Chapter 274: A Visit to Comers
One after another, planes landed at Qinhuangdao Airport, filled up with fuel, and set off again.
In this battle, although the Black God Army lost thirty-seven aircraft, the battle loss ratio of the aircraft was roughly three to one, and the battle loss ratio of the pilots was even higher.
Of the 37 aircraft lost, 21 were shot down over the airspace between Chengde and Jinzhou.
After destroying all the devil planes, the Black God Army had absolute air supremacy, and there was plenty of time for the people who had already been ambushed in the local area to find all the pilots who had landed and transfer them out safely.
Beiping, Tianjin, Taiyuan...... People are going crazy.
The great victory of the Black God Army has given hope to many people.
As long as Shanghai can withstand it, then there will be no problem in North China, which is why people will be so crazy.
-- The political, economic, and cultural center of North China is no longer Beiping, and feng shui is now his Taiyuan.
This alone could make Commander Yan smile crookedly.
Shortly after the Battle of Shanghai began, on 7 October, the Nationalist Political Axe convened a national defense conference in Nanjing, at which it was decided to set up a base camp for the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, with Chiang Kai-shek as the generalissimo of the army, navy, and air force.
The national general plan is divided into five major theaters, with Hebei Province and the northern part of Shandong Province being the first theater, with Song Zheyuan as the commander, and Shanxi, Chahar, and Suiyuan provinces as the second theater, and the commander is naturally Yan Xishan.
Yan Xishan is beautiful now, very beautiful.
Just because he was so hot here, Lao Jiang sent Wei Lihuang over and established the 14th Group Army.
The 14th Group Army had five armies, namely Hu Zongnan's First Army, Zheng Menglin's Ninth Army, Liu Maoen's 15th Army, Li Mo'an's 14th Army, and Chen Changjie's 61st Army.
Most of these five armies are descendants of Lao Jiang, and Hu Zongnan is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven.
Now, although his territory has been occupied by the Black God Army, the Central Army, the Northwest Army and [***], but in extraordinary times, the more people gathered in him, the better, and the best thing is that these people check and balance each other, and his status as the boss of Shanxi is not as good as Mount Tai, without a little problem.
Tonight is a grand celebration reception for the air heroes of the Black God Army from all walks of life in Taiyuan, no, to be precise, it should be all walks of life in North China.
At the cocktail party, the beauties were like clouds.
With the exception of celebrities and ladies, most of the beauties are special guests invited from various universities.
Today, all the pilots who were not injured and, of course, those on duty, all the others came.
Before coming, Han Lihong personally lectured, he told the boys that they would have fun when they had the opportunity, except for one point, not a word about the base, and if anyone asked about the base, they must report it immediately.
These young men, whether they are handsome or not, in the eyes of beautiful women, they are all golden, and their attractiveness is definitely at the pot lid level.
The attraction reached the pot lid level, not only because of the aura of heroes on their bodies, but also because under Han Lihong's advocacy, they were all trained to be wolves, lone wolves.
A wolf-like man, a wolf-like hero, is naturally full of mysterious charm, which is extraordinary for a woman of any age.
Han Lihong's identity is no longer a secret to the higher-ups, but to others, few people still know his identity.
Han Lihong didn't like such occasions, to be precise, he didn't like to be eye-catching, which was a habit he had developed in his previous life.
This is not only related to his profession, but also due to his own surname.
Han Lihong and Yanzi stood in front of the fence on the second floor, both holding a glass of Yin Hong's thick wine in their hands.
Tonight, not only the swallows and goblins came, but Liang Ye, Bai Yan, and Shen Juan also came.
Fairies like to be lively, they have already gone down, Liang Ye is curious about this kind of occasion, not to mention Bai Yan and Shen Juan, they are also running around to see the freshness.
Over the years, the gangsterism of these three eldest sisters has not disappeared much, so they have naturally become beauties with an unusually unique temperament, which is extremely attractive to men.
However, fortunately, as long as the eyes of the three eldest sisters widened, the effect was immediate.
In a word, the gods abdicated.
On this occasion tonight, even arrogant people don't dare to make mistakes, especially for people they don't know.
The Prime Minister is also there.
Since Han Lihong started running Shanxi, the prime minister has been based in Taiyuan.
For [***], Taiyuan has become more important than anywhere else, surpassing the Nanjing political axe.
