Republic of China game

Listening to Zhou Enlai's tired and helpless tone.A strange smile slipped across Mao Zedong's face. Although the current situation is a bit of internal and external troubles, it is not irreparable, but it may be a turning point!It's just that Zhou Enlai didn't see it with his eyes.

Signing this treaty is of course a dead end, but what will happen if you refuse?It is estimated that Japan invaded the Northeast!Isn't this a good opportunity for the CCP to turn back the situation?

Mao Zedong took a deep breath.Pick up the traitorous treaty and flick it lightly, and then tear it to pieces in two or three.Zhou Enlai raised his head in surprise when he heard the noise: "Runzhi..."

Mao Zedong said coldly: "Well, if we don't sign this treaty, let the Japanese invade the Northeast! Once they invade, our current passive situation may be reversed... The Northeast will be our territory sooner or later!"

Zhou Enlai was startled when he heard the words, his eyes widened, and he just looked at Mao Zedong.Mao Zedong took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a few puffs, exhaled circles of white smoke, and said with a smile: "This time the battle of Taiyuan was unsuccessful, and the space for our party to develop south has been temporarily blocked." Moreover, they have to face the threat of their Northern Expedition at any time, this life is not easy!" He glanced at the livid Zhou Enlai, and said with a deep smile: "But the Kuomintang has been clinging to the banner of nationalism for so many years. Let go, especially anti-Soviet and anti-Japanese, once Japan comes to invade, Enlai, you analyze, what attitude will the Kuomintang take?"

Zhou Enlai shook his head: "But now we are at the top of Zhili and Beijing, not the Kuomintang! We are the first to go up to resist the Japanese! Let them go north and pass through our territory... I'm afraid they don't trust us, so do we Don't worry about them!"

Chapter 0507 9.18 War of Resistance ([-])

"Once the Japanese invaders, our party will of course stand on the front line of the War of Resistance Against Japan without hesitation!" A gleam of light flashed in Mao Zedong's eyes, and he sneered: "We must firmly grasp the great banner of resisting Japan and saving the nation, and we must also bear the burden of the war!" Leading the whole nation to resist Japan is such an arduous and glorious mission! As for the Kuomintang army...it must also go to the front under the leadership of the Anti-Japanese National United Front! This is what we must insist on. For this we must unite all democrats, nationalities The capitalists and the patriotic generals of the Kuomintang are here to fight against the Kuomintang reactionaries! At the same time, we must strengthen public opinion propaganda work, and publicize our policy of resisting Japan and saving the country and peaceful reunification to the workers, students, intellectuals, and petty bourgeoisie in the south. We must unite all forces that can be united !"

Zhou Enlai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately realized that the Japanese invasion of Northeast China was not only a challenge, but also a huge opportunity for the CCP!As long as we firmly grasp this opportunity, the passive situation after the failure of the Taiyuan Battle can be completely reversed.He thought about it for a while, then smiled and said: "Okay! Runzhi really deserves to be Zhuge Kongming of our party! It's just...the Kuomintang is currently strong and strong. If it is purely from a military point of view, with their army strength, I am afraid they can defeat them alone. Japan doesn’t need our help, right? If they propose to go north alone to resist Japan and not join our anti-Japanese national united front, then how should we deal with it? At that time, democrats, national capitalists and Kuomintang patriotic generals will most likely be killed by them Confused?"

Mao Zedong smiled and waved his hands indifferently: "They dare not hand over their backs to us. Although the Kuomintang army is strong, if it wants to defeat Japan in the Northeast, it must dispatch hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops. The Kuomintang army There are a lot of heavy weapons and equipment, and the logistical pressure of the war is enormous. How dare they let their logistics line be controlled by us? What if... Japan lands in Tianjin, and we can't stop it...they have hundreds of thousands of troops alone Suspended outside, the logistics cut off, I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out! Then what will they use to maintain the reactionary rule in the south?"

Zhou Enlai remained calm: "But what if the Kuomintang proposes to send troops to station along the Jinpu Railway to protect the logistics line?"

"Then we can't agree!" Mao Zedong's tone was extremely firm, but his face was very relaxed: "If we let them station along the Jinpu line, will they be willing to withdraw after we finish fighting the Japanese devils? We refuse that is As a matter of course, the people of the whole country and patriotic democrats will definitely support us!"

Speaking of this, he looked up at Zhou Enlai: "Enlai...the Northeast is the key to the success or failure of our revolutionary cause! So we must recover it by ourselves."

