Chapter 787 Leaks (two chapters in one)(1/2)
In addition to radio stations, Fang Buwei also has to handle other business affairs.
After returning from the United States, Fang Buwei made arrangements in advance for Sin Chew Commercial Bank and Sihai Commercial Bank.
After the full-scale war of resistance began, the Japanese army immediately blocked the coastal and inland transportation lines. The only things that could be used outside were the Yunnan-Vietnam Highway leading to Vietnam Haipong and the Soviet Union's Soviet-Mongolia Highway leading to the Soviet Union.
As for the most famous anti-Japanese material transportation line during the Anti-Occupy Period, the Yunnan-Burma Highway, it will not be opened until 39 years.
He moved his headquarters in Sin Chew Trading Company in Shanghai to Nanyang and began to build a branch in Hong Kong and Vietnam.
The fleets, fleets and horse gangs of the Sihai Commercial Bank have gradually begun to move to Guangzhou, Yunnan and Northwest.
In addition, the side did not resist the opposition and exchanged nearly 15 million US dollars of working capital of Sin Chew Foreign Company for military supplies such as gasoline that need to be imported.
And it only stocks up but not sells.
This is what Sin Chew Foreign Company has earned by trafficking gasoline and other scarce materials over the past year.
For this reason, Fang Buwei also asked Yu Erjun to send someone to buy half a hill in Chongqing, which was specially used to build a warehouse.
This is not that Fang Buwei wants to hoard goods, but that he is getting closer to the full-scale war of resistance. Once the two countries go to war, they can't buy these things.
Including Yu Erjun and Situ Meitang, they didn't quite understand Fang Buwei's intention.
Fang Buwei only explained that he was planning ahead.
Since we know some key nodes, how could Fang Buwei not respond in advance?
Fortunately, he is the major shareholder, and Yu Erjun, Situ Meitu and others are very convinced by him, so he decided to do it in one sentence.
Fang Buwei stayed in Shanghai for three days, finalized the transfer plan for the trading bank and the remaining materials, and then returned to Nanjing without stopping.
The details of the CCP are negotiating intermittently, and every time Qian Dajun sends the party to listen.
Fang Buwei had known the result for a long time, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he had to continue to be his little transparent.
After a few round trips, the negotiations were paused when they saw that there was no effect.
Negotiators on both sides knew that the initiative was still in the hands of the chairman. The chairman disagreed and continued to talk was just a waste of time.
I can't count the days day by day.
On June 4, when Mr. Zhou went to Lushan to meet with the Chairman, the Chairman still refused to give in: the Red Army was not allowed to set up a headquarters and must obey all orders of the central government.
Mao and Zhu must leave the Red Army and go abroad to study abroad...
The two sides parted in disagreement, which is known in history as the first Lushan negotiation.
Just as the two sides agreed that Mr. Zhou was preparing to go to Lushan for the second time, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out.
At around 7 p.m. on July 7, a squadron of the North China Garage Army (equivalent to a battalion) was exercising near Lugou Bridge.
Around 11 night, the Japanese army said that a soldier had run away during the exercise and had to forcefully enter the 29th Army's garrison to search.
What a joke.
The 29th Army was no longer favored by the central government and was nominally a regular force of the Republic of China government.
Another thing is that due to a series of events such as the He Mei Agreement, most of North China was given to the Japanese, and the 29th Army was almost synonymous with traitors. Song Zheyuan did not want to be scolded as the second son Zhang, so he would never agree.
The Hebei-Chahar government and the Japanese army agreed that they could jointly send personnel to investigate the next day.
The missing soldiers had actually been found, but the Japanese army hid and refused to report it. In the early morning of the 8th, they shelled the Chinese soldiers stationed in Lugou Bridge.
In fact, neither China nor Japan expected that this incident would become the fuse of the full-scale war of resistance.
The Japanese army's initial purpose was to take the initiative to provoke trouble, put pressure on the National Government, and gradually erode the North China region, so that the National Government would recognize the independence of Northeast China and North China.
The Japanese only believed that this time the 29th Army and the National Government would definitely give in and seek reconciliation like a series of events before the last "He Mei Agreement".
But the Japanese forgot the way they were at home and abroad at this time.
The Xi'an Incident has just happened for half a year. No matter how thick-skinned the chairman is and how low the emotional intelligence is, he dare not take what he said soon as an air.
If you dare to retreat, these local warlords who have proposed to unite to fight against Japan will dare to unite to fight against Chiang Kai-shek, and Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries will also have doubts about him.
The 29th Army Command issued a telegram to the front line officer: Lugou Bridge is the tombs of you and others, and should survive and die with the bridge and not retreat.
The CCP telegraphed the whole country: "Ping and Tianjin are in crisis! North China is in crisis! The Chinese nation is in crisis... Only when the whole nation implements the war of resistance is our way out!...Don't let Japanese imperialism occupy China's inch of land... and drain the last drop of blood to defend the country!"
All over the country responded.
The chairman who was still in Lushan called the 29th Army, "Wanping City should be defended and not retreat...Lugou Bridge, Changxindian must not be lost."
