Chapter 821 Comrade Lieutenant General
"Commissioner, the delegation from America has entered Yunnan. They seem to be planning to go directly to North China and not stop in Chongqing. You see..."
Dai Li carefully observed the Chairman's expression, but to his surprise, there was no anger on the Chairman's face, but calm as usual.
After reading the documents on his desk, the chairman raised his head and said:
"No matter what method the military commander uses, Americans must stay in Yunnan and cannot go north for the time being."
Dai Li was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the chairman of the committee meant by making such an arrangement, Lian Lu looked confused.
“I have some guesses about the purpose of the U.S. delegation’s visit to China this time. Chongqing is the seat of the central government. This time Jiangdong cannot act as recklessly as before!
Regarding the future strategic direction of the country and the interests of the entire nation, North China must obey the leadership of the central government!"
Jiangdong had previously gone to the General Staff and sent a telegram to the Military Commission, asking both sides to unify their positions during external negotiations so that China would have only one voice to speak and no budding split would occur.
The chairman of the committee agreed with Jiangdong's proposal, but at the same time he must also maintain the authority of the central government.
After listening to the Chairman's words, Dai Li suddenly became nervous.
'Don't you think the chairman of the committee will continue to condone Jiangdong?'
'As always, force is the most effective and fastest way to solve problems.'
While he was making random guesses, the chairman of the committee said to Wang Shihe beside him:
"Shihe, you have a good relationship with Jiangdong. Go to Peking in person and explain what I mean!"
Wang Shihe got involved with Jiangdong very early. As Jiangdong continued to grow and expand, he also received many practical benefits.
Because of Jiangdong's relationship, everyone in the Military Commission was more polite to him than before.
In the entire Chongqing government, he was the only one who could speak between the Chairman and Jiang Dong.
Wang Shihe's face showed a rare look of shock. The Chairman's words were tough, but there was a faint plan to discuss them behind the words. Wang Shihe was also a little unsure about his meaning and asked:
"Commissioner, what should we do if Jiangdong disagrees and insists on meeting with foreign delegations?"
The chairman looked at Dai Li and Wang Shihe, suddenly laughed, shook his head and said:
"There is only one government and one country in this land!
The Anti-Japanese War has just come out of its most difficult period. I think Jiangdong is unwilling to see the warlords fighting each other again and the people are in dire straits!
You just need to express the government's intentions clearly, and Jiangdong will understand!"
Wang Shihe and Dai Li seemed to understand.
"Time is running out, you all should go do your own things!"
The chairman waved his hand.
Wang Shihe and Dai Li bowed and left.
After walking out of the chairman's office, Dai Li asked tentatively:
"Director Wang, what do you mean by Chairman? I'm a little confused!"
Wang Shihe glanced at Dai Li meaningfully and said:
"Director Dai is a smart man, he must have understood what the Chairman meant, haha...
I have to go to Peking again, so I won’t talk to Director Dai anymore, so I’ll say goodbye!”
After Wang Shihe left, Dai Li's face suddenly fell, his smile disappeared instantly, and his eyes became cold and cunning.
As Jiangdong conquered North China and Northeast China, the status of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Sixth Corps also increased.
It is difficult for the military to develop its power in the above two places!
On the contrary, Jiangdong's military intelligence agency has aggressively expanded domestically and abroad, and spies have even been planted under Dai Yunong's nose. It can be described as lawless.
Even so, Dai Li can't do anything against the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Just because behind the Military Intelligence Bureau stands Jiangdong and an army of one million people.
Dai Li not only did not dare to touch the Military Intelligence Bureau, but also called on his subordinates to cooperate with the Military Intelligence Bureau, hoping to handle the relationship between the two parties and create a good impression in Jiangdong's mind.
It became increasingly difficult for him to understand the Chairman's thoughts.
If the Chairman of the Generalissimo is determined to use force to solve the problem of the Sixth Corps, then Dai Li and his Military Command Bureau must be the vanguard and serve to the death!
But now the chairman's attitude is very ambiguous, leaving Dai Li and his people unable to find a way to do things.
Dai Li thought for a moment alone in the corridor, then put away his thoughts and strode out of the military committee.
The size and level of the American delegation are not low. It will take a lot of effort to drag this group of people in Yunnan!
…
Chita!
A combat map of the Manchuria region hung in front of General Apanashenko and Major General Khachanov, which clearly marked the attack position of the Chinese troops and the last living space of the Japanese Kwantung Army.
The situation between the two armies is extremely clear, and the situation on the map is still updating in real time.
General Apanashenko looked at the location of Changchun and sighed in admiration:
"In 20 days, the Chinese wiped out nearly one million Kwantung Army troops! Ueda Kenkichi and his troops have been surrounded. As long as the Chinese are willing, they can win the Northeast War at any time!
Comrade Khachanov, have you ever thought that the Chinese could have the strength they have today?"
