It was only after Ma Zheng said that everyone understood the key to this: Now those large and small factories in Qingdao are either directly or indirectly under the control of the Japanese, and if these coal and iron ore are sold to those factories, they will eventually fall into the hands of the Japanese.

"Commander, what now? You must know that after the end of the Pingjin Campaign, the next step for the Japanese army will definitely be to use troops in Qingdao and southern Hebei, and there is not much time left for us! Yun Jian asked in a deep voice.

Ma Zheng thought for a while and said, "Since you can't transport it away and can't sell it, then give it away!" ”

"Give it away? To whom? Yun Jian asked in surprise.

"Of course, it is given to the citizens of Qingdao, coal is the raw material for cooking fire, and it is the necessities of the people's production and life, why don't we give those coals to the people of Qingdao for free? Nuo is a big Qingdao, not to mention more than 100,000 tons of coal, even if there are hundreds of thousands of tons, it can be consumed! Ma Zheng said.

"This is a good way, which not only solves the problem but also closes the relationship with the citizens of Qingdao, killing two birds with one stone!" Yun Jian said with a smile.

"Commander, it's nothing to give away coal, after all, it is the necessities of the people's production and life, but what about iron ore, those things are not available to the people!" Xie Wensheng asked.

"Iron ore is better handled, and the common people can't use it, and we can't use it, and only the Japanese can really use it. In that case, why should we keep them and just pour them into the sea? Ma Zheng said.

"Pour... Poured into the sea? ”

"Well, just pour it into the sea, and it must not be left to the Japanese. In addition, he sent another telegram to Liang Shangren and others, ordering them to start the retreat and leave Qingdao before the main force of the Japanese army returned to Qingdao. Don't forget to blow up all the military facilities in Qingdao when you leave, just like the city of Tianjin! Ma Zheng said.

"Yes!"

......

Ma Zheng's department made a big fuss in Qingdao and Shandong this time, and even entered Beiping City for a time, although the Eighth Route Army benefited a lot, but there was an outsider who also accounted for a lot of light, and this person was Wang Jingwei, the former vice president.

About Wang Jingwei, the people of the country must know very well, this person was also a devout revolutionary party before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, but his revolutionary nature is not very strong and firm. Especially after the September 18 Incident between China and Japan in 31, Wang Jingwei was afraid of Japan from the bottom of his heart, and was besieged by Japan-phobia from the beginning. Therefore, in the face of the invasion of the Japanese again and again, he only saw the strength of Japan, but could not see the advantages of China's Tao and help, and was overwhelmed by the obscenity of the Japanese emperor.

Wang Jingwei was afraid of war, and went all out to negotiate peace. In May 1932, with the consent of Chiang and Wang, the Nationalist Government signed the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" with Japan. Subsequently, under his leadership, he ratified the "Hemei Agreement" and the "Qin-Tu Agreement", ceding sovereignty over North China to the Japanese invaders, and public opinion was in an uproar.

It was precisely because of this series of traitorous acts that he was seriously injured by Sun Fengming, a righteous soldier sent by Wang Yaqiao, at the party headquarters of the Central Committee in Nanjing, and the bullet that entered his spine could never be removed, and Wang Jingwei's later violent illness and death were also very closely related to this incident.

After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, China entered the era of the All-People's War of Resistance, and Wang Jingwei, who was supposed to be the leader of the National War of Resistance like Lao Chiang, was shaken at this time. In August and September 1938, Mei Siping, a representative of Zhou Fohai, and Shigeharu Matsumoto, a representative of the Japanese Prime Minister Konoe, negotiated in Hong Kong.

During the same period, at the Hankow Supreme National Defense Conference, Wang Ching-wei presided over the 54 th meeting of the Standing Committee to pass a resolution accepting the conditions proposed by the Japanese side, inciting Kong Xiangxi to sign the armistice conditions proposed by Japan. Ignoring the vigorous war of resistance, he was obsessed with peace.

The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a test of the resilience of the entire country and nation, but Wang Jingwei was pessimistic and desperate in the dark night before the victory, lost his due judgment and conscience, and went to the road of treason from which there was no turning back.

