Moreover, in the secret negotiations in Shanghai, the topic of discussion was not only the conditions of the armistice, but also the future relationship between China and Japan and the division of power in Asia and the Western Pacific... The issues involved here are not only to be kept absolutely secret from Britain and the United States , even among their respective domestic high-level officials, it cannot be made public, otherwise it will cause an unimaginable uproar.So this Yongtian Tieshan had no choice but to ignore the danger and use a pseudonym to sneak into Shanghai to attend the meeting alone.Who makes Japan weak and China strong now, and Japan still needs China?

Nagata Tieshan knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for Japan to get out of the predicament of defeat with the support of the United Kingdom. If Japan really wants to accumulate the gambling capital to participate in the division of interests in the world, it must cooperate with China!What the UK can provide is nothing more than a little capital and technology, but Japan's heavy industry cannot develop without China's resources.Iron ore, coal, non-ferrous metals... All of these can only be obtained from mainland China. In the past, they wanted to plunder, but in the future they can only be obtained through fair trade.

Although China also wants to develop heavy industry, their resources, especially coal and iron, are still very abundant.Yongtian Tieshan's grasp of China's resources is by no means inferior to that of Luo Yaoguo. Of course, he knows that the annual output of millions or even tens of millions of tons of steel is nothing compared to China's rich coal and iron resources, so China is fully capable of exporting a large amount of resources to Japan while meeting its own heavy industry development needs.But the premise is that Japan must have sufficient payment capacity, and the relationship between the two countries is also friendly enough... Even if it does not seem very friendly, there should be common interests.Put yourself in China's position and consider that although the conflicts between China and Japan are not small, there are still common interests.In other words, Japan is still useful to China... Isn't this international politics all about mutual use?As the British guy said, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.Can the bit of hatred between China and Japan compare with Britain and France?Both Britain and France can put aside their previous suspicions and jointly deal with Germany, so why can't China and Japan join forces to deal with the three old world empires of Britain, France and Russia?

So when Japan is still shouting and beating China, it is still shouting for "ten years of reunion, ten years of revenge".Nagata Tieshan and his confidants have realized that if Japan wants to become a great power, it must unite with China instead of continuing to confront China.Because if Japan wants to become a great power, it must expand its territory. Only by swallowing a large and fertile territory can Japan truly rise... Otherwise, it will only rely on the great powers and act as a tool for them to contain China. Lack of resources and living space and reduced to second-rate or even third-rate countries.While Japan wants to gain living space, China is not the only goal.The South Sea colonies of Britain, France, the United States and the Netherlands, the Far East and Eastern Siberia of the Soviet Union, and Australia with only tens of millions of white colonists... Japan only needs to seize a small part of them, and it is enough to make 7000 to [-] million people live in the next few days. Lived a life of comfort and prosperity for hundreds of years.And he could still feel that Luo Yaoguo also had the same thoughts as him, this Chinese militarist was already drooling over the rich colonies occupied by those white ghosts!

The stairs creaked softly.Luo Yaoguo, who was wearing a green cloth gown, and Yoshiko Kawashima, who was dressed in Japanese style, came down from above. Behind them was a plump and beautiful foreign girl. Nagata Tieshan guessed that it should be the Polish beauty Natalie.Compared with her amazing beauty, the "No. [-] Beauty in Manchuria" Yoshiko Kawashima is just an ugly duckling.No wonder she became the most beloved and trusted woman around Luo Yaoguo.However, this Luo Yaoguo's preference for women's figures is really very westernized. It's really not easy to find a purebred Japanese girl to give him according to this standard...

……

Luo Yaoguo began to look at Yongtian Tieshan on the stairs, his eyes flickered, showing complicated emotions.And Yongtian Tieshan also sat there calmly, without the intention of standing up to greet him.The living room was quiet, and Luo Yaoguo and the two women's footsteps could be heard.They walked to the opposite side of Yongtian Tieshan, Luo Yaoguo and Kawashima Yoshiko sat down side by side, Natalie stood by, a pair of beautiful eyes staring at Yongtian vigilantly, with her right hand behind her back, holding a loaded gun in her hand. revolver!

