Republic of China game

Ever since Hu Hanmin fell ill, Yang Yongtai's brows hadn't been stretched, and they were even more furrowed tonight.He sighed, paused for a while, and then said: "Jie Gong, your followers are mainly 'Whampoa Zhejiang', but the number of generals from Zhejiang is limited, and Huangpu is the mainstream. And this Huangpu is shared by you and Luo Fuwen." Yes, it doesn’t make much difference whether those people follow you or Luo Fuwen. So they will definitely fall to the side with more power! If you don’t have Huang Pusheng’s followers, with a few generals from Zhejiang, you can still fight with Luo Fuwen fight!"

Chiang Kai-shek's face was also livid. Of course he knew what Yang Yongtai said, but what can he do?Of course, he is not without hardcore in the army, but there is no possibility of raising troops to rebel.As Yang Yongtai said, those senior generals from Zhejiang will follow him, but the Whampoa faction that leads the troops below will not help him rebel!Those who have undergone strict orthodox Prussian military education are full of honor, regulations, discipline, and systems, and it is impossible to help conspiracy!Moreover, in China's current situation, it is simply unrealistic for him to launch the army to fight a large-scale civil war. Not only the military officers will not agree, but ordinary people and capitalists who control the lifeline of the country's economy will also not agree.At that time, most of them will end up betraying relatives.So the only thing that can be done is a military coup, directly control the center!

But do you have such a strong force in the capital Wuhan?The National Defense Forces stationed in the capital are mainly the Wuhan Garrison Command, the troops directly under the General Command of the Gendarmerie, and the Teaching Corps of the Central Military Academy.The current commander of the Wuhan garrison is General Chen Jitang, a general of the Cantonese faction, and the commander of the gendarmerie is General Xu Ji, Xu Chongzhi’s cousin.In addition, the elite teaching corps of the Central Military Academy has been controlled by Luo Yaoguo's henchmen. The current head of the teaching corps is Lieutenant General Luo Qi from the first phase of Whampoa.Since graduating from Whampoa, this person has been working in several Guangxi divisions, and has no contact with his own Zhejiang division.Moreover, the current director of education and the headmaster of the Central Military Academy is also Li Zongren, a general from Luo Yaoguo's lineage, who is from Guangxi... So the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps can never be counted on.Brothers Xu Chongzhi and Xu Ji have long been satisfied with their current status, and they don't have too much ambition. Although they call themselves brothers and sisters, they will never help rebel, at most they will remain neutral.The only one left was Chen Jitang. Although this person belonged to the Cantonese First Division, he had been suppressed by Luo Yaoguo all the time. But would he support himself in taking the risk of beheading?

Chiang Kai-shek was silent for a long time, shook his head, and said with a bitter smile: "Mr. Changqing, it seems that I really can't beat this Luo Fuwen!" Yang Yongtai also smiled bitterly: "If Jiegong has already conceded, then please go to the President's office immediately. Go to the government to pay allegiance to President Luo. As long as you resign as the Minister of Defense, there must still be a position for the Vice President, and it would be nice to have a wine and beauty like Xu Ruwei. Or else..."

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes suddenly shot at Yang Yongtai like electricity. "What else can I do? Send secret agents to assassinate Luo Fuwen? He hasn't been so careless, has he? And those people may not be willing to die for me! Maybe they will sell me!"

Yang Yongtai said indifferently: "These spies are of course unreliable, but how about replacing them with a capable and reliable small army? And we don't need to get ahead at all. Let others rush ahead. If things go well, let's come out to pick peaches. If we fail, we will..." He raised his hand and made a decapitation gesture!

"Who does this small and capable army belong to? Is it a member of the Communist Party?" Chiang Kai-shek's face suddenly darkened.Yang Yongtai hurriedly waved his hands: "It's not the Communist Party, how can we join forces with the Communist Party? It's Deng Zesheng's people. They have a secret armed force in the hands of the Kuomintang, about 500 people, and they are the most reliable buddies! But they have no way to let them They entered the heavily fortified Donghu District, and there is no way to transport weapons into Wuhan. This requires our help. Deng Zesheng’s condition is... to return to the Kuomintang, and he will be the vice chairman of the Kuomintang!"

There was a dead silence in the room.Chiang Kai-shek's face was ashen-black, and his lips trembled slightly.Yang Yongtai's fair face was also distorted and deformed, covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans.

