Republic of China game

Page 455

Chen Mingshu asked: "Enlai, did Luo Yaoguo agree to your conditions?"

"Not yet, he said he would think about it." Zhou Enlai shook his head, his bushy eyebrows gradually furrowed.Occupying the Far Eastern Republic is the key to the CCP's strategic layout... According to Mao Zedong's analysis, if the Kuomintang really won the war against the Soviet Union, then the next enemy they will deal with is likely to be Japan!If the CCP occupies the Far East, it will be able to find opportunities to expand its power in the Sino-Japanese War.If possible, the Korean peninsula can also be turned into the Communist Party's world.Moreover, the Far Eastern Republic is different from the six northern provinces in China. It is not yet Chinese territory. That is to say, after the CCP acquires the Far Eastern Republic, it can realize its communist ideals there without considering the issue of the training period... …After all, if the Soviet Union fails, it will be difficult for the CCP to continue to confront the Kuomintang. Naturally, the training of the six northern provinces, which are Chinese territories, cannot continue endlessly!

"If you think about it, it means that this matter is difficult. It seems that Luo Yaoguo will not agree to you." Chen Mingshu smiled: "Even if Luo Yaoguo didn't understand it for a while, his staff are not stupid. You think The attempt to divide the Sino-Japanese alliance cannot be concealed."

Looking at Chen Mingshu's worried face, Zhou Enlai smiled slightly.In fact, the CCP has already considered these things, but the CCP is still determined to give it a try. After all, it is impossible to succeed every time with tricks, and if one trick fails, another trick can be used.As long as the nature of imperialist aggression and expansion remains unchanged, even if the Soviet Union fails, the imperialist war for hegemony will not end, and China will also participate in it. At that time, the CCP will not worry about not having the opportunity to expand its power!As long as the fire of communism and the power of the CCP can be spread out, I believe that in the near future, there will be harvest time!

"Brother Zhenru, you are right. Luo Yaoguo may see through our scheme, but it doesn't matter, because I have a new plan." Zhou Enlai was very frank. He filled Chen Mingshu's cup and said with a smile: "I invite you here today to discuss the next step with your party. The current international situation is becoming increasingly tense, and the contradictions among world imperialists are also intensifying. Our Party Central Committee analyzes that the rise of China is not only a threat to the Soviet Union, It also poses a huge threat to the colonial interests of Britain, France, Japan, and even the United States in Asia! If China, Germany, Poland and other countries successfully destroy the Soviet Union, then China's next expansion direction will be either the Korean Peninsula or the Indochina Peninsula! Or even Do both at the same time!"

Chen Mingshu was taken aback, this analysis shocked him very much. The CCP has always been bad-mouthing the expansion plan of the Kuomintang in the past, but he did not expect that it is now preparing for the situation after the rapid demise of the Soviet Union!Looks like the odds of this happening are very high!However, if things really develop like this, the Kuomintang has no reason to oppose it. After all, the Kuomintang is not an internationalist party. The reason they oppose the war is because they are afraid of defeat, not victory!

"Brother Enlai, what are you going to do if the rapid growth of the Kuomintang really happens? I'm afraid it's unrealistic to confront the central government again?" Chen Mingshu asked calmly.He didn't believe that people like the CCP would be willing to be a peaceful political party and give up their ideal of liberating all mankind. They must have tricks.

Zhou Enlai smiled deeply: "As far as we know, Luo Yaoguo's ideal is to build a Great Chinese Empire! A world empire just like the British Empire and the French Empire! So after defeating the Soviet Union, he will definitely not stop expanding. Of course we It is also impossible to stop the traffic with the man's arms, and our revolution can only follow the trend. According to Comrade Lenin's proposition, the revolution can only win first in places where the counter-revolutionary forces are relatively weak. Where is the counter-revolutionary force weak? The Korean Peninsula , the Indochina Peninsula, India, the Dutch East Indies...these colonial countries are where the imperialist forces are weakest, and we should go there to launch a revolution!" He paused, looked up at Chen Mingshu, and said calmly: "I hope you can fight with us!"

Chen Mingshu was taken aback, and he opened his mouth to refuse, but Zhou Enlai continued hastily and quickly: "Brother Zhenru, you have a certain foundation in Nanyang, and we also have a foundation there, and have the idea of ​​inciting revolution! After the demise of the Soviet Union, we are the actual controllers of the Comintern. In the future, the interests of the Comintern and the interests of the Chinese nation will be completely consistent. In the process of breaking the imperialist colonial system, the role that the Comintern can play cannot be underestimated. Look at it. So after the demise of the Soviet Union, we and the Kuomintang can coexist peacefully and work together to create a new Asian order led by China! And your party and us, even Chiang Kai-shek, who has recently lost power, can be in this new order Find your own interests... Asia is so big, Luo Yaoguo can't afford all the benefits, he always has to share a lot with us."

