Rogue behavior is never a good word, and no one likes scoundrels. But in Li Xiaofeng's view, this is to be divided into occasions, and it is indeed very inferior to be a scoundrel to oneself, but it is necessary to say two things about being a scoundrel to outsiders, and on the big stage of international politics, not being a scoundrel is equivalent to being a fool. Especially between big and big countries, you have to be a scoundrel.
For example, when China and the United States established diplomatic relations, there was an established resolution on the Wanwan issue, but in a blink of an eye, the US Congress put China together, and then it went on all the way. Is the US imperialist scoundrel? But that is to safeguard national interests, and the people of US imperialism are still applauding!
Li Xiaofeng thinks that there is a saying that is very correct -- people cannot be too honest, horses are good at being ridden, and people are good at being bullied by others. This is the truth of the ages. If you want to survive smoothly in this complex society, you can't honestly obey the mercy of others, and you can't completely follow the rhythm of others. Such a person will not have much interest in his life, and even a nest.
Of course, being dishonest does not mean being bad, nor does it mean doing everything. The so-called dishonesty is an attitude of survival, and it is easy to discuss small things and not sloppy to discuss big things. Don't always think about things from the perspective of others, Huaxia people are too modest and even tolerant, and when they should protect their own interests, they have to defend them, and they have to be like Yang Zhu without plucking a hair.
People are still like this, and even more so is the big collective of countries, and we have to adhere to principles on issues of national interests. When you meet shameless people, you have to be even more shameless.
Anyway, Li Xiaofeng is such a way of thinking, how much effort Lao Tzu has made in international affairs, he will gain as much as he wants, and he will resolutely not do the business of losing money. The British and American two of you think that Lao Tzu doesn't know, and you are stupid to be Lao Tzu. Then I can only assume that you are two hundred and five.
What the. You say this is a non-compliance with the agreement? You are the first villain to break the contract! What the. You say there are no facts of the crime? There is no fact that Lao Tzu breached the contract? Lao Tzu said that he would not declare war on Japan? Lao Tzu's statement was that the supplies were tight, the preparations were not sufficient, and the pressure on the German side was too great, so it could only be delayed. What, you ask how long is it delayed? It depends on the situation, when the situation improves, and when the agreement will be fulfilled.
You said that time was pressing, and I hope Lao Tzu will declare war as soon as possible. Hey, that's easy. Give me more help. The more aid you give, the shorter the period of preparation will naturally be shortened.
When Roosevelt heard this, he was angry enough, a certain immortal was clearly extortion, that is, he was playing hooligans in an open and honest manner, and what made him angry was that he couldn't help it. Between countries, you can deceive and dig holes recklessly, but there is one point, don't cry if you are trapped. Because no one will sympathize with you.
And this time, caught by the Russians in pigtails. He could only admit it. The most important thing now is to let the Soviet Union declare war on Japan as soon as possible, and give more supplies just as feeding the dogs.
So soon Roosevelt made the decision to step up material aid to the Soviet Union, in his words: "to meet all the demands of the Soviet Union, so that the Russians have nothing to say." At that time, even if they break their promise, they will lose their international credibility, and I don't think the Russians will be so short-sighted. ”
Of course, Li Xiaofeng was not so short-sighted, in fact, even if Roosevelt refused to strengthen aid, at most it would drag on for a month or two, and he would declare war on Japan. Because this is related to the strategic layout of the Soviet Union in the future. Since the second half of 1944, there have been moves on the Japanese side.
In the Pacific theater, the devils were in ruins, and the once invincible Combined Fleet was beaten to the ground by the US Navy, and there was almost no power to fight back. And on the islands and reefs, the devil can only sit and wait for death. Even because the **** anti-Japanese armed forces were extremely active, the devils fell into passivity on the Chinese battlefield. In order to open up the communication lines and further pressure the Scraping People's Party to surrender, the devils decided to launch a large-scale campaign. This is the famous Battle of Yuxianggui, also known as the Battle of Opening the Mainland's Communication Lines.
