But Zhou Enlai, who heard the news, obviously didn't think of this... After all, the National Revolutionary Army still looks very powerful.There are so many aircraft and cannons, and most of the officers are students taught by the most war-fighting Germans, and in the Shandong battle last year, they even beat the mighty Japanese imperialists to the point of crying.Zhou Enlai counted his fingers in his heart, the CCP could not defeat the Japanese imperialists, and it would certainly not be able to defeat the Soviet Red Army, and Japan and the Soviet Union could not defeat the Kuomintang...so the CCP would definitely not be able to defeat the Kuomintang.Uh, only Chairman Mao can understand the truth that one thing is reduced to one thing among the current high-level CCP.

"Mr. Liao, what is the attitude of the five members of the presidium of your party?" Zhou Enlai frowned slightly, and looked at Liao Zhongkai solemnly.

Liao Zhongkai breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's okay at the moment. Only Chiang Kai-shek wants to fight. No one else wants to start a civil war at this time. They just want to maintain the status quo and continue to occupy half of the country."

Only Lao Jiang wanted to fight, er, then most likely he would not be able to fight.Zhou Enlai's thick eyebrows gradually stretched out, and he nodded slightly: "It seems that these people are not mad enough to start a civil war at the risk of the world. But our China has been a unified whole for thousands of years. The confrontation does not seem to be in line with the wishes of the people of the whole country, right?"

Liao Zhongkai was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and said in his heart: "If the Kuomintang doesn't come to beat you, it's already burning incense. Could it be that you still want to send troops to the south?"

Zhou Enlai smiled and said: "Our party and President Zhang have discussed a peaceful unification method, and now we are preparing to push it in the north. The first step is to abolish the Soviet government and the military government of the Fengjun Army, and put the Black, Kyrgyz, Liao, Re, Cha , Zhi, Sui, Mongolia, Shanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, as well as Beijing, northern Shaanxi, northwestern Shanxi, eastern Longdong, and northern Shandong are all under the direct jurisdiction of the central government. The second step is to merge the northern coalition government with the central government The third step is to reorganize the Red Army, Feng Army, Jin Army, and Youth Army into a unified Central Army. If...your party is willing to participate in this plan, our peaceful reunification of China will be considered complete."

"Okay!" Deng Yanda clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "In this way, we can realize the peaceful reunification of China, and the last wish of the former Prime Minister can be realized. But...it seems inappropriate for Zhang Zuolin to be the great president, right? "

Zhou Enlai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Of course the president should be elected by the people. President Zhang just completed the two-year term left by the former prime minister, and during this period we plan to hold the election of the 'National Assembly', and then The National Assembly formulates a new constitution, exercises the power of the parliament, and can also implement a responsible cabinet system. After President Zhang’s two-year term expires...then hold a presidential election. In the future, our CCP will compete with your Kuomintang in elections myself."

"It should be so, it should be so..." Liao Zhongkai also nodded with a smile. The "National Assembly" mentioned by Zhou Enlai was often mentioned by Sun Yat-sen during his lifetime. The members of the presidium of believers should have no reason to object, right?

"It's just... how will our National Revolutionary Army merge with the Central Army? What should we do with the current 21 divisions, as well as the navy, air force, armament department, and military academy?" Liao Zhongkai asked after thinking about it.

Zhou Enlai nodded slightly, and looked at Liao Zhongkai peacefully: "Your party's 21 divisions are currently the most powerful troops in China. Of course, one of them will not be dismissed. And all division commanders and brigade commanders will not move, and all will remain in office. The Navy and the Air Force also do the same. The Ministry of Armaments is directly promoted to the central government, and the ministers, deputy ministers, and bureau chiefs will not be moved. The military academies are merged with the military academies of the Red Army and Fengjun, and the principals of the military academies of your party In addition, one of the central army minister and chief of staff can be appointed by a general of your party.”

Liao Zhongkai and Deng Yanda looked at each other and nodded slightly at the same time.It seems that the CCP is sincere about peaceful reunification, and definitely does not want to use peaceful reunification as an excuse to annex the power of the Kuomintang.This plan is really going to be brought out... Those people in the National Revolutionary Army should be satisfied, right?But what about the arrangements for the civil servants of the Kuomintang?

