Chapter 32: A Trip to West Point

Around the end of almost every world war, the international situation was at its most complicated. The victors go into battle shirtless in order to share the account, countries do not give in to each other for their own interests, and so on. The contradictions between imperialism are indeed irreconcilable, at least in this era, the contradictions between imperialism are irreconcilable. It was not until the end of World War II that the Red Empire and the White Empire became polarized, and the relationship between Western imperialism was suppressed by the general climate, and no matter how deep the contradictions were, they had to collude together, so as not to cause the raging fire of revolution to burn to ashes.

All in all, there was a time in the history of this world when Western countries talked about red discoloration.

The history of this plane has changed somewhat, but many things cannot be reversed. The development of human history is inevitable at a certain stage, and it cannot be shaken.

"The MIA secret cable, this is the translated cable." Alice handed over a telegram, evolving from Fang Jianxiong's personal secretary to one of Fang Jianxiong's legitimate wives, after completing this transformation, Alice no longer had to worry about mastering Fang's core cipher code.

Now in the minds of the American people, Alice's identity is Mrs. Fang. In the minds of those sisters in the Republic of China, everyone is the same, and they are not the main room. The question of who will be the main room has not surfaced.

Chen Guofu retreated very interestingly, Fang Jianxiong took the telegram and didn't read it in a hurry, but asked first: "Does it still hurt?" ”

Alice's mind conjured up a scene of death, the pinnacle of pleasure that hated to be able to bring her bodies together, probably one of the most unforgettable memories of every woman's life. Well. Traversers are very talented in some ways!

Despite the absence of outsiders, Alice felt shy, and it was another thing not to seduce without skin and face before climbing into bed. I got to bed and did something. The mentality has returned to normal, and the shy nature is normal.

"It's okay, can you please not mention this while doing serious things." Alice whispered quickly, and even looked back, as if afraid that someone was eavesdropping.

Fang had no shape in any way, and with a smile he reached out and touched the bulge that was close to him, after receiving a roll of the eye. Only then did I slowly read the telegram. The Soviet government hoped to hold secret negotiations on the Sino-Soviet territorial dispute.

After Fang Jianxiong read the telegram. The smile on his face was put away. History has proven that any country that underestimates the unified Russian regime will not end up with any good results. No matter how powerful you are, it is difficult to solve the Russian problem from the outside in a real sense. Napoleon, who did not believe in evil, failed. The madman Hitler also had this result.

Fang Jianxiong, the leader of Chinese imperialism. I never underestimated these red revolutionaries. Not to mention, the red system, in an era when the capitalist system has not yet evolved the ability to self-correct, is definitely the most suitable system for fighting a world war. Fang Jianxiong had never thought of using external forces to destroy the Red Empire. If the empire is to be destroyed, it will not be possible to take sides in the Second World War. The problem is that once the Soviet-German alliance is formed, plus Japan and Italy, judging by the course of World War II. Britain and France are certainly unreliable, and US imperialism is far away in the Americas. It really is. China will inevitably have to face enormous pressure on its independence for a long time.

Despite the decision to accept the benefits of the Americans, Fang still had no intention of playing with Soviet Russia. Hug Kolchak, if he can't do it, give him a place to take refuge, this is Fang Dashuai's abacus. But judging by the current course of history, judging by the intelligence provided by the Americans, it seems that there is a good chance of destroying Soviet Russia. Because the Poles are going to get their hands dirty.

The confidence of the Poles was very high, especially after gaining independence, and the ambitions of Poland, the imperialist doglegs, were inflated. History is not very good, Fang Dashuai is completely ignorant of the details of the Soviet-Polish war, but he only knows one result, that is, with the friendly cooperation of Hitler and Stalin, Poland was destroyed and partitioned again.

Fang Jianxiong really couldn't understand one thing, where did Poland get the courage to start a war with the Soviet Union? sighed, I can only say that there is no shortage of people in this world who are fooled. Whether the Poles live or die, Marshal Fang will not care, what he needs to care about is what kind of way will be adopted in the secret negotiations with the Soviet Union.

