Section 2 Resources Committee (4)

Zhuang Jihua's supplement did not ease Chiang Kai-shek's heart in the slightest, whether pessimistic or optimistic, Chiang Kai-shek could not imagine that a full-scale war would break out in China within ten years, after 918, Chiang Kai-shek pursued a policy of concessions, because he judged that the appetite of the book would not be so big, the goal was the northeast, after swallowing the northeast, it would take at least five years to digest the book, and five years were very optimistic estimates, the three eastern provinces were larger than the local area of the city, and it would take ten years to digest such a large piece of land according to the convention. Could it be that you can't wait? Chiang Kai-shek was somewhat unconvinced.

"The principal is wrong," Zhuang Jihua said very solemnly after listening to Chiang Kai-shek's judgment: "The reason for the growth of the ambition of the three eastern provinces is that the three eastern provinces are too cheap, only less than 100,000 troops were used, and the loss was only a few thousand, and the benefits and efforts were not proportional at all. ”

Chiang Kai-shek stood up, paced back and forth on the trail with his hands behind his back, the Central Plains War finally pacified the three largest opposition forces in the country, and finally was able to free up his hands to deal with the powerful [***], I thought that a gang of bandits, the soldiers would be wiped out as soon as they arrived, but I didn't expect that none of the three consecutive encirclement and suppression were successful, whether it was Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Hunan, Western Hubei or Jiangxi were defeated, just when preparing for the fourth encirclement and suppression, it happened 918, and the good situation that once appeared after the Central Plains War in a year was immediately wiped out, God, Why can't you just give me more time? Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but sigh at the sky.

"We have to suppress the Communist Party and prepare for war against each other, coupled with natural disasters for many years, officials in various places are martial arts and frolic, without the slightest sense of distress, and they only know how to talk and enjoy themselves, and the country is in danger." Zeng Guangqing's voice was extremely sluggish.

"Now I have to remember that I have a lot of land and resources in China, and there are many talents, and I want to destroy us, but it is just a fool's dream, principal, the students ask for their orders to lead the troops to the north and prepare for war in Rehe." Song Xilian rose up and generously asked for war, he was also shaken after 4.12, and applied to go to the book, nominally to study military affairs, but in fact he wanted to avoid the complex political situation in the country, in the book he participated in the anti-Japanese activities of the Chinese, arrested several times, returned to China in 30 years, and made great contributions during the 128th Songhu Anti-Japanese War, and was promoted to deputy commander of the 87th Division and commander of the 161st Brigade.

"Meng Guo, don't get excited," He Jinhan got up and pulled Song Xilian back to his seat, and then said: "In the short term, we can't raise the national strength to the same level as the book, so I think the most important thing for us at present is to clear up politics and revitalize the party's morale. If you want to save the country, you should first revitalize the party, and remove all those [***] elements and degenerate elements from the party. ”

"Slap, slap," Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but high-five: "Junshan's idea is very good, but it can only solve part of the problem, one of the biggest problems in the country is that the war is continuous, and the country's strength is constantly being consumed, so stopping the civil war is another important issue, principal, I know you want to suppress the Communist Party, but now the national contradiction is the first, all walks of life want to stop the civil war, the principal insists on suppressing the Communist Party and conflicts with the society's hopes, principal, this is a taboo for politicians, so the students suggest that the principal propose national reconciliation and publicly declare his willingness to fight with [***] Peace talks, eliminate the flames of war, and jointly resist foreign humiliation. ”

"Peace talks with [***]? The Cultural Revolution is whimsical. Yu Jishi said while handing a look to Zhuang Jihua, he is the person who has been by Chiang Kai-shek's side for the longest time, and he knows Chiang Kai-shek's surname very well. ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at Chiang Kai-shek, and saw that Chiang Kai-shek didn't say anything, just listened quietly, and thought silently, so he smiled: "There is no certainty about anything, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if [***] doesn't do it, but what about Soviet Russia?" Soviet Russia will definitely do it, as long as Soviet Russia decides, [***] can only agree. ”

"What is the most feared thing in Soviet Russia? It is a two-front war, and it is said that the occupation of the three eastern provinces is a pain in the skin for us, and for Soviet Russia, it is a loud alarm, if there is a change in Europe, and the three eastern provinces are used as a springboard to launch an attack on their Far East region, then it is not impossible for Soviet Russia to lose the country, so the fall of the three eastern provinces provides an opportunity to improve Sino-Soviet relations, and the two countries can sit down and talk because of the real threat. As long as the negotiations with Soviet Russia are clear, the [***] problem will be solved. ”

"Headmaster, I thought this was a good idea, at least I could put the charge of not resisting the political axe on [***]." He Jinhan smiled slightly: "The principal proposed reconciliation, if [***] does not do it, they should bear the charge of not resisting, and the people will not be able to accuse the political axe, at least we can take the initiative." ”

Zhuang Jihua secretly praised in his heart when he heard this, He Zhenhan was indeed quick to react, and immediately came up with such a clever move, according to his limited historical knowledge, the leader of [***] at this time should be Wang Ming's fool, this pure Bolshevik will almost certainly be fooled.

