"Commission, Taiyuan...... Surrounded by Army G......"

In the office of the chairman of the Wuhan Military Commission, there was a circle of generals and colonels in straight uniforms. Zhu Peide, vice minister of the Ministry of the Army, stood at the forefront, led by him, and a number of civil and military officials, Gu Zhutong, Liu Zhi, Zhang Zhizhong, Qian Dajun, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Jiji, Chen Lifu, and Chen Bui...... These important ministers of the party and the state, without exception, are all Chiang Kai-shek's confidants, and everyone has a solemn face and seems to be preoccupied. If Luo Yaoguo saw this scene, he would definitely think that he had traveled back to the original time and space, and the Kuomintang was in turmoil in the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party

Chiang Kai-shek's face is blue and dark, he has been a little thin these days, but compared to him at this time in history, he is still a lot fatter, and it is estimated that he has done less to do bad things, so he can always sleep well at night, right? Without a word, he stood straight on the wall, in front of a large newly hung military map. His brows furrowed tightly, and he didn't say a word.

However, after a long time, Zhu Peide, who was standing with a little cramp in his legs, stepped forward and asked again in a low and tentative voice, the G Army has now transferred the Eighth Route Army to Shanxi, and the five Route Army, fifteen infantry divisions, and one artillery division have been concentrated around Taiyuan, and the 11th Division, which has a total strength of more than 200,000 Chen Cixiu, is afraid that it will not be able to take it......"

Chiang Kai-shek sighed, it seemed that he was a little distracted, he didn't fight, they wanted to starve Yan Baichuan's hundreds of thousands of troops? ”

"The current reserves in Taiyuan City are still enough, General Yan Baichuan said in the telegram that they are enough to support more than half a year, and in my opinion, I am afraid that they can survive in a year. Zhong G wants to take Taiyuan by starvation, but I am afraid that it will be in vain. The problem now is that we have too few troops in Shanxi......"

Zhu Peide frowned and informed Chiang Kai-shek of the information he had just received. At present, the Kuomintang army has only 50,000 troops in Shanxi, and only Chen Cheng's 11th Division is on the front line, with only 25,000 men. It is undoubtedly wishful thinking to rely on this amount of troops to inflict heavy losses on the 200,000 soldiers of China G.

"Bench, look at this, why don't you forget it? No less words"

Chiang Kai-shek glanced back at Zhu Peide, and said coldly with a gloomy face, one division is not enough, so find a way to transfer again."

He paced in the room with his hands behind his back, his face was slightly softened, and the G Army was besieging the city, what is the crime of the people of Taiyuan City? Going to starve with you? Maybe we will starve people to death, and our national government can allow such a human tragedy to appear on Chinese soil, don't you think? ”

Zhu Peide was slightly stunned when he heard this, and before he could comprehend Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, Chen Lifu behind him had already stepped forward and replied loudly: Of course we can't agree to this kind of thing, we can't ask about their grievances with Yan Baichuan, but the ordinary people in Taiyuan City are our citizens, and our national government is the public servant of the people. Where in the world is there such a truth? ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at this proud henchman, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile What Lifu said made sense, GCD wants to besiege Taiyuan We have nothing to say, but we can't let the people in the city starve. Grain, cloth, coal, salt, medicine and other necessities of life should be allowed to enter Taiyuan City. Or let the civilians in Taiyuan City leave the war zone and move to a safe place in the south. If they don't say yes...... Our Nationalist Army should use force to urge them to correct their mistakes" When he said this, Chiang Kai-shek was almost gritting his teeth, not because he was reactionary or because he loved the people?

Looking at Chairman Jiang with an angry face, the nominal boss of the National ** Army, all the generals gave a thumbs up in admiration. This is to use the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Taiyuan City as an excuse to create problems for GCD on the one hand, and on the other hand, to force the main peace faction in the Kuomintang to agree to increase troops in Shanxi. It's really killing two birds with one stone, and it's so clever.

Although Chiang Kai-shek is the chairman of the Military Commission, it is impossible to send the army to the Shanxi front without the authorization of the presidium...... Lao Jiang has a lot of ways.

