Li Wensheng and the others were all smart people, and they had been with Chen Feng for so long, so they quickly thought of what Chen Feng was going to do, and Li Wensheng asked uncertainly: "Commander, do you plan to send troops to Tyumen on a large scale?" ”

Chen Feng looked at Li Wensheng with a smile, and then said: "As you said, there is no point in stationing troops on a large scale, once Stalin and us turn against us, it will be difficult to withdraw at that time, so I decided to send only one battalion of regular troops to Tyumen." ”

Seeing that Li Wensheng, Yang Yi and others all showed puzzled expressions, Chen Feng continued: "It is true that the regular army only intends to send one battalion, but the place in Tyumen is mainly dominated by the oil industry, which can be said to be a heavy industrial area, since it is a heavy industrial area, it needs a lot of labor, so I plan to recruit a group of Soviet workers from China to go to Tyumen together, after all, they are also Soviets, and they should be easy to communicate with the local Soviet people." ”

"Soviet workers?" Yang Yi asked with a frown.

"Well, it's Soviet workers, oh, forgot, they seem to have been stripped of their citizenship by the Soviet government!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

Now Li Wensheng and others understood that Chen Feng should be talking about Belarus, thinking about the deep hatred between Belarus and the Soviet government, Li Wensheng and others couldn't help but look shocked. Inadvertently, this former young master has grown to the point where he can even think of this kind of harmful conspiracy.

Don't look at the fact that just a group of White Russians were brought to Tyumen to work as workers, but you must know that there are still a large number of people who do not like the Soviet government in the Soviet Union, and this is only hindered by the Soviet government's repression. These people have become obedient and good citizens in ordinary times. Once someone secretly plots, I am afraid that this former White Russia will soon unite.

In addition, Stalin carried out a great purge in the Soviet Union in recent years, which led to a large number of unprovoked people being implicated in this, as long as someone raised his arms, it was enough for the Soviet government to drink a pot.

It seems that Commander Chen just wants to quietly drip into the village, and he doesn't want to shoot. Presumably, with the strength of the Eighth Theater of Operations, it is not difficult to quietly transport hundreds or even thousands of Soviets to the Tyumen oil fields, and with the assistance of these people in the Soviet Union, presumably China should be able to gain a firm foothold in the Tyumen region soon, and wait for the Soviet government to react. Those White Russians have definitely become the climate.

After agreeing on the results. Chen Feng ordered Sui Jinguang to personally escort two T34 tank production lines to Ulan-Ude, where he was responsible for the installation of equipment by the Soviets until the successful trial production.

At the same time, Chen Feng sent another telegram to Yehelina. Ask him if he has a suitable candidate to send to Tyumen. Specialized in the management and development of the Belarusian workers and troops. The general heads of the Tyumen region on the bright side are Professor Li Siguang and Major Xu Haitao. But the most important thing was the head who was secretly in charge of the White Russian side, and since he had to dig into Stalin's corner, he had to be proficient in Russian. It's better to be Russian, and besides loyal.

Chen Feng didn't have such a person in his hands for the time being, so he asked his second wife for help, presumably she should have such a person there, after all, Yeherina had a pure White Russian army under him, and there were quite a few of them. Soon Yeherina called Chen Feng back, and she recommended someone to Chen Feng, who was her former chief of guard, Mekani.

Yeherina said that Mekkani Chen Feng also understands that a typical Slavic giant, this person was Yeherina's captain of the guard when Yeherina was crisscrossing the steppe, with a Cossack knife skill in one hand, and his physical fitness was extremely strong, strong like a big bear.

Merkani was captured by Chen Feng along with Yeherina, and was later transferred to Bobosha's side as the captain of the guard, and now he has been by Bobosha's side, and has been promoted to colonel.

After thinking about it carefully, although Merkani is five big and three thick, but this person is not a reckless man, he does not want to die in battle, and he is also very good at commanding operations, it should not be a problem for him to serve as this leader, and it is only a transitional period, when they have a firm foothold somewhere, Yeherina or Bobosha will go there to replace him, so Chen Feng quickly agreed to Yeherina's suggestion.

The equipment and personnel were readily available, so as soon as the forces and the general person in charge were determined, the garrison of Chen Feng's headquarters to the Tyumen region and the convoy to the Ulan-Ude Combined Tank Plant quickly set off from Guisui.

After sending these people away, Chen Feng sent a telegram to Yehelina, planning to go to the Northeast in person to see how they have developed in the past six months.

Of course, the people in the family are against this, especially the old man and the two women in the family, but Chen Feng is not at ease when he puts his second wife alone in the northeast, although Yehelina's physical fitness is far from being comparable to ordinary people, so he still decided to go to the northeast, and the time was set for January 15.

However, before that, Chen Feng still has one thing to complete, that is, to redivide all the territory of the Eighth War Zone, after all, the territory of the Eighth War Zone has expanded a lot after the southern Hebei is conquered, and the front line has also advanced a lot, and the previous division of the defense zone must be adjusted.

