Chapter 86 The Anti-Japanese Government of the Northwest is established
Just as the meeting of the Long Wei Army was about to end, the Rehe Longyin Group came to report: Zhang Shaoshuai sent someone to invite Mu Han to go to the Rehe Metropolitan Government to discuss the exchange of materials and equipment. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] Music + Essay + Novel w.xs520.
"Hehe, it seems that Zhang Shaoshuai can't hold his breath! Uncle Chen, let's go and meet him again! Mu Han said with a smile.
In the Rehe Metropolitan Mansion, Zhang Shaoshuai met with Mu Han again. Although Zhang Shaomarshal is still dressed in the dress of a young marshal of the deputy commander-in-chief of the three armies of the National Revolutionary Army, his expression is obviously not as high as when he met for the first time.
"Commander-in-Chief Mu is really a master! Not only can the military command be superb, but it is also an eye-opener for one's self-cultivation! Zhang admires, admires! ”
"Huh! The young marshal is polite! I wonder if the young marshal asked me to come this time, are you ready for the exchange of materials and equipment? ”
"Of course! It's just that the specific conditions are being discussed! Zhang Shaoshuai's face changed slightly.
"Oh! What are the specific conditions for the young marshal? Mu Han glanced at him and said.
"That's it! Commander-in-Chief Mu, didn't you say last time that most of the Erhe region, the eastern, northern, and western parts of Chahar, and the three places in Suiyuan Province exchanged all the guns, ammunition, artillery vehicles, and some of the machinery and equipment, aircraft, and most of the property! Plus a division of Japanese-style weapons! In principle, we agree with all of them, except for Rehe! In addition, I lost the bet last night, and the manly husband can't be untrustworthy, and now I will give you Qinhuangdao too! What do you think? Interesting enough! Commander-in-Chief Mu? Zhang Shaoshuai asked tentatively.
"Huh! Zhang Shaoshuai is really bold! The young marshal doesn't say secret words! My home is in Rehe Wolong Mountain! So I am bound to win Rehe! Mu Han said with a smile.
"Commander-in-Chief Mu! Please understand my difficulties, I have just lost the three eastern provinces, and the brothers under my command have great opinions! Zhang Shaoshuai said with an embarrassed face.
"This?" Mu Han pretended to hesitate and paused for a moment. "Alright! Brother give way, Rehe I only need the area around Wolong Mountain, the area on the dam, and the area bordering Qinhuangdao, but in order to facilitate the management and implementation of defense, I will connect these areas together. I'm not asking too much! ”
"Ahh Zhang Shaoshuai looked at the range drawn by Mu Han on the map of Rehe, and was a little surprised, these areas are all mountainous areas, and they are far from exceeding his bottom line. Not only has the provincial capital of Rehe been preserved, but there is also no shortage of key towns in the province.
"Good! Commander-in-Chief Mu is happy! Then we'll make up our minds! I don't know if the artillery division promised by Commander-in-Chief Mu last night still counts! Zhang has no arsenal now, and his firepower is seriously insufficient! Zhang Shaoshuai said with some embarrassment.
"Of course! Although it was just a joke last night, the young marshal really gave me Qinhuangdao! How could Mu Han be untrustworthy? In this way, for better cooperation in the future, I will give a brigade of Japanese equipment captured on the battlefield of Mukden to the young marshal! To show sincerity! Mu Han said generously.
"Good! Banquet! I'm going to have a good drink with Commander-in-Chief Mu! "Unexpectedly got another brigade's Japanese-style equipment, and Zhang Shaoshuai was in a good mood.
The dinner of the day was held at the largest hotel in Rehe, Qing Yuanheng!
Zhang Shaoshuai and Mu Han led their respective subordinates to sit down at separate tables.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food. After everyone got acquainted with each other, they opened the conversation.
"Commander-in-Chief Mu, Zhang is a few years older, it's not an exaggeration to call you an old brother!" Zhang Shaoshuai got back most of his family property and the family of the Northeast Army, and in a good mood, he drank a few more glasses, and his face was a little red.
