Weber did not directly raise his own questions. He knew very well to a general like He Zhuguo. If he didn't want to answer, you would not get any real news from him.

Following the road, several people slowly walked forward, and the fields were filled with the joy of a bumper harvest. There were wheat and wheat everywhere everywhere. Bai Xiude was right. This bumper harvest greatly resolved the grain shortage in North China. Although the National Government exempted the agricultural taxes of several provinces in North China, the National Rescue Association of various places organized people to offer grain to save the country, and a large amount of grain was sent to Pingjin and to eastern Hebei.

The bumper harvest of summer grain made the National Government feel relieved from top to bottom. With the end of the adjustment of food and personnel, the offensive sentiment in the entire war zone became even higher, but the war zone headquarters remained silent.

Turning around the woods, Weber unexpectedly saw Wu Ziniu standing in front. In front of him was Zhuang Jihua, Li Zhilong and Feng Gui. They seemed to be talking about something, and Feng Gui laughed loudly.

Webber and the other two were a little stunned, as if they were wondering why they had appeared here so early and whether they should go forward, but He Guozhu went straight over. Only then did Webber understand why He Zhuguo wanted to walk with them, so he followed him.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Zhuang Jihua and the others turned their heads and saw He Zhuguo and the others, and they greeted them. The few people soon got together.

"General Zhuang, who are you waiting for?" Webber asked curiously. He felt like Charles that it was no accident that Zhuang Jihua and the others appeared here today.

Zhuang Jihua nodded without hiding it: "Director Xiong is coming today, I'm waiting for him here."

Weber immediately understood who they were waiting for. Chiang Kai-shek separated the Northeast's combat power and administrative power Zhuang Jihua was responsible for the fight against Xiong Shihui: After Chiang Kai-shek announced this decision, it caused a great sensation in the diplomatic circle and the press team. Diplomats generally believed that this was the reason for the political differences between Chiang Kai-shek and his most capable generals. This is likely to represent Chiang Kai-shek's post-war policy.

This judgment was not approved by reporters, and Charles believed that this meant that before the end of the war, the Chinese government had begun to solve the potential threat of military generals' self-respecting force. The separation of general's power and administrative power was the most effective means to eliminate the emergence of new warlords.

But Weber did not agree with Charles' judgment, nor did he agree with the judgment of diplomats. He believed that Chiang Kai-shek's move was not only because of political differences with Zhuang Jihua, but more importantly, Zhuang Jihua's political attitude was unclear, and there was a rift between the two, which was proved in the removal of the commander of Zhuang Jihua's expeditionary army a few years ago.

Weber was famous among reporters as a reporter, and his views were not recognized by Charles and others. On the contrary, Bai Xiude believed that the Northeast region was more sensitive to the Soviet Union and Russia. Zhuang Jihua has always been tough on the outside and Xiong Shihui was relatively gentle. Chiang Kai-shek made such an arrangement, which shows that after the war, Zhuang Jihua would be transferred from the Northeast, and the Northeast would be in the hands of the more gentle Xiong Shihui.

There are many rumors, but both Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuang Jihua remained silent, and their external attitudes were surprisingly consistent. They all believed that soldiers should not interfere in politics, and local administration should be handed over to civilians with administrative experience.

After accepting the position of director of the Northeast Headquarters, Xiong Shihui did not immediately leave for the Northeast Headquarters, but established the Northeast Headquarters office in Chongqing. Then he went to Peking for a while and stayed in Beiping. During this period, he did not visit Zhuang Jihua, and Zhuang Jihua did not go to Beisu to see him.

The situation between the two made the reporters talk in the si, believing that the Northeast has not yet been restored and the signs of fighting for power and profit have been shown, which is not beneficial to the Northeast. However, unexpectedly, Xiong Shihui was going to the headquarters today, and Zhuang Jihua was waiting here early in the morning.

Weber looked around and saw that except for the few people in front of him, anyone else from the theater command came to greet him, which was also rare in the Chinese field. There were many deputy commanders of the Northeast War Zone, except He Zhu, and there were Sun Zhen and Yu Jishi. However, Yu Jishi was treated in Peking Hospital. Before he arrived at the theater command, Sun Zhen was still in Rehe: he was not in the headquarters. The theater chief Xu Zuyi went to the front line of Shanhaiguan and was still not in the headquarters.

But even so, He Wei, the Director of the General Staff Department, Gong Chu, the Deputy Chief of Staff Department, Lin Huaibin, the Director of the Logistics Department, Cai Tingcuo, the Director of the Intelligence Department, and Wang Xiaoshan, but no one came.

Even though Zhuang Jihua and He Zhuguo were waiting here, the scene still seemed deserted.

"General Xiong is here today?" Bai Xiude was obviously a little surprised. After years of practice, the war zone news release system is now very mature. Generally, major news will be released in advance, but Xiong Shihui is hidden from him today, which makes him smell a strange smell.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, Feng Gui and Li Zhilong looked at them with a smile, and He Zhuguo smiled and said, "Director Xiong just called last night and he specifically told him not to be too arrogant. Now the whole country is implementing a new life and opposing extravagance and waste. Director Xiong is also a new life."

Zhuang Jihua also smiled and said, "In fact, the new and old life are essentially about saving. The country is financially difficult, and the whole country is working together to overcome difficulties. Since we officials are called public servants, we should naturally be ahead. We cannot let the people save money. Let's be extravagant."

