Chapter 0326 The Japanese-Soviet War ([-]) Three Kingdoms

In the living room of Songbei Daying, Luo Yaoguo and Song Meiling sat facing each other in front of the mahogany coffee table, while Xu Chongzhi huddled in the sofa next to him, squinting his eyes, motionless, and made no sound, as if he had integrated into the house .On the red clay stove at the side, blue flames flickered silently.A pot of new tea was hot on the stove, and the tea was fragrant, floating in the whole living room.

Song Meiling and Luo Yaoguo looked at each other and smiled slightly, raised the teacup, smelled the fragrance, blew on it lightly, and took a small sip when the tea was slightly cool.Gently putting down the teacup, Song Meiling said in a low voice: "Brother Fuwen, this time I came to Harbin with Brother Ruwei. In addition to learning about the war in Manchuria, I also want to coordinate with your uncle and nephew on the position of the Second National Congress of the Kuomintang. It's what Jieshi means, and it's also what Zhan Gong means."

Luo Yaoguo lightly handled the teacup and shook his head: "Madam Jiang, Yaoguo has been busy with military affairs recently, so he doesn't know much about the affairs of the party. I don't know how Madam Jiang and Mr. Ru plan to coordinate their positions together?"

Song Meiling smiled softly: "Fu Wen, you seem to have been not very concerned about party affairs, which is not good. Now the political training in southern China is actually taking the way of governing the country by the party, although it is said that the country is governed by the party's principles rather than by party members. , but the role of the party is still very large in practice. If the party is controlled by those with ulterior motives, it will pose a very serious threat to the prime minister's proposition and the interests of all factions."

"Although there are rightists and centrists in my party, we are all on the same boat. If this boat sinks, both factions will be drowned. And those people are now on several boats, I have territory and an army, and the CCP is like glue, and the relationship with the Beijing government is unclear... Now I want to join the boat of our national government, and I want to get two vice-chairmen in the future center! And I also want to ask for a few additional seats on the Central Committee Standing Committee and the Military Commission.”

Soong Meiling was talking about the upcoming Second National Congress of the Kuomintang. This meeting is naturally another reshuffle of power among the various factions within the Kuomintang.The leftists who were eliminated from the KMT's first major middle school last time have now united with Feng Yuxiang, sitting on an army of 20 and the territory of Henan and Shaanxi, and will make a comeback to compete for the power of the center.The demands put forward by the leftists were that Liao Zhongkai and Feng Yuxiang should serve as the vice-chairmen of the KMT, join the presidium, and concurrently serve as members of the Military Commission. In addition, Deng Yanda and Hu Jingyi should also enter the Military Commission and serve as members of the Central Standing Committee.In other words, they wanted to go to the two vice-chairmen and the four members of the Military Commission as soon as they opened their mouths!This asking price is really difficult for the rightists and centrists who control the center of the Kuomintang to accept.

Luo Yaoguo shook his head slightly: "They set the price on the ground, so we won't counter the price? One vice chairman and two members of the Military Commission should be acceptable, right? This seems to be what my uncle meant... Everyone is a member of the Kuomintang, why bother? Why is it so stiff? Besides... they now control Henan's rich coal reserves, which are also very important for our development of heavy industry."

Xu Chongzhi, who was squinting at the side, suddenly broke the silence and sneered: "This is before the great victory in Manzhouli! Can their 20 troops be worth 100 Soviet Red Army? Let us have a division of 20 Soviet Red Army Add dozens of tanks and more than 20 cannons, and it will be wiped out in a few hours! How can their [-] army have the right to bargain with us? What Jieshi and I mean is that they want a vice chairman and two It’s not impossible for members of the Military Commission, but their [-] troops and territory must be handed over to our party for unified leadership! Political training should be reorganized and political training should be reorganized, and our party’s center must not allow warlords to exist now!”

Luo Yaoguo's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Xu Chongzhi and Song Meiling. It seemed that this time the center and right sides of the Kuomintang wanted to join hands to protect their own interests, and even wanted to annex the leftists in one fell swoop with the prestige of the Manchuria victory, and re-complete the Kuomintang. Unity and integration!But being able to do this seems to be beneficial to one's own deployment.

