I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 333

In the past, although Spain was pro-German, it was not controlled by Germany after all, so Franco did not obey Hitler. Hitler invited Franco to join the Axis powers many times, but Franco was only interested in sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils. Pushing three obstacles to fulfilling responsibilities and obligations, the Spanish army also fought side by side with the German army during World War II (the "Blue Division". , wearing German uniforms to assist the Germans in combat), but Spain has never really contributed to helping Germany.

What Jiang Weiguo asked Hitler to do was to completely control Spain and take it for his own use.

The second major event was the official signing of the alliance treaty by Germany, China and Japan.

On the night of April 4, in a German-style building near the famous Qingdao Catholic Church, high-level representatives from Germany, China and Japan formally signed the Treaty of Cooperation and Mutual Assistance between the German Empire, the Republic of China and the Imperial Japanese Alliance ( It is also called the "Treaty of Qingdao". In fact, the signing of this treaty in Qingdao also has a special meaning. Qingdao used to be and is now Chinese territory. Before World War I, it was a German colony. After World War I, it was blacked out by Japan. He said that both Germany and Japan have "very close connections" with Qingdao.

).

The German signatories were Foreign Minister Ribbentrop and Defense Minister Marshal Blomberg;

Signatories of Japan are Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe, Minister of the Navy and Admiral Kawako Shiro;

The Chinese signatories are Zhang Qun, Secretary-General of the Military Commission, and General Xu Yongchang, Minister of Military Command.

With the signing of this treaty by the representatives of the three countries, Germany, China and Japan formally concluded a military alliance, and the overall situation was completely settled.

This German, Chinese and Japanese Triple Alliance camp was later called the "Allied Powers".

"It's really 'selling yourself'!" After reading the report that the treaty was signed, Jiang Weiguo sighed for a long time. He knew that China had officially boarded the "thief ship" of Germany and was tied up in Germany. On the chariot, the overall situation of history has been completely changed.

Before the treaty was signed, Jiang Weiguo was restless. After the treaty was signed, Jiang Weiguo suddenly calmed down, and he was calm and calm. No matter what the signing of the treaty will bring to China, it has already been signed and it has become a foregone conclusion. , that being the case, instead of thinking wildly, it is better to think about what to do next.

In the final analysis, even if there is still a reluctance, China must sign this treaty, and it can't help but sign it. If you can't get it back, so many cooked ducks will fly away.

For China, this treaty is definitely "beneficial in the moment". As for whether it can be "beneficial in the long run", it is unknown, but it is not an unknown quantity resigned to fate, but one that can be controlled, dominated, and grasped. tried.

Jiang Weiguo has only completed a half of the Long March.

Jiang Weiguo was very emotional. In addition to the emotion brought to him by the treaty, he also felt the vagaries of history.

In the past, Germany, Italy, and Japan formed the Axis Powers. Now, Germany, China, and Japan have formed an alliance. In the past, Xu Yongchang was the representative of China when Japan surrendered. Now, Xu Yongchang is the signing representative of China and Japan. The Chinese signatory representative of the alliance, this change has to make people feel emotional.

Is China's alliance with Germany and Japan dancing with wolves?Jiang Weiguo used to feel, but now he doesn’t feel that, for the benefit of the motherland, let him cooperate with the devil, let him lose his conscience, let him sell his soul and abandon his conscience, he will do everything he can, because Jiang Weiguo is already a consciousness at this time A junior politician who has just started, he understands the fundamental principle of international norms: "interests are eternal".

Any country is mercenary, there are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

In the original history, China formed an alliance with the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union to fight against Japan, Germany, and Italy, because the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union were China's friends?of course not.

