Chapter 1076: Master Pao's Calculation
Seeing that the cannon master was holding his grandson and smiling, Lin Sen couldn't help but be happy. Lin Sen has no children and no daughters all his life, and the older he gets, the more he has an extraordinary love for children.
When he was fighting for the right to name his child, Lao Lin almost got into a fight with Yan Zhengqing. The two old men didn't care that they were almost two hundred years old combined, and they were still noisy.
In the end, Zhang Shizhao, the minister of education of the coalition government, who was confused by the noise, had to come out to coordinate. The right to choose the name was given to Yan Zhengqing, but when he took the word in the future, Lin Sen came to take it.
This can be regarded as quelling the naming turmoil. And Tu Sancang, who was the child's own grandfather, was directly ignored. In the end, Zhang Shizhao couldn't bear it and asked him to give him a nickname.
As a result, Tu Sanpao lived up to expectations, and directly gave the doll the nickname of "eight catties" according to the number of catties born to the child.
The nickname of "eight catties" that everyone listened to couldn't help but be full of black lines. But looking at this grandfather who was full of joy, everyone also knew that if anyone dared to have any different opinions at this time, he would definitely have to be cleaned up if he provoked the old man who had just hugged his grandson.
Actually, Master Pao is not too old. Now it's just the age of forty and five, and it's still the year to fight. But Master Pao likes to call himself old in front of people. If anyone really thinks he is old, he is the biggest fool.
What old man can kill a bear with his bare hands?!
"Commander, I know it's not time to bother you. But now the Americans and the Soviets are in a hurry, you see this is a telegram from them......"
In Tu Mengben's study, Su Zongzhe smiled bitterly and handed Eisenhower's telegram to Tu Mengben. He knew that Tu Mengben's son had just been born, and he had a lot to do now.
But this telegram was so important that he had no right to decide not to give it to Tu Mengben.
Tu Mengben took the telegram and smiled slightly to comfort Su Zongzhe, and then looked at the telegram. The message was simply that Allied forces such as the U.S. and Soviets had sensed the movements of the Japanese Expeditionary Force. But their existing forces needed to be used to cope with the German onslaught.
Therefore, they were temporarily powerless to deal with the Japanese expeditionary force. Once Sugiyama and the expeditionary force are united, the Japanese army of more than 150,000 troops will pose a huge threat to the Allied flank in Moscow.
Therefore, Eisenhower, Montgomery, and Tukhachevsky, the three current top military commanders of the Allied forces in Moscow, jointly submitted a request to the Wehrmacht, asking the Wehrmacht to assume the responsibility of the Allied agreement and send their troops to the Soviet Union to stop the Japanese attack on Moscow.
Tu Menghu quickly finished reading the telegram, he smiled and said to Su Zongzhe: "Unexpectedly, as long as we end the Southeast Asian campaign, Britain and the United States will definitely want us to send troops to the Soviet Union." After all, now the German offensive is too fierce. If we hadn't sent someone to help them destroy the Germans' train guns, I'm afraid their current position would have been lost long ago......"
"Hahaha...... Is Ike's cub's telegram here?! I'll calculate the time, and the cub should be telegraphed! It was Pao Ye who spoke, and beside him was Federica, who was recovering from the postpartum period.
"Mu Ning girl, you take the cub back to rest first. What are you worried about during this time? Eat well, drink well, and raise white and fat. Pao Ye put his grandson in his daughter-in-law's arms and waved his hand.
Federica nodded obediently, hugged the child and walked out of the study with a red face. She knows exactly what she should do and when, and a woman's duty at this time is to take care of the children.
And these national affairs, let the men keep busy. Federica never doubted her husband's abilities, and she was confident that he would take care of everything.
As the German royal family's liaison in the imperial capital once said to Federica. This commander-in-chief can handle Sino-German relations well. And even now, although there is no longer contact between China and Germany, there is still contact behind the scenes.
"I'd better go! The son has just been born, and you have to spend more time with the child. Master Pao took the initiative to ask, and Yan Zhengqing, who walked in at this time, said with a smile.
