Age of Rebirth

In Chongqing in the southwest, even in August, the heat is still unbearable at night. The Huangshan official residence of Chairman Jiang, in the middle of the night, the lights in a room are still not extinguished. In the huge office, the lights are bright. Jiang Zhongzheng, chairman of the government's military committee and chairman of the national government, frowned slightly, looking at a top-secret document submitted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, looking a little uneasy.

The content of this top-secret document submitted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is exactly what the German ambassador to China, Tautman, told Tang Qiuli, who was making trouble in the Northeast, about the content of the Japanese request for negotiation. It's not surprising that after dealing with the Japanese for many years, there are still few things to negotiate. Besides, the Japanese are accustomed to using this method.

However, in Generalissimo Chiang's memory, negotiating with the Japanese suffered a lot of losses, but seldom took advantage of them. Anyway, when the Japanese asked for negotiations, they never refused to suffer losses.

However, this time the Japanese asked for negotiations, which was unusual. According to the intelligence of Dai Li's Military Command Bureau, Tang Qiuli fought very smoothly in the Northeast, and beat the Kwantung Army that had been entrenched in the Northeast for decades. The western Liaoning and Ximan areas encircled the last main force of the Kwantung Army. Judging from Chairman Jiang's experience, there is no suspense in the battle of the Northeast, and the Japanese will surely lose!

The young man who led his troops to enter the Northeast at the beginning, with only a few tens of thousands of troops, who needed to be taken in by himself, had rapidly grown into a military force of nearly 300 million in just a few years.The behemoth with complete army, navy and air force has become a person who cannot be controlled and controlled by himself. On the current Chinese political stage.This person's radiance has surpassed his own. Everyone knows Tang Qiuli, but I, Jiang, are rarely mentioned!

"Isn't it raising a tiger?" Generalissimo Jiang sighed and thought, regretting it very much in his heart. If it was easy to deal with him at the beginning, why is it so difficult to shake him today.Fortunately, Tang Qiuli put all his energy abroad.Fight the Soviets, fight the British, but this time in the Northeast...

His eyes once again fell on the top-secret documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Inner unease.It comes from here!

Generalissimo Jiang’s inner unease stemmed from several aspects. First, he was a little angry and dissatisfied with the Germans. Anyway, I, Jiang, was still the head of the national government, and you Germans could spread the word for the Japanese.No matter how you go about it, you can't bypass me, the chairman of the National Government, right?

Secondly.Generalissimo Jiang worried that if Tang Qiuli did not tell himself what kind of deal he would reach with the Japanese on the issue of the Northeast, the most likely issue would be the issue of sovereignty over the Northeast. , To move to benefit, all kinds of means are complete, it is said that this stupefied young man has changed his flag, and the national government has been unified in form.

I also sat on the No. 1 throne of the National Government. As for the fall of the Northeast, it was a last resort, and the factors were complicated. But in terms of law, the Northeast has always been the jurisdiction of the National Government. Chairman Jiang is most worried about Tang Qiuli. In the Northeast, after reaching an agreement with the Japanese, it is possible to start a new stove and form a government that is equal to itself. With Tang Qiuli's current power and strength, this is possible, and the possibility is very high!

Chairman Jiang was not worried about how Tang Qiuli led his troops abroad, but when it came to the Northeast, he had to be worried. At the same time, he was also surprised that in terms of the current situation in the Northeast battlefield, the Japanese's failure was a foregone conclusion. However, with Tang Qiuli's style and consistent way of doing things, it is impossible to accept the fact of negotiating with the Japanese, and it is impossible for the Germans to come forward!

The Japanese are not fools. They have been fighting with Tang Qiuli for many years, and the possibility of negotiating is very slim, but they still do so. So, what is the confidence of the Japanese?What are the conditions for taking it out?What is Tang Qiuli's attitude?

These three issues are all a cloud of fog. In the mind of Generalissimo Jiang, there is a bottom line. No matter how troubled Tang Qiuli is in the Northeast, as long as he does not set up a separate branch, in other words, the current national government and himself, There is no way to stop Tang Qiuli from doing anything, but if these three problems are not resolved, he will not be able to sleep!

After thinking about it, Chairman Jiang rang the electric bell on his desk, and an attendant in a Chinese tunic came in briskly, and stood there without saying a word, "Go and inform Dai Li of the Military Control Bureau, he will be here soon Come see me at the mansion!"

The attendant disappeared silently. Chairman Jiang sat on a high-backed chair, drinking plain water one after another, thinking wildly in his mind. More than half an hour later, Dai Li, deputy director of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the Chongqing Nationalist Government, the ghost Appeared in Generalissimo Chiang's office.