In history, in this battle, the scraping army was a thousand miles away, and the 500,000 troops of Tang Ran were really face-to-face, so that the common people of Henan could not stand it, and it was difficult to repair the "Tang disaster" and its generals.
It's really a shame to say, when all the battlefields in the world are counterattacking, the scraping army is a large-scale rout, although the later history textbooks save face for the scraping army, saying that although the losses are heavy, it still fails to completely let the devil achieve his goal. But in fact, we have to know what is going on, the Spring and Autumn penmanship cannot be covered for a lifetime, and if you lose, you lose. I don't admit it, but I can't fool foreigners.
Looking at the attitude of the United States towards China after 1944, there was a big turning point, and the reason why China suffered losses on a series of issues related to international interests was that people thought that you were not good and that you were not worth taking that gain.
For Li Xiaofeng, no matter what mess in Huaxia, it is okay to let Lao Jiang and the scraping army be embarrassed, anyway, he is not the supporter behind Lao Jiang. But what made him entangled was that Lao Jiang lost not his own people, but the entire people of China, which affected the overall national interests of China, and he really couldn't sit idly by and ignore this issue.
Therefore, since the beginning of 1944, even if the pressure on the German battlefield is great, Li Xiaofeng still tries his best to allocate material support to the **** and better arm the ****, in order to cope with this hurdle in 1944.
The scraping army can't be counted on, Lao Jiang and his henchmen are bent on waiting for victory to fight the civil war, even if Chongqing is lost, he is afraid that it will be a big deal to run to Chengdu, and if Chengdu is still lost, he will go to Xi'an. I really won't make a little effort, and what I can count on is the **** side.
After more than two years of development, the **** armament has made great progress, and the infantry division (the Soviet Union is not satisfied with the standard of light infantry divisions) can make up nearly 60, although these regular troops have no advantage in the face of the Japanese army in terms of weapons and equipment, but they are not one-sided and have the upper hand.
Of course, having good weapons and equipment is one thing, and whether you are willing to fight is another thing, after all, the scraping army over there is ill-intentioned******** and waiting to fight the civil war, if the **** consumes too much strength. The future may not be good. It can also be rotten.
But what made the Soviet ****** happy. There is no point in settling it out there, on the contrary, they are gearing up and actively preparing for a fight, and it is better to have a big fight!
Trotsky said: "Only our own comrades can be relied upon!" ”
The good attitude of the **** also gave birth to the idea of going to Yan'an to talk with the **** high-level again, and he became more and more aware that the role of **** in the future is irreplaceable, and he believes that the future revolution in China will make great achievements.
He couldn't help but think about it, if **** could win the victory of the Chinese Revolution. Then the USSR will have a powerful little brother in the Far East, and when the CPSU and **** go hand in hand, it will inevitably be able to set off a revolutionary upsurge again. And this revolutionary upsurge will be much more violent and powerful than the one he has already experienced after the First World War, not to mention the complete destruction of the imperialist international order, and it will certainly open a transparent door to this gloomy world.
Trotsky could not help but think about the enormous energy that a country with a land area sufficient to rank among the top three in the world and the largest population in the world could unleash after accepting communism. If the Soviet Union and China can go hand in hand, one is committed to the West and the other is committed to the East, there is a lot to be done to learn from each other's strengths!
Trotsky was so excited that he could not sleep, and he was desperate to meet Taizu. Because when he met with Zhou Gong before, he could feel that the comrades in Huaxia not only had a high theoretical level. The ability to deal with practical problems is also commendable. Even many of Zhou Gong's suggestions inspired him. Sometimes he couldn't believe why the poor and weak Huaxia could give birth to such an outstanding talent.
Compared with Zhou Gong and other heroes, the second generation of the Soviet Union is much inferior, if Li Xiaofeng and Sverdlov are counted as the first generation, then there are no two who can be really responsible for the future.
