Zhu De glanced inside the cave, and then closed the door for the two of them. The room immediately fell silent, only Gao Dong and ****** sat quietly opposite each other.

Everything here today will eventually become a secret, and only the two of them will know what they are talking about and what is happening.

The room was very quiet, ****** was examining the young general, and Gao Dong was also carefully examining the legendary figure in front of him, who only existed in books.

The two of them looked at each other so quietly, as if they wanted to see everything through each other's eyes.

After a long time, ****** nodded slowly: "Gao Dong, although it is the first time we have met, I can also see that you are a decisive person, who will not drag mud and water, and who is resolute." As it happens, I'm one of those people. In that case, let's talk about it honestly! ”

Gao Dong chuckled in his heart, what did Chairman Mao mean by saying such things? What does it seem to be in his possession? Could it be that he has special abilities such as mind reading, and sees that he comes from the future?

Just when Gao Dong was stunned, ****** said slowly: "What do you think of the current situation?" ”

Gao Dong's heart was immediately put down, and his heart was even more breathing. It turned out that he was asking this question, and he thought that he had accidentally exposed some clues.

But he immediately turned pale and replied calmly: "At present, the Japanese are still very strong in China, although the independence army has achieved brilliant results, eliminated a large number of Japanese living forces, and seized a large number of land occupied by the Japanese. But it didn't touch the bones and bones of the Japanese, and it didn't even make them feel real pain. ”

"The North China Dispatch Army is indeed one of the best elite units in the Japanese army, and more than 200,000 of them were wiped out and captured by us this time, which is a huge loss for the North China Dispatch Army." Gao Dong's face was solemn: "But as long as Japan's national strength is still there, the North China Dispatch Army can be replenished at any time to the scale before the war with us, and it will even be stronger." But we are different, the loss of troops is a little less, and if we want to replenish it, we must retrain the soldiers, which is not at all the same speed as the Japanese. ”

"Moreover, after hundreds of years of development after the Meiji Restoration, Japan already has a set of mature industrial machinery in China. They can quickly produce large quantities of military supplies, which is also beyond our reach. ”

Gao Dong finally said: "Therefore, a temporary victory does not mean that we have really surpassed the Japanese army. On the contrary, it is quite possible to attract the attention of the Japanese, so as to attract their elite troops to strike hard, and that is our misfortune! ”

nodded very approvingly: "Yes, there are too few generals in our party who can see so clearly like you." Even if you look at the whole of China, there will not be five people who can say the same thing as you. Most people were already carried away by the victory, and they only saw the victory in front of them, but did not take into account the sufficient national strength behind the Japanese army. ”

"Although Japan is a small country, its national strength is not worth mentioning at all compared to our dignified China. However, after a hundred years of accumulation and aggressive expansion, they already have quite sufficient resources for war preparations. If we were to devote ourselves to the Chinese battlefield, it would be an overwhelming advantage for us. But now, if the estimate is correct, the Japanese may not even use one-fifth of their war preparations! ”

He said in a deep voice: "This is our luck and our misfortune. The only thing that can be explained is that there is still a long way to go to resist Japan, and if we want to defeat the Japanese, we still have a long way to go. We Chinese, in the past, were too easy to be complacent, always regarded ourselves as a **** power, but we did not expect that those powers that we called barbarians had long regarded us as fat meat to divide. ”

"This kind of history must not be repeated. The dragon of the East should have woken up a long time ago, and as long as we Chinese show the never-ending spirit of striving for strength, we will one day be able to defeat the Japanese. ****** eyes shimmered with incomparably brilliant light.

Gao Dong sighed in his heart, worthy of being the leader who created New China, but this love for the motherland and the national integrity of working hard are not comparable to ordinary people.

Many traitors and puppet soldiers chose to surrender to the Japanese because they could not bear the great pain of defeat and death.

But the conditions of the Eighth Route Army are a hundred times more difficult than those who surrendered to the puppet army, they live on the verge of life and death every day, either from devils or from the shortage of food, and sometimes natural and man-made disasters may also cause a large number of Eighth Route Army to die.

If someone else had been in such a situation, they might have surrendered a long time ago.

But ****** has always firmly believed that the Chinese will win and the war of resistance will be won. With this belief and tenacious will, he has survived until now, and on this basis, he is worthy of the word great man.

