Republic of China game

Chiang Kai-shek also listened solemnly, nodding while listening, but from the corner of his eyes, he was always staring at Luo Yaoguo who was sitting on the other side.

Luo Yaoguo and Sun Ke sat side by side today. After Sun Yat-sen's death, Luo Yaoguo seemed to have been wooing Mr. Sun, and now there was a hint of forming a party.The two had been chatting with relish just now, but they only spoke Cantonese for a while and then came to a large section of English dialogue.Although Lao Jiang could hear it, he couldn't understand a word.

"Brother Fuwen, what do you think about turning our national government into a central government?" As soon as Hu Hanmin finished speaking, Chiang Kai-shek did not express his opinion, but kicked the ball to Luo Yaoguo.

"Okay! I completely agree." Luo Yaoguo bowed slightly to Hu Hanmin, raised his fingers, and said quietly: "It has been a while since Zhang Zuolin was killed, and the Japanese don't seem to have any signs of doing anything in the Northeast. It seems that there will be no problems for the time being. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade the national government to the central government, so that it will be easier to deal with those foreign devils. But there are still some problems that we need to take into account..."

"One is, should we insist on one China? When dealing with the big powers, should we ask them to sever diplomatic relations with the North? Second, how should we handle the relationship between us and the powerful faction in the North? It is to win them over to the Is it better to be under the national government? Or is it better to let them stay under the Beijing Central Committee and cause trouble for the CCP? Third, what kind of relationship should we maintain with the CCP? This year is the first year of the five-year plan. After all, our focus is on Developing the economy and heavy industry... It is best to avoid civil war. Fourth, how will the Chinese Communist Party respond to our new government? And how should we deal with it?"

Hearing Luo Yaoguo's words, Hu Hanmin could not hide a smile on his face.This central government seems to be settled. As for the one, two, three, and four after it is done, it is natural that "little brothers" such as Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo will find a way to settle it.He nodded with a smile: "Brother Fuwen is indeed thoughtful and thoughtful, he is worthy of being the pillar of our party and country! Then I would like to ask you to give us some advice?"

Luo Yaoguo nodded with a smile. Naturally, the few points he raised just now had already been prepared, and he just came up with them at this moment: "The suggestion of the Ministry of Staff is that we should insist on one China to the outside world, and we should require foreign countries with which we have diplomatic relations to sever diplomatic relations with Beijing." relationship. I estimate that most European and American countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, and Italy will recognize our central government. The Soviet Union and Japan... probably will recognize Beijing, so we cannot establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and Japan, and there is no need to strive for diplomatic recognition from the Soviet Union and Japan. As for The relationship between us and the powerful faction in the north should be cautious. The youth army can find ways to win over, but Wang Zixing is afraid that he will not give up his own army... I will talk to him about this. Regarding the Northeast Army, we My suggestion is to let them stay on Beijing's account..."

"Why is that?" Luo Yaoguo was interrupted by Lao Jiang before he finished speaking.

"Jie Gong, the location of the Northeast Army is very sensitive. It is sandwiched between the Soviet Union, Japan, and the CCP. It is not bordered by our national government. If the Northeast is brought under the banner of the national government, we will be powerless to rescue if any accident happens in the future. If the Northeast is lost, we will be stigmatized and become the object of the people's disdain. Therefore, the Ministry of Staff recommends that the Northeast Army temporarily stay under the banner of the Beijing Central Government, and we only need to do the work of General Zhang Hanqing in secret. "

"You mean to let Zhang Hanqing act as a surprise soldier during our Northern Expedition in the future?" Chiang Kai-shek was obviously a bit misunderstood, and he whispered to himself: "This is a good plan. By the way...and that one Wang Zhongyi also asked him to pretend to be the Communist Party for a few more years, and then let him and Zhang Hanqing turn against the water and join our Northern Expedition Army in a pincer attack from the north to the south! The Communist Party can be wiped out in at most three months! By the way, there is another Yan Baichuan we want How to arrange? Do you want to win over?"