"I understand what you two mean. Now is indeed a good opportunity to complete the integration of our party and unify military orders and government orders. Now that the war in the Northeast is stagnant, I just took the time to go to Zhengzhou and have a good talk with Liao Gong and General Deng Zesheng. But... this time I don't agree with the use of force whether the matter is successful or not. At that time, we will jointly write a letter to the Prime Minister to prevent them from entering the center. In addition... Liao Gong and General Zesheng may be able to persuade Feng Huanzhang to hand over the army. I'm dead. My idea is that Mr. Liao will be the vice-chairman, General Zesheng will enter the Army Committee, and Hu Jingyi will be the chairman of Henan Province. I don't know what the two agree?"

Song Meiling and Xu Chongzhi looked at each other, then nodded at the same time, agreeing to Luo Yaoguo's proposal.It is just to integrate the leftists, keep Feng Yuxiang out, and let him fend for himself.

……

Lushun, in the living room of the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

The person who yelled at the door of the living room turned out to be Ishihara Waner.At this time, he had recovered his calm and composed attitude of a wise general, sitting in front of the three generals, and was eloquently explaining his so-called strategy to them.

"...The biggest mistake Japan made in China's strategy was to allow the "Guangzhou Secret Treaty"! This "Secret Treaty" gave half of China a chance to breathe, and gave them the opportunity to integrate half of the country's human and material resources and attract overseas China. The capital of the wealthy merchants returned, and they also started their heavy industry construction. The Battle of Manchuria this time was a harbinger of the rise of half of China! Since the Nissin War, we in Japan have really underestimated China! We actually forgot, even if it is The population, land resources, and wealth of half of China are far greater than those of the empire! The rise of half of China will be enough to shatter the empire's continental dream!"

Hearing this, Rihachiro Sakanishi smiled awkwardly, and tried his best to calm down his voice: "Ishihara-kun means... Is it impossible for us to conquer China now? Could it be that the empire missed the stand in just over two years?" Is the top of Asia a chance to become a first-class power?"

Ishihara smiled reluctantly, and shook his head slightly: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, is half right. It is indeed impossible for the empire to conquer the entire China now! Now the National Government of the Southern Branch has shown their ruling and military capabilities... ...They have successfully restored stability to half of China, and have started an ambitious heavy industry plan. In the past few days, the world has seen the strength of their army. Against such an opponent, there is really no way to rely on the strength of Japan alone If you conquer, how can you talk about conquering?"

"...But the empire still has a chance to become a world-class power right now, but that requires more outstanding strategic arrangements, and it must not be reckless! Fortunately, after the Battle of Manchuria, the pattern of East Asia has completely changed. It is no longer the Soviet Union and Japan. China was seized, but the Soviet Union, Japan, and China were fighting for hegemony. Although the Soviet Union now mistakenly believes that the Battle of Manchuria was the work of the empire, but with their intelligence capabilities and penetration of China, they should be able to figure out the whole story soon. Japan and the Soviet Union will consider joining hands to establish a branch in Gua.”

Nobuyoshi Muto looked at the eloquent junior in front of him, smiled and nodded.He was strongly opposed to the Japanese-Soviet proposal to carve up China before, but after the First World War in Manchuria, facing a China that had already begun to rise, it was obviously unrealistic to monopolize it, and carve-up was the only way out!Just how to divide it?

"Ishihara-kun, do you think the empire should get the territory in China? What territory should be given to the Soviet Union to make them satisfied?"

Ishihara Waner bent slightly towards General Muto, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the empire only needs to get Manchuria, and the rest of China is handed over to the Soviet Union. As for whether the Soviet Union will directly annex or support a puppet state, or Supporting the communist regime, the empire will not ask."

"So...is the income of the empire too small?" Matsui Iwane couldn't help interjecting.

Ishihara smiled and shook his head: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, the empire can get more than 120 million square kilometers of Manchuria, which is rich in fertile land and resources. How can it be said that it is too little? Right now, the empire's homeland plus North Korea and Taiwan is only a big territory." Besides, the empire handed over all China except Manchuria to Soviet Russia to conquer, and at the same time, didn’t it also hand over all kinds of troubles including the National Government of South China to the Soviet Union? There is no Soviet Union to fight with the South China How can we develop in Manchuria with peace of mind when the national government struggles? If we can’t develop Manchuria with peace of mind and turn Manchuria’s resources and land into the nourishment for the development of the empire, how can the empire have the national power to become a first-class power?”

