Chapter Eighty-Four: Wicker Lake The gunfire of the North Camp

The year 1929 was not a good year for the rest of the world, but it was a happy year for China, although there were still sporadic wars.

However, from this time on, the entire Republic of China has taken its old body and begun to transform into economic development, and the Chongqing New Area, the Southwest Special Economic Zone, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Regions, and the Northeast Region have all shown tremendous and vigorous vitality.

In particular, the southwest region thinks that it has the support of the powerful elite alliance, and it is like a vigorous heart, showing infinite vitality.

Mao's life is not good, Zhang Zuolin is dying, Yan Xishan has no ambitions, tends to be inflammatory, the Gui system has been destroyed, although Liu Yuan occupies a lot of country, but he is not a rebel, from the formal point of view, although Chiang Kai-shek is not capable, but with the assistance of Yang Yongtai and He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and others, he already has the ability to slowly unify the country.

But Chiang Kai-shek encountered a change that he had not encountered for thousands of years, that is, when the Chinese nation re-emerged, the ethnic minorities around him had the ability to destroy the Chinese nation.

The Japanese are afraid of the rise of the Chinese nation, because this nation is too large, and Japan is too small, and when the Chinese nation rises, Japan's vitality in East Asia will gradually disappear.

Asians are accustomed to studying the history of the Orientals, and they know very well that after the decline of each dynasty, a new and powerful central government emerges, and that their recuperation is followed by the brutal slaughter of the aliens who once insulted them.

This was the case in the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the early Ming Dynasty, so Japan had to eliminate the signs of unification of this nation no matter what.

Originally, according to the plan, Liu Yuan was going to Germany to visit Hitler, the leader of the National Socialist Workers' Party, but various sources of intelligence had already told him that the Japanese were about to move in Northeast China, and he had to take on more responsibilities.

The Military Intelligence Bureau under Dai Li's command was not idle, and as soon as Kenji Dohihara returned to the Northeast, he realized the seriousness of the problem, and Chiang Kai-shek immediately telegraphed Liu Yuan to enter the Central Committee.

No matter what the previous battle was, but Chiang Kai-shek knew very well that Liu Yuan was an out-and-out believer in the prime minister, just like his relationship with Wang Jingwei, and now Wang Jingwei has followed his footsteps, and he believes that Liu Yuan will not change much.

Chiang Kai-shek sat quietly in his chair, He Yingqin and others sat aside, and Chiang Kai-shek assigned a new task to everyone, that is, to come to him every day for a meeting, listen to Chen Bui read the newspaper for an hour, and then everyone discussed the international state form.

Chen Bui was reading a copy of "Wall Street Japan" in his hand.

"Unilever and its strategic partners will continue to invest $15 billion to jointly bail out the market, hoping that the American people will strengthen their confidence ???????"

"Hmph, unfilial students have come and gone for almost 30 billion US dollars, and the annual GDP of the national government is only 20 billion legal currency. With this money, it is better to support national construction. Chiang Kai-shek said angrily.

"Principal, that's not the case, in the United States, it's called political donations, especially Chinese consortia, and the money earned by Americans is not something that can be taken casually, it's just a bribe from officials over the years, and then the auxiliary country can take the money and that thing comes out of the United States." Chen Bui explained.

"Reading the domestic news, those international news are like the whole world is about to collapse, either the people's unemployment rate is high, or the national border dispute, the whole panic." Yu Jishi said with a bitter face.

Chen Bui shook his head and said, "You can't teach a child, this information tells us a lot of things, at least he confirms the prophecy of the auxiliary country, that is, the new world war is not far away." ”

After speaking, he picked up the Times and was about to continue reading it for a while, but was stopped by Chiang Kai-shek.

"Don't talk about the bragging thing that the sun never sets, go back and persuade Liu Yuan to be optimistic about Tibet is a big deal, and the sun sets in the west and we are still so sad about the territory of the Republic of China." Chiang Kai-shek pointed to the map behind him and said.

Chen Bui nodded, wrote down this matter, took out the "Sichuan Daily" and read, "Liu Xiang, chairman of Sichuan Province of the Republic of China, announced that from this year, with a five-year period, the agricultural tax and population tax will be gradually exempted, and at the same time, the people of all localities will be required to go to the local government to verify their identities and receive a new household registration book. ”

Zhang Jingjiang turned his head and asked Chiang Kai-shek, "How is the eldest prince doing?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head, "Almost, Liu Yuan has made money from abroad, and he can be exempted from agricultural taxes, but Chongqing is a lot worse, but industrial enterprises have done a lot by then, at least now they can produce cars." ”

"We in Chongqing should closely follow the steps of the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, stride forward with the core idea of the three righteousnesses, and vigorously support the new economic life movement." Yucheng Evening News.

"We hope that the central government will abandon its prejudices against the Red Party and use the money from the war to build the country, and at the same time, our leaders are willing to negotiate peace with the Nationalist Government led by Mr. Chiang Kai-shek to achieve a second KMT-CCP cooperation." Xinhua News Agency Daily.

Seeing this news, everyone couldn't help but smile, and the cause of suppressing bandits has finally paid off.

"The central government should guard against Japanese aggression and give priority to state affairs." Declare.

"Niang Xipi, these newspapers are a lot of, how many times have I said it, you must first settle inside." Chiang Kai-shek said scoldingly.

"The president is wise, the president is wise." Lin Wei said with a flattering smile.

Everyone looked at them with disdain, but did not speak, and even Chiang Kai-shek scolded, "Wise fart, wise you exempted me from agricultural taxes." ”

"President, I, President." Lin Wei wanted to say something, but Chiang Kai-shek had already set his eyes on Yang Yongtai.