"Three cannons~ You just hugged your grandson. Can't wait to go out again?! Tu Sanpao couldn't help but look sad when she heard this, where did she actually want to go?!
But isn't there no way?! Eisenhower, Montgomery, Tukhachevsky...... Wait, which one of these guys is the fuel-efficient lamp?!
The generals to be sent are not brainy enough, and they will definitely have to be played around by these guys. Maybe I'll have to be arrested and taken to Moscow. Only old foxes like Pao Ye and Tu Mengben can deal with it.
Two Li Zongren and Lu Han who are more suitable to deal with these old foxes. Now he is either in charge of Southeast Asia or holds an important position in the South China Military Region.
It is certainly impossible for the South China Military Region to be sent to fight in the Soviet Union, you must know that once the Soviet Union enters winter, it will be freezing and snowy! This is for southerners. It's devastating. Adaptation and cold are enough to cause large-scale non-combat attrition.
"Three artillery~ You don't have to worry about this, there is no shameless iron rooster in our national defense army......" Yan Zhengqing laughed, and said to Lao Tu Xiaotu: "Qi Mudeng's kid is about to grind his teeth now, if you don't let him out, then he will have to hit the wall to live!" ”
Only then did Tu Laohu remember Qi Mu Denglai, who had long been forgotten by him. Speaking of Lao Qi, this is also quite tragic, the domestic battlefield is easy to fight, and he begins to be idle.
Although he knew that it was not easy for the northern soldiers to go to fight in Southeast Asia, Qi Muden was still depressed for a while. In desperation, he could only practice the cubs below every day, waiting for orders from the general headquarters.
Northerners are not well adapted to the weather in the south, especially in Annam, which has a tropical and subtropical climate. In order to reduce non-combat attrition, the National Defense Forces have specially mobilized the South China and Southwest China Military Regions to take charge of combat missions in the Southeast Asian theater.
"That's right...... Qi Mudeng, this kid, that shit, can't wait to grab an extra piece of himself, but it's suitable to mess around with Ike......" Master Cannon said, thinking of Qi Mudeng's shameless personality again, he couldn't help laughing.
In order to grab artillery, Qi Muden once shouted that whoever robbed him would fight with whomever he wanted. While putting on his old qualifications, this king and eight calves threatened to fight with others by force.
It can be said that he is unscrupulous in order to earn benefits for himself.
"If you let him go, it may not let Lao Ai and them take advantage of anything......" Pao Ye pondered for a while and said, "Junzi, what do you think?!" It fits. Just call the boy and ask. I think it's done. ”
Although Tu Laohu likes the word "Meng Ben" very much, he habitually calls Tu Meng Ben "Junzi" after people. This is a nickname exclusive to him and those former Northeast Army officers.
Yang Yuting called it that, and Yan Zhengqing called it so too.
"But I think Liang Dashan's kid is good." At this time, Chief of Staff Su Zongzhen also spoke, but saw him facing a few people: "Qi Muden has the ability to toss, but he lacks calmness." When we sent people to fight in the Soviet Union, many times what we asked for was a stable word. If you can't stabilize it, it's easy to lose......"
Everyone nodded, and that was true. If it can't be stabilized. It's easy to fall for the tricks of those old foxes. After all, this was an outbound operation, and it was a joint operation with other Allied forces.
And in this kind of situation of going abroad and cooperating with the war, if you don't have a flexible mind and a calm personality, you can easily suffer.
"Hehehe...... I said Qiliu~ Don't look at Qi Mudeng's kid who seems to have a broken personality, but he has a lot of flowers and intestines in his stomach. Yan Zhengqing pushed his glasses and said, "And." He has been a senior commander for so many years, and he must be very proficient in handling this kind of relationship......"
"Liang Dashan is not bad, but now we still need to focus on monitoring the North Korean side. I don't think the Japanese will stop there, and although their fleet is not able to sail far, it is still possible to attack Korea and our coastline near Japan......"
