I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 618

Liu Fengling smiled: "Brother Wei is joking!"

Jiang Weiguo looked back at Shu Guosheng: "Old Shu, did you hear that?"

Shu Guosheng smiled slightly: "Yes.

Although it is none of our business to fight back and forth in the military reunification, we still have to be on our guard if they want to implicate us.

The incident in Henan is a bit interesting.

In any case, Dingmo Village has joined us, and we are involved, because we cannot hand over Dingmo Village to the military or the central government!"

Jiang Weiguo leaned on the car seat cushion: "Okay, I will leave it to you to handle it! By the way, Ding Mocun, let me deal with him after draining his value and make him clean. I don't like this person; Also, pay more attention to the military command. The situation is so complicated and weird, and the military command is too quiet. I don't think it's Dai Li's style.

You know, Mr. He has a very good relationship with the military commander!"

Shu Guosheng nodded: "Got it, boss!"

Amidst the numerous snowflakes, time came to the end of 1943 and the beginning of 1944.

For the majority of Chinese people and many foreigners, Jiang Weiguo's marriage is undoubtedly the most concerned and eye-catching thing for them at this time.

Jiang Weiguo's marriage cannot be compared with ordinary people's marriage. As we all know, the marriage of a big man is not as simple as two people becoming a husband and wife or two families becoming in-laws. In their hands, the nature has completely changed, and to a large extent it has become a means, a tool.

As early as more than two months ago, Wuhan disclosed to the outside world through unofficial channels that Jiang Weiguo would marry on January 1944, 1. All walks of life across the country were immediately stirred up by a single stone, setting off various waves, up to senior officials. From the dignitaries down to the common people, in the streets and alleys, after dinner, the topic of heated discussion among people is "Jiang Weiguo is getting married".

As the saying goes, "a layman watches the fun, an insider watches the way." People of different identities, statuses, social classes, and ideological realms naturally have very different views on this time:

"Little General Jiang is getting married! I don't know how many women will be sad, haha!"

"You said, why did General Jiang marry a Japanese woman? I really can't figure it out! Don't we in China have any good girls who are worthy of him?"

"I can't figure it out either! Little Jiang used to kill the Japanese so hard, but he ended up marrying a Japanese wife. He wouldn't be afraid that his wife would stab him to death on the bed in the middle of the night?"

"What's so strange about this? Japanese women are gentle! In the past, General Jiang Baili was famous for his research on Japan's strategy, but he ended up marrying a Japanese wife. And Mr. Sun Yat-sen, didn't he also marry a Japanese wife in Japan? "

"What do you know? After all, General Jiang is of Chinese and Japanese mixed blood. His biological mother is a Japanese woman. It is natural for him to have some feelings for Japan. China and Japan are now allies and allies. He married that woman who was born in the Japanese royal family." , it is precisely to consolidate Sino-Japanese relations, after all, this decision was made for the benefit of the country!"

"Hey! It's quite sad to say that these big people can't even decide their own marriages. Everything has to be sacrificed for the interests of the country, just like those conjugal princesses in history, tsk tsk tsk.

I'm curious, doesn't General Jiang already have a bunch of women?He is now marrying that Japanese woman, what about his former women? "

"Ha! This is someone else's family business, it's none of your business!"

"Looking at it this way, the alliance and friendly relations between China and Japan will last for a long time, and the two countries have become in-laws!"

"Well, many things became clear at once, and many of our policies also need to be readjusted!"

Amid the hustle and bustle of various outside voices, Jiang Weiguo returned to Nanjing.

Needless to say, Jiang Weiguo's "fate" with the city of Nanjing, Nanjing is his starting point. Before the Battle of Nanjing, although he already had his own troops, he did not yet have the climate to form a faction. Only when the Battle of Nanjing officially broke out did he possess the most powerful army in China, the "Nanjing Army", and then slowly established his own faction.