"Chiang Kai-shek is also going to participate..." Chen Mingshu was startled when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Enlai in confusion.

Zhou Enlai nodded solemnly: "That's right. Isn't he the Minister of the Overseas Department of the Kuomintang now? Isn't Southeast Asia the focus of the Overseas Department's work?"

Chapter 0712 on the military campaign ([-]) Lao Jiang's way out

Sunlight poured in from the window of Meilu's bedroom, and Chiang Kai-shek finally woke up from the deepest sleep.Now he has begun to adapt to this kind of life rhythm without official life, and he is no longer worried that Luo Yaoguo's people will break into the house and beat him and Song Meiling to death on the bed with random guns.Press the bell to call people, and servants in white uniforms have already brought over the neatly ironed military uniforms.Unlike other lost Kuomintang military leaders, Luo Yaoguo retained Chiang Kai-shek's military commission and did not expel him from active service.In other words, he still has a little chance of regaining military power, although this chance is very slim.As usual, he quietly got up from the bed, not waking up Song Meiling who was still sleeping soundly.His wife's schedule is completely different from his. One goes to bed early and gets up early, the other never falls asleep until one or two o'clock in the morning, and cannot get up until the sun is high.Quietly walked out of the bedroom, washed up in the bathroom, and came to the small living room outside the bedroom.A steaming hot breakfast was already placed on the table, and the morning sun shone in, giving the room a refreshing vigor.

Chen Bulei and Jiang Xiaoxian had been waiting for him here long ago. Chen Bulei had sorted out the newspaper summaries of the day and placed them next to his breakfast seat.But Jiang Xiaoxian stood at the side dejectedly, holding nothing in his hand.When Lao Jiang was in power in the past, the chief deputy of Jiang had already prepared Lao Jiang's one-day itinerary, and offered it with both hands, waiting for his final approval.But now...how does Lao Jiang need any schedule?

Seeing Lao Jiang coming out refreshed, he was still stretching comfortably.Chen Bulei greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Jie, you slept really well yesterday. I'm afraid it will take eight or nine hours..." At this point he stopped suddenly, with an embarrassing smile on his face .

Chiang Kai-shek smiled lightly, sat on his seat, and smiled at Chen Bulei: "It's not bad to be light-hearted without an official. Let the uncle and nephew of the Luo family do the work of this world's major affairs." Chen Bulei sighed softly after hearing his words. In a low tone, he picked up his notepad and said to Lao Jiang: "He Jingzhi, Zhu Yizhi, Zhu Shaoliang, Chen Cixiu, Gu Mosan, Jiang Mingsan, Zhang Wenbai, Lin Weiwen, Tang Enbo, Chen Chengji and a large number of generals are preparing a joint petition. I want to complain for you..." He nodded: "There are so many generals who have come forward to speak for you...Jie Gong, it seems that your comeback is not far away, and this trip abroad is only for sightseeing , When you regain your spirit, you can regain power again."

Chiang Kai-shek was about to say that these guys came out to do this favor after seeing Luo Yiqun betroth his daughter to Chiang Ching-kuo, but he felt inappropriate when he said something, so he changed it into a sentence: "...these are all loyal comrades, Bray Please help me write a letter to express my condolences to them." He watched Chen Bulei go out to write a letter, and he leaned on the back of the chair and was lost in thought at the table of exquisite breakfast.In the past month, I have really gone through too many tests!He also lost the Minister of National Defense and the Chairman of the Military Commission (Luo Yiqun concurrently served as the chairman), but at least he didn't let people beat him to the end, and saved a little chance for a comeback.But the question is where should I get up from?The Luo family treated themselves with the utmost benevolence in this incident, not only did they not completely destroy themselves!Moreover, he still retained a certain position, and Luo Yiqun married his daughter to his son... If he went to play the sign of anti-Luo again, he would really make people who knew the inside story look down upon him.But if you don't object to Luo Yaoguo, why don't you go and beg for mercy from him?This is also a shame to see people.

