On the third day after the guidelines for the defense of North Korea were determined, Chang Ruiqing flew to Pyongyang, where North Korean military and political officials and Chinese diplomatic and military officials in Pyongyang gathered at the airport to greet him.

In fact, North Korea, a small country, and the guānxi of the Greater China Federation are not as good as outsiders might think. After the ceasefire of the Sino-Japanese War in 1923 and before the formation of the Great China Federation in 1925, Nanjing made a request to Pyongyang for a "Sino-Korean alliance". However, all of them were politely rejected by the government of the Republic of Korea, and at the same time, Pyongyang's requests for assistance were often rejected by Chang Ruiqing, and Chang Ruiqing refused to help them recover the southern territories occupied by Japan.

What is even more unacceptable to Pyongyang is that on the territory of the Great China Federation, the Japanese, also known as the He, have always had higher treatment than Korean nationals, which is a matter of course from a legal point of view, the Japanese are citizens of the Federation, while Koreans are foreign nationals, and the vast majority of countries on Shijiè will not treat foreigners more than their own citizens, at least in bourgeois constitutional states. However, in Pyongyang's view, the Chinese treat ziji like "the heart of self-destruction" is immortal.

Therefore, in the past two years, although China and South Korea seem to be relatively warm on the surface, they are actually very cold. And at the moment when the catastrophe is approaching, the hearts of high-level figures in Pyongyang are also full of contradictions. On the one hand, they are definitely no match for the Japanese, and they must rely on China's support to maintain their national independence. On the other hand. They were also afraid that China would easily turn the Republic of Korea into part of the Great China Commonwealth after defeating the Japanese invading army, and in fact Chang Ruiqing did have this in mind......

Obviously, China and South Korea are allies. is also playing a small abacus, but at the airport, everyone méiyou broke it, but a very friendly handshake and greeting. Chang Ruiqing delivered a short speech in front of reporters from China and South Korea, and then went in the same car with Zhao Sanmei, the "godsister" of the then South Korean President Chi Daheng and Chi Daheng.

In the car, Chi Daheng first gave Chang Ruiqing a brief introduction to the current situation in North Korea, mainly military mobilization and preparations, and when he heard that the South Korean government began to evacuate residents north of the 38th parallel, Chang Ruiqing nodded slightly to express his appreciation.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister has Shime on your mind?" Chi Tycoon asked tentatively.

Chang Ruiqing grinned. Sighing softly, he turned his gaze to the streets of Pyongyang outside the car window to welcome his visit. The North Korean government organized an unprecedented welcome ceremony, with streets lined with costumed Pyongyang citizens waving flowers and placards, as well as Chinese and South Korean flags.

"Prime Minister, the shape near the 38th line is getting more and more nervous. There are signs of increasing the number of troops in the Japanese. The frequency of fire reconnaissance has also become more intensive than before, and General Adviser Zhu and I of your country (Zhu Peide) both believe that this is a precursor to a large-scale Japanese attack. Chi Tycoon continued to probe.

Chang Ruiqing still méiyou spoke, Chi Tycoon glanced at Zhao Sanmei who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, and she turned her head to look at Chang Ruiqing from Shihou, who started talking from Chi Tycoon. Noticing the eyes of "god brother", Zhao Sanmei chuckled lightly and interjected: "Brother Tycoon, there is a gentleman to support you." What are you afraid of the Japanese? ”

"Hmph," Chang Ruiqing snorted heavily. glanced at Zhao Sanmei coldly. "San'er, you don't have to say anything about national affairs. The current shape shì is very serious, yijing is not a problem of one place on the Korean Peninsula, but the whole shijiè is preparing for war! He turned his head to look at Chi Tycoon, "President Chi, after arriving in Pyongyang City, I will tell you in detail that this battle is much more brutal than we imagined, Baeksan (Chi Tycoon), I am afraid you must be prepared for a hard battle." ”

Chi Tycoon was suddenly shocked in his heart, thinking of this news of the expansion of armaments from China, Germany, the Soviet Union, Japan and other countries, zhidào is really going to fight the Shijiè War this time, and the Korean Peninsula is the fuse of the Second Shijiè War!

