72. Representations
"The Bai family has even built a 'meat grinder', what do you think they can't do?"
"Let me tell you the truth, when we are fighting with their people, they can always know our movements in advance, and we have no power to fight back. And then, they hadn't even used their full strength. ”
"Now, this Huaguo is already the world of the Bai family. The Bai family's power is getting bigger and bigger, and the chips in your hands are getting more and more, but your army and prestige are shrinking, how long do you think you can still hold out in the Bai family's government under Qin Lao's hands? ”
"No one can change the situation of the Bai family's dominance, unless...... Unless, as in the beginning, other powers intervene. Perhaps, those countries will think that the Bai family is stubborn, and you are better to communicate and support you? ”
"Think about it, my old friend, this is your last chance. Your time is running out, if you hesitate any longer, you may not know which day Old Qin's people will attack you. ”
……
Zhang Xunchong's eyes were closed, and the chaotic words and thoughts kept rolling in his mind, almost splitting his head in half.
Those were Han Jiang's last words before he was executed. He said that his defeat was all due to the Bai family, so the most hated thing was the Bai family, but the Bai family has now become a momentum in China, and Zhang Xunchong is no longer able to reach it. Unless Zhang Xunchong finds another way, he will soon be swallowed up by the Bai family's forces like them and become the nourishment of the 'Huaguo government'.
Zhang Xunchong knew that Han Jiang said this, it must not be because people were about to die, his words were good, or he wanted to borrow the hands of the Zhang family to avenge himself - if Premier Bai and Qin Lao ruined half of his life's foundation and made him turn around and be empty, then he was going to take his life at that time, wouldn't he hate?
However, he couldn't care less about what Han Jiang said, because he knew very well that what Han Jiang said was the truth. Now that the 'Chinese government' is growing stronger day by day, and one day it will rule the whole country, and at that time, where will there be the good fruits of these people to eat?
Zhang Xunchong didn't think about going to the Bai family, but he was already strong by nature, and he had been fighting with the Bai family for half his life, where could he lower his head, open his face, and succumb to the Bai family? Moreover, even if he surrendered, after all, he had formed a lot of grudges with Qin Lao and Premier Bai over the years, would they really be willing to let him go?
Rather than putting the control of your destiny in the hands of others, it is better to take control of it yourself.
If you are not ready to surrender, you can only fight. The Northwest Army is undoubtedly no match for the current Central Army, and Zhang Xunchong does not intend to hit the stone with an egg. If he wants to fight against Qin Lao and the Bai family, his army alone can't do it, he must find foreign help.
Zhang Xunchong originally had a good relationship with Britain, but now, Britain is deeply involved in the European war, where can he take care of China? Even if the British had the strength to do both, it would be impossible for Zhang Xunchong to trust them - Britain, France, and the United States had just signed an agreement with the Pak government, so how could he be sure that Britain would abandon its partners and help his followers, who had been following in his footsteps? I'm afraid that there is a better chance of turning around and helping the Bai government denounce himself, right?
If Britain and the United States and other countries are excluded from consideration, the rest of the countries will either be beyond the reach of the whip or their own strength is not strong enough, so it seems that neighbor Russia is the best choice among Zhang Xunchong's few candidates.
The chaotic thoughts grew like weeds in Zhang Xunchong's heart, and Han Jiang's words lingered in Zhang Xunchong's heart like a spell, making Zhang Xunchong anxious, and at the same time, it also prompted him to make up his mind.
As if fearing that he would repent, Zhang Xunchong quickly sent people to Moscow to contact the Russian government after making his decision. In the process, someone reminded Zhang Xunchong that maybe the polar bear was not so reliable, but at this time, Zhang Xunchong couldn't listen to anything.
The negotiation process went smoothly, and the two sides did not leave any written agreement, but they reached a consensus with each other. The Russian government will only recognize the Northwest Government as the representative of China and as a friendly neighbor of China, and will do its utmost to help the Northwest Government resolve the crisis when it is threatened. In the same way, the government in the northwest should follow the lead of the Russian government, unconditionally support the confrontation between the Russian government and the Soviet government, and contribute its own strength to the Russian government when it needs it.
This agreement can be said to be desirable and needed, and everyone is happy.
However, it was not until the 100,000 panic moment that the true meaning of the so-called agreement was made known -- when the letter for help was sent, the Russian government only transferred a few dozen people from the border.
