Republic of China game

The last thing is to replenish weapons and ammunition for the troops and a large number of new equipment, as well as prepare food and salaries after going north.Including Czech-style light machine guns using 7.62mm caliber bullets, Min-2 anti-aircraft machine guns imitating the American M15 Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun...

Just as Luo Yaoguo stepped into the house, he immediately saw Chen Duxiu, Wang Ming, and Hu Xun sitting in the hall.At the moment, Lu Xiaobei and Natalie are chatting with them without saying a word.Seeing Luo Yaoguo coming in, several people hurriedly got up to greet him and say hello.

"Hey, it's Secretary Chen! There are also Mr. Chen (Wang Ming) and Mr. Hu, rare visitors, rare visitors." Luo Yaoguo and Wang Ming and Hu Xun had met several times in the Soviet Union, and they still traveled the same way on the train to Vladivostok. Therefore, it is considered polite when the host and guest meet.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Chen Duxiu managed to force a smile, and tentatively said, "General Luo, it seems that someone is plotting to attack the Chinese people now...My friend, the Soviet Union, your party also advocates alliance with Russia, I don't know... ..."

Luo Yaoguo's face darkened after a while, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Secretary Chen is serious? I don't know which country is so arrogant that it dares to attack the great Soviet Union?"

Chen Duxiu glanced at the two Bolsheviks who were sitting upright beside him, and felt slandered for a while, before he smiled awkwardly at Luo Yaoguo: "This...the one who is plotting to attack the Soviet Union is...that is our Chinese... Beijing Feng faction government .”

There was a snap.Luo Yaoguo patted the coffee table again, stood up and shouted: "These reactionaries! It's really outrageous! They dare to attack the Soviet Union, the most sincere friend of our Chinese people! Friends of your party, rest assured, our party will never allow If this kind of thing happens, I will send a telegram to the Beijing government to warn them that they will never set foot on the territory of the Soviet Union! I promise..."

"Hmph! The Feng faction reactionaries dare to set foot on the territory of the Soviet Union! How could such a thing happen? General Luo, stop pretending to be confused in front of us!" Wang Ming sneered and interrupted Luo Yaoguo's words.

Luo Yaoguo was not angry either, just smiled, and sat down again: "In that case, let's open the skylight and speak frankly, so you may as well just say what you want."

"We hope that the Kuomintang can implement your three major policies, stand on the same front with the Soviet Union and our party, jointly defend the Soviet Union, and stop the conspiracy of the reactionaries... As long as you are willing to support our party's proposition of defending the Soviet Union, we will I will help you complete the second Northern Expedition, and make Mr. Sun Yat-sen the leader of the future coalition government." Wang Ming was straightforward, and in a few words, he explained the plans of the CCP and the Communist International.Then she quietly looked at Luo Yaoguo, waiting for his answer.

"Defend the Soviet Union?" Luo Yaoguo smiled heavily, and waved his hands: "This proposition has no possibility of being passed by the Central Committee of our party, especially... now that the incident of the Middle East Road has happened again."

Hearing this, Chen Duxiu glanced at Wang Ming and Hu Xun with a half-smile.It seems to be telling them that this matter is not going to happen at all, I knew it a long time ago...

But not long after he was complacent, Luo Yaoguo's voice sounded again: "Actually, the Feng faction is just a puppet in front of the incident in the Middle East. The real mastermind behind the scenes is Japanese imperialism! So your party now Separately proposing to defend the Soviet Union without mentioning who it is against... This can easily lead to misunderstanding. We Chinese people are not so naive as to believe that a poor and weak China can attack the Soviet Union, so they will definitely think that it is yours For the red ruble, the two parties acted as internal agents of the Soviet Union and wanted to betray the country. Of course, your party is not afraid. You still have agrarian revolution and class struggle, and your mass base is stronger than ours. But our party is different Well, the current Three People's Principles of our party, in fact, let everyone see only the national revolution, if even this is abandoned, I am afraid..."

"...If the Communist International and your party can add an anti-Japanese imperialism to the defense of the Soviet Union, there may be some room for this matter. After all, this incident was instigated by Japan. In fact, it was Japan's conspiracy to attack In the Soviet Union, Feng Factions are just their pawns."

After finishing his speech, Luo Yaoguo put on an extremely sincere smile and quietly waited for Wang Ming and others' reply.

