Zhuo Fei's plan involved too much, and none of the staff members who were summoned to the official residence by Chiang Kai-shek dared to speak first, they were not afraid but responsible, and Zhuo Fei's plan also had a part of cooperation with the CCP. The CCP has always been Chiang Kai-shek's hated enemy, and the previous cooperation with the CCP was only a temporary compromise in the face of the Japanese army's full-scale aggression, but if Chiang Kai-shek was persuaded to really put down everything and cooperate with the CCP, these aides would not have the courage to do so.

There was silence in the study for a while, and before Chiang Kai-shek opened his mouth to express his position, no one, including Zhuo Fei, would be willing to speak first. Chiang Kai-shek himself also thought repeatedly in his heart that cooperating with the CCP was a hurdle in his heart, no one could help him, and the only one who could make the decision in the end was himself. Chiang Kai-shek did not want to sincerely cooperate with the CCP, because in his view, the Nationalist Government was orthodox, and the CCP was just a military force like the Liukou, and the orthodoxy bowed to the Liukou and made peace, which was somewhat difficult for him to accept.

After a moment of silence in the study, Zhuo Fei finally had the courage to break the silence, "Chairman, I heard that the Wuhan office of the Eighth Route Army has been transferred to Chongqing, so it is better to send someone to inform the representatives of the Eighth Route Army in Chongqing first, and invite their high-level officials to come over to discuss this plan. Zhuo Fei's words broke the silence in the study, and the staff members also echoed a few words, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was almost about to let go of his knot, also nodded his head by taking advantage of the donkey to get off the slope.

The Eighth Route Army has not yet formally set up an office in Chongqing, and the previous one stationed in Chongqing was only a so-called communications office, which was in charge of Zhou Yi, who was transferred to Chongqing from Wuhan, and the address of the communications office was at No. 70 Jifang Street, Chongqing. After receiving the invitation letter from the chairman's residence, Zhou Yi was puzzled and was very surprised, but this invitation letter was signed by Chiang Kai-shek, and Zhou Yi immediately sent the matter to the Yan'an and Wuhan offices by telegram.

Most of the high-level leaders of the Communist Party of China were in Yan'an, and Zhou Enlai was in charge of the affairs of the office in Wuhan, and when he received a telegram from Zhou Yi from Chongqing, both Yan'an and Zhou Enlai in Wuhan were very surprised. After urgent discussions, Zhou Enlai, who was far away in Wuhan, immediately called Zhou Yi back, saying that he would come to Chongqing to meet with Chiang Kai-shek on behalf of the CCP, and the matter had been unanimously agreed by the CCP's top leadership.

Wuhan is less than 900 kilometers away from Chongqing, and under the coordination of Chiang Kai-shek, the Wuhan Theater urgently mobilized a transport plane to help Zhou Enlai rush to Chongqing at night. During the period of waiting for Zhou Enlai to come to Chongqing, Zhuo Fei and the others were not idle, and they all gathered in Chiang Kai-shek's official residence to have a serious and heated discussion around Zhuo Fei's ultimate plan, and gradually improve the loopholes and deficiencies in the plan.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, Chiang Kai-shek's guards finally picked up Zhou Enlai, who had just gotten off the plane from the airport, and the latter was extremely confused, not knowing what Chiang Kai-shek was anxious about, and had to meet in a hurry in the middle of the night. It was only after Zhou Enlai took Chiang Kai-shek's special car into the South Bank villa and met Chiang Kai-shek and his staff that Zhou Enlai understood the seriousness of the matter. The entire chairman's residence has been protected by Chiang Kai-shek's guards on three floors and three layers outside, and the conference living room of the official residence has also been arranged to look like a war room.

Zhou Enlai used to be the director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he was not a stranger to Chiang Kai-shek, and it was for this reason that the CCP's top brass agreed that Zhou Enlai, who was far away in Wuhan, would rush to Chongqing to meet with Chiang Kai-shek. The people present were Chiang Kai-shek's most reassuring staff, and Zhou Enlai was familiar with them, but Zhuo Fei, a young man, Zhou Enlai saw it for the first time, and Zhuo Fei was arguing with Chiang Kai-shek at the moment.

"Jiexiu Gong, where did this young man come from? How dare you argue with the chairman of the committee like this? Zhou Enlai's entourage had been blocked out of the conference hall, and seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was still arguing with the young man, Zhou Enlai asked an acquaintance beside him.

"Zhou Gong is asking that kid, ho, this kid is not simple. If it weren't for this kid to bewitch the chairman and me, I'm afraid the chairman wouldn't have sent a transport plane to summon Zhou Gong from Wuhan. The person who was asked by Zhou Enlai first gossiped a few words, and then lowered his voice and explained to Zhou Enlai, "This young man's name is Zhuo Fei, he has just returned from Europe, and there are more than 100,000 Jews in Longyun, Yunnan, and it is the handiwork of this kid." In short, this kid is a capable man, and a powerful man. ”

While the two were whispering, the dispute between Chiang Kai-shek and Zhuo Fei had come to an end, and seeing that Zhou Enlai had arrived, Chiang Kai-shek's face immediately softened. "Enlai, come, come, I'll introduce you to a young talent." Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai handed him over and introduced Zhuo Fei to him. Chiang Kai-shek valued the young man in front of him so much, which made Zhou Enlai a little secretly surprised, and then looking at Zhuo Fei's appearance and accent, he didn't look like Chiang Kai-shek's fellow villagers.

