903 Anti-encirclement and the Long March 10 The strategy of the master of strategy
After listening to Liu Bcheng's introduction, Mao Zd was a little disappointed, but his mood quickly recovered, and he said lightly: "It doesn't matter, everything has a process, these poor middle peasants in India have been poisoned by the Brahmin religion for 4,000 years, and they can wake up in just two or three months." You must be patient with them, and you must tell your comrades that when you get along with Indian comrades, you must never treat them as Lao Tzu Party, but treat them as friends and brothers, you know? ”
"I know, I must treat the Indian comrades as brothers." Liu Bcheng frowned and nodded, in fact, the method that Mao Zd said had already been adopted by the South Asian Army, but it had little effect. Where is the "old fritter" nation with a history older than the Chinese nation so easy to fool? Moreover, this people have been ruled by foreign peoples for thousands of years (the three castes of Brahmins, Kshatriyas, and Vaishyas are also foreign Aryan races), and they have long learned to perfunctory all kinds of conquerors.
Seeing Liu Bcheng's embarrassed expression, Mao ZD also guessed a rough idea, he sighed softly, and said: "Of course, the necessary coercive measures can still be taken!" We GCD people are courtesy before soldiers, not unprincipled accommodation and connivance. Now that the war is imminent, we can't reason with them slowly. Speaking of this, he frowned slightly, "Also, after all, the Indian revolution must be based on Indian comrades, and we Chinese internationalist fighters are only here to help, and we can't steal the first credit from others, you know?" ”
Liu Bcheng was stunned, and didn't understand what Mao Zd meant for a while. Hurriedly turned his head to look at Yang Skun. Yang Sikun smiled and said, "Yes! Some Indian comrades are still very enthusiastic about the revolution and resolutely demand that they be the first to take the lead. I think it would be possible to have one or two Indian battalions in each infantry regiment, which would be used to charge into battle and at the same time allow the best of the Indian revolutionaries to show themselves as quickly as possible. ”
"I see." Liu Bcheng smiled and nodded, he paused and said: "Vice Chairman Mao, then is our GC International South Asian Army going to launch a campaign to cooperate with the Soviet Red Army?" ”
Mao Zd nodded, looked at Liu B, and said, "Of course we have to take action." bCheng, where do you think we should attack? You, Comrades Ye Ting, and Xiang Ying came to India earlier than me, and they must be more familiar with the situation than me, and where should we develop next? You should be a brother, right? ”
Liu Bcheng nodded lightly, admitting Mao Zd's guess, and he smiled and said: "Vice chairman, before you came to India to guide our work, the General Front Committee of the South Asian Army did brew several combat plans, among which the plan to seize East and West Bengal and establish a revolutionary base area is the most suitable for the current situation. ”
"Oh, tell me why?"
"Our original plan was to establish our first base in East Bengal, which is more economically developed than Orissa, and Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, is one of the largest cities in India. It was also once the residence of the British Governor-General. And because of the influence of Islam, Hinduism and the caste system are relatively weak. It will help us carry out the agrarian revolution. However, the plan could not keep up with the change, and the Wehrmacht aircraft carrier, which was supposed to provide air support to us, was transferred to the Indian Ocean to fight the British naval fleet, so we had to establish a base in Odisha. At present, the main force of the Indian puppet army is fighting against the Soviet Red Army in the west, and the other is setting up a long snake formation outside our base areas, and East and West Bengal are relatively empty, and it is a good opportunity for us to march east to liberate the Bengal people. ”
Liu Bcheng said very slowly, and there are still some differences in the leadership of the South Asian Army in the plan he is proposing now. This is because this option will most likely require the abandonment of existing base areas, at least those in southern Odisha and eastern Chhattisgarh. Moreover, East and West Bengal is farther away from the Indian capital New Delhi than Orissa, which is very detrimental to the rapid liberation of all of India. After all that is said. Liu Bcheng looked at Mao Zd. Mao ZD had already lit a cigarette at this time and was slowly smoking it.
