November 1, 1943. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoChongqing Airport.

A plane slowly lands on the runway. The plane brought up a strong wind that blew up the sand on the runway. However, before the plane could be stopped, the reporters at the airport swarmed up, prepared their cameras, and aimed them at the plane's door.

The ground crew put the ladder in place, the plane door opened, and a young man in a brand new military uniform appeared at the door, smiling and waving to everyone when he saw so many reporters. After taking pictures, he walked down the gangway.

The officer who came down was Xiao Lu.

By this time, the reporters had already gathered around. The guards following the path quickly dispersed, trying to block the reporters. The trail waved to block the guards.

The foreign reporters asked questions regardless of the guards.

A reporter asked: "May I ask Commander-in-Chief Lu, what do you think of the current war situation in North China?" Can the Eighth Route Army break through Qinhuangdao City? ”

Xiaolu said: "Qinhuangdao is a lonely city, yesterday, hundreds of thousands of troops have surrounded the city, and the siege troops have destroyed all the outer defense lines of the Japanese army defending the city, the defenders have no reinforcements, and the siege troops have been exposed to the powerful artillery fire of our army." You say, can the Eighth Route Army break through Qinhuangdao City? ”

The reporter asked: "Does the Eighth Route Army have artillery fire?" ”

Xiaolu said: "The Eighth Route Army has it, and the Northeast Coalition Army also has it." ”

Another reporter said: "May I ask General Lu, what is your assessment of the annihilation of the Japanese army in the Soviet Union?" ”

Xiaolu said: "The annihilation of the Japanese army that invaded the Soviet Union was the result of close cooperation between the Chinese and Soviet armies. The Soviet troops from the east and west flanks were dispatched together to block the German attack on the western front, and the eastern front cooperated with our army, so that the Japanese army had to flee because it was already strategically surrounded, and was defeated by our army in Outer Mongolia. At present, the remnants of their army are in Outer Mongolia, causing great harm to our people, killing a large number of our herdsmen and robbing them of their cattle, sheep and horses. Our army is in pursuit of them, and soon there will be results. According to the information I received yesterday, they have killed about 5,000 more than 5,000 people, leaving less than 3,000 troops, enduring the double threat of cold winds and plague on the Gobi. ”

One journalist said: "What is your assessment of the war situation in the Soviet Union?" Many people see that the war situation in the Soviet Union is very difficult and pessimistic, but I heard that you have a different opinion. ”

Xiaolu said: "The territory of the Soviet Union is vast, like an elephant, although the German army is strong, like a huge python, may I ask, can the snake swallow the elephant?" At present, the Soviets have won a series of victories in the Urals, and their partisans behind enemy lines have also pinned down millions of German troops. Now, we can see the light of day on the battlefield of the Soviet Union. In the near future, the USSR would drive the German army out of the territory of the USSR. If I'm not mistaken, you are a Soviet journalist. Please help me to convey my respect for the Soviet military and civilians. ”

Another reporter said: "What is your view on the situation in the Pacific theater?" ”

"The situation in the Pacific is the same as the situation on the battlefield in the Soviet Union, and I have seen the light of day. Although the United States and Japan lost the same number of aircraft carriers, the Japanese aircraft carrier destroyed one less one. And the strong production capacity of the United States can ensure that the number of aircraft carriers in the United States will not decrease, but will increase. In addition, I would like to emphasize that our military operations in North China are campaigns launched in line with the situation in the United States and the Soviet Union. My salutes to the U.S. Navy, Army, and Air Force for their heroic battles. ”

A reporter easily seized the opportunity and asked, "I have two questions for General Lu." The first question is that the Northeast Coalition Army has its own troops and does not accept the central command, how can you obey the central command? The second problem is that President Chiang has recovered a large area of land west of Outer Mongolia and Outer Northeast, as well as Dihua, but you occupy the territory, but you do not allow the central government to send officials, and some central officials are brutally suppressed by you. Can you explain? As he spoke, he took a few newspapers and showed them to Xiaolu. It was the news of the suppression of the riots in the Northeast.

Xiaolu said: "First question. We support President Chiang. Now, we have fought several major battles one after another, the army has lost hundreds of thousands, and there is a serious shortage of materials. The campaign was fought on our own initiative, we had an army, and if we did not resist Japan, we would lose our legitimacy, and the campaign against Japan could not be stopped. ”

Everyone hurried to take notes.

Xiaolu said: "Second question. The recovery of Outer Mongolia and Outer Northeast is the result of the resolution of our and the Soviet Union's historical problems. Here I want to praise the USSR, to Marshal Stalin. The Soviet government's abolition of the unequal treaties signed by Tsarist Russia in the past reflects their high demeanor and dedication, as well as their contribution to the overall global anti-fascist situation. At present, the United States and Britain are also abolishing the unequal treaties signed with the Chinese government in history, which is a manifestation of the progress of human civilization, and it is by no means as some people say, these major powers only abolished the unequal treaties in order to let China hold Japan down. No, this is the progress of human civilization. As for your remark that we should kill the central officials, I can tell you unequivocally that this is a conspiracy by the Japanese to drive a wedge between our army and the central government. It was the Japanese who rioted, as well as the former traitors. We have detailed dossiers of these people. The Chinese among the rioters are all former traitors. We were lenient with them, but they cooperated with the Japanese army and launched a riot against the Japanese rebels. I believe that the broad masses of the people will not fall for the Japanese. ”

