Chapter 268 Only Zhang Xuewu
However, compared with the ZB-26 modification and MG34 modification of the Rehe Legion Baotou Military Factory, which use advanced weapons manufacturing technology in Western Europe and other machine guns, after continuous firing, the reentry spring under the barrel will be heated due to the heating of the barrel, which will affect the normal work of the weapon. The shortcomings of the work are also very obvious. The Rehe Legion is expanding its army on a large scale, and the weapons it produces are basically equipped by itself. There is no way for the Supreme Military Committee of the National Government Axe.
Li Zongren thinks much more than Bai Chongxi and He Yingqin. Although the fifth war zone is a miscellaneous army of local faction, only the Tang Enbo Army is the main adjustment division of the Central Army equipped with two Soviet weapons.
Chiang Kai-shek is still very happy about Rehe's move to transport all the light weapons of Soviet aid to the headquarters of the Central Army in Wuhan and equip a small number of them with local faction troops. Chiang Kai-shek has also seen the shooting demonstration of the DP28 Jegya Liaofu light machine gun, although it has not been changed to light as light as the ZB-26 produced and designed by the Rehe Legion. A machine gun is as light and fast as a sharp weapon.
But in the current international situation, it is already very good to have weapons and equipment, and it is also picky to compare with the Rehe Legion? The Rehe Legion has its own arms production system in Baotou, including small step-by-step ammunition, grenades, 150mm high-explosive grenades, fighter jets, tanks, and heavy artillery! The No. 21 Arsenal in Yucheng can now only produce a part of the Mauser rifle and Maxin heavy machine gun. Compared with the production and scale of Rehe, it is really not the same, which makes Chiang Kai-shek feel sour.
Zhang Xuewu has a huge underground financial empire to transfuse blood for him, and he planted opium in Rehe and sold it back to the European and American markets. This huge income was once eye-eyed by Chiang Kai-shek, but at that time, Zhang Xuewu's wings were already full, and Zhang Xueliang was his backing, after the Double Twelve Incident. After successfully hanging up Zhang Xueliang, Chiang Kai-shek, who completed the first step of cutting the vassal, was about to turn to Zhang Xuewu. He found that Zhang Xuewu not only picked the biggest advantage from the Double Twelve Incident at this moment, but also pulled up an army that made the Kwantung Army watch out at night, so Chiang Kai-shek's plan was another Postponed.
After a while, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly said to He Yingqin, "Respect! Before this time, I sent Kong Xiangxi and Jiang Baili to Germany to mediate. You went to Shanghai to negotiate with me this time. I want to match you with a good assistant. Do you think it's okay?
He Yingqin, who was used to nodding his surname, just wanted to nod and agree at this moment. Suddenly, he turned around and was shocked into a cold sweat. He Yingqin and Chiang Kai-shek drank blood wine and made a poisonous oath to worship brothers. Jiang was a brother, and He was a younger brother. Chiang Kai-shek once said in those years: My world is your world. With me, Chiang Kai-shek, there is you, He Yingqin! He Yingqin also swore to the sky: I, He Yingqin, am loyal to my righteous brother, and I will live and die. Although I am heartbroken, I will not regret it!
However, all this has completely changed its taste in the 17th year of the Republic of China. Jiang He is intimate on the surface and brother, but secretly they still suspect each other. In fact, the relationship is delicate and murderous! However, after the Double Twelve Incident, Chiang Kai-shek still dared to use He Yingqin. In fact, He Yingqin also understood that Chiang Kai-shek saw through the main problems, that is, you, He Jingzhi, are a big-headed and small-footed person. To put it bluntly, He Yingqin did not have his own iron troops. Most of the people gathered around He Yingqin were gou. No matter how much Chiang Kai-shek is, he is not afraid. He has the energy to turn his hands over, and Chiang Kai-shek also shows his mind in it. On the other hand, it is also a disguised demonstration, so that all those who want to oppose him can weigh it!
So He Yingqin has always been very cautious and careful when it comes to the issue of contacting Zhang Xuewu, that is, it is important, and it should not be overly public!
This time, Chiang Kai-shek wants to recommend himself a candidate for the deputy leader of the armistice negotiation group. He Yingqin can also think of Zhang Xuewu when he closes his eyes, because old Jiang has been wary of Zhang Xuewu for a long time. He Yingqin knows Chiang Kai-shek too well. In Chiang Kai-shek's own heart, he can't tolerate anyone except himself. .
Zhang Xuewu's sitting position can be said to be absolutely unexpected by He Yingqin, and even more unexpected to Chiang Kai-shek. In the land of poor mountains and rivers, he was able to operate a paradise. He did not hesitate to build four fortress cities and establish a reading air force system and organization. It can be said that the Rehe Army is now wearing the Central Army. The military uniform holds the central government's sage, otherwise it has nothing in common with the Central Army from equipment to establishment to tactical characteristics. If Chiang Kai-shek, an elite soldier, doesn't want to hold it directly in his hand, then he is not Chiang Kai-shek.
