Andre's work efficiency was still very good. At the end of this month, which was the day before the New Year's Day in the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), Lu Ming came to the Nanjing Hotel to meet someone as requested.
An Gonggen and four brothers from the intelligence department followed Lu Ming, guarding the surrounding area to prevent agents from the Fuxing Society from appearing nearby.
Lu Ming walked into Nanjing Hotel, went directly to room 304, and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a long coat and a beard appeared in front of Lu Ming. The man asked with some vigilance: "Sir, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for a fellow from Changsha, Hunan." Lu Ming replied.
"Sorry, I'm from Sichuan." The person said.
"We are all brothers in the four seas." Lu Ming laughed.
The man also smiled and extended his hand enthusiastically.
Lu Ming stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously, then walked into the room.
"Are you Mr. Lu Minglu? I came here specifically to see you on the instructions of the Party Central Committee. My surname is Li, so please call me Mr. Li." The man said with a smile.
"I am Lu Ming. It's really not easy to find you." Lu Ming said with emotion.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Our teams have just settled down in the northwest, where the environment is harsh and difficult to contact. It was the Soviet comrades who conveyed your request. The Party Central Committee attaches great importance to your request, so I was specially sent to Shanghai to follow you.
You meet."
"Is your team okay? The newspapers are full of negative publicity for you." Lu Ming asked worriedly.
"Our team arrived at the northern Shaanxi base area in October last year. Although the losses were heavier, the basic strength was still preserved, and the central agencies were also safe and sound."
Mr. Li also introduced some things that happened to the Red Army on the Long March, and finally said excitedly:
"The Central Committee has just held an enlarged meeting of the Politburo in Wayaobao. At this meeting, Comrade Mao Zedong comprehensively analyzed the possibility of establishing an anti-Japanese national united front, and at the same time clearly pointed out that the Red Army should develop into the Shanxi region in order to
This will lead to the consolidation of the Soviet areas and the expansion of the Red Army itself."
"You just believe me so much? I was once the leader of Fuxing Society, aren't you afraid that this is the Hongmen Banquet?" Lu Ming laughed.
"Lu Ming, we still completely believe in you. You have helped us a lot before you worked for the Kuomintang. After you became the head of the Fuxing Society, you have been providing us with information for free, especially when you helped us
The grain and arms received can be said to have made great contributions to the revolution, and we Communists know how to be grateful." Mr. Li said sincerely.
"It's serious to say you are grateful. Who are you doing for? You are not sacrificing yourself for the working people. If you want to be grateful, it should be me." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"By the way, we found out the spy who leaked information to the Fuxing Society, and he got the fate he deserved. When we gave up the base and moved in, he finally showed his flaws, but don't worry, about you
There are only two people in our party who know about your situation, one is me and the other is one of the top leaders of our party, and your situation is only recorded in the minds of the two of us without any written materials." Li
The gentleman said with a smile.
"That's great, this bitch, because of him, Dai Li has been watching me for several years, and he has gradually relaxed these days." Lu Ming patted the table and said.
"Yes, because of this, not only did we not contact you again at that time, but we also shut down the radio station you protected. In fact, you have been helping us and helping us protect that radio station. We really should thank you." Li
said the gentleman.
"I should have been able to do more, but then I was busy building a special agent school and my energy was distracted." Lu Ming said with some regret.
There was a time when Lu Ming regretted breaking off contact with the Communist Party. He even believed that if he had been providing help to the Communist Party, the Red Army might not be forced to abandon its base areas and survive under difficult and difficult conditions.
After moving to many provinces, I had to enter one life-limited area after another.
Of course, Lu Ming would not think that his own power could change the status quo, but he could still provide a lot of help in terms of intelligence and funds to the Red Army who actively advocated going north to resist Japan.
Lu Ming also did not know that the failure of the Red Army's counter-encirclement and suppression campaign was not only due to military reasons, but also to the errors in the party's line and policy.
"As a non-party person, you have done enough and done well enough. We will remember these in our hearts, and the people will also remember your contribution to the country in the future." Mr. Li said sincerely.
