Chapter 1687 The opportunity to intervene in West Asia
Chapter 1687 Opportunity to intervene in West Asia
After a hearty and hearty lovemaking, the room slowly became quiet. Except for the sound of violent breathing, there was no other sound. The bright and silky sheets had become wrinkled, and there were wet stains everywhere. Zhou Xuan's original
The neck that was raised high, after singing loudly, finally fell lightly, and the crystal beads of sweat slowly slid down from the jade-white cheeks, winding down the white and delicate chest.
A few minutes later, An Yi sat up panting and suddenly felt some pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw several shocking scratches on his chest. He couldn't help but look at Zhou Xuan's charming face with laughter and tears.
At this time, Zhou Xuan's hair was messy, her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, her chest was rising and falling, her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and her scarlet thin lips were like two delicate rose petals, closing together soothingly, with a trace of confusion on her expression, as if she was still
Revel in the lingering aftertaste of the clouds and rain in Wushan.
After staring for a long time, An Yi took her orchid-like slender palm, looked at the slender jade fingers, the round fingertips, and the long nails, and joked in a low voice: "Xuan'er, look, there are bloodshot eyes here.
For those who didn’t know, I thought you were practicing the Nine Yin White Bone Claws!”
"I'm not Mei Chaofeng, and you're not Guo Jing..." Zhou Xuan replied lazily with his eyes still closed, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
There is an allusion here. After Feng Jieyun helped Ye Qing organize the "Nanhua Daily" in April, he found that Nanhua Daily, whether it was a central or local newspaper, was too serious, so he proposed to An Yi to start a newspaper that integrates current affairs, finance, sports and entertainment.
An integrated national newspaper. An Yi agreed without much consideration. As a result, the newspaper was seriously unsaleable.
Seeing Feng Jieyun's frown, An Yi was worried about affecting the fetus in her belly, so he took a look at the newspaper called "Oriental Morning Post" and found that it was completely different - the current affairs section was not as good as "South China Daily" and "Liberation Daily"
Professional, and the financial content seems too simple. Now the dollar area, pound area and franc area are on their own and trade with each other. The country also has a war economic system, everything serves the war, and there are no standardized securities and
There is not much that can be written about the futures trading market.
As for sports and entertainment, there are no competitions to write about now. The main entertainment is watching movies, listening to records and cassette players. After the war between China and Japan, the film actors and singers who moved west to Xufu, as well as the local film companies in Xufu
Actors basically all joined the Anjiajun Art Troupe and Propaganda Troupe. The army promotes a work style of unity, seriousness, tension, and liveliness. The government does not allow the exposure of gossipy news at all, so the content of the entire newspaper appears to be mundane.
.
Under this situation, An Yi suggested compressing the section and serializing the novel in the newspaper. Feng Jieyun's eyes lit up, but he soon started to worry about which novel to publish. Under the current overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, he advocated the main theme of the anti-Japanese war, which is healthy and upward, and consistent with the outside world.
Any article that eliminates fighting spirit and affects people's hearts will not pass the review of the political department.
An Yi thought carefully, and then told Feng Jieyun the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The political structure of the Southern Song Dynasty was very similar to the current situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and it must be able to resonate with readers.
Feng Jieyun was very disappointed when he first heard that it was a martial arts story. In the 1920s, Pingjiang's "The Legend of Jianghu" and "The Legend of Chivalrous Heroes" were very popular in the society, but Feng Jieyun was not cold about it, although he did not write an article to criticize it.
, but have always kept a respectful distance.
However, as An Yi explained the story in general, the tragic historical background, complicated scenes, magnificent momentum and distinctive heroic epic style immediately aroused Feng Jieyun's interest. An Yi also explained the entire story according to the development context.
After a while, Feng Jieyun already had a general overview in his mind after listening. Guo Jing's honesty and sincerity, Huang Rong's wit and cunning, and Yang Kang's disregard for personal gain left a deep impression.
Later, Feng Jieyun tried to write the story by herself, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not write the flavor of martial arts. In the end, she became anxious and simply wrote the story of Huanzhu Louzhu, Bai Yu, Zheng Zhengyin, Zhu Zhenmu, and Wang Dulu, who had taken refuge in Xu Mansion.
