After the flower-laying ceremony, the most anticipated highlight officially began. Everyone held their breath and looked forward to it.
Chen Mingren, who presided over the military parade, wore a spotless lieutenant general uniform, drove to the Tiananmen Square viewing platform in a military car, saluted Lin Sen and Chiang Kai-shek first, and then reported loudly: "Report to Chairman Lin, report to Chairman Jiang, the Chinese Communist Party The army, navy and air force of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China are ready for review, please review!"
Lin Sen nodded: "Start!"
Chen Mingren turned around and said in a long voice, "The military parade has begun!"
All of a sudden, military music was played, accompanied by cascading cheers and applause. There were hundreds of wired tweeters along the way from Wanping City to Tiananmen Square, and an excited female commentary sounded from inside: "Dear fellow citizens, Distinguished guests, overseas Chinese, and foreign friends, the military parade has officially begun! The troops to be paraded will start from Wanping City, pass through Lugou Bridge, cross Yongding River, and arrive at Tiananmen Square along the main street.
The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth teams have already set off!These five phalanxes are heroic phalanxes!The soldiers in the phalanx are heroes who fought bloody battles to defend our country!They are all the best in the national army, and their honor makes them the first team to play!They are the role models of the national army, they represent the national army, and they also represent those martyrs of the national army who have died for the country and cannot participate in the military parade!The first square team has a total of 352 people, of which 37 people have won the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, 288 people have won the Baoding Medal, and..."
This commentator is none other than Liu Wugou.
After learning that Jiang Weiguo was organizing this military parade, Liu Wugou was very interested, and pestered Jiang Weiguo to participate all day long. Jiang Weiguo was so soft and hard on her that he couldn't help it, so he let her be the commentator.
Liu Wugou is now in a studio behind the viewing platform, and her voice will resound through the cable broadcast and hundreds of high-pitched speakers throughout the venue and the entire Beiping, and at the same time, it will be transmitted to countless radios at home and abroad through radio waves. .
Amidst the cheers, the first batch of phalanxes passed through Tiananmen Square. There were five in total.
Each square team is organized into 25×14+2 with a total of 352 people. The 352 people in the first square team are all grassroots officers and soldiers who have won the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal and the Baoding Medal on the battlefield. There are no disabled and healthy soldiers with no arms or legs, because the 352 members of the second square team are all disabled soldiers who lost their left arms or left hands on the battlefield, and the third square team lost their right arms on the battlefield. Or disabled soldiers with right hands, the fourth square team has a total of 704 people, because all the soldiers who were reviewed were disabled soldiers who lost their legs and feet on the battlefield and could not walk on their own. They are all sitting in wheelchairs, and each person needs a person to push the wheelchair Walk.
However, the most eye-catching is the fifth heroic phalanx, because the 352 members of the fifth heroic phalanx are all female soldiers, from Jiang Weiguo's "Black Widow" troops, and the officers and soldiers of the five heroic phalanxes all wear on their chests. with medals.
On the road from Wanping City to Tiananmen Square, the crowd on both sides of the road burst into applause and shouted "You are doing well", "You are amazing", "You are all heroes of our country".
The disabled soldiers in the phalanx burst into tears.
Chiang Kai-shek, Jiang Weiguo, Chen Mingren and others saluted one after another, because the heroes' formation was just like its name, and the formations were all heroes of the country.
Behind the heroic phalanx, accompanied by the sound of sonorous and powerful military boots, the infantry phalanx of the army marched into the parade ground with arrogance and arrogance, with shiny German helmets, black and bright military boots, bright imitation German military uniforms, The snow-white gloves make these infantrymen look heroic and mighty, and their weapons are even more sophisticated. There are three guns in their hands, including an MP-38 submachine gun, a 98k rifle on their backs, and a shell gun on their waists. The team is magnificent.
Of course, it is impossible for the Nanjing Army to be so rich. An ordinary infantry can be equipped with a submachine gun, a rifle, and a pistol at the same time. Submachine guns, but the number is not large. After all, China is still very poor, and how can it afford the level of weapons of the Americans.
