Chapter 6 Stalemate Section 2 Going to the Enemy
After reading the discussion, Gongbo's expression suddenly fell silent! "Fohai, the world's Zhuqin thought about it carefully. I always feel that it is not possible for Mr. Jiang to participate. This peace may be difficult to achieve, so it should be handed over to Mr. Jiang to see it.
"Public Blog, I really can't tell Mr. Jiang about this." Zhou Fohai smiled and took out a cigar from his underwear pocket. After lit it, he continued: "Mr. Jiang is now focused on fighting. The Americans have given him a large loan, which makes him so excited that he can't find the north. The high-profile a few days ago pushed him to the altar and can't calm him down.
"It is precisely because of this that I think this move is inappropriate." Chen Gongbo still felt bitter, and his uneasiness became stronger: "The people are in charge of war. Mr. Wang has made a strong decision to reconcile, which has already had an impact on his reputation. If he takes this step, it will probably be more difficult for the Chinese to understand. How will history evaluate Mr. In the future, history will be evaluating him in the future.
Wang Jingwei walked over and patted his shoulder gently, sighed: "Public Blog, I don't know that this step is very dangerous. Since the Qing Dynasty, I have followed the Prime Minister's revolution and worked hard for decades to make the country prosperous and strong, the nation and the people can live a good life, but over the past few decades, the country has become increasingly chaotic. Now it has reached the verge of danger and death. If you don't take any action, you will really destroy the country. In the future, I will have no face to see the Prime Minister.
"But sir." Chen Gongbo still disagreed: "If this continues, the party will be divided and the country will be divided. Will the Japanese keep their promises? We have suffered too much. From the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 to the Lugou Bridge Incident, when did they talk about credit? Also, this is a peace talk with the enemy behind the back of the government, and there is a question of position. In addition, there is another issue of organizational establishment, the government, sir, this matter must be cautious.
"Public Bo, you're too careful." Chen Bijun disagreed, but Wang Jingwei interrupted her: "Public Bo's worries are not unreasonable. If you really want to take this step, you can't make mistakes in every step next.
"Mr. Wang, don't worry," Zhou Fohai raised his head and said seriously: "There is news from Zongwu again. They have negotiated with Akira Kyosatsu and Takeo Imai, and Japan will make a statement. Mr. Wang will issue another statement to respond, and then formally negotiate with Japan to announce this treaty. We will contact Longyun, Yunnan and Yu Han, Guangdong to make a response and form a new government in southern Yunnan."
"Long Yun? Chen Gongbo screamed in surprise: "Where is Long Yun himself in Chongqing? Zhuang Wenjie had long destroyed his power in Yunnan. He still responded with a telephone? Establish a new government in southern Yunnan? Brother Fo Hai, aren't you dreaming?
"Dreams never happen," Zhou Fohai laughed: "The lean camel is more secret than the Cultural Revolution in Madazhuang. Long Yun's two sons are still in Yunnan, and the eldest is also the commander of the Southern Yunnan Security Bureau, and the southern Yunnan is still under Long Yun's hands.
"I cannot make a statement in Chongqing. I am the vice president of the Kuomintang. I am the statement in Chongqing. I am on behalf of the government. So I must leave Chongqing and make this statement outside. This only represents myself. I just regard it as my personal behavior. If the talks are appropriate, I will persuade the government. If Mr. Jiang does not accept it, then we can only set up a new government aside. I believe that our good intentions will definitely be understood by the people."
Zhou Fohai was fattened Wang Jingwei. He knew very well that the reason why Wang Jingwei had not made up his mind for a long time was mainly because he was concerned about the public's reaction and how history evaluated it.
"How history evaluates that is the future, it is very complicated, and we can ignore it for the time being. All we can do is do what we should do well. Success depends on people and planning in heaven. To do big things, we have to take risks and sacrifice.
Chen Gongbo understood at this time. He sighed softly, looked up at Wang Jingwei and said, "You have discussed it, what else can I say, but sir. I still think this matter should be cautious, and it is best to give up."
"Public Blog, you and I have been together for twenty years. I will pay attention to your considerations, but I am determined to take action. I hope you can help me like before." Wang Jingwei was very sincere, his eyes full of expectations.
Chen Gongbo sighed slightly: "If you have to do this, even if I don't agree with it, I will still follow you. Wherever you go, if you leave Chongqing, I will leave Sichuan."
"Okay! True love is revealed in times of adversity. Gongbo, you are worthy of being a confidant of your husband!" Zeng Zhongming was overjoyed. Chen Gongbo was an important assistant to Wang Jingwei and had a great influence on Wang Jingwei. If Chen Gongbo insisted, no one knew what Wang Jingwei would evolve into in the end.
Chen Bijun brought the red wine, and she was very happy. The matter was finally settled. Seeing Wang Jingwei having a lot of worries and hesitation these days, she felt angry and finally settled the matter today.
"I'll go talk to Long Yun tomorrow and finalize the details. Now, every step in the future cannot be wrong. Zhou Fohai's spirit is greatly boosted. Although he looks full of confidence, he is actually not sure. This step is completely gambling.
