Chapter 376 Chiang Kai-shek's Decision

Zhang Xueliang knew that the Soviets seemed to be dressing up with new tanks and selling their old tanks all over the world. However, it was very helpless that the performance of Soviet tanks in the Soviet-Finnish War was really unsatisfactory, so there were not many buyers. The Soviet army had 16,000 light tanks and armored vehicles to sell, but the northern temporary national ax He was only willing to buy it at the price of scrap steel. Zhang Xueliang didn't expect Zhang Xuewu to buy more than 6,000 vehicles silently? What a terrible deterrent this will be!

In fact, Zhang Xueliang forgot a very critical question, that is, Zhang Xuewu's original intention not to expand the scale of armored forces? One is the oil problem, the other is the maintenance problem, and the other is the personnel problem! These three problems restrict the size of Zhang Xue's armed armored troops.

Cultivating a qualified armored soldier requires at least junior high school culture and two years of intense training. The surname of the iron horse medium-sized main battle tank is indeed extraordinary, but it is not as simple as the T-34 tank. Soviet tractor drivers can drive tanks, but how many people in China have seen tractors? The national conditions are different, so even with a large number of T-34s, it is still difficult for Zhang Xuewu to find enough drivers, so most of the TB series tanks he bought in the Soviet Union may be modified or directly used for return. The Soviet Union lacks foreign exchange, while Zhang Xuewu has money!

Zhang Xueliang came by a special train, but when he left, he was escorted by a special plane, and there were 48 falcon fighters escorted by them. All the fighters escorted were marked by Zhang Xuewu's command of the Flying Tigers in Nanjing. When the plane group passed Xuzhou to refuel and went to Wuhan, Zhang Xuewu suddenly instructed the group to pass over Nanjing!

Before arriving over Nanjing, 22 Type 9-6 ships took off from Shanghai went to intercept. As a result, the escorted falcons were hit 17 to zero. Among them, Lin Tianming, the captain of the escort squadron, shot down five, and the achievement was the title of ace pilot!

After the group hovered at a low altitude over Nanjing, many people in Nanjing recognized their familiar but strange Flying Tigers logo! This small air force that defended China's airspace in Nanjing for seventy-seven days, and finally almost completely destroyed came back? What does this mean? Lieutenant General Johnson, commander of the Joint Force of the Organization of Nine Nations, looked at the fighters hovering in the air. He clearly knew that it was Zhang Xuewu's fighter. Johnson said to his adjutant with great emotion, "Vincent, I'm afraid our days in Nanjing won't be too long. Zhang Xuewu is an extremely crazy guy! There are only unexpected things in this world, but there is nothing he dares not do.

After Zhang Xueliang returned to Wuhan with his mission, he immediately had a secret talk with Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek would never let go of his power. Chiang Kai-shek did not believe Zhang Xuewu's words about sweeping the national political axe for three months, because I also said so, but he said that I am now shrinking in the northeast and Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. District, the National Revolutionary Army is indeed not the opponent of Zhang Xuewu's troops, and Zhang Xuewu has so many tank armored forces and an absolutely dominant air force. Chiang Kai-shek also hesitated!

Zhang Xueliang conveyed all of Zhang Xuewu's suggestions to Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek was also slightly stunned by Zhang Xuewu's proposal. The national political axe of the north and the south and the various parties formed a joint political axe and became the president himself?

Chiang Kai-shek slowly took a breath. Now more than 80% of all the weapons, ammunition and military supplies needed by the National Revolutionary Army are supplied by Zhang Xuewu's Baotou Industrial Base and the Northwest Industrial Base.

So Chiang Kai-shek also knew that they were not qualified to negotiate with Zhang Xuewu at all. The American political axe and the British and French political axe were unwilling to intervene in mediation. The Soviets, who were trapped in the mess of the Soviet-Finnish war, maintained the so-called neutrality. It was said that I also seemed to have seen some opportunities in the Soviet-Finnish War, and hesitated to work with Zhang Xuewu several times. In the battle, it was said that under the premise of pain, I also began to load 31 tons of Type 4 chariots, and completely stopped the construction of two giant battleships and transformed them into aircraft carriers, but the predetermined name of the ship was not changed. It was still Yamato and Musashi, the two largest aircraft carriers in the world.

It is said that Zhang Xuewu is also very helpless in terms of naval strength. His air force does not have the ability to attack sea targets, or whether it is the BF-109 series or the falcon, or even the skyfire under development, it is not suitable to serve as a torpedo aircraft, and Zhang Xuewu does not have a suitable torpedo. Ships used to attack the Japanese army.

After careful consideration, Chiang Kai-shek thought that Zhang Xuewu's method of excluding Wang Jingwei and others from the administrative system of overseas civil affairs seemed to be very feasible. The only difficulty was that Song Ailing's husband Kong Xiangxi, Chen Guofu, Chen Lifu and others were difficult to deal with. One of the Chen brothers was in charge of a province in Jiangsu. And it controls the Central Bureau of Statistics and Investigation. The Central Bureau of the People's Republic of China and the military has been fighting in the open and secretly. The Central People's Republic of China has been changed to the National Bureau of Homeland Security, and the Generals have been changed to the General Bureau of National Intelligence. Chiang Kai-shek believes that such a treatment can still be accepted by both parties.

