The cold wind from Siberia swept through the mountains of the wasteland, blowing everything in heaven and earth to slaughter.

"It's really thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drift......ing," Luo Yaoguo lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the white and endless snow scene of the Northeast Great Plain in front of him, and muttered to himself.

Only a few days after the Spring Festival in the nineteenth year of the Republic of China, he went out again and went to the northeast of Zhang Xueliang's territory to enjoy the snow. At this moment, I was riding a car from the airport to Harbin City. Zhang Xueliang has moved the Marshal's Mansion to this ice city full of White Russia and full of Russian style.

On both sides of the car, a group of cavalry of the Northeast Army was serving as escorts, all wearing heavy cloaks, and the ear guards of dogskin hats were also lowered, and they were moving forward with difficulty in the wind and snow. The climate in the Northeast is unusually cold in winter, not to mention combat, even field marching is not easy. Even Luo Yaoguo, who was sitting in the car, felt a little cold, hurriedly tightened the military coat on his body, and leaned closer to Natalie beside him. Well, it's a bit of a huddle for warmth.

To tell the truth, Luo Yaoguo is particularly reluctant to run to the north on these nine cold days, let alone come to this icy and snowy Heilongjiang. It's just that the current situation can't allow him to hug his wife and concubines in his home in Wuhan. The Sino-G crusade against Shanxi is about to begin, and the Kuomintang will get involved if it doesn't get it right. At that time, the northeast will be a little dangerous, although Zhang Xueliang listened to the advice of Chiang Kai-shek and Guo Songling and moved the old camp to Harbin. However, with the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army and the skills of Zhang Shaoshuai in fighting, I am afraid that it will not be able to fight against Japan alone. What's more, the Northeast Army is a thousand-day defense against thieves, while the Kwantung Army may launch a surprise attack at any time. The initiative is completely in the hands of others, and there are also internal responses such as Xiqia and Jin Puxin, so Luo Yaoguo had to come to the northeast to discuss with Zhang Xueliang the issue of supplying the Mongolian Seventh Route Army. In case the Northeast Army can't resist, this Seventh Route Army may be able to march east to resist Japan......

In addition, he also had to meet Wang Zhongyi in Harbin with Wang Zhongyi, who had not been seen for many days, and discuss with him the possibility of advancing eastward. That master is also a warlord all the way now, and even Zhong G can't help him, so Luo Yaoguo can only coax him. Moreover, in order for this "Mongolian king" to advance eastward to resist the Japanese, the supply of weapons and equipment must be prepared in advance, and this war may have to be fought for many years. You can't expect Wang Zhongyi's army to rely on capture to fight, and naturally you can't point to the aid of the Soviet Union, hehe, in this time and space, they can't fight with Japan from the north and south

"Fuwen, should we remind Zhang Xueliang that there are Japanese insiders among his subordinates?" Natalie leaned close to Luo Yaoguo's ear and whispered in German that the suggestion might be arranged as an inadvertent ......"

"Don't worry about it." Luo Yaoguo also interrupted her words in German, he gently held her soft and slender hand, and smiled, If something doesn't happen here in the Northeast, we and GCD may live in peace? This is a last resort. ”

"GCD will fall into this suit? They could have concluded an agreement with Japan to recognize the warlords they had fostered in exchange for support. This is what Lenin and Trotsky did. Natalie frowned and shook her head.

Luo Yaoguo frowned, this is not enough, right...... After all, the national conditions of Soviet Russia are different from those of China. If China dares to do this, must it be unanimously condemned and opposed by the whole country? Moreover, the Kuomintang has now held high the banner of resistance against Japan and Russia, and once the Japanese invasion occurs, it can only show that the Kuomintang is prescient. If China and G want to win the hearts and minds of the people, they can only hold this anti-Japanese banner higher.

"Then they won't put pressure on us under the pretext that China has not yet been reunified? It is proposed to unify first and then resist Japan. Do you want us to accept their unified approach? Natalie rested her head on Luo Yaoguo's shoulder and muttered a few more words.

