"The British are preparing to play with them again!"

After Learwin left, Wufengjievich said angrily.$().(w)(x).()The foreign policy of the British for centuries has been quite vulgar. To put it bluntly, by constantly creating conflicts and disputes, the British enemies can kill each other and pull each other back to achieve the goal of safeguarding the national interests of the UK.

It can be said that European powers have never been cheated by the British. This time, in Wufengyevic's view, the British were preparing to cheat them again. This is clearly a sign that they were going to create conflicts between the Soviet Union and the Japanese and were ready to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Does Li Xiaofeng know? Of course, he knows that the country of Britain, a slutty country, has always been shameless and speechless. He uses any means to achieve his goal. He can't even stick to his integrity with 502.

However, for the time being, he did not intend to turn against the British, for the following reasons: First, although the British's purpose and means are very despicable, from a general perspective, both sides have a common language to curb Japan's ambitions; Second, what are the benefits of turning against the British? This will only make the British even more despicable, and may even make the British directly encourage the Japanese to "go north". Obviously, it is not suitable to directly offend the British at this time, so they can only endure it; Third, the British will be conspiring and tricking, so Li Xiaofeng will not be fooled by him? Isn't it just a trick? Who is afraid of whom, and who will cheat in the end is not sure!

Of course, some of the conditions proposed by the British made Li Xiaofeng moved. Li Erwen hinted that she could do the work in Nanjing so that Nanjing would not interfere too much in the northern War of Resistance, especially not to attack the anti-Japanese Allied Army of the Chahar people.

Li Xiaofeng attached great importance to this point. In history, wasn’t the Chahar People’s Anti-Japanese Allied Army destroyed under the joint encirclement of the Japanese, Central Army, Northwest Army and Jin Army? If Nanjing could not be so shady, the Chahar People’s Anti-Japanese Allied Army should have a little better life.

So, is the UK so powerful in Nanjing? Objectively speaking, yes. And this involves the world economic crisis mentioned earlier. In this round of economic crisis, the United States was naturally the hardest hit. In the second half of 1933, with Roosevelt coming to power, the United States abandoned the gold standard and instead raised the international silver price. Simply put, it is to increase the international silver price to increase the purchasing power of the currency of the silver standard country (this is not necessarily a good thing), thereby dumping excess goods into the silver standard country.

Which silver standard country was the most important silver standard in the world at that time? Naturally, it was China. After the Americans raised the silver price, China faced a situation where the currency value was greatly increased and the deflation of the outside silver was a bad situation. Under such circumstances, the national tax revenue was quite difficult, and the treasury was empty, which triggered a fiscal crisis. It can be said that it fundamentally shakes the ruling foundation of the Nanjing National Government.

Under such a deadly situation, in order to alleviate the currency crisis and maintain its rule, Nanjing naturally had to find a way to resist the American "currency war". However, with China's national strength at that time, how could it be a rich and powerful opponent of the US imperialist Empire? You're welcome to say that in the financial field, the US imperialist could crush Chiang Kai-shek with a finger.

Under such circumstances, Nanjing, which was unsustainable in finance, carried out currency reform in 1935. It abandoned the silver standard and instead issued fiat currency. The problem was that it required reserves for issuing currency. The Nanjing National Government at that time was really a 100-meter silk thread and could not pay out the money at all. In other words, if you want to complete the currency reform, you must first find reserves.

So where does this reserve come from? Of course, we can only find loans to the powerful gangsters. That is to say, we need to borrow money from the big gangsters. At that time, the global economic crisis did not completely pass, and it did not give others benefits, so why should they help you?

Anyway, in March 1935, both Japan and the United States rejected the collective aid plan proposed by the British to China. In the end, only the British, who had the greatest interests in China, came on their own and proposed a plan for freight forwarding to China-currency reform.

