Age of Conquest Reborn

In Chongqing in the southwest, even in August, the heat is still unbearable at night. In Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's Huangshan official residence, late at night, the lights in a room are still not extinguished. In the huge office, the lights are bright, and the people

Chiang Kai-shek, Chairman of the Government Military Commission and Chairman of the National Government, frowned slightly and looked a little uneasy as he read a top-secret document submitted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The content of this top-secret document submitted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is exactly what the German Ambassador to China Taudemann conveyed to Tang Qiuli, who was making trouble in the Northeast, about the Japanese request for negotiation. Regarding the Japanese request for negotiation, Chairman Chiang did not

Isn't it surprising that after many years of dealing with the Japanese, there are still few things to negotiate? Moreover, the Japanese are accustomed to using this method. When fighting goes smoothly, they have to negotiate. When fighting doesn't go smoothly, they still have to negotiate.

However, in Chairman Chiang's memory, he suffered a lot of losses when negotiating with the Japanese, but took very few advantages. Anyway, when the Japanese asked for negotiations, they never suffered losses. If they did not take advantage, it would be like having their ancestors' graves dug up!

However, this time the Japanese requested negotiations, which was unusual. According to the intelligence from Dai Li's Military Control Bureau, Tang Qiuli was very successful in fighting in the Northeast. He made the Kwantung Army, which had been entrenched in the Northeast for decades, miserable.

The last main force of the Kwantung Army has been surrounded in the western Liaoning and western Manchuria areas. Judging from Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's experience, there is no suspense in the Northeast War and the Japanese will definitely lose!

The young man who led his troops into the Northeast with only tens of thousands of troops and had to be taken in by himself, in just a few years, has rapidly grown into a behemoth with nearly three million troops, a complete army, navy and air force.

He has become a person that he cannot control and control. In today's Chinese political arena, this person's light has overshadowed his own. Everyone in the world knows Tang Qiuli, but I, Jiang, are rarely mentioned!

"Is raising a tiger a danger?" Chairman Jiang sighed and thought, feeling very regretful in his heart. If it had been easy to deal with him at the beginning, how could it be so difficult to shake him today? Fortunately, Tang Qiuli put all his energy outside the country.

Fight with the Soviets. Fight with the British, but this time it is in the Northeast...

His eyes once again fell on the top-secret documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and his inner uneasiness came from this!

Chairman Chiang's inner uneasiness stems from several aspects. First of all, he is a little angry and very dissatisfied with the Germans. After all, I, Jiang, am still the head of the National Government, and you Germans can send messages to the Japanese.

No matter how you thread the needle, you can't bypass me, the Chairman of the National Government, right?

Secondly, Chairman Jiang was worried that Tang Qiuli was hiding from himself what kind of deal he had reached with the Japanese on the Northeast issue. The most likely issue was related to the sovereignty issue in the Northeast. In this case, the problem would be serious. He was acquainted with Zhang Hanqing back then.

With righteousness and profit, all kinds of means were completed, and then this stupid young man was persuaded to change his flag and banner, and the National Government gained formal unity.

He also sat on the throne of the first person in the National Government. As for the subsequent fall of the Northeast, it was out of necessity. The factors were complicated, but legally, the Northeast was always under the jurisdiction of the National Government. Chairman Chiang was most worried about Tang Qiuli.

In the Northeast, after reaching an agreement with the Japanese, starting from scratch and creating a government that rivals his own, it is possible with Tang Qiuli's current power and strength, and the possibility is very high!

Tang Qiuli was leading his troops overseas, and Chairman Chiang was not worried no matter how hard it was. But when it came to the Northeast, he had to worry. At the same time, he was also surprised that based on the current situation in the Northeast battlefield, the Japanese defeat was a foregone conclusion.

, with Tang Qiuli’s style and consistent way of doing things, it is impossible to accept the fact of negotiating with the Japanese, even if the Germans come forward!

The Japanese are not fools. They have been fighting with Tang Qiuli for many years, and the possibility of negotiation is very slim, but they still do it. So, what is the confidence of the Japanese? What are the conditions? What is Tang Qiuli's attitude?

These three issues are all a fog. In Chairman Chiang’s mind, there is a bottom line. No matter how much Tang Qiuli makes trouble in the Northeast, as long as he does not establish another branch, it will be fine. In other words, the current National Government and himself,

There is no way to stop Tang Qiuli from doing anything, but if these three problems are not solved, he will not be able to sleep!

After thinking about it, Chairman Chiang rang the bell on his desk. An attendant in a Chinese tunic suit walked in briskly and stood with his head bowed without saying a word. "Go and notify Dai Li of the Military Command Bureau. He will be here soon."

Come see me at the official residence!”

The attendant disappeared silently. Chairman Chiang was sitting on a high-backed chair, drinking boiled water one after another, and his mind was full of random thoughts. More than half an hour later, Dai Li, deputy director of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the Chongqing National Government, ghost

appeared in Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's office.

Judging from the look on his face, the director of the Military Command Bureau, who is highly regarded by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, is in good spirits. After some internal fighting and suppressing and squeezing out the power of the Central Command, the military command has a tendency to dominate.

