895 Anti-encirclement and the Long March II War and trade

After reading the telegram, Mao ZD sighed lightly, and said to Zhou E: "E come, we have met a good opponent this time, this William. Slim really has some skills. ”

Zhao Shiyan smiled and reminded: "Vice Chairman Mao, the intelligence said that the three-way offensive plan of the British and Indian armies last time was also this William. Slim formulated. ”

Mao Zd shook his head, "A failure does not mean anything, on the contrary, this person can find our strengths and weaknesses in a failure, and also see the actual combat effectiveness of the Indian puppet army, and can formulate a combat plan to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, so it is definitely our fierce enemy...... I'm afraid that the next anti-encirclement campaign will not be easy to fight! ”

Zhou Elai on the side thought for a while and said, "Runzhi, can we find a way to lure the enemy into going deep into each other?" In the previous Battle of Balasol, the Indian army's positional warfare was okay, and our troops suffered a lot of losses. If it weren't for the more timely air support of the Kuomintang, I am afraid that the losses would have been even greater. In the subsequent night raid on Jamshedpur, the same Indian army panicked and collapsed at the first touch. It is clear that the quality of the soldiers in this army is poor, the level of training is poor, and the junior officers lack the necessary military experience. Once they encounter an unexpected situation, they are very flustered, but their weapons and equipment are relatively sufficient, and their artillery skills are better, so they can still hold on to fighting in positional warfare. ”

Mao Zd smiled bitterly and said, "We can lure the enemy, but it's hard to say if this enemy is not fooled." And our and India's GCD's roots in India are too shallow. Even the local political power in the base areas has not been fully established and consolidated. If the conditions are not available to lure the enemy to the base areas with a better mass base for annihilation, the local political power that has been established with great difficulty will collapse one after another because of the enemy's approach...... In the same way, it is not feasible to jump out of the enemy's encirclement and advance to the enemy's rear. The situation of the class struggle in India is more complicated than we imagined, and it is not possible to establish a revolutionary base by fighting a few Brahmins. ”

Zhou Elai thought about it and shook his head and said: "Where there is oppression, there is resistance!" The oppression of the Indian peasants is much worse than that of the poor middle peasants in our country, and our poor and middle peasants in China still have a head start, and there is always a chance to make a fortune or soar. But in India, caste is everything. As long as you are from a bad background, it is useless to struggle, you can only endure hardships and suffer poverty for a lifetime, how can such oppression not resist? ”

Mao ZD smiled coldly: "It's been oppressed for 4,000 years, and it seems that there aren't many Shudras and Dalits who have risen up to resist." It can be seen that where there is oppression, there is not necessarily resistance, and where resistance is strong, it is not necessarily where the oppression is deeper. The key depends on whether the power of this oppression is strong! For example, the oppression of the peasants in the former Soviet Union was very severe, and the oppression of people who were not from a bad background of the proletariat was even more oppressive to death. Is there a large-scale revolt? If it weren't for imperialism, I'm afraid this kind of oppression would have lasted for many years! Maybe it will be until the day when GCISM is realized. ”

For this theory of Mao ZD. Zhou Elai and Zhao Shiyan were a little dumbfounded, but they thought about it carefully. I also think there is some truth to it. After all, these Shudras and Dalits in India have not resisted the rule of Brahmins and Dessanya for 4,000 years. It can be seen that the feudal power in India is indeed very strong!

He then thought that if the Indian feudal forces were really so strong, then the GC International South Asian Army really couldn't easily give up its hard-won base area, and could only fight a tough positional battle with the Indian puppet army there. At least until Stalin's Soviet Red Army entered India, it would be possible for them to share the pressure.

"We really have to prepare for the worst! Runzhi, it's better to be like this. As a special commissioner of the Oriental Bureau and the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China, you went to India to help Xiang Ying, Ye Ting, Peng Dhuai, Liu Bcheng and other comrades to do a good job in the anti-encirclement and suppression work of the GC International South Asian Army. Zhou Elai said in a heavy tone.

Mao Zd didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I can go to India." I will also try my best to find a way to adopt the method of sports warfare to break the encirclement and suppression. But whether it can be done or not, I am not sure, and in the end it may still have to rely on positional warfare to solve the problem. According to the report of the South Asian Army, the weapons and equipment of the Indian puppet army are not bad, most of the equipment can also be produced by itself, and the output of ammunition can also sustain the needs of a large-scale war...... Moreover, historically, the British and Indian armies also participated in the Western Front of World War I and fought trench warfare with the Germans for four years! It can be seen that they can still fight trench warfare. And the weapons and equipment of our South Asian Army still seem to be a little rudimentary. Come, do you think you can use the gold and silver confiscated from the princely princes and the Brahmin landlord class in India to buy a batch of weapons and equipment from the national government? In addition, can we also transfer our air force to India? ”

In May, the Indian GCD and the South Asian Army launched a vigorous agrarian revolution in parts of Orissa and Karkhand, and Chhattisgarh, and although the results were not ideal, they still confiscated a lot of wealth...... Roughly calculated. There are always two million taels of gold, and there are also tens of millions of taels of silver!

