Republic of China game

Zhou Enlai nodded noncommittally.Zeng Qi smiled and continued to enlighten: "To be honest, after this round of the Sino-Japanese War, the people of the whole country have realized the combat effectiveness of the Red Army. Your Red Army is only poorly equipped. In terms of not fearing death and hardship, The Japanese army is much worse than you. I believe that as long as you have half the heavy weapons of the Japanese army, you will be able to defeat them! Why don’t you wait for a few years, why not wait until the heavy industry in Baotou has a small success, and then we will cancel the Northeast Free Trade Zone. ? When the time comes, we will go to war with the Japanese, and we will have nothing to fear!"

Zhou Enlai took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "It seems like this is the only way to go now... Let's take back the tariff autonomy in the customs first, and the tariff in the Northeast will be a few years away. But the matter of building a coastal defense fortress at Dagukou But we must hurry up, otherwise we only need to clash with the Japanese, and they will be able to land from Tianjin and drive straight into Beijing! This is equivalent to opening the door to the country."

……

On June 17, 90.00, Japanese Foreign Minister Baron Kijuro Hashihara arrived in Beijing as a special envoy of the Japanese government.This day happened to be the time when the results of the "referendum" in Outer Mongolia were announced.This time the "referendum" was as expected, [-]% of the adult citizens in the Mongolian region chose the Republic of China as their motherland.

"Mr. Wang, congratulations that your country has finally obtained Mongolia as it wished." When Kijuro Moshihara saw Wang Jingwei who came to the train station to greet him, he hurriedly congratulated him, although his tone was full of sour vinegar.

Wang Jingwei and Yuan Yuan shook hands, and smiled politely: "This is also thanks to your country. If your country did not defeat the Soviet Union in the second Russo-Japanese War, the Mongolian issue would not be so easy to solve."

Kijuro Moshihara smiled faintly: "Fortunately, the misunderstanding between our two countries did not affect your referendum this time. Otherwise, it would be a fight between the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman would benefit."

Wang Jingwei's expression was also indifferent, and he just politely made a gesture of apprehension, and invited Bi Yuan into the car parked beside the platform.Waiting for the accompanying adjutant to close the car door heavily, Wang Jingwei sighed softly, speaking in fluent Japanese: "This battle really hurts both sides! The photos taken by the war reporters in Jinan are too tragic, with corpses strewn all over the field... the whole battlefield They are all dead! This kind of war is really of no benefit to our two countries!"

Kijuro Motohara twisted his beard with a very serious expression: "I am here this time to end this meaningless war. The price our two countries have paid for this war is too heavy." Speaking of this war Well, he, the foreign minister, was also very supportive, but he made such a big mess in the end.If it wasn't for the fear of pain, he should have found a place where no one was around and cut through his stomach.

Wang Jingwei nodded solemnly: "It would be great if that could be done. It's just... our country is not the losing side in this war, so compensation is absolutely impossible."

"Oh."

"Of course, we will not ask your country for compensation, although... our losses are also huge."

"As said."

"In addition, we are willing to redeem Qingdao's assets belonging to the Japanese side at a fair price and take back the Qingdao Concession."

"This country can consider it." Kijuro Kijuro nodded while twisting his beard.

"In this case, how about the negotiation between us being successfully completed?"

"Oh?"

Kijuro Motohara tilted his head slightly: "So, can the armistice agreement between our two countries be reached? We can accept all the above conditions."

Wang Jingwei shook his head slowly: "That's not true. It's just that the rest of the negotiation has nothing to do with me. Zhou Enlai of the Chinese Communist Party and Zhang Xueliang of the Fengjun will put forward their conditions. This is the current China, and Mr. Biyuan must also agree. Didn’t you know it already?” Wang Jingwei stopped and sighed slightly: “They want much more than us, so I don’t know if you can agree to it?”

Kijuro Motohara looked at Wang Jingwei and thought, "He is indeed a gentle guy, but it's a pity that he is no longer a major figure in the Kuomintang..."

