In this world, it's not just Guo Zhuocheng who is smart. When Guo Zhuocheng encouraged his superiors to implement economic policies in Longjiang Province and Inner Mongolia Province that were far more flexible than those of other provinces, and the state increased the import and export of materials from these border provinces, the ostensible purpose of which was of course to develop the economy of those places and make the common people there rich as soon as possible, but the ultimate purpose was to form a contrast with the Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia in order to show China's superiority, to attract the return of Soviet people who were Outer Mongolia or those who were originally Chinese citizens, and to cultivate their internal mentality. In this way, it will affect the people in power or influential people to start the process of returning to the motherland.

Although it is not known how effective this behavior is, at least it can clear some obstacles on a certain course and reduce the resistance in the hearts of ordinary people.

China's leaders know Mr. Guo's intentions, as do U.S. officials. Even officials from Mongolia and the Soviet Union knew about it. Both the Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia have further strengthened border management, and they are not allowed to go to China, still less allow the common people who have come to China and come back to China to publicize the prosperity of China, just as the Chinese side did not allow the common people to publicize the prosperity of the Soviet Union.

The United States knows this, and naturally knows that Mongolia will be an obstacle between China and the Soviet Union, which will eliminate the possibility of thorough exchanges between the Soviet Union and China. Both want to become world powers, both want to have foreign Mongolia, and both want to exert greater influence in Asia, and the contradictions between them are difficult to reconcile; if there is a common enemy of the United States, perhaps they will cooperate on a certain course as before, and once China and the United States are on good terms, it will be impossible for the Soviet Union to form an alliance with China again.

Since it is impossible for China and the Soviet Union to be completely reconciled, the risk of the United States helping China is much smaller, and there is no need to worry about China being a big country harming the interests of the United States to curry favor with the Soviet Union like a weak country. Or even completely fell to the USSR.

After thinking about this, and feeling the aggressiveness of the Soviet Union, the United States accelerated the pace of cooperation with China. began to enter the honeymoon period of the two countries faster than in the previous life.

Seeing this simple telegram, Guo Zhuocheng was very relieved, feeling that his efforts were not in vain, and the risk taken to sink the Kawasaki was completely worth it. Even if he didn't get these benefits, even if he couldn't lead China and the United States to get closer faster, Guo Zhuocheng would actually do so, as long as he could hit Japan's ambition and confidence, he would do it.

He now does not know that the murderer of the Japanese will be the Soviet Union. I just think that it is good to use deep-water bomb-bomb to eliminate traces of the 0021 submarine, and I should thank these Japanese people who think for others.

After several days of intense and excited sailing, Jiang Haitao confirmed that the submarine had passed through the trench and that no other submarine or warship had spotted them, so he ordered the submarine to sit on the bottom of a sandy and gravel seabed at a depth of 100 meters, which was very suitable for the submarine to sit on the bottom.

Then an informal celebration was held over the public address system in the submarine. Regarding the convening of this meeting, Guo Zhuocheng, Jiang Haitao, and Ma Yanshu made the decision after conducting a careful study together. The purpose of this celebration was to maintain the morale of all officers and men, and also to remind all officers and men that they can only be unsung heroes, and that their military exploits cannot be made public.

Due to the special environment, there will be no wine, no fish and meat, only a glass of cold water. However, the mood of the officers and men was excited, their hearts were hot, and many officers and men shed tears of excitement. It was not until before the meeting was convened that all the officers and men themselves had sunk the submarine a few days ago by Japanese.

The officers and men did the most hugging and beating each other. It doesn't matter what the relationship is like in normal times. It doesn't matter how high or low your official position is, as long as you see someone around, slap or punch him first.

The submarine was filled with the laughter of sailors and sailors. Except for the sonar soldiers on duty, the rest of the people were celebrating this first battle.

"Brothers, are you happy?" Jiang Haitao asked loudly into the microphone.

"Happy!" From the loudspeaker, the officers and men of various units shouted in unison.

There is little space for submarines. The sound insulation was also excellent, and the roar of six or seven horns made the eardrums of the commanders in the command tower a little sore.

"Are you excited?" Jiang Haitao asked loudly again that there was no "level".

"Excited!" The sound is loud though. But there was a little bit of a grin in the tone of the officers and soldiers, and they all looked at Jiang Haitao with a smile after answering.

"A few days ago, we sank a submarine produced in cooperation with the Soviet Union in a golden place." Jiang Haitao continued to ask loudly, "Do you think the motherland should get the military merit medal given to us by the motherland?" ”

The officers and soldiers responded in unison: "Yes! ”

When they heard that the submarine was sunk by Japan and the Soviet Union, although the officers and men were surprised that Japan could cooperate with the Soviet Union, the doubts did not diminish the excitement and excitement of the officers and men, and their faces were filled with happiness, as if they would soon be able to take the stage to receive the military merit medal presented by the chief.

