Chapter 30: The Visit of the Soviet General Counsel
9.30 Visit of the General Counsel of the Soviet Union
On the morning of July 20, Delatvin, military attache of the Soviet Embassy in China and chief military adviser of the Chinese army, made a surprise visit to Huang Haoran's "aid receipt office." Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Huang Haoran asked his adjutant to invite Delatvin to the living room in the middle, and then planned to call the Russian translator of his department, but the Soviet translator brought by Delatvin told Huang Haoran that Delatvin wanted to have a private meeting with Huang Haoran without a third person.
Don't want a third person to be present? What about the communication between the two sides? Huang Haoran, the translator next to Dratwen, can't believe it! He knew very well that a diplomatic scene like this could easily be ruined if the interpreter deliberately made trouble in the middle.
"I'd love to whisper to Mr. General Counsel, but we can't use gestures to each other, can we?"
Huang Haoran easily resolved the embarrassment that was about to happen with a witty answer, and after listening to his translation of Russian, Dratvin said to Huang Haoran a little embarrassed through the translation: "I'm very sorry, I actually mean that I hope Director Huang can find a translator who can be absolutely trusted." β
Huang Haoran looked at the naΓ―ve Soviet man standing opposite him with a smile, an absolutely trusted translator? How can such a person be readily found? And even if Huang Haoran really has such a talent in his pocket, will the highest authorities agree that he will bring his henchmen to the "aid reception office"?
After scanning the room with his eyes, Huang Haoran found several eager Russian translators, but none of these people were Huang Haoran's henchmen, on the contrary, these people's daily behavior was still a little suspicious.
It seems that these translators are either agents of the military command and the central command, or spies planted by other forces! They have been lurking in the "Aid Reception Office" for so long and have found nothing, they must have been scolded by their master, right? So now that they heard that Delatvin was going to have a private conversation with Huang Haoran, these spies finally came to their senses!
Huang Haoran, as a high-ranking official of the Wuhan government, actually had a personal relationship with the Soviets, which can barely be regarded as a crime! These poor "undercover agents" can finally make a difference!
What kind of "undercover" should I be cheaper? Huang Haoran finally decided to play a game of "pointing at the soldiers", and after reciting the "mantra" in his heart in a clockwise direction, a very obscene-looking major won the prize!
"You! Come with me to the reception room!"
Lu Weimin, the major's Russian translator, felt that Huang Haoran's voice was like heaven at this time, and in the eyes of a room full of jealous death, he triumphantly followed Huang Haoran into the reception room.
When Delatvin and his Soviet interpreter also walked in and took their seats, Lu Weimin immediately closed the door of the reception room, and several other "undercover agents" hidden in the "Aid Receiving Office" almost killed Lu Weimin with hateful eyes!
Among them, the "undercover agent" of the "Central Unification" is to know the mainland affairs affairs committee and the people, because there are not too many people in the "Central Unification" who are proficient in Russian, and in addition, many people in the "Central Unification" have come out of the "Military Unification" and are very familiar with the spies in the "Military Unification." Therefore, as soon as the people of the Mainland Affairs Committee appeared at the "Office for Receiving Aid Materials," the "undercover agents" of the "Central Unification" found out his identity!
Damn! It's actually cheaper for this stammering sent by Dai Li!
The "undercover" of the "Central Union" cursed through gritted teeth in his heart! But where would he have thought that Dai Li had thought twice about it when selecting the hidden personnel, and it was precisely because Lu Weimin was a stammerer that it was easier for people to relax their vigilance against him!
Huang Haoran is now a celebrity in front of the highest authorities, if the spies sent by the "military commander" to Huang Haoran are seen through by Huang Haoran at a glance, it will also be a trouble for Dai Li!
"Lord... Director! Is it time to get started? β
Lu Weimin's stutter is actually not serious, but it will be revealed when he is in a hurry, so he can take on the position of translator.
Huang Haoran was really taken aback after finding out that Lu Weimin was a stammer, she didn't expect that she would choose such a "superb" with a finger in her hand! I don't know what Dratwen, who was sitting across from him, would think.
"Director Huang's literati are really as shrewd as Mr. Ambassador said! Choosing such an inconspicuous Russian translator is indeed very safe! β
I didn't expect Drathevin to think crookedly, he regarded Huang Haoran's little omission as Huang Haoran's arrangement! Indeed, just like Dai Li's reason for inserting Lu Weimin to Huang Haoran's side, Delatvin also thinks that the stuttering translator is a good disguise.
Huang Haoran could only show an unfathomable smile at Delatvin, although he didn't want to occupy the credit for this uncontrollable stage, but he didn't want to be looked down upon by Delatvin!
