The questions raised by Xiang Xiaoqiang also exist in the minds of the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty. Although they were ordered to do everything possible to attract General Denikin to come to the Ming Dynasty, they were very dissatisfied with the harsh conditions offered by Denikin. Think about Xiang Xiaoqiang.
Just like Denikin wanted to lead the Russians to overthrow the Bolsheviks and establish a new regime, it would be impossible without the full help of the Ming Dynasty.
Impossible. Although Stalin is very unpopular now, the Red Army is very powerful after all. It cannot be fought by the White Army just now. It must rely on the Ming Dynasty to provide weapons, food, fuel, and a large number of military personnel. Directly
Command operations. It is almost certain that the Ming Dynasty's aviation force will definitely enter Russia and fight directly with the Red Army Air Force.
What did Ming Dynasty pay so much for? In other words, Ming Dynasty originally wanted to use its own army to "invade" Russia and seek benefits for Ming Dynasty. Now at your request, Denikin, Ming Dynasty troops will not directly enter Russia.
, but just spending money to arm your Denikin's army, how could it be possible under the Ming Dynasty?
On the battlefield, it is natural to regard Denikin's White Guards as "agents in Russia" to "invade" Russia on behalf of the Ming army. It is nothing more than Ming's money and guns, and Denikin's men. It doesn't matter what Ming does.
As the boss behind the scenes, or as a partner, how can you win but not be able to share the benefits?
Xiang Xiaoqiang then had another doubt: It seemed that it was not the right time to actively win over Denikin. Aren't we negotiating with the Soviet Union now? To be precise, Ming Dynasty was fighting both sides at the same time, and at the same time, it was trying to find ways to win over Denikin.
Both sides took the initiative to seek peace. In this way, the Ming Dynasty waited for the price and could obtain as much benefit as possible. The negotiations with the Soviet Union have not yet concluded, and if Denikin is taken to the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely stimulate the Soviet Union and make all the progress of the negotiations wasted.
ah.
The first doubt was solved with a few words while Shi Shigege smiled. Denikin was a very patriotic general. Although he hated the Bolsheviks, he also took Russia's national interests very seriously. And over the years,
Denikin established a lofty reputation internationally and among Belarus overseas.
Prestige, which is inseparable from his consistent patriotic image. Denikin naturally cherishes his feathers very much, for fear of being tainted by suspicions of "Russian traitor" and "traitor". And "colluding with foreign armies"
Entering one's own country to fight against compatriots", no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to escape this suspicion.
Therefore, Fourteenth Gege concluded that Denikin's condition was very much a gesture. He must first clearly state his condition, and maybe announce it to the whole world, proving that I, Denikin, resisted.
The Bolsheviks were for the Russian people, not for betrayal.
However, Fifteen Gege estimates that once Denikin's team is assembled, it may not be the opponent of the Soviet Red Army in the early stage. After losing several battles in a row, in the end they will have no choice but to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty again and ask the Ming Dynasty to directly send troops. At that time, the Ming Dynasty can take further steps.
Negotiate terms and ask for benefits.
Anyway, if the Ming Dynasty can overthrow the Stalin regime without many deaths, or at least establish a "Free Russian Republic" in Eastern Siberia and Central Asia, then the security of the Ming Dynasty's north will be much better.
If the two Russias can coexist, then the free Russia that is close to the Ming Dynasty will definitely be very afraid of the Soviet Union and very dependent on the Ming Dynasty. It is certain to be friendly and obedient.
Xiang Xiaoqiang understood. There will be a relationship similar to that between the United States, South Korea, and North Korea in later generations. The remaining Soviet Union in the west is North Korea, the new Russia in the east is South Korea, and the Ming Dynasty is the United States. Well, this kind of relationship is of course ideal.
As for the second doubt, Shi Shigege is also at a loss to explain it.
…
The next day, Xiang Xiaoqiang returned to the headquarters. As soon as he sat down at his table, Qiu Qiu Xiuxiu next to him poured tea, took documents, and put the brand of Xiang Xiaoqiang's favorite cigarette on the table.
Go up. After leaving them for a night, what I got when I came back was not a cold face or a temper, but more gentleness, virtuousness, and flattery.
Xiang Xiaoqiang sipped tea, smoked a cigarette, lay on a comfortable big leather chair, browsed several reports comfortably, glanced at Qiuqiu and Xiuxiu next to him with a smile, and felt deeply in his heart:
——Ah! It’s great to have competition. As soon as competition is introduced, those who have the right to choose will immediately become the boss. When there is competition in the business field, the customers will become the boss. When there is competition in the political field, the voters will become the boss.
He has become a father. Even if there is competition between wives, the husband has become a father.
