"Jingle Bell……"
At this time, the phone placed on the cabinet next to Luo Yaoguo's bed rang suddenly, awakening the beauty in Luo Yaoguo's arms. Natalie picked up the phone and listened, then quickly woke up Marshal Luo who was sleeping like a dead pig .Luo Yaoguo yawned, opened his bloodshot eyes, and took the phone from Natalie.Weakly said: "I am Luo Yaoguo, what's the matter?"
"Teacher, I'm Sun Yuanliang." The voice of Lieutenant General Sun Yuanliang, Director of the Communications Department of the General Staff Department, came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh, it's Yuanliang! What's the matter?" Luo Yaoguo frowned. Sun Yuanliang is his confidant. Although he is unreliable in fighting, he is good at handling affairs. The chief of staff who disturbs daily affairs at such a big night Going to sleep, presumably something must have happened.
"Teacher, I just received an urgent message from the expedition fleet. The German High Seas Fleet has already dispatched. Our expedition fleet has also been incorporated into the High Seas Fleet and set off together! The target is a British squadron to transport troops to the port of Bergen. It has 3 battlecruisers, 2 aircraft carriers, and 25 transport ships."
"What!?" Luo Yaoguo suddenly sat up from the bed, where was there a trace of sleepiness on his face?He reached out and patted Natalie's big breasts lightly, then pointed to the clothes hanger in the room.The beauty understood, got out of bed immediately, and began to dress up.However, Luo Yaoguo continued to speak into the microphone: "Yuan Liang, you should immediately notify Minister of the Navy Chen Hualong (Chen Si), Minister of Colonial Affairs Zeng Muhan, Minister of Defense He Jingzhi, Minister of the Air Force Li Fengming (Li Shunen), Deputy Chief of Staff Xue Boling, General Staff Chief of Operations Yan Wu, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau Wu Chonglou and others all went to the No. [-] War Room of the General Staff for a meeting."
After giving the order to convene an emergency military meeting, he hung up the phone and got off the bed. At this time, Natalie had finished dressing, and began to serve Luo Yaoguo to get dressed.While serving, he asked in a low voice: "Fuwen, is there going to be a big battle?"
"Well. It's going to be a big battle." Natalie is his deputy secretary-general and confidential secretary, and naturally he has nothing to hide from her. Luo Yaoguo took a deep breath and replied: "The German High Seas Fleet and our The expedition fleet has already launched an attack, and it is estimated that they will be able to decide the outcome with the British around the 20th. So our Nanyang Fleet and Nanyang Front Army should also act... tonight is to give orders, in fact, they have already prepared Yes, we can set off at any time, and after spending a few more days on the road, we will be able to land on the Malay Peninsula around the 22nd, and we will be able to capture Singapore at the beginning of next month at the latest."
"Then who do you think will win the battle at sea between Yingde and Germany?" Natalie asked again.
"That's hard to say, it depends on luck."
"Wars depend on luck?"
Luo Yaoguo smiled, "That's right, I don't believe that the British's local fleet would divide their troops stupidly, they must have a plan, but the Germans are not fuel-efficient, and it's not 1916 now, the number of battleships is not decisive factor, air superiority is the key. Therefore, I estimate that the German High Seas Fleet should face the British mainland fleet in the North Sea, and there will definitely be their own air forces to assist in the battle. The Germans have a strong air force and the British have more warships. A close battle. As for the outcome...sometimes it really depends on luck."
"So, the British also have the possibility of victory?" Natalie frowned beautifully, a trace of solemnity flashed across her pretty face.
"Of course." While speaking, Luo Yaoguo was already dressed neatly, and he took Natalie and walked out together, saying while walking, "But don't worry, the German navy may not be able to win, but their army And the air force is still enough to overwhelm Britain and France. So there is no risk of defeat on our side, you man, I want to write history!"
At this moment, the two had already walked downstairs, and three large BMW 24 bulletproof cars on standby 1937 hours a day had parked in the yard, and a team of fully armed guards stood on both sides of the car.As Luo Yaoguo's power grew, his security became more and more stringent.The road from Beilu to the General Staff Headquarters or the Presidential Palace is naturally patrolled by military police 24 hours a day. There are also a large number of guards in Beilu, and every time he travels, he is surrounded by bodyguards with live ammunition.
