(…In Taiyuan, it was actually my first time facing the **. From the time he appeared and the peace plan he proposed to us, I felt that his internal skills were very profound. In fact, the so-called negotiation was his move to resolve our military advantages and a continuous move... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

"This is the proposal of the Chinese regime to unify by **. See what you think we should do, right?" In the evening, Chiang Kai-shek finally took out the result of his talk with ** for a long time and handed it to Wang Jingwei, Li Zongren, Cao Xiaomin and others present.

Cao Xiaomin finished reading the documents at a glance, but looked up and saw Chiang Kai-shek looking at the same document. He glanced at the surroundings again. Li Zongren, Wang Jingwei and others were still reading them carefully. What surprised Cao Xiaomin was that Wang Chonghui and Wang Shijie who came with Chiang Kai-shek were all looking at the documents... Why? They were still thinking about the documents and had not understood these contents yet?

Perhaps he found that Cao Xiaomin had finished reading the documents and was observing everyone. Chiang Kai-shek put down his documents and glanced at the others, but the others were still reading them, so he had to stop talking. Cao Xiaomin felt that Chiang Kai-shek looked more anxious, so he put down the documents and his actions were a little bigger to attract the attention of others.

Finally, everyone finished reading the documents, but no one spoke.

"What do you think?" Chiang Kai-shek continued his question, but no one answered it, so he turned his attention to Cao Xiaomin.

Sighing inwardly, Cao Xiaomin had to speak: "Actually, to be honest, I was not prepared at all. I think I should think carefully before responding to such serious content... May I ask, what is the Long Qumai like when this meeting was launched? Also, we didn't know that ** would appear before we came... So, to be honest, it is difficult to form an answer that I feel satisfied with immediately..."

"It's like this... I didn't know that ** was actually here before I came..." Chiang Kai-shek's first sentence surprised Cao Xiaomin: How could ** come unexpectedly? But Chiang Kai-shek would never deceive everyone on such issues!

"Before this, I sent a message to Yan'an, that is, the Kuomintang is willing to solve domestic problems peacefully and hold the highest level of talks with **..." Chiang Kai-shek said: "But I didn't expect ** to appear. To be honest, I was also shocked at that time..."

"Yes, the Commissioner wants to spy on **'s attitude..." Wang Shijie took over the topic: "The Commissioner wants to create a favorable situation in the political situation first, so the Chongqing newspaper also specially arranged the Chairman of the Publication Office's attitude towards the future political development in China today, but he did not expect that the Commissioner came in person..."

"Can I check out the newspaper's publication first?" Cao Xiaomin was very surprised again: he had never read this manuscript, but it is very likely that ** already knew the content of this press release, and it is very likely that his trip to Taiyuan was for this press release. All his speeches before he had never seen this manuscript were unreasonable!

The manuscript was preserved and brought by Chen Bulei, and Chiang Kai-shek immediately ordered someone to take it. Cao Xiaomin sighed in his heart: Don’t look at a person like Chiang Kai-shek, in fact, he has an impetuous side!

I thought it was just a test of someone's attitude, but I didn't expect that they would come. I wanted to create a situation, but I was beaten with a snake and stuck... He just felt a little strange, such a high-level talk. Why was the conditions listed by the other party and Chiang Kai-shek did not make a case in hand, and he was still thinking about the other party's proposal with everyone!

"Before the document has not arrived yet, I want to say the same thing. This time, ** obviously came prepared, but we were caught off guard. I think his proposal might be published in Chongqing on the same day. In their response, I can infer this point before I read the manuscript..." Cao Xiaomin paused: "Last time we cleaned the internally, but I can be sure that there are still spies inside, and the level is very high, so that ** can know in advance that people of the level, including Dean Wang and De Gong, do not know the content. It is just a policy decision of the committee's ideas. This is very dangerous. It seems that we need to do another deep digging operation inside..."

Yes! Why didn’t I expect this? As soon as Cao Xiaomin finished speaking, Chiang Kai-shek felt like he was suddenly enlightened: ** is not a god, why did he be so intimate about the deployment of these actions? If it weren’t for the person he was around him... Cao Xiaomin’s eyes would be like a torch!

While everyone was still discussing this issue, Chen Bulei’s news release has arrived...

