Wuhan East Tour, Rest.

"..............., at this point, the Battle of Western Liaoning ended, our invincible National Revolutionary Army only defeated three divisions of the Japanese with two divisions, repelled four divisions of the Japanese invaders, recovered Chaoyang and successfully defended the fortress of Huludao, a total of 70,000 enemies were annihilated (including the GCD Army, the Northeast Army, and the Annihilation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance), and the commander of the Japanese Major General Brigade was killed. Our army turned into a full-scale counteroffensive in western Liaoning, and the Japanese retreated to Beipiao, Yixian, Jinzhou and other places. Listening to the exaggerated voice of the announcer on the radio, Chiang Kai-shek turned off the radio with satisfaction, and took out a carefully collected battle report (recording the casualties of the GCD army!). I admired it, and I laughed with a reactionary face! The victory in this battle of western Liaoning was really too great, not only did it eliminate 70,000 Japanese devils, but also 120,000 to 150,000 GCD and 50,000 or 60,000 casualties of the Northeast Army, and also "invited" both the GCD and the Northeast Army into Shanhaiguan.

In addition to the double military victory, the great victory in western Liaoning also produced a very unexpected reaction in domestic public opinion. The day after the victory in Chaoyang, Ta Kung Pao and the declaration both published editorials, pointing out that the most important historical mission of the Chinese nation now is to recover Liaoji and expel the Japanese invaders. The two central governments of the north and the south, no matter which side has the ability to defeat the Japanese invaders and regain the lost territory, will be able to win the support of the people of the whole country, and it will be the only legitimate government that of course will not allow it! And the victory of Chaoyang has shown the people of the whole country that only the Nationalist Government in Wuhan can accomplish this arduous mission. Both newspapers finally called on the Beijing government to put the interests of the country and the nation first.

Don't go down the wrong path......

In addition to the domestic anti-Japanese war situation, there is also good news in the world, that is, Su Yue and Japan signed a non-aggression pact in Moscow! As soon as this treaty was announced, the people in southern China who did not know the truth immediately listed Su Yue and Japan as the two major threats to the Chinese nation, and the GCD, which had a special relationship with Su Yue, fell to freezing point in the south almost overnight... Even a certain standard-bearer of the Left League surnamed Lu has published articles in newspapers for several days, pointing out Su Yue as the most dangerous enemy of the Chinese workers and peasants!

Song Meiling and Yang Yongtai pushed the door in and saw Chiang Kai-shek's smiling face, so they smiled: "Darling's victory in western Liaoxi is really happy." ”

"Oh, it's Mr. Changqing here, sit, sit down." Lao Jiang hurriedly put away the smiling face that was a little jiān and returned to a serious appearance: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Commission, Luo Fuwen from Huludao is coming with an urgent call, the Japanese may increase their troops to 10,000!" A trace of worry flashed on Yang Yongtai's face: "According to Luo Fuwen, this source is absolutely reliable, and the Japanese are afraid that they are going to work hard!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded quietly: "Does the Military Intelligence Bureau have a report on this?" "From the Military Intelligence Bureau, Chiang Kai-shek felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, this department has been under the control of Luo Yaoguo's brother Wu Ziliang since its establishment, so many years Lao Jiang doesn't know how many ways to put his hand in, but there is no result, there has been a business needle that can't be inserted into the water and can't be splashed.

"The MIA hasn't reported it yet." Yang Yongtai shook his head: "The intelligence of the Military Intelligence Agency in Japan is carried out through the North Korean army, basically at the lower level, and it can't enter their core, Luo Fuwen is a "special channel" on the telegram, and it is estimated that it is not the news of the Military Intelligence Agency, but it should not be wrong." ”

"It seems that after the Battle of Liaoxi, the Japanese did not give up their ambitions for the Northeast, and they intensified their aggression." Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment and then asked: "This battle seems to be a decisive battle!" As long as we win, the Northeast will return to our hands, and even the whole of China will be ours. ”

Yang Yongtai was stunned when he heard this, originally the plan of the Kuomintang high-level for the Northeast War of Resistance was a "protracted war" and wanted to turn the Northeast into a slowly bleeding wound for Japan and China, but now Chiang Kai-shek actually proposed to win or lose the war, and it seems that the strategic situation after the battle of Liaoxi will no longer allow the Kuomintang to continue to hide on the edge of the battlefield and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

"Commission, our land communication line to the northeast has been closed by GCD, and now we can only rely on sea transportation, and our navy is not Japan's." Yang Yongtai's voice was also a little anxious.

