From to 1935 2020

Before the war, Huang Ke provided Stalin with several different versions of the Napalm bomb formula—from napalm to thermite to the most complex and powerful white scale bomb.

In order to obtain actual combat data, Stalin used all these special incendiary bombs, and even took the initiative to send the Soviet Air Force to participate in actual combat bombing.

The history of the land in the northwest belonging to the Ma family army is over.Although there are still a few remnants who escaped and eventually became bandits, they still have to encounter endless pursuit and killing by other surrounding forces.

It took ten years for New China to completely clear the legacy of the Majiajun in history. Well, in politics, people like Xia Xi and Dai Jiying are missing here to clean up the environment.

But this time, such a big mistake will not be repeated.

After the war, Wang Huzi was appointed as the commander of the Hexi Independent Division to lead a division alone, and Dai Jiying was appointed as the political commissar. The task of the two was to continue to clean up the banditry here.And Xia Xi was appointed to manage the follow-up processing of the Majiajun prisoners of war in Qinghai.

Killing will not be indiscriminate, and the labor force here in the northwest is very scarce.But damn it, gotta die.

The demise of the Majiajun was equivalent to helping the Red Army open up another road communication line with the Soviet Union. In history, after China’s coastal ports were occupied by the Japanese army in 1938, the communication line from Xinjiang to Lanzhou was Nanjing at that time. The transfusion vessel for the national government to obtain foreign aid.

As soon as the war ended, the Red Army immediately drove the prisoners of war to repair the bad local roads. It only took a few months at most for this line of communication to be completely unblocked. (Because of well-known reasons, I only briefly mentioned the plot of Ma Jiajun)

Throughout July, Chang Kaishen was still in a state of desperation. The matter of "non-resistance on September [-]" was revealed by someone who "did not talk about martial arts". Although he refused to admit it, at this time the weak turned into a strong Red Army , the newspapers have openly called the "Nanjing National Government" led by him a "traitor" government.

The Red Army took the lead, and the twenty-five boys in the south immediately followed in ecstasy. All of a sudden, the saying "Chang Kaishen is a puppet backed by the Japanese" was blatantly spread throughout South China's non-Chiang-controlled area. It was advertised in the newspaper.

And here in the north, needless to say, the areas controlled by the Red Army, on the Northeast Army side, under the secret instigation of Zhang Xuesi and Mrs. Zhang Xueliang, newspapers in Baoding and Shijiazhuang also began to publish lengthy articles such as "September [-]th" "Secret History" and other "stall news".Han Fuqu's side is even more bluntly hyping up this matter - this [-]-year-old boy who used to invest money in Jiang has long wanted to kick Chang Kaishen and fly solo.

At this time, Han Fuqu regretted the most in his heart, that he was so good at the time of the Central Plains War, that he actually took the money back to do the work.If he had learned from Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army at that time and used the money to do nothing, he would not have had the trouble of being cut down by Chang Kaishen in a different way.

On the side of Pingjin, the only one with better integrity, Song Zheyuan forbade the local newspapers to hype this matter, but during this period, he also ordered the expulsion of all the offices of the Nanjing Nationalist Government in Hebei, from the party headquarters to the secret service agencies, and completely Turn Hebei into its own territory.

Throughout July, the situation in China was still in chaos, division and talk.The most embarrassing thing about Chang Kaishen is that the local warlords in the south openly accused him of being weak, compromising, and traitorous in their attitudes towards Japan with the "well-known history" provided by the Red Army in public opinion, firmly occupying the moral position. The commanding heights of Chang Kaishen's turf, he dubbed "the name of justice" for himself.

After exchanging prisoners with the Red Army, the three main forces of the No. 13th Army, the [-]th Army, and the [-]th Army have apparently recovered their strength, but they are still far from complete.

However, what makes Huang Ke look down on these southern warlords is that these people are all short-sighted people who "get rich if they get rich".

In June, everyone teamed up with the Red Army and cooperated with each other to cut Guizhou and Hunan provinces from Chang Kaishen, and took half of Fujian by force. Throughout July, they were actually "satisfied" with the status quo. More to do.The forces of several parties are currently in a strange "balanced state".

"They're all housekeeper dogs, country bumpkins who live in peace when they get rich! They don't have the ambition to dominate the world at all! They all want to take advantage of opportunities. In terms of structure, this group of people is not as good as Chang Kaishen!"

