I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 391

The current history is very different from the previous history. The "butterfly effect" is not only becoming more and more obvious, but also becoming more and more complicated, changing the world in every way, including countries and big figures in various countries, including Hitler. Inside.

Germany in the early and middle period of World War II gave the impression of "invincible and fearless" to the later generations, but this is not the case in fact, because Germany in the early and middle period of World War II, especially in the early period, was actually "hard-hearted". Although Hitler seemed to "want to fight Hit whoever you want." In fact, he was also "very guilty" in his heart. Many of Germany's and Hitler's major victories in the early days of World War II all involved gambling. The risks were high and they were won by luck.

For example, before World War II, the German army marched into the Rhineland area. Hitler himself admitted later, "This is a huge gamble. I was restless and restless in the Chancellery all night. Although I have already judged that Britain and France will not take substantive opposition." Action, but after all, there is no one hundred percent thing. If Britain and France send troops to stop them, even if only one battalion is sent out, the German troops who entered the Rhine area will have to retreat back to Germany in embarrassment. I am also finished, and my political life is over. It was just a verbal protest, which allowed Hitler to win a big victory. However, while Hitler was triumphantly celebrating the victory, he was also covered in cold sweat.

In the early days of World War II, the German army blitzed Poland. This was another huge gamble for Hitler. The elite of the German army were all on the Polish battlefield. Advantage, the main force of the German army is on the Polish battlefield. If the British and French allied forces attack decisively, the German army will never win a brilliant victory in blitzing Poland.

But the fact is that during the entire Polish period, on the Western Front, the German army and the British and French allied forces had a "friendly relationship" and almost never fired a single shot. This was called a "sit-down war" by the historians. conquer.

After the war, a large number of senior German generals were sent to the Nuremberg Tribunal. They agreed that "during the Polish campaign, Britain and France did not attack Germany on the western front, which was a golden opportunity missed." The Western Front attacks us, and our troops on the Western Front are no match for the Anglo-French forces."

In the original history, the reason why Hitler became more and more arrogant was that on the one hand, he despised Western countries more and more;

Based on these, it is not difficult to infer Hitler's mentality at this time.

Germany's first battle at this time is to attack the Soviet Union in an all-round way. The Soviet Union is definitely not comparable to Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries, not even France. Germany's first battle is against a behemoth. "It is conceivable, so he cannot accept China's "betrayal" of Germany at this time.

In the East, if China is strong and Japan is weak (mainly referring to the army and air force), there is no guarantee that China will not change its mind and attack Japan. After all, there is a bloody hatred between China and Japan. There is only one situation where China and Japan can truly "coexist in peace", that is, China and Japan are evenly matched in strength, and China knows that it will be difficult to defeat Japan, and even if it defeats Japan, it will hurt its vitality. Japan is the same, naturally, China and Japan will be jealous of each other and will not play each other's ideas, so they will put away their "small thoughts" and follow Germany to fight the Soviet Union.

Originally, Hitler cooperated with Jiang Weiguo to force the Japanese Army to disarm. Although it violated this principle, he did so because he believed that Jiang Weiguo would not "betray" him. However, the situation is different now. China and the Soviet Union "colluded secretly", and the Soviet Union provided huge benefits to feed China, in exchange for China not to fight the Soviet Union but to fight Japan. In this way, Germany is the biggest loser.

Neither Hitler nor Germany could afford to lose the war against the Soviet Union, so they had to guard against it, so they acquiesced to the Japanese army's military expansion, which could indirectly put pressure on China and force China to lose its "small thinking."

After thinking about this, Jiang Weiguo smiled wryly: "There are really intrigues and intrigues between countries!"

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Weiguo looked at Yui Iimura, his tone and expression became serious and sincere: "General Iimura, your move is indeed reasonable, but I believe that there must be a relationship between you and me. What a misunderstanding.

Please also give us some time, I believe that both of you and I can clear up the misunderstanding!"

