After Chen Bui left, Chiang Kai-shek fell into deep thought, Chen Bui did not guess wrong, he wanted to install his people in Sichuan, the reason is that Sichuan is becoming more and more important, especially after Chongqing's arsenal began to spread to all parts of Sichuan, the Chengdu-Chongqing railway line is a construction site, even airplanes have been built, in addition to Chongqing is still trying to produce tanks, if he didn't know the importance of tanks before, the first battle of Yucheng made him completely understand the power of tanks; If he didn't believe that Chongqing could build tanks before, and more complex things like airplanes have already come out, what else should he suspect?

But he obviously felt that the problem in Sichuan was not easy to handle, and it was difficult to determine the candidate, not to mention anything else, Zhuang Jihua would definitely not adopt an indifferent attitude as before, the reason was very simple, Sichuan was too important to the southwest development team. /。 qВ５、cOm/

Thinking of Zhuang Jihua, Chiang Kai-shek's chest is a little blocked, from Nanjing to Yucheng, three battles and three victories, it can be said that it is to turn the tide, Chiang Kai-shek even has some doubts, if he fights according to Zhuang Jihua's deployment before the war, I am afraid that Xuzhou can be saved, even in this case, he still won in Yucheng, Chiang Kai-shek really can't think of what situation he will lose.

The Times article was also a hidden pain in his heart, and the title of Moses of China was like a thorn in his heart, so that he could not ignore it. But now he can't take Zhuang Jihua what, whether it is civil or officialdom, his reputation is rising rapidly, not to mention, two years of war, the country's finances are tight, Kong Xiangxi is thinking of issuing patriotic bonds, which needs the support of the bank, now the land has fallen, the four major state-owned banks have suffered heavy losses, and it highlights the importance of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Sichuan Development Bank, and these two banks are in the hands of Zhuang Jihua, so that Chiang Kai-shek has another layer of scruples.

"Headmaster, Dai Lia asks to see you." Chiang Kai-shek was thinking about it, and Tang Zong came in to report.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly, and Dai Li came in quickly, holding a briefcase in his hand: "Principal, the GCD activities in various places that the students were ordered to investigate have ended, this is the report, please review it." ”

After speaking, he took out a document from his briefcase, put his hands on Chiang Kai-shek's desk, and then took two steps back, Chiang Kai-shek picked up the document and read it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became.

After the Xuyi conflict, Chiang Kai-shek secretly ordered Dai Li to secretly investigate GCD activities, and Dai Li, through the military command organization, began to investigate GCD activities in various places, not only in the national control area but also in the occupied area.

But this report shocked Chiang Kai-shek, GCD's activities in the Kuomintang area are very active, only in Wuhan there are more than 20 GCD-related mass organizations, nearly 1,000 young students go to Yan'an every year, in addition, in Guangzhou, Changsha, Xi'an, Nanning and other cities, there are Xinhua Daily branches, the newspaper has been reporting Mao Zdong and other ** leaders of the article, this is still bad, what's worse is that recently the Xinhua Daily suddenly changed the tone, began to criticize the surrender faction, Publicly accusing the government of sending people to contact the Japanese side in Hong Kong.

In terms of military affairs, it is even more terrible, almost all of North China has been reduced to GCD territory, northwest Shanxi, northeast Shanxi, southwest Shanxi, central Hebei, eastern Hebei, and even Shandong, which has just fallen recently, GCD has also quickly filled the gaps, in Jiaodong, Yimeng Mountain, and the Hebei-Shandong border have taken root, and the main force of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army is advancing into Shandong, and Liu Bocheng led the 129th Division to advance into Jizhong, and joined forces with Lu Zhengcao to carry out a big ** in the rear of the Japanese army; He Long developed along the Luliang Mountains to Suiyuan Inner Mongolia, Nie Rongzhen violently expanded the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, and there were Communist Party troops in eastern Hebei, Chahar, and northern Hebei. South of the Yangtze River, the New Fourth Army gradually gained a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, and their troops even penetrated deep into the vicinity of Pudong, Nanjing, and Suzhou.

