Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Nanjing negotiations

Tens of thousands of troops, under the orders of their respective commanders-in-chief, quickly retreated like frightened birds.

The pressure on Li Guosheng, commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, suddenly eased.With few major warlord forces posing military threats to him, he can finally concentrate on expanding and reorganizing his troops without being disturbed by the outside world...>

And at this moment, with the arrival of Li Guosheng, a great warlord who rose from another time and space, the battlefield of Nuo Da in the Central Plains has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The [-] Northwest Army and the Jinsui Army were eaten by Li Guosheng successively, and the troops that Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang could use to fight the Central Army on the battlefield were correspondingly reduced a lot.And Lao Jiang's central army, after completely withdrawing from the border of Shandong Province, directly concentrated all its forces and launched an unstoppable offensive against the two major warlord forces...>

In less than a week, the hundreds of thousands of Jinsui Army and Northwest Army fighting against the Central Army completely collapsed under the double blow of Chiang Kai-shek's military and politics...>

The new round of offensive ended, and the entire Central Plains War fell into a temporary military confrontation with the initial victory of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army.

At this time, the Red Party operating in the south, with the help of the cover of the Central Plains War, directly expanded the scope of control to dozens of counties and towns in less than a year.The "Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base", as the Red Party called it, also became more stable with the large-scale expansion of the Red Army.

It should be clear that the southeast of China has always been the main source of tax revenue for Chiang Kai-shek's central "government".Once the southeastern area is affected by the Red Party, the national government's tax revenue will be affected.The entire central "government", and even hundreds of thousands of central troops under its command.will be very badly affected.

In order not to affect the economic lifeline of the central government, and to prevent the red party's red ideology from spreading rapidly in the country.Affect the Kuomintang's dominance of the country.Lao Jiang, who had been focusing on the Central Plains War, had to start paying attention to this so-called Red Party army that also achieved "a single spark can start a prairie fire".

Of course, it is necessary to gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Red Army that has grown and grown.The Central Plains War, which has fallen into the stage of military confrontation, must end as soon as possible.Otherwise, the Central Army under Lao Jiang's command.You will fall into an embarrassing crisis situation where you are attacked from both sides.

Facing the excellent situation of the Central Plains War, facing the ever-growing Red Party army behind him.Although Lao Jiang was unwilling, he had to give up the Central Plains War that was about to win.

As a result, a clear-coded telegram began to spread quickly from the Nanjing central "government" to the entire land of China...>

"In order to avoid the loss of life caused by the war, let the people of the Central Plains get rid of the impact of the war earlier, engage in production, and live and work in peace and contentment. The central "government" decided: invite the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army, the Jinsui Army, and the Ninth Army...>

The crisis of the Ninth Army being besieged by heavy troops was lifted.Tens of thousands of recruits, according to the order, quickly formed an army... >

After a week of reorganization.Tens of thousands of recruits were directly reorganized into two field divisions, a mountain division and a security division.In addition to a field division located on the Liaodong Peninsula, a total of five main divisions began to appear in the Ninth Army's combat order.

Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, who is in charge of the reorganization of the troops, is sitting in front of Li Guosheng with a smile on his face at this moment, reporting the specific progress and problems of the reorganization of the troops...>

"Commander-in-Chief, after a week of hard work, the reorganization of the five main divisions has been basically completed. Except for the Mountain Division and the Guard Division, there are three remaining main divisions, and the headquarters needs to appoint middle and senior officers above the regiment level...>

"Another question. At present, the external names of the various combat units of our Ninth Army are very confusing. What I mean is: can we use this reorganization of the troops to completely unify the formation and names of the troops." Facing Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng , Jiang Baili didn't hold back at all, and directly stated the two problems that were backlogged in his heart.

For the answers to the two questions, Li Guosheng believes that Jiang Baili, as his old partner, must have a specific answer in his heart.However, in order to show his supremacy in the Ninth Army, Jiang Baili did not go beyond the slightest, and was very clear about his responsibilities as a subordinate.I hope that as the commander-in-chief, I can personally resolve these major issues related to the command of the troops, and ensure that the entire Ninth Army is in my own hands.

