Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

"Yes."

"First of all, the reason why I came here is that the National Defense Committee entrusted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask you some technical questions. I think you can guess that it is the articles you published in the magazine... We want to know More information."

Tang Hua nodded. "Of course. How about we, the two of you take a rest today, and we will have an interview tomorrow morning?"

Lugakov grunted, and the interpreter said to Tang Hua, "We just need to pack our luggage and inform the International Liaison Office. We can meet for the first time at 7 o'clock in the evening."

"This is a little troublesome," Tang Hua said, "I have other things to discuss tonight, with the chairman and the commander-in-chief. Don't worry too much. The Soviet Union has such a good relationship with us. There is nothing to worry about...I have been Yan'an will not leave either."

After listening to the interpreter, he left Tang Hua aside and had a conversation with Lugakov by himself.Then, the interpreter said to the guards who came together: "Comrade Huang, since this is the case, the military attache wants to meet the chairman and commander-in-chief, can you take us to the external relations office to arrange?"

Then the interpreter said to Tang Hua: "Let's go to negotiate first. We will find the International Liaison Office and try to get Comrade Lugakov to get permission to meet with the chairman, so that we can sit together and discuss all the secrets."

Tang Hua: ...

8pm.Chairman, Vice Chairman Liu, two guards, Lugakov, and an interpreter appeared outside Tang Hua's cave.Because of frequent night talks and it was already summer, the small courtyard in front of Tanghua’s cave had long left the utensils needed to set up the Longmen Array: Eight Immortals tables, chairs, kettles, wires and lights that can be pulled out of the windows, and even a reclining chair.

"Hello Chairman, Hello Vice Chairman Liu, and Comrade Lugakov."

"Come on, let's sit down first. Here are some after-dinner snacks," Vice Chairman Liu conjured up two strings of zongzi from behind. "The ones on the left are sweet, and the ones on the right are salty."

Only then did Tang Hua remember that today is the Dragon Boat Festival in 1946.

"Comrade Lugakov only arrived in Yan'an in the afternoon, and he was anxious to see Xiao Tang today," said the chairman. "Comrades from the Soviet Union also came to listen to Tang Hua's lectures, which is a bit rare."

Tang Hua pursed his lips and smiled. "My magazine published some articles about the latest American military technology and weaponry. This information may not have been grasped or confirmed by the Soviet Union. This is actually quite normal in intelligence work. Sometimes it is a coincidence or the location is right. Obtain the most important information. Of course, it is also our duty to help Soviet comrades, so I will tell you everything tonight. Comrade Lugakov, why don't we start with XP-86?"

When the translator sent a message, Lugakov immediately replied: "The comrades of the 115 Design Bureau said that your information is very useful. We already know the existence of the XP-86 project, but we have not understood its technical details and parameters. Are you from Where did you get this information?"

Tang Hua: "I also obtained information about the existence of the XP-86 project very early. It was when I was studying in the United States. It is really not difficult to do this. As for the most critical information - the schematic diagram of XP-86, I accidentally got it through a classmate’s house.”

"Oh? Your classmate's parents are officers in the U.S. Army Air Corps?"

"No," Tang Hua said, "my classmate's father is a senior editor of a comic company, what's his name? National United Publishing Company, oh no, it has just changed its name to DetectiveComics Comic Company. The comics published by this company Magazine, in addition to drawing superman, Batman and other grotesque things that have been serialized for several years, there are also some one-line short stories, many of which are science fiction comics with a military background. So my classmate’s father often finds the military industry group in private I asked them for some concept drawings of the weapons they were developing. After getting these drawings, I handed them over to the DC Comics illustrator—of course not copying them, but absorbing the characteristic elements of these weapons, modifying the details, and designing A sci-fi weapon in comics. That’s how I asked my classmate to show me the XP-86 concept map obtained by his father, from which I learned the details of this fighter.”

"(%^&%*&)&..." After listening to the translation, Lugakov said something with a sigh. "It turned out to be such a secret from the most unexpected place." The translator said.

Tang Hua smiled and said: "I know that your intelligence system is also very large and complete, but there are always some omissions. Maybe your intelligence collection focuses on some military institutions and scientific institutions, while ignoring some small ones. Channel. And I happened to be in the right place, so I got this information.”

"And what about the Manhattan Project and the atomic bomb?" Lugakov continued.

"Information about this project... I really didn't use my network," Tang Hua said. "I almost got all the information about it through newspapers, radio, and the school library. Of course, I also had the knowledge I had previously. Hiroshima The destructive capability of the atomic bomb was announced by the United States in September 1945. The Manhattan Project... I did get a general idea of ​​the situation. In October 9, I remember that Truman once again said in an interview with reporters that he was The Vice President didn’t even know about the Manhattan Project. He was shocked when he found out about the atomic bomb after Roosevelt died. ——This is his nonsense. Although the Manhattan Project is highly secret, it is not without any other projects Not only Truman, but also high-level U.S. military officials know the existence of this plan, but they don’t know the specific performance and development schedule of the atomic bomb. What’s more exaggerated is that there is a company in Seattle that developed it for the subsystems involved in the Manhattan Project. The department provides technical services, and this company is aware of the existence of the Manhattan Project. Not only that, at the end of July 45, when the first atomic bomb was successfully tested, this company even bought a half-page advertisement in the newspaper. First of all, congratulations The Manhattan Project gets a "big win" and then brags about the company's technological prowess..."

