"The New Fourth Army retreats north?"

"Yes, this is Qin Wei's proposal."

……

The meeting ended quickly after Qin Wei put forward his own proposal. He Yingqin reported Qin Wei's proposal to Chiang Kai-shek, and the results immediately aroused Chiang Kai-shek's interest. In fact, Lao Chiang has no intention of attacking the New Fourth Army now. Qin Wei relied on a little foresight to "sell" him, He Yingqin, and Bai Zhengxi, and in terms of time period, it can be said that they were unjustly killed. But the problem is that even if they are wronged, no one will redress them. Is it true that Hu Zongnan surrounded the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area? Is it true that Shi Yousan and Zhu Huaibing attacked the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army? Yan Xishan's attack on the anti-Japanese death squad led by the Communist Party is also true, right? And inferring from this, how could Lao Chiang give up dealing with the New Fourth Army? Although the development of the New Fourth Army was not as exaggerated as that of the Eighth Route Army, as one of the two main forces of the Communist Party and had been developing in areas of the traditional strength of the Kuomintang, Lao Chiang should have regarded it as a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the side long ago. And against the Eighth Route Army, Lao Jiang aimed to directly smash Huanglong, and how could he not be ruthless against the New Fourth Army, which was just in his elbow? Therefore, this "unjust case" cannot be called an unjust case at all. Even if the Communist Party failed to find any evidence to prove this after receiving Qin Wei's warning, it was only because Lao Chiang's plan had not yet reached the stage of concrete implementation......

But now, Qin Wei himself put forward the proposal for the New Fourth Army to withdraw north.

"It seems that he is still on the side of the party-state."

Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with Qin Wei's attitude. After he finished the meeting that day, as soon as he went out, he heard Qin Wei make nonsense about his anti-communist behavior, and he was naturally quite annoyed. That's why He Yingqin was asked to bring people to negotiate with the Communist Party, and he wanted to force Qin Wei to make his position clear. But now it seems to be working well. Thinking about it, Qin Wei has no roots. But it must be a rich man, even if he doesn't appear in Chongqing, he will definitely be some kind of big capitalist or something like that in the future, how can he get mixed up with the representatives of that group of poor sticks?

"What does the commission mean to talk to Zhou Enlai and them according to Qin Wei's proposal?" He Yingqin asked again.

"What do you see?" Chiang Kai-shek asked rhetorically.

"The New Fourth Army has developed very rapidly in recent years, and its strength has become stronger and stronger. In particular, it echoes the Eighth Route Army, one north and one south, which is extremely unfavorable to the party-state. So we have to take the necessary measures to prevent it. However, I think Qin Wei's trick has a bit of a muddy meaning. He Yingqin replied.

"And the mud?"

"Qin Wei's point of view is obvious, he does not approve of us attacking the Communist Party before the victory of the War of Resistance. I think this is mainly because he is not all the way with us, so he doesn't pay much attention to the dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and he doesn't care about the blood feud between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the past few decades. It's so easy. However, he also knew that we had suffered a loss this time. So he put forward this suggestion, firstly, to give an explanation to the outside world, and secondly, to take care of our face. But I don't think that's good. The New Fourth Army is strong. Although the range of strength is much worse than that of the Eighth Route Army, Ye Ting and Xiang Ying are not easy to deal with. An Eighth Route Army is already so difficult. Once the New Fourth Army returns north. In the regions of North China, is there still a place for us to speak? He Yingqin said.

"You mean...... Don't say yes? Chiang Kai-shek asked.

"It's best to let the New Fourth Army from Jiangbei come to Jiangnan." He Yingqin said, "Our strength in Jiangnan is far stronger than our strength in Jiangbei. The Ninth Theater had just won Okamura Ninji and eliminated three divisions of the Japanese army, which was the time when the momentum was at its peak and the strength was at its best. Xue Yue is a veteran of dealing with the Communist Party......"

"Well......" Chiang Kai-shek thought for a moment, "you have a good idea. Just go and talk to Zhou Enlai. ”

"Yes!"

"But Qin Wei's face also has to be taken care of." Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a while: "That's it...... Shi Yousan is already dead, regardless of him. Zhu Huaibing, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has only a small number of troops. His two main divisions were actually crippled when they went up...... According to what Qin Wei said, dismissal! ”

"Yes!"

*****************************************************************

Lao Jiang was discussing with He Yingqin, and the Eighth Route Army Liaison Office was also hesitating because of Qin Wei's proposal.

No one thought that Qin Wei would take the initiative to let the New Fourth Army retreat north.

"That's what he reminded us." Bogu only felt that his head was full of confusion at the moment, "Let's be careful of Chiang Kai-shek." But now he himself proposed to let the New Fourth Army withdraw north...... What does he want to do? ”

"Could it be that Lao Jiang and they have come up with some new demon moths?" Ye Jianying looked at everyone hesitantly and asked.

"Who knows? After suffering such a big loss in our hands, with Chiang Kai-shek's always own character, he will definitely retaliate. Dong Biwu pinched his beard, "But the strength of the Kuomintang in the north is weak, and it has just suffered a loss, and Chiang Kai-shek knows that there is no play, so it may not be impossible to retaliate against Ye Ting and Xiang Ying." ”

"Could this be some kind of smokescreen by the Kuomintang? This Qin Wei has always had a close relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin, Dai Li, and others, and although he has never shown any anti-communist stance, who can guarantee what his attitude towards us is? In case this was a bureau set up by him and Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin, and others, the New Fourth Army would suffer a big loss. Lin Boqu said suddenly.

