When he arrived in Huangpu, it was already dark, Chiang Kai-shek was very surprised that Zhuang Jihua suddenly rushed to Huangpu to see him, and immediately summoned him, and after Zhuang Jihua told the cause and effect clearly, with Zhuang Jihua's narration Chiang Kai-shek's initial anger, and then fell into silence, and only after a long time did he look at Zhuang Jihua with complicated eyes and said: "Do you think Chen Yannian is telling the truth?" ”

"The students don't know." Of course, Zhuang Jihua didn't dare to pack the ticket, so he didn't dare to say it to death: "Listen to his words and check his deeds, you can wait for the results of their processing." And then decide on our countermeasures. ”

"That's fine." Chiang Kai-shek said slowly: "Cultural Revolution, now you know my difficulties, on the one hand, to maintain the three major policies, on the other hand, to promote the revolution; On the one hand, it is necessary to prevent some people in the party from undermining the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and on the other hand, it is necessary to prevent [***] from hollowing out us; The world is difficult and the responsibilities are heavy, but I still have to bear this burden, who made me choose this path. ”

"The principal is the principal responsible person of our party and our army, and if they do not deal with it properly, we can protest to them in the name of the Central Party Department of the Kuomintang and demand an apology." Zhuang Jihua felt that there was a crisis hidden in Chiang Kai-shek's words, and that Chiang Kai-shek had never had such words as hollowing out the Kuomintang before, and he vaguely felt that the rift between Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei was also rapidly expanding. So on the one hand, he put himself in a safe position, and on the other hand, he looked for opportunities to persuade him.

After listening to Zhuang Jihua's words, Chiang Kai-shek did not say that his heart was indeed fighting fiercely, a few days ago he proposed to Wang Jingwei to dismiss Ji Jiashan and Luo Jia Juefu and let Borodin and Gallen come back, Wang Jingwei agreed, but until now there has been no action, and Wang Jingwei's tone and Ji Jiashan's proposition are gradually approaching; The Cultural Revolution is too young, this may not be done by [***], but it is not Ji Jiashan who is behind it.

"As the students said before, there are also moderate and radical factions within [***], and they are currently in power, and this incident was done by a small number of radicals with ulterior motives." Zhuang Jihua didn't know what Chiang Kai-shek was thinking, so he continued to say according to his own ideas: "The purpose of these people is to muddy the water, on the one hand, to invite merit and accumulate political capital; If we do not react, the next step will be to ask the top brass of the party to agree to the attack on the president and remove him from office, so as to deter the rest of the party. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was still indifferent, the indoor air began to become tense, Zhuang Jihua felt this depression, sweat seeped out of his shirt, he suddenly felt that he was too self-conscious, and actually wanted to mediate the contradiction between Chiang Kai-shek and [***], but now he couldn't retreat.

"The students are still the same suggestion, to pull in the moderates and fight the radicals, now is an opportunity for them to deal with it themselves, and once they are in turmoil internally, they will look outside, and they will change course on the Northern Expedition."

Chiang Kai-shek snorted softly from his nostrils and said, "Bai Jiansheng has already arrived in Changsha, will Wu Peifu send troops?" ”

Wu Peifu's subordinates were divided into two factions, Zhang Qiqi and Jiang Fangzhen supported Tang Jiyao, believing that the current center of gravity was in the north and could not fight on two fronts; But Ge Hao and Fu Dingyi advocated aiding Zhao, and Wu Peifu was undecided. Zhuang Jihua replied.

Chiang Kai-shek asked again: "Do you think Wu Peifu will send troops to aid Zhao?" ”

"The student estimates that Wu Peifu will hesitate for a while," Zhuang Jihua said his judgment without hesitation: "If we vigorously publicize Tang Shengzhi's fall to us, Wu Peifu will greatly aid Zhao, and he will never sit idly by and watch Hunan fall into our hands; And now we have an excellent condition, I heard that Tang Shengzhi's representative has arrived in Guangzhou, we will publicize this matter, let Bai Chongxi openly act in Changsha, the bigger the momentum, the better, it is best to induce Tang Shengzhi to purge Zhao Hengti's subordinates, so that Wu Peifu will be given a chance to send troops, he can suppress the generals who do not agree to send troops, send troops to Hunan, after Tang Shengzhi is defeated, he will ask us for help. ”

Tang Shengzhi's representative, Liu Wendao, had quietly come to Guangzhou, and Tang Shengzhi hoped that the Kuomintang would agree to his unification of Hunan first, and then declare his obedience to the Kuomintang.

