Of course, there is nothing wrong with Wang Jingwei's brain, and even if he has a problem, there is nothing wrong with the rest of the national political axe. Song Ziwen then talked about Guangxi's finances, and Guangxi's annual fiscal revenue is only more than 2 million oceans, and the army needs more than 200,000 oceans every month, and the financial deficit is too great.

Hearing this, Zhuang Jihua somewhat understood, because he was unwilling to provide finance for Guangxi, so he simply gave up the local government. Short-sighted, Zhuang Jihua unceremoniously gave a two-word evaluation in his heart. How can the central power relinquish the power of local control?

Zhuang Jihua whispered to Li Zhilong: "In the future, other provinces will do the same, will it be the same?" ”

Li Zhilong whispered: "How can it be done, this is a special case." ”

As soon as Song Ziwen mentioned money, others stopped talking, Zhu Peide and Tan Yankai stopped talking, the financial revenue of the national political axe is only so much, and Guangxi will share the pie again, and the other armies will be even less.

Now the question is how to reply to Guangxi, Li Zongren and Huang Shaohong put on a hot face, you give a cold ass, won't it chill the hearts of others, not to mention that people also yearn for revolution, at least tens of thousands of troops are effective.

The venue suddenly quieted down, Li Zhilong didn't know if it was because of the sea breeze, his voice was much louder than when he was in the military academy, even if he lowered his voice, it was louder in the quiet venue.

Wang Jingwei looked at Li Zhilong and Zhuang Jihua, and suddenly smiled: "In Tian, the Cultural Revolution, you also talk about how to reply to Guangxi." ”

Li Zhilong is known to many people, after all, he was Borodin's translator, although he is a major general, but Zhuang Jihua has attracted the attention of everyone in the venue, this young man has been in the limelight recently, Sha Ji dared to shoot, and Xiong Kewu was eaten to death, and he was able to take over the training of 20,000 Sichuan troops in his twenties, and a company made the British unspeakable. Scheming and scheming, the current better financial situation and prestige of the national political axe are largely due to his efforts.

Li Zhilong stood up and said, "Since the financial situation does not allow it, I agree with Minister Song's proposal just now. ”

"Cultural Revolution, what is your opinion?"

Zhuang Jihua slowly stood up after a while, he looked at the venue, the bosses were staring at him, he was a little puzzled, what happened to these people, Wang Jingwei didn't pay so much attention to what he said just now.

"He believes that the central government should be in charge, and he should not only take over Guangxi's finances, but also take over Guangxi's political power, party power, and military power."

Song Ziwenxin said that I said so much just now, you didn't hear the feelings, but look at this young officer wearing a military uniform, a standard military standing posture, with a hint of elegance in his might, and a vigorous and heroic spirit between his eyebrows, although his official position is low, he is neither humble nor arrogant, his attitude is calm, and he has a little good feeling in his heart, so he only frowned slightly and asked: "I just said a lot, the financial situation does not allow it, Guangxi's financial gap is too big, and the political axe can't afford it." ”

"I didn't think about it from a financial point of view," Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly at Song Ziwen, that is, he already knew his reason: "The national political axe is the central political axe, and it has the jurisdiction of the whole country. What about the same wealthy places? Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai are also looking for this old example; This is one of them; ”

This former reason has already made everyone feel that the original intention is a little inappropriate, but I didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to have a second reason.

Second, as the central political axe, if it is left alone because of poverty, this will undermine the prestige of the central political axe. Third, Guangxi is poor now, and if it is rich, the central government will ask for it again, and will people still be willing to give it? ”

Zhuang Jihua felt that his tone was too hard, so he said in a gentle tone: "I mainly consider it politically, especially after the end of the Eastern Crusade, the national political axe will inevitably raise the flag to the north and fulfill the premier's last wish; Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, one of these three provinces will inevitably be taken by us in the next few years, and once our military operations go smoothly, the number of local warlords who have taken refuge in us will inevitably increase. In addition, our goal is to eliminate the warlords, and it is easy for the local government to cultivate new warlords, and from this point of view alone, I think it is necessary to take back all the power in Guangxi. ”

Although he couldn't talk about waking up the people in his dream, Zhuang Jihua's words also made the conference room talk a lot, and after a while, Tan Yankai laughed twice: "I think Lieutenant Colonel Zhuang's words make sense, the warlords are because they control the local financial power, not only because of the army, this precedent cannot be opened, Chairman Wang, I think we should still consider taking Guangxi back." ”

As soon as Tan Yankai's words fell, Zhuang Jihua felt that he had been fooled, what kind of person is Tan Yankai, an old politician, an old fox who has cultivated well, so he can't see this, he just doesn't want to offend people, and now he uses Zhuang Jihua's words to say his true thoughts. And after finishing speaking, he deliberately looked at Zhuang Jihua with appreciation.

