Natalie smiled noncommittally: "Come with me." As she spoke, she led Zhou En to the door of the office, snapped to attention, and reported loudly: "Reserve general, Zhou Enlai, chief political commissar of the Border Defense Army, is ordered to come!" Inside A faint voice sounded: "Come in! Brother Enlai, it's been a long time!" Zhou Enlai frowned slightly, and the other party obviously regarded himself as a subordinate!The KMT's annual military salary of 800 million yuan is really hard to get.Zhou Enlai shook his head and walked into the gate, while Natalie closed the door gently outside.He passed through a small reception room, and saw Luo Yaoguo wearing a summer uniform of the National Defense Forces sitting behind his desk, looking at him with a smile.

"Brother Enlai, please sit down." Luo Yaoguo stood up and beckoned, "There are too many things to do during this time, so I can't go to the train station to pick you up. I hope Brother Enlai will forgive you." Zhou Enlai looked at Luo Yaoguo carefully, followed by Compared with a few years ago, he seemed a bit more domineering, probably because of being in a high position for a long time?It is also possible that in fact, after mastering the supreme power, it formed naturally.

"I, the General Political Commissar of the Frontier Army, is a subordinate of you, the Chief of Staff of the National Defense Forces. How can I bother you to pick me up at the train station?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly, poured tea for him himself, and said with a smile: "This is agreed by your party, and we have not forced you. Since you have recognized Wuhan as the central government, you have also sent representatives to the two houses, and you have also sent representatives from the Ministry of National Defense on a monthly basis. To receive military expenses, you, the chief political commissar, are naturally my subordinates."

Zhou Enlai took the teacup, took a sip, and said coldly: "But I heard that you have formed a northern front army and are preparing to attack our bases in the six northern provinces!"

"It's not attacking, but stationing!" Luo Yaoguo corrected: "The six northern provinces are part of China! And the Chinese National Defense Force is the country's army, so of course it has the right to station there!"

"You are violating the agreement!" Zhou Enlai slammed the table, stood up, and said loudly: "The agreement between the two parties at the beginning stipulated that the troops affiliated to the Central Committee were not allowed to enter the six northern provinces without our party's consent!"

Luo Yaoguo snorted and said with a faint smile: "Then the central government will order you to agree to the northern front army stationing along the Kuzhang Railway."

"What if we disagree!"

"Why?" Luo Yaoguo shrugged: "We stationed along the Kuzhang Railway to attack Siberia in the Soviet Union! Do you not agree to the presence of the Wehrmacht? Are you going to fight us on the side of the Soviet Union?"

Zhou Enlai's expression became serious: "Luo Fuwen! Do you know what you are doing? Do you know what a true patriot is? A true patriot will not just watch his country go on the path of aggression and expansion. Point of no return! We Chinese Communists will never join forces with you!"

"Like Deng Yanda?" Luo Yaoguo sneered, "Chiang Kai-shek agreed to make him the vice-chairman of the Kuomintang, and he is a patriot! If I made him the chairman of the Kuomintang, maybe he would be as unpatriotic as me." ? If I want you to be unpatriotic for a while, what benefits should I give?"

Zhou Enlai looked at Luo Yaoguo quietly, but the other person's face was very ugly.He and Luo Yaoguo have known each other for more than ten years, and he has never seen such an attitude from the other party!Maybe they realized that the CCP is the force behind Deng Yanda.And now this person is in power!In case he got offended and really sent troops to fight, it would be difficult!It seems that this matter really can't be hardened.

Zhou Enlai forced a smile. "Let's talk about your plan first."

Luo Yaoguo stroked his mustache and said, "My plan is to secretly transport 50 people from the Northern Front Army to Kulun via the Kuzhan Railway, and then attack the Soviet Union's Baikalsk, Slyudyanka, and Irkutsk from there. On the first line, cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway, and block the retreat of the Soviet Far East Front Army... I think your CCP has already studied this route, right?"

"But we cannot betray the Soviet Union, at least not publicly!"

Luo Yaoguo smiled: "No one wants you to sell it openly! Because then the Soviet Red Army will flee, we can't let them run back to Moscow!"

"Why?" Zhou Enlai frowned, and said, "What's wrong with letting them consume the power of Germany and Poland? Why do you use the lives of Chinese people to help Hitler fight?"

"Because he is still useful, there are still many people who want him to deal with, and after the war, a strong Germany is also good for our China."

"But you will let millions of Chinese die in battle!"

