Chief of Staff Nikishev came to see Xiaolu, and first apologized: "This time Zhukov invited you to come, I really want to see you quickly, but he was not in good health last night, and today he is better, and he wants to meet you." I beg your pardon www.biquge.info pen "Fun", but he has been directing everything in the hospital. ”

By now, Koji knew the result of the assassination of Zhukov by the Japanese: Zhukov was wounded. The results of the information given to the Japanese were completely in line with Koji's judgment. Koji was very proud, which showed that he had a deep understanding of the Japanese.

When they arrived at the field hospital, they finally met Zhukov.

It was a military camp, far from any Mongolian village, but very close to the front-line army station, only a dozen kilometers away. The hospital is made up of large tents. When I entered the tent, there was a man lying on a bed in the middle, and there were five or six staff officers in the tent, who seemed to be recording some instructions, each with a notebook and a few pencils.

The man in the bed was Zhukov.

Historically, many people have speculated about Zhukov's psychological activities on his way to the front, believing that Zhukov was under a lot of pressure and that if he could not win, then he would be purged. Going to the front line to command, for him personally, is a matter of life and death.

In essence, this is nothing more than speculation. Stalin's purge of rebellion was not based on whether he won the battle or not, but whether he had counterrevolutionary words and deeds, that is, whether or not he opposed Stalin's words and deeds was the red line of the purge of rebellion. Zhukov did not have the question of opposing Stalin, he supported Stalin, and it was impossible to cross this red line.

Zhukov was half-lying on the hospital bed, with gauze wrapped around his shoulders and gauze around his neck, and when he saw the path, he was about to get up. Xiao Lu hurriedly held him down and said, "General, that's it, don't move." Your health matters. ”

Zhukov said: "I was very interested in your letter after reading it, and I also have a lot of questions. Let's talk. You don't mind if someone takes notes, do you? We need to send the transcript of the conversation to Moscow, and even to the political bureau. ”

Xiaolu said: "That's good. The records were sorted out and sent out after being reviewed by the two of us. In addition, we also sent it to Yan'an. ”

The idea sent to Yan'an was a temporary idea of Xiaolu. Must be equal.

There are two ways to do things with the weak, and there are two ways to play tricks, just like Vietnam wanted China to play tricks in the beginning, asking for things, asking for assistance, and making demands. The second way is to use strong self-confidence and strong ability to help each other. The trail has no other advantages, only a strong mind, a lot of strategic intelligence. This trick was used against the Soviet Far East before, and now it is also used against Zhukov.

Zhukov said: "Excellent. So let's get down to business. Do you think this victory will determine the future direction of the world, and why? ”

Xiaolu said: "At present, the Soviet Union is facing an unfavorable situation of fighting on the Eastern and Western Fronts. The same is true for Germany. Japan did not have this embarrassing situation, but he designed such an embarrassing situation for himself, with China on the one hand and the Soviet Union on the other. In the future, if the United States enters the war, there will be two theaters, Europe and the Pacific. Of course, China is an exception, there are no two battlefields. However, there are two battlefields in China, a frontal battlefield on the southern front and a guerrilla war behind enemy lines on the northern front. It can be seen that China is in a strategically advantageous situation. ”

Zhukov said: "Yes, you said in your letter that the earth is round. The battle situation has infinite possibilities. ”

Xiaolu said: "The United States has not yet entered the war, and other Europe has no point in analysis, it is too weak." If these five countries are fighting only one war at a time, then there are many possibilities. If some countries fight two wars at the same time, and some countries fight one, there are several possibilities. Permutations and combinations, combined with the element of chance, make the outcome difficult to predict. ”

Seeing Zhukov's questioning look, he said to Xiaolu: "Of course, the world pattern is not dice throwing, not mathematics. Everyone has to consider the gains and losses, and consider many conditions. And at this time, the freak of Japan came out. Their army was to march north to fight the Soviet Union, and their navy was to go south to fight the American colonies. And the Japanese rank and file officers are rebellious, and now the army has to test their tactics. If the Soviet Union had beaten Japan badly, and it had been very painful, then they might give up going north, and the southward faction might have the upper hand, and the USSR would have faced a favorable situation of war. The world pattern is a situation. This is the character of the Japanese. ”

Zhukov fell into deep thought. His thoughts followed the path of thought. Koji is also trying to organize his own words, using the information he can gather, plus his own analysis and judgment.

