Ma Zheng has already had a case for the handling of those naval vessels, and it must be handed over to the Nationalist Government, for the simple reason that the Nationalist Government needs such a naval fleet now and even in the near future. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As everyone knows, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan intensified its blockade of China, and even did not hesitate to launch a war of aggression against Burma in order to cut off the Yunnan-Burma highway. By that time, if the Nationalist government did not have a sufficiently strong navy in its hands, it would probably have been as passive as it had historically been, and would have had to open up dangerous hump routes to transport supplies.
Ma Zheng also thought about forming a naval unit subordinate to the Eighth Route Army, but this idea was extinguished by Ma Zheng after thinking about it. The navy is certainly attractive, but as the bigwigs in Yan'an considered, the navy is a fairly professional branch of the military, so it is far more difficult to form a navy than the army.
If it is said that the formation of an army requires people and weapons to be able to train a basic appearance, then if the navy does not have enough professional personnel and historical background, even if it gives you people and warships, you don't want to form combat effectiveness.
Although Ma Zheng now has Huyan soldiers and hundreds of former naval soldiers under his command, it is impossible to rely on these people to control so many ships.
More importantly, the navy needs a suitable port, and without a port warship is equivalent to no birds and no nests, and one day they will die of exhaustion. In addition, warships also need to be returned to port for maintenance and replenishment, and there is no suitable harbor to talk about.
Of course, there are also financial considerations. Although the Huaxia Company has made a lot of money in the United States and has indeed made a lot of money, because Ma Zheng has given Li Lanqing a very heavy task and the stall is large enough, in addition to showing its strength in the field of biopharmaceuticals, Huaxia Company is also involved in oil mines and other fields.
In addition, Huaxia Company has also acquired a large number of hospitals, factories, arsenals, etc., and it has to continue to transfuse blood into China, so the funds earned in the early stage have basically been spent, and it is unrealistic to use Huaxia Company to maintain a naval fleet.
However, he still has a useful use for these warships, and he still needs these warships to transport what he needs back to Shandong, and as long as this matter is completed, these warships can be handed over to the Nationalist Government. Of course, as for how to hand it over, it depends on the above negotiations, and he does not intend to interfere.
In fact, since Ma Zheng's headquarters last launched an attack on the Japanese army in the direction of Xinkou, Chongqing has been very concerned about this matter, and Lao Jiang originally thought that the military operation of the Eighth Route Army would end after the capture of Taiyuan. Moreover, according to the intelligence collected by the Military Command Bureau, the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy losses in the last major battle, with at least 50,000 casualties at each station, which made Lao Jiang quite happy.
And because of the battle not long ago, Lao Jiang did have a good time, and almost did not use his central army to recover Taiyuan, Xinkou and other places, and even captured such a military town and strategic point as Shimen, and by the way, he also severely weakened the strength of his old opponent Eighth Route Army.
The loss of 50,000 people was nothing to the Nationalist Government, after all, the National Revolutionary Army had more than 2 million. But for the Eighth Route Army, it was different, thinking that when the Eighth Route Army was reorganized, there were only a few people, and the three divisions combined were more than 40,000 people, and this time they lost 50,000 people at once, which must be the pain of digging out the flesh and bones, thinking of this, Lao Jiang was both complacent and happy.
But I didn't expect that only a month later, the Eighth Route Army once again took the initiative to launch an attack on the Japanese army, and this time the results were even more shocking.
The news that came back from the Military Unification Bureau in the early hours of this morning completely shook the entire Chongqing camp, that the Eighth Route Army had actually captured Qingdao, Shandong, and that tens of thousands of troops were besieging Beiping City, and that the headquarters of the North China Front Army was in danger and could be broken by Ma Zheng's headquarters of the Eighth Route Army at any time.
The whole government is the glasses and dentures that have fallen off the ground, whether it is Lao Jiang, Dai Li, or this and that minister, they are completely speechless. Obviously, everyone understands the fact that they seriously underestimated the strength of Ma Zheng and the Eighth Route Army, and even underestimated the courage of Ma Zheng, a young general who was only 29 years old.