"We consume a little more weapons and ammunition. We will be able to sacrifice fewer comrades, who are the spark of the revolution. Each one is more precious than gold! Zhou Elai seemed to be answering Mao Zd's words, and seemed to be talking to himself again, and finally he said: "Okay, I'll go to Wuhan in person to talk about business with Luo Yaoguo." ”

……

At this time, in Wuhan, although the war had stopped, the headquarters of the Wehrmacht, which had great power and was mainly composed of the General Staff of the Wehrmacht, was still in operation, and there was no intention of abolishing it at all. Although a lot of governments in those new provinces or colonies have been formed, it does not mean that China has completed the digestion of those territories, and there are still many things that need to be carried out by the National Defense Force, a violent organ belonging to the state.

For example, the original colonial troops on these new territories were demobilized or evacuated. These are to be carried out under the armed surveillance of the Defence Forces. The law and order in these areas must also be maintained by the National Defense Forces for the time being, especially in the territories of the former French Indochina and British Burma, where there are still many guerrillas controlled by national independence elements.

Large-scale resettlement has also begun, and the mobilization of immigrants naturally does not require the intervention of the National Defense Forces, and their own local governments have their own local governments to draw beautiful pies for those people living at the bottom of the "dire straits...... However, from June 1939 onwards, hundreds of thousands of people had to be transported, resettled, and provided with temporary housing for them every month, providing them with the necessary means of production and livelihood, and protecting them from the "terrorists" on the lands seized by the Chinese imperialists. These tasks can only be done under the arrangement of the headquarters of the Wehrmacht.

And the land that has just been acquired, although it is supposed to be rich land, but what it actually inherited is a mess, some of which was destroyed by war, and some of which was completely collapsed due to the abnormal change of the ruling authority. Until local governments at all levels are re-established, it will be almost impossible to make these fertile lands a source of national revenue. And to straighten out all these things one by one, it is impossible to do it without a year and a half. Therefore, the state cannot immediately return to a normal peace system, but can only allow the relatively efficient wartime system to be maintained for a while.

Furthermore. An imminent Sino-Japanese war also needed to be maintained from a base camp and a wartime system. Luo Yaoguo doesn't think that China can easily defeat Japan! This nation is very tenacious, and it is not the United States that has almost blown up the country in history. Two more atomic bombs were dropped, where will they surrender? By the way, the U Engineering Committee that manufactured the atomic bomb was also under the direct jurisdiction of the base camp, and Lu Ming and Wei Bojian reported to the base camp in early June, saying that the assembly of the first atomic bomb had been completed, and they were waiting to choose an auspicious day (this kind of thing depends on the yellow calendar) to test the explosion! However, the long-range bomber that can drop this atomic bomb is still under development, and the aircraft design and wind tunnel tests have been completed, but it is stuck in the high-power engine, and Luo Yaoguo has contacted US Ambassador Rockefeller several times for this matter.

At last. There is also the rehabilitation of the 3 million Defence Forces, the transformation of the huge military industry after the war, the stability of the country's economy during the transformation, and the arrangement of the post-war Asian and world order...... and so on, Luo Yaoguo, the chief of the General Staff, will make the final decision. What made him speechless was that the president of the Republic of China, that is, his uncle Luo Yiqun, was completely a hands-off shopkeeper with no ideas, and basically couldn't help much. All of this. It's all on Luo Yaoguo's own shoulders, so that our Chief of Staff Luo sometimes feels that he is the busiest person in the Republic of China.

Early this morning, he walked into the compound of the General Staff Headquarters in Lushan with some tiredness, and negotiated with US Ambassador Rockefeller late at night last night, and it was already one or two o'clock in the morning when he returned to the mansion, and after squinting for a few hours, he came back to continue to handle official business. This Lushan General Staff compound was just built in 1938. Although the scale is not as large as the General Staff Building in Wuhan, it is fully functional. The telecommunications facilities are complete, and it is possible to maintain telegraph or telephone contact with the entire national defense barracks and above 24 hours a day. At the same time, important events in various parts of the world will also be transmitted here for the first time through those wireless telegraph antennas erected high on the roof of the General Staff compound.

The General Staff Operations Command Center was a little more deserted than a while ago, and there were several staff officers on duty who were drawing maps there, and when they saw Luo Yaoguo walking in, they immediately stood up and saluted. The click of leather boots on the floor alarmed He Yingqin, who was watching the telegram intently. He raised his head and looked at Luo Yaoguo's tired face looking at him with a hint of a smile, He Yingqin hurriedly stood up, nodded at Luo Yaoguo, and said with a smile: "Brother Fuwen, have the Americans agreed to transfer the technology of the R2800 engine to us?" ”

Luo Yaoguo exhaled lightly: "I finally agreed, and also agreed to sell us three automobile production lines, several sets of large-scale steel-making equipment, hundreds of large-scale construction machinery, provide design drawings and materials for B-17 and B-24, provide the latest airborne radar samples and some materials on jet aircraft engines that are still under development, as well as thousands of various machine tools, as well as dozens of ships and 100,000 tons of American flour." ”

