Stalin looked at the intelligence in front of him in shock and asked in disbelief, "Have you confirmed the source of the intelligence? Is it really from Sorge?"
Beria nodded and said, "It has been confirmed. It is indeed true."
Stalin read, "Operation Plan No. 8? Using Manchuria as a base to concentrate 18 to 24 divisions to launch a full-scale war against the Soviet Union? This is a plan that only a madman can come up with. Combined with Japan's recent closeness to Germany. We
It is not difficult to come to the conclusion that Japan is preparing to work with Germany to attack the Soviet Union from east to west."
Beria said with admiration, "Comrade Stalin, your opinion is very correct. What should we do? The results of Zhang Gufeng's battle tell us that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is not weak, and there are still a lot of residual poisons in our troops that have not been eliminated."
clean."
Beria knew very well that Stalin's purge plan was not over. If he asked to stop the purge of counter-revolutionaries on the grounds of preparation for war at this time, he would be the unlucky one in the end.
Sure enough, Stalin took a puff of cigarette, banged his pipe and said, "You are right. The weakening of our Red Army's strength is precisely because our comrades do not have a correct understanding of counter-revolutionaries. However, our military equipment also needs to be further updated. The Soviet Union
It needs iron and blood to guard it."
Beria smiled and said, "Comrade Stalin, you can rest assured. According to intelligence, Japan currently has no more than 1,000 tanks, but we now have more than 10,000. We also have an absolute advantage in the number of aircraft and artillery. We have
Under the torrent of steel, as long as there is a good general, our army will annihilate the Japanese army in the Far East."
Speaking of this, Stalin couldn't help laughing. In the ten years from the first Five-Year Plan in 1928 to today, he built the agricultural Soviet Union into a steel Soviet Union. The armored force of more than 10,000 tanks was his largest
Capital is also an important reason why he unscrupulously dared to carry out a large-scale counter-revolutionary campaign in the army. With so much military power, he is not afraid of attacks from any side... Yes, on the one hand.
——Yan'an
Jiang Cheng came to Yan'an with mechanical equipment and supplies. When he learned that Chairman Mao was in a meeting, he went home to have a look.
Before he got home, he heard a shout in the yard. Jiang Cheng curled his lips and walked in to see that it was indeed Wang Yong and Li Qian practicing their moves.
"My boss." "My boss is back." When the two saw Jiang Cheng, they stopped quickly and clasped their fists at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng waved and asked, "Have everyone else come back?"
Li Qian nodded and said, "They are all back. We have kept our manpower in the Northeast. Recent news indicates that their training is normal. The Anti-Alliance on the other side has also conducted several sneak attacks against Japan with our Anti-Alliance."
Jiang Cheng touched his chin and nodded. It's not time yet for those in the Northeast, so let them grow up slowly.
"Brother Cheng, are you back?" Yu Yishan walked in from outside, but she changed into a military uniform and had a red cross sign tied to her arm.
"Yishan, what's wrong with you? Are you ready to become a doctor instead of a teacher?" Jiang Cheng asked, smiling as he circled around Yu Yishan.
"Brother Cheng, please stop laughing at me. The military medical school started recently. I felt that I couldn't throw away what I had learned before, so I signed up. However, what they taught was too simple, and there was no book you gave me.
"It's so deep." Yu Yishan scratched her head and said, "I don't know if it's because the doctors in Yan'an are not of high quality or something."
Jiang Cheng said helplessly, "Those teachers are just learning and teaching some simple knowledge from my books. What you are looking at are more complex theories. Many of them are purely theoretical things. You can't do that."
Don’t show off casually.”
Yu Yishan stuck out her tongue and said, "Of course, by the way, you haven't eaten yet, go and eat quickly."
At this time, Xiao Wang ran over and said, "203, Chairman Mao knows you are coming and will ask you to come over as soon as the meeting is over."
Yu Yishan immediately pouted, then quickly took out two glasses of water from the room and said, "It's not a hurry, Brother Cheng, you take a drink of water first. Xiao Wang, you take a sip too, and then go again."
Jiang Cheng took a sip and put down the water and said, "Li Qian, come with me. Don't keep the chairman waiting. Xiao Wang, let's go."
Xiao Wang drank the water, wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go."
When Chairman Mao saw Jiang Cheng, he quickly welcomed Jiang Cheng into the room, sat down and said, "Xiao Jiang, there are several reasons why I came to you so urgently. First, Wuhan has begun a large-scale evacuation. As you know, then
I can’t get involved even though you are a fairy, but I remember you said that the retreat from Wuhan left Japan with a lot of things. I hope you can think of a way. The other thing is that Germany’s attitude towards us has changed. Now Hitler
Manchukuo has been recognized, I think you still need to go there, after all, many of us are still in Germany."