Before the Pearl Harbor incident broke out, China had been invaded by Japan for four and a half years. What were the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union doing?What happened to the Tehran conference?What about the Yalta Conference?The Soviet Union is obviously a member of the Allied Powers, but why did it sign the "Non-Aggression Pact" with Japan, which is a member of the Axis Powers?Since the Soviet Union was an ally of China, why did it infiltrate China's Xinjiang during the war, split China's Outer Mongolia, and loot China's Northeast after the war?The United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union sternly accused Germany, Italy, and Japan of trying to carve up the world, but what about themselves?How did the colonies of the British Empire spread all over the world?How did the vast territory of the Soviet Union across the Eurasian continent come about?As an ally of Britain and France, why was Poland attacked by Germany and the Soviet Union in the early days of World War II and divided by Germany and the Soviet Union?What was the Soviet invasion of Finland?The United States, Britain and the Soviet Union kept saying that Hitler was a "demon", but what about them themselves?Stalin killed fewer people than Hitler?At the very least, Hitler basically killed foreigners and foreigners, but Stalin killed his own nationals. The Katyn massacre was a massacre of Poland by the Soviet Union, but it was brazenly framed by the Soviet Union to Germany.

None of them are good things!Where does justice come from?Those who win are naturally righteous.

Jiang Weiguo fully realized this truth, so the Sino-German alliance did not cause him any moral unease. He was only worried that China and Germany might lose the war. As for the alliance between China and Japan, they just used each other, just like the United States and Britain In alliance with the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain were extremely hostile to the Soviet Union, but in order to deal with the common enemy, they formed an alliance of mutual use. After the war, the United States and the Soviet Union immediately fought a cold war.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, all distracting thoughts in Jiang Weiguo's mind have disappeared, and he only thinks about two things next: one is to make every effort to develop national power and military power, and the other is to carefully maximize China's gains in the next world war. Interests.

At this time, Jiang Weiguo's biggest worry is time, and time is running out.

If the original historical trajectory is followed, just five months later, that is, in September 1939, Germany will blitz Poland, and World War II will break out.

Five months is really too short. It is far from enough for China's construction and development.

In fact, China’s construction and development cannot be said to be true for only five months. Excluding the construction and development carried out by the national government itself, Jiang Weiguo began to work on “more forward-looking, far-sighted, systematic After more than half a year, the Sino-Japanese war broke out, and the development affairs fell into difficulty and slowness. The war lasted for one year and three months. On October 1938, 10, China and Japan realized the first A truce was negotiated, development affairs revived, followed by another war in late 1 and early 1938, and now a second truce was achieved.

Generally speaking, China's construction and development have been continuing, only intermittently, with ups and downs, and the two Sino-Japanese wars have greatly depleted China's accumulated national strength and military strength.

In any case, what China needs most urgently at this time is not only money, talents, but also time.

Therefore, after Jiang Weiguo put forward six additional demands to Hitler, he put forward the seventh point.

Jiang Weiguo's seven requirements are:

First, China and Germany jointly develop the atomic bomb, and the atomic bomb development base must be located in China;

Second, Germany must try its best to avoid war with the United States. If Germany goes to war with the United States, China has the right to withdraw from the alliance immediately;

Third, Germany handed over the Jews to China;

Fourth, Germany continues to fully support China;

Fifth, Germany should attack first and only the Soviet Union in the following war;

Sixth, the "integration" of the Chinese navy, the German navy, and the Italian navy (with the French navy and even the British navy that may be controlled by Germany in the future);

Seventh, Germany should not launch a war before January 1940, 1, and how to fight the war, the steps of the war, the respective missions and division of labor of Germany, China and Japan during the war... should be controlled by the headquarters of the Triple Alliance of Germany, China and Japan Negotiate and conclude.

Jiang Weiguo knew very well that in addition to lack of strength, the main reason why Germany lost the battlefield in history was serious strategic mistakes.

If Germany's strategic mistakes can be corrected, the possibility of Germany's victory in the war is very high. At present, China's interests and national destiny have been tied up with Germany to a large extent. Germany's victory will naturally benefit China. Do your best It is what Jiang Weiguo must do to correct Germany's strategic mistakes.

Hitler can be said to be "obedient" to Jiang Weiguo, because he admired Jiang Weiguo very much at this time, because Jiang Weiguo brought him too many surprises and benefits, and Jiang Weiguo's mind, strategy, and eyes all "benefited a lot" Hitler can be regarded as an unprecedented high evaluation-"My instinct tells me that this is a growing Alexander of the East."

Alexander the Great is one of the four greatest genius commanders in European history, and ranks first among the four. The other three are Hannibal, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon.

