PS: There was a bug in the previous chapter, the party-state's Pinghai cruiser was a self-produced battleship under construction at the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, although it had already started construction in 1931, but it was launched until September 28, 1935, and it was in service for 36 years, and it should still be lying in the Jiangnan Shipyard in the form of semi-finished products at this time.

This error has now been corrected, and the battleships lost by Chen Shaokuan in the artillery battle of Wusongkou have been changed to three ships: Ninghai, Datong, and Ziqiang.

Alas, I originally thought that the battleships that would be used by Chen Shaokuan to block the shipwrecks in Jiangyin in 37 should be some broken old ships, but I didn't expect that this loser even scuttled the latest and largest naval flagship as a reef, but he didn't have the courage to fight with the Japanese Navy, which is really speechless.

What is even more strange is that at that time, it was obviously suggested that some people use mines to arrange a blockade line, and the mine factories and stock mines were ready-made, and the cost was only a few tenths of the cost of scuttling ships, but Chen Shaokuan insisted on not listening, and he was determined to scuttle half of the national navy and block it in Jiangyin...... Instead of scattering the fleet along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong in southern China to fight guerrilla warfare - in fact, until the height of the war of resistance, China still controlled many harbors and coastlines.

Moreover, due to the shortage of warships, Chen Shaokuan also chiseled many valuable civilian ships, which seriously affected the evacuation of personnel and the transfer of factories.

Later, it was discovered that Chen Shaokuan had a wide network in Japan, and he had a very good relationship with Vice Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, commander of the Japanese Third Fleet, and swore to each other many times that he would never be armed with guns in his lifetime...... Maybe this is the real reason why he forcibly scuttled the ship?!

All in all, looking at these "high-end foreign gas grades" to the level of unscientific red ideological pamphlets. The pillars of the party-state in the conference room of the Nanchang camp were almost all in a state of confusion with straight eyes, broken thinking, and messy wind.

――If the Zhongnanhai bigwigs of later generations see this scene, I am afraid they will only cover their faces and shake their heads and sigh: These bear children who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. It was so much fun! The whole earth will be squandered by you!

Of course, Senior Sister Ma Tong, as the main planner, will definitely answer: Temperance? How could people have such superfluous things!

The problem is that these outdated predecessors in the early 20th century in the Nanchang Xingying conference room obviously cannot understand the true meaning of "cute house culture".

So, under the flickering of many undisciplined efforts to cross the public, under the false reports of Senior Sister Ma Tong full of anime. With the help of modern shijie's three-dimensional image simulation and photo modification jishu, these antique dirt buns from the thirties of the twentieth century were gorgeously fooled.

“…… Niang Xipi! Everyone understands! We were tired of chasing down the Jiangxi bandits in Zhumao. It's completely a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain by the Western red bandits! Now that the big hole has been poked out, let's talk about what we should do next......

With a complicated expression, he flexed his fingers and flicked the glaring sickle and hammer badge on the cover of the poster. Chiang Kai-shek sighed with a lonely face—just like his men. This man, who was touted as "perfect through the ages" in later generations, was shocked to learn of this, and his mental state was also subjected to an indescribable severe test, and until now he has not been able to fully return to his normal thinking......

“…… This one...... Forgive me for being humble and stupid, and resolutely obey the instructions of the commission...... "The pillars of the party-state hurriedly expressed their loyalty, but they couldn't say anything substantive -- please, how should such a sci-fi red bandit be broken?" With the Three People's Principles or the blood of the black dog?

“…… I know it's useless to say this! Who's going to tell me how we should deal with these Red Bandits' Gundam? ”

Chiang Kai-shek snorted angrily. “…… Just now, an American diplomat and military attache came to Nanchang to inquire about the years in which we encircled and suppressed the red bandits on the battlefield in Jiangxi. How the hell did you fight this horrible thing...... Have any of you ever seen this kind of big iron man on the battlefield of Gannan?! ”

The pillars of the party-state hurriedly shook their heads again and again -- if the mud-legged red bandits in Jiangxi were really equipped with these invulnerable "Gundams," how could they trap the red bandits to death in the lofty mountains and mountains of southern Jiangxi and western Fujian?

