Zhang Qun made up his mind in his heart that he wanted to probe the bottom line of [***] to see if the other party could obey the leadership of the Nationalist Axe and Chairman Jiang, so he said: "Mr. Enlai, I will truthfully report the opinions of the few people just now to Nanjing." Now, I would like to ask you, since your party is strongly advocating unity and resistance, how do you think about how to unite? Will you obey the leadership of the national political axe, or will you continue to engage in armed secession in Shaanxi and establish your Soviet political axe? Do they obey the orders of the central government, or do they unite during the war and do their own thing after the war? ”

As soon as Zhang Qun's words were finished, Shao Lizi, Zhang Zhizhong, and Chen Cheng all pricked up their ears to listen to Zhou Enlai's answer.

Zhou Enlai smiled heartily: "Mr. Yue Jun's words are actually the core of this negotiation, and we have been waiting for you to say this for two days." I can seriously answer you that the united resistance proposed by our party is to establish a united national united front of the two parties and unite all forces throughout the country to jointly resist the aggression of the two parties. What we set up in Shaanxi was the Shaanxi Provincial Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe, not the Soviet Political Axe, which shows that our Party attaches great importance to the overall situation of resisting and saving the country. At present, in the international arena, the political axe of the Republic of China is the legitimate political axe of China, and although this political axe is the political axe of one party, in order to resist the situation, our party is willing to work with your party to reorganize the political axe of the Nanjing National Government and accept its leadership. ”

Zhang Qun knew that the reorganization of the Nanjing National Political Axe required repeated negotiations and consultations, but the premise of being willing to accept the leadership of the National Political Axe [***] has been admitted, so there is no need to avoid anything in the future, and it is better to go straight to the front.

Zhang Qun then asked: "Mr. Enlai, is your Red Army still called the Red Army, or is it called the National Revolutionary Army?" ”

Zhou Enlai replied earnestly: "As long as the two sides negotiate sincerely, establish a national united front to resist the Japanese, unite to resist the Japanese, and reach an armistice agreement, our Red Army can be renamed the National Revolutionary Army and incorporated into the National Revolutionary Army, but our party must maintain the leadership and command of our army." ”

At this moment, Zhang Zhizhong and Chen Cheng couldn't sit still, so they came to Zhang Qun to exchange opinions with him.

After a while, Zhang Qun said: "Mr. Enlai, I and my colleagues are very moved by my mind of serving the country and the people, as long as these two major principles are determined, I think our negotiations should be said to have yielded fruitful results, and the next issues of northern Sichuan, the reorganization of the national political axe, and the reorganization of the Red Army should all be further negotiated." I propose that this is the end of the morning's talks, and that we should immediately report urgently to the Nanjing Political Axe and Chairman Chiang, and if necessary, we may have to return to meet Chairman Chiang directly, and ask your party to restrain the Red Army from suspending its preparations for combat, and especially to restrain General Liu Yimin and his subordinates, because after all, the construction of the Luoyang airfield and the Shanxi Tongpu Railway is not easy, and the damage will be a loss. Please rest assured that under such circumstances, if Chairman Chiang still wants to fight, I, Zhang Qun, will resign from all my posts in the National Political Axe Institute and will no longer participate in any affairs of the National Political Axe for the rest of my life. ”

When Zhou Enlai saw Zhang Qun say this, he knew that the members of this negotiation team were determined to negotiate peace, so he said: "Mr. Yue Jun is serious, the country is in difficulty, and there are many places to borrow from you, don't give up lightly, and work hard to promote an armistice." However, if Chiang Kai-shek is obstinate and insists on fighting, we are not afraid. One thing I would like to remind him is that if he is defeated this time and does not have the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Central Army, I am afraid that he will lose the strength and qualification to lead the all-people war of resistance, and then we will not accept the leadership of the Nanjing National Political Axe and Chairman Chiang, but dissolve the Nanjing National Political Axe, and all political parties and local forces will unite to form a new political axe. He must think twice about this. ”

Shao Lizi interjected: "Yue Jun, can you announce to the outside world that [***] is willing to accept the leadership of the National Political Axe and the Red Army is willing to change its name to the National Revolutionary Army?" ”

Zhang Qun looked at Zhou Enlai: "What about Mr. Enlai's opinion?" ”

Zhou En said: "Since our party took the lead in calling for armistice negotiations, it is to unite wholeheartedly to resist the war. Our party agreed to immediately make it public to the outside world, to make clear to the people of the whole country our attitude, and to accept the supervision of the people of the whole country. ”

Zhang Qun nodded yes.

