Chen Yannian's words were like dropping a bomb at a calm level, and the participants in the meeting were stunned for a moment, and then excited, and there was nothing more attractive than a direct attack on imperialism. There was a sudden discussion in the room, Chen Yannian did not stop it, but let everyone talk freely, and after the excitement, everyone felt the difficulty.

"Secretary Chen, what level of scale should the strike reach?" Yang Yin asked first.

"It's better to have workers from all over Hong Kong participate." Deng Zhongxia said that when everyone was discussing just now, he did not participate, but exchanged glances with Chen Yannian, obviously Chen Yannian had discussed with him in advance.

Deng Zhongxia's words made everyone gasp, and the participation of all Hong Kong workers will undoubtedly reach hundreds of thousands, which has never been seen in the history of Hong Kong, even in the history of the world labor movement.

The room fell silent for a while, and Chen Yannian smiled when he saw this: "What's wrong?" Just say what you think? Today's meeting is to let everyone brainstorm and boldly put forward their opinions if they have them. ”

After the meeting, Feng Jupo said: "Secretary Chen, I am in favor of launching a strike in Hong Kong, but according to past experience, the workers who participated in the strike have to return to the mainland. And how much can we control in Hong Kong's trade unions? Will other unions participate? These issues must be clarified before they are launched. ”

"Yes, this is not a problem of tens of thousands of people, among them there are likely to be their families, the number is likely to be as high as three or four hundred thousand, how much does it cost to eat and dress so many people?" Yang Yin also felt that this problem was very tricky. At this time, the aid of Soviet Russia was mainly aimed at the Guangdong political axe, that is, the Kuomintang, and the money was not very much, only a few million in total before and after, and the funds for China [***] were not worth mentioning at all.

Chen Yannian nodded, he also had a headache for this problem, he had talked about this issue when he discussed launching a strike in Hong Kong with Deng Zhongxia, and he could not find a solution at that time.

"This is a very important issue, let's not talk about this issue for now, what other comrades have questions?" Chen Yannian decided to put it aside for a while, and then solve the other problems first: "Comrade Huang Mingcheng, what do you think?" ”

Huang Mingcheng's performance during the Eastern Crusade attracted the attention of the comrades of the district party committee, especially the attention of Comrade Zhou Enlai, who served as secretary of the military commission, and Zhou Enlai spoke highly of Huang Mingcheng's work in Zhangmutou, and the Guangdong District Party Committee found in the subsequent investigation that even under the rule of Chen Jiongming, the labor movement in Zhangmutou developed very rapidly, 90% of the workers joined the trade union, and the party's prestige among the workers was very highIt is with this foundation that Huang Mingcheng was able to organize a group of workers to participate in the battle of Zhangmutou. The participation of the Workers' Workers in the war was highly praised by the Eastern Crusade Command after the war, which in turn influenced the attitude of Chiang Kai-shek and Xu Chongzhi towards the development of the workers' and peasants' movement in the reconquistad areas to a certain extent. Chen Yannian admired Huang Mingcheng very much, and he strongly advocated that Huang Mingcheng be transferred to work in the Guangdong District Party Committee, and then sent him to assist Deng Zhongxia in the work of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, and planned to send him to the Bac Giang area to take charge of the peasant movement there in the near future.

Chen Yannian asked Huang Mingcheng to speak by name, but Huang Mingcheng had a problem. From the bottom of his heart, Wong is in favor of a strike in Hong Kong, and he does not think that the question of funding is important, but whether such a large-scale strike can be launched.

"Secretary Chen, I think the funding can be solved, and the key is to launch a strike, but I don't know about the situation of the trade unions in Hong Kong, and how many members of our party are among the workers? How many unions can be controlled? I don't know any of that. ”

Chen Yannian felt that he was negligent at this time, in fact, not only Huang Mingcheng did not know about the situation of the Hong Kong trade union, except for Su Zhaozheng of the Hong Kong Seamen's Union, the other people who knew the Hong Kong trade union the most were probably Deng Zhongxia, but Deng Zhongxia only learned a little about it at the meeting some time ago, and the real situation is probably not very detailed.

"I was negligent, so let's do it, Comrade Su Zhaozheng, you can introduce the situation of the Hong Kong trade unions to the comrades."

Su Zhaozheng is a new party member, the party has not been in the party for half a year, but he has deep qualifications, participated in the League, and later joined the Kuomintang, led the Hong Kong seamen's strike, and is the head of the Hong Kong seamen's union. He had a dark face and spoke forcefully.

"Okay, let me brief you on the situation of the trade unions in Hong Kong. There are many trade unions in Hong Kong, with a total of more than 100 trade unions, mainly trade unions, which are divided into three major factions; The largest is the trade union federation, which includes more than 70 trade unions, most of which belong to the handicraft industry, and the seafarers' union is a major industrial trade union; followed by the Chinese Trade Union faction, which included 30 trade unions, also handicraft industries, and the most important was the tram trade union; There are about 20 or so trade unions left, and they do not form factions, but they are mostly large trade unions, such as machinery, loading and falling goods, coal, foreign affairs, etc. ”

"The number of party members among the workers in Hong Kong is small, less than 10, most of them are dock workers, and they have no leadership except for the seamen's union; In fact, even if it is a seamen's union, his chairman is not a member of our party, but the influence of our party is relatively strong. ”

After Su Zhaozheng's introduction, the original optimistic mood completely disappeared, and the strikes in the interior in the past two years have been launched in areas where the party's strength is relatively strong, and everyone feels completely uncertain about whether this lack of party organization foundation can encourage workers to strike.

