577 Chiang Kai-shek's Xi'an Incident II The battleship is ours!
577 Chiang Kai-shek's Xi'an Incident, WWII battleships are ours!
"Comrades, I have good news for you" As soon as Miff entered the door, he looked at the Chinese comrades in the room with a smile: "The People's Commissariat of the Soviet Navy has reached a plan with the Japanese delegation to purchase warships, and the Soviet Union will purchase one second-hand 'Ise'-class battleship and two second-hand 'Kongo'-class battlecruisers" from Japan at a very low price."
"What? The Japanese were going to sell warships to the USSR? Aren't they fighting? ”。 Zhou Elai already faintly felt that something was wrong, and the two advisers were absent from the Politburo meeting today, is it because of this matter? But what did the Soviet Union's purchase of battleships from Japan have to do with its advisers in China?
"This is a great victory won by the Soviet Union in breaking the imperialist blockade" Wang Ming was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he waved his fist and said loudly: "With these three warships, the time for the Soviet Union to become a world naval power and the red flag will be planted all over the world will be greatly advanced."
There is some truth in this analysis, the USSR has now "ordered" two battleships from Japan, and it seems that there are two more "Karl . The "Marx" class was built in the country, and now three battleships and battle cruisers were bought in one go, and if you count four more "Gangut" classes, then the USSR would soon have eleven battleships...... It is estimated that it is going to liberate all mankind. The members of the Politburo present nodded frequently, and they were all very excited, all mankind has suffered for so many years, and now there is finally hope, which is really a good thing. However, the sentence "''" almost did not make some comrades turn their backs.
"These three warships are going to be delivered at the port of Tanggu in China, and now they are on their way to Tanggu, so you must inform the Red Navy that you must not miss them. Although they still have the Japanese flag under them, they are already the property of the Soviet Union, and as soon as they land at Tanggu, we will send someone to take them over. In addition, the Japanese officers and men on these three warships will enter the Tianjin Concession after being disarmed. Uh, those guys should be considered deliveries...... It's all the proletariat."
With a bang, Zhou Elai had already stood up and brought down the chair he was sitting on: "Comrade Miff, are you saying that the three battleships that are now sailing to Tianjin are...... It was bought from Japan by the Soviet Union, but ...... However, Bohai Bay is now a war zone, how can the Japanese deliver here...... Isn't this okay? Would you like to tell Comrade Stalin how to change the place of delivery of these three battleships to Vladivostok or somewhere else? ”
Miff glanced at the stunned Chinese comrades in the room, and said in his heart: "If these three boats can get out of Bohai Bay, the Soviet Union will pay ten times the price, and the Japanese will not sell them."
"What's the matter, as soon as the Soviet flag is hung in Tianjin, it will be the Soviet Red Navy warship, and the Kuomintang will dare to attack the Soviet warship? This is an act of war," Wang Ming waved his arm, as if he saw the great Soviet Red Army beating the Kuomintang reactionaries to the ground.
"Comrade Miff, what the hell is going on? Isn't it...... The Japanese were defeated by the Kuomintang reactionaries in the Bohai Bay? Cornered...... A bargain sale? "Mao" ZD had already guessed a rough idea, but he still stared at Miff with a question mark on his face.
"It seems like this." Chuikov took a breath and took over Mao's question: "According to the information we have, the forty warships of various types of the so-called First Foreign Fleet of the Japanese have sunk more than 30 battleships for the Kuomintang Navy in less than a day, and now only these three battleships and battlecruisers are heading to Tianjin, and the two armored cruisers in the mouth of Arthur...... And not a single battleship of the Kuomintang Navy was sunk in this operation"
The Kuomintang Navy fought the Japanese Navy, took a 35-0 lead, and "forced" three Japanese battleships to sell at a low price...... Hearing this news, the eyes of everyone in the conference room widened. This matter is really unreasonable, it must be the Kuomintang reactionaries who are spreading rumors, and it is not right, this is said by Soviet advisers, their relationship with the Japanese is not ordinary, I am afraid that it is internal information, right? It seems that this Kuomintang reactionary has really become a Chinese imperialist now
"Comrade Shunzhang, what is the strength of the Beiyang Fleet of the Kuomintang Navy now?" Zhou Elai was the first to react from the shock, and hurriedly asked Gu Shunzhang about the strength of the Beiyang Fleet.
