Republic of China game

Zhou Enlai laughed heartily and said, "That's not a problem, business is business! Luo Yaoguo is a capitalist, so if there is business, will he do it?"

Borodin didn't know what business Zhou Enlai and Qu Qiubai were talking about?But he didn't want to get involved. Although the CCP is a branch of the Communist International, their independence is quite strong. After all, they also have guns, which is different from those little brothers in Europe.After listening to Zhou Enlai's analysis, he felt that it was not a big problem to fight the youth army, and as Mao Zedong said, this battle was inevitable. If you don't have a firm foothold in the north, hit it head-on!

"Comrade Zhou Enlai, if the Red Army wants to fight the youth army, it seems that the troops outside the city will be a little less, and it will take time to concentrate the troops." This is General Galen, the military adviser, who stood up and raised his own question. , He frowned and pointed to the military map: "Right now the Red Army's forces are still scattered in Suiyuan and northern Shaanxi, and it will take at least half a month to gather them together. By then, the youth army may have captured Ningxia, right? If the Kuomintang first If the army is stationed again, it will be difficult for us to do anything."

General Galen took out red and blue pencils from his pocket again, and drew on the military map on the table. After a while, he showed all the situations in Gansu on the map from his memory.Pointing to the blue line around Lanzhou, he sighed: "The youth army has been moving very smoothly since it entered Gansu. Due to the political turmoil in Gansu this year, first the governor of Gansu, Lu Hongtao, was paralyzed by a stroke, and then the commander of the first brigade, Li Changqing, mutinied and seized power. In the city of Lanzhou, he fought with Huang Degui, the commander of the second brigade, which caused a major event in the vitality of the already weak Gan army. Kong Fanjin, the governor of Longnan, saw the situation was not good and surrendered without a fight, opening the door from Sichuan to Gansu. Now youth More than 7 people from the army have marched to the city of Lanzhou, and I estimate that Li Changqing will surrender within a few days. Moreover, the Beijing government appointed Yang Sen as the governor of Gansu, Wang Zhizhi as the governor of Gansu, and granted the Central Committee of the Youth Army Army No.30 to 32 divisions, with this name, I'm afraid their next operations will be smoother."

The name of the central government is not easy to use in the Kuomintang territory in the south, but the situation is different in the northwest, especially in the eight towns of Longshang in Gansu. Their brains are probably still stuck in the feudal warlords of the late Qing Dynasty, and now they still control the city of Beijing. The orders issued are regarded as the supreme decree, and it is always a little guilty to fight against them.

"It's better to strike first, and then you will suffer!" Mao Zedong raised his fist and knocked heavily on the map, and said loudly: "We have concentrated 3 people in Yan'an, and there are still 1 troops from the Fourth Front Army in the direction of Hetao approaching Ningxia. Ten thousand people. In this way, there will be an army of 1. Ningma's current strength is only more than [-], and it is completely powerless to fight us. As long as we show enough determination and seize Ningxia with lightning speed, then we will be able to Use Ningxia as the battlefield, wait for work and start a war with the youth army!"

At this time, Zhang Guotao, who had been silent since the beginning of the meeting, stood up suddenly, and looked at Zhou Enlai with complicated eyes: "This will use half of the main force of the Red Army at once, and the troops will come from three front armies. Who will be appointed as the Secretary of the General Front Committee?" The Red Army is now claimed to be [-], but that includes the total number of local troops. The main Red Army with real combat effectiveness is only more than [-], and this time it will use [-] to send troops to Ningxia!Moreover, Ningxia is a treasure land with fertile land and dense population. Whoever controls the [-] Red Army and Ningxia will have a pivotal position in the central government in the future.

Zhou Enlai was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but ponder. Now that he can serve as the secretary of the General Front Committee, Mao Zedong and Zhang Guotao are probably the only ones in charge of the [-] Red Army. If he wants to lead the revolution, he will definitely not be able to leave.So who should go?Zhou Enlai looked at the two with flickering eyes.Looking at their eager eyes, Zhou Enlai couldn't make a decision for a while.

"How about this?" Zhou Enlai pondered for a while before slowly opening his mouth: "How about the comrade who went to Ningxia this time to serve as the secretary of the General Front Committee, and will become the chairman of the Northwest Military and Political Committee in the future, and be responsible for the work in the Northwest?" Zhou Enlai meant very much. It is clear that if you go to Ningxia, you will have no share in the next time you send troops to Shanxi.

"I'll go." Seeing Mao Zedong's hesitation, Zhang Guotao quickly seized the opportunity to introduce himself. He said with a serious expression: "My talent is far inferior to Comrade Mao Zedong, so in the future it will be Mao Zedong who will command the Red Army to conquer the Central Plains and determine Beijing. Comrade Dong is in charge. Let me find a way to maintain the situation in the northwest." These words are very pertinent and reasonable.Zhang Guotao's talent is indeed not as good as that of Mao Zedong, and it is indeed more important to go east to the Central Plains and Dingding Beijing than to go west to Ningxia to fight the youth army.

