"What do you think of this telegram?" In the caves of Yan'an, in the smoke-filled rooms, almost all the top leaders of the Communist Party sat about the precedent that Zhou Enlai sent from Chongqing overnight. Zhuo Fei's ultimate plan was too important for Zhou Enlai to mention in the telegram, but Zhou Enlai used the ultimate secret language in the CCP's telegram contact, once this secret word was used, it represented the importance and urgency of the event.

"Enlai has always been cautious, I think there must be a reason for him to indicate the secret words in the telegram, I am just worried about Jiang's invitation, in case Lao Jiang is playing tricks again, then wouldn't our CCP high-level leaders be given a nest by Lao Jiang in Chongqing?" It is not unreasonable for some people to raise such questions, Chiang Kai-shek has gone back on his word more than once, in case this is a Hongmen banquet, then Chongqing is the territory of the Kuomintang, but anyone with brains knows that this trip to Chongqing will be very dangerous.

"I don't think so, if the telegram was sent by Comrade Enlai from Chongqing, it means that he must have met Chiang Kai-shek. Comrade Enlai, who has worked in enemy-occupied areas for a long time and has rich experience in the struggle against the enemy, would not have sent such a telegram to Yan'an if he had not been sure of Chiang Kai-shek's intentions. Since this telegram was sent by Zhou Enlai from Chongqing, Zhu De thought that the trip to Chongqing was worth a try.

The cave was full of disputes, some in favor of going to Chongqing to meet Chiang Kai-shek, some in disagreement, and even suggested that Chiang Kai-shek, who proposed the meeting, should be called to Yan'an. Mao Zedong, who had not spoken for a long time, was smoking a cigarette, but in fact he was hesitating in his heart, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in China was becoming increasingly difficult, the national army had lost a large area in a row, and the Eighth Route Army had not yet found an opportunity to attack, such a situation was too depressing.

"Lao Deng, you say, should this old Jiang's invitation go?" Mao Zedong turned his face to look at ***, who was also not involved in the dispute like himself, and then asked the other party. Now he is the political commissar of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, because he participated in the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Enlarged Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held in Yan'an.

"I think we should go this time at Lao Jiang's invitation." The voice made the quarrelsome cave suddenly fall silent, "The boss is right, Comrade Enlai's judgment is better than all of us here, and it is impossible for him not to see through whether Lao Jiang will set a trap." Since Comrade Enlai was able to send a telegram from Chongqing, this shows that Lao Chiang's invitation is genuine, comrades, it is not easy for Lao Chiang to sincerely invite us to Chongqing for talks, and I think we should cherish this opportunity. ”

The words are not very comprehensive, but Mao Zedong has nodded secretly, indeed, as *** just said, Lao Jiang can sincerely invite the CCP high-level to Chongqing for talks, which is not easy in itself. Since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have been familiar with and advocated the need to join hands to resist the war, but in fact, the friction between the two parties has intensified. As far as the current situation of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is concerned, this phenomenon is very abnormal, and not only will it not promote the entire situation of the War of Resistance against Japan, but will give the Japanese army an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Since someone has already sent an invitation, let's take a look, his Jiang someone's mansion is not a Longtan tiger's den. We revolutionaries are all atheists, when the time comes, don't care about the Longtan Tiger's Den, you can break his Longtan Tiger's Den and continue to stride forward. Seeing that the attitude of those who opposed it had wavered, Mao Zedong finally decided that he would personally go to Chongqing to hold talks between the two parties with Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek sent an invitation to Yan'an at Zhuo Fei's suggestion, inviting the CCP's top leaders to Chongqing for talks, but in fact he always believed that Yan'an was likely to appoint Zhou Enlai, who was already in Chongqing, as plenipotentiary. "Chairman of the Committee, Yan'an called back, ** has replied, agreeing to come to Chongqing for talks." The attendant came in from outside with a look of astonishment, and handed Chiang Kai-shek a telegram that had just been received and translated.

Chiang Kai-shek was also skeptical, but after he read the telegram, especially after reading the names in the middle of the telegram, he couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyes, for fear that he was blind. But regardless of whether Chiang Kai-shek rubbed his eyes or not, the content of the message has changed at all, it is indeed the Chinese Communists who have come to Chongqing for talks, and this is a collective activity of the top level of the Chinese Communists, and the names of almost all the top leaders of the Chinese Communists recorded by the military commanders appear in this travel list.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was so excited, immediately sent his attendants to bring Zhuo Fei and those staff members to his official residence and began to discuss the matter of welcoming the CCP delegation. The CCP's high-level people poured out, which is undoubtedly a big deal, and Zhuo Fei, who was called urgently, was also excited, and now he has the opportunity to meet more leaders. Zhou Enlai was late, but Chiang Kai-shek left the closest position to him to Zhou Enlai to show his attitude towards the talks.