Li Zongren saw through his purpose, found an excuse to send Bai Chongxi to Changsha, and then made a big publicity, Bai Chongxi publicly claimed in Changsha that Tang Shengzhi had agreed to obey the national political axe, which embarrassed Tang Shengzhi.

The situation on Wu Peifu's side was more complicated, Wu Jun entered Henan in three ways to fight with Yue Weijun, Yue Weijun's subordinate Jiang Shijie still held on to Xinyang, Wu Peifu changed generals twice, but there was nothing he could do, so Wu Peifu's main staff were opposed to interfering in the Hunan situation, especially the opposition of Zhang Qihuang, who he regarded as his arm, made it difficult for Wu Peifu to decide.

"That's a good idea, I'll let them do it tomorrow." Chiang Kai-shek nodded, but he was very uncomfortable in his heart, Zhuang Jihua was full of scheming once he dealt with the enemy he identified, but once he faced [***], he was always willing to only adopt a conciliatory way, Feng Wei was right, the Cultural Revolution was pro-communist.

"Cultural Revolution, what if the situation you said happened, and [***] and Soviet Russian advisers still opposed the Northern Expedition?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

Zhuang Jihua sighed in his heart, why did Chiang Kai-shek bring the topic to [***] again, it seems that the doubts in his heart have not been eliminated: "Students think, I'm afraid that Soviet Russia will support our Northern Expedition." The purpose of Soviet Russia's opposition to the Northern Expedition was to promote Feng and Wu to unite against Feng, and Feng Yuxiang also hoped to join forces with Wu Peifu out of his own considerations, but Wu Peifu would not do it, he would rather join forces with Zhang Zuolin than with Feng Yuxiang, so he fought with Yue Weijun's Second National Army in Henan, and his attitude actually showed that both Soviet Russia and Feng Yuxiang were wishful thinking. ”

"You have seen through the development of the situation in the north, well, very good." Chiang Kai-shek's face was not happy, and he said seriously: "Cultural Revolution, you must remember that only Chinese can do Chinese affairs, and foreigners are unreliable." In the future, my party will probably have to rely on you Huangpu classmates to support it. ”

"Headmaster, why do you say that?" Zhuang Jihua's surprise comforted Chiang Kai-shek, but Zhuang Jihua was not only shocked in his heart, but also a trace of despair, as a person who knew the historical results, he didn't want to stain his hands with the blood of his classmates and friends, so he was trying his best to avoid the historical results, but now he ..........

"Cultural Revolution, your political experience is still enough, just talk about it," Chiang Kai-shek pointed to the leaflet on the table: "Is there anyone behind Li Haoyi, will the radicals you said join forces with Ji Jiashan, whether they are radicals or stables, they are all echoes of Soviet Russia, as long as Soviet Russia speaks, Chen Yannian also has to listen." ”

Zhuang Jihua was speechless, at least in the current relations between Soviet Russia and [***], Chiang Kai-shek was not wrong.

"You're right, [***] Maybe there is no one who is against me, Chiang, but what about Soviet Russia? What about within our party? When Chiang Kai-shek said this, his expression was a little sad: "The Cultural Revolution, it can be said that I am now killing every step around me." ”

Chiang Kai-shek paused and looked at the dark night sky outside the window: "Cultural Revolution, you are my best student, if there is really an accident, you have to bear more with Huangpu classmates." ”

This was like a thunderbolt sounding on Zhuang Jihua's head, he was so blinded that he didn't know how to speak, Chiang Kai-shek peeked at Zhuang Jihua and saw that he was stunned, completely stupid. Chiang Kai-shek nodded in his heart, it seems that Zhuang Jihua is still loyal to him.

"It's impossible, it's impossible, how can this be." Zhuang Jihua muttered that when he woke up, he immediately felt a huge crisis, and it was self-evident what would happen to those who could threaten Chiang Kai-shek's position.

"Principal, the students think that you are too pessimistic and have lost confidence," even if Zhuang Jihua protects himself, he must immediately refute Chiang Kai-shek: "Although Ji Jiashan has different opinions with you, the principal personally created Whampoa, created the party army, two crusades to the East, and made great contributions to the people, these are all real, Ji Jiashan cannot not have scruples, Wang Jingwei wants to deal with you, and the party soldiers will not agree." The Whampoa system, except for you who can lead, no one else can lead it. ”

"When it comes to the people in the national political axe, Wang Jingwei has his appearance, Tan Yankai is a good man, Zhu Peide and Li Jishen, and their reputation is far below the principal; Hu Hanmin, [***] has long distrusted him and will never unite with him; Chen Youren and Song Ziwen are not yet able to take on great responsibilities and have even less fame; The students really don't know who else can take on the task of leading the national revolution. Zhuang Jihua unceremoniously evaluated several major leaders of the national political axe.