Zhou Enlai nodded and shook his head again: "Obtaining the northeast and adding Zhili, Chahar, Suiyuan, northern Shaanxi, northern Shanxi, and northern Shandong in the Guan, we will be invincible! But with our current strength Even if the Kuomintang does not come to hold us back, I am afraid that it will not have the power to defeat the Japanese imperialists and regain the Northeast, right?"

Mao Zedong took a deep breath of his cigarette and nodded with a smile: "That's why we must adhere to the anti-Japanese national united front and unite the strength of the whole country to participate in this holy war of the whole nation! Even if it is the strength of the Kuomintang reactionaries, we still have to unite Yes... If they are not willing to send troops to the Northeast to participate in the war of resistance, then it is no problem to provide us Communists with some weapons and ammunition, and let us shed blood and sacrifice to fight the Japanese invaders? If they do not agree again, the people of the whole country will But we have to see through their fake anti-Japanese war and real civil war!"

Excited, Zhou Enlai stood up suddenly, walked a few steps, and stood in front of the large military map hanging on the wall.Looking at the red arrows and small needles in southern Zhili and northern Shandong on the map, he nodded lightly: "We will do this, and now we will reach an armistice agreement with the Kuomintang as soon as possible, and Shanxi will be bounded by the Xinkou line. The Northeast Army was freed from the southern front, and then transferred back outside the pass, let them compete with the Japanese first..."

……

August [-], [-] AD.

Kasumigaseki, Tokyo, Japan, Prime Minister's Residence.

Dark clouds piled up in the sky, and thunderstorms rolled over the clouds, and the typhoon blowing from the sea became stronger and stronger.The strong wind blew into the study of Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi, blowing the windows rattling.The servants rushed in to close the windows, but they were stopped by the prime minister with thick eyebrows and gloomy face.

"Let this wind blow in! I hope Japan can be awakened from this dream..." Hamaguchi said in an old and hoarse voice.

What answered him was only a somewhat angry voice: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister! The Chinese have rejected the last goodwill of the empire, and now the empire has no choice but to fight to the end!"

Yuyuki Hamaguchi glanced at the leaders of the Japanese army and navy sitting opposite him with a cold gaze, and then he swept away the messy things on the desk and pushed them all to the ground.The crackling sound made everyone's hearts jump.At this moment, it seems that the former "Lion Prime Minister" is back!

"The empire does not have land and sinking. The empire still has North Korea, Taiwan, and Japan! Even if China rises and prospers... European and American powers will support us to restrain China, and the Soviet Union will form an alliance with us. The empire has not yet reached the point where it has to put all its eggs in one basket !"

His voice was a little excited, a little like roaring, and a little bit like begging.But the four people sitting opposite him were indifferent.Army Chief of Staff Shoroku Suzuki was the first to stand up and bowed his head slightly to salute: "Your Excellency! This operation, after the Army's careful planning, is absolutely foolproof! Now the main force of the Northeast China Army is still in the pass, and the Communist Party that rules Beijing is still in the pass. The previous battle of Taiyuan suffered heavy losses, and we are temporarily unable to go north. Therefore, I implore your Excellency to order and mobilize immediately... The Kwantung Army will launch an incident before the Northeast Army returns to the division. At that time, strong domestic support will be needed to pacify Manchuria as soon as possible! "

"I implore your Excellency to order the mobilization of the army and navy!" The other three army and navy generals in the room also got up and echoed loudly. Everyone bowed their heads and even shed tears.But the eyes looking at Yuyuki Hamaguchi were extremely cold!The current Japanese army and navy are already directly controlled by the emperor, and they can act without orders from the cabinet.The reason why Yuyuki Hamaguchi was asked to give an order today is just a trick to avoid the emperor from taking responsibility.

There was a flash of lightning among the dark clouds in the sky, instantly illuminating the gloomy room, so people's faces looked so hideous and gloomy.

Hamaguchi looked at these soldiers coldly, and said calmly: "Let's forget it...it's time to wake up from the dream. Whether it is the Kuomintang or the Communist Party in China, they will not sit back and watch Manchuria fall into the hands of the empire. At that time, the empire in Manchuria will fall into an abyss from which it is difficult to extricate itself."

With a slap, Minister of the Army Shirakawa Yoshize slapped the table heavily, and roared: "Now is the last chance for the empire to rise as the overlord of East Asia! It is also our last chance to realize the dream of the Yamato nation for thousands of years! If you don't seize it firmly ...In the future, what face will we have to face the sages of the Meiji era, what face will we have to meet those heroes who became gods for the rise of the empire! What face will we have to face the 7000 million citizens of the empire! They work hard and live frugally, Taking out the last copper plate to arm the navy and army is not to let us do nothing!" At this point, Bai Chuan straightened his back and looked at Hamaguchi with contempt: "This is also what His Majesty meant. We have to fulfill His Majesty's entrustment even if we don't hesitate to smash our bodies to pieces!"