The morning talks, though full of rhetoric, threats and gunpowder, began with a friendly atmosphere.

After returning to his residence, Zhang Qun, Shao Lizi, Zhang Zhizhong, and Chen Cheng consulted again, believing that since [***] had expressed his willingness to accept the leadership of the national political axe, and the Red Army was also willing to be reorganized into the National Revolutionary Army, the prerequisites for the negotiations had been resolved, and it was no longer an unwise question to talk about going to war, but a matter of losing the support of the people and carrying the notoriety of the civil war. As the political axe of a country and the leader of a country, we must not do such things that lose the support of the people and bear the notoriety. Not to mention that it may not be possible to win, even if it does, the political losses are too great, so how can you command the whole country in the future?

After the opinions were further unified, Zhang Qun sorted out the situation of the negotiations in the morning, and forwarded Ye Jianying's words to Nanjing as they were, and finally Zhang Qun wrote in the draft telegram: "Chairman of the National Committee: Judging from the negotiations with Zhou Enlai and others in the morning, the sincerity of [***] unity and resistance cannot be doubted. In order to resist it, the other side had given up its idea of establishing Soviet power and was willing to accept the leadership of the National Political Axe and the Chairman, and the Red Army was also willing to be reorganized into the National Revolutionary Army. Under these circumstances, we have lost the premise of continuing the encirclement and suppression. If we want to fight again, the people of the country will think that the political axe is treacherous and blindly engaged in civil war, and I ask the chairman to think twice. Moreover, according to the observation of Qun et al. in Shaanxi, the land reform carried out by [***] was very different from the land policy in Jiangxi, and basically the spirit of everyone having land and land was cultivated, and there was no bloody suppression of the landlords and gentry because of the land reform. Qun personally talked with the peasants who divided the land, and although the other party was an ignorant and ignorant people, he was extremely determined to defend his land, and declared that if he attacked Shaanxi, he would not hesitate to join the Red Army to defend his land. This shows that the Red Army today is different from the Red Army in the past, and at least its military resources are extremely sufficient. To fight Shaanxi again is to fight against the entire Shaanxi people, not just against the Red Army. Its ending, its consequences, the group dare not think about it again. In addition, the group also found in Shaanxi that the Red Army was carrying out large-scale reclamation and developing wasteland, and this move was extremely clever, and it was said that the slogan put forward by [***] was to do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, and to achieve self-sufficiency in food rations for the whole army next year, so as not to increase the burden on the people. These measures are bound to win the strong support of the people of Shaanxi. The Red Army's combat strength has also increased rapidly, according to Wen Bai and Ci Xiu's observations, in Xi'an, Liu Yimin's Seventh Army Corps directly under the troops, there are artillery regiments, heavy machine gun regiments, cavalry regiments, engineering regiments, baggage regiments, guard regiments, the Seventh Army Corps also has the Red 11th Division, 12th Division, 13th Division three main divisions and the only division, the only second division, the only third division, the only fourth division, a total of seven infantry combat divisions, most of the soldiers are captured [***] Gui Army, Hunan Army, Xue Yuebu, Hu Zong's southern elite soldiers, the troop set up is better and more reasonable than [***], The weapons used are all the equipment of our army's elite, and this unit not only has strong troops and excellent tactical quality, but also the soldiers are neatly dressed, the military appearance is majestic, and the morale is high, and its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Except for aircraft, our army has no advantage over Liu Yimin's Seventh Army Corps. To sum up, the group discussed with Zhong Hui, Wen Bai, and Ci Xiu, and implored the chairman of the committee to approve the cessation of combat preparations, and sincerely negotiated with [***] to conspire to resist the great cause. If the chairman of the NPC committee is determined to go to war, the group is not talented, and he does not want to bear the notoriety of the civil war again, so he asks the chairman to allow the group to resign from all the posts he holds and return to Sichuan to retire. Bow your head and bow again, and hope for the chairman's permission. ”

After writing it, Zhang Qun didn't let others watch it anymore, and directly called the confidential personnel to send it to Nanjing, and he was relaxed, went to drink tea and chat with Shao Lizi, and waited for Nanjing to call back.

After Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan returned to the corps headquarters, they immediately took Zeng Zhongsheng and went to report the detailed battle plan to [***], Zhu De, and Liu Bocheng, and after getting approval, they returned to the corps headquarters and immediately ordered the establishment of the river defense headquarters, with Zhang Hongtao, the commander of the Third Division, as the commander, and Liu Zhidan as the political commissar, to unify the command of the Third Division and the Red 27th Army, and the task was to block and delay the possible river-crossing raid launched by the Jin Sui Army; Ordered the establishment of the Tongguan front-line command, with Hong Chaoyuan, commander of the 2nd Independent Division, as the commander, Wu Huanxian, political commissar of the 25th Red Army, as the political commissar, and Xu Haidong, deputy commander of the 25th Red Army, as the chief of staff, to unify the command of the 2nd Division and the 25th Red Army, responsible for blocking and delaying the attack of the Central Army in the direction of Tongguan, with Weinan as the last position, and must hold on until the main force rushes back; ordered Huang Su and Cai Zhong to immediately lead the artillery regiment, heavy machine gun regiment, engineer regiment, cavalry regiment, and guard regiment to Baoji to join the 11th Division that had secretly arrived in Baoji and the Dusi Division that held Baoji; ordered the only division to stay in small forces to control Hanzhong, and the main force quickly went north to Tianshui to join the 13th division led by Li Qing; The 12th Division in Pingliang and Guyuan was ordered to immediately gather troops to Pingliang and prepare to move south to flank the main force of Majia's army. The Xi'an garrison task was entrusted to the baggage regiment, the cadre regiment of the Central Military Commission, and the security regiment, and the baggage regiment was under the direct command of Chief of General Staff Liu Bocheng.

After the deployment was completed, Liu Yimin sent a report to Li Lingfeng, the leader of the special operations brigade who had already entered Shanxi, preparing to carry out the battle plan and blow up the Tongpu Railway; Ordered Wang Laohu, who had infiltrated Luoyang, to prepare to attack Luoyang Airport.

Subsequently, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan, in the name of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region, ordered the Red Army's land reform work teams in the Weinan region, the Xi'an region, and the northern Shaanxi region to quickly mobilize the masses to carry out the clearing of the wilderness, so that the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army could not be allowed to snatch a grain of grain and drink a well water.

After the order was issued, the whole of Shaanxi entered a state of imminent war, and the clouds of war were thick in the hearts of every peasant who had just reaped the fruits of land reform. Everywhere grain is being buried, wells are being filled.

What Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan did not expect was that the militia ranks in various places suddenly swelled and grew, and the peasants who turned over were no longer willing to lose their land.

I waited all night, and I didn't wait for Nanjing to call back. Early in the morning, Zhang Qun, Shao Lizi, Zhang Zhizhong, and Chen Cheng got up for a walk. Walked to Lintong Street to see, a few people were surprised, yesterday was still very lively Lintong Street, at this time quietly, the shops have been closed, occasionally people pass by, but also in a hurry. The walls facing the street have been covered with slogans of the Red Army, which are basically "Resolutely repel the attack of the Central Army and defend the fruits of the victory of land reform!" "Defeat Chiang Kai-shek, who specializes in civil war!" "The Red Army will win!" "Mobilize, fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, and prevent the Central Army from finding a grain of grain and drinking a well of water!" "Wait.

A short distance ahead, I saw a long queue at the door of the garrison barracks, Shao Lizi stepped forward to ask, only to know that it was all young and middle-aged people from the surrounding villages who came to sign up for the Red Army.

Chen Cheng felt incredible, so he stopped a young man and asked if it was the Red Army cadres who forced him to join the Red Army?

