Joseph knew in his heart that the Eastern comrades were no longer what they used to be. The students who had stayed in Black Bear before had lost their right to speak. Now it was Davari Mao who had the final say. His national consciousness was stronger than his ideology. It was impossible. If you want to give him orders like before, you have to exchange them for benefits.
The Battle of Tsaritsyn was simply a huge black hole devouring troops and supplies. On average, an army was consumed every day. Even a black bear with rough skin and thick flesh could not hold it back. But at this time, the damn chicken came to act as a stir-up stick. , without the military and material support from the Far East, it would be difficult for the Black Bear to defeat Tsaritsyn and defend Tsaritsyn.
"Shit! That Chu Xiong is not a Bolshevik at all, he is simply a robber taking advantage of the situation!
There is not an inch of black bear land that is redundant, not even the one promised by Comrade Vladimir! "
Molotov could only pretend that he didn't hear it. According to his understanding of Joseph, the more fierce he scolded, the closer he was to compromise.
Politics has always been the product of compromise, and so is diplomacy. What determines whether to compromise is strength, not voice!
Black Bear is now under attack from two evil empires, and has reached a moment of life and death. Compared with life and death, the bit of land cut from China is not worth mentioning. He just can't lose face and is unwilling to give in.
N minutes later, Joseph finally got tired of scolding and began to speak normally:
"Comrade Molotov, it is not impossible to fulfill Comrade Vladimir's promise, but the Chinese people must take action, as long as they launch an attack on the grasslands and Manchuria now, and assist the black bears in regaining the Far East, and put the damn chickens on their feet Rush to the sea and I will consider fulfilling Vladimir’s promise.”
Molotov wanted to say that you just have a mouth, but he didn't dare. If he dared to say it, a Cheka would come over and invite him to tea. This can only be said by Chinese people. .
What if the Chinese believed Joseph's promise?
Ten days later, when the light came on, Chu Xiong said disdainfully:
"Joseph's verbal promise is nothing! A formal letter of credence must be signed in black and white. Although it is also a piece of paper, it is recognized internationally;
If we go to take it back by force, Yingjiang will definitely give us whatever we ask for, and we will not even rule out sending troops to support our legitimate interests. "
Huang An reminded very tactfully:
"Old Chu, is it too vulgar to reply to Yanzhou like this? Do you want to change it?"
Chu Xiong shook his hand and said:
"No, if you're not talking rudely, just reply to Yanzhou. Joseph's verbal promise is not even worth a scrap of paper. You can send troops to Manchuria and sign a letter of credence written in black and white."
Otherwise, the Eighth Route Army must first deal with the Japanese in North China, and then go south to recover the Central Plains, Central China, East China, South China, Southwest, and Northwest China, first inside the Pass and then outside the Pass. The core interests of China lie within the Pass.
China's legitimate interests must be guaranteed. This is China's bottom line! "
Zhong Guoliang interjected from the side:
"Old Chu, I heard from comrades who studied abroad in Black Bear that Joseph is a famous tough guy. Hans Cat's millions of troops never let him bow down. Can China let him bow down?"
Chu Xiong said meaningfully:
"Yes, his tough guy's confidence comes from the strength of Black Bear. Once he loses the battle to defend Joseph, let alone fulfill Vladimir's promise, it is not impossible to give up the entire Far East to China. Their core interests lie in Europa;
Of course, China will not take advantage of others' danger. We will only take back what is our own. We will not take an inch more of what is not ours. China does not engage in aggression or strive for hegemony. "
Chu Xiong's words were upright and awe-inspiring, which made Zhong Guoliang admire him. But he knew Chu Xiong too well. The more upright and awe-inspiring he said, the more cautious you should treat him.
Huang An took the order and left, and he would handle all matters concerning the political work of the expeditionary force with Yanzhou.
After Huang An left, Chu Xiong turned to Zhong Guoliang and said:
"Old Zhong, the domestic Eighth Route Army has just experienced the Hedong War and is in urgent need of rest and recuperation. The construction of the Hedong Industrial Base is not a matter of one or two days. Black Bear will wait for them for a while first.
One army's casualties a day, I want to see how long Joseph can hold out. Once the little devils gain a foothold in the Far East, it will be difficult to drive them away!
He will recognize the situation clearly. The current task of the expeditionary force is to counterattack Johor. General Stevie has urged him several times, and the expeditionary force is almost rested.
From the Emerald Kingdom to Johor, the terrain was too narrow and was not conducive to deploying troops, so I decided to go through Siam.
Siam has signed a military alliance treaty with the Japanese, who are the enemy. We must help the Siamese people drive away the Japanese and the traitorous government of Luang Phibun, and welcome back their beloved king.
Go get General Stevie! "
Zhong Guoliang took the order and left. Some political methods had to be used to deal with Siam, which required Stevie and the Goshawk Kingdom to play a bad role.
Stevie had been waiting for Chu Xiong's call. He called Stevie, and he arrived. He drove the big jeep over at lightning speed, and he drove the off-road jeep like an airplane.
Before Stevie's people arrived, the voice arrived first and shouted excitedly:
"Hi, Chu, I heard that you have finally made up your mind to continue the counterattack against the Japanese?"
Chu Xiong pretended to be unhappy and said:
"Old Shi, we have been counterattacking the Japanese. We have just regained the territory of Hedong Province in China and wiped out 100,000 enemies. This is a brilliant victory!"
Steve knew that he was no match for Chu Xiong in talking nonsense. He was in a good mood today and would not compete with Chu Xiong for his words. As long as Chu Xiong kept winning, everything was right for him.
A general who has been winning battles is never wrong. If you have any doubts, please refer to the first one. This is the law of Eagle Sauce.
"Chu, you are right. The Eighth Route Army's great victory in Hedong deserves a toast. When you treat us later, drink Chinese brandy!
Now it's the southern battlefield's turn. Talk about your plan. Materials are out of the scope of the discussion, because they are nothing! "
Old Man Shi's humor made Chu Xiong feel very comfortable after hearing it. He liked the old man's character of throwing materials at him if he didn't accept it.
(Chu Xiong: I don’t accept it!)
As long as the old man's supplies are not a problem, then Chu Xiong's counterattack is not a problem either. He immediately briefly explained his battle plan to Old Man Shi. Hearing this, the old man beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly. Chu Xiong did not disappoint him. He was very Said in agreement:
"Chu, your counterattack strategy is right. If you want to counterattack Johor, Siam must first capture it. We, Yingjiang, will send an ultimatum to Siam, limiting them to severing ties with the Foot Pot Chicken within a week. Allow the Chinese Expeditionary Force to pass through Siam;
Otherwise, declare the Luang Phibun government an evil government, send troops to exterminate the little devils in Siam, help the Siamese people welcome back their king, and let the Siamese people return to the embrace of a civilized country. "
Chu Xiong shrugged and said:
"The Luang Phibun government came to power through a coup, and now it is involved with the evil alliance. They can no longer represent the Siamese people. Siam belongs to the Siamese people!"
Shi Diwei strongly agreed with Chu Xiong's words. A small country still wants to have both sides, while big countries are bleeding blood for the civilized world. Why do you live so comfortably?
Hedging their bets, they get the benefit if Chicken Little wins, and they won't be liquidated if the Justice League wins.
"Chu, I will settle the matter in Siam. The expeditionary force only needs to be ready to send troops."
