Chapter 192 Xi'an Fengyun
However, Zhang Xuewu's plan also needs a certain degree of cooperation from the German authorities, because since 1935, German political axes have begun to collect Jewish industries. Most of the rich Jews have already escaped from Germany. As written in history, 80% of Jews have no assets. After being looted by the German political axe, it was even more impoverished, and European countries did not welcome such poor people to come to their own countries, so most of the Jews in Germany faced the fact that they had no choice but to die.
There is no doubt that European countries are very realistic. Zhang Xuewu heard that a European resettlement voucher has sold 20 kilograms of gold. Money can no longer be used as a currency for exchange in this place. The only hard currency is gold and jewelry and so on.
Looking back on later generations, Zhang Xuewu really can't figure out why Germany has given enough tolerance to emigrate, but so many Jews stay in Germany and wait to die? Zhang Xuewu didn't understand at all. Now Zhang Xuewu knew the inside story. It turned out that Jewish immigrants were based on money, which was basically the same principle in any era. Rich people had long avoided it, and the poor who had no money could only wait to die.
Now these poor people also have one more way out. Zhang Xuewu wants all the technicians, technicians, teachers, engineers, all kinds of scientific researchers, etc., and Rehe Chengde's policy is so loose that Jews can take care of their families. According to their contributions, they can be given different treatment or enjoy a certain course. The policy is tilted to the degree.
Zhang Xuewu does not want to give the idea of establishing a country and various extensions to the Jews, but Zhang Xuewu also knows that re-establishing the country in Jerusalem is the greatest wish of the Jews, but can this wish be realized today after a sudden change in history? Zhang Xuewu didn't know, but he also realized that if he wanted to use Jews to serve himself, Zhang Xuewu knew that the biggest cake he drew was the dream of giving the Jews the dream of building a country.
However, it is the biggest criterion for Zhang Xuewu to handle Jewish affairs. 1935 was a very critical time for Zhang Xuewu. Germany's assistance to China has reached the so-called limit. In fact, Zhang Xuewu's heart is for the construction of the Rehe Legion. It can be said that it is hard work, because Rehe has now become the frontier of a country in China.
However, in terms of Nanjing political axe, except for Wang Jingwei, Chiang Kai-shek's impression of Zhang Xuewu is still relatively good, because Zhang Xuewu reports on major and minor matters in a timely manner. Chiang Kai-shek is very satisfied with Zhang Xuewu's timely report, but the Northeast Army transferred to northern Shaanxi to suppress bandits. The record annoyed Chiang Kai-shek.
Although Zhang Xueliang avoided the crisis of the Battle of Rehe in 1933, Zhang Xueliang did not seem to be satisfied with this. The key is that the salary and ordnance of the Northeast Army have always been restricted by the Nanjing Supreme Military Commission and the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. Zhang Shaoshuai, who never knew how much money he had, can be said at this moment. It's very difficult, and Nanjing Zheng Axe organized the Northeast Army into four A-type armies, reducing the number of Northeast Army by more than 30,000 people. Moreover, the provincial defense brigades and reclamation troops of the Northeast Army left in the northeast were almost lost. If there were no Rehe Zhang Xuewu's arms and weapons, I'm afraid that Zhang Xueliang would not be able to stabilize these four armies.
But the three armies of the Northeast Army have almost become bandits and bandits in Shaanxi. Zhang Xuewu has been paying attention to the signs of Zhang Xueliang's various activities. In fact, there are many inevitable results in history. Even if Zhang Xuewu wants to interfere, he can't interfere, because even the Double Twelve Incident in history Among them, the firm claims of the Soviet Union and its Communist International are to recognize China's only legitimate political axe as the Republic of China. The only leader is only Chiang Kai-shek, and only Chiang Kai-shek can lead China's resistance. No one can change it. Therefore, once Zhang Xueliang launches the Double Twelfth Incident, Zhang Xueliang I will definitely be alone at home and abroad. What position will I be in then?
Zhang Xuewu actually prepared a variety of plans. The first is to send the falcon and sharp blade of his special paratroo team to Xi'an to rescue. The second is to destroy Yu and enter Shanxi to clean up Yan Xishan, and then directly disarm Zhang Zuoxiang's army left behind in Shanhaiguan, and directly divide the troops into Shaanxi in three ways to equip the heavy army. The armored forces quickly broke into Xi'an and cooperated with the special paratroopers to carry out rescue.
