Chapter 792 Chongqing's decision
Chapter 792 Chongqing’s decision
Li Cui's words made Wang Zhaoming nod his head constantly. This is the reason! The largest part of the Japanese army in China is the Central China Front Army, where more than 300,000 Japanese troops gathered here.
The North China Front Army had about 200,000 troops. If these two sides added up, the force formed would be more than 500,000.
In Wang Zhaoming's view, the National Defense Force does have its own advantages. After all, the Japanese side has been slaughtered by the National Defense Force several times, but what we need to see is that every time the National Defense Force suppresses the Japanese army with its superior force.
Every time, the National Defense Forces fight with all their strength. The Japanese army they deal with is a certain front army. For example: the Kwantung Army, the North China Front Army, the North Korean garrison... etc.
After all, the National Defense Force did not directly engage in large-scale combat with all the Japanese troops. Therefore, in my opinion, even if the National Defense Forces gained certain advantages, it was based on the fact that they did not fight the Japanese army in full swing.
Once the Japanese army makes efforts without any scruples, the National Defense Forces will only face disintegration.
It is not surprising that Wang Zhaoming would see this, but in fact, Chongqing also sees this. After experiencing a coma for more than half a month, Mr. Jiang finally woke up.
"...This is the situation now. Shoushan's troops have retreated. Boling and Enbo's troops have joined forces and are on the way back." In front of Master Jiang's hospital bed, Song Ziwen told all the things during this period.
Master Jiang leaned on the pillow, was silent for a while before saying to Song Ziwen: "Can my father's body be back...can I get it back?!"
Everyone did not expect that the first words that Mr. Jiang said were actually this. Everyone was stunned, but then Chen Guofu said, "The Japanese did not make any difficulties... They had cremated the chairman's body and the ashes were transferred through the German side..."
"Our biggest problem now is how should we deal with the Japanese army approaching the entire national government?!" Chen Lifu was a little anxious and said to Master Jiang: "Wang Zhaoming has established a national government in Guangzhou now, and some people in Chongqing have defected to us! The current situation is not good for us, so please make a decision as soon as possible."
With the help of the nurse, Grand Master Jiang sat upright and whispered to everyone: "Can the National Defense Forces contact us?! I want to know their opinion."
"What... what?! Contact the National Welfare?!" The lady cried out: "No! We can't contact them! Chongqing is the orthodox, what do we contact them for?!"
"Does it matter whether it is orthodox or not?!" Master Jiang understood and whispered to everyone: "On the way back, I have been thinking about where the dilemma is."
"Are Britain, the United States, France and other countries? Obviously, people will stand on the Wehrmacht more than on our side. This can be seen from their investment direction."
Grand Master Jiang did understand people, or he knew better than his father how to deal with this crisis. Unlike his father Chiang Zhongzheng, the situation that Grand Master Jiang saw in the Soviet Union was more objective than Chiang Zhongzheng.
At the same time, the Soviet Union's evaluation of the National Defense Forces also allowed him to understand the true strength of the National Defense Forces. After returning to China, he wanted to ask Chiang Chiang several times to establish contact with the National Defense Forces.
But looking at the situation in Nanjing's government, he finally endured it. Because he knew that the National Defense Forces was one of the biggest taboos in his father's heart. No one is allowed to mention it.
In fact, on the way back to Chongqing from Jiangxi, Grand Master Jiang was thinking about how to get through the dilemma that appeared. It was obviously impossible for Chongqing ** to fight against the Japanese army.
Now there are only more than one million troops under the command of the National Government, and the real elite is between 300,000 and 400,000. Even the Japanese army, even the Central China Front Army, has reached more than 300,000.
This is incomparable to Chongqing, and it is still absent from the powerful equipment, good training and morale of the Japanese army.
Once Chiang Kai-shek died, Liu Xiang and others from the Sichuan Army would definitely make it clear that they would throw their carriages and horses towards the National Defense Forces. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the National Defense Forces were much better than Chongqing.
If you ask who can lead the entire China to win the war against Japan, then even the stupidest people will tell you: there is only the National Defense Forces.
Everyone knows that the National Defense Forces have a larger naval, army, air force troops than the National Government. They also have trained and highly qualified soldiers.
And the most important thing is that they never lose when fighting any unit! If they don’t help, it will be a stalemate.
In contrast, the Guofu, Songhu, Nanjing and Wuhan have never won any victory. The lost territories include Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Shandong and the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang!
