Republic of China game

……

This Luo Fuwen has also returned to Wuhan now, and before he had time to go home, he went directly to Sun Yat-sen's official residence.Uh, all loyal ministers are like this.

Sun Yat-sen met Luo Yaoguo in the study of the Moshan mansion.Under the guidance of the guards, Luo Yaoguo appeared in front of Sun Yat-sen with a standard military posture, and gave a neat military salute, and then sat down respectfully under Sun Yat-sen's greeting.

"Fuwen, what do you think of the current Japanese-Soviet war? Is there any chance that Japan will win?" Sun Yat-sen didn't exchange pleasantries with Luo Yaoguo, and directly asked a question.Judging by his concerned expression, he must have been troubled by this problem for a long time.

Luo Yaoguo shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Japan won't win completely, and its loss will be a small loss at most. For us, these two great enemies will still stare at us, but it has been weakened a little, and it won't hurt too much. Angry."

Sun Yat-sen remained expressionless, and looked at Luo Yaoguo with peaceful eyes: "Many comrades in the party are now persuading me to use this opportunity to go north to attack Russia, take this opportunity to take back Mongolia, and take down Beijing along the way... What do you think?"

Although Sun Yat-sen could not hear any joy or anger in his tone, Luo Yaoguo knew that the old man was also a little tempted now.Not only for the recovery of Mongolia, but also for the top spot in Beijing.Although he is now China's No.1, isn't this name still not obtained?There is always some dissatisfaction.

Luo Yaoguo was silent for a while, thought for a while, and then shook his head: "Prime Minister, the ministry feels that under your leadership, the KMT has been able to develop so prosperously in the past few years. The most important thing is the word "steady". Slowly expand your power and never rush forward. Now it is a situation where there are two thirds of the world. If... a few more years of steady development, the Northern Expedition will be foolproof. As for Beijing City... it is actually just a common city. It’s just an ordinary city, and now as long as the prime minister is willing, they can completely let them give up the name of the central government without using a knife or a gun.”

"...Of course, it is easy for us to win Beijing now, but the problem still lies in the covetousness of Japan and the Soviet Union. When the ministry was in Harbin, it once proposed to Zhou Enlai of the CCP that the Northeast should be handed over to the CCP as a condition in exchange for the CCP's Guanzhong territory, and let them support the prime minister as president. But the result... the Communist International rejected this proposal. From this point, it can be basically confirmed that the Soviet Union has plans to carve up China with Japan, while the Northeast is to be left to the Japan's... Ministry of Staff estimates that Mongolia and the Northwest should be what the Soviet Union wants, and the Chinese principle wants us to kill each other with the Communist Party!"

"There are such things!" Sun Yat-sen's face showed a trace of solemnity.The Soviet Union's refusal to let the CCP get the Northeast is indeed a very bad signal.The incident on the Middle East Road this time has made Sun Yat-sen completely see the face of the Soviet Union, and the evil deed of joining forces with Japan to carve up China is indeed possible.

"Then how about we join forces with Japan? Is it possible to take advantage of this Japanese-Soviet war to severely damage the Soviet Union?" Sun Yat-sen raised another question, which is also a hot topic in the Kuomintang and southern China.

Luo Yaoguo shook his head with a smile: "Japan will not really join hands with us. Now our heavy industry is developing very rapidly. It is impossible for Japan not to know. If they know it, it is impossible not to be vigilant, especially this time in the great victory in Manchuria. The Revolutionary Army has performed well. Japan will not take it lightly. Both China and Japan are located in East Asia. It is completely impossible to accommodate two tigers. Japan and the Soviet Union are just a little misunderstanding... and we are life and death enemies! And how could they join forces with their life-and-death enemy against their potential ally, the Soviet Union?"

What Sun Yat-sen is most concerned about now is the long-term development of the Kuomintang. He was not very interested in these risky moves at first, but when Luo Yaoguo said it, he almost dispelled these thoughts.

"Fuwen, then tell me, what kind of attitude should we adopt in this Japanese-Soviet war? Should we continue to be neutral?"