The only problem is Song Ailing. You should know which sister made many of the bad ideas of Mrs. Song Meiling. Song Ailing has enough influence to affect Song Meiling, which is an unknown aspect, so it will certainly cause Song Ailing to rebound.

And replace almost all the chairman of the provincial party committee, clean up the local warlord forces, and unify the army of the whole country. The military expenses are borne by the national finance, not directly drawn by the provinces.

Chiang Kai-shek's secret representatives Bai Chongxi, He Yingqin, Qian Dajun and Zhang Xueliang flew to Chengde and began to negotiate in detail on the balance of all aspects. Externally, the national political axe is ready to use peaceful means to solve the political axe dispute between the north and the south. Of course, Zhang Xuewu knows that Chiang Kai-shek is a person with great face, so he must give it. Face must be given, and also to paralyze Wang Jingwei and others. Wang Jingwei, who jumped up and down before, once performed a palace drama for Chiang Kai-shek and wanted to take Chiang Kai-shek to resign together, so Wang Jingwei touched Chiang Kai-shek's bottom line.

Chiang Kai-shek is now facing an opportunity to return Zhang Xuewu to his command again, and to kick Wang Jingwei and those low-key clubs. He will become the president of the United Political Axe, and incorporate all the Baath Party and other parties into a new political axe, which is for Ming Cook. It's a big step, but is it suitable for China? Chiang Kai-shek did not know that he knew that even if it was suitable, it would be a matter of the future, because according to the constitution of the United Political Axe, countries in a state of war were given the supreme decision-making power by the president until the war was declared to end! Chiang Kai-shek is very satisfied with this. Chiang Kai-shek also believes that Zhang Xuewu, who can make such a concession, is sincere and cooperative, and the seats in the Executive Yuan are proportionally elected by public elections.

For some outstanding elites within the non-Komintang and other parties, Chiang Kai-shek loves, fears and hates them! And one-third of the positions in the coalition axe should be given to the Ba'ath Party and other parties.

Chiang Kai-shek is a little resistant to the entry of members of the Ba'ath Party and the G Party into the army, because Chiang Kai-shek's clearest thing in his life is that the barrel of the gun is the right to speak, which is the guarantee of the regime!

In terms of reforming the party, Chiang Kai-shek also has his own plan, but according to Zhang Xuewu's plan, the armed forces of the whole country will be under the command of the president and the supreme commander. However, the decision made by the president is only a strategic decision of the country as a whole, which requires the approval of more than 70% of the members of the Executive Yuan to pass.

The Ministry of National Defense will be under the jurisdiction of the Military Order Department, the Military Political Department, the General Staff Department, the General Logistics Department, the General Equipment Department and the General Political Training Department, which are responsible for specific operations. In other words, the troops are the state, and all intelligence agencies and secret service organs belong to the state. The political party is just a temporary manager, and the ability of the manager determines Who is the vote in the hands of the voters? Because the first two political axes are war axes, the president has the right to appoint and remove two consecutive terms, and the president can be re-elected for up to two consecutive terms, and the third term will automatically expire.

Chiang Kai-shek also knew that if he refused Zhang Xuewu's final suggestion, the army of the temporary political axe in the north would begin to march to the whole of North China. Zhang Xuewu, who has established an overall industrial system in the northwest, has a 41st division level, of which the 35 new young army are 25,000. With a staff of more than a thousand people, nearly one million troops can be used in front-line operations!

According to Dai Li's report, for four consecutive years, almost every year, more than two million young and middle-aged people poured into Zhang Xuewu's actual control area with the flow of refugees who fled. Therefore, Zhang Xuewu, whose population base has soared, sent troops to directly recover Shanxi and had pointed the front to Shaanxi. Zhang Xuewu's land policy was very difficult for Chiang Kai-shek. However, Chiang Kai-shek had to admit that this policy did have great confusion and even made ordinary people crazy.

The role of millions of elite soldiers, the well-equipped Zhang Xuewu's headquarters is prepared for the war, but at this moment, I have huddled in the Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou areas. The northeastern Japanese army has built a defense line in Jinzhou, and even from the domestic maritime coastal defense heavy artillery to the Jinzhou defense line. It is said that I have been afraid of Zhang Xuewu, and his new life The latest chariots produced have arrived in Shanghai and Northeast China by sea, and I have also begun to use the chariots on a large scale.

Chiang Kai-shek is very clear that it is very dangerous for Zhang Xuewu to maintain such a large-scale army. If it hadn't been for Zhang Xuewu's establishment of a party army that fought for faith and doctrine, it would not have been a problem of extreme poverty.

Therefore, accepting Zhang Xuewu's advice is Chiang Kai-shek's only choice, otherwise, the war will start, not to mention the president, I'm afraid that Jiang will take refuge overseas and exile, which seems to be his only choice!
