Section VII Vitality VIII

A few days later, Zhang Qun's speech was handed over to Chiang Kai-shek's desk, along with the speech, along with Zhang Xueliang's reading notes, including the notes on "The Fate of China".

The war is coming to an end, domestic affairs have become the focus of Chiang Kai-shek's concern, the industrial enterprises gathered in the three southwestern provinces began to gradually move to the central part of the country, Wuhan has become the key area of relocation, after two years of emergency repair, Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant resumed production, the construction of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, this is the first bridge across the Yangtze River, the day of the opening of the whole country was shocked, Hubei Provincial Chairman Yu Hanmou, Vice President of the Executive Yuan of the National Government Song Ziwen, have attended the opening ceremony, hundreds of Chinese and foreign reporters from all over the country arrived, Mao Yisheng, the chief designer of the bridge, announced the opening to traffic

The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, connecting the Pinghan Railway and the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway into a line, making military transportation smooth, and the train from Guangzhou could go all the way to Shanhaiguan, relieving the pressure on front-line logistics materials

With the completion of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the national government announced a ten-year plan for transportation development, and decided to build the Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge and the Jinan Yellow River Bridge within ten years, and build a transportation network throughout the country with the Longhai Line and the main artery of the Pinghanjinpu horizontal and two vertical railways as the axis

In the newspapers, the news about the war was greatly reduced, 300,000 Japanese troops were entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, and nearly 2 million troops in the Jianghuai Theater and the Jiangnan Theater had no idea of attacking. Xue Yue took the civil engineering department as the core and reorganized all the local troops in the Jiangnan Theater

In the northwest, the Xinjiang rebellion was completely quelled, and after Bai Chongxi was transferred out of Xinjiang, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Zhang Zhizhong as the chairman of Xinjiang Province, the chairman of the Mongolian Xinjiang Committee, and the director of the Mongolian Xinjiang Pacification Office; Liu Wenhui is the commissioner of the Southern Xinjiang Administration, the vice chairman of the Mongolian Xinjiang Committee, and the deputy director of the Mongolian Xinjiang Pacification Office, and Tao Zhiyue is the commander of Xinjiang security

After Zhang Zhizhong took office in Xinjiang, he began to implement a series of reconciliation policies and invited a large number of high-ranking figures of ethnic minorities to join the provincial government, thus easing the tense situation in Xinjiang

Another result of the rebellion in Xinjiang was that a large number of enterprises invested and built by the former Soviet Russia in Xinjiang were nationalized, and although the Soviet Russia protested, the Chinese government refused to accept these enterprises on the grounds that they were established under an unfair treaty signed between Sheng Shicai and Soviet Russia, and with the confiscation of these enterprises, Soviet Russia could no longer control the economy of Xinjiang

The momentum of military economic development is good, but the domestic politics have not been calm, dozens of parties have been established throughout the country, Chiang Kai-shek has a headache when he looks at these parties, the Democratic League, the Democratic National Construction Association, the People's Union Front, these are not bad, and what else is the fΓΉ female liberation party, the vegetarian party, etc., dozens of people have also formed a party

After the Battle of Northeast China, Zhou Enlai protested in the regular talks between the two parties, accusing the troops of the Northeast Theater of attacking the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in South Manchuria and plotting against the troops of the 11th Army, Chen Cheng did not admit this, but promised to let the Northeast Theater investigate

The Northeast Theater quickly replied, admitting the former and refuting the latter accusation, arguing that it was the 11th Army's southward movement that led to the rebellion of the former puppet Manchurian Defense Forces, which had nothing to do with *

As for the former, the Northeast Theater did not know that there were guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in South Manchuria, and according to intelligence, there were no troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Northeast, and the 11th Army fought in North Manchuria, while there were no troops of the Eighth Route Army in South Manchuria

Before the Battle of Northeast China, the Eighth Route Army had two troops into the Northeast, one to the north and the other to the south, and the Yang Cwu Department to the north advanced to the Heilongjiang region and opened up a base area in the southern part of Binjiang Province now, while Zeng Klin's department went south and advanced to South Manchuria

After the Battle of North China, the heart of the puppet Manchurians was shaken, the main force of the Japanese army began to assemble at Shanhaiguan, the guerrillas gained room for development, some local officials and police of the puppet Manchukuo began to contact the guerrillas, and the guerrillas took the opportunity to open up some small base areas

However, in the Battle of Northeast China, South Manchurian was a key battlefield, and the large armies of both sides gathered, which quickly compressed the space of the guerrillas, and Zhuang Jihua seized the opportunity to eliminate the local power formed by the guerrillas, and the army was either absorbed or driven away

