May 11, 1930.

Moscow, USSR.

At this moment, the Kremlin Soviet Conference Hall is holding a congress, and it is not the content of the discussion, but the atmosphere in the meeting room is quite brisk, and it is estimated that it has nothing to do with the famine that is currently sweeping the Soviet motherland.

The great leader Stalin sat in the front seat in the middle of the large oval conference table with a smile in his mouth, and the blue smoke from his signature pipe kept coming out, and his eyes were full of joy and excitement.

On either side of the conference table, it was densely packed with people, among whom were Red Army generals in military uniforms, as well as leaders of the Supreme Soviet, the Council of People's Commissars, and the GC International in civilian clothes. All the people were smiling unconcealably, although they were not happy, but since Stalin looked like he was about to laugh, something good must have happened, and everyone just laughed.

Seeing that the facial expressions of the comrades were consistent with those of the Party Central Committee, Stalin nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, comrades, report to everyone a bad news, China ** has reached the most dangerous time. According to the report of Comrade Mifu, the general adviser of GC International in China G, the Chinese Kuomintang is preparing a full-scale military offensive against China G, the scale of which will be unprecedentedly large, and it is very likely that it will not be able to survive the difficulties by relying on the military strength that China G currently possesses. ”

Stalin's tone was brisk, and he almost laughed, but he spoke of the news that such a party was about to suffer a catastrophe. The CPSU members below were all confused when they heard this, but since Comrade Stalin had such a beaming expression, it is probably not a bad thing after all, right? There were not many words, so everyone also let out thunderous applause

After a while, the applause gradually died down, Stalin smiled at the participants and nodded Comrades, the situation in China is indeed very critical, the Chinese reactionaries have a strong military force, and they have defeated the powerful Japanese imperialism. However, the armed forces of China's GCD are relatively weak, and now the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of China and G has submitted a request for help to GC International through Comrade Mifu. Do comrades have any views on this, don't skip words.

Stalin's somewhat gloating expression made the "comrades" a little confused, and they couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and naturally no one dared to stand up and speak casually, and if he said something, it would be bad luck to annoy Stalin.

In the end, there was still some ignorance of what to do, and Bukharin, the head of the GC International, who began to contradict Stalin, slowly stood up Comrade Stalin, although the Chinese GCD was ...... on the Mongolian issue They didn't grasp their position and made some mistakes, but they were a member of GC International. Now that they are at a critical juncture of life and death, we can't die without help, can you agree to G's request to provide them with some guns and ammunition? ”

Stalin glared coldly at Bukharin, who could not, and his tone sank slightly, of course, we have to help the party against the enemy's attack, especially for China, an important neighbor that has a bearing on the peace of the backyard of the Soviet Fatherland. If China completely falls into the hands of Chinese imperialism, then the encirclement network of world capitalism against the Soviet Union will finally be formed, and then we, the Soviet Union, will face even more severe challenges. ”

Now the more the Su G members at the bottom listen, the more confused they become. As if it was not a good thing for the Kuomintang in China to eliminate the GCD, then what about Stalin announcing the news to everyone with a smile? Isn't it a test for everyone...... Thinking of this, beads of sweat on everyone's heads were irrepressibly generated.

The people below wanted to be crooked for a while, so they forgot to answer. Seeing that it was a little cold, Stalin's face sank at the sight. At this time, Voroshilov, who had always been a little slow to react, suddenly thought of it, hurriedly stood up, and looked at Comrade Stalin with a smile on his face, and the imminent outbreak of the Chinese civil war between Comrade Stalin and Stalin would greatly improve the surrounding security environment of the Soviet motherland, and Japan, another potential threat to us, would certainly not let go of this opportunity...... At that time, the Chinese civil war is likely to turn into a three-way melee between China, the Chinese Kuomintang, and Japan, and we, the Soviet Union, will have a rare opportunity to develop, and under your wise leadership, the Soviet Union will surely take advantage of this opportunity to rise to become the most powerful industrialized country in the world. ”

Voroshilov is still eloquent, much more well-behaved than Bukharin. The look on Stalin's face had relaxed. He was looking forward to this day, but he had been looking forward to it for a long time, and now he has finally looked forward to it. At the moment, Comrade Voroshilov said no, our strategy is to transform the Chinese civil war into a decisive battle between China and Japan, and all our work in the East must be carried out around this purpose. ”

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became lively. Once Stalin's intentions were figured out, the leaders of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union were still very good at making plans.

