Germany, Berlin.

In Hitler's office, Göring, the second-ranking figure in the Nazi Party, and his chosen confidant, Himmler, now the head of the Gestapo, were reporting important intelligence to Hitler with a mustache sitting behind his desk.

Himmler, a murderous maniac and executioner who was talked about in the German party, government and military circles, would behave very cautiously and respectfully.

He said to Hitler in a very respectful tone: "Dear Prime Minister, the Battle of Coulomb in the Far East is over, and the Chinese Communist Army has achieved a comprehensive victory.

After taking Kulun, the Chinese ** team, under the command of its desert fox Zhang Lingfu, swept through the entire Outer Mongolia in the way of autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

After that, the Nationalist Government continued to increase its troops in Outer Mongolia, but the Soviet army failed to arrive in time because the Trans-Siberian Railway, a strategic transportation line, was damaged by Chinese air strikes.

Zhang Lingfu currently has hundreds of thousands of troops on the Sino-Soviet border, and the Soviet army is forced to stop advancing and standby."

"Oh? How did the Soviets react to this?" Hitler asked in surprise.

"At present, it seems that Moscow has not issued the latest instructions on this, and the two sides are still in a confrontation." Himmler replied.

Hitler thought for a while and suddenly said to Göring: "Go and invite Mr. Zhou from China. I want to have talks with him."

Goering was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Yes, I will inform Mr. Zhou right away."

Moscow, Kremlin Building 1.

In Stalin's office, Lavrenti Pavlovich Beria, the current member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union and Stalin's absolute confidant, was fearfully bearing the wrath of the former.

"You bastards, you are a bunch of idiots. I have withdrawn all the officers at division level and above in the Far East Military Region. I will send the supreme commander to a military court immediately..." After learning that Kulun had been lost and the entire Outer Mongolia had returned to China, Stalin roared extremely angrily.

With.

Beria nodded in agreement, and finally asked cautiously: "Dear leader, how should we deal with the current situation in the Far East? The frontline troops are facing many difficulties now.

The Chinese Air Force dominates the skies in the Far East, and they continue to raid our railways, bridges and important locations for garrisoning troops and supplies.

Moreover, the morale of the Chinese ** team is high. Our army’s morale has been low due to the successive defeats in the Far East War, and we have rashly started a war. I’m afraid..."

Before Beria could finish his words, Stalin opened his eyes wide and roared: "That's enough. I don't want to hear these excuses. What I want is victory. Do you understand victory?"

Beria quickly lowered his head: "Yes, I understand."

However, before Stalin could re-appoint a new commander, he issued an offensive order to the Far East Military Region.

News spread from Germany about its formal alliance with the Republic of China.

Although Stalin was very angry, in view of the changes in the international situation and the unfavorable situation in the Far East, he finally had to order the troops sent to the Far East to garrison on the spot, ending this undisclosed local border conflict in an extremely dishonorable manner.

After provoking war three times and ending in failure three times, it is not difficult to guess how angry Stalin was.

Therefore, just after the armistice order was issued, he strictly ordered all domestic military-industrial enterprises and departments to immediately launch full-scale research and development work to improve the Soviet army's weapons and equipment as soon as possible.

This also paved the way for the Soviet-German war of unprecedented scale and brutality.

One month later. Nanjing City.

Zhang Lingfu made a triumphant return to Nanjing from the Mongolian border.

Zhang Xinghan led members of the Executive Yuan and the Military Commission to greet him personally at the Nanjing Military Airport.

At the same time, there were tens of thousands of Nanjing citizens at the scene, vying to be the first to witness the demeanor of the second national hero after Zhang Xinghan.

Under the escort of four BF109 fighter jets, the transport plane Zhang Lingfu was riding landed smoothly and safely.

As soon as the cabin door opened, Zhang Lingfu walked out with his adjutant Zhang Xiaofu. The moment he walked out of the cabin, several dazzling flashes of light froze the scene forever.

This photo appeared in the China Daily the next day, showing the triumphant return of General Zhang Lingfu, China’s desert fox and national hero.

Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others took a few steps forward with smiles. Seeing this, Zhang Lingfu and Zhang Xiaofu hurriedly came over and saluted: "The labor committee members are here to greet you. Lingfu is very frightened!"

"Lingfu welcomes you back in triumph. You have made great achievements for the country and the nation. It is only right that we come to welcome you." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.

"It's an honor to be appointed. Lingfu just fulfilled his duty as a soldier." Zhang Lingfu said humbly.

"Okay, let's not be polite here. Let's go back to the city quickly. Hundreds of thousands of people in the capital are eagerly waiting to see the Desert Fox." Jiang Baili joked with a smile.

………………

"Commissioner, Duke Zhou is back." Guo Zhong walked into the office of the Chairman of the Military Commission and reported to Zhang Xinghan.

"Really? Please invite him in quickly." Zhang Xinghan ordered.

Guo Zhong quickly left and returned, leading the smiling Duke of Zhou to walk vigorously.

Zhang Xinghan hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to greet him. He held Duke Zhou's hand cordially and said, "Gong Zhou, thank you for your hard work!"

Duke Zhou smiled indifferently: "General Zhang, you are serious. It is my responsibility and my honor to contribute to the country and the nation. It is not hard at all."

After some pleasantries, Duke Zhou took out a document and handed it to Zhang Xinghan and said: "This is an official document about our alliance with the Germans. Hitler has already signed it. It will be officially effective after you sign it.

"

"Duke Zhou, didn't I grant you full authority to act on this matter before leaving?" Zhang Xinghan took the document as he spoke.

"Hitler sent Göring, the second-largest figure in the Nazi Party, to China to show the importance he attaches to this alliance. So I think it would be better for you to sign this signature in person," said Zhou Gongdao.

"Oh? Really? What about Goring and others?" Zhang Xinghan asked.

"She should still be on the way. I set off a few days earlier than him, and I'll probably arrive in the next few days," Zhou Gong said.

"Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "Duke Zhou, did Hitler personally greet you when you arrived in Berlin?"

Duke Zhou shook his head and said: "No, we had not formed an alliance at that time, and the German government just sent an ordinary official to greet us."

"That's it." Zhang Xinghan thought for a moment and said, "After Goering comes to China in a few days, you can just randomly send an official from the Executive Yuan to greet him at the airport. This is called equal treatment."

"Will this cause displeasure among the Germans?" Zhou Gong asked worriedly.

"It's okay, Westerners are different from us. We are a country of courtesy and etiquette. They believe in force first. Whoever has the strongest fist is the boss.

To the Germans, we are an equal alliance, not a superior-subordinate relationship. We will welcome their envoys the same way they treat our envoys.

It's fair, the Germans won't think so much, and we can't tolerate them thinking so much. They are more eager than us to have a strong foreign aid ally to break the isolation situation in Europe." Zhang Xinghan said.
