I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 442

I hope that the Japanese will keep their word and return the puppet Manchukuo, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Taiwan to us!"

"The first three are very likely, Taiwan is very difficult!" Ju Boqiang shrugged, "The Japanese have swallowed Taiwan for more than 40 years, and they have long regarded it as Japan's mainland, and the possibility of returning it is very small!"

Sun Zhiqiang said: "The destruction of the Soviet Union will greatly increase our national strength, and the Japanese will also be afraid of us. As long as we are tough and provide benefits, it is very possible for the Japanese to return Taiwan!"

Jiang Jingguo remembered a very important thing, he winked at Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Weiguo understood, and the two walked to the corner of the carriage.

"Weiguo, Commander-in-Chief Zhou of the Air Force told me something!" Jiang Jingguo looked at Jiang Weiguo with some confusion, "After the national army captured Omsk, it was only a few hundred kilometers away from the Ural Industrial Zone of the Soviet Union. In addition, the national army In Central Asia, we have also advanced to the east coast of the Caspian Sea, only a few hundred kilometers away from the Don River Industrial Zone in the Soviet Union. The German side hopes that we will launch a strategic bombing of it immediately and decides to assist us with a batch of Panda planes, but you have not yet landed. decided, why?"

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette: "Yes, the Ural Industrial Zone and the Don River Industrial Zone are already within the attack range of our military's strategic bombers. Continuous strategic bombing of the enemy's industrial zones will definitely speed up the victory of the war, but we ... feeling hesitant!"

"Hesitating? Why are you hesitating?" Jiang Jingguo was very surprised.

Jiang Weiguo smiled bitterly: "I am reluctant to explode!"

The industrial areas of the Soviet Union were "both concentrated and dispersed" before the Soviet war, in central North Asia, eastern North Asia, between the east of the Volga and the west of the Ural Mountains, the Don River Basin (with Stalingrad as the core), the Caucasus, and Ukraine As well as the Leningrad region, there are Soviet industrial areas and factory groups, such as the Stalingrad Tractor Factory, the Comintern Factory in Kharkov, and the Kirov Factory in Leningrad, all of which are very large industrial bases. However, considering that the eastern and western regions of the Soviet Union were under the threat of Germany, the Soviet authorities had already launched an industrial relocation campaign, similar to China’s industrial relocation to the west before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War. The Battle of Kiev was fought for several months, which also gave the Soviet authorities The precious time gained made the Kiev battle very similar to the Songhu battle in China. Although they were all defeated, at least they got precious time to transfer industrial facilities and personnel. Right now, there are two main industrial areas in the Soviet Union, One is located in the Don River Valley and the Caucasus (Stalingrad is the barrier of this industrial zone), and one is located on the east bank of the Volga River behind (east) Moscow, the western foot of the Ural Mountains and parts of the eastern foothills of the Ural Mountains.

With the continuous advancement of the Nanjing Army, most of the two industrial areas of the Soviet Union are already within the bombing range of the Chinese Air Force's strategic bombers.

It stands to reason that the Chinese Air Force should be dispatched, but Jiang Weiguo fell into indecisiveness. First, because winter is coming and the wind and snow are frequent, it is difficult to dispatch the planes. Second, Jiang Weiguo is reluctant to bomb.

Jiang Weiguo knew that China urgently needed the industrial facilities of the Soviet Union. China, a backward industrial country, wanted to quickly improve its industrial level. In addition to hard work and assistance from its allies, it also needed to rob industrial facilities from other countries. The Soviet Union was a powerful industrial country. It is undoubtedly the best target for China to snatch, just like the Soviet army looted Northeast China at the end of World War II in history.

If it is blown to pieces, what will China grab after defeating the Soviet Union?Although it is certain that not all of them will be blown up, how many Soviet machines are blown up now will be China's future losses.

"I think, anyway, the Soviet Union will be doomed next year. Even if it is still struggling, the Soviet Union will not last long!" Jiang Weiguo sighed, "Now that the big bombing is launched, we will get less in the future. We need those machines!"