"Yan Baichuan..." Luo Yaoguo's eyebrows gradually frowned.Shanxi, ruled by Yan Xishan, is probably a powder keg right now.If Shanxi is not on the map of the central government in Beijing, I am afraid that there will be no foundation for the establishment of the country.The Kuomintang wants to bring Shanxi under its banner, and the CCP will go to war whatever it says, and it will definitely be a full-scale civil war at that time!

"Mr. Zhan (Hu Hanmin), Mr. Jie, we still have to treat the Shanxi issue with caution, and it's best not to win over them for the time being. But... we can't just ignore it, we'd better help Yan Baichuan properly."

Chapter 0481 Central Plains small war (a)

January 19th, 29th year of the Republic of China is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. Today is New Year's Eve, which is commonly known as "New Year's Eve".

Probably because the "Legislative Yuan" controlled by the Kuomintang officially passed a resolution a few days before New Year's Eve, declaring the National Government as the only legal government of the Republic of China.The streets of Wuhan are also much more prosperous and bustling than they were during the Spring Festival last year. Lanterns were hung on several major streets, and colorful strips were wrapped around the trees.The city, which is bleak in winter, insists on embellishing it with a rich and prosperous style.

Luo Yaoguo stood on the top of Guishan Mountain in Hanyang with his hands in his sleeves, looking at the elaborately decorated capital.Uh, right now Wuhan is theoretically the capital of the Republic of China.Moreover, major European and American countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, and Poland have already recognized it immediately.Only the embassies of the Soviet Union and Japan remain in Dongjiaominxiang, Beijing.But... the split of the country is already an indisputable fact!Moreover, this split situation has never happened before in history, it is completely the result of Luo Yaoguo's reckless reform of history!

However, in history, since the end of 1931, there was also a confrontation between the Chinese Soviet Republic and the Republic of China.And it is the whole of Chinese political life!This is the conclusion made by Comrade Wang Ming in another time and space.And it's similar here, Mao Zedong's New Year's speech has similar words... It was leaked by a KMT leftist leader who works in the Beijing central government!Naturally, Luo Yaoguo knew about it immediately.This is almost a declaration of war!I really don't know which fork this history will take?

Luo Yaoguo sighed softly, turned around, and saw Zeng Qi hugging the sable fur, standing aside with his hands behind his back, looking up at the gray sky above his head.Dressed in style, suave and uncluttered, he really looks like a unparalleled national scholar.A somewhat ugly round face was darkened, and his brows were furrowed. It looked like he was concerned about the country and the people.Uh, currently all politicians except the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are in this PO role.Some people, such as Duan Qirui and Wu Peifu, who lived in Shanghai, published articles in newspapers every now and then, exhorting the North and the South to be patient and not to embark on the road of launching a civil war by mistake again and again.

Watching Luo Yaoguo turn around, Zeng Qi also put away the air of worrying about the country and the people, and immediately changed into a smiling face, and nodded slightly: "Brother Fuwen, why are you sighing after the Chinese New Year?" ? Are you starting to worry about the country and the people?"

What does it mean to start worrying about the country and the people?Luo Yaoguo glanced at his so-called aide, and nodded helplessly.Although the Kuomintang and the CCP may not have the idea of ​​​​going to war immediately.But the situation is becoming more and more tense, it can be said that the sword is already on the verge of breaking out.Six divisions of the Kuomintang have already begun to mobilize, and they are expected to reach full capacity within half a month.In addition, two aviation divisions were also deployed to the airports along the Yellow River.The CCP has also started preparing for war. According to the latest information obtained, the Suiyuan Production and Construction Corps has now put down its hoe.Instead of plowing the dry yellow land, I took up arms again and prepared to fight.

"Now we and the CCP don't want to fight, but we have to put on a posture of fighting to intimidate each other. I'm worried... Maybe the guns go off and a big war breaks out!" Luo Yaoguo walked slowly. Step by step, the frown became tighter and tighter: "Brother Mu Han, you and Zhou Enlai, the current head of the CCP, are old acquaintances. Can you take a trip to Beijing for me?"