"Comrade Stalin, there is now a huge disparity in strength between the Kuomintang and the GCD in China, and in order to prevent the Chinese GCD from bowing to the Kuomintang at a critical moment, we should vigorously assist the KMT. I suggest that we can quickly transport the 200,000 rifles we have in stockpile, with bullets, to the Chinese armed forces. "This was the suggestion of Deputy People's Commissar of Defense Tukhachevsky.

Molotov, secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee and who had been involved in secret diplomacy between Japan and the Soviet Union, also put forward the idea that we should send special envoys to the Japanese side and make it clear to them that the Soviet Union was willing to provide oil and steel to Japan in wartime, and to recognize their military occupation of Manchuria. ”

Even Kalinin, the chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, who was known as his "gracious grandfather", was in high spirits and said loudly that before the Chinese and the Chinese completed their preparations for war, we should suggest that the Chinese and the Chinese should adopt a conciliatory stance in their negotiations with the Kuomintang, such as agreeing that the Kuomintang would transport a small amount of supplies into the besieged city of Taiyuan in order to delay the outbreak of war. ”

Stalin was excited, got up from his chair, took a pipe in his hand, walked a few steps in the conference room, and ordered the People's Commissariat of Defense to send to China as soon as possible, enough guns and ammunition to arm 400,000 troops, at a price...... It's good to discuss, in short, give them the weapon first. In addition, the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs was instructed to send a special envoy to Japan and sign another secret treaty with them, mainly against China, so that the worries of the Japanese would be relieved, and as long as they were willing to do so, our rear would be settled."

……

Harbin, the Marshal's Mansion.

In the morning breeze, the three of them looked at each other silently. The rising sun shone brightly, shining on the body of Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Shaoshuai, who was dressed in straight uniform, as if a layer of gold leaf was plated around his body.

He suddenly laughed bitterly at himself, but he didn't expect that I, the second ancestor who lived in a remote corner, would become popular again now. The Kuomintang is desperately trying to win me over, and China G also treats me as a treasure...... What do you think, two teachers? Whose side should I be on? ”

"Commander-in-Chief" Standing on Zhang Xueliang's right hand, Lieutenant General Xi Qia, the commander of the Northeast Army's Liaoning Provincial Security, stood upright, and replied with an angry face: You inherited the foundation left by the old commander, and the rich territory of our four northeastern provinces, with more than 400,000 elite and warlike troops, can be declared a vassal to the Kuomintang according to the armor of the army, if we do this, will you not be compared with Liu Cong and Meng Chang in the history books in the future? Could it be that our Northeast Army also has 400,000 people to unload their armor, and not a single one of them is a man?"

Zhang Xueliang glanced at Xiqia, but still shook his head, Chiang Kai-shek promised to give Beijing, Zhili, and Chahar to our Northeast Army, and in the future, he would only nominally respect Wuhan. His words...... It shouldn't be false, right? No less words"

I don't have the confidence to say this, I'm afraid that Zhang Xueliang won't either. Xiqia sneered twice Commander-in-Chief, this is not a question of whether Chiang Kai-shek keeps his promises or not, but a question of the comparison of strength. Now our relationship with the Kuomintang and GCD is like that of Sun Quan, Cao Cao and Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period. At present, Cao Cao is about to send troops to Chibi to destroy Liu Bei, if our Sun Wu does not help Liu Bei resist Cao, but wants to destroy Liu Bei with Cao Cao, will there still be three points of the world in the future, and will we still have a way to live" Speaking of this, Xiqia burst into tears, and almost beat his chest.

Zhang Xueliang was silent, he was also very clear about the current situation, the Kuomintang and GCD were vying for the dominance of China in the future, and the Northeast Army was an important weight that could determine the outcome of this war, and the main reason why he could not make up his mind was precisely the word "maybe". Even with the help of 400,000 Northeast Army, GCD may not be able to defeat the Kuomintang in the end. At that time, the Northeast Army was only afraid that it would be settled by the Kuomintang in the autumn......

