Chiang Kai-shek can be said to be the real tumbler and the king of Chinese politics, for so many years only he has calculated others, basically no one has calculated, but he deliberately said that it is an absolute exception, and he has calculated the wise and martial Jiang Gong four times, so no matter what he does now, Chiang Kai-shek will feel that there is a conspiracy.

Moreover, I said that I took the initiative to spit out what I ate in my mouth? In Chiang Kai-shek's opinion, this is definitely not his style, because even if he eats a mouthful of, it is difficult for you to make it spit out, and this is an extremely distinct surname.

What worries Chiang Kai-shek the most is the mediation of the so-called League of Nations, before Nanjing was attacked by the army, the international community of the Nine-Nation Convention Organization was pretending to be deaf and dumb, and now he said that he was covered with corpses all over the city of Nanjing, and the attack on Rehe hit his head and broke the bloodstream, and the so-called Nine-Nation Convention Organization jumped out again to pull the bias?

The arms that were previously seized in Hong Kong have also been released one after another, and the military supplies that the British have paid in arrears to the Chinese political axe have also begun to be delivered one after another, and all countries in the world are watching this war, and no one wants to offend the strong, and no one minds bullying the weak, this is the biggest law of the world, and the most important things that are put in the rest of the conventions are only created for people to violate.

In fact, in such a world system where power is destined to have no justice, everything needs to be fought for by yourself, and it is not the deeds that measure justice, but the strength, and if you have enough strength as a backing support, all your actions will be just.

Chiang Kai-shek's concern was that he proposed the withdrawal route, Linyi is the most important strategic transportation gateway in Xuzhou, and the army should retreat from Linyi? And how many divisions are there as soon as you retreat? Chiang Kai-shek was not a strategic idiot, how could he not know how powerful it was? If it is said that the armistice negotiations for his retreat are false, and the false way to destroy the enemy is true, then Li Zongren's Fifth War Zone will be said to be covered with big dumplings.

So today Chiang Kai-shek summoned He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, and Li Zongren to the Luoyue Villa, wanting to hear their opinions and ideas, Chiang Kai-shek is not obstinate and self-righteous in many things, otherwise he will definitely not be able to go today, let alone have the status of Jiang as he is today, for the Zhang Xuewu in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek can be said to have used his brains and thoughts, for Chiang Kai-shek, internal worries are always fiercer than external troubles.

Wuhan is no less significant to the Republic of China than Nanjing, because on October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Uprising broke out in Wuchang, starting the first battle of the Xinhai Revolution! Wuhan is once the largest city in China, known as the Chicago of the East, ranking among the top in Asia, and Wuhan is the birthplace of the Republic of China and the capital of the first political capital.

However, the hot weather in Wuhan is not something that ordinary people can enjoy, especially in early July, Wuhan has entered the hot summer, in the south study of the Luoyue villa, the smiling Chiang Kai-shek greeted He Yingqin, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others: "Jingzhi, Delin, Jiansheng sit quickly, and drink some cold juice on a hot day."

The three anxious military and political officers and the chairman of the committee all looked light-hearted, so they had no choice but to sit down and taste the cold juice, although the juice was cold, but everyone's impatient mood was not something that this glass of cold juice could soothe.

The hot Wuhan stove and the restless mood, whether it is He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren, the mood at the moment is up and down, He Yingqin and others admire Chiang Kai-shek very much on such a hot day can still sit meticulously in a robe? Obviously, this requires a deep concentration and mentality.

Chiang Kai-shek saw that the three of them drank some juice, and he also drank a sip of cold boiled water, Chiang Kai-shek rarely drank alcohol, almost did not drink coffee and tea, but he had a soft spot for this cold boiled water.

Chiang Kai-shek hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "The purpose of inviting the three here today is to listen to your opinions, and now I am responding to the proposal of the Nine-Nation Convention Organization to set up a demilitarized zone in Nanjing, and I am also preparing to unilaterally withdraw my troops first, and now my negotiator, Chief of Staff and Field Marshal Prince Zairen, has arrived in Shanghai, and I have decided to send an armistice negotiation team over, what do you think?" ”

As soon as you heard about the armistice negotiations? He Yingqin felt that his head was suddenly big, because Chiang Kai-shek had just mentioned that Prince Zairen, the plenipotentiary representative of the negotiation on the other side, was the chief of staff, and among the people who came today, Li Zongren was the commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, and was now commanding a large number of miscellaneous troops who were preparing to fight with Yue himself in Xuzhou to relieve Chairman Chiang's burden and worries.