At this time, Hamaguchi Yuyuki's body had already hunched down, and the brilliance in his eyes had disappeared.Now that Bai Chuanyi has made his words clear, what can Hamaguchi, a minister, do?Do you really want to go to the palace to confront Emperor Hirohito?Ask him if he has ever issued such an irresponsible edict?Hamaguchi didn't believe that the few army and navy generals in front of him dared to pass on the imperial decree...that kind of thing was done by the generals, and when they became generals, they would not be so courageous...

Yuyuki Hamaguchi just looked coldly at the four army and navy leaders who had gone crazy.

Outside the window, the heavy rain has poured down.

I don't know how long it took before Hamaguchi Yuyuki smiled bitterly and nodded: "Okay! Let's mobilize... all the seventeen permanent divisions are mobilized, and the navy is also mobilized. Is this the head office?"

The four generals of the Japanese Army and Navy all let out a sigh of relief, stood up straight again, and pretended to stand at attention to salute.Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Hamaguchi's old and tired voice sounded again: "The Kwantung Army... when are you going to attack?"

Hearing that Prime Minister Hamaguchi did not intend to oppose the Kwantung Army's attack, Shirakawa Yoshinori's face flashed with joy, and he smiled: "The preliminary plan is to attack in September, and the specific date has not yet been decided."

"Why September?"

Bai Chuan said with a smile: "It is estimated that the peace talks between the Chinese Kuomintang and the Communist Party will be reached in September, and the Northeast Army will withdraw from the customs later. In addition, if we attack Manchuria in September, even if the Chinese Kuomintang army wants to go north, we should be prepared. And the process of negotiating conditions with the Communist Party will take at least two or three months. By then, the climate in the Northeast will be extremely cold, and most of the Kuomintang troops are from southern China, and it is difficult for them to adapt to such cold weather."

Hamaguchi nodded slowly, with a smile on his face: "Okay! That's good. And how do you plan to deal with the aftermath?"

Bai Chuan and Suzuki Zhuangliu looked at each other, then smiled and said, "This aspect has already been fully arranged. At that time, Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, will come to power in Manchuria, and there will be our internal support in the Northeast Army. At that time, we will They fired the first shot first. In short, everything will look like a restoration of the Manchu forces, and the empire is only providing assistance, so it can also be confessed internationally."

……

The capital of Mobei Mongolia, Kulun.

It was August, which was the golden season on the Mongolian Plateau. The sun was shining brightly and the breeze was warming the air. The whole land was covered with a thick layer of meadow.A gust of warm wind blows, and you can vaguely see groups of cattle and sheep in the grass, like a painting of grassland.

After more than ten hours of flight, Luo Yaoguo's special plane finally arrived in Mongolia and landed safely at Zhongyi Airport on the outskirts of Kulun.

Although it is still the period of the "Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party", the development of the situation in the Northeast has reached the point of no delay.Luo Yaoguo had no choice but to take the risk of flying through the CCP's airspace, but fortunately he did not encounter the legendary CCP Air Force's interception.Maybe they didn't even notice that a newest Junkers flew through their airspace?After all, such a thing as radar hadn't been invented yet.

The 38-seat Junkers J38 passenger plane landed steadily on the airport runway after a violent turbulence.Outside the special plane, on the flat ground outside the airport runway, a guard of honor wearing blue-gray military uniforms and holding Min 13 rifles with bayonets was lined up.Seeing the plane door open wide, the officer in front of the queue yelled a password, and all the officers and soldiers stood upright without looking sideways.At the same time, the majestic military music also whimpered.

The senior officials of the Mongolian Seventh Route Army, Wang Zhongyi, Tang Yao, Lin Yurong and others, as well as Zhang Jia Living Buddha, the Governor of Mongolia, all arrived at the airport to greet them in person.Seeing his brother Luo Yaoguo striding down the gangway, Wang Zhongyi hurriedly took a few steps forward, holding Luo Yaoguo's hand tightly with a pair of rough and powerful hands: "Third brother, welcome to Mongolia. It is the best season on the northern grasslands, I believe you will love this land."

Luo Yaoguo also had a gentle smile on his face: "Mongolia can be as prosperous as it is now because of the elder brother's management. A few years ago, when this Mongolia was in the hands of Qiaobashan and the others, it was in a state of depression." The two stood side by side, While walking, he walked towards several black cars not far away.

