Chapter 600: Returning Home
Stalin was entangled, although the United States' entry into the war gave him a lot of confidence, but as Chen Feng just said, the US Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses, and it could not contain the Japanese at all in a short period of time, and the right to speak in the Pacific Ocean was equal to nothing, and there was no containment force for Chen Feng's troops, and if Chen Feng's troops and Germany launched an attack on the Soviet Union at this time, then whether the Soviet Union could hold on was really a big question mark.
Now the existential stakes of the Soviet Union must be taken seriously. Judging from the conversations in the past few days, Chen Feng is bound to recover the lost territory, and adopts the principle of first making it easier and then more difficult, that is to say, if Germany does not attack the Soviet Union, Chen Feng will not ask the Soviet Union to return the territory so quickly, but will continue to attack Japan, but since it has been proposed, it must be resolved, and if the Soviet Union refuses, then Stalin believes that Chen Feng will definitely launch a war against the Soviet Union.
In fact, Chen Feng really thinks so, anyway, now that the United States and Japan have started a war, he doesn't need to hide it, whether it is the Soviet Union or Japan, as long as he dares to fight him with his teeth. Besides, he had the idea of splitting the Soviet Union for a long time, and he had it when he married Yehelina, but with the development of events, he felt that there was no need to implement this plan again, and since the old man of the Soviet Union had reversed himself, then he had nothing to show mercy.
After thinking about it, Stalin should never use the fate of the Soviet Union as a blockade, after all, he saw Chen Feng's seemingly mocking or sneering smile just now, which was very infiltrating.
In Stalin's heart. Chen Feng has always been a person who does not play cards according to common sense, such a person is like a terrorist in later generations, he can do anything. And the situation in the Soviet Union is now very threatening, the German army has already reached the city of Moscow, the Kremlin is organizing the defense of Moscow, and there is really no energy to organize another larger war in the Far East.
In the end, Stalin relented and agreed to continue the negotiations, but after this toss, Chen Feng's favorability towards the Soviet Union declined again, although the negotiations were still ongoing. But Chen Feng decided to designate the Soviet Union as one of the most threatening potential enemies.
July 22nd. Escorted by 20 new fighters, Chen Feng returned to Guisui with his guards, leaving only Wang Chonghui and others to continue negotiations in Moscow.
On the afternoon of the 23rd, the plane finally landed smoothly at Guisui Airport. ended Chen Feng's trip to Moscow.
Back to Guisui. Chen Feng did not immediately convene military officials to discuss the current situation. Instead, he locked himself in his study for a whole night, thinking about what to do next in the Eighth War Zone and for himself.
The United States and Japan have declared war, and the big picture has been decided. In his previous life, all the participating countries had already been involved, so he had nothing to scruple about, and the previous plans could be implemented.
Now the development of the Eighth Theater has reached a bottleneck, and it is no longer possible to expand the territory internally, to the south is Lao Chiang's Central Plains Forte, and to the southwest is the old nest of Yan'an, and the only thing that is to launch an attack on the territory where the Japanese army is located and seize the northeast region is the most important.
On the one hand, it was because the seizure of the Great Northeast was one of Chen Feng's strategic plans, and on the other hand, after seizing the Northeast, he would be able to take advantage of the situation to take over the Soviet Far East; in a recent teleconversation with Lao Chiang, the two sides divided the territory to be returned by the Soviet Union, and the two sides agreed to take Siberia as the boundary, and the Eighth Theater of Operations to the east and the Nationalist Government to take over the west.
As far as the land area is concerned, there are less than 1 million square kilometers in the east, and nearly 1.9 million square kilometers in the west, and there are some relatively important cities in the west.
The Far East of the Soviet Union is a very important industrial area, and there are also a large number of outlets to the sea and natural excellent harbors, which is exactly what Chen Feng needs, so Chen Feng has no objection to such a division.
But if you want to take over the Far East smoothly, you must take the Northeast, otherwise you will only make a wedding dress for the Japanese, which is not Chen Feng's style, so in Chen Feng's view, the next time is to expand the armament war and wait for the opportunity to seize the Northeast.
After thinking all night, Chen Feng roughly drafted a plan and prepared it to be discussed at a military meeting.
On 27 July, a meeting of senior military officers at the military district level of the Eighth Theater was held in Guisui, which was attended by the chief and deputy commanders of all military regions and the chief and deputy commanders of the units directly under them.
Gui Sui. Eighth Theater Command. Conference room.
After receiving the telegram of the meeting, the chief and deputy commanders of the military regions immediately settled down the affairs in their hands and rushed to Guisui; with the declaration of war by the United States and Japan, they all knew that the situation outside the war had changed, and there would definitely be new moves in the theater.
Walking into the conference room, Chen Feng saw that it was already full of people, good guys, there were more than 30 of them, each of them was carrying at least one star on their shoulders, and most of them were two stars, gathering stars, inadvertently, these people who fought with him back then became generals, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh.