Luo Yaoguo stretched out his hand and touched her smooth and delicate face, and said with a deep smile, so he had to arrange for Wang Zhongyi to march east and unite with the Northeast Army, and then set up a 'Resistance Alliance'. We, the Northeast Army, and Wang Zhongyi all participated in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression based on Heilongjiang. China G will definitely follow up, they may not have the strength to counterattack the northeast from the front, but it is still possible to infiltrate behind enemy lines and open up base areas behind enemy lines. As long as that's it...... That's enough. ”

……

While Luo Yaoguo and Natalie rushed from the airport to Harbin, Zhou Elai and Deng Yanda sat in the living room of the central government office in Beijing and drank tea. This office occupies a manor on the outskirts of Harbin, which was originally Zhang Xueliang's property, and after the old battalion of the Northeast Army moved north to Harbin, it was given to Zhong G as an office, and the director of the office was Luo Yaoguo's old acquaintance Li Shuning.

Not because of financial constraints, this living room has almost no decoration, only two rows of chairs and a few coffee tables. Zhou Elai and Deng Yanda sat side by side on the top seats, holding the freshly brewed tea in their hands, sipping it lightly. Li Shuning sat on a chair at the bottom of the head, holding her knees with her hands, and seemed a little restrained.

"Prime Minister, Chief." Li Shuning smiled at the two big leaders and began to report on the work, and the old battalion of the Northeast Army has almost completed the relocation. According to the information gathered by the comrades we entered, the weapons and ammunition in it were piled up, enough to arm 200,000 troops, and the Northeast Army also received 100 F-1 and A-1 planes and a large amount of ground support equipment at the end of last year. They were all given by Wuhan, and the pilots and ground crews were trained at the military academy in Wuhan. Now the air force is also deployed to the airfield near Harbin. Furthermore...... Through Zhang Xueliang's secretary, we also heard that Luo Yaoguo, chief of the general staff of the Wuhan Nationalist Government, would come to Harbin today. You may have gotten off the plane and are heading to the city. ”

Zhou E frowned, and his heart sank. During this period, the central authorities were already preparing to take resolute action against Shanxi, and he made a special trip to the northeast this time to do Zhang Xueliang's united front work. Strive to get him to support the central government in Shanxi, at least ...... Be neutral as well. And Luo Yaoguo came here at this time, could it be to let the Northeast Army stand on Yan Xishan's side during the Battle of Shanxi?

"E come, this Luo Yaoguo is only afraid that the person who came is not good, their Kuomintang rightists spent a lot of money on Zhang Xueliang, sending planes and artillery, and Zhang Luo also helped the Northeast Army move the old camp...... But they are all real benefits. I'm afraid that our empty words can't compare to others. Deng Yanda's tone was heavier, and his eyebrows gradually frowned. The real worry in his heart was that Zhang Xueliang was bribed by the Kuomintang to join the camp of the Wuhan side. At that time, the central government in Beijing will be embattled, and not only will Shanxi not be able to take it, but even Beijing will not be able to guarantee where these Kuomintang leftists will go when the time comes?

Deng Yanda's accentuated tone From the perspective of the strategic situation, the right wing of the Kuomintang was joined by Zhang Xueliang, and then Yan Xishan was co-opted, plus Wang Zizhi, who had already taken refuge in Wuhan...... There is also that fake GCD Wang Zhongyi, but he is about to form a strategic encirclement of us. No matter what happens this time, Zhang Xueliang can't be let fall. ”

Zhang Xueliang has now become a key factor in the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party Zhou Elai looked serious, in fact, the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee also knew that the current situation was dominated by the Kuomintang, but they were not sure of victory, so the final decisive battle did not break out. Over the years, the Kuomintang has been very steady in every step, expanding its territory and strength step by step with steady and steady tactics. But once they have the support of the Northeast Army...... For Beijing, you will be sure of victory.

