After Zhuang Jihua finished writing, he picked up the paper that had been blown everywhere by the wind, carefully scrutinized it again, demonstrated the feasibility of the plan from several aspects, and made some adjustments, and the report was completed.

At this time, I heard someone knocking on the door, it was Zhao Hanjie who came in, Zhuang Jihua was about to ask him something, but saw him holding a lunch box in his hand, Zhuang Jihua felt a little hungry, and before he knew it, it was dinner time.

After Zhao Hanjie put down the lunch box, he hesitated and didn't want to leave, Zhuang Jihua asked him a little puzzled what was the matter, Zhao Hanjie said in a hesitant way that he wanted to go back to the army and the Seventh Company.

Zhuang Jihua asked him why he was a little puzzled? Zhao Hanjie said that he was illiterate, and he didn't know what to do if he stayed here. Wu Ziniu and Zhao Hanjie have different feelings about this job, Wu Ziniu is more or less literate, and Zhao Hanjie is basically illiterate; Therefore, Zhao Hanjie's mood has not been high, he doesn't know if he can do this errand well, and the idea of returning to Qilian is in Shantou.

Zhuang Jihua was a little amused when he heard this: "Are you sick in the brain, just get a salary and don't work, where to find this kind of good thing." ”

But Zhao Hanjie said: "I know that the chief is good for me, but... But I'm not sure. ”

Wu Ziniu and Zhao Hanjie are the two people Zhuang Jihua likes to take with him, the former has excellent military skills and is a good bodyguard, and the latter is honest and loyal, which is reassuring. Now that this reassuring person wants to leave, Zhuang Jihua will put it there.

Zhuang Jihua thought about it and felt that this matter was not easy to handle, but he was unwilling to give up this person, so he said: "Don't worry, when I am busy for these two days, we will discuss your affairs, okay?" ”

The chief said so, what else could Zhao Hanjie say, so he had to nod and agree. After he left, Zhuang Jihua finished his dinner in a few bites, and then picked up his pen and began to write the second analysis report: "The current situation and the countermeasures we should take"

At first, Zhuang Jihua thought that the state-owned internal worries would attack the strong enemy, and deliberately exaggerated the military threat he was currently facing in order to reorganize the army. There are many things that can be achieved through this threat, such as the problem of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, such as the problem of the national political axe, such as the problem of party building, etc., in the previous life, there was a saying that reform was used to solve the problems that arose in the reform, so why can't the revolution be used to solve the problems that arise in the revolution now?

Zhuang Jihua has a view on the development of the current revolution in Guangzhou, and in his view, the current revolution is only manifested in a small number of troops and a small number of rural areas. The vast majority of the members of society have not yet benefited from the revolution, while social unrest has intensified, and strikes have occurred almost daily; The dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has begun to expand, especially the influence of Soviet Russia, which Zhuang Jihua has always been wary of, has increased even faster; The newly established Kuomintang party department is basically presided over by cross-party members and plays a major role, while the Kuomintang members, except for complaining or complaining, are unwilling to preside over the Kuomintang department, which will make them lose the opportunity to become officials and will not be able to form a party department with combat effectiveness by themselves. This slackness of the Kuomintang organizations at the grassroots level has made the overall combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang as a political organization extremely weak, and it must be reformed, and the way to do this is to bring in new blood and youth.

Zhuang Jihua's report first analyzed the current political situation.

"The May Thirtieth Incident was caused by the Gu Zhenghong incident, which on the surface was an accident, but in fact it was a general outbreak of the countrymen's dissatisfaction with the barbaric aggression of the Chinese people, and the imperialists represented by Britain miscalculated the strength of the Chinese people and adopted more barbaric methods of suppression, triggering a wave of protests throughout the country. Because of its aggressive tactics, it has lost the ability to lead in negotiations, which is why it is the Shanghai business community that has come forward to negotiate with the concession authorities, and not [***]. Then the strategy that our party should adopt is to delay this negotiation, and even consider sabotaging this negotiation, and make sure that the negotiations break down.