After quickly casting a glance of admiration to Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, he said: "Chief of Staff, let's solve the problem of the title of the troops first...>

"Wang Guoli's division was changed to the 73rd Division of the Ninth Army, Zhang Yusheng's division was changed to the 74th Division of the Ninth Army, Zhou Xingguo's division was changed to the 75th Division, Zhu Shengda's division was renamed to the 76th Division, Luo Zhang's division was renamed to the 77th Division, and Luo Qiyuan's division was renamed to the 78th Division. For the [-] division...>

"Appoint Sun Lianzhong as the commander of the 79th Division, stationed in Jining...>

"Zhang Huxiao is the commander of the security division. He has three brigades and nine regiments under his command. They are stationed in Jinan and Yiyuan respectively. He is responsible for the defense and security of Jinan, the provincial capital, and Yiyuan, the location of the military industrial group under our army...>

"As for the three local security divisions that need to be expanded next, we should follow the policy we formulated a week ago, using the remaining prisoners of war in our hands, plus slowly recruiting new recruits, step by step... >

After the business was settled, Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng immediately took out the telegram from the Central Committee that he had just received.Facing Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, he said with a smile on his face: "Chief of Staff, this is a telegram that Lao Jiang just sent. Not surprisingly, the Central Plains War that has lasted for half a year is coming to an end...>

"Uh...>

After quickly scanning the content of the telegram, I was pleasantly surprised.Immediately, it appeared on Jiang Baili's face.Facing Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng, he spoke with his eyes shining.

"Commander-in-Chief. I thought that this negotiation was not only an opportunity for Chiang Kai-shek. It was also an unprecedented opportunity for my Ninth Army?"

"Could it be that you, Chief of Staff, also want to get a share of this negotiation...>

As far as the current China is concerned, the most attractive thing to Li Guosheng, apart from talents from various fields, is only land and territory.However, relying on the existing strength of the Ninth Army.Control the entire Shandong and Liaodong Peninsula, although there is more than enough rubbing.However, after removing a certain number of foreign attack troops, the entire Shandong Province is also the maximum limit that the Ninth Army can control the territory at present.

Therefore, for this negotiation, although Li Guosheng has the mentality of taking advantage.but.I didn't expect to get a share of it.

Now, I suddenly heard a suggestion from Jiang Baili, a political veteran.In Li Guosheng's heart, he subconsciously began to activate.

As one's own strength grows stronger, the occupied territory becomes bigger and bigger.Driven by the desire for power, but also for the future World War II process, he can grasp more power in his hands.Take a share of the Chinese nation in the world war.Li Guosheng's mentality has changed invisibly.I hope that I can go higher before the outbreak of the world war.

His eyes lit up, and he stared expectantly, waiting for Chief of Staff Jiang Baili to answer.

Li Guosheng was not disappointed.Under the gaze of his own eyes, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili.He directly gave Li Guosheng a very confident answer: "Commander-in-chief, if we can't get a share of this negotiation, then our battles in Hengshui, Shangqiu, and even Zaozhuang will be in vain. Tens of thousands of casualties on the battlefield Soldiers, don’t they just shed blood and die in vain...>

"However, in order to achieve greater benefits in the negotiations, I still need the military to cooperate with certain military operations?"

"How to cooperate...>

Jiang Baili did not hesitate.He stood up directly from his seat, walked to the map, and said.

"Sun Lianzhong's troops stationed in Jining quickly moved towards Shangqiu...>

Facing Jiang Baili's deployment, Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng was stunned by fright.Facing Jiang Baili, he asked back with a look of astonishment: "Chief of Staff, I would like to ask, how much benefit do you plan to exchange for Shandong Province through this negotiation?"

"Henan, a part of Hebei, one or two large coal mines controlled by Yan Xishan in Shanxi, several important military towns in the Liaodong Peninsula still controlled by Zhang Xueliang...>

The Nanjing central "government" has been negotiating for two days on the final distribution and relinquishing of the benefits of the Central Plains War.However, during these two days, Nuo Da's conference room was full of quarrels besides quarrels, without any substantial results at all.

A new day began again. Jiang Baili, the negotiator of the Ninth Army, walked into the meeting room with a confident face just like the previous two days.Like a vegetable market, the noise of noisy disputes and eating filled Jiang Baili's ears.

Regarding the current situation, Jiang Baili directly ignored it.Like He Yingqin, the representative of the central "government", he sat in the corner of the office unmoved.While sipping tea, he calmly watched the ferocious faces of dozens of negotiators during the dispute.

