The next day, Chiang Kai-shek, still suffering from chest pain, did not attend the congress and again submitted his resignation to the Military Council as commander of the First Army. Wang Jingwei was very dissatisfied in his heart, you Chiang Kai-shek was dissatisfied with Ji Jiashan, and you can't use the party meeting to vent your anger, besides, the Second National Congress is the first congress presided over by Wang Jingwei as chairman, and this congress must be complete and successful. Wang Jingwei was very angry, but he had to think of a way, so he had to find Zhang Jingjiang to mobilize Chiang Kai-shek to participate in the congress.

Of course, Zhang Jingjiang knew the reason for Chiang Kai-shek's illness, but for some reason, he neither refused nor agreed, but only told Wang Jingwei that the bell must be tied to the bell, and the bell must be tied first, so he can say something.

Ji Jiashan's high hopes for Wang Jingwei and Luo Jia Juefu visited Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek seemed to have been prepared for their arrival, he put down the book in his hand and raised his buttocks slightly, and simply invited them to sit down, and then said nothing, Ji Jiashan, who did not understand Chinese culture, did not feel any difference in the treatment he received from Borodin.

Ji Jiashan is a typical Russian soldier who likes to get straight to the point and open his mouth to the Northern Expedition: "General Chiang, I will not support the Northern Expedition proposal, because only with the current army in Guangdong, the Northern Expedition will not be victorious, even if it wins a temporary military victory, it will be a political defeat." ”

Chiang Kai-shek asked coldly and calmly: "Why did Mr. Adviser say this?" ”

"The army in Guangdong is far from being a pure revolutionary army, the political consciousness of the soldiers is not high, and the defection of senior officers will lead to a mutiny of the entire army, so the Northern Expedition will not be possible until there is a marked improvement in the political and ideological work of the army." Ji Jiashan talked eloquently, not noticing the drastic change in Chiang Kai-shek's face.

"That's the case in Turkey, where the revolution is ultimately stolen by the scholars, so we have to prevent this from now on in China." Ji Jiashan continued.

"So who does Mr. Consultant think will be China's Kemal?" Chiang Kai-shek's tone was as cold as the ice of winter.

"It's not who it is, it's the current situation, most of the Chinese soldiers only know their commanders, and they don't understand much about the revolutionary principles." Roga Juev explained.

Kemal was the leader of the revolution in Turkey, after the First World War, there was a serious national crisis in Turkey, the Entente [***] team occupied Istanbul, Turkey was in danger of being partitioned, Kemal led the army to resist, in which Soviet Russia provided a lot of aid to Kemal, but Kemal banned Turkey after the victory, and was regarded as a traitor by the Comintern.

Ji Jiashan's words made Chiang Kai-shek feel threatened, and looking at the military circles in Guangdong, only Chiang Kai-shek was qualified to become Kemal, and the army he commanded was the most powerful army in Guangdong, and he was also the person with the highest political status among the army generals.

"Mr. Advisor can just say it, don't worry about it." Chiang Kai-shek was angry in his heart, and his tone was even colder.

"Not yet," Ji Jiashan, of course, could not say that Chiang Kai-shek would become Kemal: "But the reality is that the army is loyal to the generals, not to the revolution." This is the soil in which new warlords are born. ”

Chiang Kai-shek snorted coldly and did not answer, he felt that he had nothing to say.

"General Chiang, we have noticed your proposal for the Northern Expedition, you think that the northern warlords are vulnerable, no, you are wrong, the northern warlords are still strong, look at the map of China and know that the area they control far exceeds the national political axe, and their army numbers and equipment far exceed that of the National Revolutionary Army." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Luo Jia Juefu hurriedly diverted the topic and talked about another issue of the Northern Expedition.

Chiang Kai-shek was secretly angry in his heart, the Northern Expedition was originally a corner of the enemy of the whole country, and it was a small enemy of the big one, and a simple comparison of numbers could not explain the situation, according to their statement, the Northern Expedition would never be able to be carried out.

"Then when can I take care of Mr. Qian's reason for the Northern Expedition?" Chiang Kai-shek said sarcastically.