The meeting with Yongtian Tieshan was carried out under extremely secret circumstances, and none of his confidantes, including Luo Shun, participated in it.Luo Yaoguo just lived in Du Yuesheng's Dumei Road mansion with Natalie in the name of going to Shanghai for vacation, and Yoshiko Kawashima was sentenced to death by the Army Military Court of the National Revolutionary Army, and was hanged in the hospital three days ago. Into the execution room of Wuhan Central Military Prison.

Now these three people and a confidant butler of the Luo family appeared in this bungalow belonging to the Pacific Trading Company controlled by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and met with an extremely dangerous Japanese militarist.And Natalie, who has undergone strict fighting and shooting training, will naturally play the role of a beautiful bodyguard...Of course, Luo Yaoguo never thought that the leader of the Japanese control faction would be even more careless than himself, and he would be alone in danger without a single subordinate up.Looking at Nagata's small plastic physique, he seems to be a little too careful.

Luo Yaoguo nodded slightly as he greeted Yongtian, and he spoke fluent German: "Mr. Yongtian, are you interested in the proposal I made four years ago now?"

Yongtian Tieshan smiled bitterly. Of course he still remembered the meeting with Luo Yaoguo in Beijing that year, and he also replied in German: "It turns out that Your Majesty the Marshal has not forgotten that meeting. I listened to Your Excellency's suggestion and thought about it when I went back. It has been a long time, but I always feel that the British and French powers are powerful, and even if China and Japan unite together, they are not their opponents. Unless...the industrial strength of our two countries can be further enhanced."

Luo Yaoguo raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that the industrial strength of the two countries was going to be strengthened, thinking that this Japanese devil is really very cunning, does he want to use Chinese resources to develop Japan's heavy industry?He said coldly: "The two great powers of Britain, France, and Soviet Russia, their territory in Asia and the Pacific region are all targets that our two countries can grab. And these three powers don't need us to defeat! The Germans will go To defeat them, we just need to grab territory. So Japan does not need too strong industrial strength, what Japan needs is wisdom and a correct strategy.”

"What!" Luo Yaoguo's words resounded in Yongtian Tieshan's ears like thunder and lightning.Is he so confident in Germany?In the last European war, Germany lost to Britain and France.Yongtian Tieshan shook his head, just about to say something, but Luo Yaoguo said lightly: "Germany needs a correct strategy just like us, as long as Germany, China, Poland, and Japan really cooperate closely, they will definitely be able to use the smallest The price is to seize their respective empires. And... Mr. Nagata did not realize that the fear and hatred of Britain and France for the Soviet Union far exceeds that of Germany and our two countries? Isn't the revival of our country and Germany just under the banner of anti-Soviet? Did it come true? The wishful thinking of Britain, France, and the United States may be to let us and the Soviet Union die together... And this is the opportunity we are facing. I wonder if you, Japan, want to participate in this gamble?"

Chapter 0609 post-war layout (five) signs of world war

The air in the room was as silent as death, Yongtian Tieshan weighed Luo Yaoguo's suggestion, and Luo Yaoguo was also observing Yongtian's reaction.The eyes of the two men met without giving in.

It is certainly a tempting proposition to jointly seize the territories of the three world empires of Britain, France and Russia in Asia and Australia.However, it is not so easy to unite the two old enemies of China and Japan. The international politics of modern Asia is not as mature as that of Europe.Any two countries that are hostile to each other can unite without hesitation because of common interests, and any seemingly unbreakable alliance will collapse in a blink of an eye because of the loss of common interests.But the current China and Japan are actually controlled by a group of nationalist cynics, and their thinking has more nationalist sentiments.Unlike the veteran imperialist politicians like Britain and France, they have interests in addition to interests.He would never consider that the object of the alliance was his old enemy, nor would he consider that the enemy he wanted to oppose was his most staunch ally not long ago.Even a wily statesman like Bismarck, before going to war with Austria, was prepared to form an alliance with Austria after it was defeated... and in China and Japan, even a few statesmen have realized that the two countries now have a common They did not dare to openly propose an alliance, but could only meet secretly.

