Republic of China game

The Central Committee of the Communist Party is holding a meeting at this time, and the topic of discussion is also about the Northwest New Army.The meeting room was filled with smoke, and most of the committee members were accustomed to thinking about problems while smoking, especially Mao Zedong.As the party's military secretary and the general political commissar of the Northwest New Army, he had a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he had to think about a myriad of problems.

"Comrades, let me first talk about the preliminary plan formulated by our military secretariat. The secretariat suggested that the construction of the Northwest New Army should be a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, train cadres in Guangzhou, and on the other hand, the Northwest New Army can also be formed in northern Shaanxi first. Yes. Let the military cadres of the Kuomintang and our political cadres first put up the airs of the army, wait until our own military cadres are well trained, and then expand, and strive to build a real revolutionary army within one year." Chairman Mao took a step while puffing on a cigarette Recommend to the Central Committee the plan formulated by the Military Department during this period.

At this time, the leaders of the Communist Party Central Committee in Guangzhou were mainly the Central Bureau composed of Chen Duxiu, Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen, Luo Zhanglong, and Tan Pingshan.Among them, Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen, and Luo Zhanglong were all from Hunan, and Mao Zedong was the leader. So at this time, Mao Zedong was the de facto number two figure in the Communist Party, and he was also an important military secretary.

"Comrade Runzhi is right." Cai Hesen first stood up and seconded: "The time to form a revolutionary army within a year is a bit tight, and a two-pronged approach is the best choice. However, without our own military cadres, will the Let the military cadres of the Kuomintang control the troops?"

Tan Pingshan shook his head indifferently when he heard Cai's question and said with a smile: "I know Comrades Zesheng and Xiyi. They are loyal followers of the Prime Minister and support the three major policies. They and other Kuomintang generals It’s not the same, and they won’t turn the new army into their own personal armed forces.” Tan Pingshan is a veteran of the Kuomintang and a member of the Central Bureau of the Communist Party, er, he can mix well at both ends.

Chen Duxiu turned his head to look at General Pavlov, the Soviet advisor who was sitting on the side. In history, he was the military advisor of the Whampoa Military Academy, but now, the Whampoa Military Academy has a big butterfly who graduated from West Point, and a Chinese He is a German military expert, so the Soviet adviser Hanmi is not very interested.

"Comrade advisor, what do you think?" Chen Duxiu asked.

Pavlov did not understand Chinese, and Qu Ming and Qu Ying took turns as his interpreters.After listening to Qu Ming's translation, General Pavlov pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Comrade Mao Zedong's suggestion can be considered, but we also need to strengthen the leadership of the troops, such as soldiers' committees and party branches must be established in time, The political commissars of each unit should also be in place in time, so that even if there are no party military cadres, they can fight. In the history of our wars with the White Army, more than [-] military experts worked for us. As long as there are enough political cadres, use the old Military experts in the army are not a problem."

"Okay, Runzhi, get ready. After the Kuomintang has reached an agreement with Shanxi and Yang Hucheng, we can take people in first and start to form our own armed forces." Speaking of this, I have never been very interested in guns. Chen Duxiu was also a little fascinated, as if he saw tens of thousands of red soldiers marching into Beijing with great vigor.

The CCP meeting had just ended when Luo Yaoguo's car stopped at the gate of the CCP's residence.

"As for Fuwen, welcome, welcome, why do you have time to come to us as a busy person?" At this time, the relationship between the two parties was in the honeymoon period, and Mao Zedong was naturally very enthusiastic about Luo Yaoguo's arrival, so he went to greet Luo Yaoguo in person at the gate of the central resident.

After shaking hands with Mao Zedong and exchanging a few pleasantries, the two walked side by side into the building where the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is located.As soon as he walked into the office of the Military Secretariat, Luo Yaoguo explained straight to the point: "Chairman, there is a call from Beijing, and Weng Ran has won the position of guard envoy to Northern Shaanxi for General Hucheng. Moreover, Weng Ran and Yan Baichuan's representative have already met. Yes. We can go to Taiyuan to meet with him at any time to discuss purchasing weapons and equipment. Is there anyone from the CCP who wants to go with us? According to the usual practice, after negotiating with Yan Baichuan, we need to pay 100% of the deposit first. Therefore, we need to prepare [-] million dollars."

"Okay, okay. This time, I will entrust General Fuwen with full authority for the purchase of arms. Our party has complete trust in the general. We will arrange for Qu Ming and Qu Ying to assist you. However, they are just helping you manage the checks, not We will participate in the negotiation." Mao Zedong pointed to Qu Ming and Qu Ying beside him and said with a smile.