Five authors who had written martial arts novels in newspapers were invited to come out and let An Yi dictate the stories to them. They combined the efforts of the five people to write "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
An Yi only knew the names of Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng in later generations. How could he know who these five were? One day in late May, An Yi spent an afternoon in Xiyuan, explaining what he knew about "The Condor Heroes".
The background, characters, story development and clues of "The Legend" were explained one by one. At the beginning of June, the five people gave the complete story outline, character introduction, martial arts names and other settings to An Yi for review. An Yi felt and remembered
After there was not much difference between them, five young people were asked to start writing novels.
I don’t know how the five people divided their labors. The novel was very successful. When it was published in chapters in newspapers in mid-June, it caused a huge sensation and soon boosted the sales of "Oriental Morning Post". In August, Narrative
The government radio station purchased the copyright of the novel from "Oriental Morning Post" and began to perform "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the form of a radio drama. The following month, Nanhua Radio Station began to rebroadcast the radio drama. By October, the martial arts in the novel had become a household name in the country.
Something, so when An Yi and Zhou Xuan said it at this moment, it was not abrupt at all.
An Yi did not take over Zhou Xuan's words, but just looked at the ten fingers that were as beautiful as spring green onions.
Zhou Xuan giggled a few times, her pretty face flushed, like a ripe red apple. As if feeling An Yi's fiery gaze, Zhou Xuan opened her charming eyes, glanced at him quickly, and withdrew her palm, feeling a little embarrassed.
He covered his face and said coquettishly: "Brother Xiao Yi, it's not your fault. Just now... why did you use so much force..."
An Yi bent over his wife, gently opened her hands, tilted his head, and stared at her pretty face without saying a word, his eyes full of tenderness.
Zhou Xuan was a little flustered by what he saw. He hurriedly and shyly turned away his pretty face, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Is there anything good to see? It's been so long, haven't you seen enough?"
“Can never get enough!”
An Yi chuckled, leaned his head over, and whispered softly in Zhou Xuan's ear: "Xuan'er, you screamed so hard just now, why don't I use any force... This is when a man proves his ability.
Do you think I can disobey orders?"
"Um......"
Zhou Xuan snorted tenderly, her ears already red. She turned sideways and took the soft pillow, turned over, and sat on An Yi's body. Then she gently hit his head with the pillow a few times, pouting.
Said: "Brother Xiaoyi, you are so bad. You were the one who provoked me first..."
An Yi smiled and received a few gentle blows. When Zhou Xuan put down the pillow, he touched the hot and soft body with his right hand again. The palm of his hand was soft and smooth. For a moment, his heart was filled with joy. He couldn't help but put his mouth towards Zhou Xuan.
He kissed her on the lips and boasted in a low voice: "Xuan'er, your voice is so beautiful, like the sound of nature. No wonder you can sing such beautiful songs."
Zhou Xuan stretched out her white and tender index finger and put it on An Yi's lips. She looked at him with eyes as gentle as water. After a while, she lowered her head and kissed An Yi on the face. When she raised her head, there was a sweet smile on her lips.
Turned his head to the side.
An Yi let out a long sigh of relief, stretched out his hand, stroked her waterfall-like hair, and then took her whole body into his arms, quietly listening to her still fierce heartbeat, and felt his mind was at peace.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
The door rang at an inappropriate time. An Yi was a little surprised. It was already early in the morning. What did Lao Shen want to do with him?
He raised his head and kissed Zhou Xuan's lips like a dragonfly. He turned around again and pressed her exquisite body under her. Then she lifted the quilt, put on her pajamas and stood up. She gently covered Zhou Xuan with the quilt.
Just opened the door.
Shen Fengdao said softly: "Zhao Rui called from Nanjing. Qilu officially informed me that Chairman Chiang Kai-shek will fly directly from Nanjing to Kulun tomorrow morning and is expected to arrive at Kulun Airport around ten o'clock in the morning. Let's be ready to welcome him...
"
"The principal is coming to attend Dongzi's wedding?"
An Yi was a little surprised, but then he suddenly realized that this might be Chiang Kai-shek's soft plan.
At present, the development of the group cannot be separated from domestic support. Since Chiang Kai-shek is willing to take the initiative to show his goodwill, An Yi is not willing to go too far. After thinking for a while, he immediately said:
"I will personally go to the airport to greet you tomorrow. We will do our best to be courteous, but the interests that should be fought for must still be fought for, and principles must not be traded."
