Late that night, in a reed swing in Liudu Town, Wuwei County, Xu Rui had a long exchange with Stilwell, the future chief of the General Staff of the Chinese Theater, and Chelev, the Soviet minister to China. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Before the exchange began, Stilwell and Cherev both pulled out their notebooks and pens and prepared to take notes.

Xu Rui even noticed that the title page of Stilwell and Cherev's notebook was already densely filled with questions they wanted to ask, and it was obvious that the two had been preparing for today's conversation for a long time, so much so that what kind of questions they should ask Xu Rui had already been prepared.

Stilwell first asked: "Commander Xu, the first question I want to ask is that you have shown extremely superb tactical command ability in the historical battles with the Japanese army, and your Dameishan Youth Training Team is actually teaching the use of tank clusters and the theory of large-depth operations of large corps, but what puzzles me is that the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp in Germany seems to be a pure special forces training institution, and it seems impossible to teach you this?" ”

This question has been bothering Stilwell for a long time, almost from the day he noticed Xu Rui, this question has already surfaced in his mind, where did Xu Rui's tactical command ability come from? Xu Rui's use of troops and firepower on the battlefield, and the construction of positions, are very cutting-edge and very old-fashioned.

For example, in the Battle of Nantong commanded by Xu Rui, Xu Rui concentrated dozens of Type 92 heavy machine guns, and built the heavy machine gun position on the anticline of the mountain, which is a research topic at the West Point Military Academy.

After coming to Dameishan, Stilwell was even more confused.

Because he found that the military academy in Dameishan was actually teaching courses such as infantry and artillery coordination, infantry and tank coordination, and air-ground coordination, and what was even more incredible was the use of tank clusters and the theory of large-depth combat of large corps, which were newly emerging military topics in the Soviet Union and the United States West Point, and they were not openly taught to students at all.

So Stilwell is eager to know, where did Xu Rui learn these cutting-edge military theories?

Xu Rui didn't know how to answer, he knew that he should have told Lao Wang not to let outsiders visit the youth team to attend classes, but Xu Rui didn't expect that Cherev and Stilwell would actually come to listen to the class, and now it's a bad thing, how do you explain it to others? China is not a land power, but it makes no sense that one of China's ravines and ravines is actually teaching the most cutting-edge military theories in the world today.

In the end, there was really no way, Xu Rui could only push it to Germany.

At the moment, Xu Rui said: "Of course, the Brandenburg special forces training camp does not teach these, but in the Berlin Military Academy, these are not cutting-edge topics, such as the principle of centralized use of troops and firepower, which is based on Clausewitz's theory of war, the use and research of tank clusters, and the first recommendation of Moltke, and the first recommendation of the theory of great depth Guderian." ”

Cherev asked again: "So, Commander Xu once studied at the Berlin Military Academy?" ”

Xu Rui responded indifferently: "Could it be that you must have studied at the Berlin Military Academy in order to learn the military theory knowledge taught at the Berlin Military Academy?" After a pause, Xu Rui smiled again and said, "Okay, I'll just say it directly, I'm not a cadet of the Berlin Military Academy, but just an auditor." ”

"Auditors?" Cherev and Stilwell looked at each other.

Xu Rui said: "I have been interested in military affairs since I was a child, but when my grandfather was ready to send me to a German military academy for further study, I encountered trouble, because my grandfather and I did not give up Chinese nationality at that time, so I did not have the qualifications to enter any military academy in Germany, and finally my grandfather spent a lot of money to finally win the opportunity for me to audit, by the way, it was because my German mentor recommended me to enter the Brandenburg special forces training camp. ”

Stilwell said: "To be able to teach such an excellent student as you, presumably your mentor is also a very great military theorist, Commander Xu, can you tell me the name of your mentor?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid not." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "As for the reason, you know. ”

Stilwell and Cherev looked at each other, they knew a fart, but since Xu Rui didn't want to say it, they didn't want to ask too much.

Then Cherev asked a huge question: "Commander Xu, I would like to ask, what do you think of this war between China and Japan?" ”

All Western countries have their own interests in China, but the Soviet Union is the one with the greatest interests!

Therefore, in turn, the Soviet Union also reacted most strongly to Japan's large-scale invasion of China, because Japan's move not only seriously damaged the Soviet Union's interests in China, but also seriously threatened the security of the Far East.

Cherev did not think that Xu Rui would be able to determine the direction of the Nationalist Government's policy toward Japan, but it would certainly be helpful to discuss the future direction of the Sino-Japanese War with an outstanding Chinese general like Xu Rui, who was fighting at the forefront of the war, and at least help the Soviet Union make fewer subjective mistakes when making decisions on China.

