w Pearson analyzed this situation in detail in the telegram. In his opinion, this situation may not be unclear to the Soviets who have long-term liaison personnel in this army. At least one of his own agents is missing.
The Soviets would not be aware of it at all. Even if they did it very secretly, the Soviets, who have always had a keen sense of smell, should still be able to find clues.
Perhaps they did this because they did not trust the Soviets, or perhaps they did not want to be controlled by the Soviets. It was more likely to appease the people in Manchuria who had previously been repelled or even strongly disliked the Russians in the past and the Soviets in the present.

Just why the Soviets, while only maintaining superficial harmony, were still providing them with the raw materials they needed to develop their military industry at preferential prices. Last year, they even assisted them in importing a batch of new fighter jets from the United States through loans.
It also trained a group of pilots and armored technicians for them, but it is unknown.
However, on this point, Pearson and Yang Zhen have very similar ideas. The only difference is that one believes that one must have strength even if he is begging for food, while the other believes that under the increasing threat of the Soviets on the western border, in order to be able to
We are planning to build a strong reserve team in the Far East, but would rather spend a small amount of money to buy Ping An. The latest novel Baidu search ""
In fact, in Major Pearson's view, the equipment obtained in Poland provided by the Soviets to the Anti-Japanese Alliance was almost a costless transaction. Providing this batch of useless equipment to the Anti-Japanese Alliance not only
He only earned a loan, gained a good reputation, and established a powerful enemy for the Japanese army. But he only paid a freight fee.
In Pearson's view, the two sides were actually just using each other. The Soviets paid, at least in their view, a small price in exchange for a safe eastern border. This would at least provide them with peace of mind on the European battlefield in the future.
Come to a stable rear. For this team, this only neighbor is its only bridge to the outside world.
It's just that in Pearson's view, maybe the real relationship between the two parties is more complicated than he imagined, and the specific situation requires long-term observation. But in any case, among the so-called lifelines of the Japanese army in Manchuria and Mongolia, there is a force that is determined to fight against Japan.
, and the combat effectiveness is also quite strong. The most important thing is that it is not as close to the Soviets as we imagined.
Although this army received considerable assistance from the Soviet army, its leaders have always maintained their own combat style. Compared with the Soviet army, this army has a more flexible organization and pays more attention to its own combat style. Its firepower
The configuration is also obviously more reasonable. The most important thing is that this army has never been controlled by the Soviet Union.
In addition to a detailed analysis of the relationship between Yang Zhen's command and the Soviet Union, Pearson also explained in the telegram his views on this army that has repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army. In his opinion, this army has great value from top to bottom.
They were full of extreme hostility towards the Japanese army. Perhaps this was related to most of their personal experiences.
Their senior officers either fought hard in the mountains and forests for many years after the fall of Manchuria, or were subjected to unusual torture by the Japanese in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps. Many of their middle- and low-level officers were laborers of the Japanese army.
Those who suffered abuse from the Japanese army in the camp.
For these reasons, and the fact that the Japanese army is currently aggressively invading mainland China, this unit is extremely determined to fight against Japan. And although their various trainings have their own strong styles, most of them are obvious and are specifically aimed at the weaknesses of the Japanese army.
It was designed. Even the organization of its weapons and equipment was specially designed for the Japanese army's weapon configuration.
The most important thing is that this army cannot see any possibility of compromise with the Japanese army. It will not surrender to their powerful opponents who have occupied most of China in two years. This army has a tenacious fighting will and a strong combat effectiveness.
Its strength and superb combat skills far exceed that of most armies in the world.
Not only is it far higher than their government forces, it even surpasses their immediate neighbors, and is almost the same as their opponents. Although it still seems a bit immature in terms of tactics, it surpasses its opponents in flexibility.
Even compared with the British Empire's army, except for equipment factors and having a huge navy and air force that it does not have, the rest is far from it. Especially in terms of combat effectiveness, which mainly reflects combat will and tactical application, the British Empire Army
It lags far behind this army.
It is precisely for this reason that Major Pearson suggested that the White House give this army maximum support, at least to enable it to maintain its independent military supply capabilities in the event that the Soviet Union cuts off its external channels, so as to enhance its capabilities.
Their ability to fight back restrained the Japanese army from Manchuria and greatly reduced the threat posed by the Japanese army to U.S. interests.
It should be said that Major Pearson's sense of smell should be very sensitive. He suggested that the United States support this army to a certain extent and enhance its own hematopoietic ability, so that the United States can obtain a strong ally to support the possible future war against Japan.
.And share the strong military pressure brought by the Japanese Empire to the United States.
In addition to sending this telegram to the U.S. War Department, which was later said to have prompted the United States to make the most correct but also the biggest wrong decision in World War II, Pearson also made an unedited account of the battle.
The original film documentary about the battlefield also returned to Chongqing along with representatives of several American pharmaceutical companies. A special plane was then used to send it back to the United States in the shortest possible time.