Shen Fengdao continued to report: "The negotiating team called. Chong'an originally decided to formally propose to the National Government to end the negotiations tomorrow morning, and then arrived in Mongolia by special plane to attend Dongzi's wedding. Unexpectedly, at nine o'clock in the evening, Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi visited Jiangnan Hotel together. The central government was willing
Make concessions in all aspects and negotiate on specific issues tomorrow, so he cannot come to congratulate you in person, please apologize to Dongzi on your behalf."
"Busy and busy with business!"
The temperature in the corridor was very low, and An Yi tightened his pajamas: "The wedding is just a formality. There will be more time in the future. You can sit and drink together whenever you want. I have already made arrangements during the day. Within a week, Ou Shi Group and Huaqing
The company will register a shipping company in the Netherlands, and Hongxingshe and Nanhua Group will each register a shipping company in Portugal to prepare for emergencies. Since the war started last year, Hongxingshe and Nanhua Group have maintained trade channels with Japan, selling sulfonamides and penicillin at high prices.
, special cold medicine and other medicines, and robbed huge amounts of gold, silver, US dollars, pounds and other foreign exchange reserves.
"Realistically speaking, the domestic industry is still very backward. The sooner those factories are put into production, the better the overall situation of the war. I am thinking that if Japan really launches an offensive in Southeast Asia in advance, the United States will be involved in the war soon.
At that time, it is estimated that people will pay for the things produced by these factories and enterprises... Are there other things?"
Originally An Yi just asked casually, but if he didn't expect it to happen, Shen Fengdao said in a low voice:
"In the early hours of the morning, urgent news came from Afghanistan. After a day and night of fierce fighting, the Soviet army under the command of Sheng Shicai broke through the important town of Panjiao in the west of Kabul, annihilated the 12,000 defenders, and approached Maidan in the southwest of Kabul. City. At the same time, another Soviet army crossed the vast Hindu Kush Mountains and was advancing towards Charikar, a city north of Kabul. The situation in Afghanistan deteriorated sharply."
An Yi's expression changed, and he paced back and forth, thinking carefully.
In the past two months, Sheng Shicai has been unstoppable in Afghanistan. Along the northern highway of Afghanistan, he has successively captured Hulem, Mazar-i-Sharif, Balkh, Shibilgan, Andhuy, Maimana, and Balam. An Yi was very clear about the situation in cities such as Ergab, Naumburg, Herat, etc., but he only thought that this was a military deployment made during the heyday to open up a channel for the Soviet army to return to the Soviet Union. For this reason, the General Staff He also specially gave Ye Cheng a message, asking him to be on full alert, deploy heavy troops on the border, and be ready to expel the invading Soviet army at any time.
But who would have thought that Sheng Shicai would now go all out to attack Kabul along the Hari Valley, trying to capture this capital city in eastern Afghanistan. Could it be said that Sheng Shicai lost his army and wanted to replace "Mushahiban" “Is the family becoming the new rulers of Afghanistan?
An Yi was keenly aware that the Afghan issue might be closely related to An Jiajun's future Central Asia strategy. After thinking about it, he decided to hold a special meeting to discuss the matter early the next morning. He immediately said: "It's quiet at night, so I won't disturb the brothers. Alright, Lao Shen, please ask the staff to prepare. Early tomorrow morning, notify the generals of the Third Headquarters in Culun to hold a meeting in the military region war room. After the meeting, I will go to the airport."
Shen Fengdao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. You should go back to your room and rest first. It's too cold!"
An Yi nodded and turned around to go back to the house without hesitation. He knew that as long as he explained the matter, Shen Fengdao would get it done.
Sure enough, the moment the door was closed, Shen Fengdao immediately summoned the staff and began to assign tasks.
...
At eight o'clock the next morning, generals gathered in the war room of the Northern Military Region.
Liu Qing, the Minister of Intelligence who was notified after the wake-up call sounded at six o'clock in the morning, had already prepared his homework. At An Yi's signal, he took the baton and walked to the map of Afghanistan, facing the twenty people in front of the conference table. A general talked eloquently:
"In the past two months, Sheng Shicai has been extremely powerful in Afghanistan. The Japanese and Soviet troops under his command suddenly burst out with astonishing combat effectiveness. Like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, they swept across northern Afghanistan. The Afghan government troops and tribes The armies were defeated one after another.
