After Li Zhilong left Wuhan, he first went to Shanghai, and the situation in Shanghai was not good at that time, the concession patrol house, the Kuomintang, and the Qinghong Gang joined forces to hunt down the Communist Party, Li Zhilong soon left Shanghai and went to Hong Kong, in recent years, he has traveled to Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Qingdao, and his life is barely maintained. After a few years of ups and downs, it was only a few steps away from the temple to the grass, fierce and passionate, enthusiastic and generous, and finally gave way to firewood, rice, oil and salt, Li Zhilong's heart was also a little light, he thought that he would live like this, but the sound of 9181 guns ignited the heart of worrying about the country and the people in his heart, and then the news of Zhuang Jihua's return to China came, which made him restless, and he keenly felt that Zhuang Jihua must have done something when he returned to China at this time, and his heart began to move. But instead of going to Zhuang Jihua, he was a little hesitant, on the one hand, he was reluctant to Pan Huiqin's mother and son, and on the other hand, he was not sure what Chiang Kai-shek would do to him. The change in his mind did not hide from Pan Huiqin, women may not have a man's surname, but the feeling is more direct than that of men, Pan Huiqin instinctively thought that as long as Zhuang Jihua was there, it would be fine, so she persuaded Li Zhilong to go to Nanjing, so Li Zhilong appeared outside Zhuang Jihua's door.

"Zaitian, I think you should come to me." After Zhuang Jihua listened to Li Zhilong talk about his experience in the past few years, he couldn't help but want to call him into his team.

"I wanted to come, the country was in danger, and I also wanted to come out to serve the country, but..." Li Zhilong showed a hint of embarrassment, he and Chiang Kai-shek were politically opposed, and after April 12 he wrote some anti-Chiang articles.

"I'll go and say to the principal," Zhuang Jihua remembered Chiang Kai-shek's reception today, and not only hesitated: "Zaitian, there is something I want to ask clearly, you have no contact with the Communist Party now, right?" ”

"What, you're starting to [***] now?" A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Li Zhilong's mouth.

"That's not it, Zaitian," Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "There are some things we have to admit, whether we want to or not, the enmity between the two parties has become a reality, and it is best not to have contact with that side, otherwise it will cause a lot of accidents and affect what I am doing." ”

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhilong very solemnly: "You have to tell me the truth, so that I can be prepared." ”

"What are you going to do? What exactly does a resource committee do? Li Zhilong asked.

So Zhuang Jihua told him about his plan.

"Strategic base, strategic base," Li Zhilong smiled after repeating it twice: "I said that there must be something wrong with your Zhuang Cultural Revolution coming back, good, very good." ”

Li Zhilong excitedly stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

"So, I don't want to get involved in the bipartisan dispute anymore, and it's difficult for us to do it without the support of the principal, so..., you have to tell me the truth in Tian, and besides, there are some things you have to let go, let him go through the past."

Li Zhilong knew what Zhuang Jihua said, and Zhuang Jihua saw his expression and persuaded again: "In Tian, after so many years, what's the point of not letting go?" Forget it, it's boring to think about the past, why don't we look forward together and start a new business. ”

Li Zhilong slowly raised his head and looked at Zhuang Jihua: "Cultural Revolution, I have already let go of these things, the reason why I don't want to come out to do things, but the Cultural Revolution, I also have a request, I will not participate in the action against the Communist Party." ”

"I'm not participating." Zhuang Jihua smiled: "But I have to tell the principal about you, don't worry, I'm afraid he already knows that you are here with me." ”

Li Zhilong was stunned: "Why, he doesn't even believe you anymore?" ”

"Who knows? Don't worry, it's nothing. Zhuang Jihua smiled, grabbed the phone, just dialed a number and stopped, turned to Li Zhilong and said: "Zaitian, I'm afraid the principal will see you tomorrow, you have to be prepared." ”

Li Zhilong smiled slightly: "I understand, don't make trouble for you." ”

"Just get it."

Zhuang Jihua answered the phone: "Xue Bing, did the principal sleep?" Oh, then please answer the phone. ”

After a while, I heard Zhuang Jihua say: "Principal, Zaitian is here, I want to invite him to join the Southwest Development Team, okay, I will tell him." ”

Zhuang Jihua put down the phone and turned around and walked to Li Zhilong's side and patted him on the shoulder: "When you go to see the principal tomorrow, he basically agreed, and the purpose of seeing you is to talk." Remember my words, the big husband can bend and stretch, and the bend of today's words is for the stretch of the clear saying. ”

Li Zhilong smiled slightly: "Don't worry." ”

Li Zhilong reassured Zhuang Jihua, but Zhuang Jihua just couldn't let go, Li Zhilong was very clear about Chiang Kai-shek's old grudges, and his temper also worried him, so he personally sent him to see Chiang Kai-shek the next day, but he was stopped at the door, and Chiang Kai-shek was alone to meet Li Zhilong.

Zhuang Jihua was waiting outside, there were many officials waiting outside like him, but Zhuang Jihua didn't know much, he was thinking about whether to have a relationship with them, and he was close to it, but found an old acquaintance coming from outside.

"Yunong," Zhuang Jihua beckoned Dai Li, but he felt a little strange in his heart, why did this Dai Lia look a little wooden.

