Republic of China game

Zhou Enlai let out a sigh of relief, and nervously calculated in his heart, according to the method proposed by Wu Zhong, one-third of Shanxi would belong to the CCP, but two-thirds would belong to the Kuomintang!In this way, the power of the Kuomintang will expand even more.But if the CCP does not agree, what can be done in the current situation?Is it possible to order the troops to fight another decisive battle with the Kuomintang Shanxi Front Army?

After being silent for a while, Zhou Enlai squeezed out a smile and nodded: "Mr. Wu, I will pass on what you said to the Party Central Committee. As for the final answer, I will wait until the Central Committee holds a meeting to discuss it. Finally, please For me, convey our party's greetings to Marshal Luo, and at the same time convey my personal blessings to Ms. Qu Ying."

Wu Chong also got up slowly, cupped his hands at Zhou Enlai, and then said goodbye and left.

"The Empire of Japan is willing to support your Excellency in leading Manchuria. In the future, the Empire and Manchuria can support each other economically and form an alliance militarily."

The person who spoke was a rather skinny Japanese major general with a small oriental-style beard and beard. It was Nagata Tieshan, who was known as the number one brain of the Japanese army.At this moment, he was looking at Zhang Xueliang with a cold expression: "After the CCP failed in the Shanxi battlefield, the Kuomintang will surely attack the Zhili Plain soon, and Manchuria will be there after that! Without the help of the empire, your Excellency and the Northeast Army There is no way to maintain the situation. Now is the time for the Empire and the Northeast Army to put aside their previous grievances and work together. If you continue to hesitate, the foundation of Manchuria will be lost..."

He stopped the words, stretched out his hand, and a Japanese army commander standing behind him quickly took out a document from his briefcase and handed it over. Nagata took it in his hand, paused, and sent it directly to Zhang Xueliang. .

"This "Japan-Manchuria Cooperation Agreement" does not have any rude requirements. It only requires the extension of the South Manchuria Railway and the Kanto Concession for another 50 years. In addition, the Japan-Manchuria Agreement tariffs. As long as you agree to these two conditions, the empire will In any case, the Kuomintang army will not let the Kuomintang army step through Shanhaiguan!"

Zhang Xueliang smiled, the Japanese request might be acceptable before the Middle East Road War, but it is absolutely not right now!After the Battle of the Middle East Road and Shandong, and the Southern Nationalist Government's accession to the "Naval Arms Limitation Treaty", the status of a great power was established.The current domestic public opinion and common people have gradually begun to regard China as a powerful country!If you sign this kind of "Japan-Manchuria Cooperation Agreement" that betrays sovereignty, Zhang Xueliang will be a traitor and traitor that everyone can punish!But the Japanese Kuomintang can offend, but he can't afford to offend, so it's best to fool around.

He changed the topic with a smile: "Mr. Yongtian, your worries about the Kuomintang troops leaving the customs are over. As far as I know, the Kuomintang is now negotiating peace with the CCP. They don't even come to Beijing and Zhili, so how can they come?" How about going to the Northeast?"

Chapter 0506 Mind

The summer capital of the national government, Mount Lu.

As soon as the results of the Xugou Battle arrived in Wuhan, a group of bigwigs from the Military Commission happily left the stove of Wuhan, and ran to the cool Lushan Mountain to escape the summer heat.Luo Yaoguo has also moved into the Luo mansion hidden in the greenery for the past two days. Apart from handling a few official duties every day, the rest of the time is spent with his wife, concubine, secret maid, and a mistress from outside the customs. spent.

In the afternoon of this day, Luo had already finished his business.Back in his own villa, in a very comfortably and gorgeously furnished room, he sat opposite a little beauty wearing a tulle spring shirt with a full body.This little beauty is Yoshiko Kawashima, when did she live in Luo Yao Country?

Yoshiko Kawashima obviously dressed herself up carefully, with picturesque eyebrows, snow-like skin, and cool clothes. Although her figure is a little poor, she is still a first-class beauty.However, Luo Yaoguo didn't seem to be interested in her today, he just lowered his head and looked at a document in his hand.

"How is it? Will Zhang Xueliang sign this treaty?" Yoshiko Kawashima squeezed her throat, trying to imitate Natalie's sweet and greasy voice, but it made people's skin crawl.

Luo Yaoguo also didn't look at this femme fatale who was trying to please him, and answered her with a sneer.

