Wu Xiaoliang didn't react for a while. "What, the Japanese and the Soviets are in conflict, how is this possible, where are they." As he spoke, he left his chair, came to the curtain on the east wall, and pulled it open with force, revealing a curtain in front of everyone. A huge map of East Asia. Zhang Xueliang followed closely and drew a circle along the Heilongjiang River in Northeast China. Finally, he clicked on a spot and said, "This is it. This is great. If the Japanese and Lao Maozi work together, the pressure on our front line of the Yellow River can be resolved." Invisibly, it is better for the two of them to start a big fight like they did more than 20 years ago. "Zhang Xueliang is very interested. Lao Maozi is not Chinese. Although the Russo-Japanese War was defeated miserably, it is said that the Soviet Union is now. People are no longer what they used to be, and their national defense strength has far surpassed that of the Russian Empire. If this war really breaks out, there will be a good show. "It's best if we add fire to both of them. Only when they burn up can we take advantage" Zhang Xueliang was very interested, but suddenly he realized that Wu Xiaoliang was standing in front of a huge map of East Asia, looking at the northeastern part of the country with his eyebrows. , the cigarette in his hand was smoking "What, brother Wei Zhong is not optimistic about the war between Japan and Russia." The location of this conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union is not elsewhere, but at the intersection of Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers in Khabarovsk, here It is the border between Suidong and the Soviet Union. According to the treaty signed by the two parties, the Soviet Union has the right to station troops in the cities along the Ussuri River. If the war continues to burn, will it affect Suidong? And the Soviet Union has hundreds of thousands of people in Suidong. The square kilometer of land has been coveted for a long time. If we can use one trick to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, wouldn't it be Speaking of Suidong's ability to survive in the cracks to this day, it is because Wu Xiaoliang's later experience concluded that the rise of the Soviet Union was inevitable, so it was better to just do it Taking advantage of the fact that Soviet Russia was still at a disadvantage in fighting against the White Army, it negotiated an alliance with it. Sure enough, in order to end the civil war as soon as possible, the Soviet Russia at that time hurriedly signed a draft agreement with the then Suidong local government, recognizing the Suidong The Eastern Governor Military Government exercises administrative power over Suidong on behalf of the Republic of China and guarantees that both sides will not invade each other. However, this draft treaty actually had huge loopholes. For example, the Soviet government at the time only recognized the Suidong Military Governor's administrative power over the land south of the Ussuri River in writing, but it did not claim sovereignty over this land. The ownership is unclear, and they have not acknowledged their territorial claim to give up this land. Therefore, once the current situation changes, the Soviets will be able to regain this land. After listening to Wu Xiaoliang's heavy statement, Zhang Xueliang's originally high interest immediately felt like a deflated rubber ball, and he said slumped: "The loophole is so big, why did you still contract with it in the first place?" Wu Xiaoliang Weiran. A sigh: "In the first version of the treaty, it was indeed proposed to clarify the ownership of sovereignty, but perhaps due to the fate of God, Denikin in Soviet Russia was severely damaged by the Soviet Red Army, and the situation was greatly reversed. The Soviet Red Army was in When facing Kolchak in the Far East, he was much more calm than before. As a result, the bargaining chips with us also increased, and he had no choice but to compromise and sign this treaty. " Zhang Xueliang said with great difficulty after a long while: " Brother Wei Zhong wants us to try our best to mediate the conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union." Wu Xiaoliang crossed his arms and frowned. "It's not easy to make a conclusion at the moment, but the expansion of the conflict between the Soviet Union and the Japanese is indeed detrimental to us, and it will have more serious consequences domestically." After Wu Xiaoliang's reminder, Zhang Xueliang seemed to suddenly wake up Turning around, I suddenly realized it and slapped my thigh hard. "Is it possible that it will also affect the National Reconciliation Conference?" Although he said this as a question, he clearly had the answer in his heart. Wu Xiaoliang nodded, "Indeed." Then he turned to the adjutant and ordered: "Give it to him immediately. Suidong sent a telegram and told Fang Qidao that there were two things that must be prepared for a rainy day. One is to improve combat readiness to prepare for the Soviet Union's successive invasions, and the other is to exercise restraint as much as possible and not to start a war lightly. " Wu Xiaoliang. At this time, there is a great feeling of powerlessness. The country itself cannot protect itself, so how can it have the extra strength and experience to assist Suidong? What's more, last year's war with Japan was only possible with the support and assistance of Suidong with the whole province's strength. victory achieved. Zhang Xueliang suddenly slapped his thigh again and said: "If the conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union expands, they will inevitably mobilize troops from North China to the Northeast, and the pressure on our Yellow River line will inevitably decrease. If we take the opportunity to break through the Yellow River defense line, we can unite with Yan Xishan and we will not worry about North China breaking through." Ah. " Wu Xiaoliang didn't express his position. It's not that he hasn't thought about Zhang Xueliang's method. It's just that it's too risky and seems like a big gamble. At present, the situation is deadlocked. He can still use this plan to wait for opportunities, but if there is a war, Now that it has begun, our own preparations are insufficient, and the domestic forces are intertwined and hostile to each other. The uncertainty about where the war situation will develop will become even greater. "What Han Qing said is good, but first of allHowever, the National Reconciliation Conference must be successfully held, and all parties will form a National Front Alliance with unified guns to attack the outside world. They may take the opportunity to counterattack North China and possibly fight. " Wu Xiaoliang and Zhang Xueliang turned around at the same time, and saw that the person coming was Yan Xishan. "Uninvited guest, uninvited guest, don't blame Wei Zhong and Han Qing. " Yan Xishan's sudden visit and this statement undoubtedly gave Zhang Xueliang a shot in the arm, and the previous depression was swept away. " Yan Baigong came at the right time, with the strong support of Shanxi , will definitely succeed in one battle. " Wu Xiaoliang invited Yan Xishan to sit on the sofa in the south of the room. As the whole person sank into the soft sofa, the physical comfort and inner anxiety formed a strong contrast in his mind. "Yan Baigong, this is I must have already known about the Soviet-Japanese conflict. I just didn¡¯t know whether Nanjing could still come to Han as promised. " Yan Xishan's nose twitched, and he waved his big hand vigorously, "Come, it will definitely come. If there was no conflict between the Soviet Union and Japan, someone might have hesitated a little longer. In this case, the internal pressure would not be reduced. If the situation is reduced, the domestic war-weary public opinion towards the outside world will not weaken because of this, and may even intensify. At this time, the pressure and risks of unanimous external support are reduced, and Chiang will be very happy to cater to public opinion. ¡± It was such a word that awakened the dreamer, and Wu Xiaoliang felt that he could finally see the light of day. If the united front is successfully formed, then the counterattack in North China mentioned by Zhang Hanqing is not impossible, but it will require Suidong to face huge pressure. Can Fang Qidao withstand the pressure and preserve Suidong's sovereignty? Suddenly, the adjutant opened the door and came in excitedly: "Chiang Zhongzheng's plane has arrived over Wuhan. "