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, the Japanese Navy never entered the Bohai Bay in the Battle of Liaoxi, the Ming Navy's blockade of the Bohai Bay is effective, and in Liaoxi, we only used two divisions to achieve such a victory, it seems that our army is already above the Japanese Army." Yang Yongtai couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, the Chinese G and the Northeast Army had invested 400,000 troops in this battle of western Liaoning! Moreover, they paid a heavy price of nearly half of the casualties, and fought hard with the Japanese for three months, which seriously weakened the strength of the Japanese army, and created the conditions for the final easy victory of the Kuomintang army. However, at present, the Central G and the Northeast Army have collected their troops and returned to Guannei, and only the forces of the Kuomintang are left on the Northeast battlefield to fight alone.

Yang Yongtai didn't intend to disturb Chiang Kai-shek's interest at this time, and now it was Luo Yaoguo who was at the top of the thunder in the Northeast, so he talked sharply and mentioned the matter of Su Yue's treaty: "Commission, Su Yue and Japan signed a non-aggression pact, will there be a secret treaty against us behind this?" Will Su Yue take advantage of the fact that our main force is pinned down in the northeast and take advantage of the fire elsewhere to rob? "Probably not, at least Su Yue won't come out on his own, what kind of first five-year plan are they working on right now..., they have to import a large amount of machinery and equipment from Britain and the United States, if they go to war with us at this time, Britain and the United States will sanction Su Yue according to the Asian Peace Treaty." Song Meiling took over the topic and analyzed it carefully: "Britain and the United States are now experiencing an economic crisis, and they are very loose on the export of technology and high-end equipment.

However, we are now their biggest customer, and Su Yueren's foreign exchange reserves are not as large as ours... Once we start a war with Su Yue, Britain and the United States will definitely stand on our side and sanction Su Yue for the sake of the Chinese market. After the Manchurian Incident, Britain, the United States, France, and the Netherlands immediately announced sanctions against Japan, which in fact took a fancy to the two billion dollar reserves in the hands of the Nationalist Government, and in return, the Kuomintang reactionaries tore up the oil purchase contract with Su Yue under the pretext that Su Yue had violated the Asian peace treaty, and instead imported a large amount of oil reserves from Britain, the United States, and the Netherlands to a large petrochemical base in Maoming.

Chiang Kai-shek laughed when he heard this: "It seems that we are now looking forward to Stalin's invasion, if he sticks his claws into the door, Gu Su Yue's first five-year plan will be in vain, and we may be able to surpass Su Yue in a few years, and who can those GCDs count on at that time?" Yang Yongtai's face was solemn, and he shook his head: "Commission, Su Yue will not take action in person now, they can let Zhongg enter the gate of G Gu, first, they can expel Wang Zhongyi's forces, and second, they can open up the connection between Zhongg and Su Yue." Moreover, our main focus is on the Northeast, which is really timeless. "We are too soft on GCD, Luo Fuwen always doesn't want to tear his face with them, if it weren't for my GCD in Liaoxi this time, he wouldn't be driven away!" Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment, and then said: "Fortunately, Luo Yaoguo is also contained in the Northeast Battlefield at the moment, and Wang Zhongyi is also his brother." If something happens to the ancient men, we must not sit idly by! Yang Yongtai and Song Meiling looked at each other, and they all looked worried. After all, Wang Zhongyi is still holding the brand of Zhongg at the moment, and even if Zhongg decides to crusade against him, it is still the internal affairs of Zhongg, and the Kuomintang does not seem to have sufficient reasons for interfering in the internal affairs of Zhongg.