Procrastination is done for several purposes:

First of all, the reform of military and party affairs in Guangdong will make it easier to unite the people at home and reduce resistance to reform within the party and the army in the face of a strong enemy outside. This is the most important point. How to reform the students will be discussed in more detail later.

secondly, to extend the influence of our Party among the workers and to make them identify with our Party; For a long time, the main support of our Party came from the intellectuals, and its influence among the workers and peasants was very small, and if this incident could be used to extend the Party's influence among the workers and establish trade unions under the control or influence of our Party, it would be of immeasurable benefit to the long-term development of the Party.

Third, the takeover of negotiations by our party can establish our party's position in the hearts of the people and allow the foreign powers to re-understand our party. In particular, it is possible to grasp the time to end the wave of protests.

How to carry out the reform of party and military affairs? The students believed that the most important task of reform was the reform of party affairs.

At present, there are many corrupt and degenerate members of our party, and there are many people who are in high positions and incompetent, and they lack revolutionary enthusiasm compared to [***], so they must reform, and the students secretly believe that the introduction of [***] members by the prime minister is only the first step in reforming the party, and the next step of reform must be carried out.

The reform of the party should first start with the introduction of new blood, the so-called new blood is the youth, young people are like the sun at the first o'clock in the morning, the tide is vigorous, compared with the old school of party members who stick to the rules and sit and talk about the way, they are more enthusiastic, dare to challenge the tradition, dare to go deep into practice.

However, after joining the party, young people are easily influenced by the current atmosphere, so it is necessary to let them go deep into the countryside and factories to understand the workers and peasants and participate in grassroots work.

At present, our grassroots organizations are generally county party departments, but counties are not the smallest administrative units in China, and the smallest natural units in China are villages, so party branches should be established in villages; In the cities, party branches should be established in each factory and in each district, so as to control the entire factory and the countryside.

The prerequisite for the promotion of cadres is that they must have worked at the grassroots level for more than three years and have made achievements before they can participate in the election for higher-level cadre posts. The method of promotion should be changed to an election system instead of the current appointment system; The disadvantage of the appointment system is that it is only for the top, not for the bottom; In this way, the opinions of the grassroots can be easily uploaded, and the high-level cannot and dare not ignore the opinions from the lower levels. ……。

The second is fiscal reform. Guangdong's fiscal revenue is tens of millions of dollars a year, but how much is the real revenue from the national treasury? There are only a few millions, and the main wealth is privately intercepted by the army, that is, it is mainly intercepted by a small number of high-ranking generals in the army, and this kind of military practice of collecting finance and taxes is a warlord practice, which must be resolutely eradicated, and the finance and taxes must be unified in the hands of the political axe, and the political axe must be used in a centralized manner.

Guangzhou's fiscal and taxation projects are numerous, and the people are unbearable, and this situation must be changed, and some unreasonable taxes must be abolished, and early tax collection must be resolutely prohibited, so as to benefit the people.

The reduction of tax revenues will inevitably lead to a decline in fiscal revenue, which can be compensated for in two ways, first, by taking back the customs, and taking advantage of this wave of protests, to take back the customs offices in Guangdong.

The recovery of the Cantonese Customs will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the imperialists, but in southern China, the main interests of the great powers here are the British, and there are very few interests in other countries, so all the contradictions will be the contradictions between the political axes of Guangdong and the British.

In addition to the recovery of customs, an additional opium excise duty (which can be set at five to ten times the current tax) can be added. Opium is a drug, and the people of the country hate it deeply, since the political axe is now unable to eliminate opium, then it can charge high taxes on opium, so that the poor can no longer afford to smoke opium, and since the rich have the money to smoke opium, it is necessary to make some contribution to the country.

What can also be levied is the excise tax on luxury goods. As the name suggests, luxury goods are enjoyed by the rich, and the rich contribute more to the country if they have money, which is also conducive to promoting a social atmosphere of diligence and thrift, hard work and simplicity.