In the breathless silence, Nagata Tieshan suddenly smiled and broke the silence first: "Marshal, I want to know what Japan can gain from this war against the Soviet Union?"

Luo Yaoguo just smiled lightly, and he slowly said: "The Russian Far East Primorsky Krai south of the Amur River and the Northern Sakhalin Islands cover about 20 square kilometers."

"That's all?" Nagata Tieshan frowned slightly, showing a disappointed expression: "The Soviet Union has nearly 2000 million square kilometers of land. Isn't our Japanese income too little?"

Luo Yaoguo glanced at him, and seemed not surprised by his dissatisfaction: "Japan's income will be directly proportional to Japan's contribution, and Germany and Poland will be the main players in this war against the Soviet Union. After all, the core area of ​​the Soviet Union is in the Europe, not Vladivostok. And China will take on the role of attracting a large number of Soviet troops and organizing alliances, you Japan..." He shrugged: "Japan is a dispensable role. The 16 people in the Soviet Far East Primorye We don’t have to give you the square kilometers...but in order to show our sincerity for the cooperation between China and Japan, we gave it to you Japan! And I also want to remind General Nagata that the key to the harmonious coexistence of China and Japan lies in Japan Become a naval power, while China becomes an army power. If Japan wants to gain too much territory on the Asian continent and become an army power, then the basis for our two countries to live in harmony will not exist!"

What Luo Yaoguo said was very frank and sincere, and Yongtian Tieshan didn't hear any doubts. China has always paid little attention to the ocean in history, and its thinking is originally continental.Moreover, after the elimination of the Soviet Union, China will basically be able to dominate the entire eastern part of the Eurasian continent, and naturally it will not allow Japan to become another army power entrenched in the Eurasian continent.However, Japan's income from this war seems to be a little less, and I don't know if Luo Yaoguo has any other arrangements for this?

"Your Excellency, Marshal, is 20 square kilometers the entire income of Japan in this war?" Nagata Tieshan asked again.

"Mr. Yongtian, what exactly is this war you are talking about? Can you tell me?" Luo Yaoguo asked back.

"Of course it's the war against the Soviet Union by Germany, China, Poland, and Japan," Nagata Tieshan replied casually.

"Hahaha..." Luo Yaoguo looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Mr. Yongtian's words are wrong. This war is not only against Soviet Russia, it will be a world war! It is World War II, and the Soviet Union will be destroyed. It's just the beginning of this great war... it's just the beginning. Because the collapse of a huge empire like the Soviet Union means that the current pattern of maintaining world balance has been completely broken. In Europe, Germany and Poland will become the world's largest by seizing the territory of the Soviet Union. The first-class powers, especially Germany, will be the most powerful country in the world. At that time, the balance of the European continent will no longer exist, and a victorious Germany will no longer be willing to be contained by Britain and France, and neither will Britain and France Tolerate the existence of an overly strong Germany... So the war between Britain and France and Germany will be impossible to avoid, and Britain and France will lose this world war! At that time, the two world empires of Britain and France will collapse again!"

Nagata Tieshan shook his head slightly: "The Soviet Union is a country with a vast territory and a large population. It is impossible to be conquered in a short period of time. The war is likely to last ten years or even longer. By then, Germany and Poland may be exhausted. Has the ability expanded? It will be very difficult to even maintain the acquired empire.”

Regarding Yongtian Tieshan's worries, Luo Yaoguo just smiled lightly: "The war may last ten years, or it may end within ten months. It depends on the skills of the Germans. I guess in the eyes of Britain, the United States and France , This war should last ten years or more? After all, the countries that invaded Russia in history did not end well. For example, Sweden, Poland, and Napoleon all failed. But it is precisely because of this reason, The United Kingdom and the United States will support our China and Germany to grow stronger. And you Japan is used to contain our China, so you can also get opportunities for development, and Germany will use France to contain it... The British balance technique is very good .”

