1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

This level is quite high, and it can be said to be a super-level treatment. After all, according to the "Declaration of Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party", the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are "equal" in political status. In other words, Xiang Ying's status is at least equivalent to that of the Vice Chairman of the National Government.

Cai Tingcuo and Jiang Guang'e looked at each other and, without much hesitation, immediately agreed to the relevant requirements put forward by the Communist Party of China, such as "cooperation in resisting Japan and common development."

Why is it so joyful?

Because the people who sent them the orders were named Li Jishen and Chen Mingshu.

The former was the supreme commander of the 1st Division of the Guangdong Army, the predecessor of the 19th Route Army. He had great influence in both the political and military circles and was their elder.

The latter was even more powerful - he was their old superior and current backer, and the one who actually gave them the order to resist the Japanese army in Shanghai.

Historically, because Cai Tingcuo disagreed with Chen Mingshu's military deployment, Chen scolded Cai so much that he almost beat him up.

Even so, Cai Tingcuo only dared to grumble quietly in private, "Anyway, the 19th Route Army belongs to Chen Mingshu, and it's his business how he wants to defeat it."

Its status is evident.

If the two leaders had not collectively sent a telegram requesting close cooperation with the Red Army, how could the 19th Route Army have been so obedient?

Historically, this army arrived in Fujian, but fought several fierce battles with the Red Army. Both sides suffered a lot of losses, and they were forced to death by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, which finally led to the "Fujian Incident."

Fortunately, history has changed.

Further south, in Guangdong, Pan Hannian sat in Chen Jitang's reception room, leisurely sipping a sip of Cantonese tea, his face beaming with joy:

"Commander Chen, how are you thinking about this? When will we sign the purchase and sales agreement? We have a mountain of ore piled up over there."

“..Sign! Sign now!”

Jiangxi was basically under the control of the Red Army; Hubei was completely under the threat of the Red Army's offensive; Fujian agreed to cooperate with the Red Army to resist Japan and secretly oppose Chiang Kai-shek; Guangdong was willing to do business with the Red Army and not invade each other;

Guangxi, happily watching the fun from the sidelines, eagerly hoping that the Red Army and Chiang Kai-shek would fight to the death...

At this point, Chiang Kai-shek's "Fourth Encirclement and Suppression Campaign in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Base Area" had completely failed;

The "Fourth Encirclement and Suppression Campaign in the Central Soviet Area" had not even begun, and it was already over!

258 The Nationalist Army began to fully oppose Chiang Kai-shek

"Damn it!"

Ah, this is the nth time I have used this word to start... Never mind, I won’t complain about this issue anymore.

In short, when Chairman Chiang saw the 19th Route Army in Fujian and the Red Army jointly issued the declaration of "Following the Declaration of Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to Jointly Resist Japan and Save the Nation", he was shocked and angry.

He finally realized that he had been fooled.

It is obvious that the Communist bandits and the 19th Route Army have been colluding for a long time (in fact, it was only a day or two), and they may even have been colluding before the Battle of Wuhan!

Li Jishen! Chen Mingshu!!

He immediately thought of those two bastards and was so angry that he wanted to smash the table but didn't dare to use any force.

The doctor said that during the treatment of chrysanthemum cracking, you should eat less and drink more water, and try not to have too much emotional fluctuations;

Otherwise, if it cracks again, he cannot guarantee that it can be cured; even if it can be cured, it will probably cause lifelong pain.

But how can you expect Generalissimo Chiang to remain calm? It's all bad news!

Apart from anything else, the public clauses in the public agreement signed between the 19th Route Army and the Red Army alone would have infuriated Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to the point of utter indignation!

1. The Ninth Route Army completely ceases its military offensive and economic blockade against the Red Army and recognizes the legitimacy of its regime;

2. The 19th Route Army will release all political prisoners in Fujian prisons and guarantee the freedom of anti-imperialist and anti-Japanese organizations;

3. The 19th Route Army and the Red Army signed a joint combat agreement, and a unit would be sent to escort the Red Army northward to fight against Japan.

4 ....

Damn it!

Are you going to rebel?

Although none of the clauses in this treaty violated the "Declaration of Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party" that Chairman Chiang had just signed, each of them made Chairman Chiang extremely angry!

Because he not only saw the hidden meaning of the "Fujian-Jiangxi" joint advance and retreat and conspiracy against Chiang Kai-shek, but also saw the precursor to his control power rapidly declining!

