Liu Hua’s bargaining chip
At the headquarters of the East China Field Army in Nanjing, a burst of excited exclamations, like a thunder, sounded in the telecommunications room. "" followed closely, and outside the war room, the sound of the rapid footsteps of Chief of Staff Zuo Quan was remembered.
"Two bosses, great victory, great victory... In less than a day, our navy and army have once again achieved an unprecedented victory. This is the telegram just sent by Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan, after less than four hours of coordination between our navy and army
During the battle, our army successfully regained Shanghai and at a small cost, wiped out all the defenders in Shanghai."
"Recover Shanghai, that's for sure. If we still can't capture Shanghai with absolute superiority, as the commander-in-chief, the first person I want to criticize is you two. After all, the troops participating in the war are all your subordinates.
"Comrade Zuo Quan, is there any other good news..." the commander-in-chief said with a smile on his face. It was obvious that the commander-in-chief was in a very good mood under the impact of one good news after another.
"Yes..." Zuo Quan replied affirmatively.
"Navy Commander Chen reported: The Shanghai Naval Port has been completely occupied by our military. At present, the entire military port has been completely controlled by our naval forces. All captured and damaged ships have entered the dock to start repairs. If nothing happens, it will take at most one week.
These warships can be handed over to the naval force intact for service. Commander Chen asked the frontline headquarters for instructions on what the superiors planned to do with these captured warships, and whether to immediately expand the naval force and form combat effectiveness..."
Seeing the smiling boss in front of him, Liu Hua, who had been smiling silently, said: "Commander-in-Chief, Commander Chen's request, I, the frontline commander, cannot make the decision. After all, the Navy is a force directly under the central government... Do you think?
"
"This Chen Shaokuan has already begun to pursue the idea of these warships before he has been completely repaired. However, this cannot be blamed on our Commander Chen. After all, as the commander of the navy, the central government has allowed him to be the commander of the navy for such a long time.
The polished commander, now suddenly sees so many new warships in front of him, and even a light aircraft carrier, it is impossible not to be tempted..." the commander-in-chief said thoughtfully.
Immediately, he put his eyes on Liu Hua in front of him and asked.
"Comrade Liu Hua, don't shirk. Don't forget that you are not only the commander-in-chief of the East China Field Army, but also a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. Although you are not currently a member of the Standing Committee, you can also be called a national leader.
.What do you think about this issue?"
"I agree to Commander Chen's request and hand over the captured ships to the naval forces as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time..." Liu Hua answered affirmatively.
Seeing the Commander-in-Chief's puzzled gaze, Liu Hua explained: "Commander-in-Chief, on the mainland, with the successive victories of our army, I believe that the end of the war is not far away. However, we are separated by the sea.
Hainan Island and Taiwan Island are in sight. Especially Taiwan Island, which has been occupied by the Japanese army for decades. If you want to solve it, you must have a powerful naval force as a cover to defeat the Japanese army's land, sea and air attacks.
Army troops successfully crossed the Taiwan Strait and launched landing operations..."
"Therefore, in order to win future cross-sea operations at the minimum cost, we must seize every possible moment to allow the naval force to grow as early as possible and form combat effectiveness..."
As the commander-in-chief, although he received the secret message from the chairman to use the captured ships to expand the navy as soon as possible when he received the news of the navy's victory, he was not as far ahead as Liu Hua thought. The war on the mainland is not over yet, and his own thoughts
, has been put into liberating the two islands of Hainan and Taiwan.
Thinking of this, the Commander-in-Chief could not help but show a look of admiration on his face. ("") Then he said with great certainty: "Comrade Liu Hua is right... Zuo Quan, please call Commander Chen back immediately. The Central Committee fully agrees.
His request was that after all the ships are repaired, they should be immediately equipped for service in the naval fleet. In this way, these destroyers, cruisers and light aircraft carriers will be positioned as the first squadron of the Chinese Navy, with Comrade Chen Shaokuan serving as the commander. However, as a navy
As the commander, he must ensure that the soldiers below will be fully familiar with these captured ships within one month at the latest, so that the First Fleet of the Navy can form combat effectiveness. In addition, a fighter group and a fighter group will be transferred from the 1st Air Division.
The bomber group, as aircraft carrier-based aircraft, will immediately depart for Shanghai and be placed under the jurisdiction of Commander Chen..."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
Seeing Zuo Quan in front of him who was not planning to leave, Liu Hua continued to ask.
"Chief of Staff, if there is any good news, please tell me all at once..."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief... Commander Chen reported that in addition to the naval battle at that time, our army successfully captured nearly a thousand Japanese naval prisoners of war. In the battle to regain Shanghai, our army once again captured more than 800 Japanese officers and soldiers, including those with the highest rank.
