Taking advantage of the temporary suspension of negotiations between the Nationalist Government and Japan, Chen Feng sent invitations to Mao of Yan'an and Li Bai of the Gui family, hoping to have a meeting with them as soon as possible. In order to create pressure on Lao Jiang, Chen Feng was not prepared to hold this meeting in secret, he wanted to talk with great fanfare. Of course, in order not to cause panic in the outside world, this meeting was held in the name of his father's 60th birthday.

Ordinary people don't know and think that Chen Feng, a filial son, really wants to celebrate the 60th birthday of Old Man Chen, but how can someone with a heart not know the twists and turns of the road. Therefore, after the invitation letter was issued, it quickly attracted the attention of all parties, whether the two bigwigs of Yan'an and the Gui family would agree to talk with Chen Feng, a hairy boy.

Many people think that this is impossible, after all, the two bigwigs of the Gui family are famous veterans in the national government, how can they be at the mercy of Chen Feng, a little guy, not to mention that this also involves the Yan'an side. The party must know that the two sides of the road can say that the white knife has entered the red knife and played with their lives, and the contradiction is not ordinarily big, so how can they sit together and talk.

However, things are often so unexpected, just when people are talking, Yan'an was the first to announce to the outside world that Yan'an's Zhu Mao was invited by Chen Feng, the commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, to attend the birthday banquet of Old Man Chen in a week, and then Boss Li of the Gui Department also announced that he would attend Old Man Chen's birthday banquet on time.

What's even more surprising is that the dragon boss in Yunnan also announced that although he had no time to go to Saibei to celebrate Old Man Chen's birthday due to his busy official duties, his assistant Li Yunfeng would go to Saibei instead of him.

It's been a day. The two bigwigs of Qingma and Ningma, who are entrenched in the northwest, also announced that they would attend the birthday banquet of Mr. Chen on time, and they would also bring a birthday gift from Sheng Shicai, chairman of Xinjiang Province.

In addition, Song Zheyuan of the Northwest Army, Sun Weiru of the Small Northwest Army, and Yan Xishan of the Jin Suijun also announced that they would accept Commander Chen's invitation and would attend the birthday banquet on time.

With the reactions of the bigwigs from all sides, Lao Jiang, who was not calm in the first place, was even more uncalm, his brother had always been worried about which warlords the Turkish Communist Party would join forces with him, but he didn't expect that now they are not only joining forces, but also so blatant, isn't this a slap in the face?

Chongqing. Chiang Mansion.

"Smack!" The guards outside were terrified. This is already the sixth teacup of sacrifice today. Now Sir Dai, they haven't arrived yet, and I don't know how many teacups the principal will break today.

"Stepping on the ground" saw Wang Shihe walking in from the outside, the guards were overjoyed, and they listened to the persuasion of Chief Wang. With Chief Wang, I guess the headmaster wouldn't be so angry!

"The headmaster lost his temper again?" Obviously, Wang Shihe already knew about the movement just now. When he came to the door, he didn't go in immediately. Instead, he asked the guard in a low voice.

The guard didn't dare to speak, just nodded slightly!

"Who's out there!"

"The principal is me, Shihe!"

"Come in!"

When Wang Shihe came in, he saw that the entire office was in a mess. The floor was littered with broken porcelain and tea-soaked papers, and Chairman Chiang's desk was bare at this time, apparently just swept by old Chiang.

"Shihe, have you been notified?" Easing the sullenness in his heart, Lao Jiang asked in a deep voice.

"It's all been notified, Minister He, Minister Chen, Minister Wang, Dean Kong and President Dai are all on the way, and they will arrive soon!" Wang Shihe replied.

"Well, they came and took them directly to my study, and I went in first to change my clothes!" Lao Jiang said with a frown.

"Yes!"

Soon, He Yingqin, Kong Xiangxi, Dai Li, Chen Cheng and others all arrived, and under the guidance of Wang Shihe, these bigwigs all went directly into Lao Jiang's study, and then waited for the arrival of the old man.

A few minutes later, the old man, dressed in a long robe, came to the study and sat down at the huge desk. Looking at everyone, the old man asked in a deep voice, "Yunong, how are things going over there?" ”

"Back to the commission, it's still in progress! Our side demands that the issue of recognizing Manchukuo and the garrison be left as an unsolved case for the time being after peace is achieved before negotiations can be held, and even if there are some difficulties in dealing with the aftermath of the Wang Zhaoming administration, it will not become a decisive obstacle. Although the purpose of the issue of stationing troops in North China is to defend against the Communists, it is hoped that it is best not to mention the word 'North China' for the first time. For now, it will be carried out in secret, and it will be dealt with later when the signing of the anti-communist agreement is discussed. On the surface, this is the case, but in fact it is a harsh crusade against the communist army. However, the Japanese side demanded an armistice, then declared that the Communists were pro-Japanese, and then held peace talks. It has also been repeatedly proposed to further study the holding of high-level talks. Dai replied.

"Niang Xipi, the little devil is taking the party-state and me Jiang someone as a fool, and further study and hold high-level talks is not to ask me Jiang someone to come forward to talk to them in person, it's really Niang Xipi!"

"Commission, just now the Japanese sent another telegram, and after the high-level of the Japanese army base camp discussed, a new plan was proposed!" Dai Lian said again.