Hearing Luo Yaoguo's heavy tone, Zeng Qi also darkened his face, and sighed: "Brother Fuwen just doesn't want to fight, but others may not want to fight! I'm not talking about you. On this issue, you, Luo Fuwen, are a bit wishful thinking."

"Oh?" Luo Yaoguo was taken aback when he heard the words, stopped and looked up at Zeng Qi.Zeng Qi's face was slightly livid, and he talked eloquently: "The confrontation between the North and the South in China today is actually a unified south versus a divided north. Whether the CCP is going to fight for the world, or retreat to defend itself, the current territory is the same. Not enough! They at least need to unify the north of the Yellow River and then unite with the Northeast Army to be able to compete with the Kuomintang. If the current situation is maintained... it is just waiting for death! How can the CCP Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong's great talents wait for death? "

Luo Yaoguo took a deep breath, and his brows became tighter and tighter.The current situation in the CCP is indeed a bit sinister.Although it is not known how many times stronger than another time and space.But compared with the national government that has already qualified to join the "Naval Arms Limitation Treaty"...their strength is really insignificant.Even if the Baotou Heavy Industry Base is built, it is only 20 tons of steel.At that time, South China will have almost 500 million tons of steel!

Zeng Qi smiled coldly, and began to analyze with his fingers again: "Now most of the land north of the Yellow River in Guannei is already under the control of the CCP. Only half of Shanxi is left in the hands of Yan Xishan, and northern Henan is under the control of the Kuomintang. With the current strength, it is extremely irrational to fight against the Kuomintang in northern Henan. Therefore, their next goal must be Shanxi! Only by defeating Shanxi can their Zhili, Suiyuan, and Northern Shaanxi become one. If they are destroyed again Lose Wang Zhongyi's Seventh Route Army...the CCP is considered invincible. Therefore, the battle of Shanxi is inevitable! It's just when will it break out."

Luo Yaoguo nodded, obviously agreeing with Zeng Qi's opinion.The CCP's idea of ​​Shanxi has a long history. As early as the Northwest New Army era, Mao Zedong had been thinking about attacking Shanxi.Moreover, in the 15th year of the Republic of China, it also aggressively attacked Shanxi, but it ended hastily because of the subsequent Middle East Road War.

"Brother Mu Han, just speak up if you have any thoughts." Luo Yaoguo saw Zeng Qi's hesitant expression, and he already knew that he was going to be in the middle of winter, so he didn't want to stay at home and climb the mountain with him. Playing, there must be something to say to yourself.

Zeng Qi glanced back at the guards who were following him from a distance, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Brother Fuwen, do you think Hu Hanmin, Chiang Kai-shek, and Xu Chongzhi will just watch the CCP take Shanxi and die?" Are you indifferent? If Yan Xishan can't hold on anymore, ask the KMT Central Committee for help... In the "big brother meeting", your uncles and nephews only have two votes! Now it is impossible to stop the war in Shanxi, but a full-scale civil war is yet to come. There is hope to stop it. The way is to arm the Jin army as soon as possible before the CCP launches an attack, and at the same time help them store food and ammunition and build city defenses.”

Luo Yaoguo shook his head, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth: "The Jin army's combat effectiveness is not enough, they can't hold it. At most, delay for a little time..."

Zeng Qi sneered and said: "It is enough to delay for a while. The CCP's victory in attacking Shanxi is quick. Not to mention that the Kuomintang is eyeing the south, and the current situation of the CCP's current shortage of food and wages cannot sustain long-term combat. Yan Lao If Xi can drag on for a few months, there will be a turning point. At worst, Zhang Hanqing will come forward to mediate. It will allow Yan Laoxi to linger on for a while. If old Yan can linger, our national government will naturally You can sit back and relax.”