Students believe that these three articles can make up for it, at least partially, for the loss of fiscal revenue. ……。

Third, reform the army. At present, there are nearly 100,000 troops in Guangdong, but the students of the revolutionary army in the real sense believe that only the party army, and the other armies have more or less remnants of the feudal army, and the means of army reorganization are politics first, system second, personnel transfer third, and finally mixed organization.

The so-called political primacy refers to the political education of the military, which is first aimed at officers, the establishment of education brigades in all armed forces, and the implementation of rotational training for officers, especially middle- and lower-ranking officers, with the aim of enhancing their political consciousness, and those who fail to meet the standards of political consciousness must be gradually transferred out of the military system.

All military academies have military academies in Guangzhou, and all these military academies should be merged into the Whampoa Military Academy, and in the future, all military officers must be graduates of military academies, and at the same time, all military officers should be allowed to apply for the Huangpu Military Academy.

In order to rectify the various armies, there are many military numbers in Guangzhou at present, but the combat effectiveness of the troops is uneven, and many of the troops are not well armed, so it is necessary to organize the troops at points, on the one hand, to eliminate the old and weak, and on the other hand, to control military expenditures, so that although the number of troops has declined, the combat effectiveness of the army will not decline. …。

Fourth, the establishment of a national political axe is a top priority.

At this time, the political, military, and economic time has come for the establishment of a national political axe, and this matter can no longer be delayed.

Politically, the people want a strong political axe to rely on for them; Militarily, the reorganization of the army must be carried out in the name of political axe; Economically, fiscal unification can only be implemented under the political axe.

Therefore, there are two things that must be carried out immediately, one is to send people to Shanghai to take over the negotiations, and the other is to immediately set up a national political axe. ……。

And finally, the strategy against the Great Powers.

Shanghai is a matter of interest to the great powers, so they can act in unison in Shanghai, but the great powers are not monolithic, they can divide and rule.

Among the great powers, Britain said that Britain was the direct initiator of this incident, and our spearhead could be directly aimed at these two, among which Britain was the most stubborn and should be the focus of our attack, and the way of striking should be peaceful, that is, by strike, refusing British goods, stopping financial transactions with Britain, refusing British investment in China, and transferring some of the projects negotiated with Britain to other countries, so that the great powers could be divided and made to put pressure on Britain and force Britain to make concessions.

In Canton, with the exception of the British, the other powers had no major interests, so the actions of Canton would not provoke the unified interference of the great powers, and even if there was, it would be partial and temporary, as long as we had a proper strategy, such as blockading the port against British ships, and all ships except British ships could enter Canton.

Britain will inevitably threaten with force, and such a threat can strengthen the unity of our party, government, and army, and will be conducive to our army and party.

…。 ”

Two days later, when Zhuang Jihua had finished writing the report, he read through the entire report as usual, and he was frightened by his boldness, and his first thought was to burn it. This thought disappeared after a round turn in his mind, because on the one hand Chiang Kai-shek already knew that he was going to submit a report, and on the other hand, he vaguely felt that if the plan in the report was really fully realized, then the dispute between the two parties could be reconciled under the law, and it was not impossible to avoid April 12. After thinking about it, he decided to hand over the report to Chiang Kai-shek.

Not only Zhuang Jihua was frightened, but Chiang Kai-shek was also frightened after reading the report, he softened his temples, and said in his heart This Zhuang Jihua is really bold, I don't have the strength to interfere with the party regime, he dares to put forward such a report, no, it should be a plan.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Chiang Kai-shek smiled self-deprecatingly and said to himself: "Niang Xipi, what's there, isn't it just a report?" ”

Then Chiang Kai-shek picked up the plan and looked at it carefully. After repeating the reading, Chiang Kai-shek thought solemnly for a moment, and then he picked up the phone.

"Brother Zhongkai? Do you have time today, I have something to show you, it's better if you come over ,....,, I'll see you. ”

Putting down the phone, Chiang Kai-shek called Shao Lizi in again and handed over Zhuang Jihua's report to him and asked him to transcribe it himself, not to others.

So Zhuang Jihua threw himself into the cusp again, more strictly speaking, in the undercurrent whirlpool.