Alexander was an ancient Greek, and his initial territory was only one of the many city-states in ancient Greece. The land was only tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the population was only hundreds of thousands. At the age of 20, Alexander became the king of the city-state. Started a fabulous journey: within two years, wiped out the opposition, unified ancient Greece, then swept the Middle East, annexed Egypt, attacked the Persian Empire, and wiped out 13 of the Persian Empire with 20 infantry and 13 cavalry. Infantry and 500 cavalry, destroyed the Persian Empire, and then went on an expedition to India, all the way to the Indus River Basin. Within [-] years, a large empire with a territory spanning three continents, Asia, Africa and Europe, with a total area of ​​more than [-] million square kilometers was established.

Hitler did praise Jiang Weiguo, but Jiang Weiguo and Alexander are indeed somewhat similar. The biggest similarity is that Alexander started his brilliant career at the age of 20 and died young at the age of 32. Jiang Weiguo is also " Conquer the world at a young age."

Because he admired Jiang Weiguo very much, Hitler attached great importance to Jiang Weiguo's suggestion, and readily agreed to "establish an alliance headquarters", and expressed his desire to invite Jiang Weiguo to serve as a "special adviser" to the German General Staff and directly participate in the center of Germany's war plan.

Jiang Weiguo has started to be busy again, and it is not convenient for him to appear directly in public (after all, according to the National Government, Jiang Weiguo was seriously injured and nearly died, and if he does not recuperate for half a year, Jiang Weiguo will definitely not be alive and kicking), only in the office He handles official documents inside, and the official documents sent to him every day are almost packed in sacks. The expansion of the army, the management of six provinces and one city, and the resettlement of Jews are all top priorities.

After the second Sino-Japanese peace talks and armistice, Germany began to release the Jews in Germany. With the signing of the Triple Alliance Treaty between Germany, China and Japan, Germany even gave the green light to the Jews in its territory. However, the green light only leads to China.

Jiang Weiguo not only saved millions or even tens of millions of his compatriots, but also saved millions of Jews. Because of his intervention, the "Holocaust" in history did not happen. Germany is still anti-Semitic, but no longer Extermination of Jews is just "expelling Jews" and "expelling Jews". They looted all the Jews and sent them to China. It is estimated that no more than 500 Jews died directly or indirectly in the hands of Nazi Germany, and 90.00% of them were more than [-]% He was rescued by Jiang Weiguo.

After Shanghai and Tianjin were occupied by the Japanese, Qingdao and Fuzhou replaced them, especially Qingdao, which became the new largest international port in China, with ships from overseas countries coming in and out day and night (there were also Japanese ships , but is restricted.

After the resumption of trade between China and Japan, most of the Japanese ships coming to China went to the Japanese-occupied Shanghai and the Japanese-occupied Tianjin, making Shanghai and Tianjin ports two major windows for Sino-Japanese maritime trade.

).

A huge number of Jews came to China to work, live or settle temporarily through Qingdao. The Jews in Germany were basically wiped out within four to five months. Almost all of them came to China. Although there is no need for Jews from countries other than Germany to come China, but according to the Sino-Jewish Cooperation Treaty, Jewish organizations thanked Jiang Weiguo for saving 40 Jews in Germany, and carried out the "Great Eastward Migration of Jews" with faith. As a result, Jews from Europe, America and other places came to China continuously. , came to Jiang Weiguo's territory, causing the number of Jews in China to show an explosive surge.

In 1939 alone, more than 400 million Jews came to China (mostly European Jews, a small number of Jews from the United States and other places), and the number continued to rise.

Such a large number of Jews not only brought tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of technical personnel and technical personnel to China, but also brought hundreds of millions of huge sums of money. The worry-ridden Jiang Weiguo is no less than the rain when there is a severe drought.

