The Republic of Heroes

Suddenly, Jiang Zhongzheng's heart trembled, and he thought of an uncertain factor.But he couldn't believe that things wouldn't be such a coincidence, and his little worry might be unnecessary at all, because it was almost an impossible task to reverse at that point.Then he expanded, but so what?He holds hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers, who can resist him?

Just when Jiang Zhongzheng was thinking wildly, Wu Xiaoliang spoke first, but the content of his speech surprised him, which was no longer expected.

"Although the First World War in Songhu is over, the Japanese aggressors will perish us and China will not die. Xiaoliang's only purpose in coming to Nanjing is to promote domestic reconciliation as soon as possible. Everyone's muzzle is the same as the muzzle of the outside world." The pronunciation of the words was very heavy, and then he added: "The top priority of the unanimous foreign policy is the Japanese invaders!"

Even Lao Jiang had to admit that China is indeed facing an unprecedented crisis at this moment. The Japanese occupied the four eastern provinces. Although there was a temporary truce, it was digesting the newly occupied land. Once digested successfully, they would erode south again North China is not impossible.But domestic interests make it possible for him to give up easily?

The answer is no, it is impossible, and the domestic forces are criss-crossed. Even reconciliation is only a superficial illusion. Everyone is fighting openly and secretly, and hindering each other. Today you stab me with a knife, and tomorrow I will chop you with an axe. How can it be possible to concentrate on the outside world?Preserving their strength is their best choice when things come to an end. Is Zhang Hanqing the best example soon?He didn't even dare to fire a gun and pretend to defend his hometown.

In this situation, Lao Jiang also wanted to vomit bitterness. Usually, everyone is the emperor of his own one-acre three-point land and will not let him intervene. When a strong enemy appears, everyone will be discouraged. This time he needs to be the leader again. , Just like this Songhu War, except for a few of his Central Army who sent troops, it’s not that they have nothing to do with themselves. played a decisive role.

Old Jiang's gaze could not help but sweep over Wu Xiaoliang's increasingly angular face, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes. Deep down in his heart, he admired this young general very much. It is inevitable, if there is no distinction between high and low now, it must be distinguished in the future. In short, this is a matter of war sooner or later.

Therefore, Lao Jiang wanted to resist the Japanese, and he did not want to compromise in his heart.But he is a politician, and a politician must start from the actual situation and constantly compromise with the reality so as to maximize his interests.In his philosophy, as Yang Yongtai said, "to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside."If the internal troubles are not eliminated, sooner or later China will perish from both internal and external attacks.The Ming Dynasty back then was the best example. The major bandits in the country rebelled and rebelled, and Huang Taiji, the emperor of Jin outside the customs, invaded the Great Wall from time to time.The Ming army was exhausted, tearing down the east wall and repairing the east wall, until finally when there was nothing to tear down and nothing to mend, Daming died.

The same is true for China at this time. Only by unifying the country and establishing a strong government can it be possible to complete the preparations for the anti-Japanese war before Japan reveals its ambition to invade China in an all-round way.Therefore, Wu Xiaoliang, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Zhang Xueliang are all people he must settle.

Now, Jiang Zhongzheng seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and aimed his guns at Wu Xiaoliang, hoping to subdue this member in one fell swoop to serve him.But before the Shandong army was driven out of Henan and his base Shandong was taken over, this wish could not be realized.Therefore, he has enough reasons to reconcile if he does not vote, but domestic public opinion has to pretend to agree to the cooperation proposals of those in the north who are unwilling to stop the power supply.

Let's talk, anyway, you can talk here, and call there as usual.

Although Lao Jiang was false to Wu Xiaoliang in the matter of negotiations, he was still very serious in discussing issues that have always been external.

"Dare to ask Weizhong, is domestic reconciliation the real reconciliation? Can the big guys work together?"

At this point, he paused, waiting for Wu Xiaoliang's answer. Does this answer need to be considered?No, a person can guess it with his toes.It will definitely not be a true reconciliation, and it will certainly not be a concerted effort. No one is big and the country is still a mess, with no cohesion at all.Jiang Zhongzheng knew this, and Wu Xiaoliang knew it well.

Jiang Zhongzheng asked again.

"Weizhong told me, how can a state of disunity be united to the outside world, and how to fight against the brutal Japanese invaders? Therefore, to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home, and all domestic ministries must accept the reorganization of the central government..."

Jiang Zhongzheng stopped talking about the next thing. To put it bluntly, he wants to reorganize the troops of other forces. In fact, a more appropriate name should be "incorporation".

Wu Xiaoliang smiled. The idea is good, but the reality is cruel. As far as the actual situation is concerned, no one has swallowed the absolute power of another force. Although Jiang Zhongzheng is the most powerful among them, he wants to take a bite. It is also very difficult to swallow one of them.This difficulty is no less than asking a lady who only serves raw rice for four to cook cooked rice for ten.

In his previous life, Lao Jiang only ousted Feng Yan after he won a decisive victory. As for the leader of their tribe who had finally stepped down, he, Jiang, was just a joke, and he didn't fart well when he talked.

In this life, coupled with his Shandong Army, he may not even be able to achieve his goal of forcing Feng Yan or resigning himself.

"In the chairman's opinion, how will the situation develop?"

Is there even a question?Of course, the Shandong army was beaten to nothing, and you, Wu Xiaoliang, went to the field and left Shandong to settle the matter.He has been in the top position for a long time, and there are fewer and fewer people arguing with him. Today Wu Xiaoliang is constantly attacking with words, forcing him to fight back with words. In fact, it is useless to fight with words, but it is impossible to let Wu Xiaoliang continue to be arrogant and talk nonsense. Therefore, we have no choice but to strike later and preempt others.

Jiang Zhongzheng also understood that the situation Wu Xiaoliang asked was obviously not only the development trend of the Second Central Plains War, but also the trend between China and Japan.

"The next target of the Japanese invaders must be Hanqing. Hanqing is in danger. I plan to transfer him to the south, which is also considered to save his soldiers in the Northeast who have not achieved much."

Wu Xiaoliang sneered in his heart. It was a big joke for Lao Jiang to want to preserve the seeds of the Northeast Army. He wished that the Northeast Army would disappear on the earth immediately.Most likely, they want to transfer him to the south to suppress the bandits, but now that he has his own Shandong Army, Zhang Xueliang will stay in Hebei for a while.As for how long they can stay, it depends on how long the Japanese invaders need to buffer, the result of the Second Central Plains War between myself and Lao Jiang, and the development trend of Jiangxi banditry.

He simply replied casually: "The situation is very tense now, but it is inconvenient to transfer Han Qing to the south."

At this time, an attendant came in from the door, whispered something to Jiang Zhongzheng, handed a piece of paper to him, and then turned to go out.I saw that Jiang Zhongzheng's face was so gloomy and terrifying that he could even drip water.But then he laughed and said:

"Weizhong is a good means. It seems that Han Qing will not be able to go south in a short time."

A coldness in his heart began to spread to his whole body. Until now, the two battlefields are in a stalemate. Only Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army stays out of the matter. Originally, he only needs to order the Northeast Army on the north bank of the Yellow River to cross the river. Was it defeated overnight?And it was so unbelievable that he lost so badly.

Wu Xiaoliang smiled again. It seems that Jiang's intelligence work is really extraordinary. After discussing with Zhang Xueliang, he strictly kept this news secret and did not allow it to be leaked to anyone. However, Jiang Zhongzheng found out in the end. Since the confidential information It has been seen through by the righteous master, and keeping it secret would be a futile waste of effort, so he said straightforwardly:

"The main force of the 57th Division is about to go south. I wonder if Cixiu can withstand the strong pressure?"

The 57th Division is the backbone of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. Almost all tough battles are fought by the 57th Division as the backbone. Therefore, the combat effectiveness can be seen. The team of ordinary domestic warlords is not worth mentioning in front of it, but it is not worth mentioning. It should also be mentioned that an army that turned from the Jin Dynasty and was reorganized into a division by him has already gone north from Jiangsu.

Jiang Zhongzheng didn't intend to disclose any important information to Wu Xiaoliang, so he just had an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth, and didn't argue with him anymore.

The dignified leader didn't intend to use his tongue all the time, so he got up from the chair he was sitting on, and said in a relaxed manner:

"The air circulation in the room is not good, and it's a bit stuffy. Weizhong might as well accompany me for a walk in the garden."

Wu Xiaoliang readily agreed, and he was unwilling to fight with Jiang Zhongzheng in the house. After all, today is the time for negotiation, and it is not a problem to waste time in Nanjing like this. Now that Zhang Xueliang has completely fallen for him, he might as well go ahead Spread the cards out.The big deal is that Henan is one and a half, and if he wants Wu Xiaoliang to go, even if he agrees, his subordinates will not agree.

The two left the house one after the other, the garden was full of trees and winding paths leading to secluded places, it was indeed a good place to relax and cultivate one's mind, half of the impatience that had just been inexplicably disappeared.

It was said to be a walk, but it couldn't really just be a walk. Jiang Zhong changed his front and said solemnly: "Tomorrow Huanzhang and Baichuan will arrive in Nanjing, so how about the date of the meeting on the [-]th?"

Wu Xiaoliang was taken aback. Didn't he say it was their representatives?Why did I come here in person when the matter came to an end?But soon he figured it out, these two were Lao Jiang's old enemies, and the three of them separated and reunited several times, and they had long since distrusted each other. This old opponent played tricks halfway, it seems that his previous judgment was still wrong.

The [-]th day must be an extremely wonderful day, really gathered together...