He Yingqin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Hehe, the harvest is not small!" Brother Fuwen. You're not going to agree to the Yankees declaring war on Japan, are you? ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled bitterly: "That's not true, I just agreed to provide all the design drawings, technical data and samples of the No. 4 tank, FW-190, BF-109, JU-87 and JU-88 to the Americans." In addition, the Pacific Ocean north of the 42nd parallel and the high seas of the Sea of Japan will be declared a demilitarized zone, and we will send warships to patrol there and prohibit the entry and exit of military ships or submarines of any belligerent countries to ensure that normal trade between China and the United States is not affected. However, we do need to import a large amount of machinery and equipment, food, and manufactured goods to meet the needs of domestic and colonial construction. And the one that can provide these things is the United States, but we have more than 10 billion dollars in our hands, but we don't have a few marks (Germany and the whole of Europe no longer accept dollars), so we can only buy American goods. Therefore, it is also in our own interest to maintain the safety of navigation north of the 42nd parallel. ”

He Yingqin smiled and shook his head. muttered: "It's just that doing so is about the same as declaring war on Japan." As he spoke, he handed Luo Yaoguo a stack of telegrams in his hand and said, "This is the telegram just sent, from New Delhi, and from the Central Committee of the Central Committee of Beiping. The content is similar, they all want to buy arms from us, and the scale is quite large. Among them, the Gandhi government wanted to buy 200 105mm howitzers, 500 57mm recoilless guns, 200,000 rounds of 105mm artillery shells, and 250,000 rounds of 57mm recoilless artillery shells; 150 A-2 light dive bombers, 100 F-3 fighters; 500 2.5-ton trucks, military jeeps, and wheeled light armored vehicles. 200 tanks 1 and 2 each, as well as 100 armored auxiliary vehicles of various kinds. 100,000 rounds of ammunition for Tank 1 and Tank 2 each; also wanted 5 light destroyers, 10 gunboats, 10 torpedo boats, 1 shallow water heavy gunboat; In addition, a total of 500,000 tonnes of petrol, diesel and jet fuel will be purchased...... There are about 2 billion fiat currency transactions, and all of them are paid for in gold!

It is said that the Chinese and G sides are procuring arms for the GC International South Asian Army, which is also intended to be used in India. However, the exact number was not stated in the telegram, and their chairman, Mr. Zhou Elai, would personally fly to Wuhan to discuss business with you, probably before lunch. ”

Luo Yaoguo read the telegram in his hand at a glance, and sighed: "Why bother, whether it is Gandhi or Lu Yi (Indian GCD), isn't it all to save the country?" Can't it be like us and Zhong G. Harmonious coexistence, let's work together to save the country and save the people? Now hundreds of thousands of troops are attacking each other, and it is the common people who suffer in the end! As he spoke, he sighed again, turned his head to He Yingqin and said, "Why don't we go and ask Mrs. Sun to come forward and mediate for India's Congress Party and GCD?" ”

He Yingqin glanced at Luo Yaoguo, who was compassionate, and also twisted his bald eyebrows, and sighed: "Who said it wasn't, it was born from the same root." Why is he too anxious to fry each other. After saying this, he paused and said: "Brother Fuwen, although we sincerely hope that the various factions in India can coexist in harmony, I am afraid that the contradictions between the various factions in India will be difficult to reconcile. If we don't sell arms to them, I'm afraid that we will be hated even more, right? And the production capacity of those military factories in the country is somewhat overcapacity...... No one expected that the world war would end so quickly, so this Indian market is still very important for depleting those excess military production capacity. ”

Hearing this, Luo Yaoguo was also silent. After a while, he nodded lightly: "I also know this truth, but we China are the leaders of the Eastern world. The makers of the new Asian order cannot be so irresponsible...... So be it. When we sell arms to the Indian National Congress and the GCD, we still have to find a way to mediate. Even if it doesn't work, it's always done its duty. After all, India's affairs still have to be solved by the Indian people themselves! After saying this, he instructed Xiao Yuhan, secretary general of the General Staff, to hang up the phone at the Xuangong Hotel and arrange a banquet for Zhou E to pick up the wind.

Then he dealt with some urgent documents, and went to the airport with Natalie, Ma Junwu, the minister in charge of arms trade, and Zeng Qi, the minister of colonial affairs, to the airport to greet Zhou Elai, who came from afar. After receiving Zhou Elai, on the way back to Wuhan City, Luo Yaoguo talked with Chairman Zhou of China and G, who was in a car with him, about the idea of mediating the contradictions between various factions in India.

"Brother E, I have received information that the civil war between the two parties in India is on the verge of breaking out, do you think that we, as the leading force in the Eastern world and the guide of the world revolution, should we now come forward to mediate and see if we can let the two parties in India sit down at the negotiating table and resolve their differences in a peaceful way?"

Hearing Luo Yaoguo's words, Zhou Elai felt very puzzled, wasn't this guy fanning the flames behind the scenes to provoke the war in India? Why do you have to mediate now? Could it be that there is some new anti-G conspiracy to use the peace talks to buy time for the Gandhi authorities...... It's not right, it seems that it takes more time to be the GC International South Runner-up now! (To be continued.)
