Dong Wu soon learned that Zhou Ganglai planned to go to Zhengzhou, and he expressed his opposition to Ye Ying: "If we take the initiative to ask them to cooperate, we will inevitably be used in the future, and we will be politically passive, so I suggest that this decision be reported to the Central Committee and wait for the Central Committee's reply." ”

Before Zhou could reply, Bogu Kaifeng also came in, and Bogu came in loudly and loudly declared that the Soviet-German non-aggression pact was a great victory for the Soviet Union, and that this move smashed the conspiracy of Western imperialism to bring disaster to the east, and it was the wisdom of Comrade Stalin. Kaifeng is in charge of Xinhua Daily, and he also claims to set off a propaganda wave in Xinhua Daily to expose the conspiracy of Western imperialism.

After these two people came, the main leaders of the Southern Bureau arrived, and inadvertently formed the Southern Bureau Secretaries' Council, and the two also opposed Zhou Ganglai and Ye Ying going north to Zhengzhou to seek Li Zongren's help, believing that relying on the strength of our army in North China could completely crush the Japanese attack, and the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression in North China was not the first time, nor would it be the last"

Dong Wu's attitude was very resolute, Zhou Ganglai was worried about the deterioration of the situation in North China and the losses suffered by the troops, and also insisted on going north, Bogu Kaifeng supported Dong Wu, Ye Ying supported Zhou Zhoulai, and believed that if Li Zongren sent troops, he could attract at least 10,000 Japanese troops, which could greatly alleviate the situation in North China, and at least alleviate the plight of Yinan and Yiluyu.

"I think it should be reported to the Central Committee. Ask the central government to adjudicate. Small. Supervise... insisted on not giving in, and Bogu Kaifeng's attitude was also very resolute, and Zhou Ganglai had to agree to report to the central government and ask the central government to adjudicate.

While waiting for the central government's reply, Dong Wu once again raised the impact of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact, and Zhou Zhou came to think about it and said: "This treaty is beneficial to the Soviet Union, but the impact on China is also very great, if the estimate is good, Hitler will start a war in Europe, so Britain and France are likely to implement a policy of concessions to Japan in the Far East, and the situation in our country will become difficult for a period of time." Small.

Zhou Ganglai sighed in his heart. In Zhuang Jihua's prediction, once the Soviet-German treaty was signed, it would mean a war in Europe, and in order to cope with the changes in the situation in Europe, the Soviet Union, Britain and France would compromise with Japan one after another, and the international situation would become favorable to Japan for a certain period of time.

"Xinhua Daily should focus its attention on being wary of Europe and the United States betraying China's interests, and reduce its propaganda about the Soviet-German treaty. Small, Zhou Ganglai set the tone of Xinhua Daily's propaganda, and Kaifeng nodded in acceptance.

The central government's reply soon arrived, and in the telegram, the central government not only vetoed Zhou Jilai's suggestion, but also made severe criticism, "This move will bring endless political troubles, and there should be no illusions about the Kuomintang, in the essence of ** they are the same, even if they agree verbally, they will not really take action, and it will not help the situation in North China in the slightest, and the other party will use this matter to obtain propaganda benefits." Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Li Zongren crosses the river, the Japanese army still has four divisions on the north bank of the Yellow River, and it is still unknown whether Li Zongren will be able to break through. Therefore, it is better not to go. ”

Immediately after that, the Central Committee sent a second telegram, asking about the reaction of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact in Wuhan, as well as the reaction of Europe and the United States, reminding them that the method adopted by the Soviet Union at this time to break the trouble between Britain and the United States and oppose dictatorship and fascism is the principle that our party has always adhered to, and there will never be any concessions.

Although the Soviet-German Treaty took place in distant Europe, the encouragement to Chiang Kai-shek was extraordinary, and he immediately sent Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui and Lin Wei, He Yingqin, Chen Bui and others to discuss in the official residence.

Wang Chonghui's judgment on the impact of the Soviet-German treaty on the situation in Europe is exactly the same as that of Zhou Zhuolai, believing that after the signing of the Soviet-German treaty, Hitler has relieved his worries and can go west with all his might, and will no longer make concessions on the Polish issue, and the war will break out within three months to six months at the latest, and together with the European war, Japan is bound to speed up its attack on China, and Britain and France, due to Germany's containment, will adopt the policy of sitting back and watching Japan invade China in the Sino-Japanese war, and Japan's pressure in the international community will be greatly reduced. It is likely that the interests of our country will be sacrificed in exchange for a compromise with Japan.

"If this is the case, will the Japanese end their attack on the Eighth Route Army in North China ahead of schedule and launch an attack on Wuhan first?" Chiang Kai-shek suddenly asked.

He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi looked at each other, Chen Cheng was also a little caught off guard, he couldn't help but look at Bai Chongxi, and was silent for a while, before Bai Chongxi said: "This situation is possible, but it is not very likely, military operations are like a clockwork machine, once it is running, it is difficult to stop, if they want to stop it forcibly, it will hurt themselves." The Japanese army has penetrated deep into the three base areas of the Eighth Route Army in North China, and it is too late to stop now, but whether the duration of the operation will be two months, I am afraid that this will change

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly, a layer of fine sweat broke out on his bare head, his military uniform was still scratched, and even the scenery buckle was not loosened at all, he stood up and looked at the window, pushed open the closed window, a river breeze with heat rushed to his face, and the dreary weather heralded a heavy rain was coming

"Cixiu, when will the Ninth War Zone be ready?"

