"Once the Japanese invade, of course, our party will stand on the front line of the War of Resistance against Japan without hesitation" Mao ZD's eyes flashed a glimmer of light, hehe sneered at the banner of resisting Japan and saving the country, we must firmly grasp it, and we must also undertake the arduous and glorious mission of leading the whole nation to resist Japan...... We must also go to the front under the leadership of the anti-Japanese national united front, and this is what we must insist on. In this regard, we must unite all democratic personages, national capitalists, and patriotic generals of the Kuomintang to fight against the Kuomintang reactionaries, and at the same time, we must also step up the work of propaganda in public opinion, propagate to the workers, students, intellectuals, and petty bourgeoisie in the south our policy of resisting Japan, saving the country, and peaceful reunification, and unite all forces that can be united."

Zhou Elai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately realized that the Japanese invasion of the Northeast was not only a challenge for China G, but also a huge opportunity, as long as he firmly grasped this opportunity, the passive situation after the defeat of the Battle of Taiyuan could be completely reversed. He turned his mind slightly, and said with a smile, Hao Runzhi is really worthy of Zhuge Kongming of our party, it's just ...... The Kuomintang is now strong and strong, and if they rely on the strength of their army purely from a military point of view, they may be able to defeat Japan alone without our help, right? There are not many words, if they propose to go north alone to resist Japan and not join our anti-Japanese national united front, then how should we respond? At that time, most of the democrats, national capitalists, and patriotic generals of the Kuomintang will be deceived by them, right? No less words"

Mao ZD smiled, and waved his hand indifferently, they didn't dare to hand over their backs to us. Although the Kuomintang army was strong, it was necessary to dispatch hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops to defeat Japan in the northeast. However, the Kuomintang army had a lot of heavy weapons and equipment, and the logistical pressure was extremely high when it started a war. How dare they let their logistics line be in our hands? In case of...... Japan landed in Tianjin, and we couldn't stop it...... Their hundreds of thousands of troops are hanging alone, and their logistics are cut off, and they are afraid that they will use it to maintain the reactionary rule of the south when the whole army is wiped out? ”

Zhou Elai was quiet, but what if the Kuomintang proposed to send troops along the Tianjin-Pudong Railway to protect the logistics line? ”

"Then we can't agree" Mao ZD's tone was extremely firm, but the look on his face was very relaxed, if we let them enter along the Jinpu line, when the Japanese devils are finished, will they still be willing to quit? It is only natural for us to reject it, and the people of the whole country and patriotic democrats will certainly support us."

Speaking of which, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhou E coming to E...... The Northeast is the key to the success or failure of our business, so it must be recovered by us. ”

Zhou Elai nodded and shook his head, get the Northeast, plus Guannei's Zhili, Chahar, Suiyuan, Northern Shaanxi, Northern Jin, and Northern Lubei, we will be invincible, but with our current strength, even if the Kuomintang does not come to pull our hind legs, I am afraid that we will not have the strength to defeat Japanese imperialism and recover Northeast China, right? No less words"

Mao ZD took a sharp puff of cigarette, nodded with a smile, so we must adhere to the anti-Japanese national united front and unite the strength of the whole country to participate in this nationwide holy war...... If they are not willing to send troops to the Northeast to participate in the War of Resistance, then it is always no problem to provide us with some weapons and ammunition for us to fight the Japanese invaders with blood and sacrifice, right? If they don't agree, the people of the whole country will have to see through their fake anti-Japanese and real civil war."

Zhou Elai listened excitedly, stood up suddenly, walked a few steps, and stood in front of the large military map hanging on the wall. Looking at the red arrows and small needles in the southern part of Zhili and the northern part of Lubei on the map, he nodded lightly We will do this, and now reach an armistice agreement with the Kuomintang as soon as possible, and Shanxi will be bounded by the Xinkou line. In this way, the Northeast Army can be freed from the southern front, and then transferred back to Guanwai, so that they can compete with the Japanese first......"

……

August 15, 1930.

Prime Minister's Residence, Kasumigaseki, Tokyo, Japan.