"Zhou Gonghao" was able to see the living prime minister with his own eyes, Zhuo Fei was more excited than ever, but in front of Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuo Fei could only forcibly suppress this excitement in his heart, but the slightly twitching corners of his eyes had already exposed the excitement in his heart. Zhuo Fei kicked off the new peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party with a military salute, and in front of Chiang Kai-shek and others, Zhuo Fei recounted his ultimate plan for Zhou Enlai.

At present, when the Japanese invaders were advancing, Zhou Enlai was urgently recruited to Chongqing by Chiang Kai-shek, and he thought that what Chiang Kai-shek was talking about was only about the War of Resistance, but he never expected that Chiang Kai-shek had come up with such a shocking plan here. "I would like to know, Chairman, how sure you are of this plan?" After pondering for a moment, Zhou Enlai immediately put aside the part of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and instead asked Chiang Kai-shek's attitude and confidence in this plan.

"Now there are 30 percent, and if the Germans provoke a war in Europe next September, and the war goes in line with what we expected, I have 70 percent certainty." When Chiang Kai-shek replied to Zhou Enlai, his expression was extraordinarily sincere, but then the conversation turned to Zhuo Fei. "You should ask him about the plan, he is the one who made the whole plan, and he is the one who does all the preliminary things."

Zhuo Fei saw that Chiang Kai-shek had given the topic back to him, so he was no longer ambiguous, and instead assured Zhou Enlai, "Duke Zhou, as long as the Kuomintang and the Communist Party can sit down and cooperate sincerely, this plan will be fifty percent certain." Not to mention the follow-up part of this plan, at least we can completely drive the Japanese out of China before they completely destroy it. Extinguishing the flames of war at home as soon as possible was crucial for the rest of this plan, and only by mastering absolute force could the Japanese act in the direction we envisioned. ”

"Then if you promise to drive all the Japanese troops out of China within 2 years? You know, the Japanese are not muddy, our army has been shedding blood and dying on the front line. Zhou Enlai's words made the faces of Chiang Kai-shek and others change. Indeed, from the beginning of the Lugou Bridge, the Chinese army has not been able to achieve victory on the main battlefield, even if Taierzhuang is victorious, the casualties of the national army are higher than that of the Japanese army.

Zhuo Fei answered such a question very easily, "That can only be said that there is a problem with the strategy against the enemy formulated earlier, the Japanese army has better heavy weapons and equipment than us, they have aircraft, ships, artillery, tanks and armored vehicles, and it is impossible for us to defeat them head-on with only simple infantry equipment." Zhuo Fei's answer made Zhou Enlai's face change greatly, and this argument was almost the same as the surrender rhetoric of Wang Jingwei's government.

But Zhou Enlai's anger did not last long before disappearing, because Zhuo Fei's follow-up answer made him very satisfied, "Since there is a problem with the enemy's strategy, then we should adjust the strategy and use our strengths to fight the opponent's shortcomings as the best policy." China has a very large land area, and there is no need to worry about the gains and losses of one city or one place with the Japanese army, and the Japanese army relies on nothing more than their naval support, and the longer the battle line is stretched, the more unfavorable it will actually be to them. Organize one or two large force confrontations with the Japanese army, but we just can't hold out, and use small-scale guerrilla warfare to hit the Japanese supply lines and consume their living forces, I believe that the Japanese army will have a headache. ”

"The Jews I got from Europe are already building military factories, and once the military factories are completed and start production, I will be able to supply our army with a huge number of new rifles and equipment, and I don't know what advantage the Japanese army has in the face of our superior equipment and numbers. Even if it is a tactic of fighting a sea of people with the Japanese army, as long as we cooperate properly, I think the Japanese will not be able to fight, because this island nation itself does not have many soldiers of the right age. ”

Zhou Enlai is not good at military affairs, but his long-term intelligence career has given him keen observation and judgment, and it is not difficult to see from Zhuo Fei's explanation just now that this ultimate plan has actually been launched. Without China's participation, I am afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would have been determined to participate in it, and once this plan succeeds, it will be a great good thing for China.

"I need to contact the Yan'an side first, and if I can, I will persuade the top level of the CCP to come to Chongqing for talks with the chairman, and personally, I really can't find a reason to reject this plan." Zhou Enlai was very simple, after hearing the news of Chiang Kai-shek, Zhou Enlai immediately took his leave and returned to the communication office at No. 70 Jifang Street in Chongqing, and immediately sent a telegram to Yan'an.
