Glorious Mission 1937

Chen Feng's words stunned Lao Jiang. Although Chen Feng didn't say it clearly, he revealed a message inside and outside the words, that is, he wanted to withdraw his troops from Henan, and he wanted to hand over all the Zhengzhou, Anyang, Xinxiang and other places he currently occupied. Give it to the first war zone, but Kang Zang doesn't want to hand it over to Jiang Dingwen.

"In my solemn opinion, how should this land in the Central Plains of Henan be guarded, and who should be guarded, can't Jiang Dingwen do it?" Old Jiang asked with squinted eyes.

Old Jiang was very dissatisfied with Chen Feng giving Jiang Dingwen titles such as "wine bag and rice bag" and "long-legged general" many times. Jiang Dingwen's performance in this battle was indeed disappointing, but in Lao Jiang's heart Jiang Dingwen was a A very capable fighter.Jiang Dingwen's hometown and Lao Jiang's hometown are not far away. The two families have the same surname, and they are both rich local families, so Lao Jiang has always regarded Jiang Dingwen as his right-hand man.

Chen Feng couldn't understand what Lao Jiang meant. He smiled and said, "I won't talk about how to defend Henan. The party and the state have so many pillar generals. They will make a reasonable plan for the committee. As for letting It is useless to say who will guard me, I have to decide for myself. But this Jiang Dingwen is definitely not a person who can be reused!"

Although Chen Feng knew what Lao Jiang wanted to hear, after all, Jiang Dingwen had been with Lao Jiang since 1924. Before joining Lao Jiang, this Jiang Dingwen was the colonel's staff officer of the Generalissimo's Headquarters, and he was a fat man!But he resolutely abandoned the fat vacancies in the military depot, dropped four ranks in a row, became the captain of the second student team of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and then served as a captain military instructor, and then began to serve in the Jiang Dynasty. It's been a few years.

"Why can't it be reused? Although Mingsan (Jiang Dingwen's word) did have the problem of poor command in this battle, he is still a very good brave general. I think that during the Northern Expedition, the Eastern Expeditionary Army and Chen Jiongming's troops fought fiercely in Mianhu Lake When Ming San bravely charged the enemy, he was injured in the chest and was carried out from the dead body by the orderly. He survived after being rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment."

"In the 16th year of the Republic of China, the National Revolutionary Army crossed the river to pursue Sun Chuanfang and was frustrated in Fengyang. The troops going north were oppressed by Zhang Zongchang and Sun Chuanfang's coalition forces, and retreated one after another. After paying attention, the enemy suddenly led the main force to leave, and turned to attack Bengbu, stabilizing the overall front. During the Central Plains War, the Ming Sanbu ran on the Longhai, Jinpu lines and the middle area, moving quickly and erratically. It is called Fei General. It can be seen that Ming San still has a certain level of command." Lao Jiang said.

Chen Feng smiled disdainfully and said: "A typical civil war insider and outsider. Although Jiang Dingwen is the confidant of the committee, I still have to say some things. As an army and division commander, Jiang Dingwen Compared with others at the same time, he is good at mobile warfare. He is proficient in the movement and formation of troops in front of the enemy, and has rich experience in attack operations, which can be regarded as "excellent". "

Then the voice changed, and Chen Feng said: "But this person's talent is limited to this, if there is more, he will not be able to command. What's more serious is that this person is addicted to gambling, greedy for money, and lustful, and these things are very important to me. The corruption of a soldier is extremely terrifying. Saibei is close to Shaanxi. I also heard about some things about Jiang Dingwen when he was in Shaanxi.

"The amount of private property that Jiang Dingwen accumulated through corruption, bribery, and business speculation is huge. Although he has one wife and two concubines, he also forcibly seized the famous Xi'an Peking Opera actress Fen Mudan. When our army and the Japanese army confronted Zhengzhou, some of them were seized in the outskirts of Zhengzhou." In the propaganda poster of the Japanese army, the main character in this painting is our Commander Jiang, holding a beautiful woman in one hand and banknotes in the other, it is really vividly portrayed."

"Commissioner, you are also a military officer. You should understand that officers are the role models of the army. If the top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked, with a commander like Jiang Dingwen, I don't think the troops in the first theater can be defeated by the Japanese army in such a short period of time. Not surprised."

What Chen Feng said was justified and well-founded, and Lao Jiang's face turned red and green. Although Lao Jiang was very dissatisfied with Chen Feng's straightforward words, he hated Jiang Dingwen who caused him trouble even more.

And what Chen Feng said just now touched him a lot. It was indeed the case. Wei Lihuang guarded Henan, even though Henan had only 3 troops at that time, it was still as firm as a rock.But less than 30 months after Jiang Dingwen was replaced, the first war zone with nearly [-] troops lost half of its troops. If Chen Feng hadn't taken action, even Zhengzhou's old nest might have been lost. This is really unbelievable.

"Well, solemnly, I will handle Mingsan's matter personally, but I still want to ask, in your opinion, who is the most suitable to guard Henan?"

"You really want me to tell you?"

"That's fake!"

