"What do you think?" Chiang Kai-shek's face sank like water and asked coldly.

Judging from the contacts between Huang Yin and Yue Ben, the reason why the chairman transferred the 87th Division to the front line is also here. Lin Wei pondered and said that fighting a war is about money, and senior officers understand this truth, but few soldiers analyze the problem from this angle, especially the analysis of Yuben's movements, because at this time the Chinese are powerful and wealthy in the eyes of Yuben, except for Zhuang Jihua, an outlier.

"I don't see it that way," Yang Yongtai interjected unceremoniously: "This is just Zhuang Jihua's unilateral judgment, and he has no basis." ”

"Zhuang Wenge traveled to Europe and the United States before returning to China, and he knows the situation in Europe and the United States very well, and I think his judgment is reasonable." Lin Wei insisted.

"It's a gamble, a gamble on the fate of the country." Yang Yongtai was a little angry: "He has been gambling in the past few months, and in Yucheng, he instructed students to besiege the Yueben Mansion, smash the Yueben Trading Company, and drive away the Yueben expatriates; What is the difference between the intent and plundering in Wuhan, inciting the labor and student uprisings, and stirring up national sentiment from the original Communist Party? Besides, if you really want to fight hard, the little troops that are being transferred now are not enough! ”

Lin Wei was very surprised to look at Yang Yongtai, who was a little out of shape, from knowing Yang Yongtai to today, Yang Yongtai rushed to be a lupine scarf, calm and unhurried, and never had such a gaffe as today.

"Brother Changqing, what I'm saying is that Zhuang Wenge's judgment is reasonable," Lin Wei said calmly: "Judging from the strength of the Yue Army that has been observed so far, there are only two divisions and two mixed brigades, plus some puppet troops, the total strength is less than 100,000. As for us, the Northeast Army, the Jin Army, the 29th Army, the Central Army, the total strength of the 200,000 troops, even if the local troops of Rehe are subtracted, but if you count the three new reinforcements of Wei Lihuang and Song Xilian and Shangguan Yunxiang, the total strength does not decrease but increases, and it is completely possible to compete with the Yue Army. ”

"Won't the army increase its strength?" Yang Yongtai retorted: "The northeast is close at hand, and the army has four divisions in the northeast and one division in North Korea. ”

"It is already a shame to be unable to win against an enemy of 40,000 or 50,000 with 200,000 men." Lin Wei was also a little excited, and the soldier's blood surname was ready to move on him.

"Okay, don't fight." Chiang Kai-shek had calmed down, and when he first received Zhuang Jihua's telegram, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, Zhuang Jihua's hand was too long, and he was in the southwest but he was in the center of his heart, but the argument between the two close ministers reminded him of Zhuang Jihua's unauthorized shooting in Shaji; But the Great Wall is not Shaki, is his judgment right? Then he thought that as soon as Zhuang Jihua met him last year, he told him that he would invade Rehe within two years, and he wanted to cross it in a year, Rehe had already been lost, and the war had reached the Great Wall, and his judgment was still accurate.

Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a long time but still did not dare to make a decision, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Tell Luo Wengan and ask him to visit the German ambassador Taodeman, hoping that the German political axe can come forward to mediate." ”

"Changqing, you don't know Zhuang Wenge, he has always been like this, this time it was okay, when he shot back at Shaji, he still cut first and then played, but in the end it was he who did it." Chiang Kai-shek said lightly.

"But it is said that it is not Britain, and the Great Wall is not Shaji," Yang Yongtai did not hesitate to reveal the doubts in Chiang Kai-shek's heart: "I thought that in order to win this battle, I must transfer troops from Jiangxi again, and banditry in Jiangxi will be rampant again." Is it necessary to revise the national policy of first securing the interior and then the outside? ”