Zhuang Jihua was so angry, he wouldn't open his mouth next time he killed Lao Tzu, he scolded in his heart. In fact, he was wrong, everyone here rolled out of the warlord pile, since the Republic of China, the finances of various places have always been self-managed, the central government basically does not care, and the central government has no money, so their thinking has been solidified, since the finance does not allow it, then let Guangxi take care of itself, anyway, it was like this before. But Zhuang Jihua's words opened another door and made them look at this problem from another angle, but the old foxes naturally quickly discovered that something was wrong, and thought farther and deeper than Zhuang Jihua. However, they don't say these things easily, because after all, they will offend Song Ziwen, the god of wealth.

As soon as Tan Yankai expressed his position, the meeting became one-sided, and they all supported the recovery of Guangxi, but Song Ziwen did not speak, he was also rethinking, in fact, he had no malicious intentions, he just thought that when the armies asked him for money, he could take out the money. Now he thinks financially, Zhuang Jihua thinks politically, and with his knowledge, he naturally knows that politics takes precedence.

Wang Jingwei saw that Song Ziwen no longer insisted on the original intention, and knew that the time had come to make a decision, so he said in a decisive tone: "Since there are no objections, then it is decided, and with the comprehensive takeover of Guangxi as our goal, the central political axe sent people to discuss specific measures with Li Zongren and Huang Shaohong. ”

Li Zhilong looked at Zhuang Jihua in a daze, he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua's words to change the decision of the meeting, his eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Zhuang Jihua, but Zhuang Jihua didn't pay attention.

Wang Jingwei continued: "I think Minister Song must go, and you will also have a hard time going to the public expo. ”

Before Wang Jingwei's words were finished, Zhuang Jihua saw a young man in a suit stand up and say to Wang Jingwei: "Chairman Wang, Sun Yat-sen University's overlord education has just ended, and the situation in the school is still very unstable. ”

"Sit, sit down." Wang Jingwei said calmly: "I know, Minister Song went because he wanted to talk about finance, you went because he wanted to talk about party affairs and political power, you have engaged in party affairs, and you are also in charge of the Department of Agriculture and Industry, the director of the Political Training Department, you are familiar with party affairs and government affairs, and you are the most suitable candidate, so you don't have to refuse, I will personally inquire about Sun Yat-sen University, and there will be nothing wrong." ”

Zhuang Jihua quietly asked Li Zhilong: "Who is this person, you be quiet." ”

"Chen Gongbo, I'm back from the United States." Li Zhilong suppressed his voice again and again, and finally did not alarm the others.

Chen Gongbo, it seems to be Han Jian, I didn't expect to be so young, and he is dignified and personable.

"In addition, the Cultural Revolution will also go." Wang Jingwei said as he looked up at Zhuang Jihua.

Let me go! Under the sudden attack, Zhuang Jihua was a little stupid, he didn't understand what Wang Jingwei's purpose was. Look at the people in the conference room, he has the lowest position, the youngest, does he have any friendship with Li Zongren and Huang Shaohong, why did he send him.

He immediately stood up and said, "Chairman Wang, is it appropriate for me to go?" Many of the seniors here are more suitable than me. ”

"I think it's suitable, but your position is a little lower, so the military commissar decided that in view of Lieutenant Colonel Zhuang Jihua's outstanding performance in the reorganization of the Jianguo Sichuan Army, he will be promoted to colonel."

This order made Zhuang Jihua stupid again, how could he be promoted while talking, and the lieutenant colonel became a colonel.

"Alright, adjourn." Wang Jingwei said loudly, Zhuang Jihua was still standing there dumbfounded, his mind was chaotic, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

was thinking wildly, suddenly someone patted him on the forehead and explained it thoroughly, and looked up at Tan Yankai, the old fox who had become a fine spirit, and saw him smile and said: "I don't know the true face of Lushan only because I am in this mountain, it is rare, rare." ”

Without waiting for Zhuang Jihua to speak, he left by himself, Zhuang Jihua thought a little bored, what to say, I don't know the true face of Lushan only because I am in this mountain, what does it mean?

Then Wang Jingwei walked to his side again and said with a smile on his face: "Cultural Revolution, do it well, the national political axe will not treat anyone badly." Then he said to Li Zhilong: "In Tian, the political work of the navy must be stepped up, and in addition, smuggling still needs to be investigated. ”

After saying that, he smiled at the two and left, Zhuang Jihua was still inexplicable, it might have been normal at the beginning of a few days, but what happened later made him scratch his head.