Chang Ruiqing has Ziji's residence in Pyongyang City, a newly built Western-style garden house, next to the Chinese Embassy in North Korea and the Chinese Military Advisory Group in North Korea, with a sign "Zhao Mansion" hanging at the door. However, the citizens of Pyongyang call this place "Cho Concubine Palace". The area of the "Zhao Concubine Palace" is large enough to accommodate Chang Ruiqing's entourage, and the Chinese military advisory group in North Korea has dispatched a company of guards (the Chinese National Defense Force) to guard the periphery, and there are more South Korean troops guarding the periphery.

Among Chang Ruiqing's attachés, the most important is of course General Peng Dhuai, who is about to become the head of the Chinese General Staff Advisory Group, but Zhu Peide's post of head of the Military Advisory Group was not removed, in fact, Chang Ruiqing wanted the two to partner in command of the South Korean Defense Forces.

After arriving at the "Zhao Concubine Palace", Chang Ruiqing did not care about resting, and immediately summoned Zhu Peide, a high-level North Korean leader and head of the Chinese military advisory group in North Korea. After they arrived at the "Concubine Zhao Palace", Chang Ruiqing Yijing waited in a makeshift war room.

"Shi Chuan, can you introduce the current situation."

In the war room were not only Peng Dhuai, but also Hu Zongnan and Zhou Zhirou, both of whom were Peng Dhuai's assistants, the former was responsible for teaching the South Korean army tank and anti-tank combat skills, and the latter was now a major general of the Air Force, responsible for training the South Korean Air Force and air defense forces. Peng Dhuai's introduction was very detailed, informing the North Korean generals and Zhu Peide of Trotsky's plots, the contradictions between Japan and the Soviet Union, and the actions that Takeda Heng was about to take.

"Damn Kim Hyung-gil!"

Peng Dhuai's voice fell, and someone scolded him in Korean, Chang Ruiqing turned his head and found that it was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, Zhao Sanmei leaned in his ear and told him that this person was South Korean Vice President Syngman Rhee, a Miao descendant of the Li Dynasty, who had studied in the United States and was a representative of the pro-American faction in the South Korean government.

Chi Daheng sighed softly and signaled Syngman Rhee not to get excited. "Kim Hyung-gi is also involuntarily, he is just a puppet in the hands of Trotsky, and the key to this war is actually the two battlefields of China and the Soviet Union and Germany, and South Korea and Japan are just supporting roles."

"Premier Chang, North Korea is the barrier of China's northeastern southern route. It is a springboard for Japan to attack China, and if Ruguo Korea is destroyed, China will be in the middle of the attack of the Soviet Union and Japan! Rhee took a deep breath. Steady dìng ziji's feelings, and then shouted to Chang Ruiqing in Chinese. "Please immediately send reinforcements to South Korea and pool the strength of our two countries to drive the Japanese invaders into the sea!"

"Of course, I will not allow the Korean Peninsula to be completely controlled by Japan." Chang Ruiqing is very calm, his mind has been thinking about how to use North Korea to the maximum extent to delay and weaken Japan, and he can't weaken Japan too much, otherwise the world of Japan's GCD will be very unsafe. And the government of New Japan did not participate in the Second Shijiè War anymore.

"It's not yet the shihou to dispatch the Chinese Defense Forces, and hundreds of thousands of South Korean Defense Forces must play their due role," Peng Dhuai said coldly: "Otherwise." What is the value of the military and economic assistance we have provided over the years? ”

"The ROK Defense Forces must be ready to defend Pyongyang, and tell our Korean friends about your plan." Chang Ruiqing doesn't want to argue with Koreans, and Koreans are also qualified to argue with Ziji Shime.

Peng Dhuai said with a calm face: "President Chi, Vice President Li, and Premier Kim. Our plan is to concentrate all our efforts on defending Pyongyang, the capital of the Republic of Korea! ”

"Defend Pyongyang? Isn't it the 38th line? Chi Tycoon asked hesitantly.