When he thought about this question, Trotsky was sometimes so sad that he could not sleep, the revolution had won the victory with great difficulty, and it was with great difficulty that the present good situation had been obtained, but what should be done because the comrades of the younger generations could not keep up with it and did not give it all their strength?
Therefore, he was eager to exchange experiences with the comrades in China and see how the comrades in China had cultivated so many outstanding and good comrades. However, what made Trotsky feel depressed was that ****** always disagreed with his visit to Yan'an, believing that in the present international situation, such a visit was still a little too sensitive.
Trotsky was genuinely disappointed in this, because his term of office was only one year old, and there was not much time left for him, so what was the point of stepping down if he did not have in-depth exchanges with the comrades in China before leaving office?
In desperation, Trotsky could only retreat, and he wrote a letter to Taizu and the **** Central Committee, in addition to praising the great achievements of Comrade Huaxia, he also issued an invitation in a letter to Taizu, hoping that Taizu would lead an exchange delegation to the Soviet Union for an unofficial visit.
This shows how urgent Trotsky's mood was. And his letter was personally handed over to Taizu by Li Xiaofeng, in order to prepare for the battle to open up the mainland communication line that the devil was about to launch, Li Xiaofeng needed to coordinate in person.
What kind of coordination work is being done? According to Ubolevich's assumption, when the devils launched a campaign, the Turkish Republic and the Soviet Red Army temporarily stood still, and when they fought all the way to the scraping army and developed in depth, the Turkish Republic and the Soviet Red Army broke out again. At that time, the **** will launch large-scale offensive operations in North China and Shandong, and the Soviet Union will officially declare war on Japan and contain the main forces of the Kwantung Army in the northeast. Strive to liberate North China and Shandong in one fell swoop, cut off the connection between the Chinese garrison army and the Kwantung Army, and create conditions for the liberation of the three eastern provinces and Inner Mongolia in the future.
Of course, all this is highly secretive, and only a very small number of people know about the relevant plans. Even in order to paralyze the devils, the Soviet side carried out a large number of strategic deception measures, such as disguised transfer of troops from the Red Front Army in the Far East, such as deliberately highlighting the contradictions between the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States in front of the Japanese ambassador, and deliberately contacting Japan in the hope that it would act as an intermediary to contact Germany. All in all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Soviet Union's recent declaration of war on Japan was simply a super joke and impossible.
It should be said that the effect of strategic deception is still good, at least the Japanese were fooled. But what is irritating is that MI6 has been dismantling the stage, and at the behest of Learwin, the gang of Sun Tzu deliberately leaked to the Japanese spies the internal agreement on the part of the Allies (the Soviet Union declared war on Japan). It was made clear that he did not want to make it easy for the Soviet Union.
"Do you want to warn the British. They're making a lot of noise! Yakov indignantly proposed.
In this regard, Li Xiaofeng smiled contemptuously. Rhetorical question: "What's the use of warnings?" ”
"At least let the British know that we know their little moves......"
"What's the use of that?" Li Xiaofeng patted Yakov on the shoulder: "On this kind of issue, warnings do more harm than good. ”
Why did Li Xiaofeng say that? Because he thinks that for a super scoundrel like Britain, it is useless to warn the eggs, either you will directly retaliate against the past, or simply keep silent and warn it. Expressing your anger and helplessness? This will only make the British realize that you have nothing to do with him, but it will only fuel its arrogance.
Therefore, Li Xiaofeng believes that in the face of this kind of thing that cannot be put on the table. Don't warn at every turn, but look weak. As the so-called dog that bites doesn't bark, either rush up and bite directly, or don't be blind. Temporary forbearance is not a problem, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and he will have the opportunity to settle the general account for MI6 in the future.
