[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 1183: The United States and the Soviet Union Intervene (Ask for Subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

On August 8, Chongqing, the capital of the Nationalist Government for more than five years, was occupied by the Japanese army, and He Yingqin and others moved the capital to Chengdu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut the Chengdu area was flat, and the mechanized troops of the Japanese army marched extremely fast, almost catching up with the Kuomintang troops.

Just a week later, Chengdu was also occupied by the Japanese army, and the whole of Sichuan Province was in an emergency.

The great rout triggered by the Nationalist Government swept through the entire South China region like a plague, and suddenly South China had a situation of rain of troops and officials as it had been a few years ago.

More importantly, this unfavorable situation caused many troops to lose confidence in the war of resistance at once, and they had no intention of resisting in the face of the Japanese attack, and the entire Chinese nation had reached the most dangerous juncture. If this matter is not handled well, it is very likely that China will die because of it.

No one would have thought that the little devil would give the Chinese such a trick to draw salaries, and no one would have thought that such a rising anti-Japanese wave would suffer such a setback.

Lao Chiang's sudden death made the whole of China fall into panic and uneasiness, Lao Chiang was alive when he was angry, and there were many people who scolded and scolded him, but only now people understand that Lao Chiang is so important to China, whether it is Yan Xishan in Shanxi or He Jian in Hunan, or the warlords in Sichuan, large and small, do not have the strength to replace Lao Chiang, where will China's fate go?

In the aggressive attack of the Japanese army, although the Nationalist Government also fought back heroically, due to poor organization and low morale, the Nationalist Government was defeated one after another, which worried Stalin in the north and Roosevelt on the other side of the ocean.

If it weren't for the fact that the 15th Army stationed in Burma had just suffered heavy losses, I am afraid that Yunnan in China's rear would have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and at that time not only would hundreds of thousands of Chinese expeditionary forces be attacked by the Japanese army from the north to the south, but even the troops of Britain and the United States would not have good fruit to eat, so how to solve China's political problems was imminent.

In addition, He Yingqin, who now holds the actual control of the Nationalist Government, has also made the United States and the Soviet Union very uneasy, and the United States and the Soviet Union have long heard about some things about this He, and it is a complete pro-Japanese faction, which makes a pro-Japanese faction to control the political situation in China, Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union and other countries extremely worried.

All the countries participating in the Cairo Declaration have made a solemn commitment not to compromise with fascist countries such as Germany and Japan alone. But now that the Chinese battlefield has suddenly undergone earth-shattering changes, there is no guarantee that those Kuomintang politicians will throw themselves into the arms of the Japanese in an instant.

The United States and the Soviet Union and other countries were worried about the situation on the battlefield in China, and the bigwigs in Yan'an and Ma Zheng, who was far away on the front line in Shandong, were also worried. At Ma Zheng's suggestion, the Yan'an side took the initiative to contact He Yingqin and others who had withdrawn to Xikang, hoping that they would put the future of the country and the nation first and immediately discuss the next battle situation with the Yan'an side, so as to reverse the unfavorable situation at this time.

However, the voice of Yan'an was ignored by the national government, which made Ma Zheng and others very anxious. But at this time, things took a turn for the worse, and Roosevelt, who was worried about the situation in China, after consulting with Stalin, Churchill and others, decided to unanimously support Yan'an to take the lead, and asked the Nationalist government led by He Yingqin to immediately negotiate with Yan'an.

It was indeed a helpless move by the United States and the Soviet Union to do so, and the Kuomintang was now useless, and everyone could see this.

Although He Yingqin and others had also sent Xue Yue and others to clean up the mess, the army general was also powerless against the current predicament of the Nationalist Government, and commanded 250,000 troops to fight the Japanese army in the Chengdu area for one month and still did not defeat the Japanese army. ，

In fact, everyone has now seen that although the Kuomintang is still strong in all aspects, there is only one fatal weakness, that is, without Lao Chiang, a political strongman, the Kuomintang has lost its most basic cohesion.

