Chapter 4: Brothers (Part 4)

"Don't get me wrong, Chairman." He Guiyan smiled. Very candid explanation." I'm not trying to pick on a pick. It's that the energy is really not as good as it used to be. Every day, the affairs of the Military Commission alone are already very busy. It is also in charge of the Military Command Bureau. It's a bit overwhelming."

"You're two years younger than me. I dare to say that I don't have enough energy.." Chiang Kai-shek smiled again and counted a sentence. I finally feel better. Thought about it. continued: "The director of the Military Command Bureau. You're going to continue to do both. When did the people below have matured? When will it be handed over to them again. Don't try to go back when you get into a little difficulty. In my memory. You, He Yaozu, are not a person who has no responsibility."

"Dai Yunong is enough to take on the responsibility. The affairs of the Military Command Bureau. It is also him and Xiaomao who are hosting. I really don't need to poke it there like a tablet anymore. Not only did it not do any good. On the contrary, they can't let go of their young people." He Guiyan shook his head. Continue to insist on resignation. Got along with Chiang Kai-shek for so many years. He is well aware of the temperament of the other party. Now that I feel that I am no longer suitable to preside over the affairs of the Central Union. It's best to get out of it as soon as possible. Otherwise. One day I really had to force myself to go. The relationship between each other is difficult.

"Ugh." Chiang Kai-shek sighed softly. Know no matter what you say. He Guiyan will not continue to serve as the director of the Central Bureau of Statistics. Hesitated. Continuing in a consultative tone, he said, "In that case. You're at the next daily meeting of the Military Council. Suggest a suitable candidate to replace you. No matter who it is. I'm all for your choice."

"Yu Nong is very good. Competent. It is also well-known in the Military Control Bureau. Zheng Jiemin can be his deputy. Xiao Mao takes over Zheng Jiemin's position. Be the chief secretary." As if he was afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would repent. He Guiyan immediately made a decision.

Mao Renfeng's heart was hot when he heard it. The eyes immediately let out an aggressive light. Ye Xiufeng was also excited when he heard it beside him. muttered secretly. This He Guiyan is really good at being a man. I know that the preferred candidate for the chairman of the committee is Dai Yunong. I even pretend not to know. This time not only the chairman will find him empathetic. Dai Li, Zheng Jiemin, and Mao Renfeng, who took shit luck today. You have to read him well."

He Guiyan's harvest is much more than that. After all, Chiang Kai-shek felt in his heart that he was not in harmony with himself for one thing. will force the former right-hand man to retreat. Kind of sorry for this person. My mind turned. Make a decision quickly." Don't think you can be lazy! Since you don't plan to take care of the affairs of the Military Control Bureau. The question of negotiations with the Soviets. It's up to you. Anyway, you did the Turkish ambassador . Not unfamiliar with foreign affairs."

"Chairman. I'm really not in the same physical condition as I used to be." He Guiyan was stunned by the errand that was suddenly arranged for him. Instinctively I want to refuse. The Republic of China is riddled with scabies. The position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very awkward. Internationally. In addition to begging and concessions . Basically, you can't do anything serious. Therefore, it has been nicknamed "takeaway department" by the people. It's all grizzled.

"Rest assured. I'm not going to let you do diplomacy full-time. That's so wronged for you." Chiang Kai-shek was intent on giving He Guiyan some compensation. So try to give him tasks that are easy to achieve." Didn't the Soviets decide to increase their aid to China? It's up to you to talk to them about it. Loans are also good. Bartering is fine. Weapon support is also good. It's up to you to talk to them on my behalf. And also. Ask them to send a diplomatic plane to pick up the Mongolian county lord to Chongqing. It's entirely up to you. Don't be afraid to take responsibility. I'll hold you behind in everything. Whoever wants to find fault. Let him come to me directly." (Note 1)

This is simply trying to make He Guiyan show his face. Envious Ye Xiufeng and Mao Renfeng's eyes were on fire. He Guiyan was also very moved. Nodding. Said loudly: "Then I'll try hard. Try to live up to your trust."

"You, He Guiyan, have never failed me. Not in the past. There won't be one in the future. This. I've always believed it." Chiang Kai-shek smiled. There was a bit of emotion in the words.

This is not a kind word. In fact. Since the death of Sun Yat-sen, the former premier of the Kuomintang. He Guiyan stood by Chiang Kai-shek's side without hesitation. Whether it's in a hail of bullets. Or before rapids. Really did not give up. During the Northern Expedition. In order to stop the footsteps of the National Revolutionary Army. brazenly launched the Jinan Incident. The Nationalist Government did not have the courage to fight back. He talked to himself about the "Northern Expedition" and was spurned by the people of the whole country. In a flurry of boos. He Guiyan took the initiative to stand up and take all the responsibility. At the cost of being deprived of all the positions he held. Blocked the fingers of thousands of people for Chiang Kai-shek.

