Chapter 763: Son, Peace Talks, Hurley
Thinking of his son, he asked the chamberlain to inform Dai Li's to come to see him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info An hour later, Dai Li came to the official residence and said, "What is the matter with the principal looking for students?" "The principal has a trick, no matter how late it is, he has to come.
Chairman Jiang: "How much do you know about the situation in Dushan now?" ”
Dai Li: "Principal, I just received a telegram that the Japanese troops in Dushan may have retreated by themselves or by the guerrillas. Details are being verified. ”
He knew that it was impossible to hide it for Sun Yuanliang, and that would underestimate Lao Jiang's wisdom too much. His strategy was to tell the truth, to say that he was verifying, to gather facts, and to let the principal make a wise and accurate judgment.
Chairman Chiang: "I just want to know how serious the guerrilla problem is. He hoped in his heart that it was a militia group, not a guerrilla force led by Yan'an.
Dai Li: "This time, four or five thousand people appeared in Dushan, and they evacuated the refugees, and also collected food and military supplies, so that the Japanese army did not even have food and salt. After the Japanese retreated, it is said that they killed the captain of the Devil Wing who was the first to enter Dushan. In addition, there is information that guerrilla activities have appeared on the entire railway line in Guangxi, and there have been reports in many places that the guerrillas have demolished the railway, and that the Japanese army will not be able to leave Guangxi quickly. ”
Chairman Jiang: "Sure enough, it's the same as I thought: this is led by Yan'an." Ordinary militia groups in Guangxi are just surrounding villages, how can they gather thousands of people. ”
Dai Li: "Headmaster, if you let them develop freely, I'm afraid that one day, you won't be able to control it." ”
Chairman Chiang: "You have a lot of people to fight, right?" ”
Dai Li: "There's a lot to talk about below. ”
Chairman Chiang: "The guerrillas in Guangxi have all appeared in the areas occupied by the Japanese army. The army feared the enemy like a tiger and did not dare to go to enemy-occupied areas. What's more, the Gui family is bent on preserving their strength, and they are willing to watch the guerrillas defend their homeland and country. The Central Army is only a few armies, and if the Japanese army concentrates on fighting back to Guizhou, we will have no defense force. ”
Most of the expeditionary force was the Central Army, most of them were in the Indo-Burma theater of operations, and some were in Yunnan, and they were all commanded by Americans.
In a dilemma.
Chairman Jiang: "I came to you today, and there is one more thing, how is the investigation of Jing'er's affairs?" ”
As for his son, he used diplomatic resources to find out that he was missing in Vladivostok. It is suspected that it was hijacked by the Tohoku authorities at the time, but the Japanese did not mention this in private contacts at all. That's weird. Who is it? Could it be the newly rising Northeast Coalition Army?
After the Northeast Coalition Army recovered Harbin, Lao Jiang asked Dai Li to send personnel to enter Harbin, and soon. The news was collected, and the eldest son really worked in the Anti-Japanese Federation.
Dai Li: "I sent out dozens of people, and in the previous stage, they arrested many people in the name of cracking down on traitors. There are almost no locals left in our development. The people sent were also caught, and they died, losing more than half. There is good news today, one is that the eldest prince produces tanks in the arsenal in the northeast, and is the chief engineer and deputy director, and the technical authority. That is certain. The other good news is that you have a grandchild, or a granddaughter. ”
Chairman Chiang: "Really? Why didn't you say this earlier? ”
Dai Li: "The information sent by our inside line five days ago was not confirmed at that time, so we didn't dare to be reckless. The intelligence says that your daughter-in-law is pregnant again, and the child will be born in April next year. ”
Chairman Jiang was a little surprised, and said, "Has it been verified?" ”
Dai Li: "On the same day, I used another line to verify." The result just arrived today, and this is the telegram, which is unmistakable. Congratulations, Headmaster. As he spoke, he handed a telegram to Lao Jiang.
Chairman Jiang's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he said, "Oh. Be cautious when rescuing. Don't act recklessly if you're not sure. Don't hurt your child. ”
When it was determined that the eldest prince was in the Northeast Coalition Army, he planned to rescue him, but the conditions were never ripe. At the end of the Northeast War in the previous stage, the transportation conditions were ripe, but the eldest prince was promoted, and the defense measures were stricter.
Dai Li: "Yes. Headmaster. It seems that the rescue will be delayed. ”
Dai Li thought differently, he was calculating, it would not be easy to rescue the eldest prince. Moreover, this eldest prince doesn't know what kind of person he is, is it good to get along? How to get along?
Chairman Chiang: "However, we need to send more people to the Northeast." There can be no delay for a moment. ”
Dai Li: "Since you asked a few times, we have sent out hundreds of people, most of them from Henan, Hebei and Shandong. Among them, more than a dozen seasoned agents are at the helm. However, there are still some shortcomings. ”
Chairman Chiang: "What's the problem?" ”
Dai Li: "The problem now is that the Northeast is too big. The newcomers were sent to Outer Mongolia, Northeast China, and even Sakhalin. They kept registers, assigned land, assigned work, and managed strictly. After several agents went, there was no news at all. ”
Chairman Chiang: "We will continue to send it that night." This is what you will be focusing on for the next few years. ”
When Dai Li left, Chairman Chiang was in a good mood and was still unsatisfied, so he made several phone calls to direct the campaign. The latest telegrams sent in the 29th Army explained the positions of the various units of the 29th Army, and the chairman issued orders for which battalions were to arrive at what time and at what time, where the military headquarters was to arrive, how to organize a counterattack, and so on. When I wanted to rest, it was already late at night.