Zhuang Jihua's reaction made Chiang Kai-shek very satisfied and surprised, he didn't expect that Zhuang Jihua would look down on these national political axe leaders so badly, but after thinking about it, Chiang Kai-shek had to admit that Zhuang Jihua was right.

"Headmaster, the students believe that Ji Jiashan's purpose in suppressing you is to suppress the Northern Expedition; After the defeat of Soviet Russia in the north, Ji Jiashan will come to curry favor with you, so the current difficulties are temporary, and behind what you said about Li Haoyi, the students also have different ......opinions," Zhuang Jihua paused, sorted out his thoughts and then said: "Li Haoyi I knew this person during the first Eastern Crusade, he was in the propaganda team at that time, his remarks were extremely extreme, and he was vain, and the students believed that the purpose of his participation in the revolution was to get ahead, and in his opinion this was a shortcut. This person has no ability except to shout a few empty words, and if he absorbs this kind of person into the party, he will suffer a big loss sooner or later. ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying." Chiang Kai-shek was finally moved, and Zhuang Jihua immediately continued: "[***] is actually the same as our Kuomintang, his internal control is stricter than ours, but the people below also have their own way, let's say Li Haoyi, he is the secretary of the Youth League Committee of Sun Yat-sen University, but there is no cp in the shouting group that distributed leaflets, my girlfriend has never participated in political activities before, and even such people have been brought in to fill the number, which shows that Li Haoyi did not dare to use people in the party at all, which also shows that he did it without his superiors." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "What if Chen Yannian didn't deal with this Li Haoyi?" ”

"That's great," Zhuang Jihua immediately put forward his follow-up: "Let Sun Xuexue come forward to initiate a protest to the Central Committee, ask for an explanation from the [***] side, and then contact the people of the Central Party Department to respond and formulate a rule and regulations to restrict [***]'s activities." We cannot casually attack our party leaders. The advantage of this is that we do not bear the charge of undermining the cooperation between the KMT and the CCP. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was finally satisfied, in his opinion, Zhuang Jihua didn't want to deal with [***], as long as the excuse was appropriate, he was better than anyone else. But Zhuang Jihua is gambling, he is betting that Chen Yannian will definitely punish Li Haoyi, as long as they punish Li Haoyi, then Chiang Kai-shek will have nothing to say, and if he speaks again, Chiang Kai-shek will no longer suspect that [***] will be unfavorable to him. The two of them didn't think about Wang Jingwei's attitude at all, in their opinion, it was very easy to deal with Wang Jingwei.

"That's good, Cultural Revolution, you also have a girlfriend, are you from there?" Chiang Kai-shek was kind and asked with a smile. Zhuang Jihua looked at Chiang Kai-shek and said with some embarrassment: "Fresh, she herself is still studying in a female teacher." ”

"That's right, Li Zhilong is married, but you and Wushan are still hanging, this is not good, heroes and beauties have been the same since ancient times, it is impossible for me, who is a teacher, to introduce your girlfriend to you, you have to act on your own, there is a suitable person to pay attention to Wushan, he is also not a small boss, and Hu Zongnan, this kid also stays in the barracks all day, and he doesn't want to think about how old he is." Chiang Kai-shek showed his love for his disciples at this time. It was only then that Zhuang Jihua finally determined that Chiang Kai-shek was really relieved, at least temporarily, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the nerves that had been tense relaxed.

"Headmaster, both of these two are donkeys, and they both claim that if the revolution is not successful, they will not marry." Zhuang Jihua shook his head and sighed, of course his sigh was pretended.

"Hehe, of course it's good to have this kind of determination, it's not easy for me to be a teacher." Chiang Kai-shek also smiled, and the two began to chat.

"Cultural Revolution, how long do you think it will take for the revolution to succeed?"

"It's hard to say." Zhuang Jihua thought to himself, it depends on whether you divide the Communist Party or not.

"Why?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

"I think that the time for the revolution to succeed is inversely proportional to the stability of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and if the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is stable, within five years, the revolution will succeed; On the contrary, if the cooperation between the KMT and the CCP breaks down, I am afraid it will take another twenty or thirty years. Zhuang Jihua's tone was as gentle as possible, but he was very nervous in his heart.

Sure enough, Chiang Kai-shek frowned, and he pondered for a while and asked, "What is the basis for your judgment?" ”
