Chapter 330: Is This True?
With Zhao Tiehu returning to Nanyang, the war of the Xinghua Army in Southeast Asia seems to have come to an end. However, only the officers and men within the Xinghua Army knew that Southeast Asia would not be able to stabilize for a long time to come.
The expeditionary force flowing down the Mekong River began to dispatch combat units deployed in Yunnan Province to the border areas between Burma and Thailand, cutting off the communication between the Japanese army in northern Burma and the Thai army, and further reducing the strategic space of the Japanese army in northern Burma.
At the same time, the two divisions of the Zhong Yan Army and the Gui Army were really attacking the Japanese army in Annam. In this process, although the Xinghua Army, which confronted the Japanese army, did not move, the wolf warrior team cooperated accordingly.
In this case, it is only a matter of time before the Zhong Yan Army and the Gui Army open up a land communication channel with the Xinghua Army. At least for the Japanese army, their war in French Indochina will also take a sharp turn, from offensive to full-scale defense.
In this regard, the Allied forces are also actively liaising with the rebels in Thailand to further expand the chaos in Thailand. Once the Thai government was drawn to the side of the Allies, it would undoubtedly be another heavy blow to the Japanese army.
As for the Kingdom of Cambodia, which contacted the Xinghua Army earlier and hoped that the Xinghua Army would send troops, Zhao Tiehu did not want to take the initiative to post it. According to his request, if the king of Cambodia really wanted to turn against the Japanese army, he had to come out of the palace first.
In the name of the king, he called on the people to revolt, otherwise the Xinghua army would not intervene in such a matter. But now it seems that the king who sent the envoy doesn't want to expose it and doesn't want to turn his face with the little devil.
In the face of this kind of king who just wants to sit back and enjoy his success, Zhao Tiehu is not stupid, how can he start an all-out war with the Japanese army for a little money? In the past, he might have done this kind of thing, but now he definitely has to think about it.
After all, as the commander-in-chief of the Xinghua Army, Zhao Tiehu must fully consider the interests of the Xinghua Army when considering things. A stable South China Sea is in the interests of the Xinghua Army. As for Cambodia Village, it's nothing if you can't control it.
At least for the time being, the garrison formed by the Fourth Theater has also recruited many Khmer fighters. The Khmer ethnic group is also the most populous ethnic group in the Kingdom of Cambodia. With these troops present, Zhao Tiehu is not worried about the Cambodian Kingdom getting out of control.
On the way back to Nanyang, Zhao Tiehu received an urgent telegram from the overseas corps, and the Italian prime minister, who was allied with the German army, was imprisoned by order of the king. It also meant that one of the hardcore allies of the Axis powers was eliminated.
Zhao Tiehu, who received this telegram, quickly said: "Call back, pay close attention to the progress of the situation in Italy, and send a mercenary group into the territory of Italy." At the same time, pay attention to how the Germans will react to this matter.
If nothing else, the Germans will definitely send special forces to rescue the imprisoned chancellor. If the Germans carry out a rescue, our department can pay close attention. At the right time, you can undertake the task of capturing mercenaries, and I believe that someone is willing to pay a lot of money! ”
As Zhao Tiehu's instructions were issued, Zhao Tiehu said again: "Send a telegram to Yan'an and Chongqing to inform you of this matter." In addition, I drafted a secret telegram and sent it to Chongqing and Yan'an later. ”
Thinking that Lao Jiang would be invited to participate in the Cairo meeting next, Zhao Tiehu felt the need to remind him. After the defeat of the Japanese army in the previous life, the Ryukyu Islands had a chance to recover, but the Nationalist Government abandoned them.
In this life, Zhao Tiehu felt that in addition to the treasure island, the Ryukyu Islands bordering Japan must also be placed under the control of China. In addition, as one of the important allies of the Allied Forces, China must participate in the sharing of the benefits of the war.
Even according to Zhao Tiehu's meaning, Huaxia can put forward its own demands in Outer Mongolia and the Far East, which are currently supported by the Soviet Union. At least for the time being, Zhao Tiehu felt that Stalin had to pay attention to Huaxia's opinion.
After many telegrams were sent, Dai Li, who received the telegrams, looked at the contents of the translated telegrams and said with a solemn expression: "Burn the original telegram, don't keep it in the file, I'll go to see the principal immediately." ”
At the same time, Director Zhou, who received this secret message in Yan'an, also said seriously: "The original is sealed, for example, it is the top secret!" ”
Almost at the same time, Chongqing and Yan'an held corresponding high-level meetings. A new round of discussion was launched on what Zhao Tiehu had informed. It's just that there are still a lot of controversies in Yan'an.
The reason is simple, in the telegram sent by Zhao Tiehu, the party that made the appeal was the Soviet Union. At present, the cooperation between the Eighth Route Army and the Soviet Union is still somewhat more than that of the US military.
In the face of the controversy and dissent at the top of the list, the committee member said with a firm word: "When it comes to sovereignty and territory, we must fight for every inch of land." What's more, earlier Mr. Lenin also said that the territories occupied by Tsarist Russia should be returned.
If we can recover these lost territories, it will be an honor for all the people and will be remembered by history. In order to win this war of resistance against Japan and the anti-fascist war, have we not paid enough price?
