Section 5 The Stalinist Attack XIV
After drinking two glasses, a flush appeared on Situ Leiden's face, he looked at Zhuang Jihua and said, "General Zhuang, I didn't have any plans to come to Dexian County, but Professor Liang Sicheng came to me and hoped that I would come to meet you, and I hope to get your consent for some questions." //γοΌ±Πβ€γCoΠ\\β
Zhuang Jihua was a little puzzled, he respected Liang Sicheng very much, and asked himself without any slackness, if there are any problems, you can talk to him directly, why do you want to go to Situ Leiden to come forward? He looked at Liang Sicheng, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Not only Zhuang Jihua was puzzled, but even Xu Zuyi was a little surprised, he also looked at Zhuang Jihua and Liang Sicheng, thinking in his heart if Zhuang Jihua had changed his mind and decided to use large-caliber artillery in the attack on Beiping.
"That's the case," Liang Sicheng saw a little dissatisfaction in Zhuang Jihua's eyes, and hurriedly explained: "The war has developed to the present, and it has become possible to attack the Japanese mainland, and it is possible to repair airports in Shandong and bomb Japan in May and June, but I think that after two thousand years of development, Japan also has many ancient buildings, and these things have been left after thousands of years of development, and they no longer belong to the Japanese, but to all mankind, Commander Zhuang, I ask you to give an order to avoid bombing these crystallization of human civilization when bombing Japan." β
Xu Zuyi couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't expect that Liang Sicheng would move Situ Leiden out for this reason. He looked at Zhuang Jihua and then at Stilwell, Zhuang Jihua's expression calmed down at the moment, but Stilwell's face swelled with dark clouds, feeling incomprehensible, in his opinion, war should be done to the extreme, not to be restrained, let alone the enemy's things.
Zhuang Jihua didn't answer immediately, Xu Zuyi smiled in his heart, Zhuang Jihua originally planned to exchange the Japanese monument with Okamura Ningji, there should be no problem, but now it is estimated that it will be sold.
"General Zhuang, General Stilwell, General Xu, I agree with Mr. Liang's opinion, the development of human beings to the present is the accumulation of the wisdom of countless predecessors, and I can't destroy these precious things because of a momentary need, because they are non-renewable, and if they are destroyed, there will be no more." Situ Leiden looked at Zhuang Jihua and Stilwell solemnly, expecting them to show their attitude.
Stilwell frowned, he had heard Li May talk about the bombing of Italy, the birthplace of the Renaissance that broke through the darkness of the Middle Ages, the birthplace of modern thought, and the reckless bombing of Florence and Rome by the Allied air forces, these historical cities, how to save those crystallization of wisdom is the business of the Italians.
"Mr. Stuart Leiden, the bombing of Japan was from the air, and at the initial stage it was a night bombing, and there was no guarantee that the bombs would fall there, and the pilots did not know about it." For the sake of Stuart's face, Stilwell's tone was more polite.
"As long as it's planned, anything can happen." Situ Leiden did not budge, but his tone was a little loose.
"I already have some plans for the bombing of Japan," Zhuang Jihua said at this time, he looked at Liang Sicheng and Situ Leiden, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, I am preparing to make a deal with Okamura Ningji. β
Liang Sicheng Situ Leiden and Stilwell couldn't help but be a little curious, and wondered, what kind of deal? Xu Zuyi looked at Zhuang Jihua and shook his head slightly in his heart, this Zhuang Jihua really dared to say anything, and the military plan was actually said like this.
Zhuang Jihua looked at the three of them, and then said: "We must go in Beiping, but Okamura Ningji still has about 30,000 to 40,000 troops in his hands, and if he enters, many ancient relics will be damaged more or less, so I plan to make a deal with Okamura Ningji, what kind of deal is it?" He went out of the city and surrendered, and I, ordered, that when I bombed Japan, I would not bomb the Japanese Imperial Palace, and I would not bomb the ancient buildings of Japan. Of course, Mr. Liang Sicheng, I would like to ask you to make a map to mark the ancient buildings. β
There was silence at the dinner table, Liang Sicheng's idea was very simple, he immediately agreed, but Stilwell was a soldier, and he felt a little inappropriate to know more about Japanese soldiers.
