Bai Chongxi believed that the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army was low, and instead of handing over these weapons and equipment to the Eighth Route Army, it was better to use them to equip the new army, and besides, the whole army of the national army also needed equipment. //、М/

Chen Cheng also objected, believing that even if Yan'an agreed, it would open its mouth, and he believed that if this plan was implemented, it would facilitate GCD's land grabbing.

"Taking southern Hebei as an example, the Eighth Route Army took advantage of our army's counteroffensive and occupied the area first, and immediately organized local political power and refused the administrative agencies sent by the government.

Lin Wei understood Zhuang Jihua better, and he defended Zhuang Jihua: "According to intelligence, the Japanese army is transferring troops from Soviet Russia, Nanyang, and Jiangnan to reinforce North China, and in the next few months, the Japanese army will gather about 400,000 troops in North China, and this degree of concentration will be unprecedented. Judging by the war as a whole, for our army to defeat the enemy, it must outnumber them by more than three times.

On the other hand, if the two parties cannot reach an agreement, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army will be behind us, and if they do something abnormal, our million-strong army will be wiped out. ”

The last sentence moved Chiang Kai-shek, and also shook Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng, who were silent, and Bai Chongxi asked rhetorically: "But the worries of resignation also exist, can the Cultural Revolution guarantee that the CCP will withdraw from those areas after the war?" ”

Lin Wei certainly did not dare to make such a guarantee for Zhuang Jihua, he said calmly: "Chairman, from now on, the biggest obstacle to the construction of the country in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is the issue of Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army, two governments, and two armies. ”

Since the Anti-Japanese War, this problem has repeatedly appeared, and now it is in front of Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek had a great headache about this problem, and he felt that no matter what he conceived, it seemed that there was no way, and the CCP must first solve the problem of the government, and then solve the problem of the army. Zhuang Jihua seized the Hao Pengju incident in Shandong and took some initiative for the government, but on the whole, he was still passive.

But now, this problem has reached the point where it has to be solved, but how to solve it? Chiang Kai-shek had countless hearts in his heart, he thought about it and said: "Is this good, let the Cultural Revolution and He Jinhan talk to Zhou En in Jinan, talk about it first, and tell him that if the CCP is unwilling to cancel the Yan'an government, then this counterattack on the area occupied by the Eighth Route Army must be discussed, in addition, the number of troops should be added, well, at most two divisions will be added, Division B." In addition, we gave them the chairman of Hebei Province back then, but this time we have to adjust it, and we can't hand over Hebei to them. ”

Lin Wei frowned slightly, Chiang Kai-shek's words were ambiguous, and it was difficult to understand what he wanted, for example, the areas occupied by the Eighth Route Army in the counteroffensive should be discussed, whether the Eighth Route Army should be handed over to the National Army, or only partially. However, from Chiang Kai-shek's words, it can be seen that Chiang Kai-shek was inclined to provide some weapons and equipment to the Eighth Route Army.

"Since the Soviet army launched a counteroffensive in Mongolia, Stalin was bound to make demands on the distribution of interests in the Far East after the war at the Tehran Conference, and I estimate that he would make demands on the northeast of our country, as well as Sakhalin Island, such as the Middle East Road, how should we respond? "Chiang Kai-shek's main concern now is not Yan'an, nor North China, but the Tehran Conference, and in another week, he will fly to Tehran to meet with the heads of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union."

"Minister Wang," Chiang Kai-shek turned his head and said to Wang Chonghui: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should also make preparations in advance, Stalin will not be reconciled, the interests of the Far East have been taken away by us, the Cultural Revolution, it was suggested that Soviet Russia be drawn into the occupation of Japan, Japan has four islands, our four countries, each occupies one island, and the four northern islands can be assigned to Soviet Russia, you go back and draw up a plan, and hand it over to me before going to Tehran." ”

When Chiang Kai-shek had a headache, Wang Jialing was full of excitement and relaxation, and after Zhou EN's telegram arrived in Yan'an, it caused a sensation in the Politburo. In the evening in Wangjialing, the fragrance of millet wafted everywhere, Zhang Tian and Zhu D gathered in the mZD cave, and a pot of nests was placed on the table as before, but the three people sitting around had no appetite at all.

"I said that a lot of General Zhuang's practices are not normal, it turns out that his foothold is here, if it is true, I think it is okay." Zhu D smiled happily.

Zhou EN's telegram was divided into three parts, one was the result of the negotiations on the Hao Pengju incident, and the other was Zhuang Jihua's concept of the war in North China; Another key is the relationship between Zhuang Jihua and the third party, as well as Zhuang Jihua's deployment after the war.

"I think it's true, otherwise I can't explain why Admiral Zhuang wants to secretly help Deng Yanda." mZD clapped his hands, straightened his clothes, and stood up excitedly, to be honest, don't look at Yan'an's toughness everywhere when dealing with relations with the Kuomintang, but the senior leaders of the Communist Party of China know in their hearts that the Kuomintang has an overwhelming advantage in both military and economic terms, let's just talk about the army, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang fought against Japan, every battle must be lost, the Japanese army easily occupied North China, broke into Shanxi, except for Zhuang Jihua fought a counterattack in Nanjing, there was basically no good performance, and the CCP was a little contemptuous of the Kuomintang.