……

If we say that the most innocent person involved in the turmoil caused by the dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the dispute between the North and the South Central Government is Yan Xishan, a land tycoon in Shanxi.If Lao Yan in another time and space still has the side of a reactionary warlord, then in this time and space, Yan Xishan right now is purely a harmless old white rabbit!In recent years, Yan Laobaitu has tucked his tail and acted as a warlord to the outside world. He nodded and bowed to the Communist Party, the Kuomintang, and Fengzhang to accompany him carefully.Internally, they are dedicated to people's livelihood, building their hometown, and benefiting their hometown.It seems to be a little bit afraid that the people's lives will be too hard and be bewitched by the Communist Party, right?

But even if he gritted his teeth and pretended to be innocent, it would only last until [-] A.D.The warlord chair under Yan Laoxi's buttocks seems to either be obediently handed over to the Kuomintang, or taken over by the Communist Party for communism!

Things have come to this point, but Yan Xishan is still unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history.Neither the "Minister of Energy" in Wuhan nor the "Vice Chairman of the Political Consultative Conference" in Beijing is what Yan Laoxi wants.A generation of heroes who have tasted the taste of dominating one side will never admit defeat until the last moment.

It's a pity that Shanxi is too small, and the Jin army is too weak, without the help of foreign aid.It is impossible to survive this turmoil until the day when the troubled times end!

Footsteps sounded softly outside the door, Yan Xishan put down the documents in his hands, stood up and walked to the door of the study to wait.I saw the secretary carefully open the door.Zhao Daiwen, General Counselor of the Jin Army, and Yang Yongtai, a special envoy of the Southern Nationalist Government, walked in side by side.

"Mr. Changqing came from a long way, and Mr. Yan was too busy to meet him, disrespectful, disrespectful." Yan Xishan cupped his hands and apologized to Yang Yongtai with a smile on his face.

Yang Yongtai laughed, and waved his hands: "Where is the point, I came here unexpectedly on New Year's Eve and interrupted General Baichuan's New Year's Eve dinner. I should pay for it."

Yan Xishan smiled wryly, and shook his head: "Ms. Yan is already an ant on a hot pot, so why would he want to have a New Year's Eve dinner?" After speaking, he let out another long sigh, and waved his hand to signal Yang Yongtai to sit on a grand teacher's chair. Next, he ordered the secretary to bring the high-grade green tea with a strong fragrance.

"Yes, Brother Changqing, the CCP has sharpened its sword there now. Although it seems to be aimed at the south, it is actually trying to kill us Shanxi people!" Zhao Daiwen took over Yan with a bitter face. Xishan’s words: “General Baichuan has supervised the Jin Dynasty for 18 years. What is the situation in Shanxi now? Who would say it is a model province? Railways, highways, education, and people’s livelihood, which one is not among the best in China today? But why are you unwilling? Let us Shanxi be safe and sound in this troubled world?"

Hearing Zhao Daiwen's complaints, Yang Yongtai just smiled, with a calm and magnanimous air: "Mr. Cilong's words are wrong. The next time I come to Taiyuan this time, I don't want to invite General Baichuan to serve in Wuhan."

When Yan Xishan heard that he didn't need to go to Wuhan, he jumped up immediately, his face full of excitement: "Mr. Changqing means that the national government will appoint you as the chairman of Shanxi Province? The Jin army doesn't need to be reorganized..." Later, Yan Xishan His face darkened again, he shook his head, and sighed: "I'm afraid there is no such good thing?"

"Jiegong wants to arrange it like this, but the current KMT is not what Jiegong said. However, Jiegong is still willing to help Shanxi to tide over the difficulties within his ability."

Yang Yongtai is talking about Jiegong at this moment, as if everything was arranged by Chiang Kai-shek.In fact, that was the decision of the secret meeting of the presidium at noon today.

"Get over the difficulties?" Yan Xishan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up at Yang Yongtai: "Could it be that... the Kuomintang is planning to send troops to Shanxi?"

Yang Yongtai smiled deeply, and took a meaningful look at Yan Xishan: "If our National Revolutionary Army wants to send three divisions to Shanxi, will General Baichuan welcome it?"

