Chapter 459: Negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party on "Spoils".
January 26, 1941.
Chinese New Year's Eve.
Zhou Enlai, Ye Jianying, Bogu, Lin Boqu, and Dong Biwu, the five leaders of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China, walked into the living room of Guiyuan with a solemn face. It's just that at this time, the layout of Guiyuan's living room has long been changed, and the original sofa and coffee table have long been gone, leaving only a rectangular conference table, and five chairs are placed on each side of the table.
This is negotiation.
The reason for the negotiations was the Timoshenko tribe, which had recently retreated from Siberia into the Khalkha Mongols.
That's right, Timoshenko was defeated, and he was defeated without much fighting. But it was precisely because of this that his troops saved almost all their weapons, as well as a large amount of baggage. To count them carefully, these things mainly include: 23,000 tons of artillery shells, 10,000 tons of bombs, 13,000 tons of fuel, 8,000 tons of supplies, 3,000 trucks, more than 600 tanks, more than 400 armored vehicles, 700 cannons, and more than 800 aircraft...... And this can only be regarded as relatively conspicuous, inconspicuous, such as some light weapons, mortars and so on equipped with 200,000 Soviet Red Army, at least one or two thousand; There are also light and heavy machine guns, which are also measured in thousands; bullets, in the tens of millions of rounds, in addition to a large number of anti-aircraft weapons......
The Kuomintang and the Communist Party were already red-eyed for these things, because the Soviets said that what they could not take with them, they could leave it to the Chinese in case they continued to fight the Japanese. But the problem is that they are not responsible for distribution, and the KMT and the CCP must come up with their own charters. In other words, the Soviet Union no longer wanted, or rather did not want to offend the Chinese, regardless of the party. Because although they are still strong, they have no room to speak. Offending the Communists, their troops in Khalkha Mongolia may soon starve; Offended the Kuomintang. These 200,000 people may have to stay in Khalkha forever, let alone return to China, and it will be difficult for them to survive until after the war. Who called them defeated? Not only was it defeated, but it also allowed the Japanese and those rebels to fight to the east of the Urals. Although the current Soviet Union still retains more than ninety percent of its Qinghua, its influence on China has plummeted because of the distance...... Although there are also Kazakhstan and these republics bordering China, it is too unrealistic to threaten the Chinese through these places, and it will completely annoy the Chinese. By that time, a general like Timoshenko and the 200,000 mechanized troops he led had lost in vain. And will add another enemy to itself in the direction of Asia. Stalin was a practical man, especially after being taught a lesson, he understood better what should be done. Anyway, the chances of Timoshenko's weapons being brought back to Soviet-controlled territory are slim, so simply let the Chinese deal with it.
And this directly led to the largest non-armed conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party after the cooperation in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Lao Jiang wanted to grab all these things directly. But Khalkha is now the territory of the Communist Party, and he can't reach it. Unless Timoshenko agrees to cooperate with him. Together to eliminate the communist forces in Khalkha. Otherwise, he would not have been able to use force at all. But it was impossible for Timoshenko to agree to him at all, for reasons already mentioned...... Didn't eat. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China learned to be obedient, and only said that he was poor, and could only supply food to Timoshenko's department on a daily basis, and the supply was not enough, so they could only be half-full. So. Timoshenko obviously has the strength to eliminate the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in a short period of time, but he does not dare to move at all. Rob? Please, since they are guarding against you. How can you grab it casually. Khalkha is a big hit, not to mention 200,000 people, and 2 million people can't find much shadow when they come in. Although the Soviet Union still has an internal response here called Choibalsan, Choibalshan is not a fool, the Soviets have gotten to this point, if he still wants to mix in Khalkha, it will definitely be impossible to follow in his footsteps. Otherwise, before the Soviets came back, he Choibalshan might have disappeared into Khalkha. Those people in the CCP are not good men and women.
But then again, the Communist Party occupies the geographical advantage, but Lao Chiang is the central government, that is, it occupies the time, as for the people and ...... It was occupied by the Chinese people, and no one wanted the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to go to war. Therefore, both sides have scruples and can only negotiate. And since there is to negotiate, it is naturally impossible to let the Kuomintang people go to Kulun, so the Communist Party can only let Zhou Enlai and others who stayed in Chongqing take action. Anyway, Vice Chairman Zhou has always been the best at fighting this kind of battle without gunpowder, and his combat effectiveness in this regard can be said to be the first in the CPC, and others can't compare with it, which is just right.
……
"Chief Qin!?"
When Zhou Enlai pushed the door and walked in, all five negotiators from the Kuomintang side were already present, and no one stood up to greet them. Zhou Enlai was not surprised by this...... Everyone has been noisy several times, so there is no need to be so hypocritical and polite. But when he glanced at the opponents again, he was surprised to see a certain person, and this person, unlike the other Kuomintang representatives who were staring at them, was lying directly on the table, and was still snoring.
"Qin Wei!"