The most important thing is that you have all read the telegram sent by the Anti-Union before, right? What did our comrades, our comrades do with the Anti-Japanese Union? If they had really helped, the Anti-Japanese Federation would not have been defeated to such a point.
In my name, I sent a telegram to the Chongqing side, hoping that Lao Jiang would treat this matter carefully. If necessary, we could send a special envoy to participate in the mission. I think Lao Jiang should have thought about it. ”
Soon there was humanity: "Shall we send a representative?" Will Lao Jiang agree? ”
"Will it be, let's contact first! We are also qualified to participate in matters of national interest! What's more, if he really goes abroad, Lao Jiang's eyes are also dark, and he also needs Nanyang to provide intelligence support.
According to the information we have so far, You Long has formed a mercenary group overseas, and its intelligence gathering capacity has surpassed that of intelligence organizations in many countries. This trip can really be done, Lao Jiang will definitely need help! ”
With Zhao Tiehu's telegram, Chongqing and Yan'an also began close contact. Even if this matter has not yet been done, Lao Jiang finally agreed to let Yan'an send representatives to participate in the next multinational secret meeting.
In fact, the United States has always hoped to meet with Chiang Lao and strengthen their liaison with the Nationalist Government. Therefore, after receiving the telegram from Zhao Tiehu, Lao Jiang also realized that this was also an opportunity for Huaxia.
What shocked Lao Jiang the most was that Zhao Tiehu said that if Lao Jiang agreed to go overseas to participate in the meeting, Xinghua Army would provide corresponding help. And even to a large extent, the support of the US military is not needed at all.
After Chongqing and Yan'an reached an agreement, Lao Chiang also replied to Roosevelt, saying that he could participate in the multinational summit held in Cairo, Egypt. Shortly after the telegram was sent, Roosevelt welcomed it.
After all, in the current Pacific theater, China is playing an increasingly important role. In contrast, the current counteroffensive of the US military is more focused on the European side. Therefore, Roosevelt also hoped that Huaxia would contain more Japanese troops.
Just when several countries reached an agreement on the meeting, Director Zhou, who was the deputy envoy for negotiations, was also invited to the cave by the committee members and told him about some things that the committee members did not want to make public. After hearing these things, Director Zhou was also shocked.
"Commissioner, is this true?" ”
"As much as I don't want to admit it's true, I don't think the kid is telling a lie. And I think he has a quote that makes a lot of sense. Between countries, interests always come first, and we must think more about the country.
This meeting was also an opportunity to test the Soviet side. It's only now that I really understand this kid, let's turn our focus to the use of the Northeast. If we can win the Northeast completely, it will be very important for us in the future.
Compared with Lao Jiang, that kid is undoubtedly more friendly to our party and our army. After the previous meeting, you should have seen that he was obviously more helpful to us than the Chongqing side. And this time when he goes abroad, he will definitely give more help.
If it weren't suitable, I would have actually wanted to go abroad. Lao Jiang is very politically courageous, but he also needs to be supervised by someone around him. This multinational summit is likely to involve future benefit-sharing.
On the European side, we can't reach out, but on the Asian side, our interests must be taken back. In particular, when it comes to sovereignty issues such as the peninsula and the Ryukyus, we must argue with reason. As for Outer Mongolia and the Far East, it is not impossible to test it first. ”
"Okay, Commissioner, I got it!"
Regarding the secret conversation on this night, except for the committee members and Director Zhou, many people did not know. What is even more unexpected for many people is that Lao Jiang, who is about to leave for a foreign country, even plans to leave the country from Yan'an.
Maybe it's the story told by Zhao Tiehu that is becoming a reality step by step. Lao Jiang felt that whether it was for the sake of the country or himself, it was also necessary to make some preparations for the future.
At least judging from the current situation, Lao Chiang knew very well that his control of the Nationalist Government was largely inferior to that of the members of the Eighth Route Army. This also means that it is up to debate who will have the authority to end the war!
Even many people around Lao Jiang felt that this trip was a little inappropriate, but Lao Jiang still insisted on doing so. And Zhao Tiehu, who has been back in the base camp for a while at this moment, decided to go to Europe together.
Regarding Zhao Tiehu's decision, Chen Wan and others still disagreed. But Zhao Tiehu insisted very much, saying that this time the matter was promoted by him, and it was necessary for him to go with him to give the delegation more reminders and protection.
In order to ensure the safety of the negotiating delegation, Zhao Tiehu also personally urged the aircraft factory to convert a heavy bomber into a transport aircraft. And this transport plane, Zhao Tiehu also plans to give it to Chongqing as a gift.
With this large transport plane, it will be more convenient for Lao Jiang to travel in the future. And such transport aircraft, whether military or civilian, are relatively safe at this stage. After all, the flight altitude fighter simply does not reach.
After several flight tests, after confirming that there was no problem, Zhao Tiehu took several professional pilots and escorts and flew directly to Yan'an on this special plane. At this time, Lao Jiang also arrived in Yan'an by special plane.
In Zhao Tiehu's view, his little butterfly is playing an effect. What kind of future will it become, even Zhao Tiehu is looking forward to it!
