The negotiations between the Beijing envoy and Long Yun did not go well, and in the face of the Beijing government's proposal to completely integrate Long Yun's ministry, Long Yun chose to refuse. In his opinion, the Beijing government is not sincere. Although Yunnan is located on the border, the terrain is complex and there are many ethnic minorities in the territory, so it can not be easily pacified with soldiers. Moreover, now that the Wehrmacht and the Beiyang Army are at war, although the Wehrmacht has the upper hand, the Beiyang may not be completely defeated. Even if the Wehrmacht wins. It will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it is too difficult to sweep away all the forces in China at once, so Long Yun believes that Yunnan still has time for development. Naturally, he was dismissive of the proposal of the Beijing envoy.
Sending off the envoy of the Beijing government, Long Yun fell into deep thought. He knew that Cai Ye's re-entry into the southwest represented that the southwest forces were about to reshuffle. With Cai Yi's ability to lead troops in battle and the strength of Sichuan Province, Long Yun felt that he was difficult to contend with. The Beijing government can't count on it, so it can only contact its neighboring allies.
Needless to say, there are common needs between the two sides. The alliance is not a problem, but Lu Rongting in Guangxi may not be able to. Now the war between Guangxi and Guangxi has undergone an earth-shattering reversal. The more Li Zongren fought, the more courageous his troops became, and the more his troops fought, Lu Rongting's troops were defeated again and again, and in just half a month, he had already lost most of Guangxi. Now that the turtle is cowering in a corner of Guangxi, self-protection is a problem, let alone participating in an alliance against the Southwest Governor's Palace.
Thinking of this, Long Yun secretly had a headache. I paid more and more attention to Li Zongren in my heart. If the two Guangxi are stable, no matter who is in charge of them, in order to preserve their own power, they must unite with other forces. No matter who wins in the end, the remaining side of the Beijing government and Beiyang will not be able to confront a small force. At this time, it is best for all the small forces to form an alliance to have the qualifications to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. But everyone understands the truth, but it is not easy to achieve an alliance.
Of all the small forces, only the Governor of the Southwest has the ability to command the overall situation, and a person like Cai Yi, who is convincing in both character and ability, is also the most complementary to the commander. Now that the Viceroy of the Southwest was clearly not interested in forming an alliance, and was so strong that it was very likely to deal with him as a traitor. As soon as he thought of this, Long Yun secretly had a headache. He realized that he was unwilling to give up a good situation in his own hands.
In the end, Long Yun sent someone to contact the Southwest Business Alliance in Guizhou, and the two sides hit it off. Soon, the two sides reached an agreement, and both began to expand their forces. The smoke clouds of war immediately enveloped the southwest.
As for the forces in Guangxi, Long Yun also sent envoys to form an alliance. Of course, the focus is on Li Zongren and Lu Rongting. Li Zongren has strength, Lu Rongting has qualifications, and they are both good allies.
But the result was not what he expected. Lu Rongting was very interested in the alliance initiated by Long Yun, and even used this as an excuse to negotiate with Li Zongren through Long Yun, hoping that Li Zongren could stop the attack. It is good to take the opportunity to preserve the power of the Katsura lineage. It's a pity that Li Zongren didn't pay attention to Long Yun's envoy at all, but instead increased the offensive of the border defense, and for a while, the defense line of the Gui system was crumbling. Lu Rongting felt that his end was coming.
In the face of the situation of Liangguang, Long Yun had no way at all except to scold Li Zongren for not knowing the overall situation. You can't offend Li Zongren, who is in the middle of the day in Liangguang, for the sake of Lu Rongting, whose strength is about to run out. In this troubled world, to put it bluntly, strength comes first, and whoever has a big fist will be justified.
Cai Yi rectified the new army in the southwest and recruited troops in Sichuan, and for a time there were many servants. In just three or four days, 50,000 troops were recruited, and with the original 100,000 new troops, the military strength in the hands of the Southwest Governor's Office swelled to 150,000. At the same time, a secret unit of several hundred men from the north dispersed into the new army in the southwest, serving as adjutant at all levels, assisting the commander-in-chief in managing the troops and coordinating the soldiers' thoughts. These people, of course, are political cadres drawn from various ministries in Beijing. The reason why the banner is not officially raised now is also to give Cai Ye time to sort out the relations in the southwest, so as to reintegrate the southwest forces. …,
While the IDF needs a quick victory, it is not for everyone. For example, the Southwest Business Alliance, Feng Yong has a very bad impression of this organization. With Feng Yong's intelligence ability, although he could not completely find out the evidence that Brother Pao would assassinate Cai Ye, it was an indisputable fact that all the evidence found by the assassination pointed to Brother Pao. It is precisely because of this that Feng Yong has an extremely lack of good impression of the Pao Gehui, an underground force that has influenced the southwest for hundreds of years. If it weren't for their sideways intervention, relying on Cai Yi's influence in the southwest, the National Defense Force would have been able to take the four southwestern provinces without much effort, how could it be like now, procrastinating, and the southwest was still in turmoil after four or five months.
Early June.
