Chapter 315: Ghost Shadow on the Yalu River: Japanese Ghost

The establishment of the Chinese Pacific Fleet set off a monstrous storm at home and abroad for a time.

As soon as the major cities in China heard the news, nearly 10,000 people rushed to tell each other about this major national event that could be compared with the Wehrmacht's efforts to recover the territories occupied by Soviet Russia.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! The establishment of the Pacific Fleet of the National Defense Force, the strength of the Chinese Navy was revealed......"

Looking at the headlines in the newspapers with the number one black mark, the huge news pictures, the close-ups of the ships, the groups of ships that cannot be seen at a glance, the high gun barrels, and the carrier-based aircraft groups that cover the sky, the whole picture gives people a monstrous momentum that is extremely compelling.

With the Wehrmacht's alternative style of taoguang and obscurity, for the people in the country, it has always been a planned public use of force to declare strength and prosperity.

However, the Wehrmacht has never demonstrated the strength of the Chinese Navy on such a large scale by establishing an ocean fleet to announce to the people and the world that China will join the struggle for world maritime supremacy.

Although in the eyes of the people, the Baath Party and even the National Defense Force have always been a strong and enterprising image, the equipment and training of the National Defense Force also give people the feeling of a strong country and a strong army.

However, in the eyes of most people, the status of a weak country that was once boundless is too profound.

In their eyes, a strong military force can be interpreted in many ways.

It can be an aircraft carrier, a battleship of one or two thousand tons. It could also be a fleet of no more than twenty planes, a larger plane than expected, flying overhead, or a heavily armed, well-groomed, well-groomed unit galloping through the streets.

Even young people who have received the most modern education are constantly adjusting their impression of the strength of the country and the strength of the Wehrmacht.

Because, in their opinion, the Wehrmacht is not surprising people at every moment, but surprising the people.

The Chinese, who were once weak to the limit and almost wiped out their country, are too easy to satisfy, and in their imagination, as long as their country can have the strength to defend the territory when the enemy invades, it is already a great blessing.

Since the Qing Dynasty, China has suffered too many humiliations from all countries in the world, and the process is the same every time: a powerful enemy comes, we cannot resist, we fail, we pay reparations, we cede land, we sign unequal treaties. The other enemy was red-eyed, they came, and then we lost again...... Lost again...... Lost again...... And the strong rise of the political axe in the southwest and the rejuvenation of the country made them see another surprise entirely.

The economy is getting better, the army is getting stronger, the society is becoming more and more equitable, poverty and hunger are moving away from people at an accelerated pace, and there are more and more goods in stores, more and more variety, and cheaper prices...... At the same time, time and again, the army brought good news to the people: we have won...... We won...... We're victorious again...... We've been winning...... As a result, the territory has been constantly expanding and the cohesion of the nation has been strengthened.

It wasn't until the Wehrmacht announced the establishment of the Pacific Fleet and announced the great strength of the Chinese Navy that people found that, perhaps, we could also go out to the enemies of the past and to the oceans that we had pioneered.

An old man in Dagukou, Tianjin, stood on the deck with his grandson, looking at the Dagukou Fort on the shore, which had long been converted into a free patriotic education base, where two flags were fluttering in the sea breeze, one was the dragon flag of the Republic and the other was the iron-blooded military flag of the National Defense Army.

"Grandpa, is that the Dagukou Fort where you fought with foreigners back then?" The child is not more than ten years old, but he has grown up in old stories since he was a child.

The old man's beard and hair were all white, nearly seventy years old, facing the strong wind at the mouth of the Haihe River, sighing, "Yes, back then, the Beiyang Fleet was destroyed in front, and the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked again through Dagukou, the Qing court was powerless to stop, Dagukou Fort, Luo Dashuai led us to fight a bloody battle for a long time, and finally lost the enemy, Luo Dashuai also served the country with his body, I was stunned by the cannonball, and escaped with my life." ”

The young man was young and ignorant, but he knew that these foreigners were bad people, so he clenched his little fist and said loudly, "Grandpa, if the foreigners call again in the future, grandpa will rest at home, and grandchildren will go to beat them." I can also guard the battery. ”

The old man rubbed the young man's radish head lovingly, and said softly, "Little Dandan, you don't have to guard the fort in the future, the fort is dead, and it is a helpless move forced by the situation."

