Chapter 332: Repercussions from all sides
On the evening of 12 December, when Song Meiling, who was visiting relatives in Shanghai, heard the news that Commander Jiang had been jointly detained by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, she was so frightened that she had no master.
However, she instinctively wanted to return to Nanjing immediately to discuss with Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen how to rescue Commander Chiang.
However, at this time, the night train from Shanghai to Nanjing had already departed, and most of the current planes did not have the ability to fly at night.
Even if she wants to drive back, she has to find an old driver who often runs to Nanjing and Shanghai. Moreover, the road from Shanghai to Nanjing is not quiet, and bandits are often rampant.
She also had to mobilize the garrisons of the cities around Shanghai in order to return to Nanjing with peace of mind. But by the time she had done these things well, I was afraid that she would have delayed her return to Nanjing that night.
And now that Commander Chiang has just been placed under house arrest, she is the first person in China to know the news, how dare she lightly leak the news of Commander Chiang's house arrest?
Just when Song Meiling's six gods were gone, the entourage around Song Meiling reminded her, why didn't she come forward with the Huaxing Escort Team?
Song Meiling thought about it, but no, the force of the Huaxing Escort Force is notoriously strong in the Republic of China, and with their protection, there must be no problem in returning to Nanjing safely. So he immediately sent someone to invite Li Tie to come to the Song Mansion.
Since Li Tie went to the United States to marry Tang Mengxue three months ago, he stayed in the United States for a month and returned to Shanghai in early October.
In the two months since he returned to Shanghai, he arranged all the work of Huaxing Foreign Bank during the day, and was tired of being with the thousand-tailed scorpion every day at night.
I don't know if the thousand-tailed scorpion's longing for so many years has finally paid off, just last month, the thousand-tailed scorpion was diagnosed with pregnancy, which made Li Tie and the thousand-tailed scorpion who had been infertile for many years overjoyed.
It's not that the thousand-tailed scorpion is just two months pregnant, but Li Tie has already taken care of the thousand-tailed scorpion as a baby every day. Even if the thousand-tailed scorpion wanted to drink saliva, Li Tie had to fart and bring the warm water cup to the thousand-tailed scorpion.
But the thousand-tailed scorpion is an idle person at all, and after enjoying Li Tie's life like waiting for the queen mother for a month, the thousand-tailed scorpion began to return to its old life. began the days of adding fists and kicks to Li Tie again. And during this period of time, Li Tie is really living in a life of pain and happiness.
After all, he finally has a crystallization of love with the thousand-tailed scorpion, and he can finally face Xu Meiqi with peace of mind every day.
Otherwise, every time he went to Xu Meiqi's room, Li Tie felt very uncomfortable when he thought that the thousand-tailed scorpion was guarding the empty room alone, and he felt sorry for the thousand-tailed scorpion.
Now that the thousand-tailed scorpion is pregnant, from now on, the thousand-tailed scorpion will never be lonely again, and he can finally put his mind at ease.
Seeing that the national war of resistance is about to begin, he still has a lot of preparations to do, counting that today is December 12th, and the Xi'an Incident in the previous life happened today.
Why hasn't there been any news yet? The eyeliner you put in Xi'an is not a passive slacking, right?
Just when Li Tie was still suspicious, Song Meiling's envoy came to Li Tie's villa, and after proposing Song Meiling's name, he finally met Li Tie.
When Li Tie heard Song Meiling's request for special envoy, Li Tie was still wondering, in the original history, Song Meiling seemed to go to Nanjing by train that night. Could it be that because of his arrival, this train has not been changed?
But no matter what, when he thought of today's special day, Li Tie didn't think too much about it, and immediately resigned to the Thousand Tails Scorpion and Xu Meiqi.
And told Xu Meiqi to take care of her two daughters, and at the same time take care of the newly pregnant thousand-tailed scorpion, he went to Nanjing this time, as soon as three or two days, and as slow as a week will come back.
Then Li Tie personally called the Huaxing Guard, transferred a 200-strong Huaxing Guard, and then called a platoon of Golden Tiger Rangers to escort Madame Jiang back to Nanjing.
Song Meiling still trusts Li Tie very much, not only got into the car arranged by Li Tie, but also took a car with Li Tie to Nanjing. When Li Tie protected Song Meiling and rushed to Nanjing overnight.
That night, the ministers of various countries and the major dignitaries of China also knew about the military admonition in Xi'an.
As soon as the warlords from all over China heard that Commander Chiang had been arrested, their hearts were ecstatic, God could be regarded as an eye-opener, and finally cleaned up Commander Chiang, what has everyone made Commander Chiang into in the past few years?
The territory that he had worked so hard to get was swallowed by Commander Chiang, and he worked hard to raise some troops for Commander Chiang to absorb. finally united several families to oppose Chiang.
Commander Jiang ate gold, and the beauties smashed it, and his team threw himself into Commander Jiang's arms.
Over the years, how many warlord brothers have China let Commander Chiang exterminate? There are not a hundred, there are dozens, right?
This is good, now that he Commander Jiang has also gone to memorize the words, someone has finally cleaned him up.
