Chapter 1924 Dinghaishen Needle

Mongolia, Kulen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

An Yi, who was discussing behind closed doors with the two sworn brothers, Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong, was surprised when he received the news of the loss of Chicago, and immediately interrupted the conversation with the two brothers-in-law and called an emergency military meeting.

Although it is not clear what is really happening on the American side, one thing is certain: the fall of Chicago, as the railway hub and the center of light and heavy industry in the United States, will have an extremely bad impact on the production of the American military industry, and may even affect the strategy of the entire Allied countries.

You must know that Chicago is the largest steel base in the United States, and its agricultural and transportation machinery, chemicals, petrochemicals, electrical machinery, aircraft engines, etc. are in a leading position in the United States, in addition to wood processing, papermaking, electronics, textiles, clothing, flour and other industrial sectors.

The battle has completely subverted An Yi's perception of World War II, and he feels more and more uncertain about the future.

"With the changes taking place in Europe and then in North America that are unfavorable to the allies, I think it is very necessary for us to accelerate the course of the war in the Northeast and the Far East. As for the betrayal of Lu Yixuan's troops, we can take it slowly after fully exerting political and military threats! Judging from the current strategic situation, with the fall of Stalingrad, it should only be a matter of time before the German army occupies Moscow before the arrival of winter, and the next step is very likely for the Soviet army to retreat to the Volga hills, the North Uwareh hills and the Ural mountains.

"The war has come to this point, and we should fully anticipate the difficulties we may encounter in the future...... After the occupation of Moscow, it is very likely that the German army will rely on the city defense of Moscow and the Russian highlands, the Valdai hills, the Don River and the Volga River to build a strong defense line to protect the Belarusian, Ukraine, lower Don River and the Caucasus region that it occupies. ”

Seeing the whispers and arguments in the conference room, General Deng Bin, president of the National Defense University, who was designated by An Yi to explain and was in charge of studying the international pattern, paused before continuing:

"Don't think I'm alarmist, this possibility exists, and the probability of it appearing is getting bigger and bigger! We have always maintained a good cooperative relationship with Germany, but there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests! We were not without contradictions with Germany, in the Middle East we sheltered the British troops who retreated to Yemen, and in Iraq and Persia we blocked the pace of German expansion to the East!

"Our oil-producing areas in the two river basins of West Asia, as well as the fertile fields of India, are no less attractive to the Germans than Ukraine and the Caucasus, and it is the best choice for the Germans to completely reverse the problem of insufficient resources and living space through a war, and then occupy the East European Plain and then move to West Asia and South Asia!

"Compared with attacking Britain, the western Asian region bordered by land is more conducive to the operation of large armies. On the Soviet-German battlefield, the German army plus its servant ** team, more than 10 million people, to maintain so many troops all the time, it is necessary to find an opponent, looking at the surrounding area, which opponent is worthy of Germany to use force? With the fall of the USSR, the target can only be us!

"Therefore, my suggestion is to maintain the previously made plan for operations in the Northeast, and liberate the Northeast and the Far East as quickly as possible, so as to free up forces to deal with the threat of the German army on the Western Front! Among them, the only fine-tuning is the Fourth Route Army, just like the previous deployment made by Commander Li Jinlong, one of the group armies marched eastward to occupy the Chaxi, Rehe and Liaoxi regions, and the remaining two group armies occupied Zhangjiakou, Datong and Guisui respectively, creating the illusion that our army was moving south, giving the country an attitude that we would not hesitate to fight, and forcing the problem to be resolved peacefully! ”

"Is it just like this, Lu Yixuan, that traitor?"

Lieutenant General Li Jun, chief of staff of the Third Route Army, who was attending the meeting as an observer, stood up and said angrily:

"The Japanese army has been seriously shaken, even with the strength of the first and second route armies, it is enough to take the northeast, not to mention that there is a strategic reserve of Chief Hu to call? I suggest that after the Third Route Army arrives in Jinzhou, it should immediately march westward along the Beining Railway, enter and occupy Pingjin, and strive to make our army's entry into the customs more powerful, so that no matter which force is behind this matter, it must weigh the serious consequences of a war with our army!