Now that the former Central Army troops in Henan and Hebei are being drawn out, the result of the war continuing can be imagined.
"But with our strength, it is difficult to maintain the current control area." Master Jiang's face was pale, and coughed and said to everyone: "Besides, how do we replenish the weapons?! How do we replenish the ammunition?!"
"In the battle of Wuhan, we have lost most of our artillery and armored forces. The air force fighter jets have almost been lost. What do you think we should do in this situation?!"
Everyone was silent. Don’t they know that Master Jiang’s words are reasonable?! It’s rational to tell them that Chongqing is no longer the recognized orthodox of the entire country.
In fact, this has been the case since the Nanjing Battle. If Chongqing wants to maintain it, all it can do is the United Nations Defense Force. But this kind of alliance is undoubtedly Chongqing's willingness to be a green leaf after putting down its status.
Therefore, the veterans in Chongqing could not accept such changes psychologically and emotionally. Before the National Defense Forces rose, the National Government of Beiyang has always been recognized as orthodox governments in the outside world and even the entire country.
The recession of the Nanjing battle led to the loss of hearts of the entire government. It would be fine if the National Defense Forces did not perform so well, but the National Defense Forces declared war and later entered the pass.
Their persistence in taking them on the battlefield in Nanjing has constantly highlighted the powerlessness of the government. Under this situation, the wind direction of the entire country began to change quietly.
The knowledgeable people, some capitalists, passionate students and intellectuals rushed to the defense force controlled area they believed was determined to fight against Japan.
Even ordinary people know that under the rule of the National Defense Forces, at least there is no need to worry about being affected by war - the three eastern provinces have not suffered from war.
The government was abandoned, but was abandoned directly by most people. Even some officials in the government chose to transfer their family property to the three northeastern provinces - they did not have the conditions for the Song family to transfer their assets to the United States.
As a result, the three northeastern provinces became their safe havens. Some people directly gave up their public office and took their wives and children to rush to the areas controlled by the three northeastern provinces.
A series of failures have completely lost confidence in Chongqing. Either defeat or escape. Now that the head of state has been killed, who dares to believe that?!
"Contact the National Defense Forces, even if they put forward some harsh conditions, we must accept it..." Master Jiang's face was very pale and he whispered to everyone: "This is my opinion."
He Yingqin, who had withdrawn from Wuchang City, looked at Master Jiang and sighed deeply, looked around everyone and said softly: "So, do you have any other opinions?!"
Everyone was silent. In addition to their emotional inability to accept the accession of the National Defense Forces, the greater reason was the involvement of interests. The three northeastern provinces have vivid ways to deal with those big businesses. If they choose to surrender, can they still have their current position?!
Let me say that the three northeastern provinces have always been tough on corruption and other attitudes. There are not many people in the national government who are clean. If they are packed up, 80% of them will have to drink a pot!
This has affected his authority, and everyone will naturally weigh the pros and cons. There is no room for bargaining between themselves and the National Defense Forces.
Who said that the National Government is asking for the National Defense Forces now? And the National Defense Forces don’t care what the National Government thinks or what they do.
Tigers don’t care what the jackals are thinking, nor what the jackals plan to do. What tigers care about are opponents that are comparable to their own strengths, as well as those prey that can feed their belly.
"Do as your sir..." The one who spoke was Mrs. Jiang. She now realized that even if she persisted, the result would not be much better. It would be better, just let it go now.
"I suggest that it's better to find Long Yun." But Chen Guofu whispered to He Yingqin: "He had contacted the National Defense Forces a long time ago, and our news also confirmed that his two sons had trained at the National Defense University of the Three East Provinces. He also participated in the National Defense Forces' war in North Korea."
He Yingqin nodded and signaled that he knew. Then he turned around and left the room. After He Yingqin left, Master Jiang slowly lay down and closed his eyes.
Seeing this, the rest could only slowly exit the room.
After seeing everyone off, Mrs. Jiang found her elder sister and told them about these things. Song Ziwen also mentioned all the issues he had considered before and left them to the head of the Song family to judge.
"The eldest son is indeed a character..." After hearing the words of Mrs. Jiang and her younger brother, Song Ailing sighed softly: "We are all in this mountain."
"Little sister, don't think so much. Even if the tiger comes, he will still give us some face." Song Ailing was very confident. This confidence comes from the accumulation of the Song family over the decades.