"No, it won't! The casualties won't exceed one hundred thousand." Luo Yaoguo smiled heavily, and said, "Brother Enlai, this is not the First World War! The current mode of warfare has changed from static positional warfare to constant movement." mechanized warfare!" He paused again. "And I happen to have a very good friend of the opposite sex. She is the Russian Empress Anastasia I. Strictly speaking, those who make up the Soviet Army in the Far East are also her people! Once they are in a desperate situation, I believe they are Willing to join the Queen's army!"

"You want to capture the entire Far East Army!" Zhou Enlai gasped.If all the more than 100 million Far Eastern Red Army became White Army, the Soviet Union might really perish!

Luo Yaoguo shrugged, "The whole army comes first, and breaking the army is second! Is that what it says in the Art of War?"

"Then what are you going to do us?"

"East of the Yenisei River, west of Lake Baikal, and northward to the Arctic Ocean, there are about three to four million square kilometers. I will give it all to you! You can do whatever you want, and I don't care where the country is established." Luo Yaoguo said from his desk. He took out a map from his drawer, and drew a large area of ​​land on it with red and blue pencils.

"We don't want it! That land belongs to the Soviet Union, and we Chinese Communist Party can't take it!" Zhou Enlai rejected Luo Yaoguo's bid without even raising his eyes.

"Then you want to go there? You don't want to get territory from the country, do you?" Luo Yaoguo's face darkened after a brush.

"We want the Far Eastern Republic! It was ceded to the Soviet Union by the Manchu Qing. Lenin once renounced it, and our party also advocates the abolition of all unequal treaties!" Zhou Enlai smiled and said: "The Far Eastern Republic is only 100 million square kilometers. Compared with what you plan to The 400 million square kilometers given to us is much smaller. And... we can also hand over the territory of Eastern and Western Mongolia, Rehe, and Chahar to the central government!"

Luo Yaoguo raised his eyebrows. From the map, the conditions of the CCP seem to be at a disadvantage, but in fact it is not the case.There is nothing wrong with exchanging the grasslands and deserts of Inner and Inner Mongolia for the rich "Far Eastern Republic".And the CCP also spared the trouble of dealing with millions of Mongols!

"Deal!" Luo Yaoguo thought for a while, then nodded, and agreed to Zhou Enlai's request.

"Wait a minute, our party still has two conditions." Zhou Enlai said: "First, amnesty General Deng Zesheng and hand him over to us; second, before your troops stationed along the Kuzhan Railway, we must first get Vladivostok, including the entire Amurs Ki Peninsula! And you have to repair the Vladivostok fortress, including the entire coastal defense fortress system must be completely repaired, equipped with the most advanced coastal defense cannons, prepare enough ammunition, and then hand them over to us together! In addition, you have to drive out the Japanese there. Walk!"

Chapter 0711 on the military campaign ([-]) ride?

After Chiang Kai-shek's downfall and Luo Yaoguo's uncle and nephew took complete control of the country, the General Staff of the National Defense Forces undoubtedly became the most important department below the presidential palace.In theory, President Luo Yiqun uses this department to embody his commanding authority as the head of state, but in fact Luo Yaoguo controls the entire Chinese National Defense Force through it!In name, it is parallel to the General Staff, and the Ministry of National Defense, which controls the military and political system, has become a vassal of the General Staff, and the Minister of Defense has become an aide of the Chief of Staff.This reversed subordination to general constitutional countries has now also been acquiesced by the two houses of parliament and the Executive Yuan.After Chiang Kai-shek stepped down, the Minister of National Defense, who did not have much real power, was given the second person in Chiang Kai-shek's system, the former deputy chief of the general staff, General He Yingqin.As for General He's Chiang background, Luo Yaoguo is not worried at all thanks to the blessing of "time travel". This master has betrayed Lao Jiang one after another in history, and his loyalty to Lao Jiang is almost zero.

As expected, He Yingqin, the new official, did not disappoint Luo Yaoguo. From the first day he took office, he wisely positioned himself as Luo Yaoguo's aide and messenger.With such a Minister of Defense, coupled with the General Staff that has long been firmly controlled, Luo Yaoguo can finally control the powerful weapon of the Chinese National Defense Force without breaking the original rules and regulations. up!