The Northeast ** occupies an absolute advantage, although the two parties are in conflict, but because Zhuang Jihua is in charge, the conflict is still under control, and it is Shanxi that is severe

In Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army occupied about half of the area, the northern Jin Dynasty, the northwest Jin Dynasty, the eastern Jin Dynasty and the southeastern Jin Dynasty, all of which were occupied by the Eighth Route Army, Yan Xishan and the Central Army each occupied the remaining half, and Yan Xishan occupied the Taiyuan region, the flattest and fertile land in Shanxi, and the Central Army occupied the southern Jin region

On the one hand, he maintained a superficial friendship with GCD, and the high-level leaders of the two sides often met and often cooperated on some matters, but secretly continued to expand to the east and north, frequently squeezing the GCD base regime, provoking disputes between the two sides, and small-scale conflicts continued, and Zhou Enlai frequently protested in Chongqing

Regarding the situation in Shanxi, Chen Cheng said that he could not help, the central government's influence on Yan Xishan was limited, and the Jin army did not listen to the central government's advice to Yan Xishan, so he asked Yan'an to discuss with Taiyuan, but privately, Chiang Kai-shek provided Shanxi with 20 million legal currency funds under the extremely tight financial situation, and at the same time provided the Jin army with all the equipment of the two integrated armies, and transferred military cadres from all over the country to assist Yan Xishan in reorganizing the army

In order to resist the military coercion of the first army, Yan'an stepped up the adjustment of deployment, Lin B led the main force of the 11th Army to return to Guannei to the south, and served as the commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Field Army, Chen Y served as the commander of the East China Field Army, and Liu Bcheng served as the commander of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army

At the same time as strengthening the army, politically, Yan'an has also further rectified and unified the internal situation, and the Seventh Congress is stepping up preparations, and leaders from all over the country have returned to Yan'an

Strengthening defense militarily and offensive politically is Yan'an's established strategy

The staff of the Hongyan Office frequently attended the rallies of various parties, preached political reform on various occasions, and promoted the idea of forming a coalition government This idea was supported by the majority of the parties, and the Democratic League and the People's United Front also put forward their own proposals one after another, and these proposals all demanded the end of political training and the implementation of constitutional government

However, Chen Cheng also knew that Yan'an was also stepping up preparations for war, and the intelligence from the Suiyuan Station of the Military Command indicated that in recent times, the Sino-Mongolian border area has been busy with transportation, and a large number of weapons and equipment, including 105 howitzers, have crossed the border from Mongolia into the area controlled by the Eighth Route Army, and the intelligence personnel hidden in Suiyuan estimate that these weapons are enough to equip 50,000 troops

After these situations were reported, Chiang Kai-shek did not react much, and Yan'an's acquisition of weapons and equipment from Soviet Russia was expected, and he instructed the ambassador to the Soviet Union to discuss with the Soviet side, so there was no other action, and he was most concerned about Deng Yanda now

After Deng Yanda arrived in Shenyang, he uncharacteristically appeared to be very low-key, and did not accept interviews with other reporters except for interviews with American reporters Weber and Bai Xiude

The branches of the People's Alliance Front in Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin and other places were established in a low-key manner, and Deng Yanda only attended the inauguration ceremony of the Shenyang branch, so he rarely showed up, as if the assassination on the road had made him tremble

Pay attention to Deng Yanda mainly because of Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua's current attitude is unpredictable, after the last angry call, Zhuang Jihua never mentioned this matter again, and I don't know how he persuaded Deng Yanda to keep him silent

It seems that Zhuang Jihua has completely focused his attention on the reconstruction of the Northeast, and he has moved the experience of southwest development to the Northeast, and the experts of the original southwest development have been invited to the Northeast by him, and then he put forward the Northeast road traffic construction plan and began to rebuild the Northeast traffic

After 500 million legal currency was invested in the Northeast, it injected energy into the economy of the Northeast, factories opened, banks opened, shops opened, and the people took the hidden pseudo Manchurian currency to the bank for exchange, and the Bank of Manchuria and the Bank of Japan were nationalized, and Zhuang Jihua did not hand it over, but formed a bank, the Northeast Bank

Northeast Bank is a joint venture bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Sichuan Development Bank, and Siming Bank controlled by Yu Qiaqing have injected capital into Northeast Bank, becoming a shareholder of Northeast Bank

The war made the whole country experience the baptism of blood and fire, and the whole of northern China became a huge construction site, and the important towns of Tianjin, Langfang, and Tanggu Zhou in the North China Plain were all construction sites, and all places were asking the central government for money

