Zhuang Jihua did not go anywhere else after they left, but went directly back to his small western-style building to continue the discussion. Don't look at Zhuang Jihua's confidence in outsiders, but in fact, he is not sure whether he can succeed, so he only used his own money to prepare a large amount of bribes, and now with the support of Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuang Jihua has become more courageous.

He didn't let them go, a few people were pulled directly to his "prison house", Chiang Kai-shek's movements were also very fast, and when they came back, only a few guards at the door were left, and then Zhuang Jihua asked Chiang Kai-shek for instructions to invite Chen Lifu to come, and the six people began to discuss their plans in the small building.

The Baoding department is mainly the students who graduated from the Baoding Military Academy, and the accelerated department is a graduate of the original Sichuan Army Accelerated School, and the Baoding department is headed by Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou, and Tian Songyao, among which Liu Wenhui is the strongest, occupying the territory of 81 counties, with a total strength of about 120,000; The leader of the Rapid Department is Liu Xiang, the commander of the 21st Army, who occupies more than 20 counties and cities such as Yucheng and other eastern Sichuan, with a total strength of about 110,000; The rest of the counties with more defense areas, such as Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Yang Sen, Li Jiayu, Lai Wenhui, and Liu Cunhou, and one and a half counties with a small number of troops, had more than 30,000 or 40,000 troops and a few thousands, but the total number of troops added up to more than 100,000.

Among these people, Liu Xiang had the best relationship with the Central Committee and supported Chiang Kai-shek in all wars; Liu Wenhui was the worst, and opposed Chiang Kai-shek in all wars.

Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui are a pair of uncles and nephews, and the two joined forces to defeat Xiong Kewu, Yang Sen and others, forming a situation in Sichuan where the two Liu competed for hegemony, and the contradictions between the two immediately rose.

"Liu Wenhui's strength is stronger, Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, and Li Jiayu of the Baoding Department are not weak, but this Liu Wenhui's strength is strong, and people become arrogant, and they win over Deng Tian and others' subordinates, Chengdu is originally occupied by Deng and Liu Tian, and now Liu Wenhui wants to squeeze Deng Tian out of Chengdu and monopolize Chengdu by himself, and has a salt tax dispute with Deng Xihou in Zigong, and competes with Liu Cunhou for the Songpan area in western Sichuan, and Li Jiayu and Luo Zezhou in Nanchong. On the contrary, Liu Xiang was much more sleek, secretly contacting Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Yang Sen, he controlled Yucheng, controlled the Yangtze River waterway, and controlled Sichuan's foreign traffic, last year Liu Wenhui's shipload of arms was detained by him, making Liu Wenhui angry, the two are now tense, and a war is inevitable. After Zeng Guangqing introduced the warlords in Sichuan, the people in the audience fell silent.

"Lifu, what are the arrangements of the party department in Sichuan?" Zhuang Jihua asked Chen Lifu after thinking.

Chen Lifu was personally called by Chiang Kai-shek to ask him to come, and Chiang Kai-shek didn't say anything on the phone, but just asked him to fully cooperate with Zhuang Jihua, and only after he arrived did he understand what to do.

Chen Lifu understood what Zhuang Jihua was asking, which was to ask him what arrangements the intelligence department had made in Sichuan. In the past few years, he has been busy with party affairs and has not paid enough attention to the intelligence department, so he is a little embarrassed: "In Sichuan, our strength is not strong, and we have party offices in several important cities, and party affairs in other places are blank. ”

Zhuang Jihua frowned and interrupted him: "Lifu, the people here are all cronies of the principal, if even we can't work together and be honest, is there any hope for this party?" ”

Chen Lifu was slightly stunned, but only slightly astringent, and then said: "Is it mine or not, the investigation department is arranged in Sichuan, and there are our intelligence officers in the 20th Army and the 21st Army, but their level is not high, they have not been able to enter the high-level, and they cannot decide the situation." ”

"What is the highest position within the 21st Army, and what about the 20th Army?" Zhuang Jihua could not accept vague statements.

"It's all military staff, low-level staff officers, and the rank is major." Chen Lifu also immediately added.

"Lifu go back, you give me the list of intelligence officers and contact information within the army in Sichuan, maybe it will be useful after I enter Sichuan." Zhuang Jihua knew that Chen Lifu would definitely not reveal the names of these people on this occasion.

Chen Lifu was a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he said: "Yes, but it will be burned immediately after reading." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled: "Of course, I set this rule, of course I have to abide by it." ”

When he was in charge of the Intelligence Bureau, the primary emphasis was on secrecy, and important intelligence officers were only allowed to be possessed by one person, and they were absolutely not allowed to leak out.

"Brother Enlargement, you can introduce again, Sichuan's industrial and traffic conditions, as well as minerals." Zhuang Jihua said.