Jiang Jingguo understood what Jiang Weiguo meant, and he sighed with empathy: "That's what I said, but if we don't bomb it, the Soviet arsenal can continue to produce aircraft, artillery, and tanks in a steady stream. We have to pay more for victory." Isn’t the price palliative? On the other hand, even if we defeat the Soviet Union, it will be very difficult to obtain those industrial facilities. Have you ever thought that if the Soviet authorities ordered the destruction of all industrial facilities at the last minute, even if we defeated the Soviet Union, what we would get would be It’s just a piece of scorched earth, it’s better to blow it up now and destroy the foundation of the Soviet Union’s war!”

Jiang Weiguo took a deep breath: "Brother, I have also thought of what you are thinking, so I am very embarrassed.

It's just that winter is coming, I'll find an excuse not to start the bombing, delay it for a while, and then think about whether there is any good way to solve this problem!"

Jiang Jingguo nodded: "Weiguo, it's really hard for you!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled bitterly again: "What can we do? Who made our country so poor and weak!"

On January [-], seven days before the Spring Festival, Jiang Weiguo and his party arrived in Wuhan.

Jiang Weiguo has always hated extravagance, waste and fanfare, so he only told Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling about his return to Wuhan. Jiang Song would definitely not come to the train station to pick up Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Jingguo in person. At most, he would send a few confidant representatives over. It was Jiang Weiguo's goal. He wanted to act in a low-key manner, but things backfired. When he arrived at Hanyang Railway Station, he was surprised to find that a large group of people were welcoming him, Jiang Jingguo and others at the train station.

Looking carefully, Jiang Weiguo saw clearly that there were basically no high-level officials of the state government among these people. Like Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Jingguo, they were all young people, about fifty or sixty, and the leader was a high-spirited and energetic young man. He looks similar to Jiang Weiguo, both 23 and [-] years old.

"Big Cousin, Second Cousin, you are back! I haven't seen you for a long time!" The leading young man was full of enthusiasm and smiling. After seeing Jiang Jingguo and Jiang Weiguo getting off the train, he immediately strode up and gave Jiang Weiguo a big hug. .

Jiang Weiguo reluctantly accepted the hug, saying: "Yes, yes..." At the same time, he hurriedly looked at the young man, thinking hard, thinking to himself, "Yes, yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, but, you Who the hell is it?" Fortunately, he was quick-witted and quickly recognized the other party.

"Ling Kan?" Jiang Weiguo widened his eyes.

"Yeah!" It was Kong Lingkan, Kong Xiangxi's eldest son and one of the "relatives of the emperor" who embraced Jiang Weiguo.

Kong Lingkan's face was full of spring breeze, as if he had been with Jiang Weiguo for many years and reunited with him, but he was so enthusiastic that Jiang Weiguo felt faintly uncomfortable.

Jiang Weiguo and Kong Lingkan are relatives. Jiang Weiguo's mother is Song Meiling, Kong Lingkan's mother is Song Ailing, Song Ailing is Song Meiling's eldest sister, the two are cousins, and they are the same age. Both were born in 1916. Jiang Weiguo is two months older than Kong Lingkan. It stands to reason that the two are both the same age and relatives, so they should be hardcore buddies, but the two are not friends, and they haven't had much contact with each other in the past few years.

Taking 1936 as the starting point, Jiang Weiguo was too busy fighting for the War of Resistance, and he was at a loss for resources. Kong Lingkan followed Kong Xiangxi in the bureaucratic structure of the National Government, and hung up a job title. Yes, Jiang Weiguo has no time to be friends with Kong Lingkan, and he has no interest in being friends with Kong Lingkan. He knows that Kong Lingkan is a typical, out-and-out dude, so he didn't win over Kong Lingkan at all when he formed the "princeling".

In the past few years, Jiang Weiguo was either busy fighting or preparing for war, running around and exhausted, so he didn't meet Kong Lingkan a few times.