After the National Defense Military Conference, the first part of the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, and the other part was reorganized into the New Fourth Army.
The Eighth Route Army nominally had three divisions, with a total of 45,000 men including the headquarters, but in fact, under the command of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the total strength of the troops had reached 150,000, and it was developing rapidly.
Needless to say, with the help of Han Lihong, the two provinces of Jicha have developed into a large-scale revolutionary base area on both sides of the Taihang Mountains and at the junction of Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan.
Moreover, this is not a revolutionary base in the ordinary sense, with the help of the Black God Army, a hydroelectric power station has been built in the base area, and many factories have been set up, among which the most important is the munitions industrial system.
The development of large-scale industry in Yan'an is extremely limited and cannot be developed at all, but in the vast areas of southern Shanxi, southwestern Shandong, and northern Henan, these problems do not exist at all.
These places are poor mountains and bad waters for others, but for [***], they are blessed and blessed.
Now, it is quite foreseeable that in the near future [***] will be able to meet its own needs for weapons.
Of course, this is only for [***], which is mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare at this stage.
Han Lihong's eyes have been following the prime minister, he is really envious, the prime minister's demeanor is really the best in the world, unparalleled in the world.
"Sister, have you ever liked Mr. Zhou?" Han Lihong asked.
Knowing that Han Lihong had no worldly meaning, he pondered for a while, and Yanzi said: "Sir is a sage, I only have reverence for Mr., and I can't enjoy the slightest affection between men and women." β
Han Lihong said: "That's blasphemy against Mr. β
Swallow nodded.
At this time, the prime minister walked upstairs, and Han Lihong and Yanzi hurriedly greeted him.
At the top of the stairs, the prime minister walked up and asked, "Why don't you go down to play?" β
To him, the prime minister's tone is the same as that of Yanzi, he is regarded as a junior, which makes Han Lihong feel very comfortable, and he said with a smile: "I like to watch from the sidelines, but I don't like to get involved." β
"It's not like the mentality of young people. β
While talking, they sat down at a table, and at this time, Han Lihong suddenly thought of something, and said, "Sir, did you send some people over to learn how to fly an airplane?" β
After a moment of silence, the prime minister said, "Okay." β
Han Lihong knew why the Prime Minister was silent, with the help of the Black God Army to [***], the two families were one family, and they could completely separate each other, so why didn't Han Lihong join [***]?
In this way, there is no need to send someone to learn to fly.
Han Lihong is willing to fulfill any wish of the prime minister, even if he is broken, but this matter cannot be accomplished, and he still has a greater mission to complete.
At this moment, Yanzi poured a glass of wine for the prime minister and said, "Sir, you drink." β
Prime Minister is massive, drinking this wine is like drinking cold water.
He took a sip of his glass, and then, looking at the swallows, the prime minister smiled and asked, "Aren't you going to have a wedding?" β
The prime minister asked this, and the swallow's face turned red.
Han Lihong said with a smile: "Yes, you will definitely have to be the officiant at that time." β
The Prime Minister smiled and nodded.
At this time, Yan Xishan, Song Zheyuan and Wei Lihuang walked over.
All three stood up.
Yan Xishan said: "It's not enjoyable, it's not enjoyable, it's still my dried radish strips dipped in old vinegar." β
Everyone laughed.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Han Lihong said to Yan Xishan, "Chief Yan, the arsenal has to be moved immediately. β
Han Lihong has always suggested that Yan Xishan move the arsenal and other important factories to a safe place as soon as possible, but because the relocation loss is too great, Yan Xishan has been dragging it out.
Now that the planes of the North China Dispatch Army have been wiped out, he doesn't want to move even more.
Wei Lihuang asked: "Mr. Han, the Shanghai side is playing very well, do you think the situation will change?" β
Sighing slightly, Han Lihong said: "The North China army has suffered another heavy blow, although this will greatly boost the morale of our army and people, but at the same time, it will also increase the pressure on them. β
Yan Xishan was puzzled, he asked, "Big boss, what do you mean by this?" β
"There is no way back." Han Lihong said: "If the Yue army is defeated in Shanghai, from the perspective of the country, this will become a turning point in the change of the situation between China and China, and from the perspective of individuals, then all these people who are now in power will have to be replaced." β
When it comes to power struggles, Lao Yan understands it too well, and he can't stop nodding.
