Age of Rebirth

Ever since the elite troops of the Kwantung Army were transferred to the Far East and fought the Soviets to death, Japan's flaws in the Northeast were too obvious. It was so obvious that the Emperor of Japan and senior civil servants and military officers were in a cold sweat. Next, all ignore the three 10,000+ troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli who is eyeing the Jinzhou area in western Liaoning, that is, Liu Tiehan's troops in the east.

Tang Qiuli put Liu Tiehan's troops in the west of Liaoning. All the senior generals of the Independent Division knew his intentions. In the future, the important task of recovering the Northeast would be the troops under Liu Tiehan's Northeast Advance Command. Such a tiger-wolf division Placed in western Liaoning, a ferocious attack could be launched at any time. Is it strange that Emperor Hirohito and the senior Japanese generals are not sweating?

In desperation, Hirohito had no choice but to seek the possibility of reaching some kind of agreement with Tang Qiuli. As long as the Kwantung Army encircled and wiped out Timoshenko's Soviet Far East Second Army, the Independent Division did not take any action, which would be the Japanese's greatest threat. Happiness, of course, Hirohito knew, and the senior Japanese generals also knew that it would cost a lot.

The Japanese Foreign Minister Nagatobu Toyoda who is in charge of this top-secret task also knows that although he is full of reluctance, this is the order of His Majesty the Emperor. Unless he does not want to mix in Japan, otherwise, he can only follow His Majesty's will seriously. As a result, a strange phenomenon appeared in Japan. The senior generals unanimously agreed with His Majesty's decision-making. On the contrary, some civil officials were full of resistance. The thinking of the Japanese is really incomprehensible.

However, since the July [-]th Incident, all diplomatic channels and contacts between the Republic of China and Japan have been interrupted, and Toyoda Yongxin, who was in charge of this task, was not worried about his death. Ambassador to China Feng.Earl of Strudel. [

by Feng.The channel of Earl Schedersland conveyed the wishes of the Japanese. Tang Qiuli in Qingdao received a secret diplomatic letter from the German ambassador to China sent to Qingdao by a special person. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. The content of the letter is as follows.

"Dear General Tang Qiuli, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the Republic of China, the war between China and Japan is really a nasty move. Our Imperial Japanese Army and the general's troops have fought many times in North China, and each has won or lost. However, this is all It is an internal dispute among Asian countries. China and Japan share the same language and can contribute to the prosperity and prosperity of Asia. General, if you wish, the Empire of Japan can fully assist you in establishing a country in the north of China.

Today, our imperial army is in the middle of a battle with the invading Soviet army in the Far East. Soviet Russia, a European country, has invaded the territory of Asia. Its red regime, presumably the generals will not agree with it, and the policies and doctrines of the Bolshevik party will also This is the basis of our cooperation. "

"His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, I have only one request for the general. During the period when the Kwantung Army troops encircled and wiped out the Soviet Far East troops, Japan and China will not invade each other and abide by the current front. I am sending my special envoy, Minister of Foreign Affairs Toyoda Naganobu, to discuss relevant matters with your Excellency, Your Excellency." Any conditions that are within the capabilities of our Empire of Japan can be proposed, and the signature is Hirohito, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire of Japan." This is a letter full of lies and nonsense. Tang Qiuli sneered while reading it. If Japan What people say is trustworthy, unless the sun comes out from the west, the eyes of those who see are polluted, the ears of those who listen suffer, and those who believe are idiots and fools, and their heads are squeezed ten times by the crack of the door.

Anger turned into anger, Tang Qiuli was still quite proud of himself. The Soviets and Japanese extended olive branches to him. In the Far East, he was a force that determined where the balance would tilt. Since they all asked for themselves, Then take advantage of both sides, first earn a lot of money, and then say that the current situation is in line with my own requirements, and I have tried my best to facilitate it.

If he sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, and let the Kwantung Army wipe out the Soviet Union's military power in the Far East, Tang Qiuli would not do such a stupid thing. Wait for the Japanese to get rid of Timoshenko and deal with it later. If I send troops to attack the hinterland of the Northeast, the Kwantung Army will definitely not be able to hold back, and the Soviets will definitely deal with me if they slow down.

When doing business, you have to watch the timing. The Soviets and the Japanese maintain a stalemate in the Far East, which is in your best interest. A piece of fat is tied to a bear and a wolf. I am looking for an opportunity to grab the fat. It is interesting to think about it. The Kwantung Army cannot be allowed to wipe out Timoshenko.

Not to mention let the Soviets wipe out the Kwantung Army, and let Stalin directly point his finger at him. The dominant family in the Far East is not powerful, and mutual checks and balances are the most reasonable situation. Only independent divisions can win a period of relatively stable development. When Germany attacked the Soviet Union, Stalin would still ask of himself.