Lin Wei opened his mouth, this time he didn't refute, Yang Yongtai's judgment can't be wrong, if he increases his troops again, then he can only transfer troops from Jiangxi, and the Jiangxi battlefield is currently very unfavorable, Chen Cheng's 11th Division was annihilated in Caotaigang, and the Ninth Division was also wiped out by nearly half, Chen Cheng's central breakthrough tactics have failed, so the Jiangxi battlefield not only can not weaken the reaction and increase troops. There is also a place to transfer troops in the northwest, there are more than 50,000 people in Yang Hucheng, Shaanxi, but Liu Zhidan in the northwest is also making a lot of trouble, plus there is also a defense of the Red Army in northern Sichuan, and the troops are also very weak; Shandong Han Fuyu wants to guard Shandong, and he can't transfer people. It seems that only Yan Xishan in Shanxi can transfer troops, but will Yan Laoxi agree? He has already transferred Shang Zhen's troops to participate in the war, and if he transfers it again, I'm afraid..."It would be good if he could win without increasing his troops." Lin Wei muttered in a low voice.

"Let Zhuang Wenge go to Beiping to supervise the war." Chiang Kai-shek suddenly became a little angry, since you Zhuang Jihua lit this fire, you can't stand aside and watch, you don't want to [***], you can't help but agree.

Yang Yongtai and Lin Wei were stunned, but the connotation of the two is completely different; The former didn't understand, but the latter immediately had a new understanding of Zhuang Jihua.

"What about the development of the southwest?" Lin Wei asked.

"It's just temporary, when he's done fighting in the north, and then go back, he won't be this time anymore, let him find someone to replace him for a while." Chiang Kai-shek said.

"What if it is delayed?" Yang Yongtai asked with some hesitation.

"If it's a full-scale war, does it still make sense to develop the southwest?" Chiang Kai-shek asked rhetorically: "If not, in a few months, Li Zhilong, Du Yuming, Teng Jie, they can take down any one." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't expect that his kindness pushed him to the front line of the Great Wall, of course, he didn't know it now, he was being severely reprimanded by his mother-in-law, this mother-in-law is the real mother-in-law, Liu Yinshu's biological mother.

"You just let my family live in a place like this!" The mother-in-law has been in full bloom since she entered the house, and as soon as Zhuang Jihua came back, she was reprimanded by him: "You are also a major general, you live in this kind of sunflower shed, and my slaves live better than this, and my family A Shu has served your second elder in Yunqiao for five years." ”

The second aunt was sitting in the shack, her face was frosty, and Zhuang Jihua was not standing there, and she was at a loss. Liu Yinshu stood beside her mother and gently persuaded her, but on the other side sat a young man in a suit and leather shoes in his thirties, of course, Liu Yinshu's eldest brother Liu Long who studied in the United States.

"Grandma, you are wrong to blame the Cultural Revolution, there are not enough houses in the base, we are just living here temporarily, and when the house is repaired, we will move in." Liu Yinshu persuaded.

"You talk less!" The second aunt scolded too unceremoniously: "Why do other people have a house to live in, but you don't!" Still a major general, I don't think it's even as good as a second lieutenant! ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly, now he is still living in a shack in the entire base, originally repaired seven or eight houses, he and Li Zhilong also picked one each, but before they moved, a few experts came back from overseas, these experts are all talents dug back from Europe and the United States, according to the rules, they picked first, but after they picked out, there was only one set left, so he was the captain of the southwest development team who lived in the shack.

"Grandma," Liu Yinshu looked at Zhuang Jihua and smiled: "There is an order in the Cultural Revolution, and the base housing is not enough for the official to pick up, who will make his official the biggest." ”

"How can there be such a rule, since ancient times, it has been the first use of the official university, and you really think that you are Bao Longtu and Hai Qingtian in the play." The second aunt was so angry that she came in a hurry, but she didn't expect to see her baby daughter living in such a place, and she was angry at that time.

