In the past year, the situation of the War of Resistance behind enemy lines under the leadership of GCD was very unfavorable, following Matsui Shigen's encirclement and suppression of the Jiaodong anti-Japanese base area in Shandong, Okamura Ningji launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression of central Hebei and northwest Hebei in North China. \\。 In view of the fierce Japanese offensive, the main force of the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army moved to Taihang Mountain.

After succeeding in Jizhong. Okamura Ningji mobilized troops to launch an attack on Taihang Mountain, raided the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountain base area, and the chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, Zuo Q, was killed, although Peng Dhuai led the Eighth Route Army to fight bloodily, but the situation was still not recovered, at this time, the Japanese army suddenly stopped attacking, retreated, and then launched the Battle of Northern Hubei.

In the Battle of Northern Hubei, the Japanese army mobilized a total of more than 100,000 troops, and the central government originally predicted that the Kuomintang army would be defeated, and even Yichang might be lost, but the battle has developed to the present, the defeat of the Japanese army has been assured, two divisions were annihilated, and three divisions were struggling in the encirclement.

The Central Committee predicts that with the liberation of Wuhan, the prestige of the Nationalist Government will rise, which will have an impact on the current democratic movement and on the united front work in the Kuomintang Autonomous Region.

After receiving the telegram from the central government, Zhou Enlai visited Huang Yanpei, Zhang Lan and others, Dong Bwu, Bogu, and Deng Ychao frequently attended mass rallies and various political meetings, and publicized the coalition government in a high-profile manner.

Two days ago, Mr. Mei was sick and could not attend the political meeting, so Zhou EN came here to visit. Old man Mei's current identity is a little delicate, he is Song Meiling's uncle, and Zhuang Jihua's supporter, and has close ties with overseas Chinese in Nanyang, Chen Jiageng and others are his friends, in addition, he also has a good impression of GCD, and once took the initiative to visit Yan'an.

"I'm afraid Miss Mei is suffocating at home these days," Zhou Enlai looked at Mei Youlan with a smile.

Before Mei Youlan could speak, Old Man Mei smiled and said: "This girl, she just refuses to accompany me at home, running around all day long, a big girl's family, so wild, how can she get married." ”

Mei Youlan is already a big girl in her thirties, but she is still alone with her sister-in-law. ZHOU EN CAME TO SMILE FAINTLY: "OLD MAN, THIS IS A LOT OF HEART, AS FAR AS I KNOW, THOSE WHO PURSUE MISS MEI CAN BE LINED UP FROM THE SPIRITUAL FORTRESS TO SHANGQING TEMPLE." ”

In fact, Mei Youlan's situation is not a secret at all in the eyes of many people, even Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling are very clear, but no one will reveal it.

Old Man Mei gently patted the little hand on his shoulder and sighed: "This kid ,..."

"Mr. Zhou, you don't know," Mei Youlan didn't want to talk about this topic, in the past few years, the old man has been bolting her to his side, what is the purpose, everyone knows, seeing them talk about themselves at this moment, they quickly diverted the topic: "Grandpa, I'm afraid of losing me, now my Yuzhou Evening News, sales have dropped a lot, and your Xinhua Daily is about to catch up." ”

"Hehe," Zhou ENLAI couldn't help laughing: "Xinhua Daily still needs to work hard to catch up with your Yuzhou Evening News." ”

"Recently, your Xinhua Daily has published a lot of articles about the coalition government." Mei Youlan said.

"The coalition government is the inevitable composition of the government in China in the future, and it is a great progress for China's democracy." "In the future, China should be a democratic China, with a federal system, recognizing the legal status of all political parties, and all political parties competing peacefully. ”

"Does your party's base adopt this method as well?" Mei Youlan's journalistic spirit came into play, and the questions she raised began to sharpen.

"Of course, we have already practiced this method in various base areas behind enemy lines and in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, for example, in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region, we have implemented the three-three system, with one-third leftists and one-third middle-of-the-middle, and our party only has one-third of the quotas." Zhou EN came to the right color road.

"As far as I know, outside the government, your party has a parallel body, called the party committee, and this party committee is the ultimate power of local administration, and the government must listen to the party committee. Mei Youlan asked again.

"The party committee can only be in charge of the party's organization, and the government can be in charge of the government's affairs, which is very clear in the division of labor." Zhou ENLAI smiled faintly, didn't mind Mei Youlan's sharpness, just calmly explained: "At this stage, our government organization still has a lot of traces of our party, this is because it is a war period, and we are not very at ease with the Kuomintang, so the party committee also interferes in the administration, but once the coalition government is implemented, the party committee is bound to no longer interfere in government administration, and can only manage the affairs of the party." ”

"Youlan, don't make it look like an exclusive interview," Old Man Mei frowned slightly, interrupting their conversation: "Mr. Zhou, I support the coalition government, but I think that pursuing the coalition government at this stage will inevitably cause political turmoil, is it beneficial to the war?" ”

Without waiting for Zhou EN to answer, Old Man Mei continued: "Now that the battle at the front is fierce, and the Northern Hubei Campaign has developed to a critical stage, at this time, once there is a political turmoil, it will inevitably affect the morale of the troops on the front line. That's why I voted against it in the Legion, and I think the issue of a coalition government can be discussed after the war. ”

Zhou EN frowned slightly, this is probably what Zhuang Jihua meant, he became more and more confused about Zhuang Jihua, the most important reason why he attaches importance to Old Man Mei is that he and Zhang Jingjiang are actually Zhuang Jihua's representatives in the political meeting, he knows that Mei Yuntian has a radio station, and he can directly contact Zhuang Jihua, and Old Man Mei's statement is likely to be Zhuang Jihua's attitude.