At this time, there were millions of Kuomintang troops scattered in the Jiangnan area, but no one could organize these more than a million stragglers, let alone pull them back to the battlefield.

But the CCP in Yan'an is different, this political group not only has a strong army directly under it, but also has a unified and cohesive political core leadership, and the CCP now has a high prestige in the country, so many people have some other ideas.

Therefore, in view of the inadequacy of the Nationalist Government, the United States and Britain and other countries had to let the CCP take the lead. However, in order to prevent those high-ranking officials of the Nationalist Government from turning to the Japanese army, the United States and the Soviet Union and other countries asked the Chinese Communists to guarantee that they would not annex the remnants of the Nationalist Government, and the two sides had to hold peace talks to reach an agreement.

Going back to the Kuomintang, after Lao Chiang was bombed and killed, the entire Kuomintang politically lost its unified leadership and absolute control over the whole country.

Of course, this absolute control is relatively speaking, even when the Nationalist Government was at its strongest, it did not have absolute leadership over all the armed forces in the country, and none of those warlords, large and small, did not obey the orders of the central government, but because Lao Chiang's own political skills were indeed superior, many people did not dare to wrestle with him.

Now that He Yingqin has been replaced, it will be different, He Yingqin is completely pro-Japanese, even if He Yingqin doesn't want to admit it.

Although pro-Japanese and traitor are two different concepts, many people have already labeled him a traitor in their hearts, so He Yingqin's decree cannot be implemented at all, even with the support of the first lady.

With the erosion of the war situation, the entire Kuomintang is about to fall apart, and even if He Yingqin wants to give up his position now, no one dares to take it. Li Zongren had this idea before, but now he didn't dare to touch this hot potato, and in the end it was supported by He Yingqin.

To be honest, although He Yingqin was a complete pro-Japanese faction, he was not a capitulation faction, and he hated everything the Japanese had done in China.

Moreover, the all-people war of resistance has become a trend, this is the trend of history, no one can go against it, once it is violated, it will be abandoned by the people of the whole country, so He Yingqin is still very determined in resisting Japan.

With the fall of Chongqing and Chengdu, the Yunnan-Guizhou region was also strategically surrounded by the Japanese army, and the prestige of the Kuomintang among the people fell to the extreme, so He Yingqin agreed to negotiate with Yan'an to jointly solve the current crisis.

He Yingqin's relief made many people breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the KMT and the CCP reach an agreement, China's future is still very promising.

Later, the Party Central Committee called Ma Zheng on the front line in Shandong, hoping that they could come back from the front line to participate in the negotiations, after all, Ma Zheng's prestige among the whole people is still very recognized, and his strategic vision is also very much needed by the chairman and others.

However, he was politely rejected by Ma Zheng, who knew that he was not good at this kind of political bargaining, and at the same time Ma Zheng knew that what China needs most now is a hearty victory to save the hearts of the army and the people, and looking at the entire Chinese battlefield at this time, the only one who could create this miracle was his Saibei Corps.

Therefore, Ma Zheng decided to stay on the front line in Shandong and fight a good battle to create a good atmosphere for the next KMT-CCP negotiations, so Ma Zheng deliberately moved his headquarters to Zaozhuang.

On the Xuzhou front, the Chinese and Japanese armies have been fighting here for more than a month, and both sides have fought with fire, and at the same time, they have also fought hard.

At this time, the Japanese army had gathered about 300,000 elites in the Xuzhou area, in addition to more than 100,000 puppet troops to cooperate with the operation, trying to conduct a strategic decisive battle with Ma Zheng's troops near Xuzhou.

The North China Front Command believed that at this time the political situation in China had eroded to a certain extent, and that the will to fight, whether it was the Nationalist Government or other local troops, would inevitably be attacked, and this had already been verified in the fighting in the south, so the North China Front Command believed that the time had come to counterattack.

What's more, now that the Imperial Japanese Army has no opponents in southern China, the next counterattack on North China and Northeast China has become the only thing to do, and as the largest strategic group in North China, the North China Front must seize the opportunity.
