that the performance of German-made machines is excellent. They are powerful and accurate. However, they are too sophisticated. Even with the strong industrial strength of the Third Reich, their production will be limited."

In the end, war boils down to the depletion of population and resources. You can sacrifice some performance in exchange for increased production.

Another Westerner raised his hand and said:

"General Zhao, this is Grace from the US. What are your views on the security situation in Europe? Is there a possibility of war?"
