7.22 Exploitation

Soviet Ambassador to China Bogomolov, led by Qian Dajun, led by the military attache of the embassy and several high-ranking Soviet officers to China, went to the hall of the Meilu, and the smiling supreme authorities shook hands with them one by one. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Bogomolov brought a strong delegation to the table, and the highest authorities, naturally, were not going to go into battle alone. Wuhan government officials who attended the talks were Chen Bui, Wang Panghui, and Huang Haoran, who joined on an ad hoc basis. Among them, Wang Panghui, who was the minister of foreign affairs, arrived the latest, and before he could even explain to the highest authorities why the foreign ministry had not made a statement on Japan, the Soviet convoy drove outside the gate of Meilu.

After the supreme authorities dropped the sentence "I'll talk to you after the Soviets are gone," they didn't look at Wang Panghui again, and this attitude of the supreme authorities made Wang Panghui, who hurried to Meilu, feel a lot of ups and downs.

In order to prevent Wang Panghui from being unable to comprehend the meaning of the words of the highest authorities in the upcoming talks, Chen Bui seized the time to start teaching Wang Panghui a make-up lesson. Listening to Chen Bui's guidance, Wang Panghui nodded gratefully while desperately wiping his sweat!

He had to make atonement for his sins! If Wang Panghui, the foreign minister, still does not perform well in the following conversation, I am afraid that after the Soviets leave, the highest authorities will not spare the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

In the hall, the anxious Wang Panghui and the old god Huang Haoran formed a stark contrast, Chen Bui stood in the middle of Huang Haoran and Wang Panghui, and kept conveying the "spirit" of Huang Haoran's speech to Wang Panghui!

Thinking about it, I really feel ashamed of Wang Panghui! The dignified foreign minister still needs someone to teach him to deal with the next situation! Thanks to Chen Bui in the middle, Wang Panghui's face was hugged! If Huang Haoran stood directly beside Wang Panghui and crossed his waist to start training, then Wang Panghui might as well die!

The style of the Soviets was vigorous and resolute, and the sweat on Wang Panghui's head did not have time to wipe off. As soon as the Soviet ambassador to China, Bogomolov, took his officers to sit down and went straight to the point, first relaying Stalin's greetings to the highest authorities, and then began to ask why the Wuhan government had not sent more troops to Xuzhou! Bogomolov is trying hard to sell the offensive theory that the Soviet army has sold him, and this kind of argument that the highest authorities have been listening to a lot lately! I even feel a little upset! In Huang Haoran's view, Bogomolov's efforts today are afraid that he will be useless again!

The word counterattack sounds like a boost! But it also needs the Chinese army to have enough strength to do it! After the Battle of Nanjing, the self-protection of the Chinese army has become a problem! Counterattack? It would be better to call "suicide" in another word!

Bogomolov's practice of forcing China to jump into the fire pit finally annoyed the supreme authorities, who originally wanted the talks to be more harmonious, and as for the issue of loans and Soviet aid, if they cannot be discussed today, they can be handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for discussion slowly.

But now being so messed with by Bogomolov that the highest authorities have changed their minds! Since the Soviets dreamed that China and Japan would hug each other and fight to the death, then let's not be polite to polar bears! The highest authorities decided to follow Huang Haoran's previous suggestion and now open their mouths to the Soviets!

"Mr. Ambassador! You should know that our army has suffered heavy losses after continuous battles, but fortunately, China's population is still relatively large, and there are enough young people suitable for serving as soldiers! But we couldn't get weapons or supplies! No weapons! Our abundant supply of troops cannot be transformed into an army, and without supplies, our army cannot continue to fight! Mr. Ambassador! China needs the help of the USSR! ”

The highest authority is an old fox who has been crawling and rolling in the political circles for half his life, this is really going to deceive people, and there is absolutely nothing to say about the acting skills! If Huang Haoran hadn't known in advance the strategy that the highest authorities were going to adopt, I'm afraid he would have been deceived by the performance of the highest authorities!

The highest authorities personally stepped in, how could Bogomolov, the Soviet ambassador, be out of luck?

