"Chairman of the Committee, General Xue Yue has sent an urgent telegram for you to read." Late at night, Lin Wei walked into Chiang Kai-shek's bedroom and whispered at the door.

Chiang Kai-shek had just slept for a while, and when he heard that there was an urgent military situation, he hurriedly got up, and it was very difficult to fight against the Red Party this time, and Chiang Kai-shek could be said to have suffered day and night, and he was afraid that the Red Party would cause too great losses to the Central Army in the southwest region, and from then on the southwest could compete with Liu Yuan's strength and strength.

Although Soong Meiling was very reluctant, she still helped Chiang Kai-shek get dressed. Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly ran out of the bedroom, and Lin Wei handed Chiang Kai-shek a glass of water.

Although Chiang Kai-shek knew that Xue Yue was a little arrogant, he was a person who knew the importance of Lu Dao, otherwise Sun Yat-sen would not have chosen him to protect him. Since Xue Yue sent him an urgent telegram at this time, there must have been something important.

But he didn't turn on the telegram immediately, because he knew very well that his current state was very unstable, because he was too anxious, his heart was fluctuating, and if he read the telegram rashly at this time, it was likely to affect his judgment.

Chiang Kai-shek sat for a quarter of an hour before picking up the telegram, he was ready, as long as the battle at the front did not go well, then he would immediately fly to Chengdu, and in any case let Liu Yuan send troops to deal with the Red Party troops.

"Chairman of the Committee, in accordance with your instructions on suppressing bandits, the Central Army of our Southwest Theater besieged 40,000 elite soldiers of the Red Party's Su Yu Regiment in Xishui at 5 o'clock this afternoon, and has completed the division of the battlefield, and the Su Yu Army can be broken at the snap of a finger, and now requests the Central Army to mobilize military fighters at Changsha Airport to carry out strategic bombing of the Red Party in the encirclement, so as to reduce the losses of the Central Army, and at the same time, I hope that the Central Army can temporarily plan more troops to the Southwest Theater, if the number of troops exceeds 800,000, He was willing to fight for the Central Army to promote peace. ”

The telegram is not long, but after Chiang Kai-shek read it, he felt that his whole body was boiling, who is Su Yu? He was the most capable general of the Red Party, and although his status in the Red Party was not high, his military command art was absolutely first-class. If the 40,000 people of his legion are annihilated, it will be more serious than cutting off the arms of the Red Party, and the Red Party will only have Peng Dehuai's Legion and Lin Biao's Legion, and Peng Dehuai's Legion will lose at least more than 20,000 people because of the fierce battle with Liu Yuan, then only Lin Biao's Legion can fight, then even if they succeed in the Long March, then the army they control can only be about 30,000, and 30,000 people are nothing compared to their own army of more than 1.7 million, so the next problem they need to solve, It seems that only the southwest remains.

Chiang Kai-shek gritted his teeth, he felt that he was very sober now, and immediately said to Lin Wei, "Immediately convene the National Military Committee, and all members of the committee in Nanjing must attend." ”

When Chiang Kai-shek gave this order, it was already past one o'clock in the morning, and He Yingqin and Chen Cheng were the first to arrive at the office building of the Nationalist Government.

Not long after, Li Zongren, Chen Shaokuan and others also came to the office building, and everyone looked at Chiang Kai-shek with a happy face blankly, wondering why Chiang Kai-shek suddenly summoned everyone here.

"Let me tell you the good news, Chen Cheng, the supreme commander of the Southwest Theater, has surrounded more than 40,000 people of Su Yu's regiment, which has the highest combat effectiveness of the Red Party. It won't be long before the Red Party will be history. Chiang Kai-shek spoke so loudly that it was like thunder, causing the entire conference room to buzz.

The pen in the hand of the female stenographer sitting next to Chiang Kai-shek fell to the ground with a snap, and Chiang Kai-shek immediately turned around and said, "Comrade Shen Anna, what's wrong with you." For this female stenographer beside him, Chiang Kai-shek liked it very much, and his identity was innocent, he was born in a scholarly family, and he was deeply trusted by Chiang Kai-shek.