After July, the domestic fighting between the various forces basically stopped.At this point in time, except for Hanzhong and southwestern Zhejiang and northeastern Fujian, there were basically no battles in other directions.

Countries around the world that had been watching before now gradually saw the changes in China, and then began to intervene one after another.

The first to jump out was the Japanese, who had been "pretending" to be silent for more than three months, and finally couldn't help but jumped out first.

First, it announced to the outside world that the newly established "Northern Alliance" is full of hostility to the "Empire of Japan", and then declared that it will conduct frequent military exercises in the Jehol area.

In terms of specific diplomacy, the Japanese side notified the British and American forces and demanded that they jointly prevent the spread of "communist forces' poison" in China.

However, the responses of the United Kingdom and the United States, and the attitude of the British Empire, a shit-stirring stick, seemed very contradictory during this period.

The reason is: In the past three months, the Japanese have protested to the British government more than once, saying that the Chinese customs under the control of the British are useless, and a large amount of "contraband" has poured into China.

After the British Baldwin government asked the British ambassador in the Far East and learned about the specific situation, they replied with a sneer: "Are you talking about the fact that a large amount of Indian cotton yarn is selling well in China?"

In the past few months, it was definitely the biggest surprise for the British that Indian cotton yarn could regain the Chinese market. Of course, the British who are in charge of customs entry and exit are very clear about what happened.On the surface, Tianma Company, which is led by Pan Hannian, can run amok in Tianjin Port. It is true that the group of "county managers" at the customs are corrupt, but the British upper echelons don't care about this matter, and even their conniving attitude is also an important reason.

——As for the "foreign goods" of this period, Huang Ke's favorite is neither German nor American, but British.During this period, most of the American products were cheap but of average quality, while the German products were of good quality, but the price/performance ratio was very poor.Because of Huang Ke's personal preference, Tianma Company imported a lot of British goods.Due to "smuggling", it even became the largest importer of British products in China (basically all smuggling).Using Indian cotton yarn to run against Japanese cotton yarn was one of Huang Ke's tricks to woo the British to give the Japanese eye drops.

But for the British government, this is a great thing!The customs tax has been reduced, so it has nothing to do with us British people, that is Chang Kaishen's business, and he just sneered three times at this.

After the [-] Incident, the British had long been alert to the Japanese ambitions in China.It's just that the spread of "communism" in China has also made the British extremely alert.But at present, the forces of the Red Army are mainly concentrated in the north of the Yellow River, and are gradually developing towards the Japanese-controlled area.The full-scale conflict between the Red Army and the Japanese seemed imminent to the British.

"That's a good thing!"

The Baldwin government is very willing to see the day when the two sides fight in North China.So in this matter, the bottom line that the British drew for the Japanese in private was "not to cross the Yellow River."

On the American side, "the attitude is ambiguous", putting on a look of "you like to make troubles, as long as you don't hurt my interests."

Then, the Americans continued to export oil and steel scrap to Japan, acting like a black-hearted businessman who "just wants to make money and make war fortune".

The attitude towards Japan was the same, and the attitude of the politicians of the United Kingdom and the United States towards the Nanjing government was "very depressed" during this period.

At this time, the attitudes of the British and American governments towards China have returned to those before April [-]th, but Chang Kaishen is too scumbag and disappointing, making them want to help but unable to help.

As for other domestic warlords...

"Look at it, it's full of crooked melons and bad dates, worse than Chang Kaishen!"

During this period, what is speechless is that Chen Jitang, who is located in Guangdong, unexpectedly received the support of the British Governor of Hong Kong because of the principle of "proximity", and received a million-pound loan from the British.Not only that, but at the quarterly settlement in July, the British did something that surprised even Huang Ke: they actually gave Chen Jitang the income from the customs tax in Guangzhou in the second quarter!The proceeds from Tianjin Customs were temporarily withheld, but they were not transferred to the account of the Nanjing government, so they were temporarily withheld!

"Chang Kaishen is an idiot who cannot be supported!"

At this time, a preliminary impression has been formed among the military attaches and diplomats stationed in China of the two countries.

In their view, in August last year, your advantage was so great that the Red Army was beaten into bandits and was about to die!