Iimura looked at Jiang Weiguo, seemed to be thinking, and then nodded: "Okay!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo with a meaningful look, "According to the internal treaty of the Allied Powers, three months after Germany entered the war against the Soviet Union Inside, China is also involved in the war.

Germany entered the war on May [-]st, and now it is July [-]th. Your country should enter the war against the Soviet Union before August [-]st, so the time will be on that day.

If we have not received a satisfactory answer on August [-], we can only act in a direction that is beneficial to us with great regret!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded, he understood: "I understand!"

Iimura Yu got up and said goodbye to Jiang Weiguo.

After Iimura left, Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette and smoked it dully. He felt that the matter was getting more and more complicated.

There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Yao pushed the door in. He glanced at Jiang Weiguo: "Have the Japanese come to issue an ultimatum?"

Jiang Weiguo nodded with a wry smile: "Well, my military adviser, I see this matter..."

"Let's talk about the Northwest first!" Xiao Yao put a stack of documents in front of Jiang Weiguo, "Shu Guosheng, the director of the Maritime Bureau, just sent it. Feng Yuxiang's movements in the Northwest are indeed getting bigger and bigger!"

"Oh?" Jiang Weiguo immediately flipped through the documents.

"This 'Rebel General' is really unwilling to be lonely!" Xiao Yao's tone was full of sarcasm, "After he became the commander-in-chief of the Second Military Region, he is indeed actively expanding his strength and influence.

The Second Military Region has jurisdiction over the four provinces of Suiyuan, Gansu, Ningxia, and Xinjiang. In the four provinces, Suiyuan is close to our core area of ​​North China, and Xinjiang is an important border area. We station elite troops there, so he dare not They launched secret activities in Suiyuan and Xinjiang provinces, so they plan to take root in Gansu and Ningxia provinces, and also infiltrate Qinghai!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo, "After these provinces in the Northwest were taken down by us and the principal, the situation is very serious. The turmoil, mixed dragons and snakes, backward conditions, and economic depression, neither we nor the principal are very interested in it. We are managing North China and Northeast China, and the principal is managing the South and Northwest. Naturally, people who are interested can take advantage of it!"

"Does Feng Yuxiang have any detailed actions?" Jiang Weiguo flipped through the documents.

"What other detailed actions can there be?" Xiao Yao sneered, "It's nothing more than that, win over the old department, buy ordnance, form an army, and try to make a comeback.

During this period of time, Feng Yuxiang secretly sent people to contact Sun Liangcheng, Zhao Xipin, Liu Ruming, Liu Yufen, Sun Lianzhong, Guo Zhigang, Guo Zhihan, Lu Zhonglin, Wen Chenglie, Cheng Xixian, Ge Jinzhang, Deng Changyao and other former subordinates to lobby They came to the Northwest to return to the banner to 'discuss major issues together'.

In addition, Feng Yuxiang also actively recruited the remnants of the original Ma Jiajun, especially the former generals of Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing. They hated the principal for taking their lair, so they all held a grudge against the principal and wanted revenge.

Deputy (Jiang Weiguo is now the deputy commander of the 77th Division), you also know that although the Ma family army is a warlord, it is very different from other domestic warlords. The Ma family army has strong ethnic and religious factors. They are essentially ethnic minorities and It is a separatist force formed by ethnic minorities with unique beliefs, so it is very rigid, and the Qinghai Majiajun is even more rigid than the Ningxia Majiajun.

The Ma family army has been operating the Northwest since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and its influence can be said to be deeply rooted. The total number of regular and irregular troops in Qingma accounts for one-seventh of the total population of Qinghai Province. The whole province is almost a large barracks. The network of various relationships such as tribes, tribes, nations, blood ties, and relatives makes it difficult to eradicate this force.

The "Qinghai-Tibet War" launched by the principal only basically destroyed the main force of the Qinghai Majia Army, but there are still tens of thousands of remnants in Qinghai Province that are stubbornly surviving like gangrene. Rebirth' momentum.

