Section 4 War Drums (5)

Regarding the current situation and the party's strategy, there are also some very weak voices within the third party, and these voices mainly come from the lower strata of the party and peripheral people who are close to the party, but all this has not attracted the attention of Deng Yanda, Huang Qixiang, Ji Fang and other core high-level leaders, who still insist on opposing Chiang, but they have also noticed the demand of the people of the whole country for confrontation, so they add the word "anti-chiang" in front of anti-Chiang, and anti-Chiang is still the mainstream.

"The Cultural Revolution is amazing." Deng Yanda was stunned for a while before he said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that even you were pulled over by him, I really didn't expect that he was indeed mature." ”

Obviously, it was seriously influenced by Zhuang Jihua, and he didn't want to deny it: "He is very powerful, more powerful than we imagined, sometimes I can't help but compare him with Chiang Kai-shek and you, he is better than both of you in some aspects." ”

Deng Yanda didn't answer, but silently walked to the door and stood side by side with Zheng, thinking back to the young man who was a little young and a little reckless, "It's okay to transfer it to me, twice it's okay." It seems that he was like this at the beginning, and once he saw it, he dared to invest a huge price.

"Will he stand on his own feet?" Deng Yanda asked abruptly.

"I don't mean that yet, but," he said hesitantly after thinking about it, "it depends on the situation." ”

Deng Yanda understood that the serious meaning is that if there is a change in the central government, such as Chiang Kai-shek dying or completely disappearing from the political arena, then the possibility of Zhuang Jihua's self-reliance cannot be ruled out.

"He has that much strength?" Deng Yanda's tone was still flat.

"Yes," seriously did not hesitate: "Within three years, he has created a solid foundation for war by carrying out social transformation and industrialization in Yucheng, and although he only has 50,000 soldiers, as long as he is willing, these 50,000 people can be expanded to 100,000 in one month, and to 300,000 in two months, and the arsenal in Yucheng can provide him with a steady stream of weapons and ammunition, and his troops can become the best equipped troops in China." ”

Deng Yanda was not surprised this time, only regretted, Zhuang Wenge could not surprise him anymore, even if he was a wanderer in Yucheng these days, he also learned a lot, and the trust of the people of Yucheng in the political axe is probably the highest in China. It is a pity that he is reluctant to join the third party, if it is...., then the third party will have the capital to compete with Chiang Kai-shek.

"Brother Qiyuan, do you really think that the current situation has reached the point of cooperating with Chiang Kai-shek to resist the war?" Deng Yanda was very cautious, and this involved a comprehensive change in the party's work policy, and he had reached an agreement with Liangguanggang, and he would be very unwilling if he didn't try it.

Seriously did not answer immediately, but stared at the relief on the pavilion in the courtyard, which was already a little blurry, and seemed to be a flying bird, about to spread its wings.

"Choose your life, the answer to this is already told to us by the 129 Movement." Seriously didn't say anything, he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless to Deng Yanda, only let him find out for himself, to find out the answer, and then it would be possible to change.

"Did you interfere in the 129 Movement?" Seriously asked softly.

"Well, Ji Fang and Zhang Shenfu, especially Zhang Shenfu, he is one of the initiators." Deng Yanda said that this is another person who gives him some headaches. Zhang Shenfu was an important figure when Whampoa was founded, a member of the party, and later clashed with Cai Hesen and others, and accepted Cai Yuanpei's invitation to become a professor at Tsinghua University. However, in the past two years, he has gradually distanced himself from the Action Committee, and has not participated in many major events within the organization, but has single-handedly set off a movement that has swept the whole country in Beiping.

"I'm afraid he's got my back. North China is so big that it can't put a calm desk, which is really good. Seriously sighed and said that Zhang Shenfu was too maverick, and he didn't have much contact with him in Huangpu, but since he could launch such a big movement, he naturally had more understanding of the current situation.

Deng Yanda frowned slightly, he agreed in his heart that Ji Fang was the general manager of the party's northern affairs, according to his report, after the Rehe Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Shenfu proposed to reconcile with Chiang Kai-shek and go to the national disaster together, and had a dispute with Ji Fang, so he brushed his sleeves away again.

At this time, the joy when the two met had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a wisp of heaviness, Deng Yanda obviously did not want to give up the idea of opposing Chiang's resistance, and seriously insisted that it was time to change course.

"There is a judgment of the Cultural Revolution," and he finally returned to the path of trying to persuade Deng Yanda: "He believes that a full-scale war between China and China may break out within three years at the earliest." ”

Deng Yanda was shocked, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "Three years!" Impossible! ”

"It's not impossible, it's very likely," Zheng then elaborated on Zhuang Jihua's analysis one by one: "..., I think his analysis is reasonable, the danger of war breaking out within three years is very great, choose life, within three years, can we completely defeat Chiang Kai-shek?" Can the situation after Chiang Kai-shek's departure be controlled? Will the various local factions obey the new center? ”

"Of course..."

As soon as Deng Yanda's words fell, he seriously and resolutely interrupted him: "No, choose your life, you are wrong, the contradiction between the local factions and the central government is natural and irreversible, the central government wants to cut the feudal domain, control the finances, and control the personnel, it will inevitably have conflicts with the localities, so they will not care who presides over the central government, if it is Chiang Kai-shek, they will oppose Chiang, and if it is you Deng Zesheng, they will oppose Deng."