It has been six years since the Battle of Nanjing (which broke out at the end of 1937) to the present, and time flies. At this time, standing on Zijin Mountain again overlooking the whole city of Nanjing, Jiang Weiguo had to be filled with emotion.

From December 1937, 12 to September 1, 1938, the entire battle of Nanjing lasted for 9 days. The Chinese army successively invested about 4 troops (including the militia) in the battle, and the Japanese army successively invested about 277 troops. In the end, the Chinese army defeated the Japanese army and successfully defended Nanjing. During the entire battle, the Japanese army suffered a total of about 25 casualties, of which about 50 were killed, while the Chinese army suffered a total of about 35 casualties, of which about 20 were killed. It is difficult to count the casualties of civilians (Chinese civilians) affected by the battle, and it is conservatively estimated that it should exceed 17.

Amidst the numerous snowflakes, Zijin Mountain and Nanjing City were completely covered in silver.

Jiang Weiguo stood in a depression of Zijin Mountain. In front of him was a tomb. There were tombstones and graves, but there were no dead people. Three lines of characters were neatly engraved on the granite tombstone:

Tomb of Jiang Weiguo, a soldier of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China

Born in Tokyo on October [-], [-]

Died in battle in Nanjing on □ month □ day [-] AD

Looking at his own tomb, Jiang Weiguo seemed to see the scene of the war at that time again: gunpowder smoke in the dark sky, planes piercing the clouds and fog, tanks rolling with iron wheels, thundering cannons, exploding fireballs blooming everywhere, earth-shattering explosions, dense Raindrops of bullets, overwhelming cannonballs and bombs, piles of corpses, torn bones, blood flowing, heart-piercing screams, angry roars, battered but still flying The battle flags, the Japanese troops all over the mountains and plains rushing up like a rising tide of yellow muddy water, the Nanjing Army defending their positions frantically fired and dropped bombs, roaring warriors who fought hand-to-hand with the enemy with shining bayonets, holding explosives Including the death squads who rushed into the crowd of enemy soldiers and exploded suddenly, the stumps and broken arms flying all over the sky... The bloody battle that moved the world and shocked the world has now disappeared and disappeared, as if it had been done. like a dream.

Jiang Weiguo looked at Zijin Mountain and Nanjing City with blurred eyes. He remembered that after the Battle of Nanjing, Nanjing was completely turned into a big ruin. , but there is no life on the mountain, no green, only shocking black scorched earth, large groups of blood stains that have turned purple in color, gray military uniforms of Nanjing Army victims, and yellow military uniforms of Japanese Army victims, all piled up here and there. On the surface of the mountain, the whole mountain is not only lifeless but also ugly. The trenches, trenches, and traffic trenches dug by the Nanjing Army like crazy make the surface of the mountain like a net. The bomb crater, the vegetation turned into ashes, and the human flesh turned into mud, make Zijin Mountain more like a large graveyard, a super-large mass grave, where countless Chinese and Japanese soldiers were buried. Walking up it is as soft as walking on the beach. , the shells of the Nanjing Army and the Japanese Army blasted all the soil and rocks on the surface of Zijin Mountain and Nanjing into powder and slag. The crushed soil and rocks were mixed with human flesh and blood, forming sticky, bright red blood mud lumps, and the red mud powder was everywhere. They are all the corpses of dead people, some are complete or basically complete, and more of them are decapitated, torn apart, and there are countless bullet casings, shell fragments, weapon wreckage, military uniform fragments, etc. All kinds of rubbish .

Before the Sino-Japanese War, Nanjing had a population of about 100 million. Before the Nanjing Battle, nine out of ten of the city’s population fled or were relocated by government organizations. After the Sino-Japanese War, Nanjing residents returned to Nanjing one after another, but Nanjing was destroyed by the war. The situation was extremely serious, and it was almost impossible to allow more people to live again, so the population of Nanjing had not returned to the pre-war level until this time.