At this moment, a staff adjutant of the central "government" quickly pushed open the door of the meeting room.After quickly scanning the meeting room, a pair of eyes stayed on He Yingqin and walked over quickly. [

After whispering a few words in He Yingqin's ear, he immediately delivered a document full of information to He Yingqin, and quickly left the conference room.

He Yingqin, who was smiling, quickly scanned the content of the telegram.While shocked, he quickly turned to Jiang Baili, who was sitting next to him with a calm expression on his face.

"Brother Baili. I never thought that the Ninth Army would have such a backhand. It seems that you, the Ninth Army, will definitely get the most benefit from this negotiation... >

"Minister He, you are joking. As far as I know, the central 'government' has not been idle during the negotiation process...>

"Uh...>

but.As the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, He Yingqin still reacted in a very short time.To Jiang Baili beside him, he continued to speak unmoved.

"Brother Baili, I don't know where your information comes from. However, I still hope that the Ninth Army will not use this method on the central government. Although the central government hopes that this battle will end as soon as possible. However, the combat effectiveness of the hundreds of thousands of central troops under the command of the central "government" has not been weakened in any way."

Jiang Baili smiled and said, "Minister He was joking...>

"However. I hope Minister He can see that we belong to the same camp, and in the next negotiations, give me as much help as possible to the Ninth Army. If the negotiation ends smoothly, my Ninth Army will also encircle and suppress the Central Army In the military operations of the Southern Red Party, provide assistance as much as possible. At the same time, continue to keep secret the secret actions taken by the central "government"."

In one sentence, it expresses the predicament that the central "government" is currently in.At the same time, take advantage of the current difficulties faced by the central "government" to coerce the other party to achieve their ultimate goals.

After hearing what Jiang Baili said, He Yingqin frowned immediately.However, when I think that if I don't agree with the other party, I may face the crisis of fighting on two fronts in the process of encircling and suppressing the Red Party.

More importantly, the central government's ongoing secret operation of "draining the bottom line" once it is made public, the central government will once again fall into isolation.Facing Jiang Baili who was smiling, but hiding a knife in his smile.Minister He Yingqin had to suppress the anger and aggrieved in his heart, and spoke.

"Well said, well said...>

He Yingqin was not a vegetarian either. While agreeing, he threatened directly with the positive image of the Ninth Army.Once the Ninth Army does something overreaching, Lao Jiang's central "government" will definitely rely on its strong public opinion power to completely discredit the image of the Ninth Army in the hearts of the people across the country...>

Of course, it is not clear whether the public opinion attack will be of any use to Li Guosheng, who has grown and grown at this moment.

After taking a deep look at the unassuming and silent He Yingqin in front of him, a smile quickly flashed across Jiang Baili's face.He raised his right hand, made a gesture of shaking hands, and said.

"In this case, Minister He, I wish us a happy cooperation... >

"Brother Baili, then wish us a happy cooperation... >

The two's right hands were quickly held together, which directly means that in this negotiation, the two forces will support each other, advance and retreat together, and strive for the greatest benefit from the anti-Jiang army...>

And at this moment, the entire meeting room suddenly became silent unexpectedly.

He Yingqin, representing the central government, and Jiang Baili, representing the Ninth Army.The negotiators of the two powerful forces actually walked together, holding hands together at this embarrassing moment.What does this mean?

Has some kind of secret agreement been reached between the Ninth Army and the central "government"?

Between the Ninth Army and the central "government", in response to this negotiation, do they plan to advance and retreat together to suppress the anti-Chiang army?

In the eyes of these negotiators, no matter what the reason, it is unimaginable to them.

Because they all know: With their temporary defeat in the Central Plains War, they are no longer capable of fighting against the powerful military strength combined by the central government and the Ninth Army.

Seeing everyone looking at him one after another, a knowing smile quickly flashed across their faces.Without giving any explanation, he went straight back to his seat and continued to remain silent.

Because both of them knew that it would not be long before these negotiators would receive the latest negotiating request from their boss.What's more, there will be some orders asking them to make concessions in the negotiations, end the negotiations as soon as possible, and end the Central Plains War.

Thus, the whole day of negotiations was discovered because of the handshake between Jiang Baili and He Yingqin.The entire meeting room has been shrouded in undercurrents.

And this kind of atmosphere lasted until the evening, and it changed because of the content of a public power-up... >