Moreover, the Nationalist Government and Mengu do not border, so the only way to intervene is to attack Zhili, and it is inevitable that there will be a civil war when the time comes.

Yang Yongtai thought about it and said euphemistically: "The fiscal deficit of the national government this year has reached 700 million yuan in legal currency, and seeing that the war in the northeast is going to expand, this money is spent like flowing water... President Luo of the Executive Yuan has been in a lot of anxiety in the past two days, and now the domestic economic situation seems to be unable to sustain the two wars at home and abroad, and it is better to take political measures against GCD. "Mr. Changqing is right." Chiang Kai-shek said noncommittally approving a word: "Mr. Changqing, go to Beijing again to negotiate with the Chinese G, ask them to send troops to participate in the Northeast War of Resistance, and mobilize public opinion to exert pressure on the Chinese and G." That's right...... And what kind of democratic parties also have to move around, don't they all participate in politics and discuss politics in Beijing? At the same time, we must expose Su Yue's conspiracy and ambition to collude with Japan in a vain attempt to destroy China, and ask them to play the role of democratic parties in participating in politics, and remind them to be vigilant against Su Yue. At this point, Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and said: "The request of the National Revolutionary Army to cross the border and participate in the Northeast War of Resistance must also be put forward and told to those democrats, asking them to persuade the Central G."

Oh, by the way, and the financial difficulties of the national government should also be explained to them. We must tell these democrats that our Kuomintang is completely capable of defeating Japanese imperialism! But only if GCD doesn't continue to create obstacles! "Darling, there's one more thing." Song Meiling interjected with a faint smile at this time: "Mao's president of the Republic of China is the successor of the former prime minister, and the term of office from the sixteenth year of the Republic of China to the twentieth year of the Republic of China will expire." After finishing, Song Meiling glanced at Chiang Kai-shek and explained: "Hasn't Zhongg always accused our party of exercising dictatorship in the south?" And the self-proclaimed democratic? Now that Mao's presidential term is about to expire, can those democratic parties and democrats come out and run for president with GCD? And can we push it behind the scenes? A smile appeared at the corner of Chiang Kai-shek's mouth: "Madam, although the president of Mao ZD is not coming in the right way, it will expire next year." Changqing, you can also bring it up when you go to Beijing to negotiate with GCD. …，

Yang Yongtai hurriedly reminded: "Commission, we can't mention it, as soon as we mention the Central G, we will in turn ask us to end the discipline and hold a nationwide election, now the Central G is the party leading the army, and we are a semi-national army, the two are elected together, and it must be our party that suffers, Su Yue's Social Revolutionary Party and the Mensheviks are a lesson from the past." Let the democratic parties and democrats in Beijing put forward this, and perhaps let the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Party Affairs Investigation Bureau push it forward. "Mr. Changqing is right, we can't make excuses for GCD, just let those democrats. And the comrades of the left wing of our party went to offer to see what the GCD would do to sanction these guys. Chiang Kai-shek also reacted that pushing for a presidential election was not the immediate goal of the Kuomintang, let alone Chiang Kai-shek's interests. In fact, the most beneficial thing for the KMT is that the KMT refuses to hold a democratic, open, and fair presidential election, so that neither party will have a dictatorship in the future...... Moreover, without the cloak of democracy, the attractiveness of the Kuomintang to intellectuals and the national bourgeoisie will also be greatly reduced, which is equivalent to a plus for the Kuomintang.

In fact, both Wuhan and Beijing now have their own legislatures. Wuhan has two courts, the Supervision Yuan and the Legislative Yuan, of which the Supervision Yuan is different from the historical, similar to the upper house of parliament in some Western countries, which is responsible for deliberating the laws enacted by the lower house, while the Legislative Yuan is responsible for formulating and amending laws relative to the lower house of some Western countries, and the government budget is also subject to deliberation by the two houses. However, the Legislative Yuan and the Supervisory Yuan in Wuhan are basically the dominance of the Kuomintang and are actually rubber stamps of the Kuomintang. Most of the parliamentarians were also some Kuomintang veterans and representatives of the southern monopoly wealth, and of course they were not elected by the people but elected by the provinces, and these guys did not have a door to speak, and they made a lot of noise in the parliament every day, as if they were dissatisfied with everything, and from time to time they even started to act for the interests they represented...... It looks reactionary!