"Ten years of hard work were ruined." Chiang Kai-shek closed the report and sighed in a low voice, Dai Li looked at Chiang Kai-shek quietly, and then he suddenly interjected: "Principal, there is a report from the Fifth War Zone, the senior of the Cultural Revolution has recently had close contacts with Xuanxia's father and Huang Mincheng in the New Fourth Army Liaison Office, and Xuanxia's father often goes in and out of the Fifth War Zone, and has a close relationship with the Huangpu classmates in the Fifth War Zone. ”

Chiang Kai-shek frowned and thought about it: "What is he going to do with Xuyi's matter?" ”

Although he didn't say his name, Dai Li made it clear who he was talking about: "He didn't mention it again, he still interacted with them, Han Feng reported that he recently gave them a batch of seized weapons and ammunition." ”

Dai Li suddenly felt a fierce pressure like a mountain, his vest broke out in a cold sweat, and gradually the pressure slowly disappeared, and after a while, he heard a soft hum from above, and the voice was cold, but it made his heart cold: "It's good to care more, but don't be too much." ”

"Understood, Headmaster." A layer of cold sweat broke out on the corner of Dai Li's forehead, he thought that the summons was over, and was about to turn around and leave, but when he looked up, he saw Chiang Kai-shek looking out of the window in a daze, his eyes wandered, he understood that there was still something to order, so he stopped and waited quietly.

After a while, Chiang Kai-shek withdrew his gaze and said to Dai Li: "We cannot allow the Communist Party to develop, and we must take some measures." ”

Dai Li understood and replied very respectfully: "Yes, the student understands. ”

After Dai Li left, Chiang Kai-shek picked up the GD activity report, looked through it carefully, and found that in the three southwestern provinces, the GCD activities were actually the least, and most of them were recorded, and Xinhua Daily could not enter the three southwestern provinces at all. But the relief soon passed.

Just as Chiang Kai-shek was meeting Dai Li, in the Mingde Hotel on General Xiafei Road in the French Concession of Hankou, Arai was meeting with Nagasawa, the chief of the Japanese spy network in Wuhan. Taro Nagasawa, who is in his forties and goes by the pseudonym Zheng Changming, is the general manager of a trading company who has been lurking in China for more than a decade.

"There are no opponents of Zhuang Jihua in the Chinese government," perhaps because he has been in China for too long, and Nagasawa's words have a lot less Japanese flavor: "Mr. Qingqi is really very clever, and this plan is completely feasible." ”

Since the Lugou Bridge Incident, Nagasawa has been calculating when the Japanese army will hit Wuhan, but although the Japanese army occupies many places, it has never been able to hit Wuhan, and the confidence of the Chinese people is slowly rising.

"So, Chang Zejun, how do you plan to realize this plan and transfer General ** out of the Fifth War Zone." Arai stood up and walked to the window, looked at the bustling crowd on the street, and said hatefully: "Because of him, the Great Japanese samurai suffered heavy losses, and the empire's plan to conquer ** was blocked, and the war dragged on, which was very detrimental to the empire." ”

"Please rest assured, as far as I know, Sichuan Provincial Chairman Liu Xiang is dead, and there will be a competition for the position of chairman of this province, because of the vital interests involved, Zhuang Jihua will definitely be involved, and we will be able to achieve our goal at that time."

"When is the time?" Arai was a little puzzled, and at the same time a little angry, this kind of waiting for an opportunity to come to the door is not his way.

"We can only wait for the opportunity," Chang Ze patiently explained: "The relationship between Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek is a little delicate, Chiang Kai-shek trusts him very much, and he is also very loyal to Chiang Kai-shek. However, there is a saying that after the battle of Yucheng, his prestige rose sharply, and there was a faint possibility of surpassing Chiang Kai-shek, which was absolutely unacceptable to Chiang Kai-shek. ”

"The merit is high." Arai muttered and repeated it twice, with a smile on his face: "Yo Xi, stupid ** person, so be it, I hope you can realize Mr. Qingqi's plan as soon as possible." ”

"Hello!" Nagasawa replied solemnly, then bowed to him slightly, opened the door and left.

Although the weather is still cold, the sun shines on the earth, the breath of spring is heard, the branches on both sides of the highway have quietly spit out new shoots, the turtle and snake two mountains watch each other, the east lake is rippling with clear water, the visitors are weaving, all kinds of exquisite painting boats shuttle on the lake, the beautiful boat lady waves the light long pole, lightly, that is, a blue wave is drawn on the water surface, constituting a wonderful picture, the war seems to have gone away at this moment.

