Republic of China game

Page 292

On both sides of the conference table, people sat densely, including Red Army generals in military uniforms, and leaders of the Supreme Soviet, the People's Committee, and the Communist International in civilian clothes.All the people are smiling uncontrollably at the moment, although they don't know what is happy about it, but since Stalin looks like he is about to laugh, there must be something good happening. Just keep laughing.

Seeing that the facial expressions of the comrades were consistent with those of the Party Central Committee, Stalin nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Comrades, I want to report bad news to everyone. The Chinese revolution has reached the most dangerous time. According to According to Comrade Miff’s report, the Chinese Kuomintang is planning a full-scale military attack on the CCP! Its scale will be unprecedentedly large, and relying on the military power currently possessed by the CCP may not be able to survive the difficulties.”

Stalin spoke briskly, almost laughing, but he told the news that such a fraternal party was about to encounter catastrophe.The members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union below were all at a loss when they heard the words, but since Comrade Stalin has such a beaming expression, it is probably not a bad thing after all, right?So everyone followed suit with thunderous applause!

After a while, the applause gradually faded away. Stalin smiled and nodded at the participants: "Comrades, the situation of the Chinese revolution is indeed critical. The Chinese reactionaries have a strong military force and have defeated the mighty Japanese imperialism. The armed forces owned by the Communist Party of China are relatively weak, and now the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has requested help from the Comintern through Comrade Mif. Do you have any opinions on this?”

Stalin's gloating expression made the "comrades" a little confused, and couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a while, so naturally no one dared to speak up casually!If you say the wrong thing, it will be bad luck to annoy Stalin.

In the end, Bukharin, the head of the Comintern who started to sing against Stalin, stood up slowly: "Comrade Stalin, although the Chinese Communist Party ... did not grasp its position on the Mongolian issue and made some mistakes, but after all they It is a member party of the Communist International. Now they are at a critical moment of life and death, and we can’t just ignore it! Can you agree to the CCP’s request and provide them with some guns and ammunition?”

Stalin glared coldly at Bukharin, who could not speak, and his tone sank slightly: "Of course we must help the fraternal party against the enemy's attack! Especially for China, an important neighboring country that is related to the peace of the Soviet motherland. If China has completely fallen into the hands of Chinese imperialism, and the encirclement network of world capitalism against the Soviet Union will finally be formed! At that time, our Soviet Union will face even more severe challenges."

Now the senior members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union are getting more and more confused as they listen to it.It seems that the elimination of the Communist Party by the Chinese Kuomintang is not a good thing, so why did Stalin announce this news to everyone with a smile?Could it be to test everyone... Thinking of this, beads of sweat formed on everyone's foreheads uncontrollably.

The people below were thinking wrong for a moment, so they forgot to answer.Seeing some silence, Stalin's face sank.At this time, Voroshilov, who was always a little slow to react, suddenly thought of something, stood up hastily, and looked at Stalin with a smile on his face: "Comrade Stalin! The upcoming civil war in China will greatly improve the surrounding security of the Soviet motherland." Environment, another potential threat to us, Japan will definitely not let go of this opportunity... At that time, the Chinese Civil War is very likely to evolve into a three-party melee between the CCP, the Chinese Kuomintang, and Japan, and we, the Soviet Union, will gain a It is a rare opportunity for development, and under your wise leadership, the Soviet Union will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to rise to become the most powerful industrialized country in the world."

Voroshilov was just as eloquent as he was, much more well-behaved than Bukharin.The expression on Stalin's face has relaxed.He had been looking forward to this day for a long time!Now it's finally here.Immediately, he smiled and said: "Comrade Voroshilov is right. Our strategy is to transform the Chinese civil war into a decisive battle between China and Japan. All our work in the East must be carried out around this goal."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became active.Once they figured out Stalin's intentions, the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were still very good at making suggestions.

"Comrade Stalin, there is a great disparity between the strength of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in China. In order to prevent the Chinese Communist Party from bowing to the Kuomintang at a critical moment, we should give great assistance to the CCP. I suggest that we can store 20 rifles and match them with high-speed bullets. Ship it to China to arm the CCP.” This is the suggestion of Deputy Defense People’s Commissar Tukhachevsky.

Molotov, secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee and who had participated in the secret diplomacy between Japan and the Soviet Union, also put forward his own ideas: "We should send a special envoy to Japan to make it clear to them that the Soviet Union is willing to provide Japan with oil and steel during wartime, and Recognize their military occupation of Manchuria."

