Chapter 305: Murder in the United States
"It's really fast...... Has the time agreed between Qin Wei and Tu Feiyuan passed? β
Chongqing.
Embassy of the USSR.
Chuikov rarely found time to make a few Volga drinks with the ambassador to China, Bogmolov. But he didn't come specifically for drinking...... The situation on the battlefield in China is becoming more and more confusing. He, the military adviser, needed to have a good discussion with Bogomolov.
"It should have passed, right? I don't remember this very well. Bogmolov replied.
"The war between China and Japan has basically stopped, but the battles behind enemy lines are becoming more and more frequent......" Chuikov stared at the wine glass in his hand and groaned: "It is not in our interests to Chinese to take the lead everywhere." β
"You're right. If the rear could not be appeased, it would be impossible for the Japanese to attack the Chinese army in a short period of time. Bogmolov naturally understood what Chuikov meant. The temporary truce between China and Japan meant that the Kwantung Army could still fully manage the offensive in Siberia...... Today, Vladivostok, the Soviet Union's last bastion in the Far East, is crumbling. But the Soviet government was unable to come to the rescue. The army under the command of Timoshenko was still thousands of miles away from Vladivostok, and in front of it was Sakagaki Seishiro, who was said to be the most capable of fighting tough battles in the Japanese army, and in addition, Sakagaki's chief of staff was said to be difficult to deal with, and that was Ishihara Waner, who was known as the first think tank of the Eastern Army.
The situation was extremely unfavorable for the USSR.
Everyone knows that compared to the strength of the Soviet Union, the Kwantung Army is just a wolf barking in front of a polar bear, and this wolf may have been raised in the zoo for a long time, and he has long lost his ability. But they were helpless against the wolf. For on the side near their bear's head, there stood an even more dangerous giant eagle. The blitzkrieg of the Giant Eagle, especially the overwhelming array of armor, almost terrified the entire world, and the Soviet Union could not but concentrate on defense. It's not that they're timid, either. It was the wars with Finland and Japan that greatly damaged their confidence.
"A few days ago, Qin Wei proposed to me a plan to take off from Vladivostok and bomb Tokyo, Japan......" Chuikov drained the liquor in his glass with some depression, "This guy simply wants to use us to attract the attention of the Japanese, in order to give themselves time to breathe." β
"You reported it?" Bogmolov asked.
"Do you think I dare not report it?" Chuikov's face became even more bitter. He knew too well the temper of the leader in the Kremlin, and it could even be said that the whole of the Soviet Union understood the temper of that man. If the Chinese had not bombed Japan, then, finding that Vladivostok still had such a function, he might have refused to adopt Qin Wei's plan. But now Chinese have blown up the Japanese...... Can the USSR be worse than China? Maybe the boss will expand the scale of the original plan again...... Qin Wei's proposal was to use thirty TB-3s to drop bombs in Tokyo, and the leader might increase to three hundred. Not even five hundred. He even thought that Stalin might let the plane blow up the Japanese emperor along the way, anyway, he had already seen that Hirohito was not pleasing to the eye. Who called them Bolsheviks? Their natural task is to sweep those corrupt so-called emperors and nobles into the dustbin of history.
"You should send a telegram to some people in Moscow and ask them to communicate with Comrade Stalin about this plan." Bogmolov said softly.
"Who can communicate? Molotov, Voroshilov, or Beria? Chuikov said in a deep voice: "Or do you think that Comrade Stalin will not be able to see the little tricks of the Chinese?" But what if you can see it with his character? He's going to make a move, maybe even at all costs. β
"......" Bogmolov was silent. These people in Chuikovti are Stalin's henchmen at the moment. But these people have one characteristic: they will never and dare not go against Stalin. Not even the slightest disobedience. Let alone. In the consciousness of these people, as long as they were able to please Stalin, human life was nothing. Molotov was the commander of the Great Purge throughout the Soviet Union; Voroshilov was one of the only two remaining marshals of the Soviet Union and the executor of the Great Purge of the Army; Beria was the supreme head of the NKVD, the most murderous knife in Stalin's hand, and the actual actor of the Great Purge. The executioner in the executioner. Counting on these people to persuade Stalin? It would be better to count on the sudden and continuous snowstorms in Vladivostok, and the plane could not take off and land at all.
"By the way, how is the investigation of the leak of military intelligence?"
Chuikov knew that Bogmolov could not answer his question at all, and he did not intend to ask ...... Since it may not be possible to stop it. Then he can only maximize the benefits as much as possible. The Chinese want them to bomb Tokyo and provoke the Japanese, so they can't let the Chinese just sit on the side and watch the show, especially if these guys may have any conspiracy, they must stop it.