Judging from his complexion, the head of the Military Command Bureau, who is highly valued by Chairman Jiang, is still in a good state of mind. After some internal fighting to suppress and exclude the forces of the Central Command, the Military Command has a tendency to dominate. Most of the information provided was liked by Chairman Jiang, but Dai Li also knew that the old man was a suspicious person by nature. If you don't correct this point, you can see it.

Dai Li, who often came and went to the Huangshan Chairman's mansion, knew very well that when Chairman Jiang summoned him late at night, he must have something important to explain. There is no need to ask, the old man will naturally have something to explain.

Chairman Jiang looked sternly at Dai Li who was standing with his head bowed, and said in a slow tone with a Jiangsu-Zhejiang accent: "Yunong, Tao Deman sent a message to Tang Qiuli on behalf of the Japanese, asking for negotiations on the Northeast War situation. Do you know?"

Dai Li's heart tightened, "Sure enough, the old man summoned himself for this matter Kui Ye. Originally, this was a small matter, but it involved Tang Qiuli, that daunting behemoth, which is very unusual. Now, the top-secret documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can't escape my eyes and ears, I don't know if it's a blatant lie!"

"Principal, the students understand!" Dai Li replied succinctly. He knew that the old man didn't like long-winded people.

"What do you think about this matter?" Generalissimo Jiang asked unhurriedly. This sentence is a bit random and fuzzy, so it is very difficult to answer. Besides, with Dai Li's position and occupation , nor is it a candidate to participate in the important affairs of the central mechanism. For this matter, those think tanks, such as Zhang Qun and others, should be consulted.

But since the old man asked, he had to answer, but it took only a moment. Dai Li had countless thoughts in his mind, and replied cautiously: "Principal, the students think that Vice Chairman Tang wants to negotiate with the Japanese on the Northeast issue." , It’s not groundless, otherwise, the German ambassador to China, Tautman, wouldn’t have that telegram!”

"The most important thing right now is to figure out what bargaining chip the Japanese are offering in this negotiation, and..." Dai Li paused for a while, before hesitating to speak.

"Huh?" Generalissimo Jiang let out a movement from his throat unhappily, and just this movement made Dai Li sweat all over.

"Also, what is the attitude of Vice Chairman Tang!" Dai Li gritted his teeth and replied, from the bottom of his heart, Dai Li would rather deal with Emperor Hirohito of Japan than get into any trouble with Tang Qiuli, but the words forced him to For this sake, I have to say that I also know what the old man is thinking, so I am worried if I can't help it!

"Well!" Chairman Jiang was very happy. The think tanks and civil and military officials around him, if they said they could understand his intentions best, they would know what it meant when they coughed. It was Dai Li. With Dai Li and The Military Control Bureau has become much more aware, "Then let's do it, but remember one thing, don't leak the slightest bit of information!"

Dai Li knew that he had taken on two difficult tasks. One was to get the bargaining chips that the Japanese used to negotiate in the hands of the Germans, and the other was to figure out who was the one who made his scalp tingle just thinking about it. Vice Chairman Tang's attitude.

The first thing is easy. In the German embassy in China, there is an eyeliner installed by myself. In front of me, Germans are almost transparent. Tiger beard, Dai Li's throat and eyes were dry, and the spine felt cold. The tentacles of the Military Control Bureau touched all walks of life in the military and government of the Nationalist Government, except for the independent division system, which he dared not touch and could not touch.

Shen Jun, the director of the investigation department of the independent division, and Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department, did similar jobs to him, but these two, Dai Li thought, were the most difficult colleagues he had encountered in his life. It's easy to say, I met him once, and there is his file in the information of the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Bureau, so I know a little bit about it, but Dai Li knows that the information of the Military Command Bureau does not even contain a tiny bit of Shen Jun's details.

The most troublesome thing is Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department whose dragon is invisible. Up to now, in the archives of the military command bureau, there is still no information about this person. I don't even know what he looks like. If I want to know Tang Qiuli's thoughts and plans, he had to touch this vice-chairman, who was as easy as lifting a finger to overthrow a heavyweight military and political official in the government, and the old man couldn't do anything about it.

Dai Li didn't even dare to think about using secret spy methods. The core system of the Independent Division was impenetrable. The formidable colleagues Shen Jun and Yu Deshui, the terrifying methods, capabilities and work efficiency of the Investigation Division and the Intelligence Division of the Independent Division Dai Li believes that there is absolutely no possibility of hiding the secret agents of the important military command bureau when they appear beside Tang Qiuli. The old man can't afford it?

Of course, these words and difficulties cannot be said in front of the old man. When Dai Li walked out of the chairman's mansion, he was still extremely distressed about how to figure out Tang Qiuli's thoughts and plans, and his heart was full of this tricky problem. The errand, so that he stumbled and stepped on the air, and went down the steps.