Before the talks began, Bogomolov was very worried that the top authorities would be so prevaricating, as they had done in previous talks. There were already voices of dissatisfaction with Bogomolov's work in Wuhan. The gradual defeat of the Chinese army in front of the Japanese, and the reluctance of the highest authorities to allow Soviet military advisers sent by Moscow to the Chinese army, made Stalin feel that his assistance to China was not duly rewarded! Bogomolov would like to do something in China so that he can avoid going to Siberia to work as a lumberjack.

Having dealt with the highest authorities for so long, it was the first time that Bogomolov had noticed that the tone of the highest authorities had loosened! Bogomolov was overjoyed by this huge development, and he exchanged glances with his military attaché, and then immediately decided to seize this great opportunity!

"Mr. Chairman! I know your country's predicament very well!! I have already reported to Comrade Stalin the heroic performance of your army on the battlefield of resistance against Japan! Comrade Stalin is behind you! The USSR is behind you! I am sure that the loan provided by the Soviet people to your country will definitely alleviate your lack of weapons and supplies! The Soviet-made fighter jets flying in the sky of Wuhan are the best proof of the friendship between our two countries......! ”

Bogomolov began to sing praises to the Soviet Union and China, if the previous supreme authorities had changed, maybe they would have been fooled by Bogomolov's high-profile singing, but now the supreme authorities sitting in front of Bogomolov are a strengthened version after Huang Haoran's promotion! This song of friendship, which has no real benefits, has lost its purpose!

After Bogomolov's high-pitched vigor had passed, the top authorities turned the conversation back to the issue of loans and military aid, repeatedly stressing the practical difficulties of the Chinese army. The subtext of the words of the highest authorities is that if the Soviet Union is not able to provide more loans and military aid, let alone a counteroffensive! Maybe the Wuhan government will be able to raise the white flag after the first war in Xuzhou! When the time comes, little Japan, which has received resources from China, will inevitably not be interested in the Far East of the Soviet Union! When the time comes, I'm afraid you, Comrade Stalin, will have to personally accompany little Japan to play with his life!

The abnormal behavior of the highest authorities today made Bogomolov feel a little overwhelmed! Why did the chairman of the Wuhan government suddenly change his path! No matter what Bogomolov said the Soviet government wanted the Wuhan government to do, the highest authorities kept on lending and military aid! It made it look like the Soviet Union was spending money to find mercenaries to fight the Japanese! Bogomolov has really never encountered such a scene!

In desperation, Bogomolov could only leak part of the secrets of the Soviet government in advance, and he told the highest authorities that Stalin was willing to arm 20 infantry divisions and several flying brigades for the Chinese army! As for the artillery that the Chinese army had left after the Battle of Nanjing, the USSR would also help the highest authorities to rebuild! In Bogomolov's opinion, there is no reason why such attractive conditions cannot be taken by the highest authorities!

But the attitude of the highest authorities once again surprised Bogomolov!

It seems that the equipment of 20 infantry divisions has not reached the bottom limit of the Chinese! The words of the highest authorities are covered with clouds and fog, but Bogomolov always listens to the same meaning in his ears!

The Wuhan government also thought that the Soviet Union had provided too little aid! The highest authorities even repeatedly hinted at an additional two or three times the amount of loans to the USSR! All these funds will be used to purchase military supplies! Bogomolov made a rough calculation in his heart, if these loans were really approved by Moscow, then it would be equivalent to the Soviet Union helping the Chinese army to form at least 60 infantry divisions! Plus a medium-sized air force! If Stalin had been willing to pay such a price, the Soviet Union would have made a move against the Kwantung Army in small Japan! So what have you to wait until now?

Bogomolov began to feel that the highest authorities were not sincere in asking for help from the USSR, and he had a feeling of being played!

Huang Haoran has been sitting in his place, silently following the development of the talks.....

In a diplomatic occasion like this, it would not have been Huang Haoran's turn to participate. It is an exception for the highest authorities to allow Huang Haoran to attend! You must know that even Foreign Minister Wang Panghui has not had a chance to intervene until now, so Huang Haoran can only watch from the sidelines!