To put it bluntly, Li Xiaofeng is not blindly a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, it is refreshing to do this for a while, but what about the future? Can you really turn your face with the British and Americans now? I'm afraid not. What's more, there is no such thing in this world as only taking advantage of the situation and not suffering losses. As the saying goes, how can people not be knifed in the rivers and lakes. For Li Xiaofeng, some knives are aimed at the vital point, and he can't be stupid and wait to be stabbed. You have to put on a posture and tell the guy who stabbed the knife: "Even if you can stab Lao Tzu." Lao Tzu can also put a basin of blood for you! If you're not afraid of death, come on! "But some knives only hurt a little flesh and skin, and they really can't make a big fuss about breaking the net.
How much advantage Learvin and MI6 can take advantage of doing this is nothing more than disgusting. This is why they still have the strength of Britain and the United States to overpower the Soviet Union, but the Americans will always wear the same pants as the British? It's impossible, once there is a contradiction between Britain and the United States, you can see how Li Xiaofeng gave Niu Niu eye medicine!
Li Xiaofeng's side did not react, which really surprised Li Erwen, originally she thought that someone would really fight back regardless of the severity, but obviously she was wrong again. Li Xiaofeng chose to ignore her, which made her feel like she was punched in the air. It makes her quite unhappy!
"Do you want to continue to make a fuss about this?"
Learvin glared at the idiot who made the suggestion and spat out two words: "Idiot! ”
Yes, Learvin knows very well that her provocation is indispensable, the Americans have already expressed dissatisfaction on relevant issues before, and if it were not for the Soviet Union deliberately blackmailing the United States this time, Learvin would not dare to provoke on this issue again. Although the Americans did not like the extortion of the Soviet Union, they also did not like the nonsense of the British. So she must master a good degree and must not exceed the range, otherwise in the end, she will not catch the fox but will cause a commotion.
Li Erwen's previous idea was to provoke Li Xiaofeng and induce someone to retaliate wildly, so that she would make a fuss. But now, someone doesn't take the bait at all, you say she's depressed or not.
Of course, the most depressed are the Japanese, whether it is the Soviet Union or Britain from beginning to end, they do not exist in the corner of their eyes, and the devil has always played the role of a dragon. They are nothing more than bargaining chips in the battle between the two superpowers.
In fact, the devil didn't know the feud between Britain and the Soviet Union, the devil was very busy at this time, the Pacific theater was a mess, there was no way to clean it up, and the three countries of Britain, the United States and China in the Indochina Peninsula also made the imperial army quite uncomfortable. In particular, the expeditionary force of the scraping army, compared with the scraping army at home, these are simply two completely different troops. The devils are a little puzzled, why do the Chinese become awesome as soon as they go abroad, is it because they have eaten the American strong pill?
In fact, it is not wrong to say this, the expeditionary force of the Kuomintang has indeed eaten the powerful pill of the US imperialists, with the US Army and Air Force escorting them in the air, and the US GIs in charge of logistics, so they do not have to worry about not having enough food and clothing, and the superiors deducting military salaries and other bad things, plus a full set of American-style equipment, it is completely a shotgun for a gun. And the devil is not really iron-clad, in terms of the equipment level and logistics support ability of its army, it is really not good.
Let's put it this way, the devil has quite a headache, and its absolute defense circle is shrinking day by day, and there is no possibility of rebound at all. Moreover, as the US military approached its homeland step by step, strategic bombing inevitably befell them, and this devastating wanton and indiscriminate bombing made them really unable to withstand it.
But this is a group of gamblers who have lost red-eyed, and it is impossible to wake up without losing the last pair of pants. In order to strive for a decent result, on June 20, 1944, the devils brazenly launched a campaign to open up the mainland line of communication. More than a dozen group armies poured out of their nests, pouring out into Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi.
At the beginning, the little devils progressed as smoothly as in history, and under the leadership of Tang Ran and a "flying general", the scraping army was thousands of miles away, and they ran faster than rabbits. For a time, the Chinese battlefield showed signs of collapse.
This made American advisers, including Stilwell, both stunned and angry, and the veteran insisted on command of the Chinese battlefield, which detonated the contradiction between him and Chiang...... (To be continued.) )
