Republic of China game

However, this current intention has obviously failed. The current system of the National Revolutionary Army refers to the army of imperialist countries.General officers have been turned into managers rather than owners, and the power of the military has been concentrated in several key departments such as the Military Commission, the Ministry of War, and the General Staff.Ordinary division commanders have no personnel power, financial power, troop mobilization power, logistics management power, and even ammunition management is firmly controlled by the Joint Logistics Command directly under the General Staff and the Ministry of the Army.These generals who directly lead the troops have limited powers, and the various departments of the Military Commission that hold great power do not directly lead troops. Several aspects check each other, and the final military power is firmly controlled by the Military Commission.

Hearing Zhou Enlai's words, Luo Yaoguo sneered. It seemed that the Communist Party did not want the KMT leftists to compete with them for territory.

Luo Yaoguo picked up his teacup, took a sip, and sighed, "These leftist comrades in our party are really too close to Soviet Russia."

This statement is somewhat mysterious, as if to imply that the leftists of the Kuomintang also have direct ties with the Soviet Union, and how would the Soviet Union view the emergence of pro-Soviet leftists of the Kuomintang within the Fengjun?The Soviet Union is now "socialism in one country", which means that they have taken a step back from the "world revolution".Will Stalin give up on this opportunity to contain the Japanese forces in China to ensure the security of the Soviet Far East?

Thinking of this level, Zhou Enlai sighed softly, and replied: "Okay, I will report your conditions to the Central Committee." Of course, report to the Third International.

……

In the Moscow Kremlin, the center of the world revolution, the new great leader Stalin let out a long breath after receiving the telegram from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China delivered by the Third International.Because the Japanese army and the Feng army mixed troops appeared on the Chahar battlefield, Stalin had endured tremendous pressure from the party and the Red Army in the past two days, especially those Trotskyists who were unwilling to fail.Regardless of the current great difficulties of the Soviet Union, these guys strongly demanded to send troops to support the CCP to fight against Japanese imperialism.But have these guys thought about it?Who can tell that those Japanese are not Chinese when they wear Fengjun's clothes?They all have the same yellow skin and black hair. Can the Soviet Red Army do such a thing?Let you Trotsky put on a Chinese robe and say that you are Chinese, does anyone believe it?

Now the solution of the left wing of the Kuomintang just came out of Stalin's siege.The leftists of the Kuomintang have already obtained opportunities for development within the Fengjun.Obviously, this is a very rare opportunity. If the pro-Soviet Kuomintang leftists can develop a pro-Soviet faction within the Fengjun to fight against the pro-Japanese faction in the Fengjun, no matter what the result is, Little Japan will definitely be in a hurry for a while.In this way, the Soviet Union can obtain an external environment for stable development.More importantly, with this card, "socialism in one country" can steadily overwhelm "world revolution", and a plot by the Trotskyites will fail again.

The Soviet Union and the Third International did not keep Luo Yaoguo waiting for a long time. The current situation is extremely critical. If there is a delay, how many brave Red Army soldiers will have to sacrifice their lives.After a hasty discussion with Kamenev, Zinoviev and others, Stalin ordered the Third International to instruct the CCP and the leftists of the Kuomintang to establish a united front, accept the plan of the leftists of the Kuomintang, go to Suiyuan to open up the Soviet area, and send the Chakha Of course, the plan to transform the leftists of the Kuomintang and make them more left will continue to be carried out.

Chapter 0147

The trip to Chahar went smoothly, except that Qu Ying did not find her brother.I heard that her elder brother Qu Ming was sent to lead the workers' picket team, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and he probably disappeared.Uh, revolution always requires sacrifices!Probably because she couldn't bear her friend's sister to stay alone beside the pervert.Zhou Enlai left Qu Ying in the Secretariat of the Ministry of Military Affairs and arranged for her to work with Deng Xiaoping.Zhou Enlai also pretended not to know about her serious mistake of spending a night at the American Legation, and just turned over it.

……

The first-class place to go in Yanqing County is Qingxiang Building, a three-story building, magnificently decorated, a signboard with gold letters on a black background, and the three big characters "Qingxiang Building" written in gold powder, it is said that this is a former dynasty. The handwriting of a Hanlin master adds a bit of elegance to this place.On weekdays, the people who come in and out here are all prominent figures in Yanqing County, or wealthy businessmen who come and go from north to south.

Today, the entire third floor and the first floor are covered up. Several soldiers in khaki military uniforms are standing at the top of the stairs, each with a German-made Mauser on their waists. You can tell from this posture that it is The chiefs of the 21st Division of the Fengjun Army who had just entered the county had reserved this place to entertain distinguished guests.