The young man glanced at Chen Cheng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, and said: "No one forced Russia, Russia voluntarily became a Red Army." ”

Chen Cheng asked him again why he wanted to be in the Red Army? The young man replied: "The purpose of the Russian Red Army is to fight the Central Army, and these scoundrels should be fought!" The Russian family has been carrying long-term labor for the landlords, and finally has their own land, and the Central Army is going to come to fight the Russians and rob the Russian land, these dogs are really not a good thing! Russia wants to be the Red Army and beat them up bastards! ”

Chen Cheng's heart was cold, so he asked the young man with a smile: "It's dangerous to fight, it's going to die, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

The young man laughed: "I said why are you so stupid, who is not afraid of death!" However, the hungry family had no land and no food before, and they were all guilty of living. Now that there is finally hope, the Central Army will come to fight the Russians again. If they want to fight, won't Russia have to eat wild vegetables and grass roots like before? You can rest assured, Russia is not afraid of death, even if it dies, it will pull two cushions. ”

Chen Cheng did not give up, so he said to the young man: "The Central Army is the National Revolutionary Army, the army of the country, and the revolutionary, and it is not right to fight the Central Army." ”

The young man looked incredulous: "The Central Army is revolutionary? Who do you coax? Who doesn't know that the Central Army only protects the powerful, rich, and landed? If the Central Army is revolutionary, could it be that we, the common people, have become counter-revolutionaries? I won't tell you, Russia is going to sign up. ”

Chen Cheng had no choice but to return to Zhang Qun, Shao Lizi, and Zhang Zhizhong with a depressed face.

Shao Lizi asked Chen Cheng: "Resignation, what are the gains?" ”

Chen Cheng said sullenly: "This battle can't be fought!" ”

Zhang Zhizhong said to Zhang Qun: "Let's go back, urge Nanjing, and see why we don't call back." Here, the Red Army is stepping up its pre-war preparations, and it has begun to clear the wilderness, and it is estimated that if the chairman wants to fight, it will soon be launched. Otherwise, the Red Army would not have started mobilizing now. ”

Zhang Qun said: "This Red Army is also yes, didn't I ask Zhou Enlai to restrain the Red Army from suspending military preparations yesterday afternoon?" The chairman of the committee hasn't called back yet, why did they start preparing for war? ”

Zhang Zhizhong smiled: "There are extenuating circumstances, no matter who it is, they will step up their preparations." Although it has made a statement, the central government has not expressed its position after all, but there are still hundreds of thousands of troops outside this Tongguan! ”

After returning to his residence, Zhang Qun sent a telegram to Nanjing, urging Chiang Kai-shek to report more and give specific instructions. Chen Cheng also wrote a text message, reporting his views to Chiang Kai-shek, and urging Chen to hold peace talks.

Chiang Kai-shek was roasting on a fire at this time.

He did not expect that Zhang Qun would be so resolute in calling for an armistice and peace talks, and would not hesitate to threaten to resign, completely disappointing his expectations.

After the anger, he carefully read Zhang Qun's call, and found that his old classmate really thought that [***] was a sincere negotiation, and even the army was willing to adapt, so that the central government lost the excuse to fight. Second, he is afraid that the defeat of the central government will not be able to end, and it is also for his own good. This Zhang Qun, Chen Cheng, and Zhang Zhizhong are all cronies among their cronies and descendants among their descendants, and even they are so resolute in demanding peace talks, could it be that the red bandits have really gained a firm foothold in Shaanxi, so that these people are not optimistic about the encirclement and suppression that is about to begin?

Looking at the formation of the Red Seventh Army that Zhang Qun said, Chiang Kai-shek himself gasped, when did the Red Bandits grow to such a point! A corps actually has seven divisions, and the technical arms directly under it are so powerful, if this is really opened, not to mention that a division or an army is not sure of victory, even if 100,000 people encounter such a force, I am afraid the problem is also very serious.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was in an irritable mood, was even more annoyed when he heard on the radio the news that the KMT-CCP negotiations had made a major breakthrough, that the [***] side had expressed its willingness to accept the leadership of the Nationalist Political Axe, and that the Red Army was willing to change its name to the National Revolutionary Army. He knew that this was forcing him to obey step by step, so that he couldn't fight if he wanted to. I'm afraid that those open-boiled parties and local forces are going to make a big fuss again.

Sure enough, when I woke up in the morning, it was reported on the radio that all the Ming Cook parties had issued statements welcoming the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, urging the political axe to stop the civil war and unite to resist it. Mrs. Sun, Song Qingling, even called him directly, asking him not to miss the opportunity for peace talks and to live up to the expectations of the people of the whole country.

It looks like the big fight can't be fought for the time being. If you insist on going your own way, it may chill your subordinates. If defeated, the consequences will be even more disastrous. Although I still thought about defeating Shimono yesterday, isn't that angry? If there is a risk of stepping down, then why take the risk?