Luo Yaoguo frowned, thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's not good to just be neutral...how about...let's act as a peacemaker? You come forward and invite Britain, the United States, France and the Netherlands to mediate the Japanese-Soviet war together, and at the same time Then propose a peace treaty jointly participated by the seven countries of China, Japan, the Soviet Union, Britain, the United States, France and the Netherlands. The country has the obligation to impose economic sanctions and embargoes on the country, and to provide assistance to the country that has been violated."

"Seven Kingdoms Treaty of Peace?" Sun Yat-sen was stunned for a moment, his mind turned quickly, thinking about this seemingly "use the barbarians to control the barbarians" strategy.

"Prime Minister, right now we have just achieved the great victory in Manchuria, defeated the Soviet Union... and there are signs of revival. We haven't fully utilized the benefits of this great victory." Luo Yaoguo snapped his fingers and settled the account for Sun Yat-sen again:

"In the past, China was a weak country, and we were almost waiting for the master of subjugation. But in this battle, we defeated the Soviet Union cleanly! Now that the power is still there, who dare not look at us? So now we have This is the qualification to unite with the column to emphasize the cessation of the Japanese-Soviet war.”

"...Britain, the United States, France, and the Netherlands all have large colonies in Asia, and their homeland is far away from these colonies, which is a bit beyond their reach. Now they are facing a China that is looming on the rise, an aggressive Japan, and a communism that spreads all over the world. The nationally liberated Soviet Union... They will definitely be wary. If the Prime Minister proposes such a seven-nation peace treaty now, it will guarantee their interests in the Asian colonies, and these four countries will definitely support it. What's more, these four countries are also in Europe right now. They are busy signing all kinds of peace treaties, which shows that they still believe in such black and white things, the prime minister might as well come forward and be such a good person.”

Sun Yat-sen nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.This seven-nation peace treaty was initiated by him and facilitated... This international reputation is incredible.Maybe he can get a Nobel Peace Prize... More importantly, the big powers will also support him to be the top leader of China because of this incident!

Luo Yaoguo smiled, and continued: "Right now, the Soviet Union should be able to agree to sign this peace treaty. Now that Stalin has suffered defeats, his confidence in the Soviet Red Army must have been greatly compromised...and he is also facing the domestic and the party. If you don’t make some achievements, I’m afraid you won’t be able to pass this level? Just based on this, he will strongly support the peace treaty, because after signing this treaty, he can claim a “diplomatic victory” and can be a good opponent to the domestic party. Nei said, 'The backyard of the Soviet Union has been secured, and the economy can be developed with peace of mind.' So the Ministry of Employment believes that the Soviet Union will respond, but this country does not keep its credibility very much, and it will probably go back on its word in a few years."

"...The Soviet Union has a vast territory and rich resources. Once it develops, it will not be afraid of any sanctions. But they will abide by it for a while. As for Japan... In fact, we proposed this seven-nation peace treaty to contain Japan with Anglo-American law. Japan It is a resource-poor island country, and the most fearful thing is foreign sanctions and blockades. And they are not strong enough now, as long as Britain, the United States and France support it, they will not dare to oppose it, otherwise they will be enemies of the whole world!"

"Great idea!" Sun Yat-sen was already full of joy at this time, he clapped his hands and smiled: "Fuwen is indeed the brains of our party! With this treaty, it is natural to admit that Mongolia is a part of China, at most... …It’s just to admit their autonomy. In this way, Mongolia can be regarded as taken back, and the country can be recovered without fighting, and it can be regarded as an account to the people of the country. Moreover, it can bind Japan’s hands and feet with a treaty, so that they dare not launch a war of aggression blatantly gone."

Luo Yaoguo nodded with a smile, and said again: "If this seven-nation peace treaty can succeed, the next step is to propose a reorganization of the coalition government... Invite the Zhang family from the Feng family, the Youth Party and the Communist Party, Duan Qi from Shandong Rui, Lu Yongxiang, and Yan Xishan from Shanxi participated together to discuss the formation of a national coalition government, and let the prime minister become the president to lead our China!"

