Chapter 550: A Friend Comes from Far Away
The reorganization of the Anti-Japanese Federation was very smooth, and after the reorganization, there were four armies, one of which was the Korean Army, and in addition to the Korean Army, the numbers were the First Army, the Fifth Army, and the Ninth Army, and there were three divisions and nine regiments under the First Army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Each regiment has three infantry battalions and a machine gun company, more than 2,000 people, and since the troops are still expanding, each regiment is allowed to increase its own troops, but it needs to be like an organizational record. At the same time, various units have increased the requirements for coordinated operations in their daily guerrilla operations.
After Jiang Cheng provided 30 107 rocket launchers and 30 75mm infantry guns again, the Anti-Japanese Union also had its own heavy weapons.
At the time of the reorganization of the Anti-Japanese Federation, Chongqing and Yan'an came to a team of guests.
-- Chongqing
A group of white people came to the Provisional Nationalist Government building in Chongqing under the guidance of a special person, and Jiang looked at the two leaders, walked up to them with a smile, shook hands and said, "Welcome to China, Mr. Jensen, introduce me quickly." ”
Jensen nodded and said, "This is the leader of the government of the Republic of China, Chairman Chiang Zhong, and this is the head of our military advisory group, Colonel Eisenhower." ”
Hearing that it was only a colonel, Chiang couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, but he still shook Eisenhower's hand.
Eisenhower, who was fifty years old at this time, was playful and aggressive from an early age, did not like to read, dressed sloppily, and did not care about the ridicule of his classmates. After school, he often went out to do odd jobs, or helped his mother with work, and his grades were mediocre in West Point, and he didn't even have the opportunity to play in World War I, but he didn't care, because the reason he joined the army in the first place was just that West Point Military Academy was publicly funded, and he could also play football!
He and MacArthur, who was also famous in later generations, can be said to be two extremes, MacArthur's grades at West Point were the first, and no one broke them for decades, but both of them eventually became world-class generals, but they are also interesting.
At this time, Eisenhower had just finished his paperwork under MacArthur, received the rank of colonel, and in a major military exercise, he performed well and commanded well, and attracted the attention of military circles. Originally, according to the course of history, he should have been reused and promoted to brigadier general, but Roosevelt noticed that he had a friendship with MacArthur, and he was easy-going, and he was more able to handle relationships, and his military rank was only colonel, so it would not attract too much attention, so he suppressed the report document on his promotion, and sent him to China with a transfer order to serve as the head of the US Field Observation Mission and Military Advisory Corps.
He sensitively felt that Jiang Intermediary didn't pay much attention to him, and couldn't help touching his nose, such things didn't happen too much in his life.
Sure enough, in the subsequent talks, Chiang said very little to him, and basically asked Jensen, as the ambassador, about the aid.
At this time, the first batch of U.S. aid had begun to enter China, but due to capacity problems, most of it was hoarded in Myanmar.
"Colonel Eisenhower, do you have any suggestions?" Probably feeling a little snubbed by Eisenhower, Jiang raised his head and asked Eisenhower, "I believe you have also learned a little about the situation in China, our supplies are very scarce, and we urgently need this batch of aid in place." ”
Eisenhower thought for a while and said, "I think the next strategy of the Japanese army is likely to be to go south in order to cooperate with the German army's operations in Europe, and China, in addition to attracting the attention of the Japanese army in China, should also work with Britain to defend the security of Southeast Asia. ”
Jiang Intermediary was stunned for a moment after listening to Song Meiling's relay, and laughed, Eisenhower felt inexplicable, but he still felt Jiang Mediation's mockery of him, and couldn't help but feel angry, he immediately turned his head to look at Jensen, and found that Jensen was also smiling bitterly, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
After laughing, Jiang nodded and said, "Okay!" I think Colonel Eisenhower has a very good idea, and why don't Colonel Eisenhower contact Britain to see if they are willing to accept this bill? ”
The meeting ended quickly, and Eisenhower walked up to Jensen and asked, "Did I just say something wrong?" ”
Jensen smiled bitterly and said, "Colonel Eisenhower, it's me who is wrong, I didn't tell you some hidden secrets, in fact, we have all thought about what you said, but the British don't agree at all, now the Japanese army has not really attacked, the British army said that if the Chinese army enters Burma, it is likely to stimulate Japan, and even Britain has to cut off the Yunnan-Burma road in order to appease Japan." Asia's muddy waters.... Hey..."
