Let Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun stop all their work at this time and specially greet this American and British delegation, the two of them will definitely not agree. Yang Zhen will not allow any accidents to affect his next deployment and plan. It is one thing to get aid from the United States and Britain, but it is even more important for him to get in touch with the customs and the country.

Under such circumstances, Chai Shirong, the deputy chief of staff in charge of training, regulations, etc., became the only person who could spare time to accompany these guys who arrived at this time before the recruits arrived. Although he is not a very suitable candidate, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun really can't draw other people at this time.

After thinking about it carefully, Yang Zhen said to Guo Bingxun: "Old Guo, I will focus on negotiating with the United States and Britain during this time. These days, you're going to have to work hard. The reorganization of the troops, you mainly grasp it. There is also the reception of this US-British delegation, mainly about military matters, and you should also grasp more about it. ”

"You have to rush the progress of the conscription over there in the political department. The current expansion of the troop has a bearing on whether or not we can smoothly unfold in the next stage of the battle. Regardless of whether or not the launch of the next phase of the battle is delayed, the issue of replenishing troops and expanding the number of troops is the most important task that we must solve now. ”

"The focus of your work during this period of time is to adjust the troop establishment and the deployment of weapons and equipment. We must urge the troops to master the tanks and artillery transferred by the Soviet side in the shortest possible time, and do their best to form these equipment into combat effectiveness. In addition, the expansion of the armored forces should also be started. ”

"Regardless of whether or not we can get the tanks we urgently need from the United States and Britain, the establishment of the troops must be perfected within a short period of time. Don't let the equipment arrive when the time comes, but we don't have the ability to receive it, then the joke will be a big joke. It's still that request, I'd rather let people wait for equipment than let equipment wait for people. ”

"In this negotiation, I estimate that it will be difficult to get American-made tanks in a short period of time, but British tanks may not be a big problem. Compared with Britain and the Soviet Union, we are still second-class citizens in the eyes of Americans. Their latest equipment will not be given to us for the time being. ”

"Judging from some of the side branch details revealed by Pearson's mouth, we should not count on the equipment of the Americans in a short time. Their focus now is on the USSR and the British. The only thing we can get now is second-hand equipment that the British have exchanged for American aid in North Africa. ”

"However, although it is second-hand goods, for us who urgently need to replenish heavy equipment at present, some are better than nothing, and those tanks of the British are not necessarily much worse than those of the United States, but the firepower is far behind the German goods. In the terrain of North Africa, the new tanks of the German army were somewhat powerless. ”

"With these British tanks, plus the T three or four medium tanks transferred by the Soviet Union, this time we will expand two armored brigades into armored divisions and create several independent tank brigades and tank regiments, which is still not a big problem. Second-hand is second-hand, it's not a big deal. As long as it can solve the urgent need and the performance is no worse than that of the Japanese tank, Lao Tzu is not a picky eater. ”

"In addition, you should also ask more about the modification and trial production of self-propelled artillery and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. Xiong Dazhen's kid is a little reassuring. Within five months of the reorganization of the armored troops, it is necessary to come up with a qualified modification plan. I still believe in Chen Hanzhang's ability, but you also have to supervise it. ”

"The formation of the new unit should focus on the mountain divisions that are being reorganized. Whether or not the next battle is according to our vision, mountain combat will probably be a very important part of what we will face. We can't put all our hopes on the advance army, and we must also have a part of our own mountain combat capabilities. ”

"The strength of our infantry divisions is still a bit cumbersome when fighting in the mountains. How to make adjustments more refined and more in line with the special requirements of mountain warfare is something we must consider now. These two light divisions fighting in the mountains must do a good job. Don't delay after completing the establishment, and go directly to Xing'anling for training. ”

"As for the next battle plan, let's put it aside for now, and wait until they leave. In this matter, it is still an appropriate choice to be stable at present. We have to take a look at what kind of armored and artillery units can be expanded, and then draw up a combat plan according to the actual situation. If you do it now, it won't be good to revise it then. ”

"The matter of advancing into the army and training is mainly done by themselves, but where we need to cooperate, we must also do our best. If there is anything else important, you can't make a decision, and when I finish negotiating with the political commissar in the evening, we will sit down together and study it. ”

"It's a pity that Deputy Commander Yang was transferred back to Yan'an by the central government to study, otherwise with him, the pressure on your side would be less. Now these burdens can only be pressed on you. It's not good when these foreign devils come, they have to pick this time, they are simply doing a disservice. ”

Hearing this, Guo Bingxun nodded and said, "No. 1, don't worry, I know what to do." Compared to my side, there is actually more pressure on your side. Both the Americans and the British are realistic, and it is not easy to get benefits from them, and you have to work harder than I do. ”

"Still, there are some things I'd like to persuade you. I already know what happened last night, are you a little too much? After Political Commissar Li came back, he talked to me a little bit, and let me persuade you not to always engage in needle-to-needle confrontation. At least on the surface, don't be so stiff with them, otherwise we will be very passive. ”