……

Sitting in the well-lit living room of the Presidential Palace, holding high-quality green tea in his hand, and listening to Luo Yiqun's daughters chattering excitedly there, Luo Yaoguo really felt as if he had passed away.This presidential palace used to be Sun Yat-sen's Moshan official residence, and it used to be Hu Hanmin's presidential palace and presidential palace. Now he is actually the owner of this place, and the power of the entire country is about to be completely in his hands!With the title of president and the firm control over the military, this kind of power is only one step away from dictatorship!If Chiang Kai-shek is sitting in this position, I am afraid he will start a dictatorship soon, right?What about yourself?He glanced at those cousins ​​who had already grown into little beauties, and couldn't help but think of his three children, all of whom are the cutest little people!If he fails in this power game, what kind of miserable fate will be waiting for the girls in front of him and his own children?I still understand the truth of success and defeat, and now it is really a critical moment!But what if he usurped the power that should belong to the people and became a dictator?Just let this power game of winners and losers continue to be played from generation to generation?

The time passed slowly like this, and when it was almost three o'clock, there was a vaguely noisy sound at the door. Luo Shun, who had already been sent by Luo Yiqun to serve as the chief bodyguard of the Presidential Palace, walked in quickly, and said to Luo Yaoguo in a low voice: "Assistant Marshal, the President is back, and with him are General Chen Bonan, Commander of the Wuhan Garrison, and Feng Zibing, Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation."

"Great, they must want to rely on us!" Natalie's voice was a little excited, "Once the emperor and the courtiers, now Hu Hanmin's party members are eager to find backers. With these two People rely on us, Wuhan is about to be firmly controlled by us! Chiang Kai-shek’s chances of taking risks are not many.”

"It's just that there aren't many? Then there are more!" Luo Yaoguo took Natalie's hand, stood up and walked towards the door of the living room.He smiled faintly: "The army stationed in Wuhan is the teaching corps, the military police and the garrison. Now two of them belong to us. Natalie, do you think Lao Jiang has a chance to come back?"

Chapter 0708 on the military campaign (seven) confusing

When Chen Jitang and Feng Zibing walked in surrounded by Luo Yiqun, Luo Yaoguo was already standing at the door of the living room, holding Natalie's arm and welcoming them with a smile.Seeing them coming in, he took the initiative to meet them and shook hands with them one by one, and called them "Brother Bonan, Brother Zibing".For Luo Yaoguo to treat him with such a humble and gentle attitude, Chen Jitang and Feng Zibing were slightly flattered.Although in the past, they and Luo Yaoguo were brothers and sisters, but the situation is different now.Now after all, "the emperor and his ministers meet", so the two party and state officials who had already decided to take refuge did not dare to make mistakes, they all respectfully saluted Luo Yaoguo, calling them "assistant commanders", and they also had the expression of loyal ministers and filial sons on their faces.

Luo Yaoguo and Natalie greeted the cheerful President Luo Yiqun again, then walked with them to the living room with a smile and sat on the sofa.Luo Yiqun was the first to speak: "Fuwen, General Bonan and Mr. Zibing are now our own people! In fact, we are not outsiders at all, we are the right-hand man of the former Prime Minister Mr. Zhongshan. We used to be comrades, but now we are good brothers. !"

Luo Yiqun was originally a general of the Cantonese faction, and although he did not belong to a small group with the Southern King Chen Jitang in history, they had a good relationship. Now that Hu Hanmin died, it was reasonable for Luo Yiqun to take him into his pocket.Feng Zibing is not very familiar with Luo's uncle and nephew, and there was a little festival at one time, but this person's personality is relatively introverted, he has always been relatively isolated in the Kuomintang, and he does not form cliques for personal gain. He is a typical lonely minister and can be used with confidence.This is also the reason why both Sun Yat-sen and Hu Hanmin chose him to run the Central Bureau of Investigation, a secret service mainly targeting internal affairs.Therefore, Luo Yiqun felt more at ease with him, and intended to let him continue to manage the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Understanding Uncle's thoughts, Luo Yaoguo also nodded and smiled and said, "With the assistance of the two generals Bonan and Zibing, the situation will be able to settle down soon, and the souls of President Hu and the former Prime Minister can feel at ease. As former President Hu Zhangong said in his last words, as long as our Kuomintang can unite as one, there will be no enemy that cannot be defeated. I hope that in the future, I can work together with the two to create a new era for the country and the nation..." He said very sincerely, Luo Yiqun I would add a few sentences from time to time, the atmosphere in the living room was extremely harmonious.Just when everyone in the room was drinking fragrant green tea and almost forgot that a fierce power struggle was about to take place, Feng Zibing suddenly smiled and said, "President, Assistant Marshal, did you two know that Deng Zesheng The general has always been an important monitoring target of our Central Bureau of Investigation. In the past two days, the leader of the Kuomintang and the Chinese Anti-war Alliance has sneaked into Wuhan in disguise. It seems that he did not come to Wuhan to attend the grand president The funeral, but to meet an important person, Fushuai, can you guess who that person is?"