“According to intelligence, Sheng Shicai followed the example of the Chinese Communist Party in the early 1930s in the areas he occupied, allocating land to local tyrants, distributing the property and livestock of tribal leaders to poor farmers and herdsmen, establishing workers’ and peasants’ Soviets, and winning a large number of The liberated poor farmers and herdsmen joined the army one after another, and the army controlled by Sheng Shicai quickly expanded to 200,000.
"The main force of the Soviet army led by Mehlis and Chuikov entered Afghanistan in late September and then moved westward. The troops are now concentrated in the Herat area in western Afghanistan, facing off against the Persian army coming to encircle them across the border. Sheng Shicai didn't know how he persuaded Mehlis and Chuikov. In late September, he suddenly mobilized his troops and marched towards Kabul. After going through the four major battles of Shahrak, Chachcharan, Daulayar and Lal, he successively annihilated Afghanistan. More than 80,000 government troops and tribal coalition forces seized a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food supplies. At the same time as they launched the offensive on the western front, the Soviet army on the northern front raided the Salang Pass and wiped out a division of the defenders, and then attacked the Hindu Kush Mountains. The region advanced all the way south, approaching the city of Charikar.
"The most beautiful battle among them was when a surprise attack force was sent out on the 29th of last month to launch a sudden attack on the military airport in the northern suburbs of Kabul. The battle started at dawn, and in just half an hour, the government air force was stopped.
All ninety-eight fighter planes at the airport were destroyed. To the humiliation of the Afghans, this surprise attack force finally retreated, leaving only a riddled airport for the belated arrival of the army. It is said that
King Zahir Shah of Afghanistan was so angry that he almost vomited blood."
An Yi did not ask how the Soviet army did all this, but asked another question: "Did the British take any action?"
When talking about Afghanistan, it is inevitable to talk about Britain. Liu Qing was well prepared for this and immediately answered: "After the war in Europe, the British were eager to expand their troops, but they were worried about the Indians, so they recruited 250,000 troops in Nepal.
The Erkha people enlisted in the army and formed fifteen infantry divisions together with more than 12,800 British troops. These fifteen infantry divisions are currently seizing the time to train and are expected to take at least three months to half a year before they can be put into combat.
Until then, the UK will not be able to give any help to the Afghan government in order to curb the actions of Indian rebels."
"Ha ha!"
Yang Jie laughed heartily: "This time the Japanese have made the British miserable! From the end of last year to the present, the continuous attacks have seriously disrupted the normal economic order of the colonies, and industrial and agricultural production has almost come to a standstill, destroying
The mutual trust between the British and the indigenous people was damaged, and the British could not use the resources of the colonies to serve the war as soon as possible!
"Now I even begin to suspect that even the unprecedented outbreak of infectious diseases in Australia was caused by the Japanese. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence... Looking at the British colonies, except for Africa and Africa far away from Japan,
Except for the normalcy of the American colonies, the rest of the area is in chaos. Sheng Shicai found a good opportunity this time!"
Deng Bin asked with some confusion: "The Soviet Union also had a share in the partition of Poland, and now the Soviet army is causing trouble in Afghanistan. Why didn't the United Kingdom declare war on the Soviet Union, but only on Germany?"
Seeing the generals looking thoughtful, An Yi took the initiative to explain: "According to the British official explanation, Germany occupied a dominant position in the military operation to destroy Poland. The Soviet army only sent troops to 'enter' the eastern part of Poland to defend the empty area at the end of the war. Therefore,
Not enough to declare war.
"In my opinion, the leaders of Britain and France are still very clear-headed. They know that it is impossible for Nazism and communism to coexist. Even if the war between Germany and the Soviet Union is fierce now, there will definitely be problems in the future. This
This can be proven simply from the thoughts revealed in Hitler's "Mein Kampf".
"Based on the principle that the enemy of our enemy is our friend, even if the Soviet Union itself was an aggressor, Britain and France would not declare war on the Soviet Union. I am thinking now that if hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in Afghanistan want to return to the Caucasus, they must go through the British
By then, will Britain and France declare war on the Soviet Union?"