Looking at the scarred and weak Russian soldiers in front of him, as well as the outdated and backward equipment on their bodies, Zhang Xunchong suddenly raised his head, laughed, laughed and laughed, and there was some sadness in his voice.
Originally, when his own soldiers were about to lose their hold, he had used his agreement with the Russians countless times to motivate them, telling them that reinforcements would soon arrive, and that they would hold on a little longer.
Now, the Russian government has "kept its promises" and sent "all the reinforcements they can send", but the qiē in front of him makes Zhang Xunchong feel more and more that every qiē is a joke.
[We didn't send more people because our evil adversary was still eyeing us and ready to attack us at any time. My faithful friends, I am confident that you will be able to defeat the forces of evil as we do, and our spirit is with you. If you end this turmoil early, please don't forget to come to your aid. 】
The Russian government, which is allied with them, lacks not only sincerity, but also strength. Ironically, he only saw it now, and just a moment ago he was pinning his hopes on them......
Zhang Xunchong raised his hand and tore up all the letters sent by the Russian government little by little, and the aimless and scattered pieces of paper were as dazed as his heart.
"Han Jiang, you won......" He lowered his head, grabbed his hair, and whispered in pain: "You won!" ”
If he couldn't see Han Jiang's true intention of saying those words to him at this time, the ball on his neck wouldn't have to grow.
From beginning to end, what Han Jiang wanted to take revenge on was not any of them, but all of them.
At a quarter past three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xunchong's center of influence D City was breached, and many people, including Zhang Xunchong's son and subordinates, were all captured by Qin Lao's army, and Zhang Xunchong himself, as early as the moment the city was broken, shot himself in his room. He is such an arrogant person, even if he knows that it will be difficult to go against the Bai family, he still chooses such a path, how can he be willing to let Qin Lao and Prime Minister Bai's people witness his most wolf moment after failure?
With Zhang Xunchong's suicide, the forces under his command completely collapsed.
Han Jiang was killed by Zhang Xunchong, and before he died, he designed Zhang Xunchong to fight with Qin Lao, hitting the stone with an egg, and finally led Zhang Xunchong's self-destruction, and through guò to pull Russia in, he indirectly set up an enemy for the central government. It's hard to say whether his last move is a success. It's just that everyone understands that from now on, the Han and Zhang families, who were famous in the past, have completely disappeared and disappeared in the dust of history.
By resolving Zhang Xunchong and Han Jiang, the two major hostile forces in China, it can be said that the reunification task of the Chinese government has been completed for the most part. The next thing they have to do is to consolidate the forces of Han and Zhang, conquer the remaining disobedient, and condemn the Russian government for interfering in China's internal affairs without authorization.
After all, there were still some die-hard generals under Han Jiang and Zhang Xunchong, and it really took Qin Lao a lot of time to integrate their forces into a force that could be used by the Chinese government.
The 'presidents' and 'prime ministers' of those small forces are still relatively knowledgeable about current affairs, and seeing that the general situation has been decided, they simply surrender to the Chinese government and no longer continue to resist stubbornly. They can't win the battle horizontally and vertically, so it's better to stop it now, and it looks better on the face.
Some people who relied on people behind their backs and resolutely refused to accept the Chinese government were cleaned up by the Chinese government one by one.
So far, except for a small number of areas that are still under the control of Britain, Portugal and other countries, the Chinese government has basically completed domestic reunification. Now, it's time to deal with the polar bear that straddles the Eurasian continent.
The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the government wrote a vehemently condemned letter, condemning Russia for its conspiracy to interfere in China's internal affairs and to divide China's territory. Later, he condemned the (former) government for invading the land of China, seizing the wealth of China, without any wind of justice, and all its actions were acts of banditry.
The Provisional Government did not pay much attention to the condemnation of the Chinese government.
- I've been interfering in your internal affairs for so many years, what is there to talk about? Could it be that you only found out today? As for the invasion of the land or something, it is the old yellow calendar of the tsarist period, and it is not worth mentioning. Whatever you like, whatever you like, you can't really do anything anyway, just let you have a good time.
In the eyes of the Provisional Government, their greatest enemy was still the Soviet power, and as for the Chinese government, although it had developed very rapidly over the past year, it was only a tall man among the short ones, so there was no need to worry too much. They are very familiar with the neighbor of Huaguo, and they fully understand its due strength.
What they didn't expect was that this time, the Chinese government was really not satisfied with being addicted.