Dark clouds piled up in the sky, bursts of muffled thunder rolled through the clouds, and the typhoon blowing from the sea became stronger and stronger. A strong wind blew into Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi's study, making a ping-pong noise through the windows. The servants rushed in to close the window, but were stopped by the prime minister, who had deep eyebrows and a gloomy face.

"Let the wind blow in, hopefully it will wake Japan ......up from this dream," Hamaguchi said in an old, hoarse voice.

All that answered him was a somewhat angry voice, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, who had rejected the last of the Empire's goodwill, and now the Empire had no choice but to fight to the end."

Hamaguchi glanced at the leaders of the Japanese Army and Navy sitting across from him with a cold gaze, and slammed the mess on the desk and pushed it all to the ground. The crackling sound scared everyone's hearts to a beat. At this moment, it seems that the former "lion prime minister" is again

"The empire has not sunk by land, the empire still has North Korea, Taiwan, and the East even if China rises and becomes strong...... The European and American powers will also support us to contain China, and the Soviet Union will also form an alliance with us. The empire has not yet reached the point where it is going to be desperate"

His voice was a little excited, a little like a roar, a little like a pleading. But the four men sitting across from him were indifferent. Suzuki Shoroku, Chief of the General Staff of the Army, was the first to stand up, bowed his head slightly, and saluted Your Excellency This time, after careful planning by the Army, it is absolutely foolproof Now the main force of the Northeast Army in China is still in the Guannai, and the GCD, which rules Beijing, has suffered heavy losses in the previous Battle of Taiyuan, and is temporarily unable to go north. Therefore, I beg your Excellency to order the immediate implementation of mobilization...... The Kwantung Army will launch an incident before the Northeast Army returns to its division, and at that time it will need strong domestic support in order to pacify Manchuria as soon as possible."

"I beg Your Excellency to order the mobilization of the army and navy" The other three army and navy generals in the room also stood up and echoed loudly, and everyone saluted and bowed their heads, even with tears streaming down their eyes. However, looking at Hamaguchi's eyes, it was extremely cold, and the Japanese army and navy under his eyes were already directly led by the emperor, and they could act without orders from the cabinet. The reason why I asked Hamaguchi Yuyuki to give the order today was just a trick to avoid the emperor from taking responsibility.

There was a flash of lightning in the dark clouds on the horizon, which instantly illuminated the gloomy room, so people's faces looked so hideous and gloomy.

Hamaguchi looked at these soldiers coldly, and said lightly, forget it...... It's time to wake up. Neither the Kuomintang nor the GCD in China would sit idly by and watch Manchuria fall into the hands of the Empire. At that time, the empire in Manchuria will fall into an abyss from which it will be difficult to extricate itself. ”

With a snap, War Minister Yoshinori Shirakawa slammed the table and roared angrily: Now is the last chance for the empire to rise to become the hegemon of East Asia, and it is also the last chance for us to realize the dream of the Yamato nation for thousands of years...... In the future, what face will we have to face the Meiji sages, what face will we have to meet those heroes who have become gods for the rise of the empire, and what face will we have to face the 70 million citizens of the empire, who are diligent and frugal, and take out the last copper plate to arm the navy and army, not let us do nothing" Speaking of this, Shirakawa straightened his waist and looked at Hamaguchi with contempt This is also what Your Majesty means, as courtiers, we can only do not hesitate to break our bones, but also to fulfill His Majesty's instructions"

At this time, Hamaguchi's body had already collapsed, and there was no luster in his eyes. Now that Shirakawa Yoshinori has made his words clear, how can Hamaguchi, as a human minister, have a way? Do you really want to go to the palace to confront Emperor Hirohito face to face? Did he ever make such an irresponsible decree? Hamaguchi didn't dare to fake the holy decree by a few army and navy generals in front of him...... That kind of thing is done by the big guys, and when you become a general, you won't have so much courage......

Hamaguchi Yuyuki just looked coldly at the four army and navy leaders who had gone crazy.

Outside the window, the rain was pouring down.

