Office of Umezu Mijiro of the Kwantung Army Command in Mukden

"Report to the general, there is a new news from our garrison stationed in Heihe, there is a major general from Soviet Russia who has escaped from Hailan Pao, and he claims to have brought an important news and wants to see you!"

"Nani? Major General of Soviet Russia, what's wrong with him? What do you want to tell me? Umezu Mijiro asked curiously.

"I'm sorry, he didn't say it until he saw you in person." The staff officer bowed his head and apologized.

"Alright, bring him in!" Umezu Mijiro was curious to see what news a general of the Soviet army could have that he was interested in.

"Hey!" The staff officer withdrew.

After a while, a forty-year-old Soviet major general walked in, and after seeing Umezu Mijiro sitting in front of the office, he first stood up and saluted, and then said in Japanese soldiers: "Major General Valentin, political commissar of the 126th Division of the Far Eastern Military District of Soviet Russia, greets you and wishes you good health!" ”

"Hello, Major General Valentin, I didn't expect you to be able to speak Japanese, this is really rare." Umezu Mijiro asked with interest.

Valentin said with a wry smile: "If you work in the Far Eastern Military District and do not know Japanese and Chinese, then you are not a competent political commissar. ”

"Hahaha" Umezu Mijiro laughed, where is he still like a commander of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese army, just like an ordinary old man who has not seen his friend for many years.

"It seems that you are already a competent political commissar."

Hearing Umezu Mijiro's praise, Major General Valenkyo smiled bitterly, "I don't dare to do this, if I did, I wouldn't have been driven here like a water dog." ”

Umezu Mijiro just smiled silently, he reached out and made a gesture of invitation, inviting the other party to sit down. When Major General Valentin sat down, he reached for a cup of tea and made a gesture of invitation.

Major General Valenjing was not polite, he took the teacup and swallowed it with a sip of tea and water, and after drinking, he still looked unsatisfied.

"Major General Valentin must have suffered a lot along the way, right?" Umezu Mijiro smiled and refilled another cup of tea for Major General Valenkin, looking serene, as if entertaining a familiar old friend.

"Bitter!" Major General Valengin laughed miserably and shook his head, if he hadn't run fast the day before yesterday, he would have been caught by the Chahar army, even so, he was the only one of the dozen or so political commissars who crossed the river with him swam across the river, and the rest were buried at the bottom of the river.

"Mr. Umezu Mijiro, you and I are both soldiers, and we Russians don't like to beat around the bush when we speak, so I'll tell you straight. I need a sum of money now, enough money for me to live the rest of my life in the West. This money is only a xiǎo amount for you, and in exchange for it, I will provide you with an update on the movements of the Chahar army and a perfect opportunity for you to expand your territory. After speaking, Major General Valengin drank the tea in his hand.

"Oh, then please tell me more!" Umezu Mijiro remained silent, lifted the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Major General Valenkyon.

'Hmph, another guy who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle. Major General Valengin cursed in his heart, but he also knew that there was an old and cunning guy sitting in front of him, who did not have enough benefits, and these stingy Japanese would not give him even a penny.

"Well, to put it simply, Chahar's expeditionary force has occupied Hailan Pao and is now heading towards Vladivostok, and if nothing else, they will reach Vladivostok in ten days."

"Nani! The people of China are going to occupy Vladivostok? Rao is Umezu Mijiro, who boasted that he was facing Tarzan in front of him, and he couldn't help but stand up in surprise. The news came too suddenly, damn it, did the Imperial agents in Soviet Russia all eat poop?

'Hmph, you xiǎo Japan, I thought you didn't care about anything? Major General Valentin, who secretly despised himself in his heart, had a solemn face, "The news is true, the day before yesterday they had already occupied Hailan Pao, and it is estimated that they are now on their way to Vladivostok, that is, Vladivostok, Mr. Umezu Mijiro, this news should be of some use to you, right?" ”

"Naturally, naturally, Major General Valentin, you are a friend of the Great Japanese Empire, and the Great Japanese Empire has always been very generous to friends." Umezu Mijiro nodded again and again, reaching out and pouring another cup of tea for Major General Valenkin. looked at Major General Valenkyin again, and listened to what news he could say, but this time this Russian guy did not say a word after saying the above words, just like Xu Shu entered Cao Ying in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of China.

Umezu Mijiro knew that the other party was waiting for him to make an offer, so he laughed and said, "As for Mr. Valenkin's request, as long as the news you say is accurate, the empire is ready to give you 500,000 yen, what do you think?" ”

Major General Valentin nodded, "Yes, but I don't want yen, I want 500,000 US dollars." And you're going to help me get a Japanese passport and take care of sending me to Switzerland. ”

"Yo Xi, of course you can, you just have to rest assured, the Great Japanese Empire is talking about drops!" Umezu Mijiro nodded repeatedly, 500,000 US dollars is indeed an astronomical amount for ordinary people, but it is nothing for a country.

