Chapter 520: Chiang Kai-shek's Response

The entire military parade, after more than half an hour of split-style performances, ended smoothly in the stunned expressions of everyone. Although, as the secret weapon of the entire military parade, the five planes of the air force force, with a huge whistling sound, had already flown out of everyone's field of vision and disappeared into the vast sky. However, the entire parade ground was still in a state of enthusiasm and shock ....

In the dense crowd of people in the viewing area, a slogan that shook the sky reached everyone's ears from time to time. However, to the surprise and shock of more than 100 bidders participating in the parade on the rostrum, the slogans at this moment have completely changed their taste....

"Long live China, long live the Eighth Route Army..."In everyone's shocked eyes, this kind of slogan of supporting [***] and supporting the Eighth Route Army reached the ears of everyone at the venue one after another. Feeling the warm atmosphere of the tens of thousands of people at the venue, on the rostrum, those representatives of the Kuomintang Central Committee headed by He Yingqin can be said to have changed their faces greatly. On the one hand, I was shocked by the military appearance and strong strength displayed by the Eighth Route Army and the various heavy equipment possessed by the troops during the military parade just now, and on the other hand, I was deeply worried about the strong public opinion that the Eighth Route Army had in Shanxi after this military parade. Because, at this moment, in the eyes of the people of Shanxi, they have completely forgotten the national political axe that ruled them a few years ago, and forgot Yan Xishan, the king of Shanxi a few years ago....Thinking of this, He Yingqin, who had a dark color on his face, couldn't help but look at the chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou, who were only a few meters away from him.

"Chief He, the people here are so enthusiastic, we can't stop it. However, these slogans and the common people were not specially arranged by our Eighth Route Army, they were all spontaneous by the surrounding people, and I hope that General Chief He will not misunderstand. During the next Anti-Japanese War, our Eighth Route Army absolutely obeyed the call of Chairman Jiang of the Central Political Axe, obeyed the command of the Central Political Axe, and fought bravely to kill the enemy in the rear...."Seeing He Yingqin's increasingly ugly face, although the chairman at this moment no longer needs to be afraid of the Central Political Axe of the Kuomintang. However, still replied with a smile to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings due to it....

Of course, although He Yingqin didn't believe much of the chairman's answer, he could only shake his head helplessly. At the same time, for this moment, [***] scruples, it is even deeper... Unlike the representatives of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, the faces of the representatives of the local warlords had different looks. Feeling the warm atmosphere of the people around them, and the real strength of the Eighth Route Army displayed by the guide in the military parade just now, these representatives immediately showed shock, envy, and even jealousy on their faces. At this moment, the only thought in their minds is to send a report to their commander at the first time, asking their commander to change their attitude towards the [***] Eighth Route Army....

In any case, just after the commander-in-chief Liu Hua announced the official end of the military parade, all the deputies and the various units participating in the parade began to leave the venue in turn....and the entire military parade also saw from the faces of the more than 100 deputies that the parade was a complete success.

In the face of the grand military parade held in Taiyuan, Shanxi, early the next morning, various newspapers in China reported to the people the specific details of the military parade held in Taiyuan by the troops of the Eighth Route Army in North China through newspapers at the first time. An article: "With such a majestic elite division, why worry about the immortality of the Kou, why worry about the invincibility of the War of Resistance....""The Eighth Route Army, with its own strength, with its own achievements, showed its own style to the people....""Compatriots, look at the mighty and majestic Eighth Route Army, come with me, go north to North China, participate in the Eighth Route Army, and fight devils....""The Eighth Route Army, a heroic division active in the rear of Yue, after several years of development, finally showed his huge achievements and strength to the world" "With strength and achievements, Show your own style to the Chinese people...""From the military parade, compare the specific achievements of the [***] troops and the Eighth Route Army..."... Newspapers praising the Eighth Route Army and publicizing the achievements of the Eighth Route Army in the past few years began to appear in the streets and alleys of cities across the country.

At the same time, at this moment, the topics that the Chinese people are most concerned about have all shifted to the troops of the Eighth Route Army located in the rear of the enemy. For a time, the entire Eighth Route Army and the whole of China, because of this successful military parade, were immediately elevated to the same status as the central political axe of the Kuomintang in Yucheng.

"Niang Xipi, what the hell is going on. Who gave them these rights, let them hype up the Eighth Route Army in the newspapers. Yunong, what is your intelligence department doing to eat, why don't you just nip these things that are unfavorable to the party and the state in the bud...."Looking at the stack of newspapers that the attendant had just sent over in his hand, and seeing the stacked covers of the newspapers, without exception, it was not propaganda for the Eighth Route Army, the military parade just held by the Eighth Route Army, and the past achievements of the Eighth Route Army. What's more, some newspapers directly compared the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army with the achievements of the party-state... Looking at the praise of the Eighth Route Army in the newspaper and the criticism of the central political axe, Chiang Kai-shek, as the chairman of the committee, felt as if he had been slapped hard by someone else, with a flushed face, and scolded loudly at several henchmen in front of him....