Wei Lihuang asked, "Mr. Han, you said that Shanghai will fail?" β
Han Lihong said: "The gap between the national strength of the two countries is too big, and the Shanghai area is not like the Great Wall, and there is no real natural danger to defend, so defeat is inevitable." β
Wei Lihuang nodded.
At this time, Han Lihong said to Yan Xishan again: "Chief Yan, there are only a few planes in us, and we have lost one-third of this battle. Therefore, there will be no large-scale air battles in the future, and if military planes come to attack again, we will have no choice but to dodge. β
Yan Xishan paused for a moment, and he looked at Han Lihong puzzled.
Han Lihong explained: "The remaining planes are to contain the military, and with our planes, even if they don't move, it will cause great pressure on the army." β
Song Zheyuan and Wei Lihuang both nodded, and Yan Xishan also understood, and he said, "Okay, I'll move." β
Han Lihong said again: "Chief Yan, the arsenal is not yours alone, now it belongs to the whole country, if there is an accident in the arsenal, then Chief Yan owes me an explanation, and this statement is not something that can be measured by a little money." β
This is a naked threat, or in front of everyone.
Han Lihong also had to do it as a last resort, and many things in the country were bad because of this mentality similar to Yan Xishan.
The Taiyuan Arsenal is one of the three major arsenals, and the Shenyang Arsenal has already been returned to Yue himself, and if the Taiyuan Arsenal is blown up by Yue himself, the losses will be too heavy.
Yan Xishan's face was not good-looking, but he was helpless against Han Lihong, and he didn't dare not take Han Lihong's threat to heart.
-- When Han Lihong, the leader of the Black God Army, arrived, Comax frowned when he heard it.
These days, he was dumbfounded by the situation in North China, and what annoyed him the most was that the Black God Army had an extremely close relationship with [***].
After the Consulate General moved to Taiyuan, he and Han Lihong met twice, but he didn't have time to discuss in detail, and the Consulate General moved, and the fight was in full swing, and there were too many things, so he didn't take care of the Black God Army.
Now, he is closely linked to the interests of the Black God Army, which does business in the United States, including his shares.
The Black God Army is really amazing, what he invests and what he earns, his wealth goes up with it, so he really doesn't want the Black God Army to get involved with [***].
The Black God Army can do anything, but it can't be with [***].
This is a taboo, and it will be bad in the future.
Picking Han Lihong in, Comax said, "Mr. Han, you Chinese have an old saying, "If you have nothing to do, you will not go to the Three Treasures Hall. β
Han Lihong smiled and said, "Mr. Comax, I am indeed here for something, something big, and it will have a great impact on your future. β
When Comax heard this, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Han, I don't know what kind of big thing it is?" β
Han Lihong said: "Mr. Comax, how many strategic options do you think I have?" β
What are these words? Comax said: "Mr. Han, this is very clear, I only have two strategic choices, either to fight China in the south, or to fight in the north with the Soviet Union, and now I am not fighting with you." β
After a moment of silence, Han Lihong said, "Mr. Comax, what you said is very right, but there is another one that you have overlooked. β
Comax was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. Han, which one did I ignore?" β
Han Lihong said: "Southeast Asia." β
Comax's brows furrowed, and he said, "Mr. Han, this is impossible. β
Han Lihong said: "Mr. Comax, China will be a quagmire for me, and it is impossible for them to conquer China, do you agree with this?" β
Comax nodded and said, "Mr. Han, I agree with you. β
Han Lihong said: "Mr. Comax, because of the existence of the Red Soviet Union, I will not devote the whole country to the Chinese battlefield, so after a few more battles, even if we lose all, I will definitely not be able to continue the offensive, and the two sides will stalemate, that is, we will fight a protracted war and a war of attrition." β
Comax nodded again.
Han Lihong said: "The Chinese battlefield will be a nightmare for Yu, they will not be able to eat it, and they will not be able to vomit it, and this will consume their limited national strength." In the war, oil, rubber, and copper are all indispensable strategic materials, and these materials are said to be unavailable in China, so he must think of other methods. β
After pondering for a moment, Comax said, "Mr. Han, the United States can fully meet the needs of the United States in this regard. β
Han Lihong said: "What Mr. Comax said is very right, but the Soviet Union is not what it used to be, and I don't think I am an opponent of the Soviets. β
Looking at Han Lihong, Comax said, "Mr. Han is too arbitrary, right?" β
Han Lihong said: "Mr. Comax, I am not arbitrary, with the national strength of the country, I will naturally have an advantage against a country like China that has no heavy industry, but against the Soviet Union, I will only be at a disadvantage." After a pause, he continued: "Actually, it doesn't have to be at a disadvantage, as long as there is no certainty of a quick victory, I will avoid an all-out war with the Soviets." β
His brows furrowed high, Comax's face became solemn, and he thought of Han Lihong's initial assertions.
