Episode 99 Hardcore pro-Japanese

This was also the first time that the Soviet Union had received a major intelligence mission since the establishment of the Soviet Union. After receiving the report, Sun Jiye, director of the Soviet Affairs Office, attached great importance to it, and drove from his home to the headquarters that night to deal with it personally.

Soon, this "White Russian" disclosed his identity, occupation, address, family members, social scope, time and reason for coming to Daming, place of birth, age, resume...... and a series of other public information were collected on Sun Jiye's desk. Sun Jiye and several intelligence officials analyzed and quickly found several obvious suspicious points. Several people mostly agreed that it was really possible that it was a Soviet spy who had infiltrated it. In other words, this so-called "White Russia" is actually a "Red Russia".

Sun Jiye interrogated the Soviet intelligence officer overnight. This Soviet intelligence officer was called Viktor? Ivanovich, in his forties, was tall and thin, with a long, thin nose and glass-like eyes. It has the feeling of a very experienced veteran agent.

Ivanovich proposed that he had been ordered by Moscow to have some communication with the Ming high-level first, and if the two sides could reach an agreement, Moscow would send a secret envoy to Nanjing for detailed secret talks.

At around twelve o'clock in the night, Xiang Xiaoqiang was woken up by the fourteen grids beside him.

In the past few days since the war against Japan began, the mood of the 14 Gege has been very low. Xiang Xiaoqiang's focus these days is to appease Fourteen Gege, accompany her every day, and do everything possible to coax her well. In the future, the war against Japan will depend on her in terms of intelligence. Originally, according to Xiang Xiaoqiang, Fourteen Gege still owed him a "female body", but Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to mention it to her now.

Now Xiang Xiaoqiang was woken up by Fourteen Gege and learned that there was an important situation in the headquarters next door. He and Fourteen Gege got up, dressed up, and were led by the maid to a small living room, where they saw the adjutant Hu Jiong.

Hu Jiong briefly took the initiative to find the Soviet intelligence officer, and told him about this matter. Then tell him that now Sun Jiye is in the headquarters, the preliminary interrogation has been completed, and he is preparing to report to the commander.

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded, picked up a telephone in the small living room, and asked the switchboard to pick up the call from the headquarters to the Su Office. At the same time, Fourteen Gege also asked the maid to bring over a telephone extension in the next room, and she sat next to Xiang Xiaoqiang and listened with another receiver.

After a while, Sun Jiye spoke on the other end of the phone.

He first reported the ins and outs of the incident in detail, and then expressed his meaning: the identity of this Soviet intelligence officer should be true. It should have been sent by Moscow.

Next, Sun Jiye reported on the key point - the basic intention put forward by the Soviet side.

"My lord, according to this Ivanovich, the secret talks proposed by Moscow this time are mainly to provide an acceptable path for both sides in consideration of some of the difficulties that both sides are facing."

"Oh......" nodded to Xiaoqiang, and glanced at Fourteen Gege, both of whom had a rough idea in their hearts. He asked, "A path that is acceptable to both sides...... What road? ”

Sun Jiye said on the phone:

He said that Moscow meant that the Ming recognized the Soviet Union's control over the northern and southern frontiers, recognized the 'Uyghur-Er-Stan-Tan Republic,' and recognized the 'Ili Kingdom.' The Soviet Union terminated its aid to Japan, stopped all exports of war materials to Japan, did not recognize Japan's ownership of eastern Outer Mongolia, Jilin Province, and Heilongjiang Province, and supported the Ming Dynasty in recovering these places. In addition, the Soviet Union promised to guarantee the ** of the 'Ili Kingdom', and the Soviet Union would not directly station troops in the 'Ili Kingdom', but would make it a buffer state between the two countries in the Central Asian zone. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang asked:

"Anything else? Gone? ”

孙吉業 says:

"That's all, my lord. Ivanovich said that this is only a general condition, and if the Ming thinks that this basis can be discussed, then Moscow will send people. As for many details, there is still room for negotiation between the two sides. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang glanced at Fourteen Gege again, and said with a smile:

"Director Sun, in your opinion, what about this condition of the Soviets?"