"Enlai, I just received a reply from Yan'an, this time you CPC leaders will come to Chongqing to participate in talks. We just briefly discussed, do you see if I need to send my transfer to Yan'an to pick up Mr. Runzhi and his party, so that although the flight time from Yan'an to Chongqing will be longer, it will only take four or five hours in time. After yesterday's discussion, Zhou Enlai already knew Chiang Kai-shek's true thoughts, and as long as the entanglements between the two parties were put aside, Zhou Enlai must also admit that Chiang Kai-shek was also a patriot.

"Jiang Gong, forget about the plane, there is no airport in Yan'an, I think, it is better to let them go to Xi'an first, and then take the plane to Chongqing first. In this case, although the time may be much later, it can only be like this now, after all, the conditions in Yan'an are not very good. Zhou Enlai naturally hoped that the delegation sent by Yan'an could come to Chongqing as soon as possible, but the current conditions did not allow his desire to be realized.

"Okay, I'll have someone send a telegram to the Xi'an Administration, and now ask them to send a vehicle to Yan'an, and then my plane will depart from Chongqing immediately, and then I've been waiting for them at the airport." Chiang Kai-shek, who was also eagerly looking forward to talks with the Chinese Communists, immediately sent a telegram to the Xi'an Administration. After receiving the telegram from the chairman's residence, the people in the Xi'an Administration were all dumbfounded, when did the KMT and the Communist Party become so friendly, and the chairman of the NPC would personally order the Xi'an Administration to send the best vehicles to Yan'an to pick up people. But this is really the order of the chairman, and even if they don't understand it, those of them who receive the order can only follow it.

If it was said that before leaving, the CCP high-level still had a trace of doubts about Chiang Kai-shek's invitation, but after seeing the convoy sent by the Xi'an Administration of the Nationalist Government to pick up people, the CCP high-level finally believed that Lao Chiang was really preparing to hold talks with the CCP this time. "Okay, let's be a rich man again, his old Jiang's special plane is not something that anyone can sit on." Rushing to Xi'an Airport in the dust, the CCP delegation and others really saw Chiang Kai-shek's special plane parked in the airport runway.

There are only more than 800 kilometers from Xi'an to Chongqing, and the plane is still a straight line distance in the sky, and the Chinese Communist delegation has just adapted to the feeling of flying in the sky, and the plane has already entered the border of Sichuan. "Lao Jiang has invested so much money this time, and it is both a convoy and a special plane, I estimate that this meeting may reach some consensus, and it is not impossible that Lao Jiang will take the initiative to make some concessions." Zhu De and Mao Zedong talked in a low voice, Zhu De thought that Chiang Kai-shek was so sincere, it was because the national army on the main battlefield could not stand it, and this meeting was actually to call the Eighth Route Army into the main battlefield.

Zhu De's words won Mao Zedong's approval, and the Nationalist army was currently confronting the Japanese army in Wuhan, and the intelligence sent back from the Eighth Route Army's office in Wuhan showed that the situation in Wuhan was obviously unfavorable to the Nationalist army, and if the recent war did not change much, the fall of Wuhan would have become a foregone conclusion. In such a situation, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly invited the CCP's high-level leaders to Chongqing for talks, and he showed such enthusiasm that no one would wonder if this was Chiang's gentle means.

"We must not let go of our military affairs, our Eighth Route Army has just been formed, and we still lack experience in large-scale combat on the frontal battlefield. Besides, the national army has always been the main force on the frontal battlefield, so our Eighth Route Army will not join in the excitement, just beat our side drums. Hearing the content of the conversation between the two, he also added a sentence in a timely manner, his words won the nod of the two at the same time, in the current situation, the Eighth Route Army is indeed not suitable to enter the main battlefield to fight.

The plane entered Sichuan and flew toward Chongqing, and the members of the Chinese communist delegation in the cabin also gathered together in pairs and whispered to each other, and the content of their conversation was nothing more than how to guard against the surveillance of the military command in Chongqing and how to win enough voice and interests for the Chinese communists during the talks. None of the members of the delegation would have thought of Chiang Kai-shek's real purpose in inviting them to Chongqing, and they were still trying to figure out Chiang Kai-shek's intentions according to their original routines, but they did not know that they were all wrong.

It was getting dark, and Zhou Enlai, who was waiting at the airport, couldn't help but be a little anxious, Zhuo Fei volunteered to recommend himself to Chiang Kai-shek Mao Sui to be in charge of the security affairs of the CCP delegation, so he would also wait at the airport. "Zhou Gong, don't worry, it is said that Jiang Gong's special plane is very comfortable and safe, and there is no news from the tower yet, which means that everything is going well." As soon as Zhuo Fei's words fell, he saw that the runway, which was still pitch black just now, suddenly lit up, and the indicator light under the belly of the plane flashed in mid-air.