This Beiyang Fleet had been active with the Northeast Army Navy some time ago, so the intelligence department of China and G was also able to understand the reality of the Beiyang Fleet. After thinking for a while, he said: "The Kuomintang Navy is divided into two fleets, the Nanyang Fleet and the Beiyang Fleet, of which the Nanyang Fleet is the main force, and the Beiyang Fleet is very weak, with only four cruisers, and one of them is the 'Haiqi' cruiser that was snatched from the Northeast Army. It is incredible that with such strength it can defeat the Japanese First Foreign Fleet with battleships, I guess there must be some hidden secrets in it, perhaps...... What secret weapon did the Kuomintang have in its hands that it got from the Germans? ”
At present, the naval battle of Bohai Bay has just been fought, and neither of the belligerents has announced the losses or the course of the battle, and because the Kuomintang has deployed a large number of mines at the entrance to Bohai Bay, there are no neutral ships to watch the white show. At this time, even the Soviet Union could not understand how the Kuomintang had sunk more than 30 Japanese warships. As soon as Gu Shunzhang's secret weapon theory came out, the Politburo members all nodded, and the look in their eyebrows became more solemn.
"Now that the Kuomintang has this secret weapon, won't it be even more reactionary? Will they allow the battleships bought by the USSR to leave the Bohai Bay safely? ”。 Zhang Wtian couldn't help but open his mouth first.
"The Kuomintang shouldn't dare, right? Aren't they afraid that the USSR and Japan will join forces? Zhu D said coldly with a dark face: "And Heilongjiang is backed by Comrade Cui Kefu of the Soviet Union, don't you say?" ”
Chuikov didn't seem to notice Zhu D's voiceover, just shook his head and said with a smile: "Comrades, Comrade Stalin's decision is actually mainly for the sake of China, these three battleships will not leave Tanggu in a short period of time, and ...... The Japanese did not run out of 356-mm shells stored on the battleship. There were also twenty-six 356-mm guns on the three battleships, which would be the best protectors of the city of Tianjin, and if necessary, the Soviet Union could lease these three battleships to the Chinese Soviet Republic. ”
Hearing this statement, the air in the conference room suddenly became active, and everyone let out a long breath, and a trace of a smile appeared on their faces.
……
"What three Japanese battleships ran to Tianjin to take refuge in GCD"
Luo Yaoguo jumped up from the sofa suddenly, snatched the telephone receiver from Natalie's hand, and shouted at Zhao Zheng, the commander of the Beiyang Fleet on the other end of the telephone line, "You, you...... Didn't you just say that the Japanese were going to pull the back of the Red Navy of GCD, and now how did it become that they joined GCD? This one...... That's ridiculous, isn't it? Those pilots of your reconnaissance planes are all right with their eyesight, right? ”
"Auxiliary commander, I really didn't expect this matter, when our reconnaissance plane discovered these three warships, they were already almost in Tianjin. By the time our bombers arrived, the ships had already docked at the Tanggu wharf, and they had all been replaced with red flags, and hundreds of pilots had seen them, so it should not be wrong, those Japanese seemed to have joined the GCD," the voice on the other end of the phone was also crying and laughing. This thing was so ridiculous that the Japanese hung up the sickle and hammer flag in the blink of an eye with one battleship and two battlecruisers.
In fact, in order to avoid being "mistakenly bombed" by Kuomintang planes, the three battleships hung the Soviet flag with a sickle and hammer instead of the Soviet naval flag
"Assistant, in fact, I think it's not bad......" Zhao Zheng's voice on the other end of the phone was a little hesitant.