But no matter what, the infantry phalanx that took the lead surprised the foreign guests at the scene. The infantry exuded a compelling fighting spirit and arrogance to win. It is obvious that these infantry are experienced in battle and actual combat Veterans with rich experience, who have killed and seen blood.
China has fought wars year after year, and its military has rich experience in actual combat, which is not inferior to that of other major powers.
Under the sun, the helmets and bayonets of the infantrymen in the infantry platoon shone brightly in the sun. At this time, the sun was high and the infantrymen were sweating profusely, but their military posture was still as firm as iron. Unmoving as loose.
All of a sudden, the spectacular scene and impressive momentum made the crowd and guests applaud one after another.
When passing by the viewing platform of Tiananmen Square, the two major officers of the infantry team leader saluted Lin Sen and Chiang Kai-shek on the viewing platform in unison. unanimous.
The two majors shouted together: "Long live the Chinese nation!"
The army infantry in the phalanx shouted together: "Long live the Chinese nation! Long live! Long live!"
The two majors then shouted together: "The Republic of China will surely win!"
The army infantry in the square team stormed the waves together: "The Republic of China will win! It will win! It will win!"
Hundreds of thousands of people at the scene were infected together, and enthusiastically uttered the shocking slogans of "Long live the Chinese nation" and "The Republic of China will win", and the foreign guests on the viewing platform praised it one after another.
After the sound of the military boots of the infantry phalanx, there was a clear and equally neat sound of horseshoes, and the cavalry phalanx followed closely behind the infantry phalanx.
The white horse team was all white horses, the black horse team was all black horses, and the yellow horse team was all yellow horses. They drove into the parade ground at the same distance and at the same speed.
After entering the center of the parade ground, the cavalry with riding boots on their horses pulled out their bright sabers in unison. The square team suddenly had a lot of sabers and sharp blades piercing the air, accompanied by the same deafening "Long live the Chinese nation" and "The Republic of China will surely win" slogan.
The cavalry was as well-equipped as the infantry, except for sabers, there were carbine guns, submachine guns, pistols, and the last team of horses dragged a row of machine guns and a row of infantry cannons.
Although the cavalry has been declining today, and its status in warfare has been replaced by the rise of armored forces, the cavalry is still very useful on the Eastern battlefield, including the Soviet battlefield.
The Nanjing Army still retains cavalry units. The main divisions have cavalry brigades, and the secondary divisions also have cavalry regiments.
The establishment of the cavalry can only reach "brigades", no matter how big it is, it is unnecessary. There is no need for cavalry divisions, let alone cavalry corps.
Thousands of cavalry can launch raids, night raids, and long-distance raids on the battlefield. Tens of thousands of cavalry are too noisy and will become a living target for the opponent.
At this time, the cavalry could no longer undertake large-scale combat tasks alone.
Behind the cavalry formation was the artillery formation. The god of war, who was not angry and arrogant, was dragged by heavy vehicles, and slowly entered the parade ground. The momentum was overwhelming, and the artillerymen stood on the artillery carriages and saluted in unison.
Artillery has always been Jiang Weiguo's heart disease. Germany and the Soviet Union are two great powers. Germany pays more attention to tanks, and the Soviet Union pays more attention to artillery. I want more and better artillery, especially large-caliber heavy artillery, because the nickname of "God of War" for artillery is not for nothing.
Take the example of the Battle of Shangganling, which is well-known to Chinese people in later generations. In this battle, the volunteers fought tenaciously, and the fighting spirit and fighting will of the volunteer infantry who participated in the battle naturally needless to say, but there is a data in the battle results. 70% of the casualties in the Battle of Shangganling were killed by volunteer artillery fire.
Improving the heavy firepower with artillery as the main force is one of the main measures to improve the combat effectiveness of the Nanjing Army, but unfortunately, China's military industry is not yet strong at this time, and the scale of artillery production is not large, far inferior to that of the Soviet Union.
The Nanjing Army does lack large-caliber heavy artillery.
Behind the artillery formation is the armored formation. As soon as they entered the arena, the audience burst into cheers. They saw forty steel chariots slowly marching into the parade ground in a horizontal formation, all of which were German soldiers. The No. [-] tank (Panther tank) of the Chinese Communist Party, whose crawler wheels were crushed so that the granite pavement rumbled loudly, although there were only forty of them, the momentum was overwhelming, which aroused bursts of applause from the crowd.
