The British are indeed very bad, as soon as they heard that the Soviet Union had a conflict with the United States, not only did they not mean to settle the situation and maintain unity, but they constantly fanned the wind and lit the ghost fire in order to prevent chaos in the world. Churchill quickly gave Roosevelt an idea to let the United States card a card to aid the Soviet Union, so that the Russians would know that it was powerful.

Roosevelt was skeptical about this suggestion, for although the United States and the Soviet Union had a discord on the Chinese issue, small frictions and small contradictions did not affect the overall situation, and this "small misunderstanding" was still made by someone who was tired of Chiang. If he hadn't been in a hurry to go to North China to pick peaches, the Soviet Union would not have flipped the table.

Therefore, in Roosevelt's view, the most important thing now is not to lift the table and intensify the contradictions, but to quickly communicate and mediate, not to mention resolving the contradictions, at least to compromise with each other. As a result, he rejected Churchill's suggestion and ordered negotiations with the Soviet Union to continue.

But Roosevelt really underestimated the British's ability to do bad things, and he wanted to put out the fire, while MI6 did what added fuel to the fire under Churchill's instructions. Li Erwen hinted to Lao Chiang that he could only go to Hebei, nothing major would happen, and even if something happened, Britain would be willing to give moral support to the Minmin government.

Such a hint naturally made Lao Jiang overjoyed, what he wanted to do most was ****, now the British have been on his side, instructing him to stir up the wind and rain, what are you afraid of, on! Isn't it just a few dirt roads, what is there to be afraid of?

However, Lao Jiang is a thief, although he is determined to make trouble, but he also knows that this matter is too sensitive, just in case, it is better not to take action in person. So he wrote a letter to Yan Laoxi and asked Laoxi to take his team to Hebei to do something. And Yan Laoxi has also had a rather unsatisfactory life over the years, and after easily losing most of Shanxi, part of his team was active in southern Jinnan, and the other part was wandering around in the Zhangbei area. And not only Jinnan but also Zhangbei can be regarded as poor mountains and bad waters, the grievances of life!

Especially after the Soviet Union directly aided the T Communists, his team in the Zhangbei area Fu Yisheng basically maintained peaceful coexistence with the T Communists, and this time after the Soviet army entered North China from Outer Mongolia, Fu Yisheng shrank and ignored himself.

This time, after he was ready to "pass through" North China, he specially sent a telegram to Fu Yisheng, asking his subordinates to go south to take over the local power, but to Yan Laoxi's disappointment, Fu Yisheng directly pretended to be deaf and dumb and refused to carry out his order.

This made Lao Xi a little annoyed, and said directly to the left and right: "Yisheng's courage is too small to do big things!" ”

Of course, even without Fu Yisheng's cooperation, Yan Laoxi made up his mind to go to Hebei to get a piece of the pie. In the past seven years, his Jin army has not made great progress due to the "tired by the War of Resistance", and in the future, the War of Resistance will be won, and Lao Jiang will inevitably have to suppress bandits and devour their local factions, and if you want to survive in the scenery, you must have territory, just Shanxi is not enough, not to mention taking the entire North China, half of it must be obtained, right?

Yan Laoxi thinks that the T Communist Party has nothing to fear, in order to win him over the War of Resistance, it was not to demarcate the sphere of influence of the two sides, and now the T Communist Party has to deal with the devils in front of him, where does the extra energy come from to deal with him, and he has to take this great opportunity to eat a big piece of fat!

Warlords are so "simple and direct", always taking their own interests as the first priority, and as for the national righteousness, it has to be put to the back. Yan Laoxi gathered his troops, took advantage of the Japanese army in North China to be attracted to Hebei and Henan, and went out of Ji County to conquer Linfen, and then went all the way to the east, recovered Changzhi, and then went north to Licheng to recover most of the southern Jin region in one fell swoop.

This journey was quite smooth for Yan Laoxi, the puppet army saw him and fled, and a small number of Japanese troops were not the opponent of his large army. Anyway, he's been quite hilarious along the way. If Yan Laoxi stopped in Shanxi and did not go to Hebei to make trouble, then neither the T Republic nor the Soviet Red Army would like to ignore him. But after recovering Jiexiu and Heshun, this goods has no interest in continuing to go north to recover Jinzhong and Taiyuan. There is no other reason, Taiyuan City has strong defenses and a large number of devils, so it is not so easy to deal with, so he went directly to Xingtai and Shun.

