In the face of Enlai's inquiry, everyone's eyes were all aimed at Ouyang Jian, and then Zhu De glanced at his pocket watch and said wittily: "Everyone, the people take food as the sky, and it's almost noon, let's talk while eating." The group walked into the restaurant next door, and although the restaurant was very basic, it was spotlessly clean. After everyone sat down, the wine and food were quickly served, and after a few glasses of wine, Ouyang Jian said: "Wine strengthens heroes, with all due respect." After the fall of the three eastern provinces after the September 18 Incident, the Japanese army directly faced Soviet Russia, which was under heavy military pressure and war pressure. ”

"The fact that the Comintern must be linked to Soviet Russia, and since the military center of gravity of Soviet Russia is in Europe, Soviet Russia pursues a policy of non-intervention in Japan, which shows that this is the interest of the state. From another point of view, it is understandable to argue that Soviet Russia is doing this. The Comintern, on the other hand, was an international organization, but in fact it had always been under the control of Soviet Russia. Therefore, it is not surprising that Soviet Russia instructed the Comintern to continue to control our party, and to put it bluntly, this is the Comintern's overall strategy in order to cooperate with Soviet Russia. And in the eyes of Soviet Russia, we are insignificant. After the September 18 incident, many comrades in the party naively believed that Soviet Russia would intervene militarily. ”

"I still say that, fate must be in our own hands, if anyone dares to destroy this hard-won good situation and hard-won results, I, Ouyang Jian, will be the first to refuse!" "I will never say yes!" Zhu De was the first to speak. Runzhidao: "Comrade Ouyang Jian, you can't be emotional, after all, we are under the leadership of the Comintern!" "We must make a decision now, I still say the same thing, now is the time to get rid of the leadership of the Communist International, we can no longer be at the mercy of others, and China's affairs must be decided by the Chinese themselves."

"If I am not mistaken, the Comintern must have proposed an attack on the whole country. And some comrades of the Central Committee will even put forward the slogan of eliminating all reactionaries and defending Soviet Russia. If that happens, we will lose the hearts of the people and even become sinners for the ages. Runzhi said solemnly: "Comrade Ouyang Jian, we have also thought of your judgment, but some things cannot be rushed, how to make the majority of comrades reach a consensus, we must pay attention to the strategy of struggle, but our goal of self-reliance cannot be changed." ”

Ouyang Jian said decisively: "Comrades, my personal honor and disgrace do not matter, after a bloody battle, the achievements of our party cannot be abandoned halfway. I will sing the black face, and Comrade Enlai is good at doing ideological work and uniting comrades, so he will sing with a red face. As a secretary, Comrade Bogu is too young to have leadership experience after all, but his personality and moral character are very good, and I think that after he came to the base area, we will see everything that has happened, and we will take into account the overall situation. As for Li De's foreign advisor, I'll deal with him! ”

Ouyang Jian continued: "It will be early August for the Central Committee to reach Ruijin at the earliest, and I think it is imperative to reach a peace agreement with the 19th Route Army and the Fujian government as soon as possible. Enlai said: "Comrade Ouyang Jian is right, the top priority is to quickly reach a peace agreement with the Fujian government, but now a new problem has arisen, Cai Tingkai, Jiang Guangding, Chen Mingshu, Li Jishen and others demand the establishment of the Republic of China and the joint opposition to Chiang. Under the current situation, this move will give the Kuomintang a pretext for splitting and will be very unfavorable to the next step of peace talks. "Runzhidao:" In order to reach peace talks and avoid extraneous complications, we have now changed the name of the Soviet District Government to prevent the Kuomintang from making a fuss about it. However, we are very difficult with the requirements put forward by the Fujian side. “

Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "It is still the same sentence that uses the law of the jungle, which must be considered as a whole, and does not agree with Fujian's unilateral establishment of the Republic of China, but it can retain relative independence." At present, Fujian relies on us in terms of military strength, and this is our sword of Shangfang. In addition, we must have Quanzhou and Xiamen, and we can be tough when necessary. I don't think they have any other way. "Comrade Ouyang Jian, while achieving the goal, try to negotiate as friendly as possible, if we reach an agreement with the Fujian side, we will have the absolute initiative in the next step of negotiations with the Kuomintang." Runzhi reminds.