Lu Ming rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "You make me feel ashamed when you say that. What I have done is really very little and insignificant."
Lu Ming began to express his thoughts frankly.
His initiative to contact the Communist Party this time was also approved by Sheng Youde, and it was an action taken after careful consideration.
Sheng Youde has been observing the changes in the situation in North China, expecting the Republic of China government to come up with effective measures to change the passive situation. However, what he waited for was the "Qin-Turk Agreement" and the "He-Mei Agreement".
Sheng Youde called Lu Ming over, and the two men drank a lot of wine. They didn't want to vomit, but they vomited quickly.
Sheng Youde finally said what he had been thinking in his chest: Under Japan's aggressive aggressive offensive, only by adopting the Communist Party's initiative to establish a national anti-Japanese united front can China be saved.
Sheng Youde told Lu Ming that he was lobbying the central forces within the Kuomintang, as well as military and political officials from various provinces and localities, asking them to give up all conflicts of interest at this critical moment, obey the instructions of the Nanjing government, and temporarily allow the government to play a leading role in politics.
It can be unified with military and financial aspects.
As for the disputes over the interests between the central and local governments, there will always be a solution after the Japanese aggression is defeated and they can sit down and have discussions.
In addition, we must sit down with the Communist Party to discuss the issue of joint resistance against Japan. This is the most important thing for China at the moment. Only the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party can resist the Japanese invaders. There is no other way.
Sheng Youde was unwilling to contact the CCP directly, so he handed over this task to Lu Ming and let him do it for him.
Lu Ming introduced his situation in this regard, and then asked with some concern: "Mr. Li, can your party temporarily give up its hatred and disputes with the Kuomintang and accept the command of the Nanjing government? Only in this way can we truly establish an anti-Japanese national united front."
, I know that this is very unfair to you, but if you don’t do this, the establishment of an anti-Japanese national united front will be empty talk.”
Mr. Li smiled heartily: "Lu Ming, you underestimate us. In the final analysis, our struggle with the Kuomintang is not a struggle between the two parties. We are not competing for any interests with the Kuomintang, but fighting for the legitimate rights and interests of the working people across the country."
, the Kuomintang represents the big capitalists, big landowners and foreign forces, while we represent the people of all walks of life across the country."
"I know the purpose and policy of your party, but now that the Kuomintang is in power, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party must have a government flag to jointly resist Japan, don't you think?" Lu Ming expressed his basic views on the Kuomintang and the Communist Party's joint resistance to Japan.
"I just said that our party has determined the line and policy of establishing the anti-Japanese national united front in Wayaobao. This is not to shout slogans, but to actually implement such a line. We have also planned to cooperate with the Northeast Army brothers
, fight back to the Northeast together and recover the land occupied by the Japanese invaders."
Mr. Li waved his hand, meaning that we must fight back to the Northeast to drive away the Japanese.
"That's great. I will convey your party's wishes to the young marshal. He will definitely be very happy." After hearing this, Lu Ming felt that his blood was boiling.
"Hasn't the Kuomintang always claimed that we provoked a civil war? Our party decided to form an anti-Japanese advance army and cross the Yellow River to the front line to fight the Japanese." Mr. Li said with emphasis.
"Oh, that's great. Your party's brilliant mind is really admirable." Lu Ming said overjoyed.
In terms of national justice, it is not difficult to make local forces temporarily obey the orders of the Nanjing government. After all, the military and political officials in these places are also members of the Kuomintang, and they are also important figures of the Kuomintang. Their dispute with the central government is just
There is no fundamental dispute in wanting to retain military, political and financial power in the region.
However, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party seem to have a deep blood feud. In the past few years, the Kuomintang troops have been encircling and suppressing the Red Army with all their strength. The two sides have fought in rivers of blood, and their hatred has reached the point of sworn hatred.
At this moment, it was indeed so unfair for the Communist Party to put aside its hatred, put aside its disputes, and obey the leadership of the Nanjing government. Lu Ming had a hard time saying it.