The Leopard tank is undoubtedly the best tank in the world at this time. The ongoing German-Soviet war has proved this point. During the German-Soviet tank war, the German Leopard tank was almost invincible and invincible. There was almost no Soviet tank It can block the Leopard tank (the t-34 has just entered preliminary experimental production at this time, and it will not be put into mass production until two months later, but the t-34 is not an opponent of the Leopard), and because of Jiang Weiguo's targeted changes, The Leopard is more powerful than its original history, and the engine has been designed with a diesel engine to make it more maneuverable.
Jiang Weiguo has a production line for Leopard tanks, which can be made in China, but the craftsmanship of the Leopard is too complicated and the material requirements are also high, so the number of domestically produced Leopards is still very small.
Seeing the armored phalanx of the Chinese army, the German representative was elated, and the Japanese representative was full of "envy, jealousy and hatred". Because of the internal agreement of the Allied countries, "Japan only needs to expand its navy with all its strength, and the army does not need to expand", so the German army did not take it seriously. The design drawings and productivity of the Leopard tank were given to the Japanese army. As a result, the Japanese could only look at the Chinese army with the latest German tanks that the Japanese army could not equip. Complicated, he felt vigilant and worried. Although the Soviet representative was expressionless, there was strong anxiety in his eyes.
The armored formation is not just the No. [-] tank, but also the No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] tanks and armored vehicles. After that, the energetic engineers, communications troops, and medical soldiers entered the arena one after another. After the Army Corps, the Navy Corps followed by the Marine Corps Corps, Submarine Corps, Surface Ship Sailor Corps, Torpedo Boat Corps, At the same time, thunder rolled in the sky, causing the same boiling cheers on the ground, because the air force's air force came.
"Please pay attention! The Air Force's air squadron is here!" Liu Wugou danced with excitement, his voice full of uncontrollable joy and excitement, "The first wave of aircraft has flown over Tiananmen Square! It's a fighter squadron! Sixteen planes The bf-109 fighter jets came in a 'four-aircraft formation', and four 'four-aircraft formations' formed a diamond-shaped air phalanx that penetrated Changhong! Oh, not only that, more planes are coming! It's still a bf-109 fighter jet Blinding the sky! Swallowing mountains and rivers! The sound of the plane's engine almost drowned out the cheers and applause of millions of people below! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven....Oh, I can't count It’s coming, it dazzled me, there must be more than ten fighter formations, that’s almost 180 fighters! Everyone, please pay attention, there are numbers next to the cockpit of each plane, that’s not the aircraft number, but the enemy number Look at the first one! 180 five! My God! 109 five enemy planes! That bf-180 shot down 180 five enemy planes! The pilot must be Gao Zhihang! The number one ace of our air force! It's incredible! He actually shot down [-] five enemy planes! How did he do it? Gao Zhihang is really amazing! So great! So amazing! I must take a photo with him, and I hope he can sign me.. .”
"Hey, hey!" Jiang Weiguo, who ran into the studio, knocked on the table in dissatisfaction, "I said, what are you talking about? What's the matter with your last few words? It's not in the manuscript!"
"The bomber team is coming!" Liu Wugou ignored Jiang Weiguo at all, she was so excited that she almost yelled, "In front is the ju-88 bomber, followed by the ju-87 dive bomber! Behind is the 'Sparrow' (hs -123) Attack aircraft (strike aircraft)! Oops! Another large number of planes are flying over! The silver light is shining, covering the sky and covering the sky, making people dizzy! It’s so spectacular! Attention everyone! These planes are all developed and produced by our country! The first row It's the Sparrowhawks, the second row is the Falcons, the third row is the Falcons dive bombers, then the Ospreys, and the last row is the Owls..."
The mighty debut of the air force fleet pushed the atmosphere of the parade to the highest peak. Waves of fighter planes arranged in a dense and spectacular formation continuously roared across Tiananmen Square, causing endless cheers, applause, and applause. The ground below the fleet On the parade ground, the foot team also passed through the parade in an endless stream, followed by the air force pilot team, airborne team, air defense team, gendarmerie team, militia team, and armed police team.
