Chapter 1212 goes further

The Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee finally reached a consensus on the fourth day of the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek controlled the party, government and military power as he wished, and the first thing he did after completing all the work was to issue an announcement in the form of a resolution of the Central Committee, vetoing the "Eight Proposals" put forward by Zhang Xueliang during the Xi'an Incident.

Two days later, the Third Plenum of the CPC Central Committee quickly passed the "Case for Eradicating the Red Scourge," the main contents of which included: 1. Completely abolishing the Red Army and other armed forces under the guise of a name, and unifying the military order establishment of the armed forces throughout the country; 2. The complete abolition of the so-called Soviet government and all organizations and regimes that undermine unity; 3. Fundamentally stop the propaganda of redness; Fourth, the class struggle should be fundamentally stopped.

The series of resolutions of the Third Session of the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China meant that there was no room for coordination between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the people from all walks of life across the country, who had been hoping to stop the civil war and unite with the outside world, were once again in a state of confusion and confusion.

The only thing that can bring comfort to the people of the whole country is a series of achievements in national construction, following the opening of the long-distance telephone network in the southwestern provinces, the long-distance telephone project from Syria to Chongqing to Xi'an has been completed and put into use; The Neijiang-Chongqing section of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway is progressing smoothly; Smooth radio communication between Kunming and Nanjing, Shanghai and Xi'an; The highway network of various counties in western Hubei and the highway network in Chongqing have been basically completed, with a mileage of more than 7,000 kilometers of construction and expansion, and six national highways, including Wuhan to Changsha, Wuhan to Yichang, Yichang to Chongqing, and Chongqing to Qijiang, have been opened to traffic, bringing vitality to the economic development of more than 70 counties along the way.

The remaining important resolution, which will most bring prestige to the government and Chiang Kai-shek, is that Chiang Kai-shek, the newly elected president of ***, solemnly announced at the closing ceremony:

From now on, we will open up speech, concentrate talents to strengthen the country's economic construction and national defense construction, and pardon criminals and give them the road to rehabilitation.

This announcement is undoubtedly a good hope for the people from all walks of life across the country to stop the civil war and unite as one, and it is also a rare enlightened move since the establishment of the government.

In a seemingly festive situation, the sharp contradictions between the government and the government have been greatly weakened, and the underground war between the army and the secret services of the army has tended to be white-hot:

On the second day after the closing of the meeting, the Central Party Department and the Nanjing Central Government organized tens of thousands of representatives from all walks of life in Nanjing to jointly hold a ceremony to commemorate the martyrs of Xi'an; Liu Zhi and Shang Zhen held a public trial meeting in Zhengzhou, and made a verdict on the execution of seven major spies, including the traitor Zhao Longtian, who was captured in the "*** secret service case"; Two armed escort freighters, due to "rain and fog and high waves and strong winds", in the middle of the night of the 23rd in the waters near Wenzhou a strong collision and then sank, among them, from Guangzhou carrying a large amount of gold and silver of the Japanese ship "Nanjin Maru" cargo ship is the most important, two ships 37 crew members and dozens of armed escort personnel are all missing, it is speculated that the materials and crew of the two ships have been buried at the bottom of the sea, the next morning, received an urgent report of the Navy quickly dispatched four warships, at the fastest speed to brave the rain and waves to rush to the sea area of the incident. The consular officials stationed in Shanghai and Hangzhou quickly made speeches, mourning the victims, and sternly warned the Nanjing government and any other forces not to attempt to obstruct the search and alert operation of the warship, and strictly prohibit interference with the "normal rescue" operation of the salvage ship, otherwise it will be regarded as a war provocation.

On the third day after the shipwreck, Yin Rugeng, the leader of the traitors in North China, held a "*** rally" in Tianjin, shouting for the autonomy of North China, recognizing "Manchukuo", and encouraging all walks of life in North China to "work together to develop the economy for common prosperity and realize Sino-Japanese cooperative mining and railway construction in the whole of North China as soon as possible"; The traitor forces in the Shanhaiguan area frequently launched attacks on the Chinese garrison and police, killing and wounding more than 20 Chinese garrison, police and customs anti-smuggling personnel; All the members of the board of directors of the North China Chamber of Commerce strongly condemned the Nanjing government and demanded that the Nanjing government "hand over the murderer of Mr. Hou Wuliang, director of the Sino-Japanese Communist Association and president of the Beiping Chamber of Commerce." The responsible person of the Beiping secret service immediately issued a "solemn warning," saying that if the assassination incidents that occurred one after another were not properly resolved and due compensation was due, the Japanese army would retaliate 100 times for it.

The chaotic situation seems to have no effect on An Yi, in the successive meetings of the Central Executive Committee and the Standing Committee, An Yi was very calmly re-appointed as the Central Executive Committee and the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, An Yi also quickly fulfilled his power and responsibility into the role, and began to adjust the relevant departments under his leadership, everything was carried out in an orderly and unhurried manner.

Compared with Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Li Pinxian respectively appointed as the deputy commander and chief of staff of the Fifth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Wang Chonghui officially replaced Zhang Qun as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Zhang Qun was transferred to the secretary general of the Central Standing Committee An Yi deserves a higher position and honor.