"What's new?"

Dai said: "The new plan proposed by the Japanese has a total of six articles, the first of which is that the government can not recognize the puppet Manchukuo, but it cannot interfere in the status quo in the northeast region. The second is that Japan may not station troops in North China, but Hebei, Chahar, Suiyuan, and Beiping must establish autonomous governments under the guidance of Japanese advisers. The third is that Shanghai becomes a free port. Article 4 is the permanent cession of Taiwan and its affiliated islands to Japan. Article 5 The two sides shall carry out friendly cooperation, economic cooperation, and joint development of China's resources. Article 6: Jointly suppress the CCP and prevent the redness, and at the same time severely punish the pro-CCP element Chen Feng. In exchange, Japan will withdraw its troops from North, Central and South China within three months, and at the same time support the weapons and equipment of the government's 30 infantry divisions at one time, and at least 30 divisions of weapons and equipment can be provided in the future, as long as the government uses mines as collateral. In addition, the Japanese would order the Nanjing Restoration government to merge with the party-state, and guarantee that Mr. Wang would not pose a threat to the commission. In addition to these, the Japanese government also pledged to provide 500 million yen of interest-free loans to the party-state, and colleagues assisted the government in completing the crusade against various factions in the country and establishing a truly unified national government. In the end, if there is a need, Japan will directly send troops to assist the party-state to complete the reunification! ”

"Do the Japanese really say that?"

"Yes, it's true! This is a telegram personally sent by the Japanese negotiator Imai Daisa, and there should be no mistake. Dai said.

Lao Jiang was moved, in all fairness, it can be seen from this plan that the Japanese have made huge concessions to maintain the status quo in Northeast China, and North China has basically returned to the way it was before the "77 Incident", and the third and fourth articles are unacceptable, especially the port of Shanghai has become a free port.

But these two conditions are not impossible to make concessions, take Taiwan as an example, it has been occupied by the Japanese for more than 35 years, and it has been ceded to Japan during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if they do not agree to cede it, it is not the territory of the Japanese.

As for Shanghai, although it is a little reluctant, it can still be given up in comparison, after all, the Japanese can't help but get some benefits after fighting for so long, since they agree to negotiate with the Japanese, they must be prepared to be slaughtered!

What really moved Lao Chiang's heart was the benefits promised by the Japanese, the withdrawal of troops was nothing, after all, this was the main purpose of the negotiations between the two sides, and the important thing was the following points, the equipment of 60 divisions, and an interest-free loan of 500 million yen, which was what Lao Chiang wanted most.

If the Japanese can really provide 60 infantry divisions with weapons and equipment, plus more than a dozen Japanese armor divisions that have been trained now, then he will have 75 fully equipped Japanese armor divisions, 20 German armor divisions, and 30 domestic weapons divisions. Whether it is the Gui Army, the Dian Army, the Jin Sui Army or the Tu Communist Party in Yan'an, it is not for him to be cleaned up by Jiang someone.

However, those local warlords Lao Jiang have never regarded them as the main opponents, he is most worried and afraid of the strong army in Saibei, as soon as he thinks of the little guy in Saibei, Lao Jiang's good mood is completely destroyed.

At the same time, thinking of Chen Feng, Lao Jiang's fanatical expression was paused, he let out a long breath, and asked again: "How is the situation in Saibei!" ”

It is gratifying to unify the whole country, but Lao Jiang knows very well that once he fails, he will fall into the abyss of no return, and there will be no possibility of turning over at that time, and more importantly, the efforts of these decades will not only come to naught, but will even be nailed to the cross of shame, and then be poked in the backbone by future generations and scolded traitors!

"Now Zhu Mao of Yan'an, Chief Li of the Gui Department, Chairman Yan of Shanxi, Chairman Ma of Ningxia, Chairman Ma of Qinghai, and Chairman Sun of the Small Northwest Army announced that they would personally go to Saibei, and Chairman Long of Yunnan, Chairman Sheng of Xinjiang, Yang Sen of the Sichuan Army, Song Zheyuan of the 29th Route Army and others will send representatives to go, and these people are already on the way!"

"Niang Xipi, what are they going to do, rebellion! When the national disaster is at hand, these people still form gangs for their own selfish interests, what kind of system have they become! Lao Jiang said angrily.

"Respectful and rhetorical, tell me whether we accept or reject the terms of peace talks put forward by the Japanese? How to solve the matter in Saibei? Lao Jiang asked loudly.

Lao Jiang never thought that there would be so many people to respond to Chen Feng's call before, he had always thought that Chen Feng and the entire Eighth War Zone were just a corner of peace, although the combat effectiveness of the troops was good, but it was not enough to be afraid, after all, the corner terrain in the north of the country restrained him, and the most important thing was that Chen Feng was a warlord who had just risen, and he had few allies to rely on.

Compared to this, he Jiang has too many advantages, even if he starts a war with Chen Feng's subordinates, Lao Jiang thinks that his chances of winning are much greater, after all, the various resources he can mobilize are far more than Chen Feng. Now it seems that this is not the case at all, just an invitation, there will be so many forces to go, this kind of appeal is really terrifying, Lao Jiang is now in addition to anger, but more is deeply afraid.