"Sir, how are things going?" Chiang Kai-shek asked respectfully.

Chiang Kai-shek respected Yang Yongtai, Yang Yongtai also respected Chiang Kai-shek, stood up and mastered everything and said, "In the Ruijin area, our Central Army in the west will build a defense line along the line of the Ganjiang River and build pillboxes, and build a defense line along the line of Ji'an, Yongfeng, Le'an, and Lichuan in the north, and the Shaxian camp has been built in the east, and the Central Army of Guangzhou and Fujian has gone south in the south, and the Central Army has initially gathered more than 700,000 troops. ”

He Yingqin stood up and said, "Mr. Yang Yongtai is really scheming, but this line of defense is a little less. ”

"Drive wolves and tigers, if this tiger is too weak, it will be meaningless." Yang Yongtai explained.

"Report to the chairman, Commissioner Liu Yuan has arrived." The guard said.

"Quick, please, please." Chiang Kai-shek stood up to greet him, and the others had to show respect for the princes of one side.

Chiang Kai-shek seems to have become accustomed to finding Liu Yuan when he has a problem, although Liu Yuan has set up his own door, this habit still has not given up, took Liu Yuan's hand, and said, "Fuguo, your prediction back then was correct, damn the Japanese are ready to move in the northeast, and our intelligence officers have discovered that they are preparing to attack in the Shenyang area." And Zhang Zuolin's Northeast Army's combat effectiveness is so poor, how can this be good, if the Japanese are allowed to easily take the three northeastern provinces, from Zhang Zuolin to me, the chairman, should have died to thank the countrymen. ”

Liu Yuan was very surprised, he thought that Chiang Kai-shek would tell him about Dabie Mountain, how could he say a few words of sorry or something, but when he arrived at Chiang Kai-shek, it was as if it had not happened, but Liu Yuan was not in the mood to entangle with him, so he thought silently for a while before saying, "Japan's trip is to implement the mainland policy of Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka Yoshiichi, and at the same time, it is also to hinder the independence of the Republic of China, establish a puppet Manchukuo, and realize the goal of using the three eastern provinces as a springboard for all-out invasion of China." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and said pretending to be profound, "Your thoughts are similar to mine, but you know the Tao, and I spend most of my strength on exterminating the Red Party, and I can't support the Northeast on a large scale, so what should be the affairs of the Northeast." ”

Everyone is used to the days when Chiang Kai-shek snubbed everyone in front of Liu Yuan, but everyone is not as jealous of Liu Yuan as they are of Yang Yongtai, because everyone knows very well that Liu Yuan is no longer something they can shake.

"Although Zhang Zuolin is old, his ambition has not been extinguished, so the students think that the battle can be fought a dozen." Liu Yuan is the main battle faction in the Shaozhuang faction, and his words made the eyes of the young people present full of hope.

Although they can participate in the meeting, they rarely have the opportunity to speak, but it does not prevent them from supporting Liu Yuan with their eyes.

There was even a hooligan who couldn't control his emotions and dismantled the pen there.

Different from the younger generation, the older generation, mainly He Yingqin, is still quite afraid of Japan, especially the old people around Chiang Kai-shek who participated in the Xiaolushan Conference, and they all trembled nervously when they heard about the war with the Japanese.

Looking at the people around him, Chiang Kai-shek's momentum suddenly lost three points, "To what extent, you are not an impatient person, your attitude towards this kind of thing is very important, because you influence a group of people in the army." ”

"Until the three eastern provinces are lost, Japan has been operating from the three eastern provinces for many years, and their intelligence on the three eastern provinces is very detailed, and even many soldiers in the Northeast Army are trained by Japanese instructors, and Japan has sent a large number of trained expatriates to the Northeast, and at the same time, the Kwantung Army has been rooted in the Northeast for ten years, especially this year, the first, eighth, ninth, and tenth, four divisions of the first type, plus the previous two divisions, the number of soldiers is close to 200,000, and most of the Northeast Army has been withdrawn to Beiping, so if there is a war, we will lose the three eastern provinces at a very fast pace. ”

"At that time, I will not go to whoever will sign the unequal treaty, and I have already lost face in front of the people last time." He Yingqin looked at Liu Yuan with a dark face and said.

"A treaty is necessary, but only after we have won a few victories." Liu Yuan continued.

"If we lose the three eastern provinces, the essence of the Northeast will be gone, and what will we do to fight the Japanese." Zhang Jingjiang asked.

"Of course we can fight, our powerful elite alliance has helped the Northeast to complete part of the strategic transfer, of which the equipment of the Shenyang Arsenal has been shipped to Beijing, and a lot of other heavy industries have been shipped away, so in the event of a war, even if Japan quickly takes the three eastern provinces, it will be difficult to increase its strength, and we can use Rehe and Chahar as the base point to counterattack Japan."

Chiang Kai-shek seemed to look at Yang Yongtai for help, Yang Yongtai looked at the map and thought for a while and said, "Transfer 200,000 troops from the encirclement and suppression of the Red Party, go to the Tanggu area to build a defensive line, and be careful that the Japanese cut off our back road." ”

Seeing Yang Yongtai's reply, Chiang Kai-shek nodded, walked to He Yingqin's side, discussed it with He Yingqin, and then walked to Liu Yuan's side with the old men of the Military Commission and said, "The Guoming government has appointed you as the deputy commander of the army, navy and air force of the National Revolutionary Army, the military rank remains unchanged, you are still too young, if you are in the army, you can recruit on the spot, or you can use your troops in the southwest." ”

"Where's the money?" Liu Yuan asked with a dark face.

"Go to your father-in-law, I don't have any money." Chiang Kai-shek smiled bitterly, and his appearance was very pitiful.
