Section 5 Friends III

After opening the headquarters, Neptune was a little puzzled and said, "Colonel, it's really difficult for them to rely on the war book two thousand years ago, no wonder ......." /。 Qb⑤.c0m\\”

"Listening to them, it's still the same thing," Mike shook his head in disbelief, and he suddenly asked, "Colonel, have you read this book for so long in China?" ”

"Noo," Stilwell shook his head, "but there is some truth to hearing them say, even if Clausewitz was more than a hundred years ago, his basic principles still apply, and there is a chance to look for this book." ”

After saying that, he pulled the car door and got into the car, Mike sat in the co-pilot, the translator seemed to be the driver, sat in the driver's seat, the car moved, and slowly drove out of the gate of the headquarters, the star-striped flag on the front of the car fluttering in the wind.

After walking some distance, Neptune suddenly said, "Colonel, do you think Japan will really attack the South Seas?" ”

"Unless Hitler provokes a war in Europe, in that case, there is a three-point possibility." After thinking about it, Stilwell said: "The Chinese are very difficult now, if the Japanese army attacks the South Seas, I am afraid that they will loudly applaud Japan, and then follow us ** to clean up small Japan, so they are now desperately promoting the Japanese threat, on the one hand, if such a thing really happens in the future, it can be said that they have reminded us; On the other hand, we hope to provoke our wariness against Japan and sell them more weapons and ammunition. ”

"I heard that Hitler had decided to recall the military advisory group, and some of the German advisers in Wuhan had already left." Neptune looked out the window, and there were very few pedestrians on the victory, and occasionally one of them was in a hurry.

"Of the two allies, Hitler chose Japan." Stilwell said lightly, and a hint of worry suddenly appeared in his eyes, could this have something to do with Germany's actions in Europe? Germany needed a Japanese fleet.

This sudden thought startled him, and he hurriedly looked up, and when he saw that several people had not paid attention, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at himself in his heart: "What's the matter, I was actually blinded by two Chinese." ”

"Without the support of Germany, China can only count on the Russians." Mike's tone was very regretful, he did not have a good opinion of Soviet Russia, and it was difficult for a government that always wanted to subvert other countries' regimes to gain the favor of others.

Neptune said lightly: "Do they have a choice other than Soviet Russia?" Now the whole world has abandoned the Chinese. Only Soviet Russia. Soviet russia. They had no choice but to grasp at this straw. ”

"Not exactly. They come together and have more at stake. After the Japanese occupation of Tohoku. Soviet Russia felt threatened. Two countries have come together. Soviet Russia wanted to use the Chinese to weaken the Japanese. So he was not destined to sit idly by and watch Japan annex China. Stilwell said disapprovingly. Chiang Kai-shek fought for ten years. In the end, we have to tide over the difficulties. If only the United States of America had come to the rescue at this time. Chiang Kai-shek must have been busy seizing it.

China and Russia signed an aviation agreement in February. It's an open agreement. There were even rumors in diplomatic circles that China and the Soviet Union had signed a series of secret agreements. But these agreements are still legends. I didn't see the announcement from both sides. But with the usual practice in the diplomatic community. Such an agreement may exist.

Return to the hostel. Stilwell began to write a report to the president. He first wrote down today's conversation with Zhuang Jihua and Li Zongren. And then talk about his own opinion: "...

I noticed one detail. When the staff officer came in to report the landing of the Japanese army in Qingdao. The two generals, Zhuang Jihua and Li Zongren, were not at all surprised. As if it should have been. But as far as I know. There are not many troops in the Jiaodong area. There are only a few security regiments. This type of security group is similar to the militia in the United States.

Zhuang Jihua surprised me very much. He made me feel the charm of China's ancient civilization again. He used ancient Chinese military books to analyze the Sino-Japanese war today. I was amazed by this move. General Zhuang Jihua had a very high Western education. But he still has full confidence in China's ancient civilization. Reminiscent of recent moves in various places. I think it's a hard people to conquer. They will not submit to the Japanese army. Even if there are people in the central government who want peace talks. But they did not dare to openly disobey the will of the people.

For thousands of years, this land has been full of wars, and the streets of Xuzhou are deserted, and many residents have joined the front team, they use shoulders, wooden carts, horse-drawn carts, and ox carts to transport supplies to the front line, and the long flow of people is endless. Although Nanjing was lost, the resistance of the Chinese was not extinguished, but became more vigorous. ”

After Stilwell finished writing, he read it again, and after thinking about it, he couldn't decide whether to write about the bet between him and Zhuang Jihua, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to write it down.

