Republic of China game

Seeing that the committee members in the venue nodded frequently, Zhou Enlai let out a sigh of relief, took a sip from the teacup on the table, and then continued: "In addition, we should also take advantage of the opportunity of taking control of the central government and use the central financial resources to Accelerate the pace of construction of the Baotou heavy industry base. Only by building our own heavy industry and military industry can the cause of our party be invincible."

At this time, Liu Shaoqi, who was the vice premier of the state, shook his head slightly: "At present, our party is only in power temporarily. I don't know when that Zhang Zuolin will come back again, and he will allow us to use the money from the central government to run our industry? Besides, this The central government's finances are actually tight. If you want to raise a large sum of money, you have to issue bonds. "

"Comrades." Miff's somewhat gloomy voice suddenly rang out: "What if our old friend Zhang Zuolin never comes back again?"

As soon as these words came out, the meeting hall fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to the face of Mifu, the overlord of the Communist International, as if they wanted to see some clues from that somewhat gloomy face. Come.

……

Shuncheng Prince's Mansion.

Zhang Zuolin, the President of the Republic of China, is sitting silently opposite the Japanese Emperor Kenji Dohihara in his study room.Both of them had gloomy faces and furrowed eyebrows.As soon as Kenji Doihara heard that Zhang Zuolin was going back to Fengtian to "recover his illness", he rushed over anxiously, but he didn't bring any gifts... It seemed that he was not visiting the sick.

At this time, Zhang Zuolin's back was very bent, his head was drooping, his face was sallow, and he coughed from time to time. He really looked like a "sick man".

"It seems that Your Excellency the President is really seriously ill." Kenji Doihara squeezed out a stiff smile: "Do you want to invite our Japanese doctors to treat you?"

Zhang Zuolin waved his hands with difficulty, and sighed deeply: "Oh...no need, getting older...of course my health will be bad. It seems that my time is about to come...Thinking about this life, it can be regarded as a beautiful life After a fight, I should be content. I have no other wish right now, but I just want to go back to Fengtian’s hometown, and I will die on my own territory. Mr. Consultant, do you think this is the reason?”

Seeing Zhang Zuolin looking like he was dying, Kenji Doihara couldn't help but frowned.Right now is the most critical moment in the North-South confrontation in China. The Kuomintang has just expelled the CCP’s agencies in the south, and the CCP no longer recognizes the Kuomintang Rightist Center in Wuhan.A great war seemed to be about to break out, but Zhang Zuolin couldn't afford to fall ill at this critical moment...he had to go back to Fengtian to recuperate!If Zhang Zuolin alone went to Fengtian to recuperate his illness, Kenji Doihara would not bother to pay attention to him, but the plan of the Fengjun to enter the pass and go south was silently stranded, and even the Fengjun who had already been in the pass were being transferred back one after another in the past two days northeast!Could it be that they are also going to recuperate?

Kenji Doihara took a deep breath: "Your Excellency, please don't say such depressing words. You are only 54 years old this year, and you are in your prime. And there is still a great cause of unifying China waiting for you to complete. Now this cause It's a critical moment, how can you leave Beijing?"

"Unify China?" Zhang Zuolin smiled wryly, and raised his head: "Don't make fun of me, Lao Zhang, how much do I have? How is it possible to unify China? Not to mention how capable the Kuomintang army in the south is, Even the Communist Party in the north is not something our Feng Faction can handle..."

"...Let me tell you the truth, more than half of my old Zhang's illness was caused by these Communists. With them beside my bed, I couldn't eat or sleep soundly. Do you know? They are the Communist Party Now I am one with Feng Yuxiang, not far west of Beijing is the boundary of Chahar Feng Yuxiang. And there is a division of the CCP in Beijing... If they want to touch me, the president, they will be It's as easy as crushing an ant to death, do you think I can stay in this Beijing?"

Kenji Doihara said coldly: "If the president feels that Beijing is not safe, he can go to Tianjin to recuperate. He does not have to go back to the Northeast. You can command the central army in Tianjin to exert pressure on the Kuomintang rightists. Now is the critical moment. If you let The right wing of the Kuomintang has slowed down, and both the Feng faction and the CCP will face a catastrophe.”

