Part III Blood and Fire War of Resistance Chapter III The Second Battle of Jinpu Road Section II Tra
Jihua secretly flew to Wuhan and immediately went to see Chiang Kai-shek. He arrived at the official residence and took him to the servant room next to him to wait.
"Who are the principal meeting?" Zhuang Jihua sat down casually, and Tang Zong diligently made him a cup of tea, and then replied: "The consultant sent by the Soviet Union seems to be Zhukov."
"Zhukov?" Zhuang Jihua was so excited that even though he was a historical dwarf and a military idiot, he knew that this man had a brilliant record in World War II. Most of the huge battles on the Soviet-German battlefield were driven by him. From the icy and snowy Moscow to Berlin, the main group of the German army was destroyed by him.
"How could Stalin send him to China?" Zhuang Jihua couldn't help asking.
"What?" Tang Zong was a little surprised. With his understanding of Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua attached great importance to this person: "Isn't he just a lieutenant general."
"Don't look at people in the cracks. The army is full of talents. Stalin himself has experienced a long battle. Those who can catch his eyes are definitely not mediocre people." Zhuang Jihua restrained his surprise, picked up the teacup and said calmly.
Tang Zong nodded, and at this time someone came from outside the door. Zhuang Jihua stood up and saluted: "Teacher."
", I'm going to make a plan." Qian Dajun was very satisfied with Zhuang Jihua's actions just now. You should know that Zhuang Jihua's military rank is also an admiral, and he holds an army of 600,000. He is an important official. He is now just the acting director of the General Office of the Military Commission and also serves as the director of the attendant office. Although he is also in a confidential position, Yu Zhuang Jihua is a little worse than that.
"Don't do this in the future, you are now a general." Qian Dajun said with a smile.
"How can the generals and lieutenant generals be given by the state, but teachers and students have their lives." Zhuang Jihua replied solemnly. He knew that if he was exempted from these, there would inevitably be someone who would whisper behind his back. The Huangpu system attaches great importance to these things. He is now in a high position, jealous, and offended countless times, and he must not leave such a handle.
".You are fighting these two battles well." Qian Dajun said after sitting down: "It can be said that it is a battle to turn the tide, not the battle in Nanjing, but it is beyond the expectations of the Japanese. It is also beyond our expectations. We don't know if we can win before this battle. After this battle, we know that we must be the final victory."
When Tang Zong heard this, he was very happy that Dajun was also a member of the low-key club. He was worried about the consequences of the fight, but recently he publicly claimed that he would win the War of Resistance.
"This is all the principal and the leader are good, and the commander is good." Zhuang Jihua himself felt sour, and his face was slightly hot.
However, Qian Dajun didn't seem to see it. He still said to himself: "Some time ago, the principal was so angry that no one was concerned about us. Seeing that Xuzhou was about to win, the Russians came. The Americans also came and said that the British would come a few days later."
Tang Zong admired Zhuang Jihua very much. Look at the steadfast and great jun compared to Zhuang Jihua. Except for the identity of a teacher, no matter how much he compares to other places, he can't compare his military and political achievements. However, Zhuang Jihua still adheres to his student status, respectfully and without any surpassing.
"This is very easy to explain. There is only interests between countries. There is no other." Zhuang Jihua smiled and passed the scene. He also relaxed: "Teacher. Whether it is Americans or Soviet Russia, Britain, are all early guys who can't afford to gain profit. When they saw the Japanese as if they were defeated, they thought we would soon be defeated. In this situation, of course they would not offend the Japanese for us. But now it seems that it is not easy for the Japanese to win. We show our strength to exceed their judgment. At this time, they began to look for the best interests."
"Hitler was causing trouble in Europe, and the Soviet Union was worried that a war would break out in Europe. He wanted to avoid fighting on both sides. As long as we dragged the main force of the Japanese army, the Soviet Union's Far East would be safe. This deal was cost-effective, and Stalin would not lose money.
”
"The United States and Britain also have this reason. In addition to interests in China, even the oil in Nanyang has been jealous for many years and have long wanted to hold it in their arms."
