The whole book is the third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 11, Chaotianque, the fifth section, and the dawn of the eighteenth

From the moment he got on the plane, Weidemeyer's expression was very serious, at this moment he was in a corner of the courtyard with Stilwell and Brian, and the three of them were discussing in a low voice that Weidemeyer only knew that the Soviet army was going to "enter" the northeast on the plane, this news made him nervous at the time, Sino-Soviet relations were severely affected because of the Xinjiang rebellion, and the relationship was at a low point, and the Soviet army was going to "enter" the northeast, which was bound to arouse a high degree of vigilance on the Chinese side, and the possibility of a conflict between the two sides was extremely great

No, not hugely, but for sure

Stilwell had just given him a speech that Zhuang Jihua had already transferred troops from the Korean battlefield to the north, and about 600,000 troops were marching towards North Manchuria overnight

Sino-Soviet conflict, what should the United States do? What about the U.S. Advisory Corps?

Stilwell was also a little anxious, in China, his reputation rose rapidly, thanks to the Jiangbei Theater of Operations, the team was frequently reported, especially the Battle of North China, the total annihilation of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army of 400,000, an unprecedented victory, the subsequent Battle of the Northeast, although the reduction was not much, the first war recovered the entire Northeast; His brilliance almost overwhelmed the European generals who were fighting in Normandy and the admirals who were winning in the Pacific

However, the "entry" of Soviet troops into the northeast put him in a dilemma, as Zhuang Jihua's adviser, he had to assist Zhuang Jihua in command, but the US government was obviously unwilling to get into the Sino-Soviet dispute

All three were somewhat helpless, and the Chinese were no less wary of Soviet Russia than they were against Japan, and they preferred to weaken the Korean forces and transfer troops north to meet the Soviet army

The door opened, Song Meiling came out with a faint smile, beside Yang Yongtai, after talking to him in a low voice, the two of them left together, Xiao Zanyu immediately announced, inviting Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi, Wei Demai, Stilwell, Yang Sen and others to enter

After everyone entered, Chiang Kai-shek had already adjusted his seat and sat on the first seat, Zhuang Jihua sat next to him, and Chiang Kai-shek had hung a map of the northeast behind him, and Wei Demaier saw at a glance that the red arrows on the map were pointing to Heilongjiang from all directions

After everyone sat down, Chiang Kai-shek opened his mouth and said to Wei Demai: "General Wei Demai, the Soviet army wants to invade our northeast region, I have asked Wang Chonghui to discuss with Pan You, the attitude of our government is that it will never accept it, there is no Japanese army in North Manchuria, and the soldiers of the puppet Manchurian Wehrmacht who escaped the border, our ** team has the strength to deal with them all, and there is no need for the Soviet army to cross the border; Wang Chonghui has been ordered to inform Pan You that if the Soviet troops cross the border, we will firmly block it, and there will be an armed conflict between the two sides"

Chiang Kai-shek's attitude was very firm, his tone was unquestionable, and Weidemeyer sighed in his heart that the Allied Front was about to waver again

"Chairman, I will give a speech to the president about your country's attitude, and I will also give a speech on my personal opinion, I think that China has recovered the entire northeast, and a small force of Japanese troops or puppet troops is fully capable of dealing with it."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction, Zhuang Jihua put forward two suggestions just now, first, through diplomatic means, to force the Soviet army to abandon the invasion, at least to delay the time of the Soviet invasion; The second is to make preparations for military handling, continue to transfer troops to the north, and station at least 1 million troops in the Sino-Soviet border areas

Regarding the former, Zhuang Jihua further commented that Roosevelt must be clearly told that if the Soviet army invades, no matter what the reason, China will be regarded as an invasion and will resolutely carry out an armed counterattack

"General Weidemeyer, General Stilwell, since our army began to march to the northeast, the Japanese army was defeated and retreated, and today, our army has recovered the entire northeast, Stalin's purpose is very clear to us, if he insists on invading the northeast of our country, then the Soviet government will bear full responsibility for all the consequences caused by this," Zhuang Jihua added with a serious expression

Stilwell looked at Weidemeyer, Weidemeyer's expression was solemn, he was very aware of the consequences of this statement, but the purpose of his visit to China was to deal with Japan and not Soviet Russia, and now he has not received instructions from the White House, so it is not easy to express his position indirectly

"General Zhuang, General Stilwell has already addressed me, I am well aware of the situation in the Northeast, and personally, I think that Stalin made a serious mistake in this move, and I deeply understand the actions of your country"

Everyone can see that Weidemeyer is very cautious, and he is extremely careful in his choice of words, for fear of involving Washington

Zhuang Jihua nodded in acceptance, and Weidemeyer must make a statement, otherwise he is likely to gain Chiang Kai-shek's trust, and then let the United States gain the trust of the Chinese, which will have a serious impact on the long-term Sino-US relations

Chiang Kai-shek said coldly: "Diplomacy is diplomacy, and military preparations must still be made.