Mao Zd nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Liu Bcheng's opinion, he walked to the Indian military map hanging on the wall and looked at it for a while, as if talking to himself: "I just don't know if Stalin can succeed in opening up a base in the West Indies, no, it should be whether Chinese imperialism will allow him to settle in the West Indies!" Mao Zd's thinking was obviously jumping, he turned to Yang Skun and said, "Send electricity to Comrade Elai." Let him try to find out what Luo Yaoguo envisioned about Stalin and northwestern India. In addition, I would like to invite comrades such as Xiang Ying, Ye Ting, Peng Dhuai, Liu Sqi, and Chen Y to come to me for a while, and we will discuss the development direction of the South Asian Army in the next step. ”
Mao ZD is a master of strategy in the party of the Central G, and he does not ask too much about specific tactical issues, and the main person in charge of the international South Asian Army is also the strategic layout of the entire South Asian revolution. has its own military experts such as Ye Ting and Liu Bcheng to find a way.
Kun received instructions and turned to leave. There were only two people left in the office, Liu Bcheng and Mao Zd, and Liu Bcheng was a little curious about Mao Zd's last words. I couldn't help but ask: "Vice chairman, is the direction of our development still related to whether Stalin can open up a base area in northwestern India?" ”
"Of course." Mao Zd took another puff of cigarette and spit out a circle of white smoke, "Not only is it related, but it also has a lot to do with it!" If Stalin can gain a foothold in northwestern India, he will certainly seek to seize New Delhi, take control of the Indian central power, and probably raise another Indian GCD. In that case, we will have to think about speeding up the pace of seizing central power in India! It is worth even suffering a few more casualties (referring to the Chinese internationalist fighters) for this. On the contrary, we should fight steadily, first seize East and West Bengal and Assam, and establish the Socialist Republic of Bangladesh and Assam there, plus the Socialist Republic of Orissa here, then we will have a base in the eastern part of South Asia that is sufficient for independent statehood. ”
Mao ZD actually didn't tell Liu Bcheng what he really thought. In fact, he did not expect Luo Yaoguo to have the idea of splitting northwest India to form the Republic of Pakistan. Therefore, whether Stalin can gain a foothold in northwestern India is a sign of Luo Yaoguo's support for the authorities in New Delhi. The next move of the CG and GC International South runners-up must also fully take this factor into account.
If the Chinese Wehrmacht intervenes in the war after Stalin defeated the Indian puppet army, it shows that it still supports the Gandhi authorities! In this case, China and G should retreat and secede the northeast region of India, and even consider establishing independent socialist union countries in Bangladesh, Assam, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal and other places! As long as Luo Yaoguo does not want to see an independent and powerful India, then he will definitely support this independent country to confront New Delhi.
If, on the other hand, the Chinese Nationalist government did not bother with Stalin's opening of a base in India, it would indicate that they had no intention of supporting the New Delhi authorities. Then the CG could ask the Nationalist Government for more help in the name of fighting with Stalin for India, so that the GC International South Asian Army would enter New Delhi before Stalin's Red Army and occupy the central power of India, of course, after the central power of India. The Chinese G could not drive Stalin out completely, and if he wanted to stay in the northwest of India, and form a situation of "fighting against each other" with the Chinese G, this is called raising the Kou self-respect
When Zhou Elai received a telegram from Mao ZD in the name of the advisory group of the GC International Oriental Bureau in India, the "Singapore Peace Conference" was no longer in place. On the day that Stalin's Red Army crossed Baluchistan to Khuzdal, Nehru was anxious to fly back to New Delhi, and then the general secretary of the Indian GCD, Ruy, also returned to Bhubaneswar, but Zhou Elai remained in Singapore to discuss with Luo Yaoguo some arrangements for the Japanese and Korean revolutions. After a few days of contact with Luo Yaoguo, Zhou Elai sensed that the other party was probably planning an aggressive conspiracy against the Japanese Empire! Moreover, it is clear that Luo Yaoguo did not stay in Singapore just to discuss the North Korean and Japanese issues with him. There should be a bigger plan. The secretaries around Zhou Enlai "inadvertently" discovered that the senior generals of the South Sea Fleet, the Western Fleet, the South Ocean Front of the Army, and the Australian Front of the Wehrmacht Navy secretly appeared in Singapore during this time!