After sitting down, Chen Feng asked Shi Jianfei, the chief of staff on the side, "Have you all arrived, have you asked for leave?" ”
"Commander, it's all here, even if it's the baby in the family, it's all here, and no one asks for leave!" Shi Jianfei replied.
"Giving birth to a doll, whose mother-in-law gave birth to a doll?" Chen Feng asked with interest.
"Report to the commander, it's my mother-in-law who has given birth to a baby!" To Chen Feng's surprise, it was Chen Tiebao who got up to reply.
"Your eldest sister Xu gave birth to a baby?" Chen Feng asked happily.
"It's not born yet, but it's almost there, I heard Wen Po say it's just a few days!" Chen Tiebao said with a big grin.
"Hahaha, if you give birth, hurry up, I want to be your baby's godfather!" Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Mother-in-law said that she still needs the young master to help choose a name, neither of us reads much, and the child's uncle is also a big old man, so it will be troublesome young master when the time comes!"
Chen Tiebao and Chen Feng grew up together as a part-time follower, and they have been following Chen Feng since they were children, but Chen Feng's orders are obeyed, although he has become a dignified lieutenant general, but some habits still can't be changed.
"Your child and uncle, why haven't I heard of it?" Chen Feng asked with a frown.
Chen Tiebao's wife Chen Feng is a teacher in a nursery school of the Eighth Route Army, surnamed Xu, as for what is the name Chen Feng forgot, according to the review of the intelligence department, she is a serious girl, the whole family seems to have been killed by traitors, and she is the only one who escaped.
And Chen Tiebao seems to have been ordered by himself to rescue this nursery, so he became attached to this poor woman, and it seemed that Chen Tiebao was still chasing after that woman at that time, which caused a lot of turmoil. However, according to the investigation of the intelligence department, it seems that Chen Tiebao's wife has no other relatives alive, how can he suddenly get an uncle!
Chen Tiebao said with a smile: "Young master, it's really a coincidence to talk about this matter, my mother-in-law originally lived in Jizhong, because of her handsomeness, she was taken by the dog traitor Wanfu, and brought a group of people to snatch her away, in order to avoid being insulted, my stupid mother-in-law committed suicide by throwing herself into the river from the window while others were not paying attention." The father and son of the Xu family went to ask for someone to be beaten half to death, and the door was destroyed in the middle of the night, fortunately, my mother-in-law Fu was a great life, and was rescued, and after learning that the family was killed by the dog mongrel of Men Wanfu, he defected to the Eighth Route Army. ”
"Not long ago, my mother-in-law found out that she still has an older brother alive, but I really didn't expect it. What's even more unbelievable is that uncle and young master in my family, you still know each other! ”
"I know, who is it?" Chen Feng asked in surprise.
"It's Xu Dazhuang, the commander of the 3rd Division!" Chen Tiebao said a name that Chen Feng was very familiar with.
"Xu Dazhuang, is that him?" It still surprised Chen Feng, this Xu Dazhuang Chen Feng is really familiar, his story Chen Feng also knows that it is very miserable, I didn't expect the little girl in Xu Dazhuang's mouth to be Chen Tiebao's wife, this world is really small.
"That's him, that kid's defense area is not in Ulanqab, not far from my defense area, not long ago he brought a team of guards to my defense area to do business, I entertained him at home, I didn't expect him to recognize my lady at a glance is his little sister, not to mention the scene at that time, it was too moving." Chen Tiebao said with a sigh.
"Ha Luha, I didn't expect there to be such a coincidence in this world, okay!"
After speaking, Chen Feng continued: "I didn't expect that there would be such two good things before this meeting opened, yes, yes, okay, the mother-in-law of the Iron Leopard family gave birth to a doll and the brothers and sisters of the Xu family recognized each other, which is a good thing, let's talk about this after it's over." Now let's say one more good thing, the United States is in the war! ”
"It's a good thing that the United States entered the war, as soon as the United States entered the war, then the guns of the Japanese were not only aimed at the Chinese, someone attracted a large part of the Japanese firepower for us, a rare good thing!" Chen Feng said with a smile.
Li Wensheng also excused himself: "Exactly, four days ago, the Japanese government made public the edict declaring war on the radio, and the message is very interesting
I declared war on the United States and Britain, and my land and sea soldiers should devote themselves to the war, and all my officials should be diligent in their duties, and all my people should do their duty, and they should work together for a period of billions of dollars, and raise the total strength of the country to achieve the purpose of the war, so that the unstoppable man can ensure the stability of East Asia and benefit the peace of the world. And it is unfortunate that the Empire has always had diplomatic relations with all countries, that it has enjoyed the joy of common prosperity among all nations, and that it has always been the Empire's foreign policy, and that it has begun to gather with the United States and Britain.......
