Episode 126 Changing Rapidly

Although they were ordered to do everything possible to bring General Denikin to Daming, they were very unimpressed by the harsh conditions offered by Denikin. As Xiang Xiaoqiang thought, Denikin wanted to lead the Russians to overthrow the Bolsheviks and establish a new regime, so it was impossible without the full help of the Ming Dynasty. Although Stalin is very unpopular now, the Red Army is very strong after all, and it is not something that the White Army can confront now, and it must rely on the Ming Dynasty to provide weapons, food, and fuel, as well as a large number of military personnel, to directly command the operation. It was almost certain that the Ming air force would definitely enter Russian territory and fight directly with the Red Army Air Force.

Da Ming has paid so much, what is it for? In other words, the Ming Dynasty originally wanted to use its own army to "invade" Russia and seek benefits for the Ming Dynasty. Now, at your Denikin's request, the Ming army does not directly enter Russia, but only spends money to arm your Denikin's army, so from the position of the Ming Dynasty, it is natural to regard Denikin's White Guards as "agents in Russia" and "invade" Russia for the Ming army. It's nothing more than Daming paying money and guns, and Denikin giving people. Regardless of whether Daming is the boss behind the scenes or as a partner, how can there be a reason to win, but he can't sit and share the interests?

Xiang Xiaoqiang then had another doubt: it seems that it is not the time to actively win over Denikin now. Aren't negotiations with the Soviet Union underway now? To be precise, now Daming is fighting with both sides at the same time, and at the same time trying to make both sides take the initiative to make peace. In this way, Daming can get the greatest profit by waiting for the price to sell. Now that the negotiations with the Soviet Union have not yet been fruitful, just taking Denikin to Daming will definitely stimulate the Soviet Union and make the negotiations unsuccessful.

The first doubt, Fourteen Gege smiled and solved it in a few words. Denikin was a very patriotic general, and although he hated the Bolsheviks, he also took the national interests of Russia very seriously. Moreover, over the years, Denikin has established a high prestige in the international community and among overseas White Russians, which is inseparable from his consistent patriotic image. Denikin naturally cherished his feathers very much, for fear of being tarnished by suspicions such as "Russian traitor" and "traitor". And "colluding with foreign ** teams to enter their own land to fight with their compatriots", no matter how you look at this, it is not easy to get rid of this suspicion.

Therefore, Fourteen Gege concluded that there was a great deal of posturing in Deniking's condition. We must first take a clear stand and set out our own conditions, and perhaps we will announce them to the whole world, so as to prove that I Denikin fought against the Bolsheviks for the sake of the Russian people, and not for the sake of betraying the country. However, Fourteen Gege estimated that once Denikin's team was pulled up, it might not be the opponent of the Soviet Red Army at the beginning. After losing several battles in a row, he was desperate in the end, and it was inevitable that he would ask Daming for help again and ask Daming to send troops directly. At that time, Da Ming Zheng could further negotiate conditions and ask for benefits.

Anyway, if the Ming can overthrow the Stalin regime without having to kill a lot of people, or at least establish a "Free Russian Republic" in Eastern Siberia and Central Asia, then the security of the Ming north will be much better. If the two Russias can coexist, then the free Russia that is close to the Ming Dynasty will definitely be very afraid of the Soviet Union and very dependent on the Ming Dynasty. Friendliness is a yes, and so is obedience.

Xiang Xiaoqiang understood. That will lead to a relationship similar to that between the United States, South Korea, and North Korea in the future. The remnants of the Soviet Union in the west are North Korea, the new Russia in the east is South Korea, and the Ming is the United States. Well, the relationship is certainly ideal.

As for the second doubt, Fourteen Gege was also puzzled.

……

The next day, Xiang Xiaoqiang returned to the headquarters, and just sat down at his table, Qiu Xiuxiu next to him poured tea and took documents, and put Xiang Xiaoqiang's favorite cigarette brand on the table. After leaving them for the night, what I got when I came back was not a cold face, not a temperament, but a more gentle and virtuous person, flattering and pleasing him.

Xiang Xiaoqiang sipped tea, smoked a cigarette, lay on a comfortable leather chair, comfortably browsed a few reports, and glanced at Qiuqiu and Xiuxiu next to him with a smile, not only in his heart:

- Ahh It's good to have competition. As soon as competition is introduced, the person who has the right to choose will immediately become a master. When there is competition in the business field, the customer becomes the master. When there is competition in the political field, the voters become the masters. Even the wives have competition with each other, and the one who becomes the husband has become a master.