"Chairman, I just heard that you are going to eliminate the Red Party, and since then our Kuomintang has solved the big problem of the henchmen, so I fell to the ground in a moment of excitement." Shen Anna's face was full of tears, and she was very emotional.

"Principal, Comrade Shen Anna is the best female member of our Three Youth League." He Jinhan thought that Chiang Kai-shek was going to trouble this female employee, so he immediately stood up and relieved the female employee. In fact, he didn't know this Shen Anna at all, but he saw that this little girl was beautiful, and he was guilty. I hope to take this opportunity to get closer to the woman next to Chiang Kai-shek.

"Ha Luha, such a loyal Kuomintang fighter should not be just a member of the regiment, I will personally write a letter of recommendation another day for him to join the Kuomintang." Chiang Kai-shek was very happy, and casually agreed to let Shen Anna join the Kuomintang.

It must be known that since Wang Jingwei stood on the same front with Chiang Kai-shek, he had very strict requirements for party affairs, and ordinary people did not want to join the Kuomintang at all. This is very similar to Liu Yuan's alliance of powerful elites, Chiang Kai-shek was also very happy about Wang Jingwei's blind development of the Kuomintang, with the ups and downs of these years, Chiang Kai-shek also discovered the influence of elites on this society, and the expansion of the number of one did not have much effect.

All the bigwigs of the Nationalist Government here did not take this episode to heart at all, and when they heard that Xue Yue had besieged the main force of the Red Party in the Xi Shui generation, they were very shocked.

In their impression, Mao's ability to lead troops is very powerful. I don't know how this time there was such a big change. It was surrounded by Xue Yue, and as long as the central air force cooperated, it would be able to eliminate the main force of the Red Party, so the next thing should be carefully considered, especially for the southwest issue, now the Central Army is at least more than 500,000 on the way to encircle and intercept the Red Party, if you add the more than 400,000 Central Army controlled by Xue Yue, then there will be more than 900,000 Central Army in the southwest region, so it will be easy to solve the southwest problem.

He Yingqin was the first to understand Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, stood up and said, "Is the principal preparing a million-strong army of Chen soldiers to the southwest and forcing Liu Yuan to return to the central government by force." He Yingqin's words are very direct, since Liu Yuan entered the southwest, although it nominally belongs to the central government, it has formed a situation of separation.

Especially in the two battles of Dabie Mountain, the southwest had an extremely bad impact on the authority of the Kuomintang central government, and even teenagers knew that there was a southwest king in Sichuan. You must know that although there are not many warlords who talk to Chiang Kai-shek non-stop, there are still a few left in the Republic of China, including Yan Xishan, Chen Jitang, etc., but there is no one with Liu Yuan's huge strength, and the speed of development in the southwest makes everyone here feel a huge threat.

In particular, Liu Yuan successively annexed half of Yunnan, Qinghai, and Gansu, and possessed extremely long strategic depth, coupled with rapid economic and military strength, and even the central government had to call the southwest region the Southwest Special Zone to appease Liu Yuan. Now that a million troops have gathered in the southwest region, it would be great if the southwest problem could be solved, and it would be not easy to know that it is not easy for Lu Dao to mobilize a million troops, and Chiang Kai-shek wanted to settle this matter peacefully with Liu Yuan earlier, because it was not easy for the Central Army to mobilize troops once.

But Xue Yue created an opportunity for him, that is, to end the Red Party problem in the southwest region, then the Central Army solved the Sichuan Army in the name of justice.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said, "Originally, I didn't think about doing anything to the southwest region, after all, Liu Yuan is my student, and he has great merits for the country, so this operation, I am the right thing and not the right person." If Liu Yuan obeys the Central Committee, then I will personally appoint him Minister of National Defense and a special general of the National Revolutionary Army. ”

"The principal is cautious, Fu Guo said that he is in the southwest to build a rear for the country, to prepare for the future resistance against Japan, the day the war breaks out, he will personally lead the Sichuan army out of Sichuan, leaving only a part of the reserve troops in Sichuan, will not threaten our strategic rear Chongqing." Zeng Kuoqing looked around, there are not many people who are ready to intercede for Liu Yuan, at this time he can only stand up by himself, in the Huangpu Shaozhuang faction, Liu Yuan is sacred, although Chiang Kai-shek is their nominal principal, but it is Liu Yuan who really injects soul into Huangpu, Zeng Kuoqing does not want this kind of thing to happen.