But let go of [***] like this, how can you not be reconciled! What to do?

The mobilization of the army is time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, it is all white silver! If this arrow is on the string, if it is not shot, won't it suffocate to death?

What to do? What to do?

Niang Xipi, why don't Zhang Qun and them understand their hard work, if this is really negotiated with [***], they will inevitably develop and grow in the future, and one day, those who advocate peace talks today must regret their death.

But at the moment, I can't convince them, if I really fight hard, this has not started a war yet, and my own position will be chaotic, how can I fight? If the front-line generals knew that the red bandits were willing to accept the adaptation and let them fight again, would they still have that murderous aura?

Chiang Kai-shek was in a dilemma, fighting, not being able to fight, talking, and unwilling. In the end, Chiang Kai-shek felt that since this [***] statement of obedience to the central leadership, it was nominally untenable to fight again. We must think of a way to let [***] be charged with sabotaging the armistice, so that we can enter the army reasonably and legally.

But [***] are not stupid, they will not sabotage the armistice negotiations. So what to do? If Ma Jiajun is allowed to fight first in the name of recovering the lost territory, the central government can always mediate by force! The red bandits now occupy Tianshui and Pingliang in Gansu, and there is only one division of troops in Tianshui, so Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang can concentrate their forces to fight Tianshui. As long as Tianshui is taken, the Shaanxi-Gansu border of the red bandits will be torn open. If they went well, their own Central Army and Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army would have moved to Xi'an in the name of mediating the conflict between local forces. As long as Xi'an is recaptured, I am afraid that no one will oppose his encirclement and suppression.

Yes, just do it, prepare with both hands. Wouldn't the communist bandits negotiate sincerely, then let them give up northern Sichuan first, cancel their pseudo-Shaanxi Ming boiled anti-political axe, and the red bandit troops accept the reorganization and give them the numbers of the three divisions. Force them to stop negotiating automatically. The other hand is to fight, let Ma Jiajun be the vanguard, try it first, and test the combat effectiveness of the red bandits. If Ma Jiajun wins, he will fight. If it doesn't work well, it's not too late to talk.

After thinking about it, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to Zhang Qun, congratulating him on the results of the negotiations, and expressing his personal condolences to Zhang Qun, saying that the country should not resign lightly when it was the time to employ people. Zhang Qun was asked to step up his work, let [***] give up the territory of northern Sichuan and the occupied Gansu, return to the territory of Shaanxi, cancel the privately established Shaanxi Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe, and reorganize the Red Army according to the Central Army system, which can be organized into three divisions.

Then, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang, and the central government supported them to recover the lost territory in Gansu. If the red bandits automatically withdraw, forget it, if the red bandits resist, they must resolutely eliminate the red bandits stationed in Tianshui, and then march to Baoji to seize Baoji.

After sending the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek thought that he was not at ease, so he sent a telegram to Xue Yue, Jiang Dingwen, and Liu Xiang, asking them not to relax their preparations for war for a moment and not to be interfered with by negotiations.

After receiving Chiang Kai-shek's telegram, Zhang Qun immediately guessed the intentions of his old classmate, and he wanted to force [***] to stop negotiating himself. Joke, the Red Army now has more than 200,000 main forces, and only three divisions are given numbers, isn't that a joke?

Zhang Qun's heart was cold, is [***] a fool? It is to cede northern Sichuan again, to cancel the political axe of Shaanxi's anti-Ming Dynasty, and to give only three divisions to the establishment, this chairman sincerely does not let himself have a good time! It's just that the job of the head of the negotiation team seems to be incompetent, so let's let the committee choose another high-minded person!

After Zhang Qun figured it out, he directly sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, resigning from his posts as chairman of Hubei Province and head of the negotiation group, and asking the chairman to choose another person to take up his post. He immediately set off, returned to Nanjing, and went home to recuperate.

After sending the telegram, Zhang Qun urgently made an appointment to meet Zhou Enlai to say goodbye. Shao Lizi, Zhang Zhizhong, and Chen Cheng all advised him to focus on the overall situation. At present, although the negotiations are difficult and the conditions put forward by the commission are too harsh, the commission has not closed the door to the negotiations. Some things don't have room to turn. At the very least, we have to wait for the committee to call back, and now go to say goodbye to Zhou Enlai, wouldn't that make [***] say that the committee is unwilling to negotiate peace and want to fight a civil war? Personal honor and disgrace are small matters, but the reputation of the leader must be effectively maintained?

