Therefore, in his heart, Chairman Chiang hoped that the Soviet Union would fight with Japan to lose both. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From this point of view, Chairman Chiang hoped that the Japanese army would be able to fight a big battle with the Soviet army at Kanmenkankan, and it would be better to fight to the end, and Japan and the Soviet Union would declare war on each other, and then the Japanese army would turn its main energy to the Soviet Union, then China's pressure would be greatly reduced, and the situation of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression would undergo earth-shaking changes.

So Chairman Jiang asked Bai Chongxi: "Jiansheng, do you think the Kanmenkan incident will escalate?" ”

Bai Chongxi is known as Xiao Zhuge Liang, and he is also recognized as the half of the three and a half military experts, the reason why Bai Chongxi can only be regarded as half a military strategist is because he lacks some fire in strategic vision compared to the other three, and the other three people, whether they are Jiang Baili, Yang Jie or Liu Bocheng, all have extraordinary strategic vision.

At this time, Jiang Baili had died of illness, Yang Jie was sent to the Soviet Union because he was squeezed out by He Yingqin, and Liu Bocheng was a member of the Communist Party, so only Bai Chongxi was by Chairman Jiang's side, and Chairman Jiang still attached great importance to Bai Chongxi, and whenever he encountered a major event, he would inevitably ask Bai Chongxi's opinion.

"I don't think so." Bai Chongxi's firm way.

Chairman Jiang didn't expect Bai Chongxi to answer so simply, so he was inevitably a little disappointed and a little unwilling in his heart, and frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

Bai Chongxi said loudly: "Because if the Nomenkan incident wants to escalate, two conditions must be met: first, the Japanese army must win the Nomenkan conflict; Second, the Japanese government must be determined to start an all-out war with the Soviet Union! At present, Japan does not have any of these two conditions. ”

He Yingqin was unconvinced: "Jiansheng thinks that the Japanese army can't win the Battle of Nomenkan? ”

"It's a result without a doubt!" Bai Chongxi said firmly, "Although the Kwantung Army has formed two tank divisions, their thinking is still stuck in the main force of the large infantry, and the use of tank troops is definitely not as skilled and efficient as the Soviet Army, and whether it is the air force or the air force, the Japanese army does not occupy any advantage, and defeat is inevitable." ”

He Yingqin was silent, because Bai Chongxi's judgment was completely consistent with him.

Bai Chongxi said again: "Once the Kwantung Army fails to take the risk at Nomenkan, it will definitely retract quickly, so the Nomenkan incident will definitely not escalate." ”

Chen Cheng figured out Chairman Chiang's intentions and immediately questioned: "If the Kwantung Army is defeated, will the Soviet Army take advantage of the victory to pursue and enter North Manchuria?" After all, North Manchuria used to be the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, and after 918, the Japanese army forcibly occupied North Manchuria, but the Soviets had suffered losses, and they would definitely want to take the opportunity to retaliate back, right? ”

"Definitely not." Bai Chongxi said again firmly, "The industrial base of the Soviets is indeed strong, but the heavy industrial base of the Soviet Union is all in Europe, and although there are some industries in the Far East, they cannot support a full-scale war against Japan at all, so once a full-scale war breaks out between Japan and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union can only rely on the Siberian Railway to transport military supplies, which is very dangerous." ”

After a pause, Bai Chongxi said again: "The reason why Russia lost the Russo-Japanese War back then was also because it was restricted by the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway. ”

It must be admitted that Bai Chongxi's analysis is still reasonable, but this time he was wrong.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, hurriedly walked in and said, "Bench, something big has happened!" ”

Chairman Jiang suddenly felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, and said that there was a problem on the front line of Suizao, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Shihe replied: "The Supreme Leader of the CPSU, Stalin, has just made a radio speech and officially declared war on Japan!" In addition, the Soviet news agency TASS also published an urgent communication with the news on the air. ”

"What?!"

"The USSR declared war on Japan?!"

"What's going on here?!"

Chairman Chiang and several of his staff members suddenly screamed in surprise when they heard this.

Bai Chongxi was even more completely stupid, this slap was too fast and too loud, right? He had just said that it was impossible for the Nomenkan incident to escalate, and even asserted that it was impossible for the Soviet Union and Japan to start a full-scale war, but as soon as the words were still in his ears, Stalin made a radio speech, announcing the start of war against Japan, and even TASS broadcast an emergency communication.

"Niang Xipi!" After Chairman Chiang was stunned, he immediately became excited.

"Mother, Xipi! Niang Xipi! Niang Xipi! Chairman Jiang scolded the three Niang Xipi in a row, then turned his head and said to He Yingqin with a red face, "Respectfully, you immediately let the Central Radio Station and the Central News Agency get ready, and I will make a radio speech this afternoon to officially announce an all-out war against Japan!" ”

He Yingqin whispered: "Hold the seat, is it slow?" ”

Chen Cheng also whispered: "Yes, commission, even if the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, it may not necessarily be a full-scale decisive battle, after all, there was a precedent of the Russo-Japanese War." ”

Chairman Jiang frowned when he heard this.