Major General Sasaki, commander of the Japanese squadron. At present, all prisoners of war have rushed to Nanjing under the orders of Commander Chen and escorted by a destroyer and a transport ship. Commander Chen asked the headquarters to be prepared to accept a large number of Japanese prisoners of war.
Preparations..." Zuo Quan said.
More than two thousand prisoners of war are nothing to the commander-in-chief who can capture hundreds or even thousands of Japanese prisoners of war in any battle at this moment. Therefore, after listening to Zuo Quan's report, there was no
any expression.
However, what is unexpected is that Liu Hua in front of him immediately showed an excited and excited look on his face after hearing the word "prisoner of war". He looked even more excited than when he heard the news of the liberation of Shanghai.
.
For a moment, the two people's eyes were all focused on Liu Hua, waiting for Liu Hua's explanation...
"Boss, you don't understand that these two thousand prisoners of war, especially the one thousand naval prisoners of war, are really important to us. There can be so many, just with the one thousand Japanese naval prisoners of war in our hands, we can make good use of them.
By doing so, we can exchange all the people from the hands of the Japanese army in the country and rescue hundreds of thousands of people safely..." Liu Hua said with excitement.
Seeing Liu Hua with an excited face, when he thought about the big words he just said, the first thing that came to mind for the commander-in-chief and Zuo Quan was that it was impossible. However, when they thought about Liu Hua's usual style, their eyes immediately exuded
Got a fiery gaze.
After all, although there are still 500,000 Japanese troops in China, these 500,000 people have already become the meat of the Chinese army. If the Japanese army did not have hundreds of thousands of civilians in their hands, the commander-in-chief can be sure that at most one
By the end of the month, these 500,000 Japanese troops would disappear under the attack of the Chinese Army.
But now, Liu Hua in front of him actually told himself that there was a way to rescue hundreds of thousands of people from the Japanese army. That meant that he could launch a final general attack on the remaining 500,000 Japanese troops in China and annihilate them all. Faced with this huge temptation, even as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he couldn't help but become moved.
A pair of hot eyes just stared at Liu Hua in front of him, waiting for Liu Hua's explanation.
"Boss, Chief of Staff, as far as I know, the one thousand Japanese navy prisoners sent by Commander Chen are not ordinary prisoners. They are prisoners composed of Japanese noble soldiers... The noble soldiers, as the name suggests, are the various nobles in Japan. As well as the descendants of the ministers, and even worse, the descendants of the Japanese royal family. I believe that in the eyes of the Japanese, especially in the eyes of the Japanese senior officials, there is no comparison between the hundreds of thousands of people in our country and their noble soldiers. ….”
"Once these noble soldiers are shot by us because of their persistence, I can guarantee that even if the Japanese army wins on various battlefields, their country and their government will fall into chaos. Because the nobles still occupy a dominant position in Japan. They have occupied a very important position. Once these people rebel, even their emperor will not be able to suppress them..." Liu Hua explained with confidence.
The boss is worthy of being a boss. As soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, the boss's eyes quickly flashed with a sharp edge. Then, he said with excitement.
"Comrade Liu Hua, you mean to use these nearly a thousand prisoners of noble soldiers to negotiate with Japan, asking it to hand over the hundreds of thousands of civilians in its hands, and engage in a real decisive battle with our army... But in this case, , even if their government agrees to this request, will their troops on the front line agree? After all, these hundreds of thousands of people are what they need to save their lives in the future..."
"I will definitely agree..." Liu Hua said with certainty.
"The reason is very simple. With the destruction of the Japanese squadron, a large number of transport ships were captured by our naval fleet. In a short period of time, the Japanese government no longer had the ability to once again send fleets and transport ships to meet the 500,000 Japanese troops. To put it simply At this point, these 500,000 Japanese troops have no other way out except fighting us to the end..."
"In the final decisive battle with us, these commanders all know that there is only one outcome left for them, and that is to die on the battlefield or be captured. Faced with the same outcome, any wise person will choose to obey the government. Order. Because of this, even if they die in battle, their families will be taken care of by the government."
"However, if the Japanese army chooses another path, it will mean that their lives will be compromised. Then, even if they die fighting for their country, their honor will not be recognized by the country, and their families will not be recognized. Treat it kindly. I believe that these generals are very aware of the influence of the nobles in their country. They will not risk offending the nobles in their country to fight again before they die. "
"Well said...Comrade Liu Hua, originally I was doubtful of your rhetoric just now, but now I feel relieved after hearing your explanation...Okay, I will immediately report your thoughts to the Central Committee and ask the Central Committee to make the final decision. ..." the commander-in-chief replied affirmatively.