Therefore, the pillars of the party-state are still at a loss as to how to deal with the "Gundam" troops of these red bandits -- with the weak firepower of the ordinary units of the National Revolutionary Army, most of them cannot even defeat the "bean chariots" (ultra-light mini-tanks with paper-thin armor) of the Japanese devils. Especially on the Songhu battlefield of the "128 Incident", the officers and men of the 19th Route Army could not even penetrate the armor plate less than one centimeter thick on the side of the Japanese armored car, and Zuihou had to organize a death squad to rush forward with explosives bags as meat bombs...... Because their rifles are not equipped with hardened steel core rounds!

-- Japan's armored cars can only be displayed in front of the Chinese who are weak in firepower, and if they get to Europe, they will definitely be proper iron coffins.

Not to mention the local warlord troops who are still using bird guns and earth-carrying cannons, and even large bed crossbows (there are really security regiments in northern Jiangsu that can't afford guns, so they have to use cold weapons...... At the moment, there are only a few so-called "German armorers" -- in fact, a considerable part of the equipment is still "Czech-made" -- that can be pulled out to fill the scene, and may be able to compete with the Red Bandit Gundam troops in Shanghai.

However, looking at the "Mobile Suit Gundam" in the propaganda brochure, which is as majestic as the god of war, especially their brave feat of "punching field guns and stepping on armored vehicles" in the burning streets and alleys, the members of the party-state seem to lack confidence in their own "German mechanics".

What's more, with the current situation of the Nanjing Nationalist Government on the verge of collapse, let alone launching a counterattack, even if it is just to stabilize the status quo, it is not an easy task.

Therefore, some people soon stood up and laughed a few times, first refuted a few empty words, and then diverted the topic in a roundabout way -- Shanghai was the money bag of the Nationalist Government and the gateway to the entire Yangtze River valley, and naturally it must be recaptured. However, since the international column of red bandits entrenched in Shanghai is so strong, it is obviously not enough to rely on Liliang of the state government alone. So in any case, we have to get foreign aid.

Next, more people also sighed about the bitter scriptures, saying that the huge impact of the fall of Shanghai. At present, it has shaken the whole country, and the chaotic parties and people in various places have been greatly encouraged, and they have risen up in chaos and besieged the government. The morale of the government is also extremely unstable. The fifth encirclement and suppression of millions of troops was already put on the coffin book of the national government, but now instead of eliminating the bandits in one fell swoop, the red bandits came to a black tiger to dig out their hearts...... Therefore, it is just to suppress their respective jurisdictions. It is already too weak to defend against it, let alone draw troops from their territory to counterattack Shanghai.

All right. In any case, even Chairman Chiang must admit that the uproar that the Shanghai incident has rapidly stirred up throughout the country is really an indisputable fact -- there is no way. China in this era. It is simply the most suitable soil for the outbreak of revolution by nature!

At this time, the Great Depression of capitalism, which swept the whole world, also did not spare China, a third semi-colonial country -- relying on the control of China's customs, the United States and British imperialism, which urgently needed to recover from their wounds, beggar-thy-neighbor and recklessly allowed a large number of cheap industrial and agricultural products to pour into the Chinese market, crushing China's backward and fragile industry and agriculture in one fell swoop, and causing factory closures, unemployment of workers, and bankruptcy of peasants in the provinces of the Yangtze River basin. More than half of the country's rural households are in serious debt and have to choose between suicide and rebellion.

What's worse is that. The silver rush that broke out last year brought an even greater crisis to the Nationalist Government -- because the credit of paper money was not high. In China's domestic market today, the main currency is the silver dollar. However, under Roosevelt's planning, Wall Street speculators raised the price of silver, causing the international silver price to skyrocket, resulting in a general sharp drop in domestic prices, and as a result, the products produced by the factory could not recover the cost when they were sold, and the businessmen also lost their pants, but they had to repay the loans from the banks, and for a time the industrial and commercial enterprises in the country that were already in a difficult situation collapsed, but the bankers made a lot of profits from it, but as soon as the real economy collapsed, the banks would eventually suffer from the fish in the pond, and the domestic economic situation was precarious for a while.