The three Japanese generals in the room were silent for a while and exchanged glances with each other.Regarding Ishihara Waner's method, to be honest, the three of them felt a little bit unwilling!But right now there is no other way.Now Su Rizhong really looks like the Three Kingdoms are fighting for hegemony. Although China is weak, it is still qualified to play the master now.We can no longer treat others as dishes, but...if the Soviet Union really conquered China, would the Japanese family be able to withstand the Soviet Union?Don't turn Japan into a Soviet republic at that time, right?

Nobuyoshi Muto frowned, shook his head slightly, and said, "Ishihara-kun, if the empire allows the Soviet Union to annex or redact China, then when the Soviet Union successfully conquers China... the empire will face an unimaginable behemoth! Will we be able to resist it with the strength of our empire?"

Ishihara smiled deeply and waved his hands: "Now the relationship between the three countries of Su, Rizhi is like the Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony in Chinese history. Even if Soochow killed Guan Yu and annexed Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han had to form an alliance with Soochow Come and fight against Cao Wei! If the Southern Branch is at a disadvantage in the struggle with the Soviet Union, then they have to give up their demands on Manchuria and seek our support... In this way, the empire can let the two tigers of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union fight against each other. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight!"

"But...will the Soviet Union be willing to join forces with the Empire?" Nobuyoshi Muto shook his head hesitantly.

"Yes!" Ishihara nodded heavily: "Without this victory in Manchuria, the Soviet Union would only regard Japan as the biggest threat to their Far East territory. But now they will have to face a rising China! The Soviet Union declared that Those who want to give up the territory that Tsarist Russia plundered from China! They also promised to withdraw their troops from Mongolia! If they don’t join forces with the empire, I’m afraid that in the near future, a powerful and unified China will demand them to fulfill their promise!”

……

Zhang Zuolin also felt something was wrong now!When the old man heard the news of the great victory in Manzhouli and the annihilation of the Soviet and Russian troops, he was very happy.Now not only the son is saved, but also the land and the army are saved, and the signed traitorous agreement can also be justifiably voided.Even their Zhang family father and son can pick up a national hero's hat for free!

But within a few days of being happy, the short and dark Prime Minister Zeng Qi ran into the Zhongnanhai Jurentang.A basin of icy cold ice water was directly poured down, so that Mr. Zhang is now exhausted inside and out, and there is no heating at all.

"Marshal, China right now is dominated by us, the Kuomintang, and the Communist Party... It's like the situation in the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty. The Kuomintang is Cao Wei, who controls half of the country, and Sun Yat-sen's big banner! And the victory in Manchuria this time The results have shown that their military strength is far stronger than ours! One division plus dozens of tanks and more than 100 cannons can wipe out [-] Russians in a few hours! This kind of combat power is beyond our imagination. Yes! If they use [-] divisions, [-] cannons, and [-] chariots to press down from the edge of the Yellow River, our Beijing city and the Northeast will probably all have the surname Sun? "Even Japan dare not interfere."

Every word of Zeng Qi's words seemed like a seven-inch long iron nail, nailed into Zhang Zuolin's heart alive.At this moment, Old General Zhang seems to have seen thousands of chariots roaring and rolling away, and hundreds of thousands of extremely elite National Revolutionary Army followed behind with various weapons, heading towards Beijing like a tide. Ju Rentang, rushing to the northeast, to his Fengtian Marshal's Mansion!

"Marshal... Now we have to protect ourselves, and we have to find a way to unite with the Communist Party!" Zeng Qi gritted his teeth with a livid face, and rushed out these words from the bottom like chewing steel and iron.Their youth party has always advertised anti-communism and anti-Russia, but now he, the leader of the party, has proposed to unite with the Communist Party.

Zhang Zuolin sat slumped on the sofa with his head down, didn't say a word, and didn't seem to hear Zeng Qi's proposal, but his face turned paler.

Zeng Qi glanced at Zhang Zuolin, whose face was pale, and sighed deeply: "We are now like Sun Wu, and the Communist Party is Uncle Liu. If we fight with the Communist Party again, let the Kuomintang regenerate in the south. It will not take a few years." ...they should take the knife on us when they are well-raised!"

Hearing the word "surgery", the muscles on Zhang Zuolin's face suddenly twitched, his eyebrows were furrowed tightly, but he still didn't say a word and refused to let go.