The military parade, which lasted for more than an hour, submerged the city of Beiping again and again in the climax of extreme excitement. The mighty military appearance of the troops receiving the parade greatly inspired the hearts of the Chinese people who witnessed this magnificent scene. I was dumbfounded, my palms were numb, and I still felt unable to express my joy and excitement, as well as my strong confidence in the country, national self-esteem, and national pride.
The people were overjoyed: With such a powerful army under their protection, what are they afraid of? The slogans of "Long live the Chinese nation" and "The Republic of China will surely win" echoed over the city of Beiping for a long time.
The hearts of the guests were filled with turbulent waves. The Chinese high-level officials and representatives from all walks of life in the country were naturally overjoyed and high-spirited. Overseas Chinese leaders such as Situ Meitang, Tan Kah Kee, and Hu Wenhu were even more surprised and excited. The German representatives were very happy, and the stronger China is The Japanese representatives congratulated on the surface, but their hearts were mixed. The representatives of the United States, Britain and France were generally surprised and disturbed.
Jiang Weiguo quietly looked at the expressions of the representatives of various countries in a corner of the viewing platform. At this time, Liu Qihu trotted over, handed two secret documents to Jiang Weiguo, and said in a low voice: "One just came from the front line in Kiev, The German army has made a major breakthrough on the Kiev battlefield, and Chernihiv, the key point in the northeast of Kiev, was captured by the German 6th Army more than two hours ago!"
"Okay!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't help being overjoyed, "This good news came at just the right time! To cooperate with our grand military parade, and to work together, I don't believe that Stalin will continue to carry it stubbornly! What about the other one?"
Liu Qihu rolled his eyes: "Feng Yuxiang is about to move in the northwest!"
Chapter 462 Intrigue (1)
Just as Jiang Weiguo expected, the Beiping military parade did deter the Soviet authorities.
Regarding China's current looting, Stalin adopted tough countermeasures, firstly because he was extremely unwilling and unwilling to cede territory for peace, and secondly because he had high expectations and fantasies about the Kiev battle, and planned to use the Soviet army on the Kiev battlefield Thirdly, he thought he had mastered China's trump card of "not daring to send troops, but only wanted to blackmail"; fourthly, because he still despised the Chinese army, but the situation turned suddenly The Chinese army and the German army fought fiercely on the Kiev battlefield for more than a month, and the situation began to be clearly unfavorable to the Soviet army. The strength displayed by the Chinese army (Nanjing army) through the Peking military parade also exceeded the expectations of the Soviet authorities.
"Although China is still very backward, it is an indisputable fact that the Chinese military, which has been through many wars, is getting stronger and stronger.
The size of the Chinese Army is undoubtedly among the top three in the world. As for equipment, although the millions of Chinese Army members cannot be as well-equipped as the army formations that appeared in the military parade, if one million people meet this standard, the Chinese Army The overall combat effectiveness of China is very amazing; the Chinese Air Force is also developing rapidly, and it should have about 100 aircraft of various types, and they are all first-class in terms of performance and quality, and they even have the ability to produce their own aircraft; It is difficult to develop due to various objective factors, but there has also been considerable progress, especially the recent successful lease of a light aircraft carrier from the Japanese Navy, which means that the Chinese Navy is not complacent, but has always insisted on wanting to become a powerful Navy desires.
In fact, for land warfare, the army and air force are enough, and the navy doesn’t matter!” This is a relatively pertinent comment made by an American newspaper on the military parade in Beiping, especially the last sentence, the implication is self-evident.
The war broke out between Germany and the Soviet Union, and China became a decisive force.
Despite his deep-rooted contempt for the Chinese, Stalin had to lose his composure.
Molotov, Shaposhnikov and other senior Soviet military and political cores around Stalin all reached a consensus. They all believed that "the Soviet Union cannot withstand the attack of Germany and China, so it must avoid being caught in a two-front war. In order to be able to wholeheartedly To deal with Germany, stabilizing China is the top priority of the Soviet Union. From the overall and long-term perspective, temporarily ceding some land to China and feeding China with benefits will do more good than harm to the Soviet Union.”
