Chapter 106: Talking Deeply
"General, I'm just a businessman, a businessman who wants to resist Japan, and I didn't dare to say anything about resisting Japan three months ago. What basis will the Japanese give me, thinking about it?
This time, I just want to show the new weapon to the general. I once recommended it to a general, but the Chinese army's understanding of tanks is relatively weak, and even if I give them, I guess they will not use them. ”
"Haha, if it's given, I'll use it!"
"Speaking of which, the gift is not a big deal for me, the only problem is that I will lose the ability to reproduce. If I could defeat the Japanese in a single battle, I would probably be like everyone else, and I would not have developed these things at all. ”
"It seems that Mr. Xiao Li is very rich!"
"The general laughed, how much money do I have in my hand? It's probably not a small witch in China. It's considered rich, and it is estimated that it is enough for our family to spend 100 years on wine. ”
"It's already a big witch, and Mr. Li is a very good person who makes money." Said with a smile.
"It's about the itch in my heart, in terms of making money, what I earned in three years is enough for my grandfather to earn for two lifetimes. I have now sent back to China more than 10 million dollars of equipment, supplies, firearms and ammunition from abroad, and there is no problem. ”
"So much?" The general blurted out in surprise, and his expression became solemn.
"This little thing prepared for the Anti-Japanese War is a drop in the bucket! The Japanese spend nearly $3 billion a year on their military, and the whole country is still cutting back on food and clothing! They can support $15 billion a year in military spending if something happens. ”
"Is the message correct?" The general asked.
"General, it's just some semi-public information in Japan, the Japanese basically open the door to China, and no one even cares about us in and out! General, it's just that those of us who go to Japan don't like to pay attention to this. ”
The general sighed and did not speak.
"General, I have compiled some books, which may be of some use to the war; When I say goodbye for a while, I will give the general a set for the general to laugh at! ”
"Oh, then bring it in first, and I'll take a look." The general ordered to take the book.
The general looked through the dozen or so booklets he had written, and it seemed that he had read "Mine Warfare", but the evacuator probably hadn't read it.
The general put down the book and said: "Mr. Xiao Li's determination to resist Japan can be expressed by the sun and the moon. Commendable publicity. ”
"Haha, general, don't do anything about propaganda, the Japanese have infiltrated China too much! The general said today that tomorrow it is estimated that the assassination of the Japanese will come to the door. Haha, tell the general a few anecdotal stories, and you'll know. ”
"Oh, the little story of the wind?" Mr. Li asked?
"Mr. Li, there is a story that goes like this, can you listen to it? It is said that the Japanese, as early as a few decades ago, chose some honest and loyal families in China with only children at the age of seven or eight. Those who were chosen by the Japanese, the only son would die or disappear unexpectedly, and when the husband and wife were grief-stricken, they happened to meet a wandering little beggar of six or seven years old; In addition to knowing that he has been wandering for a few years, he doesn't know anything else, honest and loyal couples often adopt, and his kindness is also to comfort himself. In the following days, the husband and wife supported the child to study and improve, and saw that the child was about to become an adult, but the life of the couple was really bad, and the adopted son died one after another before he had time to be filial. The adopted son has high ambitions, and he must study and progress when he sells his property, glorify his ancestors, and let his adoptive parents die and have glory. There are many who have really glorified their ancestors, some are already generals in the army, and some are at a very high level in the government. Is this little story interesting? "I controlled the tone and told a creepy story plainly.
"Mr. Xiao Li, is there a case?" The general asked.
"General, it's just a rumor, not really!"
"Wind news, interesting, is there anything else?"
