Beiyang reactionaries

"Yes."

"Did Zhukov answer?"

"Not yet."

On November 1939, 11, an assassination incident that shocked the Japanese political circle took place in Japan.

About twenty people suddenly attacked Yoshiichi Tanaka and Shiqing Takahashi when they were returning home from the imperial meeting.The men were well trained and the entire attack took less than 5 minutes.

Not only did Tanaka Yoshiichi and Takahashi be resolved, but Qing's nine guards.

Moreover, the bomb attacked Takahashi's private car, and Tanaka was hit by three shots.Takahashi Shikiyoshi, who had served as Prime Minister for 12 terms in Japan and was known as the "Ten Prime Minister", was killed by a bomb on the spot.Tanaka Yoshiichi was taken to the hospital for surgery, but he was not out of danger and was still in the intensive care unit.

Especially the shot that pierced his lung had the greatest impact on Yoshiichi Tanaka's body.Whether Tanaka Yoshiichi can survive is a big question.As for returning to politics, this is already impossible.

This is the "December [-] Incident" that caused a sensation in Japanese history.

When many Japanese historians look back on this period of history, they believe that the "January [-] Incident" was the biggest turning point in modern Japan.It was precisely because of the "January [-] Incident" that Japan took a completely different path.Some Japanese scholars even believe that without this incident, Japan could gain enough benefits from the Second World War.Tanaka Yoshiichi was touted by many Japanese scholars as the greatest statesman in Japanese history.

Of course, these are the thoughts of later generations.

Because no one knows whether Tanaka Yoshiichi can change the history of Japan while alive.But it is precisely because Tanaka Yoshiichi faded out of the political arena that later people deified him instead.

After the incident, Emperor Hirohito of Japan urgently recalled Hirota Koki to serve as interim prime minister.Of course, this is only an interim cabinet prime minister.Various forces in Japan have begun to compete for the position of Prime Minister of the Japanese Cabinet.

Japanese politics is in turmoil.

Some are happy, some are worried.

On the Chinese side, domestic think tanks and senior domestic cadres are continuously called to discuss the next situation in Japan.The relationship between China and Japan is so "close", and changes in Japanese politics also affect China's policies.

At this time, Duan Xun paid more attention to the war in the northeast.

"Chairman, we have asked Zhukov to surrender several times, but there has been no response from Zhukov."

"Where's their army?"

"There is no sign of mobilization, and all the troops are deployed as before. Zhukov still puts the main force in the forward position to defend our army. It has been a few days since the bombing of Hailanpao and Khabarovsk, but Zhukov has nothing to change Meaning, including the anti-aircraft artillery units owned by the front-line troops, there is no sign of moving. And the Soviet Air Force has no movement. According to our analysis, although the Soviet Air Force lacks aviation fuel, there should be no two or three hundred fighter jets participating in a battle. Problematic. But Zhukov didn't use them either."

"This man can really bear it."

Listening to Liu Fei's introduction, Duan Xun frowned deeply.

Zhukov is really a hedgehog.

After seeing the battle between the Northern Military Region and the Xinjiang Military Region, the Northeast Military Region originally wanted to make a massive attack to completely annihilate Zhukov's Far Eastern Army.But Zhukov is like a tortoise, huddled aside.

He didn't even answer Blyuchel's order to attack.

Not only did Zhukov ignore the order to attack, but instead he shrank his troops and his defensive front.Concentrate forces to defend several important cities, and give up defense in other unimportant places.

Under such a difficult situation until now, he has been persevering.Although this is only to delay the failure, Zhukov's tortoise shell makes the Northeast Military Region very uncomfortable.

Couldn't swallow it in one bite.

If you want to swallow the army deployed by Zhukov, you can really break a tooth of the Chinese army.That's why the Northeast Military Region has not launched a strong attack for a long time.

"Next morning (Xu Yongchang), what do you think?"

"Chairman, Zhukov is now desperate and has no other way. However, under the most difficult situation, the method he chooses now is the method that can delay time the most. If he mobilizes troops, he will be in a mess. Now this It's the best way to stop with a static brake."

Xu Yongchang admired Zhukov very much.

In such a passive situation, he can still be so calm.