Su Zongzhen nodded when he heard this, he himself had this consideration. The Japanese fleet is temporarily unable to attack, and I am afraid that it will be in the form of small forces in the future.
But that's not to say they can't pose a threat to the Wehrmacht, the long coastline exposes the Wehrmacht to too many vulnerable nodes. The Japanese could carry out a surprise attack on any of these nodes, and they did not need to land on them, but only the attack would cause great trouble for the coalition government.
And this time. It would take a calm enough general to take charge of North Korea's defenses. There is little to worry about the defense of the homeland, and the Wehrmacht has a large number of elite soldiers. They will accomplish this task.
And if North Korea is out of control and often harassed by Japan, then no one can guarantee what will happen.
"Let Qi Muden come over!" Tu Mengben smiled slightly, and remembered the man who always liked to play tricks with himself. But I don't know how much exercise I've been doing during this time. What kind of person will he become?
"The North China Military Region has been fully reorganized, and the Northeast Military Region has been assigned to the Korean Theater to intensify training." Tu Menghu paused and said, "Especially the landing operation!" Let them be ready, ready to go to war at any time! ”
"Yes!!" Before the order is given. There may be a lot of debate. But once the order is given, then the whole Wehrmacht will follow it. At all costs. Complete the task.
Soon, Qi Muden was summoned to the headquarters of the Imperial Defense Forces to stand by. At the same time, all members of the North China Military Region stopped returning from leave and returned to the team within a time limit.
As the unit with the strongest combat effectiveness under Tu Menghu and the unit that has followed Tu Menghu for the longest time, the North China Military Region assembled at the location that had been set as fast as possible......
"The Tiger has promised that he will send his strongest troops to stop the Japanese army." Eisenhower smiled and slapped a telegram on the table, and said to Patton, Montgomery, and others: "He did send the most capable unit under his command at present: the North China Military Region of the Chinese Defense Force." ”
As Eisenhower, who once grew up with the Wehrmacht in the Wehrmacht, how could he not know the origin of the North China Military Region?! The predecessor of this military region was the most primitive Wehrmacht unit under Tu Menghu.
The composition of this army is completely in the style of slaughtering tigers, fierce, swift, and cunning! They once routed the Japanese and Soviet troops between the white mountains and black waters.
He also used to be the main force on the Chinese battlefield to expel all the Japanese troops from China. As the oldest unit of the Wehrmacht to follow the Tiger Slaughter, they have a brilliant enough record and a proud enough capital.
Those who can enter this army are the elite of the elite. And all the Wehrmacht soldiers have sharpened their heads and want to enter this old strong army.
"If it's the North China Military Region, then this tiger is really bloody!" Tukhachevsky nodded with satisfaction and said, "This unit is indeed the most capable unit in the Wehrmacht. ”
The Soviet Union has never stopped collecting intelligence on the Wehrmacht, and they have never stopped analyzing the Wehrmacht's combat effectiveness. Between Trotsky and Stalin. Or one of the few things in common is to see the Tiger of the Far East as a great enemy.
Even though everyone has become a member of the allies, they have not stopped analyzing the fighting power of this tiger and the Wehrmacht.
From the analysis of the combat achievements of various military regions, the battle losses of previous battles, and the ability to withstand pressure under the difficult combat environment, there is no doubt that this unit that started as a tiger slaughterer is extremely conspicuous.
"But...... Isn't the commander of the North China Military Region directly served by Tu Menghu?! Is he going to come to the USSR to fight in person?! Tukhachevsky's words suddenly leaked his bottom to the bottom, if it wasn't for some understanding, how would he know who the commander of the North China Military District of the Wehrmacht is?!
Eisenhower glanced at Tukhachevsky meaningfully and said, "This time it is Qi Muden, the former commander of the East China Military Region, who has come here. He will be transferred to the post of commander of the North China Military Region, and then most of the North China Military Region will be reorganized with a part of the Korean Military Region to form the 'Chinese National Defense Force to the Soviet Expeditionary Force'. The commander of this expeditionary force. It's Qimuden. ”
Tukhachevsky knew that he had lost his words, but he smiled and did not say anything more.