The Central Committee in Beijing, led by the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), is composed mostly of celebrities, democratic parties, and people without party affiliation, including leftists who split from the Kuomintang. Moreover, this CPPCC theoretically represents all regions and strata of the country, so there are also a large number of people from all walks of life in the Kuomintang to participate in the administration and discussion of state affairs on behalf of the people of the oppressed Kuomintang regions. Unlike the two houses in the south, people from all walks of life in this CPPCC are really participating in the discussion of politics, and the meeting is in good order, there is absolutely no quarrel, let alone fighting, and the only thing to do is applause! Every time there is a meeting, there are bursts of thunderous applause, and it sounds like it must be democratic and free.

And some leftist newspapers and periodicals in the south often compare the photos of the enthusiastic applause of the Beijing Political Consultative Conference with the photos of the group fights in the two houses of the south, in order to expose the fake democracy and real dictatorship of the Kuomintang reactionaries! The five bigwigs of the Kuomintang were helpless in this regard, although they held great power, but they had no way to stop the noise in the parliament. Although those legislators are "elected", they are already aiming for the popular election after the end of the training period...... In the first year of the Butterfly Year, the discipline of the southern provinces will expire one after another. These "elected" parliamentarians are now not afraid of being dismissed from above for "fighting for the people", which will only win them huge prestige. Similarly, the five bigwigs are also thinking about the constitutional period after the end of the training period, and they are all trying to win over prestigious parliamentarians to join their faction, and naturally no one is willing to come forward to be this evil person.

Therefore, in the debate between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party on democracy and dictatorship, the Kuomintang has always been at a disadvantage. There is no recourse but repeated vows to return government to the people immediately after the end of the sixteen-year training period. And this time, Mao's presidential term will expire, which seems to have given the Kuomintang reactionaries a chance to fight back.

"But what if the CG agrees to hold a presidential election?" Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment, and then thought of another question. If China G goes along with the tide and agrees to hold a general election, they should have a good chance of winning with the control of the people in their jurisdiction. When the time comes, won't the Kuomintang, which has been carrying the 16-year training period and refusing to give in, be even more passive?

"As long as the door of democracy is opened, it is difficult to close it." Song Meiling smiled lightly: "As long as China is willing to hold a presidential election with the participation of the opposition in the jurisdiction of the Beijing government, it will be possible for us to achieve peaceful reunification between the north and the south under the conditions of democratic constitutional government." Even if the election is not fair, it is a good start, at least the CG has learned to tolerate the opposition.

Yang Yongtai looked at Chiang Kai-shek's face and knew that he did not approve of peaceful reunification under the conditions of democratic constitutional government, so he smiled deeply: "Commission, at present, the three northwestern provinces and Heilongjiang Gate and Guke are still under the jurisdiction of the Beijing government, if the Central Government agrees to hold a general election, won't Wang Zhongyi and Wang Zizheng put forward their candidates?" Moreover, their people can also use the name of election to enter the jurisdiction of Zhongg to criticize Zhongg's policies, can Zhongg tolerate such a thing? Even...... We can also support Chen Duxiu to run in this election......" Chiang Kai-shek slapped his hands and laughed: "Good idea! As long as these people propose to send representatives to participate in the general election, China G will definitely not agree! At that time, it will be up to us to accuse the dictatorship of China G. Yang Yongtai sighed lightly and said with a smile: "Commission, do you want to invite Luo Fuwen back to Wuhan to discuss the presidential election and the Northeast War of Resistance?" "No, I'll go to Huludao tomorrow and inspect the Northeast Theater by the way." ..., Chiang Kai-shek shook his head: "The Northeast Theater has just been established, and Luo Fuwen, the commander, is very busy. There is still a big war waiting for him next, if we can win it, our country can be truly revived, and China G will not have to worry about it
