At this time, Peng Pai somewhat understood that Chen Yannian's other purpose of transferring Peng Fentian to the Agricultural Lecture Institute was to let Peng Fentian tell him in detail about the new situation that had emerged in the new situation, and at the same time find out countermeasures.

"It's mixing sand into the peasant association." Peng Pai's thin face tightened. Peng Fentian sighed: "I know, but how to plug this loophole with what I want to do now." ”

The other party made a move, how do we respond? Peng Pai didn't have an idea for the time being, but he had an idea in a flash: "Divide the field, are you familiar with that Zhuang Jihua?" ”

Peng Fentian was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It's quite familiar, and I cooperated during the last Eastern Crusade." ”

"Well, then find an opportunity to invite him to come to the agricultural training center, and say that we will invite him to give a lecture, a military training class." Peng Pai wanted to meet this well-known Whampoa soldier.

"Okay." Peng Fentian didn't know what Peng Pai was thinking, but the habit he had developed for a long time made him unable to refuse Peng Pai's request.

While Peng Pai and Peng Fentian were discussing, Zhuang Jihua was also making a request to Chiang Kai-shek to enrich the Intelligence Section. The intelligence department is now back to the situation when it was first built, Zhuang Jihua led Wu Ziniu, Hua Chun, Zhao Hanjie and a group of old subordinates to guard this stall, Zhuang Jihua thought that the time of the second Eastern Expedition was shorter than the first, and after the Eastern Expedition was over, the Northern Expedition should be mentioned on the journey.

In war, intelligence comes first; But now the intelligence department is only deployed in Shanghai and Nanjing, and there is no one in Wuhan and Yanjing at all, Yanjing is better, and the Yanjing Party Department has information from time to time, but it is very fragmentary, and it can only be used as circumstantial evidence.

"Headmaster, give me someone, otherwise I won't do it, no, it's not that I won't do it, but I can't do it." Zhuang Jihua said to Chiang Kai-shek a little scoundrel.

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhuang Jihua with interest, after the appointment was announced, he was observing Zhuang Jihua's reaction, he had prepared a set of statements to appease Zhuang Jihua, but he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to seem to be indifferent at all, and he was content to be his section chief, but this made him have a trace of doubt in his heart, could it be that Zhuang Jihua really has no ambition, is he not complaining at all, or hiding it in his heart.

"Who do you want?" Chiang Kai-shek suppressed the doubts in his heart, and he planned to observe and test for a while.

"Zheng Jiemin and Hu Qiru, these two people have a talent for intelligence work;" Zhuang Jihua immediately reported his name, and the two of them left a deep impression on him during the whole training, especially Zheng Jiemin, who made accurate judgments, had a strong view of the overall situation, and was good at finding clues from clues, which were all necessary talents for special agent commanders.

"In addition, the Intelligence Section wants to recruit and train intelligence officers, and I ask the headmaster to allocate me a space, on the condition that it is secretive and large enough to be active; Finally, I asked for permission to recruit people, and the next stage of the intelligence department's work was to establish intelligence networks in Wuhan and Yanjing, but now I have no one. ”

"There's no problem," snubbing Zhuang Jihua is not to abolish Zhuang Jihua; Chiang Kai-shek had great trust in Zhuang Jihua's ability to handle affairs and strategic vision, and it was extremely far-sighted to think of establishing an intelligence network in Wuhan and Yanjing.

"How are you going to recruit an informant?" Chiang Kai-shek asked by the way.

"The principal doesn't ask me," Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly: "Isn't it recruiting the fourth batch of students?" I'm going to pick from these guys. And I want to have a first choice. ”

"Oh, why?" Chiang Kai-shek asked solemnly, the right of first choice means that Zhuang Jihua will only give the Whampoa Military Academy after the pick, which is a very serious matter for Chiang Kai-shek, who regards Whampoa as the root of his life.

"Intelligence officers must have a firm faith, and the young people who can apply for the Huangpu examination have a certain understanding of the revolution, which has a basis for faith, of course, I do not rule out speculation, so I will personally pick them; Secondly, there are not many intelligence officers, it is better to have a special background, especially in social relations, and the identity of the intelligence officer must be kept secret, if I go to the military academy and ask for people, then the military academy must explain why these people left. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, which was considered to be the reason for approving Zhuang Jihua, but he was still a little worried: "How many people do you plan to have?" ”

"The exact number has not been determined, but it will not be more than thirty, and maybe even less, mainly because we are completely self-made, we can provide too little support, and the intelligence officers also need logistical support." Zhuang Jihua felt Chiang Kai-shek's unease, and Zhuang Jihua did not inquire about why Chiang Kai-shek suddenly snubbed him, but common sense told him not to slander and suspicion.

"Okay, just do as you say." No matter how much Chiang Kai-shek worries, there are no more than thirty people, which has no impact on the overall situation, and Chiang Kai-shek also wants to see how Zhuang Jihua deals with these people in the end. However, Chiang Kai-shek's row of boards, Zheng Jiemin's fate has changed, in his previous life, he went to Sun Yat-sen University after graduation, and did not return to China until 28 years.

