Yang Zhen's words came from the bottom of his heart. After several contacts with General Abana Shenk, he felt that although the commander of the Far East Military Region looked rude on the outside, he was actually a very shrewd person. Yang Zhen
I once heard Vice Chairman Zhou mention that this person had a mountain of complaint letters in Moscow, but his position as commander of the military region was still as stable as a mountain, and he had the trust of Stalin. [.Com text]
Not only that, but his superficial relationship with the top brass of the Soviet army, such as the current People’s Commissar of Defense, Marshal Timoshenko, the Deputy People’s Commissar of Defense, General Shaposhnikov, and the former Deputy People’s Commissar of Defense, Marshal Budyonny, is only superficially related.
Common, but actually very closely related.
But although he is very shrewd, he is a pure soldier. It is precisely when Yang Zhen saw this that he gave words to persuade him. He did not want his old friend to get involved in too many things, so as not to bring serious consequences to Moscow.
My impression is that when the time comes, his ending will not be any better than that of his two predecessors, and for Yang Zhen, who is already familiar with the general's style, he is not willing to change to another opponent.
After saying these words, Yang Zhen, who felt that he had finished speaking, took out a well-made box from his military uniform jacket, took out a medal from it and said: "This is specially designed by our military region to commend those who have served at the battle level."
The first-class Liberation Medal is specially designed for senior commanders who have made outstanding contributions. So far, you are not only the first foreigner to be awarded this medal, but also the first person to be awarded it!"
Yang Zhen put the medal on Abanashenk's chest and said: "Although this medal cannot be compared with the Soviet Union's Gold Star Medal in your eyes, it represents the highest honor of the Anti-Union. I represent the Anti-Union
By awarding this medal to you, we just want to express our high respect for your continued help!”
This medal was decided by Yang Zhen after special discussion with several members of the Standing Committee of the Military Region and the commander-in-chief before his arrival. For General Abanashank, who is in a high position and has been a pure soldier who has been winning over Stalin at all costs,
He would not be tempted by external things such as money. Stalin would not be tempted by a red envelope worth tens of thousands of rubles. No matter how much money he gave, he would not be tempted.
But for this kind of soldier, what they value most is their sense of honor. However, in the Far East, which is thousands of miles away from the battlefield, unless he is transferred to the western region, military honors will not be available to him. After thinking for a long time, Yang Zhen still
It was decided to give him a first-class Liberation Medal, the highest medal established by the military region.
Anyway, this medal was issued by the military region itself. It just represents an honor recognized by the military region. If you leave the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it will be inappropriate for others. It means nothing except fine workmanship.
The practical value of this medal is much worse than the so-called Gold Star Medal awarded to Yang Zhen by the Soviet Union. At least except for Yang Zhen and the Anti-Japanese League, no country in the world recognizes this medal, even the current National Government
and Yan'an, his direct superior.
Yang Zhen's intention in sending this medal was to satisfy the vanity of the comrade general from another aspect, and also as a return gift for the Gold Star Medal awarded to him by the Soviet Union. Although one was in the name of the country, the other was just a gift.
I admit internally that the difference in value is far from the same, but it can be considered a coming and going, right?
What Yang Zhen didn't expect was that after listening to Kovalev's explanation of the significance of this medal in the Jidong Military Region, he showed unusual affection for this exquisitely crafted medal. After touching it for a long time, he said
: "Thank you to the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people for giving me this honor, Comrade Yang Zhen. I will definitely cherish this medal!"
Seeing the way Abana Shenke couldn't put it down, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. He really found out what this guy likes. It seemed that he really didn't send this medal to the wrong person. But after all the words,
Yang Zhen didn't stay long. He simply said goodbye to Abana Shenk and left.
Now that the matter has been negotiated, there is no need for Yang Zhen to stay in the Soviet Union, and General Abanaschenko does not intend to insist on keeping him in the current delicate situation. After a few more
After Tian made final discussions on some minor details of future cooperation between the two parties, Yang Zhen, who was eager to rush back to China, boarded a plane sent by the Soviet Union with tacit understanding.
After the plane back to Luobei took off, Yang Zhen recalled his experience in the Soviet Union and couldn't help but smile slightly. He looked at Kova who was sitting opposite him with a strange smile on his face and was returning on the same plane with him.
Liao Fu couldn't help but feel horrified. This guy was so cunning. He didn't know that he was plotting against the unlucky guy again with this smile.
However, thinking of the experience of this negotiation, Kovalev suddenly remembered something and rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "Comrade Yang Zhen, that medal you gave to General Abana Shenk
It's really beautiful and exquisite. Can you give me one as well? I know you have strict rules for awarding medals. I have no delusions about such high-level medals.
"However, can you also award me a medal, even a third-level Liberation Medal? Comrade Yang Zhen, I wonder if you can satisfy my small request!"
Looking at Kovalev who showed a doggy smile in front of him, Yang Zhen thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, I will report your request to the Northeast Bureau truthfully. Don't worry, we will try our best to do it."
I’ll satisfy your little request, won’t I?”