Luo Yaoguo smiled at the two brothers and sisters, shook his hands and said, "It's okay, just join me in the negotiation with Xi En and Xiaoying, of course, you can't say that you are the Communist Party, Yan Baichuan will not accept it all at once. If you two If you are ready, we will leave the day after tomorrow, this time we will be the compradors of Citibank. Take the train the day after tomorrow and go north to Zhengding to meet the representatives of Ran Weng and Shanxi."

Chapter 0060 North to Taiyuan ([-])

Qu Ming and Qu Ying arrived at Guangzhou Railway Station early today. The brother and sister sat in the somewhat messy waiting room, staring at each other without saying a word, as if they were venting their anger.

"Sister, your elder brother Fuwen is here." Seeing Luo Yaoguo and his party slowly walk into the waiting room, Qu Ming had a rare smile on his face.He pulled the girl who was still sulking: "Xiaoying, if you are not allowed to see Luo Yaoguo, you will be angry. Now that Luo Yaoguo is here, why don't you want to see him anymore?"

"Huh!" The little girl snorted, and turned her head to look at the gate of the waiting room. Her face, which had just looked better, sank again: "Men don't have a good thing." Qu Ying looked at her brother who was gloating Then he added another sentence: "You are also a man, so you are not a good thing!"

It turned out that when he was preparing to go north in the past two days, Qu Ming kept telling his sister to keep a distance from Luo Yaoguo, a married man and member of the Kuomintang, and not to speak more than three sentences a day.

And since Qu Ying went to France to work and study with her elder brother at a young age, and also joined the Communist Party, her character is naturally not a good girl.How can you be convinced when you see your elder brother using the tone of a feudal autocratic father to intimidate others?At first, he only had a slight affection for Luo Yaoguo, but when he was provoked by his brother, he had a bold idea of ​​trying to have a relationship.For this reason, the two siblings quarreled all afternoon, and they are still fighting at the station until today.

But what Qu Xiaomei didn't expect was that the "lover" Luo Yaoguo came to the station hugging left and right. The two young wives were holding Luo Yaoguo's arm, followed by the adjutant Luo Shun, the servant Luo Gan, and a little fat man.

"Xie En, Xiaoying, you have arrived. Let me introduce you. This is my fifth younger brother Wu Ziliang, who has a strong name. He is an attendant this time when he is going north. You have all met these two, Ma Jiaoli and Natalie Lesinskaya, the two of them will also go north with me." Luo Yaoguo introduced Wu Ziliang to the two brothers and sisters with a smile and told him that there were two new members who were like flowers and jade.The request to accompany Luo Yaoguo to the north was first proposed by Natalie, and most likely it was an instruction from the superior. Luo Yaoguo knew that he would not refuse. Since he brought Natalie to the north, it would be unreasonable not to bring the ocean horse, so he hugged him left and right. We came together, anyway, we have booked four boxes, so we are not afraid that we will not be able to sit down.

"These two are Qu Ming and Qu Ying from the Communist Party's Military Secretariat." Luo Yaoguo introduced the two brothers and sisters of the Qu family to Wu Ziliang, his entourage. The little fat man came from a family of merchants and was very good at bargaining. This time, he had a contract of 500 million US dollars. , how can it be done without taking him?Originally, Mr. Zhongshan wanted to send Song Ziwen and Luo Yaoguo to go north together, but the representatives of Krupp and Rheinmetall happened to be in Guangzhou in the past two days, and they wanted to discuss cooperation with Shaoguan Iron and Steel Company, so Song Ziwen naturally had no resources to spare.

"Fortunately, fortunately." Qu Ming knew early on that Luo Yaoguo had four brothers, and among them, the fifth brother was the shrewdest.

"I have admired Mr. Qu for a long time, Ms. Qu's name, Wu is very polite." The little fat man also bowed his hands very politely.Fatty was recently transferred to the Whampoa Military Academy by Luo Yaoguo. With his brother-in-law An Yi, he will develop a group of people in Whampoa, so that Luo Yaoguo's team will be enriched.

"It's almost time, let's get in the car first, and talk slowly on the way if we have anything to say." In this era, the Guangdong-Han Railway has not yet been completed, and Zhushao directly needs to take a car, so the whole journey takes ten days. Fortunately, with a beautiful woman, it should not be possible too lonely.Luo Yaoguo led the two beauties to the platform first, and boarded the train bound for Beijing.

