"Come on," Chiang Kai-shek said in a consultative tone, slowing down his tone as much as possible, "There are many opinions in the military on campus about your party, especially the fact that your party does not act publicly, and this has caused mutual distrust. ”

Zhou Enlai was silent for a while, Chiang Kai-shek once promised the students to severely punish Li Gongxia, judging from today's situation, he did not pursue it, but just calmed the matter, those two resolutions have a great conscious surname, no binding force, it is conceivable that the effect is not great, but what does he mean now?

Zhou Enlai asked seriously and cautiously: "What does the principal mean ......." ”

"If this doesn't work, you give me the list of members of your party in the school, and their activities will become public in the future, and there will be no more gossip." Chiang Kai-shek was very calm on the outside but very nervous on the inside, he didn't know whether Zhou Enlai would make friends, and he didn't know what the top leaders of the Communist Party would think of this move.

Zhou came to calm down, since Chiang Kai-shek made a request, it was impossible to agree, the list of party members is highly confidential to the party, and it is impossible to hand it over; The question is why did Chiang Kai-shek make this request? He vetoed this factor simply because of the protests of the students in the military on campus, because Chiang Kai-shek's prestige among the students was very high, and the students who participated in the Li Gongxia incident were also a minority, and besides, these students had serious rightist tendencies, and even if they left, it would be beneficial to the revolution.

"Principal, this is a very serious issue, I have no authority to decide, I must report to the Guangdong District Party Committee, and even obtain the consent of the central government." Zhou En first used a delaying tactic, of course, this is true and false.

Chiang Kai-shek breathed a sigh of relief, he also knew that it was difficult: "It's okay like this, it's okay like this." I have no other intentions, but there is a lot of discussion now, our party comrades have opinions on your party's secret activities, and the students of the two sessions in the school have fierce quarrels, if your party can take a step, in order to show its sincerity in safeguarding the cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party. ”

The corner of Zhou Enlai's eyes twitched slightly: "Our party wholeheartedly supports the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and since the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the members of our party have done their best to develop the Kuomintang organization, so that it has delayed the development of our party itself. ”

"Yes, yes, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was set by the prime minister, and I, Jiang someone, supported it, supported your party, and supported Soviet Russia, but my party is complicated, and some old comrades still accuse your party of not doing things themselves, which I oppose, but I can't help but see that these old comrades have made meritorious contributions to the revolution before, and some of them are still founding party members, and they have a great influence in the party, and uniting them together is also helpful to the revolution, at least it can reduce the resistance of the revolution, so your party has been wronged, which is very helpful to the unity of our party, and I guarantee with my personality, I will never reveal the list you gave me to a third person. ”

Chiang Kai-shek is unprecedented, except for making speeches, he has always spoken simply and decisively, rarely dragging mud and water, and has a very military style.

Zhou Enlai was a little angry, you Kuomintang is not united but you want us to make sacrifices, not to mention the fact that those rightists are aiming at [***], and [***] make sacrifices but fulfill the reputation of [***].

But Zhou Enlai also knew that Chiang Kai-shek was a very face-saving person, and if he refused in person, he might not say it now, but his future work would be affected.

"Okay, I'll report to the district committee." But his expression showed that it was difficult for Chiang Kai-shek to do what he wanted.

Zhou Enlai thought that the matter had come to an end and would wait for the central government to reply before dealing with it, but he did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek would talk to him about this issue again the next day.

"Now that the struggle between the two sessions is becoming more and more intense, there is already a possibility that it will lead to a split in Huangpu, and the fundamental reason for this is still the difference in doctrine between the two parties, and I absolutely will not allow Huangpu to split."

Zhou Enlai listened to Chiang Kai-shek's words seriously, he felt very uneasy and in great danger, and sure enough, Chiang Kai-shek proposed his solution.

"I think the [***] members can quit [***], or," Chiang Kai-shek said at this point, his tone became low and slow: "or quit the military academy, the First Army and the Kuomintang, I don't want to see that happen." ”

Zhou Enlai's face changed drastically, and he protested in a deep voice: "The Whampoa Military Academy was jointly founded by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, not the Kuomintang. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was stunned, he had always regarded the military academy as the property of the Kuomintang, but he did not expect that Zhou Enlai would think that Whampoa was shared by the two parties, and he said with some anger: "Whampoa was established under the personal care of the premier, and it should be owned by the Kuomintang." ”

"[***] Withdrawing from the Kuomintang is the proposition of the Xishan Conference faction." Zhou Enlai did not continue to debate with Chiang Kai-shek on the ownership of the Whampoa Military Academy, because although Whampoa was co-founded by the two parties, it was dominated by the Kuomintang.

"The Xishan Conference faction? I am against them, my attitude towards them is well known, I just don't want Whampoa to split, and I don't ask [***] to withdraw from the Kuomintang, in fact, even if you form another army. Chiang Kai-shek strongly argued that when the Xishan Conference faction was established, Chiang Kai-shek was very angry, and he strictly ordered the Sun Society in Guangzhou not to have contact with the Xishan Conference faction. As he spoke, he took out a report from the drawer and handed it to Zhou Enlai. Zhou Enlai took it and saw that it was Wang Bailing's report on the activities of the two sessions on campus sent by Wang Bailing from Huangpu, which specifically mentioned Li Zhilong, which made Zhou Enlai very surprised.