"If you sign it, you are a traitor, you are betraying your country and seeking glory, and you want to shame future generations... What? Yoshiko, do you think I facilitated this? Get you out of the camp of traitors and traitors?"

What Luo Yaoguo saw now was the copy of the "Japan-Manchuria Cooperation Agreement" that Nagata Tieshan handed over to Zhang Xueliang. It was absolutely verbatim. I don't know how Yoshiko Kawashima got it?Maybe there are many people in the Japanese Kwantung Army who don't want Zhang Xueliang to sign it?To be honest, if Japan's ambitions are limited to this, Zhang Xueliang can sign the contract gritted his teeth.But... with the Japanese nature of being aggressive, Wang Jingwei's role is likely to be his once the contract of sale is signed!

Yoshiko Kawashima hurriedly shook her head, bit her lips, and said with a half-smile, "I'm your agent among the traitors and traitors. For you, I don't care about infamy." She glanced at Luo Yaoguo again, lost A few winks: "When the time comes, you must not ignore me..."

Hearing what Yoshiko Kawashima said, Luo Yaoguo couldn't laugh or cry. This woman's heart is more poisonous than a snake and a scorpion, and her skin is thicker than a city wall.If it wasn't for the surname Aixinjueluo, it would be great, there is a shortage of talents like her in the Military Intelligence Bureau...

With a snap, Luo Yaoguo threw the document on the coffee table, raised his head and glanced at Yoshiko Kawashima faintly: "Don't worry, Zhang Xueliang will not sign this treaty, because we are about to cease war with the CCP, and Zhang Xueliang will You can safely return to the Northeast to be his patriotic emperor." He couldn't help but sneered: "If Zhang Xueliang doesn't sign this contract of selling himself, will the Japanese be about to do something?"

Yoshiko Kawashima nodded her head heavily, and said with a smile: "This is the last chance the Japanese give Zhang Xueliang, if he doesn't seize it... Manchuria will be ours from now on!" She threw a few more at Luo Yaoguo A wink: "My master, are you also looking forward to this day?"

Luo Yaoguo gritted his teeth: "I am looking forward to the Japanese coming like the stars and the moon... They will fall into it when they come. If they don't come, we will fall into it. These few years will be related to the next 1000 years! No matter what you say, there can be no chaos! Even if there is chaos, there can be no chaos on the territory of our national government!"

Yoshiko Kawashima clapped her hands, and said with a charming smile, "That's a good relationship. I'm most afraid that the world will not be chaotic. With me in Manchuria, no one can live a stable life!"

Luo Yaoguo looked at Yoshiko Kawashima coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Fangzi, I know that what you are saying now is to cater to me, but I don't care, because my plan will definitely succeed in the end! I will be you when the time comes The only way to survive, how to take the next road, you can do it yourself."

After he finished speaking, he laughed haha ​​and stood up.Natalie, who was waiting outside, opened the door, and looked at Yoshiko Kawashima with her big eyes.

Luo Yaoguo walked to the door and turned back with a smile: "Fangzi, this Manchuria can't be given to you all, Heilongjiang has to be left to my people. When the time comes, I hope you don't cut off their livelihood. I will have your seat here."

With a bang, the door was shut again.Yoshiko Kawashima was left alone in a daze.

It is related to the next 1000 years!What is his plan?

……

Outside the window, the grass is green and the flowers are red, and the trees are shady.Several Kuomintang leaders in casual clothes sat in the living room on the second floor of "Meilu", all of them looked dignified, and the fragrance of tea and flowers wafted faintly in the living room at the same time.

Facing the Changchong River and backed by Dayue Mountain, this English-style villa is the new home of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling in Lushan. Chiang Kai-shek named it "Meilu".This garden villa hidden in the depths of greenery is also considered to be the best among the entire group of Lushan villas. Not only the Chiang Kai-shek and his wife like the environment here very much, but even the other members of the Kuomintang presidium regard it as a treasured place of geomantic omen, often The meeting place of the bureau will be moved to the reception room on the second floor of Meilu.

This time, what was held in Lao Jiang's "Meilu" was a secret meeting of the KMT Central Presidium. Focus on the situation in China.They are all cautious, beating around the bush and probing there, and no one is willing to be the first to express their point of view.