Furthermore. The entire Xinjiapo fortress was under martial law after Nehru and Ruyi left. In particular, the military port is surrounded by outposts, and no one is allowed to approach it without a special pass issued by the Singapore Fortress Command. Obviously, the capital ships of the South and Western fleets are secretly concentrated in Singapore.
After receiving the telegram from the "advisory group in India," Zhou Elai immediately went to Luo Yaoguo's residence at the Zhangyi Naval Base to request a meeting with Xuan Xiafu, Liu Bojian, and others from the Sino-G delegation. But when he arrived, Natalie told him, "Chairman Zhou, the chief is in a meeting, please wait in the reception room for a while." ”
Zhou Elai glanced at the two-row BMW-1937 bulletproof sedan parked in the courtyard. I know that today's meeting must be extraordinary, but it is a pity that there are not many eyeliners in the Wehrmacht now, and most of these eyeliners are in a less important position, so it is difficult to understand the core secrets, and it seems that it is necessary to strengthen the intelligence work of the Wehrmacht in the future. Thinking of this, he smiled indifferently: "When will the meeting end?" ”
Natalie said, "It's going to be two or three hours, and it's going to be over when it's time for dinner, or else." I will arrange for Chairman Zhou to have dinner with the Chief Executive. After finishing speaking, she ordered the orderlies to serve a cup of green tea to Zhou Elai and the others, and then turned around and left.
After a while, the door of the meeting room was pushed open again, but it was Luo Yaoguo's confidant, Zeng Qi, the minister of colonial affairs of the Nationalist Government, who entered.
Zeng Qi and Zhou Elai have known each other for more than 20 years, and the two met in Europe in the 20s. However, due to different political views, the relationship is not harmonious. Later, when Zeng Qi held a key position under Zhang Zuolin, he was on the opposite side of the Chinese government, although the two sides once cooperated in the formation of a coalition government. However, after Zhang Zuolin's assassination, the two parted ways again. Now that the two met again, they just nodded to each other, and they went straight to the point without too many greetings.
Zeng Qi said lightly: "The assistant marshal asked me to understand Mr. Zhou's intention, if you want to purchase arms, as long as the advanced level of weapons does not exceed the last time." You can directly invite representatives of the Ministry of Armaments to come to Singapore. If it is a matter of Japan or North Korea, then please wait patiently for Mr. Zhou. The assistant coach will come and talk to you personally. ”
"It's not about arms procurement, it's not about Japan or North Korea." Zhou Elai picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip of green tea, and said with a smile: "I want to know about the Indian policy of the national government, I don't know if Mr. Mu Han can penetrate one or two?" ”
"Indian policy?" Zeng Qi lifted his round glasses, frowned and said, "Then please tell Mr. Zhou, what does your party want to know?" ”
"Now the Soviet Red Army led by Stalin has entered the northwest of India and is engaged in a decisive battle with the Indian puppet army in the middle reaches of the Indus River. I wonder what the attitude of Marshal Luo and the Nationalist Government is to this? Zhou Elai thought about it and said that this matter was actually not much of a secret. It's just that at the moment, Zhong G's eyeliner in the Wehrmacht just can't touch the secrets of this level.
"I see." Zeng Qi smiled and said, "This matter is not a secret, I can answer it." The attitude of the Nationalist Government towards Stalin and his so-called Soviet Red Army has always been very clear, that is, opposition! Moreover, the Nationalist Government also considered the military operations of Stalin's Red Army in Persia, Baluchistan and northwestern India to be aggression! Our government has always been against aggression! Speaking of this, he paused and asked Zhou Elai rhetorically: "Your party must also oppose aggressive acts, right?" ”
"Of course! One of the things of our party is to oppose acts of aggression in any form and for any reason! Zhou Elai said: "Our party's proposition is that all countries, big or small, strong or weak, are equal, coexist peacefully, and do not interfere in each other's internal affairs!" As he spoke, he abruptly accentuated his tone, "We also hope that the Nationalist Government will not interfere in the civil war in India. India's affairs should be settled by the Indian people themselves. ”
"What!?" Zeng Qi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Elai fixedly with beads in his eyes. "And what's going on with your GC International South runner-up?"
