After listening to Yue Weihan's criticism of the Soviet Union, Yang Shaocheng couldn't help but frown.
Within the CCP at that time, although the local faction headed by Chairman Mao and Mr. Zhu had become the de facto leader of the Chinese revolution, the influence of the Comintern was still quite powerful, especially those party members who had returned from studying in the Soviet Union.
, even regarded the Soviet Union as a holy land of revolution, and regarded Stalin as a god-like existence.
Yang Shaocheng also studied in the Soviet Union and worked for a long time. In his heart, the status of the Soviet Union and Stalin was quite sacred, so Yue Weihan's blatant attack made him feel very uncomfortable.
Yue Weiguo was a native-born member of the Communist Party of China and had no special feelings for the Soviet Union and Stalin. He asked impatiently: "Brother, is the Soviet Union's communist system reasonable? Is Stalin's personal communist code of conduct reasonable?"
Gao Shang, we won’t care about these for now. I just want to ask you one question, are you willing to join the Communist Party of China?”
"Brother, Mr. Yang, haven't you had dinner yet?" Yue Weihan smiled slightly and changed the subject.
Of course Yue Weihan is willing to join the Communist Party of China, but not now, and Yang Shaocheng and Yue Weiguo are definitely not suitable to be his introducers to join the party.
If it were the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, Yue Weihan was just a small battalion commander, then Yang Shaocheng, then director of the Eighth Route Army Office in Shanghai, would be enough to serve as Yue Weihan's introduction to the party.
But times have changed, and Yue Weihan is now the director of the Jilu Appeasement Office of the National Government and the commander of the New Sixth Army. In terms of job title alone, he is at least equivalent to Commander Nie of the Hebei-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. Although Yue Weiguo is Yue Weihan's fourth brother,
However, his title is just the commander of the Jinan Military Division under the Shanxi-Hebei-Cha Military Region, which is a big difference in rank.
This is not Yue Weihan's pretentiousness, let alone manipulation, but a practical necessity.
If some things are not made clear from the beginning, they will become unclear later. Yue Weihan does not want to make his party membership history obscure because of a moment of negligence. He will suffer a big loss.
Yue Weiguo didn't think much about it. When he wanted to ask more questions, he was stopped by Yang Shaocheng.
Yang Shaocheng figured out the reason. Yue Weihan's status now is no different than before. With the friendship he forged at Sihang Warehouse, he could still call Yue Weihan his brother in private, but if he really wants to go official, then he
Yang Shaocheng honored Yue Weihan as an officer. The title of Director of the Jilu Appeasement Office of the National Government was not an empty title!
Moreover, Yang Shaocheng's trip to Yue Weiguo was just to explore Yue Weihan's tone of voice.
Now that Yue Weihan has clearly stated his position, the next work should be left to Yan'an. With Yue Weihan's current military position and administrative level, plus Yue Weihan has more than 60,000 soldiers of the New Sixth Army.
, the Yan'an side would have to send Mr. Zhu or General Political Commissar Zhou to contact him at least.
At that moment, Yang Shaocheng smiled and said: "Brother Uyghur and Han, we really haven't had dinner yet."
Yue Weihan smiled slightly, turned around and told Chu Zhongtian: "Zhongtian, go to the cooking class to see if there is anything else to eat, and ask Lao Wangtou to heat it up and bring it over as soon as possible."
"Okay." Chu Zhongtian turned around immediately.
Chongqing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
After dozens of hours of turbulence, Chairman Chiang finally arrived safely at his temporary official residence in Chongqing. Seeing Chairman Chiang getting out of the car, Mrs. Chiang, who had been guarding the gate since the evening, suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
He sighed, and immediately rushed forward to hold Chairman Chiang's arm and began to sob softly.
Chairman Chiang was not in the mood to comfort his beloved wife at this moment, so he just patted his wife on the shoulder.
Chairman Chiang is indeed in a bad mood now. Wuhan has been lost, the Japanese army has been defeated, the Yangtze River waterway is about to be completely opened by the Japanese army, and bad news is coming one after another. These are already disturbing enough, but I never thought that this has just happened.
When he arrived in Chongqing, another news came from the Military Command Bureau that made him even more troubled!
Yue Weihan is having substantial contact with the CCP!
For Chairman Chiang, this was like a bolt from the blue.
Although Chairman Chiang dislikes seeing Yue Weihan in his heart, and even wishes to reduce Yue Weihan's military power and put him under house arrest, Chairman Chiang must also admit that Yue Weihan is definitely an unparalleled military general who has defeated so many senior generals.
, only he can repeatedly inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army on the battlefield!
If such people turn to the CCP, the consequences will be disastrous!
Today, Yue Weihan holds 60,000 troops of the New Sixth Army in his hands!
Thinking of this, Chairman Chiang really regretted it. If he had known that there would be such a result, he should not have appointed Yue Weihan as the commander of the New Sixth Army, let alone the 181st Division, the New 6th Division and the New 9th Division.
The division was incorporated into the battle order of the New Sixth Army! But then again, who would have thought that Yue Weihan could really take care of Shi Yousan, Gao Shuxun and Sun Dianying?
There has never been any regret medicine in this world, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek could only break his teeth and swallow it with blood.
Hurrying into the study, Chairman Chiang dismissed Mrs. Chiang and asked Wang Shihe to invite General He and Chen Cheng in.