"Grandma, be quiet." Liu Yinshu shook the second aunt's shoulder dissatisfiedly: "How can you lead the troops during the Cultural Revolution, he is the captain here." ”

"Second mother, my sister is right, my brother-in-law is also for the country and the family." Liu Long looked at Zhuang Jihua for a long time, and saw that Zhuang Jihua was very embarrassed, so he persuaded: "Cultural Revolution, you sit down, sit down and talk." ”

"It's okay, it's okay," Zhuang Jihua smiled indifferently: "It's natural for the mother-in-law to scold her son-in-law." Big brother, haven't you been scolded by your mother-in-law? ”

Liu Long sneered and laughed, the second aunt was about to get angry when she heard it, but Liu Yinshu smiled coquettishly: "Grandma, look, it's useless to scold him, he's just a cheeky person." ”

The second aunt looked at her and then at Zhuang Jihua, and shook her head helplessly: "You, don't be too oriented to him, look at it, you live in such a kennel, and you have to teach in the rain every day, he can't support you?" ”

"Mom, what are you talking nonsense, I am willing to teach," Liu Yinshu defended: "Besides, it's good to live here, I don't feel bad there." ”

"Second mother, don't talk about it," Liu Long said with a smile: "Look at my sister's posture, even if she lives in a pigsty with the Cultural Revolution, she will say that it is very good." ”

The second aunt looked at Liu Yinshu, who was flushed, and sighed heavily: "You, sit down, the girl is not staying, and the lard is blinded." ”

"Mom, you're going well all the way, and Dad's health is okay?" The second aunt became angry as soon as she entered the door, and it was only now that Liu Yinshu had the opportunity to ask about the situation at home.

"It's okay, I didn't get mad at you." The second aunt said angrily, and tears followed: "You have been gone for five years, and you don't even give a letter to your family, you are so ruthless.... ”

"Yes, my daughter was wrong." Liu Yinshu lowered her head, and when her wish was fulfilled, she felt very sorry for her mother, and realized that what she did was inappropriate.

The mother and daughter were talking on the side, and Zhuang Jihua and Liu Long also looked at each other and said.

"What did Big Brother learn in the United States? Where do you work now? Zhuang Jihua asked.

"I studied finance and am now working as a manager at the Guangzhou branch of HSBC Hong Kong." Liu Long replied with a smile.

"HSBC?" Zhuang Jihua muttered twice, and he remembered that Mei Yuntian told him that the funds transferred from the United States had been deposited in the HSBC Bank of Hong Kong for a full 200 million dollars.

"I came to Sichuan, half of them accompanied my second mother to see my sister, and the other is that the head office wants to open a branch in Yucheng, and wants me to come over to see the situation, in fact, there are also your factors in this." Liu Long did not hide the purpose of this trip, he had such a hard relationship, no, he had studied in the United States for so long in vain.

"Okay, welcome, I welcome you on behalf of the municipal axe, and I will introduce Yuntian to you when I go back, he is a good friend I made in the United States, and he is the general manager of Sichuan Development Bank." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile.

"Sichuan Development Bank?" Liu Long obviously hadn't heard of it.

"Oh, the newly established bank, with abundant funds, is considered the central bank of Sichuan, a regional bank, and he has the right to issue currency in Sichuan." Zhuang Jihua said: "There are many shareholders, and the major warlords in Sichuan are shareholders, well, I am the president. ”

"Oh, you're the president?" Liu Long looked at Zhuang Jihua in a little surprise, what the president of the bank thought, he knew clearly.

Zhuang Jihua was a little embarrassed and said: "The bank's funds are mainly provided by me, and they are invested in the army and territory. ”

"What did you offer?" Liu Long was even more surprised: "What is the bank's reserve?" ”

"100 million oceans." Zhuang Jihua stretched out a finger.

Liu Long almost fell into a somersault, Zhuang Jihua looked at him, felt a little satisfied, and decided to scare him again: "Actually, I am still familiar with HSBC, the ......... of your Hong Kong head office"

As soon as he said this, Gong Xiuhua, Li Zhilong, and Du Yuming pushed the door and broke in, Zhuang Jihua hurriedly stopped and looked at them in surprise.

"Cultural Revolution, the chairman of the committee is in an emergency." As he spoke, Gong Xiuhua handed the telegram to Zhuang Jihua.

As soon as he saw their appearance, Zhuang Jihua knew that something big had happened, but what was the big thing about Chiang Kai-shek at this time? He stood up and took the telegram, and after reading it carefully, he turned around and hurriedly said to the second aunt and Liu Long: "Mom, big brother, I have something urgent, Yin Shu, you accompany your mother and eldest brother to have a good chat." ”

Then he hurriedly turned around and left, "You," the second aunt was about to speak, but Liu Yinshu hurriedly stopped him and just looked at his back worriedly.