"The Northern Expedition must first look down on our enemy, and only when we understand who the enemy is, can we carry out the Northern Expedition." Ji Jiashan spoke very quickly, but his words made Chiang Kai-shek a little strange, the enemy is naturally a warlord, what is there not to understand.

"At present, our main enemy is the warlord Zhang Zuolin in the northeast, and militarily it is the main force to strike at the enemy, so we should first unite to eliminate Zhang Zuolin." Roga Juefu added, taking a sip of tea from his cup, then chewing the tea and swallowing it.

Chiang Kai-shek was a little conscious now, it turned out that the reason for their opposition to the Northern Expedition was here, and they united to eliminate Zhang Zuolin, he remembered the intelligence report sent by the Intelligence Department a few days ago, Feng Yuxiang, Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, and Yan Xishan joined forces to fight against Zhang Zuolin and his branch Zhilu coalition army, Zhili was Feng Yuxiang against Zhang Zuolin, and Henan and Shandong were Yue Weijun, Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang against Zhang Zongchang and Li Jinglin.

"What do you mean is that we should join forces with Wu Peifu to eliminate Zhang Zuolin together." Chiang Kai-shek sneered in his heart, this is simply funny.

"There are not only Wu Peifu, but also two generals, Sun Chuanfang and Feng Yuxiang." Ji Jiashan thought that Chiang Kai-shek understood his strategic intentions, and a smile appeared on his face.

"But we are in the southernmost part of China, and Zhang Zuolin is in the northernmost part, and the distance between is too far." Chiang Kai-shek teased Ji Jiashan for a long time.

"Well, that's a problem, so I envisage that the army can be transported to Tianjin by sea and landed, or you can go to Vladivostok, where you can train a few divisions, and where to launch an attack on Zhang Zuolin." Ji Jiashan threw out his own idea, and Chiang Kai-shek was both shocked and angry when he heard it.

Maritime army, funny! It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it's too deceitful. Chiang Kai-shek's anger arose, and he blushed and asked: "How to transport it by sea?" ”

"Shipping is very troublesome, but it can be solved, but if it doesn't work, we can be responsible for the Soviet Navy, which is the most powerful navy in the world, and imperialism does not dare to interfere." Ji Jiashan found that Chiang Kai-shek's face was not good, and his tone was not as confident as just now.

"Actually, we haven't finalized which plan to take, maybe another way is better." Perhaps Luo Jia Juefu and Ji Jiashan discussed this issue, and the two couldn't make up their minds about that plan.

Chiang Kai-shek had no intention of continuing the discussion with them, and he was utterly disappointed that neither option was acceptable, and that the latter was all the more alarming to him.

"The party army has proven that General Chiang is an expert in military training, and there is no problem in training five or six elite soldiers in Vladivostok within a year, and it is easier to get our support." Roga Juev began to put a high hat on Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek said perfunctorily: "General Galen is even more powerful, you can make him responsible." ”

"General Galen is a Soviet, and only Chinese can lead the Chinese army." Ji Jiashan said.

Using me to seek benefits for your Soviet Russia, wishful thinking, Chiang Kai-shek pouted and said: "I am Jiang Lang's talent, and my health is not good, I really can't bear such a heavy responsibility, you can consider Li Jishen or Zhu Peide, and Ye Ting can also do it, he is a member of [***], it is better for you to talk to each other." ”

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he picked up the book, obviously giving an order to expel the guest, Ji Jiashan and Luo Jia Juefu felt bored, chatted a few more words without giving up, and then got up to say goodbye.

After they left, the more Chiang Kai-shek thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, he grabbed the teacup and smashed it on the ground in a rage, Chen Jieru heard the sound and came out of the house, but he heard a second sound, but it was Chiang Kai-shek who smashed the second teacup on the ground.

Chen Jieru walked quickly to Chiang Kai-shek and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek was shy, his chest rose and fell, and he waved his arms and scolded loudly: "Niang Xipi! Niang Xipi! It's too much of a deception! It's too much of a deception! ”

Chen Jieru frowned, looking at Chiang Kai-shek walking back and forth with worry, every time she encountered this kind of thing, she waited for Chiang Kai-shek to vent for a period of time, and then slowly persuaded her.