"According to Moscow's briefing, the NKVD has initially set its targets on former leaders of the Chinese Communist Party." Bogmolov replied.
"Those guys who were driven out by the Chinese Communist Party?" Chuikov was stunned.
"Not to drive away, but to leave on their own. Because they are unwilling to admit that they are wrong. In their eyes, those in the caves in Yan'an are the ones who make mistakes. Bogmolov said.
"But those people can't know our military secrets at all, and they don't even have a chance to inquire." Chuikov frowned.
"But who else could betray the great Soviets?" Bogmolov shrugged, "Those people don't even care about their homeland. β
"In my opinion, there is no point in investigating those people." Chuikov said in a deep voice.
"But that's the NKVD's choice!" Bogmolov said.
ββ¦β¦ Well, let's not talk about that. Chuikov was helpless, the NKVD was not something he could afford to provoke, Voroshilov was purged in the army, but it was Beria and his NKVD who really killed three of the five generalissimos...... As long as Stalin was not angry, the NKVD had no scruples in the Soviet Union: "If the bombing campaign at Vladivostok is confirmed, then I believe that it will not be long before the Japanese will launch the most rear-end attack there...... By that time, we will have the possibility of losing the Far East completely. β
"We'll always call back."
"But I don't want to." Chuikov was dissatisfied with Bergmolov's words, "I can't let the Chinese's plot succeed." β
"What do you want to do?"
"Based on my research on Qin Wei, after we bomb Tokyo, he will definitely take action. But by that time we had already attracted the attention of the Japanese for them, so we ......" said Chuikov, "In order to avoid this, we should let them act first." β
"Why?"
"I calculated that the bombs we had previously supplied to the Chinese should have been almost consumed. Therefore, I hope that Moscow will provide another batch of aerial bombs to the advisory group that I lead. A hint of coldness crossed Chuikov's face.
"You want to use these bombs to force the Chinese to act first?" Bogmolov thought about it, and then thought of Chuikov's intentions.
"That's right." Chuikov nodded, "And I've already chosen a target for them." β
"But I'm afraid you'll have a hard time getting there." Pogmolov said: "Chiang Kai-shek hated others commanding his army the most, especially us foreigners, and the slightest action could cause him to backlash; And the commander of the Air Force has been replaced by Qin Wei...... He's the guy you fear the most, and he's the most difficult to deal with in the entire National Government. He was even more difficult to deal with than Chiang Kai-shek. β
"But he needs our help." Chuikov sneered: "I don't believe that he can use anything to threaten us this time...... Their air force, though, has repeatedly won. But without our bombs, their movement would be greatly restricted. At this increasingly important moment for the Air Force, he will definitely give in. β
"How can this be justified, how can this be justifiedβ"
Many people know Hu Shi. He is also known to be very important, a real master in the history of modern Chinese academics, and can even be said to be a master among masters. Many people in later generations compared Lu Xun with Hu Shi. But many people think that Lu Xun is not as good as Hu Shi. Because as a forerunner who influenced later generations of Chinese, Lu Xun was too emphasized for his anger and disdain, while Hu Shi was more of an exhortation and inducement.
Someone once evaluated the 100 most important cultural giants in Chinese history, and Hu Shi was among them.
Hu Shi received 35 honorary doctorates during his lifetime. The time span is from the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935) to 1959. By discipline: 24 in law, 9 in literature, 1 in humanities, and 1 in unknown disciplines; By country and region: 31 in the United States, 2 in Canada, 1 in the United Kingdom, and 1 in Hong Kong.
According to the current statement, he is a super scholar!
Chiang Kai-shek despised literati in his heart, but he always called Hu Shi "Mr. Shizhi", and he would never be rude. During the War of Liberation, when Chiang Kai-shek couldn't hold the scene, he also asked Hu Shi to be the president of the Republic of China, but unfortunately Hu Shi was also proficient in world affairs while being knowledgeable, he was not a fool.
Hu Shi is still a gentleman, a real humble gentleman.
As long as you have seen Hu Shi himself, you will never deny this fact.
But at this moment, Hu Shi was roaring angrily in the embassy!
can make a gentleman who is known for his elegance and profound knowledge lose his temper like this, because of the two people who are standing in front of Hu Shi, two people who are seeking his refuge...... They claim to be agents of the military command. They say they killed Enrico. Fermi and Robert. Oppenheimer! (To be continued......)