From this I have a judgment that Hitler decided to recall the military advisory group in China and choose Japan among the two allies because he needed the Japanese fleet, and he was preparing for war.

Mr. President, the Versailles system has collapsed and the world is moving towards a new one, and the United States of America should seize this opportunity to establish a leading position in the world. ”

Stilwell looked at it, he didn't know if it was appropriate to write like this, there were too many personal subjective judgments, and after thinking about it, he decided that this was the case.

If a diplomat changes to a career, he will definitely not write these things, which is completely inconsistent with the State Department's reporting rules, and report some subjective and one-sided things, things without any evidence, and even if they want to write, they should also list the analysis in a separate report.

Stilwell has always been a soldier, even if he wears the coat of a diplomat, he is still a soldier at heart.

In the evening, the Theater Command issued official news that the Japanese army had landed in Qingdao and Yantai, and that Yantai and Qingdao had been lost.

However, Stilwell received the news that the Japanese troops who landed in Qingdao basically took Qingdao without a single shot, and there were only 500 Chinese marines in Qingdao City, led by Mayor Shen Honglie, who abandoned Qingdao without a fight and retreated to the county; The 16th Division of Japanese Drama that landed in Yantai basically occupied Yantai without firing a single shot, and the more than 800 local security regiments also abandoned the city and fled under the leadership of the regiment commander.

In the later stage of the defense of Nanjing, only Mei Youlan and Weber were left in the city of Nanjing, so the later reports of the major newspapers relied on reprinting the articles of the "Yuzhou Evening News", and now the editors-in-chief of the newspapers decided to change this situation.

Every night, after writing their reports, the reporters drank tea and coffee in the hall, exchanging news with each other and expressing their views on the battle situation.

"Lao Wang, in my opinion, I'm afraid that the Jiaodong Peninsula can't hold it, it is said that Jiaodong does not even have a miscellaneous division, only part of the security regiment remains. Isn't this a deliberate abandonment of Jiaodong? ”

"Actually, it's fortunate to give up Jiaodong, otherwise the Japanese army in Yantai would not have been attacked by the north and south. Brother Zihuan, General Zhuang can win the battle in Nanjing, and this time he can also defeat Little Japan

"I heard a staff officer say that Shen Honglie did not retreat to Jinan, but went up to Mengshan Mountain to prepare for guerrilla warfare."

"I heard that the county was fighting fiercely, the 92nd Army and the 46th Army suffered heavy losses, and the 21st Group Army went up for reinforcements. This news was told to me by the cronies of the chief of the Operations Section, and it absolutely cannot be faked. ”

"Why hasn't the Japanese army moved on the other side of the Yellow River? It is said that there were about four divisions. ”

"Alas, this battle is difficult to fight, and the total strength is close to 300,000, which has exceeded the total strength of the Nanjing Campaign."

The reporters chatted in the hall, and gradually the topic focused on the dynamics of the Japanese army, worried that the Japanese army had a large number of troops, and the total strength of the five theaters was now about 500,000, and such a force was not advantageous compared with the 300,000 Japanese army.

Mei Youlan is the star in this group of records, her news is often the fastest and most accurate, which makes this group of people envious and jealous, but no one can help it, they have already inquired clearly without the details of the man, Song Meiling's niece, Deputy Commander Zhuang's sister, these two identities are placed there, except for Li Zongren in the Fifth War Zone, who dares not to sell the account. In addition, Mei Youlan herself is also angry, and Shanghai's series of analyses on the Nine-Power Convention finally proved that her analysis was completely correct, which made her reputation even more famous, and there was a faint tendency to stand shoulder to shoulder with famous people like Zhang Youluan.

"Miss Mei, what's the news today?"

As soon as Mei Youlan appeared in the hall, a group of people immediately came around, Mei Youlan shook her head slightly, greeted her peers with a smile, after years of experience, she has fully matured, although her peers are enemies, they can also be friends, so generally after he finishes writing the report, he will tell them the news, of course, the most secret news belongs to her exclusive.

But today there really isn't, there's no news; She came to the hall for coffee because she felt a little stuffy in the room. Lian Xiaosen doesn't like to talk much, and they can't talk together.

"Mr. Weber, you didn't go to Jiawang?" Mei Youlan was a little surprised to see Weber sitting on the side chatting with the two of them, Yingmei Ji went to Jia Wang this afternoon to interview Yang Sen, the commander of the 24th Group Army stationed there, but he didn't expect Weber to go.

