Xiao Guodong continued: "At the same time, the puppet Mongolian political axe in the Soviet Union also issued a statement to the international community saying that the land demanded by the Soviet side, including the Tangnu-Ulianghai Republic, has never been under the jurisdiction of the Mongolian Republic, which has always been a reading country that has been invaded and colonized by the Manchu reactionary political axe, and the Mongolian political axe in exile fully supports the legitimate demand of the Soviet Union to recover the occupied territories. He also asked the Soviet army to enter Northern Mongolia and help the Mongolian people to lift the colonial rule of the Republic of China over Northern Mongolia. ”

"Blackmail, this is pure blackmail. This is Lao Maozi making a pretext for war. Zhang Yafei said hatefully.

Song Zhewu waved his hand calmly to stop Zhang Yafei, who was angry, and then looked at several other subordinates who were also emotional, and nodded and motioned for Xiao Guodong to continue.

Xiao Guodong turned around and took a telegram from a staff officer and said, "This is a call from Chairman Chiang of Nanjing. ”

"The Central Plains War has just ended, and the national economy and people's livelihood urgently need to be restored...... The government is temporarily unable to look north, and the situation in the north still needs to be maintained by Brother Wen Ge and his brother......"

He also said that he instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to actively liaise with the European and American powers with a view to exerting pressure on the Soviet Union through the League of Nations to stop the Soviet Union's aggression against our North Mongolia. We should be cautious in everything we do while actively preparing for war in Northern Mongolia and strictly guarding against the invasion of the Soviet army. ”

In addition, in order to prevent the Soviet army from blatantly invading in disregard of international justice, he ordered Sun Weiru's 17th Division under the 17th Route Army and Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army under the Jin Sui Army to temporarily be controlled by the Northern Frontier Governor's Office to enter Mongolia to prepare for war in case of accidents; The Nanjing Ordnance Industry Administration was ordered to coordinate all arsenals and the Northeast Army to actively raise ammunition and weapons for the needs of the Northern Mongolian War. ”

Xiao Guodong raised the telegram and said: "The meaning of Chairman Chiang's telegram must have been understood by everyone, that is, the central political axe is now unable to actively resist the invasion of the Soviet army in Northern Mongolia, and wants us not to expand the war. Once the fight starts, it will require our Fourth Route Army to support the situation in Northern Mongolia, and the support given by the central political axe will be very limited. ”

For such a result, Song Zhewu is still mentally prepared.

Sun Weiru's 17th Division was granted its wish to enter Northern Mongolia, which was the result of Yang Hucheng's telegram to Chiang Kai-shek.

Sure enough, as Yang Hucheng expected, Chiang Kai-shek not only immediately approved Yang Hucheng's request, but also allocated 300,000 oceans for the opening fee, and asked Sun Weiru's 17th Division to leave Gansu immediately and go north on the grounds of the urgent military situation in Northern Mongolia. As for Fu Zuoyi's ministry temporarily under the jurisdiction of Song Zhewu, this was Song Zhewu's inspiration from Yang Hucheng and personally requested Chiang Kai-shek.

Song Zhewu knew that Fu Zuoyi finally broke away from the Jin Sui Army and left Yan Xishan.

Fu Zuoyi left Yan Xishan, the main reason is that Yan Xishan does not trust Fu Zuoyi, especially the battle of Zhuozhou made Fu Zuoyi famous all over the world, and Yan Xishan was even more jealous, Yan Xishan never wanted his subordinates to be prominent, so that his "light" was a little dim in the Jin Sui army.

In addition, Yan Xishan is suspicious, cunning and cautious, and he is very strict with his subordinates, and if there is a slight change, Yan Xishan will kill the killer. Yan Xishan may be indecisive in other matters, but he has never hesitated in this regard, let alone been soft.

For example, the assassination of Li Shengda later. There is also after Fu Zuoyi did not listen to persuasion and prevented himself from acting without authorization, participated in the Great Wall War of Resistance, and won the victory of Bailing Temple, he did not hesitate to poison Fu Zuoyi to stabilize the 35th Army. Fortunately, under the mistake of yin and yang, Yang Xiaoou became Fu Zuoyi's substitute for the dead ghost, so that Fu Zuoyi completely separated from Yan Xishan from then on and threw himself into Nanjing.

If Fu Zuoyi is pulled into Beimeng first, and Fu Zuoyi's sense of belonging to the Fourth Route Army is increased, when Fu Zuoyi leaves Yan Xishan in the future, he may be able to recruit Fu Zuoyi, a handsome talent who can be completely independent, to his subordinates. With Fu Zuoyi, for Song Zhewu, who is strong and strong, it is like a tiger with wings.

At the same time, in order to be able to take Hebei into his own hands in the future, Song Zhewu also thought of taking this opportunity to transfer Song Zheyuan's 29th Army with him, so as not to show up that Song Zheyuan was almost unprepared at the beginning of the Hebei War of Resistance, which indirectly contributed to the Kwantung Army to provoke the Lugou Bridge Incident.

However, Song Zhewu did not just name Fu Zuoyi's department in Nanjing, but also hoped that Li Shengda's 72nd Division and Yang Xiaoou's 66th Division would also enter Mongolia together. In addition, he also named Li Fuying, who is now studying in the senior general officer class of the Central Army University in Nanjing, and Guo Zongfen, who is now the commander of the Yuncheng garrison, who has no troops after the reorganization of the Jin Sui Army.

The reason why Li Shengda, Yang Xiaoou, Li Fuying, and Guo Zongfen are wanted is because Song Zhewu is now in urgent need of senior generals, in addition to their outstanding military talents, the most important thing is that they either died at the hands of Yan Xishan in the end, or left Yan Xishan, they are not Yan Xishan's absolute henchmen, and they may all be used for their own purposes.