Soon. The contradiction between Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yuxiang broke out. The total strength of Feng's troops exceeded that of Chiang by nearly double. The momentum is overwhelming. Moment of truth. He Guiyan is a veteran of Xinhai. inciting Feng generals, Han Fuqu and Shi Yousan; The two of them electrified to "obey the central government" and cut off Feng Yuxiang's left arm and right foot before fighting.

1931. Chiang Kai-shek was forced out of the wilderness. There are many protégés who are old and ungrateful. But He Guiyan, who has been wronged repeatedly. But once again firmly on the side of Chiang Kai-shek. Not only did he do his best to run around for his comeback. also secretly wooed another Xinhai veteran Cheng Qian for him. So that Sun Yat-sen's son Sun Ke did not even sit in the seat of head of government. I had to take the initiative to let Xian. Once again, Chiang Kai-shek was asked to return to the Central Committee to preside over the overall situation.

Whichever one of these credits. are worthy of Chiang Kai-shek to remember in his heart for a lifetime. So he was no longer satisfied with He Guiyan's work. I don't want to bear the notorious name of being ungrateful. And He Guiyan didn't want too deep a rift in his friendship with Chiang Kai-shek. Listen to the other person bring up the old things again. Sighed too. Said quietly: "Jiegong has always treated me as a national soldier. Of course, He wanted to repay the countryman. I won't say anything superfluous. Within three months. I will let you see Soviet-made tanks and artillery in Chongqing. If you can't do it. I even took the initiative to resign from the post of chairman of the Military Commission."

"Think beautifully." Chiang Kai-shek smiled and pouted. The country is employing people on the occasion. Want to be lazy. How can I get what you want.. You will resign from the position of director of the Military Commission. If you can't cash in today. You can donate your property and car in your name. I'll give it to people to sell as they please. The money earned will also be able to equip another German armament regiment."

"Then my wife and children will be hungry." He Yaozu smiled. Protest in a low voice.

"Rest assured. There is a mouthful of food for me Jiang to eat. I won't be hungry for your He Guiyan family." Chiang Kai-shek also laughed. Promise it out loud.

After laughing. The estrangement between the two brothers was immediately dissolved. With the atmosphere of the whole room. It also warmed up.

Song Meiling, who lived upstairs, also heard the laughter in the small reception room. Instructed the kitchen to help prepare a new pot of coffee and a cup of boiled water. I brought it up with my own hands. He Guiyan, Mao Renfeng and Ye Xiufeng hurriedly got up to thank them. Song Meiling smiled. In a very low voice, he said, "Thank you. I should thank you guys. Since the Battle of Wuhan. Inside this house. It's been a long time since I've heard laughter."

"Ma'am." Thinking of the difficult state affairs in front of me. All three guests felt uncomfortable in their hearts. The world thinks that Chiang Kai-shek is in a high position. Be windy. Rain and rain. Who would have thought that he would be so sad that he would not be able to sleep. Even the people closest to me can't squeeze out a smile.

Chiang Kai-shek did not want others to sympathize with him. Shake your head. Laughing and complaining." What are you talking about. They are not the same as worrying about state affairs all day long. Including yourself. All Chinese . In such a difficult time. How can you be happy.."

"I just wish there was more laughter in the house." Song Meiling nodded elegantly to the guests. Turn around and leave. Looking at his wife's back and going out the door. Chiang Kai-shek picked up boiled water. While drinking. While continuing, "Don't listen to her complain. Women's home. It's just that the knowledge is short."

"Madame is no ordinary woman." How dare the three guests take this stubble. Shake your head. Denial in unison.

She wished she could marry and raise children like an ordinary woman. But in our home. Is it possible?" Chiang Kai-shek sighed in a low voice again. Shake your head. Strive to expel the regret from your body." Don't talk about that. Let's get down to business. That Si Qin's coming to Chongqing must be implemented as soon as possible. The little devil's nose has always been very smart. If they get the news. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Siqin to reach Fu Zuoyi's side alive. Not to mention, he arrived in Chongqing safely."

"Yes. Xiao Mao and I will go our separate ways as soon as we go back." He Guiyan nodded. Say yes loudly.

"**Over there. Don't let them dominate them." Chiang Kai-shek thought about it. Keep commanding." And that Peng. Peng Xuewen is right. Young people have a lot of ideas. Work proactively. These advantages need to be affirmed. But you old comrades. Should you instruct him or instruct him in time. Don't wait for him to make a mistake. Do that stupid thing with tears and tears again."