Xiaolu continued: "On the other hand, it's different. Japan and Germany flanked the Soviet Union on both sides, and if the Soviet Union was defeated, Europe would be finished, and Germany would be the only one. China is also finished, and Asia and Japan are the only ones. Ten years from now, there will be three great powers in this world, Germany, Japan, and the United States. In the end, Japan and Germany will flank the United States, and the United States will perish, this is the idea of both of them. ”

Zhukov: "So what will be the outcome of the first scenario?" ”

Xiaolu said: "If Japan goes south, it will harm the interests of the United States, and it will inevitably pull the United States into the water, so that the United States will not ignore Europe, and the United States will fall into a situation of fighting on two sides, and Japan will be very disadvantaged, with the United States in the south, the Soviet Union in the north, and China in the west." After the victory of the Soviet Union over Germany, it could turn back against Japan, or it could support China against Japan. This is the best ending, where the forces of several countries will reach a balance. ”

Zhukov: "You are fighting for the interests of your country. ”

Xiaolu said: "Yes. Like you, I am a patriot. What was good for the USSR happened to be good for China, and we have a common enemy. So, we came together. And I believe that our interests will be aligned for decades to come. ”

Zhukov: "The world is complicated. Other countries are also fighting for their interests. ”

Xiaolu said: "But with talented people like you, talented people like you, leaders with strategic vision like Stalin, and visionary leaders like Mao, we will push the world forward together." It starts with Normenheim. ”

Zhukov: "You should see Stalin and tell him your point of view." ”

Xiao Lu: "General, let's talk about it after victory." If only I had my word he knew. ”

Zhukov: "I changed my mind. To tell you the truth, it turned out that I was not going to give your troops a lot of equipment, and now, I will report to the military council, and you will give you whatever you want. ”

Xiao Lu: "General, you have made an extremely wise decision. I demand that these supplies be paid, and that we pay them back by participating in the war. We are poor, please understand. ”

Zhukov smiled, he wanted to take these supplies for nothing, he didn't want to pay, and he didn't want to owe favors. Zhukov: "I believe that with such a far-sighted commander like you, this unit can play a great role as long as it has equipment. ”

Xiao Lu said: "Okay, let's start studying some details of the battle of Nomenhan. ”

Zhukov: "For the first time, I've let someone else dictate the rhythm of the conversation. As he spoke, he laughed, and the wound he pulled hurt as he spoke.

Xiaolu said: "That's because you're injured." Regarding Nomenkan, I feel that the role of the infantry is secondary, and the aircraft, tanks, artillery, and rear transportation will be more important than the army. ”

Zhukov: "I'd like to hear your analysis. ”

Xiaolu said: "The doctor is unhappy, wait for you to rest for a while, and then we will continue to talk." ”

In the evening, the staff officers of the Chinese and Soviet sides had already sorted out the records of the conversations, and the Chinese staff officers were Xue Rui and Wang Li, while the Soviet side had more than a dozen. The procedure is as follows: the Chinese manuscript is sorted out by Xiaolu, the collation is completed, the Russian manuscript is revised, and finally, Zhukov reviews it, Zhukov reviews it, signs it by the two, and transmits it to Moscow and Yan'an. The manuscript transmitted to Yan'an was only a summary draft, because there was only one staff telegram.

The group stayed in Mongolia for a week. In the past few days, Zhukov has to talk to Xiaolu once a day. The week was a huge workload, and if it weren't for Zhukov's poor health, the conversation would have been even longer.

A very small part of what they talked about was Japanese culture, the Japanese people's habit of making decisions, the Japanese strategic outlook, the Japanese military deployment in Northeast China, and so on. Most of them are the world situation and the strategic orientation of various powerful countries. Finally, it is a deduction of the world situation. In the last few days, the drills of the Chinese and Soviet sides were involved.

The conversation was transmitted to the General Staff in Moscow, which on the same day realized the importance of the conversation and immediately and urgently transmitted it to the Political and Political Bureau. The political bureau was reviewed by Stalin.

Stalin was shocked by Koji's insights, and knowing the details of Koji's meeting with Zhukov, he made the decision to demand that the daily transcript of the conversation be immediately transferred to his desk. Every time a document arrives, whether you are having a meal or a meeting, you must immediately deliver it to yourself.

Thus, the political situation, that is, Stalin, was also involved in the deduction of the world situation.

The intelligence provided by Koji, his foresight and brilliant analysis all attracted the officers of the Soviet Military Council.

The military council unanimously agreed with Zhukov and provided 25,000 troops with equipment for the Northeast Democratic Alliance, and in addition, at the request of the Northeast Democratic Alliance, it provided equipment for several small factories free of charge and a large amount of industrial raw materials. Yichun wanted to buy radio station equipment, and other requests, and they all agreed.

Of course, Xiaolu promised that the industrial equipment and other materials obtained by the Chinese troops would not be free of charge, and that they would be gradually returned with light industrial products in the future. Its price is calculated according to the Soviet price in 1938. The repayment period is twenty years without interest.