"As long as the Soviet army has no attempt to capture the oil fields in western and southwestern Persia, the British will continue to tolerate it!" Yang Fei said thoughtfully:
"Now the Germans are sharpening their swords, the Japanese are unclear, and the Italians are ambiguous. The British are absolutely unwilling to establish such a strong enemy as the Soviet Union. This is not only related to the entire West Asia, but also related to the safety of the South Asian subcontinent. The British have no choice but to
careful!"
An Yi nodded suddenly, then thought of something, turned to look at the clock in the war room, stood up and said loudly: "It's getting late, I have to go to the airport to greet the principal later, and attend Dongzi's wedding with everyone.
To make a long story short, when the Soviet army attacks Afghanistan and Persia, do we have the space and possibility to intervene? If the Soviet army invades Persia, and we take the initiative to enter these two countries under the pretext of expelling the Soviet army, will it trigger a strong backlash from Britain and France?
?”
The generals were surprised. They never expected that An Yi would turn his mind to Afghanistan and Persia, and a burst of discussion immediately erupted in the conference room.
Zhao Dongquan stood up and analyzed: "Even if we want to enter Afghanistan and fight Persia, it will be next year! It is already October, and it won't be long before it snows in Central Asia. Although Afghanistan is located in the tropical climate zone, it is far away from the
The ocean has a high altitude and a continental climate, dry and little rain, with severe cold winters and scorching hot summers. In winter, the lowest temperature in northern and northeastern Afghanistan can reach more than minus 30 degrees, which is very unfavorable for marching and combat. By next spring,
The situation in Europe is basically clear, and the Japanese army in Asia may also take action, and by then we will have much more room for choice!"
“Strike while the iron is hot!”
Yang Jie waved his hand and waited until everyone's eyes fell on him before calmly saying: "We are in difficulty, and the enemy is equally in difficulty. Now is no longer the era of cold weapons, and many problems can be overcome through modern means. I checked the relevant
According to information, as early as early September, the General Logistics Department sent individual soldiers cold-proof equipment to the Central Asian troops, such as cold-proof boots, cold-proof gloves and insoles, cold-proof helmets and goggles, cold-proof shock-proof vests, cold-proof clothing and cotton coats, etc. In addition,
, each of our classes is equipped with a multi-purpose oil lamp for cooking, lighting, and heating, as well as special high-calorie field food, and special winter cotton tents and down sleeping bags for sleeping, which can basically prevent the occurrence of frostbite.
...Am I right, Minister Chang?"
Chang Baofang, director of the General Logistics Department, replied with a smile: "Yes, we have always paid attention to the cold protection of the troops. The above is the basic configuration. By the beginning of October, all the cold protection materials required by all troops in Central Asia and Mongolia have been in place."
Yang Jie nodded and continued: "No matter how cold it is in Afghanistan, it is not as cold as Siberia and the Urals. The weather there is extremely cold at 40 to 50 degrees below zero. The Soviet and Japanese troops are really unable to move. Under such circumstances, plus
We have a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and transport vehicles. If we really want to launch an offensive in Afghanistan and Persia, I think we can definitely win the above two places before spring comes."
Everyone was moved. Unexpectedly, Yang Jie, a new member of the Anjia Army, was more familiar with this army than most generals. Zhao Dong blushed and stood up to admit his mistake:
"I'm sorry, I made an empiricist error. I only thought about the difficulty of fighting in winter, but did not analyze the specific situation! In fact, to put it bluntly, Afghanistan is similar to the situation in the northeastern region of our country, especially Kabul in the southeast, where the climate conditions are similar to those in the northeastern region of our country.
It's similar to North China. If we really make up our mind, it's no problem to capture the enemy. But I think we need to make a plan before we move, and we can't be dragged into the chaos in West Asia for the time being!"
Yang Jie smiled slightly: "As I just said, the current international situation is chaotic. Whether it is the Soviet army or us occupying Afghanistan and central and eastern Persia, the British can only endure it for now and wait until the German threat is eliminated.
Let's settle the accounts after the fall. Of course, we can't send troops without a reasonable excuse, but that's a matter of justice."
"In that case, finding an entry point is the key!"
An Yi stood up and said: "It's almost time, I have to rush to the airport now. If you continue to discuss, it's best to come up with a feasible plan, such as Afghanistan or the Persian royal family taking the initiative to send us an invitation to send troops. If we can win Persia
With Afghanistan, our game of chess in Central Asia will be over!"