If he does not cooperate with the Soviets and tries to plot against Southeast Asia, then he is an enemy of the United States. What's more, even if they don't plot against Southeast Asia, that is, if they don't do anything with the Soviet Union, then the Americans are unwilling to invade and occupy China. At present, the reason why the US political axe continues to do business with Yue himself, give him loans, and supply strategic materials is so that he can fight the Soviet Union.
Han Lihong said: "Mr. Comax, the most powerful thing in this country is not the army, but the navy, and I judge that the probability of this plan in Southeast Asia is more than eighty percent. β
At this time, Comax understood Han Lihong's intention, Han Lihong was persuading him, and then persuading the United States to change its policy, and the most important part of it was to support the Chinese and support the Black God Army.
Han Lihong said again: "Mr. Comax, it's still too early to say anything, but if you submit this report, if I am right in the future, then your country's political axe will remember you." β
That's right.
After pondering for a moment, Comax said, "Mr. Han, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" β
Laughing secretly in his heart, Han Lihong said: "Mr. Comax, we are friends and partners, if you have anything to say, you can say anything." β
"To be honest, Mr. Han, we are very unimpressed with your relationship with [***]. β
Han Lihong smiled, and he said: "Mr. Comax, I understand your concerns, but in China, if our Black God Army wants to survive and grow, we must have a force that can compete with the Nanjing political axe to shield us from the wind and rain, and at present, in China, this force only has [***]. β
After thinking about it, Comax had to admit that what Han Lihong said was indeed reasonable, and he said, "Mr. Han, I understand this, but ......"
Before Cowmes could continue, Han Lihong interrupted him and said, "Mr. Cowmes, no, in order to survive, even if he is a devil, we have to deal with him. Only [***] can fight with Nanjing political axe, and those of us will have the opportunity to live freely. β
Comax clicked his mouth, Han Lihong's reason was absolutely sufficient.
In fact, it is in the best interests of the United States for a large country like China to be in a state of division, so even if China turns to the United States after reunification, the United States is still happy to see China in a state of division.
The Kuomintang is based on the comprador class, so the Kuomintang is a natural ally of the United States, but even so, as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, the United States still does not want China to be reunified.
Because a big country like China, especially a big country with a long history, as long as it is reunified, it will definitely have its own will, and the time is only sooner or later, which will not be left and right for anyone to think about for a moment, Comax always felt that something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't think of what was wrong, so he said: "Mr. Han, although I don't want you to get together with [***], I have to admit that what you said makes sense." β
"Mr. Comax, thank you for your understanding." After a pause, Han Lihong said again: "Mr. Comax, to put it bluntly, it is the word interest between countries, the Soviet Union is [***], and Mr. Jiang hates [***] the most, but now, Mr. Jiang is not fighting with the Soviets. β
In order to use the hands of the Chinese to consume his own strength, since the start of the all-out war, the Soviet Union not only gave away planes, but also sent many volunteers to directly participate in the war.
Han Lihong is telling him that interests transcend ideology, and he is like this, Chiang Kai-shek, and even more so Americans, without exception.
Mr. Comax was an honest man, and he nodded.
Han Lihong said again: "Mr. Comax, I think you should add another article to the report. β
After a pause, Comax asked, "Mr. Han, what do you add?" β
Han Lihong said: "It is possible to start a war against the United States. β
Comax smiled and said, "Mr. Han, it's impossible, if I add this to my report as you say, I will be laughed at." β
Han Lihong didn't smile, he said solemnly: "Mr. Comax, do you think I am crazy?" Strategically, is he stupid? β
These two questions made Comax put away his smile, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Mr. Han, I still can't agree with your point of view, it's crazy. β
Han Lihong smiled and said, "Mr. Comax, this is a gamble, if you lose the bet, you will be laughed at, but what if you win the bet?" β
Comes's heart pounded.