Mu Han actually knew that Zhang Shaoshuai was a man of temperament and was extremely righteous, so he was not disgusted by his calling him a brother. However, after these two encounters, Mu Han's heart was frozen in the image of this famous escaped general in later history. He is just that kind of gentleman, relying on his father's shadow, he has the opportunity to take charge of an army alone, and he is difficult to be elegant in terms of military talent or political skills.
However, the face that should be given is still indispensable, "The young marshal has been promoted, Mu Hancheng is terrified!" Mu Han pretended to be moved and said.
"Hahaha! Brother Mu Han is young and promising, and his subordinates are even stronger, and even the Japanese have planted a big heel in your hands! Now it occupies almost five provinces, and with the combat power of the Dragon Guard, it shouldn't be a problem to win the world in the future! Zhang Shaoshuai said with some drunken eyes.
"Huh! The young marshal is serious! It's not that Mu Han is arrogant, just the three melons and two dates in China, Mu Han really didn't pay attention to it. It's not interesting to play with Lao Jiang in China! I have been born in troubled times, and I should be determined to expand my territory and recover the lost territory. In the past hundred years, I have lost so much land in the great power of the Celestial Empire! Let's take our north as an example, the land of Outer Mongolia, Trans-Khingan, Erguna River, South of Lake Baikal, Kuye Island, Ussuri River, Green Ridge, Karda, Irtysh River, Pamir, Tangnu Ulianghai, Kazakh, Burut, Bukhar Khanate, and Kokand is all occupied by barbarians, is really sad! Mu Han said with a deep gaze.
"What? Those places are all occupied by Lao Maozi! Are you going to take it back? Zhang Shaoshuai showed an expression of disbelief, and said secretly in his heart: "If Japan is a hungry wolf, then Soviet Russia is an even more ferocious tiger!" Now the country Z that is crushed by Japan alone is out of breath! Now that the Northeast has just been lost, and I haven't seen you Mu Hanfa fighting a bloody battle with the Japanese army, you still want to snatch food from Soviet Russia? What a stunned young man who doesn't know the sky! ”
Looking at Zhang Shaoshuai's expression, "You are playing with fire and looking for death", Mu Han smiled and shook his head, "Young Marshal, of course I didn't send troops now, I was waiting for an opportunity!" When the time is ripe, country Z may not have a chance to recover the lost territory! ”
Of course, Mu Han couldn't explain everything to Zhang Shaoshuai. The reason why Mu Han dared to fight the Japanese to the death was because he was too familiar with the Japanese, and he was quite sure that he would be invincible in the battle against the Japanese.
As long as it develops steadily for two or three years, while Japan is busy digesting the results of the Northeast War and coping with the world economic crisis, and after the strategic formulation of the Dragon Guard Army is fully realized, even if Japan mobilizes the strength of the whole country to attack, even if it does not get the support of other domestic forces, Mu Han is still sure that Japan will be dragged to death, and at the very least, it will be a draw, and it is a dream for Japan to completely occupy country Z!
Although Japan's scientific and technological military industrial system is stronger than that of country Z at this time, it is not much stronger in this era of scientific and technological explosion! Even now, the advanced level of weapons and equipment of the Dragon Guard Army is also a cut above that of the Japanese army.
Although Japan now has more than 500,000 troops in country Z, and the Dragon Guard is now only more than 200,000, it is far worse than Japan. After the Great War in the Central Plains, hundreds of thousands of Northwest Army troops were disarmed and returned to the fields, and many people fell into the grass because they could not find a way out to support their families. At the same time, the Central Plains and the Northwest are now full of natural disasters*, a large number of peasants have been displaced, and the only way out for the peasants who have strong families is to become soldiers and get paid. These are the most ideal sources of soldiers in Mu Han's mind. Mu Han can recruit at least 200,000 veterans of the former Northwest Army to join the army at any time in the name of the Anti-Japanese War. With the conscription concept of the Dragon Guard Army and the welfare of soldiers, there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people who want to join the Dragon Guard Army in China.
