Age of Rebirth

Chapter 770 Extremely Excited Japanese

In the Battle of the Hugilt Mountains in the foreign country, the entire Soviet Far East Special Army was annihilated. It was a huge shock to the Soviet leadership. Stalin held a meeting of the Politburo overnight to discuss countermeasures to deal with this emergency. The atmosphere of the meeting seemed a bit depressing. , members of the Politburo were silent.

Stalin didn't set the tone, so the meeting couldn't get to the point. Numerous questions and judgments swirled in Stalin's mind. This newly rising military and political strongman in China would give the Soviet Union a blow as soon as he made a move. That's how Tang Qiuli acted. This gesture forced his way into Stalin's heart, and whether he accepted it or not, the most powerful young general in China at present brought Stalin endless troubles.

Based on the psychological analysis of politicians or politicians, behind this Tang Qiuli, there must be some powerful force secretly supporting him, otherwise, Tang Qiuli would not dare to attack the Soviet Union's sphere of influence. The United States and Britain are the largest countries. Perhaps, the Communists were excluded by Stalin at all. Britain and the United States had plots in the Far East to challenge Tang Qiuli, a newly rising warlord in China, to challenge the Soviet Union.

Stalin considered everything, but he didn't consider that foreign countries have been China's territory since ancient times. If the Soviets hadn't intervened behind the scenes and split the territory of a sovereign country for their own interests, there would be no troubles like Choibalsan and others. Independence, and has resulted in de facto independence. [

Russians have had a morbid greed for territory since the Tsarist era. In the Tsarist era, Russia’s national emblem was a double-headed eagle with its feet on the earth, looking at Europe and Asia at the same time. After winning the victory, the national emblem was replaced with a sickle and hammer, but the double-headed eagle was deeply hidden in Stalin's heart. The rational request for the territory of Finland and the covetousness for the territory of China in Asia all stem from inherent mentality.

To be honest, Stalin was not very interested in foreign lands that were either grasslands or Gobi, sparsely populated, and had few resources. It was just because it aimed at the favorable strategic position of China, a big southern country. It was as simple as that. Tang Qiuli is definitely not an opponent, but the focus of the Soviet Union's defense is Europe. That Hitler's covetousness for the Soviet Union's territory is no less than his own desire for the territory of other countries. There is also the Japanese on the northeast border. The ignorant and arrogant wolf has long coveted the Soviet Far East.

In the final analysis, diplomats cannot be lost, and the Soviet Union cannot use all its power to deal with Tang Qiuli. Stalin already has a basic idea. He raised his head and asked Yegorov, the chief of the Soviet Army's general staff: "Comrade Yegorov, the military The General Intelligence Bureau, how much information do you have on the Chinese general Tang Qiuli?" Yegorov shook his head and replied dryly: "Comrade Stalin, very little, almost blank, Tang Qiuli has just come into our sight .”

Stalin shook his head, and seemed to say to himself: "The director of the General Intelligence Bureau is very incompetent." , The leader spoke, and the members of the Politburo of the CPSU spoke with one voice, shouting and fighting. The dignity of the Soviet Union is not allowed to be challenged, and the interests of the Red Soviets must be defended.

The meeting did not waste much time, and a resolution was formed to immediately organize troops to launch a large-scale violent counterattack against the squadrons that invaded foreign countries. With their ambition to recover foreign countries, the mobilization of troops is mainly based on the Far East Military Region, which can strengthen the strength of the air force and tank troops.

The tone of the troops was set, and the candidates to command this force aroused controversy among the members of the Politburo. Stalin did not speak, but asked the Minister of Defense Malenkov: "Comrade Malenkov, based on your knowledge of the Far Eastern Military District, what is the leadership of the Military District?" Is there anyone in the team who is qualified for this position?" Malenkov pondered for a while, and replied: "Comrade Stalin, Comrade Zhukov, who is currently the deputy chief of staff of the military region, is very suitable to be the commander of this unit."

Stalin obviously trusted Malenkov very much, nodded and said: "Okay then, on the basis of the Far East Special Army, expand this unit into the First Far East Army, and propose Comrade Zhukov to be the commander of the Army Group, responsible for the military mission abroad." The battle in the * area, no one objected, right?"

The boss has spoken, and if he opposes it, he is looking for death. A show of hands voted. Stalin’s proposal was passed unanimously. It is a historical opportunity. Zhukov, who has won the title of Hero of the Soviet Union three times, is a historic figure who contributed to the victory of the Great Patriotic War and the Soviet-German War for the Soviet Union. , finally came to the front desk and started his brilliant and legendary military career, and there were only three people in the Soviet Union who won the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

Assuming that Tang Qiuli hadn’t launched the War of Foreign Invasion, whether Zhukov would still be buried in the Far East Military Region as a competent staff member is still unknown, but Zhukov’s performance in the War of Foreign Independence later was enough to be called He was one of Tang Qiuli's opponents. Even though he did not keep his foreign diplomacy in the end, this piece of Chinese land that Stalin clung to, but because of his outstanding military talents, he still gained Stalin's high trust and repeatedly Promoted to the position of chief of staff of the Soviet Red Army, he entered the circle of the core leadership of the Soviet Union.