Chen Cheng stood up and replied, "Chairman." It will take at least another month, the fortifications of Madang and Tianjiazhen fortresses have been completed, but there is still a shortage of thirty-two heavy artillery, and Yang Sen's department has been stationed in Anqing, and our biggest problem now is the lack of troops and ammunition."

"Ammunition, it's ammunition again" Chiang Kai-shek sighed in his heart, this problem has never been solved.1 Zhuang Jihua announced a series of industrial development regulations in Sichuan, "intends to double the production of ammunition within 314, but once Europe goes to war." If Britain and France really close the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, they will no longer be able to import equipment, and the speed of the project will be greatly reduced.

"How much ammunition has been provided by Soviet Russia?" Chiang Kai-shek asked He Yingqin, He Yingqin frowned and thought about it, the gap between the standard of Soviet and Russian weapons is relatively large, especially light weapons, the weapons and ammunition of the squadron mainly adopt European and American standards, and the ammunition supplement of Soviet-made weapons is a big trouble, and today's Fifth Army is Soviet-made weapons and equipment.

"Most of them have arrived, there are statistics from the Material Bureau, and the tank factory that Zhuang Wenge is most concerned about has also entered the installation stage, and most of the equipment has arrived, but the engine equipment has not yet arrived. He's been urging a few times. ”

"The Fifth Army continues to expand, this is our strategic reserve, and it will be expanded into a group army in the future! All Soviet-made equipment. Chiang Kai-shek mused and said that the weapons provided by the Soviet Union were enough to form an army group.

"Chairman of the National Committee, the preparation of the Fifth Theater will take more than a month," Bai Chongxi reminded: "Especially in the Dabie Mountain area, the 21st Group Army has insufficient troops, weapons and equipment, and urgently needs to be replenished

"There are only so many ammunition, telegraphing Song Ziwen to seize the time to import from the United States, act quickly, and strive to send it to China before the outbreak of the European war. Groan·' Advertising Chiang Kai-shek looked broken, and even a little urgent.

Wolf Eye successfully lured the Japanese army to North China, and won more than three months for **, although the marching meeting decided to defend Wuhan without fighting in Wuhan, but he very much hoped to hold Wuhan. To further boost national confidence.

"Chairman, we should strengthen ties with Britain and France, try to persuade them, and don't compromise with Japan Lin Wei thought about it and said: "I remember that Zhuang Wenge once mentioned that if the war breaks out in Europe, Japan is likely to go south, and this is not because Britain and France can make concessions, but because Japan needs to continue the war, so Britain and France may increase their assistance to us." ”

Wang Chonghui immediately said: "This analysis can be made, but I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to go 1, which will give ** the feeling of leading to the east." On the contrary, it is better to let the Central Daily make an analysis of the impact of the Soviet-German pact on the world, and we propose to strengthen military and economic cooperation between the two sides. ”

"Good. That's it" Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and said: "Call the Cultural Revolution, this article let him."

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek to think of Zhuang Jihua who was far away in Sichuan, and he also handed over the article to him to write, but Bai Chongxi and Lin Wei were not surprised at all, Zhuang Jihua made a prediction about the situation in Europe, and even the Sichuan-Tibet Highway was prepared for this.

Zhuang Jihua did not disappoint Chiang Kai-shek, and sent the article the next day, with a very eye-catching title "The Soviet-German Treaty Throws the World into the Flames of War, and China's Future Is Difficult"

"After the last European war. The German generals summed up a vital lesson that Germany could not be in; The Soviet-German Pact relieved Hitler's Führer's fears of the East and Stalin temporarily hid Russia from the war through this pact, but this pact was a disaster for the world.

Führer Hitler would never have made concessions on Polish territory, and Chancellor Chamberlain would not have made concessions on the Polish question, so war would have broken out faster than we thought, and Europe would have been plunged into flames.

Although Britain and France had a large number of troops and were well equipped. But the war law is old, and the army is dull; On the contrary, the German generals have been working hard to study strategy and tactics since the last defeat, and the author once studied at the Psalin Military School, and has studied the military management and strategy and tactics of the German generals, so I believe that Germany will defeat France in a very short time, but because of the weak German navy, their pace will stop in the English Channel like Napoleon.

Changes in the situation in Europe will inevitably affect the situation in Asia, especially in the Far East, and in particular on the line of resistance that we are ongoing

The first thing that will change will be in Soviet Russia, the Soviet-German treaty does not completely reassure Stalin, except for the uneasiness caused by Hitler's anti-Soviet and anti-Semitic after coming to power, he will not let go of the opportunity to use the war for benefits, but before that he must solve the Eastern Front problem, that is, the Japanese problem, so he will exchange with Japan with the interests of China, such as recognizing Manchukuo, closing the Xinjiang passage, and so on.

The second is Britain and France, in order to prevent the Japanese army from going south to the South Seas, Britain and France will also exchange China's interests, and the greatest possibility is to close the southwest border passage and cut off our foreign trade routes.

However, the British and French calculations must have been wrong. The Japanese army was destined to move south, and this was not something that could be changed by the British and French concessions. Two years into the war, Japan's economic potential has almost been exhausted, and so far Japan has been unable to provide sufficient food and cloth to the invading army in the interior, and they have stepped up their plundering of the occupied areas.

The two years of war had depleted Japan's gold and foreign exchange reserves, and Japan could no longer afford to buy iron ore, oil, and rubber from overseas, especially the latter two, which Japan could not obtain even if it occupied China, and the pursuit of these two would force Japan to march into the South Seas.
