Chapter 144: Negotiating with the CCP

Li Kenong paced back and forth in the room, making Peng Dehuai, who was sitting on the edge of the sand table, dizzy, but he couldn't say anything. It's been a few days since I came to Zhangwu County, and I started to say that the person in charge was not there, and then an officer named Yu Dazhi came and after a few words of greeting, he completely disappeared, saying that everything would wait for Mrs. Luo Lin to come. It is said that the plane that landed at the airport yesterday was Rowling's, but it was almost noon, and the Thunder people still didn't even come.

"Lao Peng, did you say something happened to Thunder? Otherwise, according to Zhao Zhi's temper, he wouldn't have ignored us here? Li Kenong finally found a plausible excuse for himself. Thunder and the CCP have not dealt with each other once or twice, Zhao Zhi has never used the topic to play the meaning of underestimating the CCP, but this has been here for several days, and Thunder has not yet had a person in charge come out to talk to them, which is indeed weird.

"I said, can you sit for a while, since you come, you will be safe, since the thunder invited us to come, they will not play the matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge" Peng Dehuai, who was very arrogant, was relieved, and the big horse golden knife sat on the chair and played sand table deduction with a few staff officers, and the Eighth Route Army also had a sand table, but it was not as careful and atmospheric as Thunder.

"That person named Yu Dazhi is Zhao Zhi's right-hand man, don't look at him missing a leg, that kid's kung fu is not weak. He is Zhao Zhi's cronies, you say, let's be here cool, could it be Zhao Zhi's idea? Or is this Yu Dazhi making his own assertions? Li Kenong gave full play to the imagination of the intelligence officer, and almost carved the word conspiracy on Yu Dazhi's brain.

"Yo, it's very lively" When Li Kenong bit his ears and talked to Peng Dehuai, the door was pushed open, and Hui Dazhi, who was in a wheelchair, was pushed in. "Chiefs, I'm really sorry, there are too many things in our training camp these days, I've basically lived there these days, and I haven't come to see you, please forgive me, forgive me" Yu Dazhi put his posture very low as soon as he came in, so that Li Kenong, who was holding back the fire in his belly, was not good to lose his temper.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my wife had a fever after arriving at Qinglongping Airport yesterday, and today I specially asked you to come over to meet, please" Yu Dazhi is always not much to say in front of outsiders, especially after he was injured, he was even more silent, just said hello to Peng Dehuai and others, Yu Dazhi signaled the mercenary behind him to push the wheelchair out of the house first.

"He is the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army, so be polite when you talk to others" The mercenary who pushed Yu Dazhi's wheelchair was nicknamed Yu Dazhi who didn't care, and between the two of them looked at each other, two red clouds had already risen on the pretty face under the soft military hat. Yu Dazhi groaned with a strange smile, Miao Jinhua, who was dressed as an angry male soldier, picked up her small fist and slammed it at Yu Dazhi's back like garlic, not long after Yu Dazhi returned to Zhangwu County injured, Miao Jinhua, who was alone, came all the way to find her, claiming that Yu Dazhi was to save her injuries, and she was willing to take care of Yu Dazhi for the rest of her life.

It is precisely based on Miao Jinhua's former guerrilla status that Yu Dazhi will be polite to Li Kenong and others. The two of them walked in front of each other, talking and laughing, and Li Kenong and others followed behind with a straight face, and when they arrived, they knew that the mercenary who pushed the wheelchair for Yu Dazhi was actually a woman, and several young entourages had begun to call Yu Dazhi a landlord and old wealth in their hearts.

"I'm Rowling, welcome representatives of the CCP to our Qinglongping Airport" Like the mercenaries in Qinglongping, Rowling, who is tidying up, is also dressed in the standard attire of mercenaries, which makes people's eyes shine and show their sassy and heroic appearance. Rowling shook hands with Peng Dehuai, Li Kenong and others very politely, and Zhang Lan, the female county magistrate of Zhangwu County, was also present as an escort, and Yu Dazhi and Chriss, who were calm, sat behind Rowling, especially Chrissy stared at the young entourage of the Eighth Route Army.

"How is Zhao Zhike? We are old friends, but we haven't met yet" Peng Dehuai smiled very heartily, their Eighth Route Army is indeed an old acquaintance with Thunder, since Zhao Zhi first entered Shanxi, Thunder has been entangled with the Eighth Route Army, relying on the weapons given to them by Thunder, the Eighth Route Army has successfully formed four infantry regiments, Peng Dehuai has always appreciated Zhao Zhi, but it is a pity that he has not had the opportunity to meet.