Huang Haoran's smile made Delatvin believe that Lu Weimin was Huang Haoran's confidant! After feeling that he was in an absolutely safe environment, Delatvin's conversation box finally opened......
"Director Huang, I'm afraid it's hard for you to believe that although I am the military chief adviser of your army, in fact, not many Chinese generals are willing to listen to my words......"
In the face of Delatvin's complaints, Huang Haoran still responded with a smile. Looking at the helpless Dratvin, in fact, Huang Haoran's heart is still very sympathetic to this Soviet man!
Although Delatvin had taken office at the end of 1937, the title he wore on his head had always been a false title! In fact, Drathvin really began to fulfill the duties of the military general adviser of the Chinese army, only from last month.
In the final analysis, the highest authorities were still not very comfortable with the personnel from the Red Soviet Union! And this subtle mentality of the highest authorities affected most of the officials in the Wuhan government, so now the entire Wuhan government is always a little "cautious" in the face of the Soviets!
The reason why Huang Haoran was able to become an exception in the eyes of the Soviet personnel was mainly because the Soviet ambassador Bogomolov made peace for Huang Haoran in front of the Soviet personnel stationed in Wuhan, and the relationship within the Soviet embassy was much more harmonious than that of the Wuhan government.
As early as the beginning of 1938, the Soviet military adviser system was established within the Chinese armed forces, and then it soon developed into a system with a complete range of categories and a powerful lineup, including advisers to the army, air force, engineering troops, artillery, tank troops, and many other arms.
By the beginning of July 1938, the Soviet side had 80 experts working in the Chinese armed forces as military advisers, distributed in various branches of the armed forces and relevant institutions, including 27 infantry experts, 14 artillery experts, 8 engineering experts, 12 communications troops, 2 anti-chemical warfare troops, 3 rear and transportation management agencies, and 2 medical institutions.
Sending a large number of military experts to assist the Chinese military and civilians in fighting against Japan was an important component of the Soviet government's entire military assistance to China. After the Battle of Xuzhou, the technical forces of the Chinese army were almost completely lost, and the German advisory group was passively on standby under Hitler's remote command, and it was these Soviet advisers who helped the Wuhan government tide over the difficulties and implement the reconstruction of the air force.
At present, Delatvin is still helping the Wuhan government to rebuild artillery and armored corps, and 20 new infantry divisions, but no matter what these Soviet personnel in China do, in the minds of the highest authorities, they are still unwilling to treat them as their own.
So it's only natural that Draatwen would feel helpless and disappointed!
"For example, the distribution of supplies is not going well! Your generals are very strange, some only believe in German goods and are unwilling to accept our supplies, and some are chasing after our ass and refusing to go! However, as far as I know, many of their troops will not be sent to the front, and it seems that these people still have a habit of trading on the black market! Director Huang, can you tell me what the hell is going on? β
Gradually, Delatvin's problem began to become realistic, and Huang Haoran listened to Delatvin's accusation, and felt a little depressed in his heart!
There are too many "merchant generals" in the Chinese army! Huang Haoran didn't need to check it at all to conclude that as long as Delatvin handed over the Soviet weapons in the warehouse to these "merchant generals", the next morning, Wang Huanzhi would receive an offer from the black market!
"Mr. General Counsel, you should know who I am, so I can't give you any more verbal support! But I can tell you that I sympathize with your situation and would like to help your advisory team! β
Huang Haoran's answer was full of official tone, because he knew that the identity of the Lu Weimin around him was suspicious, so Huang Haoran was very cautious when talking to Dratvin!
But Deratvin was obviously very dissatisfied with Huang Haoran's reply, and the Soviet bearded man said loudly while making exaggerated movements at Huang Haoran:
"Yellow! You're not a bureaucrat like those people! Bogomolov said everything to me! You're a yellow-skinned Westerner! Don't try to send me away with these official replies! β
The translators of Lu Weimin and Delatwen successively translated Delatt's Russian into Chinese and told Huang Haoran to listen to him; compared with Delatt's translation, Lu Weimin's translation speed was faster, and the Chinese translated by the Soviet side sounded much more comfortable than the Chinese translated by the Soviet side.
These stuttering translators still have two brushes!
"Alright! In that case, I'll be blunt! Mr. General Counsel, I'm just a little lieutenant general, and what you can't solve, I certainly can't solve either! β
met the straightforward Soviets, Huang Haoran decided that it was better to go straight! Otherwise, Drathevin will definitely be very unhappy, as the director of the "Aid Receipt Office", he can't offend the God of Wealth!
After Huang Haoran's attitude changed, Delatvin immediately smiled, and he said to Huang Haoran: "Of course you can do it!" Director Huang! In fact, apart from your 25th Army, I can't find a second trading partner with so many stocks of light weapons! β
Drathven finally said the purpose of his trip! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