Feng Yuxiang is taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of the opportunity!"

"Are these people willing?"

"Five out of ten people are willing, two are unwilling, and three are hesitant!"

"It seems that Feng Yuxiang's appeal is still very strong!"

"Not exactly!" Xiao Yao analyzed, "First of all, these people are indeed Feng Yuxiang's old subordinates, either the 'Thirteen Taibao' of the Northwest Army, or the 'Top Ten Civil Officials', all of whom are key figures. , I still have feelings for Feng Yuxiang. The most important thing is that after the Sino-Japanese peace talks and the Sino-Japanese alliance, our country’s external major problems are finally gone. The principal can naturally tidy up the internal affairs calmly and calmly. For rectification, in order to completely realize the unification of military orders and government orders, those people with "bad backgrounds" must be cleared out of the "New National Army". In this way, the entire national army will be the Central Army.

Obviously, this group of people who were with Feng Yuxiang at the beginning will definitely be eliminated in the national army rectification. Even if they have made meritorious service during the war, they can only get a pension to retire or sit on the bench in the national army. It is impossible to gain real power anymore.

Naturally, eight out of ten high-level members of the Northwest Army are now "unemployed". After accepting the central government, one after another was moved.

Oh, that's right!" Xiao Yao added, "The senior generals of the former Northwest Army who are already in our Nanjing Army have also received secret letters from Feng Yuxiang, such as Feng Zhi'an, such as Zhang Zizhong!"

Jiang Weiguo's heart skipped a beat: "Are they tempted?"

Xiao Yao said with a smile: "If they are tempted, how do we know about it?"

Jiang Weiguo nodded and closed the information: "It seems that we can't just sit idly by!" He thought for a while and asked Xiao Yao, "By the way, what do you think about this dispute between China and Japan?"

Xiao Yao thought about it for 5 minutes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Excluding the ruled out circumstances, I think the Soviets are playing the trick of 'two peaches kill three soldiers'!"

Chapter 465 Intrigue (4)

It is well known that the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear.

In the current situation of time and space, Jiang Weiguo is not only the "authority", because he personally participated in the vicissitudes of this era, but he is also a "bystander". Needless to say, this makes him have a uniqueness that his contemporaries can hardly match. One of the manifestations of "the advantage of insight into opportunities" is that many conspiracies and tricks that can deceive his contemporaries will be directly seen through by him in front of him.

After being reminded by Xiao Yao, Jiang Weiguo, who already thought this was very strange, suddenly became enlightened: Yes!Who is the biggest beneficiary of mutual suspicion between China and Japan?It's not the Soviet Union!The Soviets spent so much money, the fundamental purpose was actually ready to be revealed, and they were kept in the dark. How could it be like many scams in later generations? Believe it or not.

In the final analysis, the liar does what he likes, and the deceived is greedy for profit. As a result, he is deceived by the liar in a state of self-hypnosis.

After realizing this, Jiang Weiguo suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing at himself secretly: "Damn! The tricks played by the old man are not very clever. I was led by the nose by them, really bad!"

After confirming that this was a ghost trick of the Soviets, Jiang Weiguo suddenly became enlightened, and then formulated countermeasures.

"As long as we officially start war against the Soviet Union, the Japanese and Germans' suspicions about us will disappear!" Xiao Yao analyzed, "The most important thing is to solve the Northwest issue!"

"Those Soviet ships..." Jiang Weiguo hesitated, "We need them very much, especially those submarines, how good they can be used to deal with the Japanese in the future..." He was very heartbroken and reluctant to let go.

"It's nothing!" Xiao Yao looked at it very openly, "There are more than 50 submarines, not many, and our final decisive battle with the Japanese is estimated to be two or three years or even four or five years later, so we don't need them urgently right now. This batch of submarines is really short of submarines, so you can borrow them from the Germans! Don’t forget, what Hitler meant at the beginning was that Germany, China and Japan would jointly defeat the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and France, and when there were only three major powers left in the world: Germany, China and Japan At that time, Germany and China jointly killed Japan. At that time, if hundreds of German submarines did not go to the east to participate in the war, would they still stay in the Atlantic doing nothing? We are not in a hurry for submarines.

