June 1, 19o9 A.D., Wuchang.

"The Socialist Party accepted the mediation of various countries, and the armies of the north and south announced the beginning of a ceasefire today and began negotiations......

"Latest newsYesterday, the northern government sent Tang Shaoyi, minister of posts and telecommunications, as a plenipotentiary representative, to Shanghai for talks with the southern representatives, and the two sides will discuss the reunification ......."

Early this morning, the newspapers broke the big news on their front pages, and with the mediation of various countries, the South finally agreed to a ceasefire today, and the two sides will immediately hold peace talks.

After the news broke, everyone reacted differently, some people were relieved, and some people were very regretful.

For example, the officers of the People's Liberation Army are the latter.

"Hey, why don't you fight? Our People's Liberation Army can obviously go directly to Beijing, what to talk about, just fight it, you can talk about it as you want......" Li Ang put down the newspaper and said regretfully.

Wang Guangxing: "Yes, in less than a month, we will liberate northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Shanxi, one of the four provinces. The scrap wood in Beiyang didn't need to be beaten at all, just push it over. ”

Another captain also said: "The Beiyang Navy is too obscene, our fleet has sailed into the Bohai Sea, and the Beiyang Navy is still shrinking in the port of Tianjin, and it does not dare to fight at all." I heard that Commander Wang directly challenged Beiyang with the radio, but those grandsons just didn't move, which made our Commander Wang angry

A short captain said with a disdainful face: "Isn't this clear? The Beiyang Navy is just that 'four seas, can fight, we have bought ten cruisers from France and Italy, both in terms of number and tonnage of a single ship, they are much larger than them, of course they dare not fight......

Li Ang said disapprerovingly: "Even if they dare to fight, our brothers can't get it, and the superiors will definitely not let our inland gunboats go to the Bohai Sea to participate in the war, and it is estimated that we will still support the work of the 6th Army." ”

These captains are all trainee captains of Chuzi-class river gunboats, and they are also trainees of this naval intermediate command course. According to the regulations of the People's Liberation Army, after passing the written examination for graduation in this term, they will be promoted to major and officially enter the ranks of middle-ranking officers. As for the internship, the actual combat is the best internship, they participated in the whole battle of Anhui Sulu, and only came back a few days before the ceasefire (the navy's ceasefire was a few days earlier).

"By the way, this time the superiors asked us to come back and prepare for the graduation exam. You say, if we graduate, what kind of ship will we be assigned to? It would be nice if it was the Wuchang class......

"Dream, I guess it must be those old foreign ships, only one of the Wuchang class has been completed now, and it won't be our turn to ......"

"Hey, I'm not saying to be a captain, it's okay to be a first and second officer. ”

Neijiang, Xingke headquarters.

There are also different views within the CSD as to Wen Dehei's agreement to an armistice.

"Chairman, why do you want to agree to an armistice? Beiyang is not vulnerable at all, why don't you take advantage of the situation to attack Huanglong" Madman Zhang was one of the examples, and he came early in the morning to ask the reason.

"I know that Beiyang is vulnerable, but now the problem is ourselves. Wen Desi rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "It's our own reason, even if I don't agree to the truce, the offensive operation will be suspended." ”

"Why?" the madman is a complete amateur in the military, and of course he doesn't know why.

"Because of the lack of supplies, Minister Zhang, Sun Tzu said 26 years ago that war is about logistics, you know this. And our PLA, although its combat effectiveness is far from Beiyang, our ammunition consumption is also more than twice that of Beiyang, so we rely more on logistics. Although the war has been going on for less than a month, our logistics have been unable to keep up......"

"However, the last meeting said that our factories can meet the consumption of the war? There are still a lot of stocks, right?" asked the madman in puzzlement.

Wen Desi spread his hands and said helplessly: "Hey, you're right. We now have the capacity to handle a battle of this magnitude, and we still have stock. However, the volume of transportation cannot be increased, the transportation conditions in the north and the newly liberated Jiangnan and northern Shaanxi regions are too poor, and now the supply line of our front line has passed 1o6 kilometers, and our things cannot be transported......"

"If the infrastructure in the north is as good as the old areas in the southwest, I will not cease fire at all, and I will only fight directly to Beijing...... And there are also the needs of the people, there are too many people in the north who need relief, we are not the kind of irresponsible government of the Manchu Qing and Beiyang, their needs must be considered, and these relief and construction materials occupy a large part of the transportation volume. Now we have reached a bottleneck in our capacity, so we have to stop the offensive and stock up on ammunition. In addition, the troops also need a certain amount of rest and recuperation after a long journey. That's why I decided to cease fire...... "Moonson patiently explained. There must be a unity of opinion at the top level of the party, and there are quite a few radical guys like Zhang Madman in the party, and if they do not explain clearly, it will not be good for contradictions to arise.

