Chapter 1889: Longhua Incident! (Thirty-three)
A plane flying to Beiping Nanyuan Airport.
"Minister, what does Nanjing mean? Isn't it obvious that the East Anti-Japanese Representatives come in at this time? "
"Benefits, do you think that's the benefit?" He Jingzhi sneered, "That's to fight against the thunder. We are secretly negotiating with the Japanese. How much pressure is there? How many public opinion outside supports zf now?"
"You mean, transfer and share the pressure on us?"
"It's almost the same, but those people in Nanjing have thought it's simple. Is it really easy to fool this Lu Houde?"
“So you left early?”
"Half, half not. The case of British people killed in Xuanhua City is getting more and more serious. It is not ruled out that Lu Houde is secretly adding fuel to the fire and abolishing the power of consular judging is not easy. GMZF had already proposed to various countries two years ago to sign a new treaty to replace a new treaty, but they did not agree, hey!"
"Then this time..."
"It's hard to say, Dong Kang is not afraid of foreigners. The Japanese have suffered losses in their hands, so this time they really want to take advantage of the problem, and maybe they can really help gmzf to gain some benefits!"
"Minister, what you said!"
After the plane landed at Nanyuan Airport, He Jingzhi's convoy had just returned to Jurentang, Zhongnanhai, and the acting mayor of Peking City, Zhang Quan arrived!
Zhang Quan is the right-hand man and think tank of Chiang Kai-shek in politics, just like He Jingzhi in the army.
Zhang Quan was good at accepting orders in the face of danger and dealing with complicated matters, and was always able to uphold the will of Chiang Kai-shek, so he saved Chiang Kai-shek's trust.
Zhang Quan and Yang Yongtai were both sponsors of the Department of Political Science and Technology, and they gave advice to Chiang and became the main force.
"Brother Yue Jun, why are you here?" He Jingzhi, who had just walked out of the car and was still a little tired, was a little surprised to see Zhang Quan and his men waiting in front of his office!
"Brother Jingzhi has been exhausted all the way. Logically speaking, I shouldn't have come at this time, but I have to come some things!" Zhang Quan came up and said.
"Oh, Brother Yue Jun, please!"
"please!"
The two quickly entered the flower hall, and He Jingzhi ordered: "Make tea!"
"So, I'm not in Peking these days, is it okay?"
"It's quite calm. But I'm afraid this peaceful day is about to end!" Zhang Quan said with a wry smile.
“How to say it?”
"Brother Jingzhi, take a look. This is the newspaper published this morning!" Zhang Quan ordered a man to take a newspaper from his briefcase and handed it over.
"What happened?"
"..." He Jingzhi took the newspaper suspiciously and browsed it carefully.
"There was originally a cold case. After a few days, the outside world will pay less attention. We are quietly turning big things into small things, but now, you see, these reporters are full all day long!" Zhang Quan said angrily, "Don't they understand the difficulties of zf?"
"Do you suspect someone manipulates this behind the scenes?" He Jingzhi understood.
Zhang Quan's secret mission was to contact the Japanese and achieve some conditions that both sides could accept, and at this time angered the Japanese. Looking at him, his efforts were in vain, and this was not only involved in the Japanese, but also the British.
The British were originally the mediators of this armistice and negotiation, so they offended the British.
Zhang Quan was anxious. If this matter was a big deal, it would definitely affect the peace talks between China and Japan.
"Brother Jingzhi, I won't say something directly. You know in your heart that if some people are not controlled, they will cause a big disaster. For personal ambitions and interests, and ignore the interests of the country and nation, they will become sinners in history!" Zhang Quan said heavily.
"It's not that serious, right?" He Jingzhi knew who Zhang Quan was talking about, but although he and Zhang Quan were both Lao Jiang, they were not wearing pairs of pants. Even if there was no conflict between them, they still meant some competition.
"This is not serious. After winning several battles, I don't know myself anymore. Do you really think I'm invincible?"
"Brother Yue Jun, don't worry, what is said above is true. We can't be inseparable from right and wrong, right?" He Jingzhi said, "Why are we following Mr. Zhongshan to join the revolution? Isn't it just for this?"
"I know, but this matter must be prioritized!"
"Then what is heavy and what is light?"
"At present, peace talks with Japan are the top priority. This is related to the stability of the political situation in North China, and the important strategic policy of the government's "to resolute the country first when fighting foreign countries!" Zhang Quan said, "As for abolishing the power of consular judging, it can be slowed down first and let go!"
"What did the Chairman say about this?"
"The Chairman is deploying a military operation to suppress bandits. It is better not to disturb him in this kind of thing!" Zhang Quan said.
"We'll deal with it ourselves?"
"Yes, I am not familiar with Dong Kang. Brother Jingzhi has been in contact with them many times, especially with Lu Houde's personal trainer, so I want to ask you to come forward and give him a telegram to explain, and ask him to put the overall situation first!" Zhang Quan said.
"It's not difficult to send such a telegram, but he may not listen to me!" He Jingzhi had seen Lu Shan's toughness, so he was not sure.