"I interviewed him in Nanjing, and it's been quiet there lately, so I don't think there's any news." Weber said calmly, Weber regretted a little in his heart, he wanted to go to Jinan when he first arrived in Xuzhou, he estimated that if the Japanese army attacked on the northern front, it would be Jinan, so that he could get first-hand information, but he didn't expect to be delayed in Xuzhou, and all the trains from Xuzhou to Jinan were stopped.

"Miss Mei, I heard that the 21st Group Army has gone to support the county, is that so?" Sitting next to Weber was a somewhat blessed Chinese, Mei Youlan did not know him, but his accent was Hunanese; When the man saw Mei Youlan looking at him, he took out a business card from his body: "Contemptible person, Chujiang Daily Battlefield Chronicle Xu Jimin." ”

Chujiang Daily is a big newspaper in Wuhan, and Mei Youlan knows their editor-in-chief, but she doesn't know this Xu Jimin. Mei Youlan stretched out her hand to take the business card, and then took out a business card from Kun's bag and handed it to him, Xu Jimin hurriedly reached out to take it, Mei Youlan shook her head and said: "I didn't get any news about this, but I thought this news might be misinformation." ”

A lot of the news in the hall is gossip, and the notes are hearsay, and the good ones need to be verified, and the bad ones will be wrong, and they will go back after making up a random report.

"Mei," Weber gently stirred the small spoon with the coffee cup, Mei Youlan was one of the few people he could afford to remember, the Xu Jimin in front of him was made up by himself, and he was bored, just chatting with him without a match, he was a little disgusted with these notes of asking for news everywhere: "Don't you think it's a little strange?" ”

"What's weird?" Mei Youlan looked at Weber in confusion, not understanding what he was talking about.

"The Japanese troops on the southern front and Jiaodong fought fiercely, why didn't the Japanese troops on the northern front move?" Weber suddenly muttered in English, but his eyes looked out the window at the distant night sky in the north, his brows were tightly locked, he was very regretful now, why didn't he go to Jinan?

Mei Youlan's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again. She remembered what Zhuang Jihua said, Han Fu wanted to escape, and vaguely heard that Han Fu was negotiating with the Japanese side and trying to neutralize Shandong, she originally wanted to expose it in the newspaper, but there was no evidence, and she didn't dare to report such news easily.

"May, what do you know?" Weber was very alert, he noticed the change in Mei Youlan's gaze, and immediately understood that she must know something, even if it was not Japanese, it was probably Chinese.

Mei Youlan shook her head: "I'm thinking about this problem, maybe the little devil is in some trouble." ”

"Hell," Webb exclaimed with some anxiety, "you know, it's definitely not like that, there's definitely something going on here, what the hell is it?" ”

"Webb, you have too many questions and too many questions." Mei Youlan tried her best to hide her worries, but she admired Weber's professional sensitivity, how this guy practiced.

"No, Mei, you can't fool me," Webb shook his head, put the coffee on the coffee table in front of him, raised his ** and sat opposite Mei Youlan, lowered his head and shot Mei Youlan in the eyes: "Tell me, what is born there?" ”

Mei Youlan still shook her head, she vaguely felt that the Japanese army's failure to take action was related to Han Fu, and it was possible that they were waiting for the results of negotiations with Han Fu.

Webber didn't say anything anymore, just stared at Mei Youlan fiercely, Lian Xiaosen couldn't help but lean over, he was afraid that Webber would make something inappropriate under the excitement, his eyes were firmly fixed on Weber, as long as he moved, he would throw him out of the hotel.

Webb suddenly smiled: "In less than two days, everything will be understood, even if you tell me now, the report will come out in a few days." ”

Xu Jimin also pricked up his ears to hear what they had to say, but Weber's conversation with Mei Youlan was in English, which he couldn't understand.

"Then we'll talk about it when everything comes out." Mei Youlan shook her head resolutely and said.

Weber understood and understood, and it was clear that Mei Youlan must know something, but he didn't know why he didn't want to say it or report it, so it must be a major matter, and it was related to the high-level, and he felt very sorry in his heart.

"The latest battle report, the Japanese army on the northern front forcibly crossed the Yellow River in three ways, and the Third Army abandoned Jinan without a fight and retreated to Tai'an." A note suddenly rushed in and shouted angrily.

Webber perked up, and he shouted from Mei Youlan: "Isn't it, that's the reason? ”

Mei Youlan didn't seem to hear Weber's words, but just stared blankly at the angry reporters in the hall.