For example, if front-line generals like Xu Rui are pessimistic about this war, then the Soviet Union should not hesitate to sacrifice China in exchange for Japan's understanding when formulating its policy toward China and Japan, but if front-line generals like Xu Rui are full of belief in winning this war, the Soviet Union should support China more.

Xu Rui glanced at Chelev deeply and said, "I am full of belief in this war!" ”

Without waiting for Cherev to ask again, Xu Rui continued: "There are three reasons, one is that China has a population of 40,000 and an inexhaustible mass of troops, while Japan, on the other hand, has a population of more than 70 million, and if it continues to be consumed for a long time, it must be Little Japan that will first exhaust its manpower, and it will never be China." ”

"But modern warfare is more about the industrial base than the number of people," Stilwell said. ”

Xu Rui said: "This is the second point I want to say, although Japan's industrial base is very strong, but it does not have any resources, all its resources rely on imports, especially crude oil and rubber, so in the near future, small Japan will definitely send troops to Southeast Asia to seize Southeast Asia's crude oil and rubber." ”

After a pause, Xu Rui smiled again and said to Stilwell: "At that time, war between Japan and Britain will inevitably break out, so what will be the position of the US government?" ”

Without hesitation, Stilwell said, "Of course the U.S. government is with the UK. ”

"So." Xu Rui shrugged his shoulders and continued, "From a geopolitical point of view, little Japan will inevitably break out into war with Britain and the United States. Can it be stronger than you, the United States and the United Kingdom?

Stilwell shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course it can't be. ”

Xu Rui immediately continued: "Third, and most importantly, our Chinese civilization is the only civilization in the world that has continued to this day, and it has not been interrupted in the long history of 5,000 years, and it will continue in the future, so it is purely delusional for little Japan to conquer China and intend to destroy Chinese civilization!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Rui asked Chelev again: "Mr. Chelev, are you still satisfied with my answer?" ”

Cherev shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and he couldn't say whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, but one thing he was sure of was that a front-line commander like Xu Rui seemed to be full of confidence in defeating Japan.

Next, Stilwell asked a more specific question: "Commander Xu, as far as I know, the Japanese government's China policy will soon shift from military offensive to political inducement, that is to say, the major military operations on the frontal battlefield will come to an end, but on the contrary, the war against law and order in the occupied areas will soon be launched in a big way, especially your Dameishan will bear the brunt, I wonder if your Dameishan Military Division is ready?" ”

"General Stilwell, for your question." Xu Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "All I can say is let's wait and see, but I promise you that soon you will get the answer you want." ”

"Thank you." Stilwell tilted his head slightly, and said, "My next question is ......"

(Dividing Line)

The conversation between Xu Rui and the two foreign devils has not ended for a long time, but Sai Hongfu is already looking forward to it.

For tonight's reunion, Sai Hongfu deliberately went to a secluded place by the river to take a bath, sprinkled perfume on his body, and smeared some rouge on his face, which looked particularly bright in the flickering candlelight.

Xiao Taohong couldn't help but say, "Sister, you are so good-looking tonight." ”

Saihong glanced at Xiao Taohong, and said angrily: "Sister Co-author, she looks good tonight, didn't she look good before?" ”

"Sister, no, I didn't mean that." Xiao Taohong shook her head again and again and said, "I used to look good, but tonight my sister is very good-looking, and my uncle will definitely die of joy when she sees it." ”

"Not really." Sai Hongfu quipped, "It is said that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and he definitely likes you more now." ”

"No, no, my uncle likes my sister." Xiao Taohong hurriedly said, "Even the one who dreams at night is my sister." ”

"How do you know he's dreaming about me?" Sai Hongfu keenly noticed the problem, and asked with wide eyes, "Little Taohong, are you okay with him?" ”

"No, no." Xiao Taohong hurriedly shook her head and said, "Uncle didn't want me." ”

"Didn't want you?" Sai Hongfu said dissatisfiedly, "Then sister is going to talk about you, sister asked you to take care of him, you don't know what this means, right?" This man is a wild cat who loves to steal fish, and if he doesn't touch a woman for a long time, he will definitely hunt wild food, and the old lady doesn't want to have a bunch of wild women in the house in the future, do you know that little peach? ”

Xiao Taohong said in a low voice: "Sister, the little maid knows." ”

"You know you're still hanging him, and you're not good with him?"

"But, but my uncle just won't touch me." (To be continued.) )