Before the Songpan-Baozuo battle, Time magazine in the United States at that time was planning to make Chang Kaishen the cover character of the next issue to make a fuss about him.

Then everyone understands!

This kind of news that turns from great joy to great sorrow is the real big news!After that war, Chang Kaishen still successfully appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, and successfully brought a lot of joy to the American readers who bought the magazine.

A few months later, when Tianshui released the prisoners, some American journalists interviewed Chairman Li Runshi and other high-level Red Army generals in Tianshui. In the last issue of Time magazine published in the United States in 1935, the cover character had been replaced by Li Runshi.It is also the first time for ordinary Americans to learn about the "legendary figure" of another Chinese power on the other side of the Pacific through "Chang Kaishen's joke".

July 1936, this is a very special point in time.

On July [-], the Spanish Civil War broke out!

During the Spanish Civil War, large numbers of foreigners who were not Spanish citizens took part in battles and military advisory positions.

The National Army led by Franco received a lot of financial and military assistance from the German and Italian governments; the Republicans also received assistance from the Soviet Union. The implementation of the arms embargo policy was hindered, but the management of the arms embargo was not very effective, especially when France was accused of transporting the armaments of the Republicans in large freighters (the accusations often came from Italy, which itself actively aided the Nationalist faction).

The secret operations of various European powers at that time were considered by the international community as the fuse that detonated another world war.Regarding the Spanish Civil War, the League of Nations called on other countries to remain neutral and tried to resist the flow of weapons from various forces into Spain, but with little success.

The United States believed that the Soviet Union participated in the overthrow of the Spanish royal family in 1931, so it was hostile to the new republican government.When the civil war broke out, Secretary of State Cordell Hull ordered a ban on all arms sales to the Spanish government, adhering to a policy of neutrality, and the republican government therefore obtained armaments from the Soviet Union.However, American private enterprises provided support for many warring parties. The capitalists all supported Franco, while the civil left and anti-fascists also raised money to aid the Republican government.

And the entire Western world is once again vigilant against the communist forces sweeping through North China.After July, after receiving the last batch of arms, Marco quietly issued a warning to Pan Hannian: Customs began to strictly investigate port smuggling, especially items from the Soviet Union.Fortunately, the land transportation line through Xinjiang has been opened at this time, so the impact is not great.

And the American side of this period....

"The British temporarily cut off the transfer of customs duties in Guangzhou last quarter. Chang Kaishen's side is now very difficult. This is the third time he has asked us for help!"

"Do they want to support Chen Jitang?"

Roosevelt judged: "I probably want to keep one more choice for myself! After all, Chang Kaishen's performance has disappointed them! Recently, Chang Kaishen and the Japanese got too close, and the British also deliberately used this method to challenge him. Sound the warning!"

Seeing Roosevelt’s disapproving appearance, his most important behind-the-scenes chatter and friend, Harry Hopkins, warned him: “Chang Kaishen’s regime is actually on the verge of danger even though he still occupies six provinces in China. , if we can't give support at this time, his regime is likely to collapse completely in the next six months. What's worse, in order to survive, during his period, he is likely to vote against the Japanese regardless of anything— — Our intelligence personnel in China have sent feedback, and during this time he is frequently dealing with Japanese envoys.”

Secretary of State Cordell Hull also warned Roosevelt at this time: "If the Nanjing government continues like this, in order to deal with the increasingly powerful Li Runshi red regime in the north, it is likely to secretly collude with the Japanese and let the Japanese army go south. In this case... .”

Roosevelt interrupted: "Do we, the United States, have many interests in North China?"

Hull replied: "No, only a few companies have invested there, but not many."

"Then what does it have to do with us?"

Roosevelt laughed.

"Mr. President, the Japanese have great ambitions. It is impossible for them to only want one in North China! If they continue to go south..."

Roosevelt mockingly added: "The Japanese continue to go south, it should be Mr. Baldwin who is in a hurry! Don't the British like to play the balance of the mainland? Maybe the red guerrillas can stop the Japanese in North China?"

The two of them stopped talking, and they could see that this Mr. President, who couldn't stand up, was actually very happy to see the situation in front of him.

Roosevelt leaned back on the back seat, and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, making a thumping sound.

"Not long ago, I saw a book from China that predicted our American foreign policy."