Luo Yaoguo randomly stepped into one of the cars, and then, the three cars started at the same time, left Bei Lu one by one, and sped towards the direction of the General Staff Headquarters.
……
In the Pacific Ocean, about 50 nautical miles northwest of Oahu, it is now 1938:11 in the morning on November 18, 2, but dazzling lights are shining everywhere on the entire ocean.There are more than 100 warships and transport ships of different sizes, lined up in an anti-submarine formation, and slowly walking in a zigzag route on the sea.However, the fleet's voyage route is only going in circles in the northeast ocean of Oahu Island.This fleet is naturally the Japanese combined fleet that has stayed in the waters near Hawaii for 12 days.
In the United Fleet Command Center of the United Fleet flagship Nagato, the lights are even brighter at this moment.All the staff members of the Combined Fleet Command gathered in front of the large chart platform, discussing a lot, and everyone looked serious.Although the sneak attack was a great success and the battle to capture Hawaii was progressing smoothly, it did not mean that the war would soon be won.After all, the United States is the most powerful industrial country in the world. Even China and Germany are very afraid of it. How can a small Japan defeat it?Not to mention defeat, even if it is to maintain the war situation, it may be difficult to do without material assistance from China and Germany...
The commander, Lieutenant General Yamamoto 56, stared at the yellow newspaper in his hand with a straight face. He didn't speak for a long time, and everyone looked at him intently and breathlessly.The night was getting dark, the sea wind was howling outside, and the atmosphere was chilling.Yamamoto finally spoke, "Three aircraft carriers passed through the Panama Canal 3 days ago. This is the news from the German side."
Since Japan does not have an intelligence network in the Panama Canal, it cannot grasp the information that the ships of the US Atlantic Fleet are transferred to the Pacific Ocean through the Canal in time.Information can only be obtained through the "potential ally" Germany, and delays are naturally inevitable.
United Fleet Chief of Staff Ugaki frowned, "It looks like the U.S. aircraft carrier left the battleship and attacked alone! The speed of the aircraft carrier is much faster than that of the battleship. In 10 days...calculated at an average speed of 15 knots, the U.S. aircraft carrier is almost gone. We've reached the waters off Hawaii! If their goal is Pearl Harbor."
The face of Yamamoto 56 calmed down. The 3 US aircraft carriers should be the USS Yorktown, the USS Wasp, and the USS Ranger. In addition to the USS Enterprise that slipped through the net, there are only 4 aircraft carriers, and the number of carrier-based aircraft is 400. ...Although the F4F fighter jets equipped on American aircraft carriers (which were also premature) are much more advanced than the Type 96, those American pilots are slack in training, and they cannot be compared with the rigorously trained Japanese pilots.Therefore, his confidence in winning this battle is still very sufficient, at least he can remain invincible.He asked lightly, "Have you found anything from the sentinel submarine?"
Yu Yuantang's expression was much more severe than that of Yamamoto, and a thin layer of sweat had unconsciously appeared on his forehead.He is well aware that Japan's national strength is weak, and he is simply playing a gamble that he cannot afford to lose.He took a deep breath and replied: "The submarines on the outskirts of the guard haven't found anything yet, and it's also possible that the US aircraft carrier is still waiting for the battleship, so it hasn't approached Hawaii."
Yamamoto 56 raised his eyebrows, turned his head and glanced at the stinky "immortal advisor" Kameto Kuroshima, and said, "Kuroshima-kun, what do you think?"
Hei Dao walked to the chart platform, folded his arms, stared at it for a moment, and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I have a feeling that the US aircraft carrier should have arrived near the Hawaiian Islands, but it has not been discovered yet." Here, he chuckled, "Perhaps the Americans also want to follow our lead in sneak attacks? We might as well hide in the deep sea, let the army attack Pearl Harbor with all its strength, and force the US fleet to show up as soon as possible."