Sun Yat-sen nodded in satisfaction, looking at Luo Yaoguo with joy in his eyes.To be honest, being president is really Sun Yat-sen's ideal... er, the ideal is lofty, right?In fact, those who perform on the current Chinese political stage have such lofty ideals.It was just that in the past, in order to fight for a good living environment for the Kuomintang after his death, Sun Yat-sen had to suppress this idea.But now the Kuomintang is already the largest political force in China, with territory in [-] provinces!Moreover, Sun Yat-sen also felt that his physical condition was not bad...except for a little high blood pressure, he was still healthy, and it seemed entirely possible that he would be president for a few years after he came out.

Chapter 0336 The Japanese-Soviet War ([-]) War and Peace

Japan, Tokyo.

After the good news of Vladivostok and Soviet Port, the city exploded.Various national service groups organized victory parades one after another.Tokyo's Rizhao Palace, which enshrines Aunt Amaterasu, and the Yasukuni Shrine in Kuduanzaka are even more crowded.Army and navy generals and senior government officials came one after another.Celebrate the blessings of the gods and worship the dead who died for their country.In the evening, the Kabukicho in Shinjuku was even more crowded with dignitaries from both the military and political circles holding a high-level banquet, cheering and celebrating the great victory.

Suggestions were put forward one by one, nothing more than the heroic invincibility of the army and navy, the fortress of Vladivostok is in ruins, the city of Khabarovsk is in ruins, and the Soviet Union has no spare power to resist.The empire can annex the entire Soviet Far East Primorsky Region and the North Island of Huatai Island (Sakhalin Island), and then consider whether to go west to Manchuria or go north to annex more Soviet territories.

But Yoshiichi Tanaka is far from being so optimistic, and he doesn't participate in such boring parties.He just stayed in the prime minister's office night and night, staring at the military map, waiting for any news from the front line.Frowning tightly, he thought about something silently.But tonight is an exception.Nagata Tieshan, who is known as the number one brain in the Japanese army, just arrived from the Vladivostok Dispatch Army Command in Hiroshima, and immediately came to see Tanaka Yoshiichi as soon as he got off the train.

Inside the prime minister's residence, in a small Japanese-style living room, Tanaka Yoshiichi and the dusty Nagata Tieshan sat cross-legged opposite each other.There were only a few simple Japanese dishes on a small table, and Nagata, who had no time to eat dinner after a long day of driving, ate with relish.

At this time, Tanaka Yoshiichi's brows were tightened even more.Just now, Nagata Tieshan told him that the call for expanding the war within the dispatched army has become louder and louder.Due to the smooth progress of the initial war, now both the generals on the front line and the staff in the headquarters of the dispatched army are optimistic about the prospects of the war, and they are extremely contemptuous of the behemoth of the Soviet Union.I even think that the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army is inferior to that of the Chinese army. No wonder they lost so ugly in Manchuria... With the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, one can fight ten!

Almost full, Nagata Tieshan put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and bowed his head to Tanaka, respectfully like a schoolboy: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, it is time to consider how to end the war. Taking advantage of the terrible Soviet Union The war machine isn't fully cranked yet...the Empire still has a chance at a decent victory."

Tanaka Yoshiichi snorted: "But how can the army and navy understand the government's difficulties? They are trying to expand the war now, and they can't wait to go to Moscow in one go. Even... Even His Majesty is the same! No one considered that the empire actually did not have the power to carry out long-term wars! No one considered how much oil the United Fleet would burn in a day. Shipped from the mainland! And China..."

Tanaka didn't go any further, Nagata Tieshan knew these things better than him.For this tasteless war that had to be fought, Japan's sluggish economy has now become even more depressed, and its small foreign exchange reserves are also being depleted at an accelerated rate.Since Japan and the Soviet Union have now declared war, freighters from Europe, the United States and other countries are now in accordance with the neutrality laws of their countries and can no longer transport goods and materials for Japan. For this reason, Japan's export market has shrunk greatly.However, strategic materials such as oil, steel, and grain had to be imported through gritting their teeth... What made Tanaka even more unacceptable was that the fast-growing light industry in southern China was happily accepting orders that originally belonged to Japanese companies!

