Republic of China game

In addition, Japan may be difficult to trust.The backyard of the Soviet Union was too vast and its resources too rich.How can Japan, an island country with small land and poor resources, not be tempted?And... such a large piece of land, if China and Japan divide it, it will be very generous, right?

"Comrades, what do you think of the rising anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the Chinese Red Army?"

Stalin sat behind his desk, watching Voroshilov, Bukharin, Molotov and others who had just arrived.During this period of time, Stalin's prestige in the party began to slowly increase again, but he still maintained a certain degree of modesty and prudence, and rarely acted arbitrarily.Voroshilov, Bukharin and others were consulted before any major decision was made.

Bukharin was the head of the Comintern, so he had read the report sent by Miff, so he had thought about countermeasures.Hearing Stalin's question, he smiled faintly: "Comrade Stalin, the Chinese Red Army...is not entirely composed of the proletariat. It is an army mainly composed of yeoman farmers who have been allocated land from the CCP, and they Most of the officers in China are intellectuals, petty bourgeoisie, and some former Kuomintang officers. So it is not surprising that they have more nationalism than internationalism in their thinking. wish?"

Hearing the "will of the majority of the party and the army", Stalin's face flashed a gloomy look, and he glanced at Bukharin, but he soon calmed down and changed into a smiling face: "Comrade Bukharin said Yes, the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese Red Army have a strong nationalist sentiment at the moment, which was reflected in the Mongolian incident last year. But there is nothing to do about it. After all, China was still a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country not long ago. Where did so many proletarians come from? But with the rapid development of capitalism in southern China, in the near future, the CCP should really become a party of the working class, right?"

Stalin's words were quite profound, and it seemed understandable that he acquiesced in the CCP's disobedience to the arrangements of the Communist International. At the same time, he expressed doubts about the current nature of the CCP. Of course, he felt a little helpless.In this time and space, the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants was firmly grasped by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhang Guotao and others, and because of the friendly attitude of the Kuomintang, the living environment of the CCP and the Red Army has always been relatively good, and naturally they did not need much guidance from the Soviet Union.

"Comrade Stalin, if the CCP can successfully pass the test, it may start to lead the coalition government in northern China in the future. At that time, they will need the help of the Communist International and the Soviet Union. We can also take this opportunity to transform the CCP and make it proletarian. change."

Bukharin may have seen Stalin's mind, smiled slightly, and put forward his own suggestion.

"Helping their coalition government?" Stalin frowned deeply. To be honest, Stalin himself was not optimistic about this coalition government.It was only to contain the ever-growing Kuomintang in southern China that the CCP was instructed to participate in and lead such a complex government, and it was a "local government" that was subordinate to the central government just like the National Government.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." Bukharin nodded with a smile: "No matter from the standpoint of the Soviet Union or the Communist International, we must help this coalition government led by the Chinese Communists. Otherwise, once they collapse, the Kuomintang will be destroyed. I'm going to take advantage of it."

Stalin frowned even tighter, and a feeling of being trapped suddenly surged up from the bottom of his heart.Originally, he supported this coalition government just to cause some troubles for the Kuomintang... But now why has he become a trouble for the Soviet Union?If it continues to develop, it seems that it will evolve into the Southern Nationalist Government and the Northern Coalition Government fighting for the economy?

Stalin sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly: "Then how can we help this... coalition government?"

"Comrade Stalin, helping the CCP should start by exerting pressure on Japan, and we should also participate in the sanctions against Japan." Bukharin had an answer after a little thought. He smiled and said: "If the CCP has no way If they win this war, their prestige in the coalition government will be greatly reduced. In addition, there is no tariff independence, and the Japanese army is stationed under their noses... These are very detrimental to the CCP.”

"But we have a special relationship with Japan..." Stalin's voice was inaudible, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.The "special relationship" with Japan was a "sensitive term" within the Soviet Union. After all, the Soviet people still hated Japan's aggression!

"But doesn't Japan only want Manchuria?" Bukharin smiled heavily.

Stalin stood up and paced in the office. This decision can be a bolt from the blue for Japan, which is currently being isolated internationally.The war launched by Japan may end in humiliation because of this, but most of the secret alliance between Japan and the Soviet Union that was established with great difficulty will also be broken because of this.This is tantamount to replacing the Japanese-Soviet alliance with a coalition government in northern China to deal with the increasingly powerful southern Chinese government... What a dilemma!