Mao Zedong hesitated for a while, and when he saw Zhou Enlai nodding lightly there, he stopped insisting, smiled and said: "Brother Kaiyin (Zhang Guotao) is too modest, and it is indeed a bit of a waste of brother Kaiyin's great talent to use in the Northwest." Yes. Brother Kaiyin will be indispensable in the future Eastern Expedition to the Central Plains."

Chapter 0219 War and Peace

The river flows slowly and slowly.After several rains in winter, the drought in Sichuan has finally eased, and the water level of the Jialing River and Yangtze River, which converge in Chongqing, has also begun to rise, gently turning and rushing down.

On the wharf of Chaotianmen, two young men in plain gowns were leading a large group of school officers in Kuomintang military uniforms for a walk along the river.Behind is surrounded by guards of the brigade.These two were Luo Yaoguo, director of the Chongqing camp, and Peng Pai, head of the Communist Party delegation.

Today's negotiations also ended early.However, in contrast to yesterday's deadlock, today has made great progress.The two sides reached an agreement on the most critical Ningxia issue, which is to let the armies of the Communist Party and the Youth Party compete on the battlefield, while the Kuomintang will remain neutral, and the first army of the national army will be stationed in Longnan.Uh, is this considered progress?Anyway, it is not the Kuomintang and the Communist Party going to war.As soon as the negotiations were over, Peng Pai, the representative of the Communist Party of China, proposed to take a trip to Nanshan on the south bank of Chongqing, so the "hospitable" Luo Yaoguo enthusiastically offered to accompany him on a trip to the mountains and rivers.Now they are waiting for the ferry to the South Bank.

The two stood side by side on the edge of the Yangtze River, with their hands behind their backs and their heads raised, looking at the rolling Yangtze River, neither of them spoke.After a long time, Peng Pai finally couldn't help breaking the silence. He moved closer to Luo Yaoguo and said in a low voice, "Fuwen, Comrade Enlai has two more requests. I hope you can cooperate." He looked at the group of people behind him. The Kuomintang officer standing far away said again: "Comrade Enlai hopes that you can promote the disarmament of the Kuomintang as soon as possible. You should have a plan in this regard? Can you advance it to the end of this year and the beginning of next year? And this letter was entrusted to me by Comrade Enlai. Yes, there is another request inside, I have not read the specific content, Comrade Enlai hopes to get a reply."

"Disarmament?" Luo Yaoguo was slightly taken aback. As soon as Peng Pai mentioned You Nanshan, he knew that there must be a deal that was inconvenient to propose at the negotiating table, but he didn't expect that it would require the Kuomintang to disarm.

The first phase of the Northern Expedition of the Kuomintang has ended. According to the plan, the next step is to develop for a few years, and wait until the heavy industry is completed before the Northern Expedition unifies China in one fell swoop.So there are plans for disarmament.To be honest, the current number of the National Revolutionary Army is indeed a bit too much. The field troops plus the local security forces add up to nearly 60!The monthly military salary alone costs nearly 500 million yuan, which is 25 million yuan a year.According to Luo Yaoguo's plan, in the next ten years, the national army should retain 50 to [-] field troops, plus [-] security corps, and [-] to [-] artillery regiments, with a total strength of less than [-].

However, at this time, the Communist Party suddenly asked the Kuomintang to disarm early, which may have their purpose.Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, paced along the river with his hands behind his back, pondering carefully in his heart.Now that the Kuomintang has many troops, not only the Communist Party is worried, but even the warlords in the north like Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu, and Lu Yongxiang are also worried, right?Under the pressure of the Kuomintang, they had to form an alliance, took Zhang Zuolin as the co-owner, and formed a new Beiyang warlord group.This probably hindered the revolution of the Communist Party in the north.If the Kuomintang cuts its troops on a large scale, the pressure on the northern warlords will be reduced, so their alliance will naturally collapse, and maybe a new warlord war will break out. No, it’s not that maybe, but a new war will definitely happen!Zhang Zuolin will definitely not let go of such a rare opportunity, because he can only truly fight against the Kuomintang in the same court only if he unifies the north.

"If you can agree to these two things, we can promise not to intervene in your party's internal struggle, and will not pursue the kidnapping of Comrades Yang and Zheng. Everything is a conspiracy of Japanese imperialism." Peng Pai Seeing that Luo Yaoguo remained silent, he quickly took another step back.Although this promise can't be kept for too long, with this sentence, the Kuomintang can confess, and Luo Yiqun's executive president is almost in his hands.

