Yang Zhen turned the pen in his hand, and said in a somewhat interested tone: "We are at the bottom of the victories of the previous years, so that the Americans think that we are still useful. As soon as they feel that we are of no use to them, and even affect their so-called interests in China, they will tighten their pockets. ”

"I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf. Although we have paid a certain price, and although this price is very great in the eyes of many people, the assistance of the United States and Britain will not be given in vain without spending money. In particular, what we need is not equipment, but technology and a large number of equipment needed to build a complete modern industry, which in itself is much more difficult than fighting for equipment. ”

"It's like a cat teaching a tiger a skill, but never teaching a tiger the ability to climb a tree. This truth is clear to those capitalists who have interests in their bones better than anyone else. Be simple to equip and they can meet at least most of your requirements when you need them. ”

"Because as long as you don't have modern industry, your life will always be in the hands of others. When I want to give it to you, give you some like a charity. Once they feel that your savings are a threat to them, they will not hesitate to cut off all your blood vessels. ”

"The Western powers are all masters of this kind of trick. They can meet a lot of your requirements when they use you. But as soon as he feels that you threaten their rule, or threaten their own safety, or even a little disobedient, just like the Japanese now, he can immediately turn his face. ”

"Boss, the reason why the Japanese have been able to rise is not only the willpower of the nation itself, but also the support of the British. Without the support of the American and British consortiums, the Japanese would not be able to fight a war. But now, as soon as the United States and Britain sense the threat of the Japanese, they immediately begin to impose economic sanctions on them. ”

"As for the excuse, it's too simple, the so-called **, the so-called**, can be an excuse and a reason for them to sanction you. As long as you don't have a modern industry for a day, and you can't do without external blood transfusions for a day, they have a way to rectify you. ”

"There is no way to take you on the battlefield, he will attack you from within. Externally, economic and military sanctions have been imposed, and internally, some people have been co-opted to engage in the so-called Western political system. Don't forget, boss, in their eyes that we and the Soviets have an ancestor. Even in their eyes, we are still a section of the Soviet-controlled Comintern. ”

"In the midst of this war, now they need us, and it is easy to ask for assistance with weapons and equipment. But what about the boss after the war? Will Chongqing allow us to save zài? Relative to the Chongqing side, which is itself pro-American and British, whose position is more important in the post-war scale? ”

"We don't take advantage of this opportunity to develop our own modern industry. When the time comes, the Americans' aid will be cut off, and the Soviets will once again regard their own interests as the foundation, and only their own interests will be in their eyes, and the interests of other countries will be nothing to them. ”

"If we don't take advantage of this time to build our own modern industry, what should we do when foreign help is cut off? Do you bow down and lay down your arms to be slaughtered, or do you go back to the past, drill ravines, and fight guerrillas? We have to learn from Yan Xishan, not Chongqing. ”

"I want to fight, but your guns have no ammunition, the cannons are broken and one is missing, and the machine guns are blown up and there is no replenishment. Cars and tanks run out of fuel and do not have the necessary sources of spare parts. In wartime, get a little ammunition, and knock out one shot and one less shot. In this situation, do we still have to go the old way and fight hard with others? ”

"I also know that this is the time to be simple. It is even more difficult to obtain industrial equipment and production technology. The Americans will not allow us, who are pro-Soviet in their eyes, to use this war to really develop and grow and threaten the rule of the Chongqing side. They will give them the equipment, because they also know that it is not okay to ask us to work hard and not bleed. ”

"But these industrial equipment and production technologies are like the last thing a cat has mastered to climb a tree. They won't give it to you unless they have to. They will be extremely cautious about these things that have a bearing on their own vital interests, and even more so on the pattern of post-war China. In our Internationale, we are told again and again that there has never been a savior in this world. ”

"There are also capitalist countries, where money and profit come first. If people want your market, how can they hand over the technology in their hands to you, and spend a huge price to cultivate an opponent for themselves? So you learned these techniques in the reverse and they grabbed the market? ”

"We don't have anything to exchange and we don't have enough money to industrialize and modernize. Coupled with our current political status, it is really too difficult to engage in construction. If we don't come up with something, how can we make Americans think that they can't do without us, at least for now? How can I make them bleed? ”

"It's true that we made a deal with them, but those things I said a long time ago, and when it comes to them, he's a deal. If you don't take it seriously, it's just a pile of waste paper. Without execution and fulfillment, an agreement will always be just a pile of garbage and a pile of waste paper. They are nothing in the face of interests. ”

"The Americans, in particular, once they are really mobilized, the threat of the Japanese is nothing more than scabies for them. With the strength of the Americans, they can easily solve the Japanese threat in the Pacific without half their bodies, with only one arm and one leg stretched. ”

"The difference in national strength between the two countries is so far away that even without us, the Japanese would have survived for four years. If we don't think of a way, before the Americans come to their senses, get back some of the equipment and technology that we want, which is to build our own modern industry, we will only be staring at the equipment. ”