"Comrade Stalin." Voroshilov stood up at this time, and carefully expressed his opinion: "If the CCP can really control this coalition government, I am afraid that our relationship with Japan will eventually break down. "

"Oh, why?" Stalin frowned, faintly feeling a problem.

Voroshilov shook his head and sighed: "Japan's ambitions for Manchuria are obvious, and Manchuria will definitely be under the jurisdiction of the coalition government. If Japan wants to invade Manchuria...can the Chinese Communist Party and the Red Army not resist? ? And how can we not support the Chinese Communist Party? Otherwise, our credibility among the proletariat of the world will be at risk..."

Stalin couldn't help but gasped, and felt dizzy for a while. This time, he really made a bad move and let a coalition government led by the Communist Party of China trap him!Even the Japan-Soviet alliance against Chinese imperialism has been broken.But what can happen now?The CCP is not allowed to join the coalition government?Let them withdraw the Red Army back to Suiyuan?In this way, do we still need the CCP’s signboard?And... those "social patriots" don't listen to themselves, do they?

"Let's announce our participation in the sanctions against Japan!" Stalin hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and made up his mind, but he paused and said: "Comrade Molotov, you leave for Japan immediately and explain our policy to them." And you can also assure the Japanese side that if they take action in Manchuria, the Soviet Union will definitely not interfere, nor will it support the CCP in taking hostile actions!"

Stalin's determination became the decision of the Soviet government the next day.On May [-], [-], the Soviet government issued a circular announcing that it would participate in the trade embargo against Japan initiated by China, Britain, the United States, France and the Netherlands in accordance with the obligations stipulated in the "Asian Peace Treaty", and urged the Japanese government to Withdraw troops from China's Zhili Province as soon as possible, and hope that China and Japan can restore peace as soon as possible through negotiations.As the Soviet Union finally joined the sanctions, Japan's oil and steel import channels were completely shut down.The truce has finally entered the countdown...

……

On the same day that the Soviet government announced its participation in the sanctions against Japan, a rare guest from Wuhan was welcomed to the Prince's Mansion of Shuncheng County in Beijing—Yang Yongtai, the special envoy of Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the Kuomintang Military Committee.

Outside the window, there are red flowers, grass green, rippling and green.The father and son of the Zhang family and Yang Yuting, the Chief Counselor of the Feng Faction, were all dressed in casual clothes, drinking tea and chatting with Secretary-General Yang Yongtai, who was also wearing a green cloth gown.The tea fragrance unique to top-quality green tea wafts faintly in the flower hall.

Probably learned that the Soviet Union has participated in the sanctions against Japan, and the war is finally coming to an end.The three members of the Feng family also looked much better today, with smiles on their faces that couldn't be concealed, especially the old general Zhang, whose old face was about to shine right now.

"Yu Shuai, right now the Japanese invaders are still raging on the Zhili Plain, and the land has not yet been regained. As Chinese, we are all guarding the soil, and we should unite as one and fight to the end!" Yang Yongtai didn't know if it was the news. He is so well-informed that he still has a serious face now, and what he said makes people feel a little confused.

"Mr. Changqing, right now the Soviet Union..." Zhang Xueliang just opened his mouth when he saw his father winking and stopped immediately, keeping his mouth shut.He just picked up the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

Yang Yongtai nodded slightly at Zhang Xueliang, smiled and said: "I already know what the young commander said, but... the Soviet Union's participation in sanctions may not necessarily mean the end of the war! According to the information collected by the General Staff of our National Revolutionary Army It shows that Japan's domestic strategic resource reserves can last for a while. Therefore, they may use this time to expand the war to force us to make concessions. So... all of us Chinese, especially the northern factions in the war zone It is still necessary to unite and join the war of resistance.”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the room, and the faces of Zhang Zuolin and Yang Yuting also darkened slightly.I don't know how long it took, Yang Yuting coughed lightly, and then broke the silence: "Mr. Changqing, what do you mean by your words? Who is the faction in the north referring to when they want to unite? Who is this unity based on?" under the banner of

Yang Yongtai smiled deeply, took a sip of tea from his teacup, moistened his throat, and said with a smile: "Of course, the northern factions refer to Yushuai's Feng family, the Chinese Communist Party, Yan Baichuan from Shanxi, Feng Huanzhang's national army, and... Wu Ziyu's third division. As for whose flag to unite with, of course it is our five-color national flag, but it can't be our party's blue sky and white sun flag? Yushuai, don't you think so?"

