Chapter 112 Luochuan Conference (2)

"Chairman, Commander-in-Chief..." Zeng Yiyang looked slightly embarrassed, and after cheering up, he saluted the two supreme leaders of the party's army with respect.

Unlike other senior cadres in the military, Zeng Yiyang rarely appears in front of central leaders, but he can always bring unexpected surprises.

Just like now, the central leaders who were still troubled by the border just now smiled when they saw Zeng Yiyang. In their eyes, a junior who was carefully caring grew up in constant struggle. They saw the hope of revolution, and only in the process of different talents growing up can the party's cause succeed.

"Zeng Yiyang, you little comrade, have learned to be polite when you go out. Why isn't you as free and easy as you are in Jiangxi? You can ask for a gun if you reach out?" Although Mr. Zhu was very happy, Zeng Yiyang could remember him and brought gifts to his and his wife. Although it was not very expensive clothes, it also expressed the wishes of his younger generations.

Although it was already summer, when winter came, Mr. Zhu only had a goatskin coat, which seemed warm, but avoided a little shabby.

Look, the clothes sent by Zeng Yiyang were just taken in his hand, and many people couldn't help but try them on.

Unfortunately, there is no big mirror. If you run to the river to see your reflection, you are afraid of making a joke. You close the door and put it on at home, take it off, and try it many times. Some people even realize that prickly heat is prickly. Men are a little better, but lesbians are born to love beauty and wear thick cotton military uniforms, and they cannot show their beautiful side.

The women at home are happy, and the men in charge seem to be very proud.

"The Chinese people pay attention to etiquette and exchanges, but I don't have anything valuable to give you." Zhang Wentian, then General Secretary of the Party, said intrigue.

No one likes to wear rags, which looks down and out, but they all like beautiful things. Even if they are darkened by Chiang Kai-shek into a group of bitter parties, they are not born to like poverty. However, these older generation revolutionaries, even though they know the hardships of the years of struggle, still give up their comfortable living environment and devote themselves to the revolution.

For example, Liu Bocheng, known as the "God of Military" in the Sichuan Army, was already a commander of the Sichuan Army when he joined the revolution. He Long was also commanding as the acting commander. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup, he gave up the high position of acting commander of the **. He joined the **** after Zhou Yiqun and Tan Pingshan introduced him to join the ***. In the same year, he served as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and launched the Nanchang Uprising that shocked the whole country.

Zeng Yiyang admired their great personality, which was the revolutionary pioneers who were the elders to him, supplemented by high respect.

Often, this kind of respect is focused on daily concern.

Just like when the Red Army had just completed the Long March and arrived in northern Shaanxi, Zeng Yiyang took out a large amount of money from the funds of the Forty Army headquarters, bringing a large amount of supplies to these old revolutionaries. Especially the rich meat, allowing them to maintain their bodies in the shortest time and devote themselves to the revolutionary struggle.

In the history that Zeng Yiyang knew, Zhou Jianping, deputy brigade commander of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division, was in a long time due to the lack of supplies in the war years and the Red Army suffered from long-term shortage of supplies. After being injured, he recovered, but died of illness in Pingshan, Hebei in the second year after the war began.

Zeng Yiyang only wanted to give these people he respected the necessary care, that's all.

"Dear leaders, I just received a bonus of 10,000 pounds abroad. I didn't think I could buy some foreign goods. In fact, this is my intention." Zeng Yiyang's sincere words were also warm in the listener's heart. Perhaps this is the so-called revolutionary friendship!

I found that although many people had smiles on their faces, there was still a hint of sorrow in their eyebrows.

The Soviet Union's act of sending troops without authorization despite opposition from the League of Nations has made the Party's position extremely embarrassing. Some neutral factions who have a good impression of the Party have also misunderstood the Party's policies. Since then, Vice Chairman Zhou has been dealing with Nanjing, Shanghai, and Wuhan at the beginning of the year, the three most important cities in the country.

Nanjing is the capital, and many important members of the Kuomintang party and government are here, but their hostility towards ** has been around for a long time. Vice Chairman Zhou's defense in Nanjing was difficult and he was in a dilemma.

Shanghai is the largest city in the Far East and the lifeblood of a country's economy. Many foreign companies and a large number of goods are disembarked in this city, communicating the entire Yangtze River Basin and the link between foreign goods circulation. A large number of bankers, financiers, and industrialists have emerged here.

Many of them are also peace-loving people and have a good impression of the party. Many capitalists have also used their actions to support the weak party, but after the Soviet Union brazenly sent troops to Xinjiang, many people's positions changed overnight.

Not only did they accuse the Soviet Union of aggression, but they also had great misunderstandings about the party. So much so that many members of the party organizations were suddenly exposed to Dai Li's work club and became the "residents" of Nanjing Model Prison.

The importance of Wuhan is that it is the old nest of Wang Jingwei's Party. People here are the easiest to be shaken and have conflicts with Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing government. However, they have no good feelings with the Red Army and the **. In response, Vice Chairman Zhou, who had no results in explanation, returned to the northwest with a tired look.

At the age of thirties, many wrinkles appeared on his face and his hair on his temples turned a lot white during this period. His guard said that Vice Chairman Zhou only slept for four hours every day, and how could his body eat it all year round.

Zeng Yiyang saw it and was anxious in his heart.

If the problem in Xinjiang is not solved well, the Party may really become a nation's sinner. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing government will not need to come forward, and the whole country's rebellion will be heard.

As before, Zeng Yiyang first arrived at the chairman's house as soon as he arrived at the central government. This family dinner had become a rule-like existence, and Zeng Yiyang also accepted it calmly.

"Drink?" The chairman smiled and took out a bottle from the kitchen, not knowing what wine it was.

"If you don't drink, I am not good at drinking, and I'm easy to get drunk..." Zeng Yiyang politely rejected the Chairman's kindness. In fact, the Chairman does not drink, but this bottle is used when cooking, and it is not a good wine.

The dish is still the same, a bowl of braised pork, a bowl of oil-splashed chili. The steaming meat has an attractive fragrance in the air. The chairman kept introducing Zeng Yiyang to Zeng Yiyang that this was his private dish. Looking for all the houses in the central government, no family's braised pork has any better than here.

It was hot, so I hurriedly ate half a bowl of millet rice.

"You can't get used to it! When I first came to the northwest, I felt that the rice was yellow. Although it looked very attractive and fragrant, it didn't taste that way. It was very hard, so it made my stomach uncomfortable and always felt uncomfortable at night. But after getting used to it, I found that this person was getting more and more energetic day by day." ** sighed and picked up some dishes for Zeng Yiyang.

Because **’s job is special, the family will avoid the fact that they usually treat guests to dinner. The central leaders come and sometimes they will talk about some secrets within the party. Although Sister He and the Chairman are husband and wife, they cannot know some secrets in the party position, and when they get married to the Chairman, they also understand how difficult it is to be the woman behind this outstanding man.

"It's hot, so I eat less. Chairman, I've already sent rice to Hetao Farm this year. After autumn, I'll send some to the central government." Zeng Yiyang took out a cigarette and lit one. Since joining the army, he has become addicted to smoking, but it's not serious.

"Okay..." The Chairman agreed happily. The revolutionary spirit of making fun of suffering is only to be refreshed, but not convinced. ** praises the smell of millet rice, but is still a southerner, and it is not too habitual. However, compared with the pumpkin soup in Jiangxi, these millet rice are naturally in heaven and underground, as if they are in heaven.

"Wait for a while, Mr. Zhu, Luo Pu, Enlai is coming here, and I'm going to find you to find out what's going on." ** picked up a full of red peppers and sent them into his mouth. With this spicy energy, he brought the remaining half bowl of rice to his stomach.

Zeng Yiyang's eyes were filled with stars and his throat was itchy.