After Chiang Kai-shek vented, he took a long breath, and Chen Jieru came behind him, gently pinched his shoulders, and said tentatively: "Since we are not satisfied, why don't we go back to Fenghua to rest for a while?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and didn't speak, and Chen Jieru said again: "Aren't they just two advisers, it's a big deal, I don't want them advisers." ”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled bitterly when he heard this, it was good that things were so simple, Chen Jieru didn't see his expression and continued: "If you agree, you will stay, and if you don't agree, you will go, didn't you often say this before." ”

"You don't understand, you can't do that now." Chiang Kai-shek snapped the small hand on his shoulder, he used to hold ordinary positions, not to mention that the prime minister was still there, and he could walk away at that time, but now he can't go.

Zhuang Jihua began to gradually hand over the work of the intelligence department to Chen Lifu, Chen Lifu is very smart, everything is thorough, and his American thinking and conversation are also very compatible with Zhuang Jihua. Perhaps the only thing that was not revealed was the intention to infiltrate the navy, which Zhuang Jihua did so cautiously that there was almost no progress.

Before this, except for quietly helping [***] find a stick, Zhuang Jihua did not hide anything from Chiang Kai-shek, he almost opened all the doors to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek knew his political tendencies and the work of the intelligence department well, so Chiang Kai-shek was very confident that Zhuang Jihua could fully believe it, of course, this is also the idea that Zhuang Jihua wanted Chiang Kai-shek to have, only in this way can safety be ensured.

In his view, the Northern Expedition is a sure thing, and whether or not the Northern Expedition can be carried out depends on three things: the army, finance, and his three bills.

In addition to the presidium, the conference did not give delegates a fixed seat, but each representative has a number, for example, Zhuang Jihua's number is xxx; The seats of the deputies can be seen from the political groups represented, [***] members, such as Jiang Xianyun, Li Zhilong, Jin Fozhuang and others are on the left, Sun Ke, Wu Chaoshu and others are sitting on the right side, and in the middle are Chen Gongbo, Zhang Jingjiang and others, Zhuang Jihua and Zeng Kuoqing are also mixed in these people.

"Cultural Revolution, do you think the Northern Expedition is feasible?" Zeng asked in a low voice that was puzzled, and Yang Kuangan on the stage was shouting that the time for the Northern Expedition had not yet arrived.

"It's okay to say yes, it's not okay to say no, it's just boring and a waste of time." Zhuang Jihua was thinking about how to infiltrate the navy, when his train of thought was suddenly interrupted, he was not angry in his heart, and there was a trace of impatience in his tone.

Zeng Guangqing was stunned, the debate between the two sides was so fierce, Zhuang Jihua was so indifferent, he was a little dissatisfied and a little puzzled: "Then tell me why at this time?" ”

Zhuang Jihua helplessly put down what he was thinking and explained in a low voice: "This bill itself is just a tendency, and even if it is passed, it will not be a northern expedition tomorrow; Even if it is not passed, as long as the political, financial and military forces are ready, they can be launched immediately. ”

Zeng Guangqing nodded and then shook his head again: "This is making political preparations, if it is passed, wouldn't it be political preparations, and once it is passed, won't it be financially prepared?" ”

"Brother Enlargement, if you think about it, we are already in the war now, and there are already war funds in the finances, how can a shrewd person like Minister Song not be prepared, so there is no problem financially; Politically, the Northern Expedition to gain national power was originally a bipartisan consensus, and now it is only a matter of talking about when it will be launched, and the difference between 50 steps and 100 steps. ”

Zhuang Jihua's explanation made Zeng Guangqing understand, but it opened Zhuang Jihua's own thinking, since both parties take the Northern Expedition as their own responsibility, then they should understand this truth, since this is the case, what else can they argue? Zhuang Jihua thought for a moment but still couldn't get the point.

"In that case, then vote for it, the Northern Expedition is the last wish of the prime minister and the wish of the principal." Zeng Guangqing said.

A word woke up the person in the dream, so it was, Zhuang Jihua smiled. Zeng Guangqing looked at him inexplicably.

"Then support it." Zhuang Jihua smiled and said to Zeng Kuoqing, but he was wondering whether to help Chiang Kai-shek.