"Auntie, if you have something urgent, I'll talk to you another day." Li Zhilong and the three of them also hurriedly dropped their sentences and turned to catch up with Zhuang Jihua.

After Zhuang Jihua brought them up, he asked as he walked, "Have you all seen it?" ”

Li Zhilong and Du Yuming nodded.

"What do you think?" Zhuang Jihua said calmly.

"The principal asked you to go to Peking to serve as a senior senator, which may have something to do with the situation on the Great Wall." Li Zhilong said eagerly.

"It's not possible, it's should, I just don't know what the principal asked you to do at this time." Du Yuming thought about it and said.

"It's not going to let you go to the front." Gong embroidery said.

Zhuang Jihua stopped, in fact, he didn't know what Chiang Kai-shek asked him to do in Beiping, his judgment was that telegram, Chiang Kai-shek may not understand something, and hoped that he would explain it. But Gong Xiuhua's words reminded him that Chiang Kai-shek didn't want him to go to war, but then he ruled out this idea, he didn't have a single soldier in his hands, how could this battle be fought?

"Sir, the chairman of the committee telegram." As soon as Zhuang Jihua and the others entered the office building, Wu Ziniu sent another telegram to them.

When Zhuang Jihua saw it, the telegram ordered him to leave immediately and fly to Beiping via Wuhan.

"Has the plane arrived?" Zhuang Jihua asked, and Wu Ziniu replied: "I don't know, I'll contact the airport immediately." ”

"By the way, tell Yunfei, let him pick five people, go to the airport and wait for me, Guangting, you can also prepare," Zhuang Jihua turned his head to Du Yuming and said, "Secretary Gong, go tell Yin Shu to prepare a few changes of clothes for me, not too much." ”

"I don't have to prepare anything, I'll be able to leave right away." Du Yuming replied, he smelled the smell of gunsmoke, and the blood all over his body began to get excited.

Walking into the office, Zhuang Jihua grabbed the phone and called Teng Jie over, and after he came over, Zhuang Jihua said: "The principal asked me to go to Beiping, I'm afraid it will take a month or two to go, and Li Zhilong is in charge of the development team when I am not there." Without waiting for them to speak, Zhuang Jihua added: "The purpose of our coming here is already known to everyone, the Great Wall is fighting, Guangting will go with me to see the army, after Guangting leaves, the escort team is led by Hong Junqi and led by Zaitian." In addition, Gong Xiuhua was left behind, responsible for coordinating the contact between Zaitian and Mei Yuntian. ”

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he grabbed the phone and contacted He Guoguang, told him about Chiang Kai-shek and his decision, and asked him to assist Li Zhilong in handling his work during his absence, and then called Tang Zong, asking him to carefully handle the Communist Party among the students and not to intensify the contradictions. Putting down the phone, Zhuang Jihua thought of Li Haoyi again, he picked up the phone and put it down again, he really didn't want to see this person, and he didn't even want to hear his voice. "Forget it, let him go, anyway, Tang Zong is staring at him." Zhuang Jihua thought.

"Cultural Revolution, don't worry, I'll be careful." Li Zhilong comforted: "According to your analysis, the war in the north will not last long, and the principal asked you to go, maybe just to let you come up with diplomatic ideas." ”

Zhuang Jihua shook his head, Li Zhilong's problem is that he can't involve the Communist Party, as long as something happens in this regard, he will become unreasonable even if he is reasonable, and he is now more and more sure that it is not a diplomatic matter, he raised his head and smiled at Li Zhilong: "If you need funds, discuss with Yuntian." Be careful, anything pushes at me. Discuss with Mayor He what you can't get right. ”

Li Zhilong nodded, but what he was thinking about was the development team, Zhuang Jihua's temporary order produced another result, from now on, Li Zhilong became his deputy, whenever he was no longer there, Li Zhilong would be in charge of the overall situation.

It's not dawn yet, so it's not a broken promise
