Chapter 233 Pressing step by step!
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!! The Northeast Army launched an attack on the 98th Army's position, causing dozens of people to be injured by the 98th Army. Lu Mingxuan expressed his extreme shock at this. He announced that the entire 98th Army had entered a first-level combat readiness state, and at the same time ordered the blockade of all roads leading to North China from Northeast China."
"He made the most severe protest to the Central Committee, demanding that the Central Committee must give an explanation to the 98th Army, otherwise the 98th Army will no longer accept the leadership of the Kuomintang."
"At the same time, he called on all the soldiers of the 98th Army to maintain restraint to avoid further expansion of the situation and finally let the Japanese take advantage. He also assured the people of the whole country that the 98th Army's determination to drive the Japanese out of China has never changed at all. If the Japanese want to reconcile, they must unconditionally meet the five requirements put forward by the 98th Army. Otherwise, even if the peace agreement is signed, the 98th Army will consider it a traitorous treaty, and the 98th Army has the right to continue to take all military actions against Japan, including bombing the Japanese mainland."
After learning this news, it once again caused a national shock.
The Kuomintang had a military conflict with the 98th Army, which was simply amazing news.
People are extremely worried about this.
All sectors of society also expressed their hope that the 98th Army and the Kuomintang should maintain restraint before driving the Japanese out of China, so as not to suffer from their loved ones’ pain and their enemies’ happiness.
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"My mother!My mother!!My mother!!! That Lu Mingxuan is simply a complete bastard. Not only did he instigate his subordinates to shoot at friendly forces privately and promote his subordinates without authorization, but he also complained to the evil people first. It's really angering me."
Chiang Kai-shek slapped the table in front of him, and cursed loudly.
He found that Lu Mingxuan's move to hold his shit pot was becoming more and more skillful, which made him feel intolerable.
"I'm informing the literati of our subordinates. No matter what they use, I want everyone to know how shameless, despicable, and vulgar Lu Mingxuan is. I want people to know. He is a complete scum, a bedbug, a bastard who should go to hell..."
Chiang Kai-shek kept cursing while slapping the table.
It was the first time he met such a despicable and shameless person. It was obvious that they fired the Northeast Army first, but the evil one complained first, and instead criticized the Central Committee for not being wrong.
A staff officer next to him kept recording Chiang Kai-shek's orders. This was the first time he discovered that Chiang Kai-shek's anger was already at the point of being speechless.
Even when the Japanese launched a war of aggression against China, I'm afraid he had never been so angry.
"Ci Xiu, what should I do? Do you want to send troops to attack Lu Mingxuan?"
Chiang Kai-shek said to Chen Cheng.
"Chairman must not. We are not ready for military preparations yet, and negotiations with the Japanese are underway. If we turn against the 98th Army now, we may not be the opponent of the 98th Army."
Chen Cheng quickly objected.
"You are right, but I can't swallow this if I don't do anything."
Chiang Kai-shek said with anger.
"We can ask him to hand over the airports in Xuzhou, Shangqiu and Zhoukou. These three airports have no help in the war in the Northeast. It is time for him to hand over us."
Chen Cheng thought about it and said.
After hearing his words, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes lit up, and then he said in agreement: "You are right. These three airports pose too much threat to us. No matter what, he must hand them over. If he dares not hand over these three airports, we will deduct him an order that disobeys the central government. I want the people of the whole country to know how hateful, hypocritical, and so…"
Seeing Chiang Kai-shek fall into hysteria again, Chen Cheng couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat quietly. It seemed that Lu Mingxuan had offended Chairman to the core this time.
After Chiang Kai-shek vented for a while, he felt much more happy. Then he continued: "In addition, the Japanese have been asking us to prohibit the 98th Army from using our railway line to provide supplies to their Northeast combat troops. Do you think we should agree to them?"
Chiang Kai-shek said.
Now the Japanese in the Northeast are still struggling with the final dying struggle in Fengtian and Lushun Fortress. Moreover, the more than 200,000 troops of the 98th Army need to consume a large amount of military supplies every day in the Northeast. If they can cut off their railway supply lines, this will undoubtedly greatly slow down their offensive efforts. To some extent, it is in line with the interests of the Japanese and the Kuomintang.
Chen Cheng was shocked after hearing his words, and then quickly stopped him and said, "Chairman must not. Although we are negotiating with the Japanese now, the peace treaty has not been signed yet, and the Japanese are still our enemies. Moreover, the people in China are very hostile to the Japanese. If we prohibit the 98th Army from using railways to transport military supplies to the front line, I am afraid that the people in China will be very dissatisfied with us."
"What if we come in secret?"
Chiang Kai-shek said.
"Come on the dark?"