What the outside world doesn't know is that An Yi has indeed gained greater power, as a member of the Standing Committee and deputy chief of the General Staff, An Yi's power has been greatly strengthened: assisting the chairman of the Military Commission in formulating the overall military strategic plan, responsible for the leadership of the Fourth Office of the General Staff, an important military intelligence agency, supervising the recruitment of recruits and the training of the whole army, serving as the chairman of the Army Consolidation Committee and the supervisory member, responsible for supervising the review of the army's equipment and military budget.

The outside world doesn't understand that An Yi has three seemingly nominal supervision positions, and they don't pay due attention to it, and many newspapers don't even bother to mention it, but the generals of the whole army are all awe-inspiring:

The whole team, including the Central Army, not only needs An Yi's signature and consent for mobilization and garrisoning, but also equipment replacement and replenishment, soldier replenishment, expansion of various departments, military expenditure applications, etc., must also be signed and agreed by An Yi, otherwise it is useless to hang himself in a hurry.

The underlying reason is that half of this year's budget for the whole cost has to rely on An Yi's mediation to solve it and borrow money everywhere; Half of the weapons and equipment of the whole *** team need to be borne by the arsenal under An Yi; The recruitment, training, and pre-distribution of recruits in the seven provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Henan, and Shaanxi are also all under the sole responsibility of An Yi, deputy chief of the general staff.

Because of this, An Yi, who holds real power, has quickly become hot in the army, and he is more awe-inspiring than many high-ranking military and political officials.

On the afternoon of March 9, An Yi, who attended the grand award ceremony, put away the first-class Baoding medal, took off the majestic general's dress, and had no time to attend the National Scout Academy Exercise Conference held the next day.

The next day, An Yi accompanied Chiang Kai-shek and his entourage to Lushan to attend a special meeting of the generals of the Central Army, inspect the situation of the Lushan training camp, and prepare for the talks with the representatives of the **** in late March.

An Yi was in charge of military reorganization affairs, and together with Zhang Qun and others, who were in charge of the first aspect, he made suggestions for the negotiations between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai.

After the Xi'an incident, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began normal contacts again, and the ** delegation represented by Zhou Enlai held six meetings and negotiations with the first negotiators Gu Zhutong and Zhang Chong in Xi'an and Lintong respectively.

During this period, Zhou Enlai, as the former director of the Huangpu Military Academy, talked with Huangpu graduates many times, and asked the Central Committee to send Chen Geng, a first-term student of Huangpu, to Xi'an to work together as a general of the Huangpu Department, so as to facilitate the smooth progress of the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Republic.

The content of the conversation between Zhou Enlai and the Whampoa generals was presented to Chiang Kai-shek without exception, and An Yi, as the deputy chief of general staff in charge of military intelligence, naturally had a clear understanding, and even many private meetings that Chiang Kai-shek did not understand, An Yi also received secret reports.

During the preliminary talks, Zhang Chong kindly proposed that the main force of the Red Army could be organized into four divisions and 16 regiments, and that it could also be organized into two manual divisions, with a total of 60,000 troops. In order to achieve the desired goal of the peace talks, Zhang Chong, who was bent on promoting cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, also suggested that it would be best to do Chiang Kai-shek's ideological work through Chiang Ching-kuo in the Soviet Union.

However, Chiang Kai-shek vetoed Zhang Chong's opinion, and on March 8, he sent He Zhenhan, who had made meritorious contributions, to Xi'an to assist Zhang Chong, and pulled Gu Zhutong, who had received Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, to negotiate again with Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying, members of the ** delegation, and after fierce bargaining, the two sides finally formed an "eight-point agreement", among which, the content of An Yi's affairs is:

The title of the Red Army was cancelled, it was reorganized into the National Revolutionary Army, subject to the unified command of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government and Chiang Kai-shek, and the personnel, supplies and supplements were given the same treatment as the Army. Its troops are organized into three national defense divisions, including six brigades and 12 regiments, and other directly subordinate engineering, artillery, communications, and baggage units......

However, the content of this agreement was changed due to He Jinhan's eagerness, and it became "The Red Army was reorganized into three divisions with a total of 30,000 people, and the political training personnel were sent by the Nanjing Government to participate, and the deputy posts at all levels were also appointed by the Nanjing Government, and the "popular election system" was abolished, and the "popular election" was changed to "locality", and even the important clause in the agreement requiring Ma Bufang's troops to stop attacking the Red Army's Western Route Army was deleted.

How could Zhou Enlai agree to such harsh conditions? He believed that it was no longer practical to continue negotiations with Gu and He in Xi'an, and demanded direct talks with Chiang Kai-shek in order to achieve a fundamental solution to the problem.

Zhou Enlai quickly met with Zhang Chong and proposed that the "38 Agreement" be sent directly to Chiang Kai-shek, rejecting He Jinhan's proposal, but saying that the two parties would not waver because of the He case.

Because of this, after thinking about it repeatedly, Chiang Kai-shek decided to hold talks with Zhou Enlai to solve this problem as soon as possible, and An Yi was also pulled in, and he was about to meet Director Zhou of the former Whampoa Military Academy, who had not been seen for ten years.
