    Chapter 687: Inside Story of the Southern Front

    Tang Qiuli was fighting the Japanese in North China. The southern front had been quiet for a long time. It seemed that the Japanese threat had gone away. It was inevitable that someone would come out to cause trouble. Most of them were jealous of Tang Qiuli's current real power, and there were also He Yingqin or Chen Guofu.  Most of this group of people usually had different political opinions, intrigues, and strife with each other. Because Tang Qiuli was alone, they actually put aside their previous grudges and formed a rope to attack Tang Qiuli from all sides. It can be seen that Tang Qiuli  The rise of Li in the north seems to have greatly affected their interests.

    Upon closer inspection, most of them had no grudges or grudges against Tang Qiuli, they were just driven by interests. Except for the die-hard figures He Yingqin and Chen Guofu, they wanted to get rid of Tang Qiuli and then quickly. Such people, occupying high positions in the government, were still very influential.  They are powerful, and their attitude will inevitably have an impact on the government's foreign policy.

    Chairman Chiang also noticed this force that opposed Tang Qiuli. He was just pretending not to know. Dai Li's Military Command Bureau was not a vegetarian. Every time these people got together, what topics were discussed? In just a few hours,  It will be completely placed on Chairman Chiang's desk. Regarding this situation, Chairman Chiang has mixed feelings.

    Tang Qiuli was gaining more wings and strength in the north. Chairman Chiang was really worried. He found that he could no longer control Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli alone was not scary. At worst, he would treat Zhang Xueliang the same way or even force him to go abroad.  , but the hundreds of thousands of troops behind him who fought bloody battles with the Japanese are the most feared force. The Japanese Army is not the Northeast Army, and Tang Qiuli is not Zhang Xueliang. Chairman Chiang knows this very well.

    The Northeastern Army at that time was a rootless duckweed living in a foreign country. In addition, it was accused of "non-resistance". Its morale was low and its cohesion was reduced. Everyone yelled at the rats crossing the street, so Chairman Chiang dared to rashly detain or even arrest them.  Zhang Xueliang was put under house arrest because the Northeastern Army was in disarray and could not make big waves, and Zhang Hanqing was a chivalrous and courageous man who was eager for justice and attached great importance to friendship.

    But Tang Qiuli was different from his military adviser. Through many contacts with Tang Qiuli, Chairman Chiang never regarded him as Colonel Zhang Hanqing. Chairman Chiang, who boasted that he could see through anyone, thought he could not see through Tang Qiuli.  Qiu Li, his army commander, has long been trained into a group of fierce tigers. Under the call of the anti-Japanese banner, the troops have amazing cohesion.  The central government will deal with it decisively, and the *** division will never disappear.

    Chairman Chiang believed that he could not afford to offend such a well-equipped and powerful force. Moreover, Tang Qiuli had resisted more than one million Japanese for himself in North China. He originally placed his troops in the Yellow River Basin war zone.  With the government's greed and desire for territory, he will definitely do things that are intolerable to Tang Qiuli. If two tigers fight against each other, there will be harm. Chairman Chiang can reap the benefits of the fishermen, killing three eagles with one stone.  Not only did they fight against the Japanese, but they also suffered losses for both Mao Zedong and Tang Qiuli.

    Unexpectedly, Tang Qiuli followed the trend, and Yan'an and his party reached an agreement with the Communist Party. Tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army troops were able to successfully march to the North China battlefield. There was no dispute or dispute between the two sides. According to Dai Li's secret report, the two sides even helped each other and cooperated with each other tacitly. Tang Qiuli  Qiu Li tacitly allowed the Communist Eighth Route Army to enter the hinterland of his Taihang Mountains, and privately provided a large amount of weapons and equipment to the Eighth Route Army, making the beggar-like Japanese army even more powerful. Chairman Chiang was very upset. Isn't this a loss of money?  son's business.

    Worried, worried, at this time, Chairman Chiang had identified Tang Qiuli as the only candidate who could threaten his throne, especially after Tang Qiuli took over the entire territory of Shandong and suppressed Li Zongren and Yan Xishan's attempts to peek into Shandong.  Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Jinling was really troubled. The Japanese were foreign tigers, menacing, and wanted to swallow up his country.  What he did will definitely cause serious trouble in the future.

    Tang Qiuli is the opponent who has supported him with one hand. Although he has not shown any signs of competing with him, a man who has the capital to compete for the world will definitely covet the dragon chair. Even if Tang Qiuli does not have this ambition, Commissioner Jiang  Chang Ye would definitely not let a tiger that could hurt him at any time grow up freely around him. The even more terrifying consequence is that Tang Qiuli and the police team up, and he is by no means his enemy. The people in Jinling City  Can Chairman Chiang still sit safely on the throne of the first person of the Republic of China?