Looking at Zhuang Jihua's appearance as if he was taken for granted, Qian Dajun and Tang Zong exchanged glances, and Qian Dajun laughed and said, "Mr. Liao said back then that it is appropriate to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be in the army. This is true."
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Mr. Liao actually had this idea. Fortunately, he didn't let me go," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and made a face: "Our country is too weak, and I can't stand it."
"Haha, that's right, you've always been arrogant and can't stand that one." Qian Dajun nodded happily in agreement.
The three of them chatted for a while before Qian Dajun said what he was doing: "Soviet Russia expressed its assistance to us as a mechanized army, and the principal is choosing the commander."
Zhuang Jihua had long understood that Qian Dajun must have something to do here, but he didn't expect it to be this: "Teacher wants to be this army commander? Are you wronged? You are a dignified general."
Qian Dajun smiled bitterly: "It would be nothing if it were the commanders of the mechanized army. I was also itchy when I watched you fight on the battlefield. After so many years of civil war, I didn't go to the battlefield but I was a bit regretful." Speaking of this, Qian Dajun leaned forward: "The problem is that the aviation committee is going to be reorganized. The Soviet side sent a volunteer team to aid China, and also provided us with 100 Iran-16 fighter jets."
"Why should the aviation committee be reorganized? Didn't the Air Force fight well?" Zhuang Jihua was a little surprised. Although the Air Force fights well, there is no Air Force in the squadron, but it is managed by the Aviation Committee, with Soong Mei-ling as the director.
"It was because of the fight that was very good, so the Military Commission decided to formally establish the Air Force, and the Chairman agreed.
The Air Force Commander's candidate was still hesitating. Once there was a candidate, Dajun sighed: "This big inner supervisor looks good, and Tang Zong is probably very clear about the pain and so I want to move."
After the two battles in Songhu and Xuzhou, especially in Xuzhou, the Chinese Air Force completely controlled the sky and had a great record, so the establishment of the Air Force was put on the agenda.
Zhuang Jihua understood that Qian Dajun was hesitating between these two positions, asking him to help him make an idea. He thought for a while and said, "My personal opinion is better for the teacher to go to an Air Force general to be the commander. Even if it is China's first mechanized army, it is a bit horrible."
Tang Zong nodded: "Yes, Director Qian, I also know you want to go to the front line, but the commander of the army is indeed not suitable for your identity."
Qian Dajun calmed down and knew that the army commander was not suitable for a general to serve as the commander of the group army. It was almost the same as that of the commander of the Air Force. It was a good choice to be the commander of the Air Force, but the problem was that he did not understand the Air Force.
"No outsiders know this. I am from the Army and don't understand the Air Force." Qian Dajun was a little embarrassed, but he still made it clear.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, there are not many Chinese people who understand the Air Force. Jihuaxin said that you know it yourself. The best position to discriminate against Qian Dajun is that the Chief of Staff of the War Zone is a staff officer. No matter what you can't say, at least he can't say it: "As the commander-in-chief, you just need to do a good job in team building. In addition, Shuming received professional education in the Soviet Union, Baifu (Zhou Zhirou) served in the Aviation Committee for a long time. They are all classmates in the first class. You can listen to his opinions more. If you want to serve as the Air Force, you can find Du Hei's book to see that the development of the Air Force in countries around the world is based on his theory."
Zhuang Jihua talked, just like Qian Dajun was already the commander of the Air Force: "For the Air Force, they lack the main pilots, command systems, and logistics supply systems. In addition, we cannot produce aircraft at the moment. The aircraft factory in Chongqing will take one year to achieve self-production. So, you have to find a cooperative country. Why is it a cooperative country? The main choice is the model. Once the model is formed, it will determine the direction of the development of the Chinese Air Force in the future. There are two main series in the world today, one is the United States and the other is Germany. As far as we are concerned, the main one is the United States and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union's aircraft cannot catch up with the United States. There are also political reasons. We actually have only one choice, the United States. In addition to the model, there are people, air force schools, logistics schools, bases, etc. Considering the process of the war, you must also establish bases and radar stations in Hunan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi. Finally, teacher, you have to learn to fly the plane."
