Chapter 397: Xi'an Still Incident
The so-called mediation of countries is actually a pretext. In order to express their existence, Britain, the United States, France and Imperiality raised serious concerns in a fake manner, and diplomatic envoys made remarks to urge peace. In fact, in terms of true intentions, they hope that China and Japan will fight in a mess and cannot get a divorce!
If it were a few years ago, the Japanese launched such a brazen war, Britain, the United States, France and Ideological did not agree with it, because they judged that China had no ability to resist and was easily defeated or even occupied by the Japanese. At that time, Japan, which was so powerful that it could not be restricted, would become the overlord of the Far East. It would not only steal their interests here, but also launch challenges to the West. This is a situation that would never be allowed to occur.
Now, after being tossed by Zhu Bin for five years, China's strong foundation is bursting with amazing strength. Science and technology is developing rapidly, the industrial foundation is basically consolidated, and the light, heavy industry and agricultural industries have formed a complementary system. With a few years of buffering, we can enter a virtuous cycle. Last year and this year, China's industrial output value has almost doubled, and there is no sign of a brake in such a momentum. If China's huge region and population continue to do so, there is no problem in increasing its national strength tenfold, and just driving domestic demand can ensure positive growth for decades without overproduction.
China, which shows just a little sign of revival, has the capital to fight against Japan. In particular, a series of actions by activist Zhu Bin greatly restrained Japan's military development. If the two countries continue to fight internally, they will only completely consume the originally not much vitality. In this way, after the Western world emerges from the shadow of the economic crisis and eliminates the threat of Germany's rise, they will be much more calm when they get rid of it.
With such an idea, Britain, France and other countries seemed to be very enthusiastic, but their strength was not very good. But unexpectedly, they were just acting as a dissuasion, and China and Japan actually agreed to a ceasefire immediately!
Such a drastic change almost broke the waists of envoys from various countries. It has always been difficult for Zhu Bin and the Japanese to talk to each other. What's wrong today? It makes sense at once?
Oh. Maybe it was the Japanese who continued their previous tricks, fake ceasefire and really increased their troops... that would be more normal.
Britain, France, the United States and Italy were still so suspicious, but unexpectedly, in the afternoon of the same day, the Japanese Consul in Nanjing, Yoshiro Sumama, sat with Foreign Minister Chen Qun and began to negotiate a ceasefire agreement seriously. After the round, the tank regiment of Zhu Bin also made generous moves away, allowing the surrounded Japanese Second Regiment and Artillery Corps to withdraw to Tianjin overnight; the ships stopped at sea were also able to return to North Korea, and everything seemed to be about to disappear.
At the same time, Zhu Bin's representative also made a sincere speech. He said that the conflict was a misunderstanding caused by poor prior communication between China and Japan and the unexpected collision during the exercise. Now that Japan recognizes the problem and actively seeks a peaceful resolution, it is a blessing for the people of China and Japan.
When Jiang Jiang and Song Zheyuan and other directly related personnel saw this statement, they immediately turned dark and thought that Zhu Hanchen's political methods were becoming more and more proficient! The ability to talk nonsense was getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid it would be even harder to deal with in the future!
But the two of them had no choice but to pinch their noses and express their welcome attitude publicly. Especially Chiang Kai-shek had to take the initiative to take over the negotiations with Japan. After all, he and the Central Government represent the country! North China is still China's territory after all! Such a thing happened. If Zhu Bin or Song Zheyuan went to negotiate by himself, where would his Central Government face be put!
But negotiating with the Japanese has never been a good job, which is also recognized. Minister Chen Qun was so aggrieved that he almost cried bitterly. Maybe he would be set up as a pillar of shame in history, and he was trembling as if walking on thin ice!
Fortunately, the overall attitude in China has become increasingly tougher recently. Chiang Kai-shek is rude to the Japanese. There is also Zhu Bin's in the north. Chen Qun's back is much harder than Huang Hui three years ago and He Yingqin last year. He is endlessly speaking like Sumama Yoshiro pushes and saws, but he is full of confidence.