"Could it be Chiang Kai-shek?" Luo Yaoguo took a sip from the teacup and said with a smile, "Old Chiang is a bit isolated now, maybe he wants to make friends?"

"It's not Chiang Kai-shek, but Lieutenant General Yang Yongtai, secretary-general of the Ministry of National Defense." Feng Zibing smiled faintly: "Before Deng Zesheng met Yang Yongtai, he had just been to Kulun once, where he also met Zhou Enlai, the leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the two talked freely The whole night. I don’t know what they talked about, but one thing is for sure, after the talk, Deng Yanda was very nervous, and he seldom smiled after returning from Kulun.”

"You know it so clearly!" Luo Yaoguo gasped, "Then did you know that Deng Yanda also met me the year before last?"

"I know, and I also know that Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liao also participated in that meeting," Feng Zibing replied immediately: "If I remember correctly, the place is Mrs. Sun's mansion in Shanghai! But what did you talk about so far? So far I still don’t know anything.”

"It seems that I am also under your surveillance?" Luo Yaoguo frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"It's protection. Since the establishment of our Central Bureau of Investigation, Fushuai, Chiang Kai-shek, Deng Zesheng and other important party and state officials have been important targets of protection." Feng Zibing said: "In addition, the CCP, the Youth Party, the Trotskyites, the Democratic Revolutionary The organs in the Kuomintang-controlled areas are also our main targets of monitoring."

It turns out that the surveillance of oneself began in the era of Sun Yat-sen!Luo Yaoguo couldn't help thinking to himself, it seems that he learned a lot from a fall in the pit, Sun Yat-sen also began to learn to use spies to monitor his generals after Chen Jiongming's rebellion!Although the method is a bit disgraceful, but the effect looks good, it is best to keep it!Of course, his name should be crossed off the watch list.

"Then thank you very much." Luo Yaoguo frowned, "Mr. Zibing, in your opinion, does Deng Yanda want to join forces with Chiang Kai-shek to oppose the President?"

"It's also possible that the Communist Party and Chiang Kai-shek joined forces." Feng Zibing replied with a smile: "It's a pity that our people have not yet been able to penetrate into their core. I don't know what the conversation is about. I only know that they met several times. , and..." He raised his arm and glanced at his watch: "They just met again!"

……

When Luo's uncle and nephew were having dinner with Chen Jitang and Feng Zibing, not far from Moshan where the Presidential Palace is located, there was also a bungalow built on the top of a hill, and two people were standing in this bungalow On the balcony of the building, he held up his binoculars and stared fixedly at the opposite presidential palace.The two hills are about three to four kilometers apart, and there are trees to cover them. Even with high-power military binoculars, you can't see anything interesting, but you can see teams of heavily armed guards patrolling around the presidential palace.

A tall and thin middle-aged man dressed in a silk coat and dressed like a rich man, just shook his head there, speaking with a Cantonese accent: "It's hard, I don't see it! There are three floors inside and three floors outside." They are all guards, and there should be internal guards in the presidential palace. With 500 people, they can’t be taken down by any means, even those elites who came down from the battlefields in the Far East! Zhesheng, I think this matter should be forgotten Well... I always feel that Chiang Kai-shek is unreliable, and his words are broken, even if he succeeds by chance, he will definitely kill people!"

A middle-aged man in his forties wearing a long robe beside him was Deng Yanda. He just concentrated on observing the surrounding terrain. After a long time, he put down the binoculars in his hand and said with a straight face: "Master Gao, Chiang Kai-shek didn't dare to do that. He has a clue in our hands, unless he can catch us all, otherwise...hehe! Besides, we are not doing this to become an official, but to save China, and we cannot let China be led to a dead end by Luo Yaoguo."