"Commander-in-chief, I fancy that G's Zhou is sincere to us." Xiqia's mood stabilized a little, and sighed softly, Isn't the misunderstanding between us and Zhong G just for the sake of turf? Now they are willing to return Tianjin and the eastern part of Zhili to us...... Doesn't that tell? ”

Zhang Xueliang suddenly remembered Japan, which had always been eyeing the Northeast, and he abruptly asked if the Japanese were abnormal in this paragraph and did not skip words.

Xi Qia thought for a while, and replied in a calm tone that this period of small Japan is experiencing the Great Depression, and the economy is very difficult, and even buying some rice and noodles has to rely on ration cards, where is there still room for external expansion? I heard that in the past two days, there has been a lot of talk about cutting military spending. The 2nd Division stationed in Kanto Prefecture has also resumed its usual establishment, and there are about 10,000 people, and the whole is nested in the barracks, and even the training has been abandoned a lot, and it seems that it will not be able to fight. ”

"Oh" Zhang Xueliang smiled, and then looked back at Teacher Guo Songling, you see? ”

Guo Songling also said lightly that the Japanese are indeed a lot quieter, and even the Ronin Pioneer Groups in various places are not making trouble in this period. But...... It can't be assumed that they have given up their ambitions for our Northeast, maybe they are paralyzing us. ”

Zhang Xueliang nodded quietly, and asked the teacher what he thought about the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party that was about to break out? Whose side should we be on? ”

Guo Songling stared at Zhang Xueliang, and after a long time, he still shook his head Han Qing, no matter what, fighting a civil war always brings disaster to the country and the people...... And at the moment, between the KMT and the CCP, whether it is the victory of the KMT or the GCD victory, it is not good for us. The best outcome is to continue the confrontation between the KMT and the CCP, so the best thing we can do is ...... Armed mediation, let's also learn from Wang Junhao to mediate the contradictions between the KMT and the CCP. ”

"This method is good" Zhang Xueliang nodded, and was just about to continue, when Xiqia on the side suddenly interjected, should our army enter the customs? ”

Zhang Xueliang looked back and smiled, of course, he was going to send troops into the customs, otherwise who would listen to our empty words? Teacher Xiqia, you go and talk to Zhou from Zhong G, I don't care about the territory...... It's just that I don't want to see another war break out in a country that has managed to settle down. If they agree with this view, I will bring 200,000 troops into the customs next month to mediate the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and by the way, mediate the battle of Shanxi. If China G does not agree, then the matter will be stopped, and our Northeast Army will be outside the customs, and it will not enter the customs again."

……

Wuhan, Military Commission of the Nationalist Government.

Chiang Kai-shek quietly looked at a telegram, and in the office, several henchmen looked at the old Chiang's face. This telegram was a secret telegram sent by He Chengjun, who was sent to the northeast by Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek's chief of guard translated it with a code book. In Chiang Kai-shek's anti-G conspiracy, the Northeast Army is a key link, and it must not go wrong.

Chiang Kai-shek finished reading the telegram with a cold expression. With a snap, he threw the telegram on the desk, humming this Zhang Hanqing took so much of us, and now he actually wants to come to armed mediation, and he wants to swallow half of Zhili for nothing without a single shot, which is really hateful."

Yang Yongtai, who had just returned from Tianjin, hurriedly picked up the telegram, flipped through it and read it several times, and his face gradually turned blue. Most of the anti-G conspiracy this time came from his handwriting, using the Jin army to consume the middle G, liaising with the Feng army and the youth army to attack from three sides, these were all his ideas for Lao Jiang. Unexpectedly, when the matter came, Zhang Xueliang actually came to such a hand

"Jiegong...... This Zhang Xueliang, we still have to continue to woo, and now he just said that he wants to 'armed mediation' and does not stand on the side of Zhong G. ”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled coldly, these reactionary warlords are essentially the same, and they don't want us to unify China at all. We can't always co-opt these people...... Someone has to come out and play blackface and give him some hardship. ”

"Jiegong means ......"

Chiang Kai-shek snorted and dealt with Zhang Xueliang, where do you need me to make a move? You go and call Luo Fuwen and ask him. ”