In general, the situation during the silver boom period is somewhat similar to Japan's long-term deflation problem caused by the high yen exchange rate in the "lost 20 years", but China in the Republic of China era did not have such a solid foundation, and it was already very unbearable after only a few months.

In order to solve the crisis of deflation, and at the same time to fill the fiscal hole caused by huge military spending, the Ministry of Finance of the Nanjing Nationalist Government has started the printing press to print money on a large scale since Kong Xiangxi came to power, and Jihua has used the method of printing more money to artificially create inflation, depreciate the local currency, and thus promote the increase in the amount of exports (much like the so-called "Abenomics" of Japan at the beginning of the 21st century......

-- It is true that as long as the magnitude of inflation is within the range that the people can bear, it is conducive to stimulating economic development, but on the contrary, it is a deflationary situation in which prices have generally fallen, which is even more harmful to the national economy...... But the problem is that the current government has been smashed by the red bandits in one fell swoop, the central bank and the treasury have been destroyed, the banknotes have fallen directly into hell and become waste paper, and inflation and the price of silver dollars have further rocketed to the sky!

In addition, the import and export company in Shanghai and the waterway of the Yangtze River were cut off at the same time, and Shanghai's financing channels were cut off, and it was difficult for several provinces under the jurisdiction of the Nationalist Government not to go bankrupt!

In this way, tens of millions of unemployed workers, bankrupt peasants, provided endless nourishment for the revolutionary cause, and allowed the proletarian revolution to expand rapidly. Under endless exploitation and oppression, the Kuomintang's butcher's knife has also lost its deterrent power -- this is determined by the basic national conditions, and cannot be changed by any means. Since you have made it impossible for the people to live, what else can the people do?

Anyone in their right mind will choose the promising cause of rebellion...... At least it has a future than being a shunmin.

To add insult to injury, the rapid depreciation of banknotes has also greatly affected the military, not only has the savings of a considerable number of officers and soldiers been wasted, but the current Nationalist Government has not yet established a supply system for the army -- that is, the Ministry of Defense can only issue a pile of banknotes that look like waste paper, and then let the army organize its own supplies...... As a result, due to the rejection of paper money, many miscellaneous soldiers can now only rely on robbing homes to make a living.

Therefore, along with the financial crisis, the currency crisis, the economic crisis, the social crisis, and the class crisis, it broke out in the most violent form. Chiang Kai-shek's turf has now become an oversized powder keg, barely sustained by almost inertia...... No one knows how many more days it will last.

Although Chairman Chiang has always despised the voices of the people at the bottom, he has never hesitated to fish with all his might. But in the face of such a situation. It's also a trembling -- if you say a communal. The Liliang of the Industrial Party comes from the broadest masses of the grassroots people, and the Liliang of the Kuomintang comes from finance and banking. The countless money circulating in the account books of the Shanghai Tan Bank is the foundation of the Chiang Kai-shek regime, the foundation of the ruling party, and the source of Liliang!

If the Nanjing National Government is a person, then the financial community is its heart, the blood that drives its operation and conquest!

Therefore, even at the expense of the workers, peasants, and industrial and commercial capitalists, all the factories of the country were closed and bankrupt. When the peasants hang themselves, he must also give priority to the rate of return of the banks, most of which are run by imperialist compradors......

But the problem is that with these bankers being hung up by the Red Army. This heart has been gouged out and trampled on, and it is impossible to grow a new one in a short period of time, thus depriving the party-state of its ability to make blood. As for the little loan obtained from Hong Kong, it was not enough to appease Chairman Chiang's descendants...... It's like a patient with a heart gouged out. Even if he barely survives by blood transfusion. In a short period of time, you have to be paralyzed on the bed, and if you insist on making any big moves regardless of your physical weakness, then it is basically equivalent to looking for death.