Fang Jianxiong would not do such a stupid thing as signing a contract on words, at most it was a verbal agreement and a tacit understanding. China and Japan can sign a non-aggression pact, and the Soviet Union, the world's public enemy, absolutely cannot leave any compromising material, at least for now, they cannot do such stupid things.

"Call back and tell sù Zhao Yu, you can negotiate secretly and reach a tacit understanding. The General Staff of the General Staff again telegraphed that by the end of the month, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army must be formed and stationed in Novosibirsk by the end of March. ”

Alice's rapid record, Alice in a working state has another charm, deliberately low neckline, white circle in the line of sight. After recording, when encountering someone's voyeuristic eyes, Alice was angry, funny, and proud.

From the point of view of body structure, Alice's advantage in the chest is undoubtedly the greatest. Leaving a plump buttocks back, turning around and going out to explain a few words, Alice came back again, skillfully took out a set of marshal clothes from the closet, Fang Dashuai put it on and hugged him out, and today he is going to give a speech again, the venue is West Point, and the accompanying person is Pershing, the chief of staff of the United States Army.

Pershing was not bad in the First World War, in the face of the key German counterattack, under the premise of the defeat of the 200,000 army, he led the remaining troops to withstand the most crazy counterattack of the German army with difficulty. It was precisely because of that battle that Pershing saw the difference between the Chinese and American armies on the battlefield. It is not only the surprise of the combat effectiveness of the table, but also the difference in fighting spirit.

In the eyes of the U.S. military, sometimes defeat and surrender is not a shameful thing, a position is surrounded by the German army, and a division of the U.S. army runs out of ammunition and food for three days, and then surrenders to the German army. There was still a position surrounded by the Germans, and a Chinese division held it for a week, and it was also out of ammunition and food, but the position was still in hand. In that battle, the 19th Infantry Division of the Expeditionary Force lost two-thirds of its strength in battle. It has created favorable conditions for the counterattack of the Sino-US coalition forces.

If you want to talk about equipment, the US military is better than the Chinese expeditionary force. But when it comes to the will to fight, the American soldiers were thrown a few streets. Pershing didn't understand this. I specially asked Cai Ye, and the answer was: Take righteousness and become benevolent!

Well, it's too difficult to understand, and I found a lot of good people, but I couldn't translate the meaning of these four words correctly.

So on the way to West Point, Pershing, who was in the same car with Fang Jianxiong, brought up this issue again. He even asked in a very awkward way: "What does it mean to take righteousness and become benevolent?" ”

Face this problem. Fang Jianxiong was not very difficult to translate to make Pershing understand, and only after a little contemplation did he answer: "There are two famous figures in Chinese history, one is called Kong Qiu. One is called Meng Ke. In a sense, it is what is now called a moral model spiritual leader. But not all, because these two people are mythologized in the minds of the Chinese. They are revered as saints. Take righteousness and become benevolent. It is a kind of moral standard and the highest state of life that they have set for the Chinese nation. My personal understanding is that in the context of the current era, the meaning of taking righteousness and becoming benevolent should probably be: for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, even if it is to sacrifice one's own life. Of course, I wouldn't ask my soldiers to do that, but in China, people who can do that. It will be admired and praised by all the people. In general, in the history books of China. Those who dedicated their lives to the survival of the nation will be written about by future generations. It is difficult for Westerners to understand this spiritual aspect of things. ”

Pershing still didn't fully understand, but he understood that after more than a hundred years of humiliation, the Chinese were holding back a force from top to bottom to revive the nation.

Answering Pershing's question, Fang Jianxiong seems to have a new understanding of the traditional moral system. Some dynasties in history inevitably flash in mind, and once the best things are misinterpreted and used by the ruling class, the danger is enormous. There are a lot of good things left by the ancestors, but they are always the same and conformist, and they are all actively abandoned by the times.

West Point Military Academy is the first military school in the United States, founded on March 16, 1802, the motto of the Military Academy is "Duty, Honor, Country", from this school motto, no country will give up political education, but the standards are different. The United States has American standards, and China has Chinese moral standards. The standard of the strong affects the standard of the weak, which is also a form of the law of the jungle.

The principal of West Point was MacArthur, who always had a corncob pipe in his mouth, and of course he was not a general yet, let alone the Emperor of Japan. In this time and space, it is estimated that there will be no chance to go to the emperor of the day.