"Report to the chairman, most of these newspapers are newspapers backed by foreign forces, and without your consent, our military commanders have no right to seize them. As for the rest of the newspapers, they are directly controlled by the [***] people, and we can't control them at all. However, I can guarantee that as long as it is a newspaper controlled by the party-state, there will be absolutely no such news...."Looking at Chiang Kai-shek with an angry face in front of him, Dai Li, who was criticized by Chiang Kai-shek, quickly replied.

"Niang Xipi, these traitors, relying on the support of foreigners, even disobeyed the orders of the central political axe, bastard. And [***], what do they want to do, regardless of the face of the central political axe, to raise their prestige so high, do they want to re-establish a new political axe, where did they put me, the chairman. What about Jingzhi, Jingzhi went to negotiate with them, and hasn't talked about any results yet? Chiang Kai-shek asked with an angry face....

However, just as Chiang Kai-shek's words were finished, Chen Cheng and Dai Li didn't know how to answer, an attendant pushed open the door of Chiang Kai-shek's office, and then, with a telegram, hurriedly walked into Chiang Kai-shek's office, and said anxiously..."Quick, send me the telegram, and see how the negotiations between Jing Zhihe and [***] are going?" Hearing He Yingqin's telegram, Chiang Kai-shek immediately calmed the anger in his heart and said eagerly... However, in less than a minute, the telegram that had just been handed to Chiang Kai-shek by the attendant officer was torn to pieces by Chiang Kai-shek himself. As for Chiang Kai-shek's own face, it was also flushed red because of the content of the telegram.

"Chairman, what's wrong?" Seeing Chiang Kai-shek with an angry face in front of him, Dai Li asked with a worried face.

"What's going on? It's not this [***], he actually asked the central political axe to apologize for the incident in southern Anhui a few days ago, and also demanded autonomy over their so-called base areas, and more importantly, [***] actually demanded that he have the autonomy of reading power over the two armies of the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army. These demands, where did they put the central political axe, and did this division of the people mean to set up another political axe? Chiang Kai-shek slammed the table in front of him and said angrily...

At this moment, Dai Li and Chen Cheng already knew the content of the entire telegram from the subscript in the hands of the attendant. Seeing Chiang Kai-shek, whose face was still very ugly in front of him, Chen Cheng opened his mouth and said....

"Chairman, your body is important, please don't be angry. These treaties look bad for the party-state, though. However, as far as the actual situation is concerned, even without this treaty, the central political axe does not have any prestige in the area controlled by the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines. The command of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army also did not have any rights. Now, just putting these things on paper is nothing to lose for the party-state. However, the Eighth Route Army promised the Central Political Axe in the treaty that the total strength of the Eighth Route Army in North China would be reduced from nearly one million to 500,000 troops, which would be of great benefit to the party-state. After all, the fewer troops they have, the greater the benefit to us. As for the military expenditure of the millions, compared with the 500,000 troops, there is no comparable surname at all, please think twice..."

"Niang Xipi, said that I, [***], are a group of wolves that eat meat and do not spit out bones. Call Keiyuki back immediately and get him to agree to [***]'s terms. However, with regard to the proposal of the [***] Industrial Party to reduce the million-strong army in North China to 500,000 troops, the central political axe must send a certain number of military observers to urge [***] to achieve this goal without hesitation. This time, no matter what, we can't raise tigers again...."Chiang Kai-shek ordered.

"Yes, Chairman....", the attendant hurriedly left the office, ready to send a report. Dai Li, as well as Chiang Kai-shek, continued to study how to deal with the momentum of the Eighth Route Army under the propaganda of various newspapers, and how to suppress this momentum....

However, more than 10 minutes passed, and after more than 10 minutes of discussion, the only way that several people discussed was to force those foreign newspapers to stop their propaganda against the Eighth Route Army through various light and dark means, and they could not be angry with those foreign forces. At the same time, it is also necessary to use all the propaganda departments controlled by the central political axe to hype up the various achievements of the [***] troops in the past few years to divert the attention of the people, so as to play a role in suppressing [***].

"Dai Li, let those disobedient newspapers stop the propaganda of the [***] Eighth Route Army, and leave it to you to finish...... As for the achievements of the propaganda [***] troops over the past few years, now that I am not here, this task will be handed over to you. After going down, summarize all the achievements of the [***] troops in the past few years, and let the newspapers publicize them well, so as to enhance the status of the [***] troops in the eyes of the people......" Chiang Kai-shek finally ordered....

"Please rest assured that the chairman of the committee will complete the task and live up to the trust of the chairman.," the two replied with a salute at the same time. Prepare to leave Chiang Kai-shek's office and carry out separate operations. However, just as the two of them turned around and were about to leave, there was another banging on the door of Chiang Kai-shek's office.

