Chapter 113 Zhang Zongchang
War was cruel, especially in bad weather, which was a long-term siege surrounded by big cities, and it was a cruel nightmare hell for both offense and defense. The Battle of Stalingrad during World War II was not so much that the Soviet Union defeated Germany by its will and strength, but rather that the bad weather and logistics dragged down Germany. The National Wehrmacht did not have the same intention to follow the Germans.
Therefore, from the beginning, the Chinese Defense Force did not intend to forcibly attack the Russian Far East in winter, but cut off its Siberian railway line from Baikal, and then was ready within the border line, waiting for the enemy to reveal its flaws.
During the long wait, the news from the enemy's territory became better and better. When the cold winter finally passed, the Russian Far East was indeed as expected, and various problems emerged. The Far East was already waiting for picking like a ripe fruit.
Until now, the Northeast and North Korean Fronts of the National Defense Forces still have no intention of launching a general offensive. Front Commander Deng Ai is waiting in his office to meet someone, who has a great influence on the situation of the National Defense Forces in the Far East, Zhang Zongchang!
Zhang Zongchang, a native of Ye County, Shandong, went to the Northeast to work at the end of the last century and moved to the Vladivostok area of the Far East. He did not return to China until the Wuchang Uprising and participated in the Shanghai Liberation Uprising. Later, he became a battalion official in the Second Army adapted from the Shanghai Liberation Army as the main force.
However, now, his organization no longer belongs to the Second Army. He is now a member of the Special Operations Team directly under the Front Army. Since last year, he has been active in the Russian Far East with radio stations and various materials urgently needed by the Russians, and has carried out some special tasks with the members of the Special Operations Team.
Deng Ai is waiting for the news he brings.
While waiting, the door was banging twice, "Report!" The person was full of energy.
"Come in!" Deng Ai replied.
Then, as soon as the door opened, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Deng Ai, with a rough face and a small mustache unique to Russia. Although he had changed into the military uniform of the National Defense Force, his banditry spirit could not be concealed. He really didn't look like a soldier of the National Defense Force, but a good material for being a spy, Deng Ai thought.
"Come on, sit down and tell me the specific situation!" Deng Ai signaled the seat opposite,
Zhang Zongchang was so big that he was shaking left and right, and found a seat to sit down in a detention. It could be seen that he had no experience in dealing with a high-ranking official like Deng Ai.
"Well, things went well!" Zhang Zongchang sat down and spoke, "I have already linked up with the resistance organizations in Vladivostok. According to them, in several major cities in the Far East, the Russians are in a very bad situation and are basically facing a collapse. As long as we promise to treat most of the prisoners of the lower-level military and civilians, and can find opportunities to get them back to their motherland in the future, they are willing to cooperate with us, cooperate with us internally to launch an uprising, and give the Far East to us later."
Deng Ai was shocked. He originally thought of using this based on historical situations, but he really didn't expect the result to be so exaggerated. At this time, Russia's Siberia and the Far East were the places where Russia sent prisoners and also a paradise for the rebellion organizations. The expeditionary force thought of using this, but he didn't expect that the other party's conditions were so generous!
Although those who resisted the Russian organization are all at the bottom, they have lived in the Far East for so long, and they have no feelings at all? They can leave as soon as they say they want, and they sell their country so simply and neatly. It really has a long historical tradition!
"Good job! Major Zhang! You have made great contributions to the country!" Deng Ai first encouraged Zhang Zongchang a few times, and then continued to ask: "But these are their conditions? Didn't they propose any future cooperation or other things? For example, we need to propose funds for activity, firearms, etc."
Zhang Zongchang pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"No, they seem to be very serious about what happened after returning to China and are eager to go home. As for other cooperation, to be honest, sir! I don't think they have such a strategic vision. Nowadays, Russian Far East cities are like powder kegs, and they may explode at any time! The conditions for the living and working of the lower-level military and civilians are extremely harsh, and they are all eager to get rid of this predicament. We promised to treat them with prisoners, which made them overjoyed. Legend has it that our National Defense Forces are all demons who kill people without blinking and don't let the elderly, weak, women and children go! Haha!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Zongchang burst out his mouth and laughed silly. This guy is really the heartless and stupid person of a Russian. No wonder he could have had such a good situation in Vladivostok back then.
"Oh! This is really young!" Deng Ai's fingers knocked on the table, making a sound of thumping sounds, thinking in his heart: The people in the resistance organization now don't know how to sell the country! They are far from the powerful appearance of later generations. This is not possible. There are many future big figures in the Far East and Siberia. We can't just let them go for no reason. These people are all strange goods in the General Staff Department now!
I raised my eyes and looked at Zhang Zongchang. This guy was easily trusted by those people. Should I put this guy in Europe too?
However, when it comes to the intelligence field in Europe, it overlaps with the departments under Zuo Ci. In this situation, I suddenly remembered Zuo Ci, and even Deng Ai couldn't help but shivered. He was really a terrifying figure of the same era. Young people like Deng Ai still couldn't afford to offend him.
"This is how it goes! After you go back, agree to their conditions, meet their requirements, try to do everything well and show our sincerity. It is best to gain their trust through your personal efforts! This Far East attack is not the focus! What is important is to finally reach an intention to continue cooperation with them in the future!
You can hint them that we support their justice and great cause, and can provide them with free supplies and guns, and all kinds of conveniences, and you can continue to use these to gain their trust!”
What? Zhang Zongchang was a little confused.
"But, those Russians are all ruthless guys. No matter how good you are to them, they will never remember their future!" Zhang Zongchang was a little anxious.
Deng Ai waved his hand,
"You don't have to worry about these things. Just finish the work we have assigned you to do. When you are free, think carefully about why we want you to do this. In the future, it is very likely that you will have to make a living by relying on this!"