Sun Jiye was quiet for a while, and then said very calmly:

"My lord, in my old and foolish opinion, the Soviet Union is an opportunist. Previously, when he saw that the Ming Dynasty was inefficient in deploying troops in the northern Xinjiang counterinsurgency, he thought that he could settle the Ming Dynasty, so he united with Japan to plot the interests of the Ming Dynasty in Central Asia. Stalin clearly knew that with Japan's military strength and national strength, if the Ming Dynasty met in the Far East, even if he took some advantage in the early stage of the war, he would definitely not be able to maintain it for a long time. However, the Soviet Union can take the opportunity to reap tangible benefits in Central Asia, a place beyond the reach of the Ming whip. Stalin just let Japan take the fire for him.

Now he sees that the Ming Dynasty dealt with Japan, and he played very well at the beginning, not only did he not suffer any big losses on land, but even he fought beautifully at sea, so he must think that Japan, an ally, is more fragile than he imagined. If this continues, not only will it not be able to share the interests of the Ming Dynasty with it, but it will be dragged down by it. It is obvious that Stalin took advantage of Japan and squeezed Japan's value dry, and now he wants to abandon Japan and get closer to the Ming Dynasty. My lord, the old man thinks this is a good opportunity. If we can grasp this mentality of Stalin, it may be easier to pull the Soviet Union over and solve the Japanese problem in one fell swoop. The old man felt that in Stalin's eyes, Japan could already be a victim. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang asked again:

"So what do you mean...... Accept the negotiating basis from the Soviet side? ”

孙吉業 says:

"What the old man means is that no matter what, you can agree to come down first and talk to the Soviet side first. At the same time, we can also intentionally or unintentionally leak the negotiations with the Soviet Union to Japanese spies...... In this way, whether or not the talks can be reached, at least it will strengthen the sense of distrust between the Soviet Union and Japan, and the rift in the alliance between the two sides will widen. There is nothing good for us and no harm for us. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang thought for a moment and said:

"That's it, Director Sun, you first tell that Vicky, it's late today, Commander Ben has already rested, and he hasn't been reported yet. I'll talk about that tomorrow. Dry him overnight. Tomorrow I will report to Your Majesty and make a final decision. ”

Sun Jiye also said:

"Your Excellency has arranged it very well. In this way, the decay first makes people look like Ivanovich. When I go to the headquarters tomorrow, I will obey the arrangement of the adults. ”

"Okay, Director Sun has worked hard."

……

put down the phone and asked Xiaoqiang to go back first. Then he went back to the bedroom with Fourteen.

"Huh...... Ah Fang, ah......" Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and touched his hand, and said tentatively, "You heard it too, what do you think?" ”

Fourteen Gege saw through his meaning at once, smiled, lowered his head and sighed:

"Alas...... You don't have to worry about it. Don't worry, I said a long time ago that I'm only on your side. Say whatever you want, and don't think about my feelings for Japan. Anyway, now the Ming Dynasty is also at war with Japan. Fighting Japan while fighting the Soviet Union is also fighting, and concentrating forces on Japan is also fighting. What do you think, just say it and listen to me. I'll try to advise you as much as I can. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart warmed, hugged Fourteen Gege with a smile, kissed her lightly a few times, and whispered in her ear:

"Good Ah Fang, good Ah Fang...... I knew I didn't like the wrong person in the first place. ”

……

The two turned off the lights, and Fourteen Gege said quietly in the dark:

Sun Jiye's analysis has a certain amount of truth. For Stalin, there was absolutely no morality or faithfulness to speak of. His diplomatic strategy is only five words: if you have milk, you are a mother. This must be borne in mind. I have never been able to figure out how Japan could be dragged into the water by the Soviet Union and taken advantage of it. The brains of those guys in Tokyo are really rusty. Xiaoqiang, you must know that for this point, not only can't I figure it out, but most people in Daming can't figure it out. What are you...... Hmph, that is, relying on intuition, blindfolded. ”

"Hehe," Xiang Xiaoqiang stroked her in the quilt and smiled, "yes, yes." Who got me lucky? ”

Fourteen Gege continued:

"Sun Jiye's suggestion can be considered. We can negotiate with the Soviet Union and then try to get the negotiation through to Japan, and we have to do it so skillfully that Japan thinks that it has stolen it on its own. Over at the Lanzhou Headquarters, Zhao Cunnian hasn't done anything yet, right? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang's mind flashed and said:

"That's right! Well, yes, or you have a vision. At the beginning, I said that I wanted to arrest Zhao Cunnian back for interrogation, but you suggested that he leave it alone and let him pass the information on our behalf...... Now it's ready to use. As long as Zhao Cunnian knows about the Ming-Su negotiations, then Japan will soon know. ”

Fourteen Gege nodded:

"Yes, exactly. But...... Lao Sun Tou only analyzed half of it. I'll finish analyzing the other half for him: what Lao Sun Tou means is to pull the Soviet Union over. This 'pull-over' is probably possible to unite with the Soviet Union to jointly attack Japan and carve up Japan's interests. If we can make up for it with sufficient benefits in the Far East, then it is not inevitable that we will lose the two frontiers of the north and the south. What he meant was that although the northwest part of the country was good, it had very complicated ethnic and religious issues, and it was relatively hot, and it was far less cost-effective than getting Jilin and Heilongjiang.

"And I mean, we don't have to hang ourselves from a tree. We can negotiate with the Soviet Union and explore the possibility of conspiring with Japan, and we can negotiate with Japan and explore the possibility of conspiring with the Soviet Union. We could have stepped on two boats and negotiated secretly with both at the same time. The situation now is that the Soviet Union is locked in a protracted war in Central Asia, with too much power being dragged into Asia and unable to take care of its center of gravity, Europe. As long as the Ming Dynasty did not compromise with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union would not be able to continue the five-year plan for a day, and could only fall into a protracted war with no end in sight. This is something that Stalin never wanted.

"For Japan, it's even worse. The war with the Ming Dynasty was originally a huge gamble, and it was a gamble on Japan's national fortune. And now, in the days since the start of the war, it seems that Japan has lost the bet. Not only did the Japanese army fail to advance quickly and break through to the pass on the land battlefield, but they also lost troops one after another on the sea battlefield, and sometimes it was not reflected at all. What's even more terrifying is that Japan has no war potential, as long as it can't win the first leg and force the Ming Dynasty to negotiate peace, then it has no chance of winning the next round. Once defeated, not only would Manchuria and Outer Mongolia not be able to keep their new territories, but even Korea would be in jeopardy. …… Hmph, I thought those guys in Tokyo must have repented of their intestines now. If they had to go back in time and choose again, they would have had another choice.

"For Daming, the current situation is not optimistic. At war with two countries at the same time. Fighting on two fronts is a taboo in war, and everyone knows this. Although the national strength of the Ming Dynasty can hold up and there is an army that is quite capable of fighting, the Ming Dynasty has just finished a war of unification, and the entire north has not had time to digest it, and the politics, economy, and law of the original clearing land have not had time to straighten out. Also, Zhu Yourong has promised universal suffrage after the war. Then it is not good for this war to drag on for too long. If it drags on for too long, even if the national strength can withstand it, the people's support will be lost. Among the three countries of the Ming Dynasty, the 'public opinion' is the most vulnerable.

Therefore, no matter which two countries are now, there is every possibility of moving towards a joint attack on a third country. At present, the two countries are united. But it is clear that the USSR intends to abandon its allies, and this alliance is going to break. Then a new alliance will definitely emerge. Either the Ming Dynasty and Japan, or the Ming Dynasty and the Soviet Union. The weight is in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, we should put up the shelf, and we cannot say that as soon as the Soviet Union invites us, we will unite with it. We should wait for the price and sell, to see if the price given by the Soviet Union is high, or the price given by Japan is high. If the price offered by Japan is high, why should we unite with Japan and conspire with the Soviet Union? …… At least the Soviet Union is a country without faith, if you have milk, you are a mother, and turning your face is faster than turning a book. Japan is not such a country. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty and Japan's political systems are the closest to each other, both are constitutional monarchies, and both are working the road to democratic constitutional government. As long as the two countries unite, what contradictions will there be in the future that cannot be resolved? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang held the hand of Fourteen Gege, but his heart was pounding when he listened. He immediately thought: sure enough...... The face of the fourteen-grid hardcore pro-Japanese faction was really revealed at this time......
