Republic of China game

"Brother Zesheng, how do you know that the result of the investigation must be their hands?" Zhou Enlai shook his head lightly.

Deng Yanda sneered, "Someone will let us know..."

Chapter 0462 Upheaval ([-])

Beijing.The night gradually darkened, and the night sky was covered with dark clouds. There were neither stars nor the moon, and the whole thing could not be seen.

In the meeting room of Shuangqing Villa in Xiangshan, it was brightly lit at the moment.The enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee was held overnight.After Zhou Enlai's urgent telegram arrived here this evening, the central leader Li Lisan immediately called the Politburo members and alternate members in Beijing to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The news of the assassination of Mr. Liao Zhongkai, a close comrade-in-arms of the CCP, immediately aroused anger in the conference room.Members of the Politburo spoke one after another and asked to unite with the Feng Faction to exert pressure on Wuhan in the name of the central government, and an independent investigation team formed by a third party to thoroughly investigate the matter, find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and give justice to Mr. Liao Zhongkai!

Mao Zedong was smoking one cigarette after another, his brows were tightly furrowed. He was not as excited as his comrades. On the surface, the assassination of Liao Zhongkai seemed to be another golden opportunity for the CCP to continue its political offensive against the KMT right wing.But there are many doubts about this matter.

First of all, the assassination happened on the day of Sun Yat-sen's funeral!Such behavior is simply a blasphemy against Sun Yat-sen.Although the big rightists of the Kuomintang were reactionary, they still treated Sun Yat-sen like a god.When will one day not be able to do murder?Do you have to do it after Sun Yat-sen's funeral?

Secondly, judging from the KMT's handling of the two issues of "peaceful reunification" and the central government, Sun Yat-sen's sudden death caught the five KMT leaders by surprise.Moreover, what they are currently pursuing is to maintain the stability of the party and the Kuomintang-controlled area so that they can consolidate their power.These people don't want to cause trouble now, otherwise they can completely deny the central government in Beijing and lift the national government to the position of the central government.I believe that with the relationship between Great Powers such as Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and Italy, and the national government, they will immediately recognize Wuhan as the center.

But if this matter was not the handiwork of the five big bosses of the Kuomintang, who would be the instigator behind the scenes?What is their purpose?Do you want the Kuomintang to fall into temporary chaos, and have no time to take into account the situation in the north, so that the north can win time to complete the reunification?In this way, could it be that the Soviet Union did it?

"Comrades, this is a huge conspiracy! It may also be the beginning of a counter-revolutionary coup d'état by the right wing of the Kuomintang. Our party should make a good plan to break with the right wing of the Kuomintang!" Li Lisan's slightly excited voice pulled Mao Zedong out of his thoughts come out.

Mao Zedong was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. His eyes scanned the meeting room, taking in all the expressions of the committee members attending the meeting. Most of the comrades looked stern.Miff of the Comintern looked excited and nodded frequently.

"Comrades, the Chinese revolution has reached the most critical moment." Li Lisan paused for a moment, adjusted his glasses, and looked at the people in the venue: "This despicable assassination has further exposed the true colors of the Kuomintang reactionaries. The workers, peasants, national bourgeoisie, and petty bourgeoisie in the Kuomintang-controlled areas will realize through this bloody lesson that the Kuomintang has been reduced to a dictatorial, reactionary, oligarchic party that only represents the interests of the monopoly bourgeoisie. Our party must fully grasp this opportunity and unite forces from various factions to form a united front against the Kuomintang reactionaries. Our ultimate goal is to use all necessary means, including military means, to overthrow the dictatorship of the Kuomintang reactionaries in the south! The party will be the leader and the core of this struggle!"

Mao Zedong couldn't help being a little surprised. The goal put forward by the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China is "economic construction", and all the current work is carried out around economic construction.Even this time, the main starting point for promoting the peaceful reunification of the north is to use the financial resources of the central government to speed up the construction of heavy industry.But Li Lisan's current policy is to break with the Kuomintang, and even...to start a war!Is it too risky to do so?

"Comrades." Comrade Miff, the supreme emperor of the Communist International, stood up slowly at this time, and took over Li Lisan's topic: "The Communist International believes that this is the time when the KMT is at its weakest. At the same time, it is also the time when the strengths of the North and the South are closest. After the death of Sun Yat-sen, the KMT will inevitably go through a period of chaos and a vacuum of power. The north has now achieved unity and has more than 100 million troops, which is comparable to the south in terms of military strength. If we do not firmly grasp this Opportunity, when they stabilize their position in the future, I am afraid they will regret it!"

After hearing Miff's analysis, Mao Zedong nodded slightly, but his eyebrows were tightened even more.Although he and the Communist International have always had differences, and he doesn't like Mif as the "overlord", he has to admit that the other party's analysis is reasonable.Now is indeed a time when the forces of the North and the South are relatively close.But the problem is that once the war starts, the CCP will have no way to reform the central army and the central government in the north in a short period of time.To be honest, we have to rely on President Zhang Zuolin and his Fengjun made of tofu to fight against the National Revolutionary Army led by Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo... Besides, can President Zhang Zuolin agree?

……

Beijing, Shuncheng Palace.

Zhang Zuolin, who got his wish and became the President of the Republic of China, is also having a headache about this matter!He walked back and forth restlessly in his study with his hands behind his back, and his back, which had been straightened for a while, hunched again.The two graying eyebrows were tightly knit into a ball.

Kenji Doihara, dressed in a Tang suit, was sitting on a chair at the lower end, looking at Zhang Zuolin coldly.During this period of time, Japan has gradually recovered from the blows of the "Shanghai public debt incident" and the "failure of the Shandong battle".It also successfully issued several issues of national debt in London. The North Korean Bank and Yokohama Specie Bank, which suffered heavy losses in the "public debt incident", also accepted capital injections from major British banks... and due to the needs brought about by the expansion of armaments and the secret expansion of the navy It also stimulated investment in heavy industry to a certain extent.After the sudden death of Sun Yat-sen, the revived Japan once again set its sights on the rich East Asian continent.This time after Liao Zhongkai was assassinated, he reacted even more quickly. Zhang Zuolin had just received an urgent call from his son from Wuhan, and the consultant Kenji Doihara appeared almost at the same time!But also a series of radical risk-taking proposals.

"Your Excellency, according to the information obtained by the empire, after Sun Yat-sen's death, there have been signs of splitting within the Kuomintang, and even the so-called five big bosses are fighting in secret. This time, the assassination of Liao Zhongkai will obviously accelerate the Kuomintang's disintegration. Splits, especially between the left and right of the Kuomintang, are very likely to break out of war! This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the central government led by the president.”

Zhang Zuolin looked hesitant, and after a long silence, he nodded lightly: "Mr. Advisor, I also know that this opportunity is rare. But the Kuomintang is powerful after all...even your country."

Kenji Doihara gritted his teeth, and his face became more gloomy: "Of course a united KMT is strong. But once Sun Yat-sen died, the KMT's unity no longer existed. Now it is even more difficult to split because of Liao Zhongkai's assassination." On the verge, your Excellency just needs to push along with the trend, and maybe this serious problem can be eradicated in one fell swoop! Even if it cannot be completely resolved, it can be greatly alleviated. Moreover, this is the common wish of the Empire of Japan and the Soviet Union! Therefore, the CCP will fully assist Your."

"Soviet Union..." Zhang Zuolin muttered softly, with a hint of surprise on his face: "With the joint support of the Soviet Union and your country, the strength of the Kuomintang is nothing to worry about... But, Mr. Advisor, what do you want us to do? What are you going to do? Are you going to send troops? If that's the case... Fengjun's current weapons and equipment and military pay are all..."

"Old fox!" Kenji Doihara cursed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Your Excellency, you don't need to really go to war, you just need to cooperate with the CCP and put on a posture of preparing to go to war. Send troops to the junction of Zhili and Henan. Then, in the name of the central government, call the whole country to request an international investigation team to thoroughly investigate the truth about the assassination of Mr. Liao Zhongkai, and give Mr. Liao justice!"

"That's all right?" Zhang Zuolin looked back at Kenji Doihara with a puzzled face.

Doihara smiled and nodded: "Exactly. The other CCP and the Soviet Union have their own arrangements, and we just cooperate with their actions."

Zhang Zuolin took a deep breath: "Alright then... I'll discuss with him what to do when Little Six comes back."

……

The two factions in Beijing are gearing up to take the opportunity to do something big.Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo, who were in Wuhan, split up. Chiang Kai-shek was responsible for the work of Zhang Xueliang, the eldest son of Zhang Xueliang, while Luo Yaoguo came to the small building of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China in Hankou to discuss secretly with Zhou Enlai and others, looking for countermeasures to calm the situation.