"Yoshi! Let's do this! Order, the whole fleet turns its course, and the target is 150 nautical miles northwest of Oahu Island, and advance at full speed!" Yamamoto nodded with satisfaction. The principle of confrontation between aircraft carriers is to strike first and then suffer disaster.Although the number of opponents is far less than their own, if they really want to find their own fleet first, maybe the Americans will really turn the tables, and the Japanese Empire will be completely over...
……
Ever since he set foot on the land of China, Dimitrov's expression has been very serious. At this moment, he, Zhang Wentian and Zuo Quan are sitting in a luxurious box on a train bound for Baotou, and the three of them are discussing something in a low voice.Dimitrov didn't know until he got on the train that the CCP was going to send troops to "liberate" the people of all ethnic groups in India. This news made him nervous.The purpose of his trip was originally to bridge the differences between the two parties in China and the Soviet Union, and restore the unity and unity of the Communist International. However, if the CCP wants to "liberate" India, it will inevitably lead to a war between Britain and the CCP, and Britain is now the main ally of the Soviet Union. , The current situation in the Soviet Union absolutely cannot turn its face against Britain.
Zuo Quan just informed him that the CCP has formed the South Asian Army of the Comintern (known to the outside world as the South Army Corps), which has about 20 troops (so-called), and has already boarded ships from Dagu Port in Tianjin and headed south.
Judging from this posture, the CCP is determined to "liberate" India, and the split of the Communist International is inevitable. The future of the entire international communist movement is even more bleak.
Zhang Wentian also seemed a little anxious. After Wang Ming was isolated and inspected, he even reviewed his mistakes to the central government and expressed his position. Therefore, he was not hit and re-entered the Politburo.He knew that this was because most comrades in the CCP had deep feelings for the Soviet Union, and the central government had to stabilize people's hearts, so his status was promoted.However, if the CCP and the Soviet Union once again clashed over the "liberation" of India, which eventually led to the complete disintegration of the Communist International, what would be good!
Zuoquan was very much in favor of "liberating" India, although he had also participated in the defense of Moscow as an internationalist fighter, and he was well aware of the reactionary and powerful Chinese and German imperialism.The final result of this world war is likely to be that China and Germany dominate the world... In this case, the main task of the International Communist Movement is to maintain strength, and India is the best base to preserve revolutionary strength.Therefore, the policy of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to use the power of imperialism to expand the revolutionary power is completely correct.
The three argued all the way, and no one could convince the other. Before they knew it, the train had passed Zhangjiakou and slowly entered the heavily guarded Zhangbei Railway Station.
Chapter 0799 Admiral's decision (eight) encircle Wei and save Zhao
The train that Dimitrov and the three of them took stopped at Zhangbei Railway Station for nearly 30 minutes. Just as the three of them were secretly feeling strange, the door of the box opened.Zhao Shiyan, secretary-general of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, walked in with a faint smile, walked up to Zuo Quan, talked with him in a low voice, and then said loudly to Dimitrov: "Chairman Zhou and Vice Chairman Mao just got on the bus, Comrades Dimitrov and Zhang Wentian are invited to meet."
Dimitrov and Zhang Wentian followed Zhao Shiyan into a special train arranged like a conference room, and saw Zhou Enlai sitting in the first seat, Mao Zedong sitting next to him, and a map of the South Asian subcontinent was hung behind them. Mitrov saw at a glance that the red arrow on the map was pointing to the Bengal region of East India from both sea and land.
After the three sat down, Zhou Enlai spoke fluent German. He said to Dimitrov: "Comrade Dimitrov, we have just been notified that the Chinese National Defense Force is about to launch an attack on South Asia and the Indochina Peninsula; we Although our Southward Army Corps will not participate in this stage of operations, we will enter India and liberate the working people of India after Burma and Singapore are captured by the National Defense Forces. Our operation this time is based on Comrade Lenin's revolutionary theory , is completely in line with the current world revolutionary situation, and I hope that the Executive Committee of the Communist International will stand with us.”
Zhou Enlai's tone was unquestionable, and his attitude was extremely firm. Dimitrov sighed in his heart. It seemed that the split of the International Communist Movement was inevitable.