Now our Pacific Fleet has been established, which is a 100 times and 1,000 times more powerful than the fleet of Beiyang Marshal Li in those years. The history of Dagukou will not repeat itself, your future is on the ocean, and there is your battlefield. ”

Despite this, the old man and the young man were still looking at the Dagukou Fort from the deck, and many of the other passengers behind them were also standing quietly, and some even took off their hats to salute the Dagukou Fort that was getting farther and farther away.

Taiwan Keelung "......"

The fishing boats in the harbor are setting sail nervously, and the Keelung dual-use port in the distance is busy. One after another, ships are pulling their long whistles and sailing into Keelung Military Port.

"Look, there are so many warships!!"

A fisherman was checking the ropes on the high mast of the ship, looking at the battleship approaching the harbor in the distance, and couldn't help but grab the iron rod with one hand, while raising his arms and shouting: "Hey! ~”

"It's a battleship of the Pacific Fleet!"

I don't know who shouted, most of the fishermen can't read, but there are always some people who are well-informed, always follow the news, listen to people read newspapers, and listen to the radio. "It was said on the radio that one of the stations of the Pacific Fleet in the future will be Taiwan, and these must be the warships of the Pacific Fleet."

"That's great, the whole of Taiwan will be safe in the future."

All the fishermen shouted, in the past, Taiwan's Keelung Port was not without warships, but the number was small and the tonnage was small, but now, the warships sailing into the port in the distance are bigger than all the warships these fishermen have ever seen.

"My Mazu Niangniang, what kind of battleship is this, it's so big......"

Looking at the giant warship, the fishermen couldn't help but look down at the fishing boats under their feet, they once thought that these fishing boats of more than 100 tons were great guys, which were also purchased by political axe subsidies after liberation.

"Maybe it's the Captain of the Voyage ......or something," a fisherman seemed to be a little impressed, and said loudly, "such a big guy, it must be." ”

"Hahaha...... It is our own aircraft carrier Chinese, not a ...... of navigation"

A fisherman laughed loudly.

Everyone laughed and laughed, and the fishing boats anchored one after another, as if they couldn't get enough of it, until the huge aircraft carrier was already faintly visible, and they did not withdraw their gaze.

Most people are thinking about the same question: there are so many, such a large warship, you should be able to fish with peace of mind for a lifetime in the future.

Hanzhong Province, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and even as far away as the province of Huo Quzhi in Central Asia, the province of Beihai in Siberia, and as far away as the Wehrmacht patrol units patrolling the North Sea, were all discussing the formation of the Pacific Fleet.

And the reaction of the Chinese abroad is even greater.

The establishment of the Pacific Fleet was like an earthquake that spread all over the world.

Chinatown, USA.

Several young men in southwestern uniforms were running fast, holding up the telegraph in their hands, and shouting, "Great news, great news." ”

As they ran, more and more people were attracted to attention, stopped what they were doing, and looked at these young people. Every time, when these young Chinese people in Southwestern clothes roar through Chinatown, it always brings great news. They have the fastest source of information in the country, and it is this group of people who founded the Tang Dynasty Newspaper.

As many people gathered around, the young men in Southwestern costumes jumped onto a large millstone in the center of Chinatown, which was left by the Chinese many, many years ago and has been preserved to this day.

"According to the radio news we have just received from China, China has officially announced that it will take more than a dozen aircraft carriers as the main force and form a number of aircraft carrier fleets, so as to establish China's first ocean-going fleet, the Pacific Fleet, and hold a grand naval parade in the East China Sea, which openly displays a number of China's aircraft carriers, and the chairman personally inspected the naval parade, and personally announced the establishment of the Pacific Fleet, and awarded the fleet a flag ......."

"Long live !!"

Although the Chinese are abroad, it is difficult for them to return home, but when the news came, everyone was boiling.

The prosperity and strength of the country, the development of the economy, the growing strength of the army, and the expansion of the territory may make the Chinese people slowly feel the rejuvenation of the motherland.

However, when China one day also established a Pacific Fleet similar to the Americans, and demonstrated a naval strength that was strong enough to compete with the Americans, everyone was shocked to realize that the motherland had unknowingly become so powerful.

For overseas Chinese, the most direct factor that can make them feel the strength of the motherland is not how many troops the motherland has, not how rich the country and the people are strong, but what they can feel the strength of the motherland the most, at least for now, is only the navy.

Because no one understands better than them what the strength of the navy means for the planet today.