Although the CCP wants a lot, it does not need to negotiate with Japan on everything.For example, in terms of "agreement on tariffs", Britain, the United States and France quickly revised the "Nanjing Treaty", "Wangxia Treaty" and "Whampoa Treaty", deleting all the clauses that harmed China's tariff independence.This is not only because the three of them now support the Kuomintang, but also because of the factors of the Middle East Road and Shandong battles.Such a country that has taught Japan and Russia, the two major imperialist powers, a lesson, is of course qualified to take back its tariff autonomy.As for the retreat of the Japanese garrison from Tianjin and the permission to build a fort at Dagukou, it involves the "Xin Chou Treaty", and Japan also made concessions during the negotiations.After all, the Feng family also won the "Three Eastern Provinces Free Trade Zone" for them.In fact, with Japan's occupation of Kanto Prefecture and the control of the South Manchuria Railway Line, they don't need this "free trade zone" at all to dump goods to the Northeast through smuggling.

Therefore, the negotiation of the Sino-Japanese armistice agreement did not actually go through several rounds of confrontation, and finally reached an agreement.On June [-], Japan's chief negotiator, Kijuro Hashihara, signed the "Sino-Japanese Armistice Agreement" with the Chinese chief negotiator, Wang Jingwei, in Huairen Hall, Zhongnanhai, Beijing. There is a full stop.

……

"[-]. The Japanese army is completely withdrawn from China's Shandong province. The property of the Japanese government in Tsingtao is redeemed by the Chinese national government at a fair price.

[-]. The complete withdrawal of Japanese troops from Chihli Province in China.Japan's Tianjin Concession continued to be retained.

[-]. China may build a defensive fortress in the Takukou area of ​​Zhili, provided that the caliber of the cannon it is equipped with cannot exceed [-] inches.

[-]. China stopped paying boxer indemnities to Japan.

[-]. Japan agrees that China will fully withdraw its tariff autonomy, and all treaties between China and Japan that damage China's tariff autonomy will become invalid immediately.

[-]. China and Japan ensure each other that they will never infringe upon each other's territory and rights.

[-]. The disputes between China and Japan concerning the Kanto Concession and the South Manchuria Railway were resolved through negotiations.

[-]. Japan renounces all claims for compensation for the Jinan Incident. "

In the well-decorated office belonging to Luo Yaoguo in the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo sat silently facing each other.Natalie stood behind Luo Yaoguo, holding in her hand the telegram about the content of the "Sino-Japanese Armistice Agreement" that she had just received, and in a sweet voice, she read the main clauses of the armistice agreement one by one.

"Hey... let them succeed." Chiang Kai-shek's face was slightly livid, his brows were tightly knit, and he seemed very dissatisfied with the terms of the armistice.

Luo Yaoguo shrugged his shoulders, with a look of indifference: "That's good, they can resist the Japanese invasion for us, and we can also do other things with peace of mind, such as expanding westward or southward."

"Do you still think that Japan will invade the Northeast?" Chiang Kai-shek smiled coldly with a disdainful expression on his face: "I think Japan will not dare to mess with us after receiving this lesson! And we... should consider Anne Only when the interior is settled, will your westward expansion and southward expansion be possible! Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of Communist Red Army and Nationalist Army will hold you back, and we won’t be able to move!”

"Anne?" Luo Yaoguo glanced at Chiang Kai-shek who was full of anger.I don't know what blood feud this person had with the CCP in his previous life?Why do you always want to deal with these people?

"Brother Fuwen, with the high efficiency and unity of the CCP and the resources in the north, I estimate that they will be able to develop heavy industry in a few years. It will be a big problem! And now is their weakest time , there is no need for us to take action at all, as long as the youth army and Yan Xishan from Shanxi join forces, they will most likely be wiped out!"

In this time and space, Chiang Kai-shek is not the kind of dictator who has the final say, but just one of the five leaders of the Kuomintang.And now Sun Yat-sen doesn't want to break with the Communist Party, so he can only come to Luo Yaoguo, who controls the intelligence bureau and Wang Zixing's force.

But Luo Yaoguo smiled: "Jie Gong, if we really attack the CCP now, I'm afraid this trouble will be even more difficult to deal with. Let them develop, maybe they will end up with us by different routes after they develop?"