The staff officers of the command tower all looked eagerly at Jiang Haitao and at Guo Zhuocheng. They knew that this operation was completely ordered by Guo Zhuocheng against public opinion, and when the order was given that day, not only Jiang Haitao and Ma Yanshu did not understand, but also their staff officers did not understand, and at that time they even thought that Guo Zhuocheng did not understand submarine command and the practice of operating submarines on the bottom of the sea, and that he was doing things according to his will. If it weren't for Jiang Haitao's resolute support for him in the end, if it weren't for the fact that their superiors asked them to obey Guo Zhuocheng's arrangement on important matters before departure, they really wanted to debate with Guo Zhuocheng.

Unexpectedly, since Guo Zhuocheng's order brought such a meritorious achievement, it actually attracted the attention of his superiors. Although the staff officers did not have the right to see the contents of the telegram from their superiors because of their rank, they knew that it was the highest military superior who sent the telegram, far from the submarine base, nor the South China Sea Fleet, or even the naval headquarters, but the highest center of the Chinese side!

Many officers and men who had boarded this submarine for the first time were very glad that they had encountered this good opportunity and that they had followed the right leader; if Guo Zhuocheng had not been here, even if he encountered the Japanese, the submarine commander would not have hastily ordered it to be sunk.

Just when the officers and soldiers were eagerly waiting for how their superiors would reward them, Jiang Haitao poured a basin of cold water on them, only to hear him say loudly: "But I tell my brothers that we don't have the military merit medal we want!" ”

There was an exclamation from almost all the loudspeakers: "Ahhh

Someone also blurted out, "Why?" We sank Soviet submarines, and we hit the Japanese, so why didn't we give us military merit medals? ”

Even the staff officers in the command tower are also you look at me and I look at you, and finally looked at Guo Shucheng and Jiang Haitao, waiting for their answers.

Jiang Haitao coughed, and waited for the voices in the speakers to be much quieter before he said, "Why?" When you asked me why, did you ever wonder what the superior told us when we signed up for this fleet? ......, I tell you that our submarine is an Assassin, an Assassin who can only hide in the shadows and deal a fatal blow to the enemy. We are submariners, we can only be unknown soldiers, we can only be lone heroes. What was the purpose of our enlistment for this fleet at that time? ”

"Hit the enemy!" A military man replied.

"Defend the Motherland!" Another military man replied.

Jiang Haitao said loudly: "What you said is right! None of you want to show off your military medals when you join the army, and the purpose of joining this fleet, like me, is to fulfill our dream of fighting our enemies. As long as our dream is realized, we don't care about anything else. Right? ”

Everyone shouted in unison, "Yes! ”

Jiang Haitao said: "Yes, our purpose is not to show off, not to ask the country for compensation, but to defend the motherland, protect the people, and protect our vast maritime frontier. It's not that the superiors don't want to give us military merit medals, it's not that they don't want to give us meritorious service, it's not that they don't want to hold a lively celebration party, it's because we don't want to do this, it's because we have to keep a low profile now. We have not declared war on Japan now, nor on the USSR, we have only sneaked up on these hateful enemies. In order for us to better attack the enemy in the future, in order to better protect ourselves, we must remain silent, just as we have taken a very difficult and dangerous path to return here, with only one purpose, that is, not to let anyone know that we did it. Do you say that it is better for us to let Japan and the Soviet Union target us for the sake of military merit, or should we keep a low profile and let Japan and the Soviet Union be suspicious of each other and complain about each other? ”

All the officers and soldiers laughed in unison, some answered loudly, others shouted a few more sneak attacks.

At this time, Jiang Haitao said with a smile: "We hope that the more suspicions between them, the better, and it is best that they can fight." Then, he added, "Now our motherland is about to seize this strategic opportunity to boost our economy, improve the people's living standards, and let our motherland live on an equal footing with other powerful countries, so we can only be unsung heroes for the time being." We ourselves have to set a strict standard for ourselves: that is, we only have the obligation to strike at the enemy, and we do not have the right to receive military merit medals. Brothers, are you still willing in your hearts? ”

"Yes!" Many people replied loudly.

"Willing to ......" There are also some people who are a little depressed, but they are not disgusted.

"It seems that the brothers are not very interested in us sinking the latest Japanese submarine, and their eyes are only fixed on the round military medal. Is it? Jiang Haitao asked loudly with a smile.

The warriors seemed to be insulted, and they scrambled to shout: "No! ”

Then they went on to say:

"We'd rather not have any military medals, as long as we can sink American warships!"

"As long as we let us fight the Japanese devil again, we are willing to die!"