On the other hand, in order to prevent so many Jews from causing an impact on the local Chinese society, and to prevent the problem of "it is easy to ask God to send God away" that has a low probability but has to be prevented, Jiang Weiguo came up with a set of "come to China". Jewish household registration system”, every Jew who comes to China needs to apply for an ID card and a temporary residence permit (Jews with Chinese nationality do not need it), and Jews who come to China try not to mix with local Chinese residents on a large scale (for business, teaching, work, etc. Except), centralized living is implemented. For example, Handan has abundant coal resources (about 40 billion tons) and iron ore resources (about 4.8 million tons). Jiang Weiguo built large-scale mining farms, steel factories, power plants and other industrial facilities in Handan. Jewish technical talents were needed, so Jiang Weiguo set aside a place in the suburbs of Handan as a "concentrated residential area for Jews who temporarily live and work in Handan". The Handan government helped Jews build houses, roads, and living facilities, forming a "Jewish Township", and then slowly developed into a "Jewish Town", and then slowly developed into a "Jewish Quarter" or even a "Jewish City", and so on, and so on. Districts can be said to be dotted and blooming everywhere, as many as hundreds, mainly distributed near big cities (commercial) and mineral production areas (industry).

Regarding the public security issues in these concentrated Jewish areas, the Chinese police and the Jewish police are jointly responsible, and Chinese laws also apply to these Jews in China.

It takes one's own strength to strike iron, and Jiang Weiguo knows this truth very well.

If China wants to be self-reliant, rejuvenated, and rise, it needs China to have strong strength. In the past few years (including when Jiang Weiguo had not started to interfere in history), China has always relied on Germany. Of course, China can rely on Germany. After all, Sino-German cooperation is mutually beneficial. Win-win, but China cannot become dependent on Germany.

Relying on the power of Germany must be placed in the second place, and the first is China's self-improvement.

If China wants to strengthen itself, comprehensive cooperation with the Jews is one of the necessary measures.

After all, the Germans have their own country, but the Jews do not. China uses the wisdom and money of the Jews to make China self-reliant. This is also the reflection of the thinking used by Chu Caijin.

"I'm so fucking tired!" Jiang Weiguo sighed, "I should hire a secretary!"

On April 4th, Jiang Weiguo made a very important decision. At the same time, a major incident occurred in Europe. In addition, an important person requested to be interviewed by Jiang Weiguo.

"There is a senior minister or member of the British government named Winston Churchill. This person may become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom!" Jiang Weiguo called Shu Guosheng into the office, "Kill him, and use a disguised accidental way to kill!"

Shu Guosheng said bluntly, "I understand!" He didn't need to ask why he did this, he just needed to perform this task.

The big thing that happened on the European side was: Italy launched a war of aggression against Albania.

The important person who requested to be interviewed by Jiang Weiguo was Zhang Xueliang.

Chapter 404 In full swing (1)

In the entire winter battle, the most tragic battle was naturally the Battle of Chengde. The Nanjing Army suffered more than [-] officers and soldiers, and the people of Chengde suffered more than [-] casualties. , the defense of Chengde occupies an important position in the winter battle. Firstly, the soldiers and civilians of Chengde contained a large number of Japanese troops. Because the Nanjing Army and the people of Chengde were sticking to Chengde, the Japanese were forced to make concessions at the negotiating table and returned Rehe Province to China (Jiang Weiguo asked Xu Yongchang to firmly return Rehe Province at the negotiating table, and another The important reason is that he does not want to disappoint the people of Chengde. Chen Mingren once swore before the Chengde defense war that "Chengde will never fall again." Frost hurts the country, and the people's hearts cannot be deceived, violated, or played with), it can be said that the defense of Chengde played a major role in the winter battle.

The reason why this defensive battle was won is what Chen Mingren said: firstly, it relied on the loyal people of Chengde, and secondly, it relied on the desperate support of brother troops (mainly Han Bingchen's mobile unit, which destroyed the Japanese heavy artillery unit by sacrificing himself, which greatly contributed to the victory. assisted the pressure of the soldiers and civilians defending the city), three relied on the bloody fighting of all officers and soldiers of the 17th Division, and four relied on Zhang Xueliang's "help".

Why did Chen Mingren say that one of the reasons for the victory in the Chengde Defense War was Zhang Xueliang's "help"?Because during the war, Zhang Xueliang came to Chengde by airborne, and then relied on his special identity to play a big role.