And Bai Chongxi is the deputy chief of staff, but he is the chief of staff, in terms of identity, Zairen is the prince of this book, he He Yingqin is a veteran of Whampoa, he is also a general in terms of military rank, and he is also the chief of staff in terms of position, even He Yingqin feels that there is no more suitable person than himself.

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at He Yingqin meaningfully, and He Yingqin stood up a little helplessly and said, "Take a seat!" I am willing to go, because although the Nine-Power Pact has no binding force on him, but for us it is a tight spell on Sun Wukong's head, and we cannot unilaterally close the door to a peaceful negotiation settlement, if I say that I have sincerity to negotiate a truce, I am afraid that even I do not believe in it, I am known for my lack of faith and righteousness, no matter what tricks and tricks I am ready to play, I think the negotiations are to be discussed, but during this period, we must seize the time to raise materials and train and dispatch the army, As a preparation for another full-scale war. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said, "Jingzhi said very much, very right!" I also think about it in this way, saying that my so-called withdrawal route is actually a disguised encirclement of the main force of our Fifth Theater in Xuzhou, and it can be said that my little trick is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it, we can't give me this opportunity, but we can't rashly refuse the mediation of the Nine-Power Pact, and Nanjing becoming a demilitarized zone is also very beneficial to our army, and this time I said that the conditions I put forward include the autonomy of North China and so on, except for Nanjing and Shanghai becoming a demilitarized zone, the rest will not be accepted. Now I am saying that I am fanning the flames in Europe because of the arms we received from the Soviet Union, and the German side is also cold to our country, which is what worries me the most! ”

Bai Chongxi glanced at Li Zongren beside him, and both of them breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time, since Chiang Kai-shek saw the trick of saying that he was trying to destroy the enemy, then they didn't have to worry about the superfluous people.

In the eyes of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, Chiang Kai-shek, like Zhang Xuewu, seems to rely too much on Germany? Since severing diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union for the first time in 1927, it seems that Chiang Kai-shek has set his sights on Germany, a Western European military power rising from the ruins of another World War. It can be said that in the past ten years, Chiang Kai-shek not only imported a large number of guns, ammunition, and military aid materials from Germany, but even directly introduced German military talents and war ideas, and by the time the war broke out, the German military advisers in China had reached nearly 10,000 people, and the elite Central Army and the first-level combat units of the Rehe Army battalion had been equipped with German advisers before, and these military advisers brought the rigor and regularization and specialization of the Germans into the Chinese army.

But relying too much on Germany will put China in a suppressed position, just as once Germany completely stops arms sales, then the few remaining German weapons troops in the Central Army will be in a dilemma, and the supply of Soviet weapons once again made Chiang Kai-shek see hope, Bai Chongxi is also very helpless about this, who let China have no ready-made industrial system? The Rehe side did use the equipment provided by the Soviet Union to make tanks, but these tanks were not supplied to the Central Army, and they were all equipped with the mechanized units of the Rehe Corps.

The reason of the Rehe Corps is that it lacks enough fuel and drivers to transport these trucks, which made the Supreme Military Council suddenly lose its voice, because the eighty Soviet-made TB-26 light tanks transferred by the Rehe Corps are still parked in the camp of the 200th Division in Wuhan, lacking well-trained armored troops and sufficient fuel, and the formation of the 200th Division seems to be far away, so even if the cars and tanks have arrived in Wuhan, Without logistical support, without sufficient fuel, and without well-trained crew members, these weapons will not be as effective as they should be.

Just like Li Zongren's Gui troops supplemented a batch of Soviet-made machine guns, the following complained, saying that it was too heavy and difficult to do, etc., but Bai Chongxi knew that the DP28 Degalyov light machine gun was finalized and manufactured by the Soviet Ordnance Bureau in 1927, and the following year it was officially installed as the main machine gun of the Soviet Red Army.

Its standard military code is DP machine gun, generally known as Deg Galev light machine gun, because the feed of the Deg Galev light machine gun is a large disc-shaped cartridge, and the Abbreviation of Deg Galev's surname is DP, so the Chinese people are used to calling it a rotary machine gun or Depp light machine gun.

In Bai Chongxi's opinion, the structure of the Deg Galev light machine gun is simple, the whole gun has only 65 parts, and the manufacturing process requirements are not high. The gun has a total length of more than 1,200 mm, a barrel length of 605 mm, four right-handed rifling in the barrel, and a Vulcan axis up to 270 mm. Compared with the DP28 Degalev Soviet-style light machine gun transported from Suiyuan, the troops equipped with [***] said that although the gun was very good, its weight was indeed a little too large, and it was difficult for ordinary soldiers to carry it on their backs, let alone charge and strafe the enemy on their bodies.