A painting boat is deftly shuttling in the lotus pond, the boat can not see the boat lady, and there are several bodyguards with top hats at the bow and stern of the boat, so that people can know at a glance that it is an important person to play.

A dinghy quickly caught up with the boat, the bodyguard at the bow glanced at the people on the boat, and turned his head away, Bai Sitong got on the boat from the dinghy, stepped into the hatch and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late, there is something temporary, please forgive me, please forgive me." ”

As he spoke, everyone in the cabin shook each other before stepping into the cabin. In the middle of the cabin was a large round table, on which were four or five plates of crabs, and a few more plates of shrimp, and there were already five people in the cabin, but apparently most of them were already full, except for a fat man in a white vest who was fighting with the crabs.

A middle-aged man in a blue vest who was leaning on the side of the boat and looking at the scenery turned his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Section Chief Bai, what is so busy, this time has only arrived." ”

"There's no way to work hard, then be as relaxed as you," Bai Sitong said and walked to the table and sat down next to the fat man in the white vest: "The Russian ambassador has come to trouble again, they have proposed a new agreement, asking us to recognize the agreement they signed with Sheng Shicai, and the chairman asked me to report." President Kong, I'm afraid that the chairman of the NPC National Committee will come to you today and tomorrow to discuss the Xinjiang issue. ”

Kong Xiangxi was trying to pull open a crab's thigh, and nodded indifferently when he heard this, Bai Sitong was relieved at this time, he reached out and picked up a crab and pulled it away.

"These Russians are really good at seizing opportunities." A caftan on the other side couldn't help but scold.

"Of course," Bai Sitong said with a smile: "Stalin's appetite is no worse than that of a little devil, and if he doesn't come to knock on some bamboo poles at this time, he won't be Stalin." ”

"What's the matter, Dalin Xiaolin, let's worry about ourselves first, Dean Kong, if this continues, I'm afraid that the Seven Star Company will only close the door and go out of business." The blue vest lamented.

"Hehe, how could it be, Brother Rumu," said with a smile to another man who was leaning on the leisure chair drinking next to him, "Dean Kong won't let it close." ”

"What if you don't close the door, if you don't have the goods, what kind of deal will you take, Brother Keting, you teach me, how about it." Ma Jia shouted sadly: "Penicillin was still supplied, although the share is declining year by year, but after all, there is still the goods, and now, it is basically broken, and if you don't think about it, there will be no penicillin in Shanghai, and jeeps and radios are all broken." ”

Kong Xiangxi sat at the table and pulled open a crab, still with a simple smile on his face, but the occasional flash of light revealed his true face.

"Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Development Bank, and Fudian Bank, these three major banks have already controlled Southwest Finance, and our four major banks are in the name of the National Bank, but they can't intervene. Huaxi Xingye Company, just a little bit, was stopped by Mei Yuntian, it was all over, as well as Shanghai Qiangsheng Chemical Factory, Wuhan's Dongjia Machinery Factory, was interfered by Zhang Jingjiang, and it was gone. Keting shook his head and sighed, his disappointment overflowing.

"Now you can come from Hong Kong to order goods, but it is getting more and more difficult, Du Yuesheng and Adege they have jointly set up a transportation company, specializing in Yunnan-Myanmar road transportation, once Guangzhou is lost, this road is the golden road, we must do it now, but Yunnan's economy is also in the hands of the southwest development team." The blue vest said regretfully: "If it goes on like this, in a few years, there will really be no need for the Seven Star Company to exist." ”

"In addition to these, the import and export of weapons are also controlled by the Southwest Development Team," Chang Yi couldn't help but speak: "The aircraft cannons imported from the United States and the factory equipment imported from Germany are all imported through the Sichuan Development Company, and our living space is being squeezed little by little, and if we don't think of a way, we won't get anything." ”

A few people, you say a word to me, it's all about business, and the clouds are gloomy, it seems that the sky is about to fall, but Kong Xiangxi is unmoved, and still challenges the crab's thighs with relish.

Bai Sitong came late, the table was already a mess, he didn't speak, although he returned to the political arena through Wang Jingwei, but over the years he has wandered among various forces, because of his mastery of Soviet and Russian things, Kong Xiangxi gradually included him in his circle, and he is also happy to this kind of wooing, in recent years, he has done a few things for Kong Xiangxi, and gradually entered Kong Xiangxi's inner circle.

