Zhou Guansheng naturally understands Yan Xishan's thoughts, but no matter what, Yan Xishan's actions ultimately represent that the original Jinsui Army has begun to fully integrate into the forces of Yan'an, which is a good thing for Yan'an and the whole country in the future.
.
Jiang Cheng looked at the car in front and said, "Now that we have taken care of one side, the next step is to take care of Malenkov. Do you have any ideas in this regard?"
Zhou Guansheng nodded and said, "I have already sent someone to make arrangements. I don't know if Malenkov has read Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I guess he hasn't, but it's okay even if he has read it. He will recognize it even if he guesses wrong."
When Jiang Cheng and Yan Xishan heard what Zhou Guansheng said, they guessed a bit and just waited to watch the show begin.
Kawashima Yoshiko, who had just returned home, had already received the news that Yan Xishan was greeting Malenkov at the city gate. She immediately came to the city gate in disguise, inquired around, and finally confirmed that the rumor was true. She couldn't help but feel baffled.
She immediately returned to the restaurant through the back door. Zhenggeng saw Yoshiko Kawashima leaving and returning, and couldn't help but curiously asked, "Gege, did something happen?"
Kawashima Yoshiko nodded and said, "The Soviet representative Malenkov has just returned to Taiyuan. Yan Xishan organized a large number of people to welcome him. He also said that the Soviets did not support us, did not provide weapons, nor did they provide equipment and workers. This is not
Do you want to cover it up?"
Yoshiko Kawashima felt something was wrong as she said this. Yan Xishan knew it himself. He was the most cunning person. How could a person who was called an old fox do such ridiculous things? If the equipment of the Eighth Route Army and those foreign
If the workers are all funded by the Soviet Union, what is the purpose of this? If they are not provided by the Soviet Union, then why are they doing this?
Yoshiko Kawashima couldn't figure it out, and said helplessly, "I'd better tell the Japanese about this matter as it is, and let the Japanese analyze this matter. I really can't understand it."
With that said, Yoshiko Kawashima came to the secret room again and started to send the report. Zhenggeng said to Yoshiko Kawashima, "Gege, we just sent the report. The Eighth Route Army should have noticed that there are abnormal radio waves. Can you please wait a moment?"
Yoshiko Kawashima shook her head and said, "We have been lurking here for a year without any results. This is an opportunity. No matter what Yan Xishan's purpose is, if they cause trouble in the city, the Japanese will know about it sooner or later.
When the time comes and it is discovered that we did not report it in time, we will still be the ones to blame.”
Zheng Geng thought so, so he stopped stopping Yoshiko Kawashima and asked him to send the report.
--Nanjing
Nishio and Itagaki Seishiro looked at the information sent by Kawashima Yoshiko, their eyes widened and they felt that their brains were completely exhausted.
Nishio scratched his head and asked, "Isn't this Yan Xishan an old fox? I remember that the North China Front Army wanted to win over him, but not only failed to win over him, but instead used a lot of arms. This thing doesn't look like Yan.
Xishan can do it.”
Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said, "Obviously, this was deliberately arranged by the Yan'an Red Party. I can analyze two things.
First: The relationship between Yan'an and the Soviet Union is suspected to be not harmonious, otherwise it would not embarrass the Soviet representative in this way. Regardless of whether the equipment was provided by the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union definitely did not want the news that it had sent a secret envoy.
Spread the word.
Second: The Eighth Route Army already has extremely high self-produced weapons capabilities. If it were just a small workshop, the Soviet Union would not be interested in seeing it. Moreover, Yan Xishan’s argument obviously hopes to make outsiders think that the Eighth Route Army can develop.
It was all because of Soviet aid that the Red Party in Yan'an actually had another source of weapons."
Nishio hummed and said, "Last time Ishihara-kun wrote a letter saying that he found traces of Chinese activities in Germany. The North China Front Army's intelligence also showed that in the early stages of the China Incident, a large number of German equipment appeared in the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army.
, so I think Yan'an may have connections with Germany."
Itagaki Seishiro clapped his hands and said, "Yes, and it must be an extremely confidential connection. The contradiction between the Soviet Union and Germany is very obvious. Although they are now alliance, the Soviet Union definitely does not want its younger brother to be attracted by Germany. Therefore, I think Yan'an's weapons and equipment
At first, there were two sources, one from the Soviet Union and the other from Germany. Now I don’t know why the Soviet Union knew that Yan’an was connected to Germany, so it went to Yan’an and Taiyuan. The purpose was to find evidence of the connection between Yan’an and Germany! And Yan’an
The reason why such rumors were released was so that when the Soviet Union found evidence, it could counterattack and make outsiders mistakenly think that the conflict between the Soviet Union and Yan'an was just an act."