But after a long time, Hamaguchi Yuyuki smiled bitterly and nodded, Okay, let's mobilize...... All seventeen permanent divisions and regiments were mobilized, and the navy also began to mobilize, so it was all right? No less words"

The four admirals of the Japanese army and navy all exhaled softly, stood up straight again, and pretended to salute Lizheng. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Hamaguchi's old and tired voice rang out again...... Planning to get your hands dirty? ”

Hearing that Prime Minister Hamaguchi did not want to oppose the Kwantung Army, Shirakawa Yoshinori's face flashed with a little joy, and he smiled and said that the initial plan was to start in September, and the specific number has not yet been decided. ”

"For September?"

Shirakawa said with a smile that the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the GCD were expected to be reached in September, and the Northeast Army would be withdrawn to Guanwai later. In addition, if we had moved in Manchuria in September, the Kuomintang army would have to go north. There should also be a process of preparation and negotiation with the GCD, which will take at least two or three months. At that time, the climate in the northeast was unusually cold, and most of the Kuomintang troops were southerners, and it was difficult for them to adapt to such cold weather. ”

Hamaguchi nodded slowly, and there was a little more smile on his face. And how do you plan to deal with the aftermath? ”

Shirakawa and Suzuki Shoroku looked at each other, and said with a smile that there have already been complete arrangements in this regard, when the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi, will come to power in Manchuria, and there will also be our internal response in the Northeast Army, and they will fire the first shot when the time comes. In short, everything will look like a restoration of Manchu power, and the empire is only providing assistance, so it can be accounted for internationally. ”

……

The capital of Mobei Mongolia, Kulen.

It's August, the golden season of the Mongolian Plateau, the sun is shining, the wind is warming, and the whole land is covered with a thick layer of meadows. A warm breeze blows, and you can vaguely see herds of cattle and sheep in the grass, like a grassland style painting.

After a flight of more than ten hours, Luo Yaoguo's special plane finally arrived in Mongolia and landed safely at Zhongyi Airport outside Kulen.

Although it is still a period of "civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party", the development of the situation in Northeast China has reached a point where it brooks no delay. Luo Yaoguo also had to take the risk of crossing the airspace of China G, but fortunately he did not encounter the interception of the legendary G Air Force. Maybe they didn't have a single of the latest Junkers flying through their airspace? There are not many words, after all, radar has not yet been invented.

The 38-seater Junkers J38 large passenger plane docked steadily on the airport runway after a violent jolt. Outside the plane, on the flat ground outside the runway of the airport, a group of honor guards wearing blue-gray military uniforms and carrying 13 rifles with bayonets were lined up neatly. Seeing the door of the plane wide open, the officers in front of the queue shouted a password, and all the officers and soldiers stood straight and solemn, without squinting. At the same time, the majestic military music also whimpered.

The high-ranking officials of the Mongolian Seventh Route Army, Wang Zhongyi, Tang Yao, Lin Yurong and others, and the governor of Mongolian Province, Zhang Jia Huofo, all arrived at the airport to greet them. Seeing Luo Yaoguo striding down the gangway, Wang Zhongyi also hurriedly took a few steps forward, a pair of rough and powerful hands and Luo Yaoguo's hands were tightly held together The third brother, welcome to Mongolia, now is the best season in this northern grassland, I will definitely like this land. ”

Luo Yaoguo also had a gentle smile Mongolia can have such prosperity as it is now, all because of the big brother's governance, a few years ago, when this Mongolia was in the hands of Choibalsan, it was a depressed scene. The two walked side by side, talking, to a few small black cars not far away.

As soon as he got into the car, Luo Yaoguo's expression became solemn, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he sighed softly Big brother, according to the exact intelligence, the Japanese will attack in the Northeast next month, and now what is the preparation of the Seventh Route Army? Can we go east to Heilongjiang as planned? ”

Wang Zhongyi hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, Those Japanese are really so ignorant of life and death? Shandong hasn't had enough of the suffering? So soon to get started? ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled reluctantly, looked at Wang Zhongyi, who was a little surprised, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. It seems that it is necessary to venture to Mongolia, and this big brother does not seem to be really going to do anything in the northeast, but he is afraid that his 50,000 army is not very prepared, right? There are no many words, and he has tried his best to deliver weapons and ammunition to him over the years......