Chen Yannian saw that everyone's mood was a little low, so he asked Su Zhaozheng: "Do you think you can organize a strike in Hong Kong?" ”

"Absolutely." Su Zhaozheng did not hesitate to say loudly: "When the seafarers went on strike, we organized a general alliance strike, and as many as 100,000 workers participated in the strike. After the victory of the seamen's strike, the workers realized that the living conditions of the workers could only be improved by uniting, and that although our party was small in number, the prestige of our party was very high, especially the wave of opposition against imperialism that is now sweeping the whole country, which is conducive to our work. I am confident that the strike will be launched. ”

"Well said, comrades, we can't just look at the difficulties and ignore the current political climate." Deng Zhongxia stood up excitedly and said: "Since the May Day Incident, the surging protests in various places show that the revolution is coming, we must seize the opportunity, we cannot look at the Hong Kong general strike in isolation, we should regard it as a part of the national anti-imperialist movement, our party should bravely stand up and lead this revolution, the Hong Kong general strike can strengthen the leading position of our party." ”

Deng Zhongxia excitedly waved his hand downward: "Comrades, I know that our party is very weak in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong workers have a tradition of courageous struggle, and I believe that the general strike can be launched, and it will definitely win in the end." ”

"Yes, we can ask the provincial government to provide part of the funding, and we can also organize a support part for mainland workers, and we will try to solve part of it ourselves." Huang Mingcheng was infected and also stood up and said.

Huang Mingcheng's proposal made Chen Yannian's eyes shine, and Shi Bu also said that some workers could be organized to work in the Guangzhou factory, and Yang Yin proposed to set up a general strike headquarters in Guangzhou to coordinate the actions of the various trade unions.

After resolving several major issues, the meeting quickly moved to negotiations on the details.

The sound of Shao Lizi entering the house interrupted Zhuang Jihua's "fugue", Shao Lizi is the newly appointed secretary general of the military academy, and Zhuang Jihua is not very familiar with it, after entering the door, he saw Zhuang Jihua standing there with his back to Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek was not angry, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Zhuang Jihua nodded to Shao Lizi as a greeting, and then turned to Chiang Kai-shek and said, "Principal, I have roughly figured it out." ”

"Okay, give me a report as soon as possible." Chiang Kai-shek paused and then said, "You go to the Political Department first, there is a copy of your appointment there." ”

Zhuang Jihua was a little surprised, newly appointed, why don't you want me to be an adjutant, let me do something?

With a stomach full of questions, Zhuang Jihua came to the Political Department, and before he entered the door, he heard a noise inside, and when he pushed the door, there were a lot of people, Zeng Guangqing, Hu Zongnan, Jiang Xianyun, Chen Geng, Huang Crab, Li Mo'an and others were all there, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Hu Zongnan.

When these people saw Zhuang Jihua coming in, they were all a little surprised, Chen Geng jumped over first, grabbed his hand and said, "Cultural Revolution, hard work, come in and sit." As he spoke, he pulled Zhuang Jihua into the office, then pressed it on the chair, and then said to everyone with a smile: "Students, we first congratulate Zhuang on his promotion; He deliberately paused, and then said in a long accent: "Become the first big spy in this school." ”

As soon as Chen Geng's words fell, Zhuang Jihua almost jumped up, big spy? The intelligence work is presided over by himself, how does Chen Geng know. Boom, Jiang Xianyun, Hu Zongnan and others immediately burst into laughter. There seems to be no malice, Zhuang Jihua looked at them a little inexplicably. There was a ghost in his heart, and his face was a little angry: "Chen Geng, what do you say?" I'm a big spy, and I think you're a big spy. The thief eyebrows and rat-eyed ones don't need makeup, and they are complete villains. ”

Chen Geng laughed and said: "A person like me who is in the wind in Yushu, when I walk on the street, others will know that this person is knowledgeable, why?" is clear-eyed and polite, even if he is a spy, he is definitely a cultural spy, not like the Cultural Revolution, he looks honest, but he is actually full of bad water. ”

Zhuang Jihua couldn't hang it anymore, how could Chen Geng's words come to his secret everywhere today, Jiang Xianyun said to Zhuang Jihua with a smile: "You came to find Director Zhou?" Zhuang Jihua nodded, Jiang Xianyun said with a smile: "Director Zhou is on the other side, are you looking for Director Zhou to ask for someone?" ”

Zhuang Jihua was a little confused, he wanted someone, who did he want? Seeing that Zhuang Jihua's appearance didn't look like pretending, Jiang Xianyun asked, "You still don't know?" ”

"Know what?"

"You have been appointed Chief of the Intelligence Section of the Headquarters and are responsible for the formation of the Intelligence Section."

Zhuang Jihua suddenly realized, and then he didn't understand, what did Chiang Kai-shek mean by this? Wasn't it good to have an intelligence department at the beginning? Why do you need to show the signboard? I'm going to be in trouble with my own activities.

Zhuang Jihua stabilized his emotions, looked at Chen Geng, and said seriously: "Well, I want to make a report and transfer Chen Geng to the Intelligence Section." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the door with a twist, pinched his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this fairy aunt will invite you to a great god." ”

After speaking, Zhuang Jihua opened the door and left quickly, quiet for a moment, and then there was a burst of laughter.