"Your Excellency... It is necessary for us to draw a red line for military operations now." Nagata Tieshan hesitated for a moment, and then made a suggestion: "The humble office proposes to use Khabarovsk and the Amur River as the end of this war... At the same time, Vladivostok Don't occupy the fortress, just blow it into ruins. There is also the North Island of Huatai Island (Sakhalin Island)..."

Nagata looked up at Tanaka Yoshiichi, waiting for his decision.

……

Khabarovsk, a small city next to China and on the banks of the Amur River and the Ussuri River, is now attracting the attention of the whole world.In order to compete for the transportation hub on the Siberian Railway, the armies of Japan and the Soviet Union have already set up battle formations under the city of Khabarovsk and began to fight.The nearly 3 troops of the Japanese Second Division and Eighth Division, which landed in the Soviet port [-] kilometers away, have brought all the cannons and luggage to the city of Khabarovsk.On the Soviet side, there were two infantry divisions transferred from Vladivostok, as well as the artillery regiments and supply units of the two divisions that were sunk in Soviet Port, with a total strength of about [-].

The great leader of Moscow, after his rage at Yegorov's defiance of Vladivostok's defenses, now recognized the city's importance.

In the luxurious and exquisite office of the Kremlin, Stalin, smoking a pipe, was stepping on a thick plush carpet, standing in a daze in front of a huge military map.His brown eyes full of wisdom, which made all enemies tremble, were staring at the important town of Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk) on the Amur River.A battle that is likely to determine the outcome of this war has now begun there!

"Comrade Voroshilov, do you think we can win the Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk) battle?" Stalin looked back at Voroshilov who was standing by.

Voroshilov looks a little haggard now. As the chairman of the Soviet Revolutionary Military Council, he has also been under great pressure in the recent period.The previous Sino-Soviet war was defeated, lost to the poor and weak China!The Japanese-Soviet War that followed had another unfavorable start, with successive losses of soldiers and generals.It has only been more than 20 days since the war was declared, and the Japanese army has already reached the city of Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk). If this place can no longer be defended... the gate to the coastal area of ​​the Far East of the Soviet Union will be closed!

"Comrade Stalin..." Voroshilov's tone was heavy, his eyes were full of despair, and he shook his head in pain.

The Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk) battle had begun five days ago.Although in this battle, the Soviet Red Army was not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and weapons and equipment.The Soviet Red Army used 3 people to defend the Japanese attack of 5 people. In terms of firepower, the Soviet army had four artillery regiments with 140 four cannons, while the two divisions of the Japanese army carried 180 cannons. The two sides were basically evenly matched.But the Japanese army exclaimed that the harsh and rigorous training and decades of brainwashing education since the Meiji Restoration are now beginning to show their powerful power!The continuous fierce attack for five days and nights has put the Soviet Red Army in Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk) on the verge of collapse. If it were not for the constant supervision of the political commissars and internal affairs personnel, these troops might have left their positions and Weapons fled to China on the other side of the Ussuri River to go to White Russia?

It is rare for Stalin not to roar... Maybe he is used to the defeat of the Soviet Red Army now?Anyway, the defense of Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk) has been fought for five full days, and it is estimated that it can last for a few more days.Compared with the failures of Zalainor and Soviet Port, the progress is still obvious!

"Has the Siberian Railway been repaired? When will our reinforcements arrive? When will the counterattack begin?"

Voroshilov seemed to let out a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot... Stalin seemed to have accepted the reality that Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk) was about to fall.

"The railway line has been repaired this morning and reinforcements are on the way. Soon two divisions of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army will arrive in Birobidzhan, and more troops will follow. The Revolutionary Military Council plans, in late June In the future, we will start to counterattack Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk), planning to use 15 to 20 troops..."

"Late June...why does it take so long? Can't it be faster?" Stalin interrupted Voroshilov impatiently.He probably heard that there were 15 to 20 Red Army available, and his tone became firm again. At the same time, he waved his left hand slightly and ordered loudly:

"The battles in Khabarovsk during this period have shown that the Japanese imperialists' offensive power is gradually weakening. It is clear that their power is coming to an end and is about to go downhill. The counterattack of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army should be timely and timely. The rapid deployment must not give the Japanese a chance to breathe. Because then they will seize the time to build a solid fortification along the Amur River, which will not be conducive to the attack of the Red Army of Workers and Peasants!"