"We can let the Japanese suffer in Shandong, it does not mean that we can defeat them in the Northeast," Luo Yaoguo explained in a calm voice, the Japanese have worked hard in the Northeast for more than 20 years, and the foundation is not ordinarily deep. As far as I know, there are quite a few people in the Northeast Army who are Japanese spies, and these spies will be launched first next month, and the Japanese will help each other openly and covertly. The little troops that Zhang Xueliang left outside the pass were afraid that they would be reduced to nothing in an instant. Luo Yaoguo looked at the vast grassland that was rapidly retreating outside the window, sighed softly, and lost something to gain......

Wang Zhongyi nodded silently, and he didn't understand the deep meaning of Luo Yaoguo's words. Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, big brother, I have prepared weapons and ammunition for you, and the army has been training for many years, all for the events of next month. When the time comes, as soon as the Japanese and the spies in the Northeast Army take action, the situation in the Northeast will definitely be in chaos. Zhang Xueliang's forces in the Northeast are vulnerable, you must not let go of this foundation"

Wang Zhongyi was stunned when he heard this, and lowered his voice Third brother, what do you mean is that if Zhang Xueliang's forces left in Heilongjiang do not obey, they will also be given to ......"

Luo Yaoguo sneered, this situation should not appear, and it is Jiang Dengxuan who is guarding Heilongjiang for Zhang Xueliang at the moment. He had 30,000 troops under his command and was the foundation of the Northeast Frontier Army. However, this person is a non-commissioned officer, and he is in the same group as Yang Yuting, and he has a close relationship with Zeng Qi. This time I will ask Zeng Qi to do his work, Yang Yuting I have also sent someone to lobby, if I can have a letter from him, Heilongjiang is estimated to be able to fall into the hands of you and me without blood."

"What does the third brother mean...... The National ** Army also wants to send people? When Wang Zhongyi heard the words "you and me", his face suddenly sank.

"No" Luo Yaoguo glanced at the "big brother", and smiled faintly The Northeast is not as good as Mongolia, the Northeast is the foundation of the king's hegemony, and it is naturally impossible for our Kuomintang to ignore it. This time, we will send a group of elites to Heilongjiang to organize the 25th and 26th divisions of the National ** Army on the spot. They will join your Seventh Route Army, Jiang Dengxuan's Northeast Army, to form the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army. The commander-in-chief is you, Jiang Deng is elected as the deputy, the chairman of Heilongjiang Province can be given to Yang Yuting, and the chief of staff is dispatched by the General Staff of the National ** Army. In addition, the National Government will also provide funding for the Anti-Japanese Federation. ”

Wang Zhongyi nodded noncommittally, he had money, guns, and officers, and Luo Yaoguo had prepared everything an army needed for him. This kind of treatment can be described as a righteous thin cloud, if you kick your nose in the face again, I am afraid that it will be intolerable. Thinking of this, he slapped his thigh and said loudly, Okay, I'll give the order to gather the army. Of the ten brigades of my Seventh Route Army, two of them were left to look after their families in Mongolia, and the remaining eight all went eastward, a total of 40,000 troops, as well as the weapons and ammunition that you have brought us in one after another over the years, are now also stored in Kulen, and this time we will also take them to Manchuria together, and when we get there, we will expand the army, set up a resistance alliance, and have a good fight with little Japan."

Luo Yaoguo sighed lightly, smiled and nodded. This trip to Mongolia seems to have not come in vain, so I coaxed this Mongolian king to agree to go east to resist Japan, now it depends on Zeng Qi's sharp mouth to say that Yang Yuting and Jiang Dengxuan "betrayed" Zhang Xueliang, as long as they are willing to join the "Anti-Japanese Federation", the situation in the Northeast will be in flames......
