Chapter 115: War or Peace

Lin Wei stood on the rostrum, holding the report in his hand, and explained in detail the conditions for negotiation put forward by the Japanese. I'll kill you. "The old man is going to be beaten with a cane.

Wang Chonghui sat on the side, her expression was extremely embarrassed, a weak country has no diplomacy, it is already good that she can talk about this kind of situation, what else do you want? Did you let the Japanese kneel down and call grandpa to the Republic of China?

Everyone looked at it, and the old man who scolded the street was called Xiong Xiling, the first democratically elected prime minister of the party-state, this is a real veteran, and no one dares to offend.

Chiang Kai-shek has always been in a vacillating attitude, and he was already mentally prepared to let Tang Shengzhi fight, but as soon as Wang Huipet told him the conditions, Chiang Kai-shek immediately hesitated.

"Chairman of the committee, I have something to say about my humble position." Liu Yuan comforted the old man sitting beside him, if Liu Yuan hadn't stopped him just now, this old man would have died with Wang Chonghui.

Chiang Kai-shek's face was also very ugly, didn't these people all oppose fighting with the Japanese? What's going on with this old man. However, when he saw Liu Yuan standing up, Chiang Kai-shek said, "If you want to say it, just say it, the situation has reached this point, and everyone will speak freely today." ”

"Does the principal still remember the wild words put forward by the Japanese army at the beginning of the Battle of Songhu?" Liu Yuan asked.

"You mean that the Japanese said that they would destroy China in three months, that is pure nonsense, and with Chiang Kai-shek here, it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese to destroy China." Chiang Kai-shek glared at him and said righteously, of course, when answering Liu Yuan's words, he was very careful, when it came to national issues, if he didn't make a good fuss, he would become a traitor.

"The Japanese used to say that China would be destroyed in three months, but this battle has been fought for five months, and we are still doing well, what does this mean?" Liu Yuan continued to ask.

"This shows that the strategy of quick solutions is wrong, and our strategy of exchanging space for time is right." Lin Wei replied with a twinkle in his eyes.

"General Lin Wei is right, the Japanese also have wise men, such as Ishihara Waner, Tojo Hideki, Terauchi Shouichi, these are all a generation of elites, they can't see the mistakes of the Japanese in a quick battle, that's why they proposed peace talks with us to change their strategy. If we accede to the demands of the Japanese, then strategically we give the Japanese time to buffer, then we will fall from active to passive. Liu Yuan said very simply, even the old man Xiong Xiling nodded in praise.

"And then there's the political issue? If we talk to the Japanese at this time, let the Red Party see us, let Japan think of us, let the overseas Chinese who support us think of us, and let the foreign powers think of us. Liu Yuan's words were like beating a drum, the drum beat was slow at first, but the more it came later, the more powerful it became, as if it was knocking on Chiang Kai-shek's heart. Chiang Kai-shek's face turned ugly.

"Our territory is vast, our masses of the people are innumerable, our soldiers are warlike, we fight on our territory, as long as we adhere to the correct strategy, we can get the right time, place and people, with these three points, we simply cannot lose the war. Japan's territory and population are simply not comparable to ours, and as long as we persist, we will definitely have the opportunity to go to Tokyo to enjoy the blossoms in the future. Liu Yuan's words were very confident and encouraging, and many discouraged officers were somewhat happy after listening to Liu Yuan's speech.

Chiang Kai-shek kept looking at Chen Cheng and motioned for Chen Cheng to refute Liu Yuan, and after the last Chen Cheng let Chiang Kai-shek see that there was no way, he stood up and said, "Fuguo, we have lost Beijing, if Nanjing is lost, we will be even more passive, without Nanjing, our country can almost be declared extinct." The Japanese are not very demanding, they can even withdraw their troops from Shanghai, and even some of the troops in North China will be withdrawn, which is faster than the victory won in the war. ”

As soon as Chen Cheng's words were finished, He Yingqin also said in agreement, "This negotiation has no harm to the country's sovereignty, and we can't control Inner Mongolia and Northeast China, so let's relax, as long as there are five more years, we don't have to worry so much about the Japanese." He Yingqin was as afraid of the Japanese as ever.

Bai Chongxi's face was full of ridicule, "Yes, the Japanese are all fools, as long as we agree, the Japanese will return to us North China, parts of Northeast China, and Shanghai, the Japanese are all fools, a samurai with a weapon in his hand actually surrendered like a weak patient, which is ridiculous." ”

Bai Chongxi's words were very harsh, which made the faces of the people who were still supporting the negotiations just now turn red, why is this deputy chief of staff so mean, you also know that the party-state is a sick person, and the Japanese are strong men, so what else is there to fight.

"It's better to negotiate than to continue to fight, we consumed too many resources in the first battle of Songhu, the soldiers suffered heavy losses, and we simply have no ability to continue to compete with the Japanese army, and I also agree with negotiations." Liu Pei, deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, said.

Since Chen Cheng finished speaking, Liu Yuan has been silently watching everyone speak, the audience is not that they don't understand, but they are really afraid, so that the Japanese broke their courage, they are nostalgic for Nanjing, and they don't want to leave at all, so they want to negotiate with the Japanese.

"I remember that at the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese also said that they would negotiate with us, but what we were waiting for was not a peace treaty, but the three divisions of the Japanese, I think everyone may forget about this matter, the Japanese have an advantage on the battlefield at present, if it were you, would you choose to negotiate?" Liu Yuan said with a smile, "Since the Battle of Northeast China, the Japanese have begun to plot to invade us, and it has been so many years before they have occupied Northeast China and North China, you think they will negotiate with us, as long as we agree to their conditions and disband our anti-Japanese united front, the Japanese will be able to take Nanjing immediately, and once the people's hearts are scattered, it is impossible to get together, at least as long as my hundreds of thousands of southwest troops return to Sichuan, there is absolutely no possibility of coming out again." Liu Yuan's words were very heavy, but they were unusually practical, and they hit the soft underbelly of the peacemakers fiercely, leaving them with nothing to say.

"In this case, there is nothing to talk about, everything we do must be based on Lushan's speech." Yang Yongtai's words were more tactful, but at this time, everyone could see that he was inclined to Liu Yuan.

Later, Chiang Kai-shek still vetoed Liu Yuan's opinion, and we still have to talk about it, but you said that the Japanese will definitely not give up so easily, we can be prepared for their attack, and if they really paralyze us, we are at least prepared.

Chiang Kai-shek continued, "Now let's talk about the issue of Nanjing, whether to defend it or not, and how to defend it. ”

After Chiang Kai-shek spoke, He Yingqin was not willing to be lonely and said, "With the current situation, the strength in our hands is really limited, and it is almost impossible to hold Nanjing, so it is better to give up Nanjing ......"

Liu Pei said, "Minister He is right, Nanjing is not a defensible place at all, this is the essence of how many dynasties have left, we can't easily damage it, and the transportation here is convenient, the Japanese army can quickly transfer troops on both land and sea, if they cut off all the retreats, what will be the fate of the defenders?" This Nanjing can't be defended. ”

"Confused! Nanjing is the capital of the country, and the prime minister is watching you at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Liu Yuan was already angry, this group of people was really too cowardly, and they wanted to give up the capital to the Japanese.

"It's easy to say, your chief of staff can speak, but you give the troops, our troops on the front line have already suffered heavy losses." Liu Pei glanced at Liu Yuan dissatisfied, all the people with good feelings let Liu Yuan do it, and everyone is not a person.

"Are you muddy when we are in the Southwest? The 100,000-strong troops of the First Strategic Group Army of the Southwest Special Administrative Region have arrived in Nanjing. ”