But Zeng Qi continued talking on his own: "If we want to resist the Kuomintang's future Northern Expedition, we must hurry up to start heavy industry, reorganize the army, strengthen training, and train strong soldiers. And this The prerequisites for everything are, first, tariff independence. The second is social stability. Only with tariff independence and social stability can we have the opportunity to rectify our finances. Only after we have rectified our finances can we have money to develop heavy industry and train our troops! Otherwise, we and the CCP will cooperate with each other like now. Fighting back and forth...Where is the money to develop heavy industry? Finally, some taxes were collected, all of which were spent on suppressing bandits. This army can only be maintained alive, and it is impossible to rectify training. What should I do!"

The muscles on Zhang Zuolin's face loosened, and he changed into a contemplative expression, and said to himself in an inaudible way: "These communist parties are too troublesome...the tax revenue on our land is getting less and less every day, and every day is getting bigger and bigger. More than a day. After going on like this for five years, we should be pushed away after the construction of the house is completed! But... how can the Communist Party agree to unite with us? They want to kill all the local tyrants and evil gentry. The Zhang family is the head of the local tyrants and evil gentry!"

Zeng Qi pricked up his ears and listened to Zhang Zuolin's word for word, with a confident smile on his face: "Marshal, how can such a slogan be taken seriously? Didn't the Kuomintang ever shout the slogan of uniting Russia? Manchuria is much more ruthless than us in fighting the Russian invaders! Now the Soviet Union has not figured out who fought the victory in Manchuria for a while, and thought it was Japan. If they knew it was fought by the Kuomintang, they would also instruct the CCP to fight against us Is it? It must be to let them go to the south to start a revolution with the Kuomintang, so that there is room for us to reconcile with the CCP. Besides... we can still talk to the Soviet Union like this, if they don’t let the CCP cease fire with us, we have nowhere to go Go vote for the Kuomintang! By then, the Kuomintang will not be half of China, but the whole of China! In this way, there will be no safe life in the backyard of the Soviet Union in the future!"

Zhang Zuolin sighed softly, stood up with the backrest of the sofa, and paced in the living room with his hands behind his back.Thinking about Zeng Qi's idea in his heart, to cease war with the Communist Party... that's good, and it's time for the Feng Faction to take a breather. They haven't had a good rest after entering the customs all these years.Right now, the Feng Department's finances are bankrupt, and it will take time to sort them out.There is also heavy industry. The Fengtian Armory should also import some machinery and equipment. The chariot is very powerful according to Xiaoliuzi... Half of the Kuomintang's victory this time depends on them. It seems that they have to find a way to import a batch from France. ...This is all about money.There is also tariff independence... This matter is not easy to handle. I am afraid that the Japanese will not agree to it?Maybe we have to rely on the power of the Soviet Union... I just don't know how high the asking price of the Soviet Union is.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zuolin's frowning eyebrows gradually loosened, and he waved his hand at Zeng Qi: "You can find a way to get in touch with the CCP, as long as they are willing to withdraw from Shanxi...we also withdraw from Suiyuan and Northern Shaanxi, The two armies went on strike and a truce. As for the Red Army in the Northeast... They are required to stay in their current territory, and we will not go to encircle and suppress them, so let’s keep the water in the water!”

Chapter 0327 The Japanese-Soviet War ([-]) Shocking Changes

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed Pagoda Mountain red, and the majestic pagoda was reflected on the winding Yanhe River.This is Yan'an, the red capital of the Communist Party of China, a sacred place that countless revolutionary youth yearn for (those who don't yearn for it are not revolutionary youth).During this period of time, Wangjialing, where the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was stationed, seemed a little deserted. Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhang Guotao, Cai Hesen, Li Dazhao, and other important leading members of the party were not here during this period of time. International jobs go.Only three Politburo members, Qu Qiubai, Li Lisan and Xiang Ying, remained behind.

Today, none of these three leading comrades went to the central office to handle government affairs.Instead, they gathered in Qu Qiubai's cave, holding a copy of the urgent telegram sent by the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and passed each other to read carefully.I started watching it early in the morning and saw the afterglow of the setting sun spilling in from the window.

It was very quiet inside the cave, only the whistling sound of paper passing was heard.

In the end, it was Qu Qiubai who shook his hand and put the telegram copy on the table.After hesitating for a moment, he sighed deeply: "Comrades from the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee have made a clear investigation... The Japanese army did not participate in the battle on April [-]... The third offensive and defensive battle of Zhalai Nuoer defeated the great The Red Army of the Soviet Union is actually the army of the Kuomintang!"