Not to mention that at the worst time of the current situation, there are also Wang Zhaoming's gang who are making trouble in the government, and the disaster is caused within the Xiao Wall...... This reminded Chiang Kai-shek of the autumn of 1926, when he was still the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army: he was also stationed in Nanchang, had strong troops but had empty pockets, and was also maddened by the workers' and peasants' movement of the Red Bandits. was also attacked by Wang Jingwei in every way in the Nationalist Government......

“…… Alas, the banks of Shanghai Tang and the treasury of the state. It's all over...... Fortunately, although the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium is gone, the Freemason consortium is still there, so maybe you can try your luck in Hong Kong...... As a sign of goodwill, perhaps the Hong Kong dollar could be designated as the national central currency? ”

Seeing that everyone at the conference table was discussing but were indifferent, Chairman Jiang, who was deeply tired, had no choice but to lower his famous bald head again, muttering quietly, and at the same time silently praying for protection from Emperor Xiangshang: "...... Almighty God, please exert your boundless power, give me endless banknotes and guns, and by the way, let these red bandits and traitors in Shanghai be exterminated by the foreigners......"

At the same time, diplomats from various countries in the Nanjing embassy district were also reviewing the same Red Army propaganda brochure they had obtained from different sources.

The first is the Japanese Embassy......

“…… Nani? Ship slasher? Cut off the cruiser with a single sword?! My Imperial Kingdom of Japan actually has such a swordsmanship?!! Although these 'non-national' red elements who have failed the emperor's favor deserve death, the swordsmanship of this Flying Imperial Sword Stream must be in the hands of the imperial army! ”

“…… Hi! Your Excellency, I have already sent a report to the country, requesting that an investigation be launched immediately against the Flying Sword Stream and the Little Bird Tour Family! But according to the remnants of the Third Fleet who retreated to Nantong, the attack they experienced seemed to be different from the description on the propaganda posters of the Red Bandits in China......

“…… Don't pay attention to the navy's garbage, they just think it's too embarrassing to lose the battle and want to whitewash it! Yo Xi, this humanoid combat weapon called Gundam is really in perfect line with the spirit of bushido, and it is really a wonderful weapon tailored for the Imperial Kingdom! There is also that kind of particle vibrating knife, which also looks very good, so I might want to discuss the introduction with the British Embassy......"

Then there is the British Embassy......

“…… My God! Armstrong gyro acceleration jet Armstrong cannon? A particle vibrator that can cut through an entire house? And that Red Knights of Marx...... Hell, is the ghost of Marx already drifting to the East? ”

“…… Mr. Ambassador, I have made a special trip to Nanchang to inquire with Chairman Chiang's generals, and they all claim that they have never seen the above-mentioned weapons. ”

Then there is the U.S. Embassy......

“…… Immediately send a telegram to the country, contact Nikolai? Tesla, the science master from Serbia (who lived until 1943), asked him if he had ever invented such a horrible thing as the Magnetic Storm Infantry for the Soviets......"

There is also the French Embassy......

“…… Red Joan of Arc tank company? Red revolutionaries from Algeria? AMX-40T 'Fuxi' tank? It's almost like Verne's science fiction! Also, the French tank weishenme should be named after the gods of the Chinese? ”

At this time, the only foreign "diplomats" in China who knew part of the truth were a few secret liaison officers of the Comintern...... However, although they were eager to send this earth-shattering secret to the Soviet Union immediately, all the travelers were afraid of the Soviet Union during the Great Purge, so they only wrote a few letters to Stalin, and found a sailboat from the dock of the Huangpu River for these Soviet comrades to drive back by themselves.

Well, I hope that these Russian hairmen can show the great spirit of Vice Admiral Rozhdestvensky who led the Second Pacific Fleet on a lonely expedition of 18,000 nautical miles during the Russo-Japanese War in the past, and drove this 15-ton sailing ship through the Tsushima Strait smoothly and arrived in Vladivostok! (To be continued......)