"What do you think of this crusade?" Zhuang Jihua was about to leave, Chiang Kai-shek seemed casual but suddenly asked, Zhuang Jihua couldn't figure out Chiang Kai-shek's intentions for a while, hesitated for a moment and replied:

"The students think that we can win, but how to fight, many of the students are not clear, and it is difficult to guess."

"Tell me what you think." Chiang Kai-shek said very casually that this was not what he wanted, and Zhuang Jihua's answer was tantamount to saying nothing.

"Military affairs, students dare not be casual." Zhuang Jihua is also not polite, if you want to be suspicious of me, I can also pick on the son, I can do my best in the affairs of the intelligence department, and I don't care about other things.

"Cultural Revolution, are you resentful," Chiang Kai-shek asked gently, Zhuang Jihua didn't make any mistakes, just because he was worried about suppressing him, Chiang Kai-shek was also a little reluctant in his heart: "I know, you put a lot of effort into the reorganization of the Sichuan army, and even let go of the assassin who assassinated you, but everyone else was promoted, but you didn't move your original position, and it is natural to have some resentment in your heart." ”

Zhuang Jihua was silent, Chiang Kai-shek thought he had acquiesced, so he continued to enlighten him: "Actually, I transferred you back to the Intelligence Department for two purposes, one is that the Intelligence Department needs you; The murder of the party representative proves that He Jinhan is not a material for intelligence, and now I cannot find a suitable person to be in charge of the intelligence department; Secondly, you have been in the limelight lately, and it is easy to dodge in the open, but it is difficult to defend against hidden arrows; You sent troops to Liutang Town without permission, and many people came to me to complain, and your support for the landlord also made [***] very dissatisfied; Inside and outside, I also love you. Don't worry, I'll give you a chance after a while. ”

Since he decided that Zhuang Jihua was a pragmatist, Chiang Kai-shek has not changed his opinion of Zhuang Jihua. From the bottom of his heart, he still agrees with Zhuang Jihua's practice of supporting the landlords, at least much more clever than Wang Bailing's kind of construction that he can't do anything other than instigating students to fight and make trouble and find trouble.

"I don't know how many troops will be dispatched, but students can guess that this crusade will be attacked in three directions." After Zhuang Jihua understood that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to appease himself, he knew that Chiang Kai-shek was wrong; But after thinking about it, I can't go too far, just pretend and take the steps to get off the stage.

"The left road is still Heyuan, the middle road is out of Boluo to attack Huizhou, the right road is out of Tamsui, and the sea and Lufeng are taken. The focus of the attack was on Huizhou and the right flank. Zhuang Jihua's words made Chiang Kai-shek secretly praise in his heart, this is exactly his plan, in fact, this is also the combat route of the First Eastern Crusade.

"However, I don't know how many troops the principal plans to use, if the troops are sufficient, the students have some suggestions," Zhuang Jihua said slowly: "It's excellent to divide the troops into three lanes, but the focus of the attack is recommended to make some modifications, focusing on the left and middle lanes." ”

"Why?" Chiang Kai-shek was interested.

"Because the enemy will see it this way, we used this trick in the first crusade, and the enemy already knows about it, so we might as well make a slight change to make them think that they are still acting according to the original plan. However, the disadvantage of this plan is that it is necessary to attack Huizhou, which is high and deep, has a strong defense, and is surrounded by water on three sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack; If I am Chen Jiongming, I will use Huizhou to attract the main force of our army, part of the troops in Haifeng to block the right side of our army, and the main force to attack the left side of our army out of Heyuan, after breaking through the left side of our army, the main force out of Boluo, from the rear to attack the troops under the city of Huizhou, under the internal and external attack, the situation of the main force of our army will be very dangerous. And even if you can't achieve your goal, you can retreat to Jiangxi or Fujian. ”

When Zhuang Jihua said the countermeasure, Chiang Kai-shek's forehead and feet broke out in fine sweat, and there were only 6,000 people on the left side of the plan he discussed with Luo Jia Juefu, and it was the very weak Cheng Qian's attack army, Jiangxi army, Henan army and other unintegrated armies.

"And what about your opinion?" Chiang Kai-shek asked involuntarily.

"The students don't think it's as good as doing the job. After the right road Ke Tamsui, it is not directly inserted into Haifeng, but a north to Huizhou, and the main force makes a posture of attacking Haifeng to attract the enemy. However, the main force went out of Wuhua and Xingning, went straight to Chaoshan, forced the enemy to fight a decisive battle, and completely solved Chen Jiongming in a roundabout way. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was silent after hearing this, the original plan focused on Huizhou, Chaoshan and other cities, but the focus of this plan was to annihilate the enemy. Chiang Kai-shek, of course, knew that if the enemy did not find out, he would be surrounded, and if he did, he would inevitably fight a decisive battle, so that he could achieve the effect of finishing his work in one battle. In any case, the plan is amazingly powerful.

On October 14, the National Political Axe established the Military Command Department, appointed Xiong Kewu as the Minister of Military Orders, and then appointed Luo Fengxiang, the former brigade commander of Yang Kunru's department, as the Dongjiang propaganda envoy.

Chiang Kai-shek thought about it again and again and took out Zhuang Jihua's plan to discuss with his adviser Luo Jia Juefu, but he did not expect Luo Jia Juefu to resolutely oppose it, thinking that it was a complete risk.
