...ground from under Russia's agitation for a troop census by giving the figure on U.S. forces abroad: 550,000. Most of them, he added, were in occupation areas. There were 96,000 in the Philippines, only 19,000 in China. Russia, he thought, had many more in Manchuria. Britain's Bevin, who had no ready figures, nevertheless added his bit: Britain's total army was now under 1,000,000. About the Red Army, Molotov said nothing...

Rather than surrender his godlike reputation and disappoint the folks, Sugino settled down to nearly a half century's hiding in Hulutao, a bleak blister on Manchuria's coast.

Across the 240-mile-wide neck of the Yellow Sea a great fleet of junks had plied, bringing captured Japanese arms to the Shantung Communists, ferrying Eighth Route Army soldiers to Manchuria. The Nationalist Victory pocketed the Shantung Reds between the Tsingtao-Tsinan Railway and the sea; and in Manchuria, it strengthened the Government flank for the ultimate drive north on Harbin...