"General Zhuang, there are a few problems with this," Stilwell's attitude was still very stubborn when he first arrived in the North China Theater, but after Brian had a long talk with him, his attitude began to change, especially to Zhuang Jihua, he understood that he could not make Zhuang Jihua give in by being tough alone.
"First of all, what if Okamura doesn't agree to this deal?" Stilwell stared at Zhuang Jihua and asked, "Secondly, technically, this is very difficult to achieve. β
"You're right," Zhuang Jihua put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Stilwell calmly: "For the first question, I think it's possible, Okamura Ningji is a very flexible person, he has the shadow of a politician, so as long as he is given steps, he will not be burned." The second point is difficult, which is indeed very technically difficult, which limits the weapons we use. β
Situ Leiden and Liang Sicheng didn't think about it, Zhuang Jihua was talking about restricted weapons, Xu Zuyi knew that the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense had successfully developed napalm, but this kind of bomb has been restricted, and there are two reasons, one is that the output is low, China is not an oil-producing country, and all the gasoline comes from imports, which limits production; Second, the lethality of this munition is so strong that Zhuang Jihua defines it as a weapon of mass destruction, and once used in a Chinese city, with the fire-fighting capabilities of a Chinese city, even if the entire city is burned down, it will not be able to extinguish the raging fire. Therefore, Zhuang Jihua persuaded Chiang Kai-shek that it was not allowed to be used in China.
The use of napalm in Japan was Zhuang Jihua's original plan, but if Japan's monuments were to be protected, some cities would not be able to use them, which was a very troublesome matter.
"Is there really no way to deal with technical problems?" Situ Leiden thought for a moment and asked.
"This needs to be discussed with General Li Mei Gao Zhihang to see what he can do." Zhuang Jihua admitted that this problem was very difficult, he had no way, and also implied that Stilwell also had no way, only Li Mei and Gao Zhihang had a way.
From a military point of view, the Japanese army in the Pingjin area has fallen into a desperate situation, there is no rescue outside, no food and grass inside, surrounded by dozens of times the number of troops, there is no hope of breaking through, in exchange for American generals, surrender is the only choice, but what choice the Japanese soldiers will make, he really does not know.
The war has developed to the present, from Guangde to Burma and then to North China, the Japanese have fought several defeats, and the losses of hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been lost, but whether it is the jungle of Burma or the mountainous area of northern Hubei, the Japanese troops have not surrendered in formation, and most of the troops have fought to the last man with a shot, Stilwell is most impressed by the first battle of northern Burma, the 56th Division has no rear interspersed operations, after the failure of the troops' attack, a small number of stragglers fled into the jungle, but they still insist on fighting.
"Perhaps, Okamura Ninji is different from other Japanese." Stilwell thought to himself.
"If Okamura Ninji can surrender, it will also start the history of the Japanese army." Xu Zuyi sighed: "If this thing is done, the blow to the morale of the Japanese army will be unprecedented, and the casualties of the troops will be much smaller in the future." β
Stilwell's eyes lit up, the Japanese army was very tenacious, and the reason was education, if they realized that what they had enshrined as a canon was nothing more than a bunch of lies, the Japanese soldiers' will to fight would quickly collapse, and it would have an extraordinary effect in future battles, and this was even more important to destroy the 100,000 Japanese army.
Zhuang Jihua struck while the iron was hot, and immediately asked Liang Sicheng to mark the places of interest in Japan, such as the Imperial Palace, Tang Zhaoti Temple, Nara Todai Temple, etc., all marked on the map of Japan in one of the five millionths.
In the end, Zhuang Jihua said to Situ Leiden: "After conquering Tianjin, I will negotiate with Okamura Ningji, I want to invite Mr. to participate, I don't know if Mr. is willing?" β
Situ Leiden didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to make such a request, so after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and agreed. This most important thing was solved, and there was nothing else, Zhuang Jihua poured wine for everyone again, and several people chatted about the war process with great interest.