The reconstruction of Nanjing officially started after the end of the Sino-Japanese War, and it has lasted for about five years. After five years, Nanjing, which can be called "a large ruin full of rubble and scorched earth", has been completely changed.

Before the Battle of Nanjing, all the trees on Zijin Mountain and all the trees in Nanjing City were cut down. Zijin Mountain was pushed a "bald head" and became a barren mountain. The trees planted in the city on the mountain have grown into shape, and there are sprawling sycamore trees in the city, and vegetation all over the mountains and plains once again appeared on the mountain. The trenches, trenches, and tunnels dug out by tens of thousands of Nanjing soldiers and civilians worked hard back then. , Tunnels... Most of them have been filled, and concrete bunkers, fortifications, strongholds, firepower points... Most of them have been demolished, and many have become historical relics or tourist attractions.

Jiang Weiguo looked up at this time, whether it was Zijin Mountain, Nanjing City, or the Xuanwu Lake in the city, they were all full of vitality again. Almost all the buildings in the city were destroyed by the war of the year, and more than [-]% of the buildings in the city were "" Refurbishment” has been completely redone with urban construction planning. The whole city is well-organized and orderly. High-rise buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. However, compared with the expansion of Wuhan, Nanjing’s reconstruction is another style. , Nanjing is not a transportation hub, nor is it a commercial center, it is an ancient cultural capital and a political center, therefore, the planners who reconstructed Nanjing did not intend to turn Nanjing into a metropolis like Shanghai and Wuhan, but to turn it into a city. "Small city in the south of the Yangtze River" is exquisite, beautiful and livable.

Nanjing was rebuilt into such a city at this time, with a population of more than 80.

The snowflakes make the whole city of Nanjing pure and white, but the color of Nanjing is more red at this time. The whole city has already started to decorate, and everyone is beaming.

The reason why Nanjing people are so excited is that New Year's Day is coming. The real reason is that Jiang Weiguo will hold a wedding in Nanjing, which makes the whole city of Nanjing come up with a lively "whole city welcome" in the name of Jiang Weiguo to welcome New Year's Day.

"Seat!" Shu Guosheng climbed up from the bottom of the mountain, and walked to Jiang Weiguo's side with a little panting.

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Two things to report.

First, the Japanese side's 'Women's Sending-off Delegation' has officially arrived. They are all high-ranking officials, and some of them are members of the royal family. They have brought a thick account book of dowry items.

Dear seat, the Japanese gave you a lot of dowries for their bridesmaids. In addition, please allow me to keep a close eye on you. Guess what is the most expensive dowry that the Japanese prepared for Junko? "

"Well..." Jiang Weiguo touched his chin, "Speaking of which, Little Japan is much poorer than Lao Tzu, what good things can they come up with? Lao Tzu is most interested in money now, do they want to marry a hundred tons of gold?"

Shu Guosheng smiled slightly: "An aircraft carrier!"

Chapter 710 The Death of Jiang Weiguo (10)

"What?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback, "Little Japan married an aircraft carrier? Such a generous move?"

"Well, an aircraft carrier!" Shu Guosheng showed an exclamation expression, "It's amazing how generous the Japanese are.

Seat do you remember?The Japanese Navy lost a lot of aircraft carriers on the Pacific battlefield. Its local shipyards are working hard to build new aircraft carriers. The new aircraft carriers under construction by the Japanese are divided into two categories. One is the second batch of Yamato-class heavy-duty aircraft carriers. 4 ships, namely: Taiho, Musashi, Shinano, and Ibuki. One is the Yunlong class of medium-sized aircraft carriers. Six ships were built in batches, namely: Yunlong, Amagi, Katsuragi, and Aso In addition, the Japanese also started to transform two 6-ton large merchant ships Otakiyama Maru and Shimane Maru into aircraft carriers.

Seat, the aircraft carrier that the Japanese gave you as a dowry is the completed Taiho.

Dafeng, Fenghuang, Fengqiuhuang, the names fit the occasion!"

