Chapter 621 - Tightly Linked
Wu Xiaoliang didn't react for a while.
"What, the Japanese and the Soviets clashed, how is this possible, where." As he spoke, he left his chair and walked to the curtain on the east wall, where he pulled it open with all his might, revealing a huge full-scale picture of East Asia.
Zhang Xueliang followed, drew a circle along the Heilongjiang River in the northeast, and finally nodded vigorously, "This is it, it's good now, the Japanese and Lao Maozi will do it, and the pressure on our Yellow River line can be dissolved invisibly, and the two of them had better do a big one like they did more than 20 years ago." ”
Zhang Xueliang's interest is very high, Lao Maozi is not Chinese, although the Russo-Japanese War was defeated quite badly, but it is said that the current Soviet people are no longer what they used to be, and their national defense strength has far exceeded that of the imperial Russian period.
"It's best for us to add a fire to both of them, and we will have a chance to take ......advantage of it when it burns up" Zhang Xueliang was full of interest, but suddenly found that Wu Xiaoliang was standing in front of the huge map of East Asia, staring at the northeast with his eyebrows, and the cigarette in his hand was smoking......
"How, isn't Brother Wei optimistic about the war between Japan and Russia."
The location of this conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union is not elsewhere, but Boli at the confluence of the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River, and this is the border between Suidong and the Soviet Union; according to the treaty signed by the two sides, the Soviet Union has the right to garrison troops in the cities along the Ussuri River, and if the war continues to burn, will it affect Suidong, and the Soviet Union has coveted the land of several hundred thousand square kilometers in Suidong for a long time......
Speaking of Suidong's ability to survive in the cracks so far, it was Wu Xiaoliang's later generations who concluded that the rise of the Soviet Union was inevitable, so it was better to take advantage of the fact that Soviet Russia was still at a disadvantage in fighting with the white bandit army everywhere, and negotiated with it.
However, this draft treaty actually had great loopholes, for example, the Soviet Russian government at that time only recognized in writing that the Suidong Governor had administrative power over the land south of the Ussuri River, but it was vague about the sovereignty of this land, and did not admit that it had given up the territorial claim to this land, so once the existing situation changed, the Soviets would be able to regain this land.
After listening to Wu Xiaoliang's heavy statement, Zhang Xueliang's originally high interest was immediately like a deflated ball, and he said dejectedly: "The loophole is so big, why did you still sign a contract with it in the first place." ”
Wu Xiaoliang sighed: "In the first version of the treaty, it was indeed proposed to clarify the ownership of sovereignty, but perhaps because of the number of days, Denikin in Soviet Russia was hit hard by the Soviet Russian Red Army, and the situation was greatly reversed. ”
Zhang Xueliang said with great difficulty after a while: "What does Brother Wei mean, let's try our best to mediate the conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union." ”
Wu Xiaoliang crossed his arms and frowned.
"It's hard to make a definitive conclusion at the moment, but the expansion of the conflict between the Soviet Union and the Japanese is really bad for us, and there is an even more serious consequence at home."
After Wu Xiaoliang's reminder, Zhang Xueliang seemed to wake up suddenly, suddenly realized, and slapped his thigh hard.
"It will also affect the National Reconciliation Conference."
Although his words were doubts, he clearly had an answer in his heart, Wu Xiaoliang nodded, "That's true." Then he turned to his adjutant and ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to Suidong and tell Fang Qidao that there are two points that must be prepared for a rainy day, one is to improve combat readiness and make comprehensive preparations for the successive invasions of the Soviet Union and Japan, and the other is to maintain restraint as much as possible and not start a war with it lightly." ”
Wu Xiaoliang felt powerless at this time, and it was difficult for him to protect himself in the country, where would he have extra strength and experience to aid Suidong, not to mention that last year's war with Japan was also won with the support and assistance of Suidong Province.
Zhang Xueliang suddenly slapped his thigh again and said: "If the conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union expands, they will inevitably transfer troops from North China to the Northeast, and the pressure on our Yellow River line will inevitably decrease. ”
Wu Xiaoliang did not base his position, he did not think about Zhang Xueliang's method, but it was too risky to do so, and there was a big gambling posture, and the current situation was deadlocked, and he could still take advantage of this layout to wait for the opportunity to move, but if the war broke out, his own preparations were not sufficient, and the domestic forces were intertwined and hostile to each other, where the war situation would develop, the uncertainty would become greater.
"Han Qing said well, but the first premise is to convene this national reconciliation conference smoothly, and all parties form a national front alliance, and the guns are unanimous with the outside world, and take the opportunity to counterattack North China, or a war."
Wu Xiaoliang and Zhang Xueliang turned around in unison, only to see that the person who came was Yan Xishan.
"Uninvited guests, uninvited guests, Weizhong and Hanqing don't blame."
Yan Xishan's sudden visit and this statement undoubtedly injected Zhang Xueliang with a shot in the arm, and the previous frustration was swept away.
"Yan Baigong came at the right time, and with the strong support of Shanxi, he will definitely succeed in a battle."
Wu Xiaoliang invited Yan Xishan to sit down on the sofa on the south side of the room, and as the whole person sank into the soft sofa, the physical comfort and the inner anxiety formed a strong contrast in his mind.
"Yan Baigong must have known about the Soviet-Japanese conflict here, but I don't know if Nanjing can still come to Han as promised."
Yan Xishan's nose twitched, and his big hand waved vigorously, "Come, it will definitely come, if there is no Soviet-Japanese conflict, I am afraid that someone will have to hesitate a little, in this case, the internal pressure will not be reduced because of this, and the public opinion at home and abroad will not be weakened by this, and even the trend will become more and more intense, at this time, it will reduce the pressure and risk of unanimous external relations, and Jiang will be very happy in order to cater to public opinion." ”
If the united front is successfully formed, then the counteroffensive against North China mentioned by Zhang Hanqing is not impossible to achieve, but it needs to be faced by the Suidong side under tremendous pressure, and whether Fang Qidao can withstand the pressure and preserve the sovereignty of Suidong.
Suddenly, the adjutant pushed the door in a hurry: "Jiang Zhongzheng's plane has arrived over Wuhan." ”