Xingtai is located between Shijiazhuang and Handan, as mentioned earlier, the T Gong is fighting a big battle in Shijiazhuang and Handan, and Xingtai is an important transportation hub between Shijiazhuang and Handan. Once this place is occupied by Yan Laoxi, how will the battle of the T Communist Party be fought? What's more, Xingtai has long been liberated by the T Communist Party, and it is now the location of the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. No matter how you look at Yan Laoxi's appearance, it is not a good person.

So the T Communist Party reacted immediately, and immediately contacted Yan Laoxi through his old relationship and told him not to come to Xingtai, but he almost didn't directly say that he was not welcome here. But Yan Laoxi was very interesting, he said that he came to be the receiving officer under the instructions of the central government, but asked T to get out of here.

This contradiction became irreconcilable, and even affected the determination of the southern T to fight Okamura Ninji for a time. Just when the T Communist Party tried to do Yan Laoxi's work for the last time and continue to maintain the previous state of peaceful coexistence. Li Xiaofeng spoke: "If he doesn't listen, then cut him!" If it hurts him, he'll be honest! ”

Yan Laoxi was indeed dishonest, and he didn't take the persuasion and warning of the T Communist Party seriously at all, in view of this, the Military Committee of the T Communist Party quickly made a decision to clean him up as long as Yan Laoxi came to commit it! As for the Soviet side, as soon as the T Communist Party made up its mind, it sent bombers and attack planes to attack Lao Xi's troops, blowing it up on his back!

And that's not all, the Soviet side immediately sent a note to the ambassador and solemnly warned: "Any further intrusion into the established battlefield in Hebei will be regarded by the Soviet Government as a provocation by force and hostile action, and will be dealt with categorically!" ”

Yan Laoxi's loss was not big, but he was really shocked, before Lao Jiang had been encouraging him to tell him, "Lao Maozi is just bluffing, he doesn't dare to fight at all, you just stride forward!" ”

And now the Soviet Union is not only fighting, but also shouting and killing in the open, this reaction caught Yan Laoxi off guard, and he hurriedly retreated westward. and informed Lao Jiang, "I was bullied by Maozi, you hurry up and help ask for an explanation!" ”

In addition to protesting a few sentences, Lao Jiang could only cry and find his godfather, hoping that his godfather would help him find this field. Yingmei, as the old Jiang godfather, was also frightened on the one hand, and worried on the other. Yes, the British are also worried, the fundamental reason why they dared to fan the wind and light the ghost fire before was that since the Soviet Union had declared war on Japan, they did not dare to maintain the previous tough attitude in the case of fighting on two fronts, and they had to keep a low profile. In this case, how can you get out of a bad breath if you don't bully?

However, the facts completely exceeded the expectations of the British, and the Soviet Union not only failed to recognize the weakness of the situation, but became more and more powerful, not only intervening directly in the affairs of China, but also simply ignoring the warnings of Britain and the United States. This wind is not going in the right direction!

Churchill also muttered in his heart, can't figure out that the Soviet Union is a paper tiger? It's really fearless, so it's inevitable to stop and take a closer look. And the lack of news from Britain made Lao Jiang also drop the cup: "Niang Xipi!" The British really say one thing and do another, and they can't be trusted! ”

But speaking of which, this is also an afterthought, since Lao Jiang knows that the British mother Xipi is not trustworthy, why did he fall for evil again? In the final analysis, it is still opportunistic psychology and just trying to take advantage.

Of course, this matter can't end with one or two sentences of Niang Xipi, the matter has already made a big difference. You can't pretend that it didn't happen or didn't see it, how can you solve it? This time, both Britain and the United States have the same attitude, that is, negotiations, and they must be negotiated quickly, the sooner the better!

U.S. Secretary of State Condell. Hull, British Foreign Secretary Robert Brown. Anthony. Aiden rushed to Chongqing with 100,000 people and issued an initiative to the Soviet government to hold a four-party meeting in Chongqing.