Peng Dhuai nodded: "Yes." It's Pyongyang. We believe that with the strength of the Korean ** team, the Méiyou method is the safest way to hold the 38th parallel and retreat to Pyongyang, and it is also the tactic that can kill and damage the Japanese army to the greatest extent. ”

"But...... What about the millions of Koreans north of the 38th parallel? Do you let the enemy ravage you? ”

"The old and weak, women and children can temporarily withdraw to China, and the young and strong should all take up arms and prepare for battle!" Chang Ruiqing stood up and said loudly: "This is the obligation of the free people!" Our country will provide you with a qiēkěnéng assistance, but not kěnéng will fight completely in your place...... At the very least, you have to defend the capital of Ziji. ”

Hearing this, several North Korean leaders in the room all looked at each other, silent and did not speak. Chang Ruiqing added in a calm voice: "As long as you can complete this task, it proves that the people of the Republic of Korea have the determination and courage to defend the motherland of Ziji." Then I promise to help you drive the Japanese invaders out of Korean soil, and China and South Korea will be friendly neighbors for generations to come. ”

This time, a few Koreans were tempted. "Of course, we have the determination to defend Pyongyang, but the loss of abandoning the 38th parallel is too great for the South Korean economy to bear......

Seeing that Chi Tycoon was struggling, Chang Ruiqing smiled at him and said, "There is no need to worry about this, we will send enough food to Pyongyang for 500,000 people to eat for two years, and weapons, ammunition and other military supplies will also be prepared for you." Just keep the city in peace. ”

Ji Daheng and several high-ranking South Korean figures exchanged glances with each other and smiled bitterly: "In this case, we people are ready to live and die in Pyongyang City." ”

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Chang Ruiqing's mouth. Trotsky was intent on elevating the Korean Takeda Heng to the presidency of the Japanese GCD, in order to turn Japan into cannon fodder to contain China. And Ziji used Takeda Heng's compatriots as cannon fodder to resist his Great Japanese Red Army, really isn't Takeda Heng in a shime mood after getting the news?

Subsequently, Chang Ruiqing announced the decision to adjust the Chinese military advisory group in North Korea, and the staff advisory group led by Peng Dhuai will be merged with the military advisory group. Peng himself served as the head of the military advisory group, and Zhu Peide was the deputy. Chang Ruiqing also proposed to the ROK side to "build yì" and have General Peng Dhuai of the Chinese National Defense Forces serve as chief of the General Staff of the ROK National Defense Forces.

After the day's meeting, Peng Dhuai took over the General Staff of the ROK Army and began to reformulate the ROK Army's operational and training plans.

Chang Ruiqing and Méiyou participated in the formulation of the North Korean defense plan again, but instead asked Ji Daheng and Jin Jiu to have tea on the rooftop of the "Zhao Concubine Palace". When the president and prime minister of North Korea walked up to the rooftop, they saw Jang Guotao also sitting at a Western-style round table, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Both of them know Zhang Guotao, the head of the secret service, Chi Daheng has often visited China in the past two years, and he met Zhang Guotao in China, while Jin Jiu knew Zhang Guotao in his early years in Moscow because he is the chairman of the North Korean GCD. But this time, they didn't see Zhang Guotao at the airport, and they also saw Zhang Guotao's name in Chang Ruiqing's entourage list, and they didn't even know how the spy leader entered North Korea.

Chang Ruiqing beckoned the two North Koreans to sit down, and then ordered Zhao San to make coffee and bring it up. "This is coffee produced on Hainan Island in my country. Brother Bai Shan, Brother Bai Fan (Jin Jiu), you all come and taste it. ”

The two North Koreans are confused, and Chang Ruiqing is not going to do shime. It's not like you're panicking and inviting the two of them to come and have a coffee chat with them, right? However, the two still took a sip of coffee, although Jin Jiu had been in the Soviet Union for a while, but he was a dirt bun, he never drank coffee, he only felt bitter and astringent, méiyoushime taste. Chi Tycoon has been a Japanese non-commissioned officer, and his life style is much more Western. After tasting it, I nodded and praised it repeatedly. It is said that the taste of this Hainan coffee is far more than that of Brazilian and Colombian coffees.