Molotov, Shaposhnikov and other high-level leaders earnestly advised Stalin, repeatedly analyzing the pros and cons, "There is no doubt that Germany is definitely trying to win over China. If the Soviet Union does not show tangible benefits, even if China's willingness to participate in the war is actually It’s not high, and sooner or later, because of Germany’s strong wooing and the Soviet Union’s tenacity, they will make up their minds to join the war. At that time, the Soviet Union will be defeated.
Stalin sullenly said, "What if the Chinese are greedy and aggressive? We offer 100 million, and after they accept it, they will ask us for another 200 million!"
"Comrade Stalin, you are very right to worry!" Shaposhnikov said, "We are inextricably fighting with the Germans, and the Chinese are standing aside, watching, and completely controlling the initiative. Therefore, China must also be busy with the war! "
"Comrade Shaposhnikov, what do you mean..." Stalin stared closely at Shaposhnikov.
Shaposhnikov analyzed clearly: "On the one hand, we are invaded by the Germans, and the Chinese can constantly coerce us. We cannot allow the Chinese to be slaughtered, and we cannot let the Chinese be 'too idle'. They must also They have to be busy and do not have enough skills, so that they have no energy and time to coerce us. On the other hand, we are busy with the war now, and the Chinese are hurrying to recharge their batteries. When this war is over and we defeat Germany, we will Exhausted, but China has already finished recuperating and has replaced Germany as the new biggest hidden danger of the Soviet Union. The defense situation of the Soviet Union has not been completely improved!"
Stalin nodded: "Comrade Shaposhnikov, you are very right!" He took a deep breath, "I understand what you mean, instigate the Chinese and Japanese to continue the war, no doubt, China and Japan once again launched a full-scale war. War is the most beneficial to the Soviet Union. China can no longer follow behind Germany and pretend to be aggressive against us. Both China and Japan will suffer, and they will not become a hidden danger to the Soviet Union. However..." He frowned, "China and Japan have already cooperated with Germany It must be very difficult to provoke them to fight again..."
"Comrade Stalin, the alliance between China and Japan is very fragile!" Shaposhnikov said, "It's just a kind of mutual use with ulterior motives. As long as we are willing to invest a lot of money, we can provoke them to kill each other. !"
"Territory?" Stalin was sullen. For other countries' territories, Stalin had always had a big appetite, but for his own territory, Stalin took it as his life. Letting him cede the land was no less than cutting his flesh with a knife.
"Not just territory!" Shaposhnikov looked calm, "We have to come up with more!"
The muscles on Stalin's face trembled a few times. He tried his best to control his thoughts and let his reason suppress his emotions.
"Okay!" Stalin said in a deep voice, "we can make some appropriate concessions and sacrifices, but sooner or later we will make those Chinese pay back with interest!" An angry and cold light flashed in his eyes.
Molotov breathed a sigh of relief, and he glanced gratefully at Shaposhnikov.
It is Molotov's responsibility to delay time on the negotiating table with China, but Stalin did not allow Molotov to really cede territory to seek peace, so he can only "empty hands and white wolves". The Chinese side will definitely not believe Molotov Lotov's empty promise, so he has repeatedly turned against customers, making Molotov extremely passive at the negotiating table.
Now, thanks to Shaposhnikov's help, Stalin reluctantly agreed to "make some appropriate concessions and sacrifices." Naturally, Molotov's burden was much lighter at once.
"Comrade Stalin, the front line of Kiev..." Shaposhnikov paused, and said cautiously, "Comrade Budyonny sent the latest report, our army has fallen into a bitter battle. Basically, there is not much improvement, especially the fall of Chernihiv, which made the situation of our army even worse. The rear of Kiev has been broken through by the German army and has been firmly established by it. If it continues to drag on, I am very worried that our army will into a predicament of total siege.
Comrade Stalin, the Germans are planning and premeditatedly trying to surround our million-strong army in Kiev and eat them in one fell swoop, we have to..."
