Chapter 44: Into the Urn
Female marshal, these three words have been surrounding Jin Yingji's heart, until she was sent on the train by the people sent by Zhuo Fei, Jin Yingji's heart still could not be completely calmed down, the three words Zhuo Fei said were too tempting. Kim Young-hee's family reputation is not obvious, but Kim Young-hee's grandfather is a master of Sinology, and the children in the family have also received Sinology education since childhood, otherwise Kim Young-hee would not be able to speak fluent Chinese.
The elders of the family were quite far-sighted, and at the beginning of the Japanese army's encroachment on Korea, they secretly sent their children to China in batches, and Kim Young-hee was one of them, as her grandfather's favorite granddaughter, Kim Young-hee's body was also imbued with her grandfather's hope of restoring the former glory of the Kim family. Zhuo Fei's words were too tempting for Jin Yingji, especially after Jin Yingji knew Zhuo Fei's true identity, if she could get Zhuo Fei's help, the day when Jin would return to glory would not be too far away.
"This woman is ambitious, and I saw it from the first time I saw her. You haven't paid attention to her daily behavior, and from some small aspects, it can be seen that this woman must be well-educated, such a woman will definitely not be taught by the Korean Patriotic League, and there should be a big family behind her. Faced with the confusion of his subordinates, Zhuo Fei said the reason very indifferently.
"You don't know the Koreans, although Korea has always been a vassal state of China, but while the North Koreans recognize China as a superior country, they always seek to get rid of China's influence on Korea. But since Korea was controlled by the Japanese and became a colony, the Koreans began to miss the history of being taken care of by China, and there are Korean families who are willing to cooperate with the Japanese, and naturally there will be families who dream of driving away the Japanese and restoring the country, and I guess Kim Young-hee's family should be the kind of family that wants to restore the country. ”
"Mr. Zhuo, even if there is a big family behind that golden girl, what does the affairs of the North Koreans have to do with us?" Someone finally asked a question, looking at the expressions of other people, this question that was asked was obviously what several other people were thinking, after all, North Korea is too far away from here.
Zhuo Fei didn't answer immediately, but laughed twice, and after lighting the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, Zhuo Fei smiled, "You guys are too short-sighted, just look at the one acre and three points of land in front of you." Zhuo Fei then reached out and dipped his tea in the table to draw a map. This is North China, this is the Northeast, and all the way north across the Yalu River is North Korea. Nowadays, there are trucks, railways, airplanes, and ships, and it is not difficult to get from North China to North Korea at all. ”
"Korea is a Japanese colony, and the Japanese need food and mineral resources in Korea, and our original intention in forming guerrilla troops is to disrupt the Japanese army's logistical supply lines, destroy the military facilities they have built, and kill and injure their living forces in the rear. So why can't we support a group of North Koreans to do the same thing in North Korea? Let's not forget that Korea borders the northeast, and once a large-scale guerrilla war breaks out in Korea, the Kwantung Army troops stationed in the northeast may be transferred north to Korea to participate in the purging and suppression. ”
"Japan is an island country, resources have always been scarce, if it were not for the secret support of Britain and the United States, the Japanese army would never have the scale it is now, you must remember your mission, your guerrilla forces were formed to consume the living force of the Japanese army. Since the reserve strength of the Japanese army is limited, then why should we let go of the opportunity to help the Koreans kill and injure the Japanese, we are just riding some unwanted Japanese-style weapons, anyway, it will not be us Chinese who will die at that time, not to mention that when they come to receive training, they will also help us fight in North China free of charge. ”
Zhuo Fei's explanation is actually not detailed, but his slightly general explanation has been understood by several people present, and no one will object to it if there are more cannon fodder helpers under his hands who don't care about casualties. "Mr. Zhuo, we kind of understand what you mean, but I don't know if the North Koreans will come then?"
"Don't worry, they will definitely come, in China, but there are tens of thousands of North Koreans, it shouldn't be difficult to come to a thousand or eight hundred." Zhuo Fei was very confident about this, and the look in Jin Yingji's eyes when she left had already answered this question very well. "Their Korean Patriotic Corps is not a military organization at all, but if there is a place that can help them train their soldiers, the top brass of the Korean Patriotic Corps will be willing to send personnel over for training."
The Koreans had been trying to drive the Japanese out for a long time, but unfortunately they did not have a well-organized military organization, and after the local forces were gradually disintegrated by the Japanese army, the remnants of the rebels had to go into exile in China or abroad. Kim Koo, who was in exile in China, was one of them, and because he could not see the hope of recovering the country and was not treated well by the Nationalist Government, Kim Koo formed the Korean Patriotic League in order to prove the determination of the Koreans to resist the Japanese rule, but there were not many systematically trained military talents in this organization.
