Before the battle of Zhifeng, did Wu have the strength to unify China?

It turns out that Soviet Russia and * * * production international took a fancy to Wu at the beginning, while Li Dazhao and Wu were cronies and were old friends with Bai Jianwu of the General Staff Department, so Li also rightfully tried to bridge the gap and ran between Beijing and Los Angeles, so that * * * production international supported Wu. Therefore, at the beginning, the relations between Ukraine and Moscow and the newly established China were relatively harmonious and warm. Therefore, Li Dazhao and Zhang were able to engage in the workers' movement in Changxindian and along the railway under Wu's acquiescence and control. But in the end, Wu fell out with Soviet Russia on the issue of outer Mongolia, went on strike on the railway, and Wu Sui suppressed it. In the eyes of the other side, he changed from a progressive patriotic general to a reactionary warlord who slaughtered the workers and the masses.

Under the operation of Li Dazhao, * * * production international and Soviet Russia turned to re-select the object, and in the north, they chose Feng Yuxiang who was oppressed by Wu in the direct warlord group, and in the south, Chen Jiongming began to expel those who were forced to cramp in Shanghai in Guangdong and Guangxi. Sun and Feng are not as stubborn as Wu (or they are capricious Chu tyrants and petty bosses). Are better than the old-school literati like Wu, and immediately collude with Moscow. So I began to get assistance from Russia.

If Wu had not turned against Russia, he might have been reunified (at least in the north) with the strong support of Russia. In fact, everyone knows that without the assistance of the Soviet Union and at the expense of the property of the local people, it is impossible for the Kuomintang to win the Northern Expedition, and it is impossible for Feng Jun, which was beaten out of the water by the two armies at Nankou, to make a comeback. By the time of the victory of 1949, the actual material assistance received from Moscow was not as good as that received by the Kuomintang, that is, it was less than 10% of that given to Feng Yuxiang in recent years.

The straight line belongs to the pro-Anglo-American school. But Britain and the United States pay more attention to commercial interests, unlike Japan and Russia, which are willing to invest in China. Before the second direct service war began, both Japan and Russia began to overthrow Wu. Feng accepted Soviet aid on the one hand and huge bribes from Japan on the other. Wu has laid the foundation for failure.