"Senior," Dai Li quickly came over and was very respectful.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhuang Jihua will not be deceived by Dai Li's appearance, although the current secret service is very small, but it will not be long before he becomes the largest spy organization in the country, and Dai Li will become one of the most powerful people in the Kuomintang: "We are old friends. Alas, I ask you what you are going to send me."

"Senior, the principal has ordered," Dai Li took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Zhuang Jihua: "Please take a look, senior, this is the person I sent." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't answer: "Put it away, put it away, the people you sent must be shrewd and capable people, I can trust it." Saying that, he looked him up and down: "I haven't seen you for a few years, how did you become a little unrecognizable." ”

"The senior said that, I'm not the same as I was back then." Dai Li smiled: "In front of the seniors, Dai Li will always be the same Dai Li. ”

Whoever wants to believe this is tantamount to believing that the wolf eats grass instead. Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "I'm leaving like this, it's already a blessing that you didn't bother you." However, it seems that you have been trained and know how to hide clumsiness. ”

"The teachings of the seniors back then, the juniors dare not forget."

"Hey, I said Yunong, if you want to do this again, I won't dare to talk to you in the future, and our friendship will be over." Zhuang Jihua smiled at Dai Li half-truthfully: "We used to be friends, and we are friends now, if you want to do it like everyone else, then I have nothing to say." ”

"When the senior said that, I respect the senior from the bottom of my heart, and it is by no means perfunctory." Yesterday, Dai Li saw with his own eyes how Chiang Kai-shek treated Zhuang Jihua, even if he put aside the previous things, he didn't dare to be a little inferior to Zhuang Jihua, but he still changed his tone and said: "It's great that the senior can come back, but the principal really doesn't have to say anything to the senior. The only senior in the Whampoa department who can get such attention from the principal. ”

Zhuang Jihua was secretly surprised, but his face was very emotional: "Hey, I'm really ashamed of the principal's love, what can I say about ,...,, I can afford it, I can't put it down." Forget it, don't talk about this, for Yunong, your secret service should start the layout of the intelligence, it's still too late to send someone over, your attention can't just stare at the Communist Party, but also take out a pair of glasses and stare at Yue himself. ”

"Yes, I've been thinking about this lately, but I just haven't found a way." Dai Li said sincerely: "Please also ask the senior for guidance." ”

"I suggest that you set up a school specifically for Yueben, in which all students and teachers live according to their own lifestyle, and there are many descendants of Yue himself in the United States and Brazil, and many of these people have returned to China in recent years, which may be a way." Zhuang Jihua whispered.

Dai Li's eyes lit up, but before he could speak, he heard Zhuang Jihua say: "Well, Yunong, give you a reminder, I want to take a long line to catch big fish, the war between the two countries cannot afford to be a chess piece, and the war together will have a miraculous effect." ”

Dai Li nodded: "What the senior said is that it's time to lay out." ”

The two chatted for a while, Li Zhilong came out, holding a set of colonel military uniforms in his hand, Zhuang Jihua said a few more words casually, while saying goodbye to Dai Li, and greeted Li Zhilong, before he could speak, Deng Wenyi came out: "Cultural Revolution, the principal will meet." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly at Li Zhilong, and went in with Deng Wenyi.

"Li Zhilong is a talent, I will use it if it is a talent, although he has opposed me before, but as long as I can get lost, I will not blame the past." Chiang Kai-shek stood at his desk with his hands behind his back and said to Zhuang Jihua.

"On behalf of Zaitian, I would like to thank the principal for his magnanimity." Chiang Kai-shek didn't sit, and Zhuang Jihua had to stand with him.

"However, he is different from you," Chiang Kai-shek just said this, Zhuang Jihua hurriedly said: "Principal, Zaitian is not a Communist Party, and after he declares in the newspaper that he has separated from the Communist Party, it is impossible for the Communist Party to contact him again." ”

"I know, but I'm worried what if someone contacts him in the future? When the Communist Party is at the end of its rope, there is a straw to grasp, so you have to pay attention, always remind him, I handed him over to you, you are good friends, and you will be together again in the future, you have to remind him more. ”

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he looked at Zhuang Jihua, who immediately replied: "I will, principal, I promise the principal that I will not fight the Communist Party, but I will not support them either, and I will not contact them." ”

Zhuang Jihua understood that Chiang Kai-shek was talking about Li Zhilong, but he also contained a warning to him.

"Meet, I believe in you," Chiang Kai-shek smiled with satisfaction: "But you have to be careful with your subordinates, if you loosen an inch, he will loosen an inch." ”

"Thank you for your advice." Zhuang Jihua replied with a smile.

"When are you going to Hangzhou?" Chiang Kai-shek showed a look of concern again: "After the matter in Hangzhou is over, let's go home." ”

"Yes, thank you for your concern." Zhuang Jihua didn't know whether what Dai Li told him was Dai Li's own decision or Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, if it was Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, it would be too conventional, so he decided not to reveal this matter for the time being.

"You see, the principal is really good to you, as soon as you come back, you are a colonel, you were only a major back then, and this time you were promoted to colonel, two levels in a row." Out of the gate of the rest house, Zhuang Jihua said to Li Zhilong with a smile.

Li Zhilong looked at the driver in front of him and asked Zhuang Jihua with his eyes, Zhuang Jihua smiled and nodded.