Trotsky did not immediately reply to this invitation, but convened an emergency meeting of ******, and after some discussion, he decided that the four-party talks were inherently undesirable, at least the five-party talks that included the T Communist Party.

"The Russians refused to hold a four-way meeting in Chongqing?" Hull asked Aiden, "Why is that?" ”

Aiden replied with a blank face: "The Russians said that it should be a five-party meeting, and the T Communist Party must be added to the talks." ”

In the eyes of the Americans, the T Communist Party is not qualified to go to such a stage at all, on what basis? How can you, an opposition party in China, talk to us big hooligans at the same table. We will not talk about the most basic principles of international relations.

Hull asked angrily: "Tell the Russians that this is wishful thinking!" ”

Obviously, at this time, whether it is the British or the Americans, they all think that the Soviet Union is a little excessive, and you don't want to see Chiang Kai-shek, but you must save face for the British government and the US government, right?

After some discussion, Mr. Secretary of State and His Excellency the Foreign Secretary agreed: "The Soviet Union must be put under pressure!" ”

Soon the two countries kept a unified voice and declared: "This is a matter between the governments of the four countries, and I hope that the Soviet side will respect the joint decision of the allies!" ”

But to their surprise, the Soviet side replied unusually quickly: "Is the Soviet Union part of the allies?" If the answer is yes, then respect the decision of the USSR. If it's negative, then there's nothing to talk about! ”

This was almost a rhythm that tore their faces, and the British and Americans, although they were so angry, had to back down half a step again: "Of course, the Soviet Union is an important member of the allies, and both the British and American governments respect the opinion of the Soviet government. , the Soviet government could make reasonable demands on the basis of respect for the laws of international relations. ”

This seems to be a concession, but in essence it still means the same thing, as the basis for respecting the law of international relations, that is, that the T Communist Party is not qualified to come to the negotiating table. That is to say, the demands of the T Communist Party can be conveyed by you in the Soviet Union at most.

However, this was strongly resisted by the Soviet side: "How can the people directly concerned avoid discussing the Chinese issue?" The Soviet government has never intended to interfere in China's internal affairs, and if it weren't for the fact that some forces were making too much trouble, the Soviet government would not have been interested in participating in any China conference. Huaxia's problems should always be discussed by both sides of the dispute, right? What is one side aside? ”

Not only did it refute the erroneous arguments of Britain and the United States, but the Soviet side also put forward its own opinion: "The main body of the Chinese issue is to scrape the communists, and the relevant differences and disputes should be discussed and negotiated between the two sides." What is the involvement of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union? We believe that Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union have only one responsibility on this issue, and that is to build a fair and just negotiating platform so that the CCP can resolve its differences in a peaceful manner. This is not a meeting of hooligans, and it is not a robber sharing the spoils! ”

The Soviet rebuttal embarrassed Britain and the United States a little, of course, that is, only a little embarrassed. Because they are still hooligans at heart. And now that the Soviet Union has made it clear that it will not cooperate, which makes them a little frightened and continue to press? International public opinion is not very good. And if it really falls out, it's no good.

After some urgent discussion of the advantages, Britain and the United States could only give in and said: "I fully agree with the opinion of the Soviet government, and both Britain and the United States are willing to contribute to peace in China." We are willing to invite representatives of the Communist Party of T to Chongqing for negotiations. ”

Of course, we all know that this is just lip service. In fact, these two are so angry that they are gritting their teeth and are trying to find a way to make things difficult for the T Republic and the Soviet Union!

At Learwin's suggestion, this dilemma was quickly implemented, and Chiang announced that he would invite Taizu to Chongqing for a meeting, and the two sides had an open and frank meeting. He also said that he couldn't wait!

This trick is insidious enough, Taizu doesn't go, Britain and the United States and Lao Chiang will definitely shout that the Republic and the Soviet Union are not sincere, otherwise why don't you come? If you go, Lao Jiang's character is there, what if he is under house arrest Taizu?

Faced with such a situation, Taizu was as calm as ever, and soon said: "This meeting is going to go!" "He even said he could go right away!