Eisenhower suddenly understood, he was not without political acumen, but he did not expect Britain to have such an idea, and he suddenly understood why he came here, I am afraid that it is not only to coordinate relations with China, but also to coordinate Sino-British relations is the most important thing.
Because Eisenhower held part of the power in the distribution of materials, he immediately became a hot figure from all walks of life in Chongqing, and Eisenhower also thoroughly saw what it means to sugar-coat cannonballs, and later Eisenhower's memoirs wrote about his life during this period - "If someone asks me when was the most extravagant and corrupt scene I have ever seen in my life, I can only say that I was in Chongqing before World War II, where can anyone get the perfume and fashion that have just appeared in France, and the movies that have just been released in the United States, Soviet caviar, I'm not saying how precious these things are, but when these things are shipped to Chongqing, there are fewer weapons and ammunition on the trucks from Burma to Chongqing, and the lives of soldiers in the war are consumed to satisfy their own pursuit of luxury, isn't this the most luxurious and corrupt scene in the world? That's why, when President Roosevelt asked me, I told him that the reason I gave up Chiang was not because I liked the Red Party, but because I really didn't know how to save the White Party. ”
-- Yan'an
"Dada-da-da!" A burst of gunfire rang out, and in the smoke of gunpowder, a white man wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army stepped forward and looked at the target set up thirty meters away, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Great, this Ida submachine gun is amazing, the most unbelievable thing for me is that this gun is actually produced by you on a large scale, your Yan'an is really a place that will surprise me every day, this is a miracle place." ”
The chairman smiled and said, "It's not that our Yan'an is a miracle land, it's our people, they are the ones who create miracles, Colonel Barred, I'm really glad that the heads of your U.S. communications offices in Yan'an and Taiyuan are you and Mr. Xie Weisi." ”
Bao Ruide smiled and said, "Mr. Mao, I'm also glad that I can come here again, you know?" I can feel the strength of your body, you are full of hope, by the way, have you received the supplies? Our first batch of supplies has already been shipped into China. ”
An important task of Barred is to supervise the part of the goods that the United States has given to China that should belong to Yan'an, and that should come to Yan'an.
The chairman took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Our comrades in Chongqing have replied, and our chairman said that our supplies are still in Myanmar and have not yet arrived, so let us continue to wait." ”
Bao Ruide suddenly said incomprehensibly: "In Myanmar? ... It's a pretext, right? ”
The chairman said hesitantly, "It doesn't matter, we didn't have much hope in the first place." ”
Bao Ruide was unwilling, he said, "This is what our United States gave you Yan'an, you fought against the Japanese army, this is deserved, the army is most afraid of unfair rewards and punishments, I will contact Chongqing for this matter." ”
The chairman looked at Bao Ruide and nodded slightly and said, "You are a friend of our Chinese people, and we will remember your friendship with us." ”
Bao Ruide snorted, picked up the Ida submachine gun again, and said, "Having said that, it is really not easy for your party to find so many European and American engineers and workers to do things." ”
The chairman took a puff of his cigarette and said, "We have spent a lot of money on the workers of the United States, and as for the European ones, they are all the sin of the German fascists!" ”
The U.S. office in China was quickly established, and the material resources shipped from Burma to China continued to transfuse blood for the Chongqing Nationalist Government. It is just that while stepping up diplomacy with the United States, we are also stepping up the combat preparations of the troops.
More than 300 kilometers away from the chairman and Bao Ruide, a group of scientists looked at everything in front of them in shock, these are extremely advanced scientific instruments, and even many of them don't know what they are, they can only guess from the appearance.
