Zhuang Jihua's kind words eased the mood of most of the delegates, but there were still a few deputies who maintained a high degree of vigilance, including the two sitting next to him, when Zhuang Jihua asked about their requirements, the representative of the National Salvation Association closest to Zhuang Jihua stood up suddenly, took out a manuscript and read:

Since 918, the political axe has blindly backed down and compromised on the three eastern provinces, leaving 30 million compatriots into slaves; 128 Songhu armistice, and the loss of Shanghai's sovereignty, today said that Ben brazenly attacked Rehe, [***] a thousand miles, Rehe fell again, said that the army iron hooves straight to the Great Wall. Although my China is weak, it has not yet reached the land where people are swords and I am fish and meat, why have we been defeated again and again, and the sovereign territory has been reduced to this! Today's situation is due to the fact that the political axe implements the wrong national policy of wanting to seize the outside world and first the internal security, and uses the main force of the central government to suppress the internal force; Therefore, if you want to fight back and regain the lost territory, you must first change the national policy and unite the people of the whole country to resolutely resist aggression. On behalf of all walks of life in Yucheng, we demanded that the political axe immediately send troops to the north, declare war on Yue, counterattack the invasion of Yueben, and recover Rehe and the three eastern provinces. Sweep away a hundred years of humiliation. …………。 ”

After reading it, he handed the manuscript to Zhuang Jihua and said: "Please Vice Mayor Zhuang send this manuscript directly to the Nanjing National Political Axe on our behalf." ”

Zhuang Jihua took the manuscript and read it carefully, he thought about it silently, and more than forty eyes in the room fell on him nervously.

"I understand the intentions of the classmates, to be honest, I'm very happy," Zhuang Jihua looked up at everyone and said slowly: "I'm really very happy, at the beginning of the parade, someone said to the political axe that they would suppress it, but Mayor He and I disagreed, why?" Because you are acting out of patriotism, patriotism, and innocence! ”

Zhuang Jihua's words encouraged the delegates, and they exchanged heads and ears, and there was a buzz in the conference room.

"Yes, patriotism is not guilty."

"Yes, declare war, we will all go to join the army!"

"I said how different this time is."

……。

Zhuang Jihua coughed lightly twice, and then said, "Please be quiet." After everyone slowly quieted down, Zhuang Jihua continued: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. Sun Tzu's Art of War tells us at the outset that when it comes to war, we must be cautious and think about it repeatedly. So I would like to ask the students how to resist this war of resistance. ”

"Declare war on Yue immediately!" A student in a long shirt stood up and said loudly.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, did not answer, but looked at the two people beside him, after they exchanged glances, the blue tunic stood up and replied: "Declare war on Yueben, and then mobilize heavy troops to go north to resist." ”

"Mobilize heavy troops to go north?" Zhuang Jihua frowned and asked, "That's all?" Have you ever thought about it, the equipment of the army is a hundred times stronger than ours, how much is this heavy army? What if the army also increases its troops? Do you want Nanjing? ”

"If the enemy increases the number of troops, we will increase the number of troops, and we have 450 million compatriots, how many people are there in the first place? Sixty million, or seventy million, far worse than us. A round-faced female classmate on the other side said loudly, and her round two parties revealed two red clouds......

"Yes, we are not afraid of sacrifice, as long as we can drive the enemy out of our territory." A man with glasses standing behind shouted with some anger.

"Not being afraid of sacrifice is enough for soldiers, enough for low-level officers, but not enough for commanders, especially leaders who control the destiny of a country." Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said.

As soon as these words came out, the conference room suddenly became a little nervous, and the representatives of the Major Salvation Association exchanged glances and understood each other, at which time another representative in a dark blue robe stood up and asked loudly: "In this case, can we only sit back and wait for our own aggression step by step?" ”

"Deputy Mayor Zhuang, it turns out that you also say one thing and do another, and use some good words to coax us." The man with the eyes said sternly: "I think you are afraid of death, hiding in Yucheng, not daring to go to the front line, now the real Chinese [***] people are fighting bloody battles with the invaders on the Great Wall, Vice Mayor Zhuang, you are talking here about what is not afraid of sacrifice is not enough, say that the enemy is strong, are you not ashamed?" Aren't you ashamed? ”

Zhuang Jihua was stunned for a moment, he looked at the man with glasses attentively, and was silent for a while before he sighed: "I also hope to be like you, just don't be afraid of sacrifice, it's so simple, happy," he stood up and said loudly: "The big man fights the sword world, doesn't ask about grievances, just wants to be happy!" How fast! Who doesn't want that! Who doesn't want that! I also want! ”

Zhuang Jihua's momentum was compelling, and at this moment, the iron-blooded qi that had fought out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain came back again, and his sharp eyes looked around, and then he said heavily:

"But no, because it's a crime against the country! Crimes against the nation! Crime against the people! ”

