Age of Rebirth

Chapter 580: Miscalculation

In response to Tang Qiuli shooting Tang Enbo, commander of the Eighth Army Corps of the Central Army, and 28 major-general officers in Xiangfan, Hubei, and dismissing the Eighth Army Corps, Chairman Chiang held a plenary meeting of the Military Committee at his official residence to discuss how to deal with the incident. In fact, it is to show an attitude. For such a big matter, the national government has to express its position.

These central government officials are all veterans who have been in the officialdom for many years. After going through wind and rain, they have all cultivated to become good. Obviously, this matter is either one or the other, or Tang Qiuli did it right, or Tang Qiuli did it Excessively, without knowing the depth of the water, no one took the lead, and Chairman Jiang was so angry that he almost scolded his mother, these old fritters.

At this moment, a person stood up, and everyone was quite surprised. It was none other than Chen Guofu, the organization director of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Low-key, polite, try to hide everything behind the scenes, unlike He Yingqin, for fear that others will not know that he is one of the most powerful people in the government.

Even so, who doesn't know that the Chen family brothers are in charge of the Communist Party's power? There is a saying in the market that "the Jiang family is the Chen family party," which shows that the power of the Chen family brothers in the national government During a meeting of the Central Committee Standing Committee to discuss how to deal with the Xi'an Incident, Chen Guofu pressed the wrong treasure and sat on He Yingqin's bench, making a big somersault. [

Chairman Jiang escaped from danger in Xi'an, and He Yingqin was chased by Tang Qiuli to the end, and was kicked out of the power center of the state government. Because Chen Guofu was not the mastermind, Chairman Jiang didn't go into it too deeply, but just ignored him for a long time. Chen Guofu lived in seclusion and acted cautiously , even more like in the clouds, why is this today?The officials all had question marks in their hearts.

Chen Guofu was the first to stand up and wanted to express his opinion. The members pricked up their ears to see what the head of the organization had to say. The central government cannot remain silent on this matter, even if Tang Enbo deserves to be killed, Tang Qiuli, who is the vice chairman of the Military Commission, is in violation of the procedure if he handles this matter like this."

After saying this, everyone became interested. Knowing that this was just a prologue, and the meat of the show was still to come, Chen Guofu went on to say: "On the surface, it seems that Vice Chairman Tang's purpose is to enforce military discipline. It's so simple, just imagine, Tang Qiuli today has hundreds of thousands of well-equipped and well-trained troops in his hands, and controls half of the country in the north. His strength can almost rival the central government. If we let it continue to develop, the consequences will be worrisome!"

"Killing Tang Enbo and disbanding the Eighth Army, even if the evidence is convincing, it should be submitted to the military committee of the government. After he finished the matter, he notified the military committee. Where, if officials from other places follow the same procedure, where is the authority of the central government? On the surface, Tang is exercising military discipline, but in fact, he killed the top generals of the Communist Party of China without authorization, annexed the central army, and Strengthen your own strength, its intentions are worthy of everyone's vigilance!"

After Chen Guofu finished speaking, he sat down with a natural demeanor. There were crows and sparrows in the conference room, and the officials couldn't help but feel tense. Why did this Chen Guofu suppress Tang Qiuli like this? You know, these words are cruel and poisonous enough , but the one that could put Tang Qiuli to death, directly stabbed Chairman Jiang's lung tube, the old man hated this most.

Chairman Jiang sitting at the head remained calm. He had already seen the reactions of these senior officials. Chen Guofu's words had indeed touched his bottom line. In China, a person who is equal to him appears to endanger his authority, and Chen Guofu is hitting his vital point.

However, he didn't fully believe Chen Guofu's words. You must know that Tang Qiuli had many opportunities to replace himself. The most typical one was the Xi'an Incident, but he didn't do so, and he didn't believe Tang Qiuli would do this either. Do, from the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War to the present, Tang Qiuli's actions have also proved his own judgment. The reason why Chen Guofu did this should have his own purpose.

But Chen Guofu's words still made Generalissimo Jiang very uncomfortable. It felt like eating something unclean, stuffed in his chest, and he coughed dryly. How should we deal with it?" Chen Guofu replied sinisterly: "According to my idea, to lure and kill him, we can emulate the method of dealing with Han Fuju!"

Chen Guofu's words were like a cold wind soaking into the bone marrow. In the conference room, the temperature dropped to zero in an instant. With such a method, I was at a loss for a while, and all turned my attention to Chairman Jiang.