What are the Japanese worried about?The worry is that we will do something to them next, so we urgently need these Soviet submarines. Putting these Soviet submarines in their hands temporarily will give them peace of mind.

The Japanese are worried that we will attack them immediately, but in fact, we will not attack them immediately. This kind of suspicion can be eliminated.

Of course, we can also take the opportunity to beat the Japanese!"

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "Military division, you are still right, I am indeed a little greedy, and I am a little too hasty!"

"In addition..." Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes, "I found a detail in this matter, that is the number of submarines in the Soviet Pacific Fleet.

The Japanese said that the Soviet Army had 73 submarines, but as far as we know, the Soviet Army only had 53 submarines. What is the difference in the number of 20 submarines? "

"Well, I found out too, it feels weird!"

"It's not weird, it's the Soviets who are sowing discord.

This detail just proves that the Soviets are playing tricks to kill three men with two peaches.

How did the Japanese know about this?It should be that there were Soviet spies among the Japanese who leaked the rumors, "sell us" and "mislead the Japanese" at the same time, thus strengthening the mutual suspicion between us and the Japanese.

The purpose of the Soviet spy is to make the Japanese mistakenly think that we will get 73 Soviet submarines at once, which will make the Japanese even more fearful. We insist that there are only 53 submarines, and the Japanese will suspect that we have detained 20 or more submarines in private. What kind of secret agreement did the Soviets have with us, which further strengthened the suspicion between China and Japan!"

"Yes! Yes! This is a very reasonable explanation!" Jiang Weiguo nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Yao paced in the office, lost in thought, Jiang Weiguo felt that he looked like Sherlock Holmes analyzing and speculating.

"The Soviets want the Japanese to suspect us, and at the same time, the Soviets must want us to suspect the Japanese. In this way, the suspicion between China and Japan will intensify!" Xiao Yao frowned, "These Soviet troops Ships are just a tool of the Soviets, and the Soviets will make full use of this tool, and the Soviets certainly don't really want us or the Japanese to get these ships.

Then..." He turned his head abruptly, looking at Jiang Weiguo with piercing eyes.

Jiang Weiguo spread his hands: "Then what?" He couldn't keep up with Xiao Yao's train of thought.

Xiao Yao was a little helpless: "Didn't I say that? The Soviets will make full use of these ships to create suspicion between us and the Japanese, and at the same time they will not really want us or the Japanese to get these ships!"

"So?" Jiang Weiguo stared.

Xiao Yao was helpless: "So, these ships will definitely find an excuse to go to Japan first, and then sail from Japan to China. On the way, they will either be 'detained' by the Japanese or have an 'accident', which will make us hate the Japanese and not Further suspicion!"

"Ah?" Jiang Weiguo suddenly realized, "I understand what you mean!"

"If our speculation is correct, we can tell the Japanese about our speculation now. As long as the Soviets really follow our speculation, our 'suspect' can be cleared!" Xiao Yao looked very confident.

In late July, the Nanjing Army finally began to mobilize on a large scale.

The 17th Division and the 123rd Division stationed in Xinjiang left Xinjiang and headed west all the way to receive the outer Xinjiang that the Soviet Union was willing to return to China according to the Sino-Soviet negotiations. The 111th Division stationed in Ningxia left Ningxia and drove to Xinjiang , to replace the 17th Division and the 123rd Division, and stationed in Xinjiang; at the same time, the 20th Division, 37th Division, 38th Division, and 39th Division in North China moved to the northwest to start a war to quell the "Northwest Rebellion".

Anyone who is interested will find that, except for the 17th Division, the other six divisions mobilized by the Nanjing Army are not the main force of the Nanjing Army. In the winter counterattack and the Far East War, they only undertake the tasks of rear defense and front-line assistance. The Division, 6th Division, 77th Division, and 88th Division are still in the provinces close to the Japanese-occupied areas.