Zhuang Jihua often canceled his official status in Siouxun like this. Li Zhilong and Feng Gui and others have long been accustomed to it, and He Zhuguo has also been used to it during the past few months of contact.

Everyone laughed and Li Zhilong sighed a little: "Twelve years have passed, and we can finally see victory. To be honest, the Cultural Revolution, 12 years ago, I went to Nanjing to find you. Tell me that we will win. Although I believe it, I didn't expect that I really defeated the Japanese newspaper in just twelve years."

Zhuang Jihua smiled and shook his head, saying insincerely: "I didn't expect that at that time, I could only cheer everyone up like this. If I didn't even have confidence, the brothers below would be even less confident." Speaking of this, Zhuang Jihua looked up at the distance of the road: "But the war has not ended yet, and it is only one last step away from the end of the ninety-nine steps. However, the war has reached today, and it will be a matter of time before the Japanese surrender. Li Mei, Gao Zhihang began an air strike on Japan and we have already burned the war to Japan." "The islands of Japan may not be able to withstand a few days of bombing." Li Zhilong looked cheerful.

"If it were a few days earlier, it would be clear that it would be clear now." Feng Gui nodded, holding a cigarette in his hand, and a smile on his thin face: "This victory of the Americans can end the war in one year." Americans' victory? Weber and Charles Bai Xiude were a little confused. Although the United States has won many victories in the Pacific, to be honest, it has not decided to win. MacArthur is still on the way back to the Philippines. The Pacific Fleet commanded by Nimitz has not yet been able to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the Combined Fleet still has strong strength.

Zhuang Jihua saw their expressions and understood that they did not know the latest war report, so he explained: "The war report from this early morning, General Spruenz won a huge victory in the Mariana Naval Battle, sunk three Japanese aircraft carriers, shot down more than 600 Japanese aircraft aircraft, and sank seven other Japanese ships except aircraft carriers. The US military has defeated Saipan. Japanese defenders are now cleaning up the remaining enemies across the island. Another US military landed on Guam and occupied Guam airport."

The Battle of Mariana has been raining for a long time, but it finally came out. Weber and Bai Xiude couldn't help but express joy. Charles waved his arm and shouted, "good!good!" Everyone felt relieved. As an island country, the United Fleet always guarded the "Japan". If they could not defeat the United Fleet, they could not force the "Japan" to surrender, let alone land in "Japan".

The Kuril Islands, Mariana is the absolute defense circle that Japan publicly claims. Although China has liberation of Shandong, this absolute defense circle has been broken from the west.

The Battle of Mariana not only severely damaged the joint fleet, but also more importantly, it tore the Japanese defense circle from the east. The US Air Force took off from Saipan and attacked Japan on both sides with China. In addition, it also cleared the obstacles to the attack on Okinawa. As long as Okinawa conquered, the road to China could be opened, and the fleet could sail into the port of China, which could shorten the journey of tens of thousands of kilometers.

Charles and Bai Xiude excitedly talked about the impact of this battle, but Weber took the time to interrupt and asked: "General Zhuang, all fronts have been victorious, and the Northeast War Zone's attack on the Northeast is about to begin. So will the Jiangnan War Zone also launch an attack on Jiangnan at the same time?"

In the early morning, there was a kind of coolness and freshness in the air. It was no longer late. The number of people on the road and in the fields gradually increased. A team of patrol soldiers came out of the village. It looked calm, but in fact it was very cautious. There were guard posts and reinforced machine gun bunkers at all intersections within five miles. Soldiers could check the identity of pedestrians at any time. The patrol team continued for 24 hours, and there were double and secret whistles at the entrance and in the village.

No one answered Weber's question. Weber shook his head with a wry smile. He stayed by Zhuang Jihua for a long time, knew some of his situation, and knew that he would not answer since he had no answer.

"It seems that this is another military secret." Weber was very regretful, but then asked again: "General Zhuang, China and the United States have achieved great victory. I don't know if the Soviet Union has been moving frequently." Zhuang Jihua immediately answered, but his eyes were staring at several cars flying by: "According to the information we have obtained, the Soviet army is preparing to attack. The Japanese army in the outer Xing'anling area is weak, with almost no Japanese army, mainly puppet troops." "Mr. Weber" Zhuang Jihua was talking, and a burst of rapid footsteps came from behind. Zhuang Jihua turned his head and saw Shangguan Jun running quickly. Looking at Shangguan Jun's expression, his expression was a bit strange, a little excited, and a little moved, which seemed not bad news.

However, Zhuang Jihua still stopped, and Shangguan Jun ran over to report: "Captain Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 103rd Army, had already received Captain Song and Major General Merrill." Zhuang Jihua was a little disobedient when he heard this. He took a step forward and almost grabbed the telegram and started reading it. After reading it in a hurry, his expression was a little worried.

The telegram was clearly stated that Zhang Lingfu received Song Yunfei and Merrill's troops. Merrill's troops were all, but there were still some special forces, with about 100 people under Fan Chunshen, taking on enemy missions and leading the Japanese army to the northwest of Harbin.

This attack on the special train was a complete success, and the losses of the special forces and the contingent were also considerable. The special forces lost more than 60 people. This was not the case with the enemy's Fan Chunshen team. The Merrill's contingent suffered greater losses, about one-third of the losses, but they finally brought back all the prisoners and some of the information...
