Chapter 299 - There are tricks
"Have you been a little too proud lately and looked down on the Japanese too much?"
It took Chiang Kai-shek a long time to come back to his senses, and after making sure that Qin Wei was not joking, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous...... Although the Air Force has been winning battles recently, his family background is not solid. There are only a few hundred planes, and there is no place to replenish the loss. What's more, they have just bombed Japan, and as long as the Japanese are not idiots and fools, they will definitely pay great attention to air defense. At this time, do you want to go again and use the devil's anti-aircraft guns as targets?
"It's not that I look down on the Japanese, it's really God's favor, and I'm afraid I'll be blamed for it." Qin Wei said with a smile.
"Why don't you take it, but take the blame?" Chiang Kai-shek asked rhetorically.
"The Japanese are too crazy, they don't have such a big belly, but they have to spread the battle line so long and ...... so big," Qin Wei sneered, "Now their army is divided into two parts, one part is trapped in the Soviet battlefield, and they dare not slack off in the slightest; Some of them have just finished fighting with us, and they haven't eased up yet...... It's a model of being beaten and not being able to fight back. Where are we going to blow him up? ”
"Jokes. I want you to bomb Tokyo, can you? Chiang Kai-shek couldn't see Qin Wei's arrogant appearance, and retorted very facelessly.
"Bombing Tokyo? Hey, that's not really a problem. Qin Wei said with a smile.
"What did you say?" Chiang Kai-shek's face changed, "Can it really be fried?" ”
"The straight-line distance from Tokyo to Shanghai is only more than 1,700 kilometers, and it is almost the same as Ningbo, and with our current main bomber, that is, the TB-3 Tupolev heavy bomber supported by the Soviet Union, it can fly there. But...... Can't fly back. Qin Wei said.
"Then you still say it can be fried?" Chiang Kai-shek felt that Qin Wei was fooling himself.
"Why can't it be fried? But the premise is that we must bear the loss, the loss of the aircraft! Qin Wei said.
"Just airplanes? And what about pilots? Can you get back when you get there? Chiang Kai-shek said: "The most important thing in the Air Force is the pilot!" You can still buy an airplane if you lose it, but if you lose a pilot, it will take several years! You are the commander of the Air Force, don't you still understand this? ”
"So we're going to do a good job of receiving." Qin Wei said: "We can send one or several merchant ships in advance. Calculate the time and prepare for the sea near Tokyo in the name of transportation or trade. Once the bombing is complete, the pilot flies over the merchant ship for the rest of the bomber's voyage, parachutes to escape, and is then rescued by the merchant ship! ”
"Ridiculous!" Chiang Kai-shek didn't blink an eye, "The Japanese navy is strong. Will you watch your boats run away? ”
"So use foreign merchant ships. Do a good job of hiding too! Qin Wei said with a smile: "As long as there is no trace of the pilot on these merchant ships, the Japanese will not dare to forcibly detain them, no matter how arrogant they are." What's more, we can make many arrangements, such as using one or two merchant ships as bait to make all kinds of false appearances. Pretending to be a pilot's lead ship, luring the Japanese Navy into pursuit, giving the real merchant ship time and space, and so on! ”
"......," Chiang Kai-shek groaned. He really didn't expect Qin Wei to really think of a way...... But thinking about the consequences, he decided to forget it. The bombing of a few cities in Kyushu alone was enough for the Japanese to make a fuss. If you bomb Tokyo again...... The Japanese had to fight another big war right away. Although they did win a few battles some time ago, the losses were also not small. The Japanese haven't relented yet. How did he come back from rest?
"How? Chairman. him again? ”
Qin Wei could see that Lao Jiang was a little hesitant. The allure of bombing Tokyo is too strong. It can definitely make the prestige of the Nationalist Government and Lao Jiang rise to the highest level. But what Lao Jiang wanted, he also wanted. If they bombed Tokyo, it would certainly terrify the Japanese, but it would also greatly infuriate the Japanese...... When the time comes, the retaliation of the Japanese will certainly be extremely tragic.
"Forget it. At this time, it is not advisable to provoke Japan too much. Or a little longer. We'll talk about it when we're almost ready. Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand, helplessly suppressing the desire in his heart. In fact, he still wanted to bomb Tokyo, but to do so would be tantamount to declaring war directly on Japan...... Since the Japanese invasion, the two countries have not formally declared war. All keep the last hand.
"It's a great opportunity. Wait a little longer, and Ningbo will be gone. "Qin Wei is still seducing Lao Jiang. He was actually in a dilemma. On the one hand, they were worried about Japan's retaliation, and on the other hand, they felt that such a bombing might make the Japanese shrink...... After all, the bombing of the capital is too exciting for the Japanese, who have always bullied the weak and feared the hard. The country is not safe anymore, do you still have the face to continue to invade other countries? At least they think twice when they send troops abroad.