Lugakov asked, Tang Hua answered, the first two issues were written by Tang Hua himself, of course he knew it well, and the answers to all the questions were fluent and flawless.

"Comrade Lugakov," Vice Chairman Liu interjected, "Xiao Tang is not only very knowledgeable about American military and technical intelligence, he also understands the domestic war situation, especially the KMT's strategic deployment, and now Xiao Tang is also Do things for us."

"Yes, I understand. Tang Hua has gained your high trust, which is something to be happy about. But..." the interpreter said, "Lugakov said that he would also include some key points in Tang Hua's handouts. We will send a telegram back to China, and we will discuss this matter when the telegram from Moscow arrives."

Chapter 28, I found you, Davarish ([-])

"Comrade Lugakov, have you sent my lecture notes back to Moscow by telegram?" Tang Hua asked after hearing what Lugakov said just now.

Lugakov nodded. "Maybe the telegram has already started. When I left, the International Liaison Office had sorted out the main content and sent it while translating. But to be honest, it is very troublesome to send mathematical formulas by telegram. One formula takes a lot of time." Only one paragraph can describe it clearly.”

Tang Hua: ...

The full name of the International Liaison Office is the Liaison Office of the Third International in Yan'an. After the disbandment of the Third International in 1943, the public name of the International Liaison Office has become the Yan’an reporter station of Russian news agencies, but Lugakov and Yan’an are still accustomed to calling it the International Liaison Office instead of the Yan’an reporter station.In fact, the personnel and purpose of this institution have not changed much.The International Liaison Office has enough translators and high-power radio stations to communicate directly with the Soviet Union.

"Comrade Lugakov, it is a coincidence that you came to Yan'an," Vice Chairman Liu said, "Since the situation in Northeast China has changed a lot, we need to discuss with the Soviet side again on the future development of Northeast China."

After listening to the translation, Lugakov did not speak. He picked up the rice dumpling and took a bite, slowly chewing the hard vegetable leaves on the outside of the rice dumpling.Before coming to see Tang Hua, Lugakov had already talked with the chairman, commander-in-chief and others in the Military Commission.When he came here, Vice Chairman Liu still didn't let him go... It's really a headache.

"In the past six months, the United States' support for Chiang Kai-shek and the national army has exceeded our expectations, and it should have exceeded your previous expectations. Currently, the national army has entered the Northeast with more than 40 troops, all of which are fully equipped and organized. There are also quite a number of all-American armed forces. Our army has only grown to 30 in the Northeast, and most of the troops are newly formed, with insufficient training and unmatched equipment and ammunition." Vice Chairman Liu continued, "Some time ago in Siping Fighting, our army finally chose to retreat from Siping. Given the disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, we may have to abandon Changchun in the end, and use the Songhua River as the dividing line between us and the national army. We need more support from the Soviet side."

"Comrade Vice-Chairman Liu, the Soviet Union has previously set its diplomatic principles towards China, which cannot be easily changed..."

"But the United States has actually changed its position on China and violated the norms that the United States itself said, hasn't it? It provides the national army with transport ships and military aircraft, directly provides weapons and ammunition to the national army, and connives at the national army's destruction in Northeast China and central China. Armistice agreement..."

"The Soviet Union cannot use armed forces to intervene in China's internal conflicts. This rule must not be violated, including directly sending troops and sending military advisers." Lugakov said.

"Comrade Lugakov, the current situation is that the United States has taken the initiative to attack, not only in China, but also in Greece, Yugoslavia, Eastern Europe... The United States has begun to press the Soviet Union strategically," Tang Hua interjected, "Since Churchill ironically I think the Soviet Union is also aware of this. If it does not properly show a certain tough stance, the Soviet Union’s international political and geospatial oppression is likely to intensify.”

For a period of time after the end of World War II, the Soviet Union was actually very "doggy" in terms of diplomatic attitudes. There were many reasons: the Soviet Union suffered a huge population loss during World War II, and suffered a food harvest in 1946. The United States exclusively owned the atomic bomb, and the United States and its allies The total conventional military strength of China also exceeds that of the Soviet Army and so on.So Stalin chose Gou, and it was not until 1949 that it gradually became more active.