As he spoke, Itagaki Seishiro stood up and said doubtfully, "But what are they doing this for? I don't understand. The information we got is still too little."
Nishio said nonchalantly, "I just want to know whether Yan'an will receive a lot of assistance in the future, especially in terms of arms, and whether the Soviet Union will participate in the war."
Itagaki Seishiro said analytically, "Now that Yan'an and the Soviet Union have bordered, it is extremely convenient to transport supplies from the Soviet Union to Yan'an. I wonder if Yan'an has cut off contact with Germany now. After all, we have blocked the coastline and all access to West Asia is
In the hands of those warlords, Yan'an is preparing to fully surrender to the Soviet Union. I even estimate that Yan Xishan did this just to show Yan'an's attitude and show that it will only ask for assistance from the Soviet Union in the future."
Nishio couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this and said, "In this case, the strength of the Eighth Route Army will increase again. Even if we force Chiang to surrender or negotiate, we will not be able to end this war."
Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said, "Yes, the actions of the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu clearly tell us that they are different from Chongqing. I hope that the Changsha Battle will end soon, and we can use our hands to deal with the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army."
Nishio added, "The intelligence over there contains the time and route of Malenkov's return. Should we send someone to ambush him?"
Itagaki Seishiro shook his head and said, "One more thing is worse than one less thing. The Empire's army is already struggling in China. We can't let that polar bear become hostile to the Empire anymore."
While Nishio and Seishiro Itagaki were continuously analyzing, a small banquet was being held in Taiyuan City.
Malenkov looked at the large table of delicacies and couldn't help but twitch his fingers, especially when he saw a glass bottle in the middle. The crystal clear liquid in it made him swallow his saliva. He knew clearly in his heart.
, it must not be water.
"Haha, this is our Shanxi Fenjiu. Come on, come on, give it a try. Others say that we Shanxi people are stingy. I want to tell you, those are all rumors. Try it. Am I stingy?" Yan Xishan told Malenkov
He poured a glass of wine and said.
Malenkov sniffed it with his nose twitching, couldn't help but lick it, and suddenly said with bright eyes, "What a good wine! Although it's not as good as our vodka, it has a different taste."
Zhou Guansheng said with a smile, "Drink more if you think it tastes good. Comrade Malenkov, this wine was brought out by our Chairman Yan from his home. It is his private collection."
Malenkov immediately forgot how Yan Xishan teased him during the day, gave Yan Xishan a thumbs up and said, "The person who can give his friends the best wine must be a true Comrade Ge Ming. Comrade Yan Xishan, I think your cabinet
He is very enlightened. He is a true proletarian enlightened person."
Yan Xishan rolled his eyes in his heart. These Soviet devils really forgot everything when they saw the wine. He said, "Then let's drink. Drink happily. We have agreed in advance. Today we will only talk about the local customs and customs."
, don’t talk about any state affairs.”
Malenkov nodded and said, "Okay! Let's do it like this! Drink!"
As he spoke, Zhou Guansheng waved his hand, and a song was played from the gramophone. The exciting music made Malenkov couldn't help but say with joy, "This is Katyusha! It is the latest song of our Soviet Union, and you actually have it here, too.
It’s really incredible.”
Zhou Guansheng complimented and said, "Many of our Soviet songs are great and are widely circulated here. Have you forgotten? Many of us studied in the Soviet Union. When they return to China, they often sing our latest Soviet songs."
Bring back literary and artistic works, come on, let us raise our glasses and toast to the great Soviet Union!"
Malenkov immediately stood up and raised his glass and said, "Cheers to the great Soviet Union! Cheers to the great redism! Cheers to the great Comrade Stalin!!"
After saying that, he took the lead and drank a glass of Fenjiu. Yan Xishan was stunned. Yan Xishan looked at Malenkov and Zhou Guansheng in disbelief and said, "This wine is more than 60 degrees. It's an old wine. Comrade Malenkov
Nothing will happen if you drink like this, right?"
Malenkov laughed loudly and said, "We Soviets have two things. One is the least afraid of the cold, and the second is the best drinker. I know our Chinese comrades can't stand it. In this way, I drink a glass and you drink half a glass."
"As he spoke, Malenkov looked at Yan Xishan with a joking expression. Yan Xishan looked at the Fenjiu in front of him and felt sweat on his forehead.
Zhou Guansheng said with a slight smile, "Comrade Malenkov, you are a guest from afar, so why should I ask you to drink more? Like this! You have one drink! I'll have two!"
