Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 771 The extremely excited Japanese

In the battle in the Hujirt Mountains of Outer Mongolia, the Soviet Far East Special Forces were completely annihilated. This shocked the top leaders of the Soviet Union greatly. Stalin held a Politburo meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures to deal with this emergency. The atmosphere of the meeting seemed a bit depressing, and politics

The bureau members were silent.

Stalin did not set the tone, and the meeting could not get to the point. Countless questions and judgments were swirling in Stalin's mind. This newly emerged military and political strongman in China would give the Soviet Union a decisive blow as soon as he made a move. Tang Qiuli used this method

This gesture forced his way into Stalin's heart. Regardless of whether he accepted it or not, this young general who was currently the most powerful in China brought endless troubles to Stalin.

Based on the psychological analysis of politicians, there must be some powerful force secretly supporting Tang Qiuli. Otherwise, Tang Qiuli would not dare to take action against the Soviet Union's sphere of influence. The United States and Britain were the largest.

Perhaps, the Japanese were simply excluded by Stalin, and Britain and the United States had some plans in the Far East to launch China's newly emerged warlord Tang Qiuli to challenge the Soviet Union. Outer Mongolia was just the beginning.

Stalin considered everything except that Outer Mongolia has been China's territory since ancient times. If the Soviets had not intervened behind the scenes and would not hesitate to split the territory of a sovereign country for their own interests, there would have been no uprising by Qiubashan and others.

, and has caused de facto **.

The Russians have had a pathological greed for territory since the Tsarist era. During the Tsarist era, Russia's national emblem was a double-headed eagle with its feet on the earth, looking at Europe on the one hand and Asia on the other.

Russia won the victory and the national emblem was replaced by a hammer and sickle, but the double-headed eagle was deeply hidden in Stalin's heart. The unreasonable demands for Finnish territory and the coveting of Chinese territory in Asia all stemmed from an inherent mentality.

To be honest, Stalin didn't have much interest in Outer Mongolia, which was either grassland or Gobi, with vast territory, sparsely populated areas, and few resources. It was just because it was aimed at the favorable strategic position of China, a big country in the south. It was as simple as that. If the Soviet Union devoted all its national power, Tang

Qiu Li is definitely not

Opponents, but the focus of the Soviet Union's defense is in Europe. Hitler coveted the territory of the Soviet Union as much as he desired the territories of other countries. There is also the Japanese on the northeastern border. They are an arrogant and ignorant wolf.

, has long coveted the Soviet Far East.

In the final analysis, Outer Mongolia cannot be lost, and the Soviet Union cannot devote all its national power to deal with Tang Qiuli. Stalin already had a basic idea. He raised his head and asked Yegorov, Chief of General Staff of the Soviet Army: "Comrade Yegorov, General Administration of Military Intelligence.

, How much information do you have about this Chinese general Tang Qiuli?" Yegorov shook his head and replied dryly: "Comrade Stalin, there is very little, almost blank, Tang Qiuli has just entered our sight."

Stalin shook his head and seemed to be saying to himself: "The director of the General Service of Military Intelligence is very incompetent." In a word, the director of the General Service of Intelligence was resigned from his post. He was very lucky not to be exiled to the Arctic Circle.

, the leader spoke, the members of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union spoke in a unified voice and shouted for fight. The dignity of the Soviet Union did not allow for challenge, and the interests of the Red Soviet must be defended.

The meeting did not waste much time and reached a resolution to immediately organize troops to carry out a large-scale and violent counterattack against the Chinese troops who invaded Outer Mongolia. This gave the Chinese people who did not know their own capabilities a painful lesson and hindered their efforts to regain outer Mongolia.

Mongolia's ambitions and troop mobilization are mainly focused on the Far East Military Region, which can strengthen the strength of the air force and tank forces.

The tone for dispatching troops was set, and the candidate to command this force aroused debate among the members of the Politburo. Stalin did not say anything, but asked Defense Minister Malenkov: "Comrade Malenkov, based on your understanding of the Far East Military Region, what is the leadership position in the military region?"

Is there anyone in the team who is qualified for this position?" Malenkov pondered for a moment and replied: "Comrade Stalin and Comrade Zhukov, who is currently the deputy chief of staff of the military region, are very suitable to serve as the commander of this unit."

Stalin obviously had great trust in Malenkov. He nodded and said: "Well, on the basis of the Far East Special Army, we will expand this unit into the First Far East Army and propose Comrade Zhukov to serve as the commander of the group army, specifically responsible for Outer Mongolia."

No one objects to the battle, right?"

The boss has spoken. To object is to seek death. By a show of hands, Stalin's proposal was unanimously approved. It is a historical opportunity. Zhukov, this historic figure who has won the title of Hero of the Soviet Union three times, contributed to the victory of the Patriotic War and the Soviet-German War for the Soviet Union.