"Kiev cannot give up!" Stalin sternly interrupted Shaposhnikov, "If Kiev is lost, Ukraine will be completely lost! Moscow will be directly exposed to the Germans! The prestige and international status of the Soviet Union , the military prestige and morale of the Soviet Red Army, and the confidence of the Soviet people will be greatly hit! I do not believe that the Germans have the ability to eat our troops in Kiev! How could so many troops, more than 180 million people, be eaten! Hitler didn't have such a big mouth, even if he swallowed it, he would die! The Soviet Red Army had more people than the German Army! The Soviet Red Army not only had to hold its ground, but also had to launch a counterattack! In addition, you also know that the Chinese are facing We take advantage of the fire, once the Soviet Red Army abandons Kiev, it will definitely be regarded by the outside world as an important symbol of the Soviet Red Army’s inability to resist the German army, and the Chinese will definitely intensify their extortion! Blackmail us with confidence! Remember, this Kiev battle is not just for Blocking the Germans is also to curb the ambitions of the Chinese, Japanese, British, and Turks towards the Soviet Union!" His tone was full of resoluteness that did not allow opposition.
Shaposhnikov argued: "Comrade Stalin, Comrade Budyonny is on the front line in Kiev. He knows the situation on the front line better than us! Since he said that the situation in Kiev is already in danger, we should trust his judgment and report ..."
"That's a matter of his personal ability!" Stalin's expression and tone became more and more severe, "If he lacks confidence in winning this crucial Kiev battle, I will not force him to do it! I can let Timosin Comrade Brother will replace him immediately! Alright! There is no need to talk about this matter!" He waved his hand violently.
Concerned about gains and losses, Molotov, Shaposhnikov and others left Stalin's office.
At the Sino-Soviet negotiation table, Yang Jie and Jiang Tingfu were satisfied to see a trace of timidity on Molotov's face that he couldn't suppress despite his efforts.
"It seems that the military parade has worked, and the German army has made a major breakthrough on the front line in Kiev. The old man has to bow his head!" Yang Jie thought to himself.
After some polite remarks that both sides thought were long-winded but had to be said, Molotov changed his previous oblique style of speaking, and came up with the latest Soviet plan very directly: "...According to Comrade Stalin's special instructions From the perspective of the future long-term cooperation and development between the two countries and the friendship between the two countries and the two peoples, our country is willing to make sacrifices and concessions again, and completely abolish the "Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty" and the "Sino-Russian Survey and Division of the Northwest Boundary Covenant" ", "Tacheng Boundary Treaty", "Ili Treaty", "Khobdo Tarbahatai Boundary Treaty", "Revised Treaty" and the five subsequent demarcation protocols, etc. In your country's view, more than a dozen documents are not correct. A treaty of equal treaties, amicably resolve territorial disputes in the outer Xinjiang region with your country.
According to this plan, our country will allocate a total of about 50 square kilometers of land in western Xinjiang and northwestern Xinjiang..." He paused and said with difficulty, "Divide it to China!"
Although Yang Jie and Jiang Tingfu tried their best to keep calm, they were already in extreme excitement: Outer Xinjiang! Lost land of 50 square kilometers!In this way, it was recovered without bloodshed!After taking it back, the western border of China will be pushed back to Lake Balkhash!Lake Balkhash, located outside western Xinjiang and in eastern Central Asia, is as much a pain to China as Lake Baikal. These two large lakes were once within China’s territory, but were deprived of them by the Soviets. Now, Lake Baikal is back , Lake Balkhash is coming back too!Speaking of which, excluding Outer Mongolia and Xinjiang, Soviet Russia occupied a total of about 170 million square kilometers of Chinese territory. Through the last Far East War, China has successfully recovered 100 million in the Outer Northeast and 20 in the Lake Baikal region. Take back the 50 in Outer Xinjiang, then basically all the Chinese territory occupied by Soviet Russia will come back.
(Territorial disputes between China and Soviet Russia can be divided into three types. One is that Soviet Russia invaded and occupied the mainland of China; the other is that Soviet Russia invaded a small country that was originally a Chinese vassal state; Unowned places that originally belonged to neither Soviet Russia nor China, such as Siberia.
The first kind is definitely something that Chinese people cannot give up. The second kind can only be accepted if it can be accepted. If it can’t be taken back, it can only be acquiesced.
)
"Mr. Molotov, your wording is inappropriate!" Jiang Tingfu corrected Molotov, "It is not 'divided to China', but 'returned to China'!"