"And the chief of staff of this expeditionary force is Joseph. Stilwell. ”
Looking at Tukhachevsky's face, Eisenhower said this with a smile. Although Tukhachevsky's face did not change when he heard this, a huge wave had already stirred up in his heart.
It seems that it was not only the Soviet Union that regarded China as an imaginary enemy. In fact, China also regarded the Soviet Union as an imaginary enemy. The deepening of their cooperation with the United States and their intentional or unintentional containment of the Soviet Union all showed this attitude.
Immediately, Tukhachevsky smiled bitterly in his heart. This is understandable, and there have been many disputes between China and Russia in history. The two sides have extremely difficult differences on territorial identity.
And successive tsars, even later Soviets, constantly pinned their hopes on the annexation of Chinese territory. As a result, this neighbor is extremely hostile to him.
Of course, Tukhachevsky also had to admit that it was true that the Slavs did not have any good intentions towards China. This situation. Unless there is a unilateral and invincible enemy on both sides, this hostility may be reduced.
Now, for example, the Axis powers have seriously threatened the very existence of both countries. At this time, they will put aside a certain amount of hostility and unite temporarily. But in the end. Both sides knew that they would not be true allies of each other.
Unless, one day one party succumbs and willingly takes the other as the main thing. But this is too difficult for both Russia and China.
"Uncle Qi, this time you just need to block the Japanese. Before Moscow did not decide the winner. Sugiyama Moto: They still need to live. ”
In the office of the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht Command, Tu Menghu smiled and said to his former boss, a veteran of the Wehrmacht: "Actually. This time it was also arranged by my father. If we don't get the Japanese to the Soviet Union, we'll have to get involved in that meat grinder in Moscow. ”
"The Germans had amassed more than 1.5 million troops outside Moscow, and although the Allies now had the upper hand, they had not been able to break through the German positions. The strangulation of both sides has caused hundreds of thousands of casualties. I don't want our Wehrmacht soldiers to fill this hole, and we'll end up when they're almost done......"
Qi Muden laughed heavily, like an old fox who had stolen a hen.
"Commander, don't worry! I know what to do, those foreign devils want to use our Wehrmacht as a gunman, and I definitely won't be fooled. Sugiyama Moto's side, let him live a few more days. It's good to cure Lao Maozi, they didn't do a lot of evil in our northeast back then, and it's time to repay the debt. ”
As soon as he heard the beginning of this incident, he completely guessed the thoughts of the top brass of the Wehrmacht. Even the thought of killing people with a knife in Tu Sanpao's heart, he guessed it.
The first person that Pao Ye slaughtered back then was an old man who harmed the people in the northeast. It can be said that Master Pao naturally has no good impression of Lao Maozi.
And the virtues of those scumbags have long been completely exposed. This is a group of pure natural beasts, as long as they are driven to the end of the road, the virtues of these sons will be brought into full play.
Without the Wehrmacht's action, the scumbags would have destroyed their Soviet-occupied territories. When the time comes, even if the Soviets are calculating, they will not be able to hate the Wehrmacht, and it is those who will harm the Soviet Union. The Wehrmacht didn't do anything.
Moreover, those old hairy men have to be grateful to the Wehrmacht, at least on the surface. Anyway, the Wehrmacht sent troops on an expedition to help them fight. No matter how you fight, after all, you are sending troops.
The top brass of the Wehrmacht had already calculated that they were going to borrow this knife from the Japanese to clean up the old hair. Sugiyama Moto, on the other hand, has no choice.
The Japanese retreat had been cut off, which meant that they would not receive any support. To put it simply, they can only replenish their supplies on the spot. And the way to replenish on the spot is to burn and loot.
If the Southern Army could not reach Moscow before its ammunition was exhausted, and received supplies from the German army, then the Japanese army would be abandoned.
