597 The mediation of the four young masters of the war of aggression against Japan

Chiang Kai-shek found it strange that the Kuomintang wanted to release Zhang Xueliang because he wanted to use his 150,000 troops to attack the Trotskyist forces of Wang Zhongyi in Mongolia and Jilin and Heilongjiang. Isn't that Wang Zhongyi Luo Yaoguo's brother? Why would he still approve of the release of Zhang Xueliang? Isn't he worried that Wang Zhongyi's armed forces will be wiped out by Zhongg? Chiang Kai-shek frowned and was silent, Hu Hanmin and Xu Chongzhi also felt incredible, they spent a lot of financial and material resources to support this Wang Zhongyi, why did they just care about his life or death at this time?

Chiang Kai-shek stared at Luo Yaoguo and asked in a deep voice: "Are you worried that China and G will tear up the agreement and not deliver it to Beijing and other places?" So I want to use Zhang Xueliang to exchange part of the territory first, and at the same time open up the Jinpu Line and the Beining Line, is that so? ”。

Luo Yaoguo nodded silently, he did not deny that the Sino-Japanese war has reached the decisive stage, and if the battle in the Taiwan Strait still ends with a great victory for the Kuomintang army, Japan is likely to lose the morale to continue fighting and withdraw troops from the Chinese battlefield. However, in the process of withdrawing troops, they will certainly try their best to create friction between the KMT and the CPC, and at the very least, to re-strain the relationship between the KMT and the CPC. At that time, it will not be so easy to get GCD to fulfill the agreement that was made before.

"After all, the territory division agreement we reached with Zhongg is something on paper, if the Japanese army transfers all the territory to Zhongg when they retreat from the northeast, will they still hand over the territory in the Guannai to us unconditionally? So it's better to take advantage of the opportunity they want to return to Zhang Xueliang now and grab a part of the territory in their hands first. Luo Yaoguo was always worried about the war with China, and he couldn't know the real strength of the Kuomintang army at the moment.

Although the Kuomintang army was strong in combat, its numbers were too small, and it was only the 23 divisions that had been trained before the war that could really fight. Moreover, the Kuomintang army is excessively heavy, and the combat of the troops relies heavily on heavy artillery and air superiority, and once it leaves the artillery and aircraft, it cannot be brought into play, and because there are too many heavy weapons, and the degree of motorization and mechanization is not high, the mobility of the Kuomintang army is poor, and the requirements for logistics and supply are too high. In addition, the Kuomintang army was not strong in the complex terrain where heavy weapons such as mountains and hills were difficult to use, and the roads were in poor condition. These weaknesses were covered up in previous wars because the opponent was not strong and the Kuomintang army won easily, but they were only exposed in the Battle of Western Liaoning and the Battle of Bohai Bay. If those god-level military strategists can make full use of the various weaknesses of the Kuomintang army, give full play to their advantages of being flexible, good at mountain warfare and mobile warfare, and with the support of the Soviet Union, they should be able to deal with the Kuomintang for a long time.

"Brother Fuwen is too worried." Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and said: "Although it is possible for the Japanese army to hand over the territory to the Zhongg when it retreats, the Zhongg is also in great trouble now, and Wang Zhongyi's two or three hundred thousand Trotskyist forces control Mongolia, the Daxinganling area, half of Heilongjiang, and Ulanqab and other places. There is a lot of room for strategic maneuver, and even if the Central G gets Jilin and the eastern part of Heilongjiang, it will be difficult to defeat him with the forces at hand. As long as Zhongg does not defeat Wang Zhongyi, they will not dare to turn their faces against us. ”

"I think it's okay to let Zhang Xueliang make a statement to guarantee that his three legions will not be used for civil wars, but only for foreign wars, so that we can release him." Xu Chongzhi does not seem to be temporarily detaining Zhang Xueliang, he suggested.