Zeng Guangqing cleared his throat and said: "There is no heavy industry in Sichuan, there are no steel plants, there is a military factory in Chengdu, there is a power plant in Yucheng, Chengdu, but the scale is not large, when I went last year, Pan Wenhua, the mayor of Yucheng, was planning to expand the power plant, I don't know much about the minerals, I have not been in Sichuan for a long time, and my main task is not to inspect industry. ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't say anything, He Jinhan hadn't spoken since he entered the house, he was always thinking about Chiang Kai-shek's words just now, guessing Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, and slowly he figured out Chiang Kai-shek's true intentions, which gave him a sense of crisis.

"Cultural Revolution, tell me what you think." understands and understands, but He Jinhan can't help it for the time being, Zhuang Jihua left too much impression on him before, so he plans to see how Zhuang Jihua wants to move.

"There is no more specific plan, I will be improvisable after entering, but I heard Brother Enlargement say this, Sichuan has the opportunity to fish in troubled waters," Zhuang Jihua's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and the ** that had been suppressed for a long time began to wake up: "However, opportunities will only be reserved for those who are prepared, so we must be prepared ourselves." ”

Then Zhuang Jihua put forward his preparatory measures, first of all, the formation of a guard team, all the unemployed Whampoa Military Academy classmates he wanted, the number of 800-1000 people, not too much, too much will cause others to suspect, if the number is not enough, from the 87th Division and the 88th Division to participate in the 128th Songhu War of Resistance Veterans to supplement, after everyone arrived, all sent to Song Xilian Department for a month of special training.

"Meng Guo, you give me a hard training, Sichuan is in chaos, and there can't be a trace of mistakes in safety, or that sentence, it's better to lack than to abuse."

The task of entering Sichuan was to build barracks for the large troops that would come in later, and at the same time to investigate in detail the situation in Sichuan, especially in the industrial and commercial circles in the Yucheng area.

"Our entry into Sichuan has to arouse the vigilance of the Sichuan warlords, so the barracks should not be located in the urban area, it is best to be outside the city, but not too far from the city."

"I'll do the rest, I'll recruit people." Zhuang Jihua pretended to smile lightly, but everyone knows that this is actually the most difficult, university professors, experts and scholars, these people don't have preferential treatment, that one is not a strong surname, follow you to the ravine, why?

After listening to the composition of the escort team, He Jinhan understood that Zhuang Jihua fully understood Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, and the Resources Committee was a hand that Chiang Kai-shek stretched out to Sichuan, breaking the current situation in which the central government was powerless in the southwest.

"Then Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui, what are you going to deal with?" Yu Jishi asked, Zhuang Jihua talked for a long time, but he didn't involve Er Liu at all, which made him a little confused.

"I didn't think about it, just improvise, but Minister Chen," Zhuang Jihua turned to Chen Lifu: "Please Minister Chen order the Sichuan Provincial Party Department and intelligence officers to pay close attention to the movements of the warlords of various factions in Sichuan, increase the influence of the warlords of various factions, and do not take any action in addition. ”

Chen Lifu is also a smart person, he has seen from Zhuang Jihua's arrangement that it is not just as simple as investigating resources, he is a little dissatisfied in his heart, but this dissatisfaction cannot be said.

"Okay." Chen Lifu's tone was calm, but his expression was a little uncertain.

Zhuang Jihua glanced at him, and understood his thoughts with a slight movement in his mind: "Lifu, my farewell is five years, and it is already a matter of time since I came back, if I want to do something, it is impossible without your help, but there are some things I can't say yet, because the principal didn't make it clear, so I just prepared in advance, as for whether to do it or not, I don't know at all, just wait for the principal's order." ”

"Cultural Revolution, don't worry, I will never hold you back, I will do my best to protect you in terms of intelligence." Chen Lifu knew that Zhuang Jihua had seen through the reason for his unhappiness, and explained to him euphemistically that since he had already given face, he was not very happy, and the officialdom in Nanjing was complicated, the CC Department and the Department of Political Science led by their brothers were fighting fiercely, and the newly established Blue Coat Society was very strong, and it had to be guarded against, and it was very unwise to establish a strong enemy like Zhuang Jihua.

"During the Cultural Revolution, the classmates of the Blue Coat Club want to talk to you again, and we still hope that you will lead it." As soon as Chen Lifu thought of the Blue Coat Society, He Jinhan mentioned the Blue Coat Society, and Chen Lifu's ears immediately pricked up.

Zhuang Jihua didn't know about the Blue Coat Society, in his previous life it was a notorious organization, not long after he came back, when He Jinhan came to see him, it was like he introduced the Blue Coat Society, and invited him to participate, but Zhuang Jihua refused after reading their program, and it was written in the program and ideas of the Blue Coat Society that only fascism can save China, and their discipline can be boiled down to one obedience, absolute obedience, life requires all members to live a life similar to that of an ascetic, and the monthly salary shall not exceed 200 yuan, and the excess shall be handed over.

"Junshan, don't mention this matter in the future, I don't agree with your program and thoughts, jokes, fascism saves China, what should I do if Sanming cooks righteousness? Junshan, Meng Guo, Liangyi, you'd better not join, Sanming boiled righteous believers have become fascist believers, and our Kuomintang simply changed its name to the Fascist Party. Zhuang Jihua's tone was very serious, but he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, how could they be so familiar with their organization and living regulations.
