Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 373 Xi’an Incident: Nanjing Drama within a Drama

On December 17, five days had passed since the Xi'an Incident. The Japanese expected that the Central Army, the Northeast Army, and the 17th Route Army, which the Chinese people were worried about, would engage in a fierce battle outside Xi'an. The decisive battle did not happen. Instead, they took early action.

All units of the Central Army withdrew to their stations far away from Xi'an.

The troops of the North China ** Division actually play an isolation and buffering role. Although the North China ** Division is affiliated to the Central Military System, it is a force with independent command authority. It is with this force that

Playing a decisive role, there was no war in Xi'an. The name of the division commander Tang Qiuli gradually came into the public eye and attracted the attention of the Chinese people.

The most anxious ones are the Japanese, who want to go into battle naked and kill Xi'an with their own hands. It would be better to stew Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Xueliang, and Yang Hucheng in one fell swoop. However, their North China garrison unit closest to Xi'an was defeated by the 29th Army and

The troops of the North China Army Division were tightly restrained in their respective defense areas and unable to move.

The Japanese base camp absolutely believed that they had transferred troops from North China to the direction of Shaanxi. The troops of the North China Army Division would dare to raid their home base where they had been operating for many years. Other Japanese officers may not have the guts, but the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli was

They will definitely do this, and they will do it crazier than they imagined.

Emperor Hirohito was more anxious than any Japanese cabinet member or senior military general. Emperor Hirohito, who was well versed in Chinese culture, but also peeked at his teacher's property, knew how to take advantage of it. In the past few days, when he woke up the first time in the morning

In a word, I just asked the Imperial Attendant, is Xi'an in China ready?

However, what awaited him was a very disappointing answer. Emperor Hirohito was furious, had dry stools, and suffered from hemorrhoids. He was already over 40 years old, and his face was covered with acne again.

Even on the imperial bed, when she was having sex with Empress Liangzi, all she shouted was: "Fuck, do it hard, I'll do it!" She tried her best to fuck her thin body, and fucked Empress Liangzi's plump vagina.

, the scratches turned red and purple, making Empress Ryoko think that His Majesty the Emperor had committed some evil act, so she used force on her body.

If the military fails, then the letter will be sent. Following the last press conference, Japanese Cabinet Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yosuke jumped out and issued a second statement, "If the Nanjing National Government wants to seek cooperation with the rebels Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng

Compromise, the Japanese government has reason to believe that this is a manifestation of extreme hatred towards the Japanese Empire. The Japanese government will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. Even if it devotes all its efforts to the matter, it will still restore the impact of this matter."

This is a naked threat, clearly telling the Nanjing National Government that Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng are openly promoting hatred and anti-Japanese ideas. You and Zhang Yang can't do anything without fighting. If you don't fight, the Japanese Empire will fight you.

Not to mention, although Matsuoka Yosuke's words did not scare a few people, they were a great encouragement to the powerful figures in the Nanjing National Government who had a natural affinity for the Japanese. This was also a signal that you can fight

, the Empire of Japan fully supports you.

As a result, the Nanjing government, which was originally in chaos, became more undercurrent. For a time, the shouting and killing became louder and became the mainstream idea within the National Government. Among them, the pro-Japanese faction headed by the Minister of Military Affairs and Political Affairs He Yingqin shouted the loudest.

The loudest shouts.

Not only that, he also made real military preparations. He Yingqin sent several orders to the central army departments around Shaanxi to immediately surround the city of Xi'an. The orders he sent were, without exception, politely dismissed by commanders at all levels.

Rejected.

The reason is that they are affiliated with the Northwest Bandit Suppression Headquarters and have no direct affiliation with the Ministry of Military Affairs. The troops can only take action after receiving orders from the Northwest Bandit Suppression Headquarters. Otherwise, they will be mobilizing troops without authorization. This is a serious crime.

Let me tell you clearly, we don't dare.

These Central Army commanders also understood that the current situation in Xi'an is not clear. Chairman Chiang has not lost his life. If Minister He's order is given, once Chairman Chiang escapes from danger and is held responsible for the matter, the military circle will

Or maybe the bigwigs in politics have found a scapegoat. It's possible.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang is on top, and it is logical to obey the orders of the General Suppressor. What's more, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang's tens of thousands of troops are placed around Xi'an. Isn't that obvious? It's just to guard against that reckless guy. I don't know the importance.

Advancing and retreating, they exchanged fire with the Xi'an side and injured Chairman Chiang's life.

He Yingqin understood why the troops of the Central Army did not carry out his orders. The Northwest Suppression Commander-in-Chief still had the power to issue orders to the troops. Only that young boy Tang Qiuli was left, who held the position of deputy commander-in-chief.

Damn it, God has no eyes! Why wasn't this kid arrested together in Xi'an? What a great opportunity. With the support of Japanese friends, sending troops is justifiable. But this kid ruined my good deeds. Could it be that he was born to be mine?

A stumbling block? He Yingqin wanted to strangle Tang Qiuli to death, but there was no chance.

In view of the serious differences of opinion within the national government on whether to send troops to attack Zhang Yang in Xi'an or to negotiate with him, it was decided to convene a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to choose how to handle the Xi'an Incident by independent voting.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng jointly sent a secret message to Tang Qiuli, asking for their opinions on how to deal with the aftermath of the Xi'an Incident. It seemed that these two brothers really had no idea and asked what was going on.