And the whole country was telegraphed: "Don't surrender, do not expand, do not seek war, and will fight against the war!"
Fang Buwei always felt that this sentence seemed to say: Don’t force me, otherwise I will die with you...
The Japanese army did not expect that the National Government would be so tough this time?
Seeing that the Japanese could not defeat Wanping for a while, they played the trick of negotiating.
First, we want to use negotiations to put pressure on the central government, and second, we want to take the opportunity to take over Pingjin if the National Government does not give in.
Someone from the Ministry of Military Affairs mentioned this, but He Yingqing and others have never believed it. Even Song Zheyuan thought that the Japanese army would never start a war on a large scale.
The 29th Army missed the best opportunity to deploy defense and dragged it until the Kwantung Army assembled before it could react.
Fang Buwei really wanted to go to North China, but no one agreed.
First, he is not worth enough, and second, he has no reason.
Like the 17th Route Army in the Xi'an Incident, the 29th Army was changed by Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army and was not favored by the central government and chairman at all.
The 29th Army has never seen the money and supplies that the overseas Chinese aid have been saved.
Song Zheyuan has been criticized by the Chairman once or twice after entering the newspaper. The conflict between the two sides is very deep.
At this time, another special envoy of a spy nature will be sent. As soon as he arrived at the land, he will probably be used by the 29th Army to sacrifice the flag.
Even if he wanted to go to North China to detect the movements of the Japanese army.
Ma Chunfeng did not say it clearly, but Gu Zhenlong scolded Fang for being arrogant. If Chen Gongshu's North China District was not decorated?
Fang Buwei could only grit his teeth and slapped his neck every day, waiting for the battle reports from North China.
On the 11th, He Yingqing presided over the meeting of the commander-in-chief and later reported to the Chairman of the Qing Dynasty for approval to respond to the North China Incident.
This time, the National Government's reaction was extremely fast.
Before the troops moved, food and grass would go first. The commander-in-chief decided to transfer the war flame reserves, grain and fodder reserves to North China from now on, which could be supplied to at least 200,000 people for three months.
At the same time, we reported to the Chairman and requested that some German and military troops be mobilized to go north.
In addition, the Commander-in-Chief also dispatched the Second Division's supplementary brigade to secretly enter Shanghai's urban area, defend the airport and other strategic requirements.
This is because of fear that the Japanese army would seize the retreat.
Afraid that the 29th Army had compromised without authorization, the Commander-in-Chief sent Xiong Bin, then Director of the General Affairs Department of the General Staff Headquarters, to Baoding and made a series of promises to the 29th Army: to have guns and to have food.
This is because Song Zheyuan became the second young man Zhang.
Once he retreats, North China will become the second Northeast.
Fang Buweijue's move has a bit of a magical stroke.
Before Xiong Bin arrived in Baoding, Song Zheyuan reached the first agreement with Japan...
Of course, it is not said that the cedes land and sells the country. It is just a resolute way of the central government, and agreed to the conditions of some Japanese people and agreed to send people to Wanping to search within the Lugou Bridge.
In fact, even Song Zheyuan did not expect that this was the Japanese's delaying strategy. Just three days later, the Japanese took the initiative to tear up the agreement.
Song Zheyuan was once in a vain.
But except Fang Buwei, no one knew the Japanese's true intentions, and the Nanjing Command was a little panicked.
Once the 29th Army compromises, the Japanese will be free to attack Shanghai and Nanjing, and then they will be attacked from both sides.
At the meeting of the commander-in-chief on July 14, when someone proposed to block the Yangtze River and sent a navy to garrison Wusongkou...
This is a situation where a full war is going to start. No one can make a decision, so they can only report to the Chairman for a decision.
The chairman was half-believing and half-doubting.
By this time, he still didn't believe that the Japanese army would start a full-scale war.
Until the Japanese warships reached Xiaguan, news came that the various divisions of the Kwantung Army had gathered in North China one after another...
"The Chinese nation has reached its last moment and there is no chance to compromise. If you give up your size and land and sovereignty, you will be the eternal sinner of the Chinese nation..."
"If the war starts, it means that the land is divided into north and south, and people are divided into old and young. No matter who is, everyone has the responsibility to defend the territory and fight against the war, and they all have the determination to sacrifice everything. Only by sacrificing to the end and fighting to the end, can we win the final victory..."
Fang Buwei finally knew the source of this sentence.
The Chairman and Mr. Zhou met in a hurry and published the famous "Famous Famous in the War of Resistance in Lushan". On the 20th, he returned to Nanjing.
On the 21st, the Chairman personally presided over the strategic meeting of the Command Department. Jiang Baili submitted the article to Chairman Jiang Baili proposed the grand strategic policy of "Japan will take this opportunity to start a full war, and we will respond to the protracted war against Japan."
But the chairman refused to say it on the spot and even refuted it at the meeting.
Fang Buwei was not qualified to attend the meeting. He heard something from Gu Zhenlong's words and realized something was wrong, so he tried to get the strategic policy proposed by General Jiang Baili.
After reading it, I was shocked by the gods.
Isn’t this the general policy of the National Government against Japan during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japan?
To be continued...