"Look at it, some party members of your party are too deceitful, they actually criticize the prime minister and criticize the sangming cooking righteousness in the Whampoa Military Academy, there was a rule at the beginning of the establishment of the military academy that the school is not allowed to doubt the prime minister, and it is not allowed to doubt the sangming cooking righteousness, but why do they dare to do this? Isn't Zhilong Li a member of your party? Chiang Kai-shek was furious, and his disappointment with Lee Zhilong grew.

Zhou Enlai became more and more calm, he felt that there was a conspiracy in this, he did not doubt that someone had said such a thing, but under what circumstances did he say it.

"This is the words of the family of Education Minister Wang, who has always had prejudices against our party, and his words cannot be trusted."

"He's the head of education, I don't believe who he believes?" Chiang Kai-shek sharply retorted, Wang Bailing's report was somewhat exaggerated, but some basic facts Chiang Kai-shek believed were true, the development of the revolutionary situation has made the prestige of Soviet Russia in Guangdong higher and higher, and the prestige of [***] among the youth is also getting higher and higher, and more and more young members of the Kuomintang at the grassroots level are joining [***], and some Kuomintang party departments hang up signboards that are Kuomintang, and all the activities in them are [***] members.

"Matters should be investigated before they can be dealt with, and principals should not make decisions based on one-sided words." Zhou Enlai pondered as he spoke: "And if the principal makes this decision, other places will follow suit, which may lead to a split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, I wonder if the principal has thought about it?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek was silent, yesterday he thought about it repeatedly, of course he knew that the consequences were serious, but he couldn't find any other way, Zhou Enlai saw this, knowing that Chiang Kai-shek had not yet made up his mind, and there was still room for redemption.

"The dispute between the two sessions can be mediated, and it is very good to seek common ground while reserving differences originally proposed by the Cultural Revolution.

Chiang Kai-shek heard it clearly, and Zhou Enlai was accusing him of not leveling a bowl of water: "You mean that I hit the Youth Army Association, but I also hit Sun Xue, and I will hit whoever is at fault." ”

"The mistakes of a small number of people and individual people should not be borne by our party as a whole." Zhou Enlai immediately interfaced.

"Okay, you go and deal with it." In the end, Chiang Kai-shek still did not adhere to the original position, and the crime of undermining the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was too great.

Zhou Enlai walked out of Chiang Kai-shek's office with a heavy heart, his heart full of uneasiness, and he felt great danger.

Zhuang Jihua came out of the small hall of the garrison headquarters, today's garrison headquarters elected two representatives, in his opinion, it is a bit like a farce, one vote per person, each vote can be written on up to three names, as long as it is a member of the Kuomintang, the small conference room is crowded, the air is very poor, Zhuang Jihua as a colonel voting order is in front, so after the vote, he hurried to the courtyard to breathe fresh air, just arrived in the courtyard to see a familiar figure, coming in from the outside.

"Director Deng!" Deng Yanda's sudden appearance made Zhuang Jihua very happy, and he hurried to catch up.

Deng Yanda returned from Europe through Soviet Russia to participate in the Second National Congress, and before he came back, he did not make a noise, and quietly returned to Guangzhou by himself. When it left Guangzhou, Huangpu was just a seed, and now it has grown into a sapling.

"Cultural Revolution!" Although Deng Yanda did not wear a military uniform, his every move was still a soldier's demeanor, he looked Zhuang Jihua up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, yes, he will be a colonel in less than a year, and in another two years, I am afraid he will be the youngest general in China." ”

Hearing Deng Yanda's praise, Zhuang Jihua was a little embarrassed: "What am I, Li Zhilong is stronger than me, he is already a general." ”

"Haha," looking at Zhuang Jihua's embarrassing appearance, Deng Yanda couldn't help laughing: "It's all good, it's all good, Wushan is like this?" ”

"He's done a good job, he's a lieutenant colonel now, but unfortunately you'll have to come back two days earlier to see him. But it seems to be in Guangzhou. Jiang Xianyun was wounded in the Battle of Huizhou, and after recovering from his injuries, he went to Shantou, and Zhuang Jihua sent him away only the day before yesterday.

"Director, you won't leave when you come back this time, right?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

"Don't go," seeing Zhuang Jihua's appearance, Deng Yanda also regretted a little in his heart, he ran away in a bad mood, but he missed the Eastern Expedition, and now he doesn't want to miss the Northern Expedition again: "The students went to the front line to fight, and honestly hid on the sidelines to watch the excitement, and I also blushed." ”

"With the guidance of the teacher, of course, it is better to fight."

Deng Yanda looked at Zhuang Jihua: "Yes, I learned to make sycophants." ”

Zhuang Jihua said: "How can the teacher be a cow, and if you want to shoot it, you will also shoot it." ”

Deng Yanda laughed when he heard this: "Okay, this is the Zhuang Cultural Revolution." ”

The two chatted for a few words, and at this time, the first phase of the students who came out after the vote also came forward to say hello when they saw Deng Yanda, Deng Yanda answered one by one with a smile, and the second phase of the students were not familiar with Deng Yanda, Zhuang Jihua introduced them one by one, until Zhang Zhizhong came out and took Deng Yanda away.