This is quite reasonable. Although the armies of each faction have their own masters, in the final analysis, isn't it still the Chinese army?Of course, it should be united under the five-color flag representing the country.Of course, the voice in these words, everyone here is also the most intelligent master, so naturally they can all understand.This is to instigate the Feng Faction to fight for the position of the leader of the Zhili Anti-Japanese War...and by the way, also fight for the right to speak in the future coalition government!Well, that's it, there is both unity and struggle.This coalition government is such a thing, and there are few coalition governments in the world that are not noisy.

"It's just...the communists shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the War of Resistance Against Japan, and they have made great achievements. This...this is also obvious to all." Zhang Zuolin gently turned the teacup in his hand, as if thinking about his words: "Now victory is in sight, let's come out to pick peaches , I'm afraid it's not right?"

"What's wrong!" Yang Yuting patted the table and shouted loudly: "If you want to give credit, it's not their Communist Party's turn! It should be led by the Southern Nationalist Government? Their Communist Party is only in Jinan and Pingyuan County After fighting for a few days, they were still defeated... Hard work is a little bit, but meritorious service is nonsense! Besides, our Feng Department also contributed money, guns, and food for this war, and it was on our territory Fight, why can't our commander-in-chief be the leader?"

"Our chairman also means the same thing... This time we also plan to send another division of troops to the north." Yang Yongtai paused here, glanced at the three members of the Feng Department with the corner of his eyes, and smiled: "But please In the direction of Yushuai, our troops will only go to Anyang, Henan, and will never go north unless necessary."

Only to Anyang?What kind of day is this against?The Japanese army can defend Tianjin.I'm afraid this teacher is purely here to promote Marshal Zhang, right?As soon as Yang Yuting rolled his eyes, he knew the KMT's wishful thinking.

They are the bosses in China right now. If they send a division to the north to support Zhili’s resistance against Japan, and “obey” the command of Marshal Zhang... then the CCP will probably have to follow suit, right?What's more, there is another Sun Yat-sen who holds the orthodox name and can directly appoint Zhang Zuolin as the commander-in-chief of the Zhili Anti-Japanese War.At that time, Dashuai Zhang will get the name, and he will naturally be able to fight against the CCP.Anyway, this war is almost over, so there is no need to really drag Fengjun to fight the Japanese army, right?However, there is also a problem here, that is, the "friendly" relationship between the Feng Faction and the CCP is likely to be broken because of this... I am afraid that this coalition government will also be a mere formality?It seems that this is the real purpose of Yang Yongtai and Chiang Kai-shek.

"Yu Shuai, Young Marshal, General Lin Ge." Seeing that the scene had cooled down a bit, Yang Yongtai smiled again and said, "Actually, our committee has no objection to the emergence of a coalition government in the north, but we just hope that the northern Don’t change the color of yours to red. And if Marshal Zhang can come out to lead Zhili’s resistance against Japan, it’s only good for the Feng faction, right? Even the CCP can’t manipulate you at will. After all, what the coalition government pays attention to is In a union, everyone is voluntary and equal, and there is no one who leads the other.”

Jinan, Shandong, Wanzhu Garden.

Luo Yaoguo was walking slowly in a bamboo forest at this time, and beside him was Yoshiko Kawashima who had changed into a kimono again... This outfit was changed after arriving at Wanzhuyuan.Otherwise, if you walk around in this outfit on the devastated streets of Jinan, you will definitely be beaten.

Yoshiko Kawashima ran all the way from Yantai to Jinan today to discuss letting "her" Zhilu allied forces stay in Yantai for a while longer, and when the war is over, there will naturally be ships to send them to Manchuria settle down.Zhang Zuolin has agreed to their "return". After all, the [-] White Russian "naturalized troops" are still very capable, and Zhang Zuolin is also thinking about using them for his own use.

"Fangzi, you really decided to go north to Manchuria, won't you go back to Wuhan with me?" Luo Yaoguo suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked back at the "No. [-] Beauty in Manchuria" who was still somewhat pretty.

A slight hesitation flashed on Fangzi's pink and jade-like face, but then she shook her head: "Fuwen, I... I have my ambitions, and although I know the possibility of success is slim, I still want to try. Give it a try. Even if it’s only for one day, you’ve finally worked hard.”

