[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 780: Ma Zheng's Worries (Ask for Subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

Ma Zheng, who was in Guisui, naturally did not know about Lao Chiang and the Japanese side's dirt, but the special department of Yan'an was very concerned about this, and soon the news that the Nationalist Government wanted to negotiate peace with the Japanese was very loud. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After receiving the relevant telegram from Yan'an, Ma Zheng was very conflicted. Historically, many peace talks between China and Japan ended in failure, until after the outbreak of the Pacific War. China and Japan also knew that there was no longer any need for peace talks between them, and the peace talks came to an abrupt end.

However, unlike in the past, the fact that China and Japan have not succeeded in peace talks in history does not mean that China and Japan will be like in history in this time and space. You must know that in history, Japan's national strength was significantly stronger than that of Japan today, and even if it did not hold peace talks with China, Japan would be able to hold on.

But now? As a result of Ma Zheng's military, foreign trade, and financial and monetary attacks, Japan's economic strength has declined very seriously, and it is a big cut behind history, so the Japanese side does have expectations for peace talks.

As for Lao Chiang, Ma Zheng didn't think that the bald head was a staunch anti-Japanese element at all, which can be clearly seen from Lao Chiang's anti-Japanese strategy.

There are many people who think that the Nationalist Government did not formulate an anti-Japanese strategy at all, but in fact this is a wrong idea, and the Nationalist Government formulated a corresponding strategy as early as when the Japanese army forcibly occupied the four eastern provinces, and we can completely analyze this from ****** Lushan's speech.

Lushan's speech is still worthy of affirmation, although it is subtle, but after all, he recognized the legal status of Yan'an. It has sent a signal that it will resist Japan or that it will no longer suppress it, which is worthy of recognition. But it's certainly the same thing, and some people tout it as "loud and sound", so you don't have to.

It can be seen from ****** Lushan's speech. The Lao Chiang regime certainly had an overall strategy of resisting Japan: First of all, Lao Chiang and his staff unanimously insisted that if they could not fight, they would not fight, and to put it better, they were vigorously pursuing peace, and this was very clear in his speech.

In the first part, it emphasized that "the Chinese nation is deeply interested in peace", and reiterated that "peace has not reached a period of fundamental despair, and we will never give up peace, and we will never make sacrifices lightly until the last moment". The third part once again states that "if it really comes to the last moment that can be avoided, of course we will only have sacrifice, only the war of resistance"; The fourth part once again emphasizes that "we still hope for peace one second before it is fundamentally hopeless"; In the end, he once again put forward that "we hope for peace, not for Gou An" -- the so-called "Gou An" should have been done by Wang Jingwei later, and this point is worthy of affirmation.

To put it bluntly, we can stop fighting or not, if we can spend some money or kowtow a few heads to get things done, that's the best. It's really forced to have no choice, so let's fight, everyone is knocking on the door, and they still have this kind of thought, can this be a staunch anti-Japanese element?

The second is to adhere to the anti-Japanese bottom line of not surrendering, since we are trying our best to "hope for peace", then whether to resist the war? His speech was also very clear, with the first part emphasizing the "last moment"; The second part further explains the meaning of "last moment": "If Lugou Bridge can be oppressed and forcibly occupied, then our century-old capital, the center of northern politics and culture and the military town of Beiping, will become the second in Shenyang!" Today's Beiping, if it becomes the former Shenyang, today's Jicha, will also become the former four eastern provinces. If Beiping can become Shenyang, Nanjing will not become Beiping! ”。

The meaning is clear: not Pu Yi. And the last sentence "We want peace, not peace" is also not Puyi's meaning.

Of course, he could not be Pu Yi, because the basis of the old Chiang clique was the Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebol clique under the support of Britain and the United States, and once it surrendered, the basis for the existence of its regime in the international community would be gone, and it would certainly be abandoned by the people of the whole country.

Then why is it said that the bottom line of the old Chiang regime is not to surrender? This can be seen from the strategy and performance of the Lao Chiang regime to resist Japan later. Its strategy is to "prepare for war, and never seek war", and its expression is that it only seeks peace in the form of regular political power, not to recover the country, and its bottom line is, of course, not to be Puyi!

Finally, it is necessary to adhere to the anti-Japanese strategy of "exchanging sovereignty for peace" and "never seeking war." Since he repeatedly expressed his "hope for peace" in his speech, it is very natural for him to emphasize the strategy of "preparing for war and never seeking war" at the end of his speech.

