Soong Meiling sent a telegram to Kong Xiangxi before boarding the plane in Luoyang, asking Kong Xiangxi to propose a time limit for an armistice at the joint meeting, stipulating that Christmas Day would be the deadline, and if Chiang Kai-shek could not return to Beijing at that time, the Central Army would launch an attack, and this decision would be announced after she arrived in Xi'an. Full\Ben\Small\Say\Net [Chinese. When Kong Xiangxi handed over the telegram to Zhuang Jihua and Zhang Jingjiang to read, Zhuang Jihua not only admired Song Meiling's wisdom.

"This is a ruined boat, put to death and then live, clever, clever! If my wife can lead the troops, she must be a general! Zhuang Jihua exclaimed.

Zhang Jingjiang also agreed, but he still added a layer of caution: "This is a risky move, and we have to plan how to do it when the time comes." ”

"Don't worry, you can start from the west first, let Hu Zongnan take the lead in attacking, followed by Yu Jishi, but Zhang Zhizhong is there to hold his troops and let them guess." Zhuang Jihua said lightly that Hu Zongnan took the lead in attacking, and he and Xi'an were still separated from the Communist Party's base area, but Guan Linzheng was making a detour from Gannan to Xianyang, and as long as it dragged on for more than ten days, Guan Linzheng's troops would be able to arrive. With such a siege on three sides, Zhang Yang could only retreat to the north and retreat to the Sino-Mongolian border.

"However, I have faith in my wife." Zhuang Jihua pointed to the proposal that Kong Xiangxi took: "I don't dare to make such a determination, but my wife did, which shows that she is very confident in the current situation." ”

Christmas is on the 25th, and there are only four days left until now, and it will take four days to complete this negotiation, Song Meiling's determination is not that of ordinary Da Jihua who would not dare to make such a decision.

On December 22, Song Meiling flew to Xi'an, accompanied by Song Ziwen, Jiang Dingwen, Dai Li, and Duanna. In the afternoon, Kong Xiangxi, on behalf of the joint meeting, announced that the armistice order would be maintained until 25 December, and that this day would be the limit. The Central Army will resume the offensive. The air in Nanjing and Xi'an suddenly became tense again.

However, Zhuang Jihua maintained his optimism, he did not stay in Nanjing at all, and ran to the Song Xilian division outside the city with the palace embroidery painting Wu Ziniu Lu Ruishan, leaving Zhang Jingjiang and Kong Xiangxi in the city to deal with the main battle faction, although their momentum was not as good as before.

The day before the armistice was suspended, December 24. Zhang Jingjiang simply came to him, and when they met, he scolded Zhuang Jihua for not being authentic and playing tricks. Knowing that there is nothing wrong, but he doesn't say anything to him, a crippled old man, watching him run around every day, but he runs to the side to hide and be idle, and now he doesn't do it anymore, everyone wants to be idle.

Zhang Jingjiang's "scolding" made everyone happy, and Song Xilian blinked happily and said, "Mr. Jingjiang is right, the Cultural Revolution." / I know best, he calculates everyone. Friends, allies, superiors, subordinates, enemies, he has been calculating us since the seventh company, and I have suffered too much. ”

"Meng Guo, you kid have to have a little conscience, and you're suffering again?" Zhuang Jihua was very "dissatisfied": "Look at the breeze and moon here, and the river is like a turn." It's a lot of poetry; Staying in such a place. Do you have anything to complain about, do you need to complain? ”

The suburbs of Nanjing in the evening are very beautiful. The clouds on the horizon are dyed with a little glow, and the white sails of the rivers and mountains shuttle. Occasionally, there was a long whistle or two, the soldiers had finished their exercises, and there was silence in the barracks; The Yangtze River flows quietly from the edge of Nanjing; War and politics seem to have suddenly moved away from them at this moment.

"yes, it's really beautiful, I never found it before." Gong Xiuhua couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, these days in Nanjing, Zhuang Jihua is fine, each of them has raised their hearts high, and they have not fallen until now.

Everyone was silent, they quietly looked at the river, looked at the Nanjing city wall that gradually became black, and thought about their own thoughts.

"Moe Guo, how long did you say it would take to build a pontoon bridge from Xiaguan to the other side?" Zhuang Jihua finally broke the silence, and Gong Xiuhua glanced at him dissatisfied, blaming him for not destroying this warm atmosphere. /

Song Xilian obviously didn't think about the meaning of Zhuang Jihua's question, he replied casually: "How can it be half a day to a day." ”

"So fast?" Zhuang Jihua expressed his doubts, he didn't care too much about things like pontoon bridges before, just now this extremely beautiful painting, made him think that a tragedy would happen here in a year, if there was a pontoon bridge by then, I am afraid that a lot of people could run out, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but think so.

Song Xilian didn't answer, but Zhang Jingjiang interjected and asked: "Cultural Revolution, there is no news from Xi'an so far, so you don't have to worry at all." "The dice have been rolled, what is there to worry about, the principal can leave Xi'an tomorrow." Zhuang Jihua said with certainty: "Zhang Yang also understands that their biggest advantage at present is the principal; If the card fails, they get nothing. We feel that time is tight, and they also feel that time is tight, Wang Jingwei is coming back, and without his wife in Nanjing, the attitude of the joint meeting is likely to change, and then there will be no way out for both sides. ”

"Will the Communists agree to let the principal come back?" Although the Communist Party sent a telegram to Nanjing, calling for peace, Nanjing still refused to believe it, because the enmity between the two sides was too deep.

