"Opposite us, there is a division of the Eastern Army, six railway garrison brigades, two heavy artillery battalions and military police units. "" novel netizens hand-picked"
Jiang Baili pointed at the map and said: "For this battle, the Northeast Combat Corps has gathered the absolute superior strength of six divisions, two gun brigades, an artillery brigade, a gun artillery regiment, and two armed police brigades...
....”
Wang Hengyue listened very carefully.
This time in the Northeast war, we are going to fight fast. We will use the absolute superior combat strength to solve the Northeast problem in one fell swoop in the shortest time and with the most thunderous means.
Don't give the Japanese any chance to react!
"Although we have been mobilizing forces secretly, such a large-scale force still makes the Japanese Kwantung Army somewhat alert." Jiang Baili continued: "The Japanese Kwantung Army Commander Shirakawa Yoshinori has begun to concentrate his forces to deal with possible
The coming war..."
"Let them prepare..." Wang Hengyue smiled coldly: "Since we want to fight, I am not afraid that they will be prepared. This time Northeast, Taiwan, and North Korea are fighting at the same time, using troops on three fronts. The time has come to test us.
.”
Jiang Baili thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "Heng Shuai, this is an undeclared war and a surprise attack. I'm afraid someone will make irresponsible remarks to you again."
"Making irresponsible remarks? Chief, what you said is really too polite. It's better to scold me. How shameless and despicable I am. If I ignore international conventions and so on..." Wang Hengyue simply didn't care.
He smiled nonchalantly and said: "Scold me, scold me. I was scolded a lot when I was in Sichuan. No matter how much you scold me, I just pretend I didn't hear it. This means that a person with thick skin is invincible..."
.”
With a "boom", the entire headquarters burst into laughter.
Wang Hengyue also smiled and said: "Moreover, where is the undeclared war here? We are recovering our lost territory. Ah, it is a just military action. There is nothing wrong with it...Taiwan and Northeast China are our land.
, there is absolutely no doubt about this, right? This North Korea... From a historical point of view, North Korea has always been our country's land... If any of you don't believe it, I can debate it with you.
,Do you have?"
It's a pity that everyone in the entire headquarters was smiling, and no one took the president's advice.
Whenever the president insists on something, don't argue with him. He has been prepared for it long ago...
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, I have to go see someone." Wang Hengyue stood up with a smile, adjusted his military uniform, and walked out of the headquarters.
The person he wanted to meet was Syngman Rhee, the former chairman of the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea" whose headquarters had been moved from Shanghai to Nanjing, and the current head of the European and American Committee of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.
This man served as the president of the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea" for two years, and was later ousted by North Korea's young nationalists. He went to the United States again, but always maintained contact with the Chinese government.
This time he received a secret message from the Chinese government, inviting him to immediately travel from the United States to Northeast China for a meeting. Knowing that something would inevitably happen, he rushed from the United States to Northeast China without any hesitation, and finally arrived at Wang Hengyue's place before the Northeast War broke out.
After seeing Wang Hengyue, Rhee stood up respectfully: "Mr. President, when I was in Shanghai, I always wanted to see you and listen to your teachings, but I never had the chance. This time I finally met.
You, this day will be remembered by me for the rest of my life.”
Is this person Syngman Rhee? Does Syngman Rhee look like this?
Wang Hengyue smiled softly in his heart, shook hands with Syngman Rhee, and asked him to sit down: "Minister Li, I have always wanted to talk to you face to face, but I never had the chance. This time, it's better for you and me.
We can talk freely between us.”
"Yes." Syngman Rhee said quickly: "My name is Wennan. If the president doesn't mind, please call me Wennan."
Wang Hengyue had goosebumps all over his body...
This man is forty-eight this year, almost fifty years old. He is much older than me. In front of me, he is like a junior. He is really a little shameless...
In 1910, Korea became a colony of Japan. In 1912, Syngman Rhee briefly returned to China and advocated revolutionary ideas in the name of preaching, but was expelled by the Japanese colonial authorities. In 1913, Syngman Rhee was invited by the overseas Chinese leader Park Yong-man to
He went to Hawaii to run a school for Korean expatriates. Soon, the two had differences of opinion. Park Yongman advocated armed struggle to save the country. Rhee Syngman advocated obtaining sympathy and assistance from Western powers through diplomatic activities to achieve independence!
He believed that "we cannot fight the ferocious Japan with bare hands. A country that perished due to the secret treaty of the great powers can only restore its independence through diplomacy." Sharp differences caused the "Korean National Association", an organization of expatriates in the United States, to split into two factions. Lee
Syngman established a separate "Comrades Association", established a school, and founded the weekly "Korea Pacific" to advocate his own anti-Japanese political ideas.