Chairman Jiang sat up straight in shock, his eyes stared at Chen Guofu like a bird of prey, as if he wanted to see through his heart. The action ended in failure, and his hatred for Tang Qiuli grew day by day. Today, he had such an opportunity, and he must not miss it.

However, the first shot was fired, but he didn't get the expected response, and he became a lonely person. He suddenly felt a little regretful, and he had acted too hastily. Turn your gaze to Chairman Jiang.

The shock in Chairman Jiang's heart was stronger than anyone else's. Chen Guofu's words were far beyond his expectations. He had thought of all kinds of methods Chen Guofu wanted to say, such as ascending and descending secretly, and transferring Tang Qiuli to the central government. He could also transfer the troops of the Independent Division from the north to the south, and even put Tang Qiuli under house arrest in Nanjing, as he did with Zhang Xueliang, under the supervision of the Central Army. Proposed to kill Tang Qiuli.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Generalissimo Jiang. Tang Qiuli is not Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army is a bereaved dog and a duckweed. They can't ride the big waves either.

Tang Qiuli was not even Han Fuju. Han Fuju left Shandong and fled without firing a single shot. He almost caused his direct line troops on the Songhu battlefield to be caught between two sides of the Japanese army. Capital, besides, he fled before fighting, the evidence is conclusive, and he killed Han Fuju himself, not only was no one accused, on the contrary, the people of the country applauded, which played a major role in encouraging the people's anti-Japanese sentiment.

Tang Qiuli is now a strong army, with strong centripetal force and cohesion, and his subordinates are all capable and loyal generals. Disintegration, bribery and temptation will not work. What's more, Tang Qiuli is in the north, blocking for himself With the Japanese army of one million, if Tang Qiu wanted to shake hands with the Japanese and propose to divide China, the Japanese would give him North China without hesitation and use all their strength against themselves.

The members of the military committee were obviously shocked by Chen Guofu's words. It is hard to guarantee that they did not have a close personal relationship with Tang Qiuli. Once Chen Guofu's words reached Tang Qiuli's ears, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even Tang Qiuli Leaving passive sabotage, the southern front will soon be tight. This Chen Guofu has more than failed to succeed, what kind of heart is hidden under his seemingly loyal and restrained appearance?Why did he try his best to attack Tang Qiuli? What is the reason?In the future, pay more attention to him.

Thinking of this, Chairman Jiang suddenly changed his color, slammed the table, and reprimanded loudly: "Minister Chen, as an important member of the state government and a senior cadre in the party, you actually said such a thing, you want to punish a man with outstanding military exploits who fought on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War." The mainstay of the famous general, the vice chairman of the military committee, what is the intention of killing, you are responsible for today's words!"

Speaking of this, Generalissimo Jiang looked heartbroken, and an unhealthy blush appeared on his face, "All the evidence shows that Tang Enbo deserves to be killed. At this moment when all the people are fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders, as a senior general of the Communist Party of China , fleeing before the battle, losing the city and losing the land, and putting the battle situation in extreme danger, they should be killed. Vice Chairman Tang made a decisive decision. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be taken. It is also a warning to all officers and soldiers of the Communist Party of China. Minister, I am very saddened by your words, and I will suggest to the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to consider whether it is suitable for you to serve as the organization minister again. Now, please leave the conference room, you are not qualified to participate in such a meeting."

Chen Guofu was like a thunderbolt, he lifted a stone and hit his own foot. The stone was too big, not only smashed his feet, but also smashed his head. Kicked out of the meeting room, does this mean that, like He Yingqin, he is far away from the center of power and becomes a marginalized person? [

Chen Guofu turned pale and staggered out of the conference room. The members of the military committee were shocked again. They were shocked too much today. They did not expect that Chairman Jiang would treat Chen Guofu in such a manner. Everyone knew that Chen Guofu and The relationship between the old man, the old man regards the Chen brothers as nephews. The two brothers sit firmly in the position of the head of the party organization and cultivate party members. None of them was missing, which shows the old man's trust in them.

It seems that Tang Qiuli has an unshakable and detached position in Chairman Jiang's mind. It is also true that anyone who shot the old man's confidant and favorite general on the spot, plus more than 20 major generals, would not be able to bear it. In the end, since Generalissimo Jiang has expressed his opinion, and he knows the elegant meaning by hearing the string song, how can these elite officials not know what to say?

A meeting with murderous intentions, because of Chairman Jiang's attitude, instantly changed the direction of the wind and disappeared. In China, politics is sometimes very interesting!
