454 Shenyang Military Parade
The Sino-Soviet Battle ended successfully. As a large number of Soviet prisoners of war were successively taken back to the three northeastern provinces, the entire area of the three northeastern provinces was truly under the control of the National Defense Forces. Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, who personally commanded the battle, also returned to the long-lost location of the National Defense Forces General Command, Chenyang, the capital of Liaoning Province...
In the command center with modern characteristics, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili was sitting in his seat with a serious face, flipping through a stack of information about the latest situation in the pass on the table in front of him, sometimes thinking and sometimes frowning.
Under Li Guosheng's gaze, it took ten minutes before Jiang Baili finally put down the telegram in his hand.
After sighing, he, who was born in a scholar, unexpectedly swears: "Oh my god, if you don't help our National Defense Force resist foreign invasions and defend the country, you're still making trouble behind us. These people are really a group of selfish and hopeless warlords..."
After saying that, he asked Li Guosheng in front of him in a deep voice: "Standard, you really plan to use force against these warlords..."
Li Guosheng did not answer, but asked Jiang Baili in front of him with a meaningful look on his face: "Chief of Staff, what do you think about this matter? Do you think our National Defense Forces should deal with this crisis..."
After some thought, although he knew that his next words might cause Li Guosheng to be dissatisfied. However, as the chief of staff, Jiang Baili, still answered decisively: "General Secretary, if you express your opinions as the Chief of Staff of the National Defense Forces, I think this battle should be fought, and these warlords should be hurt at one time. Use blood to let them understand that our defense force is the largest military force in the country that they are unattainable and will never be bullied...-."
Li Guosheng nodded without comment. He continued to ask with a smile: "If I don't expect it, the Chief of Staff must have another idea. Tell me and listen."
"Yes, the chief seat..." Jiang Baili did not hide it. He continued to speak: "If I express my opinion as a Chinese, I do not agree to use force against these warlords. After all, as long as the battle begins, thousands of Chinese people will die on the battlefield. You must know that no matter which aspect these soldiers belong, they are generally part of China's national defense force..."
Hearing this, Li Guosheng subconsciously waved his hand to stop Chief of Staff Jiang Baili from continuing to speak.
For a moment, the huge command center fell into a brief tranquility because Jiang Baili kept silent. Just as Jiang Baili stared at her eyes and was waiting for Li Guosheng to give a response.
A strange smile flashed from Li Guosheng's face. Under Jiang Baili's gaze, he spoke: "Chief of Staff, tell you the truth. When I first received this telegram, I immediately had the idea of using force against these people. After all, our country's defense force has been patient for so long. As long as he is a normal person, he will get angry when facing endless provocations from his opponent one after another."
Seeing the disappointment gradually showing on Jiang Baili's face, Li Guosheng changed his tone and continued to speak: "However, after receiving the Sino-Soviet war results reported to me by various combat troops, I immediately gave up my intention to use force against these people. Because I found in our results that hundreds of thousands of Soviet-made weapons and equipment that were of almost no use to our defense force. If we add the large amount of equipment seized in the war against Japan, the major material warehouses of our defense force have stockpiled almost one million in a large number of weapons and equipment..."
"Although so many weapons and equipment are of no use to our defense force, they have a huge attraction beyond imagination to the major warlords in China, and even the Nanjing National Government. I am confident that as long as we announce this huge chip in our hands, the idea of these warlords wanting to bite a piece of meat from us will immediately become a curse for us, buy equipment from us, and expand their military strength."
"It must be clear that in troubled times, the gun is the real hard truth. No matter how many territories are in your hands and there is not enough gun bars to protect them, these territories will sooner or later become fat in other people's populations. Therefore, for these warlords, the attraction of weapons is definitely greater than that of the oceans and territories..."
Hearing this, the disappointed expression on Jiang Baili's face had long disappeared, and replaced by a strong surprise. He affirmed to Li Guosheng with an excited expression: "You are right. Compared with land and oceans, weapons and ammunition are more attractive to these warlords. I can be sure that as long as we break this news, Chiang Kai-shek, who is in charge of the Nanjing government, will not be able to sit still. You must know that the Central Army commanded by Chiang Kai-shek also lacks weapons. Once local warlords obtain a large number of weapons and expand their military strength, Chiang Kai-shek's dream of truly unifying China will be further and further away from him."
Having said this, a trace of doubt immediately emerged in Jiang Baili's mind. He asked Li Guosheng with a worried look on his face: "Standard, how should we disclose this news to the major warlords around Shandong Province? Should we send a clear telegram directly or send someone to secretly contact these warlords? You must know that the eyes of these warlords have been confused by the large amount of benefits that Chiang Kai-shek promised them. It is very likely that we think that the news we disclosed was to delay time and even paralyze them..."
