The first target plane, Yanhuang Continent xinjiāng Yili, the official residence of "Xinjiāng King" Sheng Shicai, at this time, the "Xinjiāng King" with a newspaper in his hand was walking around the room anxiously

"I didn't expect the Red Party army to be so sharp, and the three eastern provinces said that they would fight it!" Walking back and forth, Sheng Shicai muttered in a low voice, "Although I let Mao Zemin and them go, the enmity with the Red Party has long been deep, damn it, I knew that I was not in such a hurry to get rid of the Red Party~~"

"Knock knock!" (knocks on the door)

"Come in!"

"Chairman, this is the latest newspaper for today!" Sheng Shicai's henchman Liu Ping entered the house with a newspaper in his hand and explained.

"Put it on the table, you down!" "King Xinjiāng", who was unwilling to reveal his true thoughts in front of his subordinates, pretended to be calm and ordered.

"Yes, but Chairman," Liu Ping said a little and stopped.

"What's wrong? Slurred. Sheng Shicai raised his eyebrows and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Recently, there have been some signs of instability in the army, many soldiers have begun to disobey the order, I have inquired, although we have strictly ordered to block the Red Party's counterattack in the northeast and north China, but the news has still spread in the army, and now there are many low-level soldiers and low-level officers who are unstable, and even in remote places of individual garrisons, the phenomenon of desertion has begun to appear!" Liu Ping reported in a low voice.

"Damn, Lao Tzu is not dead yet~~" Sheng Shicai, who heard the bad news, scolded angrily.

"Do you need me," Liu Ping made a gesture of chopping off his head.

"How much of our total strength is now the unstable army?" After Sheng Shicai saw Liu Ping's gesture, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked.

"About 6~7 percent!"

"Seventy percent?" Hearing that the number was a bit high, "King Xinjiāng" hesitated a little, and finally shook his head and said: "The proportion is too high, and the use of high-pressure policies is easy to intensify and produce mutiny, you inform the high-ranking generals of the army, I will hold a banquet tomorrow night, invite them to participate, and appease the army!" ”

"Yes! I'll do it. ”

"Wait, there's one more thing!"

"Yes, Chairman!"

"The Flying Tigers I asked you to contact, do you have eyebrows?" Sheng Shicai asked about his back road with concern.

"I have already been contacted through the informant we arranged in Chongqing, but their Star-Spangled Banner officers offer a very high price, and the cost of transporting supplies on each transport plane is as high as 5,000 US dollars (at that time, Lao Jiang invited the Flying Tigers, and it was only 500 US dollars a day)." Liu Ping replied cautiously.

"$5,000 at a time? Paralyzed, when I am the wronged head~~~" Thinking of the large amount of people's fat and people's ointment that he had looted over the years, "Xinjiāng Wang" couldn't help but start calculating how many planes he needed to transport it.

"Chairman?" Liu Ping saw that Sheng Shicai hadn't spoken for a long time and asked.

"Huh?" The "King of Xinjiāng", who was recalled by his subordinates, made up his mind and said: "You tell our people in Chongqing, promise them, ask them when they will fly to Xinjiāng, we need to prepare early, and, Liu Ping!" ”

"In!"

"You are the person I trust the most, do a good job, take care of the transport plane, remember, don't let others know, especially those officers in the army, after the matter is completed, once there is a change in xinjiāng, I will take you away with me!" Knowing that he needed to buy people's hearts at this time, so that Liu Ping would follow him with all his heart, Sheng Shicai gave a "promise".

"Yes! Chairman, don't worry, I, Liu Ping, will definitely arrange things to a successful conclusion. Hearing the boss's "guarantee", the dog-legged Liu Ping said happily.

"Alright, let's go."

"Yes!"

Moscow, USSR. In an underground air-raid shelter, Stalin learned of the fact that the Yanhuang Red Party had successfully counterattacked Northeast China and North China, thus owning "half of the country" on the Yanhuang Continent.

"Is the information accurate?" Stalin stared at the telegram and asked incredulously.

"General Secretary, it has been reconfirmed." General Zhukov, who was standing behind Stalin's desk in the room, replied.

"At least we don't have to worry about the safety of the far East Siberian region anymore, do we?" Surprisingly, although Stalin said that intelligence would be beneficial to his side, his face and tone were not too happy.

"Yes, General Secretary, we have calculated that after the Red Party counterattacks the Northeast and destroys all the Guan Dong Army, we can transfer back 30~400,000 troops from the Far East." Zhukov suggested.

"30~400,000? After the transfer, how many troops are left there? ”

"About 400,000 or so, plus about 250,000 new troops, the total strength remains at about 650,000."

"650,000, the number of newly recruited troops is a little small, and the speed is too slow." Stalin instructed.

"General Secretary" Zhukov stopped talking a little.

"What's wrong?"

"Our army is running out." Zhukov, who is familiar with the state of domestic reserve forces, replied under pressure.

"Depleted of soldiers? Don't we have a population of more than 100 million? "Stalin could hardly believe Zhukov's judgment.

"Up to now, Dekou has invaded our country for two consecutive winters, in the nearly 2 years of war, we have lost more than 9 million troops one after another, and because of the two cold winters, lack of sufficient clothing and fuel supplies of our army, there are more than 200 ~ 3 million troops are non-combat attrition or missing, now all fronts, rear positions maintain a total of nearly 10 million troops, all kinds of arsenals, steel plants, oil refineries although a large number of female workers, but all need to be equipped with a minimum of male workers, As a result of all this, the country's young and middle-aged people who meet the standards have been almost completely conscripted, and now we have relaxed the age of conscription to 14 to 60 years old, so that we can sustain the entire Great Patriotic War. Zhukov patiently explained in detail.