"Of course, I just think that the Communist Party really wants to let the principal come back," Zhuang Jihua looked at the sky and gradually said with the last light faintly: "Have you noticed, the telegram to the Central Committee, and the attitude of Soviet Russia when the incident first happened; I think that Soviet Russia must have exerted influence on them, and Stalin would also bring back the rector for the sake of Soviet Russia. ///”

"On this point, I agree that the Communist Party wants to let the chairman back." Zhang Jingjiang nodded and said, he turned his head to look at the dark Nanjing: "However, as soon as he comes back, I don't know how many people will be shipwrecked and sunk, and they will never be able to get up again." ”

This topic is a bit heavy, this battle and the battle contains too many things, and there are too many people and groups involved, Zhuang Jihua already has some feelings, before Kong Xiangxi put forward the ultimatum, he discussed it with him and Zhang Jingjiang instead of with the Chen brothers, which has already shown his attitude, Song Meiling has not forgotten the initial "betrayal" of the Chen brothers.

However, the Blue Coat Society is definitely the biggest loser, they have been fighting from beginning to end, He Jinhan's various measures have all aroused suspicion, the Blue Army, the White Oath, two electrifications, and many measures. Chiang Kai-shek's return must be liquidated.

Of course, the biggest winner will definitely be Zhuang Jihua, whose unwavering support for Soong Meiling from beginning to end has somehow turned the tide in Nanjing, and Chiang Kai-shek's trust in him by Soong Meiling will increase to an unprecedented degree. //

"How many things are successful or not, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few times." Zhuang Jihua sighed: "For two thousand years, this river has witnessed many ups and downs. But looking back, what is it? And what? Fascism is an extreme ideology that is not suitable for China. It's okay if the Blue Coat Society is disbanded. Junshan's setback is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and Song Xilian asked in a low voice: "Do you think the principal will dissolve the Blue Coat Society?" This was personally ordered by his old man. ”

"But the Blue Coat Society has changed, contrary to the original purpose of its establishment, you look at the years, fighting for power and profit, corruption, and lax discipline. Iron blood, discipline, and incorruptibility that were proclaimed four years ago. How many are left now? Zhuang Jihua shook his head and sighed, the thriving Blue Coat Society will disappear in just a few years.

"There are millions of people in the Blue Coat Society. The headmaster just disbanded them like that? Song Xilian still didn't believe it. I'm afraid it won't be disbanded at once, but it's definitely disbanded, and your headmaster has a high skill in this regard. Zhang Jingjiang said slowly, in fact, he was not optimistic about this organization back then, but he looked at it from the perspective of his personal grudge with Chiang Kai-shek, and later after communicating with Zhuang Jihua, he had a theoretical basis for opposing it, and this judgment was based on his understanding of Chiang Kai-shek.

"Cultural Revolution, what's next?" Song Xilian is a little curious, he doesn't like politics. But the political sphere of events is far greater than the military sphere. He couldn't understand it at all, so he had to turn to Zhuang Jihua for help.

"What to do? What else can be done. Train well and prepare for war. Zhuang Jihua said that he seemed to think of something: "By the way, Mengguo, send your younger siblings and nephews and nieces to Chongqing, so as not to be in a hurry." ”

"In a hurry?" Song Xilian turned his head to look at Zhuang Jihua suspiciously, and suddenly understood: "You mean that the War of Resistance is about to begin?" Nanjing can't hold it? Is that so? ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't speak, he stood up and stretched, took a deep breath of the cold wind blowing on the river, and said a little intoxicated: "Our generation of soldiers is happy and unlucky, I hope we can finish all the battles that should be fought, and when they grow up, they don't have to fight anymore." ”

"Cultural Revolution, if you insist on this judgment, then should the factories and mines in Jiangsu and Zhejiang be relocated?" Zhang Jingjiang asked in a deep voice.

This makes Zhuang Jihua's answer difficult, if it should be, then what is the reason? A full-scale war next year? Where is the basis? If not, once the war breaks out, will so many businesses have time to relocate? Zhuang Jihua was not sure.

After hesitating for a while, Zhuang Jihua finally didn't dare to say it to death: "If you don't fight next year, you will fight the year after next; Tell them not to expand the production plants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and shift the focus to Sichuan and Yunnan. By the way, sir, can you organize a group of business people from Shanghai to go to Yunnan to investigate, where the mineral ratio is also very rich. ”

"This is no problem, leave it to me and Brother Ade," Zhang Jingjiang took care of everything, and now he and Yu Qiaqing have a bit of a consistent posture in the Shanghai Tang business community: "Cultural Revolution, Du Yuesheng has come to me a few times, and I want to get to know you." ”

As soon as Du Yuesheng was mentioned, Zhuang Jihua remembered that he still owed him about the palace embroidery painting, so he nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem, I still owe him a drink." However, I don't know if I will have time to go to Shanghai, and in the future, I will be in charge of this aspect of local affairs, and my work will be transferred to the army, and I will strive to train 100,000 elites next year. ”

Zhang Jingjiang was okay, Zhuang Jihua repeatedly instilled in him the time of the outbreak of war when he returned to China; But Song Xilian didn't, he looked at Zhuang Jihua, he didn't understand, Zhuang Jihua was in such a hurry, could it really break out next year that a full-scale war between China and Japan would break out? More importantly, why was he so confident that Chiang Kai-shek would return tomorrow.

But the facts told him that Zhuang Jihua won again. On December 25, Christmas Day, festive firecrackers rang out throughout Nanjing, which was not only a celebration of Christmas, but also a celebration of Chiang Kai-shek's safe departure from Xi'an.