People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cannot eat much spicy food. Zeng Yiyang thought he could go to the Hunan restaurant and eat and drink it all, but thought that the small peppers were just like this. However, although these dishes are Hunan cuisine, they are mainly spicy, but they are actually improved dishes. They cannot be compared with the real Hunan cuisine and Gan cuisine. They look bright and colorful, but in fact, many of them are spices of similar colors. They are not pure chili powder at all, and the usual seasonings mixed with pigments.

For the first time, Zeng Yiyang went to **'s house for dinner and made a fool of himself. He didn't know how powerful the little pepper was. After one chopstick, four or five small red-sharp peppers were sent into his mouth and chewed them. When he found that the situation was not good, it was too late. Even the saliva and tears were rumbling. He drank a stomach of cold water and took a long time to recover.

Since then, the Chairman's first dish has never had a chance with Zeng Yiyang.

"Xiao Guo, come and help clean up, prepare a few large tea jars, and bring a basin of herbal tea." The chairman shouted to Guo Jiaren outside the door.

After only a few cigarettes, Mr. Zhu and others came together.

"Because the Soviet Union sent troops to Xinjiang, our party was quite dissatisfied with the Soviet Union's blatant sending troops to invade other countries. Comrades in Moscow were monitored by the Communist International. At this point, international news could not be conveyed at all during this period. Yi Yang had just returned from Europe and was familiar with the situation in Europe and the United States. Let Comrade Zeng Yiyang talk about the current international situation first." ** In the narrow cave, people were sitting on the kang, benches, and small stools. After a while, the small space was crowded.

Zhang Wentian and others were also quite puzzled by the Soviet Union's behavior. In the Far East, the Soviet Union's interests should be in the Northeast, but the sudden dispatch of troops to Xinjiang may be a signal, forcing ** to make a painful choice at such a difficult time.

It is already urgent to be a common stream or a separate channel.

If the Communist International has lost the assistance, as long as Yan Xishan and Liu Zhi stationed heavy troops in Shanxi and Henan respectively, they will finally create a military-political alliance in the northwest. They will lose a good situation and will repeat the death of being surrounded by Chiang Kai-shek's superior forces.

Others don’t know, Zeng Yiyang knows very well that one year the Japanese will launch a full-scale invasion of China. At this moment, the domestic civil war will start again, and you can know what kind of result will be.

It’s really painful for the loved ones, and it’s so happy for the enemy!

The Soviet Union's behavior was composed of the prosperous talented people and the greed that was eyeing our territory.

This easily reminds people that the Soviet Union was deliberately trying to occupy the northwest of China. This behavior of invasion of other governments was tied to the world's first socialist country, making all the people with firm ideals confused.

What is the difference between this behavior and the great powers?

The actions of the Soviet Union have deeply hurt the hearts of the proletariat around the world.

"Yiyang, don't worry, say whatever you want. The current domestic and international situation is very unfavorable to our party. The topics of this meeting are also to recognize the current situation and lay the foundation for the next step of the development of the party." Vice Chairman Zhou encouraged.

He thought Zeng Yiyang was too worried, especially if he was damaging the Communist International, so he dared not say that because after all, ** was also under the leadership of the Communist International, although it was only nominal. But now it was the time that the Communist International's hypocritical mask was stripped away completely after the Soviet army entered Xinjiang.

Everyone sees the ugly side of it, whether it is a jackal or a tiger, there is no difference.

They are all beasts...

In fact, Zeng Yiyang had too many things in his mind, and he didn't know what to say.

From Germany's military expansion operations and the expansion of military-industrial enterprises; from the Soviet Union's militarization management; from the crazy clamor of a country in Japan, he knew that the result of dealing with the Sino-Soviet border conflict might not be satisfactory, but the Soviet Union did not dare to ignore it completely and do things that both man and gods were angry.

Besides, among the 40,000 troops sent by the Soviet Union this time, under the resistance of the Ma family armies, which had only 60,000 backward equipment, not only did they fail to achieve success, but also suffered heavy losses.

