"Delin, what is your opinion?". qВ5 and c0M Li Zongren is in a state of two minds, and the advantages of taking office in the fifth theater are visible to the naked eye, for example, the number of troops is more than twice that of the first theater, and the location of the theater is even more important. But he felt that the five theaters at the moment had outstanding records, precisely because of their outstanding achievements. The pressure is even greater, and if there is a slight difference, the prestige will be ruined here.

"The adjustment of the theater has just been announced, and whether it is appropriate to adjust the commanders of the two theaters now is to be placed in my own person, and I should obey the dispatch of the central authorities." Li Zongren pondered and said, his meaning is actually very clear, if you use me, I will go; But I want to say that I can't blame everything in the future.

Lin Wei snickered in his heart, he thought that Li Zongren was hypocritical, just imagine that the five theaters have won successive victories, morale is high, several southwest troops and the Central Army are well-equipped, and Zhuang Jihua has seized the time to implement the social reform has begun to take shape, the people's support is extremely high, no matter who takes over, he will get great benefits in the short term, wouldn't it be a fool not to pick up such fruits.

To everyone's surprise, Chiang Kai-shek immediately adopted Li Zongren's opinion: "Delin is right, changing generals in battle is already a taboo for soldiers, and changing two catties at once is even more taboo." I think it's better for Delin to stay still. ”

Zhuang Jihua, Lin Wei, and Bai Chongxi were dumbfounded. Li Zongren remained silent, He Yingqin's face sank like water, and they each thought that Chiang Kai-shek was going to push out that person below.

"Jiang Mingsan is a tiger general, it is better to let him take over as the commander of the Fifth Theater." Chiang Kai-shek proposed his candidacy. He Yingqin was stunned for a moment, and almost immediately spoke out against it.

Jiang Dingwen was a tiger general in the Dongmeng expedition, and even during the Central Plains War, but since the defeat of the Communist Party in three years, he has been depressed, and in recent years, he has eaten, drank, prostituted and gambled in Shaanxi, and the power of the tiger general has long been gone, and there are very few concubines in the Huangpu department. Jiang Dingwen has two concubines, and it is said that he also suffers from serious venereal diseases, can such a person command hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves in the five war zones?

He Yingqin was in a dilemma at this time, emotionally he was willing to support Jiang Dingwen, but intellectually he felt inappropriate. Just as he was pondering, Zhuang Jihua spoke first.

"Principal, Mr. Jiang has been in Xi'an for a long time, and he is not familiar with the strategy and tactics of the Japanese army, and besides, the army in the Fifth Theater is complicated, and he is not familiar with generals at all levels, so I think it is appropriate to be a German prince." Zhuang Jihua does not know Jiang Dingwen's recent situation and has no ill feelings towards him, but it is obvious that Li Zongren knows more about the Fifth War Zone, and more importantly, the Fifth War Zone is actually the backing of the First World War now, and the First War Zone can only be regarded as the front line of the Fifth War Zone.

Chiang Kai-shek said calmly: "Besides, the First Theater has just increased its troops, so I think it is better for Delin not to move for the time being." ”

But Zhuang Jihua did not intend to back down, he insisted: "The art of war cannot be rigidly copied, and changing generals in battle means preventing unfamiliar generals from taking command." The First War Zone can have a smooth transition, Degong will serve in the Fifth War Zone, and the First War Zone can be succeeded by Wei Lihuang or General Tang Enbo, who are also familiar with the First War Zone. If Degong is not suitable for the Fifth War Zone, the students recommend General Bai Chongxi or General Sun Lianzhong, and they are equally suitable. ”

No one has dared to confront each other like this for many years. Chiang Kai-shek's face flashed with anger, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart: "Cultural Revolution, your idea is good, when Sun Lianzhong's prestige is not enough, and the Jiansheng General Staff needs him, I think it's decided." ”

He Yingqin saw that Zhuang Jihua was still going to speak out, and hurriedly persuaded: "During the Cultural Revolution, the principal was very worried. The Fifth Theater shouldered the heavy task of defending Wuhan, and besides, there was a general staff headquarters and a light pavilion below, and the Huangpu students below would definitely be able to help him get acquainted with the situation as soon as possible. ”

He Yingqin said while handing over his eyes to Zhuang Jihua. signaled him to stop insisting, but Zhuang Jihua didn't seem to see it and still insisted: "The future combat tasks of the Fifth Theater are very heavy, and they are the focus of the Japanese army's attack.

During the "Cultural Revolution", Chiang Kai-shek's face became even more gloomy. He interrupted Zhuang Jihua's words, and his tone gradually became stern: "We know the movements of the Japanese army. You don't have to worry about it, I believe that General Ming San can handle the affairs of the Fifth War Zone, and he is also a national general. ”

Zhuang Jihua still didn't give up, Lin Wei felt that he had to come forward at this time, and if it continued to develop, Chiang Kai-shek would inevitably attack on the spot, and I was afraid that he would deal with Zhuang Jihua on the spot, and it would be difficult to turn around at that time: "Cultural Revolution, don't you say anything, didn't you have any concerns, the strength of the Fifth Theater is strong, and the deputy commander of the theater is not General Sun Lianzhong." There won't be any big problems. ”

Lin Wei said while glancing at Zhuang Jihua. The anxiety in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed, Li Zongren also lightly touched Zhuang Jihua and asked him to stop, Zhuang Jihua suppressed the anger in his heart, he was very dissatisfied at this moment, he knew the purpose of Chiang Kai-shek's move, and Lin Wei said that the strength of the troops in the five theaters was a hint. Chiang Kai-shek would not let the Gui family control a war zone with strong troops, and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi probably knew this, so it was difficult for them to speak.