This mobilization of the Nanjing Army is undoubtedly intriguing, causing speculation on all sides.

The so-called "Northwest Rebellion" was a new armed rebellion led by Feng Yuxiang, formed by the former Northwest Army and the remnants of the original Majia Army, trying to separate the regime.

After Feng Yuxiang took office as the commander-in-chief of the Second Military Region, he was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to make a comeback. He actively and secretly contacted the old department, recruited troops secretly, and formed an army.

In fact, Feng Yuxiang seems to have taken advantage of the right time, place, and people to do this. The situation in the northwest region is currently turbulent and unstable. The original Ma family army has just been cleared, but there are still a large number of remnants. Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Weiguo have no time to take care of the northwest. The Northwest fell into a power vacuum, more than that, probably intending to use Feng Yuxiang's remaining prestige to control the Northwest. Chiang Kai-shek approved the designations of four divisions to Feng Yuxiang, which gave him a legitimate reason to expand the army.

It can be said that Feng Yuxiang went smoothly. Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Weiguo were temporarily out of reach or had no interest in the Northwest, and he also got the support of some "domestic and foreign forces". ", including the regrouped former Northwest Army, and the remnants of the original Majia Army who heard the wind and surrendered, as well as a large number of recruits recruited on the spot, a large number and "quite sophisticated" weapons and equipment.

However, in late July, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly sent a telegram to Feng Yuxiang, requesting his troops to "immediately go to the two lakes to garrison".

In this regard, Feng Yuxiang was caught off guard. He believed that Chiang Kai-shek underestimated his influence and appeal. He did not expect that he could gather tens of thousands of people in just one month. So hastily started to mend the situation, trying to kill his own power.

At this time, Feng Yuxiang had only two options. One was to obey Chiang Kai-shek's order honestly and let Chiang Kai-shek transfer himself and the troops he finally reorganized to Hunan and Hubei. However, Hunan and Hubei are both Chiang Kai-shek's territories. Entering Chiang Kai-shek's territory is bound to "throw yourself into a trap, never return", and be dismembered, disintegrated, annexed or even eliminated by Chiang Kai-shek quietly.

It is said that after Feng Yuxiang received Chiang Kai-shek's order, he stayed up all night and thought about it all night.

Feng Yuxiang and Chiang Kai-shek were "worshiping brothers". Chiang Kai-shek called Feng Yuxiang "big brother" or "alliance brother", but the real relationship between the two was definitely not a real brother, but an opponent. Feng Yuxiang lost to Chiang Kai-shek twice, one after the Northern Expedition In Jiang Feng's war, the second was the Central Plains War, and the Northwest Army lost completely. Right now, he finally got his third comeback, and he really doesn't want to give up the opportunity.

It is difficult for Feng Yuxiang to surrender without firing a single shot. What's more, he is unwilling to be "raised" by Chiang Kai-shek like a bird in a cage. Therefore, after thinking about it all night, "various reasons" prompted Feng Yuxiang to make a desperate, The final decision to give it a go.

On July 7, Feng Yuxiang rejected Chiang Kai-shek's transfer order in Lanzhou. Immediately, Hu Zongnan in Shaanxi aggressively attacked Gansu, which had been controlled by Feng Yuxiang. The two divisions were defeated, throwing away their helmets and armor, in a panic, and the Northwest Army seized countless supplies.

After hearing the news, Chiang Kai-shek was furious, and severely reprimanded Hu Zongnan, pointing out with heartache, "After the peace talks, the national army has no danger of a major war. ", had to mobilize the Nanjing Army to participate in the counter-insurgency.

Jiang Weiguo then ordered the 20th Division, 37th Division, 38th Division, and 39th Division to go to the northwest to participate in the war.

Bo Yun was so treacherous that at this time, China's war pace was already imminent, and it was time to launch.