Just as Chiang Kai-shek was casually putting his breakfast in his mouth, he saw one of Jiang Xiaoxian's adjutants hurriedly appearing at the door, and Jiang Xiaoxian walked over in some surprise.Lao Jiang usually does not allow others to disturb him during breakfast, and he has lost his power now. What happened?The adjutant whispered something in Jiang Xiaoxian's ear, Jiang Xiaoxian nodded.He walked quickly to Chiang Kai-shek, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "General Li Renchao asked to see him, saying that he has something important to discuss." Chiang Kai-shek's expression changed, he put down the tableware in his hand, and said to himself: "Li Renchao? Didn't he already become a member of the Legislative Council? What else do you want me for? Could it be..." He shook his head, stood up, and led Jiang Xiaoxian out with big strides.

When Chiang Kai-shek rushed to his living room.Li Jishen had been waiting inside for a long time.He looked travel-stained, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked as if he had come overnight from his own constituency in Guangdong.Seeing Chiang Kai-shek coming in a hurry, he stood at attention and saluted.Chiang Kai-shek smiled wryly and said, "Stop saluting. I'm no official now, so why should I salute? Brother Ren Chao, it's rare that you can still come to see me, really..."

"What! Mr. Jie, your Kuomintang Overseas Minister has also..." Li Jishen looked shocked, staring straight at him.

Chiang Kai-shek sat opposite Li Jishen.His face still looked helpless: "The overseas minister is still there, but what kind of official is this job? What's the use of it?"

"Jie Gong... I'm really sorry, I'm not only here to see you, but also to discuss with you the work of the Overseas Department."

"What kind of work is there in the overseas department? Isn't it just fundraising?"

Li Jishen shook his head, took out a file from his briefcase and put it on the small table, and explained in a tone full of resentment: "Jie Gong, the constituency I run happens to be the famous hometown of overseas Chinese in Guangdong. There are many overseas Chinese in the Indochina Peninsula.”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, "I also know this. Our Kuomintang has raised tens of millions of yuan from them for revolutionary activities in history."

Li Ji smiled deeply: "Overseas Chinese are the mother of the Kuomintang! This is what the former Prime Minister said, but what did our Kuomintang do for this mother?" His tone suddenly became more serious: "In the past, we had no power, and it was fine if we didn't do anything. Yes! But now? The third strongest navy in the world, the second strongest army, and almost the strongest air force! How can you just watch the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia allow themselves to be bullied?"

Having said that, he handed the dossier to Chiang Kai-shek and said: "Please look, Mr. Jie, these are only the petitions submitted by the overseas Chinese in the eight southern counties of Guangdong Province in Nanyang since 1936. There are some cases of bullying by European colonists and local aborigines, and some are... oh! I can hardly tell, Jie Gong, you can see for yourself."

Chiang Kai-shek picked up the document and read it carefully page by page.The contents of the documents are naturally cases where the interests of some Chinese and overseas Chinese have been violated by the colonial authorities and Nanyang aborigines, and there are also the handling methods of the National Government... Basically, it is just a few random protests. It is not that the National Government does not want to interfere, but that the current Their main energy is to deal with the Soviet Union!After the Soviet Union is settled...

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek had finished reading the document in his hand, Li Jishen cleared his throat.Clenching his hands tightly, he leaned forward and said, "Jie Gong, the overseas Chinese in Nanyang are being bullied, but our great country of China is indifferent. Doesn't it make sense? Although the main target of the National Defense Force is the Soviet Union, Nanyang can't do it either." Feel free to be bullied! And it’s not just big powers such as Britain, the United States, and France that bully us, even small European countries like the Netherlands don’t look down on us, and even semi-colonial countries like Siam are also bullying us compatriots!"

Chiang Kai-shek closed the document in his hand, and pondered: "Ren Chao, if you came to me with these things last month, maybe I could still help, but now... to be honest, I can't do anything."

Li Ji smiled coldly, waved his hands and said, "Mr. Jie, if I had come to see you last month, you wouldn't have bothered to ask about such trivial matters, would you? At that time, your gaze was the same as that of Luo Yaoguo now, staring at you. Looking at the Soviet Union, looking at Europe, where will there be Nanyang?"

Lao Jiang silently nodded to express his agreement with Li Jishen.The plan to destroy the Soviet Union has been going on for several years, and now it is almost at the most critical moment. Once this huge and even somewhat crazy plan succeeds, China will become one of the few overlords in the world!Aren't those territories in Nanyang easily handled by sending some troops?At that time, I am afraid that the British and French powers themselves will fall into a bitter battle with Hitler's Germany, and it is possible that Nanyang will give up.So in Luo Yaoguo's plan, the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia can only endure for another two or three years!In fact, their current situation is still improved compared with the past, but it is still insufficient compared with China's current status as a great power.