"Well, that's good, I'll tell you about Vradine, Vladivostok's troop deployment and fleet situation now......" After receiving Umezu Mijiro's assurance, Rear Admiral Valenkyin also happily poured beans into the bamboo tube and told everything he knew.

"Yo Xi, Mr. Valenkin, you are this of the Great Japanese Empire!" Umezu Mijiro smiled and gave a thumbs up to Major General Valentin. "You go down to rest first, take us to verify the news, and then give you the money, you can rest assured."

As soon as Umezu Mijiro clapped his hands, a guard came in from outside the house and took Major General Valentin down.

After sending off Major General Valentin, Umezu Mijiro immediately grabbed the phone and called the intelligence agency of the Kwantung Army, and after a reprimand and order, he sat down in a chair panting.

The news brought by Rear Admiral Valentin today is too shocking, and everyone knows the consequences of the occupation of Vladivostok by Chahar, which is not only a natural ice-free port, but also the station of the Pacific Fleet of Soviet Russia, if the expeditionary force is allowed to occupy Vladivostok. and Chahar from both sides to attack the three eastern provinces, even fools know the consequences.

No, this matter must be reported to the base camp to know, and after a while, Umezu Mijiro personally drafted a telegram and summoned the communications staff officer to tell him to send this telegram himself.

Zhangjiakou Chahar Aviation School

Chahar Aviation School was founded in early 1936, when the school was founded with only a few teachers and a few dilapidated houses poached from the former Northeast Aviation School. However, with Su Tong's unsparing support and Gao Zhihang's efforts, after two years of crazy construction, the Northeast Aviation School now has more than 300 instructors with rich practical experience, more than 3,000 ground staff and more than 5,000 students.

The current scale of Chahar Aviation School can be said to be a first-class flight school not only in Asia, but also in the world.

Moreover, under the call of Su Tong's slogan of '10,000 pilots', Chahar also established branches in Ningxia and Qinghai three months ago. In short, their goal is to achieve what Commander Su said, to be able to provide enough excellent pilots for the Chahar Air Force in a timely manner, to make up for as many losses as possible, and only more and not less.

At this time, Su Tong and Gao Zhihang stood in the flight, watching the junior students practice taking off and landing over and over again under the leadership of the instructor under the scorching sun above their heads.

After a long time, Su Tong spoke. "Ziheng, I came to you today to ask for someone."

"I know." Gao Zhihang smiled, "As soon as you come, I will know your purpose, let's say, how much do you want this time?" ”

"As many as you want!" Su Tongzheng said: "I plan to set up two more naval divisions and a bombing group, so at least five to six hundred excellent academies are needed. Can you give it to me? Su Tong looked at Gao Zhihang with anticipation, he knew that there were still three months before the graduation of the latest batch of pilots, but now he had no time to wait.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zhihang smiled this time, Gao Zhihang said a little proudly: "Of course there is, I knew that you never do things according to common sense, fortunately, I was prepared, and I just finished teaching the two advanced classes in advance a few days ago, so as not to be attacked by you again."

"Brother Ziheng still understands me!" Su Tong looked at Gao Zhihang, didn't say anything, and his eyes were full of tears.

"You!" Gao Zhihang looked at the supreme governor of Chahar in front of him with a wry smile, this chief is sometimes like a xiǎo child. Shaking his head, Gao Zhihang, who decided not to worry about this question anymore, asked, "The headquarters is going to set up HNA?" But we don't have a navy yet."

As soon as he heard this, Su Tong's face quickly darkened!

Navy, the eternal pain in the heart of this Chinese man, is like a thorn in the heart of the Chinese soldier. There is no navy after Beiyang, this shame has always been in Su Tong's heart like a thorn in his heart, even in later generations, Huaxia's navy is at best only a regional xìng quality coastal defense type force, when will Huaxia's navy be able to ride the wind to break through the five continents and four oceans that làng travels.

Seeing that Su Tong's face was not very good, Gao Zhihang knew that this sentence stung Su Tong, and he was also secretly scolding himself in his heart, why don't you open a pot and mention it, Chief Su has built such a huge army and air force in less than three years. I still want to pick on his thorns, is the navy so easy to establish, although I am only working in the air force, but I still understand the truth of the ten-year army and the hundred-year navy.

"Brother Ziheng, don't worry, I am here to assure you that we Huaxia people will also have our own navy!" At this time, Su Tong turned around and promised Gao Zhihang
