Chapter 106: Reactions from all sides
In the Moscow Kremlin, a small bearded man rarely took off the pipe he had been holding in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Those agrarian revolutionaries in China actually exterminated 40,000 Japanese monkeys?" ”
"The Japanese side did not deny, respected Comrade Stalin." Although Molotov, chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union, was the number two person in the Soviet Union, he was always respectful in front of Stalin, but seeing that Stalin was in a good mood, he was also a little bolder, and rarely took the initiative to propose to him, "If the Chinese comrades really achieved such a victory, then can we consider giving them a certain amount of support and letting them deal a greater blow to the Japanese warlords?" ”
"Let's get to the bottom of the facts." Stalin quickly smiled, picked up his pipe, took a puff, and said to himself, "It's time to strengthen foreign intelligence work, and you really shouldn't send Berzin out"
At this time in Berlin, a mustache was in deep thought with a changing face, "I can't imagine that those Japanese monkeys can't even defeat the Chinese rebels, are they really capable of helping the empire to flank Soviet Russia?" Or should we reconsider our China policy? But soon he jerked his head up, slapped the table and shouted, "Call Canaris (the head of the Nazi German Military Intelligence Bureau)!" I want detailed information, the sooner the better! ”
Sorge, a German who was both a member of the CPSU and a member of the Nazi Party, found out the accurate number of Japanese casualties and the general course of those battles through his intelligence network in the Far East, especially Hidemi Ozaki, a reporter for the Asahi Shimbun who graduated from Tokyo Imperial University in Japan, and reported them to Moscow and Berlin respectively
The bearded man had commanded such a tough battle as the Battle of Tsaritsyn, and he was far from being as ignorant of military affairs as many people in later generations thought, and he only took a cursory look at it and realized that there was actually a great deal of chance in such an exaggerated victory, and that Red Army unit should not be really strong enough to annihilate 40,000 Japanese troops at once. But at least more than 10,000 of them were indeed eaten by them, and from this point of view, the current strength of this Red Army is at least enough to compete with a Japanese division, even Stalin can no longer ignore it, but for Molotov's suggestion to support the Chinese comrades, Stalin still immediately vetoed, "Even if they are stronger than we originally estimated, they cannot be compared with the Chinese government army, which now has two million and can mobilize more troops at any time, not to mention the value of China to the Soviet Union, It was not a matter of exterminating the Japanese monkeys, but of holding them back and buying time for our industrialization and the upgrading of the Red Army's weaponry, and in this respect the Chiang government in China was undoubtedly more trustworthy, both in depth and in strength, which the agrarian revolutionaries could not match. When our industrialization is completed, and the powerful Red Army of millions, tens of millions, or tens of millions of powerful Red Army is armed, whether it is Western imperialism or Eastern imperialism, it will be crushed under the iron fist of the Soviets. ”
As for the mustache, he also made the same judgment "as a hero", but after all, he was still a little disappointed in the combat strength of the Japanese army, and from then on he inevitably despised Japan more, and Germany was now in urgent need of China's bristles and rare metals such as tungsten and antimony, so compared with history, the national government changed more weapons and equipment from Germany. However, because of the resurgence of the "Gan bandits", the government has been unable to provide sufficient tungsten sand to Germany according to the agreement since the second half of 35 years, which has delayed the completion of Germany's war reserves, which has seriously affected the expansion of the mustache and made the mustache gradually anxious
The series of victories since the advance into North China not only effectively refuted the slander of the Red Party by the national government, but also Hu Weidong suddenly became a great hero known to women and children in China, and a direct impact brought about by this was that the number of people who defected to the Soviet area greatly increased. Among these people, there are many well-known scholars in later generations, including those who are already shijie-level experts, such as Wu Xian (Note 1), director of the Department of Biochemistry of Peking Union Medical College (Note 1), and Wu Youxun and Zhou Peiyuan, professors of physics at Tsinghua University, Zhang Dayu, professor of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Hua Luogeng, assistant professor of the Department of Mathematics, Qian Weichang, graduate student Qian Weichang, Qian Sanqiang, He Zehui, Wang Dayan, who are about to graduate, Chen Fangyun, a college student in the Department of Physics, Wu Ziliang, a college student at Beiyang Institute of Technology, Guo Yonghuai, an assistant professor in the Department of Physics of Peking University, Ding Daoheng, an assistant professor in the Department of Geology, is also a top expert and scholar in various scientific research fields in China. …,
In addition, there are some important figures specially sent by Hu Weidong, such as Shijie-level geology master Li Siguang, meteorologist Zhu Kezhen, physicist Wang Ganchang and biologist Tong Dizhou, who are currently teaching at Shandong University, and Shi Jinmo, the first person in the field of Chinese medicine in China, and the methods are also different.
Li Siguang's thinking has always been radical and he has always had a good impression of the Red Party, and although he had put forward the concept of geomechanics at this time, no one supported it at all, whether at home or abroad, and even his thesis that "glaciers once existed in the Quaternary period of Lushan" with detailed evidence was rashly denied by foreign geologists who looked down on Chinese and domestic geologists who blindly obeyed foreign authorities. Unconvinced, Li Siguang was preparing to go to Lushan to collect more powerful evidence, but Hu Weidong sent a letter to him through the underground party praising geomechanics and putting forward some of his own views, and was immediately cited by Li Siguang as a confidant, plus Li Siguang was a staunch patriot, just for the Anti-Japanese War, it was enough for him to let go of everything and accept Hu Weidong's invitation to go to Luoyang. With this once-in-a-century geological genius and Sun Yueqi, an outstanding talent who is good at mining management, the rich mineral resources under the western Henan Soviet area are expected to be fully exploited, which is of no too high estimation of its significance to the western Henan Soviet region, which is surrounded by enemies.
Note 1: Wu Xian was the first to propose a method for measuring blood sugar on shijie, and discovered the law of protein denaturation and renaturation, both of which were fully qualified for the Nobel Prize, but because China had no status in shijie at that time, and the international scientific community in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century was indeed full of talents, and finally missed the Nobel Prize, but even so, in 1936, Wu Xian was already recognized as a first-class biochemical expert in Shijie, He is also one of the best medicinal chemists and nutritionists in China