However, if the central authorities do not control that, the central authorities will have no money to raise the army, no money to resist the war, and no money to carry out construction. Therefore, three years is absolutely not enough. ”

Deng Yanda was dumbfounded, and continued seriously: "These reforms implemented by Zhuang Wenge in Yucheng have spent a lot of energy on Liu Xiang and them, and every step is a game of interests, and no one is willing to give up their rights and interests in vain. ”

Deng Yanda thought about it carefully, and then shook his head for a long time and said, "Three years? No, no, no, Qiyuan, Zhuang Cultural Revolution is probably too pessimistic. According to the information I have received, after the new cabinet came to power, it was perplexed by the rising tide of opposition in China, and absolutely revised its policy toward China and replaced military confrontation with diplomacy. ”

looked at him in serious surprise, and suddenly he figured it out: "You, you won't have any connection with Yuben, right?" ”

"We don't, Chen Jitang does, he has already sent Chen Youren to Yueben's activities, hoping that Yueben can provide arms." Deng Yanda didn't deny it, but he didn't completely tell the truth, but he seriously guessed that the arms were so easy to take.

"I really didn't expect that," said in severe pain, "you are so unscrupulous, the whole country is rebelling, you actually go to make a deal with Yuben, you...., it really disappoints me." ”

Deng Yanda's face was slightly red, and he argued: "Qi Yuan, we didn't make a deal with Yu himself, it was Chen Jitang who made a deal with Yu himself, of course we didn't stop it, this is just a matter of strategy, and after overthrowing Chiang Kai-shek, we will slowly settle the account." ”

"Sophistry!" Seriously shouted, his face turned red, pointing at Deng Yanda, trembling, his eyes were full of disappointment: "Under the banner of resistance, but in private he made a deal with himself, where is this anti-Yan, this is anti-Jiang under the banner of anti-Yu." Choosing a life, you have to change your course, either stop this practice immediately, or our party immediately withdraw from this incident, otherwise..., I will quit, I... I cut off my robe and break off my friendship with you. ”

Withdrawing and cutting off his robe, Deng Yanda was shocked again, as if he didn't know anything serious, looking at his excited demeanor, Deng Yanda felt for the first time whether it was really time to adjust.

It is true that the third party did not directly interact with Yue himself, but it knew about Chen Jitang's actions. His behavior also caused fierce controversy within the third party, Chen Mingshu and Huang Qixiang were clearly opposed, he and Li Jishen had a difficult choice, Ji Fang Zhang Bojun one was in the north and the other was in Nanyang did not know the details, but Chen Youren and Tan Pingshan expressed their approval, believing that this was an expedient measure, and the overthrow of Chiang Kai-shek was the most important matter, and all actions should be done around this major event.

"Qi Yuan, calm down!" Deng Yanda shouted to stop the serious gaffe, he grabbed his shoulder and looked him in the eyes: "We have been dating for twenty years, don't you know who I am!" Am I Deng Yanda a traitor? ”

A series of questions calmed down seriously, and Deng Yanda continued: "It takes a process to change the strategy, and it takes to convince the comrades of the whole party. ”

Seriously calm down, Deng Yanda is definitely not a traitor, even if you chop him into meat sauce, he will never betray the country, otherwise he will never have a conflict with the Comintern when he is the weakest, however, he still feels a deep crisis, if it were Deng Yanda back then, he would never sit back and watch such a thing happen.

"Choosing a life, you have been under too much pressure over the years, I suggest you stop and think about it, what should you do, how should you take the road of the Chinese revolution?" looked at Deng Yanda's tired face seriously, and said heavily.

"The revolution pays attention to strategy, but this strategy must have a bottom line, paper can't contain the fire, I dare to say, once Chen Jitang's collusion with himself is exposed, not only the whole country will unanimously oppose it, even the officers and men of the Guangdong army will never do it, although the two Guangzhous have not yet started an incident, but they have already been defeated."

Serious words deeply stung Deng Yanda and shook Deng Yanda, do you still want to get together with Chiang Kai-shek in the end? Deng Yanda fell into deep thought.

"The War of Resistance is the War of Resistance of the Whole Nation, we can support Chiang Kai-shek's War of Resistance and recognize him as the leader of the War of Resistance, but it does not mean that we give up our principles and our program, we can still oppose his reading of talents, and at the same time we can promote him to resist the war to the end."

The serious words made Deng Yanda's eyes suddenly brighten, and he nodded: "You are right, but such a major decision must be discussed with the comrades and let everyone turn the corner." ”

Zhuang Jihua did not act with the troops, but rushed to Ya'an first, and by the time he arrived in Ya'an, the battle by the Jinsha River had completely changed.

Long Yun gathered 50,000 horses by the Jinsha River, under the unified command of Sun Du, to cross the river to arrest the murderer. Liu Yuantang and Chen Guangzao joined forces, but the troops were still far from enough, and the two sent a telegram a day to Liu Wenhui, who was far away in Ya'an, for help.