"What you said is very true." Luo Yaoguo immediately expressed his support, and continued detention of Zhang Xueliang was unfavorable to the Kuomintang in terms of public opinion, and his release may increase the strength of the Central G to encircle and suppress Wang Zhongyi, Xu Chongzhi's idea can have the best of both worlds: "Although Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army has hung the brand of the Red Army, it has not really completed the reorganization, and it is still the essence of the warlord army. Moreover, they are still the head snakes in the Northeast, and they have a broken family enmity with the Japanese, and after they return to the Northeast, their anti-Japanese attitude should be more resolute, and they will also try their best to occupy the territory in order to make a comeback, which is actually a big trouble for the Chinese G. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was a little tempted at this time, and he nodded: "Fuwen, you will go to see Zhang Xueliang tomorrow and discuss with him, if he is willing to make such a statement, we can release him." Another point you can also tell him is that some of the Anti-Japanese League was adapted from the original Northeast Army, and if he wants to return to these troops, we can mediate from them, and we can also station them in Harbin, but they cannot join the Red Army, and can only be stationed in Harbin as a neutral person. ”

There is also a reason why Chiang Kai-shek specifically mentioned that this part of the Northeast Army that joined the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and this part of the army is now unwilling to "enter the trust" with Wang Zhongyi, and of course it is unwilling to follow the Central G to participate in the liberation of all mankind, which has become an uncertain factor. If Zhang Xueliang can resettle them in Harbin under his banner, it would be a good choice to act as a buffer zone to the east of Wang Zhongyi. And this army, which does not care about heaven and earth, is also very likely to become a rift between Zhang Xueliang and Zhong G......

Luo Yaoguo secretly admired Lao Jiang's arrangement, this Lao Jiang was worthy of being an old 'traitor' and a cunning conspirator, and he had his own set of skills in playing with warlords from all walks of life. However, when he arrived in the Northeast Theater, he would probably have to suffer a little bit against the real Bolsheviks.

The day after the meeting of the five bigwigs, Luo Yaoguo personally visited General Zhang Xueliang, who was on vacation in Wuhan for "sex" treatment.

"General Hanqing, our party would like to ask you to end your treatment and return to the front line of resistance against Japan." There were almost no pleasantries, and Luo Yaoguo immediately got to the point: "Before the general immediately goes to Wuhan, I hope you can issue a declaration on uniting to resist Japan and opposing the civil war, stating that the 8th, 9th, and 10th Army Corps of the Red Army led by you will not be used in the civil war." ”

Luo Yaoguo's conditions made Zhang Xueliang a little difficult, although he was not yet a real Bolshevik, but he still had some understanding of the strict discipline and strict organization of the Chinese G. Being kidnapped by the Kuomintang as a GCD member is already a big mistake, and he doesn't seem to have fought to the death with the kidnapper Chiang Kai-shek, let alone playing hunger strike in the "prison" or something, at most he is smoking. I wonder if the protest can be regarded as a struggle?

It was already a great sin to be kidnapped and not to fight the Kuomintang to the end, and now in order to be released, he had to declare that the three regiments under his control would not participate in the civil war...... It should refer to the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party that will break out in the future, right? If such a statement is made, I wonder if it will impose severe sanctions on the organization in the future.

Seeing that Zhang Xueliang was a little hesitant, Luo Yaoguo gave a big carrot again: "In addition, there are tens of thousands of people within the Anti-Japanese Federation who do not want to participate in the civil war, they want to remain neutral in the struggle between the Chinese and Trotskyists, and I am afraid that they are also unwilling to be enemies of Brother Han Qing." The idea is for them to occupy Harbin, to remain armed and neutral. ”

"Give me back both Harbin and the Northeast Frontier Army?" A trace of joy flashed on Zhang Xueliang's face, obviously a little moved.

"Yes, so that you can explain the past in front of Zhong G, right? If they don't want to forgive you, you can just go back to Harbin and ignore the conflict between them" Luo Yaoguo shook his head and continued: "They all worship the same ancestor, why bother killing each other for a mantle? Besides, this mantle of Lenin will not be Zhou E's turn to come to Wang Zhongyi, it is the struggle between Stalin and Trotsky, what does it have to do with us Chinese? Brother Han Qing might as well issue another statement to mediate the contradictions between the Chinese and Trotskyists, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and they are all followers of Marxism and Lenin, so why bother? ”

"Well, that's exactly how it should be." Zhang Xueliang raised his eyebrows and replied: "I can issue this statement, I can mediate the conflict between Zhou Elai and Wang Zhongyi, I have a relationship with both of them." But the statement that it will not participate in the civil war ......"