"In addition, the national government and the coalition government will also be merged into the central government." Zhou Enlai, who was already smiling, explained to Liao Zhongkai and Deng Yanda: "Chairman Mao of our coalition government and Chairman Hu of your national government will be listed together as our country. In addition, Dean Luo will serve as the vice-premier, and I will also serve as the vice-premier. The ministers of the Executive Yuan of the National Government also have appropriate arrangements, and everything is easy to discuss...We are China after all, why can’t we What about the discussion? Besides, such a government is nothing more than a provisional government. After the election of the National Assembly is over, a new responsible cabinet will be formed."

Hearing this arrangement, Liao Zhongkai nodded slightly and smiled with satisfaction: "I have seen the sincerity of your party, and the leftists of the Kuomintang should go all out to facilitate this matter, Mr. Zhou just wait for our good news. "

……

When Liao Zhongkai and Deng Yanda came from the small building of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China, their faces were full of spring, but as soon as they got into the car, their faces suddenly sank.Liao Zhongkai turned his head and looked at Zhou Enlai, who was standing at the door with a smile, to see him off with extremely complicated eyes.

"Mr. Liao, what do you think of the CCP's proposal? Is it possible for the presidium to accept it?" Deng Yanda asked calmly as soon as the car started.

Liao Zhongkai shook his head lightly, with a stern expression: "On the surface, there is nothing wrong with the CCP's proposal. It's just...why didn't they raise it when the Prime Minister was around? Now that the Prime Minister has just passed away...they can't wait to propose peaceful reunification. This There must be hidden secrets in it, but...after all, the CCP is dedicated to saving the country and the people, which is different from our party.”

Deng Yanda nodded, and let out a sigh of relief: "In this case, we should try our best to make this happen. Mr. Liao, where do you think we should start?"

Liao Zhongkai stroked his beard and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that I'm already on the bench, and you're just a member of the military committee. We can only suggest and lobby on this matter, but we don't have the right to decide. How about... ...You go to the Military Commission first to find out what Luo Yaoguo has said. I will go to see Wang Jingwei, he should support this matter, after all, we need literati to come forward to hold elections."

Speaking of this, Liao Zhongkai couldn't help but feel a little proud.If the CCP’s plan for peaceful reunification can succeed, the next step will be “government emerges from the ballot box.” Warriors like Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo are probably useless…

"Then...can our party ever elect the CCP?" Deng Yanda frowned, and said again: "The CCP is well-organized and consistent from top to bottom, and it is quite popular among the soldiers and civilians in the Soviet area. It also has a good reputation among students and intellectuals. The trade unions and peasant associations are the backing. If there is an election, I am afraid that the CCP must win, right?”

Liao Zhongkai sneered a few times, and waved his hand: "This should be the wishful thinking of the CCP, right? They thought that without the first Prime Minister, our Kuomintang would have no support. Isn't it too simple? Our party has been in the south for several years. How is it doing? Those common people naturally have a steelyard in their hearts. Besides, this election also involves various aspects such as administrative resources and election funds... The political power of the fifteen southern provinces is in our hands, and the landlords and capitalists support it. Ours, if we really want to start an election campaign, they are not sure at all. Hehe... You probably don’t know about the choice of life, right? Think about their master in the CCP, the Russian Bolsheviks led by Lenin lost after the October Revolution 'Constituent Assembly' elections."

Deng Yanda was slightly surprised when he heard the words. He really didn't know much about this matter. Aren't Lenin and the Bolsheviks deeply loved by the Soviet people?Otherwise, how could it have won the Soviet-Russian Civil War?

Liao Zhongkai smiled again: "The one who won the election of the Constituent Assembly with an overwhelming advantage that year was precisely the Russian Socialist Revolutionary Party led by Kerentzky who was overthrown in the October Revolution! You know this Does it explain anything?"

Deng Yanda frowned and shook his head, not knowing how to answer.

Liao Zhongkai glanced at the bustling people outside the car window, and sighed: "Most ordinary people only care about their daily livelihood, although they also want to express their wishes on national affairs, but they don't want to bear too high a price for it. But revolutionaries are always ready to shed blood for the country and the nation! This is the difference between ordinary people and revolutionaries. In Russia at that time, most of the people who supported the Socialist Revolutionary Party were ordinary people, and their support was limited to votes .But the Bolshevik supporters are ready to pay their whole lives for it! In China right now, the situation is the same. If there is an election, our party’s middle line and achievements are enough to attract most voters, but if there is a revolution... "

Chapter 0459 the greatest crisis of the Kuomintang ([-])

The night is dark and the spring breeze is floating.