Speaking of it, the biggest event in Chinese politics during this period is nothing more than the ongoing "Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party."Compared with the great wars in history where there were big fights as soon as they came up, both the KMT and the Communist Party in this time and space seem to have certain estimates, and they can't let go of their hands on the battlefield of the civil war.The KMT only fought a "Battle of Xugou" with the CCP in Shanxi to break the siege of Taiyuan, and there was no further action.And the CCP also hesitated, shouting slogans for a long time, but refused to take the initiative to launch an armed uprising in southern China. It seemed that they were afraid of annoying the Kuomintang and attacking Beijing... The imperial palace and forbidden garden in Beijing are comparable to those in Yan'an The broken cave dwelling is much more comfortable and comfortable!If you really live in it, it doesn't mean that you can let go of it.Even if Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong don't care, there are still many comrades who care!Otherwise, why can't this communism be realized even if it is old?

Since this civil war cannot be let go no matter what, it is time to discuss whether to stop the war as soon as possible, and then continue to "farm".

The discussion at this meeting was how to settle the Shanxi issue. At the same time, we also discussed Yan Xishan's future and fate, to see if this "peaceful warlord" with a fairly good image could still win?To be honest, Yan Xishan's performance in the past two days is not very flattering!

This guy actually deployed defenses on the outskirts of Taiyuan immediately after the CCP broke the siege and withdrew its troops.Shut out the Kuomintang Shanxi Front Army who worked so hard to rescue Taiyuan from the siege!At the same time, they sent someone to deliver a whole box of gold to each of the five people present by air!There are always tens of thousands of taels... making the five big brothers dumbfounded.

It's just that the gold is delivered, the big guys won't be so embarrassing, just decline it.In fact, for a person who can reach the status of the five big brothers, money is meaningless at all.But the condolences and condolences of the local gentry and celebrities in Shanxi also came one after another.They were all saying good things for Yan Laoxi, and they wanted Yan Xishan to stay in Shanxi as his native emperor.Of course, they also resolutely supported the Kuomintang and the National Government!It's really a dilemma for the bosses here...

Originally, according to the opinions of the big bosses, it is not that Yan Xishan cannot be the chairman of Shanxi Province. Everyone believes that he has the ability to govern Shanxi well.But the Jin army must be reorganized and disbanded.The officers of the Jin army should also use them as appropriate. If they can be civil servants, they will do it for them.In short, they can no longer lead troops!But this Yan Xishan seemed unwilling to be a bare provincial chairman with no soldiers, and wanted to keep his Jin army, which was all-powerful and could not fight, no matter what, he would not back down!

This matter will be left in the past.Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo turned black, gritted their teeth, and gave an order.The Shanxi front army directly attacked the city!The Communist Army failed to take down the city defense fortifications in Taiyuan for two months, but it would only take two or three days at most if the Shanxi Front Army of the Kuomintang were to go out!The more than 400 150mm heavy guns are not decorations. Even if these 150mm heavy guns can't be moved, isn't there a Second Independent Artillery Brigade equipped with 210mm heavy guns?

But this time the matter is indeed a bit special. The Kuomintang played the role of a little white rabbit for several months, and kept saying that it wanted to fight against the civil war, to achieve peaceful reunification, and to save the people of Taiyuan who had been "ravaged" by the Communist army... In the end, the fight against After running away from the Communist Army, he ran to Taiyuan City to attack the city again!Didn't the masses of people who were finally deluded see through the true face of the Kuomintang reactionaries all at once?Isn't the Communist Party, which has been in the dark for several months, working hard in vain?So this matter is really a bit embarrassing!

"Brother Jieshi, look, this is a big deal. We were exhausted and killed thousands of people, and in the end we got nothing but fame. If we had known this, we might as well have let the Communist Party take down Taiyuan first. Just snatch it from the Communist Party! Look at the battle of Xugou, it’s probably not too difficult, right?”

It was Hu Hanmin who spoke, and he spoke slowly and gracefully.These words were extremely helpless, but to Chiang Kai-shek's ears, it seemed that he was blaming the Shanxi Front Army for violating the instructions of the General Staff and acting without authorization, which resulted in the current dilemma.

Xu Chongzhi still looked drowsy after smoking a lot of cigarettes, and now he barely opened his eyes and sighed: "One thing more is worse than one thing less... If Yan Xishan insists on being a warlord, let him be a warlord for a while Well... I think Wang Zixing, Wang Zhongyi, and Zhang Xueliang in the north are all thinking this way, if we can follow their wishes, the Communist Party will disappear in smoke!"