Therefore, after these warlords heard the news that Commander Chiang was captured by the rebels that night, they immediately began to burn incense and pray, praying that the young and vigorous Zhang Xueliang would shoot Commander Chiang with one shot.
Everyone thought in their hearts that as long as the Republic of China was not presided over by Commander Chiang, the mountain on their heads could be removed.
They no longer have to worry about Commander Jiang coming to clean them up, and they themselves can live a leisurely life like an emperor for a few more years.
As an ally of Commander Chiang, the US government was very concerned about Commander Chiang's safety and hoped that Commander Chiang would return safely.
So that night, the U.S. government instructed the U.S. envoy in China to closely monitor the development of the coup d'état in Xi'an, China.
At the same time, it is necessary to actively cooperate with the Nationalist Government and strive to rescue Commander Chiang at an early date. In addition, the US government is also preparing to launch public opinion the next day to criticize Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng for their despicable behavior. And fully support the Nationalist Government in the peaceful resolution of this incident.
Britain, France, and Germany, on the other hand, were unconcerned about the robbery of China's leaders. Because at this time, Edward VIII of England was abdicating.
The British royal family and the British Parliament are making Edward VIII anxious, and where is he in the mood to care about the of the Chinese Civil War thousands of miles away.
France was busy with the Communists in the streets, and since the establishment of the socialist red state in the Soviet Union, it has been the birthplace of the European revolution.
The French, who had always been fond of new ideas, began to stir up a wave of revolution in the working class again. This has made it even more difficult for the French government, which has not yet recovered from the economic crisis.
Therefore, they have not yet dealt with the mess in their own country, and how can they have the energy to manage China, which is thousands of miles away.
At this time, Germany was busy planning to continue to expand their bottom line to test the bottom line of European countries, Hitler had just signed a mutual assistance agreement with Japan, and he thought that Asia would be Japanese in the future, so what did it have to do with them Germany?
So the Germans devoted all their energies to how to break through the yoke of the European powers. Naturally, he didn't care about the arrest of Commander Chiang.
Of all the foreign powers, Japan was the only one who was thrilled to hear the news. From the emperor to the cabinet, they all wished that Commander Chiang would die quickly, so that they could take advantage of the loss of China's leader to start another war and invade more territory in China.
It was also on the night of that day that Senior General Dohihara, the intelligence chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, who had just received the news, was the first high-ranking Japanese official in China to learn of the news.
After he got the news, he only pondered for a while, and immediately called his own lieutenant. The adjutant was ordered to report this information to the Ministry of Internal Intelligence, and requested the Ministry of Intelligence to report it immediately to His Majesty the Emperor.
Then when the adjutant left, Tsuchihara immediately went to the telegraph department of the Kwantung Army and sent a telegram to the intelligence department in Nanjing.
In the telegram, he informed Shui Chongyang, the head of the Nanjing intelligence department, about the arrest of Commander Chiang, and at the same time he hoped that Shui Chongyang would immediately lead an action team to Xi'an.
Prepare actions to disrupt the peaceful liberation of Xi'an, which may occur in the coming days.
Also on this night, after the military coup d'état in Xi'an, Zhang Xueliang reported the capture of Commander Chiang alive to the Northwest Red Army that night.
Zhang Xueliang hoped to get the support of the Northwest Red Army, and if they had a big fight with the Central Army, with the support of the Northwest Red Army, they would have a way out.
After learning that Commander Chiang had been arrested, the first reaction of the Northwest Red Army was to immediately persuade Zhang Xueliang to kill Commander Chiang, and even when this news was reported to the headquarters of the Soviet Red Army, the Communist headquarters of the Soviet Union replied in this way.
Let the Northwest Red Army immediately send people to Xi'an to persuade Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to kill Commander Chiang, to avenge the dead Red Army soldiers, and to avenge the dead Soviet people.
However, under the repeated scrutiny of Zhou Weiren and others, the Northwest Red Army believed that the disadvantages of killing Commander Chiang now far outweighed the benefits.
Because of the death of Commander Chiang, China will now face a state of leaderlessness and warlord separation, although the current Red Army is very strong, but it does not have an absolute advantage in China's warlord forces.
In other words, once China once again had civil strife, the Red Army would not be able to take advantage of this to gain power in the whole country. At the same time, because of the loss of the strong leadership of Commander Chiang, the Nationalist Army was bound to start a major war with the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army.
As an ally of the two armies, the Red Army in the Northwest also had to join the melee, which would cause China to fall into huge civil strife again, which would greatly damage China's vitality and add more difficulties for driving out the Japanese in the future.
At the same time, the lives of ordinary people in China will become more difficult as a result. In the end, in order to take into account the overall situation, the Northwest Red Army obeyed the majority with the minority, and finally passed a resolution to strive for a peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident.
After the meeting, it was decided to send a delegation of the Red Army headed by Zhou Weiren to Xi'an immediately to meet with Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng and explain to them the stakes of the incident.
Strive to achieve a peaceful settlement of the issue of the Xi'an Incident on the premise of stopping the civil war and unifying with the outside world.