The 19th Route Army, a force that was being pushed step by step into a dead end, dared to "rebel". Could it be that Li Zongren's local powerful factions were brewing even more daring and reckless plans?!

However, even so, what can Chairman Chiang Kai-shek do? Certainly not for the time being.

The Communist bandits led by that bastard Li Desheng are still across the river from him! Because of the threat from the Communist Party, Chairman Chiang is currently in a state of virtual disconnection in the entire Kuomintang system, and is forced to play the "monarch offline system."

At this moment, there was a rustling sound outside the door:

"Hey? Something like this happened again? Then..."

"Hush...keep your voice down, don't let the Chairman hear." "But...this means our west..."

"What's the point of worrying about the west now? You should worry about whether Chairman Li... Li's Communist... Red Army will invade..."

Chiang Kai-shek, who was already irritated by the troubles caused by the 19th Route Army, roared angrily when he heard the muffled sound outside the door:

"What are you talking about! Come in and report!"

Two attendants nervously opened the door and walked in with their heads lowered: "Commissioner...Commissioner..."

"What happened again!" "Yes..."

After snatching the telegram from the aide-de-camp and glancing at it, Chairman Chiang was not very angry this time, but just sneered.

Haha, I should be worried about what Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are up to. But you, a mere Fan Shisheng, leading a mere 51st Division, want to rebel?

Fan Shisheng, a native of Yunnan, was born in 1887. He participated in the National Protection War, the Law Protection War, and the Northern Expedition. He was promoted to general in 1923 and had a very rich career.

Then why did a general become a major general division commander?

Of course it was Chairman Chiang's method!

This man was a classmate and sworn brother of General Zhu. After the Nanchang Uprising failed, he took the initiative to secretly hide General Zhu and the uprising troops in his own army, and also provided them with weapons and supplies...

Because of these and other complex political conflicts, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek reorganized Fan Shisheng's 16th Army into the 51st Division and gave him the title of "Xiangfan Garrison Commander."

Unable to bear this humiliation, Fan Shisheng offered to resign several times, but Chairman Chiang pretended to disagree and kept delaying it until today, even deliberately asking him to participate in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui bandit suppression campaign.

Unexpectedly, after learning of the Wuhan defeat and the signing of the agreement between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, this guy actually dared to publicly send a telegram, saying that the 51st Division was willing to escort and follow the Red Army north to fight against Japan!"

damn it!

With just a few thousand of you, you have the guts to come out and make a scene!

Have you forgotten that your 51st Division is already mine? When I have time...

At this time, another aide knocked on the door carefully and came in. Seeing the other party's ugly expression, Chairman Chiang knew that something was wrong and stretched out his hand:

"What bad thing is this? Show it to me!"

"yes...""

This time, it was the "Anti-Japanese Declaration" issued by Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang:

"...the Sichuan Army should stop the war and save the nation, leave Sichuan to fight the Japanese, and dedicate themselves to national defense. They should not cross the wall with their brothers, causing endless bloodshed, causing grief to their loved ones and joy to their enemies..."

In short, Liu Xiang added his own interpretation to the Declaration of Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and acted like an anti-Japanese general who was concerned about the country and the people.

But who was Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek?

He saw through Liu Xiang's plan immediately! Anti-Japanese?

You just want to use the name of anti-Japanese to suppress Liu Wenhui and Yang Sen (that "shitless" warlord) who are about to fight you!

(At this time, the Sichuan Civil War had not yet ended, and Liu Xiang was not yet the "King of Sichuan". His plan was still to "protect Sichuan, eliminate the Red Bandits, and fool the Central Committee.")

snort!

Hypocritical and pretentious!

Even though he knew that Liu Xiang was not truly fighting against the Japanese, but was just doing his job and had not colluded with the Communist bandits, Chairman Chiang was still very unhappy.

Because Liu Xiang has never been an obedient person. This time he hurriedly took advantage of the "Wuhan failure" trend to make a fuss, exposing his ambition.

The Sichuan Army...is not easy to deal with...

The only way to take action is to find a way to transfer them out of Sichuan. I have to think about it.

However, the chain reaction brought about by the horrific news that "Wuhan was defeated, 30 national army troops were wiped out, and hundreds of national army officers were captured" was huge.