Inside the Military Commission Building of the Nationalist Government, when the door of Luo Yaoguo's office slammed, it was Deng Yanda who walked out in a general's uniform.Luo Yaoguo took a step forward, but held it in his hand.

Deng Yanda said with a smile: "Brother Fuwen, please stop. I have delayed your time too much today. It's getting dark today, and we have been chatting for a whole afternoon. You should think about what I'm talking about, and I will It seems that the CCP is quite sincere. And if we don’t agree, we will be passive in politics.”

Luo Yaoguo just smiled: "Brother Zhesheng, this matter needs to be discussed in a long-term way, and it can't be too hasty. After all, it involves the future and destiny of us, a large group of people. The CCP will trouble Brother Zhesheng to explain it. After all, we have a big family and a big business. Well, it’s not that the five of us nod our heads and forget it. We have to think carefully about it. But... this matter is not urgent, and don’t be tired. I think you have cleared up during this time. No, you still have to take good care of your body."

Deng Yanda still maintained an impeccable smile.Today, he and Luo Yaoguo fooled me and I fooled you. After talking for an afternoon, it seemed that everything had been figured out, but they didn't nod at the end.I really don't understand what kind of medicine is sold in Luo Yaoguo's gourd?

He didn't say much at the moment, just gave a military salute to Luo Yaoguo as a matter of routine, and then hurried downstairs.Although it was already dark, General Deng still couldn't go home to sleep with his wife in his arms. The most important thing right now was to go to Liao Zhongkai's place and ask Wang Jingwei about his tone.

When Deng Yanda went downstairs, Luo Yaoguo frowned as he looked at the upright looking figure from behind, his smiling face suddenly darkened.He snorted softly and walked towards Chiang Kai-shek's office.Generalissimo Jiang also appointed to stay in the office at this moment and did not go home. Now is an extraordinary period, and the affairs of his wife and children can only be put aside.

As soon as he walked to the door of the chairman's office, he saw Chen Lifu standing there waiting.The director of the "National General Mobilization Committee" did not go to work on his own site for the past two days, but spent all day in Chiang Kai-shek's office... must be plotting something?I don't know if he is instigating Lao Jiang to usurp the party and seize power?

Luo Yaoguo greeted Chen Lifu and followed him into Chiang Kai-shek's office.In the office, Yang Yongtai, Zhu Peide, He Yingqin, Kong Xiangxi, Shanghai Mayor Zhang Jingjiang, and Jiangsu Provincial Chairman Chen Guofu were also sitting in the office.Everyone in the room had pale faces and frowned.

The first choice to welcome Luo Yaoguo was Lao Jiang's eagle eyes with sharp eyes, and then he spoke Ningbo Mandarin with a little anger: "Brother Fuwen, Deng Zesheng came to you to talk about peaceful reunification, right? Today at noon Liao Zhongkai has already approached Wang Jingwei. This is a conspiracy by the Communist Party, don't you see it?"

Luo Yaoguo found a chair, sat down, took the cup of tea from Jiang Xiaozhen, took a sip, and then smiled slightly: "Mr. Jie, if you think so, the Ministry of Staff can rest assured. The Ministry of Staff means , we should keep the Communist Party at arm’s length.”

"Keep a respectful distance? What do you mean? Don't China want to be unified? Will the north-south confrontation continue like this forever?" Chiang Kai-shek's anger eased a little, but he still looked aggressive.

Luo Yaoguo raised his head and met Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, and immediately avoided Chiang Kai-shek's gaze.This old Jiang is too fierce... It seems that without the restraint of Hu Hanmin and Xu Chongzhi, it really can't work.

"Jie Gong, please calm down and let Beizhi finish his sentence." Luo Yaoguo shook his head slightly, lowered his posture again, and simply called "Huizhi": "Right now we are almost evenly matched with the north, and behind them are the Soviet Union and Japan. In order to help, the lure of the Communist Party's low-level people is no small matter. If we really tear our faces into a fight, we are not sure of victory, and the economy that has finally improved will suffer heavy losses. I am afraid that the more The poorer you fight, the poorer you are...the more you want the proletarian revolution!"

Chiang Kai-shek gritted his teeth and glanced at Luo Yaoguo: "If that's the case, why do you oppose the CCP's peaceful reunification? Peaceful reunification, wouldn't it be great for everyone to vote?"

