9.22 Verbal War II

The huge gap in cultural quality is also an important factor causing the disparity in combat effectiveness between the Chinese and Japanese armies!

It is important to know that fighting a war is not only about being brave, but also about relying on the brain in many cases. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In China, being a soldier is a chore! As for the reason for this situation, it is actually very simple, the reason why the Chinese people are reluctant to become soldiers is because in their eyes being a soldier is not only beneficial, but also has great disadvantages!

First of all, those who serve as soldiers have no social status and will be looked down upon. This kind of thinking of the Chinese has some historical traditions, thinking that at the beginning, Di Qing in the Song Dynasty, what a brave member of the general, who made great contributions to the counterattack against foreign invasions, but because Di Qing was born as a soldier, the scholar class just looked down on him, and as a result, Di Qing died depressed! Since then, no matter how you line up in the three hundred and sixty lines, the soldiers are always at the bottom, and their status is almost the same as that of beggars!

In addition, the armies of all Chinese dynasties have had a certain degree of disturbance to the people, especially from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China, the common people can't distinguish between soldiers and bandits at all! Officers and soldiers who often suppress bandits are more bandits than bandits! As a result, in the minds of the common people, the reputation of "soldiers as soldiers" is getting worse and worse, and it has gradually become an unpopular commodity like "Qiu Bazi". Don't look at the people who carry the guns and nod their heads and shout "boss", but in fact, they don't know how to scold you in their hearts!

It is precisely for these reasons that the people are never willing to join the army until they are cornered! The vast majority of soldiers in the Chinese army do not carry guns for the country and the people, they just want to eat!

With such soldiers, naturally don't expect them to be able to spontaneously and consciously dedicate themselves!

After the "918" period, the country's financial difficulties and even the central army were faced with the dilemma of not being able to uncover the pot.

Because the treatment of the army is too low, it is inevitable that the officers with power in their hands will engage in favoritism, which makes the situation of being a soldier even more miserable! There was already a few salaries, and the wages were always in arrears, and now they have been discounted by 20%! If you run into a ruthless commander again, then the big-headed soldier can basically only wait to drink the northwest wind.

"What combat effectiveness can an army that can't even eat enough to eat?"

This is Huang Haoran's closing remarks! Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Stilwell covered his face with a pair of large hands. Since the space in the conference room was relatively closed, Huang Haoran could even hear Stilwell's panting!

In order not to make Stilwell despair about China's war of resistance and thus affect Stilwell's report to the US government, Huang Haoran decided to change the subject!

Huang Haoran broke the dullness in the living room with laughter, and he said to Stilwell:

"Mr. Military Attaché, do you know? You are not the first Western military man to suggest an offensive to us. ”

Although Stilwell was obviously still immersed in the impact that Huang Haoran brought him, he still politely replied to Huang Haoran's words.

"Well, thank God! I wasn't the only one awake in this world! May I ask General Huang, who is this Western soldier you are talking about? ”

In fact, there were two other generals who suggested to the Chinese government that a counteroffensive against the Japanese should be launched: Falkenhausen, the head of the German advisory group of the Wuhan government, and Bogomolov, the Soviet ambassador, but given the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, Huang Haoran only named Falkenhausen, the head of the German advisory group. At least in 1938, the Americans' relations with Germany were much better than their relations with the Soviet Union.

"Falkenhausen, the German general adviser to the Chinese army ... Mr. Military Attaché, in fact, in terms of the director's wishes, the three of us are all the same! There is also a lot of similarity between us in advocating tactics against Japan! But there are many things in China that you cannot understand. For example, what would you do if Colonel Stilwell, a squad leader, would love to take your men out of position, and the planes would be very advantageous, but your platoon commander ordered you to hold your position? ”

Huang Haoran's words are focused on the second half, he is now releasing a message to Stilwell, as for whether Stilwell can understand it, it depends on luck!

"As a soldier, of course you have to carry out the orders of your superiors!"

At first, Stilwell answered Huang Haoran's question without thinking, but soon Stilwell found that the question thrown by Huang Haoran was not as simple as it seemed! "General Huang! Do you mean to say you're running into resistance? As far as I know, you are now the most capable general in the Chinese army to fight the Japanese! I have already defeated several famous Japanese players! And your government has a lot of trust in you! Could it all be an illusion? As the commander-in-chief of the front, don't you have the right to choose the means of warfare? ”

Huang Haoran's luck seems to be good, and Stilwell, who is also a soldier, has a boss who embarrasses him, McCabe, so for Huang Haoran's suffering, Stilwell is a little bit clear! But his wrinkled face was full of surprise. Maybe Stilwell never thought that a hot star like Huang Haoran would have such low-level trouble!