Compared with the most ordinary Chinese, only these homeless and homeless Chinese people understand best how big the earth is and how important the ocean is.

They used to peek at the fleets of the Americans with envy again and again, their own fleets, the fleets of the Germans, the fleets of the British, and even the fleets of the Italians, the fleets of the Spaniards...... They used to secretly hope that maybe one day our motherland would also have a powerful, even more powerful ocean-going fleet.

Now, with it, the formation of the Pacific Fleet gave them the biggest surprise.

…… Hankyung.

The Pacific Fleet was formed, and the hurricane of China's demonstration of great naval power did not seem to blow to Hanjing Mountain, nor to the base camp of the head of the republic.

However, only Zhang Shusheng knew that the moment he personally announced the establishment of the Pacific Fleet of the Republic, it was difficult for his heart to calm down.

What the sea means, Zhang Shusheng knows very well.

For later generations of China, the sea means a global trade route, relying on which China can carry out economic, cultural and political exchanges with other countries in the world, and is a real road connecting countries around the world.

At that time, China also did not have the ability to establish an ocean fleet, not because it did not want to do so, but because it did not have so many powerful warships, and there were not so many warships that could handle and control the scene, or in other words, compared with the world's naval powers, China's navy has always been floating near the coastline.

At that time, there was no powerful oceanic fleet, and our merchant ships would be intercepted and inspected by others at will.

At that time, without a powerful ocean fleet, our merchant ships would be plundered by pirates again and again.

At that time, without a powerful oceanic fleet, the enemy, two thousand nautical miles away, could seize our sea areas and seize our islands, while stripping off his pants and twisting his ass at us, shouting: You hit me, you come to beat me, .......

At that time, there was no powerful ocean fleet, and the Koreans, the Vietnamese, the Filipinos, the Indonesians, the Malaysians, almost all the surrounding countries, could seize our fishing boats, beat our fishermen, and confiscate our fishermen's property. Some of them were even the so-called 'fraternal countries' in our mouths at that time, but these diseases of ringworm and scabies were never polite to fraternal countries and geopolitical powers.

It is precisely because of our weakness that we do not dare to arrogantly call it the 'Pacific Fleet', but can only be the 'Small Sea Fleet'.

And that's all changed now!

For today's China, the ocean is not only a road of trade, economy, trade and politics, but also a channel for China to go to the world and conquer the world.

"My Pacific Fleet is not the same as the Americans' Pacific Fleet, and I hope that one day, the Pacific Ocean, can become our inland lake, and at that time, the Pacific Fleet will be a veritable Pacific Fleet. Just like the several sea fleets of later generations. China wants to go global, and the navy is one of the most important means to maintain the security and stability of the newly occupied land in the future. ”

This is the real dream in Zhang Shusheng's heart.

......"Chairman of the Committee, Admiral Luo Feng of the Intelligence Department has arrived." Mao Yun said outside the door first.

"Well, let him in."

Zhang Shusheng cleaned up his mood, returned to the table, and arranged the documents, at this time, Luo Feng just pushed the door in.

"Chairman!" Luo Feng entered the door, saluted, and then stepped aside, not sitting down.

According to our investigations and statistics, the people of the whole country are now unprecedentedly united, and patriotic enthusiasm is once again rising.

At present, the support rate of our Baath Party at home is much higher than that of the Nazis in Germany, and our support rate has reached almost 95% or more, which is already an absolute support rate. ”

Luo Feng said happily, "Judging from the situation abroad, in the years after liberation, with the domestic economic and political development, the military strength has become stronger, people's living standards have improved, and the recognition of us abroad has almost reached 90%. Our image is very good. ”

Zhang Shusheng: "Support is just a manifestation. We serve the people and the nation with peace of mind, and we can't be unpopular. My Director Luo, you won't be the only one who has this news, right? ”

Luo Feng shook his head, his expression became solemn, and said, "Chairman of the Committee, according to the information I have just received, due to the increasingly serious resistance in North Korea, as well as the rigidity and seriousness of the Chinese and Chinese relations on the Korean issue. He said that he had already decided to support the DPRK in setting up a puppet political axe and support the DPRK's reading power, and this news would be announced to the public by next week at the latest. According to our intelligence, the DPRK's leadership has basically decided that it will basically use some pro-DPRK annihilation.

At present, the Japanese army has assigned a number of Korean servant divisions that had been secretly trained before to the banner of the soon-to-be-established Korean puppet political axe, and existed as a puppet army. And the scale of these puppet armies continues to expand.