Luo Yaoguo was stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "Hanyu, what do you mean by this?" We paid so much to defeat the Japanese Navy, and in the end we paid them for nothing"
"Auxiliary marshal, I haven't finished my words yet" Zhao Zheng heard Luo Yaoguo's words faintly angry, and hurriedly explained: "If these three boats don't join the Communist Party, they will sink us, and we won't be able to get anything." Now that they've voted for it, GCD is always embarrassed to take it alone, right? You should have given us one. We only need to have a 'King Kong' class, and we can use it to support the army in western Liaoning to fight Jinzhou, and we can also use it to fight ...... Go fight Taiwan"
"Hit Taiwan?" Luo Yaoguo raised his eyebrows, at present, it is Japan that first started a war to attack Northeast China, so the responsibility for provoking the war is in China, so taking this opportunity to fight Taiwan can avoid encountering sanctions from the States parties to the "Asian Security Treaty". Now that the Kuomintang planes and submarines have an overwhelming "sexual" advantage over Japan, there is no big problem in controlling the Taiwan Strait, and as long as there is another battle cruiser to act as a floating battery, it should not be a problem to take Taiwan.
"Auxiliary marshal, I have a preliminary idea, we can ask for a 'King Kong' class that has been hit by a torpedo, and then drive it to Shanghai in the name of repairs...... Zhao Zheng lowered his voice and said a simple "plan for attacking Taiwan" on the phone. In fact, it is a copy of the "Battle of Bohai Bay", with a blockade by mines, submarines and aircraft, and a battle cruiser to suppress the ground firepower of the Japanese army in Taiwan, which does not sound difficult.
After listening to Zhao Zheng's suggestion, Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "Okay, this method is very good, I will ask Jiegong to negotiate with Zhang Xueliang in Xi'an." However, for the time being, the main task of your Beiyang Fleet is to blockade Port Arthur and support the operations of the western Liaoxi side. The ports and airfields of Qinhuangdao and Huludao were seriously damaged, and the reorganized 11th Division also suffered nearly 2,000 casualties in the shelling, but the most troublesome thing was that the ammunition and ammunition piled up in Shanhaiguan City were detonated by Japanese naval fire. At present, the ammunition in the Northeast Theater will last for half a month at most, and your Beiyang Fleet must find a way to transport it as soon as possible. It is also necessary to organize a fleet as soon as possible to provide fire support for the battle on the front line of Tower Hill. ”
After Luo Yaoguo and Zhao Zheng finished talking on the phone, they immediately sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, who had already arrived in Xi'an, informing him that the "Battle of the Bohai Bay" had won a decisive "sexual" victory, and at the same time informing him of the news that a Japanese battleship and two Japanese battlecruisers had "surrendered", and asked Chiang Kai-shek to make a request for at least one battleship or battlecruiser in negotiations with Zhang Xueliang.
……
On the night of February 13 in the twentieth year of the Republic of China. Xi'an, Huaqing Pond, Chiang Kai-shek's residence is brightly lit, and in the living room, only the fragrance of the best oolong tea is slowly circling. Chiang Kai-shek frowned and looked at Zhang Xueliang, who was emaciated as if he was a bean sprout, but Zhang Xueliang just lowered his eyelids and yawned one after another, as if he didn't have any energy.
The attachés on both sides were staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes. The Kuomintang was anxious, and the Japanese attack in western Liaoning had already begun. The Japanese army invested hundreds of thousands of troops, more than 1,000 cannons, and more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles on a front more than 100 kilometers wide in the mountainous areas of western Liaoning, and launched a fierce attack day and night. However, the materials consumed are even more powerful, and if the ammunition and medicine supplies are exhausted, the consequences are only that the entire army will be wiped out
Zhang Xueliang's attachés also looked nervously at Chiang Kai-shek, the Kuomintang rightist who did not have a single "hair" on his head, and today was the first day of the "Bohai Bay Operation," and it stands to reason that the battle should not be decided so quickly. This is a "gamble of the whole country" in which both sides have invested a total of more than one million troops, dozens of warships, and thousands of aircraft, and how can the general trend be decided on the first day with the overwhelming "sexual" victory of Chinese imperialism at sea? However, the news now received is that the Japanese fleet was almost completely wiped out in less than twenty-four hours...... And it was the Kuomintang reactionaries, uh, now that they are Chinese imperialism, I heard that GC International has just released the latest list of imperialist countries, upgrading the rating of the Republic of China from "semi-imperial and semi-colonial" to "emerging imperialist countries", and the rating outlook is positive.