The talks with Bogomolov reached an impasse, and the highest authorities thought of Huang Haoran! Since Huang Haoran can come up with the "lack of morality" idea of "taking more quickly", then he must have a way to force the Soviets to comply! The highest authorities didn't want to clash with Bogomolov and make the situation deadlocked, so he decided to let Huang Haoran, a strange soldier, come out and stir up the situation!

"Mr. Ambassador! You and I stay in the back all the time! The level of understanding of the military power of the Japanese is far less thorough than that of the soldiers on the front line! Just about! Today I have a general here who has just come out of the line of fire for a few days! Let him tell me what the Chinese army is most lacking right now? ”

This statement of the highest authority is quite reasonable, although Bogomolov is a little worried that this is another "new trick" of the highest authority, he still accepted the proposal!

The innocent Huang Haoran was pushed to the front of the Sino-Soviet talks by the highest authorities!

Considering that none of the Soviets present had met Huang Haoran before, Chen Bui and Wang Panghui, two "familiar faces", began to introduce Huang Haoran!

Only then did Bogomolov know that the young lieutenant general who was sitting in the most important position of the Wuhan government was Huang Haoran, who was sticking to the isolated city of Nanjing!

The Soviets worship heroes! Huang Haoran's outstanding achievements have also produced certain repercussions within the Soviet army, and the Frunze Military Academy has also put several of Huang Haoran's masterpieces on the Songhu battlefield on the podium to study and analyze the real combat level of the Japanese! So after learning that the Chinese general in front of him was Huang Haoran, several senior officers of the Soviet Union who brought in Bogomolov to aid China immediately became excited!

They were all very curious about Huang Haoran's battle experience in Nanjing! Although the Wuhan government newspapers and pictorial magazines of Western countries had special articles on the Battle of Nanjing, these Soviet officers always felt that what those reporters wrote was a little unrealistic, and now that they have met Huang Haoran himself, they naturally want to get some first-hand information.

The Soviet officers showed an unusual enthusiasm for Huang Haoran, which made the highest authorities a little jealous, and he said to Huang Haoran: "Youchen! These Soviet friends are here to help us, don't keep what you have to say! By the way, tell them what you, the officers of the combat units, would most like to get from the USSR......"

The words of the highest authorities were a pun, telling Huang Haoran to "don't keep anything you can say", which can also be understood as "don't tell the Soviets what you can't say." Although Bogomolov learned Chinese very well, he still couldn't understand such sentences! This is also the reason why the highest authorities intervened to deliver a message to Huang Haoran in front of Bogomolov!

Huang Haoran saluted the highest authorities and said "yes" loudly! After that, he saluted the Soviet officers, who quickly stood up and returned the salute, and between the ups and downs, the unpleasant atmosphere of the meeting just now was much diluted.

The highest authority looked at Huang Haoran with a smile, he now wants to enjoy the performance......

Huang Haoran first talked about the degree of industrialization in China and Japan, and then talked about the standard matching of weapons and the culture of soldiers......

After the eyes of the Soviets began to show signs of sluggishness, Huang Haoran suddenly began to change direction, and he told a cruel truth in a sad tone! China's military factories are now unable to even produce bullets to meet the needs of the front-line troops, so what can the Chinese army use to win a Japanese army with a complete logistics industrial system, a strong navy and air force, and a well-organized army?

Huang Haoran told Bogomolov that at this moment, the Chinese soldiers on the front line were fighting with the Japanese armed to the teeth with inferior weapons! For the government to seek more loans from the Soviet Union for the purchase of military supplies, the combat troops are in favor of raising their hands! Don't say it's a loan! Even if you pay cash to buy China, you are willing! From airplanes, cannons, tanks, to rifle bullets! All of them are needed! Only by getting weapons will the Chinese army be able to stop the advance of the Japanese army! Huang Haoran assured like Bogomolov that the Chinese army, which had received Soviet aid, was fully capable of trapping the million-strong army of the Japanese on the Chinese battlefield!