In the living room, everyone sat opposite each other, and there was only a cup of tea for the guests.

Luo Yaoguo has clearly denied any connection with the assassination of Liao Zhongkai, but at the same time he has firmly rejected the request for any party other than the national government to participate in the truth investigation.Zhou Enlai, Deng Yanda and others were all indignant when they heard this.

Before Luo Yaoguo arrived, Zhou Enlai and Deng Yanda had already discussed it properly.As long as the Kuomintang agrees to form a fact-finding team composed of neutral forces to investigate the assassination of Liao Zhongkai, this matter should not be expanded to avoid the outbreak of civil war.

To be honest, this request made by the CCP and the leftists of the Kuomintang is not unreasonable, right?Liao Zhongkai, the leftist leader of the Kuomintang, was assassinated. The rightist of the Kuomintang is actually the biggest suspect. Everyone knows that Liao Zhongkai and the rightist of the Kuomintang have fierce conflicts.If the police station controlled by the right wing of the Kuomintang is allowed to investigate the truth of the incident... Doesn't this mean that the suspect should be a policeman to investigate the case?Can the result of the investigation be convincing?Luo Yaoguo didn't understand such a simple truth.He insisted that the national government must investigate by itself, and no outsiders should interfere!Seeing Luo Yaoguo's attitude, even Zhou Enlai began to suspect that this matter might really be the work of the Kuomintang Military Intelligence Bureau...

"Luo Fuwen, don't you want to clarify yourself in front of the people of the whole country?" Zhou Enlai looked at Luo Yaoguo peacefully, and said softly: "Is it possible to do this... We, the CCP, the Feng faction, the leftists of the Kuomintang, and the Nationalist government will not participate in the investigation. It should be possible to form an investigation team composed of democrats and people from allies to conduct a truly neutral and impartial investigation, right?"

It was just a wry smile to answer such a friendly suggestion.

"Brother Enlai, the mastermind behind the whole conspiracy, I'm afraid we want to carry out some 'truth investigation', right? And most likely the truth has been prepared for someone like me!"

Luo Yaoguo vaguely remembered the uproar caused by the assassination of Liao Zhongkai in history. Hu Hanmin and Xu Chongzhi, the top leaders of the Kuomintang at the time, fell because of this.At the same time, the leftists of the Kuomintang and the CCP also after the Liao case... and in this time and space, the one who fell because of the Liao case is likely to be himself!Therefore, when Luo Yaoguo learned of Liao Zhongkai's assassination, he immediately instructed Wu Ziliang, the director of military intelligence, to intervene forcefully.

"But if you cover things up like this, wouldn't there be no 300 taels of silver here?" Deng Yanda's tone was a bit cold, and Luo Yaoguo's refusal to conduct an independent investigation was within his expectation.

Luo Yaoguo shook his head: "What if there is no 300 taels of silver here?"

"Aren't you afraid of the opposition of the people of the whole country?" Deng Yanda raised his eyebrows, turned his eyebrows coldly at Luo Yaoguo, and said sharply: "Luo Yaoguo! Don't you have a country or a nation in your heart? You just have to bear the peace left by the Prime Minister Has the stable situation been destroyed because of your stubbornness?"

Luo Yaoguo stared at Deng Yanda who was filled with righteous indignation, and after a long time, he burst into a smile: "Deng Zesheng, Deng Zesheng, it seems that we are all good actors in politics, and the truth of this matter is probably well known to the three of us here. You know it well. But haven't you two thought about what the black hand behind the whole incident wants to do?"

Zhou Enlai and Deng Yanda were taken aback when they heard the words, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.Luo Yaoguo exhaled lightly, and shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know who they are and what their real purpose is? But I can analyze the consequences of the whole incident with you two. If we really carry out The so-called 'truth investigation', the final result will definitely cause an earthquake in the KMT's high-level personnel, the presidium training system will be destroyed, the balance of power will be broken, and the KMT will lose its current unity and harmony, and even civil strife! And who will be this Where are the biggest beneficiaries of the chaos in the arena?"

After speaking, Luo Yaoguo looked at Zhou Enlai with meaningful eyes.