The Tianzihao lounge on the third floor is already full of soldiers wearing various military uniforms, and the table is full of wine and meat. Not to mention delicacies and wines, there are only big pieces of meat and big bowls of wine, which looks a bit like It is the heroes of the green forest who gather here.This is Hu Jingyi, the commander of the 21st Division of the Fengjun Army, and Deng Yanda, the deputy commander of the division, entertaining Luo Yaoguo who just returned from Huailai and passed by Yanqing.

"There is nothing good in this small county of Yanqing, so we have to gather some wine and meat to entertain elegant guests. General Fuwen is no wonder." Hu Jingyi greeted Luo Yaoguo first with a smile on his face.

In fact, there are indeed no delicacies, delicacies, wines and fine wines in Yanqing County.During this period of time, the peasant association in Yanqing County was in great trouble, and the rich ones either ran away or disappeared.Even the owner of this Qingxianglou is gone, and now there are a few old folks in Qingxianglou who are in charge of this place, and they casually get some vulgar meat to entertain the soldiers of the 21st Division, earning a few hard expenses .

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. General Lao Li is bothering you. In fact, this big bowl of wine has a special taste with a big piece of meat." Luo Yaoguo took a sip of Erguotou and sighed repeatedly.

Hu Jingyi sighed, and said: "What good things can there be in this turmoil? If we enter the territory of Chahar, I'm afraid we won't even be able to find these. I don't know how our 21st Division will live in the future."

"Yes, the 21st Division now has six brigades with more than 3 brothers. It is difficult to lose 50 oceans a month." Deng Yanda took Hu Jingyi's words and said: "Fuwen, can you help us think of a way? Raise some money?"

If you are not in charge, you don’t know the cost of firewood and rice. It’s not enough for a 50 army to pay the army for a month and eat [-] oceans. If the army needs to train and fight, then you have to count the expenses of ammunition consumption, marching and fighting, etc. In short, the army One move is golden ten thousand taels.If it is in a rich place, there will naturally be thousands of taels of gold scraped in from the land, but in the current situation in Chahar, there is no source of income. Hu Jingyi and Deng Yanda have a hard time thinking about it. help.

Luo Yaoguo was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked back, "Won't the Fengjun side provide any funding?"

"Feng Jun can't even take care of his own people now." Hu Jingyi shook his head and sighed: "I heard that Wang Yongjiang was so anxious that his hair turned gray, and he asked Marshal Zhang to resign every day, and he can't even be the leader of the Feng family. down."

"How do you say that?" Hearing Hu Jingyi's words, Luo Yaoguo was extremely surprised: "Is this Fengjun so strong in foreign affairs?"

"It's more than just being strong outside, I'm afraid it's hollow." Deng Yanda sighed slightly: "You can figure out the supplementary text casually. Since the Fengjun was defeated by Wu Ziyu in the pass in the 11th year of the Republic of China, they have been constantly How much income can they earn from their three provinces by expanding their armies and preparing for war? After the Zhifeng war, although the Fengjun won, but their own consumption was also very large. After entering the customs, they recruited a large number of troops. 40! In this way, the salary alone will cost at least [-] million oceans every year!"

Luo Yaoguo was puzzled, "Then what are they relying on to maintain the situation?"

"What else can I rely on? Printing banknotes!" Hu Jingyi looked worried: "After the Zhifeng war, Wu Peifu's Henan Provincial Bank went bankrupt, and all the banknotes issued became waste paper. I think the official bank of the three eastern provinces It’s not too far from that day.”

Deng Yanda looked at Luo Yaoguo solemnly and said: "The funds they send us now are all in the form of votes, and the value of the votes has begun to decline. And when we take Chahar, we will probably have to raise the military expenses ourselves." .”

It turned out that these two were worried about money. It was not easy to feed [-] troops in a poor place like Chahar. Zhangjiakou in Chahar was a bit fatter, but not much fatter.In the past, it was the main trade route between the mainland and Mongolia. Now that Mongolia is controlled by Soviet Russia, where can there be business?

Luo Yaoguo smacked Erguotou, smiled slightly, and said, "There must be some land tax in Chahar, right? The Communist Party has carried out land reform in Chahar. I have a suggestion, I wonder if the two elder brothers want to hear it?"

"Please advise." Hu Jingyi kept smiling, looked at Luo Yaoguo and said, "Zesheng and I just listen carefully."