Zhang Zhizhong is similar to Zhou Enlai, and he is also the old negotiator of the Kuomintang in this regard. However, seeing such an embarrassing situation in the people on his side, Rao was tested for a long time, and he couldn't help but blush slightly, and couldn't help but slap Qin Wei hard.
"Huh? What's the matter, it's dawn? Qin Wei raised his head and looked out the window naturally: "It's really dawning." ”
"Chief Qin looks very tired. Come to think of it, the war between the two Cantons must have been very busy. Zhou Enlai didn't care about Qin Wei's attitude, sat down with the people on his side, and said with a smile.
"What's the busy? I pulled Lao Tzu out of the bed in the middle of the night last night, saying that he was participating in some negotiations...... Chongqing, which flew back overnight, was about to die. Qin Wei didn't treat Zhou Enlai as an outsider, and muttered directly.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Seeing that Qin Wei was so undignified and not serious, Wang Shijie, who was sitting opposite Bogu, couldn't help but cough dryly.
"Lao Zhang, this is your house, Director Wang has a bad voice, are you letting people get a little fat sea?" Qin Wei ignored this guy and just said to Zhang Zhizhong. Guiyuan is a villa in Zhang Zhizhong.
"Chief Qin, this is a negotiation, can you be serious?" Wang Shijie couldn't help but be a little annoyed. As the director of Lao Chiang's military counselor's office, he can also be regarded as a figure with great power in the national government. Because the Military Counsellor's Office under his command was Lao Chiang's senior think tank, Lao Chiang generally had to let the senior think tanks of the Counsellor's Office give advice on major issues such as KMT-CPC relations, military, diplomatic, financial, industrial, and post-war demobilization, so as to provide important reference for his final ruling. As the director of the Counselor's Office, even He Yingqin and those people did not dare to be rude to him easily. Although he had long known about Qin Wei's difficulty, he didn't expect this kid to dare to make fun of himself as soon as he came up. But thinking about Qin Wei's performance all the time, he has no problem...... Even if he sued this kid in front of Lao Jiang, it was useless, because people didn't rely on Lao Jiang at all.
"What's so serious about it? Isn't it just that everyone is going back to the mountain together, getting some money to buy roads, and then sharing the spoils...... It's a big deal. Qin Wei pursed his lips and looked directly at Zhou Enlai: "Minister Zhou, Brother Timoxin brought 23,000 tons of shells, leave 3,000 tons for you, and give us the rest, how about it?" ”
"No, why are you more than six times as much as us? At least one and a half! Without waiting for Zhou Enlai to reply, Bogu first expressed his opposition.
"It's obviously impossible to have one person and one half. At most, I will add you another 2,000 tons. 18,000 on one side, 5,000 on the other, that's it. With a "snap", Qin Wei slapped the table, "Don't object!" ”
"You ......" Bogu turned red with anger, "what are you?" ”
"Chief Qin, 5,000 tons of artillery shells are not negotiable, but how many cannons do you plan to leave us?" Ye Jianying spoke on the other side of Zhou Enlai.
"Cannons, according to the total number of 700 guns, I will give you 100 guns!" Qin Wei said very simply.
"Jokes. 100 doors? Are you six times as many as us? Bogu shouted.
"Yes, how many people are there in the Eighth Route Army? Even if you add the New Fourth Army, that is, two armies. But the national army is more than that...... In my opinion, it will be almost enough for your army to leave 20 gates. As for the shells, one and a half bases per cannon, I think that's enough. Zhang Qun on Wang Shijie's side also said with a smile.
"We don't dare to agree with Chairman Zhang's words," Dong Biwu said with a smile, "Chief Qin has already said just now, at least give us a hundred cannons and 5,000 tons of shells, and you will shrink several times at once." You don't agree on it yourself, so how can you talk to us? ”
"Chief Qin was just joking." Zhang Qun glanced at Qin Wei and said with a smile.
"I said Chairman Zhang," Qin Wei pursed his lips, "You, the chairman of Sichuan Province, still borrow my light." What do you mean by cutting my face at this time? Besides, how am I kidding again? ”
"Chief Qin! Pay attention to your identity! "Why did the chairman get such a guy? Wang Shijie was as tired as eating a fly. This Qin Wei is here to help, obviously he is here to help.
"I'm very conscious of identity." Qin Wei rolled his eyes, "Don't use your set to make me obey...... If you have to negotiate, you have to be sincere, and I don't like to waste time. My negotiating conditions were very simple: 600 tanks, 500 for our side, 100 for the total side; 400 armored vehicles, 250 for our side, 150 for the total side; Artillery, 600 for us, 100 for the party; Correspondingly, artillery shells, 20,000 for us, 3,000 for the total side; The bombs are all ours; fuel, our 8000, a total of 5000; Other materials, 5,000 for us, 3,000 for a total of 3,000; The other 3,000 cars, 2,000 for us, 1,000 for the total; The plane, Lao Maozi doesn't seem to have promised to give it yet, and when the time comes, let's talk about it, and that's all there is left, either agree, sign a contract, and divide things; Either you don't agree, I'll fuck off! …… You'll see! ”