"As the old saying goes: if you don't get rid of internal troubles, there will never be peace! Lu Yixuan's move is like releasing a devil, if we don't decisively suppress it by thunderous means, and the generals of the unified army outside will follow suit, and our seemingly prosperous cause is very likely to fall apart! Therefore, I insist on punishing internal thieves as much as defending against external insults! ”

Perhaps in order to show his clear attitude, there was a one-sided crusade in the conference room, shouting and shouting and killing, and even generals who have always been steady such as Zhao Dongquan, Liu Qing, Zhan Dao, etc., also said in unison that they must first cut off the internal thieves before talking about anything else.

Yang Jie, who had been silent before, shook his head dissatisfiedly, stood up and asked directly: "Before discussing this issue, we must first distinguish the priorities and understand what is the most lethal threat to us, and then consider other issues!" It is true that the rebellion of Lu Yixuan's ministry is a great stimulus to all of us here, but does it directly threaten the survival of our Nanhua regime and army? ”

The crowd quickly fell silent, frowning in contemplation.

"Nope!"

Yang Jie asked and answered himself, and continued:

"In the final analysis, the strength of Lu Yixuan's troops is less than one-twentieth of the total strength of our army, navy and air force, and because we are stationed in the country, for the sake of secrecy, many of our new weapons and new equipment are not installed, the armed helicopter brigade of the army aviation is not equipped at all, and even the tanks equipped by the tank regiments of each division are only Leopard I.

"What is modern warfare fought? Air-to-ground synergy! Butan synergy! Infantry and artillery synergy! We have an absolutely superior air force, tank and heavy artillery firepower is far superior to our opponents, and if we really want to crusade against traitors, we can do it at any time, so why rush? On the contrary, if we do not speed up the pace of the war in the Northeast and the Far East, we will regret it when the Germans come and we lose West Asia, Central Asia, and India in one fell swoop! Judging from the present situation, we must do our best to avoid fighting on two fronts, and strive to drive the Japanese out into the sea before winter comes!

"In addition, as far as the overall international strategy is concerned, our entry into the customs at this time will inevitably trigger a full-scale civil war in China, whether it is the Nanjing side or other political forces, under our strong pressure, they will put aside their prejudices and unanimously deal with us! Although we are confident that we will win the final victory in the civil war, are we really willing to give away all the territory except China and let all the hard work of the years go down the drain? You can weigh it in your heart, which is more important? ”

When An Yi heard this, he couldn't sit still any longer, he stood up, and before he could speak, Major General Wang Zhihan, deputy director of the Communications Department of the General Staff, walked in, came straight to An Yi's side, and handed him a message.

An Yi sat down with some confusion, took the message and read it carefully, and then frowned.

The conference room was so quiet that a single needle could be heard, and everyone's eyes were focused on An Yi. After a while, An Yi handed the telegram to Zhang Chengzhu. Zhang Chengzhu read it in surprise, and handed it to Li Jinlong, and after all the generals in the room had finished reading it, An Yicai said quietly:

As expected, Chairman Jiang was responsible for Lu Yixuan's actions! This telegram is not so much a statement of the situation, asking me to open up and respect Lu Yixuan's choice, but rather an ultimatum...... Hum! It is required that we must not transfer the army into the Guannei, and North China and Shandong have their own ** to do the work on their behalf, otherwise we will be responsible for all the wars, and the harsh wording is unheard of...... I guess at this time, the media controlled by Nanjing Zhengfu is already hyping up and praising Lu Yixuan's loyal actions! ”

There was silence in the conference room, and most people were indignant, but thinking about the many entanglements of interests between Nanhua Zhengfu and Nanjing Zhengfu now, no one dared to stand up and call for a fight.

An Yi put his hands behind his back, stood up and walked around the conference table, pacing back and forth: "In the past few days, I have been thinking about whether to enter the customs to quell the rebellion...... Don't look at Lu Yixuan's power-up and strong soldiers, but how many people can really follow him with all their hearts? In addition, the signboard of An Jiajun is not only a name, it is also an honor, a faith, and a legend of indomitable and bloody struggle and never compromise!