Although Lao Jiang and the others almost didn't sleep all night, everyone including Lao Jiang had no intention of going to sleep, they were all waiting for news from the direction of Beiping, if Ma Zheng's troops could break through Beiping City today, this would definitely be China's biggest victory since the start of the war.
What's more, the new commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun, is also in Beiping City, and it would be even more exciting if Tada Jun could be captured alive, and perhaps it could change the situation of the war between China and Japan.
In the study, all the senior officers of the Nationalist Government sat silently, and the old man sat upright on a chair with a solemn look on his face. And Lao Jiang's old monk-like expression made everyone present feel quite depressed, because everyone couldn't tell whether his old man was happy or unhappy.
"Yunong, how is the situation in Beiping, is the city broken?" The old man asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the commission, not yet."
"Oh, didn't you say that there were only a few thousand Japanese troops in Beiping City, couldn't the tens of thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army even capture the city defended by a few thousand people?" The old man asked disappointedly.
"Back to the commission, there are indeed only a few thousand Japanese regular troops in Beiping City, but there are still 4,000 puppet troops. However, more than half of these troops had already suffered casualties two hours ago, and the Eighth Route Army had made great efforts to attack Beiping City, and even got more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 150mm from somewhere, and the Japanese troops defending the city suffered heavy casualties. Dai replied.
"Oh, are you saying that the Eighth Route Army has heavy artillery, and there are more than a dozen?" Lao Jiang asked in surprise.
"Back to the commission, it is indeed a heavy artillery, and the model should be a Japanese-made 150mm heavy cannon!"
"How can the Eighth Route Army have such large-caliber artillery?" Lao Jiang asked with a frown.
"It should have been captured some time ago, some time ago, a heavy artillery wing of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi was annihilated on the periphery of Taiyuan, and there was no news after that, it seems that these weapons and equipment were obtained by the Eighth Route Army." Dai replied.
"Since the Eighth Route Army has even come out with heavy artillery, how can the Japanese still hold on, and their thousands of people are too hard-beaten!" Old Jiang Dao.
Dai Li immediately said: "Go back to the commission, this is because the Eighth Route Army forced Tada Jun to use a desperate plan!" ”
"Desperate?" Lao Jiang obviously didn't quite understand the meaning, and hurriedly asked.
Dai Li seemed to feel a little emotional, and then said: "Tada Jun, that old devil is really ruthless, he actually organized all the Japanese overseas Chinese in Beiping City, and issued weapons and equipment, and then all pulled up to the city to resist the attack of Ma Zheng's troops. ”
"This Tada Jun is indeed a terrible enemy, not only ruthless to the enemy, but even more ruthless to his own people. It seems that it is really not a simple matter for Ma Zheng's subordinates to break through Beiping City. Lao Jiang sighed and said.
"There is another unfavorable situation. According to the news sent by the Tianjin station, a few hours ago, a brigade of the Japanese army stationed in Tianjin had gone north to reinforce Beiping, and now it was fighting with a unit of Ma Zheng's headquarters in the Qingyundian area, and both sides were damaged. Dai Lian said again.
General Chen Cheng, the Minister of National Defense, who has not spoken, said: "This Ma Zheng is indeed a talent, the Eighth Route Army has just captured Qingdao, and it will inevitably become the target of the Japanese army's key strikes. And it did hit the waist of the little devil, if you want to keep Beiping City, Duotian Jun must concentrate his forces to defend Beiping, but I don't know if I will be in a hurry. ”
"No matter how good the talent is, if it is not used by the party and the state, it will not work in the end!" Lao Jiang said regretfully.
Lao Jiang's words made the entire study all silent, Lao Jiang's thoughts are clear to everyone, he can't have a better time than the Eighth Route Army, and the best way to deal with it at this time is to be silent.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of "kicking, kicking", which woke up a group of bigwigs in the study. (To be continued.) )