During the Russo-Japanese War, Japan and Russia also declared war on each other, but in the end it did not turn into a full-scale decisive battle.

After a pause, Chen Cheng said again: "Even if you really decide to declare war on Japan, you must at least find out the reason why the Soviet Union suddenly declared war on Japan, so as not to cause accidents." ”

After being persuaded by the two major staffs, Chairman Chiang immediately calmed down.

After hesitating for a moment, Chairman Chiang turned his head and instructed Wang Shihe: "Shihe, call Dai Li immediately and ask him to find out the reason for the Soviet Union's declaration of war on Japan......"

However, before Chairman Chiang's words fell, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

Just listening to the footsteps, Chairman Jiang could tell that this was Dai Li's footsteps.

At that moment, Chairman Jiang said: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, Dai Yunong came just in time!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Dai Li's figure appeared outside the door, and then hurriedly walked in, first bowing slightly to Chairman Jiang, and then straightening up.

Before Dai Li could speak, Chairman Jiang hurriedly said: "Yunong, do you know that the Soviet Union has declared war on Japan?" ”

"If you go back to the commission, I just heard about it on the way here." Dai Li's expression was extremely respectful and said, "And I also received a secret telegram from Mukden, and I know why the Soviet Union declared war on Japan!" ”

The military commander also has a liaison station in Mukden, and the energy of the Mukden station is quite large.

Dai Li did receive a secret telegram from the military commander Fengtian Station, just on the way just now.

"Oh, really?" Chairman Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this, "What did you say in the secret telegram? ”

Dai Li said respectfully: "The secret telegram said that the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army was defeated in the battle of Nomenkan, and a Soviet army group army plus a Mongolian cavalry army was almost completely annihilated. ”

"Straight to Chita?" Chen Cheng shouted, "The Japanese army is preparing to cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway?" ”

He Yingqin said: "If Chita is lost, if the Trans-Siberian Railway is cut off by the Japanese army, the Soviet Far Eastern Front will become a lone army in the blink of an eye, and with a little industry in Boli, Vladivostok and Amur Komsomolsk, it will not be able to support the entire Far Eastern Front in any way, so if Chita is lost, the Soviet Union will inevitably be defeated!" ”

Chen Cheng even asserted: "If nothing else, the drama of the Russo-Japanese War will be repeated again!" ”

He Yingqin said: "Little Japan is really a good man, and it actually defeated Russia twice!" ”

Chen Cheng said again: "If we win this time, I'm afraid that the entire Far East will be Japanese." ”

The two bureaucrats sang and harmonized there, as if little Japan had won the Second Russo-Japanese War.

Chairman Jiang was inevitably a little irritated when he heard this, frowned and said, "Isn't Chita still lost?" ”

"It's a matter of time." Chen Cheng and He Yingqin said in unison, "Therefore, it is especially prudent to declare war on Japan. ”

It was only at this time that Bai Chongxi finally recovered from the huge shock and said: "It is indeed surprising that the Kwantung Army actually won the Battle of Nomenkan, but it is a bit alarmist to say that the Kwantung Army was able to occupy Chita City, cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway, and then completely annihilate the Soviet Far Eastern Front. ”

"Alarmist? Not at all! He Yingqin shook his head and said, "From the results of this battle of Nomenkan, it can be seen that the preparations made by the Japanese army before the war were far better than those of the Soviet army, and coupled with the cutting off of the Trans-Siberian Railway, the final victory of the Japanese army is completely predictable." ”

Bai Chongxi said: "I always believe that the backward infantryism of small Japan will become their biggest burden, as long as the Soviet army does not mess up, as long as the Soviet army can withstand the three-plate axe of the Kwantung Army, the Kwantung Army may have no chance, even if the Trans-Siberian Railway is cut off, it does not matter, because in recent years, the Far Eastern Front has stored a large amount of materials in Amur, Boli and Vladivostok, and it will definitely not be a problem to support it for three or five years." ”

However, as soon as Bai Chongxi's words fell, Dai Li said: "Gong Jian, I'm afraid that the Soviet army's position is already in chaos!" ”

"The Soviet army is already in disarray?" Bai Chongxi changed slightly when he heard this, "What did Boss Dai say?" ”

Dai Li's gaze swept over the faces of several staff members present, and finally fell on the faces of Chairman Jiang, and said: "Commission, I have another piece of news, saying that the Kwantung Army dispatched a special force to parachute into Boli and attacked the headquarters of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, and the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, Blyukher, and the political commissar Cherev have disappeared. ”

"What?!"

"Special forces?!"

"Surprise Attack?!"

"Blyukhl and Cherev are missing?!"

Chairman Chiang and the three major staff members looked at each other, and this news was too shocking, if this was the case, then the Soviet Far Eastern Front would definitely lose, and the situation in the entire Far East would also undergo earth-shaking changes! If little Japan really annexed the entire Far East, it would be able to cut off the Northwest Highway to the west.

If that's the case, then it's going to be a big problem.