"Over the years, our Anjia Army has mainly fought outside China's territory to expand the living space of our Chinese nation! If it is under the banner of national politics, it will inevitably fall into great passivity and unclear in diplomacy, so I simply use the name of a local Chinese warlord to fight across the border on my own, and establish a country with ** sovereignty and recognized by the great powers, so that the parties whose interests are damaged will not even have a place to find someone to protest!

"Today, our country is getting stronger and stronger, with a territory of more than 20 million square kilometers, and the population plus indigenous people and European and American immigrants from all over the world is only a little over 300 million, which is a typical vast and sparsely populated area! Now, we don't even have the energy to develop most of the areas under our control, is it really necessary to wade into this muddy water in the country?

"Fighting a war kills people, and many people will die! Fight white devils and Oriental devils, let's fight and fight, sacrifice glory, die for the interests of the country and the nation, and die as deserved, but can people have the slightest pleasure in dying on killing people? Five years ago, in the Songhu area, we successfully withstood the crazy attack of the Japanese army and saved the lives of countless people.

"In addition, I don't know if you have thought about it, when the first was besieging the Central Soviet District of the Red Army, such a big advantage was still lost to the generals, and now not only the weapons and equipment of the first have undergone a fundamental change, but the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army have also gained tremendous development from the anti-Japanese war, this battle is really so easy to fight? In this regard, at least I don't believe it, my Whampoa brothers have survived the difficult situation of the 25,000-mile Long March, and now their will to fight will inevitably be stronger, and the struggle will inevitably be more cruel! The final result will definitely be that we are stuck in the quagmire of civil war, and we can't stop! ”

Speaking of this, An Yi returned to the conference table and glanced at the generals:

"I know that people are worried about civil unrest within us these days, and it will affect many people! I don't understand what everyone is worried about, the lonely Lu Yixuan Department is a special case at all, his soldiers are all recruited in North China, and the promotion of officers depends on the top level of the group army and the Nanjing Political Fu Military and Political Department, and they only need to go back to our Syrian non-commissioned officer school afterwards to study, and we are not comparable at all!

"For so many years, people have no faith in me, in our army, and in the country we have single-handedly built? Our major group armies have a strict system of political examination and supervision, have steely discipline, and have party branches that have been established down to the company level, and the instructions of the Central Military Commission can be directly transmitted to the company and platoon level through the party organizations. If, under such circumstances, I insist on launching a large-scale purge to prove my incompetence, it would be too much to underestimate my fortitude!

"Therefore, we should not have any ideological burden, we must still do what we have done before, and we must do a better job and unswervingly carry out our predetermined battle plan! At the same time, the reserve cluster commanded by my brother-in-law, General Hu Jialin, will divide the troops into two routes after the capture of Harbin, one will go east, occupy the Mudanjiang River, recover the Sanjiang Plain, and advance eastward along the Eastern Railway to take Vladivostok in one fell swoop, and the other will go south with the First Route Army to occupy the entire territory of Jilin and Liaodong and other places, so as to speed up the process of the war in the Northeast!

"Time is not waiting for me, we must take the Northeast and the Far East in the shortest possible time, and eliminate the hidden dangers of two-front operations as soon as possible! I don't want everyone else to come in, our main forces are still stranded in the Northeast and the Far East! ”

As soon as An Yi's words fell, there was warm applause in the conference room.

If before this, all the generals were still nervous, worried that the government and the army would set off a purge campaign on a scale similar to the Soviet Union's Great Purge, then now everyone has put their hearts back in their hearts, and they no longer have to worry about the attack of open guns and arrows behind them!

From this point of view, An Yi's statement was undoubtedly a needle that suppressed the restless emotions surging within the Nanhua government and An Jiajun at once, which was conducive to concentrating all forces on the war against Japan, and was of great significance to the promotion of the entire pattern of World War II.