As a matter of fact, the Japanese side did not attach importance to Wang Jingwei at first. Because from the beginning of the war, the Japanese side wanted to completely destroy China and turn Chinese mainland into a Japanese colony. Therefore, the peace talks were just to divide and disintegrate the Nationalist Government, and no one treated Wang Jingwei sincerely, and the conditions promised by the Japanese representatives when they lured Wang Jingwei to defect were all flowers in the moon mirror in the water, which could be seen but not touched, and in desperation, Wang Jingwei could only die overseas.

However, with the deepening of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese army's plan to annihilate China in three months and the undefeated golden body of the Imperial Japanese Army were broken one by one, and China and Japan fell into a stage of strategic stalemate that the Japanese army was most unwilling to enter.

More importantly, the long-term war has brought Japan's domestic economy to the brink of collapse, and the protracted war has dragged down the Japanese economy, and before the 77 Incident, Japan's total economic output reached 28.3 billion US dollars, making it the sixth largest economic power in the world. Before the 77 Incident, Japan had only four fully equipped divisions and regiments, less than 200,000 people, and even with the navy, it was less than 250,000, and the annual military expenditure was not large.

However, with the continuous escalation of the war, the Japanese army has continued to expand, and so far there are more than 70 integrated divisions and dozens of mixed brigades and regiments in the country, and the total strength has expanded to 1.3 million. The cost of the war soared to an astronomical figure of 500 billion yen, the balance of the national debt increased from 6.2 billion yen in 1930 to 66 billion yen now, and the entire economy was on the verge of collapse.

According to the statistics made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if the war situation in China cannot be resolved within two years, then without anyone else attacking, Japan will collapse without a war because of economic problems, and then domestic prices will soar and the currency will depreciate, and the army will lack supplies and ammunition for war. Therefore, Japan must find a way to solve the problem of China as soon as possible, or open up another channel to obtain war resources.

The report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs surprised the Japanese high-level officials, who originally thought that the powerful Japanese Empire was so vulnerable, and they thought that they would be able to completely occupy China if they continued to fight like this, but they did not expect that this would be the case. That is to say, as long as the Chinese hold out for another two or three years, the mighty Japanese Empire must take the initiative to withdraw its troops, otherwise the whole country will face a greater crisis.

In addition to being surprised, Japan's top brass also realized the seriousness of the matter, and Japan's current Prime Minister Kiichiro Hiranuma suddenly thought of former Prime Minister Fumima Konoe's strategy toward China, and felt that it was necessary to learn from it, so he personally visited Fumima Konoe.

After several talks, Kiichiro Hiranuma came up with an outline for resolving the China issue, put forward the strategy of using China to contain China, divide and conquer, and demanded the formation of a new pro-Japanese government in the occupied areas with the support of the Japanese Empire, so as to achieve the goal of dividing the Chinese resistance and reducing the military pressure on Japan.

Originally, this plan ran into trouble during the discussion at the Imperial Council, and some Japanese high-level officials did not support this plan, let alone Wang Jingwei, including Seisaro Gaki, who was quite famous in the army, and Takeo Imai, a Japanese spy under him.

Itagaki Seishiro was a war maniac, especially when he was the commander of the Fifth Division in the North China Front, and he achieved very good results, especially the miracle of defeating more than 30 Chinese infantry divisions with the strength of one division, so Itagaki Seishiro looked down on the Chinese, including pro-Japanese factions like Wang Jingwei.

Moreover, they did not want to surrender the hard-won results to Wang Jingwei under such circumstances, what he wanted was to let the Japanese army digest the occupied areas by themselves, and then completely turn the places that were now occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army into Japanese territory, just like the Kwantung Prefecture, instead of entrusting the establishment of a Chinese regime.

But at this moment, a shocking news came from the Chinese battlefield that the Eighth Route Army had captured Qingdao and Tianjin, and at the same time surrounded Beiping, where the headquarters of the North China Front Army was located. What is even more surprising is that the people of China have completely annihilated the Second Fleet of the Empire, including the whereabouts of large warships such as Vice Admiral Toyoda and the heavy cruiser Ashiga.

When the news came, the government and the opposition were shaken, which also made the stubborn Japanese military top brass have to re-examine the role of Wang Jingwei! (To be continued.) )