"Jiegong, now Luo Yaoguo is worrying about the affairs in the north. Isn't it afraid that the Sino-German-Polish Triple Alliance will not be able to destroy the Soviet Union? And the affairs in the south...is it time for Jiegong, the overseas minister of the Kuomintang, to take the lead? If Jiegong can establish Are you afraid that you won't be able to make a comeback if you take the credit for opening up the territory?"

Li Jishen's few words seemed to wake up the dreamer!Isn't this Nanyang the best stage for his comeback?As long as he can win a colony for the country there, Chiang Kai-shek will have made an indelible contribution, but he is a national hero!Thinking of this, Lao Jiang's head suddenly became hot, and an uncontrollable fire of passion rekindled in the heart of this very ambitious man!

The problem is, all of this is a great idea, but how do you get started?Now I have no power anymore!There is not much money that can be used, and it is just an overseas minister of the Kuomintang with little power!Where should I start to make a comeback?

……

Just when Lao Jiang didn't know where to start his comeback, Luo Yaoguo felt a little proud of himself.Probably because the foundation of the previous ten years was really solid, he actually seized the highest power in China in this short period of time!A generation of heroes like Chiang Kai-shek was completely overwhelmed by him, and another Kuomintang leader Xu Chongzhi also lived in seclusion and kept out of the world.Even the great communist leader who ruled the six northern provinces informally expressed to him the meaning of "surrender". It is a matter of betraying the great Soviet motherland, and it is not non-negotiable.Although Luo Yaoguo did not fully believe in the promise of this proletarian revolutionary, is there any promise to believe in political things?Especially Luo Yaoguo, a traveler, has long understood some things that haven't happened yet or may never happen again.But the overwhelming strength of the Nationalist government is there. Does the CCP and the Kuomintang have any chance of overturning?Unless you lose in this World War II!But is this possible?

On the lawn of Moshan Viewpoint in Wuhan, it is the fragrance of early summer.Zhou Enlai, who was still waiting in Wuhan to deliver a wreath with three bows at Hu Hanmin's funeral, was at his invitation to negotiate with him on the price of selling the Soviet Union.After much consideration, Luo Yaoguo decided to reject the CCP's request!Zhou Enlai, who was also full of spring, was sitting on a Chinese-style cool chair, drinking black tea non-stop. Judging by his performance, he seemed to have encountered something happy...

Luo Yaoguo smiled secretly in his heart, the experience in his previous life told him that the CCP is a very difficult character!But now that history has been changed by him, what else can the CCP do to turn the tide?What they are facing now is not the more than one million Kuomintang troops with "big rice and rifles" who are constantly fighting among themselves, but millions of well-equipped imperialist troops backed by modern heavy industries!And there is another point that the other party may not know. At present, 100 kg of uranium-18 with an abundance of more than 90% has been stored in the secret warehouse of the U Engineering Committee!Of course, Luo Yaoguo didn't show this complacency on his face, instead he broke the silence between the two of them with a courteous tone: "Brother Enlai, I heard from Xiaobei that you have been to the Republic Aircraft Company in the past two days. Want to order some aircraft engines and special aluminum alloys... It seems that you have obtained the blueprints and samples of the two latest fighter jets from the Soviet Union, and you want to start imitation in Baotou, isn't it?"

Zhou Enlai raised his eyes, as if he did not expect that the other party would ask about this matter, and nodded with a smile: "There is such a thing, we got two newest aircrafts, I-15 and I-16, from the Soviet Union. Buy two hundred 750-horsepower radial air-cooled engines from your company, as well as some superhard aluminum alloys. However, Mrs. Zun refused to sell them to us Communists, insisting that we give her the aircraft blueprints and samples for research , Said to help us modify the aircraft to adapt to different types of engines and different grades of aluminum alloys... It seems that the CCP does not have qualified aircraft designers and cannot modify itself.”

Luo Yaoguo shook his head, "Okay then, I'll go and tell Xiaobei that I'll sell you all the engines and aluminum alloys you want. In fact, she also has good intentions, because the engines produced by our Gonghe company are German BMW and American As you know, Pratt & Whitney’s technology is not at the same level as Soviet products. You will know when your engineers get the goods. The same 750 horsepower product is much lighter and has very stable performance. The same is true for aluminum alloys. , to achieve the same strength, it must be thinner and lighter, so your aircraft must be remodeled and tested in a wind tunnel.” He shrugged again and smiled: “Don’t mention these, it’s yours. However, I would like to remind you that if our engineers are not allowed to participate in the modification design, then there will be no warranty and return services. And..."

"We will check each engine carefully." Zhou Enlai interrupted: "Brother Fuwen, let's talk about the timetable for the handover of the Vladivostok fortress."