"Tsk tsk, the Japanese are really going to impress me!" Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette and laughed, "To curry favor with me, the Japanese really spent a lot of money!"

"However, the Japanese side said with great guilt that the Taiho was originally planned to be fully completed in early December this year, and then sailed to China on New Year's Day and handed over to the Chinese Navy. Workers made a mistake and a fire broke out. Although the scale of the fire was not large and it was extinguished quickly, this accident must have affected the completion time of the Taifeng. It is estimated that the official completion of the Taifeng will be delayed by one month, so The Japanese side apologizes for not being able to catch up with the wedding on New Year’s Day, which was a fly in the ointment!"

"Oh, let's postpone it by one month!"

"Boss, don't just be happy, don't forget, when it comes to marriage, the woman pays the dowry, and the man also pays the bride price!"

"Betrothal gift? Hehe, I knew there would be no pies in the sky. What kind of betrothal gift do the Japanese want?"

"Of course the Japanese will not directly ask us for things, but hint at us in a roundabout way, saying that they hope that China and Japan will be more friendly and nonsense, saying that this wedding represents a new level of intimacy between China and Japan. Japan treats it with sincerity. China, I hope that China will reciprocate, specifically, I hope to sign a new arms trade contract for China to aid Japan while the iron is hot!"

"Tell me, what do the Japanese want? How much?"

"The Japanese mainly want to buy 3000 fighter jets and 1000 Panther tanks from us!"

"Three thousand fighter jets cost almost $3000 million, one thousand Leopard tanks cost almost $3000 million, a total of $5000 million, and a heavy aircraft carrier cost $[-] million.

Tsk tsk, this marriage is quite uneconomical for me!The bride price is almost three times the dowry! "

"Although the Japanese have thick skins, they are embarrassed to just say that they want these planes and tanks. They say that Japan's economy is difficult and its finances are tight. They really can't afford that much money. They hope to buy them with loans from us. They will batch them after the war. Pay the debt!"

"That's an IOU! Repay the money after the war? Hehe! Will Japan still exist after the war?"

"The Taiho is said to be a dowry, but it is actually a real object that the Japanese exchanged with us for planes and tanks.

The Japanese took out an aircraft carrier as a dowry, which seems to be generous and generous, but in fact, the Japanese want to make a deal with us that is sure to make a profit!"

Jiang Weiguo sneered: "I understand the wishful thinking of the Japanese.

The aircraft carrier is indeed an expensive and important weapon of war, but first, the Japanese can exchange more things with us. The Taiho was "given to us" by them, and they did not lose at all; Second, although the aircraft carrier is important, for the Japanese navy, the importance of the aircraft carrier has begun to decline.

Aircraft carriers are offensive naval weapons. However, the Japanese navy has now shifted to a state of strategic defense on the Pacific battlefield. Compared with aircraft carriers that can launch attacks in enemy waters, the Japanese navy needs defensive weapons more, such as Fighter fighters are used to attack the enemy's air superiority and protect our own ground troops from being bombed. Just like we tried our best to expand the air force fighter force before the Sino-Japanese War and implemented the policy of "fighter first and even fighter only". The Japanese army is the same now. There are also tanks for the Japanese army, a thousand Leopard tanks, if used correctly, can stop [-] American Shermans.

The Japanese are really smart! "

"Boss, how do you plan to reply to the Japanese?"

"Agreed, not agreeing would be too disrespectful to the Japanese. They are all in-laws, how can we not get close? But, [-]% off.

It's not my style to agree to everything. I'm a person who loves money like my life and cares about every penny. If I'm too generous, it's not like me.

To reply to the Japanese, we can only give them [-] fighter jets and [-] Leopard tanks, but we will sell these aircraft and tanks to them cheaply after the Taiho is officially accepted by our navy!" Jiang Weiguo shot away Cigarette butts in hand.

"Okay!" Shu Guosheng nodded, then paused, and said, "The second thing is that the Military Commission has been increasing the garrison troops to the Nanjing area in batches since half a month ago, and it has reached the size of an army. And, none of them are from the Nanjing Army!"