Zhang Zuolin still looked half-dead and dispirited, and sighed weakly: "Mr. Advisor, I understand what you said, but you don't know the combat effectiveness of our Fengjun... How can we beat the Kuomintang? If you don't fight now It is still a paper tiger, if it is defeated... I am afraid that the Kuomintang will soon take the opportunity to unify China, and then your country's special interests in Manchuria will not be guaranteed."

Kenji Doihara's eyes widened, just looking at Zhang Zuolin.The room was silent, dead silent.At the end, I heard Kenji Doihara let out a long sigh: "I have already understood the meaning of your Excellency President. After thinking about it carefully, your point of view is also very reasonable. It's just... such a god-given opportunity wasted like this, really. It's a pity."

Hearing Kenji Doihara let go, Zhang Zuolin let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on his face.Although veteran Zhang has made up his mind, he would rather turn his back on the Japanese than fight the Kuomintang to the death.But if this Japanese backstage boss can not be offended, it is better not to offend as much as possible... In the current situation, it is best for the Feng faction to find a balance between the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, and the Japanese. Only in this way can the existence of the Feng faction be guaranteed.

……

April 18, 23th year of the Republic of China.In the waiting hall of Beijing Qianmen Railway Station, many leading figures from various factions in Beijing have already gathered.The entrance of the station is covered with a thick red carpet, which has been spread from the gate to the platform.Martial law has also been sealed off around the station, with one post every five steps and one sentry post every ten steps.Today, the guards are officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the CCP!Perhaps it is God's will in the dark, and this meaningful designation has also belonged to the CCP in this time and space.However, it is slightly different from the poorly equipped but high-spirited "Tuba Road" in history.The Eighth Route Army in front of us is the elite of the Central Committee!Because in this time and space, the name of the central government belongs to the Communist Party.

About 7.62 people, wearing big-brimmed hats inlaid with red five-pointed stars and neat gray-blue military uniforms, stood silently on the road near Beijing Qianmen Station.What he held tightly in his hand was a well-polished rifle, and it was not a "Made in All Nations", but all Type [-] rifles just produced by Baotou Hongqi Arsenal.Like the National Thirteenth Type of the Kuomintang, it is also a [-]mm caliber, imitating the Russian water rifle.At the moment, a sharp bayonet is also attached, and it looks majestic and solemn under the bright sunlight.

Several Buick cars produced by GM China came along the street.On both sides of the car are the fierce cavalrymen of the Fourth Army Cavalry Brigade wearing steel helmets.With a Soviet-made dragoon carbine on his back and a bright saber in his right hand, he surrounded the car with a solemn expression and slowly advanced.

The Beijing residents, who were all onlookers on the street, seemed to be stunned by the elite who appeared almost overnight, and talked a lot.

"See, this is the elite of the communist army who wants to compete with the rightists of the Kuomintang for the world! Look at this posture, look at the murderous spirit of these soldiers, it is much stronger than President Zhang's Fengjun!"

"They are not only elites, but also love the people like children! What are the 'three major disciplines and eight major considerations'? They even make up songs and sing them. Whenever the farming season is busy, they will also help the local people to do farm work in their homes. If you stay in someone's house, you will help clean up... I have never seen such a benevolent army since ancient times, and I think this world must belong to the Communist Party."

"That's not necessarily the case...the Communist Army is good, but that depends on the person. What they call an 'army of the poor' is the best for ordinary people like us. If you meet someone Well-to-do...but they are going to steal from the rich and help the poor! I heard that Lubei is in this period...so now all the wealthy people in the north are selling their houses and land, and they are running to the south after selling their properties! Didn't you see that during this period of time, the city of Beijing? Do shops close every day? It is said that there are more people running in Tianjin, and the boat and train tickets are all sold out!"

"Oh, it's no wonder that President Zhang is also running away. He is also rich. I heard that there are millions of acres of fertile land outside the customs! There are banks, factories and mines in his family! If it's his turn to kill the rich and help the poor... Shouldn't they be beheading all over the house?"

