The corners of Bai Chongxi's mouth showed a hint of mockery: "Stilwell is making trouble in Burma again, and Weidemeyer rushed over." Whole \ Ben / Small \ Say / Net "

Zhuang Jihua's mind turned and understood, Stilwell definitely wanted to attack Thailand or Malaysia, but the strategy of the allies was to defend the south and attack the north, and there was no plan to attack in Southeast Asia, and due to the offensive of China and the United States in the Chinese mainland and the Pacific Ocean, Japan transferred a large number of Southeast Asian garrisons, and the Japanese army did not have offensive forces, and the Southeast Asian battlefield is now very calm, jokingly called the peace front by the press, and the officers on both sides restrain the soldiers and are not allowed to take the initiative to provoke each other.

This situation certainly did not coincide with Stilwell's ambitions, and after the capture of Burma, Stilwell's greatest wish became to regain Singapore and leave his name in the annals of the war.

"Chief Chen didn't bother you." Bai Chongxi asked again, Zhuang Jihua smiled, Chen Shaokuan was the one who attacked the southwest development the most fiercely among all the military and political officials. A large number of factories and mines have been developed and built in the southwest, but none of them are related to the navy, which makes Chen Shaokuan extremely dissatisfied.

As early as 128 after the Songhu War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Chen Shaokuan proposed to divide China's maritime frontier from south to north into four major theaters, form four fleets, and set up an ocean-going fleet including aircraft carriers. Of course, this plan was vetoed by Chiang Kai-shek, and after the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Shaokuan put forward a huge army building plan, which included twenty aircraft carriers. Chiang Kai-shek could only shake his head when he got this plan, China simply did not have the financial resources to buy so many warships.

Zhuang Jihua had never seen this plan, but the Chongqing officialdom regarded this plan as a laughing stock, but Chen Shaokuan was unmoved, and still repeatedly made suggestions to Chiang Kai-shek, demanding the rebuilding of the navy, and even proposed to form a detachment including an aircraft carrier, a battleship or cruiser, and three destroyers, which would be incorporated into the US military sequence and participate in the Pacific War. Naturally, this request was vetoed by Chiang Kai-shek.

"Although Chief Chen's plan is unrealistic, his heart is good, and the country cannot do without coastal defense." Chiang Kai-shek stood up: "After the war, in the future we will build a powerful navy, aircraft carriers, battleships, submarines, we must have." ”

Zhuang Jihua also got up, and a flash of inspiration flashed in Hunan's mind: "Submarine, I understand." ”

Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi looked at him with some surprise, and Zhuang Jihua explained with some excitement: "The Americans are not going to send supplies, but submarines, Chairman Chen, Chief Bai, you see, American submarines are now starting from Hawaii, and if they want to go to the battlefield, they need to travel 1,000 miles, but if they start from Qingdao, they only need to go a few hundred nautical miles, and they can stay at sea for dozens of days longer." ”

Bai Chongxi was the first to understand, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "This Yankee, there are really a lot of fancy intestines." ”

Chiang Kai-shek's brows furrowed slightly, and Chen Cheng asked with some confusion: "Why do you want to do this?" Just say no? ”

"I don't understand this either," Zhuang Jihua also wondered: "Qingdao's dock has been greatly damaged, and besides, we used to be xiǎo tonnage ships, so we can't dock those large ships in the United States at all, even if we want to dock submarines, we have to build a special dock." ”

Chiang Kai-shek understood, and he easily showed a smile: "That's easy to do, it's okay to build a wharf and repair a port, let the Americans pay, and the same goes for the airport, let the Americans pay, hum, Roosevelt, you want to stay out of it, it's not so cheap." ”

Zhuang Jihua, Chen Cheng, and Bai Chongxi all know what this staying out of the way means. The three of them did not speak, Chen Chengbai Chongxi thought that it would not be easy to pull the United States into Mongolia; Zhuang Jihua is not, even with his poor knowledge of history, he knows that Roosevelt's life is less than two years, and when Durum comes to power and McCarthyism prevails, the United States will definitely participate in Mongolian affairs, of course, the premise is the outbreak of the Cold War.

In the evening of the same day, Chiang Kai-shek summoned He Siyuan to inquire about Shandong's post-war reconstruction, and He Siyuan introduced to him in detail the measures for Shandong's post-war reconstruction, from social reform to people's livelihood construction, and admired the great power of social reform.

Zhuang Jihua did not accompany Chiang Kai-shek at the headquarters, but asked Chen Cheng and Deng Yanda to drink tea in the backyard of the headquarters. This was the first time Zhuang Jihua asked Chen Cheng to have tea, which made Chen Cheng very surprised and wondered, when he walked into the backyard in wonder, he saw Deng Yanda also sitting under the green frame, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Chen Cheng and Deng Yanda had a very close relationship, after Chen Cheng joined Sun Yat-sen's camp, he has always been Deng Yanda's subordinate, to the Whampoa Military Academy is also to follow Deng Yanda, and even at the beginning of Deng Yanda's organization of the third party, he also participated in the third party, the eighteenth army led by him was once an important military force of the third party, but since then the two have gradually drifted apart, the third party in the organization of the eighteenth army was destroyed, Chen Cheng was completely devoted to Chiang Kai-shek's side.