In December 1918, the Conference of Representatives of Korean Overseas Chinese in the United States prepared to appoint Syngman Rhee and others to attend the Paris Peace Conference to appeal to the great powers for North Korea's rebellion. The United States refused to issue a visa and the trip failed.
On February 16, 1919, Syngman Rhee and others privately submitted a "Petition for Mandate Rule" to U.S. President Wilson, begging the great powers to place North Korea under the "protection" of the League of Nations and implement the Mandate Rule. This was strongly opposed by the expatriates.
.
In the same year, the massive "March 1" anti-Japanese movement broke out in North Korea. After the failure of the "March 1" movement, South Korean nationalists established the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea" in Shanghai, China. Syngman Rhee, who was far away in the United States, was elected in absentia as the provisional government.
President, he immediately went to France on behalf of the provisional government to submit a petition for Korean independence to the Paris Peace Conference. In December 1920, Syngman Rhee went to Shanghai to be sworn in as the provisional president. However, he neither proposed the struggle strategy of the national independence movement nor the
Proposed the policy policy of the provisional government. At that time, the younger generation of State Prime Minister Li Donghui and others advocated organizing volunteers, sneaking into the country to stage riots, seeking China's support to strengthen the anti-Japanese movement, and forming a united front with the anti-Japanese political parties in China.
and launched a guerrilla war against Japan in North Korea.
Syngman Rhee expressed opposition. He insisted on obtaining independence through the gifts of the United States and other countries. He refused to leave Washington for a long time and was unwilling to hand over administrative decision-making power to the Prime Minister, which aggravated the internal conflicts of the provisional government. In May 1921
On the 20th, Rhee Syngman used an excuse to appeal to the great powers to invade North Korea and come to Washington.
He was keen on building his own power in the United States, using the name of the European and American Foreign Affairs Commission to promote himself, and trying to cut off the financial resources of the Shanghai Provisional Government, which was in trouble.
It can be said that Syngman Rhee spared no effort to control the power of the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea" in his own hands, but he neglected one thing:
The Chinese government’s attitude on this matter, and China’s rapid rise and power!
At that time, China was not long after its reunification, and Wang Hengyue did not have much thought about the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea" and did not show much enthusiasm.
Syngman Rhee is also close to the United States. He does not believe that China can be stronger than Japan, let alone defeat Japan, so he cannot provide him with much help.
However, the development of things was completely beyond his expectation...
First, relations between China and the United States heated up rapidly. When Syngman Rhee repeatedly asked for help from the United States, the United States tactfully told him that he should listen more to China's opinions on the North Korean issue.
Later, with the opening of China's industrial era and the rapid development of China's national power, Rhee began to pay attention to China's influence on the North Korean issue.
Especially China's tough attitude towards Japan, Rhee began to know that China will never be afraid of the Japanese government!
What shocked him even more was that just after he set foot on Chinese soil again, he received earth-shattering news:
Great victory for the Chinese Navy!
Syngman Rhee was completely shocked. In his opinion, the Japanese navy was difficult to defeat. But how many years had passed since the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, and the Chinese navy was actually able to defeat the Japanese navy?
And this also accelerated Rhee's eagerness to get China's support before the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea"...
For Wang Hengyue, he looked down on this North Korean from the bottom of his heart.
But to look down on him is to look down on him, and now I have to take advantage of him. Now I am no longer the Captain Wang in Rong County. I can ignore anyone I hate when I see him. Now I have to take responsibility for the entire situation.
No matter how annoying a person is, you have to deal with him as long as he is useful!
"The main reason for inviting you here this time is to discuss the North Korean issue." Wang Hengyue said straight to the point: "Japan has occupied North Korea for too long. The North Korean people are living in dire straits. As the sovereign state of North Korea, we have the responsibility and obligation to help North Korea.
Restore the rights you deserve..."
These words made Rhee sound a little awkward.
As the suzerain of Korea?
Syngman Rhee laughed a few times: "Yes, North Korea is constantly being bullied and oppressed by Japan. If there is support from China, the day when North Korea can restore independence and democracy will not be far away."
Then, he said in a flattering manner: "China's prosperity and strong national strength are obvious to all, and North Koreans have always remembered the traditional friendship between North Korea and China..."
Wang Hengyue smiled slightly.
He has no interest in traditional friendship and so on. This is the most illusory thing. Once those countries with "traditional friendship" involve their own interests, they will fall out and read more books than books. The so-called friendship
The stool is gone.
Wang Hengyue is China's biggest pragmatist, and the only thing he considers is China's interests.