"Respect, Ci Xiu, come, come and sit down." Chairman Jiang waved to General He and Chen Cheng to take their seats, and then asked, "You all tell me, what should we do about this matter now?" Although Chairman Jiang did not say these words
There was no beginning or end, but both General He and Chen Cheng knew that he was talking about Yue Weihan's secret contacts with the CCP.
Chen Cheng first said: "Commissioner, I think this matter cannot be taken lightly."
"Of course I know we can't take it lightly." Chairman Chiang said unhappily, "I'm asking you, what should I do?"
Chen Cheng said in a dark voice: "Now Yue Weihan is far away in southern Hebei, and Emperor Tiangao is far away and has 60,000 troops. There is nothing we can do about him. If we put pressure on him publicly, it might be bad... Therefore, the meaning of humble position still permeates,
Send a group of young and promising officers to assume important positions in the New Sixth Army, and secretly sideline Yue Weihan!"
Chairman Chiang waved his hand distractedly: "How long will it take?"
"Then we can only let Director Dai dispatch the special operations team." Chen Cheng sighed and said helplessly.
"Commitment, this is absolutely impossible!" General He said urgently, "It is no exaggeration to describe the current situation as dangerous. With the New Sixth Army restraining the Japanese army in southern Hebei, this battle still needs to be fought.
But if something happens to Yue Weihan, the New Sixth Army will definitely fall apart in an instant, and the only loss will be China's national defense strength!"
Chen Cheng said angrily: "Then just watch the New Sixth Army fall to the CCP?"
"This is just Dai Li's one-sided statement!" General He said, "I never believe that Yue Weihan will fall to the CCP!"
After saying this, General He added: "Moreover, even if Yue Weihan really wants to surrender to the Communist Party, the CCP may not dare to accept it!"
When Chairman Jiang heard this, his expression suddenly changed slightly and he asked: "Jingzhi, what do you mean by this?"
General He said: "Come to think of it, Yue Weihan is now the director of the Hebei-Shandong Appeasement Office, and he also commands more than 60,000 elite divisions of the New Sixth Army. What is the situation of the CCP? It controls only a corner of northern Shaanxi, and its troops are no more than a corner.
There are three divisions of 40,000 people. If Yue Weihan and the New Sixth Army really want to surrender, won't they be overshadowed by the enemy?"
"It makes sense." Chairman Jiang nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense!"
After thinking for a while, Chairman Chiang added: "Jingzhi, when you get back, immediately draft a telegram to promote Yue Weihan to Army General! The New Sixth Army was expanded into the 39th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with Yue Weihan as Commander-in-Chief. In addition,
In view of the unprecedented victory of the Baoshan Division at Niangziguan and its significant contribution to the National War of Resistance, an additional bonus of NT$500,000 will be given!"
Commissar Chiang's move was not unscrupulous. On the one hand, it was able to greatly show favor to Yue Weihan and appease all the officers and soldiers of the New Sixth Army. On the other hand, it set up a huge obstacle for the CCP to win over Yue Weihan and the New Sixth Army!
Yue Weihan is now the commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army. In terms of rank, he is already equivalent to Mr. Zhu, the commander-in-chief of the 18th Group Army. If Yue Weihan really wants to lead his troops to defect to the CCP, how will the CCP arrange his position? His position is low.
The officers and soldiers of the Thirty-ninth Army were not happy, and the officers and soldiers of the Eighteenth Army were unhappy again when their positions were promoted.
"Commissioned." General He came back to his senses and couldn't help but praise, "Great, this plan is really good!"
Chairman Jiang waved his hand, but his face darkened again, and said: "However, regarding this Yue Weihan, we can no longer let him go as he did before. With all due respect, you will immediately graduate from the 13th Infantry Section of the Central Military Academy upon your return.
Select two hundred students from among the students, let them graduate early, and send them to the 39th Group Army through the Second Theater."
Chairman Chiang had originally planned to directly appoint senior generals. According to his intention, he had to appoint a chief of staff, a director of the *** department and two deputy commanders-in-chief to the newly formed 39th Army Group. However,
Then I thought, with Yue Weihan's temper, even if he sent someone, they would definitely be ignored, so it would be better not to send someone.
Select two hundred cadets from the Central Military Academy and go there, so they won't be so conspicuous.
Chairman Chiang's calculation is quite accurate. These two hundred trainees will soon become the backbone of the 39th Army when they arrive. Within a year and a half, most of them will be promoted to battalion and company level officers.
, or even regiment-level officers. When the time comes, these two hundred students will become a huge force.
General He nodded, turned around, and was called back by Chairman Chiang after he had taken only two steps.
"Jingzhi, I remember last time Yue Weihan seemed to ask me for someone?" Chairman Jiang asked with a frown.
"That's what happened." Admiral He said, "Last time Yue Weihan sent a telegram, hoping that the committee could send some experts and professors from major universities to go there, and also send a group of skilled technical workers there."
"Satisfy him, satisfy him doubly!" Chairman Chiang said, "From now on, as long as it is a request made by Yue Weihan, whether it is for people, money or equipment, we will satisfy him doubly!" Chairman Chiang is a toy after all*
Although the master of ** was already very vigilant, he also knew that he had to do everything possible to appease Yue Weihan.