After the translator had finished translating Tang Hua's words, Vice Chairman Liu took over the words again: "The security of the Soviet Union itself is closely related to the success or failure of the surrounding communist regimes and communist movements. If the above-mentioned areas, the communist movement cannot If it succeeds, or if the established regime is overthrown by the reactionaries, the Soviet Union will be isolated internationally. At that time, the Soviet Union itself will have to maintain an extremely large standing army, which will in turn put a heavy burden on the construction and recovery of the Soviet Union. burden……"

The four discussed at the table for a long time, and Lugakov agreed to record the content of today's discussion, attach the opinion signed by the ZG boss, and send it back to Moscow for discussion by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Soviet Communist Party.In addition, Lugakov also talked with the three about many specific matters.

"As far as I know, the Soviet Union has confirmed that it will support the replacement of the Korean People's Army. Then, please contact North Korea and immediately bring over the replaced Japanese weapons and ammunition. Anyway, North Korea doesn't need it, let alone you." Tang Hua explain.

"Davarish, how do you know... Yes, there is a plan to provide equipment to North Korea for re-equipment, but the first Su-armor North Korean division will not appear until 1947."

"Obviously, the U.S. military will not fight against North Korea, and the national army will not be able to fight against North Korea. The South Korean army has no combat power now. Even if North Korea runs naked, nothing will happen within two years," Tang Hua said. It doesn't matter, first unload the gun and give it to us, we are in a hurry to use it."

Lugakov: "..."

Tang Hua: "Or let the North Korean comrades keep the weapons in their hands first to scare people, and the bullets and shells are packed and shipped first, that's fine."

Lugakov: "..."

"Weapons, ammunition, equipment, industrial equipment, and infrastructure, I hope that the Soviet Union will give us the opportunity and channels to obtain them," Vice Chairman Liu said, "From September 1945 to the end of 9, when many of your troops were withdrawing , Regardless, just pat your ass and leave. Nearly half of the weapons, ammunition, and machine tools in the Shenyang area were first snatched by the later national army....Although the national army's receivers snatched the machines and machine tools, they turned around and sold them at a low price , fell into our hands again, but it still caused a relatively large loss. Considering the diplomatic stance of the Soviet Union, you don’t need free assistance, and trade exchanges can be carried out, but it must be done quickly. Once North Korea’s Japanese equipment can be traded , should be traded to us as soon as possible to support our fight against the national army."

Lugakov approved of this compromise plan and said that he could send a telegram to Moscow to suggest this matter.

That night, many things were discussed and achieved results. It was estimated that several telegrams would be sent, so Lugakov left and hurried back to the International Liaison Office.

"Xiao Tang, I have another matter for you today," said the chairman. "A lot of telegrams have come from the Northeast recently, reporting the situation of the factory equipment in the area currently under control. This requires a comprehensive plan. After the war situation stabilizes, our How to build cities, how to do military industry? This is your specialty."

"Minister Zhou of the Security Department approached you the day before yesterday, right?" Vice Chairman Liu said.

"Yes, I did, and asked me a few words."

"That means finishing the organizational procedures. We have already made an excerpt of the telegram about the current situation of the factory equipment and equipment among the calls from the Northeast. I brought it here by the way today. Take a look at the situation they reported, and then draft a telegram about the construction layout. Make a suggestion on how to adjust. We are going back to the staff headquarters, and the commander-in-chief and Commander Ye are waiting."

Chapter 29, the Military Commission teaches you how to find junk

Lin, Luo, Liu:

Called on the 3rd to find out.

(2) The current enemy is forced to cease fire, which has created favorable conditions for our strategic adjustment and transfer. Please implement it according to the spirit indicated in the telegrams on the 3nd and [-]rd.At present, the Northeast War situation is becoming stable, and we should move to the stage of base area construction and urban management as soon as possible, so as to lay the foundation for our rapid growth in the future.

([-]) Our key construction cities in North Manchuria should be Harbin, Suihua, Qiqihar and other Jiangbei cities, and our industrial enterprises in South Manchuria should be concentrated in the Luda area, and it is best to set up across the border of the Soviet-controlled area.For the specific urban management and industrial development plan, Gao and Chen of the Northeast Bureau should organize an industrial construction team for coordination.

(500) The choice of the school site for the aviation school. The decision to move the aviation school from Tonghua to the north is correct, but Mudanjiang seems to be too close to Changchun. If I abandon Changchun in the future, Mudanjiang is in danger of being attacked by enemy fighter jets and short-range bombers .The aviation school is the seed of the Air Force, and the enemy also knows it. Therefore, when the enemy and us face each other across the Songhua River in the future, the possibility of the enemy air attacking our aviation school is even greater than directly attacking Harbin.It is suggested that the new school site of the aviation school should be more than [-] kilometers away from Changchun in a straight line, and move from Mudanjiang to the northeast, preferably near Mishan.

([-]) According to the Japanese archives and records obtained by the Military Commission, it is feasible for anhydrous alcohol to replace gasoline for advanced trainer aircraft, and the officers and soldiers of the aviation school are requested to consider it.