Although not very convinced, MacArthur still adhered to the demeanor of a soldier, saluted Fang Jianxiong very seriously, and introduced the students to this military strategist from the East. MacArthur was rarely convinced, but in front of Fang Jianxiong, he didn't have much money to be proud of.

"Dear students, please welcome with the warmest applause the best military strategist in the world today, the founder of the National Defense Forces from China, Marshal Fang Jianxiong." MacArthur said, although unconvinced, did not add one after the best.

Marshal Fang Jianxiong, who was dressed in military uniform and had a heroic temperament, walked smoothly and walked onto the podium with a calm demeanor. Facing the young faces below, Fang Jianxiong didn't feel any nervousness.

Behind him was a huge blackboard, Fang Jianxiong did not speak in a hurry, but picked up a piece of chalk and wrote a line of words on the blackboard: the prospect of the modern war model.

After writing down the title, Fang Jianxiong read it in English before starting today's speech: "Dear America's best young soldiers, the above is the title of today's speech. As for the definition of war, I think everyone has read the theory of war at some time, so I will not repeat it here. Since the invention of gunpowder and the large-scale use of gunpowder in human society, cold weapons have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history. Just last year, in Europe, one of the largest modern wars in human history broke out, and it took four years to fight. So, what key factors do we see from the victory or defeat in this war? Who answers this question? ”

Speaking of this, Fang Jianxiong looked down at a somewhat excited face in front of him. brush, below a raised hand.

Fang Jianxiong casually nodded to a young man in the first row and said, "You can answer." ”

There is a tradition of freedom of speech in the U.S. military, and even a low-ranking officer can confess his views on tactics to a much higher superior. It is because of this tradition that on the Korean battlefield. A junior officer discovered the pattern of the worship offensive.

"I think that some of the new tactical ideas displayed by the German army in the middle and late stages of the war in Europe are worth learning and learning from. Quite possibly. The pattern of the next war will change radically as a result. With that, the student sat down.

Fang Jianxiong smiled and said, "Can I say that this classmate is not the answer to the question?" Well, that's not the point, the point is that this classmate had the foresight to anticipate the next question I was going to ask and gave the answer ahead of time. ”

There was a bang, but soon silence returned. Fang Jianxiong secretly sighed in his heart. It is worthy of a prestigious school, and after a short laugh, it quickly recovered. Without losing the enthusiasm of young people. It also does not lose the rigor of the army.

Historically, the fact that the US military has become the most powerful military in the world is not just a matter of weaponry. Any view that puts the strength of the US military together with the sophistication of its equipment is foolish. And to pay a huge price for it on the battlefield.

"Okay. Let me tell you what I think! I think the biggest lesson for me from the war in Europe is. As he spoke, Fang Jianxiong turned around and wrote two more words on the blackboard, "consumption", and said with a smile: "The quality of a world war, in the case that there is no fault in the scientific and technological strength and tactical cultivation of both sides, what is fought is consumption." To put it mildly, a world war is fought by the combined strength of the warring parties. ”

The scene laughed again, no doubt. These students liked this Chinese very much and were impressed by it. This is what the bystander MacArthur saw. At the same time, I also agree with this point of view in my heart, and show a thoughtful expression.

"It seems that everyone agrees with my statement, so you can move on. Attrition means replenishment, and the speed at which an army can replenish often means the length of time it takes to regain its combat effectiveness and devote it to the next battle. In the European war, the combined strength of the Entente was at least four times that of the Central Powers. However, in terms of process, the German army, which was caught in the middle of the attack on the eastern and western fronts, consumed relatively little in the course of the war, and the speed of replenishment was also faster. The consumption is less, because the tactics are ahead, but the lead is not much. The reason for the rapid replenishment is that Germany and the surrounding areas of the battlefield have a well-developed railway network. From this, one can conclude that it is most likely logistical factors that will determine the success or failure of the next war. ”

This time, no one laughed, but everyone fell into deep thought. Fang Jianxiong didn't mean to continue speaking, but waited patiently for a while, and then snapped his fingers and said, "Unfortunately, because of time factors, I want to interrupt everyone's thinking and move on to the next topic." That is the subject of today's speech, the outlook for the modern mode of warfare. Just now, one of my classmates had already answered the question I had prepared. So let me ask you another question, in what direction is modern warfare heading, and who will answer this question? ”

