Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Weiwen, your statement is not accurate, Wenge's annihilation of the Soviet army's troops on the Western Front in one fell swoop in this battle is definitely not a basic solution to the Northeast issue, but has completely solved the border war between China and the Soviet Union caused by the Middle East Road." The reason for this is that although the Soviets continued to increase their troops to the Far East, they only gathered 1120,000 troops on the border in half a year, including the troops of the puppet Mongolian army such as the Yulibriat-Mongol cavalry division. ”

"There are two main reasons for this, one is that the focus of the Soviets' defense is not in the Far East, but in Europe. This is because, for hundreds of years since the Yuan Dynasty, the ancestors of the Soviets not only went out of Europe, but also crossed the Ural Mountains and seized a large amount of land in Central Asia and the Far East. ”

This is not the case in Europe, where they have been at war with their European neighbors for hundreds of years, and have deep grievances with Austria-Hungary, Sweden, and now Germany, except for the First World War, because of the revolution in their country, and they voluntarily withdrew from the war with land reparations. They did not take advantage of the rest of the wars, as far as 1812, when Napoleon's French army invaded Moscow; More recently, in 1920, they fought a war with Poland, which had just separated from the Soviet Union, and the Poles invaded Kyiv, and even Western Ukraine and Belarus were annexed to Poland. Moreover, the Soviets will not forget that it was precisely because of the support of the Western powers that the rebellion of the White Guards came about. ”

In addition, Soviet Russia is now forcibly building collective farms in the country, which has met with strong resistance from the peasants, and this year's grain output has fallen sharply short, which has already caused a great famine in the country. According to the information sent back by Wenge, the Soviet army launched a military operation in the Far East this time, and even asked workers to donate money to buy planes and tanks, and even farmers who were already short of food. ”

All this determined that Soviet Russia was no longer capable of continuing to make a big move in the Far East. Even if SDL was desperate to come up with such a bad breath and transfer troops from Europe to the Far East, it would be half a year later. And in doing so, he is playing into the hands of the Western powers, and as long as this war drags on, they will have big internal trouble. According to Jiang Zuobin's call, there have been small-scale peasant uprisings in the country, and it is said that hundreds of thousands of peasants who wanted to keep their land have been killed. ”

"In the early stage, the Western powers only issued verbal statements in support of us in the dispute with Soviet Russia, because they believed that we were not the opponent of the Soviet army, but now it is different, Wenge has told them with his actions that our National Revolutionary Army can compete with the Soviet army. I have instructed all embassies and consulates abroad to actively engage with the Great Powers to request assistance. I believe that the great powers will be happy to lend a helping hand to any war that is capable of waging war against Soviet Russia, a country that believes in GCISM. ”

Chiang Kai-shek took a sip of water and continued: "There is another reason, that is, we can now attack on the Western Front at any time, cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway, the most important artery of Soviet Russia in the Far East, cut off the supply of military and civilian troops to millions of square kilometers of land in the Far East, and directly threaten their military presence in the Far East." Soviet Russia would not and would not dare to take this risk. ”

"Although the Soviet army under the command of General Gallen won victory on the Eastern Front, the Soviet Army on the Eastern Front was also part of the Special Army of the Red Banner in the Far East, and the strength of this army group was drawn from the Transbaikal Military District and the Far Eastern Primorsky Naval District, and his strength was very limited. The troops of the Transbaikal Military District have already been emptied by him, and he does not dare to transfer the troops of the Primorsky Military District. You must know that not only did he fight with the army of Tsarist Russia in the Russo-Russian War that year, but he was also in the vanguard when the 14 countries supported Kolchak's White Guards in Siberia ten years ago and intervened in the civil war of Soviet Russia. If it had not been for the fact that the Western powers had not stopped for various reasons, they would never have withdrawn from Siberia. ”

Therefore, Gallen did not dare to mobilize the Soviet troops in Vladivostok, and to protect the safety of the Trans-Siberian Railway, Gallen could only be drawn from the few troops on the Eastern Front, but it was absolutely impossible for him to cobble together 60,000 people, and the best case scenario was 10,000 or 20,000 troops stationed in Chita. There is nothing they can do about Manchuria. And after the Soviet army transferred part of its troops of less than 60,000 men on the Eastern Front, it would also be insufficient and would take a defensive position on the Eastern Front. To change this situation, the Soviet army can only draw troops from the European side, and if the Soviet army wants to maintain a strategic offensive posture, it will need at least 200,000 troops. Therefore, the problem of the northeast has been completely solved after the First World War in Manchuria. ”

Chiang Kai-shek said with great regret: "It's just that after this battle, General Gallen's military career may come to an end, and once the situation is stabilized, what awaits him is a military tribunal." He was an outstanding Soviet general, a very sensible man and a very good friend. The most unusual thing was that he showed no sign of Bolshevik. ”

Among the people present, except for Wang Zhengting, everyone else knew that Chiang Kai-shek cooperated with Gallen very happily in Guangzhou, and he himself admired Gallen's talent very much, so much so that before the Nanchang Uprising, he also invited Gallen to stay in Nanjing to help him.

Chiang Kai-shek's analysis of the Soviet army, everyone thinks it is very reasonable, these words before Song Zhewu's Fourth Route Army went to the northeast, Chiang Kai-shek also expressed, but at that time, no one could have imagined that they could annihilate tens of thousands of Soviet troops in one fell swoop, they believe that even Chiang Kai-shek would never have thought that Chiang Kai-shek, including them, just wanted to make the Soviet army pay as much as possible, so that Soviet Russia would retreat.

But now it is different, they all fully agree with Chiang Kai-shek's statement, that is, even if Soviet Russia wants to continue to fight and save their face, it is no longer powerless. Wang Zhengting had even prepared a draft in his mind, and was ready to suggest to Chiang Kai-shek the conditions for the negotiations that the Chinese side should deal with when Soviet Russia proposed negotiations.

Seeing that everyone in the room agreed with his analysis, Chiang Kai-shek walked to the table, picked up another telegram, and said with confidence: "The great victory in Manchuria is very timely and necessary for the national political axe. This victory not only boosted the morale of our National Revolutionary Army, but also greatly boosted the morale of the people, and made the Western powers, including Soviet Russia, no longer dare to underestimate us, this great victory let them know a fact, that is, our China is a big country, by no means those small states whose land area is not as large as one of our provinces, as long as we are given a few more decades, we will be even stronger, in time, even the restoration of the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties is not entirely a dream. ”

At this, Chiang Kai-shek's lips not only put a smile on his lips, but he also remembered the surprised expression of the German just now.
