Chapter 771: The Japanese who are extremely excited
The battle in the Guhugilt Mountains of Waiméng, in which the Soviet Far East Special Army was completely annihilated, had a huge shock to the Soviet leadership, and Stalin convened a meeting of the Political Bureau overnight to discuss countermeasures to deal with this sudden incident.
Stalin did not set the tone, the meeting could not get into the main topic, countless questions and judgments swirled in Stalin's mind, this China's newly rising military and political strongman, as soon as he made a move, he gave the Soviet Union a dismount, Tang Qiuli was in this posture, forced into Stalin's heart, whether he accepted it or not, this young general who is currently the most powerful in China, brought endless troubles to Stalin.
According to the psychological analysis of politicians or politicians, behind this Tang Qiuli, there must be some kind of force with strong and tyrannical power secretly supporting, otherwise, Tang Qiuli would not dare to make a move against the Soviet Union's sphere of influence, the United States and Britain are the biggest possibility, the Japanese are simply excluded by Stalin, Britain and the United States in the Far East, there is a plot to launch China's newly rising warlord Tang Qiuli, and the Soviet Union is calling for a fight, and the foreign méng ancient is just a beginning.
Stalin took everything into account, but he didn't take into account that the Wai Méng has been the territory of China since ancient times, and if the Soviets had not been behind their backs, they did not hesitate to split the territory of a sovereign state for their own interests, and there would have been no Choppers' and others to make for independence, and it would have caused de facto independence.
Since the time of the tsars, the Russians have a pathological greed for the territory, the tsarist era, the Russian national emblem is a double-headed eagle with the earth on its feet, looking at Europe on one side, looking at Asia on the other, and waiting until the victory in Russia, the national emblem was replaced by a sickle and a hammer, but the double-headed eagle was deeply hidden in Stalin's heart, and the unreasonable claims to the Finnish territory and the coveting of the Chinese territory in Asia all stem from the inherent mentality.
To tell the truth, Stalin didn't have much interest in the foreign méng ancient country that was either a steppe or the Gobi, a vast and sparsely populated area, and there were not many resources, just because it was a favorable strategic position for China, a big country in the south, it was as simple as that, if the Soviet Union poured its strength into the country, Tang Qiuli would definitely not be an opponent, but the focus of the Soviet Union's defense was in Europe, and Hitler's coveting of the territory of the Soviet Union was no less than his own desire for the territory of other countries, and the Japanese on the northeast border, which was a wolf who did not know the importance and was arrogant, Coveted for a long time in the Soviet Far East.
In the final analysis, the Soviet Union could not lose the foreign méng, and the Soviet Union could not devote its national strength to deal with Tang Qiuli, Stalin already had a basic line of thought, and he looked up and asked Yegorov, chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army: "Comrade Yegorov, the General Directorate of Military Intelligence, how much information does the Chinese general Tang Qiuli have?" Yegorov shook his head and replied dryly: "Comrade Stalin, very little, almost blank, Tang Qiuli has just walked into our sight. ”
Stalin shook his head and said as if to himself: "The head of the General Directorate of Military Intelligence is very incompetent," in a word, the director of the General Intelligence Directorate is the end of losing his official position, and he is already very lucky not to be exiled to the Arctic Circle, the leader spoke, and the members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union are united in their voice, and there is a shouting and beating, the dignity of the Soviet Union does not allow for challenges, and the interests of the Red Soviet must be defended.
The meeting did not take much time, but it formed a resolution to immediately organize troops and carry out a large-scale fierce counterattack against the squadrons that invaded foreign countries, giving a bitter lesson to the Chinese who were not able to measure themselves, and also cutting off their ambition to recover foreign countries.
When the tone of the dispatch was set, the choice of the commander of the troops aroused controversy among the members of the Political Bureau, and Stalin did not speak, but asked Defense Minister Malenkov: "Comrade Malenkov, based on your understanding of the Far Eastern Military District, who is in the leadership of the Military District who is qualified for this post?" Malenkov pondered for a moment and replied: "Comrade Stalin, Comrade Zhukov, who is now the deputy chief of staff of the military district, is very suitable for the post of commander of this unit. ”
Stalin obviously trusted Malenkov very much, nodded and said: "Well, on the basis of the Far Eastern Special Army, expand this force into the First Army of the Far East, and mention Comrade Yì Zhukov as the commander of the group army, and be responsible for operations in the ancient region of Méng, no one will object, right?" ”
The boss spoke, and the opposition was to find his own death, a show of hands, Stalin's mention of the unanimous understanding of Guò, the opportunity of history, Zhukov, who had won the title of Hero of the Soviet Union three times, dedicated to the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War and the victory of the Soviet-German War, finally came to the fore and began his brilliant and legendary military career, and there were only three people in the whole Soviet Union who won the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
Assuming that there was no Tang Qiuli launched the Battle of Wai Méng, it may not be known whether Zhukov would still be buried in the Far Eastern Military District and be a competent staff member, and Zhukov's later appearance in the Battle of Wai Méng Gu can be called one of Tang Qiuli's opponents, although he did not keep Wai Méng Gu in the end, this piece of Chinese land that Stalin held on to to the death, but because of his outstanding military talent, he still won Stalin's high trust, and was repeatedly promoted to the post of Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Red Army. Walk into the circle of the core leadership of the USSR.