The only drawback is that Chiang Kai-shek is thinking about his 50th birthday at the end of next month and must create a scene of peace and peace in the world. Therefore, the negotiations must be completed before that. This will increase the difficulty.
The Japanese suffered a great loss this time, and the casualties were more than twice as many as the battle in Shanghai in January 2012. They couldn't get out of their bad luck, so they naturally wanted to compete for diplomacy. Chen Qun had to make a little compromise. Both sides had their own ulterior motives, and representatives of the countries made bad things in the middle. As a result, the results of the negotiations a few days later were disappointing!
Since it is a friction caused by "misunderstanding", no party will be held accountable, and naturally there is no need to compensate for the losses. But Japan suffered a great loss after all. In order to ensure its interests and safety in China, the number of troops stationed in Pingjin would increase to 10,000 again and officially enter Fengtai. In addition, North China and Japan are allowed to open air, with a total of four lines: (1) Tianjin Dalian, (2) Peking Jinzhou, (3) Tianjin Chengde, (4) Tianjin Zhangbei.
Several policies proposed by the other Japanese, such as: the Yangtze River station, the revision of textbooks, the autonomy of the five North China provinces, the Sino-Japanese economic cooperation, the reduction of tariffs, the employment of Japanese consultants as much as possible, and the decision to completely abolish the Japanese scheming, and the decision to send additional navies to China, were all resisted by Zhang Qun with a tit-for-tat request. Five requirements were put forward: (1) Abolishing the Tanggu and Shanghai Agreement and the texts that were coerced since the 8th, (2) Abolishing the pseudo-organization of Hebei East, (3) Abolishing the smuggling, (4) Japanese troops and Japanese aircraft in North China are not allowed to operate arbitrarily, and (5) Suidong suppression of bandits.
It can be said that Zhang Qun is the hardest diplomatic person to Japan in recent years. He has never agreed to any blackmail clause since this year. As a loyal lackey and a melody of Chiang Kai-shek, he basically represents Chiang Kai-shek's true intention. Just as the Chairman's intention to cheer up and achieve great achievements that have never been seen before, it is a glorious.
The conflict broke out so quickly and was so easy to deal with, which made all parties stunned, and their intuition became increasingly difficult to understand the changing situation. But those who understand knew it were all illusions and could not last much time at all.
Zhu Bin, who took advantage of the situation, once again made a big splash, and the national popularity rose. As the first great man in recent years to force Japan to end the war and succeed. His reputation rose again for a while. If it weren't for the fact that Chiang Kai-shek was being held by most people in the country as the future emperor, he would have seen people reach the forefront.
Afterwards, Wang Zhangtang's tank regiment officially entered Fengtai in an open manner, and still fought against the Japanese army. Except for the camps of both sides being blown up by cannons, nothing seemed to have happened.
Half a month later, a regiment of Shang Zhen arrived late, and the three-way "military exercises" finally officially began. However, no one could see that they were absent-minded. They were inevitably prepared for war with the Japanese at any time. At that time, it was not the small fight now.
On October 31, Chairman Jiang's fiftieth birthday was on. The whole country celebrated the birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi. The whole country celebrated warmly. Nanjing also held a ceremony for airplanes from all walks of life. A total of 100 fighter jets were donated. Half of them were produced in China, while the other half was imported goods. They even knew it was expensive. Because of the reason... I understand this.
On that day, Chairman Jiang delivered a speech on his fiftieth birthday - serving the country and missing his relatives, hoping that the people of the country will regard themselves as being alone. They will encourage themselves with sincerity, unite together, strive to strengthen themselves, and serve the country with loyalty to revive the nation. With one breath, this will continue to encourage themselves unremittingly.
Yan Xishan, Xu Yongchang, Fu Zuoyi, Zhang Xueliang, Liu Zhi, Shang Zhen and others all went to Luoyang to celebrate Chairman Chiang's birthday. Zhu Bin and Song Zheyuan had a ghost in their hearts and were not very cold to Chiang, so they each sent representatives to congratulate him with great profits. In addition, there was a reason for them to avoid it. After the birthday party, Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang joined forces to ask Chiang to "stop suppressing bandits and unite to the outside world", which made the Chairman's boss unhappy.