"This is normal!" Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette again, "The National Government will return the capital to Nanjing soon, and Nanjing will soon become the capital again. It is a matter of course for the Military Commission to send more troops to Nanjing!"

"But..." Shu Guosheng was a little hesitant, and he whispered, "We also found that the power of underground organizations such as the Military Command and Central Command in the Nanjing area has also greatly increased compared to before!"

"Which country's capital is not closely protected by its own intelligence agencies?" Jiang Weiguo blew out a smoke ring, "Old Shu, don't think too much, the world is all right, don't bother yourself!"

Shu Guosheng nodded: "I hope so!"

Northeast of the South China Sea, near the Dongsha Islands.

In the boundless sea and sky, a naval transport fleet composed of more than a dozen ships is cutting through the waves in an orderly manner, and each ship is hoisted with the Chinese flag and the flag of the Chinese Navy.

This fleet consists of a heavy cruiser, four destroyers, and ten medium and large transport ships. Each ship is fully loaded with personnel, ordnance, and supplies. It is not fast and has a deep draft.

The task that this fleet is performing is to transport more than 17 officers and soldiers of the 18th Brigade of the [-]th Division originally stationed in South Africa back to the mainland.

The Chinese army is carrying out the "fourth comprehensive rectification". The 17th Division is one of the units undergoing the major rectification. This division is not in the interior, but in southern Africa. The 18th Brigade was the first unit of the division to return to the interior.

In the command room of the fleet flagship "Zhongzheng" heavy cruiser, Ouyang Sihai, the interim commander of the fleet, closed the door gently. Then, he looked at Zhang Yunhe, the commander of the 18th Brigade, who was also in the room with a tacit look. A group of confidants of the two officers.

"It's time?" Zhang Yun buried himself in a cigarette.

Ouyang Sihai nodded: "There are still two hours to arrive in Kaohsiung, Taiwan!"

"Time is enough!" Zhang Yun smothered the cigarette butt in his hand, and then looked at the others with piercing eyes, "Brothers, does anyone repent? This is the last chance to quit.

I definitely don’t blame those who quit, let alone look down on him, everyone has their own ambitions, I understand that others have other ideas, and I will not demand that others think the same as me!”

The officers said: "Traveler, what are you talking about? We are just like you, we are sincere and voluntary!"

"Traveler, hurry up and start, don't waste time!"

"Traveler, are we brothers? If you are brothers, don't speak such nonsense!"

"Of course brothers! Brothers, thank you!" Zhang Yun looked at his subordinates with bright eyes and moved his heart, and then looked back at Ouyang Sihai: "Brother Sihai, let's put on a show!"

"Acting? What kind of play?" Ouyang Sihai smiled.

"You were kidnapped and held by us by force, and you had to submit to us!" Zhang Yun looked at Ouyang Sihai sincerely, "In this way, you can clear up the suspicion afterwards, draw a clear line with us, and don't need to take the blame with us.

Dude, you don't have to!"

"Hehe, Zhang Yun, what kind of tragic hero are you pretending to be in front of me?" Ouyang Sihai showed a contemptuous expression to Zhang Yun, "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up! Remember, don't think that you are the only one who has Conscience, know how to be grateful!"

Zhang Yun stepped forward to hug Ouyang Sihai: "Good brother, thank you!"

Ouyang Sihai kicked Zhang Yun away, then strode to the console, picked up the radio communication intercom inside the fleet, and said in a melodious voice: "Attention all ships, I am Ouyang Sihai, all ships stop advancing immediately; repeat, Attention all ships, I am Ouyang Sihai, all ships stop advancing immediately;..."

All the ships that received the order from Ouyang Sihai began to slow down one after another, and finally stopped on the sea one after another.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Yun took the walkie-talkie in Ouyang Sihai's hand and began to speak to his subordinates:
