Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"Everyone's discussion just now was very good, and they were all very constructive suggestions. In fact, regarding the Wu Song Tiger Fighting Plan, the staff department and I have different directions." Wang Zhenyu raised everyone's spirits when he opened his mouth, and listened carefully go down.

"The so-called Northern Expeditionary Army, is it necessary to invade Beijing? Is it necessary to use this time to complete the national unification? My personal opinion is not, because Japan is indeed an unavoidable problem. We really cannot and dare not The safety of the hundreds of thousands of Northern Expeditionary troops is placed above the safety of the Japanese. Then there is only one first target for this operation, and that is Henan Province. We must take this province in the Central Plains, and conduct assault operations in any direction from here It will be very convenient, so we don’t need to discuss such a strategic point. All departments have to prepare for the march when they go back, think through all the details, and don’t make any big mistakes. In addition, Shandong and I have thought about the issue of Zhili for a long time, but the plan to attack Beijing has been abolished. I won’t say much about the specific reasons here, but one thing is certain. I don’t want to fight not only in Beijing, but also in Zhili and Shandong. The Northern Expedition What the army really needs to do is to defeat the Zhilu coalition forces of the Fengtian and Antian forces in one go in the Xuzhou area, to show the prestige of our army, and to let our enemies know how to be afraid from now on."

"Commander, at this time we don't take Beijing and Shandong, and we don't complete the reunification as soon as possible, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Xu Yuanquan was the first to stand up and raise objections.

"What's wrong?"

"The first one is that the Nanjing side is looking forward to our reunification every day, and the second is that after this opportunity is missed, Japan will send troops if the reunification by force is not guaranteed." Speaking of this, Xu Yuanquan took out a document: "This It is the European analysis report sent by the staff of the expeditionary force. They predict that due to the outstanding performance of our expeditionary force, the war situation in Europe is now moving in a direction that is beneficial to Britain and France, and it is estimated that within a year, this damn war It's almost over."

"In other words, the unification of our country will soon be internationalized, right?" Wang Zhenyu interjected.

"Comrades, I have seen all these points and are very clear, but I still hope that everyone can accept my opinion and turn this Northern Expedition into a show of military strength rather than a battle of unity. The reason why we chose this The fundamental reason is that we are not yet certain of defeating Japan militarily. At the same time, there is another problem, that is, in Shandong and Northeast China, these places are already in the sphere of influence of the Japanese, and Lushun and Qingdao are also in the hands of the Japanese. Here, when the European War ends in the future, these issues will all be resolved through negotiations. Whoever decides to negotiate will naturally be the central government. If they fail to negotiate, they will be traitors. So let's not fight for the green hat of the central government. Zhang Zuolin likes it Just let him wear it, do you understand?"

Having said that, everyone is happy.Xu Yuanquan also nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief is wise, this is indeed something that the humble officials did not expect, but we will have to face these problems sooner or later!"

Wang Zhenyu stood up with his hands behind his back, paced around the table and said: "Governing the country is like eating, you have to eat one bite at a time, you have to eat the meat first and then the bones. So we have to start with the easy and then the difficult. It should be in Shandong, Zhili and the northeast, but in the northwest. Now that the Russians are in civil strife, we should take advantage of their weakness to take back the areas they took away from the decadent former Qing, instead of Busy to snatch the nominal central government. By the way, there is another account you have to settle, and that is the issue of tariffs. The tariff agreement negotiated with Britain and France did not include the two provinces of Shandong and Zhili. And once we win Since Zhang Zuolin likes to sit in the big position in Beijing, let him do it. As long as he can afford the compensation, we will not go for him. Worrying. Hahaha..."

There was another burst of laughter in the meeting room. . .

"So, Brother Jiansheng and Brother Baili, you still have to work hard. This northward plan is based on the defense, but the defense must show our prestige, so that Feng Jun will feel pain when he thinks of us. Our name is trembling all over the body. The Wu Song Tiger Fighting Plan is just an auxiliary plan. Based on this plan, we need to formulate a new moon plan for the northwest land. Why is it called the new moon plan, because the farther west you go, the closer you are Muslims. As for how big the national government’s jurisdiction can be, it will ultimately be resolved by you fighting hard this time.”

Bai Chongxi and the others nodded, expressing that there was no problem. At this time, Wan Yaohuang took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "Oh, it's eight o'clock in the evening, no, the boss has to take care of the meal, there is no reason to eat casually at noon, and we have to eat ourselves at night." of."

Hahaha. . .The generals at the scene all laughed, and booed one after another, insisting on eating.

Wang Zhenyu was also happy, and waved his hand: "Secretary Chen, go, tell the kitchen, good wine and good food will be served, and these foodies will be killed..."

The meeting on Wang Zhenyu's side came out with results, but on the other side in Guangzhou, it was a day-to-day grind.However, it is not surprising that the order given to the Guangzhou General Station by the top of the National Security Bureau is only to establish contact and provide some help. There are neither short-term requirements nor long-term goals.Therefore, both Fang Zhenwu and Zheng Jiemin talked very easily. In stark contrast, the young Ruan Youhao and Ruan Aiguo, although one supported the royal family and the other opposed the royal family, they were very happy. Assistance was unanimously offered.Among them, Ruan Youyou's assistance is a bit reliable. It is hoped that the National Government can negotiate with the French through the Beijing government and restore the dominance of the Vietnamese royal family to a certain extent. Obviously, the Vietnamese king is not a role of a puppet with peace of mind.And Nguyen Aiguo, that is, Comrade Ho Chi Minh, is much more radical. After all, he is a proletarian worker, and he is different from the big rich in the south like Nguyen Ho Chi Minh.Ho Chi Minh talked straightforwardly with Zheng Jiemin about driving out the French colonists by force. . .

"Yaoquan, what we need most now is to use force to overthrow the decadent Vietnamese royal family and drive out the French colonists. For this reason, I hope you can help me contact high-level figures in the Nationalist government through your classmates. I am willing to establish a A Vietnamese National Socialist Party, emulate your country, restore the motherland..."

In fact, neither the Vietnamese royal family nor the grassroots like Ho Chi Minh is what Wang Zhenyu wants to contact, but the Vietnamese who is most suitable for support and control is Pan Peizhu.

Vietnamese modern patriots.Originally named Pan Wenshan, aliased as Pan Shihan, nicknamed Chaonan.Born in Nam Tan County, Nghe An Province, into a family of rural school teachers.He studied the scriptures with his father since he was a child, and he is proficient in Chinese. In 1885, more than 100 students gathered to form a student army to respond to the "Qinwang Movement".Since 1900, he has contacted patriots all over the country and carried out anti-French activities. In May 1904, the Vietnam Restoration Association was established with the purpose of restoring Vietnam and establishing a constitutional monarchy. Went to Japan in early 5, met Liang Qichao, Sun Yat-sen, Zhang Taiyan and others successively, and was deeply influenced by Liang Qichao and Sun Yat-sen; also had contact with Okuma Shigenobu, Inuyang Takeshi, Miyazaki Toten and others, and carried out revolutionary work in Japan.At the same time, he wrote anti-French articles such as "Overseas Blood Book" and "Ai Yue Diao Dian".After that, he traveled between Japan and China many times, and secretly contacted domestic anti-French elements, organized young students to study in Japan, and set off the famous Journey to the East movement.Under his influence, Hanoi established Tokyo Yiju, and the Restoration Movement took place in Zhongqi. In November 1905, the French colonists seized the Tokyo Juku, suppressed the Restoration Movement, and colluded with the Japanese ruling class to sabotage the Eastward Journey Movement. In November 1907, the Japanese government ordered the dissolution of the Vietnamese Student Organization.Pan Peizhu began to turn to "those who are sick with me", and established the East Asian League (the Asian League, also known as the Asian Peace Association) with revolutionaries from China, North Korea, India, the Philippines and other countries in Japan.He also organized the Guangxi-Yunnan-Vietnam Alliance with Chinese Yunnan and Guangxi students studying in Japan to support each other and jointly oppose imperialism. He was deported by the Japanese government in 11, left Japan for Guangzhou, and went to Thailand in 1908. In January 11, he went to Guangzhou from Thailand.Under the influence of the Revolution of 1909. In February 1910, the Restoration Association was reorganized, and the Vietnam Restoration Association was established and served as Prime Minister. In August, together with Su Shaolou, Deng Jingya and other Chinese people, he established the Zhenhua Xingya Association in Guangzhou.At the same time, members of the Restoration Society were sent back to China with weapons.When Sun Yat-sen became the president of the Nanjing Provisional Government, Pan Peizhu went to Nanjing to meet with Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing. In 1912, he was arrested and imprisoned in Guangzhou, and wrote "Book from Prison", describing his anti-fa activities.

However, what is different from history is that in 1916, after the youth army captured Guangzhou, Pan Peizhu was released, and then Pan Peizhu joined Sun Wen's Chinese Revolutionary Party, and organized hundreds of Vietnamese youths to join in the Fujian campaign, Zhejiang recovery and other battles .

After the establishment of the National Government, Pan Peizhu, who had a good personal relationship with Sun Yat-sen, took up the position of the National Government, as the director of the Institute of East Asian Culture under the Ministry of Education of the National Government, and a director-level cadre. After Sun Wen became the chairman of the National Government in March 1917, Pan Peizhu served as the private senior adviser to the chairman of the National Government and the director of the Nanyang Liaison Office. After the assassination in August, Pan Peizhu resigned from all positions in order to express her dissatisfaction with Wang Zhenyu's atrocities in forcing Sun Wen to resign, and ignored several tentative contacts from the National Security Bureau.

That's why there was the previous scene. The senior officials of the National Security Bureau still didn't believe that without Butcher Zhang, they would have to eat hairy pigs. They decided to start a new business.However, Zhou Lan personally thinks that neither the Vietnamese royal family nor the East Asian Huaxing Association are as suitable as this Pan Peizhu.
