Section 3 The Game Behind the Scenes II

Song Meiling was very worried, when she just returned to China, Yang Yongtai came to the door to have a deep discussion with her about Zhuang Jihua. \\。 The first Yang Yongtai has been in Chongqing for many years, and he has observed Zhuang Jihua up close for many years, and he has a very deep understanding of Zhuang Jihua and his group.

“… During this decade, the Cultural Revolution ran the southwest, and Xiōng was broad, winning great support for the central government, and also gathered a group of followers around him, among these people were local forces in the southwest, industrialists and businessmen, scholars and experts, who felt his personal charm and identified with his political ideas, so these people gathered around him to build the southwest and implement social reforms.

This is only one aspect, in the army, the Cultural Revolution also has a high prestige, in the Whampoa Military Academy, he is one of the student leaders, the Eastern Expedition to the Northern Expedition, outstanding achievements, he advocates the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, in fact, this kind of proposition is a lot in the Whampoa classmates;

It is said that at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Cultural Revolution successively commanded a million troops, and these armies under their command successively won the victory of Guangde, Xuzhou, and Yucheng, but once he left, the defense of Wuhan, the five theaters were defeated, madam, victory will boost his prestige, he has promoted the prestige of the national government through this series of victories, and also pushed up his personal prestige.

It may be because of these that some people are worried, so they think that their power should be weakened, but in fact, these actions cannot weaken his power at all, and can only push his prestige higher.

Zhuang Wenge never promised his followers official positions or money, and those of his followers followed him more because of his ideas. The chairman of the committee dismissed him from his post and disbanded the Southwest Development Team, but the Cultural Revolution did not react, because he also thought that the Southwest Development Team could be disbanded, but there were two things that he could not accept, that is, to shake the system he had established, and to deal with his subordinates.

So far, there have been no obvious mistakes with the Cultural Revolution. Being punished for meritorious service not only chilled the Whampoa students, but also caused local generals and businessmen to drift away, which would shake the prestige of the chairman of the committee in the hearts of the Whampoa students.

Madam, the impact of the Cultural Revolution is not only in the military, but also in the political and economic circles; After Liu Xiang's death, the Sichuan generals had a tendency to lean towards him, and he personally created the 49th Group Army and the Expeditionary Force, and he had a very good relationship with most of his Whampoa classmates. …”

Yang Yongtai explained to her that for two hours, from the military to the political, to the economic, and finally to the diplomatic, in these areas, what influences Zhuang Jihua has, and if he wants to fight back, what adverse effects will be produced. The army generals will have those reactions, and so on.

The more Song Meiling listened, the more frightened she became, she had never seen Yang Yongtai so worried, in two hours, Yang Yongtai had never laughed, she was always worried, and explained repeatedly. It is not because Zhuang Jihua once saved him.

In addition to this conversation. Song Meiling still remembers that when she was a guest at the White House, Roosevelt talked about Zhuang Jihua's casualness, as if he was talking about an old friend for many years, Yang Yongtai analyzed that Roosevelt proposed to replace Zhuang Jihua, but it was just to earn back face for the United States, and the love between the two was still there.

Therefore, Song Meiling immediately decided to intervene. She persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to recall Zhuang Jihua from Xi'an and reappoint him as commander of the Fifth Theater. Zhuang Jihua did not disappoint her, and soon won the victory of northern Hubei and recovered Wuhan.

After the Battle of North China, Soong Meiling sensed that Chiang Kai-shek began to worry about Zhuang Jihua again, and Chen Guofu kept talking in Chiang Kai-shek's ear. Chen Chengming seemed to be worried about Zhuang Jihua's attitude on the face, but he was actually jealous of Zhuang Jihua's prestige and military exploits in the army. Under their repeated complaints, Chiang Kai-shek's suspicions resurfaced.

Soong Meiling also felt that this time was different from the last time, and Chiang Kai-shek's attitude was more firm. She persuaded her twice, but Chiang Kai-shek still insisted. She had to give up for the time being.

"Madam, you can rest assured," Chiang Kai-shek pretended to be relaxed and said: "I know about the Cultural Revolution, I won't do anything to him, just let him rest for a while, in fact, this is also his love, he has offended too many people over the years, and his comrades have a lot of opinions on him, isn't Liu Yinshu suffering because of this." ”

Speaking of Liu Yinshu, Song Meiling couldn't help but sigh, if Liu Yinshu was alive, Chiang Kai-shek probably wouldn't be so fast, Liu Yinshu's mother and son in Chongqing are undoubtedly Zhuang Jihua's best concern.

"If you win the Cultural Revolution, who will go to the Northeast?" Song Meiling asked again.

"I want to go." Chiang Kai-shek said: "I have said more than once that I still want to go to the war zone. ”

"I'm afraid it's not okay," Song Meiling looked at Chiang Kai-shek and said, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help frowning slightly, and was also a little puzzled, Song Meiling smiled: "There are people who can do it, but most of the troops in the Northeast Theater have a deep relationship with the Cultural Revolution, and Cixiu is going, I'm afraid these people won't listen to him." ”

Chiang Kai-shek was silent for a while before nodding and admitting that Soong Meiling was right, if Zhuang Jihua was transferred, the generals of the Northeast Theater would inevitably react strongly, and Chen Cheng would definitely be regarded as one of the culprits, Chen Cheng was going to go, and the resistance would be very strong. In addition, Xiong Shihui and Chen Cheng have a bad relationship; Under the attack of the military and the government, Chen Cheng may not be able to move an inch in the northeast.