Zhuang Jihua stood up and walked to the map when he heard this, and began to introduce him to yesterday's deployment, everyone listened attentively, with Zhuang Jihua's narration, Weidemeyer became more and more sure in his heart, Stalin made a big mistake, Zhuang Jihua only left 400,000 troops in North Korea, and the rest of the troops were almost all transferred north, including two mechanized group armies and an expeditionary force, five group armies, with a total strength of as many as 900,000, more than 2,000 tanks and armored vehicles, and 800 combat aircraft, in addition to being able to increase from the airport near Pingjin at any time

As far as he knew, the number of tanks, armored vehicles and aircraft of the Soviet Russian Far Eastern Army was not large, and even if the troops of the Northeast Theater were not replenished, they were enough to deal with it

However, this conflict is unacceptable to the United States and will seriously affect the US-led allied camp, and at the same time have a far-reaching impact on the situation in the Far East

"Our difficulty lies in the fact that it is very likely that in the early stage of the Soviet invasion, our army will be in a difficult situation, we only have the Eighth Army and the Sixth Army in North Manchuria, with a total strength of no more than 100,000 troops, in order to make up for the lack of troops, I have ordered Dai Anlan to immediately reorganize the Manchurian Defense Force anyway, so that we can increase the number of troops by 100,000, but their equipment is very poor, and when they escape from the battlefield of Soviet Russia, their heavy weapons are almost lost

I judge that Stalin's aim was not to occupy the whole of the Northeast, but to occupy a part of the northern part of the Northeast and to take the initiative in dealing with the Far East and the Mongolian question in the future."

This is Zhuang Jihua's strength, from military to political to diplomatic, peeling back the cocoon, and analyzing from a strategic height, often hitting nine times out of ten

"Once Stalin has achieved his goal, he must ask for political handling, and then delay the negotiations, so as to provide an opportunity for the Soviet army to stay in North Manchuria, until the Mongolian issue is resolved" Zhuang Jihua said expressionlessly: "For this reason, we must take the initiative diplomatically, tell the allies that we do not accept the reasons of the Soviet army, once the Soviet army crosses the border, we will regard it as an invasion of the **, and we will mobilize all our forces to counterattack until the Soviet army is driven out of Chinese territory."

In response, our army can divide a part of its forces and cross the border to attack Vladivostok, and I propose to send the 1st Army and the 112th Army to carry out this task, only need to capture Vladivostok, even if North Manchuria loses, we can take the initiative"

"What if the Soviets stop it?" Stilwell asked suddenly

Zhuang Jihua sneered: "Stalin was able to pursue the Japanese army into our northeast without leaving, so why can't we pursue the Japanese army into Vladivostok?" There were a lot of accidents on the battlefield, probably, probably, we wiped out a Soviet unit as if it were Japanese troops"

"General Zhuang, have you thought about it, this will make the situation out of control, and it will be extremely unfavorable to diplomatic handling" Wei Demai was surprised by Zhuang Jihua's naked coercion, he was very worried that if he continued on this road, the conflict would become bigger and bigger, and it would be difficult to control

"This conflict was provoked by Stalin, and we responded passively," Zhuang Jihua calmly retorted: "We are not only allowed to fight us, we can't fight him, this battle has been won, at least we can ensure peace in Northeast Xinjiang for ten years."

Brian calculated in his heart that if he invaded the northeast, the Soviet army would inevitably invest heavy troops, and the number of troops in the direction of Vladivostok would not be large, and China's 100,000 heavy troops would enter the Soviet territory and have an advantage in troops, and it would be possible to capture Vladivostok

"**, what do you judge the total strength of the Soviet army? After the transfer of these two armies, are the troops enough? Bai Chongxi asked

"According to the information provided by the officials and generals of the puppet Manchukuo, I estimate that the Soviet Far Eastern Front is about 400,000 to 450,000, but it must be taken into account that Stalin may transfer the Mongolian Front, so their total strength is around 600,000, considering that a part of the troops must be divided to attack Vladivostok, the Soviet army can be put into attack the northeast about 550,000 to 600,000 This number is already very broad, in fact, I personally believe that the Soviet army is around 500,000 troops."

"Our army has 900,000 troops going north, even if the 112th Army of the First Army advances to the Soviet border, our army still has 800,000 troops in front of the Soviet army, and the strength is far superior to them."

"You can't underestimate the enemy," Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, he turned to Chiang Kai-shek: "Chairman, since Stalin has transferred troops from Mongolia, Wei Lihuang can also move eastward, let Fu Zuoyi lead the 35th Army, 86th Army, 94th Army, a total of 150,000 troops to the east, move closer to the northeast, and be ready to support the northeast battlefield at any time."

Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and agreed: "Jiansheng has a very good intention, so he will do so, resign, and immediately draft an order to tell Wei Lihuang to form the Eastern Advance Corps, which is composed of the 35th Army, the 86th Army, the 94th Army, and the Provisional Cavalry Fourth Army, with Fu Zuoyi as the commander-in-chief."

"Yes, chairman" Chen Cheng replied expressionlessly, Bai Chongxi's suggestion had actually been thought of by him, but before he could speak, Bai Chongxi preemptively said it

Chen Cheng was a little depressed, when he came, he was still more confident, thinking that this time Chiang Kai-shek might severely punish Zhuang Jihua, optimistic estimates that it is possible to remove him from his post and let him or Du Yuming act as his agent, but no matter who it is, as long as it is not Zhuang Jihua, after this battle, he can seek to serve in the Northeast Theater

But as soon as Chiang Kai-shek saw Zhuang Jihua, it seemed that the anger suddenly disappeared, and the board was held high, but it fell quietly, and Zhuang Jihua was not injured

In another small courtyard not far from the conference room, Yang Yongtai's heart was uncertain, Song Meiling was holding a teacup and looking at him intently

"Madam, I think I already understand the purpose of **" Yang Yongtai finally spoke, Song Meiling quietly breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of tea, and put the cup down

"Please also sir comment"

As soon as Song Meiling arrived here, she told Yang Yongtai in detail about the doubts just now and Zhuang Jihua's suggestion, and Yang Yongtai judged his purpose based on Zhuang Jihua's performance just now and his understanding of him for more than ten years, but Yang Yongtai was very hesitant to say it

Yang Yongtai is relatively Westernized on the outside, but in his heart he follows Confucian philosophy, loyalty to the monarch, and is an important Confucian ideology; Yang Yongtai struggled for a long time between his loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek and his friendship with Zhuang Jihua, and Chiang Kai-shek probably disapproved of Zhuang Jihua's idea, which would speed up the steps against Zhuang Jihua and possibly order his dismissal from office

After hesitating for a while, Yang Yongtai finally compromised with his origin: "The focus of ** fell on the post-war period, madam, now I can conclude that ** was convinced at the beginning of the war that we would win, so at that time, he began to deal with the post-war problems"

"The post-war situation in China is that there are two parties, two governments, and two armies, and the possibility of a civil war is very high, but he does not want this, and he believes that the post-war country should be like the United States, through elections, to achieve a two-party rotation of government."

"So, there have been times before, and this time, he was deliberately assisting GCD?" Song Meiling asked

"It's not entirely like this, sometimes it may be a last resort, madam," Yang Yongtai looked at Song Meiling with a straight face: "At the beginning of the war, the enemy was strong and I was weak, and the GCD's anti-Japanese war base behind the enemy line contained a large number of Japanese troops and relieved the pressure on the frontal battlefield, so he assisted them several times, with the aim of stabilizing the battlefield behind the enemy line and gaining time for the frontal battlefield."

The same is true when counterattacking, the battlefield behind enemy lines can cooperate with the frontal counteroffensive, so he also has to assist their wife, ** pro-Communist, but will never join the Communist, which can be seen from his several negotiations with GCD and the toughness in the Hao Pengju incident

As I said just now, there is a lack of trust between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so he has been doing this work all these years to promote trust between the two parties

Whether it is to give Chen G food in eastern Henan or to incorporate Chen G's troops, it is for this purpose"

Song Meiling suddenly realized that when Zhuang Jihua and Chen G acted in front of her, she was a little annoyed, but after thinking about it, she sighed, judging from Zhuang Jihua's situation at that time, it could only be like this

Then why was he so tough in the Hao Pengju incident? Don't give GCD steps at all? Song Meiling remembered another question, Zhuang Jihua was so tough that he had already mobilized his troops and was ready to fight

"This is the other side of him," Yang Yongtai thought about and said: "He is like this in Sichuan, there are many warlords in Sichuan, and they are fighting with each other, ** on the one hand to support Yang Sen and Li Jiayu and them, and on the other side to hold Deng Xihou Tian Songyao; But he has never shaken Liu Xiang's strength, nor did he let Yang Sen and Deng Xihou challenge Liu Xiang's power; On the contrary, if they do, he will still suppress it, and why should he do this? Because he needs Sichuan stability

If Liu Xiang's rule is shaken, Sichuan will be chaotic, which will hinder what he has to do, Mrs., ** is very good in terms of proportion

So, on this issue, I look at it this way, Hao Pengju's toughness in the incident is to warn GCD, why warn GCD? This is because after the Battle of Shandong, there have been more and more conflicts between the two parties over land grabbing, and GCD's blatant rebellion is bound to affect the trust of the two parties, so he must be tough."

Yang Yongtai's analysis is interlocking, and he has almost seen through what Zhuang Jihua has done in the past few years, but he doesn't know that Zhuang Jihua has gone far in this regard, because he knows Chiang Kai-shek better than Yang Yongtai