"Oppose Japan, defend the Soviet Union." Chen Duxiu pondered these words over and over in his heart, always feeling that the other party must have no good intentions!Based on what he knew about the Kuomintang, no matter what pretensions they put in front of defending the Soviet Union, it was impossible for the Kuomintang to shout such slogans, even if it was to deceive the Soviet Union.But why did Luo Yaoguo put forward such a condition?He quietly glanced at the two complacent Bolsheviks beside him again, and said to himself, "Leave this to you, my old man is sitting on the bench anyway, just supporting the elderly. Besides, it is indeed easier to say this slogan accept……"

At this time, Wang Ming felt ecstatic in his heart. He and Hu Xun had analyzed the current situation in China on the way to Wuhan.Especially in the case of the three parties of the Kuomintang, the Communist Party of China, and the Communist Party of China. On the surface, it seems that the Kuomintang is now the most powerful.But this seemingly powerful Kuomintang is a bit sluggish, and its appeal to revolutionary youth is already very limited.Most of their Three People's Principles are things that are beneficial but not practical. Only one national righteousness seems to be held high by Sun Yat-sen... If the Kuomintang followed up with the idea of ​​defending the Soviet Union this time, it can be said that it will destroy its foundation.At that time, even if Sun Yat-sen entered Beijing and let Sun Yat-sen go back to the central government, as long as he passed away, the Kuomintang, which had lost its foundation, would not be able to sustain itself with a few old veterans who were depressed and a few young men who were still somewhat motivated.And the Youth Party will be wiped out in the second Northern Expedition of the Kuomintang, and the future of China will be a sea of ​​red flags!

"Okay!" Thinking of this, Comrade Wang Ming stopped hesitating and agreed without hesitation. He smiled: "I can propose this condition to the Communist International and the Party Central Committee, and I hope that General Luo will not lose faith in our party and the Communist International! I believe that as long as your party can adhere to the three major policies of uniting Russia and the Communist Party, the day when the blue sky and white sun flag will be planted on the top of Beijing will not be far away."

……

"Enlai, what do you think of the conditions proposed by Luo Yaoguo?"

On the city wall of Datong City in winter, two CCP gods wrapped in heavy military coats walked slowly.The fighting in Shanxi has calmed down recently. After more than two months of fierce fighting, both sides are somewhat exhausted. Taking advantage of this cold winter month, it is just time to take a break.Therefore, Mao Zedong, the leader of the Red Front Army, also had time to stay in Datong, take a walk and chat with Zhou Enlai.

Zhou Enlai smiled faintly, and shook his head: "What do you need to say? There must be a ghost here, and it must be a trap. It's just... I don't know who it is for?"

Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai looked at each other, and they both smiled at the same time.Adding opposition to Japan before defending the Soviet Union is definitely beneficial to the CCP.At least it is much better than shouting to defend the Soviet Union alone. It sounds like it is opposing Japan to attack the Soviet Union, rather than supporting the Soviet Union to attack China!As for... what conspiracy is behind this, that is not what the CCP needs to worry about, because no matter how you look at it, this conspiracy has nothing to do with the CCP.

"Runzhi, just received the information from Xuan Xiafu that the [-]th Division of the Kuomintang has entered Xuchang, and has begun to replenish a large number of personnel and weapons and equipment. It seems... this army is likely to be in Fengsu They were transferred to the Northeast after the war broke out." Zhou Enlai's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something completely unrelated to him.

Mao Zedong also just smiled: "It is also possible that they are going north to attack Beijing...We can't make a judgment based on Xuan Xiafu's one-sided words, right? I think we should order him to try to obtain accurate information before reporting, so that we can also It’s better to report to the Communist International!”

Zhou Enlai just nodded, looked at the scenery of the northern country covered by a vast snow scene, and sighed softly: "When the spring begins, the revolutionary situation will probably become severe. The Soviet Union has rejected the National Government's proposal to buy the Middle East Road , and the Feng faction now refuses to return the Middle East Road, I am afraid that this war is inevitable. Fortunately, our party has added an anti-Japanese imperialism to the proposition of defending the Soviet Union, so it should be able to win the support of some people, right? "

Mao Zedong also nodded slightly: "It should be possible to win over some centrists. This is not what I am worried about now. The core foundation of our party is solid, with the support of tens of thousands of poor and lower-middle peasants. No matter what sewage the enemy throws at us , we can all be invincible! It’s just that...the bipartisan issue does not know where it will go? Will the Communist International instruct us to launch an armed uprising in the south?”

