The next day, major newspapers under the control of the Kuomintang published articles one after another, beginning to publicize Xu Rui's deeds of dredging the Baotou Tea Road, and praised Xu Rui's sentiments for rejuvenating the country through commerce. The words were elegant and gorgeous.
, always praised Xu Rui as a rare person in the world, and those who didn’t know said that Xu Rui is the chairman of Suiyuan Province.
Immediately after the declaration, major newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao also began to follow suit.
In the end, famous democratic parties such as Mrs. Sun also gave public speeches or published articles in newspapers and magazines to express their support for Xu Rui! As the widow of the founding father, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Mrs. Sun has great political influence in Chinese politics.
She is so important that even Chairman Chiang is afraid of her.
As soon as Mrs. Sun spoke out, the matter of clearing the tea road had a great impact.
Because the matter was so important, Chairman Mao began to have some drumming in his heart.
The world only knows that Chairman Mao has excellent strategic vision, but few people know that his ability is not innate, but summarized bit by bit after reading a large number of books. US President Richard Nixon said in his memoirs
He described in detail what he saw and heard in Chairman Mao's study.
When Nixon was invited to walk into Chairman Mao's study for the first time, he was immediately stunned by the books that almost filled the entire study. As far as he could see, the entire study was almost full of books. What was even more awe-inspiring was that almost all the books in the study were filled with books.
Every book was torn through, so Nixon was impressed at once, because an old man who had read so many books had a vision that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and his political wisdom was beyond that of ordinary leaders.
Can be compared.
Chairman Mao during the Yan'an period was already extremely knowledgeable. It is no exaggeration to say that since he became the librarian of Peking University, he began to read a large number of Chinese and foreign classics. By now, his knowledge has far exceeded that of his contemporaries.
Of course, the vast majority of people in this generation cannot compare with those experts in their pursuit of refinement in a specific subject.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao had great respect for experts and scholars, because he knew very well that these experts and scholars were truly knowledgeable and capable. Of course, the experts and scholars here were by no means specializing in the Internet after the Internet became popular in later generations.
Those who are short-tongued are called beasts.
Back to business.
Chairman Mao's knowledge was very rich, but he tended to focus on philosophy and humanities, and read relatively few books on business. Therefore, he also had doubts about whether Xu Rui could really clear the Baotou Tea Road, but before
It didn't have much impact, so I didn't care much about it.
But now, the impact has been caused, and Chairman Mao must pay attention to it.
So far, the matter of clearing the tea road has caused widespread influence across the country. Even Mrs. Sun has specially issued a support article. If the matter is messed up at this time, not only Xu Rui will be greatly embarrassed, but even the entire
The Communist Party of China will also be roasted on the fire by the people of the country.
So now, it’s hard to get off the tiger, we can only advance, not retreat!
So Chairman Mao sent an urgent message to Xu Rui, asking him to rush back to Yan'an immediately.
After receiving the report, Xu Rui immediately put down what he was doing, and after four days and nights of rapid marching, he finally returned to Yan'an in the evening of the fifth day.
At this moment, Chairman Mao, Mr. Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou were conducting a three-session trial of Xu Rui.
"Comrade Xu Rui, I must remind you." Vice Chairman Zhou said seriously, "The matter of dredging the Baotou Tea Road has aroused widespread repercussions across the country. Even Mrs. Sun wrote a special article.
We expressed our full support for this, and the Kuomintang and major democratic parties also called us to praise our party for this righteous move."
"Has it already caused such a big impact?" Xu Rui has been immersed in sleep these days. He really didn't know that the tea road incident had caused such a big response. He smiled and said, "So, Chairman Chiang has no idea about this matter.
Are you still quite supportive? Now things are much simpler. I was worried before that Chairman Chiang would let Hu Zongnan obstruct it."
"But you have to know that Chiang Kai-shek has no good intentions at all." Mr. Zhu said earnestly, "Chiang Kai-shek is doing this to put you and the Communist Party of China on the fire! Have you ever thought about how to handle this matter?
If it succeeds, there will be no problem, but if it fails, you and the Chinese Communist Party will be criticized by the people of the whole country."
"It's not that serious." Chairman Mao comforted him. "It's just embarrassing in front of the people of the whole country. However, if you can avoid being embarrassed, it's better not to be embarrassed, right?"
Boss Zhu asked again: "Xiao Xu, just tell me directly, how sure are you of this matter?"
"How sure are you?" Xu Rui chuckled and said, "Boss, let me tell you this. In fact, the current situation includes the support of the Kuomintang and other democratic parties, including Mrs. Sun's special article writing that
The support, as well as the publicity in major newspapers across the country, were all made possible by me secretly!"
"Did you make it happen?" Mr. Zhu asked dumbfounded, "How did you make it happen?"