Chiang Kai-shek was furious when he saw that Zhang Qun had sent a telegram to openly ask for his resignation, this Zhang Qun was so ignorant of advance and retreat, could it be that if he left Zhang Butcher, Lao Tzu would have to eat hairy pigs? As a member of the party-state, he didn't think about the future and fate of the party-state, and even threatened him with resignation, which is simply a bastard! Hateful!

In a fit of rage, Chiang Kai-shek was about to do it. But as soon as I looked up, I saw the word "anger" on the wall, endured my breath, sat down and calmed down for a while, and thought about how I was indeed wishful thinking, and this [***] did not win, why did the gangsters accept such harsh conditions? Who wants to spit out the fat that reaches their mouth? Besides, this group is no one else, it is the backbone who has been following him, and he has never shouted after years of hard work, this time I am afraid that he saw his intentions and did not want to be played with by himself, so he was sad and disappointed and asked to resign. It doesn't matter if he resigns, the people will put the hat of destroying the armistice on their heads, and they will not be able to speak clearly.

It's no wonder that [***] is too cunning, he has worked hard to mobilize the army, and he is finally deployed in place, and he is about to launch a thunderous blow, which [***] proposes to be willing to accept the leadership of the national political axe, and the troops are willing to adapt, and they will really choose the time!

I also blame my own troops for being too uncompetitive. Since the Red Bandits were transferred to Guizhou, there has not been a single good news, and the soldiers have been defeated in one battle, and the soldiers have been lost in another battle, and the backbone cadres have lost confidence. If only Hu Zongnan hadn't been allowed to rescue Mianyang, he would have made a wrong step and couldn't catch up step by step.

In any case, Zhang Qun can't be allowed to resign, forget it, let's tell him the truth!

So, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to Zhang Qun with earnest words: "Brother Yue Junjian: I have received a call. I don't know where Zhongzheng lost his virtue, so that his brother had to resign? My brother has been following the Zhongzheng Revolution for a long time, and he has made miraculous achievements, how can Zhongzheng have countless achievements in his brother's heart? However, this negotiation is related to the fate of the party-state, and the CCP has to think twice. Now that our army is deployed, we can launch an attack without saying anything. At this time, the communist bandits proposed to accept the leadership of the central government and accept the reorganization, which was really to avoid the attack of the army. However, now that the communists and bandits have put forward such conditions for peace talks, the central authorities really have no excuse for encirclement and suppression. As a member of the state, he should put the interests of the country first and plan for the country. In this situation, if the younger brother is in the status of a brother, where should he be? If peace talks are held with the communist bandits, they will certainly be able to delay their troops, and if the time comes, the communist bandits will inevitably grow and develop, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to achieve results in suppressing them with the strength of the whole country. If you don't negotiate with it, it will be difficult to stop the world. In such a situation, it is really difficult to decide. For the sake of today's plan, there is only one way to negotiate with the communists and bandits, and on the other hand, to make war arrangements. If the communists and bandits are really willing to give up their evil ideas and sincerely accept the leadership of the central authorities, the number of troops can be reduced by one or two divisions as appropriate. The lost land in northern Sichuan and Gansu must be recovered. Otherwise, the hinterland of Sichuan will be under the threat of communist bandits, which will affect the central government's grand strategic layout, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat. If the communists agree to the above conditions, the central authorities can allow them to recuperate in Shaanxi. If the communists and bandits do not agree, the central government is determined to encircle and suppress them. Even if the order is to fight to the last man, the red bandits cannot be allowed to be so rampant. Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang have been ordered to concentrate the main force to attack Tianshui, if the two horses succeed, then our army will attack on all fronts, recapture northern Sichuan and the Weihe Plain, and compress the main force of the red bandits in northern Shaanxi. If the two horses lose, the army will not move and negotiate wholeheartedly. Resolve the above issues through negotiations. This is a difficult reason, and my brother must understand. The proposed resignation is not allowed! Please be sure to work hard for the country and deal with the bandits. ”

(To be continued)