This made Zeng Yiyang see the consequences of the Soviet Union's internal purge. In the army, there were only a few commanders at the first level. Those who stayed were Stalin's confidants, either holding pistols, hiding behind the commander and division commander, and specializing in shooting black guns.

Zeng Yiyang sorted out his ideas and said, "Then let me start with the situation in Germany!"

** and others also took out their notes and began to prepare for the record, because these words would not be targeted in general when they said them from Zeng Yiyang.

Zeng Yiyang's success has proved that he is an excellent military strategist and an excellent politician. A strategist who can see the essence from the details. Under these halos, people have to pay attention to him.

"Although Germany's economy is recovering, it is in a deformed recovery situation. After Hitler proposed the slogan of not having butter, Germany's industry, especially heavy industry, and especially military industry, recovered rapidly and tended to expand. Under this situation, even Britain and France saw clearly that Germany had already revealed the fangs of war."

"The British people naively think that Germany's butcher knife will slash at the enemy of all capitalist countries - the Soviet Union, and blindly accommodate the other side. The French are even more confident that the Maginot line of defense is a nightmare for all modern armies, and Germany dare not disrespect France at all."

It can be said that the beginning of World War II was the result of Britain and France's accommodation to Germany. Although Zeng Yiyang wanted to say that in just one year, Japan would invade China in full, and in another three years, Germany would kick off the European battlefield of World War II. But he couldn't say it out. Because, in the summer of 1936, even the Japanese Emperor did not know when the Japanese army would start a full-scale war against China.

"German's actions did not cheat, and there was no excessive crossover in the areas clearly stipulated in the contract. Is this a bit exaggerating its important role in Europe?" Vice Chairman Zhou interrupted Zeng Yiyang's narrative and asked.

After World War I, Germany split, and the current Weimar Republic was nothing more than the remaining Germany after being divided by the great powers.

Therefore, there are many people who believe that Germany has gone from a first-class power to a second-class country, and Vice Chairman Zhou raised such a question.

"The Treaty of Versailles clearly stipulates that Germany cannot own tanks, aircraft, submarines and cannons, and even the regulations on machine guns are very strict, and Germany does not allow heavy machine guns. But in fact, Germany has not only formed tank soldiers, but the production of cannons has also returned to the level before World War I. With Germany's military industrial foundation and talent reserves, it can expand its current production capacity several times in just three or four years."

Zeng Yiyang paused and continued: "From the excellent traditions of the German army and the importance of officers, once a world war occurs, Germany can gather more than three million troops after joining the war for half a year. This is my conservative estimate, because the German stormtroopers two years ago carried out the same training mechanism as our Hetao Agricultural Reclamation Division, and the highest number of people in this force is three million."

"Three million, Army?" Zhang Wentian, who was only focused on studying theory, suddenly became startled, and then smiled embarrassedly, stood up, and said to the people around him: "I don't understand military affairs, but the number of three million still scared me."

After saying that, he pushed the black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and explained to everyone apologetically. He then made a gesture of invitation and said, "Yiyang, you continue..."

"Precisely because of the harsh conditions in the Treaty of Versailles, the German people have long been dissatisfied with it. This anger has penetrated into the hearts of every German like a nightmare under the economic crisis that swept across the world. They long for the prosperity of the country and restore the glory of the empire. Britain and France will not sit idly by and watch Germany's excessively inflated military strength, but they will naturally compromise when facing the internal expansion requirements of Germany. Because they hope that Germany can turn their hatred eyes on the Soviet Union, not the Western European powers."

"I seem to understand what you mean." ** thought about it, and the thoughts in my heart suddenly became clear. Since the Soviet Union had a threat from the west, in the east, since the Russo-Japanese War, Japan and the Soviet Union were also in a state of semi-ceasefire and semi-hostile state.

In this case of four enemies, it was unwise for the Soviet Union to send troops to Xinjiang, and it was unknown whether it was against the League of Nations controlled by Britain and France.