The most unfavorable thing is that there is currently a puppet army of more than 20,000 people on the border between China and North Korea, and they are present in the many small frictions and skirmishes in the past. ”

North Korea is going to read power? Zhang Shusheng has some slander in his heart, this country, in later generations, both the north and the south are very distinctive, the north is the second big country in the universe, the south is the first big country in the universe, the mentality of small people has always been very serious, and aggressive behavior makes him often embarrassed with China on major and small issues.

For the north, Zhang Shusheng is cold-eyed and disdainful, and for the south, he has a lot of resentment, and the north and the south are not good things.

North Korea's reading force is not without rumors.

Previously, Zhang Shusheng had received reports that North Koreans, stimulated by their strong neighbor China, had been trying to get closer, and some people with the surname Kim even wanted to join the Ba'ath Party as ethnic Koreans.

These people have repeatedly complained to the political axes in China's border areas, hoping that these local political axes will convey to the headquarters of the head of the Republic that they want to restore the good of ancient times.

In the final analysis, they wanted to use the powerful power of the Chinese to counterattack North Korea, take North Korea, and drive Yue himself home. They knew that during this period, they did not dare to offend China, and if they could win China's help and rely on the mountain of China, they would be able to recover North Korea.

They have been working Chinese and pinning things on Chinese, and they have hoped again and again that China will support their weapons and equipment, food, technicians, and even officers...... However, the base camp did not once promise them and ordered them to leave the country.

The Kim North Koreans are a little puzzled why their hot face leans on the cold legs of the Chinese? Even if they say all the good things, the Chinese just refuse to say anything.

In desperation, they had to crawl to the Americans and Soviets again, hoping for support. In the end, after much begging, the Americans gave a sum of money, and the Soviets gave some weapons and equipment.

That's all, because immediately after the outbreak of the war in the Far East, the Soviets were already too busy to take care of themselves, and all these Koreans could get was a few dollars.

However, it was on these dollars that they began to make trouble in an organized manner in North Korea.

As a result of his own excessive exploitation, revolts broke out in many places under the leadership of the Koreans who had gone to China to work as coolie laborers, and in almost a few years, numerous guerrilla groups were established.

These people are different from the Kim family, they also do not have the support of China, nor the support of the Soviet Union and the United States, but they rely on their many years of labor life in China, and they have a certain awareness in vision and understanding, and many laborers will donate money to them, which caused the situation in Korea to become more and more chaotic in the end.

Of course, on the other hand, the heavy Chinese troops are displayed on the banks of the Yalu River, and the officers and men of the national defense army are waiting for the rest of the day at night, and they are always like a sharp sword hanging over their hearts.

"Chairman of the Committee, at present, our garrison near the Yalu River has had many small frictions with Yu himself.

For example, last month's incident occurred in which the Chinese army forcibly detained our fishing boat. At that time, our fighters immediately dispatched and resolutely attacked, sinking my armed boat on the river, so that our patrol ship could successfully pick up our fishermen.

Afterwards, he insisted that our fishermen intended to spy on the military situation on the east bank of the Yalu River, and because of the huge deterrent power of the army in the Shenyang area, he had no choice but to compensate.

However, although this incident was forcibly suppressed by the local military, some lower-level officers were carried away by the victories in the Far East and Southeast Asia, believing that China was nothing more than that, and advocated a tough settlement of the Sino-DPRK border dispute. They frantically believed that to feed the war with war, they should take advantage of the powerful countries like the Germans, and not just rely on barren Korea to feed the war.

Combined with the intelligence on the deepening of the policy of appeasement in the DPRK, we have found that there are some differences between the thinking of the military headquarters and the army in the DPRK. Some of the officers in the DPRK army, especially in the northern part of Korea, seem to have restarted their minds.

In particular, when it seemed that our army would be consumed by the huge territory of the Soviet Union and dragged down by the Soviet army or the Americans, this idea of myself, especially of the middle and lower ranks, began to become extreme again.

If this kind of thinking develops, it may be a border conflict, or it may be a border war, and it is more likely that there will be a war for the northeast that will break out again. You must know that at this time, the country already has more than one million troops that can go to war at any time. ”

Luo Feng said with some worry, he is the intelligence director of the republic, and he is very familiar with intelligence at all levels, especially these ghost thoughts of himself, he has to get a lot of special reports every day, on the whole, he believes that the dispute between China and China is far from ending during the Liberation War ten years ago.