Jiang Weiguo was very surprised how Kong Lingkan knew that he was going back to Wuhan and was waiting for him at the train station. He thought about it and immediately understood, probably his mother told his mother about this, so this kid is well-informed , I have been waiting at the train station for a long time.

"Second cousin, we have been waiting for you to come back!" "Second cousin, long time no see!" Several young men and women came up to surround Jiang Weiguo, chatting happily.

Jiang Weiguo barely recognized that besides Kong Lingkan, there were also Kong Lingkan's brother Kong Lingjie, Kong Lingkan's sister Kong Lingyi, and Kong Lingkan's sister Kong Lingwei. Except for the entourage, the remaining 50 people are also the children of various high-ranking officials and nobles of the National Government, as well as their friends and entourages, all of whom are the second generation of officials.

"Thank you for welcoming us..." Jiang Weiguo smiled perfunctorily. He looked at Jiang Jingguo, his heart moved slightly, because the welcoming crowd surrounded him like stars holding the moon, and Jiang Jingguo was left out of the crowd. Kind of ugly.

Jiang Weiguo quickly pushed Kong Lingkan and others away, and walked to Jiang Jingguo: "Thank you for welcoming me, my father and mother are waiting for me and my eldest brother, we have to go back!"

"Second cousin, it just happens to be on the way!" Kong Lingkan held Jiang Weiguo with a smile on his face, "Just take my car! I want to visit my uncle (Chiang Kai-shek) too!"

Jiang Weiguo couldn't resist Kong Lingkan's enthusiasm, and looked at Jiang Jingguo: "Brother, let's take Lingkan's car!"

Jiang Jingguo smiled: "Okay!"

Kong Lingkan smiled and pointed to the second car: "Big cousin, I can't fit in my car anymore, you can take Lingjie's car!"

Jiang Jingguo looked at it and nodded with a smile: "Alright!"

A group of high-ranking children got into the car one after another. Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Jingguo, Yu Wangde and others temporarily separated and went back to their respective homes. Jiang Weiguo sat in Kong Lingkan's car. There were four people in the car. , Sitting in the co-pilot seat is Kong Lingkan's sister Kong Lingyi.

As soon as he got into the car, Jiang Weiguo discovered that Kong Lingkan's car was imported, no doubt a luxury car, with smooth lines, beautiful shape, grand and elegant interior, and leather seats.

"Ling Kan, how much is your car?" Jiang Weiguo asked.

Kong Lingkan started to step on the gas pedal carelessly: "Not much, 50 US dollars!"

Jiang Weiguo couldn't help being heartbroken: "Damn it! This broken car can hold up to five BF-109 fighter jets!" He immediately noticed that Kong Lingkan's greasy hair and noodles, a luxurious brand name, and the watch on his wrist can tell that it is too Expensive imported goods, he frowned suddenly, because he didn't like this kind of extravagant and lustful style.

"Second cousin, do you like this car? Okay, then I'll give it to you!" Kong Lingkan thought that Jiang Weiguo had taken a fancy to this car, and immediately gave it away generously.

"Don't! Don't!" Jiang Weiguo repeatedly refused, "I still like to ride in military vehicles!"

Kong Lingkan laughed: "Second cousin, life is short, don't be so harsh on yourself! We are not outsiders, but you are my second cousin. I haven't given you a gift yet for your birthday this year! This car The car is my birthday present to you!"

"Birthday?" Jiang Weiguo himself forgot. His birthday is October [-]th. On that day, he was promoted to lieutenant general by the old man. There was nothing else. He needed to worry about so many military and political affairs. How could he remember? own birthday.

"Second cousin, you are even more popular than the most popular star now!" Kong Lingyi smiled and turned her head, "Father, uncle and many elders are full of praise every time they mention you. Father often teaches Ling Kan and Ling Jie to Learn from you.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, you have done so many great things. My uncle sighed many times, saying that without you, our country would not be where it is today, and we are quite proud of you.

