Seeing the two old commanders looking at him with strange expressions, Yang Zhen did not explain anything. For him, how to make the military literacy of the troops, especially the commanders at all levels, in line with the current equipment and combat modes?
is the most important thing. Using the enemy as his teacher is not something too embarrassing for him.
Just when the two old coaches, who had been puzzled by the answer, saw that the hands on the Swiss watches given by Yang Zhen on their wrists were pointing to two o'clock in the middle of the night, they were about to leave. However, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "
Don't worry, two old chiefs, I think Ryabyshev will be back soon."
"Since it's already this time, we might as well wait for a while and save the hassle of going back and forth. As long as we can sign the agreement today, we can all have a good night's sleep. I estimate that at most three o'clock,
That lieutenant general who was scared out of his wits by that old man in Moscow will come back to us."
"I'm afraid that after being scolded again, he doesn't dare to procrastinate any longer. For him, he doesn't care whether the time is suitable. What he is most worried about is whether he will go to a military court when he returns to Moscow.
Stay up for a while, I won’t be able to sleep at this time anyway.”
Before Yang Zhen could finish his words, Yuan Zhiruo, who had been accompanying him outside the conference room, walked in. He reported to Yang Zhen that the Soviet delegation that had just left returned again and asked Yang Zhen to meet him immediately. After hearing Yuan Zhiruo's report, Yang Zhiruo
Zhen stretched his neck with one end of his hand and made a face as expected to the two veterans.
When Lieutenant General Ryabyshev, who looked extremely pale and had purple lips, entered the conference room, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Comrade Ryabyshev" compared to him who was a little nervous.
, I really didn’t expect that we would meet again so soon, but what happened to you? How did you end up like this after not seeing each other for such a short period of time?”
"Our Chinese medicine has a saying that the heart governs the blood, and its beauty lies in the face. Judging from your bad complexion, is there something wrong with your heart? Why don't you let our doctor check you out? You are young,
Now is the time to make great achievements. And the great Soviet Union is in troubled times right now. It is not a good thing for you to get this disease. If you have something bad, it will be a huge loss to the Soviet Union and the great Soviet Red Army."
Yang Zhen's ridiculing words made Li Yanping, who temporarily acted as translator, somewhat hesitant when translating. Fortunately, he was a lieutenant general. Although he had just suffered a major defeat, he was a senior general of the Soviet army after all. You know that
His expression turned like this because he was scolded and still asked questions knowingly. Even if you despise others, you can't tease them like this.
But the two old commanders on one side had a rare smile on their lips. They really thought that Yang Zhen was young and mature, but they didn't expect that the guy in front of them who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops at a young age also had such a narrow-minded side.
.On such a serious matter, you still have the heart to joke.
However, Yang Zhen's joke also completely relieved the two old coaches who had not been relieved because of his previous assurance that he would definitely solve the winter clothing problem before the freezing weather. Although the contact time was not long,
Both of them knew that Yang Zhen was definitely not the kind of person who couldn't distinguish between priorities.
At this time, he was able to make some harmless jokes, which showed that he was really confident. With this, the two old coaches had been completely relieved for the past few days. As long as they could put on their winter clothes before the freezing weather
The problem has been completely solved. For the two veterans, other things come second.
In fact, neither Li Yanping nor the two veterans knew it, although they were quite sure of the answer. But it only took an hour for the matter to be finally settled, and Yang Zhen felt extremely nervous. After all, this relationship
Whether my plans for the future can be realized, and whether the Anti-Japanese War and the March Army's hundreds of thousands of winter clothing can be solved on time.
It is almost the same when it comes to life, death and development. In this cold northern Manchuria, what future would there be if the troops in winter uniforms were not frozen to death? Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Without the support of the barrel of a gun, there is nothing.
What about future development and growth? Is it possible to say that Yang Zhen is really not nervous at all mentally?
Yang Zhen seems to be very relaxed on the surface these days, but in fact he is really relaxed. This time he took the opportunity to make a little joke, and he also wanted to relieve his relaxed mood on the outside, but he was quite nervous on the inside.
At least until the problem is settled, let your tense nerves relax and don't get too tense.
At the same time, he kept warning himself in his heart that even if the development of things was based on his own imagination and judgment, he would not be able to relax in the slightest when dealing with these difficult and greedy Soviets. After the agreement was signed this time, it was no longer possible.
It does not mean to solve the problem once and for all. This is just the beginning, and frequent frictions are still to come in the future.
In contrast to Yang Zhen, who pretended to be very relaxed on the surface, and everyone here, Ryabyshev opposite was not in such a mood, and was joking with him at this time. Perhaps it was his first time as a negotiator, the lieutenant general
Since arriving in Harbin, this nerve has been quite tense.
Before coming here again, he must have had an unpleasant experience, which made him very nervous. Now he was even more nervous. The lieutenant general said directly: "Comrade Yang Zhen, after careful consideration
After considering it, we decided to accept all your opinions and requests."
"We have now prepared all the texts in accordance with your requirements. If you think it is OK, we can sign all the agreements now. In view of your current urgent needs, the Soviet Union has decided to sign as quickly as possible and fulfill this agreement
protocol."