Qian Dajun had a little big head. When the Air Force commander had so many things, he thought he was just organizing the supervision of the battle. He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "It seems that it is difficult for this Air Force commander to fall on me."
"Old, don't be discouraged. To be honest, you are the right candidate," said Zhuang Jihua: "The Air Force starts up and needs a veteran who has outstanding military achievements and the principal trusts to take charge. You are the most suitable one."
"Veter?" Qian Dajun deliberately looked angry: "Is that old? I'm less than fifty."
Zhuang Jihua bowed and smiled: "That's right, that's right, compared to us, you are older than us. This is a fact, don't be angry."
Qian Dajun laughed. Among the Huangpu instructors, Qian Dajun is quite capable and trusted by Chiang Kai-shek. During the Xi'an Incident, in order to protect Chiang Kai-shek, he was shot in the right chest and almost finished playing. After recovering from injury, Chiang Kai-shek still trusted him and served as his chief supervisor. Zhuang Jihua sold him a good deal today, which was considered to be a small amount of money on him.
After chatting for a while, someone came to ask Zhuang Jihua to go over and step into Chiang Kai-shek's office. Zhuang Jihua discovered that there were two foreigners present, and Soong Mei-ling was also sitting aside. The four of them looked at him who came in with a smile.
", let me introduce you to Mr. Wells, the special envoy of President Roosevelt, and this American assistant, Raymond." Soong Mei-ling came forward for the first time.
This high-standard treatment made Zhuang Jihua a little frightened, and he hurriedly said, "Hello, my wife."
Then he looked at Soong Mei-ling and Chiang Kai-shek with a puzzled look. Soong Mei-ling smiled and said, "Mr. Wells hopes to meet you as soon as he comes to China. But you have many inconveniences in Xuzhou. Now, you are back."
"Mr. Zhuang, I have long admired the name." Wells walked over and stretched out his hand: "I didn't expect that you are not only a successful businessman, but also a general who is victorious in every battle. Before I came to China, President Roosevelt specifically told me that I must try to have an interview with you."
"Mr. President has looked down upon me," Zhuang Jihua held his hand, a little thin and a little big: "Mr. Wells, you can come to it already explains a lot of problems. I believe that the people of our country will always remember friends who extended a helping hand to us in the most difficult times."
Chiang Kai-shek stood up with some reservations: "Mr. Wells, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."
Chiang Kai-shek was in a very good mood at this moment. Wells had long asked to meet Zhuang Jihua, but Zhuang Jihua had no time and was not convenient to go to Xuzhou, where there was a mixture of fish and dragons, and it was difficult to keep the secret. He also wanted Zhuang Jihua to come back, but the negotiations with the United States were not going smoothly. The United States was still hesitant about the prospects of the war. Although it provided some help, it could not meet China's huge needs. Now that Zhuang Jihua is here, with the cunning of this little fox, he will definitely be able to take more things out of Wells.
After sitting down, Wells spoke first: "General Zhuang, President Roosevelt, sent me to understand the situation of the war in China. I want to hear your concern for this war.
What prediction?"
"I think you have heard some opinions about this war. Some people in our country are pessimistic, some people are optimistic, and my attitude is between them. We have achieved a huge victory in the Battle of Xuzhou. The Japanese will not let it go. They will continue to attack, which means that the Battle of Xuzhou has not become a turning point in the war..."
Zhuang Jihua analyzed the advantages and disadvantages between China and Japan in detail to Wells, Japan's war ability, and China will adopt the strategy. Finally, he said: "Mr. Venice, this will be a long war. We will drag down Japan and Japan. The destruction of Japan will first appear in the economy. The war will consume a lot of his funds and materials. The Japanese economy will be completely dragged down by this war. The anti-China economy will be strengthened in the war. Why will the two countries have completely different results? This is because the war requires us to build a large number of factories serving the war, which will stimulate our economic development. We do not need to import raw materials from foreign countries. Except for oil, we can find all raw materials in China. We do not need a navy and can invest all resources into the army and air force. After Japan's economic failure, he was unable to import oil and rubber from Southeast Asia, so he will take the most primitive method and grab it."