Ling Kan, the second cousin is back this time, it is rare for you to get together, you should ask the second cousin for advice, and in the future, the second cousin can also support and support you, an unbelievable guy!" (Kong Lingyi is a year older than Jiang Weiguo Years old, so Jiang Weiguo is Kong Lingyi's second cousin.

）

Jiang Weiguo laughed dryly: "I heard that Ling Kan is now working in the Central Trust Bureau, isn't it great? He is also contributing to the country!" He pressed a sentence under his tongue: That is a fat vacancies, you still don't Are you satisfied?

"It doesn't make any sense to read and approve documents every day!" Kong Lingkan said bluntly, "Second cousin, I want to join the army just like you. Wearing tough, sharp, and iron horses on the battlefield is what a hot-blooded man should do." !"

"Aspirational! Ambitious!" Jiang Weiguo secretly wanted to laugh while praising him again and again, "Just you? If you dare to go a hundred kilometers away from the front line, my surname will not be Jiang, but your surname will be Kong!"

At this time, Kong Lingyi looked at Chunzi who was beside Jiang Weiguo. Chunzi kept silent and kept a polite smile.

Kong Lingyi looked at Junzi with a subtle meaning in his eyes: "Second cousin, is this my future sibling?"

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "Yes, yes!"

Kong Lingyi smiled and said, "Can she speak Chinese? Can she understand Chinese?"

Junko said: "After I came to China... I started to seriously... learn Chinese, now I only know a little..."

Kong Lingyi smiled softly, and was about to say something, when the car braked suddenly, Jiang Weiguo subconsciously pulled Chunzi back, and then Kong Lingkan yelled, "Are you blind? Do you know who I am? Do you know what is going on in the car?" Who is sitting there?" He leaned out the car window and scolded a peddler who was crossing the road but was almost hit by his car. The eggs, fruits and vegetables were scattered all over the floor.

Jiang Weiguo had already seen clearly just now that it was actually Kong Lingkan who disobeyed the traffic rules and ran amok on the street. This is also his usual domineering style. The tail numbers of his cars all have three consecutive 7s. The traffic police knew it was Kong Lingkan when they saw it. The eldest son of the family, even if he violates the traffic rules, he dare not take care of him.

"Ling Kan!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't stand it any longer, he lowered his face, "It's obvious that you violated the traffic rules and almost bumped into someone, but how can you curse at someone?"

Kong Lingkan's face was a bit ugly, he said in a sly way: "Second cousin is right, I know!"

Jiang Weiguo got out of the car, took out a few silver dollars, handed them to the peddler, and said a few words of comfort, then got back into the car, and taught Kong Lingkan as he continued to drive: "Ling Kan, you must understand that the people are the foundation of the country, and the people must be cherished. We are all the children of high-ranking cadres, and we must lead by example, implement this point, inherit the spirit of our parents, and not do such things that smear the faces of our parents!"

Kong Lingkan nodded honestly: "I remember, I won't do it in the future!"

Probably because of this episode, the atmosphere in the car changed a little. Kong Lingkan was not as radiant as before, only Kong Lingyi still talked to Jiang Weiguo from time to time.

More than ten minutes later, the car arrived at Jiang's mansion. Jiang Weiguo got off the car with Chunzi and said goodbye to Kong Lingkan and Kong Lingyi. Kong Lingkan smiled again: "Second cousin, we organized a dance tonight, and I hope you can attend it then." !"

Jiang Weiguo didn't really want to go: "I guess I don't have time..."

Kong Lingyi smiled and said: "Second cousin, let's come together. First, let's relax. Second, don't let everyone down. Everyone really wants to meet you and listen to your story on the front line!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'll go if I have time!"

At the gate of the mansion, Wang Shihe, the captain of the guards, went out to greet Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Jingguo with a poker face as before, and a warm smile appeared on his stiff face: "Both cousins ​​are back?"