He Yingqin could not let Zhang Xuewu be his deputy commander. The lesson of the last time was very serious. He brought the machine gun into the venue, but also followed the command knife of the other general before leaving... If Zhang Xuewu is allowed to go, it would be non-stop negotiations. It would be to rekindle the war. Besides, if Zhang Xuewu left Rehe, and all his previous efforts were equivalent to Fu Zhiliu, so He Yingqin took a deep breath and said, "Commission, everyone can only not Zhang Xuewu!"
"Oh?" Chiang Kai-shek recalled that it was the last time He Yingqin refused him. He Yingqin looked at Chiang Kai-shek and said, "Commission! Zhang Xuewu's department fought cleanly in Nanjing, especially the provisional first mechanized division that his military and political department had just written off the number. Our troops participated in the battle of Nanjing and suffered a lot of casualties. The whole city of Nanjing is now in ruins. During this period, our army made several supplements through Jiangbei, and at least 150,000 officers and soldiers of our army were killed in the battle. In Nanjing City, there are also nearly 200,000 casualties in the Japanese army. The most important thing is that the military committee's plan to reinforce Nanjing has not yet been implemented. The generals and soldiers defending the city in Nanjing are quite complaining a lot!"
Chiang Kai-shek was slightly stunned and said, "Didn't I ask Germany's neighbor's fifth war zone to reinforce it? And have you also sent reinforcements from the Fifth Army, the Eighty-ninth Army, the Ninety-second Army, the Ninety-eighth Army and the Hundredth Army?
Li Zongren looked at Chiang Kai-shek, who was obviously pretending to be stupid, and said helplessly, "Committee, I am unable to deal with the enemy in the face of the fifth war zone. Where are the troops to reinforce Nanjing? The Central Army of the Fifth Army, the 89th Army, the 92nd Army, the 98th Army and the 100th Army are all newly formed. How much combat effectiveness is there? Most of them are adapting to the Soviet-style weapons and equipment they have just installed. The main force of the Fifth Army, the 200th Division, is still receiving equipment in Wuhan. Except for the two armies in Guangxi and the main force of the Sichuan Army, they have arrived at the reserved position, but there is no equipment, weapons and ammunition supplies. The combat effectiveness is almost negligible. The reinforcements of Nanjing are all on the map! "
Chiang Kai-shek, who was stunned, was stunned for a while and hesitated for a while and said, "I don't know much about this situation. The battle in Shanghai is really too tragic. We have suffered great losses. It is my idea to stick to Nanjing. Now it seems to be correct. It is also the main force of the Central Army. After these troops fight out, It is really difficult for the government to come up with elite troops to reinforce Nanjing in a short time. Why don't you do this! Although Zhang Xuewu's temporary first mechanization division suffered all casualties, the revocation of the temporary number is a normal move of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, so let's give the establishment of the honorary first division to Rehe! It's also a kind of compensation. I, Jiang Zhongzheng, am not the one who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
Chiang Kai-shek finally decided to set up an armistice negotiation delegation headed by He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi as the deputy, that is, he went to Shanghai to participate in the armistice negotiations, and officially notified Zhang Xuewu's department to withdraw from Nanjing City within seven days to receive troops to transport the wounded.
What annoys Chiang Kai-shek most is that the guard cabinet will focus on a new round of diplomatic offensives on Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic and other countries. Everyone can see that he is recovering his loss in international politics. At this moment, the British and French political axes have long been swallowed up by appeasement of the countercurrent, the most powerful American politics. The axe takes the first attitude of the economy and adopts the policy of watching the fire across the shore. There is no need to exert more strength from the Japanese side. As for Germany and Italy, they also intend to form an alliance with the Asian empire in the East, and Germany, through the ambassador to the big island in Berlin, conveyed to the Japanese side that they can join the German, Italian and [***] agreement. In the department.
Although this aspect is also anxious about joining the agreement, the Easterners are different from Westerners after all. They say that they can afford to play deeply. Besides, joining such an agreement will inevitably anger the interests of Britain, France, the United States and other Western countries, and the price paid by Germany and Italy is only to stop military assistance to China. In my opinion, it is far from enough. I said that what I want is to prevent all assistance from third countries to China, and even diplomatic missions must break away from the Chinese regime. I say that I want to completely kill the national political axe from material to moral.
And what Chiang Kai-shek is most worried about is precisely this point. With the expansion of the Sino-Japanese war, it is bound to make Germany have to make a choice among the two strong countries in the Far East. From the beginning, no one wants to offend Germany. The weapons are still sold as usual, and the military materials are still sent, as long as the payment from China's political axe is timely, but in order to alleviate it. My contradiction, the Berlin side and the decision to change the senior members of the advisory group from active officers to retired officers have not only given me face, but also maintain the relationship with China.
However, the Japanese fleet with the world's largest surface naval fleet is the largest bargaining chip, and what the Germans lack is such a huge and very deterrent fleet. Historically, the Germans have suffered countless losses from the British Royal Navy fleet, so the Germans attach great importance to the fleet.
It is said that my patience is what Chiang Kai-shek is most worried about. After a lifetime of politics, Chiang Kai-shek naturally knew that he was playing a strange trick. He said that there could not have been an ally like Germany, but China could not!