"OLD MAN, I DON'T APPROVE OF THIS," ZHOU ENLAI SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SAID, "THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A COALITION GOVERNMENT AND THE UNITY OF PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE IN THE COUNTRY ARE MORE CONDUCIVE TO THE WAR OF RESISTANCE." ”

"The current situation of the war is good, and it is better for the political situation to remain stable." Old man Mei did not relent, as soon as the coalition government was proposed, Zhuang Jihua sent a telegram, believing that the coalition government was a way to maintain the stability of the post-war situation, but at this stage, it was not the time. Now it is proposed that Chiang Kai-shek will definitely oppose it, which will inevitably cause political turmoil and be detrimental to the war.

Zhou Elai didn't insist, and then Mei Youlan interjected again: "Mr. Zhou, you can help me tell me, the victory of the Northern Hubei Battle is imminent, and the recovery of Wuhan is just around the corner, but grandpa has to leave me in Chongqing, you help me persuade him." ”

"What's the matter, you're so upset to accompany me?" Old Man Mei pretended to be angry.

"I think it's okay, Miss Youlan is a heroine, go to the front line and report the news of the front line to the people in the rear." Zhou EN smiled generously.

"Okay, for Mr. Zhou's sake, you can go there if you want." Old Man Mei sighed and patted her little hand lovingly.

"Thank you, grandpa," Mei Youlan cheered, jumped up and was about to run out, then stopped again, and said to Zhou En embarrassedly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou." ”

"Haha, you don't need to thank me, the old man is afraid that you will be sick at home." Zhou EN said: "Otherwise, I won't let you out." ”

"So I thank my grandfather first, by the way, Mr. Zhou, I want to go to the battlefield behind enemy lines, can you help?" Mei Youlan tilted her head and looked at Zhou EN.

"Welcome!" Zhou EN said: "In the past, Smedley and Fan Changjiang, they have all gone to the base behind the enemy to report on the report, if you really want to go, come to our office tomorrow, and I will arrange it for you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, I'll go to the newspaper office to make arrangements." Mei Youlan didn't care about the old man, turned around and ran out.

"This girl, it's been suffocating for the past two years." Old man Mei looked at her back, shook his head and sighed, in order to cut off her connection with Zhuang Jihua, the old man locked her up by his side, and except for a trip to Kunming, he was not allowed to go anywhere else, especially where Zhuang Jihua was.

Zhou EN secretly praised Mei Youlan for being smart, she knew the old man's thoughts, and simply proposed to go to the base behind the enemy, but as long as she left Chongqing, she went there, who could care, which also exempted the old man from worrying.

"There is a saying that doesn't mean that heart disease still has to be a heart medicine, old man, I have known the Cultural Revolution for almost 20 years, and he is a person who knows what he can and can't do."

Old Man Mei sighed and shook his head, the word love is not shallow, there are so many infatuated men and women in the world. But after thinking about it, maybe Zhou EN is right, the bell must be tied to the bell, maybe if you contact Zhuang Jihua again, this girl's mind will change.

Soon after Zhou En came and left, Zhang Jingjiang's wheelchair came in from outside the door, and the old man didn't get up, just said hello lightly, Zhang Jingjiang pushed the wheelchair in front of him, and then took out a telegram from his arms and handed it to him.

After seeing it, Old Man Mei was a little puzzled: "What does he mean by this?" ”

"The Cultural Revolution, I think too much and think too far." Zhang Jingjiang's words are not known to be praise or sarcasm.

The content of the telegram was about the coalition government, and Zhuang Jihua told them that victory in the Northern Hubei Campaign was imminent, and at worst they could annihilate the Kanda forces. With the end of the Northern Hubei Campaign, the recovery of Wuhan is in sight. After the liberation of Wuhan, it was faced with the problem of strategic direction, so it is very important to maintain political stability at this stage, if the political situation is turbulent, the strategic choice will inevitably be affected by the political situation, and the matter of the coalition government will last wait for another year.

"The political situation is still stable after the defeat, and after winning the battle, there are more things." Old Man Mei was very helpless.

"What's the way, some people just like to stir up trouble," Zhang Jingjiang was helpless, the current situation was similar to the Northern Expedition back then, they were all worried that victory on the battlefield would strengthen Chiang Kai-shek's prestige, so before the victory came, he began to prepare to cut power.

"It's been six years, and I can finally see hope." Old Man Mei let out a long breath and looked at the east with far-reaching eyes, which was the northwest of Hubei.