He is thinking a lot now, and even wants to recover Guangxi as soon as possible.
After commanding the counterattack in southern Guizhou and northern Guizhou in high spirits, it was already too late. The chairman decided to take a break.
Lately, he's been under too much pressure.
The Eighth Route Army regained a large area of land in the north, and the pressure of public opinion on him was enormous. How stressful is it? Under the combined pressure of the Americans, the warlords of Guangxi and Guangdong, he had already shot Chen Munong. Shooting the children of Whampoa, without huge pressure, will it come to this point?
I can't kill anymore, so I compromise, if I don't want to fight, I run, and I allow them to run. Anyway, they have occupied so many county towns and mass cities, and the Japanese have so many soldiers to manage there? I let the Chinese army run, and they have no chance of being a traitor. ,
Yan'an's power is getting stronger and stronger. The war will be won in a few years, and there will be no great advantage in the battle with Yan'an in the future. What to do?
In fact, President General had a very good strategic vision, and he knew that with his own army, it was inevitable that he would not be able to defeat the Japanese. As long as the troops do not become traitor troops, and the Japanese army has no helpers, then it can be dragged down. Even if the Japanese army continues to fight Guizhou and Chongqing, they are not afraid.
It would be nice if the United States had won early. If the United States wins in Europe, it can move its troops to Asia and defeat Japan. At that time, my millions of troops could annihilate the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chairman Chiang came up with several ideas and wrote them on a note: First, strive to expand the victory in southern Guizhou and northern Guizhou, so that the US military can see our victory. Second, a conscription campaign is being launched to recruit outstanding young people into the army. One more hundred thousand young men and one hundred thousand troops. Third, seek the invitation of the United States to attend the Yalta Conference. This is an international summit and must be attended.
In the past year, there have not been many good things that can be considered good for you, and that is to drive Stilwell away. In order to study China's position in the global strategy of the United States, President Roosevelt sent Vice President Wallace to visit China in June 1944. Wallace visited Chongqing, met with ****** and other senior officials, and exchanged views with Stilwell and other generals, as well as the ambassador to China. The conclusion was that the Chongqing government's ability to rule was low, and it was agreed that Stilwell became an obstacle to exchanges between the two countries.
Roosevelt still did not die, and in mid-August, Roosevelt made Stilwell a general, and repeatedly proposed that Chiang Zhongzheng hand over the troops of Chinese mainland to Stilwell's command. Roosevelt made his request to Chiang almost in a near-commanding tone, and Stilwell personally handed the telegram to Chiang Zhongzheng and recorded his feelings of relief in his diary.
Chiang replied to Roosevelt that if he wanted to hand over command to Stilwell, he would rather break away from the allies and resist Japan alone.
At this point, the contradictions between Chiang and Stilwell were irreconcilable, and the United States' impression of the Chongqing government had also dropped to the lowest point. On October 18, 1944, Roosevelt ordered Stilwell's removal, and Weidemeyer took over.
December 9, 1944.
President Jiang met with Hurley.
The president got straight to the point: "Does Zhou want to go back to Yan'an and break the negotiations?" ”
Hurley: "Yes. Yesterday, I negotiated with Zhou and Dong again, but there was still no result. ”
President General: "Yesterday, my army won a major victory against the Japanese army, the momentum of the Japanese army's attack on Guizhou has been curbed, General Sun Yuanliang repelled the Japanese army in Dushan County, pursued dozens of kilometers, and is still pursuing today. According to my analysis, in the next few days, I will chase it to the Hechi area of Guangxi. ”
Hurley: "Yes. I know the good news. I believe that Chongqing is safe, and several airfields of our US Air Force do not have to give up. ”
Hurley arrived in Chongqing in early September as the president's personal envoy, and on November 7, he visited Yan'an, where he reached a five-point draft agreement with Mao Zhou and others. Zhou Gong accompanied him back to Chongqing to continue the peace talks.
Sure enough, he did not accept the "Draft Five-Article Agreement", and the next day, Song Ziwen sent a new draft, that is, three counter-proposals, the main points of which were: "1. The Nationalist Government allows the **** army to be reorganized and recognizes **** as a legitimate political party. 2. All armed forces should be transferred to the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government under the jurisdiction of the National Government, and the Nationalist Government shall appoint the generals to participate in the Military Commission as members. 3. The goal of the National Government is to realize the Three People's Principles of the country. ”
Although Hurley was embarrassed, he handed over the "three counter-proposals" to Zhou on November 21.
Zhou's question: "What is ****** attitude towards the coalition government?"
Hurley replied: "Chiang allowed the Communists to participate in the government, but he did not want to write it on the proposal."
"The participation in the government and military committees mentioned here is only in name and has no real power, which shows that the Kuomintang has no sincerity in changing the dictatorship of ********." "Is China's unity premised on a coalition government? Is the coalition government reasonable and democratic? Can the participating government only be an observer, but not a real power? ”
Hurley: "I'm a witness, not a client. The coalition government is, of course, democratic, but the draft five-point agreement is not without changes. Entering the government is equivalent to having no real power, but it is also man-made, for example, members of our parliament, some of whom are able to control the parliament. ”
On November 30, 1944, Hurley was officially inaugurated as ambassador during the negotiations.

1, it is said that Lao Chiang's strategy is okay, but he can't command the army, but he has to command. He often commanded at the battalion level, which made it very difficult to do it below. In fact, this is blind command.