"Hush...don't talk nonsense, be careful if people hear you as a counter-revolutionary! President Zhang Da is the target of the united front, do you understand the united front? It's... yes, it's different anyway, and I definitely won't be killed. poor."

"Then why did he run away? You can't stay in Beijing? Do you have to go outside the pass? How cold is it there?"

"I guess... is to make room for the Communist Party? If he doesn't leave, how will Vice President Mao become a regular?"

Naturally, Zhang Zuolin couldn't hear this, he just leaned on the seat of the car, closed his eyes and meditated.Yang Yuting was by his side, seeing that he was out of his mind, he smiled and relieved him and said, "Marshal, don't think so much, the matter has reached this point, and the city of Beijing is already a den of right and wrong. Let’s get out of the customs first and run our hometown in Northeast China well, and neither the Communist Party nor the Kuomintang can do anything about us.”

Zhang Zuolin opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Yang Yuting, and said with a wry smile: "Linge, do you really think they will have nothing to do with us? Have you seen these communist troops? It's only been a long time, and they are so elite. What if Let them stay in Beijing for a year or two, completely digest Feng Huanzhang's Third Army, and reorganize them into such an elite... The industrial base in Baotou has also been built. Our good days are coming to an end, right? "

Hearing the desolate tone of General Zhang, Yang Yuting's nose soured, and tears were about to fall.He couldn't figure it out, how did the Kuomintang and the Communist Party train their troops?In the blink of an eye, elite soldiers and powerful generals came out continuously.As for how Fengjun practiced, it seemed that this was the case...

Chapter 0465 Upheaval ([-])

"Runzhi, do you think our team is much better now?"

At this time, in another car in the convoy, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai were also watching the elite troops outside the car window.Since the end of the war with Japan in the 17th year of the Republic of China, the Red Army of the Communist Party of China has started regularization and modernization.After a year of hard work, this armed force belonging to the CCP, which has just been reorganized into the Fourth Army of the Central Army, has become the world's first-class powerful army!Uh, this is the evaluation of Comrade Chuikov, the Soviet military adviser.From Zhou En's point of view, it should be relatively fair and objective.Some time ago, the spirit of the National Revolutionary Army he saw in Wuhan seemed to be inferior to the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in front of him.Just standing like this between the two can make people feel the gap.If we really fight...it should be about the same, right?

Mao Zedong smiled lightly and nodded, his eyes still fixed on those elite soldiers belonging to the CCP.He just said in a voice that was almost inaudible: "The elite is the elite, but there are too few of them. If we can take over Fengjun at some point in the future, and practice hard like this, we don't have to be afraid of the Kuomintang rightists." .”

Although the voice was low, Zhou Enlai had already strained his ears to hear every word, with a confident smile on his face: "Runzhi... as long as we can give full play to the role of the united front, sooner or later we will be able to transform the Fengjun into a people's army." From the army. I believe that General Zhang Hanqing is not the same person as his father, and he really wants to save the country and the people."

Mao Zedong frowned slightly: "We have a united front, and they will buy it! This time, it seems that Zhang Xueliang took the banknotes and aircraft and cannons from the Kuomintang, so Fengjun will change his mind? Well, it's not me talking too much, these warlords Politicians and the bourgeoisie are class dissidents after all, and we cannot have too high expectations of them. The key to the success of our party’s cause is party building and the second is the building of the people’s army. Others can only be supplemented and cannot be regarded as the main work. caught."

"...My idea is to expand our lineage troops. On the one hand, it is the strength of the Fourth and Eighth Route Army. On the other hand, it can directly take over the armed forces of the warlords and completely reform them. This kind of army is the backbone. Only when the backbone is strong, The branches and leaves will flourish. You see, the National Revolutionary Army is now the backbone of the direct line. After Sun Yat-sen died this time, so many factions joined forces to poach corners. What happened? Isn’t it in vain? What about the big figures of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee? I write letters to the south every day, and now I haven’t pulled a single soldier over? That’s 60 people with one heart, and it’s scary to think about it.”