Zhang Shusheng lit a cigarette, smoked for a while, and after listening to Luo Feng's speech, he said, "Actually, Luo Feng, we should all be clear, and the real people in charge of the military should also know that the war between China and China is far from ending in the armistice negotiations that year."

In the meantime, the accounts have not been settled, the matter has not been resolved, and the resentment has not been settled, so how can we put down our hands and talk about peaceful development?

The current Axis alliance is completely undecided. Frankly, if we want, we can make up an excuse at will, and the army can advance to two hundred kilometers east of the Yalu River in eight hours.

And I said, didn't I warn us? On the Sino-North Korean border, when troops were most urgently needed in the Far East battlefield, they maintained a covert scale of nearly 400,000 troops. The garrison in the entire DPRK has never been less than 1 million, and even if they use various excuses, including the transfer of troops participating in the war, to cover it up, they cannot deceive us. ”

After a pause, Zhang Shusheng continued, "The actual strength of the Far East battlefield does not exceed 2.5 million, and the army in Southeast Asia, excluding a large number of Indonesian servant troops, is only one million in size. In addition to these 3.5 million people, North Korea still has 1 million troops stationed in North Korea, and there are about 1.5 million troops in the mainland. The number of troops that can go to the battlefield and have medium- and long-term combat capability has reached 6 million, which is a very dangerous number.

If the whole of World War II had not been going well for the Benbens, they would have been relatively stable, but once they had stopped in Southeast Asia and saw the dawn of victory in the Far East, I would never have thought that their millions of troops would obediently attack along northern Siberia and in the direction of Europe. Their goal, inevitably, can only be China!

They will take advantage of our preoccupation and find a proper excuse to eat a part of our land, most likely in the northeast, because they can turn around and attack us from the Far East, or attack us directly from Korea.

That's why I never underestimated myself, and I never let my guard down.

It is said that there will be another battle. ”

This is Zhang Shusheng's innermost thoughts, saying that there must be a war, even if he does not provoke a war, China will take the initiative to start a war. According to Zhang Shusheng's comprehensive prediction, he believes that he is more likely to provoke a war.

This is also because he is unwilling to allow the Soviets to fail prematurely in the Far East, but to let them contain a considerable amount of troops and energy from China, and firmly grasp the initiative between China and China in his own hands.

Italians can stab themselves in both ways, and they can naturally stab China in the back at any time. Especially if China dares to be angry and does not dare to fight, they will take another risk and succeed on the basis of the 'pretext for disputes'.

However, Zhang Shusheng said to Luo Feng with a smile, "However, we will never give them a chance, even under any circumstances...... Director Luo, look at this information, this is sent back to China by our ace agent through special channels. ”

Luo Feng was slightly puzzled, opened it and looked at it, and his eyes were suddenly angry, "It's really going to turn the sky upside down!" The devil thief is not dead!! ”

"Yes, I am not you and me, I know the strength of China. The North Koreans are even more frogs at the bottom of the well, they don't care how powerful China is, they only need to temporarily nest under their crotch to feel safe.

At this time, even if he secretly instigated them to do anything, they would be extremely obedient. ”

The corners of Zhang Shusheng's mouth showed a mocking smile, judging from this top-secret information, the middle and lower-level officers in charge of this plan in his own person, although he can't talk about any power and background in the military department, but his intentions are very sinister.

If this plan succeeds, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone, not only probing China's bottom line, but also planting enough troublesome elements in North Korea.

As long as he closed his eyes slightly, Zhang Shusheng could think that there were too many tricks that could be used by this devil. He is not a German, and although he has no good impression of the Germans, he is more dangerous, more vicious, and better at intrigue than the Germans.

More importantly, they are nostalgic for China. Especially when they thought that they would definitely be able to win the final victory in the Far East battlefield, when they thought that China, which was advancing in the three major directions of the Soviets at the same time, was extremely likely to be dragged down by the Soviets, and even the main forces of the troops fell into the vast territory of the Soviet Union.

That's when they move around. They may attack India, but it is more likely that under the intrigues of some middle- and lower-ranking officers, they will once again fight the idea of Northeast China, or China's occupation of land, including Hailan Pao.

Zhang Shusheng always echoed a sentence in his heart, "I will never get a good end, and even if you say that I have millions of soldiers, I will definitely be a mantis arm as a car and eat the consequences." ”

(To be continued)
