    News soon came to Wang Lijuan that Li Bingtian was willing to interview Li Guoyao just a week later, and the location was Suihua in northern Manchuria.

    Regarding the matter of going to northern Manchuria, Ma Desheng and Chen Jianzhong were unsure, and they were not willing to take the risk of Li Guoyao going north.

    But Li Guoyao knew that once this matter was completed, it would be of great significance to the Chinese and the advancing army, so he finally decided to go north and have a good talk with that old general Li.

    On January 4, 1944, Li Guoyao left Yushu with a guard of more than 200 people and headed for Suihua in northern Manchuria.

    Suihua is not far from Harbin, so the economic development here is pretty good. However, the further north you go, the stronger the Japanese and puppet troops become, and the worse the regional security environment becomes.

    Two days later, after passing through multiple blockades, Li Guoyao and others finally arrived at Qinjia Town on the north bank of the Hulan River in Suihua.

    When Li Guoyao and others arrived, General Li had already arrived early. After a while of greetings, the group followed General Li to a large courtyard in the town.

    January is the coldest season in the Northeast. The cold wind is howling outside and the charcoal stove is burning brightly inside.

    Separated from a large wooden square table, several representatives from both sides were seated at opposite ends.

    In addition to Li Guoyao, there are also Wang Lijuan and Xu Ziyu on the advancing army side. In addition to Li Bingtian, there is a blond and blue-eyed Soviet man on the other side. And based on Li Guoyao's experience, he can tell at a glance that the other party is a soldier, but the other party is not  He wasn't wearing a military uniform, so he didn't know what rank he was an officer.

    Just after the meeting began, Wang Lijuan stood up immediately and said: "Let's get to know each other before the meeting. Commander, let me introduce to you. This is General Li Bingtian!"

    Li Guoyao stood up immediately and said: "Senior is a true anti-Japanese hero. I have admired his name for a long time. I am honored to meet you!"

    Although Li Bingtian was very senior, he was far behind Li Guoyao in terms of performance. Moreover, he also learned through Soviet investigations that the young man in front of him was a powerful general with hundreds of thousands of troops, so he did not put on airs.

    "Hahaha, Li Guoyao, the rising star of the Northeastern Army, the God of War, even as an old man like me in the Soviet Union, I often hear people talk about General Li. I can see him today. It is indeed better to meet him than to be famous!"

    Then Li Bingtian pointed to the Soviet people beside him and said: "Let me introduce General Li. This is General Ivanov, deputy chief of staff of the Far East Military Region of the Soviet Red Army. He is the Soviet representative for this meeting!"

    When Li Bingtian was speaking, a simultaneous translator next to him translated his words into Russian. Therefore, after hearing the translator's words, Ivanov immediately said: "Li, I have heard about you. Your performance on the southern battlefield is impressive."  Surprised, you are a brave and capable general!"

    Li Guoyao smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you are exaggerating. It is the duty of our soldiers to fight against the Japanese and the Japanese. Although I don't want to do it myself, I have to do it because of the situation! Just like what you did on the Western Front  , although you are unwilling to fight the Germans, but those German devils invaded the Soviet Union, you have to take up arms to fight back. We are doing the same thing, we are all working hard for the survival of the country!"

    ¡°Bah bang bang!!!¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Ivanov clapped his hands, and then Li Bingtian and others immediately echoed.

    After the applause, Ivanov said again: "Actually, the original representative for this meeting was my assistant Lieutenant Colonel Victor, but when Comrade Commander of the Far East Military Region learned that the person to be interviewed turned out to be Li, he directly transferred  I sent it here, and I am honored to serve as the Soviet representative this time. I hope that our talks can achieve the results expected by both parties."

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "General Ivan, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. We have people, you have guns, and we have a common goal. This is the basis for our cooperation! This should be certain!"

    "Yes, there is indeed a basis for cooperation between us!" Ivanov said with certainty.

    "We need Soviet equipment to fight the Japanese Kwantung Army, and you want us to use Soviet aid to fight the Kwantung Army, so as to reduce the Kwantung Army's threat to the Soviet Union. Since we can reach a consensus on this point, then we can directly  Let¡¯s talk about how to cooperate!¡±

    Ivanov nodded and said: "Comrade Valentin asked someone to draw up a cooperation plan before coming here. General Li can listen to it!"

    "Please say!"

    Ivanov immediately said: "Our Far East Military Region can support your department with weapons and equipment for five divisions, that is, 50,000 rifles, 1,000 light machine guns, 600 heavy machine guns, and assault rifles.There are 2,000 guns and 200 anti-tank guns. In addition, the equipment and ammunition required to support two artillery regiments will be provided to your department. We can even form a tank brigade for your department. The main battle tank will be a bt7 fast tank!  "

    Li Guoyao said calmly: "There is no free lunch in the world, tell me your conditions!"

    "First of all, I need to make sure that the equipment of these five divisions can arm at least 75,000 people. I wonder if your department has so many troops?" Ivanov asked.

    Li Guoyao smiled and said: "You can rest assured about this. Our unit is currently divided into two parts. One part is stationed on the Sui-Cha front line, and the other part is in the Northeast. The number of troops in the Northeast alone far exceeds 70,000.  ! Chief of Staff Wang knows this best. With the relationship between you, she will not lie to you!"

    Ivanov nodded and said: "That's good, then I'll talk about our conditions! First of all, this batch of weapons and equipment is not free to support you. You need to pay a certain amount of money and materials after the war."

    "What's the specific amount?"

    "One million US dollars, settled in gold!"

    Li Guoyao thought for a while. Although one million US dollars was a lot of money, it could not buy the equipment of five divisions. It could be seen that the Soviets had made concessions or given sweeteners in this regard.

    "Can!"

    "The second condition is that we need to dispatch some officers to your department. Your department's military operations need to obtain our consent, and you must accept our command when necessary!"

    Li Guoyao immediately shook his head and said: "There is no room for negotiation on the issue of command authority of the troops. You provide the weapons and we will provide the men. We will lease the weapons and equipment to you. This is a fair deal, just like what the United States, Britain and other countries are doing with your country now."  The things are the same, but we have never seen the United States, Britain and other countries asking your country to hand over the command of its troops."

    "Then how can we be sure that your people will attack the Kwantung Army instead of the domestic Japanese army after taking weapons and equipment?" Ivanov said.

    Li Guoyao smiled and said: "You should know that I am from the Northeast Army. In our Northeast Army, all the soldiers have a common wish, which is to fight back to their hometown. So whether there is support from you or the Soviet Union, we will always be there.  The only difference between fighting here is how long or how short it takes!"

    "In that case, let's change this condition. We don't want to command your army, but we need to send a working group to your department to monitor the use of these weapons and equipment!"

    "You can send people, but they can't affect our army's operations, let alone leak our army's secrets."

    ¡°Of course this is no problem!¡±

    Ivanov then continued: "Our ministry hopes that your ministry can launch five large-scale attacks on the Kwantung Army one year after receiving the weapons and equipment to ensure that it will not attack our country within one year!"

    "The problem is not big, but the equipment of the five divisions is too little. We can barely equip Chief of Staff Wang's troops. If we want our army to launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese army, we will need at least ten divisions of equipment, plus tanks.  The troops must not be less than one division, and the number of tanks equipped must not be less than 600!" Li Guoyao said.

    Both Ivanov and Li Bingtian were stunned by Li Guoyao's huge appetite. The equipment of ten divisions can arm 150,000 people, plus hundreds of tanks and a large number of artillery. What kind of army will this arm?  troops, they really doubted whether Li Guoyao could eat it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