The core is that China should give up the silver standard as soon as possible; the central bank specializes in issuing paper currency; the UK can only provide loan assistance if China adopts the pound as the basis of its currency system; the exchange rate between this new banknote and the pound should not exceed 1 yuan equal to 1 shilling and 2 pence; China can sell its cash bank abroad to obtain enough foreign exchange to prevent the collapse of the new currency system; before implementing currency reform, China can request a loan as a foreign exchange reserve, and the UK can provide a loan or credit that is only used for currency reform.

And China should accept the following conditions: (1) Provide sufficient guarantees for loans, including retaining the management of customs by the British General Taxation Department; (2) controlling the use of loans, whose uses are limited to currency reform; (3) Reorganizing the central bank and hiring British consultants; (4) Reforming the budget.

In fact, the British had far more than so many and harsh conditions, and even involved the sovereignty issues in the Northeast. They even wanted to make China recognize the puppet Manchukuo as a condition and join forces with Japan to lend a loan to Nanjing.

Of course, these conditions of the British were not finally realized because Japan flatly refused (the Japanese were not stupid, because all the substantial benefits were taken away by Britain, and whether the puppet Manchukuo wanted to recognize Nanjing was only symbolic. If the international community did not recognize it, it could not be let out. Instead, for this reason, he obediently lends to China with the UK, which is a fool).

As Nanjing and the United Kingdom continue to get closer, they almost joined the pound system. The Americans finally couldn't sit still, so they later decided to take action to finally sign the China-US Silver Agreement.

These are all later stories. Anyway, as long as everyone knows that in the early 1930s, Nanjing was once quite close to London. If the United States had not disturbed it, it would have joined the British pound system. Of course, in the end, it did not completely get rid of the influence of Britain. In fact, the final fiat currency reform could be carried out, especially the strong interference from Japan, which was able to achieve certain success. The support of Britain and the United States was the main one. It was through this monetary reform that the Nanjing National Government officially entered the circle of interests between Britain and the United States and became a man of others (financial affairs were almost controlled by others).

In other words, in this era, the British were still very capable of guiding the policy of Nanjing. If the UK clearly stated that it was unhappy, Nanjing would really be able to pee. But don’t give too much hope to the British. At this time, their lives were not easy. Although they had the idea of ​​curbing Japan’s expansion, they tended to achieve their goals through political and economic means. It was unrealistic to expect the British to help them in essence.

Of course, this influence is better than nothing. It is worthwhile to be able to exchange for a certain degree of help from the British at a weak price. However, the decision-making power for this matter is not with Li Xiaofeng. All he can do is report the British's intentions, his personal analysis and suggestions to the Politburo. Everything must be followed by the Politburo's ruling.

During this period, Li Xiaofeng had more important things to do. Although he had contacted Feng Yuxiang before, Feng Yuxiang wanted no one, no power, and he still needed to contact his old subordinates.

At this time, between May and July, the troops of Feng Yuxiang's former subordinate Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu raised the banner of anti-Japanese war, as in history. Among them, Fang Zhenwu sold all his property and collected 100,000 military expenses. After summoning his old subordinates in Jiexiu, Shanxi, formed an anti-Japanese rescue **, and went north.

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek and He Yingqin repeatedly ordered Fang Zhenwu not to go north, and his troops were only allowed to go south to suppress the Communist Party. They mobilized seven divisions of troops to encircle Fang Zhenwu's troops. Feng Yuxiang and Li Xiaofeng reached a preliminary agreement. When it was announced on May 26 that the Chahar People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army was established in Zhangjiakou, Fang Zhenwu immediately responded actively. In the telegram, he wrote: "Zhenwu is not sensitive, and he actually leads tens of thousands of athletes, sincerely supports us, repairs our swords, annihilates the cruel ones, and wins as one of Shaokang's brigades, and fails as five hundred Tian Heng."

At the same time, Ji Hongchang and his troops also joined the Allied Army. The two armies set off from Wanquan (now Zhangjiakou) and headed northward. They first defeated Zhangbei, and then recovered Kangbao. They recovered Baochang and Guyuan on July 1, and Duolun on July 12, which was in full swing for a while.

