Chapter 770: What We Say Counts
On February 7, 1945, discussions on the situation in Asia continued. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the morning, the conference was discussed, the generals and diplomats of various countries spoke, and the leaders held private consultations. The change in the attitude of the Soviet delegation turned the tide of the meeting. The conference kicked off for a morning, and Chinese generals and diplomats were at loggerheads as they insisted on China's proposed Asian solution. This plan will cost the Chinese army a huge amount in the Korean nuclear Japanese battlefield, and for them, it is a good thing that fell from the sky, and it is unexpected.
In addition to the calculation of the distribution of benefits under the table, there are also concerns about whether China can do it. Now, they also know that China has two battlefields, and the achievements of the two battlefields are far different. They know the great achievements of the North.
However, they still don't believe it, they don't believe that China has so many troops that don't let go of a shot, can China do it?
The afternoon adjournment was followed by a meeting of delegations to exchange the results of the discussions of the morning session.
According to China's plan, the situation in Europe can also be adjusted, and the Allies can withdraw more resources and enter the European theater with more troops.
Plenary meetings in the evening.
Mao Gong spoke.
According to the results of the previous discussions, Mao Gong proposed the division of the battlefield, but no one believed it. The battlefield is so divided, then the division of spheres of influence after the war is different.
Song Ziwen and the others just knew that Yan'an's plan had only been for a few dozen hours, and he couldn't say anything. Yan'an fought for a lot better than he imagined, so he didn't say anything.
Yan'an absolutely dominated the negotiations.
In accordance with the new agenda discussed by the secretariat of the conference, Mao Gong spoke.
It was he who made this suggestion when Xiaolu participated in the preparatory meeting of the conference secretariat.
Mao Gong said that because the US military has mobilized its military strength and focused on Europe, the time for Asia's victory will be one month or even half a year later than Europe's. But China will not wait forever and will play at its own pace.
Of course, we also have the confidence to win quickly. Fighting a war is not about doing math problems, and there are many factors that change.
We announce the decision we have just taken: after this Yalta meeting, we will launch an offensive on the Korean peninsula with a view to occupying Korea within one to three months and achieving its independence as soon as possible. In addition, we will carry out a strategic attack on Japan around September this year, and we will continue to fight whether or not the United States mobilizes sufficient military strength.
Our resolve is as solid as a rock. No force can change our beliefs.
Mao Gong also said that the facts show that our plan can be realized.
I have said it several times, and I would like to say it again: China has lost millions of troops and tens of millions of people in this war. We have suffered immensely. Unlike you Americans, it would be terrible for you to die tens of thousands, we have already died millions and are still fighting.
Mao Gong said: We are willing to work closely with our allies. As you should be able to see, there are two kinds of troops in China, one is the one that is well equipped by the United States, and that is the team in Chongqing. These ranks suffered many defeats, few victories, and great sacrifices for the people. The other teams were poorly equipped and sacrificed a lot, but they killed and wounded a lot of enemies, and the sacrifices of the people were also great. This is the team led by Yan'an. We have two million troops, which may not seem like a lot of people, but we have 20,000 people supporting us. These people believe in our government and are willing to lend us food to support our manpower, and we are confident that we will fight it.
Roosevelt: "We have liaison officers on your team and know you're very good at fighting. However, we doubt that you will really be able to hit the Japanese mainland? ”
Mao Gong: "We have liberated a large area of the country, and we have wiped out nearly 800,000 Japanese troops in the Northeast alone. Our people's war can be fought to Japan, no matter how many people we die. ”
Stalin: "Do you have people in Japan?" ”
Mao Gong: "Yes. Although our strength in Japan is far inferior to that of the great powers, they have already gained the support of 10 million Japanese people. ”
Both Roosevelt and Churchill were surprised. But they still didn't believe it, and the officials and officers below took turns asking all kinds of questions, and the Chinese officers took turns answering, arguing with each other.
This is the first time it has been stuck. At nine o'clock in the evening, the meeting ended in vain.
That night, Mao Zhoulu and Song visited Roosevelt, and Mao said: If we cannot land in Japan before the end of September, then Japan can become an occupation zone of the United States. In turn, if the Chinese troops land ahead of schedule, our sphere of influence can surpass Osaka.
Roosevelt asked, "What strength do you have that makes you so confident?" ”
The United States sensed the enormous benefits of China's plan and was ready to agree to it. Their main purpose is in Europe, and a large number of foreign aid also goes to Europe. That is, Europe is at the heart of American interests. That's the interests of real money, the battlefield that American Jewish bankers care about the most.
Let the Chinese fight Japan, and we will occupy Japan together with them, and this plan will have great benefits.
Mao Gongdao: "Our army and people are our strength. ”
The two sides also talked about a series of battles of the Chinese army. There were not many Chinese experts in the delegation, and many people did not even know about and did not believe in some battles. In their minds, the Chinese army is still the kind of weak army, and a few hundred Japanese troops can catch up with tens of thousands of Chinese troops. After listening to the introduction of the Chinese, they were in a trance.
Roosevelt, different, knew the details of operations in Northeast China.
Finally, Roosevelt asked: "I noticed that you are going to carry out a strategic strike on Japan, what do you mean?" ”
According to the strategy discussed in advance, Mao Gong said: "This is a military secret. I will say only to you and to a handful of representatives of the USSR. We already have a unit in northern Japan, consisting of Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese, about 100,000 people. They are familiar with Japan and will launch an uprising in Japan at the right time, which will be more useful than a million troops. In addition, I also have 250,000 allied troops in Korea, which are North Korean troops. They are more familiar with Japan than the Chinese. These are our two trump cards. Please be sure to keep it confidential. If it is leaked, if Japan is annihilated in advance, it will not be able to occupy Japan on time, and many more people will die. ”
The 250,000 North Korean army was actually counted like this: 100,000 North Korean troops, plus 50,000 Korean guerrillas, and 100,000 Korean puppet soldiers captured in the future plan. As for the number of guerrillas in the south, the Chinese delegation appropriately exaggerated somewhat.
In fact, the Japanese army is less than 20,000, and they are all guerrillas.
Zhou famously said in an argument with an American official: In Asia, you must rely on China. The two theaters of Asia, Europe and Europe, are interconnected. If a few of you want to reverse the unfavorable situation in Europe, you must put the main forces in Europe. Asia, can you find a reliable army besides ours?