The train roared out of the station and headed north, trailing a long cloud of black smoke.Luo Yaoguo's second life has been to many countries, but it was the first time for him to take a long-distance trip in his own country.Looking at the beautiful pastoral scenery outside the window, he discovered for the first time that his motherland is so beautiful and broad, it seems that it is worth protecting her with his whole life and energy.

"Ugh! What am I thinking about? How can I be so noble? I'm here to enjoy life, and I'll leave the defense of the country to the two communist parties on the opposite side." Luo Yaoguo quickly gathered his thoughts and ruled out Unnecessary distracting thoughts, so as not to become a tragic protagonist, the kind of people who worry about the country and the people in this country seem to become tragic characters.

Qu Ming is frowning now, as if he is concerned about the country and the people.Now his heart is also in a mess. First of all, he always feels that this trip to the north is unreliable. With a military purchase of 500 million US dollars, can Yan Laoxi give the Kuomintang this face?The face of the Kuomintang is too big, right?There is also my own younger sister, who just now was looking at Luo Yaoguo with her pouting lips and resentful eyes, but now she is commensurate with Luo's two Mrs.

"Brother Fuwen, I don't know if you're sure about going to the north this time?" Qu Ming lost his mind as soon as the words came out, and quickly added: "I mean buying arms." Uh, it's not my sister!

Luo Yaoguo turned his head, gave Qu Ming a blank look, and asked quietly, "Xie En, is this how you work underground now? Natalie, go out and get some air." After sending the female spy out to watch out, Luo Yaoguo finally lowered his head. Answer Qu Ming's question in a loud voice: "It's not easy for Yan Laoxi to manage Shanxi. Shanxi's tax revenue is not as good as that of Guangdong, Fujian, or even Hunan. So he will not refuse the 500 million US dollars sent to the door. He just knows that we have problems. He I will also turn a blind eye and close my eyes." Historically, Yan Xishan's arsenal has been selling weapons and ammunition to the Northwest warlords. Yan Xishan is also quite good at management and stingy. He is indeed a good businessman, but his war skills are more fashionable .

"Isn't he worried that we will attack him after we get the weapons?" Qu Ming immediately asked another question, and at the same time revealed the secret that shouldn't be revealed again.Mao Zedong has already proposed a battle plan to get through Suiyuan first and then seize Shanxi. Now the central government is discussing this matter.

Hearing Qu Ming's question, Luo Yaoguo was secretly taken aback.Although Mao Zedong's current tactical level is basically zero, his strategic vision is still very vicious. It seems that most of this ability comes from talent.When Luo Yaoguo formulated and promoted the new Northwest military plan, he never thought that the Communist Party could take such a move!If they give up Beijing and don't enter, and attack Shanxi with tens of thousands of troops and Feng Christ, using Yan Laoxi's fighting skills, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Shanxi is indeed a foundation of hegemony." Luo Yaoguo said calmly.

"You think so too?" No wonder Qu Ming didn't have any reputation in the original history. He turned out to be a worthless idiot. Suiyuan, after attacking Shanxi, threw Beijing to Fengzhang. We took Jinsui and connected Yanghucheng, Shaanxi, so we were invincible. However, most comrades in the International and the Central Committee disagreed."

Comintern?Well, the development of the Communist Party would not be so fast without them. However, if their brains were more shrewd, the Communist Party would not have so many twists and turns, right?No, it should not be that they are not smart enough, but that they dare not be smart.Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo nodded with a smile and said, "If your party went to talk to Yan Baichuan, I'm afraid he really wouldn't dare to sell you weapons, but it would be different if we came forward. Yan Baichuan is an old alliance member, and we The relationship with him has never been broken. And this person is good at calculating, knowing that our strength is not enough to rule the entire north, even if we have some force in the north, we still have to win over him, so Sean, when the time comes But don't miss out. It's best not to say anything, Yan Baichuan is very shrewd."

"I see." Qu Ming thought for a while and nodded in agreement.Before going north this time, Mao Zedong had already taken care of him. When meeting Yan Xishan, don’t talk nonsense, so as not to let this old fox hear something wrong. Now that the cooperation between Mr. Zhongshan and Soviet Russia has already become known to the whole country, it is impossible for the old fox not to doubt of.

Luo Yaoguo sighed softly and said, "Five million US dollars is also very important to Yan Laoxi. With this money, his steel plant can start work ahead of schedule, right?" The only good warlords are Fengzhang and Jinyan, but Fengzhang put the arsenal, steel factory, arsenal, and treasury under the bayonets of the Japanese, and did not send enough troops to protect them.In contrast, Yan Xishan is much more stable and shrewd.I don't know, will he lose his nest early this time because of Luo Yaoguo, a big butterfly?