Cai received a secret telegram from the Young Marshal's Office in Beijing, asking him to start a war as soon as possible, and the National Defense Forces would send a division from the garrison in Tibet to assist the Southwest New Army. At the same time, a large number of munitions and materials were transported from the north to the new army in the southwest. gave Cai Ye the courage to fight a decisive battle.
This series of actions can't be concealed after all. Whether it is Yunnan Longyun or Guizhou Southwest Business Alliance. After determining that the Wehrmacht was vigorously supporting Cai Yi, he was almost dumbfounded. Just kidding! The hegemon of the southwest turned to the Beijing government. Moreover, there was not a single disturbance of the change of power in the Governor of the Southwest. Is Tang Jiyao and Cai Yi too generous, or is Beijing's means too high? All this made Long Yun and the alliance leader of the Southwest Business Alliance a little puzzled.
This was especially true after receiving a change in the National Defense Forces on the border between Yunnan and Tibet. Long Yun finally knew that the Beijing government was serious. Even if he was confident in the topography of Yunnan, he was really not confident in resisting both Cai and the Wehrmacht. Long Yun summoned his subordinates to discuss urgently. For such a big matter, if the whole army cannot be unanimous, it will not be able to fight at all. He, Long Yun, can betray his superiors for ambition, and so can others.
"Overseer, what are we going to do? To fight or not to fight? Long Yun's confidant general said. Everyone looked at Long Yun.
"What else can we do but fight?" Long Yun raised his head and said helplessly. Cai Ye commanded the Southwest New Army, and Tang Jiyao still served as the governor of the Southwest, all of which showed that both of them had clearly invested in the Southwest. And if he Long Yun joined the Wehrmacht before he knew it, he might still be protected by the Wehrmacht and erase his grievances with Tang Jiyao. But now, the Wehrmacht may not still look up to him. This can be seen from the resolute evacuation of the envoys of the Beijing government.
The generals were silent.
"Don't panic, Yunnan has complex terrain, even if the two armies of the National Defense Force force each other, we may not lose. So, we don't have to be so nervous. Long Yun waved his hand and said. The big husband needs to be bold when things come to the end, and those who cower will never become a big thing.
"Report to the Overseers, there's a man out there claiming to be from the North and asking to see you." An attendant ran in and said.
"North? Didn't the emissary of the Beijing government go? Long Yun's brows couldn't help frowning. Let him in! Long Yun said. He was still very interested in this man from the north.
Soon, a young man with an indifferent expression walked into Long Yun's main hall. Ignoring the uniformed officers standing around, he bowed slightly to Long Yun on the main seat, and then said in a flat voice: "General Long." Let me introduce myself, I am from Beijing. He is an attendant officer in the Young Marshal's Mansion. This is a handwritten letter from the young marshal that he asked me to hand over to you. General Long, please! ”
"Young marshal? Young Marshal Feng! Long Yun stood up in shock.
Northeast Feng Shaomarshal is famous all over the country, and he was able to send someone to bring a handwritten letter, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.
Long Yun is Long Yun after all, and he will not be deceived by a letter that is not sure whether it is true or false, he glanced at the young man and said, "The envoy of the Beijing government has just left, aren't you all the way?" He stared at the young man's face to see his expression change.
"Hmmm! Not all the way. They are people sent by the government to be responsible for communicating with other forces. And I'm from the Young Marshal's Mansion. As for why, I think General Long will understand everything after reading the letter of the young marshal. As he spoke, the young man stepped forward and handed the letter to Long Yun. …,
Long Yun opened the letter, his face changed, and finally looked at the young man with a complicated expression and said, "Is this really a letter from Young Marshal Feng?" ”
"Yes! In today's China, who dares to pretend to be the envoy of the young marshal? The young man said proudly.
Looking at the arrogant young man, Long Yun had already believed seven points. Coupled with the content of the letter, Long Yun really had a hard time making a choice.
"General Long doesn't have to worry about the grudge between you and Governor Tang Jiyao. I can tell you unambiguously that although Governor Tang will continue to rule the Southwest, he will henceforth be subordinate to the government. In the Wehrmacht, the military and the government are separated, the soldiers do not do their jobs properly, and the officials do not interfere in military affairs. Moreover, the young marshal admired General Long's talent very much, so he specially asked me to bring a handwritten letter. General Long, to put it mildly, this is General Long's last chance. The young man said aloud. didn't care about the dissatisfied eyes of the surrounding generals.
Long Yun's expression changed. The young man was calm and relaxed, and he was not in the slightest hurry.
In the end, Long Yun took a deep breath and said, "Go back and tell the young marshal, the last general, Long Yun will listen to the young marshal's orders!" ”
"Overseer!" The generals were taken aback and spoke one after another.
"Needless to say, I've made up my mind about this. The young marshal gave us a face, and we couldn't help but carry it. What's more, I, Long Yun, don't care, and I always have to find a good future for my brothers. Long Yun waved his hand, interrupting the generals' words. In fact, Long Yun knew that the generals under his command were pessimistic about fighting against Cai Ye and the National Defense Army at the same time, and they would only obey his orders because of his Long Yun, which moved Long Yun at the same time, and began to think about his subordinates.