Subsequently, Mr. Wen showed a harmless smile: "Please rest assured, Yuan Shikai will never agree to the peace conditions we offered." Therefore, it is only a temporary ceasefire, not a formal truce...... When we are ready, we will push it to Beijing in one go...... Yuan Shikai wants to use this ceasefire to ease his breath, why don't we ......"

The middle-aged angry man finally left with a smile.

In fact, Mr. Wen still has a reason not to say. Because of the intelligence surface, the Japanese 6th Army had abnormal movements on the Sino-Korean border and in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula occupied by them. Now it is no problem for the PLA to fly to the Beiyang Army for supplies, but if it fights with Japan, it will be insufficient in reserves. Therefore, it is now necessary to replenish a large amount of supplies to the front line and adjust the deployment of troops, so that the Japanese middle and second year old ones will not be able to deal with them in a timely manner.

Although in the history of the original time and space, during the Xinhai Revolution, Japan was not directly involved in China, but now history has completely changed. With the strange way of thinking of the Japanese, the CSD could not predict what would happen to them.

This is because the brain circuits of Japanese people are extremely strange, and it is difficult to judge them with normal human logic. Although Japan is now in debt, theoretically speaking, it is powerless to get involved, but there are too many middle two in this country, and they don't necessarily think so. For example, this is a typical example, although Moon Tokuji has reliable information that proves that the Japanese government has no direct plans to involve China at present, but the Japanese troops on the Sino-Korean border and in the Kwantung Prefecture have begun to enter a state of combat readiness, which makes it impossible for Moon Tokuji not to be prepared.

June 7, Shanghai.

In fact, both the South and the North know that this nominal ceasefire is only a symbol, and if they cannot be negotiated, they will definitely have to fight. However, it is necessary to talk beforehand, because both sides will have to use this ceasefire period to prepare.

Beiyang is building a defensive line and conscripting troops to buy weapons, while the People's Liberation Army is replenishing ammunition; due to the lack of transportation capacity of the CSD itself, the Xingke Group has come forward to charter a number of merchant ships from the United States, Germany and other countries to use the sea route to transport supplies to Shandong, northern Anhui and other areas near the sea.

Despite the constant small movements under the table, the negotiations on the surface are still needed. Representatives of the North and the South are now holding peace talks at the Oriental Hotel in Shanghai.

"Minister Ka, you have no sincerity at all, this kind of condition is unacceptable to us," Tang Shaoyi said with a cold face.

His opponent was Mr. Cavour, Minister of Public Relations of the Southern Autonomous Government. Now Minister Ka has a certain reputation in the world, and his ability is not to mention for the time being, just his identity is worth hype. Because he's an "American", well, he's now a Chinese citizen, but that's nothing. The fact that an American is the foreign minister of South China is a sight to behold in any case. The outside world has mixed opinions about this, but of course the United States must be happy to death.

In the eyes of most people in the outside world, the reason why Cavour's department is called the public relations department is nothing more than because Wen Deji has not yet taken Beijing, or is embarrassed to claim to be the central power. But only a few internal core personnel know that the reason why this department has not changed its name is just because Wen Desi is lazy and troublesome. Because he really doesn't know, and he doesn't bother to think about what a "** armed" foreign minister is called. So, Cavour became a foreign ministry that was not a foreign minister

Of course, Mr. Tang Shaoyi will not pay attention to this kind of problem, he just feels deeply powerless now. There is no way, diplomacy is like this, there is no diplomacy without strength.

Now, for example, Cavour has the arrogant face of a foreign adult.

Cavour said nonchalantly: "Mr. Tang, I think you are mistaken, we are not discussing these conditions, but you must do it, otherwise there will be no peace......"

"The concessions that should be made, we have already made, and the current conditions are the maximum concessions we can give. Land reform is a matter of principle, and we absolutely cannot make the slightest concession. As for the aftermath of your officials, it is also a matter of principle, we are a government that respects the law, and we cannot violate our own laws and issue an exculpatory certificate to all of you. Cavour said lightly.

"Okay, we need to go back and discuss......" Tang Shaoyi suppressed his anger and began to play procrastination**.

"There is no problem, then today's negotiations are here......"

Tang Shaoyi returned to the hotel full of worries, and before he got out of the car and entered the door, he saw one of his relatives standing at the door with a panicked face.

As soon as the "old man......" saw him, he trotted up and cried out, "Five little ...... Miss Five is gone."

"What?" Tang Shaoyi was suddenly stupid.

The relatives hurriedly handed over a letter and said, "Only this letter left by Miss Five, so I can't find anyone......

Tang Shaoyi hurriedly tore open the envelope, took out the letter and looked at it, and immediately became angry, and immediately said to the driver: "Quick, go to the Dongfang Hotel, Cavour must give me an explanation......" and instructed his relatives: "You continue to look for it"

The driver was sent by the Science and Technology Party, and he did not dare to slack off when he saw him like this, and immediately turned to the Dongfang Hotel. I vaguely heard it coming from the car: "This unfilial girl dares to go to the south, I'm angry......"