To this strategy, the phrase "sovereignty for peace" should be added. This can be illustrated from the previous treaties such as the "Tanggu Agreement" signed with Japan and the later performance of the Anti-Japanese War, and it can also be confirmed that the bottom line of its anti-Japanese resistance is "improper Puyi".

In the "Tanggu Agreement," the Japanese proposed that all the troops of the Nationalist Government should quickly withdraw to the areas west and south of the line connecting Yanqing, Changping, Gaoliying, Shunyi, Tongzhou, Xianghe, Baodi, Lintingkou, Ninghe, and Lutai. Thereafter, they shall not cross the line, and shall not engage in any act of challenge or disturbance; In order to confirm the implementation of the first paragraph, the Japanese military is constantly monitoring it by aircraft and other means, and the Chinese side should protect this and provide all kinds of convenience.

If it is confirmed that the Chinese side has complied with the first provision, the Japanese army will not cross the above line of retreat to continue the pursuit, and will automatically return to the line of Ayutthaya and south of the line of the Great Wall. and the maintenance of law and order in the areas north and east of the line indicated in Paragraph 1 shall be carried out by the Chinese police, and the above-mentioned police agencies shall not use armed groups that provoke the feelings of the Japanese army.

The content of this treaty is obvious to the trampling on China's sovereignty! But the old Chiang clique actually accepted it for the sake of "hoping for peace"! Therefore, the anti-Japanese strategy of the Lao Chiang regime was to "exchange sovereignty for peace" and "never seek war." Its purpose is to ensure the legitimacy of its regime in China, and most importantly, to be accepted and supported by the West.

So what! As long as the Japanese side does not undermine this point, sovereignty can be discussed or lost. Moreover, because he was afraid of pushing the Japanese side into a hurry and threatening his bottom line, he made every effort to compromise with the Japanese side.

Judging from the situation after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese side did not seek to eliminate the Lao Chiang regime, nor did it seek to replace it with the Wang Ching-wei regime. Rather, they are forced to surrender – because it is useful to stay!

The purpose of bombing Chongqing and other areas was here, the purpose of attacking Xue Yuebu was here, and after the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese base camp tried to limit the scale of each attack.

Later, the intention of focusing the offensive on the direction of Burma was clearly exposed: Didn't the old Chiang regime want to gain Western recognition and support? The Japanese side cut off the old Chiang regime from the West. Let the Western method support it, and the old Chiang regime may also surrender? It feels like there is still a tacit understanding between the two sides.

Lao Jiang's various performances made Ma Zheng very worried, what if Lao Jiang really made peace with Japan? Anti-Chiang anti-Japanese?

If he resists Chiang Kai-shek's resistance against Japan, then the anti-Japanese front of the whole nation will come to naught, and the rope that the Chinese have managed to condense will become a scattered sand, and then he will not only face pressure from the Japanese side, but also from the threat of the national government, and in the end it will only be the Japanese who will benefit.

But it was not enough to allow Lao Chiang to come into contact with the Japanese, and if an agreement was really reached between them, then the problem would be serious, and Japan would get a lot of benefits and then have time to recuperate. On the contrary, without external threats, China will return to the situation of warlord melee ten years ago, and when China's various "heroes" are almost consumed, the well-rested Japanese will appear again, and there will really be a danger of extinction of the country and the species.

Therefore, they could neither be allowed to negotiate peace, nor be anti-Chiang, so they could only continue to force Chiang to resist Japan!

However, "forcing Chiang to resist Japan" is not just talking, this is a hard work, and at the same time it is also a technical work, which is more difficult than "opposing Chiang Kai-shek's resistance to Japan"!

"Anti-Chiang and anti-Japanese" everyone can fight a tough battle, and if they win, they will naturally achieve their wishes. Forcing Chiang to resist Japan is different, it is necessary to exert force, but it is more dependent on brains.

Although the Nationalist Government is not very positive about the olive branch thrown by Japan, whether the two sides will reach a substantive agreement in the end depends entirely on what kind of bargaining chips Japan gives. If Japan is willing to give up some of its interests, the Nationalist Government is likely to make peace with Japan alone.

And judging from the current situation in Japan, is it completely acceptable to give up part of the benefits? (To be continued.) )