Even Kalinin, the chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, who is known as the "grandfather", was in high spirits and said loudly: "Before the CCP completes its preparations for war, we should suggest that the CCP adopt a moderate stance in negotiations with the Kuomintang. , such as agreeing to the Kuomintang to transport a small amount of supplies into the besieged city of Taiyuan in order to delay the outbreak of war.”

Hearing this, Stalin got up excitedly from his chair, took a few steps in the conference room with a pipe in his hand, and said, "Order the People's Commissariat of National Defense to send to China as soon as possible the guns and ammunition sufficient to arm 40 troops, The price is negotiable. In short, the weapons must be given to them first. In addition, the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs is instructed to send a special envoy to Japan and sign a secret treaty with them, mainly aimed at China. To relieve the Japanese's worries, as long as they If you are willing to do it, our rear will be safe!"

……

Harbin, Marshal's Mansion.

In the morning wind, the three looked at each other silently.The rising sun shone brightly, shining on Zhang Xueliang, Young Marshal Zhang, who was dressed in military uniform, as if a layer of gold leaf had been plated around his body.

He suddenly laughed bitterly at himself: "I didn't expect that I, the second-generation ancestor who lives in a corner, will become popular again now. The Kuomintang is desperately trying to win me over, and the CCP also treats me as a treasure... Two teachers, what do you think? ? Whose side am I supposed to be on?"

"Commander-in-Chief!" Lieutenant General Xiqia, the Security Commander of the Northeast Army Liaoning Province standing on Zhang Xueliang's right hand, stood at attention and replied angrily, "You are inheriting the legacy left by the old commander. Our four northeastern provinces How can you surrender to the KMT with its 40 elite troops in a rich and prosperous territory? If we do this, won’t the history books compare you with Liu Cong and Meng Chang in the future? Don’t we? The army also needs [-] people to disarm, and none of them is a man!"

Zhang Xueliang glanced at Xiqia, but still shook his head: "Chiang Kai-shek promised to give Beijing, Zhili, and Chahar to our Northeast Army, and he will only honor Wuhan in name. His words... should not be false Bar?"

There is no confidence in saying this, I am afraid that Zhang Xueliang himself will not believe it.Xiqia sneered twice: "Commander-in-Chief, this is not a question of whether Chiang Kai-shek keeps his word or not! It's a question of strength comparison. Now our relationship with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is like that of Sun Quan, Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms period. Right now Cao Cao is about to send troops to Chibi to destroy Liu Bei, if we, Sun Wu, don't help Liu Bei fight against Cao, but instead join Cao Cao to destroy Liu Bei, will there still be a third of the world in the future! Will there be a way for us to survive!" said At this point, Xiqia burst into tears, almost beating his chest and feet.

Zhang Xueliang remained silent, and he was very clear about the current situation. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party were vying for the ruling power of China in the future, and the Northeast Army was an important weight that might determine the outcome of this war!And the main reason why he has been unable to make up his mind is precisely the word "possible".Even with the support of the 40 Northeast Army, the Communist Party may not be able to defeat the Kuomintang in the end.At that time, the Northeast Army may be settled by the Kuomintang after autumn...

"Commander-in-Chief, I think Mr. Zhou of the CCP is sincere to us." Xiqia's mood stabilized a little, and he sighed softly: "Isn't the misunderstanding between us and the CCP in the past just for the sake of territory? Now they are willing to take Both Tianjin and the eastern part of Zhili were returned to us...doesn't that explain the problem?"

Zhang Xueliang suddenly thought of Japan, which has been eyeing the Northeast for a long time. He asked abruptly, "Is there anything unusual about the Japanese during this time?"

Xiqia thought for a while, and replied in a calm tone: "During this period of time, Japan is experiencing the Great Depression, and the economy is very difficult. Even buying some rice noodles has to rely on a ration card. How can there be room for expansion? I heard that this For two days, they are trying to reduce military expenditures. The Second Division stationed in Kanto Prefecture has resumed its normal establishment during this period, and there are only about [-] people. They are nested in the barracks as a whole, and even training has been wasted a lot. See You can't fight anymore."

"Oh!" Zhang Xueliang smiled, then looked back at Guo Songling: "Teacher, what do you think?"

Guo Songling also said indifferently: "The Japanese are indeed much quieter. During this period of time, even the ronin pioneer groups from all over the world have not caused much trouble. But... we can't just think that they have given up their ambitions for our Northeast. Maybe they It's paralyzing us."