Seeing that Luo Yaoguo changed the subject, Yongtian Tieshan was slightly disappointed, but he didn't continue to be serious about this issue, after all, the day when the cake is divided is still far away.Now what he wants to solve is the resource bottleneck in the development of Japan's heavy industry.He smiled and said, "Britain is naturally a master of balance and containment, and our two countries must join forces, so we can't act as a pawn of Britain and be used by it."

Unfortunately, his words did not resonate with Luo Yaoguo, he just nodded noncommittally.Nagata Tieshan could only continue to flicker: "And the hope of breaking the British and French world empires cannot be completely pinned on Germany! Maybe after defeating the Soviet Union, Britain and France will live in harmony with Germany, recognize Germany's status as a great power, and return them. The colonies of the Soviet Union... and Germany may not plan to expand further after obtaining the most elite territory of the Soviet Union. Therefore, the mission of expelling the white ghost forces from Asia can only be undertaken by China and Japan, the two advanced yellow countries! Only by uniting and cooperating for joint development in the next few decades can Japan and Japan accomplish this great mission of liberating the oppressed yellow race."

"Mr. Yongtian, just tell me what you want." Luo Yaoguo's expression was very calm, and those nonsense talk about liberating the yellow race would have no effect on him.In fact, he didn't like the group of monkeys in Southeast Asia, the Indian Asan, and the Korean Bangzi at all, and he didn't like the Japanese either.

"Japan's heavy industry needs your country's resources, and our products also hope to be sold in your country." Nagata Tieshan waited expectantly for Luo Yaoguo's reply.

"Oh, that's right." Luo Yaoguo nodded: "There is no problem with exporting resource products to Japan, and Japanese products can also be sold in our country, but they have to pay the same tariffs as products from Britain, the United States and other countries, and there will be no preferential treatment. "

Nagata Tieshan sighed softly. Importing resource products from China can reduce the production cost of Japanese heavy industry enterprises, but China's high import tariffs continue to block Japanese products.In the past two years, the international economy continued to be depressed, the demand for Japanese products, especially silk, dropped sharply, the price of raw silk plummeted, and Japan's foreign exchange reserves were almost exhausted.If there is not enough foreign exchange, what will be used to pay for imported resources?Without enough resources to support, Japan's heavy industry can only continue to hover at a low level. This bleak prospect makes him somewhat discouraged.

Seeing Nagata's disappointed expression, Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly, and he gestured to Yoshiko Kawashima, asking her to bring a world map and spread it out in front of Nagata Tieshan.

"Mr. Nagata, any developed country will not easily give up its own market, and it is impossible to sell its own resources cheaply. In the long run, resources, especially non-renewable resources, will inevitably become more and more expensive. Therefore Only by holding the origin of these resources in our own hands can we ensure the long-term development of the country."

Luo Yaoguo pointed to Lanyin, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand on the map, and said with a smile: "More than 5000 kilometers from Tokyo Bay to the south will allow Japan to own a continent, with iron ore, coal, oil, and land. And it’s not too far away from Japan, you have quite a few islands in the Pacific Ocean that can serve as springboards.”

Australia!If it is said that Japan has never cared about this fertile continent, Luo Yaoguo would not believe anything.However, Japan in history did not get involved in Australia. They were blocked in Papua New Guinea, which was only one step away from Australia on the map.But in this time and space, Japan should go further, right?After all, they don't need to put more than 100 million troops into the Chinese battlefield, and they realized the importance of aircraft carriers earlier.More importantly, the British mainland is likely to be occupied by Nazi Germany!But when Japan wants to go south to Australia, it will not be without some obstacles, that is the United States... Can Japan be confident and bold to conquer Australia across the ocean of more than 4000 kilometers under the eyes of the powerful US Navy?