"Comrade Enlai," Dimitrov shook his head to Zhou Enlai with a troubled expression on his face, "The Executive Committee of the Communist International believes that it is the emerging fascism that poses a major threat to the international communist movement, not Britain, France, etc. Old-fashioned imperialism. Therefore, defeating the two major fascist totalitarian countries, China and Germany, is the primary guarantee for the victory of the world revolution. The Communist International hopes that the CCP can stand at the height of the common cause of all mankind and fight with the World Anti-Fascist Alliance.” Said Here, he deliberately raised his voice again, squeezed out a smile, and said, "In addition, I can also tell your party good news. Britain, France and the Soviet Union have reached an agreement and decided to support the CCP as the leading force of the new China after the war. "
Zhou Enlai and Dimitrov had a conversation in German, and Zhao Shiyan acted as an interpreter beside Mao Zedong. When he said that Britain, France and the Soviet Union would support the CCP as the leading force in the new post-war China, Mao Zedong showed a trace of sarcasm and interjected. He said: "Then we are here to thank the Soviet Union and Britain and France for their kindness." He stood up, waved his hand, and said with great confidence: "However, we Chinese Communists have always grown and grown by self-reliance, and we do not need Britain and France. Su's help! As for seizing the post-war Chinese regime, our party can also do it through its own strength, it is completely possible."
"Although the masses of the people are confused by the Kuomintang's reactionary line of aggression and expansion, they hope that after the Chinese imperialists gain world hegemony, they will share the spoils of war and improve their poor lives. However, this is obviously unrealistic, because so many years of World history has told us that all imperialism implements a policy of external expansion and internal oppression. Even if they obtain amazing benefits in foreign wars, they will never let the people share them. So, wait until the end of the war The true face of Chinese imperialism will inevitably be exposed, the masses of the people will inevitably stand by our party, and the anti-war democratic united front will also achieve unprecedented development. Even the patriotic officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces will recognize the true face of Chinese imperialism. It's entirely possible to come to our side."
After listening to Mao Zedong's speech translated by Zhao Shiyan, Dimitrov almost fainted from anger!These Chinese Communists can really fool around, and what they say is more true.He sneered and retorted: "As far as I know, there are many imperialist countries in the world who are in power. They will use the exploitation of colonies to improve the living standards of the people in the country in order to buy people's hearts. For example, the United Kingdom and France exploit colonies. , so that the lives of the people in the country have been significantly improved. And some farmers in the United States have acquired large tracts of land at low prices during the movement to develop the west. This situation seems to be repeating itself in China now, right?"
What Dimitrov said is true. During this period, the national government is stepping up efforts to organize immigrants to reclaim land in Siberia and Central Asia... Any Chinese citizen who is willing to farm there can get 100 acres of land for free And a low-interest loan of 1000 yuan in legal currency, and there is no need to pay any taxes within 10 years.Therefore, since 1938, the trains traveling from west to north have been filled with beaming Chinese peasants, even the train Dimitrov took is no exception!
"Since Sino-German imperialism is the same as Anglo-French imperialism, why should we stand on the side of Anglo-French imperialism and oppose Sino-German imperialism?" Zhou Enlai asked back with a smile: "Is it because of the fact that Anglo-French imperialism is worthless?" A promise of money?"
Dimitrov was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer, but Zhou Enlai hurriedly answered. "Comrade Dimitrov, the situation of the current world war has become very clear. After the Soviet Union basically perished, the Chinese and German imperialists have been invincible. Moreover, Japan has severely damaged the US naval power not long ago! Now China and Germany have an overwhelming advantage not only on land, but also at sea. At least in the entire Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean, there is no force that can compete with China's Nanyang Fleet. Under such circumstances, the International Communist Movement You should choose to cooperate with the side that will win, not to be the sacrificial object of the loser."