"If the land is divided, it will be divided, and there is no need to restore it. You can accept as much land tax as the Communist Party has set. As long as their cadres are willing to work for you, they can be hired at their own discretion. This is also cooperation between the two parties!" Luo Yaoguo pondered for a while, and then said : "The Communist Party carried out land reform and removed the link of landlords from the distribution. In this way, the proportion of public grain must be higher than that of land tax. General Zesheng, don't you think so?"

Deng Yanda nodded with a smile and said, "That's what I meant too, brother Liseng, did you hear that? Even the auxiliary text suggested that we do this. Anyway, the Communist Party has already laid down the rules, and we Xiao Guicao can do whatever we want. However, this way There is still a big gap, our army can’t live like the Communist Party, and Chahar can’t afford to support [-] troops in any way, so you have to give us some subsidies.”

"Do we want to use their people?" Hu Jingyi shook his head: "Aren't you afraid that they are in Cao Ying and their hearts are in Han?"

Luo Yaoguo twirled the wine glass in his hand, and said leisurely: "If you don't need them to push these people to the opposite side, they are still in Han's heart. If you use them, they are at least in Cao Ying. As for how to grasp their hearts, it depends on you." The two of you are capable, you can discuss this issue, I am inconvenient to take care of it. As for the money issue, you can’t rely on me. What I can use is the special funds of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Your subsidy of 10 yuan will be enough. However, I have a way to help you find money, I wonder if you two want to hear it?"

Hearing that Luo Yaoguo had a solution, Deng Yanda had an ugly smile on his bitter face, and he said with a smile, "Luo Fuwen, how come you have learned how to be tricky? Tell me if you have any solution!"

"Aren't you leftists?" Luo Yaoguo said with a smile: "Should the leftists of the Kuomintang want to join forces with Russia and the Communist Party? Why don't you use the brains of Russia and the Communist Party if you want some money?"

"That's all?" Deng Yanda's smiling face immediately disappeared: "I won't mention the Communist Party, what kind of money do they have? The Soviet Union has money, but is their money easy to get?"

Luo Yaoguo shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Zesheng is really impatient, I haven't finished my words yet. Who told you to find someone to beg for food? We asked you to 'help' the Communist Party and Soviet Russia. The Communist Party will soon occupy After leaving Suiyuan, Soviet Russia controlled Mongolia. With the addition of Chahar in your hands, almost all of Mongolia is there except for Hulunbuir. Now their Mongolians have tea, salt, spices, cloth, and their officials Where do the luxury goods they want to enjoy come from? How do they sell their horses and fur goods? If you leftists want to unite with Russia and the Communist Party, should you take practical actions to help the Communist Party and the Mongolian people? This business is between us and Mongolia People have been doing it for hundreds of years, and those rich men in Shanxi are making a lot of money besides working as bank accounts. They must be making a lot of money, right? How about this, I will invest 100 million with the money from the Intelligence Bureau, and you don’t have to pay a penny to take [-]% of it. Shares, specializing in the trade of Montenegro, and the goods that come in will be sold by the Pacific Trading Company jointly established by us and the Feng family. What do you two think of this idea?"

Deng Yanda was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Brother Liseng, am I right? Our Comrade Fuwen must have a solution. If we can take down the foreign trade, let alone [-] soldiers, it will be [-] We can afford it too!"

Hehe, if this foreign trade can be won, it will basically be a monopoly!And it’s still private versus public. No matter how leftist the leftists are, many of them are capitalists. No matter how powerful the Communist Party and Soviet Russia are, they are also public ownership. How can capitalists not make money doing business with public ownership?

Chapter 0148 Returning to Beijing

When they entered Beijing again, the streets of Sijiu City had returned to their former bustle.The Feng soldiers patrolling with rifles on their shoulders disappeared, replaced by patrolmen in yellow uniforms. I don't know how the Feng army found them back in just a few days?

This trip to Beijing was finally considered complete, and all aspects were fooled.The relationship between Soviet Russia and the Kuomintang can still be maintained lukewarm, and the Union Communist Party with the Communist Party has also risen to a new height, and even the relationship with the reactionary warlord Fengxi is not bad.No, as soon as Luo Yaoguo returned to Beijing, Zhang Xueliang invited Liao Zhongkai and Luo Yaoguo to drink tea at Jurentang.

In the luxurious living room of Ju Ren Tang, Liao Zhongkai, Luo Yaoguo, Zhang Xueliang, and Yang Yuting sat down separately. The servants brought top-grade Longjing, and everyone continued to do behind-the-scenes transactions while drinking tea.The subject of the transaction was still the chair in the Golden Luan Hall. Cao Kun and Feng Yuxiang had already paid a heavy price for this chair, and now it was Zhang Zuolin's turn.Zhang Zuolin now wants to take the top spot in China, the sooner the better, he can't wait for Duan Qirui to make the transition, so he hopes that the Kuomintang can support it.