"What if they say yes?" Chiang Kai-shek suddenly asked coldly, Zhuang Jihua's heart sank, he understood that Chiang Kai-shek still refused to give up the idea of suppressing the Communist Party by force, He Jinhan was stunned for a moment and immediately changed his tone: "It's better if you agree, hand over the army and territory, we will recognize their legal status, and give them one or two empty ministers." ”

"You are all fools when [***]," Chiang Kai-shek snorted coldly: "Cultural Revolution, what do you think?" ”

"The Communist Party is a political problem, not a military problem, and a simple force cannot solve the problem, a political solution is the best policy," Zhuang Jihua was very calm after understanding Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts Since you want to suppress the Communists, then I can't do anything: "I propose to negotiate with them on such terms, reorganize the troops, give them the number of three or four divisions, their political axes can be retained, changed to the political axes of the Special Administrative Region, as for the size can be negotiated, and they must stop [***] actions, stop the radical land policy and the recognized policy, Cease to control regional development organizations in our territory. ”

"Cultural Revolution, you are wrong, it is impossible for me to destroy us, in the long run, only the Communist Party can destroy us, so our struggle with them is your life and death, you want to reconcile with them, but they will think that we are weaker than him, so they will open their mouths and create public opinion, when the time comes, we will be more passive, it is better to fight first, and then we will talk later." Chiang Kai-shek was silent for so long and finally made a decision, although the situation was dangerous, but it was not impossible to save it, and he was preparing for war while suppressing the communists.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, since it is irretrievable, there is no need to waste his lips and tongues: "Since the principal has decided, then so be it, the internal worries will be dealt with by the principal, and I will go to establish a national defense industry." ”

"The tone is not small," Song Meiling smiled slightly: "It takes a lot of money to establish a national defense industry." ”

"This," Zhuang Jihua pondered: "I have made some money in the United States in the past few years, well, the perfect national defense industry is estimated to be insufficient, and I think it is enough for the primary level." ”

"How much money do you make?" Although Song Xilian has not gone through business, he also knows how much money is needed for the national defense industry, and a steel plant in the former Qing Dynasty spent hundreds of taels of silver.

"I didn't bring much back to China this time, only 100 million US dollars, this is the first phase of investment, and so on after the situation opens, follow-up funds will come one after another, but money is a trivial matter, mainly equipment, funds will be bought in the United States and Europe into equipment to ship, after the Great Depression, there are many factories in the United States bankrupt, I plan to buy these factories as a whole, and then ship them back to China, which can save a lot of time, but I am now worried about skilled workers, in addition to experts, experts can hire some abroad, but this is not a long-term solution after all, there is still a way, I don't know much about the state of roads and railways in Sichuan, I estimate that I have to invest some money to build roads, and there are resources, I need iron ore, coal mines, copper mines, aluminum mines, dozens of factories and mines, as well as railways and roads, I'm afraid it will take nearly a billion dollars, and the other billion dollars I am preparing for accidents,...., you..., what's wrong with you...? Zhuang Jihua recalled as he spoke, he didn't have the idea to look around, but suddenly looked up and found that everyone was looking at him in a daze.

Silence, silence over and over again, Zhuang Jihua looked at them and said carefully: "This plan is very imperfect, there are many loopholes, principal, you can refer to it for me." ”

"Cultural Revolution, how much money did you earn when you fell to the ground?" Zeng asked softly.

"I don't know how much, but it's more than $3 billion." Zhuang Jihua understood now, he was a little proud in his heart, and there was a hint of showing off in his tone, but everyone was shocked by his wealth and didn't notice it.

"You're not wrong?" Yu Jishi couldn't believe it: "Five years, three billion, and the dollar." ”

"Nonsense, there is no ocean abroad." Zhuang Jihua scolded with a smile: "I said that my business skills are better than wars. ”

"Compared with you, the people have become poor," Chiang Kai-shek suddenly smiled: "Since you are so rich, I will not invest in you, but the matter of our partnership in business still counts." ”

"Headmaster, this is going to be a big eater." Zhuang Jihua said with a sad face.

"Big eaters, yes, it's big eaters, how about it, the Cultural Revolution, last year's Yangtze River flood, thousands of people along the coast were affected, the political axe was in financial difficulties, and only part of the relief could be provided, the principal asked you to make a fate and support it." Chiang Kai-shek said in a mocking tone.

"Principal, your old man has spoken, what else can I say," Zhuang Jihua thought about it with a wry smile and said, "In this way, I will donate 100 million oceans to share the principal's worries." ”

"In that case, I won't pursue the wrong thing for you to leave Germany without permission." Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand generously.