A reporter asked: "General Lu, how long do you predict that we will defeat the Japanese invaders?" ”

Xiaolu said: "At least two years, at most three years, we will definitely win." Previously, the Japanese were in a hurry to quickly occupy our country, and we did not let them succeed. Now, they want to win in our country, and we can't let them succeed. ”

A reporter said: "May I ask General Lu, I know that you have special insights into the overall situation and have the talent to predict the battle situation." Could you please analyze the situation in India? ”

Xiaolu: "At the beginning of this year, the Japanese army invaded India on a large scale, and the British army was defeated, and the Japanese drove thousands of kilometers and slaughtered a large number of Indian civilians and surrendered soldiers. Later, a stalemate developed in northeastern India. I believe that although the Japanese army sent additional troops to India, they did not have the ability to occupy all of India. We call on the Indian side to abandon unrealistic illusions about Japan and not to have any illusions about what a neo-colonizer would be a good person. An aggressor is an aggressor. A colonizer is a colonizer. ”

The journalist asked: "Is it possible for the Allies to strike back in India?" ”

Xiaolu: "If I'm not mistaken, you're a British journalist. The key to the situation in India lies in what the British army does. If the British forces could cooperate with the Chinese forces, it would be possible to recover the lost territory of India. I would like to emphasize here that to tell all Indians that the Japanese invaders were dangerous, ten thousand times worse than any hated colonizer. ”

The reporter asked: "That is, the Indians need to adopt a policy of cooperation with the Allies?" ”

Xiaolu: "I call on the Indians and the British to actively cooperate. It was hoped that the Indians would temporarily stop the non-cooperation movement and cooperate with the British in the fight against the Japanese army. If you don't cooperate, then you will have to cooperate with another colonizer in the future, and that is the Japanese. The Japanese are terrible and will take your property, your women. Then they burn down your houses. They will rob every antique of your temple and strip every bit of gold from your statues. ”

Historically, Indians and Burmese had some similar attitudes, and they were grateful to the Japanese for causing trouble in South Asia, weakening the power of the British in favor of their independence. Therefore, their judges did not find the Japanese war criminals guilty in the Far East Military Tribunal.

This is how the path brings the water of calamity to India.

At this time, Zhou Gong squeezed forward and said to reporters: "Fellow journalists, we still have a chance to meet. General Lu still has to attend the meeting, so that's all for today. ”

finally got away from the reporter, Xiaolu and Zhou Gong got into a car.

Xiaolu said: "How's it going?" He didn't know if he could discuss work in the car, so he asked vaguely.

Zhou Gongdao: "The United States has agreed to our participation in the Chinese delegation, and we ask that I, you, and the chairman must attend the meeting." Chongqing disagrees. Therefore, the United States came up with a compromise plan, the chairman did not go, the two of us went, and the two of us not only attended the Cairo meeting, but also attended the Tehran meeting, while Mr. Chiang and his party did not attend the Tehran meeting. The United States has convinced the British. The USSR, of course, agreed. So, the two of us attended the meeting, and there was basically no problem. ”

Xiaolu said: "We asked France to participate in the meeting, what is the attitude of Britain and the United States?" ”

Zhou Gongdao: "Britain firmly disagrees. The United States and the Soviet Union agreed, and they wanted to open up a second theater of war. France also agreed. ”

Xiaolu said: "No matter what, France is appreciative of our party. I believe they are also actively striving for it. In order to make this meeting a success, it is necessary to resolve the Indian problem. I suggested that the guerrillas enter northern India and wage guerrilla warfare to hold back the Japanese army. ”

Zhou Gongdao: "This can avoid changes in the situation in Asia and sideways branches." ”

Xiaolu said: "In addition, our guerrillas have entered southern Tibet and opened up a base area in southern Tibet. We can transport the expeditionary force to southern Tibet. In this way, we can de facto occupy southern Tibet. ”

Zhou Gongdao: "I know about this matter, there are only a few Tibetan villages in southern Tibet today. The guerrillas overcame great difficulties and entered southern Tibet. However, the Japanese army had already gained a foothold in the northeastern corner of India. ”

Xiaolu said: "It's just right, let them find a way to help the expeditionary force cross the river." Even if southern Tibet is occupied by Lao Chiang, it will be much better than fighting for India in the future. ”

Zhou Gongdao: "Okay." To tell you one thing, France sent people to learn from our operations behind enemy lines, and they have already arrived in Yan'an. It's a shame that you passed by them. ”

Xiaolu said: "Is Chongqing still engaged in a cult of personality?" ”

Zhou Gongdao: "Their propaganda machine attributes the "Joint Declaration of the United States on Universal Security" of the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and China, as well as the abolition of unequal treaties by the United States and Britain, and the abolition of unequal treaties by the Soviet Union and us. Blowing and blowing, so lively. ”

Xiao Lu suddenly said: "Vice chairman, is it too high-profile for me to come to Chongqing like this?" ”

Zhou Gongdao: "This is a propaganda need, I suggested that you do this, to suppress the limelight of him Jiang someone." The main thing is to let the Americans see our influence on the situation in China. ”

Xiaolu said: "I remembered one thing, I heard that Mr. Lu Xun was seriously ill and was dying. I'll have to go see him. ”

Later, Xiaolu went to the hospital to see Mr. Lu Xun once. This is the second time Xiaolu has seen Lu Xun, and it is also the last.