After Xiang Xiaoqiang thought about this beautifully for a while, he found that Xiuxiu and Qiuqiu were looking at him, smiling very sweetly. Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at them and asked with a smile:
"Why are you smiling so sweetly? Is there anything good going on?"
Qiu Qiu came up to him with a smile and said with a smile:
"Xiaoqiang, guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Everyone on the Black Fish has been found and rescued."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was startled and said with a smile:
"Ah, that's good! Haha, a good thing, a good thing. But..."
He looked at Qiu Qiu, which seemed a bit exaggerated. He asked Xiaoqiang in his heart, do you still have friends on the Black Fish?
Qiu Qiu smiled again:
"Xiao Qiang... do you know which submarine saved the Black Fish?"
"Which one?"
"Gongbuhao!"
"Oh," Xiang Xiaoqiang repeated the name, "Gongbuhao? It sounds familiar!"
Qiu Qiu chuckled and said:
"Of course it sounds familiar! When we escaped from Beiqing, whose submarine was we on? It was the Gongbu! Captain Wu Haiqiong will be back soon. I also want to be with Xiuxiu and you.
My son invited Captain Wu to have a meal, and we all caught up with each other. Speaking of which, we haven’t thanked him yet... Xiaoqiang, what do you think?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang also suddenly realized and remembered. Gongbuhao, Wu Haiqiong, was the one who had boarded the Jiaozhou Bay in Qingdao with a large group of girls he rescued, the commandos, and the "bducted" Shishi Gege and Xiao Wu.
The one on board
What a big submarine! There were only a few beds on the boat, so the girls were allowed to sleep. I took a bunch of old men to squeeze into the torpedo room, and just squeezed all the way back to the East China Sea Fleet... Haha, what happened at that time,
It’s vivid in my mind now.
He also thought Qiu Qiu's proposal was good, nodded and said:
"Very good, this is a good idea. We should thank you. You two go and make arrangements. Later, when Captain Wu returns to Nanjing, you can invite them... Soon, Ming's large-scale submarine war will begin.
The submarine force is very important. Both privately and publicly, we must have a good relationship with the frontline officers and soldiers of the submarine force."
…
After that, Xiang Xiaoqiang took out the minutes of the meeting with Denikin that Shi Shi Ge Ge gave him and gave them to Xiu Xiu for her to read. Then he had to work closely with Shi Shi Ge Ge, Stomachache and others. Next, the People's Guard
We need to pay more attention to the secret talks in Paris. In particular, we need to find out why Dongchang is here
At this juncture, go to win over Denikin. Recently, the People's Guard has invested too much in intelligence against Japan and invested too little energy in other aspects, so that many "jobs" have been taken over by Dongchang. Now Dongchang
He must have something that the People's Guard doesn't know about. He needs to find out.
Xiu Xiu took the order and left. Qiu Qiu reported to him the latest movements of the Tianshu Squadron. The Tianshu Squadron passed through the Taiwan Strait last night and is now sailing along the southern coast of Zhejiang. It will return to Zhoushan today.
Island base. Whether the Japanese army is the Mutsu squadron or the four battleships deployed in the East China Sea
, neither of them had the intention to actively attack and seek a decisive battle. It seems that the strength of the Tianshu squadron after the two fleets were merged did indeed make the Japanese give up their plan of head-on confrontation. Or they did not intend to go deep into the Ming army.
A decisive battle with the Ming fleet of comparable strength within the range of the shore-based aircraft. That would be a huge disadvantage.
In recent days, Xiang Xiaoqiang has also focused on the navy. He has paid too little attention to the land battlefield. Now turning around and looking at the Northeast battlefield, the Ming army has driven most of the Japanese troops out of Fengtian and Jilin
Two provinces, most of the Japanese army
Either retreat south to North Korea or north to Heilongjiang, and the two provinces in the middle, Fengtian and Jilin, have been basically controlled by the Ming army. In other words, the Japanese army in several divisions in Heilongjiang in the north can be said to have been cut off.
On the way back, he became a lone army.
The future of these Japanese troops is either to surrender - of course, Xiang Xiaoqiang thinks this is unlikely. Or to be wiped out by the Ming army - in which case the Ming army will pay heavy casualties. Because the Japanese army is already in mourning and trapped beasts at this time. Or,
It was these Japanese troops who took advantage of the Soviet Union and returned to North Korea or Japan. Xiang Xiaoqiang thinks this is more likely.
So next, it will be very valuable for the Ming army to invade the Soviet territory eastward, occupy the Vladivostok line, and block the Japanese army's land route back to North Korea through the Soviet Union. In addition, the Ming army submarines in the Sea of Japan should also be more vigilant.
Seize the opportunity to sink Japanese troop transports. Every time one of those troop transports was sunk, which was full of returning Japanese troops, it was equivalent to wiping out half of the Japanese Type A division. That one torpedo was worth tens of millions of dollars more than the army's.
