Chapter 273: An Outsider in the Bureau
Zhang Xuewu could think of Chiang Kai-shek's expression when he got the news of his return to Rehe, but Zhang Xuewu was also very angry, because Chiang Kai-shek also seemed to be too impatient? It can be said that Jiang Gong's strategy is very insightful from the long-term perspective of strategy and politics, and history has just proved this.
As Zhang Xuewu expected, Zhang Lingfu and Qiu Qingquan and others made completely different choices, Zhang Lingfu chose to stay in the Rehe Army, while Qiu Qingquan followed the remnants of the teaching corps that crossed the river to the north and retreated to Zhengzhou for supplementary reorganization.
If he was intercepted and forced to leave, it would be tantamount to tearing his face with Nanjing, and no one would look good, so Zhang Xuewu withdrew to Shigangshan Airport in Jiangbei under the protection of the six assault detachments commanded by Qin Buer, where he waited for the bombing group from Rehe and the escort fighter team.
The whole operation is extremely secretive, Zhang Xuewu doesn't want to cause too much trouble, Chiang Kai-shek is really unkind to do this, the enemy is at the moment, he actually played the trick of Ming Sheng's actual surrender intention to cut the domain, Zhang Xuewu analyzed that he may have sent Chiang Kai-shek to the Rehe Army Huangpu Sheng into the temporary first mechanized division, Chiang Kai-shek as the first person in the military and government, what he needs is not any collective like an iron plate, to achieve the sincere unity he said, if the people below are really sincerely united, Then I'm afraid that the one who can't sleep is him Jiang.
As the first person in the military and political affairs of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek played a balancing trick, balancing the forces of all parties, constantly de-dividing and dividing, even in his central military lineage, the same people who were close to him, Chiang Kai-shek would still think that he would create some small contradictions, so that the people below would be interested in him, and his position would be more stable.
The trick of killing three soldiers with two peaches Chiang Kai-shek has played many times in history, and it can be said that he is skilled, this time Chiang Kai-shek appointed Zhang Xuewu to take up the post of director of the Wuhan camp, which undoubtedly blocked the road to promotion for many people, how old is Zhang Xuewu? Are the people below waiting for it? What's more, this director of the Wuhan camp is just a temporary errand, and in the next step, Zhang Xuewu is likely to enter the core organ of the Supreme Military Commission, and the General Staff Headquarters will be appointed as the deputy director of the lieutenant general, and his brother Zhang Xueliang will be appointed as the general staff of the national government, which is also a beautiful talk!
What's more, Zhang Xuewu still has the position of the commander of the Rehe Legion, speaking of which, the Rehe Legion is strong and strong, and has won the elite headquarters of the Northeast Army, and the hundreds of thousands of troops have long been no longer legion formations, but the Supreme Military Commission has not promoted the total establishment of the Rehe Legion, but it has been given to the division level one after another, for example, the establishment of the honorary first division this time was also given to the Rehe Legion? These doubts are what Zhang Xuewu is worried about, he is afraid that as soon as he enters Wuhan, it will be as deep as the sea, so Zhang Xuewu decided that he must go, and must quickly return to Rehe to govern, Rehe does not have his own backbone, and sooner or later will be divided by Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek's thinking is very correct, and his grasp of the political situation is also very accurate.
Zhang Xuewu did not believe that his luck would be worse, the defense of Nanjing had made his reputation famous in the country, Zhang Xuewu believed that one was the force of the Rehe Army, and the second was his Zhang Xuewu's personal prestige as Zhongtian, at home and abroad, his prestige surpassed Chiang Kai-shek?
This is just like his cousin Zhang Xueliang back then, isn't Zhang Xueliang, who held heavy military power and governed eight provinces at that time, also the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force who played a pivotal role in the political axe of the Republic of China? How many years did it take? It has become a little-known general senator of the government? Senate, Senate! An errand to eat and drink and wait for death!
For Zhang Xuewu, who said that Kou Buping is home, what he can't stand the most is the never-ending internal friction, if the Chinese people use all their energy selflessly to resist external humiliation, why would they fight like this? Even the capital of the great power of the Celestial Empire has become a demilitarized zone for the New Nine-Nation Alliance?
In fact, the Nine-Nation Pact at this moment is no longer the original nine, and the invitation letters sent by Belgium include 21 countries, including Germany, a temporary participating country, which means that at least more than half of these countries will send troops into the demilitarized zone between Nanjing and Shanghai to monitor the conclusion and implementation of the armistice agreement?
Zhang Xuewu can't see what the Chinese political axe is doing in it? There is no one to consider issues from China's standpoint, and no one to consider the so-called Chinese interests for China's political axe.
