Chapter 171 Nanjing Yin Wind
After the CCP delegation arrived in Nanjing, it was arranged in a three-entry courtyard at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain. This house is a building after the Republic of China, which has both antique style and contemporary characteristics. The members of the delegation lived in the second courtyard, and the special combat personnel and service personnel lived in the front and rear courtyards. There is a small garden in this three-hall courtyard, which is probably a place for leisure and walking according to the owner's preferences. The scene of greeting was quite grand, and Song Ziwen, foreign minister of the Nationalist Government, personally greeted him at the wharf.
It was impossible for Chiang to show his face until a formal peace agreement was signed. On the same day, reporters from Nanjing's major newspapers, including European and American journalists, gathered at the delegation's residence, and Enlai took the opportunity to hold a press conference and preach the contents and propositions of the peace talks. After Enlai finished speaking, he answered the reporter's questions, and his sharp language and quick thinking defense made some suspicious reporters understand what a wise man is. Ouyang Jian did not show up, which inevitably disappointed most of the reporters present.
The next day, Nanjing's major media reported the content of the press conference, especially Enlai's noble qualities of being free-spirited, sensitive, discerning, and quick-witted. Of course, there are also negative reviews, which is naturally Chen Bui's masterpiece. The negative rhetoric is that the Communist Party is under the pretext of resisting Japan, and in essence it is under the control of foreign forces and engaged in a great split. Since it was a verbal criticism, Enlai used Wu Hao as a pen name to publish a series of articles on an influential piece of paper, responding to untruths.
Enlai recalls the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, how the Communists took the lead in establishing meritorious service in the Northern Expedition, and the split was caused by the Kuomintang, and lists a large number of facts. As for being controlled by foreign forces, Enlai solemnly declared that the Communist Party of China is, will never accept the control of external forces. One China and one nation will never change. Subsequently, Enlai stressed that the national crisis is at the forefront, and all political prejudices should be put aside and the formation of a united front of the whole people should be formed as soon as possible.
Two days after the public opinion war, Soviet diplomats came to visit and unceremoniously pointed out what the CCP meant. Faced with the Soviet diplomat's questioning, Ouyang Jian said in fluent Russian: "Comrade XX, in the future, the relationship between the Chinese and Soviet parties will be equal, mutual respect, and mutual benefit. At present, China is facing the threat of Japanese militarism, and the survival of the nation is a matter of great importance, and no external forces can interfere in China's internal affairs. ”
The Soviet diplomats were stunned, surprised, and confused, and in short, they could not understand what had changed in the CCP. Faced with Ouyang Jian's polite eviction order, he had to leave depressedly. There is no doubt that the Soviet Union, including the Comintern, knew what was happening, which meant that there was a change of power within the Communist Party, and the implication was that Wang Ming was purged of the core of power. Not to mention what countermeasures the Soviet Union adopted, and the political offensive that Chen Bui had so hard planned was aborted.
A few days before the formal negotiations, Lao Chiang convened the main negotiators to discuss: "It seems that the Communist Party has come prepared and made careful plans. After Mao came to power, he immediately decided to get rid of the control of Soviet Russia, which we did not expect, since the Communist Party recognized that under the leadership of the Nationalist Government, the name of the Red Army must be revoked. First, all Red Army units were reorganized into the National Revolutionary Army, and second, the Communist Army was reduced to 11 divisions. Third, except for Yan'an in Jiangxi, Fujian, and Shaanxi, the Communists were not allowed to establish a red regime in other areas, and the policy of confiscating landlords' land was stopped. The above three points are the main points of the peace talks. ”
He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs, said: "President, if the army is reduced, the Communist Party will definitely not be able to agree. "That's our bottom line, no compromise." Seeing that Lao Chiang's attitude was very resolute, Chen Bui said: "Mr. Chiang, I judge that the Communist Party will definitely make substantial concessions in order to promote peace talks at an early date, but it will certainly not make concessions in reducing the army. Therefore, we can make a fuss about this and prove that the Communist Party is not sincere! "Anyone who knows me is also hiko, limiting the number of communist troops is the central task of our current peace talks." Lao Chiang set the tone for the negotiations.
"Zhou Enlai, vice chairman of the Communist Party, has been very active in recent days, and this is nothing more than a trick to get support from feelings. Director Dai, your Military Command Bureau should pay close attention to the contacts between the military and the representatives of the Communist Party, and this time Ouyang Jian, a military wizard of the Communist Party, is also here, so you should pay special attention to his activities. "Yes! Wear a hat and a head. Chen Bui said: "Everyone understands Mr. Jiang's words. Even though the Communist Party has a thousand brilliant plans, we have a certain end, and we must make the Communist Party compromise on disarmament; this is the main purpose of our current peace talks! “
Everyone knew in their hearts that Lao Chiang had grasped the crux of the issue, and that the Communist Party would not budge on the issue of reducing the army, and the signing of a peace agreement was not destined to be smooth sailing. Enlai's diplomatic talent is superb, allowing Ouyang Jian to truly see Enlai's mediation ability and the superb art of communicating with people. Like a robot, Enlai meets with an average of more than 10 people every day. During this period, Chen Bui also made a special trip to visit, and he was known as the courage of the Kuomintang, but he was far worse than Enlai in terms of eloquence.
Enlai seized every opportunity to make friends with people from all sides and use it to gain support to create conditions for the early signing of a peace agreement. Every time he met with the democratic parties and people from all walks of life, Ouyang Jian accompanied him, which increased Enlai's popularity. The guests not only felt Enlai's noble character, but also saw the legendary figure of the Communist Party. On this day, the ministers of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany gathered at the delegation's residence, and Ouyang Jian not only served as an escort and temporarily served as an interpreter.