"Yes." Mao Renfeng replied out loud. There is this sentence from Chiang Kai-shek. Ye Xiufeng's previous false accusations completely lost their effect. He will continue to "exile" Peng Xuewen in the future. And there are good enough reasons for that. Regardless of the Peng family behind this person. Or his mentor Ma Hansan. I couldn't say anything anymore.

"According to the information that the Central Committee has learned. Deputy Stationmaster Peng was probably bewitched by his brother-in-law Zhang Songling. That's why I'm so close to **." Ye Xiufeng was unwilling to let Mao Renfeng and the Military Command Bureau behind him pass the test so easily. And take the opportunity to remind the other party. Go all out to get maggots.

"And this kind of thing. Don't you have a command?" Chiang Kai-shek's attention was hooked again. frowned and confirmed to Mao Renfeng.

"It can be said that there is. Or no." Mao Renfeng has been fully prepared for this. Thought about it. Explain with a smile." Here's what it looks like. That Peng Xuewen and Zhang Songling. They were all patriotic students back then. Before the Lugou Bridge Incident. The two once agreed to come to Nanjing together to join the army and serve the country. On the way, Zhang Songling and Peng Xuewen's sister looked at each other. The two of them made a private decision for life. I don't know. But their team didn't wait to get to Baoding. was hunted down by devils and traitors. The team was broken up on the spot. Peng Xuewen's sister also died in Zhang Songling's arms. And subsequently. Zhang Songling joined Sun Lianzhong's department. I became a cadet. Peng Xuewen was also rescued by Ma Hansan by mistake. Added the Central Union. When they meet again. Already on the steppe. Zhang Songling sneaked to Heishi Village in order to chase and kill a traitor. Peng Xuewen also wanted to avenge his brothers. Got the same goal."

It's a short word. But full of legends. Among them there is emotional drama. There are war scenes. There are also ups and downs in the fate of small people in the big era. Hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek almost forgot his original intention. Shoot the case with your hands. Angrily commented, "This Japanese is really hateful. Dealing with unarmed students. What kind of ability.."

"The Japanese have always thought . The young students were the most radical in their anti-Japanese attitude. So last year's Lugou Bridge Incident began. directly assaulted the 20th Road School Barracks. Slaughtered more than 5,000 students inside." He Guiyan sighed again. Whispered supplements.

"Mother's ass. This account. Sooner or later, I'll have to figure it out with them." The more Chiang Kai-shek thought about it, the more angry he became. I slapped the water glasses on the table and jumped up.

Ye Xiufeng jumped over with agility that was extremely incommensurate with his appearance. Catch the water glass that is about to land." If there is no ** person pulling back the legs. It won't take us long. will be able to realize the chairman's plan of revenge."

The three words "**" are the bitter gall of Chiang Kai-shek hanging in front of him. Just mention it. I immediately thought of the shame of being imprisoned in Xi'an. The brow quickly furrowed into a pimple. Looking at He Guiyan. Shen asked in a deep voice, "I remember the last time I was here. I told you about this little guy surnamed Zhang. I wanted you to pay more attention to him. How only a few days. He's already become a ** person over there.."

"That's right." I'm afraid that He Guiyan's words don't match his own caliber. Mao Renfeng rushed to help answer. After Director He went back. I immediately arranged for my subordinates to pay attention to this person. The result is not known if you do not check. One check. I actually found him when he was in Sun Lianzhong's department. It's already on the line with **. So after the Battle of Niangzi Pass. The man immediately faked his death and escaped. Deceived a Baoding medal from the Military Commission in vain."

"Oh. That's exactly what happened." Chiang Kai-shek suddenly realized. I can't have any interest in the little guy surnamed Zhang." These ** people are really pervasive. This time Sun Lianzhongbu was rebuilt. You commanders need to be on guard. Don't let too many people infiltrate in. It made the whole team change color without realizing it."

Note 1: Spring 1939. He Guiyan served as a special envoy for Sino-Soviet general aviation. First visit to the Soviet Union. Negotiated a low-interest loan of $1.5 billion and a batch of weapons for the national government. And was responsible for opening up the Sino-Soviet route. Because during his visit to the Soviet Union, he saw the achievements of the industrialization of the Soviet Union. As a result, his thinking began to lean towards state capitalism. And for this reason, he telegraphed to Chiang many times. As a result, the relationship between the two is becoming more and more estranged.

Note 2: Bitter gall hanging at the head of the bed. Finger hook practice lying down to taste the gall. Swear to avenge the shame of being imprisoned in Wu Guo that year. Xi'an Incident Chiang Kai-shek was imprisoned. It is also a great shame in his life. Not only killed Yang Hucheng's entire family before retreating to Taiwan. to death. I didn't want to forgive Zhang Xueliang.
