Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 908: Each has its own purpose

Tang Qiuli had just finished his visit to Germany and returned to Dingbian when he encountered the Munich conspiracy in the Far East initiated by Britain, the United States, France and Italy. This invisible evil wind, he had been dealing with this in the office all day.

It was late at night and he still couldn't sleep. His two wives had come over to urge him several times, but to no avail, so he had to go to bed first.

Tang Qiuli was very angry at what Britain, the United States, France and Italy did. This was a blatant betrayal of China's interests in exchange for the protection of the vested interests of the great powers in China. It could also be said to be a deliberate attempt to please the Japanese. In this dirty mess,

In the transaction, China, which is at the center of interests, has been collectively ignored. Chairman Chiang in Chongqing is nothing more than a bargaining chip that can be used to intimidate and induce.

Perhaps because he was too close to the German head of state, he expressed great favor, which aroused the vigilance of other Western powers. While carrying out Chairman Chiang and fighting with him, he achieved the purpose of divide and rule. On the other hand, the strength of the Japanese army,

In the eyes of the Western powers, it was not enough to carry the banner of the Republic of China. After all, Chairman Chiang was orthodox.

The Western powers were also happy to see China in a state of disintegration. In the final analysis, both Chairman Chiang and himself were victims in the eyes of the powers. In order to protect their respective interests, Tang Qiuli was the victim of bargaining with the Japanese.

What he didn't despise was the feeling of being used as a pawn, and his heart was filled with resentment.

Opening the window, the cold winter wind of the northwest Loess Plateau blows towards his face. A crescent moon, mottled tree shadows, Tang Qiuli's gaze, through the night sky, looking towards the distant Chongqing. Tonight, Chairman Chiang and Yi Qian in Chongqing

The staff may be dreaming of some kind of sweet dream. Looking north, in the cave dwellings of Yan'an, the leaders of the Communist Party of China may be staying up all night discussing countermeasures because of Chairman Chiang's unkind actions.

What made him slightly relieved was that he learned from Shen Jun's intelligence that the Germans were not involved in persuading the National Government to compromise and reconcile with the Japanese. Hitler completely placed the treasure on himself, and a coat

, gently draped on Tang Qiuli's shoulders, turning around, Mei Ting looked at her husband quietly.

"Sister Ting, aren't you asleep?" Tang Qiuli asked softly, putting his arm around his wife's shoulder. Mei Ting leaned over and nestled on his thick shoulder, "Xiaoxue fell asleep. She was tired from the journey.

"It's broken. I saw the light was still on in your study, so I came over to take a look. What's wrong?" Mei Ting asked.

Tang Qiuli shook his head gently. The evil wind set off by the four countries did not put too much pressure on him. He knew the current confidence of the Japanese. The Kwantung Army was already a dead move and could not stir up trouble in the north.

We must hope that Liu Tiehan's troops will not cause trouble in the Northeast.

Feng Jiwu's corps is in Shanghai and Li Honggang's corps is in Hangzhou Bay. The Japanese will have to be very determined to kick these two pieces of iron. It is hard to say whether they will have the courage to do so. Once the Japanese find out, Chairman Chiang will use

The Songhu and Hangzhou Bay areas expressed sincerity, but they did not get it, and it was inevitable to become angry.

The Japanese feel they have been tricked and will not give up. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing, the Pacific and Southeast Asia will become their next targets. Southeast Asia is the traditional area of ​​influence of the United Kingdom and the United States, and the British have the greatest interests.

, the Japanese, the British, and the Americans are at each other's throats, and this vicious battle is inevitable.

Tang Qiuli has absolutely no good impression of the British. The British's behavior towards allies and partners is despicable. Based on the historical records of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's encounter in Myanmar, Tang Qiuli is determined not to let it go.

The British are better off than this arrogant John Bull, a complete egoist.

What Tang Qiuli needs to do now is to destroy the secret negotiations between the Nationalist Government and the Japanese, and kill Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's intention of using the mediation opportunities of Britain and the United States to let the Japanese fight against him, and to drive out the tigers and wolves.

He forced the Japanese and British to fight against each other in Southeast Asia, burning the flames of war in the southwest and outside the country. He firmly occupied the greater Shanghai and Hangzhou Bay areas, and the prosperous Jiangnan area became his own.

.

This is a game. As long as you plan the situation in advance, accumulate strength, and wait for the key points to explode, you can make Britain, the United States and Chairman Chiang suffer a big loss. The Japanese will lose even more miserably.

In the south, the Japanese come if they dare. I hope they won't be too stupid. Tang Qiuli put his arms around Mei Ting's shoulders and said, "Let's go to bed."

Southwest, Chongqing, Chairman Chiang's official residence in Huangshan, late at night, Chairman Chiang has not rested yet, several close confidants and staff gathered together, apparently discussing confidential matters, Chairman Chiang's face did not look good,

Although last time, the Supervisory Council impeached Tang Qiuli, he deftly resolved it and won a lot of applause.

But Chairman Chiang did not believe it at all. He, Tang Qiuli, had no private dealings with the Japanese. He was a veteran in politics, and no one should take advantage of him. Therefore, this time, the ambassadors of Britain, the United States, France and Italy came forward to mediate with the Japanese.