"Choosing a life." Zhou Elai looked at Deng Yanda with a solemn expression, tell me, does our Beijing central government have the eyeballs that can attract Zhang Xueliang's attention? And let him not fall to Wuhan? The current situation is that the right wing of the Kuomintang has the upper hand, and if Zhang Xueliang falls again, they will have an overwhelming advantage, and the road of peaceful reunification and democratic nation-building that we are pursuing will be hopeless. ”

Is there anything that can attract Zhang Xueliang? Deng Yanda was slightly stunned when he heard this, he understood that this was Zhou Elai's hint, and at the same time, he clearly told him that the left wing of the Kuomintang must pay a certain price in this action to win over Zhang Xueliang, because the current Beijing government has nothing to buy Zhang Xueliang except for the officials who have been devalued. And the official position that can make Zhang Xueliang tempted, I'm afraid that only the vice president, this position has already been said to be given to Deng Yanda......

"We can consider relinquishing the position of vice president......" Deng Yanda hesitated for a moment, as if relieved. But I didn't agree very happily, but I looked like I was in pain, and it looked like I still wanted to get some compensation from Zhong G.

"Of course, our party will not abandon the old for the sake of the new." Zhou Enlai glanced at Deng Yanda and smiled slightly, and our ideal of peaceful reunification and democratic nation-building cannot be done without the participation of the left wing of the Kuomintang, and our party's attitude in this regard is very clear. This time, you will not let you give up the post of vice president for nothing. If you have a request, just say it. ”

Zhou Elai's attitude relaxed, Deng Yanda was overjoyed, and hurriedly said We still have some comrades in Henan and Shandong, and they are all middle- and lower-level officers of the former 21st Division. These people are now unwilling to submit to the right wing of the Kuomintang, hoping to find an opportunity to make a comeback. No...... Can your party help? ”

"You don't want to launch an armed uprising on the territory of the right wing of the Kuomintang" Zhou Elai glared at Deng Yanda with a look of surprise. At present, the social environment on the territory of the right wing of the Kuomintang is stable, the economy is developing well, and although the common people are poor, their lives are improving at a relatively rapid pace...... In this case, China and G did not dare to launch an uprising, so as not to make a cold scene. I didn't expect the Kuomintang leftists to go to this kind of meat bun and dog business.

Seeing Zhou E's expression, Deng Yanda thought about it, and hurriedly waved his hand, We don't have this strength yet, but we just want to gather those comrades to your party's territory and reorganize an army. ”

Zhou Elai silently calculated that the Kuomintang left faction could only gather a group of middle- and lower-level officers at most, and soldiers and more lower-level officers and non-commissioned officers had to be deployed with the help of the central government. In this way, this army is actually shared by the left wing of the Kuomintang and the Central G, and in the end it will even be completely controlled by the Central G. And in this way, to the satisfaction of the Kuomintang left, the deal should be very cost-effective. He smiled and said Okay, let's give a number of the 19th Route Army, but the salary can only be given to one division, and you can find a way to solve the rest. ”

A trace of gratitude flashed on Deng Yanda's face, thank you. We, the leftists of the Kuomintang, have not handed over it, and here I assure you that this 19th Route Army absolutely obeys the orders of the central government, and we will fight whoever the central government tells us to fight. Oh, the position of vice president will be given to Zhang Hanqing. ”

"Brother Good Choice, being able to do this is really a great favor for my party." Zhou Elai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with the position of vice president, he should be able to temporarily stabilize Zhang Xueliang, so that the certainty of the battle of Shanxi is a little bigger.

……

In Zhang Xueliang's Harbin Marshal's Mansion, in the secret room, the fireplace is red, and the smell of burning wood and the fragrance of tea that can only be found in the best oolong are wafting everywhere in the air. Luo Yaoguo changed into a suit, held Natalie's jade hand, and the two sat side by side in a couch. Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi sat opposite them, chatting and laughing with Luo Yaoguo. The Mongolian king Wang Zhongyi was also sitting here at this time, and behind him stood a young officer with beautiful eyebrows, who was none other than Lin Yurong, chief of staff of the Seventh Route Army.

Luo Yaoguo was sipping oolong tea, and he talked to Zhang Xueliang without saying a word. The corner of his eye turned to Lin Yurong, who he hadn't seen for many days, and Lin Yurong, who looked a little familiar, but he really couldn't remember which big man in history was. This young soldier with a thin figure and delicate eyebrows is a bit like a girl, but he just stands there, but he faintly shows a bit of the grandeur that only a general has. This kind of bearing Luo Yaoguo has only seen in Guderian, Rommel, An Sihua and Bai Chongxi. Could it be that this person is a military genius buried by history......