Enlai said: "Comrade Ouyang Jian, it seems that you are confident in negotiations, and we also think so after research. You and I will play the leading role in this negotiation. I have already informed the political commissar Chen Yi and ordered the special combat team of the 5th Army Corps to come and take up this defense work, and at the same time let the 19th Route Army feel the might of the Red Army special combat team. Ouyang Jian understood what Enlai meant, negotiation requires strength to speak. The meal was eaten until late at night, and for the future changes, the people present once again unified their thoughts and united as one.

A few days later, Mu Shixiong led the expanded special combat team to Ruijin. The special combat team has been expanded to 200 personnel and divided into seven detachments. The 6 detachments still have a capacity of 30 people and belong to the combat detachments. In addition, a technical detachment was also formed, and the technical detachment was mainly focused on reporting, code breaking, and intelligence (including counter-espionage and professionals who understand Japanese, English, and German), which Ouyang Jian specially built, and the technical detachment stayed in Yunshui County and did not come. In the future, the main task of the technical detachment will be to decipher codes, and there is an urgent shortage of personnel in this area.

On this day, the team of negotiators headed by Enlai and Ouyang Jian set off, and the special combat team that served as the escort all rode war horses, special camouflage uniforms, and terrifying sniper rifles, forming a mighty and powerful momentum. The negotiation team arrived in Fuzhou, and the 19th Route Army guard troops, led by Cai Tingkai, Jiang Guangding, Chen Mingshu, Li Jishen and other generals, stood at the gate of the city to welcome Enlai, Ouyang Jian and their entourage. On both sides of the city gate stood the 19th Route Army guard troops, which seemed to be mighty, but they were immediately dwarfed by the Red Army special combat team, and they were judged from a high level. The special combat personnel did not need to put on a score at all, and their shocking momentum was fully revealed. In particular, the word "Special Warfare" on the armbands of each team member is particularly eye-catching, allowing the world-famous Red Army special combat team to show its true colors.

When the generals of the 19th Route Army saw the special combat team, they exchanged their heads one after another, and the commander-in-chief Jiang Guangding stood in front, followed by army commanders Cai Tingkai, Chen Mingshu, Li Jishen, and others. The two sides met and shook hands warmly, Enlai was in front and Ouyang Jian was behind. Ouyang Jian's name was like thunder, and when shaking hands, Jiang, Cai, Chen, and Li carefully looked at Ouyang Jian, trying to understand the extraordinaryness of this Communist Party legend. Ouyang Jian did not have a swagger, but smiled calmly and looked at the person who shook hands with him, and his mind clearly reflected his own situation. Jiang Guangding, a native of Guangdong, was born in 1887 and is 45 years old this year. At that time, he was the commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army and the chairman of the Fujian government.

Cai Tingkai, a native of Guangdong, was born in 1892 and is 40 years old this year, born in the military, graduated from the Army Lecture Hall of the 2nd Army of the Protectorate of the Country, and is now the commander of the 19th Army. Chen Mingshu, a Hakka from Guangxi, was born in 1889 and is 43 years old this year. A famous general of the Northern Expedition, he served as the chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Government, and served as the commander of the Songhu garrison in the 128th Songhu Anti-Japanese War. Li Jishen, a native of Guangxi, was born in 1885, is 47 years old this year, graduated from the Beiping Army University, and is now "the deputy commander-in-chief of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Bandits, but is not in his position", this person is a staunch opponent of the United Communist Party against Chiang.

The host was warm and hospitable, Enlai, Ouyang Jian arrived in Fuzhou to rest for a day, and the next day he started negotiations at the 19th Army Military Department. After the negotiations began, Enlai first said: "The 19th Route 128 Songhu War of Resistance played the bloody and unyielding national spirit of the Chinese nation, and the 19th Route Army bravely resisted the Japanese army, and its tenacious fighting spirit played the national prestige and the military prestige of the 19th Route Army. On behalf of the Soviet District Government, I would like to express my high respect to all the officers and men of the 19th Route Army. "Ouyang Jian stood up and saluted!