After committing three crimes in a row, everyone was shocked, and Zhuang Jihua said in a heavy tone: "Why do you say it's a crime?" Sun Tzu has already said in the Art of War, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival; As soon as the war begins, it is necessary to try to win, and among the elements of victory, not being afraid of sacrifice is only a small element, necessary, but not absolute. And as far as I know, this soldier is not afraid of death. ”

"Hmph, Vice Mayor Zhuang is raising the prestige of others and destroying his own prestige," the man with glasses was very unconvinced, and his face was flushed with disdain: "I heard that Vice Mayor Zhuang once commanded the Niu Xing War, broke through the corpse mountain and sea of blood, and was known as the proud hero of Huangpu, but now I saw that he was a cowardly and cowardly, but a twenty-year-old hero and a thirty-year-old coward!" ”

Zhuang Jihua's experience was reported in the Yucheng press at the beginning of his tenure, and the people present already knew about it, but they didn't expect the glasses man to make such a strong accusation, which could even be attributed to abuse, which made everyone pinch a cold sweat for him.

"Haha, what a twenty-year-old hero, a thirty-year-old coward," Zhuang Jihua laughed, his expression was extremely happy, which made his momentum even more magnificent: "I don't dare to be a hero, heroes are those brothers who fell on the battlefield!" I'm just doing my duty as a soldier. ”

"Classmates," Zhuang Jihua saw that he had gradually grasped the situation, so he changed his tone and said: "Just now this classmate said that I increased the prestige of others and destroyed my own ambition; This is not wrong, I am a soldier, the soldier's real surname is to speak according to the facts, and the slightest falsehood is not allowed, in other industries, the most false is to lose some money and time; Soldiers tell lies, then they have to make up for human lives, take the country and the nation to make up for it, so soldiers are not allowed to tell lies, even if the facts are unbearable, the boss no longer wants to listen, but also must tell the truth, throughout the ages, on the contrary, it will inevitably ruin the country! ”

Zhuang Jihua ignored the reaction of the deputies, took a deep breath and said: "This army is well-equipped, the officers are all graduates of military academies and have good tactical literacy, and the soldiers have received strict training, and it is the second-rate army in the world today. Why are they second-rate? Because their tactical thinking and strategic thinking are second-rate. ”

"And which country is the first-class?" Zhuang Jihua's assertion has made many people curious, and it is the first time they have heard such an assertion.

"The German [***] team, there is ......, no, the German [***] team is first-class, the others are second-rate armies, the first-class second-rate judgment is based on the military revolution that is currently taking place, some new military equipment appeared in the last war, but there is no corresponding tactical thinking, that is, the tactical idea of large-scale and rapid armored operations, Britain, France and the Soviet Union are still obsessed with the experience of the last world war, especially France, thinking that building a Maginot Line can be guaranteed for a hundred years, But they are ostriches in the storm; Only Germany, who are actively studying the tactical changes brought about by modern military technology and trying to turn them into combat effectiveness, will lead to a revolution in military affairs, the power of which we will soon see. As for the army, I am embarrassed to say that he is the worst in the armies of these countries, and his tactics are still based on the experience of the Russo-Russian war, at most he has learned a little bit of the experience of the last war, which is not at all insignificant. ”

Zhuang Jihua took a teacup and took a sip of water, but his words once again aroused the curiosity of the delegates, who had never heard of such words. In their consciousness, Europe and the United States are said to be world powers, and their armies are powerful, but in the mouth of this deputy mayor Zhuang, these armies have great shortcomings, and the book is particularly poor.

"But such a poor army is still much stronger than us, and it is very painful that we see his weakness and cannot deal it with a fatal blow."

"Vice Mayor Zhuang, I don't understand what you said." The round-faced girl asked confusedly, not noticing the faux pas of such an interjection.

"To use a very apt analogy, against a big dog, the powerful man can hit him in the head and kill him; the ingenious one goes around behind it with a knife and stabs him; But what if it's a helpless child? He knew that he could kill him with a big stick, and he knew that he could assassinate him with a dagger, but he could not hold a stick or a knife, and this was his sorrow. Zhuang Jihua said in a low tone.

"It is said that it is a vicious dog, but China is not a child." The Zhongshan suit of the major student union stood up angrily: "Vice Mayor Zhuang is a false word and a clever prevarication. Today, China is raising millions of troops, why is it powerless to pretend that at a time when Rehe is facing the fall, the main force is still suppressing bandits in Jiangxi, isn't it a clear proof? ”

"This is exactly what I'm going to say next," Zhuang Jihua didn't move, just looked at him with interest: "This classmate just said that the heavy troops will go north, but I want to ask everyone, if the heavy troops go north, what will happen to the communists in Jiangxi?" What should the army do when it attacks Jiangnan? Instead of talking about the army, let's talk about the Red Army, the Communist Party is now putting forward the proposition of opposing Chiang, that is to say, first opposing Chiang and then resisting, which is actually the same as the chairman's proposition. Last year, Mr. Sun Ke and Mr. Chen Mingshu, the chairmen of the NPC National Committee, proposed national reconciliation, hoping to reach a rapprochement with the Communist Party and the Red Army, but what was the result? They ignored it, and if they got closer, in this Rehe War of Resistance, the central government transferred some troops from the Hubei-Henan-Anhui anti-bandit troops to the north, and some troops from the Jiangxi anti-bandit troops to the front-line defense in Nanjing. When two people fight, only one person stops is not enough, both of them must stop. ”

"It seems that Vice Mayor Zhuang is also a party-state cadre with [***] as his own responsibility." The tunic said coldly and sarcastically.