The greeting scene was finished after a while, and finally began to get down to business. However, unlike what Zhou Elai imagined, Luo Yaoguo didn't want Zhang Xueliang to play the blue sky and white sun flag at all...... In the secret meeting of the five bigwigs, he also strongly opposed this matter.

"Brother Han Qing." I saw Luo Yaoguo's serious face, and the current situation in the north and northwest began to tense again. In North China, China and G are already deploying troops and seem to be about to attack Shanxi, and on the Sino-Soviet border in Mongolia and Xinjiang, there have been frequent small-scale border clashes recently, and even fire has been fired in many places, and this unusual situation is very likely to be the beginning of a new aggressive conspiracy of the Soviet Union, so we hope to fulfill the promise made to the people of the whole country in last year's 'anti-Japanese and anti-Russian telecommunications' and provide support to Xinjiang and Mongolia. But...... For the time being, the only way to support Mongolia is to borrow from the Northeast Army. ”

Zhang Xueliang smiled, it doesn't matter if he waved his hand, where is the use of such a trivial matter, Brother Fuwen came all the way to come in person? Take a telegram, or let Wan Yanhao notify you. Our Northeast Army has taken so many benefits from you in the past few years, can you help with this little help? Besides, you are not doing this for the benefit of one party or one faction, but for the sake of the country. If I don't agree, won't I become a traitor and traitor?

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed, and everyone nodded and smiled. It seems that in a harmonious atmosphere, Wang Zhongyi touched his beard and smiled, General Hanqing is really dedicated to the country, and he admires it. However, this time, the amount of arms to be transported into Mongolia was particularly large, with as many as 200,000 rifles alone, tens of thousands of machine guns, and hundreds of millions of bullets. In addition, there are thirty-six 105mm howitzers, one hundred and eight 75mm mountain guns, a thousand mortars of various calibers, and hundreds of thousands of shells of various types. These must be transported to Mongolia within a year, but can it be convenient for the Northeast Army? ”

Zhang Xueliang's face changed slightly when he heard this, so many weapons and equipment can almost arm an army of 300,000, of course, Mongolia does not have so many strong men, but Wang Zhongyi can be recruited from the Northeast, what does the Kuomintang want to do this time? Either he wanted Wang Zhongyi to cooperate with the Kuomintang army to attack the north and south to destroy the middle G, or he wanted to invade the northeast......

Wang Zhongyi hugged his fist at Zhang Xueliang, and there was also a reluctant invitation below. ”

"General Wang, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhang Xueliang smiled and nodded.

Wang Zhongyi smiled and did not hide from General Hanqing, although the territory of Mongolia is quite large, it is too remote, and life is also hard. Naturally, we big men don't care...... But the children in the family can't bear it, aren't we men fighting outside just to let them enjoy Qingfu? So, I just want to settle my family in Harbin, is General Hanqing welcome? ”

This is to give Zhang Xueliang hostages to calm his heart, this trick is beautiful

After a long time, Zhang Xueliang's eyes just looked at Luo Yaoguo and Wang Zhongyi with a smile. The room was extremely quiet, and at the end, I heard Luo Yaoguo cough, nodded at Zhang Xueliang, and said with a smile At present, several shipyards in the south of our country have docks vacant, which can help the Northeast Army's Haiqi cruiser to refit...... The Haiqi is an old ship purchased from Britain in 1896 and has long been outdated. My idea is that if you don't change it, you have to completely reinvent it. The main gun of 203mm has been increased to four, and the power has also been changed to a diesel engine, so that the speed can also be increased a lot. In addition, anti-aircraft artillery should be added, and armor should be increased as appropriate. It is estimated that the displacement of the modified will also increase by about 2,000 tons, of course, the cost is completely free, but General Hanqing can be satisfied? ”

Zhang Xueliang clapped his hands, then Brother Fuwen, Brother Zhongyi, this time you will be involved in transporting arms into Mongolia. Our Northeast Army escorted the whole process, and we will not lose a single bullet or a rifle in our custody."