Britain, the United States and France hoped that China would enter a period of peace as soon as possible, which would help pass on its domestic economic crisis, while Germany did not want China to disappear, otherwise the weapons and ammunition they produced would be sold to anyone. Now that the Communist Party has become more powerful, it is natural for the ministers of several countries to explore the truth and the truth. Political mediation is Enlai's forte, and naturally the ministers of several countries have obtained satisfactory answers in the political and economic fields.
The beautiful and majestic Zhongshan Tiger sits in the ancient city of Nanjing, and on the top of the mountain, in the dense weeds, Shinobu Kui took a telescope to inspect the residence of the Chinese Communist delegation, and the expression on his face was a little depressed. The CCP delegation was heavily guarded, with the guard units of the Party army acting as guards on the periphery and the Red Army's special combat unit at the core. Having a terrifying special operations team on guard was enough to make Sokai shiver. He had heard about the Red Army's special combat teams for a long time, especially when he saw that they were carrying sniper rifles and wearing camouflage uniforms, and there was no doubt that they were opponents of the same level as himself.
In addition, Shinobu Kujing successively obtained Ouyang Jian's information, and when he learned that Ouyang Jian was also a good sniper, his self-confidence was suddenly hit. Since the CCP delegation came to Nanjing, Shinobu Kuai began to look for opportunities, but opportunities were too difficult to find. Condescending observation is the distance of the telescope, not the range of a sniper rifle. Shinobu Sokai carefully inspected the perimeter cordon, and although the soldiers were loyal and heavily guarded, he didn't think it was a big problem to cross the perimeter cordon, but observing the inner cordon made him gasp.
With the professional eye of a killer, Shinobu Kukai saw that although there were only a few sentries in camouflage uniforms in the Sanjin courtyard where the CCP delegation lived, the other sentries could not see it at all. It is impossible to have only ordinary sentinels, and it is inferred that the vigilant sentries are in the shadows. Shinobu Kukai concluded that the Red Army's special forces were well-trained, their sniping skills were superb, and they were a whole, and it seemed that it would be difficult to enter the CCP delegation. After a few days of observation, Shinobu Kui decided that there was no chance of assassination. Soon, there was an order from the Mei Agency, and there was a place to find a chance to start, and it was the only one. Shinobu Sorai saw Mei's order, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
On this day, the sky is clear, and the sun rarely shows a smiling face, which also indicates the end of the rainy season in Jiangnan. With the arrival of the CCP delegation in Nanjing, Nanjing No. 1 Prison, the treatment of detained Communist Party political prisoners has become better. The small courtyard where Wen Ting lives in the interior of the prison seems quiet and peaceful. In addition to not being able to leave the small courtyard, Lu Wenting can move freely in the courtyard. At this time, Lu Wenting was walking in the courtyard, and Zhong Wenjuan walked in. She came to visit Lu Wenting today, and made an exception not to wear a military uniform, but to wear a white cheongsam, in order to avoid Wen Ting's disgust.
Seeing Zhong Wenjuan walk in, Lu Wenting just looked at the other party calmly, still not enthusiastic. "Cousin-in-law, I have good news for you, my cousin arrived in Nanjing with the CCP delegation, the KMT and the CCP officially began negotiations, and the day of your reunion is not far off." Lu Wenting blushed when she heard her fair face, and although she was excited in her heart, she tried to restrain herself. They had never started a mountain alliance with each other, and they had never even confessed to each other in person, but Ouyang Jian's letter had already made them heart-to-heart, and the people who thought about it day and night were about to be reunited, and the huge joy made her nervous. “
"Cousin-in-law, you are deeply affectionate, and some people have made up sad stories and serialized them in the newspaper, which has touched many infatuated men and women. Although the plot of the story is full of branches and leaves, most of it is fictional, but I can't help but cry every time I read it. This time my cousin came to Nanjing, which attracted more media attention, and many reporters gathered in front of the prison gate every day to try to inquire about your situation. Cousin, with his cousin's personality, he will come to visit you. After Zhong Wenjuan finished speaking, she opened the package she was carrying and continued: "Cousin-in-law, I have ordered a few sets of clothes for you, and you will dress yourself up more beautifully when you meet." “
Just as Zhong Wenjuan was talking to Lu Wenting, a donkey cart delivering vegetables appeared in front of the prison gate. The driver was black-faced and wore a broken straw hat, and the donkey cart stopped in front of the prison gate. "Why didn't Lao Wang come today?" The soldier standing guard asked. "Master Bing, I am Lao Wang's nephew, his old man has been itchy recently, let me deliver food instead, please make it convenient for Master Bing." After the man who was driving the car finished speaking, he took out two silver dollars and stuffed them into the sentry's hand. The sentinel understood it, and after a routine check, he let him go. The person who drove the car was none other than the killer Shinobu Kui.
Aiming at Ouyang Jian's fiancée, Lu Wenting, was the idea of Yoshiko Kawashima, who believed that the release of Communist political prisoners could only be achieved after the signing of the Kuomintang-Communist peace negotiation agreement. During this period, Ouyang Jian will definitely propose to visit his fiancée, and the national government will definitely provide convenient conditions. There was no doubt that this was the only chance to assassinate Ouyang Jian, so Mei ordered Ouyang Jian to be assassinated in prison.
