Lao Jiang was most concerned about the feasibility of economic invasion, and immediately said: "Yunong, you are the old man of the party-state. The contribution of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info to the party-state is obvious to all, and it is necessary to deal with the Communist Party, and you are all aware of this. ”

"Fighting the Japanese is necessary and the trend of the times, and with the support of the Americans, it is only a matter of time before the Japanese fail. However, the current speed of development of the Communist Party has exceeded any of our expectations, and even the Japanese are afraid of Ma Zheng, and in this situation the country is about to face the danger of splitting, so we must spare no effort to deal with the Communist Party. ”

"Now that we have lost the opportunity militarily, let's make a big difference on the economic front. Yunong, there is an essential difference between economic war and military war, are you sure? ”

Dai Li is the largest intelligence chief and spy chief of the Nationalist Government, and he controls almost all of the intelligence resources of the Nationalist Government. Almost all of Lao Jiang's shady things were done by Dai Li, a loyal lackey, so the cooperation between the two people was a rare tacit understanding.

Dai Li thought for a while and said: "Principal, dealing with the Communist Party is my lifelong wish Dai Yunong, using economic means to fight the Communist Party Our Military Command Bureau has been preparing for a long time, and has also collected a considerable amount of counterfeit money, as long as the principal orders, we can collect as many counterfeit coins as possible in a very short period of time, and then concentrate on the big cities controlled by the Communist Party to use them intensively, so as to destroy the credit value of counterfeit money to the greatest extent." ”

Then Dai Li continued: "Principal, there is an essential difference between the Communist Party and the previous Communist Party, the previous Communist Party only controlled dozens of counties, the largest number of troops was only tens of thousands, and the area where counterfeit money circulated was only a dozen counties and cities. However, now the Communist Party directly controls Suiyuan, Chahar, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Rehe, and has a territory of more than 100 counties and cities, and even controls Baoding, Chengde, Datong, Baotou, and Guisui, and other big cities, and has organized millions of armed forces. ”

"More importantly, the current Communist Party has entered the eyes of foreign political forces, and we still have to think so much about cleaning up the Communist Party before, and we haven't seen the Americans say anything in the five encirclement and suppression. But now, as soon as we have made a move, the opposition is attacking us in droves, and how dangerous it is to go on like this. Now, as long as the counterfeit currency is devalued, we can cooperate with the national public opinion to hype up the evil intention of the Communist Party to squeeze the hard-earned money of the toiling masses, and then the Communist Party will inevitably lose its reputation and lose the support of the people. ”

"Then we have a follow-up plan, and then use all the patriotic enterprises in the area controlled by the Communist Party to buy the counterfeit currency devalued by the Communist Party, and force them to recycle these counterfeit coins at a high price, which will directly lead to the bankruptcy of the Communist Party's economy. In the middle, you can also use means such as making counterfeit money and hoarding counterfeit money, and there is only one purpose anyway, that is, to destroy the credit of counterfeit money and the finance of the Communist Party as much as possible. ”

"Okay, since Yunong is so confident, then I will ask you on behalf of the party-state, as long as you can complete this task, all departments will fully cooperate throughout the process, and you will have money and people." Lao Jiang said excitedly.

"Commission, what about the New Fourth Army?" He Yingqin asked.

Lao Jiang thought for a while and said: "Order Gu Zhutong to cancel the original plan, let the New Fourth Army cross the river, and at the same time issue an anti-Japanese telegram to the whole country, just say that our government is wholeheartedly fighting devils, and all frictions are in vain, this incident is just a little misunderstanding between our Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the middle is just being used by little devils, and now the government is willing to obey the wishes of the people, get out of the way and let the New Fourth Army cross the river and go north, and hope that all units of the New Fourth Army and all kinds of armed forces controlled by the Communist Party will cooperate, At the same time, it is also hoped that the Ma Zheng Division of the Suicha Military Region will immediately withdraw its troops from Henan......"

......

As soon as this general order of the Nationalist Government came out, most of China was shocked, and neither the Japanese nor the Chinese expected that the Nationalist Government would back down.