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "It is relatively timely for Wuhan to retreat now. When I went there last time, I knew that the Nationalist Government had already made a move to retreat, and Jiang's agent wanted me to assist the Communist Party. I think
You can use the Communist Party to burn supplies in Wuhan. As for Germany, the chairman can rest assured that Hitler has not made up his mind to cut off diplomatic relations, and we have interests connected with them, so I will just go there."
Chairman Mao nodded and said, "It would be best if this is the case."
After Jiang Cheng came out, he immediately issued an order: "Li Qian, you and Wei Guo, Wang Yong and their troops will immediately go to Wuhan to wait for me."
Li Qian's eyes lit up and she said, "I obey, my boss."
——Ganzhou, Jiangxi
**** At a construction site, Zhang Yaruo wiped his sweat as if there was no one else. He touched Zhang Yaruo's hand and smiled. He looked at the busy construction site and shouted, "Everyone, please work harder, let's start dinner soon."
Okay." After that, he said to Xu Junhu next to him, "You did a good job. I'll go to the military camp later, and I need you to keep an eye on me here."
Since ****** took charge of the Youth League, due to his special status and clean political image, he has attracted a large number of like-minded talents, including Xu Junhu, Xu Jiyuan, Shen Chuanfan, Wang Jichun, Cao Yiping, and others.
Wang Sheng came over and said, "Jianfeng, there is news from Weihua. Their boss has brought you a letter."
When ****** heard this, he immediately said happily, "Show it to me quickly."
When **** opened it, he only saw the words inside: "Brother Jianfeng, this letter is like a meeting. I learned in Europe that the Japanese troops have arrived at the gate of Wuhan. I was very anxious. I also learned that the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China, with his foresight and far-sightedness, has directed supplies to Wuhan."
When the personnel retreated, I felt unspeakably happy, but I also thought that the wealth of materials in Shanghai would not be exhausted in three months. Why is Wuhan today not the Shanghai of the past? It will take one month? Two months? Three months? Can the Japanese army compare with us?
?As I think about it, the only solution is to fortify the wall and clear the country. Once the Japanese army breaks through the border, destroy the city and burn things to prevent the Japanese army from achieving their goal of supporting the war with war. However, this matter is very important. I hope that I can help you.
Waiting for good news overseas."
****** didn't expect Jiang Cheng to be so bold, and even thought of burning Wuhan's supplies, but when he thought about it, he felt that this was indeed a good idea, otherwise these supplies would not have been given to the Japanese at a cheap price.
****** immediately wanted to send a message to Chiang Kai-shek's agent, but stopped. Didn't sending the message now make it clear that he believed that the National Army would lose? Now the soldiers and civilians across the country are in urgent need of morale. He has a special status, so he should not speak out casually.
good.
****** thought for a moment and said, "Wang Sheng, take some people with you and go to Wuhan. Then follow Mr. Jiang's arrangements and report to me any situation in a timely manner."
Wang Sheng immediately said, "Don't worry Jianfeng, I'll set off immediately."
--Germany
Jiang Cheng stood on the top of the building overlooking Berlin. The swastika flags and eagle symbols flying everywhere were announcing to everyone who was the master here.
"Boss, now Hitler announced in his speech that he recognized Manchukuo, but there was no further anti-China action, and the people are very quiet, so we think this is just a little trick by Germany in response to Japan's move." Chen Nan bent over.
said.
"Actually, I don't care if Germany wants to abandon China. After all, apart from mediation, Germany is doing nothing now. It doesn't even ship a gun to China. The weapons we buy are shipped by ourselves. Otherwise, it won't arrive at all."
Can’t reach China.” Jiang Cheng smelled the 1938 coffee and said, “How is the problem in Czechoslovakia now?”
Chen Nan replied, "Hitler has already given a speech to support the just cause of the German nation in the Sudetenland. The atmosphere is very tense now. It is said that large-scale riots have occurred in the Sudetenland."
Jiang Cheng snorted and said, "The blackmail is about to begin. Let's make arrangements. I'm going to see Benes. Also, to let the wind out, what Germany wants is not the Sudetenland, but the whole of Czechoslovakia. I want the whole of Europe to know this."
"
Chen Nan couldn't help but said hesitantly, "If the Germans find out about this, will it be detrimental to us?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Chen Nan, you have to remember that we and the Germans are in a relationship of mutual use. Now that the Germans are rude to us, we have to return it. I have never had the idea of forming an alliance with Germany to the end. Okay.
