Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In this situation of internal and external troubles, the Kuomintang government, which was unable to prevent the Kuomintang party from launching an attack on the Japanese army in the south, soon proposed another negotiation between the Kuomintang party and the Kuomintang party after the Anxi Incident.  Compared with the previous time, the Militia Corps was not even qualified to participate in negotiations, but this time it became the host of the talks between the two sides.  We began to talk about the proposal of forming a coalition government put forward by the Kuomintang, but we heard that the Kuomintang only sent Li Ren, the vice chairman of the Kuomintang, and the Minister of Defense. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was still unwilling to come to Shijiazhuang in person to participate in this tripartite meeting.  of talks.  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to come back, or if I really don¡¯t want to see Deng Chenggong and Taizu.  Faced with the Kuomintang¡¯s somewhat unconventional request for peace talks, Deng Chenggong, after receiving the reference information provided by the militia intelligence unit, knew that the talks were just proposed by some peace-seeking factions in the Kuomintang.  The people who are really in power under the Kuomintang government have no intention of peace talks at all.  For those people, losing status and power is simply impossible.  Therefore, it is impossible for them to bow their heads until the last moment.  So why did they come up with peace talks?  "Nothing else, just seeing the militia corps vigorously supporting the Kuomintang's military and political reform in the liberated areas made the Kuomintang a little jealous.  In addition, the situation of World War II is no longer as one-sided as it was at the beginning, because the American Army has entered the European battlefield and successfully resisted the German attack, and began to unite the Allied forces to launch a counterattack against the German army.  And with the Soviet Union holding a large number of German troops aside, the balance of victory and defeat in World War II has gradually begun to tilt toward that of the British and American coalition forces.  It was precisely after seeing the dawn of this victory that Britain and the United States provided military assistance selflessly.  It's completely broken now.  Without foreign aid, the Kuomintang has to support millions of troops and the government.  And no taxes can be collected in the ruled areas.  As a result, the Kuomintang completely lost its fire and had to start looking for foreign aid.  Nowadays, there is no second choice for the rich people in China who have funds except the militia corps.  For the militia corps, they made a lot of war profits during World War II.  Not only was the small treasury of various warlords almost completely emptied, but Deng successfully poached a lot of wealth from the warring states such as Britain and the United States.  It can be said that the militia corps can develop rapidly in this way.  It is inseparable from the fact that he has sufficient development funds.  Especially since this year, although the volume of goods purchased by Britain and the United States has declined, the volume of orders placed by the Soviet Union and Germany for the militia corps is growing rapidly.  In both countries, except for some large weapons and equipment that are all produced by themselves, almost all small individual weapons and equipment and military supplies are purchased through the militia corps.  Thus.  The wealth of the Soviet Union and Germany also quickly concentrated in the militia corps.  From the sight of ships flying the flags of neutral countries docking at the now open Tianyin Port, one can imagine how prosperous the business of the Militia Corps is now.  Even a large part of the foreign aid the Kuomintang received from Britain and the United States fell into the hands of the militia corps.  Because now in China, the only one with sufficient food supply is the Militia Corps.  The South has experienced war.  Not to mention that people are displaced everywhere.  Even if they could grow food, they would be looted by the Japanese army.  "If the ** army wants to purchase food, it will undoubtedly be difficult to buy it even if they have money.  Since they don¡¯t want to cause public dissatisfaction in the United Front Area, the Kuomintang can only spend money like the Militia Corps, China¡¯s food director, on purchases.  Therefore, it is said that the Militia Corps is now the Minister of Finance of China.  No exaggeration at all.  Even in today¡¯s United Front Zone in the south, ordinary people have no choice but to do it.  As a last resort, in addition to the little devil's gold scroll, the legal tender or other currencies printed by the Kuomintang must be collected.  The people did not recognize it at all. Instead, the RMB printed by the Militia Corps Bank was circulated privately, and was recognized by businesses and people.  Under such circumstances, even if the Kuomintang wants to collect some private wealth to tide over the difficulties, you can imagine the difficulty.  With Chairman Chiang¡¯s temper, he would not agree to this peace talk under any circumstances.  Li Ren can be regarded as the vice chairman of the Kuomintang and the leader of the Guangxi warlords.  Make it clear to him directly, or the current Kuomintang Ministry of Finance will provide bonuses to solve the problems of the troops' living and military expenses.  Or we can only negotiate peace with the militia corps. Even if we can't negotiate peace, we still need to borrow some money to tide over the difficulties.  Otherwise, the current one-million-strong army of the Kuomintang will soon be in a situation where they will not even have food to eat.  By then, let alone fighting the little Japs, it would be a matter of course for the troops not to rebel against their leaders.  What makes Chairman Chiang even more speechless is that in the Jiangsu Province campaign launched by the Kuomintang¡¯s New Fourth Army, many were originally active in the local ** troops.  It turned out that a large number of deserters joined the Xinsi Army, and the local general even ordered a few people to be shot.  The result was that those generals were shot in the dark by their soldiers.  As a result, whether their troops in Jiangsu Province can even preserve the garrison there, let alone stop the Kuomintang's advance, is a matter of concern.  