Chapter 438: Wind and Snow Northward Advance Faction
February 21, 1941. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info Xinjing. Command of the Kwantung Army.
A telegram was received by the command of the Kwantung Army.
This telegram is digital, and there is no mysterious encryption algorithm.
The staff officers thought it was a commercial telegram, some thought it was a practice telegram, and the telegram was thrown aside.
However, the three staff officers of the headquarters knew the origin of this telegram, and they guessed it.
The three staff officers were captured at the Battle of Nomenkan on that occasion. The captives at that time had a completely new strategic point of view, which was highly valued, and it was said that their strategic point of view was that of a genius who traveled through the snow and ice.
Later, some of the officers were transferred, some were promoted, and some were belittled, but because of their unremitting efforts, a very big faction was formed among the commanding officers of the Kwantung Army, a very mysterious faction, which was a staunch northward faction, which they called the Fengxue northward faction. Among the northward marching faction, there are especially many junior officers.
Although they knew that they were fighting against the ministers around the emperor, they still stubbornly fought against each other.
The core figures of this faction were those who were released, and soon they developed a few more people, some more determined northward entrants, and although the new ones were all middle and lower rank officers, the faction was undoubtedly stronger.
Characters of the factions were distributed in every corner of Manchuria. There were a few who worked in the Manchurian secret service, and they persuaded the Kwantung Army command to send a group of White Russians to the Soviet Union to collect intelligence. This time the persuasion was quiet, and it had no impact on the controversy over the south-to-north, it was just waste utilization.
The Kwantung Army Command, faced with the declining combat effectiveness of the army, happily agreed.
The reason is very simple, the Kwantung Army Headquarters is also mostly northward, but now the atmosphere of disobedience has been suppressed, and some people who were actively moving north in the past have been transferred, such as Masanobu Tsuji. The Japanese base camp was still arguing as it advanced south and north, and it was a reasonable plan to gather intelligence.
However, this time the White Russian team of 2,000 people who gathered intelligence was slightly larger, and they received nearly nine months of espionage training, assassination training, guerrilla warfare training, and training in the current situation of the Soviet Union, and were gradually sent to the Soviet Union. These two thousand people are the White Russia in their hands.
The Kwantung Army General Staff Headquarters and the Kwantung Army Special Service were in charge of this matter, both of which were the departments under the responsibility of the most important members of the Fengxue North Advance Faction.
Now that they got this inexplicable telegram, they immediately thought of the Great Khing'an Mountains in the wind and snow.
The three staff officers quickly deciphered the telegram. After deciphering it, they knew that they had guessed correctly.
The process of deciphering is as follows: they take a book, look for words on the book with numbers, it's as simple as that. It turned out that this telegram consisted entirely of page numbers, line numbers, and numbers. All it takes is a book to decipher. The book should be the right book, the book agreed upon by both parties.
This book is the New Translation of the New Testament, or the Bible, which is the Zhu Baohui Translation, the revised version.
This is an agreement, made in the Great Khing'an Mountains in the wind and snow.
Without knowing the book, the message could not be deciphered, because it was a big book, one word, maybe 5 words in 3 lines on 45 pages, or 12 words in 21 lines on 534 pages. There is no pattern at all.
The telegram said several things: first, in exchange for the German attack on the Soviet Union, urging the Germans to attack in May and not to repeat the mistakes of Napoleon.
Second, the Germans had to bomb the lines of communication after the start of the war, so that the retreating industrial facilities could not retreat and could not organize production. And then destroy it.
Thirdly, the destruction of the Trans-Siberian Far Eastern Railway and the burning of oil and grain facilities in the Far East immediately began, so that the Soviet Union believed that it was the German army that prevented the Soviet Far Eastern troops from advancing westward. Break the will of the Far Eastern army.
Fourth, read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Tell the Japanese troops in Northeast China, North China, and East China to stop clearing the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and stop harming the people, otherwise, I will sabotage your plan to advance north.
The telegram was immediately delivered to the rest of the faction.
In order to discuss the telegram, they traveled collectively in the name of play, and rented a room on the top floor of a small hotel in Xinjing.
Before they decided to come out to discuss, they specially found someone to explain the "Three Kingdoms". Some of them worked very hard, and even bought "Three Kingdoms" to read.
After arguing all night, everyone came to several conclusions.
First, the source of this telegram is credible. Second, the person who sent the telegram was a person with a very high strategic vision, a great person. Thirdly, it is possible to send the diplomatic opinion of the telegram to the base camp through several generals as the result of our discussions.
With regard to the situation in North and East China, the conditions put forward by the other side are very harsh. However, in order to advance northward, according to the inspiration of the story in "Three Kingdoms", if the Japanese army relaxed its offensive, a civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party would break out. The Huangqiao incident in the previous stage and the Yunling incident in southern Anhui are good examples.
For example, if Cao Cao relaxed his pursuit, Yuan Shao's sons began to kill each other.
Your conscience is greatly broken, and you can learn the example of the Zhina. Greatly good.
The crowd was excited about what was to come.
"What if the White Russian spies sabotage force is quickly caught?" As a staff officer, the questions raised are critical.
"Let them direct the bombing of German aircraft, and not destroy them themselves." There will be a countermeasure right away.
"That's the Western Front. How far can the Western Front bomb? Also, what about the Eastern Front? ”
"The Soviets on the Eastern Front had few people and weak troops, so even if they let them destroy themselves, they would not have great losses."
"I suggest sending some big Japanese spies in, a few hundred people are enough."
The discussion is getting closer to the substance.
Suppose that our Kwantung Army did not use a lot of strength to cooperate with Germany, first of all, we could not let the Soviet troops in the Far East reinforce Europe, and then bomb the logistics, so that its national strength was completely lost.
That would lead to the defeat of the USSR on the Western Front. Even if it is not defeated, the situation in the USSR will not be very good. In this case, the Soviet troops on the Eastern Front will inevitably be in turmoil. Our army can send troops to the Soviet Far East to defeat the powerful Soviet Union.
Germany occupied the European part of the Soviet Union, and the Asian part of the Soviet Union was all owned by our Great Japanese Empire. The USSR did not exist anymore.
What a prospect this is.
The great goals that the Empire has not achieved for decades are about to be fulfilled in our hands. Banzai!
A question was also raised. What is the purpose of the other party?
The crowd fell silent.
This is everyone's question, and it is everyone's knot.
Why would he come up with such a brilliant strategy for his sworn enemy, the Japanese army? What good does a stronger Japan do him?
Does he really think that we will share the post-war benefits with him? Does he have the strength to share the power with us?
Is it his claim alone, or is it the claim of northern Shaanxi?
There is speculation that this is a young political genius with no practical political experience. His purpose is nothing more than to relieve his own pressure. From this point of view, this man has no vision.
This is a matter of no conclusion.
Some people say that the fourth article is his purpose. After discussing it for a long time, we felt that this was the only way to understand.
On Monday morning, the officers left the hotel one after another, each going to work in their own office, some by car or by rickshaw.
When a young officer left, there was no car to sit in, and the car was already full, and a rickshaw driver came up and said, "Taijun, take the car?" There are cotton pads, and there are small quilts to cover the legs, which are not cold. ”
The rickshaw driver pulled the staff officer to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and then left empty, went to a small alley near the main road, entered the house, saw the people in the house, and said: "See, the middle-level officers of the Japanese army are really brewing something." ”