After listening to Stalin's order, Voroshilov felt powerless again.But he didn't dare to argue with Stalin, so he could only protest in his heart about Stalin's amateurish and blind command of the military!This great leader simply doesn't know how much material is needed to prepare a real offensive with an army of 20 to [-]?How many trucks, carriages, and logistics personnel need to be requisitioned, hundreds of cannons need to be mobilized, hundreds of thousands of shells, tens of millions of bullets need to be hoarded... In short, every day's battle needs to consume thousands of tons of combat materials. If you want to make the Japanese dare to go to the sea in one go, you must prepare tens of thousands of tons of various materials and a large number of means of transportation in advance!Fighting is not just about people!

……

"Mr. Sun...you mean you want to intervene in this war?"

If Quan Yangyi hadn't heard Sun Yat-sen tell the news with his own ears, he certainly wouldn't have believed it.Now it's China's turn to take the lead in mediating the war between Japan and the Soviet Union!This kind of thing seems to only be done by big and powerful countries, right?The University of China is quite big...but is it considered powerful?

Inside the luxurious living room of Sun Yat-sen's official residence on Moshan, East Lake, Wuhan.Sun Yat-sen was sitting on the sofa with a red face, and Quan Yangyi, who was visiting, was sitting opposite him.Luo Yaoguo and Wang Jingwei stood behind Sun Yat-sen respectfully and respectfully. They both stood with their hands down and their eyes wide open, looking like loyal ministers.

Sun Yat-sen nodded with a gracious smile, and replied in fluent Japanese: "This second Russo-Japanese War is quite detrimental to the stability of Japan and the Asian region. Moreover, a huge war machine like the Soviet Union, Once it is fully operational, your country will not be able to cope with it. If it is only a short-term war, then I believe that the elite army and navy of your country can completely defeat the Soviet Union. But once it becomes a long-term war... the resources and national strength of the Soviet Union exceed Japan is ten times better! It must be your country that cannot persist. So out of the consideration of establishing a long-term friendly relationship with Japan, I decided to come forward to call for peace and invite the United States, Britain, France and the Netherlands to mediate the conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union , and also want to sign an Asian peace treaty including our seven countries. Gather the strength of the seven countries to jointly maintain peace and stability in Asia and the Western Pacific region... Such peace and stability are also obvious to the development of our two countries Favorable, I believe your government and the emperor will not object, right?"

Quan Yangyi frowned slightly, his mind turned quickly.He does not object to the "Asian Peace Treaty" or anything like that.This old man is a journalist turned politician, not the kind of politician who was converted from a reserve general, and his mind is not so fanatical.And he was an old Japanese born in the second year of Ansei (1855).Throughout his youth and middle age, China was a powerful empire standing in East Asia!Before the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], ordinary Japanese people had a little awe of the huge empire to the west.It was only after the Sino-Japanese War that the Japanese regarded China as a weak country that could be easily bullied.But now this big and weak China seems to have begun to cheer up!It also defeated the mighty Soviet Union not long ago!Maybe this ancient country is really starting to revive now... In this case, this "Asian Peace Treaty" seems to also protect Japan's rights and interests. After all, Japan still has North Korea and Taiwan on its territory!

"Prime Minister Sun, I do not object to the "Asian Peace Treaty." It's just that... the war between Japan and the Soviet Union is not over yet. How do you plan to mediate this war? The Japanese Empire is the victim of this war Otherwise, we have the right to receive sufficient compensation... Otherwise, the Japanese imperial government and the army and navy will not accept it." Inukai Takeshi spoke slowly, as if he was considering his words.

Sun Yat-sen smiled slightly, turned around and pointed to the two people behind him and said to Quan Yangyi: "I am still a sick person, and the specific things are left to young people to do. These two Mr. Quan Yang know each other, right?" I would like to entrust the two of them to be responsible for the mediation of the Japanese-Soviet War and the signing of the "Peace Treaty", and of course we need to communicate with Beijing beforehand."