As long as the Japanese continue to wage war, the nationwide anti-Japanese cries will inevitably rise higher and higher. When the time comes, let the Dragon Shadow Group raise its arms among the overseas Chinese groups, and the assistance from overseas, whether it is manpower, material resources, or financial resources, can greatly alleviate the pressure of the war that the Dragon Guards face alone. The time, the place, the people, he can say that they all occupy it.
As long as the domestic situation is stabilized, when Germany begins to attack Soviet Russia, Mu Han will lead the Dragon Guard Army to stab again from the east, and the polar bear of Soviet Russia will not have a few breaths left if he does not die.
Zhang Shaoshuai in front of him, he ordered him twice, but he still insisted on his own ideas, without the slightest change, wanting to continue to enjoy the prestige and happiness, without a little blood! In the future, Mu Han really didn't mind continuing to dig into his corners. The grassroots officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army are second to none in China!
So the two sides with their own hearts dealt with this feast with haha. Although the atmosphere at the table was staggered, and the atmosphere of the elder brother and brother was harmonious, the abacus in each person's heart was cautious and never let go.
It didn't take long, and the feast ended. After that, the two parties carried out a smooth handover as agreed. Both parties were happy.
After returning to the headquarters of Wolongshan, Mu Han immediately convened an enlarged meeting of the entire Longwei Army to study and deploy again and clarify the key tasks for the next step. In order to facilitate dispatch and unified management, Mu Han and the top level of the Longwei Army made a resolution: the Longwei Army made a public appearance in the five places of Re, Chacha, Sui, Gansu, and Ning, and at the same time formally established the Northwest Anti-Japanese Government.
After the news of the appearance of the Long Weijun and the establishment of the anti-Japanese government in the northwest came out, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the domestic political arena and the international community set off an uproar. No one would have imagined that Mu Han and his Dragon Guards fought a battle with the Japanese army last year, and now the Japanese army has stopped large-scale military operations, and now they will make such a high-profile appearance. Moreover, the large sphere of influence controlled by the Dragon Guard Army also shocked everyone.
Does the establishment of the anti-Japanese government in the northwest mean that the ostensibly unified country is divided again? Will there be a civil war similar to the Great War in the Central Plains? This is a matter of great concern to all politicians and military strategists.
Because, although Long Weijun and the anti-Japanese government of the northwest did not publicly declare their separation from the rule of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, and were still subordinate to the Nanjing Central Committee in name, their anti-Japanese ideas were obviously contrary to the Nanjing government, which made Jiang Guangtou, the nominal president of country Z, extremely faceless.
Angry, Lao Jiang immediately ordered the dismissal of Mu Han from his post as commander-in-chief of the Northwest Security Guard, and revoked the number given to the 88th, 89th, and 90th divisions of the Longwei National Revolutionary Army. However, under the consideration of many parties, Lao Chiang did not declare that the anti-Japanese democratic government in the northwest was illegal, after all, the public opinion advocating anti-Japanese resistance in China was higher and higher.
Although Lao Jiang now hates this Mu Han who was born out of nowhere, he keeps scolding "mother's skin" all day long. But he found that the territory of the Long Wei Army turned out to be Zhang Shaoshuai's, and Zhang Shaoshuai did not say anything about the Northwest Anti-Japanese Government and the Long Wei Army. On the contrary, his army completely withdrew from the sphere of influence declared by the anti-Japanese government in the northwest, and took the initiative to retreat the defensive line, which is definitely a problem here. So Lao Jiang didn't have a hot head, so he sent troops to encircle and suppress it. But in private, he still sacrificed his magic weapon, divided and disintegrated, and used various means to dig into the corners of the Dragon Guard and the anti-Japanese government in the northwest.
In fact, Mu Han's decision to start an incident at this time was also to start a civil war at a time when the national anti-Japanese war was shouting. Mu Han's analysis of Lao Jiang is based on all the historical experiences of later generations. He thinks that Lao Jiang wishes in his heart that they would fight with the Japanese and lose both, and you will live or die. In the end, in the name of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, he came out to clean up the mess and become the biggest winner in this tripartite political and military battle.
