Volume 12, The Iron Curtain of the Cold War, Chapter 1, Hand Talk

.

After the war, China and Germany became the winners of the war, while other countries were losers, but those who depended on the Axis powers could obtain relatively relaxed conditions, while those in the allied countries would be subject to severe sanctions, territories, economy, and high-end technical talents and scientists all became the things of China and Germany.

At this time, an extremely invisible storm was brewing. One earth could accommodate five or six powerful countries, but could not accommodate two superpowers. This was undoubtedly a tragedy. After winning the war, the rift between China and Germany began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye. This difference was unilaterally decided by Germany to maximize economic relief.

"Bastard!" It was New Year's Day in 1920..... Sydney, the capital of Australia, China's largest overseas province, is still full of spring. You can often see sexy girls in bikini playing volleyball on the beach. However, Zhao Gang, who was on vacation in Sydney, had no intention of looking at these women. The Germans' information was very clear. They did not want the powerful countries such as Europe and the United States to completely fall. This aid plan is a clear proof. Perhaps we should, despite Germany's opposition, forcibly demolish the equipment and personnel of these countries, even if we pay the price of a complete break with Germany.

"Call Song Bingce to discuss it." This thought came to Zhao Gang's mind. In the two world wars, Song Bingce performed very well. To a certain extent, Zhao Gang believed that the marshal's ability was closest to him, so he would ask Song Bingce to discuss it whenever there was a major event, so some people believed that Song Bingce was already an inevitable candidate for the next president.

One day later, Song Bingce took a special plane to the temporary palace of the Emperor's Land in Sydney, a five-star hotel. After three tightly sentries and countless secret sentries, Song Bingce met Zhao Gang in the living room of the building. Under the huge map of the mountains and rivers, Zhao Gang's figure seemed so small. But when Zhao Gang raised his head, Song Bingce felt that His Majesty's light blocked the map of the mountains and rivers.

"Bingce, you are here. How are the army doing the reduction in land recently?" Zhao Gang stood up and walked to Song Bingce and patted his shoulder. Generally, he only acted so humane to his former subordinates. Song Bingce only felt hot in his heart, but his face still looked calm. He thought for a while and said, "At present, the total number of military personnel in our country is 15.6 million. There are 346 divisions that have been cancelled, and the number of people dismissed has reached 9.7 million. The next second phase of the severance will have to be cancelled, and the number of people dismissed will be 2.8 million. By then, the number of people dismissed will be reduced to only 3.2 million. Your Majesty......" Song Bingce said this and looked at Zhao Gang, but he didn't dare to say it. Zhao Gang saw it and laughed.

"Bing Ce. Why do you become a mother-in-law after marrying a wife? Just say something directly, I don't like your hesitant look!"

Zhao Gangdi's teasing made Song Bingce's face turn red, and he coughed a few times before he returned to normal. He said, "Your Majesty, Germany's intention is not good now, so we cannot destroy the Great Wall ourselves. If we use the current force of sweeping thousands of troops and sending troops to forcefully station in European countries, how dare the Germans make any reaction? In more than ten years, the gap between us and Europe and the United States will further increase. At that time, the unification of the Central Plains may not be impossible."

Zhao Gang smiled, stroked his long beard and said, "Haha, military strategy, looking at the five thousand years of history, there are so many heroes, not foreign ones, but the emperors of our country, but in the end it is just a short passage of romantic words. All of these people are heroes. Do you know why they did not unify the world?"

Song Bingce thought for a moment: "The manpower was sometimes poor at that time, and the war was very expensive. With the national strength at that time, it was impossible to achieve such conquest. Now our country's national strength is the best, and it is enough to cope with such war consumption. Why not fight hard to surrender the enemy?"

Zhao Gang nodded, "You have a reasonable point in your opinion. To be honest, the opportunity now is really good. We have an atomic bomb in hand, so we have an extra three-point advantage. Then we have an advantage in the military strength, which has an additional chance of winning. Moreover, our mobilization has not reached the limit, which has another point. In addition, our territory is broad and our territory is protected by the absolute defense circle, which has another more chance of winning. Speaking of which, our chance of winning has already reached six or seven points. If it is a war, such a chance of winning is already very high."

