April 12th, Sunday, is the 27th day of the second lunar month. It is a good time to get married, travel, get a haircut, and meet relatives and friends... It is forbidden to thank soil, pray for blessings, carry beams, and make stoves... It is a day that is destined to remain unknown in the long history. But this time and space has become a historic moment, because a meeting related to the future and destiny of this country will be held on this day.
Guangzhou has not been peaceful during this period. The anti-corruption campaign initiated by the General Political Department of the Xuebing Army is being carried out vigorously and vigorously in various places. Many government officials have been dismissed in Fujian, Guangdong, Qiong, Zhejiang and Guangxi. Among them, the highest-ranking one is the mayor. , while this made the people rejoice, it also made government officials at all levels feel anxious all day long. What shocked the domestic and foreign media reporters who paid attention to this matter was that some former anti-war heroes retired due to injuries. Corruption among lower-ranking township chiefs, even presidents of cooperatives, and heads of public factories and mines is the most serious. Among these people, the police station director who is a retired battalion commander has the most serious crimes. It is astonishing to the world that this director with little power actually had as many as eleven lives in his hands. "Why did these heroes on the anti-Japanese battlefield become the sinners of the nation, the accomplices of bullies, and the patron saints of local black forces?" "Mei Lanshu asked in "Xuebingjun Daily",
"Gong is merit, fault is fault. Past merits cannot offset current faults. Considering that they have just retired from the battlefield and are not familiar with political affairs, the headquarters is willing to give them a chance to reflect. But for those who have committed the most heinous crimes, Mr. Ouyang Yun The commander said he would never tolerate it... Most of the country's rivers and mountains are still occupied by Japanese invaders, and more than half of our compatriots are still living in dire straits. At this time, it is precisely because the military and civilians are united to tide over the difficulties, but some people are taking advantage of the people. Sucking people's blood, this kind of behavior is different from traitors. Those heroes who think they have made significant contributions to the Anti-Japanese War and do whatever they want with it, have you ever asked yourselves where your power comes from? It is the people who have given you power. You are being called Before becoming a certain township head, a certain county magistrate or even a certain mayor, you should first reflect on yourself, we are the public servants of the people, and the people elect us to be officials because of their trust in us and to make us better. Serving the country..." The spokesperson of the General Political Department of the Xuebing Army characterized this anti-corruption campaign at a press conference. The public statement of the General Political Department also completely shattered some people's vain attempts to rely on the past. The anti-corruption campaign was carried out smoothly, and a large number of officials took the initiative to resign or confess their faults. Their withdrawal provided an opportunity for those democrats with real talents and practical knowledge but not to learn from the military camp to enter. opportunities in politics, and after being selected, these people will first go to Guangzhou to participate in a three-month military training organized by the General Political Department of the Cadet Army...
Two hundred divisions of fine weapons, this is a huge piece of cake, and because Ouyang Yun announced early that the student army would not change its uniforms, this attracted great attention from the military bosses of all factions.
The negotiation group of the Yunnan Army was the first to arrive. Its chief representative was Lu Han, the cousin of Yunnan Provincial Chairman Long Yun, and then the Sichuan Army. Their chief representative was Deng Xihou, nicknamed "Crystal Monkey". The Sichuan warlords are famous for their scheming, and their ability to turn their hands into clouds and rain is extremely powerful. In terms of seniority, they are the seniors among the Sichuan warlords who can be on an equal footing with Yang Sen and Liu Xiang. After the Sichuan Army, there is the Central Army, which negotiates with the Central Army. The leader of the delegation was Chen Cheng, and the members of the delegation gathered together famous generals, including many heavyweight anti-Japanese generals who were admired by Ouyang Yun at that time and space. After the Central Army was the Gui Army. The Gui Army was led by Bai Chongxi, known as "Little Zhuge" , followed by the Gui Army were Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army and GCD Army. The reason why the negotiation groups of these two armies appeared together was because the two armies were fighting together in North China at this time. The chief representative of the Jinsui Army let Ouyang Yun To his great surprise, it was Fu Zuoyi, and the chief representative of the GCD army also surprised him, it was Chen Geng.
The Northeastern Army was the last one to arrive, and Marshal Zhang personally served as the leader. Marshal Zhang didn't want to come in person, but Ouyang Yun set a fire in Madang, making him realize that this negotiation would not be as simple as the rumors outside. In order to obtain better benefits, he came in person,
It is an old tradition in China to have a dinner together before a meeting. During the dinner, the subtle relationship between the various factions was revealed. Among the many negotiation groups, the Central Army was the largest, with two tables occupied, while the smallest group was It is the GCD army. Besides Chen Geng, there is only one Li Kenong.
The dinner party was hosted by Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu. The former was somewhat famous before, while the latter only came to prominence after joining the Xuebing Army. Like Ouyang Yun, the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army, their biggest characteristic is that they are young. Compare Chen Cheng. He was promoted to general at the age of 33, which can be considered a rocket-like promotion speed. However, Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu were promoted to generals at the age of 28 and 27 respectively, while Li Tieshu joined the academy in 36 years. When I was in the Bingjun Army, I was only a captain and company commander. This kind of speed cannot be described by rockets. It is simply unbelievable. Their promotion speed is not too much in the Xuebingjun because of the monster Ouyang Yun. It's different, but on this occasion, their young faces paired with the shining golden star of the admiral made those major generals and lieutenant generals in their forties and fifties feel uncomfortable no matter how they looked at them. Many of them had acidic water in their stomachs. The food and wine are also hard to swallow,
The atmosphere was a bit cold. Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu were helpless. They said it was a dinner party, but it was actually a warm-up before formal negotiations. Ji Xingwen's intention was to let the various factions communicate privately first so that their work would be easier, especially If those local armies can reach a tacit understanding first, it will help the commander-in-chief check and balance the central army. However, if others do not appreciate it or are not aware of their good intentions at all, and it is difficult for them to point it out, they can only wait for the commander-in-chief to check and balance the central army. The commander comes to the rescue,
Chen Cheng was in a bad mood. No matter how popular Xuebingjun was, it was only a local government. As the chief representative of the central government, he should be treated differently by Ouyang Yun. He thought Ouyang Yun would pick him up in person. But it was Ji Xingwen who finally showed up at Baiyunshan Airport. That was all. But in the next two days, Ouyang Yun didn't take the initiative to visit him. What does this mean? It's a show of force.
He didn't want to come to today's dinner party, but the reason why he came in the end was actually because he was afraid that Xuebingjun would reach a tacit agreement with the local faction behind their backs. He came already late, almost skipping the meal, but he What he didn't expect was that Ouyang Yun didn't arrive first. "Dai Li said that Ouyang Yun was planning some big move. It seems to be true. Hmph, I want to see what tricks he wants to play." He thought in his heart, His face became more and more evil,