But then in the two battles of Jinpu Road, the performance of the Kuomintang army surprised the CCP, and the Fifth Theater not only blocked the Japanese attack, but also took advantage of the situation to counterattack and destroy tens of thousands of Japanese troops. In recent years, especially from last year to the present, the Kuomintang army has launched a counteroffensive on the frontal battlefield, eliminating hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops and recovering a large part of the country. Relatively speaking, although the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army has increased, the gap is still very large compared with the Kuomintang army's frequent elimination of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. Therefore, the leaders of the CCP such as the mZD have been worried about whether the Kuomintang will take military action against the CCP after the war.

In the conflicts between the two parties, although Zhuang Jihua tried his best to safeguard the interests of the Kuomintang, he did not deliberately suppress the CCP, and helped the CCP several times on his own initiative or covertly, persuading Chiang Kai-shek to provide weapons and ammunition for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. In addition, through the blade, Yan'an was able to roughly grasp Zhuang Jihua's ideological dynamics, so he insisted on the united front work against him.

From the telegram from Zhou EN, the mZD learned that the armed forces independently controlled by the third party had reached 300,000 people, and the excitement in his heart was overflowing, and the third party was a friendly army of the GCD, and the growth of their strength was what the CCP was willing and hoped to see.

"The growth of the armed forces of the third party will be of great help in eliminating civil war and ensuring peace in the country in the future." mZD waved his hand excitedly.

"The chairman is right," Zhu D's swarthy face glowed red, and his eyes narrowed together: "According to this trend, the total strength of General Zhuang and the Third Party after the miscellaneous war will be as high as one million, which is not a small force. ”

"I'm afraid that Admiral Zhuang took this into account when he formed a new army in the southwest," Zhang Tian took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table after eating, and lit it: "However, Lao Mao, to realize this idea, we still have to make some adjustments." ”

"Yes, that's right," the mZD waved his hand, "we can't put our hopes entirely on them, we GCDs must rely on ourselves." ”

"Whether it is the third party or the Zhuang Cultural Revolution, they are all representatives of the bourgeoisie, and our GCD represents the party of the broad masses of proletarian working people, and we are fundamentally different from them," mZD pondered for a moment after speaking: "Telegram EN come, our strategy remains unchanged, with the west of the Jizhong and Pinghan lines, in exchange for Suiyuan, especially the Daqingshan area, in exchange, we can assist Fu Zuoyi's troops to capture Zhangjiakou, and do not make any requirements for the area south of Zhangjiakou, but the base areas on both sides of the Yanshan Great Wall must be retained." ”

"According to the new situation, I suggest that You Jin Chaji send a strong force to advance to Rehe." Zhu D suggested.

At this moment, both mZD and Zhu D understand that Zhuang Jihua's chosen base must be the Northeast region, when GCD cannot turn a blind eye to the huge cake of the Northeast, it is inevitable to enter the Northeast, and the Rehe region is a natural springboard to enter the Northeast.

Prior to this, Jin-Cha-Ji had tried to march into Rehe several times, but the difficulty of Rehe was that Rehe was vast and sparsely populated, and the Japanese army carried out a brutal village movement in Rehe, which caused extremely difficult material support for the troops, and the winter in Rehe was very cold, which made it difficult for the troops to hold out in Rehe, and despite the great sacrifices, in the end only at the junction of Hebei and Rehe, retaining a small base area.

"Not only Rehe, but also Jidong, I think it is okay, since we can hold on to the Jizhong Plain, why can't Jidong?" At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the CCP launched a major uprising in eastern Hebei and seized nearly half of the eastern Hebei region, but under the counterattack of the Japanese army, the uprising quickly failed, and only a few troops withdrew to Jinchaji, but Zeng Kelin persevered in the eastern Hebei region and opened up an anti-Japanese base from Dushan to Luanhe.

"Yes, only by consolidating the base area of Rehe in eastern Hebei can we enter the northeast." Zhu D's tone was very affirmative.

It is not a simple matter to march into the northeast, it is difficult for a small army to open up the situation, and a large army needs to replenish and repair the area halfway, otherwise the troops may collapse before they reach the northeast.

Yan'an quickly made adjustments, Zhou En came to stop in Jinan, and Chiang Kai-shek ordered Zhuang Jihua to be the main leader, supplemented by He Jinhan, and began negotiations in Jinan.

This order made Zhuang Jihua satisfied and a little cola, he and Zhou EN cooperated, and the two of them acted at the negotiation table to show He Jinhan and Zhang Lan, Huang Yanpei and others.

At the negotiation table, the two were still-for-tat, Zhou EN came to ask for a sky-high price, Zhuang Jihua did not give an inch, the two negotiations lasted for several days, and then Zhou EN began to gradually reduce the price, Zhuang Jihua began to slowly raise the price, and finally the two sides still had differences on the territory and the army, and the negotiations reached a stalemate.