"You mean Japan will march southward and towards Indochina?" Wells asked with a frown, a view he had heard several times in the past few days, but he still didn't believe it: "That is, Japan will declare war?"
"You are completely correct." Zhuang Jihua stood up, lifted the kettle and added water to the teacup in front of Wells, and then like an old friend: "Lao Wei, don't think I'm exaggerating. In fact, we all know that Britain is a declining empire, but he is no longer able to maintain a huge colony now. In addition, Germany's actions in Europe show that the second European war is about to begin and Britain is facing the threat of Germany. Mr. Wells, Britain is no longer able to protect his interests in Indochina, and Japan sees this clearly, so he is now eager to conquer China, at least stop the war, and then quietly wait for the outbreak of the European war. Once Britain and France are defeated, he will march towards the South Ocean and seize the oil and rubber there."
Wells will be silent: "As far as I know, Britain, France and Germany will resolve the conflict of interest between them in Munich."
"Hitler's request will be fully satisfied," Zhuang Jihua smiled: "But this is the worst result. The door to war has been opened. Hitler will further make demands on Poland. What should Britain and France do?"
"no, no, Hitler's head of state Sudeten was his last territorial claim in Europe." Wells didn't believe it, his head shook like a rattle.
"I'm wrong, there's a Danze." Zhuang Ji added calmly.
Wei Rouru's head was a little overwhelmed. He thought about it and seemed that there was such a place, but he couldn't remember it in detail.
But Zhuang Jihua didn't allow him to think clearly and fired him: "For your country, there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now. If President Roosevelt seizes this opportunity, he can establish the United States' leadership over the world in the next hundred years."
Wells looked at Zhuang Jihua with his eyes filled with worries, shocked and unbelievable.
"What your country needs to do now is to support our country now, support Britain in the future, use our country and Britain to delay Japan and Germany. Taking advantage of this period, your country will come forward to establish a system to maintain world peace, establish the US dollar as the central position of the world's monetary system, establish the United States' economic strong position in the world, and finally send troops to clean up the mess, just like President Wilson."
"Then what were you doing at that time?" Wells was not confused by the beautiful prospects depicted by Zhuang Jihua, but asked curiously.
"At that time, we were building warships and planes by the sea." Zhuang Jihua said in a plain tone: "Because the Japanese army on the mainland has been wiped out by us, we are preparing to attack the Japanese mainland."
"General Zhuang, your analysis makes some sense, but I keep my mind on some of your conclusions, but I will still tell Mr. President," Wells forced down all kinds of thoughts that surged into his heart, and looked at Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek and said slowly: "In addition, General, I want to know where the front will be before the end of the year? How will your country develop your war potential."
"Western of Xuzhou and east of Wuhan." Zhuang Jihua replied without hesitation.
Chiang Kai-shek was shocked and looked at Zhuang Jihua with some disbelief. Zhuang Jihua looked at Wells in a daze. Wells looked at Zhuang Jihua in confusion. After a while, he realized: "General Zhuang, what do you mean is that Xuzhou will be lost?"
"Yes," Zhuang Jihua said that since he obtained the information, he has been thinking about how to break the Japanese attack, but he has never found a way to defeat the Japanese army east of Xuzhou. He can only lure the Japanese army west of Xuzhou and disperse its strength before he has a chance.
"You just presided over the Fifth War Zone, don't say anything casually." Chiang Kai-shek was also surprised and a little unhappy.
"Yes, principal." Having said that, Zhuang Jihua gave Chiang Kai-shek a wink, indicating that there was another reason.
Considering Zhuang Jihua's past achievements, Chiang Kai-shek stopped talking, but just looked at him with interest, how to make it happen.