In the presidium, the four Cantonese Yankees were divided into two factions, Hu Hanmin and Xu Chongzhi, and the Luo family's uncle and nephew. Chiang Kai-shek was a lonely man, crushed to death by the other four bigwigs, and without the nod of two of the four of them, it was pure delusion that Lao Chiang wanted to transfer troops to Shanxi. Originally, Lao Chiang's plan was to use Taiyuan to consume Zhong G, and after Zhong G suffered heavy casualties, the 11th Division and the 1st Division would find an excuse to create an incident, and then raid the siege troops of Zhong G. and the Jin army of Yan Xishan, who was defending the city, to attack inside and outside, and strive to annihilate the main force of the Central G, and at the same time draw the Youth Army and the Northeast Army to work together, carve up the territory of the Central G, and destroy this great trouble for the Kuomintang Finally, all factions nominally surrendered to Wuhan, and the Kuomintang's ideal of unifying China was considered a success. He Chiang Kai-shek made such a great contribution, and it seems logical that he will ascend to the throne of the presidency if he goes one step further.

But now things have changed, and China G not only adopted siege tactics, but also transferred the Eighth Route Army, which has the strongest combat power, to Shanxi. In this way, the balance of strength between Shanxi and G was immediately reversed. The two divisions of the Kuomintang could not defeat the 200,000 G Army no matter what. As for Yan Xishan's Jin army, it was okay to defend the fortified city, and asked them to attack...... Estimates are hopeless. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek and his henchmen had to try their best to mobilize more troops to the Shanxi front. After all, they have to make sure that they can get the first hit, and if they let GCD defeat them, they will be shooting them on the ground.

"Commission, if the GCD agrees to let the people in Taiyuan City leave, what should we do?" The question was asked by Liu Zhi, who had an honest round face, and was Lao Jiang's most intimate confidant. Except for being a little stupid, everything else is fine.

Chiang Kai-shek laughed, glanced at Ai Jiang and asked the question of Fujing, if Zhong G let go of the people in Taiyuan City, we really can't think of a reason to increase troops in Shanxi. I had to let Zhong G slowly besiege the city, it is estimated that it will be besieged for three or five years, and it may not be able to starve Yan Baichuan to death."

……

Wuhan, East Lake Beilu.

At this moment, the uncle and nephew of the Luo family are leisurely playing chess and drinking tea in the flower hall. Natalie was guarding a red clay stove on the side, looking at the flames on the stove for a while, and fiddling with a few tea utensils for a while. A pot of new tea was hot on the stove, and the fragrance of tea floated throughout the flower hall. Lu Xiaobei sat next to Luo Yaoguo, holding her head with her hands, blinking her eyes at a chess game, but there was a smile on her pretty face.

Speaking of which, Xiaobei is also from a scholarly family, and she knows a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her skills in Go are much stronger than the stinky chess baskets of the Luo family's uncle and nephew. However, playing chess is a chess opponent, and a stinky game of chess is at the time of entanglement. The two big dragons on the chessboard tumbled and strangled together, and it was really difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Luo Yiqun, who was holding the sunspot, frowned slightly, stared at the chessboard with his eyes, and his good face seemed to be a little distorted, looking like he was thinking about it.

Luo Yaoguo, who was playing against him, looked absent-minded, playing with a white child in his right hand, but holding his wife's slender waist with his left hand, a pair of eyes dripping and turning, not thinking nonsense?

With a snap, Luo Yiqun finally finished thinking, and a sunspot landed lightly on the chessboard. As if he had made a major decision, he exhaled lightly and leaned against the soft back of the sofa.

"Fuwen, you really don't care about this matter? Just let Chiang Kai-shek mess around, don't skip words.

The incident in Luo Yiqun's mouth refers to the resolution put forward by Chiang Kai-shek at today's presidium meeting to ensure that the innocent citizens in Taiyuan City will not suffer from famine or other necessities due to the siege of the city by the G Army. This is true, you GCD and Yan Xishan fought a civil war to grab territory, and it was a matter of the common people? You can besiege the city, but you should not cut off the daily supply of the people...... The national government, as a public servant of the people, should intervene in this matter and has the right to intervene.