In other words, on July 12, the Japanese and puppet forces were basically expelled from Chahar Province. At this time, the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Forces also reached the highest peak in history. What followed was a series of tragedies. Under the operation of He Yingqin and Lao Chiang, on the one hand, they mobilized 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and on the other hand, they also launched a political and Jin-Yuan offensive, using both soft and hard skills. While bribing and winning over the troops of the Allied Forces, they forced Feng Yuxiang to leave. In August, there were only 15,000 remaining anti-Japanese Allied Forces, which had once reached the 90,000 mark. Moreover, Feng Yuxiang was forced to return to Taishan, Shandong to cultivate under great political pressure.

Obviously, in July, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces had entered a historical turning point. If Li Xiaofeng did not interfere, the force would soon collapse.

According to Li Xiaofeng's plan, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, dominated by Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu, should head from Dolon to the north, head to the northern part of Chahar, and establish a base in the northern part of Chahar Province. The Mazhan Mountain in the north marched from north to south, exited Manzhouli, and established an anti-Japanese base in the southwest of Xing'an Province. It is best to connect the two bases, backed by the Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia at that time to stalemate with the Japanese Kwantung Army for a long time.

However, now, as the situation is getting better, different arguments have begun to appear within the Allied Army. Some people believe that continuing to move north seems not a good choice. There are two deserts in the middle of Chahar Province, and Dolun is almost barren to the north. There seems to be no problem in developing anti-Japanese armed forces in this area. The more correct approach is to go south, seize Peiping, and establish an anti-Japanese base in the Peiping area.

Does this idea make sense? There is indeed some truth. The northern part of Chahar is indeed too desolate. Compared with the Peking area with better population and economic conditions, it is simply a place in the sky and the other underground. The difficulty of going north is indeed greater.

But the question is, are there fewer problems to go south? The group of warlords in the south, whether it is the Northeast Army of Young Marshal Zhang, Yan Xishan's Jin army or Lao Chiang's Central Army, how can they give you a big city like Peiping to you in vain?

With the strength of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces at that time, it was not enough to confront these forces head-on. And at the request of Chiang Kai-shek, these anti-Japanese Allied Forces had already sharpened their knives and had to deal with you if they didn't go south. They might have rushed into their encirclement directly. So going south may look beautiful, but in fact it is a huge pit.

In fact, Ji Hongchang didn't want to go south either. According to his original idea, he should go west to Shangdu, join the troops of Gao Shuxun to establish a base in the northern part of Suiyuan and then accept the Soviet armed forces in the long-term war of resistance.

The problem is that Ji Hongchang's idea went bankrupt from the beginning. After advancing west for a while, he was besieged by Yan Xishan's troops. In desperation, he had to go east to meet with Fang Zhenwu. Fang Zhenwu's life was not easy. With the signing of the Sino-Japanese Tanggu Armistice Agreement, in fact, the north of the Great Wall became the territory of the Japanese, and the Japanese army was also constantly attacking and warning Fang Zhenwu, ordering him to leave immediately.

In this case, both Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu were a little willing to give in. They were preparing to reorganize the Chahar People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army into the "Anti-Japanese Anti-Japanese and Bandits" army as in history, and were preparing to go south to "anti-Japanese and Bandits" first. It can be seen how indignant Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu were at that time.

Fortunately, with the addition of a certain immortal in this time and space, the situation was not exactly the same. With his strong support, Feng Yuxiang did not retreat and remained firmly in Zhangjiakou to take charge of the overall situation. With him as a big boss, his old Northwest Army troops at both ends of snakes and rats must restrain themselves even if they have little thoughts.

With Feng Yuxiang in charge, the forces at both ends of the snakes and rats within the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces naturally could not be as rampant as in history. Moreover, as he tried his best to insist on going north, the plan to go south was put on hold.

However, this does not mean that the situation has completely improved. No one can guarantee what will happen after going north. After all, the first thing to encounter with the Japanese when going north is whether they can travel through the desert and go through the Japanese to join Mazhanshan's troops. This is a big problem.