Of course, Taizu has always been generous, but his atmosphere does not mean that others do not help with a few insurances. Soon Li Xiaofeng stood up and spoke: "The British and American sides and the Kuomintang must guarantee Mr. Mao's safety and freedom of life, and the Soviet government will not agree to Mr. Mao's adventure until it receives a formal commitment, after all, Mr. Jiang's character is quite unreliable, hum......"

"Do you think Mr. Mao dares to come?" Aiden asked Learvin, "Is it a pretense that the Soviet Union is pretending to leave a way out for Mr. Mao not to come?" ”

Learvin shook his head and said, "I know Andre. Petrovich, he is the person who always surprises us. We thought he would do it, but he did. I think it's more likely to come. ”

"Really?" Aiden's eyes widened.

He had also learned about Jiang's black history and the grievances between him and the T Communist Party before, and it was too possible for this warlord to solve the big trouble of his henchmen. Anyway, if he was Mao Taizu, I'm afraid most of them wouldn't dare to come. This is probably still a smoke bomb!

Learvin said solemnly to Aiden: "I think it's true. And if you think about it, there are still a lot of benefits for someone who really comes. At the very least, it is very important for the T Communist Party to be able to win the widest possible public opinion. ”

Aiden thought for a moment and asked, "Then you mean, don't give promises?" ”

Learwin said firmly: "Give a promise, why don't you give." Trick them first, and then put them under house arrest! Mr. Mao is too important to the T Gong, and it means a lot to get rid of him! ”

Aiden was stunned, this Nima is too rebellious, right? If you do this, won't the international credibility and image of the British Empire be completely ruined in the future?

Li Erwen smiled and said: "Anyway, someone Jiang did it, and it has nothing to do with us!" ”

Well, Li Erwen set a trap and waited for Taizu to jump in, I have to say that she saw it best. Since the Soviet Union and a certain immortal attach so much importance to the T Communists, then it is necessary to strike at the T Communists fiercely, and a blow to the T Communists is equivalent to a blow to the Soviet Union.

However, her idea is good, but Li Xiaofeng is not good at stubble, he has long known that Li Erwen will stir up, so this meeting is not Taizu alone, he went with him personally, and directly explained to Britain and the United States: "I went to Chongqing with Mr. Mao as a guarantor, and I can't explain to the T Gong who trusts me if Mr. Mao is missing a single hair." So I'll talk about the ugly things in front, no matter whether the negotiation achieves the desired result or not, Mr. Mao, I will definitely send him back to Yan'an safely! ”

These words directly made Li Erwen's face change, she knows very well the ability of a certain immortal, a certain immortal has always been a good talker, if you dare to be unreasonable with him, then he will tell you what it means to be even more unreasonable.

Not only did Li Xiaofeng say cruel words, but Roosevelt also made it clear: "The US government will absolutely abide by its commitments and will ensure Mr. Mao's personal safety...... The United States Government does not want to see anyone or any force interfere in this negotiation under any pretext, and sincerely hopes that the negotiations will be a complete success. ”

The Soviet Union said ruthlessly, and the Americans did not support it, and the British chopsticks naturally couldn't hold the dishes, plus a certain immortal was personally accompanied, and there was no problem with the safety of Taizu in his heart.

But this does not mean that the negotiations will be smooth sailing, on the contrary, the Chongqing negotiations have been difficult from the beginning, because the differences between the two sides are too great. Chiang believed that he was a reasonable and legitimate representative of the government and the leader of the whole country, and the whole country should listen to his arrangement. And it is completely impermissible for the T to act privately.

The T Communist Party believes that the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is not guilty, so why did the anti-Japanese struggle of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army become illegal? If it was illegal to resist Japan, wouldn't it be illegal for the allies to do it too? The Communist Party also believes that the existing government is a ****, dictatorial, and corrupt government, and the Chinese people have suffered for a long time. In order to solve the situation in which the warlords in China are constantly fighting, it is necessary to elect a new democratic government by the people, and they also believe that only the people of China can represent China, and that it is a hooligan to talk about what is reasonable and legal regardless of the Chinese people......
