    Chapter 756 International Public Opinion

    The shock wave about the recapture of North China will not dissipate soon. The attitudes of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party towards this major event are also mixed. Generally speaking, the attitude of the Communist Party of China on this matter is more positive and enthusiastic than that of the National Government.  There are many people, and the level of enthusiasm and excitement among the people even exceeds that of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

    After the congratulatory message from the leader of the Communist Party of China to Tang Qiuli was published in the newspaper, it won unanimous praise from the domestic people and public opinion. Regarding the recovery of North China, a major event that could affect the history of China, the leader of the Communist Party of China responded in this way.  With a keen sense of politics, a clear grasp of the current situation, skillful fighting strategies, and superb handling methods, he was one step ahead of the Chongqing National Government in winning the hearts and minds of the people.

    Most of the public opinion's evaluation of Chairman Chiang was critical. As the head of state, his indifferent attitude towards the important matter of regaining the territory and expelling the invaders caused the National Government to lose points again, and also had more doubts about Chairman Chiang.  The disappointment and various opinions among the people continued to flow to Chairman Chiang through various channels, putting him in an extremely embarrassing situation.

    The will of the people is related to the issue of personal influence in the Republic of China. Although Chairman Chiang did not care much about the people's support, he was in the extraordinary period of the Anti-Japanese War. The people's support was enough to change the direction of history. He had to take remedial measures. After working with senior staff,  After discussion, on July 10, Wang Jingwei was invited to issue an order in the name of Chairman of the National Government and Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government, "In view of General Tang Qiuli's outstanding command in the battle to regain the territory of North China,  Art, and his outstanding military exploits have greatly contributed to the country and the people. After careful discussion, the National Government and the Military Commission have actually awarded Tang Qiuli, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and former Director of the Enemy Command, the rank of General."

    In the order, in response to the unanimous request of the people, Tang Qiuli was awarded a first-class Baoding Medal and a first-class Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. This means that Tang Qiuli can add another star to his epaulette, becoming a  In the military circles of the Republic of China government, he was the only one of the two first-level army generals who was tied with Chairman Chiang. He truly stood at the highest peak of the civilian world, with four golden stars, which would be the rank of general in later generations.

    Tang Qiuli was naturally happy to accept it. Perhaps it was the young man's vanity that caused him to pay more attention to the four general stars on his shoulders than to kill a Japanese division.  After looking around in front of the big mirror a few times in his general uniform, with four shining general stars on his shoulders, and his tall and straight figure, he felt so beautiful. Then, the Military Commission sent a special message, asking Vice Chairman Tang to submit  A list of personnel who have made meritorious service in the reconquest of North China, and will be promoted to military rank at the discretion of the Military Commission.

    This is a good thing. After the army expanded, most of the commanders of the corps and the commanders of the brigades still had their original military ranks. With this opportunity, adding a gold star to their shoulders was also a recognition of their military achievements. Tang  Qiu Li submitted a long flying list. The commanders of each corps were all with the rank of lieutenant general, and the brigade commanders were all with the rank of major general. Among them, he specifically mentioned Shanhu. The divisional security brigade was a regiment-level establishment. This time he made an exception.  , be sure to grant the rank of major general, so that your good brothers can also become generals.

    After the excitement subsided, Tang Qiuli thought about it carefully and felt that things here were not simple. Chairman Chiang's initial congratulatory message was cold. A few days later, he generously sent a large-scale military rank delivery, and in the order, he said:  My own evaluation is obviously higher than the first time. It is definitely not a discovery of conscience, but forced by the pressure of public opinion.

    More importantly, Chairman Chiang wants to tell the people of the country through this matter, no matter how many military exploits you Tang Qiuli have made, I, Jiang, have to admit that I am the orthodox and the only representative of the Republic of China. You Tang Qiuli will always be the one who represents the Republic of China.  They are my subordinates. As for Wang Jingwei, he was brought in by Chairman Chiang to carry the banner and show his appearance. Thinking of this, he does not take the uniform of a first-class general on his body so seriously.

    The next day after receiving the order from the Chongqing National Government, I received a telegram from Mei Ting and Mei Xue from Dingbian. The sisters were escorted by a battalion of troops and were not in any danger. They had arrived in Dingbian safely. Please do not miss them. Tang  Qiu Li was surprised. It was not very far from Taiyuan to Dingbian. Why did it take more than ten days to arrive, and there was no telegram in the middle? He didn't know that he was so anxious that he couldn't sit still.

    After going to the telegram to inquire, they found out the situation. Sisters Mei Ting and Mei Xue declined the plan arranged by the old general Jiang Baili to escort a regiment of troops, and only took one battalion with them. It happened that Jiang Baili also had to rush back to Dingbian Military Academy, and they were accompanying them all the way.  , after setting off from Taiyuan, we did not return directly to Dingbian, but detoured to Shuozhou in northern Shanxi, crossed the Yellow River at Pianguan, and returned to Dingbian via Ordos, Yulin, and Jingbian.