Cao Xiaomin glanced at him again: "By the way, ** was completely speaking to the committee's speech... As for his opinion..." He pondered. In fact, he understood, but he didn't know where to start: Chiang Kai-shek was simply testing Yan'an's attitude, and he was not prepared to truly negotiate with Yan'an. He just thought about how to weaken the other side and completely eliminated it in the end, so he did not make people prepare the Kuomintang's proposal for a peaceful country!

But in his position, how could he understand the leader’s true thoughts as soon as he opened his mouth? Chiang Kai-shek’s temptation was not just a temptation. At present, **’s power is very strong, and Yan'an has no power to compete with the National Government for a day. So Chiang Kai-shek used a relatively tough attitude to publicly ask for ** in the newspaper. But ** came to Taiyuan in person and resolved all this...

"** did not make any request... Cao Xiaomin began to summarize the proposal of **, but his statement was very clever; first, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party must cooperate sincerely, take the anti-Japanese war as the prerequisite to seek common ground while reserving differences, and maintain the great unity of the Chinese nation in the war of resistance..." Cao Xiaomin sighed softly: "** is too cunning and too good at speaking. Just imagine that once such clauses are published, which party and people of all walks of life in the country will not agree? Look at the second article, the two parties should be resolved in a dialogue manner.

All internal contradictions always maintain a consistent general position to the outside world, and transition to the peaceful construction of the country in the future with peaceful adjustments. It is another clause that cannot be denied! As for the third article, long-term cooperation, resolutely avoid civil war, build a new China with freedom and prosperity, and thoroughly implement the Three Principles of the People. It seems that it is an extension of the first two irresistible and unnegative clauses, and it proposes to realize the Three Principles of the People, which makes us unable to object. However, resolutely avoiding civil war is a change of concept.

Is the civil war necessarily based on the premise of destroying the war of resistance? Can't it be the matter after the Sino-Japanese issue be resolved? Yan'an must be afraid of the strength of our army and does not want to have military conflicts with us, but they tied this with the anti-Japanese war. Obviously, once we have a military conflict between us, it will easily give people the impression that we are going to break peace and engage in civil war... There are nine other things. If we look at them one by one, we will find that ** has not really made any substantive demands, but they have used this time

Peace talks tie all their demands to the righteousness of the country and nation, and these contents will definitely appear in the central media. In this way, he used propaganda power to easily resolve our military advantages; unless we initiate wars at all, it will be difficult to explain this truth clearly... This is not a negotiation, but a control of the people's thoughts and the so-called moral commanding heights through negotiation wars! His real purpose is to make it difficult for us to take the initiative to launch military operations!"

Ah! That's it! Chiang Kai-shek felt enlightened again: That's right! This is **'s true intention... But everyone, including himself, was still exploring the details of this document, only Cao Xiaomin saw through the essence of things at a glance. Now ** is weak, and he is the dominant central government. They demand democracy and peace. In fact, they just want to tie up **'s hands and feet in propaganda and dare not take action easily? If ** continues to implement military threats, it will become a destruction of the War of Resistance, and there is no unanimity to the outside world or even implement personal ** under the guise of the Three Principles of the People! When Chiang Kai-shek thought of this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart: Why don't you ask Cao Xiaomin for his opinion before making this decision? This is a top expert in propaganda war!

Cao Xiaomin's quick reaction and insight into the intention of ** also surprised Li Zongren, Wang Jingwei and others: Like Chiang Kai-shek, everyone was shaken by the terms of ** and didn't see the other person's intentions clearly!

Li Zongren sighed in his heart: If this person has been valued by Chiang Kai-shek, then his intention to compete in the Central Plains will be unfulfilled! Wang Jingwei sighed: Why is such a talent not his own iron ally?

Only Cao Xiaomin was trembling: Don’t let Chiang Kai-shek find that he had a clear understanding of what he thought!

Cao Xiaomin, who thought he would have the opportunity to change the fate of the entire China this time, was another feeling in his heart. This was not a big negotiation for China's future, but another secret struggle between the two parties under the mask of peace... Does China really have no chance to seize the opportunity of the world war? Cao Xiaomin felt a sense of unwillingness to be poured out...

"In the next round of negotiations, I think we will meet **..." Cao Xiaomin looked at Chiang Kai-shek. Face-to-face battles are always better than fighting across the mountains. I am a soldier and like to be bayonets!

"Today is to exchange everyone's negotiation proposals. We will attend the next round of formal talks..." Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "You will have a chance to fight with ** soon. We are all waiting to see the bayonets of Liehou beating!" (To be continued.
