October 10, 1938, was the anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution in Chongqing.
"The agreement between the two parties stipulates that: 1. China and Japan have concluded an anti-communist agreement, and China recognizes the presence of Japanese troops to defend against communism; 2. China recognizes Manchukuo; 3. Japanese expatriates have the freedom to live and do business in China; 4. Sino-Japanese economic cooperation, especially the use of
Develop North China's resources and recognize Japan's priority; fifth, the Japanese troops outside the agreement will begin to withdraw after the peace between the two countries is restored, and the withdrawal will be completed within two years." Wang Jingwei read the secret letter in his hand and looked at Mei Siping again, seriously
, he was tempted.
He has always been subordinate to Chiang Kai-shek, otherwise, he should be the top leader of the anti-Japanese war.
"Mr. Wang, this is the condition offered by the Japanese side." Mei Siping said, "I feel that the Japanese side is already very sincere. Now the situation in the Wuhan battle is grim, and the Japanese are not willing to continue the fight."
Wang Jingwei nodded, "The Japanese are indeed somewhat sincere. You have done a good job."
"Thank you Mr. Wang."
"Ji Xin, this condition is indeed very sincere. I think we can agree." Chen Bijun said anxiously.
"I can agree, but you need to plan carefully afterwards." Wang Jingwei nodded, with a look of joy on his face, and replied.
"It's natural."
…
October 12, 1938, Laiyang.
Zhou Weiguo looked to the west. He wanted to know whether there would be a different ending in the Wuhan battle after his intervention. He had always been confused about time travel. Did he travel to another parallel world?
Time and space, or the real history of the time and space before him?
"Master, there are people coming from all directions." Xu Hu walked over and said.
"Huzi, why are you here?" Zhou Weiguo was confused, "Why did you come to notify me in person?"
"It happened that the Eighth Route Army visited Qingfeng Village first, and then I brought people over. The recruit training was also watched by the people below." Xu Hu explained that since he became the deputy brigade commander of the Second Brigade, it was an opportunity to meet Zhou Weiguo.
, communication, there is a lot less, and, most importantly, there are a lot of things to do.
"Okay then, let's go to the reception room." Zhou Weiguo said.
"Master, it seems that a high-ranking official has come from the Eighth Route Army." Xu Hu reminded, "Then your eldest brother, Liu Yuan, has also come. Liu Yuan is still walking half a step behind that man and does not dare to pass."
Zhou Weiguo nodded. Sure enough, a chief came?
…
reception room
When Zhou Weiguo arrived, there were already five people waiting, including Liu Yuan, Zhang Chu, Qiu Ming, and two others he didn't recognize.
"Commander of the Shandong Independent Division of the National Revolutionary Army, Zhou Weiguo." Zhou Weiguo saluted.
"Zhou Lai." Mr. Zhou also saluted Zhou Weiguo and said with a smile.
"I've seen you, sir!" Zhou Weiguo said.
"Hey, your military rank is the same as mine. There is no superior." Mr. Zhou smiled and put down Zhou Weiguo's saluting hand and said, "Here today, you are the host and I am the guest."
"Well, I won't be polite to you anymore." Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Please sit down, Hu Zi, and let someone serve tea quickly."
Liu Yuan on the side looked at Zhou Weiguo and was very pleased that his younger brother had grown up.
"I think Commander Qiu Ming, Comrade Zhang Chu, and Comrade Liu Yuan don't need me to introduce you." Mr. Zhou then smiled and said, "This is my guard, Comrade Qin Pu."
Zhou Weiguo immediately said hello, "Hello."
"Hello, sir!" Qin Pu stood up and saluted Zhou Weiguo.
"You're welcome, sit down." Zhou Weiguo said helplessly. Facing Mr. Zhou, Zhou Weiguo still felt a little uneasy or excited. Later generations once commented that if there is a perfect man in the world, it must be Zhou.
Zhou studied at a young age, and later went to Japan to study, and later to France. During the Anti-Japanese War, he worked hard for the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he worked endlessly for the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. After the founding of New China, he continued to work hard until his death.
Such a person is worthy of everyone's admiration.
"Sit down, Qin Pu." Mr. Zhou spoke, and then Qin Pu sat down. Mr. Zhou looked at Zhou Weiguo and said, "I came here this time to discuss equipment with Master Zhou."
"Sir, don't call me Master Zhou." Zhou Weiguo was a little frightened, but then he said helplessly, "Just call me Weiguo."
"Don't call me sir either." Mr. Zhou pretended to be displeased, "We both have the surname Zhou. Maybe we were the same family five hundred years ago."
"In that case, I won't be polite." Zhou Weiguo smiled and took the tea from the soldier.
"Yeah." Mr. Zhou took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Then I will agree."
"Of course you're welcome." Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief. In comparison, his aura was still a bit lacking. In other words, he admired and respected this man from the beginning.
"In that case, let's get down to business first." He stood up, took out a piece of paper, and said, "Appoint Zhou Weiguo as the commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong."
"Yes!" Zhou Weiguo stood up and saluted. Now he is the director of the Political Department of the Communist Party. He accepted this appointment, and he didn't know how to calculate it.
"This letter of appointment is to assign the Eighth Route Army in Shandong to you as your subordinate. During wartime, you can have full command." Zhou explained with a smile, "There is no requirement for you to join our Communist Party."
Zhou Weiguo smiled helplessly, "Thank you for your understanding."
"Okay, next, let's discuss the equipment." Zhou smiled, "I'm curious to ask, is your batch of equipment the same batch that the Japanese lost in Nanjing?"
Zhou Weiguo had long thought that with such a large amount of equipment, others would definitely make guesses. For all-Japanese standard equipment, this was the only guess. Then, Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows helplessly, nodded, and said, "That's right."
Zhou Shixiao shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that I would lose to you. You are really a junior."
"You're welcome, but I used some special means." Zhou Weiguo was helpless. He knew that the value of his equipment might be reduced a lot.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. The list you gave Comrade Zhang Chu before was 25 silver dollars for a 38-piece cover, 85 silver dollars for a crooked gun, 100 silver dollars for a three-year-old heavy machine gun, 10 rounds of 1 silver dollar for bullets, and 45 silver dollars for a tortoise box.
The silver dollar is also 1 silver dollar with 10 rounds. Medium, the grenade is 500 silver dollars, the artillery shell is 10 silver dollars, the 90mm mortar is 2000 silver dollars, the artillery shell is 200 silver dollars, the 92 infantry gun is 3000 silver dollars, the artillery shell is 300 silver dollars, and the grenade is 5 silver dollars.
A bayonet is 5 silver dollars, a helmet is 5 silver dollars, a set of military uniforms is 10 silver dollars, a pair of leather shoes is 5 silver dollars, and it is said that there are some other supplies?" Premier Zhou asked with a smile.
"Yes, there are also some Japanese cans, wine, cigarettes, etc., as well as a large amount of food." Zhou Weiguo nodded, he would not hide anything.
"Well, Weiguo, you also know that our Communist Party and your Kuomintang cannot compare economically." Zhou Luewei said sheepishly, "So, can we discuss this price?"