Before Chairman Chiang Kai-shek could figure out how to deal with Fan Shisheng and Liu Xiang, Yan Xishan in Shanxi also sent a telegram to the whole country, supporting the Red Army's anti-Japanese war, and his tone was even more passionate than Liu Xiang's.

After all, his Shanxi was far away from the Red Bandits. It would be very painful for him to be like Liu Xiang, who had to guard against Chiang Kai-shek's army, the internal affairs, and the Red Bandits at the same time.

Of course, this old man, who was later known as "the one who could dance on three eggs", was just shouting empty slogans. He did not express his intention to "escort and resist the Japanese" like the 19th Route Army and Fan Shisheng did.

There was no mention of providing "material assistance" or anything like that, and the main focus was on "providing all support other than help."

Therefore, Chairman Chiang was not too angry.

Anyway, his hatred for that old bastard Yan Xishan wasn't just one or two days old. He'd figure it out later.

Similarly, when Feng Yuxiang of Mount Tai, Long Yun of Yunnan, Wang Jialie of Guizhou, He Jian of Hunan and others issued anti-Japanese declarations one after another, Chiang Kai-shek still did not react much.

Among these people, except Feng Yuxiang who is a little less petty, the others are all tough guys, and there is probably no need to worry about them getting involved with the Communist bandits like the 19th Route Army did.

For example, He Jian, this is a warlord who will never cooperate with the Communist bandits.

The reason is simple:

He Jian killed Li Desheng's wife, Yang Kaihui, and Zhu Dezong's wife, Wu Ruolan. He even cut off Wu Ruolan's head while she was pregnant and hung it on the city gate for public display. He also dissected the fetus and chopped it into a paste...

If everyone could cooperate, Chiang Kai-shek would be willing to dig out his own eyes and feed them to Li Desheng and General Zhu as a snack.

Let me tell you, among the major domestic forces, there is only...

It’s still the same sentence "As expected", the "Three Giants of the Guangxi Clique", Huang Shaozi, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi also successively issued similar anti-Japanese declarations on behalf of the Guangxi Clique.

Chairman Chiang Kai-shek must take this power seriously. After reading the other party's speech and carefully analyzing its profound meaning, he could not help but burst into anger:

Damn it!

What you are implying is that you are setting up a stage for us to watch the show! Watch me and the Communist bandits fight against the Japanese and fight to the death with each other!

Insects! Worse than insects!

Chen Jitang of Guangdong at least said, "The Guangdong Army will not go north, but will serve as a rear base to provide resources"!

Damn it!

You all want to rebel, right? Fortunately, Zhang from the Northeast...

"Chairman! Deputy Commander Zhang has issued an anti-Japanese declaration! He expressed his willingness to lead the army out of the border to fight against the Japanese!"

出,

"Committee?"

"Zhang...Deputy Commander, you mean...Zhang Xiao...Xueliang?" "Uh...yes..."

Company

"Chairman?" "Chairman?" "Chairman!!!"

"Oh no! The chairman has fainted! His butt is bleeding again!"

"Sani Tower! Sani Tower!"

259? Why does the Communist Party support bald people?

After the defeat in Wuhan, it was not just the local warlords who were thinking about rebelling against Chairman Chiang.

Rather, just as the saying goes, "military is a continuation of politics," the rebellion of a considerable number of local warlords was merely an extension of the will of the bigwigs in the political arena.

"Give up Nanchang? Chiang Kai-shek really dares!!"

In Nanjing, Wang Jingwei, the vice president of the Kuomintang, the president of the Executive Yuan, and the foreign minister, who had heard some news in advance and knew that there would be another failure but had never expected Chairman Chiang to kneel so quickly, slammed the table hard.

As I said, things like "stop the civil war", "resist Japan and save the nation", "cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party", "equal status" are all easy to talk about, the key lies in "giving up the city of Nanchang" to the Communist bandits.

There's no need to elaborate on the importance of Nanchang's geographical location; the key is to give up the political influence that Nanchang brings, both within and outside the Party.

Wang Jingwei might not be good at other things, but his political vision (limited to political struggles) was basically up to par.

Chiang Kai-shek's "private" agreement to cooperate with the CCP to jointly resist Japan was, of course, impeccable from a moral point of view, and he could easily suppress other people in the party and government from opposing it;

However, this action fully exposed Chairman Chiang's weakness and incompetence in the face of threats, and would inevitably cause the other forces that had already been barely united to become disloyal again.