The Yan'an side replied to the Nationalist Government in a high-profile manner for the first time, announcing that the Eighth Route Army is still a combat sequence subordinate to the National Revolutionary Army and subordinate to the Military and Political Department of the Nationalist Government, so both the Eighth Route Army and the troops of the Suicha Military Region will fully cooperate with the Nationalist Government.

Ma Zheng's reply was even more straightforward: as long as the New Fourth Army successfully crosses the river and goes north, then all the troops of the Suicha Military Region will immediately return to the defense area, and will definitely not make any stops in the Henan region, and the territory previously occupied will also be immediately returned to the Nationalist Government.

On March 4, 1941, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army received a strict order from the central authorities that the top leaders of the New Fourth Army must cross the river to the north by March 7, and the follow-up troops must cross the river to the north before March 10, and the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army must not delay for any reason.

After consultation between Ye Ting and Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater, it was decided that the route of the New Fourth Army's northward movement would start from Yunling, cross Piling, pass through Jingde and Ningguo and enter southern Jiangsu through Tianmu Mountain, and then cross the river to northern Jiangsu.

Although this road is still the bloody road in history, Ma Zheng knows that the Nationalist Government will not attack the New Fourth Army this time no matter what, and as for the famous traitors around the high-ranking members of the New Fourth Army Military Department, they have already been secretly controlled by the special combat personnel sent by Ma Zheng, and they will only be handed over to the New Fourth Army Military Department after they go north.

At 8 o'clock in the evening of the 7th, more than 9,000 troops from the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army and the southern Anhui army set out from the Yunling area of Jing County, preparing to divide into left, center, and right columns and move to the north of the Yangtze River through southern Jiangsu.

On 9 March, Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, Xiang Ying, deputy commander of the New Fourth Army, and Yuan Guoping, director of the Political Department, successfully arrived in the Jiangbei area, and the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, known as the Southern Anhui Incident, was successfully resolved.

After receiving the latest battle report from the central government, Ma Zheng ordered Xu Hu's troops to immediately withdraw to southern Hebei and strictly defend against the sneak attack of the Nationalist Government and the Japanese puppet army, while he himself returned to Shandong with a special combat team.

After returning to Shandong, Ma Zheng quickly threw himself into work. After several months of rest and recuperation, the temperament of all units of the entire Shandong Military Region has been greatly improved. In particular, the subordinate units of the divisions have made great progress, and not only have the number of troops increased considerably, but the quality of the troops has also been satisfactory.

Ma Zheng knew that the training of the troops was one thing, and the most important thing was to let the troops of each military subdivision go to the battlefield to see blood, so that the combat capability of the troops could be improved as a whole.

Since his return to Shandong, Ma Zheng has carefully planned a large-scale military operation, mainly for the purpose of training his troops, but also for many strategic and tactical considerations.

But just when the people were ready to make a big move, urgent news came from the European side that the Soviet-German war had begun.

After more than a year of bombing, Germany finally failed to force Britain to submit, and when the Soviet Union and other countries thought that Germany would continue to attack Britain, and even did not rule out that it would put ground troops into a beach-grabbing landing operation, Germany unexpectedly stopped its air raids on Britain, and the air war in Great Britain came to an end.

During the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe flew more than 46,000 sorties, dropped more than 70,000 tons of bombs on Britain, and lost more than 1,500 aircraft. The British Air Force lost 915 planes and killed and injured more than 86,000 residents. More than 1 million buildings were damaged and many cities were destroyed.

Although the British paid a huge price, they eventually kept their homeland and did not let a single German soldier land on British soil.

At the end of January 41, the last large-scale air raid on London by the main forces of the Luftwaffe. That night, the Germans flew more than 500 sorties to bomb London indiscriminately, and all the pilots who participated in the battle were instructed to keep the bombs anywhere, and 700 tons of explosive bombs and incendiary bombs fell on the city of London, and the fire lit up most of the night sky. 1,436 civilians in London were killed and more than 1,800 seriously injured.

However, in the eyes of many people, this air raid was nothing more than a vent of Germany's resentment of defeat before giving up the attack on Britain, and nothing more. After that, the Luftwaffe never launched another air attack on Britain, and the two sides were locked in a long standoff.