Luo Yaoguo nodded and didn't say anything more.In this era, the Republic of China has only lasted eighteen years, and it is normal for those old and young of the Manchu Qing to still remember the restoration of the old dynasty.Luo Yaoguo knew they would not succeed, so he didn't bother to stop them.And these people, especially Yoshiko Kawashima, may still be useful.

"Fuwen, when your army hits Manchuria, I...will definitely not be your enemy." There seems to be a trace of affection in Chuan Dao's brows, but most of them are pretending!If they really wait until that day, they will not be able to fight with the little capital of the Socialist Party.

Luo Yaoguo turned around, reached out and touched Yoshiko Kawashima's young and clean face: "You girl alone is worth a division, but...it's not enough just not to be my enemy. I also know that you have to do something What, but I will still let you return to Manchuria, because I have a special task for you. As long as you do this task for me, no matter what happens in the future, I will always have a way to keep you. "

"Mission..." Yoshiko Kawashima blinked her almond eyes and looked at Luo Yaoguo: "What do you want me to do?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, took Kawashima Yoshiko's hand, and said with a smile: "I want you to find ways to destroy the relationship between Japan and the Soviet Union. This task is not easy, but I believe you can still accomplish it. After all, because of the Northern Coalition Government , There has also been a gap between Japan and the Soviet Union."

"Destroy... the relationship between Japan and the Soviet Union?" Kawashima Yoshiko frowned slightly.I don't know what to think in my heart?With her identity and status, this task may indeed play some role.

"I know you will find a way." Luo Yaoguo put his arm on Fangzi's shoulder, smiled and said: "Of course, this matter is not done by you alone. In addition, you and my colleagues Keep in touch, and someone will come to see you with my handwritten letter. You should know my handwriting, right?"

"Alas..." Kawashima Yoshiko sighed, and nodded lightly: "You are a real person, why do you only care about national affairs in your heart? Don't know when we will meet today, don't you want to treat me Say something?"

Luo Yaoguo glanced at Yoshiko Kawashima, who was in the mist of spring, and smiled slightly: "Aren't you the same girl? We are all the same kind of people, we are all chasing after each other... Well, let's not talk about that, yes Now, I want you to send a message to Yongtian Tieshan, tell him..."

Chapter 0450 rush exam (eight) picking peaches

May 17, 21th year of the Republic of China.That is, the day after the great Soviet Empire announced that it would join the sanctions against Japan, the patriotism of the warlords in northern China suddenly exploded!

On this day, Zhang Zuolin, Marshal of the Feng Faction, held a high-profile press conference at the Prince's Mansion in Shuncheng County, Beijing, announcing, "According to President Sun's telegram, he will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the North China Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Representatives from the Kuomintang, the Youth Party, the Communist Party of China, the National Army, the Jin Army, and others discussed the plan to resist Japan.”

Almost at the same time, Yan Laoxi issued a telegram in Taiyuan, Shanxi, announcing that he would follow Zhang Dashuai to fight against Japan to the end.Shanxi will send 18 troops, which will be under the unified command of the "North China Anti-Japanese Alliance".On the same day, the Nationalist Government in Wuhan and the General Headquarters of the Northwest Xinjiang Youth Army also responded by telegram. The National Revolutionary Army will send the No. [-] Division across Hebei to aid Zhizhi, and it will also obey the command of Marshal Zhang.The youth army will send troops [-] miles from Xinjiang to Zhili to hold the field of Marshal Zhang.If they would really come, it is estimated that the war would have ended many days ago, but this enthusiasm for resisting Japan is still worthy of praise.For a time, a beautiful picture of all parties and regiments in China fighting against the war and going to the national disaster together was displayed in front of the people of the whole country!Uh, who else seems to be missing?The Chinese Communist Party and the National Army appear to have remained silent.

Beijing, the Yingbin Building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

With a snap, Mao Zedong threw Zhang Zuolin's handwritten letter just received on the table.Zhang Zuolin's tone in this letter was modest, and he threw out a lot of flattery as if he didn't want money.Moreover, they are still calling Mao Zedong "Chairman Mao", and vowed to promise that the Feng Faction will support him as the chairman of the "coalition government".As for the "Anti-Japanese Allied Forces" this time, it was all pushed on the head of the Kuomintang reactionaries.The Feng family is just forced by the situation, and I have to make excuses to deal with the situation. I hope the Chinese Communists will understand...
