Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

"hey-hey!"

Being praised by Duke Zhou, Jiang Haoran looked a little embarrassed, and smiled embarrassingly with his head scratched.

Zhou Gong continued: "You are right. This is a premeditated political storm. Its purpose is to use peace talks to pull Chiang Kai-shek from power. Although Chiang Kai-shek has far-sighted plans, he only focuses on us and you. He didn't even notice that the people around him had been planning on him for a long time, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity. The peace talks incident gave them an opportunity. After this sap, as long as you don't show up, it may be difficult for Chiang Kai-shek to stand up this time. Hey."

Jiang Haoran frowned, and asked suspiciously: "People around you? You mean Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi?"

Zhou Gongdao: "Yes, it's mainly the Guangxi family, but this time they not only joined forces with Zhang Fakui, Yan Laoxi, and Wei Lihuang, but also Chen Li and Chen Guo's two brothers are on their side."

"Ah, aren't their two brothers loyal to the Chairman? Why are they also on the same front as the Gui Clan?"

Jiang and Li have always cooperated with each other and fought against each other. One ruled the roost by force, the other unified by force, the other was to wait for opportunities to attack, and the other was to find faults and rectify them. This is no secret in the Republic of China.Historically, the chairman's three resignations were all related to Li Zongyan, but in the end Li Zongren did not gain the upper hand, and the chairman resigned three times and returned three times.The last time was relying on the support of the Chen family brothers. There has always been a saying in history that there is a "Jiang family dynasty and Chen family party".He also immediately understood why Zhou Gong said that it would be difficult for Chiang Kai-shek to stand up this time. If even the Chen brothers betrayed him, he would really be hopeless.

Zhou Gong didn't think Jiang Haoran so far, and replied calmly: "I don't know if you still remember, as early as the Xi'an Incident, the Chen family brothers disregarded Chiang Kai-shek's safety and insisted on using force to resolve this matter. Yu Huai, Li Zongren used this incident to drag them into trouble."

Jiang Haoran hadn't come during the Xi'an Incident, so of course he wouldn't be so clear about the secrets of the Republic of China period, but in order to cover up, he still pretended to have suddenly realized something.

Zhou Gong continued: "So, they are very well prepared this time. Although you have good ability and influence, you have no political foundation. If you rashly support Chiang Kai-shek or have the idea of ​​​​a superior position, you will end up with nothing but dust." , but thus stood on the opposite side of them, making the undercurrent at the bottom of the water come out of the water, even if it won't be beaten to death, but this balance will definitely be broken, which is very unfavorable for confrontational warfare. Therefore, whether it is for the benefit of the individual or the nation, this time you can only follow the trend and make plans when the time is right. In fact, it is beneficial for you that the chairman of the committee goes down, it is like peeling bamboo shoots , the chairman is the tough shell, and Li Zongren is the fragile bamboo clothes. Li Zongren helps you peel off the toughest shell. Will it be much easier for you to peel off his bamboo shoots? ?”

"This is called mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind!" Jiang Haoran replied casually, admiring him deeply. Zhou Gong explained these complicated political issues very well in a few words, and his own way of thinking was far from reaching this level. Yes, it doesn't matter if you don't admire it.

"Yes, that's the reason!" Duke Zhou laughed.

"However, Duke Zhou, everyone knows that I am the chairman's nephew, and the chairman has always treated me well. If I don't go back now, it seems unreasonable, right?"

"Well?????? Then find a reason not to go back."

"But this reason is not easy to find?"

Duke Zhou smiled and said, "It's easy to find. According to reliable information, the island army has mobilized ten more divisions into Southeast Asia, and two of them have gone to Burma. You can create a news that the island army intends to attack Yingduo. You have to advance Hit Mandalay."

"Hit Mandalay?" Jiang Haoran exclaimed, which was contrary to his strategic intention.

Zhou Gong waved his hand, as if he had seen through Jiang Haoran's mind, and said with a smile: "I know your intentions, you don't want to advance the war too quickly, and hope to take advantage of this opportunity when the rice army has to give great assistance to quickly develop Myanmar's industry , and grow your own team at the same time, but the two are not in conflict. After the capture of Mandalay, you can still spend a lot of time planning the next battle plan. Moreover, there are many benefits to fighting Mandalay in front of you. First, it shows that You are unwilling to accept the original intention of the peace talks. It is also a powerful attack on the turmoil of the domestic peace talks, which can greatly increase the enthusiasm of the people to resist Japan. Second, let the Mi army see the hope of quickly cleaning up the Southeast Asian island army, and stimulate them to deploy troops to the Pacific as soon as possible. The battlefield. Third, the expansion of the territory is very beneficial to the development and stability of Myanmar as a whole. Once the island army loses Mandalay, they will hardly have any illusions in Myanmar, and their key defense lines will be released. In Siam and the Pacific Ocean, it can no longer pose any threat to you. Fifth, a sea transportation line can be opened from Chittagong to Maundu, which is very beneficial to alleviating the domestic material shortage."

Zhou Gong's remarks instantly disintegrated Jiang Haoran's original thinking pattern, and his thinking suddenly became clear. He immediately clenched his fists, waved and said, "Okay, let's hit Mandalay!"

Duke Zhou nodded in relief, took a sip of tea from the teacup on the coffee table, and said, "Brother Ziqian, what do you think of Chiang Kai-shek's peace talks?"

Jiang Haoran was taken aback for a moment, as if he was a little surprised by Zhou Gong asking this question, thought for a while, and replied: "As far as the current situation is concerned, although the island army is at a strategic disadvantage, its strength still exists. Even if we gather the whole country, we can mobilize I am afraid that it will not be known who will die in a year or two, and the shortage of supplies is still our flaw. Therefore, from the chairman's point of view, foreign enemies are invincible, internal troubles are increasing day by day, and the two evils will win each other. At least, peace talks are the best way out. Even if there is only a truce of one or two years, at least it is enough to deal with internal troubles. Once the internal troubles are eliminated, he will not have to worry about the future if he fights a foreign war. But doing so is harmful to the entire anti-fascist war. The situation is extremely unfavorable, and it also casts a heavy cloud over China's future. The Soviet Union is very likely to perish under the attack of Germany and Japan. In the next step, Germany and Japan may once again target China. We completely offended Mi Ying this time, and it may not be realistic to get their assistance again. This means that we have to face the German-Japanese joint attack independently. It's almost impossible."