Xiao Lu's conversation with Zhukov in the past few days was sincere, although he had just calculated Zhukov. In fact, the two are not contradictory, they are both for the interests of the Northeast. If the Japanese are not allowed to move more highly, the Soviets will not attach importance to the Chinese, and in that way, the interests of the Northeast Resistance League will not be maximized.

Xiaolu's deepest thought in his heart is to hope that they will fight viciously, weaken each other's strength, and give China a chance. These are thoughts, ideas that he has never said to anyone.

This is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The Soviets did what they said they would, and they moved very quickly.

On the 18th, the People's Commissar of Defense ordered that Feklenko be dismissed from the post of commander of the 57th Special Army and Zhukov appointed as the commander of the army. In later generations, many people commented that Feklenko was afraid of death, and the reason was that his command was too far from the front line.

From the change of generals from the front, it is clear that Stalin's style of behavior is clear. In this sense, if Zhukov wins, it is Zhukov who wins for Stalin. Zhukov was nothing more than one of Stalin's hands.

Stalin remembered the name of this Chinese general.

Stalin did not officially send a telegram to this Chinese general, but later someone came with the news that Stalin said that the political and political bureaus appreciated your conversation.

Before and after World War II, Stalin's power and prestige were at their peak, and his words were the words of the political situation. On the surface, he does not say anything, but he often directly expresses his conclusive opinions at meetings: what the government thinks the bureau thinks, and how the government thinks it is.

The political bureau appreciated your conversation, that is, Stalin appreciated your conversation.

On the first day, Xiaolu proposed that the two sides initialed an agreement called the Sino-Soviet Far East Cooperation Agreement, in which the Soviet Union would provide military equipment, production equipment, provide specialists, and sell raw materials for production. It fully cooperated with the Soviet army in the campaign, as the price of part of the military equipment. The Northeast provides agricultural and light industrial products to repay the loans of the Soviet side, including equipment, specialists, raw materials for production.

The agreement will enter into force on the seventh day.

June 18, 1939, Yichun.

Xiaolu returned to Yichun. He was very happy that he had finally begun to cooperate with the Soviet Union as a military entity in terms of contacts with the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet Union was still experimenting with this cooperation and did not believe that the Northeast Coalition Army could play any big role, it was an equal cooperation after all.

If you want to win the status of cooperation with the Soviet Union on an equal footing, you will need to see the performance of the Northeast Coalition Army in future battles. If at a critical moment, it played a huge role, the Soviets would really put away the chauvinism of the great powers and cooperate honestly.

The Soviet side moved quickly, and several trains of infantry equipment, which were originally intended to be transported to Outer Mongolia, were transported directly to the Far East, to a small station opposite Foshan.

After communication between the General Staff and the Soviet Far East, the new arrivals were equipped with limited equipment to equip Commander Zhu Chi's Xing'an Column, Commander Lin Meng's Inner Mongolia Column, and Wang Santai's Special Operations Brigade.

A few days later, a large number of clothing, weapons and other materials were transported from Foshan into Yichun, and before Yichun, they were received by Zhu Chi's troops, who had come to collect equipment.

Because Zhu Chi had already opened up the secret passage into a road, the rest of the equipment was also transported from the defense area of Zhu Chi's troops, through the vicinity of Bei'an Town, to the direction of Qiqihar. According to the plan, Lin Meng began to assemble all his troops to the north of Qiqihar and prepare to receive equipment.

These two forces freed up a large number of obsolete weapons, which were left for the local militia, and at this time, the people in the areas where the two columns were located were armed.

Originally, the General Staff wanted many different types of firearms, but the Soviet artillery had to be concentrated on the front line, and it was impossible to take it out at once, and the weapons given to the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army were mostly rifles, machine guns, mortars and other old weapons.

The staff also asked for a production line of rifles and cartridges, and the equipment was not ready, but it was fast.

The Soviet Union also shipped a large amount of communications equipment, and soon, all military units in Yichun were equipped with telephones, and the communication equipment of several units such as the Anti-Japanese Union was also greatly improved.

Zhu Chi's troops received new equipment and immediately began training. Soon, the new training syllabus was in place.

Yichun kept a low profile and kept it strictly secret. All troops receiving Soviet equipment were not allowed to have any contact with the localities. Even so, the military was uplifted and excited.

However, Xiaolu's eyes were directly fixed on the west bank of the Nenjiang River. There were two directions of advance, one on the Baicheng-Arshan railway line, and the other on the Qiqihar-Manzhouli railway line.

To the west of the White City, the layout is being stepped upon.