"I still believe that Qin Wei's attitude towards us is friendly." Zhou Enlai muttered, "There must be some special reason for such a proposal. But we still have to be careful in this matter. Report it to the Central Committee first, and then see what the Kuomintang side will say. ”

"What if the Kuomintang really wants to let the New Fourth Army retreat north?" Ye Jianying asked.

"I think the central government should be advised to resolutely oppose it." Bo Gu said: "The development situation of the New Fourth Army is good, although there have been some frictions with Gu Zhutong in the Third War Zone and Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying's troops in the Ninth War Zone, and they have been forced to give up some base areas, but the overall situation is still good. There is no reason for us to throw away all these years of comrades' efforts for the sake of a few words from someone. ”

"Most of the areas of activity of the New Fourth Army were under the direct jurisdiction of Chiang Kai-shek, and most of the surrounding troops were Chiang's descendants...... Just like Qin Wei reminded us at the beginning. Chiang Kai-shek would not allow Ye Ting and Xiang Ying to sit in these places. As soon as there are signs that are difficult to control, he will immediately take a ruthless action. Zhou Enlai said in a deep voice: "Moreover, although the New Fourth Army has developed well in recent years, it is still far behind the Eighth Route Army on the whole. How many people are there in total in the New Fourth Army now? Gao Jingting's four detachments were 8,000 people. It is already the strongest one, but this is really compared, I am afraid that it is the strength actually controlled by a main regiment of the Eighth Route Army...... Retreating north is not necessarily a bad idea. ”

"I think it's somewhere in between. The northward retreat has the advantages of the northward retreat, such as it is more convenient to contact the central government, and it should also be more convenient to develop, which is more conducive to us to concentrate our fists together; If they do not withdraw, they can continue to hold back some of the Japanese forces in the Jiangnan area, and they will be able to dig a nail within the traditional strength of the Kuomintang, which will be beneficial to the future......" Dong Biwu looked a little embarrassed. That's the hard part of being a leader: you have to make the right decisions when you need to. But who can guarantee that their decisions will always be correct? So. When making a decision, they must be thoughtful and try to consider every possibility, but then it is too late.

……

"Tuk Tuk!"

Choose the ones that are closest to the truth among the countless pieces of information. And it is difficult to make a decision based on this information that is best for your side. Several leaders of the Southern Bureau of the Communist Party of China discussed for a long time, but they could not come up with any results. Because for the New Fourth Army. The northern retreat is indeed a dilemma. And just when they can't get results. Just as he was about to end the discussion, there was a knock on the door. After that, Deng Yingchao walked in with a telegram, and at the same time, everyone in the room also saw that Sister Deng's face was very bad.

"What's going on?" Zhou Enlai suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"A telegram from the headquarters of the New Fourth Army, they shot Gao Jingting."

"What?"

***********************************************************

"Okamura Ninji has already decided to cooperate with us."

White Mansion. Not long after Qin Wei came back. Xu Yuanju made a report to him.

"That old devil bowed his head so quickly?" Qin Wei was a little surprised, "I thought he would be able to hold out for another month or two." ”

"Your three shots have long since taken his temper away. Another month or two? He's scared, you're going to shoot him a few more times. Xu Yuanju said with a smile.

"A few shots at him isn't much. …… Has this been announced? Qin Wei asked again.

"Okamura Ninji's condition is that he cannot be announced to the outside world that he has surrendered." Xu Yuanju smiled bitterly.

"When you are a bitch, you have to set up a torii." Qin Wei pursed his lips disdainfully, "How long does he think this matter can be hidden?" ”

"Hehe, didn't you give him the saber of the 'Bombing King' given by the Emperor of Okida?" Xu Yuanju smiled and said, "That old devil is made of this knife." came up with an idea: let the commander of the 106th Division, Ryotaro Nakai, carry his tank. ”

"Ryotaro Nakai?" Qin Wei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Don't say it, if you don't mention it, I forgot about this guy...... In the Japanese army, there are always defeated battles, and there are not many who have been defeated so badly. 101 and 106 are the most brilliant of them. By the way, how is this Ryotaro Nakai? ”

"It's still closed." Xu Yuanju pursed his lips, "This guy hasn't been shot or tortured, so he's always been quite hard-mouthed." ”

"Then let him harden his mouth." Qin Wei smiled, "But if he finds out one day that he was framed by his boss, will he still be so hard-mouthed?" ”

"I don't think so." Xu Yuanju said with a smile.

"Makes sense, hahaha......"

Qin Wei smiled, happy to see the scene of the two devil lieutenant generals biting each other, and at this time, Zhou Tian walked in from outside.

"What's so coke?"

"There's a lot of stuff about Coke. Do you want me to tell you about it, and then let's have fun together? Qin Wei asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid you won't be happy after listening to me." Zhou Tian looked at him, "The Soviet Union sent someone, what is it called Cui Kefu, I heard that he is here to find trouble...... Minister He personally called and asked you to come over and discuss how to deal with it. (To be continued......)