    This was Mei Ting's idea. After taking a look at the people's sentiments, public opinion, and geographical features, Jiang Baili was so excited that he happily agreed. One old man and two young men led a battalion of soldiers, and Shi Shiran made a big circle and traveled along the way.  Traveling around the mountains and rivers, staying in every village or town, it took more than ten days and a journey of nearly a thousand miles before returning to Dingbian.

     Tang Qiuli broke out in a cold sweat when he read the telegram. He complained secretly to Jiang Baili that the Mei sisters were young at heart and just wanted to play. You are so old and you are still joining in the fun. Shuozhou in northern Shanxi and Inner Mongolia  In the Ordos area, the situation is more complicated. The latent Japanese forces in the two places have not been completely eradicated. In particular, Ordos is an ethnic area. Affected by the riots in Outer Mongolia, the hostility towards the National Government is serious. If Japanese spies come,  An ambush and assassination or something like that, if there is danger, I still feel heartbroken, especially since Mei Ting is still pregnant with her child.

    He wrote a letter to Mei Ting and Mei Xue in his own hand. He was furious and ordered the sisters not to take a single step outside the settlement without his permission. Any action must be done with his permission. Mei Ting rested in peace and Mei Xue returned to the military.  College, continue your unfinished studies, and also sent a secret order to Liu Chuangshan, director of the Dingbian Secret Service Bureau, to take special protection measures for the Mei sisters. If there is any problem, you, Liu Chuangshan, can ask.

    Mei Ting and Mei Xue read Tang Qiuli's threatening letter at home. They laughed so hard that they were not angry. Instead, they felt a sweet feeling in their hearts. The man they loved valued them so much, and they were cared about.  Touched, Tang Qiuli was also scared. He always felt that the dream one night in Tianjin was not a good sign. After losing a lover, Mei Ting and Mei Xue could not be in any danger again.

    Domestically, the country celebrated the recapture of North China with great joy. Internationally, there were many comments on this war, which was related to the prospect of war between China and Japan. The British "Times" wrote: "This battle that took place in North China in the Far East began in a certain period.  In this sense, it has changed people¡¯s inherent views on the prospects of this war with great disparity in power,¡± the U.S. ¡°Washington Post¡± wrote: ¡°The Japanese plan to fully occupy the Republic of China met with a disastrous failure. The government forces of the Republic of China  The fighting ability shown is incredible.¡±

    France's "Le Free France" commented: "Needless to say, the Japanese have suffered a serious blow. The emergence of a legendary general in the Republic of China has become a nightmare for the Japanese." Hitler's secrets to the head of state in Berlin, Germany  The secretary said: "Immediately go and send a telegram to our ambassador in China to find out all the information about the Chinese general named Tang Qiuli." This was the first time Tang Qiuli walked in. This man was regarded as a savior by the Germans at the time.  In the sight of the head of state, and took root deeply.

    Perhaps, at this time, Hitler was considering that if the German Empire needed an ally in the East, the Chinese were obviously much better than the Japanese who were only worthy of fishing on the seashore. The Chinese were special and excellent people of color, so that  He has always emphasized that the German nation is the best nation in the world. It is not easy for Hitler, a thoroughgoing racist, to come to such an evaluation.

    This probably started after the end of World War I. Mr. Hitler, who was still unemployed at that time, was impoverished and had no food and clothing in Vienna, the capital of Austria. He received selfless Eastern care from a Chinese family living in Austria.  , looking at Hitler's performance during World War II, he killed other races, especially Jews, without mercy, but he looked at the Chinese in a different light.

    Not only did it provide a large amount of military aid to China, recruit a large number of Chinese students studying abroad, send senior professional officers to help the Nationalist government train the army, and even personally participate in commanding operations, it also helped the then Republican government to establish relatively complete military-industrial enterprises along the Yangtze River, making it  It became the strong backing of the eight-year war of resistance. During the Battle of Songhu, Chairman Chiang was the Central Army who brought out all German equipment to fight the Japanese to the death.

    As the saying goes, "For good causes, you will get good results." The kind act of a Chinese family has blessed all Chinese in Germany. The kindness of the Chinese people is sometimes touching, but the Japanese do not understand this.  First of all, they all look like nouveau riche and local rich people, which is really annoying.

    Moscow of the Soviet Union, the Kremlin, Stalin's office, the boss of the world's most powerful people, are giving tasks to the heads of the Soviet Far East Military Intelligence Bureau, "try every means to find out the losses and equipment comparisons of both sides in this battle.  As well as the next military actions of both sides, find out the identity and background of this Chinese general named Tang Qiuli, and find out if he replaces the position of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria, whether the threat to our country's Siberia and Outer Mongolia will be greater than Japan's  people?"

    Stalin's words were orders. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were nothing more than a matter of winning or losing a battle. But in Stalin's eyes, the first thing that came to mind was that if there was an enemy on the Soviet border that was more difficult to deal with than the Japanese Kwantung Army,  How should the Soviet Union respond to its opponents? He knew very well how much debt Russia owed China in history. Not only he, but also Lenin, his teacher in theory and action, also knew.

    He himself owed many new debts with his own hands, such as Outer Mongolia. If it was possible to carve up China with the Japanese, he would be happy to do it. Stalin wanted to find out the details of Tang Qiuli and provide support for Soviet Union.Make plans for your interests.