"Principal, the territory of the Fifth War Zone is vast, and there is often a feeling of being overstretched, and the students suggest adding "two catties of deputy commander of the small war zone." Zhuang Jihua suppressed the fire in his heart. Knowing that he couldn't write the article, he had to retreat to the next best.

"What do you think?" Chiang Kai-shek saw that Zhuang Jihua gave in, the anger in his heart went down a little, and he turned his head to ask Bai Chongxi and He Yingqin.

"I think it's okay, weren't there two deputy commanders when Duke De was in the past." Bai Chongxi readily expressed his support, which was a reward for Zhuang Jihua's support for Li Zongren.

"The five wars then from Shangqiu to the north bank of the Yangtze River, the war zone involves three provinces, which is several times more complicated than the first war zone" He Yingqin was even more guessing whether Zhuang Jihua's move was to divide Jiang Dingwen's power, and he was a little confused about Jiang Dingwen's appointment as the fifth war zone, after all, Jiang Dingwen fought well in the previous battles, even if his life was corrupt. The command capacity should still be there; However, as a precaution, he still recognized Zhuang Jihua's behavior. So he pondered and said, "It is appropriate to have two deputy commanders. ”

"Besides Sun Lianzhong, who do you belong to?" Chiang Kai-shek was talking about you, but his eyes were asking Zhuang Jihua.

Zhuang Jihua was also not polite: "The students recommended three people for the principal's reference, General Liao Lei, General Deng Xihou and General Hu Zongnan. Then he analyzed them one by one: "General Na Xihou is a national general. The Sichuan Army can be called the elite and has always been the main force of the operation on the southern front, and understands the Japanese army on the southern front; General Liao Lei also fought on the southern front, twice undertook the task of attacking on the southern front, and his combat achievements were also outstanding, and he was familiar with the situation in central and western Anhui; Shoushan is a general and can be of great use, although appointing him as deputy commander has the possibility of going beyond promotion, but Guangting's ability can indeed take on this heavy responsibility

He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi nodded almost at the same time, Zhuang Jihua's recommendation was fairer, in addition to Hu Zongnan, Sun Lianzhong was familiar with the northern line, and added a deputy commander who was familiar with the southern line, no matter what he said.

Chiang Kai-shek didn't answer, pacing back and forth in the room, and everyone didn't speak, the most suitable two people were not Huangpu department, Liao Lei was Gui department, and that Xihou was a Sichuan miscellaneous brand, but the current Sichuan warlord was about to be labeled as Zhuang Jihua, and he was barely a Zhuang family.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are of course willing to Liao Lei. But now that they are silent, it is likely that speaking out at this time will cause Chiang Kai-shek to immediately make the opposite choice. He Yingqin and Lin Wei are also willing to speak out, and they have different thoughts; He Yingqin, he is a native of Guizhou. I have long wanted to strengthen my relationship with Sichuan. Lin Wei saw that Zhuang Jihua liked Deng Xihou, so he simply did Zhuang Jihua a favor; So both of them liked Na Xihou, but neither of them spoke.

When Zhuang Jihua led Chiang Kai-shek to argue, Chen Cheng had been watching from the sidelines, he knew that Zhuang Jihua had made a mistake, and Jiang Dingwen's appointment to the Fifth War Zone was planned by Chiang Kai-shek, not on a whim, but this idea was only revealed to him.

The strength of the Fifth Theater was strong, and Chiang Kai-shek absolutely did not want to be in the hands of others, so he considered it from a deeper level. At present, among the rising stars of Huangpu, Zhuang Jihua has faintly suppressed others, and even Gu Zhutong, Jiang Dingwen, and Liu Zhi can't catch up. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek must find a way to balance Zhuang Jihua's power, and this balance can only come from within Whampoa, and he Chen Cheng is considered a catty, "but Chiang Kai-shek's habit is that there are many people, so he has to support another." This person seems to be Jiang Dingwen at present, and it may be Hu Zongnan or Gu Zhutong in the future.

After the Xi'an Incident, Zhuang Jihua's limelight was too strong, and he used the southwest as a base and gradually infiltrated the center. On the battlefield, there were three battles and three victories, and the prestige was unrivaled for a while, and Chiang Kai-shek's control of the southwest was met with his invisible resistance, which Chiang Kai-shek could not accept in any case, so it was inevitable to cut power, if Zhuang Jihua continued to collide. I'm afraid that even the chairman of the four provinces will not be able to keep it.

Chen Cheng admired Zhuang Jihua with jealousy and anger, admired his martial arts, jealous of his military exploits, and angry at his control of the Sichuan Development Company. Weapons and ammunition are first equipped with the southwest troops, so Zhuang Jihua's deflated is what he wants, but he doesn't want Zhuang Jihua to be deflated too much, after all, after Zhang Lisheng becomes the director of the material bureau, if he wants to control the materials, he must get Zhuang Jihua's support, and once Zhang Lisheng stands firm, the benefits to him are naturally self-evident.

"Chairman of the Committee, I think it is more appropriate for General Na Xihou to serve as the deputy commander and assist General Jiang Dingwen in commanding the southern front, which is also an encouragement to the generals of the Sichuan Army, and Chen Cheng's tone is very sincere

Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and understood the meaning of Chen Cheng's words. If the central government wants to enter Sichuan, it must get the support of the forces in Sichuan, and if Deng Xihou is promoted, he will go to the forces in Sichuan. signal, tell them to cooperate with the central government, the central government will never treat you badly, so that a deputy commander in exchange for "the favor of the generals, why not."

"Okay, it's that Xihou, the order was immediately issued Chiang Kai-shek bowed slightly, looked up at Zhuang Jihua, saw that his face was still unhappy, and felt a little sorry in his heart, so he waited warmly:

"That's it for today, Cultural Revolution, you can have a meal with me."
