Episode 59 The Soviet Union declares war

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Fourteen Gege decided to send a "working group" to the Lanzhou Headquarters, and they decided to leave the matter to the stomachache.

I got such an important task again, and I was very excited about my stomach ache, and I promised to complete the task in a loud voice. After Xiang Xiaoqiang returned to Nanjing, he had a stomachache and kept trying to behave well. It can be seen that he cherishes this opportunity very much.

Stomach ache went to arrange. Xiang Xiaoqiang discussed with Fourteen Gege for a while, and drew up a plan to narrow down the scope of the suspect.

Xiang Xiaoqiang picked up the phone and asked the switchboard to transfer to the Lanzhou Headquarters.

It was quickly connected.

Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't look for Zhao Cunnian, but only found Sun Gaogang, the commander of the Fourth Division. Xiang Xiaoqiang pretended to be very angry, opened his mouth and said:

"Sun Gaogang, what's going on? You're arguing that you have to transfer a division, right? Yes? Don't you know that there are only two divisions on my side? Don't you know that the People's Guard's primary duty is to defend the capital? It's all transferred, in case something happens to the east, who am I looking for! ”

Sun Gaogang was stunned for a while, and it took him half a day to react, and he immediately shouted:

"My lord, you wronged your subordinates, and your subordinates didn't make any noise to transfer troops!"

"Then who is going to transfer troops?"

孙高gang says:

"Yes...... It was the Chief of Staff who decided to request reinforcements! ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang snorted and said:

"Chief of Staff? Wouldn't it, the chief of staff still doesn't understand this? Who came up with his idea? ”

Sun Gaogang was stunned:

"Your Excellency...... This...... No one came up with an idea with the Chief of Staff, it was the Chief of Staff who decided for himself. But...... My lord, it's true that we're struggling here......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang said "um", then groaned, and began to pray in his heart: The most critical sentence is to be asked, and it must go well.

Then, in a casual tone, he asked:

"The chief of staff decided for himself? When did he say he was going to transfer troops? ”

"Oh," Sun Gaogang said, "it's this morning's morning meeting." The Chief of Staff said this at an early military meeting. ”

This morning! Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart tightened, and he said secretly: Sure enough!

He steadied his breath and said:

"This ...... Was it first announced this morning? Did you tell you before? ”

"Oh, I want to think about it...... It doesn't seem to be. ”

"Doesn't seem to have one?"

"Oh, not like, yes or no." Speaking of this, Sun Gaogang seemed to hear something wrong, and asked tentatively, "My lord, is he the chief of staff...... Isn't it......? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:

"Oh, nothing. Gao Gang, don't say anything to the chief of staff when you go back. Don't tell anyone about it. Do you understand? ”

Sun Gaogang muttered in his heart, but he still held back, and said casually:

"Oh, don't worry, my lord, I won't tell anyone."

"Good."

Xiang Xiaoqiang put down the phone, looked at Fourteen Gege, and said slowly:

"It should be Zhao Cunnian."

Fourteen Gege slowly narrowed his eyes, also with an expression of disbelief.

"Zhao Cunnian ......," she muttered, "he is already the chief of staff of the People's Guard, how likely is it that he will be recruited by foreign spies?" ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang sat down slowly, took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked. After a while, he looked up and said:

"Ah Fang, if it's really Zhao Cunnian, then the problem is really serious. The chief of staff of the People's Guard Mobile Brigade turned out to be a foreign spy......"

Fourteen Gege didn't speak. She sat for a while, raised her hand and rang the bell to call the secretary and ask her to come with a stomachache. Then, Fourteen Gege told him to send someone to Lanzhou to list Zhao Cunnian as a key suspect. Once circumstantial evidence is found, Zhao Cunnian will be escorted back immediately.

After leaving with a stomachache, Fourteen Gege looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang and said quietly:

"Xiaoqiang...... It's not impossible. Although he now has a high position, it is entirely possible that he is a spy. Merely...... It won't be recruited now. That's really impossible. I mean...... It is possible that earlier, when he was still various junior officers, or even when he was still in a military school, he was dragged into the water. Xiaoqiang, you know it too. In our espionage business, if you want to pull people into the water to be spies, it is the first time and the second time. As long as you spy once, the handle will fall into the hands of others and be controlled by others. If you don't want to wash your hands halfway, it's impossible, you can only sink deeper and deeper. If you guessed correctly, Zhao Cunnian is such a spy. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang stared at the fourteen grids and said slowly:

"Ah Fang, what do you think...... What country is he a spy? ”

Fourteen Gege smiled and sighed:

"It's redundant. It must be Japanese. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled slightly, didn't speak, just opened his arms, and Fourteen Gege leaned on his arms very obediently.

Xiang Xiaoqiang stroked her hair and whispered:

"Ah Fang...... In case we really want to go to war with Japan, you have to be mentally prepared...... I know that you were sent to Japan when you were six years old and came back in your twenties, and even Chinese was taught by the Japanese...... Japan is your second home. I know it's ...... emotionally for you."

Fourteen Gege chuckled and shook his head:

"Xiaoqiang, don't worry, if it really happens, I will be like in the Northern Expedition. I'm not a little girl anymore, and I won't let those simple emotions control my mind. Since I was a child, I have experienced so much, and now I have learned to put aside what 'first hometown' and only plan for my own interests. You don't want to think about it, where is my status, my wealth, my power, my happiness now? Can I keep this without this place under my feet? Hehe......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang hugged Fourteen Gege, listening to her smile and say these very sad and cold words, and I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart. He patted Fourteen Gege on the back and put his mouth in her ear to say something. After thinking about it, I couldn't think of the most suitable thing, so I had to say one word softly:

"Good ......"

……

On July 3, at three o'clock in the morning, Xiang Xiaoqiang was pushed awake. He opened his sleepy eyes and saw Fourteen Gege sitting on the edge of the bed in his pajamas.

"What's going on......" he muttered, reaching for the lamp, "what's wrong?" ”

Fourteen Gege whispered:

"The Soviet Union declared war on the Ming Dynasty."

With that, she stood up, walked to the corner, turned on the radio on the wooden shelf, and quickly tuned into the Jinling radio station.

The Voice of Jinling was broadcasting Stalin's declaration of war speech. This is already translated into Chinese.

- Sure enough, Stalin's main reasons were two: the Ming Dynasty's aggression against the "Ili Kingdom" and the "Uyghur-Er-Tan-Republic-Republic-State"; The Ming Dynasty brazenly sent warships to threaten the Soviet waters from both ends of Asia and Europe, and carried out a brutal invasion of the Soviet Union.

After the broadcast of Stalin's speech, the radio broadcast the speech of the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR Livinov. Litvinov called on the US Government to adhere to the "Neutrality Act," cherish the precious status of the United States as a neutral country, and refrain from sending war materials to belligerent countries.

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Fourteen Gege listened to the radio and looked at each other. Neither was apparently too surprised. Everyone has been mentally prepared for this incident for a long time, and they all know that it will happen sooner or later.

"When will we be able to respond?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang asked.

Fourteen Gege guessed:

"It will also take an hour or two later. …… It doesn't matter if war is declared, now everyone can let go and fight. ”