Therefore, Song Zhewu asked Fu Zuoyi, Li Shengda, Yang Xiaooubu, Li Fuying, Guo Zongfen, and the 29th Army of the Jin Sui Army to support the Northern Mongolian operation on the grounds that after the Taiyuan troops came to the north, he was afraid that the Jin Sui Army and the 29th Army would have a different idea, which would not be conducive to the stability of the north.

For some reason, Chiang Kai-shek, after telegraphing with Xu Yongchang, only agreed to Fu Zuoyi's troops to support Northern Mongolia, but did not say anything about the other members of the Jin Sui Army and the 29th Army.

Although Song Zhewu didn't know the details of the negotiation between the two, he could roughly think that Yan Xishan was doing the trick. However, since Fu Zuoyi can enter Beimeng, he has basically achieved his goal, and he has to let go of the other people of the Jin Sui Army and the 29th Army.

The contents of Chiang Kai-shek's telegram were indignant.

Wu Jin slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "It's just unreasonable, Lao Maozi has already knocked on the door, and we have to be cautious!" I don't think about how to drive Lao Maozi out, and I want us to endure humiliation and steal our lives, I really don't know how Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the national political axe, became a leader? ”

Of these senior generals in the war room, Pang Bingxun was the latest, although he could feel that the Fourth Route Army did not have too much respect for Chiang Kai-shek, but he was still a little surprised to call Chiang Kai-shek in front of Song Zhewu. Looking at it again, except for Song Zhewu and Xiao Guodong, everyone else was also full of anger, looking angry, thinking to themselves for a while, thinking about finding an opportunity to show their attitude.

Song Zhewu glanced at everyone, his eyes stayed on Pang Bingxun's face for a while intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a bitter voice: "Actually, what the chairman said is also the truth, now the north has been decided, although there are many local forces in the north, such as the Northeast Army, the Jin Sui Army, the Fourth Route Army, the Seventeenth Route Army and the Twenty-ninth Army of the Northwest Army, as well as Han Fuyu in Shandong, and many other local forces are fighting and containing each other, but no one will care about it, and they will not rest assured. It is common for local forces to merge and divide, and at this time, the central army must still maintain a certain amount of pressure on all sides. In this regard, Chairman Chiang also had a bitter voice. ”

"In the south, not only Li Zongren made the chairman uneasy, but also Guangdong and Fujian were also unstable. In particular, the Red Army in Jiangxi, Hubei, Henan, and Anhui made it even more difficult for the chairman to sleep. Don't forget, at the time of the Middle Road incident, the GCD shouted that it would defend the Soviet Union with arms. ”

"The armed forces of the GCD are much stronger now than they were then, and if they really want to act, they won't just shout slogans like last time. Moreover, as far as I know, those who are now in power in their Party Central Committee have all returned from the Soviet Union, and the instructions of the Comintern, which is controlled by the Soviet Union, are like a holy decree to them. In all these aspects, the Central Army is needed everywhere to deter or attack, and the Central Army really can't draw troops even with so many troops. ”

"Also, now that China is shrouded in a flood with a national surname, you should know that the affected areas of the country have reached 16 provinces, of which the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River basin in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan 8 provinces are extremely serious."

A report from Shanghai yesterday said that hundreds of people starved to death along the river because of the Wuhu flood, and many corpses flowed down the river. According to the statistics of the "Wuhu Flood Disaster Association" in Shanghai, there are more than 41,800 people in the disaster here, more than 4,400 people have died, and a total of 370,000 people are waiting for help, including 220,000 people who have lost their homes and lost their homes and homes due to the floods. ”

According to a survey by Jinling University, about 40 percent of the population in the affected areas is left in Jiangsu. According to this ratio, the total population of the surveyed disaster area is more than 25.2 million, and the number of people who have fled famine is at least 10 million. One-third of the people who fled the country found work, one fifth begged on the streets, and the rest were missing. In Shanghai, many of the people who fled to Hunan have mostly turned back, because Yancheng, Funing and other places have been flooded. The national government is no longer able to guarantee adequate disaster relief on a large scale. ”

Jiang Jianren, vice principal of the Jianqiao Aviation School in Hangzhou, who had just published "The History of Imperialist Aggression in China" at the Shanghai Modern Book Company, suggested that "5 million victims be moved to the northeast to reclaim the land." It was we who suggested to the central authorities that the victims be relocated to North Mongolia, and this was strongly supported by Chairman Chiang, who instructed all localities to actively cooperate with the Taiyuan Administration to relocate the victims to North Mongolia. ”

This is true in the affluent Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, but the situation is even worse in other places, where many people who lack food and clothing have to migrate. The Nanjing political axe is now going all out and is busy dealing with this flood of surnames across the country. The Ministry of Civil Affairs and Finance of Nanjing has issued the first batch of 30 million yuan of public bonds for disaster relief. The problem of winter clothing for hundreds of millions of disaster victims in various places is imminent, and the political axe began to rush to produce winter clothes at a rate of 10,000 sets per day, and the whole country solicited shabby clothes and shoes, which were disinfected and shipped to various places. ”

"This natural catastrophe in our country even alarmed the League of Nations. The League of Nations has adopted measures to help the floods in China, calling on "all member states and non-member states to work together to help the floods in China." "The Minister of Health of the League of Nations, Rasiman also made a special trip to China to assist in the post-flood sanitation and epidemic prevention work, and it is reported that he had just arrived in Nanjing, and stayed at the Soong Ziwen Mansion......