"I agree with the president's opinion, Sichuan's development is too fast, it has exceeded the control of the central government, and Sichuan has repeatedly kept the orders of the central government, lying on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to snore, I think it is necessary for our Central Army to send troops to the southwest, otherwise we should mobilize the best troops to the southwest, and fight a big war with the southwest army to promote peace." He Jinhan's grudge against Liu Yuan has not been a day and a half, and he saw that Chiang Kai-shek was moved, so he stood up and spoke.

Chiang Kai-shek looked at He Yingqin, He Yingqin shook his head and said, "The matter of the Red Party has not been resolved, and if we fall out with Liu Yuan in this matter, then we will offend two sets of forces, which is inconsistent with our strategy." ”

"The Red Party has come to an end, and now the main problem is Liu Yuan, and I have been reading Marx recently, just to see what magic he has, and I found that the contradictions in it are really classic.

Some time ago, the main contradiction between the Japanese invasion of China was the contradiction between the Chinese nation and the Japanese Yamato nation, so we had to unite all the forces that could be united, and at that time we could tolerate all kinds of warlords. But after Japan signed a peace treaty with us, then the contradiction changed, and the main contradiction became the contradiction between us and the Red Party.

The Red Party and our Kuomintang did not share the same sky, and although Liu Yuan was divided into one side, after all, he was also a Kuomintang, so we had to focus on suppressing bandits at that time.

However, the main force of the Red Party has already been surrounded by us and can be broken with a snap of a finger, so the next main contradiction is the contradiction between us and the Southwest Special Administrative Region, so it is necessary to solve the problem of the Southwest Special Administrative Region with the help of a million central troops. ”

"I have a report from Liu Yuan here, he wants to stay in the southwest seriously, then I will promise him for the time being, and then let the troops continue to advance, assemble in the southwest region, and then force him, I don't think Liu Yuan can't understand the situation." After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he looked at Yang Yongtai, because he remembered Yang Yongtai's book of ten thousand words.

Since I left the school, I have taken a closer look at the places in Jiangxi and gradually realized that the Red Party is not to worry. The difficulty lies in the fact that the Red Party and the people in the 'bandit area' have become one family, and the two join hands, which is really a serious problem. The people and the Red Party have become one family, because the local officials in our country are declining, so that the people are used by the Red Party, and the government should implement the new Jiangxi policy to divide the people, and use the army to break them out of Jiangxi.

Since then, it has been like a fish out of water, and it has not been long since he was born.

This strategy can be said to be the biggest surprise since Yang Yongtai gave Chiang Kai-shek to suppress bandits, the previous three times of suppressing bandits were unsuccessful, but when he came to Yang Yongtai, it was decided in a battle, and Liu Yuan once praised Yang Yongtai for his talent in Wolong, so he trusted Yang Yongtai very much.

"Chairman of the Committee, after General Xue Yue eliminated the Su Yu Corps, we can indulge the remnants of the Red Party into the Southwest Special Region, and then establish a camp in Chongqing, and organize the Central Army to follow into Sichuan, where the Red Party goes, where will we control?"

"After Liu Yuan entered Sichuan, he took the method of boiling frogs in warm water, and laughed at all the original warlords in Sichuan, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to enter Sichuan, and as long as Liu Yuan sees our intentions clearly, then Liu Yuan solves the Red Party, and we will have no excuse to enter Sichuan." Li Zongren's attitude towards Liu Yuan was relatively neutral, and he himself was a warlord, but the Gui faction had become history, and although its influence in Guangxi was still great, as long as Chiang Kai-shek did not give him a chance, it would be difficult for the Gui faction to rise again.

"I still have a plan." Yang Yongtai looked at everyone and frowned, worried about the strength of Liu Yuan's subordinates, and said very confidently.

"The plan will be settled." Chiang Kai-shek looked at Yang Yongtai excitedly, it was really Mr. Wolong, and his shot was really extraordinary.