Huang Haoran did not answer Stilwell's question directly, he continued the topic just now:

"Colonel, we have the same profession, but we are in two different countries! The ideological differences between the East and the West have long permeated all aspects, and the military is no exception. ”

"But General Huang, don't you have an old saying in China, 'The king will not be subject to the order of the king abroad'? As a front-line commander, you naturally have the right to mobilize your troops for action. ”

The stubborn Stilwell has obviously not fully accepted Wong's explanation, and he needs more convincing reasons!

Huang Haoran could only smile bitterly and shake his head, and then said to Stilwell: "Indeed! Mr. Military Attaché, there are some things you know very well about China! But there are other things that you Westerners can't understand! Let's take the Battle of Lanfeng that ended before, in fact, I have a chance to completely annihilate the Tufeiyuan Division, at least I can further expand the results of the battle! However, during the entire operation, two high-ranking generals of the Central Army escaped from the battle! And Xue Yue and I, as two successive commanders, couldn't escape the fate of being deceived! It should not be difficult for Mr. Military Attache to guess that there must be a reason why these generals are so bold! Who wouldn't want their army to be killed? But there are some troops and officers that I can't command at all! ”

Speaking of this, the smile on Huang Haoran's face had long since disappeared, leaving only melancholy and helplessness. Although he promised Minister He to let Huang Jie go, and also got a lot of benefits from Huang Jie, Huang Haoran still felt resentful of Huang Jie from the bottom of his heart for letting go of Tufeiyuan!

So when he said this, Huang Haoran no longer had any acting ingredients, and every word was from his sincerity!

"Is your country's Judge Advocate General's Office just an ornament? Why not execute these villains!? ”

Through Huang Haoran's words, Stilwell thought of the petty bureaucrats in Washington who pointed fingers at him and did against him, plus he had been in China for many years, Stilwell also had some understanding of the factional strife in the Chinese army, and he had completely understood the difficulties of this famous Chinese general in front of him, which was feared by the Japanese! At this time, it would be a little too uninteresting to talk about the tone of "offense". So Stilwell changed the subject in time and began to condemn the Chinese generals who were timid about the war.

"Maybe it's hard to believe! In China, being in prison does not mean death or losing office, and I have seen a lot of guys who stay in prison for a while and then change places to get promoted and get rich! In fact, I myself spent some time in prison, and after my release, I was promoted! Although I was wronged, unlike them......"

actually used his own experience of being wronged to ridicule it, but you can imagine how disappointed Huang Haoran has been with the Wuhan government's military law system!?

"General, do you have confidence in this war?"

Stilwell felt that he was beginning to admire Huang Haoran a little bit! In Huang Haoran's body, Stilwell saw too many shining points! It was so shaky that he couldn't open his eyes!

The main topic is finally here! Huang Haoran has been chatting with Stilwell for so long, and this is the question he has been waiting for! He must make the Americans feel China's confidence in the war of resistance! It is also necessary to convince the US government as much as possible that this self-confidence of the Chinese is not unfounded!

The Colonel Stilwell on the other side is actually the mouthpiece between Huang Haoran and the US government!

Huang Haoran changed his firm tone, stared at Stilwell tightly with his eyes, and then said word by word; "Of course! I have no doubt that China will win in the end! Although we can't defeat the Japanese right now. But it will definitely be in the future! Compared to China, Japan is a small country after all! How many resources and manpower does this militaristic island nation have? Can they withstand the attrition of a long war? In fact, Mr. Military Attache and your government know this better than I do! If it weren't for the resources plundered from the occupied territories and the steel and crude oil sold to them by your country, the Japanese would have stopped their expansion long ago! I dare to make a bold assertion here! Strategically speaking, Japan simply does not have the ability to solve this war in China. In fact, from the moment they sent troops, Japan had already failed! China can afford to fight, and it can drag on! Japan can't afford to drag it out! While China's victory may come later, the sacrifices we will have to pay may be significant. But he'll always come!"

It was not easy to convince Stilwell! Although Huang Haoran has done a lot of foreshadowing before, and now he has said something extremely sensational, Stilwell is still not completely convinced, he asked Huang Haoran a rhetorical question!