"That shameful deserter Mikovsky, let it be tried by a military tribunal, in the Red Soviet army, no such scum is allowed to exist, he is a disgrace to the Red Army," Stalin still said to Defense Minister Malenkov, Malenkov nodded, he already knew what to do with the former commander of the special army in the Far East, that is, to shoot in public, the Supreme Commander said, even if Mikovsky was the son of Jesus, there was no reason to live.
In Stalin's words, this Mikovsky, who climbed to a high position by informing and faithfully carrying out the policy of suppression, and whose hands were stained with the blood of his comrades, was already doomed, and perhaps he would never have thought that there would be such an end, from the moment he abandoned the army and fled for his life, it was already doomed that no army, whether it was a red sè or any other Yan sè, would not tolerate desertion, he was a vested interest in this system, a martyr, and an outcast.
Late at night, Japan, Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito's palace, in the face of the ministers of civil and military affairs who were summoned in the middle of the night, for many days in a row, the face of Emperor Hirohito was so heavy that he could drip water, and his face was full of chūn wind for the first time, since receiving the monitoring report from the Army Intelligence Bureau, Emperor Hirohito has been in extreme excitement, and the depression and distress for many days have been swept away, and even the little dd, who has been resting for many days, has a stupid yù hope.
If it weren't for the convening of the Imperial Council, he would be eager to visit a few sāo charming concubines, and Hirohito, who was in a good mood, personally greeted the ministers who came to attend the meeting at the entrance of the main hall, which made the ministers who had been nervous in their hearts also like seeing the sunshine that had not been seen for a long time, and they were so relaxed that they wanted to float.
Emperor Hirohito not only had a chūn face full of chūn style, but also made an exception for the ministers who attended the meeting, prepared authentic Japanese snacks, as well as mellow sake, Hirohito picked up the wine glass, and his face was red with excitement, as if he had taken a hundred injections of jī blood, "Today, is the most comfortable and relaxed day in my heart, the information sent by the Army Intelligence Bureau is the best panacea for me, and you all know it, that the devil Tang Qiuli, in the ancient region of Méng, broke out a battle with the Soviets, and, The Soviets suffered a big loss, God bless me Great Japanese Empire Cheers"
The ministers present, except for Prince Zaihito Miyaji, chief of the general staff of the base camp, Koichi Yonechi, minister of war, and the minister of the army, the other ministers heard this shocking news for the first time, and after being surprised, they hurriedly stood up and drank all the sake in their hands.
For this devil who made the Japanese army and navy suffer a lot and hated it to the bone but was helpless, the Japanese military circles mentioned it, and they were somewhat frightened, and many generals in the army regarded being sent to China to fight against Tang Qiuli in North China as a daunting way and a lesson from the past, so many senior generals were cut off from their horses, and now, Tang Qiuli did not know the depths and provoked the Soviets, which was his own destruction.
For the Japanese, Tang Qiuli's military operations in the ancient region of Méng, whether successful or not, are absolutely beneficial to the Japanese Empire, if the war is defeated, the Soviets for the Japanese out of this bad breath, Tang Qiuli's military strength will also suffer heavy losses, and thus collapse, it may not be known, then, the Kwantung Army is facing a weak opponent, Manchuria, Liaoxi, and even North China, will also return to the hands of the empire, solve this biggest opponent, isn't it up to me?
If Tang Qiuli is defeated, he will be evil to the Soviets, unsolvable hatred, he added a powerful enemy out of thin air, and also made the Japanese army's fear of the Soviets a lot, the defeat of the Soviets in the Far East, gave the Japanese to restart the ambition of coveting the Soviets' Far East territory, since the inferior China people can defeat the Soviets, the excellent Yamato nation, can also defeat the Soviets, this is the simplest conversion problem in the hearts of the Japanese.
Therefore, the Japanese hoped that Tang Qiu would leave the Outer Méng Ancient Region and fight with the Soviets as much as possible, and it would be better for him to be trapped in the Outer Méng Ancient Region and not be able to pull out the tuǐ, and he would be forced to constantly transfer troops from North China to the north, and it was best for him to annoy Stalin and use all his jīng forces against him, this was an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Great Japanese Empire, and Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese military and political circles would not let go of this historical opportunity.
Drinking mellow sake and eating the dishes cooked by the imperial chef of the palace, since the full-scale war against China, Emperor Hirohito and high-ranking Japanese military and political officials have never discussed military aircraft in such a relaxed atmosphere.