The Japanese were also blindsided, but in order to digest the results of the war and expand the influence of Manchukuo, the Japanese army issued a statement that "any force that dares to provoke the Japanese Empire and the army will be severely attacked", and there is no follow-up and no indication.
However, everyone in country Z was greatly surprised, because after the establishment of the Northwest Anti-Japanese Government, the international community was the first to respond to and recognize the Northwest Anti-Japanese Government. This was not only expected by Mu Han, but also a bit beyond his expectations. Mu Han didn't expect the Russians to react so quickly! After receiving the news, the bearded man immediately sent representatives to consult on the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides and the exchange of ambassadors and consuls.
Of course, Mu Han knew well about Stamu's bearded calculations, and the Soviet Russian government was nothing more than trying to increase its infiltration of country Z under the guise of improving external relations. If the anti-Japanese government in the northwest establishes diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia, it will inevitably split the nominally unified country Z into two governments, and the people will be left to speak. So Mu Han instructed the relevant personnel to deal with the representatives of Soviet Russia without being salty and indifferent, and sent them away on the grounds that the anti-Japanese government in the northwest was still under the leadership of the Nanjing government! ,
As for Germany, the second in the international community to recognize the anti-Japanese government in the northwest, Mu Han personally attended the talks. Immediately, it was stated that the anti-Japanese government in the northwest would carry out in-depth military and economic cooperation with Germany in an all-round way.
At this time, Mu Han completely let go of his hands and feet, and the previously secretive planning, deployment and actions can now be brought to the table without any scruples. It also greatly improved the combat readiness efficiency of the Dragon Guard.
Under the unified control of Mu Han, all the territories under the anti-Japanese government in the northwest were converted into wartime economies, and all government departments were under military control. All business dealings are under the protection and investigation of the Dragon Guard.
In this way, all the legitimate businesses at home and abroad are happy. Now in country Z, no force dares to offend this Dragon Guard, who fought a fierce battle with the Japanese and caused heavy losses to the Japanese army. Where are the people's combat power and achievements! There is also the extremely low tax payable by the anti-Japanese government in the northwest. Under the premise that the safety of personal and property is effectively protected, profits are greatly improved. For a time, the northwest became the first choice for many merchants and capitalists to trade. A large number of material resources have been continuously injected, which has also greatly solved the contradiction of the material needs of the Dragon Guard.
What is even more exciting for the unemployed people in the country and even the world is that the Long Weijun of the Daxing Project has provided absolutely high wages and benefits. As long as you have the technology, as long as you have the ability, as long as you are willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, you will definitely be able to eat in the northwest and even live a well-off life.
An even larger number of refugees and landless peasants flocked to the anti-Japanese government in the northwest. Because the anti-Japanese government in the northwest issued a proclamation saying: As long as you come to settle here, the government will give you 10 acres of land per person. The rent is even more frightening, only 30% for the first three years, and after three years, only 1/20% of the actual output of the year is paid as public grain, and the land belongs to you forever. If there is a famine, you can still reduce it, and even the government will give you food relief, and there will be no other taxes. It is during the slack time of farming, as long as the family works for 20 days to help the government build all kinds of building facilities. If you have a large family and want to work more, you can pay you. There are also schools here, all of which are free except for universities! What books and tuition, all for free! As soon as the announcement came out, the population under the jurisdiction of the anti-Japanese government in the northwest immediately exploded. This move also completely solved the shortcomings of the labor shortage of the Long Wei Army and the anti-Japanese government in the northwest.
Of course, during this period of time, there were countless forces from all sides who wanted to mix sand and send spy agents to the anti-Japanese government in the northwest. This is especially true for Japanese people. But somehow, these spies are almost caught one by one, and few of them can escape! The angry Japanese special high-tech launched several assassinations against the top of the Dragon Guard, but there was no return.
Seeing that all kinds of tricks have failed, all parties have no choice but to vigorously restrain the common people under their rule to prohibit immigration to the northwest. Because if it goes on like this, it will be a problem for them to catch strong men! But there are still ordinary people who can't get by, secretly running to the northwest.