Yongtian Tieshan frowned and fell into silence. After a while, he raised his head and asked again: "Will the world war that your Excellency Marshal said really happen?"

"Yes." Luo Yaoguo smiled deeply: "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Japan's national power is certainly far inferior to that of Britain and the United States, but as long as it is fully prepared and strategically appropriate, it is still possible to win the war that is about to break out." One's own interests. However, preparations will begin immediately, and perhaps this war will break out in a few years."

Yongtian Tieshan hesitated for a moment: "Will it erupt so early?"

"Next year, the year after next at the latest, you will be able to see signs of the outbreak of war."

Yongtian Tieshan fell into silence again, this time longer than before. Finally, he stood up and bowed slightly to Luo Yaoguo: "Thank you for your suggestion, I will definitely consider your proposal seriously next time, and I will also wait for the outbreak of war The signs are coming."

Luo Yaoguo also bowed to him and smiled slightly: "Let's continue today's talk when Mr. Yongtian sees the signs." He straightened up and sent Yongtian Tieshan to the gate, ending this far-reaching meeting.At this moment he already knows that the location of the next meeting will be in Berlin, Germany.

……

"Stand at attention!" With a resounding command, all the officers in the operating room of the General Command of the Qiqihar Communist Alliance Army (Trotskyist Armed Forces) stood upright.There was a loud sound of boots at the door, and besides the serious Wang Zhongyi, Chen Duxiu, Peng Shuzhi and other important figures of the Chinese Trotskyites walked in.At the just-convened Second National Congress of the Communist League of China, Wang Zhongyi was elected as the vice chairman of the alliance and the chairman of the Military Commission, officially becoming the No.Today, for the first time, he is presiding over a military council as the leader of a revolution rather than a warlord.

Although the Trotskyist brand has been put up, Wang Zhongyi does not want a war with the CCP to break out at this time.So during this period of time, he still tried his best to tolerate the CCP and wanted to maintain peace between the two sides. Both he and Chen Duxiu hoped to resolve the differences between the Trotskyites and the CCP through negotiations, and spare no effort to maintain the hard-won post-war peace, so that the common people and their trust Every faction can have a chance to cultivate and develop the economy.

Unexpectedly, their goodwill could not be responded by the CCP, especially after the Kuomintang announced that it was preparing to start land reform and realize the major improvement measures of land to the tiller, the CCP began to prepare for war!Although this kind of war preparation seems completely harmless, for example, the CCP’s official journal "Red Star News" published consecutive editorials, highly appraising the Kuomintang’s land reform, calling it China’s first good governance in 2000 years, and Hu Hanmin as the A well-deserved great leader!Another example is that the CCP continued to show goodwill to the youth army entrenched in the Northwest, and sent Mao Zemin as a representative to Xinjiang to talk with Wang Zixing, expressing to him that he was willing to serve as a bridge between Wang Zixing and the Soviet Union, and to make efforts to ease the tense Sino-Soviet border relations .

However, this abnormal act of showing favor to the Kuomintang and the Youth Party, in the eyes of Wang Zhongyi and Chen Duxiu, is an important step in the CCP's war preparations!The CCP wants to stabilize the Kuomintang and Al-Shabaab so that it can use the main force to attack the Trotskyists. The danger of war is approaching.

At the same time, the information collected by the intelligence agencies of the Allied Army (Trotskyist Army) on the mobilization of the CCP’s Red Army also supported the judgment that the war was about to break out.The main force of the Red Army is now rapidly gathering in the eastern regions of Rehe, Jilin, and Heilongjiang provinces. It is obvious that these military mobilizations are preparations for attacking the western part of Heilongjiang province.Under such circumstances, after secret negotiations between Wang Zhongyi and Chen Duxiu, they finally made up their minds to fight!Today, Chen Duxiu walked into the war room of the Allied Army Headquarters side by side with Wang Zhongyi in military uniform, and listened to the military preparation suggestions and military deployment situation of the Allied Army General Staff Headquarters. The absolute support of military leaders!