Collaborate with fascism?Dimitrov frowned, and wanted to shake his head, but Zhou Enlai's voice sounded again, and he said: "The failure of the Soviet Union has shown us the mistakes of Stalinism, and his mistakes are mainly 'a National Socialism'. Because when the power of international capitalism occupies an overwhelming advantage, they will not allow a country that implements socialist public ownership to survive. If Stalin had followed Lenin's new economic line and used development capital If we use doctrine to strengthen the power of socialism, allow the people to get rich, and allow foreign capitalists to make profits in the Soviet Union, will the capitalist world unite against the Soviet Union?"
"But the capitalist countries are still hostile to socialism!" Dimitrov argued emphatically.
"Really?" Zhou Enlai smiled, "Isn't Germany also practicing socialism? What they practice is state socialism, which means centralizing power politically, adopting a planned market economy economically, and developing state-owned socialism." At the same time, it also guarantees the safety of private capital.” He smiled wryly, and continued: “No matter how reactionary the policy of aggression and expansion of the German Nazi Party was, the economic policies they implemented were undoubtedly very successful and worthy of our attention. For reference. In fact, each country has its own national conditions. Different national conditions lead to different socialist development paths. We should formulate a feasible socialist development path according to the national conditions of each country, instead of blindly copying the Soviet model that has been cast aside by history. Don't you think so, Comrade Dimitrov?"
"But, but..." Dimitrov's eloquence was indisputable in the face of the fact that the Soviet Union failed, and even if Zhou Enlai was rendered speechless, so what?It is true that the Soviet Union basically perished under the siege of the imperialist countries!
Seeing that the other party was speechless, Mao Zedong struck while the iron was hot and asked again: "Comrade Dimitrov, what kind of country do you think is a socialist country?"
Dimitrov thought for a while and replied: "Of course it is a country that is led by the Communist Party politically and implements socialist public ownership economically."
Mao Zedong smiled, and asked again: "What kind of political party is the Communist Party? Is it enough to hang a Communist Party sign?"
Dimitrov glanced at Mao Zedong angrily, and replied: "Of course not, only the branch of the Third International can be considered a Communist Party."
"That is to say, is it only the Communist Party that is recognized by your Third International? Is it socialism? If there is no recognition by the Third International, even if distribution according to needs is realized, it is not communism?" Mao Zedong laughed, "If the Chinese Kuomintang gets If your Third International recognizes China, then China is also a socialist country? When will your Third International not recognize our CCP, then we will not be a Communist Party, so we can only be dissolved? I think this day, maybe not Is it too far away?"
Dimitrov was taken aback when he heard the words, and felt that the two Chinese communists in front of him were talking nonsense, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that it made sense.Since its establishment, the Communist International seems to have monopolized the right to certify socialism and the Communist Party!After the Chinese Expeditionary Force completely wiped out Stalin's remnants of defeated soldiers, they captured the Executive Committee of the Communist International and put their guns on everyone's foreheads.
"Vice Chairman Mao is quite right." Zhou Enlai smiled. Today he and Mao Zedong traveled all the way to Zhangbei to lobby Dimitrov, a lobbyist sent by Stalin. The boss has been shaken, so he is naturally beaming.
"Because the Communist International was hijacked by Stalinists in the past, it became a tool for Stalin to play with power. Now is a good opportunity to get rid of Stalin's control." Zhou Enlai frowned slightly and sighed, "If the Communist International does not seize this opportunity , when Stalin's remnants are completely wiped out, the Executive Committee of the Comintern is likely to fall into the hands of the fascists in China and Germany, which will bring a devastating blow to the world revolution! Therefore, we, the Eastern Bureau of the Comintern, hope that you can stay in the China, and called on influential communist leaders from all over the world to come to China and rebuild the Executive Committee of the Communist International in China.”
……
Comrade Dimitrov's "illegal entry" into China to meet with the leaders of the Communist Party of China naturally did not hide from the eyes of the agents of the Central Bureau of Investigation.However, Mr. Luo didn't have the time to care about such trivial matters at the moment.He is now sitting in the command center of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, and all his attention is attracted by the simultaneous battles in Southeast Asia, Hawaii, and the North Sea.These three battles were three-dimensional wars in which the sea, land and air forces were dispatched together, and the outcome was directly related to the final direction of World War II.
