Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 341 Winter Plan, Started

May 4, 1939.

Northeast, Kwantung Army Headquarters.

In the high-level conference room, General Umezu Michijiro, the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army, sat in the highest position.

On the left and right sides below are the commanders of the nine divisions of the Kwantung Army.

As well as the Kwantung Army Military Police Commander, Commander Tojo, a famous Class A war criminal in later generations.

Commander Ishihara, the initiator of the Three Alls Policy in the Northeast region.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, Shunroku Ishida, hurried into the conference room with a telegram and presented it to General Umezu.

After Umezu Mijiro took the telegram and read it, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.

"Everyone." General Umezu Mijiro stood up and said, "The local authorization document has arrived. I order..."

All the commanders at all levels stood up.

"The Winter Plan has officially begun. The 23rd Division will be the first to set out today."

"The 2nd, 4th, and 7th divisions stationed in the interior of the country are ready to attack at any time as reserve forces."

"The 5th and 14th Divisions stationed outside the Great Wall and the Manchurian Allied Forces are ready to provide support."

"Everyone, do you understand?"

"Hi..."

As the Cold Winter Plan was launched, the commander of the 23rd Division, Michitaro Komatsubara, led his troops into Outer Mongolia.

The 133rd Division had the strongest mechanized unit in the Kwantung Army, the rd Regiment.

The total number of troops is nearly 162, with 175 armored vehicles and tanks.

In order to cooperate with the 133rd Wing, the Army Direct Aviation Brigade specially transported more than aircraft from the interior and dispatched an aviation brigade to support the rd Division.

The original 200-plus aircraft squadron instantly doubled its strength to 480 aircraft...

All preparations and supplies were in place. At this time, the 23rd Division had a total of more than 25,000 combat personnel and more than 10,000 baggage and logistics personnel.

There are more than 300 armored vehicles and tanks of various types and 480 aircraft.

In addition, there were the 2nd, 4th and 7th Divisions that were eyeing them covetously from the rear, as well as the 5th and 14th Divisions providing support from outside the Great Wall and the Manchurian Allied Forces.

The total number has reached a staggering half a million.

Apart from the two divisions and the gendarmerie that had originally stayed in the Northeast to maintain public security and stability, the Kwantung Army seemed to have placed all its bets this time.

As long as the 23rd Division can build a good defense line in the Far East, follow-up troops will rush in and rewrite the glory of the Russo-Japanese War decades ago.

The Kwantung Army was full of confidence that the flag of the empire would fly again on Soviet territory...

However, they never expected that the news of the 23rd Division's departure had already reached the Soviets as soon as it issued the mobilization order.

Moscow, Kremlin...

After learning the intelligence sent by the Chinese Republic Government, the Kremlin leader, shaking his famous beard and holding his equally famous pipe, asked the people around him: "The Japanese actually want to invade the Far East. Who gave them the courage?"

Voroshilov, a member of the General Military Committee of the People's Commissariat of Defense, replied: "The Chinese government is worried that we are not prepared and does not want us to be taken advantage of by the Japanese."

"They are kind-hearted." He smiled and turned to look at Molotov, who was in charge of foreign affairs, and asked, "Is there any movement from the Third Reich now?"

"The Führer hopes that we can sign the document as soon as possible." Molotov, Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union and also in charge of foreign affairs, replied respectfully: "It can be seen that the little mustache man seems to be very anxious."

Comrade Leader smiled and said, "That's not surprising. He is planning to attack Poland and is afraid that we may cause him some trouble."

"But they don't know what our focus is. For us, liberating Finland is just a pilot before we liberate Poland."

"The sooner we deal with Finland, the more we will scare those who have evil intentions against the great Soviet Red Army."

Voroshilov looked at the intelligence sent by China with a look of disdain in his eyes: "Attacking the Soviet Union? Bah, where do they get the courage?"

"Don't underestimate the Japanese, Comrade Voroshilov." The leader spit out a cloud of smoke and said lightly, "The Mog team has found out in the Far East intelligence agency that those idiots have gathered a large number of troops in our Far East."

"The entire Kwantung Army has mobilized almost all the troops it can to occupy our territory. In this case, we must make them see the power of the Soviet Union."

"I want to let them know that the great Red Army can completely wipe out their influence in the Far East along the Trans-Siberian Railway..."

"Yes, those little rascals are only fit to bully the weak China..." Molotov suddenly interrupted, "By the way, the Chinese government hopes that we can provide them with a batch of supplies. There aren't many, just a few hundred tanks, a few hundred planes and some supplies. For us, it's just a few days' production."

"We just donated equipment for 20 divisions last time, and now they are asking for equipment again just a few days ago..." Voroshilov said dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Leader, we can't agree to them so easily."

Molotov looked at his leader and thought, "I think we still need the Chinese battlefield to help us contain the Japanese."

"However, I have a better idea. Instead of giving this aid directly to the Nationalist government, we can donate it to the Red Party in China."

"They are also our comrades. This time, they sent people to Moscow to learn the advanced ideas of the Communist International. I think they are in agreement with us."

"Okay." The leader thought for a moment and said, "The Chinese comrades are still unwilling to be under our leadership."

"But it is undeniable that our thoughts, our goals and our beliefs are the same. They have been following in our footsteps. Giving them some benefits can also bring the two sides closer together."

"At the appropriate time, perhaps they can be brought under the leadership of the Communist International again."

Molotov nodded and said, "Yes, this is exactly what we want to see. I will follow this instruction."

"Go ahead." The leader waved his hand and said to Voroshilov, "Do a good job of mobilizing the Red Army. Once everything is ready, launch a full-scale attack. I hope to hear the news that the Red Army has occupied Helsinki in the shortest possible time!"

"Yes, the great Soviet Red Army will surely defeat everything..."

I finished writing this chapter with fear, I am so afraid of being reviewed..