"Luo Yaoguo!" Zhou Enlai didn't do much, but Deng Yanda jumped up first: "What do you mean, are you trying to drive a wedge between our Kuomintang leftists and the CCP? Do you think... just a few words of yours can destroy the relationship between us for many years?" friendship?"

"Soviet Union." Luo Yaoguo just looked at Deng Yanda calmly, and softly highlighted two words.

This time it was Zhou Enlai's turn to get excited, and he shouted: "This is slander! Mr. Liao Zhongkai is also a friend of the Soviet Union, how could the Soviet Union kill its own friend! It is really ridiculous."

Luo Yaoguo looked at the two of them, and said indifferently: "Then let's talk about Japan... The two of you should have been aware of Japan's conspiracy in the Northeast, right? If the National Revolutionary Army, which is currently the most powerful in China, breaks out civil strife, the Japanese will Take the opportunity to spread wild things in Manchuria...do you have a way to deal with it?" At this point, Luo Yaoguo paused for a while, and then said meaningfully: "The current central government is in charge of your party and the Feng faction! Your central government is guarding the soil Responsible!"

Zhou Enlai was silent. After a little calculation in his heart, he knew that Luo Yaoguo's words had some truth.If the Kuomintang really becomes chaotic, it will certainly be beneficial to the development of the CCP in the north, but at the same time it will also be beneficial to the aggression and expansion of Japanese imperialism!And what's worse is that the CCP is now the main participant in the central government.Once Japan invaded the Northeast, the responsibility of the CCP to resist the war to the end would be unhesitating.If the CCP does not fight or even loses the country and loses its land... the central government will be the target of everyone!At that time, once the righteousness and fame are gone, the princes of the four directions will naturally no longer submit. This Beijing city is really going to be turned into a furnace!

Deng Yanda also remained silent, thinking about gains and losses in his heart.Luo Yaoguo seemed determined to cover up the "Liao case".As for the other bigwigs in the Kuomintang presidium, except Luo Yiqun who is a good gentleman and has a good relationship with Liao Zhongkai, everyone else has a tense relationship with Liao Zhongkai. Naturally, there are suspicions, or the possibility of being framed.Most of Luo Yaoguo's "cover" can get their approval.But looking at it from another perspective, the right wing of the Kuomintang has covered up the Liao case and it has also given the left wing of the Kuomintang ammunition to attack politically.The leftists of the Kuomintang can take advantage of this incident to make unlimited plans, and even play freely, while the rightists of the Kuomintang, who have the notoriety of "murderers", can only stay on the defensive for a long time.

There was a suppressed tension in the room, Zhou Enlai remained silent, Deng Yanda tapped the table with his fingers, and Luo Yaoguo closed his eyes and rested his mind.

There was a "bang".The door of the conference room was suddenly knocked open.Standing at the door was Peng Pai, the new Secretary of the Southern Bureau.

As soon as the three of them looked up, they saw Peng Pai standing there with a face full of indignation, pointing at Luo Yaoguo, trembling slightly.It seemed that he wanted to scold, but he couldn't think of any words for a while.

"Comrade Peng Pai, what happened?" Zhou Enlai frowned tightly, staring at Peng Pai who suddenly barged in.

"They! They actually used the students from the Central Military Academy to attack the leftist comrades gathered in the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall! Many leftist comrades were injured..."

Chapter 0463 Upheaval (Part [-])

While Luo Yaoguo was fighting with Zhou Enlai and Deng Yanda, Chiang Kai-shek's resting hut saw another scene.In the living room, a pair of good brothers are having a drink and talking happily.The good brothers are naturally Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang. At this moment, the two have already discussed it and are going to choose a date to ask for help.

In another time and space, Chiang Kai-shek is actually No. [-]'s master who can fool around. All the warlords at that time were also played and applauded by his old man.If he hadn't met the golden combination of the CCP, this world might have belonged to him, Lao Jiang.And the Kuomintang at the moment, whether it's big foreign money or guns and planes, isn't it turning up dozens of times?Isn't coaxing a Young Marshal Zhang just like playing?

"I said goodbye to my younger brother in the 15th year of the Republic of China. In a blink of an eye, things have changed, and even the prime minister has left us." Lao Jiang's eyes were slightly red, and he repeatedly sighed with emotion.

Zhang Xueliang also sighed: "It's really not a holiday. After Mr. Sun left, the situation that had just stabilized had signs of chaos again. Even Mr. Liao..."