Zhou Enlai frowned slightly: "Runzhi, I know what you said. But how do we expand our lineage right now? Besides, the troops under the central government now come from various factions. If we want to openly annex other people's The army... I am afraid that if one of them is moved, the rest will defect to the Kuomintang. What will we use to maintain the situation? You know... Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Wu Peifu, and Wang Zijian from the northwest, right now Willing to hang up the signboard of our central government is actually afraid of being annexed by the Kuomintang. If we do the same..."

Mao Zedong's eyebrows became more and more frowned: "There are now 100 million so-called central troops in the north! But our direct descendants are less than 20. How can we go on like this? And how much tax do we have even if we have the central government? Every year How much will they eat? Enlai, have you calculated this account yet?"

Zhou Enlai also frowned tightly, and waved his hands: "Let's talk about this later, let's take it one step at a time. The most important thing right now is to ease the tension with the South. Once the Feng Faction withdraws, we will have no way to deal with it." What kind of pressure did they exert? And...their National Revolutionary Army still seems to be firmly controlled by the right, and it seems that Deng Zesheng's influence is still limited."

Mao Zedong nodded, fell silent for a while, then lowered his voice and asked, "Then how do you plan to deal with the aftermath of this matter? From Miff's tone, it seems that someone is going to get rid of Zhang Zuolin. I don't know if it's the Japanese... or the Communist Party." International? If the Japanese want to attack, I’m afraid there will be countermeasures later, right? We have to be on guard.”

Zhou Enlai smiled lightly: "That's why we have to find a way to ease the relationship with the south, and the negotiations on peaceful reunification should continue, which will also be a check on Japan's ambitions. Fortunately, we didn't fight them this time, otherwise the three eastern provinces would be lost." It's settled, if that happens, our Communist Party will be roasted on the fire."

Mao Zedong glanced at Zhou Enlai, who seemed to have a plan in mind, sighed softly, took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked it in one gulp.

There are also troops inside and outside the train station. Zhang Zuolin's Fengjun Guards in yellow military uniforms, and the Eighth Route Army Guards in gray-blue uniforms.State Premier Zeng Qi and Army Minister Wu Peifu led the civil and military officials in Beijing to stand in the waiting hall of the station to welcome President Zhang Zuolin.I don't know if it's because of some ominous premonition, or because once Zhang Zuolin leaves, Beijing will be ruled by the Communist Party... In short, this group of dignitaries in Beijing all have gloomy faces and frowns with.It didn't look like a farewell, but rather a funeral.It wasn't until Zhang Zuolin's convoy drove into the station, and the military music was whimpering, that all the officials, as if waking up from a dream, squeezed out stiff smiles, and went forward to shake hands with President Zhang one by one to say goodbye.

At 18:23 p.m. on April 22, 80, President of the Republic of China Zhang Zuolin and his entourage included Jin Yunpeng, Pan Fu, He Fenglin, Liu Zhe, Mo Huide, Yu Guohan, Yan Zepu, Zhang Zuolin's sixth concubine, and his third son Zhang Xuezeng, Japan Kazuki Machino, a Japanese consultant, and I boarded a special train to Mukden.The special car has 8 cars. It is a "float car" used by the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty. The decoration is very gorgeous. The No. [-] chartered car he took is in the middle. Zhe, Mo Dehui, Yu Guohan and other entourage.There is also a line of ballast cars in front of the special car as an avant-garde.At [-] o'clock in the evening, the special train departs from Beijing Railway Station.Heading eastward like lightning...

At 24:5 a.m. on April 30th, when Zhang Zuolin’s special train passed the Sankong Bridge at the intersection of Jingfeng Railway and Nanman Railway, the train was blown up by the Japanese Kwantung Army’s pre-buried explosives. Zhang Zuolin was seriously injured and sent back to Fengtian After that, he died that day.Because the incident took place east of the Huanggutun Railway Station, it is also called the Huanggutun Incident in the history of this time and space.Almost eleven months later than in history.And the significance of the Huanggutun incident is even more profound, because Zhang Zuolin's successor will be Mao Zedong!Compared with another time and space, it is a full 20 years earlier.