"I'd like to hear what you're going to do next?" looked at Gao Dong calmly and said with a smile: "You are definitely not a person who is complacent, and you will not stop at the excitement just to recover a Shaanxi or Shandong." In your eyes, I can see the flames of battle, and you were born to fight. ”

Gao Dong smiled: "The chairman is really awarded, I am just an ordinary soldier." Soldiers, they should defend their homes and the country, fight for the motherland, fight for the people, and fight for our ********** and dignity. ”

Seeing ******'s appreciative nod, Gao Dong continued: "Again, the strength of the Japanese is still very large at present, and our next step is to consolidate the existing base areas, and there will be no frontal conflict with the Japanese for the time being." I will also unite with the North China Dispatch Army, which is now in Shanxi, to reach a temporary ceasefire agreement. ”

Looking at Gao Dong in surprise, he asked with interest: "Let's hear it, your idea is very special." ”

Gao Dong nodded hurriedly: "Now there are almost two million Japanese troops in China, 800,000 in the Kwantung Army in the Northeast, 200,000 Japanese troops in Mongolia, more than 200,000 troops in Central China in Hebei, and more than 100,000 troops in North China in Shanxi. The largest number of Japanese troops were fighting against the people and the party in the south, and there were more than one million people. ”

"Such a large Japanese army is by no means the main military force of Japan. As far as I know, if the Japanese had committed all their armed forces, the army alone would have been able to piece together about four million. And that's not counting their powerful navy, as well as their air force, which has absolute superiority over us. ”

"Counting these powers, how can we compete with the current devils. If we blindly seek to attack without consolidating the existing base areas, we are only hastening our demise. Gao Dong calmly analyzed: "So only by first consolidating our base areas, training a large number of high-quality soldiers, and then manufacturing weapons, consolidating defense, developing the economy, and creating a powerful force that can crush the devils, can we be qualified to fight the Japanese army in a real battle." ”

nodded deeply: "What you said is very correct, now many people in our army suggest that while we have just won the devil, we must take advantage of the victory to pursue, recover the Shanxi area, and give the devil a heavy blow." But this is tantamount to attracting the devils to a focused attack, and they will turn all the main forces fighting against the people and the party army to us. At that time, we will have to face the attack of the whole of Japan, which we cannot afford. ”

"Your proposal is very good, but it is really very difficult to really develop and consolidate the base area in real peace. The Japanese will not allow us to do this. ****** sighed.

"No, I'm going to make them have to!" Gao Dong suddenly laughed mysteriously.

"Oh? Do you already have a solution? ****** gazed deeply at Gao Dong.

Gao Dong laughed, and then lowered his voice and said, "I once went to the Northeast with my troops, I guess you know, Chairman?" ”

"Know! destroyed the devil's 731 secret unit, led two divisions to pursue you, and finally returned in vain. Although the Northeast Army kept it strictly secret, our intelligence officers kept it all back to Yan'an. ****** nodded.

"I also found an unexpected piece of information, that is, the Kwantung Army secretly colluded with the Americans in an attempt to use American resources to help the Kwantung Army occupy more land." Gao Dong sneered: "Our goal is not only China, but also more land in Asia. ”

"What? United States? ****** stood up suddenly, and the news was like a bolt from the blue for him.

The United States has been in a position of neutrality since the First World War. The horror of its national power cannot be described in words. Even the Germans were afraid of the silent power, and if the Americans had helped the devils, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"But weren't the Japanese allied with the Germans? How can it ...... with the United States" ****** very puzzling.

"In this world, as long as there are things that are profitable, no one can say! The United States does not necessarily support the Kwantung Army, but it is inevitable that some powerful politicians will appear in their own country to fund the Kwantung Army for the sake of personal ulterior secrets and jointly seek benefits! Gao Dong said coldly.

"It's not good news, what does it have to do with you stopping the Japanese?" Realizing that there was something wrong with Gao Dong's words, he couldn't help asking.

Smile slightly, the chairman is the chairman, just listening to his words, you can find flaws in it.

"The Japanese are also divided into many factions, such as the navy and the army, which are incompatible and never come together. The navy actively demanded to move south, because it would allow them to make use of the strength of their navy and expand their naval territory. However, the army asked to go north to attack the Soviet Union, but they failed, and this plan was put on hold for the time being. ”

"And within the Army, there are also sharp contradictions. For example, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the North China Dispatch Army and the Kwantung Army in the Northeast! ”

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Gao Dong's mouth: "I will use these irreconcilable contradictions between them to reorganize the pattern and finally make us invincible!" ”
