The reason why Zhang Dongbei said this is not for no reason. Eight years ago, that is, between 1933 and 1934, Zhou Xiaofeng said. At that time, there was no reason for the Takben to send assassins to kill Chiang Kai-shek's confidential secretary, because during that period the Nationalist Axe led by Chiang Kai-shek and the invaders were in close cooperation, and they worked together against the Red Army led by the Chinese [***]. He said that he had no reason to do this at all, and the consequence of doing so would only push Chiang Kai-shek, who was still an ally, to his opposite, and he said that he was not a fool, and of course they would not do this. Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek did not later issue a notice of reprimand against Yueben, or directly declare war on Yue. His confidential secretary was killed by himself, and he also found out the murderer, but suddenly there was no follow-up, which is very strange in itself.

"Actually, have you ever thought that the person who killed Ah Zhu was the Kuomintang, or Chiang Kai-shek?" Zhang Dongbei said something that shocked Zhou Xiaofeng even more.

Zhou Xiaofeng glared at Zhang Dongbei angrily and said coldly: "Brigade Commander Zhang, do you know what you are talking about? You're denigrating a head of state, you're committing a capital offense, you know? Zhang Dongbei directly ignored his anger at the moment, and said: "Commander Zhou, I know that you are from Huangpu, and you have always respected Chiang Kai-shek, and not to mention that in your mind, he also wanted to clear his suspicion back then. But have you thought about it, maybe the incident back then was simply a bureau set up by Chiang Kai-shek. Eight years ago, the Kuomintang and Yue himself were in a cooperative relationship at all, although earlier Yue Ben launched a war of aggression against Shanghai, but in Chiang Kai-shek's heart, he always believed that [***] was his own henchman, so at that time he chose to cooperate with Yue himself, the purpose was to suppress the Communists, then you tell me, under such a premise, what reason do you have to send someone to kill Chiang Kai-shek's confidential secretary. And the most important point is that Ah Zhu is just a confidential secretary and not a spy, and all he can know is some information about the Kuomintang, and she can't get any information about herself at all. But in the end, Chiang Kai-shek gave the result that Ah Zhu died at the hands of the agent Yuben, and in the end, the matter was not resolved, which sounded very suspicious. ”

Zhou Xiaofeng was silent, he didn't think about this, but he didn't want to think about things in this way, he was born in Huangpu, from the first day he entered Huangpu, Chiang Kai-shek was his idol, a person worthy of his respect, as a soldier, he could not doubt the leader of his country, as a student, he could not doubt his President Jiang. So after Chiang Kai-shek told him everything, he finally chose to believe it. For so many years, he has always regarded Yueben as a mortal enemy in his heart. Therefore, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, in the face of the invaders, he disregarded his life and death, made many military exploits, and quickly rose from a trainee platoon commander to the position of today's group army commander. He and his troops have stood up from the corpses of the enemy again and again, so his troops also have the name of the Iron Force.

"If the chairman really wants to kill Ah Zhu, there is no need for him to stage such a false image." Zhou Xiaofeng still didn't believe it.

Zhang Dongbei thought for a while and said: "According to my speculation, the reason why Chiang Kai-shek did this may be because he didn't want you to rebel. Back then, you were among the best in Whampoa, and your performance was the best in all aspects, and I think that's why her confidential secretary fell in love with a trainee platoon commander and he didn't ask the slightest question. And after that, Ah Zhu may have discovered some of Chiang Kai-shek's ulterior secrets, and just as she wanted to tell you these secrets, she was shot dead by the assassins sent by Chiang Kai-shek, and then Chiang Kai-shek made up a big lie to you. ”

Listening to some assumptions of Zhang Dongbei, Zhou Xiaofeng's face became more and more ugly.

"But I was only a trainee platoon commander at the time, and there were people who were stronger than me in the [***] sequence, and Chiang Kai-shek didn't need to make up such a big lie for me."