"Okay, I can promote the disarmament." Luo Yaoguo glanced at Peng Pai, saw him heaving a sigh of relief, and said to himself that it seems that the Communist Party will launch a new revolutionary upsurge in the Central Plains soon, so they are in the Northwest The investment will not be too large, otherwise the two fronts will not be able to afford it.

Peng Pai smiled slightly, and then stuffed the envelope in his hand to Luo Yaoguo.He did not read what was in it. Party discipline told him not to look at what he shouldn't look at, not to ask what he shouldn't ask, not to think about what he shouldn't think about, and not to say what he shouldn't say.

At this time, a whistle blew, and a small steamer with black smoke slowly approached the pier.This is the ferry that takes them to the other side.

Luo Yaoguo took the envelope and stuffed it into his pocket, then smiled at Peng Pai, stretched out his right hand to invite him to board the boat first.Then he led a group of entourage and guards to board the ferry and went to Nanshan together.

……

Northwest Lanzhou.

In the center of the ancient city, in front of the gate of the Gansu Governor's Office, a large banner is flying, and the school grounds are full of tigers.

The 30 officers and soldiers of the No. 24 Division of the Central Army, which belonged to the direct line of the Youth Party, were wearing big-brimmed hats and neat khaki military uniforms, standing silently.The infantry of the [-]th Brigade, [-]th Regiment, and [-]th Battalion formed a perfect phalanx.

It is a line when viewed horizontally, a line when viewed vertically, and a straight line when viewed obliquely.

On the two fourteen-foot-high flagpoles in front of the gate of the Superintendent’s Office, a five-color national flag symbolizing the country and a four-color party flag symbolizing the Youth Party are slowly rising along with the majestic national anthem.

The eyes of 2 people were fixed on these two special flags, which were the symbols of the country and the party for which they would sacrifice their lives and blood.

In front of the Zhongyuan Gate, a square platform was built of wood, and the platform was empty, with only two officers standing side by side.Both of them stared at the phalanx below the stage.They are Wang Zixing and Li Huang.

After the flag was hoisted, there was no order to disband, and the 2 people still stood still for an unknown amount of time.Like a group of sculptures, the Lanshan Mountain in the distance and the surging Yellow River around them seemed to have calmed down, focusing on such a powerful team that they had never seen before.

Is this still the Chinese army?Is this still the Sichuan Army, which has always been known as an underdog?

Wang Zixing has a sullen face, but his heart is surging.

This is his army.It's his heart.It is the iron-blooded army he built for this country, for this nation, and for the vast Northwest.With them, the Northwest will fall into their own hands sooner or later, and no one wants to take away an inch of the Northwest from their own hands!Of course it has its own powers!

Wang Zixing raised his head and looked at the northern sky, his brows gradually knit together.He seemed to see a force as strong as the Youth Army at the foot of Helan Mountain.The same is the country, the backbone force of the nation.They also have the spirit of dedication to defend ideals and doctrines.But now they have declared war on the youth army, on his self-examination!One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!This is the unavoidable fate of this country and nation for thousands of years.Now this northwest is so vast, but it can only have one master, and in the future, this even wider country can only have one sun!

This sun can only be yourself!A surge of pride from the heart surged up.He looked at his 14 tigers, and suddenly opened his throat: "On November 25, [-]th year of the Republic of China, our Central Army's [-]th Division with [-] tigers swore to the side of the Yellow River and under the Lanshan Mountain. This battle The Northern Expedition to Ningxia and the flattening of Helan Mountain are the first battles for our party and army to pacify the Northwest! It is the key battle for our Youth Party and Youth Army to resist power outside and eliminate national thieves inside! To revitalize China and strengthen China, all my comrades , we must work hard to move forward. Long live China! Long live Al-Shabaab!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!—" The [-] soldiers in the audience also shouted long live.

Although most of the soldiers didn't understand what Wang Zijian meant by "resisting power from outside and eradicating national thieves from inside".However, the gathering of 2 people in such a majestic formation and with such high morale can have a strong appeal in itself, making everyone involved feel excited, feel that they are making history, and are participating in an event. The most magnificent undertaking in the world.

The drums of war in the Northwest sounded——

Chapter 0220 Layout the future

Chongqing camp building.

After seeing off Peng Pai, the camp director Luo Yaoguo took a break, waiting for his order while watching the changing situation in the north.During this period of time, there were already signs of a flourishing age in the south, but in the north there were constant turmoil, and a large-scale war was already brewing.

"Fuwen, did you read the battle report sent by Wang Zixing? The war in Ningxia is not good, and Wang Zixing is complaining all the time. He keeps asking us to increase our support. Do you think we can help him again?"

It was Jiang Baili who said this. He is now concurrently serving as the commander-in-chief of a joint command with the Youth Army.Although he can't direct anything and can only arrange assistance to the youth army, he still does his best to give advice to the front every day.

