Age of Rebirth

The most difficult thing for Tang Qiuli was that Generalissimo Jiang proposed in his letter to send the independent division to the front line in Shaanxi to wipe out the Central Red Army that had just finished the Long March. It's because I can't accept it psychologically, and it's because members of the Communist Party of China in the army serve as brigade and regiment-level commanders in the independent division.

Take the troops to the front line in northern Shaanxi. Isn't that sending guns to the Central Red Army?At that time, a whole brigade of more than 1 troops will come and run to the Red Army, which will be a big joke.

However, with Generalissimo Jiang, procrastination is not an option, the designation has been accepted, and the equipment has also been changed. If you don’t give him a satisfactory answer, you won’t be able to pass this test.

Also, in the future, I will import new weapons and strategic materials from abroad one after another. If I offend the Nanjing government, I can't do it myself. I can't offend the Nanjing line. He has been thinking for several days, but there is no proper way. , can achieve perfection in all aspects and satisfy all parties. [

During this period, the domestic political situation was chaotic. It can be said that China in [-] was a year of great changes. In this year, several major events occurred that affected the course of Chinese history. Several major events that happened at the end of the five years together constituted the vicissitudes of China's political situation, strange and deceitful, and various forces appeared on the stage one after another.

It can also be said that the Japanese authorities' pressing and tough attitude towards North China provided a political stage for various political forces in the country, and also provided them with reasonable reasons to take the stage. Thinking up.

On December [-], [-], organized and planned by the CCP, a large-scale demonstration of college students was held in Beiping, calling for "stop the civil war and unite with the outside world" and "down with Japanese imperialism", which received positive responses from the people of the whole country. The anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people all over the country was soaring, which put great pressure on the national government that implemented the "non-resistance policy" of "resisting the outside world first", which was known as the "[-] Student Movement" in history.

On December [-], [-], the Wayaobao Conference of the Communist Party of China established the anti-Japanese national united front policy. The establishment of this strategy marked that the highest level of the Communist Party of China had turned its strategic vision to deal with the Japanese. For the CCP, win the first opportunity in winning over the people's psychology.

In January [-], Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Peng Dehuai and others jointly issued the "Letter to All Soldiers of the Northeast Army for the Red Army's Willingness to Join Forces with the Northeast Army in Anti-Japanese War". The items listed in the book hit the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Northeast Army who lost their homes and the country. The morale of frontline soldiers was low, people were war-weary, and there were endless incidents of defecting to the CCP’s Red Army with their guns. Zhang Xueliang could no longer control the situation.

In February [-], the CCP announced the start of the Eastern Expedition to Resist Japan. The Red Army led by Liu Zhidan marched into Hebei and Rehe to fight against the Japanese. A conflict occurred, Liu Zhidan died in battle, and the Red Army retreated.

The Red Army's Eastern Expedition was for the purpose of resisting Japan. On the other hand, it was also to test the true attitude of the national government and the powerful factions in the country, especially in North China. On the site of Yan Xishan in Shanxi, the red seeds were left behind, and they won the first opportunity in front of the domestic people.

On June [-], [-], the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident broke out. Chen Jitang and Li Zongren sent a telegram in Guangzhou to lament the Japanese army's trampling of Chinese land after the September [-]th Incident. They decided to lead their troops to the north to fight against Japan and regain lost ground.

On June [-], he called the Central Executive Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang in Nanjing to request permission for the Guangdong and Guangxi troops to go north. However, shortly after, the Allied Forces of Guangdong and Guangxi collapsed under the division and isolation of Chairman Jiang, the bribery of money, and the disintegration of high-ranking officials.

The generals of the Guangdong and Guangxi factions defected, the pilots defected by plane, surrendered to the Nanjing government one after another, and attacked the so-called "going north to resist Japan" in Guangdong and Guangxi.

Because of the peaceful resolution of the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident (especially without bloodshed, which made the most rebellious and powerful provinces at the time the most semi-independent provinces in the country—Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan provinces obey orders), the prestige of Chairman Jiang increased.

The performance of the former Guangdong-Guangzhou air force pilot and general who defected to the Central Army was enough to convince him that "the eyes of the people are discerning" and that his political opponents who abused him as "pro-Japanese and traitorous" were unpopular - obviously also made him He has become more and more convinced of the correctness of the policy of "to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home".

After solving the confidant’s troubles in the southern provinces, Generalissimo Chiang, armed with the prestige of victory, transferred all the divisions of the Central Army that were preparing to conquer Guangdong and Guangxi to the north for the purpose of suppressing the Communist Party. ambition.

Generalissimo Jiang was very dissatisfied with the ineffectiveness of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, thinking that Zhang and Yang had not done their best, and planned to transfer Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army to Fujian and Yang Hucheng's Northwest Army to Anhui.

At this time, the Northeast Army suffered consecutive defeats on the battlefield of suppressing the Communists in the Northwest, losing troops and losing generals. Coupled with the fact that the soldiers were tired of fighting, Zhang Xueliang immediately stopped the attack on the Red Army of the Communist Party of China and formed a confrontation with the Red Army.

