The Nanjing Ministry of National Defense Building is a brand-new six-story reinforced concrete building covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters. Although its name is just called the National Defense Building, in this building are gathered the Ministry of National Defense, the General Staff,
The headquarters of four departments including the Equipment Department and the Logistics Department. This building is also divided into four major areas. On weekdays, more than 4,000 soldiers work here. Because of its shape, it has four protruding shapes.
, so it is also nicknamed the Four Corners.
Since the war against the Soviet Union began, Su Tong has spent more time working in this office building than in the Presidential Palace, and today is no exception.
In the spacious war room, hundreds of staff officers, confidential secretaries and staff are very busy. This is the center of the country's more than five million troops and the brain of the country's armed forces. There are countless military intelligences at every moment.
Reached here from all over the country, hundreds of high-power radio stations are working all the time, dozens of printers are also printing documents non-stop, and confidential secretaries are busy here.
"Jianming, Liu Yecheng called. They and the Soviet 23rd Army led by General Imamonov and Lieutenant General Sloya who stayed in Irkutsk yesterday afternoon had completely annihilated a total of 300,000 people, and captured
80,000, and now the First Army Group is advancing towards Nizhny Uginsk. Sun Liren also called. Through aerial reconnaissance, they discovered that Vasilevskiy in Nizhny Uginsk showed signs of wanting to break out. Since yesterday afternoon, they have been moving towards Nizhny Uginsk.
Three group army-sized counterattacks were launched in the north, and the fighting was very fierce." Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi reported the work to Su Tong while handing him a compiled letter with the latest battle situation.
Taking the document and looking at Bai Chongxi whose eye circles were obviously darkening, Su Tong said with concern: "Brother Jiansheng, I know your work is very heavy, but you also need to pay attention to rest. You need to balance work and rest to work better."
, if you are exhausted, where can I find such a capable chief of staff." At the end of the sentence, Su Tong's words were obviously ridiculing.
Although Bai Chongxi's face looked tired, his spirit was very exciting. After hearing this, he smiled and said: "What's the point? I remember that during the Central Plains War, I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, and commanded the troops to attack the Central Army.
, Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Bai Chongxi waved his hands with a wry smile, “In those days, our own people beat our own people, no matter how good we were, it would be embarrassing to say it. But this time I’m beating an old man and I have to fight even if I’m an old man.
, when I die, I can also say to our ancestors that our generation of soldiers has not brought shame to the country, and we have laid down a large territory for our descendants."
"Yes, we have laid a huge territory for our descendants." Su Tong murmured softly, "I just don't know how our descendants will evaluate our generation of soldiers a hundred years from now."
"No matter how they evaluate us, we are worthy of our duty as soldiers and the mission entrusted to us by the people. Some may say that we are murderous, and some may say that we are belligerent, but we are worthy of the mission of the National Defense Forces, just like now
No matter where we go, we can proudly say to our people, "We have taken back the land lost by the decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty." A voice sounded behind the two people.
Su Tong looked back and immediately laughed and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Dan Ning. When did you learn to listen to the wall?"
"I didn't mean to listen. Who told you to speak so loudly?" Jiang Baili, who was standing behind, also smiled and said: "I saw you guys talking so engrossed here, so I came over to listen. Who knew you were actually here?
Let’s show each other merit.”
"Expressing merits." Su Tong suddenly smiled bitterly, "Now is not the time to show merits. The Germans are currently attacking with great momentum. Although our troops entering the Soviet Union seem to be large, they are still in the millions of square kilometers of Siberia."
After such a spread, the number of troops does not seem to be that large. Now Hu Lian's third army group is advancing eastward. They have to fight all the way to the coast of the Bering Strait before they can stop. Although their army group has 150
Ten thousand people, but to occupy more than three million square kilometers, the troops are a bit tight. The remaining First and Second Army Groups still have to push all the way west, not to mention the difficulties in supply, but also the difficulties along the way.
There is no telling how many battles there are. The founding father of the country, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, said it well, "The revolution has not yet been successful, and comrades still need to work hard."
"No matter how difficult it is, we must fight." Jiang Baili said with a solemn expression: "This great opportunity now can be said to be rare in hundreds of years. If you miss it, you may never have such a good opportunity again."
After listening to this, Su Tong sat down, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, distributed them to the two of them, lit them, took a deep breath and said: "Now I'm not worried about the Soviet army. What I'm worried about is
Once Vasilevsky's Southeastern Front is annihilated, we will inevitably encounter the German army on the way to the west. I know Hitler well. He is simply a greedy guy. His appetite is not limited to Ukraine and Ukraine.
As for Belarus, his goal is the whole of Europe. This conflicts with our plan to support Alexey's Russian Empire, a pro-China force. If there is a conflict of interest with the Germans, what should we do or not?
If there is a conflict with the Germans, the Americans and British will laugh."
When Su Tong said this, Bai Chongxi and Jiang Baili also began to think deeply. Although China and Germany are as good as honey mixed with oil, once a conflict of interest occurs, both parties may fall out at any time. If they fall out, what will happen?
It played into the hands of the United States and Britain, who were watching the excitement from the sidelines.
The three of them were silent for a long time, and after a long time Jiang Baili said slowly: "In this case, we will only fight as far as Yekaterinburg, and then take this opportunity to consolidate the east, sit back and watch the Germans and Lao Maozi fight hard, and we will give them a
"Speaking of this, Jiang Baili laughed softly.
"Let's watch a tiger fight in the mountains," the three of them said in unison, and then laughed out loud at the same time. Who would have thought that the sound was so loud that it attracted the attention of many staff officers nearby.
It took a long time before Bai Chongxi added: "Having said that, we still have to find a justifiable reason, otherwise it would be terrible if we make the German man dissatisfied or make him see the flaw and withdraw his troops without fighting.
"
"No, Hitler will definitely attack Moscow, and he will definitely beat him to pieces in front of Umyanovgrad. Then it will be time for us to appear on the stage." A mysterious look flashed in Su Tong's eyes.