After the Xi’an Incident, Zhang Xueliang was sentenced to [-] years in prison and deprived of his citizenship rights for five years by the Supreme Military Court of the Military Commission. Strictly controlled by the Military Commission", in other words, Zhang Xueliang is no longer a criminal in jurisprudence, because he was released by amnesty, but he was "strictly controlled", so he was imprisoned.

During the war, Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned in Yangming Cave, Xiuwen County, Guizhou Province (Yang Hucheng was also imprisoned here. After the Xi’an Incident, Yang Hucheng was removed from all positions by Chiang Kai-shek and ordered to "go abroad for inspection", which was actually expelled. , exiled overseas, but after the outbreak of the war, Yang Hucheng sneaked back to China secretly. The Manchu army adopted Cheng Kang's proposal and asked Jiang Weiguo "can Zhang Xueliang be transferred to the Chengde battlefield to disintegrate the hearts of the puppet Manchurian soldiers?" After repeated consideration, Jiang Weiguo felt that this proposal was very feasible. After approval, they sent someone to notify Zhang Xueliang, asking whether the "non-resistance general" who insisted that everything he did was for the resistance against Japan would be willing to go to the forefront of the resistance against Japan.

After Zhang Xueliang learned of this event that greatly surprised and astonished him, he had no way of knowing the specific psychological changes and thought activities. In the end, he chose to be willing.

However, when Zhang Xueliang set off, Chengde City had already been surrounded by the Japanese and puppet regiments, so the Maritime Control Bureau contacted the Air Force to send Zhang Xueliang to the sky above Chengde City by plane and let him parachute to the ground.

Zhang Xueliang who came to the battlefield of Chengde did play a special role.

The commander-in-chief of the Puppet Manchukuo Army that assisted the Japanese in attacking the city was Rong Zhen, the former chief of staff of the Northeast Army (when the September 7th Incident broke out, Zhang Xueliang was in Beiping, so Rong Zhen was in charge of military affairs in Shenyang. After the Kwantung Army launched an attack, Rong Zhen I asked Zhang Xueliang for instructions and got the instruction of "non-resistance". At that time, the [-]th Brigade of the Northeast Army and other troops were filled with righteous indignation after the Kwantung Army launched an attack and demanded resistance. Rong Zhen replied: "Don't resist! Don't move! Put the gun in the warehouse Stand up to die, everyone will be benevolent, and sacrifice for the country!" But not long after, the chief of staff of the Northeast Army who asked his subordinates to "stand up to die" and "sacrifice for the country" surrendered to the Japanese and became a contemptible traitor and traitor. The lackeys of the Japanese.

), Zhang Xueliang and Rong Zhen are naturally familiar with each other, and the two are also very personal. Under the arrangement of Chen Mingren, Zhang Xueliang used the tape recorder to say some heartfelt and earnest words to persuade Rong Zhen to surrender, and then secretly sent someone to give the tape to Rongzhen outside the city used the plan to rebel against Rongzhen.

Although Rong Zhen has some talents, he is essentially a speculator. He descended to the sun because he believed that the Japanese were powerful and China could not resist Japan's defeat and annexation of China. But right now, he saw that the Japanese army was defeated by the Nanjing Army. Pressing and beating, the Japanese were taken back piece by piece by the Chinese army in the occupied areas of China, so he regretted it again in his heart. The feeling of being a traitor is naturally uncomfortable. The Chinese do not regard traitors as Chinese, and the Japanese also Don't regard the traitors as Japanese, the traitors are completely "not human inside and out".

After the sun fell, Rong Zhen's life has been difficult, especially at this time when he saw that the Japanese seemed to be unable to hold on, he didn't want to be buried with the Japanese.

After listening to Zhang Xueliang's sincere words in the tape to persuade him to "rein in the precipice, know the way back, and turn back to the shore", Rong Zhen was deeply touched. In addition, the Haitong agent who gave the tape to him also told him that if he Abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, the Maritime Bureau will immediately rescue his family in the Japanese-occupied area (Rong Zhen has a son named Rong Ziheng who is not in the Japanese-occupied area, but is a regimental commander in the national army), and the Military Commission will also declare to the outside world that "Rong Zhen has a son named Rong Ziheng who is not in the Japanese-occupied area. General Zhen accepted the secret order of the Military Commission, sacrificed his reputation, endured humiliation, and surrendered to the sun, so as to sneak into the Japanese army and collect Japanese intelligence for the national army to counter the Japanese army's counterattack in the Northeast."