"Even if we knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, we still try to do it to the point, too much. That Major General Stilwell, although it did not affect the decision-making level of the United States. But it doesn't do us any good to be too stiff with him at this time. A lot of the time, taking a step back is the way to open up the sky. As long as we grasp our bottom line, temporary concessions are not too embarrassing. ”

"I know you've been stressed out during this time, but it's always a bad thing to get angry. What's more, the words of the political commissar of the advance army are not wrong, the age of that Major General Stilwell is more than enough to be our father. Even if it was the war that he took the initiative to provoke, it was not too appropriate to vent all the anger in his heart on him. ”

"A lot of times, it's time for you to restrain your anger. Isn't this negotiating table a battlefield? We should think more about how to get the greatest victory in this special battlefield at the lowest cost. Instead of being too entangled in some side matters. ”

"It's no surprise that Major General Stilwell doesn't trust us. You also said that the United States and Britain have been despising Asians for a long time, and it is not surprising that they look down on us. After he finished visiting the troops and learned about our real combat effectiveness, the arrogance in his heart would naturally be defeated. ”

"Why do you want to be so angry with him, and vent all the anger in your heart that you have been suppressing on him? Fortunately, he is also a major general of the US Army, at least on the surface, we still have to give it. Number one, you were a little too much about yesterday's events, and this is not your usual style. ”

Now there are only the two of them, Guo Bingxun's words are very direct, and there are not many taboos that outsiders have at the time. This is also the habit and style that the two of them have always developed when they talk alone. As old comrades-in-arms who rushed out of the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare together, and brothers who came from the most difficult hands together, when they were alone together in private, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun have always been straightforward, saying whatever they want.

Even the political topics that Guo Bingxun has always avoided in front of others, as well as some sensitive topics, the two of them are also talking about a wide range of topics. As Yang Zhen's most intimate friend and brother, when Li Yanping mentioned what happened to him last night, Guo Bingxun understood all the reasons why Yang Zhen was so angry at the beginning.

He understood Yang Zhen's mind very well, and he understood at that time that knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger was just a convenience. I am afraid that it is his true intention to vent the anger caused by a series of things that have happened these days that have made him extremely depressed, and to vent it through the incident provoked by the American major general.

As for staging a play for the British to achieve the goal of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, it was just an excuse for him to take advantage of the situation. With Yang Zhen's personality and skills, there are ways to knock on mountains and shock tigers, and it is not enough to use these stupid ways that can easily make oneself fall into passivity.

Of course, this is also a reason, and there are some other reasons that are unclear and unclear, which Guo Bingxun is also clear. However, he believes that since he personally participated in the negotiations with the Soviet Union, coupled with the uninvited visit of the United States and Britain, Yang Zhen, who was deeply stimulated, took the opportunity to vent his feelings in his heart.

Yang Zhen is a person with strong self-esteem, which Guo Bingxun knows very well. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to marry himself many times when he was captured because he couldn't bear the humiliation of being a prisoner of war. If it weren't for his own persuasion on the train, I'm afraid he would have been out of this world a long time ago.

And these days, the greed and contempt of the Soviets, and the arrogance of the United States and Britain, have put tremendous pressure on Yang Zhen, who has strong self-esteem, and has also accumulated considerable anger. In particular, the previous Moscow meeting of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union involved the aid of the Anti-United Nations, but the party involved in the Anti-United Nations was excluded.

Although in this matter, Yang Zhen has not said anything. But Guo Bingxun knows very well that the feeling of being slaughtered by others brought to him by this incident is a strict stimulus to the strong self-esteem that has been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

These things accumulated together, and Yang Zhen was more and more understated, light-hearted, and didn't care at all. Guo Bingxun, who knows him very well, knows that the more repressive he feels in his heart. One day, when you can't suppress it, maybe the rebound will be even stronger.

Tenacity Yang Zhen has, and Yang Zhen is not bad in endurance when necessary, but these do not mean that he can be a sheep against the grain. has a stormy character, and Yang Zhen is not without a soldier. In fact, Yang Zhen can endure it for such a long time without any appearance, Guo Bingxun is actually very surprised.

It's just that this time Yang Zhen would vent his anger on the American major general, but Guo Bingxun didn't expect it in advance. However, he also knew that the American major general who deserved it this time was also unlucky, but when he was very angry by the Soviets and angry by the sudden visit of the American and British delegations, he came to touch his bad head.

Guo Bingxun's understanding and mastery of Yang Zhen's character can be said to have been seen in his bones. It is precisely because he is the person who knows Yang Zhen's character best that he said today's words of persuasion. As for where the relationship between Yang Zhen and Yuan Zhiruo will go, Guo Bingxun doesn't want to say anything, he thinks that Yang Zhen will handle this matter well.