"From the current point of view, we can launch an offensive to the northeast at the end of May or early June," Stilwell's face flushed slightly: "If the Soviets can attack from the north at this time, the Japanese army will quickly collapse." β
As soon as Stilwell's words fell, Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "The main combat force of the Soviet army is on the Soviet-German battlefield, and after our army annihilates the main force of the Japanese army, the Soviet army will launch a limited offensive, and I am more worried about the territorial claims of Soviet Russia to our country, like the Xinjiang rebellion, Soviet Russia supports national separatists behind the scenes, frankly speaking, without Soviet Russia, we can also defeat Japan." β
Xu Zuyi nodded approvingly: "We don't believe them." β
Zhuang Jihua agreed to protect the ancient Japanese buildings, which made Liang Sicheng very encouraged, and in a happy mood, he also talked about his opinion: "I don't understand politics and military affairs, I heard that the government is sending troops from the front line of the Anti-Japanese War to Xinjiang, General Zhuang, will this affect the war against Japan?" β
Zhuang Jihua smiled proudly: "Absolutely not, although the Xinjiang rebellion is supported by Soviet Russia in the back, it is impossible for Soviet Russia to transfer heavy troops into Xinjiang, military advisers and a small number of enemy troops are possible, but the main force is impossible, two or three thousand people are broken into the sky, and the main force is still the ethnic separatists in Xinjiang." β
"But, after all, they are our own compatriots, wouldn't it be better to settle them through negotiations?" Liang Sicheng unconsciously used a questioning tone.
"Otherwise, the rebels in Xinjiang raised the banner of the Republic of East Turkestan, but then they changed it to something that resisted tyranny." Zhuang Jihua snorted contemptuously: "The reason why they made such an adjustment is just because the Nationalist Government has a resolute attitude, Stalin found that the Nationalist Government is not so easy to succumb, and resolutely draws troops from the front line to quell the rebellion. β
"I can't think that these rebels are our compatriots, just like Wang Jingwei Puyi, who acted as accomplices of foreign forces in their aggression against China, betrayed the entire nation, and without negotiation with them, they must be sent to the judgment seat of the nation."
Zhuang Jihua's tone was very resolute, without the slightest room for negotiation, completely to Liang Sicheng's surprise, he frowned slightly and said, "But don't you advocate cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?" Isn't it the same GCISM? β
"These are two different things," Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, these professors, how can they be so naΓ―ve politically, he patiently explained: "I have dealings with many GCD people, so I know something about them, they are not betraying the country, his ultimate goal is to save the country, we Kuomintang people believe in the Three People's Doctrine, believe that the Three People's Doctrine can save China, GCD people believe that GC Doctrine can save China, whether they believe in the Three People's Doctrine or GC Doctrine, it is based on the purpose of saving China, So we have a basis for cooperation, and the differences and contradictions between us can be resolved through negotiations, but this article is not suitable for the rebels in Xinjiang, they are not here to save China, but to split China, and now their banner is just to put on a beautiful coat for themselves. β
After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he looked at Liang Sicheng with blazing eyes, he knew that Liang Sicheng's ideas represented many intellectuals in the rear, and he wanted to use Liang Sicheng's mouth today to tell these neutral intellectuals that there was no room for negotiation on the Xinjiang issue.
Zhuang Jihua's remarks made Stuart and Stilwell think deeply, and Stilwell knew better what these Chinese intellectuals thought, and during his years as president of Yenching University, he did not approve of students participating in politics as other schools do.
After 918, the students of the major colleges and universities in Peking took to the streets, and when he returned from the United States, the first thing he did when he entered the school was to ask the students of Yenching University whether they had marched on the streets, and only after receiving a positive answer did he breathe a sigh of relief, and he told the teachers of the school that if the students of Yenching University did not march on the streets, it meant that their education was a failure. Since then, he has participated in protests held by students at Yenching University and has been at the forefront of the procession.
After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, many students from Yenching University went to Jizhong, Pingxi, Jinchaji, Jire anti-Japanese base areas, and Yan'an, and the school's teachers secretly supported the students' anti-Japanese activities.
"I don't like GCISM," Stuart said, "but I agree with General Zhuang's view on **, General Zhuang, although I am an American, I think I am Chinese, I love this country, I love this nation, I think China's future should be to follow the path of peaceful and democratic development, completely eliminate war, and stop breaking out because of political differences." β
In his previous life, Situ Leiden was completely discredited because of an article by a political leader, the Yenching University he founded was dismantled and merged, and he himself was not corrected until the nineties, and his ashes returned to China according to his last wish before he came to this world.
This is the most sincere friend of the Chinese people who love China wholeheartedly!