Chairman Chiang had no objection to the reconciliation. He could push Tang Qiuli's forces to the front line of war with the Japanese without sending a single soldier. This was in line with Chairman Chiang's strategy of driving away tigers and wolves.

Anyway, the Republic of China is about to become the world of that young boy. What I, Jiang, have taken out are just two pieces of land. Although I feel distressed, it is still a better strategy. According to Chairman Chiang’s private and angry thoughts,

"You, Tang Qiuli, can make peace with the Japanese, but I, Jiang Zhongzheng, can't do it?"

But Tang Qiuli's order to withdraw the 87th Division to Nanjing for garrison made the old man feel very depressed. This was the team he left to Gu Zhutong to look after his family. Although Zhang Zhizhong was loyal to him, his loyalty could not be questioned.

But Wen Bai and Tang Qiuli's personal relationship was too close, so they had to change generals. The 87th Division left Shanghai, and Gu Zhutong was really a polished commander.

"Mother Xipi, what is this Tang Qiuli doing?" Chairman Jiang asked the people present glumly. After a moment of silence, Yang Yongtai, secretary-general of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, said carefully: "Chairman, in my humble opinion, I am humbled by my position.

, Tang Qiuli’s plan is to draw out the firepower to achieve the purpose of evacuating Mo San, creating favorable conditions for his troops to station in Shanghai and the Songhu area, so as to fill the vacuum of the withdrawal of our Central Army troops as soon as possible. "

Chen Cheng, the chief of staff of the Nanjing camp, nodded in agreement and said: "The humble officer thinks so too. According to the intelligence from the Military Command Bureau, several of Tang Qiuli's main regiments have already set off south, and their targets should be Songhu, the Hangzhou Bay area, and the south of the Yangtze River.

In other valuable areas, this move is very powerful, and we can take advantage of our Central Army's shrinking force to quickly penetrate."

Zhang Qun, secretary-general of the Nanjing camp, added: "If Tang's intention is realized, although the chairman's goal of sending Tang Qiuli's forces to fight directly with the Japanese is achieved, there will be endless troubles. We will lose Songhu.

As well as the Hangzhou Bay area, it has a great impact on the national government's finances. Moreover, there are also Japanese factors. If the Japanese requirements are not met, it will inevitably have a great adverse impact on us."

To put it bluntly, Chairman Chiang's plan to drive out tigers and wolves was to first give up Songhu and Hangzhou Bay, two areas that the Japanese had coveted for a long time, and then, in the name of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, order North China to

Tang Qiuli couldn't regain the lost ground even if he didn't want to fight. He was responsible for commanding the entire army.

But the tiger came out of the cage early and acted quickly. The Japanese wolf had not had time to take advantage of it, which disrupted Chairman Chiang's eagerness to implement the Eastern appeasement policy using Britain, the United States, France and Italy. The lion opened its mouth wide and tried to get more benefits to strengthen its strength.

Chairman Chiang was very depressed because of his wishful thinking in confronting the Japanese and Tang Qiuli, and also having to deal with the Japanese's troubles.

Should the Eighty-seventh Division withdraw from Shanghai? This is a problem that must be solved. Chen Cheng was a soldier, and he knew the mystery. He then said: "The Eighty-seventh Division must withdraw from Shanghai. This is Tang Qiuli's scope of authority."

In addition, there is no reason not to go to Nanjing to garrison. If Tang Qiuli attacks the division commander for disobeying military orders, wouldn’t we be even more passive?"

"Mother Xipi, let the Eighty-seventh Division go to Nanjing, give up Shanghai to Tang Qiuli, and let him fight the Japanese face to face." Chairman Jiang suddenly stood up and left.

In front of me, he said angrily, as if he was angry, and his dissatisfaction couldn't be more obvious.

It's just that this dissatisfaction is directed at Tang Qiuli, some of the people here, or the Japanese, Britain, the United States, France and Italy, maybe all, maybe not at all. It's just a way of venting powerlessness, leaving a few people behind.

The confidants and aides of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek stayed there filled with discomfort.

Japan, Tokyo, the Emperor's Palace, Emperor Hirohito is not idle either. The core members of Japan's base camp and cabinet gathered around the emperor. There is only one topic to discuss, how to use the opportunity of the four countries to mediate and reconcile with the Chongqing government of China to complete the Great Japanese Empire.

The ambition to conquer Asia, the ambition to drink from the Pacific.

After receiving the news that Britain, the United States, France and Italy intended to mediate the dispute between China and Japan, Hirohito was greatly inspired and felt like a cat scratching his heart. He saw a glimmer of light in the silent stalemate of the war against China, and started the war against China.

For more than a year, except for the Manchuria area they originally occupied, the Imperial Army did not occupy even a single piece of China's territory, but suffered huge losses. This was far from the original intention of launching the war.

After losing troops and generals, without gaining any benefit, Hirohito was extremely disappointed. The original great plans and goals had huge problems, all because of the emergence of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. Despite the disappointment, Hirohito was also reflecting on,

He knows his own family affairs, and Hirohito knows his own family background.