    Chairman Chiang did not mention these words to anyone, including his political wife Song Meiling. Because of these thoughts, he adopted an attitude of indifference to the anti-Tang Qiuli forces and allowed them to develop. Otherwise, according to Chiang Kai-shek  With the Chairman's skills, it will not be difficult to suppress this evil trend. From the chaos at the beginning of the Republic of China, when various factions fought hard, Chairman Chiang, who is proficient in the power of conspiracy, can see it better than anyone else.  Be clear,

    He wanted to see how far this force could go and how much role it would play in his overall plan. However, Tang Qiuli was in the north.At present, no one can replace his role, and he is worried that this force will become too rampant, become powerful, and dominate the domestic and foreign policies of the government, so that it will anger Tang Qiuli and cause an uncontrollable situation. The Japanese are not good men and women, and they have a big appetite.  At this moment, Chairman Jiang is hesitating. Tang Qiuli must be eradicated, or at least restricted. However, the current situation in North China cannot be supported by him. Chairman Chiang is hesitant. The forces opposing Tang Qiuli have gone further.  Faster and more urgent.

    Nanjing, on the banks of the Qinhuai River, a beautifully decorated cruise ship floats on the Qinhuai River casually and comfortably. Different from other cruise ships, there are no girls wearing heavy makeup and posing, and there are no silk and bamboos with melodious sounds. There are flowers everywhere, and the singing of swallows and warblers.  , smiling again and again, the air on the Qinhuai River, filled with the fragrance of makeup and powder, looked different and out of place. Even the charming boat girl who was rowing the oar was replaced by a sturdy man.

    In the cabin, there is an exquisite mahogany square lacquered small table, four light seasonal side dishes, and a bottle of wine to whet one's appetite. Two middle-aged men, sitting opposite each other in suits and leather shoes, have been talking for a long time.  The food and wine were not touched at all, and the atmosphere was depressing and solemn, incompatible with the surrounding environment, as if they owed each other 80,000 yuan.

    Upon closer inspection, you can tell that there is a short man among them. There is an indescribable awkwardness in his fluent Chinese. Under the seemingly gentle appearance, the inadvertent movement of his eyes cannot hide his fullness.  The other man's face was full of evil and fierceness, but he was much calmer, with slightly swollen eyelids and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his slender eyes. He occasionally looked up at the short man, but could not tell his true thoughts, and seemed confident.  It seemed that the conversation between the two did not go well.

    An alternative cruise ship, with two middle-aged men with serious faces, everything is extraordinary. The short man is Japanese, his name is Tanaka Koichi, he is a special representative of the Japanese Base Camp Staff Headquarters, with the rank of Army Colonel, he is a famous person in the Staff Headquarters.  One of China's experts, he engaged in espionage work in the Northeast in his early years. He was one of the main officers of the Kwantung Army Staff Group and planned and participated in the "September 18" Manchuria Incident.

    Tanaka Koichi came to Nanjing this time with a top-secret mission. It was also an important operation planned by Emperor Hirohito and the General Staff Headquarters. The main purpose was to offer attractive conditions to induce the Nanjing government to reconcile with Japan, at least within a certain period of time.  To a certain extent, they adopted unsupportive attitudes and practices towards Tang Qiuli's troops in North China.

    This was also an extraordinary measure that had to be adopted. The all-out war against China had been going on for nearly a year. The battlefields of North China and Songhu were defeated one after another. The Japanese abandoned hundreds of thousands of corpses and failed to gain even a foothold in the Songhu area. They also lost  Several fortresses originally in Shanghai were lost. In North China, the Japanese army gained nothing except the benefits they obtained from the "Tanggu Agreement". Tang Qiuli's army was like an iron door bolt, clinging to death.  Stop the Japanese army from moving south.

    Not only that, Tang Qiuli also defeated the army and lost two commanders. The situation in North China was increasingly developing in a direction that was not conducive to the Japanese Empire. Both Emperor Hirohito and the base camp realized that they wanted to destroy the empire quickly.  China's vision is simply impossible to realize, and reality has proven that Japan does not have the capital to fight with the Chinese army on two fronts at the same time. The Chinese can afford it, but the Japanese, who are small and resource-poor, cannot afford it.

    Weighing the pros and cons, the Japanese government and opposition parties unanimously believe that Tang Qiuli, who has risen like a ghost, has become the biggest obstacle to the Holy War of the Japanese Empire. If he stands in North China, the strategic plan of the Japanese Empire cannot be implemented. In the absence of Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese generals  In their minds, Tang Qiuli, known as the China Devil, had replaced Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing and became the number one enemy of the Japanese Empire.

    Tanaka Hongichi's mission is to sign a secret agreement with the Nanjing government to free up his hands to deal with Tang Qiuli with all his strength. The reason why Tanaka Hongichi is sure to complete the mission is because the Japanese agents lurking in Nanjing city have not disturbed the troubles in Nanjing city.  Reports of all sizes were sent to the mainland, but upon arriving in Nanjing, the first meeting with the liaison person was not smooth. The main reason was that the expectations and requirements of both parties were far from each other, and there was no basis for negotiation.

    The two parties broke up unhappily. When they got off the boat, no one noticed that on the boat coming towards them, there were several fashionably dressed and wild-looking dandy boys, holding charming beauties on their arms, constantly changing their postures.  , holding the camera and taking pictures non-stop, as if he wanted to keep the beautiful scenery and the beauty in the lens together.

    The man with slightly swollen eyelids was so preoccupied with what happened during the meeting that he didn't notice that when he got into the car and drove towards the Military Commission building, a car quietly followed him.  , several tough men in black suits and top hats held extremely low watched his car drive into the Military Commission building, leaving two people to continue monitoring, and the car drove directly to the headquarters of the Military Unification Bureau in Nanjing Jiyaxiang.