He called Zhang Yang back and just exchanged a few words, "I believe that Chairman Chiang must never be killed. This is not the original intention of the second brother. If necessary, we can ask a third party to come forward and Xi'an can be properly solved without using weapons."

Despite unexpected events, the second brother also achieved his wish."

The words cannot be made too clear. The third-party force mentioned here is a subtle reminder to Zhang and Yang. With their wisdom, it is not difficult to guess which force it refers to. According to the trend of history, at this time, ** should

Come to the front and show off your unique style.

At about six o'clock in the evening, Mei Ting sent an urgent telegram from the Secretariat of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China Central Committee. The content read: "It is scheduled to be held in Nanjing at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, that is, on the morning of December 18.

A meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the CPC was held in the conference room of the National Government Building to discuss the Xi'an incident. The Standing Committee of the Tang Dynasty must attend the meeting on time."

Tang Qiuli secretly cursed, why are all the offices of the National Government based on the same ethics? There will be a meeting tomorrow and the notice will be announced tonight. Do you think I live next to the National Government Building? It is thousands of miles from Peking to Nanjing. Is this deliberately not allowing me to participate?

What?

Fortunately, I have a plane. Speaking of which, I really have to thank Boss Dai. Not to mention, he helps people, and he really helps people with ideas. I guess his method of killing is as neat as his method of helping others, and he is never sloppy.

Mei Ting looked at Tang Qiuli's indignant expression, thoughtfully poured him a glass of water, and then went to prepare things for going to Nanjing tomorrow. Mei Ting knew that this meeting was both public and private, and Tang Qiuli had to attend it no matter what.

, all she has to do is prepare everything carefully, and then accompany him to Nanjing.

The plane flew over the North China Plain, Shandong Peninsula, and the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, and landed at the Nanjing Military Airport.

The only people who came to the airport to greet Tang Qiuli and his party were a secretary from the Secretariat of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee and two cars. The scene was far different from the scene that Yang Yongtai greeted him in Luoyang last time. According to the convention, one person in power

Members of the Central Standing Committee of the Party also have a respected status and should still have normal scenes. This is called political treatment.

Tang Qiuli sneered secretly, this was a warning to him. There are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains who can be called kings. Now in Nanjing, why should he be the master of someone else? He has the final say. He has ruined my three-thirds of an acre of land, but he has not taken it.

If you take it seriously, what can you do?

When Tang Qiuli entered the conference room, the meeting had already started for a while. It seemed that they had just gone through several rounds of quarrels and debates. The atmosphere in the room was a bit tense and depressing. Everyone had a look of uneasiness on their faces.

A normal blush is obviously the result of anger.

There were only about sixty people who were qualified to serve as members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Except for the members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China who were detained in Xi'an, the rest all attended the meeting. Tang Qiuli was the last one to arrive. He quietly found someone.

Sit in an inconspicuous corner.

Looking at all the people, there was not a single familiar face. At the head of the oval-shaped conference table, sat a man in his forties with a fair face and a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He wore the rank of general and was very elegant.

A general who has excelled in martial arts.

This is probably He Yingqin, right? Look at his appearance, he is quite stylish, but he has taken care of his stomach, but it is not good. It is true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.

Tang Qiuli came in without attracting anyone else's attention. He was wearing a suit today and he was really young. Others thought he was the secretary of that big shot. However, Mei Ting, who was following Tang Qiuli, attracted quite a lot of attention.

Attention, some members of the Central Standing Committee frequently paid attention to Mei Ting.

However, he was quickly attracted by the content of the meeting. The host of the meeting knocked on the table and asked Minister He to continue speaking.

As expected, Tang Qiuli guessed it correctly. The person sitting in the boss position was indeed He Yingqin.

He Yingqin pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and glanced at the audience. His eyes swept across Tang Qiuli's face. He obviously did not expect that this young man, Tang Qiuli, his archrival who he wanted to strangle to death in his dreams, would be there at this moment.

, his eyes were shining brightly, and he had an intimidating aura, showing the power of a powerful figure in the political and military circles.

"Members of the Central Standing Committee, five full days have passed since the Xi'an incident. The fate of Chairman Chiang and his colleagues is uncertain. Zhang Yang's attitude is very arrogant, but the government has not taken any action and is still wasting time on boring discussions. What do you want to do?

Um!"

At the last word, He Yingqin suddenly raised his voice, which sounded a bit eerie and a little oppressive. All members of the Standing Committee were speechless.

"When dealing with rebellious ministers and traitors like Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, everyone can punish them. The best way is to attack them with force. There is no other way. This creates a situation where the army is suppressing the territory. Zhang Yang's rebels, taking advantage of the power, must have frightened the people and the morale of the army.

It was unstable and had to be returned to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek safely."

"In order to put pressure on Zhang Yang, I ordered the air force to dispatch all fighter planes to bomb Weinan, which is close to Xi'an. This created the momentum of the army to press the border and undermined the confidence of Zhang Yang's rebels. You have no objections. We will attack Zhang Yang with force. It has been decided, and a meeting will be held later.

A military meeting to discuss the details of the armed crusade."

In fact, He Yingqin did not give other members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee a chance to speak. Tang Qiuli frowned. The direction and topics of the meeting were beyond his expectation. He Yingqin simply spoke out. So why hold this meeting?