Another hand was raised, and Fang Jianxiong pointed at a student casually again. After standing up, the student said loudly: "I think that modern warfare has a very direct relationship with the level of science and technology, and the world war in Europe, because of the development of science and technology and the introduction of military affairs, has given rise to the mode of protracted trench warfare, and the next war is likely to lead to a change in the mode of war because of the emergence of new technologies and changes in the power of weapons." The specific direction of development depends on how the level of military science and technology developed at that time. ”

This was an unknown American student, but his words surprised Fang Jianxiong. Judging from the historical course of World War II, if the Soviet Army is the best at learning from the opponent's advanced and sublimating it for its own use, then the US Army is the best at accepting new tactical ideas and at using science and technology to change the mode of war. As for China, objectively speaking, from a historical point of view, it has nothing to do with new tactics or anything, and it is too backward.

"I would say that West Point is one of the best military schools in the world, with the most active minds and cutting-edge military concepts. The answer of the classmate just now made the answer I had prepared in advance useless. I believe that as long as West Point maintains this fine tradition, the U.S. military will become one of the most powerful in the world. When Fang Jianxiong said this sincerely, the scene erupted in thunderous applause. The first to applaud was actually MacArthur.

The speech continued, there is no doubt that it was a very successful speech, and afterwards President MacArthur told the media that Fang deserves to be the greatest military strategist in the world today, and his understanding of the world's military trends and the enlightening education method for cadets are worthy of reference from West Point. From this, it can be seen why Marshal Fang Jianxiong can build an invincible army.

West Point was the last stop of Fang Jianxiong's trip to the United States, and then the representatives of the Chinese and American militaries exchanged ideas and agreed to meet again next time. The next day, Fang Jianxiong left the United States, and the United States once again organized a grand farewell ceremony.

It was a successful visit, it was a victorious visit, it was a friendly visit. That's what the newspapers say.

As a result, Fang Jianxiong got what he wanted, and the United States got what he wanted. Both sides have paid and relations between China and the United States have been further strengthened, although there is no formal alliance. But the world powers have all agreed on a basic view, and an alliance between China and the United States is not far off.

When Fang Jianxiong left New York Harbor, he stood on the deck and refused to leave, as if he wanted to take one last look at the people of this country. Liu Guanxiong, chief of staff of the Navy, stood beside Fang Jianxiong and asked curiously: "Why did Fushuai refuse to leave for a long time?" ”

Fang Jianxiong raised his hand and pointed: "This is a country that may be the world's most powerful country in the future, and the relationship between China and the United States is likely to be in a qualitative state after the end of the next world war." ”

"Isn't Britain the strongest today?" Liu Guanxiong asked puzzled, Fang Jianxiong shook his head and said: "The war in Europe has caused European countries to lose too much blood, and when the next world economic crisis comes, the United States' ability to deal with the economic crisis is obviously stronger than that of Europe." Time is tight! ”

Novosibirsk, got a Kolchak of the White Russian army, the waist pole stiffened again, and announced that the capital was Novosibirsk. In fact, Kolchak wanted to make the capital Irkuzk, but the Chinese side did not agree, and Kolchak could only compromise. Or rather, to revive Russia, endure humiliation.

Within two months of delivering another batch of gold, Kolchak waited for 100,000 new soldiers and a steady stream of "military aid". Soon after, the Americans reported that the Chinese were going to organize a volunteer army to fight in Novosibirsk. The self-name of this army: the Chinese People's Volunteer Army.

In fact, the model of the Volunteer Army appeared very frequently after World War I. For example, during the Spanish Civil War, a large number of volunteers poured in, well, the Comintern had a lot of people going. During the Anti-Japanese War, the famous Flying Tigers originally went as volunteers. In fact, during the Anti-Japanese War, there were still many Soviet Russian "volunteers" who surrounded the Chinese sky. Qualitatively, these volunteers are fighting for their own national interests, but they have objectively made great contributions to the Chinese people. Or rather, sacrifice for the cause of human liberation. All of the above are textbook statements