……

East Lake, Wuhan, Central Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang.In the meeting room, only the fragrance of top-quality oolong tea is slowly lingering.The five leaders of the Kuomintang were sitting together again, holding the secret telegram just received in their hands, watching with relish.

"Hehe... Now it's all right, Mao Zedong of the CCP may soon become the president of the Republic of China! The Communist Party is the ruling party, and our Kuomintang should be humble and small. What do you think? Fight them? Or hold your nose and admit it, and then see how they treat this poor family?"

It was Hu Hanmin who spoke. His ears have become much clearer these days.The leftists of the Kuomintang have already gone north to defect to the CCP, and they will start anew in Beijing to become a democratic party that participates in and discusses state affairs.Wuhan is almost dominated by the rightists of the Kuomintang.The five big bosses restrained each other again, and they lived in peace for a while, and they lived a leisurely life.Until just now, the Military Intelligence Bureau sent an urgent and confidential telegram, informing the news that President Zhang Zuolin was assassinated and probably died.The reason why I say "very likely" is because Fengtian's Marshal's Mansion has been tightly sealed by the Fengjun, and no news can be passed on. Naturally, Wan Yanhao, the person in charge of the Northeast Station, can do nothing. The tense atmosphere came to guess.

"Of course it's impossible to admit it." Luo Yaoguo sneered, and took up the topic: "The Communist Party doesn't recognize us as the legal center of the Kuomintang right now, so we can't do anything even if we want to recognize Mao Zedong, the great president?"

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Luo Yaoguo, who was gloating, and sneered, "Brother Fuwen, I guess you wouldn't agree to fight them, right? Then tell me, how should we face this crisis right now?"

"Critical situation?" Luo Yaoguo smiled heavily, picked up the oolong tea on the table, took a sip, and shook his head: "What kind of dangerous situation do we have? The one that is dangerous is also the center in Beijing! This seat is like a stove right now, and anyone who sits on it wants to Unlucky. Let's continue to 'build the city high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly'. The CCP will deal with the affairs in the north. We only need to manage the south well, build heavy industry step by step, and slow down the land reform in all provinces. Slowly unfolding, let the Prime Minister's Three People's Principles be realized on our territory first. In this way...we will be invincible."

"But... how do we deal with the central government in Beijing? Should we just ignore it?" Hu Hanmin frowned slightly: "How about we also set up a central government to play against them?"

Luo Yaoguo looked around the conference room, taking in all the expressions of the people, even Luo Yiqun's eyes showed a hint of eagerness.Luo Yaoguo sighed lightly: "It's not impossible to set up another central government, but right now is not the time. According to intelligence, the Japanese are very active in Manchuria during this period, and have set up six major security zones in the area where the Manchurian Railway belongs. There are quite a lot of troops, and the Second Division of the Kwantung Army has already started to mobilize. And the murder of Zhang Zuolin is probably their work." Having said this, Luo Yaoguo's tone suddenly became more serious: "If the Japanese set up a new Central Committee in our At the moment when the government launched an incident to seize Manchuria, Beijing is of course sitting on the stove, but we cannot escape the same. Therefore, now is not the best time to establish a new central government. The best way for us now is to We will adapt to changing circumstances, neither recognize the central government in Beijing, nor establish another central government, and wait until the situation calms down."

Hu Hanmin sighed silently in his heart, Luo Yaoguo's analysis made sense, most of the people who assassinated Zhang Zuolin this time were Japanese, and only they could do such a trick.After they killed Zhang Zuolin, it is very likely that they will have a backup.If at this juncture the Kuomintang sets up a new central government in the south, in case something goes wrong in the Northeast...they will follow the central government in Beijing and take the blame.On the contrary, the Kuomintang continues to be the party with its tail between its legs, and if Japan moves to the Northeast again, the central government in Beijing will be responsible for defending the territory, while the local governments in the south will naturally not have to bear any responsibility, just make a high-profile statement.

"Then what should we do if the Japanese really attack the Northeast?" Luo Yiqun asked solemnly.
