Chapter 179: Anti-Japanese and Anti-Chiang Pact

Wu Jiandao is a staff officer of Jin Zhao's brigade headquarters, but this is only his identity on the surface, but his actual identity is the head of the spy under Jin Zhao. He leads a secret intelligence agency that specializes in spying on intelligence, and its intelligence network has gradually spread across the country. The personnel of this intelligence organization, including Wu Jiandao himself, are composed of professional intelligence personnel summoned by the system, and they are only responsible to Jin Zhao himself, and they are loyal.

Wu Jiandao walked into Jin Zhao's office, and then quietly closed the door. "Travel! According to our latest information, Cai Tingkai has sent Chen Gongpei and his entourage of five people to Wangtai, the headquarters of the Red Army's Eastern Army, for negotiations. ”

"Chen Gongpei?" Jin Zhao couldn't help frowning, there were only some vague memories of this Chen Gongpei in the remnants of the dead ghost Jin Zhao, as if this person was a Red Party member, how could Cai Tingkai choose a Red Party member as his representative?

Wu Jiandao saw the doubts in Jin Zhao's heart, and then said, "This Chen Gongpei, also known as Chen Shoukang, was an early Red Party member, a student in the second phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, who worked in the Political Department of the Fourth Army during the Northern Expedition, and later served as the secretary of the Political Department of the Eleventh Army (the predecessor of the Nineteenth Route Army), and had a relationship with Chen Mingshu. After the Northern Expedition, he participated in the Nanchang Uprising, fled to Hong Kong after the defeat, and soon announced his departure from the party. Later, through Zeng Xiansheng, the general manager of Shenzhou Guoguang Society and the deputy director of the Quartermaster Department of the 19th Route Army, he established close contact with Chen Mingshu and became one of Chen Mingshu's staff. ”

After listening to Wu Jiandao's introduction, Jin Zhao nodded and said, "En! That's a good candidate! In fact, what Jin Zhao didn't know was that as early as when Chen Mingshu, Cai Tingkai and others began to plot the Fujian Incident, they had the idea of cooperating with the Red Party, but they had not been able to make progress. After the defeat of Liancheng, Cai Tingkai also sent a telegram to complain to Chen Mingshu, asking him whether the Red Party had the heart to cooperate, and why he committed Liancheng, northern Fujian and other places.

It was precisely because of the fiasco of Liancheng that Chen Mingshu stepped up his contact with the Red Party. On the one hand, he actively looked for people to go to the negotiations, and on the other hand, he sent a telegram to appease Cai Tingkai, "Attacking Fujian is the mistake of the powerful faction of the Red Party, and the two sides have not yet succeeded in cooperating, so of course they will not give up hostile behavior." He also asked Cai Tingkai to strictly restrain his subordinates to prevent a large-scale decisive battle with the Red Army. When Chen Mingshu was worried about the negotiators, Chen Gongpei came to Hong Kong, but he had nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. Chen Mingshu was overjoyed, and immediately recommended Chen Gongpei to Cai Tingkai to negotiate on behalf of the 19th Route Army, Cai Tingkai also felt that this person had contact with both sides, and was very suitable as a negotiator, so he agreed. Chen Gongpei then rushed to Fuzhou, and then went to Wangtai for negotiations.

Jin Zhao thought about it, and estimated that the war in Fujian was about to end, and I was afraid that the two sides would be able to reach an armistice agreement soon, so he nodded and said, "Pay close attention to the negotiation process between the two sides." ”

"Yes!" Wu Jiandao answered, then turned around and left.

Jin Zhao thought about it, calculated the time, the Fujian incident should break out at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, and estimated the strength in his hands now, Jin Zhao really didn't have much certainty, but when it came to this, he could only give it a go.