He spoke calmly and gently, as if he was wholeheartedly serving the country and the people.The tall and thin man named Gao Lao turned out to be Cai Tingkai, another important figure in the Kuomintang revolution, and the villa they were in was Soong Ching Ling's mansion in Wuhan.Cai Tingkai sneered: "Brother Zesheng, there are no outsiders here, so why do you say such high-sounding words? This battle has not yet started, how can we tell who wins and who loses? Maybe the Soviet Union is still a strong outsider, easy to fight Really? If we kill him, don’t we let the country lose an opportunity to expand its territory, aren’t we national sinners?”

"It's not just the Soviet Union that he has to deal with, but also Britain and France... One is the world's largest naval power, and the other is the world's largest army power! We will fight them after defeating the Soviet Union. Do you think we have a chance of winning? If it is defeated, this country will be over!" Deng Yanda paused, and took a deep breath: "We will not attack the presidential palace, Luo Yiqun is a cowardly person, without Luo Yaoguo he can do nothing! We will attack Beilu, put Get rid of Luo Yaoguo! You leave tonight and take the agreement signed by Yang Yongtai and me, which has Chiang Kai-shek's signature on it."

"But killing Luo Yaoguo will stop the world war?"

"I'm afraid not, Mr. Gao. But we in China won't get involved. I know Lao Jiang. He is also a strong outsider. He is good at home, but he is terrified to death when Luo Yaoguo dies! And once Luo Yaoguo dies, Lao Jiang will definitely suppress him." Can't hold back!" Deng Yanda lowered his voice: "Let's get rid of Luo Yaoguo and keep his uncle. At that time, most of Luo Yaoguo's deployment will fight against Chiang Kai-shek! Our Kuomintang will also return to the Kuomintang. If you rely on Luo Yiqun, an honest man, then you have a chance to make a comeback..."

Cai Tingkai frowned and thought hard for a while, then murmured: "Does Mrs. Sun know about this?"

"I don't know, I can't tell her, and...before I do anything, I will publish a statement in the newspaper to withdraw from the Kuomintang revolution! If things are exposed, I will take responsibility alone, and I can't drag the organization down."

……

"Let's go, let's go to the Presidential Palace and meet Luo Yichen and Luo Fuwen!" During dinner, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly thought of something, and said to Song Meiling after putting down his job.

"Darling, are you going to surrender to their uncles and nephews?" Soong Meiling glanced at the gloomy Chiang Kai-shek, her tone indifferent. "I thought you would fight with them, but after Hu Hanmin's funeral, right?"

Chiang Kai-shek picked up another piece of egg and put it into his mouth. He had been eating this plate of eggs for dinner because it was the closest to him.He absent-mindedly said: "I will be the vice president, and the Minister of National Defense will do it for Chen Cixiu... They should agree to this condition."

Soong Meiling narrowed her eyes and said to Chiang Kai-shek, "Are you willing to accept this condition?"

"Of course not reconciled!" Chiang Kai-shek took a bite of his meal. "But now we must show our sincerity to maintain the unity of the Kuomintang. If things fail, I won't be implicated!"

"Things? What's the matter?" Soong Meiling frowned slightly, as if she had discovered some danger from Chiang Kai-shek's words. "Darling, almost all the army and the government are under the control of Luo Yiqun and Luo Yaoguo... But Er Luo is not a ruthless person. As long as we cooperate with them, there must be a vice president and a minister of defense, and we need a Kuomintang deputy. The chairman is also possible, so let’s just leave it at that.”

"Well, of course, otherwise, what else can I do?" Chiang Kai-shek suddenly raised his voice and said, "Can I still launch a mutiny to overthrow them? Besides, I don't have any reliable troops in my hand! They are all very respectful, but how many people can I trust if I want them to help me do something that would risk the world's disgrace?"

Song Meiling breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's right, the foundation of the National Defense Force now is tens of thousands of Whampoa graduates. They are your students, students of Luo Fuwen and An Sihua, and even soldiers of the country. No one can It is completely you or Luo Fuwen's people, but that's fine, no one can do lawless things."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded stiffly: "Yes! This is the nationalization of the military! No individual or political party has the power to fully control the military. It's just that this road has not yet been completed. At least the CCP still controls hundreds of thousands of party troops! They even You have the strength to interfere in our party's internal affairs." As he spoke, a fierce light flashed in his eyes...

……

The night is already very deep.A cup of tea has already lost its heat.And Luo Yaoguo was still bent over the desk, doing work that seemed to never be finished.Suddenly there was a light knock on the office door, Luo Yaoguo thought it was Natalie who sent a new batch of official documents.He raised his head and rubbed his wrists: "Come in!"