Just when Luo Yaoguo was worrying blindly about whether to let the Communist Party enter Shanxi, the Communist International's instructions were sent to the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Beiguan, Guangzhou.

In the smoky conference room, the leading comrades of the Central Committee and Soviet advisers Borodin and Pavlov were "helping" the CCP's military leader Mao Zedong.

"Comrade Chairman Mao, your superficial theory is completely incomprehensible." General Pavlov now understands a little Chinese, but it's worse than not knowing it at all. He can't understand Mao Zedong's words at all. Those idioms: "Shanxi is just a barren province in China, and its owner, General Yan, seems completely harmless. If we enter Beijing and establish a Soviet, he will immediately agree. Why should we fight for this?" What about giving up the great opportunity to take control of Beijing because of the warlords of the Communist Party of China? According to the experience of the Soviet Russian Revolution, it is of great significance to seize a big city, especially the capital.”

Chapter 0061 Going North to Taiyuan ([-])

Mao Zedong took a deep puff of his cigarette, his brows were furrowed and he said nothing.Mao Zedong has never been optimistic about the plan to attack Beijing. His view is that Beijing is easy to enter and difficult to defend.Once the battle between Zhifeng and Fengcheng is inextricably fought, if [-] "red troops" attack the back of the Zhijun army from the direction of Suiyuan, it is very likely to enter Beijing, but the question is what to do after entering Beijing?At that time, Luo Wu will be in the south and Feng Zhang will be in the north. If Jin and Yan take the opportunity to seize Suiyuan again, the consequences will be unimaginable.Mao Zedong had repeatedly emphasized at the meeting the risks he would face after entering Beijing, and at the same time proposed a plan to attack Shanxi.Shanxi is connected to Suiyuan, and seizing Shanxi is a step-by-step development of revolutionary forces. Moreover, although the land in Shanxi is barren, there are many big landlords at the same time, and the class contradictions are relatively prominent, which is very conducive to the agrarian revolution.Even if you can't take the entire province of Shanxi, you can at least take a considerable amount of territory.

"Comrade Mao Zedong, how do you plan to develop after capturing half of Shanxi? At that time, Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin may still join forces to attack the new revolutionary regime. Can you rely on a barren mountainous area to resist the encirclement and suppression of warlords from the whole of northern China? If you can defeat the enemy in Shanxi, why can't you do the same thing in Beijing?" Comrade Borodin was basically a layman in military affairs, so the questions he asked were also layman's terms.

"Once we entered Beijing, we were tied up by the capital of China! We had to defend the capital, so tens of thousands of troops could only fight around Beijing. We were in a passive state. In Shanxi, we don’t have to worry about a certain mountain being captured by the enemy, we have plenty of room for maneuver, and we can use the support of the people and the complex terrain to deal with the enemy.” Mao Zedong waved his arms and proposed a very convincing proposition in his opinion reason.

"Comrade Chairman Mao, do you have no confidence in the revolutionary army? You must know that what we are building will be a real revolutionary army. With [-] troops like this, even if all the warlords in China come together to attack, they will definitely not be opponents." Ba Fu When General Love talked about the new Northwest Army in the future, his tone was full of pride: "After we enter Beijing, as long as we hold high the banner of revolution and mobilize the masses freely, the Chinese revolution will inevitably reach a climax. It will quickly expand to hundreds of thousands! How can a few Zhifeng warlords be our opponents?"

Mao Zedong was about to continue his argument when Ma Lin, a representative of the Communist International, suddenly pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in: "Comrades, the International's instructions have arrived, and I will read them to you:

The main tasks of the next stage of the Chinese revolution are national liberation and democratic revolution. The Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese working class should play a more important role in the Chinese revolution and strive for a more important position.Through the cooperation with the Kuomintang at this stage, we found that the Kuomintang did not really want to accept the transformation, and the center left in the Kuomintang did not actually hold the upper hand.Therefore, it is best for the next stage of revolutionary leadership to be in the hands of the working class itself. For this reason, the Communist International believes that it is necessary for the capital of China, Beijing, to be in the hands of the working class.