"Marshal Shaposhnikov also repeatedly confessed that if the Chinese comrades have other demands, as long as they do not affect the current war of the Soviet people against the German army, I can make the final decision, and Moscow will recognize it afterwards.
The Soviet government and people also value credibility."
"In addition, Marshal Shaposhnikov, Chief of General Staff of the Soviet Army, and General Yakovlev, Minister of General Ordnance, asked me to formally extend an invitation to you on their behalf. I hope you can visit Moscow when you think it is appropriate. Or in
If conditions permit, we will meet in a certain area of the Soviet Union. This is also the opinion of Deputy People's Commissar of Defense, Marshal Timoshenko."
"And they are looking forward to your visit very much. They guarantee that you will be treated like a distinguished guest in the Soviet Union. They also ask you to be absolutely assured that all your actions in the Soviet Union will be safe and free. In order to
Regarding this matter, Marshal Timoshenko and General Zhukov specially sent telegrams from the front line."
"At the same time, Marshal Shaposhnikov asked me to tell you that I hope this unpleasant incident will not happen again. If anything happens, we can solve it through discussion. Any confrontation is useless for solving the problem. The Soviet people and the Soviet Union
The Red Army and the Anti-Japanese Alliance should be the best and closest friends, and such unpleasant things should not happen."
After hearing what Lieutenant General Ryabyshev said, Yang Zhen did not answer him immediately. Instead, after pondering for a long time, he proposed to establish a system based on the annual changes in the quantity and type of U.S. aid supplies and equipment during the entire war.
, a mechanism for mutual negotiation between the two militaries so that both parties can adjust their material distribution plans according to their different needs.
At the same time, the Soviet Union was required to put the promised equipment, drawings and technology, as well as the required technical and engineering personnel, in place in the shortest possible time. If the Soviet Union allowed it, the Anti-Japanese Alliance hoped that the Soviet Pacific Fleet could assist the Anti-Japanese Alliance and train a group of
An aviation unit that can carry out long-range bombing across seas.
And provide two bases that they think are suitable to assist the Anti-League in conducting long-distance sea-crossing flight training. Of course, the training bases will be selected by the Soviet Union in areas that they think are suitable. In terms of base selection, the Anti-League must not only meet the requirements of long-distance sea-crossing
Apart from the requirement of flying, there are no other requirements.
The Anti-Japanese Alliance will also transfer the equipment agreed to be transferred to the Soviet Union to the Far East Military Region within the shortest possible time. The Anti-Japanese Alliance will also, in accordance with its own production capacity and meet its own needs, if the Soviet Union requests it.
Increase the supply quantity of some equipment as appropriate.
Regarding the additional requests made by Yang Zhen, Ryabyshev was much more cheerful this time. Without thinking about it, he nodded in agreement. Both parties were anxious to solve the problem as soon as possible and did not change places.
The text of the agreement was drafted on the spot. Li Yanping and Ryabyshev, as representatives of both parties, completed all formalities including signing on the spot.
Compared with the previous slowness, the efficiency this time was amazing. From the time the Soviet delegation stepped into the conference room again to the completion of all the procedures, the total time was less than an hour. After completing the agreement, Yang Zhen did not
Ryabyshev, who was in a hurry to return, was left without even a glass of water.
As for the invitations from Marshal Shaposhnikov and General Yakovlev to Yang Zhen’s visit to Moscow, Yang Zhen did not give any reply, as if he had not heard the invitation. Although Ryabyshev
Before leaving, the lieutenant general sent out invitations again and again, but Yang Zhen still did not give any reply.
In fact, Yang Zhen didn't believe that it was Marshal Shaposhnikov who sent the invitation this time. He knew very well who really invited him this time. Although Marshal Shaposhnikov had outstanding abilities,
He was the pioneer of the Soviet Army's staff work and the person who laid the foundation for the Soviet Army's staff work.
But facing the extremely strong old man in Moscow who Yang Zhen said, his character seemed too soft. He would not bring up many things in person, and could only take some roundabout ways to solve them. Even if he had the intention, he would not
Such a request will be made at this time.
This invitation should have been made by the arbitrary old man in Moscow. It was only made through the mouths of Marshal Shaposhnikov and General Yakovlev. Inviting him personally is not because he thinks Yang Zhen is not qualified. I'm afraid
I am afraid that it will affect my reputation internationally.
As for Timoshenko and Zhukov, these two have been overwhelmed by the almost uncontrollable situation on the front line. How can they have the time and energy to take care of things in the Far East now? Especially General Zhukov, who is currently cleaning up the West
The front army was in such a mess that they were making final preparations to defend Moscow, and they had no energy to meddle in such noisy matters.
The purpose of recruiting these two people was just to show sincerity. Although the Soviet Union was very sincere, at least on the surface. But how could Yang Zhen dare to visit the Soviet Union at this time? It would not be like sending him to his door as a hostage.
Or put his neck under the knife of the Soviets? Let alone Shaposhnikov and Yakovlev who came forward, even if the fatherly leader really came forward in person, he would not go.