Harry laughed, and he said, "I recommended that book to you. The author is a Chinese, a very successful businessman, and he is in a relationship with a very beautiful white lady. They invented the chain Mymycin has a very good relationship with the DuPont family. The streptomycin pharmaceutical factory they cooperated with the Nanjing government will soon be listed in the United States, and this is the first Chinese company to be listed in the United States!"

When he said the last words, Harry’s tone was full of sarcasm. DuPont was so enthusiastic about helping a so-called “Chinese company” to go public in the United States. Roosevelt and Harry had already known the tricks through Hoover’s investigation.

"The DuPont family is ruthless... That Chinese young man is really brave to cooperate with them!"

Roosevelt snorted unfathomably through his nostrils, and then brought back the crooked topic: "That Chinese, he predicted our national policy..."

Harry's eyebrows trembled, and he immediately understood Roosevelt's thoughts.

He said: "The premise of everything he predicted is that the Japanese are greedy and stupid enough!"

"They're just so greedy and stupid!"

Roosevelt laughed again, then came to a conclusion.

"Chang Kaishen's plea for help, don't pay attention to him! People like him, we can help a few more out at any time."

Hull panicked.

"What if he threw himself directly into the arms of the Japanese?"

Roosevelt was still unimpressed.

"That's what Mr. Baldwin has to worry about first, but the place where he has a bigger headache now is not in China, but in Europe."

He picked up the globe on the table, and gently pulled it out, so that the map of China stopped in front of him.

"They have now opened up a land line of communication with the Soviet Union! Don't you think it's interesting to add Chang Kaishen to the Japanese, and Li Runshi to the Soviets? This is the real continental balance! Our British friends actually see It's very clear!"

Roosevelt continued to turn the globe so that the location of Europe stopped in front of him.

"Mr. Hitler, the money owed to the American banker is about to expire? Tell me, will he get the money back?"

Hull, Harry, and Roosevelt laughed together.

"Mr. Hull, when Europe fights again, there is nothing better than Japan getting stuck in the quagmire of China!"

-------------------- Chapter 161 Two Fronts War --------------------

Throughout July, Huang Ke would use this ability to help the Red Army transport heavy industrial equipment as long as the cool-down period of the cross space on his body was completed.

After Yumenguan fell into the hands of the Red Army, the Red Army occupying the area quickly built a simple front-line airport near the oil production point marked by Huang Ke.Afterwards, Huang Ke shipped the already-arrived, related machinery purchased from the United States in the first place.

In addition to oil production equipment, Huang Ke also brought a large amount of construction materials.Use up all of your carrying capacity at once.

Historically, during the Anti-Japanese War (it was only developed in 39 years), the Kuomintang produced a total of 37 tons of oil here.And this time, with the preparation in advance and the help of Soviet experts, more oil can be extracted from the area.

在玉门油田开采点那儿，黄克见到了苏联援助红军的装甲汽车。那是一款六轮装甲汽车，型号为“BA-27M“，在公路上最大速度能达到48千米每小时,最大行程达到300-400千米。苏联人为这批装甲车，配备了一门37mm SH18火炮和2挺DT7.62毫米机枪。

According to the chairman's instructions, Huang Ke stayed in Yumen for six days. After the cooling-off period, twenty of them were taken away with space equipment, and then "airlifted" to Baotou and handed over to Lin Hu's third department.

Flying the GO145 plane, taking the Yellow River as the route reference, on the way to Baotou, Huang Ke and Elena saw from the plane the golden wheat waves on the Houtao Plain below.

After Lin Husan took Bayannaoer, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in the entire Houtao Plain fell into the hands of the Red Army.In the next six months, except for Fu Zuoyi who sent a small number of troops to cooperate with the First Cavalry Division to make a feint attack in the direction of Baotou to suppress Baotou's position, more than half of the main force, together with the prisoners of war of the Jinsui Army at that time, were working hard. The land after land reclamation.

In order to speed up the progress, Huang Ke, who had been prepared for a long time, brought more than 20 steam tractors from the United States that had been eliminated for a long time to help with farming. When the Yellow River was still frozen, those steam tractors had already started plowing the land outside in advance. up.

Before the arrival of the Red Army, the development of the fertile Houtao Plain was very low, a large amount of land was barren, everything depended on the sky, and there were almost no water conservancy facilities.It wasn't until the arrival of the Red Army that things changed.