According to the intelligence of Sun Zhenbang in Outer Mongolia, the Soviets have made great efforts to mobilize a large number of troops from Europe. It is not easy for the Kwantung Army to completely occupy the Far East. But the Soviets want to push the Kwantung Army back to the northeast. It is also impossible to recover the Far East. The final situation should be that the Japanese and the Soviets confront each other at a certain demarcation line in the Far East, and reach the place allowed by their respective military strengths.

The Kwantung Army was a rope to tie Stalin, and the Far East was where the Japanese had their mouths, but they couldn’t eat the fat in their stomachs. Every move of Feng Jiwu’s troops would affect the pattern of the Far East. This is Tang Qiuli’s biggest Like a shrewd businessman, he weighed the pros and cons carefully.

As for the bargaining chips from the Soviets and the Japanese, it made Tang Qiuli very troublesome. The Soviet Union can say that it has a vast land and abundant resources, and there is no shortage of everything, but the Japanese make it difficult for him. In addition, there is nothing you want, and the resources are even less.

If you want steel but not steel, if you want coal but not coal, if you want oil but not oil, Tang Qiuli still doesn't like the Japanese weapons. If you want the head of that perverted emperor, it's obvious that the business is going to collapse. Tang Qiuli this Sorrow, pacing back and forth in the office, shaking his head and nodding his head for a while, still muttering inexplicably, the staff officers around him were confused and didn't know that the teacher was committing that kind of evil madness, so they all hid far away.

But no matter what the Japanese wanted, it was too cheap for these bastards. They didn’t eat the fat that was delivered to their mouths. Even Tang Qiuli felt that he was very stupid. After thinking about it for a long time, he knew what he needed. In the end, Chao What the Soviets want is 20 tons of gasoline and 20 tons of diesel oil. What the Japanese want is [-] sets of oil extraction equipment and [-] sets of precision machine tools.

This is not Tang Qiuli's random asking price. With the expansion of the army and the improvement of the degree of mechanization, the demand for fuel has also increased. A mechanized corps directly under his own has almost consumed Dingbian after fighting in Outer Mongolia for more than a month. One-half of the oil reserves in the special economic zone was Zhang Quan's wealth accumulated for more than a year, which made the old man feel so distressed that he almost shed tears.

It is definitely not enough to rely on Dingbian alone. Moreover, the oil production in Dingbian Special Economic Zone has reached its limit, and there is no potential to be tapped. With so many mechanized equipment and no oil, it is a pile of scrap iron. Therefore, Tang Qiuli is very worried. He had planned to develop new oil fields a long time ago, and his eyes had long been fixed on the Dongying area located in the Shandong Peninsula, at the mouth of the Yellow River.

If the memory is correct, in later generations, it is the location of the famous Shengli Oilfield, one of the three earliest developed oilfields in China, together with Daqing Oilfield in Heilongjiang and Liaohe Oilfield at the mouth of the Liaohe River. Oilfields are rich in oil reserves.

Tang Qiuli used Soviet oil to support the development of Shengli Oilfield, and used Japanese equipment to produce oil as soon as possible. Little Japanese machine tools are also well-known in the world. Don’t do it for nothing. The idea has been decided. Tang Qiuli The mood was very excited, humming a little tune, his eyes were shining, and his face was like a money fan, which made the staff feel dizzy for a while, and they muttered in private: "Mr. Probably because Director Mei and Mei Xue are no longer around?"

If Tang Qiuli knew that the staff under his command took his favorite work as an affair between his sons and daughters, he would be so angry that he would faint on the spot, and he would lament, what a shame!

Tang Qiuli called the communication staff and said: "This is the condition I drew up. Send a copy to the Soviet ambassador to China and the German ambassador to China. By the way, add it at the end of the telegram, waiting for the reply time of the Soviets." It is one day, and the waiting time for the Japanese’s reply is two days, and it is sent with a high-level password.”[

Tang Qiuli didn't want Generalissimo Jiang to know the inside story of his dealings with the Soviet Union and Japan, especially with the Japanese. Dai Li's subordinates were not vegetarians. He is the spittle star of the domestic people, and he can drown himself. In the old man's current mind, the worse he falls, the better.

Staggering the time for asking the Soviets and the Japanese to reply by one day is to see the bargaining chips of the Soviets first, and then deal with the Japanese. He is not afraid that the Soviets and the Japanese will not keep their promises. As long as he helps one side, the other side will definitely be finished. , After finishing all this, Tang Qiuli felt that there was something to be done, so he walked back and forth in the office with a smirk, and re-filtered his plan to see if there were any omissions. .

At this time, Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, rushed in: "Report to the commander, the leader of the special warfare detachment Tang Detachment called. The fleet will enter the Qingdao Naval Base at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning and escort it." Fleet commander Liu Cuigang reported that the enemy situation in the Yellow Sea airspace, " Tang Qiuli was overjoyed again, looking forward to it, and finally got his sweetheart home. It's not easy.

"Convey my order, mainly the 29th Corps, and prepare a grand welcome scene. Tomorrow, I will personally go to the military port to meet the triumphant head of the Tang branch," Tang Qiuli ordered to Chen Feng.