Sure enough, not long after, Wu Jiandao came with news again, and the negotiations between the two sides in Wangtai reached a preliminary consensus. The Red Party demanded that the 19th Route Army send an official representative to Ruijin for higher-level negotiations. Because Chen Gongpei did not serve in the 19th Route Army, he only negotiated with the Red Army as a friend. Cai Tingkai was very happy after receiving Chen Gongpei's reply, and after discussing with the main generals of the 19th Route Army, he decided to send Xu Minghong, director of the Political Department of the 19th Route Army, to Ruijin in front of him for formal negotiations.

Subsequently, Xu Minghong, Chen Gongpei and others went to Ruijin for negotiations, which were highly valued by Taizu, Mr. Zhu and other central leaders. After some negotiations, the two sides finally signed the "Preliminary Agreement on Anti-Speech and Anti-Chiang," the details of which are as follows:

First, the two sides shall immediately cease military operations, temporarily demarcate the military boundary line (as annexed), and not station the main army on this line. At the same time, the 19th Route Army must use all means to remove or eliminate all obstacles to the implementation of the agreement between Fujian and the Soviet Union.

2. The two sides shall resume trade in exported and imported commodities and adopt the principle of mutual assistance and cooperation.

3. The Fujian Provincial Political Axe and the 19th Route Army immediately released the political prisoners in various prisons in Fujian.

4. The political axe of Fujian Province and the 19th Route Army approve the activities of all revolutionary organizations in Fujian Province (all anti-imperialist groups of the people and all armed organizations of the revolutionary people, and allow freedom of press, speech, association, assembly, and strike).

5. After the signing of the preliminary agreement, the Fujian Provincial Government and the 19th Route Army issued an anti-Chiang declaration in accordance with the principles of this agreement, and immediately made preparations for anti-Chiang military action.

6. After the signing of the preliminary agreement, the plenipotentiaries of the two sides shall issue passport laissez-passers to each other, and the two sides shall be responsible for protecting their security.

7. In the event of a necessary exchange of personnel between the two sides, the representatives shall be responsible for protecting all the safety of the representatives and other personnel.

8. Until the completion of the anti-Chiang military arrangements in Fujian and the 19th Route Army, the two sides shall keep the negotiations of the agreement strictly secret, and the promulgation of the agreement shall be subject to the consent of both sides.

9. After the above conditions are fulfilled, the two sides shall conclude a separate anti-Chiang joint combat agreement in the shortest possible time.

10. The trade relations between the two sides shall be based on the principle of mutual assistance and reciprocity.

11. This Agreement shall enter into force upon the signing of a draft treaty by the plenipotentiaries of the Parties. There are two copies of the formal agreement, which have been signed and sealed by the political axes of the two sides and the official responsible persons of the 19th Route Army.

Looking at this information stolen by the intelligence officers at the risk of being exposed, Jin Zhao showed a knowing smile. It seems that the time is ripe for a coup d'Γ©tat in Fujian. In fact, there is a certain regret in this agreement, that is, although the two sides stopped all military hostilities, the Red Army also withdrew from some places, and the two sides resumed the situation before the battle of Liancheng, the two sides did not reach an offensive and defensive alliance agreement, which was also one of the reasons for the rapid failure of the Fujian Incident. It can be seen that the two sides have not achieved complete trust, at least the Red Central Committee, which was heavily influenced by Wang Ming's left-leaning line, has not yet fully trusted the 19th Route Army.

However, Jin Zhao was very satisfied with this, because in Jin Zhao's original plan, he did not rely on the influence of the Red Army. Because Jin Zhao knew that Taizu's status in the Red Party at this time was not high at all, and he would soon be squeezed out of the central leadership. Although Jin Zhao didn't know much about history, he knew that the fifth anti-encirclement campaign had failed in the end, and now that the fifth anti-encirclement campaign was about to begin, Jin Zhao judged that Taizu at this time had been or was about to be squeezed out of the leadership. So in the upcoming Fujian incident, Jin Zhao can only rely on himself. (To be continued.) )