It was Li Zongren, the director of education with a worried face, who pushed the door open.From the looks of it, he knew that he was also full of things in his heart.The military uniform on his body was still neatly dressed, and his brows were deeply furrowed, which showed that the education director's late-night visit was very unusual.Luo Yaoguo also stood up in surprise: "Delin, why are you here? Did something happen to the military academy? Was it the Whampoa Military Academy or the Navy Academy? Or was there an accident at the Air Force Academy? Or some other place?"

He asked a lot of questions in a row, and it was clear from a glance that what Luo Yaoguo was most afraid of now was that unexpected things would happen.Now their uncles and nephews have just grasped the highest power, but the country has not yet been firmly established, if there is an emergency, all previous efforts will be wasted!Li Zongren gave a military salute, and said in a low voice: "Fuwen, the military academy is under our control, and there will be no problems. It's another thing for me to visit at night."

Luo Yaoguo heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and beckoned Li Zongren to sit down: "If you have anything, brother Delin, just speak up. You can make a phone call, but you still have to come here by yourself, it's so late..."

Li Zongren found a chair and sat down.Luo Yaoguo rang the bell, and a woman in her twenties, dressed in a maid outfit, came in with brewed coffee, placed the coffee cup in front of the two of them, and took away the cold tea.

"Fuwen, I heard that Chiang Kai-shek went to the presidential palace during dinner today?" Li Zongren asked after taking a sip of coffee, "What conditions did he offer?"

"He is the vice president, and Chen Cixiu is the defense minister. This request is not high, and the president has already agreed." Luo Yaoguo said: "It seems that Lao Jiang also knows that the general situation is over. It seems that the general situation has been settled."

Li Zongren frowned, took out a letter from his briefcase, and handed it over silently.Luo Yaoguo took the letter in a white envelope without a title and signature in some astonishment.I don't know what Li Zongren is doing.He looked at Li Zongren, as if waiting for his explanation.Li Zongren said in a low voice: "Fuwen, this is what Luo Qi gave me this afternoon. It is Chiang Kai-shek's personal letter, and a check of 10 French currency is attached! But Chiang Kai-shek just talked about teachers and students with him in the letter. Friendship, without any substantive content, but in such a sensitive period, another [-] yuan was sent to the head of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps..."

Luo Yaoguo's face darkened, he opened the envelope and unfolded the letter paper to read.The more he looked at his face, the darker he became.In the letter, Lao Jiang called Luo Qi brothers and sisters very nastyly, although he didn't say that he wanted the other party to help him with anything.But the more this happened, the more Luo Yaoguo felt that things were really not that simple!Luo Qi is a character in Luo Yaoguo's band, and he can't be bought for just 10 yuan!So this money is not used to buy him, but just to show favor to the other party, let the other party know that Lao Jiang wants to win him over...

Luo Yaoguo snorted coldly: "Yang Yongtai and that Deng Yanda are meeting each other frequently, and here they are showing affection to Luo Qi, who is in charge of the teaching team! This old Jiang is probably playing a big game!" Li Zongren nodded lightly, Luo Yaoguo He knocked on the table with his fingers hurriedly: "Could it be that Natalie and Wang Zhongyi really told me that this old Jiang wants my life! I'm not dead, it's useless for him to win over a chief of the Whampoa Military Academy Teaching Corps , but if I die... these people are also good students of Jiang Zhongzheng!"

Li Zongren glanced at Luo Yaoguo, but did not speak.Luo Yaoguo half-closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he was thinking about how to solve the current puzzle in his heart.Chiang Kai-shek, Yang Yongtai, Deng Yanda, a nasty letter and a check for 10 yuan... and the sudden "surrender" to Luo Yiqun and himself. All the unusual things are connected together. There must be a huge conspiracy behind it. And this conspiracy is likely to cost his own life!

But how should I break this killing situation and find out Lao Jiang, the real murderer behind the scenes?Or simply come here and would rather kill by mistake than put by mistake?At this time, Luo Yaoguo understood Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Kim Il Sung, the great leaders of communism!When their lives become the biggest bet in the entire power game, when power is unchecked... who cares about evidence, what wrongful convictions?There is only one life!What if there is really a conspiracy to kill him?Who will wait until the moment the gun is aimed at themselves and the enemy pulls the trigger, to expose the conspiracy and arrest the culprit?Isn't that a joke with your own life?