"Thank you Deputy Commander for your concern, Zhao Zhi is very good, the war in Burma has been going well, but there are too many things over there and too busy, we have a large number of Thunder, and everything needs him to be in charge there, so this time I just came back here by myself" Rowling's female guards brought the brewed tea, just giving Rowling the opportunity to change the topic, "I came back this time because I have one thing to discuss with you CCP, this is our plan, please take a look at it first"

The plan written in Chinese was placed in front of Li Kenong and Peng Dehuai, and just by reading the content of the first page, Li Kenong almost jumped up, and the courage of this thunder was too great, and a private armed force dared to negotiate a deal with a political party, and actually made a so-called plan accurately. didn't wait for him to ask more, but Peng Dehuai's question dispelled this thought, "I heard that Ms. Rowling flew from Chongqing?" ”

Rowling's answer confirmed what Peng Dehuai said was true, and Li Kenong's mind quickly thought, since Rowling flew from Chongqing, then she must have met Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, and Rowling and Chiang Kai-shek's wife Song Meiling were best friends. If the CCP rejects Thunder's agreement, Rowling will definitely turn around and find Song Meiling, Chongqing's Jiang has always taken the lady's line, if Thunder chooses to support the Nationalist Government, the CCP may not have a good time in the future.

"Two, this is just a draft, I know that the two of you are just coming to our Qinglongping as a guest, so please trouble the two of you to contact your upper echelons as soon as possible, I can only stay here for three days, and I will return to the Burma theater after three days, please be considerate" Seeing the hesitation and struggle in Li Kenong's eyes, Rowling took the opportunity to use time as a bargaining chip to force Li Kenong and Peng Dehuai to express their position.

"Ms. Rowling, can you Thunder really provide our Eighth Route Army with weapons and equipment that can arm 5 divisions in three years, as stated in this agreement? I'm not talking about rifles and grenadiers, there must be at least one artillery brigade with a caliber of more than 105 in the equipment of the 5 divisions, and it's best that your thunderous tanks and armored vehicles can also give us some" Peng Dehuai is worthy of being a person who is used to fighting the autumn wind, no matter whether this agreement is successful or not, let's talk about the conditions first, anyway, there are still three days, and there is no need to spend money to move your mouth.

"Yes, as long as your CCP and our Thunder sign this agreement, in the next three years, we Thunder will train at least three divisions of soldiers for you, provide materials that can equip 5 divisions of troops, and we guarantee that the weapons and equipment distributed to you will not be lower than the level of the Japanese Army's B Division" Rowling paused slightly, leaving Li Kenong and Peng Dehuai some time to digest and then said, "If you CCP can agree to the additional conditions behind the clause, We Thunder will also provide you with some of the world's advanced weapons, including the weapons that are being used by our Thunder elite troops."

Hearing that there was a better choice, Peng Dehuai hurriedly turned to the last page of the plan, and sure enough, he saw the additional conditions that could have most of the paper. "What do you want Xinjiang to do? I heard that Xinjiang is a barren land, there are no people at all, and the Kuomintang has established an office in Xinjiang, but I heard that the Uyghurs over there have long been hooked up with the White Russian cavalry of the Soviet Union, and the Kuomintang can't do anything about those Uyghurs." Peng Dehuai knew a little about Xinjiang, and when he saw that one of the attached conditions was to lease Xinjiang for 70 years, he shouted it directly.

"It is precisely because of the collusion between the Uyghurs and the White Russian cavalry in Xinjiang that we want to lease Xinjiang, there are many White Russians in the earliest batch of mercenaries in our Thunder, they were intercepted by the Soviet White Russians when they returned to China to meet their families, and dozens of mercenaries only came back to two, Zhao Zhi was very angry with the White Russians, maybe the next battlefield of our Thunder is Xinjiang, and the target is those White Russians" Rowling's plausibility made Li Kenong and Peng Dehuai not believe her words, subconsciously, Li Kenong thinks that Lei Ting wants to defend his territory in Xinjiang, and Zhao Zhimo does not want to be a warlord like Yan Xishan.

Peng Dehuai's knowledge of Xinjiang is mostly hearsay, but Li Kenong, who is engaged in intelligence work, knows a lot about Xinjiang, and as long as he guards the Xingxing Gorge on the border with Gansu, Xinjiang in the Gobi Desert will be impregnable. Don't look at the jubilation of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, if they face the thunder of extraordinary combat power, the Uyghurs who fight on horseback may end up being exterminated. Li Kenong even thinks that Rowling's remarks just now are a trick, and Thunder leased Xinjiang just to prepare a back road, which is a cunning rabbit.

Li Kenong and Peng Dehuai were dazzled by the conditions offered by Lei Ting, and their thinking was stuck in the content of the plan, and no one thought about why Lei Ting talked to them about leasing Xinjiang with the CCP, after all, now that the Kuomintang is in power, how could Lei Ting, who has a tacit relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, make such a low-level common-sense mistake.

"Ms. Rowling, this matter is very important, I need to contact the Party Central Committee before I can answer, but I promise to give Ms. Rowling a satisfactory answer within three days" Li Kenong is a special envoy of the CCP, but the implications of this plan are too extensive, and he does need to report to the Central Committee, especially Lei Ting's additional conditions for leasing Xinjiang for 70 years, these things are not something that he and Peng Dehuai can undertake.