On 12 January, Chen Feng issued a notice in the name of the commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, with immediate effect on the administrative divisions of Saibei Province and the redivision of the defense areas of the Eighth Theater, and the specific division is as follows: In addition to Guisui City, the entire Saibei Province also has jurisdiction over Baotou, Yikezhao League, Ulanqab League, Bayannur League, Wuhai, Datong, Zhangjiakou, Xinghe, Xilin Gol League, Ulaanbaatar City, Zongmod City, Dongfang City, Saiyin Shanda City, Baoding City, Chengde City, Shimen, and Southern Hebei Special Region, a total of 18 administrative regions and defense regions.

In addition, on the same day, Chen Feng also ordered the entire 49th Group Army to transfer to southern Hebei and reorganize the second division to be stationed in Jining to take over the defense of the Ulanqab League. After doing these things, Chen Feng secretly flew to the Northeast by helicopter.

At the same time, in Tokyo, Japan, an unusually high-level meeting was being held in the Imperial Palace, which was attended by Emperor Hirohito himself, and the main discussion was the "Guidelines for the Implementation of the Imperial National Policy" jointly presented to the Emperor by the government and the base camp.

After a cabinet meeting on January 11 to discuss and make a decision on the "Guidelines for the Implementation of the Imperial National Policy," the members of the Konoe Cabinet decided to jointly submit the "Guidelines for the Implementation of the Imperial National Policy" to the Imperial Court, and His Majesty the Emperor decided whether or not to implement the new national policy.

Although on the surface, Japan's power at this time was controlled by the base camp, and the military had in fact kidnapped the entire government, Konoe Fumima and others knew very well that Japan's political power had always been firmly controlled by the Japanese imperial family after the Meiji Restoration, whether it was in the base camp or in the cabinet, many important figures in the imperial family were among them, such as Prince Zaihito Kanin Palace, who controlled the base camp, and Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, who held important positions in the army.

In normal times, although the emperor looks like a puppet and allows the soldiers and politicians below to act, but when the future direction of Japan and the fate of the country are being decided, the Japanese imperial family, especially His Majesty the Emperor, will not allow anyone to make private claims.

In fact, two days before the Imperial Council, the original text of the "Essentials for the Implementation of the Imperial National Policy" had already been sent to the Imperial Palace, and important figures such as Prime Minister Fumima Konoe and Prince Zaihito of Kanin Palace were secretly summoned to the Imperial Palace by the Emperor and questioned by the Emperor.

The Emperor was deeply dissatisfied with the proposal, which focused on war preparations, supplemented by diplomatic preparations, and directly inquired with the Prime Minister about the war. Konoe Bunma was afraid that there was an omission, so he hurriedly summoned the two commanders of the army and navy into the palace.

The Emperor demanded from the two commanders-in-chief that the Empire of Japan, as the only military power in the world, especially in Asia, must have firm confidence in whatever it does, and as long as it is determined to do it, then it must go on firmly, and must not be half-hearted. The implication is that either we should be determined to go to war, or we should focus on diplomacy, and we should not prepare for war and diplomacy at the same time.

The Japanese army commanders and navy commanders were dumbfounded by His Majesty's words, and they did not expect His Majesty the Emperor to be so tough, and Chief of Naval Operations Nagano Shusei had no choice but to reply: "The original dominant idea was to try to open up the situation through diplomatic channels, and war preparations were taken to deal with situations when the top of the situation could not be opened through diplomatic means." until all means of peaceful diplomacy have been exhausted, and force will be resorted to only as a last resort."

In fact, at this time, Konoe Fumima and others thought that the emperor's opinion was more inclined to negotiate peace, so when they spoke, they were slightly inclined in this regard, but when the emperor asked Prince Kanin Miyazaihito about the plan for the southern war, the difficulty of the landing operation, the loss of ships, and the victory or defeat, it suddenly dawned on Konoe Fumima and others that His Majesty the Emperor was more inclined to go south, using the katana swords of the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire to seize the living space for the subjects of the empire.

And Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace also made Konoe Fumima and others speechless, he said: "The initial operation of attacking the important areas in the south is estimated to be completed in five months. However, in view of the fact that the army had misestimated the incident in China, he was reminded not to be too optimistic, but the Japanese Empire was now extremely passive, so the army believed that it would take at least a year to defeat the American and British forces in the south. ”

Prince Zaihito's words made His Majesty the Emperor, who was originally quite confident, have other thoughts about the prospects of the war after the war, and it seems that he is extremely uneasy. Therefore, Konoe Fumima is not very clear about the outcome of today's Imperial Council, but as a politician who is more inclined to solve the southern problem through diplomatic means, Konoe Fumima is still secretly happy about the emperor's reasons.

Although the proposal was submitted by the cabinet and the base camp, that was not what Fumima Konoe really thought, and judging from the results of the secret inquiry the night before, the outcome of today's imperial meeting should not be too bad, but is this really the case?