Chen Gongbo saw them happy. The depression in his heart was endless. He was not as optimistic as Zeng Zhongming, nor was he like Zhou Fohaijian's book "Dishan's different body" and said that he had gone abroad, "The brothers were full of confidence. He fought with Chiang Kai-shek over the years. He knew that there was no trouble for the army. In a small place, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to clean up it, and he didn't need to transfer troops from other provinces. Zhuang Jihua could destroy it.
After receiving the telegram from Zhou Fohai, Gaozongwu immediately went to the East Asian trading company to visit Takeo Imai. When Takeo Imai learned about Gozongwu's purpose, he was extremely excited.
"Tao Jun, thank you for your hard work, I will notify Hirozuo immediately." Takeo Imai's tone trembled. During the waiting days, he and Akira Kagesaki returned to Nanjing once. The operation they presided over was conducted under the guidance of the General Staff of the Base Camp. Strictly speaking, it was not approved by the Japanese government. It was a private peace talks.
When I was in Nanjing, the results of the Wuhan battle had been reported to the General Command of the China Expeditionary Army, and everyone from Commander-in-Chief Tada Jun was stunned by the huge losses.
The entire Wuhan war was in operation for more than one million troops, and the number of Japanese troops was 600,000, just to deal with the fifth war zone. There were 200,000 troops south of the Yangtze River. There were 100,000 troops that contained Gu Zhutong's third war zone. To the north of the easing, there were 200,000 troops that attacked the First War Zone. With such a large-scale operation, the loss of troops was as high as 300,000, more than 200 aircraft, more than 500 tanks, and countless other weapons and ammunition.
The troops that suffered serious losses were urgently waiting for replenishment. But the order from the military headquarters said that the domestic army could no longer meet the needs of the dispatched troops and required them to make full use of China's industrial enterprises to produce all military supplies, including weapons and ammunition.
After receiving the order, Tada Jung got angry on the spot. The only industrial enterprises in China, China's only industrial enterprises, had long been demolished to the west, and the rest were workshops, with low production capacity and could not meet the needs of the army at all.
In addition to supplies, the soldiers who were supplemented in the late Wuhan war were either seventeen or eighteen-year-olds who had just graduated from school or half-year-olds over 40. Such soldiers would never be needed by the army at the beginning of the war.
One-third of the military pay received by soldiers was forcibly purchased patriotic government bonds, and remote garrisons in Suiyuan, Inner Mongolia and other garrisons even experienced food shortages, and looting was very common.
The war expanded and the army occupied most of its resources. It caused serious dissatisfaction in the Navy. It said that half of the more than 700 aircraft that fought in Wuhan this time came from naval aircraft carriers. The navy's resistance became increasingly high. The delay in approval of the Three Kingdoms Alliance has had a great relationship with the navy's refusal to concessions.
Building tanks requires steel, building cars requires steel, and building cannons requires steel; the empire only has so much aluminum every year, and the navy and the army also need it. The navy and the army frequently compete for materials. In order to compete for materials, the navy even landed on Hainan Island with Marines. This was completely unnecessary and attracted the attention of Europe and the United States to the Japanese going south.
Forced by helplessness, the military headquarters demanded that the Chinese dispatched troops not launch a large-scale attack in the near future and try to save troops. Some divisions should be transferred back to their homeland and Manchuria, and demanded that the Chinese dispatched troops be reduced to 1.2 million by the end of the year.
Takeo Imai went from these orders to the military's attempt to resolve the China Incident with political means. This was a major shift in the military's policy. Although there was a division between expanding factions and non-expanding factions since the Lugou Bridge Incident, the expansion factions have been in control of the military's policy-making power. After Ishihara left the military, the expansion factions completely controlled the military's policy-making power, and even Seishiro Itagaki could only conduct peace talks secretly.
After Gozongwu left, Takeo Imai excitedly circled around the house. Wang Jingwei, the big fish, finally took the bait. As long as he established a new government in Yunnan, China's iron-clad anti-Japanese war situation would break down. Even if peace cannot come, the pressure on the Imperial Army in China will be reduced a lot, and the pressure on the domestic situation will be reduced. Therefore, you can sit and watch the changes in the European war.
Takeo Imai immediately ordered someone to generate electricity for Tokyo and Shanghai, notifying Itagaki and Kagesaki that Wang Jingwei had accepted the treaty and please inform the government immediately to quell the Chinese incident as soon as possible.
Takeo Imai did not expect that Kagesaki's call to reply soon, but Seishiro Itagaki's call to reply was late and arrived the next morning. The content was not about congratulations or next action plan, but told him that the military headquarters decided to reverse the cabinet, and the Army Minister Shizuru resigned, and the Army decided not to send anyone to take over as minister and forced the Abe cabinet to resign.
After receiving the telegram, Takeo Imai was trembling with anger. The head of the Hong Kong agency Matsuaki, who sent him a telegram, was shocked.
"Baga!" Takeo Imai kept the cup in his hand on the ground, and the cup was split into countless pieces on the ground.
"Your Excellency." Matsuao Daizo hurried forward, and Takeo Imai waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm fine. I, I just feel angry. The empire has reached such a critical point, and the country is still like this. Why can't we work together!"