Enlai immediately said: "At present, the national crisis is at hand, and it is a top priority to promote the united front of the whole nation as soon as possible, so it is imperative to stop the civil war and unite with the outside world. Now that the situation has undergone major changes, the Nanjing Government has stopped military operations, and domestic peace talks have become the trend of the times, so our party does not approve of continuing to oppose Chiang, and if the establishment of the Republic of China at this time is contrary to the overall situation, our party suggests that it is better for the Fujian government to maintain the status quo and not to give the Kuomintang any excuse and affect the excellent situation of the peace talks. ”

"Mr. Zhou, opposing Chiang is our bottom line, and it is our wish to establish a new Republic of China, obviously your party has no sincerity!" Chen Mingshu expressed dissatisfaction. "General Chen, if there is no sincerity, what are we doing here, just give an order to capture Fujian, it can be said that it is easy for us to take Fujian." Ouyang Jian stood up and said in a tough tone: "Generals, when the nation is in danger at the moment, we must focus on the overall situation, this is a wise move!" ”

"If your Communist Party can establish power, why can't we! Now is the time to oust Chiang Kai-shek from power. "Jiang Guangding counterattacked." General Chiang, I would like to explain that it was the Kuomintang that first raised the butcher's knife, and we fought for survival. If we want to talk about the deep hatred in the sea of blood, we communists are afraid that it will be difficult to write a book. However, for the sake of the country and the interests of the Chinese nation, we must forget our hatred and unite with the outside world. Generals, after the Japanese army occupies the three eastern provinces, it will move its troops south at any time, and the Japanese army's huge fleet will land on the coast at any time. ”

Seeing that a few people looked unhappy, Ouyang Jian continued: "I know that you all sincerely serve the country, but now there is a suspicion of separatism if you continue to oppose Chiang and form the Republic of China. Enlai stood up and said with a pleasant face: "At present, the Kuomintang group headed by Lao Chiang is far stronger than us, and if we continue to oppose Chiang, it will mean that the civil war will continue." I think we can make a compromise, let's call it the new government of Fujian, and we will not interfere with your relative independence ・・・・・・. Enlai's words eased the tension in the venue, and Ouyang Jian judged that the current situation in Fujian needs the support of the Communist Party to gain a firm foothold.

After several rounds of consultations, the two sides reached an agreement: 1. Fujian will keep the status quo unchanged for the time being, 2) stop the civil war in an all-round way, urge the national government to start joint talks as soon as possible, and 3) form a united national front as soon as possible. In view of the fact that the Red Army actually controlled Sanjia and Longyan, the Fujian government had no objection to the Soviet government's proposal to build a sea passage in Quanzhou and Xiamen. The two sides quickly reached an agreement on high-level exchanges, mutual benefit, no barriers to trade, and military alliances.

Regardless of how the domestic situation has changed, the Fujian Incident is like a catalyst for accelerating the cessation of a full-scale civil war and the formation of a national united front pattern. On this day, Jiang Guangding and Cai Tingkai accompanied Ouyang Jian to inspect the training of a certain unit of the 19th Route Army. For the 5th Army Corps of the Red Army built by Ouyang Jian, its strong combat effectiveness Jiang and Cai are familiar to them. Although the subordinate had never fought with Ouyang Jian, his brilliant record was enough to impress the two. Looking at the training of the troops, Jiang Guangding said: "Commander Ouyang, at the beginning of the year, we fought with the Japanese army in Songhu, although we blocked the attack of the Japanese army, but our troops suffered great losses, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was indeed strong. ”

Cai Tingkai said: "General Ouyang, the unhappiness of the past has become history, and now we are allies. General Ouyang has made great achievements in military affairs and has built a strong army, and we need General Ouyang's help. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Two generals, in the future, we will fight side by side against Japan, in other words, comrades in the same trench, how can we divide each other." Since the two generals can trust me Ouyang Jian, then I'm not welcome. Just now I visited the barracks and inspected the weaponry and training. If I'm not mistaken, this unit in front of me is the best unit in your department. ”

Jiang and Cai looked at each other in astonishment and nodded. "Two generals, with all due respect, the level of training, equipment, and quality of soldiers in the troops is very poor, and they must undergo a comprehensive transformation ・・・・・・. The troops must be hunted and equipped with uniform standard weapons, so as to ensure the effective supply of wartime logistics. At present, our arsenal has comprehensively improved its performance on the basis of Hanyang-made, and has been able to mass-produce the upgraded version of Hanyang-made. If the two generals are interested, I can sell them to you at the best price, and the ammunition supply is guaranteed. Jiang and Cai heard that they were overjoyed, and there was no allowable gift. On the same day, Ouyang Jian was in charge and signed a package of "arms purchase" plans with Jiang and Cai.
