Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "I am the Consul of the Consulate of the Empire of Japan in Xiamen, Saburo Yoshida. It is an honor to meet His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief." Saburo Yoshida (fictional) bowed to Chiang Kai-shek when he saw him and introduced himself.

    "Nice to meet you, Mr. Yoshida." Chiang Kai-shek's Japanese is fairly fluent. After all, studying in Japan for many years was not in vain.

    "Please forgive me, I believe that the National Government in mainland China no longer has the strength to confront the Beijing government. Now the Beijing government has hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding Jiangxi and Fujian from three directions, and they will remain in the two places to fight against the Beijing government.  Fighting is an unwise choice." After some pleasantries, Yoshida Saburo did not beat around the bush with Chiang Kai-shek and said straight to the point.

    "You mean to retreat to Taiwan?" After listening to Yoshida Saburo's words, Chiang Kai-shek immediately understood what Yoshida Saburo meant.

    Zhang Qun had told him before that if he failed, there were only three ways to go: surrender, commit suicide, and retreat to Taiwan.  The last path requires strong support from the Japanese. As long as Zhang Anle does not want to offend the Japanese now, he will not attack Taiwan.  The reason why Zhang Qun said the last point was that the Japanese had contacted him at that time and expressed their willingness to use Taiwan as a base for the National Government.

    "That's right, it's Taiwan. Although Taiwan is just an island, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you can survive in Taiwan for a few years, it will not be difficult to counterattack the mainland in the future." Saburo Yoshida nodded.

    "But we still have nearly 150,000 troops. How long will it take before we can transport them? Besides, the navy of the Beijing government is not the same as in the past. It is not difficult to block the Taiwan Strait." Chiang Kai-shek is not so easy to fool.  of.  The 150,000 troops were transported by luck.

    "Haha, you are right. It is indeed not that easy to transport 150,000 troops, but it would be much easier if it were 20,000 troops. Do you want to transport all 150,000 troops to Taiwan? One seed can produce  It will produce many fruitful fruits. Of course, an army of 20,000 people can also develop into a powerful force. Isn't the current Northern Expeditionary Army developed on the basis of the Whampoa Military Academy?" Saburo Yoshida said about the situation of the National Government.  It still seems very familiar.

    "What you said makes sense, I will seriously consider it." Chiang Kai-shek nodded.

    "Mr. Jiang, I have to tell you seriously that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you agree, we will transport the Fujian First Army to Taiwan first before the Beijing government reacts. They will also serve as  The seed troops of the Nationalist Government's future army. Please believe us. With the help of our Empire of Japan, retreating to Taiwan is the best choice." Yoshida also knew that Chiang Kai-shek was tempted, so he said it without losing the opportunity.

    But this matter was indeed too big for Chiang Kai-shek.  He had to think about it seriously.

    After sending Yoshida away, Chiang Kai-shek found Zhang Qun.

    "Do you think the method proposed by the Japanese is feasible?" Chiang Kai-shek asked straight to the point.

    "This is only a temporary plan, not a lifelong plan. Now the reunification of the Beijing government has become an irresistible trend. Even if we really retreat to Taiwan, so what. No matter how we develop in Taiwan, we cannot catch up with the mainland. Even if  The Japanese say that they will help us counterattack the mainland in the future. However, Japan is not necessarily an opponent of the Beijing government now. If the mainland is allowed to develop for a few more years, the Japanese will be even less of an opponent. The mainland has a vast land, rich resources, large population, and far-reaching development potential.  It is not comparable to Japan and Taiwan. Once a war breaks out, Japan and Taiwan will not be rivals. What's more, I don't believe that the Japanese will have such good intentions. You and I have both studied in Japan. What does Japan mean to China?  You must be very clear about our attitude. Even if one day we can fight back, I'm afraid we will be Japan's puppets." Zhang Qun did not hide his thoughts and spoke out clearly.

    "You are right. The Japanese are indeed unkind. They did this to break us up. But in my opinion, they still underestimated Zhang Anle. Although Zhang Anle and I only met once, this person has a big heart.  Even the former president praised him highly. Even if Japan does not attack him in a few years, it will probably attack him first once his strength develops. At that time, we will still have to fight Zhang Anle even in Taiwan.  , If you fight early and fight late, you will be fighting. If you lose early, you will lose late." Chiang Kai-shek saw it very clearly.  He also knew that even if he agreed to the Japanese terms, he would not feel comfortable in the future.

    "What's your plan?" Zhang Qun heard Chiang Kai-shek's last words and didn't understand what he meant.

    "Let's have a decisive battle with the National Defense Forces. If we lose, we lose. If we win, there will be a chance of improvement. As for Taiwan, let's leave it to Zhang Anle to take it back!" Chiang Kai-shek said with a straight face.

    Beijing.  executive government.

    Zhang Anle stands on the map of ChinaLooking carefully at the front, China is about to face reunification.  The most important issue after reunification is construction.  One of the very important issues is the selection and construction of the capital.

    Although the current Beijing can be used as the capital, if we want to build in the current Beijing, we will face almost a plastic surgery for Beijing.  In later generations, Beijing left various sequelae after becoming the capital. As the city continued to expand, various contradictions became very prominent.

    Zhang Anle began to consider whether to move the capital to another city, leaving Beijing as a cultural center and leaving a complete Beijing city for future generations.

    He also knows that with the continuous advancement of urban modernization, many old buildings and facilities will no longer play a positive role. On the contrary, they will bring obstacles to the development of the city. The most obvious one is the city wall.  The city wall that was used as a defensive fortification in the past can no longer play its role under artillery fire. In peacetime, it will also become a shackles for urban development.

    But now that he can make the decision in this dimension, he still wants to do something for future generations.  Of course, this is just his wishful thinking, and he doesn't know if others will support him.

    He already has several plans in mind. Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Luoyang, and Wuhan are all good choices if you want to transform existing cities.

    Needless to say, Beijing is an old capital that has been hundreds of years old. Nanjing is also the ancient capital of several dynasties. It is located in the Yangtze River Basin with convenient transportation. It is also the junction between the north and the south, which is conducive to the balanced development of the north and the south.  Shanghai is now the most modern city in China. It is located at the estuary of the Yangtze River and is known as the New York of China.  Luoyang is located in the Central Plains and is also an ancient capital. It has convenient transportation and flat terrain.  Wuhan is almost located in the center of China, where three rivers meet, with convenient transportation. It is also the intersection of the east and the west, which is conducive to future control of the west.  Xi'an was also the capital of several dynasties. The Han and Tang Dynasties, two dynasties that are inseparable from the Chinese people until now, had Xi'an as their capital, and Xi'an was the seat of the Northwest District government before.  The infrastructure construction is relatively good, and Xi'an can also deter the northwest and the Soviet Union.

    This is something he can't make up his mind about. If he were to find a place to build a new capital, the difficulty would be relatively simple: there would be sufficient water sources to meet the people's production and living needs.  There is convenient transportation and a large enough plain to build a new city.

    But now is not the time to consider this matter. The next National Day ceremony is the most important thing.
