The Central Army was defeated in repeated battles. There was even a situation where the establishment surrendered, which suddenly made the Sichuan Anti-Japanese War situation unprecedentedly worse. Seeing the Japanese army heading directly towards Chongqing, if Chongqing was really captured by the Japanese army and then surrendered to the puppet Nanjing government
If it becomes the new capital, it will be an unprecedented blow to the current National Government. Moreover, if Chongqing is lost, where else can the National Government move? Tibet and Xinjiang are impossible, because with the current strength of the Central Army, it is simply impossible
Can't break through the Japanese blockade. Yunnan or Guizhou? It will be their turn after Chongqing, and both places are notoriously barren. Think about it, the number of refugees currently stranded in Chongqing has exceeded 20 million, so many people
If they flood into Yunnan or Guizhou, the food pressure alone will bring down these two provinces. "Currently the only one who can save the crisis is the Xuebing Army!" When Lao Jiang was in a state of despair, someone finally made such a voice. Then,
The secret that Mu Jiandie had set up in Chongqing for such a long time began to take effect - the Anti-Japanese League, the Democratic League and other parties, as well as some non-Chiang Kai-shek officials from the Kuomintang and the current president Lin Sen came forward one after another. They either signed a letter or organized a parade.
rallies, or directly find Chiang Kai-shek to "learn to use emotion to move people with reason." Under pressure, Chiang Kai-shek had to send Song Zi as a representative to Guangzhou to seek help from the Xuebing Army.
Although the war situation was urgent, negotiations were still a difficult process involving party interests. However, when Chongqing's aviation force was completely exhausted by the Japanese army and had to rely on the Xuebing Army fighter planes taking off from Changsha to defend Chongqing's airspace, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to
Do not accept many conditions of the Xuebing Army in exchange for the Xuebing Army's full entry into Chongqing.
Among the many conditions set by the Xuebing Army, the formation of a coalition government is the fundamental condition. On this basis, three aspects are involved. After returning from Cairo, Ouyang Yun instructed Ji Xing to start preparations for the construction of the coalition government. Ji Xing summoned Jiang Shuren for this purpose.
, Tan Kah Kee and others set up a special research group. Therefore, although the time seems to be rushed, in fact, the Xuebing Army has already made preparations in all aspects. The other three aspects, the army is naturally the top priority. This
Ouyang Yun was personally responsible for this. He proposed the establishment of a headquarters, under which three general headquarters of the Army, Navy and Air Force would be established. He would also change the existing theater system to a group army system and abolish the distinction between the central army and local armies. Then there were the political parties.
The problem is that since it is a coalition government, government officials will ignore party affiliation and be appointed and removed purely based on a unified evaluation system. The final issue is related to military unification and unification. "Abolition of spy rule" is another insistence of the Xuebing Army.
The specific affairs in this area are in charge of Mu Jiandie. During his years in Chongqing, Mu Jiandie has already figured out the composition and staffing situation of Tonghe Juntong. Military Tonghe Tongjiang will be classified into the Central Intelligence Agency under the General Headquarters.
, all departments used for government governance and internal repression functions will be transformed and incorporated into the police department under the State Council.
Such conditions are harsh. According to the agreement reached by both parties, after the establishment of the coalition government, although Chiang Kai-shek served as president, because the president under the coalition government system was an honorary position, all the powers to manage the country and the military were assigned to the State Council.
, which means that he will actually be overthrown and lose all power. In turn, Ouyang Yun, who will serve as Prime Minister of the State Council of the coalition government, will gain all the power he had before.
In Chongqing, when the agreement was reached and announced internally, a large number of Central Military Officers came to Lao Jiang's intersection for several days in a row to express their loyalty. Many people even knelt down in front of Lao Chiang's room, crying.
The call sign is "Why did the principal abandon us and wait?"
Guangzhou was a different story. When Ouyang Yun was preparing to lead his army to Chongqing, the commanders of the legions headed by Li Tieshu called him one after another, hoping that he would postpone his westward march. Many people even proposed that Guangzhou should be made a companion capital. In this way, "
The Commander-in-Chief can handle state affairs in Guangzhou, and safety can naturally be guaranteed." Jiang Guangnai was the first advocate of establishing Guangzhou as the secondary capital, and his reason came from his understanding of Lao Chiang Kai-shek. He believed that Lao Chiang Kai-shek was not trustworthy at all, so he had to take precautions
He even had evil intentions in order to retreat in order to advance. Later, he even proposed that the Central Army should be reorganized, or at least all the old Chiang Kai-shek's iron rods should be replaced.
The night before leaving, Ouyang Yun had dinner with Jiang Guangnai, Ji Xing, Tan Kah Kee, Jiang Shuren, and Li Hanhun. At the dinner table, he gave a positive response to Jiang Guangnai's worries. He said: "If possible, I also hope to be able to ease the situation."
Pause. But according to the information from Director Mu, if we don't take action, Chongqing may really be lost. I'm not afraid of losing Chongqing, but we have to consider the army of more than one million gathered in the Chongqing area. Now
On the front line, there has been a situation where the Central Army has formally surrendered. Even if one-third of this army of more than one million people surrenders, we cannot bear it. Because of the battlefield war, our own people will die less when we fight against our own people? That’s right.
, there are many traitors, and these people definitely deserve to die. But we should also see that many of its soldiers had no choice but to surrender because of the selfish interests of their commanders. So I think it is better for us to go to Chongqing sooner rather than later. Mr. Jiang is worried
I understand that there are still more than one million members of the Central Army, and the GMD members also occupy too many high positions. We have no way to weaken them now. But I believe that the vast majority of the Central Army and GMD members still think that they are Chinese first.
, and secondly, they consider themselves soldiers of the central government and people of gmd. Everyone, if we want to win this war, if we want to gain enough benefits in this world war, it will definitely not work without a unified and powerful government. You
Don’t you realize? Isn’t the fundamental reason for starting this world war because Germany, Italy and Japan want to re-divide the world’s power? To use an inappropriate metaphor, a cake is only so big. If you want more, he also wants more.
, since we can’t reach an agreement, then we have no choice but to start a fight..."
This is the first time Ouyang Yun has revealed his "ambition" in public. Fortunately, Ji Xing, after all, he knows Ouyang Yun too well. Jiang Guangnai and others were stunned for the first time. The country has been weak for hundreds of years, but they are used to it.
Those who are concerned about the country and the people have never thought that the country can actually compete for world interests.
Li Hanhun had actually faded out of the inner circle of the Xuebing Army before. However, because he managed Guangzhou effectively and withstood several temptations, Ouyang Yun considered that the influence of the old Cantonese faction in the army was still huge, so he decided to
Trust him again and reuse him. Even when Li Hanhun became the number one person in the Old Cantonese clan, he only considered how to maintain the territory of the Old Cantonese clan, and did not even expand his sights to the whole country. Therefore, when he heard Ouyang Yun say this
After saying these ambitious words, I was completely shocked for the first time.