"What" Luo Yaoguo was stunned and stunned, and said in his heart: "Is this Zhang Xueliang really confused or pretending to be confused?" I'm just casually saying that as soon as the statement that he really wants to mediate the contradictions between the GCD and the Trotskyists comes out, I guess there will be a good show. But he's going to be unlucky in the future, shouldn't he curse me in his heart? ”

Zhang Xueliang nodded: "Yes, as a GCD person, of course, I hope that our party can be united, and I believe that this is also the expectation of most GCD people." Moreover, I am also a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Central Committee of the Chinese Revolution, and I should do my part to maintain the unity of the party. ”

"Well, Brother Han Qing is right, it's really ...... that your party can have a comrade like you It's really Marx who has a spirit in heaven, uh, I believe that Marx must not want to see his followers kill each other below, right? Luo Yaoguo thought for a moment: "Why don't you do it, General Han Qing added a sentence to the telegram between the mediation and the Trotskyists that he hoped that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party could coexist peacefully after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, so that I could also explain the past to the 'presidium' group, and you can also return to the anti-Japanese front as soon as possible, is this okay?" ”。

Of course, Luo Yaoguo sincerely hoped that the GCD and the Trotskyists could coexist peacefully, and also hoped that the Kuomintang and the GCD would maintain peace after the victory of the war of aggression against Japan......

……

Kure Gungang, Japan.

March 15, early morning.

Snow-white searchlights pierced the night, countless trucks rushed between the warehouse and the dock, the sailors shouted from time to time, and the iron wall of the crane swayed back and forth, hoisting countless supplies onto the warships moored outside the dock.

Standing on the top of the bridge of the battleship "Nagato" and looking at the battleships being prepared around him, even Heihachiro Togo, the god of the Imperial Japanese Navy, was excited and the ground was red, and he had been standing here since last night despite his advanced age of more than 80 years.

It is as if I have returned to the Sino-Japanese War 37 years ago, and to the Russo-Japanese War 27 years ago, and it was these two wars that defeated powerful opponents that pushed Japan from a "small country" to the throne of the hegemon of East Asia.

In order to preserve the honor of the Empire and the hegemony of the East, the Combined Fleet will set off again, this time to challenge the hegemony of the Empire is the defeated general of 37 years ago, the behemoth that once dominated the East Asian continent for thousands of years, and now they have been revived

Standing behind him were the three commanders of this operation, codenamed "Special No. 1 Operation Plan".

Senior Admiral Kanji Kato, commander of the Combined Fleet and commander of the First Fleet, will command a fleet that includes the flagship of the Combined Fleet, the battleship "Nagato", the battleship "Mutsu", two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, and six destroyers, plus the aircraft carrier "Fengxiang", which carries only Type 92 fighters, and one supply ship. It is the main force of this operation and the largest striking force of the combined fleet.

The commander of the Second Fleet, Vice Admiral Kobayashi, consisted of the battlecruiser "Zhenmei", the battleship "Yamashiro", two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers and six destroyers, also carrying a supply ship. The task of the Second Fleet is to feint and attract a strong Chinese aviation force, which is basically a dead end

The Commander of the First Air Fleet, Vice Admiral Mitsumasa Yonechi, said that the First Air Fleet consisted of the aircraft carrier "Akagi", the aircraft carrier "Kaga", two heavy cruisers, three light cruisers and five destroyers, and one supply ship. The task of the First Air Fleet was to lure the enemy, and Eisuke Yamamoto, the head of the Naval Command, believed that the Shina Navy attached great importance to aviation combat power, so it would definitely regard the Japanese aircraft carriers as the most dangerous potential enemy, so only by using aircraft carriers could the Shina aircraft carriers be brought out.

This is all the mobile forces that can be mobilized by the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Empire at present, and it is also the fate of the Imperial Japanese Army

Victory, the Japanese Empire will be able to regain sea power in the East Ocean, although it may not be able to save the precarious island of Taiwan, but after annihilating the main force of the China Navy, it can still completely blockade the coast of China outside the combat radius of shore-based aircraft

Fail? No, the combined fleet will never fail

Heihachiro Togo glanced at the huge fleet moored in Kure's port.