"Zhang Hanqing's mentality is unstable and is easily influenced by bandits. I'm afraid it will ruin my big deal!" Afterwards, Lao Jiang said this to his subordinates with a gloomy face, and then ordered people to pay close attention to the actions of Xiao Zhang and Yan Laoxi, and give them back at any time.
In December, Zhang Xueliang's attitude towards Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "restoring the country first" became clearer, and even publicly publicized that "the chairman has no problem with patriotism, but the method is wrong." Chiang Kai-shek was very dissatisfied with this. On the 7th, he flew to Xi'an and issued an ultimatum: "Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's second divisions will either send out immediate suppression of bandits or be transferred to Anhui, Fujian."
Naturally, he refused to agree to such a mess. Yang Hucheng slapped the table at that time: "Cheng Chiang treats us like this and cannot sit still and wait for death. If it really doesn't work, he will deal with him!"
Such murderous intent was naturally unconcealed by Lao Chiang's subordinates. After Chen Cheng learned about it, he advised Lao Chiang to leave here quickly to prevent changes. Lao Chiang waved his hand: "They dare not do so!" This birthday made him feel illusioned that he was the Lord Cixi who held the power of the world. Who dared to have a disrespectful thought? That was to kill the nine clans.
He was too arrogant, but he didn't expect that he really did not have the control ability of Cixi's old ladies. On December 12, Zhang Yang and the others who were scolded and even wanted to seize power for several days finally launched a mutiny, detaining Chiang and his group, and then telegrams across the country, demanding that "reorganize the government, accommodate all parties and factions, stop all civil wars, release the patriotic leaders arrested in Shanghai, release all political prisoners, open up the patriotic movement of the people, and protect all political freedoms of the people. They do so, and do so, and follow Premier Sun's will, and immediately convene a national rescue meeting to make the final advice to Chairman Chiang."
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and all the minds sent telegrams to persuade Zhang Xueliang to stop and release Chairman Chiang quickly to avoid irreversible chaos. Kong Xiangxi, vice president of the Executive Yuan and elder brother-in-law of Chiang Kai-shek, sent a telegram to support the central government's established national policies and work together to help each other and send a separate message to Song Zheyuan, Zhu Bin, Yan Xishan, Shang Zhen, Chen Honglie, Yu Xuezhong, and Feng Qinzai (the commander of Yang Hucheng's department), hoping to save the crisis together.
"The Chairman cannot die! The country is in a critical state today, and only Chairman Chiang can lead China to resist the great powers and revitalize and rise!" All sectors of society have made similar arguments.
Zhu Bin, who watched the development of the situation coldly, sighed in his heart that Jiang Jiang was a popular man who had been fighting for more than ten years, and indeed no one could compare with him.
After discussing with a group of think tanks, I finally decided: "Cheng Jiang can't die, Zhang Yang is young and immature, and is not worthy of support."
Then he made a public statement, urging Zhang Yang to release him as soon as possible, otherwise he would use powerful personnel to carry out rescue.
Not only did he say that, he immediately sent a long-range bomber formation to hover over Xi'an, sprinkling hundreds of thousands of proposals, and persuading Zhang Yang to stop in time and not to cause a big mistake of unforgivable one. His positive attitude was simply eye-catching, and even made Lao Jiang, who was detained and unable to sleep or eat, and a group of people in Nanjing laugh and cry - Are you trying to save people or want to harm people? What if Zhang Yang was scared and hurt?
No one thinks that Zhu Bin is sincere. This guy has always been a naughty style and is common to do impulsively and recklessly. Doing this shows that his concern for the safety of Chairman Jiang is sincere, otherwise why would he have made such a big fight?
But my real thoughts could not be hidden from my own people. Cao Han and Jiang Baili said helplessly to him: "You did this on purpose, right?"! ~!