A man with a cat-faced mask walked up to them, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello everyone, welcome to our scientific research center, I'm sorry to invite you in this way, in addition, since you come from various countries, I will communicate with you in English, if you don't understand something, please help translate it next to you, I believe there should be no problem." ”
A scientist with curly hair walked out and asked, "203, where is this again?" Although I slept through, I could still feel that it had been a long time, and I even suspected that this was not the United States. ”
"What? Are you from the United States? Oh! You're Mr. Einstein, oh my! I'm from England! ”
"I'm from Germany!"
"I'm from Poland!"
Listening to the chatter below, the cat-faced man couldn't help but say angrily, "Quiet!! ”
Probably remembering that he was still a captive, everyone fell silent and looked at the cat-faced man.
The cat-faced person, that is, Jiang Cheng, there are not many people who have seen his face, only a few top scientists such as Einstein, which is also the result of Jiang Cheng contacting them out of respect and curiosity, such as Einstein, who was personally invited by Jiang Cheng back then.
Einstein was also taken aback when he heard that there were so many people from so many countries, he and Oppenheimer and others also discussed how many people Jiang Cheng and others had arrested, and in the end there was no result, but he never thought that Jiang Cheng's hand would be so long, it seems that few scientists in Europe and the United States have escaped, but Einstein suddenly discovered that there are two big countries that scientists are not here, but the Soviet Union and Japan.
Einstein looked at Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng touched his nose and said, "Okay, let's just calm down, I'll introduce myself first, and we will have a good deal with each other in the future, you can call me 203, this is everyone's temporary home in the future, I have told you before, the reason why I invite you to come is mainly because a weapon that human beings should not master has appeared in everyone's mind, that is, nuclear weapons, although you have read many books I have provided to you, but you have never had a real concept." Now, please come with me, and I will show you how powerful nuclear weapons can be! ”
"You made a nuclear weapon?" Oppenheimer exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Cheng turned his head and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, if you think that human beings really only have a few thousand years of civilization, then I will regret to tell you that you are wrong, let's look at it first, and we will continue to talk later." ”
Everyone was taken to a huge screening hall, Jiang Cheng waved his hand, Li Qian, who was in the dark, immediately turned on the projector, a Gobi desert appeared on the screen, there was nothing on it, and then an extremely strong ball of light appeared, the ball of light quickly became larger, and then the light shrank suddenly, and the surroundings became dark, the ball of light seemed to become a sun, and two circles of circular clouds around the sun appeared on it, and then, the sun expanded suddenly, and the huge fireball went straight into the sky, and the incomparably strong shock wave shook the earth, The surroundings gradually recovered, the surroundings began to brighten, and an incomparably huge mushroom cloud appeared, and everyone stared blankly at all this.
Then there is the tragic situation of the surrounding houses, vehicles, pigs and sheep and other test objects, all turned to ashes, and the trees burned violently under the light radiation, the film is very short, not even three minutes, but such a scene is enough for everyone to remember for a lifetime.
Click, the light turned on, Jiang Cheng walked to the front and said, "Everyone, how do you feel?" ”
"This is the power of God, and it is really not something that human beings should grasp." Albert Einstein said.
"Do you already have this?" Oppenheimer asked again.
Jiang Cheng shook his head, nodded again, and said, "I'll read a poem next, everyone listen, some people may have heard that Gulka took his flying machine and Weiana, and threw a missile full of cosmic energy at the three cities of Virishnis and Andakas. A spectacular column of incandescent fireworks rose up like thousands of suns shining at the same time. It was this secret weapon, the Iron Thunderbolt, a great messenger of death, who reduced the entire tribe of Virishnis and Andakas to ashes. The corpse was burned beyond recognition, and all the hair and nails fell off."
Jiang Cheng saw that several scientists wanted to speak, so he pointed to one of them and said, "Do you want to say anything?" ”
"This is Mahabharata!" The scientist was surprised and said, "This is an Indian epic, right?" ”