Every ship is kept in the best condition at all times, every sailor is one in a hundred, has undergone the most rigorous training in the world, and every officer is an elite graduate of the best Etajima Naval School in the world. How could the Shina Navy be an opponent of the Imperial Japanese Navy?

So this operation will never fail

"The rise and fall of the imperial country, in this battle, all the officers and soldiers, work hard"

Heihachiro Togo turned around and shouted the famous slogan to the three behind him. At the same time, a Z-shaped flag was slowly raised on the flagship of the Combined Fleet, the Nagato.

… Whole.

With the anticipating eyes of the Minister of the Navy, the Minister of Military Orders, and the veterans of the Navy, Heihachiro Togo, Gonbei Yamamoto, and others, the First Fleet slowly sailed out of Kure's military port and took the lead in heading for the South China Sea, more than 2,000 kilometers away.

When all three fleets disappeared from sight, Heihachiro Togo found that his eyes were full of tears, and when he looked back at Eisuke Yamamoto and the others behind him, they were also in tears.

……

"Fuwen, the Japanese Combined Fleet has departed"

Luo Yaoguo stood up from behind his desk abruptly, rushed over, and took the telegram from Natalie's hand. Sun Ke and Li Shunen, who were sitting cross-legged on the sofa next to the desk, glanced at each other. They all came to discuss with Luo Yaoguo the progress of the research and development of the new monoplane sample aircraft-1. Seeing Luo Yaoguo's eagerness, Young Master Sun of the Armaments Department and Commander-in-Chief Li of the Air Force couldn't help but look grim.

As the most core figures of the Kuomintang military, they are well aware of the true combat power of the Kuomintang Navy. Although the so-called 100-year navy is a bit exaggerated, it is not completely unreasonable. Although since the 14th year of the Republic of China, the Nationalist "government" has continued to invest heavily in the navy, and has also hired the best naval officers from Germany with high salaries to serve as military advisers and instructors of the naval academy, but after all, the time is only six or six years, and even building a truly powerful army seems too short, let alone a navy that is claimed to take a hundred years to build?

At present, the Kuomintang Navy has no commendable combat power at all, except for submarines and aircraft, and although it has risen to the third place in the world, if it really wants to fight a surface artillery battle, the Japanese can probably take down all the surface ships of the Nanyang Fleet with a few heavy cruisers

This was not denied even by the entire Kuomintang Navy itself, which was also extremely worried about the well-trained Japanese surface ships...... In addition to Zhao Zheng and Zhang Yiming, two alternatives. One of them thinks that as long as the surface fleet can operate ships, shoot anti-submarine guns, and can fight anti-submarine weapons, and the enemy's battleships, heavy cruisers, and so on, all of them will be handed over to the planes to solve the problem, while the other thinks that the Japanese Combined Fleet, which has weak anti-submarine capabilities, is simply a tragedy; more than ten years after the German U-boat submarines have shown extraordinary combat effectiveness in the world war, they have not even trained themselves well in anti-submarine warfare, and they just dream of using naval guns and battleships to fight the world all day long, and they are completely a bunch of fools with rusty brains.

However, Luo Yaoguo does not have the confidence of these two "naval duo", in fact, so far, the threat of aircraft and submarines to the surface fleet is still very limited. It can't be compared with the Second World War at all, and even the Yan-1 sample aircraft, which was blown out of the sky by Minister of Armaments Sun Ke and Seversky, the general manager of the Republic Aircraft Company (owned by Luo Yaoguo), is not advanced at all in Luo Yaoguo's eyes.

So this time in the decisive battle with the Japanese Combined Fleet, he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Luo Yaoguo took the telegram. I hurriedly opened it and looked at it carefully a few times.

This morning, when they returned to work at the naval factory near Kure Gungang Port, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy in Kure Gungang Port had disappeared, including three aircraft carriers and four battleships and battle cruisers, and all six heavy cruisers (armored cruisers) had been dispatched