Information provided

, mostly liked by Chairman Chiang, but Dai Li also knew that the old man was a suspicious person by nature. He not only used himself, but also prevented himself from taking advantage of the opportunity to become bigger. He only gave himself the position of deputy director of the Military Command Bureau, but never corrected this problem.

Above, you can see it.

Dai Li, who often visited the Chairman's residence in Huangshan, knew very well that when Chairman Chiang summoned him late at night, he must have something important to explain. No need to ask, the old man would naturally have something to explain.

Chairman Chiang looked at Dai Li who was standing with his head down with cold eyes, and spoke in a slow tone with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent: "Yunong, Tao Deman sent a message to Tang Qiuli on behalf of the Japanese, requesting negotiations on the Northeast War situation.

Do you know?"

Dai Li's heart tightened, "Sure enough, the old man summoned him for this matter. Originally, this was a small matter, but it involved Tang Qiuli, that daunting behemoth, which was very unusual.

The top-secret documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot escape my own eyes and ears, and I don’t know that they are blatant lies!”

"Principal, the students know it!" Dai Li replied succinctly. He knew that the old man didn't like long-winded people.

"What do you think about this matter?" Chairman Jiang asked leisurely. This sentence is a bit confusing and unclear, and it is very difficult to answer. Besides, given Dai Li's position and occupation,

, nor are they candidates to participate in important matters of the central government. Think tanks, such as Zhang Qun and others, should be consulted on this matter.

But since the old man asked, he had to answer. In just a blink of an eye, Dai Li had countless thoughts in his mind and replied cautiously: "Principal, the students believe that Vice Chairman Tang wants to negotiate with the Japanese on the Northeast issue.

, it is not groundless, otherwise, the German Ambassador to China Tao Deman would not have that telegram!"

"The most critical thing at the moment is to find out what bargaining chips the Japanese offer in this negotiation, and..." Dai Li paused, hesitating to speak.

"Huh?" Chairman Jiang made a sound from his throat unhappily. Just this sound made Dai Li sweat all over.

"Also, what is Vice Chairman Tang's attitude?" Dai Li gritted his teeth and replied. From the bottom of his heart, Dai Li would rather deal with Emperor Hirohito of Japan than get into any trouble with Tang Qiuli, but the words forced him to

For this reason, I have to say that I also know what the old man is thinking, so I am just worried!

"Yes!" Chairman Chiang was very happy. Among the think tanks and civil and military officials around him, if he were to say that he could understand his intentions best and knew what he meant when he coughed, it was Dai Li. With Dai Li and

The Military Command Bureau, having become much better informed, said, "Then go ahead and do it, but remember one thing, don't let any information leak out!"

Dai Li knew that he had taken on two difficult tasks. One was to get the bargaining chips used by the Japanese in the hands of the Germans, and the other was to figure out the person who made his scalp numb just thinking about it.

Vice Chairman Tang’s attitude.

The first thing is easy to handle. The German Embassy in China has its own spies. The Germans are almost transparent in front of them. The most difficult thing to handle is the latter thing. Thinking of trying to deal with that behemoth.

Tiger Beard, Dai Li's throat felt dry and a chill ran down his spine. The tentacles of the Military Command Bureau had touched all walks of life in the military and political circles of the Nationalist Government, except for the independent division system, which he neither dared nor could touch.

The Director of the Investigation Division of the Independent Division, Shen Jun, and the Director of the Intelligence Division, Yu Deshui, were doing similar work to himself. However, Dai Li considered these two people to be the most difficult colleagues he had ever encountered in his life. Shen Jun

Fortunately, he had met him once, and his file was included in the information of the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Bureau, so he knew a little bit about it, but Dai Li knew that the little information in the Military Command Bureau was not even close to Shen Jun's details.

The most troublesome thing is Yu Deshui, the missing head of the Intelligence Department. Up to now, the information about this person in the archives of the Military Command Bureau is still blank. I don’t even know what he looks like. If I want to know about Tang

Qiu Li's thoughts and plans were at least to touch this Vice Chairman, who could defeat a heavyweight military and political official in the government with just a little effort, and even the old man couldn't do anything about it.

Dai Li didn't even dare to think about using secret agent methods. The core system of the Independent Division was impenetrable. His formidable colleagues Shen Jun and Yu Deshui, and the terrifying methods, capabilities and work efficiency of the Independent Division's Investigation Department and Intelligence Department.

,

Dai Li believed that if an agent from the important military command bureau appeared next to Tang Qiuli, there would be no possibility of hiding. Once Vice Chairman Tang knew that he wanted to get to know him, the consequences that would follow would probably be devastating to the old man.

Can't even afford it?

Of course, these words and difficulties cannot be said in front of the old man. When Dai Li walked out of the chairman's residence, he was still worried about how to figure out Tang Qiuli's thoughts and plans, and his heart was full of this difficult problem.

I was so busy doing my errand that I lost my footing and tumbled down the steps.