After thinking about this for a while, Xiang Xiaoqiang found that Xiuxiu and Qiuyun were looking at him and smiling very sweetly. Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at them and asked with a smile:

"Why are you smiling so sweetly? Is there anything good? ”

Qiu Yun came up with a grin and said with a smile:

"Xiaoqiang, guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

"The people of the Blackfish have been found and rescued."

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned and said with a smile:

"Ah, that's good! Oh, a good thing, a good thing. But ......"

He looked at Qiu Yu, and it seemed to be a little exaggerated. Say to Xiao Qiangxin, do you still have friends on the Blackfish?

Qiu Yu smiled again:

"Xiaoqiang...... Do you know which submarine saved the Blackfish? ”

"Which one?"

"Gongfu!"

"Oh," repeated the name to Xiaoqiang, "Gongbu number?" Sounds familiar! ”

Qiu Yu grinned and said:

"Of course it sounds familiar! When we fled back from the Northern Qing Dynasty, whose submarine were we sitting on? It's the cloth number! Captain Wu Haiqiong will be back soon, and I still want to have a meal with Xiuxiu and you, let's invite Captain Wu to have a meal together, and everyone will catch up with the old days. Speaking of which, we haven't thanked them yet. …… Xiaoqiang, what do you say? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang also suddenly realized and remembered. Gongbu, Wu Haiqiong, is the big submarine that he took with a large group of girls, commandos, and fourteen Gege and Xiao Wu who were "coerced" from Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao! At the beginning, the beds on the boat were limited, so the girls were allowed to sleep, and he took a group of old men to squeeze into the torpedo compartment, and squeezed all the way back to the East China Sea Fleet...... Hehe, the scene at the beginning is now vivid.

He also felt that Qiu Yun's proposal was good, and nodded:

"Very good, that's a good idea, we should thank people. You two go ahead and arrange it. After Captain Wu returns to Nanjing, you will invite people. …… Soon, the large-scale submarine warfare of the Ming Dynasty will begin, and the submarine force is very important. For both private and public purposes, we must have a good relationship with the front-line officers and men of the submarine force. ”

……

After that, Xiang Xiaoqiang took out the minutes of the meeting with Denikin that Fourteen Gege gave him, handed it to Xiuxiu, and asked her to watch it, and then he had to cooperate closely with Fourteen Gege and Fourteen Gege, and then the People's Guard would pay more attention to the secret talks in Paris. In particular, it is necessary to find out why the East Factory is trying to win over Denikin at this juncture. Recently, the People's Guard Corps has invested too much in intelligence on Japan, and too little in other areas, so that a lot of "work" has been taken over by Dongchang. Now Dongchang must have something in his hands that the People's Guard does not know. Listen to your thoughts.

Xiuxiu took the order and left. Qiu Yu also reported to him the latest movements of the Tianshu subfleet. The Tianshu detachment passed through the Taiwan Strait last night, and now it is sailing along the southern coast of Zhejiang, and it will be able to return to its base on Zhoushan Island today. Neither the Michinoku squadron nor the four battleships deployed in the East China Sea had any intention of taking the initiative to meet them and seek a decisive battle. It seems that after the integration of the two fleets, the Tianshu sub-fleet was so powerful that the Japanese army did give up its plan to fight hard. Or, they did not intend to go deep into the range of the Ming army's shore-based aircraft and fight a decisive battle with the Ming fleet of equal strength. That's a loss.

In recent days, Xiang Xiaoqiang has also focused on the navy. For the land battlefield, he paid too little attention. Now turning around and looking at the Northeast Battlefield, the Ming army has driven most of the Japanese troops out of the two provinces of Mukden and Jilin, and most of the Japanese army has either retreated south to Korea or retreated north into Heilongjiang, while the two provinces of Mukden and Jilin in the middle have been basically controlled by the Ming army. In other words, the Japanese troops of several divisions in Heilongjiang in the north can be said to have been cut off from the back road and have become lone troops.

The future of these Japanese troops is either to surrender - of course, Xiang Xiaoqiang thinks that this is unlikely. Either wiped out by the Ming army - then the Ming army will pay heavy casualties. Because the Japanese army was already a mourning soldier and a trapped beast at this time. Either these Japanese troops took advantage of the Soviet Union and returned to Korea, or Japan itself. This one, Xiang Xiaoqiang thinks it is more likely.

Next, it would be valuable for the Ming army to invade Soviet territory to the east, occupy the line of Vladivostok, and block the land road for the Japanese army to return to Korea through the Soviet Union. In addition, the Ming submarines in the Sea of Japan should be vigilant and seize the opportunity to sink the Japanese troop carriers. Those troop carriers full of returning Japanese troops, every time they sank, it was equivalent to destroying half of the Japanese army's division. That torpedo was more effective than the army's tens of millions of shells.