"That's right. We can make any excuses, for example, a certain section of the railway was destroyed by the Japanese and must be suspended for maintenance, so that they have no excuses to cause trouble."
Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and said.
"Chairman, I think this method is too risky. What if the 98th Army is forced into an urgent need and they really rebel?"
Chen Cheng thought about it and still disagreed.
Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a while and finally said, "Let's try it. I believe he won't turn against us because of this."
Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek had made up his mind, Chen Cheng sighed helplessly.
I hope that the 98th Army will not cause any big trouble after discovering this.
*******
*******
In the Jiyuan 98th Army headquarters, Zhang Yushu and Lu Mingxuan were having a secret conversation.
"Martial Commander, why don't we directly rebel? What's the use of just sending a statement of condemnation?"
Zhang Yushu said to Lu Mingxuan in a little puzzled manner.
"Reverse? How easy is it?"
Lu Mingxuan said with a smile, shook his head and said.
"The Japanese still occupy a large tract of our territory, and the people are counting on us to drive the Japanese out sooner. If we fight with the Kuomintang now, I'm afraid the people will take to the streets to march against us."
Lu Mingxuan said to him.
When he thought of the people of the whole country taking to the streets to shout the slogans of defeating Lu Mingxuan and opposing the civil war, he felt extremely distressed.
As Lu Mingxuan, who is determined to be a hero of a generation, he definitely does not want to see such a thing happen.
"But even if they march, what can they change?"
Zhang Yushu still said in confusion.
In his opinion, even if the people of the whole country oppose it, the Kuomintang and the Japanese may not necessarily be their opponents.
"The people's hearts! The people's hearts are a very wonderful thing."
Lu Mingxuan said deeply.
Why was the Communist Party able to achieve this country? Isn’t it just to fight against the local tyrants and divide the land? It won the support of the people of the whole country and finally won the victory?
"Especially in this chaotic world, the hearts of the people are a very important thing. Why can our army grow rapidly? Isn't it because our army complies with the public's opinion and strive to fight the Japanese? Although our army is now strong, we still cannot do things that go against the public's opinion."
"And fighting a civil war is five points, politics and five points of military. To put it bluntly, we have to do both "biaozi" and set up a archway. Although we have already planned to do "biaozi", we still have to set up a archway. Look at the Japanese who launched a war of aggression against China, and they still know how to find a reason for themselves? What's more, we want to fight a civil war, and we need a reason to make a reasonable one."
"If a nationwide civil war was launched just because of such a small thing, do you think others are fools. What would the people across the country think of us? So you have to take this matter slowly."
After listening to Lu Mingxuan's words, Zhang Yushu nodded in a vague way.
"What should we do in the future?"
Zhang Yushu asked.
"Start up the war in the Northeast. Work hard to train troops, and after the war in the Northeast ends, we propose to the Chairman to go south to participate in the war against Japan."
Lu Mingxuan thought for a while and said.
Now does Chiang Kai-shek dare to agree to let the 98th Army go south?
Of course he didn't dare!
As the saying goes, it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God. Now Chiang Kai-shek has truly understood the meaning of this sentence.
The five military bases of the 98th Army have already made him feel like he is stuck in his throat. What if the 98th Army has been reluctant to leave after heading south?
By then, his country will soon be over.
Lu Mingxuan did this without a doubt that it was Jiang’s army!
"I hope he doesn't make any reason to make me angry."
Lu Mingxuan said with a smile.
In the future, he will press forward against the Kuomintang step by step. Once the Kuomintang makes any mistakes and dares to make provocative things, he will double down on the fight.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and then Jiang Mengyun knocked on the door and walked in.
"Report to the military captain, Director Yan Xishan, General Li Zongren, and General Sun Zhen sent us telegrams asking us whether we would really fight a civil war. In addition, the chairman also sent us a telegram asking us to return it to Xuzhou, Shangqiu and Zhoukou Airports."
After hearing her words, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but fall into a moment of thought.
"Call back to Director Yan, General Li Zongren, General Sun Zhen, I, Lu Mingxuan, will not do anything to be sorry to the country and the nation."
He thought about it and said.
After saying this, he sighed.
Although he felt that he had become bad enough, he was still a little shameless enough!
If it is some old official fry, I'm afraid I will directly deny it.
Because this will be more beneficial to yourself.
After all, he is still not very handsome and has no lie when facing those old friends.
"I understand, so how should the Chairman respond?"
"Tell the Chairman that after fighting the Northeast, we will go south to beat the Japanese. Those three airports are just enough, so we won't return them to the old man."
Lu Mingxuan sneered.
After they all left, Lu Mingxuan looked at Nanfang with curiosity.
My dear Chairman, what would you do when faced with this situation?
Chapter completed!