Chang Ruiqing shook his head: "It's just that the taste is different, it's different who is up and who is down, but as far as my personal preference is concerned." I still like to drink South American coffee. It's just a big war, but I'm afraid that it will be a long time before I can drink coffee from the Americas, so I have to find a way to get used to the coffee on Hainan Island first. ”

"Well, that's right." Jin Jiu nodded in agreement. He didn't know much about the military. Nor is it the deep meaning of Chang Ruiqing's words. However, when Chi Tycoon heard this, his face changed slightly, and he lost his voice: "Does Your Excellency the Prime Minister think that the Japanese Navy has the right to control the sea in the western Pacific?" ”

"That's not enough," Zhang Guotao shook his head slightly without Chang Ruiqing speaking, "But, Mr. Chi, Mr. Jin, there is a situation that you kěnéng do not zhidào, in the past few years, the Soviet Union and the Japanese navy have built a large number of submarines. Therefore, although they cannot seize the sea control in the western Pacific, they can cause extremely serious losses to our foreign trade. ”

Ji Daheng and Jin Jiu glanced at each other. hǎoxiàng thought of shime and didn't speak. Chang added: "In the past two years, we have purchased a large amount of equipment in Europe and the United States, and most of it has been delivered, so our strategy is to postpone the outbreak of a full-scale war with Japan as much as possible. The Korean Peninsula was completely occupied by Japan, and we had to enter the war in advance! ”

The faces of the two North Koreans turned blue at once, and they heard Chang Ruiqing's subtext, you North Korea must hold back the Japanese army to the north, so you must defend Pyongyang. Chang Ruiqing sighed: "I, you will pay a huge sacrifice for this, and the whole of North Korea will be scorched because of this war." ”

"But please rest assured, when the war is won, we will definitely help the Korean people to rebuild their homeland, and the territory of the Republic of Korea will include the entire Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island and Tsushima Island." Chang Ruiqing opened the river tunnel.

"So, what will happen to post-war Japan?" Chi Daheng frowned, China has a "Japan-China Treaty" in its hands, and there is a group of He clans who regard Chang Ruiqing as the "Great Ming God of the Left People", I am afraid that after the war, Japan will be merged into the Great China Federation, and Shihou Korea will not become a country surrounded by the territory of the Great China Federation? Can such a country survive independently for a long time?

"It depends on Takeda's wishes." Chang Ruiqing glanced at Zhang Guotao. Zhang Guotao said: "Mr. Chi, Mr. Jin, do you still have a secret channel with Jin Hengji, that is, Takeda Heng?" ”

Chi Daheng and Jin Jiu stared at Zhang Guotao, who was asking, and spoke for a long time, this sudden question made them a little embarrassed. Listening to the other party's intentions, it seems that he wants to reach a secret agreement with Takeda Heng to draw Japan over to China. But in that case, is there any hope for North Korea to reunify the Korean Peninsula? Perhaps, the territory that North Korea now controls will also be sold by the Chinese to Takeda Heng!

hǎoxiàng saw through the thoughts of the two North Koreans, and Chang Ruiqing slowly spoke: "President Chi, Prime Minister Kim, ruguo our nénggou and Takeda jinhángjiēchu are also good for you to defend Pyongyang, give him one more choice, and you can also avoid him jumping off the wall in a hurry." By the way, do you have evidence that Takeda Heng is Kim Hyung-gi? ”

Chi Daheng and Jin Jiu were stunned again, and then shook their heads regretfully, if they want this kind of thing, they don't have to worry about the Japanese invasion now.

"Then prepare to fight," Chang Ruiqing said slowly: "This battle must be fought, and if it is won, the Korean people can stand up!" Lost...... There will be no more North Korea on this shijiè! I hope that you will tell him all these words in Shihou of Takeda Hengjiēchu. In addition, if I bring him another message, the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines, and Portuguese East Timor, excluding Sumatra, can become Japanese colonies. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly accentuated his tone: "Finally, I have one more sentence to tell Sù Takeda Heng, this shijiè is not the only person who is qualified to become the emperor of the Japanese Empire!" Shihou of the Japanese Revolution, there were two Japanese princes who happened to study in France. ”

The two Japanese princes who studied in France were King Minoruhiko of Higashikurenomiya and King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, both of whom were notorious war criminals in history, because they escaped trial because of a royal family, the latter of whom was one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre! Of course, Chang Ruiqing would not really let them become the emperor of Japan, but it would be a good choice to use them to wēixié Takeda Heng. In addition, in addition to Tongguo North Korea and Takeda's direct jiēchu, Chang Ruiqing also instructed the former Japanese high-ranking officials in the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association to try to contact the old officers in the Japanese Red Army, and in addition to the conditions given to Takeda, he also promised to restore the Japanese emperor system!