The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains must be famous in history, and the promoters must gain great prestige, Chiang Kai-shek saw through this, so he spared no effort to promote the Northern Expedition proposal.

Compared with Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin, the gap between Chiang Kai-shek is in prestige, the army has it, and the military has it, as long as the prestige goes up, once the time comes, who can take the first person in the Kuomintang besides him?

"To satisfy him, or not to satisfy him?" Zhuang Jihua hesitated, this chip is not easy to play, and Zhuang Jihua still decided to wait and see what happened.

"Colonel Zhuang, your idea is too simple, how can Mr. Yang not know, even if he doesn't know, how can Ji Jiashan or Borodin not know."

Zhuang Jihua turned his head to see a middle-aged man in a Chinese-style robe, this person had slightly pockmarked skin, a few short beards under his chin, and a wide mouth that added a bit of roughness to him.

"Sir?" Zhuang Jihua asked suspiciously.

The man smiled and said: "In Xia Feng, the word is impermanent, from Hefei, Anhui, that is, the hometown of Duan Hefei. ”

Zhuang Jihua immediately had a good impression of him, this kind of person who can make jokes about himself must be a good person with a bold surname. He whispered, "Why did you say that, sir?" ”

"It's not simple, Mr. Yang is against it because Ji Jiashan and Borodin are against it, and Ji Jiashan and Borodin are against it because Moscow is against it." Feng's weird smile was even more weird with the pockmarks on his face.

Zhuang Jihua immediately understood that he was right, Ji Jiashan was a consultant and a representative of Moscow, and his opinion was actually the opinion of Moscow, Moscow must have seen something, maybe it was planning something, so he did not approve of the current Northern Expedition, and he couldn't even make a posture of the Northern Expedition, the only explanation was that this plan was related to Wu Peifu. Zhuang Jihua secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and couldn't help but admire Feng Yi's vision, he still lost a clan, and his knowledge was not as good as ......, Zhuang Jihua's face was hot.

"Sir is clever, admire and admire." Zhuang Jihua is sincerely admired, Feng Yi was stunned, and he didn't seem to expect Zhuang Jihua to figure out the joints so quickly.

"Colonel, I would like to ask below, can the purpose of the Russians be achieved?" Feng Wei asked.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "Impossible, it can only be to shoot yourself in the foot, no matter Feng Yuxiang or Wu Peifu, it will not be as they intended." The biggest possibility is that Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin teamed up to deal with Feng Yuxiang, and Feng Yuxiang would not completely listen to them, they had to come to us in the end. ”

Feng Yi was deeply surprised, he has always been conceited, when he was young, he traveled all over the country, and then studied in Europe, it can be said that he studied through China and the West, he did not like the looseness of the Kuomintang, and did not like the radical aggressiveness of [***], he had observed Wu Peifu's military training in Luoyang, and went to the northeast to check the reality of the Feng system, and finally joined the Kuomintang It was helpless, and he was elected as a representative of the Second National Congress because he wanted to see the characters in Guangzhou.

He saw the intentions of the Russians, but he couldn't grasp the movements of Feng Yuxiang and Wu Peifu. In his opinion, it is a win-win situation for the two to join forces, Feng Yuxiang blocked Zhang Zuolin of the Feng Department, Wu Peifu teamed up with Sun Chuanfang and Yue Weijun to attack Zhang Zongchang in Shandong, and there should not be much difficulty in taking Shandong, and then set up a political axe in the north.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Jihua vetoed Wu Feng's alliance, which surprised him greatly: "Can the colonel explain in detail?" ”

Feng Wei's gesture of asking for advice made Zhuang Jihua a little uneasy: "Don't dare to ask for advice, you can discuss it with Mr., if it is not right, please ask Mr. for advice." ”

After being polite, Zhuang Jihua said solemnly: "In fact, the situation has been shown, Feng Yuxiang sent a telegram to the wilderness, indicating that he knew everything about Wu Peifu's hatred of him, and he hoped that after he went into the wilderness, Zhang Zhijiang would be able to reach an agreement with Wu Peifu and join forces to deal with Zhang Zuolin, but Wu Peifu would not be fooled, Feng Yuxiang's betrayal last time made him feel painful, so he would never forgive Feng Yuxiang." ”