"Then please Brother Jingzhi!"
"Brother Yue Jun, you are polite. Everyone is doing DG's career." He Jingzhi nodded.
"Brother Jingzhi, there is another thing. I have had some contact with the Japanese Consulate in Peking these days. They have put forward some conditions. I think it is acceptable. Brother Yingbai has also had a good talk with the Japanese in Shanghai, so I wondered if I should find some time to discuss it formally between China and Japan?" Zhang Quan said solemnly.
"Let's talk now?" He Jingzhi was slightly surprised. The progress was still a little fast.
"Yes, within this week, the candidates for the negotiations are being formulated, and the Japanese side will also send senior executives to participate!" Zhang Quandao.
"Are you a little anxious?" He Jingzhi thought for a while.
"This is just a preliminary contact. It is hard to say whether it is a negotiation or not. It is not good for us to drag on for a long time, and it is also bad for the Japanese!"
In the failure of the fourth encirclement and suppression, Chiang Kai-shek urgently needed to mobilize more troops to encircle and block the Red Army, but the troops were not generated out of thin air, and his financial resources were not enough to support him to continue to expand his army. He could only start with the local army. On the one hand, he used the name of "suppressing bandits", and on the other hand, he also hoped that these disobedient local army would fight to the death with the Red Army. If all of them were consumed, he could complete the great cause of unification!
But the local army is not a fool, and he can see that Chiang Kai-shek's plot is open. So now he has proposed "anti-Japanese and national salvation", which makes Chiang Kai-shek feel very troubled.
Because his so-called righteousness is not enough, no matter how great it is, it is not as great as the survival of the nation!
Therefore, he urgently needs to reach a temporary peace agreement with Japan so that he can mobilize the troops from North China to go south to encircle and organize the Red Army. On the other hand, he can also gain a certain amount of time to prepare for war!
This war is naturally a national war between China and Japan.
No matter how future generations evaluate it, many people agree with Chiang Kai-shek's idea, especially those elites who believed that China would destroy its country when it started a war. They all felt that if the government could give it a few more years to develop and achieve unification, Japan might not dare to send troops to China easily, and even if it really fights, China would not have no resistance at all!
Moreover, in the military and political circles, there are many people who hold this idea, including Wang Zhaoming, the second-ranked figure in the government.
On the issue of Japan, he and Chiang Kai-shek still have the same views.
As for now, they don’t want a nationwide war with Japan now, and the national government is too weak.
Chiang Kai-shek is now preparing to launch the fifth encirclement and suppression, provided that there must be a relatively stable environment in North China before he can transfer the troops here to the south.
The Japanese have long seen this strategic attempt, so they proposed a ceasefire and talks, and Nanjing is definitely in line with their expectations!
Of course, the Japanese don’t want to fight anymore now, and their domestic economy will also collapse.
Everyone has the idea of stopping the battle, so naturally they hit it off. The difference is who can get more benefits at the negotiating table.
This is such a negotiation. No matter what agreement is reached, China is the loser, because it was originally an unfair negotiation, and the result of the negotiation was in the end. It was just that the loss was more or less.
"The Japanese should be more anxious than us now." He Jingzhi said, "We can be a little more stable now. Public opinion in China is shouting for anti-Japanese resistance. At this time, we will have peace talks with the Japanese. If the news leaks, we will be in trouble. The consequences will be much more serious than this!" He Jingzhi pointed to the newspaper just now and said.
"How should we reply in Japan?" Zhang Quan thought for a while. He Jingzhi's words were not unreasonable. During the negotiation process, the opponent could not control the rhythm, otherwise the loser would be himself.
"If the Japanese urge, they will say we are discussing and ask them to wait a little longer, and then we will talk about it after we have discussed it!" He Jingzhi thought for a moment.
"Where is Dong Kang?"
"They won't reply so quickly in a while. I will call him to explain to the Chairman!" He Jingzhidao.
Zhang Quan nodded. He Jingzhi was also the top leader of military and political affairs in North China, and he, the acting mayor of Peking, listened to him.
"I heard that Tianjin Mayor Zhou Longguang is not in good health and is preparing to recuperate in his hometown for a while. The above said he wanted to find a acting mayor. Is there anything wrong with this?"
"Brother Yue Jun, you know much more about the things on the ground than me!"
"I just came to Peking not long ago. The things on the ground are not as informed as Brother Jingzhi. I heard that there is a general around you?"
"His name is Li Tiancai. It turns out that he worked in the Political Department of the Northeast Army. He may not be disgusted with the phenomenon of nepotism in the Northeast Army, so he applied to be transferred to the Military Branch and was responsible for intelligence work in the Military Branch!"
"I heard that he saved Brother Jing's life?"
"Yes, Brother Yue Jun even knows this?" He Jingzhi smiled and a warning flashed in his eyes.
"Listen to the people below chatting, mentioned it!" Zhang Quan smiled, stood up and clasped his fists, "Goodbye, Brother Jingzhi."