Zhuo Fei's chance encounter in Tianjin made Jin Yingji really come into contact with the so-called guerrilla warfare, and after following Zhuo Fei to wander around Hebei, Jin Yingji witnessed the various actions of the guerrillas in the enemy-occupied areas. Within a week, Zhuo Fei led more than 1,000 guerrillas to fight hundreds of miles, killing thousands of Japanese puppet soldiers while destroying more than a dozen Japanese military installations. In the past, Kim Young-hee did not care about the so-called guerrilla warfare at all, but after she saw the results of guerrilla warfare with her own eyes, this mode of fighting behind enemy lines has been deeply engraved in Kim Young-hee's heart.
The first thing Kim Ying-hee did when she returned to Tianjin was to use a secret contact point of the family in Tianjin, and after contacting her grandfather, who had moved to Chongqing, by radio, Kim Ying-hee gave a detailed report on what she had experienced in the past few days to her grandfather who was far away in Chongqing. Kim Zhongnan is over seventy years old, but when she saw the three words "female marshal" specifically mentioned by Kim Young-hee in the telegram, Kim Zhongnan finally couldn't help laughing.
After carefully reading the telegram sent by his granddaughter from Tianjin, Jin Zhongnan took a car to Jin Jiu's office in Chongqing after some contemplation. The Jin family has always been a supporter of Jin Jiu, and Jin Zhongnan can be regarded as one of the few friends of Jin Jiu, and Jin Jiu will not be surprised by the arrival of his friend. "This is a telegram that Yingji just sent from Tianjin, I heard that this Mr. Zhuo can be regarded as a celebrity of the national government, I wonder if Mr. Jin Jiu knows this person?" When the two met, Jin Zhongnan did not shy away from anything, and directly handed the telegram sent by Jin Yingji to Jin Jiu.
After reading Jin Yingji's telegram, Jin Jiu smiled and said, "I have heard of this Mr. Zhuo, but I haven't had a chance to meet me yet." As far as I know, this Mr. Zhuo is not very old, but in the heart of the person in the South Shore Villa, he has first-class trust. Earlier, it was rumored that this cooperation between the Nationalist Government and the CCP was facilitated by this Mr. Zhuo, and this Mr. Zhuo also has an army with superior combat power under his hands. ”
Jin Jiu's words made Jin Zhongnan's eyes light up, and he immediately asked, "Mr. Jin Jiu, Ying Ji was fortunate to follow this Mr. Zhuo in Hebei for several days this time, and saw this Mr. Zhuo training a guerrilla force to fight the Japanese on the ground. Young-hee did not say very clearly in the telegram, but she admired Mr. Cho's ability to train the army, saying that Mr. Cho had suggested to her that the Korean Patriotic League should also form a guerrilla force, and that only by controlling the real military force could the Korean Patriotic League really have the ability to restore the country. ”
"That's what he said?" Jin Jiu stood up straight, pacing back and forth in front of Jin Zhongnan with his hands behind his back, the word "Fuguo" had already been deeply imprinted in Jin Jiu's bones, but the strength of the Korean Patriotic League was too weak, and Jin Jiu had been distressed at this time, and suddenly heard Jin Zhongnan say what he said just now, Jin Jiu could no longer control his mood.
"Mr. Jin Jiu, no matter what, what this Mr. Zhuo has shown can be regarded as goodwill. Yingji also said that she had made a request, and the other party promised to help us train guerrilla soldiers, and agreed to support us with a batch of weapons and ammunition captured from the Japanese army. Jin Zhongnan looked at Jin Jiu with a blank eye, forming the North Koreans' own military organization, without Jin Jiu's consent, even if their Jin family has enough manpower and funds, but it is not justified in the general righteousness.
Jin Jiu naturally knew what it meant to have an army that belonged to the North Koreans, and Kim Zhongnan had already spoken so thoroughly, how could Jin Jiu not know what Jin Zhongnan was fighting. But the situation in front of him made Jin Jiu have to compromise with Jin Zhongnan at present, the two discussed in the room for a long time, and after about 2 hours, the two finally reached an agreement. In the name of the South Korean government-in-exile, Kim Koo recruited North Korean youths in China to go to Hebei for training, and Kim Young-hee, as the special envoy for communication between the South Korean government-in-exile and Zhuo Fei, would become the first commander of this South Korean guerrilla force.
Jin Yingji, who received the news, cheered and sent the result to Zhuo Fei who was rushing to Xushui with apprehension. "How? I'll just say that these Korean sticks are not worry-free guys. If you throw them a bone, they'll crawl over the pole. Zhuo Fei, who received the telegram, laughed again and again, but everyone heard some other meanings from Zhuo Fei's words.
"You all remember, when these Goryeo sticks come for training, don't teach them your ability to press the bottom of the box, it is enough to teach them some skills in fighting and marching, and then teach them some skills of homemade explosives and bombs, I very much want to see what it will be like for these Goryeo sticks to beat the Japanese army with bombs after returning to Korea."