However, Zhang Xuewu can only say that he doesn't care about Zhang Xueliang's behavior. In fact, Zhang Xueliang's surname is not allowed for Zhang Xuewu to give him key surname advice or advice.
In 1936, Zhang Xuewu was grabbing the last time with me, because his Kwantung Army had 42 Class A divisions. In addition to the 22 mobilization divisions in China, there were also a reserve army of nearly 20 divisions. It can be said that I had carried out the first-level mobilization of international standards.
It is said that I am making the final preparations for the invasion of China. With the large-scale expansion of the Japanese army, the [***] emotions in China and Taiwan and Taiwan have been fully ignited. For Zhang Xuewu, my large-scale incitement in China is actually the eve of preparing to launch. There will never be so-called justice and wrong in war. Justice, only interests are the real meaning of war. Soldiers shed their blood to strive for greater living space and occupy and plunder more resources for the country and the nation. This is also the value of the existence of soldiers. The truth of survival of the fittest is more applicable to the law of international national survival.
When Zhang Xuewu cut the ribbon for the completion of the seventh 50,000-ton blast furnace newly built in Baotou Iron and Steel Factory, the Intelligence Department made a detailed report on the situation of the Northeast Army in Shaanxi. Zhang Xuewu felt very headache about this report, because the information he could get was probably put on Chiang Kai-shek's desk for a long time. Zhang Zhang Xuewu thought that what Xueliang did was more to express his dissatisfaction with the Nanjing political axe. The military pay problem of the Northeast Army has been abolished in repeated battles. The first and fifth division, the first and second 20th division, and the first and twenty-nineth division, the Northeast Army was withdrawn from the number of three divisions at once, and no one would be happy. It is normal to defeat the war, but the withdrawal of the troop number is a big problem.
Chiang Kai-shek, located in Nanjing, was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Northeast Army had no record in the northwest of suppressing the Communist Party and the information summarized in all aspects with signs of communicating with the Communist Party. The secret letter was reased with Wei Lihuang as the commander-in-chief of the northwest suppression.
In December 1936, Chiang Kai-shek was ready to go to Xi'an to suppress the array in person. He attached great importance to Chiang Kai-shek's last blow to suppress the bandits. However, before leaving, He Yingqin unexpectedly said that Zhang Xueliang was already very unreliable. He suggested that he should transfer Zhang Xuewu's troops to Shaanxi to suppress the bandits, but Chiang Kai-shek believed it. Ren Zhang Xueliang thought that he was just deceived by the annihire, but there was no other problem in his "small things, shrewd and uncertain."
However, Chiang Kai-shek finally made two-handed preparations, calling Chen Cheng, Wei Lihuang, Jiang Dingwen, Zhu Shaoliang, Chen Zhu Zhuzhu, Chen Zhu, Chen Tuoyuan, and more than a dozen divisions of the 25th Army to advance west along Longhai Road, making plans to replace the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army, but It is a big taboo for soldiers to change the generals. Chiang Kai-shek was not sure about his command of the Northeast Army, so he hesitated. As for the transfer of Zhang Xuewu's first army to suppress it, Chiang Kai-shek did not consider it at all. Although the first army was well equipped, the Japanese Kwantung Army, which was stationed in the northeast, was even more covetous. Chiang Kai-shek was not in a hurry to fight with It is said that I started a war. Because the time is not ripe, the reorganization plan of the 60 divisions in China has only completed less than ten divisions, and the rest of the ministries are still within the scope of sorting.
In Chiang Kai-shek's opinion, China is far from having the strength to turn against him. First of all, the ammunition and weapons hoarded in China are not enough to supply 20 German mechanicists for two months. Some of the weapons and ammunition produced by Suiyuan Baotou Arsenal are transported to Nanjing reserves, and the three heavy artillery brigades belonging to the Rehe Army. The two brigades are stationed near Nanjing, and Chiang Kai-shek still trusts the troops nominally affiliated to the Supreme Military Commission.
For the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army, which were unfavorable to suppress bandits, Chiang Kai-shek first summoned officers above the division of the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army alone, but did not summon Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng.
Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek arranged the so-called secret oracle leakage incident, but the oracle leakage was not announced in a formal way. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to give Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng one last chance.
Zhang Xueliang, who was suspicious, had a secret meeting with Yang Hucheng. Yang Hucheng suggested that it would be better to arm Jiang and seize the emperor to order the princes according to his previous proposal! Force Jiang to resist!
And [***] Ye Jianying and Liu Ding reported Zhang Xueliang's anxiety and uneasiness to Zhou Enlai, and specifically analyzed the situation in the northwest.
After several times of crying with Jiang, there was no effect, and he was ordered to make a decision to suppress the Communist Party within three days. Otherwise, after the ultimatum of the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army were transferred from the northwest, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng decided to launch military advice!
At the time of the outbreak of the Double Twelfth Incident, Song Meiling, who was attending a dinner party in Shanghai, suddenly broke the red wine glass, and the bright red wine splashed everywhere. Song Meiling hurriedly recruited Song Ziwen to study countermeasures, and sent a secret telegram to Zhang Xuewu to inquire about his attitude and position. After all, Zhang Xuewu held the people in his hand. The most elite force of the revolutionary army.
In the early morning, after the restless Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng learned that they had captured Chiang Kai-shek and detained Chen Cheng and other dignitaries, they immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and then contacted [***], but [***] also had internal debates and different opinions on this, especially domestic international aspects.
Zhang Xueliang also sent a telegram to Zhang Xuewu at the first time, but there was no response. Zhang Xuewu, who received Zhang Xueliang's telegram, was actually dispatching troops and generals. Because the Double Twelve Incident is of great importance, Chiang Kai-shek must not die. Since history has returned to its original track, it must not be allowed to deviate easily. Li, because of the butterfly effect brought about by the great changes in history, Zhang Xuewu has suffered a lot.
Zhang Xuewu transferred the troops of the three divisions, together with the mechanized brigade and a heavy artillery brigade of the artillery division to gather in Shanxi. The false destruction of Yu was one of Zhang Xuewu's plans. In fact, Zhang Xuewu did not care about whether Zhang Xueliang was a party member in history, because he remembered the information of later generations. It shows that the Communist International at that time clearly expressed its opposition to Zhang Xueliang's membership in the Party, but [***] still insisted on preparing to develop him as a party member, but I'm afraid many of them can only be made clear when you are an experienced person.
The members of the Central Committee detained in Xijing Guest House in the Double Twelve Incident were also worried about Nanjing. Zhang Xueliang wanted to see Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek refused, so he had to stand outside the door and leave sadly.
The Japanese side can be said to be rejoicing about the Xi'an incident. The outbreak of a large-scale civil war in China is very in line with the interests of Japan. In order to obtain the greatest benefits, Hirota Hongyi's cabinet decided to clear the relationship. It is better to move and sit on the wall and watch the war.
In the Double Twelve Incident, which shocked China and foreign countries, [***] held an expanded meeting of the Politburo to discuss countermeasures. The meeting decided to clearly support the patriotic actions of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. Although it received a "Moscow callback" after the meeting, [***] the central government still adhered to the established policy after study.
The attitude towards the Communist International of the Soviet Union was extremely angry. The Soviet Union said that the Xi'an incident was like the Liangguang incident, which was conducive to Japan's large-scale attack. Zhang Xueliang's behavior was brewing a large-scale separatist civil war, weakening China's resistance to Japan, which was a kind of speculation. At the same time, Yan Xishan also sent a "five" telegram condemning Zhang Xueliang, and the situation in Xi'an was even more isolated.
And Zhang Xuewu also sent a telegram asking Zhang Xueliang to release Chiang Kai-shek. Zhang Xuewu also sent a secret telegram to Zhang Xueliang, informing him that the so-called joint plan of the Northwest University could not be supported by the Soviet Union at all, which was just the wishful thinking of some people in China.
The mediation envoy Duanna had just arrived in Xi'an. After learning about Chiang Kai-shek's good situation, he immediately returned to Nanjing. On the Nanjing side, He Yingqin suddenly wanted to put Song Meiling under house arrest by force in the name of protecting his wife, and resolved the crisis under the timely rescue of Dai Li. Despite Song Meiling's warning, He Yingqin openly held a white oath and served as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, which began to fight against Xi'an.