At this moment, he received another telegram from Song Zheyuan, urging him to go to Beiping to take up his post, in order to discuss the big plan for North China. In response to the current situation, the consul of the Japanese Consulate in Beiping kept putting forward new demands, which made Song Zheyuan feel helpless and had a headache. I can't help but hope that Vice Chairman Tang will come to Peiping to take up his post as soon as possible to support the crisis together.

Chairman Song of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee was forced by the Japanese to have no choice but to let himself stand out and resist for a while. From another perspective, it also meant to avoid the limelight and prevaricate responsibility. Anyway, you Tang Qiuli I am a person who sits and admires, and if there is any trouble, I, Song Zheyuan, can't be blamed.

If possible, he would want to give up the title of chairman of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee to clean up this mess. Of course, the throne of the commander of the 29th Army must never be given up.

From Song Zheyuan's telegram, Tang Qiuli was able to clearly grasp Song Zheyuan's intentions and ideas. No wonder, who made him meet such a monster who came through time! [

After Tang Qiuli sorted out all the major events that happened and were about to happen in his memory, he had a clear context in his mind and decided on a strategy to deal with Chairman Jiang.

That is the tactic of "delaying", using time in exchange for a situation that is beneficial to oneself, and delaying until the outbreak of the Xi'an Incident. Many, you can have a good contest with the little devil.

Procrastinate, and be knowledgeable, don't annoy Chairman Jiang, make him transfer the independent division to other places, or send a large army to encircle and suppress. Cheap, the Sino-Japanese War is about to break out, and any military conflict will be a loss to China's national defense forces.

After the strategy was decided, Tang Qiuli sent a long letter to Generalissimo Jiang before rushing to Peiping. In the letter, he listed the main reasons why the Independent Division could not immediately rush to northern Shaanxi to suppress the Communist Party. Soldiers, just turned in from outside the customs, the soldiers are homesick, and the morale of the army is unstable.

Coupled with the fact that the terrain is not familiar, the climate is not acclimatized, many soldiers are seriously ill, non-combat attrition is very large, the combat effectiveness of the troops has dropped sharply, and it is difficult to go to the battlefield to suppress the Communist Party in a short period of time. I hope the chairman will divide a defense zone for the independent division in North China .

It is used for the troops to restore their combat effectiveness and recuperate. In addition, the independent division is allowed to import weapons and equipment, as well as military supplies from abroad. The required funds will be settled by the independent division itself, without spending a cent of national funds. He is willing to be the chairman of the committee Train a well-equipped and well-trained elite division, so that in the future, they can return to their role on the battlefield of suppressing the Communist Party and make great achievements.

He himself, on the other hand, obeys the orders of the central government at any time, resolutely implements the orders of the leader, and finally fulfills the will of the leader, taking it as his duty to obey the call of the country and the leader.

Generalissimo Jiang should readily accept these big bowls of yellow soup. Even though Tang Qiuli hates politics, this thing is a bit like digging out manure. You have to get yourself dirty first, otherwise, you won't be able to appreciate the essence and mystery of it.

In order to cope with the chaotic current situation, Tang Qiuli had to do a job he hated. With his accumulated historical knowledge, he was able to deal with these political issues with ease, but he didn't bother to do it. For those who eat dry food, their every move will fall into their eyes.

Independently importing weapons and equipment from abroad, in the eyes of others, is a huge fat, lucrative business. Once it changes hands, it will be dozens of times the profit. The domestic warlords, big and small, do not have big The banknotes, those are not trying to expand their territory, they are recruiting soldiers with red eyes, guns and medicine, in their eyes, are hard currency, more useful than real money, guns have money, this is the truth.

If that guy with ulterior motives slanders Generalissimo Jiang, his own troubles will come. After all, the army has just arrived in North China, and its foothold is not stable, and the Japanese devils are the enemy. In order to fight the devils, what is the matter All can be put aside, Tang Qiuli comforted himself in this way in his heart.

After the letter was sent, Tang Qiuli waited patiently for a response from Nanjing. Before going to Peiping, these matters had to be resolved.

With so many worries, Tang Qiuli could only hold them in his heart, including accepting the Nanjing government's adaptation, and if Xiaoling was by his side, he could talk to her about his grievances. There are many things that cannot be said with these old guys.

Thinking of Xiaoling, Tang Qiuli felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and the bits and pieces of the past came to his mind one after another. At this time last year, he and Xiaoling were in the big forest in the northeast, avoiding the pursuit of the devils. The road to escape, the experience of joys and sorrows, brought their hearts closer together.

Tang Qiuli didn't dare to think about it. He walked outside. The scene of the soldiers training hard made him feel a little relieved.

The telegram from Chairman Jiang of the Nanjing State Government finally arrived, and one of the main contents of the telegram surprised him.
