The special envoy sent by the Chongqing government to Western Australia this time is very interesting, among the four government envoys, two members of the Kuomintang and two members of the Communist Party, the meaning of which makes Zhuo Fei laugh secretly. The CCP sent Zhou Enlai and Chen Geng, who had commanded the 1st Independent Division in the Independent Army, while the Kuomintang sent Chiang Ching-kuo, who had several connections with Zhuo Fei, and Dai Anlan, commander of the armored forces of the New Army. Among these four people, three of them are people that Zhuo Fei admires, and Jiang Weiguo is also not an ordinary person.

took the military plane all the way south, although the speed of going south was much faster than taking the land route, but the four of them were still exhausted all the way. The first of the four to meet Zhuo Fei was Zhou Enlai, and while the other three were asleep in the room, the thin Zhou Enlai appeared in Zhuo Fei's office. "Boss Zhuo is really young and promising, the former desolate Western Australia is actually built so prosperous, I think, if Boss Zhuo is given enough time, this place may not be worse than Paris or New York."

Zhou Enlai, who met Zhuo Fei again, did not feel the slightest discomfort and embarrassment, and praised Zhuo Fei fiercely between his words, but there was a trace of vigilance between Zhuo Fei's eyebrows. "Mr. Zhou, there are only you and me here, so it's better to just say the intention, I want to go straight." Zhou Enlai's attitude seemed very sincere, but Zhuo Fei went straight to the point.

"Okay, since Boss Zhuo is quick to talk, then I'll just say it." Zhuo Fei's straight to the point did not seem to surprise Zhou Enlai's expectations, but the hesitation that flashed in Zhou Enlai's eyes did not escape Zhuo Fei's eyes. "I believe in domestic affairs, Boss Zhuo, you already know, we came this time to continue to cooperate with Boss Zhuo, and hope that the umbrella company can train a new army of 300,000 people for us."

Zhuo Fei didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but picked up the cigarette on the table and lit one, and after pondering for a while, Zhuo Fei asked, "Mr. Zhou, can I know whether this matter is the intention of your CCP or the coalition government?" When Zhuo Fei said this, he deliberately put an accent on the words of the CCP and the coalition government, and Zhuo Fei believed that Zhou Enlai could hear what he wanted to express.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhuo Fei's words, Zhou Enlai smiled, "Boss Zhuo, according to the rules of mercenaries, it seems that the employer has no obligation to tell everything." What does the CCP mean? What does it mean to be a coalition government? The umbrella company only needs to train the new army according to the contract, as for whose meaning it is, does the question matter? Zhou Enlai's rhetorical question made Zhuo Fei unconsciously narrow his eyes, and the guards who often accompanied Zhuo Fei knew that once Zhuo Fei showed this expression, it meant that Zhuo Fei was going to be angry.

"Mr. Zhou, I don't know what you think of the Umbrella Company, but as far as I know, the Umbrella Company has never harmed China's interests. What you just said is very correct, how about the CCP? And what about a coalition government? The umbrella doesn't care about politics and doesn't want to be involved with politics. I've guessed a little bit about your intentions, but I want to say that if you're fighting the Japanese, I'm willing to help you train new soldiers. But if you're fighting for your own people, then the Umbrella Company won't be involved in this, that's my attitude. ”

Zhuo Fei had been preparing for the retreat of the umbrella company for a long time, and the reason why he moved his headquarters to Western Australia was to avoid the possible civil war after the Anti-Japanese War. If there was no civil war, perhaps China would have recovered more quickly after the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and if there had not been that civil war, the Chinese army would have dozens of excellent commanders and more than a million elite soldiers, and such a China would never have dared to be easily provoked by European countries.

Zhuo Fei tried his best to promote the cooperation between the CCP and the Kuomintang in order to avoid a civil war, but he never imagined that the trajectory of history would be so stubborn, no matter how hard he tried, China was still facing the clouds of civil war. Rejecting Zhou Enlai's offer, Zhuo Fei then excused himself to be busy, and it wasn't until the third day that Zhuo Fei found time to meet with the four of them. During the two days of deliberately avoiding the four people, Zhuo Fei and his staff made repeated deductions, and finally agreed that it was the best policy for the umbrella to strictly adhere to the neutral side.

Zhuo Fei will not participate in the civil war, no matter which side wins or loses, it is still Chinese, Chinese cannibalism will only make outsiders happy. In order to meet with the four of them this time, Zhuo Fei made some preparations, Australia's rich marine resources showed its advantages at this time, especially the lobster on the table that was more than 3 feet long, which had already made Chen Geng and Dai Anlan, the two generals, move their index fingers.

Eating is eating, no one at the table mentions important things, and several people talk about idle things. After the meal, when a few people went to Zhuo Fei's study, the atmosphere gradually became serious. The first to speak was Jiang Weiguo, when he left Chongqing, Jiang Weiguo was instructed by Chiang Kai-shek face-to-face, and asked him to understand Zhuo Fei's attitude and position this time, especially Zhuo Fei's attitude towards the Ruili Ordnance Base.