In Zhang Xuewu's view, if Chiang Kai-shek does not do everything possible to drive out the Red Army troops and let the Central Army infiltrate the localities, if the Red Army can stand in Jiangxi instead of going to the northwest, if it is not the headquarters of the Northeast Army but the main force of the Central Army to suppress bandits in the northwest, if there is no unification during the Seventh National Congress of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The change of war policy [***] is still an unpopular lonely person. If the contradiction between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang is not so fierce, then maybe the Double Twelve Incident will not break out.
Zhang Xuewu also thought about stopping the Double Twelve Incident, but because the construction of Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan was too busy, and Zhang Xuewu also knew that even if he said it, Zhang Xueliang might not be able to listen. If he was too close to Zhang Xueliang and contacted too frequently before, I'm afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would The first person to settle accounts after autumn is himself.
The Double Twelve Incident has its own inevitable and accidental surnames, but Zhang Xueliang never expected that his cousin Zhang Xuewu would not support him? Because Zhang Xueliang was still deliberately guarding against Zhang Xuewu at the beginning of the incident, Zhang Xueliang's approach was extremely contradictory at this point.
In Zhang Xueliang's view, Zhang Xuewu will definitely stand on the same front with him, because he detained Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek will not trust Zhang Xuewu, who holds heavy soldiers in the future, so Zhang Xuewu naturally wants to stand with him.
For a while, Zhang Xueliang suddenly found that he and Yang Hucheng had become lonely? The national condemnation is like a sea, but what shocked Zhang Xueliang most was the large-scale editorial of the Soviet Pravda? It turned out to be a big condemnation of his behavior? So [***] Is it possible to realize the promised cloud?
In the face of heavy pressure, Zhang Xueliang immediately sent a telegram to warn He Yingqin that he should not fight recklessly. In order to resolve the incident peacefully, Zhang Xueliang decided to invite *** to discuss, so Zhou Enlai led a delegation to Xi'an on December 17.
At the same time, after Song Ziwen arrived in Xi'an in his private capacity, he immediately met Chiang Kai-shek, handed over Song Meiling's letter, and promised Zhang Xueliang that Song Meiling would go to Xi'an for negotiations as soon as possible. On December 22, Song Meiling flew to Xi'an accompanied by Song Ziwen, Dai Li and Duanna. That night, Song Meiling negotiated with Zhou Enlai all night to solve the crisis caused by the incident as soon as possible, and decided to hold tripartite talks with Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and others.
But Chiang Kai-shek was not willing to sign any agreement for his promise. Some subordinates of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army were dissatisfied with Zhang Xueliang. Finally, hundreds of officers surrounded Zhang Xueliang. Some of them shouted, "We do it for you with our heads. Why don't we even have a signature in the end? If we settle accounts afterwards, our heads will be out of guard!"
Zhang Xueliang stared and shouted, "Your political awareness is not as high as mine. Although Chiang Kai-shek was arrested, his political strength is still there. Now that we want to let him go and praise him as a leader, we will force him to sign, and he will repent at that time. It's also good to have a gentleman's agreement now."
Zhang Xueliang's proposal was opposed by Yang Hucheng. Finally, under the persuasion of Zhou Enlai, Yang Hucheng agreed to Zhang Xueliang's proposal not to sign and release Jiang.
In the repeated entanglement of both sides, He Yingqin sent a secret telegram to Zhang Xuewu, asking Zhang Xuewu's headquarters to be ready to enter Shanxi quickly at any time. Yan Xishan was a capricious guy. He hooked up with Zhang Xueliang before the Double Twelve Incident, and now he was in a hurry to jump out of Zhang, so he pretended to destroy it. Yu is the best choice.
He Yingqin's attitude in the Double Twelfth Incident and Song Ziwen's activity can be said to have made Zhang Xuewu feel a certain degree of pressure. In order to show allegiance to Chiang Kai-shek, the main forces of Zhang Xuewu's three divisions were all assembled in Suiyuan. The air force troops continued to send reconnaissance aircraft to Xi'an, and two subordinates of Yao Le's blade brigade The special combat detachment also secretly sneaked into Xi'an, and Zhang Xuewu was ready to rescue Chiang Kai-shek in case the situation got out of control.