, finally came to the forefront and began his glorious and legendary military career. However, there were only three people in the entire Soviet Union who were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

Assuming that the Battle of Outer Mongolia had not been launched by Tang Qiuli, it is not yet known whether Zhukov would still be buried in the Far East Military Region and be a competent staff officer. However, Zhukov's subsequent performance in the Battle of Outer Mongolia was enough to be called Tang Qiuli's.

one of his opponents, although he ultimately did not

In order to save Outer Mongolia, this piece of Chinese land that Stalin insisted on clinging to, he still gained Stalin's high trust because of his outstanding military talents. He was promoted repeatedly and reached the position of Chief of General Staff of the Soviet Red Army, and entered the Soviet Union.

Within the circle of core leadership.

"That shameful deserter Mikovsky should be tried by a military court. Such a scum is not allowed to exist in the Red Soviet Army. He is a disgrace to the Red Army," Stalin still said to Defense Minister Malenkov.

Nodding, he already knew how to deal with the former commander of the Far East Special Forces, which was to publicly shoot him. The supreme commander said that even if Mikovsky was the biological son of Jesus, there was no way he could survive.

Still speaking of Stalin, Mikovsky, who climbed to a high position by relying on informants and faithfully implementing the policy of suppressing counter-revolutionaries, with his hands stained with the blood of his comrades, has been doomed. Perhaps he would never have thought that he would end up like this.

From the moment he abandoned the army and fled for his life, it was already destined that no army, no matter red or other colors, would tolerate deserters. He was a vested interest in this system, a victim, and an abandoned one.

Late at night, Japan, Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito's Palace, facing the civil and military ministers summoned late at night, Emperor Hirohito, whose face was so gloomy that he could drip water for many days in a row, for the first time in history, had a happy face. Ever since he received a call from the Army Intelligence Bureau

After listening to the monitoring report, Emperor Hirohito has been in an extremely excited state. The depression and anguish of the past few days have been wiped away. Even the little girl, who has been resting for many days, has a desire that is ready to move.

If the imperial meeting was not about to be held, he would be eager to visit several charming concubines. Hirohito was in a good mood and personally greeted the ministers who came to attend the meeting at the entrance of the hall. This made the ministers who had been feeling uneasy

, it was like seeing the long-lost sunshine, feeling so relaxed that I felt like I was floating.

Emperor Hirohito not only had a happy face, he also made an exception and prepared authentic Japanese snacks and mellow sake for the ministers present. Hirohito picked up the wine glass, his face glowing with excitement, as if he had received a hundred injections of chicken blood, "Today is

The most comfortable and relaxing day in my heart, Lu

The information sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau is the best panacea for me. You all know, right? The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli broke out in fierce battles with the Soviets in Outer Mongolia. Moreover, the Soviets

I suffered a big loss. God bless me. Cheers to the Japanese Empire."

The ministers present here, except for the Chief of General Staff of the base camp, Prince Kanin Miyazaishihito, the Minister of War, Koichi Yonai, and the Minister of War, this is the first time for other ministers to hear this shocking news. In surprise, they stood hurriedly

He stood up and drank the sake in his hand. No matter what, this news was great news to the Japanese. Any dissatisfaction caused by hiding such important news from the Army had long since disappeared.

Went to the sky beyond the sky.

Regarding this China devil who caused the Japanese army and navy to suffer so much and hated them to the core but had no choice but to do anything about it, the Japanese military circles were somewhat frightened when they mentioned it. Many senior generals in the army regarded being sent to northern China to fight against Tang Qiuli.

For fear of the future and to learn from the past, so many high-ranking generals were killed. Now, Tang Qiuli did not know the depth and provoked the Soviets, which was his own destruction.

For the Japanese, Tang Qiuli's military operations in Outer Mongolia, regardless of success or failure, were absolutely beneficial to the Japanese Empire. If they failed, the Soviets would vent their anger on the Japanese, and Tang Qiuli's military strength would also be at risk.

will suffer heavy losses,

As a result, it is not necessarily known that the Kwantung Army will face a weak opponent. Manchuria, Liaoxi and even North China will return to the hands of the empire. After solving this biggest opponent, China will not be left to us.

Ask for it?

If Tang Qiuli were defeated, he would definitely become enemies with the Soviets, and they would have inextricable hatred. He added a powerful enemy out of thin air, and also reduced the Japanese army's fear of the Soviets. The Soviets suffered a defeat in the Far East.

, gave the Japanese renewed their ambition to covet the Soviet Far East territory. Since the inferior Chinese people can defeat the Soviets, then the excellent Yamato nation can also defeat the Soviets. This is the simplest conversion question in the Japanese mind.

Therefore, the Japanese hope that Tang Qiuli will fight the Soviets as fiercely as possible in Outer Mongolia. It is best if he is trapped in Outer Mongolia and unable to get out, and is forced to constantly draw troops from North China to the north. It is best if he annoys Stalin and brings him to power.

All energy is used to deal with him. This is an opportunity, a rare opportunity for the Empire of Japan. Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese military and political circles will not let go of this historical opportunity.

Drinking mellow sake and eating dishes carefully cooked by the palace chef, Emperor Hirohito and senior Japanese military and political officials have never discussed major military matters in such a relaxed atmosphere since the all-out war against China.

The beautiful palace maid, the aroma of wine and the fragrance of woman's powder, really makes you fall into boundless enjoyment.