Song Ziwen also made Chiang Kai-shek feel a headache at this time, Chiang Kai-shek rummaged through his pocket and couldn't find a few pieces of fiat currency, he hoped to adopt Kong Xiangxi's way to implement deficit finance, but Song Ziwen didn't do it, thinking that this would form a violent inflation, Chiang Kai-shek retreated to the second, hoping to issue bonds to raise some funds, but Song Ziwen still refused

On this issue, Ma Yinchu and Liu Hangchen, vice minister of finance, supported Chiang Kai-shek's opinion, Ma Yinchu believed that with the victory of the war, the circulation of legal tender has also expanded, "the Japanese army used to carry out economic warfare, not allowing legal tender to circulate in the occupied areas, the purpose is to hit our country's economy, now North China, Northeast China has been recovered, these areas have a population of more than 100 million, with an average of 100 legal currency per person per year, can accommodate 10 billion legal currency, inflation is not terrible, as long as inflation is controlled within a certain range, It's also acceptable."

Liu Hangchen also believes that being able to implement deficit finance and issue an additional billion legal tender will not bring much expansion, and that the funds needed for the reconstruction of North China are huge, and the funds needed in Tianjin alone will exceed 2 billion, and even if private capital is counted, 300 million yuan will be needed as start-up capital

"Captain Zhuang has a very correct sentence, to maintain social stability, the first thing is to let people have jobs, only with jobs can there be income, only with income can they buy food, in order to feed their families, and the issuance of a part of the currency can revitalize the economy, revitalize factories in urgent need of funds, and promote employment growth"

The support of Ma Yinchu and Liu Hangchen made Song Ziwen have to give in and agree to issue an additional billion legal currency, Chiang Kai-shek increased it to 1.5 billion with a stroke of the pen, and Song Ziwen could only reluctantly accept it, and the 5.5 billion was allocated to the Northeast, 500 million to North China, and of the remaining 500 million, 100 million was given to Xinjiang, and after a toss, Chiang Kai-shek still had 400 million left in his hands

What made Chiang Kai-shek really happy was the international issue, and Roosevelt finally agreed to persuade Stalin that the Yalta Conference was not a three-nation conference but a four-nation summit, and the last time the American ambassador Gauss came to report on the matter, Roosevelt was rare to harden Stalin, and he warned Stalin that if China could not attend, then there would be no need for the Yalta Conference

Stalin also needed the Yalta Conference, the Soviet army was out of the country, the post-war European problems had to be supported by the Allies, and the Soviet Russia was interested in Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Balkan countries, and Stalin very much wanted to bring these countries into the sphere of influence of Soviet Russia

In the Pacific Theater, the U.S. military continued to attack the Japanese after repairs, and after the end of the Mariana War, the U.S. military began to clean up the outlying islands of the Philippines, and an attack on the Philippines was imminent

In order to enhance its logistical capabilities, the United States negotiated with China and asked China to expand the port of Qingdao and prepare for the Allied fleet to dock

"Chairman, there are some things that don't need to be rushed, the economy can take its time, and we must pay attention to key issues," Chen Guofu said slowly, his thin face as if he was forever full of sorrow

Chiang Kai-shek was well aware of the key issues he was talking about, but the problem was that Zhuang Jihua was like a hedgehog, which seemed easy to deal with, but in fact it was difficult to deal with

The last time he went to the Northeast, he had already made it clear that he was going to leave after the war, but could Chiang Kai-shek let him leave? Those generals of the Sichuan Army in the Northeast Theater, those generals he personally promoted, and invincible soldiers under his command, will agree to him go? 〕

In addition to these, Chiang Kai-shek must also face surging public opinion, rabbits and dogs, and denigration of meritorious heroes, these accusations will inevitably surge, and those who appreciate Zhuang Jihua, those centrists, will inevitably be secretly suspicious, and then shake their loyalty to him

The terrible thing is that Zhuang Jihua said this sentence also had another effect, Chiang Kai-shek originally planned to promote him to chief of the general staff with the method of promoting him to the chief of the general staff, but he was stillborn, and it was obvious that he would not accept this decision

Chiang Kai-shek sighed: "It's still the same sentence, take your time, don't be in a hurry"

Chen Guofu also seemed to understand the trickiness of this matter, he nodded, the autumn outside the courtyard was deep, the fallen leaves were fluttering in the wind, and the attendants in the courtyard had changed into autumn clothes, the Mao suit made in the United States was straight and close-fitting, and the whole person looked neat and heroic

An autumn wind blows through the mountains, and the leaves rattle, and the yellow leaves leave the branches and fly up and down, sometimes rising into the air, sometimes diving into the ground

Chiang Kai-shek looked at the yellow leaves dancing in the wind, and his mood fluctuated from time to time, no matter what, he already smelled the smell of victory, which was so fragrant and intoxicating