"You're taking it for granted." Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Qin Wei, "From Ningbo to Japan, if you bomb Tokyo, you will have to fly over Honshu Island...... The Japanese are now frightened birds, do you think our bombers will be able to go undetected for such a long time? Their goals will not be deduced by the Japanese? Moreover, there must also be Japanese air bases around Tokyo, and if they encounter the opponent's fighter planes with bombers alone, will they not be slaughtered by others? ”
"You have a point. Qin Wei thought for a moment, "Or...... Shall we tell the Soviets about this plan? ”
"Huh?" Chiang Kai-shek was stunned when he heard this. What is the matter with this Qin Wei who has to bomb Tokyo? Even the Soviets were involved? But he was eager to hear what the kid thought: "How? ”
"Shanghai is more than 1,700 miles away from Tokyo, but Vladivostok is only more than 1,000 miles away from Tokyo, enough for TB-3 to fly back and forth, and it has not fallen until now!" Qin Wei smiled a little thief, "So, I think it's necessary for us to give Umezu Mijiro a little motivation." ”
"You mean ......"
"Let the Soviets take off from Vladivostok, cross the Sea of Japan, and plunge into Tokyo......" Qin Wei's finger slammed on the table.
"Vladivostok has long been surrounded by Japanese troops, and the Soviets can only support it by airdrop. Where else are the airports where they can take off and land? Chiang Kai-shek said.
"Let the Soviets build it! The airstrip doesn't take long. Qin Wei said with a smile.
"......" Chiang Kai-shek's heart was stirred again. Not to mention, he just didn't expect to use the Soviets to bomb Tokyo...... Can the great powers also be used by the Chinese? But Qin Wei's idea does have considerable operability. What is the character of the Soviets? When he heard that the Air Force was going to bomb Kyushu Island, he rushed up to the top of the island in order to breathe a sigh of relief, and Qin Wei took the opportunity to extort another batch of aerial bombs...... Now that the bombing is over, Moscow immediately declares to the whole Soviet Union that this is the feat of Soviet pilots! Of course, he borrowed a piece of land from the Chinese. Shameless? It's normal. Who doesn't boast about themselves when they encounter such a thing? The national government cannot afford to show face in these areas and at this time. However, no matter how shameless the Soviet government was, they must still have some confidence in the last bombing campaign...... Xu Huansheng and Tong Yanbo are the real leaders, and most of the bombers are also Chinese over, to put it bluntly, they are just mixing in one foot, supporting roles...... With the character of Stalin and others, now that they have the opportunity to be the protagonist and play a one-man show, it is definitely impossible to let go easily. As for the question of the somewhat high difficulty of this operation, the great Bolsheviks would have been afraid of these difficulties?
"Do you want me to go find Chuikov?" Qin Wei asked Chiang Kai-shek again.
“…… You can talk to him. "Lao Jiang is a little lonely. Bomb Tokyo! Once successful, it will inevitably shock the whole world. Lao Jiang really wanted to announce the news to the whole world by himself. It's a pity that he is very self-aware. At this time, China was still much weaker than Japan. If the Chinese Air Force had bombed Tokyo, the Japanese would have done their best to retaliate, but the Soviets were different...... It's a big deal to be beaten down by the Japanese and cut down the sea cudivostok, what's there? Anyway, the current Vladivostok has been heavily surrounded, and it has long been a lonely city, and it may fall one day. Rather than that, it would be better for it to contribute a little more to the USSR before it fell.
"The chairman is wise." Qin Wei gave a thumbs up, "I'll go find that old man later." ”
"It's your business when to look for it." Lao Jiang didn't care, the credit and reputation didn't belong to him, he really couldn't arouse too much interest, "Didn't you just say that you can bomb Japan wherever you want?" If the Soviets really decided to bomb Tokyo, then we shouldn't be idle......"
"No problem. I've already chosen my goals. Qin Wei said.
"Where?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.
"Ningbo...... Do you want to withdraw first? Qin Wei suddenly asked.
"I'm asking where are you going to bomb?" Chiang Kai-shek was annoyed. This kid is still bargaining with him.
"Chairman of the Committee, this time the Japanese are advancing by sea and land, and they are menacing, and if the defenders of Ningbo carry it hard, they will lose in vain. It's not easy for them. From the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War to the present, Ningbo has been kept intact, and enough has been done. Qin Wei pleaded.
"When did I say I wanted them to carry it? I'm just going to let them watch for a few days, at least look like they're going to do it, right? Otherwise, if they flee without a fight, what will the common people think? Chiang Kai-shek shouted.
"But I'm worried that once there is an exchange of fire, the Japanese will not give them a chance to escape." Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "We really hurt them this time." ”
“…… So where are you going to target this time? As long as I can recover the losses in Ningbo, I will agree with them to abandon it. Chiang Kai-shek breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Qin Wei had killed the idea. Seriously, he really didn't want the Ningbo defenders to abandon it, and it was not good to do too much of this kind of thing. Even if it's pretending, you have to keep it for two days. Chairman Chiang's current image is extremely "great and upright," and he must not be tarnished too seriously.
"What do you think of Taiwan?" (To be continued......)