Just when Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling were chatting in the Huangshan villa, on the second floor of Hongyan Village, in the office of Zhou ENLAI, Deng Yanda and Zhou ENLAI were also having a conversation.

The ceiling fan on the roof is turning vigorously, setting off gusts of hot air, which does not reduce the heat in the room. Outside the window, the sun shone brightly on the earth, and the concrete floor in the courtyard reflected a dazzling white light, except for the soldiers standing guard at the door, almost everyone hid in the room, and the whole courtyard was quiet.

Under the scorching heat, Zhou EN's military uniform was also taken off, the white shirt was unbuttoned, and Deng Yanda opposite him was almost the same as him, both of them had a faint smile on their faces, but the atmosphere in the room showed that the conversation between the two was not smooth.

The argument just now made Deng Yanda's mouth a little dry, and he drank a few sips of water before he said to Zhou EN: "En, I want to know what you guys think?" The Cultural Revolution agreed to cooperate with us, and you will weaken our mutual trust by doing so. ”

This was the most difficult negotiation Zhou En had ever experienced, and Yan'an suddenly called him to inform him that Yan'an had decided not to give up the Mudanjiang and other places in Jixi that he had already occupied, and that the Eighth Route Army would also occupy a base area in South Manchuria, which could be south and west of Tonghua, and if possible, it would occupy Tonghua.

In order to explain to Deng Yanda, Yan'an then sent a long telegram, in which Yan'an analyzed the situation in Northeast China after the war in detail, pointing out that the biggest destabilizing factor in the situation in Northeast China is Zhuang Jihua, if Zhuang Jihua stays in Northeast China, then peace in Northeast China may be preserved, but if Zhuang Jihua leaves Northeast China, the possibility of a civil war breaking out in Northeast China is very large, the Kuomintang has gathered a million troops in Northeast China, and if the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are all assembled in North Manchuria, they will inevitably be eliminated by the Kuomintang with concentrated forces, and the only way to do so is to disperse guerrillas and cooperate with each other, it was possible to break the offensive of the Kuomintang.

In view of the agreement with the Democratic Socialist Party and Zhuang Jihua, Yan'an agreed to make an exchange with them for the base area in the eastern Hebei Plain in exchange for the South Manchurian base area.

Yan'an did not mention the Mudanjiang River in Jixi, nor did it mention the recent actions of the Kuomintang troops in North Manchuria, and Zhou EN made it clear that Yan'an recognized the actions of the Kuomintang troops and used these in exchange for the Jixi and Mudanjiang areas.

Huang Mingcheng had already reported Zhuang Jihua's reaction to the central government and Chongqing, and Zhou EN expected Deng Yanda to come, but he didn't expect that he would come over as soon as he returned to Chongqing, and it seemed that he was really anxious.

"Choosing a life, I would love to know if you are in such a hurry because of the Cultural Revolution, or because of yourself?" ZHOU ENLAI'S TONE WAS STILL SO GENTLE.

Deng Yanda was stunned for a moment, Zhou EN came to look at him with a gentle gaze, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Choose life, our tripartite joint maintenance of post-war domestic peace, but to be honest, our party is very worried, recently Chiang Kai-shek has made frequent moves, Xiong Shihui served as the director of the Northeast Xingyuan, obviously Chiang Kai-shek has arrangements for the Northeast after the war, whether the Cultural Revolution is safe there is still unknown, our party has done this, it is in consideration of these uncertain factors."

Deng Yanda shook his head: "EN, this is inevitably a pretext, we exchange news between the three parties, you can say hello in advance, why do you want to do this later, resulting in a fait accompli, let us investigate?" ”

This is the most difficult problem for Zhou EN to explain, Deng Yanda's question is very sharp, and even with blame, you can notify in advance, why do you want them to investigate.

So far, the attitude of the two sides is still relatively mild, still staying within the scope of discussion, Zhou EN came to sigh in his heart, whether it is Deng Yanda or Zhuang Jihua, it is difficult to understand Yan'an's grievances, such a large piece of territory in the northeast, let them divide the two families, leaving Yan'an with only a barren and narrow land in North Manchuria, for them, this plan certainly satisfies them.

"Choosing a student, not informing you in advance is our mistake," Zhou Enlai still remained gentle: "However, you can't help but admit that our party's concerns are justified. The Cultural Revolution is now very confident, but he never thought that once something unexpected happened, the damage to our two parties would be so great, that we would almost have to tie our hands and catch it. ”

Deng Yanda was silent, his mind was spinning rapidly, if Zhuang Jihua was successfully taken out by Chiang Kai-shek, then what would happen to the Northeast? Needless to say, the Sichuan Army in the northeast and other local forces are bound to split, and the army belonging to the Social Democratic Party will still be able to hold on, but its strength will likely be reduced to a certain extent, and some of the local generals who have now joined the Social Democratic Party will probably change.

"It seems that the army must be reorganized and follow the path of the Cultural Revolution and **." Deng Yanda secretly decided in his heart, he looked up at Zhou EN: "Anyway, this matter is your violation of the agreement first, I can not pursue it, but you must give an explanation to the Cultural Revolution, he is very angry now, I think you know that he does not fully believe in your party, and in the tripartite cooperation, he is the most important link." ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhou EN to speak, Deng Yanda got up to say goodbye, and Zhou EN hurriedly pulled him back.