"As far as I know, although Liu Yuan occupies the land of Sichuan, he is really good for veterans, but his attitude towards small forces is very average, and Liu Yuan has greatly disarmed and cut all the troops of the original warlords, so many small forces are very dissatisfied with Liu Yuan. However, due to Liu Yuan's strong strength and the support of the big warlords in Sichuan, those small warlords can only swallow their anger, but once there is interference from external forces, the original balance of Sichuan will definitely be broken. Yang Yongtai looked at He Guoguang with a smile.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, thinking in their hearts that this Yang Yongtai was really vicious, how much effort did Liu Yuan spend to appease Sichuan, and even in order to stabilize Sichuan, in the days when he went abroad, a large number of troops were mobilized to clean up the unsatisfactory forces, and now Yang Yongtai actually wanted to make peaceful Sichuan chaotic again, but what did he mean when he looked at He Guoguang, could it be that He Guoguang had something to use.

He Guoguang, a lieutenant general of the Nationalist Government, was one of Chiang Kai-shek's think tanks.

He Guoguang stood up with a confident smile on his face, he is also a veteran of the national government, and now he finally has the opportunity to show himself, and he stood up and said at the signal of Yang Yongtai.

"We can take advantage of the opportunity of encircling and suppressing the Red Party to send a staff group to Chongqing to alleviate Liu Yuan's precaution against us, and then use this staff group as an opportunity to establish a camp in Chongqing, and then use the camp in Chongqing as the basis to inspect the old headquarters of the Sichuan Army and issue a number to them in accordance with the sequence of the National Revolutionary Army. Such a big thing can be done. He Guoguang said a few words, and everyone saw the chaotic scene in Sichuan.

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes lit up, stepped forward, took He Guoguang's hand and said, "If this matter is successful, it will definitely be recorded as Mr.'s first merit." "Chiang Kai-shek can come to this day because of Liu Yuan's inadvertent influence on him.

If Chiang Kai-shek looked at traditional culture in the past, it would have been fine, but seeing that Liu Yuan could talk to foreign guests and couldn't say a word, this made Chiang Kai-shek's heart very unbalanced, and he wanted to know what kind of Western culture made Liu Yuan so good, so Chiang Kai-shek often taught himself Western culture.

He had to study English almost every day, and read Western books, such as Capital and War, which became almost something he had to read after dinner, and more than a dozen professors taught jointly, which made Chiang Kai-shek make great progress.

The more Chiang Kai-shek progressed, the more he realized that he was small, so the more humble he became, especially when dealing with the literati and thinkers under his command.

He Guoguang saw that there was no trace of falsehood in Chiang Kai-shek's expression, and his original serious mind became more serious, and said to Chiang Kai-shek, "Chairman of the National People's Congress, I am afraid that I will not be able to do this myself, I hope you can allow Mr. Yang Yongtai to walk with me. ”

"Good. That's it. Once Chiang Kai-shek set the tone, he would not allow it to change, and the next step was to discuss the need to complete the matter.

Chiang Kai-shek saw that everyone was a little tired from discussing all the time, so he asked everyone to adjourn the meeting for ten minutes, and some of them sat directly on the chairs and smoked, which made Shen Anna very uncomfortable, and said to Chiang Kai-shek, "Chairman, the smell of smoke is too big, can I go out for a walk?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said, "I also hate these people smoking, but I can't help it, they are all old soldiers, they can't be changed, you go, but don't forget to work on time." Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said.

Shen Anna took the water cup and walked to the water room, and the master of the water room looked at Shen Anna with a smile, "The chairman of the committee in the middle of the night also makes people live in peace." ”

"Sir, it's all about state affairs. Don't talk about you, aren't we busy too? The two of them faced each other, and Shen Anna left with the water glass, and even the agents of the Military Intelligence Agency did not notice that although Shen Anna was walking with the same water cup, it was obvious that this water cup was much newer than the one just now.

Before Chiang Kai-shek's order for the fighters at the Changsha military airport to take off had not yet been delivered, Li Kenong sent the message to Mao overnight, who held a telegram in his hand and shouted, "It's not good, Xue Boling wants to break the sword in my hand, what should I do." ”