Chapter 0452 Special Economic Zone

The "short-term war of resistance" in the 17th year of the Republic of China was finally over without any risk, and it was a legendary win-win.China, Japan, the Kuomintang, and the Communist Party all celebrated their victory after the war!Some soul from the 21st century seems to love happy endings like this.

Beijing, Xishan.

Inside the temporary resident of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, there was a joyous atmosphere.Right now they are already half masters of Beijing City or Northern China!Thinking of fleeing the capital of China more than three years ago in embarrassment, how can the princes of the CCP not be filled with emotion?

"Comrades, it looks like our opponents are going to be disappointed now! We Communists have gained a firm foothold in Beijing, the capital of China." Mao Zedong's eyebrows that had been furrowed during this time were rarely opened, and his face Also with a little excitement.Although he is not very satisfied with the current situation, entering Beijing and controlling most of the coalition government should be a way to open up the situation.

"Yes, Chairman." Zhou Enlai also had a happy face, but he still spoke with his unique elegance and modesty.Moreover, his address to Mao Zedong was changed from "Comrade Runzhi" to "Chairman".It's just that this chairman is not the "Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China" but the "Chairman of the Coalition Government", which seems to be somewhat similar to the "Chairman of the Chinese Soviet Republic" in history...

"We communists will not be intimidated by any difficulties! The war against Japanese imperialism will not terrify us, and the future economic construction will be even more difficult!" Zhou Enlai waved his right arm lightly, talking eloquently: "After this war with the Japanese imperialists, we also discovered our own weaknesses and deficiencies. The main reason is that the regularization and modernization of the Red Army is not enough after the weapons and equipment are weak. To improve the regularization and modernization of the Red Army, we need The economic development of the Soviet area and the northern regions should not be opened. Therefore, the focus of our party’s work in the next stage should shift from class struggle to economic construction, especially the construction of heavy industry.”

The current Chinese Communists obviously realized the great role of economic construction, especially heavy industry, in national defense and military earlier than in history.In this time and space, due to the relatively peaceful conflicts among the various factions in the country, the kind of warfare that goes to the opponent’s lair to mobilize the masses to fight against landlords and fight guerrillas is not the main direction of the CCP’s military construction.Therefore, although the theory of people's war was also proposed by Mao Zedong, there were not many opportunities to test it in practice.On the contrary, the regularized Red Army made immortal contributions in this war to defend the motherland.It's just that they suffered a lot of unnecessary losses due to backward weapons and equipment... Therefore, it has almost become the consensus of the whole party and the whole army to develop the economy, build heavy industry, and improve the equipment level of the Red Army.As soon as Zhou Enlai proposed to develop the economy and build heavy industry, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became lively.

"Yes!" Deng Xixian, secretary-general of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, nodded in agreement: "As long as the war between us and the Kuomintang reactionaries does not break out, all the work of our party should focus on economic construction. If there is no war in 20 or even 30 years, our party will Its mission has always been economic construction, to industrialize North China.”

"Comrade Xixian said it well. If our cause is to win in the end, we must first build the north, especially the Soviet area, and fully reflect the superiority of the socialist system. Only in this way will the hundreds of millions of toiling people in the south Come with us and fight against the reactionary forces!"

It was Liu Shaoqi, the leader of the Federation of Trade Unions who said this. He chuckled and said: "Of course, the socialist transformation of the northern economy should also be gradually promoted. However, the methods should not be too drastic, lest the majority of national capitalists and enlightened gentlemen Push it to the side of the KMT."

"But... how should we carry out the socialist transformation of the northern economy?" Li Lisan, the central leader who presided over the meeting, slowly shook his head: "Now we are allied with the Feng and Jin families..."

Mao Zedong nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Li Lisan's opinion.He looked around the venue and saw that Wang Ming, Zhang Wentian, Cai Hesen, Li Dazhao and others also frowned slightly and bowed their heads in silence.And Xiang Ying, Zhu De, Gu Shunzhang, Zhang Guotao and others nodded happily again.It seems that there are different views within the party on this issue, but there is no good solution.The atmosphere on the venue became a little low again for a while.The committee members no longer speak loudly, but discuss in low voices, exchanging views in private.