"So~~ What if, I said if, let the Red Party send troops directly into our Great Patriotic War?" Stalin suggested with less certainty.

"It will be difficult to persuade them to postpone the abandonment or to partially slow down the offensive south of the Yangtze River."

"Well, let Vasilevsky go to Yanhuang on my behalf to try it, if you can win 100~2 million main field troops of the Red Party, it is the best result, if there is no gain, there is no actual loss, at least you can observe the actual rear and theater of the Yanhuang Red Party at close range. In addition, to send back the North Korean Kim Ri-sung, who studied in Moscow, we need to drive a nail in the DPRK. ”

"Yes, General Secretary." Although Zhukov thought that the success of the trip was very low, he also agreed with the idea of what was feasible.

Stars and Stripes Republic, White House, Washington, D.C.

"Your Excellency, the President of the Republic of Yan and Huang Chie-hsiang arrived in Washington yesterday, and he asked through the diplomat channel when he could meet you." Marshall, one of Roosevelt's main aides, asked.

Hearing the question of his subordinates, Roosevelt did not answer immediately, but took a deep puff of cigarette, and then asked: "Now in the Yanhuang Continent, the Red Party has occupied all the areas north of the Yangtze River, including Outer Mongolia?" ”

"Well, yes, according to the information we have gathered, except for the Xinjiāng area north of the Yangtze River, the rest have been conquered by the Red Party, and the south of the Yangtze River is still in the hands of the Japanese Kou Army for the time being, and they are seizing the time to build a large number of fortifications, and the southwest is under the control of Chiang Kai-shi." Marshall replied.

"Do we need to change the policy and change it to a two-way bet?" To Marshall's surprise, Roosevelt said suddenly.

"Your Excellency, the Red Party is a hardcore ally of the Soviet Union, and they share the same Red Sè values." Marshall reminded.

"Allies? I read your summary of the recent Asian war report, and I found it very interesting. Roosevelt smiled and said: "Most people think that it was the Soviet Union that gave a large amount of material and equipment assistance to the Yanhuanghong Party, and the latter succeeded in counteroffensive again and again." ”

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

"We have military observers and liaison officers in the Soviet Union, and we know very well the situation on the entire front line in the Soviet Union in the past year, and now they are very short of equipment and materials in all aspects, and the period when the Trans-Siberian Railway was interrupted made even worse for them, and the front line is on the verge of collapse, so even if they are willing to support the Yanhuanghong, they will never reach the size of hundreds of thousands, millions of integrated division troops, so," Roosevelt said.

"So either the Red Party has other sources of armaments, or they have built their own military-industrial system." Marshall followed Roosevelt's train of thought.

"That's right, considering that the Red Party was located in Shaanxi Province earlier, and did not have the ability to provide large-scale railways and maritime transportation around it, and Central Asia and the Soviet Union did not have the possibility of large-scale assistance, although it is difficult to believe, but the greatest possibility is that since 1937, maybe earlier, the Red Party has been secretly developing its own military industry, which is very likely that the Soviet Union in the early stage, that is, before Germany attacked it, sent a large number of experts and equipment assistance, laid a good foundation, and finally broke out completely in 1943, And with the Shanxi military industrial system and the current Northeast military industrial system falling into the hands of the Red Party, now the Yanhuang Red Party has the material base and military industry confidence to compete for the Yanhuang regime. Coupled with their population base and conscription ability, it is already difficult for the bald party to resist alone, unless he unites with the Japanese bandits, the Japanese bandits will provide equipment, and the bald party will produce people, but analyzing the domestic public opinion and social theory of Yan and Huang, this is a strategy that will not work at all. ”

"But in the end, there is a big disagreement between the Yanhuanghong Party and us." Although Marshall agreed with Roosevelt's analysis, he dutifully reminded him.

"This is the second interesting phenomenon that I have discovered, that the Yanhuanghong Party is not in harmony with the Soviet Union, and can even be said to have its own calculations. When the Japanese invaded Outer Mongolia and attacked the Trans-Siberian Railway of the Soviet Union, although the Yanhuanghong Party finally sent troops to attack the rear of the Guandong Army, their real goal was to occupy Outer Mongolia, and at the same time, the remnants of the Guan Dong Army that invaded the vicinity of Lake Baikal of the Soviet Union did not continue to attack, but watched the Soviets themselves transfer troops to encircle and suppress, of course, they refused on the pretext of insufficient troops, but after thinking about it carefully, it can be found that the Red Party has been hoping for the recovery of Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union has always hoped for the Outer ** Standing is the opposite, this is a huge hidden danger, the same continent, two vast countries bordering each other, even if they have the same values and governing program, but can they always be peaceful? Winston Churchill once said, 'There are no eternal friends and no permanent enemies between countries, only eternal interests', so I believe that this sentence is also applicable between Yanhuang and the Soviet Union. ”

"What do you mean, President?"

"Send a few observers and a special presidential envoy to form an observation delegation to fly to Yan'an to have a close contact with the Yanhuanghong Party, and it is best to go to their occupied areas to have a look, I want to get first-hand information and provide reference for our foreign policy in the future."

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will arrange this. But Yan Huang bald party Jiang Jieshi there"

"I don't see him, you let the vice president meet me on my behalf, as for the aid he proposed, just increase it appropriately, but to control the increase, just tell him that we have to aid Europe now, and we have to prepare for a counterattack on Hawaii, and there is no more production capacity, understand?"

"Yes, I see, Your Excellency!"