Li Guosheng smiled and replied: "Chief of Staff, you are right. If I were these warlords, I would have such an idea. Therefore, we cannot disclose the news to these warlords so directly, but should be more indirect..."
"What kind of indirect method..." Jiang Baili followed and asked.
Li Guosheng smiled and asked tentatively to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, how do you think we are holding a military parade in Shenyang City... Since the establishment of our defense force, a military parade has been busy fighting and has never held a military parade showing the military strength of our defense force to the outside world. Now, our defense force has defeated the Soviet Union and Japan in a row, whether for celebration or to inspire people, I think we should all hold a military parade in Shenyang City to the whole world..."
The benefits of the military parade are not without them. First of all, as Li Guosheng just said, show his strong military strength to the outside world, and through the military parade, shock the surrounding sluts, make the surrounding hostile forces frightened. They are afraid of themselves from the bottom of their hearts...
Of course, everything has its pros and cons. The military parade has great benefits and also has certain harm. That is, it completely exposes its own strength to the world and arouses fear. What's more, in the face of the powerful threat of the National Defense Force, the warlord forces scattered around the National Defense Force will form an alliance like the six countries that jointly resisted Qin, and work together to deal with themselves and the national defense force that is thriving.
Jiang Baili could think of these. Li Guosheng could also think of them. Seeing Jiang Baili's face changing facial expressions, Li Guosheng subconsciously reminded: "Chief of the staff, with the existing strength and equipment of our defense force, as long as the reorganization is completed, the total strength of the troops will reach 500,000. Our National Defense Force will no longer be afraid of any enemy or any threat. You must know that we are the Chinese National Defense Forces that have even defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Army..."
Hearing this, the last trace of worry in Jiang Baili's heart became completely gone. He said with a firm support to Li Guosheng: "General, I fully support the National Defense Forces to hold a grand military parade in the near future. The military authority of our Defense Forces will be fully displayed in front of the Chinese people and in front of the world..."
"In order to achieve better results in this military parade, I think this military parade will not only require major domestic newspapers and major warlords to participate, but also invite the ambassadors of various countries to China to fully display the defense force in front of the world..."
Li Guosheng nodded with agreement and added: "In a word, all the people we can invite in the entire Chinese territory must be invited. In addition, we must be cautious when choosing troops to participate in the parade. We must not only show the military power of our defense force, so that everyone can feel the strong strength of our defense force. At the same time, we must also keep some secret forces secret, and do not expose our trump card, nothing left...."
"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I will ask the General Staff to come up with a specific plan..." Chief of Staff Jiang Baili answered anxiously, as if he was about to create this military parade.
Li Guosheng waved his hand and said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, don't worry... For this military parade, we two separately prepare. I will personally determine the selection of participating troops and the content of the entire military parade, and you will assist me. As for the invitation to watch guests, it will be up to you. Let's work together to turn this military parade into a unique military parade in the world, shocking all the guests."
"Yes, the chief executive..." Jiang Baili answered excitedly.
After several consecutive battles, the 19th Division of the National Defense Forces paid a heavy price of about 3,000 people. However, the morale of the entire army did not decline due to these losses. As the Soviet Red Army, known as a great power, was defeated by these Sichuan soldiers many times, the temperament exuded by the entire 19th Division had undergone earth-shaking changes invisibly.
A few months ago, although this army also exuded a strong murderous aura, under the cover of this murderous aura, the division commander Xiong Shaowen did not find much confidence in his subordinates to fight against foreign enemies. Now, these subordinates have no exception to exuding a heartfelt confidence. Because, as a weak team, they even defeated the Soviet army called the Great Powers, and it was a huge victory of winning with less.
At this moment, although the total strength of the 19th Division has been reduced to 9,000 people. However, Xiong Shaowen, as the division commander, can be sure that the combat power of these 9,000 people is definitely more than 12,000 people more than a month ago. More importantly, once the troops are completed, the infantry will reach the standard of the main division of the National Defense Forces. Xiong Shaowen is confident that with his elite 15,000 people under his command, he can defeat any division-level or even first-level army unit in the country.
Therefore, since the battle ended, the smile on the face of the division commander Xiong Shaowen has never disappeared. While commanding the troops for routine training, he waited for superiors to replenish their troops, so that the 19th Division would become the main division of the National Defense Forces as soon as possible.
At this moment, a telegram from Chenyang suddenly disrupted Xiong Shaowen's deployment. However, the content of this telegram made Xiong Shaowen happy from the bottom of his heart.
"After ordering the 19th Division to draw 100 people to participate in the grand military parade to be held in Shenyang for half a month to celebrate the victory of the National Defense Forces in the war between the Soviet Union on the same day..."
To outsiders, the military parade performance is just an exaggerated performance that has been rehearsed long ago. However, for an expert like Xiong Shaowen, the implicit meaning exposed by the military parade performance is definitely beyond one's own imagination.