As soon as he got into the car, Luo Yaoguo's expression became serious, his brows were slightly frowned, and he sighed softly: "Brother, according to the exact information, the Japanese are going to strike in the Northeast next month! What are the preparations for the Seventh Route Army now?" Is it okay? Can you go east to Heilongjiang as planned?"

Wang Zhongyi hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Those Japanese are really so reckless? Haven't suffered enough from Shandong? Are we going to do something soon?"

Luo Yaoguo forced a smile, looked at the surprised Wang Zhongyi, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.It seems that it is very necessary for me to take the risk to come to Mongolia. My elder brother doesn't seem to believe that Japan is really going to attack the Northeast. I'm afraid his [-] army is not much prepared, right?Fortunately, I have tried my best to deliver weapons and ammunition to him all these years...

"Just because we can make the Japanese suffer in Shandong doesn't mean we can defeat them in the Northeast!" Luo Yaoguo explained in a calm voice: "The Japanese have worked hard in the Northeast for more than 20 years, and their foundation is not so deep. As far as I know , Many people in the Northeast Army are Japanese spies! Next month, these spies will be launched first, and the Japanese will help in the open and in the dark. The little force Zhang Xueliang left outside the pass, I am afraid that it will disappear in an instant It's nothing." Luo Yaoguo looked out the window at the vast grassland that was retreating rapidly, and sighed softly: "You can only gain something if you lose something..."

Wang Zhongyi nodded silently, wondering if he understood the deep meaning in Luo Yaoguo's words.Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly: "Brother, I have prepared weapons and ammunition for you, and the army has been training for many years. All of this is for the incident next month. When the Japanese and the spies in the Northeast Army take action, the Northeast Army will The situation is bound to be chaotic. Zhang Xueliang's influence in the Northeast is vulnerable, and you must not let this foundation go!"

Wang Zhongyi was taken aback when he heard the words, and lowered his voice: "Third brother, what you mean is that if Zhang Xueliang's forces in Heilongjiang refuse to obey, they will also be given to..."

Luo Yaoguo sneered: "This kind of situation should not happen. Jiang Dengxuan is currently guarding Heilongjiang for Zhang Xueliang. He has [-] troops under his command, and he is the foundation of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. But this person is a non-commissioned officer, and he is in the same group as Yang Yuting. The relationship with Zeng Qi is also very close. This time I will ask Zeng Qi to do his work. I have already sent people to lobby Yang Yuting. If there is a letter from him, Heilongjiang will probably fall to you without bloodshed. In my hand!"

"Third brother, what do you mean... the National Revolutionary Army is also sending people here?" Wang Zhongyi's face sank when he heard the words "you and me".

"That's right!" Luo Yaoguo glanced at his "big brother" and smiled faintly: "The Northeast is no better than Mongolia. The Northeast is the foundation of the king and hegemony. Naturally, our KMT can't ignore it. We will send a group of elites to Heilongjiang this time. Organize the No.20 Fifth Division and the 26th Division of the National Revolutionary Army on the spot. They will form the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army with your Seventh Route Army and the Northeast Army selected by Jiang Deng. You are the commander-in-chief, Jiang Deng is selected as the deputy, and the chairman of Heilongjiang Province can give Yang Yuting, the Chief of Staff is dispatched by the General Staff of the National Revolutionary Army. In addition, the National Government will also provide funds for the Anti-Japanese Alliance.”

Wang Zhongyi nodded noncommittally, with money, guns and officers, Luo Yaoguo had prepared everything an army needed for him.Brothers like this can be said to be so righteous. If I push my nose and face again, I'm afraid it will be too much for the heavens.Thinking of this, he slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Okay! I will give an order to assemble the army. Of the ten brigades of my Seventh Route Army, two are left to guard the house in Mongolia, and the remaining eight will all go eastward. A total of four Wan Dajun! There are also weapons and ammunition that you have brought in to us one after another over the years. They are all stored in Kulun, and this time they will be taken to Manchuria together. When we get there, we will expand the army, form an anti-alliance, and fight with little Japan. Make a vote!"

Luo Yaoguo let out a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded.This trip to Mongolia seemed to be not in vain, at least it coaxed the Mongolian king into agreeing to go east to fight against Japan!Now let's see if Zeng Qi's sharp mouth can persuade Yang Yuting and Jiang Dengxuan to "betray" Zhang Xueliang. As long as they are willing to join the "Anti-Union", the situation in the Northeast will be full of flames...

On the one hand, they are planning to resist Japan, and on the other hand, they are also undercurrents.