Luo Yaoguo said coldly: "In my opinion, the Communist Party will cease to exist only if these warlords are completely wiped out!" He glanced around at the big bosses present at the meeting, and said with a faint smile: "We can let Yan Xishan govern himself, or Let him join the Kuomintang, but his army cannot hang the brand of the National Revolutionary Army, and they can be allowed to exist for a while like the previous National Army. However, there are still articles to do in Shanxi! We and the Communist Party have not yet formalized A truce? It’s better to continue the truce negotiations and continue to sing high-profile. Propose to withdraw from Shanxi together with the CCP, and return Shanxi to Shanxi people for autonomy.”

Chiang Kai-shek sneered: "Can the Communist Party agree to this condition? They have spent so much time trying to win Shanxi!"

"Hehe, brother Jieshi, if we don't say that, how can we continue to pretend to be good people in front of the people of the whole country? Where is the excuse to continue to stay in Shanxi? When the Communist Party does not leave, we will not leave. Shanxi is included in the jurisdiction of the national government." Luo Yiqun smiled and took up Chiang Kai-shek's topic, but he and Luo Yaoguo had already discussed Shanxi's aftermath.

"In addition, we should implement fiscal and taxation reforms in Shanxi, south of Xinkou, to ban opium. The focus of fiscal and taxation reforms is to cancel the Lijin checkpoint in Shanxi Province, incorporate more than half of Shanxi into the customs area of ​​the Nationalist government, and at the same time levy resource taxes and taxes in Shanxi. The unified tax... These two taxes and the salt tax are all central taxes in the system of our national government!"

There was a snap, but Hu Hanmin couldn't help applauding.Even Xu Chongzhi's eyes widened, and there was no trace of tiredness on his face.Luo Yiqun's method is really a soft knife that kills without blood!This honest man is also smart sometimes?

Or, this idea is simply Luo Yaoguo's trick for his honest uncle?

Hu Hanmin stood up and said with a smile: "The things in Shanxi are just like this. We don't go into Taiyuan City, and the Jin army doesn't reorganize. When negotiating with the Communist Party, we retreat together. At the same time, let's pay more than half of Shanxi Province's lijin tax. All the cards were withdrawn, and the tax bureau of the national government was allowed to collect taxes! If you dare to resist the tax and refuse to pay the tax, we still have 10,000+ troops in Shanxi!"

Luo Yaoguo also stood up, and said with a slight smile: "What Mr. Zhan said is that as long as we control the money, Yan Xishan will not be able to fly out of our hands, and his 10,000+ army will have to rely on the Nationalist government to distribute food and pay. gone."

……

Beijing, Zhongnanhai West Flower Hall.

In Zhou Enlai's study, the two looked at each other silently.Today Zhou Enlai didn't even go to the prime minister's office in Huairentang, but just stayed in his study, holding a document, looking over it carefully for an unknown amount of time.Mao Zedong was sitting opposite, his face was also a little gloomy.

Last night, Kenkichi Yoshizawa, Japanese Minister to China, accompanied by Mifu, General Counselor of the Comintern, delivered this document called "Sino-Japanese Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance" to Zhou Enlai!In this treaty, the Chinese and Japanese sides still demanded the special rights and interests of Manchuria, including special tariffs, the South Manchuria Railway, the extension of the lease period of Kanto Prefecture, and the joint development of the Benxi Iron Mine in Anshan, etc.What Japan gave was to provide weapons and equipment for [-] light infantry divisions to help the central government fight against the Kuomintang reactionaries...

It was quiet in the room, only the sound of flipping paper was heard.

At the end, with a bang, Zhou Enlai slapped the tabletop of the mahogany desk again: "It seems that we don't sign this treaty... The Japanese are about to attack Manchuria, but if we sign this treaty... You can't get away with a hat of a traitor... The Soviets are forcing us to cooperate with Japan again this time, they really want to push us to a dead end..."

"...When this treaty is signed, don't the whole country go into an uproar? Even if the Kuomintang doesn't want the Northern Expedition, I'm afraid the people in the south won't agree. At that time, the national capitalists, democrats, and intellectuals will leave us and stand by the Kuomintang... Even our internal problems will definitely go wrong! Why don’t the Soviet Union and the Communist International take a look at China’s current national conditions? Once this treaty is signed, we will be finished!”