The Chinese Communist Party should not only form a new revolutionary army, but also seek and win allies from the old army in the north. It should not be limited to the Kuomintang army, but should also consider other warlords who tend to be revolutionary.The Communist Party of China should become the core leading force of the Chinese revolution, at least the core of the revolution in northern China. Therefore, the international community requires you to effectively strengthen propaganda and organizational work in northern China, actively seek out fellow travelers in the revolution, and actively carry out military and labor movements. Movement and the peasant movement, and make all necessary preparations for the arrival of the revolutionary climax.Eastern Bureau of the Communist International. "

After a bumpy few days of changing trains in Shaoguan, Luo Yaoguo and his party sat in a luxurious box on the train again in Zhuzhou.Two days later, the train finally left Huguang, which is covered with water networks, and entered a vast plain that stretches as far as the eye can see.This piece of land is called "Central Plains".

"It's a vast plain. It's golden, maybe it's ripe ears of wheat?" Luo Yaoguo had seen this kind of scene in the United States in his previous life, and it was the first time he saw it in his own motherland.

"These crops don't seem to be growing well." Luo Yaoguo muttered softly.These wheats look far worse than those seen in the United States in the previous life. The short and thin ones seem to be malnourished, er, a bit like Hu Zongnan.

"Huh, you young master, you have never planted land. The crops here are not good? It seems that this year is going to have a bumper harvest." Qu Ying's voice was a little cheerful. As the daughter of a small landlord in a rural area in northern China, she It is knowledgeable about agriculture.If the fields at home have this kind of growth, there will definitely be pork dumplings to eat during the Chinese New Year.I don't know how the crops in my hometown are growing this year?Are mom and dad in good health?Thinking of this, those big talking eyes became a little moist again.

"Harvest?" Luo Yaoguo was speechless looking at the large expanse of malnourished wheat. He had never planted land before, but that doesn't mean he had never seen a good harvest? "I understand that China's poverty is not only due to the weak industry, but also the underdeveloped agriculture. It seems that it is not easy to cultivate this field well." Luo Yaoguo's words seemed to contain some kind of cunning.

"The main reason why China's agriculture is weak is that the majority of farmers do not have their own land, so their enthusiasm for labor has not been fully exerted." Qu Ming listened to the conversation between his sister and Luo Yaoguo, and found that it was not because of love and finally let go. He started to give Luo Yaoguo political lessons: "The problem of the working class is the same. They do not work for themselves, but for the capitalists, so their enthusiasm for work has not been fully mobilized. The only way to change this situation is to let go and mobilize the masses……"

China's rural problems are indeed very troublesome. Qu Ming's method is obviously impossible to bring prosperity to the countryside. The poverty in the countryside is not due to the lack of enthusiasm of the farmers. Chinese farmers should be the most industrious group of people in the world.Looking at the large farmland outside the car window, Luo Yaoguo remembered the report of the Guangdong Provincial Government a few days ago. The population of Guangdong Province was originally estimated at 3000 million. With a population of more than 3500 million, I am afraid that the total population of the whole country will far exceed the original estimate, right?Maybe there are more than 5 million people, the vast majority of whom are farmers, and how much arable land is there?About one billion mu?On average, each farmer is no more than 3 mu!With the level of agricultural technology in the 20s, how much output can 3 mu of land produce?Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo also feels that there is nothing to hope for. It seems that it is very difficult for him to see that Chinese farmers will be rich in his life.

"One is to develop industry and increase the level of urbanization. The second is to need more fertilizers, which also involves industrial investment. It seems that a stable social environment is still needed to make China's rural areas richer." Luo Yaoguo also added There was a way that he didn't say. He looked to the southwest, where is the land of Britain and France now?They seem to have a lot of land.

After hearing Luo Yaoguo's answer, Qu Ming shook his head regretfully, and did not continue to argue.This is the fundamental difference between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The Kuomintang represents the old and backward production relations, while the Communist Party represents the new and progressive production relations.In the final analysis, the Kuomintang wants to maintain the private system and make limited improvements on this basis.The Communist Party, on the other hand, wants to completely smash the old world and rebuild a paradise belonging to all mankind on the ruins of the old world. All the old production systems and production relations systems will be eliminated, so the stubborn forces that move against the trend will surely To be ruthlessly wiped out!

For a while, there was complete silence in the private room, and after a while, the chubby Wu Ziliang found a new topic: "Third Brother, the Yan Baichuan we are going to meet this time has a very good reputation among the common people."

"Brother, I also heard good things from the adults in my hometown about Yan Dujun in Shanxi. It seems that this warlord is somewhat different from other warlords." Qu Ying's ideological awareness does not seem to be high, and she takes the gossip from her hometown as facts .