"A little trick." Xu Rui said happily, "I know that Chairman Chiang does not like me, and no matter what I do that is beneficial to the national war of resistance, he will strongly oppose it, so I can only design a small trap to let
Chairman Chiang thought that I would never be able to clear the tea road, and then he thought of adding insult to injury and putting me on the fire."
"So that's it." Mr. Zhu asked again, "So you are sure?"
"Of course I'm sure." Xu Rui said cheerfully, "I never fight a battle I'm not sure of."
However, Mr. Zhu still felt uneasy and asked: "How sure are you? Is it six points?"
"Are you sixty percent sure?" Xu Rui shook his head and said with a grimace, "I dare not say this."
Mr. Zhu, Chairman Mao and Vice Chairman Zhou were greatly disappointed when they heard this. They were not even sixty percent sure. That is to say, failure and success may be half and half. This is more difficult. It seems that it is necessary to prepare early. Once things fail,
The adverse effects caused by this can be eliminated in advance.
But at this moment, Xu Rui said again: "But I am still very sure."
Chairman Mao, Mr. Zhu and Vice Chairman Zhou were stunned when they heard this.
I dare not say that I am sixty percent sure, but I am still very sure. What the hell kind of logic is this?
In the end, it was Mr. Zhu who reacted first and laughed and scolded: "You little Xu, you dare to play tricks on us!"
"Just a little joke, just a little joke." Xu Rui said with a smile on his face, "Chairman, boss, and Vice Chairman Zhou, you adults don't care about the villain's fault, don't be like me, hey."
Mr. Zhu shook his head and asked again: "Are you really sure?"
"Don't worry, boss!" Xu Rui slapped his chest loudly and said, "This matter is not only beneficial to us in China, but also beneficial and harmless to the Soviets. I can responsibly say that the Soviets are eager for us to dredge tea.
What’s more, the Soviet Red Army’s Far Eastern Front is facing unprecedented difficulties and still needs our help.”
The second half of Xu Rui's sentence is where his real confidence lies. Otherwise, clearing the tea road is certainly good for the Soviet Union, but the Soviets are currently overwhelmed by various affairs and may not have such interest. But if Xu Rui will
It is another matter to connect the dredging of tea roads with assisting the Soviet army in fighting the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Chairman Chiang and his staff just couldn't see this, so they were sure that Xu Rui couldn't clear the tea road.
Chairman Mao was not very sure about this, so he had doubts. Now seeing Xu Rui take the initiative to mention it, Chairman Mao finally showed a smile on his face and asked: "Xiao Xu, you finally got to the point. What did you just say?"
The help you mentioned is probably your greatest confidence, right? However, what I am more curious about is, what kind of help can you provide to the Soviet Red Army?"
Xu Rui asked: "Chairman, what do you think the Soviet Red Army and the Far East Front need most urgently?"
"Of course we need to dredge the Trans-Siberian Railway and restore transportation channels!" Chairman Mao said without hesitation. "Otherwise, the two eastern and western clusters of the Soviet Far Eastern Front will never be able to form a joint force. The supplies from the east will not be transported, and the heavy troop cluster in the west will not be able to do anything.
If it exerts its power, the situation in the Far East Battle will never be reversed."
"However, before the two major clusters of the Soviet Far Eastern Front converge, it is simply impossible to form a joint force, and there is no way to smash the Japanese Chita defense line. If the Chita defense line cannot be smashed, the Siberian Railway transportation line will not be able to be penetrated.
"Xu Rui shook his head and said, "This is a knot that cannot be untied."
"Yes." Chairman Mao said, "It is precisely because of this that the Soviet Far Eastern Front clearly occupies an absolute advantage in strength and weapons, but it has never been able to achieve a decisive victory. And the longer it takes, the worse the situation of the Soviet army will be.
, if the war drags on for a long time, the Eastern Group of the Soviet Far Eastern Front may be in trouble."
Mr. Zhu continued: "Once the entire eastern cluster is destroyed, the entire Far East will fall."
Vice Chairman Zhou also said: "Once the Far East falls into the hands of Japan, Japan will not only be able to obtain the oil in Sakhalin Island, but also be free from the threat of the Soviet Union in the north. From now on, Japan can devote all its resources to deal with China without any distractions. In other words, by then,
China will face a more dangerous situation in the war of resistance than now."
"So, we must provide help to the Soviet Union." Xu Rui said.
"The question is how to help?" Vice Chairman Zhou said, "To be honest, the help we can provide seems to be very limited."
"Otherwise." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "The Western Group of the Soviet Far East Front has a huge armored group. However, due to the insufficient transportation capacity of the West Asian Railway and the bombing of Japanese aviation, the amount of gasoline and diesel that can be transported every day is limited.
There is very little, and it is simply not enough to use, so that the Soviet armored cluster cannot exert its due power. But what if the Soviet army suddenly has sufficient fuel? What will the situation be like?"