Compared with the experience of hiding in the cabin for several days without getting off the plane when they arrived, the American delegation, which had been exposed now, returned in an upright manner. Not only did they not have to be as sneaky as when they arrived, in the Soviet Union
When resting in the Soviet Union, they did not even dare to get off the plane to avoid exposing their whereabouts. In order to shorten the time in the Soviet Union, the plane did not take any rest except landing for refueling.
Moreover, they boarded a Soviet civil airliner chartered by the U.S. Embassy in the Soviet Union and returned directly to Chongqing via Outer Mongolia. On the way, the Soviet army not only agreed that the plane would pass through Outer Mongolia, which had always prohibited foreigners from entering, but even sent troops to
Fighters were specially designed to escort it all the way to the border between Outer Mongolia and mainland China.
The Soviets didn't know what they were thinking. They once suggested to Li Yanping, who was left behind to preside over the work in the military region, that Americans should go to the Soviet Union and then take a train back to the country via Moscow to avoid the Nationalist government and speed up the journey. However, after careful consideration, Li Yanping decided to
After consulting the Americans for their opinions, for the sake of safety, we decided to return directly to Chongqing.
Facing the kindness of the Soviets, Yang Zhen felt a little complicated. The generosity of the Soviets this time was somewhat intriguing for their character. Not only did he learn that some Americans flew to the base area through Soviet airspace without permission,
There was no abnormality or any protest. On the way back, the light was green all the way.
It even generously allowed materials arriving from the United States to use its important military bases that have always been prohibited to foreigners, and the main port of its Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok. It also specially used the Soviet Far East, which is still in the base area.
Major General Grigorenko, chief of staff of the military region, told the commander-in-chief that the Soviet Union has decided to waive transit fees for all military supplies arriving from the United States to the base area from now on. Transit fees for other supplies will also be charged at one-third of the Soviet practice.
Facing the good intentions of the Soviets, Yang Zhen felt a little uneasy. Yang Zhen still had a certain understanding of the character of the Soviets, especially their leader. Facing such generosity of the Soviet army, in Yang Zhen's opinion, it was
Something was not normal. Yang Zhen couldn't figure out whether the Soviets were trying to show their goodwill to the United States or whether they had other agendas.
But Yang Zhen knew that the Soviets' generosity this time would never be without purpose. Just like what Major General Grigorenko said all day long, it was to support the Chinese people's anti-Japanese struggle. For the Soviets, taking advantage of the situation was the only way to rob them.
This is their traditional habit.
Although most people in the Northeast Bureau disagreed with Yang Zhen's views, the subsequent development did not exceed the expectations of Yang Zhen, who knew the Soviet Union and their leader's character very well.
Just after Yang Zhen accompanied Major Pearson on the flight back to Jiamusi at Dongning Airport, his buttocks were still hot. Major General Grigorenko, who had been staying in the base area, came to the door after receiving the domestic notification.
After the uninvited Major General Grigorenko found Yang Zhen, he directly asked to share all the military technology aided by the United States to the Anti-Japanese War, especially aviation technology. And all the military equipment that the Americans transported to the base area,
Soviet experts must be involved during installation and operation.
There were also some machines and equipment that the Soviet Union urgently needed, but the Americans had banned exports to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union hoped that Yang Zhen could transfer some of them to the Soviet Union. In order to make up for these losses of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Soviet Union would provide this batch of machinery and equipment to the Anti-Japanese War according to the purpose of the Anti-Japanese War.
The Alliance provided a batch of substitutes and agreed to sell a batch of the latest military technology to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
And help the Anti-Japanese Alliance to build an aircraft manufacturing plant, and transfer all the technology of the latest Soviet MiG-3 fighter jets that the Anti-Japanese Alliance had always hoped to purchase before. But for Yang Zhen, he hoped to obtain the Yak-1 fighter jets and the Pi-2 fighter jets more.
Regarding bombers, the Soviet Union, as always, did not recognize the existence of these two new aircraft. It only agreed to sell SB II bomber technology to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Although Yang Zhen was surprised by the Soviet Union's request, he was slightly relieved. Compared with the Soviet Union's disguised idea of stealing American industrial technology, he was more worried about the Soviet Union's attempt to contain itself and the Americans.
contact and refuse to use the Far Eastern Railway and ports.
At the same time, the Soviet Union agreed that the Americans could use the Soviet Union's largest port in the Far East, its most important military base, Vladivostok, and the Soviet Far East Railway for transit when transporting supplies to aid the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
When collecting transit fees, preferential prices can be provided.
As long as the Soviets don't embarrass themselves in terms of transportation, Yang Zhen will not object to the Soviets' idea of obtaining the latest American military technology from themselves without paying any price, and besides, he doesn't want to object. He knows better.
I am powerless to object now.
Yang Zhen knew very well that if he opposed or did not accept the Soviet Union's so-called suggestions, the Soviets, who were extremely vindictive, could cut off his external channels at any time. Without external channels, he would become a caged animal.
Although Yang Zhen was disgusted with the Soviets' taking advantage of the situation, Yang Zhen finally partially agreed to the Soviets' suggestions.m