After quietly listening to Feng's conditions, Luo Yaoguo took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "We can support Yushuai as the chairman of the coalition government. But we also have conditions. We hope that you will not be on the land where the north and the south meet. Set up customs duties at trade ports."

Since the establishment of an independent customs area in the south, all goods from the north entering the south must pay customs duties.Therefore, many people in the north also propose to levy taxes on southern products entering the northern market.Of course, this was intolerable to the Kuomintang that ruled the south, so they sent a telegram to the Kuomintang delegation in Beijing, asking them to try to stop it.

"That's all?" Yang Yuting was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled: "This is no problem, but we lose a lot of tax revenue every year. Now our finances are very tight." Feng Xi originally thought that the Kuomintang would propose some parliamentary elections , Formulate conditions such as the constitution, just like how they dealt with Yuan Datou back then, I didn't expect these Kuomintang to really fall into the eyes of money now.

"Subsidize you with 1000 million French currency every year. In the future, you will not be able to charge tariffs on goods from the [-] southern provinces (districts), nor will you interfere with our rule in these areas." Luo Yaoguo didn't bother much, and immediately quoted the price from the Kuomintang.

Yang Yuting didn't expect the other party to be so forthright, so he wanted to increase the price again, but before he could speak, the young master Zhang Xueliang agreed in a big way: "Okay, it's settled like this, and the two of us will share the world equally in the future. gone."

Zhang Xueliang is not in charge of the family now, so he naturally doesn't know how difficult the Feng Department's finances are. He is naturally very satisfied with the 1000 million yuan a year that he picked up for nothing at the time.

"Yes, we will divide the world equally." Luo Yaoguo said in his heart that you should sit in this furnace slowly in Beijing, and we will clean up you after we finish the heavy industry. I hope you will still be there by then.

Zhang Xueliang smiled and looked at Liao Zhongkai: "Father Marshal hopes that Mr. Liao can join our government, which can be regarded as a symbol of our alliance with the Kuomintang. As for whether it is a minister or a deputy prime minister, it depends on what Mr. Liao wants."

"In addition, we can also give the Kuomintang several ministerial positions, which can be regarded as our sincerity to the coalition government." Yang Yuting added on the side.Zhang Zuolin is well aware of the current strength of the Kuomintang. If he wants to secure his position in Beijing, there are two people who cannot be offended. One is the Kuomintang, and the other is the Japanese.Therefore, Zhang Zuolin wanted to try his best to win over both parties, as a help.

Liao Zhongkai nodded and answered: "Then Liao will be the vice premier? But Liao has little talent and learning, that is, he can be an official who can eat vegetarian meals. At that time, the young commander should not say that Liao Zhongkai can't work and get paid for nothing."

"There is also the arrangement of Shaanxi Province. We would like to seek your party's opinion." Yang Yuting smiled slightly: "Liu Zhenhua in Shaanxi's violent expropriation and poisoning of the people has long been hated by the Shaanxi people. Our commander hopes to resign from his post and let Zhang Zhijiang Served as the Governor of Shaanxi, Liu Yufen as the Governor of Shaanxi, Song Zheyuan as the Supervisor of Qingxiang in Shaanxi, Lu Zhonglin as the Supervisor of the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Defense, and Yang Huchen as the Guardian of Southern Shaanxi."

"Okay, we support this arrangement." Luo Yaoguo directly supported this proposal without hesitation.

This arrangement by the Feng Faction kicked the troops loyal to Feng Yuxiang to Shaanxi from the side of their couch.At the same time, Liu Zhenhua and Wu Xintian who supported Wu Peifu were also removed, and the territory of the direct line was limited to Henan province.In the end, he also used the guardian envoy of southern Shaanxi to tie up with the Kuomintang, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.

This time, the Kuomintang and the Feng faction formed an alliance and jointly oppressed the Zhi and Anhui factions caught between them.First supported Zhang Zuolin to gain the central government, and then removed Liu Zhenhua and Wu Xintian from Wu Peifu's head.Moreover, the inaugural Zhang Zhijiang and other ministries had to pass through Wu Peifu's Henan province. This humiliation may be something Wu Peifu will never forget in his life. It seems that the hidden danger of a new round of warlords in the north has been buried.But all this is not what Luo Yaoguo and Liao Zhongkai are going to consider now.