"How about... how about we take out a piece of land for a pilot project?" Deng Xixian talked with Liu Shaoqi next to him in a low voice for a while, and seemed to have a solution to the problem.

"The current economy in our north and even in the Soviet area is still dominated by private ownership and small-scale peasant economy. Of course, this kind of production relationship is backward, but there is no way to change it immediately. This is because this kind of production relationship has lasted for thousands of years. It has already taken root in the hearts of most people. On the other hand, no one has seen what is so good about the advanced socialist production relations we call. It’s just us talking about it... those nationalities Capitalists and enlightened gentlemen will not hand over their hard-earned property just because we said something? Therefore, Comrade Shaoqi and I have the idea of ​​building a "socialist special economic zone" in a certain area first. , the economic and production relations there are all in accordance with the methods currently implemented by the Soviet Union. After a few years, the economic construction there has made great achievements, and the strength of our party has also been greatly enhanced. When it comes to the entire coalition government area, I believe there will be much less resistance.”

Socialist Special Economic Zone!It seems to be similar to the socialist special economic zone with Chinese characteristics in another time and space...?God Deng is a great god after all, such a genius method can also be figured out.Given the current national conditions in North China, the big guys have been engaged in private ownership for thousands of years, and they have long been used to it.If you want to change it all at once, there will definitely be problems, and it may be another "counter-revolutionary coup".However, it is different to first designate a piece of land and set up a special economic zone with public ownership. This will not harm the interests of the majority of people, and it can also set an example.When it is done well in the future and the people of the whole country realize the superiority of socialist public ownership, and then fully push it, I believe that the resistance will be much smaller.As for what to do?Uh, this is the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, not the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee...

"It really is a good idea!" Even Mao Zedong had to admire Deng Xixian's idea from the bottom of his heart.No matter what difficulties came to this young secretary-general of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he could always find a solution... Although you may think his solution is not good, you can't think of a better way.Mao Zedong lit another cigarette: "I suggest that this 'socialist special economic zone' be built in Suiyuan Baotou, where the land is sparsely populated, rich in resources, coal and iron, and is a good place to develop industry. Along the Yellow River, it is suitable for farming and herding, which is also beneficial to the construction of a new socialist agriculture..."

"Okay! We will follow the chairman's instructions. This special economic zone will be built in Baotou." Zhou Enlai was excited when he heard it. He stood up from his chair and took a few steps: "We will not only build modern industries in Baotou, but also To build modern agriculture. I suggest linking the construction and development of the Baotou Special Zone with the reorganization of our Red Army, reorganizing the laid-off Red Army into the Suiyuan Production and Construction Corps, and reclaiming farmland on both sides of the Yellow River near Baotou. The construction of the Baotou Special Zone can also make In addition, this force can also be used as our strategic reserve force. Once the situation changes, the Production and Construction Corps can be immediately transferred back to the Red Army.”

……

"Reorganization of the Red Army?" Mao Zedong took a puff of his cigarette, and gradually wrinkled his brows again.During this period of time, the division of labor among the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has undergone new changes.Mao Zedong is in charge of the negotiations of the coalition government and is preparing to serve as the chairman. In the future, he will be stationed in Beijing to lead the government work.Therefore, he no longer serves as the vice chairman of the Military Commission. In addition, the establishment of the four front armies of the Red Army has also been abolished, so the position of political commissar of the Red Front Army naturally no longer exists...

"Yes, Chairman." Zhou Enlai stood still, turned around and smiled at Mao Zedong: "The Military Commission has such an idea now. It wants to reduce the number of the Red Army and implement better troops and simpler administration. At present, our Central Red Army has eight armies and 24 divisions. , plus the local troops, the total strength is 22. The national army under our leadership has three armies and twelve divisions, with a total strength of 13. The two add up to 35 troops! If it is in wartime, forget it, but Now it is obvious that there will be a few years of peace building... The financial pressure to retain such a large army is too great. Moreover, the current drought in the Soviet area is still going on! So we plan to reduce the Red Army by [-] troops, and at the same time the national The army has also reduced its troops by [-]. However, some of them can be transferred to the production and construction corps, and the formation of troops can continue to be maintained, and they can take up arms again at any time to participate in the battle."