Zhou Enlai was stunned, silent for a while, and smiled lightly: "Instructions... definitely will. But how do we go about the uprising? We don't have any armed forces in the south, and most of the people who are stationed in the Kuomintang army are of low status. Gao, they don’t have much power either. And some of them were sent by Luo Yaoguo to the Northeast some time ago to impersonate us and carry out an uprising.”

Hearing this, Mao Zedong really couldn't laugh or cry.Now the Soviets still think that the situation in the Northeast revolution is very good. Although the Suihua Soviet Area was captured by the enemy and the Red Army had some difficulties, there was a Red Army in the Daxinganling area that developed rapidly and smashed the enemy's encirclement and suppression. Countless... Comrade Stalin also sent a telegram to commend the leader of the Red Army in the Great Khingan Mountains. It is said that Comrade Wang Zhongyi was from the working class, and he also meant to promote him to the Central Committee.Moreover, the identity of this Wang Zhongyi has been confirmed by the two idiots Wang Ming and Hu Xun...

"It seems that these two real Bolsheviks are also honest children! Or let them continue to stay in the south as special commissioners? If there is any uprising... let them go?" Mao Zedong turned his head and looked at it with a smile With Zhou Enlai.

Zhou Enlai seemed to have thought of something suddenly, patted his thigh, and said with a smile: "We still have an army in the south that can exert influence. Runzhi, do you still remember Liu Wenhui, a Daoist of Duobao in Sichuan? He is now dispatched by Luo Yaoguo In the mountains beside the river, maybe it can be used.”

Mao Zedong was slightly taken aback, and frowned: "Enlai means to let Liu Wenhui launch an uprising on the edge of Sichuan? Can he...can he agree? Besides, wouldn't the two parties openly fight in this way?"

Zhou Enlai shook his head with a smile, and glanced at Mao Zedong: "Runzhi also thinks it's time to turn against the Kuomintang? It doesn't matter. Liu Wenhui and Luo Yaoguo seem to have been plotting to seize Tibet, and they started preparations the year before last. And In order not to stimulate the nerves of the British, the Kuomintang wanted to do this in some other name. We just took advantage of this opportunity to complete the mission of the Communist International... Anyway, the uprising happened, and the troops entered Tibet It’s not bad to open up a base, right?”

Chapter 0312 Going North to Anti-Russia ([-])

It is now March of the 16th year of the Republic of China, which is March of [-] according to the Gregorian calendar.Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the incident on the Middle East Road has happened for more than two months.

In these days, a lot of big things happened.The negotiations between China and the Soviet Union finally broke down without any suspense, and both sides began intensive preparations for war.

Wang Jingwei, who had a bad nose in Beijing, did not return to Wuhan, but went to Zhengzhou.He accused the Soviet Union of being despicable and shameless every day in front of Liao Zhongkai, Deng Yanda and a group of big leftists, which made Xuan Xiafu, Li Zhilong and Liu Bojian play debate matches with him all day long.

At the end of February, the CCP sent another great man in history, Comrade Liu Shaoqi, to the Northeast to serve as the secretary of the CCP’s Manchuria Provincial Committee, responsible for the CCP’s underground work in the Northeast.He also conveyed the letter of instruction from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to the Northeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China, pointing out that the incident on the Middle East Road was not a single action by Zhang Zuolin or the Feng faction warlords, but their joint action under the command of imperialism; The Middle East Railway was handed over to the Beiyang government under the control of the Feng faction alone as the base of the imperialist anti-Soviet war: the so-called withdrawal of the Middle East Railway by the Feng faction warlords is to deceive the masses, and the real intention is to use the Middle East Road incident to cover up their actions of betraying national interests , in order to divert the attention of the masses and lead them to the anti-Soviet road.

On March 40, the Executive Committee of the Communist International issued the "Statement on the Middle East Railway Incident", putting forward the slogan of fighting to defend the Soviet Union, and calling on the masses of Chinese workers to form a close brotherly alliance with the Soviet proletariat to fight against Japanese imperialism and China. , The revolutionary struggle of the Russian White Guard elements.Then, according to the call from the Communist International, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued Circular No.[-] No. [-], emphasizing: "Opposing Japanese imperialism and warlords to attack the Soviet Union, and preparing to defend the Soviet Union with armed forces is the central slogan of our mobilization of the masses." The slogan "oppose Japanese imperialism, support the Soviet Union with arms" was vigorously promoted throughout the country, and at the same time demanded that the Kuomintang take similar actions...