Major General Khachanov was also looking at the map of Northeast China. He shook his head and nodded, and said in a leisurely voice:
“I went to China before the Wuhan Battle started. At that time, the Chinese army’s weapons and equipment were backward and morale was low!
I also participated in the battle deployment of the Wuhan Battle and made many battle plans with the Chinese!
To be honest, in the battle plans I made, Chinese soldiers were required to use their lives to stop the Japanese invasion!
Even if they have to exchange eight Chinese soldiers for one Japanese, the Chinese generals will give the order without hesitation, because they have no other choice at that time!
The Japanese have powerful naval and aviation forces, but the Chinese exhausted their air force and navy in the first three months of the war!
At that time, I only hoped that the Chinese could hold on for a while longer and not surrender too early. I never thought that one day they would take the initiative to regain lost ground and beat the crap out of the Japanese!
The first time I met Jiang Dong, I was attracted by the unique temperament exuding from this young Chinese general. He was different from the generals during the Wuhan Battle. Jiang Dong had the light of hope and revenge in his eyes at the same time!
What surprised me the most is that in addition to his superb military attainments, Jiangdong also understands people's livelihood, education, science and technology, economy, politics and international relations...
I have personally participated in several counterattacks organized by Jiangdong. Comrade General, Jiangdong's commanding ability on the battlefield may not be as good as yours or General Zhukov!
But he has an advantage that ordinary people do not have, that is, he can see all the factors related to the war and make use of all these factors between the enemy and ourselves!
Such as international politics, public opinion propaganda, etc.!
After that, I felt that he would become stronger and stronger, and finally soar into the sky!
It's just that he became stronger faster than I expected!
This person...this person..."
Major General Khachanov thought of Jiangdong's eyes when he looked at Lake Baikal. He hesitated, but in the end did not express his worries.
After listening to Khachanov's words carefully, General Apanashenko sighed and said:
"China has a tough general. I don't know whether such a thing is good or bad for the great Soviet Union!"
Both of them stopped talking, each thinking about their own thoughts, while the staff once again updated the enemy and enemy situations on the map.
The Sixth Corps has occupied Yongji, Yitong, Gongzhuling and other places, completely surrounding Changchun.
After a long time, Khachanov changed the subject and said:
"Comrade General, Moscow hasn't found a way to restrain the enemy's new tanks, has it?"
1,500 Tiger tanks defeated the Soviet Red Army. The few T34 tanks equipped by the Western Front were vulnerable to the Tigers, not to mention other older tanks and armored vehicles.
Germany's army and air force have greatly increased in strength, and Khachanov speculates that Jiangdong must be "contributing" to this.
Apanashchenko shook his head,
"We can only win by quantity now, but increasing production capacity does not happen overnight!"
"Is there still time?" Khachanov seemed to be saying to himself.
"Moscow requires us to always pay attention to Jiangdong and evaluate the combat effectiveness of the 6th Corps!" General Apanashenko moved his eyes away from the map of the Northeast region and looked at the entire alliance, saying:
"The Third Reich is coming fiercely, and it is impossible for us to take the initiative in the war in a short period of time! Now we only hope that the cold wave in the north will arrive one day earlier, giving some time to the great Moscow Defense War!"
Khachanov nodded.
Everyone in the alliance is waiting for Dongxue to slow down the enemy. This is a helper they can invite without paying any price.
"Have you heard? The United States will initiate the formation of a world anti-fascist alliance to unify the resources of anti-fascist countries and regions and jointly fight the enemy!" General Apanashenko said again.
"I heard that, I just hope that this alliance can truly protect and help each other, then the pressure on the alliance will be much less!"
"The Americas have passed a new leasing bill, and they will continue to provide material support to Moscow!"
"Comrade General, this is a good thing. The threat from the Kwantung Army has been lifted. The Far East Red Army can use the material assistance from the Americans to immediately participate in the defense of Moscow!" Khachanov's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Comrade Khachanov, what do you think is the purpose of Moscow asking us to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the 6th Corps?" Apanashenko asked with a half-smile.
Khachanov was stunned for a moment, then blinked his eyelids quickly and said:
"Is the alliance so weak that it needs help from the Chinese military?"
"The war situation is far worse than you and I imagined. Moscow has its own considerations. We just need to obey orders!"
"The situation is so critical, we can no longer continue to watch Chinese performances in the Far East!"
Apanashenko smiled and nodded,
"Indeed, I have received notice that the Far East Red Army will be transferred to Moscow in batches after mid-September!
Comrade Khachanov, the motherland has not forgotten what you have done in the Far East and China over the years! You will go to Moscow with the first batch of the Far East Red Army, and..."
Apanashenko stretched out his right hand,
"Congratulations, Comrade Lieutenant General!"
Khachanov's thick beard trembled involuntarily, and his excitement was palpable.
Chapter completed!