In the early morning of June 6, Minister He Da, who was summoned, walked quickly into Luo Yaoguo's office at the General Staff Headquarters.Contrary to He Yingqin's expectations, he, the No. 11 figure in Chiang Kai-shek, actually became Luo Yaoguo's "most trusted" aide in just a dozen days after Lao Jiang lost power, and he was invited to the General Staff Headquarters almost every day for consultations. event.It seems that Luo Fushuai believes in him more than his original master Chiang Kai-shek!In fact, this kind of situation is quite normal. Luo Yaoguo's ruling group is actually strong in military and weak in conspiracy. It is not difficult at all to find a few strong generals who can fight, but there are very few conspirators who are full of evil... In contrast, Lao Jiang had quite a few conspirators and careerists on his side, and He Yingqin was obviously one of them.When Conspirator He pushed open the door of Luo Yaoguo's office, he saw Luo Yaoguo sitting in the office refreshed and talking with Feng Zibing, director of the Central Bureau of Investigation.He Yingqin stood at attention at the door: "Fu Shuai, what do you need from me?"

Luo Yaoguo raised his head, and politely asked him to sit down: "Brother Jing, why do you still call me Assistant Commander? From now on, it's enough for you and me to be brothers! Sit down quickly! I do have something to discuss with you and Brother Zibing." Seeing Feng Zibing, He Yingqin immediately understood why Lao Jiang lost so thoroughly.This person has always been the eyes and ears of Sun Yat-sen and Hu Hanmin!Now he has become the Luo family's confidant, and I don't know how much the Luo family paid to buy him?

What He Yingqin didn't expect was that Luo Yiqun won the allegiance of the spy chief without spending a single coin.It turns out that Feng Zibing, who is the head of the secret service, also has his own way of dealing with people. He only listens to the words of the No. [-] figure in the Kuomintang!When Sun Yat-sen was alive, he was Sun Yat-sen. After Sun Yat-sen died, he listened to Hu Hanmin. After Hu Hanmin, he naturally followed the orders of Luo Yiqun, who took over as the president.

"Respect, you should know that Zhou Enlai of the CCP came to Wuhan to attend the funeral of the former president in the past two days." After He Yingqin sat down, Luo Yaoguo asked the question straight to the point. "I met with him yesterday morning. We discussed the issue of allowing the National Defense Forces to attack the Soviet Union's Trans-Siberian Railway through Mongolia. He has already agreed. But afterwards, the CCP will exchange the Far Eastern Republic with East and West Mongolia, Recha and other places. Site."

He Yingqin couldn't wait to interject when he heard this: "Then what about Japan? The CCP's suggestion is probably out of good intentions, right? They must have asked us to expel the Japanese from the Far East immediately!" After finishing speaking, he stared at Luo Yaoguo , waiting for his answer.

"That's right." Luo Yaoguo looked at He Yingqin with appreciative eyes, nodded and said, "They want us to drive out the Japanese in the Far East, and when we secretly stationed in Outer Mongolia, they secretly hand over Vladivostok to them, and they want us to Repair the fort and deploy sufficient coastal defense artillery there."

"We can't promise them!" He Yingqin shook his head, "This is a conspiracy by the Communist Party! They want to sow discord between us and Japan. The Japanese have fought against the Soviet Union in the Far East for five or six years, and 10,000+ people died. It also cost hundreds of millions of yen. If we want to drive them away now, Japan will definitely go to war with us, so that the pressure on the Soviet Union in the Far East will be reduced a lot. The subordinates think that the CCP is still secretly helping the Soviet Union by doing this, so we We must not be fooled. All we can give them is the Far East north of the Amur River, which is hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. If they want the entire Far East, then go and fight the Japanese themselves!"

"Brother Zibing, what do you think?" Luo Yaoguo nodded, looked at Feng Zibing, and said, "There is one more question, Mr. Zibing, do you think the CCP has anything to do with the attempted coup led by Deng Yanda? "

Luo Yaoguo's jumpy thinking made Feng Zibing a little uncomfortable. He was stunned for a while, and then slowly said: "I agree with Brother Jing, the CCP really wants to use the division of the Far East to provoke our relationship with Japan. It is to help the Soviet Union! They may even tell the Soviet Union the information that our army is marching northward through the Kuzhang Railway. So we cannot agree to the conditions of the CCP... As for whether the CCP participated in this conspiracy, I think it is possible, but Not sure. Although Deng Zesheng has been to Kulun before, it doesn't mean that he is colluding with the CCP. In the past two years, he has been going to the CCP's territory to entertain guests and give gifts..." He looked at Luo Yaoguo again.

Luo Yaoguo smiled bitterly: "I asked him to go...Deng Yanda is really capricious! He was still working with me before, and in the blink of an eye, he actually wanted to help Chiang Kai-shek murder me! But the CCP wanted to rescue me again. He, don't you think there is something wrong with it?" As he said that, he leaned back on the chair and thought carefully, and was a little lost in thought for a while.Finally, he waved his hand: "Well, let me think about it again, Zibing, these two days, your people will keep an eye on the CCP's people in Wuhan, as well as the Kuomintang in Shanghai. What's important? Report it to me in time."