Kong Xiangxi knew in his heart what they wanted like this, after he was full of wine and food, he picked up the towel next to him, washed his hands, and then said with a smile: "Don't think about the matter of the chairman of Sichuan Province, we people are either financial or diplomatic, and it is not possible to really govern the place." ”

"Then watch such a large piece of meat being swallowed by Zhuang Jihua." The cheongsam asked rhetorically, "We can't get any soup?" In the meantime, at least those three banks must find a way to take it, otherwise we really can't do anything about it. ”

"Hehe, this is in a hurry," Kong Xiangxi picked up his glasses and put them on: "Don't be too anxious about anything, the previous method doesn't work for these three banks, you have to think of another way." ”

"What's the method?" The cheongsam asked eagerly.

Kong Xiangxi smiled innocently, but said nothing, and the blue vest asked again: "What about the Sichuan Development Company?" I heard that this company has an annual revenue of nearly one billion, and it is completely a domestic giant and must be controlled by the state. ”

"It's in the hands of the state, but it's not in your hands." Kong Xiangxi stabbed him back: "According to the economic strategy proposed by the prime minister, the state controls the backbone enterprises, and private capital is only a supplement, and enterprises like this should be in the hands of the state, but this company has a U.S.-funded background, which is very tricky, and it can't be rushed, rest assured, someone is more anxious than us, and the opportunity will come soon." ”

"Who, who's more anxious than us?" Cheongsam asked curiously.

"Who's else, Chairman?" Bai Sitong replied for Kong Xiangxi, he didn't notice Kong Xiangxi's brows frowning slightly, but Bai Sitong's interest was still very high: "Think about it, look up, only Chongqing in China today can provide weapons and ammunition, and the chairman of the committee is not in a hurry." ”

Bai Sitong's words made people other than Kong Xiangxi suddenly realize, and Kong Xiangxi had no choice but to take Bai Sitong's words and say: "The fact that the chairman of Sichuan Province does not want to hold the position does not mean that he will not implement the economic strategy of the premier, but the shareholders of the Sichuan Development Corporation are complex and have deep collusion with the forces in Sichuan. ”

These people nodded as if they didn't understand, but they were still clear about the strength of the three major banks in the southwest, and Kong Xiangxi was sniped by Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing when he was dealing with Siming Bank and Industrial Bank in Shanghai, which made him suffer a dumb loss. And in the gold trading, there was a big fight, which almost bankrupted Song Ailing, and finally relied on Du Yuesheng to settle it, and the mastermind behind the scenes was Zhuang Jihua, of course, Kong Xiangxi didn't know this, Zhuang Jihua wanted to teach Kong Xiangxi a lesson and let him converge in the future.

Although the central bank has the power to regulate and control finance, since it knows that Zhuang Jihua is behind it, Kong Xiangxi, who understands Zhuang Jihua's financial resources, will certainly not simply take economic measures, but in addition to economic means, Kong Xiangxi can't find a better means, so he has been holding back, but now the conditions are beginning to appear, Chiang Kai-shek has some mustard against Zhuang Jihua, as long as he adds a fire, it is not impossible to take the Sichuan Development Company or the three major banks.

"Dean Kong, it's best to divide and conquer first, transfer those Sichuan rats out of Sichuan, and then we will do it."

Bai Sitong was disdainful when he heard this, most of these people only make money, they don't know anything about political strategy and military strategy, and they don't want to think about it, are those people so stupid.

"I think it's better to see the chairman's attitude." Bai Sitong suggested to Kong Xiangxi.

Kong Xiangxi nodded, but in his heart, he didn't think so, since Chiang Kai-shek's purpose was to control the Sichuan Development Company, then controlling him in the hands of Kong Xiangxi was equivalent to controlling in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek, as long as he could take it, Chiang Kai-shek would only be happy, and there would be no complaints, but how could he take it? Kong Xiangxi already had some ideas in his heart, which is why he summoned these people here today.

"The Anti-Japanese War has been carried out so far, has entered a critical period, all kinds of domestic materials are in short supply, should be uniformly deployed by the state, in order to maximize the effect, I want to set up a material management bureau, medicine, gasoline, diesel, automobiles, cloth, grain, steel, cotton and other materials, the implementation of unified purchase and sales, do you think this policy is feasible?"