Zhou Elai smiled faintly, "That is not interference in internal affairs, but the union of the international proletariat." Besides, we are not the ruling party of China, we are not helping the Indian GCD in the name of the state, but only in the name of the GC International Oriental Bureau to help the Indian proletarian revolution, which is not the same as interfering in internal affairs. ”
Zeng Qi raised his eyebrows, and wanted to have a big debate with Zhou E, but Xuanxia's father hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Mr. Zeng." Are your defense forces preparing to intervene militarily in the war in northwestern India? ”
"Hehe, that's a military secret, how can I, the minister of colonial affairs, know?" Zeng Qi smiled, pointed to the ceiling and said, "Otherwise, I should have attended the meeting above now, instead of drinking tea with a few people here." ”
At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and then the door of the living room was pushed open by Natalie, and Luo Yaoguo, who was full of tiredness, appeared at the door. In the past two days, he convened the military chiefs of the South Ocean Fleet, the Western Fleet, the North Ocean Fleet, the South Ocean Front, and the Australian Front in Singapore, and held secret military meetings for several days. Discuss the battle plan against Japan! At the same time, it also listened to the opinions of various quarters on adjusting policies toward the United States and Germany. Due to the special relationship between China and Germany, which has lasted for more than ten years, especially the fact that most of the military generals were trained by German instructors, there is a general pro-German and anti-American sentiment. Many generals even wrote to Luo Yaoguo, putting forward a proposal to participate in the war against the United States, advocating that China and Germany divide the world.
Because this kind of pro-German thinking is common in the National Defense Forces, Luo Yaoguo is not easy to suppress strongly, so he can only persuade hard. And today. Luo Yaoguo also conducted a war game of "annihilating the United States" with several high-ranking generals who advocated "uniting Germany against the United States." In order to prove to these "pro-German factions" that participating in the war against the United States would not be of much benefit to China, but would cause an unprecedented expansion of Germany's power. In fact, this principle is also very simple. Because the distance between China and the United States is much farther than the distance between the United States and Europe, and China and the United States are separated by the Pacific Ocean. There is also the power of Japan, and even without taking into account Japan, the width of the Pacific Ocean is several times the width of the Atlantic Ocean between the United States and Europe. Moreover, the shipping capacity that China can control is only 6 million tons, while the total tonnage of merchant ships owned by Germany, Italy, and France is as high as 30 million tons! If you include the UK (excluding Canada), the shipping capacity is as high as 75 million tons! In other words, in the case of seizing sea supremacy, the ability of Germany and Italy to project military power to the United States will be dozens of times that of China! Due to the long distance and insufficient maritime capacity, China's army forces that can be invested in the war against the United States will be quite limited, so the territory it can seize will not be too much.
If the Japanese factor is taken into account, it is almost impossible to participate in the war against the United States. After all, the Pacific Ocean is too wide, and the Chinese Navy cannot set off from Shanghai or Taiwan and float 10,000 nautical miles in the Pacific Ocean to fight in the Americas, and must borrow Pearl Harbor under Japanese control as a base! And to put the main forces of the entire Chinese Navy in the ports blocked by the artillery of the Japanese coast is simply suicide! Nor would any Chinese admiral dare to take such a risk.
After some war games, even Marshal An Sihua, who was the most pro-German, had to admit that it was impossible for China to participate in the war against the United States before Japan was destroyed, unless the security of the entire navy was pinned on Japan's credibility. As for the feasibility of obtaining the Hawaiian Islands through any territorial exchange, after all, Japan can see territories such as Western Australia, China will not give anything.
After the war game was over, Luo Yaoguo suddenly received an urgent call about the war situation in the northwest of India, so he hurriedly ended the meeting and went downstairs to see Zhou E.