"Come in" As Chiang Kai-shek's tired voice sounded in the office, the door of the office was quickly pushed open, followed by an attendant officer holding a telegram, hurriedly walked into the office, and stood in front of Chiang Kai-shek.

"Report to the chairman, [***] has just sent a statement to the whole nation through the radio, using the clear code telegram. In response to the propaganda of the newspapers in various places this morning, a statement was issued to the compatriots of the whole country and the people of the world...."Under the puzzled gaze of Chiang Kai-shek, the attendant officer hurriedly replied.

"What, [***] issued a statement to the countrymen. [***] and what kind of scheming do you want to play. Just in front of the party-state, he took such a big advantage, and now what do you want to do. Read, I want to see today what kind of statement this [***] can make in response to today's newspaper..."Chiang Kai-shek said angrily. At the same time, Dai Li and Chen Cheng, who heard the words of [***] statement, also stopped and stood in front of Chiang Kai-shek again.

"Yes, Chairman. [***][***] has just issued a statement, calling on people with lofty ideals throughout the country to enthusiastically participate in the troops of the Eighth Route Army to resist the invasion of the invaders, drive the invaders out of China, restore the integrity of the land of China, and eliminate all the invaders who dare to resist stubbornly on the land of China...."It took five minutes for the attendant to read out a telegram statement of 1,000 words in his hand, and then stood in place without saying a word, waiting for the response of Chairman Chiang in front of him.

"Niang Xipi, this is simply a naked threat, what does this [***] want to do, ask for so many talents from the party-state, and even call on young people to join the Eighth Route Army... Why do you want to fight devils and go to North China to join the Eighth Route Army, isn't the [***] unit a unit that fights devils, this is simply slander....You immediately call back [***][***] in Taiyuan with the order of the Military Commission, asking him to immediately withdraw the power he just received. Chiang Kai-shek replied with an angry face.

"Yes, Chairman," replied the chamberlain in a loud voice, turning and rushing out of the office...", as you can see, [***] people are simply too deceitful. Although they have not made it clear that they will oppose the party-state in the future. However, from their electrification, we can clearly see the ambition of [***][***]. Therefore, from now on, the strategic goals of the party-state should also be appropriately changed. Otherwise, one day, [***] will become a more terrible enemy of the party-state than himself...."Looking at the departing attendants, Chiang Kai-shek said meaningfully to the two confidants in front of him..."Chairman, do you mean that from now on, [***] will be regarded as the enemy who poses the greatest threat to the party-state besides himself?" Dai Li replied: "Yes, now the strength of the regular army has grown to 500,000 people, plus countless local armed forces in North China. When the time comes, after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan, you say, with such a huge strength in the hands of the [***] people, will they still obey the rule of the central political axe? So, we have to set it up in advance. Especially your intelligence department, this time [***] didn't [***] ask the central government to support a group of intellectuals, this is a very good opportunity for our intelligence department to break into [***]..."Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and reminded Dai Li in front of him..."Yes, chairman, I understand my humble position." I must do my best to penetrate our intelligence personnel into the interior of [***] people, especially the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army, which poses the greatest threat to the party-state, and we must find out the specific movements of this force at the first time..."Dai Lian nodded in response.

"Very good, you do things, I am still very relieved. The following is the resignation, you, immediately in the name of the Military Commission, plus in my name, sent a secret telegram to all the troops, asking the [***] departments to curb the development of the [***] people as much as possible in the future battles. At the same time, order the [***] troops around North China to carry out an economic blockade of a series of areas controlled by the Eighth Route Army, and suppress their development speed through economic and other means...."Chiang Kai-shek turned his head to look at Chen Cheng on the other side, and then ordered.

"Please rest assured, the humble post will not disappoint your expectations..."Facing Chiang Kai-shek's expectant gaze, Chen Cheng, as Chiang Kai-shek's best student, did not hesitate and assured loudly.

"Well, and what I just explained, don't forget. This time, from now on, we will be in terms of public opinion, military, and military supplies. In a word, enter all our possibilities, suppress the development of the Eighth Route Army, restrain the expansion of their base areas, and finally achieve the goal of weakening their strength...."Chiang Kai-shek nodded affirmatively and said, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Yes, commission, the humble position will definitely live up to your expectations, please rest assured..."Chen Cheng replied with a salute.

"Very well, you two, worthy of my favorite students. I believe that after the task is completed, the two of you will definitely become the heroes of the past, and when the time comes, you will not forget the merits of the two of you. Okay, let's go down, I've been through so much today, I'm tired too, and I want to take a good rest. In the next time, if there is nothing to take the initiative to do, don't bother me, just discuss it with the two of you..."Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand, glanced at the two henchmen in front of him with satisfaction, and said with a tired face.
