Section 1: Party Struggle (3)
He Jinhan found Qian Dajun and Lin Wei and asked them to help and let Deng Wenyi see Chiang Kai-shek, but Lin Wei told him that now was not the time, Chiang Kai-shek was very angry and was investigating the leak of the attendant's room, and the waiter's room had to be adjusted again. He Jinhan was very disappointed, and he said to Qian Dajun with tears in his eyes: "Teacher, Xue Bing told me that he absolutely confiscated Xu Bacon's money, which is purely a false accusation, teacher, for the sake of Huangpu, please help him, let him meet the principal, at least let him have the right to argue." ”
He Jinhan's rare expression of emotion touched Qian Dajun, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Junshan, it's not that I don't help him, it's that I can't help him, Xiao Zanyu is by the principal's side, he knows that I didn't tell a lie, but my friend can help him." ”
"Teacher, what's the solution?" He Jinhan was already a little desperate, but when he suddenly heard Qian Dajun say that there was still a way, he couldn't help but feel hope again.
"At present, there are only two people who can help Xue Bing," Qian Dajun looked at He Jinhan and said, "Madam and Zhuang Wenge, only they can convince the principal." ”
"Cultural Revolution," He Jinhan hesitated, Song Meiling didn't dare to go to find it, Zhuang Jihua, but he didn't know about the last time he borrowed Li Anding's set, did Zhuang Jihua guess it, if he guessed it, he would open his mouth to him at this moment, would he agree? "The Cultural Revolution has a prejudice against Xue Bing, will he help him?"
"You have a lot of heart, the Cultural Revolution is a person with a surname, as long as we bring it up to him, he will definitely help." Qian Da said in embarrassment: "However, this matter cannot be telegraphed, the last time the Cultural Revolution interceded for Li Anding, it was refuted by the principal, we must learn this lesson, let him say to the principal in person, what reason can be used to let him come to Nanjing?" ”
He Jinhan couldn't cry or laugh, Li Anding's sequelae actually affected Deng Wenyi, Lin Wei slapped his thigh: "There is a way, isn't it the day after tomorrow to discuss the Yangtze River defense plan?" Seckert admired Zhuang Wenge very much, and it was logical for Seckert to come forward and ask Zhuang to participate in the Cultural Revolution. ”
"It's still a fast consolation message." Qian Dajun said with a smile, and then said meaningfully: "We are trying to delay for three days, Zhuang Wenge is coming, you go to meet him, and the rest is up to you." ”
The Yangtze River Defense Plan was a defensive measure formulated by the German advisory group in response to the attack of the Chinese army along the Yangtze River after the outbreak of the Sino-Chinese War. Formulated by General Falkenhausen. Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to this defense plan, and he wanted to personally participate in the discussion.
He Zhenhan reluctantly agreed, even Qian Dajun and Lin Wei didn't dare to interfere, this matter was really troublesome, He Jinhan thought of the person who did it secretly, and his heart itched with hatred.
Seckert's face was very big, and Zhuang Jihua soon received an order to let him go to Nanjing to attend an important meeting of the General Staff, he didn't know what the meeting was, so he brought the industrial plan for the Yucheng area, and after thinking about it, he brought logistics support and reserve construction planning.
After getting off the plane at Nanjing Airport, in addition to the staff headquarters, there was also Xiao Zanyu who came to pick him up, Zhuang Jihua felt strange, Xiao Zanyu was Chiang Kai-shek's guard officer, how could he appear here?
"Brother Huazhi, I really didn't expect to see you here, did the principal want me to see him now?" Zhuang Jihua asked.
"Let's get in the car, let's talk as we go." Xiao Zanyu opened the car door, Zhuang Jihua saw that he was worried, and knew that there must be something strange in it, so he said to Gong Xiuhua and them: "You get in that car, and I will sit in Huazhi's car." ”
Of course, they understood that Xiao Zanyu must have something to talk about when he found Zhuang Jihua, and the three of them nodded and agreed. After Zhuang Jihua got into the car, Xiao Zanyu said to the driver: "Staff Headquarters Guest House." ”
After leaving the airport, after a while, Xiao Zanyu spoke: "Cultural Revolution, this time Xue Bing is in trouble, and if you don't do it, your head will fall to the ground." ”
"Is it that serious?" Zhuang Jihua felt a little puzzled, and he had also read the newspaper report, but he thought that there were several important links that had not been clarified, and all the evidence was speculation and could not confirm the guilt of Deng Wenyi and Xu Peigen.
Xiao Zanyu nodded and said bitterly: "The principal is very angry, if it weren't for Qian Dajun and Lin Wei blocking at the same time, I'm afraid Xue Bing would have been in prison." ”
"There's already proof?" Zhuang Jihua was surprised, this is too fast, when did the political axe of the Republic of China become so efficient.
"No, you haven't seen the principal angry, I've been by his side for a few years, and I've never seen him so angry,...., hey, now the principal doesn't want to see Xue Bing, and Xue Bing can't plead to the principal. The headmaster had to take into account public opinion. Xiao Zanyu shook his head and sighed.
"Oh." Zhuang Jihua nodded, and then he didn't say anything anymore, Xiao Zanyu looked at him and said, "I know that you are dissatisfied with Xue Bing for the matter of Guangzhou, but this time Xue Bing is really wronged, he did not promise us that he would confiscate a penny." ”
"Have you found out who did it?" Zhuang Jihua asked lightly, but his mind was spinning rapidly, it was obvious that Deng Wenyi was yin this time, but looking at the high-level leaders of the Republic of China, there are not many people who dare to yin him, so the person who can make a move must be a powerful faction in Nanjing.