With that said, Zhou Guansheng picked up the wine glass and drank it. Zuo Quan, who was accompanying him next to him, was startled. Zuo Quan was just about to stop him when he was grabbed by Boss Peng. Boss Peng shook his head with a smile, indicating that it was okay, and Zhou Guansheng drank.
After finishing his own glass, he picked up Yan Xishan's wine glass next to him and said, "I won't pour it anymore. Let's borrow some wine first." After that, he drank another glass.
Malenkov saw that Zhou Guansheng had indeed finished two drinks, and his expression remained unchanged after drinking. He immediately knocked on the dining table and shouted, "Okay, okay! Great! Come on, Comrade Zhou Guansheng, let's have a good drink!"
Jiang Cheng, who was acting as a guard, watched Zhou Guansheng and Malenkov drink one glass at a time and I drank two glasses of water, and he felt that his outlook on life had been severely shaken. He had heard that Zhou Guansheng was very good at drinking. In later generations,
At that time, after the founding of New China, Xu Shiyou made many mistakes because of drinking. He even made a general miserable, captured his guard, and asked the wine supervisor to hold his chin and force him to drink from a bowl. He was finally sued.
When they arrived at Zhou Guansheng's place, Zhou Guansheng didn't scold or beat him. He called Xu Shiyou to his home and served him a plate of peanuts as food and drinks. You drank one cup and I drank one cup. After drinking, Xu Shiyou no longer dared to ask anyone to fight for wine, and almost gave him a drink.
Kneel down and admit your mistake.
But rumors are just rumors after all. Only when I saw Zhou Guansheng drinking together did I know what a Jiu Xian is. Malenkov and Zhou Guansheng finished a bottle of Fenjiu within a few rounds. Zhou Guansheng was probably in the mood for drinking and said, "Comrade waiter, please
Just go to Fen Bar with four bottles, Comrade Malenkov will have one bottle, I will have two bottles, and the other comrades will drink one bottle together."
Malenkov looked at four more bottles of wine, glanced at Zhou Guansheng suspiciously, stepped forward to open the four bottles of wine, smelled them, and then said sheepishly, "I'm afraid they got the wrong wine."
Zhou Guansheng said magnanimously, "How about you choose Comrade Malenkov first?"
Malenkov picked up a bottle and said, "All the same, all the same."
Zhou Guansheng nodded, took away two bottles and said, "Let's not drink anymore. Let's chat and talk together. Don't worry, Comrade Malenkov, we won't come back until we get drunk today!"
Malenkov just said that the Soviets are the best at drinking. Now he was asked to say that he couldn't drink. He couldn't say it out loud and immediately said, "Okay! Just drink like this!"
Jiang Cheng watched for a while and felt that he was unbearably hungry, so he walked out to get something to eat. When Li Qian saw Jiang Cheng coming out, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it inside?"
Jiang Cheng shook his hand and said, "Forget it, you are not drinking. You are drinking water. I really didn't expect Vice Chairman Zhou to drink."
Li Qian was stunned for a moment, rolled her eyes, and laughed and said, "Drinking? That's it. You just give my senior brother a bucket of wine, and my senior brother can drink it all."
Jiang Cheng said in disbelief, "Qianqian, I know you are his junior sister and you want to protect him, but don't brag. Even an elephant would be drunk to death with this barrel of wine, right?"
Li Qian waved her hand and said, "You don't know, my senior brother learned my grandfather's special skill of Xingyi Baguashou. My grandfather saw that he was smart and taught him the internal skills. Please take a closer look at my senior brother's shoes later."
Is it all wet? My senior brother used his internal force to force all the alcohol out through his pores. His internal skills are extremely high. I estimate that as long as he doesn’t work too hard, he will have no problem living to the age of 90.
No."
Jiang Cheng recalled that Zhou Guansheng in later generations lived to be 77 years old. From this point of view, Zhou Guansheng really worked hard and devoted himself to the country in later generations. Jiang Cheng looked at the restaurant, clenched his fists, and made up his mind.
Time and space will never let things that shouldn't happen happen again.
At the wine table, Malenkov already regarded Zhou Guansheng as a god. Now he felt that his tongue could hardly straighten, and he stammered, "Comrade Zhou Guansheng, you... you are a real man."
..The true enlightened one, come! Drink!!”
Zhou Guansheng smiled and said, "I think everyone has almost eaten. Let's go here today. Comrade Malenkov, you can't drink anymore."
Malenkov's eyes turned red when he heard this. He drank one drink by himself and Zhou Guansheng drank two. In the end, he lost. This will spread out. He will be laughed to death when he returns to the Soviet Union. This will become a stain on his foreign policy. Malenkov
My husband made up his mind that he would never admit defeat even if he drank himself to death at the wine table.