Zhao Gang walked a few steps and looked back at Song Bingce, his eyes full of wisdom: "Those who do not plan for all generations are not enough for a certain life. What we need to consider is not temporary gains and losses, but the blessings of descendants after all generations, so I have to be careful! It has been more than three years since the war started. Although we have always had the upper hand, the consumption of national strength and the contradiction between the people's hearts are already very obvious. Moreover, considering that occupying European countries cannot truly annex these countries,

All we have to do is cut off the military's spending and then shift the focus of the future, rather than relying on the sword again."

"But if we don't cut these troops now, we will have the chance to defeat the enemy and occupy a considerable territory in Europe. As long as we occupy these territory, we will have the chance to assimilate these blue-eyed guys and eventually become one of our ethnic minorities. I think this result is worth trying." Song Bingce was a little excited when he said this, picked up the teacup and poured himself a cup of tea, raised his head and drank it.

"We can't do what we can't do. The spirit of these countries is not cross-border. We can't spend these people in the end." Zhao Gang also poured a cup of tea himself, and then explained to Song Bingce slowly that national thoughts shone brightly in the 20th century. No matter which colonial country has achieved national independence through this idea. Zhao Gang, who knows the power of this idea, is naturally unwilling to throw China's precious power into this quagmire. However, this principle is not easy to explain clearly. Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said to Song Bingce with a smile: "Well, let's not talk about this for now. How about we talk about it?"

Not to mention the good question, but instead he had to talk about a game. Song Bingce was a little surprised. However, seeing that Zhao Gang was very excited, it was not easy to disregard Zhao Gang's nature, so he agreed with a smile. Someone immediately took the chessboard and chess pieces. Zhao Gang was a well-known thing. In military training, Zhao Gang also stubbornly demanded that officers must reach a certain level of Go before they can become officers, so Go is very popular in the army and almost everyone can do it.

Go is closely related to military affairs. In history, many military strategists like Go and have an indissoluble bond with Go. They often use the philosophy of Go to study wars and command wars. Go theorists and some famous chess players often use military tactics and war examples to explain Go and study theories of Go.

The birth of Go was associated with war from the beginning. It was an intellectual game that was successful in adapting to the needs of war and simulated the form of war. During the Western Han Dynasty, some people regarded Go as "Military Art". "Sui Shu-Jing Ji Zhi" included Go records in the category of military books, which was not unreasonable. According to historical records, in the era of Shun and Yu, tribal meetings were held every time a war broke out.

The elders and military leaders of the tribe were both participants in the meeting, discussing the battle against the enemy together, and each person put forward their own opinions. During the discussion, in order to express their opinions more vividly, each person often draws pictures on the spot, uses small stones instead of soldiers, and imagines military deployment. This is probably the beginning of Go. This military deployment map later gradually evolved into part of a military game and became a way to learn military knowledge.

During the Western Han Dynasty, playing Go was a social trend at that time. Swordsmen focused on the flexibility of Go strategy and tactics when talking about Go. In the "New Theory", the philosopher Huan Tan of the Eastern Han Dynasty said bluntly that Go is common, or about military tactics, and it linked Go with military tactics. Decades after the Huan family, the famous classical scholar Ma Rong discussed Go based on military tactics, and used a three-foot-foot-frame battlefield to simulate war.

Xie An during the Eastern Jin Dynasty was also a military strategist who loved Go. In the Battle of Water, he defeated the Qin army with less than 80,000 troops, showing the style of a military strategist who was determined to command.

In the eighth year of Taiyuan (383 AD), the Former Qin firmly led a million troops to go south and prepared to destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop. At this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty's troops were very weak, less than 80,000. The Qin army arrived in Huai, and the whole country of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was shocked. Emperor Xiaowu of Jin promoted Xie An as the commander-in-chief to fight against the powerful enemy. The battle situation ahead was tight, and Xie An's nephew and general Xie Xuan came to ask for a way to retreat the enemy. Xie An was not afraid and said that he had his own way, so he asked Xie Xuan to go to a villa in the mountains with him and his relatives and friends. When he arrived in the mountains, Xie An set up a chessboard to invite his nephew to play. Xie Xuan was originally better at chess, but because of his nervousness, he was defeated by Xie An in a confused manner. At this time, Xie An told Xie Xuan that the way of using troops was like playing chess, he should be hidden deep and not afraid of danger, and to calm down.