"No, I can't find out, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper who first reported said that it was sent by an unknown middle-aged man, and the name and address left behind were all fake."
"So what are you looking for me to do? With the strength of the Blue Coat Society, he can't keep him? "Zhuang Jihua is a little strange, the Blue Coat Society is now strong, and Zhuang Jihua doesn't dare to say that he surpasses him.
Xiao Zanyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, the Blue Coat Society is now more divided, and even he, the elder, is unwilling to take care of the affairs of the society anymore, Deng Wenyi is unexpected, I'm afraid that the other rows in the club will only steal fun, and then he said Qian Dajun Lin Wei's suggestion: "Cultural Revolution, now I can only look at you, the principal, I have always obeyed you, only you can convince the principal." ”
"Do you think highly of me, do you obey me? Last time I pleaded for Li Anding, what did the principal say, intercede for the [***] elements, this is to warn me not to meddle in the affairs of Nanjing by the way. Zhuang Jihua said lightly.
"Li Anding really did something sorry for the principal, Xue Bing was indeed wronged, besides, didn't you say it? There are fewer and fewer students in the first phase now. Xiao Zanyu said earnestly: "Even if I beg you." ”
"Hey, to be honest, I really don't want to participate in these bad things in Nanjing, Xue Bing must be in the way of someone, you can find someone in what he does, see who is beneficial to him if he falls, as for the other ,...., when the principal summons me, I will respond to the situation." Zhuang Jihua finally agreed to Xiao Zanyu after a pause. But he was very uncomfortable in his heart, this He Xinhan, you come to see me at this time, and the festival between us can be completely revealed, but you let Xiao Zanyu come, hey..........
On the afternoon of the next day, the War Room of the General Staff Headquarters held a seminar on the Yangtze River defense plan, which was attended by Chiang Kai-shek and Seckert in person, and attended by Zhu Peide, chief of staff, Yang Jie, deputy chief of staff, Chen Cheng, director of the Army Consolidation Division, and Lin Wei, Chiang Kai-shek's senior military assistant.
"The Yangtze River defense plan is aimed at cutting China in half after the outbreak of the Sino-Chinese war, the army will go up the Yangtze River, through Yangzhou, Nanjing, and Wuhan, so as to cut China in half, and for this reason, the advisory group believes that it is necessary to strengthen the defense along the Yangtze River, as follows: build a national defense line from Wuxi to Jiangyin, Suzhou to Fushan, Zhapu to Jiaxing, and build fortresses along the Yangtze River such as Jiangyin, Madang, and Tianjiazhen,.... "Yang Jie, deputy chief of staff, read out the plan drawn up by Falkenhausen in a calm and frustrated tone in Yunnan.
Zhuang Jihua listened and analyzed, slightly disappointed in his heart, and slightly hopeful; Falkenhausen's operational thinking was undoubtedly still stuck in World War I, and his understanding of China and the Chinese [***] team was still very lacking, and the plan he designed was still based on fortress-style defense, and at the same time moved the Maginot Line to China, and the gap in firepower between the two armies was too great, and the positional warfare was not the opponent of the army at all. But Zhuang Jihua found that what was more fatal about this plan was that there was no plan to build a defensive line on the periphery of Nanjing.
There are many mountains in the periphery of Nanjing, and there are Fangshan, Tianjing Mountain and Qinglong Mountain in the south; In the southwest direction, there are Jinlong Mountain, Zutang Mountain, Niushou Mountain, and Jianshan Mountain; There is Qixia Mountain in the west..., and there are so many mountains around Nanjing that it is almost the same as that of Yucheng, even if there are Purple Mountain and Lao Mountain in the city. It's completely defensible.
Of course, this is not a reason, the biggest reason is that the massacre that happened here in the previous life that the Chinese will never forget, I came, will it still happen? Zhuang Jihua didn't dare to think about it.
However, Falkenhausen's plan was unanimously praised by Zhu Peide, Yang Jie, and Chen Cheng, who believed that it was a perfect plan, and that the water network in the Wuhu area could weaken the mechanized power of the Yue army and prevent the Yue army's attack.
"Zhuang, what is your opinion?" Seckert saw that Zhuang Jihua's face was cloudy, and this Chinese general, whom he admired very much, must have something in his heart, so he asked.
"I have a question," Zhuang Jihua said slowly, and then looked at the people around him: "In this plan, there are no fortifications on the periphery of Nanjing, so do you not plan to defend Nanjing?" ”
Zhuang Jihua's words made the venue silent, and Seckert smiled slightly: "Zhuang, haven't you always opposed the construction of fortresses, I remember that you and Guderian were both opposed to the construction of fortresses, for this reason you and Manstein and others also argued, thinking that there is no fortress that cannot be attacked, and the Maginot Line is just a decoration, why did you think of building fortresses around Nanjing today." ”
"At this time and then, first of all, we don't have as many tanks as the German army, and we can't afford to fight tank battles, and secondly, the tactics of the army are still stuck in the European war period, and they don't realize the importance of tanks, so the fortress is still useful to them," Zhuang Jihua retorted: "General Falkenhausen's plan does not have a plan to build a fortress on the periphery of Nanjing, so I want to ask if Nanjing will not be defended?" ”
P.S. The real history of Falkenhausen was in China in 1935, but since Seckert was ahead of schedule, he was ahead of schedule.