After the Kuomintang hesitated for several days regarding the demands of the CCP and the Comintern.Sun Yat-sen personally came forward and delivered a public speech, declaring: "The idea of ​​uniting with Russia and allowing the Communist Party refers to uniting with true Russian revolutionaries who are willing to treat me as equals and give up all special interests in China. It is not about unprincipled uniting and betraying Lenin. The revolution stands for the reactionary Russia that has returned to the road of tsarist aggression and expansion! The conflict on the Middle East Road this time is in China's territory anyway, and the sovereignty that belongs to China is taken back. And the reactionary Russia uses the Chinese government'reactionary' as an excuse The practice of occupying China's territorial sovereignty is worse than the open aggression and expansion of Tsarist Russia..."

"...Here, on behalf of the Nationalist Government, the Kuomintang, and the [-] million compatriots in southern China, I appeal to all factions across the country to put aside all grievances and grievances, stop all civil wars, and form a patriotic united front against the Soviet Union. .Resist the invasion of reactionary Soviet Russia to the end, and never compromise!"

"...For the Chinese Communists who believe in Marxism, our party still respects their political beliefs, admires their ideal of saving the country, and is willing to work together with them to save the country from disaster. I just hope that they can recognize the true face of reactionary Soviet Russia as soon as possible. Bewitched by its hypocritical revolutionary mask..."

Following Sun Yat-sen's speech, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which lasted for several years, finally came to an end silently because of the war on the Middle East Road.It's just that the two sides did not have a bloody conflict as in history, or even fought, and said "goodbye" kindly.Maybe it's because Sun Yat-sen, the great god, has too much prestige now, or maybe Sun Yat-sen is still willing to continue to "link with the Communist Party", but he just doesn't want to "link with Russia".The CCP's response was rather calm, but it issued a statement full of regret and regret.It seems that this is a pair of lovers who are deeply in love. Because of the intervention of the husband and mother-in-law of the Communist International and the Soviet Union, they reluctantly broke up... Maybe there will be a day of reunion in the future?

Anti-Soviet Patriotic United Front!This term comes from the mouth of Sun Yat-sen, so it naturally represents truth and justice.At least this is the case for most Chinese in this time and space.

Therefore, Zhang Dashuai, who lives in Beijing Zhongnanhai these days, is also in a much better mood.

Once Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang’s anti-Soviet patriotic united front came out, it was tantamount to affirming that his current “anti-Soviet” was patriotic, not “traitorous” as some people exposed.And following Sun Yat-sen's statement, those Chinese warlords and politicians who were usually intriguing almost changed their tune almost overnight, knowing that they should love the country... love the central government.

The first person to respond was Wu Peifu, the leader of the direct lineage living in Shanxi. Marshal Wu said that he would select 36 "special elite" troops from his [-] "elites" to form a new third division to participate in the Anti-Russian War.Yan Xishan, a rich man in Shanxi, took out arms worth several million yuan at once, and replaced the entire third division with brand new ordnance and military uniforms.The third division was also equipped with an artillery regiment equipped with [-] civilian [-]-style mountain cannons.Another large sum of military pay was sent, and then Wu Peifu and Wu Peifu bid farewell to each other at Taiyuan Railway Station, and sent the third division singing the military song "Looking North at Manchuria" to the train going north.

Then the Kuomintang center in the south also expressed that it would send a huge reinforcement including an infantry division, 24 cannons, [-] tanks, and [-] aircraft to the north to assist the Feng Faction in resisting Russia.In addition, there is also a staff group with Luogan German military advisers also arriving together, and the head of this staff group is Luo Yaoguo, the "famous general" of the Kuomintang.The Kuomintang is also willing to send reinforcements, which is of course very good.But this is a cannon, an airplane, a tank, and a German military adviser!Isn't the KMT a bit too powerful now?Now their heavy industry plan seems to have just started, right?

Zhang Zuolin, father and son, plus Yang Yuting and Zeng Qi, two think tanks, received a telegram from the Wuhan Nationalist Government early this morning, and hid in Zhang Zuolin's study for a secret conversation...