Zhuang Jihua said calmly and frankly: "You are wrong again, I advocate the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. I have many friends in [***], such as Jiang Xianyun, Xu Xiangqian, Chen Geng, and Xu Jishen, the leaders of the Red Army in northern Sichuan; Zuo Quan and He Shengyang in the Jiangxi Red Army, Cao Yuan who died in Wuchang, Peng Fentian who died in the rebellion within the Communist Party, and so on, I have never shied away from saying this, even as the chairman of the committee. And to be honest, I would also say that they are all people of outstanding moral character and talent, including the chairman of the committee, who also admits this; The difference between us is only a difference in political beliefs, nothing else. I applied to Whampoa at the time of the honeymoon period of bipartisan cooperation, so I went through the main process from cooperation to division, and in my experience, I think both parties are at fault, they make mistakes first, and we make mistakes later. But the split has already been forged, and now it will take time for the two parties to put aside their old grievances and re-cooperate with each other, and I sincerely hope that this process will be speeded up. ”

Mao suit did not expect that Zhuang Jihua would be so "frank" to admit all kinds of contacts with the Communist Party, and he never attacked him with evil words, and actually admitted that [***] people are all people with outstanding moral and talented character.

"[***] are all talented people? Is this true? The round-faced girl asked with a curious wink.

"There are righteous men and gentlemen, as well as villains in any social group," Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "This is also the case within the Communist Party, in Guangzhou, during the Northern Expedition, I have encountered them." You're still young, you're still on campus, you haven't really stepped into society yet, society is complex, people, it's complicated, so whether you make friends or join an organization, it depends not only on what they say, but also on what they do, and the latter is more important. Lies are generally dressed in beauty. ”

"I still can't understand why so many troops in the country can't stop the invaders?" The man with the eyes looked angry.

"As I said just now, our army is only a second-rate army, but our army is even weaker," Zhuang Jihua said: "The weakness of the army is first manifested in the disunity of the country. But we don't have to slap the swollen face and become fat, the national political axe has not unified the whole country, all the places in the country combined, the political axe can only control 1/3, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Liangguang, Shanxi, Shandong, Northwest, and Hebei, the central government can't control the taxes and political power in these places, the local powerful factions do their own thing, the benefits are their own, and the bad things are notorious to the central government; Take the great drought in the northwest in the 18th year of the Republic of China, the central government allocated money for disaster relief, but the local warlords withheld the money to buy weapons, and then fought with the central government in the Central Plains War in the 19th year of the Republic of China. ”

Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but think of Soong Ziwen's angry attitude when he mentioned this matter, when he was the finance minister and vice president of the Executive Yuan, and the reproach was second only to Chiang Kai-shek. Zhuang Jihua still doesn't know something, he donated money to Chiang Kai-shek twice, which virtually resolved the contradiction between Song Ziwen and Chiang Kai-shek, spared a slap in the face of the former, and made him stay in office until now, delaying Kong Xiangxi's time to come to power.

"Let's just talk about the Rehe War of Resistance, as far as I know, the chairman of the committee has long known that Tang Yupho's troops are not capable of a battle, but Rehe is under the management of Zhang Xueliang in North China, and Tang Yupho is Zhang Zuolin's brother, a veteran in the Northeast Army, without Zhang Xueliang's consent, the chairman of the committee will not be exempted from his position; Similarly, the chairman of the committee ordered Zhang Xueliang to transfer the main force of the Northeast Army to Rehe, but until the outbreak of war, the main force of the Northeast Army was still in the Pingjin area. ”

"Then why is Zhang Xueliang exempt?" Everyone was in an uproar, it was the first time they had heard of such a high-level secret, but they didn't expect that the usually majestic chairman would have nothing to do with the people below.

"Yes, Zhang Xueliang misled the country, he should be dismissed."

"Is it avoided? He had an army of 300,000 at his disposal. Someone retorted coldly.

"This classmate is right, inevitably," Zhuang Jihua immediately interjected in support: "Exempt Zhang Xueliang, the 300,000 Northeast Army is in rebellion in Pingjin, wouldn't it be cheap for nothing." ”

"Students, this is the reality of our country, the local powerful faction does not put the interests of the country first, but takes the interests of a small group as the greatest, and resists if it is beneficial to them, and shirks it in every possible way if it is unfavorable. Speaking of the people, you say you can sacrifice, but are the farmers in the countryside also willing to sacrifice? Do they know what this is? Zhuang Jihua began to lead the topic to his predetermined track.