"Again, the Japanese people's friendship with China can be said to come from the heart; In order to be able to better help China, the Japanese were called on to learn Chinese, and there are now two or three out of 100 people. There is no problem with language, and there are more places that can help China. For example, Japanese university professors and their students, regardless of their old age and infirmity, did not fear the mountains, deep forests, jackals, tigers and leopards, and came to China to help us explore mineral deposits and draw maps. How touching it is to be moved by the active support of the Chinese government and universities. The Japanese are so meticulous that the map doesn't even leak the well in the village; Probably for the convenience of the herb pickers in the mountains, the paths that the herb pickers walked out of were clearly marked. The Japanese really spared no effort to help us, are you impressed, General? ”
The general said with a gloomy face: "Is there anything else?" ”
"General, there can be no more. Over the years, there have often been people who have been killed because of rumors, maybe it is not uncommon to get rid of me as a traitor! ”
"Mr. Xiao Li refers to the indiscriminate killing of innocents by the Blue Coat Society?"
Mr. Li's words cost lives, how to take them? If you don't pick it up, you can't do it! Otherwise, there will be endless troubles, and the lesser of two evils will be compared. Thinking about it, it is also helpless, the position is different, and the angle of looking at the problem is naturally different.
"Mr. Li's words are too heavy. This kind of thing has never been broken off since ancient times, and it is not uncommon in any organization. Do you want me to tell you the story of your party's "Comrade Xia"? It is rumored that this person's level is so high, and the Blue Coat Society is the most impressive! ”
The general snorted: "It's all just hearsay, not really!" ”
"General, one or two new weapons are useless against the great cause of war. Now that we have the only bit of industrial base, including the arsenal, we are in the coastal and plain areas, so let's arrange the relocation as soon as possible. A businessman is ashamed and rude, and I hope the general will forgive me! We're going to say goodbye! ”
He stood up and saluted, and the general also stood up to see him off.
He said, "Welcome Mr. Woody, Mr. Li to visit Yan'an!" ”
I immediately translated for Woody, and Woody agreed without knowing it. Don't translate, the body language will be clear, forget it, don't care, without Woody's face, you can't see people.
The news from the United States is good, the first test flight of the aircraft was successful, although it is still far from being finalized, but it is a milestone in the progress node. After discussing with Woody, it was decided to ship all the aircraft engines in stock to Hong Kong; The actual significance is not very large, and what can play a big role should be the entrepot trade method, which is better than nothing.
I took a tourist-level map of Shanghai, took my bodyguard to see Kunshan first, and the first time I came to Kunshan, there was only a mountain like a dirt bag; In a plain area, it's also called right, it's a mountain, and there may be no more people who dig holes to arrange weapons, and look at the rented warehouses and sites. From Kunshan to Jiading, Baoshan City all the way to Wusongkou and Miaohang to see; I also took a special look at the famous Liu Xing, Luodian and Dachang, Fuzaobang; Then head south along the Huangpu River and into the city to see the Gongda Yarn Factory, the Japanese Garrison Headquarters, Hongqiao Airport, and Huishan Wharf.
Cross the Huangpu River, along the coast to Wangjiawan, Nanhui, Fengcheng, Tuolin, Jinshan.
It took me five days to look at it in a hurry, and the purpose was not to investigate the terrain or anything. The main thing is to help myself make some memories, although when I was in the military academy, China's military research still took Japan as an imaginary enemy, and the Battle of Songhu was an important example. It's been a long time, and there are really not many people who can remember it.
Fighting on such an alluvial plain, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, is really not a good choice from a military point of view. However, there is nothing wrong with the subordination of the military to politics and the subordination of military strategy to political strategy. Judging from the course of the subsequent war, the decision to battle Songhu was correct. It not only changed the main direction of the Japanese attack, but also provided valuable time for the retreat of factories in Shanghai and the Jiangnan area. The difference in military strength was also fully manifested in this battle, and a correct understanding of the Japanese army was basically achieved.
Under the circumstance that the Japanese warships had completely lost air supremacy with large-caliber artillery and completely lost air supremacy, they used light weapons against tanks and artillery to fight the war to this extent and level. Compared with the level of Yan Xishan in Shanxi, the commander of the battle is already worthy of being a famous general in the world!
Would you like to ask yourself if you can give some advice? That is to think too highly of oneself, not to understand the current situation of the Chinese army, and to have no actual understanding of the current level of the Japanese army, and the idea is basically nonsense, and it is even more sinful to interfere with the determination of the commander-in-chief.