There were about thirty main divisions in the entire army, and only ten infantry phalanxes were drawn from the ten main divisions to participate in the military parade. The 19th Division, which he commanded, happened to be among them, and could prove to the entire National Defense Forces that the 19th Division's position in the mind of the commander-in-chief. Not only that, participating in the military parade performance, can also fully display the 19th Division, composed of the Sichuan Army under his command, to the Chinese people and the world through intuitive visual experience...
Thinking of this, Xiong Shaowen was excited and said directly to the Chief of Staff beside him with a slightly commanding tone: "Chief of Staff, our 19th Division has come to show his face... The General Command of the National Defense Forces is preparing to hold a military parade around the world in Shenyang. Our 19th Division was very lucky to be named by the General Office and, together with the other nine main divisions, each forming an infantry phalanx. Half a month later, he will participate in the military parade in Shenyang..."
"Immediately notify the leaders of the regiments to come to the command center for a meeting. Our 19th Division must pay attention to this military parade and show the best mental outlook of the 19th Division to the people of the country to win the face of our Sichuan people..."
When he first saw this telegram, Chief of Staff Zhang Guoqiang did not really understand the benefits that the military parade could bring to him. Now after listening to the explanation of Commander Xiong Shaowen, his eyes seemed to suddenly see a pile of gold ingots. He looked at the telegram in his hand with a hot face and replied excitedly: "Teacher, these are true... Our 19th Division can really show his face in front of the people of the country and show his face in front of the whole world... It's great, I really didn't expect that our 19th Division will also become famous at home and abroad. I will immediately convey the order and let the four regiment commanders quickly arrive at the division headquarters..."
The various departments of the National Defense Forces began to make intense preparations for the military parade. Even the Construction Corps, directly under the headquarters, was conducting major renovations at the former Northeast Army garrison outside Shenyang City, in order to ensure that the military parade had enough venues. Invitational telegrams were also transmitted from Shenyang to all parts of the country through radio waves.
Any local forces across the country who can be placed on the table have received invitations from the National Defense Forces without exception. As the secret leader of the plan to siege Shandong, Lao Jiang also received this telegram provoking the authority of the National Government in the Nanjing government.
In the office with a heavy atmosphere, looking at Lao Jiang, who was ashen in front of him with a pair of eyes staring at the telegram in his hand. All senior generals of the State government, including Dai Li, Chen Cheng, and even He Yingqin, stood in front of Lao Jiang, lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing that the other warlords were all arrogant and arrogant in front of him, but when they mentioned the National Defense Forces, they all lowered their heads in dismay and said nothing. After Jiang Jiang was in a state of depression, he became even more angry. After slamming his fist with a telegram, he roared at the desk in front of him with dissatisfaction.
"My mom, are you all deaf... Don't you usually claim to be the elites of the national government? Why can't you even solve this problem? The national government gives you such good treatment every year, have you all fed pigs?"
The one who stood in front of Lao Chiang was either a general in the army or the head of the government department, who had always lived a high position and had never been scolded by someone, and had been so angry. Although Lao Chiang was standing in front of him, everyone dared not show the dissatisfaction in their hearts. However, these people had slowly aroused dissatisfaction with Lao Chiang in front of them from the bottom of their hearts.
As time passed by minute by minute, Dai Li, the Intelligence Department, who could be called Chiang Kai-shek's loyalty, had to stand up and break the increasingly solemn atmosphere in the office.
"Report to the principal, the student has something to say..."
At the warning of Chiang Kai-shek, Dai Li quickly pulled out a few pieces of intelligence from the folder and analyzed: "The National Defense Forces commanded by Li Guosheng suddenly held a military parade at this time, and the Intelligence Department also had relevant information. However, in the eyes of the students, this is not the most important. According to the intelligence, a large number of Soviet prisoners of war suddenly appeared in the three northeastern provinces controlled by the National Defense Force. If all the Soviet prisoners of war appeared in various places were added together, the total number of these prisoners of war should be more than 300,000."
"This is one, the second: a few days ago, the National Defense Forces suddenly issued a conscript order to the entire three northeastern provinces, requiring all cars in the three northeastern provinces to quickly assemble to Qiqihar and Mudanjiang."
"This order was less than three days later. Yesterday morning, our intelligence officers scattered in Heilongjiang suddenly sent a message: a large number of transport vehicles controlled by the National Defense Forces are continuously transporting a large number of Soviet-made weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union back to the three northeastern provinces... Although I don't know the specific number of these weapons and equipment, the intelligence officers still sent back four words, that is, 'large number'..."
The expression on Lao Jiang's face became even more serious. He asked in a deep voice to Dai Li in front of him: "Yunnong, after saying so much, what result do you want to express to us..."