It is this kind of military and political system that is about to lead to the Kuomintang, which has been established for the longest time in China and dominated the overall situation of the War of Resistance.??, there is an imminent danger of capsizing.  Once it really reaches that point, I'm afraid that no matter how much Chairman Chiang wants to save face, it will be much better than losing everything, right?  What¡¯s more, with the rise of the People¡¯s Party, many party and government leaders in the Kuomintang, whose hands are stained with the blood of People¡¯s Party martyrs, may start to worry that the People¡¯s Party will settle accounts for their future after taking power.  What makes some senior military and political officials of the Kuomintang feel most troubled and helpless is that the original militia corps implemented a policy of treating the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang equally.  However, as the Kuomintang stabbed them in the back several times, the relationship between the Militia Corps and the People's Party became increasingly strong, and even the habitual deployment of troops from the two parties began to occur.  ¡°If the People¡¯s Party and the Militia Corps truly achieve a military-political union, then the Kuomintang will really have nothing to do with them.  Therefore, it is undoubtedly appropriate to propose peace talks at this time. Firstly, it expresses the Kuomintang Party's desire to form a new government. Secondly, it simply hopes to fulfill some of their demands through such peace talks.  ¡°And according to Li Ren¡¯s words, no matter which party governs the new government in the future, he does not want the Kuomintang to completely disappear from the Chinese political arena.  Therefore, after Li Ren reached an agreement with the vast majority of the neutral peace negotiators who longed for peace and knew that their situation was dangerous, Chairman Chiang reluctantly agreed to the first round of peace negotiations.  As Li Ren, who also has high prestige in the Kuomintang and has the support of his direct troops, as Chairman Chiang is unwilling to attend such talks, he will represent the Kuomintang in the trilateral meeting.  He quickly agreed without even thinking about it.  In his words, this kind of thing can somewhat increase his prestige in the Kuomintang and China.  Chairman Chiang is about to gain face, so let¡¯s see how much this face is worth.  Is it possible to survive this round of crisis just by relying on face?  When he arrived in Shijiazhuang with the delegation, Li Ren learned that the two leaders of the People's Party and the Militia Corps did not come to attend the talks because they had something to do.  You know, Chairman Chiang's approach undoubtedly cast a shadow over the meeting that might have been difficult to negotiate before it even started.  In fact, Li Ren knows very well that even if the Kuomintang does not come at this time, the People's Party and the Militia Corps can definitely advance to the south step by step.  Until the old base areas of the Kuomintang are completely turned into liberated areas of the People's Party bit by bit.  By then, the liberation of the entire country will be truly completed, but the Nationalist Party will really have nothing to do.  Unless they really want to become rich people abroad with the funds they accumulated while working in politics and the military after the liberation of China, they will have to face this hurdle no matter what.  Sometimes, Li Ren wonders what Chairman Chiang thinks.  He did not believe that the shrewd Chairman Chiang could not see the political situation that even he could see.  At this time, what is the use of displaying the names of national leaders?  From the fact that most of the agencies dispatched by countries around the world in China choose to be in the militia liberated areas, we can see that these foreign governments.  In a sense, we are already optimistic about the future development of the militia corps.  Therefore, when the time comes, the Militia Corps proposes to form a coalition government, mainly promoting the People's Party, which has different political ideas from the Kuomintang.  There is no need to think that all foreign forces will enthusiastically support it. By then, the Kuomintang may not even have any countries to support it.  ¡° Anyone with such a discerning eye can see the overall situation in China. Li Ren doesn¡¯t believe that the chairman of the committee can¡¯t see it.  What is even more worrying for the Kuomintang is that among the top leaders of the militia corps, it can be said that members of the Kuomintang still account for the vast majority.  Logically speaking, the militia corps should not be disgusted with the Kuomintang.  And it is precisely because Chairman Chiang believes that the militia corps is challenging his prestige as the head of state that the two parties are now like this.  Therefore, when he came here, Li Ren still called General Feng, Yan Laoxi, Marshal Zhang and other senior officials who served in the militia corps.  I hope that the other party can take into account the friendship that we all belong to the same political party and try to obtain some favorable conditions for the Kuomintang in this meeting.  It was only when the Kuomintang delegation arrived in Shijiazhuang that they heard that the representatives of the Militia Corps were headed by Xu Mingyuan, the political director, and that the Kuomintang Party was headed by Vice Chairman Zhou.  Li Ren knew that most of them could only make suggestions, and they might not be able to negotiate any substantive agreement.  If something goes wrong, Li Ren's wish to borrow money from the militia corps may come to naught.  It is also clear that Deng Chenggong is a strong figure who accepts softness but not hardness. This time the Kuomintang took the initiative to propose a tripartite talks, but no one who could make a decision came.  This is undoubtedly a bit unethical for the People's Party and the Militia Corps.  Fortunately, when they arrived, Xu Mingyuan, a landlord, still gave Li Ren, the vice chairman of the Kuomintang Party, some respect and hospitality.  But when they walked into the negotiation room and saw the representatives of the People's Party and the Militia Corps having a lively conversation, they knew that their worries had become a reality.  Whether this meeting can reach an agreement is really not optimistic!  (To be continued.)