"Hi cousin!" Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Jingguo greeted with a smile, "Are father and mother (madame) here?"

"They're all here!" Wang Shihe nodded, "However, the chairman is in the study to receive important guests!"

"Important guest?" Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Jingguo were immediately interested.

The two brothers walked into the courtyard with their partners. Jiang Weiguo brought Chunzi, Jiang Jingguo brought Jiang Fangliang, son Jiang Xiaowen, and daughter Jiang Xiaozhang. Song Meiling was waiting in the living room. come up.

"Hello, mother!" "Hello, madam!" Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Jingguo saluted together.

"Good! Good! Good!" Soong Meiling hugged Jiang Xiaozhang with a smile like a flower. Jiang Xiaozhang was two years old at this time and could already speak in a childlike voice. Touching Jiang Xiaowen's head, Jiang Weiguo was five years old at this time, and shouted "Hello, Grandma" very articulately, which made Song Meiling smile with joy, then she looked at Jiang Fangliang, Jiang Fangliang smiled and saluted, she finally looked at Chunzi , Junko did not show nervousness or timidity, but half-bowed gracefully, with a gentle voice: "Hello, madam!"

"Hello!" Song Meiling was still smiling.

Jiang Weiguo could tell from the side that Song Meiling's smile to Junzi was obviously different from the smile she showed to Jiang Fangliang.

Jiang Weiguo wanted to know who Chiang Kai-shek was meeting at this time, so after saying hello, he ran directly to Chiang Kai-shek's study room, and sure enough, voices came from inside.

Jiang Weiguo didn't need to eavesdrop at the door, he knocked on the door openly: "Father, I'm back!"

"Wei'er is back? Come in!" Chiang Kai-shek's voice was full of joy.

Jiang Weiguo gently opened the door, and he saw Chiang Kai-shek sitting on a chair with a good complexion, and sitting opposite him was a hale and hearty old man who was over sixty years old and wearing round-rimmed glasses.

"Hello, father!" Jiang Weiguo saluted Chiang Kai-shek respectfully.

"Yeah!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded with great vigor and radiance, "Sit down!"

Jiang Weiguo sat obediently on the chair next to Chiang Kai-shek, maintaining modesty and respect, and then looked at the old man opposite him with puzzled eyes.

The old man was also looking at Jiang Weiguo, his eyes were piercing, showing a look of admiration and admiration: "Mr. Jie, this imposing young man is the famous second son, right? It really is a tiger father with no dog son! Really worthy of it!" He is the son of Generalissimo Jiang! Mr. Jie, I heard that your eldest son has made great achievements in coordinating civil affairs, and the people under his rule are all well-known and praised.

Mr. Jie, congratulations!Your two sons can be described as one civil and one military, one government and one army, both are capable ministers and pillars of the country! "The old man speaks very fluent Chinese.

Jiang Weiguo could tell that this old man was flattering Chiang Kai-shek by praising himself, so he must have something to ask for.

However, Chiang Kai-shek was very happy to be complimented. Although he still said modest words of "where, where", his brows were full of pride and complacency.

"The old man has won the prize!" Jiang Weiguo was modest at first, and then asked Chiang Kai-shek, "Father, this old man is..."

Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said: "Wei'er, this is Chairman Kim and Mr. Jin Jiu of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.

Mr. Kim and the interim chairman of the Republic of Korea are old friends of the government, and they were also comrades-in-arms who shared the same hatred with the government and fought against Japan together! "

"It turned out to be Chairman Kim, please forgive me for being rude!" Jiang Weiguo said very politely, but he said in his heart, "So it's a Korean stick!"

Jin Jiu smiled and nodded, then stood up and looked at Chiang Kai-shek with a submissive expression: "Mr. Jie, since your two sons-in-law, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren are all back, I don't want to disturb your family's joy, so I bid farewell! "

"Okay, okay, okay, Chairman Kim walks slowly, I won't send it off!" Chiang Kai-shek smiled.