"Brother Han Qing, all the things that our national 'government' can do can be put on the table, which is absolutely reasonable. This 'great victory in the Bohai Bay' was fought by our navy and air force officers and men in a bloody battle, and these three Japanese battleships also surrendered to your party when they were desperate under our blows. Therefore, it is absolutely reasonable for us to ask you to give us one of the trophies, how can we say that this battle is won by us, and we must not all go to you and we have nothing to gain? Besides, our requirements are not high, just one will do. ”
Seeing Zhang Xueliang's sluggish appearance, as if he couldn't listen to anything, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to suppress his anger and continue to persuade his mother-in-law bitterly.
To be honest, when he got Luo Yaoguo's telegram in the afternoon, he immediately jumped up, what about the three battleships, how about hundreds of millions of fiat currency, right? Why did you "vote for G"? Aren't these Japanese going to surrender? This doesn't work, these battleships should be Kuomintang's, and they can't be given to the Chinese G, how can there be only one? In the end, under the persuasion of Song Meiling, who accompanied him, Lao Jiang suppressed his anger that was about to explode and came to bargain with Zhang Xueliang. However, this Zhang Xueliang insisted that these battleships were not from the G, but from the USSR, which the USSR bought from the Japanese for millions of dollars, so the CG had no right to hand them over to the Kuomintang. Hearing Zhang Xueliang's explanation, even Song Meiling, who had the best temper among Chiang Kai-shek's attachés, twisted up Xiumei and looked unhappy. Can you say that you can buy three battleships for a few million dollars?
The room was quiet, and there was silence for a while, only to see that Zhang Xueliang finally raised his head, and before he could speak, he sighed deeply: "...... Brother Jie, these three battleships were indeed sold by Japan to the Soviet Union, and they have nothing to do with our party, and this matter is only good for China, not bad. The Japanese sold three battleships...... Aren't they missing three sharp weapons for massacring the Chinese? Isn't it much easier for your party to defeat them and recover the Northeast? ”
Chiang Kai-shek had the urge to drop the tea cup, this opium ghost was simply messing around, and if the three battleships hadn't "cast G", they would have sunk by now, and the thousands of Japanese devils on them had already been slaughtered by Chinese imperialism, so what if they were just "disarmed" and detained in the Tianjin Concession like now?
His face was blue and white for a while, and it was easy for him to slowly calm down, looked at Zhang Xueliang, who was silent again, and said with a forced smile: "Why bother? We don't want to monopolize these three battleships, you can just give one, and you can sell the other two to the Soviet Union, and there is no problem in asking for one or two million dollars. As he spoke, he lowered his voice again: "Now that we have defeated the Japanese Navy, Bohai Bay is the world of the Navy of the National ** Army, without our consent, can the Soviet battleships go out?" ”。
Before he could finish speaking, the faces of several attachés sent by the Central G side behind Zhang Xueliang suddenly sank, and one of them sneered: "Just because you dare to threaten the Soviet Union?" At the moment, the little Japan has already made you anxious, if you dare to provoke the Soviet Union, I am afraid that you are killing yourself, right? ”
A trace of murderous aura flashed on Chiang Kai-shek's face, and he glared fiercely at this ignorant GCD, and said coldly: "Then please tell Stalin, let him try it, and see if he can drive these three battleships out of Bohai Bay"