"Xue Yue and Wei Lihuang, just choose one of the two! General Xue Yue's ability is right there, the number one fighter in the party and country, he must have no problem defending Henan. Wei Lihuang is also a very good candidate, General Wei has combat experience He is rich and has a high level of command, and more importantly, he is very familiar with the terrain of Henan, and has a good relationship with the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army. .

Lao Jiang thought for a while and said, "Forget about Xue Yue. The Ninth War Zone cannot do without him. You are right. Wei Lihuang is indeed a rare general. I will transfer him back to Henan as soon as possible."

"That's the best thing. As long as General Wei believes that the first theater is capable of protecting itself, then the troops in the eighth theater will immediately withdraw to southern Hebei." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Serious and profound righteousness"

Faced with a lot of high hats from Lao Jiang, Chen Feng really couldn't stand it, so he said: "Commissioner, there is one more thing I need to report to you for instructions!"

"Oh, what's the matter?" Lao Jiang asked.

"Stalin of the Soviet Union invited me to Moscow for a meeting two days ago, saying that he had something to discuss, and I already agreed to him!" Chen Feng replied.

"Stalin? What is he going to do?" Lao Jiang asked, frowning. [

"How much does the committee know about the Soviet-German war?"

"I heard that the Germans are progressing smoothly, and the Soviet Union suffered heavy losses. Why, the Soviets can't hold back so quickly?"

"That's not enough. After all, the Soviet Union is the third largest country in the world, and the Soviet Union is different from Britain and France. The territory of the Soviet Union is connected together, and the depth is much larger than that of Britain and France. Although the Soviet Union has The loss is extremely heavy, but it will not be defeated so quickly."

"But now the German army has arrived in Moscow, which has threatened the foundation and core of the Soviet Union. Besides, it is only June, and it will take five to six months before the natural environment that is relatively favorable to the Soviet Union. Only in the severe cold and harsh Only when the weather is bad can the Soviets have a chance to make a comeback, but unfortunately the Soviets may not be able to wait for that time, so they can't wait to invite me to Moscow, hoping to get some assistance from me!" Chen Feng said.

"Then you agreed?"

"Why not agree, this is a good opportunity for us in China, isn't it?"

"I think what the Soviet Union needs is not just the weapons and equipment of a few divisions. Presumably they need a lot. Can you meet their needs?"

"What Stalin needed was not just the weapons and equipment of a few divisions, but the weapons and equipment of dozens or even hundreds of divisions. In addition, he also needed a large number of tanks and artillery. I can meet their needs. I have Its own arsenal. Compared with the committee, I know about it. Up to now, it has provided weapons and equipment for 130 divisions in Britain and France, and the weapons in stock can still equip hundreds of divisions." Chen Feng replied.

"Solemn, have you ever thought about it, although selling weapons and equipment to the Soviet Union can get huge economic benefits. But you also know the domestic situation, many of our troops are still using outdated equipment such as old sleeves made in Hanyang, If this matter is reported by the newspapers, it will definitely cause an uproar, and it will greatly damage your image and reputation!" Lao Jiang said with a frown.

"Commissioner, the sale of weapons to the Soviet Union is not for economic interests, but for political interests."

"What political interests?" Lao Jiang asked hastily.

"The Soviet Union wanted to obtain a large amount of weapons and equipment from me. What they paid was not only real money, but also a condition that they agreed to me. Returning all the land that has been occupied by China for more than a hundred years is the premise. There is no reason for this." The premise is that the Soviets don’t want to get a gun from me.” Chen Feng smiled coldly.

With a "wow", Lao Jiang suddenly stood up.Staring at Chen Feng with both eyes, he asked excitedly: "Solemn, is what you said true?"

"of course it's true!"

"Will the Soviets agree?"

"Compared to the subjugation of the country and the extermination of the species, a mere piece of land is nothing. Besides, these lands belong to China. Lenin once advocated returning them to China when he was alive." Chen Feng said.

"So you're going to Moscow this time to negotiate with Stalin?"

"Yes, so I want to ask for the opinion of the committee. After all, if this negotiation is successful, it will not only add millions of square kilometers of land, but also give the Western powers a head start. This will abolish all the unequal treaties of the big powers in China. An excellent opportunity!" Chen Feng said,

"Will this cause dissatisfaction in the United States, Britain and other countries? Now the party-state still needs to rely on them!" Lao Jiang asked worriedly.

"There will definitely be dissatisfaction, but not necessarily relying on it. Now that the US and Japan are about to go to war, they need us to beg us. It will be even harder to mention it if they don't mention it at this time."

"It's justified to be solemn. You go to Moscow this time as the vice chairman of the Party Committee. I will let Wang Liangchou go with you. I know you don't like this vice chairman either. Long title, but it involves such a big national issue, if there is no identity recognized by all parties, even if it succeeds now, it will be poor in the future." Lao Jiang said.

What Lao Jiang said was exactly what Chen Feng was worried about. Although he was very powerful, he could not represent the "government" and the country. Even if the Soviet Union was compromised now, it would be difficult for the Soviet Union to use Chen Feng's identity as an issue in the future. In the end, it would not admit it Agreement between the two parties, these are very likely.

But Lao Jiang is really generous this time, vice chairman, this is the number two figure in the military system of the national government, and this is also the first vice chairman of the national government in the past ten years. Chu Lao Jiang attached great importance to this negotiation.