"After the Americans turn to the whole front to counterattack and rely on their own strong national strength to completely defeat the Japanese, then what awaits us in the future can only be a bamboo basket for nothing. Even if one day we seize power in the whole country, if we want to build our own modern industry, the price we will pay will be unbearable. ”

"Boss, in front of the seemingly simple, but in fact shrewd Americans, it is basically impossible to get what you want without paying the price. Even if we want equipment, if we don't make the United States feel that these equipment can play most of the role they want us to play, the Americans will not give us a rifle or a single bullet. ”

"Finally, and most crucially. This year and next will be a critical period for our development and construction. And now the Japanese are attacking cities and conquering cities all the way in the Pacific Theater, and it looks like they are all the way. But in reality, its hand has been stretched to the extreme. The offensive, in fact, has reached its final stage. In most areas, they have already begun to move to defensive operations. ”

"Southeast Asia, which is rich in oil, is really important to Japan. But if Southeast Asia was the oil depot of the Japanese, then Northeast China was the lifeline for the Japanese to sustain the war. Without South Manchuria's industry and its grain and mineral resources, the Japanese would not have been able to fight this war. ”

"Compared to Southeast Asia, Northeast China seems to have no oil, but it is the real lifeline of the Japanese. The entire Mukden Arsenal supplied 60 percent of the ammunition of the Japanese army invading China, as well as most of the light weapons supplied by the Japanese army. The coal in Fushun and Fuxin, the petroleum refining and chemical industry in Fushun, and the non-ferrous metal smelting industry in Huludao were all fundamental to the Japanese army's continuation of the war. ”

"Manchuria-Mongolia is the lifeblood of Japan, and the Japanese have been shouting for more than a year. Judging by their previous practices, all actions were also carried out in accordance with this slogan. Occupy the Northeast first, rely on the resources of the Northeast, and gradually encroach on the Guannai, and finally launch a full-scale war of aggression against China, and even start a war against the whole world. ”

"As long as they maintain a strong position against China, they will not give up their rule in the northeast. And our existence has actually threatened the seemingly stable rule of the Japanese army in the northeast. The North Manchurian is lost, and the South Manchurian is naturally unstable. If South Manchurian is unstable, the Japanese will be greatly weakened in terms of their potential for sustained war. ”

"Even in order to maintain the progress of the war, after the Japanese army ended its offensive in Southeast Asia, it was inevitable to turn back and solve the Northeast problem. If we don't take advantage of the fact that a considerable part of their forces are still scattered in the islands of the Pacific Ocean and Southeast Asia, we will completely scare them and make them have some scruples about our troops when they face a counterattack by the US military. ”

"So once they bring back all the troops in Southeast Asia, or start the general mobilization at home, then it will really be a more difficult test for us. Boss, the basis for determining the outcome of the future war between Japan and the United States is not the army but the navy. ”

"We don't have a navy, so we don't pose any threat to the Japanese at sea. Before the US Navy's Pacific Fleet recovers, the Japanese can completely use the main force of the Navy to continue to deal with the Americans, retain a certain amount of troops in Southeast Asia, and use the main force of the Army against us. ”

"Even if the Anti-Japanese Federation has made great progress now, once Japan fights back with all the strength of the whole country, then what awaits us will be an even more brutal battle. We don't have our own aircraft industry, planes knocked out one less one, tanks destroyed one less one. However, the construction we are engaged in in North Manchuria cannot be concealed from the eyes of the Japanese at all. ”

"Although we have signed aid agreements with the United States and the United Kingdom, only God knows when the weapons and equipment in these agreements will be in place, especially the heavy equipment that we cannot produce ourselves. Without the replenishment of heavy equipment, millet and rifles alone could not stop the Japanese army from counterattacking the northeast. Without effective air defense, a large-scale bombing can completely destroy the results of our construction. ”

"If we do not seize the rare opportunity of the Japanese troops scattered throughout Southeast Asia and the western Pacific Ocean, and completely hurt and frighten the Japanese, once the Japanese are allowed to withdraw the main forces in Southeast Asia, especially the huge air force, then what awaits us will be completely wiped out. With our little industrial foundation, we can't even afford to withstand several strategic bombings by the Japanese army. ”

"If it is said that Chongqing's industry is a weak Miss Jiao. Then the industry we are building is a baby just out of swaddling. He is even more powerless, and he can't withstand any of his tosses. On the surface, the Japanese look like wolves, but in fact the character of this people is dogs. ”

"If you beat them to death, and after they see you from now on, they don't dare to bark with their tails between their legs, and that's really called successfully subduing them. If we don't give them a thorough bloodletting, and completely cut off their idea of going north to recapture the whole northeast, our base areas in North Manchuria will not be able to live in peace for a day, and we will not be allowed to stop and engage in construction. Our troops will also face even greater pressure. There are only a thousand days to be a thief in this world, and there is no one who is a thief for a thousand days. ”
