Chapter 204 Far East Crisis 3
Chapter 204 Far East Crisis 3
"My dear colleagues! After discussing with everyone in the 78th Army, Deputy Commander Wang feels that you are all part of China's national defense force. We should unite as one and fight against foreign enemies together, rather than fighting among ourselves and wasting our strength."
"Therefore, the first thing our army must do now is to stop the civil war and unite against foreign enemies."
"In addition, our biggest threat now still comes from Japan. We must make them withdraw from China as soon as possible! Only in this way can we completely solve the problem."
"Therefore, Deputy Commander Wang decided to provide everyone with a batch of equipment to help everyone improve their combat effectiveness and achieve this goal as soon as possible."
"Specifically, the Fifth Theater will receive equipment from five infantry divisions, as well as tanks and armored vehicles from an armored brigade. These equipment will greatly enhance your combat effectiveness and enable you to better respond to enemy attacks."
Before Chief of Staff Shen finished speaking, the people below looked at each other in confusion, and then, with a "boom", they all started talking.
Of course they were aware of the standard equipment of the 78th Army Infantry Division. If they could really get this batch of equipment, it would be a godsend!
Even if it does not reach the standard configuration of the 78th Army Infantry Division, as long as it has half or even one-third of it, it will be a huge improvement for them.
After all, even a weakened version is not comparable to the weapons and equipment they currently have.
Thinking of this, everyone became excited, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
While everyone was still discussing, Wang Chun on the stage suddenly spoke about a major event, which was not very favorable to China.
"Everyone! The Russians have now won the Battle of Kursk in the European theater. This is an important battle in World War II. The initiative in the European battlefield has been firmly in their hands!"
"This battle was really brutal. Both sides invested a lot of manpower and equipment, but in the end the Russians won."
"According to reliable information! After the Battle of Kursk, the Russians are ready to dispatch two armored guards to the Far East! This is not a small number, two elite troops, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated."
"It seems that the Russians have also realized the importance of the Far East and want to strengthen their power here, and they are determined to destroy us!"
"Their purpose is self-evident. Our actions in the grassland some time ago made them feel threatened! After all, our strength is growing stronger and stronger, and we are also a potential competitor to them."
"So they want to consolidate their position by increasing their troops, and at the same time they can deter us."
"Now! We have once again won the decisive battle in North China. This is a beautiful victory! Then we will definitely attack the Japanese troops in the Northeast! This is our next strategic goal. We must drive the Japanese devils out of Chinese soil and recover the lost territory."
"But if we do this, we will be bordering the Russian sphere of influence, which may lead to some conflicts and contradictions."
"The Russians have been eyeing our north since the Tsarist Russia. They have been trying to expand their territory. This is their consistent style."
"So, we must respond carefully and not take it lightly. We must strengthen our military strength, defend the borders of our motherland, and prevent anyone from infringing on our territorial sovereignty."
After hearing this, the people in the audience who had stopped talking started whispering to each other again.
"No way! Aren't the Russians allies with us now? They shouldn't be like this!"
An officer whispered his opinion in a group of people. He felt that the Russians would not disregard morality and stab their allies in the back.
"You actually think the Russians have any moral principles! We Chinese always suffer because we are too moral!"
"Look at those people in the West, they are all trying to take advantage of your weakness! How did the Qing Dynasty fall? How did China become weaker and weaker, and how did even the dog Japan dare to come and bite us!"
Another officer retorted excitedly: "The Russians took advantage of our weakness and took away a large amount of our land! When have they ever talked about morality?"
The people around nodded in agreement with the officer's words.
"And those little Japanese devils are becoming more and more aggressive and are bullying us! We Chinese people can't be so weak anymore!" someone echoed.
Everyone was emotional and indignant, and the discussion became louder and louder.
"We need to let those foreigners know that we Chinese are not easy to bully!"
"Yes! We must unite and fight against foreign enemies together!"
Everyone was talking at once, the atmosphere was heated and tense. Then a calm voice rang out: "Okay, everyone calm down." It was Li Delin, the commander in the center, who was speaking.
He looked at everyone and continued, "Although we are allies with the Russians, we cannot let our guard down. After all, there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. We must be prepared to deal with all kinds of situations."
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
"Morality! Who talks about morality now? Whoever has the bigger fist is moral!" A Sichuan Army general nearby frowned and said seriously.
His voice had a thick Sichuan accent and sounded a little stiff, but it was full of strength and determination.
Hearing this, everyone around fell silent. They knew that the general was right. The world has become more and more cruel, and morality seems to have become a luxury.
Only by having strong power can you protect yourself and your family and safeguard your own interests.
"Yes! Who would talk to you about morality now? We all speak with fists, and we are no different now!" another general echoed. His tone revealed a hint of helplessness and bitterness, as if he was dissatisfied and disappointed with reality.
Everyone nodded in agreement, with complicated expressions on their faces.
They understand that in this chaotic world, if they want to survive, they must learn to adapt to the environment and constantly improve their strength.
As for those who are weak, they can only rely on the strong to protect themselves, otherwise they will be eliminated.
However, although everyone knows this, deep down they still yearn for a fair and just world.
They hope to see more morality and ethics respected, and for people to no longer value power and wealth alone.
But the reality is so cruel that people have to face it and work hard to pursue their goals.
Now is not the time to let the horses rest. The Japs have not been driven away yet, but the Russians have already begun planning for post-war affairs.
But the people in the mountain city were still scheming against each other. Thinking of what Bai Chongxi had told him about the conspiracy the Kuomintang was going to carry out against the young man on the stage, Li Delin felt sorry for him and felt it was not worth it.
I'd better find a chance to talk to him! It's better to be prepared in advance!