"Jiang Gong once mentioned this problem to me, and my opinion is that Ruili's ordnance base will not be relocated south. If you want to take over the Ruili Ordnance Base, I agree with it, but there is one thing, the Ruili Ordnance Base cannot be handed over to you for nothing, and it will cost real money. The umbrella is a company, since it is a company, we must think about the company's employees, I can't give you the Ruili Ordnance Base directly, which is not in the interests of our umbrella company. ”

Zhuo Fei's attitude made Jiang Weiguo breathe a sigh of relief, he finally lived up to his father's entrustment, as for the real money that Zhuo Fei said, it could be solved by bargaining. Seeing that Jiang Weiguo first asked about the Ruili Ordnance Base, and obtained Zhuo Fei's positive attitude, Chen Geng was a little anxious, he had received a short training in the Ruili Training Camp, and naturally knew the scale and role of the Ruili Ordnance Base. "General Zhuo, if we pay to order a batch of arms from Ruili, can we get some discounts on the cost?"

Chen Geng's tentative inquiry made Zhuo Fei very happy, these four in front of him were not fuel-efficient lamps. "Guys, I'm welcome to come to Western Australia, but you have to know that our umbrella company is just a small joint-stock defense company. We at the Umbrella Company don't want to have anything to do with politics, in fact, I already know what you're here for, and I want to say that I'm not going to let the Umbrella Company get involved in your business, that's our attitude. ”

Before the matter was discussed, it had reached the point where it could not be ended, neither Jiang Weiguo nor Zhou Enlai thought that only Chen Geng was secretly happy among the four, at least he had made the Kuomintang control of the Ruili Ordnance Base come to naught. The night before the four of them left Western Australia, Jiang Weiguo was taken to Zhuo Fei's residence, and the two talked deeply all night behind closed doors. Except for the two people involved, no one else knew what they said, and when Jiang Weiguo returned to Chongqing, he went to the villa on the south bank to meet Chiang Kai-shek as soon as possible.

"That's what he told you?" Chiang Kai-shek, who was sitting in the chair, couldn't help but put a straight face, which put Jiang Weiguo, who was sitting opposite him, under pressure.

"Yes, father, these are Zhuo Fei's original words. He also said that since they are all Chinese, all of them are working hard for China's rejuvenation, why should they kill each other to make foreigners see jokes. Having said this, Jiang Weiguo couldn't help but secretly look at Chiang Kai-shek's expression at this time, and seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was still expressionless, Jiang Weiguo had to continue talking. Zhuo Fei also said that the separation of the military and the government is the trend of the times, and only by separating the military and the government can the central government control the localities, otherwise China will still be like the Republic of China to divide the country by force. ”

He also said that the multi-party system can be tried, but it cannot become the foundation of China, after all, China's national conditions are different from those of Europe and the United States. The integrity of officials will be the key to the governance of a political party, and if the integrity of party officials cannot be guaranteed, the ruling party will inevitably become the target of attacks by other political parties. Starting from small things and starting small, a clean and efficient ruling party is the fortunate thing for the Chinese. War alone will not solve the fundamental problems of work, war will only make China more and more impoverished, and those who start civil war will become sinners of the country and the nation. ”

Chiang Weiguo's relays of Zhuo Fei's words made Chiang Kai-shek's anger surge into anger, but Chiang Kai-shek had no way to punish Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Western Australia. Forcibly enduring the evil spirit, Chiang Kai-shek asked astringently, "What else did he say besides these?" Jiang Weiguo did not dare to slack off, and handed over a piece of information he had compiled to Chiang Kai-shek, and stated that this information was provided to him by Zhuo Fei.

Chiang Kai-shek carefully read the information, and discussed some of the contents of the information with Jiang Weiguo for a while, and unconsciously, the anger towards Zhuo Fei also dissipated a little. "After all, he is Chinese, this kid is not a forgotten ancestor, you send him a telegram tomorrow, just say that I said, if you can't mix outside, my old man still left him a room here."

Chiang Kai-shek's expected response did not appear, and he couldn't help but look at Jiang Weiguo, only to see that Jiang Weiguo, who had always been serious, was opening his mouth wide at this moment to show a stupid expression. Asked the reason, Jiang Weiguo came back to his senses and responded bluntly, "Father, Zhuo Fei also said what you said. He said that he will build you a villa in Western Australia that is no less than the size of the White House in the United States, and if one day your father can't get along in China, he hopes that your father can go to Australia to spend his old age in peace. ”

When he said this, Jiang Weiguo immediately regretted it, he was afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would be angry because of Zhuo Fei's words. After being silent for a while with a calm face, Chiang Kai-shek let out a sigh of hatred and said, "This kid doesn't suffer at all." ”