Yes, go and do it. Also, when public opinion spreads, I have a letter here. You can pass it on to Goering, saying it is something that can change public opinion. Also, give Goering more gifts and he will accept them."
The Weihua Group opened the way through novels and got acquainted with a large number of news people in a short period of time. After Chen Nan just used other people's mouth to tell this matter that many people were speculating about, newspapers across Europe reprinted it one after another, and even more
Some even imagined a timetable for Germany's annexation of Czechoslovakia. When Jiang Cheng saw it, he couldn't help but marvel at the imagination of European journalists. This timetable really has many similarities with history.
"Bastard, bastard, who is it? Who is hyping up the annexation of Czechoslovakia?" Hitler slapped the table and shouted, "This is a naked leak. Now both Britain and France are sending notes to me, questioning what our actions will be."
Is it for the Sudetenland or Czechoslovakia? Of course I can only say it is the Sudetenland, but what is certain is that Britain and France have become suspicious of us, which is extremely detrimental to us."
Himmler wiped the sweat from his head and said, "We have found the source, which is several Jewish newspapers. As for where they got the news from, we still don't know."
Hitler pounded the table and shouted, "The problem now is not the source, well, those Jews should be hanged, the problem now is Czechoslovakia, how can we get there."
After saying that, Hitler circled around the hall, mouthing words that no one could understand. He stopped after a while and said, "Immediately hold a press conference, announce our position again, and then contact Britain and France."
, emphasizing our dislike of the Soviet Union."
At this time, Göring knocked on the door and came in, holding a letter and handing it to Hitler and saying, "My head of state, this is what the Chinese Jiang asked me to give to you, saying that it can help us overcome this difficulty."
Hitler took the letter doubtfully, opened it, glanced at it a few times, and laughed and said, "Great, so timely. This information is really well compiled."
Göring looked at Hitler with some embarrassment and said, "My head of state, that Chinese Jiang, specifically said that this information is not false. He can guarantee that the accuracy of all the data in it is more than 90%."
After hearing this, Hitler's face immediately turned livid and asked, "Do you think this information is true?"
Goering nodded with some fear and said, "I don't know what this information is. When I received it, I hurriedly came over and showed it to you, the head of state. I don't know it myself."
Hitler opened the piece of paper and said, "This is a piece of information recording the military strength of the Soviet Union. It states that the Soviet Union has more than 4 million people in the army, more than 1 million people in the navy and air force, and currently has more than 10,000 tanks and a
Thousands of aircraft, 30,000 artillery pieces with a caliber of over 50 mm... and the Soviet Union has a large number of reserve forces. It is expected that once the war starts, more than five million troops will be temporarily recruited within half a month. These troops are not real
They are not new recruits in the sense of the word, but soldiers who have gone through a period of training.”
After saying that, not only Hitler, but also Goering and Himmler turned pale. Although they knew that the Soviet Union's military strength was very strong, they did not expect it to be so terrifying. Germany's military strength at this time was even 1.5 million people.
It's less than that of the Soviet Union, and tanks, planes and other military equipment are not even half as good as those of the Soviet Union.
"Himmler, check, we must find out the authenticity of this data. If it is true, our strategy will have to change drastically." Hitler said in a low voice.
"Yes, my Führer," Himmler saluted.
Goering hesitated and said, "Führer, I think why don't we sign a non-aggression agreement with the Soviet Union first?"
Hitler rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, contact Moscow immediately. We in Germany are willing to maintain peace with the Soviet Union, but this agreement must be signed in a top-secret state. We cannot let Britain and France know about it. By the way, where is that Jiang? He gave
After receiving this information from us, don’t you want to say anything?”
Goering scratched his bald head and said, "I asked him, and he said he was going to Czechoslovakia. It is said that he has a lot of business there, and he has some doubts about the changes in our China policy. My head of state, I think we should
Jiang is distinguished from the National Government of China. It can be seen that Jiang's ability is definitely not comparable to that of the National Government. We should make Jiang our friend."
Hitler looked at Goering, who kept saying good things for Jiang Cheng, and was a little confused, but still asked trustingly, "So, what do you think?"
Goering immediately said, "Well, since Jiang has a lot of business in Czechoslovakia, we will ensure that his business can be protected by us. What are you talking about, Himmler?"
As soon as Himmler saw Goering winking, he knew that the fact that he had benefited from Jiang Cheng was probably known to this damn fat man. Himmler did not dare to make any move, but said, "My Führer, I think Goering is right.
Ginger is indeed an indispensable partner for our Third Reich."
Hitler took the piece of paper and looked at it a few more times and said, "Well, if this information is true, he is indeed qualified for our special treatment. Tell him that no matter what interests he has in Czechoslovakia, we will