Zhang Xueliang nodded calmly, and asked again: "Then what does the teacher think of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party that is about to break out now? Whose side should we be on?"

Guo Songling stared at Zhang Xueliang, and shook her head after a long while: "Hanqing, no matter what, civil wars are always a disaster for the country and the people... and at the moment, the victory of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is not good for us. The best result is to continue the confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so our best solution is... armed mediation! Let's learn from Wang Junhao to mediate the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party."

"That's a good idea!" Zhang Xueliang nodded, and just about to continue, Xiqia at the side suddenly interrupted: "Then shall our army enter the customs?"

Zhang Xueliang turned his head and smiled: "Of course we have to send troops into the customs, otherwise who will listen to our empty talk? Teacher Xiqia, go and tell Mr. Zhou of the Chinese Communist Party that I don't care about the territory... but I don't want to see it, okay? The country that is easy to settle down is just another war. If they agree with this view, I will bring 20 soldiers into the border to mediate the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party next month, and also mediate the battle in Shandong by the way. If the CCP does not agree, then the matter will be dropped. Our Northeast Army is just waiting outside the pass, and we will never enter the pass again!"

……

Wuhan, Nationalist Government Military Commission.

Chiang Kai-shek watched a telegram quietly. In the office, several confidants looked at Lao Jiang's face.This telegram was sent personally by He Chengjun, who was sent by Chiang Kai-shek to the Northeast. It was deciphered by Chiang Kai-shek's chief bodyguard with a cipher book. No one knows what happened in the Northeast.In Chiang Kai-shek's anti-communist conspiracy, the Northeast Army is the key link, and nothing should go wrong.

Chiang Kai-shek read the telegram with a cold expression.With a snap, he threw the telegram on the desk: "Huh! This Zhang Hanqing has taken so many things from us, and now he wants to come to mediate with armed forces! It's really a shame to want to swallow half of Zhili without firing a single shot." Extremely hateful!"

Yang Yongtai, who had just returned from Tianjin, hurriedly picked up the telegram, read it over and over again, and his face gradually became livid.More than half of the anti-communist conspiracy this time came from his handwriting. Using the Jin army to consume the CCP, contacting the Feng army and the youth army to attack from three sides, these are all his ideas for Lao Jiang.Unexpectedly, Zhang Xueliang would do something like this when things came to an end!

"Jie Gong...we still have to continue to win over Zhang Xueliang. Now he just said that he wanted to 'armed mediation' and did not stand on the side of the CCP."

Chiang Kai-shek sneered: "These reactionary warlords are essentially the same, and they don't want us to unify China at all. We can't always win over these people... we have to have someone come out to play the bad face and give him some trouble. "

"Jie Gong means..."

Chiang Kai-shek snorted: "Where do I need to deal with Zhang Xueliang? You go and call Luo Fuwen and ask him to come over."

Chapter 0499 The Nationalist Civil War ([-])

"Fuwen, Brother Fuwen, have you thought of a way?" Chiang Kai-shek approached with a spring-like smiling face and asked with concern.It was only at this moment that Luo Yaoguo realized that the teacup he was holding was slightly tilted, and the tea had spilled all over his military uniform, and he had been distracted for an unknown amount of time.

Today he was invited by Yang Yongtai to Chiang Kai-shek's office. He thought he was going to talk about new tanks.Luo Yaoguo wanted to report to Chiang Kai-shek on the finalization of the 10-ton tank project since Yexian returned to Wuhan, but Lao Jiang was so busy these two days that he didn't have any time to spare.Until an hour ago...but Chiang Kai-shek only had a few words on this question: "Brother Fu Wen, you can do things like airplanes, tanks and warships. The military industry of our Kuomintang was built by you. Who are we with your talents?" Don’t know?” Then Lao Jiang changed the subject: “Brother Fuwen, this Zhang Xueliang is going to come to mediate the conflict between us and the Communist Party with arms, do you know? This Zhang Xueliang took so many planes and cannons from us, but at the critical moment, he didn’t Towards us, it's really disgusting! You can't let him go like this, you have to teach him a lesson! I know that the Military Intelligence Bureau has worked hard on the Northeast Army, so you must have a way to give Zhang Xueliang a little bit of trouble, right? "

Next, Chiang Kai-shek asked Luo Yaoguo to find a way to deal with Zhang Xueliang in the name of the Chairman of the Military Commission.This matter...it's really hard to refuse.Isn't the job of him and Lao Jiang to fight for the Kuomintang?Now Chiang Kai-shek is planning to deal with the Communist Party day and night, while Luo Yaoguo has been standing by and watching, and he doesn't know how to help.If you don't deal with the Communist Party, Zhang Xueliang should be able to deal with it, right?Zhang Xueliang doesn't have any powerful backers, so he won't cause much trouble if he deals with it.