Yan Xishan's complexion suddenly changed, and he jumped up suddenly.But Yang Yongtai laughed and waved his hands: "Don't worry, General Baichuan. Our national government has no ambitions for Shanxi Province and will not send troops. We just intend to provide Shanxi with a batch of supplies, mainly food. In addition We are planning to give Shanxi 1000 million French currency as a military subsidy so that the Jin army can expand its size. I think General Baichuan will not refuse such a good thing, right?"

Is this a good thing?It looks like the Communist Party is really coming to attack Shanxi.Yan Xishan secretly speculated in his heart.

Although the CCP is currently yelling at the south, anyone with a little knowledge of the military knows it well.With that little military strength of the CCP, if it is in its own base areas and relies on the support of the masses after the land reform, it can still fight the Kuomintang.But if they go to the territory of the national government, it is purely delivering food to the door.They wouldn't do such stupid things.

Therefore, the CCP must have another goal when it is preparing for war, and this goal is probably Shanxi.

Shanxi is surrounded on three sides by the Chinese Communist Party, and is currently the richest province in the north.The infrastructure is complete, the resources are abundant, and the industry and mining have a certain foundation, and Shanxi merchants have quite a lot of savings in their pockets. All these are exactly what the CCP urgently needs to develop heavy industry.Moreover, after taking Shanxi, the CCP's strategic maneuvering space will also be greatly increased.It will not be so easy for the Kuomintang to win them again...

What's even more rare is that the combat effectiveness of the Jin army in Shanxi is extremely weak.When the CCP Xiaomi added rifles, it was able to suppress them and fight them.Right now, at least with a certain amount of artillery and a certain heavy industry foundation, it must be easy to win Shanxi.

Moreover, the Kuomintang ruled area is now in the so-called Great Depression after all, and the Kuomintang government has gritted its teeth and proposed an ambitious heavy industry development plan.Obviously, for some time to come, the Kuomintang is not willing to fight a life-and-death battle with the CCP.

Therefore, the battle of Shanxi is imminent!

Yang Yongtai seemed to read his mind and looked at him coldly.With a mocking smile: "General Baichuan, the next year may be the life and death of the Jin army. The National Government will seize every opportunity to arm the Jin army now. But whether you can stand it in the end depends on your own determination! I can’t stand it anymore. If you want to invite the National Revolutionary Army in, it’s easier to ask the gods than to send them away. So, please don’t be polite, just ask if you need something. Jiegong will definitely fight for you at the presidium meeting.”

……

The same festival, but two different thoughts.

In Beijing, it was also the time of the New Year's Eve in the 19th year of the Republic of China.Inside Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, dozens of tables of banquets were bustlingly arranged, all seasons and eight treasures were filled to the brim, and every table was full of flowers.Although the CCP has begun to struggle hard during this period, the annual Spring Festival still needs to be celebrated.What's more, what about the various democrats and allies in Beijing?

In military camps, in schools, in construction sites, in factories and mines, and in institutions everywhere.Today is also the banquet for the New Year's Eve dinner.Although it can't compare with the grade in Zhongnanhai, it still has wine and meat.

The bigwigs of the CCP and the leaders of the democratic parties in Beijing walked into the banquet hall of Huairen Hall with modesty. Zhou Enlai, Mao Zedong, Li Lisan, Xiang Ying, Wang Ming, Zhang Wentian, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, Zhang Guotao, Soong Ching Ling, Deng Yanda, Li Jishen, Feng Yuxiang... Even Liu Yufen, Han Fuqu, Sun Lianzhong, Feng Zhian, who made mistakes but sincerely repented, also have a place.Oh, Soviet Ambassador Zirnekh, General Counsel Mif, Military Advisor Cuikov, Japanese Minister Yoshizawa Kenkichi and other allies also accepted the invitation.In addition, Mao Renfeng from the North-South Exchange Foundation, Pan Fu, the representative of the Northeast Army in Beijing, and Ma Hongbin, the representative of the Youth Army in Beijing, were also invited to the banquet.