Feng Yuxiang's troops had many problems, but Ma Zhanshan was still smooth. Although his troops were fewer than the Anti-Japanese Allied Army and had a very diverse composition, he had one of the biggest advantages, which was to rely on a big tree to enjoy the shade. With the Soviet Union's direct support, he quickly defeated the puppet Manchukuo team, recovered Manzhouli, and after rectifying the troops, he began to advance towards Hailar. According to the previous plan, after capturing Hailar, his troops would immediately go south and establish an anti-Japanese base at the junction of Chahar, Rehe, Liaobei and Xing'an provinces.

"Do you think Mazhanshan can capture Hailar?"

Li Xiaofeng has no idea about Buluheer's problem. The reason is very simple. After all, Hailar is the capital of Xing'an Province. In the desolate Northeast, it is considered a big city. After Ma Zhanshan's troops captured Manzhouli and expanded all the way, it was indeed difficult to capture Hailar. In fact, Li Xiaofeng had no intention of taking Hailar before. A big city like this would definitely attract the attention of the Kwantung Army, and it would not be allowed to fall into the hands of Ma Zhanshan. Once Ma Zhanshan captured Hailar, the next big army would definitely encircle and suppress it.

To be honest, it is very dangerous to do this. However, Ma Zhanshan insisted on doing this. The reason is very simple. First of all, big cities are more eye-catching. When people walk to a high place, Ma Zhanshan will definitely not be willing to take their men and horses to fight against Japan in the valley. Occupy a big city, in his opinion, only in his heart can he have a clear mind. Secondly, as a general who surrenders to the enemy, Ma Zhanshan cherishes his feathers very much. He urgently wants to clean up the political stains of surrendering to the enemy before, and reviving the capital of Ontario is undoubtedly the best way.

In short, Ma Zhanshan's desire for Hailar is unparalleled. At this time, Li Xiaofeng told him not to attack Hailar, how could he listen?

"Let's take a step by step!" Li Xiaofeng sighed.

Because he felt tired after working with Ma Zhanshan and Feng Yuxiang for a few months. These people had their own ideas, and their ideas were so unique and strange, and they didn't listen to advice at all. This shows that China's revolutionary problems are indeed a hundred times more complicated than Russia. Patriot generals like Feng Yuxiang and Ma Zhanshan are like this, and other capricious warlords are even more difficult to accomplish.

Buluheer was also very moved by this. As Sun Yat-sen's military adviser, he was quite clear about China's complex problems. If possible, he really wanted to rely solely on his Far East Red Flag Front to solve the Japanese problem.

"Do I want me to help Mazhanshan in person?" asked Buluheer.

This is probably the only way that Buluheer could think of, but Li Xiaofeng believes that this is not a good idea. First of all, the Politburo did not intend to turn against the Japanese immediately, and Red Army officers were not suitable to participate directly. Especially the highest-level generals like Buluheer, they were not suitable to participate. Secondly, Ma Zhanshan was not completely relieved of the Soviet Union, and he was still worried that the Soviet Union would use him. At this time, Buluheer went to help him command the battle, which would make Ma Zhanshan think that this was a snatch of military power. Maybe it would turn into a good intention and turn a bad thing into a backfire.

"We can only believe in Ma Zhanshan now, and we can only believe in the determination of the Chinese people to defend their country!" Li Xiaofeng said with a bitter face.

On July 15, just as the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces began to head north, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Rescue, led by Ma Zhanshan, also began an attack on Hailar. Under the cover of brief artillery fire, thousands of Anti-Japanese Rescue soldiers who had just received simple military training jumped out of the trenches and rushed to the puppet army positions with shouts.

The scene was spectacular, at least in Ma Zhanshan's opinion, and this level of tactical cooperation was not easy in the Chinese team at that time. Most of the time, soldiers who lack training flocked to the battlefield in chaos and only fought with instinct.

Now, after being trained by Soviet military advisers, his soldiers are a bit professional. The machine gun is covered with decent appearance, and the short shot sounds so comfortable.

Ma Zhanshan pointed to Hailar in the distance with confidence with a horse whip, and said loudly to his subordinates: "It is no problem to take Hailar!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
