Siheyuan: Married a female spy at the beginning of 1944

Cui Jianchu’s idea was very simple: he must not surrender to the Eighth Route Army no matter what.

"Miyauchi-kun, I would like to ask you, how does the Empire view the Eighth Route Army and the National Government?"

After hearing this question, Miyauchi thought about it for a while and said

"The Nationalist government is a target for negotiation and cooperation, but the Eighth Route Army must be eliminated."

The Japanese conducted in-depth research on the Eighth Route Army.

This also led to them adopting completely different attitudes towards the Eighth Route Army and the National Army.

They captured Eighth Route Army spies, and those who could not be persuaded to surrender were basically killed or imprisoned in concentration camps.

As for the Kuomintang's spies, they either have to cooperate or be detained normally.

As for military strategy, they always felt that the Eighth Route Army and the Soviet Union were in the same situation.

If the Eighth Route Army becomes the leader of China, then China will surely rise strongly.

This is a huge threat to Japan.

Therefore, if the Japanese high-ranking officials such as Miyauchi were asked to choose the target of surrender, they would definitely give priority to the National Government.

After all, there were a large number of pro-Japanese elements in the Kuomintang government, and they were treated as VIPs after surrendering.

After hearing what was said in the palace, Cui Jianchu felt relieved.

"Miyauchi-kun, I think we can now invite the national army to enter Beiping City."

"What did you say? Do you know what you are saying?"

When Gong Nei heard what Cui Jianchu said, he became a little anxious.

Although they had considered surrendering, he still wanted to delay and see how the situation developed.

Cui Jianchu signaled everyone in the palace to stay calm.

"Miyane-kun, I have a reason for saying this.

We are now surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and our situation is getting worse day by day.

If we don’t think of a solution, Beiping will fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army sooner or later.”

When Gong Nei heard Cui Jianchu's nonsense, he interrupted and said

"But we can't let the Kuomintang soldiers enter Peking. Wouldn't that be the same as handing Peking over to the Kuomintang?"

The palace looked down upon the national government.

He was willing to cooperate with the Kuomintang government because they were useless, not because he valued heroes.

Now, he was asked to surrender to the National Government. He subconsciously felt some resistance, but he also understood rationally that this choice was definitely better than surrendering to the Eighth Route Army.

"Miyanechi-kun, don't be impatient, let me analyze it for you slowly.

If we invite the National Government’s troops to enter Peking, firstly, the Eighth Route Army will have no reason to attack Peking.

You have to know that the Eighth Route Army is now nominally under the control of the Government.

Second, according to the capabilities of the Nationalist government’s army, even if they enter Peking, they will not be able to completely control Peking. At that time, we can divide Peking equally with the Nationalist government.

Third, if the situation changes suddenly, we can directly wipe out the Kuomintang troops that have entered the city.

Given the strength of the National Government, they simply couldn't stop it.

Fourth, inviting the Nationalist government’s troops to station here is definitely not an invitation in vain. We want the Nationalist government to clear the way for us to return to Manchuria, and at the same time give us the minimum living supplies. "

After listening to Cui Jianchu's words, the palace invited the national government's troops to move in, which was a brilliant move.

"Yes, yes, but will they give us supplies? Will they let us retreat to Manchuria?"

Cui Jianchu knew the situation in the national government much better than the palace.

"Don't worry, the focus of the National Government has now shifted from fighting the Empire to fighting the Eighth Route Army.

If they don't take over Beiping, then the city will be given to the Eighth Route Army.

I think even if our demands were more extreme, they would have agreed.”

The more Miyauchi thought about it, the better this idea seemed to him.

It does not mean handing over the entire Beijing to the National Government.

This does not count as surrender, it can only be seen as a stopgap measure when they cannot get help from the military.

Even the military would not blame them.

He discussed it with Cui Jianchu for an entire night, and then went to find Sifang Lianger early the next morning.

Just as Cui Jianchu and the palace were discussing how to invite the national government to move into Beijing, Zhang Qingyu also arrived at the Tan Mansion.

"Ms. Tan, long time no see."

People of Zhang Qingyu's status would occasionally invite friends to the Tan Mansion to eat Tan's cuisine.

So he was no stranger to Tanya.

"Captain Zhang, please take a seat."

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Zhang Qingyu apologized for occupying the Tan Mansion.

"Ms. Tan, as you know, we used to work under the Japanese.

So, when He Daqing rebelled, I was greatly affected.

You were also affected, but considering the friendship between us, we directly occupied your house.

It's just to wait for the situation to change one day and return it to you when you come back.

As you can see, this place is almost the same as when you left."

Tanya did not comment on Zhang Qingyu's words.

She didn't pursue this matter.

"Captain Zhang, let's not mince words. I think you probably know the purpose of my visit to Peking this time."

Zhang Qingyu: "Yes. Clear, clear."

Tanya continued

“Now that you are clear, you should know our policy. As long as you haven’t made any big mistakes, we will give you a chance to correct them.

Moreover, many of your subordinates have now become members of our revolutionary team."

Many of Zhang Qingyu and other puppet soldiers were guilty of heinous crimes.

Even when soldiers surrender, they will be examined.

The Eighth Route Army did not recruit into its ranks those soldiers who had murdered civilians.

Some were executed on the spot, while others were sent to labor camps.

As for officials like Zhang Qingyu, most of them need to be re-educated.

If they had just gone with the flow and not actively become traitors, these people could still have had a good ending.

If they were actively traitors, they would persecute their own people in order to please the Japanese.

Then these people must be punished.

"Yes, I know, I know, Miss Tan, I heard that He Daqing is now the commander of the division?"

When Zhang Qingyu mentioned He Daqing, he mainly wanted to express that He Daqing was once his subordinate.

Since He Daqing is already a division commander, if I go there, I might also be able to get a position of some official rank.

Zhang Qingyu felt that he had a good relationship with He Daqing.

The main reason was that when He Daqing rebelled, the Japanese found out about him.

The Japanese also interrogated him.

Punishment was also imposed.

He felt that he was implicated by He Daqing and that He Daqing owed him something.

So he thought he could mention He Daqing and, through He Daqing's connections, get himself a position in the Eighth Route Army.

"Well, He Daqing is indeed the division commander. We in the Eighth Route Army don't look at background, we only look at ability and politics. If you support our policies, you will definitely have a place in our team."

Tanya had already learned about it before she came.

Zhang Qingyu and his men are not the target that they must strive for now.

There were only a hundred or so people left in the puppet army, and they were of no use to the overall situation.