Perhaps this is Chiang Kai-shek's brilliance. The death of his confidential secretary by brutality is a major event for all walks of life in the country, and of course he must give a reasonable explanation. And as I said before, you are a talent, although Chiang Kai-shek is not a good national leader, but at least he has done a good job in cherishing talents. For every useful person, he will make the best of it. And he rescued you from the brink of life and death, cleared all the charges for you, of course you will be loyal to him with all your heart, how can he not do such a number of things in one fell swoop. And in fact, the reason why I suspect that Ah Zhu's death is related to Chiang Kai-shek, the most important thing is what Aunt Mei said, what she saw with her own eyes back then was not a spy of Yuben, but Dai Li's subordinates. Connecting these, the truth is already self-evident. ”

Zhou Xiaofeng stopped talking, his fists were clenched tightly, he had doubts in his heart, but whenever he thought that this matter might be related to Chiang Kai-shek, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, he was afraid, he was afraid that one day he would finally understand and find out the truth of the whole thing, and the image he admired in his heart would collapse in an instant. But now Zhang Dongbei has answered all the questions he once thought of in his heart, and these answers have actually been hidden in his heart a few years ago, but he has never dared to admit it.

"Could it be that what happened back then was really an order given by the chairman himself? But why? What kind of conspiracy was the chairman planning back then, and even Ah Zhu would not let go? I remember him once saying to me that of all the confidential secretaries he worked on, Ah Zhu was the smartest and most empathetic. Zhou Xiaofeng was very distressed.

"The heart of the king is unpredictable, and since ancient times, it has been a companion like a tiger. Maybe one moment ago you were his confidant, a capable man, but in the blink of an eye, you may become his scapegoat, and this is the king. Zhang Dongbei said with some emotion, which is also the reason why he doesn't like politics. In political circles, what is eternal is always interests.

"I'm going to go to the chairman of the committee to ask clearly, I want to know what the truth of the matter was back then." Suddenly, Zhou Xiaofeng stood up suddenly.

"Commander Zhou, don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil. If you go to the Ministry of Chiang Kai-shek like this now, he will not admit it at all, but will bring death to yourself. If Chiang Kai-shek realizes that you still have doubts about the events of that year, then he will definitely get rid of you. Because no one will keep a time bomb around. Zhang Dongbei grabbed the impulsive Zhou Xiaofeng.

"So what should I do now?" Zhou Xiaofeng seemed a little aware.

"Commander Zhou, the current situation in China is still a foreign insult, so I still hope that you can be stationed here in case Xiao Yueben intends to further invade my China. As for the matter of Ah Zhu, I think you can investigate it secretly, and I must not let Chiang Kai-shek have any suspicion of you until there is real evidence. Of course, if you need it, I can ask the organization for their assistance. I think that in this way, the truth of the matter will soon come out. I don't know what Commander Zhou wants? Zhang Dongbei suggested. In fact, Zhang Dongbei proposed to be assisted by [***], the main purpose is to let Zhou Xiaofeng join the ranks of China's [***], Zhou Xiaofeng is indeed a general, and what is more valuable is that he is still a patriotic general. Such a person, and now that he has such a good opportunity, of course Zhang Dongbei will fight for it.

Zhou Xiaofeng glanced at Yi Zhimei, who had been standing outside the door and did not come in, his fists clenched again, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment, but in the end he still made a decision: "If I can get the help of your party, I will be grateful." In fact, I have always admired Mr. Mao, the leader of your party, and I also agree with the style of [***] people. If this [***] can really help me find out the truth of this incident back then, I will be grateful. ”

"Okay, since Commander Zhou doesn't object, then I will report to the organization. In fact, the reason why I have this suggestion is also because of Aunt Mei, who is also a party in this matter. Even if it is for Aunt Mei, we will definitely find out the truth of the year. to clear up the misunderstanding between you and Aunt Mei over the years. Zhang Dongbei said with a smile.

When Zhang Dongbei mentioned Yi Zhimei, Zhou Xiaofeng glanced at Yi Zhimei standing outside the door again, and what he saw in his eyes was still guilt and self-blame. Over the years, he has been blaming himself for the catastrophe that happened to Aunt Mei's family, and he couldn't find Aunt Mei back then, and he has been deeply blaming himself for so many years. Now that he finally saw her again, Zhou Xiaofeng really wanted to do something for her, and find out the truth, for himself and for Aunt Mei.