A million Japanese troops were trapped on the battlefield in China! Could Bogomolov have thought of a more desirable result? The Soviet Union was well aware of the military strength of the Japanese, and before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, there were only less than twenty army divisions in Japan! If the Japanese really committed a million troops in China, then the Far East would be carefree!

An hour later, Bogomolov, who was completely stunned by Huang Haoran, patted his chest and assured the highest authorities that he would definitely fight for Moscow again! Contribute to China's anti-Japanese war cause! At the end of the talks, Huang Haoran did not forget to tell Bogomolov about the expansion of the highway, and Bogomolov, who had already done a good job, did not pretend anymore, and immediately said that he would deal with the matter of kilometers and loans together!

In the end, Bogomolov patted Huang Haoran on the shoulder and said, the advanced weapons and equipment provided by the Soviet Union are prepared for military geniuses like Huang Haoran, Bogomolov and the highest authorities have reached an agreement, if the military supplies provided by the Soviet Union to China can arm more than 40 infantry divisions, then Huang Haoran's 25th Army will get at least 5 divisions of Soviet-made weapons and more than two heavy artillery regiments!

According to the current status of the 25th Group Army in the Central Army, after the return of these Soviet aids, a large number of them must be distributed to Huang Haoran, and now that there is Bogomolov, the unjust boss, to change Huang Haoran's clothes, the highest authorities are of course happy to accept it!

On the day of January 18, the highest authorities had a very unpleasant start, but a very happy ending!

On January 19, the "Central Daily" first published a statement by the highest authorities on the statement of the Japanese Prime Minister Konoe, that is, the one where Huang Haoran caught the knife, with strong wording!

On January 20, the highest authorities recalled Ambassador to Japan Xu Shiying.

It has been more than half a year since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was fought, and the fact that the Chinese ambassador was still in Japan was a miracle in the history of diplomacy......

**************************************************

Huang Haoran, who returned to Anqing, threw himself on the 25th Group Army!

Compared with the shortage of weapons and equipment, the shortage of officers will hurt the combat effectiveness of the troops even more!

Looking at Shen Lao Er, who was abusing the recruits on the training ground, Huang Haoran sighed in his heart... How he hoped that Shen Yuanlong could have Fan Jie's kind of intelligence, so that he could hand over more and more important things to Shen Lao Er to do!

As the spread of the army is getting bigger and bigger, now Huang Haoran has begun to strongly feel the shortage of talent reserves.

In addition to Shen Laoer, Wang Shankui, and Fan Jie, the gang accompanied Huang Haoran from Wucheng to the old team and Feng Haoran at the beginning. The German advisory group led by Ritchie and Huang Haoran's small group have not joined any real talents over the years.

Wu Jianping and He Daru were actually not very qualified generals before joining the 99th Army. After several major battles, coupled with the mention of the German advisory group, now the two of them are only barely reaching the level of ordinary generals of the Central Army. Huang Haoran put the two of them in the position of division commander and deputy division commander, and he had already used them to the limit!

As for Liu Zhaomu, the general of the Sichuan Army who has just taken refuge, not to mention! At least in Huang Haoran's memory, Liu Zhaomu was not a famous general in the Sichuan Army.

Let Liu Zhaomu be the commander of the 187th Division, more to take care of the emotions of the more than 10,000 Sichuan soldiers, and Huang Haoran also had to do it......

Compared with the shortage of senior officers, the shortage of middle-level officers and junior officers of the 25 Group Army is even more serious!

The speed of Huang Haoran's army expansion is really too fast, and the main way to expand the army is to form a new number or absorb local miscellaneous troops, which is doomed to the 25 th Group Army not being replenished by high-quality military academy graduates.

Huang Haoran did not dare to accept the graduates of the Officer Training Corps and the Huangpu officers sent to his door by the highest authorities.

At present, except for the 99th Division and the 139th Division, the two main divisions, almost all the units of the 25th Group Army are in a shortage of officers, and the 121st Division and the 187th Division, two units reorganized from the Guizhou Army and the Sichuan Army, have been reorganized by Fan Jie and the German Advisory Group, and almost all middle-level officers have been replaced, and less than 30% of the grassroots officers are qualified.