Without waiting for Luo Yaoguo to answer, Luo Yiqun twisted his eyebrows and replied to himself: To fight and besiege the city, of course, the import of materials must be cut off, and then talk about it...... When this grain is brought in, there is no way to distinguish whether it is for the common people or for the army. Chiang Kai-shek's request, to be honest, is only afraid that it has ulterior motives. ”

Luo Yaoguo didn't think so, waved his hand, and said with a light smile, where is the ulterior motive? Could it be that hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens in Taiyuan City are starving to death? This is the right thing to do. The Chinese side will also understand Jiegong's painstaking efforts and agree to the citizens of Taiyuan to leave the war zone. In this way, when they attack the city, they can also free their hands and feet, and they don't have to worry about hurting the innocent. Luo Yaoguo turned his head, glanced at his wife, and said with a smile Xiaobei, don't you skip words when you say my words.

Lu Xiaobei smiled lightly, and there was a look of admiration on her pretty face, and Jiegong was really worried about the country and the people, if he did this well, the entire Taiyuan people would be grateful for his life-saving grace. ”

Natalie on the side chuckled, and a hint of mockery of Chiang Kai-shek appeared on the corner of her mouth, this trick is to fool the people of Shengdou, who really do big things, where would they care about the lives of hundreds of thousands of lives in Taiyuan City? If Chiang Kai-shek really cared about them, he would not have instructed Yan Xishan to defend Taiyuan. I guess this time he is waiting for G to refuse, so as to get an excuse to increase troops in Shanxi. ”

Luo Yiqun smiled and nodded, Natalie said no. Fuwen, this third aunt of yours is too smart, she couldn't be smarter, but she is your good helper. ”

Lu Xiaobei pouted at this time, frowning, was she jealous, or worried about the safety of hundreds of thousands of citizens in Taiyuan City?

Luo Yaoguo glanced at the big ** beauty who was losing his eyes, and snorted softly, Smart is smart, but his heart is a little bad, and he must be disciplined well. ”

"Natalie has a point, too." Lu Xiaobei suddenly interjected at this time, she sighed faintly, and said that two days ago, there were charities in our university to raise funds for Shanxi refugees, and there was no food to buy and send to Taiyuan City...... Will the children in Taiyuan City starve? Speaking of which, there were already two big teardrops in Xiao Bei's eyes, which looked really pitiful.

Luo Yaoguo lightly pointed at his wife, and smiled at his uncle, see? This is the will of the people, do you think we can disapprove of it? Chiang Kai-shek did this very well, no matter whether the Central G can agree in the end or not, the image of our party in the south has plus points. If G wants to refuse...... I'm afraid that public opinion in the south will not need our command, and it will be criticized in writing. And if we oppose it, I am afraid that we will be scolded until it stinks, and this public opinion is very deterrent to us. ”

Luo Yiqun was silent, his nephew's words were right, and public opinion in the south must be applauded in this matter. There is no harm to the Kuomintang horizontally or vertically. The only risk is the risk of triggering a full-scale civil war

While he was silent, Luo Yaoguo sighed lightly again, but it is a pity that the relationship between the two parties has been maintained for so many years, but this time it is really about to break up. ”

……

On the edge of the Songhua River in Harbin, two generals of the Northeast Army were walking along the river with a large group of soldiers who looked like generals and colonels of the Northeast Army. Behind is a large group of sturdy guards. Both sides of the Songhua River are verdant farmland, and farmers in the northeast are wearing hats to plant rice in the fields to catch up with the solar terms before and after the spring rains. The Northeast is rich in land and abundant in products, and it is even more rare that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no sharp land contradiction like Kannai. Therefore, the people's livelihood is also relatively rich, since Zhang Xueliang retired from the customs, the Northeast military authorities have pursued a policy of rest with the people, this period, the Northeast has indeed had some signs of prosperity. What He Chengjun and Guo Songling said that day was not all sycophants, even compared with the current South China, the people in the Northeast seem to be richer. Of course, the premise is that the ruler of the northeast will send troops to the pass to find him if he has nothing to do.