In fact, in his previous life, Zhang Xuewu did not know much about the so-called Nine-Power Convention, and later when he organized and mediated the Songhu Armistice, Zhang Xuewu made efforts to thoroughly understand it, and the result was naturally indignant, it can be said that Chiang Kai-shek suffered a big loss in the so-called League of Nations and the Nine-Power Pact, and the reason for the loss was that China did not understand the play of international politics, and China was an outsider in the game.
The so-called Nine-Power Pact was created in 1922 by the United States, Britain, Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and China's Beiyang Political Axe signed an extension of the Nine-Power Pact Agreement at the Washington Conference. This treaty stipulates the principle of equal opportunities for commerce and industry of all countries in China and the principle of China's open door, and this treaty is a gross violation of China's sovereignty, reading power and territorial integrity.
However, the inaction of the League of Nations led Chiang Kai-shek to unilaterally pin his hopes on the Nine-Power Pact, which maintained the Washington system, by curbing the monopoly on China during the Great War and replacing it with the United States as the leader and the British and imperialist co-control of China.
It is hoped that the nine-nation treaty organization can play a buffering role, but the so-called initiator Britain, originally only wanted to shirk its responsibilities and prevent itself from suffering the retaliation of the original alone, hoping to push the United States to the forefront, but the United States, under the influence of isolationism, is not willing to bear any responsibility at all, and the Americans, who are far away on the verge of the storm, prefer to see war, especially large-scale war, because the United States, where almost 70 percent of the world's heavy industry and machinery industry is concentrated, is the world's industrial and manufacturing power.
At a time when the Chinese people were full of hope for the nine-nation pact meeting, the attitude of the United States, Britain, France, and other countries began to make people feel bad; although the United States expressed its willingness to participate in the conference, it was unwilling to assume the initiator of the conference, and was even unwilling to allow the conference to be held in its own country.
The main purpose of Britain's proposal to convene a meeting of the Nine-Power Pact was to shirk responsibility. At the League of Nations meeting, it opposed sanctions, and after the United States retreated, this view was further strengthened. The British government departments studied the possible impact of the sanctions, and the Treasury, the Indian Office, and the army and navy authorities attending the meeting all agreed that economic means were both ineffective and dangerous. In Britain, the most resolute opponent of sanctions is Prime Minister Nemalville Chamberlain, a representative of appeasement, who has consistently advocated that sanctions do not help China, but they may anger him.
Although France also agreed to the convening of this conference, the political turmoil at home and the entanglement of the Spanish civil war abroad made it unable to take into account the situation in the Far East, and shortly after the League of Nations Congress passed a resolution calling on its member states not to "take any action sufficient to weaken the Chinese resistance and thus increase its difficulties in the present conflict", France went so far as to accede to the unreasonable demand of the Ben to prohibit the shipment of military supplies to China through Indochina. In the event of an attack on the incoming invasion of supplies destined for the interior via Indochina, assistance will be provided to France in order for France to change its decision.
It can be said that the United States, Britain, and France have all kept themselves out of the world, and the Americans are still ashamed to secretly sell some of the high-priced military supplies smuggled in Rehe, and Britain and France have directly blocked arms sales to China, and even directly detained the weapons that China has already paid for.
It can be said that the main reason for the fiasco of Songhu [***] was the betrayal of the Nine-Power Convention Organization; the Chinese do not understand international politics, and international politics plays with no face over the other.
Now the Nine-Power Pact is not the nine countries at the time of the signing, plus Germany and other observer countries to make a total of 21 countries? In Zhang Xuewu's opinion, this is the fucking 21-nation alliance! Where is all this shameless bitch in Songhu? The blood of the [***] people in Nanjing flowed like a river, and he said that he couldn't move, so he gave the Nine-Nation Convention Organization a thin face, and these shameless and shameless guys jumped out again?
Looking at Zhang Lingfu, who was in the same car with him, Zhang Xuewu handed Zhang Lingfu the notice of the Nine-Power Convention Organization and the notice of the meeting of the Shanghai negotiations on the political axe of the National People's Republic of China and said: "Take a look! Our blood is completely in vain! ”
Zhang Lingfu took the dossier and glanced at it a few times, and suddenly said angrily: "I knew that I was still a fart!" Recognition of the demilitarized zone? Did the people from the Military Administration Department and the General Staff Headquarters stay in the rear for too long and become idiots? I can't move! Why give face to the nine-nation pact? At that time, didn't Song Hu himself ignore them? Why, in turn, do we have to submit to some bullshit mediation? ”
Zhang Xuewu sighed helplessly and said: "We can not eat this set, but the principal Jiang Gong can eat this set, we Chinese are not as faceless as Westerners, Westerners don't want to be in broad daylight, we can't learn, naturally we can't play their international politics!" ”