To be honest, it is too easy to deal with Zhang Xueliang!There are so many methods that he doesn't know which one to use, Luo Yaoguo lost his mind after thinking about it.

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Luo Yaoguo with a smile: "Brother Fuwen, what does this 9.18 mean? Is it the code name of the intelligence personnel of our Military Intelligence Bureau lurking in the Northeast Army?"

"I, I, I, did I say it?"

Luo Yaoguo was covered in white sweat all of a sudden, looked around guilty, and saw only him, Lao Jiang, and Yang Yongtai in the office.Yang Yongtai was pretending to be waving his folding fan at the moment, with the air of a calm celebrity, as if he didn't care what Luo Yaoguo and Chiang Kai-shek had to say at all.

"Jiegong, this time the CCP has agreed for us to transport a batch of food supplies into Taiyuan." Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, and quickly changed the subject: "Now that Zhang Xueliang is willing to mediate, maybe the war can...be postponed for a while."

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head with a smile, and waved his hands: "We and the Communist Party are already on the verge of breaking out. Not long ago, they stopped all engineering projects at the Baotou Heavy Industry Base, and they also purchased a batch of grain from the international market... There is also an unknown amount of funds used to purchase arms from the Soviet Union. It is said that there are 20 rifles! There are also a large number of bullets. This information is all sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau."

Luo Yaoguo glanced at Chiang Kai-shek, and said in disbelief: "This old Chiang seems to be eager to start the fight, and he is so happy to hear that the CCP got the Soviet Union's weapons and ammunition. It seems that there are some things that need to be made clear."

"Mr. Jie, there are naturally many ways to deal with Zhang Xueliang." Luo Yaoguo shook his head slightly: "I don't know what purpose Mr. Jie wants to achieve? Is it to overthrow Zhang Xueliang's rule in the Northeast?"

Chiang Kai-shek was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Luo Yaoguo's unfathomable smile there, as if he really had great powers, and Zhang Xueliang would have to go back home to pick up the child if he said a word.

Luo Yaoguo took a sip of the tea cup, and said to Chiang Kai-shek with a smile, "We are not the ones who want to overthrow Zhang Xueliang right now, but the Japanese! Aixinjueluo Xiqia, who Zhang Xueliang relies on as his confidant general, is doing things for the Japanese." Yes, and Jin Puxin, who got rid of Zhang Zongchang the year before last, also had an affair with the Japanese. Oh, as far as we know, Tang Yulin from Rehe also seems to be suspected of this... It is estimated that when the main force of the Northeast Army enters the customs , Zhang Xueliang's foundation may be lost at any time."

With a bang, it turned out that Yang Yongtai stood up abruptly and knocked down the chair he was sitting on.

Yang Yongtai's expression changed drastically, and he pointed at Luo Yaoguo with a folding fan in his hand: "It's true! Luo Fuwen, are you trying to scare us?"

Luo Yaoguo ignored him, took another breath, and said in a deep voice: "The Japanese have always had ambitions for Manchuria. This is well known to passers-by, but the defeat in the Battle of Shandong was a little restrained. It's just... After the death of the first Prime Minister, their ambitions rose again. Especially when we and the CCP have reached a point of daggers, the Japanese will naturally not give up this last chance. You two watch, either this year or next year, the Northeast The situation is badly kept!"

Chiang Kai-shek, however, still sat firmly, calmly said, "Hmph, the Japanese have already been defeated by us once, and it's no big deal! Wait until we wipe out the Communist Party, and then send troops to drive them out!"

Luo Yaoguo smiled, and looked a little mocking: "...Commissioner, you are so concerned about destroying the Communist Party? Have you never thought that the Communist Party's hundreds of thousands of troops are also very useful for defending the country and fighting against the Japanese invaders? They rushed to the mountains in the northwest, and Zhili, Beijing and Tianjin have returned to us... At that time, we will fight Japan in the east, and the CCP in the west... No matter how you look at it, it looks like the situation in the late Ming Dynasty!"