After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Deng Yanda used Chen Cheng's old relationship to develop his strength mainly in the Ninth War Zone, Chen Cheng did not support his actions on the surface, but secretly set up many obstacles, so that Deng Yanda ran in the Ninth War Zone for several years, but achieved nothing, and finally had to move to the Fifth War Zone. After that, Deng Yanda and Li Jishen organized the New Party, and Deng Yanda also approached Chen Cheng, but Chen Cheng resolutely refused. Although the two of them are still polite on the surface, they both know in their hearts that there is a big gap between the two.

Deng Yanda was also a little surprised by Chen Cheng's arrival, he quickly calmed down and beckoned Chen Cheng to go over and sit, Chen Cheng couldn't quit now, he could only walk over and sit opposite Deng Yanda.

"I didn't expect Brother Zhisheng to be there, I would have brought some coffee if I knew it." In fact, Deng Yanda doesn't like to drink coffee, and Chen Cheng is completely speechless, slightly embarrassed.

Zhuang Jihua and Deng Yanda naturally knew it, and Zhuang Jihua poured tea for Chen Cheng: "Director Deng, Teacher Chen, I am a junior, and today the juniors invite the two teachers to drink tea and chat casually." ”

Deng Yanda is the same as Chen Cheng, but he is also confused, he doesn't know what Zhuang Jihua is going to do, why did he call Chen Cheng again? He glanced at Chen Cheng, and the other party was also puzzled.

Chen Cheng made up his mind to see what Zhuang Jihua was going to sell first, he took a sip of tea steadily, and then looked at Zhuang Jihua quietly, Deng Yanda was the same, he was more confused in his heart, he had proposed to contact Chen Cheng before, but Zhuang Jihua was resolutely opposed, he also had a problem with Chen Cheng, so he accepted Zhuang Jihua's suggestion, but now Zhuang Jihua called Chen Cheng again.

"The chairman will go to Qingdao tomorrow, are the Americans already in Qingdao?" Zhuang Jihua started in Qingdao.

Chen Cheng nodded: "Your conjecture is likely to be correct, Wei Demaier sent two naval officers. I recalled that Shen Honglie had built some wharves in Qingdao, and during the occupation, the Japanese Third Fleet also used Qingdao as a base, and I specially telegraphed to inquire that the largest warship of the Third Fleet was a light cruiser, so the purpose of the Americans was probably really a submarine. ”

"Whatever it is, it's a good thing for us." Zhuang Jihua smiled and added water to Chen Cheng, they were now drinking Cantonese kung fu tea, and the xiǎo teapot was bubbling on the stove: "Shandong's people's livelihood withered after the war, and building a wharf requires a lot of manpower and materials, which will drive the economic recovery of the entire Shandong." ”

"Well, that's right." Chen Cheng nodded in agreement, he didn't know much about the economy, in the past few years of southwest development, Zhuang Jihua has won the title of a rare military general who understands the economy, and even experts like Ma Yinchu agree, since he said so, Chen Cheng recognized it.

"The Japanese army in North China is massing, the enemy situation is serious, the confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, our internal split, the Cultural Revolution, rhetoric, can you persuade the chairman of the committee to give in, can't you?" Deng Yanda pulled the topic to the aspect he was most concerned about.

Chen Cheng smiled bitterly, Zhuang Jihua had already telegraphed Chiang Kai-shek in detail about the negotiations with Zhou EN, the gap between the two sides was indeed very large, and Chiang Kai-shek was unwilling to make such a big concession, so that Zhuang Jihua could continue to negotiate with Zhou EN.

"No," without waiting for Chen Cheng to speak, Zhuang Jihua shook his head resolutely: "Director Deng, there is a situation that you may not know, Stalin proposed at the Tehran Conference, let us recognize the ** Li, and also ask for the transfer of the rights of the Middle East Road to Soviet Russia." In order to fight back against Soviet Russia, the chairman decided to attack Mongolia first. ”

Deng Yanda was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, he was completely shocked, Zhuang Jihua added: "Although Stalin dissolved the GC International, the GCD is in the same line, Soviet Russia will not give up**, ** cannot do without Soviet Russia, they need the support of Soviet Russia." If our army marches into Mongolia, Stalin will definitely ask ** to provoke a civil war in their interests, and at this time ** attitude is very important, and we have to worry. ”

"The Cultural Revolution is right," Chen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhuang Jihua's words gave him a reason: "Soviet Russia is ambitious, and their intentions are likely to be more than the Middle East, and Stalin proposed at the meeting that all the benefits taken by Japan in the Russo-Japanese War should be returned to Soviet Russia, which means that Dalian Lushun will give them Jiāo." So we have to be vigilant. ”

Deng Yanda didn't expect it at all, he stared at Chen Cheng with wide eyes, wondering if what he said was true, but Chen Cheng faced it calmly. Zhuang Jihua sighed: "In this war, we have paid great sacrifices, and every grass, tree, brick and tile in the Northeast belongs to China." ”

"After the last world war, we were humiliated at the Paris Peace Conference, and the May Fourth Movement set off a storm across the country, if we signed such a treaty, then what is the difference between us and the traitorous Beiyang government, are we worthy of those heroic martyrs who died on the battlefield?" Zhuang Jihua's tone was very sad.

"So, Cultural Revolution, what do you mean?" Deng Yanda frowned, this is an intractable knot, **The relationship with Soviet Russia is clear, if there is a conflict or even war between China and the Soviet Union, what action will be taken? In the conflict between the Middle East Road and the Middle East, ** openly supported Soviet Russia, which was the only one of all political parties in the country.

What will they do in the future?

Deng Yanda didn't know, and Zhuang Jihua didn't know either.