Yang Zhen was talking about dealing with Kovalev, but in his heart he was thinking that he had completed the preliminary basic and preliminary tactical training in the first three days before his return, and had taken the military specially provided by the Soviet Union in accordance with his requirements.
train, adopting the method of railway transportation, to transport the armored troops who returned home yesterday.
Looking at his watch, Yang Zhen knew that according to the scheduled plan, at this time, these tanks and personnel should have joined the five infantry battalions and vehicles and other arms transferred from Fujin, and headed to Fujin Comprehensive Training Base to fight.
Final preparations for the upcoming synthetic training.
Compared with the armored troops who have returned home, although the aviation troops who went abroad first have completed preliminary basic flight training, they still need to conduct other training for a period of time, and they also have to wait to receive the new fighter jets that will be transported from the United States in two months, and
After completing the flight transition, you will need at least half a year of training before you can return to your country.
This time, after General Abanaschenko expressed his acquiescence to Kovalev's unauthorized decision to replace the engines of the Polish junks handed over to Yang Zhen, the replacement was carried out very quickly. After replacing the engines of the I-Sixteen fighter jets,
After the engine, the performance of these old Polish aircraft has improved significantly.
After replacing the engine, the maximum level flight speed of the P-11 is still not as good as the latest I-Sixteen fighter, but is similar to the most advanced P-24 among all Polish fighters, but its combat performance has exceeded itself.
The I-6 fighter has poor flight stability and is a bit bulky, but it is comparable to the latest I-5 fighter.
After these aircraft have been improved and completed test flights, their basic performance has surpassed the Type 95 fighter jets that the Kwantung Army has begun to phase out. It can be roughly compared with the Kwantung Army's latest Type 97 fighter jets. The difference now is mainly in the number of aircraft and both sides.
In terms of pilot experience, it will take at least two months for these pilots to complete the tactical confrontation drills they have developed.
Thinking that the P-39 fighter jets that will arrive one after another in two months will also require skilled pilots to master, Yang Zhen's brows can't help but frown again. Calculating this, his aviation force will not be able to fly at least for most of this year.
Participation in the war is based on the fact that this batch of American fighter jets can arrive on time according to the current plan. If there is any deviation, it will take a long time to wait until the combat effectiveness of our own air force is formed.
Quickly sorting through the history of World War II that he knew later in his life, Yang Zhen couldn't find any events that were beneficial to him except the Japanese army's attack on Vietnam in late September, but there were a lot of negative events. Today was already five days ago.
On the 15th of September, the French campaign had begun five days ago.
On the already raging battlefield in Western Europe, the rapid defeat of the British and French coalition forces in just one and a half months will affect the delivery of this batch of aircraft. This is first of all an unknown number. When the delivery of this batch of aircraft begins, it is
At the beginning of the British Air War.
Yang Zhen, who still didn't know that these planes were returned by the British, had been wondering about the British's hunger for war supplies in the British skies, especially for fighter jets, after losing all their weapons and equipment in the Western European campaign.
They are extremely thirsty. After these British talents learn that the United States has such a batch of ready goods, will they take it by force and take advantage of the so-called traditional friendship between Britain and the United States to take advantage of this batch of fighter jets?
Yang Zhen now only hopes that the tiger skin of the Soviet Union on his body can scare away Britain, a greedy and incompetent wolf that often adds insult to injury and does not care about the interests of others, from coming to snatch food from his mouth.
If the wheel of history had not changed significantly due to his own arrival, then this year would have been the most severe year for itself and even for China as a whole. The rapid defeat of Britain and France in a short period of time made the Soviets want to move more
As energy turns to the west, all troops and equipment will also be tilted westward, which will greatly weaken some of the constraints on the Japanese army.
In this way, the Japanese army will devote more energy to itself. This will definitely not be good news for him who does not have modern industry. When he thinks that the pressure of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army is about to overwhelm him, this will not be good news for Yang Zhen.
Definitely not good news.
What worries Yang Zhen the most is whether the Soviet Union will completely cut off the enemy because of its defeat on the battlefield in Western Europe, in order to avoid falling into a two-front battle, a situation that he is extremely unwilling to see, and to avoid an all-out conflict with the Japanese army.
supply of own materials, especially military raw materials.
Even if their transactions with the Soviet Union could be kept strictly confidential, the Soviet trucks and Soviet transport planes that appeared on the battlefield could never be hidden from the shrewd Japanese. Once the Japanese adopted dual military and diplomatic pressure on the Soviet Union, the Soviets would not
In order to avoid the risk of fighting on two fronts, they will cut off their subsequent sources of supplies.
Even if Abanaschenko has a good impression of himself and no matter how supportive he is, he is just the executor and cannot make this decision for Moscow. He is very concerned about the extreme egoism of the Soviet people, especially Comrade Stalin, who has always been selfish.
Li, Yang Zhen's character of putting his own interests first is too clear.
And Yang Zhen leaned on the back of the seat with his eyes closed, seemingly resting, but in fact, his mind had been thinking about the possible adverse effects of the war in Western Europe on him, especially now that a new war between himself and the Kwantung Army was imminent.
Next, Yang Zhen definitely doesn’t want to see the consequences of the last transfer of equipment being seized. The harm caused by these two stupid donkeys is not just for them.