Luo Yaoguo waved his hand and said with a smile: "The lowly position is not to oppose the peaceful reunification of the CCP forever, it's just that the time is not yet ripe. However, it is better to talk slowly between the North and the South, talk about it for ten or eight years, and when we put our own Let’s talk about it once the territory has been managed.”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Luo Yaoguo with complicated eyes.Now the National Revolutionary Army can no longer be commanded by personal prestige and the feelings of superiors and subordinates.If Luo Yaoguo conspired with him, there might be a way to start a war, otherwise he would really be helpless on his own.

"You mean slowly negotiating with the CCP and delaying the matter? You are not afraid of delaying it for ten or eight years... They have also established heavy industry, and our advantage will not be guaranteed by then."

Luo Yaoguo met Chiang Kai-shek's gaze, smiled slightly, and said word by word: "It will be beneficial for us to drag on. Their heavy industry can't catch up, and the gap between the two sides will only get bigger and bigger. Because...they haven't had peace for a few years. It's been better."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Yaoguo, slightly curious, wondering what he was referring to when he said that there is no such thing as a peaceful life?

Could it be that there is something going on in the north?Or is it the final outburst of Japanese ambitions for Manchuria?All the Chiang faction in the room looked puzzled, only Chiang Kai-shek picked up the teacup calmly and took a sip.He said lightly: "Then let's talk slowly... I want to see, what kind of trouble will they come to?"

……

At the same time, another lobbying campaign reached its climax in Sun Yat-sen's official residence in Moshan.

Mrs. Sun Soong Ching Ling lives here now.The top leaders of the Kuomintang also kept Madam Sun respectful and far away. Everyone treated her with respect, and there were a lot of treatment that should be given and treatment that should not be given.She lived in the Moshan mansion as usual, and all the service staff and monthly expenses of the mansion continued to be provided according to the standards when Sun Yat-sen was alive.It's just that the arrangement of Soong Ching Ling's status in the party has not been followed.Let alone a high-ranking vice-chairman, even the Central Standing Committee and the Central Executive Committee have not heard the wind.There are rumors that Sun Ke, the son of the eldest son, will be elected as the vice chairman of the Kuomintang...

However, while the KMT's top leaders are lukewarm, the friends of the CCP respect this Mrs. Sun very much.Zhou Enlai, who came to Wuhan to attend Sun Yat-sen's funeral, often came to express his condolences, and today he proposed to ask her to serve as the chairman of the future National Assembly or Political Consultative Conference.

Soong Ching Ling was wearing a plain cheongsam at the moment, with a white flower on her head, her dignified and beautiful face was full of tears, her almond eyes were red and swollen, and tears rolled down from her eye sockets from time to time.Sitting beside her and crying with her was Zhou Enlai's wife Deng Yingchao.The two women were crying, it was really sad to watch.

Zhou Enlai, who was sitting opposite the two of them, also had a sad face, his eye circles were also red, and he looked absolutely heartbroken: "Mrs. Sun, although Mr. Sun has left us, we still have his principles and ideals." It should continue to be followed. The 'peaceful reunification' and the convening of the 'National Assembly' proposed by our party are two major events that Mr. Sun never forgot during his lifetime."

Soong Ching Ling forced a smile, nodded, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your party's kindness. These two important matters were indeed brought up by the Prime Minister during his lifetime. It's just that there are different opinions within the party...so it has been delayed for a long time. I didn't expect it to be..." At this point, Madam Sun sobbed softly again.

Zhou Enlai raised his eyebrows and let out a light sigh.Today, after he broke up with Liao Zhongkai and Deng Yanda, he went straight to the Moshan mansion with Deng Yingchao and lobbied for a whole afternoon. Now that it was dark, the lady finally let go.With Mrs. Sun's support, the great cause of peaceful reunification...maybe there will be more hope.Even if it is destroyed by the rightists of the Kuomintang in the end, it should be able to win some supporters within the Kuomintang.

……

East Lake, inside Hu Hanmin's mansion.

"Cousin Zhan, the North is willing to give you the position of vice president. In addition, the convening of the National Assembly is also based on the votes of each faction. In this regard, our party is sure to win. It is stronger than the army after unification by force. Difficult to control, peaceful reunification, and democratic elections are the safest... And you and I joined the League and joined the revolution, wasn't it just for this day? Now that such an ideal is about to be realized, do we have to do it for the self-interest of the party? And give up this opportunity?"