"...But how did they win? The Soviet Red Army is the most powerful in the world. They defeated the intervention army of the foreign powers... and now they are defeated by the army of the Kuomintang reactionaries! This kind of thing... How should we report to the Communist International? Right now, Comrade Stalin has given the highest instruction, pointing out that the Soviet Red Army was defeated by the despicable and shameless sneak attack of Japanese imperialism... Will it be harmful if we report this situation? What about the prestige of Comrade Stalin? But if you don’t report it, wouldn’t you be defrauding the organization?”

After hearing Qu Qiubai's speech, which seemed to be talking to himself, the faces of Li Lisan and Xiang Ying also changed slightly. This kind of thing is really difficult... It's fine if you don't know, but now the Manchuria Provincial Committee has reported it.How could they not report to the Comintern?

As for how Comrade Stalin reacted, it was left to fate.And now the Soviet Union and Japan are already at war over this misunderstanding, and they might be fighting in a daze.Things will always come to light in the future, so it won’t be the CCP’s responsibility by then?Does a big hat of nationalism still have to go?

"Comrade Qiubai, this matter must be reported to the Communist International immediately. And...we still need to see the problems behind this matter!"

It was Li Lisan who said this. Now his face was ashen-black, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had discovered some serious problem.

Qu Qiubai nodded lightly, as if agreeing to immediately report the situation investigated by the Manchuria Provincial Committee.Then he stared at Li Lisan with wide eyes, as if waiting for him to talk about the problem behind the matter.

Li Lisan took a deep breath, stood up and took a few steps in the cave, before sighing again: "Our party and the Communist International have always underestimated the power of the Kuomintang in the past, thinking that they were nothing more than a group of weak petty bourgeois intellectuals. The political party formed has no fighting power at all. The first battle of Zhalai Nuoer has shown that this judgment is completely wrong! Compared with a few years ago, the Kuomintang has undergone earth-shaking changes! In fact, this change has long been in the It has been carried out silently, but we have not paid enough attention to the work in the south and completely ignored the changes in the Kuomintang."

"...In the past few years, the Kuomintang's rule in the south has been rapidly stabilized, and it took advantage of the 14th year of the Republic of China to take back part of its sovereignty from the powers, so that it has the strength to implement the reactionary policy of supporting the plutocrats. Moreover, they have spared no effort to attract overseas Chinese businessmen. The capital returned to China for investment. In the past two years, a large number of large industrial and commercial groups with the nature of a monopoly consortium have been rapidly born in southern China, including their top ten banks, railway companies, steel companies, mining companies and even arms companies. Now they have a lot of big assets Class participation... So now the Kuomintang has transformed from a weak petty bourgeois party to a strong party representing the interests of the monopoly bourgeoisie, and has shown extremely strong expansion and belligerence! This time they sent troops to intervene The Battle of the Middle East Road was a manifestation of this kind of expansion and belligerence. I dare to assert that under the rule of the Kuomintang, South China will follow in the footsteps of the imperialist powers and embark on the development path of aggression and expansion. It is determined by the subjective will of Sun Yat-sen or Chiang Kai-shek, but by the nature of capitalism! It is determined by the economic foundation of southern China! Our party must pay enough attention to this point and be ready to fight it firmly. struggle!"

Xiang Ying, who was on the side, smiled heavily, and shook his hands and said: "How is this possible? How could southern China become an imperialist country? They don't even have the power to unify China, so why should they be imperialists? There is no country in this world that can be unified." Imperialism?"

Li Lisan remained expressionless, and retorted coldly: "Why not? Isn't Prussia a living example? Didn't this state belonging to the Holy Roman Empire participate in the partition of Poland before they unified Germany? Now South China is very It may be a rising Prussia! We must pay enough attention to this, and we should also remind the Communist International to pay attention! We Chinese Communists will never allow foreign imperialism to come back to oppress it The working class and working people!"

……

Luo Yaoguo's special train slowly drove into Zhengzhou Railway Station. KMT leftist leaders Liao Zhongkai and Wang Jingwei, Shaanxi governor and commander-in-chief of the National Coalition Army Feng Yuxiang, Henan governor and commander of the National Second Army Hu Jingyi, Henan supervisor and deputy commander of the National Second Army Deng Yanda , CCP representatives Xuan Xiafu, Li Zhilong and others went to the station to greet him.