"This subordinate understands." Feng Zibing stood up and saluted, just about to leave.Luo Yaoguo stopped him again, "Brother Zibing, how do you think the CCP should respond?"

Feng Zibing thought for a while and said, "My subordinates feel that the delivery of Vladivostok ahead of schedule and the expulsion of the Japanese from the Far East are absolutely unacceptable. We might as well agree to the other conditions first. Anyway, we will only give them to the north of the Amur River afterwards. The hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and the rest of the territory, they should negotiate with the Japanese themselves!"

"What if the CCP doesn't agree?"

"Then threaten with force!" He Yingqin on the side interjected: "The only hope for the CCP now is that we and the Soviet Union will suffer from both sides... They can just sit back and reap the benefits. If we really put on a posture of fighting, the subordinates believe the CCP In all likelihood, he will give in!"

"Brother Zibing, what do you think?" Luo Yaoguo obviously attached great importance to Feng Zibing's opinion.

"This subordinate also means the same thing." Feng Zibing nodded, and his tone became a bit deep: "Since the assistant commander insists on me speaking, then this subordinate will speak out. I feel that the CCP is laying out a big strategic layout. The goal is still to point to the highest power in China after the Sino-Soviet war...On the one hand, they don't really want to prevent the Sino-Soviet war. If we don't fight the Soviet Union, I'm afraid we should go to war with them! In this way, they will be a dead end...On the other hand On the other hand, the CCP hopes that we and the Soviet Union will lose both in the war, or even die together! Only in this way can they have a chance to seize power after the war, and in order to achieve this goal, the CCP will definitely do everything possible to hold us back. This time They use the territorial division of the Far East to drive a wedge between China and Japan. The disintegration of the anti-Soviet alliance is probably only the first step! Next, we may not even rule out trying to provoke a conflict between us and Britain and France! Because the more enemies we have, the more chances they will win the country in the future It's getting bigger."

"Instigating a conflict between us and Britain and France...do they have that much energy?"

Feng Zibing sneered: "We have conflicts with Britain and France! We just endured it temporarily in order to destroy the Soviet Union. If the CCP wants to provoke, I think it should be very easy."

……

While Luo Yaoguo was discussing with He Yingqin and Feng Zibing how to respond to the CCP's request, in a luxurious suite at the Xuangong Hotel in Hankou, CCP leader Zhou Enlai was having a conversation with the leader of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee Chen Mingshu.

A Watson electric fan on the coffee table was turning vigorously, blowing up gusts of hot air, but it could not reduce the heat in the room at all.Outside the window, the scorching sun shone on the earth, and the asphalt road on the horsepower looked a little burnt. Except for a few merchants in a hurry, the bustling urban area of ​​Hankou in the past seemed a little deserted.

Under the scorching heat, Zhou Enlai also took off his military uniform, and unbuttoned two buttons of his white shirt. Chen Mingshu, who was opposite him, was almost the same as him. Both of them had faint smiles on their faces. It seemed that today's conversation went smoothly.

The long speech just now made Chen Mingshu's mouth dry. After drinking a few sips of water, he said to Zhou Enlai: "Enlai, I want to know what you think? Is your Communist Party really going to cooperate with the Kuomintang to oppose the Soviet Union? Hasn't the relationship with the Soviet Union always been extraordinary? Haven't you always been anti-war?"

This is probably the most difficult question for Zhou Enlai to explain clearly, and it is also the biggest problem facing the entire CCP. In this future war, if they side with the Soviet Union, they will face the crusade of the entire Chinese National Defense Force of 600 million people!It is really a dead end... But if they join the war of aggression on the side of the Kuomintang, they will face the crisis of losing their faith again!And the CCP after losing its faith is very likely to be like Wang Zhongyi who murdered Trotsky, without an inspiring banner, and as a result, it will be annexed by the Kuomintang!

Therefore, the CCP seems to be very ambiguous on this issue. On the one hand, it keeps assuring the Soviet Union that it will stand by them to defend the cause of communism. Election layout.It can be said that he tried his best.

"True, now the Sino-Soviet war is imminent! Moreover, Luo Yaoguo has completely controlled the Nationalist government by framing Deng Zesheng. He is determined to follow the road of militarism. What can we do? If we continue to hold on, I am afraid that they will lose Be patient and use force to attack the bases of the six northern provinces. So we have to make concessions, but our concessions are not without price! The Kuomintang must hand over the Far Eastern Republic to us. If they agree, Japan will withdraw from the war, This can be regarded as worthy of the Soviet Union...there is only so much we can do."