Luo Yaoguo smiled and dropped the document in his hand, glanced at Jiang Baili who was full of anxiety, and said with a smile: "Help for what? He is not the National Revolutionary Army now, he is the Youth Army, the army of their Youth Party. We support him for the Northwest Sovereignty, he would have to spend endlessly with the Communist Party. If Ningxia can’t be defeated, then don’t fight, won’t the persimmons be picked first?”

Jiang Baili shook his head and sighed: "He is so proud! The past few years have been so smooth, and it is easy to have everything now. It seems that he has to suffer a little bit of hardship."

How to deal with the big battle between the Ningxia two families, to be honest, Luo Yaoguo also felt a headache.It turned out that his plan was to keep the Kuomintang army between them and prevent the Youth Party from contacting the Communist Party.Who would have thought that the two of them seemed to be old enemies, and they insisted on being separated.

"Baigong, I guess the transfer order will come down in a few days. I will go back to the center to take up a post, and the Chongqing camp will also be cancelled. I would like to recommend you to be the dean of education at the Army University. The principal is Yang Gengguang (Yang Jie), Your joint headquarters will be handed over to the Military Intelligence Bureau, and I will arrange for my foster brother Gao Shaojie to take over, what do you think?" Luo Yaoguo smiled, looked at Jiang Baili, and waited for his reply.

Jiang Baili's face changed, and he asked, "Is the Kuomintang planning to open an army university? When did this happen?" Jiang Baili felt a pain in his heart when he mentioned the military academy. When the principal of the military academy shot himself, the whole world was probably alone. One copy.However, when he thought of a military academy with good facilities and sufficient funds, which could continuously train military talents for the country, his heart couldn't help but boil with enthusiasm.

"The Lu University is built by the East Lake of Wuhan, together with the Army Officer Academy and the Aviation Academy. The facilities and funds will be very sufficient. Now the National Government is not short of money." Luo Yaoguo raised his head and smiled slightly.

Jiang Baili's thoughts were heard by Luo Yaoguo, and his ears couldn't help but feel warm, but he was still very happy to get this job.He straightened up, looked at Luo Yaoguo and nodded: "Fuwen, thank you for arranging a job I like for me, I can't wait now, I want to see this university that will train countless outstanding soldiers for the country What's it like?"

Looking at the back of Jiang Baili leaving excitedly, Luo Yaoguo's lips curled up slightly. It has been almost three and a half years since he came to this world. He has grasped power that he could not believe in his previous life. Gradually, his mentality has gradually changed. Change, perhaps corrupted by power?Especially when he heard that his uncle was about to sit on the throne of executive president and member of the presidium.He had never heard of Luo Yiqun in the history of his previous life, so he must not be a particularly outstanding person, but now this person has reached the pinnacle of power in the Kuomintang because of himself!That peak turned out to be so easy to reach.What about yourself?Is it time to start planning?

"Fuwen, are you looking for me?"

Some stiff Chinese sounded in Luo Yaoguo's ears, pulling him out of his dream of power.When Luo Yaoguo looked up, he saw that his brother-in-law An Sihua had entered his office, pulled up a chair and sat opposite him, looking at him with a pair of brown eyes.

The Fifth Army has also been withdrawn now, and the troops of the three divisions and a large number of directly subordinate troops are leaving Sichuan by boat in batches.This space-time national government's military committee has strict management over the troops, and the military-level organs will be abolished immediately after the war is over.Therefore, An Sihua's army commander was gone, and he was temporarily suspended in the Chongqing camp without arranging a new position. Luo Yaoguo came to him today for this matter.

"Sihua, Jiegong's Army Military Academy principal is going to give up." Luo Yaoguo looked at his brother-in-law and smiled faintly: "There is no one more suitable for this position than you. I am going to suggest that the Military Commission follow the example of the German Gross Lichfeld Senior You have been there for more than seven years, and no one in China knows this military academy better than you. Can you also run a Gross Lichfeld for us?"

Although Chiang Kai-shek likes to be the headmaster of a military academy, in this time and space, he still has to give it up, although there is still an army education director for him.Originally, this position should be filled by He Yingqin from Chiang Kai-shek's lineage, but Luo Yaoguo sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, replacing this position with his deputy chief of staff and giving it to his brother-in-law An Sihua, who himself will replace his uncle's Minister of Armaments .Seeing that he could control the most powerful staff department, Lao Jiang agreed without even thinking about it.Unlike the Whampoa Military Academy where Chiang Kai-shek's power originated in previous lives, in this time and space he started as the Chief of the General Staff, so he values ​​the General Staff far more than the Military Academy.

"Fu Wen, you mean to let me develop in the military academy..." An Sihua looked at his brother-in-law and didn't continue, but the meaning was very clear.