Rong Zhen was both surprised and happy about this. If he did this, his notoriety as a traitor would be washed away at once. Coupled with the persuasion of the old chief Zhang Xueliang, the situation between China and Japan seemed to be unfavorable to the Japanese, so he basically Without too much hesitation, he chose to "abandon darkness and turn to light".

Because of Rongzhen's secret anyway, the puppet Manchukuo army on the Chengde battlefield was quickly disintegrated.

According to Chen Mingren's instructions, Rong Zhen handed over a large amount of information about the Puppet Manchukuo Army to the Nanjing Army, and did as Chen Mingren said, deliberately allowing two brigades of the Puppet Manchukuo Army to sneak into the Nanjing Army's ambush circle in a certain battle. It was completely annihilated. Next, Rong Zhen was reprimanded by the senior generals of the Japanese army. Using this as an excuse, he called all the brigade commanders, regimental commanders and some battalion commanders of the Puppet Manchukuo Army to hold a "reflection meeting" to make the Puppet Manchukuo Army Almost all high-ranking officers were killed by the Nanjing Army's raiding force, causing the "dragons" of the puppet Manchukuo army on the Chengde battlefield to be leaderless and plunged into extreme chaos. Army, before leaving, he informed the Nanjing Army of the location where the Japanese and puppet army's supplies were hoarded, so that the Nanjing army successfully destroyed and seized a large number of Japanese and puppet army's supplies.

After such an internal and external cooperation, although there were still nearly [-] puppet Manchukuo troops on the Chengde battlefield, they were completely defeated, and Zhang Xueliang personally shouted at the puppet Manchukuo army as a "young commander" on the front line, causing many puppet Manchukuo soldiers to fight against the enemy. The Manchu army surrendered to the Nanjing army.

The Puppet Manchukuo Army on the Chengde battlefield was disintegrated by the Nanjing Army in this way. Without the Puppet Manchukuo Army's assistance, the strength of the Japanese army was greatly weakened, which directly promoted the final victory of the Chengde Defense War.

The reason why the Puppet Manchukuo Army was disintegrated was because Rong Zhen was instigated against, and the reason why Rong Zhen was instigated was because of the appearance of Zhang Xueliang (in fact, Rong Zhen was instigated to a large extent because he regretted being a traitor and wanted to speculate again, Zhang Xueliang’s Persuasion is only a motivator.

Of course, Rong Zhen will definitely not say his selfishness is the main reason for his "abandoning the dark and turning to the bright", he will say that the reason why he is involuntary in the first place, coupled with the persuasion of the "Young Commander", has completely awakened ), therefore, Zhang Xueliang "indispensably contributed" to the victory in the defense of Chengde.

Because Zhang Xueliang made great contributions, and Zhang Xueliang was very brave in this battle, fulfilling his preface of "everything I do is for the resistance against Japan" (after all, it really takes courage to parachute to the front line by plane, and in addition, the battle in Chengde at that time Unknown, if Chengde falls, Zhang Xueliang may die in Chengde, so Zhang Xueliang did "risk his life" when he came to the battlefield of Chengde), Chiang Kai-shek is inconvenient to imprison Zhang Xueliang, that would be a naked "killing Donkey", so Chiang Kai-shek hasn't ordered where Zhang Xueliang should be transferred or re-locked for a while. Right now, Zhang Xueliang has no other place to go, and he can't "run around casually", so he temporarily lives in Beiping.

The headquarters of Jiang Weiguo's "North China Political Affairs Committee" is in Beiping, and Jiang Weiguo himself is naturally in Beiping. Zhang Xueliang came to him at this time.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang is here, it really makes my humble room bright! I don't know what the Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang wants from me?" Jiang Weiguo greeted Zhang Xueliang with a smile.

Zhang Xueliang smiled wryly: "Second Young Master, don't make fun of me. I'm no deputy commander in chief. I'm just a homeless commoner!" He looked sad.