"That shameful deserter Mikovsky, let him be tried by a military court. In the Red Soviet Army, such a scum is not allowed to exist. He is a disgrace to the Red Army," Stalin said to Defense Minister Malenkov, Malenkov Nodding his head, he already knew how to deal with the former commander of the Far East Special Forces, that is, to shoot him publicly, and the supreme commander said that even if Mikovsky was Jesus' own son, he would die.

Or Stalin's words, this Mikovsky, who climbed to a high position with the blood of his comrades on his hands by relying on informants and faithfully implementing the anti-revolutionary policy, is doomed. Perhaps he would never have imagined that there would be such an end. From the moment he abandoned the army and ran for his life, he was doomed. No army, red or any other color, could tolerate deserters. He was a beneficiary of this system, a martyr, and even an abandoned one.

Late at night, ***, Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito’s Palace, facing the ministers of civil and military affairs summoned late at night, for many days in a row, Emperor Hirohito’s face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face. After receiving the monitoring report from the bureau, Emperor Hirohito has been in extreme excitement. His depression and distress for many days have been swept away, and even his mother, who has been resting for many days, has the desire to move around.

If it wasn't for the imperial meeting, he would be eager to welcome the coquettish concubines. Yuren, who was in a good mood, personally greeted the ministers who came to the meeting at the gate of the main hall, which made the ministers who were always uneasy , also seemed to see the long-lost sunshine, so relaxed that he was about to float.

Emperor Hirohito not only had a happy face, but also made an exception to prepare authentic Chinese snacks and mellow sake for the ministers present. Hirohito picked up the wine glass, his face flushed with excitement, as if he had received a hundred injections of chicken blood, "Today , is the most comfortable and relaxing day in my heart. The information sent by the Army Intelligence Bureau is the best panacea for me. You all know that Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, is out of the country. In the region, fierce battles broke out with the Soviets, and the Soviets suffered a great loss, God bless my great **** empire! Cheers!"

All the ministers present, except for Prince Xianyuan Gongzairen, chief of the general staff of the base camp, Koichi Minai, the Minister of the Army, and the Minister of the Army, this is the first time for the other ministers to hear this shocking news. Standing up, he drank the sake in his hand. No matter what, this news was great news for the Japanese people, and the little dissatisfaction that had arisen from concealing such important news from the army in his heart had long since Just ran away to cloud nine.

Regarding this devil of China who has suffered so much from the army and navy of China, hated him deeply, but is helpless, the military circles of China are somewhat frightened when they mention it. When Qiuli fought, he regarded it as a fear of the road and a lesson learned from the past. So many senior generals were killed. Now, Tang Qiuli didn't know how deep he was, and he got into trouble with the Soviets. This is his own destruction.

As far as the Japanese are concerned, Tang Qiuli's military operations in the foreign areas, whether successful or not, are absolutely beneficial to the Great Japanese Empire. If they are defeated, the Soviets will vent their anger on the Japanese However, Tang Qiuli's military strength will also suffer a heavy loss, and it may not be possible to know that Tang Qiuli will suffer from a setback. Then, what the Kwantung Army is facing is a weak opponent, and Manchuria, Liaoxi and even North China will return to the empire. Here, to solve the biggest opponent, isn't China at my beck and call?

If Tang Qiuli wins, he will definitely turn against the Soviets. He will have an inextricable hatred. He has added a powerful enemy out of thin air, and it will also reduce the Japanese army's fear of the Soviets by a lot. The Soviets are in the Far East. The failure of the Communist Party gave the Japanese the ambition to restart their coveted territory in the Far East of the Soviets. Since the inferior Chinese can defeat the Soviets, the excellent Yamato nation can also defeat the Soviets. This is the simplest thing in the hearts of the Japanese. Conversion question.

Therefore, the Japanese hoped that Tang Qiuli would fight the Soviets as fiercely as possible in the foreign countries. It would be better if he was trapped in the foreign countries and could not get his legs out. Fortunately, he annoyed Stalin and used all his energy to deal with him. This is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Great Japanese Empire. Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese military and political circles will not let go of this historical opportunity. [

Drinking mellow sake and eating dishes carefully prepared by the imperial chef in the palace, Emperor Hirohito and senior military and political officials of Japan have never discussed military affairs in such a relaxed atmosphere since the all-out war against China. The beautiful maid serving the wine, the aroma of the wine and the fragrance of the woman's powder, really fell into the enjoyment of the side.