"Who told you that we agreed with your party's plan?" Luo Yaoguo said, "After defeating the Soviet Union, we can hand over all the Far East region north of the Amur River to you, but the territory south of the Amur River...that's a deal. For Japan. Whether your party can get it depends on your own skills!"

"Okay then, we can't hand over the Western Mongolia Province to you." Zhou Enlai seemed to have been prepared, and agreed without thinking too much.

"Okay, that's all." Luo Yaoguo looked at Zhou Enlai, saw that he had no intention of leaving, and asked again: "Brother Enlai, what else is there?"

"What about General Deng Zesheng? Are you still refusing to release him?" Zhou Enlai asked.

"Hmph!" Luo Yaoguo snorted twice, and said angrily, "He wants to kill me! Brother Enlai, I won't avenge my personal revenge on this issue, but we are now a society ruled by law, and we can be sentenced according to the law. He should be sentenced to death for this attempted coup d'état, but it seems that he has behaved well after being arrested, and he has made great achievements!" Having said this, Luo Yaoguo gave Zhou Enlai a cold look, seeing that the other party remained calm, he did so. He said lightly: "A life sentence cannot escape."

"Supplementary text," Zhou Enlai looked at Luo Yaoguo sincerely: "I have been with Deng Zesheng for more than ten years, and he has done a lot of work for the development and growth of our party. We Communists must not be ungrateful. How about you see if this is okay? When you attack the Soviet Union, let us form an army with men and guns, and let General Zesheng command it to perform crimes and make meritorious deeds, okay?"

Luo Yaoguo nodded inwardly, seeing Zhou Enlai interceding for Deng Yanda without hesitation, it seems that they probably did not participate in this incident.

"Enlai, don't mention this matter again." Luo Yaoguo seemed unmoved at all. "Let Deng Yanda continue his anti-war career inside, everyone has his own ambition!"

Zhou Enlai shook his head lightly, but Luo Yaoguo didn't give him a chance to speak, and changed the subject: "You still have [-] volunteers in the Soviet Far East, right?"

"Yes, but they are stationed at the easternmost part of the Amur River defense line, and have confronted the Belarusian army that has been entrenched in Nikolaevsk for several years."

"Then what do you plan to do with this army when we attack? Do you want to defect or wait to be wiped out by us?" Luo Yaoguo asked.

Zhou Enlai frowned, and said in a low voice: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long term. Our army is an idealistic army after all, and it will cause a lot of trouble to start a war against the communist brother. But we can still make up for it in other places, such as The deployment map of the Soviet Red Army, the location of the General Headquarters of the Soviet Far East Front..."

Chapter 0713 on the military campaign (twelve) Nanyang Youth League

Wuhan, 1936.

The scene of golden autumn has completely shrouded the power center of the Republic of China and the third largest industrial and commercial city in China.Although the city experienced a thrilling battle in May, everything has completely calmed down now.Only the Democratic Revolutionary Party mobilized the "Seven Gentlemen Against the War" to protest outside the Moshan Presidential Palace willingly, saying that "patriotism is innocent" and demanding the release of Deng Yanda, who was sentenced to life imprisonment. Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liao also performed A farce of asking to "accompany" Deng Yanda to jail.However, this kind of struggle has no meaning other than being used as a joke for the capital citizens who are used to seeing the big market.

The uncle and nephew of the Luo family who controlled the highest power also showed great restraint and humility at this time, especially respect for the powers of legislation and supervision of the two houses.President Luo Da, Hu Yisheng, who remained as the Premier, and Sun Ke, who was by-elected as Vice President, formed the core of the new national government.These three have appeared in the two houses of parliament for so many times, answered the questions raised by the members in detail, and their attitudes are so humble, it is almost almost forgotten that China is not yet a democratic country!

Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Stilwell, who was once again appointed as the military attache of the US embassy in China, stood in front of the French windows of the US embassy on the north bank of the Yangtze River, looking at the bustling scene outside in a daze.The sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting his golden hair as if it was shimmering.The 53-year-old lieutenant colonel, who has been to China many times to serve, is now standing next to the big army major general MacArthur who is 3 years older than him.The two were talking in low tones while smoking their pipes.

"Joseph, coming back to this country after seven years, does it feel like a world away?" MacArthur looked at the two magnificent bridges across the Yangtze River, and said indifferently: "Another industrial miracle, a territory The ancient empire, whose area is larger than the United States and whose population is four times that of the United States, has risen like magic in just a dozen years, and it is going to take back everything that originally belonged to them! Obviously, this is for the entire white world That said, it's not good news."