A few cups of fragrant tea exude a rich fragrance.Zhang's father and son are all in loose casual clothes today, sitting on the chairs leisurely and contentedly, with cheerful expressions on their faces.

General Zhang held a copy of the telegram that had just been sent over in his hand, and said in a voice that could not hide his smile: "It's all right this time, Sun Dapao issued a statement to support us, Wu Ziyu also asked for the Eastern Expedition, and the Kuomintang returned it." We sent an elite division, you see, there are more than 24 heavy artillery pieces alone! There are also [-] tanks and [-] aircraft! Hehe, Dapao Sun is very loyal at the critical moment! Hehe, It's a good thing he didn't go with the Communist Party to defend the Soviet Union, otherwise we, father and son, monarchs and ministers would have ended up in the end. Now that there are so many reinforcements, this battle in the Middle East...do we have a chance of winning?"

"Congratulations, Marshal!" As soon as Zhang Zuolin finished speaking, Zeng Qi hurriedly stood up to congratulate him. He didn't know anything about wars, but the current situation of the whole country's support was still very clear.At least their youth party is now in the Northland, and it has won the debate with the Communist Party.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Zhang Zuolin waved his hands with a smile, motioning him to sit down, and said with a smile, "Brother Mu Han has done a lot this time. As soon as I see you, I will ask you to be the Prime Minister of the State. This matter of raising food and salaries for the army." , no problem, right?" When it came to food and pay, Zhang Zuolin's tone had softened slightly, after all, once the battle broke out, the money spent was like running water.

"Please don't worry, Commander. This is a national war. Not only are all factions in China supporting us, but overseas Chinese are also generously donating money. Now the overseas party headquarters of the Kuomintang and Zhigong Party are helping us raise our wages. As of yesterday, there were no less than tens of millions of silver dollars, and the national government also sent 3000 million yuan in military expenses to the central government... Right now our Feng Department’s account is loose and tight, enough to cover the military expenses this time.” Zeng Qi Qi presented treasures to the outsiders with good news, which made Zhang's father and son all smiles, as if this victory was already in sight.

Zhang Zuolin smiled and nodded at Zeng Qi.Turning around to look at his son Zhang Xueliang, he said solemnly: "Little Six, you are still in command this time. If this battle is won... from now on, I will not be here, and this Northeast is still yours! And this battle We sent troops together with the Kuomintang and Wu Ziyu, and the whole world is watching! Who is a hero and who is a coward, we all have to see the truth on the battlefield! Then Wu Ziyu is fine, it is almost the curtain call. But the Kuomintang Back to the best of the best! There are planes, tanks, and so many heavy artillery. I heard that there are many German military advisers... I am afraid they will compete with us for the limelight. Once the battle is over, our fate should be over when the battle is over."

Zhang Zuolin talked a lot, basically meaning that Feng Jun and Zhang Xueliang must perform well in this battle.After a good performance, succession will be a matter of course, and a poor performance... At that time, the people of the whole country will be the laughing stock of the people.In case Fengjun is ashamed and the Kuomintang shines brightly, then the surname of China in the future will be Sun.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief." Zhang Xueliang smiled indifferently, and waved his hands: "This time the Kuomintang has less than [-] soldiers! How could it be possible to take the lead? We have [-] or [-] troops outside the pass, and of course we are the ones who are in the limelight." When the time comes, let the brethren fight a good national war, once this prestige comes out... Let's see who dares to bully us in the future!"

Hearing this, Yang Yuting next to him frowned slightly, and said in his heart, "This is a war! How can we consider getting the limelight? The Soviet Union is much stronger than us. If you don't lose this battle, you will win it... I want to Winning beautifully, how is this possible!"

Probably because he saw Yang Yuting frowning on the side.Zhang Zuolin nodded with a smile: "If you have anything to do with Lin Ge, just speak up, there are no outsiders here."

Yang Yuting hesitated again and again, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "Commander, the First World War on the Middle East Road is a matter of my life and death... It is necessary to use a general to command the overall situation, at least a general to assist the young marshal. I think the Kuomintang We might as well use the staff team sent by the side. This Luo Fuwen has not been defeated in the battle for a long time in these years, and there are many German advisers in their staff team who also participated in the First World War and are very good at fighting. !"
