China is too big. Even though most of the country is now occupied, the democratic parties that have joined the coalition government are actually far weaker than their ability to shout slogans. Therefore, even if Ouyang Yun does not trust the former Government officials of the Republic of China had to delegate power on some matters. Moreover, Song Ziwen had some abilities and was a man of action. Therefore, Ouyang Yun was relatively at ease with him. Of course, there was no small matter in diplomacy, and de Gaulle was on this trip. , they came for military assistance, but when it came to the military, it had to be decided by the headquarters. So after listening to Song Ziwen's answer, De Gaulle could only smile bitterly, and then he could only proceed step by step according to the schedule given by the other party. Otherwise, he can't say that I'm here to ask for military assistance. Do you have the right to make military decisions? If you ask for help, you have to show the attitude of asking for help. Who can say that your own army is not up to expectations?
It has been a few days since the British government delegation and the Soviet military delegation came to Chongqing before de Gaulle, and Ouyang Yun has not seen them for a long time. This is not because he is trying to be arrogant, but because he really does not have time. He had expected that the naval battle in the Timor Sea would achieve victory. Victory, but I didn’t expect it to be a complete victory. Winning on the battlefield is naturally a good thing, but it also brings adverse effects. The most obvious thing is that the Chinese people’s expectations for the Xuebing Army are getting higher and higher, and they require the government to take the initiative. The clamor for regaining the lost territory became louder and louder. In addition to the celebrations, various social groups submitted petitions every day, asking the government to launch a counterattack. This actually put considerable pressure on the headquarters. The reorganization of the troops did not happen overnight. Moreover, there is a strong warlord color in the Central Army, and this will be the biggest hidden danger that affects the sincere unity of the frontline troops. If this color is not transformed, Ouyang Yun really dare not let him go to the front line. Otherwise, he will not be allowed to go to the front line again. If they fight independently, the loss of troops is not a big deal, but the war will be lost as a result, but the blow to the prestige of the coalition government and the headquarters will be fatal.
How to speed up the reorganization and how to turn the former Central Army into a reliable military force is still the biggest problem that troubles Ouyang Yun at this stage. To this end, he often convened meetings with Chen Cheng, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, Deng Xihou and others. And they were at a loss as to what to do and had no particularly good ideas.
In desperation, Ouyang Yun had no choice but to adopt a compromise method, asking Shaoshuai Zhang and Dan Renxiong to continue their efforts to regain the entire territory of Jiangsu and Anhui on the basis of capturing Nanjing. His plan was to wait until after regaining Anhui and Jiangsu. Forming a three-sided encirclement against the Ananwei troops of the Japanese Army in Hubei, and then dispatching the adapted Central Army to launch an attack from Hunan to Hubei, even if the Central Army was unable to provide sufficient strength, the Anhui and Jiangsu student armies would still be able to take care of them. An oolong incident occurred,
The reorganization of the army is a big problem, and then there is the construction of the national defense industry. Before the army entered Chongqing, Ouyang Yun had already anticipated the weakness of the defense industry in the rear area. However, only after he actually came to Chongqing did he realize that this so-called "weakness" "It's so shocking that there isn't even a decent bullet factory, let alone firearms and vehicle manufacturing. As for airplanes, well, there is an airplane manufacturing plant, but even steel plates and aluminum need to be imported. It's not so much The aircraft factory, better known as an aircraft repair and assembly factory, refits nearly two million troops of the Central Army, Sichuan Army, and Guangxi Army. This has used up almost all the furniture and US aid ordnance accumulated by the Xuebing Army. , and the loss of firearms does not count, but the replenishment of bullets is a huge base. When you are not a family, you don’t know how expensive oil and rice are. Only when you really become a family, Ouyang Yun felt the difficulty of Old Chiang Kai-shek, the Supreme Head of State. The chair is not so easy to sit on.
The soldiers and horses were not moved, but the food and grass went first. In order to build momentum for Ouyang Yun to take control of Chongqing, the Xuebing Army used the wealth accumulated over the years. Only then did it have the military power as powerful as before, and this military power was as expected by the people.
As expected, it played an important role. Now, the Japanese army's Qinling Operation has been contained, just because this military force has filled the front line. The Xuebing Army has been operating in Guangdong for many years, and the arsenal it built was not only enough to satisfy the Xuebing Army.
It can be used for international trade and there is a surplus. However, now that it is suddenly necessary to support the national army, it is immediately stretched. Even when Marshal Zhang and Shan Renxiong want to use troops against Anhui and Jiangsu, there is a serious shortage of special ammunition.
situation,
The Northeastern Army has only recently been officially incorporated into the cadet army system, and it does not rely much on the weapons characteristic of the cadet corps. However, the one-man Zhejiang Army has long been accustomed to the cadet army-style combat method and is not interested in this type of ammunition.
The demand is high. In addition, after Nanjing was liberated by the Xuebing Army, the Japanese base camp recruited Kanji Ishihara to take charge of the East China War. This man was famous for fighting defensive battles, which intensified the problem of the characteristic ammunition of a single male unit.
Therefore, the headquarters received frontline telegrams almost every day, and the contents were all requests for ammunition supplies. Therefore, Ouyang Yun proposed more than once at high-level meetings of the headquarters to "expand the defense industry and increase the defense industry."
It is easy to shout the slogan, but difficult to put it into practice. Talents, equipment, etc. are all troublesome, and the headquarters gradually turned into a logistics department, like what Chen Cheng and others do every day.
, they are all coordinating this side and that side, and they don’t even have the energy to point fingers at the frontline war.
Foreigners don't know this. In their view, this is the Chinese deliberately trying to bluff and bargain. But just when the British and Soviet delegations stepped up contact with their governments and were thinking about further increasing the stakes, De Gaulle found another way.
But he met Ouyang Yun through Mu Jiandie,
Ouyang Yun didn't have time to see him. Regardless of whether it was an excuse or not, de Gaulle deliberately didn't take it seriously. While waiting for the announcement every day, he took Jimmy around every day, and then by some strange combination of circumstances, he actually got on a wooden boat.
The line of sword butterfly,
In the post-military reunification era, Mu Jiandie has become the number one person in China's intelligence community. De Gaulle, Jimmy and other Westerners with high noses, yellow hair and blue eyes wandering around will naturally inevitably stray into military restricted areas. These military personnel
The restricted area is actually an arsenal under construction, and the person responsible for the security of these restricted areas is the National Security Bureau, which is composed of some people from Lang Ya and Hu Tong. The people in the National Security Bureau are very cautious and do not know the background of de Gaulle and others.
, and brought it to Mu Jiandie. After the Xuebing Army entered Chongqing, the United Kingdom, Soviet Russia and the United States all sent agents to Chongqing. Mu Jiandie did not dare to be careless, and immediately came forward to invite de Gaulle to "drink tea". Okay.
Mu Jiandie was relatively modest and cautious, so he did not make an international joke. After de Gaulle learned of his identity, he immediately sensed the opportunity and repeated what he had told Song Ziwen.