"He is a very capable general."

Duan Xun nodded, agreeing with Xu Yongchang's judgment.

In fact, in this battle, many generals of the Soviet army were very capable.Including Konev, the commander of the Soviet Transbaikal Military District who has surrendered, and Yershakov, who was captured in Xinjiang, are all excellent generals.But in terms of adaptability, none of them can match Zhukov.

Zhukov's reaction was the fastest.

Although the Soviet Far East Military Region is now in a great predicament, it has been able to maintain stability.If it is changing someone, don't say it is stabilizing the current situation.Mobilize troops in a little panic, and the entire front will collapse.

Zhukov is indeed a good general.

"But I don't care whether he is an excellent general or not. He must solve the Far East Military Region for me before December. Has the Northeast Military Region reported any new combat plans?"

"Chairman, the Northeast Military Region has just reported the combat plan. They plan to let Commander Dong Songyan use the First Corps to form an assault group and attack Birobidzhan across Heilongjiang. Conquer Birobidzhan and completely cut off Boli and Hailanpao The connection between Khabarovsk. There is Zhukov in Khabarovsk, and the army is an elite unit of the Soviet Far East Military Region. The logistics of Khabarovsk is sufficient, and the troops can be stable. But half of Hailanpao’s side is agricultural reclamation The troops reorganized by the army also have a serious shortage of logistics. Once the connection with Boli is cut off, it will definitely be shaken. Therefore, the plan of the Northeast Military Region is to cut off the connection between Boli and Hailanpao, and then concentrate on solving Hailan first. Fuck the Soviet army."

Xu Yongchang pointed to the map.

Birobidzhan is an important city between Khabarovsk and Hailanpao, which is a Jewish settlement.After entering the 30s, a large number of Jews fled Europe and came to the Russian Far East by using the Russian Trans-Siberian Railway.

Many people want to pass through Russia, either entering China or going to the United States through ports.However, the number of Jews remaining in the Soviet Far East was not small.In order to accommodate them, the Soviet Union set up a Jewish Autonomous State in the Khabarovsk Territory, and Birobidzhan is the capital of the Jewish Autonomous State.

In fact, it is the capital, with a population of only 4 to [-], so it is a small place.

But his position is more important, and it is an important link city between Khabarovsk and Hailanpao.While bombing Hailanpao and Khabarovsk, the Northeast Military Region is preparing to occupy Birobidzhan, completely cutting off the connection between Khabarovsk and Khabarovsk.

"Well, the plan works."

"The Northeast Military Region hopes that the Military Commission will negotiate with the North Korean side and let the North Korean side send another army to participate in the battle. With the Korean Army (Chinese troops stationed in North Korea, Commander-in-Chief Wang Mingzhang) and the three North Korean army units, a total of 20 people along the Siberia The railway advances northward to put pressure on Khabarovsk. Firmly nail Zhukov’s main force to Khabarovsk, and prevent them from interfering with Dong Songyan’s assault group, so that the troops can take Birobidzhan smoothly.”

"can."

Duan Xun nodded.

The North Korean army was taught by China, and its weapons and equipment are supported by China.In the past ten years, the North Korean army has included all three armies, the army, the navy, and the air force. If it is placed in many other places, it will definitely be at the level of a regional bully.

Of course, North Korea gave up a lot of benefits in order to build such an army.

Many mines in northern North Korea have a lot of capital from China.Like the most famous Maoshan Iron Mine, Chinese capital occupies 65% of the share.Of course, without the investment of Chinese capital, the resources in the northern part of North Korea would not be exploited so quickly.Moreover, the largest buyer of the mined mines is still China.

And their financial institutions.

Their entire financial system was built with the help of China.The financial stability of North Korea depends on the support of Chinese capital.It can be said that the economies of China and North Korea are completely tied together.

It is normal to invite the North Korean army to fight at this time.

They are also very willing to fight.

"Ren Chao (Li Jishen), you are in charge of coordination issues. The specific negotiations will be handed over to the Northeast Military Region, and let them make requests with the North Korean side according to the needs of the battlefield."

"Yes."

"How is the negotiation over there in Akmolinsk? Is there any sign that the Soviet Union is about to make concessions?"