When Chen Duxiu stepped into this murderous alliance war room, he felt a very obvious sense of incongruity.He always kept a considerable distance from the officers of the Union Army that Wang Zhongyi single-handedly employed, and he also maintained the reserve that he should have as a political leader, just like he did when he was in the CCP.But when he stepped into the core of the Alliance Army for the first time, he still felt the difference between the Alliance Army and the Red Army he had come into contact with back then.Calm, rigorous, and very formal.The large military map on the wall is full of military symbols that he can't understand.The large sand table is already densely covered with marks.There are red military secure telephones everywhere.The young staff officer stood beside the telephone with an arrogance and a cold look on his face, greeting him as a political leader with a knife-like look in his eyes.Chen Duxiu vaguely felt that this army, at least the core command organization of this army, was completely different from the Red Army. They seemed to be more like the National Revolutionary Army in the south. It seems that the CCP’s previous allegations that Wang Zhongyi was a puppet of the South were not all lies. ah……

Just when he was thinking wildly, Wang Zhongyi was already smiling and beckoning him to take a seat.In front of the large map in the war room, there were three seats, the middle one was for Chen Duxiu, and the two sides were for Wang Zhongyi and Peng Shuzhi.In front of the map, Lin Yurong, Chief of Staff of the Alliance Army, Tang Yao, Chief of the First Army, Shen Xingye, Chief of the Second Army, and Tian Chengye, Chief of the Third Army, were all waiting to start their work report.

"Chairman Chen, Minister Peng. The situation I briefed you two today is a top-secret military deployment and adjustment. I just want to let Chairman Chen and Minister Peng know that our alliance army can and dares to fight." , have made all preparations. But this does not mean that the army is eager to try and provoke this civil war that the people of the whole country oppose. The choice of fighting or not is not in our hands, but in the hands of those on the opposite side " Wang Zhongyi's tone was low and forceful, and what he said was also well-founded. From the beginning, he expressed his attitude that he and the alliance army were unwilling to fight a civil war.In the huge war room, only his voice was heard echoing for a while, and it seemed more serious and quiet.Chen Duxiu nodded. In fact, he was also extremely unwilling to go to war with the CCP. After all, the two sides still share common beliefs... and he also knew the reason why the lips were cold and the teeth were cold.

Chapter 0610 brothers fight against the wall ([-]) to drive away tigers and wolves

Changchun, Nanhu, the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

The secretary gently opened the door of the conference room, put the tea in front of the members of the Politburo, and walked out quickly without daring to vent his breath, but when he closed the door, he still unconsciously looked at the gray sky outside And the gloomy office, only sighed softly when the crack of the door was completely covered.

The Kuomintang actually wants to carry out land reform!

Although the big guys don't say anything, they all know what it means in their hearts.

The Agrarian Revolution has always been the CCP's sharpest weapon, and it is also the place where the Kuomintang fears the CCP the most.The land issue was once considered the culprit of the Kuomintang, and the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang will eventually be overthrown by the intensified land conflicts!This point of view has almost become a stereotype in the minds of Chinese revolutionaries.

And overnight, the myth that the Kuomintang cannot carry out land reform was completely shattered!Of course, the Kuomintang’s land reform is not expropriation or revolutionary, but a land reform that is in line with the use of the big landlords and the big bourgeoisie, and it is a land reform that transforms the big landlords into the big bourgeoisie!The national government will take out the stocks and government bonds of Chinese monopoly enterprises worth 150 billion French currency to buy the land of the landlords, transform them into the bourgeoisie, and resell the bought land to the farmers who lease it... thus completing The last step of the Chinese bourgeois revolution!After some analysis and discussion, the leaders of the CCP found that this kind of land reform was inevitable, and it was the inevitable result of the Chinese bourgeois revolution.

The Kuomintang just had to follow this historical trend!And it is an irreversible and stagnant historical development trend.