Of the two generals, one is the current ruler of the Northeast, the vice president of the Beijing government of the Republic of China and the commander of the security of the three eastern provinces. One is Guo Songling, the "second emperor" of the Northeast Army, the General Staff of the Northeast Army. The two walked slowly with their hands behind their backs, talking quietly as they walked. The discussion seems to be whether to send troops to the customs again

"Teacher, do you think this Chiang Kai-shek is sincere to our Northeast Army?" Zhang Xueliang suddenly stopped and looked up at Sun Island in the distance.

Guo Songling sneered at Han Qing, this is not a question of sincerity or insincerity, but whether our Northeast Army has any use value for him Jiang someone. He, Lao Jiang, has given us so many benefits for more than a year and won us over, and this purpose is finally revealed. He was going to use our Northeast Army to help him fight GCD, but he finished GCD...... Does our Northeast Army still have use value? I'm afraid that when the time comes, it's our turn to be unlucky, right? No less words"

Zhang Xueliang nodded lightly, paced a few more steps, and then said that according to the teacher's meaning, should we reject Chiang Kai-shek, not participate in the disputes in the Guannei, or live our lives in peace? ”

Guo Songling sighed for a long time, and shook his head helplessly, I'm afraid this won't work. In the past two days, the Kuomintang proposed to uphold justice for the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the siege of Taiyuan, and not allow the middle G to cut off people's grain routes. Han Qing, don't you see the problem from this, don't skip words.

"The Kuomintang wants to use this as an excuse to start a war with China and G?" Zhang Xueliang's expression was a little hesitant, such a thing as besieging the city and starving for food is not uncommon in the history of civil wars in Chinese dynasties. In history, there are not many ordinary people who have starved to death, and no one has ever come out to uphold justice, and this time the Kuomintang put forward the matter, which sounds fresh enough, and it is said that the Kuomintang local organizations in the south have also launched a donation to buy food for the hungry people in Taiyuan in the past two days, and it is not that the people in Taiyuan City can wait for these life-saving foods?

Guo Songling smiled deeply, and it seemed that the student Zhang Xueliang glanced at Han Qing, if you are the leader of the Central G, how should you be good for this requirement of the Kuomintang? ”

Zhang Xueliang was stunned for a moment, frowned, and seemed to be thinking hard, and after a while, he shook his head and sighed that it was not easy to do. If you agree to the Kuomintang's demands, the city will also be besieged, and the common people will have food and a gun in their hands while starving? This city will not be besieged for a hundred years, but if it is not agreed, the public opinion in the south will be instigated by the Kuomintang again, and the public opinion of the Northern Expedition will rise. I have heard that the Kuomintang has a system of all-round general mobilization, and if there are less than 600,000 troops now, if it really wants to mobilize generally, even if there is water with 20 million bayonets, there may still be 3 or 4 million troops...... When the time comes, one person will spit on one person, and Zhong G will have to drown. ”

"So we can't refuse Chiang Kai-shek." Guo Songling smiled bitterly, now Han Qing, you and Chiang Kai-shek are so good, and our Northeast Army and the Kuomintang do not have a deep hatred, so it is really not good...... Always don't lose the position of the marquis. If you offend them, you won't have a good time wearing small shoes in the future. ”

When Zhang Xueliang heard this, the muscles on his face twitched. Before he could think about it, Guo Songling sighed again Now we are choosing a side between the Kuomintang and GCD, one step away, but it is too late to regret it Ah Hanqing, this is the country left by your father, you can take the idea, my words can only be used as a reference. At the moment, we don't have much room for neutrality. If the Kuomintang starts a war, our Northeast Army will either go all out to help GCD resist the Kuomintang in order to preserve our Northeast foundation, or it will ...... It's time to prepare to sacrifice the soil and surrender, and it's better to surrender late than early, and it's worthless to wait until the soldiers come to the city."
